What do they mean by there was no mean to? How him wan take enter Forbes?

LOL.

Olayetan:
Some billionaires today are sef made from Yahoo.

Some will hit hard and go legit, but many of them are fools who goes astray.

Yes they grow into billionaires before they crash, but that is not my point. Hushpuppi was a billionaire.
But never felt it wise to invest in a sustainable business.
That hotel business would have been an excellent business idea.

Dangrace01:
Invictus obi had investment

He started his investment and business LOOOOOONG before he ventured into fraud.
That is why many people who knew him were angry at what he did. There was no need to.

adolfHitler1934:
Nigerians are the worst amongst the black race. He is wicked even unto himself. He can do anything and everything to make money. He converts drugs meant for dying patients and the needy to himself and sells it for his personal enrichment. He pockets money meant for the provision of drinking water in his community. Road in his community are constructed shabby with substandard materials, he shares the rest of the money with his goons in government.
Money meant for the feeding and those animals must have been steadily going into some corrupt officials pockets since ages.

State officials and criminals hiding behind computers loot, some recovered and re looted by those who are meant to be clean.
You and I shouting and condemning the whole shameful act are not even left out because if given the opportunity we will do same if not worse.

We need a re orientation of our national life beginning from home. Children should be indoctrinated right from home at a tender age to know that corruption is wrong and a shame to the family. They should be able to ask their parents how they come about huge sums of money living luxurious lifestyle even though their salaries are less.

The faith of those animals are in God's hands because Nigerians have failed them. They would have been better off in the wild living their life than being kept among Nigerians.

Tufiakwa!

Nigerians are this way because, generally, no one believes in Nigeria. Unless we want to pretend to ourselves, this is the truth. Nigerian leaders havent been able to provide a compelling reason for nationalist pride. Even when there are glimpses of it, etc Obj, GEJ, tribalism takes over and the tribalists destroy whatever nationalism is left. When there is a belief in the country and the path it is taking, citizens will personally take it upon themselves to drive the values you talk about. Go to Ghana, go to Rwanda, go to Gambia and see how their citizens behave. It comes from belief in the leadership and the direction of the State.

Nobody saw a billionaire in Hushpuppi some 15 years ago when he roamed the dusty streets of Oworonshoki, Lagos, looking to wash cars for a paltry N100, and later returning to a food joint where he had beans and bread on credit.

In a philosophical reflection, using himself as a case study, he touched on how a child could feel rejected because of his poor background in his widely circulated 2017 “Letter to the Ghetto Kid”. It was about the same year Hushpuppi became a household name, as he had started using his social media page to flaunt his wealth.

With a sense of pride, Ramon Abass, whose dad drove a taxi and mum sold bread by the roadside in Oworonshoki, would say he represents “every underprivileged kid of the world and especially of Nigeria and of Lagos and of Bariga and of Oworonshoki — where a landlord had chased me and my family out of a rented room.”

Of course, now sounding like someone who has made it in life, he concluded by advising that “dejected kid” not to give up, just like he never did.
Entering stardom, Hushpuppi claimed to be into real estate but this had been trailed by skepticism, with many wondering how the 37-year-old had maintained a luxurious lifestyle for years — from acquiring the latest automobiles, including Rolls-Royce and Ferrari, to hiring private jets to take him holidaying across the best spots in the world.

It didn’t come much as a surprise in June when he was arrested in Dubai, where he was based, with 11 of his associates over email scams known in the Nigerian parlance as Yahoo-Yahoo.

In the special operation dubbed “Fox Hunt 2”, the Dubai police had tracked Hushpuppi for about four months, and upon his arrest, it was alleged that the crimes committed outside the UAE, included money laundering, cyber fraud, hacking, impersonation, banking fraud and identity theft worth Dh1.6 billion (an estimated N168 billion).

The police also revealed that 1,926,400 victims were targeted by the syndicate.

Subsequently extradited to the US for trial on money laundering, his lawyer, however, insisted that Hushpuppi “became rich through real estate.”

The real estate claim is what some residents of Ogunyomi street in Oworonshoki would dismiss.

I have never seen a yahoo boy who's invested his/ her proceeds from fraud into some sustainable business. Why is this so, dear Yahoo Boys?

Fantasticcc:
so sad,human lives now meaningless in Nigeria.how did I end up with this set of people.
This country should just disintegrate abeg.

Did it start today? Have we forgotten or we want to pretend to ourselves?
The first ethnoreligious massacre happened prior to Independence. In Kano and in Jos.

foxxydude:
Benin City was the capital of Mid-Western Nigeria

Thank you.
Benin City, Auchi, Mid-Western Nigeria.

Asianjollof007:
Hol'am there, mr. knowledge. You people are funny ehn, when it's crime related issue you remember history.. Always trying to link yoruba race with every crime news posted on this forum. Edo people are your brothers, don't deny them now.

I’m here to help correct people like yourselves. People like yourselves that will be defending another Auchi man, Oshiomole, left, right and centre.
If you want to be a bigot, at least be factual about your bigotry.

Asianjollof007:
Thanks for revealing the name. Nonetheless, this case is still a family matter. They are going to be part of your "dream" country!

Your are embarrassing yourself with your poor or should I say, terrible knowledge of Nigeria’s history.
Edo was part of the Mid West Region. The capital of that region was Benin City.
And not Old Eastern Nigeria region, which is what you are referring to.

Go and read a book please. The fact that you weren’t taught history in school is no longer an excuse. There are many books you can buy.

iamgprince:
Though i am an igbo boy but it doesn't stop me from saying that we igbos (esp. lower class) are one of the most wicked and evil set of beings on earth,

Upon interrogation, Moses a 27-year-old native of Auchi, said his friend’s ghost had been hunting him since the day he killed him.
Auchi is a key area in Edo State.

While you are a "fake" Igbo man.
An Igbo man never says, "I am an igbo boy.." Igbonness isnt mentioned. When you write, we know.
You are fake. A BMC. And we all know .

Asianjollof007:
Na dem! Selfishness and greediness runs in their blood. Their head like zuma rock, i won't mention name.

Moses, his friend and colleague from Auchi did the murder.
Auchi is a key LGA in Edo State.

The dead person is from Imo State .
I have helped you mention the name.

ogbonti:
GEJ wanted to set a precedence of “non interference” BUT the person he allowed to enjoy this privilege is an “Animal in human skin”

before you insult me - go ask Fela ooo

Dont be in a haste. I do not insult people .
I understand that those who are unsuccessfully trying to equate GEJ to Beau Harry were all Buharists who are in some form of regret. So i dont insult them. I actually empathise with them.

MENELIIK:
Yes, GEJ did not use it. The uniform personnel that stopped Oshiomole and other ACN big wigs in Ekiti when Fayose defeated an incumbent Fayemi were doing rehearsals

Yes GEJ did not use it.
Else he would have easily won in 2015.

Righteousness89:
Nigeria Amaka !!

It's high time we delete and eradicate this tribal nonsense on this platform!

Until we disintegrate, we Remain one Nation!

Until we disintegrate, We Remain Nigeria and Nigerians..

Recognising the true ethnic background of an individual is not "tribalism" or "tribal nonsense".

Denying it is deceiving oneself, disingenuous and pretence.
Why should I be triggered when some correctly mentions he is Yoruba? Or she is Hausa?
Deal with your low self esteem! There are books that can help.

OkoAmarashy:
It's like you don't even understand how power of incumbency works. The state Governor of an opposition has zero power of incumbency do very little when elections are staggered. Remember what they did to Fayose when they locked him inside government house? Remember Amaechi as Minister double crossed Wike's convoy and some of the Policemen in Wike's convoy were harassed?

By the time they put 30,000 Policemen, 40,000 Soldiers and like 2,500 Sars, even Obaseki may not even see road to vote that day.

This is the power of incumbency GEJ refused to use.

Patrioticman007:
Its on record GEJ the Clueless President had power of imcubency, but failed at the general election. buying of votes with state resources won't solve their problems but an enabling business environment.

GEJ never used the "power" in his incumbency.
Of course you know this.
If he had used it as Buhari used it in 2019 and flooded the streets with soldiers and bullets, two things would have happened:
an uprising or GEJ wins bloodily, like Buhari did in 2019.
Frankly, if Obaseki used the "power" in his incumbency in this election, no one should complain.

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos



https://www.independent.ng/efcc-cant-function-effectively-with-agf-like-malami-junaid-mohammed/

Ask Junaid if he is happy for Malami to be replaced by a Justice Emeka Okafor or Justice Adeboye Akinyemi.

His response will tell you his real position.
He must be foolish to believe ALL Nigerians are foolish enough to be jazzed by the juju they’ve put on Tinubu and his apologists.

afube:
bold and courageous indeed! yet you allowed fulani to sit on your head for years....please give me a break.

The South West will defend our brother, Major-General Adeniyi at all cost.
You will see .

Racoon:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/403016-boko-haram-major-general-who-complained-of-inadequate-equipment-to-face-court-martial.html

I see Tinubu, Afenifere, South West APC and the entire South Westerners especially on social media to revolt and speak for their illustrious brother Major-General Adeniyi.
By the end of today, they will put up a statement and confront the North on this injustice. Why should someone be court martialed for speaking the truth in the fight for his country?
I trust the South West. They are bold and courageous. They wont take it.

Be deceiving yourself, Ma.

Ejima1:
I WAS SHOT ON PURPOSE BY MY COLLEAGUE BECAUSE I'M A SNIPER I KILLED MANY BOKO HARAM - Ex NIGERIA SOLDIER.

"I'm an ex soldier, we were fighting Boko haram, I'm a left handed person, my parents thought I was dead, I was fighting, one of our soldiers shot me on my waist, they spoke in hausa meaning that I killed Boko haram too much, they shot a woman and her daughter, i was trying to save her second child, i was running, they shot me."

"I was barely breathing, it took the grace of God for me to survive, when asked by Sandra the host whether he was shot on purpose, he replied that he was shot on purpose. I don't miss my target as a sniper, i'm one of the best snipers, I resigned because I don't want to serve the country again, I resigned, I have evidence, if they shoot you you will die and they will gain. Nigeria army needs to be investigated."

When we say this, people will say we are lying.
People dont really know what is going on in Nigeria.
Anyway, Tinubu and South West, thanks for bringing in Buhari and the APC

This video will be pulled off the internet. Believe me. Save it if you can.

Rexnegro:
u are just busy dodging the damn question... I rest then

You seem not to have seen my answer.
1. Your relationship and NOT your academic prowess is what gets you a political appointment- and by this I am referring to Special Advisers, SSAs, Chief of Staffs. Isnt this clear with Buhari's regime?
2. Ministerial, appointments at commisioner levels are also subject to relationships and recommendations. This is largely the case. Even if you are intellectually sound, you have to be RECOMMENDED.
This is basic politics. How on earth dont you know this?

Rexnegro:
are you now saying the governor don't have the power to appoint someone he doesn't know in person from afar and not from his state with more than qualified credentials ?

Oga that is not how it works.
When it comes to political appointments, no Governor uses LinkedIn or Naijahotjobs. They dont have HR offices.
It is first based on "relationships". Anything else is secondary.
Go and ask someone who is close to State governments in Nigeria.

Rexnegro:
guy u re wrong anybody can be appointed without all what you listed up there... was Dr ngozi invested in South Africa or lived there that South Africa wanted to make her their head of something...as long you have all the top-notch educational and political Experience to perform u can be appointed by any governor who deem it fit to appoint u... they have the constitutional power to do so.

If you know how political appointments are made you should know it is through connection- personal relationship or a relationship through someone that is close to the Governor and you are recommended.
You think it is through searching on LinkedIn ? Do Governors' offices have HR offices?
You guys dont really know how things work politically.

onoja12:
Our igbo brothers when are we going to start getting appointment given to other ethnic groups in your states.

When you travel there and actually live there instead of living in Lagos and expect an appointment from Enugu State.
Doesnt work like that sir.
That man who has been appointed speaks Hausa, has invested in Gombe State and has engaged in philantrophic gestures in Gombe and is a personal friend to the Gombe State governor. Have you done all these?

LadySarah:
Pls he isn't Igbo. Don't let mischief makers rile you up.

Ah thanks for clarifying.

In serious countries, she is a military asset that would be protected at all cost.
A military and a commercial jet pilot killed like a chicken?
Research institutes, companies and Universities in the West protects employees like CIA does to its assets (before their cover is blown).
In Nigeria, we leave them open and play our demonic tribal and ethnoreligious politics with their lives.
And we then continue to deceive ourselves.

SLAP44:
If I say this accident should be properly investigated, you will see people who will get mad and cry.

I cannot imagine how the pretty girl will sustain deadly head injuries for a car accident inside a naval base in the North?

Anyone that thinks this "accident" was ordinary, does not know what is happening within Nigeria.
Christian, Southern, Female as a fighter jet pilot? And young and brilliant?
You lots dont know your country. Or you know and you are pretending you dont, just to be safe.

donstan18:
Oh! My dear abiriba in Ohafia LGA.

Abia State are lucky to have you in their state, because if not for the existence of Ohafia and Ngwa in Abia state, Abia would have ended up as a 3rd class Igbo state like Ebonyi!

Ebonyi you insult is doing stratospherically better in terms of governance, infrastructure, anti-corruption, etc than Abia State.
Unless you want to deceive yourself, you should know this is true.
And hey, I am not even from Ebonyi State.

You better deliver like Lukaku did in order to reduce the monkey chants that will come your way, Victor.
Stay away from umuasa Italy (easier said than done) and you should be fine.
