You will never convince me to choose naija over Scotland.

I'm not convincing you but I'm stating facts. It's a personal choice.

Goo0dHardDick:
So why are you still in the US?

Dude enter the next flight and come back here where 1.5m Will pay your bills and rent in Nigeria. You think the rent people pay in lekki for just a sef con for 2million is a joke?

Come back here home bro

Why should you earn 1.5m and live in lekki. Is that not financial suicide?

Michaelajah:
Stop comparing this shit hole to US
I prefer to have 100 naira in US than to have 100 thousand in Nigeria. E get why .

You have not been there. That's why you think so. There was a time in this country when people from other parts of Nigeria particularly the south east used to think that once you come to Lagos you pick money on the street. People that lived in Maroko, Mushin, Ajegunle, Orile etc. when they go home they painted a picture of El Dorado.

I have someone that after spending so much for a masters in engineering in the UK is still stuck in care job three years after graduation. They have been scammed by a Nigerian into an employment that has no income but they were made to pay £11,000 for skilled labour sponsorship for the wife. You can imagine someone that lives in Aberdeen that is made to go to work in Glasgow and at the end of the month the employer will say that he has no money to pay. She is stuck with it for three years unless there is divine intervention.

Japa is like any other thing in life. Sweet but not sweet for all and all the time. Let's not make it look like El Dorado.

LabStores:
Definitely, Nigeria
Because of standard of living
But, it quite easy to earn a thousand dollars abroad than 1.5m in Nigeria

Not easy oooo. Multiple jobs and extra shifts. No time to relax.

Savenigeria2023:
Enough of these noise and comparisons.

If the conditions are better in Nigeria, the folks abroad will return. You don’t need to sweet talk them into returning.

Less than 2% of folks who left have returned, the remaining 98% who stayed back have their reasons. The government of the day should quit these japa propaganda and focus on making Nigeria work for Nigerians

No matter how good a country is people will always japa. It didn't start today. People japa into Nigeria and out of Nigeria. Are Chinese not here? Is their economy bad? Is just that the awareness started recently that's why it looks like there's anything bad about it. Go to Europe there are several nationals there.

We have a large population made up of youths so people will always leave for pastures new.

The op is right in his analysis. There are things that are good in this country. Someone sent four ties when I looked at the label it was £9 each. They are all polyester material made in China. £9 is almost #18,000. This amount or with a little addition can get a good made in China silk tie in Nigeria. There are some drugs and other items that we buy in Nigeria and send to our relations in the UK. They are cheaper here compared to there. Let me disturb your knowledge of economics: what do you think is the reason for lower cost of the items here?

BigYash:
And these borrowing what exactly is he using it for? Because the effect is not felt in the life of an average Nigerian, except for the politicians. They live luxurious life and still bill average citizens for excess taxes. Maybe rufai should ask you what these loans are used for... You said he is borrowing and paying back,yet the debts keep increasing.. You sure say u get senz like that so?

Adjust the debts by the exchange rate pre 2023 and today and then compare. If we are owing $1b pre 2023 the same $1b today will look like it has bloated when you convert at the present exchange rate.

What I don't like about Oseni is that he practices his journalism with hatred and mischief. He doesn't practice it with open mind.

loffyloffy:
Even without looking deep, you can see how senseless Rufai Oseni is.

If Nigeria's total debt is 152 Trillion, is it reasonable to ask that has it not all been borrowed under Tinubu?

The mumu also knows that fx adjustment means our debt in Naira terms went up, while in Dollar terms it has been stable or even going down.

Lastly the fool knows that govt generaly borrows to meet up with budget and payback as revenue flows in. Tinubu has the biggest budget ever and will continue to borrow to execute. He also have the buggest revenue ever, meaning he is paying back as he is borrowing.

This shirt term borrowing keeps the economy rolling

I love your submission

Security experts told us that the tenure of the service Chiefs is two years. It's at the discretion of the president to extend or terminate. Whatever is the reason the president has taken his decision.

I particularly love PBAT's guts. He can easily take tough decisions. That's why opposition politicians hate him. This is similar character that OBJ has.

prothrombin:
Imagine these bloody militants who are supposed to be rottening in prison begging Jonathan to drop his ambition because the current govt gives them business to do.

Which party will Jonathan use?

discusant:
Tinubu making a mountain from a mole hill.
He is exploiting one thing:: Nnamdi Kalu's IPOB has NO VIOLENCE as motto, right from day 1.

Was Tinubu the one that arrested Kanu? Ha

Flangelo12:
Kanu is scared of the judge's gavel.

Gbam, gbam and gbamsomely.

southsouthking:
Tell me why it's wrong to call Nigeria a zoo?
But if protest is bad as claimed with this government, why did they protest against PGJ .

Have you heard the video where Sowore was ranting and insulting every officer around him. Can he do this in the so called sane societies?

bolaayenimo:
Coup scare but how come he retained the Yorubas among them?
He promoted Oluyede as CDS and didn't sack Kayode Egbetokun

Can you joke with your security? Everything in Nigeria is tribe. Wouldn't it be better to use a Ghanaian to secure yourself than use your brother and risk your safety?

Shawarmagirl:
Mr ogogoro, when you were spewing careless and words coming out of your mouth, you never remember abi? NK will play the tape of all the witnesses he called out when they said one thing or the order about him, Ipob, and ESN to justify his defence. NK will cross examine them with their own words before the court.

You cross examine your own witness? Anybody can write anything in nairaland.

madridguy:
Thanks to Sowore and his comedy crew that gave us a content to laugh at... " They are shooting " Thank you Sowore for delivering Kanu's brother and his lawyer to the Nigeria Police.

He didn't know that they will pick him today. Let them brutalize too.

ejieddy:
Sometimes it's good you apply scripture to your life about not being hasty to speak but very quick to listen. I know the RCCG does it because you have to give an account of your income every month. We call it remittance. I know because I did it last Sunday. I have the accountant of our province call me if anything is wrong or if the account isn't proper. These accountants are full time staff, mostly chartered and know what they are doing. Early this year, I went for an Audit, where that church account for two years was audited. All discrepancies were noted and I had to give account for it. Paul writing to the church in Corinth said it is required that stewards be found faithful. I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it as unto the Lord. And every church should do same. It's not the Pastor's money. It's God's money, the people's money and they deserve transparency and proper account.
So don't just write a long epistle of what you don't know. God is raising a new generation of people who will treat his work with the sanctity it demands and deserves.

With the little resources we have and what we remit, we do our community responsibility called CSR. By 15th Nov, we will do another and distribute some rice to the people. It might be two cups, but it's something. We are also paying WAEC fees for our members. Be very careful sometimes what you say especially when you don't know. God is merciful, but there's also judgement.

My brother leave these people. Let them be criticizing churches. RCCG is not like any other church. If they know the type of control in RCCG they will not talk. There are controls around Daddy GO too. By God's grace I'm a senior pastor so I know what I'm talking about.

masterfactor:
Nnamdi kanu is now a brand ambassador.

Hahaha 🤣😂

Efuaye:
If not for the public outcry, our wicked and corrupt civil service and government as usual would have made the country lose that huge amount of money that the company was demanding for a bridge of contract bridge!

Jonathan messed up but Bubu cleaned the mess.

shortgun:
Yes they can be forced to come . That's why they are listed as compellable witnesses...a compellable witnesses will be forced to come to court and give testimony.

Let's watch and see how it will work for him. He forgot to include Buhari and Abacha. Funny 🤣😂 man.

Kingpele:
Sowore is becoming more fearless

Money no come for politics na. Protest go get sponsors. We know their way. This is his business.

tiswell:
Say or believe whatever you like,Omoyele Sowore is a PATRIOT

He's saying his goods jor.

LibertyRep:
Looks like an afterthought.

The fools that he led to it including a lawyer handling the case fell for the trap.

SeeWahala:
Then why not be happy that MNK is now naked and vulnerable and easy to jail or hang 🤗

Why cry? you should be very glad he has made a mistake (according to you) of sending away his legal representatives isn't it?

Cry 😭 for what? Just replied to your comment. He's gangstaring. Wants the case to continue forever so that he gets more publicity and money. This is the third judge. Next thing: he will abuse him and the judge will abandon the case. His adherents don't know his game. The only person that understands him is that Aloy Ejimakor. The case has brought one unknown lawyer to limelight. It's business.

wman:
What did Sowore do wrong this time to be arrested again?

How many times will he be arrested by the government?

There was a court order stopping his planned protest which he defiled. That's contemptuous. Straight to prison.

Quest7777:
Shouldn't the onus be on the accuser to prove the charges against the accused.

Oga consult a lawyer. Law school is not free.

chiagozien:
One thing is sure, they can't intimate Mazi Nnamdi kanu.
They can turn truth upside down but can't intimidate him.

In a sane country and court,the jurisdiction of the case will be first decide not ordering it can be included in his final written address.



God bless Mazi Nnamdi kanu.

All the SANs that are representing him know nothing abi. They must have told him the position of law and he refused and they all withdrew.

LagosOrigin:
If serial murderers, drug pushers and Kidnappers are given presidential pardon by tinubu, then a freedom fighter should also be given presidential pardon.

Tinubu should release this man if he could release murderers, kidnappers and drug barons like himself in the name of presidential pardon.

He must owe up and plead for mercy. You can't obtain mercy by arrogance.

Ayo25:
Early 2015 when Kanu started his were, we warned them.

No single individual can ever be more powerful than the government of a sovereign nation.

I don't pity him honestly because I remembered vividly when he started and how he heated up the polity in the years before he was picked up.

All the souls that have been lost to his acts of terrorism suffered worst fate than he is suffering presently. So let him keep enjoying himself.

My brother I was among those that warned him. Igbo elites that are wise warned him. He abused everyone and surrounded himself with those that looked at the whole thing as business. He promised miscreants #50,000 per day without work and they bought the scam. He's gone and only a political solution can bring him out but he's rude to those that can help him.

chiagozien:
That's good, Kanu is learned and wise.


He will defend himself without trying to be diplomatic, unlike lawyers working under Nigeria system that will want to continue being in good book of government.


We wish we could see the process, make we see Kanu asking malami and others questions.




God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

1. Money don finish. A saw a viral video where he was asking his team to raise money.

2. They must have told him the truth. He and his adherents hate the truth. Just do what they want you to do and say what they want you to say. He thinks that he can control those SANs. Small nyash.

3. The only lawyer that can work with him is that scammer Aloy Ejimakor.

4. Kanu is gone. It's life jail straight. Only political solution will save him. He's too full of himself and rude. He will abuse those that will help him.

discusant:
No Nigerian living campaigned more than Bola Ahmed Tinubu for political restructuring of Nigeria and for a people's constitution.
But when Tinubu saw a means to become president, he abandoned the cause he championed.

He became president, political restructuring became Greek before him.

One former deputy governor from the southwest warned that Tinubu will be a victim of the skewed political structure of Nigeria if he fails to restructure Nigeria politically before 2027.

So you want Tinubu within two years to remove oil subsidy, merge exchange rates, restructure Nigeria, revamp Nigerian economy. All these are high tension political issues that no president has been brave enough to take one of them but Tinubu must take all within two years? Do you think that he lacks political wisdom? Give him eight years then this your comment will be valid. Look at the signs: local government autonomy, tax reform, regional development authorities, more funds to the states.

discusant:
The same message of Mazi Nnamdi Kalu for which APC govt detained him.
Every rationale person in Nigeria knows that Nigeria is overdue for a referendum on who wants to remain a Nigerian. Moreso, after 12 far northern Nigeria states adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system.

It's not this kind of referendum.

hegelian:
All tinubu sin will be forgiven if he can spearhead this.. We need homegrown Constitution that will change the course of our history.. It will provide us the opportunity to actually renegotiate our unity and how to embrace it

Sometimes i have a feeling that this is tinubu endgame which was why he is trying to rally all southern politicians to his fold to achieve this.. I guess these are the thinking nd negotiation that makes it easy for these people to defect easily.. I just doubt my thinking of this way due to tinubu Machiavellian ways and the sufferness the people are going thru..

Of all the Frontline politicians Tinubu is the one that has the guts to try this. That's why the North dread him. A man that within weeks of resumption can remove oil subsidy and merge exchange rates which is a direct attack on the powerful must be hailed. He has started gradually through local government autonomy and regional development outfits. Let PBAT win his second term and restructuring will be on the front burner. Some sections will make all noise but he will have his way. Remember the tax law. With all his minuses God brought him for a reason.
