itsIYKE:

LMAO!

So? Its an abok1 hospital, what do expect?

This is officially the uggliest set of MBGN contestants ever.

Una dey see am? A black youth elected into a position of public responsibility in a european country. Meanwhile, in the most populous black country in the world, the president is a 75 year old and the average age of the members in his cabinet is 65 year years.



Somebody should tell me why Nigeria is not a useless country.?

Nice one. The quality of education infrastructure in Nigeria is actaully one of the worst in Africa.

Lol. The devil is a liar.

Amaechi doesn't collect bribes, rather, bribes collect him. Oloshi!

How did Amaechi become governor in the first place? Did money not exchange hands before the court gave a ridiculous judgement in Amaechi's favour and made him governor?

He was previously speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly for eight years. So was he trying to say that throughout those years, nobody bribed him neither did he receive kickbacks from top business and politicians under the corrupt Odili and Obasanjo era?

Does Amaechi think we are fools or what?

On point!

So Nigeria no fit dash Ghana common 33 billion?

This man is an idiot!

So what if Nigeria splits (which is becoming inevitable)? What happens to all these useless data gathering programs they've embarked on?

Abok1 people don get sense o.

Yoruba's actually dominate the private formal sector in Nigeria before the Igbos and then the Hausa/Fulanis. Their domination has to do with their "ownership" of Lagos and partly due to their education(maybe).
On ICT, apart from CWG and Iroko, I don't know much of any other "big" indigineous ICT firm founded or owned by an Igbo.

Please this is a benign comment. I don't expect any backlash from anybody because of this comment.

When did Nigeria have an "intelligence" agency?

Ndi Ofe

Food is ready!

Where's CWG?
Where's IroKo?

delpee:
You got it right! Nothing has ever really been easy. Women sold their wrappers and stuff to send their kids to school in the past. Maybe free education has rendered many lazy and dependent on government for everything.

I remember classmates in University who genuinely hustled to see themselves through school. A guy used to wake up early to do alabaru for market women in a big foodstuff wholesale market and will be back to campus in time for lectures. I know many who overcame their challenges and obstacles and are big men/women today. They didn't wait for godfathers and " connection". When you raise your hand in a positive way, God sends helpers your way or shows you the way.

It's unfortunate that most young ones spend more time analysing why they're not progressing than thinking of how to proceed and succeed despite the challenges. Impatience is not a good virtue for those who want sustainable success.

Attitude, focus and determination make a lot of difference in our lives.

As a mother back in the day, you could sell your wrapper and jewelries to see that your kids have get educated but if you're doing that today, you're wasting your time and money. Back then, the chances and hopes of your kids getting employd after graduation were very higher than they're today. The unemployment situation in Nigeria today is absolutely terrible. For example, look at the NIS recruitment scandal that happened last year? Are there any records that over 5 million people tried to apply for jobs that were available in not less than 10000 postions back in the 80s? NO!

You can't compare the 80s to today. Nigeria today sucks! I wish I was born in the 70s.

laudate:
Plenty of excuses were running through your post. In what way has the standard of education received in the 80s changed from what is being given out now?? Kindly be specific by spelling it out in chapter and verse.

In the 80s, there were no longer any free meals anywhere. Squatting had become the order of the day from the mid-eighties onwards, as there was no longer any free accommodation space in the hostels. I used to visit my older siblings in the uni then, and I know what they went through to get an education.

Today, you guys have social media, internet, mobile phones, Google and all kinds of NGOs offering entrepreneurial trainings, YouWIN and all kinds of programmes. Were those things available in the 80s? No.

There is an adage that says 'he who dares, wins!" Most of the youth today lack any direction for their lives. They are too busy sagging their trousers and their brains, to think constructively outside the box, and see what kind of innovative things they can create which would etch their names in the annals of history.

Do you want to compare the standard of education in the 80s to what obtains today? Jeez! Have you ever been to a male hostel in a Nigerian federal university in present times? I finished from one and I can tell you that is not a rosy experience. We were seven roommates in a 2 man room, it is even in a worse condition now.
Things have changed, you can say that Nigeria was bad then but the truth is that it is worse now. There is more competition in everything- there are more universities and polytechnics; more graduates;

The social media is nothing. For the most part, it has become a tool that has been used to enslave the youth into perpetual laziness and redundancy. All the NGOs and programmes you mentioned are mechanisms and tools to avert disaster, if they weren't available, the youths would burn Nigeria to the ground because of their unemployment and hopelessness. They are nothing more than paliatives. They weren't needed back in the day because job security and employment were more available than it is today.

University students back then were hopeful that they would get employment once they graduate and this was the case. That is why Femi Pedro's friends could sit in their rooms and plan on starting a bank. Which graduate would dare think of such a feat right now?

I'm not trying to make excuses but Nigeria as at 2015 is almost useless. We shouldn't try to blame the youths for being lazy, we're nothing but vestiges of a totally failed educational and social system.

ewuoso:
can a blog works in d stead of a website

Yes it can but I won't advise you to use a blog. To build a website doesn't cost more than 3k naira. Besides, you will still need webhosting in the long run if you want to be serious about affiliate marketing.

Most networks don't accept Nigerians but some very good ones like peerfly do. Things you'll need - 1. A website with your own branded domain name(eg. NaijaWealthMarketing.Com). The website doesn't have need to look too flashy but it should look professional. You'll also need an email address with your domain name(eg admin@naijawealthmarketing.com). 2. You need to be on some instant messaging platforms like skype. Most affiliate managers are on skype or aol(aim). 3. A valid phone number is necessary for some networks like maxbounty and neverblue. They must speak with you on the phone before they accept your application. 4. You need to know how to answer their questions.; What are your traffic sources? What verticals are you interested in? What is your daily ad spend? your experience in affiliate marketing, are the most common questions. 5. Finally, you need to submit payment and identity information. That's all and goodluck.

Haha. Giant of Africa indeed! If Nigeria is the giant of Africa, then Africa is in big trouble.

And nigeria fell for the scam!

Nigeria will build theirs in the year 2079.

Lol. But honestly speaking, I don't see this country of ours making any meaningful progress at least in the next fifty years. This is not meant to be a curse or an insult, but rather based on a thorough analysis of the problems facing Nigeria. Nigeria has a firewall of problems which can't be erased or cracked even in the next fifty years.

The story is the same in all Niger Delta states, it is not peculiar to Rivers State alone.
It is a very sad story. The total collapse of commercial and industrial activity in Rivers State evokes sorrowful emotions. In PH maintown its a total disaster, businesses are closing shop every month. PH maintown is now a shadow its former self.
Bayelsa state is even worse, my friend who owns a business there is complaining every single day. I don't know about Delta and Akwa Ibom states but I know they all share similar experiences.

English is one hell of a language!

Things have drastically changed. First of all, The quality of education you received in the 80s is totally different from what youths of this generation receives these days. Secondly, the population of youths weren't as high as it is currently. Thirdly, the country had not fully deteriorated to the failed state it is today.

You can't compare youths back then and youths of today. Youths back were the guys who enjoyed what was left of this useless country called Nigeria. They had free meals in Universities, better lecturers and education system. They had less competition, better opportunities and generally better standards of living. Cultures, media and technologies that promote laziness and mental retardation (pornography, video games, twitter and social media etc) weren't rampant or were virtually non-existent back then.

It is totally impossible for a youth to start a bank in this dispensation. It will amount to nothing but a pipe dream.
The current state of the Nigerian youth population shows that the future of Nigeria is very dark and gloomy.

One of the men who destroyed Nigeria.

Unprofessional new reporting.

Our country Nigeria is a USELESS country. I am very sorry.
