Good news I guess. Better to leave the floor open for the Bolt /Uber guys. I'm a frequent traveller and it is always a hassle to book a Bolt from the airport . Uber is totally nonexistent. And for me, using these 'agbero' Airport Taxis is a put off. Very greedy and unprofessional idiots. I haven't used them since 2015 or so.

FAAN should even extend the ban to Lagos where those taxis are daylight robbers... Although I am usually able to meander and escape their bullshit if I land at MM2.

Low lives?? What can be lower than your Indigenous senseless people?
What can be lower than a group of people that kills themselves like flies?

I don’t know why you’re barking like a sick bingo, I have simply asked you a very simple question. It is either you answer or move on.

You this hateful Yoruba Muslim. I can see that Adenuga has finally thrown some crumbs to your pensioner father, hence you've stopped obsessing about him. Your entire life was dedicated to an unhealthy and hateful obsession with M. Adenuga, now you have inexplicably shifted that obsession and hate to the Igbos.

You obviously need help but none will come. So yours is a case of living your death before you die. Hopeless.

FreeBiafra2018:
They know say we're no longer push overs. I repeat again, we will decimate Nigeria Army beyond their greatest imagination. Let those who continues to argue and looking down on our capability and capacity, let them continue while we continue to advance day by day on our goals and before their very eyes

You're a big fool. Opening your big yamayama mouth to boast rubbish while hiding in one bush somewhere.

If you want to "decimate" the Nigerian Army in furtherance of your so-called Biafran agenda, no problem. Why not go and bomb the Army Headquarters in Abuja? Why not bomb Defence HQ Abuja? Why not take the war to your 'enemies' in Abuja?

If forcing ordinary 'Biafrans' to sit at home, and killing them and kidnapping them and scattering their shops and burning their vehicles in your so called Biafra land is your own strategy for 'decimating' the Nigerian Army and demonstrating your "capability", then I can only conclude that Igbos are in trouble.

And I am inclined to say that Igbos are lost. Their elite (political and business) are busy parading around forming rubbish. Very individualist bunch of idiots, sorry to say. They can't mobilise resources to exterminate miscreants like you and your Simon Ekpa, Nnamdi Kanu and the lower level never do wells. Na to carry body up and down forming successful for their individual pockets.

I'm beyond disgusted. An implosion is imminent. And it will be well deserved. This ethnic group has to purge itself and rise from its own ashes like a phoenix in order to be reborn.

Rubbish.

Imagine the stupidity. Will they be alive then? Are they God?

God would put them to shame like the worthless dust they are.

You don't start a 'relationship' with any girl you met online. Anywhere online... Worst of all Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Nairaland, etc (in that order). Not to mention olosho sites like Tinder and the rest.

As a veteran in the game I can tell you that lots of correct 'relationshipable', marriageable girls are not active online. You have to meet and engage them in real life. The old fashioned way. Yeah they could have a Facebook account or something, but not really the types who live and breathe social media.

Any girl that is super active on these social media platforms is lost. Date or marry at your own risk.

Reinaldo:
May God give us wisdom

Wisdom is garnered, not bestowed.

Stealing the people's mandate is worse than a military coup that truncates that stolen mandate. Read again.

This boy looks like a gatecrasher at his own engagement.

He is gone.

Everyone in Abuja knows that.

Of course it has to be a Yoruba element.

The blind, zombie-like tribalistic solidarity they displayed in supporting this cancerous BAT will never be forgotten.

gidgiddy:
Not likely Igbos are going end anything. Without Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, Nigeria will not know that Igbos are angry with Nigeria

And yet Igbos are the victims of the Igbos anger with Nigeria?

I can't stand this fake pastor, but I agree with him on this point.

I detest entitlement and ingratitude. It is a mortal sin.

Even when they release the so-called Nnamdi Kanu, this Ekpa fool and other diehard idiots benefiting from the situation would claim that he has been injected with some rubbish or that he has been compromised by the 'Zoo leaders', which makes him no longer fit to lead the movement.

It is a pity that Igbos allowed these scoundrels and nonentities like Nnamdi Kanu, Ekpa whatever and the rest of them assume ascendancy in what is otherwise a legitimate movement.

It is on Igbos to end the madness. And they must do this by ending Kanu, Ekpa, and others like them. If there needs to be a well oiled movement to address injustices, it can't be led by scallywags, ragtags, profiteers, and opportunists like these.


The Igbos as a collective - or even as a conscientious and competent fraction of the collective - possess the resources and wherewithal to toss these jesters in the trashcan, end this madness, and restart the process to correct injustices and imbalances against the Igbo Collective. How they do this is their business. Whether or not they do this is their business. End.

And they would say they submit names to DSS for 'screening'. Aboki DSS would yawn over the list and look for opportunities for enrichment or oppression.

Our story is one of institutional incompetence, corruption, inefficiency, waste, and decay. Everything is haphazard, disorganised arbitrary and totally unscrupulous. Gosh.

My dear country Nigeria is flawed beyond redemption.

Hehe.

The Obidient movement was masses driven. E get why. Peter Obi did not have any godfather and did not really need corrupt associations. He was pragmatically/expediently pressured into seeking some needless alliances or 'familiarisation' calls with bad elements, but then, he remained masses-driven for the most part. E get why.

He wouldn't have needed to compensate degenerate and publicly identifiable crooks by appointing them into his cabinet. Go and ask about his cabinet as Anambra Governor. And ask why many of them were not milling around him like the parasites that call themselves Asiwaju Boys.

If you know the darkest corners of hell this BAT of a thing had to enter in order to steal the people's mandate, you wouldn't act surprised. And of course the dirty denizens of these numerous 'hells' felt safe and at home with him for obvious reasons. E be things.

STRI1:
Get educated brother. If you will read this out if HATE.

We Muslims have a leader, just as every sane society does. The Sultan of Sokoto is the leader of Muslims in Nigeria. And the moon is being sighted all over the country before it can be declared seen for the declaration of a new month.

Love from a Muslim brother. Thanks.

Why is he the leader? Is he elected via some clear process instituted by convention? How, if so?

Otherwise, who appointed, affirmed, and gazetted him a leader? Is it his birthright? If so how? On what basis?

Those of us 'ignorant' Nigerians would like to know. We are assuming that Islam in Nigeria is not a cult so there ought to be transparency in these things. I know say una dey quick vex. Small thing, you don begin find your papa to declare fatwa upon. But no be fight. Na information we dey seek.

I think the man needs to die there for the greater cause. This sort of institutional stupidity... Institutional partiality... Institutional amenability to the bigotr, whims and caprices of individual office holders prevalent in Nigeria needs to be shown to the entire world.

Let the man mistakenly die, or commit suicide if possible. So that the bastards trying to prove a stupid point by his continued unjust incarceration can fully enjoy the resultant show and revel in the ensuing attention.

grandstar:
Omohayek, what's your personal take on the above. Below is my response to him.

I just want you to focus on what he wrote above. You're an economist

Does he really need private sector experienxe? And how do you know he doesn't have one?

Also, did Segun Agangan perform well as the investment minister?

The only thing I remember him for was the introduction of the local car manufacturing policy which rose overall taxes for imported cars to 70%. The then finance minister, Ngozi Iweala condemned the policy as well as Pat Utomi.

He himself realized too late he was wrong. He is an investment banker and that shouldn't his field. The finance minister should have been consulted before introducing it.

The thing about private sector accomplishment is that it is more likely merit based and thus hype-worthy.

Any idiot can be appointed as commissioner for this, minister for that, former governor this or that based purely on crude connections. I can't respect that.

The private sector is where you prove yourself. Aganga rose to become a top dog at Goldman Sachs. Adelabu was a partner at PwC or is it KPMG (not sure now). What has this Edun guy achieved 'meritocratically' in the private world to warrant the hype? That's all I'm asking. His only claim to relevance is being a Tinubu boy all his adult life. That doesn't qualify him to be a technocrat in my estimation.

The question of whether a technocrat then performs well or not is debatable and a matter for another discussion altogether.

grandstar:
Mr We Edun should be the next finance minister.

He is a fit round peg in a round hole. He even has a Masters in Economics from a prestigious university.

I don't know why you people are overrating this guy. What is his private sector experience? Okay he spent eight years as Tinubu's commissioner, and since then has been lurking around Tinubu's corridors.

I have scant regard for these 'mere commissioner' type 'technocrats whose only claim to experience is their years of trudging around political appointments. You can't compare him to the likes of Segun Aganga or even Adelabu who have proved themselves in top rate private endeavour.

EmperorCaesar:
Dumbo
If we are to judge by personalities, style of Governance and belief system. Academic Qualifications, Landmarks and even off-politics achievement, Iswear, Obi and BAT shouldnt be in same sentence

The only and last time time they appeared together was during the election period and BAT won...Elsewhere, they're not Equal

Pitobi is 2centuries behind BAT in intellectual prowess

You're the real dumbo. I can't be civil with anyone that supports this useless BAT (unless the person is supporting him for certain pecuniary gain, which I understand as a hustler).

Someone whose entire life is shrouded in mystery and scandal, I with uncertain name uncertain education, uncertain source of wealth, etc.... Is who you are comparing with a self-made millionaire with traceable wealth trajectory and private sector accomplishment.

I don't blame you. Beneficiaries of corruption are usually too compromised and jaundiced to be objective. But bear in mind that you and your BAT would end in ignominy. I guarantee you that. His fate would be worse than that of Marcus Licinius Crassus of Roman antiquity. Yours would be worse than Anini.

BoldBrainz:
The reason Atiku is hated by the core North is the same reason his governance style would have been quite liked and appreciated by the more cosmopolitan South. Atiku's only pitfall down South is the fact we have refused to look beyond his penchant for colossal thieving.

But you can't compare both men in this regard. Atiku is at best a petty pick pocket while BAT is an armed robber and kidnapper. Atiku's acclaimed thievery is only light indiscretions of a teenager with sticky fingers, while the other Yoruba man's transgressions border more on grand larceny, compulsive kleptocracy and state capture with morbidly pecuniary intent.

Beer is even healthier than this sh1t.

I've since stopped taking this Yoruba Muslim he goat seriously. Rather than direct his rage to Tinubu who removed the subsidy, he would somehow blame Peter Obi for everything awful about this discredited government and only give Tinubu some subtle light taps. This is disgusting and unacceptable.

Stupid man.

Of what use is it if you buy from her but another man ultimately takes her away for the night while you go back home alone to sulk over the expensive fuel you bought?

Oh ye simps, receive sense.

Pay any amount you can afford to insert your nozzLe into her own tank, rather than pay what you can't afford just for her to insert her nozzle into your tank.

Zonefree:
Dino is bad choice for Kogites. He's extravagant with resources.

With Kogi resources in his disposal, he'll just be updating his car garage weekly.

Considering that Kogi State seems to be peculiar in its unyieldingly backward/backwater outlook, it is always going to come down to a choice between relative evils.

In that sense, Dino is certainly a preferable evil to Yahaya Bello and the minion he would like to implant as his successor.

SmartPolician:
If you don't like Peter Obi, you are one of the problems of this country because dude radiates a quality uncommon among Nigerian politicians.

I've brutally cut off a couple of associates, ALL of Yoruba extraction, for this very reason. You couldn't tell me how you hoped to gain from Tinubu presidency (via contract, appointment, high profile job, etc), yet you couldn't obviously see that Obi was the most decent candidate from a neutral and objective point of view. Which means that it boiled down to mindless tribalism. Let our Yoruba leader rule even if he is 'bad market', because it is our turn. Emilokanisation. Such people can't be in my circle. They will poison you for flimsy reasons. So best to toss them far away, for good.

I have Bini, Hausa, Itsekiri, Efik, Tiv, etc associates of various tribal extractions. Not even one of them had/has anything good to say about Tinubu or anything bad to say about Obi, except the ones who had some links to Tinubu's people and hoped to gain financially from his presidency - which is perfectly understandable by me. No non-Yoruba 'nothing to gain or lose' neutral in Nigeria supported Tinubu. None. Only Yorubas.

Jcomtrader:
If you know what even 10m usd is when properly invested

400m with the right investment he is made for life

Don't let me swear for you o. We're talking about 400m American dollars and you're still using qualifiers/conditionals like "if" or "right" investment!!! I dey quick vex o, so no push me.

At this level of instantly available capital, it is impossible for any normal person to go broke. If you check previous winners it is only mentally unstable, poorly adjusted, drug addicted types that might have a problem - for obvious reasons.

Worst case, improbable scenario: just remove $100m of that money to blow on whatever you like. Then simply put the remaining $300m in a bank. A private bank like Goldman Sachs for instance. Even if structured for a mere 10% per annum, that would give you $30m a year to spend without touching the principal. $30m/annum income is enough to maintain a wealthy and lavish lifestyle for a whole year, even for most big celebrities. That's $2.5m a month from interests alone, For Nigerian context, that's N2b a month. Mike Adenuga sef or Jim Ovia dem lifestyle expenses can't exceed this na, Haba.

So.... This is about the most simple/foolish 'investment' I can think of, but even that guarantees you will be rich until you die. Heck, even 400m cash in a regular savings account with 4% annual interest can't be depleted by most 'normal people in a lifetime.

An unstable and disruptive character like Wike isn't anyone's best bet.

Sometimes stereotypes perpetuate themselves. Is this the best guy they could find to be governor? Really?

ChidiKalu:
Lmao. Stay on the discussion. You said some new money kids on the block would put the Ibrus to shame when it comes to cash. You said the Ibrus not Obaro (Obaro is not amongst Olorogun's 1st five sons sef, na Tata for Ibru Family). Obaro is just one Ibru and he's not in charge of the Ibru family bussiness empire.

So I would want you to mention 2-3 new money kids that would put the Ibrus to shame.

Haba. By the Ibrus I mean their kids na. How many first generation Ibrus are still alive? Is it Michael, Felix, or... Emm (what's his name) the one who owned Guardian and Sheraton?

So really. Who are the current "Ibrus"? Is it Oskar? Oboden? Obaro? Bet mind the smaller kiddos. They can't compete with the contemporary kids on the block.. Facts.

ChidiKalu:
I said (I think) the family collectively is wealthier than Dangote. We are talking assets here cos the Dangote Forbes networth is about assets.

"Alot" of new kids on the block would put the Ibrus to shame? Lmao. Please casually name like three of such new kids on the block.

]PS: Obaro is not in hiding. Motherfucker is in Dubai living his best (touring the world). He went low-key after the oceanic crisis.[

Abeg make I laugh. Even some top level yahoo boys would dust his azz in that same Dubai.

Generally I don't need to mention some heavy names but trust me, 'ordinary' Jowi, Captain Okunbor's heir, and many more will run Obaro out of own.
