Westernization is what happened. Injection of foreign culture that's why, which is why I love Japanese they hold their culture in high esteem. Before you know it we will lose out own culture and embrace another meaning opening of doors to homosexuality and other western culture.

Did you just say Japan?
Japan that has Westernized too much.
The only thing that separates Japan from America now is the lamguage...

Why do you think Efe would have been evicted if the show was BBAfrica?

People like efe will not last three weeks in BBA
That's for sure.
He cannot even represent us there sef

Papiikush:
I gave up on the failed show when Tony left. Still kept on with the show from the sidelines because of bally.

Now I have come to understand Nigeria is just a country filled with people who celebrate dummies and "suffer heads"

If it was big brother Africa, Tony, bally and bassey could have been the strongest rivals because these are the people who made the show worth watching

. Efe would have been evicted alongside Miyonse and soma the very first week.

I'm telling you mehn

The matter just tire me mehn.

Jyde81:
Despite attracting numerous likes, this is a very bad advise based on mere hope and not concrete plans fir future sustainance. This is a poverty mentality

You know, people's taste of what a comfortable life is different though, so I don't blame the guy you quoted for his views.

The thing I will tell you @OP is to think very hard and weigh your circumstances before taking such a weighty decision, because as I speak, a friend dived into marriage and all with this mindset, and with a combined income slightly higher than yours, but they are finding it very rough, but they are fighters sha, so dem day rough am.

So my guy, reason this thing very well...


And P.S. If you decide to marry, id advice to delay child bearing by 2 years or three, so you can be disciplined and save and plan So that you don't experience story that touch.
Children are expensive o
Hospital bills + Baby food + other contingency plans


My brother reason am o

Chiefpriest1:
One thing our leaders at all levels still don't understand is that poverty, hunger, frustration are the roots of most crises in this country.

I can't remember ever reading people living in Ikoyi , Victoria Island or Banana Island ever quarrel, not to talk of killing themselves.


Its either Mushin, Ajegunle, Bariga and other severely impoverished places that escalate after a every little quarrel.

If you investigate, you might find out the Ife crisis is about competition over meagre resources in whatever form.

You can also see the anger now in Nigerian families. Little thing, you see parents boiling. No be their fault. Na frustration.

Minimize poverty, illiteracy, hunger , unemployment and Ipob, Boko Haram, ife crisis, militancy etc will reduce substantially.

If you doubt the anger in the land, by mistake match person leg for bus stop.

The reaction sef go fear u. Like bros, no be only the leg. Abi anoda thing dey inside?

You are 100 %right.

If majority of Nigerians are living fine, all these animosity etc will not be there like that.
And as you said, all those in dem VI /Lekki/Vgc dey ball and enjoy life together irrespective of tribe.

Hunger na bad thing

fkj950ax:
Is there a school where you are all taught to abuse/insult instead of making your position known objectively.


Mr Serpent-Slayer
1. I said the East isnt investor friendly, and I havent been pointed to contrary facts by anyone
2. I alluded to the leaders from the East being the cause of the non-investor friendly nature.
3. Maduawuchukwu is the only person who provided a contrary opinion to my position 1 & 2 above. (and he didnt insult while at it)
4. I have established that fact to those that missed it that Dangote didnt invest in the east, whether a WAREHOUSE or a FACTORY
5. One Chief Uche Okafor (An Easterner I suppose) is the person who has just gotten an MoU signed with Dangote to distribute & suplly Dangote products across the east. He is the investor, not Dangote
6. Obasanjo has just been blamed for killing the Federal Eastern ports. Fashola is also being blamed for destroying Power in the East!
7. What is stopping the entire Governors from the East coming together and get a PPP-led Port development in the East so it can get the chunk of cargo Lagos port gets? This should also help businesses decide to open factories/industries in the East? Maybe you should help me answer this.
Same with Power - In case you aren't aware. Lagos State Secretariat and major Courts have been powered by IPP for more than 4 years. They are totally disconnected from PHCN Grid. Why can't this happen in the East?
8. What is stopping the Senators, House of Reps and Ministers from the East in this present government from holding their ground and demand development come to the East? Absolutely nothing.
9. I will give you a scenario: Lagos through its Governor and its NASS representative requested Lagos get Special Status and earn more from National Cake. The idea was killed immediately, especially by Northern NASS members.
Then it came back to the floor of the NASS with other States asking for the same Special Status along with Lagos. These other States included the same northern states that killed the dream.
The lesson here is the NASS members and Governors of these States were able to LOBBY, and be heard. Very soon, they will get this passed, and enjoy Special Status and get more from National Cake.
[/b]10. Can't your leaders (Governors, Ministers, Senators, Reps, etc) make a case in Abuja and stand their ground? If this happens, then the industries MAY come to the east.
11. Dangote as at the signing of the MoU doesnt even deem it fit to build a factory in the East? [b]Has anybody asked or answered with POINTS (not insults) why Dangote wouldn't?
12. The chap is building factories and industries in Ikorodu, Igbese, Kogi, Kano, Ghana, Zambia, everywhere... What's stopping him from coming to the East? Anyone of you bothered answering this question? Whats in Zambia or Kogi or Lekki FTZ that isnt in the East?
13. Some people called Dangote a tribalist and demanded a boycott of his product in the East! Are they freaking serious? Is that possible?

I am sorry if I was harsh on anyone on this thread, but please let us chill and be nice to each other. Let us read and constructively make statements that I can take into Monday and make money for myself.

Thank you very much

Our lawmakers just go to Abuja and sleep
Instead of sitting up
Shebi aboki guys have lobbied to push for NEDC.
Where were the ones from SE?
These my people don tire me

abouzaid:
as an onitsha based trader, i can boldly tell you that Lagos was in decline until obasanjo killed the eastern ports.the same way ge wasted trillions building gas power plants in the southwest without gas deposits and ended up not adding a single megawatt of electricity. fashola have started the same route, you need to read the Edwin Clark interview and shed tears. the same fashola caused the current crises in the Niger Delta by trying to relocate the national maritime university from the Delta to Lagos. all these money comes from the oil Wells in the south east and south south.

No wonder.
Onitsha based trader

That says a whole lot

phreakabit:
Only a simpleton will classify a warehouse as an investment worthy of recognition. Bloody trader!

abouzaid:
i hope you read the threads by Edwin Clark on the shameless marginalization of the south east and south south in the 2017budget? this country is a big time fraud and i can't stop praying and fighting for the day it would all end

Assuming that is true, what were our lawmakers doing?
Who raised strong objection to the budget?
They were all sleeping.

jpphilips:
Continue being tribalistic, no sane outsider will dare make a reasonable investment in the east, it is no rocket science but common sense.

If this is the way people over there reason, you wonder why even many Igbo people don't have investments over there (that does not mean that there aren't investments, but it should be much more than it is)

Nigerians in general should change biko

SIRmanjar:
Ar u daft or wot?So becos I spoke de truth u call me ibo..U wey no be economic ad social refugee ur people dey live betta dan them?
And how many people embraced de ibos in Nigeria if I may ask?Ok I understand u now,they embraced them by making sure dere land is undeveloped,nigeria embraced them by playing politics with common second niger bridge,u embraced them buy swearing that dey will never rule Nigeria,no embassy ad federal presence in dat region ad u call it embrace..Ok may heaven embrace u ad ur family the way Nigeria embrace ad treat ibos..Amen
U ad ur household is doomed as long as u calld the injustice against an ibo man love.

This same victim mentality again

SIRmanjar:
My friend u are de real tribalist here..An ibo man sited his factory in the north and sells the same product in the same north..So wot stops alhaji aliku dangote de gratest detribalized luving patriot of our time from producing in de east ad selling the same product in de east..
And mind u don't call dis an investment.

So all those Onitsha traders who send their goods to the north for sale are what

You people are just pathetic

fkj950ax:
I am sure that's a very investment friendly treatment. And you wonder why good things avoid the east like a plague.

You and @phreakabit need to open your hearts and mind more. The world is indeed a better place if you rise above bigotry.

The thing just weak me

With such foolish behaviour, what message are you passing to potential investors?

phreakabit:
Go and get properly educated before coming here to share your opinion. . . If we can even call it that.
You are being a bad ambassador to your family and embarassing your ancestors.
They can't believe of all the bright prospects that could have emerged adimwit was chosen.

What are you even saying sef?

Simple question I ask you

Will you tell a capitalist how and where to invest?
There is no sentiment in business, and that is what you guys should get.
An investor invests where he see brightest prospects, not his village or whatever, that why Americans have hundreds of billions of dollar investments in China, and China in turn has hundreds of billions of dollars across Africa.

Let us make the SE more friendly for investments, and our people there stop some nonsense behaviours they exhibit over there, and then you will see the investments pouring in very well.

That is a step that reasonable people should take, not crying left and right like babies denied of breast milk

Why are some of my people talking nonsense on this thread will you tell am investor what to invest in?

gamargu:
This fulani herdsmen killings is a bloody lie every time they tell us herdsmen yet we never see them or any proof of the killings. This is simply a ploy to make buhari's government look bad why was there no herdsmen killings when osinbanjo was acting president.
Southerners can be so dishonorable especially the afonjas bunch of backstabbers.

So Enugu attack was a lie?

Southern Kaduna?

Agatu?

Even when olu falae was kidnapped by Herdsnen, is that a lie too?

FrankNetter:
O boy, yankee fine!

Yea, Yankee fine indeed. Nigeria/Africa needs to sit up and improve

DeAvenger:
She ain't one of us anymore.
Shame on you

Like how?

abduljabbar4:
I hope you also know that an average nigerian is seen as a scammer or drug trafficker because of you fools. And the activities of the idiotic and foolish reasoning of your militants also contributes to the reason why nigeria is considered to be a dangerous place

You know the north also disgrace this country too, with the boko haram, fulani herdsmen and even sporadic violence that happens from time to time

Miss world saga in 2002-2003 is still fresh in the memories of many, on how your people behaved like animals and killed people at will, making them to strip Nigeria of the right to host miss world.

What of post election violence?

What of the low levels of education that drags Nigeria's aggregate down all the time?

Look, all parts of the country need reorientation and change, but you northern people always think you are the only saints while the rest of the country are guilty and bad.

Hardly will you see a northern guy criticise the criminal politicians from up there, but that same guy will be first to jump up and call gej a criminal.
we all need to change as a country, and you guys need to come down that moral high horse

ALAYORMII:
Nobody is sending cv but account number



Tiri gbosa for una

You also have a point

stagger:
Nigerians must be the laziest bones on the planet. See how people are busy dropping account numbers for 5,000. Can't one person offer to do some sort of work for the OP in his new role for something better? Won't that carry more value?

What bull crap is this?

You got a point tho

But he did not force the girls na
Was it not consensual?
Nigerians, use your common sense na

FrankNetter:
Yesterday was a wet day.

I was supposed to drop my younger siblings in school at about 12:00 pm. So, after doing the necessary house chores and all, we got set to leave. Their school is like 20mins drive from the house. Did I mention earlier? my younger sis is studying Pharmacy, while my bro is studying Nursing.

I dey drive jejely o, dey mind my business. After like 15 mins, we arrived at our destination, I dropped them off and started heading home.

Like I mentioned earlier, it was drizzling lightly, so I was minding my speed so as to avoid skidding. The rain had started increased in intensity, so visibility was getting poorer.

On getting to a traffic light, it showed red. But here in the US, you can make a right turn if you stop and check if a car is coming from the opposite direction even if the light shows red.
As I turned onto the road and had started accelerating slowly, I noticed a police car materialize from thin air

I checked my speedometer, I wasn't overspeeding, I checked seat belt, I had put it on earlier. Surely, no be me the guy wan pull over

You don't mean it

jomoh:
If Buhari government brought all those things you mentioned above then Nigeria must have been paradise before he came in or don't you think.

I don't know your level of education but you need to learn "cause and effects" of situations. You don't just become a Bsc holder, you must have started from somewhere. All those problems you mentioned couldn't have started under Buhari and escalated under him at the same time. It must have started from somewhere.

Bokoharam didn't start under GEJ but escalated under him. Does it mean GEJ brought Bokoharam? No.

Again we have to go to the question what did GEJ do to curb the menace, did he have the capacity to curb it (financial strength, political will, public approval to curb it) Same has to be asked of Buhari comprehensively. You don't just conclude he brought those things.

Lol @ cause and effects...

I'll show you threr examples of cause and effects


1) 97% vs 5% = Cause

Polarisation of the country =Effect

2) Taking six months to assemble a cabinet= Cause

Erosion of confidence in investment circles = Effect

3) Bravado talk and action against the ND= Cause

Increased vandalism and attackon oil infrastructure = Effect

4) Silence when Fulani herdsmen ravage the country while quickly deploying troops to the ND, and killing innocent protesters= Cause

Effect= Fulani herdsmen on rampage, and increased mistrust in the government for their security

The list is plenty,
That is cause and effect in Buhari's case, and Nigerians are suffering for it.


Buhari made a bad situation worse.

jomoh:
Any sane and well informed Nigerian knows that. The guy I quoted pointed that out only that it's performing below what he expected.

Here's my question. Are you well informed to know the real difference between $27pb economy and $100pb economy.

Read my own posts up there and tell me what you think about it.
Buhari's govt is the worst after Babangida
What has he not done wrong

Polarising the country

Sluggishness

Impunity (Disobeying court orders at whim)

Wanton corruption going on

Fulani herdsmen

Compromising the autonomy of CBN

No certificate (the dunce rather hired a dozen lawyers, instead of bringing the cert he claimed to have)
Increased hardship
Vandalism in the ND

And the list is endless

And he is not even paying subsidy.
If he was paying Subsidy, then his government will have collapsed since.

juman:
No one can categorically say nigeria would never be splitted.

As nigeria remain a disfunctioning country, there is high chance it can be divided.
As long as there is no sensible government there is high probability people might go their own ways.

Even britain is leaving EU, while the scotland is trying to be independent.

And what do you think is the reason for Nigeria being dysfunctional?

ZombieTERROR:
Dangote is not mad That's why he has no investment in the east
Think home Invest home
Lord lugard experiment has an expiring date

Who told you that Dangote has no investment in the SE?

Nne5:
And to those shouting southern unity,the truth is the south can NEVER unite.

Shove your unity up una asss.

And you think you just made a wise comment

Sirheny007:

lol dont get carried away...

There can never be an arrangement resulting from whatever compromises that can ever bring the Igbos and Yorubas together..
The west have proved they are cowards and slicky chameleons who can never be trusted..

Oga will you keep shut?
With common interest in the table, you will be surprised how fast the alliance will be formed

But mumu plenty for both sides tho

distilledwalex:
Guy No lie... U no be yoruba kobo... You be Ilaje from ese odo... River bank.. Your been yoruba is not verified..

So because he spoke his mind, he is not Yoruba?
You people sef

UnitedSouthZone:
The Onus is on us from Southern region , we come here to insult each other meanwhile these core northern(NW&NE) fellows don't care about anyone, they see us as second class citizens, yet they use us to maintain their domination. Let our eyes open. Yorubas, Igbos, Niger Delta, let us Unite. YIN



#Who_Cursed_Southerners?

In this Nigeria, an average Southerner is a weakling. A born coward with serious complex issues. A fool and an idiot. A slave. A typical example of a butterfly who thinks himself a bird. But this is not even the problem. The biggest problem is, he doesn't even realise he is any of those things.

The only thing an average Southerner is good at is blowing high sounding grammar and acquiring degrees upon degrees but when it comes to things that matter most, he goes to slumber.

An average Southerner has this twisted mindset that the best way to be seen as a patriotic and detribalised Nigerian is by degrading, shaming and disparaging his own tribe for no just cause.

Abacha stole this country blind, such that 20 years after, his loot is still being returned to the country. But in spite of this, people like Buhari publicly swore that he (Abacha) stole nothing. But to an average Southern idiot, Jonathan's 5 year rule is the reason we have no fuel, no light, no good educational system, no nothing! Jonathan is the worst thief in Nigeria's history. IBB, Abdulsalam and even Buhari who was accused of stealing billions of dollars as PTF boss were all saints. Why? Because they are Northerners.

Was it not a southern he-goat named Obasanjo who publicly accused Jonathan of training snipers in Pyongyang (North Korea) ahead of last year's election?? He made the unfounded allegation just to please his masters upnorth. Now that we have the highest figure of senseless deaths of civilians in the hands of both state and non state actors under a Northern president Buhari, have you read any letter from OBJ??

When Shiites were massacred in Zaria, it took less than 48 hours for Chidi Odinkalu of the National Human Right Commission to establish a commission of inquiry and summon the army chief but when unarmed IPOB members praying in a school field in Aba were murdered by the security agents, did you hear even a loosely worded condemnation from Chidi Odinkalu??

Check out the list of those asking that Fayose to be tried for treason for writing to the Chinese govt over Buhari's $2 loan, they are 80% southerners. And most of them have not even read the said Fayose letter at least to know the reasons Fayose adduced in the said letter. These are the same fools who kept mum when Sango Abdullahi, Sani Kaita and some so called Northern elders publicly threatened to make the country ungovernable if power wasn't returned to the North. When Buhari made his 'dogs and baboon' speech and directly caused the death of southern youth corpers, these morons kept mum.

With all the numberless killing of civilians under this regime and its open support for the genocide the world fourth deadliest terror group (the Fulani militant) has continue to visit on Nigerians, have these highly educated southerners bothered to write a strongly worded petition to the ICC just like Nyako, El-rufai and other northerners did to Jonathan??

These southern fools will gleefully yell 'Kanu should rot in jail, he was preaching hate on radio Biafra!' But these clowns maintained sealed lips over the hateful and inciting broadcast by 'Radio Chanji' and Arewa Radio upNorth. Such is the degree of the soulless hypocrisy of these southern senseless hypocrites.

These nitwits were on rooftops telling us how incompetent and corrupt Jonathan was and how his removal was a patriotic duty. Today, things have all gone worse under Buhari and you would think that these southern imbeciles would be at the forefront calling for Buhari's resignation but no! They are the ones defending the Daura born ex-soldier even against the worse things for which they crucified Jonathan then.

Now I know why Jonathan appeared weak as president and spent his 5 year term trying to please the North.

He knew he had nobody behind him. He knew that we Southerners are weaklings only good at blowing high sounding but empty grammar.

These 'efulefu' southerners will never question why Buhari has never condemned the murderous activities of his fulani kinsmen but these same 'anumpamas' will read this post and quickly tag me a bigot.

Slaves who think themselves masters!!



In order news see Mynd44 though

So what is the solution?
