Can somebody tell me what this Buhari Administration has really achieved concerning its 2015 election promises ?

And what is this government doing with the looted cash that is being recovered? Why can't this government start looking for ways to keep jobless Nigerians gainfully employed rather than doling out stipends to them every month? NIPOST alone is capable of employing up to 200,000 Nigerians with its network of Branches all over Nigeria. With e-commerce growing in Nigeria and people buying things from online stores in Europe, Asia, America, Canada etc, NIPOST can really become a Multi Billion dollars business by making sure Nigerians receive their Parcels and Orders in their homes no matter where they order them from for a small fee. No matter what people say, this APC Government is very clueless and lethargic in its approach to developing Nigeria.

I believe Orji Uzor Kalu should be contacted concerning this Issue. He will take up the matter quickly.

Please, go out and join the protest. Spare some hours today for the protest and go out there and vent your anger. Cheers.

Those that are protesting are not idiots. Cheers.

Some comments on this thread have shown a good number of Nigerians are still not ready to take control of their destinies. I weep for Nigerian youths. As long as they are comfortable in their 30,000 Naira - 100, 000 Naira jobs, they will allow a bunch of old bats to keep deciding the affairs of Nigeria. Na wa o.

Pls bro look at the car and compare with how often the girl is working
Then see the attached pics where the girl said this is her first job of the yr
All this is just internet hype

are you saying she is lying? she said it is the first job she is doing in 2017. Does she have to post pictures of all the jobs she has done in the past on nairaland? The truth is that there is money to be made in construction work and other hand jobs with the right connections. Even in Nigeria, there are opportunities for those who can work hard. Maybe because she is a female plasterer, she is being favoured by those who awarded her the contracts. Cheers.

@poster, you have all what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur. If you can do all those things you have mentioned, you can start your own company and do well in life. Dont be afraid of starting a small business even if you get another job. stay blessed.

Daddy Showkey might have investments which many people might not be aware of. I don't think he will be that stupid not to have invested his money in some ventures. He lives in Omole Estate, so how is he poor? People should think before commenting on Nairaland.

10 years down the line, many of those that are talking about online cartoon blogs will not be in business again. People just think every business will succeed online. Traditional publishing is still very relevant and it usually complements web publishing. It is only in Nigeria that I see people thinking of starting cartoon publishing on the web straightaway.the problem we are having is that many youths are not ready to do the hard work of marketing their publications or magazines in a unique way. Distribution can be done in a unique way. It is not always about the vendor all the time. You can create your own chain of distribution by approaching supermarkets, shops, chemists, hairdressers, fast food outlets on your own. Cheers.

Why are you not considering publishing a cartoon magazine instead? Or do you believe publishing is not profitable again? You can start with 1000 copies and with good advertising and marketing, you can really make money right from the third edition of the magazine.

Buhari and the APC will do all it takes to win the Ondo State Gubernatorial election. Buhari knows once Ondo State is won by the APC, his chances of re-election in 2019 will remain bright. One thing I know is that the South West still remains the key battleground towards the 2019 Presidential Elections. Cheers.

Ok thanks for the information. Cheers

Knee injury he sustained in the first game i believe

I did not see Olaseni 'Shane' Lawal on the court during the game. Where was he ?

We lost the game against Lithuania in the 3rd Quarter. Why did we stop banging in 3 Pointers in the 3rd quarter?

This was a game we should have won hands down. This D'Tigers team is good enough to qualify from their group.

Where was Olaseni Lawal last night?

It may sound stupid and foolish, but the OP should walk around his Poultry and pray hard, soaking the Poultry in the blood of Jesus and praying that place will be free from Snakes and other creatures ( Including Man ) that consume or steal his Chickens. Prayer works in every circumstance. Cheers .

It is going to be Nuhu Ribadu/Ngozi Okonjo Iweala for 2019 ( PDP ).

Good Morning

What you don't know is that Hausa people does not engage in athletics, the only sport in the North is Football.

Sorry to burst your bubble, my brother. Hausa-Fulani People engaged in athletics in the 80's. Does the name Yohanna Waziri ring a bell? Waziri was the Marathon Race Champion in Nigeria for many years and he was a Northerner. The Northerners are suitable as long distance runners, like the Kenyans and Ethiopians. Cheers.

For those who are genuine in their tithe payment and offerings, God releases his blessings on them. Just do what you have to do and don't worry too much about what is done with the money you pay in. I am favoured and I know it. Cheers.

Ah, my boys still have a lot of work to do o

Argentina has a very good basketball team and France is not a push over either. Just look at the margins the two countries defeated D'Tigers with .

Will Voigt needs to come up with a Master Plan that will ensure that Nigeria does not end up playing classification matches at the Olympics this year. Cheers.

There is nothing wrong with having the name 'Jacob' or any other name like that. What matters is how the Person bearing the name reacts to it. The names our Parents gave us have deep meanings though, but I prefer traditional names to the current Pseudo-Christian names we are giving our children these days. Names like Titilayo, Funmilayo, Adeleke, Oluwole, Diekolola, Abayomi, Olugebenga, Adewale, Babajide, Olajide, Olajire, Adejare etc are good names. The Jews who dominate the world when it comes to Business and Innovation hardly forsake their culture or change their traditional names during naming ceremonies. Same with the Japanese and Chinese People. These days People are not even using Kolanuts, Salt, Palm Oil etc at naming ceremonies again. Using these items at naming ceremonies does not mean you are a devilish person or family etc. God gave us Salt,Palm Oil, Kolanuts for reasons that are good. Let me stop here. Cheers.

Ose Baba Mi

God bless you, my guy

These are the kind of stories I want to be reading on Nairaland. Entrepreneurship will always bring you happiness if you are hardworking and focused. Your head dey there, my guy. Thanks.

I have read all the comments on this thread. If I have to make my own observations and comments about Buhari's 1st year in office, Nigerians will storm Aso Rock and chase him and Osinbajo out of the Place. Let me just reserve my comments. Cheers.

Madam Kofo was 'Madam De Madam' in Basi and Company, shey?

I hope I am right. Madam Kofo was also in 'Second Chance' which was a Sitcom about Adult Education. 'Second Chance' was also Popular in the Mid to Late 80's on NTA Network. I have attached the picture of Madam Kofo here. Cheers.

My favourite character was Alali. He was just one hell of a guy with his hustling spirit

I bet Alali would have achieved some success in whatever he is doing today. He was a real HUSTLER in the Sitcom.

@dasparrow, you mentioned homosexual activities in Boarding schools in Nigeria, but you failed to mention that many students grow out of it after secondary school if they attended a Boys or Girls only School. Many Nigerian students do grow out of homosexual or lesbian tendencies after secondary school. Yes, fornication and adultery is rampant in Nigeria like other parts of the world, but in Nigeria, churches, mosques and other religious institutions speak against it, unlike in the West where you might be charged to court for airing your views about LGBT People. There are more divorces and child molestation cases in the West than in Africa. Cheers.

Hmn, you have made some good points. I believe Sade should have remained connected to Africa though she left there at a younger age. There are other Biracial children that that still espouse African values though they grew up in Europe or North America. I don't believe an excuse should be made for Ila's transformation because Sade's Dad ( Professor Adu ) did not hang around long after her birth. We have Ayo Ogunmakin ( Who has a Nigerian Father and Romanian Mother. And Ayo grew up in Germany ) who has turned out to be a responsible woman. We have others like her who are bringing up their own kids properly in the West. So I don't believe the lack of a Nigerian Father Figure should be totally used as the reason why children like turn out to be what they have become. Cheers.

FYI, I don't support Fornication and Adultery. Cheers.

dasparrow:
Here is what you need to keep in mind. Sade's parents divorced when she was just 2 years old. Her mother who is an English woman then took Sade and her brother back to the UK where they both grew up. I doubt that Sade's father - who is a Nigerian - played any role in her upbringing after Sade's mother took Sade and her brother back to the UK. Hence, Sade has no strong ties to Nigeria especially cultural ties since she left Nigeria as a toddler at age 2. Why then would you think that it will occur to Sade to sent her only child Ila to Nigeria, a country that even she Sade is not so familiar with since she did not grow up here in Nigeria?

Culturally speaking, Sade is NOT Nigerian. She left Nigeria at a very tender age. She is culturally British and so is her daughter Ila whose father is Jamaican. So don't expect Sade or her offspring to adhere to any African culture or tradition because Sade was brought up by her white mother in England after her parents split.

This is a lesson for all those Nigerian-bred men who marry white women and after procreating with them, don't stick around in the marriage to instill African cultural values in their biracial offspring. At the end of the day, no one should be surprised if the child grows up and is not culturally African.

That said, homosexuality has nothing to do with culture and tradition. Anyone who grew up in Nigeria and attended boarding school in this country can testify to the many homosexual activities that take place in our same-gender boarding schools across the country. So this has nothing to do with being African. There are transgender and homosexual people in all racial groups and nationalities around the world.

Lastly, and this is just my stance, I wish Nigerians will condemn fornication and adultery which is very rampant in Nigerian society like they condemn homosexuality. I say this because fornicators and adulterers will not make heaven if they don't practice true repentance before they are called home to God. I also wish Nigerians will show outrage towards pedophiles who have sex with children and destroy the lives of children but sadly, Nigerians would rather tolerate a pedophile than tolerate a homosexual. I have always wondered why? I guess in Nigerian culture, it is okay to sexually molest and abuse a child but not okay for two adults of the same gender to engage in CONSENSUAL intercourse.

What exactly do the Asians do that makes their Children behave better or successful in life more than African, Carribean or other Black Groupings in the UK? I still want to solve the puzzle. I have been privileged to be close to some Asian Families and I have noticed that there seems to be some order and intentional method of raising their kids to become successful in business and professional life. And When I say I spend time with Asians, I have actually spent time in their homes and taken the time to observe things. Their kids are mostly found doing productive things after school hours. The other day,I went to a Caribbean Restaurant to buy some jerk chicken and rice, and the way the Black boys there were sizing me up and looking at me in a shifty manner leaves much to be desired .

What is going on in a good number of black families in Europe and North America?

This is a very sad development, no matter what some people think

I would have loved it if Sade sent Ila to Nigeria on holidays when she was younger. Nothing beats being raised up in the Culture of your People. Yes, everyone has a right to become what they want to be, but I don't share that opinion. Asian children hardly turn out like this because the Asians are very serious about their Culture and Family values. We Africans are doing ourselves a lot of disservice by abandoning our traditions and culture and proper way of bringing up our Children. We don't have to give our children too much Freedom all in the name of modernization . I am not really happy with this development. So sad .

They want to capture Bayelsa State at all costs because many people still regard GEJ as their President. GEJ is still popular in Nigerian politics. APC is scared that PDP will rebuild and stage a comeback in 2019. So they want to capture Bayelsa State and embarrass the PDP and Goodluck Jonathan. No matter what the media is portraying, Goodluck Jonathan is still popular and he is the rallying figure of the PDP. cHHERS.

If APC wins in Bayelsa State, I can swear that there is rigging involved

Bayelsans cannot suddenly start supporting APC.

Election observers should shine their eyes wella.

We have schools like that in naija here except for the free food

The schools you are talking about are Private Schools in Nigeria , not Public Schools. Many Public Schools in the UK are better than the Private schools in Nigeria when it comes to Aesthetics and Facilities- Right from the Classroom to the Toilets.

We can't have a Forum like Nairaland in Nigeria and not be able to influence Politics and Development in Nigeria. Cheers.

I am always interested in developmental threads on Nairaland

Someone posted some pictures of a dilapidated school in Lagos on this thread, and no one has bothered to ask why the Desks and Chairs that were made in 2009 had been destroyed so quickly. The truth is we don't have a good maintenance culture in Nigeria. We need to develop a very strong Maintenance culture first before we can start talking of having good looking facilities in schools. That is why I am not happy with the current Buhari Administration. It seems the APC does not have a plan for the massive renovation of Public Schools in the country. This Government has not even told us in detail how it intends to implement its One Meal a day Program in Public Primary Schools . This Government has not unveiled a comprehensive plan on how to collect taxes from all levels in Nigeria. Nigerians are also not good at paying taxes and people expect their environment to be like that of Europe and North America .

The situation is going to remain the same until we have a Government that will stop giving us empty promises, but will get to work immediately after being sworn into Power. Cheers.
