Let him start as his Local government chairman

Nigeria is too big for him to use it to experiment.

Anyways, he’s cashing out with donations

He should start at Local Government? Why? To learn how to steal and oppress?

All the people that started from the bottom are they not massive looters and oppressors now?

If nor be say them dey craze, nor be since when Baba even dey alive them supposed add am for the Hall of Fame?

Man brought a different type of vibe and spirit to the game.

You cant be inducted until 25 years AFTER your first album. Its not akara and moinmoin award

SmartPolician:
You are saying a different thing. I said that someone is dead when they are not conscious, not breathing and have no pulse. The opposite are the 3 major conditions that keep us alive.

Applying CPR on someone who doesn't have the 3 is like going to a mortuary and applying CPR on corpses. Anyone who does that is eit[b][/b]her foolish or trying their luck.

No thats not how first aid works.

The very fact that someone is non responsive ( unconscious, not breathing, no pulse) is EXACTLY Why you apply CPR in the hopes that you revive them. Thats why its called REVIVE THEM.

Quick question: Have you ever been in such a situation? If you haven't, you seriously should ask those who have been. I suggest you also visit the websites of the Red Cross. American Medical Association or even Mayo Clinic

SmartPolician:
If you say that CPR is for dead people and you are a medical student or doctor, then it's obvious why we have many trained quacks in Nigeria.

My man. I am not in Nigeria. This is what is practiced in the United States. Its what I have seen with my own eyes. And here is a screenshot from Google.

If you see someone at an accident scene or injured or distress and is non responsive, not breathing, no pulse; you attempt to give CPR.

SmartPolician:
That Professor Timothy A. Anake should be arrested immediately. I'm glad that someone else spotted the lie in this press statement.

You see, there are 3 major factors that show we are live - consciousness, breath and pulse. No medical doctor will apply CPR on a patient who is already dead!

AED and CPR are only applied on patients who are unconscious, not breathing but have a pulse.

I want a medical doctor to counter my comment if I am wrong.

CPR is actually for people without a pulse. As in dead. You try and revive them.

If its my country, the lady would have been arrested and the family made to pay heavy bail and compensation to the man's family.

In normal countries they know people die for many reasons, so an investigation ( autopsy) will be done first.

I hope Ghana is a normal country.

Since the beginning of this crisis, he has not travelled to his hometown. Why is he afraid?” he asked.

thrillionaire:
I dey always wonder how them dey do am wey begging nor dey enter their hearts. That thing wey dem wan do, dem must do am.

Its the result of an organized society. Where laws are made by THE PEOPLE for THE PEOPLE and enforced by THE PEOPLE.

A police man stops you for driving the wrong way and wants to give you a ticket or arrest you and you are begging? One he knows that law protects him and his family.

Two: His salary and the credit system allows him to live comfortably, have house and every thing needed to live normally.

Lasting begging is synonymous most times with lack of self worth and dignity. Most oyinbo will die before begging. Many of those countries got to where they are through revolution or wars with the motto ; Death or Liberty.

Try dey watch full video before jumping into useless conclusions

Oga I watched the video on his page. Na my conclusion o....Nigeria is still a free country.

Happy Good Friday man....

I sent a very powerful and influential person to Kuje prison.
Mtcheww . See achievement.

Can you imagine. The audacity. The arrogance. The madness. The pride.

Pride comes before a fall. VDM becareful.
The moment he said " I will arrest you. I will send you to prison " is when I knew there may be no difference between these critics or activists and our leaders.
If not for the country we have become even a Governor cant send you to prison. That's the job of Judge who must follow laid down rules. And in normal countries, its only police that can arrest, an arrest which must follow rules and cannot be longer than 2 days except the person is brought before a Judge.

But in Nigeria anybody with money or connection can tell his enemy who has less money or connection " I will arrest you" I will send you to prison.

Hungrychicken:
Can someone explain this sentence to me?

There's an option of bail, 1million naira on each count. What does that mean, Freedom after meeting the bail conditions?

The first counts attracted 5 years imprisonment each to run concurrently, so no matter what he will stay in prison for 5 years. Not 30 years though.

The other counts he can choose to pay the 1 million fine, if he doesn't it will be part of his prison time.

But im sure he won't pay, as all the sentences have started running at the same time and it's all 5 years.

Things that can cause this clash.
1) Money

4) Land and Properties.
5) insecurity.

It is not every thing you go de do Cho,Cho ,Cho about!
Na Obedient and PDP Sympathetisers de do like that.
Make you de compliments the govt where necessary
Or
Do you think say,these White folks will just be coming without wooing them ?
You go de on one spot for long!
For since SAHEL COUNTRIES don embark on Military 🪖 dictatorship,did you see anybody welcoming them?

Wooing them to do what exactly? What happened to all the trips or Buhari, GEJ and OBJ? When last did Trump or the UK Prime Minister come to Nigeria to woo Nigerians to come to their countries?

boxypane:
This is bad news. Wonder if the vehicle wasn't informed about the plane using the run way.

It was a fire fighting vehicle attending to an emergency at the Airport.

Very unfortunate.

From my experience working with at the Airport, this is likely an unfortunate situation, but "blame" on the fire fighters to an extent.

A plane that is given right to land and to taxi, does not stop for anyone; every one clears the runway. No other plane will be in the way if traffic control is doing its job.

But emergencies are not planned, so fire fighters responding to an emergency to save a life dont normally stop for anyone too....BUT they must be on the lookout for cars and passengers not obeying or unaware of them, not to talk of a whole plane.

onuman:
Bolded.
It should not be difficult to understand why Nigeria armed forces are yet to wipe out the Islamists, including bandits.

The Islamic terrorists are fighting to get a country to be governed with Islamic sharia criminal justice system.
Political and religious leaders in the far north 12 states of Nigeria adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system beginning 1999.
The sharia states are using Nigeria's government institutions and aided by Islamic terrorists to get Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

When you consider that these politicians are womanizing kleptomaniacs, i wonder how they ll survive under Sharia.

I really dont know what to say at this point. When General Chris was re appointed, he gave so much hope for a new beginning. True, the military has recorded some progress last few weeks ; but there has not been much change. Hundreds if not thousands of Nigerians are still in kidnappers den; not in Ghana or Togo o, but here in Nigeria.

As for Nuhu Ribadu, the man we once saw as one of the few shining lights in Nigeria; his comments last month about bandits wanting peace is completely unbelievable.

Its hard to understand how in a country with an Air Force, Navy and Army and over 1 million security forces all armed ( Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, Security Defense, Prisons etc) we cant wipe out these devils.

Bandits are now planting IEDS? Those are not Bandits anymore, they are Boko Haram like terrorists.
The word Bandits means thief. These ones bave long graduated from being thieves. These are killers.

ElevationD:
Yes, but Green cards issued before 1989 do not have expiration dates.

You are right.

FreeStuffsNG:
Green Card holder can stay permanently in the US and enjoy privileges citizens have even though on paper they are designated as immigrants.

On birth citizenship, April 1st, 2026 is the hearing date. Save the date

Green Card is not forever, its only valid for 10 years and then must be renewed, which can be denied. Conditional Green Card is 2 years.

The Supreme Court does not have the power to amend the constitution. Donald Trump will loose the case.

FreeStuffsNG:
It is even more common among those who are ordinary citizens here who relocate never to return again.

There is nothing prestigious again about US/ UK citizenship if your parents or grandparents are migrants even with green cards. US citizenship by birth is on hold and may be cancelled by the US supreme court. Things have changed and reality is that you may have green card yet you are not fully regarded as a US citizen.

There is a semblance of that law in some strategic offices in Nigeria and there is nothing the person can do when invoked against him or her. I recall the case of two sisters who were born in the US, play basketball yet serious problems to get Nigerian citizenship despite both parents being Nigerians by birth.

Even in some states in Nigeria, and some LGA in Lagos, you will not get your letter of indigeneship if your ancestry has been blurred because of long stay overseas.

It is possible in Nigeria. You and your descendants can not stay overseas for multiple generations, contributing nothing to Nigeria and now come to claim citizenship.

All these tax reforms can not be imposed on only Nigerians fulfilling their citizenship obligations. This is why Indians always go back home to marry, have children, religious pilgrimage, cremation, pay taxes, etc.

Italians in diaspora are behaving like unpatriotic Nigerians in diaspora and they should both face same barrier.

Green Card holder is not and was never a citizen.

Citizen by birth on hold? Anyone born in the United States is a citizen. Its in the Constitution and America has not had a constitutional amendment since 1992.

RIP sir. Can't forget the only world cup you took Nigeria to, it was a shamble of Nigeria s outing at the world cup history.

Once again, RIP sir.

Shamble? How? He did well with what he had. We won 1, draw England, lost 1. Even though NFA cut off most of our stars like Finidi due to squabbles with the Football House.

Contextual Information:
Historical Funding: In the 10 years prior to 2021, the federal government invested a total of ₦67 billion into NTA, with a significant portion going toward personnel costs.
2020 Allocation: In 2020, NTA received ₦6.6 billion, with ₦6.1 billion for personnel and only ₦303.8 million for capital projects.

193 Million for Content acquisition? Can you even acquire 3 moderate talent level shows with that? This is not 1980 when actors were paid N500 o.

yinkus6750:
Why must Iran now focus it's attack on fellow Islamic nations ?
Destroying Dubai has no effect on USA.
Trump will ensure he achieved his purpose on Iran.
UAE has been a peaceful tourist nation. It's destruction,tho will indirectly affect so many other countries. But that won't save Iran from been cleared of its terrorist activities.

Actually it will. If the economies of Middle Eastern nations are affected, so will that of the US.

Its like your opponent is a very strong man who lives far from you and you cant approach him before his guards deal with you.

But his children and businesses live in the same street as you. By attacking them, you are attacking the strong man.

If Arab oil flow is disrupted, the entire world will feel it. Remember 1973 and 1990.

When REMI TINUBU went to USA she had wanted to align with this woman and do their normal photo ops and Meliana Trump refused adamantly.

We were told that Meliana Trump said she can't Stand with a BIGOT..and a woman that LIES brazenly with the name of the church. More was said but I will keep it on the LOW for now...

FreeStuffsNG...I hope you know that Nairaland is not PM NEWS of fake Journalists.

Where did you hear this?

Are there any pictures or videos of her trip to the US. Surprisingly I haven't seen any here.

I know what you mean but did you see what Fashola believed in? Institutions vs persons. For Fashola to receive a call means that his commissioners are not in charge. Of course most of those calls will go unanswered but what he did put his workers on their toes. People were afraid of Fashola because you could report them. That's what that action did.

Definitely that was a good move by Fashola.

SixSeven:
I asked AI to help me summarize what Fashola did back then.

Fashola’s approach to direct communication was most famously demonstrated during his tenure as Governor of Lagos State through his public release of a personal mobile number, 0803 430 1122, which he encouraged citizens to use for reporting issues and providing feedback. In a well-documented interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Fashola explained that he intentionally made his number public because he viewed the people as his employers and felt it was necessary to be accessible to their complaints regarding public services.

He often recounted how he would personally read SMS messages from residents reporting broken pipes, potholes, or corrupt officials, sometimes forwarding these messages directly to the relevant commissioners for immediate action.


Another significant source of this policy was seen during his 2900th-day-in-office address, where he highlighted that his accessibility was a deliberate tool for "citizen-driven governance." He argued that the office of the Governor should not be a fortress, and by allowing people to reach him, he could bypass bureaucratic bottlenecks to see the real state of the city through the eyes of its inhabitants. This was further reinforced during his "Time Out with Fashola" sessions and town hall meetings, where he frequently reminded the audience that his lines were open, though he often preferred SMS to voice calls to ensure he had a written record of the complaint to track.


Furthermore, when Fashola transitioned to the federal level as a Minister, he reiterated this philosophy during various press briefings and social media posts on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account. He argued that public officials should not be "deities" and that the act of sharing a contact number was a symbol of the social contract between the leader and the led. Unlike the more distant or formal approaches seen in other political contexts, Fashola’s stance was that a leader’s accessibility is a fundamental requirement for building trust and ensuring that the government remains responsive to the actual needs of the community

https://www.nairaland.com/992164/fashola-lagosians-call-me-08034301122

Obi was also reported to do something like this and told people to call him. I remember El Rufai too. I will ask AI to help me summarize it because the Rascals we are having in power don't know that it is PUBLIC SERVICE AND THEY Are PUBLIC SERVANTS. They behave like emperors because we let them to do this to us. There was a time they all wanted to be SERVANT GOVERNORS because of Yar'Adua. The Governors should know what to do and not wait for the President to copy from but this statement alone is enough to send him away from office if I voted. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

This was Oshiomole at the Senate, thinking just because he was a Governor, he had more privilege than his mates.

A Governor should be 100% accessible. But A Governor who is really doing his job CANNOT be randomly picking phone calls.
Of course the way this Governor responded definitely fits your description of them being Emperor.

Even me a business owner knows how much productive time is consumed by picking phone calls. There was a time I was on the phone from morning to night responding to customer messages, it was madness; I got no real work done and even made customers complain; same customers i was trying to please o.

I had to over time adequately train specific staff to properly attend to the customers who were always demanding to talk to only me.

Why will a Governor be picking anyone's phone calls? It makes no sense. Except for his family, the President and few leaders like the Party leaders and fellow Governors

That's why he has Assistants and Aides.

The moment you are Governor, anyone and everyone that needs to see you books a physical appointment and hopes to maybe see you, phone call is not an option. Most people don't need to physically see the Governor, thats why he or she has hundreds of people working for or with him that can attend to people: Commissioner, Special Assistants, Civil Servants etc.

Although very hard to defend most Nigerian leaders especially Governors.

Many if not all I am sorry to say are criminals pretending to be politicians. Their only purpose in government is to steal money, get mistresses and prepare for the next election.

Botragelad:
Iran is so lost it’s now attacking another Muslim country. Whatever happened to the ummah? Keep isolating yourselves and making enemies, eventually Israel will wipe out the regime.😂

Another Muslim country? Iran has been the enemy of Saudi and most Arab nations since the 1978 revolution.

Iranians are not Arabs, they are Persians. They also follow Shite Islam, not Sunni which majority of Muslims follow.
