9jaDoc: I answered your fake ID question. Even if you have fake ID we know where you took car. The person at chop shop will give you up. Police can track you down. The only thing car rental company's need is ability to verify IS on national data base. This issue happens in USA as well. Ps: If you believe there's no solution did you make thread to wail? Save mental energy of things that you believe can be solved. 1 Like |

9jaDoc: None of them can exist as they are if YOU and other Nigerians don’t want them. If you are a Christian, you can read the Bible on how the Jews obliged their God of Israel to give them a King (Saul) like other tribes. Our greatest ill, as blacks, is to want things without needing to work for it. It is called being irresponsible. We don’t want to be responsible for our successes and our failures. If successful, na God. If failed, na devil push me. Never accepting responsibility. 1 Like |

Blue3k: You r funny. What if I exported the car. In USA they know me. In 9ja they don't because I used fake id. Your solutions are a good effort but just because I made the thread does not obligate me to agree with every proffered solution |

seguno2: Where do u think things like #endSARS came from. It is like saying Abacha wouldn't have stolen money if I didn't want him to. I have very limited impact |
Re: List Of Nigerian Ills And How To Solve Them by seguno2: 3:30am On Dec 10, 2017 |
9jaDoc: Thanks for mentioning #EndSARS. Obviously started by just one person like you who kept working and expanding on the limited impact that she started with. Not so By the way, Abacha was just one individual like you at some point. 1 Like |

9jaDoc: I just told you this problem has been on rise in USA. That should tell you the USA doesn't have fraud proof system. Corrupt west Africans doing these schemes. You can Google that. Second you can't export car without papers. The cars vehicle Identification number would be reported stolen so you have export parts or clone new VIN. Again you have to take the car apart. The solution to issue getting database, maybe biometrics and lastly making ID harder to forge. There's no magic bullet. If they are caught in US they can be caught in Nigeria. I didn't tell you to agree with me. I told you it's a waste of time concerning yourself with unsolvable issues. You said the ID fraud can't be solved. 1 Like |

Blue3k: The BIG difference: in US they have a very robust car rental system, in 9ja zero. Sure they can be caught in 9ja but it ends with bribing the police or the judge. I said 9ja as we know it is too corrupt to solve the id fraud issue to be on par with US |

We now have BVNs. This can be used to identify citizens during financial transactions such as car rentals. As for corruption, it is a cultural thing. A combination of building livable prisons and implementation of taxes, may lead to a reduction in corruption. Better prisons will make sentencing people to jail for small crimes easier. A larger percentage of Americans have been to prison as opposed to nigerians. The prison system in America is termed correctional facilities. In nigeria, our prisons are synonymous with hell. Better prisons will make it easier to sentence people. Taxes, nigeria has a TAX to GDP ratio of about 6 percent. The Eurozone and America both have TAX to GDP ratios greater than 30 percent as at last year. Nigeria's earnings from oil is just not enough to cater for 180 million people. Consider this, America has almost always produced more crude oil than nigeria, yet they used to consume all their oil and still import from Nigeria. They use crude oil to increase their productivity and then tax their citizens. We just simply sell our crude oil and share the proceeds. Kind of like slave trade if you think about it. They use their human resources to build their nation. We simply sold ours for mirrors. 1 Like 1 Share |

anonimi: Lol. Funny but quite insightful cartoon. Also in those countries most actually love their country and are patriotic to the point of being willing to die for their country. Most Nigerians, on the other hand, openly express disdain for the country, think it is a failed state, and are willing to move to even quite unstable countries just to be out of it. |
