He's a man with different age
Just like someone we can't mention 🤣🤣🤣

The man was given birth to at a time when people estimate year of birth by referencing a particular incident that happened during that period.

It is most likely the man just guess and adopted a year that he estimated from what he heard from his parents and or elderly relative.

The koko be say the man na very old man.

Personally I'm not invested in the case. Na lawyer vs lawyer matter ,make dem sort themselves.

iamoyindamola:
Lol 92 y/o afe babalola
I blame anyone playing hero for this country

Wikipedia says he’s 95 actually .

iamoyindamola:
What did he do gangan cos I am not getting it

He wrote a book about the criminality of the Nigerian justice system and he name dropped some judges and senior lawyers as being heavily involved in the corruption of our judiciary ( from his own view point ) .

One of the people he named is Afe Babalola and he’s used Nigerian police to carry him while the others have been suing him to different courts for defamation .

That’s the summary

afrodoc2:
I just hope the guy has some evidence to back up his claims.

Yes, it is public knowledge but none of us put names to it in a globally published book. Knowing it (like the rest of us do) is not the problem, publishing it is the root of his travails.

Anybody who plans to step on powerful toes must have a Plan B.

If he no get plan B , ba to enter sanko chop beans be that .

As a lawyer this assumed he knows the law and knows the burden of proof rests heavily on him.

afrodoc2:
Shey no be say this Farotimi don buy market like this. Another court case from another SAN.

At this rate Ifa sef no go support am again.

He is a lawyer and the people that claimed he defamed them are also lawyers .

They should all slug it out in court . May the best team win. Our own na to just watch from the sidelines as spectators .

He didn’t write anything new sef, we all know our judicial officers are corrupt starting from regular lawyers , SANs and judges of the courts at various level .

Shebi na this country we Dey when a partner from Wole Olanipekun’s chambers was pitching a client requesting the client give her chambers a brief that their law firm will “switch things” in the client’s favor . If not that the other lawyer Henry Ajumogobia raised an alarm and she was rightly disbarred , it would’ve been swept under the carpet .

Theflint1:
They believe some of the shit they spew. This is the same clown, all within 24 hours...cultists and touts.

If I don't appreciate Obaseki for anything, at least I'd appreciate him for putting all the touts and busy bodies in the state in their place, there was no space for the sort of brazen foolishness that Oshiomhole and his boys bring to the fore and that was their anger.

Police will not see this man and arrest now o; See him talking about killing somebody else over political differences .

If someone in the opposition in the state made such statement the whole police , DSS and other security agencies will be hounding such person . 🤦‍♂️

Abeg where is Segedinho ?

Theflint1:
So it seems this APC's minimum wage increase was a maximum scam, and I don't know if it's a failure of the labor leaders to negotiate properly, or it was the hypocrisy of the party wanting to take glory for increasing wages when in fact it's the opposite.

I was speaking with one Prof today, and he confirmed that he now earns less than he earned before the minimum wage increase. Instead of the government increasing the wages across board by a common percentage or something that was reasonably commensurate, showing they understood why there was call for a wage increase in the first place, they simply slapped 40K on everybody's salary and raised taxes ...so what that means is for junior staffs, they'd gain some, but as you climb up the civil service scale the whole thing reveals itself to be a proper scam.

It's sad that the government has played people like this, because it's not just the people on the lower rung of the ladder suffering from the cost of living crisis, everyone is.

People need pay serious attention to this scam of a government called APC, cause for whatever policy they market as what would make life better, they're finding ways to make things worse through some backdoor policy. It's no surprise things keep getting worse day after day. I pity those staking their reputations to float or defend policies BAT is enacting, I fear it won't end well.

As regards the bolded I don’t the tax was increased rather , the 40k added to the man’s salary obviously made his gross income jump into a higher tax bracket in line with Nigeria’s personal income tax rate . Nigeria’s personal income tax rate are progressive rates so there are chances getting a pay raise can make u pay more taxes.

In fact , I have been a victim before ( or should I say I’m currently a victim sef ) . Omo, the amount I pay as tax even pass some contract staff’s monthly salary and I Dey vex . However , when I see the calculation of the tax in line with the personal income tax rate for my current tax bracket, I just accept my L in peace that what I’m paying is the right amount and I’m not being made to pay more than I should .

That’s why me I will not leave the neck of any useless governor or president wey Dey use my tax dey spend on frivolities .

Our LHS has never been the same since Xhaka left bro

That has led to our over dependence on the RHS

Infact last season, it was our RHS over performing, you can see that as soon as odegaard got injured this season our RHS became as useless as our LHS

That is because odeggard and Xhaka are the fulcrum of our RHS and LHS respectively


If you observe keenly you will realize that saka formed dropped the momemt odeggard was injured, same way martinelli formed dropped the moment arteta replaced xhaka wity havert



In 22/23 our attack was very potent because we attack from LHS and RHS, this made us very unpredictable

As soon as Havertz came in to replace Xhaka for no good reason, our attack became very predictable because we started relying on the only potent side of our attack which is the RHS

This is just ur personal bias and contorted view of Arsenal’s attacking play . There’s absolutely nothing wrong with our LHS ; In fact the only reason we don’t rely overly on that side of the pitch is because we have a Saka that always makes every ball count while Martinelli does exactly the opposite .

If u indeed watch Arsenal matches keenly u will see the countless number of times Martinelli gets good position but ends up either bumping into opposition defenders or trying to outrun them in the name of dribble and thereby spoil beautiful attacking chances .

Martinelli is the major culprit of our LHS being in comatose attack-wise and not Rice like u are trying to imply . You see Rice and Calafiori( the few times he’s played ) combining well to set Martinelli off (just like Odegaard and Timber/White does for Saka on the RHS) ; but Martinelli always messes things up.

This happens regularly almost every match day , but somehow u want to blame Rice who was one of our best players last season and Merino who has barely used 4 months at the club . Haba! 🤦‍♂️

kodded:
But at least you can agree that Merino is Eleny regen

Merino joined Arsenal August 2024 which means he’s barely 4 months at the club . Recall he was injured and couldn’t play for a while .

In fact, he has only played just 8 times in the EPL most of which he came on as a late substitute .

How do u compare and judge such player with an Elneny that spent years at the club and played 161 times ? 🤦‍♂️

If u don’t like Merino , just state it bro nobody Dey beat anybody for here .

[quote author=Theflint1 post=133245084]The APC chairman said him making that sort of mistake is proof of his innocence, and Asue and Obaseki would never make such a mistake because they've stolen billions.

call people like this man SPINathropists; they can spin any narrative whatsoever . They will insult ur intelligence

Ibime:
Stop capping bro

Monday that clearly does not know his elementary Hundred, tens and units; Egbon dey talk about excel , numbers and text 😂

Roland17:
Isn't it ironic that the same mathematics that he passed is giving him convulsion?

They need to restrict his comments to Bini language only because even Jenifa no do reach this one.

It is ironic and shameful.

It is shameful that a man like him will not even get a job as a receptionist in a one-man business, talk less of getting employed to be CEO of a company . But today he’s the governor/CEO of a whole state .

It’s a shame!

Olowunl01:
Do you mean he sat for WAEC in 2008?

Yes now. The guy only brushed himself up recently.

He's just like Adeleke who didn't take education serious until he started thinking of political ambitions

Olowunl01:
You must be joking, would you make this person CEO of your company? No one set him up, it shows lack of preparation on his part, if he knew his limitations he could have just instructed them to put it at the rounded figure he finally settled for... Or send your deputy to present it naa

Gbam!

The fact that he didn't do the bolded despite knowing his own weak point shows he actually doesn't know anything. It's not just maths he doesn't know, he doesn't know a whole lot of things.

GloriousGbola:
Actually more like someone on his team is careless or set him up.

They could have written out the figure, which is what is done on checks, bank instructions and financial documents in general.

Number and text

I actually have an adding in excel that wrote out numbers as text when required. Because if you are tired you can make a mistake

Baba nobody set him up, Monday na olodo; It's as simple as that.

The funny thing is that in his scandalous WAEC result available online, It was only mathematics he managed to pass with C5

izzou:
[color=royalblue]We have really fallen so bad as a nation.

See the governor of a state; He cannot even read his own budget...in 2024
[/color]

That's why I get amused when educated people make silly statements like " A candidate does not need to attend debate to win an election"...." He doesn't need to attend interviews at AriseTV or Channels to be voted governor".....etc.

Shortly after this guy was declared winner of the election and was going about prostrating, his media team shared a short video of him speaking and APC supporters were farming with it online. They claim he can speak fluent English and just decided to foool the opposition by avoiding interviews and debates. They claimed he is eloquent, but it was a strategy on his part to avoid interviews and debates.

But look at him today. How does he intend to move his state forward when he can't even gather and express his thoughts to his people, potential investors and the world at large?

iamoyindamola:
Baba see figures confuse🤣🤣🤣

Not everyone can be good with figures

He should've done rehearsal at home na.

Ishilove:
Buhahahaha!!!

Imagine this man trying to pitch his government's vision & programmes to potential foreign investors.

You beat me to it

Oya quickly recite this number

567, 352, 234, 983.00


_{Why are you guys mocking a guy with dyslexia tho}

Ministry of budget and planning cook figures for baba finish, to call out the figure turn war

I used to think Adeleke of Osun was funny, but it seems oga Monday will be more fun

iamoyindamola:
Thi as always been the issue with how movie producers potray these terrorists
They always die like chicken with no coordination or plan

Na normal level.

America go do film and portray Iranians, Russians as villians.

Chinese dey do films dey portray Americans as imperialists who come to steal from their land with Butt of gun( All those Jet Li and Jackie Chans film dem)

Na normal culture war. Our own is just to watch for the entertainment value

Theflint1 Come and carry ur governor

iamoyindamola:
Now I see why they are angry
For real life not all will make it

They didn't die because they were more coordinated in their assault unlike the Iranians who were just rushing to their death. Joe's team is a QRF team, they are portrayed as war machines who can survive the rigors of any war condition provided they stick to plans.

That was exactly what played out. The only person that deviated from the plan was Tucker that refused to leave the gun truck, but he still had the snipers covering for him while he was smoking other Iranian troops advancing from other side.

Ellexy:
Thought this nigga was definitely not gonna make it.

They had snipers covering for them na and they also had high ground as advantage over their enemies.

The snipers were taking out the people that intended to take them out. If the snipers were not there, they would've long been killed either through RPG or by superior fire power

iamoyindamola:
Bout to watch it
I read people are complaining none of them died, not after they lost someone in the first episode

Yeah, nobody died but they saw death at a very close distance.

They were broken by the battle sha cos even Joe cried. Even the other tough lady (Can't remember her name)

Iamoyindamola Lioness season 2 went closed out with a bang. The battle scene was lit

Ballzproblem2:
Israeli Aircraft are now targeting al-Shayrat Airbase to the South of Homs, one of the Main Bases of the Former Syrian Air Force, consisting of 2 Runways and at least 40 Hardened Aircraft Shelters.

Israel being proactive 🔥🔥

I just read that Israel has wiped out the entire Syrian Air Force fleet . They don’t want a repeat of what happened in Afghanistan when America withdrew from the country and expensive military hardware fell to the hands of the Taliban.

They are indeed being proactive

iamoyindamola:
Na fast forward I they do when I see 2 males in a stupid position

The whole thing dey tire person jare

Ibime:
Do you hear the Nigerian accent in Osi? I could instantly tell he was Nigerian from his accent. Both him and Kemi Badenoch have certain vowels where they giveaway their Nigerian accent

I didn’t even know he was Nigerian initially . Saw the name Chukwudi Iwuji in the cast for the first episode , I paused the video , googled the name and saw his picture . That was how I know he was Nigerian even before hearing his accent .

Even the Osi they called him in the series seem like an abbreviation of an Igbo name . I guess the producers knew his accent couldn’t be hidden so they just portrayed him as a British of Nigerian descent .

Sportsweb:
you must swallow gaybriel vibes because what they showed in episode means the show will revolve around Gaybriels.

Is it more GAY than “Industry” ?

Omo they pushed GAYbriel agenda in that series gan . Just that the show itself had so many good vibes that would make u overlook their GAYbriel agenda .

daveP:
If those guys finish above us, by premium standards that's tilting to a bad season for the club.

I hope this January window makes the difference. I really pray it does. Im tired of going back and forth over guys that can't rake in goals or show up when it matters most.

Xhaka is 1/4 player i said Arteta is yet to directly replace. That guy knows the move to make to make a difference even if we seem to be flourishing in possession. Rather a game reader than a zombie.

Anybody that reads the way u hype Xhaka will think he was a big game decider before Arteta came into the team .

If anything sef , it was Arteta being patient and giving Xhaka a second chance that made him to be considered as a player u can even mention as decent for us. I mean the same Xhaka that was always racking up red cards and getting beat by opposition players in the heart of midfield ?

Xhaka was an average player up until his last season with us. All these talks of not replacing him making us bad holds no water at all. We’ve even performed better than we used since Xhaka left .

One thing I’ve noticed about u is that when u love a player , u just can’t let the love for that player go. Even when the player leaves Arsenal , u will always find a way to bring the player into discussions centered around current situation of the team .

Shegzdave:
You’re right about Arteta tactics limiting the shots of these players, but sometimes we need the players to apply individual brilliance if nothing seems to be working out in outlet Favour as the case was yesterday that Fulham contained us to a large extent

We’ve seen Trossard, Saka , and others use their individual brilliance get us goals before . It’s not every time things will go ur way .

Some days are bad days in the office like yesterday . Every available stat yesterday shows we were the better side and we wanted it more ; we had more ball possession , more shots on and off target . It just wasn’t our day.
