oga ! The guy made a post and say he is sorry if he have hurt your family in any way! By the way it seems he is the soft target for you people to flex your muscle and project your activism posture !
The bobrisky that made the audio call you guys seems to be less focus on him!
Vdm might be crude and sometimes unrefined in his approach , but a lot of Nigerians are with him and he is waking up the consciousness of the masses and sticking his neck way deep into the mess in the system.
More than your father has ever done.
The reason you guys didn’t press charges is because you know what this young man stand for and there are no skeletons in his closet yet!!!

Say na food security🤓! Well done oo

Trump is a racist who doesn't even pretend about it,the kind of crazy sentiment that gave us tpain is the same mentality trump's Nigerian supporters have, good thing is u mofos can't vote!
We dey find who go increase green card allocation make water find in level, people wey don do 50 abortion dey hear dey form anti abortion anti LGBT abeggi

some of you are so dumb that you believe anything you are told… this guy have supported the likes of Mike Tyson. When Michael Jackson was wrongly accused he was visibly defending him while Kamala was one of those spareheading the attack on Michael Jackson. Donald trump donated millions of dollars to support Jesse Jackson’s presidential election bid , that was way before Obama!
He Fred many black men jailed for little crimes during his tenure and supported the funding of many schools in African communities! Sha make una d mumu una self

joachimnkenchor:
Only Africa is civilised
We just have bad leaders

civilize in what aspect! Oh our fights are not on an international scale? Or perhaps there is no wars going on in Africa?

Please stop lying to yourself, unless you have changed the definition of what civilization means! We are the least progressive continent since the independent era of the 50 and 60: that swept many nations under colonialism.
It doesn’t mean there is no hope, but first and foremost, to deal with an issue you need to be honest to yourself and identify the problem.
Leadership must give direction I accept that, but we are the least civilized continent , except you have not traveled and read global history to understand the time and era we are as a people against the world development in all aspect of the word development and progress

ClearFlair:
Governance is not hard unless you are totally
incompetent

governance is no tea party bro!! It is worse in Nigeria even so because every Tom dick and harry wants to be in a leadership position. And there are no strong institutions to checkmate them. And no policy direction to guide the useless ones

CoronaVirusPro:
[His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has always believed that power generation was the root cause of Nigeria’s setbacks, and why he has been heavily investing in power generation and transmission.

I remember vividly in 2019 when I sat with Asiwaju in the ball room and Otunba asked Asiwaju what goal he would be determined to accomplish as a president, it was a mood when Asiwaju turned to me and said, “Kehinde, I will give them electricity, I know how much my people can achieve with it at exponential levels”

Asiwaju stood up and started walking towards the staircase . Otunba whispered to me, “that’s a man who knows the root-cause”

una never tire to d campaign! Stories upon stories and quotes upon quotes!

Ishhhh!!!!

Was it a free gift when fayemi abandoned them?. It is not his administration that is owing them. Appreciate good deeds

you are right! Gratuity is indeed a gift of appreciation for years of service . Thanks 🙏

Like it’s a free and a gift

AkhereOkaka:
This was what I was discussing with a friend on Wednesday in a bar in Milan Italy. The level of madness exhibited by these con politicians is mind boggling. The only solution now is military 🪖 intervention. Though the military has been infiltrated but I believe we need it at this point. Most of the infrastructures we are enjoying today was done during the military era. Ciao


We rise by lifting others

my brother we are under a full state capture and disdain for the feelings of common Nigerians!
There are rarely any nation where coup has been carried out that the politicians don’t feel there have the military in their armpits .
A military coup might not be the prayer of anyone but the way this guys are going there are encouraging it

anonimi:
How much of your own money, time and other resources do you contribute to the political and governance processes for it to be the way you want it to be The processes at your local, state and federal levels!

If you have balls, why don't you lead the army to do your takeover?
Was it not undisciplined soldiers like Nzeogwu, who opened the door for other coupists and military dictators like Buhari and Obasanjo to ruin our country? How does Pakistan and its military dictatorship history compare with India, its more complex neighbour who did not have military ruiners in its history? Did we not recycle Obasanjo and Buhari for 16 years out of the 24 years of our return to democracy, for what gain?

It takes a hopeless, helpless and mentally lazy urchin to wish that his right to be a part of the governance process be taken away by the military. Are you such a person

I am 100 percent sure u are more hopeless, helpless and lazy in all aspects of life than me.
If you don’t understand what factors leads to military take over .
Talking about my contribution to my locality,, mumu I should be the one using my personal money to pave road and provide electricity!
Una done allow mumu thinking settle down in your minds and brain as the norm.
My contribution is being a good citizen and paying my taxes

hedonido:
As bad as a military takeover would be, these kinds of irritating bastards make it a comparatively much more palatable alternative.

I can't stand all of this arrogant madness by so many of these clowns, all in the name of 'politics'. It is suffocating the very air I breathe and driving me nuts.

without strong institutions and flagrant disregard for rule of law military take over is inevitable, is not matter of if, but when! This guys are over doing and seems to lack a direction of driving this country . Plus the almighty suffering.
I won’t say the worse democratic rule is better than the best military dictatorship. Because that is just a cute line to put the people in place , more of a psyop!

Hehehehe!
Very funny human being! In this country people are balling! Even in Afghanistan, Somalia the worst places on earth people are balling! What the people want is the ability to come from nothing and know no one and climb the ladder base on merit and not connection.

The people deserve a quality life!
When the people complain of lack of infrastructure… there need potable water.
Do you even believe you deserve to have pipeborn water right to the doorstep of your house and you pay and connect? And don’t need you and your family to walk hundreds of miles with bucket to get water and children’s having to return from school and then instead of resting and doing their home work , will have to walk a mile to get water?
Do you believe it is not your duty to buy electric pools and contribute buy transformers as communities. Go to your public universities, the hostels are full beyond their intended capacity. Same with lecture halls!

What about public health systems .
Some of una mumu too much! Because a few are balling , doesn’t mean millions of people dont lack the basic necessities of life.
Make una d get conscience

MadPolitician:
Do our people really put in efforts to know how cities are built?
Any pictures taken from the air, leaves you with a lot of discomfort.
Governors will just wake up and say "i need a ring road"! Ring road around scattered and squalid neighbourhoods!

What happens to having city planners sit down and plan a city like the architects plan a building? I mean , what is wrong with having well laid out streets in some greeny neighbourhoods, where the places for apartment blocs are defined, green areas are mapped out and playgrounds for children are built, including school areas?

Having a ring road is good, but a ring road around squalor, is insane.

you are right! Even in some states that are expanding their development zones with new layouts , the planning is so mediocre and pitiful,

Thisis2raw:
Wike na your mate for politics?

any governor that respect this kangaroo court judgments is a fool! Two can play the game of madness. Who yeye court go blackmail! Wike appeal court ? Make una d play

The reason why you hear the likes of Wike shouting respect court order is because there have the top judiciary all over their pockets , and have planted their families(like wikes wife as appeal court justice) same with their sons, daughters and associates .

It was on live tv on the floor of the senate that a Serving senator confessed of influencing his wife who is a Supreme Court justice of swaying justice in the favor of his friends.

It is difficult to say , but I am sorry for any intending or serving politician to play politics the right way in Nigeria and succeed . Two wrongs there say can not make a right! But… in the case of Nigeria , you have to match their madness with madness …

This mad people won’t go easy and despite the fact I don’t respect everything Kenneth okwonkwo says all the time, we will somehow agree that true students of Nigerias history will agree that been calm for the likes of Wike don’t work.

Even if we are banking on history , we can say in all sense of it that the likes of Wike and present APC have not been witnessed in our political history.

Their flagrant disregard for the rule of law and using the judiciary to give funny judgements like in the case of hope uzodinma ! Many more examples … how there pushed senator elisha abor out of the senate. Etc!

Let me make a prediction, it will happen soon that the judiciary will be so useless that their judgment will mean nothing to anybody both the powerful and the common man. It will happen in many states that electoral justice delivered won’t be respected. And couple with fight against terrorism , banditry , kidnapping… the law enforcement will be so overwhelmed that real anarchy will reign!

It is even happening!! If there like of yahaya bello can defy all law enforcement and judiciary and we all think it is so smart and normal.

We will all reap the reward of what we are doing?

And as for Wike ! Fubara is sadly a good student !

No one has a monopoly of madness

Instead of you to face your poverty, hardship and uncertain future , you are busy over other nations problem , comparing and talking about people that will never even post Rip even if a million of your kind are killed or faces disaster of any kind. Rubbish!!

JayDuke:
Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I was able to save some money and decided to get a another second hand motorcycle which I'll give out for hire purchase while still driving my first bike.
But my Dad suggested I should pick up a masters programme form, at first going back to school was not part of my plans, at least not now. But he agreed to assist me in the schooling, so I went to uniport and picked a form in accounting, cos I needed the analytical and management knowledge, even though I have ruled out the possibilities of getting a job, the accounting skill will help me manage my own business and companies in the future, so I had to pick the form, since I didn't study accounting in my first degree, I had to pick PGD form and will continue my business while still acquiring knowledge, I might not create another thread for now until I finish my schooling and probably have a solid business that thrives on a system.
I know it won't be easy but it's not impossible

you never get work with the first degree. You are going for masters! Please don’t listen to your father. Their ego is why a lot of things are the same in nigeria till today , and for the people promising you job after masters! Please just laugh it off. Okada might not be an ideal work, but it is a means to an end. Not a permanent thing .

EreluRoz:
😆 Asiwaju is a clown

a big clown at that!!! , he has not shown any step to make anyone see or feel that he never forced himself in for anything order than his personal ego, interest and money. The cost of governance is absolutely high.

He has not carried out any reforms to tackle corruption and boost the public confidence in his government . He is not prudent , keeping and toeing the same past mistakes.


Giving huge sums to law makers . Funneling billions to them as constituency projects ! What the hell is that? The law makers always say there are in to make laws ! So what on earth is the continues practice of constituency project that end up being abandoned and not maintained, that is if the money is not stolen?
Mr president!

You are in for you and your family … we have seen how you aided and used your influence to aid your brother to buy over an oil firm.
If you are serious ! Cut down cost of governance
Strengthen the EFCC , what the hell is going on with Yahaya bellos case! It is an eye sore for one man to be proudly disregarding the judicial and the crime agency! Not like it matters to you or this crazy leaders !

But haba! What lessons are you people showing the younger ones.
Put your toe on corruption! Submit a legislation for death penalty … I am sure the legislature under your pocket with pass it into law. If not mobilize the people to protest along you! That is if you mean you are not in for money and want to save Nigeria!
Nigeria under your watch needs strong reforms and new ways of doing things !

Take the side of the people!
You definitely lack what it takes! You are a typical Nigerian politician! You are there for you and you alone.
How come

Your wife trips cost over 600m in less than how many years? How come you are buying a brand new plane ✈️?
Like presidents of other countries that are accountable yo the masses don’t use public transport? And even if you don’t want, this hard time?

Mayflowa:
You left Russia that actually went to brutally attack another country to blame America. You think there are goats in Ukraine? These are real people dying in thousands. Healthy people! Poland will be the next country Russia will take.

please my friend what happened to Cuba when it posed as a threat to USA? No super power will allow the encroachment of its neighbors to weaken it. USA never took that lightly when Cuba amassed Russia nuclear weapons, because of the threat it created due to its proximity. Was Cuba not a an independent and free nation? It was! NATO pulling its strings on Ukraine would never be tolerated by Russia , it poses a threat to its existence . And also the persecution of Russian speaking people in Ukraine , how could Russia be quite when someone is telling its people to stop speaking Russia and start embracing Ukrainian language in schools and churches .
Russia had no other option than to fight for its own existence . America didn’t take it lightly with Cuba brighter will Russia with Ukraine.

This is a sensible nation, you can not be sacrificing the future of your nation your children and young men for USA , while their own children are busy wallowing in the luxury of free time and not even knowing which and what gender there are… pervasive madness and indulgence. No sane leader or nation that have studied the antics of America will be foolish enough to sacrifice its future for their greed for war and madness

Is so nice he was killed on the spot! His arrest won’t help with any silly intelligence, instead his oga at the top will bend the law and come up with all sort of stupid amnesty to get him out to continue from
Where he stopped

I am not here to argue nor support any … marriage takes effort ! People should be willing to resolve their differences if it is not abuse! Some african men can no doubt be all over their head about being the male figure!
The news we have been hearing no doubt of husbands being kicked out of their houses due to very funny issues is too much. We Africans are not the only immigrants!

1stGenAmerican:
The UK Metropolitan Police have made it clear that they had no part in telling Nigerian women not to call the police on their husbands. The police officer speaking in Yoruba in this video is being investigated—I’m sure he’ll lose his job and possibly receive criminal charges which is good!

Here’s the story:

Previous thread https://www.nairaland.com/8211011/uk-police-officer-advises-nigerian

some members of Nigerian community wey think the only thing uk and western world will offer them be freedom to misbehave and push their husbands out of the house at any slight instance done go report officer oo. No one support violence or abuse … but if anyone tells you most of your children will turn out great without their father or fatherly upbringing. You are lying to yourself!
Everything must not end in divorce .
Find a way to settle things !
Violence and abuse shouldn’t be tolerated though!

EvilMerodack:
These Religious leaders just like regurgitating rubbish
Things are hard and we know. Man will is right on top of the situation

this very man here voted tinubu, that is not an offense though, it is democracy.. he was saying up and down that tinubu is the most prepared person to become a president.

motymop:
majority of footballers are from the streets

Messi, ronaldo neymar and co were all from the streets

Football is not a gentleman game

You need to be aggressive not only in the field but also out of the field

In africa been aggressive means you are proud or stubborn, in Europe, it means passion

Oshimen has the mentality of the game but the clubs are trying to do him dirty.

Could also be greedy agents asking for too much

attitude is everything. Ask balotelli

EmekaStanley:
I also think Osimhen had some attitude issues.

Could be a contributing factor

it takes a lot of effort,personal dedication and quality associations to refine some one who have been in the street all his life struggling to survive on his own, there is that tendency to be aggressive and look at everything as a confrontation.
There is no doubt a great attitudinal issues there. Imagine this is happening to an African best award holder, is a big slap … but I am sure everything is a phase

Who can trust a man who said he recorded his private conversations with his coach as evidence . Character is everything. People have had disagreements with their team ,club and coaches… but there is always a limit to what you say and do. One bad egg will ruin a whole team spirit .

Curdlebug:
The import duties in this country is just unbelievably high and it is being calculated in dollars, why not charge a fix fee for each category of goods and stop calculating using price of goods, that's bad, very bad...and our exchange rate is the worst in west africa... a whole giant of Africa...

To clear 2007 Toyota camry at warf is 6.5million currently... in 2008, it was cleared for N500,000...

It makes me to wonder is Nigeria going forward or backwards... what sort of country is this?

in as much as the government need taxes to run and operate… the fees are outrageously high… and for those saying is a fraud or scam , it is not ! This payment is made into government agency account.

Nwagukosy:
Most times I wonder the need to even send items to Nigeria, when you can send that courier money and it will be bought in Nigeria and have change

yes it doesn’t make any financial sense . The cost of sending somewhat outweighs the value of items most of the times. If I only send the money for delivery and the amount used in paying the customs… it would be much appreciated

Curdlebug:
Customs are a menace... so someone should not send phone to Nigeria again and why is DHL own always different... USA pickers on Nairaland don't spend this much to clear phones and laptops naa... nawa o

dhl is following a laid down rule by custom to avoid problems. It is easier for them. I sent phone, a computer and other items last year home.. and I got the email for extra payment to customs, because I added my email as the receiver. The amount wasn’t this much… but I guess this is the standard now. Better to send money than all this stress
