Nigerians are a reflection of the political leaders.
They love to shift blame and always fail to realise that they are part of the problem.
Every adult man or woman is a leader in their own right by the way. All fathers and mothers are examples of leaders, so if you raise kids you can not feed, you are corrupt and selfish.
Honestey: This man isn't just a kidnapper, he has killed many people from the stories we heard at the time of his arrest. And to reward him for his evil deeds, the evil people in leadership affairs saw it fit to not only spare his life like they did for killer bokoharams but give him chance many good people don't get from government to shine further in life just as killer bokoharams got rewards for killing thousands of innocent people. The question is, how do we prove to the youths that crimes is bad?
Releasing him will be a shame on the legal and judiciary system. It is also alleged that he was arrested earlier in 2006 as a member of a robbery gang based on identification by a former police chief and gunshot mark at his chest , BUT was released in guise of case transfer to become a hardened criminal who killed more people.
If by 2038 when he is approaching 70yrs and we are having this sort of plea bargain, we may reason it not barely 7 years from when he was arrested. In 2022, when the prosecuting judge gave him the verdict, the judge mentioned he did not show remorse but kept lying despite video evidence.
papyjaypaul: I don't know how old he was then but that evil man was no young man consumed by crime as his lawyer would have us believe. The man set a terrible precedence for kidnapping of regular hardworking people with the 'kidnapper billionaire' name becoming a fancy title for criminals. Very wicked person whose crime has made it unsafe for regular people to enjoy their hard work and now, other criminals have taken How To Kidnap People 101 tutorial from his School of Hard Locks. If he was young and lost in crime, he wouldn't build a family and invest his money the way he did. It was intentional and calculated. No mercy for someone who steals sleep from other people. I know Nigerians have amnesia and love to pity people after sometime in the name of faux forgiveness but I'm very sure the families of those he kidnapped will not forget the pain he put them in.
very nice summary, it captures my thought process. He killed others in his kidnapping business and at least needs to spend considerable time in prison, at least 20 years before reviewing eligibility for parole. We must not insult the sensibilities of the victims and families of those victims sent to otherside of the world.
GeeM: I have not done HIV test yet. I'm yet to summon the courage to go for that one. Even hepatitis B. I'm scared of the possible outcome but one of these days I will make up my mind and go for it
i doubt your ftontal cortex is fully developed based on your judgement of risk. How can 15 mins of pleasure be worth lifetime disease? You did not learn anything from this experience. It is almost impossible for you to judge girls with sti from physical appearance.
Ironfaceman: Like the Edo state election, where a key witness confirmed some INEC irregularities.
key witness "confirmed" inec irregularities. It is the same way you are quick to believe what you want to believe forgetting that APC also have key witness that can "confirm" there was no irregularity. Have you heard of confirmation bias?
Ironfaceman: Tuggar is now a confirmed zombie.. Me I don't know how this is possible Nigerians hate APC but when it comes to election APC will win. If this no be juju. Wetin ebi.
because you see only what you want to see. Politics is not just plain emotions, there are multiple factors that determine election winners even discounting rigging.
A pause in this aid will have significant effects on the continent's economy including Nigeria's, as the West African most populous nation, hitherto, remains a major beneficiary.
This may have significant impacts on the country’s large, teeming populartion of over 200 million people.
That should be the attitude. No one truly sends you. Infact they want to use you and act like they are helping. Get shit done and stop moaning.
sunsweet33: Losing weight is ok if you look healthy. I’m saying that the man is DRIED UP…even his skin and face is looking somehow
if "dried up" is under weight, he does not look underweight to me. His weight looks normal mere looking at him. For his face, handsomeness is not his strong point, genetics, aging and stress all adds up. Many people approaching 60yrs in Nigeria starts having wrinkled face.
What many nigerians call "looking healthy" is actually not good health. Many politicians with big tummy and plumpy face are quite sick. Bug tummy suggest you have terrible metabolism with associated diabetes, fatty livet disease e.t.c
sunsweet33: Is anybody going to tell us what has happened to this man. Why is he looking so f***ing DRY like this! Haa!
He is most likely healthier now, i bet his Body mass index is normal. Nigerians think people who look round and rotund are the healthy ones. He used to look moderately obese, and with that comes with all sort of illnesses: high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea e.t.c
Since the resumption of that president of B/faso with broad chest who can talk and wow minions, insecurity has worsened in the country, same in Niger . One of the main reasons these coup plotters took over was insecurity due to terrorism.
People who are so quick to completely blame others for their problem hardly make progress. The number one problem of Africa are her people. Running away from france and then moving in to the hands of russia , another imperialist armed with self interest tells me all that i need to know about the B/faso leader
43Ronin: The problem with you ronu people is that you are arrogantly illiterate. How can you say USA increased MPR to cut inflation? Both USA, UK & Canada have been cutting interest rate to reduce inflation since begining of 2024. The cbn governor is as intelligent as you. Dumb as governor
interest rates are typically increased to reduce inflation. When the inflation rate starts reducing to a defined and acceptable threshold , usually 1-3%, then the interest rate will be reduced still considering some other economic factors like shrink in economy , job losses e.t.c. The whole of 2022 and 2023 when there was record high inflation of 30-40 years old in Canada and USA, interest rates were increased severally to combat the inflation. Inflation is now trending downwards, it is on that basis, interest rates are reduced.
Nigerias case and what triggered inflation in my opinion is predominantly govt. Printing a lof of excess money, which triggered "Artificial"inflation. So a typical solution may not completely work.
To explain in a very lay mans path to understand: Inflation is too much money chasing few goods and services. As such govt tries to stiffle spending of populace by raising interest rates
OneCandleAway: Ask anyone living there what different it has made security wise.
its hard to ask just one person and form an opinion about the security of the state. I will rather like to have statistics of armed robbery, kidnapping , murder e.t.c pre and post major intervention. Is it trending up or trending down?
I am not even in Nigeria and not disputing there is a chance he is allocating higher than usual limited resources to road construction, but in this same road launching report, i can see report about plan for potable water 50 billion naira..... I also recall him promising to build a government school for a remote community recently. That is human capital development if true. Maybe you have your own idea of human capital development. Are you a govt. Worker in FCT?
OneCandleAway: What's the point of road if everyday you get 3 cases of one chance in abuja. The smooth road even makes the operation easy. So to you human capital development is unnecessary .
are you implying he is doing nothing in terms of security? If i recalled vividly he donated patrol vehicles recently.
MASTAkiLLAh: Tribune revealed the victim's name for mischievous reasons, standard procedure is to say "names witheld" but these guys mentioned her first name, her mother's full name and school attended, they might as well have given out her home address and phone number. Useless journalists, useless Tribune who are more interested in causing social stigma for an underaged ràpe victim
I noticed that and got so pissed. What are they teaching in journalism schools ? Are the editors also so unprofessional ?
zoedew: You are entitled to your opinion of my person but that won't take away from the validity of my perception of the situation under review. It is seriously doubtful that an accomplished professional who lives in Nigeria in his own property free of mortgage repayment obligations with all infrastructure running 24 hours and serviced by a dedicated Starlink internet access and CCTV with an international passport that contains visas of countries travelled to on vacation and work trips has any reason to have "so much bile for others "progress" " of anyone who lives elsewhere www. Do you get the picture🧐? Better to simply say that you disagree with my views than make assumptions that fly in the face of reality. I am good by the grace of God!
ok, i understand why you are angry.... You enjoy the i better pass my neighbour mentality you have over 99.9% of people around you and keep wondering if those who left will now be better than you. Focus on your self and do what you can to improve the country.
zoedew: Folks should hold their governments responsible and fight to ensure good governance and not go into overdrive just because they obtained Australian Permanent Residency at 48 years of age!! Americans worked and fought hard for the successful America we all see today. Nigerians should follow suit! Only shallow minded Nigerians think differently. For an example, the Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Adeshina and Ezekwesilis of this world know that it is a lot better and more fulfilling to have and live in a Nigeria that is well governed than to be an Obama! When the chips are down America belongs to Americans! Don't kid yourself!!
you are so pained about another man who got Australian PR at 84 or 48. What is your immediate business with that? Nigeria has 230 million citizens and is not short of people who may develop it. Ngozi Okonjo iweala has an american passport and possibly the others you listed.
Many of you just secrete so much bile for others "progress" and wonder why you dont progress.
DaBullIT: Legalize this thing and control the supply, no matter how hard anyone tries, people who will seek drugs will seek it
About 25-30 years ago if any US police finds weed on you, you'll rot in peisn
Today it's legalized and people are buying Licence to farm and sell it
Violence will not end as long as it's still a competition
Common sense
weed and Cocaine are two worlds apart. Spare the cocaine in coke bs? A cocaine addict is almost surely messed up for life, even several years after weaning, they are still susceptible. If youths less than 25 years with frontal cortex not fully developed starts taking cocaine, the brain is most likely fried forever.
NaijaCowFarm: What are Agbado illiterates celebrating here?
70% of Oyedele's recommendations have been whittled down or thrown away. - Derivation is now only 20% instead of 80% - Corporation Tax - UNCHANGED - VAT increase - STALLED - 80% (50% -equity + 30% -population) of VAT still goes to POPULATION and EQUITY (North is the winner, while Lagos and Rivers lose) - All Institutions like TETFUND, NASEN, NITDA, etc - UNCHANGED
What exactly did TINUBU achieve with the Tax Reform Bills? Congratulations to Zulum, Ndume and Bala = These WINNERS
The governors are stakeholders providing recommendation. It ie still a bill that will finalised by the legislative chamber and final assent may be president.
Its painful there will be collateral damage. These terrorists must be slaughtered faster than they can recruit. It will be hard but possible.
Some so called civilians also quickly metamorphosed to bandits. If killed, their family and loved ones claim civilian. In a recent report we had a member of civilian Joint task force supplying food and maggi to his brother in Boko haram camp. If such brother is killed in air bombardment, the brother will be claimed as innocent civilian.
Its like going to Nigeria prison, majority will claim they did not commit the crime, they were all robed and imprisoned wrongly, but the truth is otherwise.
She choose to stay in the background i believe. They were last seen together in 2023 in my perspective after yrs of speculation they were no more.
@op, the reason why you are "curious" about another mans wife whereabout is that you harbour hate and wish the wife leaves Oshiomole so bad that you want to earnestly confirm it, because you believe Osho baba does not deserve to bag the pretty lady.
