Pikin wey say im mama no go sleep !!

Im too no go sleep.

How can Isreal fight in

1-southern Gaza.
2-northern Gaza.
3-bomb embassy in Damascus. (Which i am surprised, the whole world is not calling a terrorist attack, had it been the muslims that did it, they would have shouted terrorist attack. Embassies and diplomatic councils are off limits to attacks.)
4-bomb Hezbollah in Lebanon
5-bomb Houthi's in Yemen
6-bomb Hamas in Palestine
7-now Iran has extended the fight to strait of hormuz, where they control the world oil chokepoint.

Benjamin Netenyahu does not have the right strategy to fight this war, he is just trying to instigate the enemy to get the USA involved with boots on the ground. Because Israel has an army of 750 thousand. Only Iran without the proxies have an army of 1 million soldiers. And if arms and ammunitions could win a war, Ukraine would have defeated Russia with all its arsenal from the USA.

From Cubana brothers to Ned Nwoko’s wife, how EFCC ignored Nigerian elite’s misuse of naira to unleash nightmare on Bobrisky, other everyday citizens

Videos on social media showed Obi Cubana standing in his living room and getting drenched in naira notes days before the burial.

Male Crossdresser Idris ‘Bobrisky’ Okuneye sparked nationwide heated debates when he won the award for Best Dressed Female at a movie premiere on March 24 but because there was no Nigerian law that explicitly banned crossdressing, he was allowed to walk free.

But the award might have left a bitter taste in the mouth of the authorities of a conservative nation who later singled out the crossdresser for spraying naira notes at the premiere’s afterparty and charged him with naira abuse.

In a hurried prosecution that only lasted a week, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission succeeded in convicting and sentencing crossdresser Bobrisky to six months imprisonment without the option of fine for abusing the naira.

The sentence left Nigerians aghast as it validated claims that the anti-graft commission was selective in its administration of justice and targeted citizens who did not have the financial wherewithal to defend themselves against government-backed repression.

The EFCC filed a four-count charge of naira abuse against Bobrisky and tendered video evidence of the crossdresser “spraying” the naira, a common practice among Nigerians who lavish currency notes at parties as a sign of affection for the celebrant.

Section 21(3) of the CBN Act 2007 states that “spraying of, dancing or matching(sic) on the Naira or any note issued by the Bank during social occasions or otherwise howsoever shall constitute an abuse and defacing of the Naira or such note and shall be punishable under the law by fines or imprisonment or both.”

But it appears that this law only applies to a section of citizens, particularly those financially incapable of putting up a good fight against the government and cannot afford the services of competent lawyers to plead their defence.

With video evidence, Peoples Gazette has compiled a list of Nigerian elites found committing the same crime for which Bobrisky is now languishing in prison.

Minister of Arts and Culture, Hannatu Musanawa
Video footage captured President Bola Tinubu’s Minister of Arts and Culture, Hannatu Musanawa, spraying naira notes on a northern musician who performed at the ministerial inauguration party last August.

Ms Musanawa, draped in gold lace, was seen raining new N1000 notes on the artiste. Majority of her friends on the dance floor also celebrated the minister by showering her with wads of cash.

Against the CBN law, the naira notes fell on the dance floor and were marched.

SSS DG’s son Abba Bichi and Senator Ned Nwoko’s wife, Regina Daniels

While Nigerians grappled with a N20,000-limit on withdrawals due to naira scarcity in the last quarter of 2023, Abba Bichi, son of the directors general of the nation’s secret police, SSS, was seen raining wads of naira notes on Regina Daniels, fifth wife of Senator Ned Nwoko at a nightclub.

Senator Nwoko’s wife, Regina Daniels and mother, Rita Daniels
In another instance, Ms Daniels sprayed and stepped on the naira notes while celebrating her mother’s 47th birthday in 2023.

Ms Daniels donned a white silk long-sleeved blouse, blue jeans and a green Chanel purse as she sprayed the naira notes on her mother.

The Senator’s wife inadvertently marched the naira notes which covered the interlocking tiles of her mother’s compound.

The quantity of the notes was so large, a family member was seen using two hands to gather the money on the floor into a black briefcase.

Wizkid and KWAM 1
Grammy award-winning artiste, Ayo Balogun, who goes by Wizkid, lost his mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun, last year.

Mrs Balogun’s funeral had the who’s who of the Nigerian entertainment industry in attendance as celebrities gathered to commiserate with Wizkid and celebrate the life of his deceased mum.

They all made money rain.

Wizkid himself showered wads of N1000 naira notes on fuji maestro Wasiu Ayinde Marshal as did Tiwa Savage, another Nigerian pop artiste, who lavished naira notes on the fuji musician.

In another instance at the burial, the Grammy winner and his sisters were seen spraying the notes on each other.

Obi Cubana
Business mogul, Obi ‘Cubana’ Iyiegbu, organised a talk-of-the-town funeral for his deceased mother in July 2021 and money rained like a cascade of water.

The week-long funeral had at least 400 cows, 20 rams slaughtered for beef and served to guests in Oba, Anambra state where Mrs Iyiegbo was buried.

Money-spraying was so much that it became a competition among Obi Cubana’s friends to see who could spend the most money.

Videos on social media showed Obi Cubana standing in his living room and getting drenched in naira notes days before the burial.

Cubana Chief Priest
Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, popularly called Cubana Chief Priest, is known for his lavish display of wealth on social media.

For every party he attends, Cubana Chief Priest must spray money and toss it in the air. It’s become his signature.

At the funeral of the late Mrs Iyiegbu, Cubana Chiefpriest held a stash of currency notes which he sprayed on his former boss, Obi Cubana.

The spraying got so intense that he switched from notes to bundles, placing them on Obi Cubana’s shoulders as he danced to an Igbo live band performance.

Still, EFCC operatives did not unleash nightmare on the celebrity barman as they did on Bobrisky.

Ms Pelumi Nubi
Pelumi Nubi, UK-Nigerian travel content creator who successfully drove from London to Lagos on a road trip that lasted 68 days, was welcomed amid pomp and circumstance by the Lagos state government including Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Commissioner for Arts and Tourism was appointed the tourism ambassador for Lagos state despite glaring evidence that she abused the naira at a party, showering currency notes on musician and hype man, Segun Johnson.

While Ms Nubi was given a heroic welcome with no mention of naira abuse charge, Bobrisky was sentenced to six months imprisonment without the option of a fine by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on Friday.

I don't know what my post had to do with poverty 😂.
Last time I checked, I am very rich by Nigerian standards. You guys just like to insult people that you do not know for reasons best known to you.

The only crime of Emefiele is because he is Igbo....

Let’s agree with Sowore that Obi inaugurated pepper grinding machine.

One can ask Sowore if with all his years of activism and wealth from living in America, if he has provided any social service to people of his community.

Sowore must tell us if there is electricity to power electric pumping machines in the communities provided the boreholes.

Sowore should tell us if solar powered boreholes can be longer lasting than the pepper grinding machines. In case of faults, who will fix the solar powered ones, and at what cost?

Sowore must tell us why having campaigned during the last elections in the north, he could not remember to provide such amenities for the suffering people, who have been without portable water for uncountable years.

Why has Sowore not asked the leaders of such communities what they have been doing all these years with the allocations received?

No common sense with Sowore.

Are the beneficiaries not enjoying their water so far? Have they complained?

Jealousy and envy will not let some like Sowore have some peace of mind. It is very clear that Obi knows the needs of the citizens and he tackles them. They are worried that everyday Obi’s popularity rating rises. They said “no structure”. Obi matched Tinubu and BAT vote for vote at the last election, to their greatest surprise.

For those youths who support those who daily reap them off and put them in misery, you may continue in your hardship.

She was attacked and knifed several times...


In an ambulance headed to the hospital. Yet she has time to post videos...

If she faked the attack... She should be arrested and procecuted.

Like the Ghanian musician who faked being shot.

This is getting too much!

He was said to have disappeared from the pool at about 6:37 pm on Tuesday but was rescued around 9:58 pm

Offpoint1:
It's custom to be buried by the riverside if you drown were I'm from.
No sacrifice can't be made, you can conduct burial anywhere else but body has to be buried by the riverside.


What kinda sacrifice are they demanding 150k?

AllenSpencer:
Fubara should enjoy his term cos it will be the first and last.

Our whole powers will descend in coming election. We will condemn and bastardize his image across the state-in person & online. Hook him up with propagandas he won’t be able to get out of.

He messed up with the wrong dude, and he is not a match.

This guy is a fool though, not everything is clout. Even the westerners post picture of their dead it’s nothing new. Jerry didn’t record that video.
