Gameover! Give it to Tinubu.

I would have prefered Osibanjo for the sake of my people. Don't really know why they hate Tinubu that much. The man that laid the foundation of modern Lagos.

Too bad. We need peace in Nigeria

Kobojunkie:
So Dele Giwa and Fela were delusions of ours!

I never told you we had perfect rulers. I said only Abacha was brutal. That does not mean that others were Saints.

Omoluabiii:
¤Back then in the 80s
life was boring, no internet, no atm, no media and the rest...
It was boring.

¤There was also no freedom of speach, and action, fear was in everyone cos its military rule, they can do and undo, nobody dare say pim....
The freedom now makes its a bit better now than then,
now people challenge politicians, soldiers and police, back then who born you well...

Lol, not like that, only Abacha was that hard. We had SAP riots all over the country. Aluta struggles here and there etc. Even Babangida had to settle the vocal ones with appointment. People like Wole Soyinka, Tai Solarin etc have to be settled with appointment. We were vocal but not brainwashed like today's youth.

anfanio:


Of course life was easier then than now. You leave for London on Friday to attend a party on Saturday, come back Sunday, go back to work on Monday.
Can you do that today?
Graduated from school on Thursday, started a government job 2 weeks later. Can you do that today? This was NOT the story of well connected people, but the story of average Nigerians then.
Finally, most people that travelled overseas then (for education) came back to Nigeria, not that they couldn't stay but because Nigeria was good. Can you do that today?

Less than 1% of the population enjoyed what you are talking about. The main population wallowed in abject poverty then. What was the %age of university graduate then.
In my village, my dad was the only person that had car around 70s. Now the whole village is littered with cars and mansions.
The people eat rice once a week. No electricity in the village then. None could afford gen then.
No comparison between now and then. This generation are enjoying more
In my university days 88-93, you hardly see students having ordinary tv's in their rooms. But now tv's is a small thing. Students now have everything, Tv, laptops, phones, tabs, car etc.

Nothing like good old days. That was only for the few rich and contented folks

It is really heart breaking to see zero trust in the NA. And it is not as if they have concrete proof that the army is lying , they just believe it. And these guys are out there putting their lives on the line daily to protect them… They won’t even give them the benefit of doubt.

May God strengthen and protect our gallant Nigerian soldiers. We will win this war!

Most of them are paid to tarnish the image of the government. So both good and bad news are twisted to fit their narrative.

I see no reason a young man/woman with prospects of good future will be on Nairaland everyday wailing profusely. Makes no sense to me.

“In Nigeria, resident doctors are paid between N280,000 to N300,000 at the federal institutions per month. The states pay N110,000 to N150,000 per month. Consultants at the federal institutions are paid between N540,000 to N580,000 per month.


We only complain about the FG. While the state government act innocent. Meanwhile they are the main problem. See them paying 110k-150k while FG pays 280k-300k. Our mumu never do

donmik:


Yes, not all Muslims are evil!

But u are now economising the truth that the Bandits are not terrorist?

Hmmmm.... What is their difference from Boko Haram?

U can mince the truth cos your family has not been touched by this bloodsucker mayhem

No need bringing my family into this. If you will be fair, you would know the Fulanis are suffering the same fate if not more. And the army have been bombing their hideouts.
To you question, the difference between Boko haram and Bandits is, Boko wants to establish an islamic country using violence. While the bandits are criminal groups robbing, killing and kidnapping. And I know very well, the government is fighting both the same way.
And mind you, Nigeria is not the only country facing this problem.

kudinkarfe:

Now tell me, what are the bandits doing? Killing innocent Nigerians, forcing them to leave their land, and the government is enforcing policies that will favor the Fulani's against the wish of the people. What is the difference between what the Fulani's are doing and what is happening in Afghanistan? When the chips are down everybody will fill the heat. Afghans were supporting the Talibans and now they are IDPs.

Boko haram, IPOB are all groups that desire political change, so it is quite easy to declare them as terrorist if they use violence. But the bandits are like armed robbers and kidnappers not having any political aim. Or do you want the government to declare every robber and kidnapper a terrorist.
And please it is very wrong to pick on all Fulanis. Not all Fulanis are bandits, not all Igbos are IPOB, not all Kanuris are Boko haram. etc

kudinkarfe:

We want him to designates them as terrorist that they are as he designated Ipob and other group. The problem with Buhari is nepotism, he love his people more than the whole country. Some of us work for bubu more than most of you buharias. If they pay you millions of naira to enter where we went for bubu you will not. Today I regret doing that because he is President for Muslims only. " I belongs to everybody I belongs to nobody ". History will never forgive bubu.

See the meaning of terrorist below. Bandit is more appropriate

Terrorist is used for those who do it for political aim.

"Access Bank lost a total of N138.1m in 2020, which is N197.1m lower than what it incurred in the previous year."


I'm having trouble with my maths , can someone explain how this is possible

Means they lost 138.1m + 197.1m =335.2m the previous year

One has to be very careful. Last year my active GLO SIM was swapped and used to clear 2m. Thank God for WEMA, they refunded to the last kobo. God bless those WEMA guys that worked on it without demanding for bribe. In fact the man refused to accept anything from me.

PDP no get work again

post=104041688:
Is this what he was voted to do?
No single project or development in Edo state since he has been voted in as a governor.
No single upliftment of a single Benin person?

He is still battling with the candidate he campaigned and defeated in the governorship election?
Is that not foolishness and lack of leadership ideas?
Is this how to better the lives of Edo people?
Only fools and idiots will be happy with this news about revoking his fellow criminal occupancy, and it is obvious it is only the fools that are not even Edo indigenes that are celebrating this foolishness.
(You will see such mofos quoting us now...just watch it.)

Truly, Edo no be Dubai!

Sane Nairalanders, abi no be so?!

I least expected this from you. Knowing that you are against looters. Instead of jumping into conclusions, you should have inquired if the land was legally acquired. If yes, you can now fault the governor.

People comparing Nigeria with UAE should know that UAE has OPEC quota of about 10 mbps for a population of about 10m. While Nigeria is given less than 2 mbpd to feed over 200m mouths.

JesseJo:


Hate won't let some of you reason properly.

You are too dumb to think of the first mover economic advantage that will accrue to southern business men who takes advantage of owning cattle in a grazing reserve in Ogun...When Lagos that is next door consumes 10,000 cattles per day.

Open your mind and stop being clownish

This Jessejo, you have been speaking my mind. The states that do not key in now will regret it. So much money for the states to make from this initiative. Unfortunately, my region is blinded by hate. Very unlike them being business minded people.

The world is bleeding.

According to the report.


Civil unrest rose 10 per cent globally, driven by the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic caused a global rise in civil unrest and political insecurity, according to the GPI report. There were 14,871 violent demonstrations, protests and riots recorded globally in 2020.

The report said COVID-19 was a “multiplying force” in future political instability and civil unrest. It added the level of this unrest going forward is likely to hinge on the speed and effectiveness of economic recovery. Countries with less debt and higher levels of positive peace were more likely to recover faster.

criuze:
No need to tell you these aren't south east leaders

The only language we understand is biafra


Buhari is seeking assurance from pot belly thieves

Its pathetic

Leadership is the youth, we are making a bold statement on biafra,

Nothing can change it

The people they voted for is not their leaders? Whom then voted for them? Some voted in twice.

We like to deceive ourselves.

My brother, no insults please. Kindly tell me one outstanding project carried out by Peter Obi, you just mentioned. Apart from mediocre roads and the "saving of money"

Oga you are just exhibiting crass ignorance. Show me the south eastern governor wgo developed only his village. Peter Obi was governor of Anambra state and anambra was the least indebted state and was also rivalling the other 5 states in terms of IGR and FDI[/quote]

.

This one na small crowd na. Wait until politicians start to campaign for 2023 elections, you will see what is crowd.

Abeg we need peace & progress in Nigeria, not people beating the drums of war and promising what they can never give.

After the Arab Spring

Buhari should not lift the ban, until twitter opens office in Nigeria.

Moorish:
Can any of the more intelligent and economic savvy ones here please explain how exchange rates work and why the naira to dollar rate was better during GEJ’s regime ?

Was it buhari’s policies that caused this ? Or some other factor ?

Nigeria can only print Naira, we don't print dollars. So if the country is not earning enough foreign exchange through exports etc, we will have shortage of foreign exchange which will likely lead to devaluation. That is simple economics. The Nigerian economy is not diversified, we rely heavily on crude oil export for our dollar needs. So if there is disruption in crude sales/price, we have this problem.
Now, Nigeria is not selling enough crude oil, due to OPEC restrictions as a result of covid 19 pandemic. Most countries are not operating fully so the demand for crude is reduced. Also India, I believe our biggest oil market have cut oil imports due to the ravaging effect of covid 19.
In a nutshell, this is the major reason.

We have other factors like, fuel importation, low productivity, population growth, education etc

Eko showing leadership qualities. After Lagos Na Lagos.

This man has only spent two years o.

God bless Lagos State
God bless Nigeria

“Nigerians recall that President Buhari on 20th May 2020 signed an executive order on implementation of financial autonomy for state legislature and state judiciary, which the same PDP governors have rejected.


Yet the Governors will be the ones shouting for restructure. But they have hijacked all the powers in the state and want more from FG.
You would think their interest is for the masses, not knowing they want state police just to rig elections and intimidate opponents.

Banana Republic. Don't they have a Vice, that can take over from the late President. Why his son?

Nigeria my country. E go better
