People that have fought their qay out of slavery in a strange land shouldn't take advice from people with no rights in their own all black country. If a police officer shoots you in edo they will even use it to make jokes on this site.

i don't like when Nigerians try to chime in on what they don't know because we haven't even faced our own issues.

Tell them

If you attack and my crew repels things can get very nasty though we don't bear arm I can assure you we have enough weapons in our glossary of appliance. May it never be our portion in Jesus Name. I love my profession with passion. Proudly a Fire Fighter.

Go and repel in the centre of Alaba market and come back with your adventures, we are here waiting.

Respectfully, l say that you dont know what it means to be MOVING FORWARD, as a Nation.

- Growing Up, l see running public Taps at almost every junction (that big headed thing like a Public UK Post Box), almost every house has running Tap water, TODAY, No Public Taps and every House has now become its own Public Water Works....... That is your definition of moving forward?

- Growing Up, we had never heard of Fuel Generators because Power was constant and if they would take Power (mainly for maintenance), they made an annoucement some days before doing so. TODAY, we are all dying from the fumes of Fuel Generators - That is Moving forward, right?

- Not too long ago, a Teacher could afford to take a car loan and buy a Volkwagen Beetle, without stealing School money or going into poverty, but TODAY, Teachers are not even to be blamed, when they steal School money because we know that their salaries are stolen by their Ogas and the Ministry of Education Top Brass, it is 'handout' galore, if a lecturer is not to die of hunger! - That my friend, is moving forward bah?

- Growing Up, we could stay outside playing under the Moonlight till 2am at night (while our Parents are fast asleep or doing God knows what in the Bedroom ) but TODAY, if you send your Child out of your Gate in daytime, even if you are very poor, its either Kidnappers for ransom or Kidnappers for rituals will snatch your child! - That my friend, is your definition of moving forward, right?

- Driving around for leisure, used to be something people do in those good old days! You could drive to Ilorin to Lagos, Kano to Benin and back and still fell refreshed. TODAY, even Governor entourages get attacked by Fulani Herdsmen and Kidnappers, for short, intra-state journeys!
That my friend, is not how to move forward.

- In the good days, if you found money on the floor, you announced in a loud voice: Who has lost money, l found x-amount on the floor and if you dont get a response, you hand it over to the Police and the owner will get to know they can go collect their lost money from the Police!
TODAY, people will actively try to pick your pockets, Police will kill over #50 Roger, the Top Brass of the Police will loot money meant to run the stations and give Uniform to the Officers, etc. We have really move forward in criminality.

- When l was young, l watched as Mighty Joe, Oyenusi and other notorious criminals were tied to the Drum at BarBeach AND SHOT!
We use to sing: What willl do with being a Thief, in this my life.... If anyone steals #500 of Govt or Public Funds, they go to Prison for very long time. TODAY, people dont steal in the thousands or Million anymore, it is in the BILLIONS OF NAIRA, no one is immune and even our "Fake Daddy of Integrity" in Aso Rock, has become the Chief-Looter, using proxies here and there. Can l fault you, if you say we are 'moving forward'?

- Before we started moving "forward", if you finish Secondary School (Form Five), you are good enough to start teaching immediately in the same School you just finished from, that is how sound the educational system was. Even those who learnt Trade/Apprenticeship, were sound enough to earn a living from it.
TODAY, most Graduates cannot teach their own primary school juniors at home, never mind being employed as a Secondary School Teacher.
Just peruse Nairaland Posts and you will read the horrible English they write and the level of their mental paucity will become quickly apparent.
Can l dispute your assertion that we are moving forward?

Talking about Dubai and "moving forward slowly", how long did it take Dubai, to become what it is today?
Let me give you an example: Dubai started the Emirates Airline in 1991, with a loan of two Aircrafts from the Pakistan Airlines. TODAY, it is the fifth largest in the world and has passenger capacity of 3rd highest!
Now, compare that to Nigeria Airways - DEAD
Air Nigeria - DEAD
We even launched a "Digital/Audio National Airlines" on Paper, about three years ago! That one too - DEAD.

Naptu2 or even yourself can setup a world class FireFighting Unit within Two years, if you are honest and dont loot the funds, yet the whole of Nigeria has been unable to do so in over SIXTY YEARS after independence!
Every good thing the White Colonialist bequeated to us, we have ruined them, instead of building and progressing on them.

I can go on forever, about this eyesore called "Nigeria" and it is a shame that people like you dont even get it, cant see it or just pretend that 'all is well'.
Like the elders used to say, "If you use twenty years to "warm-up" into running Mad, how long are you going to be Mad for"?
We need to be honest to ourselves, Nigeria is a disgrace to the Black Race!
A nation of the "most shamelessly corrupt leaders" the world has ever witnessed.
Nigeria is RETROGRESSING among nations of the world, instead of moving fordward.
One step forward, Three steps backward, is not how to move forward.
Let me chill, Nigeria as it is today, is not worth my ink/keystrokes.

The topic has tribal bashing as it's only objective.

Christistruth00:
Who are those who insult their neighbours by calling them Afonja?

Northerners do that everyday here because they know you will attack others and not them.

This is getting more interesting.

EvangSOlowu:
In all indications, it is clear that 99.9% of Yorubas are in support of the Yoruba World Congress.
YAF should go and think well and understand that Yoruba is a nation having the capability to stand on its own.
The Yorubas are not slaves.

Ok

kayusely70:
A Referendum Should Be Organised To Know Where Majority Belongs. I As A Person Prefer Prof Akintoye's Stance.

The word referendum frightens a part of this country so much.

Tannhauser:
I swear, that would be far better, useless fire service.

Imagine the likeness

Someone's property is burning to tinder and you wait for hours for fire service, and they blare their sirens from miles away, you will have this high hopes that the fires will be out, lo and behold, they open their taps and there is only enough water for two guys to bath

What kind of tomfoolery is that?

naptu2:
Now I know that you are not serious and are just trolling. There's no need responding to you again. I'll reserve my time and energy for serious people.

Change their names to

NIGERIAN EMPTY TANK SERVICE

naptu2:
The politicians that you praise are the people that should provide hydrants!

Where have you seen firefighters providing hydrants??

What kind of ignorance is this??

So the fire fighters turned up to laugh and mock the property owners?

Tell us something!

You should send prayer warriors with bibles instead of wasting our time with empty tanks and useless sirens.

naptu2:
People like Slap44 will see politicians (who are meant to provide equipment) and hail them, but will descend on innocent firefighters and beat them up.

The firefighters should have carried the politicians to the fire scene and explain to the shop owners like this as the inferno raged----

"See the oga that failed to provide fire hydrants"
they should collect better beating together

Why coming alone?

Paragon311:
Very good write up.

Fair enough, these fire fighters are not to be blamed at all.

Truly, African (Naija especially) do not value life of the next person beside him/her.

A country where we worship and prefer money more than our siblings....

They are not to be blamed for turning up late or not having water to solve the fire which is burning away a people's properties and maybe life?

Okay, let's blame the devil instead

naptu2:
The issue of empty tanks/fire hydrants is properly discussed in the piece. Read the entire write up. It's not just about arriving late.

Stop being clever by half, why should anyone arrive to a burning building without water to fight the fire?

Firefighters are a part of the failed government, giving them a brain resetting beating is a way the people pass the message that Nigerian government is useless.

Imagine waiting so long after calling fire service and they turn up to a raging fire with an empty tank!

Wonder how long it will take the government to get the message.

God have spoken

Waiting for the zonebees and bitter miscreants of APC to see the light or perish in darkness

Vyzz:
Lol


Gee u still the remember that stuff...

Cal. Down he didn't mean it... U pissed him off remember? And it wasn't a tribal stuff... Don't make it look like all igbos are like that..

The truth is one other moniker said something stupid, harsh and dishonorable to the boys who were killed that day... And u probably didn't understand it fully well... So u supported him while saying u need a phone... It pissed the slap44 guy up... And he said some shit while angry

And there weren't any evidence that he truly had a good phone talk more of 3.. He might just be bragging...

At the end of the day.. M he motivated u to hustle bro... Peace.

We all go make am

Everyone go make am bro

God is awake. He has never slept.

GODSENT252:
Only if my phone could screenshot. Bvt help me sir and post where i abused kanu. What i sahd was only if we stopped listening to him.

Yes, those were your exact words, and are they the most soothing words you can to youths like you shot to death because they went to do exercises on a school field on a weekend?

We never discussed if they are Igbo or Yoruba, where did you get the lies that it was because you were not Igbo that I refused to give the phone? I have been doing giveaways here, no matter how little to everyone here without asking for names or tribes. I will still do more in the future.

Let's be careful of what we wish for others.

PROUDIGBO:
I’m starting to think that Anambra, like Ebonyi, could have a secret source of wealth they use in running the state that the rest of us aren’t aware of!

I also think so

Kriss216:
Bro, nothing will happen tomorrow. He might even owe a phone company tomorrow. Double your hustle and stop whining, dude.

Bless up.

He lied about the whole thing, let him send the thread link where it happened. He was making statements that seemed to suggest he was mocking those boys security forces shot dead on the 23rd of august in Enugu and I was mad with him. He ended the post by begging for a phone on same post where he was mocking Nnamdi Kanu, in anger I told him that I have over 5 old phones and that I will never give him one because he is insensitive to the plight of his fellow humans. We never mentioned Igbo or not Igbo.

GODSENT252:
No have not

What he said that day made me rethink
I stopped begging on nagraland

You lied up there Bro.

GODSENT252:
Mine happened right here on nairaland.

I was begging for an old or used android phone and a moniker slap44 posted 4 phone he is not using again saying he rather throw it away than give me all because am not igbo

If only you will tell the truth, you will tell them what really happened here on that thread. You were saying bad words about Nnamdi Kanu and indirectly mocking the innocent boys shot dead at a school field in Enugu, those words angered me because you were sounding insensitive. We never mentioned being Igbo or not.

But you can continue lying if it makes you feel better about yourself.

Tankio

Guy for God sake send me card pls. Am down bosss
