This Day (Lagos)

Nigeria may be losing more than N219 billion annually to Dubai due to the failure of the Federal Government to approve the procedures and guidelines for the take-off of the Tinapa Business and Leisure Resort in Calabar, Cross River State.

Does this country have any hope? This question resonates through my mind, almost on a daily basis. Apart form our cursed leadership, hopelessness stares the Nigerian youth; at every turn. We have resorted to "clean" jobs like "yahoo-yahoo" and the likes. I'm a young man of 19, privileged to be in a private university, but to me, it doesn't make any difference, I may have escaped the incessant strikes. Nevertheless, hopelessness stares, my generation has no future in Nigeria. I see a revolution...

Does this nation have any hope? I mean our leaders know what is right(or do they really know?), but they won't just do it. They Nigerian youth is daily confronted with a stifling atmosphere of hopelessness. If is not strike, one governor is siphoning money. We have resorted to glorified prostitution(our so-called Campus babes), and "yahoo-yahoo". I see a revolution, this won't go on forever, believe me. Torti Victor, Covenant University.
Is really so bad to be hearing things like this. When other governments are providing better lifes to their citizens, ours specialise in frustrating the lives of our youths and making things very difficult for them. The schools are not well equiped, no good hospital, roads are not to be mentioned, companies are pulling out of the country becaues of harsh economic enviroment. Just recently, the biggest textile firm in Nigeria closed shop complaining of high cost of production which made their goods to be uncompetitive to the global market. I think the government is mad, to be frustrating the Tinapa investment, which is the biggest in Africa. Revolution is inevitable. Cosmas, Pan-African University(LBS)Lagos.
Infact it is very unfortunate for our country , I think those in Goverment does'nt know any thing or they are there for their selfish interest . I don't know where they are geting there economic reformations that is not yeilding anything .They don't want to do the riight thing for the Nigerians. Look at a project that will help to generate income to the country and create employment to the restive youths, they are killing the good project with their corrupt custom officers. What hope do we have in Nigeria , Look at how they banned the importation of used cars into Nigeria but every day used cars come into the country creating jobs and economic boom for Benin Republic (Cotonuo). Do the country actually know what they are loosing annually on that . Well Let our leaders and their economic planners has a rethink.Generation unborn will not forgive them. Cicy Paris
