kosovo: This is just one of the news Nigerians ought to have heard 3-4 years ago. However, because of how complex Nigeria is and sympathy to ethnic bigotry, I guess the president was slow to avoid rebellion from the North, which is still obviously visible.
Senerio1:
Had the president declared full scale war on these terrorist before Now. The Northern statesmen who have sympathy for these terrorist will start their madness, insisting a Minority leader is killing the Hausa(s).
We heard one of the clearless statements from BUHARI, where he wanted faceless terrorist to be given same treatment as the Niger-Delta militants. He concluded by saying "an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North"
When President Yar Adua wanted Amesty for the militants, it was Vice President Goodluck Jonathan they picked as the negotiator. The VP went into the creeks without his security men. They secured a deal which ended the crises.
Reversal1:
Buhari is picked as the negotiator for the faceless terrorist fighting for an Islamic state which is not justifiable like the what the militants fought for. (note the usage of militant and terrorist for Niger-Delta and Boko Haram respectively). Buhari accepts initially, then rejects the process because he sees that he can use the insurgency to gain sympathy votes which is what could have happened today. Buhari claims he can end insurgency in one month, but can only do that from Aso Rock. This does raise eyebrows. If he decides to sit and watch the throat of innocent Nigerians being slit by these terrorist, when he can do something but refuses, it sends a very strong message to those who can make use of their brain to think.
Why the sudden offensive by the Presidency?
Good question. If you read scenerio1, you'd realize a lot has changed. Chad and Cameroon decided to show total commitment to ending insurgency.. Then, there was a boost from the AU, which affirmed 7,800 troops for the same cause. Obviously, the Northern elements can't use Jonathan as the scapegoat when the bombardment of the region starts. It's no longer an internal issue, forces from the AU decision makes it a continental problem. Is Jonathan Afraid to Lose?
If Jonathan was scared of loosing, he would have quickly accepted the suggestion of IBB at the security council meeting not to conduct elections in the troubled states (Buhari's stronghold). President Jonathan rejected the idea immediately it came, insisting elections must be carried out nation-wide. Things like this, you are probably reading about it for the first time because the media we have today, only search for bad things and these are further echoed by APC apologists.
President Jonathan would be returned elected, Nigeria hasn't got to that point where you can oust an incumbent president whose powers know no bound. It is not enough to perform media hype with a slogan. This isn't the United States, elections are not won online but by grass root politicking and on the day of the election.
Most of the APC agents would be rendered powerless on the day of election by the monetary power of the PDP. It's always going to happen.. Anyone deceiving the APC and her candidate is really doing a nice job.
Until we have a democratic system, where Police and Army chiefs are not nominated and appointed by the president. Until we have a system where the electoral chairman isn't nominated and appointed by the president.. We would keep enduring this wild goose chase.
Let me state here that I have no sympathy for any political party and/or their candidates.
You seem to know so much. Hope faithful moles in the army still find their feet.
Guys, either way with these two gladiators, isn't it a deadend?
Besides, those screaming pdp is this and that seem to quickly forget that very many of these APC people were themselves core PDP elements who have not changed their characters, including likes of Atiku, Obj even IBB people we hv suffered under them.
Interesting times. Watching to see what plays out.
konos: Bihari, talk, talk and talk! U when someone is not the driving a car, he wil say "if I am giving the opportunity to drive, I will do so and so..." it is so easy to criticize. But when he gets there will he do as promised? I rest my case
Reminds of Obj who had 3 different shots at the presidency yet could not perform all the wonders one could imagine.
He now speaks against the current govt as a "messiah".
nwanna89: I am sure the current administration is doing all these. The real problem with this Boko Haram issue is internal sabotage. I think the govt realized this late, and has started dealing with the problem. Many soldiers and officers are being charged now. Honestly, none of the ideas in that post wowed me. From what my soldier friend who is in the Northeast told me, all those ideas are being implemented currently.
Word! Obviously a major target of these boko murderers is to end up rubbishing the current govt, which already they have achieved as many have simply lost faith in the current govt.
Boko haram is actually a well organised confusion being faithfully and well funded by our very own influential people. They are the major issue!
Very worthy of mention in all this is fact that these boko haram murderers are not just doing these things on their own.
Many fail to recognize that these guys are being backed by our very own very powerful and influential people over there who are themselves are the real bokoharam.
Shekau does not have what it takes to cause this kind of vioence. I am more concerned about their sponsors, and the real undisclosed motive behind all this bloodshed.
People should think deeply about this:Who are those our people behind this bokoharam, and why are they doing this?
HighBK: Earlier this week, Ayo Fayose sponsored a controversial advert in Nigerian Newspapers, notably front-page of Punch (check it here if you missed it). The advert generated a lot of buzz in the media, PDP was quick to disown the advert while Fayose maintained that he has no apology for the advert.
Well, seems the advert fund is not exhausted. The Governor today sponsored another ad-set, taking a shot at General Muhammadu Buhari. In the advert as seen on page 9. of the Punch; he emphasized that Buhari is too old to be President at 72.
Buhari is too old to be President at 72 Even APS Governor Raji Fashola admits the need for youthfulness in governance. Fashola has said, "When I took this job at the age of 44, I was counting the number of white hair on my head. Today at 52, I am counting the number of black hair on my head. "You see, this job is a tough job, you need youthfulness to do this job"
Hmmm! This Fayose guy still sayng the same thing in a different way. Fact that the general has come of age is undeniable. Even his shaky voice says so.
Wahala90: Who killed Ben Ogedengbe by a death penalty for a crime that didn't carry death penalty when he committed it? Who doesn't attend the Federal Executive Council meetings yet collects his allowances? Who cancelled former Lagos Governor Jakande's metroline and forfeited the $50 million paid for it by the then Lagos State Government? Who used Violence to stop the 1985 National Conference of the National Association of Nigeria Students? Who jailed Tai Solarin and denied him his asthma drugs simply because he campaigned against military rule and for democracy? Who Jailed Nduka Irabor and Tunde Thompson for writing a truthful report which embarrassed his Government? Who raided respected Papa Awolowo's house and seized his passport so he couldn't travel out of the country? Was he also corrupt? Who threw Former Vice President Alex Ekweme in jail even though it was proven that Ekweme never stole any money? Who jailed honest and respected Pa Adekunle Ajasin? Who jailed Fela Kuti in I984 for singing against the dictatorial tendencies of his Military Government? Who banned the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) during his regime? Who stopped the Ooni of Ife from traveling abroad simply because he visited the holy land of Israel in 1984? Who broke up the press conference of ASSU in 1984 and detained four of their executives? Who jailed Beko Ransome Kuti who only demanded for the release of his brother?
OP nice one! One thing I can say is people esp in position should be warry things they do, as some day, the stories will be told like this. Obviously, every little mistake a person makes can turn to become a big issue in times to come. . .It's always good to carry the people along.
Guys, in as much these efforts are very much appreciated by me, what still bleeds my heart, is that STILL MANY WILL END UP BEING SCAMMED and will only later try seeking these quality info after the harm has been done to them!
blink182: Sir escrow can be applied to any transaction be it pre-order or outright purchase. In the case of pre-order the seller funds the purchase of item but escrow ensures his money is ready when goods or services are delivered. As a matter of fact, we make the buyer pay in full before we ask the seller to proceed with purchase.
Our Internet market is ripe and ready to go. Fraudsters will always be online but there is a way to check mate them. Sorry for this but the guy who lost 300k, if he had paid via escrow, it would have cost 4% of total sum but by now he would have had the power to call back all his money and absolutely no need for this heartache.
As for information gathering, get all parties involved offline. Discuss through phone calls. Please do everything offline and leave seun out of this. The primary aim of nairaland is to create an online community for Nigerians. What you do with your interaction is your interaction and the consequences thereof is your business.
You dont think that is too blunt, nay too harsh?
Just give him the little support he needs, pray it yields result. At the end of the day, it will still will be attended to offline anyway.
At this juncture folks must have a robust way of verifying and being sure they are dealing with the right person while transacting. For example I personally find it embarrassing that many will just jump into such a thread without bothering to at least just go through the first page, which normally will contain the needed info such as contact details, account number, etc, the very vital few pieces of info which form the basis of the transaction.
Not meaning to begin to pass blames, What bothers me more now is that many are still certainly going to fall for crooks like this guy and will come back seeking for help, this thread and the info herein not even withstanding.
Walahi, this thread is coming in a good time. Those who have what it takes should please not back down. It's time to put efforts together and nail this one crook, once and for all.
Strange to know he is still there doing his thing.
I am aware quite a lot of people here have what it takes to nab, only if they can devote the effort.
Let all those who have been affected put organise themselves and put forward/together details of such so the efforts can have a good result. Issues like this will need documented/verifiable proof/evidence.
Bizbloke, kudos to you for bringing this to the forefront again. You may need to please edit the topic to reflect more clearly what the issue is.
LilNetty: The news has been filled with Ebola: Oh yes...the deadly ebola! Thank God it can be prevented if we are careful where we go and on point with our hygiene. Hmmmm....I bought hand sanitizers about a month ago, before the whole Ebola drama and the tiny bottle cost aboutN300. I was at a supermarket yesterday and that same tiny sized hand sanitizer hadN1300 labelled on it. You could tell the price tag was fresh. Just imagine that! Of course that gingered me to think about ways to make my own hand sanitizer because I cannot come and go and use all my salary to buy that small pangolo sanitizer. If you have the time you can try making your own sanitizer! I like senrenere so I used: *.8-10 drops of Lavender Essential oil (I would have preferred orange because I don't like the scent of lavender) *.1/3 cup of K-Y Gel or some people use Aloe Vera Gel ( KY GEL has glycerin so it will be moisturizing for your hands) *.2/3 cup of Rubbing Alcohol (methylated spirit) *.Empty bottle (to pour in your sanitizer when made) *.Glass bowl for mixing (because essential oils can leave almost a permanent flavour on plastic) *.Daaazaaaal!Essential oils have antiseptic properties, also rubbing alcohol (methylated spirit) is a great disinfectant and it dries up instantly (like ogogoro) so in actual fact, you can use any of the items alone to sanitize your surroundings. You can add water to rubbing alcohol and that can be your sanitizer; it doesn't have to always be in a gel form. Method: Mix these items together, shake vigorously until it blends. Mine had bits of the K-Y Gel but after leavening it for a few hours, it all melted and was a perfect gel! Try it!
Osile2012, so sorry. I feel your pain. Sad many who share such priceless info in here are getting discouraged because those who get help turn out to be VERY UNGRATEFUL.
I just hope you later find tangible answers to your question.
And before you commit your money be sure to do your very own personal research.
Ymodulus: You laughing. Am so serious. Experience is the best teacher. Now i realize some people are not wicked because they really want to but because they were made too.
Young, not time to burn the bridge. Many here are imature with their ways, no doubt!
Let not these hitches stop the fire in you to make impact. You are touching lives, hope you keep in mind.
You can't deny the fact that you have made so much impact in here, far more to an extent that you yourself can imagine.
When you see a genuine need to help do not hesitate, no such good deed can ever be in vain.

spicy007: You know, Chaz B happens to be one of those people you never get to meet but who make strong and positive impact in your life. i remember as far back as 2008, before i got my first ride, when Inspiration FM just started, Sharing Life Issues with Chaz B was one of the first programs that caught my attention. Then i used to hitch a ride with my boss and that program used to keep us company in Lagos traffic on the way home and we'll continue the discussion well after the program has ended and it would be the opening topic for the next morning in the office. I used to wonder how such a man could carry people's burdens on, encourage and pray for them and still carry on with normal life, even when he naturally had problems of his own. From his program came Being Real with Aunt Landa and even when he moved to Rhythm FM, Sharing Life Issues still continued on Inspiration FM. I first saw him at Inspiration Praise Jam in 2011 and i remember having the distinct impression that the man belonged on a pulpit not in a radio cubicle. When he had the kidney transplant, there was overwhelming support from his audience when he came back. There was even a thanksgiving party held in his honour. That must have moved any man to tears. Unfortunately, i couldn't be a part of it but i was so glad he came out alive, considering that his wife was the donor and he had a 4 year old daughter.
Thank God for that man. I am proud to say mine was one of the lives you touched.
You will be fondly rememberd by your taglines: - Welcome to the City of Lah-Gos! - Guard your heart will all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life. - If each one would reach and each one would teach one, what a much better life this would be - Show Love, Just Because!
I hear his Benevolence Baskets are still in place at Inspiration FM and people still drop items there for the less priviledged. God bless you Chaz.
Guard your heart will all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life. - If each one would reach and each one would teach one, what a much better life this would be - Show Love, Just Because!
What more can I say,am in tears now cos of you Chaz B! . . . . Sunset @ dawn!!!
Danielakonic: Direct answer to your questions, you pay her through your Aliexpress ESCROW service (So you're safe).... No service fee, you'll only compensate her if you're using her as a transfer or she make a lil profit if she's purchasing the item for you which will fetch you enough gain. She does quality check and supplier verification... You can use her on Alibaba, Yupoo, Taobao etc etc.... Just chat her, and feel free to ask me questions if need be , as you know their english is not as straight as ours .
Danielakonic: I WILL ALSO LIKE TO MAKE A LITTLE IMPACT ON THIS DISCUSSION.
[/b]PLEASE STOP WASTING MONEY BUYING DIRECTLY FROM ALIEXPRESS, BECAUSE THESE SELLERS ON ALI MAKE ALMOST DOUBLE THE COST PRICE FROM YOU.[b]... (AND IF YOU WILL, JUST MAKE SURE YOU PRICE THE ITEM VERY WELL).
I HAVE THIS SUPPLIER/SELLER THAT I ALWAYS USE IN BUYING THINGS FROM OTHER CHINA LOCATIONS OR SITES LIKE [/b]TAOBAO, JD, 1688, ALIBABA, YUPOO ETC ETC..[b] I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SELLER FOR A LONG TIME NOW TO PURCHASE MY ITEMS ON THESE SITES EVEN USED HER TO PURCHASE A PRESSURE WASHER FROM CHINA WORTH 200K.
I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOUR IMPORTATION BUSINESS WILL YIELD MORE FOR YOU THAN BUYING ON [/b]ALIEXPRESS[b]... YOU'LL GET TO KNOW THAT ITEMS ON ALIEXPRESS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO WHEN SHE MAKE THE TRANSACTIONS FOR YOU... JUST ADD HER CONTACT TO COMPARE PRICES.
HERE IS HOW I DO IT. 1. I LOOK ON ALIEXPRESS ON WHICH EVER ITEM I WANT TO BUY. E.G LADIES HEELS 2. I'LL SEND THE PICTURE TO HER AND SHE'LL GET BACK TO ME IF ITS AVAILABLE OR NOT AND THE SIZES AVAILABLE. 3. AFTER CHATTING ON THE PRICE, SHE'LL SEND ME A LINK TO MAKE THE [/b]PAYMENT[b] TO HER ON HER ALIEXPRESS ACCOUNT WITHOUT CONFIRMING IT AND SHE'LL START PROCESSING IT. 4. I LOG ON TO ALIEXPRESS AND CLICK ON CONFIRM ORDER RECEIVED AFTER I HAD RECEIVED MY PACKAGE IN NIGERIA.
SO WITH THIS, I THINK YOU CAN NEVER LOOSE OR GET SCAMMED SINCE THE TRANSACTION IS STILL WITHIN ALIEXPRESS ESCROW SERVICE.
CONTACT FOR EASY CHAT, YOU CAN CHAT HER ON QQ CHAT (2741271630) WhatsApp on - +8613388667926
I GUESS I'VE DONE SOMETHING SOME PEEPS SHLD BENEFIT FROM.
