Nothing wey dem no renovate for here that year

semid4lyfe:
E don dey too much, and its sickening. GEJ built 12 new universities. None was named after him. Not even the one in his state, Bayelsa.

Even Buhari with all his sycophantic appointees did not resort to this megalomaniac behaviour of naming everything after himself.



I doubt you not.



Our National teams, especially the Super Eagles na my own clubside. When match wan start and dem play Arise O Compatriots, I go stand in front of TV and bellow the anthem with pride and fervour but now I no dey even bother. PBAT don kill that ginger for my bodi with his ill-advised change of the anthem.

The fact that the national anthem is an old national anthem that symbolizes the old colonial years does not help matters.

I still don't understand the reason for ditching the "Arise O compatriot" anthem. I think he just feels he can do and undo & nobody can check him..

Emaprince:
That CCTV footage might not see the light of day

That one sef dey. Na naija we dey, do dem fit talk say the CCTV camera was faulty like Lekki toll gate own in 2020.

Air Peace management has debunked Oshiomole's lies.

They have requested that Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to release the CCTV footage from when Oshiomole entered the airport to prove that he was indeed late and was lying shamelessly to save face in his account of the event.

They also debunk his claim that air peace was extorting passengers.

iamoyindamola:
When I say I don’t know the national anthem, that’s because the connection is not there
Overall I don’t think the youths are emotionally attached to this country like before
The only attachment was the anthem and he changed it to the one we weren’t use to

Na true Sha, na everyday the country dey tire person. He now still went ahead to change the national anthem wey dey make people dey ginger once in a while like when the national football team wants to play.

semid4lyfe:
Whoever succeeds PBAT should make it a priority to reinstate the Arise O Compatriots anthem. Hardly anyone knows or connects with Nigeria We Hail Thee. It's a relic of our colonial past and does not resonate with the generality of Nigerians.

Also, national monuments, institutions, roads, and other public assets that have been renamed after the president should be returned to their original names. Governance should not be reduced to sycophancy and self-glorification.

Leadership is about service and not about forcing your name into the history books. Do your best, leave your mark through your works, and let the people decide your legacy.

That's what U get when u have somoene like Tinubu in power. If person talk now, the voltrons will come out in full force to defend & justify the self-servicing and sycophancy.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Elder has already told us that he wants Atiku to win because it would favor him.

Since that day, I always skip his political comments. Both of us are struggling for different things.

The dollar equivalent is the same. It's not Burna's fault that the naira equivalent amounted to Billi Billi[/color]

Wetin I hate na hypocrisy and gaslighting. Person wey Don tell us say reaosn he's supporting a candidate is for his selfish reason will now want to be gaslighting others to vote for same man even when we don't share the same selfish agenda.

Me wey I look forward to seeing a prudent and conservative president to manage the affairs of the country not someone who will spend 1 billion for real governance and steal 50 billion via awarding inflated contracts, rewarding loyalists with our commonwealth and even awarding juicy contracts to SPVs ; Shey na me he go Wan come dey gaslight to vote for his prefrred candidate at all cost?

And the moment u say know ; dem go begin do yeye projections.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]He said no one should be allowed to drive a car of 500 million

The bullet proof 2024 Land Cruiser or Lexus wey him favorite politicians dey cruise, pass 500 meter

E no question them. Na Common person wey wan flex himself him dey vex for.


Misplaced emotions [/color]

Na Atiku supporter like our beloved Elder here. He no get problem with all the assets his fave has ammased while in public service/occupying political post, na Burna wey hustle for him Raba through sheer hard work he Wan dey police how he spends his money.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]"Anyone should be allowed"



Who be the class captain wey suppose stop people?

Is this guy a grajet at all?[/color]

His grajet is definitely questionable. Maybe he thinks we are in a communist state where the government can decide who earns what and how the resources are shared amongst the populace.

How do u feel inclined to tell BurnaBoy what to buy and what not to buy with his own hard earned money? 🤷‍♂️

This is a witness to the Oshiomole show of shame.

So apparently Oshiomole was late but pissed they didn't delay the flight for him like they regularly do.

Cc: Gloriousgbola

iamoyindamola:
Why do they hate air peace

Because they usually cancel/reschedule flights every now and then.

I was a victim the last time and I Vow not to use them again provided there are other airlines going the same route. A flight that was supposed to be for 11.30am, we didn't fly until around 6pm in the evening. They wasted my whole day sitting in the airport

GloriousGbola:
Last year I had a flight to Abuja. Ibom air. I got to the airport just a few minutes late and they told me check in was closed and there was nothing they could do

So I don't know where these stories of airlines waiting for passengers are coming from.

You said u got to the airport late. Oshiomole said he got there early.

These are two different scenarios.

I am telling u that for a flight scheduled for 1.30pm,I have sat in the plane and people joined us around 1.35 pm before they close the door. This is my own experience.

I have sat severally in the lounge waiting for my flight and I hear announcer calling out names of passengers expected on a flight that is already loading and almost taking off.

Oshiomole is definitely lying he got there early

KingTom:
6:05 is very late for a 6:30 flight abeg, make that Auchi man go siddon jor. The werey feel say plane get conductor wey go dey shout people names

Air Peace don't even keep to flight time sef. They normally send people's names to the announcers' desk where they will be mentioning their names and their flight number to make it to the departure lounge ASAP.

He just wants to play on the hate people have for Air Peace to get public sympathy. He knows he messed up.

iamoyindamola:
That midget is lying shamelessly
But he should continue

The guy just find story cook to rubbish the airline knowing that different members of the public have an ax to grind with air peace ni.

Anybody that travels through our local airlines will confirm how most times the airlines wait for as many passengers as possible. Most of the times when we are already seated on the plane, u will see people running to board.

If he's accusing them of canceling and rescheduling flights anyhow, I won't doubt him but this one ehn..... He just prepare better zobo

GloriousGbola:
If his story is true people are going to start corroborating with their own experiences. Unfortunately as a naija matter it is perfectly possible that people in the airline are racketeering and selling tickets at inflated prices.

If this story is true keh?

That is obviously a blatant lie. Nigerian airlines that will be announcing people's name even on the public address system even after the flight time has reached. What's the motivation for them to deny him entry when he came early as claimed?

Why will they say they won't allow a senator to board when he's not late?

Oshiomole claimed he got to the gate at 6.05am for a flight that was scheduled for 6.30am and he was denied entry due to lateness.

Ọmọ!

This is the first time I will hear someone claim he was prevented from.boarding even when he came earlier than the flight time. To think this is even a local flight that airlines always wait and wait for late passengers before leaving. Na wa o.

Ibime:
There is no company in Nigeria that can prevent theft or grift of at least 10% of its Working Capital

Of course, u can't prevent it 100% but u can mitigate the loss. That's why risk management involves both prevention and control; u do everything possible to management the risk situation.

Amoto94:
So the employees at Credit Suisse and Oceanic Bank no get guarantors, and no risk management system was put in place to prevent sabotage?
You go dribble yourself past corner flag like Pius Ikedia without delivering a point. No be everything be argument

Ask those that know, they will tell u Oceanic bank failed due to failure of/poor risk management.

No be everything be agenda.

Theflint1:
Ideally it should go beyond an apology.

They will find a way to let him off the hook. Since the day Police PRO don talk say MC Oluomo was joking when he threatened voters ahead of election day, I don know say people will always get away with anything under this government provided they lean towards the "right" direction.

GloriousGbola:
good thing is this was caught on camera

serious falling of hand by osho. no excuse for this

Lolz. 😂

Being caught on camera doesn't change anything. Absolutely nothing will happen to Oshiomole; that's not even if Air Peace will.be asked to apologize to him sef

Amigoss:
Na only political class fit do Wetin osho do so and will go Scot free,politicians are mirror of our society una...

Honestly, it's only a politician that belongs to the ruling party that can try it and get away with it without consequence.

Any other person would've been removed from the premises and most likely prevented from flying anytime soon

KingTom:
I just saw the video on FP now, my God!!! Very distasteful

He doesn't even care if he prevents others from going about their lawful business. If a foreigner is there trying to board connecting flights, that one will just be looking at him like What's wrong with this man.

Emaprince:
Its more unfortunate that we have fellow Nigerians or Lovers of Nigeria who spend their lives singing praises for these rascals.

Guess what? His Special assistant on media is most likely somewhere now drafting his own account of what happened and he will somehow find a way to justify that Hooligan behaviour he displayed when the press release is out.

KingTom:
Maybe to crave our indulgence, they dare not speak his name for fear of the unknown, but at least they've let the country know. But omo that's very distasteful from Oshiomole, that character is as ugly as his face tueh!

Imagine he even locked the exit gate and prevented other passengers from boarding their respective flights.

Everybody go say their father is the best in the world, but this Oshiomole sef na person papa o

[quote author=Emaprince post=135708217][/quote]It's unfortunate that these are the rascals expected to make laws which we are all to obey.

KingTom:
Disgraceful but I don't blame them, they know the country they're in

What's the essence of writing a protest letter if they can't name him?

Adams Oshiomole disrupted activities at Air Peace Terminal at MM1 this morning after missing his flight.

See Air Peace writing a protest letter and not being bold enough to name the "prominent politician" 🤷‍♂️

Amoto94:
I run a business and some employees stole x amount of equipment and products during foundation stage and when the business become operational, yet we are meant to believe these actions aren't sabotage. How many businesses have closed down due to acts of sabotage like those. Credit Suisse had to be rescued by another sometimes last year or so due to employees sabotaging the bank to its knees, what about Oceanic Bank?

If ur business close down because someone stole from ur company , then u are a bad business manager.

Business managers put up measures to control risk of fraud. The simplest of ways in which companies protect themselves is to require employees at the point of onboarding to provide verifiable guarantors who have good standing in the society.

Business owners protect themselves by having a very sound internal control/audit system in place. They also take insurances like Dangote and most banks do . They even take insurances on key officers and directors for their actions and inactions that may cost the company huge sums of money . If the business decides to have a poor risk management system in place, then that's a shame.

We are talking about multinational businesses here, not karakata Nigerian enterprises.

This is ur sabotage talk, na u know why u dey insist on it sha.

LordAdam16:
Fraud happens everywhere.

UPS employee in Canada stealing $1.3m in Apple products.
https://tech.yahoo.com/business/articles/ups-worker-accused-nabbing-1-075010674.html

UPS employee in the US stealing 171 iPhones.
https://weartv.com/news/local/report-pensacola-man-stole-171-iphones-while-working-as-ups-delivery-driver%20

Still, fraud is an act of sabotage by definition.
The frequency, prevalence, and tendency of Nigerians to excuse it in private settings makes it a significantly bigger issue in Nigeria than it is in the first world.

Insurance policies have payout limits.
Premiums rise after high rates of incidents.
Firms will flat out terminate coverage when the math stops mathing.

4B haul for one ring in the world's poverty capital.
You can make a lot of correct points about it, but you can't say it is not sabotage.

-Lord

Baba I no make that post to argue semantics. There's a context to the "normal fraud" phrase I used there.

I was clearly addressing the point he was trying to force that someone most likely wanted Dangote business to fail so that's whey they stole N4 billion. That is obviously not the case. The fraudulent staff just want to steal like most fraudulent staff do and move on with their largesse undetected.

It is not new to me, I have seen files of bank staff who stole N500m , N120m , etc in this same Nigeria. That is where I am coming from; U may think N4 billion is a whole lot but that is likely not up to anything in Dangote's sales figures

Theflint1:
If you deep it, everything is in fact sabotage.

Amaka wey no give me opueh sabotage my konji

Lolz

It is well; everybody with their own agenda.

Na since that day he claimed it was sabotage that made PH refinery not meets its start-up deadline ; he's been trying to link every news he comes across with Sabotage

afrodoc2:
Bankers normally divert funds. Drivers normally run away with company goods. Site managers normally sell off construction materials.
We however expect this society that has people from all works of life normally and fraudulently obtaining whatever they can get their hands on to produce politicians that will not normally embezzle public funds.

It is a makanaki something.

It is actually a risk that is not peculiar to Nigeria.

If u are involved in project finance and u want to access credit from international lenders like IFC, they will require you to get yourself protected by getting insurances that will cater for losses that may be attributable to fraud or dishonest act of ur employees. It doesn't matter whether u are located in Africa or Asia.

That being said, I am not saying the rate at which people embezzle and misappropriate funds in this part of the world is normal. That is a totally different discussion entirely which I didn't intend to have with my response to Amoto. I was just clearing him that he's just forcing the sabotage angle and that he's made it a hill upon which he will build his mosque(Pun intended)
