Education should be blamed in the current Nigeria. Some people believe because they are educated, they can't do some work ..

Hahaha all those hairstylist , fashion designers , some of them are earning far reasonable than someone working in the office.

People should stop queuing behind those who already created their own path, create yours too.

But remember, nothing like an overnight fortune, you must have done something before such happen, only few lucky ones got fortune overnight

Rubbish.

Because 1 in 100000 business owners are successful does that mean it's the path everyone should toe?

Don't you see businesses in your locality folding up daily due to high cost of running business and also high cost of living.

Yeah business is good but it's not the solution for the masses.

First create a conducive business environment before advocating people venture into it

Religion / Re: Lawsuit Over Miracle Soap, Water: Prophet Jeremiah, VDM, Who Blinks First? by Tolupage(m): 9:28am On Aug 11
VDM has a legitimate case and if he wants to cash out from this Fufeyin is going to be in trouble.

He can sue NAFDAC for being silent on the issue despite being called out, which may mean they also consent that the product was approved.

Secondly, I'm sure NAFDAC won't want to be dragged in the mess so they'll disown Fufeyin, then he can also be sued for fraud and using fake NAFDAC number to decieve the public.

VDM wins in anyway in this case as long as his lawyers dont Bleep up

Venator venatur

When the hunter become the hunted. These past couple of weeks is by God grace am surviving. From battling the intenst heat, dodging bullet gwo gwo gwo gwo ngwo and calming the hungry worms staging protest in my stomach. It not been easy. Genesis of my delimar started, when some weeks back HQ said we should pack our bags and equipments we are going to Port Harcourt for reinforcement and reconnaissance.

Before 0600 hours we have already load our personal effects on the TATA (lorry), while we wait for buses HQ called we should stand down no movement again, by then our personal effects (containing our dry rations, tent, blankets, gas cooker e.t.c) has gone far. I went to mess (kitchen) to collect lunch they said "no food for us" that how we started fasting.

On a normal day I don't use to eat food from the mess I cook or I eat my dry rations to avoid food poison. My gas cooker and pot by now would have reached Port Harcourt by now. After much deliberation and consideration, base said they would only give us lunch. The lunch they gave me that day was the final nail hammer into my torment.
For the next two days I was having serious running stomach and pass piosion fart to kill an elephant. I thought it was normal fart I want to fart, I adjust and set my bum bum only to discover I have shit on my pants. I had to wash my uniform and tire wrapper. Everybody was just starting at me like Ashawo.
As I was waiting for my uniform to dry (advantage of Borno sun) that was the time BH said they should attack our base. Come and see how I jump inside trench to take cover. It turns out be false alarm. That was the time uncle snake decide to come and find food and what food tastes better than my fresh laps. Without wasting time I expanded two rounds to kill uncle snake. A feet that was not easy considering uncle snake was cunning. Fire ready, snake meat roasted at least it will reach me five days or more, no more watering beans.

2 bullets to kill a moving snake, wow!

Never knew AKs are that accurate or at least your marksmanship is top notch

Ezewuzie01:
You now see why Umahi is insisting on cement roads.

This is not a asphalt based problem.

The issue is the road block water channel, there should been a bridge or large culverts at that point to allow water flow under.

Once the flood erode the soil under concrete or asphalt then things like this will happen.
Politics / Re: The Defence Flag, The Presidential Standard And The Russian Flag by Tolupage(m): 7:07pm On Aug 06
While the North may have been screaming Russia, I also do think the flag is the same as the one in the president's speech that most people claim is for the armed forces.

While that may be true, I seriously doubt the logic behind red, green and blue flag suddenly turns red, blue and white on broadcast.

If the presidency is truly concerned about the flag displayed up north, it should actually look inward at what they portray to Nigerians

This is long overdue, every state in Nigeria has a valid reason to protest, I'm surprised why insecurity isn't a major demand in this protest.



Also maybe we to glaringly add welfare of security forces to the list of demand maybe it will become more obvious to them they need to support the fight for a better country too.

Beautifulday:
Those who think twice about life have never mattered. Life one deadly opportunity. If you miss it. You are done.

Tinubu would have been nothing without NADECO protest.

People talk about dying as if it is a big deal. Anybody can die anytime. People commit suicide everyday.

The big question is.

What did you do with your life before you die?

Living 10000 year begging and being oppressed is not living.

It is better to die for something than to live for nothing.

God bless you brother.

For me death is no biggie as long as it is for a worthy cause.

Politics / Open Corruption In The Nigeria Police by Tolupage(m): 4:15pm On May 26
I saw this thread earlier today, where the OP narrated his experience when he approached the NPF to help track and recover a stolen phone.

https://www.nairaland.com/8103675/ever-tracked-stolen-phone-before

Going through the thread, quite a number of people have similar experience with the police which include

1. The NPF demands a sort of fee to track your stolen phone.

2. Having found the location, they now charge you "mobilization fee" to effect arrest of the suspects

3. If suspects are caught, s/he is made to pay for all the expenses and more.

Now here are some things that bug me

1. why would the police charge a citizen who reports a stolen item to help in it recocery - ain't that their primary responsibility?

If they can't protect lives and property, they should be proactive hunting the criminals

2. If after paying for tracking the device, one has to "mobilize them" before they help in retrieving it, isn't that concerning??

Now that we have a know location of a suspect, but they'd rather sit back and do nothing cause they weren't mobilized? Then WTF is their job.

It's even funny how they charge in batches, if after tracking you don't mobilize them, your 30 - 50k is gone... So you're forced to mobilize them just so you don't lose the tracking fee.

3. After apprehending a suspect, they never seem to prosecute such people, they just demand the stolen items and some added fee, ain't that corruption?


Finally, I'll say with this same mindset of the NPF, if a building is being robbed and one goes to report at the station, I strongly feel the person will be charged for mobilization and miscellaneous.

This heinous act seems to be an open secret and yet the NPF is not bothered about it.

Truth be told, I really feel sorry for the country where the citizens pay tax to fund salary of the police but have to pay the police directly to perform their duties.

You mean Gates Foundation/west brought polio to Nigeria and rest of the world?

Apparently you need to study your history and do away with biased theories.

Polio has been recorded since 1400bc, the US had it fair share of the polio pandemic in the 1950s long before Gate found wealth.

But because you'd rather blame every other person for your own failures than look inward, you all are busy looking for who to blame.

People with your mindset will blame the west for the current almajiri system when it becomes full blown pandemic tomorrow, rather than start to solve the problem now that it's still budding.

JoeEeL:
THE GATES FOUNDATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GRAVELY DANGEROUS GMO AGENDA

This is a modification of the natural way seed grows. There is suspicion that the fulani activities which constitute the heavy destruction of farmlands all over nigeria (from north to south) is tied to this agenda. The middle belt of nigeria which is very agrarian and houses some of the best soils and weather has seen a deliberate and well-calculated massacre and forceful eviction of their farms, as well as the burning of crops and seeds.

To the idiotic fulani terrorists, they are carrying out jihad but to these white eugenics fanatics (who won't let this world rest and follow its natural order), they are trying to roundly enslave us by what we eat. This is pure economic and food enslavement. What is happening in nigeria is not ordinary.

You guys that are studying agriculture engineering and agric science in tertiary institutions, what are your brains for? I have not even seen one single intelligent thread connecting the dots of the terrorist invasion vis-a-vis the destruction of farms and the elimination of the owners.

This is a very evil agenda and we all must be alive to this threat. When they have achieved what they want, the next phase is for them to come through disguised NGO's that will pretend to bring respite by giving (even selling) their own modified seeds (GMOs) which will deliberately have no longevity. In other words, they would hardly last if stored till the next season. So this way, we become enslaved to the west and they would keep selling their own kind of seeds to us while we would have lost our natural seedlings forever. Let me not even conjecture what the effects would be if we consume (heaven forbid) the produce of these seedlings.

This is NOT a joke! We are talking 21st century slavery here. No jokes! Open your eyes, o ye black folks.

I know some of them will come here and be quoting rubbish. I pity una next generation.

How you sit and compose such high level trash baffles me.

You sound all intelligent and yet can't back any of your claims with proof, I'm sure you're one of those who believe everything from the west is meant to destroy you.

Anyways the Gates Foundation exists not just in Nigeria, it does in Africa and other continents so your theory holds no water without proof.

I'll implore you shove your deluded view in the trash and encourage your government to be proactive in matters that makes Nigeria a better country.

this problem can be solved within 2 years if we pay attention to agriculture.

The government should disburse grants to farmers nationwide and setup committee to monitor the grant beneficiaries.

by next harvest, food will be plentiful and their will be food surplus.


You're partly right, cause you never talked about herdsmen and terrorists occupying most farming communities.

CBN is only papering over the cracks with the hope that Dangote refinery would be able to significantly cushion the demand for dollar.

They can't continue to subsidize the dollar for BDCs, it will eventually blow up in their faces just like dollar started gaining the day news about foreign reserve being used to subsidize the dollar officially broke.

Travel / Re: Aba Residents Groan As Rain Washes Off Newly Constructed People's Road (Video) by Tolupage(m): 9:16am On Apr 20
Took time to watch the video,
1. The road seems to be in good condition
2. The drainage are fine too and to some extent effective
3. Canals should have been built either side of the road to channel water
4. The road seems broken but not broken. Seems broken cause of the amount of dirt and debris that have been washed on it due to the amount of rain. The guy in the video shoulda seen that but kept mute
5. Some houses were built along water channel
6. A possible structural deficiency from the engineers, multiple culverts shoulda been built under the road to allow water flow from one part to the other.

Overall the guy in the video seems to be a propaganda enthusiast. The road wasn't damaged and the flooding wasn't as a result of the road.
