“If you think that your husband leaves the house and says that he is going on tour and he is going to have an affair outside, put a packet of condom into his bag; tell him that you have packed his bag for him. When he sees it, psychologically, he is going to think ‘this woman has my interest at heart.’ If it is his intention to stray, he will put himself together

Nigerians are known internationally, but what is the dark side of them we never hear about?

Nigerians are known internationally, but what is the dark side of them we never hear about?

I had to rack my brain before coming up with this.

If there's any dark side about Nigerians, it is that:

They are scared.

They are scared of standing up for what they believe in. That's why we don't carry out mass physical protests when our interests are being stomped in the dust. Instead, we go to social media and make noise never backed up with actions.

They are scared of accepting their cultural identity. That's why our cultural beliefs and dressings conforms to that of the west. When you go for an interview or a ‘big’ event, you are measured by the smartness of your suit and perfectness of your English dress.

For proof:

And this

Notice one thing in common? They are all big wigs...

They are scared of saying the truth about their country. That's why when foreigners ask some questions about our country, we sometimes fall to the temptation of padding its real situation in the name of ‘I love my country’ instead of saying it as it is.

This is one of our greatest problems and is common to not only Nigerians but to many Africans

Why is it difficult for Nigerians to get anything done in unison?

What is Nigeria lacking?

When you ask the average Nigerian what he thinks his country is lacking, they might say good governance, infrastructure, jobs, etc.

These are things that are sufficient in many other countries, even in countries poorer than Nigeria, but they are able to get these things right.

Why is it difficult for Nigerians to get anything done in unison?

Just yesterday, a man died of coronavirus at Ajah, Lagos. He was reported of being sick, before NCDC arrived to take him to the hospital, it was already too late and they asked to take the body to be buried appropriately, but the family and area boys refused that they want to bury their own dead.

While the NCDC guys were on PPE the family members and neighbours were not protected, dragging a man who had died of COVID.

A few days back, a patient ran away from a COVID-19 treatment centre in Abuja, he's still not found.

Just last week, the chief of staff to the president died of COVID and politicians went to bury him, a large crowd stood by as they dug a shallow grave to lay him to rest according to his religion.

Some persons had their nose masks on with hand gloves, some didn't, and even those with the hand gloves and masks used it wrongly--touching themselves after touching the body.

Which country gathers to bury a person killed by COVID?

Just yesterday, a bus supposedly said to be carrying goods to Delta state had human beings from Lagos on the inside, trying to outsmart the lockdown.

A few weeks back, despite the lockdown, birthday parties were celebrated, one actress and her husband were indicted and many Nigerians painted the court bad for that.

There are cars still moving about at Lagos Island, despite the lockdown. Suddenly, every high ranking government official is on official duty.

The streets of Lagos are filled with people still.

And the last time I checked our cases now grow by an average of 100 a day.

It's not just about COVID, this is exactly how we do everything in this country.

What do we really lack?

What is the effect of brain drain in Nigeria economy?

What is the effect of brain drain in Nigeria economy?

Peter Obi, former Anambra state governor went to study what was happening to schools in Uganda, a few years back.

He wanted to go via Kenya Airways but found them too pricey, that man is known for frugality, he then opted for Rwandan air, But, his greatest shock was that when the captain of the aircraft came to introduce himself, he was a Nigerian.

The captain said two of them in the cockpit are Nigerians.

They said they could not have a job in Nigeria. But, in Rwanda, they value them.

Some of the doctors attending to our politicians in London, and elsewhere are Nigerians, but those same doctors won't be given a chance to touch this politician here in Nigeria, when they meet them abroad, they obviously respect and do whatever they say.

Majority of Nigerian doctors and even engineers are already abroad, in countries where their services are well paid and respected.

I don't believe in brain drain.

Your asset is your knowledge.

And if somebody somewhere needs it, would you not make it available to them?

If they don’t want your services in Nigeria, why waste away here?

What we call brain drain is a cumulative effect of leadership failure over the years. Our leaders have failed.

That is why the youths are leaving in droves:

To places where every equipment needed to do the job is available, not in Nigeria where an outdated x-ray machine is used in dozens of public hospitals.

If the government doesn't sit their assess down, if travel constraints become easier, most Nigerian professionals won't be in Nigeria, it would be a great loss to the country

Senegal: Opposition leader Ousmane Sonko released under judicial supervision

Senegalese opposition leader Ousmane Sonko was arrested on 3 March while on his way to answer a summons at the courthouse in Dakar, as part of an investigation opened against him following an allegation of rape.

On 8 March, lawyers told us that he would now be “going home.” Taken to court early in the morning, Sonko appeared before senior judge Samba Sall, who charged him but decided to release him and place him under judicial supervision “with certain conditions.”

Freedom under conditions

Sonko must surrender his passport to the authorities and will have to ask for the judge’s permission if he wishes to travel. According to his lawyer Joseph Etienne Ndione, the leader of Patriotes du Sénégal pour le Travail, l’Éthique et la Fraternité (Pastef) will also have to appear before the judge every last Friday of the month. In addition, he will have to make himself available to investigators, should the judge decide to refer his case to the police or gendarmerie.

Furthermore, “since he is free to continue to express himself as a political opponent”, Sonko is forbidden to speak about the rape case against him with the press or in public.

A “gesture of appeasement”?

While Dakar and several cities in the country have been the scenes of violent clashes since the opposition leader’s arrest, the Mouvement de défense de la démocratie (M2D), which brings together opposition political parties and civil society movements, called for three days of mass protests throughout the country starting on 8 March. At least eight people were killed since the riots began.

“We already feel a sense of appeasement with regards to the court, where people are gloating. Had Ousmane Sonko been further detained, there is no doubt that the clashes would have resumed,” says Ndione. “The judicial authorities, perhaps even state authorities, examined the situation and opted for peace.” Several figures of the protest, arrested before or on the sidelines of the demonstrations, are still imprisoned

What is the wealthiest city in Nigeria?

What is the wealthiest city in Nigeria?

Imagine being so rich that you're the first to own a Rolls-Royce in the whole country.

In fact, when the queen visited in 1956, it was your Rolls-Royce she was chauffeured around with.

This man was ‘Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu', the first black billionaire, founding president of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. The royal honor came after he helped the British during World War II with his fleet of trucks.

Profiled in September 1965 by TIME magazine, Ojukwu made his money by importing dried fish for resale, and diversifying into textiles, cement and transport. When he died a year later, his wealth was an estimated $4 billion in today’s economic value.

His son, Chukwuemeka, who also ended up a billionaire, returned from Oxford University at 22 with a master’s degree in history and led his fellow Igbos into the Nigerian civil war as head of the secessionist state of Biafra in 1967.

Their hometown Nnewi, in the southeastern state of Anambra, either by good fortune or hard work, has bred more naira billionaires than any other town in Nigeria, and possibly Africa.

Do you know that after a controversial policy left all Igbo's with 20 pounds each, regardless of their bank balance, at the end of the Nigerian civil war in 1970?

They are amongst the richest people in africa presently.

Their high regard for money and the extend they go to grab it disgusts me sometimes but their tenacity in business is admirable.

Nicknamed the Japan of Africa, Nnewi is famous as a hub for automobile spare part dealers, and most recently, Innoson, Nigeria’s first indigenous car assembly plant. The town is also known for its factories that manufacture household goods and is home to the biggest road transport companies in the country.

Edit: My answer is based on the total number of billionaires from a single town in Nigeria

Why are there so many devoted Christians today in Nigeria?

Why are there so many devoted Christians today in Nigeria?

I have read some interesting answers here. Let me just add mine.

Many Nigerians seem to be devoted Christians because we are suffering. Yes, we are suffering!

In Nigeria, you need a miracle for the basic necessities of life, and people run to any where that promises miracles.

1. You need a miracle to gain admission into higher institution.
2. You need a miracle to graduate.
3. You need a miracle to get a job.
4. You need a miracle to remain in the job.
5. You need a miracle to get promoted on the job.
6. In short, you need a miracle for everything.

Some other reasons why people seem devoted are:

1. It is fashionable. People attach their sense of worth to the name of their Church.
2. You get connections in church. It’s easier for you to get the contact of say the vice president in church than going to Aso Rock.
3. It’s an immediate market for your goods and services.

It’s you who call these people ‘devoted’. Most people are not. They are only doing a transaction with Christianity. They are in it for some form of gain. Do you really think those people who flood churches will attend Church Service under a tree, with no musical instrument and just clap hands?

Looking at the trend of things, I do believe that if Nigerian becomes very comfortable for Nigerians, they will shun God. If you don’t think so, look at the story of the Israelites in the Bible.

That’s not to say there are no genuine Christians in Nigeria. I have a working relationship with many of them. They are awesome!
