Talasse, Balanga LG, that's the LGA I served as a youth corps member in 08/09. How time flies.

I'm not against it. Every business should pay tax. Those riders charge for every trip. So, taxing them is not bad.

What I am against is when the tax rate is too high and when the tax is embezzled or misappropriated.

No wahala, shebi its VAT; let's see who is going to bear the burden of the tax.

CaptainFM1:
It's even good for security reasons. Thieves hide in construction sites at night so they can rob in the middle of the night.

Can't you see you're contradicting yourself? Is it not when they work at the site late into the night or even overnight that it'll become difficult for thieves from using the site as their hideout?

Do you know the cost implications of forward integrating?

BlackyOne:
Go out and arrest anyone with a profit margin of over 20%

Major producers needs to own retail outlets across the country, and enter into a franchise/partnership with major commercial retail outlets for ease of distribution.

These will help to reduce man made inflation, we know already that Nigerians are exploitative and terrible wicked to themselves as they've learned from the government, but the government can still do more to reduce the hyperinflation that majority of Nigerians are struggling with.

How pls? These are instincts , if you have viewed that award winning film called ( blood Sisters) you will understand that a minute is enough to commit a crime that will give birth to many other crimes.....

What does she stand to gain killing the man?
Has she ever quarrelled with the man's wife?
Is she married to the man and have atleast some possessions to her self
In his whole family, does anyone know her??
Is she the bait , and others the victors?

Something is not cooking well here.....of am to follow it from your own side of reasoning....

What does she really want in killing him assuming it was done deliberately as you said Bro?

Now you are talking.
I think the questions peeps should be asking are:
What is her motive for killing him?
Why did she have a knife in her possession at that moment?
Who was the friend that linked him with the deceased?
Why did Chidinma conceal her identity while making the reservation?
Does she have anything to gain from his death?
Who benefits the most from the man's death? His wife? His Business Associate? A Friend?
Does the deceased have business dealings with anyone, that is enmeshed with issues?
Why is the wife silent about the whole scenario?
Is there something the wife knows that nobody knows?
Who is Chidinma working for?

The Police needs to dig further to unravel a lot of hidden secrets cos as far as I'm concerned, the murder was well planned ahead of time by someone who stands to benefit a lot from Ataga's demise; not Chidinma. She's just playing a script.

This is QR Code not Barcode.

Even in the new uniform, he still looks like a tout.

Your dad should have known how to load airtime for his mum (your grandma) via his Bank App, Telco Service Provider App, Baxi, Palm Pay + a plethora of online platforms where airtime can be recharged seamlessly.

If he's really a "big" man (as you claimed), then he ought to have been recharging his mum's MSISDN frequently (remotely) without allowing her to run out of airtime.

500,000 daily Haba, not even 50,000. How many passengers per trip and how many trips per day would amount to 500,000 passengers per day.

They just fabricate figures anyhow.

Charmingrascal:
Is it for agbado & dodo?

Or Garri and Cassava?

You remind me of Badagry Grammar School (BGS) in the 90's.

How will I ever forget the chief of them all, Mr Oyekunle (aka Oye Marshal) and his buddy Mr Amolegbe. These 2 had Phd in flogging.

Other notable mentions include:
Mr Peters (Lit-in-Eng), Mr Elias (Maths), Mr Jimoh (Intro Tech, Mr Senu Amosu (Maths), Mr Idowu (Agric), Mr Femi Solola (Eng Lang), Mrs Padonu (Maths and Further Maths), Mr Omoruwa (Maths, Phy and Further Maths), Mr Emepuru (Chemistry), Mr Ayeni (Intro Tech), Mr Ajao (Vice Principal), etc

Those days, we feared (and revered) our teachers more than our parents and uncles.

uvie66:
the thought of losing your means of livelihood is a strong deterrence, Nigerians need draconian laws to reset their brains to behave lawfully.

Nope, i beg to disagree. laws need not be draconian to elicit compliance. There are times you violate the law innocently. You can drive to a location you're not familiar with and enter one-way unknowingly. Agreed, ignorance of the law is no excuse but then the penalty should have a human face.

It is not all violators that do it intentionally. Your car can just decide to develop an electrical issue while on 3MB or any other highway and you'll be in a panic mode. I shouldn't pay thru my nose or lose my vehicle cos my vehicle developed fault all of the sudden or I had flat tyre. Your officers should at least offer assistance and i can still be made to pay a mild fine.

Wait until you be at the receiving end then you'll know how painful this is.

hush15:
Which tule are they breaking? You don't break the rules you make else ordinary citizens will always find reasons too. There was no traffic, no incidence, no emergency, nothing but still decided to use one way cos you are traffic law enforcers. While I know Nigerians have a knack for not obeying laws but the same Nigerians constitutes the law enforcement agencies and they see themselves as untouchable cos they are the law, especially in Lagos because they believe they are loyalist of BAT and as such, the have one godfather this sense of entitlement like their godfather. While many are offenders, but the ethics towards their offenders is not just corrective and punitive way but also oppressive and vindictive.

Go to most of the major Bus-Stops/Road interceptions and see the kingly life LASMA, KAI & LSNC officers live. They collect bottled water (sometimes pet drinks) from these hawkers for FREE. They collect beef rolls & other snack from the hawkers for free. Anytime a sachet water (popularly known as "pure water" truck/van passes a junction, they must collect one bag from those guys.

I was descending the Iyana-Ipaja bridge about 2 weeks ago (enroute Egbeda) and as I about about approaching the Iyana-Ipaja roundabout, i just caught a glipse of a LASMA officer walking towards these kids selling cooked groundnut. The next thing I saw was that he dipped his fist into the girl's tray and packed a handful of groundnut, walked away and started eating them one-by-one. I just opened my mouth and was like WTF did I just witnessed now?

Those guys live like dons and see whatever they do as the norm. To them, the law empowers them to do anyhow.

HarlequinLekex:
Men leave Dubai alone,you start from somewhere they break to enforce for now and be like them on the long run

Did you read what you just typed? Does it make any sense to you? If a vehicle breaks traffic rule, all you need do is radio your fellow officers ahead giving description of the vehicle so that it can be apprehended or you allow the security cameras do their work; after all we have cameras in most places in Lagos now or are they not working?

What if in the process of plying one-way in a bid to "enforce arrest of a supposed violator" and they have a head-on collision with an oncoming vehicle?

Two wrongs they say, don't make a right. You don't commit an anomaly to correct an anomaly.

fuke:
Calm down.
sometimes, you break the law to enforce the law.
Besides, there are some categories of drivers who have the right to break traffic laws.
Ambulance, fire fighters, vehicles on rescue mission which this one could be on.

And does that include LASTMA/KAI/LSNC Vans? What rescue mission are they going for? Last time I checked, their job is to ONLY direct traffic when there are bottlenecks (to ensure free flow of traffic). They are never trained as paramedics or firefighters or LRU officers. Same applies to officials of LASG driving either their private cars or the MDAs' utility vehicle/tool of trade; they flout traffic laws with impunity knowing fully well that nobody will reprimand them. What about politicians in their convoy or wealthy individuals that either ply one-way or use BRT lane in order to beat traffic? Have ever seen LASTMA or LASG Task Force apprehend them? We see these everyday but its only few individual private car owners that are usually the scapegoat.

Drive from Bolade to Ikeja Along in the evening (during rush hour with the heavy traffic) and see how some "selected" vehicles either ply one way or use the BRT lane and the LASTMA & LASG Task force (stationed around the Airport corridor) will still allow them to pass.

HarlequinLekex:
They are doing their work just that stubborn nigerians don't want to obey laws,what i see on this thread so far is unreasonable REVENGEFUL talks,when you say nigeria is not obeying its own laws they started drastic action against violators you start to dey complain,the officials are plying the one way to arrest other stubborn violators,this nigeria is full of ......

Were you in their van when the incident happened or they specifically told you that they plied one-way to arrest stubborn violators (on 3MB for that matter).

Besides we all see LASTMA, KAI, LSNC vans ply one-way or use BRT lane either on our way to the office or on our way home (when the traffic is so heavy). Same thing applies to LASG officials (working at either Alausa or any of LASG agencies) - they ply one-way or use the BRT lane whenever there's traffic while displaying/hanging their ID Cards on the rear view mirror. The application of the law should not affect some peeps while others act with impunity. The only exception here is Fire Trucks and Ambulances (if there's an emergency)

Not trying to defend drivers that ply one-way though but how come LASTMA, KAI, POLICE, MILITARY Officers, LASG staff, politicians do not get their vehicles impounded when they ply one way or are traffic laws meant for private car owners only? The law should not segregate who gets punished. many times we see the aforementioned drive through one-way or BRT lane and nothing happens.

The only exception i think (if need be) is for Fire Trucks, Ambulances (if they have an emergency and there's traffic) and bullion vans (if need be i.e. if its stuffed with cash and there's fear that an attack can take place while in the traffic). even at that, this should be coordinated by traffic officers.

YeyeGbami:
Na him still rehabilitate and expanded lasu iyana iba rd.

Him problem be say why him go vouch for failure , na wetin go make am lose this election be that.

Nah. LASU - Iba Road was Rehabilitated and Expanded by Fashola.

Ddokie:
Who told you that the bread from that bakery won't find its way to supermarkets? Abi na for supermarket dem dey make the bread?

FYI Shoprite, Justrite, Jendol, Spar, BigTreat, and other notable superstores make their bread & its in full public glare.

Let the lies begin.

Maybe she was in banana island. There’s no place on the island that the plate of food displayed here will cost that much.

The mainland guy is catching cruise

Food inside Banana Island is even cheap cos there's no single standard restaurant inside Banana Island, not to talk of Eatery. You can only find all these local women (mama put) selling rice, beans, fufu, eba, noodles, etc (similar to what you see in the "trenches) to these daily paid labourers (working at construction sites inside Banana Island). There's one beside Airtel HQ and there's one at a place called "waterside".

If you want to form posh, you can only order your meal online and it'll be delivered.

Bbsharon:
Have you been here before ? Recently or way back? What was the experience like for you ?

I would really love to read from people who were here when the place was still well functioning and vibrant.

**cheers**

I was there on 29th April, 2022 while on an official engagement to my company's offices in all the six (6) states of the South-South Zone. TBVH, i was heart-wrecked when i got there. I even saw the Monorail and other abandoned facilities as well. They just allowed that laudable project that would have fetched the state billions of Naira to waste away.

I also have some pictures.

A kg of cooking gas is #450 where I live. How much is it in your neighborhood?

In my area i.e. Iju-Ishaga axis, its between #450 - #480 at regular Filling Stations and #500 - #550 at those shops selling gas.

Shetemi12:
I just like the guyy.. He is a true friend who stands for his friend. No cap

Lies!!!

He is actually cashing in on Baba Ijesha's predicament to make money and increase his already dwindled fame. To be very honest, that movie was unnecessary.

ensamy:
Self defense. Such little innocent girl .
Involuntary man slaughter. She will be given 3 years imprisonment at last.

And she involuntarily withdrew money from the deceased account after murdering him, abi? All that is needed is an autopsy establishing that she drugged the man with a sedative in order to weaken him, and she'll swing.

topboss:
IF NIGERIA WAS A NORAMAL COUNTRY, WHERE WOMEN CAN GET JOBS LIKE IN UK AND US.



WILL WOMEN BE SLEEPING AROUND WITH MEN AS A MEANS TO AN END OF LIVELIHOOD?



IF WOMEN WANT TO FIX THEIR HAIR, THEY WILL FIRST OPEN PUSSY.



IF THEY WANT TO BUY PANT, THEY WILL FIRST OPEN PUSSY.


WAT TYPE OF COUNTRY IS THAT, IF NOT A BACKWARD PLACE OF ABUSE.

So there are no prostitutes or call girls in the UK and US?

Hezmatosky:
If i be this man wife, i will surprise everyone. Go to the station, ask the police to release the girl, sign a cheque of 5m naira to the girl and close the case.

Then you'll automatically become a suspect. That action alone looks like trying to bury the case because as the wife, you are an interested party that has a lot to gain from the man's demise. A very good crime investigator/detective would beam his searchlight on you.

Seems op has comprehension issues or he intentionally wants to be mischievous. According to the video, TB Joshua never "predicted" his death when he said he won't be celebrating his coming birthday. He only said there's no point celebrating his birthday when some of his members are being adversely affected by the current issues being faced by everyone globally. Kind of a sign of humility in solidarity of whatever his members are facing worldwide.

Stop misleading others please.
