You go explain tire ,,, no evidence.

Nigerians will decide what to make of the situation early next year.

He just provided evidence but your brene no fit carry am

Saw this on Twitter.
I just shook my head.

The other day at the meeting, they all sat at the high table and kept on on the floor with other floor members.

Peter is a novice at this game....

The first thing he was supposed to be do after moving to ADC is what Atiku just did

Chygozdegreat:
Hello nairalanders I’m planning to relocate to Lagos the city of endless hustle and opportunity.

They say there are greener pastures there, and I believe it. Lagos is a no man’s land; it doesn’t care where you’re from, only what you can offer and how hard you’re willing to work.

It’s a city where dreams are tested, skills are sharpened, and bold moves are rewarded. I’m ready to step out of my comfort zone, embrace the grind, and chase bigger opportunities.
New city. New challenges. New level.

Your first mistake is thinking you are welcome to Lagos.
You are not.
Even the Lagos state government doesn't welcome you. They say "THIS IS LAGOS"

Dalohad:
To be frank, I wish Late Buhari died the way the Ayatollah died, with fire and shrapnels all over his body..

Buhari was a wicked man who deserved no mercy, here or in the afterlife .

All death na death anyway..

Even I death Buharis name still commands more respect.
Buharis name still opens doors that your entire family cannot open

Kukutente23:
Abati is too biased against women especially
First she said his house not hotel
Second, that a married woman comes to your house does not give you the right to start asking her out
Umahi is in the wrong of this proves to be true just as Akpabio was wrong in the Natasha and Nunieh matter

You don't find anything wrong with a married woman going to sleep in the house of the same man she claims has been wanting to sleep with her?
If you wife tell you say one client wan fk am and you later hear say your wife still go sleep for the man house wetin go dey your mind?

grandstar:
This piece is too hard. It can make one begin to hate the tribe.

Never write things like these. Because some bad eggs give them a bad name does not mean all Igbos are bad. I have siblings who are half Igbos.

Bros my best friend is Igbo.
I have many Igbo friends.
I am currently dating an Igbo girl.
My baby mama is Igbo.
So I don't have anything personal with the tribe.
I am calling a spade a spade, I won't call it a big spoon

IGBOPROMISE1:
Can you buttress your assertion that ‘a man from Katsina convinced Igbo to kill Igbo and the murderers were known and cheered on by Ndigbo’!? It appears lack of comprehension is just one of a myriad problems you face! The ekpa scoundrel was either too daft to realise his statements and position regarding the secession effort and sit-at-home (sit-at-home that IPOB had called off) were being used by the evil hegemonic deep-state to carry out false-flag operations then blaming IPOB….either that or he knew what he was doing and was willingly bought to help facilitate the anti-IPOB/ESN/Kanu agenda mounted by Buhari and his hegemonic thugs!

Buharis’ hatred for Ndigbo is legendary, well known and historical….right from 1966 as a matter of fact! There are loads of examples displaying this hatred, so it’s not like i’m saying something that’s alien to Nigerians!

Simone Ekpa and Nnamdi Kanu led the onslaught of Igbos.
The keelings were executed by your fellow Igbos who called themselves ESN and UGM

If you say it's all because of Buhari, that means you are agreeing that Simone and Kanu worked for Buhari to kill their own kinsmen?
You don't even seem to understand youself.
In your quest to put the blame on someone else you have successfully made yourself look stewpeed

If you are saying Buhari is responsible that

These guys keep moving from country to country soiling the good name of the country.
When they get caught they want help from the same government they demonize.

I am not justifying injustice in the Ethiopian correctional facilities but. You wouldn't be in their prison if you were not going about damaging the name of our beloved country.
When you guys sit down to plan crimes, you dont involve the government, when you succeed you come and insult the government, when it doesn't work out for you, you blame the government.

We have very limited resources.
We can't keep going around spending money in foreign countries for the irresponsibilities of some people.

These people are littered in prisons all over the world for various crimes.
They have damaged our passport. Yet they are the louded when the time comes to insult the passport

IGBOPROMISE1:
Had Buhari still been president, i can bet this wouldn’t be the case! That man is the embodiment of evil, xenophobia and hegemonic oppression!

Buhari was the reason the ESN and Known gunMen were in rampage keeling Igbos?

If a man from Kastina state can convince your leaders like Ekpa to keel your own brothers and otters stand by and clap, don't you think it's your people who have the problem?
Because I remember when the Known Gunmen were keeling you guys were all over the place giving them flowers and confetti....

Anything wrong with the bikes?

You are welcome to the club.
The Greatest party in Africa

iichidodo:
There's something the north is planning for Tinubu, a conspiracy of epic proportions that will manifest on election day, all these defections is the beginning phase of the plot....If you want to kill something, it's best done from the inside rather than outside..

You imagine things and believe your imagination.
You need therapy honestly

Welcome on board.
Even Adamawa go still hard Atiku to win

aariwa:
Is he a regional manager of a private oil firm or a politician and if the later how much is his salary as APC chairman and you still they get hope that Nigeria go better?

So you are saying he had nothing in his account before he became the APC chairman a few months ago?

All his life till becoming a professor, he didn't have anything, his only income is salary as APC chairman right?

And we should have hope in your brain?

SadiqBabaSani:
The gesture is highly commendable, but how is Mr Chairman he so rich few months after becoming Chairman of Apc, #100m is not 100k

His account officers called you to the office to inform you that he became rich only a few months ago?

You imagine things and start to believe your own imaginations.

The particular stretch covers only Chevron to Lekki Gate.
Which they have now finished.
They are saying it's part of the plan for other areas.
Will it kill you to read?

Hehehehehehe
These guys are taking a new kind of drug that is unknown to the NDLEA

CaptainZubi:
There are several DIG. DIG is higher than AIG

Yes
I know that.
I was actually going to edit my post after a friend of mine who is a police officer brought my attention to the new Police Service Commission Act.
With the new PSC act. DSCs can stay in office after the appointment of a new IG.

The only issue here is that the new IG was their junior, so we are waiting to see how this plays out.
But the PSC Act permits them to stay till their actual retirement

Oisagbai78:
So this guy go retire all him Ogas! Omo this Life. Na so the likes of Mba and Co just suddenly retire? It's well.

He was already an AIG prior to this appointment.
Na him mates go retire

Egbon Tunji is the finest police officer the NPF has ever had.

LordBiden:
Nepotism promax everywhere.
In a country with over 250 ethnic groups you are replacing a Yoruba with another Yoruba.
Over 80% of top positions given to his Lagos boys.

And someone will say we are one Nigeria?
Make una no worry other tribes are taking notes.

One of the reasons I so much hate GEJ was that he was too weak,he should have given over 80% of top govt. portfolios to south south people.

One Nigeria is a scam.
Nothing like one southern Nigeria.

LoL .
You don't know the man called Tunji Disu.
If you knew just even a little about Tunji Disu you will give your president a round of applause for picking him as IG.

No AIG commands as much respect as Tunji Disu amongst police officers right now in the force.
No be everything be tribe and politics.
Tunji is the best man for the Job

I have not read the body of this report.
But the headline alone is a nonsensical thing to say.

There is no logical excuse for such an explanation to come from the police.
The ICPC should swing into investigation and take Egbetokun and his son in for questioning.

The president ask him to resign primarily because of this.

As a member of the ruling party and a member of the City Boy Movement I personally condemn the actions of the former IG and his son.

The ICPC as a matter of fact needs to investigate the Police Service Commission.

I am glad that Egbon Tunji is now the IG, a square peg in a square hole. I remember his days in Lagos as the RRS commander, his sacrifices during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If only the NPF can be half what the RRS was under the command of Egbon Tunji.
I believe in his ability to transform the NPF like he did with the RRS

thatigboman:
the funniest thing is that the transaction has nothing to do with police account. it was anambra state money in anambra state account. how did anambra government officials sitting in awka get hold of the IG son's account details?

Naaa
You got it wrong.
The money was is security vote, the security vote is to be paid to the state government, the money was diverted and never even got to the state.
The real question should be, how come the state didn't receive the security vote yet they kept quiet?

ruggedtimi:
adult...if you follow up my next post...you would have read where i pointed finger at the state govt

Like I said earlier the money wasn't moved from Anambra state account..it never arrived Anambra state account, the money was diverted....

Well it can be set up because I am sure the IGs son is old enough to know the could be traced and if he really wanted to do it, it doesn't cost much to get an offshore account to make the money vanish without prints

ukukaegbu:
It's still paining them that he lost the Lagos that he ALLEGEDLY built.

If your people reject you, then you are a thief and fraudster.

Unlike you lots, we take responsibilities for our errors.
We don't blame others for our failures, we rather return to our drawing board and plan better.

Every internal crisis in your party you blame the rulling party, every election loss you blame the APC someone who neighbors could not trust him enough to come out and vote for him got only 7 votes, he was standing right there at the PU. Yet he is blaming the APC for his loss instead of going back to restrategize. If people on his street, his estate, his neighbors do not have enough confidence in him to win, na outsiders wan trust wan, no street credibility and you want to win grassroot election....

Currently there is no stakeholder in the ADC that can comfortably win their states.

Party Chairman David cannot win Benue
El-Rufai can't Win Kaduna
Rotimi cannot win Rivers
etc

Atiku, Peter and Rotimi together could not command enough influence to get Mosess neighbors to come vote for him

[quote author=AMINDA post=138573893]You go explain tire!

"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.

I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.

this children.
The state that was said to receive Palliative from the government was Oyo state and Oyo state government didn't deny receiving the money. Is Oyo an APC state?

Once you hear anything that suits your hate narrative you just run with it, you can't think for yourself

franchasng:
I want to make this warning public ahead of 2027 so that no Nigerian will say they were not warned.


Someone who isn't a Nigerian sent me this and I almost cried reading through his words.


He said and I quote:


Whenever I look at the situation of Nigeria, I just shed tears for the entire black race. I am not black but I have had decades of encounter with a lot of black people from different African countries, and I can boldly say that blacks are one of the rarest breed of humans when it comes to being humane to mankind, but unfortunately, bad leadership at the government level has destroyed the chances of black people ever taking the center stage in global affairs, especially in technology, science, innovation, sports and entertainment. As a Caucasian, I know the privileges I have over other races right from birth. Being Caucasian already puts me ahead of other races, whether I am smart or not, whether I am humane or not, it doesn't matter. Do you know why it is so? Because pure Caucasian nations built a legacy for us from the beginning. The British, the Spanish, the Portuguese, Italians, Greeks, French, Germans, and even Russians. The exploits they did many hundreds of years ago cemented the place of glory and honor for the entire Caucasian race all over the earth. They paid the price that we modern generation of Caucasians are enjoying today.


Do you know that because of few population of Caucasians in South Africa, that is the reason South Africa is a bit advanced more than other black African nations? They enjoy a lot of secret privileges that other black African nations will never enjoy just because of the few Caucasians that naturalized in South Africa but many South Africans of the black race don't know this secret, they think they are smarter than other black Africans like Nigerian people who are super talented and smart.


I am not from the United States, I have lived there for decades before relocating back to my country because nothing feels like home. I can tell you with boldness that in the United States of America, Nigerians are one of the most educated and focused people in that country. I did a PhD program at Philadelphia and guess what? Most of my mates there were Nigerians, just few Caucasians from different countries, you hardly see Americans or Britons. These Nigerian guys were so focused, dedicated and exceptional. One made some new discoveries that won her some huge fund to pursue her research, some private firms partnered back then, I was wowed.


It was at that time, around early 2000s that I started researching about Nigeria to know more about the country because some other friends have told me about Nigerians being smart and also crooked in very interesting way, oh yes, a friend of mine from Belarus told me that some years back. He said if you want to learn unheard crooked ways to make big dirty money in the world, that you should befriend a Nigerian guy and play along with him, that you will be wowed at what these guys can do. My friend said they can compromise any system once they see the opportunity to make money from that system. After hearing a lot of good and bad stories pointing at Nigerian people, I decided to make a trip to Nigeria to know more about the country myself.


It was funny when I couldn't get a visa to visit Nigeria like some other first world countries I have visited, I was like, wow, I thought it was going to be very easy since the country had a reputation of being one of the most corrupt nations on earth with nothing going on inside the country aside some crude oil.


Finally after some months, I secured a visa and headed to Nigeria. I think it was Yaradua that was the President when I first visited Nigeria. I landed at Lagos airport, it looked really chaos on arrival, the cloud was not really looking nice and there were lots of shanty looking houses known with most black African countries, but I was really interested to know more about Nigeria haven heard so much about the citizens.


I spent 14 days in Nigeria, 5 days in Lagos, 3 days in Abuja, 2 days in Calabar, 2 days in Kaduna and 2 days in Benin city.

But when I went back, my friend said I should have visited the Eastern side, so I started making research about Eastern Nigeria then I learned about the civil war, about Onitsha, Aba, Portharcourt and Enugu. So I planned a second trip with a target to visit the Eastern side more. So during my second trip, I visited Portharcourt, Enugu, Onitsha and Owerri, I couldn't visit Aba because of a travel advisory, I had to cancel.


A few years later, I think after the death of Yaradua, I went back to Nigeria and I visited Aba, Abakaliki, Ibadan, Ondo and Kano state. After that, I started a plan to spend some of my vacation in Nigeria just to understand Nigerians the more because I wanted to see the possibility of writing a book about Nigerians, which many first world nation citizens would love to read from a Caucasian person's view.


Later on I visited Accra Ghana, Benin Republic, Togo and Gabon. I fell in love with black Africans the more and if not that I was already married and committed to my marital vows as a devout Catholic, I would have married a black woman, probably from Nigeria or Gabon because I found them more interesting.


After years of studying Nigerians right from inside Nigeria, I discovered that Nigerian people have a great potential for greatness but lacked the leadership cohesion to achieve this. Digging further, I discovered a deep-seated issue of tribal-religious division. The Northern part of Nigeria had nothing in common with the Southern part. While the Northern part lived like ancient Arab countries, the Southern part lived a typical African life of dedication to trade, business, commerce and education. I also discovered a deep-seated disdain for the Eastern Nigerians by the Western and Northern Nigerians. One of the taxi guy that drove me around in Lagos, I asked his tribe, he told me he was Yoruba, he taught me certain things about Nigeria and the different tribes, though I already knew about this but he helped broke it down.


I observed something. Anytime he wanted to say something about the Igbos, he hisses, so I decided to dig deeper one day and asked him why he doesn't like talking about Igbos. He said because they are very bad people. I was shocked to hear that. I dug deeper, so I asked him why does he think so? He said something in Pidgin English that meant he knows them very well and have dealt with them severally, that they are very terrible people that love money so much and ready to sacrifice their entire family members to make money. And he narrates all these with anger, showing he meant every word he said.


He told me they are the only tribe in Nigeria that deal on hard drugs and also do a lot of what he called money ritual, that was the first time I heard about 'money ritual', so I asked him to explain and what he explained was gory you know. But being a liberal minded person that love digging deeper, I didn't just take his words and cancelled the Igbos so I decided to pay more attention to knowing about the Igbos. Unfortunately something similar happened when I visited Ibadan and Kano. All the taxi guys had one bad thing to say about the Igbos and how they contributed so much in destroying Nigeria's image abroad, I felt pity for the Igbos because before I came to Nigeria, I didn't know that it was the Igbos that made most Caucasians I know talked bad about Nigeria. They just classified Nigerians as very corrupt and smart people.


This led me to start researching about Nigerian leadership; I got to discover that the Igbos have only been in position of leadership as the President of Nigeria in 1966 and it was for a few months and through Military mutiny. I began to wonder why the guys I met in Lagos, Ibadan and Kano believed Igbos were the reason Nigeria isn't a great country, this made me develop more interest in knowing more about the Igbos and the Nigerian politics. It was at this point that I realized that the greatest problem of Nigeria is tribal-religious division and a deep-seated hatred for the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria.


In my personal findings, I found out that the Igbos have a more liberal mind compared to the other Nigerian tribes. When I visited the Eastern side, all the interactions I had with the natives over there, including the taxi guys, none of them sounded bias in terms of ethnicity. They were more interested in knowing the country I came from and also pitching business ideas. One even told me that I can come and invest in hotel business that it was a very lucrative business. He told me that there are some hotels in his city that were built by white people like me, that if I am interested that he would help me find a land in good location in the city center, I laughed because it was interesting listening to him pitch business ideas to me.


I remember another telling me that he would love to travel out of Nigeria to study and work. When I asked him why he doesn't believe he would be better in Nigeria, he said the government is corrupt and won't allow young graduates like him in Nigeria get a job without having a connection of some sort, I immediately noticed a difference between Igbo people's assessment of why Nigeria is not working and other tribe's assessment. The other tribes condemned Igbos in the strongest words and blamed them for Nigeria's woes but the Igbos blamed people in government generally and never pointed accusing fingers at any tribe or group of people and they are eager to transact business.


Let me stop here for now so that my message won't be too lengthy for you.


I have made several researches about Nigeria's past and present leadership at the center, that is what you guys call federal government and I can tell you boldly that there is no good future for Nigeria if the current guys in charge continue. I am not proud to say this, European governments don't want Nigeria and most African countries to get it right in terms of leadership and that is why they always back the worst set of politicians to emerge leaders in black African nations. There is this guy called Peter Obi, he is a wonderful guy, I have been researching about him, I have followed all his outings and lifestyle, they are consistent and he reflects the qualities of a great leader, the type that liberated many countries in Europe and Asia. From my personal findings too, he won the last Presidential election held in Nigeria but I think because he is Igbo, the incumbent President at that time didn't trust him enough to let him pull through. Only the Nigerian masses would have fought for that guy to emerge President of Nigeria but again I am sure because he is Igbo, they didn't see the need to fight for him because most other Nigerian tribes from my personal experience believe Igbos are the problem of Nigeria and are not to be trusted.


I see the guy trying to re-contest again in 2027, but the truth is, the incumbent won't let him win, he would use every available means to stop him and only the Nigerian masses can help that guy to emerge against the several odds.


And I sincerely tell you, if Nigerians fail to elect Peter Obi as President in 2027, I doubt there will be another opportunity to get Nigeria on the right track again in the next 100 years. Leaders like this emerge once in a lifetime and when a nation misses them, it takes them centuries to get a replacement.


And when I look at the spiritual side of Nigerian issues, if I am to interpret it with what I discovered during my several visits to Nigeria, I think Peter Obi is on a divine mission. Divinity raised him to emerge from the oppressed and rejected side; the Eastern side for a reason that many Nigerians refused to see. I am a researcher, a deep seeker, I have once been close to being an Atheist, but certain events in life made me realize that life is not just ordinary the way most humans of our time believe. There is spirituality. Yes science is real, but science have failed to prove certain life events of which I will find time to compile for you when next I write you.


I know you are from the Igbo tribe in Nigeria, I am not writing all these to massage your ego, agreed Igbos have their shortcomings just like every other group of humans. In Europe, we have our differences, we have our shortcomings and that was why the first and second world wars were fought and as you can see today, Europe is made up of so many small countries that are not up to 10million. Just as you guys have what you call tribes, we also have that in Europe. Greeks are different from Italians, Norwegians are different from Finnish people. And we realized our differences on time and accepted those differences and structured Europe in such manner.


Until Nigeria gets it right, the black race will never get it right and will never take the center stage in global affairs.


I read about a newly introduced tax law in Nigeria and I felt pity for Nigerians. Nigeria is not ripe for such a law to begin with. The incumbent leadership in Nigeria is trying to copy European tax system, that is wrong, we Europeans don't even fancy the tax system even though it provides a lot of benefits for us. Nigeria have enormous crude oil, why can't the government focus on maximizing that and utilizing it faithfully to built structures and put systems in place, uplift people from extreme poverty, solve the insecurity problems before advancing to this level of tax system? It will only slow down Nigeria's possibility of coming out of the woods.


I have to go now. You guys need to intensify your efforts to elect a more credible and transparent leader in your upcoming election, the world is silently observing Nigeria. The European governments don't want you guys to get it right but many Europeans individually feel pity for Nigerians and wish you guys well, you guys have the potential to become a great nation, those of you in diaspora should work together to sensitive others. Global population is exploding, western country governments will tighten their borders more in the coming years to preserve the dwindling opportunities for their citizens, this will affect black Africans a lot if their governments don't sit up. Wishing you and Nigerians peace and love, gracias.

Hahahahah

He told me that there are some hotels in his city that were built by white people like me, that if I am interested that he would help me find a land in good location in the city center, I laughed because it was interesting listening to him pitch business ideas to me.


I remember another telling me that he would love to travel out of Nigeria to study and work. When I asked him why he doesn't believe he would be better in Nigeria, he said the government is corrupt and won't allow young graduates like him in Nigeria get a job without having a connection of some sort, I immediately noticed a difference between Igbo people's assessment of why Nigeria is not working and other tribe's assessment. The other tribes condemned Igbos in the strongest words and blamed them for Nigeria's woes but the Igbos blamed people in government generally and never pointed accusing fingers at any tribe or group of people and they are eager to transact business.


Let me stop here for now so that my message won't be too lengthy for you.


I have made several researches about Nigeria's past and present leadership at the center, that is what you guys call federal government and I can tell you boldly that there is no good future for Nigeria if the current guys in charge continue. I am not proud to say this, European governments don't want Nigeria and most African countries to get it right in terms of leadership and that is why they always back the worst set of politicians to emerge leaders in black African nations. There is this guy called Peter Obi, he is a wonderful guy, I have been researching about him, I have followed all his outings and lifestyle, they are consistent and he reflects the qualities of a great leader, the type that liberated many countries in Europe and Asia. From my personal findings too, he won the last Presidential election held in Nigeria but I think because he is Igbo, the incumbent President at that time didn't trust him enough to let him pull through. Only the Nigerian masses would have fought for that guy to emerge President of Nigeria but again I am sure because he is Igbo, they didn't see the need to fight for him because most other Nigerian tribes from my personal experience believe Igbos are the problem of Nigeria and are not to be trusted.


I see the guy trying to re-contest again in 2027, but the truth is, the incumbent won't let him win, he would use every available means to stop him and only the Nigerian masses can help that guy to emerge against the several odds.


And I sincerely tell you, if Nigerians fail to elect Peter Obi as President in 2027, I doubt there will be another opportunity to get Nigeria on the right track again in the next 100 years. Leaders like this emerge once in a lifetime and when a nation misses them, it takes them centuries to get a replacement.


And when I look at the spiritual side of Nigerian issues, if I am to interpret it with what I discovered during my several visits to Nigeria, I think Peter Obi is on a divine mission. Divinity raised him to emerge from the oppressed and rejected side; the Eastern side for a reason that many Nigerians refused to see. I am a researcher, a deep seeker, I have once been close to being an Atheist, but certain events in life made me realize that life is not just ordinary the way most humans of our time believe. There is spirituality. Yes science is real, but science have failed to prove certain life events of which I will find time to compile for you when next I write you.


I know you are from the Igbo tribe in Nigeria, I am not writing all these to massage your ego, agreed Igbos have their shortcomings just like every other group of humans. In Europe, we have our differences, we have our shortcomings and that was why the first and second world wars were fought and as you can see today, Europe is made up of so many small countries that are not up to 10million. Just as you guys have what you call tribes, we also have that in Europe. Greeks are different from Italians, Norwegians are different from Finnish people. And we realized our differences on time and accepted those differences and structured Europe in such manner.


Until Nigeria gets it right, the black race will never get it right and will never take the center stage in global affairs.


I read about a newly introduced tax law in Nigeria and I felt pity for Nigerians. Nigeria is not ripe for such a law to begin with. The incumbent leadership in Nigeria is trying to copy European tax system, that is wrong, we Europeans don't even fancy the tax system even though it provides a lot of benefits for us. Nigeria have enormous crude oil, why can't the government focus on maximizing that and utilizing it faithfully to built structures and put systems in place, uplift people from extreme poverty, solve the insecurity problems before advancing to this level of tax system? It will only slow down Nigeria's possibility of coming out of the woods.


I have to go now. You guys need to intensify your efforts to elect a more credible and transparent leader in your upcoming election, the world is silently observing Nigeria. The European governments don't want you guys to get it right but many Europeans individually feel pity for Nigerians and wish you guys well, you guys have the potential to become a great nation, those of you in diaspora should work together to sensitive others. Global population is exploding, western country governments will tighten their borders more in the coming years to preserve the dwindling opportunities for their citizens, this will affect black Africans a lot if their governments don't sit up. Wishing you and Nigerians peace and love, gracias.

Hahahahah

I was expecting Frank Mba will be named to succeed him. That means if Tunji Disu comes in, all the DIGs and AIGs will go away. Anyways Mr. Tunji Disu tick the box, but optics is very bad.

Tunji Disu is an AIG so what exactly is your point?
