Irony1:
Ohhhh my God you guys don't know how to lie. Tinubu went to CSU the guy Alex went to University of Illnois and Baba said they were neighbours and classmates.
He never said they were classmates, that’s a manifestation of poor English comprehension on your part.

On CSU v UIC, he needs to explain himself. I can offer an explanation but I am not his spokesman.

Irony1:
But Alex never went to CSU? Please explain that
i have finally solved the riddle:

it is the same person.

1: Tinubu and Alex were neighbours in the 1990s when Tinubu was in exile in the US.
2: Alex was at the time doing a masters in business at CSU, Tinubu had already graduated

Tinubu should have said "as me" instead of "with me" many Nigerians abuse English in this manner.

in conclusion, they were neighbours they attended the same school but not at the same time.

i said it in a previous post that this is likely a use of English problem:

casualobserver:
“Alex was my very good friend and neighbor and went to the same school with me in Chicago”


I say it many times that many Nigerians speak English but do not understand or frequently abuse the language.


It could be that Alex was a younger neighbor who later attended the same school as Tinubu. In which case Tinubu goofed and showed poor use of English by saying “with me” instead of “as me”.

Has it occurred to you that it is possible to have different people with the same name and that you people are jumping on the details of another Alex?

Tinubu said they went to the same university! He wouldn’t say so unless they did!

The other explanation is that they did indeed attend school together at the same time but this is a different Alex from the one born in 1966 who also lived in Chicago whose records Atiku’s goons retrieved from public r cords just as Iwas able to.. It is not unusual to have multiple people with the same name in the same town. It’s not the first time his goons have made a full of him chasing shadows.

One thing I am sure of, Tinubu would not have made that statement in public unless it was factual, considering the previous controversies.

[quote author=ChristmyLORD post=135873425][/quote]or maybe Atiku and his bumbling aides searchee chicago public records and assumed there was only one Alex Zingman who lived in Chicago?

Tinubu is not that sloppy to introduce a classmate with a dodgy record considering what he had been through.

if Tinubu says he was his class mate, then I believe him. Atiku's record on these things is questionable at best. Afterall we remember his wild goose chase to CSu where even the Uiversity said he graduated from our university.

the problem with Atiku when he goes on these fruitless expeditions is he ends up making a fool of himself.

Since the war between Iran and Israel broke out, I have been hearing of how air defense system were able to intercept missiles fired by the other countries. The question that came into my mind was does Nigeria possess such mechanism in case of any eventuality?
who is invading you that you need air defense? Its only people who go around causing problems around the world that are afraid of their shadows!

TheVictorious:
What proxy terror groups has north korea equipped with ammunition to strike other countries?
like i said go and read your histrory of the middle east and America's involvement particularly iran and iraq

as for terror groups, the biggest terrorist are the Americans. There is virtually no terror group including iSiS, Al Qaeda etc and Boko haram that that have not had American backing.

The current American backed president of Syria, is he not a former Islamic terrorist? Was Irag not funded by the USA, were the taliban not once their friends? Most of the islamic terrorists today are people Americans armed in the past to prosecute an agenda for them but have now outlived their usefulness to the Americans.

This fellow ought to have blotted out the figures if he was professional.
I am not a fan of either Reno or Segun. I think they both talk with both sides of their mouths and are both intelligent men who manipulate a largely inintelligent audience for their own purpose.

However, if Segun was willing to deny (thereby implying or explicitly stating that Reno is a liar) then Reno has the right to humiliate him.

Iran started the war last year when they fired over 300 missiles at Israel.
Israel said they would retaliate at the time of their choice, and that is what they have done
go and read your history books. Israel is the most vile and evil regime in the world. And in case you think I am a muslim, I am not!

Botragelad:
I guess Iran’s idea of victory is having its nuclear facilities, jets, launchers, military bases hit by Israel and losing top generals left and right, scientists and soldiers included.

All they accomplished was launching a bunch of missiles that didn’t harm Israel’s military in any way or take out a single Israeli general.
your post would make sense if iran started the war.
they didnt start the war.

this is the reason the wanted a nuclear weapon...you dont see anyone bombing north korea. Everybody leaves them to dey them dey because they have nuclear weapons.
Career › Re: Loyalty Vs Incompetence; Competence Vs Disloyalty: Who Would You Fire? by casualobserver:
AnnPraise:
It takes competence to hire someone but it takes loyalty to remain on the job. A loyal employee will be competent with time, he or she will grow on the job.
an incompetent employee remain incompetent, you simply lower your standards and learn to manage him. this mindset is one reason why the Nigerian economy is full of inefficient workers...we manage them and they destroy our businesses with their incompetence.

trust me you are better off with a competent employee and learning to manage his disloyalty!
Politics › Re: 2027: No Magic Can Make APC And Tinubu Win Any State In The South-south Region by casualobserver: 4:42pm On Jun 23, 2025
Linzo:
Keep on consoling yourselves, after all, PDP and it's members had same fake confidence in 2015 but what was the end game.

When the masses, the people, the oppressed are against you, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Like they say PBAT is a OTP
oga you are making emotional statements or at best expressing an opinion which is your right. I am stating a fact...you can lose all states and win the presidential elections. Elections are a numbers game not an emotional game of who won which state! A presidential election is not a stste election but a national election!

you win a presidential election by getting 30% here 40% there, not by getting 95% in states with small numbers and getting 3% in states with large populations..

For example: Obi won Enugu state with 93% and 428,0000 votes but despite losing Kano and lagos Tinubu got more votes (570,000 & 523,000) in those states than Obi got for his 93% victory in Enugu. Tinubu's loss in Kano cancelled Obi's landslide in Enugu.

Plus it is not about just winning a a state it is about margin of victory. For example Atiku won taraba with 186K votes but Tinubu came 3rd with 135k votes, so despite Tinubu coming 3rd and Atiku winning, out of 500,000 total votes, all the victory in Taraba contributed to Atiku was 51,000 votes. what matters is not winning or losing a state but the difference between your votes and your opponent.

learn to understand elections, its not about who wins which state it is not a gubernatorial election. Only small minded simpletons think like that. When a party is looking to make inroads into a state, sometimes they dont need or expect to win. The intent is to reduce your margin of victory. Like I said in a 3 horse race, you can lose all states and win the national election so long as you are picking up enough votes in many states.

Mynd44:
He doesn't need to win any state in the South South. If he gets nunbers like 41% and cuts the gaps in this state, it is enough
some of them dont understand the mathematics of elections. In a 3 horse race you can lose all 36 states +FCT and win overall.

FreeStuffsNG:
A “number of countries” are ready to supply Iran with nuclear warheads following American strikes on nuclear facilities early on Sunday, Russian ex-president Dmitriy Medvedev claimed on social media.


Say no to nuclear world war.War. USA struck first though.

This is a USA-Iran war all along. The geopolitical location Israel is just a proxy and battle ground for the war the American Republican Party imposed on Americans.
There is no nuclear war happening. The reason the bully USA attacked Iran is because they don’t have Nuclear weapons. The reason they don’t attack countries like Russia, China and North Korea is because they have nuclear weapons.

Having nuclear weapons are a deterrent against Bullies!

Again nobody is going to deploy nuclear weapons because it is mutually assured destruction aka suicidal to do so.

Can't this man just STFU. He's becoming a nuisance lately with his reckless talk
The man is borderline uneducated. He does not understand the meaning of accrued expenses and receivables. Neither did he stop to consider the implications of what he is saying N201 trillion is approx $130b. How can that kind of sim go missing in a country like Nigeria, what is the sim total of all the crude oil produced in that period?

How a man like this was a governor, a president of the stock exchange and a leading opposition figure is a testament to how dumbed down we have become as a nation!

Except they're not all brand new, at least from the one I tested.

The problem with Deriy 14.3Kwh Hithium White Battery with MCCB is the cells are not brand new. See the attached image of the QR code. How can you say cells manufactured in 2021 are brand new?! Or are these fake QR codes? Whichever it is, it's still false marketing.
The BMS (image attached) was programmed to charge at 40amps, new cells are supposed to support charging at 1c. Or are the Hithium cells in Deriy different?
In Southern Nigeria lifepo4 needs to be charged as fast as possible because of the weather, the sky is not always clear like in the north. So anyone with high PV output should be able to charge at 1c or 0.5?

One more thing is the Deriy 14.3Kwh Hithium White Battery with MCCB is not DIY friendly because the cells are welded (image attached)
It won't be easy to replace a cell if something goes wrong in the future. DIYers should have this in mind before buying Deriy battery pack. You get what you pay for but KaylaDeriy shouldn't be marketing these as brand new, they're definitely not.

Nice community you guys have here, researching this battery to get more info & Google landed me on this thread. Capacity test to follow soon, these are first observations.
Good watch below:

Seun:
My Fellow Nairalanders,

We have implemented a minimum post size of 40 characters in order to improve our content quality. We want people to patiently compose substantial replies before hitting the submit button. Based on your feedback, we may increase or decrease the limit in the future.

We have also extended the blocking period between members to 3 weeks, because many Nairalanders felt that the previous duration was too short.

Our automated system for dealing with spam and toxicity is now much smarter than it was in the beginning. It's now much less likely to take action against innocent posts. Alas, it is still far from perfect, so please be patient with us as we strive to make it more perfect.

- Seun.
Blocking should be permanent. There are people I do not wish to interact with and those who may choose not to interact with me.

The 40 word rule is a typical Nigerian knee jerk reaction that as you can see can be subverted by just typing characters to fill up the space! It’s not every problem you can or must solve. A solution for a minority that creates another annoying problem for the majority is not a solution.

All anyone has to do and have done to get around your poorly though through rule is to type for example:
“Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx” after a post that requires a short reply.

Only Wike will be left in APC, after the whole show. PDP will come back in a way that will surprise, everyone. grin grin grin grin
PDP cant come back to the way it was before...certainly not for a very long time if ever. If you understand the genesis of PDP, how it came into being, what it was, you will understand their problem and why it cant be solved.

PDP was fundamentally a vehicle for the military to transition into civilian rule, it is fundamentally at its core an undemocratic institution. it got away with it because it held power for 16years.

PDp will have to learn how to be democratic to rebuild but its members are people who dont know how to be democratic...people used to or who have inherited the military mindset of "do what I say"!

Also note, the youth are not joining PDP so it is left with the old guard with their egos and undemocratic ways who at their age arent going to change their ways.


fayose said it in 2023...PDP is done as a National party!

Never underestimate a person or a country that is willing to endure pain for a cause. It’s the reason the west is crumbling and why they can’t win wars with countries like China Russia and Iran.

These people were forged in pain and endurance! Even if you win a battle you can’t win the war with them.
