The problem is you are just short sighted you don't look at the long-run scenario. I know many people that are working and with time they climb up to the top hierarchy and so their salary increased.

Muhamdson, Dru and so many others cannot say the same about Ehailing

TIME they say, is the most EXPENSIVE commodity in the entire UNIVERSE

It’s so selfish that it waits for NO MAN

Make hay . . .

iamme1234:

Useless set of igbos morons.

It is spare not spear go school you nor go gree. Na to dey kill people dey use their body parts for rituals una sabi well well

Going round in circles.

IT SHOULD BE EASY TO PROCDUCE A DOCUMENT THAT STATES HE WAS PRONOUNCED GUILTY.

I can produce a document that instructed him to forfeit the money in his account, does that not stand as one that makes him guilty?

I told you to explain to me in simple terms how he wasn’t guilty but you’re sidestepping my question, why?

amliftedhigher:
Ask yourself this question, Can I handover my business to a drug addict?

Investigations are still ongoing but be rest assured that the only name that will be published is the igbo man’s own

GavelSlam:
Can you show us where he or even compass finance were found GUILTY?

MUST BE EASY.

If tinubu or compass weren’t involved in/guilty of any drug related criminal offence in the United States then why were either tinubu or compass (a company he owns) mandated to relinquish the sum of over $400k (found in their bank account) to the authorities?

Please explain it to me as if I’m just enrolling into kindergarten

Painsoother:
The hate for Igbos accross the country is just so obvious and evident from the constant selective media reports, shielding their constant human organs dismemberment from the media

They own the media space so they must naturally shield their own people from scrutiny and shame

GavelSlam:
Because he was never under trial.
He was required to forfeit funds because he ran a financial institution

An institution that was proven to be involved in the business of illicit and controlled drugs right?

GavelSlam:
Patience Jonathan was the one on trial.

The bank forfeits.

Others were on trial, compass finance run by Tinubu had to forfeit

In fact, it was in the transcript that some other funds be retained by Tinubu.

So the company established and run by tinubu himself had to forfeit BUT tinubu was innocent?

Is there any way a company will be liable for a crime but the owner won’t be held accountable? Even when the particular company where the monies were forfeited was owned and operated by tinubu himself?

anonimi:
Proceeds of a crime, because he is a criminal

Shhhhh leave him to keep on spinning this issue around. I want to see where he will finally land.

GavelSlam:
Because like any financial institution, you forfeit what has been found to be proceeds of a crime.

We aren't going around this again, surely?

When Patience Jonathan forfeited money, it was the bank that was mandated to ensure such monies were vacated.

No oh, we are not going around anything. I am just trying to understand how that drug case was handled and why you believe tinubu didn’t have any single knowledge of the crime he was arrested for.

You are now comparing patience Jonathan’s fraud/embezzlement case to Tinubu’s criminal drug case? Is that the technicality that tinubu used in getting off doing time in the usa for drug dealing?

So proceeds from criminal drug related business magically ended up in Tinubu’s bank account and proceeds from fraud and embezzlement magically ended up in Patience Jonathan’s bank account so therefore they were both innocent of the charges in the court of law abi?

I like bmw’s look and stance

But you see that their orange/red light instrument cluster backlight ehn . . . IT IS A TOTAL TURNOFF FOR ME and the highest dealbreaker.

I hope they have stopped doing such on their newer models if not I’d never ever dream of owning a bmw vehicle

GavelSlam:
He was NOT GUILTY because he never even had to take a plea.

No court trial was undertaken.

No conviction was rendered.

NOTHING.

Okay fine so answer me this . . .

Since tinubu was innocent of the charges against him, why did the court direct the government to confiscate his money in the account he runs with that bank?

GavelSlam:
If it was a plea bargain it would be CLEARLY STATED.

Nothing in Judiciary is done under the table.

WHERE IS IT?

Okay so you’re trying to tell me that tinubu was not guilty of mingling with a drug syndicate in the United States and due to the fact that he wasn’t guilty he decided to forfeit his over $400,000 to the government as a show of what?

Remember that $400k in todays money is over N200 million naira oh that he just dashed their government for no reason according to you?

Painsoother:
. To buttress that, those drugs are still being prescribed for the cure of ailments which justifies its production and distribution, bad though that some persons resorted to abusing it Unlike the human organs dismemberment these KNOWN carnibalistic hypocrites are famous for, evil of the highest order without justification from any point of view.

That’s the thing, it’s very sad seeing the way hypocritical Nigerians tend to hate on the igbo tribe for reasons best known to them. Drugs are controlled substances that can very easily be abused and lead to illnesses and death I know, but these yorubas will catch you and be slicing your body parts off one by one while you’re still alive to use your organs and blood for sacrifices and they feel murder is better than drug dealing

Just catch any of them and put a drum of weed on one side and a drum of cutlass and a human being on the other side and tell them to choose one vice and you’d see that they will immediately rush to grab the weed drum to open shop and start selling

Well . . . Let me not conclude ?? some people can be psychotic and deranged at times

luluman:
Please can you provide evidence to back your claim?

Don’t mind that fellow. He’s a troll

GavelSlam:
What was he found GUILTY of?

Where was the Jury?

There was none?

What was the criminal charge read to him?

These are easy to underline from any transcript if it were true.

If he wasn’t guilty then why did he forfeit his own personal account and the monies contained there in to the government of the United States of America?

Was it because he made a plea bargain or what?

GavelSlam:
Are you saying in the US, when a drug trial is done they do is forfeit and you can go on your merry way?

Stop trying to shift the goal post

Tinubu went to usa, used his own two legs to go into a bank and open a checking account in his own name or company name (he was the sole signatory) , he did his business and made steady deposits and withdrawals to and from that same account, the authorities later arrested him and took him to trial for a drug related offense, after all said and done the authorities let him go off the hook BUT decided to seize and confiscate the total amount of funds in that his checking account with that bank . . .

Then now you turn around to tell me that he was not guilty and the money in his own bank account actually belonged to his bank and not to him?

I’d go with government work, federal preferably.

The current Banking industry in Nigeria doesn’t guarantee job security for its employees

GavelSlam:
He never forfeited HIS money.

He ran a financial institution.

When you find money relating to crime in Fidelity Bank, you don't hold Obi responsible for the crime.

The bank forfeits the money.

And that is that.

If the authorities found him GUILTY, he would be held accountable by serving time.

Wait oh, let me get you straight. . . So you’re trying to tell me that the money they found in TINUBU’S PERSONAL ACCOUNT with that bank in America didn’t belong to him BUT TO THE BANK in question and the bank decided to forfeit it to the government TOTALLY AT THEIR OWN LOSS? so the bank deposited those monies in tinubu’s own personal account unto safe keeping or what?

kanuisagoat:
I don laugh tire. This guy is so far from reality and is living in dreamland.

You mean someone will work in the office from 7am to 5pm, he will still drive between 5 and 9pm and make a net of 10k in that time frame. . He will also do it consistently for 30 days a month. Hahahaha

Let's leave that one first. Someone drives from 5am to 10pm (17 hours) and makes 30k net according to you but someone who drives 4 hours will between 5 and 9pm will make 10k net. You need to collect your change from your maths teacher.

You say the salary earner can get laid off at any time, very true but what happens if the salary earner and bolt driver fall sick. Most standard organizations will continue to pay his salary for 6 months at least while the bolt driver will be left to his own fate.

I also like how you mentioned that most people start from low paying jobs but conveniently forgot to mention that most drivers also don't sart out with their own vehicles.

I'm really curious though, ehaling is this sweet and can give you a savings of 500k monthly. Why have you not resigned your job to drive on ehaling

See you I was even generous in saying the worker will earn that N10k after working hours till he goes home lol , so if we’re being realistic he will earn circa N5k abi? Isn’t it even a worse scenario than I initially painted?

True most drivers don’t start out with their own vehicles, they are the exception. I was generally speaking of someone with a vehicle in my example above.

About falling sick yes that’s true too, everyone needs down time and even official leave (vacations) which the e hailing driver has no luxury of BUT the savings he had made for the months he was actively on duty should be able to cover for it. How many jobs can even allow you to be ill for up to a month at a stretch and still retain you? Except you’re pregnant or have some rare disease I don’t see how it’s possible especially if you’re an entry staff.

I'm really curious though, ehaling is this sweet and can give you a savings of 500k monthly. Why have you not resigned your job to drive on ehaling

Maybe it’s simply because I’m chopping salary of N500k and above OR I cannot come and be moving the whole of Lagos upandan Choose one

Although I’m looking towards December dashboard here . . . It will be another opportunity to piissssss

GavelSlam:
Anybody can br tried.

Was he convicted?

If so, can you just show a snippet of the judgement wherein the defendant was found guilty or pled guilty.

If he was truly innocent then why did he then willingly choose to forfeit his money because of that same drug related criminal trial?

GavelSlam:
The biggest worry now is how you would educate the stupid but 'woke' S'westerners who think hating their own representatives is being hip.

Oh, you want them to love their own representative who was arrested and publicly tried in a court of law in the usa for the same drug related crime?

Hmmm . . . Na wah oh

Rexnegro:
There is something I don't understand and don't think I will ever understand.... Must most Nigeria youths from Eastern part carry or do drugs in abroad ? I mean isn't there any legitimate businesses to do in abroad ? Why this get rich quick behaviour from most Igbo youths ehn? Bad thing is the next one is seeing this news but believe me he won't retract his mind from trying it. I don't just understand honestly chai smh

I’ve checked through you posts history but I’ve never seen where you condemned yorubas for ritualistic murders like you’re doing here on this thread before

I hope when next their news graces the front page you’d do the same as you did here if not . . .

Don’t be a hypocrite

Yoighaman:
Today, you are all happy and insulting the Igbos because of this man; don't cry like a baby tomorrow, when they too start calling the Yorubas, skull miners, because of one unfortunate fellow.

Let's stop all this tribalism.

That’s the issue. Today they have caught an igbo man for selling drugs

Tomorrow they will still catch a yoruba man for killing and rituals

Next tomorrow they will then catch a notherner for terrorism and banditry

Nigeria is a caricature of a country

FireUpNow:
This is one f the reasons I don't really trust any Igbo man doing business or rich, those guys are not clean, they will only use the business as a cover ups

What of yorubas involved in human rituals? Do you now trust those ones?

Or notherners involved in banditry and kidnappings? Are those ones now the holy grail for you?

There are bad and good people in every race, tribe or ethnicity. Stop generalizations

richeeyo:
Yes but am mostly concerned about the international level, inside here is already a jungle

Yes I myself am deeply troubled about the drug trade my people actively participate in. It makes me sad anytime I see these type of news in the tabloids

BAZ001:
God will bless cornner44 for me, even though I want Mohammedson to deal with him on behalf of me and Dru…

Shhhh

bazoo na wah you oh, small - small dey mention me with that terrorist naw

abeg, I nor want make person halla ’Allah u ak BOOM ‘ ontop my head for here oh

CheerfulGiver:
And that was when he was actively waking up by 4am daily, getting home 12am driving on the same ehailing instead of looking for a 100k per month job. If I insult people, it's always for a reason.

I have been vindicated.

My brother don’t mind them. They think every job is the same. As a new employee, with below 3 years experience unless you’re into oil firms, politics or Infotech and working for an overseas coy you can’t earn the type of cash that e hailing gives you.

True getting a job is good but before you start achieving you must have worked for some amount of years and taking extra courses first to climb the career ladder. I know people in the banking industry that have worked for donkey years yet earn peanuts with the hope that once they retire they will receive gratuity. Even government workers don’t earn that much but hope for pensions and bonuses.

You drive on inDriver and make approximately N30k every single day, if you keep it up for one month that’s at least N500k in your bank as savings and this is as someone who has no prior job experience or taking extra career courses or calling someone ‘yes sir’ as a servant

I know someone who just landed a job in the IT department of a new generation bank and his total pay is approximately N400k (without subtracting tax, loans etc). This person will buy food for his family, fuel for gen, pay monthly utility bills and other personal overhead like data subscriptions, groceries, laundry etc even before he can start looking to save for rent, kids school fees, vehicle purchase, landed property, family and friends emergency monetary help, medical bills etc. and the worst is that due to the economic situation of the country and it’s draconian policies you can get laid off or retrenched at any time

My brother . . . Which is now the rat race between e hailing and an entry job in Nigeria?

Asides from unforeseen incidents in ehailing like Lastma/task force impounding your vehicle, accidents, periodic maintenance or license renewal what else is stopping you from making that money on the road ?

Let’s say you just graduated, found a job in a bank, they are paying you N250k a month after taxes, you then decide to park you car in the company garage from 7am till 5pm all because someone tells you that it’s better to have a salaried job than drive on ehailing full time , you then close from work and say you will still drive a little after working till like 9pm before heading home and make an extra N10k or thereabouts from it to add to your salary daily.

N10k in 30 days is N300k plus your salary of N250k = N550k (before tax). Now start subtracting your overhead as I mentioned above (feeding, maintenance, savings etc) and how much are you then left with? meanwhile the person who graduated and used his vehicle strictly for e hailing full time has already saved N500k after all expenses

You who is working and driving will struggle for years on the job to progressively clinch promotions to increase your basic salary (an increase of less than N50k at most per promotion) while the guy driving manages to make the same approximate pay month-in and out and is able to purchase his new cars in a few months, pay his rent in a few months, buy his lands in a few months, start building in a few months etc so far his health and zeal on the road allows for it

See, the only people I know who will never work at a job and consider driving part time on ehailing (if they had the opportunity) are those who earn roughly N500k and above OR they just don’t fancy moving the whole of Lagos upandan.

I’m not advocating for people to resign from their jobs oh, I’m just pointing out some scenarios that are in line with reality. Do what works for you and try to make hay while the sun shines.

Impulse80:
Na E-hailing give you part of the money wey you use go abroad, no lie. I remember you saying that people earning 100k per month are better than drivers on E-hailing platforms.

Be honest with people my nigga.

Shhhhhh who talk say ehailing give am one naira?

Weren’t you not here when he was selling all his household properties one by one with his other moniker to take and complete his money for japa?

The only money ehailing was giving him was chop money

sunnnnyuu:
Igbos are the destroyers of this country everywhere you get drugs crimes they are responsible.

Northerners are destroyers of this country everywhere you get banditry, kidnappings, jihad and terrorism they are responsible

click2stan:
Their Hypocrisy and hatred is so worrisome.

You will never see them comment on a trend like this

No naw, lie lie do you want them to open their own nyash?

richeeyo:
Sure they are but you people are really getting out of hand

You mean concerning the sale of illicit drugs?
