A few years ago, the current Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly; Mudasiru Obasa was also exposed by Sahara Reporters as having a forged LASU Law Degree certificate.

If you were to ask a typical Nigerian about corruption, they would likely define it as "government officials stealing our money. However, this definition only focuses on one aspect of corruption and fails to acknowledge the various ways in which corruption manifests. For example, corruption can also be seen in a lecturer who makes it mandatory for students to purchase their books to pass their course, a journalist who demands payment for writing a story, or a company executive who awards contracts to themselves through intermediaries. Even NGOs, activists, lawyers, and individuals from various walks of life contribute to the corruption chain subtly. It is my belief, and I will continue to argue, that corruption does not suddenly arise the day someone joins the government. Rather, it is a process that begins in childhood and is gradually practiced in small increments until the individual gains positions of power and influence. Consider this: will a market woman who manipulates her scales suddenly become honest when she becomes a council chairman or commissioner?

“MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY.” ----- AN ANECDOTE

“Germany is a highly industrialised country. In such a country, many will think its people lead a luxurious life. When we arrived at Hamburg, my colleagues and I walked into a restaurant where we noticed that a lot of tables were empty. There was a particular table where a young man and woman were having their meal. There were only two dishes and two cans of beer on the table. I wondered if such simple meal could be romantic, and whether the lady would not eventually leave this stingy guy. There were a few old ladies on another table as I continued to make my observation. When a dish is served, the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would finish every bit of the food on their plates.

“As we were hungry, our local colleague ordered more food for us and by the time we were done eating, there was still about one third of unconsumed food on our table. But as we were about leaving the restaurant, the old ladies spoke to us in English, making it very clear that they were displeased about the fact that we were wasting so much food. ‘We paid for our food, it is none of your business how much food we left behind,’ my colleague who hosted us told the old ladies who appeared to be furious.

“At that point, one of them brought out her mobile phone and made a call to someone. Interested in what she was doing since we committed no crime, we tarried a while. Not long after, a man in uniform, apparently from a social security outfit given his uniform arrived. Upon knowing what the dispute was, he issued us a 50 Euro fine.

“When we asked for what our offence was, the officer told us in a very stern voice, ‘always order only what you can consume. The money you spend is yours but resources belong to the society. There are many people in the world who are facing shortage of resources so you have no reason to waste resources.”

Betting is not a scam, but the system is rigged to favour the betting companies.

It's not 100% rigged, so clever bettors who aren't greedy usually make steady income from it (Sports betting).

NOTE: This answer is based on Sports betting and might not be applicable to others forms of betting.

Another problem why people lose all the time is because they treat it like lottery or like a roll of a dice. Most people see betting as being dependent on luck. That's just fallacy.

There is a little bit of luck in Sports betting but majority of time, it is purely mathematical.

Team A vs Team B

There are three options:

A to Win
Draw
B to Win
This gives you 1/3 chances of winning.

(1÷3) x 100% =33.33%

Meaning you have approximately 33.33% chances of winning a single game.

Accumulate 10 games in a bet slip and your chance of winning becomes:

Total number of accumulator = 10

Total outcome (based on 3-way market) = 3×10 =30

Chances of getting a Win = (1÷30) x 100% = 3.33%

Now 3.33% is close to impossible. It means you will hardly get a win. Most people bet this way, that is why they are unable to win often.

The solution is to avoid being greedy. The higher the number of accumulators, the higher the chances of losing. So stick to singles bet or few accumulators.

You can make risky bet once in a while for the sake of fun, but your main bets should be mathematically sound.

If you cannot avoid greed in sports betting, it will be better to quit. Forget the fake Twitter or Instagram posts telling you they just won 30 millions, 25 millions etc.

Those are just to feed your greed and get you hooked on to Sports betting like drugs. The only people that stays afloat in sports betting are the non greedy ones. Others get drowned in sea of losses. Sport betting is a scary place for greedy folks.

Sorry if my answer is a little bit too strong. There are a lot of Sports betting promoters out there.

They suger-coat a lot of these thing so bigginers don't know what they are getting into and thus end up being decieved. This is the hash truth about football betting.

THE INFIDELITY ECONOMY IN NIGERIA

If married men become "responsible" overnight, millions of Nigerian young women and their families would slip into abject poverty.

They have seen young women through university, established businesses, employed, sponsored them abroad for studies, immigration or vacation and empowered them in return for sexual gratification. The "infidelity economy" in Nigeria is worth billions of dollars and creates jobs and livelihoods for millions. Though wives often wail about their husband's infidelity, ironically, women have been the greatest beneficiaries of men's infidelity.

Some women date multiple married men and they live like Princesses, using high-end cars, live in luxury apartments etc., without a real job.

Some have 9-5 jobs as camouflages but married men are their real benefactors.

Some husbands get jobs, contracts or other opportunities without realizing that it was their wives' married ex's or current dates that made it happen.

Many women who are now married today, benefited immensely from dating married men, they know all the tricks involved and so, they fight and even risk their lives, trying to prevent their husbands from having affairs because these affairs are amongst other risks, financially draining. They know!

Married men have done more for young women than their fathers/mothers or in some cases, husbands and the government.

So Tinubu is back from Benin Republic?

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State has ordered the remand of Bamishe Ajetunmobi, a Ponzi Scheme Operator, who has been on the run since 2021, over alleged N7.5 billion fraud.

Justice Chukwuejekwu Aneke, remanded the Ponzi Scheme Operator, after he pleaded not guilty to 12 counts charge made against him by the men of Force Criminal Investigation Department Force CID (Annex) Alagbon-Ikoyi, Lagos.

Arraigning the defendant, the prosecution counsel Morufu Animashaun, a legal office in the Force CIID, annex, Alagbon-Ikoyi, told the defendant conspired with his wife, Elizabeth Ajetunmobi, who is now at large, and their company, Imaging Global Solutions Limited, committed the offences something in February 2021.

Animashaun told the court that the defendant and his wife had lured the fraud victims with 10 percent returns on investment (ROI), to commit the offences.

Among those allegedly defrauded by the defendant and the sums received from them includes: Mr. Olawale Lawal, N1.5 billion; Mrs. Kate Omu, N500 million, Mr. Erhi Catherine Ojoboh, N2 billion, and Mr. Abioye Idris, N3.5 billion.

The prosecutor told the court that the offences committed by the defendant contravened sections 8 (a), 1(a)(c) and 1 (2) of the Advance Fee fraud and other Fraud related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section I (3) of the same Act.

He also told the court that the offences are contrary to section 383 of the Criminal Code Cap C38 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 and punishable under Section 390 (a) of the same.

Prior to his arraignment, the prosecutor told the charge against the defendant was filed in 2022, and that when the defendant came elusive, the police secured a warrant of arrest from the court.

He told the court that the defendant was however arrested by International Police (Interpol) at Ivory Coast, this year.

Animashaun, by oral application, urged the court to strike out the name of the defendant's wife from the charge, so that the defendant arraignment can go on.

Following the submission made by the prosecutor, Justice Aneke struck out the name of the defendant's wife from the charge, and ordered that the charge be ready to the defendant.

The defendant however, pleaded not guilty to the 12 counts charge, when they were read to him.

The defendant was not represented by any lawyer.

Following defendant's not guilty plea, the the prosecutor asked the court for a trial date. He also urged the court to remand him in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCoS) till the determination of the charges against him.

Consequently, Justice Aneke ordered that the defendant be remanded at the Nigerian Correctional Services centre, Ikoyi and adjourned the case to November 29, fo trial.

Ewedu warps the human brain.... Study has shown.
Avoid that disgusting algae

We raised every Igbo that matters in history with our Ewedu soup.
Ojukwu's father arrived in Lagos when he was 26 years old. He raised Ojukwu a Lagos boy.
Ekwueme attended Kings College and was developed eating Ewedu.
Chinua Achebe and the Okigbo brothers were raised and developed in Ibadan eating Ewedu and Gbegiri.
Emeka Anyaoku's wife prepared Yoruba ewedu for him everyday as a Yoruba woman to develop his brain, that is why he is different from Nnamdi Cownu and Simon Ekpa.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla was raised with our Ewedu and gbegiri going to school at St. Annes Ibadan. Just like we raised her father in Ibadan.
You see most Igbo with anything to show were raised with our Ewedu.

You are right. Ikorodu was 28,000 plus for Labour. Still a far distance to APC's 50k plus

dustmalik:
Tune in to Channels tv, it's been announced. The numbers LP is getting in some LGs in Lagos is huge. I really don't understand what's going on in Lagos. This is not supposed to be happening

Yes Labour Party won the three LGs that have just been announced i.e Somolu, Eti Osa and Kosofe.

In Agege, APC had 29 thousand plus, Labour had 13 thousand plus. In Bdadagry APC had 31 thousand plus while Labour had 10 thousand plus. In Lagos Isaland, APC had APC – 27,760

A Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, yesterday, sentenced a 41-year-old teacher, Chukwu Ndubuisi, to life imprisonment for defiling a six-year-old pupil of Mind Builders School, Lagos.

Justice Sedoten Ogunsanya sentenced Ndubuisi after finding him guilty of a one-count charge of child defilement filed against him by the Lagos State government.

The judge, who held that the prosecution had proved his case against the defendant beyond reasonable doubt, said the quality of evidence against the defendant was compelling.

Justice Ogunsanya held that the defendant usually sent the survivor’s friend to call her and that the first time the defendant defiled her was in the female toilet, adding that the second time was in the art room.

The judge said the survivor told the court that when the defendant is finished, he would clean up the survivor with tissue paper.

The court noted that the defendant had unhindered access to the child and defiled her several times.

Justice Ogunsanya discountenanced the evidence of two prosecution witnesses who are medical doctors for being contradictory, pointing out that they did not come as expert witnesses.


The court held that the account of the survivor and that of her mother was uncontroverted, and corroborated each other.

The judge also dismissed the submission by defence witnesses that the incident was not recorded on the school’s CCTV. She upheld the result of the test conducted at the Mirabel Centre, which showed that the survivor had torn hymen and reddish vulva and
that there was evidence of forceful penetration.She therefore convicted the defendant as charged.

The defendant’s counsel, Mr. O.C. Olagunju, who pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, prayed that no case of improper behaviour has ever been brought against the defendant nor had he any case at any police station until this case.

But the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Jubril Kareem argued that the law under which the defendant was charged does not give the court any discretion.

He urged the court to impose the mandatory sentence stipulated in the law. Justice Ogunsanya subsequently sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment.

The convict (Ndubuisi) was the art teacher of the school as at June 2016 when the offence was committed.

He was arrested and initially arraigned before Ogudu Magistrate Court on a charge of forceful penetration.

He pleaded not guilty before his case was later transferred to High Court before Justice Ogunsanya, following advice by the Director of Public Prosecutions ( DPP).
The matter was later taken up by the State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA).

Newton2024:
No matter how you express your beef and anger against H.E Peter Obi there are facts you cannot change which include;

1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.

2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years over 230 roads

3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.

4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.

5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.

6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.

7. When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.

You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.

Peter Obi governed Anambra for 8years...

Where is his deputy governor?

His Commissioners?

His Special Advisers?

How come not even one of them campaigns with and for him?

People who knows Obi best avoid him.

You who don't know him at all carry and you carry Obi matter on your head.....

Fake Statistics and figures here and there.

Lazy People following Losers Party....

Your Secretariat dey Onitsha bridge.
