Xisnin:
You are getting close.
Your first statement is that OBJ withheld Lagos state allocations for 2 years.
Now, you have refined your statement to local govt funds.
It is just one step left to make a true statement.

I could state which specific funds were withheld and which ones were untouched
but I suspect you know the answer. So, no need.

Stop this rigmarole and face facts. Dropping one liners claiming lies is useless to a useful discourse. If you have a point state it. Did OBJ withhold funds meant for Local Government? Yes or no? Which organ of the government was the fund payable to?

Guess what? It is useless and waste of time arguing with you.

Xisnin:
If you repeat a lie long enough, it will be accepted as truth by the gullible.

Obasanjo never withheld Lagos state allocations.
You probably know this but lying for lie's sake.
If you don't know, do proper research!

I still don't get you, save the long rhetoric. What exactly is the lie? Obj did not withhold funds due to local govt for 2yrs?

Xisnin:

Tomide007: :

The definition of greed had his state allocation blocked by Obasanjo for yrs because of personal reasons. Tinubu still did not owe a single salary, he immediately brought up all revenue collection agencies that we have in Lagos today. He's very influential, but I don't think he's as greedy as people think.

Lies.
Stop lying.

Which part of it are lies? That Obasanjo did not withhold Lagos State allocations for 2yrs? That Tinubu as Governor stood his grounds, ran Lagos successfully with IGR, and did not owe Salary for a single month ?

I know you wilfully hate Tinubu, but you cannot twist history, except you were in diapers during the said period

Kingosytex:
Despite the fact that Tinubu is the best definition of greed, I must confess that he carries everybody along. He is an astute politician and his sagacity is top notch.

He still stands tall among his contemporaries.

Yet he's the best definition of greed to you? Maybe it's time to get off clanish-influenced stereotypical opinions and face real life. Drop your self-inflicted hatred for Tinubu and ask what lesson can be learnt from his Strategy of Politics

dominique:
For the sake of the boy, they should just do the rites. It's their belief that a child born by their daughter belongs to them until she's paid for (like a piece of object). An evil family that can beat their daughter to death will do worse to the son she left behind. For the sake of the boys future, they should just do the appropriate rites and collect the child.

You somewhat have a point...
I must confess I did not put this into consideration

dominique:
This is so unfair, very heartless parents. Even if you don't want her to marry the boy due to tribal and religious differences, the moment a child became involved th families have become connected. This is what toxic tribal and religious bigotry does to people. I hope they release the baby to the father's family after he has carried out the appropriate marital rites because they're going to put that poor child through worse suffering than his mother endured.

What marital rites? The same family to rejected severally? Except Amaka's parents absconds with the baby, legally speaking, they will be compelled to hand over the baby to Ibrahim. Considering the house I saw in the picture, and lines where they had to request Ibrahim's family to pay for delivery, they are not even in financial position to raise the baby.

Then this is not Igbo land where you get the guy to perform marital rites with a dead person

ojuu4u:
I always tell people around me that religion is personal, if someone is happy and not coerced to join religion we shouldnt be fumed to his or her decision ditto if one ready to give love to other tribe willingly I dnt think it should be headache for another person, most especially when pregnancy had involved .

The first problem is even how this topic is couched. Is there any sin in being a "Yoruba-Muslim"? There are many potential Amaka's parents here on NL.....

Awoo88:
Those adjective that qualifies persons like you. Profane fellows who will support anything no matter how asinine for 30k/monthly.

30k monthly?

So classless. You mean from all available resource to intellectual exploits, this is something your brains farted?

Ok run along squat!

Awoo88:
The only thing you showed was your zombified personality. That you are stupid is not too much of a problem but to be unaware and goes about with confidence should be a thing of concern to people around you. Stop being a paid idiot

Unfortunately I am too civil to play in your "natural home" of intellectual dysfunction. Unaware of what? Conjectures? I gladly suffer fools like you gladly. Don't you understand that with lines like "zombie", "paid" etc you guys give yourselves away as bereft of any sound reasoning?

Awoo88:
are you one of the apc online paid bmc agent

predictably the next line narrative, when you have been shown your folly in discussion/debates.

Awoo88:
It was APC members who went to court to seek constitution amendment to allow buhari rule forever. It was APC house of rep member who floated the ideal first. Beside thus is not the first time buhari will be saying something and doing the exact opposite. Anyways it is immaterial whether he want third team or not. He will not get it. And he can not stand down as his presidency will seize to exist after may 29 2023.

Stop twisting narratives as if we were born yesterday. Before that APC member (whose membership partycouldnot attest to) or the HOR member (the same the party threatened to expel if he did not withdraw his irresponsible suit) went to court, the noise was already in the media as vociferously trumpeted by PDP louts.

funmisticqueen:
fact of life, money changes both men and women because it comes with control. It's human nature

Your wife is not emasculating you, you are just losing control of the power and finances in the family. Do you know how much BS women tolerate from men in marriages because he earns more?

Uncle, go and hustle or give your pants over to your wife and stop complaining

What an immature advice! Some of you, it's about tit-tat, winners-loosers, man-woman etc. nothing about sanctity of marriage

Awoo88:
I will be standing down in 2023 and will not be available in any future elections.
This guy is divorce from reality. Does he have any choice? Was he planing to suspend the constitution?

He's actually put paid to the failed "Dubai Strategy" of Atiku and his PDP ilks that came of.with that line of baseless stories that had no factual evidence. Same was sold to Brown-Envelope journalists who gave it some traction all in a bid to heat up the polity. Thing in they found a president with an impeccable record needed a lie to dent his image.

PMB is saying it loud and clear that he will not only hand over power, he will help in strengthening elections, more like jail riggers and loosers who want to subvert democratic institutions

mvem:
Guy why you dey talk this thing. Why not google and know why he is greatly talked about even internationally...everything no be sentiment

I am not talking of the popularity or how he's talked about
"internationally". Name his achievements as minister of Agriculture ?

mvem:
Guy why you dey talk this thing. Why not google and know why he is greatly talked about even internationally...everything no be sentiment

See useless answer, I ask a question in connection to suggestion that he he's worthy of being a president based on his achievements as minister of Agriculture. what are these? you're pointing to Google. Are
you that blank that you have nothing to submit ?

teadrake:
Akinwumi Adesina should be the President of this country. His innovative approach and record during his tenure in the agric ministry is unmatched. The emergence of Akinwumi will no doubt attract huge investment to Nigeria.

pls what were the tangible things we achieved in agriculture during the said period ?

Nickshrapnel:
I quite understand the message the writer is trying to pass, I only wrote that from a subjective POV. Most youths today are lost and truly Naira Marley mirrors their lifestyles perfectly, but like some people argued before, he is not a bad influence to all, some people just enjoy what he sings and don't subscribe to his lifestyle.
About the pastors car it's sad that happened to him but truth is most Nigerian parent needs a lecture on modern day child upbringing(if there is anything like that)

I see your point tho.... and on a second thought more like a case of inability to give what you don't have. Reality of life is, parents have done their bits and probably gone or soon to. Youths that wilfully choose destructive paths, later blame every other factors and people will only have themselves at the receiving end of koboko.

Check some aspects
1. Nairamarley argues that if the elders left good legacies, todays generation would have had good values and benefits. That argument sounds plausible on the surface but scratch that....it is simply an entitlement mentality. What's wrong with fixing and making things better for ourselves and those coming behind?
2. I believe that it sparks deceit to justify a bad thing with a bad model. Exuberance of this nature as demonstrated by many cannot be justified under any guise with say for example corruption or police brutality or Fela's moral decadence.
3. This generation stands the risk of difficulty in survival. A generation that may be on the path to self destruction. Nairamarlesque opium will wear out soon, Nairamarley may even go to jail for his indictment in card crimes, 5yrs and all these Marleansike cocaine addicts cannot get their "dose", then what next ?

Without an explanation I’m supposed to believe you? Lol.

QuickStandard:
It's good to be faithful.

Though it takes lot of Grace, and self-control.

May God help us.
Truth is it's not an easy "something"

Speaking from experience.

But I also doubt if this guy is being truthful though

You mean you fell?

meobizy:
The title does not correlate to the write-up. I wanted to see how his image fits in with the Nigerian youth. All I saw was a long winded description of the guy and his career. Nigerian writers are losing it.

Honestly he doesn’t represent the educated Nigerian youth. He instead personifies the illiterate and downtrodden. Those have no hope for tomorrow and focus on living today to the fullest, hence heavily consuming marijuana during times they could spend thinking up a business idea.

Unfortunately, you did not understand the focus and objective of the write-up.

hush15:
I think the problem is the [u]zenith bank right beside it. It's not safe for them as the mind of human is very deep.[/] They may be partying but the scheme is how to infiltrate the bank. I think quilox should just go buy one seaside along that ozumba or space at eko Atlantic and begin construction of a real party house that wouldn't be interfered with.

Bros,

That Zenith bank will be an anchor-tenant beneficiary. Imagine how much they make in terms of ATM revenues and charges.....

Nickshrapnel:
The likes of Naira Marley will always exist, it is your job as a parent to know what your kids are watching/listening to. Blaming Naira Marley for some stupid peoples mistake is wrong, there is nothing like bad influence, if a [b]marlian smokes weed it's not because NM smokes weed, it is because he wants to smoke weed. We should learn to stop blaming people for our misfortune.[/b]
I AM NOT A MARLIAN

I think you misunderstand the writer's intent. The writer is not blaming Nairamarley nor making him the reason for decadence. The writier is actually pointing to Nairamarley as the sign-post of the decadence. In other words, there is a Nairamarley in the average Nigerian youth already.

I believe it is somewhat lazy to adduce issues like this solely to parental upbringing. Several evidence suggests thing are more complicated than that. I read on twitter the case of a Pastor who woke up to the news that his car was among the ones towed to the Police station from Quillox. How come? His 3-kids and nephew who took the car out were supposed to be at the Choir practice (vigil) probably in preparation for Christmas Carol. The odds are the pastor gave them a very good and biblical upbringing. The rest go-figure....

Liposure:
Lets be honest wit ourselves.if our elders had laid a good foundation. do u tink nairamarley would trend.

1. So we should continue to hold "our elders" as responsible while our lives and that of our children gets destroyed?
2. Not in all cases is the fact that parents left a bad legacy, many did leave a good legacy, but bad influences likes nairamarley's creeps in like the serpent temptation with the apple

rafhell:
Nice gesture by the governor.
It is high time we get rid of the retrogressive quota system of a thing.
Merit should be encouraged so we don't end up with the likes of buhari in future

I thot ABU said on merit basis she did not qualify to study Medicine and Surgery. Good gesture from the governor sha

nochillatalll:
Most nigerians are stupid i swear!

You will listen to American rappers and play their songs on repeat with all the vulgar content but yet criticize someone here doing the same

is that not madness?

The person that wrote that article should quit being a hypocrite!

What I think is madness is you re-directing the context and focus of the writer's objective and making arguments the writer did not advance. How did you come to the conclusion that or what in the OP's write-up suggests he listens to American rappers?

I think you just want to provide alibi from Mars to rebut the writer's arguments which you're done badly at. It is not dishonourable to read again and get the crux of the writer's argument

somehow:
You are preaching to a lost generation!

My submission too

Tumbulum:
Marley is not the one that carry gun to kill hapless and men and women at night.

Marley is not the one that is dragging peoples ancestral land to give to his brothers.

Marley is not interested in including sharia in our constitution.

Marley is not BH or Armed Fulani Herdsmen.

Marley is not the president who disobeys court order and make nepotism his lifestyle.

Marley is not sarz that frame up innocent Nigerians in order to extort money from them.

Therefore Op leave Marley alone and let's get down to the real problem facing our country.

Just like some Americans against Gun Control will say - Guns don't kill people, people kill people.....no be so?

xxxtedyxxx:
Leave Marley alone, and focus on your destiny.

Leave him and his style of music alone. Every artiste has what works for him/her.

A typical example of what the writer is talking about

AtikuNetwork: :
Truth be told, the location of that club is not meant for such activities. No parking space. And the kind of human and vehicular traffic it attracts constitutes serious nuisance. Peller should be wise enough to relocate the club to a better location.

Relocate the club ke? You think it's easy? Na "CONTAINER"?

Technically, Peller is out of business if he does not offer to relocate that thing. I have a friend who was operating an event center in the heart of GRA Ikeja during Fashola's tenure. The day Lagos State moved in on him, that was it. They did not allow him to operate till date (10yrs running)

AmiciLord:
What of markets that causes heavy traffic congestion, how many una don close?

Abeg make una let people enjoy this December. And owners of the club should adjust closing time to 5AM

People like you are the kinds that like suffering. You will condemn a good act and justify such with another unrelated one. Where were you when Iponri, Mile 12, and Oyingbo were closed?

valuedammy:
Hon Shina Peller will report Governor Sanwolou to his colleague in the Federal House of Rep, let's see as the battle goes.

....and they will do what? On what basis?

@OP,

Please stop the deceit. The piece was written by an independent person - Prof. Ọlọjẹẹde Oyeniran Abiọjẹ wrote from University of Ilorin.
