You missed to add US into their list too

Thanks. And US.
Not to talk of Nigeria ooo....

captainamiedi1:
But how is their currency still very strong? What do they sell? These whole thing I don't understand at all.

The biggest and greatest Colonial master of all times.

They colonised India Canada Australia (three of the world's fastest growing countries )

Since they still have a good hold on their former colonies ...... The pound have no choice than to be very strong

gistray:
I can't even stand coming to this section with all the tribal slurs and rubbish insults and comparisons while the owner seats and watch without doing anything.

This section alone have subconsciously made me develop a form of dislike for my fellow Nigerians from the other tribe even without getting to know them.

Useless section... ThankGod I'm gradually moving away from this platform before I'm totally corrupted.


Shame on Seun Osewa for not doing enough or laying out harsh rules to punish those disgusting sets of people always bringing about confusion.

No matter how toxic nairaland is .....it's still learning from Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).
Though Seun behavior during the last election smacks of cowardice......his greatest undoing was to be pandering to the wishes of Obidients so that he will not look like he is supporting BAT when everyone knows he doesn't like BAT.....he allowed the igbos intimidations to get to him and in the process gave up the control of nairaland to pro igbo MODS.
Another issue nairaland is having is that it has lost some of it's best MODs and the mods these days are as confused as seun himself.

NAIRALAND remains a great site.....full of resources......just stay away from politics section

mrvitalis:
Then Do it stop talking

Why are you telling us?

It's funny how Nigerian police would state crimes they can't prove in court



Ordinary Nnamdi kanu you couldn't find one crime that could stick,

Dasuki u lost the case

Metuh you lost the case

Don't even know why deziani was running... Just let the arrest you, maxi u spend a few weeks in prison then they grant you bail... Case is over

When you promote people based on nepotism the system becomes ineffective overtime

See Nigerian Air Force crashing planes anyhow because pilots were probably selected by tribalism

If this guy can just spend that time between arraignment and bail grant in prison I can bet Nigeria police can't proof anything...that few weeks in jail is what they threaten you with nothing more

Are all these reasons to be assasinating someone else's character on the pretense of freedom of speech?
Your freedom of speech ends where it infringes on the freedom of others.
One by one all Stoopid fools posing as Journalist/bloggers will pay for their unprofessionalism

DMerciful:
When citizens cannot asked questions but follow blindly, they're called sheep.

When a government spends five times the normal cost, you can't be celebrating wastefulness and corruption

But everyone is shouting palliative up and down......it's not wrong or wasteful to use this method as a form of palliative.....the people that will use the trains at half the planned price will be grateful.

jaeyking:
Why bother to have kids
If you won't train them yourselves and be there to look after them

New generation parents
This question is for you

If you feel you are too busy to do so
Then get a professional nanny to do such duty and not someone's child who might feel maltreated.

Bottom line
Send your niece back to her mother
That's all

Train your child yourself or get a professional (registered) nanny

Cheap labour
That's why many Nigerian parents especially city dwellers who are always too busy to even look after their own children, have decided to turn other people's children especially relative's into slaves . Ask them to get a professional nanny they run.....they prefer those young igede...agatu....idoma...tiv....jukun....Hausa... Togolese....beninoise to professional nanny.
These are the same people planning to japa to go and do professional nanny in the UK or Canada

Racoon:
I once asked the same question here.Bola Thuvb can steal it, snatch it and run with it, but he can never hide

You people have not been able to explain why the US returned 1 million dollars and forfeited 460k dollars.
If really he was a bagman.....no dollar seized will go back to him.
Summary: the US didn't find him guilty of being a bagman . Yes some people (Muiz and co) invested drug related money in his compass investment but he himself wasn't involved in the drug business and you cant force a man to admit to be what he isnt

Rest abeg.
No Politician
I repeat
No Politician is a Saint.....not even an acclaimed Saint that goes about wearing black black occultic dressing......abi una think say we no know the reason he began wearing only black and black?

WesternPanzer:
Election has finished. The country is burning. But animals are still looking for propaganda to spread or who to like them.

Hate Igbos or Like them... The Igbo people are a people monkeys can never be.

There is something special about the Igbo breed. Look all over the country and check the people other tribes like to familiarise with. ITS IGBOS. Which tribe do other tribes try to associate with? Its Igbos.

No matter any attempt to subdue the Igbo nation, it will always come to a failure. You know the reason?

They are a people chosen by God almighty to excel.

Finally, the only reason they hate Obi is because Peter Obi is a man their father or their father's father can never be.

Look all over the country.. ITS AN OBI TSUNAMI!

Taa

Which wisdom are you talking about. The igboman is wise yen yen yen yet they allowed a small boy sitting in Finland be controlling their region like remote control and causing so much disruption.....
You are still living in this delusion in 2023.... Other Nigerians eyes have opened Tay Tay to you peoples hypocrisy and playing victim.....if Fulani herdsmen strike in the north its the igboman that cry the most.
If you remind him there's insecurity in the east he denies it and claim its the DSS doing the killings and he goes on to fight you for pointing out the insecurity in the east when nobody said anything when northerners are killing northerners in the north.

Anybody that still doubts the instability of the igbomans mind had their doubt cleared when the whole tribe believed Buhari was dead and it's a clone thats in Aso rock..some still hold that believe till date just so it won't seem like they like Buhari..... It was after their disgraceful outing with the Jubril El sudani story that most Nigerians have up on igbos and some of us even believe it's a PTSD situation down east

Wainey:
Wiping US?
Let me pretend I read that wrong

No you didn't read wrong

Even the US DONT DOUBT THIS
what you could use to counter the argument is that the US equally have the same or even more capabilities but that Russia can't take out US is a joke taken too far

Xxxxtentacion2:
Igr and propaganda don't run a government...
Tinubu invested millions to reap billions where are the billions he reaped
You can only lie and deceive yourself...
Deep down you sef gan know that Tinubu has nothing to offer apart from rubbish Propaganda...
Even the Lagos he governed is an eyesore...
Basic amenities is totally zero...
If not for crass ignorance nobody in his right senses would support Tinubu...
I won't judge you its ignorance and low mentality that would make any normal person support Tinubu...

And you support Obi oooo.....if not for crass ignorance should anybody even chose a Obi over BAT or AA.
you won't know the meaning political base so I won't waste time educating you ......I will be praying that both Obi and you his supporters (or is it enemies because you cause more harm to him than good) continue to wallow in your ignorance and naivety so that the real political players can be playing politics the way it should be played....I will always support a man that remained in a party forever (save for merger that necessitated change of name) than a supposed saint that swore not to leave a party but left for another disgrace of a party only to end up labouring in vain. Peter Obi is a typical example of how not to be a politician

Xxxxtentacion2:
everybody knows what's good and what's bad..
If you like support dead body to be your president thats your business ...
Las las you will also face the consequences of bad leadership...

*Paper, pen and Gun....
All Tinubu supporters are to sign that if after four years, Tinubu fails to develop or improve Nigeria his supporters are to be shot a bullet in the head. Any supporter that is foolish enough to sign the agreement will not live to tell the tale...

And will all opponents also sign that if Tinubu develop and improve Nigeria in the next four years they should end up in jail for trying to impose a Pandora papers indicted black clothes wearing lying machine on the rest of us

Xxxxtentacion2:
Money has changed hands...
If not for the money the guy above me would not be wasting away his life dedicating rubbish songs everyday...
Na mad people dey support APC

Lunatics supports PDP
While
Idiots supports LP

Unperturbedpota:
False .

Can't force you to accept my submission

But if you believe Bloomberg over your own local news sources.....clearly shown your level of intelligence

Unperturbedpota:
Smh

Because he is refusing to publish all the propaganda you pushed him anymore.

For years you guys used the media to sell lies.. lies upon lies about Nigeria and the economy.

Foreign investors believed and made the mistake of coming here to invest then they lost billions.

From Jumia to Konga to bata ro nestle to Glaxo 5o Lufthansa to Kellogs to ToyRUs to Lego to Walmart to Pizza hut , etc I could go on and on listing foreign investors whis believed the lies from the Lagos Chamber of commerce then..

You sold Bloomberg et Al the usual lies the Nigerian chamber of commerce spits out faily backed by the propaganda from the Nigerian bureau of statistics.

All false fake data based on a 200 million population, what you didn't tell them which they all later realized is that there has been no real census so we don't know if our population is 200 million or 50 million.

What they also realised was that of that fake 200 million population there is no middle class only a 1% elite and a 99% extremely poor class.

So now they al got angry and started pulling out their Forex. It's a matter of time before Dstv leaves too, I foresee hem selling off to a local partner and devesting from the Nigerian economy. This year sBig brother has recorded the lowest revenue ever

The politicians wasted years building concrete castles like Eko Atlantic city which their citizens can't afford instead of investing in human capital so they can sustain the middle class . Now the middle class is extinct in Nigeria.

Companies have no customers who can purchase their products .

Starlinks has sold less here in Nigeria than Kenya. Yet we claim to have 200 million while Kenya are around 20 million people, let that sink in .

Nigeria o fast fading and the president still thinks propaganda can fly. The world has sent the truth and the have run from your economy .
Kenya is growing in leaps and bounds every foreign company not found in Nigeria is in Kenya

From Microsoft to all the foreign airlines, to Lego to shape to Asus t Siemens to Atlus to Ubisoft to every single foreign investor you can think of have offices in Kenya not Nigeria.

Until the citizens push for good leaders Nigeria will continue crashing more and more while you open threads on Nairaland wailing and blaming others for your problems instead of facing your leaders.

Fort hose whimose brains can't understand this is something as trivial as gokart tracks over 10 different huge tracks setup in Kenya are extremely profitable

https://destinationskenya.com/top-8-best-places-for-go-karting-in-kenya/

I think Lagos had one or at most 2. They have closed up . No profit and the economy killed them long ago why?

The itizens in Nigeria are poor and can't afford such against Kenya where their minimum wage is better and the people have much more disposable income because Kenya has a huge middle class.

The only business in Nigeria that survives are those for the extremely poor like pure water or those that carter to the 1% rich

Nigeria economy is finished

You made a lot of sense

But

Nigeria still remain the Biggest economy on the continent.... So it's still a beautiful bride.. Many of the companies leaving are scaling down since they were overbloated initially or effect of economic downturn which is a global thing currently. Almost all economies of the world is going through a hard time ...... consequences of Covid and the Ukraine war.

See for every company that leaves at least 5 more is opening. Nigerians like foreign things too much that's why even affairs of foreign companies is of concern to us..... Many locally owned companies are coming up.....it's even one of the reasons some of those companies are leaving....the competition from local firms is becoming too much and their profit margins drastically reduced.

Anyone that believe local newspapers uses lies and propaganda but believe in Bloomberg is still a slave still chained to the shackles of European slave merchants. All these advanced countries uses some form of propaganda or another to advance their economies....so if it happened in Nigeria it's not new. I give you example. Hollywood is the biggest propaganda machine of the US government.
Every weekend you see all sort of foreign schools organizing seminars for intending students....for an oyinbo man to come down to Nigeria means he is after your pocket. Nothing more

GeneralPula:
There was a time when;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence staff was fron SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
University of Ibadan VC from SE

Even with all these....they were still not satisfied....they seek TOTAL DOMINATION and went ahead to commission their young lads in the military to carry out a putsch

toneroforever:
Ok... It then means u r probably not well informed about the situation in Abia.

U need to understand the love Abia indigenes & residents have for Otti.
Neither Ikpeazu nor his intended successor, the PDP governorship candidate,Okey Ahiwe went to court to challenge Otti's victory.

It's only the criminals & party stalwarts who looted the state dry that r in court.

Abians detest PDP, they are vampires.

You were asked " why are you people claiming ikpeazu projects.....and you went on this long rant and ended up saying nothing about the question......so I also ask.... why are you people claiming ikpeazu projects?

Brendaniel:
Your Father's company was in dire need of a good manager and your father entrusted you to help him get a good manager to handle his company...

A close friend of yours brought someone to manage your father's business, after the first 4 years he failed to manage the business well, your friend then advised you to keep him for another 4 years that he will revive the business, after 4 years again he incurred so much debt.

Your close friend then comes to tell you that the reason why he sent that guy to manage your father's business was because he wanted to manage your father's business after 8 years of that guys turn that damaged your fathers business that it is his turn to manage your father's business, he further told you that that was the agreement he had with the guy he brought to manage your father's business for 8 years that ended up destroying your father's business ...

This question is to Tinubu supporters:

would you give your friend your father's business to manage after knowing all these?

If your answer is no, then you are heartless, wicked, unpatriotic, you hate Nigeria and Nigerians, you have no pity for Nigeria and Nigerians, you don't even believe in Nigeria because you voted or supported Tinubu who did exactly what your close friend did to your father's business, if you cannot allow such a friend to handle your father's company after doing exactly what Tinubu did to Nigeria....

Why then did you allow/support Tinubu to handle Nigeria after doing the same thing to Nigeria as your friend did to your father's company?


And if your answer is yes, then you are as bad as your close friend and your father should not entrust anything in that company to you likewise as you supported Tinubu, Nigerians should not entrust anything to you....

Nonsense Emotional blackmail.
This is Nigeria
Not my father's business.

Jewessgratitud3:
*From a concerned lady*👇‼️

My husband is not the same man I fell in love with.

My husband changed totally after wedding day, in fact, it started on the wedding night and its giving me a lot of concern.

It's not that he is not talking to me or we are fighting, but he is not the cheerful happy person anymore.

After months of trying to get what the problem is, he finally opened up to me and I don't know what my fault is, I think he is overreacting.

My husband works in an insurance company and he is just a junior staff, he earns 150k per month, so he is not doing that bad.

When we wanted to get married, my dad wrote the wedding list and everything he would bring, when he saw them, he fumed that they were too much and they should reduce it but my dad insisted that he won't collect it twice, I also told him if he really loves me, he would provide them, he could get help from his family too, it is called bride price and other things, and it is once.

We had little issue then but he later resolved it.

He brought everything they asked for.

During the wedding, my parents told him to buy a cow, rent a hall and decorate it then they'll take care of other things. He said he didn't have money for a big hall and he would prefer a field ground but my dad insisted that rain could disrupt things and he has many people coming.

That almost cause issues too, I had to support him with 50k to get the hall because I know who my dad is, he won't back out.

I didn't know how he did it, he took the hall and designed it, he bought cow too.

His family brought food and everything went fine and that was it.

I don't know what was keeping him moody until he spoke up.

He said I couldn't fight for him, I was there supporting my parents and watch them extorting him, did I even know he had to collect loan to pay for those things?

I got angry because he used the word 'extorting'.

He was the one that wanted to have my hand in marriage and if he cherish me, he should do all they wanted since he is not paying twice.

After I said this, he stopped talking in the house, he comes home, eat and go to bed.

I tried talking to him but he would listen but not talk, he is cold to himself and prefer his privacy.

Have I said something wrong?

I don't like whats happening. My marriage is too young to be going through all these.

I am tired, I don't know what to do.

Advise this lady

What you family did is called EXTORTION.
SIMPLE
Or were they selling you to him that he MUST BRING THINGS HE COULDN'T AFFORD

BoldBrainz:
I didn't even know Benue State had an airport that serves the civilian populace.

For now the military and civilian flights use the TAC airbase (Tactical air command)....
But the state government in conjunction with a private firm is constructing a new airport which will be used strictly for civil aviation

Quest7777:
if your tribe is subjected to what Igbo's have gone through in this Geographical Contraption called Nigeria, you will be far worse.

Like what and what exactly?
You people are still deceiving yourself and haven't learnt that All your attempts at revisionism will fall yakata.

If you are not igbo you will feel exactly the way other Nigerians feel about igbos..... Pray tell how come no single ibo leader was murdered by the gang of mainly south eastern soldiers in January 1966.....while mercilessly massacring leaders of other tribes..?
I know most igbos don't realize the gravity of what happened....reason for all the grandstanding of igbos..... the reason why other Nigerians don't and won't trust you is that we knew your leaders got info about the coup and all ran away leaving the leaders of other tribes vulnerable....this is seen as an act of collaboration with the coupists and a betrayal of the Nigerian state.

Indefatigable Senator Dino Melaye and Honourable Habibat was heavily received by the good people of Kaba LG in Kogi West Senatorial district. Check the pictures here. Senator Dino Melaye everywhere you go in Kogi State. November 11th governorship poll must Obey.

Why that policeman in the third picture come look like Saraki

ecolime:
Hardcore Obidients are making things complicated with those #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary taglines and billboards.


It looks more like bullying.

If Justice Tsamani tribunal refuse to sanction LP for the intimidations of the judiciary
The SC will definitely bring down the hammer on them for all the "all eyes on the judiciary" intimidation campaign......the fake news about CJ sneaking out of the country to meet PBAT in France.....to the fake news of a member of the panel resigning because he doesn't want to compromise..... All these are meant for intimidate the judiciary which Judges frown at seriously

COMPAQ:
Story!! Chavez ruined his country by senseless socialist spending, like subsidies that make petrol $0.5 per litre. Thats like petrol in Nigeria being N50.

Isn't this what majority of Nigerians want..?with the mindset that afterall we are the largest producer in Africa.

EmekaMD:
Igbos does not sell land to other tribes , bla bla bla and all those nonsense from Ogbomoso and Iragbiji born and bread who have never left their villages to outside world have been put to rest.

If you get money land still dey o

My brother that thing you call nonsense is REAL IN IGBOLAND.
And the reason is simple....
Theres not much land available
So the few available one should be reserved for igbos only
Forget this propaganda...... This developer was just lucky

Metrofox:
and no one cares what he drives, the government is where the focus is . We don't have a say in the personal lives of people. Remember same Peter Obi supported innosson many years ago when it wasn't even popular to do so

So what happens to living by example.
It's foolish to say obi shouldn't patronize INNOSON as a private citizen.....that means he won't still patronize them if he gets to government.

[quote author=22o62021 post=125001243]During the Civil War
Igbos single handedly built weapons locally

Why can't Nigeria employ their services to build something great for the country. [/quite]

The irony of all these una claims be say the south east remains the poorest and most underdeveloped region in Nigeria....is it that your so called ingenuity will only work outside igboland?.....if thats the case then it wasn't your so called services but the economic policies in place in those places you have suceeded.
That's how them no let u hear word during elections.....igbos know good candidates yen yen yen.....but of what use is your eyes for good candidates when you end up voting disasters as governors

Validated:
May I on behalf of millions of Nigerians suffering ask Tinubu and his confused economic team to reverse the floating of the Naira. Ihf this a matter of pride. It has become foolish.

It smacks of irresponsibility to float a third world country's currency in the face of current global economic decline and crisis occasioned by COVID and Russia-Ukraine war. If the pride is because of what people may say, Tinubu and his team should consider what people would do when hunger drives them crazy.

For the upteempt time, Tinubu and his confused CBN managers should realize that without intervention, the Naira will continue its downward slide even up to N5000/$1. There is no voodoo to it.

In less than 80 days, Naira lhas lost 130%, at that rate, the $1 would be N2000 in another 90 days.

Make una allow policies time to work or not

This is hasty generalization...... If you weren't expecting that with floating it will take a while for the policy to stabilize the naira....then you clearly don't know much about economics
