When I saw the news, I also wondered why Sokoto? Why not Borno where Boko Haram and ISIS are operating from?

Don't be in a hurry to conclude. They know what they're doing. Those saying no impact will soon be wailing that wrong people were targeted, that they should please stop. If the target went awry, the US intelligence would have said so. When the Nigerian government was unable to rescue the US citizen abducted by boko haram. They came into Nigeria, located their hiding place and neutralised the terrorists after rescuing their citizen safely.

Let them keep talking nonsense. The strikes will be more intense soon. They monitor everything from the satellite. All their sponsors will be taken out.

Let me remind you of what happened some years back in borno. A set of police officers was sent on a mission to arrest a terrorist. Despite identifying themselves, another set sent to counter the mission killed them but luckily one of them escaped with heavy gunshot wounds. The federal govt was told that the terrorist escaped meanwhile those who were sent to counter the operation rescued him and took him in a van to a safe place. They had thought all the officers had died and case had been buried until one day when the officer recovered and appeared at the force headquarters. He was the one that explained all that happened, even pointing to those who countered their mission. Nigerian government and politicians dwell so much on falsehood.

Recently in kwara, the wife of governor said nobody was killed in Eruku, that the police swiftly repelled the attack, contrary to what happened. By the time she saw the video of the livestreamed event, she swallowed her vomit. That's how they roll.

What a very sad news to read.

May God console his family.

@MANNABBQGRILL, Long time. Where have you been?

ppogba:
Anyone can prophesy that. It is only logical that activities relating to igniting fire for one reason or the other will be on the rise. I doubt if we have as many fire incidences in better societies at this same time.

Prophesying that there will be road crashes around November and December falls in this same category.

We should de-emphasise this idea of prophesies. Na every body fit see. It depends on how you put your inner gift to use

You don't seem to get it...the emboldened. Not when it's raining almost everyday in such an unprecedented manner as we have today. As i speak, it's getting cloudy again. It rained yesterday and it's been like this since October. Except you live in a different planet would you not see the difference in this year's weather at Christmas as against what we used to experience. It's not peculiar to Nigeria. Why didn't such prophesy come when we used to experience harsh weather in December? Why is fire disaster so much now that rain falls almost everyday as against when human lips and legs would have had cracks at this time as was in the past, due to the severely harsh and dry weather ?

It's God's word, not human permutations.

When i said trump is talk and do,they thought it was a joke. Better don't make him release any statement from his mouth cos it's as good as done. More strikes to come followed by unmanned drone attacks on their sponsors, except they'd not travel on the Nigerian roads forever . Nigeria needs peace.

Of course, they couldn't have done that without the collaboration with the NA naw.

My cousin called me on Christmas eve that a prophesy came during their programme on the mountain that they should inform all their relations,home and abroad to be wary of fire this season. In less than 24hrs, we started hearing of fire disaster news here and there, despite the constant rainfall experienced in Lagos and other places, even across the borders. God, please have mercy on us

eepeepook:
Those are small scale. So, no state owns public incinerators which sanitation workers use to process refuse? We still employ landfills? This country will never get things right.

Lagos had one under ambode and fashola, located on the right before obalende bridge. I wouldn't know how far they've gone with that.

Yes, we focus on private/public facilities, for now. You can sell the idea to states too, especially lagos rivers,kano and Abuja. I just hate their corrupt politics. That's why I've not done much with the government.

eepeepook:
Which states in the country utilize incinerators for waste disposal? I need a list.

All federal teaching hospitals nationwide do. Go to delta and rivers where there are ouldields. NLNG in their Okolobiri Bayelsa and Bonny island in rivers. Dangote refineries in Lagos,etc. I don't even know what you need this information for, but I've been able to assist you in a way,even though you don abuse me finish in your previous post, but its ok.
You can look for more.

Gotocourt:
Eriokanmi, we'll need your input

We are specialists only in the installation of linear incinerators in hospitals and in the oil and gas sector, Where exactly do you need help? Apologies for responding late.

@eepeepook, kindly explain what you mean in your previous post. Tnx

AlphaTaikun:
I'm well-educated, traveled internationally and connected with prominent folks in Nigeria. I know you also often say you have traveled internationally and you ALWAYS have issues with Tinubu based off of largely unfounded speculations. BUT there are loopholes in that ORIGINAL narrative of yours and this current one I'm replying to.

First off, Mrs Folorunso Alakija is paternally from Ikorodu (the Ogbara family) NOT Osun State like you told someone on this thread. Fact check that. YOU also emphatically said she was a tailor that couldn't have had access to connections to get an oil and gas license BUT I had to let you know that Folorunso Alakija of the OGBARA family of Ikorodu, worked as a banker with IMB on Victoria Island hence she has a professional knowledge as well. She was also born into a wealthy family and has brother and sisters who are professionals who she co-opted into her FAMFA Oil operations back in the 1990s. She didn't do it alone because you have to have technical and professional knowledge to dabble into oil and gas. A lot of people such as the Ibadan-born multimillionaire Kase Lawal of CAMAC Group who ALSO got a deep offshore licence didn't succeed in finding commercial quantities of oil and gas and the MKO Abiola family through their Summit Oil operations had problems with Sani Abacha crippling their operations due to the June 12, 1993 election struggles.

Second, Mike Adenuga was NOT introduced to IBB by Mariam. He wasn't even a taxi driver in the United States when he knew IBB. That taxi driver job was just for extra income. He had his own established business then before applying for that deep offshore licence. The Awujale Oba Sikiru Adetona and Michael Adenuga are maternally FIRST cousins so he is from a prominent lineage.

Third, Aliko Dangote came to Lagos from Kano in 1977 and was given a whopping N500,000 by his mother's father Alhaji Dantata (who is of "Agalawa" or Tuareg long-distance trading settler origin in Kano and Katsina. The Agalawas of Tuareg ethnic origin are ORIGINALLY from Northern Mali and Niger Republic). Even the Yar'Adua family are of Tuareg origin of Niger Republic and Northern Mali (NOT Hausa or Fula like some ignorant people like to claim).

That N500,000 is what gave Aliko Dangote the headstart in the world of commodities importation and trading in Nigeria.


Fourth, Sir. Michael Otedola who is an indigene of Epe, Lagos State himself worked at a senior management level with Chevron, so he was very comfortable and weathy. My cousins' father from the same Epe was a Commissioner in Sir. Michael Otedola's Lagos State Government back in the 1990s and the Otedola fam is known to me. Yes, Femi Otedola was into printing like you said.

Last but NOT least, we all have to be very careful with helping to push around unverified second-hand or third-hand stories told and retold about others BECAUSE they tend to be highly embellished with the "Dem say, dem say" or "Won so wipe" innuendos that are highly defamatory. The tales of d*rug allegations against Tinubu while he was still a student or after graduating in ChiTown (Chicago) MUST be treated with utmost caution.

The United States Government in 1993 had already exonerated the then Senator Bola Tinubu of any drug links, and the United States Embassy in Lagos in 2002 through Mr. Michael Bonner, the then Legal Attache CLEARLY stated that the then Governor 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Lagos State has NEVER been arrested on United States soil and has NO criminal records based on the information in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI's) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database which contains the list of names of all criminals in the ENTIRE U.S. modern history has NEVER had Bola Tinubu's name in it.


Right BELOW are 2 links to the official United States Embassy Lagos document of 2002 that Micheal Bonner, the then Legal Attache used to CLEAR Bola Tinubu of any criminal drug charges:

Tinubu NOT a Drug Baron. David Hundeyin Lied
https://www.nairaland.com/7589449/tinubu-not-drug-baron-david



The now President Bola 'Ahmed Tinubu ONLY forfeited $460,000 out of the $1.8 million in his 8 United States checking accounts due to a backlog of unpaid taxes on his investments linked to those bank account which Bola Tinubu had protested the freezing of his bank accounts. If 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu was ever a dr*g baron like these creeps have been peddling around, the United States would have thrown Tinubu right into jail after court trials like they did to General Manuel Antonio Noriega of Nicaragua who was removed in January 1990 as the military dictator or Heads-of-State and flown by U.S. DEA to face justice. I watched the invasion of Panama by United States Military forces in December 1989 live and by January 1990, Noriega had been smoked out of his hiding place and flown to face justice on United States soil. The United States does NOT do plea bargaining with drug barons. Period.

If I made mistakes,I always admit cos nobody has the monopoly of knowledge. Mrs Alakija isn't from Osun, I just called my contact, a retired col.who served under IBB to confirm. Her husband, modupe, though he claimed lagos like tinubu,ambode and co had done, is a bonafide son of the osun soil only his wife is from ikorodu. By the way, you keep using such words as denigrating or defaming? Be guided, nobody is defaming anyone and all it said was a statement of fact about her rising to stardom. Someone must lift someone. Did i say she's a bad person? Read what happened when obasanjo wanted to revoke her licence then, you'd know the history of how she came about the oil licence and her background. Obj thought due process wasn't followed but mama won the case.

That said, you said dangote was handed over a sum right? That's what they always want people like you to hear once they have made it, to make your likes believe they truly met money at home. Only unlce Femi otedola told the truth about his background,though he sugar-coated the father's business a little and it's expected as big man don come. i had shared it here long before he made the revelation cos I'm always with those who grew up with him. I went to his childhood place to even print my late mum's burial ceremony programme last year September. The nonagenerian who knew dangote better had said it all. It was Alh maitama, his cousin who linked him with the NPA ijeshatedo where they both lived, isn't far from apapa. The mama herself, a highly educated woman and a retired head of nursing told me this. He made it big at Onne port too.

Even though Adenuga was related to the late awujale, how does that translate into riches to him? Why didn't he go beyond secondary school before meeting maryam babangida who helped him, if truly he was from a so called wealthy home? His likes should have been schooling at havard or Oxford...or worst case, a graduate of UI, instead of the so called side hustle taxi job he was doing. Think about it. 70% of Adenuga's investments belong to IBB, same way dangote is fronting for the likes of Obasanjo. The ibese giant cement plant is owned by Obasanjo but under dangote's management. You'd never see obj's name linked to it.

You said tinubu isn't a drug baron abi? Can you explain why anyone would willingly agree to forfeit just 100 usd of his hard-earned money to the government authority, not to talk of over 400k usd, just like that? This wasn't about hundeyin, the facts are there and tinubu didn't deny it either. He only said he didn't know he had such an amount in his account though those guys always deposited the money there without his consent...and such lies can only get someone like you who has claimed to be well-traveled. During my days in Buffalo NY as a student, my statement was always in my firm reach, which showed how much I had left in my acct and how much I had spent....you mean tinubu pretended not to see all these in his statement ? Always defend with decorum naw. Of course, he was let go after he had agreed to forfeit the money being drug proceeds cos that was the agreement...forfeit and no case. If he truly owned that money legitimatly , he'd have fought with his last blood.Did he also find himself in the company of those drug peddlers apartment by default? Even if people lie a hundred times, the conscience will always counter it once.

christejames:
When are they tracing the source and worth of Tinupoo properties?

the Malta blending facility alone is 10 times worth more than this. In my opinion, they should leave this man alone. They're all the same. Thieves tracing the footsteps of other thieves on the rock. That's who they are. Wait until tinubu leaves office. You'll be shocked. Remember they've been stealing from the inception. I remember beta edu and tunji ojo. Dem don sweep his own stealing under the carpet already but it will be exhumed by the next administration.

Why I think they should leave malami alone is that, he invested home. He will be creating jobs, though what he did was nothing but betrayal of trust in the esteemed office he once occupied. When we say vote wisely, they think we hate tinubu and co. If these masses see how much they're shortchanging and ripping them off, they'd stone these corrupt leaders they're following and supporting.

Read your bible. That's my response to you, OP. Everything spoken in the bible must come to pass.

Afriifa:
I thought they said Israel bombed everything? hypocritical propagandas. Praise King Jesus, the one true GOD

A lot of Muslims don't even know there are Palestinians who are Christians . Smh! I wish a part of Nigeria who wan die on top istrael-palestine war could read this. They'd feel so disappointed. They've been so brainwashed

Burob:
U have at least another 6 years to wait, u better go & find something productive doing with yourself whilst u are waiting, 6 years na very long time o.

See this one. Sentiment and anger are always evident in their comments. Smh. Any key politician who has a child that's active in his/her government will always be indicted of corrupt practices cos funds ( clean or unclean) must pass through them. Its not about your mentor and his family but the reality. Even if tinubu extends his tenure to 12 years, this must happen.

As careful as obasanjo claimed to be while in government, even to the extent of collecting cash gift from Stella's son each time he caught politicians who came to visit giving him envelopes, his daughter, Iyabo was invited by the EFCC after his tenure. She was involved in politics, even holding a position. Seyi goes up and down sharing gifts in cash and in kind. He should expect this whenever his father leaves office, even if its in 20 years' time. Go and ask atiku's son.

Why not charter keke? Must they enter taxi? I have a bike guy who takes me around anytime i visit asaba. Taking me to the airport from Toscana is just 20 minutes via summit.

CyynthiaKiss:
Hungry clowns will declare fatwa on him today

Fatwa nibo? This shiit can only happen in Nigeria. They should go to UAE, Qatar or Oman.They'd teach them what Islam really means.

Wait until tinubu leaves office. Seyi should get ready

OneCandleAway:
Yes I saw an aide holding her as they walked. The funny think is you hardly see them giving life changing charity to the less fortunate.

The woman is a philanthropist oo. The multimillion naira hospital was a donation to osun state where she hails from. She has also built lecture theatres in universities in Nigeria. She's done her part.

AlphaTaikun:
@Eriokanmi

Be guided with your twisted story line! Say ONLY what you know and don't defame others.

I can detect a strong attempt by YOU to denigrate and minimize the achievements and business-savviness of Dr. Micheal Adenuga and Mrs. Folorunso Alakija whose husband Modupe Alakija is a legal practitioner.


Second, Mrs Alakija was a banker back in the early 1980s with the defunct IMB located at IMB Plaza which looked like a pyramid close to the former Bar Beach on Victoria Island. She was the secretary there before eventually resigning to take care of her young sons being newly married and she used that to set up the famous Supreme Stitches on Allen Avenue in the 1980s to make bespoke wears. She was very popular and that's how many promise clients came to her for the latest designs. I'm a witness to these events that took place in the 1980s. Mrs Alakija was from the very wealthy Ogbara family of Ikorodu. This is the reason why before the age of 10, her father (Chief Ogbara from Ikorodu, Lagos) had shipped the young Folorunso Alakija and her sister to school in the United Kingdom (Wales). She wasn't from a poor home.

Third, Mike Adenuga's mother is the sister to the penultimate Awujale of Ijebuland Oba Sikiru Adetona. Mike Adenuga only drove the taxi (like many other Nigerian students in the United States did in the 1970s and 1980s while schooling in the University) to further augment his expenses. Adenuga's family also sent him funds for schooling from Nigeria.

Otunba Mike Adenuga's Consolidated Oil (Conoil) was the FIRST EVER Nigerian oil and gas company to strike crude oil back in the 1990s due to his sagacity and had NOTHING to do with being favored because Deep Offshore oil exploration in the 1990s was very very risky. Conoil has NOTHING to do with IBB being the owner like these highly misinformed boys push around. That's the pure lies semi-literates and ethnic bigots have been spreading as beer parlor stories for some years now. Arthur Eze ALSO got his licence around the time Mike Adenuga and Mrs. Folorunso Alakija got theirs and NOBODY insults Arthur Eze. The highly IRRESPONSIBLE attacks on Mrs. Folorunso Alakija and Mike Adenuga (by those who don't know about the oil and gas industry operations of the 1990s like a few folks like me and some of others) will not be tolerated.

Last but NOT least, Mrs. Alakija wasn't the only one involved at the time of the bid for the deep offshore licenses in 1993, she brought her biological brothers and sisters from the Ogbara family of Ikorodu, Lagos, who are sound professionals to be with her as advisors and her lawyer husband Modupe Alakija from the famous Alakija family also came on board so she wasn't a random tailor like you people are claiming. She studied to be a secretary in the United Kingdom and on returning to Nigeria worked a some companies before joining IMB to work in the banking sector. Then she resigned to set up the very famous Supreme Stitches in Lagos. She did NOT sleep her way around with IBB or Abacha like some of these creeps have been peddling around.

You folks should let this strong woman be and STOP defaming her!

Nobody is defaming anyone . I just told you facts about her and adenuga. I know someone very close to them and IBB family. I never said anything bad about her, go back to my post and read again. Everyone has their humble beginnings and the destiny helpers who helped them up. Say things the way they are and not sugarcoating things.

I remember when someone was praise-singing the current alaafin of oyo, as if he's was that relevant before becoming alaafin. This man attended same church as my pastor in Winningpeg Canada. He was a hustler and and an ordinary man. He even discussed converting to Islam with my pastor as the condition they gave him to becoming the next alaafin. My pastor attended his coronation.

The other day, someone was busy praising dangote,saying he met money at home...which money and why did it take him decades after becoming rich to earn a university degree in Egypt? That his relative had money doesn't make him a rich man. Dangote came to lagos from kano,squatted in his uncle maitama's rented apartment at ijesa in lagos. The woman, now in her 90s who was their landlady told me this. She's from ilesha. As a matter of fact, Maitama was her first tenant in that house where dangote squatted. She told me the history of baba adeboye too, who used to spend his holiday at her uncle's cocoa store in ilesha to earn some allowance before the man asked him to stop coming and use his holiday season to focuss on his studies and gave him scholarship. Through connections, dangote became relevant. He never even possessed more than secondary schl cert as at that time.

The tinubu most of you are praising today as a rich man had nothing hence, his association with those friends in Chicago who were putting drug money in his account. Telling you guys he's not aware of the arrangements or being involved in it is a tale from the moonlight. There's an ex banker who's his mate in Chicago, who told me about him Tinubu was an ordinary taxi driver, the engagement that earned him a living in America before meeting those drug guys. The ex banker is my neighbour where I built my house in lagos. He's a successful man. They both schooled in America.

Femi otedola was a printer, helping his dad inside a small cubicle by the roadside. He never met money at home. The military guys that came to look for a reliable printer from doddan barracks changed their lives forever. They needed stationery items, ledgers,payrolls etc for the then federal government and their parastatals nationwide and the samples his dad printed and took to the barracks got him the job and he later became IBB's friend. He later became an unopposed governorship candidate with the support of IBB and the rest was history. His cubicle is still there till today and those who used to be femi otedola's friends. They're still engaged with the printing press in that place till today. Most of these guys later went to school to stay relevant when the money came.

NaijaNaWaa:
Supreme Stitches... na Maryam Babangida tailor she be oo

Don't mind these storytellers jare. It was IBB that helped her through Maryam Banangida. That woman was a great influencer and a generous lady. You cant come her way and remain the same. Same woman met Mike adenuga a taxi driver in the US and introduced him to her husband and the rest is history today.

How a tailor had the knowledge of an oil licence without any connection is a tale from.tje moonlight. So many praise singers in Nigeria today is a proof we play a lot. We're never serious

yinkus6750:
While the recall isn't abnormal, cos they might want to post another stronger Ambassador.
However, the relationship between both countries isn't really any better in recent times.
The FG needs to open and follow up diplomatically on this sensitive issues, that really bother on mutual relationship between both countries

Trump had waited long enough on reciprocity and the necessary adjustments with corrections expected from our government. Things like immigration and security challenges were never addressed too. See daoly killings, kidnapping and massive money laundering under this apc government...how can someone said he paid 5m usd as schl fees of 4 of his children in a college in Switzerland? We all knew he laundered that money ni. Not even in the college situated in the space would such an amount be paid in fees.

I think we deserve this. This inept government and their blind followers need to be taught a lesson

Lobatan. Omg! Nigeria is fast becoming the shadow of herself. I never believed we could be this relegated as a nation.

Dangote had hijacked the responsibility of the federal government by exposing corruption(stealing) and instilling decorum. Kudos.

If only they can recover all the mlmey stolen by the apc stalwarts, they'd not need to borrow again, the 5m usd looted by that sokoto man recently exposed by dangote and co,those looted by the nnpc officials during Buhari's administration and the one looted by malami, together with the momey used by seyi tinubu to buy millions of poundshouses in the UK, can make up that money they want to borrow in 3 years.

ebukal67x:
The withdrawal order was a good move. But implementing it should have been done after the police had been sufficiently beefed up.

No be Nigeria again? These politicians will always find an alternative means of blocking the directive. Tinubu sef should know this. They dont joke with their lives. Na the masses get problem

Yes, for their selfish gains, not in the interest of those who voted them. Its better voters are seen switching as these governors do. They have only one vote. Their children may not even vote them if their conscience is still intact

Yea, coming to steal like he did when he was senator under our constituency in Lagos with nothing to show as senator for 2 terms before running to ogun. You're next to be treated likewise. All the monies he spent in those fake projects will be recovered first . I wonder why people don't learn

Election os approaching. Oniro wan regain people's confidence by faya by force

Say it louder. North is once beaten, twice shy. That's why tinubu is romancing southern governors. A state's election results will swallow the entire south-south votes.

Another zone that will disappoint him is the S/E and they're not lowering the music volume at all.
