deelobe:

this is beginning to sound like vendetta. Which school did Mitchell go to How can he be waiting for him to excrete four more times. I hope he has a good lawyer. Haba wetin Nigeria is really a third world country it is not a mistake

of course what did you expect,when you look at the amount of tribalism going on here and then replicate it in the real world you begin to see how this could affect the man.
first they said he had to excrete 6 times
now its 3 times why haven't they done the ct scan since thursday that the man has been with them?

hannie:

use your bleeping brain . . .

Tinubu is at work here

I'm sorry for your condition so tinubu is the drug lord now??
no wonder your brain is worn out from being overworked, its not used to this much mental effort so give it a rest,no be by force

hannie:

u r yet making no sense dumbo!

u have never been to Ikorodu so u think Ikorodu is some village. . .how stewpid u are!

u dont think if u ever relocate to Nigeria u will come to Ikorodu  . . .it shows that u lack vision and u dont even know the way the rich reason,the TRULY RICH look for virgin lands, otherwise scorned by others to invest in and turn them into goldmines . . yet ediots like urself still live in your cages thinking pple give 2 fcuks about GRA . . .u dey madt ni? get it into your freking head, everyone is talking real estate in Lagos and no one gives a bleep about GRA . . .na Banana Island we dey even dey discuss? ode oshi  

na ediots like u go dey UK dey argue say internet no dey Ikorodu . . .Mumuni Alao  

it is obvious from successive comments/replies from you that your brain is being gradually worn out as a result of the mental effort to put this much words together
another thing you seem to have an issue with is simple english comprehension
the third observation is that it seems you are very slow on the uptake, sort of borderline dyslexic and it takes you a while to understand stuffs

seems you have a problem with me staying in ikorodu,na by force

[b][b][b]Scan: NDLEA may apologise to Baba Suwe[/b][/b][/b]
17/10/2011 17:52:00Kelvin Osa- Okunbor


The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), said on Monday that it may apologise to the detained Nollywood star, Babatunde Omidina aka “Baba Suwe”, who was arrested last week for alleged drug trafficking, if the result of the computerized tomography scan does not find traces of hard drug in his body.
Omidina was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, last week on his way to Paris, France.
Speaking in a telephone interview, the Director -General of NDLEA, Femi Ajayi, explained that the ace actor will still have to undergo the CT scan to ascertain his true position on the matter.
“If the scan result indicates that the ace actor did not ingest any drug, the NDLEA will release him and possibly tender an unreserved apology because of the wide interest his arrest has generated.
“Based on the standard operational rule, it is after the third excretion, which is expected to take some days that it would become clearer whether or not the suspect had any drug on him.
“It is too early to say if the ace comedian is guilty or not, but the scan will be completed and the result released for the general public to see things for themselves, “Ajayi stated

Sam xiu lee:

@ hannie,like i said,you know it all,and when you look @ the mirror you can tell yourself welldone[b],a soap making factory in ikorodu[/b],with properties all over the town?.ijede is not [b]u town its a satellite settlement so what all the fuss about,that area is where most guys who were washed away by sanusi tsunami left to,when they couldn't pay house rent in metro lagos city and where soaked in debt.try stop name calling people you dont know[/b]even ikorod.they are just trying to tell you that even if it was you that was detained without any evidence,people should come to your defence.

LOOOOL AT THE BOLDED,I EVEN THOUGH THE AREA HE STAYS IN IKORODU WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE AREA THE WAY HE WAS MAKING MOUTH

hannie:

yes u ARE A FAT FHOOL!!!

U are actually a slow nitwit that should be though how to use the space bar . . .cos I cant read any of those puerile quotings of yours!

u were born in GRA . . .U mean GR of Ajegunle?

u sound like one who is permanently on cheap drugs if u think only poor people or medium class people reside at Ikorodu . . .even if it were I am proud thats where I saty and yet I have inernet access and do have more of electicity than your wretched area in Ikeja living on past glory  . . .dont give me that crap about Ikeja, there is nothing special there, I schooled at Command Childrens' school in the 80's and frequented Leventis a lot . . .

I asked how old u are because I have been going to UK ever before u were born except u are saying u are over 30 years old, I wont say more than that!!! Peeps here like Jackal, Akolawole know what I can lay claim to,I dont have time for recidivists like u spurting hokum here ''I CANT CONSIDER STAYING IN IKORODU'' . . .Who the bleep are u? whatchugot u asswipe feeling funky?  

each time i try to give your brain and intellect the benefit of doubt the next comment you make proves me wrong and shows me again and again that your brain is operating on a single cell instead of multiple cells like every normal brain.
this brings me to the conclusion that you are a bungalow with an empty decking i.e nothing upstairs,

let me re iterate

i have never been to ikorodu in my whole life and it is not an option for me to stay when i eventually move back to nigeria GOD willing
i have absolutely nothing against those who live there but i don't know anyone there unless you want me to go there and then carry a placard looking for people that will be friends with me.

if living and growing up in g.r.a is such a big deal to you,then why running down the area as living on past glory you see the contradiction?loool

pls engage your brain in gear and stop cursing on neutral

again i don't know if middle class or rich people stay in ikorodu simply because i have never been there before ,i don't know who lives inside tinubu's house or obasanjo's house because i don't know anyone there read this slowly and you ll understand.

good for you that you have been travelling to uk,even before prince charles was born a beg clap for yourself looool so which of your london trips did you board same flight with baba sure when he was excreting drugs
baboon

hannie:

u are a slowpoke of infinite proportions . . .

where is your proof that IBB was ever corrupt?

Abacha?

u see your stewpidity? most times we claim junk journalism is all rubbish but several times there is an iota of truth in what they write . .

I dont have to tell u that, do I?

Ode Oshi

for anyone to assert the bolded shows that if people got awards for being stupid you will be conferred with the nobel price for stupidity the alarming thing is that yours is even bordering n senility

hannie:

http://textjames./

y'all should check this link and tell me it is junk journalism . . .

SIR/MA I'm sorry to say this but your stupidity is infinite,
we are still correcting you about making unfounded statements without proof and you r posting a random blog where allegations are being made without proof.
he killed his wife,why didn't he kill the person who revealed the story to the blogger??

he killed his wife to stop her revealing his drug trade,so in all the years she had known he was drug smuggling,why hadn't she revealed this to the authorities,or was her mouth sealed all the years before she died?

so she has not had an opportunity to travel out in all the years before she died or she has never travelled out on her own until she died

even if she wanted to,do you think its that easy for her to just travel out and then sit down and live in another country without a stay or a leave to remain??looool
dude quit with this foolishness

hannie:

@Luca[b]bastard[/b]

the bolded is your second name so i ll pass,i can't possibly be sharing same second name with you  

hannie:


U are the king of all nitwits on NL . . .

U just locked that position down for yourself NOW with that your uninformed and pugnacious post!

and like i mentioned before you are still a red buttoned baboon,which you have proven beyond reasonable doubt by your uncouth and abrasive tirades

hannie:

you are a freaking ediot to think Ikorodu is some village . . .oponu ni bobo yi sha!!!

I'm sorry if its not a village,but i have never been there in my whole life besides all i said was that i would not consider living there so how is that your problem when i have not asked you for the rent money or money to build a house?

hannie:

am sure u leave in a cage somewhere and by virtue of that u come here posing rubbish yet proving nothing like the Arrow u are!

i was born and brought up in ikeja g.r.a and i have never lived anywhere else until i travelled abroad where i am presently and i can tell you with all confidence our house isn't a cage, baboon

hannie:

wherever u are I been there, so dont give me that crap, am not a wannabe on NL and I know u know my stuff so dont even test me u asswipe!

good for you but its got nothing to do with me,if you like travel to afghanistan and then do a stop over in iraq thats your biz wax,i really don't know whatever your stuff is and frankly i don't give two bananas,check my postings and you ll realise i don't spend 24 hrs on nairaland i have an active l;ice. talk about delusions of grandeur who sabi you

hannie:

I have got property at Ikorodu, I stay there, I also got other properties anywhere I see is gonna bloom sometime but freking fhools like u think Ikorodu is some village? your anus sure is doing your thinking for u!

majority of people that stay at Ikorodu know for sure that Ikorodu just like Badagry would soon be the hottest zone in Lagos, not Mowe nor Ibafo, but ediots like u wont know that once the 4th Mainland Bridge is completed that would be the case . . .

clap for yourself you have really done good for yourself never heard of a baboon having properties lool, you don't know me nor what i have yet you are shooting your mouth off about properties in ikorodu,is that supposed to impress me loooool

hannie:

u dare say that u can live where Baba Suwe stays because he is no drug peddler . . .Majority of the creme de la creme have properties there, worth as much as 10's of Millions of even 100's of Millions but here u stay on NL exposing your stewpidity . . .U WAN MAKE I BEGIN DEY TELL U BABA SUWE'S DRUGS CONNECTIONS? NO NEED ANY BODY THAT IS WELL INFORMED KNOWS THE STORY EXCEPT U AND your UNINFORMED EDIOTIC FRIENDS THAT DONT KNOW THAT EVEN THE RICH ATIMES DONT HAVE TASTE OR ARE NOT CONFIDENT TO GO AND STAY WHERE THE TRULY NOAVEAU RICH STAY  

Wunmi the other lady that was caught the other time doing drugs stays quite close to Baba Suwe (Ewu -Elepe), yet your ediotic self believes drug peddlers stay only in Ikoyi . . .u be asswipe I repeat!!!  

how old are u sef?

Oponu oshi!    

which of the tinubus,ayokus,abebes,okoyas,atikus,i.b.b,okoya thomas e.t.c have mansions or properties in ikorodu?? will be waiting for you to name them if not then you have just showcased your stupidity once again.

if you passed through the four walls of an higher institution,even technical school then you would have heard the saying amongst lawyers"HE WHO ASSERTS,MUST DO SO WITH PROOF"
you don't accuse another individual of drug smuggling on a public internet forum without any prove and you expect everyone to tune in and listen to you, we are not all ignorant nappy heads like you dude.
well if you are an example of someone who is "WELL INFORMED" then its a shame that nigeria's judicial system is the way it is,if not baba sure would have sued the pants off people like you who make weighty allegations without proof and the courts would have taken the little bit of money you have off you to teach you a big lesson in unguarded statements,

another level of ignorance,illiteracy and stupidity you have shown is the second assertion above,
so because baba sure lives in the same area as the wunmi woman,then definitely he must be involved in drugs do you even listen to yourself at all or do you proof read your comments before posting??
so lets just say that everybody who lives in festal must be drug dealers since many people have been arrested who have confessed to living in festal and its environs abi,you see how silly your assertion is?

look in the micro and repeat after me, I AM A BIG FOOL

hannie:

u are stewpid by default!!!

Baba Suwe compared to P Square   Olodo ni bobo yi sha  

keep arguing the obvious, ode oshi!!!

more like asking if Babangida was ever corrupt! Mumuni Alao oshi  

and you are an over fed red button baboon by default if at this stage in your life you can't decipher simple comparison.

which of the obvious that anybody in his/her right senses would not be thinking the man bribed his way out bearing in mind the number of people involved in the case

or that a couple of old buildings in ikorodu where i who is not as popular or as known as baba sure will never live makes him a drug dealing billionaire??

anyone who goes through the ambiguous and ignorant assertions you have been making and the infantile evidence you have attached will know you not me are the ignorant buffon,
now that the man has been released,pls make sure you report to his house starting tomorrow morning to pack all his poo so we can continue to anayse it

SHAME TO BAD PEOPLE HOSSANAH,SHAME TO BAD PEOPLE HOSSANAH GOD TIME IS THE BEST HOSSANA DINAH BABAY BABA SUWE HOSANAH
SHAME TO IGNORANT TRIBALIST HOSSANAH

TO THE TRIBALIST DONT WORRY DONT BE DESPONDENT,WE SHALL CONTINUE THE PART TWO IN BABA SUWE'S HOUSE AND ANALYSE ALL HIS POO FOR THE NEXT ONE YEAR UNTILL WE DISCOVER THE COCAINE

^^^^^^^^
don't mind the stupid inept inefficient ndlea,if you have passed that airport before on an international flight you need to see the way they hassle passengers.
last year on my way to france without any reason or grounds for suspicion one fat ugly woman just rudely pulled me back and started asking me all sorts of questions that wasn't even her job if they feel like they will delay you since they have the power of "REASONABLE SUSPICION"

hannie:

U would be foolish to think Baba Suwe isnt/wasnt a drug peddler . . .we all know the story . .all your yarns about his staying at Ikoyi is rooster and bull . .get some perspective!

so in your ikorodu factory,if one of your workers is being accused of stealing you immediately sack him/her and hand them over to the police because he is living in a 3 bed flat and using an okada? without any evidence
you don't have any evidence that the man is dealing drugs save for the fact that he has some old building in ikorodu whose value is not even up to a single stoy duplex in lekki phase 1,yet by some magical powers and psychic powers you just know he is guilty bravo clap for yourself,I'm sure the ikorodu factory owners association will be so proud of you.

go and ask someone to direct you to where genevieve nnaji lives in lekki,even the small boy hip hop artiste like dr sid that started less than ten years ago lives in a thirty something million 1004 flats
how many kilo grammes of drugs did p square carry to build a multi million naira mansion

mikepeace:

U people should use your sences when talking, dont forget that this is naija, i dont have anything against baba suwe but i can tell u for sure that i have traveled to many parts of the world through the lagos airport and have seen on many occasions when they arrest people for drug offence, i want u to note this down now, if at last baba suwe is freed on the ground that he had nothing on him, then settlement has been made on his behalf, and u wont see baba suwe going to court because he must have been told as a condition durin negociation to say he wont go to court because the NDLEA were doing theire job.

Can u recall how many times u have heard in the past publicly that someone was arrested in lagos airport for drugs offence and after some days freed because nothing was found afterall?

I have a feeling that this one might just go that way, it may have been negociation going on all this days!

God is seeing everything though!

thank you for educating us o mr ajala travel all over the world, as if we too have not used international airport in lagos,or do you think i am resident in nigeria? pls check my handle!
the pdp house of rep candidate from edo state that was arrested for drugs last year and prosecuted is baba sure richer than the man?

so baba suwe bribed all the ndlea officials including alhaji giade the head of ndlea?
I'm sure he bribed all the customs
,immigration
the airport press ppl
the ndlea doctor who examined him
he has to bribe the cleaner as well who will be packing the poo
I'm sure he bribed the air france staffs as well so they won't reveal anything
now that the case is nearing almost a week,he will probably have to arrange some more millions to bribe the judge,bribe the press

pls enlighten us who else has he bribed,who did i miss?

AjCityOne:

You guys are all missing the point. You are all so fixated to the fact that the man is guilty and not realizing that there is a colossal failure in the manner in which NDLEA have conducted it self in the process.

Why making it public through the media if the so called evidence haven't been found on the man?
Why kept the man in detention since Wednesday if there is no evidence to charge him with?

You all may be thinking that this is some funny stuff going on and be passing your blame on to the Yoruba's or some other tribes. But you will remember this moment in time when the Nigerian authority hold you in their custody with no evidence and just on some suspicion that you may be guilty before you have even had your day in court.

If you are an educated individual with the right state of mind and not some ignorant that came on this forum to spread hate and tribal disaffection's, Pay attention to the process and the manner in which the whole thing is been carried out.

koruji:

You do have this tendency to call someone accused, without proof, guilty. I don't know where u got that orientation in life but it is there.

You are posting pictures as if that has anything to do with this case. Next some ignorant fool is going to be quoting your photo and suggesting it is that of Baba Suwe.

[size=14pt]The NDLEA has not released any photos, and they are telling us that they are yet to find anything physically.[/size]

At most that tells you to wait until: a) They release such a photo; b) They actually find physical evidence.

Jumping to conclusions that it is being covered up is just a bit callous, since the guy may be innocent and the NDLEA may have committed a big blunder.

Pray you never get wrongly accused of something so big - because if the same yardstick as you are using here were applied there would be no hope for you.

the only sensible comments

aribisala0:

that picture is NOT a CT scan but a picture from google images
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ct+scan+drug+mule&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=fmT&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=HvqaTr7KGcuo8QOD79zDBQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CA8Q_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=665
. unfortunately it is fake.
some of the black and white images are probably more accurate

i tire o,anything including fake pictures from google image just to pronounce the man guilty online

from the fore going after about 4 days it is patently obvious that the ndlea know within themselves that they have committed a huge blunder now all they are trying to do is mask their in efficiency.

first the ndlea spokes person was reasonably sure he has drugs in his tract making someone like me and others wrongly castigate the man.
now after 2 days they started being unsure,they said it was standard practise to hold a suspect until he has done like 4 poohs,now the man has done the second after 4 days without any sign of discomfort, more over according to them he is co-operating fully with them and their doctors have been examining him showing that he has nothing in his belly.
unless its not the nigeria i know and grew up in,where the air-condition ,escalators and all the normal infrastructures have broken down would it be out of place for the said body scanners to have mal functioned as well?
is it really that far out?
another thing i don't understand is this,where did the report emanate that 16 pellets of drugs came out of the man,before any press person would report it,someone from the ndlea or airport would have divulged this information.

i hope baba suwe's lawyer is taking notes and watching closely as events for when they will go to court and sue the ndlea.

1.ndlea have to be held responsible for making a totally false and unsubstantiated allegation thereby denting the man's image

2.they have to refund the costs of his ticket and the lost revenue(i.e he was going to mc and occasion and other businesses in paris)

3.they have to pay substantial damages to the man for soiling not just his name,but the baba sure brand that the man has toiled for more than 20 years to build

4.they have to make a public statement in the print media and electronic media absolving the man of any wrong doing and apologising to him,his friends and families who have been affected,his colleagues his fans e.t.c

Ileke-IdI:

So embarrassing. Imagine someone watching me excrete, then searing through my shoit in order to publicize something.

This should be a lesson to all those drug users/ pushers in the entertainment industry.

A shame to awa Yorubas. Yorubas are better than this.

well if someone was fascinated with your pooh,the embarrassment is on them sticking their fingers or whatever in the poo

besides were you there when the man was swallowing the drugs?
they have not found any drugs on the man since thursday yet people like you are already carrying beer parlour rumours
you might be ashamed of being yoruba,but i certainly am not

hannie:

^ guy, abeg spare me all those stories!

even if u were Baba Suwe's publicist yo surely cant convince anyone!

I have a factory close to where Baba Suwe stays and has his shopping plaza (a walking distance) . . .SO I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT HIM!

Tell other stories to the marines . . am not interested in a freaking stingy man who has BLEACHED commons sense out of his brain

so what if you know his business concerns? does that automatically infer that he is a drug smuggler?
a man who has been in the industry for up to 20yrs has businesses in ikorodu,not lekki phase1 or ikoyi and your making a big deal out of it going by your thinking how many trailers of drugs has d bank,don jazzy and the hollywood practitioners carried for them to live in lekki phase 1

how many trailers of drugs did dj jimmy matt carry for him to be renting a luxury flat for 10 million a year?

tpia@:

so thanks to the internet we are all waiting for blow by blow accounts of people's poo.

isnt that fascinating.

its not poo o i think the dailies actually called it expensive shit or something similar lool
if i had access to the ndlea chairman i ll suggest they package the poo,label it and certify it with baba suwe's signature so they can auction it for people like the tribal bigots on here to buy and go analyse it in the comfort of their homes/kitchen

Reptyle:

Oga i have heard of laxatives. Didn't know that "constipators" exist. Going by your statement, there is a drug that will prevent one from stooling for 3 days. Care to mention the name?

are you new on nairaland?you shouldn't bother replying ignorant comments like those reading through you should have realised whoever made such an ignorant comment is either a stark illiterate or a secondary school leaver.in this day and age a sane person will be making comments saying that there is a drug that will prevent stooping!

paris10:

Can Segun Arinze reverse those words back? He called Baba Suwe a disgrace to Nigeria in general. Does that say it all that Segun was well informed by the NDLEA that Baba Suwe had cocaine in his stomach? Now NDLEA have to call him back that it was a mistake, shameful, isn't it?

not just segun arinze even his colleagues femi brained the idiot ,hide kosoko with his pot belly and his face like albino roundly condemned him a sensible and mature person should have simply told the press ppl that they will make a comment after getting more facts surrounding the case.
thank GOD the man will see everything the supposed colleagues/friends said about him after only 3 days

onye_ngbu*:

It is called full body scanner.

The unfortunate thing is that this one was manufactured by one Chief Ikenga in Alaba in China.

i have read all your comments and all i can say is please stop commenting like an illiterate!

full body scanners will only show an X-ray view of the said objects,it doesn't show drugs or any object in full colour like a colour tv or air.
if you live in the uk,uk customs is showing on sky television and you will see several instances where they have made mistakes such as this,you will even hear the people abusing them or some laughing about it and the customs apologising the scanners and even the machine used in testing for hard drugs is not 100% fool proof.
research and inform yourself before exhibiting yourself on all the threads.


how come all the other people arrested including a prominent politician and pdp in edo state who was going to contest for the house of reps was not released?

think about it,even if the man carried cocaine GOD used this outcome to shut people like you up who have judged and quartered him even before the official pronouncement i am sure your shame and anger is informing you jumping from one thread to the other making ignorant comments

BootyOnMe:

Mu he he he he he

LWKMD Eeeeeeeeeeeh!!!!!

don't worry the shyyyte is still available for you if you need it for anything,ndlea will even help you package it neatly for you to collect

@poster
its not corruption you r smelling its the poo that the man excreted.
were you there to know they were bribed? if you watch the uk customs in action on tv they do make mistakes as well but the difference between them and the stupid twits called ndlea is that the uk custom will never accuse you of smuggling drugs until they find the drugs,test it analyse it

odiaero:

Surely she must have found love after pocketing millions of naira

she said as much in the interview when she talked about tapping into the market and her fans there, dont worry she go hear am when alaba boys show here wetin day

aloy/emeka:

So there is no other way to determine if he ingested drugs without going through his faeces?. We are so 19th century in that country.

it almost seems as if you wish he carried drugs??

i ,like so many people wrongly jumped to conclusion and i for one have said a lot of uncomplimentary stuffs about the man but i have prayed for forgiveness and i really think we should all move on the short movie is over
@post
if i was baba sure i will look for a very very good lawyer and then sue the ass off ndlea stupid inefficient twats and dickheads!!!

how can you accuse a man of carrying drugs and then allow the press to run the story nationwide when you have not found anything??

i thank GOD for him sha,

wonder where all the illiterate tribal bigots dancing are now

GOD forgive me for jumping to conclusions o i just found this online o,

Baba Suwe excretes, no drug found
on OCTOBER 15, 2011 · in NEWS

IFEANYI OKOLIE & Daniel Eteghe
Ace Actor and comedian, Omidina Babatunde a.k.a Baba Suwe now in the custody of the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, over alleged possession of cocaine was said to have made his first self excretion but no drug was found in it.

Disclosing this development to Saturday Vanguard, the Head of Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju however said Suwe was still under close observation by the agency to know what actually went wrong.

Baba Suwe was nabbed aboard an Air France aircraft to Paris at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja Lagos at about 10pm on Wednesday when he allegedly tested positive to drug ingestion and had been placed under observation since then.

Earlier yesterday, the NDLEA had expressed concern that Suwe who was on his way to attend the naming ceremony of his close friend in Paris had not been able to excrete despite the fact that he was ‘’eating very well and co-operating with narcotic investigators.’’ ‘

’There is reasonable ground for suspicion and the actor is currently under observation. He is fine and had been eating but has not excreted.

‘’We have invited our doctor to examine him. This is crucial to ascertain the true position.

Further up-date on the matter shall be made known to the general public. “.the Agency told Saturday Vanguard, shortly before he ecreted.

NDLEA’s Airport Commander, Alhaji Hamza Umar also confirmed that Suwe was in safe custody even as it was learnt that he was to the act as a compere during the naming ceremony which he missed as a result of his arrest.

ONYE OGBU AD OTHER TRIBAL BIGOTS HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS YET? NO DRUGS HAVE BEEN FOUND ON THE Yoruba MAN'S POO OO

onye_ngbu*:

That scanner is either fake or the operator was incompetent!
Its either it was imported from china by an igbo man or an igbo person operated it and thats why he wont know or pretended he didnt know the difference between balls of amara and white substance.
Tell me people, doesnt dark objects like amara appear white in such scanners?
This is tribal conspiracy of highest order. They want to kill yorobawood so that their nollywood will continue to reign.

hi how come you have not made any comment today I'm seriously enjoying it even though i am yoruba.what have the yorubas done today since you ar the official nairaland osuofia

sdbaba:

I never said what he did was right, infact I condemn it 100%, I was only saying we the society at large should also treat this people like commoners. We are the ones that make them stars and put heavy loads on them to meet up. For instance if you see Tuface driving a peugeot 504 wont you laugh at him? be sincere with yourself.

My nephew doesnt like spending money at all, he's very prudent but in a situation where they hold him and his immediate family hostage, what is N20K in redeeming that kind of situation? that you're not sure where it may end. There was a day I was there and he came around, few mins later there were like 10 boys at their gate saying they're looking for him, we told them to go tell them that he wasnt around that he just came to drop something and he has left. They said ok no worries, they'll wait at the gate that since he has left they'll see wether it's his driver alone that will drive out with his car. After about 30mins of them waiting, he had to go out to see them himself and *settle* them cos he had to leave for an urgent appointment.

Anyways you may not understand now, I pray God makes you a superstar or that you win an elective post as a politician, then you'll appreciate what I'm saying here. All the best.

the issue is this if the supposed stars don't allow greed or whatever the people are saying to affect them then they don't have any problems i have seen baba wand before near my friend's house in ikeja the man lives in oshogbo and we saw him walking on the road with people hailing him.
i have seen mama rainbow walking on her own at lagos island many years ago,i remember when i went to check on the man processing my visa many many years ago i saw chief kanran standing by the road side conversing with another man people were hailing him and he greeted them and continued doing what he was doing
i have also seen the albino man elesho once with an uncle who came from abroad,my uncle actually stopped the car and gave him 100 pounds
i gave all these examples to show you that there is absolutely no excuse but pure naked greed especially for a man who has cars,houses,businesses,money and is still making money.
area boys will accept any amount you give them even if you are a star ask anybody who knows kana nwakwo as rich as he is he rarely gives area boys or anyone money is baba sure or your cousin richer than he is??

first off all,like i said she is an ex and i wouldn't like to put out her business on a public forum without her approval as she might be reading this second first ask anyone who works in men what the salary package is.
second in case you didn't know MTN has the best package among telecom coys in nigeria recently

third a call centre staff in the uk earns like 650-800 monthly after tax,i know because i have worked in the 02 call centre before this you can go online and confirm now they ll pay their council tax out of this
they ll pay rent
they ll pay transport train or bus
feeding
lets assume the staff doesn't have any credit card or debit card bills
lets assume the staff doesn't go out clubbing
electricity and gas bills

pay tv license

now pls tell me what is remaining out of 800 pounds monthly,i intentionally didn't put a figure to the list so as to give you a chance to do so yourself now compare this to an men staff who makes between 100-120k basic salary monthly

they also have medical as standard just like the uk
they have an option of car loan like i mentioned before
mtn conduct car auctions selling the car way cheaper than what is obtained on the open market
they also give quarterly bonus or as at when due
they give every single staff a choice of an household item every year my ex gf last year got a generator the year before she chose a washing machine e.t.c

they don't pay council tax in nigeria
they don't pay for heating
they don't pay tv license
gas is a fraction of the price here and public transportation is also cheaper even though mtn has a staff bus which picks up the staffs and drops them off at designated areas

apart from this the spouse of an men staff and the children are automatically qualified to the free health scheme
now all i have mentioned are not the totality of the benefits,these are just the ones i re collect this is a public forum and i am throwing a public challenge to any MTN staff to contradict all that i have stated you can also call anyone who knows an men staff to confirm
SUPRISED? i was too didn't know nigeria was that good lol

coogar:

you won't rise to verbal barbs but your psychic ability tells you only jobless people frequently travel to nigeria?
the mental faculty of an average nigerian worries me.

you made reference to comprehension a couple of times yet it seems you are most guilty of it, you inferred that you have been to nigeria more times than i have been in a decade.i didn't argue or be labour the point with you but stated that the nature of my job does not permit me to travel to nigeria as often as you do perhaps your business or whatever you do permits you do such.dont let your view of nigerians becloud your argument

coogar:

do the men leaving the uk from nigeria already have relationships in nigeria? you are talking about english comprehension and yet you are mixing apples and oranges. the nigerian men the op is talking about go to nigeria to find spouses and marry! new relationships, which is quite different from what you are saying here.

what normally happens cause i am making an assumption that you don't know, they don't fly 6 hrs and spend thousands of pounds based on a blind search all the way to nigeria most people would already have been conversing with the girl/lady on phone,chatting ,bb or whoever before making the move to travel down to nigeria.same goes for the woman as well and ppl meet their spouse either through social network,through family/friends recommendation e.t.c
would you travel all the way to nigeria on a blind search?

coogar:

most women don't have any relationship going in nigeria before leaving the uk. they just go there to try their luck via hook-ups or matchmaking by friends or relatives. some of them even aim the nysc scheme as a good poaching ground to catch these men.

didn't see this before the comment above,however your comment is actually contradictory on one hand you wrote that they don't have any relationship and on the other hand you made reference to hook ups or matchmaking isn't that a relationship?for you to spend £600 on a flight ticket and the attendant expenses to go see someone means you are ready to commit after discussions with each other

coogar:

if 9 out of every 10 nigerian men i speak to tell me they will easily jump ship if they can get a cushioned pad abroad,

I'm sorry but i find this very hard to believe,until you show me conclusive proof of the statistics.i simply will not agree with you that 90% of nigerian men will jump ship however i will grant you that you are probably referring to the nigerian men you have spoken to,not a generality.

coogar:

why won't i come up with a reasonable statistics? do i have to interview every man in nigeria before i can come up with my own statistics - or are you so blind to see what i am saying?

what you have stated above is by no means reasonable in every sense of the word,you have simply made a blanket assumption based on the nigerian men you know,the nigerian men i know will never jump ship so there.you don't have to interview every nigerian man but there is something called a control sample meaning the people you will interview have to represent all the categories of nigerian men before you can arrive at a reasoned opinion its not enough to for example interview 100 men under the bridge without getting a sample of 100 men who are educated,employed and advancing in their careers.
i ll ignore the last bit,like i mentioned before verbal barbs doesn't advance or help your debate/argument in any way in fact it removes from it

coogar:

what are they doing in nigeria? there are 40 million jobless youths in nigeria.
concentrate - 40 million unemployed! when was the last time you went to nigeria before coming up with your tales-by-moonlight of blossoming career and businesses. which business? yahoo-yahoo?

so there are no jobless men in the uk,in america,canada?? maybe you should go on google and check the present figures especially in america
i never said there won't be millions who will jump at the chance of getting married to a british girl/lady.but concerning this present discussion from my experience i stated the reasons why it doesn't happen as much with the women as with the men.
besides will you come all the way from the uk,with your passport,financial worth,educational e.t.c and marry a jobless or yahoo yahoo guy?
obviously the girl/lady coming from abroad has certain basic standards which must be met,she and whoever hooked her up would have made sure the guy in question fulfilled certain criteria this brings me back to the point i have been making.
the reason why the nigerian men can afford not to jump ship is because unlike the 40 million nigerians they are neither jobless nor short of the kind of ladies they want, pls ask people in nigeria about the ladies in nigeria who are looking for husbands they are accomplished ladies in every way academically,financially i know because i am a single guy and if i was a gold digger and didn't give a hoot about liking/loving even though i am resident in the uk i would have been married to a girl who was well to do academic,financially e.t.c

on your next visit to nigeria pls visit house on the rock in mason centre or the redeemed church in lekki amongst other churches and you will see nigerian girls who look as if they stepped out of a gq magazine or live abroad.

coogar:

yes - we can simply assume everyone you know(5 million approximate) married britons and simply refused to join them in the uk because they all have super-careers and mega businesses in nigeria. keep deceiving yourself with your mumbo-jumbo nonsense.

thank GOD you have finally agreed that blanket generalisation doesn't make any sense.the same way it doesn't make sense for me to conclude that every single briton who is of a female gender and single,nigerian will hook up with a nigerian guy and the guy will refuse to move here,the same way it doesn't make any sense to assume that because a girl is british then the promise of a british passport and living in the uk will be enough for a man to abandon his career friends/family way of live,standard of living

coogar:

nigeria is superb and then this happened. . . . .http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/newsonthehour/2011/sept/24/newsbreak-24-09-2011-001.html

no one is saying nigeria is a paradise or el dorado,same as the america the united kingdom nigeria has its own peculiarities however that still doesn't change the fact that career wise,business wise,even politically so many people who are not multi millionaires will rather stay back in nigeria than living in the uk.not everyone is prepared to trade security and infrastructure for the enclosed,restricted life the lack of opportunities and living like a second class citizen obtained in the uk

coogar:

one man scammed 7,000 nigerian youths and took £200 from them each to process their visas.
majority of those 7,000 folks are professionals with "blossoming careers". i won't be surprised if few of your prosperous friends you keep mentioning in your epistle are there. you have got a lot to learn!

looooooooool so people don't scam in the uk or us or canada
besides hope you realise the scam was for canada not the united kingdom?massive difference in opportunities,way of life e.t.c
in all sense of modesty,my friends are doing ok in their various careers the same way i have very comfortable ones who are not prepared to settle down here another friend who grew up in same area as me who is an ordinary driver although to a very rich man.he was working as a driver in air france and he had an opportunity to travel to europe but he rejected it he later resigned there to work with his present boss and he still has an opportunity to travel to the uk with his boss who is well known on the island(hence i won't mention his name)
and till tomorrow he told his boss he is not ready to travel now.this is a guy making only 50-70k monthly and maybe another 15k or so in tips he is not living a fantastic life compared to my other friends but the point of my pre amble is simply to show you irrespective of the standard of living in nigeria not everyone is fazed about living abroad especially uk

coogar:

she's going to nigeria to find a spouse! career, age, size and educational background are secondary?
where will you easily find an uneducated nigerian in this day and age. virtually everyone there has a bachelors degree/hnd.

for someone who has gone to nigeria more times than i have been in a decade,you surely are not well informed about the country what is the ration of graduates compared to illiterates in nigeria?
majority are still not educated,talk less of a decree i won't bang on bout this issue because i have addressed it above.

coogar:

90% of the nigerian male population would jump at the offer. marrying a brit is different from student's visa.
in 2 years, it means he can have a permanent residence here, converts it to a british passport and travels as he pleases. what do you take nigerians for? the appeal of never having going to queue at the british high commission will force 90% to jump at the offer - a fact that simply evades you.

you are probably the typical british/nigerian who has been in uk for more than 10/15 yrs or more,in fact you have the same views as one of my elder sisters who has been here since 1984.people like you are so enamoured and in awe of your british passport that you can't imagine any nigerian in that dirty insecure country not jumping at the chance to own a british passport. i have news for you slightly digressing from the main topic under discussion

most nigerians will choose america or canada over uk anyway anytime

while millions of nigerians will certainly jump at the chance,those millions will most probably be those without a career,a good job/business and no clear career prospects.
the days of people selling all and re locating abroad especially united kingdom is gone,no one does that anymore
ask friends and family you have in lagos what they call the average nigerian living in britain, they call us "I LL CALL YOU BACK"with derision

coogar:

you don't know the meaning of quality of life, so i cannot even respond to the gibberish you typed there.

i agree with you on this,because i am sure we both have vastly different definitions of quality of life I'm sure you enjoy the uk life compared to nigeria while some of us have a different view.

coogar:

i think frequent visits to the embassies or the airports in nigeria would tell you about the number of people who wants out - never mind copping a british passport. do you know how much nigerians cough out applying for visas everyday in that country? do you know how much nigerians pay per day for arranged marriages?

abeg, go and sip some coffee!

thanks but no I'm not a coffee drinker
you are still missing the point at no time did i ever infer that millions of nigerians don't want to travel out or to the uk or own a british passport.the point here is at what costs?
and what demographic of nigerian men?
even an armed robber weights the benefits that will accrue from an heist against the risks inherent and surrounding his target if its worth it for him he ll go for it,if not he ll abandon it and seek out an easier target.
the people you know might have nothing to lose if they travel out and get a british passport but i have met people who have the british passport now but have not recovered from their decision to sell all,put their career on hold and move to the uk
on a last note i hope you realise the fact that one has a british passport doesn't automatically make you a millionaire or automatically advance your career or business?
go round and see how many professionals are suffering in uk today

go and see how many former IT professionals are driving cabs due to an inability to get jobs and the need to pay their mortgage this is not hear say or something i read in the papers i know a couple of people in london surrey.

i know chartered accountants with acca,british who are searching for jobs
my immediate junior brother is a qualified architect and almost 2 years he has not been able to get a job even though he is british and is now looking towards nigeria
go and find out how many british professionals who are flocking to dubai,qua tar and the middle east generally to work

sdbaba:

Pls Nairalanders lets stop tribalising bad habits. All races have got their own and people do say "Everybody na thief but na the one wey dem catch naim road don end for"

But come to think of it,  are these so called entertainers to blame for these acts? I think its us the society at large that is to blame. Can you imagine what would happen to somebody like this Baba Suwe if he was seen trekking around Mushin? We all know it wont take a second before Area Boys over crowd him and tell him he'll not move further until he drops "something" for them, not minding wether him sef kuku get small kudi for pocket or not.

I am an uncle to one of the rising music stars in Naija right now,  do you know that he cant even come home freely anymore to see his mother (who is my elder sister) again? Everytime he comes now ,  he keeps about N20k in fresh mint notes to share to the area boys that will bombard their house and hold everybody to ransome. Right now I'm even afraid for them not to come kidnap my sister and demand for ransome some day. And this is not even Mushin oh!

The issue is we expect too much from these people,  they're normal human beings like us working hard for daily bread but when the society places so much demands on them, this is what it ends up causing. The same thing most of our politicians face,  ordinary Councillor will have to dish out over N1m monthly on goodwill and philantropy when his/her salary is not up to one third of that. Read recently when the present Governor of Yobe state said a prominent friend came to him with names of Thirty people he wanted him to employ into the state ministry, some of them his own children who are still in secondary schools - can you imagine that? Yobe state with just 17 Local Govt has the highest number of state workers in this country with about 46,000 employees. Even kano with 40 local govts has just 36,000. Where are we headed in this country for God's sake? where my people?

We need a rebirth in this country - not just the politicians, actors, actresses, musicians, etc even our so called learned like Professors and all that. Right now i have a rift with one of the professors in our Premier University bothering on fraud, can you imagine that? We need to beg God to give us a re-birth and new sense of commitment to this union called Nigeria - MAY GOD HELP US!!!

sir,I'm sorry but this is absolutely no excuse to indulge in drug smuggling.this man has absolutely no excuse baba suwe with his present status in nigeria working legitimately as an mc,actor and endorsing products will be turning over nothing less than 1.5-2million every month this is not counting the largesse politicians,appreciative fans give them.
your cousin doesn't have to give what he can't afford,neither does he have to live above his means just to show he is a star what normally leads ppl like your cousin and others into acts like these is the quest to live like the puff daddys,jay z in america not realising those guys worked hard for their money.

the quest for overnight success,greed and the dearth of moral accountability in our society is the cause

onye_ngbu*:


Lie, lie, lie!

Baba Suwe is not yoruba he is igbo.

Why are you people are lying in this country, ehh? why?

i really don't get the morbid fascination or enjoyment you are deriving from this??
if you are a regular traveller,then you will realise that homeland security in america or ukba in uk or the european immigration officials don't know the difference between you and the average yoruba person. as far as they are concerned we are all high risk,potential drug mules

coogar:

i am sure i have been to naija more times in recent times than you have done in the last decade but this immaterial in this debate.
it seems many nigerians cannot read or comprehend effectively. . . .

well clap for yourself,possibly you don't have a job or your job or business entails going to nigeria every month i have a company/boss i report to here and i don't have the time to visit nigeria every week as for comprehension trust me i do comprehend and understand however i won't rise to the verbal barb.verbal barbs or insults is a sign of mental insecurity

coogar:

you have not discovered the cure of hiv-aids here cos i mentioned this in my first reply:

what r you on about??

coogar:

if they are joining their husbands, how does that correlate with the topic we are discussing?
concentrate - the topic says why don't women go back home to marry, not join their husbands - the examples you gave above are married couples that are separated, right?

guess you are the one who has issues with english comprehension after all,the topic hence discussion/debate is about the correlation between the nigerian man going to nigeria to find or join or whatever a wife and why their female counterparts don't do same.
now you ask me how this connects to the topic?well ask yourself this will you as a woman leave the shores of the uk if you have not already had a committed relationship?
the examples i gave and any normal and sensible lady would have had a relationship going before going back to meet a guy
now i will ask you to pay close attention yourself i was adducing reasons why women don't go back home to marry
to recap for you

because of culture/societal issues with an instance that i know hence the example, which is of a typical london career chick,who hooks up with a nigerian based guy and goes back to nigeria,gets married to him and they later divorce comprende?

coogar:

if they are well off financially, they are probably in the 10% echelon i described in my previous posts.

still doesn't change the fact that there are other reasons other than your blanket generalisations.besides how did you come by your figure pls show us the qualitative and quantitative research you have done to arrive at this figure you so readily put up.

coogar:

this is why i keep saying nigerians have lost their ability to comprehend.
grabbing an opportunity to travel abroad has different facets. visitor's visa, students' visa and whatever are not what i was talking about.
i am talking about marrying a british citizen and remaining permanently in the uk where you can work and travel without restrictions. who marries a female british cititzen and still hides from ukba or eke out a living doing odd jobs? lucabrasi, compare like for like!

no sir/ma you are the one mixing things up thereby confusing yourself, the basic premise is this,before the recession in uk,not a lot of grounded nigerian men with an average to blossoming career or business in nigeria will readily give all that up to start again in the united kingdom. with the advent of the recession and its attendant joblessness e.t.c even far less will abandon what they are doing in nigeria even to live here permanently.
secondly the fact that the people you know will readily jump at such a chance does not necessarily mean others i know will do so so we both know different people,in different stations open to different opportunities in nigeria(note that we are not even talking about multi millionaires here)
a friend of one of my brothers who is presently married to a briton lives in the northwest,the girl has just given birth to their child and presently she has also gotten the guy a british passport more than 2 yrs now and the guy still lives in lagos but comes to see them regularly.
he doesn't have a fantastic job,average yet as at this weekend he was still empathic that nothing will ever make him settle down in the uk, i know 2 other ppl who are my brothers contemporaries like this directly.

coogar:

your dad didn't bring your brother here to marry. so you are comparing apples to oranges!

he didn't bring him here to marry but he brought him here so he can stay here and possibly school/work here subject to him looking around spending time with different family members and experience life in the uk.after a month in his own summation people in the uk apart from the social amenities and infrastructures went through much more stress than the averagely comfortable nigerian

coogar:

the premise of my argument is. . . . . . .a chic with a british passport going to nigeria to find a husband would get many offers.

i agree,even i living in london with no immigration issues or an american or any guy will definitely step up to a fine chick the british passport does not necessarily mean that the kind of guys she is after will offer her marriage.dont forget she is not going to nigeria to marry a yahoo yahoo guy,conductor or a guy sleeping under the bridge she most probably want a guy with an education,career a title bit of money e.t.c

coogar:

90% of the men in nigeria would jump at the offer because - it's the easiest way to get the indefinite leave to remain, they can work without restrictions and there's a soft landing pad because the woman bringing you in must have an address and some tangible amount of money to sustain the man before he can sustain himself financially.

this is precisely where i have an issue with you,a street boy/man will jump at the offer,same way the bums we see on the street corner here will jump at an offer to do anything for 10 quid.however a nigerian man with the qualities listed above might not necessarily jump at the offer.
this is why i made the comment at first that you have a partial disconnect about present day nigeria, people are getting mortgages,car finance i.e brand new cars not tokunbo we use here
my ex gf works in one of the telecoms coy in abuja(M.T.N) as a call centre staff after she finished uni and post grad in london and aberdeen,she is on a basic starting salary and with benefits she earns more (take home when converted to pounds) than a team supervisor doing same job in the uk.
she has a better quality of life than the manager of a call centre here in the uk and with a company loan she is able to get a brand new car which is deducted from her salary monthly not only this they are given bonuses every year and also offered household items for a fraction of the price like generators,washing machines e.t.c this is not all the benefits as they enjoy even twice more than i have listed here and any mtn staff can bear me witness.now pls compare this to where you work

coogar:

this is whole different to just travelling to visit or travelling to become a student and blah blah blah examples you guys keep bringing up.
we are talking about marriage/settlement!
there's a universe of difference between the two!

either visiting or staying,the opportunities available in the country compared to where they r coming from will determine if they r staying or not if you raise the same argument using america or canada i will have a different view based on my experience.
asides the infrastructures like light,security(which is not 100% fool proof) e.t.c when talking about opportunities and quality of life no sane man will knowingly give up their career or business because of a uk passport
