NairaOcean: In a beautiful moment filled with pride and accomplishment, a female member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) presented her first monthly allowance, known as "alawee," to her parents. The event took place in their home, where the young Corp member, expressed her gratitude for the unwavering support of her parents throughout her educational journey and now, during her national service.
With beaming smiles and eyes gleaming with pride, the parents watched as their daughter handed over the envelope containing her first alawee.
Travel around the country and see things for yourself.
90% of Nigerians don't even have up to #500,000 in their bank account.
Hmmmm..... You might be right but by the way, do you know that not having money in your bank account doesn't necessarily make you unsuccessful? Most investors don't have cash but assets. Back to our subject, most married people work harder than single people. Most businesses are own by married people and most top position are majorly occupied by married people, most Politicians(big cats) are married. So we might have to give a second view to your stand.
PrayWills: Our court wedding was supposed to be on Friday. I caught her telling a married man I love you and calling each other all sweet names. I confronted her and she said she was telling of proving to me she was faithful that I should draw whatever conclusions I wanted to.
I went to work on Monday and came back and told her I wanted to pause the weeding until we could sort our issues and she said we should call it off totally.
As we speak she has moved back to her mom’s house with the two kids, what do I do?
PS: she was raised by a single mom
Honestly, you need to find a way to move on. It is unfortunate and hard to do. Telling a man I love u ain't as bad as her moving out of your home without even throwing her out. It means a lot if you want peace in the future.
I love and enjoy my current state of bachelorhood and honestly I do not have the desire to get married now or in future because personally I have come to the realisation that men are living in a world today where there are too many impossible expectations to meet.
Recently, I have been noticing subtle hints of envy from my colleagues at work who are married just from the statements they make.
For example, they usually try to belittle me with statements like You're still a small boy, you don put woman for house? whenever we are having non heated argument over a topic that doesn't even concern marriage in anyway.
When it is their turn to work for some few hours on weekends they make statements like Men like us no suppose they do duty, na una (single men) suppose do am as if I don't have other affairs to attend to during the weekend.
So married men in the House, Do you people envy single men?
Yes, unsuccessful married men do. Cos I don't know what to envy in singleness if you have money.
emkz: Rufai claims there were 57 active businesses that were impacted. Since he is now the mouthpiece of those businesses, can he list them?
As far as September 2023, talks began with HiTech on the project, where was Rufai Oseni? Why didn't he raise the alarm then, WHY NOW?
While raising the question about Landmark properties and alignment, Rufai Oseni refused to admit whether Landmark violated the right of way. He also did not state whether Landmark illegally utilized the asset in question. He also did not address the fact that only a marginal portion of Landmark was affected.
When the initial propaganda failed, they shifted to EIA and EISA. The Ministry of Environment already said they issued a waiver. But Rufai Oseni, who requested access to the audited books of someone's private enterprise, is not satisfied.
He also claims the owner of HiTech is Tinubu's personal friend. Does he want us to discuss his boss' personal friends and associates? Did they not give media protection to Emefiele, Okowa, PDP and Atiku? If they didn't, why were they hell bent on humiliating Tinubu with their boss even writing to accuse Tinubu of Noriega moment. If there was no personal or business interest for them, why did they take it so personal?
Then they accused the minister of staying in Eko Hotel and Suites; what has that got to do with anything?
On the surface, Rufai Oseni and Arise News have serious questions; but the questions are not balanced, because they have not asked Landmark questions. They have clearly taken a side and they are fighting for either personal or business interests. Yesterday, it became clear when they interviewed a former Commissioner of Police. The conversation was accusatory and not intermediatory. Answers provided by the government are never acceptable to them, but they believe everything the Landmark CEO says.
Rufai Oseni, you claim to fact check everything. Please fact-check whether Landmark rightfully owned that land and whether he was cleared to build there.
One more point to make: you claim there was no stakeholder engagement before demolition. David Umahi sat down in your studio to say that he met with the CEO of Landmark and that they adjusted their plans to spare his properties. You also asked why properties not previously marked for demolition and outside the right of way were demolished. As a journalist, you ought to be aware that notices of demolition were sent to all affected parties and they complied.
How come only Landmark is complaining?
What is Arise News/Rufai Oseni's personal/business interest here?
PS: When a former editor and a firmer executive director of PUNCH newspapers had a fight over one of them allegedly collecting millions of naira from corrupt politicians and businessmen to give them positive press coverage and kill negative stories, both of them were forced out of the media house. It became clear that some journalists used the media to promote personal and business interests. So if you see any media house seemingly pursuing or protecting someone's business interest, even at the expense of the public good, money is involved.
How come Channels TV, NTA, TVC or AIT are not fighting or protecting any interests? Why certain journalists from certain media houses?
Rufai Oseni asked to see the acvohnt statements of someone's private business. Can Rufai Oseni publish his own accpunt statements so we are convinced he did not receive a PR contract to use his platform to demarket the coastal road project
Are you paid to write this long against someone trying to enlighten the fg and the public in general?
goshee: What about Ganduje who was caught on camera stealing? When is EFCC going for him sir?
It is wrong to condemn justice because justice was not served to another person. Better thing to do rather than condemn is asked for justice for Kano too.
EreluRoz: I have been saying this thing that Femi Gbajabiamila and Faleke are behind the witchunting going on in our party, Faleke is using Gbajabiamila and their efcc puppet chairman to hunt people they dislike. What power did Gbajabiamila and Faleke have to be witchunting people who made sure asiwaju becomes president? Who is Gbajabiamila and Faleke in the scheme of things? I hope asiwaju will stop all these rubbish before this Gbajabiamila and Faleke destroy our party. They were just privileged to be close to asiwaju but they have no weight, they are paper weight politicians. According to what I heard by some important people, hmmm I hope asiwaju is still interested in second term kos he's killing it already. Elrufai is deadly and has a strong grip in the north. May Gbajabiamila and Faleke not destroy our party. Nonsense
Also I'm not feeling Remi Tinubu's impact as the first lady, as a woman you should watch over your husband's success and fiercely move against anyone that may try to bring him down with their reckless attitude. I trust patience Jonathan on this. Remi is weak. The two most outstanding first ladies Nigeria ever had are late Maryam Babangida and Patience Jonathan. Kudos to them
Don't dare argue with me, I eavesdrop in a lot of conversations by people that matters in the political scheme
There is nothing like witch-hunting a criminal. Is like saying seeking for justice against your enemy that committed a crime is equal to witch-hunting. If my enemy doesn't want to be witch-hunted, he shouldn't commit crimes make enemy no catch us. I am from Kogi (minority, same as Bello), Bello is guilty and we have waited this long for justice. We don't care what is between him n anybody. What we want is Justice n that we pray we get so stop being emotional or political about it please. You would hardly see kogite coming here to defend, only people that knows nothing the state went through that comes here to defend him using weak points.
Questions have arisen regarding the qualifications of Ola Olukoyede to hold the position of Chairman at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). According to the stipulated requirements in the establishment of the EFCC, the Chairman must be a serving or retired member of any government security or law enforcement agency not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivalent, and possess not less than 15 years cognate experience.
Investigations have revealed that Olukoyede, born on October 14, 1969, did not meet these prerequisites before his appointment. Despite this, he assumed the role of Executive Chairman of the EFCC, appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on October 12, 2023.
Before his tenure as EFCC Chairman, Olukoyede worked as a lawyer at a firm owned by former Vice President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo. He also served as the Chief of Staff to the Executive Chairman (2016–2018) and Secretary to the Commission (2018–2023). His nomination as Secretary to the EFCC in 2018 was made by the then-President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
During the announcement of Olukoyede's appointment, it was stated that he possessed 22 years of regulatory compliance consulting, fraud management, and business intelligence experience. However, questions persist regarding whether this experience aligns with the specific requirements outlined for the EFCC Chairman.
The requirements as contained in part 1 section 2 of the establishment reads, ""The Commission shall consist of the following members
(a) a chairman, who shall - (i) be the Chief Executive and Accounting Officer of the Commission. (ii) be a serving or retired member of any government security or law enforcement agency not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivalent; and (iii) Possess not less than 15 years cognate experience."
Given these revelations, concerns have been raised about Olukoyede's suitability for the role, with some arguing that he lacks the necessary experience and competency required for such a critical position in combating economic and financial crimes.
It is now I know that Olukoyede is stepping on toes. Good work Olukoyede.
Amidst the the ongoing EFCC saga and media onslaught against the former governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, a viral letter shows how the former Governor returned surplus funds to the world bank, to the tune of 4.6million US Dollars.
This amongst other reasons earned the former governor accolades allowing other states opportunities to benefit.
Recall the world bank had on numerous occasions awarded Kogi as number one in multiple awards for transparency and fiscal responsibility.
The question now is, if the governor was this transparent with public funds, what then must have resulted in EFCC’s pursuit and media trial, leaving out other governors who have been previously accused? The personal focus and attack on Yahaya Bello may have a political undertone and an agenda yet to he revealed.
Read the letter the World Bank wrote him below;
July 14 2021 His Excellency Mr. Yahaya Adoza Bello Exccutive Governor of Kogi State Office of the Governor Government House Lokoja, Kogi State
Go and sit down my friend. Every time a corrupt politicians is being prosecuted they pay u guys to write rubbish.
Nothing can justify a crime. If u don't want to hunted by politicians, try n be clean too. Stop shouting wolf...wolf... After committing crime.
Why is it that most government office use dormant phone number online. I think is very wrong and should also be counted as unprofessionalism right under the nose of who ever heads that office.
Where were these CSO when he was syphoning state fund? Now they are defending another people's state. They should go to the state and say this in a free bar n see what would happen to them.
As Bwala know the whereabouts of Bello, EFCC should invite him for some questioning and if he refused to attend the invitation honorary, he should be declared wanted.
So many goats would drink pap for this matter
Invite him for what? He already told them how to locate him. Very simple and straight. No b only Bwala them go arrest, infact dem go arrest everybody because we all have great idea where he dey except EFCC has helped him to leave our suspected location because we expect EFCC to have kept close monitoring on the vehicle that whisked him away.
NairaOcean: A woman made headlines after bashing her own car, a Lexus ES350, while attempting to reverse it within their estate. What makes this story even more unusual is the reason she gave for the accident: she blamed her husband for not purchasing a smaller car, citing "space management" as the issue.
The woman, reportedly called her husband immediately after the incident to express her frustration. In a viral video shared by the husband, the woman can be seen sitting in the driver's seat of the dented Lexus, arguing with her husband over the choice of vehicle.
In the footage, the husband can be heard questioning his wife about what happened to the car, visibly surprised by her reasoning. The woman, undeterred, continues to blame her husband for not "getting her a smaller car," which would have allegedly made her navigation easier.
When will women take responsibility for their actions?
Honesy, ododo action is very shameful and a disgrace to the state. It shows who is in charge. Honestly, as it appears now, Ododo has no total say in even his family matter talkless of state he govern.
So, in the course of her pregnancy (a time most woman are unusually very Hot most of the time), what happens to her sexual desires? Left unattended to?
And you wonder why some pregnant woman cheat?
A cleptomani will always be a clepto, no matter the justification. A thief that is not a clepto would only steal as his last resort after seeking many other options.
A Hot pregnant woman that is not a LovePeddler will definitely seek ways with the husband and like I mention earlier, it is the duty of the husband to attend to her.
A LovePeddler will always be a LovePeddler, preg or not.
Kobojunkie: Nigerians are not serious at all! What she simply said is that in all of what has happened to the Naira, the dollar has remained exactly where it was before it all and that the Naira, not the dollar, is the problem. Why are you people so thick-headed in seeing these things? All these temporary fixes— bandages — seem to be costing Nigeria a whole lot while not doing much to resolve what actually started all of this which is the falling value of the Naira.
She is passing a message, the rise of the naira is superficial and not sustainable..
Emotions no dey for economics
See, let me tell you something, you can't use the current price not dropping to judge d economy at all. The stuff might be artificial but when you see a fast dropping currency, always expect a reverse, it is simple in currency trading. What we witnessed last year was largely triggered by dollar hoarding cos everybody wants their money saved in dollar and this pushed against naira. I have a lot to say but I can't type. This her statement is like trying to make people hoard the dollar and cos more havoc for the naira which I totally condemn.
To bring d price down, people need to emulate Allen Oyeama by bringing their prices down. They should sell at prices they buy now and not what it use to be cos they make more protif now.
