VULCAN: Govt apologist hard at work selling snake oil.
When you have lied so much that the ability to speak the truth has been lost to you.
That is what makes you a good Nigerian govt apologist.
Spending millions of Naira on a logo is what is good for Nigerians.
Spending millions of dollars on a fake launch is what is good for Nigerians.
Anyway, karma will meet all of you one by one.
That thing that you all say is good for Nigeria must be made manifest in your life.
Rape, Murder, Homelessness, Begging, Hopelessness,Bankruptcy and other gifts that the government bestows upon Nigerians must also be you guys portion.
Say Amen Seek medical attention asap. |

Kukutente23: No sir. Govt did not want to do something to benefit Nigerians. It might sound so and look so but it is not so. A project that will benefit Nigerians will have the best interest of Nigeria at heart. Begging Ethiopian Airlines to help you float a National carrier just for the sake of bragging rights is not going to benefit Nigerians. How have you inferred that the sole purpose was for bragging rights?? If that was the case what would stop them from simply using one of the local carriers? Ethiopian Airlines is a genuine world-class enterprise so the idea that it was all a charade lacks a basis in reality. Why would Ethiopian airlines risk its reputation for something so flimsy?? |

matify83: Just imagine!!
While local airlines were submitting tenders for the establishment of the proposed airline, ET was invited and given the job with total disregard to open bidding.
Why are contracts in Nigeria always embellished with fraudulent intent?
We just got saved from an 11 billion dollar wahala because some Nigerians colluded with PA&ID due to such contractual arrangements. You dont even know you are contradicting yourself. How could local airlines be submitting tenders if the process was not open?? Was ETA the only carrier invited to participate?? Where exactly is the fraud? |
Politics › Re: Ethiopian Airlines Breaks Silence On Controversial Nigeria Air by SmartyPants(m): 9:30am On Oct 26, 2023 |
Kukutente23: Reading through, it's obvious FG's desperation for a National carrier created the mess. Ethiopian Airlines do not sound committed to the idea from what their CEO is saying. They just see it as helping a beggar. It's terrible how far Nigeria has fallen What that should rather tell you is that the goverment wanted to introduce something to benefit Nigerians but greedy Nigerian airlines, who enjoy the freedom to do and undo, and the politically driven media carried the gullible public away! |

RightToReject: His submission might not have been properly articulated and carried an undertone of self-absorption, he has a point nonetheless. A better approach should be to rename NDDC something like Oil Producing States Development Commission (OPSDC) in order to accommodate both Niger Delta States and non-Niger Delta oil producing states. NDDC, as a name, isn't encompassing. That was definitely not his point. |

Acidosis: Import what quantity? Report shows that fuel consumption fell by over 30% since the removal of subsidy? Does that explain why Naira keeps falling?? Naira falls because of over demand. Over demand exists because of import dependency and currency speculators. No other reasons. Import dependency has been discussed. So who are the currency speculators? The everyday Nigerian of course. Everyone who buys dollars to save, while uderstandable, is only contributing to the problem. These things are simple arithmetic. |

He is the current president and no reasonable person shoudld want him to fail. That would make one question, what is the rationale behind your unending opposition to the president?? For example you are ranting bitterly on a thread where positive policies are being anounced. Why?? In any case, haven't you seen that the larger proportion of Nigeria has no time for your emotional blackmail? Did it work before the elections? Why do you think it will work after?? Never pretend as though it is Tinubu you have a problem with. The quantum of your outlook suggests that it is Yorubas you have a problem with. Don't cloak that beneath false patriotism! |

Most atimes I don't bother going through the comments anymore because definitely you will see things that are out of context
The rule now is "once your tribe is not affected, you are very ok and happy with any bad news"
Tribes wishes tribes death You always see dark hearts in the comment session

We've had several discussions, all this while, and I've told you at several points that I am preoccupied with personal projects. You have my email address where you can reach me so why do you keep sending such messages on nairaland? Do you think this is proper? I'm afraid I'm no longer in a position to intervene but last we spoke you let me know that you have actually made some progress.

You need to clarify whether you want to manage 5k and still eat well or you just want to survive on 5k.
If it is the latter then garri is a sure bet.
1k garri will last a full week with excess. You can eat one egg a day for protein.
Then buy multi vitamins to make up for lost nutrients.
All of this is about 2.5k. Then try to eat one nice meal a week...just to keep yourself feeling like a human being.
As you do this, keep in mind that this terrible time shall pass. |

Forget all this big grammar and give her justice. The female lawyer that was shot in ajah got speedy justice because she's a member of the NBA and her colleagues rallied around her. This girl has nobody NBA friends to rally for her hence the matter is dragging The cases are a little different. The evidence against the cop was more direct and undisputable, based on a mountain of eyewitness testimony plus the discharge of his service weapon, and most of all, the fact the police did not attempt to shield him. Bamise's case requires a nore intricate approach because there was no witness - but have no doubts, that man will never walk the streets of Nigeria a free man. He will never breathe the air of Nigeria in freedom. He will eat, sleep, defecate and go about the rest of his days confined in a cage. He will never again taste the sexual pleasures that drove him to end the innocent youth's life. He is finished. |

2. The idiots that link every argument to politics, ethnicity and religion. But how did you manage to link the issue of functioning judicial systems with supporters of Hamas?  If you don't mind, please help me with the nexus. |

I will understand with Benue and Southern Kaduna residents...
Will the young governor withstand the crimes that will take effects if guns are approved to youths in his constituency?
The bullying and killings and stealings, raping and all manner of crimes will be too much for the police to handle.
Sometimes, I wonder what these people smoke...!
Same way the lawmakers will go into recess and resume with stupid laws. Criminals already have access to guns because unlike you and I they don't mind breaking the law to get these dangerous weapons. What should be done is to allow registered security outfits like vigilantes to bear sophisticated arms too, with regulation from the police. Meanwhile, ordinary citizens, vetted tax payers with no criminal record, and who have a stable income should be allowed to own lesser firearms like shotguns and handguns for self defense. In Israel for example, it was armed citizens who formed the initial response to the hamas incursion. |
