Even US cannot repay their $30 Trillion talk more of 9ja's paltry $10billion. Forget, its all politics.

what is this one saying?

One, the US govt is not owing 30 trillion

Two, the U.S. economy is buoyant enough to even support debt to GDP ratio of 200 %a feat the US can not even get to in the next 30 yrs

Nigeria on the other hand has a vulnerable economy at the mercy of external shocks, and given these shaky fundamentals, the dullard is still stock piling debt

What if Naira further depreciates and oil prices tank again?

How will Nigeria service it's debts

The country is just full with dullness and USELESS people

Keeping my kids away from that zoo is amongst the best gifts I'll ever give them


Awon rada rada

Ahmadsayyid:
We are in sokoto this story is nothing but lies. Sokoto people are 100% with Gov Tambuwal. No party can defeat PDP in sokoto comes 2019 god willing.

could this be true

Let's be watching

Kaycee7:
The guy is, if nothing else, a coward. Couldn't he have stood his ground and stopped the girl from ordering? Or sternly tell her that he'll not be paying for her excesses? What sort of lily-livered man-child goes out with a girl and then abandons her? And fellow touts on Nairaland are applauding him? Some dudes are just a disgrace to manhood.

I'm just shaking my head, at the comments of these kids here

A real man will NEVER get himself into such situations in the first place.


If he cannot be man enough to caution her on her excesses, or lay down the rules of engagements shortly before the date, he should be ashamed of himself, and donate his balls to the nearest "ritualist" because he cannot use them

Guys /men
use your brain and be assertive, don't go putting yourselves in stupid situations like these

Basket mouth being worth N2b is a possibility
These guys are involved in a whole lot of things
Let me not say more than that
But those of us who know as e dey be, know

Airforce1:
Shut up and stop talking like you know better than the police IG.
Your comment reeks of frustration and so much bitterness .
Seems yahoo boy don collect your woman .

Airforce, please don't tell me you are sympathetic to Yahoo boys

mrvitalis:
America is really funny

All in the bid to be bigger than China... Apple that sale less than 120 million phones and laptop ( that Samsung even make more profit then them) is bigger more than twice than Samsung

Amazon that service less than 400 million people is bigger than alliexperess that service billions

This are just shares manipulation and over blown imaginary figure

It can never be converted to real money any attempt to sale off this shares would see the price drop blow 20% of its present value

Money can't be hidden

What is this one saying? .

you need to take classes on the concept of value

The valuation of these companies include so many things, the share premium is just one of them.

But make I no talk anything,

SalamRushdie:
Africans should go and fix their various countries , this idea of looking for ready made economies to go settle by Africans is a threat to humanity if we must say the truth .

Fix which countries?

I've said it time and time again

Africans (most of them) don't have the capacity to develop a country, and don't even know what/how a developed country shoukd look like.

They are the ones who vote in bad leaders; the one who are nepotism struck, archaic and barbaric tendencies etc

How do you help a continent like this?

The ones who want to help the continent are being back stabbed by the barbaric elements in Africa.

it pains me to say this, but its the damn truth

The only way this continent can move forward is for the barbaric elements to take a back seat, and let the intellects amongst us run the show, like its done elsewhere

But as long as they insist they want to be at the front burner; Africa is going nowhere

9japrof:
Before you all say trash, that nigga is a nationalist and have the best interest of his country at heart.

If Africa with all its natural and human resources cannot take care of themselves anf respect their citizens then a time would come no body will.

Have you seen kuwait, UAE citizens, Oman, Americans being economic pests in other countries?

They brag about their nationality anywhere they go, try any shit with them, and they would leave tmyour country.

A friend of mine is paying for visa and tickets to travel to australia to go and seek asylum, how on earth would u expect to be respected?

The state of the countries in Africa is to blame

not just the economic state

The life there is too toxic; so I don't blame whoever wants to flee the gigantic $hithole

However; how you conduct yourself at your destination goes a long way to determine whether you will be respected or not.

And it's common news that we don't conduct ourselves well out there

IamaNigerianGuy:
Mr man you do not know what you are talking about and I am ashamed (but not surprised that you hold such an opinion). Nigerian publishers have been publishing African works for decades. Wole Soyinka, Olusegun Obasanjo, El-Rufai, Chinua Achebe, Ben Nwabueze, Kayode Esso, Pat Utomi and many others have been published by Nigerian houses. Resist the brain washing.

resist which brain washing?

I'm talking based on the experience of someone close to me, plus stories I have heard

The truth is that if you want quality, you are less likely to get it from a Nigerian publisher

I get it that you are "pan africamist " and all that, but it should not blind you from the truth

Pick a textbook from a Nigerian publisher and one from outside

The DIFFERENCE is clear

Our publishers need to step up

in fact every sector in Nigeria needs to step up

Amakavula:
watch and enjoy?? they are ruining opportunities for you and me . Watch and enjoy they are making visa really hard for all. Watch and enjoy they have successfully driven off a lot of investment and businesses which would have made life easy for the poor man, unlocked access to direct partnerships and make global trade for the ordinary individuals easy.

Ask yourself why you can't even make simple transaction with PayPal and why is hard to get support abroad? that $100 AdSense change is deceiving you.

it's global knowledge that black folks are short sighted :-!\

Little gains at great costs

tiwiex:
Too much grammar that even the fruit seller has no clue what you talking about. I think humility is the key. We are generally to proud to do certain jobs but will happily work in a Mc Donalds for change. I think that is the problem in Naija. We have a big man mentality. I think the genesis needs to be traced. I have my opinion but it's mine. Let's shed the big man body and things will just get better. My take. Innovation, competition. All na grammar. If you look at our statistics. There is room for a lot of new entrants with no sophistication at all.

big man mentality indeed

That's he problem

anigold:
tribalism has destroyed Nigeria.

that is just the thing

In Nigeria; as long as the oppressor is their kinsman, they have no problem, and will even defend them

As if they will get extra goddies for that

The Nigerian govt is definitely up to some thing

bigpicture001:
...u may b ryt to say dey are both ripping us.. but America has shown over decades that it is for transparent, corupt free, poverty free, tyranny free African govts.africa loves china ONLY cuz it's helps them.to steal all her resources

And in addition to that, China has soft spot for autocratic dictators

Nigeria is still trying sef with their relationships with China

countries like Sierra Leone, The Gambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are neck deep in China's trap

generationz:
please respect her

the fact that she didn't abort the baby of a dead beat father like him says a lot

That boy looks good and its 90 percent because of her

so you really think Wozkid does not send upkeep money for his son

That's not possible

SEONaijaExpert:
She's becoming frustrated for not getting the attention.

You got that right.

Jealousy

ClintonNzedimma:
People making me laugh....Its not their fault, they haven't worked for a Chinese man before

no mind them

I have never seen a hypocritical country like China before

Corruption and corrupt/unethical practices is punishable by death in China

However, in Africa, they support their people and firms to commit all sort of unethical crimes and diplomatic cover to escape when shit hits fan


Western corporations are more ethical, pay staff better, does csr and if their countries find out that they practiced unethical things abroad; they will be in big trouble, that is why they are careful, and that is why tgey are having it rough in Africa with the incursion of the Chinese

The Chinese can deal with autocratic regimes freely, bribe, steal and ruin the environment with NO consequence

A western corporation is restrained in that dept

win2kwire:
Mount the center stage is your worry?
So you rather be slaves to the Chinese than modern day westerners?

The west were never good role models but the Chinese will be even more brutal and disastrous, if you think Africa has it bad now wait until China fully controls the continent and then see where your fortunes lie.

Stupid stupid African monkeys with the mental intelligence of apes and chimpanzees are being enslaved but they are talking about silly things!

no mind them

magicminister:
Let me educate you!!

China has not helped us in any way. The loans they give us, have high interest rates.
The infrastructures they build are done only by Chinese companies and by Chinese citizens. They do not transfer any knowledge or skill needed for us to replicate such feat in other countries.

They do not benefit us in anyway!!!

that has been my fear

nextstep:
Oh, I understand... this is a US-centric fear of Chinese dominance in trade with Africa.

They didn't complain when they were making all those loans in the 70's and 80's via IMF and World Bank that crippled most African economies until 2000's. They didn't complain when the money was used to buy their own products, with interested paid on top. Now that their lunch is being threatened, they're pointing out the dangers of loans...

Chinese entrepreneurs are investing heavily in Africa, hiring labour and building infrastructure. They are also a cheaper source of goods and machinery that African entrepreneurs are buying and using to boost our economy.

Around the world the USA is retreating - insulting friends and allies all the way - and China is quietly stepping in to fill those shoes, making deals with Europe, with Japan, with the rest of Asia, and with Africa. No dogma or imposing their views, just doing business.

Trust me, China is a worse imperialist than the West

The Chinese are ruthless and unethical

They are here in Africa for raw materials, resources And plunder.
They hire their own people, use their own company and all Africa gets is crumbs

Illegal mining is going on everywhere in Africa, land grabbing is real, and instead of our leaders to use their brain and dine with the devil with long spoon, in tyoical black man foolishness and emptiness, they are putting out countries up for sale for their benefit


Only Africans can develop Africa, and has the best interest of Africa at heart, and are in the best position to develop it

But Alas, even the Africans do not want the development of their countries


Anyways, wetin concern me, my descendents will be far from that cesspit when the repercussions come

Nightmareo07:
NIGERIA'S MOST FOOLISH CARELESS AND SENSELESS COUPLE OF ALL TIME.
WHO CARELESSLY ALLOWED THEIR KID TO DROWN RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSE.

FOOLISH PEOPLE

This guy sef

IamaNigerianGuy:
A book on African entrepreneurship to be published by an American company
Are there no publishers in Nigeria for his book ?
The African elite still are as mentally imprisoned as the common people.

African publishers are not professional

They will most times do a shoddy job and cut corners

I have had one oga back in the day suffer from such mediocrity, so I know what I'm saying


African people are you short sighted and will rubbish future prospects because of momentary personal gains.

That's the sad truth

lonelydora:
Celebrities making us look like our hustle no dey pay.

They should enjoy shaa

An advice for you

just do your best

And not look much at what other's are doing

hustle and pray

Fatherofdragons:
U are right, it's so pathetic due to immense HATE and ILLITERACY

I think the major cuz of this erosion is the soil type, which I can see that Niger state has.

exactly

Neoteny:
Actually no.

Unfortunately they do know the differences between the ethnicities as well as peculiar tendencies.

You underrate the intelligence of these people.

forget that thing

They will tag everyone with the same label, regardless

You think they have the time to be sorting out who is from which tribe?

How!many tribes do you know in Togo, Ghana or Benin

But anything that goes wrong in that country, we go tag am by the whole country

Even in Nigeria, I think you know that Edo state is filled with different tribes, and the things Edo people are "tagged for" is predominantly done by a particular ethnic group in that state


But no matter where the person comes from in Edo state, once you mention that, you will be tagged

That's the way of the world

That is why I laugh at some Yoruba folks making fun of this sad situation and jesting

You too will suffer for it when the time comes

otherway:
Too bad that a country so blessed and so rich in human and mineral resources have reduced their citizens to scavengers in other countries all because of corrupt leaders.

Who did we offend in Nigeria?

actually from top to bottom, Nigerians in General are wicked people

God cannot bless a country with so so much wickedness

It's not possible

Deadlytruth:
That was in 2014. I joined NSEMPA in November 2017. Even now I still play my game more with SA (sentiments analysis) than TA, FA, GA (Agbalowomeri's forte) and all other A's.
The fear of monkey hunter label is the beginning of wisdom here on NSEMPA and that is why I don't alert others on my buying choices and time. What the likes of CP, OGG, etc have gone through about the monkey hunter label is enough for anyone to learn. I am too young for such psychological persecution.

LMAO @ psychological persecution

dulphines:
Most oil companies in Nigeria if not all are guilty of maltreating Nigerian workers. Our leaders and laws are weak, giving these greedy businessmen leverage to exploit us. They partner with our brothers who are obviously against the progress of their countrymen. Even when the whites propose staffing for contract staff, our black brothers will advise otherwise so that only them will be rich. They feel more accomplished seeing poor people around them.
The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) has been killed and buried by these animals in human skin.
I stand in solidarity with the striking personnel and pray that they continue to speak with one voice until they are settled.

exactly
Nigerians /black folks are the most wicked people on earth

Yet people will be arguing against that with me

They are the ones who give thesse foreign entities the tricks and impetus to deal with the subordinates wickedly

Daboomb:
B.Shyte.

You should rather keep quiet and not make categorical statements on a matter you have no clue on.
But if you must, l challenge you to come up with verifiable proof of your assertion, that they are from the North.
Give us names and service Numbers or anything verifiable to back up your claim

At least 60% of those posted there are northern folk

Christians and Muslims, but that does not matter because they are from the north, whether Christian or Muslim.

And I got my info from reliable sources, because I have enough relatives who are service men.
(that is a major reason why I am sympathetic to them)

The problem we are having is that this rotation and deployment of a thing is done via connection, meaning that if you have a godfather, you will be less likely to be deployed to the war front.

But because southern folks are already biased, stupid people are spreading the narrative that it is southern (Igbo) people that they are sending to the front to die.

When Col. Ali was killed, did you check the name of those who died with him in his team?

When Lt Haruna was also killed with his squad, did you bother to check the names,,?

I will not say more than this, those who know, know what's happening

But Nigerians being biased, dumb and stupid are easily manipulated to believe biased narratives

baby124:
Eyah... I repeat. Nigerian politicians are the highest payers and magas in the world. They pay premium and the higher your perceived worth the higher they pay. They sleep with anything and pay. After all Nigerian politicians are among the highest paid in the world. They pay a lot from civil servant to the politicians. A girl that is into BIG gods and knows her way can become very rich overnight. Then they pay even more for foreign pussy. Hahahahaha. Bunch of old, ugly, useless and worthless things.

Low self esteem is the problem with most of the Nigerian elite
That's just what causes this rubbish

meobizy:
It's a lie o. 'Men Of God' are the highest payers. They pay for both your service and silence. It was a 'Man Of God' who paid Tonto Dike so much money she fell out with her p-imp.
A lot of politicians have money but will rather go for cheaper options. To release one million naira sometimes makes them beg, asking for last price.
A Nigerian politician will rather do a Toyin Lawani than a Tokunbo Idowu based on price difference.

you know the drill my man.

But some politicians still dey squander serious money tho

SalamRushdie:
The article also failed to state the region these 70 were from..those who know know

most of the soldiers there are from the north

just know that

before you say something from your bissed mind
