Sowore is evil and he's capable of anything.

Point to one evil he did with good evidence. Not hearsay. Even one of his old friends that came on an online radio to accuse him of blackmail, when they asked him to provide proof, he went quiet. It's normal to have enemies for the kind of career Sowore choose. For someone like him, if one of the few accusations are true, certainly he would have been successful sued or convicted. Let anybody who have issue with him go to court. He has won many of such cases. But no kangaroo court.

Reno is bitter because Jonathan lost in 2015. It is very easy to discover his hypocrisy, he refused to blame Atiku and Saraki that spent billions, donated jet and travel across the country to campaign for Buhari in 2015, but stick to a Sowore who never attended any campaign or take up Buhari's campaign ads on Sahara reporters.

See me see trouble o. This fake pastor who stole another person identity. Funniest thing was like, it was the identity of a young US based relative he stole. I saw the mother of the child on video complain bitterly about this criminal-minded Reno.

smh


Accidentally rich people with the mindset of poverty will still become poor because they lack the principles to sustainable wealth that is why the likes of Abiola will become so rich and his family/children will become broke.he was rich,he wasn't sustainably wealthy.so there was no how he could maintain his wealth


Check out people who become unexpectedly rich and aren't givers.they eventually go back to square 1.its an inevitable principle of wealth.

This your hypothesis that those who became rich overnight and aren't givers go broke is baseless. You don't go broke because you are not a giver. Such people go broke because of other reasons, which may include poor sense of judgement, poor financial management skill, lack of sound investment skill and other related factors. We know people who won the lottery or those who achieved stardom overnight but became pauper again because they were dashing there money right, left and center to friends and family members. Some will bring in entire extended family members and old close friends into their house and they all depend on this single individual. That's a fast road back to poverty. I assume your point is based on the fact that most Nigerians have an entitlement mentality. Meaning you expect the rich to just give out their money to old friends or neighbor just on the basis of old-time sake. It's still a wrong mentality.

una don start again with all these then say them say dude never washed car for any 100 before the car wash have always been at the front of his house and the mom was struggling fine enough to make sure everyone was okay abeg make una stop all this them say them say talk

I didn't have to know or read his story before I came to the conclusion that this chap is someone from a very poor background. Nothing wrong in coming from a poor neighborhood. Someone that is from such has options. Either use your experience there as a motivation for success and a fuel for strength of character and postive will-power or you can use it as a motivation for success but a fuel for shady character and pursuit of societal acceptance due to an emptiness in you that question your conscience if you really belong there. Thats why he needed to fill the emptiness with the persona he built online and all the photos and bling-bling. Someone shared a video of him in a luxurious section of Dubai Airport and a private jet. The guy was virtually talking loud to himself. He was already sick in the mind without realizing it.

sikiru na bad luck

How? Won't Sikiru now wish he never knew Ramon hushpuppi; or wish he is just loafing around jejely in Oworonshoki? These boys have no strength of character. There are rich people who made money legally and would never want to associate themselves with people or places of their humble beginnings. It could be fear or shame that's causing that. I think it's shame for someone like Ramon because the larger society would have asked more question how a young boy from that ghetto became a so-called billionaire overnight. Legit people won't get asked such questions because they never hit it big overnight, except if they are football superstars.

sulaak:
It's about power, having sexual intercouse with a well educated powerful woman has a different thrill to it.

That's exactly what I said somewhere. It's a power and domination thing going on. It's not just the sex if you understand the nature of men and women.

frog12:
Covid-19 - N31.4 Billion - no be NCDC disease control, dey control this one, so wetin NDDC dey do with Covid?
Legal services -N900Million - its good to be a lawyer, you can OVERCHARGE a govt agency
Lassa fever - N1.956Billion - so health ministry dey asleep again
Community Relations -N1.3Billion - dis people dey BURN printing ink
Impress - N790.9Million - which one be dis ooo, dem dey dig GUTTERS or wetin?

And this "Oloriburuku" of a people refused to pay tuition and upkeep funds of students they sent abroad. Those students are all stranded now.

Dakad:
Honestly in as much as I like the woman's gut but I believe she should behave more maturely. Some who has occupied that exalted position as MD NDDC should get some decorum while addressing the media. If she can prove the allegations of sexual assault m, then he should be ready to be dragged.

And what about a federal minister saying his subordinate married four husbands. Hypocrisy is your major problem in Nigeria. Akpabio got what he asked for. More so, he is potential rapist.

TheMainone:
God please help this country through these trying times

Prayers alone with no right attitude and right actions are empty words. Just like a cloud of smoke in the air. Nothingness!

You are one of the heartless school owner in Nigeria so giving your staff who sweat to make your Business grow 5k is much after paying her less than 25 percent of revenue from a class.its in difficult time you know sane humans that’s why most private schools in Nigeria don’t last the test of time.only one man want to eat 50 percent profit

You see, that's the problem with Nigeria. Educational sector is not where you allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to come operate. It's not just about profit. You want to raise well balanced kids with well trained and well renumerated teachers. Based on what I know about we Nigerians, most proprietors will rather divert most of the school revenue to their private projects and building mansions than pay their teachers their monthly salaries. It's a culture for many employers in Nigeria to cheat their employees. Its also sad that some employees are also shady and will stab their employers in the back. I am not in the private school sector. Once I employed a lady with some experience and was paying her around N110k and a corper around N45k, also a lady. This was in 2013-2014. The jobs is still related to the educational sector because our clients are from that sector. I even gave the senior one a laptop for work. You won't believe this crook stole my company clients, was using my laptop to do her own private runs. And the sad part was she was even calling "God" after stealing my company data and clients. I am curious to know how far she has gone with such treacherous character. Obviously I overpaid them probably because I believe people should be rewarded for their efforts.

coputa:
This lockdown has further revealed that private school employs more than half of the 500,000 that graduates from tertiary instutions every year.We should not castigate them,but rather we should applaud them and wholly shift the blame on our dirrectionless,currupt and irresponsible government that refused to create job and change our school curricullum to suit the modern day job requirement(skill acquisition).It is a vicious circle and there's nothing one can do about it,some proprietors were once teachers,it's survival of the fittest,build yourself and move ahead,the job market is already saturated.

You made a point. But that’s not a justification to cheat their employees. Its normal to them to employ fresh graduates. Why would you applaud them if they are taking advantage of their employees? Are the students getting free service from the schools? Surely not.

ahmEenu:
bros I collected 7k as monthly salary too. I understand all these.

N7k? What kind of school is that. Thats below minimum wage. Don't you all have a union or membership organization that can fight on your behalf?

uromii:
Every honest proprietor is supposed to have paid it staff their February, March and April salary in full plus even necessary bonus because they collect their fees per term and this money is paid in whole and they normally demand this money (fee drive) from second week of resumption and their dead line for payments is always that first month of resumption and the lockdown started towords ending of March , almost all school's does this.

In other words %96 percent of schools in Nigeria have already collected their pupils school fees before the covid-19 lock down.

To show How wicked black man can be most of the proprietors/proprietress have dubiously refused to give their staff their complete payment for April, May. Most school owners are not always honest to their workers because no regulatory bodies beams their watch light on them.

So if you are a teacher you teach in a private school and you did not receive your April and may salary from your director , just know you have been cheated.

To show How wicked black man can be most of the proprietors/proprietress have dubiously refused to give their staff their complete payment for April, May.

So, because some private schools proprietors refuse to pay their students, every black man and woman are now the most wicked on the face of the earth. Most of you shallow heads just use words without thinking. What level of self condemnation is this. Do you ever thought the private school proprietors may have to extend the school term or session by the number of months the students miss. Will the students be asked to pay for those months again? Assuming that happens, if the schools have used the funds available to clear salaries of teachers during Covid-19 months, where will they get money to pay for the additional months. Let every teachers come together and examine their contracts. That's what should be used as basis for negotiation and demand.

Unserious shallow headed Nigerian youths. Your country is burning and being taken over by some maggots, the most important thing for them is one foreign imported program. By the time you turn to refugee that no other countries will accept, by then your eyes go clear.

Time to pack all the illegals from Niger and Chad in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria and send them back to their country. Do we even have to wait until they send illegal Nigerians back home. God know the number of illegals residing in Nigeria.

EngineerBode:
How did the AK get to the bandits in the first place?

You guys can't see that they are funding bandits. At the end, the will say 10,000 AK recovered. That is 20,000 cows.

They show pics of recovered AK that were not recovered at all. But the cash for 20,000 cows will be actually paid to the bandits.

We should share this country abeg

Problem is that most Nigerians are not "straight thinkers" and like over complicating issues. What did you read in the newstory? Cash or cow?

if na wetin go make dem stop d killing is a welcome sturv.... No be everytime u go dey beat pikin if u want make e sabi book sometimes u av to buy him Biscuits or Sweet so u can get d result u are looking for...

It may sound cold but I will say the northern elites, intellectuals, political class and their middle class (if there is one) deserve what's happening to them but sadly it's the poor masses that suffer the most. We are all "seeing the legs of the corpse they buried improperly years ago". This is the outcome of the Almajiri system and consistently using religion to keep their people in poverty. Another 12 to 14 million set are waiting to grow up to become bandits gang members. If all the north care about is holding onto power without taking care if its population, then let them continue. They will eventually implode from inside. My only fear is they may drag other regions of the country into their mess. The country need to restructure fast into regional units. If the north refuse this option, they will still collapse because all their social fabrics and traditional institutions have nearly collapse. The bandits are not even scared of their Sharia-based justice system.

donstan18:
Having known that the use of romantic and lovely names is one of the common things in marriages, but I still do not think it's a yardstick to measure the respect and love your partner got for you, because some people prefer maintaining a high level of simplicity and straightforwardness in what they do.

So I would wanna know, how proper is it to address your partner by his or her real name in public places before people?


Let's see what people got to say

Is he or she your elder sister or brother, mother or father, uncle or aunt. Or a sugardaddy or sugarmummy you decided to get marry to. Your spouse is an extension of you. There shouldn't be any barrier to two way communication. In fact, the term you use to call your husband or wife may not mean you respect her/him. You may just be playing to the gallery.

tesppidd:
Just as everyone focussed on Wike and Buniez at the scene of the incident,
My eyes were focussed elsewhere.
The compound!

That compound looked like an Estate or a 5 start hotel.
Interlocked with several buildings within.

And it's supposed to be her private residence.

I bet one thing! A lot of money has been stolen, and both Joy and Akpabio have chopped money.

Joy however has smartly succeeded in whipping up sentiments to her favour.

They all deserved to be investigated. But we need to know what job madam was doing before she joined NDDC. Moreso, who are the four husbands? And they were well to do professional or just public officials.

Igwe355:
But madam Joy stated that the CP said he wasn't aware of their coming.

So who do we believe now?



See my signature

Even Wike said the same. The police authorities were all lieing. Never trust a policeman, even your or brother or friend who decided to become one.

EngineerBode:
Akpabio is so determined to finish himself. If the guy retired from politics after his time as Akwa Ibom governor, he would have money to last 5 generations. What is the guy looking for up and down

Greed! Umm, greed does not have timeline o. It got to show colour any time an opportunity present itself.

omenka:
Crooks probing crooks.

I hope she tells them where she got the money to build that castle where from Wike saved her soul.

2023 should be here already.

Wasn't she married to four different men? Were these men paupers? It's worth investigating though.

jlinkd78:
1:58pm her testifying still on but punch has rushed to post. Our professional journalists in quest to be d first to break news often fall hands. How come u have published a developing news when it's now dat d fearless woman is raping Akpabio. 2.01 pm , she just finished what has turned out to be an expository session that will land Akpabio in prison if truly d FG is fighting corruption. Pls d embattled personality now is Akpabio no more this woman

But nothing stop the newspaper from publishing news on an ongoing event. When did that become unprofessional?

lekki1444:
so its not wode maya ayaaa mayaaaa ?

Wode Maya has just about 445k subscribers and does not have views up to 1 million for a single video. Make sense because their viewers are different Mark Angle is purely entertainment that cut across different types of viewers that include Africans and non-Africans other than black. While Maya audience are mainly diaspora Africans and native Africans that are interested in African renaissance.

GodPunishBiafra:
Dem try
I'm not a fan though.
I don't really like to their stuff...

Because they are too real and don't the fake lifestyle that most Nigerians desire. They are very original and present whats valid for most Nigeria.

isthatso:
Go and read your history and stop coming here spewing nonsense. Kano was already an industrial, trade and religious hub before the arrival of the portugese. there are many old school yoruba industrialist who started out in Kano an example being late Mrs Tejuoso. The great wall of kano was constructed 500 years before the Europeans even knew what was Lagos. It is actually the trade the brough islam to Kano and Northern Africa preceedes the arrival of the Europeans.


Common sense should have dictated to you that places that were accesible by land via camels and horses and donkeys are likely to have had greater traffic and hence trade flow than places only accesible by large ships. Kano was a centre of trade between north Africa, east Africa and Arabia. this is on record and well documented if only you stop being a Nigerian and actually read before talking. Islam arrived in Northern Nigeria at least 1 century before christianity, this would tell you if your brain was functioning correctly that foreigners from Arabia were in Nigeria before the Europeans, what were they doing there if not trade? It is also on record that the richest man that ever lived was Mansa Musa a man from Mali. Mali is next to kano, so that tells you kano has been in trade for a looong time, while we were still catching fish in Lagos.

I am not from Kano or a northerner, i an yoruba and a christian because I know with you people you will bring tribe or religion into the matter. I am just stating facts. I am also old enough to know how kano was in the 80s before the decline.


I advice you to read more!!! You are the kind of person who doesnt know that Africans had the kind of technology that shocked even the Europeans. You are the klind of person who doesnt know that the North was a very sophisticated knowledge based system before the Europeans arrived. You are the kind of person who doesnt know Africans had metallurgy that was ahead of the Europeans etc etc.

https://www.britannica.com/place/Kano-Nigeria

"The city’s capture by the British in 1903 and the opening of the railway from Lagos (715 miles southeast) in 1912 changed the direction of trade south to the Gulf of Guinea."

https://books.openedition.org/ifra/894?lang=en

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansa_Musa

You made a great point. It's right to believe that cities like Kano that are closer to or are along the route of trans-sahara trade were thriving with well to do inhabitants far more than southern parts of present-day Nigeria who were mostly not accessible because of the dense forest, and had to wait until coming of the Europeans via the ocean, which sadly brought slavery. Of course Arabs did that too up north. But my point here is that many northern cities were far more economically buoyant and had more enlightened people than Southern parts of today's Nigeria. They were closer to Timbuktu, the city of knowledge where many used to go in the past to get educated.

Abohboy:
This is how Nigeria will become developed. By refining raw materials and exporting them. Rather than exporting raw cotton and buying back a product made from it at five times the original value.

Hopefully it's a Nigerian or African that own that factory and not some Lebanese or Chinese. Because if it's so, all that dollar is heading out to middle-east or Asia.

More reason for Trump to be more scared that colored people will be taking over the USA some days in the future. And it will even be more scary for him if he learn that the boy want to become the CIA director. "How could kids of parents from "shithole" countries can be this smart? "Trump would have thought.

Really sad.. People need a lot of education.. They would have been swarmed with high dose of carbon monoxide, which is a product of incomplete combustion. The charcoal was inside the room, an enclosed space. We know combustion of charcoal require oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2,) which is also poisonous if present in high doses, and can result in coma or death at 10% concentration. Once most of the O2 is consumed, this result in higher CO as product of incomplete combustion. It is likely they already dead or in coma as a result of CO2, or by both CO and CO2.

tammie24:
Why was he even talking about her being married to 4 husbands
That's personal to her

That suggest that Akpabio main concern was her personal life, including the yam in between her legs he wanted to eat but got a dirty slap in return. Imagine, a minister bringing up issue about his subordinate personal life in the course of work related investigation.

DelphiOracle:
he has said it that nothing like that happened. U want him to be dramatic like her. U know women know how to tell stories I am not saying she is lying o but we need to b careful here cos non of us where there.

This goes beyond the allegation of sexual harassment. The woman claimed she gave him a dirty slap to stop him. A minister that is organizing meetings in hotel rooms and guest house. What was he up to?

Liar! Didn't she slapped you Mr Minister? Is that not why you said she is too temperamental? Because of the dirty slap she gave you. Have they close the courts in Nigeria? Why not sue her for defamation? You dey fear the skeletons in your cupboard.
