When did Oshodi people become two NURTW factions fighting themselves.
The letter is filled with grammatical blunders which further confirms the real
players involved as opposed to the average Oshodi law abiding citizens.

Hmmm, so you mean the boss knew she had mental illness, but still kept her for easy nackings? cheesy

The army said they kept her after discovering her mental health issue
which is against protocol.
Make what you wish of such info.

crossbreedwears:
Can you employ a mental health person in your organisation??
The army sure employed this "mental health" person and kept her
even after they knew she has mental health.

When we say mental health, you lots automatically think a mad person roaming the street.
No, majority of active duty officers definitely have mental health issues.
The question you should be asking is what kind?

Do you have idea of the cost of 1 truck tyre?

If you do, you will understand why the drivers have to do that...

To the driver, paying bribe to the taskforce is more costly than losing a tyre.
Hence his choice.

It doesn't matter how much a truck tyre cost.
Nobody has the right to deprive hundreds of people their economic freedom
over poor decision.
Crime / Re: House Help Caught Red-Handed Putting Insecticide Into Her Boss Food (vid) by ivolt: 6:19pm On Sep 24
This seeming increase in housemaid being caught doing one evil or the other
is looking like bad scripted acts.

I believe most are fake or false allegations for reason best known to the oga/madam involved.

Moreover, the video evidence often turn out to be short clip of bullying an helpless maid
into saying whatever the master wants.

Nonsense.
The drivers should be arrested and thrown in jail.
You cannot terrorise the public because you have a disagreement with some task force members.

APCHaram:


The testimony and evidence of a mentally certified impaired individual does not hold in any court .


That's nonsense.
There are hundreds of mental health issues.
Very few of them preclude a witnesses' testimony from being taken.


Moreover, a court martial is not a law court, its primary role is to make the army
look good and justice secondary. And Ruth already committed a punishable offense by going public in their eyes.
Such issues are supposed to be treated hush-hush.

This army release repeated the ambiguos term "Medically vulnerable" to hide the
serious crime that have been committed.

When an officer become incompetent, the right thing to do is to discharge them
but the boss kept her in the force serially medicated for his own purpose.
A perfect patsy.

There was no investigation.
The Nigerian army exonerated the accused because the victim allegedly has mental health problems.
Millions of Nigerians allegedly have "mental health" issues and are still functioning members of the society.

In what universe does the mental health of a victim automatically makes the suspect innocent?

Which law, can't you quote the relevant section?


They can keep Holding him all they want but they can't convict him

Public perspection about kanu is gradually changing
Public perception in which country?

Some of you just love living in dreamland.
Public perception can't get the Nigerian government to solve existential
problems such as insecurity and hunger that can threaten its existence.

Is it a politically inconsequential case that the government will decide to fold

Politics / Re: Local Marketers Boycott Dangote Refinery Products by ivolt: 2:10pm On Sep 24
Another misleading report.
No business person will boycott cheaper products of same quality for any reason.

What happens is that some major marketers have import contracts spanning months,
until those contracts are concluded or voided, imports will continue.
Also, Dangote refuses to deal with small marketers who are willing to buy from it.

The quickest solution will be for NNPC to step in and buy diesel from Dangote and then
redistribute to smaller marketers.

The other option is to wait till the issue resolve itself.

hedonido:


True, but he wouldn't put out this official position without the Ayatollah's explicit approval. So we can say that he is acting as the Ayatollah's mouthpiece on this matter.
Not really.
The Iranian president is like a super minister/PR guy under a real president(Supreme leader).
He is restricted to certain roles locally.
He has the right to say a lot of things to make the country look good but not implementations or major deals.

MadPolitician:


I'm not necessarily arguing against borrowing/lending. I'm a businessman, i should know the importance lending/credit in advancing the goals of any business/country.
That's good.


I'm talking about the INTENTIONAL WEAPONISATION of loans given to poor African nations and other targeted economies in Latin America and Asia by western lenders, especially the ubiquitous IMF and the world bank.
As a business man, do you consider the loans you take(if you ever did) a form of weaponisation?
Why or why not?

Are you saying only rich nations should be given loans and the poor ones banned from such?
If so, is there any economic theory you are basing your recommendations on?


These loans are given to mostly corrupt governments in the developing world, with the deadly intention of forcing these struggling economies deeper into the "debt hole", while turning their scarce earnings into profits for the real owners of the IMF and the world bank; western imperialists
Every government is corrupt.
It just differs in manner and magnitude.

Only about 4 countries don't qualify for world bank loans.
Are you saying the rest are administered by "corrupt" governments?

This country is not changing anytime soon. Bitter truth.
You don't understand Nigeria's politics but majority of voters do.
Nigeria has no political party, they are just platforms.

It is the candidate that get voted and not the party.
This is especially the case in local elections.

Nigeria and Africa don't need IMF and World bank loan.

Are you suggesting that Nigeria need no loan or just not from world bank?


Why is there always condition attached to loan given. If you know how the sharks works, you'll see that Africa will continue to sink in deeper debt regardless the amount of loan given.
Is there a loan without conditions?
I will be very interested in such loans.
As far as I know, every serious loan has conditions that are designed to help
the lender recoup their investment.


Why has Nigeria not self sufficient in power, steel, refinery? They won't borrow to finance a project that will tranform the economy but will borrow for frivolities.
You should be asking your government and not the banks.

BTW, loans don't transform economy, government policy does.
No country can borrow itself out of poverty.


Have you ever see IMF condemn any African leader on corruption?
Again, you go the typical route of expecting foreigners to help you solve local problems.
That is not going to happen.
IMF is a bank, not a universal police officer/judge to help you fight corruption which you
can't do locally.

I am sure IMF must have talked about corruption uncountable times in the past.
But it is wishful thinking to expect such talks to deter any official from obtaining their own
slice of national cake.

But such talks are meaningless regardless of where they come from.
Condemnation or talks wont stop any official from stealing.
Crime / Re: ‘Diddy’ Combs' First Meal In 'rat Infested' NY Jail Revealed by ivolt: 8:35am On Sep 21
malali:

So where i am confused is, Nigeria doesnt tolerate LGBT, But the women are free to do "runs"

America tolerates LGBTQ, But they will throw a billionaire in Jail for carrying runs girls ??

Please make it make sense

PS: For liberally minded adults only.
Your post is confusion.
First, LGBT has nothing to do with prostitution laws.
Such laws doesn't discriminate.

Second, Diddy is not a woman and as far as I know, none of the women that
were involved with Diddy has been arrested. So, the women are also "free" as in Nigeria.
Diddy was arrested for sex trafficking and not just prostitution.

Third, in Nigeria, it is illegal to procure women or girls for sex work.
It is also illegal to act as a love-vendor.
That we don't enforce certain laws doesn't mean the law doesn't exist.

In Nigeria, P. Diddy would have committed a crime simply by hiring prostitutes even though the police
won't take action. That's the only difference.

Your suggestion is essentially a ban on borrowing.
It is impossible to implement for any national government.
Politics / Re: The World Bank And IMF Are Intentionally Destroying Nigeria by ivolt: 8:04am On Sep 21
Every country borrows.
Think of a country you consider strong and independent and you will
find out it is also borrowing from World Bank.
China borrows from world bank!

World bank and IMF are banks in most respect.
They want credit-worthy borrowers that are likely to pay back the loan.

It is not the case of those organizations looking for who to lend money to,
it is the desperate borrowers that are begging for loans.

In some cases, the borrowers are already in a financial mess which makes some
people associate the borrowing with the financial problems that triggered the
borrowing in the first place.

Politics / Re: How The Media War Between The United States And RT Affects Nigeria. by ivolt: 7:31am On Sep 21
I supposed this is in response to Russia banning western media since 2022 Ukraine invasion.
It is pretentious of "African Stream" to claim to be the voice of Africans.
What is that supposed to mean?
Even Hundeyin cannot claim to be the voice of Nigeria just because he is from Nigeria
and works for African Stream.

In reality, African Stream is not different from other media houses like CNN, Aljazeera and GCTN which
promotes the voice of the government, owners, sponsors or management.

There is no media house without bias.
Yes, some are more biased than the other, but in aggregate, political issues
are always biasedly reported to conform with the sponsors agenda.

The cold war is back and I will advise Hundeyin to choose his side carefully given his refugee status,
because we could get to a point where cursory or dubious links to the enemy will attract serious sanction.

Namaster:
The Nigerian culture wants us to believe that growing OLD means growing in wisdom. But the fact is you CANNOT outgrow stupid.

He called men "lazy bumcums" who are "insecure" and "jealous".
No, he didn't call men lazy bumcums.
He called insecure men lazy bumcums for pressuring their wives to resign.
Note the difference?


Then he cited an example of men earning #1.5M per month. The fool! grin

Minimum wage in Nigeria is #70K. ANY man who earns #1.5M is DEFINITELY not a "lazy bumcum".
Again, you misunderstand the issue.
That's just an example!
If not insecurity, why would a man who earns 70K should be angry that his wife is earning say 90K

I have got an advice for you, only date women with no skills or little education.
High school dropout will be great.
With such a partner, you are guaranteed of being the "top" earner forever.
And there will be neither insecurity nor envy in your marriage.
