Them DON talk say Job no day there


THREAD CLOSED!!!

Lol!!!! The hustle to vacate this country is real for many mehn

deliveryboy:
It's common to see comments such as "proudly Igbo" and "proudly Iduduwa", Igbos and Yorubas are well know world over for intellectual successes over the years, how the current generation of Igbos and Yorubas celebrate minute everyday achievements is worrying, it goes to show that the youths are not driven to achieve anything great, given the fact that little achievements means so much to them.

You have also noticed too

revolt:
That girls brain was hot!! I watched it. Ofcos not too many comments here cos our youths would rather watch big broda or some whizkid baby mama news!! The things that matter theyre not informed in.
Little wonder they all shouted change and sai baba without knowing anything about the old papas past.

Well, that is because they feel that things like these don't pay.
That's why.

HMZi:
I can do virtually anything 4 his kinda ego..thunder fire poverty.

Anything?

itswell1:
Which business this man dey do that he display ostentatious goods every day. Some said naa car imports but i found had to believe because we have numerous car importers that has been in the business and they dont display this kind of wealth.

This is a bad example and alot of teenagers and youths are carried away easily by this display of showmanship that does not correlate with the guy source of income.

About your last paragraph, can you explain further?

nyabinghi:
you are a motherfucking liar, sodom and gomorrah acts is going on in the west(america,uk et al), majority of world prostitutes are christians, christianity is shyte trust me. No wonder why you fools don't want sharia cos of your dirty ways. On nairaland alone this week, all the rape,sex cases involved christians and pastors inclusive. Christianityisbad.

Is this nigga for real?
The atrocities I have seen Muslims commit
You are just in a state of self denial.

scholes0:
Where are all those Igbos that were making fun of Yorubas during the Mile 2 incident in Lagos saying they can't defend their territory?
Oya.... all of you are needed in Imo before Hausas finish them off over there o. See your sister and brothers lying in their own pool of blood.
And we still aren't sure if the Hausas will mobilize a hit and run on the local community, by the time their brothers take their version of the story to the North.

This is why evil must be condemned whenever and wherever it happens, because in a country like Nigeria, you can't be sure who is gonna get served tomorrow.

Did you read the article you dimwit

There was a REPRISAL attack by the locals.
Abi you need to check the definition of Reprisal ni

seyibrown:
@DapoBear

Why does someone who has 'citizen' kids choose to remain an 'ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT' in the country when he can LEGALLY get his stay regularised? Why does he choose to continue to 'BREAK THE LAW' when he can file the relevant application to make his stay legal? That anyone has 200 'citizen' kids does not automatically turn their 'illegal status' into a legal one. There is due process to follow to change his status! It's about time they start 'fining' illegal immigrants for all the costs of 'finding and prosecuting' them!

Things are not that straightforward in life o

oyb:
all this whining and apologizing for voting PMB is what makes black people disrespected all over the world

Pussieees.

once the going gets tough, we cave in like little biatches.

exactly what was expected? that PMB would wave a magic wand and our depleted foreign reserves and compromised income would right itself?

its sad that we never picked british toughness during colonization.

if brits reasoned like Nigerians, they would have caved in during the blitz. rather their resolve got stronger.

let me quote tupac

“I know it seems hard sometimes but remember one thing. Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out, keep ya head up.... and handle it.”

dont fall to pieces when it gets tough.

my real issue with PMB is public orientation. he expects nigerians to have sense and know what is good for us. but most of us do not. we like, the isrealites, still yearn for the comforts of slavery. that orientation, for quick fixes, quick money, no thought of the future, mental indiscipline, thats what PMB needs to address. the reorientation of the nigerian mind

i fear though, that a generation may already be lost. just look at the things you see kids posting on NL

If we are suffering because the admin is structyrakmt adjusting our country, we can at least have respite that tomorrow will be better.
But this one is that we are suffering with no hope, suffering because of foolish policies, and suffering because many Nigerians because of bigotry will not say the truth.

nnofaith:
Nigerians need to get it in their head that they are in recession cos of financial crisis, crude oil prices more than halved, you have no savings and you have a huge pile of debt you are servicing, no economic genius can get you out of this crisis over night. what you are experiencing right now is a culmination of years of mismanagement, except you want to lie to yourselves (i know you guys enjoy doing that) you are not getting out of this any time soon except of course you want to dig us further in to the hole and postpone the evil day. what we need right now is to carefully navigate ourselves away from this crisis by being prudent with our lean resources and make investments in structures that we help diversify our economy.

And you think this herdsman can navigate us out of this mess

Very funny.

agabusta:
And the peeps opposed to Buhari are still yet to attain political maturity. They think it's by abuses and half truths. Despite all the abuses and half truths of pre 2015 elections, Buhari still won.

Exactly same mistake PDP made by focusing on abuses instead of showing better alternatives.

If it continues this way, Buhari may still win 2nd term with the help of the south west. The SW voters are less emotional and sentimental. People opposed to Buhari are just too emotional emphatically refusing to acknowledge the foundation of the economic problems we are having now.


Just watch how they will respond with abuses to this my post.

These SW guys like over estimating their importance in Nigerian politics.....
So in the last elections, you think Buhari would have won without winning Kwara, Kogi, Benue and Plateau; D

With the way Fulani herdsmen have dealt a deadly blow to the middle belt, they would never vote a herdsmen for second term.
And if course, the SE/SS would never vote a herdsman too, even if they have to vote another northerner over him.
And that is 11 states against SW 6.
The core north will be split because PDP will adopt a northern candidate too; At least that candidate will win his state, and the States around him.
With all these happening, you think the SW has the way alone

Anyways, all these ones are speculation, let God keep us alive till 2019.

repogirl:
Now you think you just made sense abi?

Ngozi told you she cooks for her husband? While she was in Nigeria and her family remained in the US, she was cooking and sending food to her family via email abi UPS abi?

Or ia it Hilary Clinton that goes home to be cooking for her husband everyday, while on tour and campaigning to be elected president of united states.

Remi tinubu nko, after a long day at work, goes to Lagos from abuja to cook for her husband, abi?

Guy,pls upgrade your thinking. There's more to life than food. Even Bible says man shall not live by bread alone. The worth of a woman isn't in spending her whole life in the kitchen cooking your food. Not in this present time.

Like I said, there are options and she can learn, if she wants to. It shouldn't be the end of a marriage, marriage is more than food only.

You have a point tho.
But it's better if a lady knows how to cook.
It's a live saving-Hunger banishing skill

splenzard:
men are born between the legs of a woman
and spend all their life getting back in there
because "no place like home"

So women were born from This logic no follow o

Bifwoli:
Don't show ignorance please.There's a big difference between "biggest economy" and "best economy" because bigger size does not automatically equal "quality".Your "Best economy" is without constant power,it often has fuel shortages,it has filthy slums,chaotic streets and litter all over.Besides your economic growth has slowed down sharply and the Naira has been devalued bigtime- hows that a "best economy" ??

I'd rather live in Kigali,Rwanda or Port Louis Mauritius with their well developed infrastructure,cleaner neighbourhoods,constant power,more safety ,stable curencies and more orderly life than the chaos and big mess of Lagos.

There are cool cities in Nigeria too o.
Gba gbe nyen.

Are they still blaming Jonathan? na wa o

*JUJU IS REAL IN AFRICA!

MEN....GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Lol @Juju is real.
Are you a victim?

But your opinion is on point.

Zico5:
U need no apology. Its clear to the blind, audible to the deaf that Gej with his criminals destroyed everything the country supposed to use for today's austerity. Where is Diesani today, where is obanikoro, among others. They know what they have done and that is why they are running here and there. There can never be peace for the wicked. They will eventually pay for their sins unless they will not step into this country again.

Story story.

ConqueredWest:
What of Fashola and Adeosun. Even with empty stomach, you still defend your tribespeople.

This is why prayers don't work for u guys

Don't mind them.

DrRasheed:
Buhari is doing all with in the bond of his capability and no body can make it better than the way he is doing it

Are you a joker?
Nobody in this big country can do it better than he is doing it?

Which kind reasoning be this?

chukxie:
Everyone knows Chicago isn't a country, bro.

Every one should have known I was being sarcastic too. That's all

sarrki:
Come 2019 the story continues PDP zoned presidency to the north & Vp to SE
In your calculations you think any nothernern can win buhari in the north ? Or you think southwest will discard osinbajo for a SE VP ?

Wake up bro

Till then, we will see.
To remind you, Yar'adua defeated Buhari in 2007.
Obasanjo defeated him in 2003
Jonathan defeated him in 2011

And with the suffering going on, even if a stone contests against Buhari, that stone will win.

caesaraba:
Patiently waiting for part 2. To those who are from the SE/SS and are online steadily everyday beating the drums of war, keep in mind that y'all have folks in all parts of the country. Honest to the creator of the universe, if I was a relative to any of those gruesomely murdered soldiers, by tomorrow evening there'd have been a NL thread displaying gory pictures of..... No wahala. The war y'all have been praying for will come in due time. Hope we all get to enjoy it. In the meantime, continue your victory dance.

What is this one saying.
Instead of us to look for peaceful solution, and pray for peace, you are threatening those from the SE/SS.
If violence eventually breaks out in this country GOD FORBID, you think the casualties will be one sided?

The country will be in deep shit because Both sides (all sides) will suffer serious casualties.

Let us pray for peace, and a peaceful resolution of this crisis.

God bless Nigeria

jackpiperr:
You should know that was a minor mistake . Above is your own mistake.

Yea
My auto correct changes see to are

oduastates:
The Foreign investors I know, I like and want to see
Cadbury
Nestlé
Nigerian breweries
Procter and Gamble
Toyota, Honda,Peugeot,Nissan, BMW
Craft etc



I keep hearing about these mystical foreign investors . Where are those investors?
Where are their power plants, steel plants, toy factories etc.
The investors he is talking about are the speculators who come to Nigeria to inflate bubbles In the stock exchange who then sell at the height of the bubble, and leave the country with a bill.
While the racket is going on, these so called elites have so much money to throw on Wrist-watches, champagnes, exotic cars etc.
Buhari rightly trapped these folks money in Nigeria with the ban on forex or they would have depleted the forex reserves faster than you can say bob.
Their fingers got burnt so do not expect them to come back any time soon.
My grouse with Buhari is definitely not on the economy.
Get used to Nigeria for what she is.
A poor country with millions of unproductive citizens.

Are you for real?

Onegai:
So, I did a quick Google search and I found a recently completed stadium, Akwa Ibom stadium. What has stopped you from taking her there to have a look. I'm not a sports person but I know that wherever a stadium is close by, athletes are training.

Getting the best jobs in Nigeria is a fantastic feat, particularly with the crumbling economy and nepotism. Even 1st class students are struggling. But like I've said before, if your sister went to compete, even if she didn't win but she mentioned it in an interview, what do you think will happen? Which candidate is more memorable, Miss "I competes in Long Jump at the Olympics but didn't win a medal" or Miss "I have a 2:1, just like the rest 50% other applicants and please remember it is from a Nigerian university, which everyone assumes produces half-baked graduates who can't speak English well or understand Logic and Reasoning?"

Which candidate stands out more?

Do you know the crazy thing? Even in the U.S. they have budget cuts everywhere affecting schools, arts and sports. Parents will go and raise funds to keep those things in a good shape for their children. I know this, before I had to help my aunt at a fundraiser in her small community to support some kids trying out for Nationals for some sport. In Nigeria, if I declare "my pastor needs a new private jet, my sister needs a N2million wedding and my church needs a 'befitting' N50million new auditorium", people will troop out to donate. If I say "my community needs a new clinic, my village needs more books in their school library, I want to buy equipment for my local Youth group to train them in Volleyball", how many people do you think I'll get to donate?

It's what Nigerians like and value they spend on. So, yeah, get used to Nigeria managing to win 3 medals at every Olympics.

That Chierika Ukogu girl competing in Rowing has become a mini-superstar. She's even featured on CNN. Remind me how many Medical students (because she's studying Medicine) from UniLag, UNN or any other uni is as popular as her right now. Chioma Ajunwa (who got promoted through the ranks of NPF), Blessing Okagbare, etc. See a pattern?

Good luck with your sister. There are fewer jobs nowadays. It's not longer about book knowledge, I hope you are now making friends with the right people so she can get a bank job instead of teaching like her peers.

Honestly speaking.....
I love your submission here.

chukxie:
It seems you didn't read the article before commenting on it.

Oga don't make yourself look stupid.

Didn't you are in the article for Chicago that they said that It is a developed country?
Abi you need glasses ni?

ooshinibos:
BRUV ...u dont know what you are missing ( your mind has been conditioned to unlawfulness and disorder ) , living in Nigeria is another thing ,,,until you visit the USA ...and come back to Nigeria then you will know you are suffering and underliving in Nigeria ....No place like home is a good theme but ur home dont have light ; GOOD EDUCATION AND BASIC AMENITIES ..what kind of home is that !!! , the truth ..Nigerians are not honest ..and thats why how leaders are not performing because citizens cannot distinguish between life and death, prosperity and poverty ...dont get me wrong , if you have money ,you will enjoy Nigeria ( but the chance of armed robbers taking their share is high ) , when have u slept or just going your normal way without thinking of thevies breaking into your house or armed robbers bunping into you ? .. living in USA or UK ( i have lived both ) has his short comings ( if you dont have papers or you are out of a job ) but compare to Nigeria ...you cannot even start ...not comparable ,,,cant you see the queues at the uk and usa EMBASSIES ?..these people are not stupid now ...Nigeria is for the elites ,Army , and rich folks ..if the poor have their way they will alll leave Nigeria today ..at least for now ..until we get our acts together ,Nigeria is the pits ,,enough said bruv

You are right....

Alochigozie:
Accounting shouldn't be on the list bro,you said some engineering students are fast changing their carriers by writing professional exams like ICAN,ACCA,ANAN and the rest that means the profession rocks and you're still contradicting yourself my mentioning accounting in your list

He meant studying it as a course in the university, and he is right.
Why study accounting in the university, when you can study economics, and write ican along the line, and by the time you are graduating, you have both your B.Sc (Hons) Economics, and your ACA

This is more marketable than studying accounting in the university.
