A few random thoughts on the matter...

1. This guy seems to have mental issues or psychological disturbance of some sort. He has been accused of psychotic behaviour numerous times, for many years now. Just look at this 11 year old Nairaland thread below for example
https://www.nairaland.com/125522/what-wrong-ernest-asuzu

2. Those of you talking about investments and such are naive, sorry to say. To think that most of you are salary earning employees who know NOTHING about making a livelihood from your own private ventures. Even if Dangote 'dashes' you a N100m bounty, you could still squander it on wrong/unprofitable investments. Only career entrepreneurs are likely to excel with this. It's difficult in Nigeria. Don't get it twisted.

3. Besides, even if you invest well and avoid extravagance, life and its vicissitudes would humble you and probably disgrace you if the storm comes calling. It's not in your hands. You can only hold on to the grace of God.

4. Finally, life is overrated. Especially a life without pleasure and happiness. This is probably a controversial view, but I am adamant about it. Damn if life is hell bent on disgracing you, for the whole world to 'see you finish', then it is futile to hang on as if life is an end in itself. Grow some balls and ball out on your own terms. Take an overdose of a deadly medication, swallow sniper, slip and break ya damn head in your bathroom or something. Better to exit this meaningless merry go round with your dignity intact, than to hang in there and spend the rest of your miserable days in abject indignity. Death before dishonor is the code. Man ain't gat no time to be ridiculed by nonsense. Better people have died and continue to die daily. What are you hanging on to life for? You're not going to make it out alive anyway.

If it was a poor guy from a poor family that she killed like that, the case would have been thrown out since. But we're talking about the son of a former PDP chairman who is also a big fish in the North. So for the matter na sorry be her name.

who will take care of there Child? the judgement is too harsh they should reversed it, at least prison will be better than death sentence

Let the grandparents take care of the child. She killed a human being, so she deserves to be killed too.

GogobiriLalas:
The commandments of the Biblical God are from a vastly superior point of view and even this God understands that humans are not created equal though kindness must be encouraged - Deut. 15 v. 11.

An ideal Government is one that maintains equality of opportunity, it is beyond any form of Government to guarantee equality of outcomes.

Charity and altruism must be at the individual's whim. Timidity should never be a national character. Nothing stops you from going out there and competing with these people...are they better than you?

Read my post again, you will find that the answer to this question is rooted in my earlier comment. Abilities are not the same. No matter how hard you try, you will not achieve anything near what some people can easily achieve in certain fields.

GogobiriLalas:
Democratic socialism is not an ideal system of Governance; might be functional during periods of wealth such as the Scandinavians are currently experiencing but it ultimately caves in on itself because it is a Ponzi scheme.

Think about it, you pay an inordinate amount of tax used to sustain less productive members of your society, ultimately the productive ones lose all motivation to produce; for example in Denmark, you're taxed up to 60% once your household income exceeds 80k, the effect is that people earn up to 70k then stop and let the govt fill in their excess requirement. This is why you no longer see big firms emerging from the Scandinavians.
Apart from Norway's sovereign wealth funds, that country's economy will crash soon enough once North Sea Oil drys up and the people will return to drying cod fish/panla, same thing with Sweden et.al.
Capitalism means competition, the job of Governementis to provide a level playing field, you need to go out and get yours while using thelaw as a weapon...many Nigerians don't even have lawyers, they don't know how easy it is to use the law to make money.

This is neoliberalism in its most brutal form. Your arguments are plausible but life isn't always in black and white.

Remember that human ability isn't equally distributed. And "ability" in this sense includes mental faculties... Motivation, 'gifts', talents, etc. Not everyone is 'blessed' equally.

Yes you can say that whosoever doesn't want to hustle should go to hell, but the problem is that that would be referring to the majority. In every capitalist society, the majority actually hustle more than the minority, but their hustle NEVER translates to a decent quality of life. This has been the case since even before the Industrial Revolution till date.

You MUST cater to the poor and discontented majority, whether you like it or not, otherwise the result would be chaos. That's why, in the Western world, you can never compare the overall standard of living and quality of life of capitalist behemoths to their welfarist counterparts.

Oga learn to find your level.

Broke ass fake non-straight like you marry high class olosho, come later dey form philosopher. You no wise.

Shove your mumu 'advice' where your fellow 'people' stick their things into.

omohayek:
Just great, another contractual dispute to follow on the heels of the outrageously inflated MTN fine, the byzantine FX rate scheme, the arbitrary impositions of import controls, and the refusal to make even the slightest move in the direction of privatizing or deregulating anything whatsoever. It’s as if the Buhari government feels even the current depressed levels of FDI are still too high for its comfort, and is therefore casting about for new ways to drive it towards the goal of zero! Of course, there will be no shortage of poorly educated, blind partisans who will show up to cheer on this new inanity ...

The problem is that this Buhari government is populated by small minded hawks with a parochial mindset out to only achieve very self-centred short term objectives for themselves. We have never had this kind of gruesome government. And the truth is that if the Supreme Court doesn't do the needful soonest, Nigeria would bleed to death within the next four years.

Nonsense. These corrupt fools are only there to exchange banters. At the end, nothing meaningful would be achieved.

Stamping out the menace of Fulani Herdsmen kidnappers from the South isn't rocket science. If these useless governors and other Southern stakeholders are ready and have the POLITICAL WILL to crush these despicable Fulani animals, they know exactly what to do.

Jarus:


What's unfair here?

MRS does not operate an oil bloc.

It is a downstream company that sells refined petroleum products which are mostly imported.

Plus he bought the company from Chevron/Texaco, an American company.

What's your "collective oil" here?

How's that your problem?

The bitterly poor generally blame the ostentatious rich for their woes. It is a global phenomenon. They have a mind-boggling 'our money' sense of entitlement to the riches of the rich.

You can't blame them. Poverty is a corrosive condition.

Jmk9292:
Whatever eases the stress of this life is a welcomed one....

That is the hedonistic spirit. Stress and problem and wahala is the ultimate evil. Pleasure is the ultimate good. Pleasure is the ONLY thing that makes life worth living. So whatever takes away stress and gives pleasure.... that thing is my religion.

Sayyu is the real deal. Super hedonistic motherfucker. My mentor in the hedonism lifestyle.

All these media statements change nothing. Fulani Herdsmen don't read newspapers. They are not on Nairaland. They don't visit Linda Ikeji. They are in the bushes and isolated highways - from Ondo to Oyo to Benin to Enugu - wreaking havoc and causing unprecedented devastation for Southern people.

These Southern groups should stop issuing meaningless press releases and start taking concrete, 'self help' action.

The southerners are bloody cowards. I can't imagine an Igbo or Yoruba or Bini gang kidnapping and robbing freely in Katsina State or Sokoto State. How? Yet we fools allow these dirty Fulani bastards to encircle us and colonise our bushes, and unleash horror on us, in our own backyard. Yet these cowards (including so-called Igbo Congress and the OPC) are busy issuing useless media statements.

Well, the current structure of the Nigerian socio-economic situation leaves little room for legitimate self actualisation. Forget that some of us managed to do it the hard way, unaided, using our own devices. Most cannot and would not discover the way to earn a legitimate living that is enough to afford them a decent standard of living... Hence the reason why yahoo yahoo is the most pragmatic option for many.

By the time you successfully dissuade most young guys from doing yahoo, some would end up like this (frustration and suicide), while the vast majority would channel their frustration towards other deadlier forms of criminality (kidnapping and armed robbery). Only a tiny percentile would revert to the default poverty level that Buhari's government insists that they were destined to belong - roadside tailor, 'forkanizer', bus conductor, and other menial vocations.

SmartMen:
god bless you... You know many Nigerians are not informed. See how they are calling him billionaire billionaire.

That is how they see people using private jets and think it cost millions to ride in one. I know a lady who was advertising one for 200k-300k for private jet charter...

You people like talking rubbish. 200k for private jet charter? How much aviation fuel will be used for the flight alone (not to mention crew, fees, and associated fixed costs). Abi you want them to fly you at a loss because you're who?

You know a lady? Why not charter it and show us the receipt? Broke asses who know nothing.

It wasn't staged. I was stuck in that gridlock yesterday as well. Countless of persons saw it happen live. We spent more than 4hrs there


I know the billinaire that was airlifted but I won't mention his name. I saw him In close range from the Gig vehicle I was in

What would you gain or lose by not mentioning his name?

Have you tried this before

We're in trouble in this country but we don't realise it yet.

Southern youths are using their brain and ingenuity to do yahoo... Mostly targeted at foreign victims. But Fulani youths are daily (in their thousands) being recruited into kidnapping, because they don't have brains. No education, no exposure, no empathy, nothing. Misfits and brutes of the most primitive kind. Even if they have 100 billion, they don't know what how to enjoy it in a cosmopolitan way, other than buying more cows, drinking more kunu and marrying more wives, and repeating their kidnapping and killing routines in the Bush. No perspective, no context, no 'enough', no worldly sense, nothing. Just brutishness without need or justification. What kind of life is this? They don't know clubs or happening joints to enjoy a sociable life, or how to floss in Dubai, or even how to set up legit businesses and blend in to normal society. They are useless to themselves and to society. Yet they want money. It is ridiculous and tragic. These beasts are less than animals. And they have seen that kidnapping is the most profitable activity ever so they're just starting sef. We're in trouble if we (the entire South) don't act NOW.

Yet our Fulani led government is concentrating scarce resources on chasing after yahoo boys who aren't our problem. They are turning a blind eye to the problem of Fulani kidnappers, which is growing at an exponential level. Soon, this will be 1 million times deadlier and more prevalent than Boko Haram, across the country.

We have to mount pressure on this despicable government to re-focus its priorities. Otherwise, Nigeria would soon become the most insecure and dangerous country in the world in the next 2-4 years.

There's no such thing as the (single) greatest philosopher of all time. All of those names you mentioned, including some you left out, are right up there as among the greatest.

Imagine! Nigeria's criminal justice system is a big joke. Someone committed an act as grievous as currency counterfeiting, coupled with assault, and yet he was granted bail for the ridiculous sum of N200, 000? To put it in context, currency counterfeiting is the ultimate economic and financial crime, bordering on National Security in fact.

And yet if it has to do with some so-called yahoo yahoo allegations without evidence and without complainants, the useless courts and daft judges would grant bail in multiple millions... Just to fleece the accused. We need serious help in this country.

What does "financial commitment" mean according to Mr Pastor? He should have explained better..

But the fact is that this over monetisation of everything about men's suitability puts women at a disadvantage. For every financially stable guy, and let's say for every ONE guy that makes plus or minus a modest N5m annually, there are thousands of women jostling for his attention because he meets their unreasonable criteria.

Okay, so you're a high class babe. A graduate of Unilag and you work in one decent firm, and you're reasonably exposed. So you think you deserve a guy with a minimum of the above-mentioned standard. But the problem is that even the low class girl from Ajangbadi with incomplete WAEC, who is still struggling to write JAMB or doing secretarial work in a one man company somewhere, is also your competitor, looking for the same guy you're looking for. Her only 'qualification' is her fine face, or nice shape, or bustiness, or yanshiness, or whatever else that adds up to the feminine appeal that is the major thing that Nigerian women have to offer Nigerian men! Your degrees and job experience matters little to most men who meet your lofty criteria. Forget what they say. That's the truth. At the end, they just want to have a sexy thing with a good character beside them,. Certificate gbakwa okwu.

So with this wide net of 10,000 girls (poor or rich, graduate or uneducated) to one 'suitable' guy, how will this disequilibrium resolve itself?

Entitled women go suffer well well for this Nigeria. It is happening already. I know exactly what I'm talking about.

I prefer the North to get it than South West, that's for sure.

zoghys:



Thanks for your advice, but i think you need it more. I have reasonably made a good chuck, and thanks to my education, zeal and most importantly God. I had an option of yahoo in my formative years, but i choose to go legit. I wouldn't have reply back, but i think you need to be well schooled in the act of legality, and honest living. If you don't have access to his confessional statement, then i suggest you seal your lip, rather than questioning the obvious. No court grants millions of naira in bail to an innocent person, and just because he's working free today doesn't exonerate your protege. I have hustled my legitimately, and am still doing that, so i suggest you get a life and do the same.

You sound retarded. No court does what?

Which confessional statement? So he made a confessional statement that he is a yahoo boy and yet he pleaded NOT guilty? Ol boy you need to eat a balanced diet quickly, as your brain seems deficient of nutrients. If he confessed to be guilty, will the court grant him bail or will the court not sentence him immediately?

All these ignorant fools running loose in this forum need to be reined in.

He is a thief because he stole the only piece of meat in your mother's watery soup?

BiafranBushBoy:
Who doesn't love him?

I love how this guy is shaming the Financial Crime Commissions.

He is showing them and other myopic Nigerians who swallow every propaganda hook line and sinker that they don't know shit.

Without evidence of a crime, you arrested someone because he sang "Am I a yahoo boy" in a bid to ruin his career.

After his arrest and media trial, that was when the useless commission went to Mastercard and Visa to request for Transaction details.

They only ended up promoting the dude and giving him new converts

Marlians!

Don't mind the fools at the EFCC and the envious frustrated bastards who feasted on this guy's predicament in the name of supporting the 'fight' against yahoo yahoo.

Sad country. Without a shred of evidence, without complainants, you swoop on someone, arrest him, and then start fishing for 'evidence'! Talk about putting the cart before the horse. How can a government law enforcement agency operate like a ragtag vigilante group? Too much injustice and bullshit in this country.

Nigeria is now officially a police state. You arrest and parade people based on unsubstantiated suspicion, and then you thereafter investigate them "to ascertain their level of involvement in the alleged act"!

One has to be very concerned about how lawless and incompetent the government and its institutions has become under Buhari's watch.
