Foreign Affairs › Re: Burkina Faso Coup Leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré Extends Military Rule By 5 Years by dc23(m): 5:40pm On May 26, 2024
Not sure he would make those 5yrs. A coup definitely would happen and then they accuse him of corruption and selling out to the Russians and Chinese.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia Is Building Africa's Largest Solar Plant In Mali (Photos) by dc23(m): 8:49pm On May 25, 2024
I hope those drooling over Putin here realize the plant isn't for free. The Malians would be paying serious money for it. I have a feeling a Chinese company would have been cheaper and bigger.
Politics › Re: FG Deploys E-Surveillance System Against Cross Border Banditry by dc23(m): 12:04pm On May 24, 2024
Ordinary CCTV inside town isn't working talk less surveillance on remote borders. This is just a ploy to steal money from a useless contract.

Left her phone? Clearly she doesn't want to be found. She is gone incognito.

Wow, so Xi is much taller than Putin?? Interesting

Simple.

Either I don't do social media or

I give them Myspace account handle.
Politics › Re: NASS Proposes 3-Year Post-Office Ban On Political Activities For CBN Governors by dc23(m): 9:40pm On May 14, 2024
Useless law that the supreme court would strike down without wasting time.

You can't curtail rights enshrined in the constitution with a mere law. Party activity is governance activity and anybody that votes can be voted for provided the conditions set out in the constitution are met.
Celebrities › Re: 43% Nigerian Meghan Has Declared 'Nigeria Her Country' by dc23(m): 1:25pm On May 14, 2024
The reality is if you did DNA on a national level you would find that most of the ethnic groups are linked. It was custom to pick women of defeated towns as wives. If the attackers were say Fulani and they conquered a Yoruba village and took their women, the offspring would identify today as Fulani but in reality carry Yoruba genes.

If 80 percent of your clients are yahoo boys then you best be loyal to them sha. Afterall they are the ones paying your salary by maintaining accounts with the bank. Who EFCC epp
Politics › Re: How Sirika Used His Position To Award Contracts To Family Members by dc23(m): 6:15pm On May 10, 2024
Were the contracts actually executed? If YES I don't see the problem except the EFCC can prove that it would have been done cheaper by another company
Politics › Re: Relocation Of Destitute To Home States ‘ll Continue – Lagos Govt by dc23(m): 7:07am On May 09, 2024
I dare them to deport an Almajiri, Hausa or Fulani and let's see.

Besides hell breaking loose, are they gonna drive them by bus up North at the risk of kidnapping?

But one tribal guy that 10% of his property was not affected was making noise unnecessarily
The remaining buildings become useless once access to the beach front is restricted. The place operated primarily as a beach if I am not mistaken.

Even after you get the drug you are looking for, there is no telling if it isn't counterfeit.
Crime › Re: The Origin Of The Ban On Spraying. by dc23(m): 3:20pm On Apr 17, 2024
Spraying money is a culture.

To avoid wahala just get yourself

Dollar
Cedi
CFA

And spray away without any fear.
Celebrities › Re: Who Advised You To Plead Guilty – Aisha Yesufu Queries Bobrisky by dc23(m): 10:07am On Apr 13, 2024
I agree with here. I watched the video and the naira notes looked very crisp and not mutilated. The EFCC needed to present evidence of the mutilation.

Doing something that can result in mutilation doesn't necessarily amount to actual mutilation. Bobrisky should get a better lawyer and appeal.
Business › Re: Binance Confirms Working With Tinubu Govt To Block Dollar-naira Exchange by dc23(m): 1:24pm On Feb 22, 2024
The exchange isn't direct. First the rate to the dollar is established and then used as a rule to other currencies. Even if you wanted to change naira to cedi the dollar equivalence is still what you get.
Celebrities › Re: Portable Attacked In His House In Lagos (Photos, Video) by dc23(m): 10:53am On Jan 22, 2024
Seriously, is this what appears on the Police Medical Form or Zazu faked it?

Food › Re: What Is Your Favourite Nigerian Native Dish? (pictures) by dc23(m): 12:47am On Dec 02, 2023
Take note that Cassava was introduced from Brazil to Africa or West Africa by the Portuguese. That means no cassava meal can be classified as NATIVE
Education › Re: Madonna University Student Expelled For Joining 'Ceiling Challenge' (Video) by dc23(m): 8:11pm On Nov 10, 2023
Very easy lawsuit would make her some millions and get her readmitted with an apology from the University.

Such a condition for expelling her could never be allowed in an university statutes
Foreign Affairs › Re: Israeli Tanks Surround 3 Gaza Hospitals (Video, Photos) by dc23(m): 2:59pm On Nov 10, 2023
Good observation. But then think through it and then it is problematic. If missiles are still been fired, I would expect that the firing point is tracked. Those missiles ate huge and definitely not been fired from a hospital or building. They are fired from open space. The fact it is still happening raises questions about so called fighters in civillian infrastructure.

HAMAS members who aren't actually on the ground fighting would always evacuate when an order is given to evacuate so at the end of the day it is pointless because the cycle never ends and IDF can't get them really short of an actual ground attack

emeejinsm:

While we're clamoring for Israel to stop pounding Gaza, are you also aware that rockets and missiles are up toll now still being fired into Israel
Celebrities › Re: Sandra Okon Bassey Marks Birthday With Stunning Photos by dc23(m): 9:26am On Nov 10, 2023
Nothing to see here. Beauty queens are only the nice ones amongst those that had nothing doing with their time and signed up to contest. The more beautiful ones are out there and don't need to compete, when they step out the looks they get is enough to confam
Food › Re: Enugu Amala Hangout Causes Controversy On Twitter by dc23(m): 9:22am On Nov 10, 2023
Hmm, maybe it's worth noting that Yams have been around long in West Africa however, Cassava was introduced to Africa by the Portuguese. Before that no tribe prepared any cassava derived foods. It's safe to say Amala was very likely prepared and eaten by Igbos since only yams existed before the Portuguese arrived

Performing rituals isn't a crime. African traditional religious practice is recognized by law

Someone was caught performing rituals birthing with blood

You convict only the people that exposed him as whitsblower

And

Refuse to Jail the ritualist

Crime › Re: Lifeless Body Of A 14-year-old Boy Found Hanging In Calabar (Graphic Photos) by dc23(m): 2:14pm On Oct 29, 2023
That rope is too small to hold him. But assuming it's high tensile then you would expect the rope to cut his neck or slaughter him, then there would be blood.

Secondly, most suicide at low heights would have the person holding their neck to free the rope at the last minutes.

But this height he is hanging I think the suicide is staged

Politics › Re: UAE, Nigerian Officials Finalising Agreements On Visa Ban Lift – Ngelale by dc23(m): 12:54pm On Sep 12, 2023
Reason Buhari didn't care was because he has sense, a sensible person would realise that the UAE is the one losing out in tourist revenue not Nigeria. Frequent travel by Nigerians to the UAE stresses the exchange rate.

Now tell me, what benefits accrue to Nigeria if the spat is resolved? None absolutely. So why is Nigeria taking the lead to resolve the matter? Is it simply important to Nigeran politicians because that is where most of them go to spend stolen public monies??
Foreign Affairs › Re: Dollar Dumped? India Bought 1m Barrels Of Oil From UAE Using Rupees Instead Of $ by dc23(m): 4:24pm On Aug 27, 2023
They are funny sha. The point is irrespective of currency used you can only establish the value of what you are being offered by comparing it to the dollar, pound or Euro. Which still has the effect of using the dollar. Now what would the UAE do with the rupees if not buying something else from India? They can't pack the rupees to go shop in china or Russia because these countries hardly buy anything from UAE or India.
Politics › Re: Nigerian Senator Vs Minister: Who Is Higher? by dc23(m): 10:26pm On Aug 17, 2023
A minister is a representative of the president who heads the executive branch. A senator duty is simply to vet projects of the president which in most cases is brought in by a minister. Similarly, even supreme court judges are vetted by senators because that's the law. The same law makes it clear all the arms of government are equal except for the president of course.

In short, a Minister comes in the name of the president so has more power to do stuff but a senator can only talk and vote. Been a minister is definitely an upgrade
Politics › Re: PEPT: Why Did Wole Olanipekun Ignore Osun Ruling To Quote Shagari Ruling Of 1979 by dc23(m): 7:29pm On Jul 16, 2023
Your logic is defective. Nigeria practices the common law system. It means a high court decision at any level that remains unchallenged is valid law in itself.

If you were killed in a village the killers punishment won't be any different from a killer in Lagos or Abuja. The same logic follows in the right to representation and to represent.
Travel › Re: The Lagos Train / Bus Crash Was Avoidable - Peter Obi by dc23(m): 12:02am On Mar 10, 2023
There is a lot government can do then. You seem to have listed all the possible problems that could have culminated in the accident.

If deserving professional drivers and not touts are employed there would be less of these problems. This is no ordinary road crash we can blame on force majeure.


zed7:
How? People should stop making statements just to score political points.

Obi is my man but let's be real. Can you control a stubborn or drunk driver? These BRT bus drivers drive like they own the road. Same applies to container carrier drivers and all those lorry drivers.
They just want to oppress and intimidate others with smaller vehicles.

There is a limit to what the government can do, we as individuals should learn to do better.
