Asmmi: You make a valid point. While embracing diversity and engaging in dialogue are important steps, they alone may not solve all of Nigeria's challenges. It's essential to complement these efforts with concrete actions such as supporting local businesses, advocating for good governance, and fostering a culture of unity. These actions can contribute to tangible progress and address systemic issues that have persisted over the years.
All we need is good leadership and the rest would work out themselves. Nothing more. Our only problem is in Aso rock.
Matildahenshaw: Isreal has a long history of lieing through its teeth (like when they killed Shireen Abu Akleh) and the US and its allies in the EU have the history of believing whatever lie Isreal sells.
Remember 40 beheaded babies? It was a big fat lie that never happened. It was meant to trigger so much empathy and anger so they can justify the genocide still ongoing. The world ate it up, and even the President of the USA, stood on the podium and repeated this lie saying he saw it with his own eyes (oh sure, something that never happened)
Then there is Al shifa hospital where Isreal lied that is Hamas headquaters to justify an indiscriminate invation that killed 100s of people.. What proof did they show the world during? 5 pieces of makeshift weapons and a paper on the wall, claiming Hamas use the wall paper to write list of all the people it has killed. As you would have guessed, the said paper was just a calender containing the different days of the week in arabic.
Then, they claim the intentional targetting of the WCK employees was not deliberate nor intentional and they had thought a terrorist was inside the car. Yet, the WCK shared their cordinates with the IDF before starting the journey, followed the approved route provided by the IDF, informed the IDF when the very first precision missile hit the first car. But, the IDF still use the same precision missile to attack all 3 cars until all 7 people were killed. The killing of this 7 innocent beautiful humans sent more reaction in the west than the 30,000+ palestinians killed so far.
Also, the New york times released an Oped about a mass rape that hamas committed on OCT 7. This Oped spread like wildfire. However, the alleged victims cited in that OPED said it never happened, other victims didn't exist, the report itself was written by a formal IDF member, and no scrutiny was done before its release.
In addition, Isreal claimed that 12 UNRWA employees supported Hamas in carrying out the attrocities of OCT 7. This was just a day after the ICJ ruling, and was done with the intention to shift public focus. Immediately, the USA, UK, EU, Canada and Australia stopped all aids to UNRWA citing that accusation. Its been months and Isreal has provided zero evidence to support this claim, to the extent that many of the countries have resumed the funding to UNRWA because they found that Isreal lied once again.
The EU and USA have currently imposed several sanctions on Iran for invoking legitimately article 51 of the UN charter for self defense on Isreal. But this same people have done NOTHING to Isreal except provide lip service while sending billions worth of aids to continue supporting genocide.
The Security council resolution has and will always be binding according to the UN charter , but US said it was non binding when it abstained to allow the Ramadan ceasefire pass through. Also, US keep saying they support a 2 state solution, YET they were the only one to Veto the recent UN resolution to admit Palestine as a full member.
Remember the quote? "for my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law". The level of double standard and hypocrisy is ludicrous.
Hamas committed war crimes, Isreal committed 100 times that. If you say the actions of Hamas justifies this disproportionate and collective punishment on Innocent civilians and erasing every infrastructure, then the attrocities done by Isreal for the past 76years also justified october 7. If it doesn't, then the former also doesn't.
Humanity First, Differences Later.
You can choose to believe who you want. Clearly you have been blinded by your hate that it's impossible to save you.
Asmmi: Embrace diversity: Celebrate Nigeria's rich cultural diversity and promote inclusivity across ethnic, religious, and regional lines.
Engage in dialogue: Foster open and respectful communication to address differences and find common ground on issues affecting the nation.
Volunteer and community service: Participate in community projects and initiatives that uplift local neighborhoods and contribute to national development.
Support local businesses: Patronize Nigerian-owned businesses to stimulate economic growth and create job opportunities within the country.
Educate and empower: Invest in education and skill development to equip fellow Nigerians with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in various fields.
Advocate for good governance: Hold leaders accountable, promote transparency, and actively participate in the democratic process to ensure that the government serves the interests of the people.
Foster a culture of unity: Promote national pride and patriotism by emphasizing the shared values, history, and aspirations that bind Nigerians together as a nation.
Now this is much better. But then Embracing diversity and having dialogue would not solve our problems. We have been doing this since 1960. But the other points you made are not so bad.
God1000: This money is Three times our national budget in Nigeria and just to fund wars, well I don't see how this package will bring lasting peace to these countries, it only serves US interest.
How does the war in Ukraine serve US interest. The US lost over a trillion dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Only a few people benefit from wars.
RickyJesus: I took my time to type a reasonable message to you and all of a sudden you are sending VN to me, do you know if I am in an appropriate place to listen to your frog voice and respond? It just seem selfish and unreasonable.
I normally let the person know about the inappropriateness, but if the person continues; I reply whenever I can.
I think you are just a bitter person looking for excuses to be angry. Buy yourself an earpiece so you can listen to messages wherever you are and stop complaining. Learn to enjoy the Conveniences of life.
ozo13: baba u andnur family dey the same problem Nigeria dey Not only me and my family.that is the simple truth.i can see u are one of those people I just spoke abt reason e dey pepper you.kiss the truth.
Lol. I see you are trying to be funny. But then you mentioned "The Truth." The only truth here is that Nigeria has been destroyed by very wicked leaders. In just a year of coming to power, Tinubu has pushed millions into poverty. Hundreds of industries have packed up. It has never been this bad for Nigeria. So when you want to know the enemies of Nigeria, first go to Aso rock and then look for the idiots that voted for him
This is a fact, A major war would leave Israel in rubbles, reason for their constant annexation of Palestinian lands, an attempt to have more space. Like Hitler's lebansraum
Iran has acknowledged it struck Israel, up till now Israel have not responded to the so called strike on Iranian territory. With this you can tell who is more powerful.
No problem, you can believe Iran is the the most powerful country on earth as long as Israel continues to eliminate their generals and destroy their air defense. Let Iran continue to do the talking while Israel keeps winning.
Winning123: Useless post! Do we have the same population today with when 7 cups was 200. Many of these poorly educated people can't think.
Who was your economics teacher. Increase in population means increase in labor and hence production. Also, our population increased by less than 10% from 2015 till date yet food prices have gone up by over 400%. You are the one in need of education.
Nigerians, we are our own enemy, not the government and if we don't change this mentality, we would continue to suffer this, there are somethings that are not meant to even be expensive...
I could remember like 11years ago, when I served in Akwa ibom, Uruan LG (Nung ikon obio) my landlord and the wife gave me and my second corper a plot of land to harvest casava and we divided it into two and give the landlord half and we shared our own half with my other corper we did alot of garri and even brought to Lagos for my family...
In some places, garri shouldn't be expensive, I see a thread where somebody said garri is now 250 in calabar, where they have abundant of casava land.
I go run 🏃♀️ comot for this Nigeria 🇳🇬 for unah one day
Oga you are so wrong. Our only problem is bad government. Nigeria has more farmers than the US and the EU put together yet Holland alone exports Agricultural products worth over 124 billion Euros. Our problem isn't that enough people aren't into Agriculture. Our only problem is our evil government.
aguluobi: This one was posting lies upon lies This fools that claim Peter Obi built Anambra University.
The point is, Reno has posted for Tinubu and someone else has posted for Obi, from the two, who did a better job? Obi built the Anambra university teaching hospital. That alone is far beyond the four schools Reno posted .
And no it's not done in Advanced economics. It's just thr Obidients mob that have hearts filled with bitterness and hatred for any positive news about Nigeria. Majority of their ranks are IPOB members.
You are blaming the fall of the naira and the destruction of the Nigerian economy on the bitterness of Obidients. You don't know your problem.
Patrioticman007: Imagine Nigeria dying because of USA tissue paper backed with fiat law not Gold nor Silver. Africa needs to dump dollars for a gold backed currency.
Better said than done. There was far less global economic growth under the gold standard.
ozo13: When you see some people speak how happy they are the naira is loosing it value against the Dollars u will weep for Nigeria. Factors involve include greed, some of there candidate lost election and so they prefer the Nigeria get it wrong for them to prove a point. I don't know if this is the way it is done in advance economies.
Oga you are weeping for the wrong people and blaming the wrong people. Here are the people you should blame. 1 The Tinubu gov whose economic policies have pushed Nigerians to great suffering and reduced productivity. 2. The idiots that voted for this government. Please forget other presidential candidates and those laughing. They are not the cause of your problem.
aguluobi: What a foolish response to the question Reno asked. If Reno wanted to know schools Peter Peter Obi renovated or added campuses he would have asked that.
The man was explicit in his question, give me a school Peter Obi built from scratch n commissioned. Till this hour no one answered that question.
For fools n praise singer of Peter Obi the Lagos State University was established n built by Jakande at Ojo but after him additional campuses have been added and we now have LASU campus in Ikeja and Epe just like the Igbaram Peter Obi added to Anambra Uni.
Jakande did not build the Ikeja n Epe campuses yet no subsequent governor of Lagos dare take the glory of the University away from Jakande that is what Obidient are doing with Anambra university campus Igbaram. Compare to Anambra University can you all see how they left out the name of the person who established the university in 2000 long before Peter Obi became governor but are now complimenting Obi with it campus. Who should take credit for the University btw the two ?
I understand obidient wish the University was built by Peter Obi but that is never the case so you all have to dig deeper for a school Peter Obi built from scratch or simply admit he never built any n only added campuses to the ones he met on ground n renovated old schools without building any new school.
Which governor in the history of Nigeria do not renovate blocks of school building etc. Till date no Lagos state governor dare claim he added campus to LASU in Epe or Ikeja for fear he might be stoned to death this is what Obidient are celebrating n posting shameless photos about.
I put it to you that over 90% of the photos you post above as not a single thing to do with Peter Obi especially those busses.
Nairalanders just take a simple investigative look at all the photos this paid propagandist posted, notice how he slotted 2 or 3 photos of Peter Obi among the multitude of photos to brain wash you like Peter Obi single handedly built all that. Those from Anambra I enjoy you to confirm if just 50% of what this guy posted above was accomplished by Peter Obi or not.
Oga, it is very easy to compare. Reno posted Tinubu's achievements in the educational sector, and now someone else has posted Obi's performance in the same sector. To you, who was the better of the two? No need for plenty talk.
sheikhi: You are just another regular ignorant folk on nairaland Where were the jews and their god when Muslims ruled them in jerusalem for more than 1210 years? I know you dont know this part of history it is beyond your scope.
let me educate you for free, the israelis you are supporting dont believe in your bible and what is written in it and they regard your crucified god jesus as nothing but a bastard born out of wedlock and you his followers as idol worshippers, that is how israel regard you christians and your crucified god jesus, the jews wrote the bible and gave it to you but they rejected it as false, you christians cant claim to know the bible more than the people who wrote it, if the bible is the word of God the jews would have believed in it, the bible was written by the jews to program people like you to support them in times like this.
where was that the jewish or the crucified christian god when muslims ruled the jerusalem for more than 1210 years? Where was that god when Hitler killed millions of jews in europe? Where was that fantasy god when christian europe tortured, oppressed and killed millions of jews centuries even before Hitler did the needful? Was there any country called israel before 1948? You people are brain washed with false narratives written by the jews who dont even believe in those lies.. you people are programmed and as such dont reason like humans, ask yourself : why after more than 6 months of war israel was not able to realize even one goal among the goals they set at the beginning of the war namely 1 the liberation of israeli hostages from Hamas custody, 2 the destruction of Hamas military capability and 3 the killing or capture of Hamas leaders in Gaza. But none of these goals has been realized by the israelis, the israeli hostages are still in Hamas grip and negotiations are still underway for the exchange of prisoners from both sides, up to this moment Hamas is striking israeli territories just as in day one of the war and as a result of this thousands of israeli citizens living in towns close to gaza have been evacuated to the interior cities of israel and up to this moment non of the first rank Hamas leaders in Gaza is been killed, so israel failed woefully in this war and that is the view of even many israeli military and security leaders ... since the beginning of the war of 600 israeli soldiers were killed by Hamas and other Gaza resistant groups according to official israeli datas, i wonder if those soldiers died without Hamas engaging them in combat israel only succeeded in killing civilians and destroying public infrastructure.. Read israeli newspapers to know what is happening in Gaza, dont forget also that Hamas is a non state actor and Gaza has been under israeli sea, land and air embargo for 17 years even before the start of the war, if this did not tell you something then you need to reexamine your brain, if Hamas a non state actor who was subjected to 17 years total embargo by israel can withstand israeli military onslaught for more than 6 months then i think israel is just a paper giant without direct western support The reality is :
WITHOUT AMERICA AND THE WEST IN GENERAL THERE WILL NEVER BE A COUNTRY CALLED ISRAEL IN THE MIDDLE EAST...
Yes the Muslims were once great, we all know that but their time is over. Let them move on.
yeniyeni: He's no a Christian, please ignore that man. Christian are to be fast to hear and slow to speak. When words are much sin will not be exempted. You see him in every post talking about Israeli superpower how Israel will kill Iran and annihilate Hammas.
Christians are taught not to judge. It seems you are the non Christian here
Winning123: Brother Righteousness is this what the gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord about? To starve your enemies, to kill them, to deny them right to live. Appreciate your response to my query.
Stop saying what you don't know. There is daily passage of food into gaza. Since October 07 there hasn't been a report of one person dying of hunger in Gaza. Not even one.
Israel must accept Palestinian state to be created
This Jerusalem is not the new Jerusalem God promised in the bible
I love Israel but this in human nature must end
Go and force them to accept na. Why must they accept a Palestinian state after what happened in October 07? Hamas is not fighting for a Palestinian state. They are fighting to wipe out all Jews from the land
iLegendd: Even though I'm troublesome, I support peace this time around and people should stop dying.
I hate what Hamas did to those Israeli party-goers. I like the fact that Israel paid back to avoid looking weak, but now, I hate the fact that the payback has refused to stop and innocent Palestinians are paying the price beyond what Hamas committed. So let's assume that Israel stops the war, can you guarantee that Hamas will never attack again? Without such guarantee, it would be foolish for Israel to withdraw their forces.
helinues: Abeg, make una stop displaying una half baked knowledge about things. So if you have millions in trading and gained N15, how much do you think that would be ?
Una hatred for una country don dey make reasonable number of you guys to be misyarning
To you. Anyone who doesn't agree with you hates the country. But the truth is that the only ones who hate the country are the leaders and the idiots who voted them to power. They are the ones who have made Nigeria a living hell.
thesicilian: Okay, I'll do that. While I'm at it maybe I should also provide an extensive research on why the voting age should be 18yrs and not 12yrs. Or why the age of consent should be 16-18yrs and not 10yrs. Or why children under the age of 10yrs are should be in school and not on the streets hustling. Maybe I should also provide or if need be produce an extensive research on the effect of brain development on assimilation of routine school information.
Good, you have only made it clear that you don't really have a reason for restricting education from children younger than 4. You actually did some research here to show all other cases where age based restrictions were implemented but you refused to research on the very topic at hand. Now this is a topic that we already have sufficient data because every year, hundreds of thousands of kids begin school at ages younger than 4 years and thousands of kids get admitted to the university below 18. It should have been super easy for you or your government to point to research before banning stuff. But then you guys believe that you don't owe the citizens any explanation.
