I didn't dodge any question
I said how many Mr eazi do we have
Mr eazi knows what he's enjoying, for that woman action
She indirectly disrespected her husband and also don't give a fvck about his family
I still insist no matter what happens she doesn't have the right to ask him to leave unless the guy made attempt on her life, rape, assault her or defame her.
Same way my family can't send her away, we have dos and don'ts in Yoruba na
I am sorry for this statement but in the video we can grab the tribe they are from, so many things can cause this outburst sha
The wife could be an OSU or the husband family are pushing for another wife.

For the life insurance, it's my wife I will put na
Who else will I put

Omo! I don see Yoruba wives disrepect their brother-in-laws well well o.

It's not even about tribe, when a woman is angry she can have such outburst. The thing is we don't know what the guy did that made the wife react in such ways. Like u said the lady may have seen a chat between her husband and his brother talking about another wife, that alone can trigger the wife to go berserk on him.

Until we get the full context of the video, we will never be sure whether the woman's outburst is justified or not.

Since you claim the bold is available on the internet. Pray, tell me a link to a breakdown of any one of the government arm security vote details. I am waiting.

Accountability is not by asking silly questions that your government will laugh at or make you look like a fool while answering. It is in asking an informed sensible question. Not asking the minister to account for a money/expense that was not budgeted for.

Show me the law that classified security vote . You claimed it is classified up there , provide the law,statute or regulation that makes it a classified government expenditure .

Let’s see how sensible u claim to be .

iamoyindamola:
How many of Mr eazi do we have?
I prefer looking at it from majority

See as u use style dodge the question 😂.

But on a serious note we don’t really know what led to their argument/altercation . We don’t know if the man had gotten on her nerves and she just had to put him in her place .

If we know the origin of their misunderstanding, then we would be able to put things into perspective .

You should also know that there are some men who are weak and don’t know how to put their wife and kids first before any brother or sister .

For example if u work in a good organization where they do life insurance for all their staff so that when a staff dies, the insurance company pays the beneficiaries of the staff a lump sum of money for insurance benefits ; it is ideal for u as a man to put ur wife as the beneficiary . This is because ur wife is the only person that can take care of ur kids like u would in the event of ur demise .

However , I have seen some people making their brothers and sisters as beneficiaries . Such people , when they die and insurer pays the brother or sister , the wife and kids will be at the mercy of their siblings who may not really care about them .

These are some of the mistakes some men make .

20% of niggas with permanent residency in UK is because a woman with pali babied them, fed them when they couldn't work better work, and finally regularised their stay with marriage or kids. Most times even came up with the deposit for their first family home while he was battling immigration. Na nigga wey no know the power of gbola go say brothers do more for a man than a woman will.

No be lie !

One of my friends back in the university , he’s in Canada today on PR courtesy of his wife . He was dating the lady when we were in 100Level and they later broke up .

Like 7 years after graduation they both reconnected , both having had different failed relationships. As at the time they reconnected the lady was already processing her Canada PR to japa.It didn’t even take up to 6 months they reconnected my guy quickly rush do introduction with her and she travelled the next Monday .

To cut long story short , she came back to wed him less than 6 months after settling down and then filled for him to join her as her legal spouse . He quickly resigned here and moved to Canada ASAP .

Ibime:
Dey play

I never see wetin woman no fit do for man when he touch her mumu button

Exactly !

Na only when man marry wrongly he go Dey value his extended family more than the family himself and his wife built together .

If a man marries right and his wife is down with him, he will always put his his wife and kids first while other family members can now follow in order of priority .

Look at Eedris Abdulkarim’s wife , she gave him a kidney when he was down and out . She literally gave him a second chance to live ; something none of his extended family can do . I’m sure if his brother wanted to donate to him , that one’s wife will not allow him. That’s the time he will start remembering the times Eedris did not buy car for him when he was hot .🥵

Make man just get better wife , he will enjoy his marriage and will not allow any of his extended family to intrude on their home .

ObaIgwe1:
The bold further confirmed your ignorance. Not every details of government finance is published for security purposes and this does not apply to Nigeria alone. If you don't know that there are classified government expenses then you are ignorant. At least you ought to know about the popular security votes common with your governors. It is classified. Whether it is properly spent or not is a different ball game, but my point is that there are classified government expenses.

I rest my case with you on this subject matter cause even if I explain till tomorrow it will be a waste of time.

You and your goons can keep screaming for the minister to come and give account of the 20billion saved from subsidy like it exist.

If I ask u to quote the particular law or act that classified government’s finance now , u will not be able to do so but here u are boldly claiming government expenses are classified . 🤦‍♂️

It’s funny how u are the ignorant one but trying to project ur igborance on someone else . The so called security vote u claim is classified , the figures are easily available on the internet per state .

The people in government u guys love to defend hate accountability , it’s no surprise that u the supporters/defenders will follow suit . It’s just a shame that y’all will claim u want a better and prosperous country but u are the same set of people that will always put up unreasonable defence for the politicians and public servants when the people call them to give account of their stewardship .

seankafor:
but this thing dey somehow oo

No one knows the days of their little begining.. how they helped each other and sacrificed for each other whilst growing up..

Now all of a sudden as soon 🔜 as woman enter, the love and cooperation reduces..

If na person wey sacrificed his sweat for his brother and vice versa.. and now woman wey no know where Una start wey enter when things don dey stew go come dey tel U all these insults.. Omo e get as e bee oo

Do u know whether the husband and wife keep a joint account in which they both contribute to run their home ?

Whatever u sacrificed for ur bother when growing up ,it has nothing to do with his home that he now runs with his wife .

Ideally when a man is married , his first priority/responsibility is the family he’s building with his wife ; that’s his nuclear family .

You may not see it that way , but that brother right there is trespassing because that house is definitely not their family house .

Exactly my thought
Them never born any woman well sha, either the guy is entitled or not

Lolz. 😂

If u are Mr Eazi and ur wife is Temi Otedola, will u still hold on to this belief ?

swiz123:
A good woman shouldn't be seen doing that. Her husband should be the one telling his brother to move out. Same way the wife is expected to tell her mom or siblings to move when they overstay. It's common respect.

They are both wrong . The man has no business overstaying his welcome in his brother’s house .

The wife too should not be shouting and disrespecting her brother-in-law.

That’s why I said as a man it’s better u Dey chop 1 meal a day in ur one bedroom apartment based on ur hustle than for u to pack to ur brother’s big house where u will be eating free food and free insult served by the wife .

There’s nothing as good as u going to visit ur brother and going back to ur house at the end of the day . The wife no go see u finish and there won’t be any reason for her to disrespect u. The moment a woman knows it’s her husband that feeds u , cloth u and shelter u; whatever level of respect she has for u reduces .

This is an utter disrespect to the husband. It's not in her place to tell her in law to leave.

If any woman disrespect me like, she will go on a season long loan to her parent's house. At least, that place is truly hers.

The younger brother supposed get shame small na . Once ur brother is married u supposed focus on urself ,go hustle and have ur own money so u won’t get disrespected like that by ur brother’s wife .

That was how Kanu’s younger brother that married that Linda Ikeji sister was getting entitled to his brother’s money , using his brother’s son tickets to go watch free match ; until the brother’s wife called him out and embarrassed him on the internet .

Man supposed know him place so that ur brother’s woman no go Dey stain ur white

Lagos-Calabar coastal highway has reached the border with Ogun State

Does anyone know if the lands around the highway are available for sale? They look like village lands that might still be available

One thing I know is even if Tinubu does not complete the road to Calabar, he will complete the Yoruba side and some of these lands might offer better commute to VI than from some parts of Mainland

https://www.nairaland.com/8313999/lagos-calabar-coastal-highway-construction-reaches

cc BlueRaydick and all Lagosians

If the lands around that side are available for sale I’m sure all the real estate companies would’ve started marketing everywhere on the internet with the tag “ Buy a plot of land at xyz village; it is located at Km 14 off Lagos-Calabar costal road “.

Just the same way they used location of Dangote refinery to sell all the land along that axis at an exorbitant price , the would’ve started doing same for the lands around that coastal road corridor if the lands are available .

But above all make sure the land titles u get from buying any property around that axis are triple checked o

IfnobeGod20:
This is why I say most of the problems we have are caused by the supporters and not even the leaders.
See the leader has not asked the senator the rationale for asking that question but see some citizens questioning him for asking that. Someone even said it was a stupid question, another person said it was an unintelligent question that he suppose not ask it.
Let us just forget it, this country can never grow because as some people are pulling the string to the right, another set are pulling it to the left

Their own is just to stan their fave and chastise anybody that dares to hold their faves to accountability.

We still have a long way to go in this country . They all claim to love democracy and don’t want military rule , but when people ask questions like it’s done in democratic societies all over the world they get upset and start attacking the people asking the questions like military government would do.

KingTom:
It is actually LP propaganda if we're being real majority of the people egging this narrative are LP members who feel Dangote have been hard done by the 'evil' APC govt.

I don’t even think it has anything to do with whether APC , PDP , LP or any other party .

The thing is both Dangote and NNPC have engaged in so much propaganda to the extent that people just picked a side and chose to defend whichever side of the divide they picked .

There are people who bought the narrative that Dangote’s colorless PMS in the best in the world and it must be what everyone use in the country . These set of people believe NNPC and importers are Dangote’s mortal enemy who want his investment to go to dust .

Then there are people who welcome the NNPC’s PMS as an alternative to Dangote’s which they believe will checkmate Dangote’s penchant for monopoly and premium pricing . These set of people don’t care if ma urine and ogogoro NNPC mix together to produce its PMS

The funny thing is these two categories of people abound in all the political parties and even among apolitical people .

As for me, myself and I ; na to buy fuel at a price cheaper than what it presently is be my own . I no get anybody wey Dey work for either Dangote or NNPC

Danabu:
How do you explain puplic finance privately as a public officer? Me think there is nothing to discuss privately as a public officer. The questions were asked in a public forum and should be answered there publicly.
On the flip side it is a clear display of the ministers ineptitude and no more!

You get !

Yet some people here are trying to explain away the minister’s actions . This our country ehn, it appears as though even when public officials want to do the right thing some citizens will encourage them to do otherwise with their actions and inactions

ObaIgwe1:
I repeat that meeting was not a press briefing, most times press are allowed to cover senate committee meetings, but if in the wisdom of the committee or the person called upon to give information, they think sensitive or classified information will need to be shared, then it is expected they have that discussion off camera. This is not strange or new anywhere. Except you believe there should be no classified information in government, that will be a different debate altogether. The laws allowed classification of information everywhere at the moment in almost all countries of the world.

The bold question you also asked also showed you and Ningi have little knowledge of public finance. The fact that Wale Edun said over $20bn was saved from removing subsidy does not mean the money was saved into an account to be given account of.

Let me give you an instance, my office invested heavily in solar 2 years ago and one of my managers said said the solar we installed has saved us millions of naira meant for PHCN and diesel. Imagine me asking him to come and give account how the money saved from using solar was spent. That is a stupid question to ask because the there is no longer a budget or account for such expenses. While it is true is that using solar has saved us millions of naira, that money is not existing somewhere to give account of. It simply means the company by not spending money on PHCN and diesel, now have more profit or have more money to invest on other projects or company expenses.

So removing subsidy only saved the Government billions of money that they would have budgeted and spent on it. Mr Edun can estimate it because we know how much was spent the year before under subsidy. But after removing subsidy , the government is not putting the money saved in a special account to be given account of. they simply stopped budgeting and spending money for subsidy. That only give them more money to share between the different arm of Government to budget and spend on other things.

You can ask question about government spending on palliatives and other projects and how it affect the people, but the money for such thing is a different budget not from a dedicated subsidy account. mixing it up and asking the way you and Ningi is asking shows a level of ignorance in public finance.

At this point I can see u are just waffling and playing around semantics while trying to make an unreasonable and untenable excuse for the minister .

Nothing concerns me whatever you spent money on in ur office because ur office is not Nigeria ; a country whose finance all citizens have a right to demand an explanation for .

The finance of Nigeria is not a classified information ; at least there’s a reason why the country’s budget gets published .

You people that have chosen to defend government , its agencies and officials will come up with anything just to excuse them from being accountable to the people when they demand same of them .

It is really bold of u to be throwing the word “ignorance” around when u are talking about finance with me . lol . You are no different from all this current government’s spokesperson whose MO is to go combative anytime citizens demand clarifications/accountability from the executive arm of the government .

ObaIgwe1:
That does not overrule the fact that the question from the senator is silly or stupidly asked. I was only suggesting reasons Mr. Edun could have chosen to answer the question in private. The more absurd thing are those suggesting he is hiding or manipulating subsidy figures. How do you hide or manipulate what is no longer existing?

The minister didn't run from his job of providing clarification to the senators, he only asked to address them off camera. The meeting was not a press briefing. It is not every information shared between different government arms that are for public consumption or debate. Applicable in advanced countries and even public business organizations like your bank too, they don't invite press for every discussion or release every detail of their finances to the public. That is why we elect representatives that look after our interests. If Senator Ningi (an opposition Senator) is not satisfied with the answers the Minister gave off public cameras, he should say so.

We elect representatives to represent us because we all can't be speaking at the same time but our reps can echo our common thoughts and ask the public officers to provide clarifications to those asking point to the public and in public.

If they wanted to learn about that information behind closed doors don't u think they would've invited him to a closed door meeting, take down his explanation/talking points and bid him bye?

Nobody said he is manipulating figures that does not exist, rather they are asking him to explain to the public how the over $20bn he claimed the government has saved have been spent. Nobody forced the government when they made promises that money saved from removal of subsidy will be utilized for palliatives, infrastructures and other projects that will enhance economic growth.

Now he's being asked to explain how far well they have kept that promise and we are being told it's something that cameras must be off before it is explained. Haba!

There's no justification for him to have refused to give answers to the question in public gaskiya!

Emaprince:
He say na spy police what a twist.

Police men are assigned to regular individuals that can pay the money, how much more big wigs and influential guys.

I travelled for xmas...and there are some men patrolling with police orderlies. Abi na spy police them carry?

There are several real police officers attached to VIPs and any other person that has money to pay for their services.

Someone like Abu Abel (a frat guy) that holds no political post or office goes about with a hilux full of policemen attached to him. Just look at the video in the link below and see the Mopol with gun


https://www.tiktok.com/video/7323642123163553030

In fact sometime around 2023 before subsidy was removed and fuel price jumped up ; I learnt there are companies who do car rentals whose cars come with police escort. For as low as 100k, 150k (back then), u can rent a Landcruiser Prado for a whole day and the car will come with a MOPOL that will follow u everywhere u go throughout that day. So, the regular policemen on the road will not stop you for normal stop and search/extortion. Some boys use them for going on dates to impress girls while other use them when going clubbing.

All those their oga go just dey release press statement online and be forming like they are oblivious of all these things.

ObaIgwe1:
He shouldn't have asked that question that way in the 1st place. The better and intelligent question is to ask for value added to the government finances and the lives of ordinary Nigerians with the removal of subsidy. His question made it look like there is a special account/budget dedicated to subsidy, someone in his level of government should know better. The question is silly already to intelligent minds, there is no way Wale Edun will answer him directly that will not make him look more stupid.

And should the minister decide to answer the question by paraphrasing the question to sound more logical, he might need to talk about sensitive findings around the subsidy still under investigation, like possible findings of cabals benefiting from the subsidy that are under investigation, and other sensitive issues that should not be discuss in public yet for security investigation reasons.... We actually have no full clue what Wale Edun didn't intend to put in the public yet. But to think it's about hiding figures makes no sense because, there was no budget figure or amount for subsidy to manipulate and in the senate committee he was addressing, there were members of opposition parties there too.

You know u have no clue why he didn't answer the question in public, but u've been alleging all day that he didn't answer because the question was a stupid one ?

Na wa o.

When citizens keep defending public servants and politicians in this manner, they will always continue to shy away from accountability.

Wale Edun's job involves him providing clarifications to such questions raised in the hallowed chambers. In case you forget, the senator is a representative of the hundreds of thousand people of his constituency and Wale Edun owes them an answer to whatever question they have about the finance of the country. Except u are saying whatever Wale Edun tells them behind closed doors the senator will then go back to his people to relay same; and this doesn't even make sense.

GloriousGbola:
these guys are not actual policemen

they are spy police. supernumerary policemen. anyone can become spy police.

i am sue in your office some drivers have been turned to spy p[police

however if i recall they are no longer supposed tom be wearing uniforms - but of course that will defeat their purpose, which is ogboju intimidation.

The guy in the video is an actual policeman; he's a MOPOL that is attached to the Okoya boys and not a SPY police. The truth is there are several VIPs that still have real police attached to them despite the order by IGP to withdraw their services. In fact, it is some sort of ritual that once a new IGP is appointed the first thing they do is order withdrawal of policemen attached to VIPs ; an order that is never obeyed.

Like u rightly said we have SPY policemen who drive some of the Expatriates in my work place, so I know SPY police when I see one.

If u notice, the Police press statement also confirmed the policeman in the video is their officer and not a SPY police

larride:
The police should've just form unlooking because almost everyone knows they are not going to arrest Okoya son when Tinubu is the President for abusing the naira.

Them just throw one of their own under the bus unnecessarily to save face.

Exactly ! They should just have form say dem no see the video cos everybody knows those boys will never be arrested based on who Chief Okoya is .
