We need technocrats to be in charge for constructive development to take over in Nigeria...

Politicians have caused more damage than development to our dear nation.

In America, during the 1940's 50's, they had Trams. A very nice form of transportation for the masses.
The car industry just began selling cars. But people were not buying cars because they didn't need ...
So the auto industries all go together discuss BAD plan.
They used their money to buy the tram companies and all their infrastructure.

Once they had ownership of the trams, they bastardised the whole thing. Scattered it finish - Nonsense.

Now every body leg was paining them and they were all forced to buy cars.

Nigeria is slow on public transport because the imported cars need to be sold. We're just importing like crazy

Why won't she miss Nigeria, after collecting that Huge sum from the sponsors.

Meanwhile, the part I love most during her visit was the donations she made to the orphanage home.

Whist the jobless youth remain jobless.

Chokocho.
Maybe it's that big river on the right or another one I can't see on the map

Commentor:
That's UK.

There are power lines hanging from poles in parts of USA, Ghana and Greece. All countries enjoying 24 hour electricity.

Our problem is us.

We keep voting in the wrong leaders who swindle us. And we are too scared to call them to book.
We ourselves are not straight forward. We like bend-bend, mago-mago…. We are dishonest and that is why dishonest rulers keep on ruling us.
Sorry to mention UK again.
In the old days, everybody packed from their villages in UK and rushed to London, Manchester and other main cities.
However, since that area is deadly freezing cold, you need to burn a fire in your house to keep it warm.
Everyone used COAL to burn the fire. Imagine a city where every home is burning coal. The whole place is black with smoke and fog.
Their government said this cannot continue. It is a pollutant and a health hazard.
The solution was to use gas.
But not in gas cylinder like our own. The gas is piped to every house underground. You burn the gas to keep warm
Imagine the whole UK and America, if the gas pipes in the city leaks and catches fire.... Everybody will die.

Why doesn't this happen? Because they "educated" themselves on the dangers of gas leaks and the benefits of gas heating.
Everyone continues to enjoy their "pollution free" gas heating and No explosion gas leaking.

Education! Education is the solution.

Are we Educated in Nigeria? But we have certificates and cannot solve any of our problems?

declear state of emergency and share prepaid meter to every damn nigeria and to evaquate d red bulb as against energy savings...and behold all we b OK in nigeria

I lived in UK for a good 4 years. I can't remember seeing power cables anywhere except the expressroad.
All their cables are buried under ground. In fact, Government built their houses, supplied the lines to the houses and supplied everyone with prepaid meter. Your own is to pay rent/mortgage and buy credit for your meter.
In my 4 years their "NEPA" took light only 2ce for a total of 5mins.

In Nigeria here, all this wires dangling up and down is an issue. Welders and other Electricians will just be tapping the light and blow out transformer. You will be there in the house with your prepaid meter and there's no light getting to you.

Goes to show that Nigerians are the beat people that can tolerate anything

Buhari for example

This is serious. Charley Boy was hoping that "Our Mumu don Do",
and you are confirming that we still have more extra mumu data to download?

kutitosin:
Are we your parents to decide for you? Oga grow some balls and take a decision.

I need to beat this OP. Please anybody give me his address ..
Beating is just sweating my hand this morning

eghuan1:
I don't care what people say about morality o, but if I see my girlfriend with tattoos or piercings, that's the end of the relationship.

One of the first questions I asked my ex when I first indicated my interest in her, was if she had a tattoo. She asked why, I told her I will just walk away.

You don't have to do it like that.
Know the person, get on in your relationship. The only question you always ask yourself everyday is, "can I live with this person for the rest of my life?"... The person will expose all their character to you.
Seeing or not seeing a tattoo is not that important. The character of the person is most important ..
It is the character of the person that made them do tattoo in the first place.
A good person may have made a mistake and done the tattoo and will be regretting. You have to forgive that one and continue
A foolish person will do the tattoo and will be happy without regrets. You will already know before even seeing the tattoo that this kind of person has tattoo.

Op, you have problem.
In fact I want to come and slap you.

Are you people not dating first before you marry? You behaving as it somebody bis pushing you to marry.
You just saw a girl and GBAM! Marriage full you head.

I’m leaving the zoo

Ok that's good. Better to leave than just be complaining up and down all over social media..

I was like that as well, some 20 years ago..
I got my big break to go to UK and do a Master's degree.
I followed Whiteman to live their life, eating bread and tea, wearing coat and tie.

The only thing I didn't like was how they don't believe in God at all. Talking anyhow, nothing is wrong for them. A immorality is correct. I wasn't feeling too confident and that affected my attitude. My attitude affected my job application. That in turn denied my a work permit. And so, I returned to this same gaddem Nigeria to come and still face the zoo.

I can't complain again O. The one I can do, I do it. The one I cannot do, I leave it.

I wish you the best in life.

Atouke:
Uyo is currently the best place to be in Nigeria, it is serene, it is clean, good road network and a city on the rise with a government that's responsive to the needs of the citizens within the limits of limited resources.

Is that so?
Are there jobs there? Not the one somebody will pack there now and end up broke, sleeping in that Christmas village on the floor.

globalresource:
Zoo

You are among us inside the zoo. So what do you plan to do?

Esejojo:
The difference is 7-Up.

Dubai police use Bugattis anf Ferrari cars. They don't need your money. What do you want to bribe somebody that is driving a car more expensive than your whole village? Is it N50?

So their police can enforce laws
Our own police cannot enforce laws. They will disown their duties for N50 only.

safarigirl:
It is disturbing that people are seeing her covering her nose, the lady is fixing her glasses, and her hand is just in front of the nose, because the nose and eyes are close.

She isn't covering her nose

Somebody messed somewhere abeg!

Openbusiness:
It's not a new thing. They've have been using this trick more than 15 years, that's how they stole Anthony Joshua's range rover

That's how cyber thieves stole my N20 billion from my account, and the Maybach limousine that I haven't bought yet.

Mynd44:
This is a problem for push to start vehicles.

Anything electronic is UNSAFE.
Bank account, Computer Data of any kind, simcards, every Electronic you own....
Everything electronic is unsafe. Somebody can hack it and you won't even be aware till it's all gone.

I hope this world can reset back to manual and analogue technology.

The terminals are still under construction! This is the testing phase

…
Did I say anything?
Hmm. See accusation O!

The first free ride (stuff) Nigerians snubbed!

Weston person dey find for Ibadan?
Gokada and maxkada wey go carry us comot traffic to our house, them con stop that one ...

1shortblackboy:
Always distracting petty thieves hile the mega thieves are celebrated and given chieftaincy titles

The people do not have enough education to understand how the mega thieves are swindling them. One needs to study a bit of politics, watch the news, then back up with social media to get the full picture of what is going on before one can conclude how and when the mega thieves are stealing

On the other hand, for the small thieves, you only have to be a witness or just hear a short statement: "I saw this guy stealing".

With our lack of education, we will never catch the big thieves. it's just not possible

Margy:
Atleast she's thinking agriculture!

10 pictures of the girl.
1 picture of the book...
which Agriculture are you talking about?

Officialgarri:
Historically, Buhari would have been the one to bow before the Chiefs and Kings.....

Each time I see Buhari, he gives me joy

That means the chiefs and kings are now useless
Just wearing cloth and doing nothing for anybody.

Yohh:
Gradually we could get there..
Though I honestly don't believe Nigeria has a bright future.

If you are in speeding car, and you can see that the car is going to hit a wall,...
,will you will be sitting and looking? Or will you do something?
Nigeria's future depends on all of us doing something.
Find out what to do and do it .

grandstar:
This is probably the first time I'm seeing a white albino. All I see is a beautiful.7 year old.

You know, white men are so smart.
They portray the fine Normal people in film. They send down the normal ones to Nigeria as expatriates/Embassy workers. Those are the ones you see and you think all of them must be normal like that.
Hmm they are same as us. K-leg, block head.... Your name it. Those ones are hiding there.

SultanOfPuna:
Imagine Your Ancestors
Chilling and enjoying Life and Living Longer
Then a White Man Comes and Sell Christianity to Them...

Just Like Adam and Eve were Chilling
Then the Serpent Comes and Give them
The forbidden fruit..

Adam and Eve were not given any forbidden fruit
The devil told Eve to take it. The devil, the deceiver, never touched the fruit himself. Eve used her hand to pick it from the tree. Man fell, due to pride which led to disobedience...

GoodMuyis:
This made me remember NOK culture the most advanced science of their age. While the then world is at stone age the People of NOK had already been using iron + clay to cast image

And the Europeans and British also cast iron very well, used it to make weapons and armour
and conquered everybody's land.
NOK should go and learn work.
Today now, it is EVERYTHING that Europeans make that we want to buy.
Cars are just casted metal parts which we still can't do in Nigeria.

mechanics:
There are ways to do transactions, if they disconnect the service, mobile app is available, so the bank has nothing to loose but I believe the banks should negotiate with the Telecom operators.

...mobile app? for only those who have smartphones and data inside.
What about all those guys who keep on losing their smartphones, or
those that can't be bothered using smart phones (wasting money on it and entering into the slavery of buying data everytime)
Or those that just don't know how to use smartphones and are very OK with simple phones?

empire2017:
I just wished the going to refund " we merchant" our money....
Just wishing ooo
God help us all

Abi?
Nobody will talk about the one they've already carried?

Good news. Local man wish all families and friendsr a Happy Thanksgiving holiday. Lots of love ❤❤

Which Thanksgiving holiday?

edoairways:
Then I pay cash instead of POS. CBN coming up with useless policy that can be circumvented

They collect N65 for withdrawing the cash from ATM.
Just keep all your salary under your mattress

bereto:
I don't think it's proper to do so

If I introduce myself to you as Mr J. Bruticus, you better call me exactly that. Mr J. Bruticus.

You are not the one that will change my name for me.

That's what Mr and Mrs is about. Claim your ground and stand firm. Not all this nameless directionless leaders and elders we have .
Today he is Jack, tomorrow Mr J....
Never steady. No roots.
