I just used him as an example. In 1995, Saro wiwa, who called for nothing other than justice...was murdered by the millitary. Note, the guy did not call for secession or anything close to that.



That means you don't want development. You don;t want better government. You just want the army in charge because your side did not win elections.
Face the truth.

Me, I can say that civillan rule is awful, and I am just as angry as you are. But army rule was worse in many ways you won;t like. At least I can blast government here on this site. It won't have been possible under army rule. If they could close down newspapers arbitrialy for anti-government sedition ie plain criticism of government, why not this site?

Work hard on your democracy. All those countries you admire....like UK, US, France...were all as backward and even corrupt (UP TO buying elections and suchforth) as Nigeria once upon a time. They worked hard and still work on their democracy...and that;s a big part of why they are developed.


So we should bring back army because the naira depreciated ....at a slower rate.? Okay..

If you want the Naira to stop depreciating, then stop believeing that 2m barrels of oil a day can sustain a nation of 200 million people...then we can talk.




Official market. Parallel market...it was N85=90. And it may have been higher. And the two tier system was brought in to facilitate round tripping and looting.

Also, our forex needs have balloned since the army left in part because of our growing population, and our need for more consumer electorinics, and imported fuel (thanks to army imposed subsides, we are importing fuel by the ton...because the subsides wrecked our refineries and added corruption and mess ). ...so the more forex we send out to import stuff...the worse our naira gets.

MNK is not speaking for the entire Nigeria but only himself and for the Igbo people, so don't use him as an example, because e nor follow road at all. And at the bolded bro, which one be my side didn't not win an election? Did I told you I have any body contesting for any political office in Nigeria? Or are you talking about my State or region? Because if u are talking about State, there have not been any serious person from my State who ever contested the presidential election. So why will I now be angry because someone from my State didn't win the president sit?

And if u are talking about region, Goodluck is from my region and he has won presidential election before. So which one is now I'm only angry because someone from my side didn't win an election?

And back to the topic, don't compare Nigeria to America, Uk or France at all. Because even if it was the military that has been governing those countries, they will still be what they are today because the citizens of those country be it military personnels or civilians were all ready right from day one to build their country and not because they have civilian government.

And u said I don't want development by saying that the military can continue with the government. Let me as u this question. All the years of military rule in Nigeria was just about 29yrs and most Nigerians then said that the military rule yielded nothing good for the country despite the development especially on the construction sections that we all see then. And now, the civilian government has rule Nigeria for straight 23 now without the military intervention, so what's now the difference between the military rule and the civilian government now?

Do you know the kind of serious work Gowon who was military president did then after the Nigeria civil war? Do you think Nigeria would have easily come up again if it was all this nonsense we are having now as government, that was in charge then?

Bro democracy is not design for Africans, because most Africans are greedy and are only after their own interests be it civilian or military.

Kasssandra:
Coups do not work, and do not solve the problems they are meant to solve.

Several months ago, Burkina had a coup, and most of you Nairalanders were saying that we should have the same in Nigeria.

Well, in 1966, we had a coup. January that year. By July we had another coup. By January 1970, millions of people who welcomed the new year in 1966 were dead. DEAD. For nothing.

In 1983, they came again. Told us that Shagari was wrecking the economy...yet in one year, we were queueing up for food. When they came in, naira was less than N2 to one dollar, by 1999, it was N90 to one dollar...if not higher.

And yet on Nairaland, I see kids...yes kids...who were lucky to be born when we had democracy...calling for coup because they are mad that Buhari won in 2015.

How about people like me that are mad that since 1999, we have not gotten a great democratic government.? People like me that have never voted for PDP, or Buhari, or any major party since 2003, when I cast my first vote? Because we saw the same old people in those parties?

Yet, I don't want coup. Coup always leads to more problems.

Anyone calling for coup does not know how hellish it was. MNK that most of you like...if it was millitary ruling now, he would have long since shot him, and passed a decree and backdated it to cover his legal ass. And if any biafra supporter comes out, they would be gunned down in high numbers and detained in high numbers than what we have now. Same for oodua, same for even Boko Haram. There would be no freedom to protest, newspapers would be closed down, and they will pay you bad salaries, and you will dare not go on strike because...you would be jailed for protesting.

And coup always leads to more coups and more coups and more coups.

Better continue with democracy. It is hard work...but it is better than army rule. Army rule did not solve our problems, it did not make us a better country, it even wrecked the army...which it has not yet recovered from, and gave us wounds that we are still recovering from till today.

Sorry, but democracy is better.

At the bolded, are you talking to the Igbo or the entire Nigerians?

Then back to the topic. Bro I don't see anything different between the military government and the civilian government. I rather prefer the military to be ruling us, so that we will know that it is goverment ruling us against our own wishes than for we to use our own hand to elect one nonsense fellow to be ruling us anyhow and will even go as far as using the police, military and the dss to oppress us.

You were able to highlight out some point like how the military government met dollar at about #2 and lef it in about #90, but u forgot to highlight the point where the nonsense civilian government of now who met it at #90 have now make it close to about #1000.

By the way, dollar was nothing closed to #90 when the civilian government took over power in 1999. Dollar was between the range of #20 to #25 when the nonsense civilian government took over power then. So u see how the civilian government have dragged us back within just the space of 23years?

Corridon:
Thank God Nigerians are doing their own through the ballot box in the name of Peter Obi.

And what's the guarantee that Peter Obi will be any different from the nonsense we have been having as government since 1999? After all Peter Obi once govern Anambra State and there was nothing special about his tenures as governor.

After all the talk talk and gragra wey buhari do to take enter government, see the kind nonsense the dumb terrorist do for a whole 8yrs now.

I support coup because it better for the military to take power and rule us than for we to use our hands to elect nonsensepower drunk civilians into power for them to be doing us anyhow and oppressing us with the nonsense police, the crazy military and the dumb dss that we have in Nigeria.

Has there been anything special about the Nigeria denocrazy since 1999? Both the federal, state and local government have all been power drunk and they always do what they like and goes scot-free with it, because they have the Nigeria arm forces in their pockets

MufasaLion:
Everybody likes comfort but many are lazy to work for the comfort. Comfort don't come to people, you work for it!

Oga let person hear word jor. Which kind laziness you dey talk about? Is it not this same Nigeria system that doesn't encourage hard work and humility, and you are saying people who are not living comfortable are not because they are lazy.

Was it the super eagles that beat Brazil and Argentina in Atlanta 1996?

Sweetplum:
He has an option. To either keep the child or return her. I stated it in my post. The reality here is most of you guys are saying he should annul the marriage as if you all v gotten him a wife that's perfect. And you men Tok dey get children out of wedlock o. Wey wife no go know. Now life has happened. We v to face reality and choose wisely

I nevered said he should cut of his marriage, I only said there is nothing left in that marriage anymore because I know that the man will have no regards for his wife again and he will feel that he can do anything he likes now, and the wife don't have anything right to question him. Because the woman knows what she was doing and she did it very well.

It is his choice to cut off the marriage or keep it, that is his own cup of tea. But one thing I know is that the woman nor get any shakara for body wey she wan do for her husband again for that marriage. And what is marriage wey u nor fit do small shakara for ur hubby? Anything little thing the woman doea now, the husband will always use it hard against her. Na she go even tire for the Marriage by herself

Sweetplum:
The father kwa.

See talk.... He should return the little baby to the father. Where on earth have you seen a little child been place under the care of the father when the mother is well alive? U are saying He should return the child to the father as if the woman is not the mother of the child, or she only picked the child from the father to help him take care of the child.

That aspect of ur comment "return the child to the father" sound somehow to me.

By the way, there is nothing left in that marriage anymore because u can see where the op stated it clearly that the wife started the problems they are now just because his sister scammed him.

How will a woman pick a fight with her husband only to go outside and get pregnant for another man? And I know this will not be her first time cheating.

It now seems clear to me that you Yoruba people have been the one spearheading this hatred between the Igbo and the northerners from day one.

Since as you guys feel that any Igbo person don't deserve to be the president of Nigeria, why then don't you guys let then go?

U Yorubas have been twisting all what Peter Obi, just because he is an Igbo man and to paint him bad in the eyes of the northerners

But one thing I know is that Tinubu is just a desperate fellow and he is going to end up just like Abiola.

Sweetplum:
Bad decision. Who ll take care of your other kids?
Broken home is one of the major causes of BD kids behaviour out there.
Return the child. Ask if she ll still be with you. Count your loss and appreciate the remaining.

Return the child to who?

This kind news for naija nor be new thing again na.

obembet:
I read about how Nairalanders Joetttimua1811manage just #500k for his wedding in 2020 which I really appreciate how he manage himself without own anybody.

Believe me, When it comes to celebrating the union of a man and woman, trust Nigerians not to hold back on providing the best food and drinks, renting a spacious hall, and indirectly telling a friend to say to another friend about the event.

While Nigerian weddings are mostly seen as an opportunity to celebrate with the couple and get free food, the truth is that they are financially demanding. It is in the sense that planning a wedding is not cheap.

With the economic setbacks being experienced in the country, we need to secure our financial future. So, in case you are hoping to one day stand at an altar wearing a suit or bridal gown, here is an insight on how to plan a wedding with a budget of 700,000 or even less.

So With a hypothetical guest list of 100 to 150 people including ( mogbo, moya ) kindly drop your breakdown budget of #700k include weeding attire and shoes for bride and groom, stationary and souvenirs, reception venues and decorations, food and drinks and miscellaneous.

Nairalanders, kindly help somebody with good calculations.

Source: obembet

What kind of wedding are you talking about? Is it just the Traditional, Church or Court wedding? Or the combination of all, the way the Nigeria Christians like doing? Which one?

GreatBoss:
Apart from the fact that Obi is structureless and all Governors, all politicians and all the millions of people that feed from their table through employments are declaring for either PDP or APC of which is their party including South East leaders.


How can Obi Lose Kano, (Kwankwanso, Ganduje and Shekarau place), Katsina, (Buhari) Kaduna, (El Rufai place) Lagos ( Tinubu main Strong hold) Sokoto ( Atiku Campaign Manager GovernorTambuwal place) and expect to win election.


Politics is discussion so people can talk about Obi and others. All Obi fans do is deceive themselves, insult themselves in the name of insulting people and other Obi fans like their lies to themselves.


Just any one of these states is far more than the whole South East votes combined and all South East politicians are still supporting their parties because all politicians are coming back or bringing people. Even if Some South people say they support Obi how can Obi win without winning these states i mentioned of which we all know he would lose.


Obi fans should stop deceiving themselves online and insulting people. It changes no reality. This reality still remains.


It is clear that the election is between PDP and APC. Emotions don't win elections.

Nigerians with hypocrisy. So u were able to brought out how Obi supporters goes about insulting people in ur write up, abi? But u couldn't brought out how Tinubu supporters has been playing the tribalism game against the Igbo people by calling anyone who is not supporting Tinubu an Igbo person?

This same Tinubu supporters kept on calling anyone who is supporting Peter Obi "obi-diots and ipob", and u couldn't highlight them out, abi?

Baba wey nor well, he dey shout emilokan....

Speak to Nigerians from where?

Everytime subsidy, subsidy. Same subsidy they once said was a scam

If some clowns that was protesting up and down in Ojota and other part of Nigeria have allow Goodluck Jonathan remove subsidy back then in 2012, we wouldn't have been in this mess we are now with this dumb dunce we have now as president. Fuel subsidy would have been removed long time ago and price of fuel wouldn't have been more than highest #250 or #300 by now with no subsidy excuse.

But today we are buying fuel #200 under this dumb dunce called buhari and same subsidy he and his senseless supporters once said was a scam have not yet been removed.

Mumu man.
He is not even ashamed to commission a project did by his fellow governor.
This Obaseki na really dumb and useless governor.

APC is a useless party with senseless supporters

Last last in one way or the other, everybody go chop their own share of the breakfast wey them dey dish out for this naija one day?

iwaeda:
APC doesn't have plan for Nigeria, know this, know Joy

APC is as useless to Nigeria and Nigerians just the way buhari is

stocktaker:
I dont know why igbo people want to die about tinubu this is too much tinubu this , tinubu that, haba this is election if you dont like tinubu vote for another candidate of ur choice its very simple ,tinubu is not the only candidate contesting im getting pissed off the way igbo people carry tinubu matter on top of there head abeg its becoming nauseating --spit-

And who now told u that the people that brought out this news are Igbo people? Did the person who posted this news wrote in anywhere that he/she is an Igbo person?

What u are now trying to say is that all the bad news against Peter Obi is Yoruba people's handwork abi?

What's the model of your iPhone, and how did your issue occured?

iPhone 7. They brought the phone for me from abroad and when I put my sim card inside it, it work before it started this issue so. I even went as far as factory resetting it thinking it was software issues. But I later regret factory resetting it because it only makes things got worst for me.

RomeoMarvis:
That's Baseband issue. The phone baseband is no longer available hence the "No Signal" icon on the top right corner of the screen. Seems the phone is one of those replaced/refurbished devices. Some can bypass it for you but it won't use simcard or an experienced engineer will work on d baseband for you. Later option is more preferable.

That's same issue I'm having with one of my phone now bros. But the engineer I gave to fixed it for me told me that he can't do it, but he will send it to a company that can fixed it for me.

Bros, like how much do u think will fixed it for me?

Ngonlo Kante is always serious

NOETHNICITY:
But why the thing dey pain you? Must you comment on the issue? Did she bring to matter to your page?

Oga I nor dey like wey people dey show themselves dey gather attentions just to discourage others. Nor be today we done dey hear say things they dey very expensive for most western countries.

if to say she just post about how much she spent on fixing her car for there, I for nor reason am. But why she come first dey say japa nation how far? That's to say she get other intensions apart from the high cost she spent in fixing her car.

Na that "japa nation how far" matter just para me for inside

Michelle70:
Thanks to every one of u politicians.

If half of u had been visionary like Yar' Adua was, we wouldnt be here.

I dey tell u, Yaradua was the only president of Nigeria that was really ready then to helped Nigerians.

henryobinna:
Bro chill, you're using this opportunity to vent your anger on her.

You shouldn't be angry or blame her because if you've been paying attention on social media lately you'd notice many people both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria share virtually every detail of their life with people on social media, whatever the reasons are is not what I'm concerned with. But it's actually normal for someone to share such details today on the internet, especially if they've been sharing other similar detail.

Another thing to note is that, she likely moved overseas very recently, so she is shocked at the amount she has to pay for such 'minor' fixes on her care. It's the more reason she felt compelled to share.

I'm not justifying her actions as I don't care much, I'm just trying to give you an idea of a reason.

At the bolded bro, for her to just get there and buy a car, means she was doing extremely well in Nigeria before she went there. So why going to stay in another's man country and start complaining, when u were already doing well in ur country that the bills are very cheap?

At least the internet have helped us all know that cost of living are very high over there in the west, so she knows what she was putting her into from day one. Then why now trying to create attention and trying to discourage others from going?

If u checked, u will see that she wasn't sharing any details about herself with her tweet there. She was only seeking attention and as well trying to discourage others that have the intentions of going there too.

If she was only trying to share details about herself, then why will she start with japa nation how far, with a laughing emoji on it?

henryobinna:
Earning in dollars does not mean she earns $1m per month. If you check very well her monthly take home might be between $5k to $10k or even less, it could be after or before tax sef. So if it's before tax, she would have to herself something like $3,750 to $7500, it varies slightly from these figures but still very close.


Having that in mind, tell me how $1800 is not a huge amount? $1800 out of $10k is 18% just to fix break pads, she would pay rent, insurance (car, health etc), mortgage if she doesn't own her home fully or isn't paying rent.

Bro, $1800 is a huge amount of money anywhere in the world, the only people it would not be huge for are millionaires or multimillionaires, both in USD.

I didn't said $1800 is not a big money anywhere. But why is she coming to the media to seek senseless attentions with it? Is it to discourage others from going or what?

If she can afford a car in Yankee, already shows she is a big woman and not the struggling Nigerians over there in Yankee. So why is she complaining of the money she used in fixing it?

Since she wants to seek attention, why didn't she show us the car she is using over there, so that we will know what her worth is?

For her to be using a car over there in Yankee already indicates she is not among the struggling Nigerians over there. So why don't she comes back to Nigeria and start a business for herself, so that she will not be charged heavily when she is paying her bills?

She earns in dollars, so why is she disturbing the media now? Or is she earning in naira and spending in dollar?

The rate at which most senseless Africans go seeking for senseless attentions this days ehn, the thing tire me o. After going through a lot just to get their visa, they will now get there and start spilling rubbish. For her to be using a car over there in Yankee already indicates she is not among the struggling Nigerians over there. So why don't she comes back home and start a business for herself here in Nigeria, so that she will not be paying heavy bills.

No body force her to be there in the first place. No body knows when she was disturbing their embassy over here in Nigeria seeking and begging them for visa. Now, that she has what she want, she now feels she can spill rubbish. If she knows she doesn't want to spend in dollar, she can come back to Nigeria and spend in naira peacefully.

We are here in Nigeria thinking about how to make sure the right person get into power in next year election, and some dumb dunce over there in Yankee are busy disturbing us with their senselessness.

Nonsenses everywhere
