I think simply put a BMW is built to be driven just like a Bentley while a Mercedes-Benz is built to be driven in just like a Rolls Royce. It all depends on what you want.

You are absolutely jobless!!!

Wicked! Jungle is massive!!!

Nigerians are very funny sha.

When Emmanuel M. Of France became president couple of weeks back, we were calling for youths to be involved in politics and aspire to hold such positions in Nigeria.

Now , this one has showed interest in becoming a Governor, maybe just to know what the electorates will think of this and many will criticize and discourage him.

Some even said his father has not even aimed for such implying he shouldn't have.

Yes, this is Nigeria. Our politics could be bloody but c'mon let's show some support to a youth leader.

Emmanuel Macron didn't come out of the blues to contest, he was a Minister in Francois Hollande's cabinet. James Cameron was an MP in his early twenties.
Desmond Elliot did the right thing by starting from the House of Assembly. No one is against young men running for political office but you don't just come out from the blues and say you are running for Governor. You should at least have some experience.

That would most likely be the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion.

Bros when you drive under the bridge after Churchgate building in Central Area, the see through building on your right where you can clearly see Range Rovers for sale is CHOSCHARIS.

Maybe if his dad had done what he's done he won't be where he is. But then who the heck am I to judge!

My friend you stole this article from the BBC and you didn't even give them any credit. Abeg stop this theiving nonsense.

tonididdy:
you dont get it; do you?
describe the country in one sentence...we all know Nigeria is a sad story. facts or no facts

Deal with the facts not sentiments, that's one sure way to get ahead in life. Besides the fact that I deciphered the obvious fallacy of the article at first glance when it seems you still haven't should tell you that I get it a lot more than you can ever imagine. You guys spew lies just to attract attention and you think everyone one is so dumb that we won't notice??!!! I blame nairaland sha.

Don't mind the dunce. Russia, Norway and even Saudi Arabia that have oil, are they cursed? We know how to talk without thinking in this country

The guy is not a dunce bros. The curse of oil has a name and it's called the "Dutch disease. Norway was already an industrialised country before oil was discovered in the North sea, ditto Britain. The US was also firmly on its way to industrialisation before oil. The common thing with these countries was that their prosperity would have happened with or without oil. The case is diffrerent for those countries who prospered because of oil. Saudi Arabia's youth unemployment rate is close to 30%, Venezuela which has the world's largest oil reserves if you include its heavy oil is currently a basket case where chronic food shortages are rife. And please don't mention Quatar, UAE, Kuwait or Bahrain whose collective population is not up to that of Alimosho Local Govt. Libya is at war so also is Iraq. Oil makes a country's citizens lazy and unnecessarily combative. That's why it is usually called a curse.

Please in this age of blatant lies and fake news on the internet let's not be too quick to believe what we see on the internet. Always do some research before you post an article so you don't lead others astray.
No airline in the world currently flies to more than 300 destinations not to talk of 1500. Even United Airlines with over 1300 aircrafts in its fleet does not fly to up to 300 locations. Bare in mind that Nigerian Airways never had up to 40 aircrafts in its fleet.
Secondly as at 1973 two US Dollars were equal to one naira. No company in history has ever made up to $100bn profit. The article is a fallacy, please don't believe it.

"Chinese shoe magnet", still can't stop laughing. Abeg my brother it's "Shoe Magnate".

Typical black man. He kills and eats everything that moves that's why he remains at the same spot.

So where's the copy of the letter as acknowledged by the Office of the Vice President. You really should be arrested so others like you would learn a valuable lesson.

You for dey chop sand now. Rubbish.

The office of the President of Nigeria is not for village clowns or jesters, it's actually for serious people.

If I recall correctly this guy lives in Lagos. We. can't really be this dumb.

N36 million for a Chinese vehicle. Mmm, that's interesting.

It's also irresponsible for married women to gossip at every opportunity they have but then that's life.

Igbo kwenu...

We are indeed developers of Lagos, Abuja, PH and beyond, Igbo kwenu,

Umuigbo Kwezuenu

Every tribalist is certainly an uneducated fool and time and circumstance has always proved this to be correct.

It's actually a moth not a butterfly. The main difference between both species is that moths are quite sturdier than butterflies.

Zaitoon:
There is no hierarchy in Islam. Our prayers break down all the human-made barriers. Everyone is equal in front of Allah. Whether they are black or white, rich or poor, presidents or janitors, we all come together and stand shoulder to shoulder while praying. It is a proof of true equality, solid unity and universal brotherhood and sisterhood.

Allah says in the Qur’an: "O humankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honored of you in Allah’s sight is the greatest of you in piety. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware." (49:13)

You say there's no hierarchy in Islam yet every Emir and almost every leader with any real authority in the Muslim North outside Kanuriland is Fulani even though the Hausas are in the majority. If only we would tell ourselves the truth in this part of the world our lives would be a lot better.

No worry na since you've given them the green light they will soon come for you.

Only a fool will think that a man who is a British citizen who will be airlifted by the Royal Marines once the "shit hits the fan" is fighting for the Igbo nation.

But then it appears that Nigeria is largely populated by dimwits.

When you get to that bridge you will realise that politics and political activism are two entirely different ball games.

Because he spoke the truth?! Why on Earth is the North doing this to itself??!!!

Hope we will all be ready to apoligize to him when he says that the " other man's wife" is his mother.

The fool speaks again.

EWAagoyin:
Lies.... Im currently in katsina.. What happened was that corpers lodge located at "sabo layi"was robbed last night by bandits... Must we bring religion and tribal sentiments on every issues in this country... Nawa o

I wonder where these bloggers who peddle lies to promote ethnic and religious hatred think they will run to when the result of their lies (ethnic and religious wars) begin to manifest.
The Government really needs to start making arrests before we are consumed by such falsehood

A lot of wives out there would go to any length for their families no matter how disheartening such actions might be. Have a sincere and non-judgmental talk with her to ascertain the real reasons for her actions.

The great Irish Reverend Shanahan who is credited with spreading Roman Catholicism in Nigeria was based in Onitsha that partly explains why you have much more Igbos than Yorubas in the Catholic Church.

I guess the same also goes for the Anglican Church where Bishop Ajayi Crowther held sway. That's why the majority of Yorubas were Anglicans before the coming of Pentecostalism

Are you kidding me! Where you born yesterday? There were practically no camera phones in the early to mid 2000s so anyone who used a phone back then knows what it is like using a phone without a camera.
