is this a decalration for real, or is oga just making a statement for lack of anything else to do? 

this is at best laughable

lmao!!!
na today we don dey hear all these dodgy predictions?

this has got to be a joke. i would take it more seriously if they infact said it was strictly a jailable offence. who would pay 250k when lastma and co will be more than ready to accept a 10k bribe. like others have said, the govt is only trying to line the pockets of their cronies.

Big B1:
We were all witnesses to the fact that all Obasanjo enemies were labeled corrupt

Was anyone of them innocent?

hmmmm is this some sort of joke? the police aig actually made this statement publicly?! seeing as he refused to prosecute them at the time, what has been done about it now that it is out in the open? does everyone in a place of authority share his sentiments? ha naija no go kill person sha

FemiATL:

A custom or Immigration guy had summoned the courage to ask me for forex-------just one time on my way out of Lagos and I tell you if the guy sees me again, he will not even try to look at me in the face.
He held on my GC and Passport and told me "give me something now". I told him i did not have anything casually and he said (Pointing to my bulging pocket-----almost touching it) "wetin dey there?".

Oh my God, I went ballistic--------shouting like a really crazy guy. NA YOU PUT AM THERE, NA YOU WORK FOR THE MONEY-----I said a lot of stuff that i cannot remember. The guy just gave me my docs really fast saying "Oga I beg dey go joo". Some of his colleagues just looked away like nothing happened.

I think the way you dress or the way you answer them will determine if they can approach you for bribe or not. Also if they think you are a younger person-----i.e than the person screening you, they will want to intimidate you.

There was once a custom guy asked me where I was living in the US and I answered him with so much disdain "If I tell you, will you know it?" He said Oga answer my question or I will delay you--------I laughed and I told him 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC. He said oh, I have a friend that lives in Washington DC. The people who new what I was saying just started laughing.

My advice to all travellers, is that always be composed------answer questions with short and precise answers and do not engage in small talk with this people-------thats just me.

spot on! i adopt a similar attitude when travelling and i have never had a problem. the onus is on us individuals to stamp out this corruption that has just about taken over.
even at the local airport, i DO NOT for any reason patronise touts. i only allow them carry my bags for a fee if i have heavy/plenty luggage.

igbonla:

Have you given up? Will corruption stop if you continue to give N50? Do you want to join them if you can't beat them? Is your friend's colleague sleeping with her boss now since the gov said it's the order of the day? Is that her choice between resigning and sleeping to keep her job?

It is the choice we all make that will determine if the corruption will slow down or keep ravaging us. Will you join us by not offering bribe? Are you ready to suffer some discomfort to help fight this battle?

Unfortunately, this is not the fight for God; He has given us the grace. Let's go use it.

We can reduce corruption if we make the right choices.

God bless Nigeria.

my sentiments exactly! i would rather have parked outside or elsewhere than offer the 'dash'

Kobojunkie:

according to the article,BOUGHT a child from Nigeria to use in the UK for benefits.[/size] She did not adopt the child or even take the child from a relative to the UK. [size=13pt]She BOUGHT the child and then illegally smuggled it into the UK. [/size]

the same article i read? as far as i read, the authorities are only assuming

any news on happenings at the airport yesterday?

i guess we can only hope for the best and watch as it unfolds

4 Play:

Chai!Nigerians sef.If this woman won some award,we will be quick to claim she is Nigerian.

the irony is that if she did win an award, BBC will report it as being a swedish woman

@sheniqua
she has dual nationality nigerian and swedish. y would u rather call her nigerian?

i'm indifferent. i thinks its normal

obviously been overtaken by events

na wa 4 my country nigeria!
so a senator has abandoned his duties and prefers to keep vigil at the bedside of a useless old bully man. how do we justify the actions of the gov and senator? na wa o which way nigeria

it has not

however th job gets done, it works for me (wether fashola, lg councils or pastors). indiscipline should not be tolerated

fashola is the man. can he move to benin to help after he finishes his term?

winnteam:


Will the Pastors and Imams stand by the road with whips to make sure the members park well?

if thats what it will take to keep them in check then YES! afterall worshippers are known to hang on their leaders every word. they should at least mention it in their sermon. or surely they can hire traffic controllers. no excuses at all.

hmmm i am sooooooooooo bored by all this.
i am more interested in the outcome of those already started specifically unlucky igbinedion and his bro james.
in the meantime, the govt of nigeria may want to consider sorting out the non existent POWER!

tell me about it my sister. he has parties and its flooded with thousands of NIGERIANS! we never hala!!!

leave them now, e go reach their turn

lol

hmmm, watching from the sidelines. NO COMMENT

shock? lol. save ur shock dear, lots more to be revealed

Kobojunkie:

No, I do not. Considering that no where in this thread is there a claim that he actually claimed racism but it is implied over and over in the comments made by majority on this issue. With the colonial and the references to the man being black and BA somehow being White overLord. Why did you not instead direct your question to those who continue to claim it is racial and so agree with Omotade??

angel101:

seeing as this thread is based on the letter written by mr omotade and throughout the thread u have suggested (somewhat condescendingly) that the matter should not be treated as a racist issue but rather as a customer service one. do u now see the reason for my question?

y dont u read the thread

I dont see any wet people in the pics. the bus looks like any other to me. the poster said the windscreen was broken but i dont see a windscreen in the pics.

come in at what point kobojunkie?i have been on the thread as long as u have not to mention the fact that i have been on another thread discussing this same issue. in any case, how does the point at which i came in even affect the question asked? if u have no answer to the question its ok to say so.

lol!! oga doc needs to enlighten us o!

hollandis:

According to PM News ,the guy was in the hotel opposite University f benin, having sex romps with an undergraduate student "i am sure she is a benin girl".The guy was screaming for water and the girl ,now under investigation" started pouring cold water to revive him
hmmmmm.I hope Osunbor has heard now? He should speedily vacate the seat.[b]It was alleged that he(the commisioner) was killed through controversial circumstances.[/b]Now the truth is known
GBAM!

is it magun or controversial circumstances?

fyi magun is not a benin thing
