[Ugo Ogugwa]

This gentleman being interviewed broke down the significance of this election well.

I respect the Nigerian grind overseas, but I dont think they trying to go back and make the Nigeria a better place. I fact I think a lot of them don’t believe in Nigeria as a political entity.

I ask some of the NigeriaIans I know, hey you gonna try and go back to Nigeria to live someday? They hit me with the . Seems like they ain’t trying to go back. They want some elected leader to do it all on his own.

Cap. With good governance there will be a mass migration back to Nigeria. Not all will go but many will and have already started.

 

[UpAndComing]

Yes fool. Amechi sold out Rivers people for power, just to get shyt on in the APC convention for theifinbu. Nigeria is trash as are those that believe in the falacy.


Imagine fools cheering because the senile thief Tinibu was chosen. Pathetic


Give Igbos Biafra and you people can enjoy your corrupt Muslim capliphate in peace.

100% !!!!!

It’s true. Nigerians would prefer to return home.

Continue propping up a failed state. Aren't you ashamed that since Nigeria's existence that we only had proper plumbing, light, and transportation when the colonial masters (Britain) was still over the affairs? In the 21st century Nigeria can only boast about being an importer of terrorists and an international & local kidnappers den.

One Nigeria efulefus are delusional. They really don’t understand how macroeconomics work or what it takes to make a multi ethnic country work.

And they unwittingly aid Arewa chauvinists

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Thank you, Buhari!
The Nigerian new wave: meet the highly educated migrants heading for Britain

How was what I said cap breh? They ain‘t trying to go back no matter what the reason is.

Nigerians were going back under Jonathan…

Nigerians were going back under Jonathan…

So what happened? Goodluck was a pragmatist but he wasn’t reformer or transformative. What is going on now That is different?

I think the South has more in common (between East and West) and is stronger together, than divided into West/East/South-South.

You may be right though.

If history tells us anything, a North-South divide will not work.

The East regardless of if Nigeria splits will still clamor for autonomy. The Yorubas in the West unfortunately are still underneath the thumb of the Fulanis. Yorubaland is close to 50% muslim.

Nigeria as we know it will have to be balkanized and split into several distinct nation states. The real question is the political direction of the Niger-Delta region.

• The price of oil dropped, affecting revenues
• The government responded to the weakening of the Naira (due to lessening oil revenues) by restricting access to U.S. dollars to favoured elites and restricted U.S. dollars to small scale manufacturers and businesses, putting many out of business (this is a actually the BIG scandals in Nigeria; as Buhari's cabal/relatives are able to trade U.S. dollars given to them at special rates for currencies on the black market - and then they make lots of profit on the exchange)
• The Nigerian government then began closing borders to respond to agricultural produce competing with Nigerian produces; which caused food inflation since the availability of food in Nigeria didn't increase (Nigerian farmers aren't productive for a lot of reasons)
• Security has worsened across Nigeria's 6 geopolitical zones, so Nigerians who are abroad are more likely to stay away, so that they don't become victims of kidnapping or terrorism.
• Insecurity has also created millions of internally displaced people from farms in the Middle Belt, also adding to food inflation: The forgotten farmer-herdsmen conflict in middle belt states Nigeria | MSF

And much much more

Which is fine. There's around 40 million Yorubas. 30-40 million Igbos. Edos have a geographically defined territory. Probably something like 10 million Ijaws. These are large nations on their own who deserve freedom!

All good points breh, but we can't forget from the previous administration;

- $20bn missing from the government treasury that was never accounted for.

- Record THEFT occuring in all areas of government

- Despite a positive balance of trade (which can be attributed to record oil and gas prices as you have rightly said) there was minimal investment in infrastructure. Nigeria had huge foreign reserves under Jonathan, and that was not directed into infrastructure, resource or human capital development.
