If you were to be the driver what will you do?

Lets be realistic, The best line of action was to obey people with a gun. He escaped today another person might not be so fortunate next time

Before u people start bring all kinds of narrative, this is the narration of the victim.

This is obviously a case of the army blowing siren and driving other road users off the road.

They probably beat the guy up cos he didn't clear off the road as fast as they wanted him to.

If I was in his shoes I would've gotten beat up as well cos I know there's nothing that will placate the useless ediots in uniform.

Blaming the victim just doesn't make sense when we all know the soldiers will assault u the moment they set their mind to do so

Ibime:
He doesn't need to do something wrong or right, he just needs to show proper comportment rather than shouting while sitting in his car. That's for his own safety. Wrong or right doesn't matter. MIGHT is RIGHT.

How do u show comportment when armed soldiers jumped down from their vehicle, corner u behind the steering and trying to drag u away? Haba!

Ibime:
I have had encounters with them twice, and observed countless beatings to other citizens. I grew up next to, and spent all my time in Navy Camp.

You see military general you dey provoke dey sit-down inside car dey bring out camera instead of showing proper comportment. You think say na Yankee you dey? Dem no slap am well, not because he is morally wrong, but he needs the slap for his own safety in dealing with military men going forward.

The problem here is u like the rest of the people blaming the guy didn't even know what exactly happened but u are assuming he did something wrong and deserved to be brutalized for it.

The wife obviously brought out camera to get evidence because whether he rolls in the gutter or postrates, they will still assault him.

Na wa o.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So what would you suggest the victim does in such situation?[/color]

I suggest the army personnel behave well and not go about brutalizing people over any slight issue. If he commits a crime they can arrest him and hand over to the appropriate authorities.

It is a misnomer that once u have an encounter with a soldier u automatically assume u will be brutalized.

It is not the victim that should do something , but the soldiers to behave well and not turn him to victim

Ibime:
They are correct, that's just safety advice out of concern for their fellow citizen. Gen Z no Sabi proper procedure when dealing with military.

They are wrong !

There's nothing u will do that will save u from being brutalized at that point. It seems u've never had encounter with those useless soldiers in company of their oga's before.

The only thing that will save u is not being in that position at all. If u like begin roll on the floor, dem go match u for ground.

The guy's lawyer has written to the chief of army staff demanding for the sack of the Major-General and his orderly. He also demanded for N150m as damages.

Unfortunately I doubt justice will be served. I won't be surprised if the army spokesperson comes out to defend the Major-General and just rubbish the victim with one allegation. Nigerian army can be shameless like that.

To him that guy is a bloody civilian. That is a sub-human species.

Omo! Shiiit is crazy.

I saw some ediots in the comment section blaming the guy saying he should've come down from the car and be "humble" ; as if the wicked soldiers would not have stamped on him with their boots if he did so.

It's one thing to be oppressed in this country, it's another thing to see Ur fellow citizen arguing in favor of Ur oppressor.😩

Unlimited22:
That person is not a Major.

That's a 2-star.

That is a Major General.


Christ.

Imagine. Major-General and he's moving that way.

Another case of brutality pic.twitter.com/Dsf1hjcnU5

A Major in the Nigerian army actively taking part in brutalizing a citizen in broad daylight.

Shame! 🤮

What is economic prosperity with just an exponential growth in Gdp without insignificant infrastructure?. Abeg miss me with trying to project obj as an economic genius.

Obj didn't perform any magic on the economic. In 2006,our population was barely 150m and we were exporting over 2m barrels per day while selling at record high. Now the population is over 250m and struggling to export to 1.4m barrel per day with decline in oil prices. Whether you like it or not,it is on the record that he embezzled $16b to produce darkness, which we are currently still experiencing today.

Look at u struggling to argue urself out of a box. So by your own admission OBJ's tenure witnessed exponential GDP growth but somehow he is not an economic genius ba? So what is he ? Economic dumbass? Or better still let me ask you: What is Tinubu? economic genius raise to power 100?

You just have problem with accepting facts. You claimed he didn't have any significant infrastructure to show (which is false) , I showed u just one which is still visible till today as confirmed by a serving minister......Yet u still want to stick ur uninformed view. When u are ready to disabuse ur mind, u will read the several rebuttals OBJ has done on the $16billion story.

Look at you talking about Nigeria struggling to export 1.4m barrels per day as if that in itself is not a failure of the current leadership of the country. If Nigeria could export enough crude during OBJ's era it only means his government had a grip on security back then.

Theflint1:
No they shouldn't, they must continue shouting OBJ's name with eyes red and mucus dripping from their nose.

People that are known for tapdancing around the many evils of the APC-led government will suddenly find their voice and righteous anger when OBJ gets mentioned...at least OBJ gave you economic prosperity while rigging elections, what have you gotten from APC despite them rigging elections blatantly?

OBJ didn't leave a legacy of good elections, the one Yaradua and GEJ left nko?

They must continue shouting at a ship that's sailed while APC rapes their present and future, that is what's important right now.

The thing is APC is so good with propaganda that people don't even know when they are getting distracted with their propaganda.

As in.... People that lived well under OBJ will be joining Tinubu and his appointees to call OBJ names while everybody can clearly see the misgovernance happening under the same APC.

I never see this kind thing before. Calling OBJ names from today till tomorrow will not cauterize the wound of hardship APC's government has inflicted on everyone.

popizaino:
He should apologise to us (Nigerians) for not laying the foundational infrastructure needed for the country to advance,otherwise he should stfu. He lacks every moral right to criticise any government. The man irritates the hell out of me.

Which foundational insfrastructure are u talking about ? The problem u are having is that u have been sucked-in by APC's propaganda machine to think OBJ's administration was as useless as APC's

Talking about infrastructure, below is what Adelabu a serving minister under the current APC said about OBJ's foundational infrastructure.

Before he came into office, President Bola Tinubu had also accused Obasanjo of spending $16bn on power without corresponding supply of electricity to Nigerians.

But the current Minister of Power, Adedayo Adelabu, said the former President spent $8bn in the nation’s electricity sector, and not the $16bn being reported.

He said it was good that Obasanjo invested the money back then in constructing of power plants across the nation.

Adelabu, who spoke on Channels Television’s News Night programme said the power plants built under Obasanjo’s administration are still visible, stating that seven out of the 10 protects were completed and enough to serve the nation.

However, he regretted the failure to maximise the capacity of these power plants to generate more electricity.

Speaking on the controversial $16bn spending by the Obasanjo administration, Adelabu said, “While I will not sit here and give you facts about what transpired, I was not in the sector then, I can tell you that the 10 Nigerian Integrated Power Projects under President Olusegun Obasanjo, are there for us to see. And I’m aware they spent over $8bn out of the so-called $16bn that people bandied around. We can see those plants today.

“We have two in Olorunsogo, that is Papalanto in Ogun State. We have two in Omotosho, close to Ore in Ondo State. We have one in Benin. We have Egbema that has not been completed. We have in Calabar. We have about 10 of them. I know seven of them were completed and they are under the management of the Nigeria Delta Power Holding Company today. They have capacity totalling about 5,000MW.

“It was good we made those investments then but the issue is, have we really optimised the benefit of those investments. I would say no!” he said.

https://punchng.com/obasanjos-8bn-power-plants-helping-nigeria-minister/

OBJ may have his flaws, but certainly he didn't dump this country into the economic abyss we currently find ourselves. You should focus ur anger at people responsible for that. OBJ's tenure was characterized by economic prosperity contrary what APC propaganda machine would have u believe. The facts are there for objective people to see.

11 people doing the same job of speaking for the presidency and we say we are broke but no evidence of cutting costs 🤷‍♂️

Na suicide mission the guy wan send you go. LOL

Most of the movies on that list are legendary sha but some are as old as Methuselah.

iamoyindamola:
Shey na me go suffer they look for these films abi 🤣🤣🤣

Just they search them one by one on IMDb to see the rating and year

I just checked now, they are indeed very old o.

Probably he thought I was interested in old series and movies.

One day we would talk about the 3rd term agenda which OBJ's opps usually bring up to denigrate him anytime he goes critical on any president(particularly presidents voted in under the rule of APC). Obasanjo is no a saint and nobody would even try to make him one, but lessons need to be taken from his administration and compare it with what we have today.

We will talk about how the house of assembly acted with independence and stood on the side of the people by kicking out the idea of amending the constitution to allow for OBJ's 3rd term.

We need to talk about how house of assembly has now been reduced to rubber stamp that just does the bidding of whoever heads the executive as president.

As much as the HOA and it's leadership were corrupt back then, they still manage to do their jobs of siding with the people and not just rubber stamping everything like we've witnessed in recent years.

I no like that one too, very bloody sport

Yes they did.

See extract from their financials

Normally the South African investors should be asking the CFO of Mutlichoice Nigeria serious questions; questions that should cost people jobs.

This is why I'm not a fan of the sport. How can two adults inflicting serious harm on each other's upper body part be deemed a sport?

Even football that doesn't involve any form of physical violence, people get serious injured by vicious tackles; talk more of a sport that is designed to see who can inflict more pain on the other party .

Okay, will just wait for them to be tru

User09:
Not true.

Their total cash portfolio in Nigeria was just around $39m. Plus there is reason why concentration risk is avoided among companies with good financial/risk management practices

Which is why this is clearly a failure on the part of Multichoice as far as I can see

I never said they do, I said they "may" because ideally multinationals keep different accounts with different banks . I don't have knowledge of their financials so I obviously can't say with full conviction what they have or they don't have.

I was only correcting the impression that Multichoice placed the funds with Heritage because of Saraki or any high level person on Heritage's board. From time to time multinationals place funds with different banks either in form of investment or for just normal operational purposes.

If indeed their current cash portfolio is $39m and they banked $21m with Heritage bank, then surely it is a failure of risk management on their part.

GloriousGbola:
They probably opened the account when Saraki had pull and influence.

I don't think this has anything to do with Saraki's interest in the bank.

It's normal for companies to have funds with different banks. It's only because heritage failed that is making it seem like Multichoice was wrong having funds with them. Banks employ well paid relationship managers who run after companies' finance team for funds placement.

Multichoice may have x5 of that amount with bigger banks like UBA, Zenith, Access, StanbicIBTC, etc.

The only issue here is why does a big company like Multichoice not see heritage bank was sick and didn't pull out their funds early?

Suicideboy:
Drop the genre you prefer

Action, war, political drama, spy/CIA/Mossad themed, Historical(like dem Vikings and Game of thrones), Rome/Epic series, etc

Suicideboy:
Twin peaks

True detective

Twin Peaks is Horror/Mystery Genre; not my preferred Genre at all.

True Detective looks like something I won't like from the little I just read about the plot online.

Iamoyindamola, I think The Penguin is overrated. I've been seeing people referring to it as 9.5/10, 10/10, etc....but after watching it I think those people are overrating it.

It's a good watch obviously, but it's not as solid as they are making it seem.

I enjoyed the first 5 episodes of The day of the jackal; in fact I enjoyed it more than the Penguin sef. When will the remaining episodes be realeased abeg?

Please share me any other series link wey make sense wey u fit recommend.

Theflint1:
I dunno how common this knowledge is sha, maybe within the corporate/big business circles it's common knowledge, but for your average Joe customer, that might not be the case.

Anybody that reads news will hear how well they are doing financially. Nairametrics literally talk about these banks almost every quarter.

Even when the recapitalization was announced earlier this year, there was an article analyzing how banks need to raise before meeting the new capital base. These banks are in good standing compared to others

GloriousGbola:
i agree. but the situation can lead to misconception and manipulation . if someone were to start a rumour that gtb was insolvent - it could prompt a run on the bank leading to artificially induced insolvency. since everything is ultimately about confidence

They have their corporate communication team to deal with those kind of rumors; moreover it is common knowledge the level of GTB's financial stability. I don't think people will really be worried to the extent of dumping the bank.

Theflint1:
Before GT's recent issues, did you consider them one of those banks that can't fail?

And which other banks would you put in the category you've placed Zenith?

What is happening to GTB has nothing to do with their financial position. When I say "FAIL", I'm talking about their financial stability and not service disruption which is happening to GTB. Banks like Access, Zenith, GTB, UBA are actually doing well. They are not in the level of Heritage bank that failed recently, that's the point. Before those banks fail, u would've seen the handwriting on the wall

GloriousGbola:
oceanic bank left the chat

oceanic bank was audited by PWC on the regular before their fall.
likely intercontinental too

i consider zenith to be safe - but you are biased as your madam dey work there

all these corporate org are in bed with news publishers. it is only activist bloggers who can expose bank issues and after the way segun agbaje is dealing with those bloggers [rightly or wrongly] everyone go align

He is actually right about Zenith bank being in very very good standing. At the risk of sounding too overconfident, I can say Zenith is one of the biggest bank that can never fail except they run into problem politically.

What happened to Oceanic back then is not what can happen to a publicly traded bank this 2024 .

GloriousGbola:
bukola saraki has done it again

i am sure the man was lobbying in the background.

Yeah, dem Sàràkí get fault for running the bank aground but CBN & NDIC have their own fault for watching the bank fail under their supervision.

Imagine people having billions as deposit in the bank and only able to recover paltry N5m through NDIC 😩
