He ran mad but still had presence of mind enough to remove the safety of the gun, cock, aim and fire?

And how did the situation end? It is sad that Nigeria has a whole has no emergency response number to call to tackle issues like this.

I gave up on Nigeria again yesterday. The taxi I took in Abuja yesterday passed under Apo bridge. That very busy area where cars stop to take passengers going to Mararaba and Nyanya.

Just off the road to the left, lay the body of an elderly man who had been hit by a hit and run driver. I gathered that the man had been lying like that for hours. You could see he was trying to move his head at least. His body was immobile. Probably a spinal injury. He was bleeding. He was unconscious but I really couldn't tell.

The most that was done for him was that they placed a few leaves close to him as a warning to vehicles approaching but you could see from how close he was lying to the road, it was only inevitable that another vehicle was going to drive over him. No one was bothered. People were just going around their business. No one called for help on his behalf.

Beside me, was an officer of the Nigerian army and in front was a policeman. I asked the soldier was there not anything that he could do? Call for help for the man? The police in front responded that what's the point? No hospital was going to accept him anyway. The soldier then told the driver to drive off after glaring at me.

I was silent through out the trip. My spirit shaken. That man lying there was a father, a husband.. People somewhere were waiting for his return. But there he lay. Dying the death of a dog. His family will think he was delayed by work or traffic not knowing that their father layed by the road side bleeding out and everyone acted indifferent.

It then dawned on me. Nigeria lost its humanity long ago. That's the only way to understand how the country got to where it is.

Your statement is childish and extremely in poor taste.
You want Nigerians to help an accident victim in Nigeria and get arrested for hit and run?
Aren't you in this country?
Don't you know how it goes?
You think people don't want to help but the system has taught Nigerians to do so is extremely dangerous.
Is it not in this country, gunshot victims are not treated until a police report is provided, despite that , some hospitals don't treat and even if they treat, they request for money ..is it the good Samaritan that would fork out thousands of naira for treatment?
Listen, I really don't want to insult your lineage this afternoon..better modify that stupid statement you made.

In 2022, two women accused Foreman of sexually abusing them when they were minors in the 1970s, according to lawsuits filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Foreman denied the allegations, and in March 2024 filed a court declaration requesting that one of the lawsuits was tossed out. CNN has previously reached out to representatives for Foreman for comment on allegations of sexual abuse and assault.


I was expecting this like clockwork .
There's no great black athlete they won't try this shit with..
Once you're a successful black person and don't toe the line like a good nigga
In comes the rape allegations..

jmoore:
So the Disco could not switch off the transformer before he started working?

Cos it was an illegal operation.
Which NEPA staff do you see working past 7pm.?
Once it's dark .they stop working..
If it's urgent . you'll see them but the feeder would be switched off and padlocked just Incase.
This was an illegal solo run..

Africa Where's your pride

There's none..
Africa pride died in the early 90s with the decline of Nigeria.
Nigeria has always been positioned by destiny to be Africa's bedrock, the bastion of regional and continental stability..
Like a wise man once said..
'if Nigeria goes
Africa goes"
The roles we played in the regional stability back in the 90s had a calming effect on ECOWAS ( go ask Liberia and Sierra Leone). They have stories to tell about ECOMOG. Even when France was egging on her French Colonies to act against our interest..we were always the "big brother" in West Africa.
The 60s saw us in this same Congo leading UN peacekeepers, they feared the Nigerian soldiers like kilode. The white mercenaries employed had a healthy fear of Nigerians so much that few opted to fight for Biafra during the Civil War.
Somalia in 1993 won't forget the Nigerian soldiers that fought the militants to a standstill whilst the Americans turn tail and ran away..
Ask the Somali, they hate,.loathe and fear Nigerians till date.
This same Nigeria was in Sudan too.
Fighting the janjaweid rebels, destroying most of em before being recalled back to limit the destruction meted out to them.
In 1983, Chadians tried their brand of madness on Nigeria, the NA invaded that country and almost reached their capital before Buhari ordered their retreat..the swiftness and crushing destruction meted out to Chad still rings bells in the Sahel states. No one has ever dared Nigeria again militarily.
Congo can do better by inviting Nigeria to provide security for their country, we have the men, the weapons and I'm suspecting the NA needs a good warmup exercise. It won't take 2 weeks to decimate M23 and roll into Rwanda.
Congo doesn't need to sell its people to slavery cos that's what it means to invite the US into your country..that country will never know peace until they leave. Ukraine will soon find out the hard way..
I trust Nigeria..
We will act the big brother and liberate Congo from these M23 rebels and not collect a kobo from them..
The West knows our potential as a comtinential leader and fear a strong Nigeria in Africa.

Chilipepper:
If you know when this Generator
Was sold for 10k, Signify!!

Back in 2006, this gen was 6k.
Used to buy a new unit every 5 months till I had them littered all over..
Petrol was 50 naira/L back then.

Finquas:
Sanwa olu cant say this cause Lagos is former federal capital and Nigeria's commercial /Business Headquarters

This is the ignorance we're talking about .
Lagos city was the Federal Capital of Nigeria NOT Lagos. Ikeja is the capital of Lagos State .
So don't get it twisted
So because Lagos city was the former capital of Nigeria, Lagos State should now employ from every tribe in Nigeria?
Calabar was once a Federal Capital..is Cross River hiring from all tribes?
Enugu was once the capital of Eastern Region, how many non - Enugu Nigerians even non Enugu igbos are in it's Civil Service?
Y'all talk just for talking sake

Tjra:
😂





It's only South western civil service that employs people of other tribes.

This last 2 years has taught us a lesson.

We don wise up now

That has changed since 2023.
Fewer and fewer non Yoruba are being employed into the Service and the rest will have their appointments terminated in due course.
No more employment for Non Yoruba in Lagos State.

Houseofglam7:
I doubt those astronauts will be able to walk when they get to earth. The muscle wasting would’ve been irreversible. But we’ll see. Hoping for the best 🤞

They exercise a lot while up there to retain muscle mass and carry out space walk missions outside.
They'll be fine..

DaddyGoo:
The obvious combination of eagle and crossed sword equals Major General, for your information.

Besides, even by N/ number, Sani (N/419) is by far senior to Diya (N/671) .

Also, when has a Brigade Commander ever been superior to a General Officer Commanding?

Finally, it is common knowledge Sani never skipped a rank from 2nd Lt to General, so how come Diya was willingly his vice if Sani was ever his junior?

Stop being intentionally mischievous abeg!

He knows where he's going..
Check in tongue reference to Ogundipe and Gowon.
When I say Eboe brains are fried..trust me on that

Obviouslyblunt:
9mobile is still working?

Sporadically.. somewhere in Lagos Mainland LGA.
Seriously it's a useless network..
Signal disappears at will.
You can buy 4gb data and only get to use it for a few days before it completely zaps away .
It's a terrible network with worse internet connectivity..

Cocolatti:
Abacha is senior to Diya in the Military.

We all know what he's trying to pitch.
A shame he didn't do his research well.
Typical eboe dead brain.
Just because Diya was a bit more prominent in the picture automatically means he's more senior to Abacha? Is that how their brains work?

We know what to do..
It's tribalism that's holding us..
When one politician/thief is caught..
His people will come out with placards,
Screaming witch hunt..
Everyone is protecting their own sons and daughters in government when they steal and loot
The day we can all condemn the actions of politicians regardless of tribal affinity, this country will heal.
There's no country that doesn't have corrupt govt officials and politicians, but Nigeria seems to celebrate theirs, giving them red carpet welcomes, chieftancy titles and political appointments..
I'm not surprised we elect garage touts as Speakers, agbero as Union Leaders, drug convicts as Governors and President, psychotics as Ministers.
Until we follow the Chinese way (the best way)
Once you steal govt money or you enrich yourself anyhow, a bullet to the head.
Or we re-introduce the "Bar Beach Show" of years past,
That would cure the Nigerian madness quickly

Siberia01:
Since Telecommunication networks in Nigeria increased their data tariffs, I have not been able to enjoy the value of my money 5GB of data can't even last a whole day surfing X, Facebook and WhatsApp
I have also noticed they secretly steal or deduct data from their customers, this is so painful coupled with the hardship we go through just to subscribe our phones, how will remote workers cope or people who try to earn online?

I've noticed it as well.
4GB data on 9mobile didn't last two days max, no heavy surfing or nothing..
What is going on?
There's no sector growing in this country

Zico5:
Our governors down south will rather repackaged and sell to the masses or hoard them till they are spoilt.

Their usual tack is to rebrand and sell it to Civil Servanrs via Cooperative Societies..
That's their conduit..

Reduced price to N815 yet fuel is still sold for 860 in MRS and over 950 in Mobil and Total.
What's going on?
Transport fares haven't dropped at all.
So what's the benefit?

ibechris:
Let us tell ourselves the truth.

The entire EU nation can defeat Russia without the US in one week.

Russia is not as formidable as we earlier thought.

Sometimes u don't know the kind of power u have until u are faced with using and abiding by your power alone.

You're still sucking your mother's tits.
It was the US that stopped Russia from taking over the whole Europe shortly after WW2.
Russia that the US had to beg alongside UK not to go beyond East Germany and Eastern Europe? Do you know how big the defunct USSR was? Go check old maps before 1991.
You think Russia is EU mate?
I know most of you talk for talking sake.
Out of 27 NATO members .which one get the balls to face Russia?
The biggest 3 of em Germany, France and Italy can't do Jack to Russia.. the rest are just minions.
Shey it's UK that has turned to US boiboi that would face Russia?
Make we dey think straight atimes

ogododo:
With 80% Igbo contributed development.

Sometimes.. the way individual Eboes think and talk..it gives the impression the whole tribe is moronic.
I really fear for the younger ibo generation, their fathers and grandfathers really messed things up for them .

koondog:
There are many videos like this showing Nigerian troops murdering civilians. Same way Adekunle went to Ibibioland, dragging hundreds of family and killing them.

After committing this evil they tell affonjja media to run propaganda that they Biafrran troops were killing their own people. They tried to spin the same with Ibibio massacre by Adekunle, Ibibio people insisted these were done by a Yorubaa officer in broad daylight.

There are videos of Bafrans murdering Bini people during their invasion of the MidWest.
How about that?

Tranquillity360:
As for the Video,all this will be avenged at the right time.

You try any bullshit,
10x of this will be meted out to your people.
Better be wise else the job started in 1967 will be completed.

AMI3 post=134501284:
People get mind oo to even cut the power cable.

No wander we have not been getting light in our area

Cut 330kv wire?
Do you know what 330kv means?
Nothing alive except for some plants can live anywhere near that zone..
Something that would be crackling with static electricity.
The lines snapped cos of old age.
Most of the transmission lines haven't been replaced since the 70s. They were installed during early to mid 70s when the Grid experienced a boom and rapid expansion, since then, it's the same towers, cables and step down transformers we've been using.
TCN is the most useless of the bunch. They carry out no routine maintenance or replacement or old parts.. most of their equipment are decades old when demand for power was probably less than 2GW back in the day. Those wires ought to have been replaced years ago.
I foresee more 330kv lines snapping in due course. Most have reached their expiry period (50years).
Hope they don't start blaming terrorists and vandals for the snapping.

stephenponti:
let them collect what gov give them, otherwise they will loose both end.

Spoken like a true deadbeat.
You obviously don't own any land or property thus you can't even begin to comprehend what the residents are going through.

GeneralPula:
Picking up a fight with your closest neighbor & ally is not a good move..

The calamity in White House no dey reason well..

Tell that to the clown in Ukraine.. Zelensky

At this juncture, I'll believe the locals over Govt or Police statements over this matter.
Obviously an attack happened and several lives were lost. The government of the day is trying so hard to cover up this genocide happening in Ondo State.

People just talk in support whenever a woman rants about men
There's always three sides to a story.
Her story
His story
And the Truth.
You never hear his side, already started condemning cos woman talk am?
From her story, it's obvious the divorce included her taking responsibility of the child till 18 years.
Isn't that what she wanted?
Now the going isn't as smooth especially in this economy, you now want him to take over responsibility not stated in the divorce.
Because he refused to be bullied , you decide to carry mater come Social Media knowing sheepies will quickly come to her defense as idiots most of them are .
Reno..don't accept any responsibility if you don't want to. Let her hear the burden.
Women love eating their cakes and having it simultaneously.

Men .I fear that machete.
It was modified specifically for butchering humans .
Fear Calabar people, they're primitive o.
Their level of reasoning is barely above lower animals.
Short tempered and liable to explode to frenzy and violence...
Their fav weapon of choice is the machete.

godofuck231:
No sympathy for him hes a weakling, self defence isn't illegal

Explain that to Western Police.
Their society is wired and biased against men when it comes to stuff like this. Have you been living under a rock?.
When women are tired of the marriage/relationship, they go this route , pick up a quarrel, expand it, taunt the man, physically attack him so as to get a response, he does, she claims assault, he gets thrown out arrested and charged. He loses his hoise,, job, pays alimony and child support etc, while the woman is free to do whatever she likes.
That's their system over there so never say the man is weak he knows what he's doing.

coded01:
Not just them but everyone else must rise and resist these invaders in our land

The moment they arm themselves to repel the terrorists, Nigerian military will swoop in to offer protection to the murderers.
We've seen it in action time and time again ..in Benue and South Kaduna
People are tired but can't defend themselves..
It's bad enough for fulani terrorists to kill you..
But your own country's soldiers to murder you in your own land?
That'd the conundrum they face in Benue .

Daddyk87:
Hard luck.
It could happened to anyone.
Hope he turns in for investigation.
Police should please be fair on him.

That's the thing.
Death can come to anyone , anywhere..even in the most inconvenient of places..
It's a shame that this part of the world, when such happens, the mindset immediately goes to murder and ritual. Even the Police that's meant to be neutral in such matters would he the first to mention murder already tainting whichever investigation ( if any) would be carried out . GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. the NPF is a primary cause of that..

rinzaugustine:
Sell to your fellow yorubas let them buy . Focus of Igbos now is Igboland. Almost every village in Igboland is like a massive construction site now because Igbos are known for doings and the title of the most successful black race No be by mouth but by dint of hardwork. Igbo akwenu!!!!

This is false and you know it .
Your hamlets are so decrepit..so primitive.
One often wondered the nature of ibo evolution.
It was well documented clothes weren't introduced to you people until the eve of Independence. Most of you were butt naked and lived in thatced huts not until 1950s.
Thank God for Christian missionaries.
Y'all were so illiterate, it took a Yoruba man translate the Bible for you to read and worship
Evolution started with you people trooping to the SW and like Mecca, you keep coming ansf coming ... like shameless economic migrants.
OSU caste system? Alive and well.
Ritual head hunting? Popular past time.
Fratricide over land and food? Sure thing.
Igbos need to re-orientate yourselves.
Some of y'all are okay, decent hardworking individuals, but the most of you are just neanderthals.

First thing..
Anyone that has served 1/2 or 3/4 of their sentences..free them except capital crimes like murder, rape, armed robbery, kidnapping etc.
Anyone serving 2 years or less.
Put them on Community service..
Attach them to Agricultural farms, Direct labour etc.. let them work their sentences.
Awaiting trial..don't add them to the Prison population..
By doing this you'll decongest 50% of the prison population

simpleseyi:
He was a big boy before his father became President, but all these nonsense he is doing is not needed.

He was a complete nonentity before his "father" became President.
All this hobnobbing cos of 2027 election.
Whatever political future he might desire will be bankrolled by his father's stolen wealth and will end in ignominy. He should better look for political office in Osun State.

[quote author=Yankee101 post=134414617]You should be able to fly to your country with an expired passport. But call your airline first to grant you that exception first[/quote]

There's not need to call anyone to explain.
He's at liberty to enter Nigeria with an expired Passport.. 💯
He however would have to renew the Passport with NIN to leave .
It's a shame that our Consulates abroad keep bringing shame to the country..I've been hearing about the shoddy way they operate for years..
Dunno what the ministry of foreign affairs is doing about it
