Yahaya Bello shake hands with Destiny (literally )

Sebastine1994:
I am a druggie, I sell drugs but I never consume it. The whole of gwarrimpa 4th avenue Abuja are my customer.

I know the dangers of using drugs but my profit comes first. The whole of federal secretariat Abuja, close to abia house, under bridge, I am the alpha.

Senators sons exchanged their fathers car in exchange for drugs. One incident a former IG of police wanted to arrest me for car theft. I produced all my papers and evidence. His son sold the car to me

Buhari’s APC administration has spent over 14.65 billion on Nigeria Air between 2019 and 2021, yet no office address , no aircraft in sight and no contact details of the “new national carrier “ promised by Buhari and his handlers .

Na only on top fez cap Nigeria Air dey exist with days left to the end of Buhari’s administration ; yet Femi Adeshina says Buhari is leaving Nigeria better than he met it.

These are real issues; these are matters the news & print media should be bringing to our consciousness.

Blueraydick go like community service or NGO job, i can assure you he will do it with heart

Not really, I don't just like it when makes the thread centered around tribal divisiveness.

Normally we all know the unrepentant tribalists here and they know themselves; they do not intend to change and there's no amount of tackling that will make them change. It's what they do.

I don't see the need to continually make the thread non-conducive for reasonable discuss all in a bid to call tribalists out, the thing dey tire person asear.

iamoyindamola:
Am i missing something?

Yes, he made this post below; he's obviously referring to westerners as Ndi Waste

Ballzproblem2:
since chimamanda started receiving abuse from ndi waste .

Donjazet2:
Firstly, not only tribalism but also religious sentiments. Those are the 2 factors that undoubtedly shape the vast majority of their views which I have persistently called out and which has obviously proven true.
2. The nostradam guy is definitely not who is posed as but I leave it to time to expose that.
Thirdly, when talking about tribalism we can see which party supporters swim in it. Look at how hoesis was quick to jump into ballzproblem because of a largely inconsequential post (which I do condemn). The post was barely noticable to anyone until they highlighted and started using it as a justification for their divisiveness.

These people are evil. Plain and simple.

As a southwesterner what the ballz guy said is inappropriate and not inconsequential as u call it. Have u thought maybe if the ballz guy didn't make that statement, maybe those calling him out for it won't need to ? U cannot beat a child and then ask him/her not to cry.

The ballz guy is not different from the unreasonable people who make statements like: " Obi supporters are delusional", "Obi supporters are daft", "Obi supporters are illogical", etc.

Donjazet2:
Like! I really don't get how people will be this heartless.

You have seen with your eyes how bad this party has ruined nigeria yet you offer yourself as a willing tool to defend them with your life simply because the leader of the failed party is someone who speaks and hears your language. How stupid is that?

Make u sef rest with this tribalism narrative na! Haba!

That nostradamus guy is Igbo and supports Tinubu, Monerozzi is a Christian Notherner and supports Tinubu, I'm Yoruba and supported/voted Peter Obi etc..... No be everybody wey support Tinubu is a tribalist; different people support different candidates for reasons best known to them. Rest on this tribal narrative na.

Bishop Kukah said:

As you prepare to return to Daura or Kaduna, I do not know if you feel fulfilled or that you met the tall dreams and goals you set for yourself such as ending banditry, defeating corruption, bringing back our girls, belonging to everybody and belonging to nobody, selling off our presidential fleet and travelling with us etc.


Then Femi Adeshina retorted:

Those things don’t do credit to Father Kukah’s intellectual posture. He is somebody that we had always admired for his intellectual bent, but his opinions have been coloured by politics,” Adesina said.

“He (Kukah) talked about selling the presidential fleet. Was that ever promised? You know that in 2015, there were rash promises made that even the candidates did not know about. So, how can he start claiming that he promised that?” he queried.

He added: “Are we where we were on the issue of banditry in 2015? The job is not fully done, but are we where we were? If Fr Kukah is true to himself and true to his calling, he will know that this country is not where it was in 2015,” he said.

“Selling off our presidential fleet, let him (Kukah) prove that the President made that promise,” he said.


So Femi Adeshina is saying two things here:

1. Buhari never promised to reduce the number of jets on the presidential fleet ,but it's one of the numerous promises credit to the Buhari administration at inception, but never his plan/idea.

2. That Nigeria is better than how Buhari met it as far as security challenges is concerned.

These are issues we should be discussing today and not Agbado vs Obidient. Buhari is still the ruling president and his spokesperson is telling us he has kept his campaign promises. We should be having arguments from those who voted and still support Buhari and those who do not agree with this Deacon Adeshina's obvious lies during easter period.Make una no lose focus; Tinubu will have his day, he's not been sworn in yet.Make we tackle Buhari and his "tired" administration first.

The smouldering disillusionment felt by many Nigerians is not because their candidate didn't win but because the elections they had dared to trust was in the end so unforgivenly and unacceptably flawed. Adichie Chimamanda

This is why someone like me will never participate in any Nigerian election again . Even if Jesus Christ or Buddha is on the ballot box , I no dey vote….

I don wash my hands commot any kinda false hope that this godammed country can still get things right . The fact that a police spokesperson can tell us to assume Oluomo’s speech on the eve of the election was a joke and then we saw how things play out thereafter ; omo…. Make dem dey (mis)govern us as they do please

Let’s just give Ramsdale his flowers and move on to the next match . Ramsdale saved our asses and kept Gabriel Jesus’ record of always winning or drawing all matches he’s scored in.

No need crying over spilt milk . It’s a good thing city is one of the teams we will meet in the closing stages of the league run. They are under pressure the same way we are. Let’s hope for best of luck and hope the boys play their hearts out .

My expectations this season was top 4 , but here we are trying to win the league ahead of star studded city team . For all its worth , I wish Arteta and his boys win the league eventually . However , If matter cast ; nothing spoil .

PDPGuy:
Rumors are making the rounds that the top two contenders for the NSA position are Nuhu Ribadu, and Gen. Dambazzau (former Chief Of Army Staff).

I will prefer the Dambazzau man to Ribadu for the NSA job. Ribadu is not an ex-security/military guy , I don’t think he will be right fit for the job .

Ribadu can be given other positions like Miniter for interior ; his proven track records will be useful in subset of the interior ministry like Nigerian Correctional services(the prisons ), immigration , etc . Perhaps he will be able to breath a breathe of fresh air into them.

A Saliba in this game could’ve ended in a win for us…. We go again next match

2-2 draw …..

Not a bad day in the office

Miracle no dey tire Jesus…. This our Jesus dey skillfull Abeg !

iamoyindamola:
We need to use our heads jesus and xhaka are getting agitated
Xhaka should come off in the second half for trossard abeg
Any red card will end us

I agree , a Xhaka red card will ruin us in this match

Jesus !

2-0 it is

Don’t wake me please

Wait you mean you don't know eyo is part of a cult/gang?
During eyo festival, beefing gang use the avenue to cause chaos. One of my uncle still have the custome and the stick. Eyo is nothing close to spiritual na big scam🤣 na why I no they rate oba of lagoon
As for police not shown in the fighting scenes that's the norms in island fight na, them never born any police papa to be at the scene they can only come after to pack bodies

I think say you grow up for island ni

U are not getting the point . I get how Lagos island gang wars play out, I know about the whole “ija por-shay” and all; but when those things sup finish police dey always go on random arrest of both culprits and innocents ….. some culprits get released silently by the police cos “hand don touch hand “ …..

What just didn’t make it real was police not appearing at all. If they had at least shown a police DPO shaking Kazeem and releasing some of his boys to him; it will make it more believable .

A001:
Okay. I also didn't like how most Yoruba actors supported and campaigned for BAT and APC during the elections, though I'm not active on social media.

Nevertheless, I still like and respect a number of them despite the fact they were bought by the greedy politicians. However, I like and respect Yoruba actors like Mr. Macaroni more.

I don’t even have anything against influencers/celebrities endorsing their personal candidates in a bid to get paid . Nigerian celebrities are just like footballers who have a short career span ; they need to make as much money as they can to sustain them when they are no longer the toast of the people .

That was why I never blamed Olaiya igwe that time he posted a video of his naked asss at the beach praying for Tinubu’s victory . The man upon further probing narrated how he was seriously sick and the Tinubu family ( Remi in particular) had him treated as top priority and cleared his medical bills …… she also gave him money to produce a movie when he was back on his feet .

I don’t question people’s choices in these kinda matter . Naija never better reach level wey u go dey expect people to look beyond where their bread is buttered and take a stand opposite of their benefactor.

A001:
You know many actors say several things in their movies they don't mean in real life. Actors do that all the time. Why did you actually find it funny?

Maybe because I don't follow Toyin Abraham on social media.

The bold is the reason . She kinda took the whole election campaign thing serious and unfortunately for her those who disagreed with her personal choice of Tinubu were trolls , frustrated youths and people who just don’t like her for reasons best known to them .

It’s good the elections are over sha….. some of these entertainers/celebrities made friends and enemies for themselves that period

A001:
Was the movie produced by Toyin Abraham?

No, it was produced by Jadesola Osiberu

The gangs of Lagos was a good one ; it wasn’t bad as I had thought .

I however have the following reservations:

1. I believe this kinda project is an opportunity to tell the story of a group of people ( in this case Lagosians ) ,but the producers chose to tell the wrong story . They could’ve talked about the hustle and bustle spirit of Lagos , not this gang wahala . I also find it difficult to connect the prologue of the movie where the commentator said “the first gang of Lagos “ are the eyo masquerades. The thing no make any logical sense and they didn’t do anything to try to link that statement with happenings in the movie as time goes on.

2. This movie glorified gangsterism from beginning till end . It also gives the vibes that it’s only political violence u can use to retire violent politicians/godfathers

3. The actors and actresses were all great and interpreted their roles well, but some of them should’ve been replaced with someone else . Adesuwa May be a very great actress and interpreted her role well, but someone who could speak more fluent Yoruba should’ve taken her place . She was named “Ebun” , yet her spoken Yoruba in the movie was no better than Chike whose character was “Ify “, an igbo guy . …… Zlatan, Chioma , Iyabo Ojo are naturals . They did really well in their respective roles and worthy of special mention .

4. The fight scenes are well choreographed and makes much sense than what I’ve seen in previous nollywood movies . Whoever handled the choreography should be handed more of such jobs in subsequent nollywood movies .

5. The fact that the Nigerian police was not even shown for once to at least be seen as enforcing the laws and maintains order ;e really get as e be. It made it look like police don’t even exist in isale eko.
I’ve watched enough narco themed movies/series and know that despite the police in Mexico/Columbia being on the payroll of the cartels, the police still pretend as though they have things under control from time to time . I can deal with corrupt police in a gang-crime-themed movie, but a movie with police almost non existent dey somehow sha .

For someone who doesn’t really dig naija movies , I think these producers tried ….. it can only get better from here

A001:
She's an actor. As a Christian, she can play the role of a Muslim. As a married woman, she can play the role of a single woman.

Of course I know this ; it’s just funny how the role she played is in contrast with her stand in real life. I guess the election seasons ending not too long ago make the whole thing kinda awkward

Donjazet2:
Haa! They have left you behind.
Since!!!!!

Sega was the first prominent social media personality against the Obidients. They completely reduced his relevance. Discovered that he ran a political troll farm that could help control narratives on social media and how he begged PDP for contract and also discovered he's simply a land agent.

Sega collect no be small.

I guess I missed a lot . I’ve really not been active on social media for a while ; na Twitter links posted here dey carry me go Twitter most times sef .

Na wa o.

I’m not surprised tho, most of those human rights activists , influencers and the likes always have their own interests behind most of the things they do. Na who too put mind/trust on them to be fighting for the common man dey always dey disappointed .

Sod09 I’ve started watching the gangs of Lagos .

It’s kinda funny Toyin Abraham is playing a role that is in contrast to her stand during this last elections .

She was lamenting how a single party had ruled Lagos for so long and one man controlling everything . Na the same Toyin dey trend #AsiwajuBaby throughout this last election .

Make I dey watch the film dey go sha; thus far in impressed by the fight scenes sha ; dem try

Donjazet2:
I say ehn, APC has never seen an opposition like this before.

Anybody wey talk rubbish, them don rush dig out the undiggable. The previously unknown

If no be for noise about treason this, treason that, would we have known that APC themselves called for parallel government if they lost?
Starting from segalink not being a lawyer despite masquerading as one to tinubu's daughter being a lesbian to Soyinka holding broadcasters at gun point.
Omo.. obidient CIA's have been something else. All these done by people who seek nothing personal, just a passion for a better country.

PDP has been largely relegated to the background. I don't even know any prominent pro-pdp account on twitter. We are APC's nightmare.

Segalink is not a lawyer ? 😳

When did this happen?

Uploading picture on nairaland has been a big headache for me in recent times( especially while on mobile ); so I just lock up .

White rice + goat meat pepper soup + turkey

sod09:
Blueraydick gangs of lagos is out
Nice watch naija producers are now trying
I have witness such violence that happened in the movie during Lagos carnival, a family member was lucky to be alive but he still carry the scars till date

Na like film when I was staying at Foresythe street obalende,I have followed someone to agarawu before

Omo things they shele for lag

I’ve been seeing people hype the movie on my timeline all weekend , but I still have my reservations about Nigerian movies ; especially these new school ones they hype to high heavens . They don’t always live up to the hype for me.

Maybe this one will be different sha ; I may try it in my free time

afrodoc2:
When you made that claim it shocked me too to be honest but when I remembered your Wike overconfidence during PDP primary I no come bother again.

You need to change your dibia sha, e be like say the mirror wey him give you get error due to parallax. 😂

Just look at ! I know some of the speakers in the video are deceased , while others are still very much with us in this world .

I won’t mind channels or any other credible media organization bring some of them into the studio and let’s hear what they think about the proposed subsidy removal 11 years after . I’m particukarly interested in Pastor Tunde Bakare, Femi Kuti , and Fela Durotoye’s opinion on the proposed subsidy removal
