nnamokenna: I am certain you don't have anyone in either America or Saudi Arabia. Keep listening to social media clout chasers. You probably didn't hear when the lady said the policeman asked the guy for his watch. Maybe extortion only involves money.
That was a joke, don't you know the meaning of extortion?
Some of you just talk but really have nothing to say.
Must everybody talk about everything you just stated, guy just take a chill pill and relax okay.
I just affirm my own opinion and thought on what i felt is wrong and if you cannot comprehend please move out. That's how we have ignored things that is bad and it's coming to bite us.
Didn't you hear when the lady said she was warned about nigeria and what she fears about nigeria actually happened to her,that is really a bad image to us. The little things you ignore now will hurt you tomorrow take note.
Black people complain of white policemen in Europe and America all day...you bloggers should go get a job, stop spreading nonsense...either that or its slave mentality, so because she is white, the police should not question her?
martinskelly: I bet you, you didn't even watch and listened carefully to the video to the end hence your vague response.
Look at the headline of the post...I am telling you the police have right to question them, regardless. In that case people should stop using misleading headlines...could have said, 'nigerian policeman banters with tourist'
martinskelly: The conversation the police had with them was unprofessional, how can a police be asking silly questions all in the name of doing their job; I bet you, a typical white policeman woud never hold such a degrading conversation as vague as what this nigerian policeman had with the tourist.
I feel for those tourist because it's so unfortunate that they had to go through this rigorous and lame pull up.
If you take a closer look at the policeman you would know that he almost asked them for bribe after asking them if what was on the back of the car was a camera because he felt definitely that there must be a camera and he doesn't want to trend hence the changing of the conversation to "pregnancy".
To all the Nigerian police in the house, kudos to you all for the tirelessly effort you all put into your work, but the government needs to keep on training police on effective work ethics and duty allotment/allocation especially police officers at checkpoints, on the road, at the stations and even government orderlies are also not exempted.
You people seem jobless, always fuming over unnecessary things. Focus on important things, jihadists terrorists, bad governance, police extortion which didn't happen here, stop focusing on nonsense.
I have no respect for suckers, governor position is too big for sycophancy.
Dislodge and eliminate jihadists terrorists, fulani herdsmen from the forests of Edo and the state as a whole, this is your cardinal job, these demons have killed a lot of Edo people.
You bloggers are clowns, everywhere in the world police questions people. Or police won't do their job because she is white?
Foreigners need to be scrutinized more.
Police can stop you for various reasons, as long as they don't extort you, let them do their job. Una go dey shout insecurity still discouraging police from doing checks. Confused people.
People can call themselves anything, some paedophiles call themselves clerics, some lazy conmen who see the pulpit as last bus stop to make a living call themselves pastors, don't take what people say, watch what they do, by their fruits you know them.
We must stop respecting people because they tag themselves pastors or imams, if they mess up or break the law, deal with them ruthlessly.
mrvitalis: I was in lekki for a few months believe u me the air quality was the poorest I have experienced
Not even port Harcourt when soot was a think was this bad
The smell? Funny thing the estate has lots of trees, but yet the smell was crazy
Are you sure it's not the drainage in front of the property where you stay or your environment? Lekki has lagoon that provides fresh breeze that cleanse the air.
lawani: You don't sound half baked but are actually half baked. Nigerians are not there to help Dangote pay his debts. He should be able to compete given that he got dollars at half rate and the refineries he is competing with are paying multiple times his wages. If he can't compete that will be because of his debts, he should sell the debts, sell the controlling stake in the refinery so that Nigerians will enjoy lower pms prices. I don't expect you to understand though
You are just sentimental, I don't engage sentimental people, their emotions becloud their ability to think critically.
Good one, we need more private refineries in Nigeria, this will create wealth for Nigerians, and boost our currency value, due to improved productivity.
lawani: If pms is selling in some middle income countries at around 400 then it can sell in a low income country in Nigeria for less but it can't happen when a 650,000 barrel per day refinery is owned by one man who is using huge debts at high interests to own it. I have always said Dangote should sell majority of the refinery to investors and like Elon Musk be a highly paid CEO.
If you say oil imports should be banned, then you want the cement sector to happen to the oil sector. We are not here to help Dangote pay debts. The most the government ought to do is to tariff importers not ban imports
You sound half baked, well, am speaking from the point of currency valuability, every Nigerian resident in Nigeria benefits when our currency (naira) appreciates...it makes no sense to import a product you have advantage on, it makes more sense to process here, benefit from the employments, local contracts and boosting of local productivity for export, to boost our balance of trade advantage. This is the crux, not talking politics am talking economics and numbers. In a free market economy the big can buy out the small. You Nigerians are always sentimental and myopic, this is your problem. We are talking of boosting naira value and creating more value for the economy, you are talking Dangote's debt, most business have debts even nations have debt.
Some got it wrong, Jesus didn't preach religiosity, he came to show us how to enter spirituality, by showing the fruits of the spirit, and being wise, discerning, and knowing when to act. Music is not your problem, it's a matter of choice, it's deeper than all these.
The northern people must protest against bokoharam and iswap, that have been killing them in their tens of thousands, not protesting over nonsense...or are they enjoying it?
I don't see the anger against bokoharam, iswap and the evil sahelian militia massacring them.
The story of Jesus is really inspiring, among all the prophets he had the most profound story and left lessons and messages that can bring peace to the world, compared to other prophets...even though some Christians are phony and some men of the pulpit are cunning, remember, these people claim the religion but are not the faith, the following, they claim it...but "by thy fruits you know them"
It's up to you to use discernment to know the real from the fake...by the fruits... Jesus said this too...i also think Jesus was not preaching religion, he was preaching righteousness, truth and equity.
Work in dignity in your state of birth, Lagos is over populated, that is why things are getting more expensive. Stay in your states, Lagos is congested.
This is the risk of letting terrorists mingle around you, this is the risk of seeing jihadists territorists killers as your brothers, this is the risk of releasing terrorists jihadists killers, when they have local support they get leverage. This is sad. The north needs enlightenment.
Edo state government, your vigilante squad should be everywhere, at least employ 200,000 Edo state indigenes to protect the forests and all areas of the state.
I agree, reduce buying of imported goods, if we all have lifestyle adjustment, and invest in production in Nigeria, it will come down even below N500. Its really mental slavery, believing the dollar is a better currency than naira, wanting to spend dollars in Nigeria, is indeed mental slavery.
A valuable naira is your way to wealth... imagine what N1million naira will do if naira gains value to N200/dollar... Mercedes, brand new cars will be affordable to all.
