Peter obi won't be happy since their wasn't death in the incident. OBI no need for any condolences visit

Na wa o! What has Peter Obi got to do with this? Is Peter Obi all you ever think and talk about? Like is that all you lots do for a living?! 🤔

These miscreants and thugs in political cloaks, including the likes Tenebe (or whatever his name is) of Edo APC should be taught serious lessons if we’re really serious. For all you know, these are the sponsors of banditry and other vices, turning politics into war.

I'm in Johor Baru Malaysia, I work as a supervisor with my Chinese Boss. It's getting a bit tough again, because they are approaching their own national election season. So,the idea is to clear up illegal immigrants mostly the Indonesians and Indians.
These two nationalities are capable of infiltrating the system and be used to commit election fraud.
The immigration department are raiding every corner of the country.

No matter how life has turned out to be fair to me in this country,I will never advise anyone to come here for whatever reason. It's a great country,very peaceful and coordinated people.
But, as an African you don't have any business here at all. If you want to come over for business that should be fine and make sure leave when you are done.
You can also come here if you are working as an expertriat. No other reason to be here.
Singapore is the worst.

You summarized it really well here. Malaysia is one of the best countries to VISIT (note the visit in caps). If you also get an expatriate opportunity; fantastic, as the cost of living is relatively lower than a lot of countries with the kind of amenities that abound in the country (still wondering why it’s categorized as a third world country). Their transport, healthcare, hospitality, etc very affordable. However, it’s not an ideal japa destination at all; not even for students.

The system is not structured to allow hustling foreigners, especially Africans to fit in and make a (good) living. Imagine not being able to do something as common as taxi driving. You will see trends of African students depending on stipends from home, practically asking for help whenever they see say a fellow African that is probably working, or worst still some resorting to crime. Like op described, they’re mostly living in constant fear and hiding. Searched a Nigerian restaurant at a time to satisfy my cravings and the owner would almost not give us directions until he confirmed I was a Nigerian coming with a non-security personnel to eat Nigerian meal.

Overall, one of the best, peaceful, simple and cheap countries to live in. In fact, it endeared me towards visiting more Asian countries, and they are very good vacation destinations; again, not for japa!

A white guy hails Fela but some people up there are already sounding tribalistic.....

Exactly! Even Fela himself will be wondering how the whole discourse triggered this tribalistic bigotry! Some people just need to grow up!

If there's anything like DISLIKE key on Nairaland which I think I was the first person who started demanding for it since 2016,, just as you have 2 Likes now, you would have gotten 200 Dislikes for your position on the topic. These people deserves no sympathy from any living being.

I look forward to it. Peace ✌️

Keep quiet there. Your eye service is too much abeg

Well keep up the hate if it helps you feel good!

When will NL have thumbs down 👎 button? Happenings down south of Africa have been terrible lately, but some of the inhumane comments here are even more disgusting! 🤦🏽‍♂️. RIP to the death and speedy recovery to the injured

Kokaine:
This is what we should do to NDC and the rest. If they don't want to have sense we force it down their throats.

They should be banned from all these nonsense interviews they're making online and mama p and her cohort should be jailed

Just imagine this mindset in a supposed democracy 🤔. The kind of mindset used to turn our elections to a do-or-die!

Yes it is possible. My mum makes 100 million in a month by selling only akara, when she added bread and akamu she made over 500 million. There is money in the business.

Take it easy bro! 😎

Nah wa o! This is crazy! Just imagining those earning paltry sums in salaries. Called a cousin who stays at Gbagada but works at Ilupeju. She was telling me how it costs between 60-70k in transport now per month on top 100k salary wey no dey even complete.

At this rate, one is tempted to support Atiku’s position on fuel subsidy removal. Because how else do the ordinary people benefit from the government? No jobs! And the peanuts a few earn all go into transport fare, fueling generators, etc.

Countries like Malaysia continue to subsidize fuel costs. In fact, it completely shields its citizens from the war induced global petroleum price increases. That’s because fuel is a necessity that directly and indirectly affects the costs of virtually everything else in the economy. So, the people feel the impacts of the fuel price changes directly, and base their assessment of the government’s performance on such indices.

The only benefit the Nigerian government seems to always masturbate with is how FAAC allocations to the various levels of government have increased with the subsidy removal. Please how has that really translated to bettering the livelihood of ordinary people? Just more money available to the corrupt politicians!

Imagine this
An NFF that failed in all its assignment
Men didn't go to world cup
Women didn't go to world cup
The U17, U20 etc didn't qualify
The league is in shambles

And you want to remain in office to do what?

All Nigerians support this government interference

If FIFA what to ban is , let them ban us after all where we dey go.

100 agreed. We cannot continue to fan the flames of mediocrity and incompetence! I don’t expect FIFA to shield this incompetence either!

“…winning at all costs “. Hear illustrations of how federal government gets involved! Just see our brand of democracy; smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

Very well said! The likes of “Akpako” and their miscreants should sit their butts down in their various states which are in dire need of governance!

sajb:
Very well said. I guess you're Catholic

Yes I am a proud Catholic 🙏

Based on human logic and very importantly the word of God, all sins do not seem to be same. Psalm 130:3 says “If you oh Lord should mark out guilt, who will survive?”. This is an indication that there’s practically no one without some iota of guilt, hence it’s only by God’s mercy that man can make it to heaven. I believe God’s mercy in this case will be driven by the gravity of the sins, otherwise who can be saved (since nothing unclean can see God - Rev 21:27). There are many other scriptures that support the gravitation of sins:

John 19:11: Jesus tells Pontius Pilate, "The one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin," explicitly acknowledging a distinction in moral gravity between individuals.

Luke 12:47–48: In the parable of the faithful and unfaithful servant, Jesus notes that the servant who knew his master's will and did not prepare will receive a severe beating, while the one who did not know will receive a light beating, showing a gradient of accountability.

Matthew 11:22–24: Jesus states that it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom on the day of judgment than for the city of Capernaum, implying varying levels of retributive seriousness based on rejection of truth.

1 John 5:16–17: The Apostle differentiates between a "sin that leads to death" and a sin "that does not lead to death," supporting the traditional theological division between mortal/severe and lesser faults.

In fact, the above and many others suggest certain sins will need to be purged for one to enter heaven:

Matthew 12:32: Jesus says that speaking against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven "either in this age or in the age to come," which can be viewed as an implication that certain lesser sins can be absolved or purged in the afterlife.

Matthew 5:25–26: Jesus advises settling with an opponent quickly lest you be thrown into prison, adding "truth I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the very last penny," symbolizing that certain sins can go through purification for one to be saved.

Can go on and on. But summary is that all sins are obviously not the same. In our human interactions for instance, there are times you may lie to save someone’s life. Is the act of lying in this case not a sin? But can it be placed in same bucket as the sin of the murderer who was lied to to save another’s life? Someone already alluded to crimes attracting varying legal consequences; that’s same with sins before God.

Generally okay. But how does the government really regulate rentals considering the many variables involved (e.g. locations, costs which vary by individuals, locations and quality of materials used, general inflation, costs of borrowing, demand and supply, etc)?

Beautifulday:
When you see them kill them. How does that translate to kill them with votes.

Exactly. He used continuous tense. Will the election continue every time the Accord members are seen so as to be so called “killed with votes”?

It’s the Tinubu insignia cap for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You go fear dividend of democracy nah!!!! 😂

High, uncontrolled population growth in Nigeria seems to cause more problems than good (e.g. poverty, illiteracy and terrorism). It really needs to be curtailed.

This is clearly a case of some overzealous individuals trying to impress the President and be in his good book. Want to be told: “o boy if no be dey shege wey you show them, this election for no easy for us o!”. Now the gamble has backfired!

helinues:
The right question would have been

Are the Bishops expecting handouts from the presidency towards the 2027 election as that used to be norm in every election circle .

What have they been complaining about that is Alien to average Nigerians? The electricity, the security or what? Did those problems start in 2023?

The mistake all those religion groups will be making is we have no business with you but Nigerians. We have been seeing all the efforts of this government in almost every sectors.

And if they are expecting over 3 decades rots to be solved in less than 4 years, then that's unseriousness from their part

This line: “did it start in 2023?” continues to be regurgitated. Then the real questions are:
- did the Tinubu’s government come to power to continue to regurgitate same excuses of past governments?
- if the problems are still there like you have subtly agreed, is that not enough reason for them to be further discussed?
- Was the immediate past government not an APC led government (which was equally praised by the APC folks at the time for “good job”)?
- is the party selling same “…it didn’t start from 2023” excuses to Nigerians for reelection in 2027?

I personally think it’s a wrong wish…

Obviously an absconding situation. Unfortunately, these are the kind of practices that make some of countries subject African countries to embarrassingly stringent visa and immigration policies. Just very wrong!

Firstly, is this legal? However, even if it’s illegal, a rational business would want to avoid the currency risk arising from the trade imbalance.

Secondly, what’s the government’s plan to attaining domestic reliance on petroleum product availability and consumption? Given that our economy revolves so much around petroleum products, I expect the government to consciously work towards achieving almost 100% domestic reliance.

Thirdly, is this a bid to make good the USD-based dividend model for proposed listing?

BetterScottish:
would you say a malfunctioning bot or too much diazalpam drugs? One of the two sha 🤷‍♂️

Abi o! 😂

Richtaiwo:
In other news, I heard someone took his trademark rascality all the way to the airport, only to later claim that the government was after his life.

Rumour also has it that he was fined 25k for the unruly conduct. Has he finally paid the fine himself, or did his ever-loyal followers come to his rescue? Last I heard, the private airport firm in charge of that section is still patiently waiting for him to show up and settle the bill. So much for all the noise.

You posted a news worthy of celebration and you are derailing it yourself into an unrelated matters. Haba!

michael132:
My problem here is that it is in north... . hope they can secure it in future....

Honestly the north is where it should be. The north has vast land that is largely untapped for industrial and economic development. We need to diversify the industrial footprints across the country as much as possible to ensure growth across the country and avoid over reliance on Lagos or Abuja FAAC (with the attendant challenges of overpopulation and extremely high cost of living).

Major challenge still remains insecurity. Like someone mentioned. If only the government can tackle insecurity, provide constant, reliable affordable power and other basic infrastructure, everything else will take care of itself and our country will begin to experience real growth and development.

Afi hypocrisy nitooto
Firstly, the you restricted the identity of being a Muslim to the North maybe to reassure yourself that no one of your tribe or your geography falls within your bias. The school in question is in the southwest, in the campus of University of Ibadan therefore your "wish that the "NORTH" fights illiteracy, poverty, uncontrolled birth rates and extremism like they do with matters like this" does not follow. Those fighting for the constitutionally guaranteed rights are south western Muslims. Besides, indidual regions and Nigeria as a whole have attendants problems and fighting for a right does not incapacitate the region from attending to its problems.

Secondly, your claim that hijab does not stop promiscuity does cannot hold water because in the first instance, the claim is a sweeping generalization and it is just like arguing that every woman who does not cover her head is promoting promiscuity! Imagine how stupid that sounds. The hijab Muslims wear is not to impress you to have a particular notion about them. It is about their Lord and believes.

Further, you are not the only one to have lived in Malaysia. How does the hijab worn by children to school in Nigeria attach to extremism in a way that same worn to school by children in Malaysia does not? How is the hijab worn in Malaysia beautiful than the one in Nigeria? There are two problems here. One, your subservient mentality where you feel people of other skin color are above you and therefore you can (must) easily water down your hatred in a way that whatever they do easily appears beautiful to you. Parents as you takes their wards to public schools in Malaysia where children of differing background and faiths meet without anyone complaining of the choice of hijab! I bet you will even send your children to such school in Malaysia without battling an eyelid!

If you are attending a faith based school or private school, no one will contest with you but in a public school, we are all of this country and no one will be bullied from exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right!

Muslims in Nigeria have had to put up with a lot of things and yet are still the one being labeled intolerant. As a child on secondary school, I was theatrically forced to accept a small Bible on the assembly ground despite that the private school is majority Muslim. Imagine your Christian child bring a quran home from school! Can you imagine the hell that will raise. We are the one that will have to tolerate your ranting in the public bus all in the name of prayer and preaching and all.

Stop the Hatred! A piece of clothing over the head of a child does not affect your life. Or are you that perverted to crave the hair on the head of a child so much?

Stop being an hypocrite!

My point still remains: we should direct this energy towards fighting extreme indoctrination, poverty, illiteracy, fighting corruption, etc whether in or outside the north. The world is focused on technically advancements and the future. So please let’s focus on more important things.

The hypocrisy around this whole hijab thing is nauseating honestly. I wish the North fights illiteracy, poverty, uncontrolled birth rates and extremism like they do with matters like this.

Have lived in the North for a very long time and served there - hijab doesn’t stop promiscuity. I have also lived in majority moslem country like Malaysia; the hijab worn here are rather beautiful and no extremism attached to that. Parents (including expats) take their wards to schools that align with their beliefs.

If you attended Catholic schools, you’ll need to join in the many prayers sessions and so on because that’s what they are - Catholic schools. As a Catholic, I enrolled in program organized by a Pentecostal church - I attended the monthly church services required as part of the curriculum otherwise I wouldn’t graduate. So it’s not difficult - simply take your wards to schools that align with your beliefs. If a Christian decides to take his/her child to an Islamic school, then the child has to be ready to wear the uniform including hijab.

I read comments like: “it’s their choice…”. The truth is that it’s rather the choice of their parents and others behind them, not their choice. A lot of them ‘envy’ the ‘freedom and fresh air’ enjoyed by their peers who don’t wear this extra garment, but there are unimaginable consequences if they try otherwise.

Good judgement!

Reading some comments here that categorize the money she received as also vote buying/selling; how? How does receiving N1m after the election (as appreciation for good civic conduct) change the election results? A past consideration is not a consideration!
