The problem with Americans...they only know America. He needs to pay his outstanding child support, then fly to an African country and live his best life with the rest of his finances. I am sure he can do quite well with $500k if he does not go overboard in an African or Asian country. Fly into one and take taxis or get bundled to 2-3 countries away lol...or just work harder and pay the child support.
Actor and singer Tyrese Gibson, known for his roles in the "Fast & Furious" franchise, found himself on the wrong side of the law. Tyrese was reportedly arrested over unpaid child support, a situation that has been brewing for months.
The court had earlier ordered Tyrese to pay a substantial amount in child support, but it appears the actor failed to comply, leading to his recent arrest. According to reports, the court has now demanded that he pay $73,000 to avoid jail time.
Tyrese, who has previously made headlines for his public outcry over financial difficulties and his battle over child custody, is yet to comment on his arrest. As the news broke, fans and followers took to social media, expressing mixed reactions over the legal drama surrounding the star.
What remains to be seen is whether Tyrese will be able to come up with the required amount to stay out of jail or face even more legal trouble in the coming days.
Stop blaming everyone. I tried to look into buying Innoson. The website is not clear, how to get funding is not clear...they ought to have contracts and paying plans. I wont mind paying in bits, and then get the vehicle once I am done with payments. They need to improve their financing. NORD is not doing much as well. All of them are waiting on the Fed Govt...while millions are buying and selling cars annually in Nigeria. We are the largest country in Africa. Chinese car companies do not wait on the Chinese Govt to buy their cars...they use what they have to get what they want.
Ejiakusmith: Because of tribalism ,, top Government politicians..... And Government heads won't patronize inonsen vehicles
I have been waiting for this. They wanted to do Diaspora Housing Scheme in Abuja, and people discouraged them that it was probably discriminatory...but it happens everywhere all over the world. Even Saudi has expatriate area...If Nigeria can tap into Diaspora to raise legit funds for real estate, they can create tons of jobs...like have 20 sites in Abuja...and employ tons of youths. Diaspora will remit the funds knowing it is backed by Govt, and you can do this within 1yr....you create lots of temporary shelters for the workers, give them verifiable identities to access the sites, and push this on all TV stations. You can even allow non-Nigerians to buy...and limit it to one, so they won't buy them all up using state resources in their countries. We keep looking for money...there is money everywhere. UAE is already doing this.
Lol you just contradicted yourself. You do agree wife can leave lol...Love her until she does, so you are talking of conditional love. The love of a mother is not conditional. Times of struggle, times of pain and times of joy...she still loved you else you wont be alive. Honor your Father and Mother that you may live long. Why didn't the 10 commandments talk about loving yourself? Even Adam said, the wife you gave me...he never said I took the fruit and ate. Be wise...Loving your mother is not the same as not loving your wife, but if you had to choose...choose wisely.
Houseontherock1: The Bible already called you one with your wife! You and your wife have become ONE the moment you LEfT your father and mother to marry her! Your love for your wife is love for yourself! It's funny how you guys are jumping on the mum first bandwagon without deep careful thought...you create problem for yourself when you start comparing mother's love and love for your wife. A good mother will encourage you to love your wife, she will pray for the success of your marriage without having any issues with your wife. A good wife will ensure she doesn't put you in a tight spot by making you choose between her and your mother... mother's love and spousal love are on 2 different levels!. Your mother gave birth to you; your wife gave birth to your children... even though your wife may leave you, love her until she leaves.
one must be very very very careful trying to help people. i told a guy at the airport helping someone move luggages not belonging to him because the person wanted to go and sit down. I called him jejeli...people carry drugs...if you go and touch drugs and your fingers test positive, you are on your own. A friend I used to talk to going insane posted on a group that I was a sexual predator and we dated and all...thank God for all the texts from 2020 that I never deleted. Be careful guys...may God save us all. I want to hear the story of the police officer o abeg
The help I did in 2017 to FMC that cost my three days? I rushed the woman who's just been hit by a kinda hit and run..and the issue of police report started. Good Samaritan me drove with my Bolt vehicle to the station and after narrating, what came out from the Police Constable was "Guilty Conscience. God works in mysterious ways."
The rhetoric hit me like a letter bomb. I stuttered to explain myself better, and was finger-signalled to meet was caricatured by another officer who asked me what happened again, in an attempt to add his own mockery as an end-remark....which he did: "Una no dey ever change this story? Pray she lives or you are in for a long ride."
I wan die that day. I explained that I was with the military (if it would make a difference) and I knew the law and all that. And why would I hit her, come to the station and deny it? Glaring to me, the first Constable who was a woman responded to my rhetorical question with a scorn again: "guiltttttttty conscienccccce ooooooo."
I gazed at her, consumed by a sense of hollowness. And then, from behind, a voice echoed: "'I was in the force, I was in the force's, so what? Make we run? So you want to threaten us or what after nearly killing someone?"
The female constable responded again: "no, he wants to beat me. Na so dem dey"
I was told to write a statement of what happened but this officer won't let me write my own narration. He'd be telling me how to write it if I wanted to be out of there quickly, what what he was dictating was implicating which I refused...and he resolved to teach me a lesson "so far na en station where I dey."
"Oga, I am the one who is trying to save a life, why do you want to implicate me? Would it have been better I left her to bleed to death? Where did I go wrong?"
I demanded to speak to my lawyer or the DPO and they laughed, mimicked scornfully and laughed harder.
Ok, both of my phone's was siezed...and my smartphone was where I had some contacts who could use their position to help me out of this...plus my CO then who was serving in that state. But this people gave me my Itel button phone. I politely requested for the smart one and they bluntly refused giving clumsy excuses.
I sat behind the counter until my black trouser wore out. And it was a Friday. One officer who's been observing for a while came to me and asked what my case was. I explained to him. I couldn't adequately express myself as tears threatened to accompany my words...but I did. After he calmed me, he asked who could corroborate my story and I told him. He told me that the officers wanted the DPO to leave so I could be in cell until Monday when they'd revisit my case. My heart was just shattering anyhow. I told him I needed to speak to the DPO, then my smartphone to call my people, plus the hospital.
They (without this new good officer) took me to the DPO and the black devil trying to implicate me before started speaking for me, rephrasing my speech but instead of adding sugar, they added salt to the injury making it look like I wanted to outsmart them. I requested to speak for myself and the officer who brought me in told me to shut up.
If I hadn't given the Nurse in charge of the accident victim my number, e for don bi for me o.
The DPO told the officer to let me talk. I narrated everything again, and didn't leave any stone unturned, even the few pebbles about trying to implicate me. She asked for the hospital to be called. And I gave the number.
At that moment, they couldn't reach the doctor. But the accident victim's family were present in the hospital. The DPO told them to take me to the hospital. When we were out of her office, this officer insisted he'd cuff me before I am allowed to enter their vehicle...of course which I refused. I SERVED NIGERIA TOO AND WONT BE TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL! And that by law, it was false imprisonment, and against my human rights. At this moment, swears, I was ready for resistance. I spoke loudly that I am not a criminal and won't be subjected lesser as a toutish one. I also told him to his face that after I am exonerated, I will make sure he pays for all these (and he thought I was joking).
Amidst all the back-and-forth, the hospital reached out to the DPO and she promptly called us back to her office. The woman victim was conscious and verified that I did not harm her. She mentioned that everyone else abandoned her while she was bleeding, and I was the only one who came to her aid. It was being broadcasted for everyone to hear. She expressed her dissatisfaction with the way I was treated and questioned the reason behind my arrest.
The DPO, in my presence, ordered I should be released unconditionally and apologized.
But can an apology heal the trauma?
Could you believe after the DPO left, this godforsaken demon asked me to pay bail or he'd keep me in cell till tomorrow. Omo, I screamed "over my dead body" subconsciously and audibly. And he was like "hand go touch you soon no worry."
Anyways I left after deliberate delay tactics of about two hours. I could not go back to the hospital because the whole event made me fall very sick. But the accident victim lady visited after recovery. She's visited a sick me because my mental health was affected. I couldn't even meet my weekly sums from the Bolt. Two days after the whole event, I tried to drive and my eyes was still seeing rotating images so I had to hug pillows again until I felt much better.
About that officer, story for another day.
But you see me now?
I refuse to be from Samaria anymore. It nearly cost my life.
This is why I listen to Old Yoruba Song...The song said...you need to choose one, Mother or Wife. The singer said Mother and Wife are different, but a wife can leave and remarry, so a man must always realize Mom will always be Mother. Same argument was made for the Father. You grow into love with your wife...your love for your Mom and her love for you is why you actually lived long enough to marry wife. Do NOT let your Mother or Father curse you over your wife. You will understand why the Bible said HONOR your Mother and Father...in the 10 commandments without mentioning wife one single time Lol.
mmadu4: So guys i often wonder is it OK to love wifey more than our mom. like can a man put his wife first before his mom?
a neighbor of mine sent his mom away all because she had altercation with the wife and told the wife to leave her son and set him free from her juju ,
i wanted to put mouth but don't want to insert my self in family matter . nothing will make me send my mom away like that though .
Might be folks that know him and folks that he knows. They probably killed him because he could finger them out. May your soul rest in peace Sir. This is SAD
When they face the court, you wont be there to defend them o...keep edging them on.
NoahHadNoArk: Why sending money to an absolute stranger to travel miles to come see you, in dangerous times like these
You be serial killer ?!?😒
Dear ladies, Collect their money and better your lives with them or give to the less privileged. Since these Hot Toads have refused to learn, keep fleecing them.
They think Buhari is still in power...the death that awaits them...they have no clue. China and Nigeria will coordinate to pin point and wipe these idiots out soon. I give him some months.
Like they did for those that stole irons from the New Niger Bridge 2. If you have a ton of thieves that love to steal, do you think its a good idea to test the waters. Even Gov of Cross River Ayade said they stopped Solar Lights because they were stealing the solar and the metal stand. They stopped waste system because they were stealing and converting the drums for private use...if tons of people are doing it, insanity will be doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Ebubu: The NW has railway through Kaduna yet its ridden with bandits.
FG is currently building railway to Maiduguri home of boko haram.
Catch the thieves and deal with them, others will learn a lesson.
Not surprised. They will try to divert illegal shipments from Lagos Apapa which is why they have been screaming that they want the Port opened. I would not be shocked that those sending those shipments are based outside of the country. The same set of people funding Biafra and supplying them with weapons to engage in sit at home. It does not take a genius to connect the dots.
Get a CCTV camera or cameras...you might not be able to prevent the crime, but you can help in catching the criminals...so all these can STOP
Merry100: Someone is targeting me, and I don't know who it is, but it seems to be related to a shop. I recently reopened this particular shop. It is in a good location, situated beside the main road, but I had previously closed it out of frustration. The shop was burgled and all my valuable gadgets were stolen. It has not even been three months since I renovated the shop, brought in new gadgets, and reopened it, but someone has been trying to burgle it again.
Yesterday, we discovered that someone tried to break into the shop, the person also tampered with the signboard on top of the shop roof, causing it to face downwards.
Also, a man came to the shop yesterday and placed a large order for different foods and various drinks, which exceeded what was available, he said he needed it for a party. While my other staff were in the kitchen area preparing more food for him, he sent the staff who was supposed to serve the food on an errand, and she left without informing anyone, I don't know if she was under a spell or if she was just licking his feet.
When the man realized that he had successfully distracted all of them, he started pretending to be in a hurry. My sister decided to assist by putting the available food into disposable plates, and in the process, the man stole her phone and fled.
A lot has been happening lately. My staff had previously informed me that on the first day the shop was reopened, they saw a nylon bag full of poo in front of the shop and disposed of it.
My sister has been very cold and down since yesterday. Apart from the fact that the stolen phone is expensive, there are important documents on it. I tried hard to suppress my emotions, but seeing my sister in distress because of me made it impossible to hold back my tears.
She didn't even need to be in my shop yesterday. It was Monday and I needed to take foodstuffs to the shop, but I begged her to help me because I had an early morning appointment with a client at the office.
Even my car was tampered with. She parked it outside the shop in its usual location, but there were signs that someone had tried to break into it. It seems like someone is deliberately trying to frustrate me to the leave the shop.
Great point. I was living in a shared room as a single person, married and continued to live in a shared room...meaning we even shared bathroom and kitchen as a couple. It all depends on marrying the right person, so yall can live within your means. I know young couples living comfortably in a room self contained. So if you make N30k and she makes about the same amount...that is N60k per month, about N720k per year. Your housing should be at the most 25% of your income so that's N180k per year rent. That can only afford you a room self contained. The couple can put their heads together and hustle doing other services. Hold off on having children because baby expenses are unpredictable until income goes up. That is the way to do it. Waiting till you are buoyant to marry is not a given. Sometimes you actually need a partner to guide you and some carry spirit of success with them...just do not marry wrong, cos both parties will be frustrated on top inadequate income.
Not entirely true....Land Use Charge I think started under Tinubu Govt. Lagos used to be very terrible in the past. Oshodi was a hot mess. Bariga looked like ghetto and so on. The reason you have lots of gated communities in Lagos was due to insecurity. Lagos did something about it, and even raised funds for security. That is why Lagos is where she is not because of some colonial conspiracies from 100 years ago
uuzba: I guess, Lagos just had the highest number of colonial masters and colonial settlements, resulting in the highest number of administrative offices and processes, leading to it being the capital of Nigeria in the past. Structures were already in place, set by the British to make things happen in Lagos, unlike the other states in Nigeria. We of today are just carrying over those processes already laid down.
Lagos is the ONLY state that has mastered property tax collections. Oyo State does not even collect close to 5%. I just paid the one in Lagos for my Dad...over N150k for 3-4 years paid. Now imagine paying that all over Lagos, and some properties are worth Billions. The other states need to start Property Taxes. Even if its N5k for Bungalow and N10k for duplex and storey buildings, you can raise a lot of money from that. I have a template, and I would gladly share it with any state govt. You can raise more than what you collect in Abuja, and you can also provide loads of employment for the Youths in the process.
Lalami3232: How's can Lagos be the only state developing when we have 36 states nationwide? God bless Lagos state and all those trying to make it a better place. Eko ni baje!!! What do I even know aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news.
Oga if you no meet your wife as a virgin, oga go for DNA test oooooo because boreholes aka non-virgins can't be trusted atall atall
Forget Chelsea, sign a 10yr $1 billion dollar deal with Saudi. You sacrifice una sef and in 2-3 years, you can be traded anyhow...go for the money
ericmor: If Saudi will sign him on a year contract, I'm pretty sure he will go and return to Europe as it stands right now but I'm pretty sure Saudi club wil never accept to pay him big for such time and if he sign a long contract, it will be a problem for clubs to sign him from Saudi because of the money involve. Chelsea want osimeh and osimeh too want Chelsea but financial structure of the club is the obstacle
He should go to Saudi, buy a house in Dubai, and live his best life. He deserves it. He has worked hard to be here. Let tomorrow and Nigerians worry about themselves.
I do not have those...of course those outcomes will be better because they recruit the best from all over the world.
Zeebuy: Please publish the statistics of health, and of good standards of living, and of education etc. This is the nonsense you agbado miscreants do. Shame on people like you
You have to dig deep to find the statistics. Ask an average American, they dont even know all these stats...but in Nigeria, we make a big news out of bad news and propagate bad news. Imagine someone asking me about kidnapping and protests on returning back to US...as if its everywhere in Nigeria. May God help us as we demarket our own nation.
Here are some statistics on violence-related deaths in the United States: 2023 As of December 7, 2023, at least 40,167 people have died from gun violence in the United States. This is an average of almost 118 deaths each day. The majority of gun violence deaths this year have been by suicide. 2022 There were 21,156 reported homicide cases in the United States. The majority of murder victims were male, and just over half were African American. 2021 The CDC reported 20,958 homicides. The National Firearms Survey found that privately-owned firearms were used in about 1.7 million defensive usage cases.
In 3 years, that is over 80,000 deaths by gun violence alone....but you will not see USA propagating negative news like we do all the time. Then we wonder why the world is not investing because they all think we are the worst of the worst.
She should be careful...Canada can start looking at her application and pick one or two inconsistencies to say she lied to obtain residency and citizenship. Hope she is well aware of the Canadian Law she dey brag about.
Won't you post the Palestinians killed by Israel at West Bank lol? You are just another conspiracy tool trying to shape Nigeria's minds. Post all news or state your bias. I know you served in the IDF...don't blur your pics LOL.
Story makes no sense...maybe they went for oil bunkering...saw the soldiers and attempted to get away. Arrest all his friends and they will truly confess...went up the river to do what? The alternative is they drowned him...cos the story still makes no sense and I read it 2-3 times.
