violent: Go marry your money!

LMAO. This is even more violent and legendary.

Here is a question for those still searching for jobs - are you doing something on the side? Are you also trying to improve yourself in anyway to be more attractive to employers? And finally, are you also looking at ways you can possibly employ yourself?

2buff: ^^ You need to leave your village in naija first to understand what the OP is saying.

She wants an available Naija bros who can hold his own, and these things are hard to find when you leave naija both for male and female.
If she was in naija, she wouldn't have a problem. Truss me, it ain't fun looking specifically for naija luv in a place where everyone is pretty much white.
In naija you have no need for that criteria, because everyone is a nigerian.

Ode. Na you be the first for ya family to travel abroad abi? So if person dey find husband, na here dem dey come place advert? She no get family, friends, nada? Please get real.

xyoung: When I flash back, I remb many strange things I did out of desperation to get a job
1..Walking the whole of transamadi industrial layout with 100 copies of my CV
2..Entering overnight bus from lagos and phc for an apt test; the bus broke down in alele wit 1hour b4 d start of the test
3..Walking the whole of adeola odeku/ikoyi with 50 CV
4..Did some gatecrashing
Mehn I really hustled
How did yours go??

Believe it or not, these so called "crazy" things are done by job seekers EVEN in the United States (both physically and online). Nothing special. I must have sent at least 100,000 copies of my resume over a year period when I just got to the US (yes the economy was that hard and I had to find a side job while I searched for the job fitting my skill-sets). And I knew I wasn't the only one - a dude who got there ahead of me by at least 5 years said he had to do the same. Most good things don't come easy: if it does come easy, watch out for the catch.

What part of "you are not fine" don't you get? That's why you are "financially stable" and cannot find a man: you are not "physically stable".

Demdem: IMO, this is purely a Otedollar operation initially and the SSS was put in the picture

This too is stating the obvious. What does the fact that he informed the SSS mean to you?

If you are trying to claim that he informed the SSS after the fact, then use a bit of logic and explain the point at which the marked dollar bills came into the picture. Could he have gotten marked bills from the SSS if they had not been involved before the whole saga was captured on audio and video? Or could he have gotten the bills after the recording? Which makes more sense?

The only thing you can then claim is that there were no marked bills; which I suspect would have been debunked by the SSS if they didn't indeed provide.

alexola20: The Farouk and Otedola thing is really a distraction.What happened with the trillion naira lost in oil subsidy and who are the culprits?
This is all a game!sorry for 9ja.all man ll eventually "ja" to '9" when the time comes.

You are stating the obvious here. But who is to blame for Farouk trying to extort a bribe in the first place? Unfortunately he has put the probe into disrepute.

Demdem: i doubt this also my bro. if truly is a string operation by SSS, gadgets used and recordings are owned by the SSS. Why should a private individual demand copies? is this how its being done? is that the normal standard practice? if he doesnt trust the SSS in the first place then why calling them to rescue him from farook's alleged blackmail. Why does he just go ahead and make the copies himsef without involving the SSS? he could have done that and i am sure it will be admissable in the law court.

You are assuming too much here. Even if the SSS provided the gadgets (which I doubt), Otedola is very much entitled to copies since this was basically HIS operation (as he reported to the SSS in the first place). And if he provided the gadgets, SSS would simply have provided him with instructions on how to conduct himself, and just maybe help with the installation of the gadgets. In either case, Otedola would get copies of audio and video.

Demdem: basically, my president the retardeen is an accomplice. Wonderful.

Like I said, I believe they are trying to treat this thing as a PDP family squabble. We all know the entire country in entirely sunk in the cesspit of corruption. It will take nothing short of a revolutionary event to pull us out.

Demdem: if these "powers" are holding my own president (in charge of these security agents) the retardeen on his balls then i can confidently say that Otedola isnt being truthful completely either the same way farook seems not to.

And who says your president is not one of those powers? You think when we talk about "powers that be" the president is excluded? Dude!

donigspain: @Demdem, Yes, my line of argument conotes that am still uncertain if Otedola invited/contacted the SSS before the sting operation since the SSS is yet to make a public stance on Otedola's claims

Forget about that. Believe you me, if the SSS was not involved, they would've come out to discredit Otedola and not keep mute. I believe they are still mute because of the PDP "powers that be".

Demdem: The issue at hand is not the uselessness of our police force but the will of the leadership in making sure that this case come to a conclusive end on time if at all there is even any case

It is the latter you should've been talking about not the former. As you said the SSS can also prosecute as they have the powers of the Police, but then the latter comes into play - willingness. I believe they are being held back by the "powers that be" who want this case to be quietly resolved as a PDP family affair (with 2 PDP "sons" quarreling).

Demdem: ur opinion no doubt and i respect it.
for the police, its bullshit and holds no water, even till yesterday, the so called Video evidence allegedly taken by Otedollar SSS (No one knows yet) isnt even with them.http://www.punchng.com/news/no-evidence-yet-to-prosecute-lawan-police/

Who doesn't know we don't have a Police Force? If you are going to use the views of the Nigerian Police then I cannot take you seriously. It is clear that in saner climes, the Police would request for the evidence from who ever has possession and then take it from there.

Normally I should be able to record a crime and present the evidence to the Police to act (as a concerned citizen even without the aid of any law enforcement authorities). For instance look at the case against R Kelly whose purported video was found online. Even though he was eventually cleared, he was prosecuted on the strength of the evidence. But will this work in Nigeria? Get real please.

Redstone: The money has to be retrieved, let's all see how this unfolds.

No it doesn't. Audio and video conclusively prove the act. The marked bills might only be useful in the money trail to pin-point all those involved. But I believe the money is long gone (probably through various Bureau de Change offices).

IgweAni: The last time i checked, Facrook son of Lawan is still a PDP legiislootor. Adamu!

LOL. Thanks for reminding him o.

For "those" saying the SSS sting failed because Farouk was not arrested after he collect the money, please refer to the Abscam sting operation conducted by the FBI in the '80s:

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Abscam_bribery_scandal

Rep. Frank Thompson (D-N.J.) was taped at the FBI house saying that he would help the sheik. Criden later picked up a bag with $50,000 in cash inside, which he said was for Thompson. [8]
Rep. Raymond Lederer (D-Pa.) was filmed taking $50,000 from the sheik. [9]
Rep. Michael Myers (D-Pa.) was filmed taking $50,000 from the sheik. [10]
Rep. John Murphy (D-N.Y.), who was already under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, argued with Criden over who would pick up his money and Criden eventually picked up a suitcase full of cash at a Kennedy Airport hotel. [11]
Rep. John W. Jenrette (D-S.C.) was apparently informed of the sheik by Virginia businessman John Snowe. Snowe was filmed taking $50,000, which Jenrette was later taped receiving. Jenrette later protested that his memory was hazy due to drinking and couldn't recall taking any money. [12]
Rep. Richard Kelly (R-Fla.) was filmed stuffing wads of bills into his suit and asking the sheik's men if it showed. Kelly later tried to explain that he had taken the money only as part his own investigation of the "crooked" dealings at the house. [13]
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) was also filmed at the house but did not pick up any money (see below). [14]

Now tell me why the senators were not immediately arrested as soon as they collected the bribes? There is a precedent to how bribery sting operations are run (which are distinctly different from drug sting operations in which the suspect is immediately arrested for obvious reasons). If you are not familiar with these things, it's best to shut the fvck up.

erniok: Oiseworld, you shouldn't have resorted to insults.

Why? Such a person should not only be insulted but also stoned to death. I can't believe that anybody at this moment will even still be talking about "both parties are guilty since Otedola gave the bribe".

Just yesterday I was explaining to someone that the money given as bribe by Otedola was not even his own money and she was in shock. Apparently unaware of the story but she had by default backed Lawan (tribal affiliation). It is tiring.

LOL. Why is Ileke-Idi missing from this thread? Your ileke don drop commot from ya waist?

for now my window bottons have their own mind they decide wether to wind down or wing up i realy dont blame dem

Exactly. That's where most of the problem will come from (water damage). Nearly all the electronic devices in your car might pack up within a few days (modern cars have dozens of computers and chips). I will advise you to park the car and allow it to dry out thoroughly.

LOL @ inexperienced "somebody".

ikoha: d.ck head, you can only think like that, probably, because the only Nigeria men you have always seen are from calabar and Akwa ibom or the only Nigerian male musicians you have ever seen are M.I and his Choc midgets.

She's actually just projecting her crush (Farouk) on all Nigerian men. She doesn't know we all don't look like him.

Hizeey: Wtf...I just dislike this dude sha..

You "sound" so...Nigerian.

Baseless argument. Apart from "Pakuru mo" which of his songs have much Yoruba anyway? Is it "Holla at your boy" or "Omo to sho'" or "Tease me" or "Don"?

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]the old passenger's identity and his residence .[/quote]...if he really exists. The investigation should start from the airport; if they can get witnesses. And then digging into the woman's call records. If every crying widow is excluded, most crimes will never be solved (coincidentally as happens in Nigeria).

brotherlyn: Wizkid is now an illuminati member. Don't you see the finger sign?

Ode. What does the sign which merely signifies a W have to do with Illuminati? Does Illuminati start with letter W? Now let me point out 2 words/phrases that start with W:

1. West(-side); you might as well say Tupac was Illuminati as he always flashed the W. This also applies to The Game as he's from Cali and reps the West-side.
2. Wizkid

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]Son, be quiet.

When P-square did a remix with R. Ross, did they reduce the igbo in the video? it's time America is introduced to Nigerian languages.

You can try to hide it as much as you want, but your posts are becoming too obvious.[/quote]LOL. You are just catching on? He also had to compare him to the S.I unit of success (P-Square) who coincidentally are Igbo.

Seun: If such cases happened every day, they would not make good TV. They are shown on TV precisely because they rarely happen.

And your point? Because even a killing such as this one does not occur everyday.

But really, you need to get more acquainted with murders before pushing forward your opinion. It is well established that most murders are committed by members of the family of the victim (especially spouses) and well backed by the 2 standard premises for murder:

1. Access (to the victim) and knowing his whereabouts.
2. Motive (MOST strangers don't have a reason to kill another stranger).

So, as a matter of fact it's cases that total strangers murder another stranger that rarely happen compared to cases of familiar people (and family).

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]Remember, it was the husband that changed the destination at the last minute. According to her side of the story.[/quote]Yes:

1. According to her story which we can't verify.
2. She can easily relay the itinerary change to the killers (without raising any suspicion by calling and making out the receiver to be the supposed member of the church).

Once again, remember we are all playing Sherlock Holmes here; and I am not stating with authority that she did it. Just speculation. Besides we all know this will be another unsolved murder.

LMAO.

No! No! Real programmers don't use high-level languages; they program in Assembly Language or even Machine Code!

tchidi: Bolt!! Ur oyibo babe don de do u strong tin o!!

Apparently he split with her in May. So could it be the other way round?

doofanc: Why would a lady want her husband of 30years dead?

Ha. You need to watch more of Crime & Investigation channel. You will see spouses married for as long as these ones and with many children and maybe even grand-children. I am beginning to think we have as much a problem as in The West with spousal murders but the reason we are oblivious is the poor policing.

yorke: Yes, coz both the giver and taker are guilty. Otedola is a criminal!

I think the SSS is the giver since they provided the marked bills to Otedola (this you would know if you'd been following the story). So the SSS should be questioned eh?
