I still blame Michael Jackson for this rubbish.

Plastic Surgery had been there like forever,and it did not attract so much attention,until Michael Jackson decided to turn from a black man into a white man via surgery.

And with his celebrity status,he made it cool to cut your nose like he did his,and totally change what God created.

The media twisted what you know that led to it. Mike had VITILIGO, a skin disorder that changes the pigment of your black skin to white. He had patches of white spots on his hand that led to wearing gloves and I think that was how he went on to do plastic surgery.

lt's a pity because getting the capital to start the business is as hard as trying to work on water, couple with lack of stable power supply which kills so many upcoming and small businesses

Stop this capital excuse like i often tell many Nigerians. Go and offer a service and people will pay you and you can then save to raise capital for the business idea of your mind.

Mark zuka has apologized and promised to belt up and protect users data from unwanted privacy infringement. He lost over $9B just in 4 days. Abeg make we pity am small na

My thought exactly. This guy sold whatsapp to Mark but now wants the facebook to be buried. I know the benefits of what facebook has helped humanity accomplish,connecting the world, especially long lost friends, no social media has come close.

resurgentxtian4:
I have told igbos to fight and defeat Yorubas in a bloody war in the heart of Lagos if you hate us so much.

Since we are now the cause of the problems the Hausa Fulanis created in Nigeria.

See how ikechuob and his people have derailed my thread?

For the record, I have cleared the air on the baseless accusations being leveled by these people. I can’t fathom why they can’t assimilate the message in my thread instead and trying to apportion blames.

What is my own, I have passed my message and the target audience have seen it.

Igbos are generally stubborn. You have to accept that fact. They don't forgive when they feel betrayed, you also have to accept that.


Their cry might seem like they hate others but trust me, if you make Nigerian better by 50% today, all those cry will end. All they care about is progress. Not the presidential post. They are angry because they feel something is holding their progress. They are all over Nigeria because they are very adventurous in a nature. All they care about is success and success but when it seems like some persons are hindering their success, what else do you expect them to do? An average Igbo wants to prosper against all odds... but see the situation in Nigeria, just look at things. we keep getting worse...

They may sound bitter, they may sound hateful, they may sound angry but inside that bitterness, anger, hatefulness and so on lies a heart that wants to see Nigeria progress. They angry because each time they propose a way forward, it is always the Yorubas that come with one tactics to weaken them.

The Yorubas are smart but I don't feel they are using that smartness wisely. We have to accept that the problem is not any part of the South, the earlier we accept this fact, the better for the country. The problem is the North!

But I am sure the Yorubas will never work with other group of the South. Let's forget that Igbos have always been at loggerhead with the Yorubas, what effort have they made to make sure that South South works with them harmoniously? I have never seen that?

The Igbo man's approach often appear hash and crude when they propose it but looking at it empirically, you see that it is a long term benefit for all. Tell me one thing that they have proposed, either break up or restructuring, though hard, that isn't better than what we are currently facing?

How I also wish that the Niger Deltans will just put a complete stop to ALL oil production in the country UNTIL we renegotiate the terms of our collective existence as a country. Whether we accept this or Not, the South still holds the power to turn this country around... my worry is that the Yorubas willl ALWAYS be the loophole which the North uses to undermine the South and the rest of the country at large.

the question is , who will bell the cat?

I was forced to start looking for prices of houses sold in Ghana yesterday. I personally do not like the idea of leaving Nigeria and travel out to a white man's country. I am hustler like any igbo man should be, even though I am currently having some set backs, but I know God will prevail.

I think I will rather move my family, when it is time, to Ghana and operate my business, which is still in nascent stage in Nigeria. This is will even give me an opportunity to sell my products/services to both Nigerians and Ghanaians, after all, my maternal grand mother was a Ghanian who came to Nigeria.

Hello bro, I know blog set up using wordpress, I know how to research and but my worry now is that fiverr has changed a lot from what I have heard. They said it is now tougher than before to get jobs done

Bede2u:
from 1979 to 1999 all nigerian leaders where northern muslims. Pls tell me how Nigeria progressed in those 20 years.

Compare that to from 1999 to 2015 when mostly southern christians held power. Nigeria moved from least developed 3rd world to middle income developing nation with highest gdp in Africa and a strong banking and telecom industries

see, I asked them what they have done for Nigeria here

They can barely fill up the space.

Since I joined my uncles business in Ivory Coast in 2015, my life has been different. I just come to naija to visit, chill and eat.

I don't care for any Nigerians. Only biafrans that I care for.

Well said... moving to neighbouring african countries for those who like business will be the best decision

pedrilo:
he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day

how many fight have you fought bro? How many National protest have you participated in? It is unfortunate that we live in a generation of spineless Nigerians and I was forced to download Fela's song some weeks ago and drown myself in his prophesies!

Biety:
You mean we should run away from our ancestral land and never return...
you've surely forgoten the yoruba adage that says ILE LABO ISINMI OKO.
There is no place like home and this country is our home.

The other day someone advised young Nigerians to stop going to UK universities because the govt of UK no longer give job to Nigeria students after graduation. They'ld rather employ an uneducated or a less qualified europeans instead of a learned Nigeria..
Are you now telling us to keep running to a place we are not needed/ respected? If all syrians had fled because of ISIS, the terror group would have destroyed their country completely, but because they took their stand, help came.
PUTIN, iran, and china are HELPING THEM because they didn't do what you are advising us to do.
They didn't abandon their country even when ISIS was controlling 80% of syria territory, with determination, the syrian govt has reclaimed most of its teritory from the terror group and now at the verge of defeating ISIS completely.
What we can learn from them is that nobody will fight your battle for you. And you cannot win any battle by running away.
NB: my post does not mean i believe anyone is trying to islamize this country. The islamisation agenda is nothing but a conspiracy theory the politicians are using to deceive people like the OP.

This no place like home I agree. If I will leave Nigeria, it will be to neighbouring countries where I can easily run some business in Nigeria.

So what do you have to say about the North dragging the rest of country back? Do we fold our hands and watch them make life miserable? do you realise these people are POVERTY themselves and they are trying to spread their POVERTY to other part of the country? more than half of them have never tasted a good life nor know what it looks like.

Several weeks ago, I asked the North what are their achievements for Nigeria on international space that is helping to bring glory to her. I gave 20 slots but unfortunately, aside from Dangote... and one Mr Aliyu, the remaining slots could barely be filled.

See here: https://www.nairaland.com/4361516/northerners-what-international-achievements-nigeria

The North has ruled this country MORE than the South, yet we can HARDLY boast of any progress as a country.

We have the herdsmen killing people all over but the president did nothing and the Bokoharam, captors of Dapchi Girls, gallantly and freely returned them with no attack, no arrest... and were being hailed by all those illiterates I saw in the pictures/videos, even the capture girls, I am sure they can't write 1 simple sentence in English.

Today, I do not have much strength to talk because apparently, this country will never progress. The North is everything backward that you can ever imagine in the 21st century.

A Southerner gave me mobile phone and internet and I know how that has affected me and millions of Nigerians, both financially and otherwise. It was with this internet I used to track down a son that had not been seen in 27 years since he left the shores of Nigeria and with the information given to me by his mother, now late, I was able to track him down and he came to Nigeria for the first time after linking up to him.

Can any Northern president past or present boast of such milestone that has effectively and positively changed life, financially and otherwise, I mean one that could be felt by everybody in Nigeria in millions?

My spirit broke and I lost the last shred of hope on seeing that people with unused brains could be hailing a sect that has been killing them and even captured their women.

You can continue to support Buhari if you want and he is very free continue to be president, and then another Northerner can take over from him after that, then hand over to the next Northerner up to their great grand children. You are free.

It is now clear that this Bokoharam is political machine installed to siphon funds into the hands of selected few AND buhari is one of them.

For those still supporting these evil men, what country do you want to leave for your children? what? I care not about those in core North, they are used to poverty and they do not deserve any better. You can't take a jungle out an animal. I see some of them around , parked like sardines in a shop that has no light, no fan, no cemented floor. It is just them and their food commodities that is sold. They do not WANT/NEED better life,better education, better health care, better prospect...

IF what happened with this Dapchi girls release does not move you, seeing the enemies of the country walking freely, being backed by the North, then I can conclude that you have no soul!

Leave this country if you can.. there is no hope like resurgentxtian4 said in his thread.

Oh, I get it, Niger Delta oil is what is propelling all these right? Just wait until the whole oil companies are asked to leave Niger Delta and no more production of oil. I believe by then una head go correct...

Nonsense!

millionboi2:
lol......no b me start d fight oo

Yeah, I know. I am just saying my mind biko. There as some people I don't insult for certain reasons. In my earlier years, I used to insult women and even hated them after severe heartbreak but as I grew older, I had to stop and start according them some respect due to the motherly role they play in the society and other.

millionboi2:
A Yoruba man with an igbo blood ...an icon not all this cowards here.

It is for people like this why you should at least not castigate the entire yoruba and insulting them...out of respect for this man, his people should not be attacked the way Igbos do on Nairaland.

cleatoris:
I knew it was never going to be an aboki.

check my thread asking for what they have achieved for Nigeria internationally... They couldn't provide more than Dangote... I gave 20 slots. QuotaSystem was just rambling

princechurchill:
Waiting for the day abokis will be elected in a foreign land,pls don't quote me else u will die

QuotaSystem, today alone, two news of Southerners making Nigeria proud. This is the 3 month of the year and I have not seen a Northerner doing Nigeria proud in global space.

First it was Guinness world record and now this, none of which a Northerner was mentioned...

Cadec007:
Must the whites produce everything? Y can't the blacks that brought the disease find a cure.
I think the Q that should interest us is 'why are we so dependant on the whites?' for christ sake these guys are our equals not our masters.!!!

Who told you the blacks brought the disease? You are not exposed... Do you know disease can be created in the lab and injected into you?

Omeokachie:
Not shot at sight like Biafran flag carrying members of IPOB?

The idiot is trying hard to correct his mistakes to garner 2019 vote... rubbish!

Don't the students have names and other means of identification??

Other times Nigeria’s name got on the world record book was for the biggest football jersey in the world. And when 300,000 students from the 600 public secondary schools in Lagos brushed their teeth simultaneously at different locations to defeat India who had set the previous tooth brushing record and put Nigeria on the map.

QuotaSystem, where are your people among these? Again, the South has put the name of this country on the international scene

deomelllo:














































lol @ silly villager, Lagos is now the reason why his villagers, Jona and 16 years pf PDP including akpabio couldn't join 2 blocks together to build common seaport..

as much as I enjoy most of your comments but you are taking it too far when you know stealing is going on at large in Lagos.

what have you done about that? how do you even justify the Lekki Toll gate fees and subsequent hike in said fees? is that not daylight robbery? What are they even using the money for?

ishowdotgmail:
God no give me this type of pikin ooo... but some parents tho, no one knows why he's doing so. He might be justified

bro, a child just don't neglect their parents, something must have triggered this.

EternalTruths:


Akwa Ibom has a gas powered station and will build more.

lol... continue o. I hail. just continue

EternalTruths:


Between the East and West, which region has more Natural Gas to power their Generators.

While I undestand where u are driving at, i will ask again: What are the EASTER LEADERS doing about it?

EternalTruths:


More entrepreneurs will become more successful and build multinational industries on the long run

what will the industries run on to operate their machines? To the best of my knowledge, the East does not even enjoy much power supply... so what will the machines in the East work with?

0monnak0da:
You are trying to reason with a dunce whose only focus is on importing without thinking that somehow imports must be paid for. They have no idea of how to grow the economy other than spending oil receipts on consumption . Who then are the biggest parasites?

Those countries we import from Would they manufacture anything if all they know is to load containers with rubbish.

Instead of talking about how to industrialize the country they are talking about how better to import and consume without production.
Switzerland is a landlocked country that has not held them back so stop pretending that is why the SE is so derelict
Nothing wrong with having as many orts as possible .Many of the losers secretly hope it will be the demise of Lagos not knowing Lagos will ALWAYS be ahead because we have visionary leaders..

In all honesty I hope the port is delivered but I know that Udom cannot deliver it . He does not have the competence given his antecedents.unless we see $100 oil before he vacates office.

Their matter tire me bro. Being a SE'er myself, I find it disgusting why these guys who rant on Nairaland about being marginalized find it HARD to at least blame the SE leaders for not doing their job... Everybody is fighting for their own share and you don't expect SW leaders to leave their people's development and well-being to come and do the job that SE leaders should do... Why do they always blame everyone else but their own leaders? They can HARDLY discuss without weaving biafra or past events into it as we have clearly seen on this thread.


I mean this thread has no link to Biafra but some cesspit breeds find it convenient to bring that into discourse...


So what is the job of SE senators and reps? What are they doing? It was on Nairaland last year that I read a none south east leader at the senate was the one who voiced out about the exclusion of SE zone for the railway line... I mean what were the igbo leaders doing at that time?

PRETTY SICK SHIITS!

phantom:
i mentioned it another thread that a major seaport in ibaka( deeper than apapa even without dredging) will finish lagos in a couple of years.
The truth is most importers are igbos. If this port comes to fruition, the south east/ south south will be the main nexus whether you yorubas like it or not.
You dont like to hear the truth but its actually the igbos that are keeping lagos afloat. About 70% of our imports are headed to the SE/SS. Once they build this port, a lot of importers will not bother using apapa or tincan.
A major seaport NEAR igboland will change this country for good. mark my words! If only we were truly "a nation" with love for each other, a major seaport in the SS/SE wil industrialize this country faster than you think.
Do you know how much an aba based shoemaker will save if he's imports are just 1 or 2 hours drive away from his factory. More companies will spring up. innoson will import his parts through ibaka because his factories are in enugu.
The advantages to the SE/SS is enormous.

How will "major seaport in the SS/SE wil industrialize this country faster than you think" ? Is that possible without constant power supply? Me think industrialization is heavily hinge on electricity and nothing else, so can a sea port industrialize Nigeria in the absence of power supply in constant flow?

Noise...

how is Skydeep boss and anderson?

A government offensive is also under way in the Eastern Ghouta, the last major rebel enclave near Damascus and another de-escalation zone. Its 393,000 residents have been under siege since 2013. They have come under intense bombardment and are facing severe shortages food and medical supplies.

Rebel factions also control territory in the northern province of Aleppo, central province of Homs, and in the southern provinces of Deraa and Quneitra.

What is left of rebel territory?



The government has regained control of Syria's biggest cities. But large parts of the country are still held by rebel groups.

The largest opposition stronghold is the north-western province of Idlib. It is home to more than 2.65 million people, including 1.2 million who have fled or been evacuated from other former rebel-held areas. Despite being designated one of the de-escalation zones, Idlib itself is now the target of a major ground offensive by the government. It says it is targeting Hayat Tahrir al-Sham jihadists there.

Western powers say Russia has also sought to undermine the talks and ensure the survival of its ally by setting up a parallel political process. In January, a "Congress of National Dialogue" was held in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi. But representatives of most opposition political and armed groups refused to attend.

The conference was the result of talks between Russia, Iran and Turkey held in Astana. The powers also agreed in May 2017 to establish four "de-escalation zones" covering major rebel-held areas. There was a reduction in the bloodshed initially, but in late 2017 the government began assaults on two of the zones.
