Orlandoo:
Just to save face and make it look like they were going to Portugal in the first place. Traore with iron cast balls showed weak Tinubu what a president is capable of doing.

Why don't pack your bags and go live in Burkina Faso under a dictator.

And see whether you will be able to make comment about the Head of state like this ?

Enddy50ty:
Do your research, don't come online and expose your stupidity

The arrogance of you people at dishing out propaganda and falsehood is unprecedented.
And you always quick to insult anyone that exposed your falsehood.
Even among the 5 richest men in Nigeria, there is no single Igbo man among. Talk more of an institution that is renowned for producing wealthy billionaires.

Let me just give you two

Based on recent data, here are the Harvard graduates who are among the 20 richest individuals in the world:
Steve Ballmer: Rank 10, with a net worth of approximately $118 billion. He graduated from Harvard with a degree in mathematics in 1977. He was the former CEO of Microsoft.

Michael Bloomberg: Rank 14, with a net worth of approximately $105 billion. He earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard Business School in 1966. He is the founder and CEO of Bloomberg L.P.

Enddy50ty:
This is a testament to the fact that "The IGBO apprenticeship system has produced more billionaires than Harvard business school".

Are you in your right senses? What's this compared to the wealth of Harvard graduates

In One Sentence

This new bill stops landlord bullying, protects tenants from sudden eviction and unfair rent hikes, makes disputes faster to resolve, and turns harassment into a serious crime.

This is a life saver for me .
My landlord died in June and since the wife has been tormenting me .
First, she aid she wants to convert the three bedroom to two room and parlour self contained. I said no wahala. The house is a BQ at the back of the main building which she and her husband, the landlord, lived before he died .
This is a woman that had left the landlord by packing her properties almost a year before the man died . I was left with the man alone in the compound. All their kids are travelled abroad
Non in Nigeria.
The same month the landlord died this woman had been verbally issuing me an eviction notice.
Early this month I got a quit notice from her agent, giving me a back dated six months to pack out.
This woman doesn't live my compound anymore. Ever since the quit notice she is always bringing various people claiming they want to inspect the apartment.
I'm getting fed up with her intimidation. These people enter my bedroom , my bathroom and all. I've been respectful of her because of my relationship with her husband and children but it's now getting unbearable.

This law is a deal breaker for me

All I see here is that the South East is a leech

I'm gonna make my money in this Nigeria. I don't need to japa. Just have to be creative and original

miracle002:
Let me shock you, you are not the one that said it rather it is the Spirit of God that spoke through you. You may be a Prophet but you may not know.

I created a post about what you just said on Wednesday and nairalanders wanted to eat me raw. They labelled me all sorts of names

You just confirmed to me what God told me that morning. I don't know you, we have never met before or discussed about this issue but you are confirming exactly what God told me. You may be a prophet or have the spirit of prophecy.

Let me repeat what God told me.

Dangote is not fighting for the masses. He is fighting for his own selfish ambition of monopolizing the petroleum industry. He does not want competition at all.

He is crashing the price just to win the heart of Nigerians. If he is given the monopoly, he will show Nigerians his true color.

God told me he will fail with his inordinate ambition. Competition will continue and fuel importation will not stop.

You people should stop all this monopolizing noise . There is no law stopping anyone from setting up a refinery . We have have many private refineries in Nigeria. Dangote is not the only one with refinery.

Anyone that feels indifference that Dangote is fighting the Cabal should set up his own Refinery and stand by for corrupt elements to run it down

He obviously fighting for the survival of his refinery and it pays the masses . That's all that matters now .

iwaeda:
You don't understand basic truth, no one is buying our crude. Buhari will not use entire crude, some are meant for refinery, some meant to be sold. Go and read about how crude are appropriated.

Why can't they appropriate more for local refineries since they having problem selling in the foreign market ?
You take your products to your customers, that's basic .

How is this possible when Dangote keep complaining about not being given enough crude oil?

Certainly, some group of people are bent on crippling that Refinery.

I've seen something like this before in. Meatpie I bought at a Mr Biggs outlet at Ikotun .
These happens because these fast food joints just microwave old food when they serve it.

Gone are the days they give leftovers to staff

Gradually.

I knew this man can sell for even less than #500 but the FG won't let him .

bobogogo:
Calling yourself a nigerian doesnt make it a nation.
Google the meaning of a nation and tell me if nigeria comes close to its meaning.
I am a child of truth.

Its obvious you have your own delusional meaning of a nation. I don't need to Google anything to know the meaning of a nation.
I'm certain You're from the East that why you nurse this opinion.

Don't worry, I understand your pain but I can't help you.

bobogogo:
If you want to know if nigeria is a country, test it with a referendum. No b to dey make mouth.
Nigeria is a local and international market square and not a country.
It is not even close to being a nation.

As long we call ourselves Nigerians - it's a nation.

drstranged:
Question is, do you have a country Keep deceiving yourself

So Niger and Burkina Faso are countries and Nigeria is not ?

All thee traitors supporting a dictator country over their own country, are you people and at all?

Why so much hatred for the country you live in ? They're all over X too setting up ghosts accounts to the FG and denegrate Nigeria.

I just pity those doctors in Niger ,Mali and Faso . If you allow Ipobs lead you on , sorry is your name

God1000:
With all due respect ma, you disrespected a sitting governor and you should apologize to him and the people of osun state

Adeleke is outspoken and has many attack dogs .
If they feel different about the situation I believe we would have heard from them . But no protest came from them , that means they are ok with it

chiagozien:
And zo0 is making noise everywhere..


Even their air force missed road enter Burkina Faso 🤣🤣😂😂

Nnamdi Kanu apologist noticed


Incompetent lots

udemzyudex:
But they were force to land, so how were they able to do it?

So they should wait to be shot down .

Well, that will make them expendable because that will create a war between Nigeria (ECOWAS ) and those dictatorship countries

These dictattors are pushing their lucks . The only thing stopping ECOMOG intervention is the humanitarian crisis it will create, and no need saying it may spill over to neighbouring countries

Jagaban2012:
Allow Omisore to test the water, and let's see who the most preferred candidate is among the delegates... This AmBo is not a popular candidate, and he doesn't sound like a typical politician. He will be defeated by Adeleke before 12 noon...but Omisoore has been an old-time politician who won an election while he was locked up in prison....

Allow Omisore to run this battle with Adeleke. Me? I'm even tired of this Adeleke family brouhaha in Osun State.
They didn't represent what a typical Osun person stands for...marrying Ibos and becoming the Osun governor is a no-no for me.

The role Omisore played in Bola Ige's death will always hunt him .

He shouldn't pretend he didn't know why he , especially, was disqualified

The only that concern me there is Investigation Discovery

Whois:
I have to defend Jumia here. I order items on the site alot, sometimes they deliver what I order next day. It's faster for their dispatcher to deliver to their pick-up station closest to you than bringing your item to your gate.

You can cancel if you're not satisfied. There was a day I cancelled an order and I received refund same day.

I once ordered a product for someone travelling to UK . Jumia delayed the product for days , the person couldn't wait again I had to refund him when he travelled.
Only for jumia to send me a mail the next day to come pick it at their station.
The excuse I got at the station was that their staff were on holiday. So they didn't open for one week.

Since then I don't use Jumia again

nepapole:
All because SA took israel to court over genocide and also because they are a member of BRICS

Well, AIPAC don blow millions of dollars ontop u.s politicians, so nothing do them.

Is SA the only member of BRIC that took Israel to court?

Didn't you read his reasons ?

caylakays:
As I was scrolling through X, I saw a response where grok stated how much the government paid to the kidnappers as random. No wonder no arrest or casualty was recorded. This has proved that the government are chief enabler in the country. So bad

It's either you people are shortsighted or you're just being petty.

The Grok you posted didn't verify anything moreover,if the information is not put online how can Grok reveal it? You must think AI is God .

The Grok that can't give accurate information

Sholay!

That Sholay is action packed

ajepako:
My teenage crush Dhamendra!

I watched virtually all his films as a teenager and my favorites remain Ghazab and Sholay till date..

Manly in every way: voice, build and in action!

Man was a real Legend I would miss..

Rest in peace Dhamedra!

True that ! What's the name of the movie him and Amtaap featured in ?

Wow ! This man and Amtaap build our childhood.
I remembered Indian movies like Maard, Ama Akudall , Anothy and Nagin

Hardeybohwarley:
Even though her action is commendable, we need to let go of such mentality as it doesn't work in saner climes and better organisation in Nigeria.

I find it hard to see why an employer will be expecting me to show appreciation for receiving a salary I toiled for.

Was the employer thanking me while I was doing the job.

Hmm hmm. Let her do it o! Most employers in Nigeria see themselves as gods. You can see her boss positively acknowledged it.

I usually write "received with thanks"

Neoteny:
See all those malls and mansions cropping up all over the place, owned by top military brass?

That's where most of the money goes.

The rest purchases houses and shares in the US.

I think the FG is in on it. They're just to scared to talk. In most area in Lagos you'll find a military officer erecting a mansion. There's one in my area too. No responsible FG should be comfortable spending such amount yearly and not getting results and still keep spending

Any serious and responsible FG should have audited this Defence budget from the time the insurgency began.
This is one one reasons the war on BH can never end . I'm sure this budget may Also be funding insurgency secretly because as long as the war on BH persist, huge budget will keep coming.
This is not about changing Service Chiefs. Any incoming Service Chief is already part of the system and knows how to keep lubricating it.
I'm sure there's a conspiracy theory waiting to be uncovered if the Auditor General and EFCC are courageous enough to investigate the spending of this budgeting because I cant rap my head round how a responsible FG will be comfortable with spending this huge amount yearly without results- except they're complicit too

It's apparently clear that Nigerian politicians have taken over these things by exploiting the situation. Before Trump made his comment news of kidnapping were not as sporadic as this
