Power is toxic.

One used his position in power to colonized public property to private one. Another is now using his new found power to intimidate the one that previously had the power. Vicious circle. Either way, the masses wont gain anything from this tussle, so na dem sabi.

vegafbs:
He therefore asked the Senate President to stop misleading the public with his half truth.

There is nothing half about this truth. Half truth would have been he said he received 7 Million, but saying 750K, that is about 5% of the truth. Politicians earning so much for what exactly? What are they bringing to better our laws to earn so much?

maybachmusic:
his music is dead


he should move unto other stuff

Na you kill his music? Those of us that like it no complain. In one of his track back in the day, he said , then, that was his time to shine and he shone. So now it´s Wizkid and Davido. In another 3-5 years, someone else will take over. That is how the system works.

I know for fact, that Marley guy no fit stand our own made Eminem when it comes to dissing. But let´s see how things unfold.

Politicians are our biggest threat, no Boko Haram.

The only question i have, how did he get the guns into the country? Illegally i believe, which in itself is another crime. That is how the Ofa Robbers used the guns provided to them by some politicians to wreck havoc.

wait ... i say wait first nah ... is this not the same internet fraud that others are getting 6 months to 1 year jail sentences? What makes this one different? Am not against sentencing these fraudsters, but 35 years? common... Maybe i missed something because i no read the whole article.



Edit....
OK, so these are concurrent jail terms. But still 7 years is much. I thought 3-5 years would be punitive enough as well as property forfeiture.

Basically what they are looking into is how severe the punishment should be not even the ref performance. Agreed that Cameroon disgraced themselves. But what has it got to do with the whole of Africa? If an European team did that, they will only be referring to that country. Now an African team did it, the searchlight will be on the whole of Africa. Black do suffer for this world no be today.

Why should she move out? 50% of that house belongs to her. Any court that says otherwise is ........
Anyway, Naija laws get as e be.

This has nothing to do with lightening. One should be safe in a car if lightening struck. Was the car just all metal parts and were there no tyres? This story get as e be. I sure say na Nollywood director come up with this kind story.

If you are in doubt, then read the below or just google the topic

Rubber tires aren't why you're safe in a car during a lightning storm. ... You're safe in a car because the lightning will travel around the surface of the vehicle and then go to ground. This occurs because the vehicle acts like a Faraday cage.

ShitHead:
Forced him at gun point abi?

Boko boy. E dey your blood.

Arrested on Monday and already sentenced? Am so sure, the guy didn´t get any representation. And that judge must be in the pocket of the Govt. Wtf!!

We claimed to copy America Democracy, have you see how comedians especially in late night shows diss and insult Donal Trump? Ordinary song and this crap of a sentence. Where is the freedom of speech?

Anyone else noticed that the offences and the penalties are world apart? 3 years for traffic offence? How many years for politicians stealing our money?

His PRs and Image managers have drawn out a plan to reintroduce a new narrative of him. To sell him as generous, nice, hardworking Male who is only unfortunate and maligned by hateful people. Wow wow wow!

"Good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells." - Donald J. Trump (The Art of the Deal)

Sometimes, just see the good in people and stop being a conspiracy theorist.

mapet:
Let me put some perspectives to this..
1. Banks are within legal limit to give POS machines to registered businesses, SMEs and traders. That is why banks are by law required to run background checks aprior.
2. POS are registered and the ones used for fraud are less likely to be the legitimate ones.
3. There are syndicates (international at that) that specialises in and perpetrate POS fraud. They clone machines, cards, hack into networks, work through willing and gullible collaborators.

So based on your 3rd point, we do need a security agency to fight this and so far only EFCC is coming up with something. So i still think, they should be commended and not crucify by some here. I don´t think anyone of use would like to be a victim to such crime.

;Dper boiled rice....

The worst set of fans anyday IMO. They boo their own players every 2nd game.

Tinubiu is a real Kingmaker sha... Lai Mohammed laugh weak me for groin

At least they are doing something. Did you guys even asked yourself why no other Govt organisation is doing anything about this? Why should banks gives POS to anyone requesting for it? All we do is criticise, i do not see any one proffering a better solution or alternative to the EFCC that can curb this menace..

I need to googled the meaning of stevedoring to understand this matter. So according to google, it means those we called "Aboki" inside market to help us carry load. But in this case, they are in the Port.

Our Govt should protect it´s own. They are not supposed to be threaten with a strike to protect their citizens who actually worked but are not being paid.

Even Igbos don´t trust igbos, you want a Fulani to trust one? Una go wait old.

Ucheosefoh:
When did he accepted that abi una don start una fabrication of lies like lai Mohammed.

i tell you, some people are more shameless than D. Trump with their lies and manipulation of facts.

XhosaNostra:
He bought me ugly shoes & I had to wear them on Christmas. He took a bunch of photos that day & I looked visibly upset in every single one them. I really hated the shoes. I only wore them once. Trust a dad to pick some manly-looking shoes.

lol ... was it Cutina shoes?

I believe, some would have said, it was tribalism had OBJ recognized Abiola. So it´s technically a no win situation for him. Don´t get me wrong, i also think, he should have recognized him.

However, what about the other presidents? They should have, but didn´t. This topic came up every year since 1999 at the same time like clockwork, but none of them recognized him. And why did Buhari took so long to do that? What if he didn´t win a 2nd term? All the same, kudos to him for giving honours to whom it´s due in the person of Late Abiola.

wtf!! If na naija beauty queen sing this ting eh, na insults for full everywhere. But honestly, that guy made a bad song worse.

Did you go to the police? Was an investigation done or still going on? They should be able to fish out the person that contacted you online. So go to the authorities. The sooner these criminals are apprehended, the better before someone else falls victim.

Thought this guy is contesting for the governorship of his state?

Someone please wake me when women knows what they want. In one breath, they will demand to be treated equally as men, at another, they want preferential treatment. So guys should give you special treatment because you are a woman? Am so sure, she wont standup and free her sit for an elderly man/woman.

Chai, Senate is compromise. Rubber-stamp senate for a free ride for Bubu

Look at the things we called trucks in this country. 95% of owners can buy the latest cars fully paid for, but their trucks are deathtraps.

Patriotzz:
Responsible Senator.

Why didn´t he say something sooner? If he was returned as a senator, would he have spoken out?

We always blame Govt for the things we do. Na govt carry firewood go there? We destroy and misuse public properties, then blame govt. If we treat these collective properties, the way we would our own, then the amount and energy needed by the govt to maintain them would be 10 times less.

So my take is that govt is 40% at fault for lack of proper maintenance and enforcement of common environmental laws while the citizens are 60% guilty of lacking common sense.

; One of dem reminds me of "Atom Ant"

I read some comments here and though they were written in good faith, i can´t understand why Africans believe so much that the man needs prayers. This is blatant cheating and he confirmed the same. She should leave him and take care of her child. There is nothing rash in that decision. Well, she said she is not here for advice so i wish her the best in what she decides to do.

That being said, the sooner Africa women realise they can do without men, the better. The over reliance on men is giving us the impetus to keep treating our women with little respect.
