Don't be surprised they are not so good looking in real life. All this edited and photoshopped pictures. I'm not deceived

true its just hype and I believe the intentionally consider physical beauty as a requirement, most of them are not that beautiful too,just regular looks and them no dey too get shape like that.

chariisGRACE:
Should this even be a topic in democracy?




This statement clearly shows that Buhari is a tyrant.

In a saner democratic clime, this is not even a topic of discussion or argument.

my opinion too, t it clearly reflects the lack of rule of law,buhari does not have any constitutional right to deal with anybody.

OZAOEKPE:
The idiot stole money meant to develop his state and died, after dying you see some goats saying they don't talk ill of the dead. Make he come from hell to come slap me now, useless ajimobi may he not find rest in hell too. He no build hospital in his state only for him to go and die in first cardiology hospital in Lagos.

I am not one of those folks who always say"do not talk I'll of the dead" when there are so many Nigerians who have died as a result of the evil ways and greed of Nigerian leaders. death does not absolve you of your sins and atrocities.

Iceyjays:
That guy is so dumb and foolish believe me, you will be gobsmacked by how dumb he is.

you like to criticise him a lot, I don't consider him dumb tbh.

AntonVince:
Comments like this only lend credence to the fact that Nigeria is indeed not ripe for democracy.

You don't see anything wrong with the president (of all Nigerians) holding a political party meeting at the FEC meeting chambers?
What's the business of Nigerians with the internal affairs of the APC that warrants the use of a public building for their meeting?
Perhaps the PDP, AAC, APGA, KOWA et al should also book the same location for their subsequent meetings.

...and to crown their ignominy, the comic opera even featured a supposed Attorney-General and Nigeria's Minister of Justice administering Oath of Office to a party chieftain!

It's almost certain they also channeled public resources into funding that show-of-shame.

These charlatans in power keep plunging us to new lows and setting terrible precedents with each passing day.
It's unfortunate.

just yesterday I shared the same opinion to a friend of mine,you can imagine how some individuals see nothing wrong in such disgraceful action by the presidency.

stag:
These days, politicians make one wonder what 'philanthropy' really means

I think same too, its public funds converted to personal personal wealth then out of the abundance of your heart or hypocrisy,decides to share a little portion of the looted funds to the original owners.

I hate it when a politician dies or is celebrating a birthday and they talk about their contribution to national development, this folks are all parasites who amass public funds at the detriment of society,Nigeria is poor so that they might be wealthy,the nation has nothing,because they converted everything to their personal fortunes,60 years after independence yet no visible growth and they keep talking about their contribution to national development.

Prinnce1:
I wish we can let down tribalism and born to rule mentally slide and pave way for someone like Akinwumi to be our president for a term than bringing in incompetent people to do a final burial on the half buried Nigeria.

Nigeria is too rich with resources to be this way.

me too if every Nigerian were like me I don't think names like tinubu or buhari etc would ever be considered for leadership or mentioned,we seriously need a change.

Our mobile police can maltreat Chad, but we see them as a sibbling nation.


Unlike the least significant people in SA acting like they are the most significant.

Kingpele:
Chai, if I are a youth and u are still emotionally supporting this crooks in our nation political parties especially PDP and it's counterpart APC, u are under a spell, u need deliverance ASAP..
When obaseki becomes pdp flagbearer on 2020 and the pdp flag bearer in 2016 is today Apc flagbearer I'm 2020 yet u still can't see thier unity of purpose as Association of shameless looters (ASL) u are part of the problem of this country.... 6billion can torn any political party apart

its
quite shameful bros,I feel deep sadness for this nation, the six billion that is the common wealth of the state which is needed for infrastructural development,just given away to individuals like it is their personal property. and there is nothing like APC or PDP all there is in Nigeria is just the oppressor vs the oppressed.

DominusPrime:
The day senators go on strike is the day I will believe Nigeria is changing. Some idiots here blamed Drs for going on strike. They did not blame the system that withheld their pay for two months without justification. They did not blame the system that slashed health and education by about 50% yet slashed NA by just 9%. They did not blame the system that pays a senator or minister newspaper allowance that dwarfs the yearly hazard allowance of Drs. These drs and health workers are exposed to life threatening situations yet they called them greedy, gold diggers etc. When these politicians handle your life the way apc and pdp have handled the country then your eyes will open.

true words the govt has become so useless that we no longer hold them accountable for anything, I won't blame any union who decides to go on strike Nigeria's main problem has always been leadership but yet we hardly hold them accountable for anything.

MASTERCHIEF0847:
Between these two men they stole enough money to put a million youth out of poverty but watch how the same youth abuse each other because of same men.

its the usual way for them always inconsistent, a man who stands for nothing falls for anything and everything eventually.if you open another thread about how developed the rest of the world is compared to nigeria, they will be like "God punish all Nigeria politicians". and then open another one about how tinubu or any other corrupt politician did this or that they will be like " baba himself all hail the king" it's hypocrisy bros they don't hate corruption, they just hate the fact they don't have a sit at the table.

if we call for a debate who will be the panelist?still the same corrupt vultures that has plagued this nation. in movies, you see where people are being fed just to drain their blood those victims are never healthy and are always looking sickly. that is the case of Nigeria right from inception,the nation is just being sustained slightly to remain alive just to continue serving as a conduit pipe for their greed.

Harkstetunz:
If not for Burna boy, the song jerusalema or what is it called wouldn't have gone past the shores of SA. They should be thanking him for giving the song wider publicity

Jerusalema has been a hit in Nigeria for a while now bros,maybe you've been living under a rock,I had it on repeat the first time I heard it,I don't think the remix can match the original.

tyrese should have known better racism is bad in its entirety, doesn't matter the race of the oppressor, or the oppressed.

let us come together as youths with with to make a difference strategically. will you join me

TripleOh7:
MKO Abiola was one of those who stopped the presidential ambition of the late Sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

I'm not sorry MKO was denied the presidency too.

Karma serves us what we deserve.

personally I have never really felt abiola could have been different from the rest of the corrupt nigerian leaders (past & present) you know he was always around the same crop of individuals you Messed up nigeria somehow I am to believe he could have been different the same thing we were made to believe about the clueless,corrupt president we have now.

tillaman:
it’s really crazy how these folks steal our money and still flaunt it to our faces like I stole from you and you can’t do nothing about it

its really sad bro,the abnormal has become normal.

tillaman:
Isn’t this the height of high handedness in this country, he stole 7.9 billion and he is still a serving senator in the country haba, why am I even surprised sef shebi Dansuki and Orji uzor Kalu are now free men, the dirt wey dey our government even Atlantic Ocean nor fit wash am away

you know its only in nigeria where you hear of bullshits like this in every other part of the world the arrest and persecution goes hand in hand,you wonder why things can hardly get better,u hear of forfeiture like it was never a crime to steal,imagine you apprehending a thief in the street and the only punishment he gets is to accept to return his stolen items.

DamnnNiggarr:
Damn Niggarr!

We should be hiding our faces in shame and not defending mediocrity, and thereby giving our leaders false assurance that they have done something worth celebrating,

Who did we offend as Nigerians that we should be treated this way.
Until we stopped celebrating mediocrity and fight for our rights, our leaders will continue to use us to play football, loot our future and send their wards to a world class university,
Not only that, they'll still come back to lead us from where their fathers stopped.

Let us(citizens) change our ways of reasoning and demand for our right.

true when we praise shit ,they'll think that we don't know the standard of things,the world is a global village I have seen nations with less resources make giant stride honestly I can't remember the last time nigeria did or achieved anything that I find impressive.

sassysure:
Going on.
The same university.

No place will u see south Africans comparing universities , not in UK, USA or China.

It's only in the world's poverty capital.

The politicians that made the universities like this sent their kids to the ones I posted their pictures and left you all with crumbs to masturbate on.

Grown up men.

So disappointed.

I schooled in Nigerian university. From.first yr to final yr was always in and out of hospital cos of sickness caused by dirty environment.
Some of the parents that can afford it whisked their kids away to better schools outside Nigeria.
And we are here celebrating nonsense.

thanks Nigeria does not have anything to brag about,most people who celebrate this things are folks who don't even know the standard of things in other part of the world,leadership has failed.this is quite shameful

Raydos:
Chaii guy you fall my hand !!

You can't compare America with any country!!

America has the biggest economy in the whole world, there are some countries that's not known that much, But America is known throughout the world!

That iPhone you're bragging with Is owned by an American company, Iphone is arguably the best phone brand in the world, Almost in every country, What does Nigeria has that is in Every country like that??

Apart from Entertainment, America is doing extremely well in every aspect Of life, from Technology, Music, Movies, Just name it!!

Just don't compare America with any Country

Apart from Entertainment, Tell me another thing that's doing well in Nigeria??

Even south Africa companies are all over nigeria, MTN, ShopRite, Skye Bank and so on!!

We don't even have good roads let alone of Good cities that can boost our tourism that could have made us more popular!!

Should I talk about our electricity? Schools? Security?

Bro you fall my hand!!

we have the potential to be great,but we can't achieve much if we don't tackle our problems,we need to use our energy to tackle poor leadership that has kept this nation on its knees,rather than brag about little things that count less in the grand scheme of things,we lack most of the basics in the 21st century.

James4bright:
Nigeria would always beat South Africans to everything. Our GDP is the highest in the whole of Africa.

I don't know shit about South Africa but y'all know so much about Nigerians. So how can you be more recognized than us. Lol

Which football player has SA produced that can be comparable with Nigerian football players?

Nollywood is recognized world wide. I don't even know if South Africans even have a movie industry. Lol

No one knows anything about South Africans except the fact that they are xenophobic. Xenophobia got y'all famous.

south Africa has a better sport sector just saying.we may have a better national football team but they have a better football league.

yanabasee1:
EU wants to try it's luck with US, their main backbone (British) made them had horns back then.....


I hope it survived this war.....

I would not even consider it a war,its simple logic you can't pull out of an agreement and still expect to have a say on how things are done,USA should just sit this one out.

BluntTheApostle:
Exactly my argument too.

How can we be sure that Floyd was killed for no other reason other than his race?

There may be other reasons but the black community has jumped into conclusion and this conclusion may even divert from the real motive which may even be more serious than racism.

true

tot:
You should also check out the incident of Amy Cooper, the lady who called the cops on an African American man falsely accusing him of threatening her. His saving grace was that he was recording it otherwise a perfectly innocent man would have landed in jail, or even worse been killed simply due to racial bias. Racism is a serious issue, we can't afford to sweep it under the carpet or make excuses for it.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-us-canada-52759502

yeah I read about that,the lady was fired at her workplace, I agree with you much works still needs to be done on racism.

tot:
Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Would the cop have knelt on the neck of an unarmed white man for 8 minutes? Again, the names I mentioned earlier, there was no shared past so please defend those ones as well.

I agree with you that those other deaths might have been an act of racism. but not all police brutality against blacks should be regarded as racism,sometimes it's just police brutality.

tot:
Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Botham Jean...the list goes on. Yet some are here trying to find other reasons . Okay o, continue.

but not all incidents could be tagged racism,what describes racist killing? is it white kill black or is it the motives behind it? the death of George Floyd may not be an act of racism,giving their shared past.

bluefilm:
Nice speech.

But oga, all these things you said doesn't justify a WHITE police officer choking a BLACK unarmed guy to death in the full glare of the public.

I may be black living in a white man's country but that doesn't in any way mean that I am less of a human.

only the suspect know why he did what he did,there were report that both the victim and suspect knew one another,it may be because he is racist or it might have also been simple police brutality, and not because he was black, just saying.

Gwan2:
I am black but you see all this protest by the black community and riots going on freely is simply because of excessive freedom and how liberal the western world had open up to people. I have traveled to 9 countries and I must say, I feel more attached and comfortable mingling with white folks than the blacks.
.
Where in the world aside the western world can you travel from GOd knows where and give birth to a child and the child automatically become a full citizen enjoying same privilege as the indigenous people. Where in the world can you automatically get citizenship by marrying a citizen. I studied in the UK, your child automatically get access to free education, health care and a lot of facilities by the virtue of your student status in the west. A lot of students exploit the system especially those on scholarship by bringing their spouse and children while on study, thereby overstretching the limited resources. Go to the hospital and see indigenous white queuing for appointments that might take close to a month before they get access to see a doctor because a lot of people both foreigners and citizen had booked earlier. They were overwhelmed by such things and displayed decorum in votes to pull out of EU rather than following the path of fellow BLACK xenophobic South Africans displayed some time ago.
.
See, typically the black man in a white man’s country is so sensitive to how the white react, speak or even look at him and point to racism at every instance. I had a friend who worked in a bar and was dismissed because of his carelessness and poor attitude to work...before he left the bar he made sure he created a scene shouting racism racism. They were so courteous not to respond or engage him in a fight because they know most of the black Africans use racism to cover their shits.

.
Now we have phrases like black excellence, black live matters, I am black and proud, black history....flip the coin and say something like white supremacy, white excellence, white rules and hell will be let loose from the black community pointing racism. What sort of inferiority can that be?
.
Lastly, you see this Arab countries or most Asian countries.. nobody do racism pass them, but why don’t the suppressed black population protest...because the freedom is limited and they make sure you understand from your first presence in the country that you are second class to them and nothing can change that. Anyway, as the saying goes...when you give somebody a yard he will later ask for a mile.

A man is only respected and modelled if he earns such. Look at the African continent, the poorest, the most docile, the most disease ravaged, the most corrupt, the most backward...who has ever earned respect by displaying such attributes??

thank you for this, I hold same opinion while the western world is not perfect, it is still the most liberal and receptive in the entire universe,and not all whites are racist,you can see how they make so much effort to even be better and thread carefully when talking about minorities.in Nigeria you see the level of open hate and insensitivity even here on nairaland.its hypocritical to expect the white folks to be perfect,while you are not even making any move to get better.there is nowhere in the world where foreigners enjoy much freedom and tolerance than in the west,they can't possibly be the worst in humanity.

DModeCntStopMe:


So after all these state visits, how have they impacted positively on the masses.

This man has been feeding fat on Nigeria's wealth for a long time.

Meanwhile, bubu after globetrotting round the universe, was only good at attracting South Sudanese, Libya, Chad etc.. Instead of attracting the likes of Trump, he was declared "lifeless" on national t.v by the same Trump

Bubu is a local champion swears.

hate speech lol
