u are an idiot, so are u saying it's better they borrow funds to enjoy luxury than to pay subsidy? The money they've saved since they stop subsidy, what have they done with it... Guy u are either a kid still eating mama thank you, or u are just a daft fellow.. These politicians are borrowing money to spend on themselves and their generations to come and u prefer it to paying for subsidy?...if they born u well, go to kano and make this kind of explanation public, whether they won't lynch ur sorry ass.

Typical Nairalander, all noise zero intelligence! Bring stats let's compare rather than the useless blabbing! How much was Buhari borrowing to pay subsidies, how much is being borrowed now? You can make your point without sounding like an unfortunate clown!

You can say they are spending the savings ineffectively and actually offer real talking points but no, you chose your usual vile and disgusting mode of attacking the messenger and not the message......GTFO!

Typical reactive meantality rather than proactive. Shortsighted Nigerians only looks at the consequences rather than the root cause. For 8 years Buhari borrowed money to subsidize una lifestyle and una still crucified him for being the worst president. Now Tinubu has determined it is better not to borrow to subsidize and let the true state of the economy reveal its ugly head and viola!

We now know the real value of the Nigerian economy and we hate what we see! We now beg for Buhari styled governanace to cover our shame, the same style we crucified for 8 years......No be juju be that?

The honest truth is that the only thing that can save this nation is the one thing we do not want to do, BREAK IT UP!

It's very easy to cry like fowl about the problems after all Tinubu and his goons did the same to GEJ but the real heroes are those that can boldly talk about solutions. Nigerians continue to look for blames rather than a way out, Aisha can say what she wants but don't gforget she's a multi millionaire, she can afford the 77k rice so rather than letting Aisha to whine una, ask Aisha to come up with real solutions.

I dont know which age group you belong, probably younger than i am. I can attest to it that our nigerian society did gave something tangible to me, the free education up to university level myself and many nigerians of my generation benefited from is worthy of appreciation.
Investing in something like real estate for rent at affordable price , is the least i can do to give back to the society what the society gave to me. By so doing providing job opportunities for those involved in the building project , payments into the government purse in the process of obtaining the right documention is also a form of contribution to the society.
After working with paying full social insurance contributions for 3 decades in europe, the returns i get from such investment is of secondary importance to me..

From your write up it is clear that you belong to the Nigeria of old and not the Nigeria of the 90s and beyond. Since Abacha took over, I can't remmeber any free university education. Please know when we discuss issues let's look at things in their present state not some fantasies about what used to be. Nigeria hasn't given anything to its citizens since 1993 in fact all it does is take, take and take. Many dreams crushed, many hopes dashed.....An horror movie that continues to get worse day by day!

OkanlawonB:


Investment is not only for economic gains, sometimes it is a case of giving back to the society what the society gave to you.

What did the Nigerian society or government give to Nigerians living abroad? If that's too much to contemplate, how about what did the Nigerian society/government give to Nigerians? From security to education everything is paid out of pocket, sometimes you even pay without getting what you pay for.......People jaapa from a cancerous nation, you're asking them to give back......No be juju be that?

falopey:
People benefiting are Nigerians abroad who choose to stash their money in dollar abroad and not invest a single kobo in Nigeria but would rather invest abroad.

Why would any right thinking Nigerian living abroad want to invest in 9ja right now? Are you in the business of losing money?

God bless you for replying that human full of Hatred. He can never amount to anything in life with such hatred in his heart.

Slaveboy, I can be in America because UNLIKE A WHITE LOVING SLAVE LIKE YOU, black Americans fought the whites, distrusted them, and held them to account.

WHILE ALL YOU DO IS FALL AT WHITES' FEET AND ATTACK ALL WHO SUSPECT THEM OF ANYTHING.

It is because of sellouts like you, who love the white oppressors more than your own mothers, that so many Afro Americans cannot stand Africans.

You repulse them with your mindset of white worship.

They don't feel inferior to whites, unlike most of you British-brainwashed Nigerians who consider whites angels.



I know you're a mental midget. So you failed to remember I said I was hypothesising.



CALL YOUR PROSTITUTE FREE COCK SUCKING MUM the N word, you filthy, disgusting slave.

Final acts of a deranged being......America don show am shege......Las las you go dey alright werey

Catapault:


Slave body guard for oyinbo, did you not see where I educated you about the great divide in the US between the MAGA Republicans and the lilberal Democrats?

How does that amount to ''all whites are racist'' in your Uncle Tom, coon head?



You dumb Uncle Tom that calls the historic targeting of blacks in America ''playing the race card''.

Go and suck more white dick, you blasted slave.

Go and tell a black American millionaire who refuses to fly on a MAGA - owned helicopter to ''stop playing the race card'' and trust people who want blacks dead and gone!

And watch him blast your Uncle Tom sellout head to kingdom come.

If America was truly as racist as you said, your black ass would not be allowed to step an inch in it.....CHOKE ON THAT!

Here are your direct quotes:

"America is a country FILLED with hundreds of millions of white racists for whom black means 'poor and broke' by virtue of the propaganda they're raised with, and if you come with a different level, many will hate and resent you for it, and look to 'put you in your place'." HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, REALLY? ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE USA IS LESS THAN 350 MILLION, POPULATION OF WHITES IS LESS THAN 200 MILLION. FOR YOU TO SAY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS ARE WHITE RACISTS THAT MEANS YOU BELIEVE ALL WHITE AMERICANS ARE RACISTS......MUMU POINT #1

"In the REAL AMERICA, a black billionaire does NOT enter a helicopter owned by a MAGA republican!" HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS OWNED BY A MAGA REPUBLICAN? MUMU POINT #2!

If this was an actual intellectual debate you've already shot yourself in the foot, your low IQ is centered around making confrontational and illogical statements yet you think you're better than MAGA republicans? Nigga please you're just as IGNORANT

Catapault:


LOW IQ.

I never stated the owner was a republican MAGA.

This is all HYPOTHESISING.

We are asking ''Did he check these things to ensure his safety, or was he acting like an EMPTY HEAD LIKE YOU by trusting any and every white man he saw?

That's all I'm asking.

As a BLACK BILLIONAIRE IN AMERICA you must do DUE DILIGENCE before boarding a privately owned aircraft, and the FIRST THING you do, is find out the POLITICAL AFFILIATION of the company owner.

That is what AFRICAN-AMERICANS do.

If you DON'T do that, it's because you are an ignorant, trusty African brainwashed by the British and CNN to think that whites are angels who wouldn't hurt a fly.

Forum of coconuts and coons.

You just hate for your white gods to be questioned, don't you?

But you're experts at suspecting and distrusting your fellow black ethnic groups for the least possible thing.

You're pathetic.

Oh so you're calling an entire ethnicity RACIST based on hypothesis and not actual facts? That's like saying because you're Nigerian, you can't do anything without being corrupt or fraudulent.....You see say your head no correct?

If you had just led with the statement that the Billionaire was not security conscious instead of playing the racism card, there would be no need for this back and forth.......Again you be MUMU!

Catapault:


What has percentages got to do with anything?

Who said whites are not targeted for some reason, be it business deals, drugs etc?

Anybody can be targeted for any reason.

But for blacks, you can be targeted JUST FOR BEING BLACK, AND A BILLIONAIRE BLACK for that matter.

What are you even saying? That the white racists don't exist? That they don't kill blacks or target ethnic minorities?

Get off blasted CNN and go research the REAL America.

In the REAL AMERICA, a black billionaire does NOT enter a helicopter owned by a MAGA republican!

You, a dumbass from NIigeria, will enter any helicopter in America, so long as a white man smiles at you and says ''Welcome! Come right in!''

MUMU PEOPLE.

Again you're simply ignorant! Who owns the helicopter company? How did you verify that the owner or the pilot was a MAGA republican? Hope you know that 50% of whites in America voted against Trump......Your reasoning is simply foolish and not backed by any real data......You continue to amuse me with your junkyard rhetoric. Even if you've spent so many years in the USA like I have, it does not show in your reasoning or the way you comment, again you and majority of Trumpers have the same low IQ!

Catapault:


It is VERY different if you were born there, live there and know and trust certain people you would have known for decades, etc.

But as an African billionaire coming from Nigeria to flex, and you just look online and choose any nice looking helicopter hire company, and then use them, you are putting your life at risk, because America is a country FILLED with hundreds of millions of white racists for whom black means 'poor and broke' by virtue of the propaganda they're raised with, and if you come with a different level, many will hate and resent you for it, and look to 'put you in your place'.

You can keep worshiping them. Wigwe is gone because he trusted them like you.

Ewu.

Mumu go and sleep, every year in the USA there are about 25 helicopter crashes and guess what, 80% of them are whites! Your theory is not supported by data! For someone that criticizes Trump's supporters so much, you're just as paranoid and delusional as them. 90% of the things you accuse them of, you've just exhibited through your last 3 comments......OLODO!

Catapault:


Then rent a luxury bus or taxi .

Why must you enter a helicopter in which you don't know who serviced it, who may be targeting you, etc, etc, especially in a racist country like America where blacks are oppressed and discriminated against?

You don't do that. And it is because you people don't research these countries and have been brainwashed to love and adore the same whites who enslaved, raped and colonised your ancestors, that you always end up being so vulnerable to their schemes.

If Wigwe had spent even ONE DAY of his life studying the history of blacks in America, and the civil rights movement led by the assassinated Malcolm X and the assassinated Dr Martin Luther King Jnr, the thousands of lynchings of black people right up till the 1980s just for being black, he would never have entered that helicopter, as an African billionaire.

He would have rented a big luxury bus or caravan and travelled with his family.

Everything must involved racism to consipiracy theorist regardless of the fact that there are many wealthy black Americans with private jets and helicopter access. The guy was not as rich as some of the many wealthy Blacks, Asians and Hispanic folks in America, how come these people are still breathing?

Yankee101:


This is from the poster

Got a little weekly pay job from an academy in Europe

So who is wrong? Did you even read his post before trying to counter?

I wasn't responding to the poster, I was responding to your comment which stated he must have done something shady.....You were the one that made mention of amount and I subsequently told you, the amount has nothing to do with cancellation. Any amount can be flagged.....I don't know what you're arguing here but ENOUGH!

We've played this game before and we all know the aftermath. Scarcity of dollars, increase in peer to peer fx transactions. A minor strength in the Naira for a short period followed by a massive drop.

An economy that is reactive instead of proactive will sooner than later meet its waterloo......Dey Play!

Yankee101:


Read what I wrote very well
After all your arguments you still concurred

You literally started your comment with it's not a lot of money! So no I did not concur!

Yankee101:


It’s not a lot of money. Don’t see why it should get flagged and cancelled eventually. A relatively consistent amount of money from the same source to the same recipient is generally not an issue, Even if it gets flagged they might ask for more evidence and allow it pass but not to cancel it cos that will mean he might not be allowed to use the service anymore

Cancellation comes with reasonable doubt

I've worked in the financial sector for many years, many transactions are canceled, lot of money is defined by Western Union not the customer! Don't know why you feel cancellations has to do with a certain amount, your transaction can get canceled for many reasons from transaction history to country's reputation etc. It is up to the client to call them and pass through the verification process, a very simple task!

Yankee101:
Why was it flagged?

Have you EVER now or in the past been involved in anything funny? Even if it was years ago


Did you ‘help’ anyone transfer money in your name? Did you sell USD to someone who used it for anything funny?

Anybody can get flagged when the transactions reaches a treshold or ticks off a flag! Normal workers/contractors don't get paid by Western Union so that in itself is a flag.

ELERIBUUUUUUUUU

Who's going to enforce the minimum wage? Is it the government that is always complaining that it is broke? Is it private companies who must justify wages with declining income and the challenging economy?

Even if you are successful at pressuring private companies to pay such wages, what stops them from passing the costs to consumers who are also consumers of their products and services?

In short, increasing wages without increasing profits is a fool's errand.....Ofutufete!

Konquest:

I only referenced the DNA aspect for EMPHASIS. Let me re-edit that post so that folks don't misquote me.

I read the FULL article and saw that the lady distanced herself away from the bum of rapist like you have stated here. It's really emotionally draining for that woman to have been violated by a man she only had contact with once.

A good U.S. attorney should be to argue in favor of the woman because Lyft or any other rideshare firm should properly profile their drivers.

Lyft can only be held responsible here if the incident was reported, there is little evidence against Lyft especially if they can show that the trip ended hours before the incident occured. Lyft can't be held responsible for what their drivers do OFF trip! That's why their drivers are contractors not employees!

eyinjuege:
Left has over 4000 cases of their drivers sexually assaulting their customers..
Yet some men here are trying to blame the women/victims.
Whether she reported the case 5 years ago when it happened or now, that doesn't change the fact that she was raped . There's evidence with the birth of a baby

You stated 4000 as if that means anything, 4000 out of 40 million rides is what? About 0.01%, Lyft authorized over 40 million rides per year in the USA alone, so because of 0.01% chance of something bad happening, all accusations should be believed? You see why evidence is very crucial in cases like this!

Konquest:


When they arrived at her destination, the driver allegedly insisted on helping her inside, “purportedly due to her intoxication,” and despite her protests. Once inside, he assaulted her repeatedly, the complaint states.

My take on this: Simply run a full DNA test on all the probable Lyft drivers as of 2019 to detect the alleged rapist. If it matches the DNA of the baby, then you have the culprit. A boy has a right to know his real father though regardless of the circumstances surrounding his birth.

Women get intoxicated easily than men because they do NOT have the same amount of the body enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase that men have more of. Women have to take it easy on drinking alcohol when out clubbing or partying to avoid getting drunk and getting sexually assaulted or even killed afterwards by serial rapists. Period.

Did you read at all? Paternity test already confirms the father, I'm guessing the guy is a bum hence the bigger money maker is going after the rideshare company.

mundi111:

So you are suggesting we should just start dropping bombs on all the east because of them

No you're not comprehending, you're justifying October 7th because you feel Hamas is fighting against injustice, so using that same ideology, Biafrans could also claim the same thing. Don't you see how ridiculous that sounds? You want to fight injustice with violence and expect peace? No be juju be that!

mundi111:

Same thing should we go to war with US because it is a terrorist state do you know how many Palestinians are killed every year for the past 75years do you know how many loose their house yearly for no reason because someone comes from Poland and claims his ancestors live there 3000 years ago. No one is fighting for them and when dey push back you called them terrorist no that not right

So according to you, if Biafrans should come into any Nigerian state and start kpaing people, they're justified becuase they've been marginalized and abused over the years? Violence begets violence right? So nobody should cry genocide, make all parties continue firing one another and let's see how it ends!

This would only be practicable if eviction laws are also updated! Failure to pay on the due date attracts 10% late fee and failure to pay 7 days after due date allows for automatic eviction with just one paperwork at the court. This is how it is done abroad and everyone is satisfied.
