Thought to go through Anthropic AI's YouTube page to watch some tutorials but something on my timeline lead me to binge-watch these videos from the past.

Yeah, 'suffér' the nostalgia like I am now too. Starting with: 👇🏽

If I were to bet, I'll be on nothing will happen to them.
Here's the fact captured on camera:

- The girl slapping the air hostesses aboard the plane and dehumanizing them.
- The girl brutalizing the security guy aboard the bus while she was being transported.
- The girl being violent and resisting arrest while being moved away from the plane.

Plus the optics of her being a 'baddie' who doesn't wear bra - the kind powerful/older women háte for stealing their husbands' attention.

Then there's the optics of "morals" of girls going around not putting on bra or indecency.

Every other thing is whataboutism for engagements and visibility in this social media age of monetized reactions.

After all, VDM really came to limelight positioning himself as an "activist" and he profited off it latching on to the Mohbad debacle which still hasn't been resolved two years later, justified or not.

The rights groups and coalitions seemingly putting up a case for her on social media are fringe NGOs wanting the limelight.

You can all wager a safe bet by this time next week, there'd be another scandal which will numb this and make it look stale and tired.
In the meantime, she's still being remanded till October 2 as ordered by the court. Nothing is changing this.

Remember Chioma Okoli and the Erisco saga? Or that blogger against Fashola? Or KWAM 1 just a week ago?

Then throw in a flight price bonus on a special holiday from Ibom Air or a surprise hamper for passengers on one of it's flight.

This is nothing but entertainment of X and Facebook hot takes, and a cautionary tale to be told on pulpits in orthodox churches about character and decency during midweek service and this Sunday in youth churches.

11 days later...

Nigerians are the most predictable people on the internet.

No form, no resolution... Just hot takes and faux outrage for engagements and optics. Until a new trendier controversy arrives and off we go.

So where are all those emergency social justice warriors? The rights groups looking to grow their pages? Others?

Is the Comfort girl issue still topping trends? KWAM 1 and KWAM 2 jokes?

Please!

You were part of them joining in to troll when I mentioned it was all for optics and nothing will come out of it.

You wanted the héads of those social media tagged were responsible for Mohbad's dëath.

Theflint1:

Dem say as the topic dey trend make we unlook, and if we no fit unlook, make we discuss am dey go till 2033

There was no justice to be had. Just hot takes.

DissTroy:
That's why I term it posturing. They are smart. They'd read the room well. If it's trendy to be on a particular side, they'd do it, they'd pick that side.

It's just like the South Africa-based LGBTQ+ activist who claims to be a pastor with questionable pronouncements, Charles Awuzie, on Facebook who suddenly positioned himself as a Peter Obi activist in May 2022 and laying claims to being the one who created the "Facebook fever and army for Obi".

He would analyse, dissect, and claim to have information about INEC servers, and hacks for inside information which always turn out to be concoctions of his own imaginations.

Man grew his Facebook page from the fringes to over a million and positioned further by taking on Reno Omokri when it was fashionable to do so. It was all posturing.

For most of the influencers (which more and more opinionated folks on Twitter and, recently, Facebook like to call themselves) it's nothing more than engagement as long as it's trendy to do so at the moment.

Do the rest of us have genuine reasons? Maybe. But we aren't as sanctimoniously vituperative as they are because we aren't seeking to ride on sentimentality for our selfish motives.

I expect one egghead to begin holding Twitter spaces for Mohbad in hours. That would happen soon.

I have a mastery of the English language most people don't have, even of their native dialects. So it's English for me.

I meditate in the Queen's English but I fluently speak at least three Nigerian languages.

A40:
You know what I've come to realize. A lot of these people have been coddled all their lives. They are used to guys pandering and conforming. Some do it to get the box then after knacks they say oh he changed. No he's finally done with your nonsense. Then you hear menascum

I'm different in that I don't need to knack to not put up with it. It's never do or die

Bro I don't care what you look like. If you're not giving me phenomenonal interaction I'm gone. (The Comfort is not my cup of tea btw, Pekas and Vegas had much better jawns than that back in the day when we used to evangelize and spread the good word like semenarians)

A lot of times you see a bad jawn and you wonder why no nigga. Set one or two Parole and you are like ohh. This is why nobody don lock am down.

Imagine listening to someone yammer for 20+ minutes no interruptions, time for me to say my piece not even two minutes in you're interrupting to obfuscate issues. I will not do the roller-coaster game with you. This is how many men enter domestic problems

Either you shut up or I hang up.

Told her straight up. Don't interrupt me again I'd hang up. "Excuse you" was the exact response. And hang up I did, Take that feminist girl boss nonsense elsewhere.

https://x.com/oluknn/status/1957532325786296658?t=fWt_t-9gm8JvaiHygwRf8g&s=19

Not standing on bidness is how dudes end up like this bloke

Straight-to-the-freaking-up!

No matter how great her coochie is and how awesome she moved between the sheets, in a number of hours after she leaves, it'd wane and I'd crave the tumbling again. With her or any girl.

But the disrespect will linger and anytime I recollect, I'd relive the experience of letting a girl who I likely funded what we have for most parts get away with disrespecting me.

No, I won't.

That desperation is why men video themselves on FaceTime kneeling and pleading for the coochie.

Options are many. After all they mostly dress and look the same (especially with the wigs and makeup) and talk the same like mass factory-made humanoid robots so what's special about some random girl?

AbokiWam:
Bros you lie..

That kind breast is rare, it is special
I'm not only excited about the manner it was displayed.

I was amazed that a breast that age was still firm and full of life.

For this naija wey 22 year old breast go don fall scatter?

Again, drive into any campus from 5:30PM.

It's almost September so a lot of tech events are popping up. Attend any.

These events are mostly peopled by 20 to 24-year-olds who dress without mammary holders. You'd realize there's nothing special about the Comfort girl's frontals.

People are mostly obsessing because she's fair skinned and fair skinned girls have always considered more desirable.

It's the same reason people were obsessing over Moyo Lawal x-tape - she's fairskinned.

Theflint1:
You're trying to remix what he said happened between him and the girl.

Personal experience, I was talking to someone we never complete two weeks. She spoke for almost 25 minutes interrupted. Time for me to talk e no reach two minutes she jumped into my talk. I was like don't interrupt me again else I hang up . Her response? Excuseee you. With sass .

Perfect response! You spoke for 25 minutes but won't allow me speak? And your response is "Excuse you" with sass, not "sorry" or "come on, not like that" ?

She should bugger off.

Abundance mentality right there from the guy!

If you don't know to wait your turn after not being interrupted by me for 25 minutes, go hawk your coochie elsewhere.

I'm sure in those 25 minute she'll have paused to say "Hello. Are you there?" and he'd have been responding with "I am. I just don't like interrupting".

If her social cues aren't developed enough not to get the message then there are so many things she won't get.

Or have you not dumped beautiful talking-stage females/ almost-bedded girls you had for simple reasons like being too sassy?

[Double post]

I don't need visa application to make me do this.

I never get involved in scandals. I carefully vet I post.

I make my full names and social media accounts public.

I include in on my WhatsApp and any proposal I write.

I always look at the optics before posting.

I also judge people (women especially) by their social media history.

That cliche "I'm different offline" when you are being unhinged online is a lie. You are exactly that crass, attention-craving, scandal-seeking body-sexualizing girl offline.

Theflint1:
If A40 hushed the girl exactly as he said he did, it was simply a case of one rude person jam another rude person.

If he's like me, then he likely let her talk without interrupting. Maybe a few "okay..." and "Oh!", but not interjecting to insert his opinion.

Then when it's my turn and she keeps butting in and mostly without the courtesy "sorry to interrupt, but didn't she...", I'll tell her not to do so. She keeps at it then she can speak to herself.

He hinted at this. That's a man who's courteous and deserves to be treated same.

If it was just about nuttîng, then you might as well call a call girl with no small talk or getting to know her.

If it's conversation leading to sex and might be regular, then let it be worth it.

Sex has always been as psychological as it is physical so why would you want to bed a woman who disrespects you or has no respect for you?

Haven't men divorced or ghosted their beautiful wives and girlfriends because of disrespect?

Why tolerate it from a random girl?

But some of the men here insist if she looks like the Comfort girl (who's suddenly become a standard) then anything goes, including disrespect just for sex.

Trust me, he'll get another girl just as beautiful as the rude one but more mannered in a week or less.

Men are the reason so many disrespectful females are on the rise and bragging about it - we indulge and reward them.

WhoDeyHause:
Lol be like you never jam better toxic babe wey go wan make you craze even though you just want to input and vamoose.

They don't even understand. A40 mentioned when she interrupted, he told her to stop doing so and her response was "Excuse you?" That's being rude.

And they'd tolerate it because they want sex?

LOL. Drive into any university campus this evening from 5:30PM. You'll meet women younger than the Comfort girl with large boobs coming back from lectures. Girls in the 22 to 25 years bracket, and just as pretty.

What? She's light-skinned? There are several to choose from.

What makes the Comfort girl special - photo studio pictures and wigs? She's now the standard?

Well, they should keep placing them on a pedestal.

All I know is that girl being rude to you respects another man and it's not primarily because of money, just as the girl nice to you is rude to some men.

It's about what you choose to tolerate. Women are abundant.

Courtesy is the barest minimum to ask from anyone, much more a woman you'll eventually spend on.

If you think she can disrespect you while at it, you deserve what you get.

The ironic thing is when you take offence when your wife or fiancéé does same to you like she isn't woman enough.

swiz123:
You never ready for kpekuss be that. Wetin concern man wey dey find knack and if babe na parrot.

Why do you guys say these things enabling women? Being a chatterbox is different from being ill-mannered.

You don't need to tolerate a rude woman because you want sex. Women feel out men to gauge how much they can take you for a ride. That same rude girl is respectful to some men.

So you don't deserve respect?

You reinforce bad behaviour by tolerating it.

Better to you use the carrot-and-stick approach where you withdraw attention when she's rude or errs and give a little when she's nice.

Online alone, 37 million people in Nigeria have been using Facebook since February from my research on DataPortal.

About half are females. More than 60 percent are within the 18 - 35 years bracket which is about 9 million young females within that bracket. This is in Nigeria alone.

Facebook groups, your contact list, walls of mutuals on your timeline, Facebook pages...

Millions of women. Not all can be rude. Ignore crass ones for civil ones.

Abundance mentality is a thing when you have the data or numbers.

You're mostly going to be the one spending so why tolerate disrespect on top of it?

Also, there are lawyers who are social climbers.

They carefully vet cases, only going after ones which positions them as fighting the Uber rich and powerful and/or politicians while building their careers as social justice warriors.

You know, like Gani but for the gram and perks or rubbing shoulders with the ultra powerful who call them for secret settlements.

If Mr. A ståbs me and I'm fighting for my life, they never come around. It's just a news feature on blogs - "man ståbs man". Nothing to benefit or raise their profiles.

If Mr. B is a politician or a close associate of a powerful politician, and he verbally assaults me, be rest assured our social-climbing X and Facebook activists will turn of to push my case.

You and I know why.

Ever heard of Harrison Gwamishu on Facebook, Segalink on X then? I can go on.

Comfort Emmason is a means to an end - for optics because of the uproar, to positions are rights activists and to get into the bargaining room for settlements with the powerful organization and the individuals who own it.

None will admit it, but the systematic stripping and unravelling of used-to-famous activists like Segalink is proof of my assertion. And it plays out a thousand times and over.

Please!

Nancy Pelosi flouted Covid rules which others got jailed for. A serving Governor did too to make her hair.

Nancy Pelosi has been fingered for insider trading.

Nobody has been jailed for the USAID fraud which went to personal accounts uncovered by Elon Musk's DOGE.

None of the aforementioned people saw jail time or even a slap on the wrist.

The elite world over have always gotten away witn many crimes as long as they don't step on too many toes and it's not expedient for optics.

Waking up by 4AM because you need to be aboard the school bus by 6:00AM just to be in school before 7:30AM because you'd get stuck in traffic for should be otherwise a 30-minute journey.

Traffic.

Hellish traffic.

Being able to take long interstate journeys by age 13 because you grew up navigating your way in strange places and long roads to go back home.


Having relatives in the same state but being reluctant to see them because you can get stuck in 4 hours traffic from Victoria Island to Ketu. So you leave the visiting for occasional holidays during long school breaks.

KingTom:
Her huge edifice of a Church is still here and still full on Sundays but she's less vocal about the deliverance and exorcism parts. She posted a video of herself recently warning people against saying 'Happy Sunday' but nobody really send her papa now. I remember the comically funny knacking in that her END OF THE WICKED movie wey that woman carry GloriousGbola

This is her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/100044343340287/posts/pfbid0Fz3v8RbfWdzvJG9n2JdmP6rvsy35UhyCgXpGNyfqGe3ttmFuhjZCdmc43Cpp65SHl/ .

She has an army of women under her spell, inspite of her unravelling.

Whether Helen Ukpabio's campaign of óccult-justified filicide or Apostle Suleiman's hubris of miracle money to accounts/geo-traveling from London to Lagos through toilet portals or Adeboye's wild assertions of drinking Nescafé with Jesus' father, you can't save the fanatically religious.

Religion (especially sectarian religion) is the most potent spell ever.

Ma main man Kay. Are you familiar with Jason's Law of Corruption? 🤔

Interestingly, on this same thread, the man was in power and has been trolled for saving billions of naira he could have looted with impunity without projects to show for it. And he'd have walked like OUK or the others.

Jason's Law of Corruption is truly valid for politicians like Sowore who haven't tested/tasted. elective power so without antecedence in elected office we can guage. People like you and I too.

The proof? It's a been exactly 11 years since Obi left power yet he has no EFCC case. For context, his predecessor, Obiano, had handcuffs waiting for him at the handing over to the incumbent administration.

This is not an argument. This is not an attempt to sway. This is not in hopes that you vote him.

This is for the internet user searching Google or ChatGPT because Nairaland has high domain authority so when they search out Jason's Law of Corruption, they see this counter that it doesn't apply to Obi with verifiable instances.

No, he wasn't a saint too, but better in financial management in relative terms.

You know what's odd? Exactly two years ago in August 2023, I was trolling you playfully with the Rick Ross meme of "It will favour me and my family" on this same thread, and the fueling station pump price screenshot with kegs. https://www.nairaland.com/7186774/epl-chatroom-all-discussions/2925#124523236

Seems like yesterday, doesn't it? Well, it's been 2 years already - 24 months.

What real progression has Nigeria made in that time? I'd let Mama Bisola and Oga Etim whose businesses collapsed in that time do the responding.

Good evening, Joe. Always remember: A better Nigeria is POssible. 🙂

Again, I am not seeking to convince you, sir. Not today or the day after.

A scroll down your Facebook timeline will flash the realities of the everyday Nigerian in your face. But we all already know this.

There's no point trying to convince a herbalist getting proper treatment from a modern hospital with trained doctors in better.

He'd always give anecdotes like someone who dîed of cancer despite modern healthcare to justify why guzzling 'agbo' works best - never mind the positives of modern healthcare far outweigh the negatives.

We already did this is 2022. We cursed, we trolled, we got banned, we aligned and realigned. It's a tired trope.

3 years later, in retrospect, we've all realized the dwindling econometrics care nothing about what side of the partisan divide you and I are on.

We all buy from the same markets, battle the same inflation, incur higher levies ,and have to watch on like incapacitated vøyeürs as our common patrimony is stolen without consequence.

There are fathers, uncles, guardians, brothers and nephews here. By September, regardless of who you fence for, be rest assured school fees will skyrocket because the inflation continues to climb. And you'll man up still because you must.

And none of us can rightly point to Obi as the reason for the hikes. Certainly not the reason wanton killings go on unabated in Plateau or Benue.

So, please deflect with questions dripping in whataboutism while ignoring the realities everyday Nigerians face TODAY.

May a better Nigeria be POssible. 🙂

airmark:
Kind, kinder, kindest.

You don't sell water to a cactus - it has adapted to the heat, not realizing not all flora do well in the blazing sun.

I do not hope to convince you, kind sir. No.

I speak to the demography of Nigerians battling skyrocketing inflation and unemployment rates.

I speak to the father of 4 kids who can barely sleep because he dreads the resumption of school by September since his salary isn't increasing and his wife just lost her job because the company she works for folded due to economic challenges.

I speak to the university student who knows for certain her school fees will be delayed and she's in a fix contemplating ditching the home training she clearly got.

I speak to the petty trader who has been forced to sell by the roadside with her 9-year-old daughter, exposing her to the risk of getting hit by the bus driver battling depression because he can't meet up the weekly target of the vehicle's hire purchase.

I speak for the child who has never known what a sheltered life is and the Gen Z who gets offended when she gets called the leader of tomorrow because she's aware enough to realize the current status quo has no place for her.

I speak to these people who make up the bulk of the Nigerian populace and who are armed with their voter cards.

Not to you, sir - you have life easier and disconnected from the realities of everyday Nigerians I see when I go out for the day.

May a better Nigeria be POssible.🙂

Peter Obi made his one-term declaration less than 9 hours ago.

He's ticked so many boxes like relative prudent management of our common patrimony.

It's been 7 years since 2018 when he came to national politics. An EFCC case still hasn't been brought against him.

No, he's not a saint. I wouldn't vote a saint because no human is without blemish.

But Peter Obi is humane - he's kind, he's thoughtful like Osinbajo and has provenly believed in enthroning human rights like Fayemi.

You might not like the movement which his candidacy banks on. I've stated my reservation about the movement.

Pen it down to passion. Passion of young Nigerians yearning to see Nigeria get better.

Maybe their utterances hurt you. But the man himself hasn't hurt you. He hasn't hurt your pockets too or sided with those who cage you and yours.

2027 is less than two years from now.

If you love Nigeria or at least love your relatives in Nigeria; if the plight of Nigerians holds more significance than just banter; if Nigeria goes beyond agenda on Nairaland...

Please vote Obi. And if you won't, please do not spread falsehood against him. There are no medals for being an impediment against progress.

May a better Nigeria become POssible.

.......holding Governors accountable seems a taboo in Nigeria.

They've responded now.

I've mentioned instances to counter like Ortom getting #37.1 billion as security votes yearly yet Benue was insecure and unsafe while he blamed Buhari for everything and Nigerians cheered, supporting him.

Instances like Nigerian state governors getting a perpetual court injunction stopping us from asking what they do with security votes.

Instances like #300 billion paid to 140 host communities through the HCDTs while state governments control almost everything yet the man on the street blames the President for not feeling the impact of being from a host community.

So far it's gaslighting like "government apologist" and "exculpator" to accuse me of diverting blames.

State governments get it easy in this country. Too easy.

.......no single like and share but someone made a bigotry post, yet gets some likes. We all know what we are doing.

I posted it in a WhatsApp group with a lot of moaners who like to blame the President for everything. Exactly 34 minutes now and it's complete 'silence'.

I posted it in the middle of a debate about how Tinubu is ùsélêss and to blame for everything. 47+ online; no comment. Just passive aggressive 'likes'.

Some of the people are state government loyalists. These people don't even realize they are being robbed blind by the Governors they give a free pass.

NBS at least does reports on the state of the nation's economy and her spendings, estimated or grossly exaggerated. With the reports, you can at least hold Tinubu to account and criticize him.

Most of our Governors receive humongous sums periodically or shrouded in more secrecy than Area 51.

You can't hold your governors accountable because you don't even know the financials. You don't know how much was spent on overhead costs like needless convoys or budgeted their wives wallets through pet projects.

Who is in charge of the all the Trunk B and C roads riddled with potholes countless Nigerians løse their lives to daily? The President too?

Is Tinubu the reason why many primary schools, PHCs, and pipe-borne water are in disrepair?

Hold your governors to the same light you hold the President too. They are all ELECTED officials so no selective inquisition.

But you stole a pot of Ogbono soup.
