I think he will serve in Netherlands that's where he was sentence

I think he was sentenced in absentia . So If e no enter Netherlands he no go see jail except he enter countries wey Netherlands get extradition treaty with

I guess they are confirming Buhari is an effigy who has no use for his brain all through the 8 years he ruled this country.

Ibime:
EfoRiro is Edikaikong pro max. Same thing but the tatashe base in EfoRiro elevates it far and above Edikaikong

Infact I discovered the way we cook Yam Pottage in the South is totally rubbish compared to Yoruba version that uses Tatashe base. Now I only cook Yampo with Tatashe

Efo riro also has locust beans in it while Edikaikong doesn't

Emaprince:
I'm surprised too. Thank God bode said all that when he was alive...so no one will be asking why he kept quiet since.

Bode George only repeated what is common knowledge in the banking sector . Even those who work in foreign operations desk of the bank make money playing with FX over the years

Interesting thread.

I don't know how true or false this is, though.

It's not just Wigwe, that's how most senior bank execs made their money in Nigerian banking sector;round tripping the dollars. That's why u see Nigerian bank MD's richer than most of their counterparts in other countries.

Wow! I didn't know Herbert Wigwe owned Craneburg construction company o

I just noticed the company came out of nowhere and they were executing projects in Lagos .

I didn't even know the flutterwave guy worked at access sef .

That is where I disagree. There is little to no accountability in government run institutions. Look at the nonsense in CBN where they forged the sgfs signature.

When the ogas at the top are running scams, you can be sure those at the bottom will be doing their own as well. Over invoicing, double supplying etc.

I do not want to comment on the Emefiele trial and the alleged signature forgery for now. No be today EFCC go carry people wey we know actually commit the offense go court and they won't be able to secure a conviction after so much energy is exerted on media trial without dotting their i's and crossing their t's.


I agree with u that there's no accountability in governance in Nigeria and that's why we are where we are today . However , I don't think the amount of military gadgets and wares in the hands of non state actors in this country were supplied by military or ex military men .

There are videos of customs showing announcing they seized arms, ammunitions and military wares imported illegally into the country . I'm thinking there are many of those shipments that scaled through and that's how those non state actors got hold of camo's , guns and ammunitions they use to terrorize the people

I remember asserting that military personnel were involved in provision of uniforms to bandits.

Yes u did, but the news piece is a shiit show of poor journalism . There was no mention of how the ex-Air Force guy got hold of the military paraphernalia he supplied. It may as well been gotten through military wares and gadgets imported into the country illegally which customs have been bursting once in a while .

U remember I said I don't think whoever is supplying the bandits military paraphernalia is stealing them from the military directly , rather it's more of a case of those items I listed illegally and same sent towards the way of non state actors .

I don't think any serving or ex military will steal so much military stuff and the military won't notice .

All these ponzi schemes point to another peculiarity - a lot of Nigerians actually have idle cash lying about. Because every other day some scheme - (agro it allied something something is now the package) is raking in billions from investors. The vibe I get is Nigerians are not properly informed because I think those stanbic ibtc type mutual funds would be better vehicles for their cash over the long term. More stable. I guess Nigerians are all about that magical 30% roi.

I don't think they have idle funds lying around ; u will be surprised that some people even sell their physical assets just to have cash to invest in these ponzi schemes just to make exorbitant profits after " cashing out".

We heard stories of wives "investing" school fees of their own kids handed down by their hubby in MMM and the likes with the hope of making their own money.. Kingtom narrated how a relative in cahoots with the daughter invested her gratuity ( which she should've uses to buy annuity or Govt bonds at least) just to show her husband that she knows how to manage money.

Those monies are not really lying around idle, it's greed and a delusional feeling of " I'm lucky and smart " that made them go extra mile to get the money and "invest "

There's a particular brand of basmati rice I bought 6k plus in December for I think the 2kg ; I bought same over the weekend to gift an elderly diabetic person for almost 9k for the same brand and size .

Omo ! Emilokan don turn enikan lomo o 🤯

This one choke ! Dem carry MBA trading go Shiloh after refusing to listen to voice of reason ; awon elesin .

U will be surprised that if another Ponzi scheme ones out next month this same person will be at the fore front promoting it hoping to be among the first set to cashout and lockup

[color=royalblue]It is like when they appoint someone to be there, they throw every bit of commonsense out of the window.

From retailes, to distributors, to contractors, to suppliers, to haulage companies, a lot are making their living from selling it

I pass through Intercontinental distilleries just near Canaanland, and you'll see so many trucks outside. That place is a beehive of activities

Then someone will just wake up and ban it because of registration number.[/color]

Government officials/agencies just take decision without any care about the ripple effect/consequence of their actions .

That's why I always tell people that even if I make billions of naira outside the shores of this country , I do not intend to invest a kobo in establishing business in Nigeria because the country is too unstable when it comes to government policies .

You can be doing ur normal legal business today and one yeye government policy will make ur business illegal overnight and ur investment gone down the drain. That's why I always credit those who have the heart to still invest in this country despite knowing how unstable things can be over here.

Omo if they wan increase, make dey increase joor.

I don quit alcohol, after the one I drink during S.E match, Omo I no see road that day.

I don enter chivita and hollandia yoghurt geng 😎

No be the drink worry that day , na the disappointment of Nigeria losing .

Even people wey no drink that day felt same way.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The way the economy is dwindling, and every sector is working as if Nigeria is fine is very funny.

NAFDAC is banning satchet alcohol, forgetting that a lot of jobs are created by these companies; let us not even forget about how taxes would be affected.

Their reason is that none of them are registered.

So why not force them to register? Why not drag them to your office and register, since registration is the issue?

[/color]

In Nigeria , we excel in throwing away the baby along with the bath water .

That was how I read about an estate in Enugu where they suspected some kidnappers hid some of their victims in one of the houses there. The next thing the government did is to demolish several buildings in the estate that had absolutely nothing to do with the kidnapper's hideout . It was one skit maker that whose house was about to be demolished in the same estate that made a video before the thing gained public attention and the state govt was now doing shalaye .

Like u rightly said , it makes absolute no sense to start shutting down those herbal liquor manufacturers because some of them were actually registered by same NAFDAC initially and this is not a good time for wielding of such big stick.

I will not lie, it just appears as if there's one evil hand pushing this government to keep taking anti-people decisions until the people snap at the breaking point . Because I no just understand.

Jodera:
I don't expect him to be rated like others tho esp their Saka, Rice and Odegaard dem

My whole point of 'underrating' is that most fans feel he's not good enough to be starting for us. Like if they were to rate him, it'll be like that 5-5.5/10 kinda player/performances whereby on an average he produces a 7/10 kinda performances. That's the kind of 'underrating' I'm talking about if you get what I mean.

In other words , u are assuming fans are underrating him

Jodera:
Aside this early season in which he was underwhelming (ie that's due to him reportedly playing through injury) he's been giving consistent performances.

Last season when he started playing as a RB, he's been giving good consistent performances at least a 7/10 rating. He's not giving an elite rating like them Saliba, Rice and co(the 8-9/10 ratings) but he's been good. Since after the winter vacation, he's been back to his good form also.

Big reason I said he underrated. He's just executing his job well albeit silently.

Na that " Aside " gan gan be the reason why he's not being rated like other players by fans .

U confirmed he was underwhelming for some parts of the season ; oya how do u expect him to be rated well like others ?

That's why I said he's not underrated , rather he's rated based on his performance over time which u urself has confirmed has not really been above 7/10 . Even that last season he still managed to have bad games more than some of his contemporaries .

Jodera:
Nice...
One of the most underrated Arsenal player.... Ben White

Nobody underrate white; he's the one that doesn't give consistent performance over a long period of time to make people regard him highly like other fellow arsenal players like Saka , Gabriel , Saliba , etc

🧐

KingTom:
You really saved her. Except na you be the pomzi itself or your main Gs na ponzi creators or you're fortunate enough to do first week or month... you'll always lose out in the long run

Top 2 reasons why Ponzi will always be successful in Nigeria are:

1. Nigerians naturally believe they are smart.

2. Nigerians always believe they will be lucky (They believe they will always be among the few)

KingTom:
On the contrary, it was an unintelligent and ill calculated scheme by mother and daughter, they didn't let my uncle know and wanted to shock him with their investment returns. Needless to say, the man was really shocked

Ohh....Dem wan turn investor Sabinus overnight. I don't know why some women are like that sha.

During the MMM era, a female relative's saving grace was that she asked what I think about the whole MMM frenzy. I told her that like all previous ponzi schemes, it will crash and people's money will be trapped.

The following week MMM crashed ! She later told me that I saved her from serious debt which would've included her hubby's money she held in trust on his behalf.

KingTom:
My cousin carried her mother's pension abi gratuity of 4.5m go dash MBA. This thing I'm telling you caused that woman multiple strokes and almost sent the father to his early grave

Ah!

Which kind greediness go make person invest money wey no be him own into ponzi scheme? Abi she feels her mother's money is her own money ?

Shegzdave:
That first comment is so funny;
From Emiliokan to Enikan lomo

That commen off me

It actually described the guy's condition sitting in the front of the cement shop

izzou:


[color=royalblue]Those ponzi threads can be funny.
[/color]

I remember the MMM is back own; na that one funny pass

"Investors" were happy MMM came back and were even insulting anybody that ever criticised the pnzi scheme, only for them not to be able to withdraw their "investments" despite the comeback. That shiii was funny as hell

izzou:
[color=royalblue]He did naa

Even when the MBA closed shop, some monikers were still defending the whole scheme.

That thread dey always make me laugh [/color]

That is a proof that people who come online seeking for advise don't actually want any advise they will act on. Imagine how the first few respondents cleared him that the whole thing was ponzi but he chose not to listen. People like that actually deserve to lose money to scammers.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]This thread never gets old.

Whenever i need some comic relief, i go back and read again[/color]

Wait, don't tell me the op invested the N2m he posted about and it was swallowed by the ponzi scheme?

I just read the first page and don't have strenght to read through the rest.

andrewbaba44:
The way some Nigerians hype this jay jay okocha is very annoying .

Okocha na naija football legend/superstar just like David Beckham for England. He may not be the greatest footballer that ever donned the white and green jersey, but superstars will always get the hype just like Beckham does.

The guy go be elder for church. Na like this dem dey settle fight between choirmaster and head usher when dem dey chyke the same sister for church.

Aswear. See the way he fold hands like elder dey dish out word of wisdom.

Kudos to the sports minister 👍

DSS quizzes KADUNA Islamic Cleric for criticising hardship under Tinubu.
Order for arrest came from Abuja.

https://www.nairaland.com/7999098/dss-quizzes-sheikh-auwal-shariff

This is the most interesting part of the post

Tinubu and Buhari are like Pharaoh and Haman; there is no difference between them. If not for Tinubu’s lack of respect and dignity for Nigerians, how can you announce the removal of subsidy in your inaugural speech?

After announcing the removal on the inauguration stage, the petrol price jumped from around N200 to over N600 before the president left the venue

Ideally, he should have consulted his economic team before making such a hasty decision; even the military, which rules by decree, don’t make that kind of pronouncement

Yet a certain monerozi commended Tinubu for the same act; heck he believes he's the best president ever for being Mr "talk and do"

DissTroy:
Don't blame Buhari. Don't blame Tinubu. Pray for the President, but same you stated the below:

Person wey dey deluded. Maybe him na APC ward chairman for for one LGA for Northern Kaduna sef wey person just dey waste time dey debate am, I no know.

I talk this thing on May 29th 2023 while people were on this same thread justifying the removal o

BlueRayDick:
The funny thing is most people won’t understand the effect until coming days when transport costs will go high up, cost of powering households go up, productions costs go up and general costs of running businesses go up in the absence of stable electricity .

I’m interested in what labour leaders will do about the matter sha .

A001 also called it

A001:
Don't get your hopes up about the incoming BAT government, bro. If it's actually true BAT has removed the petrol subsidy without even giving Nigerians some time to prepare for the tough times ahead, then people will wish Buhari was still the president as woeful as the outgoing administration is.

I hope it's not true BAT will remove the subsidy in this manner even after NUPENG warned him not to take that step hurriedly.

Make una see person wey una dey argue with

monerozi5590:
Tinubu just confirmed subsidy has been removed.

Tinubu tried in his speech. Na man you be.

I think Tinubu is the first president since 1999 that has reaffirmed his promises after election.

God bless Tinubu.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Okocha just put up a post on IG trying to encourage his nephew but look at what people are still writing in the comment section for 4ck sake 🤦‍♂️
