When they arrested Nnamdi Kalu, they were quick to starch their babarigas and call a press conference to discuss their "victory". Now when it appears that Kalu had them cornered like a bone in the throat, they are looking for soft landing before the press. Buhari had to jet out to address his health. He must not have been sleeping well these days.
Meanwhile, Benin republic, Nigeria's 37th state is showing them how it's done shame!

Wahala they say, be like bicycle. Why must you shook mouth in Islamic affairs on Nairaland? I wonder why Nigerians don't mind their business quietly and live fine. And before you say pim, I'm a Christian too. Let's learn to leave mata for Mathias, or live and let live.

Oga sir,

You said "quiet billionaire".

That description is patently false.

In this age of remote work, and with the education Nigerians have (from within and outside Nigeria), our people should have been killing software positions.

We were. I personally know people who were regularly getting $3k plus a month to work in software. In Nigeria, that is more than comfortable but the the US companies, that's a savings of 50+%. Those jobs have been drying out for new entrants solely due to fraud. Those who could, relocated to Ghana, Kenya or South Africa.

How many people like Cubana, who appeared out of nowhere, have eventually been arrested? Especially in the US?

He started his hustle right from his NYSC days. His business premise was once demolished by Elrufai. Listen to his documentary on BBC, maybe you will get to understand him better. He has a chain of hotels and lounges across several cities in Nigeria. It is almost an infinitesimal source of income, as they are in high demand.
I understand your friends were affected by the actions of fraudulent people, but learn to channel your energy rightly. ☮️

Spraying money in a poor country, enough money for a states monthly allocation, is quiet??

Many fast 'billionaires' like this have eventually been prosecuted, here and abroad.

We are losing legitimate business because of high fraud (even though we dey learn work where India is concerned) yet you want to 'leave it to God to judge'.

Oga, obi Cubana is not the one that says your country should be poor. On a normal day, he doesn't throw money on the streets. He wanted a lavish burial to fulfill a promise to his late mum and that's exactly what he gave.
Your president that was drinking 35 naira Milo, the other day, forming humble, how has things improved under him? If the monies spent at the funeral is up to your state's revenue, then it shows you're from one of those northern states with no much value.
Obi Cubana has not stopped anyone's legitimate business. Nigerian startups are still getting juicy deals and endorsements out there.
You're just poor!

Guy, you mumu oo... If you have not heard it from anyone, I must let you know. How can you help someone to collect loan using yourself as guarantor?
Well, since the money is not so much, just pay. Tomorrow is another day to be wise. If you take all these processes Nairaland people are advising you to take, you will spend much and not achieve anything reasonable.

dk58:
Your kindness won't kill you...Don't let this sad experience stop you from helping people in need. You will be vindicated at last.

Bros, I be like say people never do you strong thing before? I used to have this Mother Theresa heart before, and of recent when I fell into hard times and I approached all the people I've assisted in the past before, I didn't see any of their brake lights.
It's time to have a change of philosophy. People are NOT worth being nice to!

God punish poverty like this. Someone cannot quietly be rich again, without doing money rituals to you guys. Well, for your information, you will wait tire if you are expecting bad things to befall Obi Cubana. Go and hustle bro, get a life and stop hating!

Masters Kee? Is that how low standards have fallen under Buhari of recent? You're recruiting masters degree holder for ushering jobs with daily pay.

It's just that we live in an age of quick rewards without labour. People want it all now, without sacrifice. Just because it's a church based organization, some people feel that they can come into the system and shout hallelujah, then collect pension and live in free house for the rest of their lives and keep receiving prophet offering. No labour, no accountability, nothing. The world just doesn't work like that.
We are used to this civil servant lifestyle in Nigeria, where KPI'S are not measured and no one is accountable to anyone.
Even the Bible talks about punishment awaiting angels that have refused to keep their first assignment. Jesus also spoke the parable of separating the wheat from the chaff. In the first place, those guys should never have been pastors.

that is the most impossible and funny thing I have heard in a while. Sell genuine items to soldiers and be honest with your dealings and watch them become friends with you, you always have issues with them in terms of business when you want to play smart or dishonest.

It's not so. Most soldiers always want to use force to their advantage. I recently had an business encounter with a military man and he actually cheated me, on top of it all, he has threatened to beat me up over a matter of legitimate business. We are in the wake of a soldier killing his girlfriend for unconfirmed infidelity. If everyone use their jobs to oppress others at will, then who will remain on earth? The poison seller as well as sawmillers that cuts big trees in the forest with chain saws all have jobs, you know. Bunch of uncivilized barbarians these soldiers are.

In the best interest of Nigerians citizens, I think everyone should boycott doing any business with the military folks. It always end in tears and they end up bullying you with their resources. Don't sell market to them. Avoid them when they come to your shop.

I want please

seunmsg:
Her family has hired a crooked lawyer for her. The police celebrated the confession too early and put too much information in the public space. Now, she will try to use the information to her defense. The initial confession will be thrown out in court easily once she pleads not guilty.

Now, the police have to do extra investigative work which will include forensics if they intend to get her convicted. This her new story still doesn’t add up so they have the upper hand against her. She stole his money after his death so that’s enough motive. With good forensic evidence from the crime scene, she’s toast.

You seem to forget that she's dealing with a Billionaire's family now, and she, daughter of a nobody. She's toast, no matter what she says. Justice is for the highest bidder around here

We need to tell ourselves the truth. When will states stop outdoing themselves, building a "world class hospital" that is poised to stop medical tourism? We've had this mantra several times. Ondo state, Akwa Ibom state, Kano and Ebonyi states (in the pipeline I think) and so on.
It still doesn't stop our president, the number 1 citizen (or other politicians for that matter) from jetting out of the country for their health's sake.
I'm aware of an International Cancer Center, Abuja built many years back and I'm sure they sang this national anthem too, but it is now an abandoned project.
Just build a good hospital for your people and commission it quietly. The other part is paying workers enough to man the operation. These are the issues.

Well, let him have it. Who knows if he's preparing for his funeral, hence immortalizing himself while alive? These sort of things are meant for dead, prominent people

They have brain washed this one. I'm positive he will be the weak link that will snitch out the sensitive discussions of Southern governors to his Fulani slave master.
You're trying to bring the north closer to the sea so they can have access to plunder your commonwealth further...

With the rate at which Mabushi has constant light, how are you guys still able to rack up that much diesel cost? Also, having built a solar mini grid, how are you able to rack up another diesel cost again or I am not understanding. Isn't the idea of solar mini grid not supposed to cancel out the idea of using diesel entirely?

So what happens with the lots of redundant time in the hands of the Fire service staff when they become weaponized? They say the idle man is the devil's workshop.. imagine the fire staff thinking of creative ways to apply their weapons every other day of the week when there's no fire to quench. Knowing that Fire service is one of the most unproductive government agency there is, apart from NIPOST. The other day, I saw a video where they brought an inflatable raft to rescue a young boy that fell inside the water in Ilorin, with no positive result. It was the abokis that later dived into the water to rescue the corpse

Are you sure someone hasn't secretly activated data share on your line? Check for data share numbers. Last time I remembered, only glo offers the ability to broadcast internet from a sim across different sims

Good advice. Lawyers nowadays are being paid 30,000 naira or a little above in Abuja chambers, with all their smartness. Then add Mass Communication, Archeology, History and international relations, as you won't get jobs in Nigeria. Even the highly revered banking & finance as banks are downsizing and jettisoning the idea of physical branches. It's better you study Accounting, then Applied and creative Arts and Local languages. Hausa is hot cake now in the professional cycle. Learn french. Don't go and read Botany and zoology in school too o... Likewise Fisheries (like I did), soil science and such funny courses. Read Agricultural Economics, General Agriculture. You will be better positioned for the future.

Capturing and imprisoning your sworn enemies isn't exactly speaking the language "they will understand". Since El-Zazaky has been in prison, has the agitation of the Shiite Muslim youths stopped? No. Infact, it got energized.
If anything were to happen to Nnamdi Kalu in prison this time, Buhari won't be able to stand the onslaught of IPOB who are mostly youths with an ideaology. Let the government proceed with caution.

These pastors of a thing that specializes in duping people in the name of God. It is because of them that people don't believe in God anymore. I am still trying to recover from the 419 a man of God did me in Uyo. Those Akwa Ibom people ehn, fear them oo... Especially when they are pastors

There is no free speech on the internet again. I'm sure Seun will go on Twitter, ranting about how freedom of expression is being blocked by the government, the same person (or at least his cronies) won't bat an eye at blocking your post on his own platform due to the colour of your comment.
Coming down to you OP, they employed you to be keeping prostitution dairy at work right? Whatever two people do behind closed doors seem to be the business of Nigerians before sliced bread was invented. You even had the guts to call out your boss who puts money on your table. Shame.
You should open a church, since your morality compass gets the better part of you. At least it spins more income lately

All these online lawyers self, I'm sure you were called to bar after reading one of John Grishams books. So isn't it a case of consensual sex, when they must have had nice times together. No one is even batting an eye that the man is philandering around. Is the girl under 18? Why did she run away after the "manslaughter" and not turn herself in? Another thing is that why did she make a withdrawal from the man's account?
All these young girls of nowadays that are full of greed. Her name is even Chidinma, a name any reasonable person should avoid. All the Chidinmas I've met in my life are deadly snakes

osazsky:
Thank God Twitter is dead..we for don they hear hashtag..foolish people go begin raise 25milion for a 17 year old prostitute who was impregnated by an agbero conductor out of pitty.y did she burn the office in sane country the child would be taken over by d govt why she serves her time of min 250 years u can't burn down govt infrastructure and people start celebrating u.well God has a reason for everything on her way to buy abortion pills during protest she was arrested and spent 9 months in jail.imediately she gave birth she gained freedom.in Edo na this kind pikin we dey call ugiagbe u can't kill me

I wonder how you lots sleep at night when you have these kinds of toxic thoughts on the inside. It must be a burden you carry around everyday. Shame!
You're not important, guy. At least Oba of Benin's wife cannot come for your burial.

The North has been intoxicated with the power curse, just as oil was thought to be a blessing to the south-south. In few years to come, their land will remain desolate just because the very thing they had to their advantage was not utilized wisely. The likes of Sheik Gumi must feel they are balling right now, but only time will tell the damage they're doing to their own people.

Be nice to undertaker's, for surely they will be the one to carry you to your grave. These low class people you think should skip your wedding actually have more goodwill at heart than posh, sophisticated city people.
I wonder how Nigerians spend much on making their wedding the talk of the town and in less than 3 years, the couple can't stand themselves in the same room again

Thanks. It actually works. Please share your telegram link

Those of you saying that Nigeria won't do well storing it's citizens data on a foreign soil, have you thought of the one already in private hands? This NIN of a thing has been contracted to private business, ( as if that's worth worrying about, when a foreign company handles passport issuance in the diaspora) hence, the physical record of phone number and other details of all the people of a local government are already in one guy's hands. If a mercenary wants that information, he will just download the NIN registration centers all around the country and extract the information at a price. We are already compromised.
Moreso, Pantami has been crying that all Nigerians register for NIN, but alas, they don't have enough storage capacity to handle just 5 states record or thereabout. Shame!

CelestineNelson:
Wrong...The university committee will never allow you to deflate their ego. They have a law department and you are hiring 1 or two lawyer to drag a case! I would rather advice the guy to pleade for suspension if guilty, instead of trying to take the bull by a broken horns. Have not seen someone that won university senate and students affairs unit in any case-avoid them by doing the right thing always...I wish the guy the very best in this case, is not easy to waste someone's time...I pray he regained his studentship. Amen

You're obviously not very wise. So because they have a legal unit, one should not seek to engage them lawfully when there is injustice? Well, even if the case lingers for long, the guy has a very solid case and the university panel is not Almighty.
