EnglishUsa: Now I know the reason 20naira is always clean and neat because Na awusa person de inside but because they normally tear people apart that is the reason you will never see 20 naira without part been tour to pieces you know naa (boko Haram). but go to hundred naira you know the person wey de there naa (pig) you know as hundred naira be naa, if you know you know
Lad I Kwali is gbagyi and not Hausa, the two languages are in no way similar.
SolutionMee: Can we stop blaming Nigerian leaders please... They're first humans before being a leader. Or are they not humans like us? Is it not people like you and I that are busy electing them into power despite knowing clearly how corrupt they can be? Then why blaming them? In fact, our leaders has no share in the overall problems befalling this nation. What we need is a rethink, mental restructuring and intellectual overhauling. We also have to work on our emotional intelligence and use of feelings and sentimental approach in influencing our overall judgements. I'm beginning to doubt if what is inside Nigerians head is truly a brain or a dead panel. Even if it's a motherboard, I expect it to function more than that. Our major problem is that we keep taking delights in making the wrong decision. I gave up on my country some few years ago.
You nailed it succinctly! Our leaders were first Nigerians before they became Nigerian leaders. If there are good Nigerians in Nigeria (and I know there are), why do we always elect the wicked thieving ones?
hisgrace090: Maybe you're under their payroll, our own problem is our inability to protest against wrongs happenings in the country.
He is so right! A people always get the kind of leaders they deserve. Right now as it stands, it is almost impossible for a decent man or woman to get elected into power in Nigeria, even if they manage to by some act of providence, the change they are trying to make will be repelled by the people they are trying to help.
InvertedHammer: / Yep. You expect a President to have 100% support. LOL. For every anti-Trump tweet, there is pro-Trump tweet. Keep whining about Trump. Economy is good. 401k is off the charts. Stock market is awesome. Unemployment is low. Everyone who is willing and capable can find jobs and not leeches on social welfare. Trump is the best. His personal life sucks but as a President, what else can you ask? /
He has less than 50% support even at the point of election, so what are you saying?
Trump is for America and Americans. Get a President that is for Nigeria and Nigerians first. Your President can only address Nigerians from outside the country.
An average American is happy. That's all that matters. The thing I hate about Nigerians and political discussion is that it has to be railroaded into comparative analysis of the incumbent and the predecessor. Obama did his stint and deserves some accolades. We are dealing with Trump now and shall be judged by his actions pro or against good governance
How the hell did Obama get into this discussion? This is US not your shitly APC/PDP blind Nigeria. Are there any ideological differences between the two freaking parties?
How did Obama get into the discussion? Because trump mentioned he did more than any other president before him, that's how. My turn to ask you how APC and PDP got into this discussion? He is a clown and an embarrassment to the "average american". Read a few of the tweets that followed his silly speech at the U.N.. those are the words of "average americans" and not the words of Nigerians beclouded by ethno religious sentiments.
InvertedHammer: / Donald Trump is the best thing that has happened to US in a long time. The economy is booming. Unemployment is very low. He is repositioning US against other leechy nations. I wish Nigeria can present someone that is somewhat close to that level of patriotism.
dingbang: This is to tell you that we lack the right education in this country. We aren't taught entrepreneurship in our schools which is why most Nigerians don't know what to do with money. Supposing this kind of person gets into political positions, they will end up embezzling our money.
Please see my signature. Thanks
Oga keep kwayet! Is it school that will teach you entrepreneurship?
DCONE1: I can't believe that this is coming from a woman, so because she opened her leg for a jerk does that means that the innocent child has to pay for his mothers crime....think about what the child is going through and put yourself in his position before concluding .
Please keep quiet, will you? Did she think of the child when she decided to screw a rolling stone? Some people are irresponsible and anyone that marries them should live with whatever they see?
RZArecta2: first thought that crossed my mind. If the military really wants to end this conflict, they know what to do and it doesn't involve sacrificing our men like fowls
Some officers are increasingly becoming rich as a result of boko haram and others are anxiously awaiting their turn, this fight will not end anytime soon.
BafanaBafana: Wahala dey o The loyalists and the decampees. The decampees are the most popular and most desperate and will not be happy if they aren't given the ticket while the loyalist have been with the party through the good and bad times and won't take it lightly if they aren't given the ticket. And pdp as win know is a party of vultures. They can never conduct anything without ojoro. Unless it's not pdp.
You have dissected and perfectly analysed the issue!
kennygee: Even if they are married, who will take care of his kids?
Their husbands?
There's no excuse for being a deadbeat bad, it is irresponsible.
I pray those women will get their acts together. There are single mums in this world who made mistakes by lying with dogs, but they can forget their "future", make better choices and get themselves a " Russell".
When you see a man and his acts scream "dead beat dad" but you go on to get pregnant for him, then you have to tale what you see. That a man is rich does not guarantee he will be responsible. Those girls should go and sleep on the beds they made.
Adakintroy: What kind of woman tells a man to shut up. Does she really know the whole story.
Women always quick to take side.
Some of this women will use this children to milk money for themselves as well.
Get a sales girl job. That you gave birth to a child for Wizz does not mean you should not work.
Aside these women are greedy fools. Yeah I said it. This guy is a bad boy. We're you expecting him to be home for dinner as well.
Forget what you see, look again. They are wild boys. Not domesticated ones like me and my friend Samuel. Am talking real wild. If you dont understand me watch ngeo wild and see nature. Wild tigers only show up for mating seasons. And after that take off. It's their life. It's fun watching them on tv. But learn to use your brain.
If you want a regular life find a regular guy.
Many of this girls will see, my friend Samuel and ignore him because he is too regular.
They just don't want to hear the truth.
I only feel for the child not them.
I wonder o! Did they really take in for wiz kid thinking she was rolling with a gentleman? Did they not see wildness in him? Did they think every rich man is responsible? Shay they thought baby mama is a job. They should manage their mess o!

I am sure you had a party all night the day he was freed, didn't you? Each time they get arrested, you guys cry all night long, even more than their children.

Even the few that were sent to jail - Jolly Nyame, Olisa Metuh, Sambo Dasuki etc - you have been crying to the high heavens for their release and with the other corner of your mouth you are asking why he did not send the rest to jail? You Pdp dudes are funny. You guys are not to dictate his pace for him or tell him who to arrest when, just sit back and enjoy the change.

VolvoS60: ^^^ Not a good response. [color=emerald]This thread refers to grave allegations against the NHIS executive secretary and the government that appointed him[/color]. People have the right to harshly criticize failure. You can't shut them up with the kind of comments you made up there.
The issue is this: is the ES guilty as charged?
I was not quoting the thread, I was quoting a commenter who blamed Buhari for negligent attitude of doctors. Negligence is found in every agency of government in Nigeria and it has been there long before Buhari.
Jman06: Did you read a publication by the NMA last week Do you know that Buhari has since failed to constitute the governing board of the MDCN thereby making it impossible to punish erring medical doctors See, the system we run in this country is such that the government either directly or indirectly determines the course of action in every sector of the economy, therefore government is culpable for failures in all the agencies.
While it is wrong for Buhari to fail to constitute the governing board of NMA, I will totally disagree with anyone that tells me that is why erring doctors get away with misconduct. Were there no innumerable cases of negligence of duty by doctors before PMB's assimption to office? That problem is in every sector in nigeria, it is our attitude, if we don't change it, no president can change it for us.
famzynet: Everything is just collapsing under this government. For people shouting lime and brimstone over the deaths of their relations in hospitals and putting the blames on doctors and nurses ,come and see oooooo. Stop blaming doctors or nurses working in the hospital. Blame the government you chosed to rule you. The national health insurance scheme is the backbone of affordable and health for all in every civilized nation in the world. It is funded with tax payers money and in nations that know what leadership is all about,it provides health for every citizen. It allows any hospital to treat you once you come in without you paying a dime. Your hospital bill is paid at the end of the month by the government through the scheme. Can you now see why accident victims die any how? Just pray that you don't have a health emergency when you are financially broke in Nigeria ,or to have accident with no one to contact your relation for deposit before treatment because that is the day you will know that goverment hospitals is pay before service.It is because we have zombified youths who would rather allow tribal sentiments to block their brains , chanting sai this or sai that instead of letting our leaders know that they are failures. Get this into your brains. As a citizen of a country , it is your right to have access to quality health,food,electricity,clean water,good roads and a good job to take care of your family. STOP praising a politician because he built one road or fly over. Nigerian youths are the problem of this country because if all youths should decide to effect a change in Nigeria, that change will take place. Youths please let's drop tribal and political sentiments aside and effect change come 2019. This APC government is just a FAILURE.You can accept the fact or suffer till 2023.
So if you vote APC out of power in 2019 there will be free healthcare for all? Do you think it is every Nigerian that benefits from nhis? So if a doctor or nurse neglects a sick patient and the patient dies the government and nhis is to blame? Youths like you are the problem of this country, always incapable of intelligent and objective reasoning. Was there any government before this that made nhis accessible to all? Mstchew
theoldpretender: I honestly give up. Some of you guys have no understanding of how economics works at all.
1.We import most of the fuel we use in Nigeria
2.The landing cost of imported fuel is above N170 per liter.
3.NNPC pays a ''subsidy'' to keep the fuel price at N145.
4.That is why most marketers cannot import fuel, why NNPC is the SOLE IMPORTER of fuel..and why NNPC partly cannot declare its assets.
5.And that is why we keep on having fuel scarcity...because most marketers cannot make a profit at N145 per liter.
6.We need oil to be at $140 per barrel to break even. Right now...we don't have enough to do so because oil has been below $75 since 2015!
7.GEJ tried to increase fuel to N140 from N65. You Nigerians protested...so we beat it down to N97...and then to N87 and that is partly why GEJ could not save forex...because we were wasting it on fuel. Meanwhile....scarcity was happening...and by 2013...fuel was being sold above the market price of N97 excpet in Lagos and Abuja...because most marketers could not survivie on profits as low as N2 per liter.
8. Please stop misinforming people. Venezuela is where it is because they import all they need and because they overspend all their money on subsides they cannot sustain, and because their govern,ment is imcompetent. Not because America...who buys most of their oil and pays for it.
9. And you APC and PDP guys better get our country off oil!
Modified...
From many of the responses below...it is pretty obvious most Nigerians want cheap things without thinking of the cost.
Many Nigerians for example want free education. Forgetting that in countries like Germany that have free education....the cost is half their salaries in taxes.
I hear people chanting that most Nigerians live under $1 a day. Well...if you can afford to fill your car tank, your generator tank and drive long distances...you are not living under $1 a day. Sorry...
The truth is, we cannot keep on sustaining cheap fuel, cheap electricity,cheap education. Our population is 200million and we produce oil at a rate less than that of the UAE which has 11million people. Either oil goes up to $140 per barrel...or we keep on taking loans to sustain us.
This is not a defence of bad government, or of Buhari or of GEJ or of any of your favourite talking points. It is reality. We are a poor nation. And we need to face that fact ...and stop excusing corruption and lying, and religoous crisis, and stealing. We need to spend what little money we have on strategic things like power, rail, and technical education. We need to get industrial fast...so that we can make things the world needs...and export things in bulk. And we need to accept that it is going to take some decades...so let us forget about enjoyment and work hard at it. Like South Korea, China and Japan...those countries got to where they are because of decades of hard work.
I don't like making this argument. To be honest I wish fuel cost N10 per liter or less. I wish we could pay fees of N10000 or less in our unviersites. I wish we had no corruption , and I wish APC and PDP were not so dissapointing. But we have to face the fact. If we do not remove subsidy....we are going to keep on wasting millions of naira on nothing.....whereas if we remove subsidy...for sure...fuel will cost N400. People will suffer. Most people would end up living hellish lives. But eventually investment willflow in,jobs will be created and the price will fall. And the economy would recover....
So,let us face the fact. Venezuela has subsidy. And as a result they have thrown billions down a bottomlesspit for nothing...and they are paying for it. And it is high time we Nigerians woke up to the fact that living on just oil is not good for us. We are a nation of oil addicts. Time we broke that addiction.
Intelligent points! But I feel sorry for you (no insults meant) because on nairaland, arguing intelligently most times is like pitting a gold ring on the nose of a pig. Don't waste your time here. Here it is all about PDP and APC, Buhari and Good luck, Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. Objectivity here is zero. That is why I read posts like this most times without commenting. Did you not observe how many commenters here believe in their heart of hearts that Venezuelans are far better than Nigerians and over 300 people liked their posts? That is why many of our country men and women end up even in places like Cambodia to "hustle".
