In my opinion I think overpopulation is the biggest threat Nigeria is facing. When the economy is so unhealthy but the population is rising rapidly then that's a huge red flag. This is definitely a ticking time bomb and our problems are just at the beginning stage compared with the chaos coming ahead. I pity many kids born from today henceforth. Anything short of a negative population growth at this point will not avoid the doomsday ahead. Common sense should guide us to cut the birth rate but we are hoping on God to provide. If God didn't prevent the all the hunger and deaths and other terrible calamities from happening inspite of all the prayers what makes you think he would intervene when the outcome of our careless birth rate start manifesting heavily?

At present I think the biggest threat facing Nigeria is the possibility that Buhari may still be president for another 4 years.
For the survival of the country we must not let that happen.

Saï baba being in power is the greatest threat facing Nigeria

1. Mass illiteracy (highest in the North): The former President tried eradicating illiteracy by building schools for them almajiris but they prefer going from house to house begging for food. Our youths, mostly educated are also illiterates too. They don't know difference between left and right. That's how we ended up with an illiterate as President.


2. Tribalism: Hmm, this one is strong. Won't talk much here. But meet a stranger in Nigeria, less than 5 minutes when conversing, next question will be "where you from?"

Y'all know the rest.


3. Religion : I don't know what Imams preach to my Muslim brothers. Christians, free thinkers,Buddhist are all infidels. When you preach that to your followers, that's violence...hate you breeding. Imams should also try and educate their men the importance of marrying just a wife and having few kids instead 4 wives and 22 children that gon probably end up in the streets begging.
Most pastors on the other hand, have forgotten about preaching the good news. It's all about huge offerings and Tithes. Why would 7 different Churches be within same street like banks? E get as e be.



Like Pac said

"It's time for us as a people to start making some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
And let's change the way we treat each other
You see the old way wasn't working
So it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive."

Fvck the APC kinda change.

You are somehow correct but United States has more population than that of Nigeria so what's the escuse?

We will be smarter in the 2019 election our mumu buttion is now faulty.

To every presidential aspirant, here is our requirement checklist if you actually want us to cast our votes for you in the coming 2019 election.

We don't care about what political party you belong to anymore -whether old party or new party, popular or unpopular; we don't care about what religion anymore; we don't care about what tribe or region anymore but You

1. Must attend not less than 3 presidential debates: how do we know you're mentally stable and not a slowpoke if you cannot give reasonable responses to simple debate questioning?

2. Must undergo medical qualification tests: both the psychiatricals and others. The result must be verified by a notable medical panel and must be made availale to the general public.
People do medical tests even for secondary school admission, so why not for presidency aspiration.

3. Must have of governing plan (just like a business plan or a master plan) and make it available to the general public through the all the social media channels.
Bank cannot commit their cash to people without a good business plan with clearly written goals and objectives, figures, strategies and a guarantor, so how much more should we commit the life, future and properties of more than 150millions Nigerians to you without a plan.
In the plan must also be indicated your personer track records of successes.

4. Must have more than secondary school education. (There's nothing new about this)

5. Must have at least one of your children educated in a public university in Nigeria (not private): by this we will surely know that you believe in the future of Nigeria and that you will work towards her betterment.
This is a price not too much to pay if you realy love us.
We are tired of insensitivity of government towards the development of standards of educational setup in Nigeria, the strikes and industrial actions.

6. Must be a patronage of Nigerian made products and services and you must believe in capacity building of Nigerian indigenous businesses to provide exportable products and services to neighbouring countries, Africa and the world at large.

7. Must be wide reader and self development enthusiast: If you don't constantly feed your mind with transformative, educative and informative ideas through books, you don't have a business doing with presidency in Nigeria.
We are tired of archaic approaches to human governing. We need mordern, liberated and future oriented leaders to lead us in Nigeria, not power mongers, who just want to be in government for power, fame and monetary gain.

8. Must be within the working age range (younger than 60 years): "what's good for the goose is good for the gander".
Towards old age, people become less and less physically, socially, mentally and psychologically fit to cope with occupational demands, not to talk of rulling a nation of more than150million citizens, so retirement is compulsory.
The retirement age in Nigeria civil service guided by decree No. 102 of 1979 that dealt with pension and gratuity pegged the statutory age of retirement for public officers at 60 years, while it is 65 years for judiciary officers and 70 for academic staff of universities. However with reform of civil service decree No. 43 of 1988, retirement age has been put at 60 years or 35 years in service.

9. Must have no public record of hate speech, tribalism, nepotism, crime against humanity, pending corruption charges or history, and or affiliation with any millitant group or religion fundamentalist group or terrorist group :
We will never ever think again that people will change. Ascenssion to power only gives people the chance to express their true self.

10. Must have done something contributary to the development of your immediate environment: this is simple, is'nt it?

11. Must be well educated about the constitution of Nigeria. We are tired of reminding the government what to do and what's not to do. We are tired of reminding the government about what's in the costitution they swear to uphold. This is 21st century.
The INEC in collaoration with the National Assembly and the Judiciary Counsel of Nigeria should create an online platform where common citizen can get proper education about the Nigerian constitution. They should maku use of shot animated videos and other training material. Certificates should also be awarded.

RELIGION and the LEMMING SYNDROM!

Nigerians are Nigerians problems

Killer herdsmen!

Herdsmen

Rumour and the desire of Nigerians to see and discuss drama and evil things. We want bad things to happen so that we have reasons to blame one tribe, religion or government.

Laziness
Nobody wants to do hard things
Everyone wants easy way out

The biggest threat? Biafrans

They are enemies within. This is a very big barrier in any nation's development. To have enemies living within their territory and freely for that matter.

We'll see how long till they come out of the closet and take up arms against Nigeria.

If u ask me i will say fulani herdsmen. The multiplier effects will be felt very soon viz a viz.
1. PEACE AND STABILITY : they are threats to peace and stability werever they go infact they are oposite of peace.
2.HUNGER: Very soon well meaning Nigerians will start feeling the impact of these blood thirsty group due to the fact that people no longer want to go into arable farming again.
3.ECONOMY: well we both no that agriculture is part of our source of foreign exchange but with this incessant destruction of farmlands by fulani pple well God knows what will be of the economy.

The stupidity and foolishness of all coneheads,that is the biggest threat.

Samleen:
