Yes! At last, he succeeded in using his late son (Former Davido D.J) for rituals (Political gains), abi? Same way Tinubu sacrificed his 1st born for Political success.

I'm a thorough bred Ijinle pampam!

Ikpeazukerosene:
But if your father used you for rituals, he won't be able to win even a bottle of free coke.

BuhariAdvocate:
Any similarity between you and a human is purely coincidental!

Ouch! That’s all kinds of wrong...

Thanks to Google...
It appears primarily concerned with OSTENTATIOUS dressing (display of wealth).

I don’t own a bible...
So I’m afraid you have to spell it out for me. Thanks.

kennygee:
They should start enforcing the rule in their church first.

A lot of young people go to certain churches cause they are allowed to wear what they like.

Judgement will start from the house of God, let us ensure the body of Christ is not brought to disrepute.

I must confess my relative unfamiliarity with the Bible...
But (at least from BK in school) do not recall people destined to heaven or hell based on fashion choices.

Unfortunately, we Nigerians have become specialists in chasing shadows instead of substance...
Anyone paying more attention to what people are wearing in church than to the sermon have REAL ISSUES!

And why is someone sitting comfortably on the highway median?
The problems of trying to build modern infrastructure for ancient people.

BlueRayDick:
Why would they sit in the bus and keep mute when the driver faced one-way, knowing fully well how heavy duty trucks ply that area?

Were they mad or something? Because I know who the gods want to kill they first make mad.

The way we so embrace lawlessness in this Country ehn, it's alarming.

Now see the end product

You are wrongly presuming the passengers did not protest...
And that if they did so, the drivers/conductors would heed their protest.

The conundrum is that we Lagosians recognize Danfo for the madness they are...
But many will nonetheless attack/criticize someone like Ambode when he proposed replacing them.

magicminister:
No emergency services in Nigeria. If you get hurt, you’re fucccked!!!

Lagos actually has pretty good emergency services...
LRU has been one of the abiding legacies of Lagos governments.

montumonami:
This is why I hate Lagos.. Dude was probably trynna beat traffic

As if that justifies madness...
Meanwhile, it’s because most drivers do not obey basic rules that traffic gets out of hand.

Danfo again!

Meanwhile, I hope LRU ambulance was nearby to take care of that lady before she goes into shock or bleed out.

Xtfield:
Nothing wrong with borrowing to aid your business. I have done it several times and have been able to repay without any stress. The problem is not with the lender but with the borrower. In borrowing, I follow four simple rules:
1. Never borrow more than your current income can repay. If you read the post, you will see an akamu seller who borrowed 20000 naira. What for? 5000 would have been enough for such a business. Most people will borrow any amount once it is available.
2. Never divert loans to other uses. Use any loan for the purpose for which it is meant. I once borrowed a huge sum from LAPO for a project. I spent all the money within 24 hours on the project to prevent me from diverting any part of the loan on any other thing. The project was meant to enlarge my business and the swift completion of the project accomplished that purpose. In ten months, I was able to repay the loan in full.
3. Do not borrow for recurrent expenses such as payment of children School fees, hospital treatment, burial or naming ceremonies, payment of rent, purchase of pleasure cars or motorcycles, clothes etc. You must only borrow to finance an item that will generate funds.
4. Do not live an extravagant lifestyle. Discipline yourself to live below your means. This is one thing we always find difficult to do in this part of the world. When we make little money, we begin to live large, buying expensive and most times unnecessary things.
To me, these four rules have been my guiding principles and I recommend them to anyone that wishes to take a loan from whatever source.

Thank you!

dayleke:
Modern day slavery.
Why are they still being allowed to be in business?

How is it “modern day slavery”?
While NOT supporting crude recovery methods, is it by force to borrow money?

The issue with many Nigerians is...
They either borrow with no realistic plan to repay or no intention to do so.

There’s also a Culture of Entitlement...
That seem to believe that loaning money is evidence the lender can afford to lose same.

Meanwhile, KUDOS to Ambode (and Fashola?) for the LRU...

PS: Look at the number of Danfo buses involved in those accidents. SMH

AwkaetitiBabe:
Puleeeaasse! We have smooth roads where drivers speed without accident.

What speed can u even engage in without meeting traffic in Lagos sef?

I feel the marine spirit from the ocean is at work ni or Lagos drivers dont go to driving school or the stress of living in Lagos catches up with them making them sleep off while driving.

I've experienced a driver sleeping while driving o, that shii ain't funny

Abegi, enough with superstition...

The reality is that many Nigerian drivers are semi-literate or even illiterate...
Even the literate ones have to be properly taught how to drive when they relocate abroad.

naturalwaves:
100km/h is not too much on the 3rd mainland bridge. It is a misinformation to say that the speed limit is 70km/h. I know I sometimes do 110, 120 but 100 is not too much.
http://www.highwaycode.com.ng/ix-speed-limits-on-different-roads-and-for-different-vehicles.html

Then YOU are part of the problem...
Highway Code is a general guide, the REAL speed limit is what is actually signposted on each road or bridge.
>

The reason is that NIGERIANS drive on the bridge...

The AU should demand DEMOCRACY, and not just “civilian” government...
But it would be difficult to demand something many members cannot recognize.

In Nigeria, planning is easy but implementation hard...
Thank you Buhari/APC for implementing PDP’s masterplans.

Xenophobic? You think half the folks there can differentiate between Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon or Niger Republic?

Joromi12:
pan ocean just go like that, them go soon seize that their fine office for ligali

OPL 98 has been operational since before most of us were born (starting in 1976), so doubtful that there’s really much reserves left there. Their more interesting asset should be OPL 275 (which they co-own with the NNPC).

BleedingPen:
The Federal Government has revoked five oil mining licences (OML) and one oil prospecting licences (OPL) belonging to five companies, Igbere TV reports.

In a statement issued by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) on Thursday, and obtained by Igbere TV, it said the revocation was based on a presidential directive to “recover legacy debts” owed by the companies operating the licences.

The five companies affected were listed as Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (OML 98); Allied Energy Resources Nigeria, (OML 120 and 121); Express Petroleum and Gas Company (OML 108); Cavendish Petroleum Nigeria (OML 110) and Summit Oil International (OPL 206).

http://igberetvnews.com/749909/breaking-fg-revokes-six-oil-licences-see-list/

Summit Oil is MKO Abiola’s oil company...
Interesting timing a few days to June 12 (and I believe they operate OPL 205, not OPL 206).

Amuocha:
Ambode sef

Saltybear:
Amen for you my bro

Abeg comot that dustbin.. na animals full there! They are like crabs they rejoice at your downfall after singing your praises and eating your food .. Run and never look back Nigeria is cursed the people deserve all that befalls them there ..
After you leave just come to nairaland and be commenting but laughing at them


When I see crisis and killings I just sip soda and chill then smile

Let them suffer for their ways . They are a terrible race of human beings called Nigerians

Do not ever waste your pity on them

Infact I pray buhari usurps power perpetually and rules for the next 80 years like Mugabe

By then hopefully Nigerians will be starving enough to be eating each other

Amen

Bros, you can vent as vehemently as you want and run as far as you can...
You still ALWAYS be Nigerian, and so would even your children’s children (regardless of where they are born)!

frankson1:
Sir, have you read or heard where Amnesty international condemn or speak against attacks and killings carried out by boko haram and other dangerous militant groups?
Amnesty international only scream when the Nigerian Security Forces try to defend unarmed civilians.

Yes, Amnesty International regularly condemns Boko Haram’s attacks on the civilian population and its kidnap of women and children...

Nevertheless, there a substantive difference since Boko Haram is NOT a government nor a state actor, and essence of Amnesty reports and recommendations is for the government or state actor (military, judiciary, legislature, MDA, paramilitary, etc.) to undertake corrective action consistent with the government’s legal obligations and supposed commitment to protect/promote human and civil rights, including Nigeria’s legal commitment as signatory to several international human rights treaties/agreements and as guaranteed by the NIGERIAN constitution.
>

Nigerian “leaders” always chasing shadows instead of substance...
Amnesty highlights issues, but instead of addressing the issues you attack the messenger.

babyfaceafrica:
all this international organizations are spies for America

First, Amnesty International is NOT a US organization...
Second, have you not seen AI’s criticism of the US itself?!

fuckerstard:
They should go and fix the old ones too..

success1smyn:
or sell them to public transport operators

They should do no such thing...

We are trying to upgrade/modernize public transport in Lagos (to hopefully entice more middle class Lagosians to leave their cars at home), not turn the clock backwards and return to the vehicular-coffin days of the Molue.

loomer:
The funny thing about all these be say, those old buses will be left to rotten somewhere whether or not them dey in good working conditions just because them don see new ones

They should chop them up and sell them as scrap and/or for parts...
Those things are not fit for a modern mass public transportation system.

JABB:
The Buses are supposed to be meant for ikeja terminal to be used for BRT but been transferred to the civil servant..... So now that means Oshodi to ijaiye BRT project go wait be that o

Ambode bought 820 of these new buses...
Ceding this 35 buses to the Civil Service shouldn’t substantially affect the BRT.
