Sure

now that it's clear Nigeria has no future whatsoever
I advise everyone should just face his life and make it better, hustle for your money and give your family a good life

And upon making some money
if you feel like leaving the HQ of extreme poverty....

you can also leave

No need wasting emotions anymore on Nigeria

just do your thing and leave this politicians

Olorunnim:
With what I'm seeing on my TV screen Yemen sef I'll go.

I have always known Nigeria is FINISHED lol

just that many people are not smart to see the reflexes

michoim:
Congrats!!! Your loyalty and commitment to better Nigeria has been rewarded

by being a mace thief?

lmao

wristbangle:
Lobatan! Na so dem take demystified SE.

Because no SE person in the first 6 in Nigeria does not mean my people are demystified

We will continue running out businesses and living our lives

Olorunnim:

DonSageII:
Indeed. Nigerians and Nigeria is cursed. A cursed nation will never see progress till the end of this generation.

Make money and goan get live in the United States or Europe, in case you're looking for a system that works.

A finished country with no hope whatsoever

simonjo:
The world is a global village and it only makes sense for goods to be sourced from the cheapest sources. The move by American companies was only natural otherwise they would have not been where they are today. Who doesn't want to take advantage of a profitable opportunity. Besides many people don't know but the US doesn't have the the capability to produce the current demand for iphones and samsung.

When it comes to design US leads, but much more is involved that the designs. China created the environment for themselves...for example there's no US city that can presently host over 400,000 workers under the same roof....such requires building a city from scratch. Then comes logistics and manpower.
China also depends on US for R& and many other areas because the US burns billions of USD in those areas.

The truth is the greatest culprit is neither of those countries. African will suffer the most and it's funny how they don't even realize that.

I don't regard Africa it Africans as anything in the acheme5of things

it's a shame that in of African ancestry

One useless African country just voted mace thief as the deputy Senate president



while the outside world is taking position and battling for advantage, Nigger Africans are still chasing shadows...

By the time China is done with Africa, we go know wassup

Shameless people

Built2last:
Is Nigeria redeemable?

it's not

Failed country
FINISHED zoo

ogbonti:
If e pain me like you said, why are you trying so had to keep fooling yourself, you broke azz nigga....who thinks a million dollar is all the money in the world you dey fear one million dollars because of naira exchange rate to dollar, LMKMD poverty mentality!

it's possible for you to have a million dollar networth

No big deal there

A nairalander I know here bought a home in Los Angeles 30 years back and the home is worth over 2m today

So it depends

Many people don't know that possibilities are endless

you don't just judge anyhow

I see no reason why you have to lie tho

So I somehow believe you

see how humans are living in squalid conditions

Litmus:
All nations in the world need fixing. No nation is FIXED, all are works in progress - literally. There'd be no need for the concept of heaven in dreams if a Developed Nation existed on Earth. The tragedy of Nigeria is that they have been successfully fooled into believing that there are nations out there that are "Developed" ( Perfect even) instead of what those nations are, which is different not even Developed let alone superior palaces. The tragedy is that Nigerians are being driven to self destruction. What constitute perfect human living conditions is something for philosophical debate. I've been to places in Jamaica where Rastars live off the land, have no electricity, fetch water from stream, wash clothes in stream , sleep in zinc and stick sharks and are perfectly happy and do not want to live the Western lifestyle. The African American Searching for Uhoru left a corporate America existence to come share in his dream of a different type of living in Africa. Scenery for scenery, infrastructure for infrastructure, space for space, Africa is not better than America Yet he is willing to leave all that behind in order to live in Africa. You know why? See, beyond his dream for self respect in finding a common purpose with his African kin, he understands that life could be a different thing from all that American Electricity, high rise buildings, smooth car highways and insufferable sense of superiority destroying the humanity of the whites there. He understands the meaning of Quality of Life. He understands that fulfilling life is a complex combination of things.

Upshot, stop down talking Nigeria. Nigeria is great.

LookatDisWan

Nigeria is great my black arse

(Nigeria was once great and has potential to be great, but in 2019, Nigeria is NOWHERE near great )

The HQ of extreme poverty on earth
country ruined by evil governance
And the list goes on

Forget all that story you are telling up there

There are Developed countries
emerging countries
And $hithole countries

That is the hierarchy
Ways differ and that is true

but by the common metric used to judge

hands are not equal

datigbogirl:
No wonder, I've stayed at the border with the anglophone Cameroon, they're so terrible that all they know is money. They can steal anything steal able and all they know is Beer and Fvck. Very disgusting sets of ppl, had to beat it and run the fvck outta d place...they're Nigerians but their behavior is totally different from the average Nigerian. Even the names of their villages sef, you go know sey these ones no follow at all...

one of them almost screwed over my business
when I show am RED EYE

he knew what's up...

It's not abt wealth or poverty
good things cannot come out of bad people

look ar the trend of stealing pants for rituals (which btw I don't believe works)

Nigeria people just got to hear it in the news, and stealing of pants free exponentially

what does that tell you?

Tell Nigerians that the new thing is to steal shit from soakwawy and give to one "baba"

the rate at which you will see broken soakaway will surprise you

Nigerians are a special type of people

Urchman200:
Speaking from the area that affect them directly as if not issuing visas Is the major problem of Nigeria, a lot of bad policies and evil leadership decisions going on in the country does not call for concern, you will never see them speak against evil leadership Visa and Visa that.

These things are all encompassing

djon78:
It has not yet dawned on many people what is actually facing this Nation presently.

I think of my family members each day who are still in that country

It's a pity what our country has become

djon78:
The world has marked and remembered Nigeria. Even the high and mighty cannot get away with it. Example US visa, maximum they give now is 3 months, even if you had 10years before, and you must que in line at the embassy.

Nigeria has been completely battered, I heard from some sources that many multinational firms are exiting Nigeria. That MTN is leaving Nigeria too.

Many people have not yet understood what is happening. Many people with good paying jobs are exiting themselves and families to especially Canada PR.

Many Nigerians don't understand yet what is happening. They are still living like ostriches, burying there head in the sand

don't mind them

Nigeria is in hot soup at the moment

Yet we have millions of IDIOTS who cheer this demonic gov't that got us there in the first place

now today is the national assembly elections
And we have useless youths cheering at the prospects of a suspected terrorist, spineless stooge, suspected U.S. felon and others leading the legislature

And you think Nigerians are not mad

datigbogirl:
You mean these other mentioned countries follow join

from my experience with them
they worship money and vanity too
Anglo Cameroon do a lot of kidnapping, 419 and other Fvckery
as opposed to the Franco phone side that's less inclined to do that
It's not abt wealth or poverty
It's the mindset of the pple

oyatz:
Have you noticed that things don't work like that in Post colonial Africa?

How many companies in Nigeria are ran by third Geneations of the founders?

Where are the children of Sir Louis Ojukwu, Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, Emmanuel Inwanyawu, Gabriel Igbinedion, Candido Da-Rocha, Fajemirokun? They had great head start ahead of people like Tony Elumelu,Jimoh Ibrahim, Jim Ovia, Adenuga or Raymond Dokpesi.

its a big shame really

2019elections:
The desperation is a quest for survival.

So burkinabes do not have quest for survival?
The Malians do not have quest to survive?

These are countries poorer than Nigeria mind you

I travel to these countries for business and I see for myself

Nigeria people are TOO DESPERATE for wealth and not survival per se

una wan drive benz and all that

Nigeria, Liberia, Anglo Camerron and Ugandans are desperate to the extreme

if it's about survival why are folks from middle class homes in NIGERIA also neck deep in Yahoo

I get your point still
.But naija pple too desperate

martineverest:
it can NEVER be fixed in next 50 years with nigerians and their nigerian MENTALITY: HYPOCRISY, SENTIMENTALISM,GREED, CORRUPTION and HATRED

the mentality is the problem

2019elections:
If I may ask, who are the WE?

In this country, citizens are already pushed to the wall and definitely will want to defy all odds to survive.
How do you tell someone who hawks pure water under a scotching sun that "change begins with him"?

How do u tell someone who graduated 5 yrs ago without a job that he or she should live a decent life?

With all due respect to Simi, most of these celebrities did crazy things to get to the top. When they do, they start giving motivational speeches / advises.

Dear Simi, there is frustration in the land. Such advice can't through the grassroot. At this stage we are, everyone is displaying his/her survival ability.

I'm so sorry to say this... Nigeria isn't looking to be better, at least not in some decades to come.


Modified

To those quoting me, the ambition of an average Nigerian is to meet his basic needs, not necessarily to live large, if such basic needs aren't met, he goes prowling. Most people dwell in illegalities to survive.

One day, the poor will have nothing to feed on but the rich.

I understand where you are coming from
But still...

It's still up to the govt to make life less difficult

And Nigerians too get too much wahala as well


Burkina is pooree than Nigeria

But you will not see the level of desperation in NIGERIA there?


even Some thing as basic as my soap, they were amazed and considered my brand a "luxury"

That is to give you a picture of Burkina

So the govt played its part in ruining Nigeria

the people also played their part in killing Nigeria


Nigerians are TOO DESPERATE

elijahkayode:
no mind them, they want to kwantinue stealing other country intellectual property, yet they keep their own tech safe from prying eyes

China o

USA o

Russia o

they are ALL THIEVES

That is why they maintain extensive spy networks.

there is a reason SNOWDEN is an exile in.Russia remember?

So nobody holy

It's only Africa that has useless diplomats that are just there to enjoy while adding zero value to their countries

The other diplomats and spy chiefs and network are out there to steal info and all that

[quote author=elijahkayode post=79218243][/quote]pls can you rearrange your post
It's somewhat scattered I don't understand it
thanks

This Muric piece of shit again?

pocohantas:
Lol. I can't even vex, it is you...

lol
what I said is it not true
I know say naija men SOME TIMES no dey try
but you see naija women? lmao una no dey try for unasef too
like Kennygee said, we are victims of the society
that's just the summary

QDubz:
Lol everybody suddenly turning into technology, economic experts...
.
.
Do you know this
Do you know that ...... Blah blah blah
.
Now what y'all fail to observe is the implications fo the US actions..
"It said the attributes of a wise is when he takes a farther look at something near, or closer look at something far"
.
Now let take a closer look at the geopolitical implications of the US actions
.
The first message the US is sending to the world is " Hey am the big bully, we aint dependable better develop an alternative cause we got monopoly and can pull the plug whenever we want"
.
Now this ripple started by the US is gradually turning into Tsunami!!!
#Turkey is telling the US to shove it patriot missile and F35 and going for the Russian S400 (mind you turkey is a NATO member)
#India a largely non allied state, is suffering sanctions cause they going for the S400 over the patriot
#Iraq with a US funded government is ditching the US weapons...
.
.
Global powers are paying attention
And it only a matter of time before the US lose it monopoly!!..
.
And now the US played it hands too early
What are the Chinese moves?.....
Still a mystery!!!
.
.
.
One thing is clear, huawei is the pawn in this chess game...
Who's gonna be the winner, I don't know!
But it looks gloomy for the US
Cause this is a clear case of tactical victory and strategic defeat!!!...

You have made sense

when I tried to explain how "loss of faith" could affect the USA badly in my earlier posts here, people are calling me dumb

they don t knoe that the world now is SO interconnected

You could go read up the posts in the previous page's here.

Africans can be one dimensional in thinking sometimes
That is why we are here analysing global powers

while our continent is a ruined $hithole

okay we know all these,
why then is our continent still use less?

elijahkayode:
bro Naira land will reduce Ur iq ��, see ignorant comments everywhere. ignorance is bliss
my people perish 4 lack of knowledge
tell them to list ten reasons why china is justified in this trade war

1. you think china is creative yet it forces all American companies operating in China to share their technology ( forcefully) with Chinese government, am sure you've see Chinese iPhone,Samsung copycat

2. debt diplomacy
check china recent behaviour in Africa, swallowing up Africa assets that can't pay back their debt (Google search), u think they won't do the same thing to Nigeria

3. Thanks to America we have the world as it is now due to their bravery, think nazi, heck they even black their freedom, do you think china authoritarian regimes have the conscience to do that, heck they oppress and censor their own citizens

4. us government gave china a lot of freebies, they integrate china into the world economy, they literally build China up from the ground ( if u are wise you would want them to cancel everything b4 china leapfrog everyone else)


china is end time babylon, their authoritarian regimes alone should scare u but then the whole is slave to money
as a Nigeria, I rather prefer china show it bad side so America can move their cheap labour to Africa then u would understand y America has been d sole world power to decades

China can NEVER dominate the world

anyone thinking otherwise is not serious

America will/is declining that is for sure

but China cannot fill in that shoe America once filled

what we would have in future are power blocs AT BEST

as for China being the boss?
mission impossible


That said, it is the corporate greed of America that got them into this tight corner
why will you give tax breaks, allow people produce in China, slam a "Made in America" tag on it and sell it home with negligible tariffs?
That made folks like Wal-Mart them super rich

China created a conducive environment, then you moved your factories there to produce, thinking that China will remain a Laos or a Vietnam

But these Chinese had other plans
and they got to improve themselves economically and learnt how these American do things and tried their own

That was not the plan
they were supposed to be our factory and nothing more

now they are no 2.

supply side economics is a SCAM
Republicans should have known this by now

And as for calling "America the sole worldpower"

I don't know about that tho

We don't have world powers in the real sense of it, as the word was used in the 19th /early 20th century in my opinion

America just had a way of being the most influential
Everyone wants to kinda associate with them
That influence is America biggest selling point

to which China currently do not have (they are even quarreling with their neighbours )

Africans are slaves to their stomach and are bereft of common sense
That Is why they are giving China unfettered access to destroy our countries

All for a piece of porridge

When will Africa be wise?

TSRC:
The greatest disaster in modern history is the story of Africa.

true that

bukkysam:
10 Things that will happen when you leave Nigeria for the developed world (parts of Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, etc)

1. Your prayer points will drop drastically, not because you can't pray anymore but because some things don't need prayers to get done e.g a job, you need qualifications! You'll be praying much less about things in general!
2. Your hidden, untapped talents and potentials will be unveiled.
3. You will realize that 95% of your religious leaders and self acclaimed men of God are thieves and liars.
4. You will also realize that 99% of your political office holders are hardened and dangerous criminals.
5. You will realize that the problems of Nigeria are majorly RELIGION and POLITICS followed by lack of proper education and enlightenment!
6. You will discover the true meaning of living and quality of life!
7. You will be exposed to simplicity and understand that having it all is not really ideal!
8. You will be less greedy!
9. You will start seeing things differently!
10. You will be happier and more contented..!!!

These are Facts!... Dr. Ayoade ❗��

You have said it all

charliboy654:
This has got to be the most dumbest thing I have read in nairaland today.

lmao

do you have a background in economics? or finance?

if don't, then you will not understand

Have you bothered to ask yourself WHY every leader that proposes the end of Petri dollar for example end up DEAD?
The last Russian who proposed that had his private jet crash "by accident"

At the height of the war in Iraq when the U.S. economy was in the gutter, many countries were this close to ditching the USD
even the African Development Bank changed it's functional currency to the EUR.

America HAD to give certain concessions to avert that calamity that would have befallen them.

Quantitative easing has drastically increased the supply of the USD out there
the reason the value of the USD did not tank is because the world uses it as the currency of operations
I.e
USD is used to buy oil, and commodities

So the demand was there to cover up for the QE experiment.

hence the balance

what happens when the demand side faiters (I.e the losing faith in America?)

That is a drastic fall in demand for the USD while QE has churned out trillions of paper they call dollar, backed by the faith of the U.S. govt
what do you think would happen?

Argentina and Zimbabwe have done similar things and it for their economy into the toilet

Nazi Germany did same and their DeutschMark became use less

If the demand side to this dollar hegemony falters (a big if)
then America is heading same direction

Many of you nairalanders no sabi anything
that is why I look at some of the comments here and just laugh

Globalization has linked us too much and exposed us to vulnerabilities

That is why today, forget the debt that Africa idea China
If Africa has the balls to engage China in an economic impasse, China will feel the heat....

tho it will not be wise for Africa to do so now...
it's just an example to show that globalisation has made us TOO interdependent

dangoteinlaw:
lmao you have to be the most dumbest person of our generation. Who would ever pass out an opportunity to overthrow the USA, you really believe Europe and Asia had the opportunity to take down the USA currency but somehow they felt pity that "oh we do not want the USA to cry" awwwww your world is really fvcked up lol

smh

you know nothing about economics
so let ne educate you

What keeps the U.S. going is the "faith" the rest id the world has in them, and that is it
nothing more

it is that faith that America has abused by playing with one experiment they call QUANTITATIVE EASING

When the rest of the world LOSES faith in America
American economy will crumble

Losing faith equals dropping the bonds that these countries have in the U.S. debt (do you know what that means? )

Losing faith involves the world ditching dollar as the currency that is used to price commodities

many of you here will not know the implications of all these, because una no sabi any thing

China dropping the over $1.trillion they have in American bonds will screw America up (and screw China too sha)

they asked trump what he may do if that happens and the idiot said that "we will print more dollars"
as if quantitative easing is not enough

You people don't understand that this globalization experiment we have gotten ourselves into has exposed us to all manners of things and vulnerabilities, even for America and Europe


I just dey look dey laugh comments here

AntiBrutus:
This guy...

izzit not true
