Average Nigerians does not vote for God to provide basic things like security of lives and property. They vote to Buhari and he had failed from all indication. He can tow the path of integrity and walk away and let someone that have a clue take charge. If Jonathan was clueless, Buhari is lifeless and can't even govern his household not to talk of the country as big as Nigeria. "God does not do for man what man can do for himself".

May Devil kill all terrorists and kidnappers, robbers in Nigeria, from boko haram, to ipob terrorist organizations, esn, bandits, evil ones among the herdsmen, ritualists, cannibals,
kidnappers etc

Any sane, honest and hardworking Nigerian will gladly say AMEN to the above if they know they are not supporting and cheering on terrorists and murderers in this nation.

Agreed. Paying bills in Naija na die...

bayobabe:
But still able to pay bills.......one can't even pay bills here

There is nothing like foreign doctor. It's just someone who want to go to medical school and need to pass entrance exam. Will you allow someone who claim he is a doctor from Sudan to just come Naija and start to practicing medicine without attending medical school for Naija?
There are Canadians who never made it to medical school cos they never pass entrance exam and they move on to something else. Nigerian doctor who wish to travel or travel abroad must know they have to earn the right to practice medicine or they will end up in group home wiping people's rear end.

planetx:
The same Canada where a foreign doctor will be driving a taxi under the guise of passing their exams, until a decade later he as forgotten everything about being a doctor.

Jobs everywhere but decent jobs with living wages still hard to come by. Yankee, UK, Canada is little better than Naija and highly over hyped cos all you make goes straight to bills and you're left with very few $$.

coputa:
I think they said there are abundant jobs in canada for graduates,why going for security guard jobs.drugs and gangsterism is the order of the day in these over hyped countries.They were killed in their prime,rest in peace.

With all the make-up?

LTDon:
She's looking good!

Agreed and the same calculations Tinubu mis-calculated. I don't care of an elected official is of any religion but with the level of religion animosity going on in Nigeria, every governor/deputy, president/vice must balance the equation. Tinubu making it easy for Atiku to steal the show

Yureyes:
Them nor dey trust politician. Taraba has a lot of christians. This one na political calculation. If he was in state like Zamfara, he would have supported it.

Thank you for being polite. It's been a while I get a response without someone not throwing emotional tantrums. I agreed with you. American jails are littered with poor folks. The law promise you a legal counsel if you can't afford one but most times, public defendant can't even remember your name let alone do investigation and defend you properly. I believe most countries of the world, poor folks are cursed. Have a good one

9jaRealist:


First, my statement is a GENERAL one, not applicable to every single case…
Nonetheless, jail cells are littered with POOR defendants who cannot even afford bail, much less a good lawyer.

Meanwhile, even the richest individuals (and even companies) can hardly match the resources of the US government…
With these sorts of “technical” crimes, many companies and individuals will do a cost-benefit analysis and seek the lesser evil.
>

You're not � right. People plead guilty not cos jury trial is expensive. They plead guilty when they see amount of evidence against them, they know they are going to loser jury trial and plead guilty to lesser charges. They super rich plead guilty. Do you think they can't afford lawyers? Guilty pleas means you accept your responsibility and likely to re-offend and hereby get lesser sentences. Going to trial means you're defending your innocent and when they find you guilty, you get the sledge hammer

9jaRealist:


So many people plead guilty to LESSER offenses in the US because it’s better than taking your chances with expensive jury trials…
Issue is why executives of many big financial institutions found guilty of similar offenses (JP Morgan, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, etc.) not jailed.
>

They followed the law and cover their behind. That is what the Nigerian was not going and they know it was fraud proceed. We are too quick to be emotional about events when parties involved knows the risk. If the money you withdraw was crime proceed, Wells Fargo already clear their name and you deal with FBI and IRS.
Yankee law sucks that you're expected to pay taxes on every money even if it fraud, scam or ponzi scheme.. like kilode....lol
Don't mess with the Fed's, cos when they come there is nowhere to hide

lionlee216:


I was just at wellsfargo last week to withdraw 11,000 over the counter. I knew it will be trouble. They gave me the money but the paperworks hmm that was filled for me hmmm.! I'm sure if it's a proceeed of fraudulent money, I wont be able to sleep cos it's just a matter of time before they(law enforcement) come for me

There are rules to be follow and these guys ignore and possibly turn a blind eyes which attract jail term and that was why they plead guilty. In America, you can not deposit and transact more than $10,000 without IRS been notified. That is the law and any bank, financial institution to disregard the law pays huge fines. Ask Wells Fargo.
These guys plead guilty cos they know they're wrong and it's time to do the time.

babzo:
This story is really inaccurate.

Neither of these two guys were accused of stealing or fraud, but rather not stopping fraudsters? But why has the same system not sent the CEO of Western Union and Moneygram to jail?

Why jail them? Why not fines? Do bank owners or managers get jailed because fraudsters keep money in their banks?.why havnt the managers of Western Union and Moneygram being jailed since all these years?

The story is 100% wrong. Neither of these two men stole any money. I know many grateful Nigerians who used Ping Express to support their loved ones in Nigeria to the anger of the Big 2 ( Western Union and Moneygram). How can you jail a bank MD because fraudsters have accounts with the bank? Something is seriously wrong here. Why have the MDs of Western Union and Moneygram not been jailed for all the billions fraudsters have sent through their companies? Oh I forgot those are not immigrant owned businesses. Worst case they will be given a fine. Or maybe it's because they are "small boys"

All the people who used Ping Express never gave a dime in cash to the company, they sent the money using their bank debit cards. So why have the managers of the banks from where the money came from not being charged?

People will think this is $167 million cash somewhere. No $167 million anywhere. That's the total of funds they legitimately sent on behalf of people.

$50, $100, $200 here and there from 30,000 customers over 5 years. I myself sometimes sent $15 and sometimes $300 or more.

The allegations is on the $1 million + sent by a Fraudster, Collins over a 3 year period. If Ping Express had not verified their customers properly; how would they have been able to track the Collins guy? But Ping did proper verification for all customers.

But the banks where the monies came from to Ping Express are not being questioned.
This is a company I used for years and people came to know.

They followed every rule.

I know the stress I went through to get verified before using their services; license, phone call etc, things I never had to do with Western Union.

They are not accused of fraud, but rather not stopping fraudsters. Then why jail time? To kill their business finally?

When will the CEO of Moneygram and Western Union that Yahoo Boys have been using for over 20 years to send money, be arrested and jailed? NEVER.

Western Union and Moneygram have lost probably billions in the last few Years with the arrival of companies like Ping Express that made sending money to Africa not only faster, but cheaper, direct to bank accounts and 24/7.

Western Union that used to be only available during banking hours. They changed quickly when Ping Express and the new guys positively disrupted the system.

This is really unfortunate.

We are in the same boat. I stopped caring about what people say, I got little peace. Now, I stopped caring about what families say, my peace knows no bounds. My elder sister demand also made me go rob chase bank. Now, I don't give 2 cent. I handle my business, take care of my mother, pay tuition for my nieces and nephews and the rest can go find a job... Simple life

AndroidAI:


Nothing surprises me anymore.

Send him the car, you'll also end up clearing it.

Then later, you'll send more when repairs emerge.

If you later bail, they will talk about how you wickedly sent them a car without adequate money to maintain it.

My brother, since I stopped caring about what people think or say about me, I've been living in peace.

I can't help an average Nigerian and I don't care if they see me as wicked or whatever.

Experience, they say, is the best teacher, and I've learned.

Prerequisite of being a Nigerian is an attitude of entitlement. I hand a street bro 100k 5 years ago for traveling runz, He called 2 months later to let me know the runz did not click but the agent has a sure one for 1 million naira. This is someone I did not even know his last name.... I reconnect with an secondary school friend that I had not seen for 20 years, after talking for a week, he told me he just lost his job. I grab a phone, call him to sympathize with him and only for him to ask me some send him a car that he will find money for clearing....wow...

AndroidAI:


Nobody owes you anything young man. You sound so entitled. That said, have you considered what it will take this so called cousin to invite you over?

How is your relationship with this so called cousin? How often do you relate with each other?

For your cousin to invite you over, it will cost him a few bucks, and he might need to take a leave from work so he could process your coming.

A lot of things are involved, and it's nothing but inconvenience for the one inviting you. It's not about having money to pay everything, will you also pay for his transport and loss of wages should he leave work to process the documents?

Only someone you have an amiable relationship with will be kind enough to help you.

Unfortunately many of you have no solid relationships until e hook una for neck. Your best bet is through an agency, or do it yourself. Google is there!

Can you say that again please. "REALITY OF LIFE". Abroad is over hyped that average Nigerians would love to move back home but too scared to do so. You miss lots from home and have little to show for it after paying your bills in abroad. Nobody likes to save money for 3 years and come home to spend it for 3 weeks. I pity some friends that goes to work and pick another shifts just to stay afloat cos people keep asking them for money.
I own my business and still not enjoy US. Just tired and wish Naija can just be like SA and I for carry my bag the next day but Naija na die....

Greatzeus:

Because they have been hit with the reality of life over there. In contrast to the dreams of flashiness they thought they were going to meet
See bro,you might travel and things will work for you easily than they told you,that doesn't mean they were lying or trying to discourage you,they were just being sincere.

I was planning to take my daughter to go see the fireworks when I saw the madness on TV. We kindly sit down, eat pizza and called it a day. Nothing is there to be happy about on 4th of July. The country don cast. Might just drive my ass to Canada before one low life use my a target practice...

Seems or you should already arm yourself and be ready. Nigeria police can't even protect themselves. Imagine waiting on police who can't protect themselves to come to your aid when you are attach? Every Nigerian should have access to firearms mostly in Northern Nigeria to stand a fighting chance.

blazingblender:
Seems we should start arming ourselves

Responsible gun ownership culture is lacking mostly on most white boys for real. A former co-worker came to work and left his car unlocked. After work, went to his car and found the car has been ransacked. The most annoying part he has 3 guns in his car while unlock. I asked him, will you leave your car unlocked if you have $1k inside?
America is sliding to lala land that if things continue like this in 10 years, nobody will want to come here cos of fear of getting kill my one loser around the block.

t2luv1:


Normally I would have condemned your statement. I used to be a 2nd Amendment believer who owned 4 guns and an assault rifle that I normally used whenever I go target practice at a range. With all the epidemics of shootings, I have now come around to the conclusion that this country needs serious gun reform laws. Time to ban military-style assault rifles like the one I have, while at it, we need to limit the number of rounds in a clip. Nobody needs more than 10 rounds per clip. This is some bull crap time. More people die every day in Chicago than the United Kingdom loses in a calendar year.

Agreed. What do republicans expect when they only cares only about winning elections than fixing gun problem. Every LOSER has access to firearms even homeless people. Mass shooting is second nature here and you wonder if it will ever end.

Teaser4:
Normal level…..

I am not familiar with UK laws but are you saying a friend's can't donor an organ to a friend? I doubt that.

BigIyanga:

Typical Naija oppressor mentality. The issue is not about age.
Per 1989 UK Law-HOTA, Live organ donor and recipient must be genetically related. Is the boy related to the Ekweremadus?
It’s also illegal to induce, coerce, manipulate or offer monetary compensation to donors.
Ignorant and arrogant leaders worshiped by ignorant followers like you.

It's almost everywhere bro. MBA na pure water for Yankee and you will earn less with it. I used to work for Coca-Cola and they pay MBA graduates less than they pay truck mechanic who hardly finish high school cos the skill is in demand while MBA is everywhere. The laws of demand and supply will always have it way with few exceptions like MBA from ivy league schools.

I will just ignore you. I replied to a post that used that slag and reason for me to quote him. Have a good one











[quote author=Malachite post=114067689][/quote]

Banging your wife daily should not necessarily translate into more babies. Family planning is a sensitive issue in Nigeria that politicians avoid cos it upset the some section of the population and that might be end of their political career. Naija politician will avoid the topic of family planning just like a Republican will avoid gun control like plague... Our reproductive rate is definitely to make the control a fail State soon if we do not slow down and introduce what works for the Chinese.

abobote:
Nice thread. Unfortunately, there's little or nothing we can do about it, provided there's still poverty and illiteracy in the land.
While rich and average people are busy with their business and numerous side chick, the poor man have only his wife to bang as the only source of his pleasure, and doesn't understand a shit about family planning

Hit me up then. We can relate...

TheEnforcer:
Not far from me

How do the whole conversation degenerate into that level. Some Naija folks can't be help.. I am Virginia Beach.. Open to chat....

mamagee3:

Just trying to welcome him since we are in the same city...

Dirty minded pig!

Not everything is about s3x.

Agreed and if you build on government land in saner climes, you go to jail but not in Nigeria... I am not justifying demolition of people's property but people need to do due diligent before buying and build houses cos Omo onile do not give 2 cents.... All they ever care about is money and they will sell government owned land even when they know about it.

donaldking10:
I remember a case in Asia where the government had to build a highway around a house just because the owner of the land didn't totally agree with the compensation the government was offering then.
His house was the only house in the middle of a high-way.
He only moved after he was properly compensated by the government.
That is how things are done in saner climes.
But unfortunately here in Nigeria even our justice system is so corrupt that pursuing a case like this against the federal government is almost futile.
Unless you have money to hire human rights lawyers like Falana, then i don't think there's really hope for you.
Even here in the south i can't count the number of houses forcefully taken over & demolished by the likes of Wike & Rochas, yet nothing has been done about them till date.

What is car brain box? You mean the ECM?

Bluntguy:

Me thinks it's the brain box. That car low die and the brain box is just very close to your left foot if you are seated at the driver's seat. Each time you go through erosion and water soaks the BB, the car won't start until it gets dry. Gradually the BB may die and the car won't start again until the BB is replaced and reprogrammed. I'm talking out of experience. The car is not meant for erosion plagued roads o. I learned the hard way. My opinion tho.

Rugged but too many excess baggages. Better to pick someone less known but fewer negativity than better knows with excess negativity. Wike will grab Atiku down for real.

bizbrainko:
Honestly a more rugged Wike would have been a killer punch, but what do I know?

Okowa is too slow to my liking. I am still trying to measure his level of appeal to other groups in the South.

It does not matter what type of gun you carry cos if someone has not use or practice in gun range and carrying gun in populated places like church, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

terrafella:


Stop calling models of guns you cant use legally in Nigeria. Even if you manage to get a license, the best you can keep for defence are pistols or shotguns. No semi rifles man.

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Someone who has not use a gun for years suddenly shows up to church with AR-15.. Accidental discharge waiting to happen. Time to hire armed security and bam individual bringing weapons to church or mosque.

� agreed Naija sucks. America has lost it place as the best country to relocate to. Canada is a better option. The crime rate in Yankee na die. The only good place in US is cities downtown and some rich suburbs. I used to lived in Chicago and the inner city is no different from Bariga where I grow up. Yankee don cast for real

juman:


Nigeria no be country.
Nigeria is fourth world country.

American politicians are very stupid that why they cant maintain their greatness.
Great country but have stupid third world kind politicians that cannot keep the greatness..

No where is safe. We all need God's protection. Thousands die in Naija daily due to kidnapping etc

juman:
America is unsafe country.
Forty thousand people die each year of road accident in america.

Even if you wipe his ass, he will NEVER help you. Here is a proverb..." Ajumoni ko katanu, eni Oluwa ba rosini lol n seni lanu" take that proverb to bank bro, he will never help you and you're better off searching for your breakthrough elsewhere...

MrOjay1:



I expected him to treat me with some decency bro.I'm his cousin bro and we were kinda close when we were kids.He occasionally visited us with his mom.

Why would someone want to pay 6m for a job that you can't even tell people you're doing? Caregiver job is the lowest of the low in UK and US and someone want to pay that high to wipe people's ass? Better go do masters or invest your money into something else
