Game Over! Nigeria is officially finished.

England did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1830 and 1960 and after..

they took the billions they made from Nigeria and other places they colonized and used it to build England they did not use it to build Nigeria and the other places they colonized.


the South Africa you see today was build by black South Africans.

In the early 80s and 90s, South Africa was still going through A:partheid.

After S.A Independence in 1994, black south africans could get better paying jobs and govt jobs. Black south Africans also inherited a good infrastructural planning system and they should be credited for sticking to that system and building better things on that system..

Nigeria's annual budget is $18B while S:outh Africa's annual budget is $150B so obviously S.A has more money for development than Nigeria.

Continue living in the past. South Africa suffered the worst when it comes to colonialism, but today they've moved on and is now a country Nigerians wants to visit.

Be sensible

Honestly, we're losing it all in this country.

Nigeria with a population of over 200 million people should naturally be a place where people beg to visit. Rather, some thinks it even senseless to mention the name.

Where did it all go wrong with Nigeria?

Many of these men knew Tinubu has nothing to offer this country but would rather keep mute and be sentimental through tribe.

Truth is, hunger knows no tribe, state, region or country.

Kazakhstan Muslims are Shia/shitte Muslims that are very peaceful and you can't point to any terror group or organization that are related to them. This is unlike the Sunni Muslims that have Boko haram, Alquida, Hezbollah, hamas, talibans, ISIS and ISWAP. Shia Muslims are very peaceful.

Country of head slammers abi?

Nigerians go use their own go spoil show for others and themselves because Kazakhstan na European country.

Japa things are now on everybody's mind.

Kazakhstan is looking to attract more tourists and boost its tourism sector revenue, which has already attracted $860 million of investments in 2023, up 44% from the same period last year.

According to the Minister of Tourism and Sports Yermek Marzhikpayev, over three million Kazakh citizens travelled within the country in the first half of the year, 400,000 more than last year. He also revealed that the country is looking to attract 9 million domestic tourists and 1.4 million foreign tourists before the end of 2023.

“We need breakthrough projects in the tourism sector,” Marzhikpayev said. “Over the past three years, investments worth $4 billion have been attracted to the industry. More than 400 facilities have been built, and nearly 7,000 permanent jobs have been created.”

Marzhikpayev also stressed the importance of integrating local historical monuments, picturesque natural landscapes, and other historical heritage into tourism products. He also called for simplifying the stay of foreign tourists in Kazakhstan and digitizing the entire range of services for domestic tourism

Nigerians can now enter Kazakhstan without visas.

As part of its efforts to attract more foreign tourists, Kazakhstan has announced that Nigerians will now be able to enter the country without visas for short stays (tourism). However, it is still required to obtain an electronic travel authorization (eTA or eVisa) before entering Kazakhstan.

The eTA is a quick and easy online application process that takes only a few minutes to complete. Nigerians can apply for an eTA on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan.

With the introduction of the eTA, Nigerians can now plan their trips to Kazakhstan with more confidence and ease. This is a positive development for both countries, as it will promote tourism and cultural exchange.

Argentina superstar Lionel Messi is expected to lift his eighth Ballon d’Or award this month after the winners for both the male and female awards 2023 were leaked.

According to Spanish media SPORT, Messi will be handed the most prestigious of individual accolades 2023 Ballon d’Or at a ceremony hosted by France Football in Paris on October 30.

Young and enterprising stars like Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe have all been tipped to compete with Messi after a superb year.


Haaland won the Treble with Manchester City last season after scoring a record 52 goals in 53 games. Mbappe bagged a hat-trick in the World Cup final against Messi’s Argentina and performed well during an underwhelming campaign for PSG.

However, Messi is due to scoop the award for his efforts in winning the World Cup for Argentina in Qatar.

Messi has reportedly been informed of his victory this time around ahead of the ceremony taking place in Paris.

The Argentine and former Barcelona superstar already has seven Ballon d’Or to his name – more than any player in football history. He is now set to scoop the eight Ballon d’Or.

The 36-year-old former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain playmaker joined Inter Miami in July and immediately set MLS alight with strings of exciting performances.

Nigeria is at a crossroad. Who can save her?

Fellow Nigerians, once again, this is not the best of times in our dear beloved country, Nigeria. After we had thought, gladly and gleefully, that no government could be worse than the recent Buhari administration, we are now confronted by yet another monstrosity. In less than two months in power, Tinubu’s government started collapsing whatever positive legacy Buhari left behind. Yet, we would have assumed and expected a President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be far better prepared and more visionary than Buhari and his lacklustre team was. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case. While I’m not about to give an overview of Tinubu’s wobbly stewardship so far, and so soon, I’m constrained to put my thoughts and unequivocal opinion on the ongoing Tinubugate on paper. I’m doing this in my personal capacity as a Nigerian citizen and as a true and truthful friend of Tinubu. I believe only a true friend can look you straight, eyeballs to eyeballs, in the face, and tell one of the world’s most powerful men, the Gospel truth.

I have no doubts in my mind that the majority of Tinubu’s so-called friends and ubiquitous hangers-on are pretentious hypocrites. Tinubu has also not helped himself by encouraging both royals and puppets alike to worship at his feet and turning him into a demi-god. I’m convinced that they serve him no useful purpose. I will establish this fact in a minute.

The Tinubugate did not begin yesterday. It started after Tinubu returned from exile and metamorphosed into the Governor of Lagos State in 1999 and instantly became the biggest beneficiary of our epic battles in exile during the NADECO days. In all honesty, we were all happy that he was amply compensated for his salutary efforts.

But unknown to us, trouble was brewing. We didn’t know how or what led the legal luminary, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, to exhume all manner of “false declarations” contained in the forms submitted for Tinubu’s gubernatorial bid. On October 11, 1999, just months after Tinubu contested and won his election, Chief Fawehinmi’s powerful interview was published on the cover of Newswatch magazine, with the screaming headline: WHY TINUBU MUST GO – Gani Fawehinmi. The fearless Lawyer also granted another interview on the cover of The Source magazine, with an even more acerbic headline: “TINUBU IS A CRIMINAL – Gani, and a rider below: Deserves 10 years in jail! On top of the same magazine was published a worrisome story: The Tinubu Story: THE SOURCE UNDER THREAT. This was the first tell-tale sign of the new and toxic Lagos State to come, a Lagos of one man, one permanent ruler, reminiscent of the Sicilian Mafia, which we privately rechristened the “Cosa Nostra” of Nigeria.
Some members of our “exile confraternity” were naturally alarmed. But we were somehow timid and, thus, carelessly dismissed Gani’s case as, at the very best, alarmist and unnecessarily meddlesome. A few of us who were very close to Gani Fawehinmi knew it would be difficult and of no effect, to approach him and try to persuade him to drop the case. The other sad revelation was when some of Tinubu’s commissioners started fretting and sweating profusely. God is my witness. Many of them, out of panic, about the imminent impeachment of

The other sad revelation was when some of Tinubu’s commissioners started fretting and sweating profusely. God is my witness. Many of them, out of panic, about the imminent impeachment of Tinubu, were, stylishly, dissociating themselves from their boss. We heard all kinds of gibberish, from some of them, who are even in government today: “we brought our integrity into this government, we can’t allow anyone to tarnish it…”

Let us digress a little. One of them, extremely close to Tinubu, was the first to tell us about “the falsification of Tinubu’s age, the identity of his original parents from Iragbiji, his forged academic records”, and so on. This chain-smoker claimed absolute knowledge of Tinubu’s life. He told us in my Accra home that anyone who tells Tinubu the truth is instantly marked down as an enemy, so he has stopped telling him the truth. With this kind of mindset, you can imagine what quality of advice Tinubu gets regularly.

Then, out of the blues, my very daring and loyal friend, Tokunbo Afikuyomi, decided to bite the bullet on behalf of Tinubu. What he did was reminiscent of the “lamb of God who took away the sins of the earth…” He, like a kamikaze soldier, took absolute responsibility for the errors contained in Tinubu’s files. Miraculously, Tinubu was saved, and we were all relieved. Everyone is asking me how has Tinubu compensated Afikuyomi, and my answer is I don’t know.

It is noteworthy that Festus Keyamo had jumped on the bandwagon of those seeking to impeach Tinubu at that time. This is another story for another day. I cannot wait for my memoirs to be ready in order to put names and faces to the main dramatis personae.

Let’s now fast forward to the year 2002. There was a popular magazine known as The Week. It planned a cover story on Tinubu. Somehow, the story leaked out to then Governor of Lagos State. Tinubu immediately, and with automatic alacrity, reached out to the Publisher of the magazine, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and pleaded that the scandalous story should be dropped. Out of love and respect for his friend, Atiku reached out to The Week magazine Management and got the story to be stepped down. The Editors were miffed by this development, and in the aftermath, led to the resignation and exit of the Editor, Mr Simon Kolawole.

The meat of my epistle today is that there are many didactic lessons to pick from this Tinubugate. Tinubu eventually left office in 2007. But he never really left Lagos alone. He became Nigeria’s ultimate godfather, who determined, almost to the pin, who gets what. Many of his acolytes knew he was capable of turning them into emergency Billionaires and were ready to stand ramrod on his mandate. This, I believe, is the crux of the matter.

Now, why do I blame Tinubu and his die-hard fans? Two major reasons are carelessness (or is it negligence?) and recklessness. Why would a man who left office since 2007, 16 long years ago, fail to clean up the records that nearly got him impeached in the first instance? And given the fact that he couldn’t have personally handled those documents himself, why did the hordes of minions claiming to love him till eternity fail to deliver a world-class file for his documents?

The Laws of Nigeria never insisted that a Presidential candidate must attend a university. In the last 16 years, Tinubu should have ensured his personal documents were thoroughly checked to be squeaky clean before submitting them to INEC. If necessary, he could have easily gone back to school (Atiku still went to school recently to update and upgrade himself) and try to erase all the previous controversial details. As for his conflicting dates of birth, he should have settled for a preferred birthday date, like President Olusegun Obasanjo did. It can never be a crime that a child’s parent did not record or obtain his birth certificate. As for claiming to have worked for Deloitte and others, he should have limited himself to “I have worked for big multinationals globally and they truly enjoyed my services and valued my contributions” without mentioning specific companies and dates.

As for parentage, I would have told the world about my humble background and poor parentage. It is nothing to be ashamed of, and it is not a crime to be adopted and acquire the name of one’s foster-parents. Everyone knew how Chief MKO Abiola played the role of a father figure in my life, including travelling all the way to Ijebu-Igbo and Ijebu-Ode for my wedding in 1992, but that never stopped me from celebrating my poor parents. And if there were peculiar reasons for obliterating ones original family history, that can still be easily explained. A public figure cannot afford to keep too many secrets. For far too long, Tinubu has blatantly refused to open up his private life to the members of the public. The repercussions of this stifness have been hugely calamitous to him and his immediate family. With more openness, this could have been avoided.

Let me now go to the specific handling of the Chicago scandals. For me, Tinubu and his noisy supporters have made matters far worse than it should have been. Only his blind and shameless supporters will continue to argue over a saga that started over five decades ago. All of us who knew the truth and looked the other way brought this calamity upon our country. And it is grossly unfair.

Instead of Tinubu standing up as a man to offer sincere and unreserved apologies to Nigerians, his “brood of vipers” are busy insulting the long-suffering people of Nigeria, and studiously rubbing salt and pepper on our festering wounds. This is most unfair. This can only aggravate the anger of our citizens, especially the youths.

The first thing Tinubu should do is to climb down his high horse and experience reality for once. No man, no matter how powerful, can achieve everything by force, all the time. The popular story of EFUNSETAN ANIWURA, IYALODE IBADAN is very instructive. Power is transient.

I’m certain there is a hand of God in this latest eruption about Tinubu’s record, which has refused to go away. It is no longer about Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso, Sowore and others. This is about Nigeria. Atiku has played his part honorably at home and abroad. What he achieved in Chicago was a monumental victory for our democracy. Because of Atiku, many Nigerians will have their pride restored. The burden has already been transferred to all of us. Whatever the outcome of the Supreme Court case, it is obvious to me that a new era beckons for us all except for those who choose to be voluntary slaves.

I wish there is enough time for Atiku, he would have started with the GCE A-Level certificate which is without doubt a stolen certificate. Also, I wish the stuff from FBI about the DRUGGIE is ready, all these shits about him attending CSU would have been a thing of the past.

Because from what I see, the judiciary is in tinubu's pocket. He's stolen a lot of money to influence them. Even here on nairaland, his supporters here are just harping on the fact that he graduated from CSU and closing their eyes on other issues such as the fake diploma cert. and the stolen GCE.

Nigeria is at a crossroads, who can save her?

Mr Morka or Mouka foam still don't get the gist.

Nobody said Tinubu didn't graduate from CSU, but that the certificate he submitted to INEC is fake.

Why are all APC supporters very stupid?

They can't comprehend simple thing.

Quack journalism!
Agreed things are very tough and people are tightening their budgets,but in this report,only 1 person sampled was used as a yardstick to write and conclude on the reduction to 2G.
In my area for eg,I have not seen anyone buying 2G phone,many people are not just buying new smart phones,managing the ones they already have.
Everything about way we do things in Nigeria is just guesswork and there is this penchant for throwing figures around based not on a single element of fact or research.

We still have a long way to go in this country.

Patricia Ogele, a 24-year-old sales girl, had reduced her expenses since November 2022 in a bid to get a smartphone for herself around August of this year. But her plan was thwarted by stubbornly high inflation, which has worsened the cost-of-living crisis in the country.

According to Ogele, everything changed when she could no longer afford transport to work after the cost of transport doubled, and she had to start dipping into her savings.

“I think many people are not talking about projects this year. Being able to afford basic needs is already a project in the country. All plans to get myself a good phone have failed. I earn just N35,000, which is barely enough to last me for the month. I had no option but to get something similar to the Nokia 3310 for N8,500 as that was what I could afford,” she said.

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that inflation soared to an 18-year high of 25.80 percent in August from 24.08 percent in July.

The rising cost of living has diminished consumers’ buying power, forcing a growing number of individuals to opt for older second-generation (2G) devices as they are unable to afford modern alternatives.

According to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), 2G continues to be the dominant technology in Nigeria’s mobile market with 60.32 percent of the country’s 220.36 million mobile subscriptions on the 2G network as of August 2023 compared to 58.36 percent in May 2023.

This increase comes as a result of the economic downturn, which has left many individuals and families struggling to afford high-speed internet plans and modern smartphones.

“During times of economic uncertainty, we typically see a shift in consumer behaviour as people look for ways to tighten their budgets,” said Sarah Johnson, a telecommunications industry analyst.

“The shift towards 2G services and devices is a clear example of this trend. Consumers are prioritising basic communication needs over data-hungry applications,” she added.

The NCC data show 28.07 percent of those subscriptions were on 4G; 10.78 percent on 3G, and 0.83 percent on 5G, indicating low smartphone ownership in the country, despite sustained network investments by telecommunication companies (telcos) in the country.

Statista, a market data and research portal, reveals that only about 10 to 20 percent of the Nigerian population own a smartphone.

Alliance for Affordable Internet estimates the number of Nigerians with access to smartphones at 44 percent.

However, MTN disclosed that the number of smartphones on its network increased by 1.8 million in the first half of 2023, bringing its smartphone penetration to 53 percent.

One of the reasons for keeping 2G and 3G alive is the wide coverage it gives the telcos.

Ralph Mupita, president and CEO of MTN Group, in a recent report, said: “Out of its 289 million subscribers as of 2022, 92 percent of its population coverage are still on 2G, 84 percent are on 3G, 79 percent on 4G, and 4 percent on 5G.”

Various sources say rising prices for phones is a major issue. Many people, particularly those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder, still use feature phones, and they form the majority. Those on the higher rungs of the ladder use smartphones.

“3G phones are for people who can afford a meal somewhat. But poor people will use feature phones. 5G, for now, will be out of reach for many people, 2G goes far and wide. In rural areas, there are a lot of feature phones. There is also the issue of digital education; most people do not know the type of phone to buy,” an industry source said.

The average cost of 1 gigabyte of mobile data in Nigeria is $0.39 (N390), with the country ranking 31st out of 237 countries in terms of the cheapest mobile data, this is according to analysis by Cable.co.uk between July 5 and September 6, 2023.

In Nigeria, a low-income worker who earns below N30,000, which is the minimum wage, can barely buy enough data for the month, as the income is not enough to take care of basic needs.

As a result of this, telecommunication providers – MTN, Airtel, 9mobile, and Globacom active subscribers of internet service have seen less growth over the years.

In the past seven years, 9mobile has experienced a consistent decline in its Internet subscriber base, with an average loss of 134,000 subscribers monthly since June 2016. This decline began after it reached 17.2 million subscribers — its highest ever in April 2016, falling to 3.5 million in August 2023.

The NCC data also revealed that as of May 2020, Airtel and Globacom reported 37 million internet users each. However, Globacom and Airtel reported 43 million and 42 million respectively as of August 2023, while MTN had the highest number of internet users (68 million).

The day of reckoning has come!

We are in the end game now.

Only the truth will set anyone free.

The one who thought he's high and mighty is finally down on his face.

God our redeemer lives and he's finally heard our prayers.

Nigeria will be great again.

Why only APC states?

Why mostly northern states? (northwest especially )

Why mostly southwestern states in the south?

Why so many cases around COWS and SKULL miners?

E no go better for you and your papa for that thing wey you talk. They said his Olevel he presented belongs to a female and the the government college of lagos he claimed to have attended and graduated from in 1970 didn't exist until 1974. But bastard like dey here still dey talk nonsense. If I catch you eh....

IamNat:
What sort of stupidity is this? Some people are just hell bent on destroying the image of Nigeria and Nigerians, if tomorrow, they start treating Nigerians in a bad way abroad, they will keep shouting Nigeria government again.

The school has already said that the record belongs to Mr. President and that it is a male that was admitted and graduated. They even said it that the "F" could have been a clerical error since his SSN shows that he's male.

BAT will not resign, he's Nigeria president for the next 8 years, if you are not satisfied with that, comot for the country.

Nigeria really missed an opportunity to be great again. What tribalism and religious sentiment has taken from us will take years to recover. May God help us.

At this point, commitment is not enough.

Commitment is just an agreement or pledge to do something in the future.

Buhari travelled round the globe to secure deals and investments into Nigeria just as tinubu is doing, but how many of these multinationals "walk the talk"?

When Peter Obi of labor Party said he'll move Nigeria from consuming nation to producing nation, he meant that we have to first look inward. There are things we can do for ourselves to make these foreign investors beg to invest in Nigeria. We don't have to beg them.

But when you talk about Peter obi and his policies, Wole Shoyinka and his forest of thousand demons agbadorians will just bring their ugly heads through tribalism.

May God for forgive us
