If you relocate to any state, you should change your license plate. If you are transitioning or traveling through, or staying temporarily, You do not need to change it

From one absurdity to another!

I hope you know Vehicle license plates are not transferrable in Nigeria...So because you are relocating to another state you will remove your current license plate and apply for another one for a base rate of 30k at least( Cost of processing is not inclusive o). Don't you see how absurd it sounds?

raumdeuter:
His academic brilliance also supported by his top achievement in th corporate world means he is one of the best and brightest in the country.

So why shouldnt you support having the best and brightest run the country as evidenced by their academic and career achievements

We are calling out his absurd takes here; his academic and career achievement has no bearing on the matter at hand.

His opinion on this matter is far from being bright. He doesn't have power as a state governor to overrule a federal Act. Simple!

raumdeuter:
Exactly, when someone does better than you, I think its okay to admit they are better. Like they say "If ts easy you sef run am"

A Seun dey so, I no fit question his academic brilliance, we dey the same faculty and he beat all of us including me without even trying. In that aspect of life na my Oga he will ever be.

Nobody say make u question anybody's academic brilliance.

Being academic brilliant does not give anybody immunity from being questioned when their idea seems out of place and not in tandem reasonability. Even if person get 20 PhDs and his idea seem out of place, his academic qualifications does not give him a pass from being called out.

raumdeuter:
Its easy, stop civil servants in those offices from advertising Lagos plates. ts not that difficult, its easier for govt to do, Its actually a low hanging fruit and a quick win

The kind fantasy you are living in your mind ehn.... He said "It's easier for government to do". Whether they advertise plate number or not, a state government does not have the powers to stop anybody from using any other state's license plate on the state road. According to FRSC Act 2007 you can use any license plate from any state nationwide irrespective of the state you are resident in.

A bright mind should know that and not be talking as if there's anything he can do to change something entrenched in a Federal law.

Even if he decides to compel Oyo state of assembly to draft a law to ban Vehicles of residents carrying other state's license plate on Oyo road, the FRSC act will supersede the state law when it is tested in court.

raumdeuter:
He is my candidate for a reason. He passed through the places I passed through and did way better than me. First I didnt even get a first class in OAU, He did

"Kundus" for for you and same for him.

izzou:
He will ban residents in Oyo from using license plates of other states

And how does he intend to do that?

Go house to house?

See who Raumdeuter dey famz.....

Like….. the idea does not even appear to be something formed in a bright mind at all.

Maybe he task Amotekun to be arresting anybody who has a vehicle with Lagos number plate parked in their compound . Abi ? 🤷‍♂️

GloriousGbola:
my take - dayo likely has partnership in a plate fabrication concern in oyo state

I think he just feels he must defend anything that comes out of Adelabu’s mouth since he’s his candidate.

raumdeuter:
Plying the road is not the issue if you are passing by, its residing in the state that is the issue

I didnt say the guy is bright, his track record of what he did in school plus private sector shows that

Whether u reside in the state or not, a governor cannot unilaterally compel residents of the state the license plate your car will carry .


Abi he wants to write a personal FRSC Act by himself for Oyo state ?

No be everything u supposed Dey defend o

izzou:


And how much is the revenue from license plates, that a governor (not local government chairman) is threatening to ban other vehicles plates?

I saw that video and I cannot believe this brain worked with CBN.

He said it in the past sha. I forgive him for such stupeeeedety

I think the guy was probably having a debate and just needed to say something at that point in time .

I don’t want to believe what in that video is an original thought which he actually believes in and intends to carry out .

I mean how does a governor ban citizens from using license plate of other states before they can use their vehicles in his state ? Where will he draw the power to effect such ban ?

Even if he compels the house of assembly to sponsor a bill to that effect and have him sign it into law; anybody can take the case to court and the law will be trashed by court judgement . It makes no sense at all…..

raumdeuter:
License plate is a way for state to raise revenue. If you live in Ibadan and do not get an Oyo license plate, you are denying Oyo revenue and handing the revenue to Lagos

Lmao 😂

What constitutional powers does he have as a governor to stop people with another state’s vehicle license plate from plying Oyo state road ?

I thought you said the guy is bright .

izzou:
GloriousGbola no wan take eye read anything Geometric oh

Na why I wan understand wetin Geometric power do as per the link he dropped. Maybe I'm missing something sha

GloriousGbola:
i no go talk too much - the same way we heard subsidy is gone on may 29 2023, we will likely hear same for electricity on may 29 2027.

But this does not explain the Geometric Power plant connection you were trying to make in your previous post now.

Is FG subsidizing Geometric power plant currently ?

GloriousGbola:
https://www.afreximbank.com/afreximbank-signs-us50-million-new-debt-financing-for-the-geometric-power-ipp-power-project-completing-us332-recapitalisation/



electricity is still subsidized. until subsidy is lifted geometric power will be operating at a loss and their creditors will not wait forever.

it is why dangote was making so much noise. with a subsidy he would be dead.

https://www.nairaland.com/8638055/breaking-news-nigerias-power-generation



This is not a technical competence issue - it is a money issue

I want to get the point you are trying to make here; Where did you read that anybody is subsidizing the geometric power plant?

For all we know it is an independent power generating & distribution company that makes power available to industrial and individual customers.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with debt financing ; I'm yet to read anywhere that Afrexim bank is raising alarm about Geometric power plant not being able to service their loan facility.

So where exactly is the issue?

germaphobe:
i know Gyokeres can't replicate what he did at sporting here in Arsenal, but some fans can't see that. I just need him to improve, that's all. Some fanbase would rather turn a blind eye than see his lapses. Igor thiago, Joa Pedro, Ekitike all have more goals than him. And even sesko has more goal to minutes played ratio than gyokeres. He can have more goals than all these names if he really pushes himself to knowing how the team plays and making better positioning. On sunday, with his big frame and all, haaland had a better game than him, and haaland played against world known best center back pairing while he was with Ake and khusanov. With hom being the preferred no.9, he really have to turn up for us to win titles.

One thing I noticed is that we have fans who are emotionally attached to some players , maybe because of the hype surrounding such players or just personal sentiments sha. Even when we perform well without such player in the lineup, they would still want the coach to find a way to squeeze him in and make gold out of dust.

Below is one of the instances Gyokeres was actually fed but his first touch , second touch and his inability to make a run at goal with ball at his feet led to him missing a very sweet chance.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWCxH85GGz8?si=PxlSs4JkulqNXHs3

When we point these things out, it's not because we want to blame the player exonerate Arteta for whatever the eventual outcome of the game would be, but just to put things into context .

I agree with you that Gyokeres should be doing better with his big frame and not let average defenders silent him in crucial matches.

iamoyindamola:
Was he starved or not?
As he been wasteful too?

No, he was not starved.

He missed chances like most strikers under pressure to prove a point.

That being said, it appears he has improved in his runs and positioning over time as the season progressed. I believe he will get even better when he finally click with the team.

germaphobe:
focusing on our game is the priority, if we can win our matches regardless of city's result, it will be great for us. If we can avoid a loss against city and win 5 matches, we're champions.
Gyokeres needs to be proactive if we are to win the title. He is the preference no.9 but keeps ghosting in important matches. For a team that has created over 60 big chances this season, our striker has 11 goals and 8 big chances missed. It's funny that no one talks about that. I clearly don't see the difference with what kai had in his first and second season even though he played some games as a midfielder and not a striker. Last season kai had 19 g/a in 35 games, in his first season he had 21 g/a in 51 games. Gyokeres currently have 17 g/a in over 40 games and yet everyone choose to be silent and defend him like it is normal.

Personally I am indifferent about Gyokeres; I don't have any sentimental attachment to him.

All those times some fans were running agenda that he's being starved of passes in the final third, I didn't read any meaning to it at all because as someone who played football I can see that most times his positioning is suspect. He was also struggling to flow with the game maybe because of the pace of EPL compared to the Portuguese league.

However, I want to believe he will come out good with time. He just needs to keep improving and hold his head up high. To be fair to him, he's like the only striker doing better compared to all the strikers/forward signed by the top EPL teams this season. If injury doesn't come knocking at his door, he should be in blistering form next season.

GloriousGbola:
I suggest you go beyond the rhetoric of maga who need to justify people dying in their custody by criminalizing them

Illegal immigrantion is not a felony.

You also need to realize a large number of people being detained or deported are actually legal immigrants

ICE are poorly trained as a feature and have quotas with bonuses so their goal is to pack as many people as possible

There is also the cruelty and intimidation factor - what we as Nigerians have come to expect from our police.

Illegally re-entering the US after previously being deported is actually a felony. You can look it up.


This particular deportation by ICE is justified according to the department of homeland's account of the man's criminal history.

HansiBobo:
Daughter is in far away Middle East fighting war, while back home, ICE don declare her oko man persona-grata, carry him go back to Mexico.

Jessica joined the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln, working on missiles and armaments. The ship was part of the initial deployment sent to the Arabian Sea as a warning to Iran. She was on board when she got the news of the deportation. Ana recounted her sister’s reaction: “She was hurting, she was disappointed knowing that my father got taken away and she’s serving for our country and our military. She was in shock. She was crying.”




https://wegotthiscovered.com/politics/weve-been-torn-apart-u-s-sends-a-navy-airman-to-iran-while-deporting-her-father-on-the-same-day/

Do you think because his daughter is a Naval personnel he should be allowed to continue to live in the states despite committing multiple felonies after deportation in the past?

DHS noted he had been previously convicted of DUI and unauthorized use of a vehicle, had been removed from the United States four times before, and had “chose to commit multiple felonies by illegally reentering our country on numerous occasions.” The statement concluded with a stern warning: “Under President Trump… if you break the law, you will face the consequences. Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the US.”

Do you think immunity should cover him simply because his daugther is fighting in a war overseas?

larride:
His major issue is with Teslim Folarin. He has fallen out with him and it seems Tessy control the structure as it is currently.

He was a huge Tessy guy during the 2023 election cycle, na only God knows wetin happen between them.

So is there a possibility Tinubu will select his preferred candidate or he will let things play out in a free primary featuring both frontliners?

raumdeuter:
Its possible, He is quit popular in his area and if he gets the support from Abuja he might be.

I am not sure if his zone is Oyo South or Oyo Central

Early this month I heard on a Yoruba news on radio that his constituents are revolting against Akin Alabi returning to the house of assembly. They say they want someone else to represent them in Abuja.

raumdeuter:
I did not support Wike when he contested twice in Rivers even though I am not from Rivers. For example I did not support Adeleke when he contested, I did not support Obanikoro when he contested, I did not support Teslim Folarin when he contested

Issokay.

daveP:
I don't agree he fell because he was bad. He got bad cos manager didn't see need again. He trusted him during emergencies and the kid stole the limelight but now that he got new guys, he suddenly got bad? That's too convenient. Add the fact that Zubi is causing this very Arteta problems but he still trusts him the next game and if what you're saying is even true in the first place, then we're seeing double standard at play.

Sadly that's not the case. For me i disagree that's the reason for his bench warming.

Which emergency are u talking about? Lewis-Skelly was handed a starting shirt Vs Bayern Munich when Arteta could've started Calafiori or Hincapie ahead of him if truly it's because of the new guy's he's getting benched as you claim. Guess what? He gave a very woeful performance.

That was not the only match he had his chance but messed up this season.

If you expect the manager to keep fielding him because sentiments or as a reward for his performance last season, then that means you are really not ready for this team to win something.

As for me, I don't care if any young or old player starts or gets benched, the koko is for the team to win something. I don't have any sentimental attachment to players who would jump ship anytime. I have learnt from some of our players that we fans supported through tough times in their career only for them to dump the club when it matters most.

daveP:
Its even for the middle role i wanted MLS sef. That guy is the youngest anti-press player I've seen in a long while. Manager is afraid to risk but he is rigid to lose. That's insanity. The kid at LB or inverting or breaking the 424 of man city would have defied everything a manager thinks he knows on paper. That is one beauty of the game. No be everything on paper dey absolute. Na him ruin the final. Na him still tell the players to watch City trophy parade again. He don overthink sotey he no fit comot the players doing rubbish.


The managers of the lowest class would simply overload the final third and force city back temporarily at least. If they wan do 424, then push 5 and let the gk load to any red shirt. Afterall he had Kai and Gyokores upfront. But this man refused to just risk it the right way. He owes his tough players an apology IMO.

Man probably doesn't see what Cala and MLS brings down from that left zone.


For me, aside the terrible display from certain key players, this one lies at Arteta's rigidness in a final. Abi baba tldey reason say 2nd leg dey ni?

We getting there sha.

We can blame Arteta for anything, but I will never blame him for not using Lewsi-Skelly . That boy was abysmal in the matches he was given chance and no serious manager challenging for titles will think of introducing him in key matches where everything is at stake.

All those talks about the youngest anti-press player is past glory bro. He has been out of sorts this season and do not inspire any confidence at all from my own point of view. Maybe when we clinch the title and don't have much at stake any longer I will support call for him to get more playing time sha. He has been unserious

raumdeuter:
I dont know him too well also. I just prefer guys who cut their teeth in private sector rather than career politicians who have done nothing noteworthy in their lives just political office

But Wike is a career politician and u support him now.

raumdeuter:
I hope not. This Sarafadeen Alli, I cannot see anything he has achieved in the private sector. I am wary of career politicians who never achieved anything in private sector but to jump from one political office to another

Adelabu I have seen negotiate the cut throat world of private sector and come out excellent at it

I don't even know the Alli guy, maybe he's a grassroots guy Sha... Maybe that's why the party members prefer him

larride:
Yes.

It's a very popular concept in Ogun State. As long as you are from the royal family whether paternal or maternal, you are eligible to be King.

Oh really?

Didn't know they do that in Ogun state o. The first prominent case of such practise was this current Oniru of Iru land whose mum is from the Royal family and the father is not.

larride:
Hamzat is an indigenous Lagosian. His Father, the late King is a Lagosian. He became King in Ewekoro, Ogun State through his maternal line.

You mean his grandfather is originally from Lagos and his grandmother from Ewekoro? So, his father became king in Ewekoro via the grandmother's influence?

larride:
Ambode is never coming back as Governor. Otilor.

His chance was fighting for Lagos East Senatorial seat if the governorship was zoned to Ikorodu division and Abiru goes for it.

At the moment, Ambode can't take the senate seat from Abiru

Yeah, except Abiru is assured of the governorship seat leaving the senate seat vacant for Ambode; he no really get any elective position of note available for him at all.

Maybe Tinubu may give him a political appointment post 2027 elections sha. Nothing is impossible with these politicians.

WhoDeyHause:
Wow then that's a wrap then. It's just small talk I've been hearing since last year that made me think he'll be brought back for primaries. Hopefully the hamzat guy follows the footsteps of fashola for you guys cause e be like say sanwo olu no be am.

If Ambode goes to open primaries without being selected as consensus candidate by powers that be, he will lose scandalously irrespective of whatever amount he pays delegates.

I think there are people within the party who feels their money dey Ambode hand and the only way they can collect it is to make him spend it for a primary he won't win. I feel those are the people pushing him to come out and contest. If he is wise, he should just beg for Senate ticket and go retire for Senate like most ex-governors from other states do.

GloriousGbola:
Ambode went on an unnecessary and vindictive sacking spree. He laid of heads of MDAs and gutted departments, shredding institutional knowledge for petty revenge.

He scatterd the PSP, a working arrangement for a system for a first World nation

And he went full naija gomina, abandoning uncompleted and viable projects to focus on initiatives with his name on them.

Yeah, Over the weekend I had a discussion with a senior man who rolls with the political class in Lagos and he said Ambode's mess up long gan. He said it is even beyond the whole PSP saga sef.

For example he talked about the rams and gifts the state government buys for some big political figures, members of the clergy, some powerbrokers in the state who work behind the scene etc. He said Ambode just stopped those things abruptly. Like he really stepped on many toes and that was why nobody really stood with him when he fell out with Tinubu. He was isolated.

Even his fellow civil servants (particularly the senior ones like directors of ministries and perm secs) really didn't find his administration enjoyable at all. He was once one of them then decided to foreclose every means through which they "settle" themselves the moment he became the governor.

germaphobe:
the win on sunday has given man city a major confidence boast, it remains to see how how players react to this loss in the upcoming games. Throughout this season, each time we lose, we go on a long undefeated run, I hope we replay that in the epl with 7 games remaining and get 5 wins.

Yeah, I want to believe most of players withdrawing from their respective national team duty during this international break is a signal that they are locking in for the next 7 games and want to see things through without any significant distraction. All they just need do is win as much as 6 out of the outstanding 7 games and results will cancel insult finally.

I want to see those players smile after the pain of failure in the past 2 to 3 years. I believe they have what it takes to do it. Make we just focus on our own games and not concern ourselves with city ; if they like let them be winning 13-0 each match going forward.

WhoDeyHause:
I thought people said ambode was coming back or has he being kicked out of apc?

Ambode made a lot of enemies within and outside the APC. He was a working governor, but politics may make his comeback almost impossible sha except Tinubu decides to gift him the ticket to the chagrin of some party members who still have score to settle with Ambode.
