I wanted to travel from Abuja to Delta on Saturday, so I decided to board a commercial vehicle (name withheld). Soon, the bus got filled up and we started the journey. I was so enjoying the journey because the driver was on a very high speed and there was a lot of breeze coming into the vehicle. Fast forward to Lokoja just before river Niger and river Benue, we saw from a far distance that there was hold up(because of environmental sanitation) and our driver tried to stop the vehicle but the brake refused to respond(our vehicle was on a very high speed), there was a petrol tanker just in front of us(I was already saying my last prayer, since the vehicle, refused to stop), everyone in the vehicle started screaming the name of Jesus (beside the four hausa guys at the back of the vehicle) and all of a sudden the vehicle diverted from our Lane into the other Lane and stopped miraculously without brake. Now, if the vehicle had not diverted we would have crashed into the tanker and only God knows, maybe I would have been dead, leaving my family in grief and sorrow, but God saved me.
I shared this in crime section because, the careless driver knew the brake was not in good working condition but he decided to use the vehicle because his manager told him that if he doesn't use it, he should just consider himself fired... Is this not the worst crime on Earth??... Well I thank God I didn't die nor did anyone in the vehicle die..

KingOfAmebo:
Sequel to a picture depicting how EFCC Traced 1.3billion NSA Funds To Fayose's Account it beats my imagination that people have failed to use their sense of judgment to see the impossibility in the said picture.

Read the thread here and see people's reaction:

https://www.nairaland.com/3185766/how-efcc-traced-1.3billion-nsa

Sometimes out of pure hatred for an individual, some people just love to display their dumbness with pride.

According to the said picture "N2 Billion Naira(not N2 million) was withdrawned IN CASH by Mr. Obanikoro, Ex-Minister of State for Defence"

How on earth is it possible to withdraw that amount of money "IN CASH" from a bank?

I shake my head for people that believe this is actually possible.

I disagree with this report although I think your posting was apt.

The report is written from a portfolio managers point of view and it is extremely short term in scope. Brexit means more trade with Africa not less. The UK is going to take a hit of between 50-65 billion on an annual basis. This funding gap has to be replaced. Where? The old Commonwealth sounds like a good place to start. In the past this body was more like a tea party/ photo op but it does have the architecture to be much more. If the UK is no to shutter factories and lower production it must find new markets and strike new trade deals.

Trade deals that are now free of the influence of EU policies and restrictions.

On a personal basis I think Brexit will hurt Britain in the short run. It has to find new trade deals to fill the gap and it won't find them in China. It will want to leverage on its old relationships and the Commonwealth represents a great outlet.

Fund managers think equity and bond investments. They also think grants and concessionary loans. I am talking about investment into the real sector. The real place Africa needs it.

It's back to 340 this evening; Call your Mallam.
The Kangaroo hide and seek policy will be running in circles.
There is no foundation and structure to sustain floating forex policy except CBN knows how much dollar people need in a day, which is impossible.

This is Nigeria, so it's either you devalue and stablize or you stick to your hard-line and criminal disbursement of our dollars to your friends and relatives.
There is too much corruption in the system and it will take years to clear.
Some people will have to be jailed forever before we can achieve that, That's what the Chinese did and maintained.
The problem is that some animals already believe that it's a way of life to cheat the system.
When you appoint your friends and family to CBN or any agency ahead of more qualified people, That's massive corruption. You may think you are doing them a favour but the truth is that you are setting the country back.

Either way, we can only suffer it for a few more years before you either finish your tenure or die. Time takes care of everything.
I am not wishing you death, it's a natural occurrence that seems to target old people more than the young ones.
Just that we fail to acknowledge that.

And before the trigger happy banner pull his trigger, understand that i am just saying the truth and that i don't care.

Kestolovee95:
like the Igbos have always voted for resource control, can you yoruba muslims and fulanis agree that what is found in Ijawland should belong to ijaws, and what is found in Efikland should belong to Efiks. Nobody buys your 'ibo want their oil" lamentations anymore because even a lizard in the creek know their real enemies- yoruba muslims, hausas, and fulani.


where is jpphilips, let him come and write Igbos a love letter with his blue ink in a desperate bid to maintain Oil unity with the East. He should also remember to remove all the hausa, fulani and yoruba oil block owners from that his list, and retain only emeka offor's own in a desperate bid to convince Igbos that Niger deltans are the enemies. You know he is very intelligent while the rest of us are "demented idddiots" because we are pro-biafrans.

Shewunoshewa:
When a politician is well aware beforehand that he'll have to hustle to get funds to run his state rather than rely on Abuja for pittance, he'll think twice before running for public office.

I hope you can figure that out.

HONESTLY IS LIKE YOU REASON WITH YOUR ANUS

DANGOTE IS OWING AND SERVICING HIS DEBT

DONALD TRUMP FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY MORE THAN 3 TIMES NOW

THIS IS HOW SAVANNA BANK DIED THEN DUE TO DEBT UNPAID AND LOTS OF ORDINARY MAN DIED THEN DUE TO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

I KNOW YOU ARE STILL A BABY, KINDLY GO BACK HOME AND ASK YOUR FATHER ABOUT SAVANNA BANK

a2personal2013:
Wahala dey ooooo. Everybody that has voiced against this government is now being pursued by one legality or the other. We are all watching in 3D googles where this will lead us to.

We have an unending list of debtors cutting across various Nigerian businesses. Why is BMB being singled out ?

Like we always say " whatever is good for Boniface should equally be good for boniyarnsh"

how can this be a jet trail,look at the angel of
elevation it was a projectile fired
maybe a missiles, or some rocket .
if a jet should climb into the sky like that it would stall.
even the F35 lightening ll can't do that

agabusta:
Its not the FG, it is Vanguard stoking tension. The security agencies in Nigeria needs to put Vanguard under the spotlight. They tactically support anything working against the interest of Nigeria as a single entity. I had always suspected that the effects of the bombings were not as serious as portrayed by the media. It was a strategic strategy by the FG. The FG also knows this but kept quiet, Vanguard has now put it upon itself to announce to everybody that our production was just affected a little by the bombings.

Vanguard was also the first to announce to the whole world (including the militants) that the FG has gone ahead to repair the NPDC pipelines that were bombed. And they even did the reportage in a way to spite the militants and spurn them to rebomb the place.

I have been studying the way Vanguard reports its news since last year, they are usually styled to invoke tension. There report of anything Biafra is also in that way. They go the extra mile to work on the emotions of both pro and anti Biafra elements by their pathetic headlines. And whenever Biafra/fulani herdsmen/militant news comes up, they usually over-flog it just to sustain the tempo of exchange of ethnic/tribal bashings.

this is the part that has got me wondering what kind of children we are raising in this country.

trychris:
This calculation by Lere Olayinka to point out the age difference between President Buhari and his wife Aisha has set the twitter buzzing. Check it out:

Lere Olayinka
‏@OlayinkaLere
AISHA DON EXPOSE HERSELF:

Buhari is 73. Aisha is 45.

Age Gap is 32 years.

45 - 32 = 13 years old.

CHILD BRIDE?

I didn't follow the case then. Please who is she

Gaskia:
Who was the woman, tell us since you followed the case than Fayose.

Afroconnect:
Nothing wrong with our Army,just that our President and so called leaders are selfish and too greedy,not as patriotic as the Chadian leader-who is a true fighter and has literally fought for his Nation.

Our set of politicians are our biggest enemies,they will destroy Nigeria if we don't get rid of them or force them to lead right.

Meet US Congressman Jefferson Jailed For Bribing Atiku - Cramjones[/b]

William Jennings Jefferson was born on March 14 1947. He was the US Congressman representing Louisiania's 2nd Congressional District.

[b]Party: Democratic Party

Education:

B.A Southern University in Baton Rouge


J.D Harvard Law School

Married to Andra Jefferson with five daughters - Nailah Jefferson, Akilah Jefferson, Jamila, Jalila, and Jelani.

Charges: He was convicted on a 13 count charge bordering on money laundering, bribery, and corruption. Of those convictions there was hard evidence that he gave Atiku Abubakar the then Vice President of Nigeria $500,000 to be able to secure a contract for American company iGate LLC, who had bribed him with $400,000 to secure contracts in Nigeria and Ghana, given his connections in those countries exchange for 10% shareholding in the company. Through secret FBI recordings, he estimated the company was going to make about $200 million a year after five years operations, giving him a $20million a year kickback from stocks in the company. The FBI found $90,000 cash hidden in his Freezer. The US. Attorney-General at a speech announcing his sentencing said "This ruling shows that America is a country of laws, that even a high ranking Congressman is not spared."

Jefferson was sentenced to 1year on each count with a total of 13 year sentence. He has currently served 7 years so far.

Meanwhile Atiku Abubukar his Nigerian counterpart, has gone on to build a University, enrich himself more, run for president, and even sponsor a current President to office. In summary, while Congressman Jefferson rots in jail for the late stages of his life, his counterpart in Nigeria, flies private jet, tweets to his numerous kids, and form "elderstatesman".

eyeview:
Counter the argument if you have contrary facts. Stop being a typical zombie that resorts to insults without making one single point.
Has buhari produced his certificate as we speak? Simple yes or no.
Did he procure 13 sans to defend him over the allegation? Simple yes or no.
Are you so degenerated that when faced with a fact,you resort to insults.

eyeview:
Has anyone noticed that the efcc could within 24hours of the accusation against the wife of the president produce the int'l passport of the aisha buhari,just to disclaim that accusation.
But to produce the waec result of the president,a document that qualifies or disqualifies him constitutionally from holding that office,nobody can. Instead he procures the services of 13SANs to defend him in court.
....Something is wrong.
Be he apc or pdp,north or south,if you are not qualified by law to contest and you do,that's impunity and illegality punishable by imprisonment

idupaul:
The presidency should go further by reopening the halibuburton case and letting Nigerian know who that Aisha Buhari is because alot of us might think it's the presidents wife for the simple reason that we know most ex head of state collected the Bribe except General Buhari but the myth goes that a certain Aisha Buhari went behind to collect it on behalf of her role incorruptible husband ..so who is Aisha Buhari and why has The Buhari led govt refused to look at halibuburton despite it stance on anti corruption?

vargasvictory:
That's the problem with this present Govt, stubbornness.


Why not plan well and get to know what this people really want, definitely everybody wants something

But our burukutu-headed president who is head over heels in love with himself, would rather do it his way

I hate to say this but it might still be destroyed even before it's completed
