Wike, you are a human and nothing U can do. You are such a shameless human. Tell me one product U have built in life as a smart human? If not for a corrupt riden country like Nigeria, should be a farmer, wasting away in the village. Nigerians will resist U at all cost come 2027. Everyone has madness |
Nigeria tax agency should not ask me to explain o if I tell them that we spent 15m on fuel o. The way these guys waste our tax payers money and resources money. Very wicked humans. |
Kobojunkie:Do I blame them up north? I blame southern Nigeria for our corwardice. We dont have strong politicians anymore. They are all cowards. This mass wedding is one way. What if I tell u the other ways? Take for instance, mass wedding for adulst who cant afford wedding, then they are given 100k to start business. Most will remain poor, give birth in poverty and fail in raising the kids. The kids turn bandits and terorists tomorrow, govt budget heavy on security to fight these kids, people pay ransom to free their loved ones, in all of these, tax payers money keep going to them, state resources keep going to them. So, what has stopped southern Nigerians from seeing this? There are many other areas including NYSC, education cathment area, etc. Southern Nigerians remit a lot of money from abroad working hard, u rarely will find northerners abroad breaking records in aviation, engineeering, education, tech, science, etc. No, u cant, even in Nigeria, u rarely will find them. Practically almost all the tech startups that are big today are founded by southerners. So, why cant these guys up north compete in a merit driven, less government influenced area? U think they dont know what they are doing? The Mass wedding is a bait for more population, especially, poor population which is easier to control and help their rulers remain in power and profit from state resources. A state, Kebi just offered loan for religious trip, billions of naira. What does Kebi do to earn money? U see, if we dont end the act of FG sharing money, so that states can go and hustle and feed them selves, this rubbish wont stop. If a state hustled to make money from her state, she wont waste 1.5billion to fund mass wedding. She wont waste 3.5billion for religious trip. When u check almost all state indexes for growth, all the bottom states are from the north. These guys have ruled this country more than any one else. Infact, the south east was leveled down during war, systematically short-changed after losing the war, yet the region has surpassed a region that has produced 90% of our rulers and controled key sectors since after the civil war. It shows that it is a deliberate action. The more the people are poor, uneducated, religiously inclined, the easier to control them. The benefactors of this madness are the northern ruling class. Those who are paying for it are southern youths, we are paying with our sweat and blood. Our politicians have what it takes to defend us but because they have some benefits from the system, they wont act. Our resources and tax sweat are going. These guys wont protest over bad road, electricity, bad healthcare but will protest over Iran. Guy, I am so sick. U work so hard, night and day, cut down on ur family size by maybe birthing one or two kids in the south, stay with one woman.. just to save cost. But govt milks u via all types of taxes then share the money and the people up north will use part to reward a man to marry 3 wives and birth any number of kids, thereby putting more preasure on your own income, their kids grow up and become bandits who will kidnap ur own kids and u will pay ransom. Damn! My generation must stop this madness since our parents failed. |
osuofia2:I have been writing post about that mass wedding, bro, my tax, my sweat, my state resources revenue are part of that money. I am pained. Yet, this country says, she is not taxing us enough. They keep wasting our money, our sweat and our resources. This land is cursed! |
DeltaBachelor:lol, it snow do fall in northern africa o, check out Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia |
nairalanda1:so, going with ur judgement, we should keep looting away because what they are looting is not enough for fixing our problem? hahaahaahahaahahahaahahahaahhahaahhaa, see black man mentality. A drop of water gradually can make a full bucket. Fix corruption, fix wastage, channel the moeny into productive ventures and over 20 years, Nigeria will be fine. Stop this excuses baba. It is shameful for ur age. |
Kdon2:I am talking about Nigeria generally, oga. So, calm down, okay. I am talking about Nigeria's electricity. U were asking if others are experiencing same, right? I gave my view about Nigeria and this type of stuff. It is not general, it has always been like this in Nigeria. So, pls take a chill pill, because I dont understand the argument here. |
nairalanda1:The cost of funding luxury life style can be used to fix electricity baba. A poor country has no business funding life style of politicians. Stop running away from the truth. The truth is that Nigerian politicians are wasteful. Everyone knows that and they steal a lot. The money from there can subsdize electricity and fix many core issues such as fixing education and ending importing items that we can build locally. Kiss the truth. |
nairalanda1:They needed internet services as well, so they cant block it. Insecurity does not affect politicians, they are heavily protected, send their kids abroad, so they arent heavily hit. Nigerian politicians are among the richest on earth, are u kidding me? Reports published one time stated how politicians in Africa, Nigeria included have some of the most expensive estates in Nigeria. Do u know how rich ordinary local govt chairman is in Nigeria? Do u know how Nigerian politicians waste money? Creating unproductive agencies as a means to reward loyalties. Budging padding, inflatrated prices. Now, lets use the 39 SUV as a case study. Like, SUV designed for so called almost 800billion empowerment scheme. Meaning it would be for mobility for these schemes, right? So, tell me why should a poor country that claimed to be poor, a country that borrows to fund budget, spend 15billion on SUV? That means they went for luxury SUV. Pls, if I tell u that I am poor or my company is poor but my company buys me as a director 100m worth of car, u as a tax official, wont u fight me? Are we mad in this country? I am not one of those ships in this country, I am highly exposed and read and hustled my life, so I dont ass lick politicians and I dont need them, so I will alway say the truth and reality. As a poor country that borrows to fund budget, u dont need luxury SUV for such movement. Leave such luxury for rich countries like UAE, Quatar, etc. So, what stopped the polician agents from using Lexus 205 model, Tokumbo sold for less than 30m or there about? More than 95% of Nigerians cant even afford a car of 30m legitimately, so if our govt officians use that for empowerment mobility, that is very kind of tax payers then. Why cant they buy SUV from home made car plants here for less than 40m per one? That will save us a lot of money and channel such money into education to produce STEM driven citizens who can fix our local problems. One of the reasons electricity is expensive to fix is because we import practically everything we need. What stops us from entering a programme plan for 5 years to produce graduates who can produce 70% of what we need to fix our local problems by investing in researches, modernizing our educational systems? What stops us from taking money used to fund the luxury life style of politciains and fix healthcare to attract lot of foreigners into Nigeria, thereby boosting our currency strength? What stops us from investing in tourism and attract lots of visitors? What stops us from investing in our local football leagues to create lots of jobs, attract foreigners, etc boosting employment, currency strength and massive economy? We rather spend the money funding politicians. Now, example 2, Kano spent 1m dollars, over 1.5 billion for mass wedding. A poor country that has healthcare crises, has electricity crises, has insecurity, massive umployment, massive education weakness, etc, is spending 1.5billion for mass wedding. Are u seeing the problems? Kiss the truth. |
Kdon2:What are u saying? I simply explained to u that what you are experiencing is nothing new. Over the years, Nigeria has always been like this. Some areas may have better supply, while most wont. In that your state, go and check, over 80% dont enjoy stable supply. That is the point. There is nothing new here. It is the turn of your area, enjoy it. It wont last for years. And pls, I dont live in Ghetto area. |
nairalanda1:So, because the cost is high, we should continue to fund politicians luxury? Like buy 39 SUV for 15 billion? I want u to really tell me what u mean. Do u know how much has been stolen so far can fix electricity? So, who has been persecuted? Where is the money? Is there any effort to fix and tackle and block corruption? So, president can spend 17billion on Aso Rock Solar but we should understand that we cant fix national electricity becus it is costly? So, u dont know that if u spend 1billion naira inside 10billion dollars, u have at least cut down the cost by certain percentage. The reason they dont tackle these things is not money, Nigeria has money, Nigeria has trillions from NNPC alone. Nigeria has resources that can fund and fix electricity. Yes, just one or two of our resources can fix electricity. The reason no one is ready to fix it is simple: Keep them in darkness, they cant be productive. When they arent productive, they worship us becus they are hungry and we can give them one cup of rice to buy their votes. Have u also wondered why education is not fixed? lol, quality education will make the citizens librated and know their left and right, govt doesnt want that and politicians dont need ur national electriicty, or education or healthcare, they rarely use ur roads, so they dont give a fly about u. Let me tell u something, people like u should stop this rubbish of making useless excuses for Nigerian politicians. I am interesed in any politician who has prioritized cutting cost, streamlining govt operations, tackling corruption and wastage, paying attention to electricity, healthcare and education. If we have sound education, we dont need to import forigners to fix our electricity.. Anyone who has such priority is my top candidate. |
Kdon2:Pls it is ur area and it has always been like that in Nigeria since I was a child. Nigeria has never solved her electricity problem. In every state, there are areas that may enjoy better supply and they are usually less in number. In my place now, we get maybe 5 hours per week. And it comes once per week. Until Nigeria fixes electricity, we are just noise makers. They can buy luxury SUV for 15 billion and have 1million dollars for mass wedding but have no money to fix electricity. It is a big fraudulent country and I hate it with passion. |
Mandem05:yes, we are very very selfish... This is why I dont join the black lives matter movement. We are incredibly wicked. What pains me the most is that I work so hard, have little support from govt, but gobt takes my state resources, take my tax and waste it on luxury SUV, mass wedding. The mass wedding had political tone under it as the participants wore certain political party caps and wear. Money that came from all Nigerians now looked like a political party candidate gave them. I think blacks were designed poorly. Damn! |
When the Nigerian government tells you it lacks money, it is a big lie. Nigeria's problem is not a lack of money. Nigeria's problem is waste, corruption, and terrible priorities. The Kano mass wedding financed by the Kano State Government is a perfect example. One of the biggest problems we have in Nigeria is that we like to think we are smart. The truth is that many Nigerians do not ask the right questions. Tell me why a country that claims to be poor, a country drowning in debt, would commit ₦1.5 billion to finance weddings. This is the kind of thing countries do after they have solved most of their major problems. Nigeria has not solved any major problem since independence. Electricity is still a problem. Water is still a problem. Healthcare is still a problem. Insecurity is everywhere. Roads are terrible. Public schools are collapsing. Youth unemployment remains extremely high. Yet we have money for mass weddings. According to reports: > "The Kano State Government financed the mass wedding initiative, committing over ₦1.5 billion ($1 million) under the administration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. The program was coordinated and implemented through the Kano State Hisbah Board." Source: https://dailytrust.com/why-kano-govt-spent-n1-5bn-on-mass-wedding-gov-yusuf/ How can a country facing these realities commit over $1 million to this type of project? And some of the beneficiaries are reportedly marrying second and third wives. So wait. I will hustle online. I will stay awake at night looking for clients. I will submit proposals. I will fight to win contracts. I will deliver services. I will build a life from scratch. Then after I finally earn some money, government starts taking a share of it from every direction. VAT. Bank charges. Stamp duties. Various levies. Income tax. More VAT on goods and services purchased with my already-taxed income. Then government shares this money among states, and a state government decides to spend part of it sponsoring weddings instead of investing in things that improve productivity, education, healthcare, infrastructure, or economic opportunity. And we are expected to applaud. We are not serious in this country. Now let us talk about the long-term consequences. Most of these marriages will produce children. Many of those children will grow up in households already struggling financially. Marriage is expensive. Raising children is expensive. Building a stable family requires planning, responsibility, and long-term preparation. It should not be treated as a state-sponsored project. Years later, government will budget billions more to fight insecurity, unemployment, social instability, and crime. Where will that money come from? From taxpayers. From natural resources. From borrowing. The cycle continues. This is a country where quality healthcare is unavailable to most citizens. This is a country where reliable electricity often requires spending millions on solar systems. This is a country where public primary and secondary schools are in a state of collapse. Yet government keeps finding money for questionable priorities. I recently checked how much VAT alone has been taken directly from my earnings over the years, and I was shocked. Stop this madness. The other day, government budgeted over ₦15 billion for 39 SUVs. These people waste money. Then they borrow money. Then they tell citizens they need to pay more tax because government revenue is low. Nigeria does not have a revenue problem. Nigeria has a spending problem. If I tell you I am broke and then go and buy a ₦100 million car, wouldn't you think something is wrong with me? That is exactly what Nigeria is doing. We claim to be poor, yet we fund luxury. We claim to be struggling, yet we refuse to cut waste. We claim to lack money, yet we spend recklessly. Now let me address something many people are afraid to discuss. A growing number of Southerners believe the current structure of Nigeria is fundamentally unfair. Southern Nigeria contributes significantly through oil and gas resources, taxes, ports, commerce, and diaspora remittances. Yet many Southerners look at how public money is spent across the country and ask a simple question: What exactly are we getting in return? The issue is not North versus South. The issue is accountability. The issue is priorities. The issue is whether public money is being invested in the future or spent on politics. At a time when the world is investing heavily in technology, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, robotics, scientific research, and industrial development, some Nigerian leaders are spending billions on mass weddings. Think about that. Countries are competing to build the future. We are sponsoring weddings. Countries are building technology ecosystems. We are buying luxury SUVs. Countries are producing globally competitive industries. We are expanding government spending without demanding results. Many Southerners have reached the conclusion that the current revenue-sharing model encourages dependency rather than productivity. I increasingly believe Nigeria needs a serious conversation about fiscal federalism. States should be encouraged to generate more of their own revenue. States should compete economically. States should develop their own industries. States should become more responsible for their own development. A state that depends primarily on monthly allocations from Abuja has less incentive to build a productive economy than a state that must generate its own wealth. Today, some states appear content to wait for federal allocations every month while making little effort to build globally competitive industries. That model is not sustainable. The future belongs to innovation. The future belongs to technology. The future belongs to productivity. The future belongs to regions that create value, not regions that merely consume it. Nigeria is blessed with natural resources. Nigeria has abundant land. Nigeria has enormous water resources. Nigeria has tourism potential. Nigeria has agricultural potential. Nigeria has one of the largest populations in Africa. Yet we continue making decisions that suggest we are not serious about development. Enough is enough. We need a government that focuses on productivity rather than politics. We need investment in STEM education. We need investment in infrastructure. We need investment in healthcare. We need investment in research and innovation. We need leaders who understand that public money is not personal money. And we need citizens who are willing to demand better. Because if we continue down this path, future generations will pay the price for today's waste, corruption, and lack of vision. I am tired and hay, I honestly dislike Nigeria. I really wish Southern Nigerians can see beyond their constant fight and understand that they are trading the future of their generation for a region that does not care about future. Southerners dont know how much they are paying for Nigeria. ![]() |
Reference:bro, this country is sick! Imagine 1.5b naira was spent by Kano for mass wedding. And govt wants to tax me more. Part of that 1.5b is my money, my sweat from tax. I will be writing on something about this. This country is useless. |
This is how they waste my hard earned tax payers money, and claim they want more money. I f#cking hate nigeria |
Ruke1991:All of these boils down to failed country. Nigeria is a disaster. When I went to Ghana and saw banana, I wept. To find naturally ripe banana in Nigeria is hard. Everything is messed up and it is mainly due to poverty. People are suffering so they have to find ways to survive. And that is the only way. This is why I have said that no Nigerian presidential contestant is talking about key issues that will address Nigeria problem. They are population control. And U can't have population control with the current centralised political system. To achieve population control, we need decentralised or regional or UK based model. Nigeria is in deep mess. |
Will they hear? Nigeria problem is not more tax, I have said it over and over again, Nigeria's problem is wastage. Like govt just dey waste money. Imagine 15billion on 39 SUVs, for what na? Imagien coastal road project, for what na? Imagine useless agencies, for what na? Just to tax me more, why, why this wicked? |
I said it here that there was no need for that wasteful project. Na them know what they want to do with the money. I just hate govt sha, I have been working since morning non stop, only to pay them various tax and they will spend it as they like because they have soldiers and police guiding them. U have previous high ways, fix them. They are cheaper than such huge money spent on that useless project. But as usual, people will come for ur head. |
Walz001:The breed of politicians we have now are useless, all of them at national assembly. This is what we should be calling for in order to save lives. But no, they care about SUVs since they will be protected. I can never ever die for Nigeria. Not in this world. Like I will rather take my own life than fight for Nigeria. The politicians dont give a f$ck about the country, they care about SUV |
MEGAWATCH:Southerners need to unit for real, but I doubt. Maybe Nigeria was destined to be subdued |
MEGAWATCH:well, the real winners in that war were the fulanis. They are smaller in size, but used Yorubas, Hausas, middle belt and some south south people to fight. And they arent done yet, that is why u see what is happening in the north, middle belt, south west, south south and east by them. |
christistruth01:Ojukwu never wanted Yoruba land. Ojuwku never declared war. Infact, Nigeria declared war at him and started invading his territary, he faught back to push them back. He knew from then that Nigeria wont wor. Well, Nigeria has not worked, it is a failed entity no wonder fulanis are on rampage slaughtering southerners and middle belt anyhow. |
MEGAWATCH:Well, the Biafran war was actually and indirect defeat of southern Nigeria by northern Nigeria. This is one coded reality most don't know. I will tell U why if U ask |
Oshin56:why should they respect order to shoot people fighting for their own betterment? In Egypt, when Citizens protested against useless politicians, the militatary said they will remain neutral and didnt obey the order to shoot at protesters. Sometimes I wonder if humans have sense at all. |
crestedaguiyi:But wait o, what did the Bishop say that is a lie? Insecurity? Hunger? bro, our purchasing power has dropped drastically. Abi my eyes dey pain me? The value of 20m last year not same anymore and u will spend heavily to live the quality of life u had just two years ago. It is bloody now. Like bro, Nigerians became poorer. The so called policies should have come slowly. Only u removed fuel subsidy, float naira, introduced broader tax, only u. Then u didnt curb corruption and waste, so hunger and insecurity skyrocketed |
U cant build a united nation with Nigeria. Understand this ugly reality. The three major ethnic groups fear one another, suspect one another, and each one wants to dominate and supress the other. So, tell me why there wil be nation building? Even the UK who formed this unholy union didnt do so for their own United Kingdom o. Theirs is very liberal where each nation even has nation at the world cup, extensive independence and identity. But Nigeria has vowed to remain united, fake unity. Black man can never tell them selves truth. I always wonder why south west is not even pushing for break up or exentive indendepence within Nigeria sef, the truth is that south west will do way better than all the other regions if Nigeria practices true federalism, confederation/regionalism, or complete break up. Funny thing is that Ojukwu proposed for Confederation then o. This una unity no go work. The country will still be terrible in the next 50 years and may break into serious and complicated ethnic crises due to what is happening now. I dont know why black people cant use their brain and fix small issue. This issue is small and obvious. No relationship can work if parties involved suspect one another, fights for domination, etc. Infact Nigeria was designed to fail: After battling ethnic domination and tribalism, we are faced to battle religion. How can two opposing religion be merged in one country and practise unitary system? How na? Like how na? Two different ideologies forced into one, chaiii, E no go better for UK ooo |
terrezo2002:I learnt that Miracle leaf is good too |
Is it the leaf they call Miracle leaf? |
BrickandLace:The people are hungry bro. See politics in Nigeria is very wicked. It is more wicked than colonial system was. |
helinues:There is no justification for buying such expensive SUV for a poor country that claimed to be short of cash. Pls make it make sense. if i declare company revenue and claim to be poor and struggling but the company donated car worth 100m to director, wont tax officials fight me? No reason, no justification for such huge sum for 39 SUVs.... Nigerian politicians can use Tokumbo SUV worth 20m, they wont die. When u are poor and borrowing, u cut ur coat according to ur size. U cant be expanding tax net and still be spending like you are a rich country. |
helinues:The link to the article is there.. Punch analysed it better. |
