PMB has continue to shown his haters that under low oil prices low FG revenue he is doing what 16 years of locusts, PDP couldn't achieve. We shall surely get there.

Anyone can borrow money, it is no magic.
If everyone was borrowing at this rate before 2015.
Buhari won't have the opportunity to borrow Nigeria's future away.

I don't think AJ will ever agree to fight Wilder... And frankly I can't say I blame him.

Wilder could kill him in the ring

Wilder is so dangerous, that he only has one belt.

iamJ:

if good leader come try fight corruption, him own people go fight am, dem fit kill am self, na only under hard hand nigerians dey hear word


na why our police and army dont do us like american, they know us, we dont hear word

How many years did the military spend in power?

How do you marry someone without their consent?

Excellent analysis by Atiku.
You can sense the intelligence and understanding in his writing, unlike the NEPA certified general.

d4gmail:
I drink water because I am thirsty and not because someone who wears a suit hawks it. Even if he sells at a higher price, no one will buy because all water solves the same problem. Failed strategy!

You are wrong and misunderstands business.
Pure water sells for #10 while some bottled water sell for #120.
People still buy bottled water.

Some bottled water sells for #50 on the road while the same is sold at #250 in some restaurants.
People still buy them.

Foxman19:
I don't understand. How police would ask you to pay a certain amount when you are not commit any crime.
Maybe this one is a Yahoo Yahoo too.

Even if he is Yahoo Yahoo, are you happy that the police extorted him?
I have an advice for you, never argue against an armed policeman especially on the road
even if you are a saint, many didn't live to tell their story.

CSTR2:
It is a moral crime to be worth over 3 billion dollars without paying your fair share to alleviate chronic poverty in the country.

There is no such thing as a moral crime.
And no, being poor doesn't make you an angel.

As long as a person did not violate tax laws, they are good to go.

Bedwyr:
Actually, to be harsh, Nigerians need to pay more taxes.

It would be a good thing if we paid 30-50% of our monthly earnings as tax, the better to force many of us to sit up and actually take an interest in what our gofment is doing...

(Yes, I mean it.).

MODIFIED

The truth is, if we pay taxes at a higher rate...rich people inclusive...and government does nothing...people will get angry, and throw the corrupt people out and deal with them well well.

So higher taxes = fire under the feet of whoever is in government.

But then again, Nigeria is a country where people fight for their interests first, before tribe and everything else....

Nigerian are cowards.
They never get angry even when being killed.
There is a reason why SARS is still operating despite their reign of killing and extortion.

How many protests have been done against bandits killing?

If people can't rise against killings is it ordinary tax that they will rise again?

Everything Quota General Buhari says is a lie.
Look at what he does, not what he says.
Never trust him.

Abdul05:
Here,l can do no more than say that Buhari is not a gold seeker.He is an honorable General ,who has no need to look for Cash.He is devoid of vices and Generations of Nigerians will learn a lot from him .Happy birthday and long life to you sir.

A lot of beggars on the street are also not gold seekers.
They are honorable and devoice of vice in that they prefer to beg than engage in crime.
Now tell us, why General Buhari deserves to be present and those other groups don't?

OP, are you working for Boko haram or ISWAP?

BabaIbo:
Are you saying the paragraph in bold is bad or wrong?
Because I don't get that point

It is not the action itself that is wrong but the intent.
If you think the only reason your parents took care of you is to reap the investment then it is bad.
If you had younger siblings and have helped them out financially or otherwise, is it just to reap the reward?

The OP believes that the reason you do anything for anybody is business(transactional) so you can reap your own
reward later. This is wrong on all counts.

He forgot that family members sometimes donate their kidney even when the chance of survival of
the patient is slim and the recipient cannot reciprocate.

We have seen parents care for kids with cancer that would only live a few years and can't "payback".
We have even seen people help a complete stranger who they will never meet again.

A story fabricated from the studio of BMC.
All is for show.

Quota General Muhamadu Buhari

futurism:
Tell me you have not spent money on any woman you dated and I will take you serious.

Everything is business

I have not spent money on any woman I have dated at least not more than what I have spent "on" friends
for business assistance. I even got gifts valuable gifts from some(sounds like a fairy tale to you?)

I know your style.
You see a girl from a poor home or who is too young to stand on her feet and you promise to spoil her with
money in exchange for a "relationship". Some even directly recruit professional prostitutes as "girlfriends".

Then they turn around to start shouting "Olosho" later even though that is exactly what they planned.

Going by your logic, you are just a transaction to your parents too because many culture expects children
to take care of their parents.

I really sympathize with you because you have been suffering for too long under the guise of "relationship".

Snowale:
LOL, Islamic teaching prohibits every mankind from having pre-marital sex, it might also be a culture of other ethnic groups, or religion, but the compilation of all Islamic laws is better than any other culture in the world, the Igbo culture might preached No pre-marital sex, but when the husband dies we know how they treat their widows, whether you like it or not Islamic culture is the best, if the guy gives birth to a sickler, it would affect the innocent kid, which should be a consign to humanity.

You said the Islamic solution to most personal problem is to enforce punishment, what about our constitution or other constitution in the. World, when one have do what it's wrong like this, the solution is to be punished, to serve as a scapegoat to other people.

Before Islam, most cultures are against pre-marital sex, murder, adultery or maiming.
Those people didn't need Islam to tell them what is bad because they have brains.

You can't just wake up and erase all human history before Islam and attribute everything to Islam.

Even nowadays, most people are not Muslims, one would expect them to be enmeshed in crime and
chaos since they don't have Islam to tell them how to behave.

The reason why many Muslims like you see things this way is because of indoctrination and limited
education outside of Islam.

Islam seems "perfect" to you because that is what you have been told for a very long time.

doggedfighter:
She's still a girlfriend. It doesn't matter if you paid her then or one week after. After her visit don't you drop something?
The only difference is that escorts name a particular price.
Everyone pays for sex whether married, single or to call girls.

It's only the mode of payment that varies

No, she is not a girlfriend.
If a girl accepts or demands payment after sex for that particular session, she is a prostitute.
Of course, some boys call them girlfriends but they don't know better.

What's the moral of the story?
That money is more important than principle?
The same rotten mindset that makes Nigeria the corruption headquarters of the world.

If the ex-prostitute was not a helper, she would have been dismissed as just another prostitute.
SMH.

MPESA:
Most of them do get VVIP CONTACTS due to nature of their jobs.

You must have benefitted immensely from those VVIP.

lefulefu:
but any guy who gives a girl money after sex that one is not his girlfriend .sometimes we mistake hookups and bootycalling as girlfriend.

Thank you.
I have been saying this for long but this Nairaland boys refused to understand.
When the whole arrangement is about exchanging sex for money, it is prostitution not a relationship.

futurism:
Plus, ashawo get standard...

When u give girl friend money after sex, what's that? Or when the only thing you gain from her is sex and you in turn do heaven and earth for her, what do you call that?

You are wrong.
Prostitution is exchanging sex for money.
If you sit your girl down and tell her that your only deal with her is the exchange of money for sex
and she agrees. That is prostitution.

However, no sane man will call to ask about a prostitute's day, how her parents is, whether she got the contract,
tell her about his birthday, whether she reached her destination safely or discuss future plans.

I admit that some men don't know the difference between prostitutes and girlfriends and you are obviously one of
them.
They are not even close.

Snowale:
I'm talking about Islamic preaching, which people like you make fund of, no true Muslim will have sex out of wedlock. If you like bash islam what ever way you like Islam will continue to be a religion of God, and we shall all see it in the day of judgement

Islamic preaching is meaningless if it doesn't stop the average Muslim from pre-marital sex.
I am not aware of any church which says pre-marital sex is okay either.

Before Islam and Christianity got into Nigeria parents have been preaching against pre-marital sex
and was even a taboo in many cultures.

What you are doing is stealing an idea that has existed for millennia and claim it as Islam.
Islam didn't invent "pre-marital sex is bad", I don't think it invented anything.

The reason for Sharia law in the first place is that Islam recognizes that preaching is mostly
useless without earthly consequences.

So when people bash Islam, they are bashing the enforcement of Sharia.

Even if this guy gives birth to a sickler, how would that affect you?
The Islamic solution to most personal problem is to enforce punishment on those involved.
That is why everyone is up in arms when they read about "Islamic preaching" because it is
a code word for religious law enforcement.

MARKone:
Seems like you guys are really head over heels with each other. Raising a Sickler can be daunting and challenging. The real question is, are you guys ready for the challenges if the child turns out to be SS, ready mentally, spiritually, emotionally and above all financially to take care of the child.

It is a mistake many people make.
It isn't always love.

Some people are just stubborn.
A similar thing happens when some parents oppose a union, you
will see the partners fighting tooth and nail to stay together.

But when the parents stop interfering, the couple will start seeing the faults they overlooked.

These people are daring nature and I hope they have the means to fight it.

Snowale:
when we say no sex before marriage, they will abuse Islam, when we say marry young if you love each other and you have the means, they will say Islam preaches rubbish, some will say sex is different from marriage, now they will have to give birth to an SS child out of wedlock, still get married and the sin would be on their head forever. when the children finds out, they will hate their parents for it. Meanwhile, it is a 1/4 probability, I have an uncle like that, gave birth to just 2, luckily the two are AS.

How does the thread relates to Islam or are you trying to argue that Muslims don't engage in premarital sex?

The general never disappoints when it comes to Quid pro quo.

Ideally, those scraps should be auctioned off to serious businessmen.
But the government is more interested in playing to the gallery.

When OBJ sold the refinery, many condemned him for selling Nigeria's properties
and Yaradua reversed the sales.

Imagine how many billions would have been saved if those sales weren't reversed.

HolyCaligula:
Except in a movie, it's been so long i saw Americans using military camouflage to perform on stage or even in their music videos.

One thing i know is that even if it's not against the law but the military should be given some form of respect.

Based on the order of the Peaky blinders.

White slave spotted.
America wannabe but as ignorant as ever.

Fake news.

The problem with this online rants is that it usually has no effect.
Everyone is too timid and afraid of taking up cases of injustice.
All we see is lame social media posts.

He even has enough evidence
Has this guy petitioned the Police headquarters, EFCC, ICPC, and SFU?
The answers are likely No.
This guy lives in Netherland and should know better but he seems to have left
the Netherland spirit at the airport.


It doesn't matter what the result is, he must first report the robbery.

Out of fear we have empowered the government dogs to behave like gods.

CSTR2:
If the US starts supplying weapons to southern Cameroon which they will, economic sanctions would be the least of biya's problems.

They won't.
Biya isn't ISIS.

Lawan was forced to answer that question.
Fortunately for him, the cabal knows that he doesn't mean it.
