Nice123: Considering the actions of this lady, a 37-year-old youth within her first 8 months in office, it's a stark realization of the state of our nation At times, I reflect on whether there's any Nigerian, myself included, untouched by corruption, someone who wouldn't embezzle public funds if presented with the chance.
Who shall save Nigeria? The earlier we realised what we are doing to ourselves, the better for us. Clock is ticking, one day monkey go go market e no go return.
when people shout, give the youth a chance at leadership, I laugh.
DaddyJapan: I have neither the time nor inclination to continue going back and forth with a half-baked upstart, who is clearly immutable to reason. You think stringing words together shows you have the right tools of analysis? But empathy, you no get. Decorum, nah foreign concept.
Listen, it is your life and your right to align with malignant forces as you see fit. Knock yourself out while you are at it.
but you dedicated the best of your last 48 hours fighting with a dead man named T.B Joshua who can't speak for himself anymore. So your tools of analysis ma for dead people?
DaddyJapan: You are worried about my mental health? But it is you who comes across as someone in the throes of schizophrenia.
Didn't anyone teach you about reparatory justice in school? Oh, wait, because he is dead, you think all his sins should also be forgotten?
Let me set you straight here; because his crimes were not victimless, what this documentary has set in motion is the beginning of the end of his fledging empire. If you seriously think your rants are going to stop the wheels of justice, you have another thing coming.
One phrase betrayed your jealousy : Fledging Empire[i][/i]
You're an emo-bitch possessed with the spirit of abiku and envy. You must be one of all those striving, unkept hungry pastors using wooden school backyard for your failed church ministry with members peopled by widows and single mothers.
You're a small-minded insecure butthurt who allowed emotions cloud your reasoning....
I simply asked a question; this man has pastored the synagogue for decades before he died and his alleged atrocities were committed many many years ago.
Why now?
I want you to do the hardest thing you have never done in your life of strife and envy....hold your emotions for 30 minutes and ask yourself why now?
All these victims, including a British aristocrat and many other foreigners were victims of his cult activities but BBC and the media were silent until he died and there was a successor infighting and suddenly a BBC documentary?
You're an emo-pastor with the intelligence of a desert millipede and a near-empty church.
T.B Joshua had two kinds of people who attack him eternally since he began his ministry:
Corrupt, thieving, greedy and hungry unsuccessful pastors like you --who ran out of business by his philanthropy and simplicity-- and a host of possessed demonic pixies who needed exorcism.
Also, it was reported in the last video that the man, TB Joshua, conveniently died days after his former disciples gave their first interview to the BBC, not before.
and we only got to know of it now? Was that interview never released until now?
DaddyJapan: I can see that the latest revelations get right under your skin.
You know, it is not too late to free yourself from Joshua's 'cult of personality'. Ponder over what is presented here, as clarity will lead you to a place of real fulfilment
never fellowshipped at Synagogue. Don't even reside in Lagos but I'm worried for your soul and mental health.
The level of energy you exude fighting a dead man shows you're just a walking dead yourself.
DaddyJapan: It is a long time coming but Cult-Daddy was always going to face a day of reckoning. In fact for all we know, his stroke/undisclosed illness might even have been triggered by advanced knowledge of this particular investigation.
This one is a small win for his victims who are still struggling to achieve proper rehabilitation and restitution.
Now the demythification of Cult-Daddy can kick into full swing, in spite of feeble protests by Fani-Kayode and all other cult members.
see as you carry the matter for head jumping on people's mentions.
Are you one of the false hungry pastors he put out of business?
The BBC was still in existence and never did anything until several years after his death. Una no get shame? Coming after a dead man who can't defend himself.
fergie001: The Court is right. He was hounded, his house surrounded and he was picked up and ferried to Abuja from Lagos without charges. The right thing to do was invite him like they have done Edu, Farouq, etc.
4 out of 5 times, FG agencies won't pay the money and even if they appeal the judgement, it will always fail.
Nnamdi Kanu despite his terrorism charges still won a rights violation suit at the Federal High Court with the manner the soldiers attacked his country-home.
what many people don't know is that this agencies who judgement is given against in court violation suits often settle with the plaintiff out of the media eyes.
This happens when the plaintiff goes to court for execution of judgement, they seize their bank account and order the bank with a court directive to pay the money to the plaintiff. At this point, they start negotiating
I want to start off with a few important pointers/ disclaimers.
1. I am NOT Nigerian and do not claim to know everything about Nigeria. 2. Please do not be xenophobic or rude to me. I'm not strong enough lol 3. I will be as respectful as possible💞 4. I'll call the man in the story "Sam"
Okay so I'm a lady from a Southern African country. I met a Nigerian man who came here for "japa"/ "looking for better opportunities". I met him after he had arrived within 2months. I was walking into the club with my friends and he was in a vehicle with his friends. The driver stopped me to greet and he said hello. Sam greeted me and the driver asked for my number on his behalf lol. It was cute.
First thoughts, he was handsome in the face but definitely not anyone I'd be interested in talking to. He was unkept and clearly struggling financially just from his appearance. Anyway, he called that night to see if I'd be willing to chill with him and his friends, and I agreed. They came back around. He came into my car but I was put off by him telling me I'm so beautiful, calling me babe and saying "I'd wish to kiss you". Omg I was sooooo freaked out. Anyway I told him to leave my car and never call me again. Within an hour, my car's tyre burst ON THE flipping HIGHWAY😲. I called my father but he was almost 2 hours away so I called him and he came within 20minutes. Him nd his brothers came and fixed it for me.
From that day, we spoke and discussed every single day. I had never been with a Nigerian man or any serious relationship before but I liked him. I supported him financially for the longest time because I saw potential in him. I bought him his firs new clothes here, took him to all the nice places, and helped him with personal hygiene etc. I saw him as a friend. He is genuinely a good good person and I fell for his soul. His just so normal and pure. I am considered pretty, intelligent and independent so I won't lie and say that I can't find anyone else but he has my heart tbh.
Everything was going good but after 3months of being together everyday, he obviously wanted the Bleep. It was such a huge deal for me because I take that seriously. But anyway our relationship progressed in that direction - positively.
He would share the little money he had with me and food with me etc if I had recklessly spent my money etc lol. I was giving him a salary to start a business. Mind you, I studied psychology and I'm smart enough to know when I'm being scammed just because I'm a paranoid/anxious detective type naturally 🙈 anyway, we had the most incredible times and I know without a Shadow of a doubt he loves me.
Fast forward 2 months then I find that he is married with 3 kids. I knew about the kids - after finding out. Buti understand why he'd be hesitant to share that. My father is from a polygamous home so I do have strong feelings about that arrangement and single probably thought it's a bad idea to tell me. Well I found out, I was upset af. But I got over it. He never forced me to or anything but I genuinely thought I'd figure it out.
Well it's been 3 years. We have NEVER argued once about anything. We have the most compatible personalities. His calm, sweet and soft spoken. Same with me. His business is doing good and he has put me on a salary as I resigned, and want to start a business.
Nigerian men are the hill I'm willing to die in lol. I had Nigerian friends in the past (Yoruba) but Igbo men are just built different. They're natural born providers. I have access to his phones and vice versa. He knows everything about me and so do I. Including his marital issues (which are unfortunately plenty).
I know my family would not accept me marrying him although my mom adores him. My father would probably have a heart attack. They worked hard for us to be very well balanced, mentally strong women so I'm so surprised that I landed up in this position. I have an incredible family and lack nothing. Financially, emotionally, mentally... Everythingally...my family is able to provide.
Maybe because his my first actual relationship, I am failing to see the big picture. Truth is... I know he'll forever care for me but I also know that his wife only loves him for money, and uses his children against him. She literally told him she'd use juju on him and deny him access to the children if he leaves her.
I thought it'd be easy. Divorce in my country is so accessible and in a situation where a husband has suffered immeasurable abuse from a woman, he definitely has grounds to divorce her. Mind you, I know this because I went through his old messages from 8+ years ago and she was always berating him, accusing him, being hot and cold etc. She's so ungrateful and her only obsession is money. She compared him to Obi Cubana😅 calling out his supposed incompetence. Well I don't know, men aren't just money. They're people with feelings and lives, they deserve love regardless.
For an example, we bought his dad motorcycle and she complained that her dad didn't get one 😩 him and I are now financially good and blessed but I know deep in my soul that I cannot be a second wife.
This post is because I broke up with him yesterday and I know for a fact his not allowed to divorce since this was a marriage introduced by his dad. She has a child from another relationship but nobody even knows. I mean she's a liar liar. He knows but his family don't. And the kids is like 15.
Anyway, I wasn't to know what you guys think of this situation. Just chat honestly. I know he won't divorce and she would kill him but I also don't know what it's like to be a second wife or partner to a Nigerian. It sounds like a really bad idea because I like being the only one for my baby.
the long wailing half-truth half fiction of a very loose girl.
All these idiots with their untrained voice and dirty accent doing voiceover on YouTube should stop. Just let the video play or use written narrative.
The army officer must be a product of inbreeding.
So because soldiers are killed while doing their jobs is a reason for them to break the law at will?
These army bastards who lack discipline and training and exposure still assume they are better or superior to civilians. You're not.
Lazy ragtag army that has been reduced to boyscout by BH, world's strongest armies in US, France, UK, Russia etc are under civilian rule and authority and this washed out , dirty illiterate Nigeria army who can't even know their roles in society are filled with so much baseless ego.
Corrupt and lazy government. So you want to begin deduction of electronic transfer charges from 2021? What stopped them from implementing this regulations then?
I hereby declare a total war against name checkers on Nairaland.
Anyone who draws attention to the tribe of a criminal on a thread about a crime will be banned. This applies regardless of whether they do it overtly or covertly. Every offender will collect a ban because this is regarded as a tribal insult.
The minimum ban period is 14 days. If you have offended multiple times, it's 30 days. If you keep offending, you may be permanently banned.

PS: I've just made a communication breakthrough with the moderators on this issue. I expect results.
obviously acting after series of complaints. This has been going on here for decades.
Righthussle: When strong and reasonable women are fed up with any system just know that system will never survive.
When I say strong and reasonable women I don't mean those women that accept that the creator of the universe is a male and he has a begotten son and not a daughter.
I mean those rare ones that will tell you boldly that if there is a creator of the universe anywhere, it's must be a woman. Those ones that will never associate themselves with any religion or book that relegates and discriminates against women. Those ones that will never accept that a man was created first before a woman without a concrete scientific proof.
so this is what you have been looking for to justify your confused existence?
NextAbuja: Some of those lowlifes are now being recruited to constitute nuisance on social media n insult those rich enough to feed their fathers till eternity n beyond.
what's wealth or riches have to do with the topic?
What is the police doing over a purely civil matter?
If the carpenter didn't make the chair to specification, wetin concern police? Even the Lagos PPRO issued the dumbest defence in damage control history.
Nigeria police will always be a source of national embarrassment.
EleventhWeirdo: Dey play! How much is 400k sef? Why won't you Japa to a place you can have a sense of a secured future for your career and family? If you have weighty family responsibilities, you will know that 400k isn't much at all
lolz.... what's your skill or craft? What job would you do abroad that can earn you 400k a month?
Anyone who can't plan with 400k in Nigeria can't plan with anything.
I have never seen this many number of delusional youths for some time. Or are they only online?
ucheuzor1: He is not a fool bro. so many people are in this delima. Some even earn more but are thinking about this Japa issue. you don't know what the future holds for Nigeria based on how things are just descending
if you're on a monthly salary of 400k in Nigeria, the future is brighter than any prospects abroad.
A visa is not a brand new life. There are risks of deportation, and other matters to worry about plus the ill-treatment. Damn!
Elsucre24: I will be 31 this year. Omo the age is scaring me and I keep feeling like I’m not doing enough. I have a stable job in the private sector with a 400k monthly salary. But I still feel the impact of the economy badly. I keep asking myself, at what point will I start living the good live? I feel stock sometimes because my job is very demanding and I almost do not have time to do other things, mind you I’m in the medical field and I work Mondays to Sundays most times but occasionally I have some Sundays to myself and sometimes a day off during the week. I can’t seem to be able to start a business as a side hustle cause most of the side hustles I can think will demand my presence at least for the first few months and I don’t really have that. My girlfriend is pregnant, I really wanna keep it but she’s not ready, I’m not even sure I’m ready. The only way she can keep it is if I’m going to get married to her before the pregnancy starts showing and I’m as confused as hell cos I don’t know if I’m ready. She has always been vocal of her plans to japa. Now that brings me to the idea of Japa too. I mean, I cannot deny that fact that I’m scared of the whole japa stuff cos I don’t know what to expect. Economy doesn’t even allow you save as much as you should. Everything’s just seems very scattered.
Pls I need adult minds to advise me on what I can do. 1. Do I start a business, what kinda business can I start with at least 2M that will not require my full presence? 2. Do I start to plan my japa through the study route and just face my fears 3. Should I insist on keeping the pregnancy and hope that things start making sense? This means I have to get married tho.
Thank y’all.
if you're earning 400k a month in Nigeria why do you want to japa to a place where you're a 4th class citizen and working as an unskilled worker and earning just a fraction more?
You're either writing this crap for attention or you're a very big fool at 31!
You won't realise how utterly wasted and hopeless Nigeria is until you watch a video like this and read comments from idiotic, ignorant idiots in Nairaland
SWATMan: Bigot i didn't make a mistake reading your mention. You were just spot on. Xenophobic slowpoke.
your mistake was trying to pretend your heritage were of the educated class. Bro, your patriarchy is marked with pirating goods from DVDs to paracetamol.
Oh...and xenophobia is hatred of foreigners or aliens and never used to describe apathy between compatriots
SWATMan: Wealth and privilege can insulate ones experience of how the world works and obscure the realities of marginalization. There is also some scientific evidence that wealth and privilege can reduce empathy and compassion for those less fortunate.
The combination of assuming everyone has the same rights, privileges and opportunities, ignorance of differential treatment/exclusion/discrimination, victim blaming and a belief that hard work is always a path to success makes it easier to justify the differences between people and focus energy on policy that helps those who are perceived as helping themselves or contributing to society (and ignore those who are not).
Before you argue about poor people who made it big - there is a big difference between temporary poverty and marginalization, so I’m not talking about the rags to riches crowd. Marginalization can be crippling, learn about it before you judge people it has nothing to do with tribe or region. When you are poor you become powerless and when you are powerless, you become desperate! This is psychology and not social studies.⁷
Successful people are not better, they don’t work harder, and they are not more deserving, they are just lucky.
bro, pass the joint or go back to the usual crack your brain is used to.
Whatever you do, just stop experimenting with strange weed.
Triplerg: So if you want to request for the army, are you going to write the president?
that's the point. YOU CAN'T LEGALLY OR CONSTITUTIONALLY REQUEST FOR THE ARMY TO PROTECT YOU!!!
only the president can't deploy the army by the approval of the National Assembly. That's the law.
We can't be zombified by the use and reuse of illegality to the extent we openly normalise it because people are online trying hard to twist normalcy.
The army are now arresting citizens in civil dispute or criminal complaints..... arguments like these are helpful to steer us back to constitutionalism.
