Very biased judge

Do you people think at all before commenting on issues?

This is the same judge that granted him bail when he was not eligible or bail in the first place?. What exactly has she done to show she is biased against Kanu? Which judge will grant Kanu bail after jumping bail granted him the first time?

This is too laughable!!

Even Akpata himself won't say such nonsense!

ogbonti:

Coming from Phillip Shaibu, a man who could not win his polling unit in his home town of Uzairue, when he was on the ballot as as DEPUTY GOVERNOR CANDIDATE of the PDP in 2020

What happened to Atiku Abubakar is what will happen to Phillip

What is the path way forward for Phillip in his political career going forward?

He cant go to Senate because Oshomole is there

He cant be GOVERNOR because Okpebholo is there

He cant be DEPUTY GOVERNOR because he has served his term

Even if Okpebholor is impeached, Dennis Idahosa will be Governor

He cant be a Minister because Tinubu has already picked his cabinet

He cant be anything because every office at the Federal Level is occupied

SO WHAT IS SHAIBU PARTICULARLY HAPPY ABOUT? I DO NOT KNOW?

Asue is a multi billionaire - he wont suffer in his life

Obaseki is a multi billionaire - he wont suffer in his life

SO, WHAT IS ALL THIS FOOLISHNESS ABOUT FROM SHAIBU?

A case of "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING"

He will soon be another FFK - Used, dumped and forgotten!!!!

Would he have been better off if he has stayed loyal to Obaseki? Obaseki that wanted to retire him. Yes, he is retired, but he also ensured Obaseki lost. That is goal/goal. Make everybody go home go lick their wounds.

Beremx:
Who's leading abeg? All these ones quoting me upandan talking nonsense.

Who's leading please?

It is not about who is leading now. PDP has lost the election!

Ojiofor:
Nigerians should forget any election under Tinubu's leadership.It will be nearly impossible to defeat him or any candidate he supports.
He is a master of rigging,forgery and corruption without any iota of shame.how can you expect a free and fair election for such a man?

How exactly was this election rigged?
There was security, no ballot was snatched, nobody was intimidated, people buying votes were arrested, results were uploaded to the server.
How was the election rigged? In what way was the integrity o the election compromised? Or is it about claiming it is rigged if your candidate loses?

tsephanyah:
I don't know anything about Obaseki's tenure as a governor... pls is he that bad people are voting for APC or it's rigged

1. He is bad.
2. He was not a politician. He won twice because politicians backed him. (1st backed by Oshiomole, 2nd time by Shuaibu, PDP party structure and even APC people outside Edo) He now thought he is a master.
3. He hijacked PDP structure from PDP people that gave him the platform. Gave nothing to them. You must have seen people resigning from PDP in Edo recently. Those are PDP politicians telling him to win without them since he chopped without them!

It is unfortunate for Edo. His candidate has the best profile, but election is a popularity contest! It is not about competence!

villagereporter:


But it is not a crime to be a terrorist, bandits and UGM. Bandits were openly harassing and joking about this government on TikTok no arrest, they go into the villages collect ransom, kill their abductees,no arrest, but the wèrè govt can flex muscles with non violent protesters whose only sin is to demand good governance.

Infact Nigeria's youth and indeed e- warrior too docile and suffering from ethnic bigotry.

I hope the government has answered your question about if it is a crime or not to be a terrorist, or a bandit with the way they are being eliminated.

naptu2:
It was often the case during the Cold War that cultural attaches at embassies were usually actually spies. The position of cultural attache gave them diplomatic immunity and ensured that they could not be arrested when their activities cause problems (they were usually just expelled from their host country).

In Nigeria, for example, the director general of the NIA holds the title of ambassador.

The British Council is the cultural arm of the UK Foreign Office.

Mr David Roberts, a former director of the British Council in Nigeria, said this about Secretary Blinken's media conference.




In response David Hundeyin made this post:

This David guy is something else! He was accused of being used by Russia (knowingly or otherwise) and he used a Russian media outlet to refute the allegation!!!!

naptu2:
Some also accuse the Americans of doing the same thing that they accuse the Russians of doing.

There is an American organisation called the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Some say that it is a front for the CIA and that the CIA uses it to destabilise governments that it does not like.

There are several Nigerian social media influencers that have links to the NED.

In fact, Rinu (one of the main organizers of ENDSARS) posted pictures of herself and other "activists" participating in a program organized by NED!
So, the question that bothered me at the time was. Did NED tried to use the ENDSARS to destabilize Nigeria or carry out a regime change or were they "recruited" after showing their worth with the ENDSARS

Notfogotten:
When we say a toilet cleaner in USA, Canada, UK, Australia is better than the manger of zenith bank, what we mean is that the toilet cleaner will never suffer what you are currently suffering in Nigeria.

Example include:

A. A toilet cleaner will never queue for fuel.
B. A toilet cleaner is less likely to be kidnapped in those countries
C. A toilet cleaner has 24/7 electricity.
D. A toilet cleaner has access to excellent Medicare.
E. A toilet cleaner is less likely exposed to armed robbers
F. A toilet cleaner eats better food and fruits than your bank manager.
G A toilet cleaner has access to good amenities
H. A toilet cleaner may have his children schooling for free in primary and high school
I. A toilet cleaner has a longer live expectancy than your bank manager in Nigeria.

Leave Nigeria for us and go and be a cleaner abroad!
Simple thing

MEEVEET:
Is it a crime to help plan n organize protest?

1. It is a crime to receive funds from foreign sources ( including foreigner living in Nigeria) to organise protest or even anything to do politically.
2. It is a crime to organise protest that calls for change of government through an undemocratic means. Protesting with Russian flags, calling for military take overs are crimes!

You can see the only question they asked was whether he received any funds. So, organising protests can be a crime.

Racoon:
It is really interesting that Anambra and Lagos all bagged the dirtiest cities award in 2024 because they are 2 highly industrial cities with high waste turnover but poor management

Lagos has poor waste management.? Which state has a better waste management system that matches that of Lagos, talk less of surpassing that of Lagos?

Kobojunkieee:
What does it matter their roles in the protest as their is no law against providing support of any kind to protestors? https://jurist.ng/act/criminal_code_act

There are laws against destruction of lives and properties. The Security agencies are claiming the financiers were planning to cause mayhem.
Well, those caught will know if there are laws against what they planned to do.

Kobojunkieee:
There is no record of this man working or creating any product in all of his life or running any profitable company in or outside of Nigeria before entering into politics. Dino is a career politician.

No!!!!!
Yes, there is no record of Dino working or managing a business before joining politics. The fact that there is no record or that Dino can't mention what he was doing before politics does not mean he wasn't engaged in something. It is just something he can't mention!. Same for Obi!

Bestmanfornow:

Exploration of oil and gas is expensive list I don't know why you guys like arguing unnecessarily.

What does it mean that oil exploration is on the exclusive list?
Being on the exclusive list does not mean states can't participate in oil exploration! It means only FG can regulate the oil industry. States can set up companies that apply for license and participate in whatever part of the oil industry they wish. They can own oil fields, have refineries, distribute fuels, etc. The Aviation industry is on the exclusive list, yet Akwa Ibom has an airline. So, an industry being on the exclusive list does not mean states and local governments can't participate in the industry. It just mean they can't make laws that affects the industry.
Odua investment is owned by the SW states. They have at least one oil field. Why can't other states apply for oil fields?

Bestmanfornow:

I believe you understand sectors in exclusive list

What does it mean if something is on the exclusive list? .
It just means only FG can regulate that industry. It doesn't mean other levels of government can't participate in the industry! Presently,Odua own an oil block. That was why I said govt that want to participate in the oil industry should set up companies and approach FG for relevant licenses

Bestmanfornow:
Anambra should be one of the leading state but FG ignored oil and gas in Anambra and other southeast states and busy wasting resources on barren land with no oil

Everything can't be done by govt!
Either get an explorative license and look for oil in Anambra or ask your state governor to set up a company and get the license.

atiku4President:
A senator in the calibre of Adams Oshiomhole telling lies on national TV deserves condemnation from all well meaning Nigerians

Oshiomhole referred to the case filled by the delegates that were not allowed to vote. Post the CTC of that.

......RESOLVES ALLEGED EXCLUSION OF DELEGATES

... IGHODALO'S NAME PUBLISHED ON INEC'S FINAL LIST OF EDO GUBER CANDIDATES.



https://leaders.ng/2024/08/11/revealed-ctc-documents-show-appeal-court-judgement-in-favour-of-asue-ighodalo/

What about the judgement of the case filled by the DELEGATES? Is it in favour of Asue?

DevilsEqual:
Tinubu has a lot of work to do

How could NUPRC be pushing that hard and the IOC still dont wanna do the needful?

Is the IOC not answerable to any higher body?

cant NUPRC report the IOC to a higher body?

It seems there are too many loopholes in that ministry and FG might prolly have to overhaul the entire ministry to fight the corruption

6 of 15 isnt 60% by the way

Because the IOC own the crude and they have usually sold them ahead of time. Why didn't Dangote arrange for his crude supply beforehand?

Blocking roads is NOT a protest and security agencies are correct to disperse people who block roads. Condolences to the family of the deceased.

MadamVanessa:



Nothing can stop this protest not even the frog eyes dullàrd.

Nobody is saying don't protest! Just don't block roads!

The "protesters" were not disturbed until they attempted to block roads! Protest, but don't disturb the rights of other citizens!

metaverse2:

https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/five-uk-climate-protesters-jailed-conspiracy-block-major-road-2024-07-18/

They were not jailed for blocking roads! Get your facts right. It is even in the post!
They were jailed for PLANNING to block roads!

pipnator00:
My opinion.. I see this as criminality on the part of the govt! Banks just like every other business is out to make profit for its shareholders and
they will do that in whatever way or loophole available to them.

Currency speculation and trading is what the investment banking arm of every bank does and making profits out of the the ill advised floating of the naira by this government is just one of the available loophole. This windfall tax can only be described as one thing, punishment and mafia style taxation on these banks.

The government should simply take their L and learn never to issue policies without seriously running a stress test of the policy before its issued. This mafia style taxation will send a wrong signal to the wider investment community both locally and internationally.

Plus in case of next time, this mafia style taxation will push the banks into a smarter way of cooking their books/report and never report such profits to the public anymore.

There is a reason this type of tax has a name! It is a windfall tax. Nigeria will not be the first country to tax companies that makes extra profit due to circumstances beyond normal operations. So, it is no criminal.
The govt is trying to make up taxes they lost to manufacturing companies declaring loses due to FX issues.

The FG and the sente should know banks have spent this money oo.

They have paid bonus and dividend! Any tax will be paid on earnings from this year!

The CBN is also asking banks to increase their paid-up capital! Make dem no kill banks oooo

MaziX:
Lol.. this is what we need on nairaland not all this tribal wars.. Make person just come online start to laff like Goat last born My own dick Hmmmmmmmm I Don carry many Stds I still dey knack raw.. wiffy still dey observe.

But for this guys up there saying they a man arrested them cux they were dating there wives.. Na lie.. even that police officers go lose him job if they dare.. 2 adults dating them selves.. u wan arrest.. even if helinues wife bring body.. she go collect

It is actually a crime in Nigeria to toast married woman. Talkless of dating her.
Men that know what they are doing will ensure the womaniser goes to jail, not only cell.

aderadio1:
The protest is next month, they have not blocked the road yet. So chill. Btw when we block the road for few minutes prayers on Fridays, are we committing crime?

Yes!

Muslims blocking roads or any reason are committing crimes.
Fact!

aderadio1:
2020 protest is about police/Sars brutality. That was why police were targeted. This August protest is about bad governance. Police should not try to shoot if the protesters are not violent.
Let Nigerians protest peacefully, it's their right.

Govt too should do something about the economic situation. It's terrible down there.

Bocking the road is a crime! If the Nigerian Govt should apply relevant laws against protesters, you will label the govt despotic.
You can protest, but don't infringe on the rights of freedom of movement of others

ravensckar:
Paid agents are all over this forum trying to deter people from their fundamental right.

"No protest allowed in Lagos" "Protest in your region" and all the bla bla bla.

We're talking about protesting against hunger, hardship, insecurity and the political rascality of the ruling class. You guys have started fanning the embers of tribalism because of the crumbs that you were paid.

It's the same way you folks were shouting "Yoruba Ronu" during election period as if Tinubu's misrule wouldn't affect everyone. Una don start again abi?

Much later when the situation of the country gets worse, it's you foo.ls that will still litter this forum (with your alt monikers) to beg for handouts. Shebi suffer no dey tire una abi?


Meanwhile, I'm a full-blooded Yoruba man and I'll participate in the protest should it hold. No amount of threat or blackmail will deter me. Anybody wey do anyhow reach my side, him go see anyhow.

#Enough_of_This_Nonsense

This is about Lagos only. Go and protest in your state. If you like burn down all your state have. Lagos state people are saying they are not interested in any protest after what happened during ENDSARS.

Tsarbomba:
I can see something is wrong with you upstairs. Where in my post did I advocate for violence protest, and whyshould I go and protest inlagos?

This post is about police readiness in Lagos! In Lagos.

Police readiness against violent protest in Lagos.

Tsarbomba:
what? Are you mentally ok? why should I leave my state and travel 500 km to go and protest in lagos?

I hope you will protest in your state then!
