The security guards in the bank need to be fired.

That's the time they should have bundled you and throw you away like a piece of broken furniture.

A popular Delta state based native doctor "Chi Marine Temple" visited an orphanage home owned by the Anglican Church and donated gift items.

His donated has sparked controversies, some Christians suspect that he may destroy the destiny of the kids and hence the church owned orphanage home shouldn't collect the gift items. Meanwhile other Christians have blamed some pastors and church leaders of not living up to their responsibilities and urged them to emulate the herbalist.

What is your take on this?

/
Native doctor. Herbalist.

Sit down, take a deep breath and reflect on the title. What is wrong in being a herbalist (doctor that treats ailments with herbs) or native doctor (of course, not foreign doctor)?

What made Africans despise their own and embrace foreign things? Nike is good but Made in Aba is bad? Whoever destroyed Africans psychologically must have been a genius.

That's the familiar territory everyone is talking about where they move with police escorts and the oppressed praise them to the high heavens. It is business as usual. After all, he was never challenged in Enugu.

He can always go back for another yam festival in Germany with his coat of arms jacket to test his fame. That's the only litmus test.

....she told him immediately that she can't date him because she's short but he kept persuading her as usual.

... she didn't wanted to marry him in the first place because he's short but she was the one that persuaded her to marry him.

She won!

Leave her alone.

NB: I got it even though you keep misplacing the pronoun.

Los Angeles party crowd. Look at them. Fake lives.

That is their LA kingpin. Valentine Iro.

He is the one with the big stomach in the last pix

Interesting!

So he is Mrs. Barbara Amadi's younger brother. She even addressed him as Hon. Valentine Iro.
Honorable is the new craze among Diasporan Nigerians in Los Angeles. Everyone is now an Honorable.

He should just tell them that he is guilty in the next court proceeding so that is jail time will not be much

/
It doesn't work like that. It is called a "Plea deal" for a reason. A deal has to be made with the District Attorney's office first. He will be prosecuted on a lesser charge, then he can plead guilty to that for a less penalty. Pleading guilty doesn't mean he committed the crime. It is part of the chess game they play with people's lives in the judiciary system in US to save time and money involved in trials. It is worst for poor folks who don't have enough reserves to hire good and competent attorneys.

Eg: Charges X with a crime that carries mandatory 15 years minimum.
X makes a deal with DA to give names of accomplices for reduced charges that will get him out in 2 years.
This is where "snitching" comes into play. No lengthy and costly jury trial.
With all parties in agreement, X plays his part, serves only 2 years and is out.


With no deal, if he pleads guilty, they will nail him to the cross.

It is not about wailing online. If it pains you, start your company and employ Nigerians. That's the only way to prove him wrong. You sit on your lazy behinds and want foreigners to come to your fatherland and employ you.

Buhari is all talk and no action. By the way, he has been making so much noise about this CCTV since last week without implementing it. Let's see how it will address insecurity in Nigeria or it will just be another avenue to loot at the end it will be abandoned.

I'm very sure this speech was well written for him, If not, if you know you know.

/
Talk and no action? He is reading a speech prepared and handed to him. That's all.

/

/
The harm is done already.

Ekweremadu is now synonymous with yam and "beating".

They can rent the whole Enugu for all they care.

Even a mere invitation like "come eat yam" elicits laughter and mockery. That's how bad it is.

benn94:
These politicians are our major problem, yet some people come here to shout Ipob and Afonja. The day we put tribalism and religion aside is the day we will move one step forward in this country.

/
The politicians are not the problem. The problem is the masses that keep bowing, respecting and rewarding their oppressors. Don't be surprised if this community confers a traditional title to the governor of the state next month.

If he is a snitch, he deserves a standing ovation.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

No snitching policy has kept the African-Americans at the bottom of the toten pole. Why will Nigerians want to carry on such a retrogressive code?

He deserves some accolades!

Oluwafemi's case is gathering momentum in Australia

https://www.stelladimokokorkus.com/2019/08/nigerian-man-fisayo-abiodun-oluwafemi.html?m=1

Nigerian Man Fisayo Abiodun Oluwafemi Pleads Guilty To 11 Counts Of Email Scam Running Into Millions Of Dollars...
A Nigerian, Fisayo Abiodun Oluwafemi, has been charged with $1.4m fraud in Australia. He stands accused of dealing with more than $1.4 million in proceeds of crime from email scams targeting several businesses.







The Nigerian also helped to disperse money from the scams while he lived at Villawood detention centre in Sydney’s west.

Oluwafemi, 44, pleaded guilty on Thursday to 11 charges including nine counts of knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime. This was after he was arrested by the NSW Police Cybercrime squad on September 2018.

Police had launched Strike Force Woolana to investigate Oluwafemi and six others over a series of “business email compromise” scams. The scams involved somehow gaining access to the email account of a legitimate business.

The email infiltrator would then find invoices. Thereafter, he would use the information in them to request business payments into a new bank account.

Money deposited in that account was then withdrawn or transferred overseas.

Oluwafemi dealt with proceeds of crime after a series of individuals and businesses were targeted. This includes a company which owns land leased to a company named ‘7-Eleven‘ in the Melbourne suburb of Hallam.

An unknown person, posing as an employee of the landowner, emailed 7-Eleven on August 1, 2018, asking for the lease to be paid into a different account.

7-Eleven paid $464,977.06 the same day. Of that, $115,000 was transferred to another account. This was changed to US dollars and ultimately moved to Nigeria.

A Queensland law firm, a computer software company, and a father and son were among others to fall prey to the scam.

According to court documents, Oluwafemi and others acted on the instruction of other people based overseas when they coordinated how to distribute the money from the email scams.

Before he was detained at Villawood, Oluwafemi accompanied his de facto partner to a car dealership at Artarmon on March 8, 2017, where she bought a $58,000 Range Rover Evoque with the proceeds from a fraudulent bank account.

From detention, Oluwafemi then used three mobile phones to open 19 bank accounts using seven stolen identities.

He communicated with others on WhatsApp to tell them when money had been transferred into the accounts. Subsequently, the money was then withdrawn.

According to agreed facts, police have been able to recover $915,989.60 from the $1,425,653.76 proceeds of crime in which Oluwafemi dealt.

When Oluwafemi is sentenced, a further five charges will be taken into account. This includes three counts of dealing with identification information with the intent to commit an indictable offence, and one count of participating in a criminal group.

The Nigerian will face the District Court in Sydney on August 30.

I have lived in America for a very long time and I will tell you authoritatively tonite that America will expose who you are - it wont make you a better or worse person, it will just define you and make your true colors show. IF you dont have strong family values and the fear of God inside your heart, IF you do not naturally dislike crime and brought up to hate stealing, easy money or wealth without work, America will tap on your weaknesses and make you vulnerable - IF YOU ARE BROKE IN NAIJA, you can be at peace with yourself, because there are a lot of broke people around you, but IF YOU ARE BROKE IN AMERICA - its either you get into crime or you commit suicide. THE ONLY SAVING GRACE IS IF--- I REPEAT IF, you have a strong foundation of good upbringing in naija, before you traveled and you do not have parents or relatives breathing down your neck, then you will have the patience to try a career switch or training to get into a better job, and this comes with sacrifice- TIME ...you must be very FOCUSED, avoid bad influence (NAIJA FRIENDS WHO WILL MAKE YOU DERAIL OR PARTIES OR CHURCHES were they preach that you are wasting your time in America when others are prospering bla bla bla) ABOVE ALL - YOUR SPOUSE AND YOUR GOD will be the final factors to make or mar you. my people, America is not what it seems on TV. It is a very UNPREDICTABLE place - it can be very sweet and very challenging with unique difficulties and opportunities - it is not a place you plan from naija, most things u think of America while in naija ARE NOT TRUE!!!!

/
Some people will beg to differ because they watch too much TV or they live in fantasy world.

When prodded, their defense always starts with "My uncle in US...blablabla"

You nailed it. But that's the painful truth newcomers don't want to hear until reality hits them hard on getting here.

Sir Michael Otedola


Sir Michael Otedola (16 July 1926 – 5 May 2014) was a Nigerian politician and the former Governor of Lagos State, Nigeria.
Otedola was born on the 16 July 1926 into a Muslim family at Odoragunsin, Epe Local Government Area of Lagos State. He died on 5 May 2014 at his residence in his home town of Epe, Lagos. After moving to Lagos to pursue his education he won a scholarship to study Journalism at the Regent Street Polytechnicin London where he graduated in 1958.

He began his career as a teacher before working as a reporter at the St. Pancras Chronicle, then as a reporter and later sub-editor at The Guardian and The Times in England. On his return to Nigeria in 1959 he became an Information Officer in the Western Nigeria government, and while in this post he was appointed the Editor of the Western Nigeria Illustrated. In 1961 he moved into public relations, working for Western Nigeria Television/Western Broadcasting Service (1961-1964) and Mobil Oil Group of Companies (1964-1977), continuing as a consultant to Mobil after leaving the company.

He was elected governor of Lagos State from 1992 to 1993 on the platform of the National Republican Convention (NRC), leaving office when General Sani Abachacame to power. His administration facilitated establishing the Yaba College of Technology campus in Epe, his home town.
After leaving office, he continued his career as a writer, a consultant holding positions on the boards of various businesses, and a philanthropist. In February 2010 ThisDay newspaper announced that he was among 15 eminent Nigerians who had won Lifetime Achievement Awards. His son Femi Otedola became the billionaire owner of Nigerian oil giant Zenon Petroleum and Gas Limited. The Michael Otedola College of Primary Education was named after him after his demise.


NB: Let's warm up to cheer Tinubu's son

Now this is what you call bountiful harvest of Nigerians.

Someone stated in another thread how easy it is in US ... that's because folks like these fly in with their loot to Nigeria to make noise.

wman:
Lol. You know nothing. You really know nothing. I wish you knew the real state of things in Lagos. Those in strategic positions in Local governments, the state house of assembly and other state ministries. The key alignment of indigenes and residents, the way things are run underground and all.

Tinubu is a master strategist. He was instrumental to defeating Jonathan in 2015. He withstood the opposition from Obasanjo for years.

/
No human being that breathes and bleeds is indestructible. Even Julius Ceasar thought otherwise. Tinubu has no military of his own. The quality of his followers (who happen to be lilly-livered, moderately ambitious Yoruba males) determines his limits. I didn't say men. Watch how the Northern cabals will play him when 2023 draws near. El Rufai and Ganduje have fired the first shots.

/

/
Getting married is one thing but having a blissful marriage is another thing.

/

/
Tinubu is not an emperor.

He is a man who is lucky enough to be leading cowards.

Throw a man with the temperament of governors from Edo, Imo, Anambra or Rivers into that governorship position and he will run Tinubu out of Lagos.

Heck! An a-hole may destroy Bourdillon close and say it is not on the Lagos masterplan just to spite Tinubu. Tinubu has to be challenged to ascertain if he is as powerful as they claim. But it can't happen until a "man" becomes the governor of Lagos State.

Tinubu doesn't have an army of his own.

I am sorry you think FEA is in the books .. Well no words for u because is actually a new concept not really something old ..like you described in the books .. If you are an engineer before 2007 . it never existed ..so for u to know it .. Its outside of the books already .. I am not the typical Nigerian .. And some typos I commit are intentional to put live into my opinions .. And when I spot someone who don't like me .. I quickly remember how my classmates felt when I was asked to teach them one day in school ... Misery loves company ..and I rejected to be ignorant and go further a long time ago ..

FEA or IFA designer. Drop the books and think outside the box. Contrary to what they teach you in Nigeria, critical thinking is not a crime. Cram and vomit is obsolete.

You are so married to concrete and steel column buildings that anything beyond it is a miracle to you. Be informed that progressive professionals have this crazy thing they do called "thinking". Try it once in a while.

No need for unnecessary promises.

The political watchdog "IPOB" will let us know if you are doing a wonderful job or not.

If in doubt, join a gym to keep your physical fitness up. It may come handy if you need to race to a getaway car. Just a friendly advice.

Mercedes Spies On Drivers By Secretly Installing "Big Brother" Tracking Devices In Cars

https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_20190822_004806_151-600x336.jpg

If you plan buying a new vehicle, especially a Mercedes-Benz car, through finance, then you have to think twice...

Mercedes in UK is caught in a row over privacy after admitting all new and used cars sold by its dealers are fitted with secret "Big Brother" tracking devices which can pinpoint their location.

Mercedes-Benz, who will not say how long it has used the trackers, said the sensors are not used to permanently track customers or access real-time data.

This is old technology.

They have "black boxes" that detail a driver's driving habit like speed limit, acceleration, braking, etc which can be analyzed after an accident.

But if you live in Nigeria, don't worry about it because nobody really cares about your existence.

They may only collect your data for advertising and marketing purposes only.

He wanted to learn about poultry farming while your mother wanted to learn about oil bunkering?

Your mother is a jaguda!

/
It is sad that it happened to Ekweremadu.

But the message seen all over the world is loud and clear.

No amount of solidarity can change that. Nigerian leaders react better to actions than words. All the texts, tweets, threats, strikes, protests, cajoling, communique, etc can never move them. But a few slaps, knocks, jabs especially in an unfamiliar territory bring them down to the reality of humans.

The day ASUU will beat the Minister of Education into coma, their arrears and salaries will be paid as at when due. The same goes for NLC. Negotiations haven't got them anywhere in decades.

Need a change? Quit talking and act!

No. The British government will strip Kanu of his British citizenship and deport him to his second nation Nigeria. Also important is the fact he is a naturalised Briton and not British born.

Yes. Abuja will order Britain to strip Kanu off of his British citizenship. For one, if it must happen, it will go through a process and not by dictatorial fiat. You are daft.
