Vanity. The world will remember him for how he impacted the society, the less privileged with his wealth after he has long gone. Nobody will remember how many private jets he acquired when he was alive. His good deeds will be his long lasting legacy

crossfm:
Hehehe.

We will continue to hear big grammar until their tenure is over.

All their achievements is on paper and the only one's smiling are political appointees and family.

They told us that removing fuel subsidy will turn Nigeria to another Dubai, today we are even borrowing more.

They said floating the naira is the greatest move,we know where we are today.

They said once they remove subsidy on electricity,we will be competing with China for power, another big lamba.

CNG is the next big thing according to them,they celebrated that news for months,we know where we are today.

Bank charges nko?

By next year we will see another drama with their proposed taxation

Nigerians are naive, they still believe in empty promises.

Life expectancy is age 54, five years lower than that of Somalia. Petrol and diesel generators provide much of the power consumed in the country because of perennial outages, and the skylines of big cities are littered with tanks holding water from privately dug boreholes.

This reality — grinding poverty in a country with great natural wealth — is common.

Economists call it the “resource curse” and consider Nigeria a prime example. The idea is that oil and other minerals can often hinder rather than help countries’ development.

Some Nigerians still believe that government has no business easing the living conditions of her citizens, they tagged such things seeking handouts from the government like they don't see how it happens abroad, like they don't know what their leaders are stealing.

Softmirror:
All na lie. Nobody dey win any kind Jackpot. Those gambler are trying to make sensational news so as to attract more gullible people to come and gamble.

It is not something new, stop advertising your ignorance with confidence

Well, I'm sure of one thing: his wife would still take him to court, no one should be surprised if that actually happened

When politicians’ children openly leverage state resources, project political influence, and enjoy the spoils of power, they cease to be private citizens who should be left alone. By their own choices, they make themselves fair game for public scrutiny and political critique

Who among the children doesn't enjoy the spoils of power?

Well, those oloriburuku supporting Israel morally and financially home and abroad can see what they stand with.
Just because Israel wants Palestinians land, they are ready to wipe out 2 million population

Well, technically he can replace Shettima with another northern Muslim, right?

Chukwuisgreat:
The NPF need training and retraining, continuously.

DPOs should be mandated to train officers in two batches on Tuesdays and Thursdays by 8am.

Case studies of this issue and other trending issues affecting the police negatively should be discussed.

If not, there will always be a repeat.

Police are not always happy, especially when they see a successful person.

You are talking like you don't know the real cause of the Nigerian police misconduct. It is not lack of training or awareness, it is the intention to harass and extort. These police have been told that citizens have right to record their conduct but their determination to extort citizens will never let them agree. So, no amount of training can stop their misconduct but punishments

Okwyjesus:
Are you sure somebody is not hiding something. How can six suspects all died. Nobody to give information of what happened with Dozzman.

They're killed, they are dead, I believe that police were ambushed. The lie in there is that they sustained injury and died when security agents came under fire from the ambush. Security agents killed them in retaliation and to close that chapter

MarkNsukkaBread:
Those DNA statistics you see being bandied about are rubbish

You are educated, right? Those are the real statistics because it came out from the place where Nigerians are doing DNA testing unlike the ones that are coming out from NBS

Leave them. Anybody who says he can't worship God, she will end up worshipping little gods. They're out there serving as side chicks to sugar daddies, they prefer it that way

hegelian:
see what we have reduced ourselves to.. our humanity is gone and all we have left is dick measurement..yourba this, igbo that..we dont even care again.our thieving leaders have suceeded..god save us all

You want to talk about humanity? The real humanity should have been found in his wife who stopped feeding him because he was unable to provide like before and the friends and neighbours who knew what he was passing through but refuse to help him. Leave social media humanity first

DeJoeee:
Guys try and be helping people in any little way you can. There's so much hunger and frustration out there.
Recently, I have stopped buying some items in malls so I can patronize the women selling fruits and other perishables. I cant even remember the number of times I sent out urgent 5k, 10k, 15k etc. to help people this month alone. It's so tiring.

It is good but remember that in many malls, the products they're selling there are owned by individual retailers too, they just paid for space inside the malls.

iwaeda:
Unfortunately people are still supporting APC, thinking Nigeria is getting better. The day, God will allow wickedness to visit them cometh soon.

Who are in the APC and who are the people in other parties? Abeg, stop that.

caleboxylic:
Tell your hamas to release the hostages. All these propangada won't stop the destruction of Gaza city in the coming weeks.
Fluconazole You guys have started pushing famine propangada as IDF has started destroying the last strong hold of Gaza. Nothing will stop IDF from driving Hamas and all Iran sponsored terrorist out of levant.

Are you a human being at all? Are you living and you have access to the internet? Do they watch cable TV in your house?
It is not about Hamas and it is not about hostages, never has been. The hostages that IDF has long ago bombed to hell. It is about Palestinian land. Israel government and her citizens don't even hide their determination. For them, it is either Palestinians agree to forceful ejection from their own land or stay to get wipe out.
Israel government believes that for the first time, they are close to reaching their goal. That's why it will be difficult to get them stop at this point unless American government pull the leash.

And the world is still looking helplessly while pretending like they're not even aware of anything and the Israel government with the help of US government continue their mass killings, genocide, total destruction of buildings and starvation of Palestinians. Arab nations, shame on you

PEDR0:
Since he is not poor but doesn't know how to manage his family. He can open a business for his wife then.

I told him to let one bus be paying to the wife's bank account and he should be responsible for monitoring and maintenance. I told him like three times but he found it difficult to release one bus.

Does he have a nuclear or an extended family?

Nuclear family. One of the kids is already a millionaire, probably richer than the dad. And you could easily guess their relationship now.

Mehn! All the arrested six men sustained injuries and all died on their way to the hospital!!
What actually happened was that all the six arrested suspects were killed in anger after the alleged hijacking was unsuccessful. Same thing happened in Osun state some years back when the hijacking of prisoners from the prison van by their colleagues failed, the suspects/prisoners were executed on the spot

Hamachi:
And that’s exactly the problem with some men — they mistake physical investments for true responsibility. Owning four houses and 20 buses doesn’t mean much if your wife and children are left to struggle with basic needs. A man’s first “investment” should be in his home, because a hungry family and neglected children will never celebrate you for how many assets you have outside.

It’s like building a mansion but refusing to fix the leaking roof in your own bedroom. Yes, assets are good, but what’s the use when your children can’t boast of proper care or your wife feels abandoned? True wealth isn’t only counted in properties; it’s measured in how well you provide comfort, security, and dignity for those who depend on you daily.

At the end of the day, buses and houses can be sold or lost, but the love and respect of your family is priceless — and once that is gone, no amount of “investments” can buy it back.

Thank you.
If a man with no or little physical investments but who takes care of his family dies, his wife and kids will mourn him despite leaving little or nothing behind for them. But if a man who doesn't take care of his family dies and leaving huge physical investments behind for them, do you agree that they will inherit all the properties but still won't mourn him or miss him?

NuCypher:
Why should anyone respect this man? It continues to baffle me why that should be the case. The same man whose trucks kill tens, if not hundreds, of people every year, and nothing ever gets done. Lives erased at the drop of hat; promising school children killed at bus stops. yet, his slow capitalist machine keeps moving. No accountability, no compensations, no justice. Then add on top the horrendous monopolistic moves he makes to ensure his competitors never see the light of day, and God knows the amount of scheming he does by cozying up to the people in power so that he can always stay one step above the law. Even here, you can see it. Already sucking up to the military president and not to the people of Nigeria, all in a bid to stay close to power and have it favour him. This man is the devil, despite his money. Sadly, Nigerians will never see that. In a country blinded by poverty, the one-eyed rich man is king!

Conspiracy theorists are the worst set of human beings. Do you know how many investors obtained refinery licenses before Dangote? He single handedly put a stop to our shame of being an oil producing nation without functioning refinery.
His trucks Kill people but is it for fun? His trucks kill people, so are other trucks belonging to other companies. May be that of his companies is more frequent because he has more trucks. But you can't understand if you don't have an idea how large his fleet of trucks is. His cement companies in Ogun and kogi states alone have nothing less than 7,000 trucks, cement transport alone!

SmartPolician:
I'm just wondering - how is this newsworthy?

Everyone started somewhere.

You think this is not newsworthy? Really? Are you a bitter soul or you don't understand the subject?

Not his fault, it is the fault of USA government that is sponsoring and financing that nation of terrorists

affable4:
Just wondering how you refer to terrorists as bandits.

“Terrorists” that’s what they are. Bandits steal mainly, terrorists terrorize, they kill for fun .

We can’t continue this way, allowing the death of citizens just to please a few people.

Ditto to those in the Southeast.

Imagine! Wiping out a whole family of 15, burning them alive alongside their house. What is the gain of these madmen?

mightyhazel:
What's the life span of flies again? Abi the flies will reproduce offsprings there

Not only flies are in the spacecraft. If flies die out within the few days, study will continue with the rest of the organisms

Hamachi:
I understand why it looked irritating, but sometimes things aren’t as straightforward as they appear. For some people, it’s not always poverty mindset—it could be habit, upbringing, or even a way of trying to manage the home. Maybe he grew up in an environment where food had to be carefully rationed or where quarrels easily started if someone felt cheated.

Also, not everyone sees meat or food as “just food.” In many homes, meat represents fairness and respect. If one person takes more than the other, it can spark unnecessary fights, so some people go the extra mile to monitor it. It may look extreme, but from his perspective, he could be trying to avoid conflict.

Rather than seeing it as madness, it might be more of insecurity or poor communication between him and his wife. A healthier approach would be for them to openly agree on how food is shared, so no one feels shortchanged.

My colleague that we're in the same line of business is not poor: four houses and over 20 commercial buses but he is like the person that guy narrated in the story. I said and did everything that I could say or do to make provisions of basic needs of his family a priority but he just find it difficult to shoulder. All he ever wanted to do with his every kobo is physical investments

DonBenny77:
Mumu
You no gree learn from Dbanj and wande mistake....

Many people would even advised him against the decision at the time but he wouldn't listen

poiZon:
No, we r trying to be equally stupid and foolish like them back then

Wahala

Kingpele:
Is basically untrue ....I have never cheated on my wife since 14years now not because of money but perhaps discipline... if u want to be rich don't rate sex but appreciate your wife who loved u when you are still entering bus or keke ,before you become a landlord with cars

Buoda!! This is fallacy!

[b] ....sex is basically intimacy not for fun.... but the best of all fear God ,he will give you the wisdom to navigate life challenges as it come.....

Sex is for everything, depends on what you want it to be

poiZon:
U been call out shettima when he co planned n abducted chibok school girls?
Abi when kabiru sokoto was found in his lodge in abuja?

Una dey compete with crimes covering up now?

Racheal45:
Naija no good again am telling u the truth

The painful part most kidnapper are friends to the community leaders

Nackzy:
Nigeria no good for Nigerians again, I wish we can change country easily

Say the truth and it shall set you free. That's IPOB doing, all the Nairalanders supporting IPOB criminals should be proud of their good work now
