I think the North are really doing well to stay away from this kind of offence.

Their own home terrorism and bandatry, it is worse

Magnumproperty:
But if Atiku or Obi is the current president and removed subsidy and float the naira has they had said in 2022; won't there be hardship as we are witnessing currently. At least just some couple of weeks ago; Obi still reaffirmed it that he would have floated the naira just as Tinubu had done.

And I will still attack them. There is no need suffering the masses while politicians enjoy. Anyone who suffers the masses while protecting the politicians, is my enemy. If u are doing these policiies and politicains including ur pals are going to jail, taking back stolen money, then I have no problem. Makes no sense to suffer me while politicians who created the problems are enjoying.
So, baba, I am not your regular nairaland who ass lick politicians. I am more inteersted in a working electoral system so that once any politician messes up, we vote him out. If politcians can be scared of losing election frm the masses, not from rigging, they will rule better because they would be scared of the masses.

yarimo:
Oppositions are just confused completely, TINUBU na una mate in politics ne 🤣

What is special about Tinubu or Nigerians call wayo wayo way as being smart? The man has done nothing but hardship, u dey talk rubbish.
Destroyed the middle class purchasing power, u dey talk rubbish. Bro, no let them hear u for street. He remains the most unpopular president in the history of nigeria. His only saving grace is his elistic approach which is to favour few elites who will help him work. If it is by direct access to the masses, he lacks it. Buhari had die hard fans, organic. Tinubu is only popular in south west. He is heavy relying on elites to help him. Remove people like Wike and their likes in states, he will lose too much. Unfortunately, here, it is pure dirty politics. INEC officials will arrive late so that poeple will get tired and leave. They will arrive with faulty machines to give way for manual voting, elects will enter into the night for wayo wayo tactics. We know all these things, no baba, nothing special about him. Used to think he was actually smart and spacial. Atiku, Obi and Buhari all have natural organic strong followership than Tinubu. These ones dont need elites to help them do wayo wayo stuff. Unlike the current man, he cant mess with Wike and their likes. Na them fit help am o. So, he must favour them.

DEROX:
We all know why SA is doing this and i cant blame them. They are right.
You want chinese to leave lagos but you dont want to leave south africa make it make sense to me. Or is SA a no mans land too

There are countless Yorubas in SA, i know a lot of them, like a lot of them.

The biggest issue with Nigeria is that we hire forigners for almost all our critical builds.. this is bad, we need strong STEM focused courses to build massive man power to handle 97% of our science driven builds. This will save us a lot of money, and help us make more money. But it seems the average black man has given up on stuff like this .

Fiscus105:
Will they even allow the partner to go into theatre?


The best thing is to do scan in that hospital before surgery and go to other hospital for scanning after surgery.

With that you will be able catch them red handed.

Exactly

Guestmale:
Thank you, this is exactly what came to my mind

Dont mind them, someone already claimed I am not smart

Lastmankc:
You are not very smart at all.

Person wey dull no dey build software for first world countries way before AI became a thing, software processing huge numbers. So, baba rest. Most relatives dont know about body organs, so how will they confirm? Use a reliable hospital and if u suspect anything in ur body, do a second scan if u have don surgery, period.

how will ur relative who doesnt know organs know when one is harvested? what if u ask and the doctor says, it is part of waste, what will u do?

badoh:
People whose places of works are not far from their home should embrace the use of bicycle to work. People commute to work in advanced countries using their personal bike and they are not ashamed of this, however our individual ego and show off will not let people embrace this.

What has this got to do with hardship ?
Hope U know that teenagers buy car with ease in developed countries. U want to drive on naija road wey cars are battling with bike men already. U come are bike riding?

Thundafireseun:
It is only a senseless man that bites the hands that feed him

U people are funny. How did he bite the hand? Or are we saying that Wike made him governor? Is it right to have someone determine election for our states? I dont even understand what democracy we practice o. Why dont we just stop wasting tax payers money and cancel election, so people can be god fathering in peace? Becuase I dont understand the problem with a governor running his administration without Wike trying to force his candidates on him.

Thiefobi1:
Same with buhari body language.

B$hari was a notorious tribal person, so his croonies were looting anyhow.
Obi has shown that he is very resrict. And mind u, u cant compare a man like Obi who became billionaire complete outside being a govt official, runs top class business, u cant compare such to people whose lives starts and end in politicians. Politics is what gave them money.
Nigeria's biggest problem is wastage and corruption. We need a man who can tackle these two stuff. Not more taxes

yomisams:
Well it all depends, I don't think military rule is a good thing. cos not all military rule are nice and you can't predict the outcome, most times.

Is it all civilian rule that is nice and U can predict? Did U predict the hardship under the civilian rules in Nigeria ?

SmartPolician:
There's even a commission specifically established for this yeye hajj.

Nigeria doesn't have a long way to go - Nigeria hasn't even started at all.

This is what they are wasting my tax on and someone said I should work harder and pay more tax. A very useless country ever created by the UK. The most useless entity on earth called Nigeria. A country claimed to be poor, waste tax payers money on religious activities and living standard of politicians.

Here is the stuff, he is the most unpopular president ever in history of NIgeria. Aside South west, baba is not popular at all. He has one strategy though: use the very popular elites in each region and states. It works because the average Nigerian worship money and their elites. Those elites will do the dirty jobs. I mean, listening to Wike, u can confirm some nasty things he says and is proud of. Some of the things he has said, in saner clime, he could have been arrested.
An elitist is someone who makes the elites comfortable while the elites in turn help him to hold the masses hostage.

RichDad1:
Misguided youths that think the Igbos care about them.
They should ask their grandparents how they were treated during the civil war.

Well,Nigeria has treated them worse, baba!

vanitybutiwanti:
Nigeria is not rich in oil and gas, you have a flawed idea about our wealth. Are you aware thatbsince Tinubu became president, the country has been unable to fund its budget completely? Remember that budgetting is not expenditure, the fact that 50 trillion was budgeted doesn't mean the country has 50 trillion to spend in that particular year. Nigeria is a poor country and it has been unable to generate cash to cover its budget in one fiscal in past 3 years hence the reason the president has been rolling over budget. How many Nigerians have your kind of jobs? The fact that you pay vat abd other taxes doesn't mean the average Nigerian pay taxes too, remember that the bulk of Nigerians operate in the informal sector? Even almighty Dangote Refinery with its revenue in billion of dollars employ less than or equal to 20k Nigerians, now what is the ratio of 20k to 200 million? You can criticise and claim to be righteous because you were fortunate to get a ' good job ' , how many Nigerians have your kind of job? I put it to you that building hospitals and schools won't solve Nigerias problem, Nigeria needs jobs from companies built by Nigerians not from FDI or FPI and if we are being realistic, how do you expect money for such investment to come if there is no ' corruption ' ? As bad as wike is and as bad as people claim he is, do you know the number of people working in luxury hotels, parks, retail, oil and gas,road and real estate construction company, hospitals that people claim are affiliated to him? You claim that 30m is enough for politicians, do you know what it takes to be an LGA Chairman or ordinary house of assembly member? 30m can't cover the cost of banners or billboards or printed outfits or evil fueling of vehicles for moving from one point to another. Just like America, Nigerian politician will keep stealing till thy kingdom come only that it will get to a point where the stealing becomes less obvious and creative, politicians won't steal directly themselves anymore, they will nominate private companies to get humongous contracts and those companies will in turn fund their campaigns and protect their financial interests. Stealing will not stop, if you are a politician you will understand better, imagine being in charge of IGR and FAAC in billion of naira and your kids are still attending ordinary schools or your brother who you grew up with still leaves in a 2 bedroom flat in an obscure part of town? Or imagine being a returning assembly member or LGA Chairman in a rural LGA Nigeria going forvre election and going to speak English to rural people without solving their immediate financial needs? Or imagine being such a politician and not even taking care of the security detail assigned to you in this evil country? And where else will the money for such expenditure come from? Even getting party ticket is another tussle. You have to bulldoze your way and bribe heaven and earth and you expect such a person to speak, advocate for you and have your best interet at heart? Whose fault is it if you as an adult choose to take the ' deceitful ' words of politicians at face value? All over the world as far as I am concerned politicians are sociopaths, if you understand human nature, you should know that anybody who can stand in front of a crowd and command the crowd to do his or her bidding is a sociopath. It's not their fault, it's you who failed to realise that politics in itself is wayo and a game of self, even in saner climes no single leader can singlehandedly sort out the needs of everyone, when a leader emerges, the small circle behind him must and will get more benefits than the overwhelming population who were fooled by appearance, rhetorics and sweet speeches. It is what it is. Or can you beat your chest to say you can solve Nigerias problem in 4 years if we make you president tomorrow? Remember some of us will see you as a failure if you don't produce the millions of jobs you promised in your stint as president?!

All these ones u are writing makes no sense, why is a poor country spending billions on luxury, then wants me to pay more tax, so that politicians will buy more luxuries? Make it make sense. They buy luxury and tell us to endure. Them and who will endure?

vanitybutiwanti:
[b]How many people in Nigeria pay tax? What is the ratio of the total number of people who pay tax compared to the total population? Nigeria is bad and its no fault of people at the helm today, the foundation has been faulty from inception. So make NASS member no buy car again because of wetin printedapace go talk? Even in the so-called called saner climes, senators get cars from government. Nigeria has a money problem and anybody that has a chance to represent or serve will automatically sort himself out and his family and its no fault of theirs, it's the system. Tomorrow now if people like you who claim to be righteous see a politician suffering because they refuse to do what their colleagues did while in office, you will call them out and accuse them of being docile , and also if your brother or a close family friend becomes governor tomorrow, no matter what you claim to have today, won't you expect him to make you richer or wealthier? Its only on the Internet that NIGERIANS claim to be righteous, real life is very different. Your pastor will expect you to do big project for the church, immediate families will be expected to be sent to the best schools abroad. Brothers , sisters, and even village people will expect that their fortunes will change overnight. Infact why should they even support you, if you become that governor or senator and at the end of the day there is no significant improvements in their lives? Imagine if Tinubu was my father or uncle, do you think I'd care about all you are writing about? You mean in all honesty, I won't be expecting my uncle who is the president to make me extremely rich or comfortable? Even if i am abroad, I'd establish communication with him and rush down to Nigeria and I saw this happen when GEJ was president. Nigerian leaders steal because in Nigeria a wealthy man's wealth is not for himself alone, it's for a community or a village compared to Europe and America where people don't give birth indiscriminately and families are not dependent on the big man from their villages or community. You may not understand now but I pray you get a position in government so that you can see things from that perspective. [/b]

Let me tell u how much tax we pay:
Some of u think tax is only paid via income tax.
Nigerians have always paid VAT and that is huge. And income tax not paid is only under the unofficial labour market. The official labour market, people have been paying tax.
Mind you, Nigeria is rich in oil, gas, minerals, land, water, lithium, gold, the list goes on.
So, what u are saying is that Nigeria is bad, there is nothing anyone can do but lets continue to loot.
Are u not understanding what u are saying?
U claim to be a poor country but u are spending 15billion to buy SUV.

If I tell revenue commission that my company is poor but my company bought me car worth 100m, will revenue commisison listen to me? Do u people listen to ur selves?
Like politicians claim that we are poor but same politicians are among the richest on earth, imagine people wey get properties in other countries just by being politicians.
Oga, rest this case, there is no diffence here. As a poor country, ur politicians arent supposed to be spending on luxury with public money, that money is supposed to be spent on quality education, quality healthcare.
Nigeria has been bad from the beginning? But u are contesting that u will fix it? So, why are we paying u?
Do u know that each time client pay me $$ govt takes 7.5 percent as vat which is deducted from my money. If I calculate how much nigeria has taken from me alone from such tax directly, I go shout.
Now, after that, u still pay stamp duty for the money to land in ur nigerian acct which goes to govt. After that u still pay VAT for almost all services u still purchase with that same income. bro, some of us are smart na, we are paying tax for nigeria, no let anyone tell u orderwise. The country's problem is corruption, wastage and paddled budget. No body has tackled these three, these money are supposed to be invested in education to build quality society that can produce solution to her problems. But no, your politicians failed to invest in education and healthcare but will run to other countries that invest in such. No be shame be that? Nigerian politician convoy long pass many developed countries own.
Nigerian politicians waste tax and resource money getting medical care abroad. Bro, stop defending rubbish.
As a poor country, the politicians should drive not luxury cars, they should drive cars assembled in Nigeria which is cheaper. 20m to 30m is okay for 95% of the politicians to use, maybe excluding presidents and governors, the rest should use it. That is how u cut cost. But no, they waste money and still loot, award contracts to their friends and still use poor material to deliver it and still wont finish it. These are the issues baba

vanitybutiwanti:
And you have no idea about the kind of problems the people you call corrupt solve. They pay house rents, hospital bills, school fees, and do all other forms of charity. If you have ever been close to one, you will understand better. Nigeria has a money problem.and for you to sustain your base, you have to induce people at the grassroot. Imagine going to the grassroot to curry support in your fancy government car when you only did road and probably built hospitals without lining the pockets of traditional rulers and strong men in the grassroot? Jokes on you. If the ' corrupt ' officials were to subsist on their salaries alone, they wouldn't solve problems and it's no fault of theirs because the average Nigerian is unintelligent and poor.

Here u mentioned the cause: "no fault of theirs because the average Nigerian is unintelligent and poor"

So, the govt took our resources, take our tax, we gave them all that for in return to be provided with quality education, better standard of living, but they took all that to be living large, buying estates in Egypt, france, UK, Dubai, etc, which rendered most of the people poor.
If u had invested in quality education that give people competitiveness in global market, they would have made money for them selves. but no, politicians chose to invest in rubbish such as building churches, mosques, imagine using 1.5billion to coduct wedding, giving out 1billion to church for evagelism on drug when u have drug enforcement unit.
But ur politicians are spending 15billion on 39 SUV, has mouth watering packages, corner public projects to their friends, and u open ur mouth and say, it is not their fault? Who made them unintelligent?
The politicians made them unintelligent by intentionally destroying quality education. It is deliberate. They know that uninformed people can be bought. For instance, u cant buy me. Like no way, wetin u wnt to give me or do for me? But a poor person can easily be bought, so poverty is a tool, religion is a tool and all of these are deliberate by the politicians. They were hired to fix these things but no, one politician go get 500 units of estate houses in one country, other countries still dey... They have properties by themselves or proxies in South Africa, egypt, Nigeria, London, France, UAE, guy, forget talk, politcians here are evil.

vanitybutiwanti:
Are the masses themselves not corrupt? Masses are more corrupt than the politicians and most of them make noise because they are not on the table.

Okay, whose duty is it to fix the corruption? the problem is that most of u dont even understand the idea behind democracy.. when a soecity is bad, the core duty of goverment is to fix it.. fixing corruption is part of core duties of govt, but here, govt enables corruption. So, u are simply saying the country is dead, no hope!

BATified2023:
I am proud of it.

U ain't proud of it cos u lost out, u people rigged in the south east n u believe it's fair but u cry foul in other places where u can't rig

So, u are proud of rigging? Bro, I am not, pls, we arent same.
I am a global talent, building complex systems for companies, I am a reputable person. I do not believe in rigging. I want a fair system for all.
So, even with all the riggings, why did presidential result suddenly develop glitch? As an engineer, what is glitch and can they tell us exactly the glitch? Or u are proud of such system? if u are, then shame on u baba.
Go get a life and I hope politicians pay u. Well, for me, they dont, none can, I am a living lord of my own life and destiny and that is why I dont support rubbish. I will support a Nigeria where elections are free in all regions. So, that anyone who is competent can win. Not one where INEC can wake up at mid night and tell us glitch. Then tomorrow, una go dey drag with SA that u are better when u cant even compete with ordinary Namibia in terms of public service deliver.
One US who visited Benin republic and Nigeria has come out to lament how Benin republic has more efficient public service than Nigeria. Unfortunately, people like u are here defending rubbish. See giant of Africa, what have they achieved with the rigging?
Electricity zero,
water zero
U dig bore hole, u buy solar, u buy fuel for gen, u struggle for everything, brooooo, that is not life, that is surviving. I dont blame u, probably never tasted a good life before.

yemmit90:
The category of people leaving Nigeria now are probably better than you in life. Do you think it is that easy to raise or save over 30 millions naira for relocation?

I don't blame your likes, I blame some Nigerians who are never contented with their lives despite living comfortably in their country.

A country where those whith 30m are not up to 2 percent is a completely shithole..
Do u know how much those abroad send to Nigeria that helps stabilize ur naira? Omo, without them, bro, ur naira would be hitting 2500 per dollar. Nigeria is extremely a poor country and dangerous country.
If u remove politicians, remove drug lords, remove ritual and organ harvesters, scammers, the country is practically broke. Those earning well outside the above listed are not up to 1.5 percent of the population.
Dont take my words for it, your data recently confirmed, to find Nigerians with 500k and above in their account or asset is not up to 4% of the population.

BATified2023:
chinedu u said more than this in 2023

Rest abeg

Are u proud of Elections in Nigeria ?
Election where electronic transmition of result fialed only for presidential election with glitch as the excuse till date is a shameful election. Even u know that naija na disgrace. Baba, forget tribal and nairaland bashing, if u and I meet, u and I know sey we go laugh naija as a failed country. Even u know it
Make we no lie to our selves.

The thing is Nigerians live in denial. Hahahaha, the post is about self awakening. In a functioning country, the presidents and public leaders use the country's facilities for healthcare. Some of u dont know how ugly it is for our politicians to be traveling out for medicals. It is like German politicians coming to nigeria for medicals. But Nigerians are used to suffering, bad leadership, so it is normal for us already.
SA is telling u that shame on u all, for such a lousy, noisy country called Nigeria with lots of oil weealth, and vital earth resources but does not have proper healthcare system that can match global standard, it is why our presidents keep wasting tax payers money in Europe. Buhari burnt our money in UK, this one don start now, the list goes on and on. Wasting tax payers money.
From electricity, to education, to healthcare, to football league, SA beat us in everything. It is a shame, make we dey calm down, we failed as a country.
Nigerian league be like 1890 league
Abeg, forget hatred, SA no be our mate. The worse part is that someone will come here now, lie to them selves, some will say, Nigeria is too big. Who forced u to be too big? lol

BATified2023:
everyone already knows those miscreants for who they are

let me tell u this: Tinubu does not really have organic followers outside south west. So, his only chances of winning is via the governos of those states to help do dirty jobs.
Like Tinubu no popular for a state like Benue, Akwa Ibom, Delta, etc. He is quite popular among south western states. But bro is weak in other regions. this is why i call him an elitist. if those governors turn their back, omo, he wont win even one state outside south west.

Richtaiwo:
1 October is Nigeria’s Independence Day, officially designated a public holiday for national celebration. Whatever name you choose to dress it up in, today should be reserved for national observance not deliberately hijacked for unrelated streets processions when countless other days are available.

You already know such a procession will not be permitted, yet you deliberately stage it, provoke a government response and then parade yourselves as victims of oppression. Please spare us the theatrics, the law is not governed by emotional blackmail, no matter how loudly the outrage is performed.

Which Nigerian law forbid such match? I want to see it.
When u guys write this rubbish, do u really sit back and read it again? Why not tell us all not to work as private businesses becus it is independence day? In many unstable countries, they even stage massive protests on such a day. Una no dey shame for this country like this?

Arostar2023:
Bayelsa, Delta and Akwa Ibom states prove that the availability of more money to politicians doesn’t automatically translate into prosperity and development for the people.

Because the system has not taken fight against corruption seriously.
What they do at that top is simple paddy paddy.
So, it is like, I won't probe U as long as U don't tell people to vote against me or speak against me. The ruling class dey share national cake. Nigeria is seen as their property to loot. The are already extending it to their kids. And that is why U can never hear them make corruption a capital offence . Only the masses can demand for that via chaos

psalmsjob:
Small yansh dey shake your reasoning capacity of 1.00mb is too small and shallow for me to engage with you and all the others like you on this topic....get extra gigabit or borrow ssd that's call una whatsapp admin then come back

Look at this one, lol, u cant stand near me in real world baba, go get a life.
Making excuse because your country is large makes no sense because there are far bigger and developed countries.
Also, if u cant manage the size, why not split it? It is like staying big and saying, oh, we arent developed because we are big, but we cant split. Lol

psalmsjob:
Benin Republic as country is not bigger than lagos and the population is not up to lagos so on what basis is the comparison?

But trust people who hate their country to jump on this and celebrate it whereas they are the problem of Nigeria, the fill the country with their negative energy and still ask why is the country backward....just imagine people supporting a failue like Peter Obi to be president of Nigeria in this time and age no be juju be dat?

But did anyone force u to be large? Didnt one section wanted to quit Nigeria, Nigeria ganged up to fight her and force her to remain? So, what has stopped u from fixing ur over size problem since that is the issue?

Seunfretty:
Any small thing...the pitch is bad...yeyeye....the Uyo wey una dey carry other teams go good?...una no dey bury una heads in shame with your eyes team.....still playing a almost 40 year old onyeka and ndidi in midfield...if you wont go to grounds and fight to get a win ...you have no business in afcon...this is African football and one of wat it comes with for now is bad pitch..so swallow it the way it is ..their are nations in South America with poor pitch to and brazil or Argentina still go there to get points ....after almost 10years una still dey play a moses simon that cannot cross the ball to save his life into super eagles....make all of them getat

Funny enough,the pitch allowed free run of ball which is good. Just not grassy. But U can run with ball wella.

SmartPolician:
Believe it or not, Nigeria isn't destined for greatness! This country is too disjointed, ignorant and tribalist to work as one unit. This explains why we produce these kinds of inept leaders over 2 decades later.

Nigeria knows her problem, they just don't want to attend to it. Nigeria was built on lies. If is ethnic win it all match. Very useless and disgrace of a country.
