Why is the black man myöpic? Why don't people remember that there's a tomorrow?

These same police people will retire and cry for their pension. Their children will turn out to be useless to the society bcuz of their parents atrocities.

There is no evil that the police cannot do. From organ trafficking to human trafficking.

There's a popular one in my area, all his children died serially after graduation from uni. The only survivor dropped out of school and is a junkie, the man is a mess today after wasting lives as an officer.
It has nothing to do with race.

On Tiktok, doctors there speculate he is suffering heart problems and probably has less than a year to live. They can tell from his hands and feet.

He has even stopped playing golf.

Not a fan of tinubu

1. At the end, Nigerians have to learn that refining fuel products is an expensive basis and thus trying to subsidize it is also an expensive thing

2. A lot of people in saner climes park their cars and use public transport in part because fuel is expensive there

3. Which is where this government has failed. There is no ongoing plan to provide cheap public transport that you can use instead of car. Railways, and the metro systems in Lagos and Abuja haven't seen much expansion. CNG works but is not widely available.


All in all, the elephant in the room is cheap public transport. Also railways expansion( full disclosure, i love rail transport)
As much as I love Railway, the cost of building one is herculean and might not be prudent.

Borrowing 10s of billions of dollars to build and maintain heavily subsidised bullet train services just isn't economical for now.

He has made such statements in the past. Even his son said that the Southern Christians deserved what the murderous Fulani herdsmen did to them.

How did you manage to squiz Obi into this news?

Obi is just giving some people dementia!
The easiest way for Peter Obi to lose Northern Christian votes is to be seen with frolicking with Elrufai. It can easily be used against him. Elrufai was nasty to the Christians in his state when he was governor. He didn't do enough to curb the murderous herdsmen. His son justified their activites in Southern Kaduna.

I initially even thought Elrufai was a saint and was just being misread until the state governor accused him of excesssively borrowing during his time in office. It was worsened by reports of his ironfist rule in the state where he toilerated zero opposition and there were cases of missing persons.

Peter Obi desperately wants power. He better distance himself from Elrufai.

Reno Omokri makes his case hard by keeping silent.

I sense he isn't squeaky clean regarding all the allegations.

The kids would be frightened to say something against their dad. They don't want to lose their father's love.

Reno should defend himself. That's what matters now.

Foreign Affairs › Re: EU Will Use €200 Billion Frozen Russian Assets To Rebuild Ukraine by grandstar(m): 3:35pm On Sep 01, 2025
This will really piss off Putin. He had planned to use that money to insulate the Russian economy when it went into war with Ukraine. It had been building a massive financial chest for that purpose ever since it experienced the 2014 backlash from the West when it first invaded Ukraine. He knew they would hit Russia hard the next time he tried such a misadventure.

He just did not know how hard! They went way beyond what he expected, and even seizing this cash and others.. He didn't play his cards too well.

Oga,
He wants to purchase all his crude oil in Nigeria but he will only buy what is made available to him. A lot of Nigerian crude has been sold years in advance under Buhari. In addition, the country isn't yet producing up to its OPEC capacity, which also worsens the shortfall.

No one is accusing the woman of abandoning the children

If Omokri feels what she's saying is misleading, he should tell his own side of the story.

He claims he is a pastor. The public therefore expect a lot from him. He needs to give a squeaky clean image. His being a public critic is what has made him a public spectacle.

He should go and clear his name.

Oakenshield:
Saudi wholeheartedly supported Israel against Iran quietly. Yet mofos are saying trash
Rumours had it that Iran wanted to fight dirty and start bombing Saudi oil installations to drive up the price of crude oil. It even wanted to make the Strait of Homuz impassable through bomb attacks. This Strait handles about 20% of all crude oil shipments globally.

Saudi Arabia has been trying to checkmate the Houthis in Yemen but were unsuccessful. Israel must have done them a service.

Please note that I do not support the present carnage in Gaza. I just like telling things as they are.

Na who get money dey japa, 200k is even small dey should make it 500k. You get 10m to relocate and you are complaining about the price of no 1 identity to travel.
My brother, you haved answered correctly.

For most people, the passport is an investment- that is to those who want to Japa, study or for a business trip.

The others are those who travel for tourism. To be in that class, you need to have money in the first place. The 100k is the least of their problems when you remember that ticket cost 1m or more.

Nigerians are fond of taking pills for any man's problem.

Travel › Re: Nigerian Passport Fees Double By 2025 by grandstar(m): 9:51pm On Aug 30, 2025
What's all this noise about passport?

There are basically four types of people that get want passports in Nigeria:

1. Tourists

These are the ones that want to travel overseas for tourism. You have to be middle class and above to achieve this

To these set up people, the increase is affordable.

2. Business travels

To these class, the increased passport cost is a non-issue. It is the least of their problem.

3. Those travelling for studies

100k for a passport is the least of their studies, considering they'll spend nothing less than 10m on tuition alone. Flight ticket alone is over 1m.

We've not included money for rent, feeding and other expenses. The passport is not even 0.5% of their expenses.

4. Those who want to JAPA whether legally or illegally.

For these ones, this 100k is a non-issue. Visa denial is their greatest headache. Visa fees cost at
least 250k.

We've not included plane ticket, rent money when they get there, feeding, transport and so on. 100k for a new passport is the least of their problems.

Most of those getting a passport see it as an investment, so 100k won't finish them

Nigerians like taking paracetamol for another person headache.

Iran weakened 😂😂😂😂

Same Iran that almost turned Israel into a car park that Netanyahu had to go beg Trump to broker a cease fire.

Same Iran that renamed the iron dome to “wooden dome” with hypersonic missiles
I am neither pro-Israel nor pro-Iran. I detest for instance the carnage going on in Gaza.

Forget the bluff and defiance of Iran- it was hit hard by both the Israeli shelling and that from the US. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have agreed so quickly to a ceasefire.

I was amazed at how quick it jumped at it. Isreal isn't stupid. Both are hurt, but Isreal's persistent activities in the Middle East shows its military capabilities are still strong, or much stronger than Iran's. Iran's proxies have been badly weakened in the region, and Iran has been quite powerless to do anything about it. It couldn't even save Al-Assad next door to it.

One just has to be honest with oneself.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Yemeni's Houthi Govt Confirms Israel's Killing Of Prime Minister, Ministers by grandstar(m): 4:33pm On Aug 30, 2025
Israel has done it again.

The truth is that with Iran weakened, it can't support its Shiite allies like before.

Israel's weakening of Hezbollah for instance, led to the collapse of the Al-Assad government in Syria.

It is having a multiplier effect.

The Sunni Gulf States, as much as they resent Israel's activities in Gaza and the West Bank, secretly appreciate how it has decimated Iran's proxies in the Middle East.

Water Levels varies with the Seasons. The Level obviously rises during the Rainy Season and much lower during the Dry spells. As a result, we tend to enjoy more stable Power Supply during the Rainy Spells that’s why a lot of people attributes/believe that there is a markedly improvement in Power Supply during the Rainy days.
It definitely wasn't like this last year raining season.

PoLItiCoORAclo:
Dem wan finish us dry kpatakpata! This administration of BAT should take it easy on ordinary Nigerians. Must they milk us dry before they leave office?
It's a US policy.

The normal practice globally is that when small packages are sent through the post, the recipient country does not place an import tax on them. They enter duty free.

This may be because they may be gifts, product samples and so on, and would not make sense taxing them.

Trump has removed that exemption. The $80 will most likely all go to the US government.
