PoliticsRe: Suspected EFCC Selective Prosecution: Nigerians Call Out EFCC, List Names by ElevationD: 2:06pm On Nov 12, 2024
DomPerignon:
The cashless law was passed because of thieves like Obi who were ferrying government funds in government car convoys with police protection from government house Awka to Peter Obi's private business office in Lagos .

Facts!
But you quickly forgot that bullions vans were filmed driving into a famous compound in Ikoyi, that you are aware of.

And unfortunately for you those caught by the policy were APC members. Was it that they were thieves with very bad ideas or the policy was too difficult for them to beat?

By the way, do you know that it takes a thief to identify one? Maybe you are a thief too and that has enabled you identify others.

Well done. Hand go soon touch you sef!

This vicious evil man must be found and extradited to the USA for prosecution and appropriate sentencing. This cannot be an issue with his mental health. If he has such issue, he’s not know how to flee to Nigeria.

Wetin im dey find up and down?

Now jokes aside, it’s so disheartening/heart wrenching reading such stories.

We live in a country blessed with so much resources, yet we suffer so level of human indignity, caused by very poor leadership.

Too many Nigerians have found themselves in this situation of begin-again. The man wasted five years in search of an elusive better life abroad.

We must rise to ensure that only good leaders are elected into position of power. We must only elect leaders who are truly willing to make our societies better.

Hopefully the man is able to move on and get better things to sustain him and his family.

TJOS:
Some thieves break into homes to either steal food or find small gadgets to sell so they can eat. We should anticipate an increase in this behaviour in the South West, as well as more individuals joining terrorist groups in the North. Additionally, we can expect to see more armed men in the East until the economic turmoil caused by the current administration is resolved.
So you do not anticipate armed men or terrorists in the South west and some thieves to break into homes in the North and East to steal food and small gadgets?

Na you biko.

Righthussle:
Others would still not learn. The gods that was introduced to us by our slave masters and colonisers are fake.


When you consider the vastness and complexity of the universe, it becomes clear that whatever force or being is responsible for its existence could never need anything from anyone.

Stop giving your hard-earned money to those who claim to speak for a higher power. The creator of the universe, if such an entity exists, would never need your money for anything.

Anyone who collects money "on behalf" of an unseen being is a thief. You don't need a judge to tell you that.

Anyone who gives money thinking they’re giving it to the creator of the universe is being deceived.

If someone claims to work for the creator of all things, they’re working for themselves. Eventually, they'll ask you to support their "all-powerful" god with your finances. The force behind the universe isn't like a person who needs workers or money to function.

Any god that asks for money is nothing more than a common thief.
The same people who introduced the so called “gods”, introduced the same car that was stolen. The same people introduced cars that you ride in. They introduced the type of house that you reside in and all the amenities that make life easy for you. They introduced the phone in your hand that you use to communicate with and insult them. The introduced drugs and medical science that protects your life and keep you going. Infact, you beg to travel to their countries to get a better life.

Do you not see the hypocrisy in your comment. Why not ask your “force behind the universe” to return you to that age 500 years ago, where suffering and hardship were the order of the day and people had to rely on donkeys, horses and camels to go on journey?

If the people hand over their money, if their own volition to your assumed thief, how does that affect you?

Na do una go dey talk of wetin una no know anything about.

If it protects their country, then it’s fine.

In our own country, ISIS invades and gets swaths of lands. Boko haram maintains swaths of lands. Fulani herdsmen from Mali, Congo, and everywhere invade and remain, including inviting a new group of invaders called Lakurawa. If our leaders cannot protect our borders, should we expect Trump to do it for us?

All the above must be done immediately.

RomanceRe: Relocated Back To The East Now I Am Regretting It. by ElevationD: 9:03am On Nov 11, 2024
Goodlyhrt:
Because of the hardship that I faced in my business back in Ajegunle. I thought it was wise to close shop and relocate back to where I came from. But I found out that I was so wrong because it is as if I am starting all over again.

I used to manage a small business, with a base of customers that I've built over the years and still building with all the familiarity in my circle as a go to guy for computer repairs and ICT equipments and as an instructor. I was a household name in my small locality and people respected me for it.

But now i ain't got no more of that. I am now in a place where people don't understand how big I am like I have to start all over again; getting employed and working my way up the ladder again. Because truly I don't have the funds to start up a small business again like it is so debasing.

After falling out with upto 3 bosses in just one year I don't think I can work under anybody again especially with the meagre pay.

My case right now is upto God to fix me something to do because I am really tired.
Did you not make a plan before venturing out of your safety area?
Did you not ask questions about opportunities and possibilities before venturing away?
Did you expect to become a millionaire overnight because you have computer repair as your skill?
Did you not expect to meet competition or people better than you in the same business?
Do you know that there’s a word called “patience” in business, especially with your appearance now as a starter?
Did you not know that it took time for those that you met to build their businesses?
Do you understand the words “swallow your pride” and stay with a boss for a while.
Do you think that you will become an instant success in Ajegunle where you left in pains?
You used the words “manage a small business”. It means that you were just getting by. Did you expect to meet bush people or complete illiterates in your (village) when you relocated?

There are too many questions to ask and talk about sir.

How would moving back to Lagos benefit you? Won’t you become a starter once again, needing to get an accommodation and a space to work. Can you afford them all.

If you are getting some payments, can you not work to build yourself and build your business, along with people of great minds where you presently are located?

Obi built a branch and not the bank.
Ask Chief Jim Nwobodo about Savannah bank. He was the majority shareholder and known then as the owner, just as the Sarakis were known as the owners of the defunct Societie general bank.

Reno is right. Savannah Bank was founded in 1980 and I can still remember their advert jingle on TV.
Savannah bank was incorporated in 1960 and listed on the floor of the Nigerian stock exchange in 1985.

You may also ask about Mr. Jim Nwobodo and why OBJ was accused of politically closing the bank of Nwobodo, was was his then party member is the PDP.

Reno is a fool.

Savannah bank was established in 1988. Go and check the records.

Obi is a liar and a fraud.
Savannah bank was established in 1960, Olodo.

Read the below and close your childish mouth:

https://www.businessjournalng.com/savannah-bank-dead-or-alive/?amp=1

If Obi, who before the reckless closing down of SBN said that he built a branch, who are you to claim otherwise and call him a liar? Little rats like you should shut your mouths and learn. Learn to search effectively if you choose google. You may also ask those who were around in those years for information.

If you are asked to tell us the records that you talked about, there’d be nothing to tell us by you.

How you tag someone a “fraud” shows how mannerless and shallow minded that you are. How would you feel if you are called a fraudulent person and a thief?

Case ended.

Transaction completed in 2010 and plaintiff waited for eleven years to go to court?

That smirks of greed and waste of time!

In his asset declaration that year, Alamasiegha was said to state only a parcel of land in Okokomaiko, a generator and his wife’s business in Lagos Island. In the three years or so that he served, he appeared to strip Bayelsa state. Looking at such property purchased with public funds, can we not safely say that OBJ was right to have pursued him?
PoliticsRe: Edo Governor Obaseki Is In Lagos; He Didn’t Flee Nigeria As Claimed By Gov-elect by ElevationD:
lordm:
What's he doing there. He should be in the state he governed so well
He’s entitled to his freedom of movement as enshrined in the constitution.

Ayo Fayose was haunted by EFCC while he was still the governor and had immunity. He asked them to wait until he vacated. Three days later, he took his little bag and personally reported to EFCC and the rest became history.

Obaseki is entitled to go wherever he wants in Nigeria. A clear conscience fears no accusation.

We do not expect any better governance in Edo state, with APC in power there. We are of the opinion that Obaseki played his part and he’s leaving. Okpebolo should organize himself and get to business. But first he must sort out the matter with the courts.

Get out of here you rude fellow. If you have no manners, you may take some lessons in decorum. Others commented with decency and there you are showing off your foolishness and lack of decency.

If not for your foolishness, you’d clearly understand my genuine concern that such saloon cars are not wide enough, at first impression, to carry such load. Someone up there used the word “modified” to clarify my line of thinking and that simply sorted out the doubt that I originally innocently expressed.

Granted that rice is smuggled everyday, but the allegation seems to be exaggerated.

I do not agree that each car can carry 65 bags of rice. If Soyombo said mini trucks, then that would be understandable. Did he make an error or he did not understand it all?

Hopefully this APC government can allow rice import once again, so that the price of rice can reduce in the markets.

Tellmeastory:
If you cared so much about the ''sliding quality of life in Nigeria'', you wouldn't support someone in such a high position abroad telling lies and exaggerations about the country that will scare away investors, tourists, etc.

Or do lizards fall out of your taps like she claimed?
Do lizards, cockroaches and rats not fall out of taps? If you have never noticed, then take notice today. They fall out of taps in our country. With dry taps, they find their way in there to rest. When water gushes out, they flow out with water. Go and check, or ask those who know to inform you. Perhaps you reside on Babana Island and you are not aware.

Is Nigeria not a “ living hell”, as categorized by the woman? With citizens unable to get basics anymore. With herdsmen, boko haram, IPOB, dangerous highways, horrible roads and infrastructures, citizens hurrying to relocate through Libya, etc, how can the country not be described in such manner please? With the relentless looting of public treasury by leaders and uncontrollable impoverishment of the citizens by leaders, how else should she have described the country please?

A place where you “walk one mile to get running water”. Is that incorrect? Go around some communities in the country and hear from those resident there.

You are not more Nigerian than those who want to see a better country. FFK presently has a case of corruption that is taking eternity to conclude. If he wanted a proper country in the first place, he should not have been involved with corruption, as presently alleged against him.

Aside from the issue of reparation, her words concerning the country are undeniable.

Look at our highways. Travel between Shagamu bypass and Ijebu Ode and you will feel nothing but disgust about the leaders of this country. With all the huge allocations, how are Nigerians wallowing in such misery and hardship? When will it end? If the likes of Kemi Bardenoch say such words, then our leadership must pick up the challenge of making the nation better.

“I grew up in Nigeria, and I saw first hand what happens when politicians are in it for themselves, when they use public money as their private piggy bank, when they promise the earth and pollute not just the air, but the whole political atmosphere with their failure to serve others. I saw what socialism means for millions: poverty and broken dreams,” - (Kemi Badenoch).

Is the above also not correct with the current realities in the country. Even Abike Dabiri admitted this truth and responded that they were working on it.
