Are you new in Abuja or what? Asokoro being the best precinct in the city. Granted it's one of the areas that the real old money folks of the city has properties and all, but the game has since shifted to other parts within the city. Wuse 2, Jabi, Guzape and their neighborhood (katampe, Wuye, etc)

Abia state really needs our prayers. They even brought cultural dancers to perform for him. Here is the vice of the dummy figure head of a governor that has done literally nothing coming to contest again to cement the works of his boss and cover up his dark tracks. Shame!!!

If this story were any true, I'll advise you to cut off the friendship and move on. Perhaps they've told him that you and your cousins are leeches that are running down his business gradually and could one day launch a big bang. There is no way he's going to ever trust you again.
So for the sake of your sanity and peace of mind (if you value it, that is), cut him off and forget literally about him. Don't try to repair the friendship, unless of course, you are truly a leech. Emi laye mii, I will NEVER ever beg anybody for friendship. Nothing lasts forever.

This happened too to someone I know here in Abuja, few months ago. He went to setup his app inside the bank and 60,000 was debited from his account the next day. He wasn't too tech savvy and that was his first time using a mobile app.
All GTB customer service staff are theives. Especially those ones in charge of their mobile app and that *737 stuff. Be wary of them!

Smart thinking countries are moving away from dams as a renewable energy source into lesser carbon footprint impact based sources like solar, wind and even tidal. Yesterday it was around 43°c in Abuja.
We are told that kanji dam is still operating lesser than it's full capacity since God knows when...
In days where terrorists are blowing up trains and hijacking airports, I think we should think of modular, decentralized and smarter energy sources in multiple location

You have not answered the question. Do you need heads-up?
Tinubu made his money from

You are even already accusing me of being a PDP agent which is equally the other side of the coin. You think it's rather proper to quantify and value an ill gotten wealth that is as a result of years of accumulating the commonwealth of the Nigerian people?
To make matters worst, you believe that every Nigerian politician is guilty of corruption at some point, so because of this, we should allow your boss have his way. Well , some of us are looking towards a better Nigeria where the likes of your boss don't have a say over the affairs, as well as the likes of all the other old folks parading themselves around.

Ttalk:
Though am not too impressed with your line of argument just like Rufai of AriseTV question of Tinubu source of wealth, and I think that exposes laziness and shallow work done by our journalist.

Rather than asked for source of wealth, why not quantify and value his worth?

What does Tinubu worth? Do you have idea of what he's worth in order to determine whether he is wealthy or not.

Am very surprised that PDP and his followers have been too weak and lazy to put forward valid points to nail their opponent other than Bullion van stuff that could not stand as a basis for Nigerian to reject him or any other person from his party.

If you feel Bullion van in Tinubu's house amount to corruption, a legal part should have been taken by the opposition at least to use as a point against him in time like this other than resulting to blackmail that can easily be debunked.

Funny, issue of corruption cant be used against Tinubu because every Nigerian politician is guilty of and some of the candidates even have proven corrupt cases like the Haliburton case

You want to know why I single out Tinubu out of many party leaders abi?
What was inside the bullion vans that was driven into his compound prior to election morning the other day? Was that not funds meant to "galvanize" the elections or should we off this mike?
How did Tinubu make his money?
He might be a fine leader and all but you need to tone the path of accountability to the masses.
Don't you think we need people of integrity to add value to the advancement of our democracy?

Ttalk:
How did Tinubu foisted Buhari on Nigeria. How can some presumed educated people be talking trash, shame no dey catch una for making such ridiculous and bogus claim.

Last I checked Nigerian is a multiparty state where we have over 50 parties that could produce the president of the country. Even when we have two major parties the population of eligible voters are more than 50millions.

Tinubu is a party member just like yourself with different level of infuence.

Every goal of a party member is for his party to win an election

If Tinubu, together with Atiku, Saraki, Ameachi and others worked for APC to win election, how is that a problem, why single out Tinubu out of many party leaders?

How does Tinubu forced 12million Nigerians to vote for APC?

What's other party doing when they could have tapped from huge population of eligible voters to defeat APC?

Does Tinubu capable of forcing you and your family to vote a party that's not your choice?

Voting APC and Buhari was a collective efforts of over 12million that voted him to power, narrowing it to Tinubu is clannish, deceitful and irresponsible.

It would have been interesting if you can focus on the content quality of a good leaders out of the candidates and not all these juveniles gist that add not value to the advancement of our democracy.

I have given you few of his outstanding achievement, now debunk any of them and bring forth superior quality of your candidate and let the public be the judge, leave irrelevancy and focus on issues, so that people would see the qualities in each of the candidates for us to vote a better candidate come 2023

Hello, Joyrider, didn't your mother teach you not to interrupt mature people's conversation? Was the question directed at you?
I.diot.

Akanbiedu:
Buhari hasn't failed, so Tinubu will continue where Buhari stops.
If you don't agree, you can go and die.

I know many of you are on his payroll these days and as such will go any length to defend his legacies but I only have one question for you.
Tinubu foisted Buhari on Nigerians few years ago. Now does he agree that Buhari failed woefully and he's coming to undo his many evils or is he coming to "carry on" the good works of a great leader?

Ttalk:
Tinubu can be seen to be innovative and pioneer of major good standard of governance.

He was the first to embark on independent power project.

The first to create additional new Local government

The first to create RRS that other state later adopted similar security outift

The first to state sanitation mechanism known as LAWMA

Also embarked on state traffic outfit called LASMA

Also he is the initiator of BRT with over 400 buses imported before his tenure.

First state government to embark on rehabilitation of Federal road to later be reimbursed by the FG

He initiated BRT lane within existing lane in a crowded state like Lagos state

He revive metroline that was only a project on paper by the previous government

Initiate Eko Atlantic City

First to initiate free trade zone in Nigeria that later pave way for Dangote refinery.

He raised Lagos IGR from paltry 600m to over 2billion before the end of his tenure as Lagos governor


While doing all these, he was in the opposition with little or no support from the Federal government. He also shouldered the responsibility of providing political support to other SW state up to Edo state to reclaim their mandate

Most importantly, he created and nurtured a political party that now became APC the ruling party, he even gave Atiku platform to contest in his party, the other person he provided platform to contest in his party is Ribadu both are northerners.

This is a very brilliant thought. Let all politicians be subject to an independent value based political scorecard. It shouldn't be by crowd choice to avoid the usual vote buying. Unless we get to this honest standpoint, we won't be able to distinguish between wheat and chaff in Nigerian politics.

Ttalk:
Atiku is not different from average Nigerian politicians with no distinct value to add to the society.

Just a regular mediocre with poor achievement. If political performance were to be graded Atiku would score less than 40%.

That is why it baffles me when some people compare him to Tinubu with outstanding performance and pioneer of innovative governance.

You guys are thieves oo. You literally stole his blood from him. But on a more serious note, You for give him back now, knowing how bad the economy is these days. Some people can give out a kidney for eggroll and LaCasera. Moreso this is bad for your clinic PR.

All these stup.id people on Nairaland forming woke and saying Nigerians have a bad habit not repaying loans and all, in saner climes, so they give 7 or 14 days loan and expect as much as 50% increase?
Even the student loan you people are talking about, isn't it paid back when you start working?
Meanwhile every Nigerian citizen is owing close to 150,000 including you, the woke ones. So be honest enough to go and pay your loan and remove the log in your eyes first before you come to discuss the twig in the eyes of your neighbors.
If they come to you for help, you no go give shishi. Hypocrites oshi.

But seriously, are you expecting the police to burst into the house and arrest the father for wickedness? It is a civil case, so beyond the jurisdiction of the police for now. The man was smart enough to let it reach a case of murder or manslaughter before they can boldly walk in. You can involve your community chief or agencies like Ministry of Women affairs and social development or something . You can also file a complaint here if you're in Lagos

This is a terrible advise. How do you religious folks sleep at night with such Bible laced wickedness in your stomachs?
Didn't the same Bible tell you that let him who hasn't sinned cast the first stone?
There is nowhere they don't steal fowl in the nigt, just that the mechanisms everyone use is quite different. Have you been 100% honest to your company yourself? You no holy pass.

coolk:
Ask yourself this questions, then decide:
- What does your company's policy say about such situations?
- Do you know that not reporting him is collusion?
- Do you value your integrity?
- What kind of example are you setting for other staff?
- What do you think will happen if the management finds out about this through someone else?
- Are you willing to lose your job to save his, because he's a "family man"?
- If you owned the company and you discover that your manager colluded in hiding such from you, will you still trust him/her?

The bible admonishes us "To be as gentle as a dove, and as wise as a serpent"

WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING.

Forgive the person, if you will, but report it, that is your job. You can then decide to recommend in your report for a lighter punishment.

Please it's so hard to get a job now. Think of it this way, the company isn't going to add to your salary if he's sacked. So consider the plight of his family and let him off with a stern warning.

What is our business in Africa? They asked for foreign mercenaries that could have come to assist with the war simply for the reward, they said you needed to go bring 1000 dollars. Let them continue their war abeg. We've not finished the one Buhari is fighting us underground.

He better listen to the witches for his own good. As well as his bounty of 8 years gain in Aso rock.

As divinely orchestrated, the giant broom effigy they mounted at the city gate area in Abuja broke apart earlier last year, now the prophecy is revealing itself. Truly a house divided against itself cannot stand. APC is doomed to fail

Bros, there is no light anywhere in Abuja. Though it is worst in some places than others. Don't let anyone decieve you. In Apo, we that used to swim in light are now counting our ceilings in darkness.

Emperordynasty:
Okay sir I intend to sell my digitalized imaginative pieces..I can also do the normal commissioned but I feel this is already too common that's why I wanted to focus on my imaginative pieces

These are nice, but in all honesty, you wouldn't be able to sell these fast to people anywhere in Nigeria. The kinds of artworks Nigerians love are very colourful and emotional types, that pass a message easily upon gazing. These imaginative pieces won't apeal to many people. Just an honest advise.

Firstly, your location depends. I don't think that people in Benin will be willing to pay a hefty price for artwork as much as lagosians or people in Abuja will do. What is the quality of your artwork though? Can you send some pictures for further advise

Leave Seun's personal opinions on Twitter alone now, eyin trolls oshi wonyii. Are you at least getting paid over this? Because alot of people get paid for doing ridiculous things in today's Nigeria. It will be very shameful if you are not.

Na everything we dey take catch cruise in this country. You can get that certificate with a land of 1 square foot. Just sufficient to get the title of a lord and some certificate. And it costs less than 50 pounds.

Are these not the youths their governor claims they drink beer 8am on a Monday morning? What right do they have to challenge his mediocrity? Imagine the nerve. The people are truly a reflection of their rulers

Even if we turned up, what will change in Abuja? Is there any significance that worth the stress? Shioor!

Osibanjo will handle the economy, a professor, while Buhari will handle the insecurity. A war general. 8 years down the line, we still have these kinds of headlines. It is hopeless down here!
Yet, the former still wants to contest for president and many people here still thinks he is one of the best candidates. Talk about a peculiar case of stockolm's syndrome.

Failed project. Coming from a governor that is in the WhatsApp group of those that use Airport project to steal the people's commonwealth. How far with the cargo airport he has been building in lafia all these years?

BigBashiru:
Men are actually very simple creatures. They do not want to be cheated... they only act violent when cheated. What the woman is alleged to have displayed is my money is my money while your money is our money and no man should condone that.

This woman is alleged/believed to still collecting money from her husband instead of using her money to take care of herself causing the husband undue stress that can kill him

This is a pure lie. Having lived in Akure for sometime, I know for a fact that many men in that city are not responsible for their family upkeep. The women works twice harder to provide for their home and hide their burden under the impression of wanting to keep their marriage. This hardworking woman fell in love with a wrong person.

BigBashiru:
You are talking nonsense. No one said a man should have utmost control of a woman's properties. The demand is she should not use her money to buy property and then come and be asking me for money because I'm her "husband". She should use her own money to take care of herself while I use mine to take care of myself. And she should make a contribution to her children's school fees and upkeep instead of keeping all her money to herself that's all.

You and the psychopath in this post are probably not any different. You're very uncomfortable with the idea of your wife having her own money. I hope you're not equally nursing an evil thought for the poor woman someday? Shame on you!

Kabongo1:
Two wrongs don't make it right.

What was the motivation behind hiding her investments? Was the man not feeding the family and taking care of bills?
He shouldn't have gone this route.

There is nothing wrong in a woman doing well for herself, who decides that she has married an irresponsible husband, don't want to end the marriage but wants to take the next step in life. Let's stop this nonsense that a man should have utmost control of a woman's properties. Many people should never have married. (Selah)

This is many shades of wrong.Firstly, madam, I deeply sympathize with you. But why did you allow this small boy to come and run you street? did you not allow him to provide 2 guarantors, of either a senior civil servant, a clergyman or a senior staff in the private sector whom you must have both visited to confirm their identities and relationship with the boy before asking him to resume? For someone to start working and disappear less than one week into the job shows you literally just picked him off from the streets. POS business isn't just like any 9-5 job you can engage just any desperate job seeker to start. I pray you find him.
But Nigerians shaa, you decide you want to give someone a job to keep body nd soul together, not knowing they have other diabolic plans. This is just sad. Please report at his bank to place a lien on his account with appropriate evidence.
