Car Talk › Re: Motorists Demand Cheaper Petrol As Crude Price Falls by DeOTR: 9:04am On Jun 26
MadPolitician:
It is unconstitutional and glaringly evil to entrust the responsibility of setting the nations fuel pump price in the hands of a notoriously ruthless ultra capitalist like Dangote. That job has always been, and should always be that of the federal government. But it is obvious that the APC cartel-government has been desperate to allign with the Dangote set up to liquidate Nigerians. They are in bed with this man and ordinary Nigerians are paying dearly as a consequence.

The whole Dangote interjections in critical sectors of the economy have only served the country in one way; solving critical problems by ultimately creating fresh critical problems. He delves into these highly important sectors with his gigantic plans. He unleashes his financial muscles, and he ultimately provides the needed products locally. But that's where the good story ends. How do I mean?

The scorecard is very clear: Dangote always provides quality local substitutes for imported products. He makes it look lije he is the ultimate agent for the industrialisation of Nigeria/Africa. But what undercuts his warped nationalistic narratives is the fact that his locally produced materials are always costlier than the imported ones by miles. Even with the cheap local labour. You will get the products for sure but you will pay through your nose. Where is the gain then?

Even the argument that he helps to curtail foreign exchange flight through local productions is jejune at this point, because let's face it, a lot of his foreign royalties coming from exported goods, end up in his offshore accounts and seldom gets into Nigeria. So if we are paying more for goods that we can import cheaply, and the excess gains from local producers end up in the offshore accounts of one man, how is his amorphous dominance of the country's economy beneficial to the ordinary man on the streets?
Build your own refinery and sell lesser than the greedy Dangote, the monopolist.
Most of you who do business are very notorious for shortchanging your customers/clients, but you want to be buying everything else at below market prices.
Oga, go into the industry if you think you can do better.

Devastating Earthquake Hits Venezuela: Heartbreaking Videos Show Widespread Damage

A powerful earthquake struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026, leaving residents shaken as reports and viral videos showed the impact of the tremor across affected areas.

Footage circulating on social media captured the terrifying moment the earthquake hit. One widely shared video shows the inside of a home violently shaking as perfume bottles and household items fall from shelves, furniture moves, and cracks appear on walls. The footage highlights the sudden force of the earthquake as residents struggled to understand what was happening.

Another emotional video shows a woman walking through her damaged home after the quake. She appears overwhelmed as she surveys rooms filled with debris, broken tiles, fallen plaster, and scattered belongings. The heartbreaking moment has drawn sympathy from viewers, with many expressing relief that those affected survived the disaster.

Reactions online, especially on X, have been filled with messages of support and prayers for affected residents. Many people noted that while losing property is painful, human life remains the most important thing during natural disasters.

Venezuela has experienced earthquakes in the past due to its location near active tectonic zones, and the latest tremor serves as another reminder of the unpredictable power of nature.

As authorities continue assessing the situation, the full scale of the damage remains unclear. The incident highlights both the vulnerability of buildings during major earthquakes and the strength of communities facing sudden disasters.
The structural integrity of that building is badly compromised. Get outta there before something worse happens.

Laughing in state police and reform.

Nigeria that cannot fund federal police go fund state police?

Nigeria where federal police runs from bandits and thugs, go produce state police that won't run

Still lauhging in state police.


You Nigerians do not know what is really wrong with your country, na to shout abuse up and down and defend politicans and tribe you dey know.
Our federal police are not riding lambos either, so what's your point?
The joy of this is that, states that can afford it will establish it. Nobody should hold others ransom because of ulterior motives of conquests.

Can't EFCC specifically state the "uunlawful" activities? We all know that the activities will involve kidnapping and ransom taking. Anyway, I'm sure FG cum EFCC is just playing to the gallery because of the statement issued by the US. They will soon free this man and you will not hear pim again.
The man has been in and out of detention for the past 3 years now. It's not the US. You people should work on your inferiority complex abeg.

This bail condition is reasonable for the level of accusations involved. N100 million and a Maitama landlord as a surety should not be difficult for the midget.

State policing has been in the public debate since before Obi became a governor Oga. Just like the cry for restructuring, this didn't start in 2025.

Don't mind him. I don't think any state would be forced to adopt state policing. Any state that's OK with the status quo should leave state policing to those who mean business. We know the fear behind state policing and those against him. It's coming from those hellbent on conquering every inch of the country by the sword. They'll need to wipe 200 million people before they can dream of that. State policing, rightly implemented, will cure a lot of madness quickly.
Career › Re: Why Do Companies Post Vacancies When The Posts Have Been Filled? by DeOTR: 1:35pm On Jun 23
AngelSlay:
I understand the frustration, and unfortunately, many job seekers can relate to this experience. 💔

Applying to hundreds of jobs, tailoring CVs, writing cover letters, and getting little or no response can be mentally exhausting. The silence often feels worse than a rejection because you're left wondering what happened.

That said, not every job posting is fake or already filled. Sometimes recruiters receive thousands of applications within hours, and many qualified candidates never get a response simply because of the volume.

The reality is that job boards alone are rarely enough in today's market. Networking, referrals, direct outreach, personal branding, internships, volunteering, and building relevant skills have become just as important as submitting applications.

To everyone currently job hunting: please don't tie your worth to the number of rejections or unanswered applications. A delayed opportunity is not a reflection of your value.

And if you're feeling overwhelmed, please talk to someone. No job is worth your life. ❤️

Let's keep supporting one another and sharing opportunities, strategies, and success stories. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think. 🙏🏽
REFERRALS will land you jobs thousands of people have applied for and many are currently been actively interviewed, but you have to know the right people first.
In Nigeria of today, you might want to forget about getting a good job without the right connection, worse if the job is just a regular position that many hands are available to fill.
Politics › Re: Warning: Sunday Igboho's Actions May Fuel Ethnic And Religious Tensions by DeOTR: 9:38am On Jun 22
AMINDA:
Okay o. So Tinubu is now legalising a militia from his own tribe that is actively promoting pogrom against another ethnic group right? Is this any different from what Nnamdi Kanu did that made Tinubu send him to prison? Continue. We know all these are just to destabilise Seyi Makinde's hold on the state and shore up support for Tinubu that is fast dwindling, even in his base.

Say whatever makes you sleep at night. Any attempt at terrorism will be met with more brutal revenge. No be only get craze

Warning: Sunday Igboho's Actions May Fuel Ethnic and Religious Tensions

Nigeria's strength has always rested on its diversity. From the Hausa-Fulani in the North to the Yoruba in the South-West and the Igbo in the South-East, the country is home to hundreds of ethnic groups that have coexisted despite numerous challenges. However, recent developments and inflammatory statements by some ethnic agitators like Sunday Igboho have raised concerns among observers who fear that such rhetoric could deepen divisions and threaten national unity.

Analysts warn that when influential figures repeatedly single out Fulani ethnic group for criticism, threats, or blame, the consequences can be dangerous. Such narratives have the potential to fuel mistrust, provoke reprisals, and create an atmosphere of fear among ordinary citizens who have no connection to criminal activities.

Many Nigerians argue that criminality is not exclusive to any ethnic group. Across the country, individuals from different backgrounds have been implicated in kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry, cybercrime, and other offences. Consequently, security challenges should be addressed through law enforcement and justice mechanisms rather than ethnic profiling or collective condemnation.

Observers also urge government authorities and security agencies to remain vigilant and address emerging tensions before they spiral out of control. According to them, preventing violence is far less costly than managing its aftermath.

As Nigeria continues its journey toward nation-building, many believe that unity, tolerance, and mutual respect remain indispensable. The country can only progress when citizens judge individuals by their actions rather than their ethnic identities. In a nation of diverse cultures and traditions, preserving peace must remain a collective responsibility.

What's more likely to trigger ethnic war than a particular tribe invading every nook and crany of the country and kidnapping people for ransom?
So that's not enough reason for you, but the reaction to the problem is your issue? Why don't you talk about the cause and let's see if the effects will still be an issue?

So because he is a wanted terrorist now dead his family should suffer for his misdeed . I didn't know crime is now genetically transferrable, they should kukuma arrest all his friends and even the bank that he initiated the transfer from because they offered their platform and automatically become accessory to the crime
They are accomplices. If your family member is a wanted terrorist and you still get in touch with them and receive money from the proceeds of his criminal activity, you're also a criminal. Ignorance is no excuse in law

Nigeria Government is crazy, you expect them to confront an armed bandit, who will he kill first if they betrayed him ... You people just like marginalising women .... Do you know if he told her he was into import and export business and which mother would want to send her child to jail, it is bad enough she has to endure his death ... His death is enough, he is the criminal, he has paid the price for his crime.
The guy is a wanted terrorist. Be reasonable please.

Let's just hope that his colleagues will not kidnap School children and press for their swap in exchange for his jailed mother and sister. It's because he is dead that they went ahead with sentencing
Probably what the guy wanted to do before he met his end. Any other attempts will be met with the same outcome.

The town is very notorious for snake invasion particularly the viper species. They are everywhere in Kaltungo
It's a myth. I served here and I never saw snakes more than once during my stay and the one time was on a path in the evening, which we all know could be the case anywhere in the country.
Even when we climbed the kilang hill, we didn't see a single snake.
I'm not saying there are no snakes there, but I don't think it's more than anywhere else in the country.

Am very disappointed in Kenneth but his matter is for another day. In time, it will be addressed.
I'm sure you don't see anything wrong in calling Tinubu a drug lord, certificate forger and cocaine sniffer.
I guess those are just "jabs" and not defamation.
I can't remember anyone being in jail because of the insults and outright lies Obi and his supporters throw at the President. E reach your turn to take what you've giving to others, you're foaming in the mouth.

Well service has improved

Back in the day, one could not call MTN with airtel line, one could not call NITEL fixed line or CDMA lines, one could not even have home internet...and when it first came it was GPRS in 2005, when some countries already had 3g , and so forth. Also, phone services did not exist in many rural areas as at 2003, now it does.

It's getting better. The only problem is power supply.
Well, we are now in 2026, and from my honest observation, my service is actually getting worse from my own experience. When I moved to my current location 4 years ago, I could still work from home even though I might experience some hiccups once in a while. I'm a software engineer, and I'm working on a dev server located in the US, so it's usually very slow and requires strong signal. This is 2026 and it's practically impossible to work from home as I used to even though my data bill is more than 4x what I used to spend when I came here.
