Donpre:
Nothing sickens me more than acclaimed patriotic Nigerians. "Despite corruption"?

"despite corruption" indeed.

Lagos is a sh!thole like everywhere else.
Corruption in Nigeria is not a government problem. It's a systemic problem. The average Nigerian likes to cut corners. Those in public offices create or maintain inefficiencies to let corruption thrive.
We take kids out of strict schools and put them in miracle centres, we bribe for NYSC posting, we bribe for job consideration. We bribe for everything. Even online we use fake identities on freelance sites, payment platforms.
I've always known this country is basically hopeless when I noticed one school wrote answers on the board for JSSCE.
The country being badly run doesn't mean someone should prefer their tax money goes to an American company instead of their country.
As inefficient as Nigeria has been I can't claim to not enjoy anything from the State.

Is this really up for debate? When you pay tax abroad, don't you see what they use it for? Wo abeg I'm not up for this. Pay ur tax make I pay my own.
Have you seen Americans complaining about not having universal healthcare? Have you heard their lamentations about how their government is heavily indebted but wasting money on military expenditure while they have homeless people and vets? I'm pretty sure a lot of Americans also have reasons to not pay taxes if it was an option.
Personally I've always believed because Nigerians escape taxes a lot we still have that free oyel money attitude & that's why we not only allow politicians and civil servants steal but also pray it gets to our turn.

Pointless debate, I've sat in FIRS meeting in Abuja and I'll tell you for free, they are eating your tax, I was to build something to stop it, and those eating money blocked us. Japa if you can.
No one can eat all the taxes collected in Nigeria. Otherwise, customs & FIRS will be reporting no taxes. Even in the West, Americans complain of their government wasting monies on unnecessary wars & still pay their taxes. While it doesn't justify it, there's almost always some level of wastage.

All the ones you've been paying how many roads have they fixed for u?
I have roads where I live. Ask your government.
And you cannot claim to only drive through untarred roads even if you think your government is irresponsible.

Rate is the main thing.

What is the rate per $ ?
Not cheap. But again, you either want available dollar at market rate or subsidised one that's unavailable.

This is Nigeria, as a musician (especially) nobody gives a fck about you because your music no they enticing to them (you no dy show nyash and breast).
But play davido or aseke video when everybody naked and watch Nigerians sing and jump in excitement.

Happy birthday.
People like songs even before the videos are out. Abeg, step aside with the cap. There are meaningful songs on YouTube with 100s of millions of views.
Politics › Re: Germany And Nigeria Population In 1980 Compared To Now by samsard(m): 1:00pm On Jul 12, 2023
Tunechi5:
honestly ,dont think population is our problem ,what nigeria needs is a good leader, more population more manpower, US is prime example ,other than population what do they have?
Lmao. You sound ridiculous. The USA is about 10 times larger than Nigeria with only about twice our population. What makes you think the USA has no natural resources? They just consume way too much because of industrialisation.
Do you want to know what the USA has? A highly skilled population. Their companies own the patents to the most advanced technology on this planet. What do we have? 200 million people with several out of school children, uneducated adult with a non-existent science and technology landscape. The USA can also attract talents from other countries. Nigeria exports the few it has.
The USA produces over 12 million barrels of crude per day. That's at least six time Nigeria's peak production and probably over 10 times our current daily production.

Read your comment slowly where you tried to justified cold murder & stated you'd murder someone regardless of the justice system? Or you're trying to achieve something else?

Why do you think a popular celebrity being caught doing drugs should be of no concern to a doctor of all people? Nigerians will normalize and justify the abnormal as long as it suits them in the situation.

If he was truly guilty of the crime his killer accused him of, then I'm solemnly behind and in full support of Alfa actions. Whoever crossed my family and split any of their blood, I will come for you no matter how long it takes... even if you returned from jail millions years later. I'm incapable of forgiveness when life is involved.

If truly he wasn't guilty, then his family member should traced Alfa and served him justice.

Whoever kill should be killed, jail is an injustice.
I suppose an impartial law court is for decoration according to you and the people that liked your comment?
It's like the blasphemy issue where anyone with a grouse against you could accuse you of blasphemy and you'd even be dead before you defend yourself.
I work from home. If someone believed I'm doing Yahoo Plus and thinks I'm responsible for something I have no idea about and kills me people like you will be conscienceless enough to entertain the idea that my murder is somewhat justifiable.

tonytony208:
Due to rise in DSTV subscription charges, I'm considering opting for Netflix.

Please, how can I go about it?

How can I connect my smartphone to an ordinary flat screen TV?

The TV has HDMI port.
Buy a "Chromecast with Google TV" dongle. It'll enable you to use smart features.
Check Jumia for it or anywhere they sell things like that.

International Jobs or verifications always require any of International passport, driver's licence or national ID. I have never seen voter's card as an option for verification and I have used several platforms so far.

Do you have the card added on PayPal already? If not, I'm not sure you can add it now unless they allow dollar payments on the Naira card to enable adding it.

Well, there was a tribe that started it first. Believing that they have Monopoly of cyberbullying and harassment. It's typical of them to be sending messages that can be intimidating or threatening in nature. But they forget that there's another tribe that owns the Media 😂🙌, I come in peace 🙏
No tribe started anything first. It's the same toxic politics of tribalism that exists offline that seeped into the internet and because everyone is faceless here people speak without repercussion. Even people who have no direction in their life offline make it a full-time job to sling tribal mud.

Na this kind post made me fell in love with Nairaland and not what we have been seeing lately.
Thank you, OP.

This is so educative
Nairaland now is ethnic & religious mudslinging. Even political/economic issues that can be discussed critically become watered down to insults on Tinubu, Obi, and Atiku. It's like everyone has become a bitter and thoughtless machine.

France is governed on a french constitution (a christian constitution).

if the king of Saudi Arabia wins an election in France today, he will be sworn in on a french constitution and not Islam.

This is what you will find in all developed nations except Africa where both Islam and Christianity are headbutting themselves
France is a secular state like America, Great Britain and just about every western nation. They were historically Christian but now separate church from state. Religion is a private affair.

The french only made available provisions for other religion and tribes to flourish and cohabitate.


if you win an election as a Muslim/Arab of north African origin, you will be sworn in with a french constitution (a christian construction).


Stop deceiving people here!
What do you mean by a "Christian construction"? Were you expecting them to overhaul their constitution overnight? France is a very liberal Western country and has lower church attendance numbers than Nigeria. If Western countries were so Christian at this point, gay marriage would not be debatable. Do you want a proper state that has a state religion? Well, you have the Vatican. There are no Christian Republics like there are Islamic ones. Most Western countries are evolving into states without religion.

Are you trying to be deliberately obtuse? Don't you know there are Black french citizens of Muslim/Arab and north African origin or who have unique communities? Or do you think every French citizen is of European descent and Christian?

This is why I’m praying so hard for this nation to disintegrate make everybody go there way

Because if Yoruba Hausa Igbo etc has their own country their citizens will be so United in one accord to revolt against any bad governance

Operation hold your tribes man responsible

But this kind of protest can’t happen in Nigeria with series of tribes languages and religion

Tribe A will be planning on national protest and the politicians in Tribe B & Tribe C will go and tell their people another to counter a protest that will benefit the people

Hausas are not even that scared to go but na the other tribe wey dey steady beg for unity

Tuehh
France has several races, cultures, & religion.

So unfortunate every discussion on nairaland now must have religious or tribal coloration. Don't be surprised the tribal warlords here can hardly boast of three square meals, yet all they care to discuss is which tribe is better.
Honestly, this is a very sad thing about Nairaland. I came into the thread to read success stories or the start of success and I met ethnic supremacists instead throwing jibes. I won't be surprised if some of these guys have no life outside Nairaland.

You are not calling out govt when you criminally defame and cyberbully others. You are actually breaking the law and it's the job of govt to enforce the laws. If you do it and get away today, tomorrow you will be the victim of another cyberbully and criminal defamer.

Critics are intelligent people courted even by govt because they use facts to influence public opinion. You can't move any needle by committing crimes online.
At the bolded, criticism no matter how constructive is not welcome in an AUTHORITARIAN STATE. If you doubt that, try criticising the government in any authoritarian state. I don't know how you came to the generous assumption that governments are always made up reasonable and selfless people.
