It is Simple sir, as with most Big Businesses and men in Nigeria, A lot of the wealth is Not necessarily Hardwork or Genuis,
I'm not even Gonna Go into the 1% tax rate he paid from 6B usd made and the exclusive mining licenses for limestone and other additive materials for cement Dangote had
Just ask anybody who Knows what's up it is an Open Secret

exclusive mining licences?

You better stop talking rubbish

IjebuWarrior:
Don't get me wrong... You're very correct, they own lots of luxuries.

My point is they don't crave these things. They just own it cuz they can easily afford it. The mentality of a poor man and pple from 3rd world nations crave these things when they can't even afford the maintenance.

those ones want to plunge themselves in financial suicide .

IjebuWarrior:
Foolish Poor-minded Nigerians would be here praying to God to bless them to own it.

Just imagine... praying to God to own what God himself warned us against... I don't think the REAL rich people of the world that worked really hard for their money (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Buffet et al...) ever prayed or even wished to own it.

The 'rich' people that own such luxuries are the ones that NEVER had to work for their wealth (Middle-East Monarchs and their Oil Barons, "Poor"/Corrupt 3rd world Politicians et al...)

Go figure...

Don't be too sure

If you see the garages of some American billionaires
You will marvel


it's a thing of personality

I'm very sure Dangote DOES NOT have luxury cars aplenty.

it's not his thing

I am appalled by your way of reasoning.

According to you then the Federal government should make a policy banning young couples from procreating because we want to reduce the population of the country.

Our run away population? I guess China should be the least educated country in the world with over 1billion Chinese. India is the largest democracy in the world and we run there for our medical needs.
Don't get me started on the United States with more than twice the population of Nigeria.

If reduction in population guaranteed education for all, why is it that other African countries with only a fraction of our population like Niger Republic, Chad, Sudan, Libya all have majority of their population uneducated?

You are laying the blame of the government which has refused to implement credible education policies at the feet of citizens who are doing their duty of populating this country with human resources.

You are thinking like a Freemason bro.

Nigeria's population is growing at an alarming rate

Some thing has to be done about it

before we become something else.

the government has failed, YES

but the masses should control the way we breed

The major reason why the army suffers major losses is that air support does not come on time. Once there is early intelligence of the movement of these satanic boko haram members effective air support can destroy them while they are still isolated....
Kudos to our gallant troops

exactly

Tanmehin:
I would think that you have factored cost f production in Nigeria into your analysis. This is a country where you provide everything; power and other essentials by yourself.

don't mind him

O/H in NIGERIA is too high

Cost of Capital TOO HIGH
indigene and Traditional ruler on your neck to settle them

high o/h from fixing your trucks due to the bad road

And the list is endless

Lecturer Called Out on Twitter After He Said Nigerian First Class Graduates Cannot Justify Their Degrees
A Nigerian University lecturer identified as Sam Amadi, @SamAmadi has been called out on twitter after he claimed most Nigerian first class graduates can not justify their first class degrees.

According to Lecturer Sam Amadi most first class graduates from UNILAG and other Nigerian universities cannot justify their degree.

Mr. lecturer’s claim obviously did not sit well with netizens as they took to his comment section to slam his for his claim.

See the clapbacks by Twitter users on https://idonsabi.com/lecturer-called-out-on-twitter-after-he-said-nigerian-first-class-graduates-cannot-justify-their-degrees/

the Sam amadi is a fool

You mean to say igbo politicians

Nairaland helped me a lot, and a particular moniker did well for me tho I got some laughing at me when I asked. Actually it was thru the help of a White Southern American and his wife that I zoomed off. I met them while working as an attendant in Igoni Hotels.
I spent about 300 thousand Naira (my own money) while the rest came from their family purse.
I landed in Fargo, North Dakota on October 10th 2016 and on Jan 20th 2017 I left for Ellisville, Mississippi (just 1 hr to Hattiesburg)

One thing I've noticed in all my travel is that in Nigeria, poverty is planted, notured, grown and harvested.

lmao

like my uncle would say


*translating igbo to English*

our people take pride in suffering

GavelSlam:
Naija you are too desperate for riches.

Reason why the rest of the world take you with suspicion.

In some countries xenophobia has emerged die to your dodgy ways.

You know yourselves.

Nigerians are becoming more desperate

Politicians be killing their wives for political success.....And on the day of her burial, dem begin follow sympathizers to shed crocodile tears....

I hope he will not later sacrifice this one for his presidential ambition.....

Hmmmm

this is a strong allegation

You know this how?

gantic:
The only issue is that its Naija and we think everything about us is wrong won't be surprised if the ticket or boarding pass had those details. If you buy an Emirates ticket to Abu Dhabi, you would be bussed from Dubai. I flew Air France to Brussels, took a closer look at the ticket to realise the Paris to Brussels leg was on a train, had AF flight number and all.

it is not the "think"

.everything about that failed country is WRONG

everything

there is no smoke without fire


but if this was expressly disclosed
Then there is no case here

A junk school will give u masters in 3 semesters in the US. To get a masters degree, in the US, you must complete 36 credit hours or at least 30 in some cases

So which reputable school will allow u take 4 courses of 3 credit hours each per semester in the US? ... don't forget some courses are prerequisites to others, so don't wish for what u don't know

Britain gives master's one year

AngelicBeing:
l can understand, don't let me tell you what I went through during my time before I call it quit to pursue my studentship abroad, some Nigeria Universities are full of kaka, it is a citadel of rogues, confusionist, frustrations, etc nonsense

A den of rogues

buchilino:
DONT CALL IT MEANINGLESS, OR DID U 4GET DAT IT WAS D SAME WORLD BANK N IMF DAT FORCED NIGERIA 2 ACCEPT SAP POLICIES IN D 80s. TELL ME ONE POLICY DAT BOTH INSTITUTIONS FORCED AFRICANS DAT WORKED.

the same SAP that saved South Korea

it was not about the SAP, it was the corrupt and use less leaders we had in Africa then

IMF is the institution to go to as last resort

That means you fvcked up

You don't ecorvg IMF to be lenient with you

World bank is stkkk different

have you heard China, India or Turkey in IMF mess before?


but at one time they were all on world bank loans

look at Greece
they messed up and that is why they were at the mercy of imf in the first place

Policies that work elsewhere fail in Africa because Africans are just somehow

olas24u:
Our professors are too old in this country.in India they have 26year old PhD students.

Hahaha, wetin African man do you, African man is not wicked, it is the fault of the Devil �

I went to a federal uni

I know what I saw, and what I faced


Leave story nwanne

fernandoc:
Some of these old Professors who perpetrate this act of wickedness were the beneficiaries of government scholarships to study abroad when the country was saner. No conscience whatsoever.
That is why no one celebrates them when they are old and retired. They just die and are forgotten.
Old f@rts!

it's the African man mentality that is to blame

schooling in Europe and all does not remove the wickedness in the heart of an average black man

anotherguyonNL:
I am hoping to visit at least 3 -4 countries on a 2 week long tourist trip, for those who have gone on tourist trips across Asia / Europe, which countries visa application process is stress free for a tourist looking for a very short stay.

NOTE: ONLY SERIOUS MEMBERS ONLY, PLEASE NO TROLLING OR IMMATURE JOKES!

A schengen visa is your best bet


OR


you can do like me, and get that east African visa that can take you to Kenya/Rwanda/Uganda, get a UAE visa (both very easy) and that is also 4 countries


Four countries na four countries
