Dtruthspeaker: The trick is to find the wrongest view as this view here is from the passenger's view. Whereas from the driver's view, the angle would be wrong.
So, B is the correct one because that is the view the driver needs to see the back and side.
Did you notice where the other vehicles were overtaking from? Your angle interpretation is wrong.
CyynthiaKiss: You want to kill the living because of his comment about a dead man ? Not that he started the trouble, but he was only reacting because someone who happens to be a Muslim insulted his own Hindu religion.
You see the problem I have with these people ? If I talk now they will start with their deceptive slogan “Islamophobia”
Judgement is left for God. This is why l love Christianity and other religions , no matter what you say about Jesus Christ nobody will come for you, rather they will pray for you to repent..

I want to profusely thank all the lovers of Lagos, all of whom have refused to major on the minor.
Thank you for the outpouring of love and support. Your encouragement gives me the energy, courage and faith to keep believing that, one day, our country will be great.
Rebuker: Tonto Dikeh was spotted on a rocky mountain yesterday afternoon, deep in prayer with members of her new congregation. The short video shows her kneeling and prostrating on the rock at an event called The Mountain Experience, wearing a simple olive top, jeans, a cross necklace, and those signature long blue nails. Later she stands, glasses on, hands raised as she worships.
This is the same Tonto who once went by King Tonto. In 2026 she fully stepped into ministry, dropped the old title, and launched New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle in Abuja. The mountain session is the latest public glimpse of that new chapter, and it has already set social media buzzing with both praise and admiration for her transformation.
Regardless of what people say, the change is obvious, and this can only be God.
Tonto Dikeh has also been inspiring younger ones through her several philanthropic and charity outreaches, using her platform to reach out to people and make a difference in the lives of others.
Her journey from entertainment into a more openly spiritual chapter is one that has certainly caught the attention of many Nigerians.
esnbrutality: Abductors who seized 19 graduates travelling from Ibadan, Oyo State, for their National Youth Service Corps orientation camps have demanded N950m for their release, Saturday PUNCH has learnt.
The victims were travelling in two buses when gunmen attacked them along the Owerri-Onitsha Road in Umunoha, Imo State, on Thursday.
The Managing Director of Uko Akwa Ibom Motors Nigeria Limited, Isiah Akpan, who confirmed the incident to Saturday PUNCH on Friday, said the gunmen demanded N50m for each of the victims.
He noted that occupants of the vehicles, owned by his company, were corps members heading to Abia and Akwa Ibom orientation camps.
Saturday PUNCH gathered that the abductors contacted some of the victims’ families and demanded N50m for each person.
The demand heightened anxiety among families as security operatives continued efforts to locate the missing passengers.
Recounting how the incident happened, Akpan said the two buses left Bodija/Samonda Park in Ibadan on Wednesday but were delayed by traffic around Benin, Edo State.
According to him, the vehicles eventually reached Onitsha, Anambra State, late in the day.
He explained that they could not continue the journey because of the condition of the road, forcing the drivers and passengers to spend the night in Oba.
Akpan said the buses resumed their journey around 5 am on Thursday.
He said they had barely entered Imo State when gunmen emerged from the bush.
“They blocked the two vehicles and took 19 passengers, all corps members, into the bush,” he added.
Akpan noted that the drivers managed to escape and alerted security personnel at a nearby checkpoint, prompting the police and military to begin searching the area.
He, however, said the search operation was initially complicated when some villagers allegedly prevented security personnel from removing the abandoned buses from the scene.

He, however, said the search operation was initially complicated when some villagers allegedly prevented security personnel from removing the abandoned buses from the scene.
According to him, the intervention delayed the movement of security personnel as they attempted to pursue the abductors.
The two buses were subsequently left at the scene, with passengers’ belongings scattered inside the vehicles.
The Imo State Police Command had on Thursday night said 10 victims were rescued.
In a statement obtained by Saturday PUNCH, the Police Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, explained that security agencies were on the trail of the abductors and had launched a coordinated search for the remaining victims.
However, Okoye could not confirm if the rescued victims were among the abducted corps members.
A parent of one of the victims, who did not want to be named for security reasons, told Saturday PUNCH that the abductors contacted her through her son’s phone and demanded N50m for his release.
“The kidnappers called with my son’s phone this morning (Friday) and demanded N50m for his release. The N50m is for only my son,” she said.
Another mother, who identified herself as Mrs Oladosu, whose daughter, Greatness, was travelling to Uyo, said the abductors briefly contacted the family through her daughter’s phone.
She said the family was able to see Greatness and other victims during a video call.
“They used my daughter’s number to call us. We saw her and other corps members sitting on the ground in the bush, crying. Where will petty traders get N50m? They are just going to serve Nigeria; why this punishment?” Oladosu lamented.
In a viral video obtained by Saturday PUNCH on Friday, Mrs Alimotu Akanke, the mother of another victim, Akande Farouq, said she had been tracking her son’s journey when the distress message arrived.
Farouq, who was posted to Abia State, according to his mother, managed to send a one-word message, “Kidnappers!”, to his family WhatsApp group before his telephone line went dead.
A manifest from the two affected vehicles listed 30 passengers, 15 in each bus, while two other vehicles operated by the same company and heading to Abia State escaped the attack.
Among those on the manifest were Akande Kehinde, Olaleye Mary, Oladosu Greatness, Obafunsho Rhoda, Abdulrof Anifat, Esther Oyede, Hassan Usman, Ayomide Isa, Mary Makinde, Azeez Adejoke and Abdulrazaq Anifat.
Friends launch social media campaigns for victims
Some purported friends of the abducted prospective NYSC members have taken to social media to seek support for their rescue.
One of the victims was identified as Precious Oladipupo, a graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University.
Writing on X, one Adebayo (@Adebayoakim1), solicited public support for the safe release of Wahab Ayandare, whom he claimed was also abducted in the same incident.
Another friend, Akinlabi Abayomi (@Mubiiiiin), appealed for help for another alleged victim, Oyindamola Adeoye.
Abayomi said the abductors had demanded N50m for her release.
Oyo govt condemns abduction
Meanwhile, the Oyo State Government has condemned the incident, describing the abduction as distressing and reprehensible.
The Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, stated the government’s position in a statement issued in Ibadan on Friday.
He said the government was in close communication with relevant security agencies, the Imo State Government and the NYSC leadership to ensure an urgent and coordinated response.
Oyelade said Governor Seyi Makinde had directed that all necessary resources be deployed to secure the safe return of the victims.
According to the commissioner, the governor emphasised that the safety and well-being of every Oyo State indigene, both within and outside the state, remained a top priority.
“We are fully committed to securing the safe release of our children and will stop at nothing to ensure that they are reunited with their families without harm,” the statement read.
Abduction of NYSC members
The Imo attack came 36 days after 15 prospective corps members were abducted along the Aloma-Egane Expressway in Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The victims, who were travelling from Bayelsa State to Abuja, were attacked by gunmen on August 26.
Security forces subsequently rescued the abducted corps members and other victims from Egume Forest in Ofu LGA.
In May, an Abuja-based lawyer and corps member, Eunice Ameh, was abducted in Maitama, Abuja, but later regained her freedom after a ransom was reportedly paid.
Similarly, corps member Musa Abba was abducted by bandits while travelling to Sokoto in January, raising concerns about the safety of young graduates across the country.
Also, Lateefah Binuyo, who was abducted in Kogi State while travelling to an orientation camp in Taraba State in January 2026, regained her freedom after 10 days in captivity.
Her abduction prompted the Lagos State House of Assembly to call for improved security along major routes used by corps members.
In February 2023, 15 corps members abducted in Anambra State were rescued by the police, while a corps member was killed during a gun battle between bandits and security operatives along the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway in 2022.
The recurrence of attacks involving prospective corps members travelling between states has therefore heightened concerns among parents and graduates over the safety of interstate movements and the security of participants in the NYSC scheme.
A 2023 report by the Foundation for Investigative Journalism revealed that at least 80 corps members were abducted between 2013 and 2023, with Rivers State accounting for half of the cases.
Findings by Saturday PUNCH also showed that more than 20 corps members were killed in various attacks between 2015 and 2026.
The incidents have left families of missing corps members searching for answers.
Experts seek review of NYSC deployment policy
A security analyst, Chidi Omeje, said criminal networks could be exploiting the predictable movement of young graduates during NYSC mobilisation and deployment periods.
“This is becoming a pattern, I think, because everyone has information about the mobilisation of corps members; criminals can use that to plan coordinated attacks.
“The Federal Government and the NYSC need to strengthen security arrangements for corps members travelling through identified kidnapping corridors,” he said.
A security expert, Olalekan Jackson-Ojo, said the NYSC’s national integration objective was being undermined by the inability to guarantee corps members’ safety across the country, adding that special security arrangements might not adequately address the risks in volatile areas.
He suggested that corps members be allowed to serve within their states or regions rather than being deployed to high-risk locations.
Jackson-Ojo warned that failure to review the deployment policy in line with prevailing security realities could discourage graduates from participating in the scheme and eventually threaten its survival.
An educationist, Dele Olapeju, said the spate of kidnappings involving corps members was contributing to declining public confidence in the NYSC, as apprehensive parents increasingly sought redeployment for their children.
He noted that the worsening insecurity had changed public perceptions of the scheme and stressed the need for stronger security and improved protection measures.
Olapeju urged the government to prioritise corps members’ safety and avoid deploying them to high-risk areas rather than dismantling a scheme established to promote national integration.
When contacted, the Director of Public Relations, NYSC, Caroline Embu, had yet to respond to enquiries about the latest incident as of press time.
For us in Yoruba land na language first then capacity. You won't dictate how we do our thing for us in Yoruba land. Go and dictate in your region. If shame has a name...☹️
Fuck you and your good governance. We will not handover the political power of our land to someone who is not loyal to us. You can take him to your region to give you thay good governance, you need it more!!! https://t.co/DLXlda62OUpic.twitter.com/NY9OCtrA7W
V7place: In 2022, we conducted research into the viability of Peter Obi winning the 2023 elections for our one of clients and published the story on Nairaland and Instagram.
We disappointed them with our take that with the platform he had and timeframe he couldn't win the Presidency, but we shocked and surprised them when we told them he could win Lagos. We don't know what they did with the information, but Obi did shock everyone and won Lagos. Such a victory had never happened before in Nigerian history!
Imagine if we had done the story in video format. Well, this is what we do now!
Now 2 clients have given us assignments: the first, our old client from 2022 has given us the same assignment to access Peter Obi’s chances; and on October 1st 2026, we will premier on Nairaland, Youtube and Instagram " 2027: How Peter Obi can do the impossible"
Side by side a 2nd client contracted us earlier in the year to research the Sure Pathway to a 2nd Term for President Tinubu taking into account all the present challenges; we did and he us allowed us to premier it in video form. [b]Watch the Premier on October 7th. [/b]This is world class ironclad analysis.
We are not partisan, we just deliver excellent products to our clients as we work to make Nigeria great .
Now this is where you come in. As a member of Nairaland, we are inviting you to grab the opportunities presented in this day and age.
Are you the best maker of Eba in the world and no one knows? Did you see a witch flying in your boarding house days? Do you have an idea on how to change Nigeria? Do you have a car you use for Uber or can you help people paint houses? Do you believe Tinubu deserves 4 more years or you know for certain that Atiku, Obi or Sowore are the only hope for Nigeria or are you certain that UFOs are real or maybe you want to share your faith and religion. Whatever it is that's on your mind, we can bring it to life for you. We helped Philip dramatically transform his Uber business by creating a video he shared to his Whatsapp and Facebook followers, his business blew up over night, he had to recruit some fellow Uber drivers to his network. We helped a small barbing saloon create a video that dramatically increased their business. We helped a guy in the US create a trailer for story that has always been in his head, now he is set to debut his first movie.
5 years ago, only big companies did adverts on TV and it meant spending millions of naira recruiting actors, getting film makers and sometimes going to shoot in South Africa and many times one advert could take weeks or months. Now any business even a local restaurant, like one of our clients in Lagos can do the same thing in hours for less than the cost of good food at Hilda Baci's restaurant!

This is the Abuja that Wike is boasting he will win.
Youths are fighting the APC organizers at an Independence Festival because they came to turn a celebration into a Tinubu campaign. Is it by force to campaign for Tinubu in Abuja? This is beyond embarrassing. People came to celebrate Nigeria, not attend a political rally. https://t.co/PMhfKgVuJ4pic.twitter.com/9eHUJzqWY3
[quote author=Iamdbull post=140797851]Today marks the 66th independence of Nigeria and Presidential aspirants Peter Obi has taken the center stage to address Nigerians.
Here it goes
Nigeria at 66: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Fellow Nigerians,
Today we mark the sixty-sixth anniversary of our independence. It ought to be a day of celebration and thanksgiving to God Almighty for the gift of life and for the immense blessings He has bestowed on our nation—our diversity, our abundant human and natural resources, our vast agricultural potential, and the relative absence of devastating natural disasters.
It should also be a day of appreciation and patriotism: a day to remember our founding fathers and all those who made selfless, and in many cases supreme, sacrifices for the birth, survival and growth of our dear nation. We must acknowledge the efforts of past and present leaders who have laboured, however imperfectly, to build a better Nigeria.
Yet independence anniversaries must never be reduced to mere celebration. They are moments for honest national reflection. We must look back, examine where we stand today, and ask ourselves whether we are moving in the direction our founding fathers envisioned.
In national planning and strategy, every serious nation must continually ask three fundamental questions:
Where are we today? Where do we want to be? How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?
These questions are especially urgent now. Despite the enormous promises made by the APC-led government in 2023, our nation continues to face deepening challenges across virtually every critical sector of national life.
Today we stand before the world as a nation:
With an extraordinarily large population living in poverty and severe hardship; over 140M
With one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world; over 18M
Where insecurity, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten lives and livelihoods, just recently 37 young Nigerians in their productive age lost their lives
Where millions of Nigerians struggle with hunger and food insecurity; over 40M Nigerians will be in extreme hunger by the end of 2026.
With unacceptably high rates of infant and maternal mortality; Nigeria today is the worst place to be born.
Where youth unemployment and underemployment remain alarmingly high; over 35M
Where drug abuse and substance misuse increasingly threaten our young population; today 14% as against global average of 6%
Where life expectancy remains among the lowest globally, today 54 years against global average of 74 years
And the list goes on.
This reality demands serious, sober and honest reflection. Socrates taught that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By the same principle, an unexamined nation cannot successfully chart its future. We must therefore ask ourselves: Are we cursed, or have we become the curse through the choices we have made and the failures we have tolerated?
The answer cannot be that Nigeria is cursed. We are a nation immensely endowed and blessed. Our greatest problem is not a lack of resources; it is the failure to convert our enormous resources into human development, productivity, security and shared prosperity.
Only yesterday, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and I returned from a two-day visit to Sokoto State. We held extensive consultations with people from different parts of the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, poverty, youth unemployment, drug abuse and other challenges confronting our people.
In concluding the visit, we went to the Internally Displaced Persons camp at Ramin Kura within Sokoto metropolis. What we saw was deeply troubling. Thousands of women and children live in deplorable conditions, displaced from their homes and deprived of the basic necessities of life. Many of the children have no access to education. Mothers and children have limited access to basic healthcare. These are Nigerians who should be living in their communities, going to school, farming their land, conducting their businesses and contributing to the economy. Instead, they live as displaced persons in their own country.
Israel should make it a policy that for every Israeli killed 100 will be terminated in revenge. Untill overwhelming force is used those monster terrorists won't be deterred.☹️

'I was misled by Peter Obi, "the greatest liar". There was a time I told Nigerians that Peter Obi owed nothing, left no debt and was not owing any salaries, gratuities or pensions. I cannot say the same things today that I said about Peter Obi in 2023 because I now have more information'

rossipki: We used to hear about the nefarious activities of these Fulani herdsmen almost every single day, in the past.
What happened?
Where did they go?
I'm sure they have continued with their atrocities here and there, but it seems to have reduced substantially...
Now you rarely ever hear about them.
Kudos to the FG for suppressing their heinous, demonic activities.
Once the realized the push back has become massive, they retreated it into their shell. They have handlers planted in government. They are waiting for one of their kind like atiku to be in government again so they can start the carnage all over again like they did during buhari.
