[color=royalblue]You haven't said what transpired, before concluding he has anger issues.

Lagosians are very quick to label the one with the more expensive car as "Wicked" or "at fault", whenever there's an accident between a rich and a poor man.

One day, a bus hit me from behind and spoilt my bumper. Before I'll come down, this guy reversed and ran away

If I pursue am, and destroy his taillamp, people will automatically say I have anger issues.[/color]

Can u please port out the very place he said he was at fault for the incident that resulted in his car being bashed ?

E be like say na wetin Dey ur mind u Dey respond to, not what i posted

Just curious — were you driving in Lagos 14 years ago? And have you ever filed a claim with any insurance company in Nigeria?

How many Danfo drivers have insurers?

Also, you’re conflating having an issue with a regular person and having one with a Danfo driver. Have you ever had an incident with a Danfo driver before? Do you really understand how Danfo drivers function at all? I bet if your colleague had the same experience, you’d be saying something completely different right now.

I’ve issues with Danfo drivers before , maybe not 14 years ( I don’t know the relevance what the relatives of the time line is ) . I know how annoying unruly they can be .

I understand most people will resort to fight them following an accident they caused due to their negligent and reckless driving but we all know that only serves one purpose ; FOR YOU TO RELEASE YOUR ANGER AND HAVE FAUX SENSE OF JUSTICE . It’s not going physical with them will make ur vehicle get fixed .

No matter u look at it ; smashing a danfo driver’s vehicle after an accident he caused is an indication one has anger issues.

I’m sure u know people of the clergy are held to tow societal standards ; the legal standard and the moral standard . A clergy is expected to be morally upright and not practising an-eye-for-an-eye the moment his vehicle gets hit by a reckless driver . That same day , it was Christian’s , Muslims and AtR worshippers that were calling him out simultaneously online because he failed the moral standard test . He even ended up injuring innocent passengers that may have been his potential church members in his fit of rage

diggz:
I’m sorry, but I’m not going to judge him based on that random incident with the Danfo driver. Anyone who lives in Lagos understands just how crazy these Danfo guys can be sometimes.

Personally, I’ve had two separate incidents with them in the past. The first was on Ilupeju Road, heading toward Onipan bus stop to connect to Ikorodu Road. The second was in Gbagada, on one of those inner streets near the general hospital — the ones that lead toward Gbagada Market and Deeper Life Church. It’s the same route you’d take to the Third Mainland Bridge if you turn right once you join the main road instead of heading left toward the Market/Deeper Life Church. Different drivers, but the same kind of recklessness.

In both cases, they were trying to overtake me on narrow roads barely wide enough for two cars going in opposite directions — and during traffic, no less. My only options were to either hold my lane and risk having my car damaged or give way and risk being pushed into a gutter. I warned both drivers multiple times that they were about to hit my car and force me off the road, but they completely ignored me. And sure enough, both of them hit my vehicle.

The most frustrating part? While I was warning them, they were insulting me — shouting “iya e” and all kinds of nonsense — right up until they caused the damage. And we all know Danfo drivers don’t fix anything. That’s how it was back then, and these incidents happened roughly 13 or 14 years ago.

The driver in Ilupeju got a few dirty slaps from me — and an army guy sitting beside him even had to beg on his behalf. The one in Gbagada? He walked away with a broken nose and blood everywhere — he thought he could damage my car and beat me up. In the end, I took financial losses both times, having to pay out of pocket to repair the damage.

So, trust me — I get it. I can relate to whatever must have happened between him and that Danfo driver. Na man of God, but na human being first.

That said, I’m not excusing the possibility that he has a temper.

What you’ve described is what almost everyone who drives in Lagos experiences .

Your reaction in both instances shows u actually a very high temper (not like I’m judging u or blaming u for it tho ) .

So it doesn’t change the fact that I said Paul Adefarasin has a very high temper/anger issues . The last ish he had with the dango driver actually led to some of the passengers in the vehicle having cut on the body from the shattered windscreen glass .

If most Nigerian road users buy valid insurance for their vehicles , they won’t need to carry spanner to fight a negligent motorist each time they cause damage to their vehicles through reckless driving . One of my colleagues was involved in an accident last two weeks on his way to work , the other guy who was at fault came down of his car to appeal to him that his insurers will fix the car . Tho my colleague was very angry, he listened to the voice of reason since what he wants is for his car to be fixed eventually . As at last week they’ve fixed his car and I’m sure he would’ve collected the car from the repairs shop this weekend .

Ibeme:
It wasn't a firearm, it was a taser (stun gun) and he didn't point it at anybody. He is 100% correct.

He brought it out for his own safety and I don't blame him. In this Nigeria where killers and kidnappers plenty, who will be comfortable with someone tailing them on the road for God knows how long and won't think of doing something for their safety. Back in those days when we see a car following us for a long time, my Dad will drive into Army camp, Police camp, University Campus or Governor street where he knows armed forces abound to shake them off. So it is a normal reaction for Adefarasin to bring out his taser if someone is tailing him

Nobody was trailing him . He had a security escort driving my his side in the video . Nobody is going to kidnap him on one of the most secured roads in Ikoyi while he’s driving with a security escort .

Maybe the it was indeed a taser gun but one thing that is certain is ; Paul Adefarasin has anger issues .

This is not his first time ; there was a reported incident in December 2023 when he smashed a Danfo bus windscreen out of anger when the danfo bashed his car. Passengers of the bus who recognized him called him out back then; they mentioned how infuriated he was smashing the vehicle’s windscreen after he jumped down from his SUV.

I think the man needs to go for anger management classes . You can not claim to be a religious leader and u are out there smashing windscreens in road rages and brandishing taser gun at luxury car blogger for taking videos of ur SUV in a posh area on the island .

raumdeuter:
Given how unstructured Nigeria is and the potential for accident, community service might be too lenient for him
There was a time Fashola said before they can regain driving privileges he has to get a psychiatrist evaluation

In this case the police might impound the car and ask him to come bail it

This is in the same Ibadan where a man just lost his son due to police chase from one way

I was just watching the video and saw the car on opposite side, I initially though the other side was not yet open but I saw cars using the other way, but he is too sharp

It’s not everybody driving in Nigeria that has valid drivers license . So saying a driver needs to go for psychiatric evaluation before he can regain his driving privileges won’t even work because he doesn’t need any driving privilege to drive a car ; he only needs to be ready to bribe Olopa anytime he’s stopped for driving without license .

The best way to deal with such reckless driver is to arrest him and sentence him at a mobile court almost immediately

The whole idea of terrorists “repenting” is a dumb and reckless move . It is counter productive but Sheikh Gunmi and his followers think it is the best decision to take 🤦‍♂️.

Let's wait for response if any will come out

This is not what I’m referring to . This kind of post, EFCC will only take it as cruise since it’s coming from an individual tagging them on social media .

But instead make the news papers like Punch , Vanguard , Daily trust , etc and TV stations like Channels , Arise Tv , News Central , etc do investigative story on the matter make dem give am wider coverage . They should people know
How dem Dey fritter our common resources away all in the name of budgeting .

— Hon. Jesugbemi (@Hon_Jesugbemi) June 6, 2025

think arrest and sentencing the driver to months of community service/labor would be a perfect punishment for such individual to deter him and others from taking such reckless decision in the future .

It’s always people who think they are wise and smart that always do that nonsense . He probably stays close to the junction he entered the one-way and doesn’t want to drive few hundreds of meters to make a u-turn to be on the right side of the road

raumdeuter:
He is not completely wrong, The fervor which a society follows religion is directly related to how poor they are.
You think your problems in life was not "ordinary eyes" which can be solved by following a religious leader

There is an ecosystem that feeds this, when you are doing well at your career the churches will approach you and talk you into making you a minister or Pastor because having a big man Blueray raises the profile of the church even if you have 10 sidechics and are always drunk, They will give you a modified pathway that is not as stringent as those for poor people because they want to attract the rich elites to the church.

You wont tell Wigwe and the City of David crew not to drink alcohol or have sidechic or give bribes or practice corruption plus sharp business practices (As long as you pay tithes)

Its the parish at Akute Ajangbadi Okokomaiko that we have all the strict rules for. Na these people the Pastors will walk out if they come late to church or their phone ring inside service

Baba , I’m telling u that he’s wrong saying it’s the poor people that keeps these church engine running . You made my point for me when u mentioned the late Herbert Wigwe and the city of David.

There are several rich men who worship at RCCG city of David for example ; I mean men who are capable of raising 1 billion naira within a week without much stress . In fact , some poor members find their way to these churches because of the presence of these big men in the same church . I know people who have abandoned their local churches to join those mega churches because they require assistance like university admission , jobs , business patronage , etc .

Na the rich and well to do guys Dey carry these churches , not the poor who contribute very little . It’s almost the same thing with white garment churches too. When they want to have harvests , u will see people based abroad donating cows and other material stuff towards the planning of the harvest . I know these things .

TemporaryHansel:
Let’s be honest - poverty fuels overreligiousity in this country.
The loudest warriors for church and mosque matters are usually poor, desperate people, clinging to the hope that their suffering is caused by "generational curses" instead of failed systems and bad governance.
They get called “Papa,” and their most devoted clients are women struggling in marriages and broke people looking for miracles.
Sure, rich folks fall for it sometimes, but it’s usually the poor that keep the engine running.
Charisma + a crowd in pain = unlimited influence.

What’s crazy is this: people say only a revolution can fix Nigeria.
But the truth is, the only people who can actually spark one are these pastors and imams.
They’ve already brainwashed millions - if they chose to, they could decide elections overnight.
But they’re too busy milking their flock to care.

Lolz 😂; Dey play !

Go to RCCG and see bank managers , senior managers in big companies and successful professionals washing toilets as workers in the church . Those are the ones keeping the engine running and not the poor folks .

The poor people are not even the ones that donate the most in those churches . There was a time one single individual donated a whole building in Lekki worth billions of naira to Oyedepo’s Winners Chapel .

I think I’ve shared the story here before when the man came down from his venza at ikeja, shot one of the area boys trying to harrass him while driving , and then dragged the boy into the back of his venza after shooting him. I guess the man was most likely a DSS or military personnel on mufti

Sanwoolu is absent at flagoff of Lekki Deep sea port reconstruction in Lagos , but he’s spotted in Akwa Ibom to where the Akwa Ibom governor is decamping to APC .

I guess this confirms all is not well between Tinubu and Sanwoolu at the moment .

But why is it that Tinubu has had issues all the governors that ruled after him since he left the seat in Lagos ? He had issues with Fashola , Ambode and now Sanwoolu .

DeadPresidents:
When you want to eff a billionaire up, you go for their funds.

Trump has already cut the subsidies and contracts Elon enjoyed with the previous government and this must feel like a betrayal of epic proportions considering how much money Elon spent to get Trump in office

Na wa o. But I thought they were all chummy and an item together …. I mean ; What changed ? What brought them to the stage where Trump is cancelling his contracts few months after he appointed him as head of DOGE!

LordAdam16:
Trump united several factions of the American polity to win the elections.
One of those factions want something to be urgently done about America's rising deficit.

Trump gets elected.
He immediately lets those guys, led by Elon, have a crack at deficit reduction.
They had some wins but then they inevitably stalled when the next item on the docket was taking an axe to military spending and America's beloved entitlement programs.
It is pertinent to note that while DOGE was in session, Elon disproportionately suffered the consequences while Trump skated by with nary a scratch.

Recall that part about several factions.
Well, Trump promised to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent to another faction that elected him.
He also promised no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, and no tax on social security payments.
The WH does not control the purse strings. Congress does. Congress represents varied interest groups.
So if Trump wants to fulfill the tax cut promise to Wall Street, corporate America, and Main Street, he needs to cut soap for Congress critters.

Enter the Big Beautiful Bill (3B) that is America's version of a padded budget bill with million naira streetlights.
Nigerians call it padding. Americans call it pork.
Trump has to cheer for it for political expediency. Midterms are a year out.
Elon is big mad Tesla sales dropped virtually everywhere including a whooping 49% in Europe actively pursuing a cause that this bill mollifies.
Elon sees the opportunity to rail against the bill to recover somewhat with the tree hugger crowd.
Trump is pushing back because he is a creature of habit. His golden rule is that all attacks, direct or implied, must be responded to.
That's the latest.

-Lord

So can Trump deal with Elon Musk like a typical Nigerian government can deal with any billionaire or it’s a total ball game in the US ?

Emaprince:
Lmao. I think the guy was glad about the statistics that he rushed to post.

Lack of money ke.

😂

izzou:
[color=royalblue]There could be an explanation to why that Stat is what it is. It is the "Lack of money" that I cannot relate with.

So, maybe I am wrong, but that stat also shows that those Zones at the top have working wives compared to Zones at the bottom.

A typical Southern woman, is leaving the house to work or market. So, most likely, the children may stay at home with maids, or eat at the shop; Or a friend's place pending when the parents get back

For the Northerners, they have a large population of women that stay at home all year. So it's possible they are eating 5 square meals a day.

Na the "Lack of money" part I never grasp yet.[/color]

Ur logic regarding northern women staying more at home than their southern counterparts being reason why the stats are like that is plausible ; but when u consider the "not having money" part of the stat, it makes the stat really funny.

I think the only way one can really understand the stat is if they provide the population for each region . For example u can have 10 million housewives in North west and 3 million housewives in the south south. 40% of 10m in the north west is still more than 60% of 3m in the south south.

But then again, which one be my own sef ? Shey na statistics we go chop?

Amoto94:
Share of households that had to skip a meal because of lack of money

1. South-east: 62.4%
2. South-south: 59.6%
3. South-west: 50.1%
4. North-east: 48.3%
5. North-west: 37%
6. North-central: 34%

Urban: 53.5%
Rural: 45.6%

National average: 48.1%

Funny statistics 😂

50% of 1 million and 60% of 700k are not one and same sha .

I would love to see the population for each of the regions sampled for this stat.

To what change?
Will it affect the budget?

To demand answers : Why should ministry of agriculture be using hundreds of millions to train hairdressers? Why should ministry of arts and culture be budgeting hundreds of millions to fix solar streetlights? Why should ministry of labour have a desk at Switzerland and hundreds of million is budgeted as running cost for the "desk"?

You know budget is plan right ? When some of these anomalies are pointed out in the media, it leaves room for the public to monitor and confirm if some of these unreasonable plans are executed eventually by the government and its agencies or if they were later corrected.

iamoyindamola:
You want DSS and efcc to run after those Media houses

DSS go after them for pointing out anomalies in a document that is publicly available? The budget was uploaded on a public website by the government na .

All they just need is to point out the anomalies and inconsistencies in the budget and write expose article on it .

livelongprospa:
This bot Don make here tire me.

Anyways one streetlight cost 266 million naira.

The conspiracy of silence of the media on this 2025 budget is mind boggling .

Individual persons on social media are pointing out how hundreds of millions had visibly been fritter away through the fraudulent 2025 budget ; yet news and print media do not find it worthy of investigating and doing a major story on it.

Instead our media guys are more interested in reporting Wike vs Amaechi banter and permutations for 2027. Nigeria is not a real place

I will never make such unwise decision ! 🙅‍♂️

CrystalTiger:
This 2025 budget is just ridiculous..No day passes without new sad discovery..

No wonder Akpabio and the rest are singing for and endorsing BAT everyday..The insertions in this budget is over the rooftop..

The 2025 budget is a mess .

I have been seeing excerpt of it posted on Twitter showing Ministry of Agriculture training Hairdressers with N100m, Ministry of foreign affairs getting allocation running into hundreds of millions for IDP camps, and various other ministries getting hundreds of millions for streetlights when their ministry has absolutely nothing to do with urban or rural electrification.

The fact that the minister of budget appointed by the master strategist is Atiku Bagudu (Abacha's bag man) tells u what u need to know that these things are not innocent mistakes but deliberate efforts at plundering and laundering as much funds as they could lay their hands on.
