Shut Up too, there is never a reason to commit crime or do evil.

Jeremiah 17 v 11 - "As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool."

So because Nigeria is a failed state, you want them to run faster than their shadows? and to you going into Yahoo Yahoo will preserve a future for your unborn children?

Egbon better repent and Remember God visits the iniquities of the fathers into the bosom of their children, and upon the children's children unto the third and fourth generation. Exodus 34 v 7

The first crime of modern generation is software piracy.
Using American made software for free here in Nigeria, be it MS Word, Excel, AutoCAD... These are like the cheapst.
They cost in the range from $200 to $1000.
You are expected to pay $200 for one DVD, to install the software one just ONE PC.
So if your office has 4, 5, 10 computers, you should pay $200 x 5 =$1000 for MS word/Excel.
Nigerian Economy is import dependent. That is why we don't have N1 = $1. and our money is of less value.
$1 roughly N500.
We that are already suffering and struggling should still carry N500,000 and give American people again because we want to use MSWord?
Swear now, that you have not patronised pirated software on your PC, in your office or in a business centre.
Those who are going into science and Engineering, who don't even have jobs to see, are supposed to pay $2000 - $5000 for various scientific and engineering software to do their work FOR JUST ONE PC?
How much does a Nigerian company even make? Are they not all even closing down because of no money? Then we should still carry our last remaining money and give American people again to use their softwares?
Sorry, It cannot work..

samonak:
At no point in time did NAF possess harriers in it's inventory, we have Alpha Jets which has a similar appearance with Harriers. We have procured, Jaguar seepcats, Mig - 21 ( most of which have been decommissioned) F-7s, J -17 Thunder and super Tucanos which have been recently purchased.

Na wa O. So our money no even reach for original plane.
The Alpha jet even looks so much smaller than harrier jet.

Meritocracy:
That's what we get in thickly corrupt nation, we all think of looting first in every procurement or any project. The funny part is no hidden area for shortchanging refurbished airplane for new after budgeting and spending billion dollar on arm procurement. I only pity that it's not those buying it loosing their life but innocent officers.

This generation has to stand firm and make changes O.
The western world has made sure that we always buy their products.
They keep producing things in their factories and pumping out to the world. We just sit down and buy.
Then born 27 pikins who have no work.
Instead of us to build our own industries, create things, produce, EMPLOY our own youth, and pump out to the rest of the world,
we folded our hands and allowed all kinds of imported stuff to block our stomach.
Now, no movement. No work, just PLENTY-PLENTY people running up and down everyday trying to survive by piracy, kidnapping, stealing. Where are the jobs na?
Nigeria has 33% unemployment rate. ie. NO work AT-ALL-AT-ALL people.
Among the remaining 67% that have work, maybe only 10% are comfortable. The rest are doing runs because the salary no reach them.
South Africa has 43% unemployment rate. No work. Nothing.
Na im make, them just vex and burn their whole country down.
Oyibo cannot be doing us 419 everywhere.
Only their products is good to sell to the world.
Our own products is not good to export and sell to the world.
You be measuring our products as sub-standard, because it does not meet international levels?
International standard that was set by YOU that have 24/7 Nepa?
We that are hustling up and down to buy fuel for generator, you didn't consider that one? You just say our product is substandard.
Let me slap one white person this evening.
Nonsense.

Used to have a toy of this jet as a kid. it's a Harrier jet.
We put 2 "B" Batteries inside and it would craw about the place shining red light.
It had a plastic foot under to raise and lower the plane.

Nigeria still using this old plane. It's not very fast by modern standards as the Engine is small.
It is capable of vertical take off and landing. The engine has to be small so it can accommodate the exhaust thrusters twisting mechanism that enables the vertical take off and landing. Hence the plane is slow due to the small engine.

stupidmod3:
with 40k u can survive.

if u married n ur partner us working, yes
if u married n ur partner isnt working, no
single yes

u like flexing alot, then no.
u dey show off? then no
u stingy? fuk yh

ur rent nah less than 300k then yh with d options of d above

I think in these years, all of us are poor. Because we can't afford what our parents could in the past.
And they earned their own without stress. Not all this our up and down hustling 24/7

grossintel:
For me, it's 300k starting. Naira is not doing well at all.

My dad bought a brand new Peugeot 504 in 1977 for N5,000. (Five thousand Naira). I don't know what he earned then. But lets say he managed to save small-small till he bought it and paid complete, once. So let's say he earned N800 (eight hundred) per month.
So he lived well on N800 per month in 1977.
And in 2021, the correct standard car to buy will be Brand new Toyota Corolla (since Peugeot 504 is no longer in production)
And you are saying N300,000 per month in 2021.
Draw the graph and join the line. The N300,000 would be useless by December 2021.

babyfaceafrica:
Avoid single mothers if you are single .. He get why

Only you have spoken correctly in this thread.
=-----
Marriage is "till death do us part".
One has NO BUSINESS with another man's wife TILL that man is DEAD.
The husband is NOT DEAD. LEAVE his wife for him. Whether he is lazy or not, is not your business.

HenryDion:
Typical of most Nigerian writers.... Smh

I think we should just stop comparing ourselves with foreign writers and stop shaking your head.
Foreign common man can quietly sit down in a train, write a book.
He can do deeper research and come out with a unique story.
.. I said common man, not rich man. Ordinary salary man. Common.....
One can sit down in any park and write, research, read. You don't pay money for anything and no begger will come and be worrying you or steal your stuff.
There's no noise on the train, or park, no agbero disturbing, no prayer warrior shouting and disturbing everybody.
You cannot expect same level of output from Nigerian writers who are totally disturbed 24/7 with all kinds of noises.
Nigerian writers are just managing to put something down despite all the disadvantages. So don't blame them.

BigCabal:
The Naira (₦) is the official currency of Nigeria, but did you know that Nigerians didn’t start using Naira until 13 years after independence

In fact, we interviewed someone who left Nigeria in 1979 with ₦700, and got it changed to $1000 when he got to the US. His flight to the US cost 280 NGN.

How did we get here?

Source: https://www.zikoko.com/money/5-things-to-know-about-the-history-of-money-in-nigeria/

We got here by importing all kinds of things without manufacturing anything.
China chose to manufacture instead of importing.

I shall pass it on to Oyibo people..
They have been looking for how to report Yahoo boys scamming their lives since.

Fahdiga:
In my next life I must be a white

So this one you are living now, you chose your colour?

NaijaCuzin:
They r mostly 21
Horrible

Pray for this new generation. They already have too much and cannot see future again..
In our time, we only had 5 channels non TV. We never knew of cable or satellite TV, no video CD, DVD, or Blue Ray player. America was a far place we only heard about and saw a few pictures when NEPA gave is light to watch the right film at the right time on TV.
Today's generation just be behaving anyhow as they don't have ambition again. Once they buy phone, that's the end! Their head will turn upsidedown and they be forming and dancing everywhere. This guy dance and formed to his death.

ignis:
I gain a lot.

Ok, let's see your account balance so we can calculate what you gained this year.

ignis:
And when one calls Nigeria a Zoo, it will be termed Hate Speech.

And what do you gain by this statement?

Idamond:
that's normal in Nigeria school

When people be rushing to school like flies following sh1t up and down.
As people don't have business ideas or entrepreneurship mind, you enter school for slaving and receive anyhow disrespect from lectures.

Shey you guys want jobs, that's why you attend polytechnic?
Consider this as stage 1 punishment .
Stage 2 is waiting for you after graduation.

Pierocash:
The crime rate in South Africa is higher than Nigeria. But that is the hidden truth the media won't tell you

So you know, and Nigerians will still be travelling there.

DubaiLandLord:
Okada riders should stop plying the highways jare. Make them they operate inside areas.

Are they the ones that ply highways by themselves?
Is it not you and other commuters that resort to using Okadas to ply highways because the traffic jam on the roads is too much?

See yeye creativity

The truth is the bandits are state sponsored

How will people without training and handling of gun be a menace to our security agencies?

This is an old idea. Westerners used it during WWII to aid with spying.

Stephen2324:
“I need some space “,What does this mean in a relationship?

The person is tired of calculating mathematics of how to behave in your presence every time.
So give chance let them normalise their thinking and decide if they want to continue with you or not.
The person actually has a big headache any time they are in your presence and wants you out for a while so they can see how to treat the headache..

Albertone:
Where people dey see money to travel out?
I thought we all said no money in this Buhari Administration!
Oja ti paro funmi
I love the seas

That's how we like to lie in this Nigeria. You will follow somebody to cry and lament,
not knowing, the person has millions in the bank.
Tomorrow, he will tell you , "bye-bye" and leave you behind in Nigeria.

Prechboy:
you should have just said the reason without adding the confusion part. Nobody is causing any confusion old man. I spoke on what I noticed and I asked a question.

Thanks for the early morning insult (Old man).
Continue the rest of your day insulting till it comes back to you.

Prechboy:
Why do Nigerians always leave the ground floor when counting the story of a building, this is a 3 story building. Not 2

We count using the British method.
American method is to count everything, starting with 1 as ground floor

.
As for me, English is the native language of English people in UK. So I will speak English according to their rules.
Choose your way and don't create confusion for the construction industry.

ChizzyBuna:
Only mature response
No jokes this is serious matter

Marry the coursemate by mistake!!!!!

People that can't keep prick in one place!

Na for night, I dey waka my own.

GOFRONT:
Hmm..... Will indomie generation know Samanja??


Just asking for a friend.

NTA has crashed. They don't even bring back any old series.
Probably, we need some private TV stations to rebroadcast old programs.
In UK, they have a TV station called "Dave". It's specifically meant to show old programs and keep the elderly happy.

It is surely possible to do it. Just apply.
But to get the roles is where the wahala is.

dingbang:
I am scared once i get married, my wife will abandon me and focus all her attention to the baby

It's a normal tendency.
But if you have formed a proper relationship with your wife during courtship and have known her character, then you will realise that she will surely come back to you after giving baby attention.
-
It requires maturity of the both of you.

Sologzy:
Are charms bad?. It's there belief so what's the big deal,

Whenever have the words "charms" and "good" been used in the same sentence?

donmixc:
