A case of theif flogging another theif. Obasnajo spent $16b on power during his time and at the end, nothing could be shown for it. Is he not a theif as well?

They should also flog you for ignorance. How much was Nigeria's budget at the time? How many times does it need to be mentioned that $16billion was not spent! on power!

pharaohmonch:
I have another angle to this tho! Call it. Conspiracy theory or me just playing the devils advocate. If Fahims torso was found limbless ; were the limbs and his head recovered from the scene? His 2.2million dollar condo would have internal cameras right? Yea the killer was covered , have the found surveillance showing the butchering? He raised a lot of money for his Gokada start up that went belly up due to government legislation, that would mean investors are after him ... maybe the mafia or the a mob Boss OR just venture capitalists that are pulling him from all sides for returns on their investments. What if I die? Or just disappear? How can I die without traces .... no face no fingerprint ! Who would recognize my torso? My girlfriend.. oh she was the one that called the cops cos she hadn’t seen him in One day.. hmmmmm. #justmythoughts

You too watch film.......

Another fake story to drive traffic.

Nairaland is now paying script/content writers just to keep traffic. People will soon get bored of faje stories and find alternatives. Advertisers will then leave too. This is how sites start their demise.

@First emboldened It seems you are seeing things

When did I ever make that statement?

@ second boldened

So you actually don't know that summer in most countries with Four seasons can just be as hot be as hot as tropical regions in the summer?

And what about the third case? Was it also gotten from travelling to Italy?

Guy, there's no need for all this arguements. Yes no one knows for sure whether transmission will stop or reduce in warmer climes but all evidence points that way. It is similar to the common cold or FLU virus and we know that those are only prevalent in the winter. We are barely in Spring in most places. By the time its summer proper, cases will reduce. If it doesnt, well then we are screwed but there is a high likelihood it will go away.

Iamgrey5:


I think SA gets pretty cold too anyway. Most of these places just ended winter.

Aforementioned is your comment!


South Africa is currently experiencing some of its hottest months.

Sa experience southern winter which is usually in June to August.

That's my response!

Since you sha want to argue, okay lets go. Firstly, i mentioned i wasn't making a case for corona but correcting the statement you made that Iran is hotter than Nigeria. When talking temperatures, you reference average temperatures oga. You cannot say a region that has winter is hotter than one that doesnt experience winter even though Iran may have sime high summer months. Also, we are just concluding winter in most territories. Tou say South Africa is having its hottest months. Did you also bother to read the article? Both of them got the virus after travel to Italy. So far they do not have a case of the virus being transmitted from person to person in SA. Nobody knows whether it thrives in warm weather or not but the evidence points that way.

The same reason why FLU is mostly prevalent in the winter.

Iamgrey5:
South Africa is currently experiencing some of its hottest months.

Sa experience southern winter which is usually in June to August.

If you make an excuse for Iran based on cold weather, what of Sa whose weather at the moment is not that cold? What is fueling the spike in the numbers of those with Corona virus?

You obviously have no intention of reading any comment but yours. Read my reply again.

Iamgrey5:
What Sa that is currently in summer?

I am not inferring anything about Corona. Just pointing out that Iran had winter. I think SA gets pretty cold too anyway. Most of these places just ended winter.....

smogup:
it's not about temperate weather. Iran is hotter than Nigeria.

Actually, Iran has winter between november - February and it snows well. Naija no get snow na.

How did I knock another man's hustle? I paid my own money to use the gym and I am entitled to critique it as I see fit. Furthermore, why would I build a GYM for 9ja, a country with 7.5% VAT and more than half the population is poor? Oga face front!

Your statement "LA fitness wannabe" is not critique but the typical backwards Nigerian mentality.
Since you can't build a GYM in a country with 7.5% VAT then stop misyarning about those doing it. You probably no get bicycle tire for yankee yet you dey misyarn about someone that actually owns a business.

abbey621:


Matter of fact I visited the gym last time I was in 9ja, it's a wannabee LA fitness...lol. Okay let's stop arguing about hypothesis, you believe Twitter comments from bad publicity equates to more patronizing of one's business and I don't, let each of us hold on to our beliefs....Shikena!

Nigerians and dia bad mouth. Even if it really is a wannabee LA fitness nko. Why you knocking another mans hustle. Wey your own GYM wey you build for naija.

Congratulations to her.
I don't mean to sound heartless but I cannot tolerate two years of childlessness in marriage.

If after two years you don't give me a child, I will get someone else to give me while I bring him/her home for you to train.

One of the major reasons why I will ever get married is because I want children, so why will I be with a woman who can't give me that for more than two years?

Even in my relationship. If I have unprotected sex with you at least ten times in a month and and you don't take in, I will start doubting your fertility.

I don't wish childlessness in marriage for even my worst enemy cos I know I can't take it.

No offense biko

What if you are tge infertile one? Now what?

MaziOmenuko:




The joke is on you! Those shoprites branches you see belong to Nigerians. Its called a 'franchise', you can look up the word. You can buy a franchise to open a shoprite; royalties are being remitted to the brand owners, who may not even be in Nigeria. Same goes for MTN; most of the outlets are owned by Nigerians, selling services offered by MTN and remitting to MTN. MTN is now listed in Nigerian stock exchange and sold-out within two days. Who you think over-subscribed the shares? They generate tax revenue, have Nigerian staff, supervisors and Managers, have chains of outsourced services that keeps other Nigerian SME's running, engage in CSR's that contribute in its own little way to improve communities they are; they contribute positively to the Nigerian economy!

Be there and be destroying Nigerian businesses while those motherfvckers kill people. They waste people's lives and you are looting groceries and table water.

Jokers!

While your point is correct, you have made incorrect statements about them being Nigerian franchises. If all those shoprites are franchises owned by Nigerians, can you name at least one Nigerian owner? Same goes for MTN.

I'm much older than most of you guys here, so no wahala, you have plenty time to get yo own pali. Just letting you know that I'm talking from point of facts and experience. No oppression.

Hope you noted the sarcasm. One thing though, don't underestimate the power of the internet. I could be a 70 year old pretending to be a young person. Don't be too sure you're older than most. There's quite a few "old dogs" on here.

abbey621:


Lol.....Not only do I live in America but I'm a U.S citizen with certain security clearance. Trump cares less about Africans and is focus is more on the Southern border and refugees from central and South America. You know ust becuse you don't like someone does not mean you can make up ridiculous theories! Can you show me statistics that proves less Nigerians are being granted visas than under Obama? Can you show me statistics that proves more Nigerians are being refused at the port of entry than under Obama? Perhaps you prefer to get your statistics from CNN

Patapata you go be U.S army pesin. Se with your security clearance you fit get uninterrupted network service from MTN? if not abeg throwe the clearance!! Just kidding ooo.

NOHOLDSBAR:


When you get to the airport, for example Delta airline - they have a guy or lady that will check your passport and visa before you even approach the check in agent. These people are only doing a visual check for fake visa or passport. Once you are cleared that is when you get to check in where the agent only cares about if your ticket is real and your final destination. When you arrive at the boarding gate, they will collect your passport again and scan it. This manifest is transmitted to the US for security and other reasons. This is how the US govt will know that you are on a flight and can wait for you (if you are a wanted person) at the gate before the plane even lands. Once this information is scanned and transmitted, it is very possible that their visas were flagged as been cancelled hence the airline was notified to remove them from the flight. I have gone through this steps more than 100 times. I know the routine. I'll be on a flight to the US by this time tomorrow and be back by the weekend.

You are saying it as it is but try and tone down with the systematic "oppression". Just a little my guy.. . In your previous comment, you slid it in there that even your "US Passport" is checked. And on this one, you stated you'll be travelling tomorrow and be back by the weekend. You wan over oppress ni. Kilode. Calm down na. We sef go collect blue when Trump finish hin tenure and better pesin enter... By force or fire, embassy go give us visa too....

fairfora:
Our people must learn to keep secret at times especially in Nigeria where bad belle full ground. If you have good intentions, don't share with everybody until you're done. Rather pray to God for the success of it whilst you carry out your plans. I have a close relation who was deported from USA at the port of entry on the account wrong of identity. He went to the embassy himself for his interview , leading to approval of his Visa. The guy was jubilating up and down, showing his Visa to every Tom, dick and harry. When he got to the USA port of entry, the CBP said the pictures on the bio data page and Visa page in his passport didn't resemble his real look. He was asked to thumb print which he did and the fingerprints were all his.

Eventually, they deported this guy on account of fraud with a ban. When he got back home, his aunt took him to their pastor who prayed for him this pastor asked him, who is so, and so( mentioning the person's name) and the guy said she's just a friend and the man said she took photograph of the Visa with her eyes and cancelled it in the spirit realm. He told the guy not to worry but would need to pray very hard to get another one. A few years later, he got a renewed Visa and his wife sef no know when im reach yankee. He came back after his programme and settled the scores with her and siblings whom he didn't inform before travelling.

Niccurrr, get the eff outta here with this boollsheeet story.

senatordave1:

That was due to the non payment of salaries by aregbesola plus massive vote buying by adeleke.by the way,south west polls are always close.even the bayelsa
Polls in 2016 was close.mind you all eyes were on those polls hence rigging is difficult plus sons of the soil were contesting.

You have me confused. We are talking about LAGOS!!

senatordave1:

Arroyo forgetting that in 2015 the security forces were controlled by pdp? You dont seem to know how mean and ruthless pdp is.the osun poll was an example.

But as an APC stronghold, why were the numbers so close? That is tge question. Sure they can rig but in a stronghold, the numbers shouldn't be that close.

bash8936:
Lolzzzz...This guy is wan just waste 50k sha... Which party fit win APC for Lagos??
Lagos APC is strong ooo.
The Last election held in Lagos was Local Government election last year which APC swept all the Local Government.
There are just 3local Govt PDP can win out of the Local govt but as usual APC will do their magic from ALimosho votes to win at atlast.
Please don't waste your money, I don't see a way PDP can win in Lagos.
Even at 2015 when Jonathan and ifeanyi Ubah (TAN) where sharing money at polling centres in Lagos I thought PDP will win but when the result came out I was surprised because I don't know how APC managed to still win.
But now that majority of Buhari's appointment are from Lagos (Fashola,fowler,muiz banire, Osinbajo,femi Pedro, abike dabiri, mamora, adefuliere) coupled with tinubu's factor.. Rigging or not U can't defeat APC in Lagos State. Local Govt by Local Government APC will win 15 out of 20.

They may not win but please stop saying APC will win overwhelmingly in Lagos. Yes Lagos is APC but for the PRESIDENTIAL elections, please look at past results. Atiku does not need to win Lagos, he only needs substantial votes in Lagos.

senatordave1:

Buhari will win lagos heavily.from what am seeing,thugs and police will intimidate and force people to vote apc.

The same thugs and police that intimidated in 2015? Lets stop being sentimental. The numbers from 2015 show that Lagos is actually up for grabs. Noise making is one thing but the actual voting process is what counts. He barely won lagos last time so i doubt he will win HEAVILY.

Ehiscotch:


Dude. Is this a joke or do you have an idea of what politics is in Nigeria?

If you did then you'd know that Lagos is APC's strongest hold in Nigeria even when they were in opposition they never lost.

Even in the US there are certain states the republicans never win.

Buhari's is assured of winning the SW just as Atiku is for the SE. I say this with no form of prejudice whatsoever.

Is your assertion based on sentiment or facts? From the 2015 elections, Buhari (APC) had 792,460 votes and Jonathan (PDP) had 632,327. He barely won Lagos!! According to wikipedia and pulled from INEC (inec link is down right now so i can't verify).
If those numbers are correct, what does that tell you? The so called strong hold is not really a strong hold and can be won.

nograv:


Sorry O, but I tire of people repeating the white man's version of history.

I have spent many years reading old texts to see what actually happened. There is nothing wrong with us as a people.

Our history has also been heavily distorted. That is why I have to step in and tell people the truth.

Do people even know that when reports of the treatment of slaves in the west reached some groups like the Ashanti, they stopped trading slaves with Europeans Altogether. The British tried to force their hand by arming their neighbours, inciting conflict as they knew most slaves were prisoners of war..

Not to mention coastal areas where for years locals feared the sea. As Europeans would simply land and snatch up locals. Imagine your wife going to collect crabs and shellfish by the coast never to return..

Some historians have suggested even so called tribal marks became more common as a result of slavery. As an easy means to identify where people were from if they were freed, particularly children..

It is important we know our own history undistorted by foreigners....

Don't mind all these lazy youths. They prefer to just google and read the white mans account of their own history while ignoring everything else. These same people will claim nigerian slaves were docile and never tried to escape yet we know of the "Igbo landing" Even though the west has tried so hard to eradicate it and make it seem like a myth, we know it happened. Same way they are trying to paint africans as demons that we sold slaves as if we were the ones that built ships and loaded slaves aboard looking for buyers.

Lucifer66:
People will start condemning the white people forgetting that is our own black people that allowed and also sold some of our people.
Some Afonjas were among those people this why you can't trust a Yoruba man.
Take note, We're still technically slaves and lower than these white people who brought Christianity and atheism.
Use your brain!!!

Shame on you. Brainwashed Youth.
Let me ask you this :
Did Africans build boats and ships, put slaves on them and traveled to America and said, hey "Mr Whiteman, I have slaves for sale?"
This inferiority complex that lets you only listen/read about your history only from the same people that oppressed you is sad.
Let me educate you. The White is 100% responsible for the slave trade. Africans had to compromise or risk more deaths due to the advantage the white man had which was the "GUN". There are several accounts of how our brave ancestors fought back until they were subdued. Kings and Chiefs were killed and they had to compromise. At a point, they started selling bad people in society e.g those sent to local "jails" back then to avoid the white man from kidnapping innocent kids that strayed towards the beaches etc.

Do not rely on your history told by your Oppressors. They will make themselves look good and make you look bad even though they were the ones that oppressed. Instead of you to go to Badagry and see the chains and locks they used to put in our ancestors mouths and hands, you are here peddling false narratives. You are here spewing nonsense that we are the bad ones that sold our people instead of demonizing the people that built slave ships, tortured our ancestors and put them in unbelivable living conditions in the ship. They were lined up like sardines. Yet these are the people you worship. SHAME ON YOU.

Get well soon or RIP incase you are dead.

Nigerian workers are the most senseless set of people with 'na so i dey do am before' mentality.

They flaunt so many Safety rules while working. Wasn't he suppose to isolate that line at the transformer? Wasn't he suppose to LOTO the transformer area?

Well, Nigerians like to learn the hard way

Actually they do practice proper Lock out tag out in most cases. The problem is verification of isolation. The connections are made up in such a crazy manner that the only way to fully isolate the power source is probably to shut down the thermal station as well. You'd be surprised that someone else might have made an illegal connection elsewhere that prevented the line from being completely isolated. These guys work a very dangerous job and i feel sad for their families.

bettercreature:
You can’t really stop them and it has nothing to do with bad parenting
I fought my brother almost everyday for about 12 years just because he wanted to be called “Brother” which I disagree but now we are best friends
You just have to beat the Elder one anytime there is a fight between them there is no other solution

This is the kind of issue the OP has. Early enforcement prevents this. If you had been thought very early to call him brother, their would have been limited rebellion. He probably started asking for "brother" when you were already grown and in "rebellion" zone

OperaMini1:
Good day people.

IMy kids aged 8.5, and 6 years respectively, fight each other at the least provocation. They fight over who lies down where, who sits where in the car, who uses the toothpaste first, etc.

I came home yesterday and the elder (girl) had a bodily harm inflicted on her by the brother, and which is the second time she's getting a mark from him. As I write this now, they've been both grounded, since that yesterday, no watching of TV, no computer games, just sleep and wake up, eat and sleep again.

I'm not sure how long we'd do this, that's why I'm seeking suggestions on how to stop the fighting madness entirely, thanks.

Let me guess, the younger one calls the elder one by first name? That's where you goofed. Do not underestimate the power of "brother" "sister" "aunty" etc. Tell the boy to start calling the elder sister "Aunty or Sister .......The way yorubas do it. It creates an awareness and brings about respect. Now it is not 100% accurate because if you have "okiris" as children, they will do whatever they want regardless. Try this and thank me later.

ASPIREX:
To emigrate or not is the question here.

I need very mature advice and inputs as regards a situation I am trying to resolve.

In the last two yearsI have been thinking seriously about relocating my entire family abroad but I am still held back by indescision.

Just this afternoon I made a decision to throw it open on Nairaland Travel section. I am sure the mature contibutions that flow forth here will help me to a large extent to take a final decision on which direction the pendulum swings.

Please note that my wife is indifferent as per where we are. She just wants us to be together peacefully. She is also not a very ambitious person inthe ense thay she does not really aspire to be Folorunsho Alakija or Dangote's wife. She is very satisfied with being an average, comfortable upper middle class citizen anywhere in the world provided there is peace.

I am the money man with a lot of ambition and an undying aspiration to beat (or at least compete favourably with Aliko Dangote.

Unless you get a permanent resident card of whatever nation you choose before leaving Nigeria, DO NOT ATTEMPT IT. You will regret it. Stay in Nigeria. Out of the people that did what you are proposing only a select few made it/ended up being up. Some people can no longer see their families because either the husband was refused a visa to come back in or deported. You do not want to be an Illegal in any country. I repeat, FORGET IT. Only do it if you have permanent residency of that county/Immigrant visa before leaving Nigeria. You have been warned. There are Nigerian families that are homeless in various countries all over.

Did you not see the recent videos of families leaving the U.S, crossing over to Canada? Do not attempt it. Enjoy what you have in Nigeria. In Nigeria, you have family and friends that will take you in when katakata bursts. Abroad, you will be rendered homeless in less than 24 hours because everyone minds their own wahala.

bros that's what we call it here ..maybe u schooled in the village

Yes i schooled in the village. My village education taught me well. It is secondary school in Nigeria, not High school. Enough with the famzing. Americans don't call their SS1-SS3 senior secondary school so why are you attaching yourself to them. It is secondary school in Nigeria unless you schooled in America. It is not up for discussion, it's what the foooork it is. PERIOD.
