And where was Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, China, Dubai etc all those years Nigeria was so called giant

Look at where those countries are today

You are just giving very lame but excuse


Nigeria is like a child that refused to never grow up while his mates were toiling and working hard

Now coming up with I used to, which is total bunkum

The disrespect is just starting because Nigeria have still refused to grow up yet. Still giving lame excuses that I used to, while other nations are rapidly progressing and Bettering the lives of there citizens.
Did you even take your time to read my post very well before you start to attack & insult me? All you've just said above are the points I was driving at, we're on the same page, can you please go back and read the initial post well? If I happened to be the type that rain abuses before making my point, we will be exchanging words here, but I won't do that.

Guy, at least consult the Internet first before you start disgracing yourself.
When turkey was world power, Lord Lugar is yet to come to Nigeria. At least start with the ottoman empire.

Turkey is a member of G-20. I'm sure you don't know it. In few yrs time will manufacture its own nukes.

Even Kenya, Tanzania south africa etc are ahead of Nigeria as far as development is concerned. Maybe, if you see some duplexes some places you call that development. Nigeria has nothing, absolutely nothing. And the worst is most of the citizens don't know that.
Thank you Mr educator, I knew about ottoman empire right from my secondary school days, nobody is talking about when Turkey was formed, I am looking at things from the economic angle. Go check the facts well;

A fully functional television station (First monochrome TV broadcast on VHF band) started in Nigeria in 1️959, while Turkey attained the same feat in 1968.

In 1973, 2 naira was exchanged for 1£ (Great Britain Pound) and 1 naira exchanged for 0.5 US dollar. Around 1970 to 1975, Turkish Lira exchanged for 11.3 to 14.4 against 1 US dollar.

My point is simple, Nigeria was once a giant in terms of economy, had it been we were able to sustain the rapid development we started with, coupled with the mineral resources God endowed us with, Turkey will surely be a visa-free country for Nigerians. I don't blame any country for any action taken against Nigeria, we caused it.

Nigeria no longer has any dignity outside the continent, imagine Turkey no longer offer us visas on arrival,
who knows Turkey when Nigeria was Still blazing as a nation?
Where was Turkey when Nigeria had the first television station?
Who heard about Turkey when 1 Naira was almost 1 pound?
Now see where we've found ourselves.

On a serious note, this Sule Lamido doesn't have the gut to make any mouth in PDP. Your political value has gotten eroded to almost 6% in your state, and you're coming out to mouthwash some1 whose relevance can not be underestimated at the state and national level. If this one has shame, he should just hide his face somewhere right now & continue feeding on the humble pie. What an ethnic bigot!

I still find it difficult to believe that a war in Europe is affecting economies in Africa.
African leaders should be ashamed.
It did not only affect Africa, other continents too were affected. Ukraine remains one of the highest grain-producing countries in the world,
while Russia is a major stakeholder in supply of gas across Europe, there's no way this war won't have an effect on the world's economy.

She will only remain in her father's house at 33 and above if she's not an asset, too selective, or just personal choice. Nothing wrong with being unmarried at 33, ok? Some people want a certain standard of living and there's nothing wrong with that.
There's nothing wrong with waiting till 33 years before getting married, but it doesn't work for most ladies like that. A lady who has a fast education and a big stature that makes her look far older than her age at 24 or 25 years won't be that lucky to have a man of his choice at 34 or 35. If a man earning 100k monthly is ready to go into marriage with such lady, will she still forego him because she wants a better man financially? If she misses it, she might not be that lucky again. The issue of marriage is deeper than what we think o. I don't dispute your point o, but one must weigh his or her options well before taking decisions. Things are not smiling out there, men are not ready to settle down due to the responsibilities involved, coupled with the situation of things right now.

Stop being unrealistic, your 92K can't do anything.

For example, I tell you I want to make my hair and I need 10-15k, would you count that as "ridiculous demands"?
No wonder many ladies still remain in their father's house @ age 33 & above. Men don suffer.
RomanceRe: Ladies In Relationship With Men Who Earn ₦100k And Below, Please How Do You Cope by Raph82(m): 5:52pm On Aug 21, 2022
Ladies will always look for who will deceive them. I don't understand, a man is earning 100k and you're pushing him to go double his hustle before u can settle with him,
Where's the hustle? Everywhere is dry right now, except you want the man to engage in criminal acts.
If ur fiancé is earning 100k right now, u better grab him tight & plan well with him, many husbands don't make 50k per month as we speak, yet they are living with their family.
The reality on ground now is that the 2 of u must join forces together to build things from the scratch, or else you'll stay for long in ur father's house.

Your choice man.
Stop confusing yourself and people with party. Peter obi just decamped from pdp with same pdp ideology, he was nobody and nomatch in pdp, you have just been manipulated that peter obi is in labour party with LP ideology.
Enough of confusing yourself and people, Nigeria's presidency is a winner takes it all, Buhari's performance is his responsibility not APC or every member of APC, enough of campaign of calumny. peter obi my foot.
Don't forget that every member of the party has the same ideology, and Tinubu never agrees that Buhari is a failure in government, so he is continuing where Buhari stops. How many of the evil policies brought about by this useless government has he come out to condemn? Nigerians know better bro, affliction shall not rise the second time.

A country that cannot boast of 24 hours electricity supply, how can electric cars and buses work in such country?

This is exactly why Nigeria needs peter Obi to reset this country and get it working again!

Nigerians have decided that it is Obi they want and together we can get it right this time around with PO. Vote wisely
The buses might be powered with solar energy as Maiduguri has more sunlight than other states in Nigeria. I'm just saying though, not sure about that.

AgricultureRe: 'USA Is An Agbado-Based Economy' - Seun Osewa by Raph82(m): 8:06am On Aug 15, 2022
Seun has made his point in an unclear manner. Of a truth, USA is a giant in corn production with millions of metric tons in export each year. At a point, big time poultry farmers here in Nigeria preferred to import corn from USA than to buy locally, meaning that US has been reaping in greatly from growing corn. Coming to Nigeria, can the government afford to buy like 20,000 tractors and 10,000 combined harvesters for local farmers?
Can the government subsidize the cost of fertilizers and other farm inputs for farmers by 50%?
Can the government sponsor full mechanized farming?
Trying to justify BAT's agbado & cassava statement by linking it with USA's advanced agricultural policies that support massive production of corn is one of the silliest stuffs to talk about. Put tribalism aside, in a saner clime, is BAT worthy of being a presidential aspirant? I'm a Yoruba man, but I don't allow tribal bigotry to becloud my sense of judgement when it comes to issues of national interest.
PoliticsRe: States Owing Salaries As At July 31, 2022 by Raph82(m): 11:07am On Aug 12, 2022
trutharena:
powerfulguy OP use this map asa better description.

What I don't understand is how the Northern governors are able to pay salary while their counterpart in the South are owing salaries. yet, Southerners always abuse the North as the decayed part of Nigeria.
Some of the northern states have lesser civil servants to pay on monthly basis, take for instance in the education sector, some local governments hardly have up to three secondary schools, while some states hardly have up to 3 tertiary institutions. Quranic schools and Almajiri system of education is what they value, so how many employees do they have to pay at the end of the month?

See the SE, three states are owing over 6month salary and yet the Igbos want to liberate Lagos from Sanwo-olu and Tinubu. They will be blaming Tinubu everyday and yet their governors are making their people poor and wretched in the East. I don't know what you mean by this statement, but I resonate with you on the poor performance of these SE governors. Nevertheless, your assertion on linking the SE governors' performance to Igbos liberating Lagos from the strong grip of BAT & Sanwo-olu is unneeded, because that's the wish of every right-minded Lagosian, irrespective of race or religion. People are tired.

Akeredolu is a disgrace. After Lagos, that state recieve the highest allocation in the SW and yet Akeredolu owing Salaries.
I concur with you on this 100%.

Heaven bless Oyetola, Osun wasn't on the list because he is not owing salaries, did not borrow as governor and yet Osun people voted him out for an Adeleke who got no plan or manifesto but just dancing, and they call it democracy. The people know why they rejected him. If you ask them, they will tell why they made the choice. I feel the same way you felt.

Nigeria is the more you look, the less you see.

Can we all just stop making this APC feel important and concentrate on how to bail Nigeria out? They've played their best card, people should look beyond them, by the way the party won't be the only one to be on the ballot paper. Why waste your precious brain cells worrying about a party that has nothing to offer Nigerians in the last 7 years than abject poverty and absolute destruction of our commonwealth?

I am a typical Yoruba man, but I can categorically tell you that this is one of the dumbest posts I've come across recently. Look beyond ethnic coloration and have a holistic assessment of the socio-economic makeup of the Nigerian states, no other state has the economic advantage Lagos has, and whatever anybody thinks Tinubu did in Lagos could be done even better by some of these governors if given the opportunity to rule a state with strong potential like Lagos.

From the above, none of these suggestions by the governors is addressing the issue of;

Bogus allowances by the senators, rep members, executives, governors, and the president

The expensive maintenance of the presidential aircraft and the wasteful spending on the president and his household annually.

Wasteful spending on unnecessary Personal assistants & aides to all political office holders.

Or is any of the suggestions addressing these issues?
