Do you know me? You clearly don't yet you choose to spew sh*t on this forum without reasoning properly like a normal human should. It is clear to even a blind or stup*d person that majority of the 200 private jets are owned by corrupt politician or pastors who siphon the country's wealth and leave the masses like you in penury and suffering while the enjoy lavish lifestyle yet you sit here and talk like a person who reasons through the anus.

How much tax is paid on those jets, do you know? Where did they get the money to buy them, do you know?

Foolishness

Nitwit!!!, Dangote is a politician?, Adenuga is a politician?, Ifeanyi Uba is a politician?, Kashim is a politician?... how many politicians are there in Nigeria?. The present government has made it nearly impossible for anyone to steal and go away with it. I know this because my father works with the Government and he tells me of a few of his colleagues called to Abuja for questioning and probes. Again Nitwit!, there are only about 4 or 5 pastors who own jets and they didn't steal to get them and the politicians that bought jets are Amaechi and Akpaibo and those jets clearly belong to the State Government. Thats about 10-20 jets in total, the rest are owned by actual business moguls, Big Conglomerates and Companies. I know you would rather hear that 99.99% of Nigerians live on less than one dollar a day but awww thats not true, Not up to 30 percent live on 2 dollars a day

Kajina:

Well my friend, listen to the voice on the website I provided you. That is exactly how a Ghanaian will say it. BTW two of my Nigerian friends are Uni. grads. So as you can see, they are well-read. And about the bolded, are you serious? No educated Ghanaian will say that, "maybe" those without formal education. Listen to Ghollywood actors/actresses for beautiful Queen’s English.

I listened to it and "bucket" sounds nothing like "buckit". Oh and you should also listen to Nollywood's veteran actors "their idols" and see how English is spoken. Let me do you the honor and name a few aii; Olu Jacobs, Joke Silva, Onyeka owenu, Genevieve, Omotola, Ramsey Noah....the list goes on and on, so here's a bench for you while you listen to these people \_________.

all4naija: Comeon! He has a point. The truth is that those things are missing will contribute to the factors which will hinder the best access that could have be available.

Although, it not 'mutually exclusive' as the saying goes, to have the others and the internet access for all. Then, again there are evidences basic facilities are not properly in place in Nigeria. The poster is absolutely correct!

nahh its dumb because he paints a completely dark picture of Nigeria, anyone foreigner who read his post will think Nigeria looks exactly like somalia or some war torn zone. Just like I said earlier constant power supply is necessary but the fact is that Nigeria and Nigerians have been doing without it since it became an issue. Frankly, its a norm to have a generator because you can't always rely on Power but the fact is that pretty soon the power problem will be solved already in the last 4 years power generation has doubled. In a few years constant power would not be a problem for any Nigerian and by then i'm sure the amount of people with access to internet would also increase by a substantial amount. When that nitwit said Nigeria is getting the "priorities misplaced" he makes it seem like the FG came to a meeting and concluded that they'll increase internet access before generating enough power.

cap28: but still living in sub standard accomodation
still existing without constant electricity and drinkable running water,

still dying in droves due to terrible and substandard health care

still driving on death trap roads and still buying petrol at the same price as people in america despite the fact that nigerian minimum wage is less than a fraction of waht anyone in the western world earns.

..........talk about misplaced priorities............

THIS IS THE VERY HEIGHT OF IT ALL.....

some questions for you;
do you live in Nigeria?

where exactly in Nigeria?

why the F U C K are you comparing NIGERIA TO A WESTERN COUNTRY, inferior bastard

my Father has been driving since he was 18 on those death trap roads, hes's not dead yet, same goes to my mum, myself and almost every other relation or friend.

Fact is some people here are just broke id!ots. so because people who work as cleaners in some western country earn and $500 a month, everybody in Nigeria should jump over the sky?.... Illiterate!, do you know what cost of living is? someone who earns that amount in Nigeria is living a way better life than the person struggling in whatever country. Do you know that the bad roads you see in Nigeria are getting extinct? (there are only a few left) but I can't make you love Nigeria, can I?.... keep up with your burger king job In Europe/US....one day you may be able to buy a return ticket to Nigeria.....Nitwit!

oh and heres's what Nigeria is beginning to look like (everywhere in Nigeria doesn't look like your father's compound) ; https://www.nairaland.com/1114951/growing-beauty-lagos-pics

REALITY101: Does that mean more scam mails in my inbox? America and the rest of the world take note!

HA BROKE A$$ ODE! Just die please!

deolumike: . Guy, what is the matter with you? Is it that you are being insensitive or just plain conceited. People are raising a fundamental issue which may undermine the great prospect that should attend this new development and you are just insulting them. It is a cardinal function of govt to provide electricity. If it fails to do that, it deserves due critism. You may not be aware that many people cannot afford to keep running their generators for as long as PHCN electricity should run, you must know how difficult it is to get pms in some places. Currently, there are long queues in gas stations in certain places around the country (we've always had that in this country and God knows when it will end). Given the inimical circumstances, you still expect people to jump for joy because there 'might' be easier access to the internet by 60mmillion Nigerians. You've got to be more objective and realisitic. No offence meant.

how many people actually run their generators 24/7? NONE!!! because there is electricity. In some places 22 hours a day, some 16, some 10, some 5..... it just depends. The glaring fact is that a huge amount of people on this forum would rather hear "Only the rich have internet access" or "Nigeria's internet access ranked as the worst in Africa", than what this post is about. Power generation in Nigeria has never been better in the past years and it didn't disturb the growth and development of Nigeria. I am not saying constant power is unnecessary but Nigerians should make do with what they have now because the issue of stable power supply will soon be an old story.

Kajina:

actually I pronounce it " pɜːrs" like the British taught and that's how every good English speaking and educated Nigerian pronounces the word (your friends are probably touts or they didn't go to school) . I don't get what "perse", "markit", "buckit", "ankle" instead of "uncle"......etc ...like whats that?.

UNLEASHED:

At last, the daftest comment of the year

I'm sorry for you, if you actually think you're smart.

Abrantie:

Lets see. We gave you Azonto and you love it just like how we gave you...

1) Star Beer
2) Highlife music
3) Jollof rice
4) Alomo Bitters
5) Pidgin English
6) Education
7 Gari (the correct spelling is with a single "r" )


There's more but I'm tired of typing

ohhh my! you don't mean it -______-.

In movies;you guys copied NOLLYWOOD and yea , its the BIGGEST in AFRICA

In music you guys have just sarkodie and becca, please who else?

oh Pidgin English? seen

I'm sure the correct pronunciation for "purse" is "perse"

Fact is 2 or 3 Nigerians could buy Ghana if it goes up for auction. here's a bench for you again \_______

Abrantie:

We are not comparing Nigeria to Ghana. We are putting Nigeria, the biggest slum in West Africa, in its place.

LMAOO B!tch please!!.... here's a bench for you \__________

naijathings: Such news is always BIG NEWS in a backward 3rd world country where most of the citizens and illegal immigrants (NIGER REPUBLIC) will never touch a computer till they die while some others get to touch it for the first time at the age of 20 and above. it is sad to see that many Nigerian internet users have only used the internet on a phone and not a proper computer. more sad to note that their internet usage is limited to facebook, 2go and BB. LMAO. some of those with proper hi-tech knowledge of how to use the internet and many short cut keys use it for evil than they use it for good. in a country where you can not walk on the road with your laptop without attracting attention of robbers and police and you better have your bail money in your pocket when going to a cyber cafe.. Anyway, congratulations to the 60 million people who are about to get access to this old thing. by the way, i thought someone said the world would end this year.

Why did you actually comment?

jackbauersballs:

I am NOT in Nigeria...





...Id1ot...

Then F U C K I N G get lost!!!...bye now

Kajina:

ROLMAO!!!

jackbauersballs: What shall it profit a man to have Internet Access but no Electricity?

Person dey use computer without Nepa?

SMH at this Government...

#Clueless

so what exactly are you browsing with? A phone, tablet, laptop that you charged with electricity generated from your generator/Nepa? no?.....Please don't be a nitwit aii

afam4eva:
ROSSIKE, pls this is not the way to go about being patriotic, Just look at the question you asked? Are you not aware that majority of Nigerians now run on generators?

SO USE YOUR GENERATOR AND BROWSE!!!!!!

Kajina: What baffles me is that, 4 artistes were billed to perform in the concert, 1 pulled out and 3 performed. And somebody comes to NL with a misleading topic, and posts “ 40,000+ turn out for P-Squre concert in Ghana". What makes you guys assume the crowd were there to see only P-Square? Do you guys know who Sarkodie and Samini are to Ghanaians, and the crowd they draw to their concerts? Guys, stop tickling yourselves, it is not only about P-Square. They were just one of the performers of the night, so chill!

true...true though , very misleading topic. Frankl, the fact is Sarkodie and samini can never pull a 40,000 crowd on their own, about 75% of that entire crowd are there because of psquare. #Fact

SmoothLIFE:

shhhhhh

I was going to tell them that eventually but, wanted to first show them the reach of Ghanaian music!!!

sarkodie, r2bees and every other ghanaian musician can never pull a crowd like this NEVER!

SmoothLIFE: Ghanaman here,

We do not like Nigerian music more than ours... Ghanaian's are into Azonto and other Ghanaian music. But, if there is a good song we'll listen to it! Ghanaian music is BIGGER than Nigerian music and the Azonto is bigger world wide than anything Nigeria has out right now. Pretty impressive for a country with 1/7th of the population of Nigeria...


P-Square is legit though... This is the song of theirs I like most.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty2advRiWJM

LOL!!! this guy, the only reason azonto "Ghana's pride" got anywhere is because Nigerians actually liked it. If we didn't it would have started and ended in Ghana. Finally, stop dreaming Ghana's whole entertainment industry isn't even as big as half that of Nigeria's. Bye now

Abrantie:

Because your huge population don't have time and money. Y'all too busy looking for fuel for your generators.

what sort of dry joke is this?? please don't even begin to compare Nigeria to Ghana...PLEASE!!!!!

Ezy~p:


WELL TO ME THE ONLY MUSICIAN NIGERIA GOT IS 2FACE THE REST ARE CRAP, SERIOUSLY THEY ARE CRAP

Well thats your opinion

@darknight pretty cool stuff...too scared to race tho, but yea....really nice.

clearly its Tuface, especially by popularity.....almost every black person or African knows the "African queen" song. Most upcoming artist in Nigeria will tell you Tuface is their idol or mentor. Dbanj is quite successful nevertheless.

nnenna.1:


Ok then...why don't you calm down and provide pictures and examples of YOUR visions to show how Nigeria should be? The floor is
open for everybody's contribution.

Nigeria will look like whatever it will look like whenever....

@OP so you just decided to get pictures of first world nations and post them here as Nigeria and Africa's vision?, your level of inferiority's complex disgusts me. .... Oh lets see a few pictures of lagos at the moment ( after 52 years of Nigeria's independence aii)

https://www.nairaland.com/1114951/growing-beauty-lagos-pics

Jamey Maxwell: Unless CORRUPTION is ERADICATED....
Am xorry folkz, buh diz iz still haw our luvly Africa will continue 2 look.

I think its just your neighborhood that looks that way, certainly not where i live

1forall: I would be somewhat disappointed if Da Mayor and saxywale expend their precious cerebral energy and time trying to refute this guy's gross mistalk, lemme handle this
Imagine, we dey talk of current socio-cultural problems birthed by years of repression, diseducation, corruption and misrule dis guy dey post link to 'The Growing Beauty Of Lagos'! It's a shame that some of us still think infrastructure building = development

I saw the topic yesterday and found I had no comment to make as e be say na mediocrity level be our own excellence now. The attached is from the collection of pictures posted there, abeg tell me what represents Lagos' growing beauty there?

Who will educate the Nigerian citizen?

This was the only picture you could post?...why did'nt you post most of them so people can see how much of a pathological liar the poster is... rubbish

saxywale:


very typical, posting pics of mediocre infrastructures built by your Chinese masters. Dude, u need to take a trip outa Nigeria for once in your miserable life and know how government is being run in sane countries. mofo.

Okay lets even forget bout comparing Nigeria to Bosnia, chenchen or France....would you, with your roach sized brain compare Nigeria to Malaysia or Singapore? note that they were colonised and oppressed by colonial masters as well.

LOOOOOL!!...DUDE PLEASE!!! about the travel outside of Nigeria ish.....ummm you know what? never mind...

Yes Malaysia and Singapore were colonized and obviously those countries are more developed. you should also understand that if Nigeria had a government like the present one, we would not even be having this discussion. Well you can go on and on dissing Nigeria frankly you're a nonentity. umm yea!, quick question; is any of the countries you mentioned a "first world country?"....heres a bench \_________ i'll wait while you try to figure this one out.

omanzo02:
Dude,
Quit the 'I like bronze' behaviour, If u have the experience the OP have had, u can't settle for less, Nigeria is developing negatively, our leaders have no clue what development is all about.

errmmmm guy shut it when you don't know anything aii. I'm an undergrad international student studying in US yea, so you see I've practically lived here for about two years. I only go to Nigeria in summer or for Christmas. that aside, I travel alot with my mum or dad and on my own (vacations,excursions and all that good stuff). My obvious point is that nobody should compare Nigeria to any western/ European country...I find it very dumb; its kinda like comparing Mercedes Benz to Kia or UNILAG to AUN. Everyone knows that graduating from UNILAG with an excellent transcript holds more water than that of AUN regardless that they are both pretty good schools. Nigeria is still a developing country and for all the F O O L S that have been saying the "i like bronze" ish, you should know that you have to start somewhere to get somewhere. Nigeria cannot automatically have the best roads in the world, the lowest unemployment rate, the best airports and all, just like that after a whole lot went wrong in its earlier years. Oh you think our leaders have no clue?, i'm sure you're in the best position to run this country no?...... pleeease heres a bench for you \________. If by producing the Richest black man Alive, the Richest African woman, the most educated graduates, the 7th fastest growing economy in the world, a middle class, biggest entertainment industry in Africa etc means developing negatively then sure. Finally you must be a complete retaaard to think that nothing has changed in Nigeria, even in the past 4 years a whole lot has changed, a whole lot...... and Nigeria would keep on growing; nobody is settling for bronze, we'd keep pushing till we get gold. bye now

saxywale:
True, I was formerly a "dont say anything bad about my country or I kick u in d ass" over patriotic Nigerian. Well, I stepped my foot on European soil and it dawned on that Nigeria had been developing in the negative direction.

In other words, you are extremely dumb. For starters how old is that country you went to?, were they exploited? Like! How would you compare Nigeria to some european country you visited? Nitwit!

Da Mayor:

I completely understand your frustration and sympathise with you, really. As they say, "if you cant debate them, smear them". A technique employed by the Nigerian govt, hence it is not unlikely it rubbed off on some.

LOL, i can only laugh.... Frankly im not your type that virtually lives on nairaland but i dont have a class now so lets have fun for a bit aii.

Look at the pictures on this other thread and tell me which lagos you actually went to, that leaving the airport there were numerous pot holes and all that funny stuff you said. https://www.nairaland.com/1114951/growing-beauty-lagos-pics

Da Mayor: It was meant to be a pleasant trip back home after a while abroad. As with everyone in my shoes I was quite excited, especially after all I’d heard (I emphasize ‘heard’) about gallant strides made by Mr. Goodluck Jonathan (representing the Federal Republic of Nigeria) and Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (representing Lagos State Government). And so I got on a plane, destination Nigeria, all smiles on my face. Well, I didn’t have to leave Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) before those smiles began to whither. T

The baggage arrival hall of the MMIA can best be described as ‘hell fire’ preparatory room. With the intense heat in that hall, it is amazing no one ever faints on arrival. However, I must commend the customs and NDLEA people for sparing my luggage the usual pretense search in hope for a ‘settlement’ (though I noticed them staring in my direction, but I guess after the grueling torture I had endured at the immigrations/ baggage hall, my face didn’t encourage such).

Coming out of the airport, it was business as usual. Cars parked in places clearly marked ‘NO PARKING’. Shamefully, even ‘oyibo’ knew the routine of greasing the hands of the police officers tasked with enforcing the NO Parking policy, blatantly causing untold hardship to law abiding motorists who make use of the designated car park. This was obviously not a good sign giving the ‘touted’ ongoing police reforms. I must state at this point, it is a huge joke if those in government believe that structure can become a ‘Hub’ for the sub region given its dilapidated state, and its lack of basic amenities and services found in major international airports worldwide. Anyway, I was not going to allow this little setback mould my opinion of the government, even though these lapses gave me reason enough to do so.

The ride out of the airport was heart breaking. The government’s media propaganda began to fall apart before my very eyes on day one. A road meant to be the pride and joy of the nation was its shame and disgrace. It was Littered with countless pot-holes, and commercial vehicles operating with reckless abandon under the watchful eyes (blessing) of law enforcement agents. It’s a literal case of spreading our dirty laundry in public view. I believe charity begins at home, and you cannot be talking about foreign investors when you cannot guarantee basic social amenities.

Veering off into state roads, I began to wonder what all the praise singing was all about. Had Lagosians been so intimidated into singing state government praise songs? I was, and am still yet to point my finger on one genuine people oriented policy of this administration. Few weeks into my vacation, I developed a good mind to pack up and return to my adopted home, with a genuine aim to convert it to a permanent one. Sadly, for the same reason which has kept many of our best and brightest brains in foreign lands.

Lagosians can best be described as a people under siege by the Action Congress of Nigeria ACN (popularly called Asiwaju Company of Nigeria) government. Daily living in fear of being ‘Caught’ by state empowered agents (even though some could best be described as thugs) for just going about their business. “Oga we catch you dey do this”, “Madam we catch you dey do that”. One day Lagosians will begin to get caught for just walking the streets (don’t think it’s a ludicrous suggestion, as we are gradually being caged in the name of toll gates). The new state traffic law which can best be described as draconian serves to further oppress the people, leaving us at the mercy of LASTMA, KAI, and the many uniforms I couldn’t keep track of. With clauses like jail term for first time traffic offenses, while corrupt public officials get a pat on the back for embezzlement, it’s easy to imagine the caliber of people in leadership.

Before you take me for a PDP hired gun, the only reason the Lagos state government is at the receiving end is because I’m a citizen by birth and naturalization hence am well within my rights to express my candid opinion. Let me cease this opportunity to commend the Lagos state government on the environmental beautification taking place. However if we are to seriously consider the facts, we will realize that the government has not been sincere. How can a reasonable government lease/sell the serene water view (which should be public space) of Ozumba Mbadiwe to cronies for purpose of building hotels, and relegate Lagosians to under bridge parks in the middle of nowhere. Lagosians cannot even walk public beaches in their country without paying exorbitant fee. What freebie do we actually receive from the government? I have been fortunate to travel and live in a few West African and European countries, and have never paid to walk a beach. That’s a story for another day.

Nigerians have to be one of the easiest set to govern. Just throw in a pacifier every once in a while to calm their nerves. Come to think of it, there’s nothing wrong with pacifying the people. However our government’s idea of a pacifier isn’t tax breaks or policy change that impacts positively on the ordinary man, rather its increasing fuel prices to divert attention from subsidy probes, or threatening to introduce five thousand (5000) naira notes to take away attention from pressing issues such as corruption, embezzlement, bad governance etc. Basically, introducing punitive measures for daring to question them. This is a tried and tested weapon employed by the Nigerian government and seems to work all the time. Our only form of leadership is turning a blind eye to everything provided it doesn’t affect their (Politicians) businesses or interests.

Governments around the world carry out reforms, but our idea of reforms is introducing policies to breed new monsters which facilitate corruption. How else do you explain the many parastatals and commissions littered around states, and most notoriously the federal capital territory, sometimes with incoherent functions? All equipped with Chairman, director et al. occupying gigantic buildings which have to be serviced and maintained.

It is a common sight to see staff of these ‘monsters’ at home on working weekdays, or attending to their own private businesses while waiting for ‘allocation’ to arrive. The Chairmen of these commissions are mostly nothing but ‘government boys’ who have been compensated for loyalty to the ruling party.

I couldn’t help but listen to the modus operandi of one of such commissions (NDDC) as highlighted by the governor of Akwa-Ibom state (Godswill Akpabio) during the just concluded silver jubilee celebration of the state, broadcast live on satellite television, as he opened a can of worms by giving a detailed description of how deep corruption is entrenched in the commission with respect to contract allocation and performance. Till this day, I am not aware of any investigation launched by the various anti corruption agencies concerning his allegations.

The people of Lagos state, and indeed Nigerians have been so consumed by their daily struggles that they seem to have lost their sense of humanity. How else do you explain senseless hatred road users exhibit towards each other daily? Policemen incarcerating innocent citizens because he/she refused to part with a bribe? Security men at fast food joints and banks incessantly requesting a tip for ushering you in? And the cold blooded murder by the Aluu clan, of four students of the University of Port Harcourt, which has become known as the Alu 4 (one of many murders we as a nation must surely account for)? As we can see, these are pure cases of the ordinary man’s inhumanity to his kind. What has become of the mantra “do unto others as you would have others do unto you?” I believe the change we seek starts with me and you. The way we treat our fellow citizens on the streets, our colleagues at work place, etc, does go a long way in shaping society.

I dare say that Nigerians deserve the government we get. Majority of which are beneficiaries of the corrupt system, either directly or indirectly. Inwardly endorsing the corrupt ways as it puts food on the table, and outwardly condemning it. Little wonder people cannot protest when three expensive toll gates are put on their 46km stretch daily route. Or when I have to pay money to park at the airport and the roads in the car park serves only to damage my car. Or when touts (also known as area boys, however I choose to use the term criminals) extort Nigerians daily, and return a large chunk of their loot to their government god fathers.

Oh!! I weep for my people. In the words of Genghis Khan, “I (punitive leaders) am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you”. I am inclined to believe this is the situation we find ourselves.

In summary, a vast majority of our leaders are wicked. Fitting the biblical description of Satan. Coming only to steal, kill and destroy (all of which have been done to our beloved country). It would be a sad thing, and an injustice indeed to go through this man made hell here in Nigeria and end up in hell fire with this caliber of leaders. I am convinced the hottest part of hell awaits such people.

People who divert money meant to alleviate suffering of the poor and convert it to personal use. People who channel free drugs donated by foreign governments meant to support HIV patients, and sell them at exorbitant prices to the sick and afflicted. People who drive their exotic cars (and private jets as seems to be the norm) bought with ill-gotten wealth in the midst of abject poverty, and foolishly drive them on roads/ airports they have neglected. People who allocate phony road contracts knowing nothing will be done only to embezzle money. People who refuse to implement meaningful policy for fear of their loot source being cut off.

To such I ask; what has become of your conscience? How can you take a dump where you sleep/eat!!!!! As much as the white man promotes corruption abroad (so we claim), he can never bring it home as that’s where he will retire. That’s the home of his wife and kids. For our leaders, it’s the opposite.

Nigeria indeed is a land of opportunity. I know a man who was worth twenty naira in year 1999, and today is one of the world’s richest men. I know few others who run major corporations without any history of a start up. There has to be something about these types of opportunity. Opportunities that don’t follow the laws of nature. I leave you to guess what has fuelled these ‘all of a sudden’ success stories. Little wonder the youth are no longer interested in a formal education, as they have figured out the formula to instant success.

I have taken time to read biographies of success stories worldwide, and found that they have one thing in common, ‘History’. Men and women who started from humble beginnings, working hard to grow businesses into major corporations. I compare with my Nigerian entrepreneurs and what I see is instant success stories with no history. Probing further, you find that the chairman or directors consist of ‘former governor’, ‘former minister’, ‘former government official’, etc. Indeed our anticorruption agencies have their work cut out.

The rate, magnitude, and impunity at which corruption is perpetuated in Nigeria is second to none. Mildly put, if we were in a marathon, Nigeria can afford to take a whole day rest without fear of being sighted. Hence it is quite laughable and insulting when Mr. President tells Nigerians and the world that our war against corruption is second only to the United States (still laughing as I type this). Let’s take a basic case that affects us all. I heard the National Electrical Regulatory (NERC) boss publicly state that the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) service charge is illegal. However, Nigerians are still mandated to pay this absurd bill. It is not rocket science to figure that some ‘oga’ is benefiting from this charge, hence the inability of government and its regulatory agencies to curb this extortion.

What has become of our power probes? Petroleum subsidy probes? And other such spectacles as I choose to call them?

Despite all these short comings, deep down in the heart of most Nigerians in Diaspora, there is a strong desire to return home. To be around friends and loved ones. To not be bothered by freakish weather, extreme boredom, racism, and all the ‘abroad inconveniences’. That is why we follow developments back home with keen interest. Hoping to hear news that will encourage our desire to return home. Unfortunately, everyday outdoes the previous with respect to bad and absurd news. Boko haram trying to outdo MEND, Aluu clan trying to outdo boko haram, corruption trying to employ more people, ‘million man armed robbery gang’ terrorizing a state, state finance ministry broken into and all files and backups carted away while the police argued which post had jurisdiction to respond, petrol subsidy saga still playing out while culprits are still handed fresh allocations, fuel scarcity becoming a normal way of life, Pastor competing with business men, the list goes on. Is it too much to ask for a better life?

Ours is a peculiar case that defies logic. There is a complete feeling of hopelessness among the youth in the midst of opportunity, lack in the midst of plenty, and thirst in the midst of the rivers. If this isn’t a curse/ punishment, then I have never seen one. My pen has ceased to write as it weeps for my country men and women.

Indeed, only God can save from such mess!!

Dudeeee!!!! This is utter rubbish! and please stay back wherever you are next time aii. Like!, imagine the ode! You didnt see anything good in Nigeria?, you must live in heaven then..... ( '_')

SELFWORTH: Interesting . Her face looks a different colour to her hand.

How did she manage to buy and own a oil bloc? They aren't exactly available at Tejuosho market ?

All these wealth? What can you do with it all ? You enter the world empty handed and leave empty handed .

Not impressed . I won't exactly call her a self-made millionaire .

Shut the f u c k up ..... Broke a s s ode!
