You are not even fit to be called a Christian talkless of a preacher. Let ur life preach the gospel. It's not by quoting scriptures. And a word of advice. No one knows the day or the time, leave postulations for the heathens. Watch your life and guard your soul, less you fall. If u like argue and throw banter to justify yourself. It's your problem. May God deliver you from it. I owe you no further comments, since it is apparent you are no different from unbelievers who use words carelessly. Have a nice day. |

GeorgesDiary: " Igbos are called Nigerians when they do great things in the diaspora but they are called Igbos when it's bad news. Even if a criminal from Agbor who claims not to be Igbo commits a crime outside Nigeria, the headline would read "An Igbo Man on the run in the UK for murder". That is how much Igbos are hated. But when it's a Northerner or Yoruba, you'd see headlines read "A Nigerian on the run in the UK for murder". When such a character is coming from the Igbo heartlands of the South-East, they wouldn't only mention their ethnic group, they'd also mention their names and the exact place they are coming from. I think you are being unnecessarily emotional about this. Ok take for instance this news that just made front page today. Did the news read "2 Igbos arrested in liberia for drug traffiking?" Definately not! 1 Like

Originalsly: On Nairaland .... I see the tribalists as ones who either live in villages or still have village mentality... the mentality passed down from hundreds of years when tribe was everything ... capture or kill ... no intermingling. This forum gives the opportunity to interact and learn about other tribes ... other cultures ... people around the world.... but instead choose to be primitive and see a person from a different tribe as an enemy. These are the people when they go to live in another part of the country ... or abroad .... find it extremely difficult to adapt and end up in gangs of their own kind. Whatever one says about another tribe exists in his tribe ... murderers... rapists ... scam artists ... drug pushers ... wherever there are people there is vice... we need to look at people as individuals and not tribe... a man defines himself.... tribe doesn't define the man

Perfectbeing: You have two options. 1. FG should keep blaming all their ineffectiveness on subsidy. When they can't build road they'll say it's cos a subsidy. When they say no money for road cos of subsidy. And till eternity they'll keep on blaming subsidy.
2. FG remove subsidy and you give them the benefit of doubt that they'll perform and hold them by the balls when they don't cos now their subsidy excuses is gone forever. Now you have the right to do the mother of all protest for the Government to give you what you want.
Which of the two options look better to you?

ibechris: There is one special gift about an igbo man most people don't know.
An igbo can defend and fight for u any where.
An igbo man honours agreement.
An igbo man will never hurt his or her visitor. That is why they say "Ojemba ewe hin ru" that is,a stranger has no enemy.
An igbo man believes in relationship beyond tribe.
An igbo man is fearless...even my Yoruba landlady confirmed it to me.
Smiles. I once had an Igbo boss, who ALWAYS failed to honour agreements. Always changing goalposts. Please lets stop being sentimental. It is nothing tribal. It is personal. Individual varies. As we have trustworthy igbos same way we have fraudulent igbos. Very same way we have it the yorubas and other tribes. My wife is igbo for your information, and I know I married a vewel. |

Perfectbeing: Because you can't magically will the refineries to work. You have to invest billions of dollars to repair the moribund refinery to working condition.
Yar Adua reversed the sale of two refineries sold to Dangote by the Obj administration at the price of $750 million. If Yar Adua hadn't done that, Dangote wouldn't have needed to build a new refinery from scratch. He would have just repaired the ones he bought and by now he would have been refining our fuel. Today, nobody would buy those refineries for even $250 million cos they're too old.
Yar Adua is praised as our best President since 1999 but he's not. He's a big flop that should never have happened..
He also reversed the sale of the Ajaokuta steel to an Indian company without reading the clause and now Nigeria FG is to going to pay $450 million to the company.
Same mistake he did by signing an unrealistic agreement with ASUU that's affecting us till today.
Back to the refinery. Due to subsidy, Nigerian Government pays part of the money that we are supposed to pay for fuel for us. By doing that, fuel is cheap. But at a cost. The money Nigeria suppose use for maintenance and servicing of the refineries are all spent on subsidy. That is what made all our 3 refineries to die off.
So if you want our refineries to work instead of us importing fuel you should be praying that the Govenrnment end fuel subsidy.
You have spoken well, and I just punched the like button since I agree with you on a lot you have said. However you are forgetting one part of the equation. CORRUPTION. Removing the fuel subsidy is indeed the way to go but in the end what still happens to the monies? Will they not claim rat are them up this time around? You see we can make excuses for lack of funds and all as being the reason why our refineries are moribund till date, but truth be told any corrupt free government with ready will would have faced the refineries (even if it meant borrowing billions to do so) a long time ago. 1 Like |

Well the govt has introduced poverty to a high percentage of people and so most do not know their human rights.

SpecialAdviser: The very big question to ask is " How did we increase petrol price from 86.5 naira in 2015 to as much as N180 per litre now without removing subsidy?"
A good government will first explain this. The truth you are failing to put into consideration is that inflation is constant worldwide. The cost of production of any commodity in 2015 is at least x3 or x4 presently in today 2022. A lot of variables are at play here. And petroleum can't be exempted from this inflation. To begin with, understand that petrol is a worldwide commodity and the government imports it. So ask yourself the question, how much is petrol sold for per litre in various countries and then go ahead to convert it to naira. That will let u know the real price we ought to be paying for petrol. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Then they'll start a fresh session I don't seem to be getting this line of thought. So maybe u will throw more light on it. Because when I was in school I know for certain that time lost during strikes was never recovered. The lecturers cannot skip 6months of lectures and examination, it's not possible. We have lost years to strikes. Due to strike I graduated a year later than I ought to. So lets try to analyse this. If students were in first semester before the strike began, and by now they ought to be at the end of the second semester, how do u think the school will cover up such loss? Cus what I know is if school resumes today, first semester continues from where it stopped. U cannot skip the process. |

You have said the simple fact. The truth remains that the government is paying far more than any employer of labour in this country(except maybe multinationals) and in truth they are paying for next to zero returns. Go to all government parastatal across the country both state and federal and you will see what is at play. Yes we deserve better governance, but please understand that the government is not father Christmas. You cant continue to share national cake and claim it is your right. Just because u hear some people are stealing in government. Have u not also been stealing at your own level? Take a realistic look at things as a business owner and you will understand the government attimes.
