Screw the Oyinbo, we gotta make progress on our own.

progress or sustainable progress, that is the question!

Assassin101:
which also means that Dangote can go from being one of the wealthiest men to becoming a poor man that Abacha's son insinuated he was years back.

Morale: stay humble, there's nothing to life worth dying for, cos no matter how it goes, you'll never make it outta here alive

Tech stocks are subject to lots of high volatility, dangote is a traditional investor. Dangote can not experience such volatility in his investment

Nigeria's biggest issue is population.

It has 100 million more people than Iran! People asking Nigeria to be Dubai or Saudi Arabia aren't realistic.


It is far easier to spread wealth when your country only has 30 million people. Nigeria has 140 million more.

Now compare much revenue these countries generate from oil compared to Nigeria and we will all see the issue with the country is the overdependece on oil! Nigeria is producing anything else and a world leading standard. Then they are using this oil money to subsidize northern poverty stricken countries with uncontrolled populations where they are just producing children for the sake of it.

Nigeria's biggest issue isn't thieves... it's population and lack of true federalism to stop dependence of oil.

Our population is a great asset... what we need is an efficient wealth distribution system.

EngrXrix:
They tell us we only have 47b $ in external reserve. Where did all the money go. Who are the people responsible for this wastage.

I guess 80% of the unproductive salary earners plus mother corruption

Termination of 2 month's old pregnancy... what happened to the words sweet mother

Neoteny:
The sad truth has little to do with the competence, or lack thereof, of the service chiefs

It has to do with a universal truth no president so far has been honest enough to admit:

There just aren’t enough security forces to go round and cover everyone

The per capita is like one cop for every 10,000 nigerians

That’s why when there’s crises they have to borrow personnel from other deployments

Also, the very few are bedeviled with lack of logistics, morale, and quality leadership

That’s the greatest danger facing Nigeria. And the crooks know this

What else do you think accounts for the brazen daylight plunder and pillage?

It is obvious that we must just find away to make state and community policing to work. The centralization of security structure is not helping matter.

No matter where technology is taking us to, my meals must be prepared by a human !!

Your fear is quite understandable!

tiwiex:
I love progress. As much as this sounds like progress, don't complain if unemployment rises. Google gave free Internet at the expense of many companies who are heavily invested in the sector. Can you guys take a moment to find out how many African countries have bought into this Greek gift. I don't think our government think deeply through their actions. I can assure YOU Ethiopia will NEVER allow this happen in their country. Same with Rwanda. I hope you know there are no Uber in those countries I mentioned.

Google just introduced a substitute to a business product for free. If someone here can share with me how it creates jobs and doesn't put more people on the street. I will be happy to hear.

Advertising company should benefit a lot from this and thus see increase in budget and staff strength
Courier companies should benefit and thus increase staff strength
Online companies such as jumia and konga should also see increase in online orders
Music industry should benefit from this and see more downloads
Bookstore should see an increase in online sales of books
Companies should start experiencing quick turnover of their stocks, cost of inventory should go down, expect more physical orders of raw materials to produce finished goods.. Infact some manufacturing firm would need to employ more staff.
Once you have the tool that can identify your customer base with laser like precision, i think closing out all deals or sales is more than 90% guaranteed.

my own understanding!

phase1:
It's too late for state and regional autonomy which can still be even reversed by a coup and a decree catapulting us back to ground 1. Outright seperation is the best.
A country where development for a certain people is not interpreted with jealousy by another group of people is ideal.

Nigeria is an unworkable entity full of divergent and most times opposing interests. Why should I an Easterner have to wait for the opinion of a non-easterner or even sometime an anti-easterner before a federal scale project can be executed in the East?

Why should a Lagosian have to wait for the opinion of one unprogressive man in Sokoto or Katsina before enjoying constant power in lagos?


W[b]hy must one region have to wait for another region before development can happen. Ahmadu bello asked Awolowo to 'slow down' rate of development in the south so the north can 'catch up'. It's still the same case today, will the Arewans ever catch up? How can they can catch up when their leaders up north depend massively on poverty and illiteracy in the north to maintain power?[/b]

nothing to add!!

i got a link to join a group via whatsapp... clicked then took me to another webpage that is when i discovered telegram... i think i will do more research on it... technology is moving fast, dont want to be left behind.

I believe because we have failed to practice true federalism, this is why the chant for disintegration is on the increase.
We need to ensure less concentration of power at the center and allow all federating unit to develop at their own pace, without interference from Abuja.

Truths22:
Dude's on codeine

....you mean expired codeine!

Baba please if you truly love Nigeria do the right thing.. please do not contest.
if you do i would not fully regret voting you in the first time!

flyca:
How I wish that Nigerians and Africans understand that these freebies are not development.

Only Africans can develop Africa through handwork and dedication.

Development can mean so many thing... but this is still a good initiative from google. For instance Whatsapp is a freebie but i assure you many Nigerians are conducting transactions running into millions on a daily basis via the platform of Whatsapps.

Africa can only develop through massive embrace of technology, the problem of Africa right now is we want to keep reinventing the wheel.

Is Fayose still in the country?

Metuh:
That's a sane society.


You can't commit crimes and get away with it easily unlike our Naija

True talk... Imagine if Bill Cosby was a Nigerian, he would have gotten away with all the molestation charges!

Ijogbande:
The VP has come with a very brilliant and good idea. I have never doubted the intelligence and briloiance of the VP.
I am sure the VP is ready and will always be ready to ensure that the lives and propertities of every citizen of the country is protected and guided.

Hope u are not trying to patronize our VP. There is nothing very brilliant about having state police. It is expected... the VP should have canvassed for this from the very 1st month of this administration. I believe the VP must have been aware of all the challenges bedevilling the nation why wait towards the twilight of the administration to start advocating for state police.

doeeyed:
Oh my...

May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

Ambode's program of creating bus termini, with strict enforcement, may help prevent what set off a series of events with devastating results.


Mmmmm.

.

Do you believe the danfo drivers will enter those bus terminals? Remember THIS IS NIGERIA

Megaideas:
Until Buhari leaves the Presidency, the contraption Nigeria, will continue plummeting till it's finally destroyed.

It is really not about Buhari, but lack of strong institutions, no superman can fix Nigeria, with the present structure in place.

MosquitoREBIRTH:
My brother, dont even miss the food because it will later become a problem in Nigeria. Food sellers dey go strike too na... I'm just sorry for this country. How did we even become a country? There is nothing to actually show that we are a COUNTRY just bunch of black people being wicked to themeselves and for forming giants of Africa. The whole Africa na shit sef...

Truth be told the foundation of Nigeria is faulty, until we all come together to ask ourselves the question what does being a Nigerian mean, we shall be going through the circle of motion without movement. The only thing that binds the Nation is nothing but crude oil... The day the value of crude oil drops to $1 per barrel, i believe we shall then know the truth, and the truth shall set us free. This is Nigeria

He is on IG announcing already?

Fishy couplee. . . . Fishy marriage. . . Fishy pregnancy. . . . Fishy death.

An infant by a POOL all by himself? WHERE?
In Nigeria or ? ? ?

There is just something about this Dbanj that does not feel right.

The truth will be buried with the “boy”. No DNA test necessary to determine the real father of the boy.

100% chance Dbanj ain’t the dad.

R.I.P. little one.

Do you know something that we dont know

I worry ....

The good old days when you are chosen based on merit

macuwon:
And the fairytale begins again for our super slay queens, Our calculators are out, permutations and combination has started. We are all ready to take advantage. Even Argentina would be praying for us to get a good result against Iceland so they can trash us and qualify. But we will dissapoint them at last.

We would lose to iceland

.


After placing my heaviest bet on the Super Eagles to win against Iceland, we the Association of Bettors (AOB), consider your statement most unpatriotic.
P.s i am yet to lose any bet placed.
