CrystalTiger:So while Chelsea fans like John Lyon dey do kidnapping, Na Bandits Man utd fans dey do? Interesting! 😎

GloriousGbola:Some special government agencies are not under the contributory pension scheme. |
Ibime:There was a lot of fuss about it in the news back then. The house of assembly had a seesion on it and the invited the CBN governor to come address the allegations. I think eventually Cardoso appeared before the house and claimed it was voluntary exit and that nobody was forced to leave. They paid them over 50 billion is total as severance package. What I don't know is if they would pay them subsequent periodical pension (like staff who retire after completing stautory number of years for retirement) or if the one-off exgratia is all they would get. |
OkpaNsukkaisBae:Plenty of the insecurity issues don't even make the news. If you go on TikTok you will see videos of some victims recounting their kidnap experiences and how their families even sold properties to finance their ransom payment |
MorataFC:So long and short of what you are saying is that vocal to you means someone speaking up more than once ? ![]() You are literally forcing ur own definition of the adjective "Vocal" on me, Now I see where the problem is coming from. Adeboye petitioning Jonathan over insecurity and backing the petition up with a threat of protest was him being vocal. Adeboye Taking to the street carrying placard under Buhari's government to protest/observe "prayer walk" was him being vocal. Now are people wrong to expect him to be vocal in similar fashion under Tinubu's government? My personal opinion: NO! I don't know why you are typing plenty paragraphs honestly . |
MorataFC:Define what the word "vocal" means to you. |
Someone caught the Adelabu sister's kidnap on camera. In my personal.opinion this doesn't look like a terrorist attack at all. It looks more like a targeted kidnap carried out with just one single vehicle in sight https://x.com/mr__sulaiman1/status/2062126669834358895?s=46 The way DSS and other security agents to drill people wey dey live for this house ehn.... 🤷♂️ |
OkpaNsukkaisBae:Normally, na wetin security agencies supposed do investigation and provide answer to be this. But when you see body language of government and even minister of defense already making speculations that the attacks are likely politically motivated with accusation fingers pointed at opposition, we may not really fin out the reasons. |
OkpaNsukkaisBae:I'm not buying the whole conspiracy theory of always linking mining activities with terrorism jare? Is it mining that is responsible for the terrorist attacks in Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Ekiti and now Oyo? |
MorataFC:I don't why you are being unnecessarily defensive here. I posted a link to what Adeboye said about Jonathan's government already. Below is excerpt of his opinion about Jonathan's government in 2010. "The General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who yesterday initiated the move, insisted that it was high time religious organisations raised awareness over the depreciating standard of security in the country, adding “we cannot afford to celebrate, clinking glasses and congratulating each other when a horrendous decimation of the most vulnerable is picking up a pace and our stock of human capital heading for the abyssHe didn't just say the above, he actually sent a petition to Jonathan and collected signature of RCCG members who planned to join in the proposed protest. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/10/kidnapping-rccg-petitions-jonathan-to-stage-one-million-man-protest/ I'm not confusing Adeboye for anybody, you are the one reading my post with something else in your mind. |
Amoto94:https://guardian.ng/news/reps-panel-reads-riot-act-to-cbn-over-1000-sacked-workers/ |
Ibime:Last year CBN let go over 1000 staff of the apex bank while they were doing restructure; It made the news then. I think they were paid decent terminal benefits. |
Emaprince:Na wa o. The way those people are moving ehn.....One really needs to be careful traveling around now o |
CrystalTiger:That's my guess too.... The kidnap looks like a targeted attack ; what I don't know is why they think such kidnap will silence him or make him mellow down. He's been really making a whole lot of noise before and after the primaries. But the recent insecurity issue in Oyo State will definitely make it difficult for security agents to really be sure on where to focus investigation on in this case. |
The way those terrorists are now moving inwards after Kogi and Kwara.....hmmmm. It seems Oyo is the new place they are trying to overrun now. This one happened just yesterday night according to reports https://x.com/oyoaffairs/status/2062097023759749606?s=46

MorataFC:There are all sorts of character on Twitter. We are talking about Nairaland , this thread in particular. I don't see anybody forcing Tribal narrative into it here, rather people are seeing it from the lens of Pastor Adeboye not speaking up because Remi Tinubu is a pastor in RCCG. And there's also pictures of Pastor Adeboye eating with Tinubu's family online. I already explain the context of the whole thing stemming from mix-up in the timeline of events. It is majorly about Pastor Adeboye being vocal against the last 2 administrations when things weren't looking good. Perhaps you think it is okay for him to keep quiet now when he has been vocal in the past. |
CrystalTiger:Is this now a case of his political opponents going after his relatives or a random case of kidnapping linked to recent insecurity issues in Oyo state? |
izzou:Exactly why people are calling for him to speak up now instead of saying members should continue to pray for "our leaders". People expect him to be firm in speaking truth to power considering the security situation now is worse than it was back then. If you ask me, I will say the people are not wrong in their expectation one bit! He portrayed himself as one who cared and spoke up when it mattered most, so he should just keep up that appearance now and not look away like it's not his concern anymore. It's just the same way Wole Soyinka too had a lot of words for Jonathan and Buhari's administration but now he has lost his voice. Nobody really want octogenarians and nonagenarians leading any protest, but the people expect them to at least stand by their age long principle of speaking Up when things are not looking good in the country. |
MorataFC:I don't think it's an outright deliberate spread of false information per se, rather I think there was a mix-up over time in the roles Pastor Adeboye played and how vocal he was under past administrations. The fact is in 2010 under Jonathan's administration, Pastor Adeboye petitioned Goodluck Jonathan over the spate of insecurity in the country and he planned to stage a one-million-man protest. RCCG collected signature of members who may be interested in the rally, but the truth is that proposed one million march never took place eventually. Below is link to the news report back then in 2010. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/10/kidnapping-rccg-petitions-jonathan-to-stage-one-million-man-protest/ Fast forward to 2020, Pastor Adeboye along with some top pastors in RCCG held a "prayer walk"/ protest against insecurity under Buhari's government and that's the video/picture that is available online which people mix-up thinking it is the proposed 2010 protest under Jonathan which never happened. That being said, I think generally people are not happy Pastor Adeboye has not really been vocal as regards the state of things generally under this current administration like he did under Jonathan and Buhari's government. Most people believe he has a soft spot for the Tinubu's which makes him difficult for him to call Tinubu's government out directly like he did to his predecessors. |
I like the news I'm hearing that we want to wrap up our business in the Transfer market this window ASAP without any unnecessary delay or negotiations drawing far too long. It is music to my ears ![]() The fact that we are in a good place financially and we have a serious/solid team that just won the league definitely makes it easy for us to attract top talents in the market. I just hope we will clear our departure list too early. Let players like Gabriel Jesus and co be gone ASAP so we can know those who are staying and those leaving on time. I don't know Arteta's mind as regards Nwaneri , but if he will be staying we might not need to get another AM to deputize Odegaard and Eze. I think it will be best Nwaneri is developed for that AM role while Dowman should be for that RW behind Saka and Madueke. |
germaphobe:Yes o! Evidence of results cancelling insult! He's the only manager amongst the current crop of EPL managers that has actually won the league. I still marvel at the fact that his team came 2nd for 3 consecutive seasons, he didn't lose steam nor relent but made sure they kept pushing till they won the next year. It's actually not easy at all with that much pressure and fear of failure imminent . Arteta and the boys really deserve big kudos honestly. |
izzou:Most of them just dey protect their pot of soup ni. It's just that they are not being tactical in their approach to do so. |
Ellexy:The lady clearly lacks emotional intelligence, if not she would've read the room that people are genuinely pissed with the current APC government at the federal level and are not ready to listen to another government apologist gaslight them again. She just set herself up for drags. For sonsone who gets regular gigs from the APC government in Lagos, she ought to know any pro-govwrnment opinion she's airing will be tagged as she hustling for her next paycheck. If I was in her shoes, I would rather keep quite than make the kind of mess she's found herself now. It seems even her fellow gospel musicians have joined in calling her out sef |
izzou:😂😂😂 Traffic warden isọnù. All the crowd wey go welcome him for airport Don quickly cash out be that. |
izzou:😂😂 Dem no even allow am smell party ticket talk less of being of being on the ballot. |
izzou:NANS has since become a band of shameless political thugs for hire. |
izzou:He has data boys crashing out on his behalf on Twitter. Some of them vow that APC will lose for adopting Alli instead of Adelabu; they claim most electorates will vote APM instead of Alli of APC. Earlier this morning I saw video of an APC chieftain in Oyo state who said Tinubu advised Adelabu not to resign his appointment, rather he should take a leave of absence to go contest the primary. Adelabu didn't listen and now he has been slammed on Hard concrete ![]() I'm glad he never listen to Tinubu by resigning his appointment. Make he go find somewhere siddon abeg! |
izzou:Na special candidate ![]() |
Amigoos1:I think Assistant Pastors preach in RCCG.....Even deacons and elders sef dey preach occasionally . |
izzou:She might probably be preaching during the week sha, but I doubt such midweek services will get recorded or streamed like Sunday services are done. Come to think of it sef, how many times she go dey get time to attend Church even when she was a senator, talk more of now that she's a first lady. Shebi na who dey go Church regularly dem go dey give chance to preach on Sundays na. |
izzou:Not all pastors in RCCG preach na.....Some of them just sit on the alter to do minor functions like conduct "offering time, blessing time " , while others come out to call hymn during a Sunday service. I want to believe she falls under those categories , so u will hardly see any of her video preaching sermon online. |
iamoyindamola:She just dey whine us anyhow she like. Na she dey plant vegetable in her garden that time as solution to food inflation.....Na she still dey give us impression say she borrow money from Shettima wife. Even if she no get work, make she just keep shut and stop whining us abeg! |
