They'll subtly sweep even this under the carpet

The more money you embezzled, the less problem you have. Because you will have more than enough hidden in offshore accounts to bribe your way out of any mess later.

That no death sentence is prescribed for corruption means our politicians are just toying with us.

Na wa o. It has tey.

Dan Fodio was no different. He won the wars against Hausa Kingdoms so history was written in his favour.

Had Buhari, Abacha, IBB, and others lost the coup in 1983, they would have been shot like common criminals. Now they pose as patriots.

If you succeed in criminality you can rewrite history.

Oga oo

I was talking to someone yesterday that why is it that the educated elites billionaires always live long?
Mike Adenuga
Chief Mike Ade Ojo
Jim Ovia
Tony Elumele
Eleganza Okoya is nor 80 years old
Danjuma
Obat Petroleum
Jolapamo (Daily need)
Chief Samuel Adedoyin (Doyin cubes)
Pascal Dozie
Alex dudu Yemi
Otunba Sebanjo

Etc
But the uneducated ones do not

MKO, the Yar'Adua brothers, Prince Audu the governor, Funsho Williams, Steve Jobs, and many more died fairly young.

Thing is if you are rich, you will get the best nutrition, health care, better mental health because of less daily struggle for survival, etc. The earlier in life you make it the better.

Chief Gabriel Igbinedion is not very educated but still going strong at over 80. I know many in the village over 80 years old.

Pray not to have death come your way from whatever angle for whatever reason. In many situations nothing can stop death.

And these same students go abroad and come out tops

Our education system is broken totally. If proper admission criteria are used to admit students, such mass failure should be impossible.

I also feel jamb is not suitable for university admission anymore. We need HSC or A level system back. That allows students to mature academically and prepare for independent learning.

Such mass failure is a waste of resource and time.

Students should also be given grants or bursery depending on the family economic background. Financial issues are affecting many students too.
Fuel subsidy is not more important than education subsidy already in place and extra bursary.

Healthcare and education subjects students need even more bursary as they will be key sector staff

klax:
Your last statement got my atrention. I'm so dissappointed the hubby couldnt teach the bloody corper a damaging lesson of his life so next time he will face his service call up and not be sleeping with married woman he is just too lucky I was expecting to see the corper with one hand or one leg by now.

And for the woman sorry I have no pity a bit for her, cheating is not the solution for such problem so enjoy your matchet body and swag the pain ok.

Lol. That's why I wrote unsuspecting corper. The lady lied to the corper that she was a single mother. The corper serves in another city entirely, Lafia. She would travel there on business and sleep with him.

In anger, if by chance he lived not faraway, the hubby wouldn't care if the corper knew or not. He could have harmed him.

God save us.

BitCraftman:
The problem here is evil communication. It corrupts good manners.
Her problem escalated when she started feeling less attention or satisfaction, and these started when she started hearing about other peoples experiences. She didn't know what she was missing until she started gearing about others having it better than her. I am sure this curiosity led her to the corper she cheated with.

Evil communication, indeed corrupts good manners.

Correct. Unknown to her some of those friends might even have worse sex life at home. Perhaps even jealous of her having a caring hubby. Never fully trust such female friends.

Try to improve what you have. How sure is she that the corper will find happiness with her and three kids in tow? There are many fresh nubile girls about.

Which good friends ask you to cheat on your spouse?
They couldn't advise them to seek medical help together?

The unsuspecting corper could have got himself killed if the hubby knew him.

GboyegaD:
I am still trying to understand the effrontery of the lecturer alongside the stupidity of the student if this is not an act in a movie. It is either most of our lecturers do not know their limits or the students do not understand their rights.

I wonder. Physical contact of that nature should be off limit.

It is actually assault. Assault is not only when you slap or beat somebody up. Send him out to go barb his hair if he is breaking any written school rules.
But 9ja Na jungle.

fairfora:
Did you read yesterday's paper? What if channelstv? Pick a paper and read because our people have moved steps further on amotekun.

No going back

Point of correction, fulani never ruined or runned oyo empire. They took over kwara due to lack of agreement and power tussle between two brothers, the leasom which yorubas have learned greatly for centuries. After realising this mistakes , we've remained ever united even till today and that's what you're seeing now. People make mistakes. Even since independence, yorubas might not have been presidents but we've always dictated who governs this country. We have always been ruling underground because they cant do without us.

As for Oyo Empire and Fulani, the history is well known. Remember that Ondo and other Yoruba tribes (there was no uniform Yoruba identity back then) came to the aid of Oyo. What there were many more Anfoja's back then?

Southerners are very naive. We know nothing about Northern elite.

Ideologically we are miles apart. Killing a Christian leader is something the vast majority quietly applaud. In fact there should be no Christian at all.

Never mind their deceptive ways.

They consider our Southern tolerance as weakness. They feel they are closer to Islamizing Nigeria than anytime since over-running Oyo Empire.

RUGA will give them a militia based in bushes throughout Nigeria. That will be Boko Haram nationwide. Fulani Brigade Commanders nationwide will supply the militias weapons endlessly.

If not why are Northerners s concerned about Amotekun? An outfit governors with security outfit of their own want to use to protect their people? Do they want Fayemi & Akerodulu to stand akimbo while their citizens are being killed, maimed and raped in bushes?

Their goal is soon they will sponsor their people in Kwara, Kogi, Oyo & Osun to push for more Sharia stuff like Hisbah police.

gambia:
I don't think thats what el rufai is doing, if you go through the past paragraph shown below you could read more meaning to his statement.

“The federal government has supported the electricity sector with N1.7 trillion in the last three years and this is not sustainable. So, solutions must be found, those solutions are not going to be nice, they may be painful but the only way to solve the structural problems in the industry is to take some very difficult decisions.”

Dude, same same. FG supported darkness with N1.7 trillion. How do you want to twist this?

You mean FG was incompetent enough to not know what will or will not work?? No body studied what they were "supporting" before hand? You make it sound like govt had only a passing interest in what some aliens were doing wrongly.

Just go the whole length and blame Dame Pat, Jonathan, Wike & Fayoshe for "eating" the money over the past three years.

Leave politicking alone and be honest.

RaptObserver:
Gradually, Bihari will hit the 16 billion dollars target of OBJ too. Then he won't have the moral right to question OBJ about that money.

He already lacks the moral right. If we judge by his promise of light on a 24 hours basis within 6 months.

We have now had 6 months x 9 plus since. OBJ didn't even give a time-frame. Not justifying OBJ's wasted and looted money.

Buhari had like 12 years to perfect his plans to rule. Even weeping publicly to be given a chance to rule.

But OBJ went from prison to Aso Rock. Maybe he never expect to be president ever again. But he still created institutions and brought policies that moved our economy forward. Despite his failure in infrastructure.

In a country where govts and parliaments at all levels, and MDAs budget heavily for gen and fuel, it tells you they are not serious.

Mazzzzzzimum Respek mann. YNWA!

We're on the home straight now. 9 more EPL wins to gold plate the season fully. World & European Champs. Who nor go nor know.

Neddstark:
God protect us o. Sometimes in Nigeria, its risky to be in a money-spinning business without enemies. Was talking with some policemen recently. Got to know that with 50k, you can hire an assasin, as in a very willing one.

50k might be too much sef. Half of that, some Igbo and kaikai might be enough. Life is cheap like Indomie in 9ja. A country with so many frustrated, hungry, hopeless and energetic drugged up young people. It's no surprise.

It could have been anyone. Even mistaken identity. That's the scary part of it.

RIP to him.

datola:
Shameless people running to other people's land, abandoning their God's given land to spoil.

Trump should ban all the politicians and their families from travelling to the US for any reason.

Sadly those politicians' kids probably have green cards or passports already. Most have sorted themselves and future generations long ago.

But still God pass them.

RUGA and herdsmen bearing arms across the country is in preparation for civil war.

The herdsmen know all the forests in the South.
They will encircle the South easily if RUGA is also allowed to operate.

seborrhic:
In other words Tinubu the god of yorubas has spoken.
It's left to see if the masses and general acceptance of Amotekun in Yorubaland will now fade because he says no to Amotekun.
Reminds me of how many lagosians were hailing Ambode's performance.Soon as Tinubu started sending feelers he wasn't in support of his re-election,like camelons they all lily liverely changed tunes and color to dance to the new music of their demi-god.
Shameful.

Amotekun has already failed. The governors will soon backslide. Doublespeak and changing like chameleon is nothing new in SW politics. If they can promise Fayemi a good position in 2023 and pacify Akerodulu, it's finished.

Tinubu is telling them if at all, it should be done state by state like the FULANI MASTERS said. He will convince the governors that given the "peculiarities" of Nigeria, state by state would be a good compromise.

That ways states cannot pull resources and manpower together to create a strong security Network. Soon it will be dead in Osun & Ekiti. Due to lack of funds.

We know enough about selfish Southern politicians by now.

Well, she has succeeded in telling the entire human race that the guy bleeped her. She should clap for herself.

What she's doing is a criminal act. Public assault and breach of the peace.

If she claims rape, she cannot prove it. But there's plenty of witnesses/evidence of her assault.

Police will only bleep her some more to get bail.

Very shameful.

Gross.

EzeAmusu:
imagine spending almost one full day on the road because of konji.oga the guy no pay any transport money.na prick go kill that aunty las las.

Aswear.

EzeAmusu:
If to say u die for accident on your way to go and fornicate watin u go tell baba God.shameless and worthless ediot.

My thought exactly. Taking such risk for konji.
I guess the guy paid for the trip at least.

danilmo:
so assuming ure in his shoe and position u would have said Yes in support or No in against. that ll b very intelligent of u , don't u think so .

What position? Hoping the North will give him presidency?

That's more important than the lives of Yoruba and other Nigerians being slaughtered?

Even if he became president, he will also try to be too intelligent and do nothing about herdsmen in the SW or South as a whole.

People like you will still defend him by saying he needs to secure second term first. In his second term over intelligence will require him to mellow so that Yoruba can get another chance to rule in the future.

Pa Awo put personal ambition behind SW interest. Otherwise he could have worked with the North in the first republic to gain central power. But he found them not progressive enough to work with centrally. So it would not benefit Nigerians at the rate of development he envisaged.

A truly selfless and intelligent Southern politician right now would again rather fight for decentralisation. Amotekun is a tentative step.

backnbeta:
come out clean! All the story didn't point to any direction...we still don't know where you stand on Amotekeun sir

Very wishy washy my dear. Pretending as though Malami didn't get clearance from Buhari.

Being overly diplomatic and political is obfuscation.

It's like trying to spread blame to others except Buhari.

Did he get the point of view of Buhari on the matter before this epistle?
Enough of speaking from both sides of the Mouth.

The reason for SS and SE to stay out of it. Otherwise they will soon blame "outsiders" for fanning the embers of hate between SW and the North.

SW want Amotekun. The North says no. How hard is it to succinctly say where you stand on it?

jeromedee:
7million fulani? Who dash them that figure? Abi you add hausa join them?

Maybe he added all the Fula in Niger, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Guinea. You know they can all enter Nigeria, join the army or do anything at will.

ideynl1:
.

Physical protest, them go hide.

Where are all those screaming 'Amotekun must stay'?

Them don hide.

Just wait and see. This Amotekun thing will soon dissipate. Tinubu will work underground to dissuade SW governors and he still won't get presidential ticket in 2023. At best they will give Fayemi. A Christian Southerner and a Northern Muslim like El-Rufai will be VP. Religion will be used to disqualify Tinubu. Deliberately of course.

If only our Democracy back in 1999 started with a man like President Muhammadu Buhari,
unfortunately it started with thieves, looters and fraudsters!

But all hope is not lost,
we are in a safe hand as a nation.
Slow and steady we will get to a New and better Nigeria.
Thank God Daddy is in the helms of affairs now.
It could have been worse!

The same Buhari who committed treason by overthrowing a democratic govt in 1983? He would have been shot if the coup failed. So Buhari is one of the worst people by undermining the democratic choice of Nigerians in 1983.

Spare us the old yarn of he didn't take part in the coup. The person slated to take over after a coup does not take part physically in a coup. IBB was at home in Minna when BUHARI was overthrown in 1985. Same with Murtala Mohamed when he overthew Gowon in 1975.

Gwilym:
I hate to be cynical, but the same thing is going to happen with 'regional police'...as is happening with 'Nigeria police'.

It is the same people that will staff the regional security organisaitons, that will staff the Police....and the same abuses will happen well well.

I know Nigerians. No matter how many times we arrange ourselves, the same old abuses will happen.

Perhaps. But much easier to sack a governor (who will have more control in regional police system) in the next election than president/FG in Abuja at the next election. That gives more clout to local voters.

All the governors cannot be equally dumb. At least some will handle their local Regional Police Command well.

But you can have an olodo quota system and inflated regional population rigged president you cannot sack for good 8 years. SW will certainly do well. That will challenge SE and SS regional police to do well too.

Total evil. Failed police in a failed system. Life imprisonment direct.

RIP. Sorry for being an average Nigerian. It has become a grave sin.

RapistOnBail:
Chai! See Bobby wey just waste.

Meanwhile I am recruiting female models.

With this your moniker you do any job that involves women?

So Seun and Mods accept any moniker at all?

hungryboy:
We have the must stupid set of lawmakers in the World.

This ediots instead of doing their work of checkmating the executive and passing bills that will benefit the people of Imo, plan to decamp, so that the will now join hands with the Governor in looting Imo treasury.

I Swear democracy was not made for the black man

Well, the first law is self-preservation. To secure own next 4 years in office come next HoA elections will trump the interests of Imolites with our primitive politicians any time. Sadly.

Being in APC will give them more connections to Lagos & Abuja too. You also get more protection from EFCC and overwhelming Federal might.

They are all fighting for their belly. Both short, medium and long term.
