The guy is not just a tribal bigot but super duper dull

It's such a shame, see the redundant epistle he typed based on a wrong assumption (OP's moniker) rather than addressing the cogent points raised by the author.

When it rains it pours.

Chimookigwe:
Honestly, I so much love Igbos. Very innovative people. They can proffer solutions to the problems of others, only that they are incapable of finding solutions to their own problems.

Just this week, they had to bring firetrucks from across the Niger into Anambra state to quench fire in Onitsha. In that same Anambra, erosion has washed away some communities.

Those in Abia are organising kerosene drinking competitions among themselves.

Look at Imo and Enugu and see if they have leaders in those places.

Yet, Uche wants to build an ark in Lagos.

I bet you didn't read the footnote... Tribalism has eaten deep into the brains of several of you. Very shameful.

Sycophantic Nigerians, trust them to show face.

Pavore9:
I just love crossing borders on foot.

Best of all in a place where 3 countries' borders meet.

That was the dude that was asking "have you ever been kissed violently?" Smh

sirfemoz:
Nice one, but they should endeavour to put proper drainage in place. If not, by next year we will all be back to square one.

And use quality materials too, not a shoddy job as they normally do for contract sake.

The person below spent 3 hours in traffic just within VI and we wonder why Nigeria has one of the lowest life expectancy rates in the world. Currently low 50s when people in other part of the world on average live to their 80s.

eternityk:
He's planning to take over the port
I don't need to lie
Even Niger government not Niger state, came to meet him
He even has a place for importing only cars
See,Igbos are ok,yeah we agree
But would it kill u to celebrate others
Also the owner of the largest fleet of helicopters in west Africa is a yoruba man and their are other private Nigerian air owners too, after all, na loans dey carry all of our billionaires
Later
I have to go sleep

No wonder. If you were gainfully engaged, you wouldn't have time for the antics you display on nairaland. I hope the mods are paying attention to all you divisive people.

Even a thread that could have been a sensible thread, you must make nonsense of it.

This is what the lazy youths spend their time doing, creating redundant threads that will then descend into tribalistic abuses.
Your mates in Hong Kong, go and see what they are doing.
Smh.

Nigeria keeps borrowing and borrowing and borrowing but no results.

PoliticalWitch:
Because of years of bad economic choices, we are not rich.

And right now, we ain't earning enough from oil. So, either we pay more in tax....or we take another loan.

It is sad that corrupt polticans loot despite our poverty.

There is no point paying more in tax or taking more loans which will go down the drain. Let the holes be plugged FIRST, the government should address corruption first and foremost else it makes a nonsenseof everything else. We can't keep pouring water into a basket.

PoliticalWitch:
For everyone crying 'the government is oppresive'...please let us be realistic.

Nigeria isn't and never was a rich country. We rely on oil revenues...and right now, oil is at 59 dollars per barrel. We need oil to be at $140 per barrel before we can have a budget that is good enough for all our needs.

So, either taxes go up, or we just keep on taking loans. Remember we are losing $80 per barrel, and we have had to take loans to keep afloat as oil has not been favouiring us since 2014 April.

Besides, many countries have a tax on sugary drinks.

It is sad that we have and have governments that have messed this country up, but unitl oil goes above $100 or more per barrel, taxation has to be the way to raise funds. Sorry guys...it is that...or we beg IMF for another loan.

What a comparison - "many countries have a sugar tax" Does Nigeria provide its citizens with the benefits and environment those countries provide? Obviously not.

seunmsg:
We always like to shift responsibilities in this country. Nothing ever happens naturally or as a result of some people’s negligence or incompetence. Anything that happens is always the handiwork of the other tribe or political opponent or haters.

Let’s even assume Buhari (the usual culprit) planned the tanker explosion, why can’t the Anambra State fire service under the control of Anambra State government quickly put out the fire and contain the situation?

Lagos State has witnessed tanker explosion/fallen fuel tanker more than any state in Nigeria and they always contain the situation in most cases. Instead of blaming others, ipob should call on Anambra State government to put the state fire service in good shape to prevent future occurrence.

Whilst I agree with the crux of your comment, that highlighted part is false. Lagos is as bad as all other states and equally needs to put its fire service in shape. Stop making false assertions online.

The whole country needs an overhaul, no sugar coating. Eod.

Is this the same Bello that hasn't paid salaries, pensions, students' bursaries or another Bello?
Nigeria.... so many Esaus selling their futures for a pot of pottage.

dre11:
Teidi noted that the 44 political parties have objectively analysed all parties and their candidates and came to the conclusion that Governor Bello was head and shoulders above the rest.

He maintained that the governor’s first term which he was rounding up was successful and he was justified enough to seek re-election for another four years.

boss1310:
This is not the first time this is happening,in my area at upper new market road fire raged for four hours even with the calls we put through to anambra fire service it was the asaba fire service which we called within 30 minutes that arrived first before the Anambra fire service arriving when the fire has been quenched.that fire destroyed many houses,filling station and many businesses from DMGS round about down to my own street
I always see whether I will call it campaign or goodwill threads uploaded weekly by one particular guy here depicting the achievements of Obiano and I wonder if this is the same of governor of my state which am living in
we massively voted for this man when Obi appointed him but since the commencement of his second term the man has done mostly nothing as governor of anambra state owing to the fact he spent most of the state coffers campaigning for second term and doing the same for all APGA house assembly members.
forget what people post here come to anambra and see for yourself especially this rainy season.do you know how many people died yesterday and businesses that were lost forever only because we have incompetent leaders
am outraged not only because in this hardship that this evil befell my fellow humans but it affected me personally too,I dont have shop at Iweka road but a customer whose shop got burnt and he is owing me,I was there yesterday no single thing came out from his shop.all these idiots who come here praising politicians I still dont know what you gain by doing that

His name is or something like that. You never find political jobbers on posts like these. Soulless beings.

Logobenz0:
Thanks sweetheart Nairaland is for Nigerians and Nigerians Alon. Let this sink into their skull. Especially those Zulus they're all over Nairaland disturbing our peace

Don't mind them. I don't understand how a non-Nigerian will come to a NIGERIAN forum to attack Nigerians. Nonsense.

Gracealone:
So what are we talking about? 2 per quarter means 8 per annum.

If 8 is normal, then at what rate does overseas travel become too many?

dipoolowoo:
This directive was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari as part of additional cost saving measures aimed at instilling financial discipline and prudence, particularly, in the area of official travels.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, it was emphasised that the affected officials can only embark on more than two foreign trips in three months “except with the express approval of Mr President.”

In addition, all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) have been asked to submit their Yearly Travel Plans for statutory meetings and engagements to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and/or the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation for express clearance within the first quarter of the fiscal year, before implementation.

Thank you. Funny how no one is seeing this, but rather applauding this facade.

psychologygh:
What are you doing on facebook, twitter,IG,Youtube,etc.Don't you know its an American forum and site.Didn't you read his comment insulting Ghana unprovoked buh you skip that and come to attaxk my reply to him.Do you know the number of Nigerians that goes to Ghanaweb.com and others to insult Ghanaians and ecen on these same forum,you post Ghanaian news and insult Ghanaians and the country without limits.Don't be a hypocrite and blind patriot or whatever. I have every right to be on the internet and Google platforms. If you don't want foreigners to be on your site,tell your government to restrict the forum and internet to only Nigerians like how North Korea and China does.

Facebook, twitter and other platforms are used by people across the globe. Nairaland is PREDOMINANTLY used by Nigerians. The name is Nairaland - the Nigerian Forum. Facebook has never referred to itself as the American platform, get it?

I don't have the time to read through every single comment. I read the comments on the last page PLUS the post you created during the South Africa/Nigeria crisis which clearly showed you have no good intentions whatsoever towards Nigerians. Nigerians are the majority of users on nairaland so please stay clear if you have nothing +ve

psychologygh:
hahaha,Ghana owes you nothing and even that 160 million dollars is peanuts for Ghana to even owe. Say the Volta River Authority which is an autonomous body that use that gas to generate just a minimum part of electricity to sell to the people of Ghana and don't say Ghana owe you.And that debt is even not true.We are a nation of over 65 billion dollars GDP and our internal debts alone is over 15 billion dollars so 160 million dollars is nothing to us.Even one millionaire in Ghana can pay off that money.Accept that we are better than your zoo and move on.

I don't understand people like you, pray tell what are you doing on a Nigerian forum? If all you want to do is insult Nigerians, better find elsewhere to do it, definitely not here.

Lalasticlala where are you o? lol

Funny comments

These guys are sick. Communication tax for what? On top of the multitude of taxes they have been introducing over these past 2 years, YET roads are still bad, economy is still woeful, health sector non-existent.

Wow, she doesn't look it at all. Happy birthday to her.

heendrix:
lol you later went?

Haha! He must have slowly reversed his steps after reading this thread

macjurek:
Dear Femi,

Rest in peace till we meet and part no more, but if it is hell i strongly know we will not meet.

But point of correction, parents train your children well with moral and discipline,private school products where they pamper and treat them with unnecessary care, since they pay huge fees to school owners and cannot correct them,now the correction is effected in a bad way.........

Please can the Private school ,he passed out from comment or attest his behaviour to the World while he school there to further conform his personality.

Thanks.

NOTE: I really do not know him,but am concern about behaviours inherited from homes and private schools.

How insensitive and lacking empathy can some people be? Na wa o.

Mr Judge Judy, I suppose you are the one that taught him in the private school, smh.

"International man" who is far from international in his thinking and exposure
The dude has been slaughtered on this thread

etrouble:
I think for the first time in the history of this Buhari's administration, everyone who has even just a little sense is in support of Buhari. Though Biafran Flattinos have sworn by the graves of Emeka Ojukwu and Chinua Achebe that they will never see anything good in Buhari, these same Flattinos are in support of this policy of border closure. What this implies is that Biafran Flattinos may not really hate Buhari, may it is his policies that they hate. But then, criticism is not the same as revolting, cursing and abusing our dear Buhari. Let's criticise government responsibly and work together to move Nigeria forward.

But, wait oooo, did I just type that shit up there?

liar maybe u re eating unprocessed rice from your village. Local rice re processed by milling machine and it doesn't have any stones.

Appendicitis symptoms will increase tremendously in your family.

olujastro:
Benin Republic intentionally refused to police its own borders with Nigeria for decades because smuggling of illegal goods into Nigeria constitutes about 25% of its economic GDP.
Benin Republic practices a leeching economic system where they import what they don't need(rice, cars, food, etc.), collect import duties on them and dump everything into Nigeria that has the market and purchasing power.
They also smuggle our fuel that Nigerian govt has spent billions on to subsidise for Nigerians. That's why..."no country can survive economically with a country like Benin Republic as its neighbour"

Even though our corrupt customs are helping them, the Nigerian government expects Benin Republic to do its own part first, hence the border closure.

Just imagine. Full time leeching, lol.

Wickedness. And those who looted such money expect to live long?

Fragility6:
I tire o. Them no even get shame sef

Very shameful something.

Begging on nairaland is the latest trend now.
