Naija dey learn for where USA dey when it comes to politics

Democracy Una

So because of democracy they should allow him break protocol? 🤷‍♂️

In some countries if u rush the podium like that, the security officers will slam dunk him or take him out completely with extreme force.

Amigoss:
That lone survivor cheated death,he jump from plane ....

The guy was probably at alert ; he quickly found out the plane was faulty and decided to take a risk of using the emergency exit door.

He must have been paying attention when the air hostess give safety talks before the plane took off about how to locate the emergency exit doors and all.

Above all, he was extremely lucky to be alive because what if he had jumped and he landed awkwardly? Maybe he smashed his head while jumping off the plane or breaks most of the bones in his body?

If na naija, if the guy decides to open a church and claim he's the chosen one; people will full his church.

CAPdan21:
Na since last month people dey announce say dem go leave forum for se.un, but men still mount here....Be like jazz

It's because there's actually no close substitute/alternative available.

If one leaves nairaland and permanently relocate to Twitter, u won't know when u will be drawn into the negativity on naija Twitter. So much bickering and bad blood over there worse than what is even obtainable on nairaland.

Pocket watchers

If you like make your money and use am to buy OS car, Na you know

I detest pocket watchers so bad. They always have an opinion about what U should do about Ur own money instead of focusing on making their own money and spend it however they so please

What's this new rubbish trend of telling people what to do with their money sef? 🤷‍♂️

I mean money they earned through sheer hard work o, and one person will.just put on ring light be telling them what they should and should not do with their money.

I like how this person in the second screenshot called out the yeye hypocrisy of this Very darkman

Realmrsean:
lol, so you sef fall for the propaganda

1 million russian deaths, which data them use get the number?

If Russia has 1 million death that means Ukraine must've had around 10-20 million deaths taking into cognisance of the recently exchange ratio of the dead soldiers.

The dead ratio of russian to Ukraine is around 20:1..

Recently Russia gave Ukraine 1667 bodies while Ukraine gave around 62.. with almost 5k+ still remaining to be claimed

If no be for musk, where we for dey fact check all these mainstream propaganda machines?

Reason I say God bless Elon musk and Vladimir Putin

You are missing the point.

I don't know if the 1 million figure is right or wrong because I don't follow the news on the Russia-Ujraine war for a long time now. But what I'm saying is that u cannot use the second screenshot talking about exchange of bodies to disprove the first screenshot because they are talking about two different things.

In fact, if u check through the second screenshot u will see that they put a caveat that the figures relating to exchange of bodies are not the total casualty figures. It simply means there are other people that must have died but their bodies are not accounted for in the exchange of bodies exercise

GloriousGbola:
take away multiple monikers and abandoned ids and it may not be up to 500k users

tik tok dem are not really the same imho. they are more for entertainment than actual deep discussions. unfortunately people are being primed towards the idea that you can actually use them as a source of coherent information

i regularly go to youtube for tutorial content.

i am not sure you can find that on tikok or instagam. best i can do with instagram is lok for sellers of some itemss

The funny thing is that the closest to YouTube amongst all the social media platform is TikTok. You get to see tutorial contents too on TikTok if u know where to look.

seankafor:
Why do the west lie so much? Does it make them sleep good at night?

The screenshots u attached are talking about Teo different things na.

The first screenshot claims 1 million Russians have died since the start of the war.

The second screenshot is talking about exchange of bodies.

I hope u know it's not all the Russians that died within Ukraine territory that will have their bodies exchanged during the exchange of bodies? I mean people who were bombed to smithscreens definitely can have their bodies exchanged.

PS: I'm not saying the 1 million figures claimed in the first screenshot is correct or wrong O; I'm only pointing it out that u can't use the second screenshot to fault the first screenshot.

raumdeuter:
I think tiktok is focused on small 30secs entertainment, there is a limit of education or information you can do in 30secs

IG na just longer tiktok. How many times do you think they are debating indepth politics on Tiktok or IG?

Twitter yes they do

NL has been around for 20yrs but its mainly for Nigerians. Tiktok and IG forces you to open an account to even get a chance to view, that was what made many people like me even open accounts

NL you dont have to open an account yet get to consume the content

You will also agree that it takes some level of confidence to comment on some topics on NL. I know many people who read NL but do not comment because they cant keep up with gbasgbos or have deep knowledge of the topic

Its also easier to relate to the cheesy light hearted content of Tiktok an IG vs debating Tinubus budget

The bold shows u don't use TikTok nor do u know much about how it works.

TikTok has since moved beyond this ; in fact the number of educational contents on TikTok cannot be matched with what U have in Facebook and IG combined.

There are different niche of contents on TikTok ; from tech TikTok to sports, to educational and even politics. The age of 30 seconds TikTok videos is in the long past.

For example, u can get all the information u need about a woman's pregnancy from implantation to delivery on TikTok. They will keep pushing contents upon contents posted by medical practitioners who are content creators on the app to your FYP the moment u make a search relating to pregnancy.

Same thing u can have educating contents focused on programming, tech skills, etc appearing on Ur FYP consistently just because u show interest in searching something related to it.

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.
