Hull City: the 'throwing' team back then when the original Delap was still balling

Judolisco:
Seriously dis is rubbish abeg.... At least give to one arsenal player.... Manchester United that couldn't manage 5 league wins in a roll? Played rubbish football untill Carrick came to save them... Player of the season my foot

Katell:
He actually pushed his luck too far. You were picked from the opposition party as a minister, you performed woefully, resigned to contest for governor when you didn't get a clear directive from the top that you are the chosen one. As if that was not enough, you arrived Ibadan ad started disparaging the Olubadan who is highly respected in Ibadan and by the president.

He is nepo kid. Except he is clearly back up from the top, there is no way he can navigate through Ibadan murky water politics to become a governor. Those pushing him or giving him assurances of winning are only doing to collect money and favour from him. He is too small for ibadan politics. Besides, he lack leadership charisma.

He should be drinking water ontop he had been able to garner as a minister because I don't see him being reappointed.

MyExpression:
Wike has ruthlessly dealt with Fubara's disloyalty.

This new law might stabilize our politics, but it will lead to party godfatherism.

—what will a sitting governor who lost return ticket do with the remaining time in office- with full executive authority?

You've made him ticketless and by the new electoral law, transfer window is closed.
Fubara will loot River state silly - as his last act of power, to secure his personal future.

Saladdin:
His political career is completely finished. Na true SIMP this man be. This is what indecision cost him. He had to two options: fight to the finish or quietly do your "yes sir, yes sir" and complete your eight years. Political fights are all or nothing, you don't do half-measure.

Duncan Mighty's music career too is gone. He should forget any singing gig from the state government again. Doing useless praise singing for a weak man. You see how Wike pampers his praise singers, they most likely even followed him to Abuja singing Nye demba, Nye demba for him.

If you wanted to fight your godfather (which was a bad decision anyway), you ought to have gone for the jugular, but you went halfway and backtracked. A very foolish move!

That was weakness and Wike smelt it. Dem no dey us clear eyes fight for village square. Wike is a very formidable and powerful politician & godfather with a well-oiled machinery that can easily bring down this governor. He knows where and how to pull the strings. When Fubara knows he can't fight, he ought to have piped low, because those elders who crafted the quote that when you dine with the devil, you use a long spoon. They came to that painful realization after lots of hard knocks.

On the other hand, you Fubara had one of the largest and deepest war chest in Nigeria. For God's sake, only Lagos, Delta and maybe Kano comes close to what this man has when it comes to state fund. This singular reason plus Wike's ruthlessness gained the president's respect. Tinubu himself respects a ruthless person who is not afraid of showing it at any time.

You could have used that to compensate for your weaknesses and let money FLOW to the right places, surgically dismantle the machinery as swiftly as possible. And had he fought bravely, he clearly had the people's support and wherever he goes most Riverians will follow.

Create a state security apparatus, let the commanders be loyal to you and when election comes, release one long press statement on how those state-security officials need to be present in every polling unit. Then you buy permissible arms, tasers and handcuffs for them. FUND them well, cover every inch of the state that day, switch off your phone while the security outfit do their job. Then give a prior public announcement and firm instruction that whoever engages in malpractice would be arrested, locked up and tried. Then you clearly demonstrate it with the LG election. LOCK THEM UP and follow it up with a speedy court trial. The rest will be very scared to engage in any malpractice.

Follow this up by lobbying to get officials from two or three major countries to specifically come to Rivers to monitor the election! While at this, ensure you pay for sufficient media time in international broadcasting stations let it be aired, and make sure all your ex-Oga's shady files are with you, and have CC'ed the right quarters with copies of it.

While you do this, move to another party, fund it, sponsor candidates and make a public example of few people who fall out of line, then you would see as others will fall in line.

Then even if Wike won, with a big IF, it would have be a pyrrhic victory for him. But as it is now, the Emperor of Rivers has won and he will so deal with you on all fronts. Be grateful if you don't do jail time!

BluntCrazeMan:
This happened to me in Awka, Anambra State.
(Those officers didn't know that they met with a strong-headed but quiet somebody)

For those persons who know Awka very well, this thing happened at that Military Checkpoint which is very close to the ICC center, along the old road.

On this particular day in question, the FRSC officers were also operating near this Military Checkpoint in question. They usually do that on some days.

They stopped me for no obvious reasons, and I parked one side, so that I wouldn't be seen as disobeying the officers of an instituted authority while they are on their legal duty.
They demanded for my papers which I gave to them, and they checked everything and gave the papers back to me.

They demanded that I opened my car boot (my car trunk). After they finished all their searchings and checkings (they even checked the spare tyres and jack and triangles), they later said that my Fire Extinguisher 🧯 has expired, that its pointer is not pointing within the green range on its indicator.

I said “Ok,, so what next”?

They started booking me (for the offence they said I committed).
I stood there quietly and silently, and waited for them to finish.

(if the officer had taken me to the back of the car early enough, and wanted to settle my matter quickly, I might have considered settling myself with them there-and-then in order to be on my way as quickly as possible,, but since they have decided to waste my time on protocols, then I decided that we must do the protocols to the end, and they won't get any shii-shii from me -- whatever money I have to pay, it must be to the headquarters, and not to them again.)

After they finished wasting all my time while they booked me, they came and told me that I should pay ₦12,000.

I said “Okay”.
I didn't even argue.
He then said that I should pay to them so that they can help me and pay it for me.

That was when I started my own wahalla..

I said to them that I won't give them shii-shii..
I will pay the ₦12,000.. No Problems.
But I must pay it directly into the FRSC Headquarters’ Bank Account.. AND NO TO THEM.!!
The officer directed me to their oga.

I was laughing at all of them inside my heart.

Their oga said I should leave my vehicle there with them and go to any bank which is close-by, and that the bank will generate Remita code for me, before I can pay.
He told me that it is usually long process, and that is the reason why they usually opt to do it for the people, so that they can lump all the money together at the end of the day and generate one Remita Code..

I now laughed-out..
I couldn't hold the laugh any longer.
He asked me why I was laughing,, I just showed him my phone.
I had already logged-in to the Remita App on my phone while he was still talking,, and I had even found the FRSC on the Remita App..

I told them that I will make the payment directly to the REMITA, and generate the receipt right in front of them, and go and find a printer anywhere, and print it out and give to them, and that the whole thing wouldn't even waste 15-Minutes.!!

The officer told me that it seems that I am a person of trouble.!!
I told him “No oooo!!”

I then told him that before I make the payment, that I need to read the content of the document which they used to book me..
He gave it to me, and I finished reading it.
I saw the offence they said that I committed, but I didn't see where they wrote any amount that corresponded to the offence.
They didn't even write “₦12,000” on top of that document..

I asked him how he knew that my offence is equal to ₦12,000? I told him to write it on top of that booking document.. The rule I broke and the corresponding penalty to it,, then, a summation at the bottom which shows how much I should pay.

That was how I started teaching the officer how to book people properly for offences.
He was visibly not comfortable that I had all the time in the world to waste with him.

I told him that:
“it is either he gave me my own duplicate-copy of the booking document, or else I take a photograph of the booking, I would print out and keep inside my archive of payment-receipts -- which helps me whenever I am doing my financial audits”

He shouted “haaaaa.!! That one will be difficult ooo”
I asked them whether it is also difficult for them to give me my own duplicate copy?? And they said “YES”,, that they don't usually give it out..

I was visibly enraged..
I asked them: “How can I be paying for something I don't even know how it came about, and yet, there is no evidence for me to keep -- which confirmed that I paid for such a thing??”

I now demanded for them to also show me the the book or booklet that contains the schedule or the rundown of all the possible offences that someone can possibly commit and all their respective penalties -- so that I can snap photos of them too, because I need to know all these offences and study them very well, so that I won't commit another offence again another day.

The Oga said to me,, Oga, please bring ₦3,000 and go your way abbegg..
I told him that I don't even have ₦500 cash on me.. But I can do the ₦12,000 to Remita, because it is wireless.
They told me to go and do POS and give them the ₦3000 cash, but I refused.
I had to tell them that they had wasted my time so much to an extent that everything must have to be fully done accordingly in accordance to the strict protocols, and therefore, let us do the whole protocols to the end.

I then told them that I also even needed to snap the photos of the document which they used to charge me,, and to also snap photos of their main book which contained the list of all possible traffic offences..

The next thing he said was: “Oga, come and be going abbegg.!!”

I was like,, “After you finished wasting all my time.?? What about the booking nko?”

They said that they will tear it., that it is no more necessary again.

I still pestered them further, that the reason they wanted me to go just like-that is because they wouldn't want me to know all the other hidden traffic offences, so that they will catch me another day.. I told them that they should get the document which contained all the traffic offences so I can have a look at it; but they told me that they didn't come to the field with it, that the document is at their office, that I can drive to their office and demand for it.

That was when I got back inside my vehicle, started my vehicle, and dropped one parting word for them:
“This nonsense you people did to me is the exact reason why nobody likes to stop whenever they see you guys on the road.. This thing you are always do to people is the exact reason why a lot of people end-up seeing you guys as grossly unprofessional in your dealings with the people,, and it is too baadd..”

AND I DROVE OFF,, AND LEFT THEM..!!

What pained me most (after I left there) was that I didn't even take time and look around chests and shoulders of those officers to see whether I can get their names and their service numbers..

It would have made it very easy for me to report them to their headquarters, without having to waste too much time in explaining their identities..


Assuming that I ended up paying that ₦12,000 on Remita, I would have vehemently insisted on taking the photographs of both the original booking and the duplicate copy which is supposed to be my own,, and I will find @FRSCNigeria on Twitter and on all social media, and even their Official Email Address, and I will continue to send them messages -- until someone responds to me.

That day was almost totally wasted for me.
I spent like two hours there,, arguing back-and-forth with them..
The experience was so bad.!!

It even turns out that many Nigerians are suffering exactly the same thing in the hands of FRSC Officials... And some of them have come up here on Nairaland to tell their own stories too..
See an example inside the thread below..

MY DEAR FELLOW NIGERIANS,, AS YOU ARE READING THIS EXPERIENCE OF MINE, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE REMITA APP RIGHT NOW, AND ACTIVATE IT IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN NEXT THE FRSC OFFICERS HOLD YOU DOWN ON THE ROAD FOR ANY TRAFFIC OFFENCE -- (EVEN BEFORE THEY START BOOKING YOU) -- JUST TELL THEM IMMEDIATELY THAT YOU HAVE REMITA ON YOUR PHONE, AND THAT IT IS THROUGH REMITA THAT YOU MUST PAY ANY OF THE PENALTY THEY WOULD BOOK YOU FOR; AND THAT YOU WILL GO AND PRINT THE RECEIPTS OF THE REMITA-PAYMENT FOR THEM TO USE AND CONFIRM WITH THE ABUJA HEADQUARTERS. AND THEN, ALSO INSIST THAT THEY MUST BREAK DOWN ALL THE FEES OF THE PENALTIES FOR YOU, AND GIVE YOU A COPY OF THE BREAKDOWN..

WITH THAT, THEY WILL HANDLE YOUR CASE IN THE MOST ORGANIZED AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER..

Think9ja:
I don't understand this country at all.

How can you blame a lawmaker for a security issue? Tinubu controls the Police, DSS, Nigerian Army, National Intelligence Agency, Civil Defence, Customs, Immigration and every other security architecture in Nigeria, but it is Ndume that should be ashamed that 120k southern Borno people are in IDP camps? What level of ignorance is this?

He went further to say he should mention projects he has done for his people. For goodness sake what kind of project is he talking about?

The other day the clowns on Arise TV are saying Senator Imasuen didn't do the road to his house. Only Abati reminded them that that is not the job of a lawmaker.

Senator Akpoti started a medical outreach programme for her constituents and people on nairaland are saying she's the best senator.

Asin, which kind school we de go for this country sef? So many so called graduates from the so called top universities don't even know what a lawmaker should do and shouldn't do. And when those lawmakers pad budget, you turn around to call them all sorts of names.

Where do you expect them to get money for all these projects?

A senator's job is to make laws and perform oversight functions. Anything else is out of magnanimity.

I swear a lot of Nigerians are not properly educated

MadamVanessa:




Bwala can never stand election and won , he should be humble when people like Ndume speaks. Bwala simply lives on political appointment. He's a neophyte politically where the likes of Ndume is.

Pick me gonna pick me.

They’ll never hold the men in their lives accountable. It’s always the other woman’s fault.

If everyone knows your husband to be randy and you’ve chosen to stay in the marriage, stay quietly pls. After all the defending him, he still won’t hesitate to embarrass you the earliest chance he gets.
The way Natasha's husband keep quiet bah?

If I choose to stay with this type of husband, you won’t even hear my voice regarding his escapades. I’ll just sit quietly in the corner and take whatever benefits I’m getting from the marriage.

Saying how much PMS will sell per liter has become rocket science

Stewpid party called APC

The current state of Nigeria and the gradual destruction of the country was planned and executed at Ojota in 2012. We are where we are because of those useless people who came out to protest back then, but are suddenly dumb because their brother is on rampage destroying Nigeria

Kindly tag me. My Whatsapp no is 08034587411

If you dey new to Crypto I would suggest u start with 50k e.g if u are using bybit go to deriaviatives set your chart to heiken chart to see the trend and filter out noise u should also set your timeframe on 3 min,5min for quicker trades or maybe 30min if u don't want to scalp frequently
Set your take profit and stop loss both at ROI 20% and start from position size 1 e.g 0.76usdt if u are trading with 100x leverage for btc/USDT pair that's your position size 1

I would create a thread shortly on position sizing in details with regards to the calculation and I will tag u guys,I for chat u for Whatsapp bit I don't know if some idiots that always change monikers are trynna get at me those fellows be like people under spell that's why I prefer to be annonymous

I would create a thread on this my strategy shortly
