When I saw this post for the first time, I found it disturbing that a popular government appointee was suggesting extra-judicial killings, and wondered why it wasn't trending. It's commendable that it was noticed by other persons and action has been taken by the relevant agencies.

If appointed officials can lose all decorum and make statements like this in public, one can only but wonder the sort of harm they're doing in private. Another legacy of the APC government (especially Lagos state APC) is the absolute rascality of appointed officials. From Tokunbo Wahab to Ridwane and the MyLagosNotYourLagos guy, it's been an absolute mess.

Most likely the suspension is all for optics, cause no be today Dem don dey move mad, but then...

Personally I think Sanwoolu does not have a grip on the public conduct of his aides, media assistants and appointees. Recently I sat down, looked at the administration of Sanwoolu and concluded that he is actually getting a lot of things right in terms of projects being executed and delivering on dividends of democracy in comparison to his peers.

However, he just seem to not have control over those aforementioned officials working with him and they send the wrong signal when they get sucked in by the negativity pervading the social media space and they lose their cool.

This particular Aje guy is one of the guys whose diatribe does more harm than good to Sanwoolu's administration. Being officials of a government , they should do their jobs by portraying the government in good light and not be seen to be using personal bias to respond to naysayers in official capacity. The statement he made that is suggestive of extra judicial killings was needless at the time he made it. It just looks as if he's unhinged and doesn't seem to know the implication of what he was tweeting. I wonder what Sanwoolu himself thinks about their conduct.

I've also come to realize that Tokunbo Wahab is also doing a great job in his own way and won't be a bad choice for the next governor of the state. I really don't know what's going on with him but in the last few days he's been moving like that Gawat boy throwing caution to the wind and wanting to engage in rofo rofo fight with every Tom, Dick & Harry. He no need am at all.

you are almost locked in.

once you reach a particular age, you are not going to continue looking for contemporary music

No be lie. I just find myself disinterested in giving any musician's work serious follow up.

Most times I only get to hear new songs played by DJ at parties and events.

Nowadays when I see people fighting over Davido and Wizkid I go just dey amused say people still dey fight over musicians in 2024.

iamoyindamola:
Music is life
I listen to those you listed but it's not every time you will listen to those old skool
I have several playlists depending on my mood

Maybe technology played a part too Sha. In the past I used to buy CD of Artists like Olamide, 9ice, Wizkid, etc ; listen to it repeatedly and critique like other people do.

Nowadays I'm not even moved one bit when I hear say any musician release any album.

I prefer just listening to all those old, tested and trusted music which we never appreciated our parent's taste in music when they were playing them back then. Imagine me singing Ebenezer obey " ara mi ye ṣe pẹ̀lẹ́ pẹ̀lẹ́ " with passion 😩

iamoyindamola:
He's causing mayhem jare with those incantation
Do you know Shazam struggle to get majority of his songs lyrics
The way the guy looks is how his music sounds

Una wey still dey listen to and look forward to these new artistes' album, Una dey try o. I can't remember the last time I was ecstatic about any musician releasing an album be it Wizkid, Davido, Burnaboy, etc.

The onlt time I really think about music nowadays is when driving. I just go Spotify, stream Ebenezer Obey, Sunny Ade, Shina Peter's, Dayo Kujore, etc and once I park that's the end.

When I see people dissecting and discussing all these Wizkid and Davido music, I really envy them Sha cos dem really get enough free time to be able to do that

Many restaurants have dress codes. Some are bringing their family with underage children to eat and not to see boobs

Executive director and his wife are coming or dinner, CFO and his wife, Consultant doctor and his wife, Senator and his wife, then you want to come dressed in material wey no reach head scarf.

Some restaurants wont even allow open toes shoes for men, No Tshirt, Or just state that they want you dressed business casual

An example of a restaurants dress code

We enforce a smart, upscale style code Friday and Saturday evenings. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress! Anyone wearing athletic wear or caps, baggy clothing, running shoes or construction boots and/or graphic t-shirts will not be permitted access. Our style code is upheld at the discretion of door staff and management.

Exactly what I was trying to tell Popi.

The fact that some of these upscale restaurants are close to Ur house in Lekki or VI axis does not mean they will allow u in if u show up looking all tacky. Nobody wants their target customers like big execs to be eating in the same space with a yahoo boy wearing sagged pants and slides or an mgbeke dressing like phyna.

If dem allow u in just for today and their regular customers stop coming because of that, where will they make up for that when they have bills to pay? Some of the spaces they even use are paid for in dollars per square meters.

popizaino:
You are more likely to be judged by your dressing at a mama-put than at a up-scale restaurant. I don't rule out the restaurant being own by a radical Muslim extremist that believes that dressing is what's not and if it is not,then you can't tell me Ayra star would be treated the same way if she dress the same way to this so called upscale restaurant.

It's like u don't know some of those restaurants have strict policies which revolves around the kind of customers they intend to attract.

There are restaurants who don't allow pictures to be taken simply because they know how some ladies will come in, buy one milkshake and spend hours snapping up & down without freeing table for next customers.

There are also restaurants like this one ghat bounced phyna who don't want ladies displaying their boob's which some of their classic customers may find appalling

Itsrm:
I was going to say this. Most of these girls are moving mad these days. I'm hearing that even the ones who stand on the road in GRA at night now quote 40-50k.

[b{If he booked any of these tiktok or Instagram "celebrities" for the weekend then it's easy to see how he blew the money.[/b]

Wo, that guy just lied unprovoked ni jare. Even if he carries all those IG and TikTok baddies, there's no how he will blow over N4m on them within two days ( If the UK minimum wage calculation TrebleChamp did is anything to go by).

The guy na banza!

popizaino:
Yes, they are unreasonable. Are they there to police people's dressing or to sell food?

lolz.

U think the restaurant is normal buka or mamput which is an all-comers affair? The restaurant is obviously an upscale restaurant reserved for classy customers and not some mgbeke dressing like someone attending AGM(Ashawo General Meeting)

popizaino:
Nigerians/blackman don't know what they want. Had Davido said the economy of the country was good and that people should come home and invest,these same people would have still called him out saying na because him papa get money. As for me,i have no problem with whatever anyone is saying,so far he is saying the truth.

I don't even understand their outrage sef. Person talk say economy is not doing well dem.dey Para. They are acting as if this is not same economy MTN, Nestlé, Nigeria Breweries and other multinational made substantial losses last year.

Shey a potential investor needs to rely on David's view to form an opinion about investing or not investing in Nigeria?

Because I don't want to believe it was the Chinese version you guys have been analysing[/color]

It's a black American series that involved CIA funding war efforts with drug money. It also involved all those Columbian cartel

Theflint1:
Lol, they know, Davido is the current object of their blame game, they'd move to another person once they've exhausted this one. Anything but accept responsibility for their failings.

Dem no serious at all.

[quote author=Theflint1 post=133031831]Na so wetin Davido talk take pain

Lovers of Nigeria will soon run mad.

‘When the President takes a plane to a country to look for foreign investors that will comes here, he has told them do not come- TVC presenter, Akashat Ny’mat, knocks Davido for going on US radio programme to say Nigeria’s economy is in shambles pic.twitter.com/0hVzsXWbSM

she go warm eba chop jare.

Na dem know wetin dey vex them.

No real investor will avoid investing in Nigeria because of what Davido said or didn't say. Investors are not muntulas that will invest their funds based what was said on a podcast, they work with verifiable data.

TemporaryHansel:
Even Canadian loud wouldn't make him spend the equivalent of his monthly spending in the UK within a day in Nigeria. How much is Canadian loud? Before he smoke 50k own he don off oh.

Abi maybe he takes Cocaine or any other expensive hard drugs

seankafor:
there is this domino pizza 🍕 spot I went sometimes ago to chill, 2 guys and a lady entered.. this lady was wearing one gown that was hanging to her waist, her buttocks was clearly showing.... And she drew tattoo all over her laps.. lol, imagine if this kind lady enter this kind place wey Dem ban this bbnaija girl.. na police 🚨🚓 Dem for call 🤙 to arrest

U know decency requires one to dress well in some public places. Some high networth customers may get pissed seeing someone like that lady dressing classless

TemporaryHansel:
She no get doings. Some people have money(or claim to) but don't know how to use it at all.

She doesn't have class at all.

This BBN lady was denied entry at a restaurant for her indecent dressing and she thinks they were unreasonable.

Me I think they did the right thing. If u Wan naked, just stay for ur house and be naked in peace.

Emaprince:
It may come a time when incest will be normalized. It will be shoved down every ones throat as usual, it will be in the movies, sports and at schools, kids will be thought that its cool if a brother find his sister sexually attractive, and both can decide yo marry or make babies...and you will be asked whether it affects your life if you ever feel appalled by the practice.

I dey tell u. With the way these people are moving, we may not be far away from that point o.

Ibime:
I feel you bro

You are preaching to the choir but that's not our argument. Na wetin we dey discuss be this

I think the author of that tweet just wants to farm engagement for Elon Musk's money. His post doesn't make sense.

There is no how he will spend equivalent of his 1 month salary in the UK within 2 days in Nigeria. Except Canadian loud , Cocaine or crack is part of his daily expenses.

GloriousGbola:
obligatory meme

does this mean anything other than penetrative missionary procreation is an abomination to you, though? any sex that does not result in pregnancy?

and if you try google, you will see that for whatever reason, homosexuality actually does exist in nature

Read my post again, I don't know from where u are inferring the bolded.

if i look deep enough i will find threads/posts where his incarceration in a mental institution was celebrated

Well, it's his family members that know what they observed before dragging him to a mental facility. It doesn't make it right.

Now let me address the big elephant in the room ; Sodomy. (Notice I called what it is; sodomy and not some fancy word like LGBTQ, homosexual, etc)

It is alien to our culture, moral values and normal laws of nature. It's despicable to say the least. What happiness is there in men inserting their penis in another man's anus and claim they are expressing their sexual orientation? Has anybody been birthed through such abominable acts before?

It will never make sense to me and I'm glad it is criminalized in this country.

Emaprince:
Damn...my nigga.

This is disturbing

As in, the day I saw the guy's picture and even watched the video I nearly puked.🤮 Just take a look at how he's moving in the video

so whats the difference?

The link u posted is about Blasphemy. He was taken to the hospital check if he was okay in the head and was discharged afterwards. Everybody knows Blasphemy is a crime under the penal code they operate in the North. Nobody will take u to court if u stopped observing the 5 times daily muslim prayer, it is when u start cussing and inciting others who are adherents of the religion that will make them ship u to a psychiatric hospital and possibly get convicted.

It's just like driving against traffic and being taken to a mental facility to check if the person is okay in the head to have committed the crime.

GloriousGbola:
from your posts - your late dad was a muslim. that is what i have surmised. you are either a christian or agnostic. as a devout muslim, your late dad should have been mortified that his son decided to become an apostate kaffir. from an islamic perspective, apotasy is an abomination punishable by death. so what should your dad have done to his wayward son?

_{dont be offended ooo}




if you are concerned about children, you should be far more worried about catholic priests who actually have an extensive record of molesting children and being covered up.

How do u equate a mental illness(sodomy) to religious beliefs?

TemporaryHansel:
Maybe he's happy now? What matters is if they're happy or comfortable, not outward appearance. Satisfaction can come in different forms.

Do you know if he wasn't living a happy life when he was "normal"? Should they live an unhappy life because they want to appear "normal" to the society?

Nobody changes what benefits them. If being normal sucked for them, it's okay to change. I don't judge people.

So u will be cool if ur own child's happiness is inside abominable acts like Sodomy? 😏

It is well with u 👍

TemporaryHansel:
Idk why conservatives are always triggered by such trivial and irrelevant issues. Why tf should you be bothered by what another person choose to identity as? Speaking for myself here, I don't give a fvck what any baggar choose to identity as, if you like claim to be an eagle, I'll address you as the eagle you claim to be. Life is too short for all this intolerance, as long as nobody is forcing their beliefs on you, it's all good.

Conservatives and liberals are just complicating everything for nothing.

Easier said than done. Keep thinking it's all cool and nice till ur pikin end up like this former sound city presenter.

That's because you are an infrequent user. If you followed more people, the stuff you click from Nairaland will be crowded out by the people you follow. So the more you follow one type of link, the more weighting is applied to that type of content.

Every Social Media algorithm is based on spanning trees where vertex weighting is applied to the content/sites you have seen before and based on what others are linking to. They are all modified versions of HITS, Kruskals and Prims algorithm.

So when you have more varied connections, the weighting reduces on something you randomly see whereas if you keep seeing the same type of content, it will keep increasing the weighting until that becomes the dominant content you see. It is literally living in The Matrix.

Example below - Sites A, B and C all start with weighting of 1, but because B is linked by both A and C, it becomes the dominant site with final weighting of 1.5, while C reduces to 0.5 as it only collects link from A (which splits its power of 1 evenly between B and C). So any algorithm will direct you to B henceforth

This is the Google Page Rank Algorithm which is based on HITS algorithm.

Your explanation actually makes sense. I guess it's because I'm an infrequent user as u posited.

Ibime:
I have only ever used Twitter to follow Crypto accounts. It's when you follow people that the algorithm will suggest stuff to you, so all my suggestions are crypto related.

This is not always true, at least my own experience differs to urs.

Personally I don't even use twitter at all until recently when people share links here and I click those links to see what's on them. What I noticed is that when u click those links and watch the video/read the thread, u need not follow the author before similar posts start popping up on ur "For You" page.

I don't even follow nor tweet at these people but somehow they just keep popping up . There's no way I will follow a character like Reno, but his tweets will pop cos I have clicked on his posts shared by users here in the past.

This is not the right approach. The Allied Powers paid the price for treating Germans like trash because they lost World War 1. Nazi Party in Germany was very popular among the Germans because the party denounced the heavy financial reparations & other limitations placed on Germany. The result is that two decades later, Europe were already fighting another hot war which could have been prevented. Now, imagine if Nazi Germany got nuclear weapon before the Allied Powers?

There's a reason while the average Japanese in Okinawa didn't feel discriminated against because Japan lost the war World War II, rather there were economic opportunities for everyone just like in US mainland.

As far as the Israeli discrimination, aggression continues in the occupied territory there will always be resistance. It will be worse for Israeli security when those sponsoring the resistance go nuclear.

The question is what have Palestinians done with opportunities presented to their citizens abroad. Have they been living peacefully with their neighbors in the west or they exported their jihadist mindset with them? PLO literally orchestrated the killings of Israeli athletes in Munich at the 1972 Olympics . They've been going about hijacking planes here and there and you wonder why they are referred to as terrorists.

Did any of the countries u mentioned above go about doing all these after losing a war? There is no justification for all the Palestinians have been doing over the years and that is why they are being treated by the Jews that way;as terrorists. Nobody will cower to a terrorist state, talk more of allowing them to acquire nuclear weapons with their radical view of how the world should look like.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
That's why as an African you must be on the side of "Justice &Equity" because injustice to one is injustice to all.
Gaza has been under land, sea and air blockade for decades, heck the people of Gaza are prohibited from collecting rain water because rain water is the property of the Israeli authority even against United Nations Resolution calling Israel to lift the blockade. But people like you only remember October 7th, 2023.

If the world refused to pressure Israel to stop their illegal aggression in the Gaza Strip, then they shouldn't cry about Houthi blockade of the Red Sea. For the Houthis in Yemen, they are only targeting unfriendly vessel, they want to make the war expensive for Israel by crippling her ports.

People don't like to remember only October 7 2023, people remember as far back as 1947. The terrorist DNA of the Palestines is why they are being dealt with in 2024.

The Palestines had a chance to peacefully coexist with the state of Israel as far back as 1947 but they chose to go to war with them which gbey lost woefully. What do u think happens when u lose a war? The Victor will consolidate power and lord over u for as long as they can maintain that lordship.

If the Palestinians had created their own state alongside the Jewish state back then, will probably be relating with them band for band. In fact they may be a world Power by now. Instead they foolishly entered a war with coalition of Arab countries which they lost and that changed the tide of things in the middle east.

The fact that the Palestinians kept on engaging in terrorist activities which they termed resistance didn't warm the world powers to them. They were carrying out plane hijack, bombings etc in the 70's. Nobody will fight for u if they see u moving the way the Palestines did. They are victims of their own misadventures.

We are in 2024 and nobody will cower for a state that is responsible for the death of over 1000 people in a terror attack on October 7 2023. If they keep up with their way of doing things, nothing will change for them.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
It's not a good thing. These commercial shipping vessels will have to take longer route. As an in import dependent economy, e no fit dey favour us

Exactly! It makes prices of imported stuff costlier than it should be cos when there's delay in goods getting to the sellers as a result of the blockade, those ones will hike their price.

Away from the banters we always have here about the west vs the east, all these their unending wars actually have serious economic impact on even we Africans that are not parties to their wars because of our dependence on importation.

In fact, since the Ukraine vs Russia war, most international insurance companies have excluded coverage for any vessel that passes the black sea because of war risk. Insurance company don't want to pay millions of dollars as compensation if u pass black sea and either Ukraine or Russia missile go meet u. The few insurers willing to cover war risk as it partains to voyage on the black sea charge excessively high because of the level of risk involved. And guess what? That cost will be passed down to me and u who are the final consumer of the goods

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Propaganda from lame stream media. Houthis are already busy with the blockade of Red Sea.

Do u think the blockade of the red sea by Houthis is a good thing for an average person?

All the people I know that are into business are complaining bitterly. At the moment it's hard making reasonable profit on any type of business in Nigeria. Investing in Nigeria is a loss making venture.

But that shit shouldn't be coming from davido. The same way some people said Betty shouldn't called Nigeria a zoo because she's part of the problem. Well, davido's family are also part of the problem. 😎

What do you think @blueraydick

I don't believe in telling people not to complain whether they are rich or poor. Davido spoke generally and didn't say it is APC that is ruining the country. He simply said our economy is in shambles and it's true.

Earlier today I was in a gathering someone narrated his recent experience I nearly shed a tear. A married man with 2 kids spoke about how he was dead broke few weeks ago. His wife told him there was absolutely nothing at home to prepare for their son to take to nursery school and his pocket was empty.

They took the child to school without packing any lunch. After the wife kept nagging, He had to go meet a POS merchant close by, cooked up story and got 3k from the guy claiming he's waiting for a transfer from one of his customer. It was that 3k they used to arrange food and send to the child before lunch break.

As the father, it was garri he took that day just to survive. He said things are really hard. This is someone who runs a business but business has not been moving as before. These things breaks a man; I had to squeeze something his palms Las Las.
