Google get virus for your phone?

You guys have been debating back and forth and when he asks you a pertinent question, you say to he should go to google?

wow!

Answer his question dude

why are they wielding weapons

theoldpretender:
OK...3billion....which is a waste

But 3000MW does not solve our power deficit.

South Africa has light 24/7....for 46million people...and they generate 40000mw.

3000mw just gets us up to 8000-10000mw. Lagos, according to the APC candidate for governor, needs 15000MW alone.

We need more money than that (and no, it can't come from our reserves. )

So, either higher bills, or we take loans, or we stop complaining and accept the status quo.

Yes,most Nigerians are poor. But if we keep on using that poverty excuse...we will never get anywhere.

Even with higher bills, I doubt we would get there with the type of leadership that has plagued Nigeria, which is why I supported and will still support my ivy league graduate candidate, Sowore.

Bro, you can't dismiss 3,000MW just like that na. That's a lot of power to be added at once, to a country that has always struggled to generate between 2,000MW-5,000MW.

The best thing about the solar investment, would be there would be nothing like pipeline vandalization. The sun is free and it always shines here in Africa.

By all means, they should increase tariffs, but they can't do that and still cheat the masses. For instance, in our house, we have been fighting for over 3 years to get Pre-paid meters, but there is always one excuse or the other, only for them to bring outrageous bills at the end of the month. Once, there was hardly power for a month and we still paid 10s of thousands that month. So how do we trust tariff increases?

If a tariff increase comes with the mandate of providing pre-paid meters, I'm sure most Nigerians will comply.

Why is this thread in the crime section though and not the politics section?

theoldpretender:
Yes, we spent 40million on oil search.I agree, that is a waste.

But that 40million won't be enough to get us up to 24/7 light..

We need to increase generation to at least 50000MW , and also replace our poor and outdated transmission system.

40m USD won't do it.

40m

Bro, I already covered this. We spend 3 BILLION DOLLARS LOOKING FOR OIL IN THE NORTH

3 BILLION

That money could have added 3,000MW worth of Solar Panels that would start generating electricity immediately.

VenOmswiftTM:
You speak with so much wisdom. I don't know you but I've truly gotten knowledge from you tonight.

For me, I don't see a redemption for this nation till young people take over. However, that's not happening anytime soon.

Kudos!

Thanks bro, we'll just have to hope for a better Nigeria someday.

yomifowe:
You’ll only be successful in our quest if you learn your lesson on time and take this education out o social media to the streets of lafia, maiduguri, Zaria keffi, etc.

Sowore went to all these places and more. He held town hall meeting after town hall meeting after town hall meeting...

He held more meetings that Buhari and Atiku, so I don't think taking it to the streets was the real issue.

The real issue as you can see with a Buhari victory, is the parochial nature of the average Nigerian.

emmy2807:
Oga, does his party have any plans to put in a good number in NA? A president with no backing in NA is surely going to be a pawn.

He may not, but that's the power of lobbying.

However, we first need to fix the way we conduct elections in this country like Barbarians, using sheets of paper that could be burned and snatched. People are already rocking cheap android phones with fingerprint scanners for like N30,000, election validations are already done with biometrics, so as you can see bro, there is no excuse for Nigeria to be conducting elections by dropping papers in boxes in highly volatile areas, when in just 10 milliseconds, you can have the same vote automatically go to a main server and totaled!

When we sort out free and fair voting, I have no doubt that new breeds of politicians not in APC and PDP will get to positions of power needed to affect change.

BluntBoy:
Suffering and smiling started way back.

You people have short memories and want to make everything appear to have surfaced under Buhari.

The name "Baba Go Slow" was first used on Yar'Adua whom you people now love so much. You have all suddenly forgotten how slow the government was coming around until his unfortunate passing.

You have all forgotten the years of suffering and smiling all through the years, including the 8 years under Obasanjo and Atiku when a few billionaires (including Obasanjo and Atiku) were created. This set of billionaires are still the ones holding the billions in Nigeria till this day.

You have forgotten the days of Boko Haram supremacy and how Fulani militia arose to become the fourth deadliest terrorist group in the world under Goodluck Jonathan.

You have forgotten how the country was already borrowing to pay salaries, rather than to make up in infrastructures for budgetary deficits under Goodluck Jonathan.

You have forgotten electoral violence in 2015.

All of a sudden, all these things never existed until Buhari came onboard.

Some people have the opinion that an Atiku presidency would put money out. The question is out where?

When has money put out ever circulated beyond the small circle of the wealthy people and their friends.

Just like he and Obasanjo created a few billionaires (who are still the only billionaires today), this man unabashedly promised to enrich his friends and yet you people still decided to vote for him.

Let me stop here.

Look I am a Sowore supporter, but as I have said many times, an Atiku is still better than a Buhari.

How can you support a man that truncated our democracy

Can I go and truncate democracy tomorrow now? If it was that we had decided not to prosecute Buhari for executing a coup, maybe via the statute of limitations, I would understand, but then you guys went ahead and elected him in 2015? That's like electing Hitler as a democratic president. Okay fine, even if one could forgive that unforgivable act of electing someone that truncated our democracy, maybe on the highly tenuous grounds that he would make a difference, how should one react to the fact that you again elected a coup plotter who has now failed two times as the Leader of Nigeria and is now on to his third attempt?

That's why History should be taught in Nigeria. I remember when I was learning American History and we would ready the slavery passages. Our proffessor would always tell us that she knows it's hard for all of us to read it, but the whole point of this "is so that we learn from our mistakes". It was very uncomfortable sitting next to a white guy and reading about how slaves were whipped and whatnot and I'm sure it was for him as well, cause he was not responsible for his ancestors actions, but we all understood that by learning history, we can void making the same mistakes.

If we taught history in Nigerian schools, it would be there in black and white in their History 101, that Buhari overthrew a democratically elected government and students from a young age would have known who and what Buhari is and not think that it is propaganda when his detractors speak.

Slynation:
Sowore fan spotted how market...??

Yeah I am sad, we missed a great opportunity to do away with those that have held us down, due to the myopia of the typical Nigerian.

My Job now, besides my day job, is to try to educate as many more Nigerians as I can between now and 2023 to get them on the side of reason. Just imagine if Sowore or Moghalu had won? Just imagine the workflow, synapses firing all around as they churn out solution after solution, unfettered by the chains of God-Fatherism, they would have brought Nigeria out of the doldrums to stand head to head with other countries getting it right in Africa and the western world.

It's unfortunate, an ivy league trained young president leading the most populous black nation would have benefited us all, but I guess asking for a good candidate to be president in Nigeria is too much to ask for.

Nadheer15:
I'm not suffering. PDP met dollar at N25 and left it at N250. They looted and destroyed the economy, right now the economy is gradually getting better. You can't expect the country to be fixed up in 4 years, and I'm sure you won't be typing this assuming PDP (Atiku) won o.

Rooting for a man that destroyed the country by selling billions worth of assets for few changes, a man that beats his chest that he's going sell NNPC. Please spare me this rubbish.

First off, my candidate was Sowore and I am proud of my ivy league(r) till tomorrow, even though Nigerians shunned him and APC rigged.

However, Atiku is still better than a Buhari.

How can a Buhari ever be an option to anyone? F9 in Math, called ministers noisemakers, told women that they belong just in the other room... omo you Buhari Advocates are a special breed.

Slynation:
BUHARIG.....

D tin no make sense men, remember even BBC was asking where Nigerias president is?

Nadheer15:
Then shut that fuucck up, we're in the country and we know what's going on. So you sleeping on the streets in Canada shouldn't give you the right to blab anyhow

and what exactly is going on? Last 4 years, a dollar was about N200, not its N360!!

If you tell me that we were headed for inevitable recession, then why did it take your buhari 6 months to select noisemaking ministers

abeg, you are not wiser than fela who accurately termed your type, "suffering and smiling"!!

Buhari spent over 100 days, months, in London seeking treatment.

Just sit for a sec and think of how insane that sounds, yet he won chai naija my naija

This guys is a real man though, I give him major props.

Imagine


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5-LdHKthTk

You are great, you claim you are Arewa, Great Oduduwa, Biafra

Yet only one of them wants to be by themselves

Attache by real force, the force of the British

Can we separate this country already?

If you are so proud of North, why not be by yourself, I don't understand

How can only one region be calling for secession? Shouldn't all regions be calling for secession?

If you claim your region is so cool and all that, so innovative, then why not make the call for you to be your own country, were your language can be the national language instead of english.

You don't see the U.S.A begging to be part of Mexico do you?

TDonald:
Don't worry, Zombies would contact you

don't mind him, chai!

When PMB was building name, they were stealing to build mansions.

You are one of those dull people that supported Buhari bah

You know how I know you are dull, it's because you are being partisan and still advertising your business for websites, chai

yrex01:
u spending ur whole life making use of Vaseline even wen u suppose to b praying n good still blessing u. No penalty for u too.

Is that all you can come up with? Attacking a monicker A freaking monicker

Of course I don't expect quality or higher thinking from buhari supporters

A president that promised to end medical tourism spent a whopping 100+ days in London receiving treatment and he still won

It was so bad that NewYork Times or BBC was asking were Nigeria president was, imagine.

No penalty for failure it seems as long as it's buhari

wow!

BravoDe:
Face the reality man
The answer to ur ques is Yes Yes Yes

I'm already facing the reality, trying to think 10 steps ahead by Gods grace

You can enjoy whatever happiness you think a Buhari victory brings to you.

StarUp:
What were you thinking?

But honestly speaking, most of the nairaland and mostly online supporters don't usually vote, so all these "Likes" for Atiku and "Share" for Buhari don't count because the true voters(Northern almajiris) don't even know what nairaland looks like... One prayer point you should all pray is "whoever wins the presidential election, God let it still favour me".

so here you are, ecstatic that almajiris get to decide your childrens future

why send your kids to school then, why not just leave them on the road

Babalegba:
Your education should have shed light on the prevailing world economic conditions during Jonathan's time, ,buharis time and the peculiarities of the Nigerian economy.Knowledge of economics would give you an answer here.

Oh so Buharis time was tough abi? So why did he then take 6 months to elect ministers

You say you are ailing, yet you don't take any medicine!

Abeg swerve, all of you are soo used to suffering it sucks

Shithole Country!!

Nobody in this country wants good government at all, spits

APC and PDP didn't even show up for freaking debate, yet Nigerians like zombies trooped out en mass to support them

Honestly, Nigerias suffering can only get worse from here. Our currency is dead, we haven't fixed electricity or water...

Black man is cursed, CUUUUURSED, spits

My bet is N600

What do you think?

Then, N60,000 will be $100

Babalegba:
Jonathan is educated but brought the nation to its knees economically. Corruption is worse than lack of formal education because it destroys and brings misery to the population. It kills in large numbers also ,for example if an hospital is not functioning due to corruption then patients die.Intelligence and how you deploy it is more valuable. Anybody can choose between good and evil but only an intelligent man can choose rightly between two lesser evils.By rooting for Atiku your education failed you.Working in a corrupt environment is like trying to fill a broken pot with water

Even though I didn't support Jonathan, are you telling me that Jonathans time was worse than now

You guys just comment out of pure hate.

How much are you buying petrol now, how much are you trading dollar? How much are you buying foodstuff for your kitchen now compared to before?

By 2023, when dollar is 600 and petrol is N500, you will still be shouting that Nigeria doesn't need an educated president.

Something is really wrong with you lot, suffering and smiling zombies

Only if most Nigerian ladies can stay this fit for life, but alas...

Abeg more entrepreneurs need to open more gyms in Nigeria, more more more, let these ladies work out

DEBJOCH1:
FOR YOUR INFO, TINUBU IS A JAGABAN HE IS NOT A SELFISH POLITICIAN, HE REPRESENT THE MASSES, 100% OF CIVIL SAVANTS LOVED HIM, IS ONLY THE CHILDREN OF HATE THAT DON'T LOVE HIM. SO LONG TINUBU IS ALIVE, HE RENAIN A JAGABAN OF LAGOS AND THE ENTIRE WEST, HE WILL ONLY BE HATED BY THE CHILDREN OF HATE. I REPRESENT THE PROGRESSIVE IGBO NATION.

We know he's not selfish, we saw the bullion vans outside his house

Technology as we all know has come a long way, with more exciting breakthroughs still on the horizon. So why can't we employ that same technology here and do away with archaic paradigms

Validation is already done using biometrics, so why can't that be used to cast the vote? why must the vote be casted on a sheet of paper that could be burned or destroyed especially in such a chaotic country as Nigeria?

The results can then be collated automatically, with pin point precision. Each polling center can have the results stored locally and also transmit them to the central server for redundancy.

In such a case, there is no ballot box to snatch and even if you snatch the local servers, you can't snatch the remote servers. This must be the last election conducted with ballot and ballot boxes

INEC chairman is there waiting for results, when all he should be waiting for is confirmation of results already in their possession.

helinues:
You mean those people cant think for themselves?

See the facts is all the politicians have good intentions but they can only do little except if our useless constitutions is scrapped

That's why we need people in the presidency and senate that think along the lines of development and constitutional reform not these thugs killing voters and inec staff, just to win elections.

Why can't the black man even use technology to conduct elections? At least that way, we'd know for sure if the people are really voting for slavery themselves.

In 2023, Does anyone think this country will be better? How much do we think one dollar will be by then? maybe N500 and one bottle of coke will go for N250 due to inflation all because we have elected leaders that put themselves first. Look at them using thugs to kill people all because of an election.
