Imagine them worshipping their oppressor.If Nigerians can vote a dullard like Buhari then Kogites will also vote this Buffon.

My bro, it is every where in the country. Let me tell u a little about Nigerians.

Nigerians love money so much. I really dont know why we got this ugly gene but we over love money. Now, this love for money can make millions do anything to get it. They also love people who have money. Nigerians worship money and owners of money. It is written everywhere that is why pastors, imam, will allocate front seats for big men in the church, praise them and adore them. Now, these leaders have money, and they are worshiped for the money. Remember, in Nigeria, millions tend to lie down for a rich man to walk on them so as to get connection. It is that 'connect me' syndrome that make people to worship their leaders here. So, basically, in Nigeria, simply steal, return to ur community and u will be given senior citizen position.

We saw this happen in Abia state, Delta, Kano, Lagos, Ibadan, etc. It is a national disaster. Worse is even the educated among us are also part of this rubbish. Why?

U see, here, we only respect people with money and people who can oppress. That is why u see many hail soldiers when they oppress. It is still why many join military so as to oppress and intimidate. So, since the society we live in only appraise people with money and ability to oppress, we are now doing everything, anything possible to get that money. If it means selling our entire generation to get that money, we dont mind. if it means killing someone for ritual to get that money, we dont mind, if it means looting the entire budget to get that money, we dont mind.

Our leaders are smart, they understand this very well. I really dont know how we got to this level, but it has never been this terrible. Our leaders know that they can hardly find a decent man in Nigeria who does not love money. When bible said the love of money is the root of all evil, it wasnt mistaking. Money is good bro, but loving money is what has kept us this bad, not lack of money. We are not the only country with bad government but we are so terrible that many outside nigeria have seen us the way we are. We love money, we love show off, we love to intimidate, we love to oppress, we love to shortcut. And we appraise all these ugly qualities, so we strive so hard to exhibit these ugly qualities so as to gain appraisal in our society.

It is the reason the first thing a yahoo boy buys is a car and quickly post it on facebook. That yahoo boy didnt think of using the stolen money to get cure for malaria, or HIV Aids, or solve electricity problem for the black race. Now, that is the difference between us and the whites. I dont know who gave us the brain.

This is why ur leaders too loot the money so as to simply show off, intimidate and get worshiped by us. They will not steal the money and use it to find solution for electricity, or water shortage, etc, they loot it, use it to buy series of cars, houses, travel around the world and show the pics on social media.

It is also why the black race, especially Nigerians, love to spray money at a party. It is called show off. we love it. We like it. We love show off, we dont care about solving our own problems.

ikennaf1:
Don't be fooled, if there wasn't any sinister motive behind the Ruga stuff, Buhari would have wanted southerners sidelined.

Just like dry ports suddenly became more important than real sea ports in this administration... And no southerner ever has a stake in the solid mineral mining going on up north.

hahaha, southern politicians are selfish na. As long as they are paid their allowance, and bogus pay, scam contracts, carry ashawo, and intimidate their people with stolen wealth, they will not say anything.

If southern Nigeria had any true son, they would have changed that yeye constitution since and demand for true federalism by fire or by war. There is no way northern Nigeria can defeat the entire south. But sadly, southern leaders dont care as long as they are fed with tax payers money and stolen wealth.

My only annoyance is that my tax is also part of what these yeye senators, and executive arms are using to get paid..

And if someone insult us as a country now, we will be screaming and talking rubbish as if it is not true. Is this one a country?

Lol, mehn, people who still support Nigeria, una get mind o. I no fit. I cant lie to my self.

ElsonMorali:
Bro, there is no need to fight over all these useless yeye politicians. They are all the same. Don't say the western media demonized Jonathan like as if he was a saint. That's my grouse. Buhari's government is only slightly better than the wide scale thievery that consumed Jonathan.

I can never ever fight over politicians.. Never.. My pain is how westerners have allowed this country to remain united when it can't work. We need a better system like we did during regional based govt.

Also, pls, GEJ is never a saint. I am just angry how we allowed northerners to take over power again due to how southern Nigeria has refused to be reasonable. Now look at where we are. If care is not taken, we might bring El Rufia too as a President. These are extremists and should never be allowed to rule Nigeria. If not for disunity in southern Nigeria, these men can't be close to power..

And finally bro, Buhari govt only seems better becus the media made u think so. My bro, the corruption going on now eh, ur eyes go tear if u know how far.

Total rubbish. I don't watch the show though, I am more interested in the topical issue.

We were created equally. If my fellow man insults me anyhow, na punch straight up, or find a way to handle him.

If a woman insults me any how, na to handle her too, I'm not walking away. Who that one epp? Is she not a human being? Are we not equal?

IvarTheBoneless:

I read his post again and only someone with a microscopic IQ would term that as jealousy.

He stated a plain fact that was just all about common sense.

What is there to be proud about in a congratulatory letter ? Does it add 1 Naira to your account ?

No wonder Black Africa is so backwards. When we have so-called graduates like these.

Even in kindergarten, I could reason better.

No no no, I wouldn't have draged my self into this but this is too much na. Haba, I can see there is natural dislike here. If someone decides to celebrate nonsense, the best u can do is waka and pass. I'm not among those who would celebrate this but hey, I can't be angry if someone else chooses to. I remember when Oni was invited, many yorubas celebrated his importance. I didn't see anything wrong with that too.

Make Una stop this rubbish. And how igbo and yorubas hate one another is crazy. But not really like this in real life.

Cherrybae:
I live in canada this done to all ethnicities in canada not only the igbos

Why the noise.

Nonsense

But no one stopped u from making ur own noise.. Haba, some people just dont like anything igbo. Allow them celebrate or make noise about it, u are free to celebrate yours and not to as well.

ElsonMorali:
Which kain yeye talk be dis wan now? The west yenyenyenyenyen... They used the media against Jonathan. Na so. You mean Jonathan the kleptomaniac, who empowered his ministers to rob the nation blind? Mtscheeeewwwww...

I no get ur time. It is what the media told u na. The same stealing done during GEJ is still happening now.

Lol. In fact worse. Ask ur self where the billion five soldiers diverted was going to. Also, if u are familiar with the story, go ask them how far about such trip. Is been a regular trip.

AroleOduduwa2:
I’m Yoruba myself, just that some of the Yoruba who has control of the media are using it against other region and even other Yoruba’s that doesn’t align with them politically.

Yes, if truly u are yoruba, Im so glad u are responding to truth. And if truly, i would like us to be friends too. I love honest people. Like i always say, yorubas stand to gain more if Nigeria is divided or we practice regional based govt with a weakened central govt. Yorubas will gain more. In fact, south east will suffer just like northern states. But the only thing that gives south east hope is human resources. I really dont know why yorubas are not campaigning for this course. They will benefit more than any other region.

Also, other regions need to take up media seriously! Nigeria as we see it today is terrible bro.

AroleOduduwa2:
Notice how they are pushing the dakolo against fatoyinbo, they are pushing the case in social media knowing it a no case, but publicizing it because it will cover the many bad happening in the buhari led administration

well, they have full control of the media. It was media they used against GEJ. And funny enough they were mainly angry that GEJ didnt give them much juicy positions. That was their major issue against GEJ back then. If GEJ had gotten second term, he would av pushed for the implementation of agreement reach in the conference. This same south west forgot that they ruled for 8 good years and occupied good positions during OBJ tenure. How can a region be this greedy? It was this greediness that pushed them to partner with a terrible person like Buhari. We are all suffering it now. Worse is Tinubu and his gang will never speak up becus of 2023. Mehn, i fear these guys.

Any ways, the best is for other regions to invest heavily in the media and control the media too.

Other regions need to invest heavily in the media. Buhari is not getting the heat he should get simply because Tinubu is on his side.

lol

una never see anything, if u have money, run from this country. I was telling some people on one thread about hosting fifa world cup that we dont need it and they were insulting me, sounding patriotic.

Nigeria is messed up right now. It is like asking Iraq to host a world cup. Nigeria is ruled by extremely greedy fellows. These generals and retired generals are using us play bet naija. The least we need is hosting any competition but to come all out and hold our leaders accountable.

These fight was horribly supported when GEJ was in power to snatch power away from southern Nigeria, then South west felt GEJ didnt give them much position and ended up supporting northern politicians, used media, finished GEJ.. This same south west forgot that they just ruled for 8 years. How can a region be so greedy. No matter how much u want to hide from the reality, it is here with us. U ruled for 8 good years plus many juicy positions, u still felt u must keep on to power, then worked with greedy northern politicians to remove one of ur own.

Alright, the so called Boko Haram which was used as a tool to finish GEJ is now uncontrollable. If u listen to one of the Bring Back our girls organizers, u may weep. These old men now use the system to loot money any how. Herdsmen are now upon us like never before, I heard the news, Boko Haram killed I think two senior military officers along with some other officers. It is sad o. Una never see anything!

Anyone wey get money, run, even if na Bostwana, go there. These old men are so greedy and we all have refused to be truthful to our selves. The people holding this union together today are yorubas. I still dont know why they so much love the country united. I dont understand. And they are the region to benefit more if we path ways or practice true federalism. The least regions to benefit from such arrangements are south east and northern states. But south west no gree o. As long as south west and south east continue to betray one another, northerners will continue to drag the entire country backward. The only thing that pains me most is that my tax money is also been used to fund this useless war against boko haram. And as for those saying if these soldiers are not fighting, Boko Haram would av over run Nigeria, Im sure some of u were happy back then when Boko Haram was used as a tool to chase GEJ out of office. lol

Buhari naturally feels his tribe is superior to others. He is naturally a bigot, and a religious extremist. Buhari is a core Muslim man with strong defeat and conquer mentality associated with that religion.

My only anger is that if anything goes wrong now, na the masses go hear am. Him and his families will be protected by tax payers money. It is crazy. I don't know how our creator decided to allow someone like buhari to rule us..

KingAzubuike:
Yoruba people, they just get mouth and chest beating no action. Very timid set of people.

Stop this rubbish..

Nostradamus:
i saw your post on that thread,i was even against Nigeria hosting the tournament because I fear for the security of those girls. The truth is Nigeria is seriously sick and it seems the government has intention of leaving this country like that. I still insist,with the high rate of kidnappings and murders going on in this country,fifa should save those innocent girls and they should take that tournament away from here.

I couldn't believe some people claimed patriotism is all about believing what is not true. Nigeria is politically confused at the moment. Insecurity is so high. So high now. We are yet to understand solve our political confusion and someone is telling me about hosting FIFA world cup. Why the masses in this country love to live in denial beats Ma imagination. That is how we lie to our selves and call our selves giant of Africa.. Madness. Giant of Africa with 3500MW of electricity for over 150 million people.

This is what i have been saying and some people were aruging with me here that we need to host fifa world cup. Nigeria has long list of serious problems to fix. Daily, Nigerians are been kidnapped and raped at an extremely high rate. The media cant report all. Only high public figures get attention.

There was a time my aunt's husband was kidnapped, they refused to make it media thing and sorted out the kidnappers. Some people said i am not patriotic. I mean, some animals think patriotism means hiding the fact and painting everything white. That is lying. Nigeria is currently having so many malfunctioned systems. What we need is not to host fifa world cup, but a collective way to reduce our problems. Our problem has a lot to do with our constitution and system of govt.

princemillla:
Lol @ part time.....
Nigeria npf need to think outside the box for cool strategies to curb insicurities. It's not about crowd, but good strategy.

The change has to start from orientation. Eg when you call in distress, you won't see olopa until 3hrs after operation.

Me calling police for robbery operation in my area
Me- hello there is a robbery in my area
Olopa- give us direction
Me - after 30 minutes of description
Olopa - how many Re they
Me - I don't know I can't go out
Olopa- oya go and count them
Me- abeg sir.
Olopa - wait dem hold gun
Me - no na catapult dem hold
Olopa- what do you mean, we will be there shortly
Me- pls be fast

The next time I saw olopa was 3hrs later
Anyway there has been a tremendous change in their response to crime.

Well, other hand it good. Job opportunity

Una funny, did u know that many times, police vans dont have fuel supply? Did u also know that many times, the junior rank officers use their money to buy fuel.

Did u also know that these men go on mission without insurance scheme for them? No protection gear, nothing! Live in terrible conditions.

A police man, soldier, cant buy a decent car for 35 years without corruption. U see, in Nigeria, we blame those we are not meant to blame and leave those we are not meant to leave. A military officer, police offer, cant send their kids to decent schools, why? poor salary, poor allowances. During last election, many officers posted were asked to use their own money for many things the govt should have made available to them.

u cant be treating ur security personnel like this and expect them to perform like American police men. Lol, it is never going to happen!

Treat them like American policemen before expecting them to perform like them.

The people we should be blaming are the politicians. Have u checked financial benefits of an ex governor? how about ex senators? lol but we arent blaming those ones, in fact, we protect them and insult our selves on their behalf, serious, naija politicians are enjoying o

Bro, pls call her, speak with her, and break up with her. I am telling u, this sex issue will cause u serious frustration. I know many many people in this mess..

It js good u discovered on time. There js nothing u can do to help her except medication. If u love her so much, locate a good doctor or sex specialist or browse and get medication that can help improve her sex drive. This means u guys need to agree together.

She takes it often to increase her drive. A-side this, there js nothing else u can do bro. It is natural. And this is the most frustrating thing that can happen to anyone in marriage.

MiddleDimension:
you can as well join them in the exile so that the number of people will reduce in the country and the opportunities will go round us even more.

you are here telling lies to yourself while the chinese, indians, Lebanese and recently, the south Africans keep coming here in droves to take opportunities you think do not exist here

As long as u don't rush out of the country for education and health, no problem. And as long as ur President and his vice, senators, etc don't go about schooling abroad and treating them selves abroad, no issues. But since they dont even believe in the institutions we have, it would be stupid of me to believe in them.

MiddleDimension:
and how will our not hostinh the Olympic Games push up the tourism sector?

U guys keep getting it all wrong. Naija has a political problem bro. We have built great infrastructures every where and but they keep messing them up. For instance, our clubs don't have money, so state govt maintain them, as a result, our stadiums are poorly managed. We built some fancy stadiums in the past but they have all wasted now. Don't argue like u don't know. Or u are trying to just argue. Nigeria has unsettled political instability, and the least we need now pump money into hosting

Graduateacher:
What if FIFA had agents here reading these nonsense you've been spewing since? I don't know who gave you phone and money for N100 data that you won't let people hear word again. You guys never support anything good, always condemning, tufia!

Dam u bro. I will feed u over and over again.. Like u really think everyone here is a low life? Get Dey heck out of here.. What nonsense insult. My monthly data budget maybe ur salary.

I am talking about a country that has too many political problems with so many uncertainties. Killings here and there, one section of the country calling one tribe to leave one region, too many political uncertainty and u are blaming me for saying the truth. And feel I use 100 naira data. I mean that was fucking low of u. I go feed u bro.

MiddleDimension:
but we now know that it is just your opinion and they are not based on facts, but on the wide spread cynicism you find among Nigerian youth among whom BBN is more popular than intellectualism

Go and check out our tourism record and compare with that of other countries..

MiddleDimension:
but at least we will have airports we can boast about, not what we currently have. we will have roads the sort of Umar Musa Yar'Adua all over the country. our rails will be like China's high speed rail. our Yankai national parks will be given face-lift etc. and there will be more jobs

Hahahahahaha.. If I hear. Nigeria currently does not have a record and data about her tourism sector. Naija get issues to face. Maybe later we can host.

MiddleDimension:
alot of those who run out of the country illegally are those who are from an ethnic group where migration is the culture. there are more of them living in other parts of Nigeria than there are living in their land. they also did not tell you that they spend an average 4k dollar on those journeys they make

Lol, be deciecing ur self.. As long as ur leaders run abroad for simplest health issue and send their kids abroad for education, I don't blame anyone who runs too. If the people we pay to use our money to fix health and education run to other countries for same services, that shows how terrible the country is. Ur VP and ex senate President just attended their kids graduation in the UK. Lol.

MiddleDimension:
we don't lie to ourselvess.
Nigerians qualify for self-hate. this is absolutely true!

LOOK INTO THE DAILIES AND TELL ME HOW MANY THING ARE REPORTED POSITIVELY WHEN INDEED THEY ARE NEGATIVE? ALL YOU SEE IN THE NEWSPAPER IS NEGATIVITY EVERYWHERE. YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE BBC AFRICA HAVE YOUR SAY PROGRAMME WHEN WE CELEBRATES OUR 50TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY AMD HEAR WHAT NIGERIANS SAY ABOUT THE COUNTRY. THEY WERE ALL PESSIMISTIC! WHEN INFACT, WE HAVE RISEN THE LITERACY LEVEL FROM 7% ABD INDEPENDENCE TO OVER 60% OVER THAT TIME. WITHIN THE SAME TIME, WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF OUR UNIVERSITIES FROM 1 TO OVER 100. NOLLYWOOD DID NOT EXIST AT INDEPENDENCE BUT AS AT 2010, IT WAS ALREADY 3BN DOLLAR LARGE. I CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON.

I SAY IT AGAIN, I AM REALLY SURPRISED THERE ARE ANYONE ASIDE ME HERE, WHO THINKS WE SHOULD HOST THE OLYMPICS

Host wetin when u will quickly fun to India for medical treatment! Naaaa it doesn't make sense.

MiddleDimension:
we did not build rail and airports and roads for Nigeria '99 and '09 FIFA tournaments we also did not build for Ghana/Nigeria nations cup in 2000.
what we built things for is the All Africa Games. the games village is still there and have been sold out. atleast that has provided houses for those who could afford them, who are themselves Nigerians. the roads put in place to the from airport to the stadium is still the best in the country as we speak. all the road networks in Abuja AMAC are still the best in the country.

so what's your point again?

Okay na. Make Una host competition and make Una citizens keep running out of the country. Bro, I'm done with the argument.

Okoroawusa:
Sorry young man, that is how patriotic I am.The Igbos have a saying,"Onye ara nwere madu".Meaning: Even a mad man has relatives.
I no go take say my mama madwoman come be the one wey go first stone her for market square.


Thank You.

Patriotism is saying it the way it is. Simple. We lie to our selves too much. Yet our leaders send their kids to study abroad, why? Because the country is wack.

Okoroawusa:
You can air ur view about Nigeria n its inadequacies but I will take an exception to you calling Nigeria wack.


If any of my students say that aloud in my class, that is the end of his attendance of my class.

That is total oppression.. The identity of Nigerians leaders. U just showed how u one of such..

MiddleDimension:
the roads, rails airports too? they will all go to waste?

The ones we built, how far?

Baba, naija get issues. Everything spent waste. We once had a good rail network system but where are they? Najja get issues.

Primusinterpares:
They keep sending their wards abroad for studies, medicals n all... Yet they claim they are leading us...

Exactly what I was telling someone in another thread. We need to find a way to fix these nonsense instead of demanding to host FIFA world cup. Seriously, the biggest slap on our faces as a nation is for those whom we pay to use our money to provide us education, get paid, but send their kids abroad for education and flaunt it online on our faces.. That is the biggest slap ever..

Then their kids will return and get better juicy job waiting. Haaaaaaaaa we too mumu for this country..

Okoroawusa:
Young man,never call your country wack!!!

Becus of what? If my country is wack then it is. We lie to our selves too much. It doesn't make sense. Even as great as America is, their citizens still call her names in areas they feel she is not doing well. Make Una talk truth.

If our country is not wack, we wouldn't have such high level of Nigerians running from the country.

MiddleDimension:
thay was a small tournament

My brother o, the same tournaments we called small, many countries have done same and still had many improvements. Look at stadiums we used to host all African game, as big as it was, we spent tax payers money, but heh, what is the nature of the stadium?

See, we don't have a good league. We have many things to put in place bro.. Else all the stadiums will waste again. Our money, tax payers money will waste..
