We all want a country that work no doubt but our approach or understanding of how it will work differs.
As a young undergraduate, IBB closed our school for 8 months for protesting. We were made to write apologies letter and pay N200 penalty to repair the school building burnt with police teargas.
I tell you, the worst of Tinubu is still better than the best of any military. If the military guy did not truncate our democracy in the 1 st Republic, we won't be were we are today. They came back again 1984 through this Buhari. He destroyed this country as military and as a civilian. Most of the crisis we are facing today got aggravated when Buhari became president. Talk about debt, insecurity, nepotism etc.
Why Tinubu may not be the best, he in my own opinion is doing something differently from Buhari that is capable of restoring us to part of growth. I agree, we should not stop talking.If we don't criticize them they can go to sleep. My take

Ok Sir, I get your point, I also graduated in 2010, that's about 17 years apart in academic calendar, but I'm not here to drag age, I just feel really annoyed with the way this country has turned out to be, I also witnessed military regimes and I can tell you that Tinubu has performed worse than so many military leaders.

I just feel that whether young or old we should learn to speak the truth, I'm sorry if I sounded rude....

I just want a country that works.[/quote]

What is the role of the National Assembly and the CBN in this mess? Let CBN devise a bill proposing stringent sanctions for demanding USD or any other foreign currency for any domestic transaction within Nigeria. The National Assembly should make such a law for PBAT to sign.

As per my age, iI will leave you to do the maths below:
I graduated from University in 1993 worked briefly and completed MBA from one of the leading Universities in this country in 1998.I am a professional in Financial services.
Now, I am not against objective criticism, but outright insult does not portray proper upbringing , as an adult I feel we shouldn't let such slip. without correcting it because that is not who we are and what is not corrected will be ed to coming generations.

Firstly, if you are not up to 54 you can't be my father, no matter how you may try to calculate it...

Secondly I'm sorry if I have been sounding rude to you, but is very annoying watching you older folks destroy the country and be expecting respect from the younger ones or expect the younger one to keep quiet because of age...

What then are you teaching the younger ones ?

I just felt maybe if insults begin to get to you guys then maybe you guys will start buckling up and showing good examples...


Just imagine if Tinubu receive insults from young people everywhere he goes, I think it may cause him to start doing some things right...

I think that's a major difference between Africa and the west, and we can see the advancement they have made...

I am not calling for the younger ones to be disrespectful but the older ones should also respect themselves by teaching the younger one good examples and their respect should be earned and not demanded...

I don't use to do this before I just started it, I feel it might start putting shame to the older ones to start doing right and leaving good examples...[/quote]

That is the only people they can flex their muscles 💪 with 💪 they can never dare politicians that loot public funds.


Rubbish stupid ❌ 🤬 EFCC

Are you one of them. Why is your comment suggesting you are not happy with their arrest? Are those boys doing the right things in the society? Should we allow their to freely operate? EFCC has tried and should be on commended this time around. As for the arrest of politicians, it is a gradual process, of they don't get it right now, sometimes in future, they will get their strategies right.

Tinubu istration this, Tinubu that, can El-Rufai just give us a respite? Did you talk when Buhari was destroying this country with borrowing, nepotism, and corruption? It is easy to repair what was damaged. Do you not all agree that subsidy removal is necessary? Did currency devaluation start with Tinubu?
I agree Tinubu can do better, but if anyone should be castigating Tinubu every time, certainly this El-Rufai isn't qualified to do so. He campaigned for him and one of the major people that made Nigeria vote for him, so just because of your selfish interest, you keep attacking him? Wer don't want a tribal bigot as Minister nor a religious war monger like you. We have thousands of good northern that wish our country well that are better than you.

Brendaniel:


I say it again shut up, when you choose to be unreasonable you will he treated as one, didn't you read my comment where I said that even with the nepotism Buhari played with the north it is not still as bad as what Tinubu is doing with the south, of course the northern appointments may have not been balanced but it is not still as bad as what Tinubu is doing in the south against the south east and the south south....

So shove your nonsense narrative down, if you choose to behave Like an idiot you will be treated like one...

When you call the agemate of your father an idiot because you haven't been properly brought up or you choose not to accept proper upbringing, you can be sure, without blinking an eyes , people of your children agemate will insult you face to face..
I rest my case. Watch out!

Brendaniel:


Shut up, just shut up, if you can't comprehend something it is better you keep quiet, what is South if most of the other partsof the south apart from the south west are complaining of lopsidedness.

Something that no part of the north complained of during Buhari'e regime of northern nepotism.

You guys are trying to be clever by half, there is nothing like south when 90% of the appointments are going to only south west in the south, so keep that bullshit of lumping the other parts of the south to this nonsense you guys and Tinubu are doing claiming to be fighting the north, you guys should face the north alone and stop claiming the other parts of the south into this nonsense you guys are doing....

Ignorance is a disease. Check my moniker, am from Middlebelt.
Secondly, check the appointment Buhari made and compare NW where he came from with NC and NE. If your choose to hate Tinubu, how should that make you to start talking rudely to someone that is probably older or about the age of your father on this platform?

Brendaniel:
What is South, there is nothing like South anymore, the writer refused to be specific with the type of south...

If South east, south south and the north are complaining about lopsidedness then what is south? Even Buhari's nepotism wasn't as bad as this within the north, I ask again what exactly is south?

It is people like you who make it easy to be dominated. Why were the SE, SS, and North complaining when Buhari bastardized the appointment? Why the sudden outcry against someone trying to correct a lopsided appointment? Can he get it right immediately? No, it is a gradual process.

The so-called Northern Youths have no sense of history, perhaps they should ask their fathers about the history of Nigeria. How Nigeria's independence was negotiated on a TRIPOD called North, West, and East Regions, and how through the use of military the North has changed the political negotiations to North Vs South 2. How Sanni Abacha, ( the worst leader in the history of Nigeria), used military advantage to create 44 local government Areas for Kano after creating Jigawa State out of old Kano state that shared the same state status with Lagos State.

They should not remind us about the depth of injustice the North has perpetrated in this country using their military sons. Now it is so difficult for Southern Nigeria to unite and ask that after South West, it should be the turn of Eastern Nigeria to produce a president because of the greed for power from the North.

If they do not know history, they should be taught that even the North today is sharply divided and that we in the Middlebelt want a separate identity.

Can't find it on Playstore. How do we this apps?

This Governor is not prioritizing citizens' welfare in any way. BRT has almost collapsed along Ikorodu Road,Rice from LAke is not availabe in the market and you are blaming middlemen. What will happen if you take charge of your channels of distributions in all the LGS and CDA, major markets, etc.?

Hmnnnn, this Emmanuel and Godwin Emefiele once worked together is a certain Bank? ! Even the VP is also a product of that same Bank?!

I beg what am I thinking. Let me shut -up my mouth biko.

Wats the difference between PDP and APC. All of them are the same. El rufai was former minister under PDP. So who's deceiving who.

Of all the people to grace ibb's book launch,Obj is the last person I expected to attend. Wat da hell was he doing there. The same ibb that annulled ur kinsman's election.
I was about 7 yrs old in 1993 so I the violent protests in Ibadan then after the annulment of 93 election. "Babangida ole,ole was the anthem on the street then. So I don't expect any sane Yoruba to grace that book launch.

Abiola would be turning in his grave by now to see one of his disciples,Tinubu sitting side by side with babangida. Buhari will never attend such meeting cos he knew how babangida back stabbed in 1985. Awon eleriibu

IBB gave OBJ the ticket to become a civilian president after the death of Abacha.

Nonsense. Yorubaland is known for peaceful co-existence and introducing Sharia will sure truncate this peace.

To now start attacking Nairaland is mischievous and you have to stop it.
I come in peace

I attended a southern african church last 2 weeks.
No shouting, screaming, falling by anointing.
Infact, no drama. More praise and the preaching was godly living. Guess what, no offering.
But they pay tithe. Everybody including the pastor is working.

Pastor came down from the pulpit, very close to the congregation and was speaking like a therapist. It was like group discussion. My head was just spinning. Can this happen in naija where narcissism reign supreme?

The pastors wife is my colleague and friend. Not until I attended the church after years of invitation that I knew she is the pastors wife. Called her mummy G.O. She asked me with all seriousness what that means. Lol.

There's a church in Anthony Village Lagos whose mode of worship is similar to what you described. Indeed, no clapping, dancing, or collection plate but they have a Tithes and Offering box, and there is no mention of offering during service except occasionally when they are teaching about God's plan of financing. They have a big tabernacle and are located at Campground road. They own the Campground.

How many Kyaris dey this country self?

On a serious, Buhari deserves some credit for setting the ball of these refinery projects rolling. But kudos to Tinubu for not abandoning it. At least he put country over political aspirations.

Please don't mention Buhari here! The suffering we are going through today was caused by the man who served for 8 solid years and has nothing to show for it. A monumental failure. Look at all the Rotimi Amaechi's railworks media campaign, why is Ogbomoso = Ilorin road leading to the North still blocked with trailers? We can't transport anything on the Buhairi/ Amaechi rail line.

"Gather Nigerian relatives"...The usual beer parlour nonsense talk. Instead, morons like you and others should gather yourselves to protest against bad economic policies. Leave kemi to her decisions.

You obviously have no home training,calling someone slowpoke for the sake of his opinion?
Some of you genzy come online to insult people as old or older than your father slowpoke?So very sad.

Can we get her Nigerian relatives to advise this girl to stop talking rubbish. She's been talking too much lately and this may cause her irreparable downfall.
A fool say in her heart there's no God. Wait a minute, did she really make that statement?

I am not a member of Pastor Adeboye's RCCG Church, but I feel highly insulted as a Christian when anti-Christian e-warriors attacked him, especially on Nairaland.
When you say, " his prayers were not being answered......." I feel perplexed if you know the risk of mocking a man of God. All of you criticizing this man must know this, if it were not for the answer to prayers in this country, our crisis would perhaps be worse than Ukraine: Russia by now, you probably wouldn't even have access to electricity talkless of the charged phone to attack a Christain leader as you will be busy trying to find a place to hide from bomb and gunshots.

Pastor Adeboye and his RCCG have helped put Nigeria on the global map and have contributed more to Nigeria's progress than some armchair critics looking for a Christian leader to attack. If you don't know, Nigeria is the international HQ of RCCG with a presence in several countries globally. It is one thing for us to pray, it is completely at the discretion of the almighty God to answer in his own time in his way. If the politicians keep operating without the fear of God, it is still our responsibility to pray for them and leave the judgment in the hands of the God that rules men's affairs. If you say "Many people have stopped going to church", perhaps you are talking about yourself, I can say very many people are still going to church to seek his face and God is still in the business of answering prayer, no matter how bad our situation may appear as a people and a country.
I would like to humbly appeal to Nairalanders not to people using derogatory words against Christian leaders. Stop saying they are not men of God. Allow God to take care of that because if you in attacking someone that God is happy with, the Supreme Court of this word will not be able to bail you out when your punishment comes like a storm.

Bobloco:



Well said

Sterlingdgreat:
I have always told myself Christianity is one of the most controversial religion. So confusing. You will see one thing in one part, the opposite will be in another part.


That is y it is easy to twist its words to suit what you want to tell the audience

The only way to truly understand Christianity is to have experential salvation/born again. People argue because they don't have the true spirit of God to confirm the word of God to them.
READ this portion of Malachi 3
6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.

13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?

15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Cost of conversion?

THE BIG QUESTION IS WILL IT BE POSSIBLE FOR CONVERTED VEHICLES TO ALSO USE PMS WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE? THAT IS, WITH THE CONVERSION CAN THE VEHICLES CHOOSE BETWEEN PMS AND CNG TO POWER THEIR ENGINES?

Edo no be Lagos. Edo will soon be Lagos now if either of the PDP or APC candidate win.
Obaseki has changed philosophy now , he want to be a God father to PDP candidate, right?

The unfortunate thing about this issue now is that her foolish action will start making other tribes in Nigeria and even foreigners to hate Igbos. She obviously didn't think about the implications of this before she started. Thousands of good Igbo men and women will start experience hatred without ing her foolish action. We should please stop hating, tribalism etc. How do you want children born to parents of both Yoruba/Igbo or Igbo/Bini to feel.
This woman and her type across tribes should not be spear appropriate punishment to serve as deterrent to like minds.

The naira does not have value so the analysis is trash. Defenders of this govt will never cease to amaze me. Make people leave work come dey farm cos of bad governance. [/qu
Can you look beyond politics and talk economics? Did I hear you say the Naira is worthless and you still spend the worthless Naira as means of exchange? As if someone give you the worthless Naira you won't collect it? Hypocrisy of the highest level.
One of the ways to fight the skyrocketing inflation is through massive food production.

CodeTemplar:
That means if you could plant 1000 tubers somewhere, you are looking at N4,000,000 in revenue and maybe 75% of that as profit. 10,000 tubers and it is times ten of that.

Excellent analysis. This is the way to think . Even if the price should crash you are still sure of making some profit if you invest in farming. Except for the security issue, this is a great business opportunity.

As I do not the protest, Mr President, you should cut your salary and direct the national assembly to cut their salary. You can't be living in luxury while the citizens are hungry. You brought Buhari who destroyed the economy so, you have to clean up the mess.

Something in me is telling me Dangote will win this battle. Don't give us guy, if a man like you quits, then millions of Nigerians looking up to you to have their hope dashed. Fight on, Nigeria belongs to all of us.

Arostar2023:
This is like a case of putting the cart before the horse. This is a country without working institutions. Where any and everything goes. Someone will by the meters and nothing will happen. This is an exercise in futility unless the metering would be manned and monitored by a foreign company not d in any way to our politicians.

Naija man, you trust Oyinbo more than your country's people. Who told you Oyinbo can't be compromised? They are all human

Kano governor scored a beautiful goal to hone his political career against the deposed Bayero king that is currently fighting Sanusi

Don't forget that The late Bayero, the current Bayero and Sanus Lamido Sanusi are from the same family
