Gbam!!! You have said it all.
The most heartbreaking aspect of all these, are those that lost their lives in the Lekki massacre.
The innocents are getting shot while the activist are receiving pay checks in secret.
The situation of Nigeria is too heartbreaking, even GOD is ashame of the people.
How on earth will a Nigerian with full sense vote and campaign for Tinubu and Atiku?
Somethings happens in Nigeria and you just begin to wonder the kind of people you share the country with.
The problem of Nigeria now is that the bad and selfish people outnumbered the good and sincere ones.
Brother!!!! We are greatly outnumbered.

This is why I wish and hope Obi’s people can go offline and engage the voters on one-on-one basis, organize town hall meetings , have people spoken to in their local dialects; educate them on what is wrong with this country that needs fixing , let them know how much the two leading parties have stolen and still stealing , let them know the implication it has for their future , etc .

That’s why I’ve always maintained that any serious party that wants to take power off APC and PDP first needs to have a target voting audience listen to them …… The whole Twitter vibes won’t do , while they are on Twitter APC and PDP too are on Twitter with paid posters ; even professionals in the media , Public relations space and other opinion molders doing their own jobs too alongside with Obi’s supporters . The only way to at least match is if u have offline train that is working assiduously to discredit the government and make people see any of their mistakes as something that affects their future.

That was APC’s workbook pre-2015 and they were able to pull off the unthinkable .

Las las politics is a game of numbers and more often than not , the Will of the majority is usually imposed on the minority .

OhBritannia:
It's actually funny and unbelievable that people that all gathered to protest the end Sars,. Are still the ones shouting vote Tinubu,. Vote Atiku.

This country is a joke.

That’s the crazy aspect of it all. Na why I no dey follow people gather dey form any yeye activists; people who engage in it do it for selfish reasons most times.

Activism is like a bus going on long distance journey with people going to different bus stops , na when u reach ur bus stop ( where u begin cash out massively ) na there u go drop.

Look at people like Keyamo, he don do activism collect almost 8 years minister he don turn big man lawyer from activist. I’m sure lawyers in his chambers will not stress themselves arguing all day to convince a judge when their principal is now well connected and can get access to the judges at clubs, ranches, golf courses and other less official gatherings .

Me I dey always mark faces of people chanting Sai Baba, Jagaban Lokan etc…. U will not use stupid majority to put everybody in deep shiiit and later come back to me for financial assistance when shiiit hits the fan financially ….shishi u no go see .

Lots of links and “sauce” littered on Twitter.

Use the search words below on Twitter.


shettima kabiru

Shettima sokoto

Shettima Fannami Gubio

Shettima Kuje

Shettima Boko haram

Shettima Chibok

Search, read, you’ll see lots of links and “sauce” to satisfy your curiosity, read and be lowkey happy that the notorious fullani puppet Tinubu will soon end like the blood sucking Abiola who murdered people, pushed drugs and sponsored coups for the Fulani and still got disgraced.

Make I first chop , I go take my time to look at some of the links sha .

Tho I think the whole Boko Haram thing was just politicians initially arming a fundamentalist group till they grew into a monster that could no longer be controlled considering the fact that those coordinating the stuff are uneducated and have a short fuse . I’ve always read about Shettima and Sheriff dragging the post of “Boko Haram Life patron “ between themselves .

donjazet:

There’s nothing anybody want to cook about Atiku that is not already out there .

1. Atiku as deputy comptroller in customs was collecting Roger on a regular. He ensured cars of gf’s of military boys are cleared with little or no hassles in a bid to curry favor with the top military boys back then in hopes that he will be made the comptroller which never happened till he vex and retire .

2. Atiku is as corrupt as they come, he was a vP that was probed by senate committee .

3. Atiku collect bribe sotey those who gifted him bribes were jailed in America while Turaki Adamawa dey jolloficate and contest for elections every 4 years for Nigeria .

4. Atiku has so many businesses he uses to launder money; in fact he marries women for the purpose of laundering money for him

Atiku na poster boy for corruption , his principal confirmed this and referenced it in his book .

Most people rooting for Atiku are not expecting him to come and end corruption like deluded Buhari fans hoped for 7 years counting ……Atiku Stan’s are hoping he comes to unlock any lockables wey Buhari don lock without having anything to show for it. Buhari locked boarders for months with absolutely nothing to show for it ( I’m in the mood to debate this with any party agent that has contrary opinion to this ) , Buhari’s government has borrowed and borrowed to the extent that they borrowed money from unclaimed dividends( mostly dead shareholders of companies whose children aren’t aware of their father’s/mother’s shareholding’s ) ……., Buhari’s APC government has shown they definitely cannot manage a country like Nigeria hanging in the Balance; rather he’s made things worse . ……::: seeing people like Dino Surrounding Atiku shows Atiku no dey come do anything meaningful.


In a sane environment an alternative like Peter Obi would’ve been a preferred candidate for people who do not want continuity of the misery Buhari and his APC boys ( Tinubu boys ) have brought upon us , and those who cannot bear to see a corrupt person like Atiku rule us…… but then this is Nigeria .

This is Nigeria where the same people who were fighting for Palliative are now queuing behind those who hid the palliatives to vote for them ( Yeah I saw this on Twitter and it hits so hard ) .

In case most people have forgotten , as of today there are queues at filling stations with people getting to filling stations as early as 4am just to buy fuel , terrorists are breaking into military camps, prisons , airports and even train stations, looters are joining the ruling party and their court cases are taking forever , university students are staying at home for over 5 months , etc .

Abeg me I need the “sauce” of this ur new cooking ; Make we sef feel am. Post links abeg

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Yeah

I mean, we should be seeing names and pictures of the escapees littered all over the media. These guys are hardened, and people need to be aware and conscious

Rather, dem go tell us one name today, another in 4 market days.

I even feel most of these criminals must have moved out of Abuja sef.

Everybody na him dey at risk[/color]

I believe the terrorists must have gotten rid of the records biding down the records section of the prison . It will be hard for our government to come up with accurate backup data if the escaped prisoners . I do not trust our systems like that .

One can only advise his friends, families and loved ones to be extremely careful so as not to be victims of these criminals .

I remember a friend relaying a conspiracy theory to me immediately after the attack was confirmed , and he said the government may have entered into an agreement with the terrorists to let them have the prisoners while they on the other hand release the train kidnap victims . I argued with him it was not possible but he said let’s wait for coming days to see if the victims of the train kidnap will be released and thus far some of them have been released as he predicted . At this point I don’t even know what I think about this present government , na make person just protect himself .

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Can we even have a list of those who escaped from Kuje?

Abi na once in a while dem go dey drop one

A lot of criminals with deadly records escaped that night ; government is just trying to downplay how ugly the situation is to prevent spreading panic.

People who keep late nights , those who drive Uber and newbies in and around Abuja should be careful very careful cos like afrodoc said, those criminals will not lodge in hotels cooling off while dust settles; instead they will go back to crime which is their love any day any time.

I have made my position know about Muslim-Muslim ticket , I guess for the avoidance of doubt I should restate it.

First and foremost I’m a south westerner from a family whose both parents are of the two religions ( Islam and Christianity ) . I have enough cousins and relatives that are of both faiths. In the south west Christians and Muslims coexist together without issues u see in places like North east ( that has Christian’s in large numbers ) , southern kaduna etc ; …….

However , truth must be told that Nigeria as a country is not ready for a same religion ticket just yet. No we are not .

A link posted up there by Raumdeuter showed the NSA claiming Boko Haram grew simply because of politics of exclusion played by PDP governors in the North east . If we will be truthful with ourselves , it’s that same politics of exclusion that was responsible for groups like IPOB going military and having a military wing ( ESN ) that has now been proscribed as a terror group. Some of their agitations are predicated on the believe that A buhari presidency with a pastor VP is fulanizing/islamizing the country ….. Now imagine what will happen with a Muslim president and a muslim Vice President .

I once interacted with a Christian guy we served together who is from Plateau state . He told me about series of religious/ ethnic clashes they’ve had and he even talked about eating the flesh of their adversaries ( it’s a sign of victory for them ) , I was shocked all that go on Nigeria just because of religious differences and ethnic division .

God knows the ascension of a same faith presidency will do this nation harm than good. I know to politicians and their analysts it’s all about winning elections and then using federal power to bend people to their knees, but the 4 years after election matters too. A president spending his years fighting insurgency is not going to be regarded as the man of the year.

As at last month the US senate was talking about Nigeria being a country with so much religious intolerance with cHristians getting killed cos of their faith and then this week a ruling party is bringing out a Muslim-muslim ticket . Kai ! No be so na

raumdeuter:
Sir Mo Farah has revealed in a BBC documentary that he was brought into the UK illegally under the name of another child.

The four-time Olympic champion said “the truth is I’m not who you think I am”, adding he needs to tell his real story “whatever the cost” in the documentary titled The Real Mo Farah.

The father-of-four, 39, said: “Most people know me as Mo Farah, but it’s not my name or it’s not the reality.

“The real story is I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin. Despite what I’ve said in the past, my parents never lived in the UK.

When I was four my dad was killed in the civil war, you know as a family we were torn apart.

“I was separated from my mother, and I was brought into the UK illegally under the name of another child called Mohamed Farah.”

------‐--------------------------------

Had it been that Mo Farah was a minimum wage factory worker and disclosed this, would he have been deported or would he even have the guts to disclose something like this? But now he has built up social capital he is a 4 time Olympian and a British hero. Now he can get away with it

Na who don make am dey do documentary, dey motivate people and share stories about his criminal past. Anybody wey try am when level never set for him side will live to blame himself

raumdeuter:
The problem of Boko Haram has reduced but have been replaced by a different type of problem which is Iswap and bandits

Buharis methods have created a bigger one that it more spread over the country and it shows that just bombing will not solve it without addressing poverty and unemployment.

The handling of BokoHaram with the amounts allegedly sunk into it without results shows govt complicity. You can't be budgeting billions yearly and soldiers are going out there without weapons

You didn’t answer the question I asked .

Is Jonathan the one behind Boko Haram or You agree ur statement about Jonathan being behind Boko Haram is totally untrue and should be recanted ?

raumdeuter:
Its so obvious Jonathan is behind this Boko Haram menace.

How can the whole Nigerian army be given 60 bullets each to face a terror organisation

Yet the same Nigerian army was equipped in war apparel with armoured tanks to just monitor elections in Ekiti and Osun

Jonathan needs to go. He is beyond useless

What is ur position on Boko haram now ? Do u still think it’s Jonathan that’s behind it ?

I noticed of recent u’ve been talking about how poverty , illiteracy and unemployment fuels insecurity …… Is that ur new position on Boko Haram ? Or u still maintain the previous views that Jonathan is the problem ?

Lush100:
Imagine southampton signs Joe Aribo for just 6m with add on of 4m .
That's 10m.
Aribo na player.
How we no they get this kinda deals

Aribo is not arsenal level . He’s not done anything better than our current midfielders , we should be looking at getting players above our current players in form and achievement ; not trying to bring in players that are just trying to prove themselves

Oasis007 you say

https://www.nairaland.com/7219919/armed-robbers-attack-7-flats

I don already talk am, people living in Abuja and neighboring villages/towns are about to witness an upsurge in crime going forward . Nigerian prisons are not in any way correctional , Nigerian prison turns petty thieves to hardened criminals when they get out.

Just like afrodoc said , the escaped prisoners will not lodge in hotels and abstain from crime ; rather they will go back to criminal ways and people in Abuja and it’s environs will beat the brunt .

I know nihilistjnr is a wise man , person wey enter South south with security convoy no go do mistake carry him family enter Abuja in the middle of a man hunt for escaped prisoners that’s not yielded much result .

Itsrm:
I actually think people graduating now are quite lucky. Organizations will be forced to employ with the the way people are resigning these days.

First bank for instance has lost a lot of their IT staff that they had to do a special salary review for them with the hope of keeping the ones still there and prevent mass resignation of the ones coming.

As of now, they are massively recruiting IT staff.

Most companies are expecting mass resignation in September when schools resume outside the country. Its actually a good time to be a job seeker fresh from NYSC.

Someone has to fill the gap and do the job

Most companies will not recruit fresh graduates to fill job openings left by Japa crew; they go for the underemployed with years of experience and pay them lower than those leaving the job for abroad.

The best bet of a fresh graduate is a graduate trainee programme which has age restrictions, class of degree restrictions, and who submitted or cv restriction. ( I know this because me sef Don use position help person submit CV wey work for am)

Amoto94:
Oga there are individuals who are bigger than the figureheads (Executives) you will be surprised as to what these people will do NNPC tried to that in the gas sector it was protest from the big masquerades that thwarted their effort., they employed the services of gas trucks to deliver and monitor gas supply but they were pushed back by those men and order from above sabotaged the initiative.

I already addressed this in my post. A government not paying lip service to making the petroleum sector work will not be put off by some so called top executives sabotaging it's efforts. Such government will jail these so called saboteur instead.

Removing subsidy at any time soon will only lead to greater crisis than the one witnessed after the end SARS protests turned bloody. The people are already close to breaking point.

I go out everyday and see people barely able to keep their mind due to high prices of commodities. Just this current fuel scarcity alone, u see people waiting in bus stops unable to afford ₦100 to ₦200 increment in transportation costs. They wait hours hoping for buses that will call the usual price will come around.( U just need to give them a lift and engage them for u to know what people are going through)

Imagine their are graduates who work for banks and other financial services firms as contract staff and they get paid 80k per month. People like this will pay transport fare daily, feed themselves daily, most likely have parents who sent them to school out of nothing and who now expect them to send them something at the end of the month, they have to save monthly towards their next rent payment, and other sundry expenses.....People like that are barely surviving.

How will such people that are at lesst still underemployed adjust to what will come after subsidy removal? Then the army of unemployed youths are there. I usually shake my head anytime I see people on my whatsapp status and other social media accounts celebrating passing out of NYSC and talk about Wishing themselves luck in the " Favor Market".....Favor market where some organizations are cutting down operating hours be use of diesel price, shey na that organization go come get budget to recruit fresh new graduates?

Removing subsidy might just lead to military coup cos the citizens will surely revolt and we will be close to anarchy.

The problem of subsidy has always been that the government has been unable to monitor and put checks & balances in place to ascertain who gets what. I posted a proposal of Prof. Ndubuisi Ekekwe the Nigerian-American scholar who was proposing a model he drew up to monitor the level of actual fuel we consume and to track it's delivery all across the country. Till date nobody in government has even given it a thought. I think every government just pay lip service to the fact that they wan to tame the subsidy demon but none has made any serious efforts concerning it.

Agadinaagwuofe:
Lagos is more of a cosmopolitan city and with the effervescence that PO followers are generating many people around Lagos will stand to defend their votes, given the tribal colouration many Igbos in Lagos with some areas where they are major residents will also stand up against NURTW to defend their votes but even at that Tinubu will win Lagos but not with 60%

For Ur safety I sincerely hope u are not willing to face NURTW boys while formenting troubles. Those guys are not reasonable after taking different dangerous mixtures and armed to the teeth.

raumdeuter:
You are speaking in STRUCTURES. Why I wont be too sure of the 60% is because of the number of non indigenes in Lagos.

But Omo Eko, Lagos boy is contesting for presidency and in the same Lagos on election day you want to vote someone else?

That is the same support I expect Obi will get in Anambra on election day, The same support Buhari got in katsina. The energy will be too much

When voting gets tough non Indigenes no dey come out to vote in Lagos. Look at what happened at Okota last time, when the hoodlums started wahala, people just stay indoors and the polling unit results were cancelled.

The fact that Tinubu has the NURTW guys laying ro wait as enforcers in areas where things aren't going their way, trust me Tinubu will get enough votes in Lagos. The structure will definitely work in his favour

izzou:
[color=royalblue]But where was that company since 1971?

Abi did you hear of it while you were here?

Maybe Obi is lying, but I don't think anybody saw or knew that company since 1971.

Which drink dem dey produce?[/color]

My old man get shares for this international breweries ; I've been seeing their annual reports Nd financial statement litter the house since I was young. They produce trophy beer and the likes.

larride:
I like that confidence sha.

The guy confidence funny. Tinubu that's had Lagos in his grips since 2007 when he left power, somebody thinks he won't get 60% in Lagos

Tinubu already has the votes of market women with his daughter's position as Iyaloja general. Most civil servants in Lagos are Apc members, MC Oluomo has transporters vote on lockdown for him and the rest will be done by ward chairmen who have enough ward members to deliver votes for their principal.

I think most of these guys don't understand how deep rooted APC is in Lagos.

Griffon:
These Obi supporters are cyber bullies o

People should stop taking Reno serious and give him less attention.

A Reno that spent days keeping wake in London stalking Buhari and posting videos of him terrorizing Buhari all thru the period he was sick is calling people cyber bullies. If everybody Reno has bullied online donate a cup of water to create a pool for him to swim in; I can tell u Reno will drown.

afrodoc2:
There is no evidence of that in her CV. Governance is not comedy.


Lagos PDP is just putting up token candidates because there is no chance of victory.

Is it not strange that for some reasons Sanwoolu is not bothered or having sleepless night over his re-election bid, to the extent he turned the country with his principal during the whole presidential primary period? This is a rookie governor who had to deal with the negative media publicity after a year of being elected elected; Someone known more for pointing than actually governing, a governor majorly known for patching roads here and there etc.

One would have thought PDP Lagos will be the ones pulling the crowd Peter obi is pulling on the social media space and the movement going offline to actually seize power from APC; But instead they field a fairly unknown governorship candidate and a comic act as deputy even without any political structure on ground to build on. Apc in Lagos has everything to win the election from having the media, millions of foot soldiers that are card carrying members of the party and even the financial war chest. Then PDP comes up with this nonsense pairing. Smh

PDPGuy:
Would Funke Akindele make a good deputy governor?

Personally I think PDP Lagos is just an arm of APC in Lagos paid to put up a charade making it seem like they have an opposition when In fact they don't.

I mean how does PDP go to sleep for over 3 years and just come around few months to election, parade lightweight candidates and then expect to win miraculously? Look at the nonsense they did with Jimi Agbaje for years, even Bode George recently claimed Jimi was a mole.Something most us had suspected for a long time cos how do contest against APC as a PDP member every 4 years and the APC government allows u to keep Ur contract of supplying drugs and other pharmaceutical products to Lagos state owned hospitals?

Now with this Jandor-Funke Akindele tag team, I doubt PDP is still ready to take seat of power in Lagos. I mean they brought a fairly unknown guy out as Governorship candidate and then back him up with a popular female entertainer who is embroiled in marital issues ( knowing how people in our society take some of these things concerning a woman with broken home). Does this not show unseriousness on their part?

Honestly I have stopped taking Lagos PDP serious.

Griffon:
This isn’t the first time soldiers will be going MIA prior to a terrorist attack under this man regime.

The links are out there for you to come up to date with. This govt don’t arrest or shoot terrorists cos it’s perceived that they’re kinsmen to the president, so why kill them. These terrorists dey get classified information even before the security operatives wey dey the country. Who’s fooling who?

But then, when you question the competence of the man who went through oath to protect the lives of Nigerians, they say it’s either religious or ethnic sentiment.

I don tire for the country I swear to God, still tire for the people living inside the country.

The annoying thing is instead of addressing the obvious issues, the government and their agents spend so much on PR and trying to deflect from the main issues. You will see Femi adeshina attacking the personality of anybody that criticise the government and if Ur criticism are so damning u get an invite from DSS.

The navy commodore who talked about the state of insecurity and indicted the government in his interview on Channels TV was invited by DSS, same treatment was meted out to the late Obadiah Malafia. How the supporters of government trivializes these things amazes me

Oasis007:


Na free nau.

One of my friends used to say " Anything easy in life is a set-up ". If u see something so easy be rest assured someone has set it up ro be so for reasons known to the person. Just like ponzi schemes where they will ask u to put money and earn 50% interest + capital ; it looks so easy but someone has set it up to look so.....Till they eventually pull the plug and it ends in tears

Ibime:
How would you have prison where ISWAP people are being kept and not guard it heavily with soldiers. These people are sleeping ontop bicycle.

ISWAP prisoners are supposed to be kept in Lagos or preferrably in Port Harcourt sef where ISWAP won't have easy entrance and getaway

Soldiers are guarding the place according to Vanguard newspaper, but they are saying that their sources informed them the soldiers guarding the facility were replaced 24 hours before the attack and that the new soldiers had not yet settled before the attack.

There's a whole lot of things not right with this present government sha. Vice President helicopter Don nearly crash, President convoy has been attacked by terrorists and Nigerian Military training school has been sacked.....

Everything is under alarm and there's no cause for control
