Make sure you catch him ALIVE. We don't want Osama bin Laden cock and bull story. CATCH HIM ALIVE AND PROVE TO NIGERIANS THAT IT IS HIM!!!

Cock and bull? So where is he now?

Dozens of people ( in both parties) saw his blown up face including sworn enemies of the Obama administration who didn't want his administration to take the glory for the successful capture.

When you elevate the worst among the people to lead you because of tribal and/or religious dominance, these are some of the results...

That's the story of the present day south west, may his soul rest in peace

Present day SW or the whole of Nigeria for decades? Maybe you should re check.

GboyegaD:
I am amused why people keep making the news of Nigerians invited to Trump's inauguration a big deal. Are they the only foreigners invited and how does their invitation affect both the administration and the lives of the everyday American. The invitation is like every other invitation we all get to the various functions we are invited to and doesn't make any of more significance than the other.

Interesting perspective!

COMPAQ:


Spot on!! Nigerians like to blame someone else for their troubles. That's why we emphasize on witches and wizards and churches are continually killing imaginary enemies. Meanwhile the real enemies are in government who are stealing your money and under developing the country are happy at your distraction.

You are spot on. Please Louder!!!!!!

Edygrin:


So you mean the hundreds of unemployed youths in Nigeria are the cause of their unemployment not the government's bad policies?

Everyone is responsible for his success or failure in life. If you are waiting for some government made up at best with clueless individuals and at worst with criminal masterminds to save or help you, you are wasting your time.

Seek help where you can, but take responsibility for your life.

Ghana had muillitary rule from 1966-79 and again under Rawlings from 1981-92.

Dubai and Saudi are oil rich plutocracies. Remove oil, and they would be doomed.


Also India...massive poverty, and a lot of issues with religious and tribal violence. And corruption as well.




Nigeria is not developed because we run a socialist economy...which enables corruption and lack of development. We also do not rely heavily on manufacturing as well.

Ghana and many other African countries are like us. Resource dependent economy.

Thankyou for this.

No white man is trying to stop us from progressing, we doing enough on our own to limit progress.

There are literally 10,000 to 30,000 government officials who are directly stealing from the Treasury every day, how can a nation survive like that.

Edygrin:

Where's the lie?

100% falsehood. We are always making excuses for ourselves. A human being like a community of human beings is 100% responsible for its success or failure.

If someone else is responsible for your success or failure that means there is nothing you can do to succeed or fail in life on your own.

Leobankx:
This is why they don't want a working Nigeria or even Africa at large, imagine a continent so blessed with natural resources depending on Importation and not only that, begging for loans from countries not as naturally blessed.

Oh please . Let's stop making excuses for our leaders. They don't want a working Nigeria or African, but they are ok with Dubai and Saudi, with Taiwan and Singapore? With Ghana having uninterrupted Democracy for almost 40 years.
With India becoming the number one exporter of Tech power on Earth?

Why should anyone be responsible or interested in your development? Why should what your neighbor thinks of you be any concern?

Why should your neighbor be happy or interested
or contribute to your progress when he or she has their own problems?

Nigeria has been governed for over 60 years by Nigerians and almost all these leaders from Local Government to President are now billionaires in Naira simply by stealing from the money meant to develop your country, how is that sustainable?

Continue. You speak English, use IG, Facebook and WhatsApp. If they ask you to choose one free Visa to permanently relocate, it's Europe or America you will go
Almost everything you own or use is imported from the West.

A true Christian or Muslim cannot be among the criminals caught. The fact that people bear religious-related names do not mean they're adherents of that religion.

Their religious names are products of their parents' understanding and/or futuristic expectations which sadly is not fulfilled.

Very true.

Can we see how social media has made young nigeria to talk and act like moroons,every body is just commenting bullshit,have u guys sit-down to ask ,y wld young boy between the age of 19 n 21 just kill an Uber driver,u fools just concluded, have u guys gotten first hand information. People just come out to talk bullshit. Am not in support of the killing,but atleast people shld not just just into conclusion. Mumu children for nairaland

What went wrong then? Or what is it that you can tell us?

When it comes to crime and corruption, Nigerians always unite and forget religion and tribe. See the names of the robbery gang; Christian is there, so is Muslim, Easterner is there, Westerner is there, even Northerner maybe. There is even a foreign sounding name ( like Cote d Ivoire.)

Godwin4444:
so saner countries don't have police checkpoints?

Election loss is making u go mad

Police check point where there is no crisis ? No..none

Police have to have a valid reason to stop you as in you broke the law: speeding above speed limit, break light not working, your car has been declared wanted etc.

The problem with Nigerian police is lack of intelligence gathering and surveillance. So they assume that check point is the way to stop or prevent crime.

Check points only started during the Civil war and they continued throughout the first 13 years of military rule.

Hasn't stopped since.

No "sane" country has daily uncountable check points. I saw only 1 check point in my 6 months stay in Accra, Ghana ( i don't know about now though).

Boko haram day and upload pictures

Make our military self day upload pictures

For the citizen mind to be at peace


That reminds me of Shekau with 9 life's 🙂

They probably want to avoid Amnesty and World Court wahala of extra judicial killing and torture.

There are some crazy videos in the past of soldiers killing Boko Haram members who had already surrendered.

For examples, the former Army Chief under Buhari who was made Ambassador to Benin Republic dare not set foot outside Africa.

Good news for Nigeria. Congratulations to the Minister.
The Prayer Breakfast though has NOTHING to do with Trump.
It's been organized for decades and all Presidents attend or send reps.
Obama and Bush were there many times.

Yaradua would have transformed this country if not for death

Did he transform Katsina in 8 years? It's the same way people said Tinubu transformed Lagos, so he will transform Nigeria. But did he transform any of the SW States he controlled for over 20 years through his proxies?

Okay nah. Nobody fuccks with Ooni and nit regret it. Ask Oba Rilwan Tupac Akiolu of Lagos

What did the Oba do to the Ooni and what then happened to him?

This Ekiti Governor seems to be the most reported public official on Nairaland Front Page, definitely
the most reported Governor. He is either the most active Governor or he has a top notch PR team or maybe @Seun is from Ekiti?

So sad. It was for good intentions but with the level of poverty in the land, they were overwhelmed.

My church tried to give rice and other palliatives to 3,000 people. 10,000 showed up and almost burned down the building. Even police and other security operatives were nearly subdued.

Come and see tear gas over a very very good cause.....

Haaa. They wanted to burn the building? Upon what?

Wow! What happened between Wike and Mama Peace?

Righthussle:
It's certainly going to be an irredeemably colonised

A colonised African is not interested in anything that can connect him with his forebears. Or a heaven where there are angels with African names like angel Ndokwe or angel Fubara or angel Soyinka or angel Sarowiwa.

Why Fubara? What about Wike?

Some folks have been going round saying that Israel's behind sponsoring the rebels to take down Assad. But, that's just not the case. Now, I'm asking, why are these rebels coming for the people who allegedly backed 'em, just hours after taking over Damascus? It's all a bit sus, innit?

Am yisreal chai 🇮🇱!

Not everyone is versed in international affairs, infact most are not.

There are many rebel groups ,some even enemies.

The Kurds for example are the 2nd largest and control almost a third of Syria, yet some Kurds are Christians and Jews. And Turkey that supports some of the rebels is a sworn enemy of the Kurds.

So yes, some Rebels hate Isreal, some are tolerant and some love them.

By the way, from your vote the Shares for NATO are defeating the likes for Putin

Asking respectfully!

Ribadu. I had so much hope that he would be the one to turn Nigeria around, Gani believed in him too.
But I think he got tired of trying to fight the system from outside, only that now even inside he seems to have changed and become one of them.
It's like they drummed "sense" into him and he gave up the struggle.
I remember when Yaradua and GEJ were hounding him and he escaped an assassination attempt; the Oba Of Lagos, a former police boss and one of his mentors was stylishly advising him to be calming down that his name is not savior ( he didn't use those words, that it was obvious). I ll never forget the picture of him crouching beside the Oba's chair as they talked, while on the run from his would be killers.
Baba seems to have accepted the reality of Nigeria. A man who rejected $15 Million bribe? A bribe given him at 1am with no witnesses, that he could have pocketed. Infact he could have gotten 10 times that from other Governors who were begging him.
