AltMon3: Member of the Lagos State House Of Assembly Representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Honorable Sanai O. Agunbiade has added his voice to the statement of his colleague, Member representing Surulere Federal Constituency, Honorable Desmond Elliot, to condemn the negative impact of social media in the country.
Speaking in the house, Honorable Sanai, who disclosed recently that he intended sharing the looted COVID palliative hoarded in his house, on his birthday, said the social media influencers aggravated the destruction and looting by spreading false news stories in and out of the country. He called it a serious war against Lagos state as well as saying there was a lot of political undertone in the crises, masterminded by some people who must be fished out if Nigeria must remain one as his colleague earlier said.
Priscy01: Desmond Elliot has apologized for addressing the youths as 'Children' while making his submission during plenary at the Lagos state House of Assembly last week, Igbere TV reports.
In a viral video that captured the Surulere lawmaker's submission on the Lagos carnage, he addressed the youths as children and opined that social media was used to fuel the carnage.
Igbere TV reports that Nigerians on social media have been dragging him since for his comment.
In a statement he released on his Twitter handle today, the actor apologized for his choice of words during the deliberation. According to him, he did not mean to be insensitive.
tunday2020: This guy Abdulahi from Ede according to a Facebook post by Adabanija Qomarudeen Idowu Mayegun, went to steal a deep freezer at SRJ store,but unfortunately for him before he could come out from the store where he went to steal freezer,his motorcycle Bajaj had been stolen by another thief. The deep freezer had been recovered from him from his residence in Ede and he was left off the hook.
Henix: How can u go about searching people's homes without causing more chaos? The search for looted public items and money should start from the politicians' houses. Wicked and shameless people. Let them fix the economy, so that people can get employed and fed for themselves
This is one of the most useless governor in the entire country despite his prof title ooo.
PharmaGirl: Your opinion Reno. If that's what you believe, then its fine.
But remember, they didn't impregnate themselves.
So while you're giving reasons on why you won't help 'deliberate single moms', don't you think it'd be nice if you also preached to the men who impregnated them?
Tell them to carry their cross honorably. Tell them to provide for their kids so their kids' moms will stop running to your TL, begging for money.
I think he will do that when those men start hitting him up on his timeline for financial help.
For now I guess he's focusing on. Single mom seeking financial help .
The COO of a telecommunications company is essential the head of the technical division.
There is no way he would be the one to decide who should be employed as HR Manager...that responsibility rests with the CEO or subject to the approval of the Board of Directors!
Next time do your research properly when cooking up your stories
You are very right to an extent I have worked with some tech and infrastructure firm who sometimes doubled the position as CIO instead of COO (Chief operating officer) as Pointed out in the writeup.
In some cases they hold separate offices and sometimes CIO report to COO depends on the company hierarchy of structure.
Drhealer: Five, you people are bunch of pathetic greedy animals who don't give a hoot about the commoners. You rather wait till the imaginary bags of rice are delivered and watch the other food stuff expire or spoil than to disburse the items to those in dire need of them. The other states who had disbursed theirs aren't in the same country as you? May God punish every wicked politician keeping to themselves everything that rightfully belongs to us citizens. Karma shall visit you all soon. Stupid animals.
Don't mind them ,they are hoarding the items till election time and start bringing it out when it must have expired, bunch of thief.
We are our major problems in this country. Who's order is it for the whole region to keep food when people masses are hungry.
NO COVID-19 PALLIATIVES LEFT IN EKITI STATE, NO PALLIATIVES WAREHOUSE
The attention of the Government of Ekiti State has been drawn to plans by some hoodlums to storm some warehouses in the state under the guise of looking for Covid-19 palliatives believed to be stored in warehouses in the state.
The Government would like to state categorically that ALL palliatives donated to the state have been successfully distributed to various categories of residents including 16 Local Government areas in the State (collected by LG teams), Senior Citizens, Market Women, Various associations (Unions, women’s groups, artisans, etc),Youth groups, NGOs, Widows, Churches, Mosques, Landlord Associations, Community Leaders, Traditional Rulers, Transport Unions, State orphanages and special schools, Communities in Farmsteads, Security Officers and other vulnerable persons during the lockdown period.
These facts can be verified from all the beneficiary groups listed.
We therefore caution those involved in the plan to desist from any attempt to invade any location under the guise of looking for COVID-19 palliatives in Ekiti State.
Government has a responsibility to protect citizens’ lives and property and will not condone any brigandage in any part of the state.
Signed: Mr Akinbowale Omole Honourable Commissioner for Information and Values Orientation
See staging na lie,he should show them the direction to the said warehouse so they can physically confirm.
Pmpm: Recent report reaching us at pmtv gist is that Nigeria Ambassador to Australia was mobbed by angry nigerians in Australia earlier today.
Due to recent Lekki Massacre, Nigerians have been attacking Nigeria politicians both home and abroad including the likes of ex governor of Lagos state, Bola Hammed Tinubu, his son Seyi Tinubu and also burning down of properties, police stations, local government properties and many more looted and burnt down.
Due to the recent Lekki attack on the protesters which goes viral recently, some groups of protesters in Australia attacks Nigeria Ambassador to Australia, he was saved by the Australia police.
we should have been doing this long time ago, the likes of Senegal and burkinafaso are known for this type of treatment to their looters in France anytime they visit.
Am expecting this to be replicated in other part of the world ,maybe they will receive sense.
This people has no iota of shame at all,To even get a Nigerian passport outside Nigeria is a war due to corruption.
Most of the career diplomats in foreign missions, civil servant in both federal and state levels, LGAs not left out, should be ready for things like this in the time come.
Nigerians are tired of this, the country is so blessed but bad leadership has been our problem.
They don't select people base on merit but either stupid federal character and nepotism are the order of the day.
lexio: It so sad and disheartening that the #EndSars protest has resulted in the loss of lives. My heart bleeds. The protests were largely peaceful. May God rest the souls of the departed and may their death never be in vain. Amen. For there to be a change in Nigeria, there must be a strategic takeover.
DIRECT CONFRONTATION IS OUTDATED Gone are the days when Babylon will just plunder Israel and take away their Captives. Gone are the days when Persia will in turn sack Babylon and lay it bare. Gone are the days when the Roman Empire ransacked Jerusalem and rendered Israel desolate. Gone are the days when Usman dan Fodio claimed territories in Nigeria without much confrontations.
We must learn from at least Adolf Hitler and Odumegwu Ojukwu that direct confrontation with a powerful enemy is outdated. Hitler was targeting the elite Jews who dominated the financial sector, who were extensively rich. They lived in opulence while many of the so-called true and pureblood Germans languished in poverty. When Hitler rose against them and their luxurious lifestyle as many of us are angry at our politicians and governance in Nigeria today, he gained tremendous support from many Germans who were depressed with their finances and blamed the Jews for scheming them out. However, he made a great mistake.
Hitler underestimated how powerful the elite Jews he was fighting were. He never knew that they control the governments of the world including the United States and almost all of Europe and Africa; he did not take into cognisance that the Jewish elites he was after funded both sides of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), that they control the media, the educational system and even the financial system of the world till date. These elites became wise after World War II and went under. You will never hear their name; they are never seen. J. P Morgan of the United States is an example of how smart these Jewish elites were even before Hitler’s so-called revolution. They used Morgan as a front. He was the one known not them. When Trump is talking of Deep State, he is referring to them. They control Wall Street. As it presently stands, no sitting American Government can overpower them.
IMPORTANT NOTE IN HISTORY What many people underestimate is how powerful the Nigerian political elites are. These persons have powerful political backing than meets the eye. Fighting them head-on is a grave mistake. Beloved Nigerians, the Berlin Conference of 1884–1885 was not a joke. Africa is a gold mine for the international powers. Do you think they will allow a power that be to edge them out of the vast resources contained in Africa? Ask Gadafi who was becoming a threat to them with his Pan-Africanism. They first became friends with him, made him surrender his nuclear weapons and then attacked him using his people. Has Libya recovered? Is it any better? No. Instead, their oil is been drilled by foreign powers as we speak. North Korea learnt from that and are holding to their nuclear arsenal. Again, ask the late Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe who confronted the white farmers directly and seized their land controlled by the Jewish elites of the world. They crippled his country’s economy.
Nnamdi Kanu has not in my opinion digested what he learnt from history. He tried to secede from Nigeria through direct confrontation but failed and continue to fail if he does not change strategy. He ought to have known that, through the support of international elites, stooges of the political elite have been placed in strategic positions in the army, Navy, Airforce, police, customs, immigration, the Port Authority, National Orientation, Electoral Commission etc. They are been strategic. Buhari was strategic when he aligned with Tinubu or else he would have lost the elections if he contested ten times. Check the systematic take over of Islam around the world including Nigeria. They come to your territory peacefully, co-habit peacefully and breed children uncontrollably to take your land in years to come. Why? These days, their hosts only give birth to one or three children and they are done. It is only a matter of time before a bloodless take over of their land will ensue. If the inhabitants complain by then, the majority of the visitors will be ready for war. The wise thing to do then, of course, will be to consider Luke 14:31 of the Christian bible.
THE NIGERIAN TAKE OVER We must learn from someone like Julius Malema who is currently the President of the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa. Malema is intelligent, articulate and fearless but he never allowed that to get into his head. He wants a change in South Africa because as it stands, the whites, the Jewish elites still control the country’s resources. The Black Presidents are just stooges. If Malema starts a confrontational revolution, he will be dead in no time. He simply became strategic. He formed a political party and now he and his members have seats in the South African legislature where their voices can be heard even though they do not form the majority. What should we do in Nigeria?
First, make a flash peaceful protest about electoral reforms to the National assembly. Let the peaceful protest be there and at some strategic areas of keen government interests. Our voting system must change and become in such a way that it becomes very difficult to rig. It should be digital at least for the South that is well developed. If the Cashless Policy has been implemented in developed cities of Nigeria, why can’t voting be digital in developed cities? The worst-case scenario is that powerful elites will rig elections in less developed areas but will have the southern states and metropolitan cities to contend with because these votes will count. Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is forced to come to dialogue because of a very strong and coordinated opposition who oppose because of an electoral system that works. When signs of political thugs taking over the protest, quickly call it off. Then resume at a later time.
Second form a Political Party of young Nigerians. You see the way the #EndSars protesters were mobilized at the consternation of the sitting government, so should be the membership of the Political Party be mobilized nationally. Tinubu held on to Action Congress with his last breath in Lagos and expanded it to the other South-Western States. He was simply strategic. One person who would have done something Similar was Rochas Okorocha. He had a cult followership but betrayed them. The South-East would have been a formidable voting Block by now if he did not end up a scam. The Easterners really loved him. Form a Political Party.
Third, make sure mobilization is made for members to vote and ensure that all Senate and House of Representatives seats in their jurisdictions are won. These strategies will take time but are sure to bring a better result. As long as the current legislators are stooges to the corrupt elite, NO CHANGE WILL HAPPEN. As the protest is raging on, they are busy trying to pass a bill from stopping any court from sacking a sitting governor or president. Imagine having a strong opposition with many seats in the legislature, surely this bill will not pass unless they sell their souls and collect bribes to look the other way. Lest I forget, NEVER FOR ONCE THINK THAT A PARTY CAN EXIST WITHOUT A GOD-FATHER. Such reality does not exist. The god-father/Mother must share your dream of a better Nigeria and outline political steps to be taken. In short, YOU NEED A LEADER. Never forget that the mob is not always right. The leader must be wise and learn to stay hidden or else, the incumbent political elite will come for him or her.
SUMMARY Target electoral reforms in the legislature. Form a Political Party and vote massively for members to occupy seats. Then change can start from there. It will take years. If we rely on this crop of political elites to make the changes we seek, we are simply living in a Utopian world. If they are attacked directly, they will fight back brutally especially when the international community favours a particular set of persons. Let us learn from Sudan, Somalia, DRC and other African Countries. Remember Syria? Has Bashar al-Assad been dethroned after killing his people? No. He has Russian backing. Stop relying on the international community. They do not have our time. The Berlin Conference was not a joke. Do you think it is a mistake that no African Country has a nuclear arsenal to defend itself? They will just nuke us if we show ourself too much. Please youths and youth organizers, strategy is the key. The political elites are not dumb, they will crush you if you threaten them directly and nothing will happen. Yes! I mean it. These are just my thoughts. I hope I made some sense.
tammie24: One thing people need to realize is that the person we think is buhari doesn't exist If Aso Rock is raided today and they are looking for buhari Even the guy posing as buhari will take off his mask and will follow them to be looking for buhahi
What we should focus on is who are the people giving orders Who are the spokesmen Who is really presidency
Focus on attorney General malami Service chiefs What's left of the cabals
Buhari is just an illusion!
God bless you this is the question am expecting from an average Nigerian to ask, I thought i was the only one thinking about it
bolaayenimo: Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Thursday said he called President Muhammadu Buhari, to inform him of the killings of #ENDSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, by the Nigerian Army on Tuesday, but was told he was not available.
"I made calls to the President twice yesterday but was told he wasn’t in the office. The second time he was said to be at the FEC meeting; I haven’t spoke to him directly but I have reached the Chief of Staff to the President”, he said in an interview with Arise TV.
When asked to explain why CCTV at Lekki Toll Gate was removed before the dastardly act, he said:
“The cameras removed were not security cameras, it is a laser camera for cars; it picks tags for cars and plate numbers; it is not a security camera; it is an infrared camera; security cameras are still available and that is what we are using for our own investigation.
1.You called the president and he was said not to be around like as if he was a baby na fat lie
2. As a learned person an a sitting GOV that you are,is it that time when things were tensed you guys should send people to remove the cameras?how much are those cameras that the state could not afford to replace even at all they are destroyed.
Am not in support of anything bad but my curiosity wont let me be cos this people keep thinking we are all dump.
ladywealth: Good evening my NL guys. I just met a guy last month ending, we exchanged numbers and started chatting. He asked me out.. I really enjoyed chatting with him, just him alone. so few days after, he invited me to his house. I declined but I noticed that he stopped chatting with me. Few days after, he asked about my genotype without even greeting me. I counter questioned him and he attacked me, claiming that he is not happy with me. i replied that 'I don't care'. The next thing I received was rains of insults. Saying that I insulted him. I admitted and we settled it. for the short times I've known him, I could see the kind of qualities I want in a man. But the problem he has and that he attested to is verbal abuse... I noticed that anytime he invites me to his house and I declined, it always piss him off and he stops talking to me. I decided not to visit him because it's not safe for me. he argue over little things on chat, he talks to me like I'm a baby ( he is 33 and I'm 22). he is domineering... I'm just confused on the decision to date him considering all these flaws. I am suspicious of him being violent. thanks
You already see all the red flag now and you wont back down, only because of your particular interest in something only you saw while with him but we here don't see.
Don't come back here later and share story that touches oooo
I'm a 57 y. o. African American planning to travel to Lagos in February 2021 for 10 days only if Covid doesn't keep us on lockdown until then. I had plans to meet someone there, but those plans fell through. I have already bought my tickets, and really want to try and salvage this trip. I plan to travel there alone, and I'm looking for someone to be a tour guide to take me site seeing, wining and dining and other social activities.
I am an antisocial introvert and I have very few friends. I am tired of being in my shell and I hope I can get a extrovert companion to spend time with. When I travel, I usually travel alone. I will probably just take a loss on my ticket, if I don't find someone that can take me around Lagos.
I planned to rent a Airbnb on Lekki Phase I, but for now I'm open to other suggestions.
Any one who is interested should kindly send a DM but please follow the listed criteria below please:
• Have a car for mobility • Have a job/business or hustle (be independent) - I am willing to pay for any events we participate in. But I'm working class American, so not looking for anything too extravagant. I prefer to do things average Nigerians do. I'm not looking to big ball with all your friends and girlfriends in Nigeria and foot the bill. So, I will be scrutinizing thoroughly anyone willing to take on this assignment. I'm not coming there to be anyone's sugar mama, I still have bills to pay at home even when I'm on vacation, and I mostly live paycheck to paycheck. Sorry to be harsh on this note, but I'm only willing to do my fair share to help someone when they are helping themselves. I have travelled to other countries in Africa without fear. I'm hoping Nigeria will not disappoint me also. • Be kind-hearted • Be willing to be my friend, companion, exercise buddy, travel buddy, partner, date buddy, cinema buddy, etc • Be kind to people and don't be wicked • Teach me how to be a bit social
I just want someone to spend time with, with no bad intentions or intent to harm.
Please reach out to the embassy in Lagos before you undertake anything like that for now,.
They will be in better position to guide you properly as to how you can go about your journey without any hassle.
I don't want you to come back with any stories that touches later.
