Absolutely, I see no reason why I should hide my records. Something might be wrong somewhere.

You think we are talking about a Nigerian university where your records are used to serve roasted corn or plantain?

Hubeznigeria:
Atiku is not challenging his election rather the authenticity of his academic records. And since he schooled at CSU, the court in Illinois USA has jurisdiction to entertain the case.

They'll entertain the case and swiftly dismiss it as U.S privacy law forbids such action. Think about it this way, can a Nigerian court compel an academic institution in the USA to release private data of one of its students?

Now think about how much harder it is for lawyers in Nigeria to actually do the same! What the court must consider here is how does this benefit the United States?

Ozommadu:
How was it under goodluck?? But you hated him with passion??

Funny people

Ehn ehn.....Now you're talking about the root of your issue....So it was not that Buhari was that bad or that Tinubu don finish Nigeria but your main beef is that your brother was ousted from power about a decade ago? No wonder you no fit stop crying once Obi lost......Take heart, 2031 is still very far

Ozommadu:
Less than 3months yet Nigerians are experiencing untold hardship even Buhari's wasted 8yrs was never like this??

After 6months you'll still request for another 2yrs

Oh now it was never like this under Buhari but your kinsmen were shouting that Buhari don finish the country, una curse am everyday and even said he was a clone......Funny people

Oga, Jesus Christ is Jesus-Christ in French and the last time I checked, the French are not English...

The same applies for languages like Polish and German to name a few...

So what's your point? Does that mean that Ireland, Somalia and other countries using different name are wrong?.....Please look at the link below, the world is much bigger than the West or Europe . Whether it is Joshua or Isa or Yesu, the meaning remains the same!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_(name)

maestroferddi:
Oga Jesus is not English but has the same renderings in most European languages...

The word Jesus is used mostly by English speaking folks, non English speaking folks do not call him Jesus. For example, some call him Joshua, Yeshua, Yashu and so on.

This guy called Reno is doing over busy body in matters that are clearly known , but lacks logic in most of his articles because he writes to please some people


The issue here is not about translations of names. Isa is Arabic recognized by Islam , not Christ or Jesus Christ. You dare not mention Jesus Christ in any mosque in Sokoto or any northern part of Nigeria mosque even though Isa is mentioned in Quran. You will get killed instantly if you dare it. You dare not mention Jesus Christ even in Muslim gathering in the north, not to talk of inscribing "Mary the mother of Jesus Christ" on the roof top of any mosque in the north and watch what happens.

Even though the name Isa is same as Jesus Christ, northern Muslims don't see it that way. If Reno wants to test this assertion, let him go to any northern part of Nigeria and go shout Jesus Christ , or Mary the mother of Jesus in Muslim gathering or mosque and let's check something. Oponu

Would you go to Nepal and call Buddha, 'holy one' instead of the word 'buddha'? Your reference to Jesus and Issa makes no sense since majority of Muslims are taught Arabic and majority of Christians are taught English when it comes to religion. So how then would you expect a Northern Muslim to refer to Prophet Issa as Jesus? Would you expect a Southern Christian to refer to Jesus as Prophet Issa?

You want to Jaapa as what? A visitor unable to work legally? If you're lucky you'll land in America or Canada where you can quickly get your papers within a year, 2 or 3. If you jaapa go U.K, just know that you're on a long thing.

Now 6 million is less than 8,000 USD, how long do you think you can last on that? That's not even enough money to survive 6 months in America, not to talk of hustling for papers.

My advice is to focus on whatever gave you that 6 million and continue to increase it if your mind is set on jaapa. Just focus on increasing it to 10m or more before even thinking of jaapa otherwise you'll only have yourself to blame when the reality of obodo oyinbo hits you hard like a Mike Tyson's punch .

If you're young and book smart, Canada might actually work out better for you if you've got certain skills.....Dem dey give people resident visas like candy right now

caye:
So, the real question is:-
-who gave NDLEA information?
Or has foreign agencies now have been listening to our phone conversations, just like FBI uses EFCC to capture, arrest, detain and cargo Nigerian fraudsters, to USA.


Or does the NSA now have the ability to detect private criminals ( not the govt-sponsored ones)?

You go explain tire, even when evidence dey . In advanced countries, all the enforcement agencies are interwoven. You can be stopped by any one of them and trust me they all have your data already.....Big brother is now Big papa

YoshihideSuga:
OP,

Nice thread you have here and your response to the question of how you built your wealth. I'm genuinely curious, how has your investments in Nigeria gone so far? I'm also outside Nigeria, but due to the economy and insecurity in some parts of the country, I'm wary about ploughing in dollars, except maybe an export driven business.

Awaiting your reply. Thanks.

Nigeria is a shithole, all investments lost over 50% of their highest value, my major investments I sold already and recovered my capital, only have few minor ones left. My advice is to put your money into something backed by the dollar or other high strength currency.....Naira is a joke!

BrighterThanDay:
Why is it that even when it is so clear from all indications that your daughter is married to an irresponsible man who is toxic. Nigerian parents will still say endure and stay there.

A lot of married young ladies are down with depression and even high BP because of marital stress. But they have to remain there. It's just so sad

Define toxic? It seems this generation is focused more on generalization than being specific! What is toxic to one relationship might not be toxic to another.

For example, one relationship might prefer husband to take charge of all the major decisions, another might prefer to discuss everything? Who's to say which one is right or wrong?

Another example, a wife that shouts on her husband and even grabs his clothes when they have an argument versus a husband that keeps silent and ignores the wife when angry, which one is toxic? Which one should leave the marriage? Are they both toxic? In such case, what should parents do?

The sooner we realize that we can't control everything, the better! We have relationships were BDSM is their catalyst, we have some where a deep secret prevents husband or wife from leaving.......This thing called marriage is not for the weak and it seems this generation is all about pointing out problems rather than finding solutions.

Many of una believe toxic relationships is about being physically abusive but most can't even recognize true toxicity even when it sits right in front of them. True toxicity leaves no physical scar, in fact to the outside world it gives no hint. How then do you expect a parent to intervene?

As much as I like her, she needs to be careful. There's no excuse for missing one drug test not to talk of 3 within one year. It would be a shame for her records to be tainted.

ArcSEMPECJ:
I wonder where Yaba left is situated that you are calling someone from another tribe Werey......lols

But from all observations, Tinubu really traded your Brian with foolishness, see how you reason without any iota of shame....imaging telling me that a man who is old enough to be your father came to NATIONAL television to make bad choices for your lord and savior Tinubu?
Don't tell me you will say same of your other elders and parents..
erigo gi seriously..... lols

If your father had made the right choice, he would have pulled out or used a condom.....Oh well

Yeah, that was the US of before...
God can not bless the gay infested, two tier justice system and thieving corrupt leadership as you guys have it today.

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2023/06/09/sule-buhari-spent-over-19bn-on-fixing-refineries-in-eight-years-without-results Sule: Buhari Spent over $19bn on Fixing Refineries in Eight Years Without Results

Money that would've been enough to build new refineries is what this same governmet you support spent in "maintaining" the current refineries, but we all know those funds were looted by the same government you support.

Now you're talking! We are saying the same thing, NO WORKING REFINERY! I have no business with Buhari's government as I never voted for him but if Tinubu f*ck up, so be it, he'll be voted out in 4 years time......As far as I'm concerned all government since 1999 have been FAILURES!

maasoap:
Nigerians will soon lynch him. Petrol price will surpass 1000 naira in three months to come if naira continues to fall and crude oil price continues to rise which is most likely

A country that imports 70-80% of all the things consumed in it, a country with no working oil refineries, should the people have any right to complain about high fuel price? Should the people have the effrontery to complain about weak Naira?

The harsh reality is that this is the true price of fuel for a nation like 9ja that refuses to do the right thing!

Kaiser20:
The money saved will be relooted into pockets of the Tinubu and Ole friends

We shall see!

YouAreNobody:
Honestly, sometimes I wonder the kinda brain you people seem to have. During Buhari's APC tenure, billions of dollars was allocated for turn-around maintenance of the refineries but what became of it?
The same thieving APC is still in power, with a bigger thief at the helm of affairs and you guys are still expecting changes. Who do una this thing?

Let me ask you, if you were the president would you remove subsidy at a go?

Stop blabbing, please specify the amount that was allocated for maintaining refineries, as far as I'm concerned Nigeria has no working oil refineries so what exactly would we be maintaining? Anyways go back and read my comment, I said BUILD refineries not maintain, fa ra buruku bale!

Don't be a coward......Nigerians would thank you in the long run, don't go back to subsidizing nonsense! Use the money saved and build refineries for God's sake! Build the damn thing!

Reprobate minds, who can cure

Look at how Apapa went disgracing himself and your tribe to the world , and here you are vomiting same , seems your destiny is to dwell in shame and never be upright?
Nobody supports impunity .....

You can't give me a leader who is a failure and wake up one day to tell me to support you , that the leader you gave me is a failure.....are you not a failure as well??......lols ,

People that change colours as situations change colours ....

If that is the way you reason, you obviously have bigger problems than just your sanity . Tell me your tribe and I'll list people from your tribe that have made bad choices and I expect you to feel like a failure because of their bad choices. I'll wait....Werey

ArcSEMPECJ:
If am a Yoruba man and have ever supported Tinubu, by now I should have dug a grave for myself awaiting when Shame will pull me into the grave....

You are really a strong man.....bravo to you....

As you no support Tinubu, hope say your life better than those wey support am? Don't worry in due time you go still dig that grave.....You can't cheat your destiny

It's an achievement just like graduation, celebrating 40, 50 , 60 years or more. It's an achievement just like having a baby, securing a good paying job, losing weight or stop smoking! An achievement is an achievement regardless of opinion!

ArcSEMPECJ:
The emergence of Tinubu's quest for power has really destroyed the integrity of Yorubas Nationwide and fostered hate, anger, shame and all manners of fake life.....

Imaging Apapa at his age coming out to disgrace his entire root and tribe for a peanut from a man whose identity, school years, classmates , source of income and is yet unknown....

May calamity not befall our dear Yoruba tribe for turning the truth upside down just because of a mere interest to become President.....

Just re-view the disgrace of Apapa in the Tribunal and know where the Problems of Nigeria not moving forward and has come to decay started......

Very shameful and disgraceful , where are the Elders ?

Una no dey tire to dey spew rubbish? A whole tribe is now tainted by few individuals? Just speak wetin dey your mind, your hatred was passed on by your grandfather to your father and then to you, e sure say you MUST pass it down to your pikin one day......Spits!

Immature woman married immature man....GBAM immature marriage! The guy is absolutely right, you knew his salary was a measly 150k yet you and your family are not willing to compromise.

A guy can cherish you and at the same time choose not to be stupid! Where I fault the guy is not opening up, he should have maintained his stance, no means no! If you no like am, make your papa marry you!

Listen fellas, don't try to impress any woman by ruining yourself financially, not only would the woman end up mocking you but she would leave you with the gbese and be on to the next Abrahamovic......Ji ma sun!

So you want to fight against Niger Republic because you are afraid of Nigerians who might do a coup in Nigeria?

Stoplying:
How many Nigerians are you ready to sacrifice in order to bring Niger Republic back into slavery to France ?

Before the coup, how many times did tinubu (aka ECOWAS) defend Niger Republic against exploitation by France ? But when they try to break free, we have to be there to punch them back to the ground and put them on a leach which we would hand over to France, right ?

How many coup would you watch happen until the threat of a coup within Nigeria becomes highly likely? I know una prayer, many of una secretly wish for chaos. You don't give a flying f*ck about Niger, BUSTED

BoldBrainz:
It's how the DSS gets to invade homes of private individuals without any sort of search or arrest warrants, only to whisk occupants away in gestapo style like hardcore kidnappers, that leaves plenty of cause for worry.

E be like say you don't know what they call DSS, do you think we're talking about police or army here.....DSS even in America can keep you in a dark hole for months and nobody would do shin shin, once you're classified as imminent danger to the nation, YOU'RE GONE!

UnfairLife7:
How many parents in Nigeria can comfortably see their wards through school without them contributing in one way or the other? Very few parents are in that category. Most of these lads chose cyber fraud as sustainance in school and after school. Yes i understand your point though. A child who lack nothing. Everything is being provided for him/her. I believe such a person should be able to think of what to do if not for anything, at least to relieve his/her parents from financial burden and perhaps allow them focus on his/her younger siblings. I get your point.

But you know there are students who singlehandedly sponsored themselves through school, had social life in school and still graduate top of their class? How will you feel if those people in that category also said they see no reason why someone would go through the four walls of university without coming out with at least 2.1? You called that personal decision or accountability but to them they somewhat see it as failure. To them anything less than 2.1 is nothing but failure. Sorry to say.


Besides, most of these guys don't even depends on their parents. They're mostly into cyber fraud and some other illegal means of making money. The ones who do not involve in fraudulent act depends on their parents which obviously is wrong.

All I'm saying is if you are lucky enough to have parents that sponsored you throughout university study, there's no excuse to still be depending on them after NYSC. Even if job no dey, the university experience should have taught you how to be resourceful! Furthermore, for students like that there should be no excuse not to get 2.1 or better!

Now, if the student had to struggle with finances by working, shouldn't such a student be more motivated than those who had it easy? I know for sure the most brilliant students from my set were those of very poor backgrounds. In fact one of the poorest from my set made a living selling handouts and conducting tutorials. Such a student after graduation would have no problem being resourceful even if job no dey because the entrepreneurial spirit was already activated!

UnfairLife7:
Itit is very much possible @bolded

Don't use your own situation/circumstance as a norms or general standard.

In Nigeria today, it is very much possible for graduates to depends on their parents in many ways. Someone who got admission immediately after secondary school or someone who was working after secondary school to support his/her parents for his/her education. There was no time to learn skills. I do not mean digital skills.

After school and service, you and i know majority of Nigerian graduates do not get job after school. It is not new to us anymore. Some of these graduates ended up with teaching job with paltry pay just to keep soul and body together. Some ended up learning one skills or the other (fashion design, plumbing, welding et al. They obviously depends on their parents/guidian during these period.

If you can comfortably assume you see no reason why a graduate should depends on their parents after school. What if someone said he/she see no reason why a reasonable person will go through school without coming out with at least strong 2.1 or first-class in a course he/she spent at least 4 years? What would you have to say to such person? I believe that person has reason for saying that just as you

All you've written are nothing but excuses! Go back and read my comment, I said the parents sponsored the kid through university, this means they are obviously not poor to the point that they need that kid to help out in providing income for the family. I'm going to say it again, if a parent can sponsor the child throughout his or her university education, there's no reason why such a child would still need to depend on the parent for survival after graduating.

Yes jobs no dey, yes the country hard but if these kids are still liabilities before and after university then wahala dey! University is more than just education, it's meant to teach young ones on how to be adults, how to network, how to relate with people from all over! If in 4-6 years you've never made a kobo by yourself while studying at a Nigerian university then you've learnt NOTHING!

Finally, your point about 2.1 or first class is also invalid. Yes there's no excuse for not being able to achieve such, failure to do so is nobody's fault but your OWN! It's called ACCOUNTABILITY! I graduated with a 2.2 and if I'm honest with myself, it was my fault, I chose the school, I chose the course and I chose social life over being a nerd....It is what it is!

The man gave her exactly what she wanted......A ready made product, the appearance of wealth, real or imagined

Ole.....Thief! More & more of you women will continue to find yourselves in situations like this because your main criteria in choosing a spouse is MONEY! Nobody wants to suffer but if you had your own bag, you wouldn't be too upset at the guy not being financially buoyant, in fact if you loved him enough, you might be the catalyst that finally gets him to sit up and be a real man but then again, women like this are NOTHING without their cash cow/man!

Don't know what cool aid/zobo y'all have been drinking lately but if you are fortunate enough to finance your child through 4-6 years of university, you do not owe that child anything else career wise.

All that talk about investment, art etc, should be for you! Only when you're okay currently and future wise should you even consider worrying about the career of a university graduate. You want your child to be independent, you want him or her to be able to survive under any condition. These kids nowadays get chewed and spat out by the harsh realities of society nowadays because they've not been allowed the freedom and autonomy to grow independently!

There's no f*cking reason, a twenty something year old graduate is still depending on mama or papa for feeding.....Makes no damn sense!
