I don't think it is a matter of ethnic or religious sentiments.

It is simply a matter of cowardice. You know how a cowardly bully with low self esteem is always quick to 'show power' when dealing with a seemingly 'weaker' target, but cowers and hides when confronted with a strong target. That is exactly what it is.

The strongest people in Nigeria today are the northerners, simply because they don't fear death and are implacably bold.

The Creek boys of the South South, particularly Ijaw Delta and Ikwerre Rivers are also formidable. Their oil bunkering and the few years Jonathan was in power afforded them the opportunity to amass choice weapons and they also have the advantage of a difficult to navigate terrain that is hostile and perilous to outsiders.

Otherwise, much of the South is too complaint and conciliatory, thus signalling weakness which is what cowardly bullies like the Nigerian Army likes.

That is why you see them always eager to apply maximum force to oppress soft targets like unarmed civilians or even Ipob. In fact, the Army's favorite posting is to the East to 'deal with' anything they imagine to be Ipob. Post them to the treacherous plains of Zamfara to fight bandits or deeper Borno to fight insurgents and rhey will start peeing in their pants and telling you stories of how 'saboteurs', corrupt politicians, and their corrupt generals are sabotaging their efforts.

The same style Israel is using against who? Against its own citizens?

What kind of wahala is this for goodness sake? This cannot be just community issue but rather criminal eliments in the area.
I based on the number of senior army officers killed, this cannot be an issue of going to rescue a youth held hostage. Who is youth and his importance that will make a colonel and 2 majors enter the creeks with other soldiers? No ordinary Nigerian youths life is worth that stress based on the antecedents of our security agencies.
You sure say no be oyel deal gone wrong?
May their souls rest in peace.

This makes a lot of sense.

We have a massive competence problem. Our government and our system has been so bastardized that the level of institutional incompetence we have on our hands would only lead to the demise of this contraption we call a country.

Forget the western world and other strong countries. No where in the third world would you find twenty something soldiers massacred by ragtag non state actors within its territory during peace time...when the country is not experiencing a civil war.

Our soldiers, policemen, and much of our entire public service is largely populated by incompetent idiots with poor orientation, misplaced motivations, corrupt mindset, and perverse attitudes. That's why the soldiers are orientated to form voltron when facing unarmed civilians, but are easily routed by armed civilian gangs.

That's why over 20 armed soldiers cannot hold their ground, cannot call for immediate reinforcement/ air support, and would die like chickens under the ambush of ragtag gangs. Just like how our policemen who like packing themselves like sardines in hilux are killed regularly by drive by criminals. No sense of positioning, no alertness, no strategy, no technology, nothing.

We are seriously endangered as a society. We need a hard reset. After that hard reset, we must prioritise merit and competence across the entire public service / government institutions, including our security forces. That is the only way. You can't give what you don't have.

When I first read the name I wanted to criticize even though I'm yoruba man, but when I read his credentials, it silent any anger in me.


I think you should stop critical of every appointment of govt, if you read it and you see it's round peg in round hole.

If he puts any of ur tribe thr, you as a man that attacking and attacking, personally you won't see anything gain from it rather than joy that he is my tribeman even though it's at detriment to nation as a whole.( If such a person is below average)


I think you should start attacking appointments of a government, if you notice the person is average or other tribe are more qualified to hold it

So there is no 'round peg in round hole' from Cross River State or Delta State, or Benue State or even Abia State to man this position? Some of you like to play clever by half, but you can only deceive yourselves.

Better enjoy and partake in the awalokan bonanza at all cost, because when the day of reckoning comes - as it must - those of you who benefitted from it and the vast majority of you who didn't benefit from it but merely supported it for sentimental reasons would all suffer for it. Take it to the bank.

Peace at whose expense?

All these oversabi women sef. Can't ever be me.

Ntoor.

Why buy coins with already high market cap
No room for decent profit
Who advised you to waste $2000 ?

High market cap is always relative, as we never can tell how high high can go. I guess I wanted to ride the bull.

I don't consider them as waste though. They can stay there for two years if need be. Better than actually 'wasting' the money on liquor and yansh.

wonlasewonimi:
With the volume of cash being pumped into spot Etf, BTC will go past 100k by June.

I don't have any experience with 'technical analysis' and I don't claim to be an expert, but I am swayed by the simple fact that there's only a limited amount of total btc, and with more money chasing a limited supply of btc, then it will inevitably increase in value. This is somewhat commonsensical. In the next ten years, one btc might even be $1m.

I'd say this is probably a better long term investment than property. Maybe your children will appreciate you for leaving them a healthy btc wallet as inheritance than a house.

The way I see it, only a highly disruptive and currently unimaginable event can stall the rise of bitcoin.

doyin01:
What are the meme coins that were unproductive ??

Some of them are here. I've been given a little hope only by myro and pepe.

That aimx in particular is looking rubbish. Value has halved since I bought it a couple of days ago.

So, more knowledgeable egbons, which of these should I get rid of?

OgogoroFreak:
You all choose to learn the hard way.

BUY BTC!!!

I swear. I got some btc in a different wallet dedicated to btc alone. But I'm kind of regretting dabbling into these alt coins in the hope of rapid 10x. I agree I got in late but then, ah ah. Maybe it's a good idea to just exit and focus on btc.

Afe11:
Meme? AI? You are probably in a different market sir. These last three weeks, My coq is 3x , wen is 4x minus the recent dip, shib is 4x, meme is 30% and Pepe is 1.5x . AI is on fire. Vra 2x, Rndr 2x, mdt 2x, phb 2x, aitech 3X , aipad 70% , cgpt is waking up with the incoming Nvidia conference and moreeee factorsss. Remember these are the ones I own , many more I don't own are doing crazy numbers. If you doubt me, you can Open coin gecko now and check every single coin I mentioned.

I definitely didn't get in on the action as early as you did (I been dey jonse). I got Shib, mog, ARB, AIMX early last week and till now nothing to give me hope. Shib is most annoying as it has been stuck since I got it.

Will BTC keep going all the way to $100k? Make I know whether I go throw my entire life savings into this thing, lol.

The $2k i spread across meme and Ai coins have so far been unproductive, either declining or just standing still. What's with the slow performance in a supposed bull season.

N500k my foot. Left to me, the 'minimum wage' should be reduced to N15, 000 sef. And I am serious. And I say this advisedly, for good reason....

First, the concept of minimum wage in Nigeria is largely applicable only to government workers. Especially Federal Government workers. Unfortunately, our entire public service across all tiers of government is predominantly populated by unproductive idiots, employed not on merit and measured not by input-driven deliverables, but merely on the basis of shameless nepotism, parochiialism, favouritism, man-know-manism, parapoism, and other negative 'isms'.

The majority of the idiots who call themselves civil servants/public servants are unspeakably incompetent and unproductive, and do not even deserve to be paid their current wages, let alone any upgraded minimum wage.

We can only begin to talk about a fair minimum wage when we start implementing a productivity, competence, value and merit based economic system. If you put in fair work then you deserve a fair wage. That is how it is done in the Western World and in any other sane society.

Tochj:
Thank God 🙏 for people like you who still think like humans.
The lady was told to apologise
She refused
And because of her
Thousands of workers should lose their jobs because of one woman?

Told to apologise for what?

Why didn't Erisco sue her according to laid down CIVIL laws? There is nothing she did that requires police arrest or detention. So why twist the laws and use your useless money to compromise the police to perpetuate injustice because you feel somebody maligned your product?

God punish Erisco and whoever is supporting the stupid man's barbaric behaviour.

“All the money yahoo yahoo people steal in one year is not up to the amount of money stolen in govt in one day”

- Peter Obi

The comments from someone who wants to be statesman. A bigger crime doesn't pardon a smaller crime. Only sociopaths have this approach to life.

If your brain cells weren't so impaired, you will discern that the point he is making is that it is a waste of time to focus on the smaller crime when the bigger crime is what is holding us back as a nation. Prioritisation!

Useless country with useless institutions.

God will punish anybody who knowingly purchases any Erisco Product. The company has to fold up. Let its unfortunate employees look for other jobs.

Akpabio is one of the most frivolous politicians in the 4th Republic. Openly and unashamedly corrupt, hedonistic, bombastic, shallow minded, and faux flamboyant.

The fact that Tinubu actively supported and endorsed such a character to be the Senate President tells you everything you need to know about Tinubu himself.

DeepThroater:
The demographic of Delta north especially in Asaba has significantly shifted due to the influx of people "across the Niger" buying up properties and settling there instead of their Onitsha .

Delta north already has a significant population (close to 50% of the entire Delta population).

In a few years with the unchecked migration and settlement of those across the Niger, the demography of Delta state will be drastically altered towards Delta north and the gentleman agreement of rotating between zones and tribes may not suffice once a majority is established .

One important historical fact to consider is how same Delta north conspired with Enugu to invade and occupy the defunct Midwest region.
The outcome being the dissatrous Okonkwo Enugu puppet regime that aligned with the Biafran rogue regime.

I believe it is in the best interest of the good people of Delta central and south to seriously consider at all levels to push for the creation of Anioma state.

Naturally , Asaba was not supposed to be the capital but Marryam Babaginda ensured it was after the balkanization of old Bendel.

IPOB lunatics never used to include Delta as part of their expansionist map but will limit themselves to Delta north but after Obidence and Ekpa madness the entire Delta is now part of their Biafra.

I am calling on all leaders , politicians and elders in central and southern Delta to push for the creation of Anioma .

Why not post this on your Facebook, with your full chest, so that we will know who is talking?

heniford2:
someone wakeup just to destroy someone means of survival if it's me I will use her as an example to others so that u will understand better.

Typical animalistic mindset of a horrible Nigerian. No sense, no understandiing. You will use her an example by bribing the useless Nigerian police to twist the law against her, and jeopardising the public image of your useless business in the process. Classic case of cutting the nose to spite the face.

There's no essence to be honest. It is meaningless and empty. We just invent purpose/beliefs/goals to justify our meaningless time here.

The sun has been rising and setting for billions of years, with utmost routineness and indifference. Mother nature is aloof; e no send any human being.

Regardless of our 'achievements' or the lack thereof, we would all fizzle out and be eventually forgotten - sooner than later - as if we never even existed in the first place.

Soukiss:
ur the biggest coward is how to said thank u for a SOJA that give out all he hv to protect that ur useless life

U call him coward stupid ipob

You this miserable illiterate. Go and get a proper education before quoting your superior.

Who still patronises any rubbish produced by the so-called Erisco Foods? Very useless company with that fat faced fuucktard that calls himself the CEO.

I hate small minded bullies. Because one insignificant person gave a bad review of your commercial product, you think you should use corrupt institutions of government to oppress, traumatise and persecute her. God punish you and your company.

Arrogant bastard. Would anybody remember her so-called review by now if you had simply ignored it? Common sense is not so common.

Left to me, that company would fold up because nobody should patronise its worthless products.

Only in the north. If it was in the South, the cowardly soldiers would be ever ready to flex 'power'.

NovusHomo:
You knew it was a matter of time. It is quite difficult for a wealthy woman to be happy in marriage. God only knows why. It doesn't help that madam chose to bleach her skin, and started calling herself "evangelist. It is well, as they say.

Well, a wealthy woman can be 'very happy' in marriage, as long as the husband is glad to be the meek lapdog who sees nothing, hears nothing, overlooks everything and plays along quite nicely. In other words, wealthy women wouldn't mind a 'useful idiot" as a husband.

Where the problem lies is if the man wants to assert himself in any way or claim any atom of alpha/manly traits. How dare you carry small girls (even if she herself is carrying small boys); how dare you question me. Etc.

Mid life crisis.
Depression is real

Where in the world does early 70s qualify as "mid life" ?

If she could manage his irresponsibility for 30 years and through siring 4 adult sons, then she can certainly manage it till death. I don't know what is wrong with people.

His multiple hundreds of millions of dollars of cash and assets, gone.. Fizzled... Dissipated. Swallowed by obscure and numerous others. His schemings, laurels, accomplishments and moves, all meaningless right now.

This is what we mean when we say vanity upon vanity.

The routineness of it. The banality of it. The indifference of the universe. The indifference of the universe!

But people no dey hear.

How come the janus faced, mealy mouthed Kperogi forgot to smuggle in Peter Obi's name this time?

VeeVeeMyLuv:
That is danger of having "bad" leader who claim to be "strong" not like Jona.

The person will always welcome bad wicked, oppressive advice that will strangulate his people.

Aswear Such leaders consider alleviating the hardship of people as a sign of weakness.
They equate improving, bettering the lives of the people to being weak leader.

Omo very dangerous specie of human beings.

But are always very happy and fulfilled with the policy that makes life difficult for masses

There's nothing more dangerous than a 'strong' leader who is also corrupt, clueless, and tribalistic. That is a recipe for disaster.

The only kind of 'strong' leaders that can drive growth and development in a third world country is the Lee Kwan Yu archetype. Strong, yes, but also nationalistic, puritan, above board, public spirited and self-less.

Someone like Obasanjo was somewhat strong but also somewhat corrupt. But extremely nationalistic and public spirited. Hence the progress Nigeria made under him.

Someone like Yar Adua or Goodluck could have been accused of being 'weak', but at least they were conscious of the public good. If a policy seemed to cause hardship, they revised it to the extent possible, based on overwhelming public opinion.

The disastrous bastard they call BAT is neither of these things. He claims to be strong, yet he lacks public support or a national base (only his Yoruba tribalists supported him), he is exceedingly corrupt, completely selfish, totally sectional and tribalistic, and absolutely clueless. You can't have these combinations and yet be purporting to be 'strong' and be taking 'hard decisions' that impoverish the masses. He will end up deposed. Mark it. His useless pride and hubris wouldn't save him. He will be disgracefully forced out of office before the end of this tenure.
