Doubling down on IGNORANCE, that's the Nigerian way. As you guys have said indeed, una no go gree for anybody this year, but you've actually never been comfortable with truth at ANY time in your national history. Why not calm down and learn? If you're on Nairaland putting in time, reading and typing about Nigeria, you should be grateful for the truth.

Nigerians have an exaggerated opinion of their national wealth. You remind me of this fellow on a thread who claimed Shell made a profit of $20 billion from Nigeria alone in 2021
Here's PART of our exchange:
https://www.nairaland.com/7249943/senate-invite-emefiele-over-naira/9#115156689



My reply to him was -

When we're talking electricity 24hrs, you must be referring to solar systems. True, they exist in Nigeria but VERY FEW have them. There's some people on this forum involved in that business in Nigeria, I bet if they cared to make a comment here they would tell you many of their customers are diasporans. In fact anyone involved in anything to do with building construction and such trades in Nigeria will likely confirm that fact.

The richest Nigerians are NOT based in Nigeria. I've done a long explanation on how I know. It's simple to figure out. Just one outstanding example is TY Danjuma. He's one of a handful of dollar billionaires in Nigeria. He doesn't live in Nigeria, neither does his daughter who is likely to inherit his businesses.

The day I figured out the thing rich people are doing in Nigeria, I was very pleased. All you have to know is that the UK & Europe is 6 hours flight and USA is 12 hours. These rich people show up for public events and go to their village once in a while and it gives the impression they're in Nigeria. When I was little, I remember you would go by some of these mega mansions, when you talk to the gate man they would always say "Ah, Oga travelled". It was only when I got to be an adult that it dawned on me that Oga travelled ABROAD and LIVES abroad to make money. In an earlier discussion I named such people from my own hometown.

Oh, you must always remember how poor your Federal Government is, their revenue is $15 billion per year. The Federal budget of Nigeria has NEVER been more than $40 billion since the return to democracy. Not only that, the TOTAL REVENUES of ALL STATES plus Federal Government isn't up to $30 billion. That's the ENTIRE FEDERATION revenue, it's about equal to remittances from abroad.

Sorry I had to burst your bubble.

Bottom line - You're IGNORANT. In this you're not alone. My advice to you if you care, is go and get informed. Internet will help you.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

@Donaldoni....Well if Nigerians are so prosperous, how come so many are eager to migrate to WesternEurope & North America?

As for Nigerians being rich, it only applies to a few. Very, very few. The UN or World Bank didn't wake up and crown Nigeria the Poverty Capital of the World. They used data.

In your rich Nigeria only 7% of Lagosians have indoor running water AND flush toilets, not to talk of the rest of Nigeria.

How many Nigerians have access to 24hr electricity?

So it takes a currency crisis to prove how rich Nigerians are? How stupid is that? Those sacks of naira Nigerians were bringing out lost over HALF their value in less than 1 year.

Then you made the craziest comment -



This shows you have an exaggerated view of your country and most Nigerians are just like you. No wonder you think Nigerians are rich.

If you're interested in the Nigerian economy and how it works, you should go familiarize yourself with simple data. That's what the White Man invented the internet for.

BudgIT is likely the most reputable recorder of Government finances in Nigeria. Here's your Federal revenue and spending for 2023.

https://budgit.org/post_infographics/2023-approved-budget/

Total Revenue is ₦10.5 Trillion Using a very generous rate of ₦700/1$, it translates to a total gross Federal Government revenue of $15 billion.

$15 billion is much less than diaspora remittances of $26 billion. Which is why your CBN Governor said remittances are vital for the Nigerian economy. This is one of the reasons migration is so popular, these figures give a real basis for what people feel, why they DO what they do even if they don't know.

I've come across proud Nigerian attitudes like yours so many times. Like the guy who was claiming that Shell made $200 billion profit in Nigeria. I had a long argument here, I simply went on Shell website and pulled the numbers.

You all need to go and get enlightened. Very different from educated. No wonder Nigeria is the Poverty Capital of the World.

Good Luck to Nigerians

IbeOkehie:


That Nigerians spend that amount of money abroad is proof that Nigeria doesn't have basic necessities of middle class life. Poor quality in every sector - education, healthcare, security, energy availability and on and on. You have to go abroad to buy it.

I'm not one of those who denigrate Nigerians at home. I have friends in Nigeria who earn $1K per day. I hope we're all educated here, it about PROBABILITY for everyone, not cherry picked outliers. Nigeria is the official Poverty Capital of the World.

The diaspora remits more money than your entire Federal Government of Nigeria gets in revenue. Think about that. That's a national government with a revenue base of over 150 million people.

Do the comparison. How many Nigerians earn $1300 per year? That's about ₦200K per month. Hmmm? Data from PWC and other sources are clear...only 0.4% of Nigerians earn over ₦200K per month . That's what diaporans send home as gift to their relatives.

Anyway your Central Bank Governor has already admitted that diaspora remittances are a major pillar of the Nigerian economy. Go and argue with him.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

By Ignatius Igwe

More reactions keep trailing the list of alleged terrorism financiers released by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) as well as the tragic murder of 17 military personnel in Delta State on March 14, 2024. While the military says investigations are ongoing, a former Commander of Operation Safe Haven in Plateau State, Major General Henry Ayoola (retd), described it as an assault on the Nigerian state. He was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme during the week.


Excerpts:

Give us a sense of what happened in Okuama community and within the security circle. There are a lot of talk about the implications, what could have led to the attack and the dynamics of this. For someone like you who has led troops in similar terrain, what came to your mind when you heard the story?

Thank you very much. I will start by commiserating with the families of these gallant officers and soldiers who were gruesomely murdered in a very unusual way in a tragedy. It’s anathema. It’s a terrible thing that shouldn’t have happened at all. I just joined all members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria and including those of us who are outside the service to commiserate with the families of the deceased personnel. We pray and trust that God will comfort the bereaved ones and that this kind of thing should never happen to us as a nation again.

I also like to correct the numbers that are being bandied around. The actual number is 17 in total – the commanding officer who is a lieutenant colonel, two majors, one captain and 13 soldiers, making 17. The issue of human lives cannot be something we will be approximating so we need to be correct about it; it is 17 precious lives.

What comes readily to my mind is: it is a sad load for me, for us, for our country to be in this state. I mean, as somebody who has seen the nation and been around the military sector for over 50 years, I asked myself: How did we get here? You know, how did we get here as a nation? When I was commanding Operation Safe Haven, we have had near such disasters before because what has happened over time is that our nation has lost touch with values, with ethics, with character. What we are seeing is a harvest of long-time failure of parental responsibilities, societal responsibility, of nurturing and upbringing. It’s a case that has gone through a cycle where you had parents who perhaps were not properly brought up and now become parents themselves. It’s sure to happen that way because the law of sowing and reaping applies in all situations, nobody beats it. What is done more greatly in one generation will be done in excess in the next. That’s how it works and that’s what we’re seeing. It’s a sorry state for us to be but I think it’s a clarion call for all of us to wake up and begin to address the real issues.

We’ve done a lot of palliatives, dodging the issues and tolerating things that should have been decisively dealt with over the years. It’s not just something that is happening. What we’ve seen is a habit of several years of negligence, several years of padding things that should have been frontally dealt with. And that’s what we’re seeing now, where you have a situation that the level of civil disobedience has escalated to news not even being deterred by the fact that these are uniformed men and should be respected. It’s an assault on the state, it’s an assault on our collective psyche. It’s something that should outrage everyone of us and nobody should make any attempt to play down on it at all. It’s a wakeup call, we should all wake up and smell the coffee and say: ‘This cycle should end here.’ This cycle of bloodletting, this vicious circle of lawlessness at its peak should come to an end here and everybody should come into this fight.

It is so sad, the brazen attack and the killing of men in uniform. The situation, according to those who know, says it’s a matter of a land dispute and you wonder the role of the military in this kind of situation. Has this been the procedure for the military to be called into this kind of civil engagement or what do you think could have been? Is it a normal procedure for the officers to be involved in this kind of situation at night? What could have gone wrong with this?

Let’s look at it realistically, the truth of it is that our nation is not in the normal state. I mean, the fact that virtually every state in the country today has one military operation or the other tells you that we are not in a normal state. If not, then, why do we have operation this, operation that in all the states? It means we have crossed that threshold of what the normal civil enforcement agencies can handle. That’s what it means. We have been the same people putting so much pressure on the Armed Forces and say, even for non-kinetic measures, the soft-power options and all of that.

Of course, the commanding officer would have thought to nip an obviously boiling issue before it escalates. There can be a thousand and one argument as to whether there was a tactical error or not. It doesn’t matter if a mistake was made. That a set of youths somewhere will have the audacity and the recklessness not to even spare people in uniform who have laid down their lives for the benefit of the rest of us? That level of temerity should not be tolerated. That’s my take on it.

One can only imagine if this is not properly managed, a kind of aggression and a kind of reaction that could have come naturally if it’s not well–managed from the military.

When I was on Operation Safe Haven, we held peace palace almost every week because it was clear that this was not just purely a security challenge. And so there was a need to engage different groups of people, different age groups, different ethnic groups, and different religious groups, all in an attempt to find a solution. In Yoruba, there is a proverb that when something is lost, you search for it anyhow. When you are trying to find a solution to very abnormal situations, you cross several lines, you bend backwards, you lower yourself to even, more or less becoming a preacher even though you are in uniform, you do everything because you want a solution. And if the solution is going to come by the softpower method, by the peace approach, why not? we have been too long in this state as a nation. If you imagine the amount of money that have been spent for the various operations that have been on in the country for over 20 years, those kinds of money will have been used to develop our infrastructure. So the military officers are aware of these things. They are not happy being out there doing what ordinarily should have been police work, nobody is happy with that. That’s the reality on the ground.

Let me take you to the terrorism financiers’ list that was released by the authorities which listed about 15 persons and firms alleged to be involved in terror financing and are being listed for sanctions. What do you make of this?

Nigeria has been battling to kill terrorism for over 20 years now from the northeast region. And now we’re seeing some active roles of these terror gangs within the northwest region of the country in the name of banditry.

Now, one of those persons is facing a trial over alleged link to the train attack in Kaduna. Tukur Mamu in this particular situation. What comes to mind when you heard that the Buhari government had said it would release the list of terror financiers but for eight years that never happened.

I think this is one place that we should give a pat on the back to the current government (the Bola Tinubu administration). I was on the edge severally during the last regime. There was lack of national will to deal with this situation at the time. It is good to see a government that is showing a stronger will to deal with these situations. I have said it again and again, that what we have is a political strategic problem masquerading as security challenges. I’ve said that 1001 times. In my analysis of insurgency and terrorism, I’ve talked about eight essays and indeed, one of the essays is what is coming out now – sponsors – because out of the eight essays, all the approaches we have applied in trying to solve the insurgency and terrorism in the country are just about two components of those eight. So adding this third one to it will go a long way because it’s like we’ve been dodging the issue. It’s like we’ve been dodging naming the enemy, naming the adversaries behind this problem. Are we saying that the gates of hell were open suddenly and Nigeria is just having these all-around security challenges coming? Is it that aliens were sent from some abyss to come and attack Nigeria all at the same time?

Jesus said for being peaceable and friendly his disciples will be the talk of the whole world {Matthew 5:14-16} yet they will be hated for his sake {Matthew 24:9} because they will always stick to what he taught them! John 15:19

So even though they're relatively small in number across the globe they're a formidable force that all people must reckon with!

SultanOfAbia:
I have never seen a religion so divided like Christianity..

Pentecostal, Adventist,catholic,protestant, Methodist,Anglican, cherubim, Jehovah witness...etc

Dem go come dey compete among themselves
Who is more closer to Jesus

If Christians can't come together as one and stop dividing into different business centers.
Then it means you all are not following Jesus

Sabbath day is on Sunday

But some werey say it's on Saturday

Jesus was crucified in both hands on the cross

But Jehovah witness say no be Cross
Say na Nepa pole Dem use crucify Jesus

Too many division and man made doctrines
And everybody thinks their own church is superior

We love box braids and mini twists, but there’s a growing demand for bigger and bolder looks this year. According to Pinterest, the search for ‘big braids hairstyles’ is up by 30 percent, with many looking to try more statement braids like the design stitch braids.

In case you don’t have the time to mindlessly scroll through hundreds of hairdos, we compiled 27 big braids hairstyles we predict are going to be everywhere in 2024. We also tapped hairstylists to share their favorite looks and tips for recreating them right at home.

1. Large Knotless Braids
Zendaya turned heads with these knotless braids at the CFDA Awards—and we’re still talking about them. According to Sands, your stylist will create this look by parting your hair into large sections before applying a strong hold gel and braiding your natural hair. Next, they’ll begin feeding in hair extensions to make a thicker braid. “[People of all] hair types and densities can wear this hairstyle. However, [you need] at least three inches of hair to properly install this style,” adds Sands.

2. Lob
A lob (aka a long bob) will always be stylish and a braided version is even more stunning. According to our experts, you want to find a length that flatters your face shape and then you can style the lob in a variety of ways. “If you want it to be chin-length, consider leaving the ends unfinished for a gentle flip or extend them to shoulder-length for a chic lob,” says May. Adding a side part or some dazzling accessories on the ends can give the look a nice finishing touch.

3. Fo'Hawk
Janelle Monae proves you can add a bit of edge to your big braids hairstyle. The singer rocks an intricate braid in the center, adorned with rings and her sides are left completely smooth to mimic a mohawk.

4. Singular Braid Updo
Whether you’re attending a wedding or simply looking for a hairstyle that keeps your strands from sticking to your neck, this updo should be saved in your inspo folder. Once you create a high braided pony, drape the tail across your head and pin the ends back for an elegant updo.

5. Tousled Ponytail
If you have straight or looser waves, this tousled look should be on your radar. To emulate Blake Lively’s style, don’t spend too much time making it pristine. The messier, the better.

6. Cornrows
Like box braids, cornrows can be a versatile hairstyle to try out. It’s up to you how many rows of braids and how far apart you want them. To recreate Tracee Ellis Ross’ look, part your hair into five sections and start braiding them down towards the nape of your neck. Then, gather the ends into a low bun for a casual look.

7. Bohemian Braids
This style continues to be a popular choice regardless of the season. As Sands explains, “This [look] is achieved by parting the hair and braiding using extensions. A thin wavy extension is added throughout the braiding process and remains outside of the braid for a waterfall look. It’s so beautiful!”

8. Lengthy Cornrows
As mentioned, cornrows can be customized to your style. Consider playing with length like Ross and showing off cascading braids that fall past your waist.

9. Fishtail Braid
Here’s your sign to step your braiding game and try out a fishtail style. Create a low ponytail like Lucy Liu above and refer to this handy tutorial to recreate the look on yourself.

10. Low Ponytail
The low pony can be turned into any style (i.e., double twist, French or fishtail) and it can be decorated with snazzy accessories, as Aja Naomi King shows us. If you have shorter locks, add some extensions or reach for a hair piece to get in on the fun.

11. Half-up, Half Down
Kelly Rowland proves that box braids can change into any look. Case in point: This half-up, half down style. Section your hair and gather the top half into a high ponytail, while leaving the rest down.

12. Red High Pony
If you’ve been eyeing a new hair color, let Keke Palmer persuade you to make the change. Her bold red hue elevates her big braids hairstyle and the high pony brings it to the next level.

13. Milkmaid Braids
This elevated version of a crown braid is simple to recreate at home. Once you divide your hair into two pigtails, start braiding each tail before overlapping each section and pinning in place. Finish off the style by leaving two wavy tendrils out for a more casual style. (If you need more guidance, here’s a step-by-step video to get you started.)

14. The Tendy
This latest trend requires just one step: Leave one tendril out. As Potempa told us recently, “A tendy is a tendril of hair used to frame the face on just one side, as opposed to two tendrils framing the face on both sides. It gives your hair a fashionable edge with its asymmetry.” This small detail can make a huge difference to your look.

15. Halo Bread
Wrap one big braid around your head and use a few bobby pins to secure the look in place. You might need to brush up on your Dutch braiding skills, but luckily we have you covered.

16. Jumbo Updo
Presenting an updo worthy of any formal events you have coming up. The intricately woven jumbo braids follow angled lines that draw the eyes all the way up to the high bun on top.

17. Pigtails
Janelle Monae proves that you can rock pigtails as an adult. To recreate the look, simply divide your hair into two low ponytails, then braid them into any style you want. Don’t forget to secure the ends with hair ties and add some jewels so you’ll shine all night long.

18. Senegalese Twists
Show your braider these chic twists seen on Kerry Washington above. Or you can attempt it yourself with a comb, some styling gel and elastic bands. Use the comb to section off your hair, gel for twisting each braid and an elastic band to secure the ends. Have fun dressing it down or whipping it into other hairstyles (like a high pony or a half-up, half-down look).

19. Side Braid
A side part and a side braid? talk about a hairstyle worthy of red carpets and brunch dates with friends.

20. Wavy Ends
Florget the rules. If you have thicker strands like Lupita, this look works by braiding at the roots and stopping mid-length to let the rest of your waves flow down to create a unique finish.

21. Design Stitch Braids
This early aughts style is making a comeback and getting a major update a la the designed edges as seen on Ashanti above. As Sands explains, “​​These braids are created using the stitch-in braiding technique, which involves sectioning the hair into thin or thick horizontal lines and braiding them into cornrows using hair extensions. The result is a stunning and unique stitched look that sets stitch braids apart from other big braided hairstyles.”

22. Dutch Braids
We’ve established the Dutch braid is a quick and easy style (see: #14), so recreate this one sported by Danai Guiria.

23. High Pony
There’s your regular high pony and then there’s this braided version that takes things up a notch. Make like Susan Kelechi Watson and secure a ponytail at the highest point of your head before braiding it all the way down to your shoulders.

24. Short Side Pony
If you have short hair, consider this side pony style. Use a boar bristle brush to smooth your hair over to one side, before tying it into a pony and adding three big braids like Yara Shahidi.

25. Bubble Braids
This trendy hairstyle continues to be popular year after year. If you want to look as amazing as Gold Rosheuvel, tie your hair up into a high ponytail before breaking the tail up into ‘bubbles’ using elastics. Tip: Use your fingers to tease out the bubbles and give them more volume.

26. Bob
Braids and bobs are a match made in hair heaven. Danai Guiria takes the look one step further by rocking combed-out ends with hers on the red carpet.

27. Fishtail High Bun
Trust us, this intricate high bun is worth the time and effort. You’ll need multiple layers of fishtail braids to create the look and a nice styling gel to slick back any flyaways.

All Nigerian Women especially those living in the UK, Europe and America need to learn LOYALTY from Sowore's Wife.

Sowore last week finally joined his wife and 2 children in America after 5 years of enforced captivity by the Nigerian government.

Throughout Sowore's travails, his wife stood by him and below are some of the steps she took to ensure that her husband rejoined her in the US -

1. She complained bitterly to Senator Bob Menendez who used his office to pressure the Nigerian Government as shown in the first video below.
2. She also complained to a member of the US House of Reps Congressman Josh Gottheimer
who also took up Sowore's case and was even part of Sowore's Homecoming celebration party in the US last week. Congressman Gottheimer even brought a gift for Sowore last week.
3. She complained to the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Centre that advocates for human rights issues and pursues strategic litigation to hold governments accountable at home and around the world.
4. She went on live TV programs on CNN and CBS News to talk about her fight to get her husband released from confinement to Abuja.
5. She led protesters to the United Nations Plaza in New York on September 24, 2019 to demand her husbands release.
6. Even when Sowore lost his American Green Card after 1 year of not visiting America, the wife did not give up on him or see it as a reason to declare herself as a single parent in the hope of collecting welfare support for her children and neither did she turn her childrens mind against their father in those 5 long years.
7. Instead she kept Sowore's case on the front burner by constantly reminding Senator Bob Menendez and Congressman Josh Gottheimer of Sowore's inability to leave Abuja talk less of coming back to America since his green card had expired after 1 year.
8. Because she was born in the US, she used that fact plus her UNRELENTING complaints to the 2 US lawmakers mentioned above to impress on the authorities and convince them to allow Sowore come back to re-unite with her and her 2 kids since they all were born in America.
9. Senator Bob Menendez pressured the Nigerian Government on Sowore's case as shown in the first video below and this is all thanks to Sowore's wife not giving up on her husband who was away for 5 years.
10. Sowore's wife ensured her husbands plight was ALWAYS kept on the front burner and this LOYALTY ensured that Sowore was able to reunite with her and their 2 kids last week in America.
11. Also important is that she did NOT turn Sowore's children into his enemies by lying to them, confusing them and brain washing them against THEIR FATHER in those 5 years of Sowore's absence like a LOT of Nigerian women in the UK, Europe and America are fond of doing (for single parent financial support from these foreign Governments) when the husband goes to Nigeria to try his hands at business for just a few months and these women lie to the children that THEIR FATHER has abandoned them.
12. His wife Opeyemi Sowore is the Vice President, Head of Consumer Engagement at Teladoc Health having previously led as executive at American Express, Citigroup and Delta Air Lines. She holds a BA from State University of New York at Binghamton in 1995 and an MBA from the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester in 1997.
13. She has a good job, her own money, was born in America and yet she did not abandon Sowore who was away for 5 years !!!!!!!
14. What a woman. And how lucky Sowore is to have accidentally found such a LOYAL and DUTIFUL wife who loved him genuinely and did NOT give up on him or abandon him when he was stuck in Nigeria for 5 years.
15. Sowore and his wife are now embarking on a second honeymoon with their 2 kids in tow.

BEHIND EVERY HAPPY, ACHIEVING HUSBAND IS A LOYAL WIFE THAT REFUSES TO GIVE UP ON HIM IN TRYING TIMES.
