To defend Tinubu is one of the hardest jobs on earth.

Rocket Science is ABC compared to that job o.

Naijanascam:
This is laughable and insulting to sane minds

HA!

These people should fear God nau....even if they have no regards for the mental capacity of Nigerians.

So that's the defence now? Dem miss Road.

This girl is too "clean" for this narrative.

Looks like a city girl who went to her hometown and decided to assist her OGs with pictures to prove.

Buddha3:
The world over, those involved are only consulted if the producers want to use the exact names and details involved. That is the only legal basis for consultations and agreements.

Much as the incident was painful, it does not change the fact there's absolutely no legal framework that mandates anybody to consult the families before recreating the incident through movies, songs or books. What you Nigerians are doing right now is purely tantamount to emotional blackmail.

Do you know there are children today who do not know about the ALUU story? Do you know most Nigerians have even forgotten about it? Since you're preaching decency, can you be honest enough to tell us that you remembered the ALUU incident since it happened to this day? If this movie had not been made, would you even remember those boys? Linda Ikeji should be appreciated more than vilified. She's keeping the memories of those boys alive.

Our prayers and thoughts have always been with the affected families. But this story has to be told, like Chijioke Iloanya who lost his life in the hands of Anambra state SARS officers, like countless other stories.

You sound like a beneficiary or an advocate of Linda...(no offence).

Did you see the video? Did you see where an animal was hitting the head of someone's child continously with a stick and the spasm that resulted from being set ablaze with petrol and tyres?

What memory is Linda Ikeji keeping alive?
The families obviously have not healed. No sane parent who saw that horrible video of the killing has healed...yes maybe life had moved on but that doesn't mean it's been forgotten.
Especially when no one was held culpable as usual.

No one is preaching decency....just that we shouldn't justify wrong when it suits us.

Does the fact that lawyers defend known criminals in court mean its right? Just because there's a legal framework to back such?

Surely, Linda must've consulted her lawyers before doing this and they've assured her there won't be any fallout...but law is not static but dynamic.

Why that exact event? Of all the myriad of problems in Nigeria why ALUU 4?

There was nothing else to make a movie about? It's cos the families may not be buoyant enough to afford great lawyers who would dig up loopholes to be exploited.

We're all entitled to our convictions though.

Buddha3:
Oga, every event that occurs in life must someday be told as a story, whether the parties involved like it or not.

If I reside in Finland and decide to make a movie of the ALUU incident, will these parents come there and tell me to shut it down?

You people should learn to sometimes bury rubbish sentiments and reason issues logically. What's all this noise sef? When books and movies were made about the Biafran civil war, was the entire Igbo land asked for consent as to whether they wanted their story to be told or not?

Una too dey do for this country!

You're the one being illogical and frankly hypocritical.

Put yourself in the shoes of one of those parents. It could be anyone.

How would you like the said movie to be narrated? Without your consent? There's nothing bad in just seeking consent and even compensating the families.

Nobody is saying the movie shouldn't be made....just do it the right way.

World over, those involved are consulted before true events are written or made into movies.

It's unfortunate it's Nigeria else, NETFLIX, FILMONE and Linda would pay through their noses.

I guess its becaue most of the families are perceived to be poor...You can't even try this rubbish with some families in Nigeria

There are ways to go about such arrogance and abuse trust me.

Do unto others as you want to be done to you!!!

Mouth dey pain you?

ZombieSlayer1:
tell the ancient fossil to go and rest like old men are supposed to do instead of trying to force himself to rule us.

You must be very supid to tell your father shutup.

Not supporting Tinubu doesn't mean you should lack manners and be a goat about it.

For your information, I'm not his fan but that doesn't mean I should be rude to others.

This is why you obidients are regarded as crass cry babies.

Ode!!!
Ewu!!!
Akuya!!!

Basicend:
Oga shut up. Tinubu is unfit. He should go and sit down.

This is just wrong.

No justification.

Oldage is inevitable.

This is a very difficult serious case of pick the message and ignore the messenger...hard as it may be.

Abject poverty is the problem not portable... despite my disdain for his lifestyle.

For portable, this distasteful song only brings to bare the rotten state of mind of the poor Nigerian (no generaliszations intended).

Abject poverty has made people lose their senses of worth, shame and become mindlessly religious.

Kobonaire4:
But then again

1.Government won't be throwing money at NNPC in the name of subsidy

2.We actually save naira

3.We reduce our budget deficit by a lot. (To do away with it involves being more productive)

4.Instead of government dashing importers dollars to import, the importers will go and look for their dollars to import...

5.Domestic refining will make more and more sense.

Time the subsidy went...because if we have been seeing fuel scarcity every year since 1990...that means subsidy is not working.

These assumptions are based on a working system.

Yes deregulation is good
But you'll come to find that they are the major marketers and will always find a way to sabotage the whole thing.

Unless we decentralize, which they don't want.

Na wa o. Due consultations with stakeholders since October last year.

He is Sensitive indeed.

I bet he's shocked as well that there's even scarcity.

Mr Shocked Sensitivity.

Yet they have the effrontery to campaign.

Fear anybody who doesn't have shame!!!

And what would that change exactly?

This thing is about principle and circumstance.

Look at them, they've started again.

Tinubu wife na Christian....just like Buharis cook was sold to be a Christian then...senseless submission. Do unto others as you would like them do unto you.

There is definitely something wrong.

Clear the mess in your house before you point at another man's house.

Defend your candidate clearly and justify your sanity, before you point at others.

He who comes for equity must come with clean hands.

Don't sell your soul for crumbs.

Remember your generations unborn while you vote.

sqlPAIN:
Very Good....At least, God has put them out of the missery of living in Nigeria. I wish I could trade places with one of them.

Hmm....Count your many blessings money cannot buy...

Masacre Area 1

What a relief. At least you provided a solution.
Considerate woman.

Not all these Hypocrites.

*WHY YOU SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS TO PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA*

Came across this instructive piece and thought to share so please read till the end.

Social Media has made us not to know who our mates are any longer.

Because each of us is holding a smart phone and has data to post, we don't take a minute to reflect on the possible personality of the person at the other end communicating with us.

And I will share a personal experience.

Few days ago, I shared a content on a particular WhatsApp platform which attracted a few positive comments from members of the group.

But someone slid into my dm and made some observations on things I could improve on the project.

I didn't know him or her from anywhere (but from the way he spoke I could almost tell he or she is my junior). Well, for me, that doesn't really matter. I just said "thank you, I appreciate" and let him go.

The next day, I implemented about 90% of his or her recommendations.

Then I did something that only a few people would consider doing.

I went back to the person, submitted the latest version of the work and asked for further criticism (critics are one of the greatest assets you have on any project, unfortunately most people don't know this).

He or she looked at it and confessed that I have a near perfect work.

I thanked him or her.

But then, I went back again, introduced myself and requested to know more about whoever he or she is if he or she doesn't mind.

At that point, I was expecting to get just the name and maybe gender so as to enable me save the number accordingly.

But I was shocked what I got instead.

I received a detailed profile of a man whose first son is about my age mate.

As at the time the man started his career with UNICEF, I wasn't born yet. He had gone ahead to work as a consultant to United Nations for over 20 years.

He spends at least 9 months outside Nigeria each year with his children living in UK, US and Canada - but see me in the same WhatsApp group with him.

After my conversation with him, I sat back and reflected on the different dramas I have seen on social media.

I have watched people insult people they have no idea what their profile is, especially on a WhatsApp Group.

Sometimes you may share a post and someone drop a comment that is not too complimentary and the next thing that will follow will be loads of insult.

In fact, I have watched one C-suite exec exit a particular WhatsApp Group with tears because of the insult he received from a young girl in the group (obviously the girl had no idea of whom the person is while releasing her poison).

This is quite common on Alumni WhatsApp Group.

Imagine you are in NIFES Alumni WhatsApp Group. On that platform, there are people that graduated in 1980 and there are people that graduated in 2021.

But they both have one thing in common - they are both alumni. And with that common factor they are both entitled to be on the same platform without any form of discrimination.

Now, you would imagine that the person that graduated in 1980 may have retired as a Director in CBN, he might be the owner of one of the best hospitals in US, he might be a Professor at Imperial College or a senior executive at Google.

Of course the person that graduated in 2021 might still be doing NYSC.

So imagine that on one of those occasions a controversial issue like why Peter Obi/Atiku/Tinubu must not win 2023 election is raised on the platform and our NYSC guy start raining insults on the Imperial Professor for holding a different view.

I want you to just imagine that for a minute.

We also see this happen on Facebook comments.

Sometimes you just notice a comment on someone's post. Of course you don't know the person that dropped the comment neither do you care to know. But all you know is that the person must be "a bastard and a very useless person" for saying that and that is exactly what you drop as your own reply.

Friends,

I have an advice for you today.

Don't allow that device you are holding to deceive you. We are together on this blue App and on other social platforms, we share jokes and learn from each other, but we are not mates.

Resist the temptation of saying "who do he think he is, he should get out from here".

Respect for elders is not only for those in your village, it also applies on this Social Media street. Unfortunately you can't even recognise who an elder is here - so just respect everyone, respond to them with courtesy and deep respect.

jaeyking:
Now do we blam our leaders or the white for all this

The citizens are our own poison

Even if a good leader emerges if the followers are still filled with hate,

2023 will be a hugh hurdle for the next leader

Honestly. The hate is real.

This video brought back good memories but most of all the unity in this presentation is surreal.

The ethnic and religious divide has never been this obvious.

NL has become a true picture of this divide.

We need to let love lead.

Mekoyaw:
WTF!!! Are u for real which company in Nigeria pays that lump sum for such insignificant job roles.

It could be p.a.

He didn't clarify.

udomonday:
don't go and use at this junction at the company o,so that they will not think that you are still a conductor.

Una no go kii person.

Oya correct am na.

You can't just criticize him and leave him hanging.

At the end of the day though, looking at some wealthy folk who can't speak English well, this saying a White BIG BOY once said to me comes to mind.

When Nigerians were busy making jest of Mama Patience Jonathan, the guy said...

Y'all pathetic. Y'all got the diction, she's got the dough".

That hit me like....wtf He's right you know?

Don't even bother.

Tribalism, Sexism, Religious Profiling and Bigotry is their identity.

The other day a prominent sexist was caught pants down happily married to and always eating food prepped by a woman. I'm sure he's back here with a different moniker.

Judgement always comes.

Thank God for the Internet, where they think anything goes so they turn keypad warriors. They naively think they're anonymous though.

diggindeep:
It should be Nigerians again.

Stop tribalism

Hmm...I hope this (f) I'm seeing here is real...that'll be great.(no pun intended pls).

We need more (f)s thinking like this.

Respect they say...

Sheistoopretty:
And what have u done/been doing for dis ur boyfriend?

Or it's about you, you and you all the time?

For real? So how about the son? Does he deserve death as well?
What if the woman is who they were truly after?

C'mon now, no one deserves this...no matter what.

Candidlady:
Ogun state


why kill the woman.. killing the husband should have been enough

rip to her

The Internet never forgets.

Vet Doc Alert.

Animal rights activist.

Good thing she's abroad else she'll be "delivered" of that love before she becomes a teenager.

I remember I used to love animals like this when I was young but now I can't stand non of them.

Wetin Naija Girls do you.

Take it easy o.

Abi are your sisters, female Cuzos and Nieces not Nigerian Girls?

Kollins11:
I wish I knew the guy that broke the heart of this particular useless Nigerian girl, I would have credited him 15k and also buy him some drinks & smoke instantly.

This is exactly how to treat a useless Nigerian girl. Always dump her sorry ass after you're done drilling the oil in her smelly kpekus.

Ini wan Cashout.

Really bad of her. Perhaps she saw no benefit in diligently serving her master/mistress.

Well, what is bad is bad.

The shame is not worth it.

As for the madam, she's really callous and not security conscious at all. If you know, you know.

Tru lais

The fact that they're not ashamed to show their faces means they feel very entitled to a reward. No shame

This is distasteful...though its now an accepted anormally.

After collecting these peanuts, they start to complain when the Investor gets his return on investment via embezzlement and poor governance
