Yesterday's rain was something else.... Seeing videos of flooding in different parts of Lagos 😲

Seeing places like Ikorodu road, Ilupeju, etc getting almost submerged is scary. I'm afraid it may even get worse with the waste situation in lagos as the moment because the water can push the not-porperly-disposed waste into water channels and drianages.

Worse still, the flood can even spread diseases and before you know it they will taking about quarantine, isolation and other medical terminologies that should've been avoided if the right thing is done on time

Roland17:
On a different but familiar topic..

Can you confirm any improvement in the refuse collection situation in your area and around the places you typically visit? Or are things the same?

Anyone in Lagos is free to chime in.

It's not different. The refuse heaps are still where they are for now. Maybe in the new week they plan to do something about it, but as of today everywhere I drove past the heap of refuse are still visible.

Argentina path to the semi is clear till they face England

Even the Buharists seem to at some point refuse to defend certain abnormalities.. There's no red line at all for these Ronus, none...

😂😂😂😂

The whole àkàrà conversation has been a comic relief Sha. Suddenly every APC person dey claim say their mama na àkàrà seller and that's what they used to sponsor their education.

Everybody suddenly knows an àkàrà seller that earns more than bankers in a month 😂. They know àkàrà sellers that built mansions from àkàrà business. They are everywhere on the internet (Facebook, twitter and even nairaland) writing lovely prose about the newly found gold mine ; "Àkàrà frying business".

As I dey see their posts, I just dey laugh.

GloriousGbola:
no they would have not imho

because they would have recognized that their electoral success was partly due to those actions

i am sure you recognize the insane level of sabotage for what it was.

The same opposition that called out the so called Turnaround Maintenance over and over again?

It seems u are living in fantasy land

https://punchng.com/fg-under-fire-as-nnpc-confirms-refineries-not-working/?amp

https://leadership.ng/nnpcls-1-5bn-refinery-failure-validates-my-call-for-privatisation-atiku/

https://www.thecable.ng/its-a-huge-waste-peter-obi-faults-1-5bn-for-port-harcourt-refinery-repair/

The key opposition figures criticized the whole Turnaround maintenance, it was APC members and supporters that were defending it for years. They didn't stop defending it even when Buhari left,..... At least bayo Onanuga who is the current presidential spokesperson defended the whole refinery turnaround maintennace farce

GloriousGbola:
if tinubu had not entered that is where it would have ended
that is why we had fuel scarcity in an election month
they pulled out all the stops to throw the election.

Anybody that won the election would've probed the nonsense that happened under Buhari's government.

In fact, the opposition would've moved faster with the probe into the humongous amounts Buhari government released to NNPC without a functioning refinery to show for it.

Remember Tinubu's government was initially trying to paper over the cracks by claiming the refineries are up and running. The TVC guy who works for Tinubu's television station took camera to one of the refineries to show us gas flaming and claimed the refinery was up and running.

Even Bayo Onanuga was busy abusing "naysayers" who insisted the refineries are not up and running contrary to what the APC government claimed. One can even posit that this investigation/probe by EFCC is just to save this administrations face and separate themselves from Buhari administrations mess.

CrystalTiger:
I used to think that the #210trn diversion allegation was just normal cap from politicians..

Stuff like this make it look so real..

Those guys steal without any conscience; and it's because there are no proper checks and balances in place to audit them in real time.

To start with, let our presidents stop the idea of the President being the petroleum minister; it gives room for some of these things to happen. Why? Because even if a whistle blower raises an alarm that there's massive corruption going on in NNPC that is under the supervision of the president, a compromised house of assembly won't muster courage to invite the president to come clear the air. Even when the president is eventually called upon, he will only go there to joke with the house of assembly members and he will be asked to take a bow.

Going forward let them separate the office of the president from the office of the substantial minister for petroleum. Also, let any of the big 4's (PWC, KPMG, deliotte, or EY) be appointed as auditor to audit the accounts of the NNPC on a yearly basis and the report of such audits be made public. At least put some measures that will put fear in the mind of the NNPC guys? Let them have a feeling that if they steal/divert funds/embezzle operational funds, they are at risk of being found out within a year or two.

The way these NNPC guys stole/diverted the refinery maintenance funds under Buhari is shocking 😲

I really need to understand their plan. I mean they diverted the funds knowing fully well that at the end of the day the NNPC owned refineries won't work, yet they did it anyways.

What's their plan? What is/was their exit strategy? Do they think after diverting/embezzling the funds they would join APC and their sins will be forgiven or what?

They did over-invoicing with reckless abandon, they were approving contracts for phony companies, etc. They all have billions traced to them with no reasonable explanation as to the source of funds. Chai!

MorataFC:
Okocha is talented in his own class but describing as Africa's best talent, from where to where?

You get! Best African talent my foot!

Illimitable:
I am uncomfortable with this Okocha disrespect.

What is wrong with you people?

It's Ur right to feel uncomfortable about us disputing Okocha bing labeled so called Africa's best talent.

Posting screenshot of Okocha being named BBC African footballer of the year definitely doesn't make him Africa's best talent considering several others have won it before and after he did.

There are several other players who can lay claim to being better talent out of Africa when compared to Okocha and his footballing career.

But u are free to believe what U want to believe.

iamoyindamola:
Funny enough the guy chat me today

WTF! 😂

Wetin Una two dey discuss?

What exactly is Okocha's talent that makes him the best to come out of Africa?

Illimitable:
Jay Jay Okocha - Africa’s best talent is overhyped?

Cap 🧢

In which planet is Okocha Africa's best talent? 🤡

izzou:
Daddy: Son, what do you want to be in future?

Son: I want to be a Car spotter like Olutimi. He has a lot of followers, and he sees a lot of fine cars

Abeg, how many people talking here will clap and support their child if they want to do this?

It's always easy to make arguemebtd online to support peller, olutimi,poetable and co.... But that's where it ends.

Most people debating to support these guys won't support their own flesh and blood to choose such path

Looking for job and actually getting a job in a country like Nigeria (where there are plenty qualified graduates chasing few opportunities) is a valuable skill you need to master. Nobody will sit down and teach you that in a classroom.

If you fail to master it and turn around to shout " school na scam".... The joke is on you. Even people who travel abroad where there are different opportunities still have to strive and hustle to get gainful employment.

Talking about Olodo Uprising, abeg what is the entertainment value of those so called "Car spotters"?

Is that one also part of entertainment?

I mean these guys will go to admiralty way, Ikoyi and other private highbrow areas where elites are known to pass and they would be shouting out their names while focusing camera on the luxury vehicles they drive......Some celebrities would lower their glass to hand them bundles of naira note.

Is that not rewarding unintelligent people who pose security threat to people who like to keep their movement private?

izzou:
I doubt if you guys actually listened to YCEE.

He did not knock anybody's hustle. He even applauded Peller for his hustle.

He is simply saying a lot of unintelligent people with their conversations are not what we look up to.

How is this a problem for even the Olodos?

All of them just dey bring up yeye argument that is at variance with what Ycee said in the video.

At least if one wants to argue for or against, shebi they supposed try watch the video before forming opinion off the opinions of olodos who watched the video but didn't comprehend what they watched.

kodded:
money rules the world bro


With all your intelligence, if you don't have money, nobody will take you serious in life

Ecclesiastes 9:16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

The fact that you even had to quote a Bible passage to justify this unintelligent opinion.... 🤦‍♂️

For your information, there are countless number of people all over the world who are not rich yet the world listens to them....That people worship money in Nigeria and listen to clowns like Cubana chief priest and co doesnt mean it's the same all over the world

This guy's tweet nailed the point on the whole olodo uprising menace.

You will see a post on social media that is dumb, u will express your factual opinion in the comment section, and over 50 Olodos will come under your comment to tell you how the poster is richer than you and Ur generations 🤦‍♂️.

They will never debate the point you raised about the initial post being unintelligent o

izzou:
YCEE also blamed the government too.

He didn't come there to drag entertainers or Peller

He apparently didn't watch the video but forming his opinion based on what the reaction post of some olodos since the Ycee video made the internet.

Ycee spoke in general terms and mentioned Peller as being the poster boy for the olodo uprising.

CrystalTiger:
There's an Olodo pandemic in our society today and it's not even up for debate..This same pellar boy gathered MSc holders with the pretence of giving one person a job only to ridicule them..

Is it Pellar's fault alone? No..Saw where his fiancee asked if our president go school and that's where the problem lies..As a people we're making the wrong individuals popular, people with questionable characters are mostly at the forefront of our society today..Every argument is about money, money, money..Try to correct a Nigerian now, and the next thing is that the person tries to do "pocket measurement" with you..

We're gradually becoming a society that rewards emptiness over excellence..Alex Onyia posted that Nigeria cannot participate in Global Mathematics Competition in China because the ministry of education failed to fund them for the past four years but we've spent stupid amounts on things that will never lift us intellectually..

For me, these are the conversations that we ought to be having..No society makes progress with the way we're now..It's a sad thing honestly..

Oil dey Ur head bro!

How can anybody watch that Peller boy and say he isn't dumb? The boy does dumb things unprovoked and then it seems majority of the people on social media approve of his dumb displays.

It's not even about Peller alone sef, there are so many other dumb individuals being strategically pushed in our faces whom we are rewarding with attention and popularity. No society grows with people like that being pushed forward as our "celebs"

Amigoos1:
Just because you didn't graduate from a university doesn't make you dumb and unintelligent. I can't believe you are the one typing such a thing.

Peller, portable, Carterefe etc are entertainers, it's part of their job to entertain people and if people find them entertaining then so be it.

Your problem on this particular case is :

1. You didn't watch the interview per se but you are drawing conclusions based on the rehetorics of some olodos who watched the video and couldn't comprehend what they watched.

2. You don't watch peller videos well enough to see reason why he's the poster boy for olodo uprising.


If you actually do watch peller videos, you will know olodo uprising has nothing to do with being a graduate or not.

For your information, Ycee himself dropped oyr if UNILAG in 200 level so he's not a graduate. But he's nit wrong talking about the olodo uprising that has seen dumb people being propped as the next best thing.

Being dumb is not about whether I graduated or not. I believe you are a graduate and should know this.

Peller was the dumb guy that has a video out there denigrating graduates and trying to make them less of themselves because they couldn't get a job after graduating.
