He looked like a LAWMA waste disposal man in the first picture while he looks like a medical intern in the second picture

There is nothing wrong with an Igbo man canvassing support for Tinubu. There are lots of Yorubas here in nairaland and my professional WhatsApp group rooting for Peter Obi. People should be allowed to make their choices even when it goes against the herd mentality of their Kith and kin.

See how the brain box of the robot was exposed. A good enemy gunner will aim at that unprotected brain box and pieces it. The robot will just come to a halt.

Liz Truss will definitely win the conservative ticket to become the prime minister. The British political establishment is certainly not ready for a non white Caucasian prime minister. Sunak is a sound guy but the odds seems stacked against him.

Antoeni:
A friend who hails from Ogbomoso called to inform me that he mistakenly drove on BRT Lane and wás arrested. He paid N70k to have his vehicle released.

Another Lagos driver who mentioned the name of his district in Lagos carried me, committed the same offense and was asked to pay N5000.

Double standards.

This is the nonsense Tinubu created to inflict pain and disaster on hapless Nigerians who do not hail from Lagos.

May God comfort the family of the deceased and help us to choose the right leaders

I agree with you on this one. I have experienced that as well. So unfortunate.

I dont want to sound tribalistic, but if you are non-yoruba and commits a traffic offence, the way LASTMA will deal with you ehh. It is not that they dont arrest Yorubas, they do, especially if you are a working class with nice ride. What I have noticed is that, if you cannot communicate well with them in Yoruba, especially those elderly LASTMA people with tribal marks, your own don finish. Then the Muslim domination of the rank and file of LASMA. Once you are a typical Yoruba muslim guy and flow well with them, you are sure of going free with little penalty, else na for Oshodi, their head office, you go see your car and bail it with N50k upwards with all the stress.

They picked me one time at Falomo, Ikoyi as I was about to drop one guy that joined me from mainland. They drove my car to their Sura office in Island. I had to pay N20K to pick it up.

My sympathy.
Looking for job in Nigeria now is one of the most difficult things to do. My brother, you didn't fail. It is just that you did not meet the competitive cut off point - the reason behind the name, " scholastic aptitude test". You are competing with the next person writing the same exam and one mark could make all the difference.

Just keep practicing with more materials and time your self. Get proficient with various short cuts of getting fractions, graphical interpretations and percentages solved. Practice with SHL and let your basic maths skills be top notch.

All the best. Don't loose focus.

Be steadfast and diligent in your duty. Your destiny helper is in that church. People are watching. I have been in a bank where a cleaner was elevated to an office assistant and later elevated to a management trainee.

A security guy in my church, a Catholic church as well, was taken by one member of the CMO and trained him through his master's degree in LASU. The guy later got partially funded PhD scholarship in Sweden. We rise from our humble beginnings. People are watching. Remain focus.

Very bad mentality. Typical Nigerian you are. See your wack reasoning??
You better drop this perceptions and attitudes towards Nigerians living and earning legitimate incomes abroad. There is dignity in labour abroad.

plusfield:
I am telling you from a point of knowledge. You're speaking from ignorance. Let me give you a real live example. A patient spent some weeks in a UK hospital and died later. The relevant authority decided to investigate and sanction any doctor that was found complicit or negligent in the death. The patient was seen by over 7 doctors while in admission, one of them being a Nigerian. It was the case note of the Nigerian doctor that they kept investigating over and over, looking for what to find wrong. And they has hope that If hey found any, they will close the case and hammer sanctions on him.
As for Ekweremadu, we all saw that he wrote to the UK high commission, clearly spelling out why visa was being sought for the guy and it was approved. Did you see the UK authorities prosecuting their people at the high commission? And also, such a process will involve a lot of medical referral. Do you in your bigoted mind think it's only this doctor that happens to be a Nigerian that was in the process.
When I saw the headline, I didnt even need to read the news to know that the guy that has been slammed must be a Nigerian

Just save your self the stress of explaining to people that would never understand. I clearly understood your point having lived in UK. It's not about defending Ekweremadu as some people saw in your post. It's about the typical British subtle racism. If the referenced doctor was a typical English doctor, there wouldn't have been any indictment. But the fact that the doctor is from the same country as the main defendant, the jury is already put on enquiry of likely collution between Ekweremadu and the doctor

Tinubu Dioceses

The Pope must hear this

Nigerian police is just funny. Do they even have records and facial recognition capabilities? How do they know the escapees? Is there any intelligence link between them and the Nigerian correctional services? Funny people.

Soludo! I hope the hype on this guy is real. I am not feeling the guy at all. I went to Anambra state the other time and wasn't impress about the decrepit state of Onitsha. Bad roads every where, from housing gate junction to Old and New market roads and adjoining streets. Onitsha is in a mess. He should build the African Dubai he promised us.

This thread brought some nostalgic feeling, remembering my bustling and lively Onitsha of the 80s. For those that lived around GRA, Holy Trinity, Old and New Market roads and adjoining streets close to Holy Trinity, pipe borne water was a regular thing, with its distinct taste because of Nkisi waterworks that pumps water to homes.

Those of us that schooled in any of the primary schools around Holy Trinity will attest to regular pipe borne water from their school taps, getting home, we usually use hose pipe to fill up our tanks. Nigeria is degenerating instead of progressing but the stupid youths will be here hauling insults to themselves on top politicians that do not care about their future.

Honestly, doing any foreign denominated transaction in Nigeria is becoming difficult. Even for students to pay for admission application fee is no more possible. If you do not have someone or a family friend that you could beg to help you pay and you reimburse the person later in Naira or however he/she wants it, you are on your own. All my foreign transactions have been paid by friends and families abroad, of which i reimburse them later. Our country is finished. We still do not know the importance of value system in a society. Once your value system and trust have been eroded, even your best friend will abandon you. I wont be surprise if in the coming years, SWIFT stops honoring LCs from Nigerian banks.

One of my clients is into importation and does lots of LCs. The foreign partners always insists that the confirming bank on any LC must be from US or EU, else they are not dealing. Even Nigerian banks with presence in UK are not acceptable by some foreign companies as a legitimate confirming bank for LCs purpose. It shows the depth our moral decadence had degenerated and the fraud-infested Nigeria's business environment

In as much as this pay increase is good, most Professors in Nigerian universities are too laid back- They are hardly academic and research-minded. Some got their professorship position through ass-licking, which I dont blame them fo,r as some VCs see themselves as mini gods and dish out professorship positions to their cronies. Some of them will collect both local and international research grants and use it to by SUVs, build houses and shopping malls and commission a Phd student to produce a sub-standard journal or research.

NwaIdeato:
I dare Tinubu to pull half this number in any SE state.

Then, you people should be ashamed of yourself. It shows the liberal nature of Western Nigeria. Tinubu would not pull this kind of crowd because of the herd mentality endemic in SE. I have been saying it, SE should not be antagonistic towards other Nigerians. This is one of the reason why it is difficult for an SE person to rise to power in Nigeria.

Peter Obi is becoming the closest we have seen in decades but you people are demarketing him badly by your attitude and unwarranted attacks on other people. Obi had to cry out to warn people that are not civil with their support of him.

Make no mistake about it, Obi remains the best candidate among the three candidates.

Girl child poverty is the worst. I pity young girls from very poor background. They are too vulnerable. I see them every where on the streets.

This is fine

Cousin9999:
You're asking people why they haven't left their home where they grew up and all their family and ancestral land are?

ETA: You're asking why people haven't left a sunny place with vibrant culture and delicious food?

The reasons you mentioned here are the more reasons that made me to stay put in this country. The country is bad but there are certain things you cannot get abroad. However, my wife is pushing seriously for this "japa" for her and the kids and I have started to consider her demand. I dont intend to go with them as my job is here in Nigeria. I am working towards their "japa" while I remain put here to "enjoy" the benefits that comes with being in ones country. Though, I will have to visit my family once or twice in a year.

The way maids are handled in this country ehh? See how the couple wasted the life of this poor girl. I am sure she must have been complaining that she was not feeling fine but her wicked madam won't hear her plea. I hate madam's with this kind of wickedness, especially, the nursing ones with babies or toddlers. Their own wickedness and harshness is out of this world.

I love the British system - their politics and institutions

Story!!!!
Nigeria should not even think of setting net zero carbon emission target when the power sector is still in shambles. We have to fix our electricity first.

Secondly, our public transportation system, a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, is nothing to write home about. Rickety vehicles and trucks, emitting dangerous gases to the atmosphere.

Thirdly, there is no enforcement of environmental laws in place. You see people burning tyres, incinerators, refuse and dangerous materials in the open air, thus, releasing even more dangerous nitrous gases.

We are good in chasing shadows just to conform to the western world's norms. African countries should work hard towards eradicating poverty and providing to electricity to their people, whether clean energy or not. As long as it is able to power their appliances and homes.

Fossil fuels and coal powered the industrial revolution of the western world to where they are today. They used cheap coal and fossils fuel to power their economies and are now forcing the concept of climate change and renewable down our throats.

Agreed, climate change is real but those that have benefited from use of cheap fossil fuels in the past should do more to support developing countries towards meeting the so called net zero carbon emission target. They should invest in renewable energy projects in developing countries and fund the transition to renewable energy in developing countries.

Make no mistake about this. The cost of energy transition is not cheap. Developing countries cannot use scarce resources to build expensive dams and solar fields instead of cheaper gas turbines and coal, which are in abundance in developing countries.

The usual knee-jack reaction in everything. Why shot down the school when other pupils needs the school to function?? Arrest those culpable and leave other innocent students and teachers to continue their daily activities. The responsible teacher that took the pupils to the swimming class at the hotel should be charged to court, including the hotel owners for gross negligence. Others should not suffer because of the negligence of the few.

Choi, bald men every where. See how they are searching for solutions. Baldness could make you look manly and strong if you have thick beards to match. If you are bald and have beards, you look super. But if you are bald and without single strain of hair on your face, na OYO.

Misogynists everywhere!!!

Most men that stereotypes women are usually frustrated, broke and unable to get their kind of girls.

Nairaland has elevated the bashing of female folks to another level. Some ladies that could not bear the bashing have quietly left the platform. There is too much bullying of our ladies here. Mods, please take note.

Ambassador/Diplomat.

But now, I work for clients as a Chartered Accountant and development consultant

Yeyeoldman:
I am 100% against Ekweremadu and his family on this but nevertheless there are diplomatic channels to get around things like this. Let's see if Nigeria still carry any diplomatic weight.

"Harry Dunn was a 19-year-old British man who died following a road traffic collision, on 27 August 2019. He was riding his motorcycle near Croughton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom, near the exit to RAF Croughton, when a car travelling in the opposite direction and on the wrong side of the road collided with him."

"The car was driven by Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a CIA operative working at the United States Air Force listening station at RAF Croughton. Police said they believed the car, a Volvo XC90, had been driven on the wrong side of the road from the base exit, which Sacoolas later admitted."

In this case, Anne Sacoolas was drunk and her recklessness led to the death of a Briton. Guess what? she is in the US chilling as you are reading this. Let's hope Nigeria still have any respect and political leverage to get the Ekweremadus out of this since the said victim is still alive, unharmed abeit traumatized by the Barbarity of the Ekweremadus.

You are right. I followed up that story. Trump was the US president then and the US government immediately brought the lady back home from UK without the British government doing anything. Imagine if the culprit was a citizen of another country?

Making of a country or City is by the quality of people living there. Sadly, the quality of humans living in Nigeria is terribly low. Driving through Lagos roads gives one an idea of the type of human beings one is sharing the country with.

Our attitudes towards the environment and public places is the worst I have ever seen. Our cities and towns are the worst I have ever seen. Don't even mention Abuja to me. You could still see traces of Nigerian touches in the city.

Yet, the mainstream media are quoting only 18 people that died. They didn't even give it any much coverage. See how everywhere is littered with corpses. The continent has failed its people.

Realists:
Organ harvesting by an Okoroman is not surprising.

I am sure you didn't understand the message you are quoting.

Why did they use Uguwuanyi's picture instead of Lawan in the first pictures? Na because two of them resemble ba?
