My own question is where is the Alternative route from Obalende - Yaba?

Obalende- Adeniji- Carter bridge - Oyingbo- M/M way- Yaba

Wolgrace:
Rambo is a name given by a terror group of criminals, it means "dangerous, deadly, brutal, etc." They were about 9 or so, but all dead except this new convert formerly known as shina by birth, hence the name "shina rambo." He was the deadly group leader with mysterious powers. He even iniated Anini to his coven of initiates but messed up.

As a kid in early 90s, there was a fairy tale-looking story I used to hear about him on how huge, gigantic and tall he was with "shakabula" weapons around his muscular shoulder and arms, likened him like an action movie icon known as commando. IT IS REAL!

He's tall, pompous, and huge with muscular arms. He came to my mum's church camp ground to minister to the crowd. His stories are scary and deadly.

I wish to say more but thank God for his soul.

Please google Olusegun Raji aka Okuta and learn more.

majamajic:
Seriously I don't know about that

Kabba, Ijumu, Egbe, Mopa etc in Kogi State are inhabited by Yorubas.

Well, what I saw is a tale of two governors being controlled by the godfathers who brought them into power, whereby the first one rolls over and surrenders while the other fights for his life.

How do you mean when you say the situations are different?

In the case of Lagos, the godfather had to defer to the "stakeholders". It wasn't the decision of only one man. Sadly, Ambode stepped on too many toes who humbly waited to exert their pound of flesh. He also lost some support from the masses when instead of campaigning based on performance, he was busy denigrating Sanwoolu as a mad man. He forgot that the man was a top shot in his administration! All that coupled with the mess Lagos environment was in and his wife being labelled arrogant.

In Fasholas era, Lagosians/stakeholders insisted that he must be allowed to run for the 2nd term. Godfather bowed to the will of the people against his wish. He didn't have a choice.

Really, the Lagos situation is a bit more complex than most people understand. Even the presumed godfather said on live TV that Ambodes matter was beyond him because he couldn't afford to lose the support of the people.

Sad one!

slyfoxxjoe:
Money wins again. He intimidated her with police and had access to better lawyers due to his wealth. The poor girl realized she didn’t stand a chance so she withdrew the case hoping to just forget the matter.

But this mans ego is so big and his heart so dark he just can’t let it go. He wants to finish her off. Sad.

Have you read the report of the guy who brought Seyitan to the show and who collected the room keys? There's a lot of doubts raised on this issue. The truth lies between them and God. Best for us not to judge.

Ninobraw:
I am a guy of 29 years old and she's 24 years old. She is a nurse and she is working and earning good salary. We have been dating for the past 3 years, ever since she came into my life things have been moving forward. Between the space of three years I was able to buy a land and build two flat (almost completed) and also buy a nice car. All this was possible because she was in my life. She assisted me with the money she accumulated before she met me, (2 million naira) gave it to me to add it to the money I was using to build the house, she has really been the best thing that has happened to me. We both have never cheated on each other, I'm very happy having her in my life. During the period of covid 19 my business was shut down totally she was the one that sustained me Althrough and never complained.

She later resigned from her nursing work and started her own chemist shop, I supported her with 300k she rejected it and asked me to add it to the money for house project. She is making some good money from her store any way.

Now we plan to do our marriage by December and I budgeted more than 1 million naira.
the problem is that she insisted that it is too much that I should not spend more than 500k that's been a problem to us but later settle it. because she won't just listen to me she wants me to spend less than that the reason why I wanted to spend more than 1 million Naira was because she deserves it.

So because of that we adjusted the marriage to three months time since it's just 500k I am spending now my question is can I spend 500k for a moderate marriage? And I wanted to do something tangible for her because she deserve more than everything I have, please what other things can I do for her that will be equivalent to everything she has done for me.

Since we have been dating she has never asked me for big money and also when ever I give her she always tells me that she gat money that no need to give her, in fact she love me so much that she don't even accept money from me unless gift. Now I want to do something tangible for her because since I have been dating her she doesn't allow me spent on her that much, and she doesn't complain.

Be a good husband to her above everything else. That's more important than any material thing. Still, the next house you both build should be in her name. ..that's if the one you currently have is in your name alone. Make her comfortable with all she requires to make home management easier. Also jointly plan ahead for your kids assuming you plan to have some. It will make her happy. A sensible woman isn't after only shoes, bags, hair and clothes to slay. The real slay mamas excel in their careers and the home front.

It's okay to have fun on your wedding day but remember that your marriage starts after the wedding like she wisely thought.. Spend what you can reasonably afford without falling into debt. Guests will praise you and complain about some things. In the final analysis, what happens thereafter is more important. Be more focused on preparing towards the success of your marriage. The wedding day is just one day in a lifetime.

She's a wise, prudent,diligent and modest woman by the way...based on what you wrote.

SarkinYarki:
Bronchitis ke? Na COVID be that oo

Scary stuff! Quite possible really.

Very sad indeed. God rest her soul in peace.

MrBrownJay1:
what court of law exactly are you talking about?! it didnt even get to that and she jejely withdrew her accusations.... THEREFORE if Dbanj is indeed innocent, he will STILL sue her for the ₦1.5B defamation of character. if he does not, then it will simply confirm exactly who paid her to keep quiet.

He doesn't have to. Since the Police say there's no evidence and she agreed to withdraw the case, there's really nothing to prove except if he wants it to be on legal records that he's innocent especially because of his business profile and endorsements.

Oroyo10:
Places named after her? A good start.
For sure

According to the an Air Force officer on TVC news this evening. We'll get to know details later I believe.

Oroyo10:
From a trader to the civil servant. From the tailor to the musicians. Let us connect with this noble life to challenge our resolve to be the change we want to see in our nation

You're absolutely right. In the midst of all the chaos in the country, Tolulope focused on excelling in her chosen profession and excelled. Pity, she died young.

She'll always be remembered as the 1st helicopter combat pilot and the "bandit slayer" as she was known. Some places are being named after her. Young ladies have a true heroine to look up to. Much respect!

May she rest peacefully with the Lord. Amen.

kozmokaz:
It is real guys ... don’t play with this

My dad is gone

Modified:

Today makes it exactly 1week

For those saying it’s scam

Pray you wake up to reality.. I was once like you .had same mentality.

Well he was 67

Previous health issue : Diabetes

Was with him that Thursday morning

We spoke , he only complained of general body pain and hotness of the chest only to pass on less than 10 mins later cry

Yes I rushed him to the hospital only for the doctor to confirm him dead

Been on isolation with mom and kid sis since then

And I try to maintain distance and wear a mask each time I go out

Condolences to you and the family. May God comfort and uphold you all.

Unfortunately it hits those with underlying illnesses much harder. Please stay safe and strong. All will be well.

Where are the elite of the Niger Delta in all these? It's hard to believe that all them are complicit in this.

Reminds me of Ken Saro Wiwa and Adaka Boro. May their souls rest in peace.

themosthigh:
I wish Nigeria has a sultan instead of a president. I wish every state has an hereditary emir as governor instead of governors. I wish we have an imperial ruling council headed by the sultan of sokoto whose word will be law. I wish we had a ruling family with queen and crown prince. I wish nigeria will annex all the neighboring countries and merge it into on great imperium of weather Africa.

What are the achievements of the Emirs that have significantly impacted the lives of the people positively in their places of jurisdiction?

I have nothing against traditional rulers though.

majamajic:
From kogi I think

She's Yoruba from Kogi.

Rest in peace our real slay queen.

donstan18:
It's unreasonable and stupid for someone to think a lady that was found in company of criminals is innocent.

They should make sure the get the truth from her and penalize her.

Tears doesn't by any means prove you innocent.

Really? People unwittingly get entangled in unusual circumstances everyday. That's the reason behind the prayer " akoba, adaba, Olorun ma je ka ri" that beggars say to attract people's attention.

How do we know she wasn't being preyed upon too? She said she was selling shoes which is why she claimed she visited him. At least she should be given the opportunity to defend herself.

May her soul rest in peace with the Lord. Amen

mrvitalis:
Fashiola was over hyped as governor ... honestly the first time I went to Lagos as a pH boy I was disappointed ...from airport to lekki ...not a single standard road ...the worst is that lekki epe Express

Now he has failed as a minister too

As a governor he was no we're near aklabio and ameachi in any aspect

Most of the roads from Airport to Lekki are actually FG roads which BRF maintained as much as possible.

Those who lived in Lagos prior to the Fashola era know better. More especially those in some of the remote areas. Many new inner roads were constructed to make accessibility easier. The link between Surulere and Isolo and the one from Ijora to Iganmu through the low income residential areas for instance. The link to Iseri Osun. The clearing of Oshodi which Soldiers in government couldn't do.
The Judicial reform. New hospitals were built and many more things....

thesicilian:
Edo learnt from the mistakes of Lagos. Maybe Ambode would still be governor today if he had half the balls of Obaseki.

A different situation altogether!

The real Shina Rambo is dead according to the Police and a friend of his Oluwasegun Raji aka Okuta.

What value does the title add to people's lives?
There's no point worrying over issues like this.

This is a very unfortunate incident. I feel so sad about this great loss. A promising and decent young lady who could have been a great role model to our young ladies. I feel for the parents and the Airforce.
A most diligent, patriotic, beautiful and worthy officer! Fearless and focused right from a tender age.
May Tolu's soul rest in perfect peace. Amen

Benite:
For those that watched the panel, you will notice Akpabio was just trying to find a way out by not answering their questions and blackmailing the house committee members. The video circulating round of the chairman asking Apkabio to stop talking was because the clash with the female lawmaker then was percieved by him to becoming rowdy. Unfortunately for the Chairman he didnt know that Akpabio wanted that to send to his online Publicist as diversionary which the female Lawmaker (May God bless her) in her wisdom had perceived hence her stand.
Do you know that when the chairman calmed everyone, Akpabio was asked to bring evidence about the contract given to the chairman, he could not, meaning he lied and Akpabio apologised and withdrew his statement. That part of the video is not in circulation courtesy his e-warriors.
In sane country Akpabio being indicted for stealing 30 files (which he acknowledged at the panel), usurping the managent of NDDC and other corrupt practices should have been sacked and jailed as deterrent to others, IMC dissolved and those culprits jailed and Nunieh reinstated with presidential backing.
On a final note i want to appreciate that Hon Benard or so who made Akpabio to be mute lol and that female house of reps member (whoever knows her name should drop it here) she is a hero and needs to be appreciated.
Pls take time to watch the full video of the probe, you will weep for this country.

Thanks for this. Please where can one view the full video.? What I have seen ends with the "It's okay " stated by the acting Chairman.

Thanks @Jarus. Inspiring and enlightening story.

Reminds me of those days when more serious writeups were more prominent on NL.

Many are too impatient to read/learn now sadly.
They wallow in ignorance and lose a lot just like the man's friend.

Coming from adults who should know better.
Vows are always binding with consequences whether a Holy Book or an object is used or not.

Aarenaija:
.......and the youth on this forum especially that are suppose to be angry that their future is being mortgaged and protest this nonsense are here making comic out of the scenario. I weep for this country.............Nigeria is gone.

BB Naija is probably more important to our teeming youth.

Kryptonvinyl:
Mehn, why will they na be running?
I believe the way u start a relationship as a guy determines the way it flows. If u meet a rich babe amd start acting inferior, maybe cuz you're intimidated or u beg too much, she won't give u that much respect. A matured broke guy will control his relationship with a rich girl.
Anyways what does a 21yr old single me knows

Actually you reason well at 21.

Good for KD. We need even development across the nation to create employment for our youth and reduce the rural - urban migration. It should also reduce terrorism and create more opportunities for small and medium scale enterprises in our communities.
