"Ti sigidi ba fe te, aa ni kan gbe odun lo sodo lo we!" (Apologies. .can't translate directly.)

Money often works hand in hand with the devil thereby pushing one to self destruction.
Politics › Re: Days After FG Appointed El-rufai As Power Investigation Panel OBJ Visits Him by delpee(f): 7:46am On Dec 12, 2019
There are many reports on the power sector. Many were indicted and are being investigated by anti corruption agencies. If OBJ is involved, he'll face the consequences. His meeting with El Rufai will have no impact under this dispensation.

Maybe he was there for other reasons.

A master in criminality. Please EFCC should hurry up and get the other thief called ochendo behind bars too while waiting for that toad currently in umuahia government house to finish his stupid tenure and enter jail too. Those people crippled that wonderful state of Abia
Funny! True that all the leaders who have been unproductive because funds are being siphoned into their pockets deserve long jail terms.

That's why OBJ became the President! Fighting battles is not only by noisemaking and empty threats. Those of us who remember the whole June 12 story understand better.
Travel › Re: FAAN Bans Uber, Bolt And Others From Lagos Airport, Places Heavy Fine by delpee(f): 11:12pm On Dec 10, 2019
Whether the story is true or false, one can always stroll down towards the car park to wait for an Uber driver.
Travel › Re: FAAN Bans Uber, Bolt And Others From Lagos Airport, Places Heavy Fine by delpee(f): 9:05pm On Dec 10, 2019
Why can't FAAN encourage the taxi drivers to upgrade? Competition is necessary for fairness and choice options. Compelling everyone to enter cars mostly with no A/Cs and at exorbitant cost is most unfair.

Security wise, UBER is safer too. Any random guy with a bad motive can register to join the local cab operators which have no trackers installed.

Airports should normally have options for bus and/or rail services as cheaper options. We have neither. Sad!

This guy disowned Nigeria in his last fight.

When Andy Ruiz wgo is Mexican American entered d ring he played the anthems of his 2countries.

But this guy British Nigerian only played the anthem of Britain. Me as a Nigerian to me that as an insult to our country

What does that tell u, he has no loyalty or allegiance he is just after the money, anywhere that favours him he faces there
At least he was ushered in with Felas music. Loyalty to the country that trained him and brought him to fame. What has Nigeria ever done for him apart from his being Nigerian by birth?
Politics › Re: Alleged Arrest Of Northerners: Arewa Body Asks Buhari To Call Sanwo-olu To Order by delpee(f): 7:59pm On Dec 09, 2019
Bikes were banned in FCT years ago by El Rufai. The riders (mostly Northerners) were sent back to their states of origin. People complained but nothing changed.
It was for security reasons.

At a time some other states banned bikes in major cities. People didn't make a big issue out of it. Why should anyone complain if Lagos decides to enforce the law especially with the crime prone nature of the city? These riders drive on unauthorised routes, disobey traffic lights, often reckless (including driving one way) and the government is expected to turn a blind eye?

Besides the government has knowledge of the security situation at all times and may need to take proactive measures as was done in the raid of a BH hideout in Ijora a while ago.

There's no need for bias in all these. People of all tribes ride bikes and anyone can be arrested if they break the law.
Christianity Etc › Re: Prophet Samuel Abiara Supports Social Media Bill by delpee(f): 12:21am On Dec 09, 2019
Does he truly understand the contents of the social media bill? It runs contrary to the word of God. How do we accept killing of a fake news carrier but do plea bargaining for those who instituted poverty and death in people’s lives through the looting of our commonwealth?

We're all living witnesses to what he did when DSS invaded NASS. Then he was acting as the President. That appears to be the root of his perceived problems in the Presidency.

Besides, what can he do when the C in C is in charge?
Politics › Re: Dew Of Hope Hospital Linked To Okorocha Forfeited To Federal Government by delpee(f): 7:28am On Dec 07, 2019
SoNature:
This debate started in the time of James Ibori, when the FG seized everything recovered from him instead of giving them to Delta State government.

I thought they had resolved this issue.

The EFCC Act has to be amended because this is wrong; EFCC cannot be seizing recovered state loots because that's another form of corruption.
Perhaps the States should investigate and try their looters so they can recover for the State. Kwara State has been working on how to recover properties from Saraki for instance.

Jewessgratitude:
Which kingsways was operating in yorubaland? Or do you want to claim Ikoyi belongs to yourbas now cos thats where the kingsway I know operated and still has a road till now and thats where I was born and brought up so I know the history. Ikoyi is no mans land. check history of the Onikoyis.
There was Kingsway in Ibadan. We enjoyed it most around this season. Visits by train within to the grotto to see Father Christmas. Also UTC and Leventis in the axis. Fun filled holidays those days.

In Lagos, there was Kingsway in Marina, Apata and Ikeja. Ditto Leventis and UTC. None in Ikoyi.

Under bridge opposite the Surulere stadium is neat. Same with Falomo. The Obalende area was being redesigned with artwork and gardens before Ambode left. The roundabout under the bridge was where Tiwa had a show recently. Traders are back to the Moloney junction side now sadly.

Yea Aketi is rich but all the same they could have done this thing at Agodi gardens in Ibadan.

Na dem sabi sha.
He'll have to invite the President, VP, Senators, Governors, Reps, APC party leaders, LG Chairmen, Ondo State Executive Council, Obas and Chiefs, NURTW, Market Leaders etc

Remember the Ajimobi/Ganduje wedding in Ibadan (Agodi Gardens I think) and Kano. So many people attended.

Not all children like the idea of having thousands of strangers at their wedding. Some opt for privacy which their parents respect. A lot of cost savings too as I have learnt over time.
Its really not our business anyway.

Their lives, their choice.

WHERE IS THE RIGHT OF WAY? THEY SHOULD MENTIONED THE LOCATIONS N AREAS. JUST SAYING ETIOSA IS NOT ENOUGH, NARROW IT DOWN TO WHICH PARTS IN ETIOSA WILL BE VERY HELPFUL FOR EASY UNDERSTANDING.

WHERE IS THE PATH OF THE REGIONAL ROAD THEY MENTIONED?

PLEASE WHO KNOWS THE AREAS AFFECTED SHOULD LIST IT FOR US.
I don't know the whole area but I know there's a wide untared road in Lekki that leads to Landmark and other event centres by Oniru beach side. There are some paving stones sellers along the road. They're aware that they're doing business there pending the development of the road. No permanent structures along that path.

Politics › Re: Supreme Council For Sharia In Nigeria Advocates For Sharia In Four SW States" by delpee(f): 12:56pm On Nov 30, 2019
He observed how a Christian governor was corrupt but didn't remember the corrupt Muslim governors including the former pro Zamfara governor who instituted Sharia law in his State.

As we have all seen, except we choose to be hypocritical, religion has little to do with our leaders behaviour in Nigeria. We've seen Alfas and Pastors engaged in all kinds of shady deals. The North with Sharia in practice, has not done better than the South in any way.

The more we choose to emphasise those things that divide us the more problems we create for ourselves.

Meanwhile they also collect from traders and shop owners especially around major bustops.

She did not stretch out her hand. Simple courtesy....A man shakes a woman whose hand is extended for such. She probably understands PMBs attitude to such and chose to let it slide. Why blame the President for this?
Politics › Re: Nigerians Argue Over Buhari Not Shaking Hands With Tinubu's Wife At A Function by delpee(f): 2:01pm On Nov 29, 2019
The video shows that she did not stretch out her hand. Probably she considered the fact that he's a Muslim and may prefer not to shake her.

That's my observation anyway.

She's fully covered in my view.

I can imagine this man as a Sharia court judge. Women will suffer greatly.
