Wow!

So David Hudeyin was right afterall . Na wa o

Una sure say Buhari no go just retire go Niger instead of Daura when he eventually leaves the seat ?

Even the finance minister say she no fit question Bubu decision say na him prerogative

People just dey unnecessarily violent on Twitter

Pix 1 - Seyi Tinubu squatting before the Ooni of Ife and a BATified tweep is trying to sell him off as a very respectable Omo Odua who respects the customs and traditions of the land

Pix 2 - Same Seyi Tinubu touching the “bear-bear “ of the Oba of Lagos casually (as posted by a vawulent tweep countering the position of the initial poster )

My question is , how do these people quickly dish such things and come up with receipts ?

Oasis007:


Enrolled?! You're a Graduate now bruh.

Na una gimme vawulence bitters drink o

This is erudite whataboutism. Your blood too dey these days. There was really no need to insult the guy like that especially since he has a point which you may or may not agree with. Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words.

The deed has already been done, the offender has been punished , he has apologized what else does he want ? Does he want to drink Rufai’s blood ?

I called him idiottt because I feel he was low on intelligence going by his post. He said “ there should be consequence for Rufai’s insolence “ …. What other consequence does he want when the law has already taken its course ?

And yes , he’s from Niger state .

Just corruption, pure and simple. That's why they detest when they post them around Alausa and environs.

Agberos collect owo Lastma from danfo drivers now that they remit at the end of the day of those posted to the area so the danfo drivers can do as they like.

The highest u can do in Alausa axis is to dance while on duty and hope road users who admire ur hard work will dash u money

https://www.nairaland.com/7261316/muric-condemns-lagos-including-crk

MURIC sha wan scatter the peace and harmony that exists between Christians and Muslims in the south-West sha .

Na when the guy show face we begin see Christians and Muslims fighting each other for right to wear Hijabs and other stuff that we’re never issues. I attended a public secondary school in Lagos and Tuesdays and Fridays Muslim Assembly prefects conduct assembly the Muslim way while every student follows the programme irrespective of ur religious leanings . The Christian assembly prefects conduct theirs on Monday , Wednesday and Thursday .

On the Muslim days the students are allowed to use hijabs if they do wish and it was never an issue .

Since the day MURIC has come to limelight he’s just been doing everything possible to fan embers of division amongst these peaceful neighbors . Mehn!

I think MURIC is the one people should be asking the question : “ Who is bankrolling you ? “

LASTMA and those taskforce are a menace. How do you begin to even reorient those that are supposed to uphold the law but will rather collect bribe from some to look the other way and pounce on some?

Selective punishment for the same crime. Nigerians are a special breed.

And to think those LASTMA guys get paid well like other civil servants in Lagos . It’s just annoying that they see themselves as equal with police officers whom one can excuse their corruption for being paid poorly.

The way they usually drag steering with private car owners who are sometimes women is appalling . I always shake my head knowing even if u sack them and recruit fresh ones they will still turn out the same way

Wahala just dey everywhere

With Leno's exit, Ramsdale takes No 1 Shirt!

GloriousGbola:
because the moment they collect your key, na to drive off with your car to the designated settlement point.

Once they drive ur vehicle from the spot, ur settlement fee has definitely tripled

GloriousGbola:
i suspect he believed he was in the right and that the officers were trying to obtain him.

Well , we will never know Rufai's state of mind as at the time he was arrested, but one thing is sure; if he had settled like most people do he would not have been in the mess he is. I'm guessing probably he saw other vehicles ahead of him who risked it and they were successful in passing the same BRT lane; maybe he wasn't that lucky and that infuriated him and made him start name-dropping the governor.

I remember a day my guy was driving and we were headed to UNILAG axis, while on that Jibowu bridge we could see the traffic to Yaba was massive....while at the end of that bridge there's a one-way that leads to that university road. One woman driving ahead of us just took a detour and followed the one-way to beat the traffic(The funny thing about that road is once u drive for less than 30 seconds the road is no longer one-way) ...For reasons best known to those LASTMA guys at the junction they allowed the woman, so my friend followed and those LASTMA guys picked up that iron they carry that's full of thorns to block and arrest us.. My guy just accelerated and the LASTMA guy jumped out of the way in an instant ( I was shocked cos It all happened in an instant)

Now imagine if the LASTMA guy had been successful in arresting my guy, I'm sure he will be upset they allowed the woman ahead of us while he's used as scapegoat. I won't rule out the same scenario for Rufai's case

Theflint1:
Simple, his crime was not settling the issue on the spot. I'm sure he'd have tried proving right or insisting due process is followed which means the money does not go to them and that's why the issue got escalated. The normal thing with these riff raffs na to squeeze 5k or 7k enter their hand and you'd go your way. These guys take advantage of faulty road designs and traffic signs to extort drivers, sometimes they even allow/trick drivers into committing crimes so they can extort them.

They do this shiiit wella on Lagos Island roads and Yaba axis where u have so many one-way roads. They even have touts who disguise as by passers who would assure u the road is not one-way when u consult them as a newbie on those roads. The moment u take the bait, u will just see them appear from nowhere struggling with u on the steering.

In Lagos traffic officers and police officers do not arrest u to correct u, but to extort u. The same BRT lanes they gloat over, Navy , Army and airforce personnels ply them without any hassles.

[color=royalblue]If the government apologises for the adulterated fuel, would it be meaningful?
[/color]

If the government apologizes it means they are taking responsibility for their wrong doing ; yes that’s meaningful at least to someone like me .

It’s a starting point , as against the total disregard for the people whom u were elected to serve

GloriousGbola:
abeg let us call it what it is - a traffic offense. unless you have actually killed someone, i do not believe this falls into the classification of a crime, much as our men in black and the preening authority figures like to imply it is.



for context - does this look like a BRT lane?

this is one of the shared pictures

no concrete divider, no single yellow strip, no BRT written at intervaks

Well he has himself to blame for the negative publicity sha. Most common Nigerians would’ve sorted those guys and bounce without the whole scene he caused .

I’ve said it here before , Lagos is a jungle where those task force guys are predators looking for ignorant road users to prey on. Oshodi Oke is a case in point ; u see yellow commercial buses dropping passengers and carrying more passengers on the bridge ….. In fact buses going to Mile 2, Orile and Cele Express load their buses on the bridge ( as we speak u can go there and confirm this ) . The task force/LASTMA team are right there and would not dare arrrest them for obstructing traffic , but the moment u as a private car owner drop a colleague u assisted at that same place u will be hounded by the task force guys and their touts with guns being flashed at ur face . The least U will pay is 30k for an offence yellow buses are committing right in ur front

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I quite agree with you that he owes no one any apology. That's why I classified it as empty and useless.

Most times, it's not about being convicted and paying the penalty. Its about the intent.

What was Rufai looking for in a BRT Lane? He clearly broke the law, and to make it worse, was trying to bully the officer. Because he knew the governor, he was trying to bully the policeman...The very same thing our politicians and people in authority do.

Person never get constitutional power, e don dey shout "Do you know who I am"?

The apology is useless, my brother. He's no different from the people he's warning us about on TV[/color]

There’s a reason why there are punishments stated in the criminal code for offenses committed . His apology is only meant for people who expected better behavior from him ( and these are objective members of the public , not politicians and their apologists who will always see him as an enemy cos of the job he does ) .

Penalties are there for u to learn ur lesson and desist from such acts .

Nigerians sometimes earlier this year bought adulterated fuel that was imported into the country under the supervision of a government owned agency . Has anybody been apologized to for having their engines knocked by the bad fuel , talk more of getting compensated ?

Rufai has done the right thing in tendering apology for his reckless behavior despite serving his punishment ……. Anybody that wants an apology that is not empty should fill up the apology for him

izzou:
[color=royalblue]As much as you're right, the guy is right too.

An empty, useless apology

If his state governor apologizes for failing his people, it would still be useless and empty.

There's no difference in character between Rufai and the state governor, if we are being honest[/color]

What do u expect Rufai to do after being convicted of a crime he committed and paying the fine that comes with conviction ?

Is he supposed to wear a sack cloth , throw ashes on his head and fall on his knees crying to the God for forgiveness like people do in Biblical times ?

As far as I’m concerned he’s apologized to his family , friends, colleagues and well wishers who expected better behavior from him and that’s enough . He owes nobody else any apology ; however his detractors wish to view is apology is their headache .

At this point I think some people are deliberately stupiiiid .

Rufai committed a traffic offence , he was rightly charged and he’s paid the fine that comes with conviction . Now he took a step further to apologize to people who expected him to act better being who he portrays himself to be in the public space ; but this buffoon below still has something unreasonable to say about his apology .


This idiottt going by his name is probably from Niger state where Bandits have taken over large areas of the state ; his governor has never apologized for failing the people , the dullard president Buhari has never apologized for failing the people of his state for not providing adequate security as the C-in-C ; yet Rufai Oseni’s apology is his problem ….. smh

afrodoc2:
So you are saying the guy is a fabu master.

Not necessarily so. But I have problem with someone dishing out “facts” that don’t check out every other day . Just the same way I have problem with a visibly sick man who switches off during briefings/press conferences .

Jodera:
There's rumor flying that once arsenal sells/loan Torreira, bellerin and Mari, there'll be space for arsenal to include Tielemans and that's what they're working. There's already a gentleman agreement with Leicester and Tielemans that they'll bid for him once that space is cleared.

I hope it works well . Mari’s signing is proving to be unnecessary at this point sha .

To be honest the whole prison break and subsequent release of the kidnapped train passengers in batches by the terrorists looks suspicious kind of. But u know party men , if u talk now dem go say na out of hatred .

At least na APC Man dey propound the theory now

15-Thousand !

Maximum respek to Leno ! Man was a professional to the core ; even when he had difficult times and lost his place to Ramsdale he wasn’t throwing tantrums and busy granting interviews about why he needs to play and all….Despite the fact that he had to wait for his turn till we we were done with Cech, he still continued to be a professional who discharged his duty whenever he was called upon .

For Leno’s sake I hope Fulham don’t get relegated at the end of the season as usual.

Let's call a spade a spade. A 3rd class University graduate is basically an olodo. It takes lots of determination and never-say-die attitude to sink to 3rd class.

And Arts courses are not more difficult than other courses.

He might be smart in business but that his 3rd class shows academically he is a dunderhead.

Obi is definitely not book-smart ; he might be “other-smarts” but it seems book no be him way. I guess that explains why he keeps messing his speeches/interviews up with imaginary figures and statistics .

I used to have friends like that , they have head for a whole lot of good stuff, but when it comes to academics their head no dey always . Funny thing about such people is if u do mistake no go read well for exam and u ask them for help in exams, they will confidently tell u rubbish and u will thank them for it
