Umahi cashing out.

https://businessday.ng/investigation/article/how-umahi-violated-procurement-law-with-n60bn-contracts-for-loyalist/

Nothing to see here; Umahi has managed to use the Okoro guy's company as SPV to set himself off for life after office. The ones he stole as Eboyin governor was not enough, he had to do much more as Minister of works.

If Umahi fit don steal this much as Minister for works within 3 years, only God knows how much Wike has stolen in that Abuja where he's not only awarding contracts worth billions, but also allocating lands as he pleases without much supervision.

By the time this people are done with this country ehn.......

Then somebody will come here to say Universities must increase their fees to N1m to free more funds for FG projects, Electricity subsidy must be removed to make more funds available for government....and other sort of nonsense that .

Some people will this BusinessDay report finish and na "Obi is a fraud", "Obi is a packaged scam", "Obi can never be president" go be their conclusion.

The ref just wants to make headlines. How's simulating a snooker shot offensive?

The ref definitely knows what he's doing.

TemporaryHansel:
This thing happens to artists as well. There are many artists who abandoned their naija fans because they wanted to go international, las las when the international cast, they try to get back the Nigerian audience, but by then the ship has already sailed. Too many to count.

DBanj is the number one poster boy for this when he moved to Kanye's GOOD music label in 2011. That was like beginning of the end for him.

Theflint1:
No dey really watch BBN like that before, but the falloff has been crazy.

I think BB Naija falloff is due to not just one factor sha. There's the massive drop in the number of DSTV customers; most people have packed up their DSTV and GOTV decoders because of incessant hike in subscription fees with no service improvement.

In the past I used to be one of those customers who would lament about DSTV signal during rainfall. However, with the advent of unlimited internet packages like MTN fiber X, Airtel ODU, Starlink, etc, some of those customers like me sought alternative in streaming sites, Android TV, Fire Stick and other alternatives to DSTV where we get premium entertainment value without rewarding multichoice for poor service offering.

The hardship in Nigeria sef is another factor. Some people who would struggle to do GOTV/DSTV sub and fuel their generator to watch BB Naija in the past have decided to channel their resources to more pressing needs. Person wey dey belle dey turn no go think of BB Naija. They will just buy data and follow BB Naija on TikTok and IG.

The movie actually swept away awards in AMVCA
I have issues with the siblings they were distant all through the film

That's because most Nollywood movies are shiiit naturally.

Theflint1:
Sometimes all these Nigerian movies wey dey bait foreign awards/recognition go dey do some things to appeal to foreign audience which ends up making things looking weird to a Nigerian audience, that was what happened with some of their shots.

Even some of the conversations, especially those that involved secondary characters felt very unnatural.

I'm glad you saw the issues too. I understand if a foreign movie/series like Blacklist shows a scene or two from Nigeria and they start speaking a Nigerian Language with funny accents, but for a movie that's supposed to be Nigerian movie with Nigerian actors? Nah!

Maybe over the weekend if I have time I will try to complete the movie and if I will agree with Ur overall rating Sha. From the majority part I've watched, I feel they could've done better.

Theflint1:
their attempts at depicting what life was like in old Nigeria was sometimes too in the face, .

You see this point? This is my biggest grouse with the producers/director of the movie. The attempt at depicting Nigeria during the June 12 1993 elections was just so forced. They had to zoom camera angles too close when shooting scenes that involved walking on the streets.

Also, they didn't get their time value of money right at all. How person go enter N100 naira bus in 1993 ?

The lead character was supposed to be a Yoruba guy named Fola but somehow the guy's Yoruba accent/intonation clearly shows he's not Yoruba. I thought the guy's family were living in the village while he's hustling in Lagos only to find out his wife went to the village when he came back home from Lagos to meet the boys alone. Where the 4ck are they living that is neither Lagos nor village ?

A lot of things seemed forced in the movie, I vex abandon the movie because I was struggling to see what exactly they were trying to do with the disjointed storyline and too many plot hole.

I commend the two boy's acting tho. That's like the first time I'm seeing Nigerian kid actors play their role perfectly well without necessary starring into the camera

Theflint1:
My Father's Shadow on Netflix is a really good movie.

I was not impressed one bit.

I have a lot to say in negative about this movie , like I was so disappointed I didn't finish watching it. I watched close to 1 hour of the movie and didn't see the "really good" in its rating. I abandoned the movie with 30 minutes unwatched.

iamoyindamola:
I just read removing corner flag is a bookable offense, the ref is following the rule book

We both know that an offence being bookable doesn't mean the ref automatically brandishes a yellow card na.

How many times have we seen ref cautioning a player already on yellow card instead of drawing out second yellow card in order not to "spoil" the match?

Moreover, there are players that have removed flags in the past, those who kicked the corner flag and didn't get yellow carded.

The thing is na politics Cause that guy's red card and we all know it

iamoyindamola:
Those boys won't come to training again

If na you, shey you go go?

iamoyindamola:
That celebration doesn't look like snooker stick celebration Na
I see it more like a sniper shot moreover if it was another national player it could be overlooked.
The player got sent off for second yellow not straight red

I've never played snooker before in my life but I do watch people play it. That's how they play a shot in snooker na..... Just look at how he placed his left hand under the flag stick.

Funny thing is the particular player is an Arab Israeli Muslim, not a Jew. See the guy's name in the screenshot

StarchAndBanga:
The only quality Popizaino looks for in his DM is the ability to thread a through pass from deep.. To him that's the most important quality a DM should have, any other quality is just jara

😂😂😂

I've seen people like popi coach small small boys in the area before. Dem go dey train the boys and try to replicate some of the fantasies in their mind onto the training pitch.

Na when dem carry the boys go play competition and dem flog dem wetin no good most people for area go see say coach Popi no really Sabi ball like he dey make mouth, yet Wan kill the boys with training and "aspire to perspire". Dem too Sabi use mouth drive motor 😂

iamoyindamola:
Exactly just the way anybody will first think and confirm identity when dealing with a Nigerian
Hes a victim of his country, I don’t blame the ref too

I blame the ref pa! How can he not know that's a snooker playing gesture?

The ref clearly officiated with agenda in his mind and not officiating with clear mind.

On what grounds is the ref giving this Israeli player red card?

For all I know, that's a snooker celebration that players like Neywmar have done in the past without any card brandished by the ref.

Omo! Dem carry global politics and propaganda enter football big time!

Can't u see it's obviously AI generated video?

Dutch players looking for fair play when Brobbey's injury was obviously not head injury.

Goal ball!

Summerville really doing well in this game. The boy is doing some decent winger's work.

Van Dyke's goal ruled out due to Brobbey's foul on Ter Stergen. Similar to Arsenal vs West Ham last season

Most former poor people lol...

Make dem continue! By the time majority of the youth dropout, turn agbero and begin to harass the so called elites, I will see how they will enjoy their new found social status.

https://www.nairaland.com/8754059/lady-transfers-450000-indrive-driver

I don't know why some Nigerians are so dishonest and always showing their wickedness at the slightest chance they have. Customer wanted to pay for N4,500 indrive ride only to mistakenly transfer N450k to driver. Instead make driver return money he's doing everything possible to keep the money that obviously doesn't belong to him.

NB: I said "some Nigerians " because I've once made similar mistake and the nice woman involved was even the one that called my attention to my mistake and did the refund .

When my boy was born, on the day mother and son were to be discharged I decided to get a pack of juice to be shared amongst the security guards, nurses and admin staff on duty that afternoon.

I went to get the juice at one Alhaja's shop two buildings away from the hospital. She told me the pack of juice was N16k, and I offered to pay via transfer. After doing the transfer I asked her to check and confirm payment so I can be on my way. Immediately her POS machine gave an alert sound which signified payment received.

I was almost leaving in haste before she stopped me and asked that I check my transfer alert again. I wanted to tell her not to bother me, but I reluctantly checked and realized I sent N160k instead of N16k. Omo, na one time I calm down and began thanking her. She asked for my account details and transferred N144k back to me almost immediately. She didn't even take a kobo for bank charges.

I was really grateful to her because I most likely wouldn't notice the mistake until much later when I am fully settled. By that time, she might likely deny receiving the funds and by so doing would make me go through stress of going to bank to do unnecessary wahala . Even though I might end up having her account placed on PND to punish her for her dishonesty, the stress would've been too much on me at that particular time.

They are actually the top 2 in Nigeria followed by Adenuga at No.3 (according to Forbes).

Whoever owns AA Rano is another big boy

That one no get the kind money Dangote and Rabiu has..... Rano sef get money o, but dem Dangote and Rabiu go far gan.

raumdeuter:
Never heard of him. Most Northern rich men are coded. Besides Dantata and Dangote, you wont know many of them. Even Samad Rabiu na about 15yrs ago I hear of am

Na even Dele Momodu with ovation make us dey know them

I guess it's a northern thing for them to be coded and not blow their trumpet unlike what we have over here in the South. The same way Dangote's daughters are not about the social media life is the same way Samad Rabiu's children too.

The Children of a typical Southern Billionaire no go let una rest....They must to show u lifestyle . See the Children of Chief Razak Okoya for example

afrodoc2:
Yeah i have heard this story before. BUA's father Isyaku Rabiu was heavily loaded. Possibly 2nd only to Dantata in Kano back then.

He was really loaded. Only God knows the kind of bag they must have dumped on the trial judge to give that kind of judgement.

The fact that the trial judge retired after the case and returned to England with his largesse shows this corruption thing don tey no be today. The elite have been using their influence to beat the system since God knows when

The days of submitting paper CV na him make you come see. Those days na Gatemen be the Odogwu

You go reach gate.
Applicant: I want to see HR
Gateman 1: Do you have an appointment?
Applicant: No I want to submit my CV
Gateman 2: Who told you we are employing? What position are you applying to?
Applicant: I want to apply for graduate trainee
Gateman 2: We dnt have any vacancy. Do you even have First class or Two-one
2nd gateman : Which course you study sef
You: Accounting
Gateman 1: This is a factory we dont take accountant
Applicant 2: I studied Engineering
Gateman 1. : This place na bank, wetin Engineer dey find for here
Gateman 2: Which School you go sef
Applicant: Nairaland University
Gateman: Na Yabatech graduate we dey take

Take your CV away with you or if you no wan take am, this basket here, Put your CV here.

They are gatekeepers, na since when I dey school I don learn how to massage those ones ego. I was able to drop hard copies CVs at some companies as a fresh graduate by massaging their ego and doing emotional blackmail for them.

The OGs in the house, have heard of this crime story before?

According to the narrator, the alleged perpetrator in this crime story ( Nafiu Ishaku Rabiu) turns out to be the elder brother of Rabiu Abdulsamad (BUA). Never knew BUA was old old money like Dangote too.

Maybe because they know that you as a student are already higher than them and the moment you graduate, you wont even be on their level

But I know some correct Non academic staff too though na settlement he wants. Once you settle him, he can carry your file to all the facilities in the school. So na him dey help talk to other non academic staff

Omo! Non teaching staff just wicked for no reason. When it's like a week to exam students will be required to have their exams docket signed by their HODs.

Na that time the HODs secretaries dey play God. Your class governor can collate the whole class's course forms and exam dockets for submission and the HOD secretary will ask for bribe before signing. If you happen to be indisposed and didn't go to school that day, Ur own bribe might be x4 because you have to go relate with the secretary on an individual basis.

Those people ehn.... 🤦‍♂️

afrodoc:
Inferiority complex might contribute. That is why in most cases oga’s driver and other servants are even more arrogant than oga himself.

Having said that, this issue permeates every section of Nigerian society. The difference is that soldiers and policemen have weapons. Pound for pound Nigerian lecturers are more wicked. lol

Yeah, I agree Nigerians wey wicked and proud plenty pass those with good heart and humility
