I still wonder why d poor will involve himself in drug trafficking when d penalty is life imprison...

Because Nigerian authorities take bribes and allow theft. So the poor is taking a chance. After all a criminal is our president and nobody did anything.

MyVILLAGEpeople:


Do the Nigerian police know this themselves?

Nigerian police have been doing the same one job that colonial masters gavr then since before independence.
Protect rich people from poor people.

NOwazobia:
Very correct.

Nigerians are very friendly to foreigners.

Nigerians are always friendly to foreigners because they think foreigners will give them visa to leave. But foreigner treat us like shit in foreing countries.

EmeeNaka:
Disgraceful and disgusting

When they do it to fellow Nigerians, it is allowed but now to White Man it is disgraceful and disgusting?
Nonsense reasoning
They should collect all their money from foreigners and all white people. And leave us alone.

Politicians Have Enjoyed Enough, It’s Now People’s Turn – Otti

This is a very dumb statement.
The politicians were NOT supposed to enjoy AT ALL before.
The people were damn TOO MISINFORMED to think that.
-
So now, the people are powerless to remove the politicians or turn things around.

brain54:
It's the pull of the moon's gravity...

That holds earth in place.


Without the moon earth cannot/will not exist.


Or at least not the way we know it!

There's two issues here.
If the moon never existed, earth will exist very well and you won't even know anything.
But if the moon suddenly got destroyed or the particles of the mass can cause a lot of
havoc for us. Some say they can float towards earth and form a ring around the earth like saturn.

Nigerians has been suffering for a long time

Because we have been doing things wrongly for a long time.

shaybebaby:

I think you will find things were better in 74.

That means the only time any thing good happened was under colonial rule of the British up to 1960. After they left, civil war, military rule, jaga-jaga behaviours and criminality.

olatade:
I hope she's still alive tho

That lady has probably long fled overseas.
Being articulate and being Educated in Nigeria is a recipe for frustration.

Silentgroper:
I've seen someone looking for gluten free bread at a store .. I wonder if that Nigerian also eat GMO oyinbo man food..

Bros, just dey play....

Normal chicken is supposed to grow in like 6 months. But the ones they use for Macdonalds KFC grows in 1 month. The chicken is still biologically a baby, but it is full adult size. That's why the bones are soft. The chemical used to expand that chicken is till in the chicken. You eat that chicken a d you too expand fast like the chicken. Other fertilisers in other foods also affect you the eater this is why forcing people start getting all this gluten problems. They eat too many chemicals in their fake diet. You don't know that Nigerian guys diet history. But it very well can be the case.

Silentgroper:
what if he's gluten intolerant

Ha.
Gluten intolerance. Does that happen in NIgeria?
That's American white people stuff. With all that GMO food they eat, that makes them and
their chickens swell up like balloons.
We don't have that issue here in Nigeria.

happney65:
Everything Negative is always from the North. It is always dominated by the North

A very backward region

They've already told you.
Boko Haram means, Western Education is evil.
-
So how can you expect any western/foreign involvement there when they completely hate western ideologies?
Same with Imo and the other eastern states.

Biglittlelois:
No straight answer to this
The mother MAY be drunk and beat the daughter cos she's intoxicated, or due to anger, alcohol bring out the worst in humans
The daughter MAY be underage so can't drink alcohol
The daughter MAY be drunk which made the mother beat her.

The original statement is one way many British and Americans make jokes and comedies.
It's just misdirecting the subject of the sentence. And it is intellectually engaging.
They don't have to speak bad grammar just to make a joke.
Many Nigerian comedians do not understand this and resort to speaking bad English grammar as their joke.
Which is totally unintellectual.
Here's a British skit that make use of this type of logic. The Guy is telling a story with some particular subjects
and the bar man is constantly referring to a different subject out of the same sentence.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8ko2nCk_hE

Man: My wife just doesn't understand me. (My reasonings as a man)
Barman: Polish or something (else) is she? (Polish people (from Poland) will not understand when you speak English).

Sapasenator:
Generator capital of the world. The average Nigerian is not different from their useless leaders.

Can you be above the average Nigerian?
I was listening to 99.3 Nig Info radio, and the guy mentioned that he can't
even remember any recent PATRIOTIC NATIONALIST in this country anymore.
Everybody has defaulted to facing their own tribe. And that is very bad for leadership of
a nation having 500 other tribes.
We need people who are TOTALLY detribalised to lead this particular nation, Nigeria.
British are foreigners. So automatically, they were detribalised.
But now we need a native born Nigerian to be detribalised AND others will copy him
to also be detribalised. That's the only way this nation can work.
Otherwise, YOU TOO are not different from our useless leaders.

Ijaya123:


Light food? Rice, bread, plantain, pap and moin moin etc.

Well, i'm getting a bit tight at the waist.
Noodles and Abacha are as good as nothing, when I eat them.
Rice, plantain, moi-moi, wheat bread are very filling.
-
Eba, yam, fufu causes instant constipation for me, and I've stopped eating those.

Ijaya123:
Noodles, Shawarma and Abacha.

You just mentioned light foods.
Probably the person is getting too fat, but is still hungry.
And wants to eat light food.
Noodle, Shawarma and Abacha.

BlackRainDrops:
Wheat bread, totally tasteless stuff, even with butter. And also, ewedu. That particular soup gives me PTSD whenever I smell it. I hope to one day get over it.

Wheat bread aids digestion.
When you get past 40, white bread will immediately cause you constipation even if you eat 1 slice.
Wheat bread will be your best friend.
Same as Ewedu soup. It's a vegetable and it's cheap.

People eat different foods for different reasons and at different stages in their lives.

phemmie06:
Untill there's bl00dshed in any crisis which the nation is passing through, the dealers called leaders won't find solution.
It will favour me gang.... How far

Look see...
Nigeria gets its foreign exchange from selling crude oil export.
Government is in charge of the sales and export.
Not the people.
And the people are too angry with each other to see this and FIGHT OUT the government.

So if people like, let them argue, fight, curse and kill each other till everybody is dead in NIgeria.
When everyone is dead, Nigerian government will continue selling the crude oil,
then build up all the empty land and open the place up for European and other
foreign investors to come and settle.

MurderX:
This man na Pastor, he will have a big problem with people like Bobrisky, now I understand why Bobrisky is in jail.

The man has to get to the root of Right and Wrong.
and that is morality.
If you are the one doing his job, how will you do it without changing into a pastor?

I000Capacity:
The way to go is to fix an iron net barricade across some of the areas where compliance is low. This will complement the effort of the officials carrying out the enforcement.”

Aboki boys will tear down the barricade and sell off as scrap metal.
There's too many problems.

tuoyoojo:
This shit is not funny at all.

If they told Nigerians that by February 2023 during the campaign that fuel would jump from 197 naira to 950 naira.....they would say it was impossible

In our very before, you see am they happen like film

Who is APC going to blame for this

We keep doing stupid things and expecting good to come out of it.
And each time and time again, bad result comes out. Yet we will not learn.

sureinfo:
This is really disgraceful, was he trying to shut her up or what? Is that how he’ll respond if it were a white person asking him?

Well No. We always expect a white person to speak differently.
But we don't expect a black person to be trying to speak like a white person.
-
In the movie Pink Panther, Beyonce was behaving and speaking like a white person.
And it got the black American community very angry with her for betraying them as a
black woman.

tunde1200:


Yes but they made it so of which I don't like.
An ordinary Chinese and Russian citizens prefer their own language than English language why not here too

The Answer is "Force" and technology.
They all could Write down their languages with their own letters.
They all had paper, pencil, pen, gunpower (for bullets), and expert metal working skills to make weapons for war, swords, spear, armour
They all had horses for mechanised labour and carrying their soldiers to the battlefield. Steam Engine trains, Bicycles, ... machines.
All three languages you mentioned had Empires and fought bloody wars, using all these technologies, to Force their languages on others.
Without local homegrown technology, you are not a nation in anyway.
They collected almost all of Africa and pushed us aside.

British Empire travelled around the world to colonise other countries and force English into their mouths.
Russia had Tzars, Communism and others to expand their boundaries and conquer as much of Europe as possible.
China had Dynasties and Communism and Forceful rulers.

We Nigeria are a collection of very small tribes and villages that were very quickly overpowered by for the weapons of the British.
Imagine to the extent that they said, white men showed us umbrella and mirror as gifts and we were so delighted that we sold off our brothers to them in slavery. (Till TODAY, we're still relying HEAVILY on imported goods. EVEN our own petrol is STILL being imported because we can't make ANYTHING.
-
Nigeria has tried tirelessly to be united.
Without Nigeria's Army, we don't have any joint forces of all the local tribes to fight off any invaders.
It is the British that made Nigeria Army for us and left us to manage ourselves with it.

We're actively STILL fighting ourselves EVEN RIGHT HERE, TILL NOW on Nairaland DAILY!!!
How can such disorganised group of people ever get one coherent language?
Each of our tribes is too small to dominate. So we just fight each other instead.

Unfortunately, English is the only language that works for Nigeria.
If Tinubu starts speaking Yoruba on TV to address Nigerians, the country will immediately divide and fall appart.
He has to speak English, So did Buhari, And Jonathan, And Yar-Adua, Shonekan, Obasanjo, Abacha, Babangida, Shagari....

tunde1200:
Philips
But I don't care because is not my language

But you are speaking it right now.
And it is what you use to reach out to other Nigerians and foreigners all over the world.
Your own local language will only connect you to a handful of people.

The issue here is that English is a language that is derived from many other European languages including French, Latin and Greek.
In colonial times, The British that came to Nigeria used to teach Latin in Missionary schools.
You understand Latin, you under English better and you have no problems like this.
But with time, Nigerians have dissociated themselves from European culture and just isolated English alone.
And hence everybody is now confused.
You took language and discarded its roots. Hence all the headaches and disbeliefs.

KingLennon:
No course is useless, it is just the way you see it. Botany graduates dey follow work for bank these days o

The course can still be useless.
At the end of the day, the only reason you are going to university is because
there is legal requirement from employers to hire graduates with NYSC certificate.
You can't get the NYSC certificate if you do not go to UNI or Poly.
Nigerians just waste their time in University score whatever result, get degree then NYSC certificate
then beg for any job that doesn't concern their degree course.
-
But their overseas counterparts, go STRAIGHT to job and work as intern, part time staff or labour.
From the job, they then decide whether to study a course that has anything to do with THAT particular job.
Any time you discuss with your agemate, they already have 10 years work experience.

ufotunang:
The students are to blame..the reading culture in Nigeria has died off..many of these students are in social media for 24hrs.. Instagram YouTube video watching sexy adult films, Facebook, TikTok on cable tv watching adult movies...so they are distracted by all of these and they do not read and study their books and their parents are busy hustling and working no time to supervise their children and discipline and train them

Internet has spoilt things. It is a 2 edged sword. 1 side gives information. The other side gives moral destruction.

When I was in Uni, we had to buy books and handouts to read. Then Internet came, and I learnt about PDF. Can you imagine that till today, the 1000 pages textbook I downloaded, I've still not read it? Free download O! But zero concentration to read it. Instead it is the physical paper books that I was able to read and pass my exams.
Who has power to read 1000 pages PDF? Online, when Facebook etc is on the same computer you are using?

3kay945:


Who to blame? The list isn't complete, sir.

I blame them all though in various level of percentage.
1. The government
2. Parents
3. Students
4. Teachers
5.Social media
6.Religious houses
7.The society at large.

I don't have time sharing the percentages.

Exactly same thing I said.
The world has changed.
Children have to be seriously protected from corrupting influences all around.

Olam09:
Students

The world.
When I was a student, there was hardly any cable TV. No DSTV in Nigeria. Just our 5 local stations on TV. TV started at 5pm and closed by 12 midnight. I only watched voltron or whatever from 5pm to 6pm, that's if there was light. We didn't have generator. Non of my friends had gen. Only kerosene lamp. Then go out and play, then 7:30pm to 8:00pm one comedy. And that was it. No Internet, no tablet. Nothing. Just carry books and read and study.
Today, kids are carrying DEATH in their hands, mobile phones. And it is giving them mental anxiety, depression, anxiety disorders and other mental health issues.
Why won't they fail exams? Their heads are filled up with shit disturbing their concentration and progress.

DJInfluence:
In as much as am happy for her, I don't see how this will benefit those kids. By the time they are 20 years she will be 76 years. Who will be taking care of who by then?

They should have learnt work from age 10 and take care of her.
