This nnamdi Kanu is just a lunatic

pure breed lunatic. This says so much about his followers.

Sunday2021:
Sometimes I wonder if the igbos are full of mentally unstable human beings. How can a sensible human being believe this kind of statement from a terrorist like kanu. For educated people to gather #1000 every month and give to one idiot in far away London is not a normal thing.
No wander the same kanu called his fellow igbos "PIGS" and no one from Igbo land dare to confront him about the statement.
#lpobareterrorist.

my brother, it's shocking. I wonder what befell the igbos. It's not normal.

My brother all this people knew about it...OBJ has been lamenting since about how we are being govern and led into disintegration. Do you saw the warning post small Femi Adeshina was tell a whole General? I just laugh. Each highly place offcials in government knows wetin dey but they have all sworn oath of secrecy, they cant say out anytning. Anyone going to see Buhari must swore an oath of secrecy, ask anyone in the secret service.
Britain is just the big cover up here but America has been protesting with there body language but Britain keeps insisting they keep off that Nigeria is her helps of influence. It's not bad as a cover up to stabilize the zoning stuff of the north since GEJ took there tenure but those rulling as De facto presidents are killing this country..there are too many with vested selfish interest. You knw too many cooks spoil the brot.
Live sentiments are observe all Buhari public appearance and speech from 2014-2015 and April 2017 till date!

nwanne, are you not tired of sounding ridiculous? There is no iota of sense in all you typed. Nnamdi kanu Oji ogwu jide unu ncha? O gini? It's shameful you still have this reasoning. So Obj also swore an oath of secrecy abi. Just listen to yourself. This is crass stupidity.

Oga, I am not really here to drag words with u. If are at peace with how Nigeria is, I wish u all the best. I can't even for once imagine my self defend a country as terrible as Nigeria. USA is not the only country with high quality education.

I made it clear to u that one of the biggest problems facing Nigeria is corruption. People are ready to pay as long as what they are paying is evident enough. Not here where they loot the money due to a useless system of govt we practice.
Nigeria that is a poor country, yet, go and see how much your senators and various politicians take home from all angles. Nigerian politicians are among the richest on earth.

Let start with what we have. No, they will loot it.
We don't need heaven and earth to tell us that things are not well in Nigeria.

see how you derailed completely. You can't even stick to the issue you raised. Just jumping around like testicles. I overrated you. Bye.

I don't get it? If govt had provided education to the people of the north, no one will be foolish enough to accept to join Boko Haram. So what are you saying? One of the biggest challenges of our country is terrible educational system and extreme poverty. These two have made many people available for foolish crimes.

I read an article where the author stated that after independence in Africa, many African leaders were encouraged not to invest in the education of their people and wallow them into poverty. That this way, the populace will never know their left from their right.
This is simple logic. Poor education leads to poverty and this causes terrible crime rate, poor citizenship, among others. So, why are u abusing me?
Leaders were paid to provide quality education but they have failed. They even ran away from using the same educational system we paid them to create because they know that the system is wack.

now let's be civil and reason. Do you think government is not providing education? Have you ever travelled out of Nigeria? Do you know the cost of education in the U.S and so called saner climes? It's really ridiculous when you guys make bogus and unfounded claims. Do you know U.S has a higher number of uneducated (in terms of going to school) than Nigeria? Primary education in Nigeria is free. Secondary Education is highly subsidised. Some state Governors even pay for waec and neco exams for students. Tuition fee in federal tertiary institutions is highly subsidised. Until you travel outside to sponsor your own education, you won't appreciate what you have. That said, the quality of education is poor. We have very low intellectually capable teachers. That is the truth. Teachers who do not impart knowledge. Teachers who only teach for the pay and not the passion. We have teachers who are unfit to teach. We have maintained an old curriculum phased out by time. I was looking at a project topic given to a student by her lecturer and I instantly became weak. I even got sick when I learnt it was approved by the HOD and a panel. A topic which had no bearing to her study and of no societal importance. This is the problem with our education. Governor Elrufia identified this problem and decided to weed out those who have no business teaching from the teaching profession. In our usual way as irresponsible Nigerians who have no inkling on proferring solution, we politicised it. We the citizens are the problem of this nation, not "government or system" as we term it. Who runs the government or system? If you do not know the ideologies and root cause of boko haram, please do not delve into it. Poverty no doubt has a role in crime but not in its entirety. Else the guys in saner climes who push drugs, steal cars, engage in cybercrimes won't do that. We have a serious and deadly decline in morals. Poverty should actually push one to strive for hard work in order to break loose of the poverty. This applies where there is moral. I will end with this. I had an uncle who was raised in a poverty stricken home in the 50's. He couldn't go to school cos there was no means. But he would borrow books of those who went to school and read. Eventually he raised money for A level exam as it were in those days from doing vulcanizer job. He passed. He got FG scholarship and was sent to Bulgaria to study. Came back and was employed in ajaokuta steel company. Company folded and he came to owerri where he gave birth to his children and raised all of them up comfortably. He broke thru the shackles of poverty. This is what poverty should push one who has morals to and not crime. He is late though, but he left legacies behind.
Addendum: I believe you are well educated. Please research and read widely about student loans in U.S and other western countries.

9jaRealist:
PS: Btw, I noticed your reference to (indirect) VAR taxes, instead of direct (income, corporate or other direct taxes). Yet, it sounds as if your doing pretty well materially (private estate, etc.). Without presumption or prejudice (and assuming that you actually and timely payment all of your due taxes), the propensity of the average Nigerian to EVADE taxes is one of the contributing factors for the paucity of public services. The fact is that Nigeria reportedly has the LOWEST tax to GDP ratio in all of Africa (yes, even lower than many very poor African nations) speaks volumes. The reality is that, outside of the civil service and those subject to PAYE withholding taxes, the greater majority of income-earning Nigerians (in formal and informal employment or self-employment) ACTIVELY EVADE paying their due taxes or notoriously underpay (when/if they pay at all) - and yet everyone seems to expect world-class public services. Of course, a big reason is the Culture of Entitlement cultivated by the oil windfall that the overwhelming majority of Nigerians do not contribute to in any way at all!

I am well aware that many Nigerians would argue that they do (or should) not pay taxes because there is little or no evidence of tax revenues being put to good use or that said revenues are more than likely to be embezzled, but such an argument only renders the citizens just as culpable the rulers (I am loathe to refer to these lot as actual leaders). Every nation/society is a social construct built upon the basic premise of rights and responsibilities, perhaps best manifested the so-called “social contract” between the government and the governed. But every contract requires “consideration” - which means that you have to provide something to get something in return. Accordingly, when citizens fail to pay timely and fully pay their due taxes, it is not only a moral failing in the basic tenets of citizenship (those taxes can be likened to equity investment in the nation, from which citizens expect some form of returns) but also a more legalistic failure to uphold one’s obligations under the “social contract” - and consequently strips such derelict citizens of any (moral or other) right to complain.

Unfortunately, so many Nigerians have this rather weird notion of citizenship, whereunder citizens enjoy only rights but do not bear commensurate responsibilities. Yet, as with most of human experience, one most often gets what one pays for - and that’s if you’re lucky! Furthermore, Nigerians have a rather grave misconception of the resources available to the state (even if politicians did not steal a significant portion of public resources). Just for perspective, the US expended over $4 trillion just on healthcare last year (2020) and yet could not guarantee access to healthcare (or adequate and affordable healthcare) to all of its citizens - including to many actual taxpayers! Accordingly, even if Nigeria spent every single cent it earned from oil and gas sales ($32.6 billion in 2018, even before the pandemic decimated revenues in 2020, and for perspective Kuwait made $60.7 billion same year with a population of only 1 million nationals) solely on healthcare and neglected everything else, the government still wouldn’t have anywhere near the revenues to provide the sort of world-class healthcare across the nation and across all strata of society (even if the politicians did not steal a penny).

While fully cognizant of the gross failures of governments in Nigeria, it is sometimes irritating that Nigerians often act as if they have absolutely no agency in their own fortune (or perhaps more accurately, misfortune) - even discounting that the poorest Nigerians are often the most fervent supporters/voters of “Sai Baba” and the political elite, and even the supposedly educated class and/or middle-class will fanatically defend their “own” (defined by tribal, religious or such other base or primordial affiliation) in almost all circumstances (including corruption charges). Yet, every single CHALLENGE in our nation is also an OPPORTUNITY - and as life experience has amply illustrated, the most successful people and organizations are those who address or otherwise help solve challenges. In Nigeria, our eyes are too clouded with the torrent of tears from our wailing about our challenges that we fail to see opportunities arising therefrom.

With all due respect, the saying that every society DESERVES the leadership it gets couldn’t be more aptly demonstrated than in Nigeria!

God bless you for this painstaking response. We have a huge number of irresponsible citizens which reflects in every sphere of our lives.

Basher8583:
From what I see you typing it's obvious this is going to be an unproductive argument

the guy is a lunatic. You may actually be arguing with a primary school kid. Do they still teach social studies and government in schools? Cos I just can't understand the reasoning of these things.

Princedapace:
U hold leaders to ransom becus they are paid to provide leadership. U cant hold the ordinary man on the street to ransom becus he is not getting paid.

Our leaders are among the highest paid on earth and they are paid to provide us with basic things.
If those who are paid to their job did it, there wont be boko haram boys or kanu boys as u said.

We can never ever except the leaders. They intentionally refused to educate the poeple so that they will always have tools.

misterone, look at the daft you have been responding to. Just look at his first paragraph. How did we raise such things in this society. How? God, how?

PIMPAR:
If I have listened to propagandist like you, I wouldn't have left my comfort home zone to other zones for my business transactions.
It's over 6 weeks now, I have virtually moved round to 10 states for my business development.
I have neither encountered Robbers or any Fulani herdsmen on the roads. From Taraba, to Benue ,to Kano, Rivers, Delta, to Nassarawa, Enugu, Imo and others
You all remain in your comfort zone and allow these media houses to overblow the insecurity for you in Nigeria.
You want us to believe as if the roads in Nigeria have been taken over by kidnappers.

God bless you. comments on this thread shows we have an abundance of young lunatics in this country. I really pity for the future. Idiots who want to sit lazily in their homes and government will feed them and give them exotic cars to ride. Fools who have smart phones and internet and yet can't put them to legitimate productive use.

Heav89:
You are Mad
I got almost kidnapped yesterday

At least 1000 Robery incident everyday in Lagos alone

Maybe when it hit your family members you will realize

but do you know you guys are really senseless and demented. No insults. You are one of those who occupied Lagos shouting endsars. Sars has ended and the criminals you guys empowered have taken over and you are complaining. Enjoy the consequencies of your actions. Stupidity has really come to stay.

These are the killings that have been going on and the media has been pinning it on fulani herdsmen. I have said it severally, if war should break out in this country, the media will be held responsible

Muyesky:
Hello everyone, is 2007 BMW 530i a good buy? What are the pros and cons?

I will advice you buy the 08 model upwards. The 04 to 07 model has it's ECU in the spare tyre well in the boot. There is high risk of water ingress and damage to that ECU. 08 and above have the ECU relocated from that area. Very beautiful car to ride. Reliable too. Don't just buy Nigerian used.

Zoharariel:
Yes! If you're a billionaire, it is a good buy; but if you're one of the usual Naija hustlers shouting "I must buy motor, I must buy motor".

Hahahahaaaaaa! You better Ben Johnson and go look for a clean Lexus, Volvo or Old Benz (2010 downwards) else, na the Bmw go kill you last last.

Of course I know, majority of those you think are enjoying & hyping Beemers on this thread are covertly licking their wounds.

No doubt, Beemers drive like an "Aerion AS2 Jet" but for every 100km it drives you, you must also drive & park it in a mechanic workshop for atleast 3months.

Habaaa! You carry a BM enter workshop today, dem tell you say dem don fix am, hahahaaaaa, my brother - you go still return am to the workshop the following day.

Na push me, I push you.

I am telling you from experience!

If you don't believe me, log onto jiji and browse the Bmw models on sale. Omo, you go see 2012 Beemers (5 & 7 series most especially X5) being advertised for 2 or 3 million because the machine don show dem pepper.

Do not buy the "if you don't use the recommended oil grade, it will fvck you up" bullshiit. Bmws are designed to fail.

Misery loves company. The owners are trying to transfer the burden to the next unfortunate owner while they themselves port to Japanese.

Na that overheating part nearly make me craze.

I am already going grey and I no fit do the kind wahala wey Beemer give me 20 - 25years ago.

Don't get me wrong, I will definitely still buy Beemers (prolly The M6 & X7M) because it was my first love but e go be brand new tear-rubber and by that time, I go don relocate to Switzerland or Austria where competent hands can diagnose & work on it, not all these our trial & error mechanics looking for shortcuts to escape Buhari's induced-hardship (no offense intended).

Amigo, the long & short of my epistle is that if you have 5Billion Naira in your "akkant" ; by all means, go ahead & buy the Beemer.

But from the picture on your profile, as I see you dey carry poun-poun for building site, my brother, that Beemer go send you back to the village. Hahahahaaaaaaa

lies from the pit of hell. I use a 2008 535i. It's been nothing but joy. Only changed a hose a mechanic inadvertently punctured while servicing the car. In about 2 years of ownership, no issues whatsoever. You are talking from experience? What did you expect when you bought a thoroughly abused naija used bmw that you couldn't restore to factory spec?

Xray of the waist indeed. But look at Dr. Torunana's color combination. Pink shirt, green tie, blue trouser. Is that even a trouser or wrapper? Kai. Bayelsa NMA should teach their chairman dress ethics.

This is someone's horrible experience with the scammer luvinhubby.

Henix:
We will wait to see his defence, but if truely that he failed to resolve the matter amicably with u, then urself is not even helping matters. See how u blur his account number in the screenshot u uploaded. Are u trying to protect someone who seem to be a dubious person?

Bros, type out his bank details and tag it scam, in such a way that if someone Google the account details in future, he or she will be directed to this page where his past dubious dealing with u can be seen. Though u said that the 8k is insignificant to u, but u might be saving others from falling victims to such person tomorrow

i actually wanted to see his reply to know if i shouod expose his details. With the lie he put up, i will expose it.

luvinhubby:
Ok, had to search my chat history before i saw your chat, must have been distracted then and failed to get back and forgot and for that i apologize.

Acura, Accord & Pilot alternate parts, the part number you sent alternates with Accord 2010 and you did not send back what was sent to you and is still holding on to it till now, how do i replace or refund what you have not returned?

there is nothing like they have alternate part numbers. I sent you the number. You knew and sent the wrong part. I called you several times, you didn't pick. How was i supposed to send back an item when you were not pickingnyour call. What address would i have used. Who would have picked it up if i sent it since you were not picking your calls. You are a fraudster. I'm not the only one you defrauded here. I checked you up.

Henix:
Pls post the screenshots for all to see. U have no reason to hide any dubious business man on this forum. Whenever u come in contact with dubious traders, don't hesitate to publish their banking details and phone numbers on this forum, with the full detail of what transpired between u and the person. This is to enable others see the information on the internet when running a background check on such person in future

i have posted it. He is feigning ignorance. I bought another sensor (fairly used) from Enugu. But its too long to fit in there. Despite calling him on phone and telling him what i needed, still went ahead to send part number, he sent me another vehicle's part cos i'm not in lagos. Since then, he stopped picking my calls. I just overlooked it cos of the amount involved. These are the crooks that make online business regrettable.

luvinhubby:
I do not have the faintest idea of what you are saying, specify the item, vehicle & year of the vehicle of the item you are referring to.

i will post screeshots here. I requested for abs wheel sensor for 2009 acura tl. Sent you part number. You claimed you had it. Sent you money, only to receive wheel sensor for honda accord with a different part number. Got back to you. You said you will call back. Next you started blanking me till date. Since december last year.

luvinhubby:
Please kindly specify the details of the scam here for everyone.

look at this insincere and irresponsible man. What are you trying to claim? Cos i let it slide? I specified the part number of the item i wanted. You claimed you had it. You clearly sent a totally different part number which of course didn't work. Since then refused to answer or pick your call when i reported to you. You said you will get back. Since then you refused picking or returning messages. I let it slide cos it's chicken change. But then, if you could be irresponsible with such a small amount, with bigger amount, you will be a full fledged thief.

Same with luvinhubby. Scammed me too.

You will thank him after his tenure. I can guarantee you that when buhari goes we might never see any project of this size again.

He's laying a foundation for sound logistics, that would have major impacts on the economy.

You guys think you can layer some fancy tech on bad infrastructure which is funny.

The borrowing is called leverage, it works with mortgages and the same principles can be applied to a country.

i wish i can give you 1 million likes. There are lots of stark ignorant youths. I'm afriad of the future these youths will offer.

And of course no one reads. The media men know that people don't read. So they use captivating but false headlines for all the gullibles who dont read. Caption says "summon". In the story, it says "invite". There is a huge difference.

Please my gear has issues going into drive.. I decided to replace the gearbox.
The Mechanic Said there are 3 types : Japan, Taiwan and Singapore.... I'm wondering if this is true.
I feel he wants to rip me off.
Please how do I get a good gear and what's the price?

and you think the problem is the gearbox? Have you checked the neutral switch sensor

NPA or EFCC, which of these pays best better?

Pharaoh4rin:
You know nothing about nigeria. Nigeria don't value what the get free. Besides since there's no protective custody in nigeria unlike south Africa or Egypt, I'd have to lay low as soon as I expose the good thieves. I ain't trading my freedom for free.

Whistleblow is real.

at this rate, you may be apprehended. Better delete that stuff you typed. If you know those sabotaging the development of Nigeria, report to appropriate authority and stop seeking inducement.

YoungBlackRico:
Bro we are Nigerians. You and I know how the scenario leading to his untimely death probably played out. These guys are on edge at the moment, on a normal day they no stable self talk of now.

The fact that they didn't abandon his corpse on the road and had to go through proper procedures with the police says a lot about what transpired. Besides he was shot driving away from the said check point...if they claim he refused to stop for the normal routine no one can contest that anywhere in the world. People have been killed for less by the US police.

That said, I am not justifying this and may his soul find peace.

the evidence that he defaulted at the checkpoint was already indirectly stated by the brother who said only the back windscreen was shot and shattered. All others were intact. Means he was shot from behind.

Very unfortunate incident. However, i read the whole story and something the brother said struck me. Only his back windscreen was shot and shattered. The front and side glasses were intact. This only goes to show he refused to stop at the checkpoint, so they opened fired after he passed. Most of us don't read. Quite unfortunate. In times like this, no need forming james bond. If soldiers or police stop you, stop. In fact avoid late nights as much as possible.
