And Governments across Africa do not even care

aisammy4:
I laugh at you! Do you think Igbos can stay together? Igbos are not united. You are just busy fighting to get Biafra when you are suppose to be strategizing to win seat of the President of Nigeria.

If you dont know, check every election that has been conducted in Nigeria you will discover that we have more Igbos contesting for presidency in Nigeria. They would have just come together for just once and choose one credible leader to come out representing the Igbos and see if he or she would not go closer in getting the presidency (that is if he does not win).

I will always say this, "Please learn from the failures of South Sudan"

Who is United in this Africa,?
Abeg leave story

Wonen amd wahala is 5 and 6.

The OP is spot on.

It's just that the Nigerian situation is terrible, that's it.


Many Chinese, Indian and Indonesian students who come here to get an education end up doing well when they go home.

So it is not that the idea is bad, but the country is messed up.

Badyear:
I am a final year student at Kampala International University.
The weather is amazing(currently raining), The people are not hostile, The economy is bad, A few months ago 1naira was 16ugx but now a naira fluctuates around 8ugx-10ugx(no thanks to buhari), there are alot of nigerians here(mostly northerners), Kampala is a very beautiful place. There are also lots of white people,somalis,Ethiopians, kenyans,chinese,indians,sudanese etc.

How much fees do international students pay there?

accountbalance:
You just judged someone's sincere thought and honest opinion.

How does that make you better?

Am even surprised that you are justifying tiwa's video based on her tales. Seems you don't get the point, she simply washed her dirty linen in front of the whole world, she totally ruined the boy's father's image beyond repair.

All for what? Career, fame, 1 million views on YouTube??

In my own view self, I don't think she's as happy as she used to be, she might hide it and all that but she will always regret her actions and it will take a lot of effort for that boy to forgive her when he grows up to find out.

Forget drug addict or junkie or whatever you call it. Everyone has their own story.

#justsaying

I don't think so tho.

T- bills have plenty issues, don't ask me how I know, I just do.
Tiwa had her own issues too (in talking too much here o)

But know this, T-billz is not innocent o

That's all I have to say

*runs away*

pweetychyka:
I used to be but not at anymore ooooo nwanna...
Ma boss kept telling me to run a program with them and I got a form from d skul!
After a while, I opted out jarey....jez to cut d long story short

eeyah

It is well.
All the best in future endeavours jare.
That you did not conclude this one shouldn't weigh you down o

clefstone:
We should just go back to our precolonial way of ruling ourselves where our Obas, Igwes and Emirs were our rulers. This democracy and oyibo way of govt doesn't suit is at all. It's the reason why we cannot get the simplest thing right. Imagine common sport we cannot manage. We hv to create a system that works for us otherwise Nigeria will not move an inch forward

As funny as your opinion sound, your suggestion is a Very VALID one

Moneyyy:
Why is Nairaland so tribalistic? Once it's an igbo name it immediately jumps to front page but once it's a Yoruba name it never makes it to front page. Sad.

Here is a Yoruba drug pusher thread that never made it to front page for obvious reasons: https://www.nairaland.com/3313835/51-year-old-grandma-arrested-heroin

It's sad indeed.
As much as these guys keep disgracing us, sometimes I feel these things are intentional.

magicminister:
We the youths are making the same mistake our fathers made.
None of us was born with hate. Unfortunately, most parents didnt do a good job raising their children to love other Nigerians. Even if you do not love other Nigerians, show them some respect.

This applies to all tribe.

For the first time, I agree with you.

pweetychyka:
Mehn.... the guy gats speak his mind without fear of the repercussion! Trust me most of the lecturers in UNILAG self don't know the meaning of some words the used!

May God continually protect dis guy from the hands of the wicked!
Cos most of those lecturers in UNILAG sef....their hands are not clean

#allhaildgreatakokites

Nwanne, you sef be Akokite?

nonaira:
You dey mind her. It's kind of how one was on FB insulting anambra, ipob, NK, igbo in general, etc in effort to be "political correct", etc. The day she insulted Buhari, the freaking hausa/fulani and Yoruba took her to the cleaners. Not one single Igbo, men or even women, came to her defensive.
Lo behold the next thing the chick wrote was how disunited Igbos are. How she was getting insulted and all the Igbos that always comment on her page ignored the attacks towards her and igbo. She lambasted igbo men for not fighting for igbo women. She claimed how igbo men should have been the ones arguinh against the men that came to insult her blah blah.

As I read that shit, I kept thinking to myself....why would an Igbo guy or women or even an infant help your ass when you did nothing but insult Igbos up and down in effort to curry favour and look " One nigerian". The second you decided to display your dissatisfaction with "one nigeria", is the second the ppl cheering her on decided to remind her ass she's still an igbo and how much they despise her and will Lynch her without a second of thought. Instantly, the igbo she claimed to be and have fun insulting are whom she wanted to come and save her ass. When none came, it's disunity and igbo men letting other men mistreat igbo women. I swear it took all my strength not to insult that chick as well and tell her she been disowned and she's on her own.

Well, I see....

But I kid you not.
Disintegrating this country will not solve anything still, what we need is a TOTAL re reorientation as a people, as well as some restructuring.

Nigeria splitting into in 8 cannot solve that.


The black race as a whole needs reorientation

Leopardd:
Mehn brother, the thing tire me and our gals these days are ones doing this thing, go on twitter, you will see them, very sad, makes me want to cry sometimes inside my inner chamber, it makes me weak.

Despite being successful and like some would call it 'well-to-do', I can never let down my guard to form political correct and denigrate my people to curry likes and favor. I usually tell my Yoruba and edo peeps, "Look, i am not forming, I dont like you, I dont trust you, you neither do trust nor like me, let us cut the crap, ball and deal like men".

In that case, everyone will know it is a mutual dislike and mistrust. Everyone protects his own corner.

Wait o
You mean you don't like Yoruba and Edo people?

But why na?

Teespice:
sad indeed.

I am born bred Igbo girl but the hate in our midst is too much.

How many times do you see Yoruba/Hausa people denigrate their people the way you just did here, even though They have BIG issues amidst themselves?

Just asking

WinningSun:
what end Samson.

Delilah, and his trust in her, lol.
Na wetin kill am.

WinningSun:
can you explain how king Solomon accomplished such a great feat.

And how did Solomon end? You people don't know what polygamy is all about..

Lol

Businessideas:
You must think you are talking to someone who is not familiar with both schools. Your sister didn't score enough marks to get the course of her choice in UNILAG and apparently settled for OAU because the criteria is lower. You can mention the courses and compare the criteria in both schools. OAU was shut down for months over complaints of terrible infrastructure and serious tussle over the VC appointment so I am not saying that there's no infrastructure challenge but rather praising the quality of the mind and education of Femi of UNILAG. OAU has always had a lower admission criteria than UNILAG. The corruption in UNILAG is on focus now because the institution uses its high admission criteria to admit very smart students and people who can challenge the system like FEMI is doing following the steps of Sowore of Saharareporters,so it didn't start with Femi.
Our debate isn't the issue raised by that smart Akokite, it's the way you made it sound as if if your sister is smart enough to get the course of her choice in UNILAG, she would have left LAGOS for Ife. That's the lying part of you I am exposing. I am sure she will eventually be one of those who in later years will see UniLag from Third mainland Bridge and wish they had realized the dream of studying their preferred course at UNILAG.

Don't mind that guy jare
I have met many like him.

Your points were very valid

Dante2008:
my brother you are correct, but he went too far by calling them names, for crying out loud, there are ways you go about telling the truth without insulting or calling your lecturers all sort of names, please we are who we are, Africans and Nigerians to be pricise, we have our cultures and values, we don't insult our elders in public, even when we are right, we apply wisdom in correcting them. .....

That one that you are talking is story.
Elders my foot.
They deserve the insults the young man gave them.

opribo:
First thing first we need to strenghten and build a new mass re-orientation agency that will recreate the patriotic zeal and the unity of the country. Anybody who promotes hate in the country either through speech or writeup must be shot dead. Promotion of cross cultural exchange through marriage. Down playing of religion in our national polity but rather entrenchment of mutual respect. The president can only be stronger than a state governnor by the office they hold and not the resource generated from the state.

People from other places should be encouraged to settle anywhere peacefully. The rest are ok.

This is not a bad idea though

jaiyezy:
Jonathan ruled a. Country that was selling crude oil @ 140 dollars per barrel,depleted a nations savings of 56billion dollars. To less than 28billions dollars,an academic doctor that was not smart compare to retired general and a graduate of NDA and sandhurst and india war college that have fought to keep dis nation as one duriing the civil war, a transparent and corrupt free leader that is buliding infrastructure and 2nd Niger bridge.The fact Nigeria is no more the largest economy in Africa today is Jonathan stupid fault,if he was having vision aand patriotic enuf, Buhari is far a beta leader. Jonathan is a failure and will always be one as far as History judge us ryt..carry on Buhari u are a great and fearless leader that has come to savage Nigeria

Buhari is a BIG FAILURE.

manny4life:
Injustice when one of them was in coma for two weeks and spent 30 days in the hospital? I wonder how people like you think. The luck he has is that his action did not lead to murder, death penalty would have been perfect for such hate crime.

Don't mind these people.
Many Nigerians who live in Nigeria are just animals in human skin, for them to condone such an evil thing done to his fellow man.

If you don't want them shagging in your house, you make that clear to them (like what many sensible people do) but pouring hot water

Philpham:
The girlfriend should understand that Usain is a nobody without his legs. He grew up in a low class family, he managed to graduate from secondary school and has not seen the 4 walls of the university. He lacks intelligence, class and morals. He is just a common street boy who without his ability to run would have been in the streets of Jamaica pushing drugs.
You can make a trashy person famous but you cannot take away the trashiness from him, that's the typical example we see in Usain. His fame is bringing out his barbaric , uncouth nature which is typical of every man.
Obviously, the girlfriend is well educated and beautiful and is doing Usain a favour by dating him. She does not need a lowlife, uneducated dun.bas..s like that black monkey, she should dump him fast so as not to ruin her reputation by associating with him.
I see his quick downfall. Man-wh..o.re

All what you typed up there is emotional bulshit.
As he has used his ability to achieve what MOST people who go to school have not achieved, which is International recognition, and some cash to go with it too.
k
Usain Bolt did what he did. SO WHAT?

Does He look like someone who is ready to settle down?

This is serious

Good evening everyone...
I want to ask for enquiries sake please.
For those of you studying for a post graduate degree in South Africa, How much in Naira terms is the average school fees for international students?

Thank you.

Greatfuture:
how as the ndigo governors,commissioners, state assembly members,chairmen of local government and councillors fared in leadership in their various state? Of all the contestant in the last presidential election did igbo cast their vote for their own? Is Aba which i believe generates more revenue developed since 1999 to date?

Must you vote a man based on his tribe?

heydora:
Na that one we go sabi...best in results here and there....when we go grow rice past thailand?...when we go pass china and japan for fich production?.....upon all the results ..na one drop out for china go they supervise contruction of bridges and rails for here..i beg

Bad belle

With the current state of the country, how many diaspora Nigerians will share this sentiment?

awelekiti:
You can say that again. America, China, Japan shut their doors for at least, 10 years without travelling out of their countries. During these years, they were busy developing their countries. Now they're among world powers. America will say come, come and live...they will real out various visa programmes. They won't say come and develop our countries for us so you won't suspect that you're going to be enslaved again, but in an advanced manner. And when you get there, you'd be building their economy for them. They'd first say you must not travel to your country of birth for some years. Before you collect you salary, you'd have spent it all, even if your brother or sister is getting married, you dare not step out. They'll set a living standard you'd be struggling to maintain, you and you get hooked eventually and remain their slaves for life. I'm not discouraging anybody from going to America or any of the western countries to live but that's the realities on ground. Before you know it, you're already old and will become less productive with little or nothing left as savings. I stopped putting up at my friend's place each time I visit because instead of them entertaining me, I'd be the one spending. If you want them to stop picking your call,pls tell them to send you just a hundred bucks. No place like home. Nigeria is a fertile soil to those who can look beyond their noses for opportunities.

This is one BIG piece of misinformation.
Who told you that the Chinese/Japanese closed their borders and stayed in their country?

If anything, they travelled abroad en masse to Europe and America (In the case of Japan and China, even India) to gain education, and learn critical skills in I.T. Medicine, Engineering and many other fields, but the KEY DIFFERENCE is that MOST moved home after their studies and some years of experience in the countries they went studying, and the multiplier effect was that they as a group, with support from the locally trained ones created a replica of what they saw in the countries they studied in.

So don't say they locked themselves in to develop, because that did not happen, and lastly, protectionism is FAR different from locking yourself in, or "shutting their borders".

I hope you get the point.

oyinkinola:
here is the conversion of fcfa to Naira and the equivalent of it's denomination to Naira, you see the difference:
Coins:
50k=1fcfa

50kx25=1250k=N12.50k
50x50=2500k=N25.00k

50kx200=10000k=N100.00k.......Nigeria currency Note
50kx500=25000k=N250.00k
Fcfa currency Notes:

What a consumer(buyer) will protect on an economy like our, where is the money in the market that the buyer will protect! and when the money didn't have saver it will lead to what!.....not inflation?

And what is this supposed to mean?

Shey Benin and UNIBEN dey haunt you ni?

Princedapace:

Morocco is a well known country with better head. U see, most of us here always think nothing good comes frrom fellow african coutries becsu we normal judge them base on niaja stamdard..


my dear sis, many african countries are millions of years ahead of us o... that morocco u dey see no get electricity problem like us o.. They are already investing in better ways to generate electricity that is not harful to the encironment.

They have industries for finished products.. they are not as raw exporting country as we are in nigeria. They are far ahead of us. In football, they are ahead, in torurism, they are world class, in business and industrialization, they are far ahead.. etc

u see all these north african countries.. we are learners for where they dey my dear sis

You are right.

Morocco is FAR ahead of Sub Saharan Africa.
They even tried joining the EU once, but was unsuccessful
