it's not discrimination, it's putting someone in his place

So if you are treated like dirt because of your skin colour you'll believe you deserve it?

Hope you don't transfer your self-hate and dumbitude to your children.

lilbest4:
the black race is backward and we are being treated the way we deserve.
A continent that has successfully proven to the world that it cannot rule itself, fend for itself technologically, where presidents run to Europe for health check ups how do you expect them to treat you as equals?
We are not equals

Oh lawd, please just sneak back into your little hole of self-imposed inferiority and self-hate from which you crept out of. We are not all like you, thank goodness. Brainless dullard. The continent ''cannot rule itself'' yet you are doing far better than your illiterate peasant grandparents did when whites ruled your continent. Mumu.

ayodiya:
You hv time to explain, most Nigerians don't know when racist remarks nd insults are throw to them subtly

Honestly. They are totally clueless. Back when I was in the US, my cousin would tell me that at his workplace, some Nigerian guys would be working, and the white bosses would be making racist comments against them to their faces. The Nigerians would be laughing with them. Afterwards, the black American workers would go in and explain to the Nigerians that they were being racially insulted by the whites.

Anduku:
There is nothing racist about that cartoon, it was an accurate depiction of what happened in that game

Shut up and go learn about the history of western racist depictions and imagery of blacks using physical stereotypes.

The problem with many of you Nigerians is that you are completely clueless and ignorant about the civil rights history and struggles in the New World, and the various expressions of white racism that blacks over there have come to know inside out for several generations. THEY are telling you that depiction was racist, and you, who know nothing about that history and experience, are sitting here in Nigeria and mouthing ignorantly, that ''there is nothing racist about that''.

JUST KEEP SHUT AND LEARN, because you are embarrassing.

Unnecessarily dramatic. China is not ''taking over'' Africa. It was the west that ''took over Africa''.

China is TRADING with Africa.

That guy complaining in parliament. Ask him this question. If HE happened to be living on a muddy street with no tarred surface, and had to wade through that mud every day to work, and a choice arose as to whether he would rather have that bad road forever, or a brand new tarred road with a debt attached to it, which would he choose? I think he'll choose the latter. Particularly if non-payment of the debt will not prevent his use of that road.

The fact that INFRASTRUCTURE is being built is ALL THAT MATTERS.

When it is time to fight them over the so-called debt, we will fight them. FOR NOW, we must have that INFRASTRUCTURE, or we are nowhere.

You people underestimate the value of infrastructure in building societies and continents. Today, Ethiopia and Eritrea that have been fighting each other for decades, are now collaborating economically, driven by Chinese-built infrastructure, like the massive network now connecting the two nations by high speed rail.

I mean, This is what we need in Africa. We will owe China. No problem. The benefits of the infrastructural transformation of Africa far outweigh any debt issues.

Believe you me, if AFRICA had top notch infrastructure, ie electricity, roads, water, we will pay China that debt in under 20 years. The continent has so many resources, human and material. All it needs is the infrastructure, and it is FINALLY getting it.

I just don’t like his music, I grew up listening to 90s rap. I just don’t like MJ’s music.


Wizkid releases street music, which is appealing. It might not survive through ages but it sure does make us dance, nod and sing along.

Michael has something for everyone. You mean to say you don't like THIS?

That wasn't the answer he was expecting.

In fact, he never expected it.

He wanted the truth, and he got it.

I think a lot of what Buhari is doing will benefit the nation in the long term.

CSTR1005:
Between the Jonathan and buhari administration, which do you think is better?

You are the only one here I trust to give an honest opinion.

For me, the Buhari administration is a more serious and focused govt.

And far less corrupt.

It is a meaningless statistic.

What 1 dollar can buy in Nigeria, 20 dollars cannot buy in America.

A plate of food in a Nigerian canteen costs under dollar.

A plate of food in an American canteen costs not less than ten dollars.

Same applies to other areas like rent, transport, clothes, fuel etc.

Also, a lot of value in Nigeria is not quantified in dollar terms. A farmer's harvest for instance. The contents of a barn of yams in your village compound would probably sell for a thousand dollars in America. But would sell for maybe a hundred dollars in Nigeria.

In real terms, or Purchasing Power Parity, I'd say most Nigerians live on more than ten dollars a day.

Your master is doing a great job oh. Some times I realize Nigeria is like a prostitute that every loose Fulani bigot feels entitled to do rounds with. keep supporting your paymaster enh ... moronic imbe.cile

It is all about ''support'', politics, and ethnicity for you.

Whether hungry children eat or not is irrelevant to you.

Animal in human skin.

seunmsg:
Makes little or no difference since the airport still remains in Zambia. There could be concerns regarding national security though.

Foreigners have managed critical infrastructures in Nigeria and other countries without any outcry, this won't be different. Borrowing from China is still better than conditional loans from World bank that we've been collecting for years without anything to show for it.

I am not in support of unrestrained borrowing but if we must borrow to develop infrastructure, then, China is a better option.

Thank you very much. This is why I use the tiny road in a slum example. For countless years a man lives on an untarred, muddy road that makes business activities impossible, and increases poverty and terrible living standards. A Chinese built road appears a week later. The place is transformed.

Is it better for that man to live without the road, and be without debt, or to have the brand new road, and be in debt?

I'D CHOOSE THE LATTER ANYDAY.

You are talking like a stupid character.
Even when are taking huge loans to sustain this evil programs. Don't worry keep feeding foreigners for the sake of votes. When this country goes bad we will see what your dull skull will spin out then.

What research have you conducted to ascertain the percentage of recipeints of the feeding program who may be foreigners?

Need I ask?

Of course the answer is zero..... Moro.n.

CodeTemplar:
What stops your sick mind from pushing for a proper identification of true Nigerians?

That should be done independently of providing welfare services to the poorest Nigerians. You do not refuse to feed your children because a stranger may be among them.

Mgbadike80:
No economist in his right senses would call sharing money and food a development project talk more of a sustainable development project. The right name for it is propaganda and a cover for corruption, simple and short. And that's my last response to you. We all know that you can argue around all night against a visible truth because that's what you're employed and paid to do.

You reason like a brute. The MOST IMPORTANT aspect of government is improving the nation's Human Development Index, or HDI, through inter alia, providing welfare services to the most needy and vulnerable in society.

It is so easy for overfed people like you to go around saying it is wrong to feed the hungry. I bet you call yourself a christian too, and donate money to your pastor in church to buy his private jets, yet you frown on feeding poor school children of 10 years old. Disgusting person.

CodeTemplar:
You should be smarter than just composing sentences with heavy words.

How can any right thinking government be doing such social warfare scheme in a nation with porous borders. Are you aware Hausa is being spoken all over sahara Africa to as far as Mali? Now with a porour border and and desertification in most of those countries speaking Hausa, they are constantly migrating into Nigeria and the desperate copy and paste govt we have who are hell bent on selling the narrative of Nigeria being a rich nation to brainwashed folks can't realize it would be more appropriate to secure the borders and know who is a Nigerian before trying to give foods to alleged poor people.

You guys who @ss lick politicians need to have you brains checked more often than you realize.

No. YOU check your own IQ. So because our borders are porous, there should be no welfare scheme for poor Nigerians, just in case a few of the recipients might be illegal immigrants? See how dumb you sound? The USA has over 11 million illegal immigrants, and has very porous borders. Can you imagine them stopping welfare schemes to Americans because of this?

Mgbadike80:
chairman, no sane country goes about borrowing money to feed school children in peace times, sane countries borrow to invest in profitable and sustainable projects that would generate good jobs for both the present and future generations. I won't return your personal insults but you can do your inglorious job without resorting to insults on a faceless forum.

The US is the biggest debtor nation in the world, owing trillions of dollars to China and other countries. Much of that money goes towards maintaining subsidized healthcare, food stamps, and welfare benefits. So you are WRONG.

Oh, and FEEDING school children IS ''investing in profitable and sustainable projects'' because the quality of life of our children MATTERS to the country's future.

theoldpretender:
And don't insult people you disagree with.

Respond with facts, not with insults.

You called me names...when I posited a fact....so I called you a god since you are all knowing.

Anyway....next time, be more polished in your response. You could end up facing a major discomfort if you aren't.

Ta ra.

You need to use your brain before quoting foreign-invented statistics. Explain how Nigeria has 144 million active phone lines if the majority live on less than a dollar a day. And you can take your nasty threat and stick it up your ass.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/257906-active-mobile-lines-nigeria-hit-144-million-december-ncc.html

Even the entire ''dollar a day'' calculation makes no sense. What one dollar will buy in Nigeria, twenty dollars cannot buy in America.

For instance a plate of Eba and Egusi in Nigeria will cost you maybe a dollar at a cafe. In America it will cost you over twenty dollars at a Naija restaurant.

theoldpretender:
Good evening, god.

You don't need to be God to use your brain. I guess it is the white man that told you that lie that is your God. Ewu.

theoldpretender:
Most Sierra Leoneans, Liberians, Chadians, Ghanaians, Ethopians and Cameronians survive on less than $1 a day

NO THEY DON'T. IGNORAMUS. ''Most'' of those people, like Nigerians, live on FAR MORE THAN $1 a day, you clueless DULLARD.

Digitalwitch:
But the so called Nigerians can buy smartphone worth 20k more than the minimum wage

Don't mind them. Nigeria has over 120 million phone lines connected, the largest in Africa.

How is that possible if majority of us live on less than 1 dollar a day? That is just Phone o. Not to mention food, rent, school fees, clothes, transport. Mumu people.

iammo:
$1 per day is N10,800 per month. how much is fuel attendants, salesgirls and petty traders earning, how much is the minimum wage? how much do corpers earn? how much do police constable to sergeant earn? don't this people also have dependant who don't even earn anything.

Now subtract the salary of average Nigerian workers and traders from Rent cost and transport. and honestly tell me how many people in Nigeria leave above $1.90 per day

Don't mind them. It is too tasking for them to engage heir own faculties to decipher the truth. If the World Bank came out and said that most Nigerians survive on less than 5 Naira a day, they will still come here and regurgitate that statistic without question. Thoughtless robots.

LuciferKristi:
It's not about the cost. It's whether the citizens can afford it.

Most Nigerians survive on less than $1 daily, how many can afford fuel at its current cost?

Come on will you shut up your mouth. ''Most Nigerians survive on less than $1 daily''. Is that what some stupid white man's statistics taught you? You cannot use your own brain to know that that statistic has to be totally false otherwise we would have food aid trucks from UNICEF and the Red Cross on every street in the country? MUMU. Instead of regurgitating nonsensical statistics, use your brain, and know what to reject and what to accept.

Teacher1776:
Its obvious the British are no longer comfortable with Buhari, particularly due to his age and his incessant travelling abroad on health grounds. It all started with the leaking of Trump statement on Buhari, calling him "lifeless", after that, the visits by the British PM and later the German chancellor, probably to mount pressure on him not to re-contest. Realising that the west is opposed to his re-election bid, Buhari, cap in hand, has run to China to beg the Chinese government, his business partner, to give him support.
But meanwhile, the British is shopping for a viable replacement for the ailing president.
So much is currently going on behind the scene.
Power is not everything. It is the only thing.

Look at you. Slave Goat. You are not ashamed to say that ''meanwhile, the British is shopping for a viable replacement for the ailing president''.

Can the Nigerian ambassador to the UK ''shop for a viable replacement'' for Theresa May?

Will it even occur to him to try that?

Slaves revelling in their slavery.

Bakrabas:
They are far better than Nigeria, far far better

They have a population of just ten million, and have EIGHT TIMES the oil reserves of Nigeria, and export THREE TIMES more oil per annum than Nigeria.

Why will they not be able to live like kings?

tete7000:
If they swap continent with you, they will positively transform yours while you will end up destroying theirs.

By the magic of their white skin, correct? You are an ignorant oaf. Why did they not transform Nigeria during their hundred year rule of the country?

At their departure we didn't even have a national grid or any power stations or universities.

But white people use mortar and pestle.

What are you people talking about?

Look, they can even train you on how to use it well. See video below.

They value it more for producing quality dishes, than blenders:

Here's a quick video by famous British chef Jamie Oliver with his traditional British mortar and pestle.

Homeboiy:
And e come be relegated team he signed for

Exactly. He was so desperate that he signed for a Championship team just before the world cup. He should have waited till after the tournament. He would have got a better deal at a better club, based on his performances at the mundial.
