Crocky23:Bump. That's a very radical song... Away from the norm. |
helinues:This is very TRUE. In several podcasts and interviews, Taiwo Oyedele, the brilliant head of the Presidential Tax Reforms CLEARLY stated this same fact that if you are earning less than N100,000 monthly, you will NOT be taxed based on PAYE. Taiwo Oyedele said this means that about 90% of Nigerians will NOT pay PAYE. ALSO VAT has been totally removed on medication, some food items, VAT removed on baking items for bread making and he said the price of bread will start dropping from January 1, 2026. There is NO tax increase and multiple TAXES have been cut off! Price monitoring MUST ALSO be introduced BECAUSE some Nigerians are notorious for NOT bringing down the cost of food items and commodities but will quickly increase the price of food items when any little increase in petrol is made. Yet, we have seen highly IRRESPONSIBLE people working for those opposition parties such as some Obi supporters in Nigeria spreading massive disinformation online and offline claiming that tax has been increased which is FALSE. The Federal and State governments in Nigeria too are very responsible for allowing disinformation and fake news instead of launching punitive actions against the spread of FAKE news being spread deliberately due to hatred. To me, this is the BEST ever tax policy ever implemented in Nigerian history. Some people are trying to sabotage the current Nigerian government yet the man who is the current President of Nigeria likes to annoying play the role of a Mr. Nice guy! These FAKE news can destroy his Goverment if NOT checkmated urgently by punishing those spreading the fake stories under the recently signed 2025 Cyber Crimes Act. I don't know what his so-called supporters who are online and offline are doing... They are NOT telling him to take action about these highly IRRESPONSIBLE fake news circulating online. |
OmoOshodi:You don't expect them to attack and kidnap anybody in Ilorin which is located in an URBAN area. The areas they attacked to kidnap this Oba and his son is in a forested RURAL area of this same Ifelodun LGA of Kwara State. This latest kidnapping was carried out by kidnappers (with someone among them who spoke fluent English) took place in the forested RURAL part of Ifelodun LGA of Kwara State which is a very large area. So, it's NOT surprising that the kidnappings have been going on there. A return to the traditional ways of protection (using ayeta and okigbe or whatever is needed by the Obas and others). Many like this Oba were born into Xtianity and/or Islam hence they have lost touch with their ORIGINAL traditions for protection. A genuine Yoruba Ifa Priest (Babalawo) would have immediately immobiled these bandits through potent incantations. Within the last 10 years, Punch newspaper did interviews with several Ifa Priests such as Chief Elebuibon and it was revealed that even Police men come to Ifa Priests for protection using ayeta. The Police men who use ayeta were even interviewed. That was when I started believing that ayeta and okigbe are very potent. Furthermore, an OPC member in Okota, Lagos right in the presence of the late Dr. Frederick Fasehun, several Police men and Lagos State Government officials led by the now Senator representing Ekiti State, Opeyemi Bamidele [who was the Lagos Commissioner of Youth and Sports under the former Governor 'Bola Tinubu] used highly effecting Ifa incantations and metaphysical powers to immobilize the "useless jazz" one Ibo woman called "Gift John" (who was operating an illegal baby factory in Okota in 2005) used to disappear inside her bedroom and NOBODY saw her initially except the Odua Peoples Congress member who detected her vibrational presence in her bedroom where she was hiding. When the OPC member recited powerful Ifa incantations, that woman suddenly appeared nak*d in front of everyone (including the woman's daughter who had told a LIE to Opeyemi Bamidele and the Police investigators that her mother wasn't in the house and had gone out). The then Lagos State Commissioner of Youths, Opeyemi Bamidele told Punch newspaper in a full interview which I read back in 2005 that as an Xtian he didn't believe that such powers existed before until that very moment. 2005 was the year I started believing that Yorubas have very powerful and potent spiritual and metaphysical powers. That woman was using jazz (odeshi) she got from her dibia place in the East, she was into human rituals and the illegal baby factory thing with girls brought from the South East to give birth in Lagos. The Lagos State Government had to shut down that illegal facility in Okota. Incidentally, Festus Keyamo represented that insidious woman as her lawyer and the media ALSO interviewed him. |
ArcSEMPECJ:Comprehension skills are lacking in a lot of you SE posters on this thread who like to gloat over these Kwara and Kogi kidnapping incidents. @Madridguy was talking about the use of legitimately licenced guns NOT those illegally acquired guns that your non-state actors such as ip*b illegally acquired. You MUST be properly licenced to use guns in that country called Nigeria. Period. |
Omooba77:They have been attacking and kidnapping people in the rural parts of Kwara State, Kogi and Niger States that they consider as soft spots. Those areas are very huge areas of land and this is the advantage that those IRRESPONSIBLE foreign bandits are using to move around the vast forest regions that cut across those 3 States of Niger, Kwara and Kogi. The massive purchase of surveillance and attack drones including satellite tracking technologies in addition to the existing drones Nigeria has would be needed to cover that whole region and other contiguous States of Nigeria. |
dfrost:@dfrost That's interesting. What new road are you talking about here which cuts off Oyo-Ogbomosho? I suppose the road is a Federal road and would also help to reduce travel time. |
DomPerignon:I strongly suspect the blast came from improperly stored fireworks which were meant for the celebration of the new year. I don't rule out a terror attack either because I have known for decades now how the United States, and Israelis even stage attacks on themselves to divert attention and create a picture of victimhood with these confessions made by some Jewish folks who are just tired of the chaos and anti-Semitism in the United States and elsewhere. The Arab Muslims terror gangs and non-state actors too aren't left out of these attacks that are meant to draw global sympathy. They all have there hands stained in red blood to varying degrees through out history. Period. |

[quote author= post=137987480]The Aniwo 1 of the Aafin community in the Ile-Ire District of the Ifelodun Local Government Area, Kwara State, Oba Simeon Olaonipekun, and one of his sons, Olaolu, who is currently observing the National Youth Service Corps, have reportedly been kidnapped following a violent attack on the palace. The incident comes less than two months after the abduction of the Ojibara of Bayagan-Ile from his home in the same Ifelodun LGA. PUNCH Metro gathered that the attack on Olaonipekun occurred late on New Year’s Eve when about eight gunmen allegedly stormed the palace around 8 p.m., firing sporadically and demanding to see the monarch and his wife. An insider who was within the palace premises during the attack told PUNCH Metro via telephone on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter that panic ensued as the assailants opened fire. “Around 8 p.m., I noticed some strange movements outside and immediately alerted those inside. We started locking all the doors and switching off the inner lights, but when they realised what we were doing, they began shooting sporadically,” the source said. The source said the gunmen forced their way into the palace by breaking down the door with their guns and demanded to see the Oba. “They were about eight in number; I saw them from where I was hiding. They used their guns to break down the door, gained entrance and asked for Kabiesi, and he came out. “They were also asking for his wife, but she had already been hit in the arm by a bullet during their attempt to gain entrance. “The assailants also seized one of the monarch’s sons who came out from hiding with the Olori (queen),” the source added. “We were about 10 people in the palace at the time, having come to spend the holiday with Kabiesi. Everyone was hiding during the incident. “One of the sons who was with the Olori came out to avoid casualties as they were shooting and breaking down doors,” the source explained. The source added that the leader of the attackers spoke fluent English and appeared to be specifically targeting the monarch and his wife. “The leader of the kidnappers spoke good English. The only people they asked for were Kabiesi and his wife. After they left, we quickly took the Olori to the hospital that same night,” he said. He further disclosed that the town’s vigilante group could not repel the attackers because only two members were on duty at the time. “The vigilantes could not do much because only two of them were on duty, and they could not match the firepower of the assailants. We have not heard anything from the kidnappers since they left with the Oba and his son. We are appealing to the government and security agencies to come to our aid,” he said. The source also revealed that the incident was reported to police divisions in the area on the night of the attack. “When we left Aafin that night, we reported at the Owu-Isin Divisional Police Station. On getting to Ijara-Isin, we also informed the police there. The joint local security network at Ikosin and the Kabiesi of Oke-Aba were equally informed,” he said. When contacted on Thursday, the Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, said the command was aware of the incident but that details were still being collated. “I will get in touch with you immediately once I have detailed information about the incident,” she said. The reported abduction comes amid a disturbing rise in insecurity in Kwara State, particularly in Ifelodun and other rural communities. In late November, bandits abducted the Ojibara of Bayagan-Ile, Alhaji Kamilu Salami, from his farm in the same local government area, sparking fear and condemnation across the state. The monarch was held in captivity for weeks before being released following community-led negotiations and the payment of a substantial ransom. Security analysts say the increasing frequency of kidnappings, attacks on worshippers and assaults on rural leaders points to a growing escalation of banditry and criminal activity in forest-border communities of Kwara State. Recent data indicate scores of abductions and killings linked to armed groups operating along the state’s borders with Niger and Kogi states, as well as internal flashpoints in Ifelodun, Patigi, Edu, Ekiti, Isin and other local government areas.

The United States airstrikes should right NOW be massively targeting the Jihadi group called JNIM affiliated to Al-Qaeda in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic because it's obvious that those 3 innefectual military rulers are incapable of stopping with the so-called Russian assistance the spread of these Islamists mostly of Tuareg ethnic origin. Over HALF of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic are NOW in the hands of JNIM which is the deadliest Jihadi terrorist group operating in the Sahelian region of West Africa (even more deadly than BH and ISWAP which is a faction of BH operating in the Lake Chad Region of Chad, Nigeria, Niger Republic and Northern Cameroon). Majority of those causing security problems for Nigeria in that Lake Chad Region are foreigners (just like the foreign Fula militia bandits are attacking indigenous Nigerian ethnic communities from the North to the Middle Belt to the Southern States of Nigeria) and NOT even Nigerian citizens contrary to the beliefs of a lot of uninformed people who do not know about the situation on the war on the Jihadis on the ground. |

DrMB:The money Tiger Woods paid to Elin Nordegren after their divorce in 2010 worth $710 million was huge and I though at that time that the settlement was too much Just when I thought I had seen it all, Jeff Bezos too got divorced from his former wife in 2019 and then the big whale of them all, Bill Gates paid to his ex at higher amount worth billions of USD |
Great100000:That's an impressive leap in tax harmonization in the history of Nigeria. Taiwo Oyedele in several media interviews and podcasts has already said about 90% of Nigerians who earn BELOW N100,000 monthly will NOT be paying PAYE (Tax on income). A lot of random posters right from Page 1 are totally ill-educated or mischievous about the REAL benefits of taxation which a lot of people haven't been paying for years. Other Europen and North American countries are taking between 40% to over 50% of their citizen's earnings which is huge. But tell a Nigerian to pay tax and he or she start grumbling yet they compare their country with North African and European countries in terms of development |
Originalsly:As of 2022, the Japanese Parliament increased the punitive measures against cyber bullying and online disinformation as result of the death by suicide of a young female Japanese actress. I posted about it in July 2022 on NL and the 2 links are right BELOW. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/14/asia/japan-cyberbullying-law-intl-hnk-scli/index.html https://www.nairaland.com/7214621/japan-makes-online-insults-punishable Over there in Nigeria, a newer and stiffer Cyber Crime Law was signed into law in 2025 at the Federal level in order to mitigate the highly insidious activities of cyber bullies, disinformation and defamation of character. That's all what I was referring to. I get your point about the highly IRRESPONSIBLE way some people allow themselves to get swayed into forgiving trolls and online defamers. People have to learn to test the laws on offline and online defamation in any court jurisdiction in order to send a STRONG message and deterrent to all these hungry wannabe YouTubers and bloggers looking for click baits or generally using it for secessionist propaganda. Just last week, Aliko Dangote threatened to sue a Northern guy for billions of Naira for defaming him on a TV program and almost immediately, the guy apologized on TV BECAUSE he knew full well that what he said was misleading and lowered Aliko in the eyes of the public. That guy's prompt apology was posted on nap.tu2's thread. |
Friends mourn 'massive loss' of Anthony Joshua crash victims https://youtube.com/shorts/bQYjN6SYB6s?si=lttmEmAVHC0gUe7w Sky News • Dec 30 2025 Friends mourn the 'massive loss' of the victims involved in the Nigeria car crash that injured Anthony Joshua. Roberto Abbate told Sky News he'd been through 'every emotion possible with' childhood friend of Sina Ghami. Sky's Sadiya Chowdhury reports. Sina Ghami was of Iranian background, not Arab. He was a British fitness expert and a long-time member of boxer Anthony Joshua's team, serving as his strength and conditioning coach and a close friend. Ghami, along with his friend Abdul Latif Ayodele, tragically died in a car crash in Nigeria in late December 2025 that also involved Anthony Joshua.

Who Were Sina Ghami, Kevin Ayodele? Anthony Joshua Friends Killed in Crash PUBLISHED By Marni Rose McFall News Reporter DEC 30, 2025 AT 04:03 AM EST Sina Ghami and Kevin ‘Latif’ Ayodele, two friends of the British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua, were killed in a car crash in Nigeria on Monday morning. Joshua suffered minor injuries in the crash, which came ten days after his knockout victory over the influencer Jake Paul. The Context The crash occurred along the Lagos-Ibadan highway in Makun, Ogun State, approximately 12 a.m. local time, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Nigeria. The report said the vehicle Joshua's was traveling in collided with a stationary truck. The FRSC wrote on X that "preliminary findings indicate that the Lexus Jeep, which was suspected to be traveling beyond the legally prescribed speed limit on the corridor, lost control during an overtaking maneuver and crashed into a stationary truck well packed by the side of the road." What To Know Ghami and Ayodele both worked with Joshua. Ghami was a strength and conditioning coach, and Ayodele was a personal trainer and fitness model. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. Ghami co-founded Evolve Gym in London. He was a qualified sports and exercise rehabilitator who specialises in musculoskeletal injuries and corrective exercise, according to its website. He had also worked with athletes in the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA) and Michigan State University football team. Ghami’s most recent post was shared from Miami, where the fight between Joshua and Paul took place, and showed him and Joshua smiling next to each other with their fists raised. Ayodele shared a similar photo with Joshua shortly after the fight, with the two flexing their muscles standing in front of a pool. Build a strong brotherhood. Ayodele had been working with the Spot Project, a charity that helps underprivileged children in The Gambia. His work with them was aimed at helping children have better school facilities, quality education, and sports equipment. Ayodele was a practicing Muslim. In an Instagram post from 2020 that was pinned to his profile, he wrote, “Finding Islam in 2012 has been my biggest blessing Alhamdulilah. It allowed me to meet so many good brothers Muslim and none Muslim and Prior to the crash, Joshua shared a video of himself and Ayodele playing table tennis together. Joshua was born in Britain to Nigerian parents and spent some of his early years in Nigeria at a boarding school. He traditionally travels to his family home in Nigeria at this time of year. Joshua was taken to the hospital and said to be in a stable condition. What People Are Saying Eddie Hearn, a sports promoter, in a post on Instagram: “Two great men. Rest in eternal peace Sina and Latz. My thoughts and deepest prayers are with everyone.” Joshua’s boxing promoter, Matchroom Boxing, said in a statement shared by Hearn: “With profound sadness it has been confirmed that two close friends and team members Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele have tragically passed away.” Jake Paul, in a post on X: “RIP Sina Ghami and Kevin “Latif / Latz” Ayodele. My thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends and AJ.” Ring Magazine, a boxing publication, in a post on X: “The Ring team send their condolences to the family and friends of Sina Ghami and Kevin Latif Ayodele who were killed today in the car crash that also injured Anthony Joshua. They were two of Anthony Joshua's close friends and team members, and the boxing community is deeply saddened at this loss.” What Happens Next? Matchroom Boxing said in their statement that they will be making no further comment and asked that people respect the privacy of those affected. https://www.newsweek.com/sina-ghami-kevin-ayodele-anthony-joshua-car-crash-nigeria-11282721 |
InfoGuru118:To be honest, it's time for Nigeria and indeed the ENTIRE world to immediately activate heavy punitive measures such as heavy fines and jail terms of 3 years minimum against all those who create criminal FAKE YouTube video channels and FAKE news sites to engage in massive disinformation for click baiting purposes. A lot of these random commentators are posting fake video commentaries and photoshopped images of a bloodied AJ online. They are irresponsibly posting about what they aren't competent to speak about over this horrendous Lexus SUV crash involving Anthony Joshua and the instant death of his two British-born friends Kevin Latif "Latz" Ayodele and "Oluwasina" Sina Ghami who AJ arrived with from London via the Lagos International Airport on that same December 29, 2025. Sina Ghami was visiting Nigeria for the FIRST time ever as indicated by AJ in their airport arrival video where he refered to Sina Ghami as "Oluwasina" but ALSO refered to him as an Arab guy (Sina Ghami is in reality said to be of Persian/Iranian origin) in that same video. Latif "Latz" Ayodele had visited Nigeria in 2024 with AJ on holidays so Latz WASN'T visiting Nigeria as a British-Nigerian for the FIRST time. Since Sina and Latz are Muslims, I assume they might be buried according to Islamic rites in Lagos/Ogun States or immediately flown to England for Islamic burial. Watching the airport arrival video of these 3 young men from England on the day of the horrendous car crash, I feel so close vibrationally right now to AJ, Latz Ayodele and Sina Ghami who are ALL just 36 years of age. May the families of Abdullatif "Latz" Ayodele and Sina Ghami (whose name shows he's of Persian or Iranian roots) find the fortitude to deal with the sudden passing away of their sons and brothers. Last but NOT least, it's time for all Nigerian cars to have speed limit devices, regular tyre pressure checks, dashboard cameras on board and more ambulances or emergency accident rescue teams on different sections of Nigeria's busiest expressways starting from the Lagos-Ibadan expressway which is the busiest in Nigeria. I'm aware that Lagos State had deployed very modern and highly effective rescue ambulances along parts of that same expressway and WITHIN strategic locations of Lagos State during the periods when the former Governors 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Babatunde Raji-Fashola were in charge of the Lagos State government. Some monuments should ALSO be named after Kevin Abdullatif "Latz" Ayodele and Sina Ghami to immortalise both of them for being part of Anthony Joshua's world boxing team who brought glory at different times to Britain and Nigeria due to AJ's dual British and Nigerian/Yoruba royal family roots. Take charge and stay safe everyone... have a wonderful New Year (2026) to all of you reading this. |

wunmi590:Mtcheew. I can see that a lot of you guys know absolutely NOTHING about the TRUE status of Nigeria's economy before and after the current Nigerian President 'Bola Tinubu came in just 2 years and 7 months ago (May 27 2023). Nigeria was living a VERY BIG LIE and had NO real economy before that subsidy removal... Nigeria was borrowing money from offshore sources to defend the USD/Naira exchange rates and paying huge subsidiaries on imported fuel. With subsidy gone, the TRUE picture of Nigeria's FAKE economy of several decades from the Military rule years began to show leading to a spike in inflation BUT that is falling now. A lot of cheap items have been recorded this December holidays from folks in Lagos and other contiguous States. To those complaining of high cost of chicken and goats, NOTE that big cities are usually more expensive to live in due largely to greed, so, try to explore States outside Lagos, PH, the FCT, etc, to get cheaper food items. Ogun, Oyo, etc, are areas where cheaper foodstuffs exist for Lagos residents to buy cheaply. Even Lagos State has rural agrarian communities where food can be got. A focus on urban agriculture and agribusiness for commercial and personal purposes such as snails, chicken rearing from the pullet stage to adulthood, urban veggies farming in pots, aquaculture, yams in sacks, etc, can also be explored instead of allowing shylocks to cheat you by increasing the costs of items arbitrarily. The exchange rate too has stabilized for months now with the multiple exchange rates that used to exist, and the backlog of FOREX owed to the foreign airlines have been paid to them. There's a lot more that rational minds have seen. Period., |
