AirBere:

You confidently wrote this without even knowing the brand of the car.

Nairaland sha, smfh.

there's no brand that the owner won't be spending millions of Naira just for repairs

BATified2023:
that's a big lie

He should just wait for the flood to go down, tow the vehicle to a mechanic place.....leave it there for few days n the mechanic should work on the car engine, rewire should also do his job.

He will spend money but the car isn't write off, if na like that car dey write off nobody go use car again...haba

THIS is how you know people who have never owned a car or driven one before. That car engine are gone, if you like leave it at the mechanic for 10 years the engine has been flooded, hydraulic, oil etc gone. My boss's car didn't get this submerge at Agungi and it was a right off, he had to buy new engine blocks, New hydraulic systems, plugs etc, he basically only retained the body but the car itself was gone. My car was also submerged last year but it was just barely in the engine and I had to spend almost 200k to repair what was damaged, had it been it submerged completely like my boss's own na new car I for dey drive for Naija like this. So please go and sit down one side, you know not what you speak of.

He say you should let the flooding to go down 😂, as per say na bicycle abi na motorcycle

PerfectStranger:
This is a sad one for the car owner. Nothing less than 109k will be spent to fix it after.

You say what?? 109k in dollars or Naira?

Willy2025:
Enugu is in the pocket for the APC. With the way things are going, 2027 is just a mere coronation for Tinubu. No need to campaign again. The only major task we have is how to convince PO to join the progressive team instead of roaming around aimlessly with questionable characters like Mama Pee and Peter Akah. I'm even suspecting that there is something between him and that Mama Pee, that lacks serious parental upbringing.

Lol... El Rufai was the coordinator for Kaduna and he still lost the state, the Igbo most especially don't do subservient voting like the SW , anything Mba is na for him pocket, 042 go vote who them wan vote for.

Even if Otti decamps to APC and is made Abia campaign coordinator, Abia go still vote against Tinubu regardless. That's how we roll , subservience is alien to an Igbo man.

Benwallt:
Huh! We already know the outcome. Na tribalism vote. Expect Agulu fraudster to get 100% and still come third like last election. SE vote determines nothing.

Tinubu has been extremely tribalistic with his appointments and Federal projects yet none of you have criticised for him on that and yet you expect the SE not respond in kind?

Btw, SE massively voting for Obi is not because he's Ìgbo, he's just outrightly the best available option compared to Atiku and Tinubu. You can pit Tinubu or Atiku against someone like Ikpeazụ, Hope Uzodinma or even Orji Kalu and the SE would go for Atiku every single time. Igbos are business oriented and know how to spot bad market and a profitable one, Tinubu is just bad market hence why the SE will shun him as they shunned the other bad market before this one.

echoxyz:
Tinubu will get 25 percent in at least one south east state. A feat he cld not achieve in 2023 election.

He couldn't get it when he had the benefit of doubt and you expect him to get now that everyone knows he's total failure? Dey play

Kobojunkie:
The US needs to be next on that list. And that should include everyone who would cover their faces at protests or matches in public spaces. 🥱🥱

For this US wey person dey so? That's not going to happen, at least not anytime soon. Americans have been so polarised and propagandized that they can't even spot danger when it's starring at them in the face.

erad:
Lol... Eleha dey deny masquerade. Plus the poster, and the Rev fathers, and the catholic church itself, what's the difference between them?

You practice a religion that the people that own it deny and even insult at every opportunity. Yet you fight amongst yourself trying to see who's more gullible to the religion. Weird.

I'm sure they'll push the rubbish topic to frontpage on Sunday. Nairaland is gone.

Who are these people that owns it?

Zonefree:
Catholic Church is cultural not Biblical.

As in... It is not Christianity! What you're seeing here are the very same reasons why Protestantism sprang up and removed themselves from the Roman Catholic. The way of worship and idolatry was why some denominations like Methodist, Anglecan, and Apostoliy churches sprang up

Dalohad:
Because you simply want to loot the money.

Stop deceiving yourself.

Nigerians, when the World bank, China and other creditors come for their money. We must sell all off Tinubu's assets home and abroad to pay them off..

Me and my family no go pay shishi.

You think that would be enough to pay half of the debts?

Dogalmighty17:
This guy is popular enough that he might defeat Zelensky. He is behind Ukraine's drone architecture and the brainchild of Ukraine using drones to turn the tide of the war and take it to Russia's doorsteps.

Turn which tide?? Ukraine have not turned any tide in this war, they're losing ground gradually albeit at a slow pace but losing ground all the same. Hitting Russia factories here and there doesn't affect the war very much.

If you're basing your knowledge on the war solely on sensationalized western media you would think Ukraine are a few months from storming Moscow, but the reality on ground paints a bleak picture for Ukraine.

motymop:
Stop saying nonsense

How do you think they always give drips during war situations

Even in dirty trenches, military doctors still give drips and do surgeries

And it leads to lots of infections and conterminations . A lot of injured soldiers have died due to the unsanitary nature of the first aid they received in the battlefield, the lucky ones got their limbs amputated to save them.

But that's during war times, in a specific circumstance with no alternative in sight, to use that to justify this unsanitary medication says a lot about the anyhowness of most Nigerians and how far removed we are from common sense in this country.

Elzazzi:

Exactly what I said earlier. Civilians are never a legitimate target UNLESS THEY PARTICIPATE IN SOME FORM IN the war. This section discusses this in relation to civilian infrastructure. Civilian objects even when empty (to avoid collateral damage) must not be destroyed UNLESS IT GETS CONVERTED TO MILITARY USE.

THIS was what you said
^
I said that the presence of combatants in a civilian infrastructure makes that infrastructure a valid target and that's well covered in the Geneva convention
^
That is a lie. The mere presense of military men around civilians can never make those civilians the target indiscriminately. That infrastructure itself must be in active use for the war efforts.

Now, what isreal themselves claimed as defense was that the kindergarten and hospital they bombed was being used to store weapons. However in the full view of all media cameras, the debris was cleared and no remnants of weapon was found atall. So they lied and took the rest of the world for foools.
Another target was a UN camp. They thought so lowly of everyone's intelligence that they claimed UN that sent humanitarian workers to help those displaced people is actively supporting hanas and hiding weapons for them. They just hate them for helping Palestinians and killed them.
Even as crazy as liberia was. UN enclosures were always neutral zone.
Not to mention residential buildings intentionally bombed while families were sleeping.


If isreal is not called out , anybody anywhere may do the same to another sect of people. God forbid, it may even come close to home.
They are terrorists and war criminals.

I can clearly mow see that comprehension is a problem for you. I never said civilians are valid targets, even my quote that you quoted clearly said civilian INFRASTRUCTURE are valid targets if they're being used by combatants for war purposes and that's clearly stated by the article that I linked for you to read. Abi you don't know what infrastructure means?

Those hospitals and schools were being used by Hamas, it's not even something to debate about, there are videos evidences littered on the internet of hamas firing RPG from the hospital, one of the released captive revealed that he was being kept under a school, there are tunnels under those buildings and the video of them are easy to find IF you care about the truth and not just propaganda BS.

You mean the UN schools where kids are taught to hate Jews and encouraged to become martyrs? Have you even taken your time to examine the activities of "UNRWA" in Gaza? My dear during the October 7 attack there were several UN trucks seen at the scenes either carrying away captives or dead bodies of iarealis to be used as ransom. There were several UN workers who participated in the attack, the evidence was so damning that UN had to save face by firing several of its workers in Gaza for involvement.

I don't think you have a solid grasp of this subject, you should read more about this.

Yes Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, that's not a debate, it's a fact, both them and Hamas have committed lots of war crimes.

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Keep dreaming. Blacks are cowards... That's a fact.

I always smile when middle class people scream ' Revolution '.

If there's chaos and anarchy, the really rich folks will be protected. The poor will lay their lives to defend them.

It's the soft targets like middle class they will target. See EndSARS and the protest against Tinubu.

Rufaidah Yogurt and Barakat Stores in Kano were stormed and looted. Wellcare Supermarket owned by Lebanese was guarded with guns, not even a pin was touched.

Pray for your success and that of the country. Nigerians aren't principled at all. Mass detection of Governors and other politicians to APC is a clear indicator.

it depends on the region,

Elzazzi:
We still remember the infamous BMC crew littered all over nairaland those years. They left with Buhari. Lol

lol.... No they didn't, they're the same ones doing the same kind of work for this present failure of a government, all they did was to abandon the other accounts and open a new one.

The only that I know that's no longer here is Hungerbad, that one died some years ago.

bestman09:
It's not a secret. Some of them have WhatsApp group where they discuss and agree on the modus operandi of dishing out their lies. You will see them in overdrive anytime it's month end to justify their stipends

I remember during the end bad government protest when their benefactors threatened to stop paying them their stipends because they discovered that a lot of them were doing ghost work, so all of them on this platform started including their pictures after making a pro government comment It was very funny to see it happen 😂😂😂.

chatinent:
Just like saying avoid drinking bottle water when you should be mentioning the actual brand.

Andriod is just an operating system. Which brand of phone dey give you wahala?

I have been shouting this from the rooftops for years now. This people think that Android is a phone brand itself. I don tire to dey explain give them

Engr solo makinde....I m a southerner and an ardent fan of the Igbos...I just told you what I ve seen and observed.


You kind sir...please have a pleasant evening
Bye bye

You're just regurgitating the same nonsense and false narrative that's been pushed towards the Igbo people for years.

Would the Igbos have banded together and fought the civil war the way they did if they didn't love themselves and in unison?

Would they have bounced back from that £20 set back within a generation if they didn't like and supported themselves?

Will the entire South east revere Ojukwu the way they do if they don't love one another?

Would the enter South east embark on Endless sit at home for the sake of Kanu if they don't support and stand with one another?

Would Obi have cleared the entire South east votes in the 2023 presidential election if they love pulling eachother down?

You people should stop with this false narrative already, you're only trying to project your insecurities and envy towards the Igbo by regurgitating things crap.

The Igbo apprenticeship system ( Nwa boi) is a testament to the togetherness within the Igbo, it was through this system that the Igbo were able to rapidly recover economically after the war, the infrastructures( air ports , markets, schools etc) and educational systems were rebuilt using donations by individuals, not the federal government. It is only in an Igbo community that you will see people come together, contribute money and pave their roads, it shows the togetherness spirit within the Igbo.

So what would the EU do about this petition now? Tell me what you think they will do about it.? As tinubu is scared of them.

Nigeria is not even an EU member.

Restriction on foreign aid and access to loan facilities, a few sanctions here or there. At least that's what I believe this guy is hoping would happen

WHY DO WE PRODUCE SO MANY WHITE-WORSHIPPING SLAVES IN THIS COUNTRY?

THIS LITTLE PEABRAIN BYPASSED HIS OWN AU COMMISSION AND WENT TO APPEAL TO THE EU COMMISSION.

FOR GOODNESS SAKE, WE NEED TO GATHER ALL THESE SLAVES AND GIVE THEM COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL RE-ORIENTATION TO RESET THEIR HEADS, FAILING WHICH WE THROW THEM IN JAIL AND THROW AWAY THE KEYS.

CHINA MUST LOOK AT US AND THINK ''DAMN..THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL SLAVES...REPORTING THEMSELVES TO THE EU''.

DISGRACE.

I get what you're saying but the AU is basically toothless and are themselves slaves to the west. So is just deciding to cut the chase and report directly to their ogas.

Bring out the exact page in that convection where - what you typed out was written. We all know the link to the whole book.
Bring out the statements pertaining to that claim you made.

Whatever history book copy you read that indoctrinated you is no concern of mine.
Anyway I'm less concerned about who own the land whatever, than the innocent lives I said is being lost to terrorist isreal. I refuse to digrees on that to another topic.

Tell us clearly how you want to defend the fact that isreal is committing genocide.

Article 52 - General protection of civilian objects
1. Civilian objects shall not be the object of attack or of reprisals. Civilian objects are all objects which are not military objectives as defined in paragraph 2.

2. Attacks shall be limited strictly to military objectives. In so far as objects are concerned, military objectives are limited to those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action and whose total or partial destruction, capture or neutralization, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage.

3. In case of doubt whether an object which is normally dedicated to civilian purposes, such as a place of worship, a house or other dwelling or a school, is being used to make an effective contribution to military action, it shall be presumed not to be so used.

Whatever history book that indoctrinated me? Lol... Nigerians and their hate for history and facts will never not have me bewildered. There's not a single historical document on this topic that doesn't say exactly what I just said, none.
Yes I agree that innocent lives are being lost, there's no denying the fact that Israel and Hamas has committed war crimes in Gaza but let's not twist facts just because we want to push an agenda.

millhouse:
every where oo.. I think say na only me .the annoying part is someone saying you are his last hope ..

That's the ultimate emotional blackmail strategy, they call you their last hope to make you feel guilty for not saving a drowning man. So if I didn't post anything on WhatsApp you for don die?

I'm always done with the argument when it becomes about justifying one atrocity over the other. Placing one set of life above another or those I'm fighting for a good God, you're fighting for the bad 1 stuffs.

I just have to waste a little bit more of my time to point out that you pulled that first statement out of your hat.
No. The presence of active combatants among a civilian population does not make the civilian population itself a lawful target.
Under international humanitarian law (IHL), including the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols civilians must never be targeted UNLESS THEY PARTICIPATE IN SOME FORM IN THE FIGHT.
What you typed was not boldly written anywhere.

intentionally directing attacks against civilians not taking direct part in hostilities constitute a war crime & basis for genocide.

The land traditionally belongs to the Palestinians. Many countries had brief period of foreign administration or colonization but their land was eventually returned to them.

That aside.
Both hamas and the state of isreal are terrorists.
Bye

Oga read my comments properly and stop rushing to refute just for the sake of it.
I didn't say that combatant presence makes civilians valid target, I said that the presence of combatants in a civilian infrastructure makes that infrastructure a valid target and that's well covered in the Geneva convention IF YOU'VE EVER BOTHERED TO READ IT.
https://casebook.icrc.org/a_to_z/glossary/loss-protection 👈🏽 Read this and educate yourself on this subject, my comment was about the infrastructure and not the civilians themselves.

Oga do you know that Palestinians at one point in history included the Jews, Druze and Arab populations living in that land during the ottoman period? So which "Palestinians" does it truly belong to? The Arab Palestinians that migrated from Yemen, Egypt and other surrounding areas, the Druze Palestinians or the Jewish Palestinians? And mind you, the Jews have always, always lived on that land even though a large number of them migrated to other parts of the world after the Revolt that brought down the temple in 70AD, and also during the islamic conquest which forced them to pay jizya as second class citizens, even after that, a significant number of Jews still remained in "Palestine" and never left, so are you going to tell me that these Jews that chose to remain in palestina aren't rightful owners of the land just like everyone else?

Furthermore, I will like you to Keep in mind that that land bore a name before being named palestina and the name it bore before that was Israel. Ancient Egyptian texts confirmed this, Roman text recorded it and Greek philosophers acknowledged that fact. So to say that the Jews who first named it Israel before the Romans renamed it to palestina aren't rightful owners of the land is crazy mental gymnastics.

Go and read the history of that place

Urgent 2k is another form of begging.

I don't even bother checking my WhatsApp or Facebook inbox anymore because of this begging culture in Nigeria. Every Hi and hellos come with begging.

I've stopped posting anything on WhatsApp status each time I post something the next thing I would see is " bro how far, you're looking good, make I send my aza make you show me small love" I will try to side step and go like " lol .. nothing much o, we're just pushing small small, how you dey na" but they will steer it back with "Everywhere red, I beg help me with anything you get" and before I finish reading the last message them don send account number. I don tire

I do have such experiences in Ikorodu, at garage, at oshodi, mile 2 them plenty. I dey always laugh dem dey go my way.
The ones at mainland are abgeros.

They're now on the coastal road harassing motorists and passerbys that look rich, They have a cluster at the Ajah under bridge, those ones fit rob you if you're not careful, you will also see them around Ikota shopping complex-VGC axis loitering about and looking for who to beg from. They stand close to mega chicken restaurant, they have now even started loitering around Orchid road begging anything that moves, Agungi, osapa, chisco, Marwa all the way to VI they are everywhere now, I mean everywhere.

There's another group that I call Professional coperate beggars. Those ones will dress very well, look responsible, they will approach you and ask for help with transport fares, to an unsuspecting people they are stranded fellows who needs a little help to get to where they're going. Out of your magnanimity you dip into your pocket and hand them a ₦1,000 notes thinking you've just helped a responsible fellow only for you to see them in another spot the very next day begging for another help with T-fare.

Then you also have the apprenticeship class of the professional cooperate beggarse, these apprentices are much younger than their coperate seniors. Young lads and lass of not older than 20yrs old, usually move in packs and carrying a backpack as if they're going for a hike, they move in packs of 3 or 4, two boys and two girls or 1 boy and 2 girls. Once they see a potential target, they stop talk to themselves as if they're casting a lot to determine who's going to be the one to meet and solicit for financial help from their target, if you're not paying attention or oblivious to them you will not see this activity going on between them until you're greeting with "Excuse me sir" and the begging starts.

Lagos is fast becoming a cove for all kinds of begging and it's getting out of hand
