Nigeria urgently needs a SANE and SOUND leader!

Can you do it?

One day, I was in traffic, stop and go traffic.
Then...
GBAM!
I had smashed the car in front. See gbege!
How e take happen?
I had a short night, was sleepy, fell asleep...
And was dreaming that I was driving on THAT SAME road without traffic. Can you imagine? I never even knew I had fallen asleep because the dream started immediately. So I was still seeing road and my car steering wheel.
-
No escaping O. Thank God say I no kill person .
I gats to pay all the damages. I felt to bad. I never knew such could happen.
-
We normally feel over confident that we know everything. Untill we fall into a very sudden and terrible soup, we never expected..

Nigerian leadership is not beans. Even Britain ran away and dash us our independence. We never fought for that independence.

offset67:
kill it

What a brave man you are.
Once you are bigger than anything that is even defenceless, you kill it.
You won't go and look for lion to kill..

Patented:
If you can put it back in the nest. Looks like a weaver but I am not sure. U can feed it small seeds till it matures and can fly. That should take another 2 weeks or so max

No need to put it back in nest.
Its brothers and sisters were stronger and they flew away. The mum has found her level and will not come back to the nest again.
So basically only option is for OP to feed it as you said

IWillRiseAgain:
How? I should just drop it on the ground?

It can't even fly.

It's a baby.
It fell from the nest of a tree.
It isn't strong enough to fly yet.
You will have to feed it till it gets bigger and stronger. Then it will fly away..
If not, it is just going to die. Simple.

Pascals09:
It's taking too long

Do canoe and cross the water na!?
Ah, must you pass bridge?
This kind Nigerian youth sef. Everything complain!

stupidmod3:
d guy answered call in her presence, not behind @ back wat does that tell u.


u are really a kid

It tells me that he never told the spouse about this lady before in the bedroom. And the call came unexpected. He thought he could bluff his way through it. But the wife killed him out of jealousy..
-
My wife and I talk about all our colleagues to each other ahead of time, and tell each other their names. So that in the case such colleagues call, we would already know all about that person and never feel jealous of each other.
Now it is time for you to grow up and stop being a kid

Charles4000:
taking a risk of his life... for a country nobody cares about...

The day you want to run away from Nigeria, you will run and find Nigeria immigration, and look for Nigerian passport and use Nigerian money and Nigerian bank account to do all the runs.
You don't care about the country O, but it is this same country's resources you will use to pilot your runs

Queenslander:
Madness, he's playing with fire!!

All soldier that have died in this world were playing with water abi?
If he died now, can you wake him back up?
No.
Now that give didn't die, have you increased his salary?
No.

Tvoice:
This killing thing this year sha , haba , e no good na , today wife kill husband d other day husband kill wife because of suspicious SMS, na wa ooO

Consider well before going into a relationship.
If you are fearing, abeg, just live. Celibate life.

stupidmod3:
so if the opposite sex calls now is cheating? biko how old are u

Well you should tell your spouse about all your friends. Do not hide things from your spouse.
If you know you can't do that, then don't have any spouse. Don't marry. Simple..

Tedpgrass:
He's being made a scapegoat...


But don't do the crime if you can't do the time.


.

Which one is scapegoat again?
Police should not arrest thief again?

NaijaHelper1:
Sometimes you speak wisdom. Other times you're so full of shit. Making assumptions and concluding your argument based on your assumptions is nothing short of stupid.

It dont matter how entitled you feel the kiddo is, throwing him out of the house is absolute disrespect to her husband et family. Shouldn't have happened. There are several ways she could have handled the situation and still come out blameless.

Doesn't the guy want to marry in his life?
Is it that yeye quarrel-quarrel house that he will carry his wife to? Tomorrow we will hear fantastic story with nyash and breast fight.
Let him leave his married brother and wife in peace. Abi what is he still doing there?

Asadujames202:
I ain't walking away sir


My brother and his wife should also consider renting or building another house

Do you intend to carry your own wife and join in that house?
Then none of you, your brother, his wife and your wife will ever know peace.
He is married, you are single.
Leave the house for them. Go and rent or build your own. Strong head will never grant you peace.

A very bad one.
There's nothing funny about a Nigerian behaving absolutely mental.

Stephenomozzy:
Africa! The cradle of civilization.

I still nor understand how Africa fell o.


Meanwhile, People that built pyramids for "fun" dem no go get brewery for high spirits before ni

Most of technology began around north Africa, and Europe. Due to Christianity, people were moving around from one place to another to preach and spread the Gospel. At the same time, they were carrying information about technology. Ceaser did this, Nero did that. When you hear about the technology, you learn it fast and adapt. That's why all European countries seem to be at the same level of development.
As for Africa, Egypt is where all the ghen-ghen started, far back even before Christianity. Pharaoh and Ramses and their pyramids and chariots..
But look at this map of Africa, Egypt is at the top, Nigeria is at the bottom of West Africa. There is a mighty Sahara Desert in between.
Without any vehicle, food or water, it does not make any sense for any technologically advanced Egyptian to cross the terrible desert and come down to Nigeria to preach or teach anybody anything. They cannot cross to Congo due to heavy thick forest and they can't get to South Africa due to more forest and Kalahari desert.
We that are living here are the descendants of our ancestors that managed to cross down to this area. They didn't have anything. No idea of technology and had to start everything from scratch.
Our Ancestors may have been here since the time of Moses. But they were disconnected from everything, just living inside bush hunting one antelope to eat. No city, no house. and very few. There was an ancient Mali civilization, but that one died off due to no access to European technology. Europeans that got there, just destroyed the place and the people could not compete with them and fight back. They were just villagers.
You know the level that we were operating at in our villages whilst the Europeans had already advanced seriously,
THEN,....
The Europeans used SHIPS and sailed along the water OUTSIDE Africa, to come here and colonise us and Educate us on all the "latest" technology.
That is what happened.
That is why Africa seems to be always backwards all over the continent.

fuckingAyaya:
let the world go blind

You, first.
Be blind and leave others alone.

lagusboyyy:
It's an imported breed.

Just like how we have broilers, foreign breeds of dogs in the country.

So everything in Nigeria is imported.
Ordinary to eat meat, whiteman must chook hand again into our business.
I'm sure the grass is also imported. And the water and the building and the sand and the oxygen...

dvkot:
This is how cattle rearing is supposed to be

But you must provide the grass and water O.
And nutritious grass O.

MufasaLion:
UK is not useless. If you look at your write ups you'll see that those people might have made mistakes by the route they used in entering UK.

Don't just judge anyhow.

How did the professor ( Being a professor doesn't mean you're rich, especially I Nigeria. Professor is a title anyways) get UK?. How did that your cousin get to UK?. What route did they use?.

The thing y'all don't want to accept is that the Visa type you have will determine the things you can do there. What was tour cousin doing before leaving Nigeria?. What was his level of education? Whst type of Visa did he use to enter the UK?. I'm sure the professor didn't have any plans before leaving. And if he did, did he think UK will just give him employment like that?. I'm sure he didn't enter with a visa that can secure him an employment.

Most people will start painting some countries bad for their own self-caused misfortune.

PEOPLE ARE DOING EXCELLENTLY WELL IN THE UK WITH THE RIGHT ROUTE

Well I went as a student. Many of the people I met went as students. (except the professor of course)
The law stated that as students we were entitled to work for 1 year after graduation and our employer could grant us work permits to extend or permanent our stay in the country.
We were doing different part time student jobs.
Some were secretly doing overtime to get more money, but their studies will suffer.
When we applied for full time (proper qualified jobs), they told us that yes, we were qualified, even better than their citizens.
All good!
BUT....
Because we weren't permanent residents, they won't give us the jobs. We asked them to first give us the jobs and the employer could give us the work permit to apply for the permanent residency.
And that is how it went back and forth till time ran out.
-
So the Nigerians that I know that are still there.
1. They forged papers to apply for permanent residency.
2. They had a hoax marriage with a British person and divorced them just to get residency papers
3. They allowed the papers expire and hid from the law and after 14 years of hiding, they applied for residency.
4. They travelled over to the UK in the 60s, 70s, 80s, when residency was easier.
-
These are the Nigerians I met there. Everyone tried to keep their secret as they were afraid of being caught.
Maybe there are other methods used now, but these are the most common methods I experienced there.

MufasaLion:
You can't judge based on only the people you've met. But I still doubt that professor you talked about.

You want pictures? You know I will be damaging his privacy in doing so.
He used to be in Uniport, Chemical Engineering. There was a foreign sponsored project. And he was coordinating the affairs.
But some Nigerian people chop the money of the project.
That's what made him furious. And he just packed all his belongings and ran to UK.
-
The way it works is, if you have a job here in Nigeria and run overseas, you will suffer and wash plate.
If you were jobless here already in Nigeria and manage to go overseas, anything is better than nothing.
I have a cousin there doing security guard. He was jobless and hopeless here in Nigeria.
He did "one thing" with oyibo people that gave him papers, so he can stay there now. But he's never going to be anything more than security guard in that country.
UK is useless. Maybe other countries are better. But UK is the worst.
I met many other Black people from other countries not only Nigerians. Some Uganda, Ghanaian, South Africa, Kenya, Jamaica and Caribbean.
But it is the Nigerians I asked very well.

willyo:
Is that why virtually all Nigerians holding positions of authority abuse them? I still can't put together the correlation between what I said and urs

Yes, that is why. You are correct.
This nation is best ruled by someone who either has no tribe here, (a foreigner), or a native indigene that will turn himself into a foreigner, forgetting about his tribe.
The current ruling class are unable to do this. Hence they always favour their tribe over others, to the annoyance of the rest of Nigerians.
More on this topic here.

This guy was my classmate in secondary school.
I guess you know him. Judo Champion of Nigeria. (Nobody could beat him in boarding house then).
More than half of my class ran overseas and married white women. They were raised by their parents to give up on Nigeria, because they can't handle the stress of being Nigerians.

hermesprogidy:
Someone nudged someone and a few days later 11 people are dead and 5,000 more homeless. Someone please explain to me how human beings are superior to other animals?

You live in a unique country with many tribes.
None of the indigenes ever agreed to form the nation.
They were forced together under colonialism. They didn't even fight for independence.
The system of rulership was just handed down to a few politicians and the rest of the people cannot agree on anything.
Should we continue with the synthetic nation, or should we return to how we were before colonialism.
It is a landmine that can easily explode. So tread carefully. Do not anger anyone
Rwanda has just 2 tribes. Hutu and Tutsi.
The Belgian colonist always showed favouritism to one tribe over the other because that tribe have long nose, fine face ..
while the other tribe have flat head and big ogo.
As a result, both tribes realised what was going on and that lead to the 1995 genocide.
1,000,000 (one million) of them killed each other just because of this. (Ehe? You think say you fine pass me)
Babies were abandoned among dead bodies of their parents.
Today, those babies are 25+ years old. They form the majority of the population.
A population of 25year olds, no father, no mother. No relatives.
They don't have elders again and they don't know their village or tribe.
Everybody just speaks English. Tribe and language is not discussed in that country.
And that is how the country is now doing well.

Give an average Nigerian a position and see how abusive he/she is. Indescribable set of people

Always cool down and know your people first. What is a Nigerian?
I was overseas at a time, working and a fellow colleague in the office was trying to know me better.
He was an Indian guy. So he asked me, "Can you speak Nigerian for me to learn?".
I laughed and told him there is nothing called "Nigerian".
In his mind he thought that as:
Italians speak Italian,
Germans speak German
Swedish speak Swedish
Chinese speak Chinese
Japanese speak Japanese
Koreans speak Korean.....
English speak English
....
... surely Nigerians should speak "Nigerian" .... abi?
-
But it isn't so. There over 250 ethnic groups here each dressing and speaking their language.
But to create a country, and external language, English, was forced upon us.
Not everybody likes that and as a result, confusion is the bedrock of this nation.

Why bro

Funny thing, I lived there far back 2005... Minding my business doing good boy.
As time went on, I met other Nigerians.
Fear begin catch me when I asked them what they were before back home in Nigeria and what they are "now" in UK.
One madam was a manager in Zenith bank in Nigeria
In UK, she dey answer phone call for call centre dey find better job.
One guy was a manager in some bank in naija .
For UK, he dey do low skill labour, dey follow Gregg's to bake bread. They couldn't understand his thick Igbo accent. So they just used to do sign language for him. Ol boy, suffer there. Na the day he wan pack sell all him plate and carton, come back Naija, na that day i meet am.

Na church deacon work him find. Professor certificate inside dustbin.

Can you imagine his lawyer pleading and citing "his age and STATUS!". Seriously? Status with other people's sweat and money?
His KICC pastor said "he is quiet...." did he not see him flaunting stolen wealth online? I don't get these pastors

They are the ones supporting the criminal followers..

Exactly.
Especially as she may never have experienced such excitement before, as all her days are boring and depressing.
