Lawlessness everywhere.

As in...

A society devoid of law and order! A jungle!

Techguy96:
You are even part of them if u believe the fairy tales of religion. If u believe in talking snake, unicorns, talking donkey, parting of the red sea then there's no difference between you and the people that believed a human can be turned into a yam.

As for me, I have given up on Nigeria a long time ago.

I believe in Jesus, that doesn’t make me illogical, but even more scientific.

Jesus himself was a builder, a carpenter to be precise. So I can believe in Jesus and also want to build a better society.

You should question everything and any religion, and I have and can not find anything wrong with the life Jesus lived on earth. He did not fornicate, lust, kill, steal, cheat, lie and was a model character.

So please shelve that belief that once you believe in Jesus, it means you must be backward and not want a great society.

Look at this video from this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/6879395/man-accused-turning-students-yams

Not one person among the whole crowd could even speak up and ask logical questions, like how did he turn children into yam.

So you are telling me these are the people that will choose leaders for the few Nigerians that want the best for the country?

Do these guys even understand issues that need fixing? I’m sure when you mention things like needing a society with closed gutters instead of open gutters everywhere, one were danfo is punished for running red traffic lights at will, supply of water to homes and so on..., these ones will just be looking at you like “what is this one even saying?”

We have such a long way to go.

Great and sincere leadership at all levels can do wonders for us, but people like this make it almost impossible to get leaders that will tackle the issues.

These are the ones that awon Tinubu, Atiku dem will just share rice to and they believe it’s magic rice that will last 4 years. These are the ones that would never vote outside their tribe, even if their tribe presents the devil and the other tribe presents an Angel capable of making the society great and uplifting their lives in the process.

It’s already 2021!!! If we were still in 1950 or so, maybe I could understand, but now we have electric cars, the internet, smartphones, people going to space, movies with mind blowing budgets like the Avengers... yet, it seems Nigeria is halted even while having access to all these things.

May God save us from ourselves!

Pearl1910:
It is well...God help u

Thanks bro!!

Just got a used ac pressure switch and compressor plug in anticipation of getting my new automatic compressor God willing.

This ac repair is proving to be expensive but I just want to get it right once and for all.

When the Kazeem put a manual compressor in my car, they had cut the original compressor harness termination plug.

Didn’t have access to 5v to test this used switch when buying but I hope it works, else I’d have to get a new one.

So that means I’d have to drain the system, fix the switch and gas up again, then repeat when the compressor comes, chai!

But I dream of driving in the afternoon with cool ac, that’s what’s keeping me going through all these diagnostics and repair.

I forgot I would also need new lines to go with the compressor and a new expansion valve, and maybe a new condenser, but I hope not cause the one I have still works.

God help me! God help us all!

Reflect7:
I stopped reading your trash here.

This statement shows you are a completely brainwashed dunce with nothing upstairs.

Are you aware that Nigeria's FIRST power plant was Kainji Dam, commissioned by the Tafawa Balewa administration in 1964?

Prior to that, your white gods imported industrial generators to power Ikoyi and the various GRAs where their fellow whites were staying.

The rest of Nigeria used candles and lamps till independence. They couldn't even use generators because there was no national grid. No wiring, and no knowledge of wiring.

The whites built not ONE full fledged university in their 80 year rule.

Today, courtesy of black rule, we have 200+ universities.

Literacy rate was 5% at independence.

Today it is 75% and rising, courtesy of black rule.

In 1960, no road led to your village. You had to park at the nearest road and then walk on footpaths, sometimes for days, before reaching your village.

Today, courtesy of black rule, everywhere, including the most remote hamlet, has been opened up to vehicular traffic.

Until you dumb, stupid Nigerian slaves stop worshiping your white colonial oppressors and learn to respect and appreciate your own selves and the progress you've made, you will continue being the laughing stock of the entire universe.

Yet I’m sure that when you took a bath this morning, it was either tanker water or borehole water that you used.

Ordinary pipeborne water, you haven’t seen, yet you feel you are making progress.

Bro, I’m talking about water, just water.

Look at all houses in lekki fitted with borehole left and right. Even an apartment in banana island, I witnessed when water tanker came to supply them water.

No paperwork and straight to account number?

Hmm

But you should have asked : "how much was spent on my ACL - lol
Health is wealth bro

Haha, tearing ACL while pressing accelerator, hahahaha... oh my days.

When you watch the replay in slowmo, the way the accelerator pedal defeated your yam legs.

But on a serious note though, health is indeed wealth. That is such a deep saying that a lot of people take for granted, myself included.

habsydiamond:
The difference between Nigeria and advanced countries is that their good news are more than their bad ones... So they have many things to report from inventions, discoveries, many great thing.. But in this country our bad news plenty pass the good ones.. That's why we hear about kidnapping, ritualists, bandits,elections rigging, boko, embezzlement, insecurity and so on..

It’s the lawlessness that gets me.

Total and complete lawlessness like a Hollywood armageddon script.

Even if you catch someone stealing money live on camera, no law enforcement is ready to act, unless it’s jungle justice which brings us back to the case of Armageddon and all man for himself.

I pray for Nigeria and the black race men, surely we can not go on this way, surely!

Oga Felicity...last week Friday, I'd plans to push my driving threshold above limit, so I decided to experience what ants do go through.
Woke up 5 a.m, perhaps due to insomnia. Exchange pleasantries with my wife quickly Munched the Lords prayer and off I hit the road..."wiwi wiwi wiwi" lekki to gbagada, gbagada to akowonjo...back to lekki...yaba....did like 25 trips on all platforms- indriver o, uber o, bolt.....till 10p.m ..ate junks, bitter kola with some origin plastic...
With Full assertiveness.....
I got home, dropped on bed like a thief, feeling wasted....next day, Saturday...e be like say have been ruled out for 6 months due to ACL-Acute Cruciate Ligament tear...I no fit comot

Dem no go yarn you this...it got to a point I thought my engine belt would cut

Now, I have a deep understanding how those baba faragon live "garage life".... E no easy...

You forgot to state how much you earned while anting for a day.

Honestly, it seems you need a ton, or maybe 2 tons, of patience to be an ehailing driver.

Almost like sage level patience.

I was to take this lady somewhere on bolt and she requested to make a stop at a store to which I obliged.

So we got to the store and I parked at the front, she then requested that no I should park right on a tiny one car driveway right in front of the store. It is kinda hard to explain without drawing a picture, but in terms of distance, the difference in meters would have been like 3 meters, I kid you not! I told her gently, I am right in front of the store already and you said you quickly wanna go grab something. She was like Oga, re-park and enter here.

I was just thinking like, really, what difference would it make? Unless you just want to be a difficult, controlling and condescending somebody.

I just told her that no I’m not re-parking and I am canceling the ride.

It’s almost like some riders want you to be their slaves.

Although these kind of experiences are always balanced out by nice/indifferent riders, but when you come across a difficult rider, it always just changes moods or maybe it’s just me.

komodapson:
Never ever get yourself involved in this form of altercation... You are not on same pedestal with them, majority are in state of hopelessness. Imagining, a flamingo as white and rare as they are, trying to rough shoulder with a pig...she'll definitely get stained...

Yoruba has a saying - àlásò funfun, lò mâ sà fun èlépo

Just got home and everyone here is telling me the same thing, thankfully the conductors punch to my face was weak sauce, and I didn’t get stabbed, but sigh.

How long are we supposed to adapt to lawlessness?

How long my brother?

No repercussions for anything in this Naija. Even the mass killing that occur, have you ever seen a court case whereby those responsible are being held to account?

ZombiePUNISHER:
Fulani herdsmen just massacred 10 in a plateau village yesterday...

it didn't even make the news.

no one cares in the jungle.. it's the survival of the fittest.. lawlessness everywhere

As in, no one even raises an eyebrow, such a jungle.

Just today, I fought with a danfo guy and had to retreat for fear of being stabbed.

The danfo guy ran his red light, causing the scuffle between me, him and the conductor.

To my surprise, not one person came to stand by my side. Even the passengers of the bus that ran the red light were all abusing me for punching the driver. No one could tell the driver that running a red light is bad, instead it was me who was the “werey”

Injustices in big and small things in Naija men, it’s so sad.

Even forget all the gruesome unsolved murders that happen on a daily basis. Ordinary traffic light, you will see danfo an other vehicles running the lift and NOBODY WILL STOP THEM, why? God why? Why does it have to be this way.

You can’t try that shhh in Dubai, U.S or other countries where they respect laws, but come to Nigeria and you are free to be an animal.

So much so that you can have mass burials for victims of terrorists and not one terrorist is held responsible till date.

I’m just tired men, I need to be calming down, but men I’m pissed.

Argue with yourselves

What a useless country.

People are killed, no one is arrested

People run red light in traffic, no one is stopped.

What kind of jungle is this?

Anything goes here in this bastardized nation, God forbid!

Got in a fight with a danfo guy today

Punched him, while his conductor punched me back.

What happened? He ran the red light and was insulting me on top.

Gosh, such a lawless society we live in, I couldn’t take it anymore.

Of course I know I need to calm down cause something bad might have happened to me as the driver was already reaching for scissors, but I was just sooo angry

Why are we so lawless in Naija?

Why? God why?

I wish I had a gun, I would have shot him instantly

Coming from another thread where people are arguing over the value of one pound, I had to ask the above question.

First off, when was the last time you actually saw one naira?

If you are fortunate to have one naira with you right now, and you go out into town, what can you purchase with it?

I was going to open a thread on the same issue.

Why can’t they use the funds to build infrastructure that we can all see?

Use the funds for a month to do a federal road in the east, then in the west the next month and so on.

How many solar panels can 200 billion buy?

If a 250 watt solar panel costs 50k

Then 200bln divided by 50k will give 4 million units of 250 watt solar panels.

4 million multiplied by 250watts will give 1,000,000,000 watts of electricity or 1,000,000 kilowatts of electricity or 1000 megawatts of electricity.

If you add 1,000 megawatts of electricity to the grid for 1 year, you’d have 12,000 megawatts of fully renewable electricity from the SUN.

But instead, they want to share the money to nameless, faceless people, that cannot be traced.

The black man is just a special breed I tell you.

We are so corrupt. Only a few people are ready to do the right thing, while the majority scream Buhari, Tinubu, Atiku... without even asking questions.

It’s sad really, almost makes me cry sometimes realizing I’m surrounded by Nigerians.

holatin:
then better days are coming.
if this true then that the best news NIGERIAN has heard in the last six years.
let kick him out and install the general.
General buhari the exterminator of corruption and terrorism.
Vote for buhari
Vote for change

Exterminator of corruption??

Chai!

This is how you guys always market wicked people.

Now I’m sure you’ve moved on to Tinubu and Atiku, calling them saviors when it’s obvious they are the same old corrupt bunch.

My own is that, why won’t Nigerians ever learn?

Is it that you guys just want to suffer forever, and want your children to suffer even more than you?

You are all so wicked in this country with your votes, wicked evil electorate.

Banmeallday:
Your country is a zoo. Fix it ad stop acting as if all is well when it is not...


Nonsense

As in... they don’t even have light or water, but they see not having these things as normal and prefer to lay down on gutter roads for evil politicians to walk on their backs.

Insane

A country with so many cultures, haba, it just can’t work.

and nairalanders will be arguing that Nigeria delta doesn’t feed the nation, but listen to el-rufai:-

“El-Rufai, a panelist who joined virtually, said that if the regime of fuel subsidy was not eliminated, 35 out of the 36 states of the federation may not be able to pay salaries in 2022.”

It’s just sad that the so called leaders of that zone are extremely corrupt, else those places should have been the first el dorado of Naija.

backbencher:
Two ways of looking at it

1.Nigerian politics isn't about the development of Nigeria, or even the development of your local village. It is basically a game of which side wins. So that you...from the rich to the poor...fall on the winning side...and chop money.

2.On the other hand, we don't have enough water supply because we don't pay the kind of taxes or rates that can enable our water boards to afford modern facilities and equipment for us to have affordable water. We don't pay things like council tax. Everything is subsidised, meaning in practice that there is limited money to make improvements. Our tax to gdp ratio is 6.1%...lower than that seen in countries like the UK (33.0%) and France (46%)..plus we have a lower GDP because we rely less on production and more on selling raw materials whose prices we do not control

To use an example...private universities in Nigeria have better accommodation facilities than public universites because of higher fees.

(Yes, I know we are 'poor' but the truth is, if you want better water supply, you have to pay the kind of money needed for better water supply...because pipes, modern equipment, etc won't pay for themselves at all.)

Valid points, but remember, most problems have solutions.

Also getting water should be dirt cheap. Even in Dallas, my water bill at the time was like 15 dollars a month.

So I don’t really believe cost is a huge impediment to getting piped water out to the masses, plus if you can’t afford the service, you simply would be cut off, so there is practically no excuse.

For too long, this country has been ruled by demonic entities in human forms, encouraged by the naive, ignorant masses, sometimes due to tribal leanings.

They know what to do to bring joy to the masses but they never do these things.

Simple problems with simple solutions are left to decay and decay and then decay some more.

For example, a dead body could be on the street but the police or fire services would first allow the body to spend days at the same spot. Why can’t the body be moved immediately? Would accomplishing such a task require billions?

Another simple problem - a danfo bus runs a traffic light in the full view of a squad of police officers, but instead of the police officers to chase after the bus, they rather randomly stop a nice car that HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG, to start asking for papers. So once again, a simple problem is left to go unattended.

What happens when you allow all these simple problems pile up without solving them, well you have Nigeria!!

It’s like when you were given a simple homework in school, but procrastinated and started rushing it in the last minute. Most times during the rush to get the work done, you require that it was actually quite simple, if only you had “More Time”, which obviously you did.


I wonder sometimes if I’m one of the only few people that wants a great Black Country. Really am I the only one?

Am I the only one that wants a Harvard grad as governor and president? Someone that will give account of every naira spent down to the kobo?

I guess the only option for some of us would be to leave this country for greener pastures, but it’s just sad that every election, when Nigerians should think deep and remember all they have suffered, they instead fall again and again and again into the same evil grips of corrupt politicians that they know will fail them.


I am no prophet of doom, but I can tel you with a 100% certainty that a Tinubu or Atiku will fail. Come 2027, Nigeria will be much worse under any of these guys. But Nigerians will still troop out en mass to vote for these same known corrupt politicians. You know deep down that it will be a wasted 4 years for the country, but you don’t care, you will say, let’s waste it, gosh!


Whites used to refer to blacks as half a man, not fully developed, a race stuck in the evolutionary process, but how do we blacks respond?

I tell you how, we can’t even get water to houses in 2021. So can you really pump your chest and say boldly that Nigerians aren’t less than human? Can you really say that?

People might shrug my post off, but there is no hiding the truth.

Ask yourself a simple question - how do I get my water?

Do I have to buy water?

Did I dig a bore hole?

Ask yourself this question and be honest with yourself.

Then ask yourself why your country or state hasn’t provided water for you since the date of your birth.

Then ask yourself if this is the legacy of a country you will like to leave to your children, nieces, nephews or even the unrelated young ones.

Isn’t it funny that a people that don’t even have ordinary water running into their homes, are always hailing the most vile and corrupt politicians?

I just wonder, is it that some Nigerians have lost all hope in seeing a good country that at least can give them WATER? Maybe good roads with covered drainages?

How can it be that a country like Afghanistan would have better roads than most places in Nigeria? Are we at war in every state?

I don’t understand the zeal with which a Nigerian that probably hasn’t eaten well, has no water, no light... will come out and be campaigning for evil politicians who neither know nor care about their existence.

Let me ask you guys a question. Can you be the generation that makes Nigeria proud?

Can you be the generation that provides pipeborne water to your black brothers? That provides them with electricity and good roads?

Or are you just waiting to queue behind another demon like a Tinubu or Atiku, because you have lost hope?

Hashabiah:
Oga, flogging is meant to be a deterrent. Just like you have the death penalty . If you suspend a child, he see it as nothing ...in fact he may walk it off because there is no severity of his offense in his psyche . But when you discipline him , it inflicts blows leaves a reminder not to do that act again .

And secondly, beating a child will not kill him , but leaving him without beating is paving the way for a nuisance that society will later have to deal with

I agree, but let the parents/guardians be the ones to dole out this punishment, not the teachers.

If a kid gets suspended, I’m sure the parent will discipline the child for getting suspended.

davit:
I've come to realise that when bolt gives you a campaign and you do it well, they give you more. If you do well too, then they remove the campaign.

No be juju be that.

Lol

Now I understand why people here say they don’t chase bonuses.

Their bonuses are getting harder and harder to get, almost like advancing in a game closer to the “boss” stage.

Hashabiah:
[s][/s] Just shut the hell up . In China, children are whipped just like other Asian countries. And for your information, technological advancements has absolutely nothing to do with disciplining a child. The only thing killing us here is corruption and laziness ,not discipline

I’m not against discipline bro, but there like someone said up there, you can suspend the erring child.

You don’t have to flog and flog to excess.

Felicity0001:
Haha!! You're truly a teal Vaseline crew... I see What you did there with the "orgasm" part

Well, I feel your pain bro but have you tried to confirm if the mounts are ok? Get a mechanic to confirm that first.

Then get a good re-wire to reset your electrical system begin to factory setting and make the compressor wired appropriately... That you changed from auto to manual compressor doesn't mean you're compressor should be connected to the blower module for what na?

What model year is your car self...?

Automatic compressor no be here guy... You'll regret having it on your car if you don't have enough money because you can't repair any component of an auto compressor. It doesn't accept just any type of gas, if the pressure it's being filled is too high it will go bad, if you use the wrong gas forget it, if the clutch, pully, or any other component goes bad it done for it. Unlike the manual type that can be repaired, rugged and can accept abuse. So for your own good don't even think of it. New one for auto compressor is above 120k. I have never heard people buying tokunbo because once e spoil which is 99% likely your money don go be that.

First, get a competent electrician to look into the car before making any decision.

Good luck!

Exactly, there is no reason why my compressor should be wired to my blower.

I did some digging around and found the electrical drawings for my car.

After some testing, I found out that my trinary pressure switch is bad, hence the computer doesn’t allow the compressor to receive 12volts or a pulsed voltage. Measuring the voltage at the ac compressor wires, I see only 2.5 volts.

So at least I know I need a new pressure switch, so that any compressor I get will be powered on by the ac switch.

I thought the reason auto compressors fail is cause most people either don’t flush the system before install or they let the gas leak out completely. I heard those compressors need oil running through them at all times.

Anyways, this week is the week of repairs by Gods grace. I have already been saving little 2-3k per day for car repairs and I am pulling the trigger this week.

deedee44:
I will advise you to fix the vibrations first before other things start falling apart as a result. You can still manage your weak compressor to hustle morning and evening, and also some rare cold afternoons.
Make sure each little fix is a fix that will last long, this way little by little you will put your car back in pristine condition

Good looking out bro, thanks a lot!

I think I will start with the mounts as you said, i am already planning to go to Elizade this week as I have saved enough.

My hustle hours have really changed. I now work 6:30-9:30a.m and 5pm-9pm.

Sunday like this with free road and my car is already incapacitated at 10:30a.m, chai!

My uncle also advised me to get any compressor from lawanson or Ladipo and manage for now.

God is our strength!

Hashabiah:
This woman is a serious disgrace to the yoruba culture. In my own opinion, she should be flogged and made to tender a public apology to the school and teacher .

You Nigerians make nothing, not even the phone you are commenting with, but when it comes to flogging, you will flog and flog children.

Is that how they flog their children in America and China?

Yet they produce all we use, all the technology and you guys can’t even give your people electricity, but yeah, let’s talk about discipline, mtchew
