she should have come out straight rather than makin it look like magic or she's the only with a big God

Well we do not know if she has any adult exposure to Nigeria. If she does not have, she would believe everyone does it on mortgage. I doubt she foresaw being discussed on Nairaland.

50k job is minimum wage in the US.

The home might be on mortgage. Dont envy her. You might be in a better financial situation than her

Minimum wage in US ke? Where in US is that? £50k is not minimum wage in any country. Even many professional cadre first few years salary is still less than that. Mind you this is minimum 60k dollars with currently weak pounds sterling.

Some in US do three jobs and still earn less than half of that.

That is a completely different point from saying that the "security are just wearing uniform and collecting money". That is an insult to the memory of the IRT policemen that lost their lives while trying to arrest a kidnapper. The same policemen that have arrested many kidnappers in the past. It's also an insult to many other security officers that are risking their lives and trying to do their jobs properly and keep you and I alive.


If you say that some people are not doing their jobs well, I can agree with you. If you say some people have been compromised, I can agree with you. But it's not true that "the security are just wearing uniform and collecting money".

I for one was not supporting or disagreeing with who you quoted. I only stated that the killed IRT guys had no uniforms and that fear of compromised military personnel probably made them try to avoid military checkpoints scrutiny.
I know nothing about bribe or laziness in general in the military.

naptu2:
Yes, but that's not my point. You briefly touched on my point in the first part of your response.


This thread is about a traditional ruler in Zamfara that was arrested for abetting bandits.

The other poster said that the "security" were not doing anything except wearing uniform and collecting money.


I remember (and I showed it in my post) that the minister of defence had previously said that Zamfara emira were aiding the bandits and in fact some emirs had been arrested for aiding and abetting bandits.

In response the emirs called for the sacking of the defence minister.

Furthermore, the IRT operatives have arrested several bandits in Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, etc. I wouldn't call that "doing nothing". The military has also arrested several bandits and several of these bandits have been prosecuted.

I think the whole thing is very murky. Hard to tell who is who. Our people say by night grass become human beings.

Some communities are probably in strangle-hold of kidnappers that virtually everyone accepts it as a good business. Or even plays some role in it.

Under direct instructions from powers that be, the security and military agents do hunt down kidnappers. But it doesn't seem to be the case generally.

naptu2:
Wow!!! So you mean that the IRT policemen that arrested the kidnapper are not "uniformed security"??

The IRT guys were on covert operation. Obviously not wearing uniforms.

They probably knew the kidnapper had close military links so they wanted to escape from the soldiers. Because soldiers would have freed the arrested kidnap kingpin from IRT if they knew at the military checkpoints as the policemen drove by.

Are you not surprised that they managed to kill the policemen while the arrested kidnapper gingerly "escaped"?

Methinks the kidnapper's people alerted the soldiers who then had to silence the police guys and free the kidnapper.

Nor be 9ja?

The full story is not told.

Deepthoughts:
This wole soyinka self apart from being a professor what other position does he occupy that gives him so much clout to command the respect he often accorded?.

International status, literary Icon, Nobel Prize winner, social critic, human right and political activist and conscience of the nation until he somehow supported Buhari's election in 2015 despite knowing far better. From his well publicised opinion of Buhari.

He could have become stupendously rich by just siding with the govt of the day and getting oil blocks and contracts like a typical Nigerian. But he didn't

Yes he deserves all the respect.

You forgot who scored the highest goals for Everton as a Nigerian player and one of the highest in EPL from Africa: Yakubu Aiyebeni.

Really tragic story.

Seun what id happening with porn on all ur thread

They will not ban such people o. But when you criticise govt of the day, na fiam!

I think Seun has already "made it" and cares less about reputation of once glorious Nairaland that we knew.

It's the way African things go. We cannot sustain standards for long. We soon take eyes off the ball. So not unique here.

Since NL is now a shadow of itself, banning doesn't scare anyone anymore.

andrew444:
Agreed ,I think you followed Barca

If to say Liverpool no eliminate Barca we no go talk all the negative things about coutinho

Am a Barca fan

Not really. Even if they won Coutinho would not have been a success still. Considering his poor contributions at Barcelona.

andrew444:
Moderator please stop putting fake news to front page coutinho haven't join Arsenal yet

He will be a good buy for Arsenal ,I heard Tottenham have just joined the race

Coutinho didn't do that bad for Barcelona at 1st ,but the way he played last season was horrible

Many of you guys said laliga is an easy league but countino find it easier at Liverpool than Barcelona ,and mind you football is easy at Barca even if you are a crappy player ,I still think coutinho is world class sha ,maybe it's because of Barca coach donkey Velverde

But to be honest coutinho is a right footed robben with less vision and talent

Coutinho thrived at LFC because he had a good flow with the players and manager. Some players rely on confidence reposed in them.

The the pressure the hit the ground running considering price tag.

Show the breasts he pressed or you know the rest......

People kolo sha. Wetin dey random breasts to press again.

I hope nor be latest yahoo ritual. At least the breasts did not disappear.

Xander85:
Well i don't know about 'slimy', but i'm with you on his naivety in feeling it's ok to form a country with bigots and primitive-minded savages! I'm cutting him some slack though, given the pan-Nigerian nature of his early years!

You know Zik was fluent in speaking the three main Nigerian languages?

I know this post is old but Zik would have seen a broken up Nigeria as a personal failure. Born in Niger State and worked mostly in Lagos professionally, he saw Nigeria as a whole as his home. Awo was Yoruba through and through and Ahmadu Bello was Fulani through and through.

Zik had a natural affinity towards Nigeria as a whole that other Nigerian leaders of their time did not share.

He just could not justify potential splitting of Nigeria while campaigning with Nkrumah, Kaunda, Emperor Haile Silasie and others to strengthen African unity.

When Biafra war started, Awo saw the chance to outplay his great rival Zik. Surely the North would let him rule now after helping to preserve one Nigeria.

Otherwise Awo never believed one Nigeria would prosper. He knew the North is not progressive. That made Awo a better politician and a better reader of the game.

Na wa o.

Kikkikiki

Sahara Abi Na Kalahari reporters wey dey lie and make mouth under Jonathan don dey take serious brutality from their Messiah Buhari. Wonderful. The wicked deserve their punishment.

careytommy37:
Sowore cannot use my head to break coconut.

Na Buhari nor sabi. He should have made Sowore head of one authority or department like that. To reward him for Sahara Reporters propaganda against GEJ in 2011/15.

After using innocent heads to do cannon fodder, the organisers will go and settle with FG and rake in billions. Like militant leaders did.

Dottore:
Some fools after seeing the way these ones were handled would still be nursing the idea of committing the same crime.

Some will still rely on one Otumokpor that one baba gave them.

Fact is fly wey go kpeme dey follow dead body enter grave. If they ignored all the advice their mothers gave them, these pics will not stop them.

babzo:
But isn't he planning to distribute them? Not that i support the whole constituency project nonsense; but this doesn't make much sense.
Maybe he is planning to distribute them at a later date.
Except there is evidence he has been selling them and pocketing the proceeds.

Something is not right. Was he delaying them to use for elections next time?

What will he do with those stuff? Why has he not sold them already?

Who purchased those stuff in the first place? I understand they get cash from NASS and then spend to empower constituents. Why would he buy them and just stash away? He can never sell them and recover original purchase price back.

The whole constituency project stuff is nonsense. Legislators have no business spending money. They should maintain an open office with staff in their constituency. Attending to & supporting constituents with human right issues, recommendation, intervening on their behalf,etc.

Empowerment in material terms should be by local councils. Or Office/Board of Employment.

NASS just got themselves a way to get their fingers on cash.

Mental health support in tertiary institutions needs to drastically improve. Especially now that kids of 15 and 16 are going to university.

Pressure and stress are intense. Heartbreak and poverty also contribute a lot.

Over all stigma attached to mental health needs to go. A lot of social problems we witness are due to mental health issues.

And mental health issues cause social problems.

Kini big deal? Is she any body's wife? Is her husband complaining?

If it's true then WAEC have questions to answer. She should sue the hell out of them.

Yep. While I would so much like to criticise her, our civil servants are very useless. Indolent, corrupt, lazy and mess up things anyhow. Since Murtala Mohammed did a mass sack of "corrupt" civil servants, it gradually became a cesspit.

For that reason it is hard to know who's lying about certificate non-availability.

When Buhari left school in 1961, the system was much saner and still under Cambridge Exam board in UK.

Hmmm. Good innovation back then. Obsolete now.

MrPresident1:
Nigerians like sex too. Nigerians like sex pass Ghanaians. More sex is going down in Nigeria per time than in Ghana because we have a larger population, so even if the whole of Ghana is sexual active, the number still no reach wetin dey go down for Naija any time

We are talking of sex sessions per head. Or per capita.

If an average Nigerian has 300 rounds of sex per year, a Ghanaian probably has 450 per year. And mind you assuming none of both groups suffer from premature ejaculation.

That is what they are trying to say to my understanding.

Fact is just because some countries talk less about it does not mean they are not at it like rabbits. Some are just smooth operators.

Has she tried Nigeria..... Even as I'm typing now.... They are having it hot.... Every second of the day

Can your mobile power handle a freezer? Plus how do you recharge it?

Well my internet is still intact.

Hmmm. Plenty of dough. It is well.

Seriously gross. Many young people are very dirty these days. Almost worldwide aside places like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, etc.
