Sad to say, but black people are not ready to understand the system.

And there is a system.

You don't see Jewish people being killed left, right and centre. It's not because people like Jews - Afterall, there was a holocaust.

You don't see police killing Indians the way they kill blacks either.

You don't see them killing Chinese. Infact, a Chinese looking man(can't confirm) appeared to be an accomplice in the murder of that dude....and all this in USA which is more or less at war...with China!

The reason you don't see all these killings isn't because Jewish people protest pass. It's because of organised money.

These ethnicities: The Jews, the Indians, that Chinese, they all pool their money together within their communities and then use it to buy access to the corridors of power where they lobby power to favour their interests.

Theres enough wealth in African-America where they can also begin to lobby power, but they dont.

Imagine Trump making a solid argument that he did more for black people than Obama. How did black people let that happen? What are black interests?

I promise you if a Jew was killed the way that man was killed, the police commissioner would have received some phonecalls from high places, before it even hit the news

The time for protesting, kneeling, singing negro spirituals, and all other forms of shalaye is very much in the past with Dr King.

Now is the time for organised money. The problem is, do the blacks with money really think black lives matter?

Capernick that knelt is even half white. His fully dudu colleagues left him to rot on his own.

Jay-z seens to be the only one publicly buying into the idea of organised money.

Most other black celebs and wealth owners are acting in exactly the same way a typical black person would act - as far e no touch me, e no consign me.

That's a major reason why I feel BLM is a joke. I mean just look how successful it's been.

I agree!

They can protest all they want but if the blacks in high positions refuse to do anything for their fellow blacks, the protests won't have any considerable impact. Those are the ones that can make things happen. There are rich powerful blacks, there are blacks in the police force, there are blacks in Washington and the Senate. They should do something for their people.

It could be. It could also be that the existence of one evil doesn't mitigate or justify the existence and increased spread of another.

True

afrodoc2:
You are missing the point. This is not about blacks killing blacks or even whites just killing blacks.

It is about armed, trained, and government backed groups I.e the police seemingly going around and targeting men because of their skin color.

The men are not allowed by law to run away, fight back, or resist. They are sitting ducks and meant to just sit there and take whatever comes their way.
And this is coming from the police that is meant to protect them.

The average white guy sees a police car on a dark street and immediately feels safe. The average African-American in the same situation immediately feels his life might be in danger.

That should not be the case.

Hmmm it's unfortunate that we have blacks in privileged positions in the police and government but they're not doing anything about it

Unlimited22:
Some days ago, there was an argument here that referenced racial profiling and violence against blacks in the USA.
I usually steer clear of political, religious and ethnically charged arguments as they usually involve more emotions than common sense.

However, in recent days, the cases of Ahmaud Arbery, Christian Cooper and now George Floyd simply buttress the argument of a particular line of reasoning.

As Will Smith said, racism isn't increasing. It's just getting filmed.

May the deceased RIP.

Could it be that blacks killing blacks don't get as much press time as this?

larride:
@eph.12 you mean we should not talk about this?

Remove the log in your eyes first. This impossible?

larride:
Lol. Anything not to hold PDP and his goons responsible for their failed phcn privatization.

The fact of the matter is that Malami engaged Trobell to recover debt from IOCs based on the PS arrangement on behalf of the FG. Buhari ordered termination of the contract when he learnt that the FG will be paying Trobell a 5% commission for their job and ordered that the DPR and FIRS should do the job.

Did FG pay Trobell a dime? NO.
Was the contract terminated by Buhari? Yes

But no, let’s use that as a basis not to talk about the sham privitalization done by GEJ as confirmed by the ex EC of NERC.

And I’m the party man.

Biko defend PDP with your chest, no one will beat you here.

Can FG terminate the contract without any sort of compensation?

I will ignore those your party man and PDP yarns. I do avoid discussing these issues because of this. I have not defended PDP or Jonathan, neither did I approve any of his actions, but you will only feel better if this discussion is APC vs PDP lol

airmark:
Wetin Rufai do past Enyeama?

Nothing really. Just that he played with Rufai, I'm not sure he played with Enyeama. Rufai won the Africa nations cup, same as Enyeama. He was quite good too. Just wondering why he will pick Enyeama

larride:
No. They are not comparable. The issue raised was the 5% commission Malami agreed to pay the company and that’s the reason Buhari ordered for the termination of the contract.

1. The contract was signed by Malami as the Minister of Justice and Trobell International Limited. The contract came as a result of a Supreme Court consent judgement to go after those unremitted product sharing contract revenue.

2. When Buhari heard that the Malami entered a contract with Trobell to recover debt from IOC, he ordered him to terminate the contract and ask why the Department of Petroluem Service and FIRS can’t work on the debt recovery themselves. He even questioned how they arrive at the 5% commission to be paid.

Whether they are registered as a debt recovery company or not, I don’t know and I have read nothing of such.

Now back to the power issue, I wish I know how to search thread on Twitter, I will have sent you the link to the series of thread Sam Amadi, The Former Executive Chairman of NERC wrote power the privitalization of the those discos and gencos and how it will cost the FG billions of dollars to revoke their license.

Why do you think the Discos have been rejecting power sent to them, failed to issue meters to customers, non compliance to EPSRA and the likes. Do you know how many times this FG has threatened to revoke their licenses? You know why they haven’t done it till date? Because it will cost Billions of dollars to do so.

That’s the kind of power sector this admin inherited. A failed privitilization.

The fact is that buhari government went into an agreement with a company that's not registered as a debt recovery company, neither any records of debt recovery by that company. Buhari government agreed to pay 5% which is equivalent to over 2b dollars. This happened, yes?

Okay Buhari asked that the contract be revoked but his instruction wasn't carried out for 6 months. Tell me who was sacked for this gross insubordination? Malami is still out there defending the deal o. You see why I can't talk about the past government when this is happening right now

Ibime:
Finidi is right about Super Eagles all time 11. No Kanu

Enyeama ahead of Rufai?

larride:
Now relate this with the electricity deal where they sold our discos to those who have no prerequisite knowledge of the industry and revoking their license will cost the government billions in dollars.

This trobell company in question is not registered as a debt recovery company. It was reported that there's no history of debt recovery by trobell before they were contracted to recover over 50b dollars. You see the relationship?

larride:
Sorry o eph, do you actually understand that post you quoted?


Which company did this administration contracted to recover stolen debts? Let’s know the company name and when the FG revokes their contract?

The late Abba Kyari gave the contract to a company and when Buhari asked for it to be revoked, the late COS didn't relay the message for 6 months. I'm sure you saw the story on Twitter. Everyone had a good laugh na. When I come across it again I'll post it here

larride:
Sam Amadi who was the Former Executive chairman of NERC said it on Twitter that those GEJ administration sold those gencos and discos didn’t have the required expertise.

It was a free for all laugh on Twitter that day.

The FG cannot even revoke their license for non performance or else they will pay billions in litigation.

What about the company that was contracted by this administration to recover stolen money or debts? Was it free for all laugh on Twitter the day it was reported that they are suing FG for revoking their contract too? Lol

Only Olu Okeowo's mansion and garage in parkview, Ikoyi will change expert mind

airmark:
If they tried to reach me the way Bala did, and i am a multi-millionaire like Kelechi, i won't ignore them.

He paid for Kelechi during those days, so i will say he showed he cared for him.

What if they paid for each other other during those days? He didn't sponsor Kelechi.

You don't need to wait for them to try to reach you before you repay all the ps2 money they paid for you and the ball you guys played together

Expert17:
Just take it that way,

Yoruba and Hausa are the richest

LMAO

na him "we ride together, die together" attitude I like.

Bad boys for life.

If you haven't already, we will soon a post from your condemning Buhari on this issue

donjazet:
You can't make assumptions about their relationship.
You can only judge from the story you have seen, and the description given shows one of very close young Friends.

He even has a picture of themselves playing together. So most likely they knew themselves.

I played street football with people I didn't know their first names. What are you talking about?

odizeey:
This is why I like buhari. All him padi dey chop d govt. While southerner dey shout nobody owes you anything.
There is a reason why you made it big. You are the one God wants to use to help the others.

If Joseph had said, "I no owe my wicked brothers", na another story we for hear today.
Fink abourit.

Lol so you like Buhari now?

airmark:
It shows they were good friends then. So this is not just a random friend from nowhere, that you guys wanted to paint him.

Lol first of all where did you see paint? Are you still friends with some people you were very good friends with back in the days? Would Bala have cried out if Kelechi is not as wealthy and popular as this?

airmark:
Most of you guys will always focus on what's in front of you and not remember the past.

I read where the Bala guy said they went together to get fruits in the bush. Where he paid for him, watching matches and playing ps2 games. If the stories are right then they were really close friends back then.

What made Kelechi not to show him love? If the guy didn't do him anything bad along the line, Kelechi was not fair to him.

I believe Kelechi also paid for the guy's ps2 games and some other things at some point. Or are we now saying Bala sponsored Kelechi?

Segedinho:
Yah,and this made the guy very sad

imagine kelechi wasnt famous,i believe he would have responded.

It is a sad story anyway,that picture he uploaded broke my heart though.

I'm not famous and I do ghost most of my friends from way back.

Lol what's there to break your heart in that picture?

Segedinho:
Some of una no just get chill for anybody at all

To me,buddies are very important and have a great part to play in my life.

Getting in touch with them at any available opportunity isnt a bad idea.

Stretching a helping hand to them when i have more to give will even make me more satisfied.

There are memories that are so important that it becomes bad forgetting/abandoning the person involved

The only issue I see here is if Kelechi has refused to keep in touch in spite of this guy's effort

Victornezzar:
Not really

At least make out time to see him.... Some people don't need your money at all

Many friendships have ended naturally, mostly from people changing location and all. This is no different. Because Kelechi is in plenty money, this friend is trying to make something out of it. If Kelechi wasn't this successful, we probably wouldn't hear anything

iamoyindamola:
That's not loyalty bros, it's friendship
Everyman for himself

I even thought he jumped in front of a bullet for him

Victornezzar:
Dude has all the rights to rant if he has been a loyal friend to Kelechi...

There's supposed to be a reward for being a loyal friend?

Of course, I am in support of community policing. There has to be an arrangement that works. We can still have a federal police like the FBI while states take charge of their respective internal security through the local government.

Yeah exactly what I am saying. And the constitution should be clear about the separation of power. People shouldn't have to police communities far from their families. The police for every area should be people that are familiar with that area and everyone knows them there including their wives, children, church, mosque etc.

ToyinDipo:
Like it was stated here, the problem of Nigeria is not the leaders, but the Nigerians from whom a fraction of them becomes part of the leaders.

If you grant power to an average Nigerian he will misappropriate it, which is likely going to happen with community policing.
My own gross in all these, is that no one should make a non-performing government seem like not.
A party that can't even put itself in order, and a president who can't put his family in order.

What we should be trying to do is strengthen the system. A strengthened system will prevent abuse of power
