Health / Re: Never Sleep On The Same Bed As Babies, It Can Kill Them- Dr Olufunmilayo by Xevioso: 7:16am On Aug 05, 2019 |
Here in Europe, we have no polio, ultrasound screening, tri-monthly health visits, vaccinations, free healthcare and an infant mortality rate 19.7 times lower than Nigeria (11th worst in the world). We advise exactly as posted: No Co-sleeping (parents and babies in the same bed), own cot until 6 months, own room after that. It's very sad to come and see that Nigerians are the reason their children die so often. If you don't trust Europeans that's fine, but obviously, they are more medically advanced and better educated, so you'd be well advised to follow the advice they give to themselves, even if not that they give to you. Unless, of course, you believe so strongly in God that you want your kids to meet him as soon as possible. |

justtoodark:Why not fix the criticism? If someone tells you smell - and you smell - SHOWER. We are living in countries drawn by Britain and France and fighting about immigration between countries that no African would recognise until the Europeans forced them on us. The height of African industry is digging things up. Less than two-thirds of us can read - but more than 95% claim to believe in books, brought by foreigners few have read. WE ARE LAZY. LET'S GET BUSY. |

Oreofepeters:It's up to US to solve it. There are plenty of great African thinkers. But they are weighed down by the corruption, ignorance and piety of our countrymen. We need to build functional communities - respecting law and order, and adulating not gods but knowledge, dignity and progress. Whatever, if any, god(s) Africans believe in, surely living well in this life is better than begging through poverty in the hope of reward in the next? 3 Likes |

ZombiePUNISHER: African people can work hard. African people built America. We built Apartheid South Africa. But we follow dictators and despots and don't educate ourselves. Africans follow Religion and fantasy - but they are intellectually lazy. They pray for salvation from their woes, but don't work to create a better country. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Africans are incredibly lazy. Instead of learning, to refine oil, to build trains, to create our own cities, we trade raw materials to the Chinese to do it for us. Instead of research and developing technology, we pray and beg that God/Allah will fix our problems. 60 years after independence, instead of creating our own economies and trading with the west and the east as equals, we steal what pittances we have from each other, killing each other for what the average European makes in ten minutes. We'd rather live in poverty and pass poverty on to our children than have small, well educated families with opportunities for the future. We'd rather vote for people from our tribes than people who would help the countries - drawn by the Europeans - that we still live in. Yes. Africans are lazy. 27 Likes 3 Shares |

Perfect example of what's wrong with Nigeria: Them: "You have a problem with corruption, Christian and Muslim fundamentalism, violence and government efficiency." You: "It's true, but how dare you say it!?" Don't blame the messenger for Nigerian fallings. Stop voting for idiots just because they share your faith or your tribe. Stop expecting everyone else to fix your problems. Stop tithing and pay your taxes. Stop praying and start doing. |

Politics / Re: FG May Increase Petrol Price To N180 Per Litre by Xevioso: 6:33pm On Jan 05, 2018 |
Jethrolite: Wow, that's horrific. I feel incredibly sorry for you, that's not how a society is supposed to work. I'm under no illusions that this is an easy problem to solve, but people do need to ask for the right thing as well. What strikes me is that the expectation of fuel subsidies almost sounds like the Nigerian public saying not "Stop stealing our taxes" ut "If you're going to steal our taxes, we want to get some too" Whilst that might seem only fair, it means even if there are honest politicians they don't even have the funds to clean the system. |
Politics / How Much Tax Should FG Put Into Petrol? by Xevioso: 5:51pm On Jan 05, 2018 |
Current landed cost of petrol is 171₦/l. Current urban pump prices are 145₦/l. So the Nigerian Government is currently spending ₦26 of your taxes for every litre of fuel that goes into a car. And if your neighbour owns a V8 Land Cruiser, or a V12 Mercedes S-Class, or a Bulletproof V8 Bentley Mulsanne that does 12mpg, the government is paying ₦26 towards the 96 litres it takes to fill your fuel tank. That's ₦2,496 that comes out of taxation to fill a Bentley Mulsanne. How much do you think the government should spend? Is ₦26 per litre too much or too little? |

Jethrolite: My grandfather was, yes. Is this important? Have you decided you deserve your poverty and your corruption? Nigeria is getting the government you demand. If you demand the government makes petrol cheap they will have no economic space to do anything else. If you decide that government corruption is inevitable only the corrupt will go into the government. Nigerians need to start from the premise that when someone is accused of corruption, or you know someone has stolen, just call the police. Brother, sister, father, mother, son, daughter, whoever. If you do not strive for a better Nigeria, who will? 1 Like |

Jethrolite: So get angry about the fact that the government is not building refineries and power stations. If the government builds power stations and refineries, charges ₦500/l for petrol, and takes the ₦320/l profit and puts it into free healthcare, education, roads, jobs, anti-corruption you are the winner. If the government takes your tax money builds nothing and gives it Chevron and Total year, after year, after year... You may pay ₦170/l at the pump, but you and your family will be the losers forever. |

Jethrolite: You have to put petrol in a generator because the money that should be building power stations is going to foreign oil refineries. |

12dave:The reason Nigeria is failing is because the citizenry do not understand economics. So they vote for cheap petrol, but never ask "How is it kept cheap?" It is kept cheap by taking money out of hospitals, schools and investment, and giving it to foreign oil companies. And you are angry that the government wants to reduce it. |

kingaruoture: How can anyone invest in domestic production if you are subsidising foreign oil production? Cut the subsidy, put on an import tariff, spend the revenue from the tariff to build local refinery capacity. ₦2.5 trillion per year is spent importing oil. For ₦800 billion, you could build a refinery, cut fuel costs, cut subsidies and increase tax revenue every year. |
