FSBoperator:Gabbage is that you? |
Helinuse:Waoh, you keep describing yasef perfectly! |
emkz:Is it appropriate to use the word “supremacy”? OK is different from Obidients, just as they are not the same as Kwankwansiyya and NDC. As the founder and leader of the party, expect Seriake Dickson to assert very strong authority on the party, knowing fully well that Obi is the major crowd puller and Kwakwanso has his own group there too. Yes, just as it was experienced during Tinubu’s first attempt in 2022, many groups sprang up, agreeing and disagreeing, but all having one goal…the Presidency. All the groups either directly or indirectly connected to NDC, have one thing in mind…the Presidency. So expect disagreements. Added to that, OK is not meant to serve just for 2023. It is supposed to remain until Kwankwanso becomes the President in 2031. To achieve that, Kwankwanso himself sees Obi as a very crucial factor for his victory. Whichever way he goes about his loyalty to Obi, becomes his problem. He needs to coordinate himself, his group, the Obidients, OK movement and other relevant groups to achieve his own victory in 2031. In all, OK movement has a central figure, whichever way we look at it and it is Obi. They all report to him whether physically or through established communication channels. |
Helinuse:You perfectly described yasef bro! |
Darkjudge24:Make we hear suntin abegii. How old man like you do go dey give kindergarten excuse? You don eat starch and banga to see road and comment? You even hear the guy making the video saying “una no even reach 50”. If the man popular small, you no go see people rush dey follow for back? Obi controls Delta state. |
Helinuse:The one vandalized by your people in Alakija and Ketu/Ojota, what do you think? I believe you will still vandalize them after repair works. |
ManirBK:We have a three great problems in this country presently. They are: - corruption - tribal sentiments - religious sentiments We must deal with those effectively to move this country forward. Great nations first conquer agriculture and security. We are not able to achieve all those. The reasons are already stated above. Trust us long gone. The Americans will continue to offer military cooperation and assistance as needed. Remember that these are agreements. Our government must now improve on what’s available presently: - ensure proper salaries - encourage the troops - ensure that military equipments are always available. - improve on vigilante with security agencies collaborating with local groups. - stop reintegrating terrorists into societies. Terrorists never change their ways. They o my understand the language of violence. - encourage citizens to provide vital information without fear - FG MUST ensure that herdsmen get themselves ranches and stay on their ranches. Once security improves, farmers can return to their lands. Agriculture will improve, with rural roads fixed for products to get to the markets and more citizens can find employment. |
89green:Young man, discuss with facts, clear reasons and ideas. Tell us if your country has benefitted or not. If not, in what ways did the USA fail. By the way, bear it in mind that it is the responsibility of your government to provide security for its citizens. So if your country asks for assistance because of one inadequacy or the other, it is not our of place. If you are worried that the USA chose to help out with Christian genocide in Nigeria, then you must be one of those who find peace with the killings happening. |
benardtotti:Then you are not a Christian. Do not play yasef wayo. |
SlavaUkraini:That’s the only religion where very beautiful women are covered from top to bottom, with their eyes appearing like sentry posts. The rich carry on normal lives, while the poor live in bondage. The rich send their children to the USA to enjoy freedom, while the poor allow their children to be sacrificed in the name of matyrdom. The only religion where they wear very expensive and beautiful dresses, gold and diamond chains, all covered from top to bottom in the name of religion. While covered completely, they are beaten up, taken to beaches, forced move around as slaves and never allowed to have a word in the affairs of their own lives, in the name of religion. Saudi Arabia is currently transforming in many areas. Meanwhile Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, North West Nigeria, all continue to live in the stone age. |
That’s how they boast until the reality stares them in the face. The election that made Sani the governor was backed by Buhari and El Rufai, and yet Atiku defeated Tinubu there. Now Buhari is no longer there and El Rufai is on the other side. Atiku scored 554,360 votes. Tinubu scored 399,293 votes. Peter Obi scored 294,494 votes. All in the Presidential election in an APC state in 2023. One man in Edo state promised 2.5 million votes, while his own election did not gather 500k. Na so so mouth u a go dey get. |
TheWebbers:Tell your leaders to be honest with themselves. You hear daily that bandits and terrorists have sponsors within the leadership. You heard Buhari clearly state that an attack against boko haram was an attack against the north. You cannot take up arms and get into the bush as a terrorist or herdsman to attack people in America, Europe or Asia. You can only do that in Yemen and Afghanistan. So if the Americans offer help, thank them. Ask you leaders to cut off corruption. Ask your leaders to pay soldiers the standard rates. Ask you leaders to stop nepotism. Also ask them to stop recycling bandits in the name of recruitment. Once a bandit is caught, there should be no sentiment. He or she must serve the required punishment as a lesson to others. |
ManirBK:Counter terrorism does not end with killing just one terrorist. Perhaps you thought only one terrorist was eliminated. You must know that the said terrorist was surrounded by his own group. Reaching him demanded that his terrorists group would be attacked and several members killed. What was very crucial was getting the prime target, which was achieved. Now you”ll wonder why just 200 soldiers were sent. Maybe you need to study events in Syria and how ISIS was eliminated. The Americans only sent a handful of soldiers. Their duty was training, logistics and technical backup. Syrian soldiers were trained to fight and they did it successfully. So you need to know that the Americans shared and going forward will share military cooperation with the Americans, with the sole aim of putting an end to terrorism in our country, supported by the likes of God1000 and that Freestuff guy. So in a little period, much easier achieved. Lastly, note that our leadership approached the Americans for military assistance. |
AlbertNewton:Well, it’s not that simple. Athletes come and go. Records come and go. Some records can be broken in a short time, while some may take ages to break. That new record may seem simple, but it definitely is not. Many factors play when records are broken: - the track - the physical condition of the athlete - those competing - the atmosphere - the wind - the drive - luck Short distances as this are never that easy. Tobi Amusan only needs to work harder. If the conditions stated above are met, she can do it. |
Tenses:That’s simply correct. There are we no issue until they assumed power in 2015. That was the most peaceful region known to the whole world. They used operation python dance to trouble innocent people, while failing woefully to address Fulani herdsmen who were invading farms and killing citizens on their farms, in their own communities. For years now, the normal very peaceful Christmas celebration has become a very big issue. This year, only God knows how long it will take to travel from Lagos to Edo state, not to talk of Delta north or across the Niger. Last Christmas, drivers had to leave at 12 midnight and some spent more than 24 hours going from Lagos to Onitsha. With what we are seeing so far this August, when will Benin bypass be fixed, not to talk of the stretch between Benin and Asaba. The whole of that road got destroyed while APC leadership was watching. If failed portions were gradually fixed, nobody would be lamenting today. |
Olatundex22:Which Naija spirit is that please? If it was a drug matter, will you hear “Nigerians run to aid”? It would be addressed as Igbo people as usual. Now something good has happened and it has become “Nigerians run to aid”. If it was ritual, will you hear “Nigerians run to aid”? Abeg make una carry the matter go far. The country has been so devastated by politicians to the extent that only a separation is needed. If you look at those soldiers, you’ll find one or two who killed the same Abia people for nothing. As for me, I believe that those who helped showed plenty of humanity, not as Nigerians, but simply as humans. They provided help. No soldier has the right to kill innocent citizens for nothing in their communities. Those who rescued them did not care about tribe or religion. They simply acted correctly. |
shoodboi2:Stop consoling yourself reading wrong news The news is not a secret. “Arvand Petrochemical said in a statement that all production had been taken offline because a heatwave had intensified power shortages in Mahshahr” “Ghadir Petrochemical also suspended production, citing electricity restrictions as well as a halt in its supply of chlorine feedstock, according to a statement”. Arvand Petrochemical and Ghadir Petrochemical issued their statements directly and separately. You are perhaps not happy that you did not hear that Iran bombed one innocent country or that America was getting destroyed by Iran. |
BlackViper:That’s the way to go. While this irresponsible young woman continues to fool herself, she found out the hard way that there are fathers who know how to treat their irresponsible daughters. That lady’s father made sure to cure his daughter of the madness. It is up to her to arrange her life. A close look will see the man supervising his daughter to make sure that she produces children of her own. Her father will definitely make sure of that. Have a good father and have a good life. This other irresponsible woman with her nose appearing like drainage pipes, can go on with her ways, deceiving herself and wasting her time, believing that she is having the best of life. Na later life go teach am hard lessons. |
HacheNoire:But you failed to define terrorism? You should have defined it first before you started. Where are the facts that you have to put any table? Is it true or not that Ayatollah Khamenei, the successor to Ayatollah Khomenei was killed on the first day of the war? Is it true or not that Ayatollah Khamanei 2, the son and successor of Ayatollah Khamenei 1, escaped the bombing on the first day, was heavily injured and now is indisposed? Is it true or not that Iranian army generals were despatched without delay? Is it true or not that Iran is incapable of proceeding with the efforts to acquire nuclear weapons, while Netanyahu remains the PM of Israel? Is it true or not that rather than target mainland USA, Iran cowardly targeted its neighbors out of jealousy, destroying their properties, in the name of destroying American bases? Is it true or not that Iran shut down the strait of Hormuz? Is it true or not that America responded by blocking all Iranian seaports, with vessels not being able to enter or exit? Is it true that Iranian leaders are masters of propaganda, saying one thing in the day and doing something else in the night? Is it true or not that while Iran and its proxies always run out of food and supplies, they never run out of ammunition that they use to terrorize the whole world? Is it not true that while the Americans single-handedly bombed Iran last month, the Iranian cowards could not dare fire a bullet at Israel, knowing that such would lead to the destruction of the Iranian leadership? Is it not true that Iranian rial now exchanges for two million to one dollar? Is it not true that Iranian economy is almost totally shattered, while the American and Israeli economies continue to thrive in war time? Is it not true that if given the opportunity to travel to either the USA or Iran, you will beg to travel to the USA, while completely ignoring Iran, even if the trip is for free? Is it not true that you all claimed that Hamas and Hezbollah would defeat the Israelis? Where are they now? Is it true or not that Pezeshkian and Ghalibaf are telling the irresponsible leaders to come to an agreement with the Americans to save their country from total collapse. Is it true or not that you just like to play yasef wayo? |
Great player during his time. Plenty of confidence with the ball. Well done! |
CJStarz:And even dressed in the manner that he appeared there. Truly, the judiciary is messed up. |
ErnestR:That’s where he was going all along. All that he fought against, according to him as an activist, have become the same things that he does. He’s been fighting the political class and now wants to become a member of the same political class. He’s transition is so speedy! Now he digs into family matters in the name of activism. Has this fellow not lost focus? It reminds me of the late Fela, who started a political party, banking on his strength as an activist. He called it Movement of the people. The same went for Tunji Braithwaite and Falana, who wanted to become the Governor Ekiti state. All of them who wanted to climb the ladder of political power on the platform of activism totally failed. |
Misterone:Simply show evidence that Nigeria is better now than it was in 2015 and you could not. I already gave you an insight from what we all experienced. Prove with facts please that the standard of living of Nigerians has improved. |
Misterone:Without Dangote refinery, where would you be today, Mr. Sabi Sabi? What do you know? Without Dangote refinery would you by now not be queuing and fighting for petrol? Maybe you just finished your secondary school education and you are not aware that NNPC and fuel marketers could not solve the lingering problem. Maybe you are not aware that Dangote refinery gave the FG the confidence to end fuel subsidy. |
chinchum:Sorry, but you APC supporters always pretend in the face of the truth. So you want to believe that Nigeria’s earning is overrated and other nations rake in more revenue than this country? “Saudi earns high foreign exchange from religious tourism…”. Those are your words, right. Now ask yourself where revenues from non oil exports go. Ask yourself who keeps the revenue from solid minerals. How much goes into the federation account? Have you ever asked for records? Who keeps money from Gold, Californium, etc? Have you asked yourself? What’s happening to lands taken over by herdsmen, terrorists and bandits? If such existed in Saudi Arabia, would the economy not be in shambles by now. Have you heard of pipeline vandalism in Saudi Arabia? Take a look at the below population of the countries listed below: 1. India: 1.45 to 1.47 billion 2. China: 1.41 billion 3. United States: 420 million 4. Indonesia: 287 million 5. Pakistan: 259 million 6. Nigeria: 242 million 7. Brazil: 212 million 8. Bangladesh: 175 million 9. Russia: 144 million 10. Ethiopia: 132 to 135 million Which of the countries listed above suffer what Nigerians suffer? India has the highest population worldwide, yet the prices of basics are stable year in, year out. Ask any Nigerian resident in India how much a bag of rice goes for. Ask how much one chicken goes for. Ask what quantity of tomatoes you can get in Nigeria’s equivalent of India’s forty rupees. Ethiopia has the biggest airline in Africa, in terms of size and revenue. It has diverse and abundant natural resources, including extensive water systems, arable land, and valuable mineral deposits. With that huge population, life is good in Ethiopia. Modern Dubai picked up in 1985, with what we all know today as Emirates airline and speedy development of the whole place. Nigerians have relocated there en mass to pick up residence, including our leaders. Our current leader is assumed to have a home in France and another in UK. Tell yourself the truth that the country has huge resources, but completely bifurcated by the political leadership. Nigeria does not have the problem of resources or revenue, but crooked leaders, supported by citizens who do not know the difference between their left and right. You term as “little”, the stealing of your so called few politicians and civil servants? If China and Singapore allowed that to happen, would there be a developed China and Singapore to enjoy today? EFCC just announced that a private jet was seized from an individual who used his position in the power sector to steal $30m. If only one person stole such amount, do you have an idea of what your few politicians and civil servants have stolen so far? Will that $30 not serve to establish many SMSEs for several citizens? Stop supporting such irresponsibility on the part of leaders. Nigeria produces close to 1.8 m barrels daily. Before now, were you not aware that about half or more was stolen? Aramco is the equivalent of Nigeria’s NNPC. How is ARAMCO able to drill alone? Do you know that there’s Saudi Arabian Chevron which operates and manages the Kingdom's share of onshore oil and petroleum production in the partitioned neutral zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. There’s HALLIBURTON that provides extensive drilling, completion, and unconventional gas development services and there’s SLB that handles large-scale reservoir characterization and drilling technology. There are other oil foreign firms operating in Saudi Arabia. Accountability is the keyword. How can this country’s revenue grow when there’s so much stealing, corruption and nepotism dominating the space? Be honest with yourself please. |
Helinuse:When people with no knowledge talk senselessly, who will tell them? When they take their meaningless talk to the public, who can help them? Has this fellow made any sense to himself? |
callmeDDD:If it was possible, Rufai Oseni would long have lost his job with Arise tv by Mr. Nduka Obaigbena. I assume that the tv station has severally come under threat over Oseni and the company advised to fire him. Oseni is more fiery than OPJ and the two never fear in the face of the challenges. I remember go slow vibes. He had complete confidence and control. Everyone wanted to listen to him in the evenings. He had plenty fans. He drew the attention of people to Wazobia fm. He was much better than Twi twi. I liked listening to him and Yaw. It is so sad. They made him irrelevant and I am sure that his health challenge, coupled with the earlier loss of his wife, weighed him down. APC with a leader who calls himself a democrat, is highly intolerant of criticisms. The same party that rose as an opposition, issuing all sorts of threats against dangerous threats against PDP and GEJ, has become highly intolerant of criticisms. May his family be comforted. |
Misterone:Please show evidence clearly that Nigeria is “far better” than in 2015. Without Dangote, would there be no fuel queues? Did the refinery project commence under an APC government? Please can you show us your “more road networks”? Or do you want to tag the coastal road “more roads”? Be reminded that before APC arrived with wayo in 2015, the national minimum wage was @ ₦18,000 calculated at $91 per month, based on the official exchange rate of ₦197 to $1 at the time. People shouted that it was too poor, as they fell for the APC gimmick. Go and look at the cost of other items then and ask yourself if that 18,000 was not far valuable than the present. Government was paying subsidy, right. A bag of rice was sold @6,900 - 8,500 depending on the brand and your location. Presently the minimum wage is @70,000 calculated at 52.1 per month, based on the official exchange rate of 1,342 presently. A bag of rice sells for between 55,000 and 100,000 depending on the brand and your location. Make your calculation and tell yourself the truth. With that amount, can you purchase a bag of rice, purchase other items for the household and pay your transport fare to work? Now no subsidy and purchasing power is further diminished. You pay salaries, yet your money appears like mere paper in your hands. “Inflation is a normal thing due to competition for scarce resources”. What a very simplistic view. Do have you asked yourself if truly the country has the challenge of scarce resources? Be honest with yourself. Nigeria is supposed to be a geographical power. Some of the qualities of such powers are it’s resources, human, geographical and natural. Is Nigeria short on any of the above? Some of you APC supporters should wake up from your slumber and tell yourselves the truth that APC saw to the degradation of this country. |
Ritchiee:That’s what APC used effectively in 2015 to unseat GEJ and finally lead the citizens to poverty. All the promises failed completely. They were absolutely lies and deceit to attain power. One minister said electricity was not rocket science while he was a governor. When he became the minister for power, he proved that it was science fiction. Tinubu promised to drop exchange rates and petrol to the lowest minimum. Nigerians were bamboozled. Today, they give us one story or the other. A nation with such God give resources and yet corruption within leadership hinders growth. |
LZAA:How Loan Sharks Operate in China Informal and Shadow Banking: Unlicensed moneylenders fill gaps for small businesses and individuals who struggle to secure loans from strict, state-regulated traditional banks. Digital and App-Based Schemes: Many illegal operations use mobile apps and digital platforms to issue high-interest short-term loans, sometimes charging extreme annual percentage rates. Coercive Tactics: Cyber loan sharks have utilized extreme collateral demands, such as "naked loans" (luotiao) requiring female college students to send nude photos as security, using the images for blackmail if payments default. Government CrackdownsLaw Enforcement Actions: Chinese authorities have launched major nationwide campaigns targeting organized crime, illegal online apps, and predatory lending rings. Stiff Penalties: Police have arrested tens of thousands of suspects, and courts have handed down severe sentences—including life imprisonment—to leaders of violent extortion and illegal loan syndicates. The legal limits China places on interest rates (such as the judicial red line on private lending) |
twilliamx:That’s an old picture by the way. After that he made a donation to them. That food was paid for by him too. |
omenka:You wey get something downstairs, show how far with your life na? Shishi you no get. Pesin you no be. |
