Being worth $40 billion doesn't mean you have $40 billion in cash to spend.

yea true

but it means at that point, you have $40b in assets you can convert to cash

Praxtech:
Is Nigeria a country? Are people living there or merely existing?

Merely existing o
my last trip to Nigeria saddened me

Lipscomb:
why what is wrong with you? Nigeria isn't a country or people not living there? You that talking where are you? Lazy youth the president is talking about.

They should not send him back o

After living 34 years in the U.S. you want to abruptly dump him in an advanced $hithole?

I'll keep you in my prayers bro.

The case just looks like a frame up.....

Indians should just take their time.


I wonder when doing legal businesses has turned to crime....by witch hunting and framing innocent citizens up.

this must be a sarcastic post

Kennydoc:
Jonathan 'squandered' the foreign reserves in maintaining our exchange rate, and that's why life was easy for Nigerians. What do you think would have happened to Nigeria by now if Buhari maintained exchange rate where Jonathan left it? Let's not also forget about fuel subsidy and the price at which petrol sold under Jonathan. Those are all contributory factors. Also, remember Buhari has borrowed more in 3 years than PDP's 16 years borrowing.

That is what I keep telling these e rats

Let this useless govt maintain fuel price at N97 and naira at N197/dollar

Let's see what will become of his gov't in 6 month's

sholatech:
Only politicians say this. No Academic or Finance professional will posit this.

Please show me how you arrive at your average price for each administration. Show me also a year by year graph showing the foreign reserves value each year, average crude oil price per year & average Usd exchange rate per year. You will clearly see the result of your statement. Let the current administration fix our exchange rate back to the last time we had Average $70 crude oil price like we have this year & then see what value you will get on the foreign reserve values.

don't mind them
they keep running their mouth

Hmmm...these girls don't know anything. It's either they take him to court or be extra nice to him to get him to be responsible. The elders would say na pikin wey man like him mama man dey take care. After all, Zion is enjoying where he is...Jada is presently loved niyen.

Mtcheeeeeew...... A One Mega city Nation? How many cities, Airports, Schools etc do they have?

Kumasi, Takoradi, Cape Coast Accra, Tamale, even sunyani

Is this the country that you are calling one mega city nation?

Even Kumasi/Ashanti region side is more populous than Accra

You need to travel more and see for yourselves

thesicilian:
We actually did continue improving Lagos when they left, and that is why Lagos State is currently the undisputed most developed in the whole country.
The other places where they didn't really reside in, like the south south and whole of the North and East, are still basically the same as it was since 1960.
And while I agree that they would never have developed the country in a way that the Nigerians would be equal to them, it is also worthy of note that the Nigerian elite who replaced them have not faired better in that regard.
At the very least, a certain standard of accountability would have been demanded and obtained from every ruler in the country, not the share-the-money mentality that we have been plaqued with till date.

who told you the colonialists did not reside in the east or deep south?

That's not true......

Town's like calabar and ph and enugu had colonialists living there

Runalong333:
It all has a lot to do with the mindset of the populace. Nigerians have no maintenance culture compared to some Africans. Look at places we occupy in London and South Africa, we found them clean and developed but today after our influx resemble what we left back home. So even if the Brits had developed the country , by now it would have been the slum we have. Look at places where South Africans refuse to rent us their homes , even within the same city , you can tell where there are more Nigerians and where there are more South Africans. Can we blame not having whites for our way of life and carelessness?.

that's true

Afro pessimist spotted..

You can't blame him

The facts on ground support his argument in a way

And what you wrote made a lot of sense? Oga! This is Africa, forget about the feminism bullshit.

ndukaejime1994:
You are a fool... People will laugh over the misfortune that will hit you soon

that guy has no sense

joking about something this serious

lilmaydee:
Love is a beautiful thing. Imagine dbanj enjoying his marriage while one sister Genevieve is happy shouting up and down that she is proud to be a feminist. Smh! Her market value don depreciate she is now using feminism to console herself

what you wrote made no sense at all.

Happiness is not determined by your marital status

Your worth is also not determined by your marital status

#Revealed

Many of you would not know why Innoson is persecuted under the smokescreen of GTB nonsense. He was asked to relocate his automobile production plant to Lagos, he refused and insists to adhere to Ojukwu's counsel to Nnewi sons "not to move their investments outside Nnewi".

Later on, Nigeria Air force lured him with the contract of refurbishing their aging aircrafts and requested he executed that contract in Kaduna by moving down his Igbo engineers and sections of his company down to Kaduna, he refused. Later on, Air force haven seen the necessity of bringing down their dilapidated aircrafts down to Nnewi, were forced to do so as western countries could not help in the refurbishment. Innoson beyond Nigeria Government's expectations, gave the previously written off aircrafts, a new lives.

Being afraid of what is happening in Eastern Nigeria and the glamorous tech ongoing in Innoson, FG under Buhari decided to punish Innoson for his refusal to relocate to Lagos or Kaduna where his company will be sensor properly. The first punishment was series of seizure of his raw materials in wharf by the custom despite import waiver given to him by the Good luck led government.

Secondly, the 30% policy of buying IVM products by Nigeria government and her agencies by Jonathan Government was cancelled by Buhari. They had accused him of importing arms before just to crush him as they did to Ibeto, but to no avail. Buhari believes Innoson can manufacture arms for Biafrans to fight Nigeria. If he could refurbished war gunships, he could manufacture arms and armoured personnel carriers for Biafrans.

GTB BANK is just a smokescreen, they want to kill him for refusing their order!

If every Nigerian is like Ugosample, harzontoh, jwtheoracracy2, fpexchange, and the likes, Nigeria would have become heaven on earth right now . I really appreciate you guys. Am looking forward to having a Thanksgiving dinner with you guys

I hope you are doing fine now

And I hope you enjoyed the city

How long will you be staying

Apus:
first off I want to say a very big thank You to the likes of Ugosample, JWtheocracy1, Popizaino et al who have contributed to the survival of this thread.


I will be making a bold decision which is finally relocating to Abidjan after much thought (don't mind me actually I think I've had enough with 9ja). I've been following discussions on here very keenly.

With much information at my disposal(thanks to those guyz aforementioned) I believe I might not have much challenge save d language ish which I'm very much working on.


Lucky for me have got peepz who have been resident in Abidjan for some time now (around Trechville to be precise)



I just might be sharing my own first hand experiences in a couple of weeks from now.

#merci!

That is okay

However as I told those in the Gambia thread, coming to Abidjan means you have to keep your expectations very low,
and work very hard, having your own clear cut plan

Coming to Abidjan to look for work to me is a mistake, instead you should come for business

please also look out and be a good ambassador of your country.
our name don kast finish

Hopebringer:
I will engage you bec6uou put your point across so well and courteously

I am a Benin man and I will speak as a neeutralist

I disagree

Actually both yorubas and igbos have done Nigeria's image alot of damage

1. Yorubas start and professionalized fraud, scams , both pension and mortgage plus tax returns in both the Americas and Europe .

If you know you know , yorubas run cartels that specializes in identity there in both America and.Eutope . Is it drug.trafficking that made World financial institution Nigeria from freely using your bank cards online? No it's inernrt scams run and perfected by the yorunas ...

Do you know how far back I know big brosses doing shopping and carding ? As far back as 1999 when we closed school and I travelled for holiday to America . Then I was in unilag my year 3...that's when I first saw what you call.organized crime...the yorubas have cartels who push dud cheques, mortrgae scams , impersonation specialits etc....

They have online and.offlime scams ... Go to CBN and as for.recirds of bank staff that have 1. Stolen customers money, 2. Stolen from the bank in millions.ovet the last 30 years... Yorubas leads , this is very verifiable ..

Infact Yoruba crimes ensure you can't use Nigerian IO anymore , you can't.have goods shipped to Nigeria etc

Now let's go to grand.theft auto (car theft) yorubas run cartels in Alericas and Europe

Now the igbo you were so quick to mention are well known for.drug trafficking

Those of us from Edo state we are known for human trafficking and prostitution

But when you look at this list of all tribal crimes , it you yorubas who are quick to point fingers that have done Nigeria's image the worst blow ever

PS I am in my late thirties I have travelled far and wide and interacted with people who matter and I can tell you that at the end of the day we are all Nigwrians.
So stop with this uninformed rant as your tribe did the most damdsge


Say no to TRIBALISM

exactly

Nightmareo07:
Instead of calling Lalasticlala use ur good space well,.. No name was mentioned yet they are calling IGBOS.

U know mods ain't doing poo.
Use this pic

It's borne out of a complex

some of these e-rats like to victimize Igbos for no good reason

When infact, their people are also spoiling the name of Nigeria too
Especially yahoo

SmartMugu:
OP, fix the topic. What kind of English is this? Na by force to blog?

I'm telling you that many of these "bloggers" no sabi anything

gentlegenius:
Nigerian youths are ready... But only if old cargos like buhari will give way.

what you said proves that the youths indeed are not ready

those already there will not give way
they MUST BE DISLODGED

Babyforever:
Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew it's because of girls like this that men feel it's our duty to contribute to the growth of the family not forgetting that we're women and they are meant to look after us our needs and everything thing

I know you are just here to troll

you don t mean what you are saying

What's going on in this thread?
Why the confusion?

lecksam:
Thanks so much @ugosample ..have read many of your contributions and it's always rich and meaningful.. please what do you mean keeping the expectations low? Just talk more for us to gain more .. thanks

keeping expectations low in the sense that don't think you will land in a foreign country and start packing money after the short term.
most times, it does not happen like that

just do your best, AND STAY AWAY FROM CRIME

planetx:
Blame yourselves for how foreigners treat you in your own land. Do you know as an African you cannot stay in most hotels in China, they will turn you away. But you are importing millions of poor Chinese to come and be your new colonial overlord under the guise of infrastructure development. Nobody is going to respect you with your self hatred and subservient attitude to the other non African races.

exactly

IntrovertedK:
Ordinary Chinese? Africa/black dey suffer no be small oo. Why do they discriminate against us that much self? What makes them think we are of less importance on this planet earth? Like blacks are seen as nothing, what's up now? I came across a news of how a man murdered a black girl inside a bus in the U.S the other day and i just can't help buh think of creation, is it that God doesn't have anything to do with blacks? Like how did black even came into existence self? Like, you know it's a criminal case, yet you don't mind going to prison buh this black individual here irritates me and i must take her out is all i care. What's up now? There must have bn something with blacks, and i must find out, i'll continue with my research, i'd never stop. This thing hurt alot, it hurt so much that i don't ever feel like travelling to any other country outside this Africa continent. Irrespective of how great a black man is, it doesn't matter to a riff raff white skin racist. Look at the other day one useless white was telling airport officers not to traet him like black, i don't understand, how is/was black supposed to be treated? How were they supposed to handle him? Irrespective of our skin colour, don't we have same organs and are we not to feel same pains too? I am no more understanding this thing at all. God save us blacks in this crazy world.

It's our collective failure as black folks

tho it's disgusting racism
