₦airaland Forum

This is a personal opinion first off.

I have lived long enough as a Nigerian to understand that Nigerian politicians are a mostly a vile set of humans who can play politics with anything including terrorism and human lives.

I am of the view that the simple reason why the minimum wage increase is yet to be effected is the same reason I mentioned above - politics.

I think what the current administration plans to do is delay any minimum wage increases until 2026, so they can use it as leverage for the 2027 elections.

We have a criminal mafia in charge now and I understand how they think.

They will throw crumbs at Nigerian workers in 2026 in the name of an interim wage increase, make fake promises for when they are re-elected, and then leverage the desperation at that point.

You can bookmark this post and we will review by 2026 and you will see how accurate it is.

If this is not the height of evil then I don't know what is.

Nigerian politicians only scheme and plot how to win elections and corner our common wealth. The welfare of the people is the least of their concern and they will use every weapon including terrorism, hunger and extreme poverty to win elections.

I hope Nigerians wise up and resist this when the time comes.

olumike001:
If you habour thieves in your house or anything uswd for crime, tel thepolice u r innocent. Domt worry

I know you don't love Nigeria, it's obvious.

Speak to the issue and forget childish tantrums.

If an organisation commits a crime, do you go after ordinary employees or actual board members and owners of said organisation?

So sycophancy and zero critical thinking is what you think love for country should be?

Richtaiwo:
Northerners are very good in politics. Decoy is one of their most treasured fortresses. Politics is not as basic as the usual buying and selling of okirika clothes and spare parts. It goes far beyond that. It is also not about mounting 500 litre GP tanks in some places.

Very good in politics but this has not translated to any meaningful development in the region.

Do you not see the irony and folly in your statement?

Energist:
Shari'a doesn't bar people from building hotels. Go to Mecca and see thousands of storeyed hotels. But shari'a frowns at the depravity that's prevalent in many hotels. Such places promote promiscuity and moral decadence. If you've visited some muslim countries, you will notice that they have additional rules regarding booking of hotel rooms.

The emphasis is on the stealing of public funds and not the purchase of a hotel.

Comprehension issues much?

olumike001:
People like you and many others are just looking for anything negative to pounce on the government. Many of you talked against the government when the man's name was mentioned and ation was taken against him but now you are talking otherwise.
Now to the matter, he wasnt in detention but house arrest, he has freedom to move within the circumference of his house and he used that loophole during the fasting prayers to run away.

It is not new and Nigeria is not the first case it happened Infact people escape from US prison and they re not ranting here like we do.

The extradition is in process and it will be done because he committed a crime I.e internationally known.
Now to you thrateneing to carry guns, thats the main poimt you are trying to pass, sime if you wont even dare ti carry gubs but will instigate the masses to do So, and if they kill one of your relative now or destroy properties connected to you. You will start Nigeria has happened to you...

If you want to carry guns please carry it atleast when they catch u we will have something to read on nairaland

Suspicion or charges of commiting a crime does not and can never be the same as commiting a crime.

Besides, how on earth do you think charging an employee with crimes committed by an organisation makes any sense?

An employee that isn't even on the board?

The joke of a country called Nigeria!

What happened to Rochas, Ogbonnaya Onu, etc?

Another political dimwit has spoken!

AareGaa:
South East contributes nothing to GDP.
No industry, no natural resources. It's a barren land

You have been noticed.

Now run along

preciouswoman66:
Wetin u dey talk so?? Make dem create state for ibos wey dey Delta, my state of origin? Since when oga

So because my state government no restrict the flow of ibos from Anambra and other ibo states to Delta, u come get mind say make dem create another ibo state from Delta?

Una really dey yarn opata!!!

Another "awa oyel" crooner

Restrict which flow?

You should consider a career in comedy!

omoadeleye:
So when they mean that they have lost trillions of Naira due to FG not granting them the approval to create another state, does that trillions supposed to be the allocation from FAAC or what? Because the whole SE revenue is not even up to a state in SW

How much revenue has states like Osun, Jigawa and Kogi added to the FAAC in the last 16 years?

Do you not understand that all the other 5 regions have more representation in the Senate and HOR due to this lingering imbalance? Or you just want to display your Igbophobia on the Internet?

The thread has been overrun by Igbo phobic mongrels

It is a representation matter and this clamour is not new.

The contraption called Nigeria detests equity and justice but wants peace.

There is no place on earth where you can have positive peace without equity, fairness and justice.

Let the country keep fooling itself.

ThePolemicist:
Does massive support equate any logical reasoning?

So because I do not see things your own way I need reeducation?

Was it only the Igbos that died in their multitudes during the civil war?

Facts do not care about your emotions and you are clearly neck deep in your feelings.

When a set call themselves developers and people from the land of the rising sun... I cannot call them that?

Get off your high horse and face facts. For every good businessman from the east you have 3 that want to play it fast via drugs and even ritualism. And it cuts across all ethnic groups.

Just that we both know where this one is from.

Which facts have you mentioned that you're talking about?

Or is it the stats you pull out of thin air about 1 in 4 business men bla bla bla.

Questioning who lost more people during the civil war is funny cos you missed the entire point - that the Biafra ideology is one that millions of Igbos were and are willing to die for till this day.

So you're the most logical Igbo man who then sees others as delusional because they want their own country for obvious reasons?

I never asked you to see things in anyway but rather that you critically examine your own beliefs. I have not even mentioned my own leanings so far!

Anyways, I know your type, from your moniker I could tell already.

Like I said, you need to unlearn and relearn so much cos you lack critical thinking, just like majority of Nigerians I know.

Won't bother replying your mention again.

Calitoscassius:
Absolutely, During my growing up days, i always heard that Indigbo are the most hardworking, trusthworthy and truthfull people, Igbo people are/were known as misers and stingy folks, due to their value and respect for an honest wealth acquisitions, they were known for not wasting money extravagantly, parents encouraged their youths to acquire honest wealth hence they did what was called apprentice in trading for 5 or more years with their "Oga" when finally they are "setlled" by their "Oga" they d start their own shop or business, and carry on with the "Oga" trade and apprentice system.


But thesedays i fail to understand what has happened to indigbo to become this scamming. Untrustwothy, lying, extravagant lifestyle money wasting, quick money making obssessed people.

And these extravagant lifestyles are what drives youths into crimes. If people lives and spends within their earning means they wouldn't go into quick wealth acquisition

It is absolutely sad!

For the records, it is symptomatic of the general degradation of societal values in the country as a whole, as the same can be said for every other ethnic group in Nigeria.

We have lost our way as a people and the govt needs to actively reverse this rot by engaging in mass national reorientation initiatives.

ThePolemicist:
If my people act a certain type of way, I have no apologies in calling them out.
Moreso, I am not pro-biafra like a lot of deluded people. I AM A NIGERIAN

Like I mentioned, calling out =/= denigration or mockery.

It is bigotry to denigrate or mock any ethnic group, and if you do it to your own ethnic group, then the self-hatred must be strong.

Meanwhile, your categorisation of Igbos who are pro Biafra as deluded evidences your lack of critical thinking.

Have you tried to interrogate the reasons for the massive support the ideology of Biafra has enjoyed and continues to enjoy?

Or you think such a complex matter that Igbos paid dearly for with millions of lives is banter material?

You need a lot of education, unlearning and relearning cos your level of thinking is like primary school level.

I rest my case.

ThePolemicist:
To think i'm from the south west is laughable. I am of Igbo decent but born in Lagos and I hate what these people do to the name of the country. The ritual nonsense in the SW is highly condemnable; so is the drug peddling.

Denigrating your ethnic group smacks of self-hatred but I'll leave you to your devices.

You can chastise your own without denigrating all Igbo people like you did on the other thread.

Use your head.

My Igbo brethren must introspect and ask ourselves why we think it's okay to push drugs or produce counterfeit medicines and alcohol.

This making money at all costs mentality needs to die cos its very shameful at this point.

Where are our core cultural values as ndi Igbo?

Why are the elders quiet about these despicable acts that have brought sorrow and shame to numerous families?

It's abhorrent to think that some families even encourage their wards to make money at all costs.

It's a crying shame what Igbo land has become due to unbridled love for wealth without enterprise!

People like ThePolemicist and Idun2024 will avoid this thread like plague for obvious reasons.

The rate of ritual killings in the SW is alarming if we're being honest.

adamusuleiman1:
We appreciate his gift but the majority, a big majority will not vote for him. Aside the fact that we know of his religious war, he just doesn't sell up north. I don't know. Maybe it's his last record or just for the fact that northerners generally do not trust a South Easterner. GEJ built us 9 universities and over 50 almajari schools
and it came to zero. LMAO.

And this is something to gloat about?

That you people deliberately sabotage the country by continuing to vote corrupt, inept individuals as president because of bigotry?

Who's suffering the consequences?

You are happy to cut off your nose to spite your face and are gloating about it on the Internet.

It would have been hilarious if it isn't a pitiable situation.

grandstar:
There are many Nigerians earning over 1m a month. It's no big deal.

Many?

Lol.

Many is an over reach don't you think?

Danja:
Even the dead is not spared. North and South will remain divided forever. Your Bible teaches love but unfortunately, you don't have an aota it. North has the numerical strength and it will keep determining the next presidents. If north could kick out Janathan from Villa what else will north not be able to do.

If you don't remove hatred from system, it will consume you all.

Mr Danja,

Despite your obvious strong dislike (read as hatred) for Christians and southerners (read as Igbos), I'm happy to discuss whatever question you have that made you send me an email.

I believe this is related to fertility?

Davesen2222:
Na waka I dey oooo

Hello chief,

You emailed me.

Don't have access to the email I opened this account with.

Watsup?

Okay. Good work from the NA.

What happened to the terrorists though?

It's very difficult to believe that they handed over the kidnapped children without any resistance.

Some honesty will restore a bit of confidence from the populace.

beekind:
I am about to get married to a 28 year old lady whom I love so much but has been diagnosed with PCOS.
Menstruation is regular.
Anyone here with experience dealing with this condition and able to achieve successful conception should provide some guidance on how they went about it.

Thank you and God bless.

Go see a doctor, that's the first thing.

However, from personal experience with my lady, what we did was get her to start eating and living healthier.

If your wife is overweight, she also needs to work on that. Also, she can start taking herbs like turmeric, ginger, garlic etc. Then she can start taking folic acid.

These are the things we did and our baby is due in the next few days.

Great to see you heeded good advice and went ahead with marrying the woman you obviously love.

Wishing you all the very best!

I'm available if you want to chat more regarding this.

Cheers.

maasoap:
You are lost and the sweet part is that you knew it

Now run along since you have no point to make.

Next time don't make false statements in an attempt to exonerate Yorubas from the degeneracy that plagues Nigeria.

All ethnic groups are equally guilty.

maasoap:
Just look at all the political crap you just compilated on a thread discussing how criminals and terrorists murdered security agents! You're lost big time

Argumentum ad hominem. I'm not moved.

I specifically tackled your claim and inference that Yorubas do not support criminals.

I used known examples cos there's no point going into the glorification of fraud and fraud money, ritual money, etc.

maasoap:
SW is not known for supporting crimes just because they're their own, get your facts right.

A former credit card fraudster is currently governor of Ogun state.

Also, a former thief in the US who stole his client's money has represented people in Lagos for years.

A former drug bag man was roundly supported by Yorubas to become president.

Sit this one out please.

All Nigerians are guilty of defending their own thieves.

sylve11:
This is a very terrible development coming from the East.

I hope they don't cry foul when the NPF unleash mayhem on the people of that area.

May God heal our land. 🙏

You advocate for senseless killing of youths in the name of retaliation, but cannot see that such actions is what perpetuates the violence and keeps the vicious cycle going.

Your lack of self awareness is astounding but not unusual of a subjugated mind.

Who owns Lab Four?

How much of our common patrimony will be paid to Lab Four for these "historic" Business Process Outsourcing jobs?

This is a very vague media release that doesn't really say anything.

Another conduit to siphon funds?

Time will tell.

stallionng:
Senator Ningi should be recalled and appreciated for exposing this fraud while the leadership of the national assembly should be held accountable on how and why the padding if these exposure is indeed real.God
They are raping this country and tell the dying masses to endure.

What do you mean by "if these exposure is indeed real"?

How real can it get?

This is just a tip of the iceberg, there are thousands of similar "ghost projects" inserted into the federal budget every year since 1999, with zero accountability for where these funds go.

We need a serious leader who will place meticulous, conscientious people of integrity in different ministries and agencies, in order to reverse the rot that Nigeria has become.

It is still reversible but our window of opportunity is closing down fast. I estimate that we have just two more election cycles to either get it right or go bust.

The writing on the wall is ominous!

Another avenue to settle some "consultants" in the name of performance assessment.

Odiegwu.

Animal Farm.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than the others.

The audacity Gumi has is simply because he is a "four legged animal" who is more equal than the others.

Good initiative from LASG.

Worthy of emulation by other states, especially states in Igbo land.
