They will never listen. God gave us the power to choose and Nigerians have chosen to ruin their country. I wonder why they are praying. They keep doing the same thing and expect some higher power to help them. What kind of mentality is this for God's sake? I am not surprise though. When you have people like ugosample running around in the millions, what do you expect? Nigeria's mentality is just mind boggling to say the least.

And you had to mention me here?
Na wa for you o.
Do you know me?

pippimp:
You see why I say you are not exposed to the way normal people do things? The mere fact that you can say that proves my point. You've been there done that but it does not reflect in the way you think so what's the point?

The society is in a pathetic state, I have travelled enough and lived briefly in different countries to know that, but I use that term "nigger" because you feel you are better than those you left behind because you got small exposure....

Oh please!

And how do you know how I think?

pippimp:
No there isn't. But there is a correlation between exposure and mentality. Exposure changes the mentality. This is why you still have a problem as a people. You have not been exposed to something better. You only know the same phucked up way. Need proof? Nigeria has been in existence for over half a century. What has changed? In fact, it's getting worse.

And you think I as a person is not exposed?
Or has been in Nigeria all his life?
I've got enough exposure over the course of my life tho, and I get what you mean because abnormal things are the norm here.....

But get off your high horse.
A nigger is still a nigger, even if he changes passport

pippimp:
Used to be. Not anymore. I just come here to make you fun of your backward mentality.

You must really be a joker, lol.
You think there is a correlation between nationality and mentality
Or even intelligence?

I gotta say boy, you are on the right track..
However, a piece of advice...
You need to add some protein to the mix, and when you do that, (Don't overdo it o) in another 6 weeks, I kid you not when I say you will love what you see when you look in the mirror.

Carry go

pippimp:
You are a Nigerian. You can't understand.

LMAO. This must be a joke right? So you are Ghanaian, and you can understand
Sorry eh

It 's our brothers from Jerusalem a.k.a the African Jews

You guys should just stop this

Gaborone:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

She said they were bounced because they were unescorted, not because they were "single". There is a whole world of difference between these two.

Nairaland is beginning to practice some tacky and irritating brand of yellow journalism. I wouldn't know why, because this forum became A-list before the colouration of news and the 'bla bla bla...and this happened!' cliche started.

It's getting boring, please.

Cheers.

You sef have noticed it.too

pippimp:
Not nice. The way we handle issues concerning money in Nigeria only demonstrates why Nigeria is known as the most corrupt country in the world. A subordinate giving money to his manager. Unbelievable. How does anyone not see a conflict of interest in this? This is not how you conduct business. You guys always allow poverty cloud good judgement. Because of money, ubsilas is claiming that Mikel is one of the greatest players in Nigeria football history. Because of money. Which kain tin be di na? An average player to say the least. Smh

What is this one saying?

discusant:
Did Buhari and late Yar'Adua not win 25% of votes in Plateau, Kogi, Kwara, Taraba and Benue states?

Can't imagine any Northern presidential candidate, more so, a northern Muslim presidential candidate, who cannot win 25% of the votes in Plateau, Kogi, Taraba and Benue states.

Southern Nigeria was fcukkked up politically through proliferation of too many undue number of states in the once one northern region.

Issue is that many southern Nigerians don't understand this.

Didn't Jonathan won 25% in those states too?
So what is your point?
In Land mass, they are bigger, do you expect them to have less states
The problem is two fold
1)First we vote along ethnic lines and
2) Southern Nigeria is disunited. And Yoruba and Igbo people will not stop bickering at each other...
If these two key ethnic groups align forces, the north will not see power for 30 years...., assuming we get the middle belt (or at least half of it) to cooperate

Mcowubaba:
If na drugs or crime na Nigerian...
Now Olympic Gold medal na Yoruba pastor's daughter Mynd44 na so Oga Seun Nairaland is already too tensed up with bigotry nd tribalism... Topics like this only fuels the tribal wars

I beginning to believe that this is intentional

ebby9z:
The heading would have made more sense without the "Yoruba". I wonder why we are so tribalistic. I'm Yoruba but I'm not excited with this news. I'm only sad that my country keeps losing her best to other nations due to her failure to harness potentials and exploit for the uplift of the nation.

Thank God a Yoruba person has seen the folly in that tag too

magicminister:
Nigeria have lost most of her best citizens to other countries.
From atletes, to artisans, to medical practitioners and scientists.
We have been blessed with the best brains but cursed with terrible leaders.

Just imagine where we would be if we supported our youths?

Just imagine where we would be if most of us didn't dream of travelling to london or us in search of better lives cos we have all we need here?

Congratulation to this girl.
Lets celebrate another excellent gene we lost to other countries.
Lets celebrate our failures.


@seun
You seem not to know how powerful your website is.
Your moderators should maintain professionalism at all times.
Which one is "yoruba pastor"s daughter"?

I wonder o
These people are just pathetic hypocrites.

This country can still work.
But these old men will have to give way first, then the country will have to be restructured too.

discusant:
Ahaaaaaaa, you caught it. 2019 election is brewing. One Naija now at the hands of northern ex-military dictatorship class. IBB, methinks is also warming up.

Long before beginning of the last presidential election campaign, these northern people attended every important Owambe party in Yoruba land. They knew then that Yoruba votes were very vital to unseat Jonathan.
Now with Yoruba VP, these north people know that SE/SS votes shall be vital to beat the Yoruba VP.

Only a few southern states is what any northern presidential candidate supported by most of north needs to win presidential election in today's Nigeria.

Nigeria was politicaly restructured by northern soldiers who wrongly used Land mass as criterion to create 20 new Federal units in once one northern region, but only 17 units in once two southern region.

A presidential candidate needs 25% votes from 24 of the 36 states to win. North created 19 states and Abuja for north.

It's no more easy to restructure this in a democracy.

The voting patterns of Plateau, Kogi, Kwara, Taraba and sometimes Benue does not always go the way of the "core north" o.

Lemme tell you something, if those five states go rogue, Wahala dey for any candidate, ask Buhari in 2011 and Jonathan in 2015.

chronique:
Someone liked a post I made here 3 yrs ago and this brought me back here. Glanced through this thread and thought it would be nice if we get lalasticlala to move it to the fp.

So that small children of Nairaland will spoil the thread? lol; D

There is no harm in your suggestion, but Nairaland had really degenerated

Congrats

Why doesn't this thread make front page?
But if na drug matter now, you go see them...

Hypocrisy on nairaland smh

swezenberg:

[size=14pt]Why not use the 1% sense that is left in that ball you call head. Is it not the same govt you are accusing that is investigating Okon. Instead of you to tell your people to shun corruption, your hatred for Buhari is consuming the only good part that is left in that object you call head.[/size]

What is this one saying

Are you telling me that there are corruption free tribes in Nigeria?

naijaboiy:
[color=#1980BC]Padding is the real deal if you no wan suffer for school.

I always pad before resuming every semester. I'm even thinking of my latest padding ideas that I'll use to resume this session.

E dey sweet sha. [/color]

Just negodu

Akorkor:
Faster internet? Only Vodafone is okay for me oh. Call to outside country is expensive too. Well for their school, they have good standard in education. However, there are some schools in Nigeria that are good also.

Generally, Ghana is a bit expensive sha. But God will help everyone that may want to move there. But I will advice strongly that they should have steady income so that they will be able to manage.

Yea right
Steady income is the key, if not suffer is sure in Ghana o

ProfessorPeter:
I think dem say na only Igbo dey push cocaine? Why dem no mention names? Abi na Igbo Muslims? Na una sabi

You see the hypocrisy?

Philpham:
He is definitely a small boy, immature and dating an easy trashy white woman. No taste.

what is this one saying now

In your mind you have made sense abi?

Akorkor:
Am not comparing with present economy but am comparing with past value. For example. Chivita is 11cedis and that's like 550naira. Well as for me, Ghanaians are not friendly that's my own point of view. And likewise otherwise my colleague from Nigerians POV too... The only thing Ghana has that makes it better than Nigeria is light and by God grace we will get there. Apart from that nothing else.

Well, as you said, it is your point of view.
Ghana has more positives over Nigeria than the light o.

The safety
The schools (There are thousands of Nigerians in Ghanaian schools, but how many of them come here?)
Less bottleneck for those who want to start business.
A serious drawback to Ghana is that they don't have the market Nigeria has, if not many investors won't even bother coming here.
Even at that, they are moving from Nigeria to Ghana in droves.
They have faster internet and cheaper data/calls

They were friendly to me as I said before.

But the country is expensive as hell.
Maybe you don't like the country because you are not used to the environment.

saint047:
The best of our great minds
1. Grew up abroad 2. Moved/educated abroad 3. On the cusp of going abroad
Our talents die if they stay.

You are not wrong

Why are Nigerians (And by extension Black people) sense less like this?

Instead of us to encourage the boy, we are talking rubbish as if Rome was built in a day.

All the inventors of the western world and Asia started this way, and it was constant improvement that made them achieve what they have achieved today.

And you wonder why Africa is in an underdeveloped state?

If it were to be abroad, agencies and universities will be eyeing the boy, and scholarships to study and work in several institute's will have been prepared for him, but this is Africa, so I am not surprised

martineinstein:
i never did any padding during my school days...they gave me money when i needed it and i wasnt the party type or the type that spend to acquire fame...i just wanted to be focused and reward my parents for their high level of responsibility and hardworks.

The most important reason is: i wanted to avoid cognitive dessonance and guilty conscience.


Most 'padders' are people that concentrate more on popularity and fashion or those that tried to be what they are not

Dont forget dat ur children will 'multi-pad' u in a smarter way.

You have said it all

Principe:
I am currently reading a book titled FROM THIRD WORLD TO FIRST written by Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew.He graduated from a university in the UK, 'saved' Singapore from Malaysia and transformed the small nation to one the best in the world.

Looking at Nigeria's political terrain, these crop of politicians do not inspire hope and the youths are either busy defending these politicians or engaging in ethnic/religious bigotry, so they are out of the equation.

However, Nigerians in diaspora have been living in functional societies where there is security, good health care, constant power supply and citizens hold their leaders accountable etc.

I think that diasporians have big roles to play in fixing Nigeria.As a diasporan would you come back to contest for a political position? If no, why ?

Let me remind you that many of those who ruined this country are ex diaspora Nigerians

Bankole, Saraki, Ngige and the list goes on

Even Okonjo Iweala that tried to bring sanity to the system, she is being vilified today..

Nigeria will change when WE are ready to change.

MRBrownJ:
i was just trying to give you places where they speak English, and therefore, where it would be easier for a Nigerian to settle/study etc
if you are going there to STUDY, then why should you care how life is there? you are going there to STUDY and thats all that matters. when you get you degree, you leave.

now, if you are looking for a place to ESCAPE Nigeria, through BS student visa then thats another question altogether.

I don't see any problems with trying to study, then settling thereafter.
And someone studying too has to know about how life is there too, because the person won't be stydyimh 24/7 na, the person would still venture out..

[quote author=Akorkor post=48667428][/quote]Don't you think converting the money to Naira is the big mistake you people are making?

Look... The Nigerian currency has lost 50% of its value in two years, and it is sliding further down...
Converting to Naira is not a very right comparison tho.
I remember when 1000 was 20GHC, now it is 10 GHC..

My point is that comparison is somehow.

Besides , in my stay in Ghana, I really loved it... My friends I made over there took care of me, and the safety was remarkable.

They leave their doors open while going out while in Nigeria we cage ourselves in like evolved dogs.


Every country has it's plus and minus tho, don't just write Ghana off like that, when our own country isntvmuch better.

nnokwa042:
more than ,but pls stop using igbo name cus i know ur a fulani man or yoruba muslim from kwara

In your mind you just made sense?
And you think all Igbo people behave and think the same way?

DAMN, o gwuru ike...

skydiver:
It depends on how you see it, a lot of Africans (not all) see Europe as the land of milk and honey.
My wife (Nigerian) who still lives in Nigeria have visit me twice over here and will visit me next month again, the things she like is that for here all looks organised here (no problems with NEPA !), drinking water, etc, but on the other side she see also how expencive it is, even to go pee you have to pay, and she see also I have to work hard for my money, even not here I can get money from trees. On the other side I understand that some people want to explore Europe, I was many times in PH (not as a worker!) but to visiting my wife. As a see how many people have to strugle for live and what pleaces the live and how the be treatend by there own police force than I understand the want to go to the "land of milk and honey". I just warned people who go true the dessert, the few people who make it can tell you, the only people who are ok with it are the people who organised this trips, the don't care about your lives! the just care about your money, do you know how many of Africans are stranded and never get the other side? Every day on television I see the same story again, children and women who died in the boat trip and at least the survivors picked up by border controle and sending back.
If LastKing don't feel fine in Europe it must be easy for him to quit his job and return to Africa, no big deal, I think he can not deal with the mentality in Europe (everything must be on time, people don't speak to eachother like Africans do, other culture, etc, ) but when I am in Nigeria I have to follow also the rules of the place where I am so I know and I do.
One thing I agree: Europe have not the laugh that you people have, singing and happiness even in bad days.
I wish all the best for you all, and may God bless you and make this world a happy world.

And this is a balanced viewpoint
