the more i read rubbish like this, the more pressure i feel to emigrate from this country. my children are growing up around children of idiots like these and it is a struggle to impart the right values onto them.

you better move your kids from that poisonous environment

too many fools in one continent

This is why Nigeria is a destroyed shithole country

just look at the mentality of the animals I share a country with

It is now public knowledge that she was raped, so what?

why should a tape victim be even stigmatized in the first place?

Anyone doing that is sick in the head

most Nigerians are sick in the head so I am nit surprised

Timi and his family will continue to live the quality of life MOST NIGERIANS who are "stigmatizing" and shaming them will only dream of, or watch on T.V.

Regardless of what any one thinks, life continues

Timi is a good man for standing and supporting his wife.

las las you move to a civilised country and jettison this shithole if the stigma too much
afterall your kids are USC

ValCon888:
Why people watch this show is beyond me.
Instead of rising up against the imminent RUGA policy that is about to divide the nation, we are watching Big Brother.

Misplaced priorities in this country.

watching the show is theft choice

Nigerians are not yet mature to respect the choices of others

attribute of a $hithole country

Jaqenhghar:
Even the COZA it's because it happened to Timi Dakolo's wife. If it was one unknown person you think they will do anything?

nairalee:
I watched this video over and over again yet couldn't find what she did wrong. Her only offence must have been that she's not a wealthy Nigerian.

Ordinary "Oga calm down" that she said earned her combos of slap and arrest by police

Being poor and a Nigerian is the worst combo of misfortune that can befall a human.

Nawa o

your third paragraph is the unfortunate truth

chrisagyei:
what kinda Ghanaian am I?,seriously.Kk listen,I hope you've taken my advice and will stay out of Ghana's business or even type "Ghana" or "Ghanaians" in any of your comments.You coming here never means you know 1/100th of Ghana it Ghanaians.Even me and other Ghanaians don't know a quarter of Ghana and Ghanaians upon all my knowledge and exposure.And we don't and don't wanna you either.Keep your Ghana bashing or praise or mention away so I can leave this hell of a forum in peace.Whether you better than us or whatever,I wish you never step foot into Ghana again with your coins which you brag or see yourself as an investor,lol buh rather the citizens see you as a criminal(which is wrong generalization) buh am not in the position to say that.ECOWAS movements and Ghana Immigration Authority has that option.

"you wish I never step foot in Ghana again "

Nigga, YOU ARE TRIPPIN

I go dey land steady for una domot for a long time coming

your wish does not mean $hit

this governor is just doing PR

nothing on ground

Women in this Nigeria will always act think and behave STUPID

everytime their husbands get into hot water for their foolishness, you will see them jumping out in their defence blindly, even carrying the case more than the man who is involved in it...

Why don't you sit this one out and let him face his issues


You really think Men in this NiggerArea will sit right 4 you in this manner when the tables are turned?

He eoll probably be in Sheraton nacking his new consignments


but then
your husband in a sex shop

Greece has always been in trouble since time immemorial. You can read more on the historical origin of Greece Sovereign Debt Crisis. Greece economy is even now relatively better!

Italy’s case is not the result of adopting the Euros. Italy’s demographic structure is getting worse. The country is experiencing aging population. This affects productivity. Yet it is the first point of arrival for refugees and asylum seekers in Europe. Refugees who remain in Italy mainly do illegal jobs yet they are being paid monthly stipends. They are therefore not being productive! In Germany, they are well utilized.

I can go on. Why didn’t you mention France, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands? The problem is not the Euros, it is domestic policy failures!

smh

You are not getting my point

those countries in trouble would have saved themselves if they have not lost their monetary sovereignty t to a central bank in Brussels
If there central banks were still central banks, the countries would have saved themselves easily
but becayse they had no control over their monetary issues, their situation for worse

Okay imagine a Nigeria under Buhari in 2016

You really think the cbn would have practiced all manners of experiment if Nigeria were using this fvckin "ECO"?

We would have been double fvcked

not to think that these our neighbours are still tied to the apron strings of France by choice

You really think France will not use back door to influence policy decisions (these countries are ever ready to please France)
with that happening don't you know we are screwed ?

The dynamics are not just right


economic union is good

promoting trade is good

but evetinr should keep there currencies

NAFTA volume of trade is massive

but then

the U.S. Canada and Mexico still kedps their currencies

the NAFTA model will suit ECOWAS better than this experiment

He went there with 3 young ladies to select the best intimacy gadget to satisfy his fetish fantasy. Probaby a whip or a slave chain. Who knows, he might be a fan of feminine domination.

And yet we wonder where the country is headed with this particular crop of leaders.

Dayum

Kkshanana90:
It will only be a bad move if the macroeconomic conditionalities are not met by the respective countries.

More so, we need to encourage more trade amongst the member states.

Adopting a single currency within an economic block always has its disadvantages. But on this, the merits will outweigh the demerits in the long-run.

When the Euro was introduced, most Germans considered it a bad move. What do we have today? Today’s reality shows otherwise.

in 2019 the euro is stil a bad move

Greece got into trouble
Italy got into hot water
Portugal in a big mess
Spain on life support

They are called the "PIGS" for a reason

They are just managing the situation
because the northern States are still solvent bailing them out

You think Nigeria can bail anyone out?

martineverest:

I will not bother to type the demerits
I've done so in similar threads.

If or when the ECO comes on board,

You will beg and wish for the days of Naira.

Seems you guys don't know how terrible the rest of the economies of MOST ECOWAS countries are.

don't mind them


guinea
guinea Bissau
mali
niger
Liberia
Sierra Leone
all using the same currency with Nigeria

and Nigeria agreed to this foolishness?

Damn

Kkshanana90:
Mostly in our advantage. On the whole, it is great for the sub-regional organization. Anything that is good for ECOWAS is especially good for Nigeria.

It’ll also ensure monetary independence for the French-Speaking ECOWAS member states if they adopt the currency.

This is a bad move

but many cannot see it

Another misguided quitter. During the 1700s, Americans were under colonial rule by Great Britain. The British Royal Navy had conquered 3/4th of the world's land and were the greatest military ever formed on this planet ( yes even greater than the Roman empire and ottoman empire). Fighting against the Royal Navy with untrained and poorly funded funded troops was almost suicidal, but in 1775 Americans waged war for their independence. They would rather sacrifice thousands of life at the chance of freedom than remain colonised forever.

In 1917, America joined World War I even though this was mostly Europe's war, America realized that staying neutral only meant that the Germans may have unchecked power and dominance and sooner or later they might threaten the north American continent.

In 1941, America joined the 2nd World War after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawai. This was by far America's bloodiest war. Teens as young as 17 were drafted against their will to fight because they realized, if the Germans, Japanese or Italians succeed in defeating Alied forces, nobody will be free. The Axis forces would've occupied America and who really knows what atrocities would've been metted on them.

This is only a brief synopsis of America's history of dying for their country in hopes of making it great. There are no guarantees for victory, but without these sacrifices, America might have remained colonised until the 1960s, afterwhich they could've been just another 3rd world country. But today, it is the greatest country on the face of the planet.

So you are very foolish and short sighted to give up on your home country. You are also very foolish to think you or your children cannot make it in Nigeria. I truly feel bad for your extreme pessimism and I hope you don't pass it on to your offspring.

my parents run thriving businesses in Nigeria
so I'm not talking because I'm from a "poor" home

by Nigerian standards, they made it.
I never said I can't maje it in Nigeria

but what is the use of "making it" in Nigeria when so many around you are poor, miserable, destitute and are looking for the slightest chance to get at you for making it,

My parents can't even travel to the other side of Nigeria where we come from because of the fear of herdsmen and kidnappers

Making it is not the issue
irs what you face after making it that will stress you

tens of thousands of Nigerians doing express entry are NOT Stupid.
They made it in Nigeria because if you did not, you won't have $20k to see the process through from.start to finish


There are certain things you are not seeing that we have all seen

Reeb2244:
Stupīd people like you are still on Nairaland?

It's surprising

NiyiRocks:
You're a true hero bro. It's heartwarming knowing people of like minds still exist. I broke up with an ex because of this ish. Said she had to give birth to the kids in the states, I asked her why and she spilled out the usual rhetoric.. to foster a good future on them, opportunities, blabla... I told her point blank if my being their father is not enough to equip them with the wherewithal to make it in life then they're bastards. But of course she's free to go have hers there but definitely not mine. Guy if you're based in Abuja or anytime you come around please holla. All drinks on me.

two of you just make me laugh

Princedapace:
U are right, it is a typical Nigerian thing, we love to enjoy those who worked hard to fix their countries but we dont have the zeal to fix ours. I love what Trump is doing, I wish he can do more. he should make moving to usa more difficult. Nigerians must come and fix the country.

Funny enough how we run to their countries and still insult whites..

see yeye us wey no fit fix country. There is nothing we can build from scratch. Seems God did not give us brain to fix anything from scratch. All we know how to do is enjoy already fixed issues. Lol

when you have the majority of the citizens in Africa, especially Nigeria as destructive, barbaric, illiterate, holding on to repugnant cultural mentality and practices and hateful /short sighted

You really think the small pool of us who are in the upper and lower middle class, who have been exposed and all that can fix Nigeria?

It's unfixable in such circumstances
so they have to go to where sensible people reside and dominate


Let me educate you

there are three classes of people in Nigeria

1) The political elite and the captains of industries and their cronies etc
these people profit massively from the state of Nigeria via crony capitalism, rent seeking, outright stealing and corruptions (the political class) etc
hence they will rather be based on NiggerArea because there is nowhere in the west crony capitalism or rent seeking they benefit from at that magnitude is practiced
Value addition for wealth is the way in the west.
unfortunately, most of them are not capable of that.

they are content with the status quo, and given their kids dual citizenship and put them in positions to replace them

2) The small pool of upper middle class folks like us, who have gotten an education, skills, exposure and all, who want to change the country because it's painful to see the level of foolishness going on in Nigeria in comparison to where we have visited or schooled
we have enough for ourselves and we also have surplus for some travles and other luxuries
tho not too much
this is the group of Nigerians who are in the position to change Nigeria, and really want to change Nigeria, but they really can't because of the third group below


3)The vast majority of poor, wretched, uneducated, barbaric, religious zealots, etc

this group of people are at the bottom, forms the majority of Nigeria, are indeed terrible people in their mentality and how they do things, they lack innovation, highly uneducated, ignorance and superstition runs rife in this level, and short sightedness (present gain for future damage) is the order of the day
They form majority of the voters who will vote wrong candidates in exchange for a pittance, burst pipelines, be thugs to politicians, and the list is endless

And this this the worst part, everytunw group 2 tries to make positive change, group one manipulated group three to sabotage the efforts of group 2 (this is especially so in the North)
And the group 3, being willing tools for their own self destruction are ever ready for that, in exchange for a pittance, or even as simple as being manipulated by religion or tribalism
That is why Nigeria is currently doomed

group 1 will make sure group 3 scuttle every attempt of group 2 (some peoole ib group 1 are sympathetic to the cause of group 2 tho)

That is why group 2 are flocking to Canada
That is why they are having their kids in the U.S.
That is why they are opening shell accounts in Europe Europe hustling to buy properties and green cards where they can...


Because when NiggerArea finally implodes

group 1 will fly out

the non deluded group 2 will also fly out
while group 3 destroy and kill each other (see foolishness)

I see you're hurt because Ghana is souring higher whilst the kidnapping hub and poverty capital of the world is vastly deteriorated.Listen,Ghana hardly talk about Nigeria.Your issues is the least of our concern.The only time we talk about Nigeria is when a Nigerian criminal,kidnapper or armed robber including cyber scammers are caught which always happens then together we admonish your failed country and how our immigration service should be always alert.Hahaha,I see you see yourself as an expatriate when you're here.Well,we see you as a criminal.All Nigerians are criminals according to most Ghanaian narratives buh I don't share that opinion,buh be careful what you call us when you claim we feed you or when you visit Ghana regularly.Remember that professor who was arrested,sacked and humiliated nationwide when he was caught on tape advising his Nigerian compatriots.Don't take our quietness for granted.We had two revolutions,executed publicly three former presidents and thousands of corrupt government officials in a day,we deported over 200,000 Nigerians in one year in 1969,so be mindful what you say in our midst.I will advise you never to involve yourself or discuss our politics wherever you are.I keep myself far away from Nigerian politics.We achieved all these for the country to be as best as you keep running to for comfort,business and security.If our currency which is 1 dollar to 5 cedis is worse performing,your 1 dollar to 400 naira which keeps depreciating like hell is not categorized at all.Read what your central bank Governor said about Ghana.

Hurt about what?

Nigga you trippin

just stay your lane, because now it's clear the kinda Ghanaian you are

I Know all these history lessons you are giving me

it has nothing to do wity the topic

Denying your kids that passport when you could have given them is a move your kids will hate you for

It's a country under the shackles of ignorance, barbarism, hate and short sightedness you think you, and the small pool of sensible people in Nigeria can just change


You are oblivious of the power dynamics in Nigeria

ill educate you more when I'm done with my task at hand

You are a quitter and myopic in reasoning. You don't even give yourself or your children a chance. If everyone reasoned like you, no one will remain in this country.

Who wants to remain in a badly run country?

as long as almajiri determines the fate of who leads Nigeria, you really think Nigeria will change?

lmao

damola1:
You are entitled to your opinion

However kindly note. It’s foolish

Nothing to do with USA or Uk. What matters is the opportunity.

Your kids have a better chance at success and living an improved quality life with the American passport.

Ordinary to go on vacation where you will spend money . One has to apply for visa. You don’t need all that crap

Look at me o

I have my money

but to travel to many countries I want to, I have to fill form and apply for visa tire

My carte de sejour where I live made it a bit easier to get visas
but still, a Nigerian passport is difficult to get visas

Imagine me reading my own father saying this openly in the midst of my current predicaments

smh

rentAcock:
Nobody welcomes their child into the world via a Nigerian hospital anymore. Trump should close this loophole, if you give birth in the U.S, that's great but no automatic citizenship. Your child must wait until the age of 21 to apply for citizenship and only if he or she has lived and schooled in the U.S for a combination of 18yrs without any criminal infractions. Our politicians, celebrities and regular Nigerians have exploited this loophole for far too long yet they are first to criticize America and support Russia. I refuse to join the band wagon, I had the and opportunity to give birth to my kids in the U.S but gladly refused; they are Nigerians by birth and they will make this country great.

That decision you took to have your kids in Nigeria WHEN you COULD have them abroad is a foolish decision you will regret eventually

Why don't you give them the citizenship and let your kids repudiate it later in life

20 years from Now, your kids may read this and swear for you


There is NO BASIS for your empty pride
You are from a third world failed $hithole country led by a cattle rearer, and because you have some change in your pocket does not change that




just look at what this man has done to his kids *smh*

The responses on this thread are disheartening.

No one is showing any form of outrage at the fact that this guy has been dealt with unjustly. He was made to fail because he would not pay bribe in school. I cringe at having to type this.
Some are saying "failure is the not the end" bla bla bla. Nigerians have accepted the situation of things in their country.
OP if you are this capable academically why did you attend a polytechnic?

This is what you should do: Register for the next JAMB exam. Pick a first generation federal university and study like no tomorrow.

Get the admission and start afresh. You are still young so age should not be a problem.

In four years you'd be out with a good grade. Potentially a first class.
Forget the m0rons on this thread telling you "school na scam"
The vast majority of them cannot even write proper sentences.
You can also start a social media campaign against that criminal lecturer. After you must have been in your choice university that is.

it's saddening the comments I read here
