DomPerignon:
This was the 90s.

Kidnapping was unheard of at that time.

Kidnapping for ransom only became a thing following the Niger Delta militants success in using it on oil workers to push their political demands and this was in the 2,000s.

santaclaws:
LOL dey play... Money ritual is very real. There are so many people in this country spending blood money.

I pray you or your loved ones don't become victims.

OriOko88:
I know a deranged person will type this bullshit. U woke fools would come online and that dishing out ignorant narrative. Even ur father can never say there's no money ritual. Odee

ada9ja:

DomPerignon:
419 at that time involved the very most intelligent people most of whom had working experience in the financial sector.



Old school 419 was a game for those who knew the financial workings of the time.

This Ezegwu of a guy was a tout and wanted armed robber in his community in Anambra only to suddenly become rich over night .

I am ruling out drugs because the then head of the NDLEA Bamayi was clamping down hard on drug Barons and traffikers.

This is the fastest way for Nigerian music industry to die.

You will deafen it to death. Controversies like this keeps the industry alive.

Currently Nigeria music is best in Africa.

You just want to stifle it using regulation.

EasternActivist:
You're wrong 💯
How can you conclude the tribe is igbo when the criminals are still on the run.

Dey deceive yourself

Maybe they are Russians ?

XerXers:
We all know your tribe is trying so hard in vain to cause conflict in the east

CrossRhodes:

ajepako:
I totally agree with you bro..

But that diss track Portable composed against Bobrisky is the only good thing he did I can associate him with..

Probably because I share his view about Bobrisky's nuisance and emerging influence and effect on our young ones.

The ' diss ' really entered!

EasternActivist:
Are you high
Does crime know any tribe?

E pain you
He is right though....This time you cant blame any other tribe.

Are muslim lives that worthless

Isreal kills you and you will beat empty chest in stupid defiance

chiagozien:
But all terrorists are Muslim?

tolexy007:
two artist show i can never attend even if u give me their ticket free Portable and Darlington .

JAMO84:
Children of Casino and betnaija are always here cheering Nathanyahu and his terrorist American President Joe Byedin.

Anybody can kill civilians with $1 trillion American weapon, but nobody can kill the truth behind the genocide and land stealing atrocities of the despicable Zionists.

Nigerian Christians love it when muslims are being massacred anywhere in the world. A terror supporter is also a terrorist.

atiku4President:
Nonsense and ingredients write-up. Your terrorist colleagues are being slaughtered and you still get mouth.

MsIjeoma:
Do you think the current economic downturn is a theoretical exercise? Because it's not. It is a lived reality for millions of Nigerians. Every week that passes we see the rising prices, the dwindling purchasing power, the unemployment, and the general despair. These are not "anecdotal" observations. They are the cold, hard facts of our daily lives. So I will repeat again, we really don't need a PhD to recognize when the economy is failing.



Okay. Very good. Now allow me to use your analogy and reframe the context so that you can understand where I'm coming from. Now I would argue that yelling "fire!" in that room is not intended to cause mindless panic, no. The goal of yelling fire in this scenario is just to sound an alarm and bring attention to a very serious issue. It's not necessarily about fixing the problems overnight but about creating dialogue and inspiring action to be taken.



Your problem in this discussion is that you have taken it upon yourself to play the role of the tone police. There's nothing Davido said that is new knowledge, and please let's not forget that it's not Davido's words that are hurting everyday Nigerians, but the corrupt leaders and systems that have led to the country's economic struggles. Thank you.



No one disputes any of this. However, I just think it's funny how you're more concerned with the tone of Davido's message than the actual substance of his claim. Moreover your concern for accountability is a bit misplaced, if you ask me. True accountability is the government addressing the systemic failures that have led to this economic catastrophe.



Sorry sir. You're right, no vex. We should all just shut up and let the experts like you figure it all out. Abi what could a struggling Nigerian like me possibly know about my own reality? You, with your ivory tower perspective, are clearly the authority on my suffering. Thank you sir.



No problem. But I'd argue that speaking out against the issues plaguing our economy is, in itself, a form of solution-finding because that's how we keep these topics relevant and make it known that it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, as opposed to sugarcoating or watering down the harsh realities the common man is facing.

Justnation:
Shut up there, the date says 2021.

Tinubu has done no good only evil everywhere

MsIjeoma:
Madam Nihmat, not everybody has a PhD in Economics but some of us have a PhD in REAL LIFE. We're not blind and we don't tell ourselves lies. We can all see what's going on in Nigeria and we're not afraid to speak out. You can't silence us with your armchair criticism.

MsIjeoma:
You're just ranting all over the place in bold red letters without addressing the elephant in the room. Wetin concern Grammys and OON awards with this topic now? How are they in any way relevant to the discussion of the economy? The problem with some of you armchair critics here on this forum is that you don't even have a solid grasp of logic and argumentation in the first place. Instead of sticking to the topic, you just throw around meaningless red herrings because you don't want to hear the truth. Abeg abeg let's not use the idea of patriotism as an excuse to be biased and make sentimental judgements.

Let us even grant your claim that Davido has benefitted immensely from the country. Ok, and? How does this deny him the right to freely express his opinion on the state of the country's economy? If you want to make an actual argument, then attack the message, and not the messenger. Point out the logical faults within Davido's statement. Scrutinize his claims objectively. Don't come and start talking about Grammys and think you're contributing anything meaningful to the discussion. Launching personal attacks on Davido and referencing his family's wealth and business dealings is just you arguing with yourself. You're not actually saying anything to debunk what he said.

SoftBread01:
Hmm!
