You want to grab money from every angle by all cost. And that end, it ends in the pocket of few individuals.

This has been my argument. The system of corruption has not been defeated. The govt needed to reduce corruption in govt first, before coming down to the masses. The govt officials are too powerful, looting anyhow and practice nepotism and favourism more than anything else. This money comes in but goes back to the pockets of the elites. They are already well paid. What this govt needed to do was to do a lot more in the area of tax targeting rich individuals to limit their acquisition of material properties. But no, they keep stiffing life out of the masses. What happened is that corruption shifted from the people looting it before to a new set of people!

This country needed to first ensure our of us are captured digitally, profile of Nigerians, make every aspect of govt digital, remove all analog way of doing govt transactions and contracts bidding. A corrupt country like Nigeria will make her citizens suffer the more when too many levies and tax are paid.

MASTERCHIEF0847:
Adenuga has hausa employees, Dangote has yoruba & ibo employees. The Nigerian structure is the problem right from independence.

Bros, right from day one, ethnic supremacy has always been our major problem. The issue is when you have issue like this, one tribe in Nigeria sees leadership as it birth right. Have u listened to their leaders talk? They just feel every other tribe must bow to them and they should control leadership. There is no way any country can work with ethnic supremacy. The Nigerian model can't work like the Chinese.

These countries you mentioned, the leaders don't have fear allowing all ethnic groups properly represented. In the case of Nigeria, hausa fulani have the mentality of defeat and conquer.

The best way we should start is regional based govt into six regions. That way, we can reduce the friction at the central level.

To me, the UK system of govt is best for Nigeria.

I have said it that Nigerian FG is totally useless and a burden to the Nigerian state.

PoliticalWitch:
Security in Nigeria has really been bad since yesterday.

In my opinion, it is high time the Police thought up better ideas to fight crime in Nigeria. Yes, they are underfunded...but surely they can do something with the funds they have. Drones, human intelligence...etc.

Meanwhile....wonder what the governors of Adamawa past and present are doing with their security votes.

My brother, forget security votes, make una no do as if u want to avoid blaming who to blame. The state governors dont have control over the security of their states. The commissioner and other state security heads are not to answer to the governor. Whatever the governor want to do must be accepted in Abuja. When will u guys know that our system of govt no long works in this modern time. Almost every country moved with current situation of modern complexity, only Nigeria is so scared of losing up her FG mights due to fear of breakup. We go die if we break up ni?

The fact that the masses are closer to the local govt chairmen and state governors, than they are to FG, this security issue will continue to be an issue for the country. The governors are always going to Abuja to beg for security help. They are helpless. In fact a state governor can only talk and do almost nothing. To change an incompetent commissioner na war except approved in Abuja. He needs to keep traveling and begging and lobbying.

Also, hunger and unemployment are too much in the country. Guns are every where in the country now. The current govt got into power thru many coordinated violence from day, most of these weapons have been moving around in the country.

Nigeria needs change her system of govt to bring it closer to the state and local govt chairmen. I cant protest for lack of electricity in my state becus my state will tell me na Abuja the matter dey. I will need to travel all the way to Abuja to start protesting.

My brother, if u are sincere to ur self, u will understand what im saying, but if u are a party guy, forget, u wont. Until we are ready to weaken the powers of the central govt, make states richer, and give states and local govt more controls, forget it, Nigeria will only get worse.

asanwafo:
This Bayelsa wahala that u roped in APC in it, is it internal wahala?

E be like sey u be core APC fan. I'm out.

asanwafo:
Disqualified by who?

APC was disqualified in Zamfara, and Rivers state due to their internal wahala up and down. Guy, forget naija politicians, except u are a member. They are all the same.

frankmoney:
both parties are lawless ..... But the fact that ppl like Reno and ffk try as much to paint thier parties as saints is laughable

That is how Tinubu, Lai Mohamed, Buhari, Amaechi, etc pain theirs white. They are all criminals who are using Nigerian youths play football. I pity for youths in this country. In the next 30 years, youths of today and the kids we will make go understand better.

frankmoney:
PDP doesn't deserve to win the governorship election in bayelsa honestly . Lawlessness everywhere . I'm sure if it was another party Reno or ffk would have tweeted by now

But is it not same issue with apc? Was apc lawlessness not the reason they got disqualified in some states? U guys dont just understand that party is just a non living thing, but humans function in political parties. some of these guys causing problems here and there in these parties can always swap to another party.

I am ashamed of being an African. We are so useless. If we had governed well, no one would be fighting to be on their own. But this useless country is full of ethnic sentimental drivers, corrupt politicians who can not provide basic amenities of life to her citizens yet, get paid by tax payers money and common wealth, and still lock them up for complaining. If there is anything worse than being a black man in Nigeria, let me know.

U cheat people, u still use public institutions to lock them up for complaining. What exactly do u want them to do? No wonder many have taken suicide as their best option becus u cheat them and still don't want them to voice out.

meccuno:
The greatest mistake for the black man was amalgamation. The southern part of Nigeria is in serious bondage. We need to be free from these Northerners before it's too late. Division is the only way forward .

I sincerely don't know why great southern leaders don't want to talk about this.

Apeshy101:
Nigeria is Nigeria.

If the north is bad, Nigeria is bad!

If a foreigner ask you where you are from, what would be your reply?

Nigeria!

Nigeria is not getting any better with the current system, most youths are filled with hate for the other ethnics, these same youth would grow up to be leaders and the hate continues.

Its time to keep tribal sentiments aside and face the reality.

Peace!

Well, it can't stop except the leaders decide to be truthful and show love. With the current system practised by northern leaders who have vowed never to allow a particular region rule, the hate in nigeria will continue. If only we can have just one leader who will come in, heal thr country with true love, show love, treat every tribe equally, then begin process of amending the constitution, these will gradually flow into the heart of the masses.

The second option is if the masses can team up and fight their unrepentant leaders.

omenka:
You earn your money sef in dollars. That was where I stopped.

Tufiakwa!! I wonder how that is important to the discussion at hand.

Earn money in dollars. Na today? Talking really stuff and someone I thought is intelligent wants to turn it to a personal dick measuring contest. Na my face this one wan come brag. You're sorely lost kiddo, very lost.

Goodbye, and goodluck with your dollar earnings.

Thanks.. And glad u are ending it. I can't follow u into ethnic war and political party wars. Politicians are not paying my bills, so I can't fight for them online.

omenka:
ROTFLMAO!!

The way you guys are defending a PDP's disdain for Ndigbo is mind boggling!!

Which yeye rotation are you talking about? The same rotation Jonathan claimed NEVER EXISTED? If you guys in the SE believed so much there was such an arrangement in PDP, why then did your delegates vote Jonathan at the primaries and NOT ATIKU?

Y'all think you're talking to a toddler here? I've been a political participant and keen observer since 99 so you dont come around here trying to sell me all that fairy tale.

Imagine the lie you're trying to push here. So, in your mind, Atiku was queued behind bu the South East because they believe he was coming to complete yaradua's term. Wtf! How does that even sound to you?

Atiku was voted by the South East for two reasons:

1. He stood under your preferred party, PDP.

2. He picked one of your brothers as his running mate and you believe if their plans succeed, you'd be a foot inside the presidential villa and hopefully step both feet in after he was done with his tenure.

Number one being a stronger reason than number two, which was shy you guys had to sacrifice Ojukwu on the platter of loyalty to PDP.

That said, in all honesty, does anyone believe had Atiku succeeded, he would have done just a term (complete yar aduas terms)?? You know that is a huge fallacy. Now, after Atiku, if he had succeeded, finished his first term, since you claim you believe so much in the rule of rotation as you put it, would you guys have abandoned him and voted a southerner under another party?

The answer is a capital NO!!

Your argument holds not a drop of water my brother.

Well, bro, my apology for quoting u. I am not interested. I guess u may think I'm one of those who drag parties with u. Nah, I don't have such energy. Just told u what went wrong and which caused many problems to PDP. I am not a fan of any politician. They have all failed nigerians. I am earn my money my self in $$. I don't have time to drag nigerian leaders with u. Whatever u believe is fine. I made a mistake to quote u. My apology. OBJ ruled for 8 years, did it make south west to be like ordinary cape town? Northerners have produced more leaders than southerners, has north become ordinary Durban? No, it is still the least educated area in sub saharan Africa. So, Buhari is completing five years, no difference yet. All these leaders are same. I am not interested where they come from. They have not added any value here. They don't pay me. They don't feed me. How some Nigerians drag presidency and political appointments as if these leaders will remember not to loot when they get there makes me laugh. U have turned my comment into "how you guys", pdp vs APC, etc. This shows how some nigerians can be. If pdp hates igbos, fine, no problem but how much have they done for the regions they love? Has pdp turned south west, or north they love (since u said pdp hates igbo), has pdp turned other regions into Dubai? Has pdp given other regions stable electricity? Water, housing, has it reduced unemployment, what about security?

Same with APC, the hunger hitting the country knows no region, it respects no party. Apc that love other regions, has it provided electricity to other regions, what about the killings across the entire country, kidnapping here and there? When u say a party hate a region, I will believe if only that same party has provided the basic amenities of life to other regions and refused to do so for igbos.
What u and others who think like u don't know is politicians hate Nigerians. I saw picture of pry school in south west, I almost wept. Same story across the entire country. May God help people like u.

omenka:
Some people (even though they're featherweight politicians) are MULLING some ideas, what are you guys on the other hand doing? Trolling on social media in the hope that would give you the presidency you thirst for?

What is stopping you from asking PDP whom you've laboured for with such unparalleled loyalty for TWENTY YEARS to give you a shot at the presidential ticket?

This is one this I just dont understand!! Is PDP such a devilish party as to treat the South East with such hatred despite all they've done for the party?

Pdp rotates based on north and south. South for pdp went to OBJ who ruled for 8 years. When it was turn of the north, they produced Yaradua, unfortunately, he died. Southerner continued again. That was what started the problem for pdp and nigeria at large. So pdp traditionally, needs to allow north complete her tenue which yaradua started. According to pdp, southern nigeria has ruled in their party 14 years. 8 Years of OBj and 6 years of GEJ. Pdp will zone the ticket to north becus they are the ones to rule under pdp. Giving it to south again under pdp is bad.

FactBoyz:


Can someone tell me why people stood in the line under hot sun to vote for this man? I just don't get it

It seems u dont know that there are more foo lish people in Nigeria than sane people. Millions will still vote for Buhari becus of religion, ethnic sentiment, poverty of the mind and brain. The people who are reasonable in Nigeria are far less in number and mainly not interested in politics.

Elxandre:
Sorry bro.
You aren't making sense.

You obviously don't know how Payoneer works.

He didn't use real payoneer na, how can fake payonerr work like real payoneer?

He did a phising site for payoneer and there are many people who don't know how payoneer works. They are his target. I have clients who don't know about payoneer but I educated them and they paid me thru it. He just lied to them, the design is payoneer the functionality is not payoneer. Did u get it now?

Elxandre:
Payoneer doesn't collect credit card details.
They rather issue theirs. Funny story.

Why una funny like this? The blogger must have made a mistake but my understanding of the issue is that he built a fake payoneer website and convinced buyers to use it to make payment. Now, not all buyers know how payoneer works, if they read that they can use payoneer to make payment, most of them wont even understand that it doesnt work that way. The people scammed online are not usually people like u who know how the system works, the scammers target people who dont understand exactly how things work. If he cloned payoneer website, the cloned one will work differently from how the original one works. His main aim is to collect their details.

Tmonex:
lol payoneer is not a payment method on amazon. Try to check out and see for your self.

If you publish a book on amazon kindle. Amazon sells your book for you. You get paid using payoneer.com A legit website which we all know about on nairaland business section.

The lies in this news is too much to be believed. That boy should get a good lawyer. He is being framed.

I do online business bro. I am into online for long bro. Sellers have sweet mouth to lure buyers to make payment outside the market plat platform. E Dey happen wella and many buyers fall into this scam a lot. All it takes na sweet mouth.

Barryseal:
I hate cyber fraudsters but I have a feeling this guy is doing a legit buisness. He's an Amazon Kindle publisher and Amazon is a very protected site. No way he can set up a phishing site with a backlink to Amazon. He may have been tortured into admitting he set up "payoneer".
The guy will be walking home free if he gets a good lawyer. The illiteracy in our law enforcement rank and file is staggering. Most of them got into police with forged certificates.

My brother, forget that thing, he can make his buyers use outside system payment with a promise of discount and all that. They still do it till date. Many buyers easily fall for this.

Academicwizman:
Payoneer is his website? Intelligence at its peak! Considering this obvious 'inaccuracy' in this purported investigation, the guy might be doing a legit business. Unless, otherwise, the website he owns is a fishing site mimicking payoneer. Payoneer is a legit site.

Haba na, na fishing of payoneer him do na. I don't know why some people are mixing it up. Hold the journalist or blogger responsible for not saying it exactly how some people want to hear it.

jayson87:
the guy said he designed payoneer... LWKMD

He cloned the portal bro. Fake one that looked like the original and used it to collect the details of their credit card.

Martinez39:
I didn't start reading your posts from beginning so I can't say where you are coming from. I wonder why you brought up the fact that you will train your daughters to dress decently. I don't get how it's logically relevant to this issue. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Have a good afternoon.

Yea, I want to train my both kids that way. I can't teach my son to respect no only to be punished with immoral dressings. There is a reason even the religious teachings condemn fornication, adultery, and indecent dressing. If indecent dressing wasn't an important issue, all the religious teachings wouldn't have spoken against it. So, other can go on and act woke and pretend that they are woke, me and my family will raise son who is responsible, understands a No, never engage in rape, and a daughter who doesn't go about wearing sexually stimulating dresses and seductive behavior. Even my bible condemned those who lure others into sin. U may not be a Christian, so I can understand u bro.

solmusdesigns:




That is what happens when you have a Dunce as Artoney General, even if Buhari is naive of the law and forces DSS to act in frivolous manners, cant the Artoney General Advise against such



..

Blacks gave too much power to their executive presidents. The entire judiciary and Legislature all asslick the President in Nigeria. It didn't start today. Our constitution needs to be worked on. There are many things Trump would like to do but he can't because the Legislative arm in his country is fully independent.

Martinez39:
Oga, ladies cannot be stopped from dressing as they pleased and I believe that it's their right to dress as they want. As men, we are responsible for our actions. Seductive dressing can never be a good excuse. Am I missing anything?

Oga, I didn't say it is a reason. Pls if u don't want to understand me, fine. Go ahead and believe what u want to believe. U can train ur kids as u like.

But for me, my sons will learn to respect No and never rape a woman. My girls will learn to dress modestly. That we are in 21 century shouldn't mean we should go about planting sexual contents up and down inside our heads.

I don't know why people are even against porn sef. Dey for Dey show porn up and down for street sef.

pocohantas:
This was his exact mindset in Nigeria, unluckily for him- he entered plane with it.

Look at him now... continue ehn.

Well, I never encouraged rape. But will train my daughter to dress properly, and train my son to respect a NO. U can train yours how u like.

Sterope:
Years ago and even till today, there are civilisations that don't cover fully. It is not unusual to see their women with bare chests going about their businesses.

The difference between their civilisations and the modern age is sexualisation.

A woman's dressing is not an excuse to rape a woman, maybe temptation to have sex but not to rape. We should not be giving voices to rapist's. Your training doesn't mean your daughter might not evolve on her own. What then are you going to do? Tell your daughter that she si tempting men to rape her?

My dear, read my post again. Some of u just like to sound some how. I said I am never encouraging rape. Never. I also made it clear I will train my son to respect a no. Rape is bad. Indecent dressing too is bad. I can't clap for u going about naked too. As much as I detest a rapist with vigor, I detest a lady who goes about seducing men. Some girls intentionally do these things. On social media, u see them doing it. When they discuss, they know what they are doing, they want to seduce. I am very close to ladies and I know how some of the reason. They know the power that they have in making men lust after them. So as much as I condemn rape, I condemn women who intentionally use the body to cause deliberate seduction by what they wear. The difference between the past culture and now is that now sex is now everywhere. Many things plant sex thoughts into ur head. From movies, to the out world, to magazines, pics, stories. Sexual contents are every where and they keep planting the desire into minds and head of millions of people. And some fo ols who don't have maximum self control go into rape. I know how some dressings of some ladies stimulated me and drove me crazy but because I have self control, it dies down. We have sold sex to our world and that is why we are where we are.

pocohantas:
He thought he is in Nigeria...When you tell some of them here that with their mentality, they won't last 1yr as a free man abroad- they will be shouting feminist!



I hope you can also see that no one is asking what she was wearing or why she went to a guy's room when she doesn't want her toto to be drilled- like some useless guys here do.

Hope you can see no one is asking if she is a virgin and hasn't fcked before?

Whether 20/25yrs, that place isn't Nigeria. People speak out after years there too. There are generally no useless people in saner climes, doing accurate timekeeper and telling you when to speak.

yea, but dear, no matter how woke we want to be, indecent dressing is indecent dressing. I am only replying this based on what u said about no one is asking her what she wore.

Sincerely, I just wish men can start dressing the way women do. I mean just expose everything for the world to see. This is not in any way supporting crime. I am going to raise my daughter to dress properly. I will also teach my son to respect every woman. A no is a no. Simple. And my daughter will never be a source of temptation to anyone. She will dress well.

When I tell people that Nigeria does not deserve my tax, they think I'm lying. The leaders just know how to loot.

dairykidd:
You supposed to know from that mugu post say him na dunce.. There are women who look good but are very disciplined, they don't create room for nonsense or entertain bs that would eventually lead to what can be avoided.. That mugu guy probably still stays under his parents or has not yet woken up to reality. Let him be enjoy his lala land for now

Exactly.. Dressing good and dressing seductively for strangers are two different things. As for the guy, na yeye guy. He never see anything in life. Trying to form woke. Lol

“My 10 days fact findings visit to Nigeria has presented an economic inequality in the country, which has reached extreme level and is playing itself out clearly in the housing sector..."

Everyone else has noticed that the hardship and poverty in the country has reached an all time high, only Buhari asslickers don't see it.

Ikem11:
I wonder how house owners are now the problem of poverty in Nigeria. The government failed woefully in making life liveable in Nigeria by their greedy nature in them.

Even if the house become 20k a month many won't afford it when they basic salary is 30k

How will the taxing benefit a common man on the street cos those he-goats in power will still embezzle the money.

Problem of Nigeria is Security, epileptic power supply, bad roads, bad water, bad leaders... Fix that and common man will enjoy that country.

Well, what do I know anyway.

The idea is to tax the rich more. That is how it is done in reasonable countries. This helps to reduce long throat that has eaten deeply into our lives. One man go get 17 cars because he is not paying tax on them.

One of the major reasons we loot in Nigeria is our greed level and love for material things.

fyneguy:
You cannot prove that shyt. It's possible the moneybags gave them money. Dangote and others.

My brother, na naija we Dey. That is what they have been doing.
Wait until APC leaves office. U will hear more. When Oyo state governor was in power, no one saw it coming, he is out now, Makinde has been release figures of money he mismanaged. I don't trust a single Nigerian politician.

It is just like someone telling u to prove that the last election was not rigged. The both major parties rigged. The highest rigger won. Not our constitution and their smartness made it almost impossible to prove. U think before Nigerian leader would do such thing, he must have blocked all area of traces. Baba, if u are close to any Nigerian leader, u will understand. They are heartless and greedy.
