Everything isn't about politics....nduka has been a controversial businessman linger than I can remember......he has equally always been personal friends with tinubu even on first name basis ...this is purely a business matter and should be treated as such.

Exactly.

Manny21:
Most wealthy people live above their means borrowing here and there to show off. Compete and prove to friends, family and rivals that they could actually afford certain luxuries of life even though they lack the means to procure it

Oga that is how they get rich in the first place, borrowing to fund what is above their means. Eg, you are worth 50m, you borrow 1b to acquire a property worth 980m while dropping 20m as your equity. You pay back the loan through income from the 1b naira property.
Abi how do you think people become billionaires?

Zionmdde:
Na wa ooo
I hope they are all rescued. So many bad news this year already and we are just 14 days into it

I heard the expatriate have been retrieved
It's sad indeed. The spot where this happened is a very busy spot. I don't know how kidnappers are bold enough to operate there. Soldiers having their base less than 2km from that spot makes one wonder how?

Oga, even 1km is far not to talk of 2.

For watin naa, make the guy enjoy, abi shey na because him get kwanta with baba patapata them expose am make you know say na currupt persin?
Those who maintained him all this while empowering him and giving him the leeway to be this rich are the people you should hold responsinlble. Even when there was uproar about his academic qualification, his law school, contracts, monthly personal running expenses, did apc not protect him? Did they not say he was babas boy, clean as a saint.
Abeg if he was clean then and he had all your support, he is clean now.

I am not a Lagosian and I am not in Lagos, but one thing is a "banker" according to Punters, Sheyi can't be Lagos governor, if Tinubu tries that, he has seen Lagosians "finish" and it will stagger his legacy, structure and political dominance in the state.

Let these words be marked.

Oga seyi will be gobina if oga at the top so wishes take it or leave it. By the time ogberos are unleashed on you, you will vote as oga desires.

Did not bother reading. Why is he telling us bullshit tales, if he cannot fix it he should resign. His name does not sound like a serious person sef. Adelabuu

Angelfrost:
SMH... If they had handed her over to law enforcement and pressed charges, they won't be in this mess now.

I don't know why some of you Negroes easily resort to violence over every and anything.

That's why I keep saying that most Nigerians need to be admitted into Anger Management classes.


Any small thing, violence straight!

Most Nigerians ought to be on daily medication for mental issues. You see folks walking on the middle of the street you honk for them and they insult you. The other day a coaster bus side mirror nearly touched a young man, the guy went ballistic, used his fist to punch and break the mirror, when the driver came down he attacked the driver then went to the other mirrow and broke it too! Sometimes I think it is not just stress in naija but the sun fries people's brains.

Powerhouse5050:
Silent Storm Brewing

Which storm? They cut him to size sharp sharp. Next stage is to unleash law enforcement agencies on him to deplete all the owo he has gathered over the years, that has given him the morale to dare have ambitions above his paygrade.

Forget it, Yoruba folks know how to throw parties jare.

Thank God for my papa, a great man.
Him try well well. Left 2years ago. RiP

You can adopt as well.

It's a wise advice. Not all women will get a man to marry them despite beauty, intelligence, success etc. It better to have kids as the lady said, I think it is where they have issues biologically they can take the adoption option.
There are too many instances of women reaching 50 where it is then too late, some wise enough pay alot to have their eggs stored for use later, despite that they are unlucky to die before using them, it happened recently to my beloved sister. Most of them faced their careers and before you know 40,50 done reach. An ex school mate of mine, a doctor with kids in their 20s told me of how out of all her classmates in uni, only 3 of them had kids, the rest are all successful doctors in the US, UK, Ireland etc, they look at her with regrets why they did not focus on family in their earlier years, they did not even think of storing their eggs which they could have used now.
Omo, if as a woman one reaches 30+ start thinking of having kids by any means.

Evans was not a herdsmen. The people on ground saw fulani herdsmen.

Are you minding that idiot? 2025 and he still is acting the fool.

Dshocker:
So who will protect you?

Those that will replace them.

Dshocker:
When the government doesn't pay them well, what on earth were you thinking?

They should resign and go find work that pays them well.

Guccho:
This man should better calm down and stop being unnecessarily petty. He shouldn't abuse power.
Death is a natural phenomenon, the Queen and her co-organizers wouldn't have known that such tragedy was going to occur, if they knew, they wouldn't still go ahead with the event. Let God be the judge here.
The govt has killed a lot of Nigerians through same means, yet nobody ever sued them.
In 2014, the ex-minister of interiors, Comrade Abba Moro organized an aptitude test for applicants to be recruited into the Nigerian immigration service, while at the venue of the test, there was a huge Stampede, applicants lost their lives at the national stadium, and Heaven Did not fall. Abba Moro was never jailed or charged to court. It was even much worse cos the jobless applicants paid 1k each for application forms.
TB JOSHUA of blessed memory also suffered same fate right there in his church, SCOAN. This was a prophet that could tell u the color of the pant you're wearing, he could even see things in other people's countries but same man couldn't forsee the tragedy that befell people right under his nose. It's normal.
My heart goes out to the families of the victims who lost their lives, I pray for the souls of all the faithfuls departed through the mercies of God to rest on. 🙏

You said it all.
I think it is possible there is some scores being settled.

Let create Job opportunities

How do we do that?

We want to hear what he disclosed in the closed door session he requested.

Spare the rod and spoil the child.

When kids are young that is when you can teach them anything. Once a child is twelve, its too late.

But they said his father sent him to naija, probably to sort him out him out due to his wrong ways in the US. My point is that with kids over there can you use the rod without the kid making a call to 911 or even informing his teacher at school that y is facing abuse at home, then the parent is arrested. Truth of the matter is that those societies are messed up with all their stupid rules. If one is unfortunate that hs kids mixes with the wrong group at an early age. It is a problem controlling the child.
I met a kid at a secondary school inside a restricted university, his parents sent to naija, understand he was turning to a bad boy, na so them package am to naija. Even holidays when my ward will come home, that boy will remain in school. Note that this was a boy born and breed in the UK talking like oyinbo. Guess what that boy is now in final year of the University proper, a clean cut kid, well streightened out.
As you rightly said 21 age might be too late, maybe his parents should have acted earlier when they saw the signs.

Abegi they should free the boys, they were just chasing clout on social media. How did they abuse the naira? If anyone should be invited should it not be those that in 9 years have abused the naira by destroying its value? Where 1k cannot buy a pack of cigarettes.

Lol, if medicine is too expensive take agbo, if school too cost, drop out, learn mechanic or phone repair all na engineer, if no food, eat grass..
Reno.

Nigerians really have a problem.
Imagine making this fellow president and people voted for him even for a second term.

BrotherJapa:
My son at 17 bought his first car, a BMW, while still in grade 12 because there are lots of jobs for young people and he works part-time during the week and occasionally, on weekends. A grade 11 boy came to my office one time to withdraw $5000 for his father, he works part-time as a chef, He was Vietnamese. Here we have organizations like DQ that only hire teenagers so it is easy for them to have money and meet their needs.

If you have only lived in Nigeria, then I might as well be speaking in tongues.

Your government is a failure and an embarrassment in that they have nothing for the youth. You are probably brain dead and a product of the dysfunctional Nigerian lame educational system to understand why our young kids are turning into crime. Most of you don't know what it means to live in a normal society reason I am coming back to educate Y'all and hope for a change.

When there is a problem, you analyze the root cause and come up with a solution but, most of you lazy cowards prefer to hide in churches and mosques hoping an imaginary God will take away your problems.

You said it all.

Get a new car

Imagine investing 1m+ to buy engine plus other cost to install it, how much is the value of the VW? Person go spend pass the value of the car to repair am? If that is not juju, watin e bi? Lol

faceland:
Hotel foreign booking no concern you too so EFCC should let them go (based on you logic).

Hotel booking na crime? Me I de book hotel or Airbnb online when I de travel or for relatives.
Atleast make you explain or articulate the crime weh you see for hotel booking.

... And uninformed person like you should know that if you download the biggest mobile browser app in Nigeria, they plaster it with bets designed to capture those with that weakness (including your loved ones and children). Experts who knows what they are doing.

When you take loan of 5k, they offer 10k, then 29k then 59k, then they reset it to 5k (fully knowing you were expecting a higher offer). We are talking of illegal manipulation of people minds. Me I don't bet but loan shake as screwed me up once.

As uninformed as I am and thankfully too, neither me or my kids or loved ones indulge in such, not because it is bad, but it is simply not our thing. Yes one may buy a lottery ticket once in a while and that is it. My driver a grown man play sports bet and funny enough we had a discussion yesterday, he said last year he chopped a total of 150k, I asked how much he spent, he said likely over 100k meaning he made gain. It is an adults decision to play bets, I have lots of friends that do it for fun, responsible men. It is their leasure thing just as I prefer to watch YouTube videos, Netflix etc. So because coca cola contains sugar, they should regulate it because of people that are diabetic?

faceland:
What of the regulated Chinese Loan Shake Apps and betting platforms?

The loan shark app does not concern me and lots of other nigerians as i no carry hand download their app with my data, read their terms, agree to their interest, then collect their money.
Only onigbeses, long throats that will collect money and refuse to pay are concerned for them to be regulated. Same thing applies to betting platforms. Abi them come force you go their platform go bet? No be you take your hand go there wan chop money and in the process them chop you? Lol

Iweakbro:
Mumu. Coming from a hearsay person who hasn't driven anything in his life before.

It's true talk, unless you are rich and can afford such cars brand new. If not in the naija context stick to the Toyotas, honda. Cheap to maintain along with abundance of readily available parts. Mechanics also available.
Not saying those others are not good ohh, but as I said, the Nigerian situation.

DJInfluence:
We’re already aware of all this. So, what’s your point?
Just like electric cars, ICE cars have their own shortcomings too.

I taya Bros, Nigerians must find reason to talk just for talking sake. Some times to keep mouth close and pretend to be wise can be a virtue..

Annoyimg thing is that those policemen are there to beg, nothing else. I passed there 2 months ago and all they did was beggi beggi, grown men for that matter. Nothing vexes me more than when police will stop you at checkpoint tell you clear well only to give a dirty smile asking about your day, then tell you oga we de here ohh, anything for your boys.
