There is nothing constructive about laying blame.

tosh_acer:

where are you coming from? You suddenly travelled and became the voice of the masses or what? many have gone, been there, and came back to assist the country, not stay put and become empty barrel critics.

Kobojunkie:

Never mind that there are problems and you agree that all those problems exists to date, all you are concerned about is your issue with people who have travelled and their personal choices not lining up with yours? Is this all what this is about for you? Why not put sentimental, issues you may have, to the side and focus on the MAIN issue here which is the state of the lives of millions, not 2 or 3, but millions of your fellow Nigerians?

@Kobo
I have read almost all our post this month, but sorry to say, there is nothing meaningful in it apart of wiping up sentiments and negative back lashes and so are many more. And like someone says, what is constructive criticism if all is said is to lay blame and say what is obvious? All what you right out as points are obvious to even a rimary school kid, but, we are tired of hearing that, what is your solution , this is what is constructive.
The fate of 5 million people does not obviously lie in rantings on NairaLand.

Kobojunkie:

So what if my message here is to highlight the obvious? So what if my posts are intended to do that? What is that to you? What if I, or anyone else here chooses to come on here to rant focusing on the problem? Why do you have to create yet another divide with all that?

You accuse people of LYING but have yet to post proof of the lies, why do you do that? What good does it do you? What good do your posts attacking mine or anyone else do to help the fate of the 5 million you mention? What good? Don’t you see what you are doing? Is it wrong for individuals not to approach the issue the same way you choose to?

The country is suffering from the tribal divides, why fuel this made up NIN vs NID divide by your continuous attempt to cast blame on NIDs when you willingly admit these problems exist outside of the NIN and NID divide?

Meaning? Agressive minority should not force their views and tastes on everyone !

After all the British are the causes of our ethnic problems.

@ElRazur maybe you had a problem reading my text. I didn't lay any blame on them, i said they are the cause of our ethnic problems and that is fact. It is not debatable; the British are the cause of our ethnic problem.
I can expand on that if you want me to.

After several long legs, she is asked to pay N100,000 to get her pension. it's so very easy to get a lot of things wrong in this country. Remember, the dead that were still being paid pension while the living is wallowing in abject poverty or smthg smwhat better than it.

After all the British are the causes of our ethnic problems.

These British people are crimimals, In 1966 they aided Gowon's Government , that killed more than a 100,000 Igbo's, in the 1966 ethnic cleansing of people from eastern Nigeria.
They also gave Gowon's govt weapons and technically aid, that he used to kill more than one million others later.

4 Play:

The headline is obviously a hyperbole as the content of the report doesn't show that the MPs concluded that Nigeria is a failing state.

The Report repeats boilerplate points that every sane Nigerian is aware of viz; the menace of corruption and the various other leadership challenges Nigeria faces. Only our hyper-sensitivity to foreign criticism will lead us to criticise the report

Ilelobola:

Very funny. So tell me who amongst them doesn't claim it or has refused the pay rise. Yes they are looking at doing away with it but  replacing it with Attendance Allowance. Ha, that's much better, pay me on top of my salary to come into work, nonsense. Well done to them for doing it within the law, they write the law, ensuring they are sorted out.

Keep waiting for the British government to come and help us? U think the UK or any of the other Giant nations want others to stop depending on them? I don't think so. No one is going to help us, until we start helping ourselves.

And where did I reject what they've said in their report? It certainly doesn't tell us anything we don't know or that's not obvious to anyone who tries to study Nigerian politics/economy. My point is, remove the plank in your eye first.
