Small Immature boy...a man should keep quiet in the face of such provocation.

Stolen wealth ....easy come easy go!

jammani:
Get someone to explain to you what DESTINY is

I noticed a trnd these days where pedestrians take all forms of vehicles for granted ...you see people strolling carelessly on the wrong side of the road , when you horn , they look at you with disdain as if to say "im I supposed to leave the road for you".

These days when you drive , you have to be careful with Pedestrians, bikes, kekes, and bus drivers.

Would you call an accident resulting from an act of carelessness DESTINY?. I feel its a problem with the Psyche of our people. When I was growing up, I was taught how to avoid traffic and walk on the right side of the road.

AreaFada2:
.

Then you didn't witness NSO under GMB or IBB let alone OBJ who first created NSO. You won't also know the antics of Rafindadi & Gusau back then. Too many Facebook generation making comments here.

Sir , I was a witness to the former NSO and the early days SSS under Babanginda. I never saw the NSO issuing press statements , accusing opposition , flauting their capabilities on the streets or OPENLY aligning with ruling parties. We all know they had a hand in some high profile assassinations but did they not do their thing covertly? Even under Abacha when this aggressiveness of govt started, the SSS did not jump into the fray. SSS under Obasanjo was politicised but not as brazen and careless as under Jona.

Sir, it is normal for the SSS to align with the president as they work directly with the president . The SSS is meant to protect the president and key officials and also work with the president to preserve internal security.....Hence they will always be partial to the ideals of Mr President. However, they should know when to draw the line as a professional organisation. It is not supposed to be a private army for My President.

Finally, whether we like it or not, we have failed the in your words FACE BOOK GENERATION and it is not a bad thing for them to be a face book generation. I hope they will do better than our own generation. Ask, have we given them the chance and opportunities we had?

Rawani:
Our secret police has never been as politicised as it was under the last administration, with the brazen show of partisanship which led to their invasion and raid of an office belonging to the opposition party at the time. Ogar also made several unsavory comments about the APC and it's leaders.

What's happening in the DSS is the restoration of order, it's not about the regularity of the promotion process but if the promotions were merited and the basis upon which they were given.

I agree with you totally....its very difficult to be Political and Professional!

In the hey days of NSO (now DSS) they were completely invincible and they had intelligence real time. They were quietly embedded EVERYWHERE and they were effective. They would have provided the intelligence on the Boko haram threat before it started and would have people within the sect.......fast forward to 2011 - 2015

1. They intimidate Opposition or perceived opposition openly .....they became the armed youth wing of PDP carrying out immoral and borderline illegal acts under the protection of national security

2. They became very visible wearing the shirt and logos shamelessly at a time when even the SARs (state antirobbery squads) of the police went to working covertly. i never imagined in my lifetime that the revered DSS will be conducting press conferences to parade criminals...they should hand them over to the relevant prosecuting agencies.

3. they aligned with the President without focus and ultimately lost their focus on preserving internal security. This is what you get when you appoint people based on sentiments. The Director General and the management of the DSS destroyed the REPUTATION of a fine and professional organisation that had the respect of the local and international community. There are fine officers in the service and dedicated and honest law enforcers. the misdemeanor of the DSS management has splashed mud all over these fine officers.

I hope the erring Management staff get punished severely for their misdemeanors and not only loss of office.

Why are people blindly blaming the police? I think we love sensationalism so much and we all pretend to be saints .

If you know the antecedents of the Danfo drivers you will rejoice that they have finally met their match

They have contempt for other road users , they deliberately bash peoples vehicles and they think they are invincible. Even for pedestrians they have no regard. Left to me they should be off the streets. They are what you can call necessary evil


Just yesterday morning I saw an accident where the danfo hit the back side of a car at an intersection. Obviously the danfo man did it deliberately; they are wicked souls. They actually hate private vehicle owners . When they hit a car , they gather and use begging to harass you knowing fully well that you may not have the time and patience to follow them to the repairers.

They are so unruly that they instinctively break order and road rules and they are first to escape, they defy police, lastma and all traffic regulatory agencies , who have given up on them, only the military forces can contain them.

Its good to know that they can be sliced and diced in their own sauce..........while its not the best way to deal with them at least its good thy are getting some payback. Danfo drivers do not know the language of civility and law and order.......why is everyone then blaming the police?

Good for the danfo man! I doubt if anyone who has a good car in Lagos will not smile at this

i believe the sanitary conditions of your compound or the next needs improvement.......rid the area of hiding places for snakes and other reptiles....however indeed you are very brave!

At least they now have an idea that they are not invincible!

kromoto:
In a sane society, a policeman is respected. Why did he not stop in the first place?

Nobody seems to be asking this simple question but rather we are quick to abuse the police.

very reasonable post.....kudos bro

Sensationalism is killing us as a people.......Nigerians behave like goats and we want to be treated like lambs.

Why did he not stop for the police officer, if he had killed the officer he would definitely not have stopped. He looks like one of those cab drivers who have no regards for traffic laws and other road users yet quick to beg after scratching ones vehicle.

I think Nigerians require force to make them comply and respect constituted authority. Its a reflection of our national life.

there is a gun called PUMP ACTION.....tell your dad to protect his family with it!

lestat:
From a long time GSD owner take it from me
1. Never ever beat your German sherpherd dog GSD, they never forget and when they get older u won't like them.

2. Never cage them all day, if you know u cant have the time or space to work him then better give him up for adoption now or you won't like the adult he will grow into.. GSD there extremely active dogs which makes them great security dogs.

3. He doesn't think he is the pack leader or he wouldn't listen to you even when u are in doors.

4. Never five your dog to quack trainers only use certified trainers, I am seeing alot of quacks giving you their numbers here asking you to call...you are better off using YouTube than giving your GSD to a quack who will only.beat him or maltreatment him.

5. GSD like all dogs need, live, patience and understanding..

You wouldn't expect a six month old human baby to know right from wrong so soon would you?

6. Treat him right and he will grow to be a very loving, and loyal friend for the rest of his life with you

Sir, Most of what you have said is just spot on, it shows you know a lot about dogs... but I disagree with two things

!. Flogging the dog. I believe the dogs are like children and you spare the rod and spoil the child . My GSD is 3 years now and I started flogging them from 3-4 months. i have different canes for different occasions. They love me and they obey me. They are 100% obedient when I talk to them . There was a time I called the name midway into a chase. she froze and ran into her cage! I think they should be beaten but not excessively.

A six month old dog is old enough to know right from wrong.

A classical example of a person too dumb to be alive

wine4dguy:
during my time of IT my school does the run around and when the posting letters are out the student already knows where he/she is going...

Very Old Man.....LOL ...that was Centuries ago

Poster please can you change the topic to Burglars not robbers.

Clearly inside work!

This is a very sensitive issue.

I don't blame Sterling bank for scrapping the IT programme I only wonder why they have not paid up for the periods worked. Probably there is more to the story we do not know.

Many upcoming , young ones I interact with seem to see no boundaries to the limit of hustling. I will ask a question from the following statements;

1. Your brother houses you and feeds you while you are still a student
2. Your brother works so hard and pays your fees in school and gives you pocket money
3. Your brother is building a house from his savings and sweat but has not time to supervise the work
4. You are on holidays and your brother asks you to supervise his house project and infact gives you tons of cash to buy materials

Now the question...will you make money from supervising his work?


The answer is YES for most younger ones and in my opinion this is the height of decadence that these ones take to their places of IT.

I have worked in a multinational that banned IT students because year on year they get defrauded. Hence I do not blame Sterling bank at all.

What the youth need to do is for the ones with clear heads to continue to try and impact those with warped minds and hopefully make them see the damage their single acts are causing the larger number of youth.

Here on Nairaland a guy wanted to buy cheap data being sold illegally undermining the GSM service providers , he got scammed and had the boldness to come out and mention. Such is the level of decadence.

Finally poster, a simple letter to the head of HR will make they pay your money. If you need help to do this, PM me, I will take it up but you need to give me full and accurate facts and be honest bout everything...come out clean.

SPAGGYYY:
[size=20pt]on a good day u were not supposed to be paid by the organisation that employed you they can only appreciate you be giving you some amounts, although some organisation like GTB pays.
You ought to be paid by the government thru ITF Industrial Training Fund
But in a country where d Students are taking for granted, the money allocated for the students thru ITF has been manipulated thru corruption [/size]

Correct Bro, but can you blame the ITF when student unions are busy chasing politicians and endorsing candidates for elections , offering the student bodies as thugs and miscreants.......in my almost 50 years , I have never seen Student unions so without focus and ineffective all my life!

Its not a Sterling Problem but a societal clamity

mu2sa2:
Spewing trash again. The fact remains that Kwara state govt has slashed lg pension by 50% and civil servants hav not even been paid the 50%!

Is that all you can mutter? ....no match ......I move on...too low IQ and too much of an intellectual drone to hold discuss...

mu2sa2:
You're not in the state that's why u r spewing thrash. The local govt staff and pensioners who hav been short-changed for 2 months and state civil servants who hav not been paid even the 50% for May know better

Spewing thrash is a phrase I see every day on Nairaland from many who don't even understand the meaning. Just hear a word it sounds nice and throw it around without any originality. The same Low intellectual capacity makes you hear word in a beer palour and take it as truth without asking questions or exercising the God given grey matter you should have but lack. If you can slightly upgrade your thought process you will realise its better for a man who can see to stay afar than a blind man to stay close. I dont have to be In Kwara to know what is going on there ...all I need is to raise the game and ask questions in the right places.

Does your half or quarter wit tell you that there is a reason for the non payment other than using the money to pursue Saraki's Senate presidency?

Are you aware Kwara state is low on IGR?
Are you aware FGN share revenues are dwindling?
Are you aware KWSG is servicing loans?

why allow your beer parlour talk to spill into the streets? It does not make sense .....to those who have sense. Only saw dust brain like you will believe that there has been a pay cut for such flimsy and unintelligent reasons

Lushcream:
Oga who is the sitting Governor , Bukola Saraki is the Governor of Kwara state .... Fatai is merely a Manager........ This ain't beer parlour , it is happening.

Thank you , There MUST be an official reason for the reduction is salaries ? is it unavailability of cash or a pay cut?

We are all quite aware the Federal government revenues are dwindling and some states have not paid salaries for months but that does not amount to pay cut.

My point is that how can people come up with the story line that the pay has been slashed to fund Saraki's senate presidency bid....its such a lazy shameful rumour. When I first saw the post, I called a relation who is a director in one of the ministries, he confirmed that they were making partial payments owing to the dwindling FG revenue sharing and low IGR. That is a more intelligent position.

I find it distasteful when people sit in the corner of their rooms and cook up stories. How can a government slash salaries by 50% to pursue senate presidency! of a past governor......how stupid can a sitting governor be to do that?

Poster, where is the source? when did beer parlour discussion become a news item?

I am tired of the failings of Nigerian elites who are supposed to be educated and have sound minds

Can you imagine this rogue has not paid salaries for 17 months!

He should sell the furniture and pay his staff, using people's sweat and blood to shine!






Workers, Workers on Wednesday shut down the Benin studio of the African Independent Television (AIT) and Raypower FM Radio over in protest of over 17 months unpaid salaries.

The workers were blocked the main entrance to the station located along the Benin/Lagos bypass halting all operations of the broadcast media.

The management, however, invited anti-riot policemen to the station to forestall any break down of law and order.

The protesting workers numbering about 50 were said to have been owed salaries for between 12 and 17 months.

One of the workers told newsmen that newly employed staff of AIT were owed 12 months, old staff between 13 months and staff of the Raypower FM, 17 months.

He lamented that the stations generated millions of Naira on a daily basis, yet salaries were not paid by the management.

“It is sheer wickedness and man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. We have families to care for and children to pay their school fees.

“Many of our children have stopped going to school. But their own attend schools abroad,” he lamented.

The Chairman of the organisation, Raymond Dokpesi (Jnr), was said to have appealed to the protesters assuring that the management would within one week pay part of the salary arrears.

He was said to have threatened to pay off any staff that decides to resign from the establishment.

The dude was simply suicidal.....got knocked down under the safe foot bridge he choose not to use.......he sure does not deserve our sympathies......
Other foolhardy folks like him......to follow soon.....
Make us of the pedestrian bridge if one is in sight...... Even Usain Bolt.......cannot be as fast as you'll imagine in front of a fast moving keke napep

Spot on! especially when you imagine the guy went to the four walls of a higher institution. I find it annoying when the pedestrians make rude gestures and insult you when they forcefully attempt to cross the roads under the Pedestrian bridges.

Last week as I drove by Onipanu at 9am I saw a man his wife and 2 children trying to cross right under the pedestrian bridge. I shouted that he should go and use the bridge but he said gbenu soun olosi .....shut up wretched man. Why should i say rip if he gets crushed.


Nigerians need total reorientation and many of us will only behave when we are treated like goats!

The guy committed suicide with all the pedestrian bridges on that route...I guess he chose to die! Some people are too half witted to be alive. I guess he is one of them.

A grim reminder to all his fellow half witted comrades to USE THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES!

The BRT bus drivers are a menance they have no regard for human lives also. The are crazy about their right of way and their size.

The excuse is that robbers operate on the bridge which is a pure fallacy,there are guards and gen powered lights on the bridge and if many of the half wits use the pedestrian bridges the robbers will leave.

May God be with the family he has put in pain!

As much as I love Sahara Reporters...they did not act professionally and handle the President of Zimbabwe well. They behaved like a bunch of untrained school students on this ocassion!

They simply displayed gangster ism not journalism.

Thank God Fresh air at last!

A muslim, rest in peace? ??.... not possible.

Sir , please explain?

ZeezaRapture:
I was told HE NEVER SMILE NOR LAUGHS.
He said he only smile/laugh on his birthday.
He delivers his speech with seriousness and he is VERY STRICT!!!
A very focused leader and a no-nonsense personality.

Unlike Bros Jona that smiles all the time and delivers little or no concrete speech.


-ZeezaRapture

Correct, the only time I saw him smile through out the regime was when he collected the Golden cup from the eaglets who won the kodak under 16 cup......after that ...too serious to smile.

He was using a 505 like all nigeria elites and lived in gra ilorin among the elites....nothing spectacular about his house other than stern looking soldiers

Tunde Idiagbon,

A true soldier,

A man

A leader

An epitome of order and Integrity

I grew up with your children back then in Ilorin and they were an epitome of humility and reflected your values as a man of discipline

May the Almighty continue to grant you rest

Blakjewelry:
The call were made by those who will and never get to her stage if given 10,000 years more to live

African mentality , thinking from back to further back!....what does that have to do with the matter of justifying HER AWARD?

Another example of why africa remains backward!

PS: Mind your tenses!

oweman:
can the police legally bail out someone on such capital offence nairalanders need to begin to reason liike matured minds .
TOO MANY KIDS ON NAIRALAND NOWADAYS.

Sir, it happens in Nigeria! Obviously you dont live in Nigeria and you are cut off from the realities of everyday living here
....im happy for you. But i can tell you it happens

I had to prevent guys from doing jungle justice on them. Here is the picture when police and vigilante were taken them away

I respect you for that sir....it would have been most difficult for me not to allow them to face jungle justice...........I have been a victim of violent crime before and I think these people do not deserve to live. They have no other way other than violence, he who lives by the gun should die by the gun

Sunnybobo3:
Were you not one if those that supported the occupy Ojota protests?

Sir, Govt claimed they needed to free up funds from the subsidy removal to utilise in other areas....abi?

The truth: If they cannot efficiently manage subsidies and helplessly allow the so called CABAL ( who eat and drink with them) to steal subsidy monies then automatically the money freed up will also be hijacked by another set of cabal!

I remember vividly , all the promises made when the price was raised to 87 / litres how many of those promises were fulfilled?

See below ;

The problem is not the subsidy or the removal but a weak, corrupt and very incompetent government!

charlzchudi:
I have just discovered that we youth mostly on nairaland and other social networks are frustrated from insensitive administrations, families, communities, churches and mosques . We use slight opportunity to vent our frustrations. Why on earth must we abuse ourselves. Politicians use and feast these advantages and rape us more cos we are under the influence of opium called frustrations and tribalism.

The debt is incurred by past and present federal and state governments. Some people who are shouting to her haven't shouted to or asked our different state governments that borrowed which is part of debt. Then again Danjuma by this news was pointed to cos he was part of previous administration that borrowed largest chunk. Smart Ngo!

By extension, we need to ask ourselves is borrowing bad thing. Do we know how much America is owing?

The fact is that next or incoming administration will borrow too. We were told that they or we need N4.1 trillion to service debt owing by states and federal government. Which of course, they or we can not use our entire budget servicing debt. It doesn't make sense. So we go borrowing and the circle continues.

Instead of all these tribal abuses which our politicians feast on, let suggest solutions to her and the incoming administrations.

Then my solutions, opening up other sectors of income- Agriculture, explorations of other natural resources, education of minds of Nigerians.
Though much have been done in ICT, youths need to be aware of potential it has in 21century.

I share your thoughts 100% and I marvell when people leave the Politicians and bash tribes!

However in addition to what you have said. We need to kill corruption and treat is as a cancer!

A man who has been in government all his life who;

1 Has no family wealth inheritance
2 Has not done any business and his spouse is not known to have done or owned any business


Is able to live the life of affluence and afford all the luxuries of life......and no one asks him of the source of the wealth.

However if the government institutions start asking questions about sources of wealth, this will reduce corruption to the barest minimum.

With corruption the economy cannot grow. The cleaning has to start from the institutions saddled with the responsibility to clean up corruption
