No update about ibd dende till now and some 3 foolish wise men decided to gamble with their lives

Dem no wise at all considering they most likely live in the same community with the smugglers.

They got a rare second chance
What were they thinking in the first place
They want to be heroes in Naija

They were trying to be patriotic at the expense of their life in this Jungle.

I pledge to Nigeria my country, to be faithful, loyal and honest would have ended these patriotic men

Snitches get stiches.

They made the mistake of reporting criminals(smugglers) to bigger criminals(Customs officer). They snitched on Smugglers and Customs officers snitched on them back.

Na Customs officers be the biggest winners taking away the spoils of war

Itsrm:
Chai. See people wey I dey defend

Obvious the "immediate investigation" is a ruse.

Obviously. The army internal investigation is not going to yield anything that will favour the victim

For context, the army officer involved is a Major General; He is just a step below the acting Chief of Army Staff in rank(A lieutenant General) . There is no way in hell they will throw the major general under the bus for a "bloody civilian".

The best bet is for the victim to just get a good lawyer, sue the army and hope he gets something substantial as compensation for the beatings. That's the only form of justice he can get in this matter.

Itsrm:
There are circumstances under which beating an individual is justified?

E shock u?

Naija pastorpreneurs don carry Yoruba demon ethos into their pastoral work. The most confident and stizz-filled lamba comes out of their mouths.

If they don’t give it to us , how will we take it ? 😁

Ibime:
If you check the video you will see this woman in the crowd in absolute ecstasy at the announcement. I just felt like dropping grenade on her, how foolish can our people be

People like this woman came for the Lamba and nothing more . It is that Lamba that fuels their faith ; you will be surprised that she will share that same lamba with her friends & family with so much glee and excitement .

Be like na the black Elon Musk dem dey refer to, though I'm not now sure where Femi Lazarus got the 10M gist from, cause even Christ Embassy didn't mention how much the top contributor gave.

Lady Presenter : Let’s put our hands together for brother Elon Musk

* A random black guy whose yansh is as black as mine walks up to the stage to pick an award *. 😂😂😂😂

This is epic fooling at its best . Ajeh !

Roland17:
I remember Naija Uni days when men go organize awards, use UN or other global organizations logos as affiliates take sell awards to politicians, pastors, business men and big guys in the society.

No be today!

You know these things ! 😂

It’s just like using C Ronaldo on Apron as the picture on ur Frozen foods shop poster . You go see C Ronaldo on Apron cutting frozen Chicken

Theflint1:
E fit be say the 10m na over several years

I no just wan easily believe say Chris go their throw lamba anyhow like this, expect say no be from e church, but then Femi Lazarus follow chook mouth, and im sef get clout.

Nobody is bigger than lamba na . You feed ur congregation what they need to hear . If na lamba go convince them or story u heard from someone that heard from another person; then u must feed them .

A man’s got to eat .

Theflint1:
I don't think he would, but then why would they make a statement like that about an active public personality that would in his one of 100 tweets per day tweet one denial.

Well maybe na say I don too underestimate the level of lamba Naija preachers would throw, even for physical matters that can easily be verified.

The bold is exactly the situation of things . You underestimate the kind of words Nigerian preachers can throw around .

Na so Oyakhilome talk say na 5G cause COVID-19 and had his members believing same . Today we all know that was epic fooling in the face of hard evidence .

I like Femi Lazarus normally cos e Dey motivate person with his short clips , but this one no follow .

Ihebu4chelsea:
That news is somehow.

Na real somehow......

The way we just call money anyhow in this country ehn..... So Elon Musk donated $10m to Oyakhilome ministries just like that? 😂

The $1m he drop and the clout for Trump presidency , alaye don collect instant gratification within few weeks after Trump clinched the coveted seat.

So what is the motivation for a capitalist like Musk to drop 10 million kpa for Oyakhilome’s book publishing ? If Oyakhilome was going to use the funds for charity /feeding the poor ; I fit wan believe the story small

Shegzdave:
Afuni mawobe😂

😂😂😂

Àwọn eyan money na water

Theflint1:
Assuming the source of the information is indeed from Christ Embassy, is it impossible for the church to have written to Elon Musk for support for Rhapsody of Realities (I believe they do) and he'd help with funding.

So u believe Elon Musk will push $10m to Pastor Chris make e dey use publish Rhapsody of Realities? 😂😂😂😂

Who do you think Elon Musk is?

Itsrm:
It is. Without them laying their lives on the line, me and you won't sleep with two eyes closed. Every soldier that dies in battle died to keep you safe.

6 division in PH is one of our clients and I go out of my way to satisfy them. Things I wouldn't do for other clients, I easily do for them.

Truth is, you won't do their job for any amount. Neither will I.

The bold is true but it is not just for Nigerian soldiers. For every Israeli soldier that dies in battle with Hamas, Hezbollah and other groups, a Jew somewhere gets to sleep with his eyes close.

But u don't see a Jew wishing death on an Israeli soldier because apart from the fact that an Israeli soldier puts his life on the line in the war front, he doesn't go home to oppress the same Jew he was fighting for on the war front. The Israeli soldier gets love and respect because he commands it with his actions and inactions. The same applies to most military men In different parts of the world.

When a military like ours don't act right, what you see is what you get.

We can't do the soldiers' job and so also they can't do ours. Respect should be reciprocal. Soldiers should not go on a spree of beating up citizens to get respect from them. Let them act right and people will respect them.

Several times I've given soldiers chance to be attended to ahead of me because I respect them for their service. But if a soldier beats me up on the road I will not only wish he dies a terrible death, but that his mutuals too follow him to hell.

I just hope no be this same brain this one Wan use dey advise kids when he becomes an elder 😩.

raumdeuter:
You dont hear 1 because

1. they are only about 1/7th of Nigeria population so for every 1 story they have we are expected to have 7. Then you are not plugged into their online world as you are with Nigeria

Just google police brutality in Ghana

https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/Police-brutality-A-flagrant-violation-of-human-rights-1793576

2. Nigerians are more Aluta minded than Ghanaians and other Africans. A Nigerian is more likely to challenge authorities

So police brutality is in Ghana on Nigeria's scale but the people who have social media access in Ghana don't bring it to social media?

Why is it that we hear about every other thing happening in Ghana on social media but we have to google to find out about brutality issues?

If u read through my post again without any bias in ur mind , u will see where I clearly stated that "we don't hear much about brutality" . I no talk say e no dey happen at all.

Just look at a whole Major General behaving like a common tout.

The only difference between the major general in the video and a regular NURTW agbero is just the color of their uniform 🤮

GloriousGbola:
That is the brits legacy to the countries they colonized. The armys role was to put the natives in check. The army in almost any British former colony had the same contempt and the same term - bloody civilian.

I think its just our own military here in Nigeria and few African countries still running Military government that are moving mad.

Ghana that is our close door neighbor, we don't hear much about their military brutality against citizens on the scale we have in Nigeria. Countries like India too are British ex-colony and we no dey hear all these kind bizarre tales of human right abuse from their military

Theflint1:
It's always easy to say how people should react in these sort of situations when it's not you going through it in real-time.

There's nothing to prove exactly what happened between the army people and the civilian. Maybe the guy was doing agidi, maybe not...these army guys are generally lawless and when they're in that their convoy mood, they don't care if your moving means causing an accident, you just have to get outta their way.

Maybe the guy in question, e steering no dey work as e suppose, and that'd mean he can't get off the road as quickly as other persons did, but the army guys no go wan understand.

The only evidence we have is of the army guys attacking him, I'm not sure how I'd personally react in real-time, and there's no guarantee that begging sef would have saved him from being brutalized either. Maybe na as e prostrate dey beg dem, one of the army guys go use boot match am where no good, then story go con be say the guy for dey guide even as e dey beg.

Nothing's guaranteed when dealing with criminals in uniform that are aware they can do anything and get away with it.

Imagine beating a man in the presence of his wife over what's hardly anything...even the wife sef wasn't spared the brutality.

God bless you.

I've witnessed where soldiers brutalized a man who was lying on the ground weeping profusely and begging them. So all those talks about that the guy should've begged them or be rolling on the floor to appeal to them I know na just Okpata yarns. They will still assault him because they are not reasonable humans like people are trying to portray them.

GloriousGbola:
The Ebang Baltasar of Yoruba nollywood.

The difference is that MC doesn't really go about sleeping with people's wives. He sleeps with unamarried women, divorcees and those willing to leave their man for him.

E no commit offence

iamoyindamola:
That’s why I really want him out
I am curious to see how these actresses will survive

He's not the only they are getting money from na. Agberos plenty wella , so also are several Alhaji's , chiefs and Chairmen wey dey "bless" them.

They will survive

iamoyindamola:
I hate that guy and whatever he stands for
Make them squeeze him neck well

U hate the benefactor of all Nollywood Yoruba actresses

iamoyindamola:
Soldiers that fired live rounds on harmless protesters

Dem say na blank dem fire. Na this same place people make that argument in favor of Nigerian army

Prince of lagos in the mud

I don't think this is the national secretariat. I'm guessing this is the Lagos state secretariat and they are evacuating his belongings since Sego is now the new state chairman.

Probably his opps just use the video press him neck over the appeal court ruling. But I don't this this video has anything to do with that appeal court matter

iamoyindamola:
They are not justifying what the army man did
They are blaming the guy because he knows better intact everyone knows this will end it
The country is lawless the best thing is to try as much as possible not to be involve with them because you will collect beating and still nothing will come out of it
Why not just avoid the situation and pretend or let everyone be happy
X will only create hashtag and shout nothing not even sorry will come out
Same country an army cone out to insult sanwoolu for dealing with army that passed one way😂😂

The guy did not drag with them na. On the contrary, they wanted to drag the guy and beat him up(Same thing they would've done if he had gone to meet them).

Anybody who thinks the moment those soldiers dropped from their vehicle they had any plan not to assault the guy, such person is joking.

raumdeuter:
The other road users were able to clear quick, but he did not. There was a reason they singled him out of everyone. Normal normal when a Major General dey pass, the junior officers would have cleared that road and stopped all traffic for about 10mins before his car reach.

Its about whether you want to be right or you want to be alive

So it's everybody that will have place to clear to when a convoy suddenly appears from nowhere?

Na wa o. The way una dey always spin obvious things in this country ehn....U will leave the person that has acted the wrong way and start blaming the victim.

See about 3 months ago I was in a convoy and the combined police + soldier escort was leading our vehicle to clear the road. We got to a part of the city where the road was in very bad state and the escort were blowing siren to clear the road.

As much as several motorists made way for us, few couldn't get where to maneuver. It took two soldiers going to the front of the line to clear the junction before we could move further. Would it have made any sense if those soldiers chose to beat on the motorists by our side without anywhere to clear instead?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I am not blaming the victim, but I am old enough to know that Nigeria is lawless, and gone.

Infact, I would be daydreaming, to expect a Soldier to behave, or any personnel.

The goal is to stay alive. If that Major had shot that guy, shebi we will tweet, he would be arrested and dismissed and jailed. Can that guy come back?

If you are expecting a Soldier to behave well in 2024, you just left me in a state of shock.

Stay alive oh. The Banker wey police kill for Ajah don go. Officer dey do life in prison, but person wife and mother don go forever. [/color]

okay

Shegzdave:
These guys keep justifying why Nigeria is called a jungle

Exactly! And see people trying to justify bad behaviour and blaming the victim.

Truly if dem explain this country give u and u understand, the person no explain well

Ibime:
He is not the first to collect slap for not clearing road for siren, and he won't be the last.

Before they even reach his car, he should be apologising with good grace and humble body language. The only reason they gave him more than slap is because he was raking.

Where should he clear to? Inside gutter?

Since u know the soldiers will always assault u when they desire to, why then are u making it seem like apologizing would've made them "forgive" him?

If ordinary citizens would not be critical of bad behavior to at least send a message that we are no longer in military era; then we shouldn't be critical when they kill a citizen while they are assaulting him o.

raumdeuter:
When you hear siren you rush off the road. This was a very lucky victim, Many have tried it and not alive to tell their stories

Where do u rush off to on a busy road? Didn't see where the victim said the sidewalk was also crowded?

If u watch the video u will see Keke moving on that road as well. Except u are saying the driver should've ram into other road users?
