When is Nigerians going to take action on this day light abuse of our money in the name of doing legislation. Which other country waste money like this?

cars just for making law, we need to do something, I just don't know what

Holamilekan97:
Revolution. Who's in??

at this point, we should all be in. I'm almost in tears right now, feeling so helpless

what can we do about it?

can we match over there and drive these guys away?

seriously, what is our solution. we can't take this any longer

WorkSmartEdu:
Very typical of the lazy nigerian yooth. Online warriors but very docile beings...
Let them keep trending a very pertinent question at this perilous time...Mtcheeww nonsense and trending!

At least they are asking the right questions, that's a step in the right direction

mass enlightenment

on twitter now

but won't the president eventually step down?

...

maybe we should really be re-colonized, cause truly, other vultures, i.e tinubu and the rest and hovering over the alpha vultures i.e buhari and dem, presently feasting on the rotting flesh of Nigeria.

we need antibiotics in the form of sowore, moghalu or even an accomplished white administrator, yes I said it, bring a competent white man from Harvard to come and lead. In fact, maybe they should bring white men for all the states and local governments.

if you are claiming black and proud, then why do you accept the name "Nigeria" that was given to you by a white man? why do you use their devices? why do you run away to their land at the slightest opportunity?

if you are claiming black and proud, why do you keep electing the worst of the worst, like buhari to lead you? you did not see highly intelligent Nigerians to choose from, you had to dance half naked in the market square at the mention of your certificate-less lord, some returning to their natural habitats by swimming in gutters, others bruising their own skins for the love of their tormentor.

sick and twisted electorate, spits

surgical:
The worst is them coming to his defence despite his negative scores on the job as if he is just voted to enjoy the spoils of office without doing the corresponding work
Those supporters are confirmed idiots

As in, no work, he can't even address the nation

He is just hiding somewhere, na wa

I still cannot understand the Buhari one till tomorrow

You went and brought a relic from history, one that got power through the barrel of a gun and brought him back in a democracy?

Like we were out of options, but to elect a former dictator

Naija na wa

Tetrahedron:
Nigeria as a nation is overdue for an overhaul!!!
The zoo must fall

we need the best of the best of the best, at all positions in Nigeria

but often times, we get the worst of the worst of the worst

buses that should be stopping at scheduled intervals no matter what, like say every 15 to 30 minutes

but how will they do that, when there aren't enough buses and even if they were, the traffic will not allow them

Nigerians don't even have lanes on majority of their roads and when you bring up lane discipline, other will look at you, as if you are forming yankee guy, not knowing that the devil lies in the details. 70% of traffic problems in a city like Lagos for instance can be solved by having Extreme lane discipline. What does this mean?

This means:
1) Every car stays within their lanes.

2) Cars are not allowed to be in two lanes at once, cause when this occurs, they are essentially impeding traffic of the two lanes behind.

3) Every time a lane change is to occur, a driver must signal before making said lane change.

4) The shoulder of the roads are to be used for emergency vehicles only.

5) No driving on the side walks.

6) No forming of extra lanes during high traffic peroids.

...

Enforce these laws and watch traffic in Lagos melt away to a more controllable level.

Buy more buses with improved driving Law and Order and watch how the buses make it to their designated stops on time, each and every time.


I get tired of talking about common sense issues in Nigeria, cause it seems the more things make sense, the harder it is or Nigeria to execute them, sigh

GentRoyal:
How much is a gallon of clean water, for God's sake.

must they even wash it sef?

I'm inclined to believe that these guys are of malintent

I mean, i'd rather buy the fruits unwashed, straight from the harvest, than buy fruits washed with gutter water

men, na to buy fruits from shoprite remain ooo

if it's only one video i've seen of these guys washing fruits inside gutter, I'd say okay maybe it's just that one guy

but now i've seen way too many videos not to take this shhh seriously

I was even tempted to eat salad with veggies i brought from market, but i said during this peroid, all my raw veggies have to pass through hot water in the pot, by fire by force. even if it's only 20 percent of nutrient left, thats enough for me.

only raw fruits i can consider for now are oranges

lets all take care and be watchful

What kind of leader is this that we can't even hear from him during this period of crisis?

Even worse are those myopic supporters that say things like "Must he address Nigerians?", "what will his reassurance do for you"

like, are you kidding?

So you president doesn't need to be seen, he doesn't need to make speeches, he doesn't need to reassure Nigerians, he doesn't need to give account to the electorate...

So why in the world is he the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Was he elected president just to stay in his room out of view of Nigerians?

The question is, do buses even stop at the designated bus stops?

you will see danfo stop on the road, blocking the third lane, where as they could simply veer into their bus stop, thereby allowing free flowing traffic behind them.

Why is this never enforced?

So tell me, how will the loan for this project be paid back?

Something that was supposed to already be generating revenue since 2013, is still not complete and hasn’t generated a single dime in revenue.

Do you guys see how the loans given to Nigeria are used? They will tell you it’s for this huge project, but check back in a decade and they will give you 20 reasons why the project could not be completed. Those reasons, they did not know them before they took the loan ba?

This is how they take loans for projects in millions and billions of dollars for projects that they never finish.

Yet Nigeria becomes stuck with huge loans, low oil prices, lack of revenue diversification and of course, unfinished projects.

Its 2020, still waiting for the rail that was supposed to be open in 2013

This thread is hilarious.

Let me also find a throwback

johnmartus:
You need brain reset. Greed and selfish is killing you..

How am I being selfish?

Since when did DSTV become a national asset, that the government will start debating on how they price their services?

Doesn’t that sound ridiculous

But I guess you want awoof! In fact, for your sake, government should fix the prices of food in the market too. Something like, “As from tomorrow, one bag of rice will cost only N1,000”, I’m sure that’ll make you happy

24enjay:
You're a slowpoke

Please tell me what governments business is with the way a private company chooses to price its services?

Have you ever run a business before?

If you have, did the government tell you how much to sell your goods or services?

Why is government interfering this much with how a private company runs its business?

Especially when they are doing nothing illegal.

I guess some of you want to be communists.

If you don’t like DSTV, set up a competing company that has alternative pricing models.

Don’t force a private company like some Dictator

and the fact that most of you agree with this is very disheartening.

So if you start a business and set prices for adults and children, you mean government can just come in and tell you not to price adults and children separately?

Or what of clubs were girls get in free and guys pay? So federal government will come and interfere with that too?

Abeg, you guys should put your thinking hats on and pressure government into giving you the basics of life which they have hidden from you, not stupid DSTV


I mean what gives you the right to change DSTVs pricing model?

You all sound very delusional

I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with you lot here.

How can government start setting pricing models for a private company?

Did anyone force you to watch DSTV?

You guys are acting like DSTV is the same as roads, healthcare, electricity and all.

Please Nigerians, try to have some sense, it’s getting embarrassing

michlins:
So in the mind of an average Nigerian, this country is rich but the fact is that this country is very poor. How much do we generate as income. What's our budget like. How much do we make from tax. We produce barely 2ml barrels of crude oil daily and that's our biggest source of income. Meanwhile there are countries who pump five times our output daily and that's not even their major earning source.

Nigeria is very poor. Hear it if you want. We might have huge resources but we're yet to maximize their potential

We are very poor yet our government earns the highest salary in the world. Even higher than reps in the MIGHTY U.S of A

We are very poor, yet the presidency from GEJ to Buhari will budget billions for feeding. Can’t they feed themselves with their salary?

We are very poor, yet every two years, we buy vehicles for our government and not budget vehicles, we buy HUGE suvs for them costing 10s of millions of naira

We are very poor, yet governors that work for just 4 to 8 years are given pensions for the rest of their lives, which include expensive vehicles and expensive houses

We are very poor, yet the principal officers in each state ride in extreme luxury, with vehicles such as the Range Rover, Mercedes S class and the likes

We are very poor yet the president maintains more jets than some of the richest countries in the world

We are very poor, yet the likes of Tinubu can charter bullion van(s), plural, to his house

We are very poor, yet, Delta governor James Ibori was indicted for stealing millions of dollars

We are very poor, yet Ganduje can still fill his mobile bank with 5 million dollars

...

...

On the other thread, people are saying that teachers evacuated kids in the school cause they noticed a leak.

So which is it? Leak or factory?

omoharry:
Nigerians and their perpetual foolishness for always bringing in thieves and rogues and radicals into power.We are still battling with how to cope with this current hardship caused by this clueless govt you stupid guys voted into power.,You guys are now thinking about another thief that will pocket the whole of Nigeria just the way he is already doing in Lagos state.Are you guys stupid or what ??do you guys ever sit down to think at all, about ur future and that of your children? .I believe we are coursed to always endorse stupid and selfish people to rule then, we will later come around to start lamenting of how bad our leaders are.
Stupid people that is what anyone supporting this combo are ??Tinubu the thief and Sanusi the refine radical my foot .

Oh my goodness, you’ve said it all.

I’ve been looking for mentally stable individuals like yourself on this site.

It’s like they just love to punish themselves, I don’t get it at all. Don’t make no sense whatsoever

ednut1:
even canals and swamps people will build

That is why there is a thing called Law and Order to prevent people in a society from doing any wrong thing they want.

But since Nigeria lacks an iota of Order, the citizens can even take a shhhit right in the middle of the expressway and the police will just drive by



Seriously Nigerians, when will you start taking pride in electing good leaders?

Election is not a joke or I’ll show Igbo, or I’ll show Yoruba, bla bla bla, it’s a serious something. The person you choose gets a whole 4 years of your life.

Can’t you take it seriously?

Gosh

philip0906:
It's not about the government. Nigerians have made up their minds not to make the country work.

Even if the government approves funds and purchases these tools, it is Nigerians like you and I that will install, monitor and make these tools work...sadly, like I stated, we have made up our minds not to make the country work so it will still be the same issue

Men it’s a combination.

Cause a good, no, great leader, will even monitor those that are monitoring. He would push for stiff penalties, like life imprisonment, for officials who ought to protect national assists found destroying same assets.

But Nigerians won’t allow us have such a good leader.

See how when they interviewed Nigerians on the street during last election, 99.9% of them were still campaigning for Atiku and Buhari, even when other new, vibrant and intelligent candidates were also running.

It’s a sad situation really, bad citizens electing bad leaders. What is the hope for the few good men and women? What is the hope of a good man/woman getting to any form of leadership in this country? So that he/she can influence a large group of followers to also be good.

May God have mercy on the souls of the departed, you, me and all of mankind who seek his mercy.

Typical illiterate Nigerians arguing over what tribe rules, while they forget their problems

Jaqenhghar:
Unfortunately these monkeys are not the learning types. History should have taught them. Our ancestors can be forgiven for they knew not bit whats the excuse for a man living in the 21st century.

The same 21st century that Nigeria still has no electricity

JaceBlaze:
While Europeans don't even bother with watching African leagues.It boggles the mind that a country that prides itself as the football powerhouse has not yet established the most successful league in Africa.

Exactly the point the OP is trying to make.

Nigeria can’t seem to establish anything successful
