How they don't get intelligence report before mass shootings happens in US but gets for other countries surprises me....

This is a no brainer. America is a gun country where almost every citizen owns a gun. It just takes one insane citizen with gun in a large gathering to have a mass shooting.

A coordinated terrorist attack on the other hand requires terrorists communicating over time; mapping out plans and fine-tuning it. An intelligence agency can even have sleepers among terrorist groups that feed them intel before D-Day .

Lmao... Nai person dey say na we the citizens dey drive fx.

If Femi use 1 billion buy usdt, how market go react? 🤣.
Abi tell me wetin Femi dey use 24billion do?
Why surulere people nor go dey worship the man sef

APC people don't do crypto , only enemies of Nigeria buy crypto and dollars to destabilize the Nigerian economy .

Spy360:
It has nothing to do with efficiency. You think the CIA weren't efficient when Osama bombed the WTC? Or when the Boston bombing happened? The point is I don't trust the west.

U don't trust the west but u trust Russia ?

Spy360:
Wait until KGB do their investigations. I don't trust the west.

lol.

When didn't KGB get a premonition of the attached if they are as efficient as u are assuming ?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
More trouble for Ukraine and the West

ISIS stages a terrorist attack in Moscow after US had already passed an intelligence report about an imminent attack ; yet u still say na more trouble for Ukraine and the West

Life no easy my brother

Which life no easy? These ones just chose to waste away their life ni jare

See ehn, In lagos if u get on the road as early as 5am u will see those pickup vans loaded with a concrete mixer, young and old men & women moving towards the island.

These are people who live on the outskirts of Lagos like Sango, Abule Egba, Ijoko, Ojuore, etc. They are going to new sites scattered beyond Ibeju Lekki and it's environs to hustle as laborers. Some of them would even still be sleeping in the van cos they left home pretty early

Those are the real hustlers; those are the people I respect not all these ones wasting their lives away sleeping in sports betting shop.

Thank You

Me I absolutely love The Gentlemen o.

Jimmy and Freddy just dey give me mad vibes.

Different stroke for different folks I guess.

Ibime:
Once I saw comedy in the description I skipped it. Gangster and comedy don't mix

Excatly. I think that's what messed it up for me; at some point it appears the producers don't know if it's a comedy show they want to make or a gangster show.

But The Brothers Sun was a mix of comedy & gangster yet it made much sense , maybe cos of the Asian-action theme sha.

Strong mind watch am,u go soon start to feel am...na so e do me too

I've watched to episode 4 and I'm finally tired. I give up

raumdeuter:
The first episode looked promising but went downhill from there and once I start I try to fnish

I think 2 episodes I just skipped through

Has anyone watched the Series "Berlin" , the guy from "Money Heist". obainojazz Money heist is also a good show if you havent watched

I want to know if the Berlin show is good before I invest time

The bold is exactly how I fell about The Gentlemen. I just can't get along with the plot anymore.

I downloaded Berlin but haven't watched it yet; I learnt it's a prequel to Money Heist. I don't know if it is as good as money Heist sha

Just came out yesterday, i haven't checked what it's about but the rating make sense

As for the gentlemen it's majorly about family
How you hold out for each other no matter what

Thanks, I've started download.

That "The Gentlemen" is just not giving. I tried to force myself to enjoy it, but I just got tired. The whole drug stuff, stealing a sports car, etc; e no just balance. So many plot holes or maybe not.

Maybe my expectations about the show was too high sha

Iamoyindamola abeg which series dey ground?

I'm stuck on episode 4 of The Gentleman, Not really feeling the series like I've seen it hyped. It just doesn't seem like serious show. I don't even know how to describe how I feel about the show.

iamoyindamola:
Na why I no bother bringing it here
Him they mad maybe he wan sign-up for bouncer or wrestling
Naso Torres sef go build up, maybe Kai or Palmer will follow suit when they retire

Smh. Medicine after death.

The thing just dey vex me

I listened to Nigeria Info 99.3 fm at 9am yesterday When veteran journalist Jimi Disu brought Captain Blade ( a retired army intelligence captain )to analyze the Okuoma soldier killings issue .

One thing captain blade mentioned which struck a cord was that most people suggesting military coup or takeover don't understand is that war is no child's play .

He mentioned the January 27 2002 bomb blast in Lagos for refrence that most people calling for war or coup on social media obviously can't recollect what explosion of bombs in the amoury alone did to people's mental health that very day .

He said that is child's play to what a war situation looks like and I'm forced to agree with him. Bomb dey explode for Ikeja and people in Ikoyi , V.I and Ikotun dey feel the reverberation . One can only imagine what a war situation will look like .

I still remember that day and it was like hell on earth. Some agberos at Ikotun were practically saying " the world will end today and all of us go die " , despite the fact that nobody actually knew what exactly was happening at that time.

I just hope our politicians with their recklessness won't drag us back to those dark days . When politicians and big boys loyal to them use military men to sort their political issues/differences like is being suggested in this Okuoma matter, things might really get worse before they get better ( if they ever get better sef )

Am I the only one who's tired of seeing on social media random Videos of Ozil in the gym bulking up ?

Like , when this guy played for arsenal in one of the most physical league in the world he didn't do any bulking up even it was obvious he needed it. Now he's suddenly decided he wants to be Adama Traore regen . 😏

Blueraydick, remember that discussion we had here.

Na wa o. So people just mine at their own convenience without having any clue

larride:
Yes, that what happened. That's what made their money stuck.

If they have a fx forward contract with the CBN, it will already specify the rate at which they will get their $$ but if they dont, they will get it at the current NAFEM rate.

Well, I'm guessing CBN didn't just use word of mouth to tell them they will get their funds repatriated at so so rate in the future .

There must be an official communication to that effect. Whether such official document is now enforceable legally is mother thing entirely .

But one thing is obvious ; things like this don't boost investors confidence one bit .

This is more detailed.

According to the verified Twitter big account Con Harrison @
ConMarbleHalls..
“Now it’s being reported elsewhere, i guess i can elaborate on it now. It
was a defenders meeting during the World Cup in Qatar where Holland was
asking Man City pair Stones and Walker about the style in which they
decide what patterns to play depending on the press. To which they
explained briefly.
Others were asked from different clubs but didn’t have the answers.
When Holland got to Ben White, White’s answer was that he wasn’t sure.
To which Holland replied “Of course u wouldn’t know, you’re too worried
about other things rather than football”.
Was a very awkward exchange after which other players felt
uncomfortable about it.
Notably, Connor Coady felt the comment was harsh and has since come out
to defend Ben White and his personality due to speculations he didn’t fit in
with the squad.”

Can u just imagine the nonsense . 🤦‍♂️

Instead of them coming out to clarify the issue, they allow white to be unjustly vilified in the media . Smh

I knew there was somoething off about ghe whole story being circulated in the media

Itsrm:
Exactly. There was no dollar to give them because the CBN was using every available dollar to defend the currency. That's why the CBN cannot afford to force the naira down. They will run into the same problems as the previous administration.

And yet CBN is trying to force down foreign exchange loss in the airline operators businesses ?

No be so now.

Na wetin dey Pursue foreign investors be this na. U can fast and pray 24/7 for FDI , but if u treat existing investors like this u just dey whine urself

Ibime:
CBN is obliged to give them at N460 as that was the rate when they forwarded to CBN. The foreign exchange risk is on CBN

If true, nobody will bring their investment to Nigeria and expose themselves to such risk

This is what I was about saying .

The whole world is watching ; however they end up solving this issue will determine the eventual decisions all those potential investors theyve traveling all over the globe to woo.

larride:
From the little I understand, the foreign airlines want to repatriate the funds they make in Nigeria back to their home country. To do so, they must change their naira to dollar from the CBN who will then credit their HQ.

Why didn't they repatriate the amount in dollars under Buahri when naira was a little bit stable against the dollar ?

I'm guessing it's because naija CBN didn't have enough dollars in the system to let go that period right ?

larride:
If its Naira they have in their bank account, they will only get their money at the current fx market rate.

But does it even make sense for an airline being an international business to keep substantial sum in their Naira account knowing how volatile the naira is against the dollar?

I never really understand the story between CBN & the airline operators sha

Itsrm:
Of course, I'm not making excuses for Gumi. If nothing else has been established, we know he's always sympathetic towards the cause of terrorists and bandits. This man was arrested in Saudi Arabia as far back as 2010 on issues bothering on terrorism.

Just pointing out what I noticed because I know people may not bother to watch the video.

Sometimes I don't watch videos too. I just read whatever interpretation has been posted.

I alway make sure I watch videos or read full news articles before forming an opinion . I am always wary of sensationalism which most of media people use to sell their stock

Itsrm:
What the guy wrote in the tweet is wrong though. The woman never said they gave Gunmi the money.

Well, true the guy's caption was incorrect, nonetheless it doesn't negate the fact that Gumi deserves to be in DSS detention helping government with necessary information to track down those terrorists.

What the woman narrated was the fact that they met at Gumi's house where they contributed money for the Fulani man who was going into the forest to meet the bandits for negotiation. And the man insisted the N800k is just for transport alone. Shey na heaven he dey go ni abi it's because there are so many people that will take their cut of the N800k?

Obviously Gumi has made himself a go-to-man that sets up meetings with bandits/terrorists and families of victims. At what point do we tell ourselves the bitter truth that Gumi is a principal stakeholder in this banditary/kidnapping/terrorism business?

[color=royalblue]So who go come buy or chop the produce then?[/color]

They can't sustain it for long noni . The food items will go bad.

They can also sell to other countries but not as much as they sell down south here

GloriousGbola:
This is what I am saying. Is the food from the north funded or subsidized by their state governments in any way?


Anambra state can lay claim to hero beer as they invested in the distillery - can kano state lay claim to the cows in kano? Did kano state provide land, or medication or transport? Is there actually any difference between the governors up north and down south in this regard, outside of the Niger state government?

When we say the north, we actually mean the people of the north. Not necessarily claiming the northern governors funded the agricultural efforts.

But u know the funny thing is the government of those northern states can actually stop food items from coming down south. The governor just needs to sign one yeye executive order and send state agencies officials to stop any truck coming down south with agricultural products.

That being said, our governors down south can actually encourage agriculture if they want to. They can provide agricultural loans with low interest rates to people interested in agriculture, give tax incentives and provide security for designated farm settlements such that herders who are caught with their hard on those farm settlement will be severely dealt with.

I mean we can also go ultra if we want to.

GloriousGbola:
As far as I can tell, They don't offer us food because it is all individuated subsistence farming. It is Niger state that is actually investing in agriculture proper

If u know the number of trailers loaded with food items that enter Mile 12 food market in Ketu daily, u will know that the north actually feeds the south.

Just stay few hours at Ojodu Berger and u will be amazed at the number of trucks loaded with livestock, pepper, tomatoes, yam, vegetables, etc that entered Lagos from the north.
