How did the police manage to arrest that white guy involved in the school shooting last week, but is unable to arrest an unarmed woman.
Mind you the guy was carry an automatic rifle.

Do you know how big the USA is? You expect the police in one state to behave like police in another state? Police are humans too, they are error prone. One officer might follow safety protocol while another will go gun blazing, I learned much about the issues they are facing when we audited their cyber program in DC. Furthermore, the fact that the media only seems to promote racial motivated cases says a lot about how gullible they want the public to remain. Right here in georgia, whites gets killed all the time, from high speed chase to drug related busts but it won't make the news because well, WHITE ON WHITE SHOOTING IS NOT NEWSWORTHY!

Play stupid games win stupid prizes! Everybody is triggered in America, cops, teachers, students, parents, neighbors, EVERYBODY! When it comes to cops, even when you're innocent, put your hands up and lie flat on the ground. Forget decency or pride, this is about survival. Let them arrest you, you can sue for excessive force later on as long as you're still breathing!

Timmi:
To be frank with you, your father nor you should not be involved in this family matter. The issue (it’s not a problem) is between your uncle and his wife. Hence you and your father should buzz off and hands off their matter. Don’t scatter this family.

Tomorrow now when we hear the man died of HBP or heart attack, we would start asking why he didn't seek help. Perhaps when we hear that he suddenly turned into a beast and started beating his wife, we would blame him for not finding an alternative. The man has done the right thing by seeking help, if the wife still values the marriage she would adjust and if not, it is better to scatter everything than to continue a marriage of misery!

Daniluv1:
You must be crazy

Wait let them kidnap your close family member and then we will go on our knees and pray without doing the needful

You think say everything na prayer sometimes we gats use our brains

You dey mind the madman, werey would be the first to shout, e sanwo, please pay them

LordIsaac:
Buhari controls ALL institutions of state, including the INEC chairman. Buhari "won" elections, in spite of the woes, in 2019. Therefore, as the poster above opined, whomever is picked by Buhari will be our next president. You can take that to the bank.

You honestly believe Buhari would have won in 2019 without the support of Tinubu, the governors and the hatred for PDP that still remained even after 2015? Next year election will be a different ball game, people are ready to vote overwhelmingly for PDP if APC puts forward a lightweight, when you now add a Tinubu looking for revenge if he gets rejected, OMO, we might see the biggest landslide victory in years.

toujurs:
You should be the one to stop, the false accusation, 2019 Nigerians massively voted for atiku, without much stress of campaign from pdp, but we all know the election results were manipulated, south east, south west and south south massively voted for atiku, atiku was given pdp presidency ticket without stress, the bribery for this 2023 is too deep and desperate, 50,000 dollars. Just like that. Just for you to vote for me. This is too deep. Peter obi is not the type of person that shares or gives out money recklessly, his an economist. Economist are know as miser as the lay man call them.

Why are you sidestepping the question? What changed? Did Atiku suddenly become a thief in 2022 or was he a known thief in 2019 and your Obi chose to align with him regardless? You are the one that said Obi does not associate with thieves, I'm just asking for clarification, oya shalaye, explain yourself

TenQ:
There are some factors against Tinubu and probably in favour of Oshinbajo
1. Most educated westerners see Tinubu as TOO old
2. Most educated westerners see Tinubu as corrupt
3. Most educated westerners see Tinubu as not supporting them in the EndSARS protest
4. Most educated westerners Hate APC for bringing in FAILURE into Nigerian economy and unity

1. Most educated westerners will vote for Oshinbajo rather than Tinubu because his brief take as Acting President exude some hope.
2. Westerners who hate to have another Fulani rule the country from PDP will either choose Oshinbajo or vote another party


Within APC is another matter entirely. If a consensus candidate is forced on APC, Tinubu will use his last energy to bring APC down.


Either way, Westerners will vote anyone between Oshinbajo and Tinubu except for the factors above.

The problem with the analysis is that the majority of Nigerian voters are either uneductaed or under educated. Juyst like most of us arguing on social media don't actually vote. Most of us cannot stand in line in hot sun or face touts or election day wahala. The real voters will 99% of the time vote based on who has the msot machinery/grassroot game. If Tinubu decides to play spoiler, OMO I fear Atiku will win in a landslide.

toujurs:
Why do you think he left pdp, atiku wanted him to bring constant funds for bribery, which isn't in his principles, we all know atiku is a bigger thieve, i just don't know why Nigerians are happy he won pdp primaries. This is madness

Guy stop it, he left because he saw the writing on the wall. He knew he had no chance, your point makes no damn sense, he aligned himself with Atiku in 2019, WHAT CHANGED? So 2019 he had admiration for thieves but in 2022, he found God and repented?

Gozac:
Forget matter, how many votes did he give PMB in 2015 and 2019 in Lagos state. Remember PMB have been getting 10m votes since 2003. PMB holds the ace in 2023 not Tinubu will

Do not let your hatred of Tinubu deceive you, Buhari would not have won in 2015 or 2019 without Tinubu. You claim Buhari has been getting 10 million votes since 2003 yet he did not smell the presidency until he aligned himself with the Jagaban, in fact the 2011 elections he only scored 10% of the votes in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Ondo. Keep deceiving una sef, stats don't lie!

TenQ:
Go and check the demographics of votes. The north alone cannot guarantee who becomes the president. They need the support of the East or West. Also, PDP controlled virtually all the Northern states at that time. GEJ took over from Ya'radua from the North. It would have been difficult for a northerner to succeed Ya'radua

Yes this is true but there's no way you're making anyone believe that a Yemi Osibanjo would gather more votes in the SW than a Tinubu. Religion or no religion, Osibanjo will be a liability in the SW unless he finds a way to pacify Tinubu and his machinery.

toujurs:
What is this one saying, and who told you tinubu has weight to throw, continue fooling yourself. Peter obi doesn't need his audio weight, he doesn't associate with thieves

Hahahaha......Emotional jargon, you want reality or you want to continue living in fantasy? Obi without allies is NOTHING! He does not associate with thieves yet he wants to be president? COMEDY!

Gozac:
But a Tinubu defeat PMB, PGF and APC stakeholders in a duel
Nobody is above his people or community.
If they don't want him, there's no way he can force his way to the ticket

There's no need to force, majority of them know that he can play spoiler. If Tinubu throws his weight behind Atiku or Obi, APC is finished!

As expected! Stepping down all in the name of consensus shows the candidates never truly wanted to be president inthe first place. It was all a political stunt to share more dollars. Tinubu has APC by the balls, a twisted thorn that cannot be easily removed by hand without endangering one's hand.

TenQ:
Muslims in the North will pick Atiku ten times any Yoruba Muslim.

Tinubu has no advantage with respect to Atiku on religious ground.

Yet they overwhelmingly picked GEJ over Buhari and Ribadu in 2011, una go just dey post nonsense.

eldoradoxx:
Not really so. Yemi Osinbanjo is surprisingly loved by the entire South over and above his former boss Tinubu and Rotimi Amechi ( regarded as a sell out). What the South needs is someone that can defeat Atiku in the entire south. The East and South South where PDP has its strongest base are not happy with how he bribed his way to get the ticket and are ready to vote APC in the next election (after all their arch enemy- Buhari is not running again). However these people would however prefer Atiku over Tinubu for obvious reasons; there is an unsettled enmity with Tinubu and Rotimi Amechi over their role in 2015 election, they cant just forgive these two men.
Osinbanjo however does not have the baggage of two men. He will also make serious in-road in Middle Belt- North Central where most non Hausa Fulani Northern minorities reside. This means that Osinbanjo can get West (his region), East, South South and North Central. If he takes someone like Zulum from the North East then he can slug it out with Atiku. So I give it to Osinbanjo

You've been left behind, your analysis get k leg. Sha don't get hypertension when Osibanjo loses the primary

Some people will not like this but he's got a right to his opinion, I share the same belief, if the option is between a Southerner and a Northerner then by all means judging by the events of the past 7 years, my vote will always be a Southerner.....Sorry but not sorry, most una fit do is to ensure Tinubu does not win the primary because if he does, CITY BOY gon EAT

Reduce wetin, una go refund the 100 million?

Another example of why men must insist on DNA test, even if the child looks like you just insist, e get why! Any woman that can make a statement about paternity during a fight or argument definitely is hinting at some form of truth. Gone are the days of trust, welcome to the age of trust but verify!

eldoradoxx:
Improve your vocabulary by adding newer words, those who were critical of Buhari were called worse names. Good beyond the cliché of hate and perdition, we are tired of them. Today those who spoke the truth about Buhari have been proved right by all standards of assessment of a failed regime. Keep shielding Bola from public scrutiny because he is your brother and has stolen funds meant for your future to play politics with.

But you haven't spoken any truth, you're gossiping! Someone made an accusation that has been struck down by the Supreme Court in the past and you blatantly accept it as fact. You can see why it was easy for the other guy to insult you, do better at least do the reasearch on your own before falling for propaganda, don't be like Buhari supporters

There it is, I was wondering when the usual miscreants and their certificate scandal would show up. Una no dey tire? CAMPAIGN ON MERITS, SCANDALS NO DEY WORK AGAIN

She spoke her truth but she's misguided. Firstly, her problem is not America but the failings of her parents. They failed to educate her on the challenges she would face moving to an unknown land with no support. They failed to prepare adequately by having at least one year's worth of finances to take care of housing, feeding etc. Finally, they failed to research properly as Chicago is one of the deadliest places you can live in the USA, it is not cheap, it is not safe so why move there?

The write up also makes no sense as the title alleges racism but the write up merely mentions it. She's a victim of stupidity and unfortunately the American dream does not protect one from stupidity. American dream still remains a dream, it is up to you to make it a reality. Nobody said there won't be challenges or obstacles but how you deal with them is what determines if you live the dream or you experience the nightmare!

We have two major parties in Nigeria, APC and PDP yet only one party is being singled out, what happened? If Igbo people truly wanted to be president then surely the party most responsive to them should have put forth a candidate from the SE.

Let me get this straight, you all wanted a SE president so bad that your comrades watched silently as the party of Igbo people(PDP) chose a Northerner and would rather blame the party(APC) that you only gave 5% to? IS THIS NOT MADNESS? Y'all want to hear the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Truth is very very bitter....Awon werey, no vex, manage president of Alaba for now

Customer dada......Welcome back Atiku, how many billions your people go chop this time before failing again?

ISKABA ISKEBE ISKOROBOTO......E DON HAPPEN.....Nairalander go kill you before HIV does, werey go hospital

Werey, you wan learn work from yahoo boy and you believe say na so e easy? Oga better prepare for many many insults, what has your age given you financially? Better humble yourself and call your cousin, in fact every day just dey praise am, dey whine am. He is your Davido, my guy FOCUS! The mad people of Nairaland no fit help your condition, if you know say your cousin will surely show you the way, why you dey form king kong? Lower your shoulder bro, AGE IS NOTHING IN THE EYES OF HUNGER

Funkyswagzz:
You guys are just ridiculous.. in this country when someone is bad there no way he can change. Like wise sahara reporters.. see let me tell u if this news is true then you should stop stirring things up and do a proper research before you unleash ur biased mind.

People like you are one of the major problems in this country and its worrisome cos we have too many of you. Honestly i dont know why you guys are so twisted

And if the news is false? Will you also agree that you are one of the problems in this country?

GoodFaith:
If you are not a contractor, $165K US dollar is a great pay
If you live in the South better than making than money in New York Maryland (beltway ) or California

It depends on vision, it is a great pay but would never allow me to retire before 50 as a multi-millionaire, trust me I never ever want to suffer again in this life .

UpInTheSky:
I've a friend who does this and he makes about $6700/month. I've just looked up some ads on Indeed rn to get more idea on the pay and saw one that states the salary as "$5,500 - $8,000 a month". The salary may differ across the border but I know they make good money on this side and with all the vacant lands here new buildings are constantly being built.

When we look at salary we must look at averages and job title. Most people don't know the difference between high rise cleaners and rope access technicians. Most people don't know the difference between rope access cleaners and technicians who work on more complex jobs like fiber or oil rig installations. Here's a link to the cleaner salary:

GoodFaith:
Are you a contractor?

No

GoodFaith:

I live in the USA wetin concern me with Canada

Contekbbc:
Each man for himself
Speak for yourself guy.

Try as hard as you may, the fact that you're a Nigerian already makes you guilty by association. You can have a stellar personality and integrity but if your friends, family and neighbors are shitty people, your reputation takes a hit as well. Don't take it personally my guy, fate is cruel

t2luv1:
No he's not lying average high school warehouse picker with no freaking experience makes $20/Hour. That man job is a union job trust me he makes easily $40-$50 per hour. I design/write web based business applications and I have been working from my house for over 2 years now. I work for myself and I have 5 fortune hundred companies as clients. My monthly billable invoice is way north of $15K. Not bad for a guy that attended Ebenezer Primary School Oke-Ado Ibadan won't you say

I'm not here to argue, you can check ziprecruiter or salary info online, high rise cleaners don't make more than $40,000 yearly on average, we have many Africans doing that job here in Atlanta. He's talking about a specific job that is on a paycheck, your other point is talking about freelancing/entrepreneurship, that's a different ballgame. My salary has an I.T audit manager is about $165,000 yearly after taxes but what I make from my ecommerce business in a year is twice that amount after taxes and business expenses.
