DOTian: We always like to pretend like we don't know how things go in this country because the person at the receiving end is either not one of us or don't agree with us.
If you have had a relation with kidney problems in Nigeria, and kidney problems are very common these days, you would have known that getting a donor most times depends on how much you want to pay, if the donor is not a family member.(
Obviously this guy was promised a huge sum to donate, they got to The UK and it was noticed that his kidneys can't match with hers, which means that he has to go back to Nigeria. Aware that he might not be paid as promised because he didn't donate as agreed and not sure of a good future in Nigeria after returning, he bolted away with all sorts of sickening tales.
This is the plausible pattern of events and although Ekweremmadu is not my favorite politician, this accusations of human trafficking and organs harvesting as far as I'm concerned, all look staged to dramatize the whole story for media effects.

Do you know how many Nigerians that go through US Embassy and Immigration in just a year? There is nothing about Nigeria that UK officials haven't heard or seen. Ik Ekweremadu and wife "may" escape prison in this case but the harm is done already. It may seem that Ekweremadu's nemesis is always in Europe.
Ikem11: They should check him well he might already gone loco.
Madness get levels
/ But he won't be loco if he'd come with Bible, a wooden cross carved by the carpenter down the street and a plastic chaplet put together by Buddhist Chinese children.
A bus and maruwa was burnt down by some LASTMA officials at obanikoro. After they were questioned by the people in the area, they decided to bring in some thugs to destroy properties.
According to vanguard news, they also injured some people.
Just Tinubu's boys doing mock violence in preparation for what they think Nigerians will tolerate in 2023. All these nonsense will stop the day people gather mind grab McOluomo with tire and a bottle of fuel.
/ Only his children deserve the best treatment but not any of the millions of morons that keep voting him back into Senate. Greed is bad.
Let's assume the kidney didn't match as his defenders claim. Couldn't he in his magnanimity train the donor in UK for such a goodwill? The least he could do is offer him scholarship from his loot. /
/ I guess the London hospital he is taking the boy was built by Holy Spirit from heaven. He couldn't use his Constituency project money to build a single world class hospital in his home state. What did he do for his Constituency after decades in the city? He built a connecting road to some communities. That is all he has to show after decades in the Senate. Yet people are praising him. Oh well...Nigerians deserve the leadership they get. So he camped his family in UK and is in Nigeria lacking empathy for the suffering masses. I hope all those his supporters know that he is the only one in Nigeria looting to support his family in UK.
Mbaka spoke against Obi and he was disgraced out of his once revered position Ekweremade spoke against Obi and today he is arrested in UK for trafficking of a "minor" with illegal passport. He who God has ordained, humans fight him in vain.
The minor beating Ekweremadu got in Germany was God's way of trying to reset his brain. But he who the gods want to kill, they first make deaf.
KiNg0G: I lived with my father's brother for a long time. he didn't work one day, all he does in the morning was to wash his mouth, have his bath then have his meal, awaiting his wife to come back from her trade in the market.. Then off she went to prepare another meal.. Staying With them was hell for me because sometimes there was hardly food in the house but my uncle hardly cares about that, it is either he is in one joint with his friends on a sunny day or he is at home listening to radio stations. His wife was the provider and never for once did she insult him...
This same character has gotten into me deeply, I can't help myself. I can't do thing's for myself.
My girlfriend cohabiting with me is the one providing almost everything we need all I do is to give her my G-15 in the evening. I'm always at home 24/7. She's never complained, I love it, for me to get a job and be answering Sir sir to people, I can't.
Stay fresh, bath, eat and sleep is the order of the day.
Few women are like this, just the other day she asked me to come pay her bride price before the year ends, I asked her where would I see the money... baby girl told me not worry that something huge is coming..
I love this freedom, but sometimes I get a mixed feelings of been a liability, ants feeding on sugars. Anyway I'm enjoying myself quite well.
The real thing is my masculinity as the head of the house still intact.

She is APC and she still in campaign mode.
Come and wail after she wins the election.
E too sweet na im dey kill pass
Get ready to hear "Upon all I did for you" for the rest of your life /
/ The problem is that Southerners make excuses for the North most of the times. That's why Northerners treat them with disdain. In 2019, everyone believed that the Presidency should go to the North and clamoured for Northern(Muslim by default)-Southern (Christian candidates). The two conditions were met: Buhari/Osibanjo vs Atiku/Obi from APC and PDP respectively.
Now for 2023 election, APC agreed on the first rotation condition and selected a Southerner but a Muslim. They are planning on renegading on the second which rightfully should be a Northern Christian. PDP already renegades on the first condition by choosing Atiku but fulfilled the second condition with Okowa as the VP.
In a normal society, an argument can be made for a muslim-muslim ticket. But in a crime scene called Nigeria, muslim-muslim ticket is a train wreck waiting to happen. They may promise heaven and earth but everyone knows that keeping to promises is not something Nigerian politicians are known for. Therefore, Utomi should take his opinion on this and shove it where the sun shines the least in his body.
If only the author had added two more paragraphs, it would be the same word counts as the article used to convince Nigerians that Buhari would be the Messiah.
/ An old woman vehemently refused N5k offered by APC during the last gubernatorial election in Anambra State. So don't judge everyone else with the gluttony of Ekiti youths. If the Youths want to keep succumbing to Amala and ewedu politics, that's their kini.
EmmanuelEEjike: I recently came across this guy who draws hyper realistic portraits. It’s amazing how different people have unique talents. I am sure his parents must have persuaded him to stop drawing and focus on academics. Interestingly, he now gets client from abroad who contract him to draw for them. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q4UqLbYupA]
/
Wasted effort if you can’t give out contact details for interested or potential clients to reach him.
Imagine students who have been on Strike for most of the year coming online to campaign for Tinubu and APC to continue the "GOOD" work that Buhari is doing.
Wait until they graduate half-baked after 10 years. Then employers insist that applicants must not not be more than 24years with 3 years experience. Their eyes go clear.
Mode4: I have been thinking why the few peeps I know including some of my distant uncles who spent most of their years abroad came back to Nigeria to live when they became old. Is there something awkward about growing old overseas?
Even my sister in the US, has been telling me that once she gets old, she will come back to Nigeria to spend the remainder of her life. Folks abroad, what's really going on? Is there a harsh reality for the aged over there?

$2000 per month in US, s/he is a pauper.
$2000 per month in Nigeria, s/he is living large.
The retirement money will go a long way in Nigeria.
Holluwatarhyor: you are right but there are still few good ones,I've lost some projects because I billed up to the right standard for the said projects and the clients are insisting I should come down with the price,but I don't like sleeping with one eye closed,my peace of mind is paramount
/
There are many good ones but you have to waste a lot of money on quacks before finally meeting the competent ones.
Those who meet competent ones at the first opportunity do not know what others go through.
You give someone a job and still have to supervise them to ensure quality assurance.
If you notice, the degrees and qualifications that Nigerians parade on paper are not alway at par with their performances in real world.
Melvinbenggy: Hello everyone Good day, please I am having issues with honda eod 4 plugs anything I go through erosion the car turns off automatically and refuses to start till after some hrs please help me out what is the solutions engineer in the house.
Holluwatarhyor: Do we even know there's something called soil test before construction of a building,especially high rise buildings..
You need to assess the suitability of the soil for your construction project with vital data for informed decision making and planning. The quality of the soil on your site plays a key role in your construction projects.
But once a bricklayer tells you he's experienced,you are in,even it has to be a three storey building.....
/ And you are sure that the person doing the soil test is qualified? You are sure that the real engineer handling your project didn't "sort" his way through school?
Nigeria is what it is. The people who claim they know what they are doing are not affordable because their is no standardized pricing. Some people snap other people's projects and pass it off as their own. Nigeria is a basket case.
Going to school and getting a degree/certificates is only one of many factors in determining competence.
Adeleketoyin: My people please I need your advice.
I'm having a lil loggerhead with my Fiance.
My fiance works in a company, which doesn't give him time to come home or live in his rented apartment for long. I currently run a confectionery shop in my father's house.
My Fiance however wants to have a joint account with me when we get married soon in this my confectionery business. According to him, he'll support me, to help him get free in the future to stop his salary work and probably start another business without affecting the family.
But I don't want to have any joint account or partner with anyone in this my confectionery business. I want my business without any check or partner. He's insisting on joint account to run the business and its getting into our relationship.
Please what do you advice?
/
No advice necessary.
You people chose to pursue your relationship the Oyibo way. So be ready to deal with Oyibo relationship problems that make their divorce rate greater than 50%.
AngelicBeing: l agree with you, sometimes l ask myself, how did Nigeria as a country or Nigerians degenerate to the way it is now?
Where did we get it wrong?
How can Nigeria be salvaged and Redeemed from this downtrend it has spiraled into?
I don't know the quick fix that will get Nigeria working.
All/ Some / Majority of the politi- thievecians are criminals and l don't trust any of them with all the charade and Bulshit they are currently singing to the masses
The military has been zombied and ethnicized by the dullard and Philistine President living inside Aso Rock or else they would have been able to clean this dirty system and allow Nigeria to create new parties and also an home grown constitution to redeem the glory of Nigeria
I just taya for Nigeria and this is why many Diasporans are not willing to come back home, Nigeria in my opinion as it is currently is dead and beyond redemption
/ Nigeria is not that bad. The problem some of you in diaspora have is that you talk to Nigerians in Nigeria (with a few exceptions) like adults. No matter the age or level of education, just calm down and speak to them as you would a toddler. You hear all the chants about PVC. Let them start BBN this month and attention will be shifted away from PVC overnight. Think about how one could distract a child with sound and lights. /
jaephoenix: Im tired of correcting lies like this 1. Crypto never got up to 3tr, sir. Highest it got was 2.1 or 2 tr 2. Yes, Celsius is insolvent but it market cap constitutes a tiny fraction of the whole crypto market cap, so the effect isn't felt by many 3. Bros, Binance allows fund withdrawal. It just stated that withdrawal in Ethereum chain USDT was paused cos of backlog, and transactions were moving slowly, but withdrawal via other chains like BSC, Fantom, Polygon, Tezos etc were all good. So all one has is to withdraw via those chains and even pay a less transaction fee cos Ethereum chain has high gas costs like $2.5 and those other chains are cheap like $0.01 or so 4. And please how does the current global economic crisis sound like MMM? Una go just wake up, spin one tale, begin spread FUD
/ It is sad that you couldn't defend crypto vigorously as those MMM guys. Rookie attempt.
They both operate under the "Greater fool" principle.
