Ok then. Good morning. Believe it or not, I simply couldn't understand his post and while we are at it, this country failed Anthony Joshua and friends. Let's chat more later.

+
But how. I would like to know. Seriously. Jibes aside.

If you are talking about emergency reaction, pls say so. We can speak to that.

Why are you suddenly polite good Doc.

DrAda:
I don't have to show anything hence my sarcastic reply to his comment which apparently triggered some words I couldn't decipher. This is becoming too juvenile for me to engage in ..when you are done translating, let me know

+
Oh yes you do.

You clearly said Nigeria failed Joshua. How, you can't say. You start escapism. Abeg shift and go and sit down wella. We can see your lack of logic miles away.

DrAda:
I couldn't understand his post. If you can translate, that would be helpful

+
The translation is this:

Speaking without thinking is a problem.

Comprehended, good Doc?

I will add my own.

Pretending not to understand pidgin English as an insult when bested by logic is dim.

Good morning.

Lanretoye:
Some fuulish people will still blame Nigerian government for tyre burst the way they blame the government for overspending of Joshua's car

+
I tire for dem.

Xxxxxxxxxx

MightySparrow:
A principality of a lawyer has been hired against the palace.

+
Abeg which principality is that?

post=137953527:
We think you may be right.
We have been trying to figure out what the sitting arrangements could have been.
Now, you make sense a lot
We believed that was how they actually sitted in the vehicle.
What a very sad incident.

+
My eye dey pain me or who I dey see here? Wetin happen to you for long? Suya problems?

KnownUnknown:
Hey man. I dey kampe!
The interstates should have ambulances even before residential areas due to the traffic, road conditions, and distance to hospitals. On remote American roads, there are ambulances.

+
I know, my point is, on such highways, reaction is still likely to be well delayed. Especially if its really far from an urban area (which in this case I dont really think it was too far from to be fair to you).

I don miss your yabbis on my psuedo philosophical/ theological debates oh.

JakJay:
Nigeria did not happen to him. Let's put the blame where it actually should be. The driver drove recklessly. Where the government should be blamed is leaving a broken down vehicle on the same spot for more than 24 hours.

+
Exactly. Even if we must also admit that the presence of that vehicle in itself was not the defining point. Because it could be there for even fifteen minutes and a reckless driver could run into it. Anyone who drives knows that running into a stationary vehicle at high speed while overtaking calls into question the driver and his driving.

JASONjnr:
You've been so blinded by hateed that you blame the president just to stay relevant.....

You are really losing it......

+
I think he just might have been referring to the Minister of Power. Not sure but I think so.

DrAda:
English please

+
Lol. After he showed you were talking nonsense, you are asking for Cantonese.

tgmservice:
Is having stationary trucks on the highway normal?

+
It happens all the time everywhere in the world. If a truck breaks down, it may take some time to tow away and the accident could happen in that window.

Look - two things - do you drive? If you do, you surely know that to run into a stationary vehicle in broad day light while overtaking at speed, there must be an element of serious reckless driving.

ceejayluv:
From lekki to sagamu?

+
I tire for them oh.

DrAda:
I can't say. Anthony and friends were not in a chopper

+
Still, you have to show how the country failed him precisely. Because this was not caused by bad roads.

Wotowotoman:
Did the US fail Wigwe when Wigwe’s chopper crashed in the almighty US? 🤔

+
Thank you.
Or Kobe Bryant's.

Nnamdipapa:
You have no kidnap value my friend. Jakumo was right, AJ should have used and helicopter and pay a driver to bring his flashy SUV. He could have even chartered a private plane for Chrissake.

+
Helicopter to Sagamu? Haba.
You people make sound as though helicopters dont crash even abroad not to speak of here, secondly the Dangote's of this world drive down that road all the time.

KnownUnknown:
The ambulance situation is so embarrassing. They had to move an injured person, without medical personnel, into a fucking SUV!!

+
Long time, Mr. Man.
How you dey.

Well, sad as it is, let us bear in mind that that was an inter-state high way and along such high ways you cannot really expect the same emergency reaction you would expect within an urban area. Even in a developed country such as the US there are interstate highways where emergency reaction will be well delayed.

Before you bite my neck, I am not saying there should not have been suitable emergency frameworks in place oh.

Yong4ever:
No emergency response, no ambulance, in such a deadly situation, this is a disgrace!!!

JASONjnr:
Same way you accuse everyone supporting Tinubu to be a Yoruba.....

+
Where?

APOPTOSIS:
I have said it countless times that Military regime was never this grossly incompetent.
Even as bad as Abacha was, he would never have tolerated all these embarrassment.
We all witnessed them.

+
They will not try it with any military government.

Kukutente23:
You're here pontificating on grace and simplicity but your comment below on this very thread is nothing short of notice me and oversabi. I knew it but I didn't say it. Who asked you? Itibolibo

I wonder how Toyin Abrahams missed you for her latest movie. You'll fit the bill for the uncle effortlessly. It's second nature

+
Aburo.

Relax. Take a chill pill.

Julibet:
We're going into 2026 - 66 years with no plans to improve power. Soon Nigeria would be 70 years still celebrating darkness

+
This power problem is not going to be solved in the next two generations. It's gonna take at least a century.

themanderon:
All the so called trillions they saved in subsidy cannot be channelled into stabilizing power.

+
Anybody familiar with Nigeria would have known from the beginning that monies saved from the subsidy removal would only be vigorously wacked.

LordReed:
Thank you. Corrected it.

+
Kukutente23 - observe and learn - grace, and simplicity.
From someone ten times the man you are.

LordReed:
Thank you. Corrected it.

Even though I have long known of this, I am partial to leaving people to freely pronounce as they see fit especially where the spelling lends itself to the pronunciation they choose and in light of the fact that English is a foreign language to most people in this part of the world.

No Frenchman for example goes about telling an Englishman that the correct pronunciation for Paris is Pari. This little example goes to show that language is dynamic and malleable and people are in fact entitled to mold it to suit themselves - and this is why we have many distinctions between written and spoken British English and American English. The Americans spoke and wrote it as they felt comfortable and it became standard, accepted and right for them.

Left to me, I would change the spelling of something like "Elephant" to "Elifant" for example, and remove letters which are silent in the pronunciation of certain words such as the "p" in psychology and the "b" in debt.

Jakumo:
. . .of which many were sent to paradise on Christmas day 2025.

+
I am beginning to feel as though I am pestering you on this matter and will honestly henceforth try to desist.

But honestly, it's not helpful to make claims such as this, which neither government involved has.

Countersam:
We are yet to see dead bodies till now. Nigeria....

+
Isnt it comical?

Jakumo:
Of course Uncle Sam must recoup his gigantic cash outlay in the form of favorable pricing when purchasing Nigeria's highly prized Bonny Light crude petroleum oil, but then, there can be no more patriotic an application of a nation's resources, than to cover the cost of security for its citizens AND for visiting foreign investors.

Nigeria's petroleum crude oil exports, most recently quantified as 1.5 million barrels daily in December 2024, and priced at $77 per barrel that year, translates to a hard currency export earning of $117 million USD per day that is THEORETICALLY paid into Nigeria's federal coffers.

With this magnitude of hard currency income stream accruing on a daily basis, Nigeria can easily afford to set aside a few days worth of oil export proceeds as its anti-terror war-chest from which the US Department of War can be reimbursed to cover at least part of the dollar price tag of all missiles that are devoted to eradicating Islamist terrorists and other destructive vermin from Nigerian soil.

+
Only in a puritan and ideal universe.

JASONjnr:
If they support Peter Obi, it means they're reasonable and patriotic Nigerians? Lol....

Hypocrite!!!

+
Where have you seen me say anything that suggests I am rooting for Obi. Why are you people so obsessed with that man? Why didn't you stop to think of I am an Atiku supporter for example?

Eriokanmi:
We will reject that.

+
Don't you think this is unreasonable. Have you ever heard of the conceopt of stooping to conquer? BAT waited for Buhari for 8 years to achieve his own goal. Why on Earth can a younger PO not wait. Its strategy.

Especially if he can get a written and signed and public commitment of Atiku to do one term.

PS: I seem to recall you are a hard core BATist or am I mistaken?

Jakumo:
No nation or corporate entity can walk away from such a massive investment without ensuring that tangible returns are recorded in the form of verifiable damage inflicted, and enemy combatants permanently demilitarized.

+
I feel the tangible returns will be elsewhere.

In the ego boosting of Trump and in back door electoral, oil and mineral deals.
