Daddy Freeze should stop wasting his time. People that will still give money for pastors to drive Bugatti, fly on private jet and wear Gucci will still donate no matter what you say. I sha know when Jesus did miracles in the Bible he didn't collect tithe.

United to support Tinubu? Una dey mad. Ori yin ti bu.

raker300:
Only thing uniting these people is the hate for igbos.

Get igbos out of the equation and they’ll be at each other’s throats..

Why do you think they’re against igbo secession?

You guys think too highly of yourself. Apart from the many igbo traders in SW that we are very hospitable enough to accommodate do you think Yorubas really give a shit about you guys?

Ishilove:
Hold the government responsible, not innocent people. The government owes us security of lives and property. You are jubilating that Fulani people are being harassed, but you cannot go to the Federal government to demand accountability and action.

Una doh. I'm not Yoruba but I was born and raised in Yoruba land. Imagine if indigenes come to attack me and my family because we are prospering in their land. Does that even make sense? Same goes for some of these Fulani people who were raised in Yoruba land. The ones committing havoc are just a small fraction of Fulani people because all the ones I know and grew up with are peaceful people who mind their business.

If every ethnic group decides to start harassing settlers, there will be a conflagration that will consume some of these people jubilating over the actions of Sunday Igboho.

These are lies. Yorubas are the most hospitable in the whole of Nigeria. If they are driving you out then you self don do pass yourself. You can't come and be kidnapping us in our territory. O to ge! I Enough is Enough. Sunday Igboho God speed abeg. Asides Akeredolu what have the other SW governors being doing abt the issue. Fulani is not the only tribe in Nigeria. Why all the trouble everytime?

When una wan implement Ruga, you didn't go to national assembly first. People are really getting sick and tired of the hypocrisy of these Buhari govt.

Just like no one should ask paedophiles why they are paedophiles. It's an annoying question

A woman sees another lady and get attracted or a man since another man and gets attracted. It's not common and it's quite unnatural but even among animals, so same-sex copulation has been observed. Live and let live.

My grouse is with America trying to make other nations that don't want this gay stuff yet seem like the baddies. If things are going to change, then let them change organically from country to country. Its not even up to 10 years that gay marriage was allowed in America.

Christianity is not the only religion in the world, get that in your skull.

Stop making life difficult for others because of your belief.

Stop acting like terrorists

Abi oooo...If he were Japanese he'd probably be practicing Buddhism. If oyinbo no come colonize us, we would probably still be worshipping Sango and Ogun. Abeg make una free that matter

Nigerians leave the Gay people alone. They are not our problem. They are not even up to 1% in our society. Face the poor infrastructure and underdeveloped country abeg.

Nigeria is a lawless country. The difference btw Nigerian and those advanced countries and what makes them work is that at least they have a minimum standard of behavior. Over this week, we have seen so many videos of soldiers and police assaulting citizens, yet not one will be punished for it. Even if they will be punished, it will be a slap on the wrist. This is why Nigeria is a jungle. Any country that doesn't follow the rule of law is jungle.

By today, which is inauguration day, Biden already has some bills ready to be sent to the senate for debate. That is a govt that knows what it is doing from the get go. Buhari's govt even after 3 months had no direction. America is indeed one of the greatest countries in the world.

When the vaccine reaches Nigeria, people like this would be the first to use under g influence to get first dibs on vaccine for them and their aged parents. Belive Nigerian politicians at your own peril. Vaccination or not should be a personal choice.

That is how one Nigerian pastor linked Covid 19 to 5G network and some people were hailing him.

I remember during APC rally, one thug try to snatch my phone when I was coming from work at Jibowu area. There was a scuffle, the guy almost stabbed me. I had to free my touch light phone with him and ran away with my Infinix phone then. Some of this touts deserve to die. Imagine a young vibrant man wasted over about 50k android phone. Thinking about it now, I shouldn't have struggled with this bastards. Sometimes fighting for your stuff is a reflex action.

Ghost01:
What has Africa got to do with this again?

You're Museveni, 76, has been the President of Uganda since 1986.

Nancy Pelosi, 80, has been representing her California District in the US House of Representatives since 1987.

Angela Merkel, 66, has been the German Chancellor since 2005 and has been occupying one political office or the other since 1991.

Jeremy Corbyn, 71, has been a British MP since 1983.

But for the period between 2017 and January 2021, Joe Biden, 78, has been occupying one political office or the other since 1973. He represented Delaware in the US Senate from 1973 to 2009 - 36 whole years!

This problem of elected leaders perpetuating themselves in office is not only an African problem. It exists even in the so-called advanced democracies. Modern democracy has found a way to keep that ignoble aspect of the monarchical system it supplanted.

A lot of you know how to perpetuate rubbish and call it being intelligent. The state of affairs in Africa alone warrants that no public official should be in the same position for more tha years 2 terms. All these foreign leaders you've mentioned don't steal from or oppress their people. Are you comparing Museveni to Nancy Pelosi or Angela Markerel. These are leaders of countries that can hold their heads high amongst the committee of nations.

15 million youths? Flesh and blood couldn't have revealed this. It must have been revealed by the Buhari in us

What does he expect after marrying a Marlian Fagbo jeun dobo

From blaming PDP in 2016 to Apology in 2021. Who do Nigeria this kind thing. Anyway apologies are for the unexposed. In real life, people must be held accountable. Who wan chop apology in 2021?

Anyway me I don Japa. E go be

Necksonnel:
I can see many hypocrite Nigerian blaming jack here. This is why a country like Nigerian will never move forward. Trump account has been given several warnings over time due to passing fake information, bullying, threats and inciting violence. His tweets have been removed several times before the ban but you guys thinks he need to be treated differently because he's president. That why the whites keep progressing because they don't care who you are, if you break the rule you will serve the punishment. If the account for just for an ordinary person who is inciting violence and get ban, none of you will complain but you think Trump need preferential treatment for breaking the rule

'

It is twitter and Jack that are the hypocrites. Quick to support insurrection in other countries and nip it in the bud in America.

hammerDK:
WHEN WILL THE SENATE SEAT TO CONVICT HIM?


AFTER JAN 20?


BY THEN HAND OVER WILL BE COMPLETE.

Their plan will be to ban him from ever contesting. Trump has cult following and they know this.They don't want him to come out in 2024 against Biden because the democrats risk the chance of losing against Trump esp if Biden underperforms.Politics is a game.

Omo this Nancy Pelosi na Gangstress ooo. Assuming sey na she contest against Trump instead of Hillary the former time he for no even win the past election.

I don't know whether it is a format or not. No one can really be sure or know Sam's mind except him. People get immigration benefits from spouse every time. It's not a crime.

But I'd like to say that many Nigerians are hypocrites. To be honest, do we really live much better than this in Nigeria? I mean, middle class families in Nigeria? Let's not at least lie to ourselves on here. This is the average living standard of a Civil Servant parent family in Nigeria. In fact they even have a bigger generator to pump water. Many families may only have tiger gen. So what are you all talking about. The Sam guy is probably starting his life in a new rented apartment. Is the quality of the average middle class quality of living in Lagos really better than this save all this fake instagram life? This video brings back memories of how I used to live in Nigeria a couple of years ago which I pray never to go back to so I gast double my hustle overseas ooooo... If Sam is earning 200k per month which in Nigeria is well above average, this would represent his standard of living. I also believe the lady is not working. She definitely needs to get a job to augment the standard of living.

Abroad is not easy but even people with minimum wage jobs have a better standard of living. I can assure you that if Sam is legit, he has a better job than 70% of people yet see the standard of living. This is why Nigerian youths Japa. Before you make noise peep your own environment as well.

iamclime:
I have watched Oloture and I must say it's a movie to keep. EbonyLife really delivered. As for the copyright issue, I'll go with Mo Abudu's version in this video. She spoke with facts and figures.
As for most of the comments here, it's clear that many people don't understand how copyright law works in Nigeria.
Tobore should go to court if she really believes she has a case.
And who else is wondering why her former legal counsel (as mentioned by Mo) disengaged?

As a writer myself (hoping to publish someday soon), this is my take:
1. Make sure you understand the *fine print* clearly when entering into contractual agreements.
2. Discuss any grey areas before signing.
3. When in doubt, ask a lawyer (especially one skilled and experienced in such matters.
4. Never be greedy! Greed ruins everything.

Nigerians are so dumb. Speaking with big grammar and dressing like the Queen of England doesn't mean you're speaking sense. The Ebonylifetv that is making a movie about someone without getting them fully involved in the story, I don't know the copyright laws but is that ethical? The said lady is still alive oooo.

@nextstep.Along your argument you contradicted yourself. I will reply you with your own words. "Should we because of the possibility that protests will turn violent, make all protests illegal? " You seem to know about the U. S law a lot which is great. However, I'm also good with logic as well. There is no record of anywhere of Trump saying the word coup or asking for an insurrection atleast explicitly. He is smart enough to know not to do that because of the potential legal consequences. However, did he instigate the violence at Capitol Hill. Certainly! I watched the video when he appeared and he simply told his supporters to March on the Capitol, demand for their rights and ensure "The Steal" is not successful albeit in a very sesecionist and aggressive tone. He knew what he was doing! At the end of the day it turned violent. ENDSARS was similar. We had people on Social media spurring people on. At the end it turned violent as well. Should we now hold Femco accountable for the violence too regardless of if their intentions were altruistic or not. Is there anywhere Femco told pple to start looting?Are we even sure if Femcos motives? I'm very proud of Femco even though we may never know what they stand for but they gave many people a voice. Trump may give the same argument but this is not even my contention. My contention is that Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok etc which are for profit companies now have so much power. This is why they are not allowed in China. Every thinking govt must know how to deal with them. If twitter had blocked Endsars after a few days the protests would have died a premature death and may not have resulted into violence. Of course, they will lose their credibility but.... However in Trump's case, they were quick to censor Trump citing that he is instigating violence. Why the double standards? Is breakdown of law and order in Nigeria inconsequential?

If a country like China or Russia doesn't allow such companies now you can clearly see why. As advanced countries as well, they had seen the hand writing on the wall early on and nationalized social media. Essentially with the way social media is now, a foreign country can instigate another foreign country's citizen against its own govt thru social Media. You don't even have to put boots on ground anymore like in Iraq or Afghanistan. You just have to instigate them on social media and supply them funds thru bitcoins to "destroy/build" (however you look at it) with their own hands without firing a shot. It's way cheaper and easier to absolve yourself of any fall out.

The pen is mightier than the sword they said. Moreso in the 21st century. Even Herbert Macaulay knew this over a generation ago. Any thinking non western country can't completely leave this power of the pen in the hands of for profit western tech companies whose alegiance is only to dollars and the western society. It could be a severe breach of national security. PS: By right thinking a country like Nigeria is not what I have in mind.

nextstep:
You're right about we needing to understand our own history and not believe what we've been spoonfed. However, I need to respond to the comparisons you made between EndSars and this terrorist act.

There's a BIG difference between the people petitioning their government via protest, and the people invading the seat of government. There's a BIG difference between organizing a peaceful protest against maltreatment by government officials, and a President actively encouraging an insurrection to harm the country and its officials. Please don't conflate the two.

Sorry I do not agree with you. Censorship is censorship. I really do not have an answer to what or who should be censored and who should not. Trump did no more to encourage the protesters than FK or Savvy Rinu did during EndSARS. Let me first clearly again state that I don't like Trump and I still supported EndSARS and for once Nigerian youths made me proud (although I'm yet to see the benefits of the protest)

However, since Trump's legal channels of contesting the election all failed, he simply incited his army of Trumpers (Don't forget that 70 million people were counted to vote for this man). I believe he should be charged for this. And possibly prosecuted because I believe inciting the public is a crime. But is it really? If you look at EndSARS forgetting that FG may have pushed in touts to disrupt it, we can say FemCo also incited the public which led to a riot. And they could be held accountable as well. But they were never banned by twitter even after the destruction of lives and property by people most of us now believe to govt paid hoodlums. They were even supported with Bitcoins by Jack of twitter.

How does twitter become the judge, jury and executioner of who is allowed to air their grievances and who is not. Such a system with no check and balances is bound to be mismanaged, unjust and fraudulent.

The other option is to just be like China where the govt just controls everything. But the heck, isn't that we are all wearing masks now since nobody could blow the alarm on Covid early?

Summary: I don't know the answer to this problem. In a free press system I'd expect such decision is made by a law court. But the way information spreads nowadays will mandate at an instant would mandate that judgement to censor or not to censor can be give on the fly. No system is perfect

New Scam ke? This is old scam ooo. They did it to my sister a couple of years ago. That Murtala airport needs to be burnt down and started from scratch. I'm sure the custom officers are still collecting bribe to allow you check in your Nigerian food items. No be today. As much as they scam reach the all airport still looks like sh.i.t.

Brandonx:
The government didn't give us anything, what we southerners have today we worked very hard for it.
It's quite annoying that Fulanis would come down and start kidnapping us for ransom and the government is doing nothing about it.

Just like when prostitution started in Edo State girls were trilled with the way Italy returnees were throwing money around and acquiring property this made most girl started running to Italy same way these Fulanis would kidnap go back home to throw money around (quick money) this would lure more into it and since the government is not doing anything about it more would come and if nothing is done by 2023 I'm afraid you might find 4 Fulanis out of every 10 persons you meet on the road.
When they first started with farmers we did nothing, now they are kidnapping soon they would come to people's houses to hold then hostage and demand for ransom.

In fact you don talk am finish. By that time it would be full inter tribal war. Even Amotekun will not know what to do. State Police dem no go hear. Restructure the country dem no go hear. Nigeria is gradually tending to a failed state. The fulani that are kidnapping can't do it among their own people but the freedom to go and commit attrocities down south and then go back to their community as free men. Na wa... Before you know it tribal war don start. Make everybody get shotgun na him remain. Unfortunately e no concern your governors because they move around with police. But one day them go still kidnap VIP because the Fula kidnappers are also brainless. Na that time govt go do something. Just dey watch

gypsey:
You may be right on that, but what i am trying to understand is, the immigrants who has British/American passport would they be priority also just like people who were born in these countries? If i used the word "citizens" you would find people born in the country and immigrants with resident permit, british or American passports are also citizens I guess.


I have never worked in Nigeria, So i wouldn't know how valuable a foreigner would be in terms of work in Nigeria.

Look! My point all along is, foreign companies in Nigeria should employ individuals who are qualified in a Job rather. The britsh/Americans or any European country should do the same too.


The Idea of making birth citizens priority appears discriminating. It would be like Burger King employing me before an "immigrant" even though most immigrants would work harder than I would. My views anyway.


I have learnt something from you today. Cheers for that.

Thank God you said you've not worked in Nigeria so you clearly don't have an idea about what you're talking about. Well, I have worked in Nigeria and U.S so I know what I'm talking about.

International relations should be reciprocal. You're going round in circles. The main point is that "expat" workers get higher pay and more benefits than their Nigerian counterparts even in the same position. If the "expat" leaves that position today, and the Nigerian that has been understudying him for years assumes that position, all the benefits and salary is often stripped off. My point is that it is only in Nigeria that you see such behavior within companies both local and multinational. You will never see such abroad.

Or should I talk about the billionaire naira multinational company that I worked in Nigeria that has a separate canteen and toilet for the "expat" and local staffs? Would this ever fly in your UK?

mvem:
bullshit...when you are dark it is because of melanin and nothing else. If a very dark sudanese goes to the North Pole where enough cold and less sun , he/she will still be dark...

That is not true. Melanin get's developed from sunlight. Ever since I moved abroad, I became lighter. When I look at my pictures 5 years ago, I'm at least 2 tones lighter now than then and I don't even use any cream

gypsey:
You tell me! You mentioned it.

I agree, with you in terms of People with visas, but What about people with American/UK passports?
Nigerian government do not even award contracts to Nigerian owned firms, They give the contracts out to foreign companies rather. But they wanna force foreign companies to make Nigerians priority when employing staffs. Perhaps Nigerian government should support Nigerian companies and they would employ Nigerians.

Even as a Nigerian born person (with U.S/UK passport or not) . If you setup a company in the U.S or U.K, they will still mandate that their citizens are given priority for employment. So clearly you don't know what you're talking about. Anyone that has worked both in Nigeria and abroad knows that there is a lot wrong with the way we classify "expats" in Nigeria. Not to mince words, it's utter BULLSH.I.T. You get more value for your work as a foreigner in Nigeria than a Nigerian in Nigeria even if you're doing exactly the same thing.

luvmijeje:
Trump is occupying a position that is too powerful. If not for that blockage, there would have been civil war in America.

The same twitter that didn't block EndSARS? They were even facilitating bitcoin donations for them. Talk about double standards. So the Jack (owner of twitter) doesn't care if the protests spiral out of control and Nigeria burns to the grounds? These just highlights the fact that there is no freedom of speech anywhere even in America. All we have is powerful people pushing certain agendas and if it doesn't fit the bill, you can be blocked or censored.

Till now some people still errorrneously believe that Lord Lugard amalgamated Nigeria for our interest and Mungo Park discovered river Niger. Some bunch of crap that our fathers read in those British textbooks then.

Do you know that the wars between the British empire to take over Lagos, happened multiple times and over few years? That the Lagos side also had guns and canons and not axes, sticks and stones? That means we were also civilized by then. If we were so happy to have the white people amongst us, then why did we fight them at first. You wouldn't read that in any of our history textbooks would you?

PS: I don't like Trump and I supported EndSARS and end of oppression in Nigeria and I still do.. I only found out about the Lagos wars few months ago and I was utterly surprised since atleast I consider myself to have at least basic education!
I would suggest that if you're an African or black person living in these white man's world and you read about history, you really need to dig for yourself to find the truth. As they say, history is written by the victors for their own benefit.

gypsey:
Fine, maybe i don't know.


i still want to know who an immigrant is.

Ask google or check a dictionary bro.

gypsey:
I don't think so, mate! Companies Don't have to proofs anything, they don't even have to abide by the policies. Companies employs those who they believe are qualified, fit and trustworthy for jobs in their firms. Trustworthy which many nigerian are not.


Who is described as an Immigrant? People with citizenship, American or European? or what? Those people are also allowed first jobs as citizens and passport holders of their resident countries.


So who is an immigrant?

You certainly don't know what you're talking about. Any it seems you have UK citizenship so you may not know. But generally, that is how it's done in U.S and the U.K for job based work visas.
