Collect the money but think less about the money... rather focus on ur tech skills and how to get a job with it. Also think of other business ideas that u can use the 7m for apart from what u said.
Despite being a very hilarious display of drama, he tried nevertheless.. at least it will count for something towards d boss being forgiven and d boss doing more for him.
Glimpsetv: One of Portable’s signees has taken to social media in tears, emotionally pleading with Fuji musician Saheed Osupa to release his boss, Portable.
Controversial street-hop artist, Habeeb Okikilola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, was recently arrested by operatives of the Kwara State Police Command following a petition filed by veteran Fuji musician, Okunola Saheed, widely known as Osupa.
According to a statement released by the command’s spokesperson, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, the petition accused Portable of several serious offences, including criminal defamation, threats to life, incitement, character assassination, conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace, and the use of abusive and offensive language.
“In view of the weight of these allegations and the supporting evidence presented, the command secured a valid arrest warrant from a Magistrate Court sitting in Ilorin. Acting on this warrant, operatives from the command proceeded to Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Sunday, 13th April 2025, where the suspect was apprehended at about 19:25hrs. He was immediately brought to Ilorin for further investigations.
“Upon his arrival, the suspect’s statement was taken in the presence of legal representatives from both parties,” the statement read. In a dramatic turn of events, one of Portable’s loyal signees took to social media in an emotional video, pleading with Saheed Osupa to have mercy and release his boss. The video has since gone viral, attracting a wave of reactions from fans and followers alike. Watch the trending video and share your thoughts in the comments.
AGManuel: Bro you understand my predicament, how person wan take marry like this when woman de quick tire person😭
What u are refusing to realise is no matter who u marry, u will get "tired", "used to her"..:it will be left to u both to remain committed to spicing things up from time to time. U want to leave someone who gives u peace for the unknown? U think sex is d most important thing in marriage.. this is why it is always good for young people to pick wisdom and understanding of life from older people.
As i said b4, u are extremely jobless and very bored..u are just out there to waste people's time. Of course i don't believe u mean what u wrote, that would be extremely dumb of an human that went to school... Just keep catching cruise
YoungestPapa: Take note: it's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.
All I've said in this thread are the facts. No falsehood or half-truth. The approach should be to engage me, and investigate if what I have said is true, not to dismiss it.
I'm also not just a novice on topics like this...I have a PhD in Geomorphology from the University of Port Harcourt.
But even the 13%, how has it benefitted the common Niger Delta man in any way?
TooMuchStuff: They deserve to go Mele Kyari was almost the EMIR OF NNPC.. Northernizing and Islamizing the Corporation. HausafulaniKanuri Muslims dotted every corner of the HQTRS. Hausa Language became the Lingua franca
Meanwhile our people of Niger Delta region are suffering like orphans in the midst of their own oil and gas resources while BUA Dangote , MRS 🛢 are feasing in Billions of dollars along the value chain despite being from from barren desert Kano state.
We want Resource Control . 13% derivation is not enough. We want New bill of 50% or more 🤔
steeltrust: that doesn’t mean the industry don’t have potentials Fintech is saturated and everybody is almost doing same thing from crypto to fiat all the same thing
I’m coming with my edtech Don’t worry You will see some thing you’ve never seen before
Its not about coming with something never seen(?). It's about creating a viable & sustainable business.. a business that has demand for its services & profitable and that can be profitable in the long run
othermen: She was right to condemn child labour. She was right to protect the child. She was right to hold her accountable. She was right to raise awareness.
You and others are not right to bully her. Calling her cruel and uncompassionate. And Adetoun was not right to cave in, as she did.
A child should not be waking up at 3AM to sweep an estate when they should be resting and preparing for school. The mother continues to give birth, and she must care for all of them in this crazy economy. Enough to rebuke her for being selfish and not having parental responsibility. She can’t possibly provide for the four children: education, healthcare or stable upbringing, -and the children are put in the cycle of poverty.
But it doesn’t matter to us all. And it never matters to us all, unless it’s an opportunity for us to proclaim ourselves some form of messiah. Or it will matter to some of you, only because you will fancy your parents or parents struggles in that woman. So, this will not merely seem to you to be detached from reality, but an attack on your ideals or parents. And you will say, how can one not sympathize with the poor mother? You were successful, but millions more have failed just coz of this shared hardship you perpetuate and justify. You became stronger and wiser, but millions more were permanently harmed and lost their future. Your experience of the struggle does not drive an iota of awareness to share an advocacy for the children. Rather, than pointing out the gaps in the woman’s behavior and having an outrage for the systemic issues that have caused hardship, your sense is wired to think ‘hardship is a rite of passage, because from it, I gained my resilience.’ It’s this mindset that creates an ideology that does not resist systemic issues. And one must not question or challenge an oppressive system that is perpetuated by ignorance just because she is a poor woman. A child helping a struggling parent in small ways is one thing, but you all think waking up at 3 AM for labour is right. You don’t care what sleep deprivation could do to her physical health, her concentration. a girl that is already malnourished must be further exposed to harsh conditions, and when she is exhausted, to poor academic performance, to limits in future opportunities.
So he tells us that the child is working out of economic necessity. And that the mother needs compassion.
So others will argue that the focus of the video, should have been on the economic hardship that people have to endure. Instead, Adetoun was just a villain, an oppressor, as she could have engaged the cleaner/mother privately and not publicly shame her, or be condescending in her approach. she had not cared about the dignity of the mother, and she only humiliated her, rather than empower her.
Adetoun capitulated coz the validation from social media matters. That was why she did the video in the first place. Not because she gave a damn about the child’s life. Than the aftermath. The crying and kneeling and wailing. All in the very manipulative lots.
Folks pushed her to reveal her performative righteousness.
And because validation matters to her- she rewarded this woman after the backlash. It alleviated her immediate struggles.
The country also shows its false outrage, as though her situation is not the lots of millions of people in the country. We pretend that suffering is not the norm for the lots. Or that the mother was justified.
Adetoun received more outrage than we give to those who orchestrated policies that have entrenched sufferings.
Now, there are other struggling women who have not made their children work, but remain unseen and unsupported. And nobody cares about them. They were unsure about the tactics of giving birth to many kids, then using those kids or maiming them to generate some form of income on the streets.
Now, Onakoya, who is another person wired for validation sees an opportunity, to enrich his own social capital. And yes, I must thank him. Someone else can cater for the 3 siblings or for the children and their mothers that now sweep and wash the gutters that his mother washed, the children from the north that are your domestic servants, or the children I won’t see tomorrow, for they already died in hazardous child labour.
There are several children, women in this country, with much worse fate. But they are not on social media or the source of any social capital: Mr Onakoya and all of us can’t care as there’s no social recognition. Performative altruism which doesn’t fix the individual choices/ structural conditions that have birth the situation or made suffering into some spectacle is what we are enthralled. A miracle, a divine intervention.
What have I ever done to contribute to the alleviation of situations of people?? Nothing superficial and performative.
And you would find folks out there creating awareness and bringing about genuine changes for thousands of lives. Even saving them from death. Not just jumping in spaces, and using these vulnerable lots to enrich themselves.
Oga nigeria is a poor country (per population) and upon our poor cash flow, politicians still steal a lot.
Xannadu: So what's your reasoning here, the state resources are too small for politicians to embezzle so it doesn't matter? The fact that you even think Nigeria is a poor country shows just how little you know about the economy. Not to even consider the fact that you think all that goes into a politician's pocket comes only from the IGR, completely ignoring the billions of dollars they borrow yearly for "infrastructural developments" we never get to see after their tenure ends.
Namaster: People thought a war between Russia and Ukraine would be a walk in the park for Russia. Same people now think a war between the US and Europe would be a walk in the park for US.
FOOLS don't understand war.
They think the STRONGER side will gain a flawless victory. But the reality is DIFFERENT. It's more BRUTAL than that.
In war, there is NO winner. EVERYBODY loses.
The "winner" is just the side that LOSES LESS.
And when you realise that loses are counted in HUMAN LIVES, you'll realise that all war is MADNESS!
Ibkay32: I have called one of my friends which is a police officer
To do.what exactly ? As for keeping money with ur mom.. it is not a terrible thing.. it is ur mum... but then i expect that she step in to talk to ur sister to keep u in her house as u don't have anywhere to go and it was ur money that she used in assisting her... For God sake, even if this money is not in the picture, wouldnt ur sister be considerate of ur having nowhere to go, wouldnt ur múm appeal to them on ur behalf?
Anyways, leave all of that behind.. just imagine u didnt have any savings anywhere and they asked u to leave-- what would u do? Beg them, go to leave with ur mum, squat with a friend, cousin? Just think like that and stop all the fighting..Just trust God for a way out and move on.
michlins: you analyzed the situation surgically. The pains of today are much but if this path is sustained, the future will be better. I didn't support tinubu from day one but the gains of his reforms are becoming very obvious daily
And that's d problem again... what is the govt doing to increase exports, increase local production and u say the pains will lead to gains... no they are just pains
Imagine your eldest brother mismanaging the family business to the point of zero revenue and then he starts to borrow money to sustain the family and then after a while the next eldest brother takes over and he stops all borrowing but still doesnt bring up the business to revenue generation and then u start praising him for ending borrowing. . Does that make sense?
Starting from the frist principle, what happened that buhari had to be borrowing money? U preside over a gross reduction in fx revenue allowing oil production to drop from 2.1mbd to 1mbpd .. what is then d actual solution ? -is it not to increase oil production and other fx revenues by all means?
For some Nigerians anyone who gives them a bag of rice at Christmas and a ram at Eid is a good leader....hence why most politicians do targeted charity to be in the good books of those Nigerians
Some measure performance by how much food they have in their belly.....if they become hungry the leader is bad
Some measure performance based on their own expectation...not necessarily what the leader promised in their manifesto...the messiah complex politicians appeal to them...only to be disappointed when reality hits
In Buhari's time Nigerians were better off or so it seems but that is because Buhari was borrowing money from anyone who is willing to offer it. Nigeria was practically eating its future.....China had to stop borrowing us as it was becoming clear that we would not be able to pay back at the rate we were going...naira was artificially inflated the FG was supporting the exchange rate at over $2 billion per month, fuel subsidy was taking another chunk of money that we did not have.....when Buhari saw that it was unstainable he presented the 2023 budget where fuel subsidy was meant to end in June 2023.
Tinubu came in and embarked on economic reform from day one...announcing that the fuel subsidy is gone and will not come back in form of budget padding...naira was floated to show its true value....Nigeria started saving money by cutting waste...Dangote refinery brings competition to NNPC PLC. Remember Goodluck Jonathan approved 5 private refineries as president none of which was built because of NNPC monopoly...that story may change with Dangote refinery coming online...NNPC has no choice than to refurbish its own refineries that has been dead for decades....
Having said this the benefits of Tinubu's reforms are yet to be fully realised...infact the pain of the reforms is all but clear to see....in the long run the benefits will come but at the moment it is painful...
Labour unions that should advocate for salaries to match the pains seem to be nothing but politicians....this reform isn't well communicated and salaries and wages are lagging behind...
Truth is Akpabio made a subtle pass at her.. but then she is used to that and it wasnt a problem for her... She only found it convenient to bring it up now thinking it will overshadow her unruliness
Lol.. u have come again with conspiracies.. Can u not clearly see that CBN has stopped defending the naira beyond its capacity ? And thats why the rate has gone up..
youngsum: akwanga L.G.A. nassarawa state middle belt 24yrs
Oh.. nassarawa.. u can move to d state capital or to Abuja and do the same teaching for a far better pay. U can also go into farming in your current village and earn more.
Yes debt service is in usd and is a high percentage of revenue.. but that exactly is the problem .. after the debt servicing what we have left is not so much for imports of which we import a lot.. and thats what causes pressure on the rate... if u dont tackle the fundamentals of increasing usd inflow or reducing usd outflow, the rate will do that for you by going upwards, consequently reducing the demand
galserv: Really All these stories/unncecessary research just because you are NOT aware of the concept called DEBT SERVICE
Debt service takes 60% of our revenue and is a major component of our budget. Do you think we pay it in Naira
@youngsum Which town and state if we may ask and hw old are you.. do you know it's actually illegal for your school to pay you less than the minimum wage for a full time job.. In any case, u need to find something else to do or something to add to what you are doing... 23k was a poor salary even b4 buhari became president.
You are a jocular person... plenty knowledge but wrong application.. pple are telling u d reserves are dropping daily, u are talking about FPI. Oya now let them continue burning $1.3bn per month and lets see if we will have any reserves in 2 years time
DeLaRue: A lot of 'foreign investment' has been flocking into Nigerian Stocks, treasury etc. That is where the 'excess' dollars is coming from.
Have you noticed that share prices have been rising strongly on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. That's because there is a rush of foreign money buying up these shares.
That's the positive side.
The negative side is that many of the foreign investors have already made 20% or more profit on the shares they bought, but that profit increases even faster the more the naira gains value.
The fear of the CBN is that if the naira gains value too fast, for instance it drops to 1,380 or 1,400 too fast, many of the foreign investor may sell up because of their massive profit and move their money out of the country too soon.
Imagine you're an investment company in the UK, and in a typical year, you probably make 10 - 15% return.
You see an opportunity in a faster growing economy (Nigeria) where over the course of a year, you can make a 25 - 30% return if you buy Nigerian shares. And so, you invest in Nigerian shares. But within 3 months, you already have 20% profit on the shares (somethingyou can only dream of in the UK). Then the naira gains value sharply ( to about N1,350) - this naira gain will suddenly increase your profit to may 40%. In that scenario, you'll be tempted to sell those shares, take your 40% profit, and withdraw your dollars back to your country laughing all the way to the bank.
If most of the foreign investors react in a similar way, and bank their profits, that means dollar outflow will spike massively. The CBN will have to provide all that dollar immediately, thus putting fresh pressure on the naira.
In order to avoid such instability, the CBN does step into the market from time to time to buy excess dollars in order to ensure that the naira doesn't gain value too quickly.
It is like any market. For example, if there are too many tomatoes (Dollars) in a market that buyers can buy, the price of tomatoes will fall drastically. However if a big buyer (CBN) comes in and buys up most of the excess tomatoes, the price of tomatoes will rise and stabilise close to its usual price.
So, while the ordinary man on the street want naira to gain fast, CBN prefers a slow and steady process. Buying excess dollars is a way of ensuring the naira doesn't gain value too fast.
It is a complex subject, but I hope my explanation helps a little bit.
It is not even 2bn they spent but $2bn NET (negative)meaning they could have had a total inflow of 6bn from crude & new loans and then sold $8bn in the fx market
Blazetrailer: Guy, go and check statistics first before coming here to spew rubbish. A simple check online would have hinted your brain you were about to tell lies on a public forum..... they could not have supplied $11bn in December alone and even in 2025 records shows they have spent nearly $2bn already in pushing forex into the markets in Nigeria......so.what are you on about??
So the daily drop(not singular drop o) in foreign reserves- what caused it? U r just a jocular joker
DeLaRue: The naira is not even being subsidised now.
Some of this so-called experts don't even know what is going on.
1. During Mr Buhari's regime, the CBN was supplying about 65% of the total dollars sold in Nigeria.
2. As of today, that figure has fallen to around 3%!
3. Since December up to now, the CBN has been stepping in to buy dollars because more dollars have been coming into Nigeria than the market can absorb. If the CBN has not been buying the excess dollars, the naira may have appreciated too fast, may be to N1400. That would have created a new period of instability. The CBN prefers the naira to gain or lose very slowly. That is what businesses and investors prefer. They don't want drama.
That situation can change but for about 3 months now, the net contribution of the CBN to the forex market is only about 3%.
That is a fantastic development.
The Naira is currently operating on its own based on market forces, with little to no net contribution from the CBN.
This is very wrong... You cannot be counselling a young child who cannot understand consequences. Also, u shouldnt throw away the dirty bath water along with the baby.. remove extremes of discipline but discipline must remain a culture! The commisioner who is talking is himself a product of cane discipline. Some lawyer should sue the government already b4 we start having the gross unruliness of the students in USA & UK
GafarAjibola: Lagos State Government say it still does not tolerate corporal punishment in public schools and has upheld counselling as an effective correctional measure.
The state Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Jamiu Alli-Balogun, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday.
Alli-Balogun said that flogging students for indiscipline and other forms of misbehaviour remained prohibited.
He said that the aim was to guard against inflicting injury on students, the fainting of students, or even the death of any student due to flogging by a class teacher.
Will u keep quiet.. ordinary cow, u are ululating.. show.that respect to the human beings around you first
Omoawoke: This is actually a crime in many civilized societies
It is true we eat animals, but torturing an animal and being cruel to them is a no no.
Killing them alone for food alone is tough, but pls do it with respect. Respect animals because they have feelings too. You can’t treat animals with cruelty and expect Mother Earth to be good to you, and yet, na una dey go church and mosque pass… wicked souls
