April Fool?

lapazi:
Is it everything thatwe see that has to be on the internet?

Did the driver of the camry give to you consent to upload the pictures showing his/her plate number?

what is the essense of this post now?

It’s a PUBLIC event on a PUBLIC street, and thus the driver has no right or expectation of privacy...

And the “essence of the post” is to forewarn others of the dangers of doing whatever the driver was doing. SMH

Admitwithschola:
Indeed. I think they are not saying failed marriage caused IVY acceptance. I think they are saying despite the failed marriage, the pikin is turning out well. These are two different things, as you would agree.

Sorry but I still do not see any logical connection. Are you suggesting that kids of a failed marriage are expected to become dumb or underachievers? With all due respect to the woman she should not make the kid’s story about herself and her failed personal relationships.

JBoss25:
foolish girl, so what if your cousin or your brother was the yahoo boy? Think before you type

While I do not agree with her general sentiment on extra-judicial killings...

What difference does it make if her cousin or brother was the yahoo boy? While we shouldn’t be supporting the killing of yahoo boys (even after trial), it shouldn’t mean supporting relatives who are criminals. Such relatives DESERVE the same punishment as any other criminal.

Well even in the United States , if you are a frauduster or into any scheme to defraud people , you get arrested and prosecuted the right way. No police officer put someone’s life into his own .

If he had scammed 1 million people , did he scam you ? There is a process to go about all this . You don’t even have a proof to show he is into yahoo or ritualist . Na watin you hear you Dey use judge .

That’s why jungle justice will continue . Because from your point I could see you on the road and assume you stole something and people will gather , beat you and burn you . Meaning we put laws into our hands . Maybe you think before you open your mouth . The next person could be a family member of yours .

While I AGREE with your general point...

Unfortunately, one of the primary reasons that so-called jungle justice persists in Nigeria is that the citizens have little or no faith in the legal or criminal justice system. In far too many cases, criminals who have been turned over to the police authorities have simply paid off someone and walked scot-free - and of course if they are the vindictive type have been known to come after those who turned them in. When the system is so seemingly irretrievably broken, the frustrated citizenry unfortunately resorts to self-help. We all need to do better.

I can see a ticking time bomb in Nigeria, about to detonate. It is speedily reaching its apex.

Yahoo Boy makes money and becomes a celebrity in his neighbourhood because he shares part of his I'll gotten wealth with his hungry niggas.

SARS tried to extort money from him but he wouldn't succumb, so they killed him and lied on stray bullets. Both the SARS and the Yahoo boy are mad.

One day Yahoo will no longer pay, and these boys who are already used to the wasteful and extravagant lifestyle will do anything to maintain that standard. Soon, young boys will go around with guns in broad day light, beating people and stealing from them. By then SARS will have a real work to do. They will attack the boys and they will shoot back at them. Its going to be a real war, just watch out.

The level of hunger and joblessness sometimes makes you not want to blame these Yahoo Yahoo miscreants, but then again, Crime is Crime and should never be encouraged.

Nigerians, if you have a means to run out of this country, just get out. Things will get even worse.

PS: Does anyone have a link to migrate to Canada? Make una helpe me o.

If that was the real cause they would not be blowing their stolen loot on Oloshos and (as you put it) “wasteful and extravagant lifestyle”...
We have to recognize that some people are just ‘naturally’ criminally-inclined, and that’s why even in rich/welfare countries there’s still crime.

Anagha123:
Even though this guy was doing yahoo, he doesn't deserve to die this way.

This injustice must be stop and we can't allow this to continue.

Police are suppose to protect us, not kill us.

Exactly! Even criminals deserve due process...

francis5051:
Seriously I regret being a Nigerian..

Why? Nigeria’s condition is the result of the conduct of Nigerians (by commission or omission). We either own it or change it...

Eko o ni baje!
Lagos is working.

“Repeat after me” analysis...
The Nigerian chattering class just crams and regurgitates anything any Oyinbo person says. SMH

CodeTemplar:
Hmmm... now you are digressing in every new post you make. I take that to mean you are subtly running away.

Let’s make this SIMPLER for you...

Do you think that the values of Nigerian leaders have anything to do with Nigeria’s economic condition? Y/N

CodeTemplar:
Dull again. Do people go to advance nations for their societal values or for economic reasons?
The answer to the above holds key to your ignorance.

Only an ignorant person does not realize that societal values are intertwined with and inextricably-linked to economic health... SMH

Do you actually understand the import of what you write? Or (as the other dude duly noted) do you “just spew stuff”?

Chukwuka16:
You are deliberately skewing the arguments from quality of research to age of institution.

In academics, age is irrelevant. Mind you UI or CU can't even compete with many post 1992 universities on the UK. What about NTU or KAUST who though young are boasting impressive publications?

Don't just spew stuff. Not all readers on nairaland are gullible.

I’m afraid the dude can’t help himself...

Hopefully the next place she will be carrying buckets of water will be in PRISON!

Proof positive that you do not require a good education to be a Governor in Nigeria...



....just kidding o!

RIP kid..

Meanwhile, in that superstitious ZOO instead of looking to arrest and prosecute the moronic TEACHER that sent the kid up the tree they are muttering nonsense about “evil” tree, and next thing they will pay a Babalawo conman to ‘cleanse’ the tree. SMH

Congratulations to the kid...

But what exactly is the connection with failed marriage? Many Nigerians get into Ivy League schools without their parents marriage failing.

elotajohn1:
They said Africa na stone age Continent.
They are not there for the interest of the Nation.
Anything they can do to cover the unclothedness of the Dull Man... That's what it is all about.

Thank God I am leaving this zoo very soon

Good for you, but...

Even if you physically leave this zoo, the stink and stain of this zoo will follow you around forever in ways that you cannot even begin to fathom. It is therefore in our best collective (and long-term) interest to make this shyte-hole work for all of us. Cheers and good luck!

mmb:
The party is supreme. And all members who won election on the party's platform need to respect its decision as long as it was done with good intention.

Allowing what happened in 2015 to re-occur again will affect the policy and programme implementation of Buhari administration.

NO, it is not! Which is why we chose this system of government over the Parliamentary system.

Once elected into office, the holder becomes a Senator of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA and not of the APC (or any other party). Accordingly, their votes and decisions should be that which they believe to be in the best interest of Nigeria and not necessarily just in the narrow interest of the party. If both interests coincide, then that’s great but party interest should always be SUBORDINATE to national interest.

CodeTemplar:
You problem is low level of wisdom combined with knowledge of too many irrelevant facts. Jesus was sent to those people you call prostitutes but Covenant Uni as a school wasn't commissioned for the sake of handling such characters ( prostitutes ).
The fact that Jesus was with a prostitute is no excuse to open the doors of a school with a different vision to such characters.

So becos people fast and pray for visa to those countries we can no import all the shitty values the have into our system? You are plain dull.

This dude cannot even grasp a basic analogy...

And yes, if you find people’s values to be “shitty” why are you struggling and risking life and limb to be surrounded by such values?

Nigerians love to make “show” of their supposed piety, but meanwhile their loudest pastors are keeping and impregnating mistresses and concubines. SMH

NONSENSE!

How many government factories are still working or working at full capacity?

It takes a special brand of idiocy not to be able to learn from one’s own experiences. Rather than diving into commercial ventures best left to the private sector, the government should be concentrating on the government’s job of developing infrastructure (reliable electricity, good roads, rail lines, etc.) and improving the ease of doing business in Nigeria, to make it easier and viable for private investors to jump at these commercial opportunities which they will run better and thus create jobs and further opportunities.

RIP...

Our poor roads are bad...
But our poor drivers are worse.

CodeTemplar:
Stay there and be talking pure rubbish about how rasta hairstyle is part of one useless creativity. If you want to do rasta, there are many useless and open campuses that allow those and even allow gangsterism.
The private schools have their visions and it will be stupid for a student to gain admission and start demanding that the school change rules so their peers can regard them as big boys.

Notre Dame is a private Catholic university, so your driveling is ill-informed...

Again, many Nigerians keep chasing shadows in derogation of substance. Even the founder of your religion was reportedly keeping the company of a well-known prostitute, perhaps because he was not mistaking the trees for the forest. Funny how so many ignorant Nigerians turn their noses up at the West and their supposed “uselessness” - but will then go to prayer meetings and fasting to get a Western visa. SMH

I have no problem with her being GIFTED money...
But I have a problem with her DEMANDING money.

Make me see go find pikin wey I go video. I gass to blow

Next time, please distribute textbooks and/or scholarships instead...

kmcutez:
Please come back and take your bibles. No one in Nigeria is practicing what is written there.

Abegi, what is this “banishment” nonsense?
Dude should simply be handed over to the police for prosecution.

Well done!

The authorities should go even further and prosecute these lecturers in criminal courts.
There should also be a National Register that ensures those convicted simply do not move on to teach at other schools.

The instinct of many Africans towards authoritarianism rears its ugly head again...

Ironically, the most effective antidote against so-called “fake news” is exposure to sunlight - while countering it with real news.
