Dead on arrival
Why now that election is close by, i hate such mumu play if it's true

The guy actually resembles Sanwoolu and someone confirmed Sanwoolu actually worked in Warri(I think for a bank) around that period the guy claimed he was conceived. If not for immunity, I would've wished for Sanwoolu to grant him audience and put the matter to rest once and for all.

I'm surprised nobody is talking about the Sanwoolu paternity matter, I no know say Sanwoolu sef na winger wey dey ball like Mo Sallah

Initially when I saw the news earlier this week I thought the guy is one those attention seeking citizens , but this one I'm now reading the mum met Sanwoolu when He was working in Warri and they had affair, It's looking like the guy's mum may not be far from the truth.

Unfortunately Sanwoolu has Immunity and cannot be compelled to submit himself for DNA test by any court. Even If Sanwoolu family members step in and want him to accept the child, I'm not even sure Sanwoolu's wife will agree.

Awada keri-keri

Nketiah and martinelli will fight for the place
We are getting winger and midfielder no CF

In my opinion, they are both not good enough to fill Gabriel Jesus' shoes upfront. I don't see either of them giving us at least 70% of what Jesus offers upfront. I will prefer we get a striker and a midfielder. If Pepe leaves on permanent basis, then maybe we should get an additional winger to replace him.

After seeing you reward incompetence why will he get in there and do better or even be answerable to Nigerians when they voice displeasure at his performance.

Person wey don dey tell people complaining about the APC government to “shut up “ before he even become president , only God knows what he will do and say when he gets there .

All through the past 7 years Nigerians are almost always begging buhari to address them as a nation; only God knows if Nigerians no go see pass Buhari shege for the Agbado man hand .

The same Lagos I see Lagosians crying about everyday because of traffic and all other poor infrastructure

One of the places consistently voted as one of the worst cities on earth? It's a pity people don't travel. If you move around enough you would know Lagos is not a city remotely worth bragging about.

City wey be glorified asylum

“Tinubu built Lagos” Lagos na story wey don cast , even his core loayalists telling the story repeatedly repeatedly to make it seem like the gospel truth don’t believe that shiii.

On this very thread I’ve discussed what Jakande did just within 4 years that turned him to a legend anytime a discussion about OG governors in Lagos crops into the conversation . Thanks to Jakande some of our elderly Lagosians own flats in Jakande estates spread across the state based on their meagre income back then ( That’s Jakande’s low cost housing estate scheme that has now been replicated albeit with the low income earners not having access to the so called Low cost housing schemes we hear of now because most of them get sold at no low cost and politicians buy them on pre-order sef)

Even recently Atiku ( Tinubu’s bosom friend ) was in Lagos and he told Lagosians it’s a lie that Tinubu built Lagos . He recalled 53 years ago when he first came to Lagos how it was , the social amenities available as provided by government , how over the years they were improved on by successive military governments (by virtue of the state being the capital )

We already agreed that the Bourdillon man saw the problem of revenue collection , solved it , helped himself to as much as he can out of the revenue , came up with solutions to some state problems while at it , and handed over power to those who believe in “help yourself while helping the state philosophy “ .

Honestly nothing to see here , but I understand this is Nigeria where we are beleaguered with bad leaders who would not even do anything to help the people while robbing the state blind ; so it’s understandable some people will see Tinubu as the Messiah Nigeria needs even after Tinubu recommended the failed Buhari to us .

Does it mean we won’t buy a striker and only rely on Nketiah/Balogun as our strikers in the coming new year where we will face a lot of difficult matches? We better buy striker ; all this recalling Balogun I no dey understand o.

The movement is bigger than Obi himself. He's simply a vehicle via which we the youths and patriotic Nigerians from all around the nooks and crannies of the country are using to seek good governance. A people oriented movement.

It will live beyond Obi. The masses have found their voice's. We will prop up another figurehead. Bit we know, Obi will never step down!
Come February, after the runoff elections, Obi will be the Grand commander federal republic of Nigeria.

Baba u didn’t answer the question o, u only succeeded in turning amala

Donjazet2:
I'm in tune with you. The only problem is just that it's difficult to trust this government if not policies like these that might inconvenience the public is something they're willing to near if the trust is there that the result will be beneficial in the long run.

A short term pain for a long term gain.

Let’s just see wait and see how things will pan out.

Theflint1:
My own be say the 5% and 10% dem say dem wan charge just too much, but on the upside, this policy could effectively kill the kidnapping for ransom business.

This why I'm open minded about this new policy. Normally I'm not the best of fan of this failed Buhari led APC government, but I'm seeing the possibility of making life difficult for Kidnappers and Bandits who demand millions at will and overnight people cough out millions in cash to the kidnappers, they release their kidnappers and business continue as usual. Remember it was reported that one on the train kidnap victims(I think It's the Bank of Agriculture top guy) had his family and friends cough out N100m and he was released . Do u know what N100m can turn to in the hands of those blood thirsty criminals ?

So I'm thinking just maybe if the Kidnappers and Bandits know it's practically impossible for the victim's family to just mop up that much cash within short period of time , just maybe they will think of the "Business" now as being less profitable and more risky. At least no kidnapper or Bandit will be foolish enough to accept transfer which leaves a paper trail.

I'm giving the government and APC CBN governor Emefiele the benefit of doubt on this one.

Segedinho:
This is from another angle......

https://mobile.twitter.com/DavidHundeyin/status/1600392167955931138

Hudeyin didn’t make any special discovery . It was practically glaring in the circular/communique released by CBN . The government intends to tax u for insisting u will withdraw over the counter above the specified limit in the circular (100k and 500k per week for individual and corporate entities respectively )

Let me paint a scenario of how things can play out . For example some mid sized companies can have their petty cash limit as 200k , so anytime they need to reimburse the petty cash they will normally send a staff to the bank with a cheque to withdraw cash and reimburse the petty cash .

Now normally withdrawing over the counter is cheaper for such firms cos transfers attracts charges and so the company may not be a fan of transfer . Now what CBN is doing now is making it unwise for u to insist on OTC withdrawal cos U will be charged 10% of the extra 100k above the limit ( which is 10k ) …… when in fact U can just have internet/mobile banking activated for u and u do transfer to any of ur local vendors like the person that supplies the office toiletries , the mechanic that repairs company’s cars etc .

So yes , the government is using one stone to kill two birds .

Burna would have gone pass this but he's a controversial and violent person
No brand will like that, maybe his own weed is special

I think u are getting things the other way . The fact that Burna could get to this level today was because his mum took charge of things and handled his PR/Management . Without Burns’s mum doing her thing , Burna would probably be a more talented Portable with many bags and luggages getting invited to police station today , get caught assaulting someone on camera tomorrow , and so on.

Just imagine say na someone like Kogbagidi be Burna Boy manager

And back to Big Wiz, I think Sunday Are(his manger ) doesn’t get enough credit he deserves in the Wizkid success story sha

AnfieldFan:
He deserves it....When you lay it all out like this, it lends more credence to his spirit and how much effort and work went into his success...

Burna's own took me by surprise too, but he's also done well for himself with his crossover...And I must point out that his writing has improved, comparing his projects before Outside to those after , there's a sharp difference in his lyricism...I hope he doesn't lose this...
It feels good to no longer be the only Burna fan in a room...


But then again, where does Davido factor in all these?
I think he's comparable..

Davido sef na GOAT for him own Lane.

It's just that different people have different reasons for liking any of the 3 of them the most.

nihilistjnr:
Omo Wizkid's own blowing was mega. I remember going to see him perform Hola at Your Boy at TigerTiger night club in Manchester in 2011 or 2012, it was OK but nothing major

After he split from Banky, the guy played one card that in my opinion was the masterstroke and key to his success.

In 2012 Fuse ODG and Dbanj crossed over on the UK charts with their mega hits Antenna, Azonto and Oliver Twist respectively. I think those were the first 3 Afrobeats songs to ever chart and achieve mainstream success in the UK.

Wizkid now released his own Azonto song that year, piggybacking on the success of Fuse ODG in particular. That was the song that changed his life.

The guy performed at 1xtra live that year and the crowd was singing it bar for bar word for word. I remember Clara Amfo the BBC 1xtra presenter at the time was shocked. He did wireless festival in 2014 as well with Kanye West.

The next Wizzy did was to leverage his success in the UK to almost exclusively focus on the UK market, collaborating with maleek Berry( back to the matter), going on tour with Tinie Tempah who was hot at the time, linking up with Skepta who would eventually hook him up with Drake.

Wizzy's 2013 - 2018 run in the UK was epic.

The only person to come close to that is Burna

Yeah, u are not wrong at all. Like the young man carried himself from a young promising act with no record label to one of the biggest show headliners not only in Africa but even beyond the shores of the continent.

Burna really gave him a chase tho, as in better hot pursue

GloriousGbola:
I no go lie, this country is fked. I saved 90% of my money during my nysc. I met an old classmate post nysc who had served in the east, used savannah bank and done same. Thanks to Obj fking nwobodo over and shutting down savannah bank her money - gone.

Chick was like I no dey save shishi again.

But Nigerians have short memories sha. So many people defending the Saraki wey disappear their money then

That is why u will never see me defending some of these people. SGBN and Savanah Bank failure took the lives of people ; some people who were in the middle class then fell off below the poverty line due to dem Sàràkí and Co 4king them over.

Savanah head office on the island is now a suit warehouse . If u want to do wedding, wan go dinner, or u get ordination as pastor, just find Ur way to former Savanah head office on Broad street and u will get confirm Turkish material suit there

GloriousGbola:
The power of record deal.
And Because they carried the risk.
No guarantee nigga go blow.

In hindsight which is always 20/20 dbanjs exit from mohits was a wrong move. All that kanye west Good music thing just fizzled out.

I think where Banky W messed up was not reviewing Big Wiz's contract after he Don blow. He waited too long till Wiz got advise from vultures lurking around.

GloriousGbola:
Heh

Na Obj direct intervention wey save okocha who had his 1m pounds trapped in Société general back then if I recall well

I remember kanu also got some serious fking some time back

There are some words used to derisively describe celebrities. Idle rich, dumb rich that sort of thing. Because while some of them have a skill that makes them quick and large amounts of money, not all of them are able to manage it, if their accountants and family and partners are not robbing them blind.

Beyonce dad was chopping her and it was jayz that showed her the way.

Happens everywhere and to so many of them. Off the tip of my head . Snipes, hammer, nic cage, gazza, tlc

If you a baller money went as quick as it came.



In our own naija where you cannot run a biz without being on ground. I am sure you remember the craze portable was showing. Because he knows exactly what's up

I think it was N1billion Okocha had trapped in SGBN. My old man used to lament how he and other shareholders lost their shareholdings, depositors lost their funds with the bank and then only Okocha gets to collect his N1billion cos he's Nigeria's national team captain.

Mumuman naim Dbanj be. See as banky w realise day music business no work for am again, my guy quickly package himself into politics so he can go and make change lool

The moment Big Wiz left Banky, Mr Wellington knew game was over.

But Banky and that Toolz husband ( demurin) really chop Wizkid gan ó. A whole big Wiz dey collect 25% of every money he made for them.

Theflint1:
Don Jazzy na proper business man, those times wey e dey come out dey do mumu things people go say make e dey act mature and all, not knowing say baba dey build e personal brand, man recently released Jazzy Burgers, he's successfully built a personal brand he can continue to leverage off.

If u know how bankers dey use money find Don Jazzy say make alaye move at least one of his business accounts to them. Omo Don Jazzy really made the best out of their mo hits split gan o

He will chop beans for kirikiri if he's guilty
But don jazzy changed na

Don Jazzy na big man na. Don Jazzy has Mavins' crew making him mullar on a weekly basis, he Don get investment in oil/energy sector and he has so many endorsements that still pays his bills.

Dbanj fell off 4-5 years ago. I used to have a friend that worked with his management team/record label as an accountant. Baba, Dbanj no get money again.

iamoyindamola:
Yeah
I thought all that will stop when he get the fame

The problem with scam is if u go Legit and somehow become broke, u will have no choice than to go back to scam to level up or just be poorer than u were before scam.

Nostradamus1:
You must be a Former or present Uniben student,No?

No I’m not . I never even enter Edo state before but for one time in 1998 when we pass there go Rivers state for a wedding .

Why do u think I’m either Uniben present or former student ?

Spy360:
Even if he accepts I don't see why you would want to.

For me it's childish comparing stuffs. Like kids comparing their toys or what brand of cars their parents own.

You have stated that you are comfortable as a person. If that's not enough and they want to know whether you use plastic spoon or not it's meaningless.

I have seen some very wealthy persons use cheap phones I can't try myself. Let's focus on taking back our country from political thieves and robbers.

Don J reading the bold part of ur post like.....

Breakie : Fried rice + ponmo + cow tail + beef + dodo

PS: I’m not a big fan of dodo, I just like seeing it on food.

But come to think of it, how did these two guys move from giving betting tips and recommending bet prediction sites to being at each other’s necks ?

People wey study “peace and conflict resolution” supposed come explain to us how this thing take possible ? Like these guys were practically buddies na.

Omo! Forensics just dey go left and right.

Shey person no go find "phone condom" buy like this, So person go wear for phone before posting comment nairaland ?

Omo.. What can FG get right?

Shebi I talk that time say creating a polar union does not guarantee anything as far as re-occuring strike in Universities are concerned. Ngige's method of solving a problem is by creating another problem

Theflint1:
Naa, I would. My point is there's people that don't take note of stuffs like that, and it's also possible the possible it wasn't a phone he used for long, making it even more likely he doesn't remember the phone.

I don't know why I find this post funny

Messi doesn't need a change of league or team to prove himself in my opinion. He's proved himself on the big stage several times.
