Hunchogee:
Really which state is that

I'm not mentioning the state but I assure you it's one of those states with high internal IGRs.

theenchanter:
it's not every state that need flyovers.

Some states need to invest in education, some agriculture, some human development.... Every state should invest in their area of priority, flyover is not a threshold for development.

Abi nau....I know a particular state that has so many flyovers and yet,most of the connected to those flyovers have been as worse as they are before the flyovers were constructed. The flyovers are there now but the roads also remain untouched.

BassReeves:
... and to think he was a school teacher/headmaster.
No looking down on either school teacher/headmaster or demeaning but it's was what it was

He wasn't just a school headmaster. If I'm not mistaken, he studied at Cambridge or UCL. That was when studying in the UK had meaning. He, Awolowo, Zik, Akintola, Ojukwu etc all had topnotch education.

See what the lack of historical knowledge is doing to us.
If not for this news-story, I wouldn't have known anything about JK Randle. This is what instills the American consciousness of American children even before age 8, they know about much of their history and the heroes.

tizzle:
I think the north has more numbers in the NASS than the south. Secondly most of the southern law makers are just in there for the sitting allowance, they don't really care about the interest of the people they represent but their personal interest. Some are afraid of speaking up against this kind of nonsense.

The bolded is the main reason. The only way they think they can serve their people is by erecting substandard solar street lights that won't light three months. The real representation they're meant to do is left undone. It's a big shame on them. They're the major problem of Southern Nigeria.

Aufbauh:
Why are the ipobians so bothered about how kanu was captured?

Whether he was arrested, abducted or kidnapped all we care is that the supreme dilector is back to the'zoo'.

Modify:
There's no legality to an immoral man like cownu.
He is on the run so his movement is illegal hence he shouldn't expect his arrest to be legal.

"Nemo dat quod non actionio' meaning legality is not actionable in the case of illegality.

And the morality of your paymasters is what brought Kanu to limelight. Isn't it?

OSDD:
I don't like doing this.
I don't need clarification for a Yoruba proverb that simply means " you do not tell a child not to injure or cause injury to himself as long as he can live with the consequences "...
Now how does that relate with Karma which plainly states that "what goes around, comes around " which is not always true in every situation....karma and self -inflicted don't relate....

Okay... that's your understanding. No problem. We should continue with our daily businesses now. Shan't we?

OSDD:
How does karma relate with that your proverb?......you have been noticed

Hey....what do you mean by that? Let me tell you how it relate if you have knowledge of proverbs and sayings in Yoruba language. Someone says an action doesn't have repercussions (karma), I'm saying there is repercussions especially if the person involved is prepared to bear the consequences (da igbó gbé).

You should have sought for clarification and I'd have given it to you in simplicity. You're the one trying to prove something here, I have nothing to prove to anyone.

SARSCoV2:
You people just talk, not knowing you are exposing yourself. So you called Nigeria a Zoo cos a mechanical failure? Tell me one nation that such does not happen? I am believing you are versatile.

You guys talk as it tires don't puncture or cars don't break down in the advanced world you mention. Calling your country a Zoo only exposes your inexposure.

I've never called Nigeria a zoo and to say Nigerians call their country a zoo because of a mechanical failure as you called it will be quite mischievous. Take a look at all the events happening in the country and the height of hopelessness among the youths and even the elderly people and tell me if any affected individual won't call the country names.

HedwigesMaduro:
While the elders are pious monks who are great role models for upright living. As exemplified by those braindead mutts in government.

He's forgotten that the bad value system of a large majority of elders in Nigeria is what makes this country a terrible place to live on all fronts. They heightened corruption, nepotism, robbery and all sort of financial crimes and the youths are just inheriting the same from them

BuyAndSellStuff:
Only in Nigeria where a criminal's relatives are arrested in their place. I've never seen this happen anywhere if the relatives are not complicit in the crime.

Na wa.

Read the storyline and see the complicity of the parents in the committed crime. They were part of the crime and their son was the CEO.

OSDD:
Aiye karma ma baje.... Ko ni ku re

velocity25:
Another scheme to loot Southerners oil money, what was result of Maikantin Bello oil finding that cost whooping $20 billion dollars?
Northern elites are scam.

Southern elites are greater scammers for waiting and seeing all the evils being perpetrated against their people, yet their mouths are shut because they want money in their pockets. From the East to the West and to the SS, all our leaders are the same. Let's leave these northerners alone jare. We already know them. it's the devilish leaders down south we should be dragging.

Between Nigerians and hardships, we'd see who would win.

NothingDoMe:
Osinbajo has actually shown himself to be an adept leader. However it seems Yorubas are still divided on who gets their support. Osinbajo or Tinubu. The latter will be a huge mistake.

I think Osinbajo is not an adept political leader like you're trying to portray him. Forget individualization, he's part of the current government that has brought untold hardships to Nigerians. If he isn't, he ought to have resigned long ago and then I'll trust his credibility.

Bolustical:
Watch out for white slaves who will condemn the FG for this good initiative.

How can a private entity keep making money from Nigeria without remitting its taxes?

Can a Nigerian firm try the same abroad without the FBI/IRS breathing on its neck?

The hatred for Buhari has made some of you haters of your country but we move.

What are you insinuating?

Do those entities have physical presence in Nigeria? No. Are they the only platforms making money from NIgerians no. What this actually translates to is that the government will be taxing virtually every website that generates income from NIgerians. If that doesn't translate to hardship for Nigerians, no problem.

The question is, why is Buhari all of a sudden interested in taxing tech companies heavily?

1.1 billion in some people's pocket right?


Nigeria is a country where people dump refuse on waterways thinking it will "go away". They don't ask where it's going to. The same is applicable in our financial system as a nation.

Some people think that wealth cannot be depleted. So "take your own and I take my own" and this is where we are.

KingOfAmebo:
Nigerians drive the latest cars.

Nigerians use the latest release of iphones.

Yet some Enemies of Nigeria, Enemies of their own country will paint this beautiful nation like it is Somalia online but in reality it is not.

There's no country in the world without challenges, it is the citizens of those countries that fix the country by being active in politics, but in Nigeria these demonic possesed enemies of their country will just sit down and be typing nonesense with their smartphones.

If Nigeria is as bad as you paint it you won't be able to afford data to tell us.

Useless people using their left hand to describe their father's house.

What's the ratio of Nigerians using car (anyone) to those not using cars or unemployed. You're only seeing Nigeria from the angle of exposure to modernities and social media. There are some places in Nigeria where an average 20 year old doesn't know what ordinary AC is!

discusant:
When will they get decentralized government? Never under the present political structure of Nigeria.

Elders feeding fat from the present political process of Nigeria must stop to determine for the younger generations.

Youths determine the fate of elders in a saner country.

The only issue I have with your submission is because of Prof. Fálọlá. I don't think Nigeria has any other historian still living in the class of that man. And FYI, he's not eating under Nigerian government. He's a director at University of Texas, Austin. Some of these guys actually know what they're talking about.

tydi:
The last scholar I know who happens to be a Yoruba is Wole Soyinka.
Where are these so called scholars then?

If you don't know Toyin Fálọlá, then you don't know any Yoruba scholar. The man is called "History" himself. Not just in Ibadan, or Nigeria but in fact, Africa.

xpressionx:


Does Buhari want to know people who own private jets in the country so he can collect loan from them?

What Buhari cannot do does not exist

Buhari cannot stay in government forever!

Fahdiga1:
Sanwo-olu can do more than this if only Tinubu can give him a breathing space and not always demanding for Lagos allocation every month. Truly Lagos is no man's land

You were always present whenever Tinubu is taking breathe away from him right?

FYI: I don't like either of them but let's be factual and express our intelligence thereby.

It's simple, she's an idiot. Instead of fighting the man, just move on jejely and act as if the man doesn't exist.

He has subtly passed a message to her that she isn't presenting herself well to him. She should work on herself and become more serious with her life. But I see her continuing in the same attitude that got her tagged "dog".

Buhari train? Hope you're not talking about my train and the same train belonging to every Nigerians bearing the brunt of the debts Buhari went into while the project was being inflated here and there.

You better emancipate yourself from mental servitude op.

sunshineV:
i saw a stranger on my street, facebook showed her as "people u may know"

Both of you probably had your locations turned on or they've tracked the network you're using. These are well designed algorithms to make you more "social" or isn't that why you're on FB?

CharisEleos:
I'm an introvert. I do it too but most times mine is prayers. Sometimes I do voice recordings or videos too.

I see it as a way of feeling yourself.

A lot of contradictions here don't you think. In fact, more than talking in their heads, introverts talk to themselves when they're alone. It is through the periods of conversing in their heads and to themselves, that they build inner strength that keep them confident and charged up to face situations challenging their introversion.
As for me, the first place I develop an idea, make a new decision, change my thinking etc is my head. And it's a great blessing if I have time alone and I can silently converse with myself.

UstazAhmed:
That is what Nigeria Christians are known for. They can never support the government when the Fulanis are in power. Look at the way Oyedepo, Adefarasin and suleiman are criticising Buhari upandan. Something they never did when Jonathan and Obasanjo was in power. Mbaka that supported him, have been attacked by his people and out of fear, saying otherwise now.

That's why Islam is the best, we are not after buildings but true worship of Allah

You can compare the bad governance of Gowon, Obasanjo and Jonathan to the bad governance of all other presidents to rule Nigeria and tell us if any of the other presidents still achieve a peaceful government compared to the rest.

You were talking of Oyedepo and the rest not supporting Buhari, are they not vindicated now? Were their fear not confirmed now?

Christianity, despite its wrong application in Nigeria, still preaches and practices peace.

post=102514254:
A better Nigeria all around is all we want.
All we ask for as citizens is basic infrastructures for better lives.

Oil was first discovered in Oloibiri, in Nigeria's Bayelsa State, in 1956.
That was 65 years ago and we cannot boast of just a single refinery in the history of our nation.
Even at the period we made a colossal profits selling this same Oil.
All these money was looted blindly, money running into Trillions of Naira!!!
Monies that could have turned our country to somewhere close to UAE.

We will continue to believe in her.
One day, Nigeria will be the country of our dreams.

God bless Anambra State.
God bless Nigeria.

Was 'our darling daddy' not the first minister of petroleum? They're still in power now maybe you can help us tell them before they leave the government because they're fixing Twitter instead of refineries.

chiedu7:
My problem is that they borrow the money to spend in Niger Republic,
leaving the South with the debts.

They don't do it all alone. They do it with the help of some southerners from East, West and the South-South. If they were alone, they wouldn't be this successful. Our greatest enemies are our own people who are working tenaciously for them despite their mistreatment of Nigerians.

AntiBMC:
Very sneaky ppl, dose Chinese. But these fulani people are so foolish and clueless, they don't know what they are entering into. All because they want to push their expansionist agenda. Little wonder China jumped at the offer.

We're saying these with some ease, we don't know how much trouble it portends for Nigerian youths and elites who mostly use the internet do we? Nigeria is really going to be more difficult to live .

See, if they become successful with that agenda, they will receive supports from southern politicians who are also hungry for more power. The way everything may go, it's either Nigeria go into another war against itself or something similar happens. But tougher days than these are coming indeed.
