Hmm... when you read through the thread you'll understand what I mean.

The Nigerian situation calls for great concern.

We have bright minds among us but no motivation whatsoever; not even low interest soft loans for sme's, too bad!

I have viable ideas that needs funding to take off but for where, no show!

Infact I'm more speechless reading the thread!

Yes bro..
I get you.....
But Nigeria is one country I know that defends it's oppressors, so what do we expect....
I started following this thread from the beginning some days ago, and never did I expect that it will degenerate to this.


Very sad indeed

This thread has made me so happy!!!!!!
This goes to show that we Nigerians are not terrible people, we are just decieved by the elite.

BJ4REEL:
Not funny at all!

What is not funny?

Did i condemned his belief, why not comprehend my post before you quote me

Well,you can still go and read it back

It is a simple QUESTION Yes or No.

ArodeTsolaye:
Now Now Now, these thread don reach 40 pages? Damn! I underestimated the level of hunger in this una nigeria.

Keep shouting 'one nigeria' don't do the sensible thing by partitioning the country into manageable parts so you can survive. Keep hailing political thugs as share stipends of your own commonwealth to you.

Partitioning is not the solution bro.
Gambia is small, and homogeneous but they are suffering there.
The problem is greed in Africa

Dgaffer:
It's so pathetic how some youths denounce their religious believe just to get attention from ymodulus because he once mentioned that he is an atheist... This unemployment needs to be addressed seriously or better still find a way to curb this issue as OBJ said we are sitting in a gun-powder ready to explode with this unemployment rate in Nigeria

Do you have a problem with the fact that he is atheist?

This goes to shhow how bad things are in this country now....

I understand where you are coming from, bro.

Do you know why till this day, a nationwide revolution has not begun? It is simply because Nigeria is not a united country. We are not one, and we have never been one. I don't see it happening, EVER.
Once a section of the country feels they are being shortchanged, all the government needs to do is appoint someone from that region into a certain position, and what happens next is, the people will say, "well, one of us has been appointed. Let's wait and see how things go. Maybe the government has remembered us afterall"
This happens consistently. It all boils down to tribalism along with it's varying interests. Now that we feel that the FG is appointing mostly Northerners, majority of the south complains. Once a prominent position is given to, say, someone from the SS, that region keeps quiet a bit. AS IF SUCH AN APPOINTMENT EVEN MEANS ANYTHING TO THE COMMON MAN IN THAT REGION!

It's not totally an issue of cowardice. No Igbo man will rise up in protest over a Yoruba village that gets ransacked by Fulani herdsmen. No Yoruba politician will lose sleep if Boko Haram suddenly wipes off an entire LGA in Damaturu. No Hausa man will lose his appetite if a sudden epidemic wipes off half the population of a rural community in the Niger Delta.

It's the same reason why, when a politician is being investigated for corruption, his kinsmen will rise up in protest, and call it witch hunting
It's also the reason why, every politician in power is like "I need to loot as much as I can lay my hands on right now". Knowing that it is a temporary position, without much accountability.

Bottom line, no tribe or groups of tribe is ready to lose his life over a country that most of us feel no allegiance or loyalty to. Will you, for instance, accept to lead a ragtag mob that decides to march to Aso Rock tomorrow morning? of course, you'd first ask yourself if you are the most affected from the hardship ravaging the country.
The very first factor that ensures a successful revolution is UNITY. Once everyone is unified in their political conviction and decide on achieving the same goal, then a revolution might just be looming. Go read up the history of countries that had a successful revolution. A united front was the common and overwhelming factor. As it is now, in Nigeria, it is every man for himself.

And in your opinion, why do you think Nigeria is not United?

Nigeria is not the most ethnic diverse country in the world, yet our wahala is too much.

It is the political class, the religious leaders and the elite that divided this country along ethnic lines *divide and rule*
That is the game.
Even in small states in Nigeria, the minority cannot taste political office due to the same shenanigans of these people.

Benue and Kogi states come to mind here.

The solution here is to see this fight as a fight between masses and the greedy elite, not Igbo vs Yoruba, or Christian vs Muslim, because even if this country is split into 15, the problem will remain, or even be worse.

hotspec:
height of stupidity. Many of them will enter N300 taxi to buy N100 apple. I pity our value system in ds country, especially d youth. When did shopping at the mall becomes affluence?

I wonder o

mrsage:
How much did the border guys collect?

Then what's the current exchange rate?

Also hiow much do you think will be ideal for the entire trip?

If you do not have a yellow fever card, it will be even more expensive tho.

I spent 3000+ at Seme
I can't remember hilla condji
and Aflao.......
But as a virgin passport holder, you will be exploited big time, that is for sure.

So if you have a right budget, just use your voters card instead. You will still pay, but far less.
That is my advise for you.

But if you like to keep stamps of different countries, like I do, they you can use your passport.


As for budget, ! I can't really say, because when I took my trip, the exchange rate was not this terrible o.
But since you are spending six days (hotels + tramsport+ food+ souvenirs + bribes etc) maybe you should have AT LEAST 70 GRAND on you.


And another thing.. Keep your money well, or divide it into two, half in your acct and half on you. You can withdraw over ATM there (I do it a lot)


Ask me any other questions

mrsage:
I've not done it before. That's why I'm here so I can get some advice.

I have a passport but from what I discovered I can do without it. Is this true?

I don't know the current exchange rates

I have done a long road trip myself..... And it was fun, with my passport. But despite the fact that I have airport stamps in my passport, they still called my passport a virgin passport, and fleeced me of my money...



But I still advice you use your passport tho.....

Ask ME ANY other questions

Very informative read. Too bad our diplomats are not working

Mykelpato:
This is when God decides to Call you,but you put your phone on call divert


Good name is better than riches?this man can't be successful he will continue to serve others Even if it was Tony Elumelu the Owner of UBA that saw the money he would just add it to his money and grow his business.

Just lookatew.....
Person pikin

ekefre4:
Lets say 30k gave me Ghc 340 but I saw Ghc 490 in d acct

ekefre4:
Access

And please can you tell me the rate they charge you?

Please who has the current exchange rates .. And whether I can use my GTB MasterCard

One question...... Have you done this before... And two more questions..... Will you use your passport? And do you know the current exchange rate?

Fulaman198:
If you truly believe other Africans want our destruction, then you are kidding yourself. Western countries want Nigerian destruction more so than anyone else especially U.$.

The documents are all leaked online. Many of their agents have been in this country for some time now wishing for its breakup to see a weakened Nigeria. Western nations propagate an image of heroism and justice worldwide but they are the biggest hypocrites known to man.

Really? Tell me more.

icedbreez:
Not bad, except you deliberately left out the fact most of these tourist destinations cost a fortune in US dollars. For example that underwater bed and aquarium in Mahe Island in the Seychelles will set you back Hundreds of Thousands in Naira. Don't mislead people, most of those hotels in Tanzania and Mauritius re 5 Star and host millionaires from Europe.

Well......
The info was still useful tho

Abidjan is a cool place, but could be hard if you don't have any source if income o. I recommend Abidjan over Accra anytime, as I have lived in both countries.
However, you have to come with the mindset of starting a business, instead of looking for a job.

But do we really need this passport?

Or just declare that all Africans can visit other African countries for 90 days without a visa prior to arrival
what do you guys think

SnakeDoctor2020:
It baffles me when some people that have not even been to Ghana talk bullshit about America .

Lol... very funny

Abidjan is a great city.....

Na Russia e happen
