.... until most of them experience life outside Nigeria, they won't understand and keep on dreaming, fantasizing impossibility.

Let him keep wailing Abroadians don't want good for Nigeria and Nigerians.... he's Jon Snow.

A piece of Tomato is 1dhr at Grocery where I am living, that is equivalent to 200 naira [black market rate].

Baba just take a look at the figures up there.

Delta with a population of 5.6million (per 2006 census) gets 28 billion naira from FAAC , while....

Bayelsa with a population of 1.7million (per 2006 census) gets 20 billion naira from FAAC withing same period.

Yet it took the donation of other state governors, private companies, NGO's and individuals to cushion the effect of the recent flood incidents on the residents of the state.

If I no see Alams, Jonathan, Tim Silva, Dickson and Diri inside fire dey burn like tomorrow no dey, I go get issues with the angels wey dey duty when I reach there

This is another thing people have said on this thread but it is simply not true. The dip in production was the lowest since 2009. The reason is simple. The same issues that bedeviled OBJs govt into Yar Adua's and stopped after GEJ became HOS, started again after GEJ lost.

Can you guess what it was? If you can, you'll know what SLS meant when he said corruption will fight back.

I have always maintained that Federal Government is the best performing level of Govt in Nigeria

If their performance were to mirror that of State Government and LGAs, the country would have collapsed already

It's funny how you always end up arguing against yourself.

Real talk, you might need some help.

I don't know what you're talking about.
Look at this table here. India is the world's 5th biggest economy in the world.

Again, number 5 in the entire world.
All their economic index far surpassess ours. These are people that experienced this tremendous growth in just 2 decades.
Trying to use personal anecdotes to show that Nigeria is better than India is a logical fallacy.

India is better than Nigeria in every single metric used to measure growth.

Ibime:


India GDP per Capita is similar to Nigerias

Their big GDP is simply due to their massive population

They are comparable in poverty for the most part

I have said a number of times that only if a strong-willed politician can create regional governments, that's when the country will move forward.

That's the real solution but I don't see that happening any time soon with the many greedy politicians we've currently.

You don't take time to read some of my posts and some of your posts to see the ridiculousness of your takes on some issues.

As someone posted earlier, at THIS POINT, going to vote for a third party candidate is a waste of time when you know the impossible odds of that candidates number making a dent not to talk of winning, however one can still enact change in other people's mind by relentlessly educating and informing others of the need for change both in person and on social media. On my watsapp, facebook, twitter and instagram page, I constantly advocate for radical change in our political and religious mindset. Overtime, more will key into this.

I have made a lot of people around me start questioning what they believe, that's effective work if you ask me.

Apart form petrodollar, hope you know that Saudi realizes billions of dollars every year through mumus that keep visiting the country for religious tourism.

If many of our ancestors in this part of the world were clever, cunning, and pugnacious like the warmongers and expansionists that designed Islam, they would have also imported Olohun to the nooks and crannies of the world as the Supreme God.

And revenues from mumus that do pilgrimage every year to Nigeria to worship our local deities like Osun, Yemoja, Olohun, Chineke as God will be humongous and help spur the country to development.

But African traditional worshippers don't realize that no religion can grow without things like violence (blood shed) and distortion of historical facts, vices their counterparts in Christianity and Islam had long mastered.

Generally, many religious people can't see the danger of wallowing in worshipping the gods/goddesses.

Religion unites people? When a father can even kill or starve his own child for having the guts to challenge religious beliefs or think independently.

Well, this sort of discussion isn't even worth having anyways when most don't even realize that they're slaves and that they've been scammed, indoctrinated from childhood to believe lies.

Smart people, on reaching adulthood, would critique all those dubious religious beliefs they've been fed with from childhood and subject them to scrutiny and test of logic.

Religion (mental slavery) will always limit a person's brain development and will always limit a nation's progress.

In 2023 general elections, religion will yet again be one of the key factors that will determine the people that will be chosen to lead the country in various capacities.

So, those that can see and think deeply know the Nigerian situation is really a hopeless one. The rot is too deep.

That's why those that are financially capable are doing everything possible to leave the sinking ship or keeping one foot here and the other in a developed country.

By 2023, a number of regulars here will have left the country, and the brain drain will keep on taking place. But most religious people believe praying for a better Nigeria is the way forward.

ON this I agree.
FG is a Saint next to State.
I can't blame the LGAs yet coz they have no proper autonomy for now

A001:

What's your point really?

Itsrm:


His point is that you're talking from both sides of your mouth.

If you agree that the situation is a hopeless one, what is the problem in collecting 5k or a De Rica of rice.

A001:

You and the person you quoted are short-sighted and lack simple understanding of issues.

Believing Nigeria will develop is a hopeless situation.

The solution is either regional government or breakup.

Outside Agbero wahala, lagos is the safest place in Nigeria as of today.

Probably those who should be robbing and kidnapping people in Lagos are those Agberos. After chasing cars and trucks from 4:00am they don’t have time and strength to plan and prepare for crimes.

Before you sound stupid, I never said criminals are not in Lagos, I said the rate of crime in Lagos against its population is less.

A001:
The roots of Nigeria's problems lie in religion, the issue of forced marriage, bad leadership, corruption, and the selfish need of the average Nigerian to put their needs and those of their family first.

I am helping you manage your expectations like I learned to do. You guys are so bullish on Peter Obi like I was concerning Buhari. He is not who you think he is.

All three major marketers like Oando, AP, Total, Bovas are still selling fuel 180.

It's the small chain marketers that are jacking up the price of fuel.

Why not? Anyways, I believe that this is type of statement you make when the only time you're ever interested in your countries politics is the next presidential election.
