When police is becoming useless, why wouldnt we want Amotekun?

This is an offshoot of opc vigilante, right?

pocohantas:
It mustn't end, not like he is the actual founder.

The founder of Olaiya in Surulere has been long gone, alongside her husband- but the daughters are doing a very good job running the business. Remodeled the HQ and set up two other branches.

If managed by a serious minded offspring, it will still be there in years to come.

God punish the killers very well. I never wanted to leave Nigeria, but I am beginning to consider it like this.

It's sad. The Paranoid part of me just got scared or worked up somehow for nothing as you mentioned these girls names, because I have daughters and plan on opening a ReStaurant. Hope nothing bad would happen to them. May the Soul of lateOlaiya and her DeaRhusband ReSt in PeRfeCtPeace. Oh Death! SOPAIN!!!!!!!!FUL

markdonpuzo:
You are wrong. The business is more like a family business.

He is not the original founder. It was founded by a woman, who died long ago and he then took over at a point, so quite naturally another of the family member will shoulder the responsibility. As a matter of fact all their staff which total about 20 are family members or related to the family.

The business will only take a break for few weeks and activities continue as before.

RIP to the deceased.

so the workers are that many? No wonder somebody was asking how and why he was staying in Shomolu. Saying shouldn't he have had money?

anonimi:
So he should not have reported so that robberies can continue?
Have you heard that a coward dies many times before his actual death

You never see anything. When the thing happen to you earlier go be like shock

Sholah96:
I always wonder how that much people are going to share the loot

I dey tell you. To think that one would shedo human blood because of money. 30keachtops at that

seniormallam:
With level of poverty and joblessness in Nigeria now, no children will do anyhow again, this is a sure meal ticket for them instead they will even take it to the next level............poverty has reset everyone's brain in Nigeria, no one jokes with opportunities again...........MKO Abiola's children are still the undisputed champion of useless children, they lock their Dad's businesses and was fighting from one court to another..........why not allowed the various managers to continue running the businesses and let them be paying workers salaries, but no family members should take any fund from those businesses until they've finished their useless fight in court, instead they locked all the business and still fighting in court till today.

My own be say, for this life, I no want see courtroom

SavageResponse:
Why tribe into this?

Must you make a public exhibit of your stupidityy?

No minam. I'm sure he made this account after traveling and pregnancy ban.

SenecaTheYonger:
Oh shiii. If the most patriotic person I know wants to leave Nigeria, then what the hell am I even thinking by staying back?

so you know her? I've been following or seeing her posts. For her to back down, I know it's very SeRiOus

frosbel2:
Lazy youth on the rampage.

Idiots stealing money that will not even last for a week
and committing murder in the process.

They usually use fear of being reported or found out as an excuse to go on murdering spree. How many people that discovered them will they go and kill now? Will they kill all the neighbors? All this killing in order to shut up process is so idiotic. How many will they kill? Won't they get tired of killing? Humanity Shaa

Dagrace01:
His mother originally owns the place! He took over the mantle after the death of his mother, so I don't believe the business will crumble, another person will take over from the family.

aah. What SaDness. After mama Death. Now this?

obo389:
She it has gotton to this that people cant report crime incident else, they will come back for you and take your life.
God help us.

I'm not a thief, but I'm fully aware that police dey always complicate matter from time immemorial. Making people go nunut out of fear

Bola146:
that is why Nigeria is not having peace of mind

whats the use reporting to police that are ineffective and now dying for it again? Anything police spells doom. If they don't kill you, the antics and culprits surrounding them will. Something wrong must go on. Ask mama Sharon in 2018 Chester that year.

salford1:
Hahaha
Silicon Valley alone has around 70 billionaires.
As at 2019, there were 607 billionaires in the US.

Do I have to be 50 something to become RiCh and die in a few years time? Why don't Good things last in this life. ?Not having a negative mindset though.
What of that igbo man COmPUteRwizard C.i.a discovered that wrote down 70 of his family members name for U.s. to give Citizenship. This was during Bill Clinton's regime abi? How come hilary clinton stepped down for nancy pelosi. She must have been really stressed right from the time of the election.
Now u.s. would be too scared to engage in that kind of venture of freely dashing out Citizenship . Make Peace Remain for JeRUsalem

Dukeolumidemans:
Choi!!! Wetin con remain nau if those 2 cast too? Omo na to relocate go Abatete be dat or Mozambique...

so why has God not favored me? As intelligent and sound as I am. Does this amount to net worth or money in the Bank?

Seriously.

- Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen
- Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn
- Former Trump campaign official Rick Gates
- Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort
- Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos
- Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone
- Alex van der Zwaan, a lawyer who worked with Manafort and Gates. has already served his prison sentence.
- Richard Pinedo, a California computer whiz

This is serious. UPOn all the connections. One has even finished. JehOvah! What OflOCal man like me now?

PaulSimon2020:
I-539 extension is no longer as easy as you paint it to be here, things are changing drastically. And the stay period is now based on what you came for, the traditional 6months stamp on B1/B2 is being changed. I have a friend that was just given two weeks to attend a conference and head back to Nigeria. Trump administration is not playing around, they are hell bent on clamping down on both legal and illegal immigration!

Hello bent. I thought it was just for illegal immigration. That was what a Trump supporter told me to save face, even his wife explained it as such. I didnt know legals were included.

DexterousOne:
If they move out of the country

They should also sell their products out of the USA too

Or bring it and pay high fees.


The govt have been sucking up to yhrde grerfu corporations for decades that they have become spoilt and entitled

Give them incentives
But they have to pay their fair share of tax
Even tho it should not be excessive

You can also give them tax breaks on condition they expand investment and create even more jobs or do CSR (which btw the corporations are not doing)


We cannot continue to give them.breaks upon breaks, and breaking the middle class backs to cover up for the shortfall


This cromy capitalism greed must be destroyed kpata kpata kpata

Especially that back. My back is painING me everyday

sassysure:
That is what I'm saying na.
Mama Eliza has killed us

The remaining, council tax will collect.


About the capital flight i spoke from the economics point of view.
See what capital flight plunged Nigeria into?
If not for folks in diaspora, Zimbabwe would have been better.

Some USA companies relocated cos of tax. Some were on the verge of relocating b4 that drastic law was made.
At the end of the day even with the increase in middle class tax, they still pay collectively higher than what the middle class summed together pays.
So it's a necessary evil but will not tarry long.
USA went on recession and haven't recovered yet, somebody gat to bear the blunt somewhere.

That's what they want to replicate in Nigeria but Nigeria don't have any working system.

So the middleman in our case bears it all

We go survive las las

jesus. Do you know the whole time yout were talking about mama Eliza I didn't even getit say na iyapati

Beautyaddy:
Those tax breaks was given to help those companies avoid moving their Companies to Countries that have very low taxes. Most of those Companies laid-off workers when they needed to move out of the US. And as a result the availability for jobs was not as surplus it is now with the current tax break.

so middle class are basically paying for their jobs through tax rebates. Omatseo

slyfoxxjoe:
Oga all this story will not change the basic point I am making that the more Nigerians that keep running abroad and lamenting from afar instead of coming back and playing their own little part in improving the country, the more things are going to remain the same for us.

I am well travelled too and have two degrees from the U.K. were I lived for 7 years before returning willingly to Nigeria because no corrupt political establishment is going to turn me into refugee in another mans country. We will make it work here or we die here. It’s our country to defend.

Sowore you speak of left His comfortable life in the U.S to try and spark a revolution in Nigeria which led to his arrest and harassment by the government..what he did went a long way in reorienting and enlightening our youth. so did Kalu and many other activists. More and more foreign trained entrepreneurs I know are coming back to Nigeria to play their part in at least moving the private sector forward since government cannot help. These are the little gestures I am talking about that if we all play our little part then with time, things will improve. Instead of running to foreign countries then lamenting when those countries no longer want you.

We can’t keep waiting for some politician to save us. We have to make it happen ourselves.

You are correct. At least, improving the PRivate sector

cococandy:
Yet some other first world countries have been managing to do this without killing off its middle class. We can do better honestly.

Their intentions are shady anyways and it’s not primarily about fear of capital flight.

wait. How many billionaires are there in the u.s. are they even up to 10?

cococandy:
Job that can still be provided without the huge tax breaks.
The middle class has always funded the lower and higher class. That’s a good reason to not make it worse than it already is. Very soon there will be no middle class left

You are riGht dear, how middle class finance the rich doesn't just make sense.

salford1:
It's not even only Nigerians that embark on birth tourism. The percentage of naija women travelling out for such is very little or insignificant in the scheme of things. Chinese are the number 1 culprit.
I don't blame any mother that desires to give their babies 2nd option i.e. a back up nationality.

You are correct. They didn't say nigerian pregant women. ThankGod.
But how are trump's associates in jail. You haven't explained

salford1:
This is a classic conservative style politics. Conservatives somehow believe that trickle down economics create more jobs, however the billionaires just keep the money to themselves. If it's a business, the top executives just payout huge bonus to themselves and reward their shareholders with surplus dividends.

This is what I was saying

Raalsalghul:
This is the pure, undiluted, brutal truth.

it's natural to be envious but it would be pure evil and jealousy for the poor to feel that way despite the way they feel the rich have maligned them.
I didnt even know about the carribean own. I think it's proximity to the United States that's giving them an edge. Together with Mexico and BRazil.

salford1:
The Chinese control the birth tourism market in Canada, and they charge around $30k per expectant mother.
Since this restriction in the state will create a boom elsewhere, maybe it's time for others like me to cash in on it

I have to start searching for 5 to 6 bedroom houses that can accomodate like 12 expectant naija mother at once, and charge a fraction of the cost those Chinese are charging

Please shed more light on this. I am interested

sassysure:
Una no dey pay tax?
Kekeke
Come mama Eliza place and see that u work for nothing.
More than half of your pay goes into the system. Infact, u work to maintain the welfare system practiced here.
So many eu people cashing out monthly just like that without doing anything that at the end of the day, they are better than u that's working

Although I heard that if brexit occur, tax reduces.

I will migrate to north korea

Not everyone loves government free money. And I'm not even a miss goody two shoes type of person. It just sinks you down and keeps you in a certain type of neighborhood. You can never convert it to cash. Only use it for food. Does that not smell like poverty to you and sinking one down in earth? Apart from there is dignity in labor, me i no want! I just dislike the potentialities surrounding that kind of thing. Free housing in certain neighborhoods is even worse. It will just sink you below below. Especially if you have kids there and they don't end up being educated.

cococandy:
I don’t support his republican capitalism. It’s only for the wealthy. I’m not wealthy. If your family makes over 6 figures but are not millionaires, you will most likely be the hardest hit by his system.
I couldn’t believe my eyes last year when I got my refund .
Paid enormous taxes last year and got almost nothing back. Thanks to his useless (to regular folks) tax reform.

His system only favors the billionaires and millionaires club. I’m sure the poor people who supported him got the surprise of their lives during last tax season but they are too headstrong to admit when they are wrong.

tell me something, all those tax rebates to the mud. I strongly knew it was a wealth thing and directly helping the rich who now have the "option" of assisting the poor. Most Republicans are actually blue-collar, it's now like they have to depend on the rich to create jobs.

Chaleeee:
This Crab Mentality is why Nigeria will never develop in your life time.

The Nigerian definition of that is to look poor and miserable like the rest around you.

You cannot enjoy what you worked hard to have in peaceagain

Not only that. As a lady, The Covering up aspect too

magicminister:
The comments I read on this thread reenforces the reason why I hate poor people. You see, everyone that celebrated this new rule only did so NOT BECAUSE IT AFFECTS ME THEM, but because IT AFFECTS SOMEONE ELSE THAT THEY THEH PERCEIVE TO BE DOING BETTER THAN THEM!

They have given up on themselves so much that they do not see any hope that they’ll someday be in a position where they can afford great medical care and better life within and outside Nigeria.

Poverty kill you there!!

They do it here too. When one can't get into an ivy league school, they pick on the flaws. I just keep away from such gatherings as a StuDent.
