Why most northerners can not utilise this wonderful facilities to acquire wastern education.

At the of your own education, you used it for bigotry.

What's the value?

It would still lead to his end.

He's overreacting, guaranteed to give unforced errors.

Freshandfitpod:
just admit say you no know

What's this one saying?

PrimeWatermark:
Epstein died since 2019.

That's the official story.

Paddy Paddy.

They are probably still in touch.

You mean he put all that stuff up his rectum?

ambale:
It's not about 2027, even you sef know that it is only Buhari that had an organic following and a movement

Tinubu is not even close, many of you guys will dump him if goodies are not shared anymore in your Whatsapp group

You now believe Buhari had a following.



Anyway, sounds like you're already defeated in 2027.

You did well, Saint-Maximin.

Freshandfitpod:
An air force veteran always have a soft spot in election it has nothing to do with partys

How come Chris Menefee (Democrat) also won the seat for Congress?

Let's hope Pam Bondi doesn't raid the ballots

ambale:
And what have you built in your career??

You cannot even use ur real identity online but you dey yab someone who have a movement, the last politician to have an organic movement is buhari, even Tinubu doesn't have an organic movement and that's why it's almost like if he doesn't spend heavily or rig heavily, he can't even win the elections

2027 is not far.

AuduAli2:
Rome, Greece, PDP, Great Britain, they all lost power, are we doing well to count on APC to save you and I or do we do like the wise men of old who built up the rule of law?

Kanu was lawless and convicted by the courts.

Just because you like him, doesn't mean he's not a criminal.

ottersberger:
Sunday Igboho is a saint.

Anything the government wants to do with Igboho via the law courts they should.

Who gives a hoot?

AuduAli2:
One day you may be able to see you are pushing your own country and your children into lawlessness. If they paid you enough to run away from it, something about this behaviour tells me you would get deported.

Gerrout.

Kanu is a terrorist.

Simon Ekpa is a terrorist.

If Ekpa had been convicted in Nigeria, you would have been claiming it was a witch hunt.

Kanu should kpai in prison.

Do your worst.

Na that Sanko e go dey.

This is the best Premier league team ever.



If e pain you.

Confused people.

Little Marco.

Must be on that stuff.

Sounds like they want to engage in war.

Elderly lottery winner uses jackpot to build £288m drug empire making pills from his cottage

John Eric Spiby cashed in his winning ticket in 2010 to construct a drugs lab in the "stables" opposite his cottage near Wigan, Greater Manchester.

The then 65-year-old used the facilities to build a "sophisticated" lab to produce counterfeit medication, estimated to have a street value of up to £288 million.

Spiby went on to grow his empire using his son and two associates, building a second drug factory in Salford to flood the streets with "unregulated, unlicensed and unchecked" drugs, a court heard.

At the height of his powers, Spidy boasted that US tech billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos "best watch their backs".

But as sales of counterfeit drugs soared, so did the number of drug-related deaths in the area, with desperate users playing "Russian roulette" with their lives, prosecutors said.

An elderly National Lottery winner used his £2.4 million jackpot to build a lucrative drug empire by producing fake prescription pills from his rural cottage.

But as sales of counterfeit drugs soared, so did the number of drug-related deaths in the area, with desperate users playing "Russian roulette" with their lives, prosecutors said.


The group's success caught the attention of the police, who ran a surveillance team on them after uncovering incriminating messages on an app dubbed the "WhatsApp for criminals".

When officers eventually raided a hired van, they found 2.6 million counterfeit Diazepam tablets with a street value of up to £5.2 million.

Police also raided a string of properties and found three firearms plus ammunition, as well as cash and industrial tablet manufacturing machinery.

Spiby Sr, now 80, had a "significant" criminal record but denied any knowledge of the conspiracy.

But he was convicted of drug offences and jailed for 16-and-a-half years on Tuesday.

Passing sentence, Judge Nicholas Clarke KC said: "Despite your lottery win, you continued to live your life of crime beyond what would be a normal retirement age."

Another gang member, Callum Dorrian, 35, was given 12 years at a previous hearing.

The court heard that Spiby Snr used frosted windows to "hide" his lab from the outside world.

Inside, there was "industrial-scale" equipment capable of producing tens of thousands of tablets per hour.

Bolton Crown Court heard Drury used his company, Nutra Inc, as a 'front' to cover up the illicit business.

Between June 2020 and May 2022, £200,000 worth of machinery and ingredients were bought, with pills sold for 65p each.

But the group were uncovered by French law enforcement officers, who managed to uncover encrypted messages on messaging platform EncroChat.

The criminals discussed raw materials and the prospect of moving to synthesising the drugs to maximise their profits.

The recipe for making the drugs was saved on Drury's phone.

Dorrian and Drury were observed by officers loading a rented Enterprise van with boxes which were due to be delivered to a hotel in Manchester on April 1, 2022.

On May 17, 2022, officers carried out a number of warrants which resulted in the seizure of three viable firearms, ammunition, cash, and significant quantities of counterfeit tablets and raw materials.

All four men were arrested and remanded into custody.

Jailing Spidy Sr, Judge Clarke said the gang sold pills to people who "could not find them through legitimate means".

Donald Trump.

He will pay.

lagonovo:
America is just passing through a necessary period of self-cleansing.

The whole world took advantage of the most immigrant friendly nation in the world, a nation where the son of a Kenyan immigrant became president. Many played by the rules while many worked hard to drag America down to the levels of their dysfunctional home countries.

Let America be. Cleaning process is hardly perfect or pretty. Trump started the process, it's a bit crude and untidy but a reset is assured.

Ride through it. If you are not up for it, move back to your home country or try out the darlings of American critics like Russia, China, or even Iran. The more cautious ones can do Canada

A man of Kenyan heritage is not meant to be president of America?

UrVillageChief:
Then next time, stop putting your mouth in discussions that are above your mental grade.
Get proper education about things before discussing them on public fora so you don't end up disgracing yourself like you just did earlier. I was only pointing out where you erred because I was shocked seeing over 80 fellow ignorant folks liking and sharing the erroneous comment. The old testament is actually a book shared among all the three Abrahamic religions with the Judaism being the true custodian of the book but ignorant folks always mistake it to be a Christian book.
I don't know how on earth you just interpreted that to be hypocrisy😂
The Christians call it the old testament, the Jews call it the Torah while Muslims call it the Taurat and what I was particularly correcting you about is the fact that out of all these three related religions, only one is still backward enough to enforce the laws found in the Torah when others have evolved and see those laws as being too archaic for this age and time. That's the point I'm making and if you're so convinced that I'm lying, counter me with proofs of how the other two religions are enforcing the laws. It's that simple, don't derail, I have a thing for intelligent argumentators .

You are still talking rubbish.

What part of the old testament should be discarded?

Very simple question.

Kukutente23:
What detail did you pay attention to

When you ask a question, you end with a question mark.

Freshandfitpod:
ICE are law enforcement, they have warrant of arrest, don lemon went in there to cause chaos with his gangs, there are text messages between them proving their involvement in this criminal act.

Stop lying .

The case was first thrown out by a judge, and later tossed by a federal appeal court.


Don Lemon was arrested by federal agents on January 30, 2026, despite a federal appeals court previously rejecting the Department of Justice's (DOJ) push for an arrest warrant.
The Appeals Court Ruling
Before his arrest, the DOJ sought warrants for Lemon and four others following a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where Lemon was reporting.
Initial Rejection: A federal magistrate judge first refused to sign the warrants, citing a lack of evidence that Lemon engaged in criminal behavior.
Unusual Appeal: In an "unprecedented" move, the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, Daniel N. Rosen, appealed this refusal directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
The Decision: On January 24, 2026, the appeals court rejected the DOJ's emergency bid. Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz noted there was "no evidence" Lemon or his producer had committed a crime, describing them as journalists rather than protesters.

Kukutente23:
It's irrelevant to this discourse

It is a measure of one's attention to detail.

You're too sloppy.

Kukutente23:
I meant you do zombie work so I thought you're a Northerner not all that you wrote above

You know how to use punctuations?

Kukutente23:
I thought you're a northerner o

You thought wrong.

Just because some of us think about humanity above all else, doesn't mean we are of a tribe, creed, religion or orientation.

Kriely:
You don’t take the protest to a religious place. He should know better as he’s a journalist. Ira a federal crime.

Well, one judge already threw the case out.

Based on his first ammendment right, i5s difficult to get a conviction.

Many journalists embed themselves in tough situations to bring the news to the public.

If a federal judge looked into it and found no merit, it must be a tough one.

Elvis2kay:
No place like HOME,.una eye don clear

Where do you want Don Lemon to go?

AsomughaChuks02:
He has since been released nah. Why is nairaland always bringing news far behind schedule?

It's a different arrest for the same incident.

seanery:
STUPID GAY

abcdefghijkl

He was a journalist covering an incident.

If you are concerned about his orientation, don't go into his room.
