Do you really believe that? Only a lazy man will be poor in Nigeria? Making 100,000 naira per week as a business man is not a lot of money considering the fact that student working part time in the UK during the summer can make that much after tax and still enjoy free health care, 24/7 electricity and water supply, good road network, faster internet connection, relatively secure environment and higher life expectancy.

I understand that we Nigerians measure level of success by how much money we have in the bank and not by standard of living and quality of our health.


I've never liked your post cos you banned me once but this one was superb. Thanks.

Politics / Refrain From Serving The Gods Of Tribalism, Akpabio Warn Akwa Ibom Citizens by barry35: 6:07pm On Sep 25, 2014
Akwa Ibom State governor, Godswill Akpabio has faulted the claims by his predecessor, Obong Victor Attah attributing the creation of the state in 1987 to his personal relationship with former President Ibrahim Babangida.

Attah had during the reception organised in his honour by the Ibibio Nation recently stated that Babangida had sought for his opinion on the creation of Akwa Ibom.

But Akpabio during a state broadcast explained that the creation of Akwa Ibom State was not an event but process started by the forebearers of the state in 1953 when they made the first demand for state creation in Nigeria.

The governor recalled that five months after the coup of August, 1985, which heralded the General Ibrahim Babangida administration, Babangida set up a seventeen-member Political Bureau with Sylvanus J. Cookey as Chairman, and Abdullahi Augie as Executive Secretary.

The Bureau, according to the governor, believed that the creation of more States was necessary in the interest of a much more balanced and stable federation, ease political and social tensions, which had bred instability and frustrated the country’s march towards national greatness.

“Akwa Ibom people took advantage of this and we intensified our demand for a State of our own. We submitted memoranda upon memoranda to justify our demand.

“The Bureau members agreed that States should be created but differed on the number that should be created. But because of the intensity of our campaign and that of Katsina, they all were unanimous in the agreement that Akwa Ibom State and Katsina State should be created from Cross River and Kaduna State respectively.

“The people of these two states had waged the most relentless and strident campaign for states to be created for them. The Bureau submitted its report with several recommendations including the creation of these two states on March 26, 1987. The Babangida Administration accepted this recommendation and created Akwa Ibom and Katsina States on September 23, 1987.”

Akpabio also warned the Akwa Ibom people to refrain from serving the gods of tribalism and ethnicity, hatred and bitterness, which led to the spilling of the blood of innocent Akwa Ibom People in 1969 and again in 2011.

Politics / Why I Always Seek To Be President —atiku by barry35: 5:48pm On Sep 25, 2014
FORMER vice-president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday, said his passion for governance, willingness to do more for the country and knowledge of what it takes to fix Nigeria were reasons he always seek to become the president of the country.

He disclosed this, on Wednesday, when he formally declared his intention to contest the presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), ahead of the party’s primaries.

“To fix Nigeria, an APC government will promote a new socio-political order, which will compel the leadership to always balance power and authority with service and accountability.

“I have been asked why I am always seeking to become the president of this country. My passion for governance is that of a man who wants to do more, because there is so much more to be done in fixing Nigeria.

“This passion continues to grow as long as this government is not really doing the fixing. I have what it takes to bring people together and turn things around for the better. Therefore, I want to play a leading role in the trans-generational efforts to save this country and improve the lives of our people,” Atiku, in his declaration speech, stated.

He also promised to use his position, if elected as the president, to deliver a new Nigeria for all citizens.

“With the support of the millions of Nigerians desirous of change and the hard work by all of us, the APC shall form the next government of this great nation.

Politics / Do You Agree There Was An 85% Increase In Employment In Nigeria? Take Poll by barry35: 8:10am On Sep 24, 2014
According to National Bureau of Statistics there was an increase in employment in Nigeria within the last 6months.

from this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1916710/nigeria-records-85-per-cent.

Very often there's always news of economic increase which many people believe to be imaginary and also surveys that presumably supports their "economic growth" yet many internet users deny their involvement in online surveys.

I wonder where our leaders carry out their surveys - Planet Mars!

Lets take a poll http://debriefng.com/?p=poll&url=http://nairaland.com
