I understand why people say society gets the leaders they deserve.

Most of those people will go home and complain about having a useless government, which is indeed correct, because if we had an honest, diligent, God fearing government, MOST OF THEM WOULD BE IN JAIL!

So they choose to vote those that will support their lawless and corrupt lifestyle.

Most people don’t really want Nigeria to get better it would seem.

How can I effect change? How can those of us that want a better Nigeria effect change?

Can I do it alone?

Should I have parked my car at the intersection and caused a scene, preaching to everyone some of the most basics of ethics, like stopping at a traffic light?

What could I have done? Just ignore and say “This is Nigeria”?

I am still so sad from that event. The thought that everyone will just disregard the law at will here but travel to nearby Dubai and be obeying all their laws, even trembling.

Why do most of you hate your country so much that you think it doesn’t deserve better? Doesn’t deserve law and order?

Even if the police is useless, decency would dictate that only a few people would run that light, but for EVERYONE TO RUN IT except two of us, I mean haba! Haba!

Then the way they abuse you for following the law, stopping at the light. The way they abuse you when they almost hit your car because THEY DID NOT STOP FOR THEIR RED LIGHT!

What sort of rubbish is this?

Or do I turn suicide bomber and take out as many dumb people as I can?

Will society change then when news headlines read “Suicide bomber takes out traffic offenders”?

God forbid!!

God please change our hearts and bring upon great leaders to your people!

Not even one out of the maybe 50 law breakers was pulled over by police, but go to a residential place and you will see up to 20 police men randomly stopping new range rovers and Benz that have done nothing wrong.

God in heaven, please I can’t deal, please! This is not how a decent society operates my King. You are justice and order, but our people choose chaos everyday.

This morning at about 9am, I was stopped at a traffic light off Awolowo road Ikoyi - Lagos, waiting to turn into Awolow road.

It was just me and surprisingly, a danfo that stopped. EVERY OTHER CAR, JUST RAN THE LIGHT!

When my light now turned green, the cars on Awolowo road would not stop for their own red light. They all kept speeding like there was no RED light in front of them. Some abusing you while some looking at you like, they don’t understand why you are angry at them for almost killing you by running the red light.

So out of about 30-50 cars that I saw at that intersection, only 2 cars obeyed the traffic light law.

I almost shed tears, like why are we even like this?

Where is the police?

So many questions, holding back tears for a people that just love to do the wrong thing.

Have we now gotten to a point were the majority of Nigerians are lawless?

Where you have to search under a rock to find one person that obeys the law?

I am sad honestly, how could all of them be so wicked and lawless? Someone please explain it to me.

Upworkwriter007:
Tinubu morning and night. I think they should just change nairaland's name to Tinubu propaganda site.

I am fighting the same way I fought against Buhari and against MMM.

I live in Nigeria, so I must fight against the people that will make the country worse.

and they will tell you he created Lagos, abi he created the chaos in Lagos?

Just look at how cars were lining up orderly in their lanes.

No agbero driving in between lanes to come bash your car.

Now in Today’s Lagos, even the educated are agberos, they would not stay in their lane, the doctors the engineers, the teachers, all agberos.

How does a society start out so good then becomes sooooo bad?

People just turn the streets in front of houses to mini markets, suya joints, food market, pepper, tomatoes...

Unless it’s a gated estate, it seems like Nigerians in Lagos just start selling anywhere.

Most of the streets in Lagos are an eyesore because of this, not to even mention the bad roads.

....


When you pay close attention, you can see the poverty and chaos of Lagos and Nigeria as a whole:-

Refuge heap next to a mansion

Open and vile gutters everywhere, the nastiest images you’d ever want to see while walking

Naked people bathing in broad daylight

Idle people just sitting by the road

....

Then back to the MARKETS, markets markets markets.

How can people just go to almost any area and start selling whatever?

What will it cost us to have Order in Nigeria? In Lagos? Or are we really really saying that we are animals, that this is a jungle? That we as blacks can never be organized?

You pray to your God, but isn’t God a God of ORDER! Even the universe in its chaos is still ordered, the earth is ordered into day and night, gravity is a constant, etc

I challenge any one of us who ever gets to government to promote order! I challenge current government to promote order.

You want to go to Dubai because or ORDER and LAW, but back home you just say “This is Nigeria”. What does that even mean.

So because this is Nigeria we have resigned to chaos? and you are fine with that?

Not me, no! I will never be fine with the chaos and I pray that you reading this will never be fine with it either.

But you people will still support Tinubu and Atiku ba?

Bunch of jokers.

You should even be happy that there is a plane that is taking you somewhere and you are not flying with brooms.

Why are they even complaining?

Isn’t this the natural state of the black man? Voting for the blackest of blacks, blacks hearts, black minds, so why all the fuss over a black or dark room, since you will all still vote for darkness again and again and again.

See the likes of Seunmsg ready to sacrifice his children for Tinubu, black souls.

If you want to reply me, first message my black assistant below.

“Who is subsidizing who?”

He was clueless right from the start. He didn’t even know there was subsidy. Him, Tinubu and others were telling Nigerians that there was no subsidy, bunch of liars.

OneCandleAway:
This preacher is spitting FACTS.

There is something wrong with the black man. We produce nothing unlike the whites, we find it hard to copy what the whites produced like the Asians did till their technology evolved. This preacher is telling the truth without sugercoating.

All black leaders should be locked up in a room and this video played for them repeatedly till it enters their skull.

Will they learn? Their hearts are so hardened already?

Most of them should be jailed for life!

then the people, the masses, are just something else entirely. They never get tired of supporting the wrong people.

I will never ever forget how Nigerians fought me over MMM. I could not understand how a large amount of people would dive in headlong into a scam that had already been exposed in Russia or wherever.

Just a simple google search would have told them that it’s a scam, but they all marched like zombies into fire.

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

I have seen this video before and I almost cried.

Black people cant build anything, no good nations not even good cities.

Just like when you condemn bad leaders like Tinubu and Atiku here and beg people to vote for like Harvard grads or something to at least have a chance, they will just abuse and abuse you.

It’s so sad! I don’t understand how we reason at times. Even with so much hardship, people are ready to fight and die for a corrupt politician that will bring even more hardship, then they will laugh at you, telling you that your wailing has just begun.

Why should you be happy that people are wailing for legitimate reasons? It’s not like people are wailing over fake news or something, then you are happy when you prove them wrong, no! Instead the wailing is for real things, like lack of water and electricity, yet the black man sees nothing wrong with not having water or “light”.

I’m so sad for Nigeria as an entity

OyeofIkoTuN:
That loan is false. Audio loan. I repeat that road can be constructed with Lagos state Tax payers money without any loan. Argue with me on that.

Maybe the materials used were imported from outta space, that’s why.

Even if they can’t afford it, is it a life long payment that we are to expect?

Why won’t they open their books or come out to tell us how much is owed and how much has been made so far.

If they were making about 20 million naira per day, then in a month that would be about 600 million naira. In a year, that would be about 7.2 BILLION NAIRA.

How much was then used to construct the road?

Isn’t a toll road supposed to be used to avoid traffic? Why would people be forced to pay for a road and then experience one of the most horrendous traffic jams in Lagos?

Are Lekki people the only ones in Lagos that should be paying toll?

What about Ikeja? Surulere? Yaba? Ikorodu?...

In America, they toll highways that provide a shorter distance to your destination. So in Houston Texas for instance, the George Bush highway may be rolled, but they have alternative highways.

Please let that sink in...

ALTERNATIVE HIGHWAYSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

So you still have free highways with 3 or more lanes should you decide to bypass a toll.

The time is 7:41a.m now and the traffic on the road is already building, yet you want these same people to suffer tolling?

These politicians are so corrupt in Nigeria, and when you speak up or protest, you are shouted down or chased away by thugs and zombie police officers.

Look at the traffic already, and it only gets worse, much much worse.

The most annoying part of this whole thing is having Lagosians that live on the mainland supporting the toll, because it doesn’t affect them, very selfish people.

Ask them to support rolling on their street and they will start giving excuses.

fkj950ax:
The police is overwhelmed

You say the police is overwhelmed?

Joke of the century.

Come to VI, you will see up to 10 police officers STANDING ON THE ROAD, in a residential area, stopping random Benz and Range Rover.

Does that sound like an overwhelmed police to you?

You Nigerians are always lying to yourselves. It’s soo annoying.

See overwhelmed police

This guy has bastardized the position of president.

I once told people that even if a tsunami wipes out a huge chunk of Nigeria, Buhari would remain silent, because according to Femi Adesina, it is not his style to talk to his people.

Everyday, I keep confirming how unintelligent the majority of Nigerians are. That you will go to the past and bring out a coup plotter to be your president.

Just look at the IQ chart below and maybe you might understand why Nigerians thought it would be a good idea to employ a former dictator as a democratic president.

obiekunie01:
This country will never work no matter how hard we try.

THE HATRED IS TOO DEEP TO BE BRIDGED.

Very deep!

Tribes are even willing to suffer by voting bad leadership from their tribes, just to spite others. Almost like the actions of a suicide bomber!

This country should definitely be split, but you know how the majority can’t reason clearly, so they will shout that we must defend the British establishment.

A nation that is filled with wicked and daft people, soo soo daft, it’s not even funny.

Sunnymatey:
Nigeria is gone except a more determine and serious fella step in to the rescue, the likes of Tinubu, Atiku et al have nothing different to offer this country.

They have there for so long with no good antecedent

We need a more determined and purposeful, dugged leader that will empathize with the citizens.

Tell them! Tell them!

Nigerians can be so daft ehn, what a people!

I mean, seriously, they embody all the negative stereotypes of the black race.

How do you reason with someone who is ready to swim in gutter for Buhari? Or trek for Tinubu? Or whatever for Atiku?

Damn! What a people!

The heart of man is wicked!

shotovoce:
Nigerians don’t have Foresight, and it’s not our fault, it has always been like that, our Ancestors didn’t do better, we’re only exhibiting the traits we inherited but how long will this go in, all we do is complain.
Nigerians are not ready!

Not ready at all, and it hurts.

What fuels a people to always want the worst for their country? I just don’t understand.

People are launching rockets, battery cars, etc, but here we can’t even get electricity.

It hurts bro!

They know that all these thieves like Tinubu and Atiku won’t do shhhh yet they will still be shouting their names, it’s so sad.

What a sad group of people.

Gentlelife50:
This man you wan start to dey complain again?
Don't tell me you prefer to goan be selling gala under hot sun, better goan work hard.

Or you give out your car on rental that's progression we are talking about, lazy man that want to be spoon fed.


You can as a well join the group so they tutor you on how to be making 1 million every month easily, BAZOO1 was a member of the group sef.

Hahahaha, bruuuuh!

It ain’t easy yo!

Today, I got a request and parked next to this girls gate, she then came out and hissed and condescendingly told me to come and park in front of the gate (5 meters away), then eyed me up and down.

All this and trip never even start oooo, oh my God in heaven! Like as if I was her enemy in her past life.

How am I supposed to now carry that kind person

They say drop your ego, no pride, yen yen yen, but na wa ooo. Remain small rider will ask you to kiss the ring before they enter your car.

I just zoomed off, driver score be damned!!

Uche should come and drive on bolt for one week, he will understand why Peru don dey Para!

After he gets request in chevron traffic on the other side, then turns around after battling traffic and rider cancels, then he will now have to go back to the beginning of the traffic again, chai!

Johnchrix:
This got me cracking and as well made me remember a bolt driver I met at Italian school Lekki phase one were our bolt driver's relax by noon, he was like he's getting exhausted and that what gives him money now is bet9ja, bolt gives him money for bet9ja. Another driver same location said' he's looking for a buyer for his Toyota Corolla. Bolt is so heartless, my advice to fellow comrades is to try and have other sources of income. Use the proceeds to go to school if you are not educated, or venture into a business, although business success is usually through strength of mind honesty and perseverance and not necessarily by uptaining Harvard or Oxford certificates.

They are heartless bro, real talk!

I really need to go dust off my other skills cause I had almost abandoned them, but it’s not worth it. I will definitely persevere by Gods grace in learning new skills, cause sometimes, you reach a point while learning new stuff that it all seems soo complex.

Maybe if I haven’t been blocked in the near future, I will do this on the side for money for chin chin or something.

One month I grossed 110k, and when I did the math, my take home was like under 50k. Sometimes I try to close my eyes to the math and just drive, but the math doesn’t lie, after you remove 25.6% commission and petrol.


As they say, “Men lie, Women lie, Numbers don’t.”

ncnerio:
Bolt is just being clever by half. When you guys do advert of 100 thousand weekly and pay your yearly rent in One month you do total calculation of the whole gross. Intentionally being clever by half misleading comrades to go piss on thier boss heads. Uber add everything including booking fee under thier commission abi who bolt dey give the booking fee? Bolt add every money made including the so called service charge, thier commission, parking and toll fee as weekly/monthly earning to pay house rent.
I just pity who decide to follow the words of one or two people words say millions monthly of all the bunch of people saying otherwise... And pls nobody should even get me started on strategy dis and dat. From inception practically all strategy has be exhausted here yet someone will say you have to register something something. Una wado well well.

Even 600 naira trips, they still take their 25%

That’s why you will drive and drive, yet you can’t even afford to put tyre on the car.

I’m wondering if all these platforms aren’t demonic in a way to suck the life out of our cars while making money in the process.

I can’t drive on these platforms anymore, it’s taking my sanity, plus Bolt will soon block me sef so I might as well go out with a bang!

It’s funny you don’t get compensated for trips were you drive and passenger cancels, instead you get points deducted.

Indriver is even worse, some passengers will stop picking their phone.

I’d like to say it has been fun, but it hasn’t, and my car has been through so much.

Then the riders that treat you like dirt, as if they own the car. Spits...

Drivers are trying men, no lie!

Let’s not forget the traffic, then having to pick someone in traffic, then they cancel, chai! You’d almost run mad, God forbid.

Even in 2027, 2031, 2035...

They will still be telling you that if you vote for so and so, they will provide you with electricity.

I wonder when Nigerians will get tired.

immortalcrown:
Who tell you say those when dey support BBN wan support a youth for president?

It doesn’t have to be a youth, but definitely not someone that is too old.

One of the most important things is that we don’t recycle failed politicians.

Asking for a friend

Will your hands get leprosy or something if you don’t cast vote for either of those two parties.

I don’t want to wail here, we all know our issues, but what bugs me is the fact that people haven’t learnt lessons.

I even heard that Tinubu advocate guy is trying to relocate to Canada, chai!!

They will tell you that you are wasting your vote by voting for a relatively unknown good person, but then what do you call voting for the popular demons? That one is not a waste ba?

I don’t understand you Nigerians at allllll!!!!!!!!

If you can make BBN guys and gals famous then you can also make a no name person a president.

Look at the way Americans rallied round Trump, someone that had never even been councilor before.

Please don’t tell me about American parties because we know they are based on ideologies. You’d hardly hear them cross carpeting unless it coincides with a change of ones beliefs. Unlike here were they are APC today, PDP tomorrow, then back to APC; shameless!!

Why do we rush to support bad things en mass? Remember MMM? For every one person that tried to enlighten the masses then of the MMM scam, it seemed you had 100 people supporting the scam, screaming “GET HELP”, lol

They even sang a song telling people warning them to mind their business, here is the very funny song below:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI4J1gP2gHs


Anyways, I pray we get sense this time around by Gods grace, amen!

Czario:
Apart from evil leaders,who else is on the ballot ?

Why can’t we vote for Sowore?

Oya, let the excuses pour in or why we can’t vote for him but must support a criminal from APC or PDP

I am tired as well, but it’s like they jazzed Nigerians.

They will tell you to choose lesser of two evils, sigh

Nigerians?

Let’s manage Buhari na, let’s manage Tinubu na, let’s manage Atiku na...

I’m tired already even typing this shit...

They are already robbing people?

This reminds me of one incident I had at night on lekki epe expressway.

I was behind a petrol tanker that caught fire, but I didn’t know it was the tanker since I was looking down adjusting my radio before looking back up and seeing this huuuge inferno.

I tried to reverse but I couldn’t, so I abandoned my car and ran back thinking it was boko haram or something.

After about 10 minutes I saw other cars reversing and driving one way since a path had now been created so I ran back to my car so as to rescue it.

Omo that’s how agberos everywhere shouting, bla bla bla, only God know what the ediots were saying. See them about to drag me for my car.

If you see the way I started and zoomed off ehn, you go fear.

I was like in the midst of this chaos you want to extort me? Stand in front of my car whether I won’t run you over, mudafvkers!!!

How black people turn small chaos into looting and robbing is just soo shameful.

WATCHOVER:
I understand that my explanation might sound too local to you but let me tell you that 100% increases in price or hyperinflation is as a result of not using the coins, a sachet of water that was sold for #5 later increased to #10 that is 100% increase but if the coins was still in circulation it would be sold for #6. 50k but because the manufacturer knows that there are no coins they try to sell at even making inflation rates rise very fast

Bros na wa for you oh.

How is it coin’s fault that it is no longer useful in Nigeria? Chai!

Don’t you think it’s the economy over the years that made it useless?

Now you want to force Mr. Coin back by fire by force, when it doesn’t have any place left in society?

What is 5 naira to dollars? That is like just one cent, 5 whole naira is just 1 cent or lower actually? So how much is 1 naira in dollar, that is like 1 cent divided by 5, chai!!!!

Chai chai chai!!

So what is 50 kobo to dollar, that is like 0.08 cents.

I’m sure it would take more money sef than that 0.08 cents to make one 50 kobo coin.

Trust me, coins will make a comeback when it is economically viable, and not before.

Imagine if inflation gets so bad that bread becomes 1 million naira, would you still be supporting 1naira coins? At that point, what really is the point?

So you will carry 2 million 50 kobo coins to go buy one loaf of bread? Let’s be real!

In Countries with strong economy’s, coins have value. I could buy a cheeseburger for 90 cents for example, pay one dollar and I would want my 10 cents change because it’s like 10% of the product I purchased.

Juxtapose that with buying something here for 449 naira and paying 500. I would gladly take the 50 naira change and tell you to keep the one naira if you don’t have it, cause it’s not even up to 0.3% of an already low cost product.

Terrence99:
Your tears have not started yet.

Why are you so interested in my tears?

Is that how you go, day after day, looking for who to devour? Looking for who to shed tears?

Even if I shed tears because there is no electricity and our country is sliding into the abyss, God will wipe away my tears bro.

Kloppo:
I hate this country and its greedy people...tufiakwa!!!!

Sigh, you are not alone bro!

I can neither compute nor comprehend the magnitude of stupidity possessed by Nigerians at large.
