What you miss out here is some of the bulk 50 naira collected is going to IGP through several route. That is part of the money the IGP used to procure 2 suvs for Aisha Buhari and the issue has been swept under the carpet. I once argue with some people that politicians determine the destine of a any country. In Africa, constitution is for the poor and with this, development is totally buried. Imagine a tout becoming LGA caretaker chairman for 2 to 4 years, and within that period, he amass wealth than a lawyer, professor, doctor, civil servant of close to 40 years in service. Pathetic! In house of representatives and senate, some of them has dual citizenship including the speaker Gbajabiamila which is against the constitution, is that not a criminal offence? Odogu9195: 2 Likes |

GidiWoodsMan:europe as a whole do not have one single natural resources to sustain there system for a long period they have faired enough for hundreds of years but still functioning, Uk thrives on colonialism, imagine if every country in Europe’s has 20% of the resources that’s Nigeria has today, Russia became defunct because they had fought 2 world wars coupled with sanctions so its normal for an average EU citizen to move to Germany, Holland and Uk |

hustlelegit:not just hypocrites, COWARDS!!!, not that I support Sowore (due to his demands which are also seemingly borderline on sentiments and not tangible enough to revolt, my personal opinion though) we love life so much that it's better to live as a slave than die trying to fight for our freedom, it's so bad that even when someone dies or is punished for trying to fight for our freedom, we join the slave masters to despise him, worse if he dies, we spit on his grave and drag his children through the mud, we are the architects of our miseries and the masters of our captivity... we are all dullards so we vote in fellow dullards... 12 Likes |

xerxes456: Oga Nigerian's aren't COWARDS. The last "heroes" we had are called BIAFRA and you know what happened to them right? Massive rape, famine, hunger, malnutrition, slaughter of whole villages, maiming and at the end what happened? NOTHING! Oh, lest I forget, to pour salt on their injury, the government collected all the money they had in the bank and gave each bank account owner 20 pounds irrespective of how much they had in their account before the war. This is why till early 2000s, Igbo people didn't use bank accounts but rather hid their money under the rug, bed, in the ground - till armed robbers started doing withdrawals. 8 Likes |

thebosstrevor: Really? I think your question should be why do Nigerians do well outside of Nigeria? Niggur take a seat. Nigeria does not encourage talent. No development whatsoever. Then you head up to an interview where they require candidates to have 10years experience. Are you kidding me? How the Bleep do you want candidates to have 10 years experience, when no one will give them a chance. Next time you have a ridiculous question such as the above, do some research first.

ednut1:am a Ghanaian and I 100%endorse your statement. The world is like a food chain. The Stronger ones feed on the weaker ones.Currently since the West controls all these economies and power which they strategically planned for centuries since 1470s when they landed and invaded the continent, institutionalized and mentally and physically enslaving the people, they continue to dominate. Any single nation that decided to rebel is bombarded with propaganda, enormous trade sanctions, turning it's own people against it's leaders,etc.They literally kill or finance a coup to overthrow stubborn leaders.They divide the continent into 54 weaker and perceived independence and sovereign nations and later played along to grant these created nations false independence. They still feed on our resources to feed their factories and refineries in their snow riddled nations.They currently see China as a major threat and competitor so they feed these smaller neighbouring Chinese states and call them The Asian Tigers.Far East nations namely Singapore, Taiwan,Hong Kong,South Korea,Malaysia and use them as developed puppets and allies and fill these nations with their military bases to frustrate China their long lost puppet who now rivals them.Saudi Arabia is also the leader of the Islamic world and richer oil state and with great influence in the arab world with UAE,Kuwait, and others acting as their partners to regulate oil prices so their military threat, "The Sovient" now Russia and Iran (leader of the Islamic shites are controlled and tamed.Africa unfortunately can not be empowered since we are their natural resources sources to keep financing their fake lives.The West were savages and barbarians during the Roman Empire era buh now they are seen as demi gods with their language, way of living,spreading across the globe. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

The truth is that ordinarily blacks are not up there when it comes to intellect. A lot of indicies point to that fact such as poverty, life expectancy, etc but my big one that ultimately proves blacks are not intellectually competitive, is venture, exploration and exploitation. We are at the absolute bottom of the tree and it is no surprise we were taken in slavery in mass numbers (till today), but taking no one, we were colonised in mass, colonising no one, till date we have been exploited by all (even by nations on the same standing just a few decades ago), exploiting none in return. This can only be about a race that is not as mentally competent, a race that is incapable of organising itself into viable groupings, effective societies, with a common, positive purpose. Some say this has biblical origins but when you consider that amongst black nations, the more you have socities bearing dissimilar tongues, the more discordant, inhibited and ultimately dispondent such societies are such as Nigeria then there may be a point there. Thus in a nutshell Nigeria is the poster child of what is wrong with the black race because we have the largest concentration of black 'models' in the world, the largest concentration of 'not so brilliant folks' on earth. Nigeria is more complex than the whole African continent and more. Can Africa ever come together as one....Nigeria is more complex than that. The result speaks for itself. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Blackvic1: USA is an example. Lots of dumb people there. However, USA is pretty old. So, they've had time to develop. Their citizens also have more guns than our navy, army and police put together. So, the government cannot act any how. Everything is about checks and balance. Without counter force, even saint Michael will do any how. USA has been bullying iran, iraq for decades because those guys can't do nothing. But when it comes to China and Russia, they'll dialogue because if they do anyhow dem go see anyhow. But no be so for 9ja. Any vagabond in power can wake up and declare absolutely anything without consequence. See example: Ex Vagabond in power sold a 150m vehicle to himself for less than 8million. https://www.nairaland.com/5454327/mohammed-abubakar-sold-n150m-armoured And until that is fixed, 9ja will remain on this stormy path 3 Likes 1 Share |
