Nigerians before we say, we must first ask questions. Where did Senator Ifeanyi Uba get the funds to build the hospital?

BananaPeel:
Kano State is finer 100% than Delta State that has oil money.
What a waste of resources in my State.

You haven't been to Kano, overcrowded, dirty, and full of beggars. Just like Lagos overcrowded, dirty, and full of Northern beggars.

lexy2014:
All this grammar u are speaking hasn't answered d simple question:

Which development is Lagos posting?

Lekki Deep Sea Port, Red, and Blue light rail lines, Eko Atlantic, Lekki FTZ

BTW, I hate Tinubu and his plethora of corrupt Lagos state governors that have underperformed despite the available resources.

PHAYOL81:
Nice one there, kano. Ganduje is the man.
Hope our S.W politicians are seeing this. We can't be satisfied with Lagos alone posting development here and there; our other states must step up to be counted too.
The north ain't contented they have Abuja, rather they keep pushing for more with Kano, Kaduna and even Niger States posting serious developmental projects.

Abuja is in the Middlebelt, but I get your point. What is Ekiti, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, and Oyo doing in term of real infrastructure development?

These are all audio development, investment in primary education and healthcare will reduce the 13 million Northern Nigerians out of school. Kano should invest in a state police service that can encourage private investment and get rid of the Hisbah.

Why are they always getting caught!

joey150:
There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going. That also includes making money that you can be at peace with.

Tribalists and bigots arriving in 3,2,1.....

It's not tribalist if we are calling Igbo's out for destroying Nigeria reputation in India and Asia.

Exc2000:
First we don't operate on Regional Constitution all thanks to Aguiyi Ironsi and Professor Ben Nwabueze

Second Amotekun in Oyo State is State Police, and as of today they have unlawfully killed 3 people just a month of opreation

What this means is we are not yet politically mature for State police, and regional governance requires total Constitutional overhaul


..

Amotekun is not a state police!

Nigeria is not matured to be a country, talkless having a police service that works.

Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) codenamed Operation Amotekun (Leopard), is a security outfit based in all the six states of the South Western, Nigeria, responsible for curbing insecurity in the region.[1] It was founded on 9 January 2020 in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria as the first regional security outfit initiated by a geopolitical zone in Nigeria

Exc2000:




Buhari had no other option than to negotiate

If he had went in with Military action, the bloods of the kids would be on his hands

Buhari is an old man and sees things like an old man

.Yahaya Bello is a young man, he won't pay ransom, he won't allow NCDC in his State, he keeps claiming Kogi has nothing like covid 19




.

He has an option, to restructure the security architecture, name me one country where the police force is controlled in the centre. All police are regional and state-controlled. South Africa has an armed private security service industry that employs 450,000 men and woman four times the size of its army and is 3% of the country's GDP.

Nigeria needs regional or state police that can manage local issues. State police would put an immediate end to Fulani's herdsmen.

The private security industry in South Africa is among the largest in the world,[2] with over 9,000 registered companies, 450,000 registered active private security guards and a further 1.5 million qualified (but inactive) guards; many times more than the available personnel of the combined South African police and army.[3] Studies have shown that South Africa had 2.57 private security personnel for every police employee

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_security_industry_in_South_Africa#:~:text=The%20private%20security%20industry%20in%20South%20Africa%20is%20among%20the,South%20African%20police%20and%20army.

Merry Xmas everyone.


Nigerian youth are Nigeria success storry, IT, Music, and Nollywood all owned by the youth.

NGpatriot:
So, Nigeria, a sovereign Nation should start responding to every nonsensical rubbish?

Some Nigerians are used to seeking relevance and validations from foreigners which is a sad by reflection of their kolomental state of mind.

This rubbish is for the useless Nigerian opposition they sourced their rubbish from and the usual anti Nigerian elements like ipobs and others.

We don't have time for all the silly rubbish, gossips and anti Nigerian garbage out there.

God Bless Nigeria

God Bless PMB.

The same foreigners that will provide Nigeria with loans and FDI. The report from the FT and Economist will be read by all major investors and financial analyst and when Nigeria start asking for foreign investments they will quote this article.

uptimum123:
Where's the sarcasm here...what I see here is a fool who has lost touch with the world.

Bashir is simply laying down fact

Facts that an oil-rich country cannot supply year-long fuel

Hunchogee:
Senseless he goat stop spraying nonsense here ok

Shameless man responding to a he-goat

mannobi:
Let akwa ibom continue with the development couple with the ibom deep sea port on the way. Soon, some people will claim to have developed entire akwa ibom state

Ibom deep seaport nan audio development.

All the funds that have been wasted on stadiums, hotels, shopping malls, and golf courses should have been invested in the deepsea port. Investment in critical infrastructures such as rail, seaports, roads, and power should be first priority.

The will be paid and rehabilitate back into the society.

Sunmoluvic:
I will always say this, Lagos is overrated.
The state is smallest, and it's the most populated, I wonder how that place would look like in the next 10 years, when analytics shows that over 600+ people relocate to Lagos everyday.
Soo the state won't be suitable for investment as the environment would soon not be suitable for business

If 600+ people are relocating to Lagos, that's an indication of economic activities, the problem is where are they emigrating from.

Lagos must take ownership of former federal government assets such as the Apapa express roads, National stadium, Federal secretariat and many more and find investors that can rehabilitate these assets. complete the light rails and introduce modern sewage and drainage systems will improve the lives of million of Lagosian.

This is what the like of Sowere and Kingsley Moghalu should be doing, contesting poor government policies, building their present with the local communities and building critical mass on the ground. Nigeria cannot afford another PDP vs APC presidential campaign

efighter:
Imagine Oil Well in South South allocated to a man from Taraba will South Southerners are wallowing in poverty.

Maybe the South South leadership should do more than support corrupt Nigerians political leadership from the North and SW.

rossniti:
You're an ignoramus. What "willpower and ability" have American leaders shown to curtail crime?

The gun manufacturing lobby bribes those leaders to not impose gun ownership restrictions, including basic background checks for intending gun buyers.

People are free to own even submachine guns, which they sometimes take into schools or cinemas or malls and start shooting randomly at innocent people.

And you're here talking rubbish about willpower. Mumu people.

Maybe Nigerian should be armed against their criminal minded leaders.

rossniti:
If they looted all the money, Nigeria would be a bush, just like it was when your British looters left it with nothing in in 1960, no power stations, no universities, nothing.

But Nigeria has developed substantially since 1960, which is why you can read and write unlike your illiterate grandparents, own a smart phone, and can drive around on tarred roads and flyovers, and visit malls to buy indomie, rather than being a hunter or farmer stuck in the village.

So we have made progress, even if you're too blind and stupid, and your head too stuck up America's butt to to see it.

Plus corruption is everywhere. It's ten times worse in America, but they've looted so much of the world's resources after committing mass genocide, that nobody notices when even 1 trillion dollars goes missing from their treasury.

You are disillusioned, Nigeria has has not improved with 150 million living in extreme poverty the country has regressed.

In the 1980s Nigeria had four working refineries, 13 automobile assembly plant producing 180k cars

Visit countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, and notice how these countries have developed since the 1960.

rossniti:
Shut up. Are you suggesting Nigeria invades 95% of nations on earth like the USA did, to loot resources in order to enrich herself, killing millions of innocent people in the process, eg in Iraq?

Or enslave millions of people to build the country?

Do you really want to know what America did to be rich?

How many millions of people's lives she destroyed to be rich?

Mumu. Don't use your brain. It's just there for decoration after all.

Idiot Nigerians sold themselves for beads, mirror, bowler hats and alcohol. Take responsibility for your own problems

johnmartus:
Some of you will still be stone las las ...We know the real enemies of this government...They know how to deceive the president just because he trusted these useless people.
They say all was well when everything have been scattered. Posterity will judge you guys.

The president is useless if he trust useless people.

Slurity:
Damm. Since we always see our leaders as the only courses of our problems, you want to blame Buhari for this intentional age cheating abi? Nigeria is fantastically corrupt and even the devil is in shocked

The leaders are the problem.

The role of the leaders is to provide a vision and direction to the nation. What do you expect from the people when the president is openly supporting Ganduje, cannot tell the truth or protect school children from terrorist.

seunmsg:
Why are they so angry that the boys are back? We trended #Bringbackourboys and they are all back. So, why the anger?

When Chibok girls were abducted, we all urged the Jonathan government to do everything possible to bring them back. If Jonathan had been proactive in the early days of the abduction, all the girls would have been safely returned and international embarrassment would have been avoided.

Buhari simply learnt from Jonathan’s mistake by moving quickly to negotiate a peaceful release instead of living in denial and blaming opposition like Jonathan did. So, why are they angry that he did everything possible to return the boys? Is this not what we all wanted?

Maybe you should ask why has Buhari failed to bring back the remaining Chibok girls

tiswell:
Crime is also endemic in the US, so what's the fuss?

Typical ignorance Nigerian. Always competing with other countries failures.


Why not compare Nigeria with US accomplishment?

Arrewa:
Yes...

Foreign herdsmen are not under the leadership of miyetti Allah...

Miyetti Allah only have the capacity to control Nigerian herders.

Foreign herdsmen operate under an African Empire.

The crisis in southern kaduna is between foreign bororo herdsmen and southern kaduna people.

When Elrufai said that he paid some foreign herdsmen to stop killings in south Kaduna...some bunch of brainless animals were busy abusing him.

Instead of to critically think and ask questions.

They claim that hundreds of their cows were killed on their way passing through Southern kaduna axis that the people must pay either with cash or their blood.


Elrufai had to negotiate with them and pay them for their cows to stop them from launching the offensive attack on Southern kaduna.

The foreign herdsmen have central leadership and are united all over Africa.


Miyetti Allah have no power over them... Miyetti Allah can only approach the central leadership.

Same foreign herdsmen are the one killing in Benue and Plateau.

But I think they've been settled...

Our government don't want to secure our borders since Nigeria got her independent.

Dummy, El Rufai decisions to negotiate and payoff Fulani militant, bandits and terrorist is the reason why the current situation has gotten worse. Those so called brainless animals should have stoned El Rufai

Cutealexio:
Government officials should stop importation of official vehicles and buy locally assembled vehicles. Gbajamila himself is using Range Rover as official vehicle, others are using Toyota and Lexus. I still don't know why Toyota refused to have an assembling plant here

If the government cannot fix the refineries, than they have no chance of building an automobile industry

In the 1980s there were more than 13 auto assembly plants across Nigeria(producing 180k vehicles at its peak) with a supply chain supplying windshield, brake pads, seats and tyres all manufactured in Nigeria.

IBB and Abacha introduction of IMF SAP programme destroyed the industry by opening up the economy to cheap foreign imports. The lack of FX to pay for imported CKD engine and body and works and the failure to complete the aluminium and steel industries to supplement the industry did not help.

Ignorance Minister, priority should be in Education , Healthcare, Security (against herdsmen) and Industrialisation. More than 70% of Nigerians are already involved in Agriculture, the problem is not farming but the industrialization of farming/Agriculture

Basalt:
Goodmorning Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am Basalt by name and I came to Germany last year(2019) October for my MSc studies with a little amount of Money and a partially borrowed block account from my inlaw (his money and my money).
On arrival in Germany, I took only a few courses and got a job outside my city and also got a mini-job. I did all my monthly expenses from my Mini job and used my main job to completely pay back my debt within a few months of arrival.

Now, that's not the discussion at hand.
I need advice especially from people who have lived abroad or have many years of experience in life.
My visa still counts till 2022 and I can even extend it if I don't finish my studies by then.
According to German policy, once you graduate from the University, you will be given 18 months to get a professional job or return back to your country.
Returning back to Nigeria is totally out of my plan at least for now because I came from a very poor family without any job connection and I am really enjoying Europe.
I plan to buy land or start building a house (I saved millions of naira and will even save more as time goes) but my friend who is also a student here discouraged me against that saying that my root is not yet fixed abroad that I should wait and continue investing in myself and undergoing professional training until I get permanent residency before investing. That I should always keep saving because it is not certain that I will get a professional job after graduation since my course is not in Information Technology which is currently booming in Germany. That even if I don't get a job, I can use the money to migrate to Canada or any other country of my choice.
He asked What if you invest the money now and don't get a job after graduation, what will you do after the 18 months of post graduation visa since you don't have any backup from home who will help you out financially.

What do you guys think. I need opinions

Listen to you friend, develop your career first hopefully in the booming IT industry, stay in Germany or migrate to Canada, but don't invest in Nigeria until you have bought your first house in Europe or Canada.

Nigeria is on the downward spiral, population explosion, hopeless, corrupt and ignorant political leaders and an economic that is a joke.....the currency has gone from N180 to N600 in 5 years. If you bought a house for 40 million in 2014, that cost me £222,222. That same house is now value at £66,666 today and I can't even get my Naira converted into dollars.

Moferere:
We have problems with data in this country.

The governor said 333
Shehu Garbage said 10
Daily Trust said 668

Who should we believe?

Trust the governor that is friends with the terrorist

blacknp:
I have friends that got into Government & cleaned out, This is Democrazy, politics is the common man’s game, you can be a player, or a bystander the choice is yours, the people in Abuja today, I don’t know them from anywhere, they worked their way to get there, nobody gave it to them on a platter of gold, it is your choice right, or left, stay, or go, who is Fashola?, Who is James Ibori?, Who is Akapbio? Whois Okowa? Who is Rotimi Amaechi?They are nobodies that made a name for themselves.

Ibori was a common thief in London, we both lived in Ruislip Middlesex UK, where Ibori was caught stealing from a DIY store (focus) he ran back to Nigeria to become a corrupt politician. The are all nobodies and responsible for the carnage that Nigeria has become.

This are the Idiots Buhari surrounded himself with


I have vowed not to poke nose to Northern insecurity and would rather focus on my Region South West and Yorubaland...

But these are children for God's sake, not what to play politics with

Buhari is the idiot that selected the idiot
