The people we refer to as “leaders” in Nigeria are not up to 25,000 in number. That’s less than 1/10000th.........and we are sitting around blaming “leaders”!

The supposed "children of the most high god" are also part of the reason Nigeria is in a complete mess. I hope you're aware.

Though I was barely a teenager in those days, I still remember newspapers dating to 1982.

In my first secondary school in 1983,i remember my mum everyday while going to work, ordering from the vendor "Times, Punch, Sketch, Tribune and Concord" and handing the vendor a one naira note. Each paper cost 20 kobo then.

Fast forward 1990 and a relative comes to Nigeria from the US and stays in my father's house. He complains Daily Times is now 2 Naira that when he was leaving, in 1984,it was 20k.

The biggest problem the country has faced in the last 40 years has been the wasted years of shagari, babangida and Abacha and it now includes Buhari's rule. Buhari ineptitude is a thorn to APC's flesh as many call him the "ill. ." word behind his back but need his massive and undeserved goodwill to win elections.

There won't be peace and progress for Nigeria as a country if they don't allow BIAFRA go, no amount of name changing can stop that.

We are the children of the most high and our God is fighting our battle.

I once said something like this before, that even if no Igbo man ever lead Nigeria, that the Yourba people must find a way to drag them into the mess when Nigeria finally becomes destroyed beyond redemption

If you spend 40yrs on a problem, you can rest assured you have misdiagnosed the root cause!!

Here are 30-40yr old headlines... yet, someone said Nigeria will be great again.

Even when Moses killed an Egyptian for an oppressed Israelite.
It was still an Israelite that threatened to expose him which made him flee into exile.
It still didn't change they are the oppressed children of the Most high and if they don't emback on their exodus, the oppressors will fall.

I was informed by a reliable source that our NEPA wires can't carry current for 24/7 that it will explode. That was far back 2002 , so no hope for steady light .

That's why history was removed from curriculum but you young guys of these days; when someone is trying to make you guys understand that things had been falling apart from ages; you guys will resort in insulting the person. That's the newspaper and more will flow in soon.

Dear Sir/Ma,

Can you please tone down the generalization... It's strongly evident in your comment.

The fact that some do, doesn't mean we are all the same.

Besides, I am a student of history and if i may ask, did I hurl any insults at you?

Modified:
Sincerely judging from your comments on this section of the thread, I can succinctly deduce that you hold little or no true nationalist view and one would beg to know why you have strongly held on to this views giving the fact you could have done more to push for a better nation when it comes to being patriotic over the last few decades as a sexagenarian or perhaps a quinquagenarian that you are. Except you're only being pretentious under this moniker.

Reliable source?

Do you know there are areas in Nigeria where power supply is steady and their wires never explode.

Do you know that transmission lines (11kV, 33kV...) are always active 24/7/365 except on rear occasions. Have you ever hear say the wires explode? (Not transformers o)

There are substandard wires in the market for people that will patronize them, and there are good ones that meets international standard. It's a matter of choice.

I agree, Nigeria get problems but this Nepa wire theory no hold water.

engrchykae:
so there are no way of having the grade of wires that can carry 24/7 power?
I maintain that it is intentional.
Mikano generators can as well be Mai Kano.
There is a great electric generator interest in Nigeria, Perkins and John Holt.
As for nnpc,they are useless as the p in pneumonia.
The British were of the belief that in 500 years we can't figure out how to refine crude oil.
IGBOS divided the 500 by 100 during the civil war,it annoyed UK.
Why is the military going after boys in the creek who are refining Diesel?
Ask yourself,are these boys not supposed to be celebrated?

Prinnce1:
that was far back 2002 I heard that, 19 years after I haven't seen NEPA light last for more than 1 week on a stretch. Maybe the explodes was exaggerated by him but have lived my life since then till now yet to see a place that have light 1 year without a interruption. He was a NEPA official who is late now

My tone of message wasn't political in anyways, what I tried to draw attention to was, the system has been faulty ever since.

Magmata:


I got the message in your post, there's nothing political about it. Even if your tone is political, the fact still remain that there is something fundamentally wrong with this Nation.

My talk about the wire exploding was born out of personal knowledge in that line, nothing attached except for clarity.

What about GEJ years? Abi something is wrong with your thinking faculty? Biased dimwit.
