Wooow..... Yoruba Amaka lol! I feel slight envy that so much talent can come from one west African tribe but I am extremely proud that they have Nigerian descent. I can brag to my foreign friends about them looool!! |
Gabaleve:I have friends that can help you. The challenge they face is that once people get their money, they do not agree to show up in court and testify against those officers! Will you be willing to testify against those officers? |
mpire:Ehyaaa..... Nigeria no favour you so your frustration too much! Calm down! Tomorrow is monday... get ready to ride your AC public bus to work and don't die of COVID!! #naijatillikpai!! |
Ejusni:Do you have up to 50k naira in your bank account? My friend shut up. You are a poor man!! Hating on a 12 year old lol!!! Ode!! |
mpire:Well, i wasn't driving drunk. I was charged with DUI cos i had unopened bottles of wine in the car! I am not looking for any sympathy; only shared my experience as i remotely understand what hush is dealing with and hopefully,naive visitors like me will not make same mistake..... Like i also said, the charges got drop and i am currently working on my EB-5 visa which by all indication, is still going smoothly.... |
tiswell:this was what she said,"Mothers should be advised against leaving their female children alone with the opposite sex". Clearly the girl is smarter than you lol! |
QuickStandard:No, she doesn't lack manners. She spoke like any child would..... she spoke her truth without thinking of its impact!! |
Ejusni:So much hate and anger towards someone you’ve never met! Poor Nigerians are the worst I swear! How do I know you’re poor? Cos there’s no way on earth you rich and exposed and still think like this! It’s a thinking style reserved exclusively for the poor and miserable! Did you look at her godamn hair? West African hair is kinky not curly or straight!! She definitely has some different genes in her and I’d say definitely Asian. Is it South Korean? I don’t know! |
I love her personality already and i have neither met her nor watched any movie she was featured in. What a bright child!!! Can't wait to see you blossom!! |
Primus123:Nope!! They are not government lawyer! The only lawyers that work for the government are the prosecutors!! Court appointed lawyers are those apply to help offer legal representation to people without the financial means to do so. The court then pays them a stipend for their efforts. I think it is 500$ per case the last time i checked. I spent the last 2 months fighting a DUI case in Texas. Spent a lot of money in order to get the case dropped. Through my travails, i got schooled in the American legal system. This place is unforgiving and as soon as this lock down is lifted; i will be on the first flight back home. Nigerian embassy in U.S. has entirely abandoned people that were unfortunate enough to be outside Nigeria before the crises. i have been in the U.S. for over 5 months even though i went for a 1 month business trip in March and was supposed to return end of April. sighs* |
I don't know why Hush is making this move but i will only assume it is due to financial considerations. The importance of hiring a seasoned and high profile lawyer is not because they can argue lost cases. Its simply because these lawyers often know well placed people within the judiciary system that and can often leverage their relationship to get their clients (the accused) a better deal. They often charge hefty fees from $500 to $1,500++ per hour. A court appointed lawyer is simply a "charge and bail" lawyer provided to the those without the means to pay for a private lawyer. A court appointed lawyer may be vested in your case but they often have incredibly high case loads and cannot give everyone the attention they need to overcome their legal travails. They always recommend you plead guilty or "no-contest" and leave you at the mercy of the court system. As a non-American and also black, the chances of Hush beating this case is extremely bleak and the fact he is settling for a court appointed lawyer makes me feel his assets have been frozen or he does not have any means to bring funds to the U.S. I do not condone Fraud as this makes it harder to do business with the rest of the world but Hushpuppi is a Nigerian. We condemn the crime but we must never support outsiders choosing to prosecute our citizens for crimes they committed. If the crime was committed on US soil, it is a different ball game. But it was committed outside US soil with victims from all over the world. We must all call for Judicial reforms in Nigeria whereby, the common man can expect a speedy and honest justice in every circumstance. Lets not forget John Mitchener, a White American that is currently in Nigeria and has defrauded Nigerian companies to the tune of Billions of Naira. His activities contributed to some major Nigerian companies going bankrupt. Our law enforcement agencies granted him bail while quietly allowing him to work with the US embassy to scurry out of Nigeria. Must we keep bowing to the White man Hushpuppi's fraud is not even a fraction of what Mr John stole but he is facing 20-life while mr John is patted on the back and sent back to US. where is the BBC article, where is the CNN article, where are the bloggers ? smh! |
veave:Very wise response. Anyone that has been through life and isn’t entitled, will feel what you just said to the core. God bless! |
There is nothing to see here!! The American that defrauded Nigerians to the tune of billions of dollars was granted bail in Nigeria and probably working his way back to the US where he will not be prosecuted. Our boys are held without bail and given incredibly long sentences. |
Laslaslala:[b]I take an exception to the bolded because that was irrelevant and tbh, pointless. You can have a meaningful conversation and also disagree without being vituperative. The major flaw in your business model is that you assumed she’s the only one scouting for talents all over Africa and beyond. Even if she manages to find any grade A talent, they’ll be snatched up by a bigger team before they even sign a contract. If you’re basing the success of the z league club and it’s ability to snag talent, then that club will fail. The wiser option would have been 1-to invest in Nigerian premier league, scout for the best talents in Nigeria and package them for the highest bidders all over the world. 2- invest in a top tier club and own some stake where she gets paid off the profits. I’ve been in business for so long and I know that while this may be a legit venture, there is absolutely no reasonableness behind buying a z league club. At least not from a financial gains perspective. [/b] |
Money laundering? Cos it makes very little sense to buy a league Z club! |
Shame on our police for granting him bail! Even hush puppi that is being crucified no even do reach this guy! Next thing, America will come to rescue her citizen. We should trade for Hushpuppi! Otherwise, he is to be tried and imprisoned in Nigeria and sentenced to the same amount of time Hush would get.... we see oyibo man, the next thing we begin now and act like they are gods! Mad thing! |
It will end in tears for the NDDC guy. He may have the guns and backing of militants but reps have the backing of the Judicial system. While things rarely ever work in Nigeria, I’ve seen that when our leaders really mean to do something, it gets done so well. NDDC was supposed to help Niger deltans. Unfortunately, even indigenes the oil rich states in Niger delta are mostly living below poverty line. They loot it all, they drive bentleys and rolls Royce, they call themselves “oil big boys” but the next man in their community Dey waste. That one no be life I swear!! |
ednut1:Hell yes!! If God blesses my business and it grows to the level I envision where people will seek internship, I wouldn’t care if you’re 40 or 100. As long as you can do the job as delegated and willing to learn. You must also be comfortable working with people from every tribe and religion and be respectful of everyone regardless of their status in the firm. God will see me there cos I know I’ve paid my dues for the longest. |
Why do you share gory pics? I mean, it’s not like her family don’t know where she’s at! Let’s respect people’s grieve |
YelloweWest:Whenever you see this, reply my message let’s talk. What is your contact detail or email? |
DanseMacabre:Every race and region have problems that are unique to them. It’s got absolutely nothing to do with race. |
Nawaooo That guy is there bleeding out, People are around him taking pictures. Collectively, they have more than enough resources to get him to a hospital, or Atleast check his pulse or lay him on the side to clear his airways. At first glance, there’s a good chance he’s still alive and clinging on to life but unconscious and may just suffocate on his own blood! Rather than help, they’d prefer to take pictures and post online. The reasoning of most Nigerians is just extremely backwards! During my undergraduate days, a woman was in a bike accident, everyone thought she was dead and as usual( they gathered around her and saying “this woman will not die in Jesus name”. I was taking a bike to my cousin’s place when I saw the crowd and decided to see what’s going on. As soon as I made my way to the front, I immediately sprung into action, felt for her pulse, asked the people to move back to allow enough air circulation, then I too off my shirt used my unsterilized clothe to Apply pressure to the place blood was gushing from. Her pulse was really faint and her body morbidly cold. My actions slowed down the bleeding and then I called on a bike man (a spectator) to take us to hospital, the bike man ran away. Eventually, a car was made available by a nearby hospital after about an hour or so. My actions that day stopped her from bleeding out and that woman is still alive today thanks to my quick thinking and action. God bless the good people in Nigeria. Shame on the rest. The Nairaland admins should stop moving gory pics like this to the front page. What if it was your brother or sister or mother or father? Or loved ones and friends that have their last last moments on earth shared for online likes and comments... we all have to collectively do better |
Sportwin:Though the 3 of them were murdered and faced significant trauma, only one of them was raped and tortured before murder. Please change your way of thinking! I just want to see justice done! |
Lol.... What a joke |
goshen26:This is deep and would go over the head of 99.9% of nairalanders! |
saajus:The club asked, “how they can help Nigerians”. A lot of people selfishly went in there to request for funds to be paid directly to their account rather than requesting for something that would benefit as many people as possible. - food bank - recruiting talents increasingly from Nigeria - supply of medical equipment - building an isolation centre - youth empowerment program (e.g scholarships based on athletic abilities) So many things thy could have said but the first thing they thought about was themselves and their bank accounts! |
Different rules for different people! One for the political class and one for the masses! Shame on this country! We are failing in everything. Any society that does not foster equity and justice can never have peace! |
After humiliating Funke and JJC, they still go ahead and violate the same rule they punish others for! My country Epitomizes a society without justice! Such society can never have peace. E.g. the founder of Boko haram was the extrajudicially executed; today we have a Boko Haram that is 1million times more deadly. Ken saro wiwa was executed on the orders of a kangaroo court, today we have militant groups well armed and able to bring the country to its knees. Corruption was neglected and even praised, today we have one of the poorest countries on earth. A country without justice can never have peace. |
Growing up in Lagos, I can’t count how many times I saw a dead boy on the road side. Anything could’ve caused the man’s death. Let’s allow the NCDC do their job and get in front of the situation by avoid panic and rumors! |
Nice one! Shutdown is not for poor countries like Nigeria. Enforce the use of PPEs (e.g mask and gloves) and make healthcare accessible for all! Make it a punishable offense for businesses to fire employees taking take off for their health. That’s how we should do it! This shut down is for countries where majority can afford to stock up on a week supply of food! The average Nigerian lives hand to mouth and even those that can stickup don’t have power supply!! |
