When the majority of the population find it difficult to cover the basic necessities of life, then you know you have a dwindling middle class. The upper class is known by their ability to enjoy luxuries, and comparing those with the ability to pay for luxuries and those who couldn't you would understand that Nigeria is a capitalist nation.
whytediamond: ... "If this should prove to be the case and civilized world be forced to recognize in a black people the fount of its original enlightenment, it may happen that we shall have to revise entirely our view of the black races, and regard those who now exist as the decadent representatives of an almost forgotten era, rather than as the embryonic possibility of an era yet to come."
Words of Lady Lugard.
The whites will never let the world know the true history of the black race. So much talent and creativity. My question till this day is, where did it all start to go wrong?
Me too bro, I wonder if we could achieve this feat in ancient times, how did we face a downward spiral of relevance across history.
Vellichor: Whose fault is that? When they sleep with everything and anything in a skirt why won't the chances of them fathering a child that's not theirs be high?
emmysolo2001: 1.joggers mehn I hate this crap if a guy wears it,u will know exactly where his penis starts and when it ends cause it will be shifting. 2.a guy carrying condom in his wallet,as in must u Carry it everywhere. 3.I hate dreadlocks on the hair makes u look scattered.4.I hate seeing a guy whose finger nails are too long(I know girls do it dat is their own problem) but hate it cause guys don't know how to keep it clean
I keep long fingers though, bad habit I must say.... And it's embarrassing when it gets dirty, any ideas on how to keep them clean?
Pangea: RIP Prof Akinsanmi and others Imagine, the level of greed in Boeing that lead to this And they even failed to ground their planes after the Lion air crash in Indonesia If they had done the necessary thing Those who died in Ethiopia would have been alive Wicked company!
It's called Capitalism bro, it's all profit no ethics
Rosskii: So it wasn't the Ethiopian pilot's fault afterall, whereas, some of you were claiming ''it must have been pilot error'' that caused the crash.
One nairalander even said something about ''Africans and incompetence'' etc etc.
Bunch of stupid, self-hating nitwits (You know yourselves).
Very stupid bunch, very quick to discredit their own. Ethiopian airlines has a reputation to uphold, incompetence would be a less likely scenario, it's just typical American capitalism. They feel nothing, they're only worried about their decreasing profits.
Hadampson: I always say this... Learning languages has a series of benefits, some which are quantifiable and others which are significantly less tangible. Learning a foreign language takes time and dedication but in the end, it would be an advantage.
Me personally, i enjoy learning languages, even if just enough for a very basic conversation. I get enjoyment when I talk to people in a language they weren’t expecting me to speak, and i enjoy being able to communicate with people I may not have been able to communicate with otherwise.
Languages are like puzzles, they have patterns to them and once you get the ball rolling, you can build your base faster, and the fact that there is also a practical aspect to learning languages which is even more enjoyable.
In nutshell, don't be lazy to learn a language. I know many Nigerians made United States of America their dream country because english is their official language over there. There are alot of countries which might not be okay to you but if you go there and experience how life is over there, maybe you might stay and travel to USA for visit.
A great man once said 'the more languages you know, the more you are human.’
Imagine if you can speak German for example. Learning Danish or Swedish won't be difficult because they are Germanic language.
For example Good morning in German is Guten Morgen In Danish, it's god morgen while in Swedish, it's god morgon you see that they are kinda related.
People learn languages for different reasons. One of the reasons is emigration.
I hope this will convince you and not confuse you that United States of America is not the only country in the world... Shalom
Nice work you did here, thanks. Meanwhile, some people just grow up hearing US thinking it's paradise, I've never liked that capitalist and racist country one day. The same US that has a lot of homeless people in it, a country more concerned about it's military might than the welfare of its citizens. But what of China op.... me I like China o
sexiestharam: America is such an hypocritical nation. Is it not shocking that a country that will normally be the first to have grounded the plane model hasn't because it is an American product? Whether the model is updated or not, most countries will never use the model again because there is no guarantee that the software update will prevent another crash. America the hypocritical nation!
I've been waiting for a reasonable comment like this. That country is full of hypocrisy. if It was a Russian or Chinese made airplane, I'm sure they would have started barking sanctions like a dog on them. Nobody should even buy their planes again. This is a bad PR situation, but they're trying to stage manage it. Useless country.
francescainnoce: I don’t quite agree with this woman. Many things she says, I don’t follow at all. There’s a very tin but crystal clear lines between morality, and, freedom. I understand with the women’s right to things as human; if that’s what she’s advocating for, fine. But she shouldn’t just open her mouth and say things just to remain relevant. No need to pull crowd, with irrelevant stance and border line view. We have cultural morals and we have social norms, as African, we have standard of living and they have served us all our lives. Don’t tell my girl to wear what she wants just to prove she can exercise her freedom. Who is fighting her for her freedom?? Why do I feel that Chimamanda is raising fighters against no enemy or is she raising them against unforeseen circumstances? Teach our young women to be hardworking, goal driven, determined, pacesetters, women of vision, women on a mission, strong women, resilient, dependable, consistent and constant women. Teach our ladies and women to be FEMALES WHO STAYS. Stay in their homes, in their success path, in their academics, in their career pursuit, and so on. I may be wrong and I stand to be corrected but the real victims of social injustice, abuse, and many more are in war-torn countries. There crazy things happens and girl-child are victimised every second. All these feminist and their leader should head towards there and fight a good fight.
If I'm looking for a lady that actually uses her brain, I guess I've found one in you. But I've made my reservations clear to many ladies on this lady's brand of feminism and it's extreme nature but they say I hate her. Is she the only feminist?. If you know Nnedi Okoroafor she has more moral standing to be a feminist than this lady. Nnedi is a professor and a single parent with just her kid, but she has been very constructive and direct in her criticisms of patriarchy and chauvinism. But this chimamanda every time she tries to make it as if she's fighting men, and it's very bad. I'm a communist and I recognize the importance of women in society, but if you turn women against men, you're fighting a gender war and not a good cause.
SIRTee15: If there will be tech transfer, I rather go with American loans....even if the interest is higher.... Chinese will never agree with u on technology transfer.... They want to forever keep building for u..... They write their manuals in Chinese letters that our engineers can't read.... They refuse to engage our engineers in critical areas of infrastructure they build for us.....
Let's be careful, Chinese are not our friends either.... Africa should wake up n think for itself.... Neither China or america will want africa to develop to its level... Enough of hoping on external saviour....
What we need now is to think for africa and build for africa.....
When taking loans for infrastructure development... Let's insist on technology transfer, training of local staffs, using local resources for the project, engaging local staffs in technical and critical areas of the sector, using local population in all areas apart from areas of technical expertise and that should have a limit......
We should embrace whoever is willing to do the above... The nonsense of the past should stop.... Africa should build it's own infrastructure....
While I'm entirely in support of Africa building our own technological capacity. My grouse with the US is their interference in a country's affairs. The Chinese might have plans for extending their reach into African resources, but US always have sinister motives whenever they offer you something.
Boyooosa: Exactly. In addition to this, they should make it 'tech transfer' unlike those Chinese guys that will be forming 'foreign language' when it comes to exposing the cores to the Nigerian technical crews.
Grow up bro everybody is in March 2019
I agree with you. But let's be hopeful that things are possibly getting better. May be our attitude as a country (majorly through our leaders tho) have been blowing up the opportunities. May be this might be the time for progressive nation, its all about our attitude to function well. I assure you that if good attitude is being guaranteed from the necessary qtrs, we ll get there. Mind you, nobody, no decent society wants to invest in a porous system like ours except the smart cunning ones that know the crookered ways to go about it. China has distinction in that! Take that from me.
Bro forget US, the Chinese loans are more transparent. I never trust anything US, why are they bringing the offer now. They're threatened by the growing Chinese influence. it's better to be in bed with the Chinese than Americans, they're more greedier
pacespot: is it what the western media told you that the Chinese are cloning their technology? so the fact that Tesla is producing electric cars means others cannot? the same people accused China of cloning their military drone (name forgotten) and selling it at far cheaper price. Technology is not the birthright of one country, people learn from one another. if it is so easy to clone, why can't Nigerians clone technology and sell it to the world. Mind you, Chinese also have their own inventions while also learning from others. the same way western countries are leading in semiconductors and jet engines, Chinese are also dominating in electronics, textiles, building constructions, and more.
No mind all these people listening to CNN rubbish. They be hating on the Chinese ingenuity but can do anything. innoson that is even trying does not even get support from it's citizens, useless people calling out Chinese products but can't even invent nothing.
Zoharariel: Continue gobbling up your usual Amerikan propaganda like coca-cola without engaging your grey-matter.
Trying to convince brainwashed friends & acquaintances alike of the reality of the World has been a futile, fruitless, pointless task.
Any Sovereign State that refuses to surrender her natural resources to Amerika & the Empire at large for their mass plundering is automatically demonized & isolated.
North Korea is sitting on a $6 Trillion mineral resources and the AngloZionist Empire has been trying to lay its filthy blood-drenched hands on it for decades. You don't get to read this on CNN or BBC.
The North Koreans are a happy & peaceful people but are resolute in defending their land & resources from predators & vampires like the iFUKUSA (Israel, France, UK & Amerika).
We saw what happened in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, and now we’re seeing the Amerikan imperialists go to work on Venezuela. Each time, with new intervention but the truth about what is actually going on becomes clearer by the day and an inevitable conflict that will bury Amerika is getting nearer.
The Amerika you so much adore is bankrupt economically, financially, politically, socially, racially, morally & spiritually.
The United Snakes has a current military budget of $1,134 Billion while Russia military budget is $61 Billion, being reduced to $46 Billion. Amerika has Trillion dollar budget & trade deficits. She has been borrowing $4 Billion a day. Debt levels are out of control, some say $250 trillion - but they're covering it up.
Cities like Detroit have lost half their population & look like Wild West ghost towns. It has a corrupt, broken, dysfunctional political system incapable of reforming itself.
It has all the warning signs of an empire in terminal decline. A bloated, out of control & very inefficient military establishment. A gross disparity between rich and poor and the flaunting of wealth. The debasement of the currency and looting of the public treasury. Irreversible and increasingly apparent decline in all areas.
The Empire is falling apart and is latching onto decade-long campaign to undermine sovereign states that have boycotted her useless currency - "The Petro-Dollar".
The only question is when, exactly how & what the catalyst for the collapse will be.
My advice to you is to keep your filthy mouth shut & be objective when next you read or watch anything coming from the western mainstream media about North Korea, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, China & Mother Russia.
Don't mind the guy, they'll just be listening to western media, swallowing the lies hook line and sinker without filtering through it. Any country that doesn't play ball with US will be sanctioned, such is their immaturity and greed. I'm still wondering how US leaders will wake up one morning and be issuing threats against a sovereign country like Venezuela
TheManofTomorrow: Its no news that a couple of eligible voters won't be voting today because of one reason or the other. Some due to the unpeaceful political environment, some due to distance, a lot wanna use the day as home vacation.
Well I am not voting cos dey cancelled last week"s election and I can't travel such a distance this week to the area I registered my PVC.
Oya guys why aren't you voting today. I hope your reason is genuine, if not, I will urge you all to exercise your right and do the needful #Nigeriansdecided#
Ideological reasons. I'm a Communist and Marxist, and we don't support those whose vision does not align with our own.
Smily202: Wow. This to tell you Donald Okechukwu Trump knows everything happening in Nigeria presently. Just that they don't like to react on political stuff outside their country not to see as controlling everything happening in the world.
But Buhari must visit haugue soon cause of his dictatorship this saturday
This will soon happen to Buhari if he refuses to conceed defeat..
simplyhonest: someone should please remind me if China has the richest pastor in the world? or the biggest church auditorium?...that is what we are busy doing here in Nigeria.... *sighs
Don't mind them, that was how one was trying to justify Nigeria's suffering by saying we'll go to heaven instead of the Chinese.
Binikingdowm: there are only two candidates in this race, Atiku and buhari.
Any vote for sowore, moghalu,fela durutoye is a vote for buhari.. they are working together, don't be naive.
If atiku is indeed a thief, he would have been arrested.. calling him a thief without doing anything is another reason to vote out the incumbent president.
Do you have any incontrovertible proof to support this claim?

you see that they are kinda related.
