A short story

Bimmarlykay:
Merino you fvkin clutch.😎😁

.

Wasiu Ogunmepon go just dey vex!

I no sure say Merino Don play up to 30 minutes for World cup and he has 2 open play goals in the knockout stages.

This life no just balance.

Witsel has been useless in this game. Even a tired Trossard still has a chance of coming up with a moment of brilliance.

The decision to bring Witsel in was a very useless one

How many world cup knockout goals does Merino have now and how many Wasiu Ogunmepon get abeg?

See man united keeper the SPILLanthropist 😂

Merino the king of clutch does his thing once again! 🤩

God save Unai Simon there o. De Bruyne for use am score worldie if he see that bal control well.

Doku dey really ginger this second half Sha. If Spain no dey careful, he will team up with De Bruyne to work something out for Elephant man Lukaku.

Do your best and leave the rest. This matter na like woman matter, if you like cut your hand for woman one day you will hear this lovely and fantastic question "What have you done for me"

Same thing with relatives, do your best and leave the rest

Thats when one relative will be like "Uncle Blueray your son has not paid his school fees" The son wey you no father biologically

This crazy age of social media, u will see some relatives setting camera to call u out on top Ur own money simply because u no give them Ur life savings.

Ellexy:
Thank God, this is fantastic news. There horror is over

Shegzdave:
Thank God and whosoever worked for their release

This is good news

I'm really happy for them ; that their case didn't just end as hash tag which people later forgot.

I think everyone who didn't keep quiet on radio, TV and social media on this Oyo incident deserve kudos.

Oyo Kidnapped Victims regain freedom.

I drag Okocha for his football abilities

But about his personal finance and economics, I hail him. He is a smart guy

“I once called a family meeting and told my relatives that the money I give them for business must not fail .

I even bought houses for them first, so at least they will not be homeless. That way, when I retire, nobody will disturb me”

He is smart and really tried for them honestly.

The house na evidence, in case tomorrow one useless relative want to play " You never did anything for me " card 😂

You must really have deep pockets like Okocha to be able to do what he did for them Sha. Buying a whole house for not one or two relatives, paying their kids' fees and still giving them capital to start business.... No be small benevolence Sha.

There are rumours that someone wants to take over that part of the business at the airport

So this stage is to chase off the drivers, then the Cabal can then bring his fleet and take over the space.

Uber/Bolt drivers should get ready to be banned too.

You know the crazy thing? If they allow the cabal to take over with his fleet of vehicles, he will only operate for some months or a year at most for him to realize the whole business is not as profitable as he thought much earlier.

At some point people will be stranded and they will force FAAN to allow them jack up the fare for airport take off and pickup. Before you know it, the passengers will have to bear the brunt.

They've already jack-up the cost of parking at Lagos Airport. Before, when I travel and come back to Lagos na my wife go come pick me for airport...... Now I just do bolt jeje. Even the bolt guys will tell u to find Ur way out of the terminal/car park so they can pick u on the road to avoid paying exorbitant parking fees.

In a country that has hope, even Tinubu would be spending time begging and sacking members of his cabinet for this shit show.

But na fellow Nigerians dey help Tinubu explain why the guy na scam

We will be alright in the end

That's where my issue lies in the whole matter. Nigerians like me and you are spending their time to explain away the whole issue in such a way to make it seem the president is a victim of people around him. 🤮

a lot of people's hands are in this and it will e interesting to see how it turns out

Exactly my point! There's a claim from presidency that Gbaja blew whistle on the man in October 2025, but somehow the budget of the fake agency he blew whistle on was left in the budget that was transmitted to the national assembly in December 2025. Somehow the president assented to the budget in April 2026 and the budget of the fake agency was still in national budget.

I don't want to believe this is just gross incompetence at the highest level of our government, I believe it's deliberate calculated attempt to divert state funds. Na the final beneficiaries make dem tell us. The whole thing stinks!

izzou:
FAAN has directed the Cab drivers at the Lagos airport to go and purchase 2020 cars and above for their business or leave.

We are talking about 18 million naira cars.

I really don't know how this kind of policy favours the people

Funny FAAN; you would be surprised that most staff of cannot afford to buy any 2020 car model strictly based off their annual salary. Even a director will struggle to buy 2020 Honda or Toyota strictly off his official salary & allowances.

They most likely want visitors into the country to see that we have modern vehicles being used as cabs/taxis but the government isn't willing to subsidize or assist the cab owners in getting those vehicles.

This man got around no be small

he has been on this since the 2000s

Who put the "fake" agency under this current 2026 budget? As a parastatal under the presidency, whom did the "fake" agency and it's director defend the 2026 budget under?

2026 budget was passed in April 2026 and the presidency claimed Gbaja blew whistle on Adeyemi in 2025 (leading to Adeyemi's arrest in October 2025) ; In whose interest was it for the "fake" agency's budget not expunged from the 2026 budget before it was signed.

The presidency certainly has a lot of question to answer. It's not just about telling us what we already know that Adeyemi is a person of questionable character. People wey Don actually do worse dey inside this government. They should explain to us how the man planned his heists and the fish out the final beneficiaries of his heists.

We will need Semid4lyfe to help restore the post with Larride's account details please.

@Afrodoc2 . These are not best of times for anyone to be under the weather; wishing him quick recovery....I can only imagine the kind of emotional and mental stress his young family will be under.

If there's any way we can support him financially, please drop details so we can do so

This guy saw premium shege in Kinapper's den for 42 days. Those Fulani kidnappers are really running riot Kogi, Kwara, Ekiti and areas bordering those states.

Yes, Doctor Congo that qualified via playoffs is the the best African team because Ronaldo couldn't inspire his team to win against them comfortably 🤡🤡🤡

If cr7 decides to go to the world Cup 2034, I will support him

I will also support him to use his old age suffer 😂

andrewbaba44:
If Portugal had finished first in their group which was even meant for them to do ,they would have faced Ghana and then Switzerland and defeat them so they can come and use their hands and defeat Argentina at the quarters ,but guess what ? They failed woefully

If dem set script for you for rigging the World Cup shey you got fit run your script ?

Dem set script for your idolo dem still fail

Mr Uzbekistan that was back only to return back 😁

Shame supposed catch all those yeye people wey dey support Ogunmepon honestly! Portugal came second in a group that had Uzbekistan, Doctor Congo and Colombia..... Yet dem dey talk about FIFA writing a script for Messi.

If dem get shame, they would be asking why Ogunmepon couldn't inspire his team to get all 9 points like Messi did for his own team.

I think one criteria for being Ogunmepon fan is that you must be shameless like Wasiu Ogunmepon himself 🤮🤮🤮

It's a 4cking disgrace!

But shey them dey use machine to clean their memory ni?
After all the noise about this Ponzi scheme dies down another Ponzi scheme will rise up within 2-3 years and people will fall again.

Just read your past statement. It seems there is an element of wickedness added. They know it’s fraudulent but want to cash out before it crashes and leave others hanging.

Since i could read, I've been reading newspapers and magazines that had reports of "wonder banks" and other precursors of those ponzi scheme.

I always wonder how every ponzi scheme always has its own victims no matter how glaring it is that such schemes are scam.

I think it's just greed, everyone thinks that are smart for keying into the ponzi scheme and cashing out before the whole thing comes down crashing.

This business of hiding and arresting father no just pure. The Adeniyi guy dey give press release everytim

Declare him wanted, place a bounty on him

They most likely don't want the heat that will come from declaring him wanted. The whole thing stinks and they are trying to manage public opinion.

raumdeuter:
Why is Nigerian police arresting the Adeniyi Adeyemis father. Is the son not available or did the father also join in the scheme

Adenyii has alleged a threat to his life and has gone into hiding.

He promised to make himself available in court with evidence when the hearing comes up later this month, but it seems he has ruffled some feathers at the top hierarchy of our government. Since they can't to arrest and silence him for the embarrassment, he's causing the presidency, they decided to arrest his father to force him out of hiding.

GloriousGbola:
BRT is pay before you use.
It is not a service where you are billed at the end of the month.
If you don't have money, you don't enter.

You cannot have widespread theft of brt use
BRT cannot be vandalised so people can use it for free or a lower cost

BRT has a significantly lower energy cost than a desalination plant. Your bus is not running 24/7 and will not incur severe losses if it shuts down during operation

And I am sure you know brt is a ppp arrangement. It is still private companies working with Lasg.

This is a wholly govt run operation, likely because no one will take that chance of investing in something the next govt can shut down



Because we have energy theft. Have we not seen people boasting on this thread that they don't pay energy bills? I am sure you know people regularly steal from NNPC pipelines. There was a total station in festac that allegedly tapped from an NNPC pipeline for years before they were caught. Why do you think pipeborne water will be different?

There's energy theft but there are measures in place to punish people engaging in it. At least I know people who have been busted and have been made to pay dearly for it by placing a debit on their prepaid meter.

There's no society that has zero crime rate ; we can't continue to use excuse of potential crime as defense for why our leaders are not doing what they ought to do as the government. One of the major function of government is to provide basic amenities like Portable water for the citizens. If we are saying because people will attempt to steal, the government should get a pass for not providing water, then we can as well say the government does not have a duty to do anything for us na.

Àbí? 🤷‍♂️

GloriousGbola:
A gas turbine for an plant owned by an international oil company where they can literally get the gas for free is not the same as energy for a state owned service with no guarantee of timely payment for service. Also as a naija concern you can be sure that people will start stealing water and selling at a lower price.

You missed the whole point completely. You assume people will not pay for an essential service while failing to see that the problem starts from people in government inflating the cost of the project from the onset.

Is BRT not an essential service being provided by Lagos state government and private operators? Is BRT not running on diesel? Are the users of BRT not paying for the service?

Why do you think the people for BRT service will not pay for water if the government and private investors run it properly instead of government officials just seeing it as an avenue to steal more state funds?

Ibime:
Is there any material input cost of building a desalination plant that will be produced in Nigeria?

Even the main operating cost of burning diesel to produce electricity for the plant is more expensive than abroad where they won't need to burn diesel

With vandalism and theft, such a project will easily be more expensive in Nigeria

Make Una no dey talk some of these things na. Some of Una sef don Waka inside this country.

There are self suatianable plants in this same Nigeria that have gas turbines that generate electricity completely off the national grid. I have been to one in tha South-south, I mean I was in the premises for one full week and Power didn't go out for once.

If our politicians don't steal money like psychotic kelptocrats, are u telling me a state cannot afford to construct a desalination plant and have it powered by a turbine power plant that is completely off the grid?

Some of the things we always claim are not affordable or too costly to fund are stuff that just got inflated due to the endemic corruption in this country. I mentioned it here few days ago that Lagos state government the supposed richest state in this country constantly blocks every attempt by any tax payer to find out how much the state makes, how the state's funds are utilized and who gets what. They've done that for 15 years and counting despite a law in place making it compulsory for them to furnish these information to any interested member of the public.

Who knows how much that may have been stolen by the various people that had access to public funds in Lagos state within that period? Tomorrow if we ask why a beneficial project cannot be embarked on by the state government, somebody will tell us it's because the state is nkt as rich as we assumed it to be. Yet LIRS will refuse to tell us how much Lagos state government receives in revenue from thousands of companies in Lekki, Victoria Island, Marina, Ikeja, etc. 🤦‍♂️

Wasiu Ogunmepon fans crashing out since their fake goat crashed out.....something we all live to see.....😂😂😂

Long may thy woes continue!

KingTom:
Greed being the keyword. You're not Forex trader but you believe that AI will trade for you and double your money before the week ends. You see people crying about sportybet and Bet9ja and you believe the betting system will use your money to bet and return it in 10 gold by the next week. Funny people

For real, it's pure greed and nothing more. I recently heard the gist of how a relative invested in the defunct cebex. This relative in question is based based in Republic of Ireland, he tries to always invest in Nigeria in real estate sector or any other opportunity he hears about.

So his friend told him about cebex not quite long after cebex started. I learnt he invested $100 and somehow the "Investment" grew to $1,000 in a short time. He asked his friend to withdraw $800 and leave $200 in the cebex "investment" since that's from his profit. Na so he cash out o.


By the time cebex crashed the $200 was trapped but he didn't think much of it. His friend on the other who introduced him to cebex carry all his Bukata on cebex and thought he would use cebex to defeat poverty. All the money the guy invested originally and the one he "gained" were all trapped in the ponzi scheme. The guy was in debt. Shebi if he had not been greedy and had taken profit like the guy in Ireland he would be smiling to the bank.

I guess the poverty in this country dey make people greedy naturally.

MorataFC:
From 2007 to 2021, the debate was close, but it wasn’t exactly “neck and neck.”
Messi already had more Ballon dor, more league titles, more European Golden Shoes, more playmaking awards, and better stats in goals per game, assists, chances created, dribbling, and overall impact on games.

The 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup didn’t create Messi’s case. They just sealed a case that was already built over many years.

Ronaldo deserves a lot of respect. He’s one of the greatest footballers,
But if we set bias aside and judge by both what we see and the stats, it’s clear Messi has been the better player from the very beginning.

Oil dey ur head bro! I cosign this post 💯

Unlimited22 is trying to make it seem like the disrespect Wasiu gets is happening in vacvum, no it's not!

Wasiu has been chatting shiiit for a long time and it's not even about self confidence or what ever positivity he wants to use to cover it. Messi fans are only returning those disrespect in multiple folds now that result finally cancelled insults for Messi.

We all dey alive when Wasiu fans use Messi eyes see shege after Portugal won Euro 2016 and Messi crashed out of Copa America.
