It is sad that you and your friends had to suffer that ordeal. I can relate with fact that back home you fight to get the VISA and outside you fight to PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE.
Well, in my opinion this could quickly change outsiders view of us. If ACCOUNTABILITY, JUSTICE AND RULE OF LAWS ARE MAINTAINED BY ALL... regardless of your status.
More publicity should be put out there that shows evil is instantly punished and justice is served swiftly regardless of your status. Those bad eggs committing crimes outside our shores...The government should also enact laws to punish them as well on the deportation back home or arrival home.
Zero tolerance for crime, corruption, injustice... should be motto Nigeria diplomacy abroad. Things will start changing and Nigerian gaining the RIGHT RECOGNITION AND RESPECT SHE DESERVES.
Dis one case with EFCC done close. Abi wetin dey go on with that case... Nigeria is a scam( Audio persecution of the rich and affluence. While most common citizens riot in injustice)
I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.
So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.
What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?
Glimpsetv: Former Nigerian senator and popular politician, Dino Melaye, has sparked massive reactions online after showing off the interior of his multi-million naira mansion in a recently surfaced video. The luxurious home tour quickly went viral, drawing attention from fans, critics, and political observers alike.
In the video, Melaye—dressed casually—can be seen strolling through his lavishly furnished mansion, gently touching decor and accessories as he moves around, offering viewers a glimpse into his opulent lifestyle.
Dino Melaye, a well-known figure in Nigerian politics, represented Kogi West Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly. He is a long-standing member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and has also served in the House of Representatives. In 2015, he defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) but returned to PDP before the 2019 elections after a prolonged political rift with Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.
During his time in the Senate, Melaye served as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, and briefly led the Senate Committee on Aviation. In the lead-up to the 2023 general elections, he was appointed the spokesperson for PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
