In Nigeria, whenever there is an accident, it is agberos and passers by that confirm people dead and not doctors.

Hope you read the post. He wouldn't have been taken to the morgue, had the the medic not declared or confirmed him dead, note this. God showed him mercy.

If true, he should just repent and get closer to Him. Its a rare opportunity. He'd have been chilling in the morgue by now after applying formaldehyde by the mortician on him to harden his body.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. This is very unfortunate and disrespectful. Sometimes, when I read disparaging comments that diminish the dead like this, I just wish people who type comments like yours live for ever and don't die.

Then Prince Agbabiaka was a prominent figure in the royal family and when he was chosen and crowned among all the others, he became the Kabiyesi to all and sundry including those who contested the post with him.

He reigned for about 20 years and if he's not the choice, he would not have enjoyed the support of the people. You even indicted yourself by suggesting that there's one who is meant to be when it's not the position of Olubadan.

After Oba Goloba passed on, there was no rancor in the selection of Oba Agbabiaka, it's our prayers and hope that the process through which the next Kabiyesi will emerge will be peaceful and rancor free too.
Aworiland just lost a very prominent Kabiyesi. Be sensitive nau.

You can't tell the lagos story as an outsider better than us. Google is your friend. The one who was supposed to be installed was sidelined. Meanwhile, i didn't make any bad comment about the late oba, it was a recap, which was a fact.

May his soul rest in peace. After death, is judgement for everyone.

damola1:
Why so young ?

One of those Tinubu's boys installed during his tenure as governor. The one who was to be genuinely installed was sidelined. He's still alive and well. We dey see things for Lagos. Anyway RIP to him.

immortalcrown:
Even Madam 40 seconds? Could it be that Churchill likes the boreholes? 😀

My question is, what exactly is bad about Obi's donation of boreholes? Don't the beneficiaries need the boreholes? What exactly is bad about it? If you attack my comment without mentioning exactly why the boreholes donation is bad, you are mentally-deranged.

If you suggest that Burna Boy and Davido should use their money to help the poor instead of spending the money on cars and jewelleries, fools will remind you that Burna Boy and Davido are not the government. The fools will say you should not tell a rich man how he should spend his money.

But the same fools act as if Obi is the government. The same fools try to tell Obi how he should spend his money. OBO allegedly gave orphanages 30 million Naira and there is no physical evidence of it for the public. Those who asked for evidence were informed that OBO owes nobody any explanation. But those people demand explanations for Obi's donation of boreholes. When the government does a substandard project and you criticise it, online thugs will say "We are getting there, it is a gradual process". In fact, they will insist that the substandard project is ultramodern. But the same thugs are condemning the boreholes Obi donated. Double personality disorder.

If Obi provides water in Enugu, his haters will still say he is helping only his own tribe.

Let him do his things without minding the critics.

Who is Tonto? I blame those who made her popular

phemray:
What I can't really understand is why people complains at everything in Nigeria rather than focus on a good governance.

You do well, complain. You no do well, complain. But always supporting the people that really caused the dollars to go up. Curruption in Nigeria is too much and only the people that complain are the ones not benefitting, once they belong, then they are quite, that is not good .

I'm not complaining and what I said is the reality. I can't join them to corrupt myself as well. We all can't be the same in our thinking.

Had tinubu brought the fx below where buhari left it, I'd have applauded him...that's a change. You can't cause a problem and people will be applauding you for fixing it

Ajalalomo:
574 days! That’s like one and half years. I believe I saw around 140 days when I checked it last year November, but is currently showing 160 days for applications submitted in Nigeria.

You're right. The date dropped significantly mid November when i applied. I saw something like 140 days too.

godslead:
Good day everyone. Please can I use a Naira (visa) card to pay for Canadian online visa application fee? I actually tried and it showed declined I want to know if its a network issue,bank related issues or outright " it can not be used!". Please be kind with your response I cry easily. God bless you.

Get a virtual card from bitnob. You'd
credit your naira account with them and they'd convert it to usd for you. Your account will be verified within 24 hours and you can pay your visa fee seamlessly with the virtual card.

Localemperor:
" Edo no be Lagos", and Ize Iyamu bad publicity won them the election. Shaibu can't pull any weight.

Okay oo

Localemperor:
Lol Shaibu is not a political heavy weight

He is, most especially in Edo North. Maybe he's not in Edo central. He used to be oshio baba's boy, still beat him and won the zone for the pdp. Its Obaseki that's not a political heavyweight. He would have lost that 2nd term election if not for shaibu's efforts.

He thought he'd pay him back with the ticket but as the man in power, he looked the other way and pick Ighodalo in his place. Obaseki isn't a strong politician. Go and watch the campaign clip. You'd understand better.

No life jacket worn?

Which faith ? If you can't bring down the dollar rate below the 702 naira, where buhari left it, just drop it to the same amount. We can do without your givernment.

Naira got to 1,700 under your watch, it now dropped to about 1,200 and your ignorant followers were busy applauding you for improving on the same blunder that you committed, which had sent a lot of Nigerians to their early graves with millions sleeping on empty stomach, many Muslim faithfuls broke fast on empty stomach. It doesn't make sense

MMWandali:
Obi has done well with the numerous private donations and goodwill
let those criticizing him show their own donations

Simple

Localemperor:
Make una free Shaibu abeg, Baba head don full. E no easy for Shaibu

I see Shaibu working against the pdp in his region. This I've seen

Edo apc won't masturbate over omobayo with a yoruba name now, it's Olumide Akpata that is their nightmares

Lol. Critics are at it again. If I were asked to choose a good one, I'd go for that of Perer Obi of course and the reason is simple. The corper tried but I foresee danger ahead as a result of the positioning of the tank.

Peter Obi's tank was placed on a solid foundation, a cemented stand while the corps member's tank is on a wooden planks which can collapse once the wooden planks become weak. It could cause bodily injuries to innocent children who may lean in the tank while fetching water .

The tank could also fall on people around and kill them. The tank could burst due to the possible impact when it hits the ground and the community will be without water again.

I love PO's strategy which suggests to me he's following elrufai's instructions. Elrufai once said, if you want to be lagos governor, begin grassroots campaigns as soon as election is won, do that for 4 years and you'd unseat the godfather ( Tinubu) in Lagos.

From day one, I didn't join others to attack Elrufai given his great strides in Kaduna and as FCT minister in those days. Anyone who has visited the state will know. My problem with him is his stubbornness and unguarded utterances. They said he's the sponsor of bandits in KD and now that he's no more in power, they're reinforcing.. if he can run woth PO, Nigeria will be better for it.

FreeStuffsNG:
“The visa itself costs $25, but Nigeria charges a $20 ‘processing fee’ and $170 for biometrics every time. My fingerprints haven’t changed since I was here three weeks ago. Why am I paying $170 to have them taken and to pose for a picture each time I visit? Isn’t that a standard part of admitting someone into a country?

“I love Nigeria, but the visa situation is showing me shege. It’s too much oo! Why this Shege Pro Max?”

Larry Madowo made some valid points and it's refreshing that we can get this kind of civil and intellectual feedback.
Thank you Larry for sharing this feedback with love.
Unpatriotic elements, criminal cyberbullies and trolls, take note of how you can make your point without committing criminal defamation and cybercrime.


We need more investors and investments in Lagos and we want Nigeria to be the top destination for Africans and non Africans alike for travel, investment, work, pilgrimage, leisure and permanent relocation to mother Africa by our brothers and sisters who desire to reconnect with their African roots in Ile-Ife Odaaye ( The Source) where creation began.

There's always room for improvement in our processes and the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not claim to know it all. Please give your feedback and criticism in a constructive, intelligent and civil way like Madowo just did with facts and figures with no insult and/or criminal cyberbullying. It's always a delight to watch Larry on CNN, absolutely brilliant and courteous professional who makes me proud to be an African each time I watch his news casting, journalistic report presentations and when he conducts interviews on CNN with African artists, techpreneurs, trendsetters etc .

May God bless Nigeria and the African continent. Check my signature for free stuffs!

They're seriously looking for investors truly. That fee is weird. Check out Canadian and usa visa fees before you counter this.

God over everything. Power is transient. I can't believe this

Richtaiwo:
Which Allah is he talking about? Is it the same Allah that his unintelligent sheeples have called so many despicable names and insulted as wide as their mouths could go? Gringory, if you like memorise the Quran today, you will never be president. Know this and know peace.

prophet of god has spoken. Someone who can't even predict what will happen in the next minute is bragging that someone won't be president. Mtcheew

socialmediaman:
N30 billion just within a few months in office, from a single minister, out of over 1,300 ministries, departments and agencies.

If they had converted the money to USD, what do you think would've happened to the price of naira?

Still, you think the citizens are to blame for the price of the USD to Naira.

Still, you think your government can't afford to provide subsidies for electricity generation.

Still, you think your government is doing well with managing the economy

Beta Edu was Akpabio's SPV when he was governor. If Nigeria were a serious country, that money laundering case Akpabio is having with the efcc would be investigated more deeply. Beta Edu can be traced to those laundered akwa ibom funds as a first-class courier. Apc is a super and systematic corrupt party. That interior minister should be relieved but I doubt. Party of thieves. I just pity those defending them, despite their life being mortgaged before their very eyes by those they're dying for.

Sharia is a scam. I remember that useless former governor in the north who asked that a poor girl be stoned to death during obj era but was seen in a hotel with 3 harlots, with one of them secretly filming him when he was dressing up and picking his clothes one after the other from the bed. He ended up in the senate and spent decades before he died recently.

He first denied the viral video allegation when approached by the press. After seeing the video, he now said he's entitled to his privacy. Nonsense.
A poor boy will steal a goat and you'd ask him to choose a preferred limb to be cut off, as if he's an animal. But same leaders will steal dollars openly and nobody dares say pim

This is definitely going to be a 25 to 30-year project and a lot will be embezzled in the course of it. If the lagos-ibadan highway which is less than 200km could take 9 years to do( and still not yet completed) despite being an existing highway, where demolition hasn't carried out, then this one won't be finished anytime soon.

Juliusganduje:
Obi, wherever you go is where we Nigerians will go. Any party or candidate you choose is the choice of Nigerians. We dey your back gidigba

Say it loud!!!. I've learned a lot a about this man called Obi. The first time I met him was in 2016 when he was seen with his brief case, a newspaper underneath his armpit as he walked away from his economy seat on the plane, straight to his SUV, no police escorts, no orderlies. I had jammed him on a couple of occasions since then.

He wasn't even known by many, as of that time except a few loudspeaker like Reno Omokri and Adeyanju who both said Obi would make a good president if given the opportunity in the future. But because of what they'd eat and political relevance, they suddenly saw Obi as thwhr enemy. PP, respite having enough momey to buy a private jet, he remained humble and inculcated the habit of giving.

How can someone own 3 private jets amd you'd expect him to.salbage Nigeria? No be juju abi comedy be dat?

CountinBlessins:
We really need to learn to be patriotic and favour our Nigerian companies and goods . If you like patronize these foreign companies for over 20.yeaes they don't respect you or see you more than just a Nigerian. They will favour and respect their own citizens more than you.

Learn to patronize and support Nigerian companies

I remember the long lay over experienced by an uncle in the UK some years back on his way to JFK. BA only gave Britons and EU nationals free one night hotel accommodation with buffet dinner ticket and abandoned Nigerian passport holders inside Heathrow for several hours. Our problem is leadership. Once we get it right, other things will fall in line. Imagine the Nigerian Air joining the league. Tickets would have been so cheap

helinues:
It's an open market

No one is frustrating anyone .

Air peace should have made proper consultation with other airlines before splashing the average airline ticket to UK.

Win win for the travellers as the airlines would drag themselves to the extent of free falling the price .

Modified: As usual, tribal coloration must be added to my comments. Air peace is our own, we all want it's success but they can't be doing things in a wrong way without calling them out.

First Air peace trip from Nigeria to UK, they had issue in both Nigeria and UK, can everybody be wrong? Perhaps, Air peace should have a proper consultant teams that would help them to put things in order before taking any steps..

We are yet to pack the oracle from the ground, it has already started predicting. Below is the price between Ethiopian airlines and Air peace, N400k difference

Owe agba...@ your last paragraph. Imagine the Nigerian Air joining the foreign fleets....Na our government be our enemies for naija. Foreign airlines ticket isn't supposed to be this high. My cotonou-north American flight experience made me believe so. It cost almost half the price the to same destination from Lagos why?

mojisolani:
I applied recently for conference, and I submitted letter of introduction and sponsorship from my employer with my employment letter and other relevant documents including my personal statement of account. But people are telling me that my employer need to submit their company account, reason I want to know if is a must for that

Yes, if they're the one sponsoring you on the trip. I think it's necessary you submit the statement of your employer as well.
I heard people say after they submitted their application, they still raised webforms and submitted additional docs. Maybe you should do that too concerning the employer's bank statement. Good luck

mojisolani:
Thank sir,Happy Sunday. Pls I want to know if is a most for a company/organisation to give an employer their statement of account for visa processing or letter from them stating their are sponsoring the applicant is okay ?

Yes, it's in order. I do have my secretary do this for me each time, introducing me as the owner(an employer) . There's also a letter of introduction and sponsorship added. I do support the app with my savings account statement as well, though not always

mojisolani:
Eriokanmi,pls can I ask you few questions please sir

Yes madam. Happy Sunday

Paraman:
Power supply is so cheap in Nigeria. No wander Nigerians are not complaining about the increase in price for people in Band A

So it is in Ghana with their stable electricity, despite the presense of heavy industries in their country which left Nigeria in one decade. They're not even on the list, shame in our government of lies.

Wait for the soon to come protest, then you'd know people are complaining. Hope you won't change your story then. You may be plucking money from the mango tree, who knows?

Keep comparing nonsense. Ask why Ghana is not on the list yet, their electricity is stable, despite the heavy relocation of multinationals to Ghana, which would have caused their energy consumption to rise with rising cost per kW

What's wrong with this man called tinubu?

Hun! Obviously, most of those who masterminded the Oct. attack came from outside Palestinian Gaza. Gaza became scape goat because they harboured them

...there was no emergency medical care on the train....hmmm! Nigeria my kontiri
