₦airaland Forum

It's time this government stop talking. Nothing is making sense with this government that even an ardent supporter will find it almost impossible to defend this reckless government. Nigeria and Nigerians never had it this bad before.

Why are you speaking for majority of Nigerians? I am not in nigeria but I can tell Buhari has been a monumental failure and Nigerians are worse off compared to 3 years ago. Increase in unemployment, insecurity which is not better than what PDP offer and his tribalism has divided Nigeria and Nigerians more than it has even been. He needs to retire and give room to younger generation to govern and take Nigeria to greater height cos what Buhari has to offer is not good enough.

yarimo:
Sir, congratulations to you in advance as president elect in 2019 presidential election . Majority of Nigerians are willing and ready to vote for you

Our problem is structure and people. Our form of government is not defined. We practice federalism with no free States and local governments. We need to practice true federalism and we will accelerates development because each governors will not want to be left behind. 6 VP will further impoverished already broke country. We need to trim down numbers of elected officials and not increase it. United States has 50 states and 100 senators while Nigeria has 36 states and 106 senators... that does not add up...

thesicilian:
Personally I think the problem is not the structure, but the people. The same structure that everyone is clamouring for to be changed, is working well all over the world.

Why not if not? I will like to get the outfit and some other ones. Share his contact if it's not a problem to you

Lifeofpolice1:
you no serious

@ op.


Can I get the contact of your tailor please?

First, Prioritizing human development is the best thing that can happen to an economy because how do you intend to produce, grow and sustain your economy if you are lacking in human capital? Nigeria as a country is lacking a great deal of quality human capital. We have so many engineer but only engineer that read textbook on how to build bridges but have not build one in real life or witness where a bridge in built.

Only quality education can liberate Nigeria and Nigerians from shackles of poverty and wholesome investment in quality education by both the public and private sector is the answer. No nation can outgrow it quality of education and Nigeria problem begins the moments of large scale decline in education. I had received free education from University of Lagos and i had receive paid education from college elsewhere and i can tell the different.
The bottom line is, Nigeria as a nation should reduce the remuneration of political office holder by %60 and increase investment in human capital, education, infrastructure by a great deal if we plan to attain economic prosperity as a nation.

Rosskii:
Some of you are so daft and thoughtless. Slaves to Oyibo. Look at how Bill Gates' comments have suddenly made you all forget that the main things YOU YOURSELVES have been complaining about on this forum for donkey years is INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT. Roads, Power, Rail, Airports, Ports, 2nd Niger Bridge etc etc.

Now along comes Oyibo Gates to say ''No, Don't focus on that. Focus on education and health instead'', and all of a sudden it is ''Can you see?? We said it! Why can't they listen to Bill Gates? Buhari is a dullard'' etc etc.

Fact is even YOU people don't know what you want. Or rather, you DO, but all you need is some white guy to come along and say something different, and you immediately jump on his bandwagon like his little black slaves. He is white and rich, so whatever he says must be right.

Pathetic.

Fact is there is a VERY convincing argument for the Nigerian government focusing on physical infrastructure as a priority. Why spend extra billions on education when there are no roads to reach the schools, and no power to light them up and power the labs etc?

Why spend billions on hospitals when your streets are muddy, open gutter eyesores? To visit hospital, get treated, and return there two weeks later with the same sickness?

Bill Gates' own country, the USA, built up its infrastructure BEFORE focusing on 'human development'. The famous railroads and freeways crisscrossing that country, which opened it up to trade and great wealth, were built by malnourished slaves and impoverished immigrants. They didn't say, ''Oh wait! Let us invest in this human capital before building the country''. Yet this is what Bill Gates is prescribing for us. Sure he is a rich CEO of Microsoft. But he is no expert in development. I'm unaware of any qualifications he has in Development Economics. Didn't he drop out of high school or something? All he can have is an... opinion. And Nigerians should decide independently what is good for them without taking 'instructions' from him.

Sure, there is an argument for prioritising health care and education. But it is not as stark and clear an option as some here have concluded it is, merely because they heard Bill Gates say it. What I would recommend is that the FG maintain its primary focus on physical infrastructural development, while raising substantially its expenditure on healthcare and education.

Nobody is suffering in US or Uk but not as people think it's easy to get dollars. I had lived but life and i will rather be a home care aide in America than a banker in Nigeria due to job insecurity and host of other problems.

safarigirl:
They are suffering, they are suffering, but if you tell them to return home, they will act like you wished death upon them

I cannot take them seriously until they start craving to come home. Because bad as e be in the abroad, it cannot be worse than how it is here

I read the saying in Nland that a lizard in Nigeria will always be a lizard in America and I did not comprehend what it means until I got approved for student visa, get to America and see for myself some people are better off in Nigeria than they are living in America. I saw for myself MBA holder in Nigeria doing home care aide with joy and smiles on his face and I was moved to tears. The situation get worse when such person fail to develop themselves by going back to school.
America is better than Nigeria but never an Eldorado and some people are better off staying in Nigeria if you have a good job because citizenship does nothing for you than the privilege to go and come as you like but your bills still wait for you.

Charly68:
Don't run if you don't want to ruin your career,stay in Naija and go there to unwind yourself ..A General in Nigeria can't become anything less in America ..A chicken is a chicken anywhere in the world ..the citizenship is an acknowledgment of your gifts & Naija is your base .

World over, you support an aspirant with campaign donation, time etc hoping your effort will be rewarded when your aspirant win. For example, United States secretary of education Besty Devos and family donated millions of dollars to Trump campaign organisation during election and Trump decided to appoint her as educational secretary. Appointing your associates to political posts is not a license to steal the country dry except in Nigeria

kolaish:
Reason why Nigerian politicking is taking our nation backwards. People supports their candidates to win elections and in return they want a juicy appointments were they can lick more than enough from the national cake.

Until we get to a situation where public position/appointment are no longer seen as compensation and the right people appointed to oversee our board, our nation will continue to go backwards.

I will gladly support the removal of all those that has previously held public position since the country's independence for a brand new set of politicians that has the nation at heard and not their pocket.

There are priorities in life. Lots of rich folks who still do not have jets while lots of soon to be poor have a private jets. Credit facility is Western world has made it easy to buy now and pay later even when the debt will make you go bankrupt in future. Most time, luxury like expensive cars is not a sign of wealth but investment. I know friends that drive expensive car but struggling to make car payment

Let anybody come here and say vanity... I'll pray u never taste richness talkless of being rich

So Fulani has a well educated man and present Buhari as president? I'm not a fan of Hausa/Fulani supremacy over other tribes in Nigeria but this dude looks qualify and his previous posts he held told stories of trusted and tested achiever and not Buhari who is associated with failures and nepotism.

Say who they are not in danger? Being sent to prison for no concrete crime is a danger. These people are Nigerian and they have the right to call on the government to come to their rescue in time of need in foreign land

Dreamwaker:
Yes but no life is in danger. They are just lazy to get a job so they want the easy way out. One of them even went to the police station so they can deport him. He knows if they deport him, he can get another passport and fly to Kenya easy. They see he's abusing the system by playing a fast one. He's lucky it's not Thailand or Malay.

What are you trying to achieve with your comment below?. World over, people cry out to their government in time of need home or abroad.

Dreamwaker:
You guys should cry yourselves a river and swim away. Ode you think this is Nigeria. An offense is an offense. Keep them behind bars until justice is served. I'm not paying for anyone's ticket and I hope no one does. Let them get prison jobs and save the little till they can pay for a ticket themselves. No free ride in life not to talk of flight

GEJ has his numerous fault but our economy was prosperous under his administration due to efficent economic policies to the point we are the largest economy in African and one of the fastest growing economy in the world but Mr Buhari and his voodoo economic team and change things for the worse. Buhari either get his act right and fix the economy or be ready to pack his luggage and leave for his hometown because Nigerians are tired of his many promises and fail.

Nigeria is cursed to have elected Buhari. The only reason he was voted for was to fight corruption and purge the North of Boko Haram insurgent which he has failed faced down only to worsen the economic situation of average Nigerian by slow decision making with his gang of clueless voodoo economist. GEJ was not the best Nigeria had to offer but better than direction less administration if Buhari.

Nigerians and hypocrite are like bread and butter. You give the kid endorsement and award him some change to score cheap publicity cos he is internet sensation at the moment and 6 weeks later when nobody talk about him, you let it rot. Our ways is different from the rest of the world.... I am not against endorsing him but what happen after 6 weeks, a year? . Guess that's a question for the gods..

This is the kind of pictures people see in sane climes and think we are shit hole country. While have 2 trigger happy policemen provide security for him while he is not the governor of a state?. I had seen supper stars on the street of Hollywood without a single police with them. The same dude will come to America, UK and be ordinary citizen hailing cabs. Naija has gone to the dogs

All northern states was locked down for him and he still lost trice. Northern votes alone can't make him president.

kcmichael:
All northern states are Locked down for pmb.I just pity PDP because they will wail till 2080.

You're wrong. You can't weaken the presidency because you change the order of election days. Delivering electoral promises is what streghten the presidency while non performance is what weaken Buhari chances of re-election. He has perform so bad that his chances of re-election get slimmer by the day

hakimi1974:
this has got nothing to do with performance, it is all about their own way of weakening the presidency for their own selfish and dubious interest. the president will use all means to throw this nonsense to the thrash bin where it trully belong.

He need to learn to think before he talk. With his low level performance, couple with his unguarded words, his chances of re-election is getting slimmer by the day just like Buhari.

I personally can't comprehend why Buhari will decide losing the goodwill to that brought him to power will do him any good. He come into power with change mantra and he has change everything for the worse. Even his ardent followers knows his chances of re-election is getting is slim as the days go by.

It's either you stand for something or fall for everything. He stand for the truth and even if he does not go back to the Senate, prosperity will judge him as a man of principles who stand for the truth in respective ofor who is at the receiving end. What will you stand for NgeneUkwenu?

NgeneUkwenu:
How will this one win election in 2019? A peep at his Twitter page and comments, you will realise the comments and praises are all from the idiotic pigs of Biafra, because he criticizes President Buhari and Elrufai..

Nope. He is not an idiot. He is just a man of principle who say things as they are and will not sell his soul for senatorial seat. History will remember him as a man who speak the truth and there are some senators who have been in the Senate for years and nobody care about they or even remember them while they are still in senate.

usba:
This guy is indeed a clueless slowpoke. He thinks elections are won on twitter by wooing pigs and idiots with fooleries and ineptitude

Education cost money. I quit my job to go back to school for just fall semester and i almost lose my mind. All my bills was late and i could not concentrate in school. My advice is to keep your job while you look for part-time cos if you are hungry due to lack of cash, then your grades will tumble and you will be back to where you start from..

Herdsmen had turn invisible in Nigeria even when they move around with thousands of cows. A sane government will have declare herdsmen terrorist organisation, ban their movement but sorry, Buhari led APC administration is not sane government.

Obama went to Porto Rico to help with hurricane relief. He served foods and help with aid work. Get your fact right and stop exhibiting ignorant of the highest level.

ALVA001:
Hahahaha! , I guess that's what you become when you lose a general election. International Errand boy.
When last did you here Obasanjo or mandela or even Obama been called to do this shiit. Shior.
Ooo fee Ku.

Hmmm.. I'm not a fan of Fayose but hate him or like him, he is man of the people. Quick to respond to situation that affect his people and that is the leadership quality lacking among Nigerian leaders.

If all these figures add up then somebody is lying. It will be horrible is federal agencies which are independent of present government now come out with bogus figures to justify economic prosperity when it's nother so.

After reading your write up, I conclude you need to either see your Dr. Or take your drug as prescribed my your Dr.

I do not have a clue about visa because I only renew my passport but I don't think it will take long because the process is stress free and quick to apply..

AlwaysPad:
Please how long does it take Nigeria embassy in Washington to process a Nigerian visa for a US citizen who isn't a Nigerian?

US visa is an instant decision and you pick your visa 2 days later

bareal:
How long does it take to get approval?

It does not take 3 months to get American visa in Nigeria. You pick you visa up 2 days after you are approved.

Konze70:
Nonsense , it takes other countries 3 months to give nigerians their visa and you are celebrating 24 hrs of giving them vIsa. What a clueless set of people !
