Good investment.

You buy expensive precious stones and gold ornaments such that you can resell it... perhaps at a higher price whenever you need money.

Loool


No disrespect sir but you know very little about the diamond industry. The value of any diamond tanks by over 200% the moment it leaves the store. Davido will never go broke. We don’t pray for anyone’s downfall but should he just wanna resell it, he’ll not get even a quarter of the actual value

P.s. I’ve bought and sold diamonds! They’re worthless!

She can't just be left to go since death is involved

And how is that her fault?

For the sake of unity, peace and progress, ibos should be given a chance to run the affairs of this nation at its highest levels (presidency).

While I do not expect any significant change in the affairs of Nigeria, I am very confident that ibos like soludo, ngozi okonjo iweala and other prominent ibo men and woman that have legally built their wealth and well exposed can turn this country for the better.

We do not need a Tinubu or a Buhari in office.

Even if the next president is from the north, let it be the ousted EFCC chairman (under obasanjo tenure).

Even if it’s from the west, let it be a prominent and respected son of the soil e.g (the former minister of agriculture... can’t remember his name.


All I’m saying is that there are competent people from every region but it’s not tinubu, Buhari or rochas!

Iheanacho should be in Barca or Real Madrid

I disagree! Iheanacho is a good striker but he’s not a “versatile” striker. He needs a team that can play his style and a coach that reassured him and believes in him in order for his shine to truly emerge. Barca or Madrid is for players that are fully established and it will be hard for him to fit in those places.

Nice one from the Nigeria Defence Academy. Most of them have become a demigod to an extent they can go about blocking the road and insulting people's father because nobody “cowardly Nigerians cannot“ do them anything.

Fixed!

RisenPhoenix:
That is what I also do when I'm compelled to attend a seminar or meeting that I know is of no benefit to me. I don't blame them; the whole impeachment jamboree is one big radical leftist farce.

This is what happens when women lead a party people. Watch and learn.

Lol! Have you ever left your village?

I am no fan of buhari in anyway but inclusion of Nigeria in the travel ban list is nothing but racism!

I will never understand why Nigerians support trump, a known and verified racist. It's even more ridiculous when you realize that Saudi arabia, the proven number sponsor of wahabism and terrorism in the world do not have their citizens put on a travel ban list. Rather Saudi military personnels are trained in the US and their government supplied with weapons and logistics to commit genocide in Yemen. BUT Nigerian immigrants who make a huge bulk of highly successful integrated list in the US and who have been actual victims of terror get put on a list?!! Absolute madness!

Any nigerian that celebrates this as some good news because of your hate of the government should have their heads checked. If you think this travel ban will only affect northerners, think again!

And sincerely, if you are black and you are a trump fan-boy, you are a dunce!

You don’t think like a typical Nigerian.
Most of them are idiots!

You are talking like this because you are far from the reality of the current happening in Nigeria. Amotekun is program to defend the territory of Yoruba land against Fulani Jihad. Bro wake up before it is too late

Thank you for being respectful. A lot of people have insulted me. I am not against Amotekun but I am against the absence of publicized guidelines and how they are allowed to interact with citizens and the rights of citizens. I am against the absence of ethical hotline to report misdeeds. I am against the absence of overall checks to ensure their authority is not abused. In the absence of checks, abuse is inevitable. Amotekun is a laudable project showing that the south is in thinking in the right direction but I also grew up in the ghetto and saw how OPC operated without recourse to the laws of the land. I saw how they butchered and lynched people. Then, if you had a problem with an OPC guy, you’re as good as dead. Personally, I lost a friend during that period. He was less than 20 and a barber. I have seen how these things can break down into further oppression of you and I. My support for Amotekun is conditional.

The reason I don’t support Amotekun

Anyone that grew up in the ghettos of Lagos will remember that OPC reigned supreme during the 90’s - early 00s and also butchered people indiscriminately on the flimsiest of accusation.

I vividly remember the charred bodies of young men that lined up our streets almost every day and would remain there for weeks until it either goes back to the earth or is picked up by the relevant agencies.

I remember the OPC traffic stops where they’d have people disembark from the danfo and proceed to separate non-yorubas. Some get accused of being “armed robbers” which is an instant death sentence.

I remember the murder of my friend. He was a humble barber and street kid just like me. I came back from my car wash hussle to learn he was murdered by OPC after his landlord accused him of being an armed robber.
He dragged out of his house in the mid day, beaten to stupor and then set ablaze. His properties were looted and the remnants discarded.

I remember these things vividly.
While Amotekun is a good idea, what are the checks and balances to ensure they do not devolve into the immoral and wicked acts of the state sponsored OPC in the 90s.

I know I’ll get insulted for this but this is my true life story in the ghettos of Lagos. Amotekun is a NO for me unless there are sufficient checks and balances.

Who do we report to if there happens to be abuse of authority?

What are the checks and balances to ensure erring members are severely punished?

What trainings do the undergo to be able to deal with people professional and discharge their duties adequately?

Until there is a solid guideline on Amotekun, this is an effort that will lead to further abuse and oppression of the Nigerian people.

It’s crazy though!!!


We are celebrating an uncompleted bridge that is less than 10kms in total length.
While the symbolism of the bridge can not be overemphasized, I don’t think it’s work any pomp and pageantry!

Why are people harassing them? They don’t seem to enjoy the attention. Not fair!

We need more women in public offices.

However we need checks and balances which has never really existed!

We can’t have our women do all the work but exclude them from public offices. We need to operate a more inclusive society for women, children, men of all class, stature and ability. That’s the only way we can truly grow!

False

I don’t think I’m as rich as the victim but I know to use lawyers/agents but if I must do it myself, I’d have atleast 2 shooters with me

Legit businessmen often erroneously believe that they have nothing to worry about. He acted naive and paid the price. Rip

Incredible

This is not based on any law. Owner of property is responsible for taxes period.

Lol! It’s a sellers market buddy!

The market in Lagos is over saturated I literally have my agent turning down applications if our requirements are not met to the very last letter

Any one who commits suicide or who had committed suicide before is a weakling.


A real being solves his/her problems and doesn't run away from it.

Weakling U must not know what that word means!
Do you know what it takes to end your own life?
Try to conceptualize it! It’s hard as fucccck and no one would want to do that unless they’ve truly given up hope. The only difference between us and them is that we are still cowardly enough to hold on to non-existent hope!

Thank goodness Russia won't allow misleading cheers of terrorist Muslim nations and your likes to push to challenge US to war.


Russia have technology yes....but Russia cannot afford to prosecute a full blown war with US, their citizens will die of hunger and surrender in 6 weeks!


Russia have nukes, yes but have you seen a situation where two people wants to fight, one tries to pull out a dagger to stab the other and he wasn't even allowed to pull out his dagger to talk of stabbing the other person That is what US will do to Russia, Russia will be struggling to detonate their nukes and the war will be over with it lol


Russia have not fought and won any war solely on their own, but US has been fighting and winning wars since 1920s till date, so experience matters...they have full military base that can challenge any nation in almost all part of the world....they have allies, they have global economy in their palms and they control global currency and politics, so who is Russia to challenge US in a one on one war

Don't get me wrong, I love Russia because they are good technologically....but don't compare them with US in a conventional warfare.

My only problem with Russia is their support for terrorist sponsoring nations in the Middle-East, they need to watch it

Best comment. Funny, witty and intelligent!
People genuinely think that USA with military spendings that are higher than all the top 15 country military spending put together will loose to Russia!

Looool!!!! With the tech and advancement US military have made, Russia would wave the white flag within the first year of fighting!
