While I think the use of a gun to settle a traffic offence is excessive use of force; on the other hand danfo drivers are worse than animals.

I will prefer to have the full and factual story before I comment. With the position of the cars , there was obviously a chase and blocking of the bus.

If you are a car owner in lagos or have been a victim of danfo drivers it will impact on your how you comment.

Abudu2000:
..

Were you part of the arrangement and why do you judge all by your standards.

...even in death , you have no regard or sympathy or feeling for the pain and loss of the families.....and you will claim to be fasting today or claim to be in church or call on any God you want to .......you have no milk of humanity in you and you cannot hide it.

This is the problem of our country, NO Kindness...everyone is for him or herself. Even if she were a professional prostitute, did she deserve to be killed?

It hurts that a rag tag group of bandits have wasted our soldiers...this was almost impossible in the past. We need to retrace our steps . If we cannot move forward...let's not go back. Nigerian Army used to be revered..and feared.......a whole captain !
May theirs souls find rest. They have been failed by this nation

Correct your title ..its RCC the construction company handling Lagos ibadan .......not RCCG Redeemed church

Asquare84:
Where were you when NIMC registration have been going on for the past ten years

Your statement is insensitive , callous, wicked and selfish!

This is why government will forever take advantage of us.. has the process ever ever been easy and seamless?

Even if people have been negligent over the 5 years it has been going on , the punishment is for them to contract covid in the madness of today.

Be considerate and thing of general good above self.

Number 1 Communication Ministry
2 NIMC
3 Aso rock
4 min of defence

...others

Useless people...what happened to all the local remedies they claimed they were verifying....because of what they will steal and the colonial mentality they are waiting for the west to dump vaccines on us.

We are better off under the British rule ...

It is for the police to investigate and it's a no brainer.

I am almost certain that the guy will have cctv in his house and also I have seen gaps in both the statement of the commissioner and the girl.

The whole truth needs to be brought out.

Its "Photoshop" the general did not issue the above statement and its photoshop nobody was killed...and its photoshop there is no Boko haram

dokie:
They are anti-Christ. Simple.

Trump, while not a model Christian, is willing to stick out his neck to protect Christian rights. They don't like that.

Anyone who has followed dems in recent times, knows they want to build a godless society. A society where anything about God (most especially, the Christian God) is completely eroded.

One message for Christians though is that regardless of the outcome of this elections, Christianity is going back to the catacombs in the near future. Serious persecution.

Can a man stop AntiChrist?

IamWonderful:
As if they weren't part of the Jonathan regime that looted the treasury dry

I love intellectual Nigerians with a sound mind, who read and know history ....I give you full salute sir/ma

To cover 1 lie...you need 10s or 100s of other lies.

Army , so it's no longer "photoshop"
Sanwo so it's no longer "forces beyond you"

Please we are still waiting to see the report from Inspector Fash before we can comment.

The blood you spilled that night has started causing confusion in your ranks.

ThatFairGuy:
Despite the fact that her death is painful, they should be set free.
IT ISN'T INTENTIONAL.
They should be fined though it can't still have any effect on the dead

Thank you very much, from what we have all read , it does not appear to be a premeditated murder. The accident could happen to any youngstar though very sad a life is involved. How many of the people saying they should be jailed have not done worse things in youthful exuberance? These boys have been dragged and have been in incarceration for months and will have to deal with the emotional trauma of killing their friend.

We are a bunch of hypocrites and we talk but never take action, selfish and self centred!

As a people we deserve the kind of government we get.......when government tries to work we criticize, when they do nothing we criticize, when they do bad things , we criticize...many dont understand jack about the issues but they just want to comment

Most of the car pushers are thieves.....most!......they steal most of the metal gutter covers and man holes, they dump refuse in the drains and water ways, they are banned in where most reason people stay.

Many of them rob in traffic and pick pockets , if your house is near their areas of congregation you will know

Pls lasg continue the good work.

It will be good to hear the two sides of the story.

I believe revenue officials are not empowered to drive cars away....that is stealing

These task force people are the scum of the earth. He might have gotten what he deserves. Many of them start with task force and end with robbery or kidnapping.

I'd like to hear from both sides

I agree that ma y of the BRT drivers drive recklessly and behave as if they are high on drugs, one hit my neighbour and took off almost killing the young couple. Something needs to be done about that.

Jaywalking is a bigger problem that also needs to addressed with action and laws.

I know that portion of road at ikorodu, the driver should not have been going so fast as to kill somebody. It is also obvious the lady did not use the pedestrian overhead crossing built by government and was probably not attentive when she walked Into the path of the bus.....no credible eye witness account but I have a major problem with the driver for fleeing the scene and running away.

If he had stopped to assist the lady she may have survived to tell the truth about her jaywalking or unattentiveness.

My 2 cents

tokunbobo:
Ignorance is a disease. Have you not heard of the "Lagos Infection Diseases Regulations 2020 (the Regulations)" passed by the Lagos House of Assembly and signed into law by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu?

Thank you sir.

Most black people and especially we nigerians dont read at all not to talk of reading productive materials. The same people like to speak with the loudest voice.

The events of the last few weeks, requires the government to set up a Centre for Ignorance Control!

Great ....finally people can be held responsible for their actions , I would have preffered a heavier charge of attempted manslaughter!

To imagine that it's the same lady who came on air to tell us about social distancing and washing of hands and not peddling false information.

They should be made to pay the fine as this embarassment is more than enough to pay for their stupidity

She even has the guys number.....if only she knew to hand it over to anti kidnap and dss they will fish out the guy, block all his accounts. Make his life a living hell before they catch him and make his life a living hell.

1. The Grammar of the poster is so watery that one cannot make out what he or she is trying to say

2. It is important to hear the side of the Dangote driver and the Frsc

3 Those danfo drivers are murderers and killers , they do not value their own lives nor the lives of their passengers.

Education is supposed to open the minds of the educated and I find that most people blaming the dangote driver or the the dangote company are doing so based on emotions and frustration! You pass judgement based on an incoherent post? Many who walk the street have certificates but not educated.

The very minimum to do in a case like this is to hear both sides. The ones claiming the entrepreneur is using the deaths for blood money are the definition of dumb! The real killers are the FGN and state govt who fail to make our roads safe. With the number of trucks on the road it is not unexpected, based on probabilities that there will be accidents , its scientific not voodoo.

I hope nobody died and I hope whoever's caused this be made to pay for his or her sins.

My brother, The OP was written for us to learn from somebody's mistakes. Placing an ad for people to reach out for further enquiries and deals is not bad at all.

I'm sorry to say this! I discovered nairaland has been invaded by small boys in quote! I believe you are not one of them and please don't be at all. Please read and re-read OP's before you think and respond. Thanks.

You can hustle and advertise and look for clients without making it seem the late Chief was stupid. In All cultures of the world and all races, there is respect for the dead. Unfortunately the account and lessons you have stated are based on speculation. The dead is not around to state his side of the story. Let's respect that fact.

He was a victim and anyone can choose to market his property if he or she so wishes, many estate agents like yourself have been victims of crime and does that mean estate agents will stop marketing property?

When you blame a victim for crimes it's called victim shaming and blaming that is what I have a problem with. You make it seem you are wiser than the late chief. He was a victim and we all should blame the killers not the victim. Do you think if a lawyer accompanied him there will not be two dead bodies today? Do you have the detailed facts of the case before jumping to conclusions?

My view also about so called untrained bunch of charlatans who claim to be estate agents is any tom, dick , harry or jack can claim to be an agent......what training do they have ? Many just need a 10% to feed their families without even having the basic knowledge of the complex intricacies of land transactions. Many of them add no value to the transaction other than pushing up costs.

My humble view no harm intended

wofayouths:
One of the skills I acquired in my few years in the Real Estate and Forex business is the ability to identify fake Buyers and Sellers. It's quite unfortunate a Billionaire who had worked so heard to attain that level was treated like a chicken. I sincerely sympathize with the family members and friends thereof.


I fault late Chief Odunukwe for his death for the following reasons;


1) He (a billionaire) advertised the property himself

Late Chief Odunukwe's problem started when he advertised his property himself without doing it through a property agent or firm, probably he wanted to eat alone or wanted a fast sales. Yes, Odunukwe might be a real estate investor but It was not safe for him to sell or advertised his property without his or another property firm or a lawyer. He was supposed to be hidden in the whole process as a billionaire and the owner of the property.

2) He met the buyer without a Lawyer or a property Agent.

Late Odunukwe was supposed to meet the buyer with a Property lawyer or an Agent for a transaction worth #900m but he went alone instead. I believe he was driven by greed where he wanted to eat alone. 10% of #900m would have saved his life. #90m can not buy life.

3) He met the buyer in a Hotel

Late chief was supposed to meet the buyer in a neutral spot where his security is sure. They were supposed to meet in a Bank since the prospect was ready to make payment. Payment of such amount of money from a total stranger was supposed to be in a bank. At this point security is a key word because the love for money is the root of murder.

Conclusion

When God lift you from grass to grace or from grace to grace always remember there is dis before a grace moving around in search for an opportunity to surface.

You risk your life when you are not ready to distribute benefits to people below you. No matter how hard you worked to acquired wealth, don't eat alone.

Your ability to share responsibilities to others give's you a sense of leadership and control, therefore keeps you in a safe angle. You can not be everywhere!

Unfortunately you are wrong wrong .......you are simply victim shaming and using somebody's pain to sell your agency.

Those who claim to be the smartest end up being the dumbest.

If you can sit down and think, the story released by the police has holes and do you think if he were that dumb , he would control billions?

Stop trying to gain from another's misfortune, karma is real.

sapientia:
The land price though.

Exaggerated.

These rascals can't just kill someone with a property worth 900m in FCT.

Where is the said property?

Is this the only thing that matters to you upon the gruesome killing of a fellow man?

Does the sale of property mean it is land?

Another case for our national rebirth, there is something fundamentally wrong with our DNA.

IamMijk:
LIES!!!!

FRAUDULENT MAN. RETURN MY 18K!!!!!! OR ELSE...


I can confirm this guy is a fraudulent man just fell into the guys trap. I have called him almost 50 times not once did he call back I have had to use other people's phones just to get him and all he would say is sorry I'm coming to do it blah blah blah.

olutech RETURN MY 18K NOW AND MY PANEL !!!!! OR ELSE....

Thank you very much for shouting out, it's good to expose badly behaved workmen to avoid others falling into the same trap. I was about to call the guy when I saw your post.....hope you got your refund or return the fixed panel?

Once again thanks

Finally I hope this Ihedioha guy will have earned some sense as an ex governor...life is transient and he started on a wrong footing.

When a child says he will stamp on chicks to grow, the chi of the chicks will not allow that child to live long!

Mr Attorney General , give your view on Civilian JTF in Borno state also.

It's a big shame and dent on the image of The Lagos Intercontinental Hotel. I have watched quite sadly how the hotel has gone from the pride of the vi skyline and much anticipated 5 star hotel to a shadow of itself.

The finishing of the hotel is appaling and the lack of maintenance is worse....you have broken pipes leaking all over the basement and the glass panels dangerously loose. The other day a whole glass panel fell off.

I cannot enter that hotel for anything due to the rundown state and unsafely precarious state of disrepair.

How can someone invest so much money and watch the hotel fall apart....its so sad and painful

Her Intelligence , eloquence and confidence makes her stand out in a pioneering place till today. She is the Nigerian Hilary Clinton

She touched many many loves with her innovative programmes.

May God co ti ue to uphold her family!

Who takes a market woman serious.

The same set of people that take you serious

Shegzy8:
She is only trying to gain public sympathy. There are so many flaws and ignorance in what she wrote.
There are parish pastor's, Area pastor's, Zonal pastor's, Provincial pastor's and Regional pastors. It is impossible for you to pastor two churches in Redeem let alone Zonal churches.
No Redeemed pastor builds a church with his money, they are contributed from all quarters.

Tithes and offerings are remitted according to hierarchy. They are meant for the church and not pastor's. So she shouldn't go about feeding people lies.

Pastor's are paid there allowance and salary monthly and are also been paid pension after retirement.
It shows she knows nothing about the church apart from been a pastor's daughter.

You dont know the internal workings of RCCG.....your post is borne out of not knowing or deliberately trying to mislead and diversionary.

homody:
Nigerians, who have embraced Point of Sales (POS) as business and a means of survival, are now living in fear as robbers have turned attention on them.

Operators at Mowe in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State and those in Ayobo area of Lagos State, who have already experienced the venoms of these robbers, are still recounting their ordeal in the hands of the men of the underworld.

At Mowe community in Ogun State, residents were alleged to have got used to their homes and shops being burgled. They also accepted that nothing could be done by security agents in the state about incessant cases of motorcycles snatching, but presently, they are visibly perturbed following the latest attacks on POS operators.

The daredevil robbers, on most nights, will attack the homes of operators and dispossessed the victims of all their money, used in transacting the business. They also collect other valuables.

One of their victims at Mowe, who gave her name simply as Alhaja Bola, explained that she and her husband were sleeping with their children when the robbers scaled the fence of their building and gained entry into the compound. That was about midnight.

She said: “When they came in, none of us knew they were already inside the sitting room. They started shouting, ‘where is the money? Where is the money?’ When I heard the strange voices, I stood up from my bed. The next person I met on the way was one of the robbers, who marched me to my children’s rooms and ordered everyone to get up.

“The robbers were young boys between ages of 18 and 25. They ordered my children and I to lay face-down and threatened to kill whoever dared to look at them. At that point, a lot of things went through my mind. But most importantly, I thought of my children; I didn’t want anything to happen to them. I prayed.

“While this was going on, three among the robbers went into the rooms and assigned two people to guard us. To my shock, the robbers ransacked the whole apartment and brought out every valuable they could find. They also collected about 10 phones from my children and carted away N500,000 I use for my POS transactions.”

Bola added that the robbers, who were armed with locally-made guns, took their time to finish the operation before leaving two hours later.

She said: “They then went to Olajide Close where they also spent additional two hours and robbed a couple of their money and valuables.

“As I speak with you now, I have not overcome the trauma of the robbery attack. Even my children, who are adults, are also afraid to sleep in their rooms. None of us had ever had a gun pointed at him or her, let alone my children.”

Bola’s son, who spoke on condition of anonymity, explained that the robbers came fully prepared for the operations. He said the robbers took their time in ransacking the apartment and carted whatever tickled their fancy.

He disclosed that after the incident, the matter was reported at Mowe Police Divisional Headquarters for possible arrest of the suspects, but no arrest had been made.

Our correspondent, who went to the community, heard from angry residents that policemen in the axis preferred chasing cyclists and extorting money from them, to embarking on patrol of communities.

Our correspondent also went to Olajide Close, but the victims of the robbers attack were not at home.

On June 20, another set of robbers stormed Mukadamu Street, where a POS operator was also robbed of N1 million in her home.

The victim, who gave her name as Barakat alias ‘Iya Road Safety’, said that fateful day was a day she would never forget for as long as she lived.

She said: “That fateful day, I started transaction on a good note, but about 1a.m. we were sleeping when the strange visitors came and started banging on our gate. They ordered us to open the door and threatened to deal with us if they found their way into our apartment themselves.

“Out of panic, my husband didn’t open the door. They finally scaled the fence to gain access into our compound. When they got into our sitting room, my husband and I had already said our last prayers; because we thought they would do as they had earlier threatened.

“Luckily for us, they didn’t touch us, but they ransacked the rooms for money and valuables. They came out with N1 million. It was the money I had just collected from the cooperative society. I wanted to use the money to boost my business. Immediately I saw the bag containing the money, I urinated on my body. I knew there was no way I could return the money to the cooperative.”

Barakat added that since the incident, police had not been able to arrest the suspects, while she now depended on her children to feed. She said that the robbery wrecked her business.

A police source at Mowe Divisional Headquarters told our correspondent that on a daily basis, they received complaints of POS operators being attacked. The source said that the police were already having a series of meetings with the operators on precautionary methods of doing business in a community like Mowe and its environs.

At House No. 5, Shotayo Adebayo Street, Abesan in Mosan Okunola Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, a similar attack was carried out. One of the victims is Mrs. Nike Akande.

The woman narrated how the robbers collected money in her apartment, which she had earlier took as a loan from cooperative society. She disclosed that the robbery left her devastated.

Akande, a widow, who lost her husband four years ago, decided to go into POS business as a result of her ill health. She revealed that since the death of her husband, things had not been the same for her and her children.

She said: “I was given N1.2 million by my husband’s family members after the demise of my husband, to take care of my children. I decided to go into POS business, so as to have a close look on my younger children, because my first daughter just got admission into the University of Ibadan to study Medicine and Surgery.

“Thank God when I started the business, there was little patronage, but as time progressed, people started coming and the money was yielding profit. I used to close business at 7p.m.. I don’t go beyond that hour.

“On that fateful day, I was about to lock the main gate to our compound when three guys hijacked the gate from me and forced their way into my compound. Before I realised what was happening, they had brought out guns and ordered me into my sitting room. Unfortunately, none of our neighbours knew what was happening.

“When the robbers entered the sitting room, they sat on a couch and asked me to entertain them. Out of panic, I went into the kitchen and got them soft drinks, after which I begged and told them that I was a widow, that they should have mercy on me. I became speechless when they told me how much they came to rob from me.

“When I pleaded with them, I was told to go and bring N1 million. I begged them that the only money I had in the house was N500,000. They collected the money and asked me to pray for them, which I did and then they left. It was after they had gone that I ran out and started shouting; it was my cries that attracted my tenants. We checked round the whole community if we could get them, unfortunately, we couldn’t trace them. That was how I lost my money.”

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, refused to pick his calls neither did he reply to the text message sent to him to confirm the attacks on POS operators.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana said, Point of Sales Operators should take security issue serious especially in a business environment.

Elkana, However, Said, such a cases are isolated one, POS Operations should install Close Circuit Camera in their shops where they are doing business, so that if such incident occurred, Police would be able to analyse the video and go after the robbers.’

“There was a time, when a game centre was robbed, it was the CCTV footage that exposed the robbers and they were arrested.”

https://www.newtelegraphng.com/2019/11/robbers-turn-guns-on-pos-operators-in-ogun-lagos/

human rights activists will not comment or defend the rights of the victims who are helpless in the the face of our overwhelmed security forces. No one cares about the rights of the POS operators and families whose lives are badly traumatised and businesses destroyed.

The day the frustrated people form a vigilante catch and kill the robbers ....those human rights will appear and begin to defend the rights of the robbers.......i think the residents should wake uo from their indifference and slumber and protect their communities.

Pls what is the maximum number of times I can reuse a plate number on different cars?
