Lithiumite:
And PDP for 16

Exactly, what u cant fix in 12 years, omo, u still cant fix it be that.

Lithiumite:
Despite your age you believe all this pretenders can change Nigeria in 3 years.

So, Buhari is not from APC? He needed how mnay years to change Nigeria?
How many years did u people wait before throwing GEJ out?
For ur information o, APC has ruled for almost 12 years now

God1000:
Politicians will just sit down somewhere in their comfort zone and be sending innocent men and women to fight in their needless wars

I want to see netanyahu's children at the war front this time

.
I think the masses need to start a movement over this.

bigpicture001:
It's about Peter Obi and the general election.. Obi's main campaign funds came from remitances from diapora Nigerians

they should use crypto and they will still run it. It is quite easy to defeat Tinubu, there are competent strategies that can defeat him. Infact, it is super easy to do so because he has performed badly. ADC just need to have bad ass strategic team. Prepare a blueprint, raise mad capital even publicly, secretly.

Safyqueen:
How will the country divide? Along which line?
What will be the fate of minority Christians in the north?
US are parasite, they will initiate the cracks/violence, settle in-between the menace/resulting chaos, kills from both sides, pretending to be working for the weak centre president for one nation while taking our mineral resources and oil in daylight robbery.
Libya saga will just be child play.

Nigeria is worse than Libya. If Nigerians cant break up like matured adults, then that is our own problem. No be US told us not to tell our selves the truth. How will they break up? Simple, ethnic line and any tribe can form country with any tribe or stand on their own. No be big deal.

jogojogo:
So the break up will stop when the country is splitter. I see how they have been able to stop the killings in US

Hahahahaa, at least Americans dont suffer like Most Nigerians. We are talking about a country with such extreme poverty, no electricity, no water, terrible bad roads, even network is wacky, guy, abeg, this useless union created by UK has failed experiment for over 100 years. It can never work.

HacheNoire:
I knew they will spring up another propaganda after the announcement of Naira for crude!

No be praganda, are Nigerians dying or not? Oga, do u know the rate average Nigerians get kidnapped, r#ped and slaughtered? Kwara is now a death sentence, which state is next?
Why una love this country like this?
omo, make una fear satan na.
Let this country break up and allow the core citizens, not politicians, decide which region they want to follow abeg.

And the foolish country called Nigeria wants to tax citizens like UK is doing, even with all her resources. But this same useless country has some of the richest politicians on earth. Like u can be stupidly rich by being a local govt chairman.
That money Nigerians worked hard abroad and send back home, u will feed a lot of people who depend on u. That is why their useless tax threshhold is a joke to me. Imagine a threshold of 800k per year as tax threshold. Is that Yoruba man who did this tax mad? Like is he mad? Threshold should be 50m per year. U earning 30m per year, u cant even live comfortable life. The problems u will be solving and that of ur family will swallow the entire money except u are ready to live low life just to pay politicians. That we accepted that tax is the biggest mistake and cowardice of this country. Like we work for politicians to ball and their families. All we do is complain online. F4cking cowards like us. These men just dey enjoy our natural resource and tax sweat. Damn!

MarketDispatch:
If you say Ghana, I will say I can verify. I witnessed lots of foreigners arriving Ghana for Tourism the last time I visited..

When you mention Nigeria, I asked a similar question earlier on when ishowspeed visited that what can a 21 year old come to see in Nigeria in terms of Tourism. That matter is still open for discussion

Tourism is giving that country serious boost. I know many who visited, returned and stayed in the country. Like I know many who did that. Nothing beats stability. We could drive in Ghana around 2Am in the night, road is free, relatively good and safe. Infact, Ghana is safer than America. Americans on tour confirmed that.

MarketDispatch:
What was the hell they saw that made them cancel Nigeria from their list. Do you wish to elaborate?

They battled with poor internet service, then battled with terrible power supply, chaotic transportation system, chaotic cities, extreme begging culture, no proper tourism sites, nothing to see for the forigners, roads are so bad. As we speak, just two years ago, that company had over 190 African americans on tour of ghana in December alone. Tour of Egypt dey gather huge numbers. The owner of the company told me, Morocco is well advanced than almost all african countries. In the west africa, he said Ghana is more stable, advanced and friendly to live in. Nigeria is the worse and they removed Nigeria from their travel list. The current data of their tour is crazy, and these tours bring in money for these countries. Ghana is hot now, the rate of forigners moving there is alarming. It is due to stability and electricity. A lot of hotels in Ghana dont have generator. Hope u know what that means? That is super trust on their power sector. Same as Morocco. They also tour Namibia, that country has some of the best roads in the world Their road network even beat roads in many European countries
Govt respect citizens a lot. If I am to raise a family, I will love to do that in Namiba, peaceful, cordinated, simple life, neat cities, amazing roads with no pot holes. Me that love to drive sport looking cars. Omo, we dey suffer for Nigeria. We are just noisy and we have no plans of fixing population that is largely uneducated.

esnbrutality:
Alot of IRAN ayatollah supporters are truly shortsighted..

Israel just gave UN a heads up. If UN keeps mute Israel will also retaliate so that the IRANIAN regime will understand.

We wont entertain the children
The women
The hospitals
Tye schools

Propaganda..

Why is it that the same people that are against IRAN are quiet when Fulani herdsmen (brothers of Ayatollah) are killing their people senselessly.

This is truly unprecedented.

But Israel already did. They killed over 150 school girls. Lol, so it is not new. It is Iran that is retaliating. For me, US should not intefere, let Israel and Iran fight it out once and for all.

MarketDispatch:
Interesting...where does Nigeria fit on the index?

I really dont know if Most Nigerians dont know that many African countries are way way ahead of us. I work with an American tour company for 5 years now as software developer, I have data of inflow of tourists into these countries and how they tried Nigeria and saw hell, cancelled Nigeria from their list. Nigeria is actuallly extremely udner developed. Forget our individual hustling spirit coupled with extreme fraud and extreme corruption, we are just noisy. These countries listed are ahead of us in quality of life. Namibia is bae baba.

lawani:
You forget as Igbos have what they indulge in, Yorubas also have and they go about the country to ply their trade. Hausas also have. Therefore the average Nigerian city will contain more Hausa and more Yoruba than Igbo. For example there is no Northern university where Yoruba do not massively outnumber Igbos. This will also be true for high schools and primary schools

Are u kidding me right now? Guy, abeg, u dey make me laugh. Bro, yorubas are less travelers in Nigeria abeg. Forget all these ur talks here.
Highest traveling ethnic groups in Nigeria: Igbos and Hausas.
And like I said, Igbos dominate in two major regions, hope u know that? South South and South east and have significant numbers in other regions. Like I said, it is mainly because of the war igbos lost, their lack of interests in voting, that is confusing u o. Those guys are major in two major regions in Nigeria o.

lawani:
In Osun here, non Yoruba are less than five percent. They are like three percent and I have met someone from Nassarawa, another from Cross River, Igala, Igede, Hausas and Igbos. There are states in Yoruba land with many Ebira because they border Kogi state. There is no way towns like Suleja, Bida and Minna will not have three times more Yoruba than Igbo. So it is a wrong claim to make that Igbos are always second highest in all states. They will be second highest in some states no doubt

I said in most of the states baba. There are countless states in Nigeria that u will rarely see yorubas sef.. So, this is not even an argument, everyone knows this. So, chill.

lawani:
Igbos actually are not the highest in number of non indigenes in all states. It depends on the state in question. Go to any central market in Yoruba land and it is filled with Hausa selling foodstuffs and their other wares. In Yoruba land, Hausa and Igbo population will be close and I think Hausa is more. In any case, non indigenes in any state don't have significant population. Their total will be less than five percent. In Osun here, non Yoruba are less than three percent of the population

nah, hausas are always second non indigenes o. Igbos are everywhere in extreme high number. The major problem is that most Igbos actually dont like to vote. Those 5 percent, 4 percent, when they sum them up in every state, u cna imagine what that is..
Now, they compete very well in over 20 states in Nigeria, then dominate completely in south south and south east. That is a massive number. Those guys are big. Igbos are actually too much. What decieved many is the boundary demarcations o. Igbos full Kongi, Benue, Calabar, Rivers, etc. So,Well, they lost a war which affected all these stuff. But on a norm, igbos most likely the most populated indegenes in Nigeria o. These guys full every state. U don even enter Akwa Ibom? lol, these guys creep in everywhere even outside Nigeria, they are too much in many countries, even countries u cant imagine.

Living comfortable means the following:

Access to unlimited and stable internet
Access to water
Access to quality healthcare
Access to healthy meals (this cost a lot o)
If u have kids (how many kids)
Where u live (two to three bedrooms now are mostly 1.5m to 4m per year in most of main cities) and even more
Access to 24/7 electricity
Access to car (one or two)
Access to one vacation once per year (locally or internally)

U deserve all these and more as a citizen of an oil, gas, abundant water, abundant lands, lithium, gold, silver, etc country.
To live comfortably means to have acces to the listed above and more. U need 4m and above income per month to be able to live this and still save a little.
This is why their tax threshold is funny to me because I know what we earn and how that has been difficult. Their tax threshold should have been 50m yearly for income tax. Then above that should pay 5 percent.
hear the truth, if u earn less say 30m per year, u are in a poor country, so u surely will have older parents to care for, siblings, friends, spouse, etc. Most likely u will have one or two externer heads to look out for. My married sis is on my neck for help now as she and her husband have had terrible years financially. U see what I am saying? So, Tinubu is actually designed to ensure we live low quality life so we can fund their own high quality life.

lawani:
Better fight for disintegration. What is North? There are many ethnic groups in the North. In an ethnic voting, Igbo and Hausa Fulani alone don't have the numbers to determine how the election will go.
Yoruba and Hausa Fulani? Yes but not Igbo and Hausa Fulani.
As an onlooker, I am interested to see if a Fulani Igbo alliance can remove this Presidency and I think it is not possible but I hope Nigeria will breakup before then

Hahaha, u are funny. Igbos have the numbers, even more than yorubas. They are the second highest non indegines in every damn state in Nigeria aside the core indigenes. They are the highest in their region and south south.
No ethnic group comes close. Forget ur mumu census. The only problem is elections arent free and fair. So, non indegenes are intimidated and even systematic failure. u think those figures u see from INEC are real? hahahaha
Two things happen here: Most igbos stay out of voting, like they dont vote. Two, there are systematic rigging put in place such as frustrate them from obtaining voters card, delaying the process in their region, etc. But if it is numbers, omo, nothing comes close aside maybe northerners. Igbos are major non indigenes in all the 36 states and Abuja o. In south east and south south, they out number everyone else. How do u defeat such ethnic group based on numbers? Na only rigging and manipulation dey worry Nigeria.

I dont have my guy's babe number, we dont talk. I have no busienss with them. Every communication has to go thru my guy

nairalanda1:
Iran actually has issues with its power supply...corruption included.

That's part of why they want nuclear power...it would be a great help for electricity supply

Theirs is better than Nigeria. Iran is under saction for 40 years. If Nigeria is under sanction for 40 years, Nigeria would be dead.

Some countries are looking for gas o. We have it in excess, like in excess, gas in Anambra and Imo alone will serve this country. But look at us na. Even Iran has stable electricity than Nigeria.
Money that would have been used to do these things, politicians budget them for cars, allowances, and even the small ones they want to use, they loot most of them. Omo, this country is cursed.

Jokay07:
Lolz.
Sadam Huseain said the same thing

Iran is not Iraq. Same thing is happening to Russia. yes, u will kill them o but they will hang on ur neck. There is a reason all US past leaders never tried it. Iran is a complex society bro. These guys are the reason the entire world is now crying due to fuel. That country is very complex. They can pull the world into recession. Yes, u will bomb and bomb, the more u bomb, the more they come, Parsians are different breed bro..

Jokay07:
My theory is this.

That explosion might be an in-house job among the government officials in America.
I think US just want to look for one stupid excuses to lay Iran to waste.
We have seen it before, starting from the time of 9-11 event to the time of Sadam Huseain biological weapons.

We all know the game. Give dog a bad name so as to hang it.

My advice.
I know Iran doesn't have what it takes to strike Facilities in US mainland and at the same time,
I think Iran should thread with caution here.
That stupid Trump is looking for every opportunity to turn Iran to waste.

USA can not lay Iran to waste baba, Iran no be Iraq. Iran is extremely complex nation o. These guys have been under heavy sanction for over 40 years yet they build a society. If they place such sanction on Nigeria, baba, the entire country will die within 1 year

Controlling birth rate since independence would have made us have an even more heftier debt than we do...borrowing to take care of the elderly.


A lot of people love buying finished products, especially the whites (which is why there is no domestic television and computer manufacturing in the UK for example...everyone buys products mostly made in Asia), otherwise you are right.

They have other areas they produce stuff. We dont produce, we are extremely consuming. From the political elites. We lack STEM driven society. That is a huge problem

nairalanda1:
No, using our resources to make exportable goods should be our new oil.

We should have passed the stage of selling palm oil, cotton, cocoa and so forth.

lol, we couldnt pass that stage because we didnt invest in STEM focused education and we didnt control birth rate. So, it is already a disaster. The black man love buying finished products. We wasted our money purchasing white man's created products instead of turning our abundant resources into finished products. Only STEM focused course could have done that.

[quote author=AMINDA post=138849968]Ola, Tinubu will only return elected if he's the only candidate on the ballot. But time is a gentleman. We all know why the governors are decamping. Dauda Lawal told us himself weeks before he decamped. The big question is, are the people decamping?

"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.

I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.

, that man took away subsidy just to reward governors. Wow! And the masses suffer

SpencerForbes:
I knew it wouldn't be that easy. The officiating was a disaster, and the referee should have been disciplined for not stopping the match. It’s clear that African officiating still has a long way to go before it's ready for the global spotlight. This was a shameful performance.

Dey play, many terrible officiating from EPL alone that one particular referee was known

zoedew:
But the U.K. is a diverse entity. They have prospered. I agree the political class are largely wicked.

No, the UK is a nation built from agreement o. And each nation under UK is relatively independent. Like Scotland has it own national team, plays it own league, controls it own central bank, has it own identity, like it practically runs like a country. So, the Scotish dont need to contend with the English over who will lord over them. This has given each nation in the UK to operate and develop in their own way. This is what we need in Nigeria bro. Wiithout it no hope. Politicians deserve protest, but bro, u cant even protest in Nigeria, it will carry ethnic undertone and it will become a mess. The political class needed to be scared of the masses but in Nigeria, it is the masses that are afraid of the politicians and it is because the masses just cant unite, will they ever unite? No way, because of the ethnic difference. Like we are so different baba.
So, it is a lost battle.
Take the tax issue for instance, it wasnt supposed to stand. The govt already took away fuel susidy, there was no need for such aggressive tax, infact, they were to make the tax even softer for Nigerians at least until they fix major social isssues such as electricity. U have removed electricity subsidy, removed fuel subsidy, u still impose heavy tax on informal sector which is mainly sector made up of Nigerians who hustled from nothing, with no support from govt at anytime. Then u havent tackled corruption. So, u are giving governors more money, they love u for that. But the governors loot the money, u cant protest as a citizen. The cental govt cant come after the governors becus the central govt needs the governors to win states. So, it is a messy situation.
In idea situation, the tax was to be stopped until critical leakages are fixed so that Nigerian money will be used. Then again, Nigerians have no business with such heavy tax.
Now, imagine taxing 30 percent to company in a country that suffers from lack of job, under payment, arent u supposed to encourage companies to be established to create more jobs? pay the people well? So, if I have to pay 30 percent of my profit to u, what will make me create a compnay in a country where I struggle for electricity, water, security, bad roads, terrible healthcare. In a country where politicians openly shit on our faces and get away with it. Like guy, Nigerians even fix their local roads. I have paid and hired local boys to patch our roads countless times and u are imposing 30 percent profit tax on company and up to 25 percent on personal income as tax, and u still have to deal with various bank charges and levies, importation levie, VAT, omo, Nigeria has been designed to ensure that u dont rise. No wonder poverty is too much.
Like cant Nigerian leaders ask them selves questions? If u remove fruad money, remove politician corrupt money, how many people can even breathe in Nigeria if u remove these people? If maybe u remove remote workers, very few who were lucky to make it online, u remove the content creators who have made it, the forex traders, the percent of Nigerians who are doing well wont even be up to 3 percent. That is crazy bad figure and yet u get mind dey taxk company 30 percent aside other tax companies will pay o and dey tax people from the company 25 percent aside other tax they will pay o. And these people will sort out electricity, water, bad roads, security, crvazy housing crises, medicals, GUY, WTF is this?

GanagiBitrus:
Blame our porous system that allow massive looting without accountability or any punishment.

This is why I want to tag that useless man called tax man, who goes on TV to talk rubbish as if he doesn't know naija. These people have loot fuel subsidy money. They claimed they gave governors more money but governors can't be tried as long as they are puppets to president and the president controls EFCC. So, f&CK this bastTd country. It is a pity that these old men are stronger than us the younger ones when we out number them and can force them to make corruption a f&cling capital punishment like in China.

zoedew:
No pressure from the masses in Nigeria against bad governance. Instead the masses in Nigeria fight themselves.

That is exactly the major issue.. and it is due to what I stated above. It is human weakness. Humans are naturally selfish by default, so a Yoruba man will love yoruba person more before loving someone from another tribe. The leaders were supposed to structure the country in a way that this human limitation wont affect quality governance. The leaders rather took advantage of the limitation to wreck harvoc. They are exremely wicked.
How do u want a country to prosper in such setting?

GboyegaD:
While I support you 100 percent, the issue isn't the government but the governed. Read up post on here to see how those that should unite to fight bad governance fight against themselves for very foolish reasons. The probability of having a change is very asymptomatic to zero.

The problem is this... like I said, tribalism is a major issue here, the politicians are supposed to fix that but they are taking advantage of it. Look at Europeans, they established their countries along national lines. Meaning, more of same people with same historical background, culture, etc, form countries. Even the UK, the nations that make up the UK had to enter into agreement but even at that, the nations are extensively independent. Nigeria's problem since the days of the colonia master has been why merge people with varying national interests, culture, background, together? This has been the problem. Even the white men who did it knew it was a disaster but went ahead to do it before it saved them cost. The british created our problems. The problem I have with the leaders is that they know this ugly truth but fail to tackle it. If u sit with any of them at a bar, or at a closed environment, they will tell u this truth.
Let me break it down for u... no country has ever grown without pressure from the masses. Study Euorpeans: look at the French, the English, AMericans, etc. The people fought the ruling class hands down and forced them to make policies, change policies that shaped their countries. But since we have clashing national interests inspired by ugly tribalism which nothing anyone can do except we restructure our political system, the people cant revolt.
For instance, let say I am based outside my region, where I live, the govt make money off my VAT, and other taxes, right, the govt makes money from resources scattered around the country, but let say the local govt chairman there is not fixing roads, and it is affecting my car, I cant protest becus i am not from that region. Immediately I start to protest, the people of that region will tag me enemy and even plot to kill me.
Lagos is the center of attention in Nigeria, every country has one core city for commerce and center of attention; Egypt, it is Cairo, I can mention a lot of countries like this. So, whenever there is protest, it happens in those major cities and draw massive attention. But becus Nigeria is highly divided via tribal line, u cant stage protest in Lagos easily. Every tribe suspect the other in Nigeria. This has given the politicians free will to perform badly and nothing will happen.

As good leaders, they are supposed to fix this issue by changing our political system. But they cant because it will backfire at them. Nigeria has been proposed to run confederal system, true federalism, etc. Or run UK model with extensive independence for the regions. Allow communities decide where they want to be located at, etc. This will create sense of national interest and help these regions develop. This forced unity is only benefiting the ruling class.
Here the truth, Nigerians can never ever be united. This is natural factor in humans. As developed as Whites are, till date, they are still many racists in there. So, humans cant stop being humans. It is the duty of the elected rulers to take deliberate actions to limit the weakness of humans such as tribalism. It is their duty to fix electoral system.
Take for example, state police is so needed today in Nigeria, if we restructure our country, we can have such. We need this badly. But these leaders dont care because those getting kidnapped arent their family members. If an Hausa man protest today, Yoruba man will say he wants to remove their son from office. Dont forget Buhari was in power and his people went mute. This gave those appointed by Buhari to behave as acted as they wish with no consequencies.
