Pepperdemisback: The eldest idiot in my useless and miserable mother 's family which is Pepperdemisback we be mumu , if we always mention these things without emphasizing on the basics , who told you they didn't pray with kolanuts , bitterkola or Schinnap or even Bible before embarking on the journey!? Yes we also believe in the spiritual but the basics is the norm because God is not against you doing the basic thing! Common! What sort of idiotic mentality is this !? You wan travel you drink yourself to stupor and you mount the steering and you are telling me you prayed with bitterkola? Be real!
Pepperdemisback: Go to any River side, that's the tradition there, did you see the Chief Priest chanting on him? Did you see the video where the community chased the corpse to the hospital and the Doctor had to lock it up? Seyi Tinubu can't go on a River, without a live jacket, take that to the bank.
Just accept this to your conscience today.... Some powerful personalities or conditions can sweep this so called tradition in to the dustbin , when they are confronted or affected by them. In the south east, one educated and power lady "threw into the dustbin" all this death/burial ritual that was proposed against her....and some other situations like that ... The government of some south eastern states have abolished and modify some of the awkward and backward rituals they used to do on women after their husbands' death....so all these things are not untouchable, it depends. Africans , a lot of time , nothing is chasing us , we are just chasing ourselves with dark mentality..... Even if Seyi Tinubu and other "big" personalities will use life jackets, they are human and can still find themselves in some situations ( I don't wish them bad anyway) which require urgency.
geoworldedu: So we already have them, wow. Then what are you doing? Help to promote those stuffs na. You might be saving a soul.
And who told you , Iam not doing so? People can get help they want on social media , if they are not only interested in shenanigans and don't skip pass quality information.
DrAkpamudehe: God saved him and allowed the others to die? You are a disgrace to humanity
He was focused , not distracted, he held on to ropes , and other physical cautiousness while on board....if you like pour fanta and sardines , some safety measures are needed if you are making such a journey and you can't just rely on one fetish thing.
newdawn2017: I dare u, go speak this way in front of any body of living water. ( Not stagnst water in ur backyard , but one that has currently & flows)
geoworldedu: Skitmakers do what sells. People will just scroll past a CPR video
There are still sensible posts on social media ....there is this guy who explain physics and other science subjects in pidgin and also there are doctor pages they have massive followers, so don't pollute the space further with your comment.
GreatOchuks: Yeah they can be Charged but no Court can convict them for Manslaughter.
It was an accident and their action allegedly leading to their deaths is too remote to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt .
The victims also owed themselves a duty of care to wear their life jackets and ride the boat gently without over speeding and getting distracted by doing videos
"They can be charged but no judge can convict them" Are you the judge? The way lawyers argue from both sides determine the decision of the judge as well ....so you can't sit down in one corner or in one small room and make premature statement by saying they can't be convicted for negligence....at least.
Kobe Bryant family got justice after their litigation, and the family of the man with wigwe on board has also filed a law suit against the company that flew wigwe and co....
They must get answers or clarifications as to whether all the necessary precautions were taken before they paddled those people off into their untimely death. If they so wish.
God is not against science, He is the grand - author of science, omniscience.....some ignorant ones always feel if you are scientific, automatically you are against God as if God and Science must be mutually exclusive.
bitbillionaire: Did you just said the guy sound stupid? The guy is more spiritually intelligent than you even though you may more educated.
Of course, it's God that saved him but the question you should ask yourself is: why didn't God save others that died? Because obviously they didn't do what he did. They were not as spiritually aware as he is.
Nonsense!
Have you forgotten, he also mentioned some other physical situations he benefited from at the time of this issue...like being focus, the rope and so on ....why did he have to mention those ones too and not only fanta? Always take safety precautions before such journey and forget minor issues.
Dozman88: Junior pope lost his own life due to ignorant of African believe..you can't be inside the water and using camera inside it without a permission from the water .it's as if he used a light to the water eyes..remember one particular building in Lagos had a glass shining towards d beach and turbulence was much then until they were adviced to deem the glass and since then no issues again...that river has history of the marine world...he was just doing all to pull stunt to his IG putting his life and other innocent once at stake...am sorry pls I can't say rest in peace to him...he needs to respect African culture...enter the boat to your location and back forget social media when u are on top of the water...
Balderdash!
Is he the first person to use camera on the water?
So many coverage of such people on the water.
If you want to embark on such journey, take precautions, do the basics life jackets, focused - sailing no overloading, no unnecessary over speeding..... before you mention one issue or the other.
Pepperdemisback: It is the tradition at most River side, you can't take away a drowned person away from the River side, they might not even release the corpse. They are buried at the River side. He was not allowed to go for first aid and medicals. They asked them to go and make Sacrifice to the River Goddess. That's why he died. No medical team, no life jacket at a River as Big as that, untop of how much? Always do consultation before invading people's territories. Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar!
Sensible government must not hear this thrash you mentioned above, if it's Seyi Tinubu or Dangote 's daughter or the child of Delta state governor, they will denied them the quick first aid and detained them for rituals.!?......they 'd better get sense!
Juliusganduje: As an Igbo man nay African, there are some unwritten rules that one should know and apply in some certain places. Praying with a kola nut before embarking on that ill fated journey might have saved him. But some are claiming woke and disregard most of these things.
You be mumu , if you always mention these things without emphasizing on the basics , who told you they didn't pray with kolanuts , bitterkola or Schinnap or even Bible before embarking on the journey!? Yes we also believe in the spiritual but the basics is the norm because God is not against you doing the basic thing! Common! What sort of idiotic mentality is this !? You wan travel you drink yourself to stupor and you mount the steering and you are telling me you prayed with bitterkola? Be real!
Juliusganduje: I don't joke with all these things. We are still in our ancestral African land. Wherever I'm, I give to Caesar what is to Caesar. People who are claiming woke are deceiving themselves. White men brainwashed them no be small. Same white men are still practicing their own culture. The burial of queen Elizabeth opened my eyes to their hypocrisy. What was the goat that was in front marching with them for? Why were the men wearing skirt and blouse? It is only Africans that threw away their religion and culture. Asians accepted civilization from the west but retained their religion and culture. Africa rejected civilization and accepted the white man religion.
The issue is your religion, traditional and what have you is personal to you especially if it works for you. Common! Going to church alone as an educated person still tells you the belief in the supernatural being, but what reasonable people are saying here is there is a place of stupidity and a place of religion?
You want to embark on a journey on the sea.... No life jackets, your boat/ship are not in proper condition e.t.c then you pour fanta and you say you give mummy water 10k... continue to do that without doing the right thing... let's see how long you will go.
We have to be reasonable, all must work together...a place of spiritualism and a place of pragmatism...
If you are traveling by road, check your oil gauge, carburetor, radiator, clutch , brake pedal....e.t.c that's sensible first and you can also offer your prayer to the gods you believe in......but idiots neglect the essential and physical basics and cling to what is abstract , that's madness ...utter stupidity, lack of enlightenment.
wolebest: Very funny write up.......................
Talking as if most Nigerians know their left from their right ..............
The only places where there is semblance of sanity in the system are the cities but go to the inter land, most Nigerians are still backward and fetish.
There is general lack of basic infrastructure for sustainable living despite the connected world we live in.
Who is going to wake us up from the self inflicted slumber?
Funny write up as how!? and what are you saying?
Someone emphasized that a lot of Nigerians are still dumb, highly ignorant people who don't know their left from their right....that is exactly what you re - echoed...he is not ignorant of the unenlightened statuses of many Nigerians and he called for change and improvement on the part of people and also government...... but you called it funny..if someone calls the attention of people/government to where there should be a change, is it not better than you who keep quiet in your pessimism and hopelessness?
CaptainFM1: Basic First Aid should be introduced as a subject in Secondary School.
We also hope, majority of the people to acquire this knowledge are present in school , educated and informed ....not those ignoramuses who took a dying man to mortuary and then come back again to perform rituals beside the water, without doctor's effort, report or confirmation.
Britishpea: You were making sense until the last part. Nigeria didn’t fail him but Nigerians failed him. Nigerians youths who happen to be unintelligently loud with no deep education about life generally but are quick to come on social media to flood the pages of unconfirmed villain to attack them, who use all avenue to attack Nigeria without rational thinking, just like you, who happen to be the most senseless and busy bodies among all youths in Africa, took him to the mortuary , without first Aid cpr, and then took him to a ritualist, failed him. He also failed himself by not asking for life jacket as an A list actor. He was supposed to stand his ground that he was not going anywhere without a life jacket.
If the youths like you had taken him to the hospital first, instead of the mortuary and then ritualist , a high chance is available for him ti survive.
Again, you are the Nigeria. Nigeria is a space but you make the country. So what do people who make up the country do to help Junior? They helped kill him further. Grow up in your head not your body size.
Correctly, anyone who think people leave Nigeria just because of money is sick
I love you Britishpea, you are so enlightened. You expressed my mind. Very ignorant and careless set of people.
derecho: All these pipu think Nigerians are stupid. How can you "lead" what you don't believe in?
It doesn't matter if they believe in it or not , are they not human beings, don't they have kids who go to school or wives who go to markets e.t.c although they are not supposed to be partisan or rebellious due to the nature of their job but in this case they are just acting as a guide to prevent spill over into something else not that they want to emphasize they believe in the protest.
fabolouz1: How is this supposed to be news and to warrant a front page?
So news related to education, record matriculation is no good news and news should come in the same form? Or the news like "one man used his daughter's head for ritual" , "one man burnt to death" is the type of news you like ? Ok then.
obedience4: Shameful behaviour by the airman He should be investigate if he has been radicalised by terrorist elements
He is a disgrace to the service and oath he sworn to protect.
Protests in any form against American decisions or sentiment/politics is not unusual in the states , there is no "investigation for radicalization" here, some scholars, opinion moulders ,members of the parliament , politicians and some government officials in general are opposed to what they call genocide in Gaza.
DryMouth: Good! So are you blaming the BDCs or CBN?
The message was clear enough, CBN should raise the bar of check and balance, because if banks are not messing up , the BDCs will run out of oxygen or relevance. They are the ones who supply the BDCs indiscriminately.
DryMouth: And what you ignorant folks don't know about this import business is that the limit an importer can get from CBN is $10,000 and there is a very long queue and bribery going on before it will get to your turn to access the $10,000. The $10,000 is not even enough so import the needed products so importers buy more USD from the black market, pay into their dorm acct and send it to their clients abroad. And as long as importers can't walk into a bank and buy USD, black market business will continue to flourish
The corrupt and ignorant ones should also realize Dollars are released to banks on frequent basis but corruption within the sector is the cause of artificial scarcity , the dollar is meant for some people unlike local currency that anyone can just walk in and cash out , they sell these currencies out en masse and travelers or business men find it difficult to access what is released to the banks on frequent basis. The CBN should be more thorough and sincere in regulating selling out of excess dollars to black marketers even if they will increase their limit.
pandoragirigory: Anything that will cripple criminals is acceptable
Are Bankers 🏦 not culprits themselves!? When Dollar is meant for citizens they sell it en mass for abokis in higher price , you go there for forex for travelings or business they say it's not available, the inevitable is just making them to speak out now , now acting as if they are ignorant of these challenges , they have their aboki customers they empty dollar to at inflated price for gains.
nnamdi640: All this your long story doesn't show that you really care about the indigene of the state, because if you really do, you would have been fighting for it long time ago but rather you waited till now.
babydioku: Abuja should also make laws to protect indegenes, even oil exploration communities in niger delta should make laws to protect indegenes lands and protect indegenes jobs in oil companies
F.C.T minister should help them do it, but it's going to be like weak erection that can't penetrate pussilicious - vagina unlike what is obtainable in the states, hard - dick penetration because the state is empowered.
ginggerxy: In as much as other people from other states have ruled they still allow the indegenes to take their rightful position. It's even a point of debate to wether there's actually indegeous lagosians or everybody came and occupied an empty land?
If others can come from other states to govern in Enugu and Ebonyi, states that are not as sophisticated or complex as Lagos , where you probably know who is who comparatively, then what's the surprise that other Yorubas (who were even born in Lagos) governing Lagos?
And talking about Lagos indegenes, no one is preventing them, they occupy other political positions and true indigenes shall govern Lagos to stupor , just calm and see, on the way .
