before they came africans were doing it to each other. Arabs also did it to North Africa . Its human nature . Benin empire lorded over many tribes, oyo lorded and taxed tribes like bariba, dahomey, nupe, etc. sokoto empire same. Kanuri empire same. Songhai same. No one was a saint

Excuse maker for colonialist robbers.

''Everybody was doing'' what to whom? You call paying taxes or tributes to an empire exploitation?

What then do you call the wholesale theft of your natural resources at gunpoint by colonialists?

Do you know they disrupted our internal economies by redirecting production away from serving internal markets, to serve Europe instead, eg via cash crops?

Do you know that that alone cost Africa hundreds of trillions of dollars in lost wealth?

You have no clue the extent of what they did.

But ever happy to play Gatekeeper on their behalf.

AI ChatGPT calculations put the West's debt to Africa at 5,000 Trillion dollars.

Britain's debt to Nigeria - 50 Trillion dollars.

Based on centuries of slavery, colonisation, and theft of natural resources, with attendant losses to the African economy.

AI has no provision for ''everybody did it'' as dreamt in your head..

It goes by pure calculations you don't even know exist.

Very poorly titled thread, suggesting the construction of the road will last up to 50 years.

Be clearer with your title next time, please, oga.

Celestialsword:
Everyone of your family or who are you referring to because Nigerians are not happy right now

Na small small nau..... It will reach round to everybody as the economy improves.

Abuja is our capital, so it will be prioritised in some of these things.

It's like in your house. Everywhere can be looking scattered, like your bedroom, kitchen etc, but you will make sure your sitting room looks okay and presentable, just in case somebody pops in....make e no be like say...

Ezmans:
a capital without taxi, water,no good road, no street lights, cctv, security Shame to you people, foreign based Nigerians are flying to lagos to have there holidays

Is it the Abuja we know or is it another Abuja inside the deepest queer recesses of your medulla oblangata that you're talking about?

atiku4President:
Yes, cos we have seen terrible leadership back home

Even if true, That’s no excuse.

You need to take responsibility for your own thoughts.

Professional government blamers.

Christistruth02:
Donald Trump himself is an election manipulator let everyone mind their own countries business

You no see the Military Chaos Trump has created on streets of US?

Can you imagine?

Trump that was rigged into power by Elon Musk is going to send people to oversee Nigerian elections?

The same Trump whose thugs stormed the US Congress after Biden won, scattering everywhere and even killing people while senators fled through the back door?

I mean, the way some people reason on this Nairaland is weird.

🤨

Short answer: No.

If they want to help Nigeria or Africa, they should return the $5,000 trillion they owe to Africa, based on centuries of exploitation.

This figure was reached by AI ChatGPT.

Britain owes Nigeria $50 trillion, according to AI.

Amounting to $379,000 for every single Nigerian including babies.

You people allow yourselves to be insulted by these thieves.

Calling them to oversee your elections.

Are you kidding me?

You are so lost, it’s unbelievable.

You need an Ibrahim Traore in Aso Rock so you can stop reasoning like Mugus before oyinbo.

Good ol’ Lagos.

franchasng:
Beautiful woman....I keep wondering how Baba Sope take get this woman and how him take them do

Stop equating light skin with beauty.

That is your colonial programming.

Before the colonial invasion by those thieves, we actually saw light skin as leprous and even devilish.

Most certainly not a symbol of ‘beauty’.

Tufia.

Peakdesign23:
This is AI abuse.

Others are using AI to solve problems and create solutions while this one is using it for his bush tribalism.

Pathetic.

A lost society.

Morals in the gutter.

People without conscience.

Utterly despicable.

Simple!

If you don’t like the road, don’t use it!!

shortgun:
We also have similar practices in different cultures across Nigeria; it's just that Christianity has eroded their significance over time.
Nkugho is practiced by the Efik people and a similar tradition sometimes called "Mbopo" exists among the Ibibio.
Generally, these rites involve the seclusion, feeding and training of young women in preparation for marriage.

In Igbo culture, there is a similar practice called "Iru Mgbede" or "Mgbede" it's a period during which a girl is prepared, beautified and educated about marriage.
There's also "Erhe r' ivie" practiced by the Urhobo people, where a girl is groomed and taught everything she needs to know about family life.
The North has "Kulle" or "Kunne"

You are indeed a cultural encyclopaedia.

Many thanks for sharing this.

SeeWahala:
Fixed

Why interject with your ugly tribalism?

You people lack basic decency.

franchasng:
I am not disputing your point but go through the comments from page 1 to where we are now, how your fellow Yoruba responders commented, is that how to have a national political discussion?


Why must you guys make everything about tribe and region all the time? Are you guys not tired of these your tribalism and regional bullshyyyts?


I am not against comparing candidate's past performance but you know deep down your heart that that's not where your people are driving to. That was how they turned 2023 Presidential election to a tribal war, even when Igbos haven't had a major contender in decades and were even supposed to be the ones crying wolf because if Nigeria were to be a fair nation, there was nothing wrong in microzoning the 2023 Presidency to Southeast as a sacrifice to unite Nigeria for once.



Make it make sense.


And to your claim that Obi failed, it's all lies because one, I doubt you lived in Anambra then not have you lived in Anambra for years to access his true performance and reason I kept telling you guys that comparing his performance with a Lagos state Governor's performance at that time is a huge mistake.

Anambra didn't have much revenue to embark on gigantic or giant projects like in Lagos.

The pressing issues in Anambra when Obi governed were high level insecurity, political godfatherism, dilapidated educational system and he tackled these things head on.


He returned secondary schools back to church missions for effective management and assisted them with funding.


He ended the high level insecurity in Anambra, it was so bad that Onitsha, upper Iweka, Obosi, etc were no go areas, he ended it.


He built the main campus of Anambra state university at Uli.


He reconstructed so many secondary schools he later handed over to church missions to manage and they are far better today.

He attracted a lot of industries including Intl Breweries where he invested Anambra state money as part of the tactics to attract the company to Anambra to invest


Orient Petroleum and so many others I can't remember off hand now.


Listen, if you lived in Anambra before Obi became Governor and after Obi governed Anambra, you will understand that Obi really tried based on the available resources in the state at that time.



I am not supporting Peter Obi because of tribe cos God in heaven knows I wouldn't have supported Rochas or Orji Uzo Kalu or Ikpeazu or Nnamani or Ohakim or Ekweremadu.


Peter Obi is not the first Igbo man to contest for President. You guys ought to know that for most ordinary Igbos to be supporting Obi while the elects are rejecting him, it means Peter Obi is good but tribalism and hatred won't let you guys from the other side understand this truth

So to you, “handing secondary schools back to missionaries” is a sign of progress?

Why not also hand your state government back to British colonial officials?

Lost people.

Factcheck0001:
don't mind them

Someone who made poverty rise in tiny Anambra believe he will do magic in 36 states?

The only people that takes this man serious are those who need Ibo president desperately, I will prefer otti, umahi, soludo over him a million times cos we can see what those ones are doing

Every single one of those guys you mentioned is more qualified than Obi to be president of Nigeria.

Did you transform Anambra state in 8 years?

Wayo man.

Jibiti man.

Oseni Rufai again?

Is he never tired of controversy, this guy?

ambale:
But hunger and inflation can be compared abi?

Hypocrites

If you are hungry, go on ChatGPT and ask it for a low-startup cost business you can start in your area.

If you have money to browse internet and Nairaland, you have no excuse to be hungry.

idealogical:
This man is really a first grade nuisance

You abuse and criticize politicians and even the president and nothing happened to you, you criticize the governor of your state everyday and nothing happens to you, countless Nigerians abuse and insults the president everyday and even calling him a drug dealer and not jng happens.

Your brother spent 4 years in office abusing and criticizing Buhari everyday but was never arrested.

So, what is this overfed failed content creator talking about?

Exactly. in ''horrible, terrible dictatorial Africa'' these same people come in here and call the president of the country all sorts of unprintable names including a 'drug lord', 'druggie', 'thief', 'looter', everything.

On a daily basis.

And nothing happens to them.

Make that make sense.

Meanwhile, westerners will see that Fayose video and think ''Damn.. It must be really dangerous to criticise a president in Africa. What a horrible place of backward, uncivilised people.''.

This is how Nigerians crucify themselves with their own mouths.

theredaddy:
You still havent answer the question

What 'question'?

If Tinubu or say the President of Ghana or Kenya appointed a man who was the richest man in the world, worth 400 billion dollars, and a quarrel broke out between them, what do you think would happen?

They would kill him?

Jail him?

What exactly are you saying?

The OP said it was just between Trump and ''a businessman''.

No. It was between Trump and the world's richest man worth 400 billion dollars. Big difference.

If such a person had a problem with an African leader in similar circumstances, Nothing would have happened to him, just as Nothing happened to Musk after he quarrelled with Trump in America.

I couldn’t stand that Okoro voice claiming Tinubu spent “150 billion dollars on private jet”.

All these ethnic-driven dropouts sef.

Reference:
We operate feudal societies in Africa. That's why. And tried endlessly to mix that oil with water to no avail.

African leaders are weighed down by personality issues. They want to be called democratic yet want to operate as maxim leaders.

The monarchies in the west and east have remained strong and relevant yet they stay well within their boundaries and leave governance to the operators of democracy.

Here a commoner is elected councillor and he instantly becomes pig headed.

So Trump that’s been disobeying court orders and firing people from their jobs because of their racial origin, bundling brown skinned people off the streets to El Salvadorian prisons without due process is….what? An African?

Are you aware that Trump is a criminal convict on 34 felony counts who did not serve his term in prison and is instead their President?

Tinubu who has never been charged, much less convicted of a single crime, you insult and call a criminal, while elevating an actual convict in America as someone “inferior Africans” should emulate?

You people are just lost.

SmartPolician:
The reason is that in the west, leaders come to power to make positive impact, create jobs and make things better than they met it. There's a limit to the action Trump can take against Musk because he knows that Musk is the pride of America for being an extremely innovative billionaire who created tens of thousands of jobs and wealth in America and worldwide.

On the other hand, African leaders come to power to massage their egos and loot with reckless abandon. They don't care whether they create jobs or not. If you challenge them, they will introduce one policy that will see you return to your village broke or use security operatives to deal with you. That's why White South Africans argued, in the past, that black people have no business being in power.

All the earliest images of your Jesus, Mary and the apostles were of pitch black people.

Go on Google and type “black madonna” to see hundreds of those images from European churches.

So I suppose God is also “inferior” to oyinbo?

stuffs2002:
Isaac Fayose is just another low self esteemed Nigerian trying to demarked Nigeria at every given opportunity.

AS a Nigerian who have lived outside Nigeria, I can tell you that Nigerians are a lot freer than a lot of those countries.

Honestly, Nigerians have a major issue with racial complex.

I have never seen a Black Country where people are like this.

They just elevate whites to godlike beings while placing themselves at the very bottom.

It’s a scandal.

I have never seen or heard anyone praise the chaotic developments in the US as something “good” to be aspired to, except in Nigeria, this country of self loathers.

It’s tragic.

theredaddy:
call it disparage but the truth no get two name

What truth?

Your only problem is self loathing and oyinbo worship.

A crisis in the increasingly lawless and chaotic US administration led by narcissistic elements like Trump and Musk showing dysfunction at the very peak of authority is somehow twisted by you people to be a Good Thing which “Africans” are incapable of.

I mean, I have no words.
