How will TC Okafor that doesn't know how to swim and in a state of great panic save the girl?

I'd rather believe the driver who probably carried the girl to the hull of the boat to hang on, which is where TC Okafor was holding onto the rope.

TC Okafor that alleged he was nearly arrested because the boat driver told Police he was standing at the bow of the boat obscuring his view of the canoe, and denied he was standing. Meanwhile I've since seen many videos of TC Okafor standing like below. Anything TC Okafor is saying is in doubt due to his panicked state of mind, plus he even confessed using N20k to buy loud at the end of the movie shooting

🤦‍♂️

Who Dey advise these guys sef ?

Person wey dem dey accuse of being complicit in an accident investigation that may end up going to a criminal trial is openly admitting he bought 20k loud ?

😂

The fuel station in my bus stop just added 5 naira to their price, i bought at 655 this morning as against 650. Naira gain is not affecting the reduction prices of goods and services...

The normal NNPC close to me I normally buy for 568 official price , I wanted to get fuel for gen this morning I reach there I see say queue don long reach 3 bus stops away.

They are only selling one pump . I just bone go buy for N650 place without queue .

I don't know where there's like some tension in the air . Maybe it's the marketers fearing the price is about to drop or rise . Some filling stations like Mobil that still have fair price sef are not selling fuel

If you want to be bad. Be bad, don't go around snitching on your boss. We don't even know if the guy is saying the truth sef because such people can never be trusted.

I believe he was most likely arrested by EFCC. During the initial stage of the special investigator's assignment , he would've compiled a list of Emefiele's trusted loyalists and this guy's name will be there .

EFCC just needs to run through his bank statement for 7-8 years and they see enough evidences is money laundry there. All they need do is make a deal with him to give up his boss Emefiele or go down with him.

That's most likely the reason why he's testifying against his boss. I don't think he will just wake in his house and decide to snitch on someone who took him from dispatch rider at Zenith to senior staff at CBN.

iamoyindamola:
I know it's a person he trusted but then a dispatch rider is still a dispatch rider
I was expecting emefiele to elevate him as pa or even one of his aids

U think he was not elevated ? Somebody that worked for almost 12 years at Zenith bank with no skill ( and most likely certificates sef ) suddenly gets a job at CBN almost same time his former boss became CBN governor ?

He didn't even get job as a dispatch rider in CBN o but got the job as a senior staff working in the documentation unit of the CBN governors' office .

Which elevation pass that one ? Shey make Emefiele make an deputy CBN governor ni ?

Be like emefiele will rot in prison bit how dispatch rider go they carry such huge money and devil no go flash am once

As for the ex mannequin president he keeps letting us know he was useless in and out

Nigerian journalists nowadays are just so poor with their caption/news headline. Like when u read some stories u see a totally different picture from what the headline says .

Now if u read the headline it says dispatch rider collects dollars on behalf of Emefiele the former CBN boss . Like a common dispatch rider whose job is to dispatch letters , documents , other valuable items , etc.

But reading the story I get a totally different picture of : The so-called dispatch rider once worked at Zenith bank as a dispatch rider when Emefiele was the MD.

Now same man joined CBN around 2014; almost same time Emefiele joined CBN. He joined CBN as a clerical staff doing filing and documentations . He was no longer a dispatch rider but a trusted and loyal senior supervisor now working in the CBN governor's office . Obviously Emefiele sends him to receive cash and cheques ( likely bribes ) on his behalf when he's not in town .

If u didn't read the news , u would think Emefiele had a dedicated dispatch rider who delivers dollars to him any day any time .

Our media people should do better with picking headlines that relates more with the body of the news piece .

That said, anytime I remember that Emefiele video challenging AbokiFx to a one-on-one fight, I just burst laughing 😂

I see doctors everywhere 👀

iamoyindamola:
We have to go back to why he hurriedly buried the boy in the first place

Well, to be fair he had a valid reason as at that time . Most Yorubas will bury a younger person as soon possible provided the death is deemed natural and nobody is alleging crime.

It was after they had buried him that videos Sam Larry Assaulting him , petition he wrote to Police about threat to his life and other things started coming to light . I believe it was all of those that made the government step-in to exhume the corpse .

It was the father's greediness and listening to every Tom , Diick and Harry advice that made him start questioning the grandson's paternity . The man never had issues with the daughter-in-law , his son and grandson while the son was alive ( Based on the mother's account of events ) I believe it is the fear that the grandson might be getting everything left by Mohbad without adequate provision made for him that pushed him to start the DNA campaign .

For some reason , I want the lady to do DNA iat a court approved medical laboratory and let result be made known to the public by the court. I wonder what the man will do if the test confirms indeed the boy is mohbad's son.

iamoyindamola:
Something is definitely wrong with this man
He's looking like the main suspect in my eyes now

https://www.nairaland.com/8059590/mohbads-father-opens-gofundme-account

The man turned the whole thing to an opportunity to crowdfund for himself and chase clout . More like he has always loved the limelight but not been fortunate enough to have what it takes to be in the spotlight .

The man keeps behaving irrationally and I see people finding one excuse or the other to defend him. He keeps granting interviews to alll those hustling bloggers and those ones keep using him to push traffic for their social media account.

I even saw a video where he wore dapper clothes , wore stud eerings and was complementing the beauty of the lady with the camera. Smh.... A father whose son is still in the morgue o🤮

Olowunl01:
Bro, does it matter when it started? Just like our culture attires emerged not too long ago, what is Owambe without spraying money? Isn't Culture how we do things around here? If we can define culture as a social behaviour of a particular people or society.

Will soon apply to law school, these are the sort of cases and charges I want to be instituting 😂😂😂

What is wrong in spraying money?

But Nigerian government has since outlawed spraying money na. I think it was under Buhari's first term they made the law and CBN created enough awareness around it.

It's just our normal naija non-chalancy that made everybody overlook it.

I remember sometimes around last year after that actress lady was arrested; some event planners came up with a way around the law.

Let's say u have N100k cash to spray at the party; will meet the designated ushers who will collect the real cash from u and give u a paper-cut-to-money size that has the celebrant(s)' face on it. That's what u will spray and trample on as much as u want.

If u ask me; I think that way both guests and celebrants are safe.

Olowunl01:
Chief, he is being victimised, haba something everyone does. We Yoruba's sef suppose protest against such laws cos it is discriminatory to our culture of spraying money 😂😂😂 moreover people hardly spray dirty notes.

Case got to court judgement within 1month of offense such level of efficiency is un-nigerian.

Regarding his content, well it earns him income, also the online distractions are probably why some people are still sane in Naija, and contributes to the docility of its citizenry which helps the elite.

When did sparying money become Yoruba culture? Was it before the British introduced paper money ni or after ?

I don't think spraying money is Yoruba culture; rather it is a craze most Nigerians just decided to adopt as recent as the the 80's and 90's. I mean what I know is that musicians in the past usually get appreciated either with food, drinks, clothes and or money if their audience really enjoy their performance. I think that's why they call them "alagbe"

Anyways, if most people don't know spraying naira notes is a crime before now; I'm sure they now. Bobrisky too would've gotten the option of fine like the C-List actress that was sentenced recently for same offence; But I believe personally get score to settle with Oga Idris. (Maybe the judge is one of those parents who believes somebody needs to put Bobrisky away for some time)

I saw a video of the coastal road mappings, it seems Ituah Ighodalo's church(trinity house) around that Water corporation drive sef will go down o.

E be like all the churches wey get headquarters for Ogun state, Oyo state etc na dem wise pass o.

raumdeuter:
They deliberately didnt charge him for homosexuality which will raise eyebrows and gain foreign attention they charged him with Naira abuse which might technically be a crime but hardly enforced in Nigeria

Unfortunately claiming everyone does it is not an acceptable defence

Exactly! They used native intelligence for him . When people were complaining about nairamarley smoking in public, encouraging vices with his lyrics, etc.

It was same EFCC they sent after him.

This country when government wants to get u; they can even use KAI brigade to arrest u that the gutter in front of ur house is unkempt and a breeding ground for dragon sized mosquitoes

Olowunl01:
Nigerian Govt and victimisation, 6months without option of fine? Hope he gets a good lawyer to appeal this nonsense.
I don't agree or like his nonsense but he shouldn't be victimised.
Haba ontop everything that's going wrong in this country, he is the one EFCC want to use and flex muscle?

When government wants to deal with person, they can get at u under any guise. He had it coming with so much nonsense he vomits online anytime he gets into constant fight with other clout chasers online.

I don't think we can call his case that of victimization. If he was wise he would've learn from that actress lady that was sentenced for same offence earlier this year. Na everybody dey spray money for naija, but if ur cup full government go use ur back knack ground.

The sentence without option of fine seem too much, but that's at the Judge's discretion. I'm sure the judge like most people who don't endorse the nonsense Bobrisky represents just wants him out of circulation for the time being.

raumdeuter:
When I dey tell them here dem say na agenda

If he was from Africa and played this shadow marking style from beginning of his career, there's no way he would've found his way into Europe at all.

There are other big defenders like Konate who go all out to close down an opposition player. I never see a good defender that has all the attributes that make a good defender that runs from dribble reach Van Djik.

iamoyindamola:
Who they go jail bob or idris?
The way they rushed his case it's obvious someone in power mean him, he is a scapegoat
Omo it won't be easy for him oo

I guess everyone is tired of his nonsense and they just decided to use EFCC to teach him lesson once and for all. At least now bloggers will let us rest from forcing his contents down our throat every time.

iamoyindamola:
All he has been doing is provoking and riling people up
He was the one that said we are putting on our freezer 24/7 and misuse electricity
Same electricity that's not 24/7, i am sure i ain't the only angry with his useless cappings

Na so privileged people dey do. People like that no know say others dey suffer at all; na since childhood dem bread don dey buttered.

Dem don finally get Bobrisky.

6 months for sanko with no option of fine. The judge must be one of those people tired of seeing any bobrisky content online

The guy was partly at fault for all the Atalanta goals. He sometimes takes shadow defending to ridiculous levels.

I am not against shadow defending but aseju ni olorun o fe. The first 2 goals he refused to close down the opponent and failed to cut out the crucial crosses that led to the goals, and for the 3rd goal only a strong prophet can reveal what he was doing out on the flank (keeping everyone onside by the way) throughout the whole sequence.

Van Djik is a good defender no doubt, but his fans need to acknowledge the fact that he runs from dribble at times thereby putting the whole team under unnecessary pressure.

Very rare to see ijaw or ilaje that can't swim

Most of their original settlements are on water, so I guess swimming is something they learn naturally by virtue of their immediate environment.

afrodoc2:
It is actually a lifesaving skill. Not really about liking it or being averse to it, but about you never can tell.

Na why I dey avoid water as much as I can o. I don leave swimming to survive for Ijaw and Ilaje people

obainojazz:
You fit still learn swimming Sha…. I enrolled and trained for about two months last year

Naturally I don't like water. If I get beaten by heavy rainfall I will develop high fever.
I dont like getting exposed to water beyond normal bathing.

I have aversion for water generally. I don't think getting swimming lessons will cure it.

Bruv you need to recheck your calculator. Chagoury laundered many times more than 66m for Abacha.

No doubt , Tinubu and those brothers have a wicked plan.

Omo! I guess that's the official figures because I read Chagoury even funded some lawmakers in the US over time. Him hand no just clean anyhow u check am. I Don dey read about the Chagoury brothers since early 2000's for those weekly magazines; I know say na dem get Eko hotel sef.

Tinubu actually meant that word " EMILOKAN" in every sense of it. He's ready to drink directly from the well till he thirsts no more.

Umahi also said that the contractor handling the project, Gilbert Chagoury’s Hitech Construction Company Limited (Hitech) did not do any competitive bidding for the project, rather, the contract was awarded to the company based on its track record, not on sentiments as being insinuated in some quarters.

When asked for clarifications on the cost of the project, how it was approved in line with the Public Procurement Act and if due process was followed, Umahi said, “I don’t understand what you mean by due process. Yes, due process was followed. People are concerned about whether it was appropriated for, and I say yes.
“In the 2024 Appropriation, you will find Lagos-Calabar coastal road and it is appropriated for. In appropriation and procurement, what is in the appropriation may not necessarily be what is in the procurement but the most important thing is that it is appropriated for and it followed due process.

“The due process is that we did our in-house evaluation of what we submitted. Some people said that this project is PPP (Public–private partnership), it is not PPP. It is EPC+F, which is Engineering, Procurement, Construction plus Finance. In EPC+F. There is a commitment in terms of funds from the Federal Government, depending on the negotiation.”

On the bidding process of the project as the contractor handling the project, Chagoury, has a close relationship with President Bola Tinubu, the minister said, “I am an engineer. I work by reality and not by sentiment.

Nigeria my country! 🤔

Tinubu government carry N15 Trillion contract give Chagoury without any bidding process. The same Chagoury that laundered as much as $66million of Nigeria's money for Abacha.

Later they will be telling u to pray for Nigeria & it's leaders ; yet those same people are working assidiously to bleed the country to death through their proxies and allies.

Amigoss:
Nostradamus,hope you are fine...Dem say una be endangered specie for SE,lmao

What's wrong with this Dipo guy sef? Just look at how he's making the Nsogbu's case about being an APC supporter instead of condemning the guy's actions for defaming the lawyer lady.

Somebody calls a trained and practising lawyer names that portray her as quack; she wants to take it up with him in court and Dipo is chatting gibberish about the guy being an endangered specie..... He's talking about cyber bullying when it was the Nsogbu guy that did the bullying sef.

Shey an endangered specie wey commit crime no supposed go Sanko ni? 😒

So here's a video of those who died on the boat mishap suggesting that love jackets were actually provided but they only used the life jacket to snap and then dumped it.

I don't know how authentic the video is but I know Nigerians always cross express road under pedestrian bridges and Nigerians always refuse to use helmet when on bike for their own safety. Such recklessness is not beyond Nigerians generally

As you dey laugh na so people dey laugh me When I dey NYSC for North all my students were surprised say a grown person no go sabi ride bicycle, Same if you go Bayelsa as an adult and say you no sabi swim

I also don't know how to ride a bicycle till date and I'm not even bothered one bit. My Mates during NYSC tried making joke out of the fact that I can't ride a bicycle ; but in real life I get sharp mouth so my clap back made them abort mission 😁

Swimming or anything that has to do with water was a no-no for me. I don't like water-bodies at all; water scares me easily. I voluntarily declined going on a field trip during NYSC cos I heard we will visit one ancient crocodile shrine as part of our visit to the major river in the town. I no dey do wetin pass my power.

This is the problem in this country; safety for human lives means nothing. Regular maintenance on these boats could have avoided most of the casualties recorded. Actually, some boats there should be scrapped and some life jackets changed. (How the hell do you give someone torn life jacket)

With the way that terminal is run, you will think it's subsidized by the government. Heard they increased fares from 700 to 2k after fuel subsidy removal. So 2k to convey up to 40 people is 60k for less than 45 minutes trip.

The funny thing is Lagos state government has an agency for almost everything. There's an official agency in charge of regulating players in the water-ways transportation but those people working in those agency would not do their jobs.

Normally they should have staff stationed at those jetties to supervise the compliance level with safety measures and stop any boat/ferry from loading if it's not in good shape. But what do we have? Nothing. It's only when major mishap happens u start seeing them reeling out figures of people dead, missing or survivors.

It will keep u wondering what happen to preventing the initial incident?

This is true. if you are not writing for official document, Say you and izzou dey talk for English, How many times we dey use Inculcate?

If you dey talk sef and izzou just dropped the word inculcate on you, you go first look am say Guy you normal so? Na me you wan take grammar dey impress. If thre are easier words to use people will generally use it

Most times abroad I see the average American just use basic language what I will call tier 1 diction in their day to day life

Its like communicating in Yoruba, there are some Yoruba words you have not used in the last 10-15yrs of your life unless you are writing an essay or for Alaroye paper

Exactly, some words won't just come to u. In fact there are some Yoruba names that people bear that u won't even know the meaning as a Yoruba person except u ask the bearer of the name what it means.

So my fears were legitimate. I imagined the boat capsizing 20 times before we got to VI. Sometimes, the speed will coincide with a water wave and the boat will suspend in the air for a second before landing.

I started suspecting it is not safe when I saw boys I assume are divers perching around the boat before it moves.

Ur fears are clearly legitimate. One day when I was expressing my fears to that my oga on how dangerous the whole journey sounds ; he bluntly told me I don't want to know how dangerous it can get.

He said he once boarded one and suddenly he saw the operator dive into the lagoon. Only for him go come up with the boat engine in his hands. Like the boat engine literally removed and only the boat operator knew.

I just feel the whole journey is a risk not worth taking at all.

My uncle they do am well well, he wanted me to join him in a meeting at marina i told him i will meet him there
He was mocking me he got there ahead before me, the annoying thing with this water is there is no network
I always try his line during this his journeys but every time not reachable, no wonder network always run away on 3mb too

I don't know where people get the confidence to use those speedboats knowing fully well we don't have a working emergency care in place.
