So front page is only for the news that will make you happy right? It must be only the news that will advance the Obiidiots interest abi? Anything against your lieing Lord is ridiculous to you zombies

No wonder they call una Zombiedients.

I know wisdom out paced you, just know that it's not illegal to use Ur brain.
front page is for trending and meaningful conversations-even if it were jokes, but outright ridicule/lies based on assumptions should not be found on a supposed meaningful site.

Atiku made blunders this period, if it's on the front page- makes sense
Obi's supporters are fighting each other- cool on front page.
Tinubu made some mistakes in his speech, front page material.
If Obi quoted ridiculous statistics as always this period, nice to be on front page.

but no sane and well managed web will put an outright assumptions Geared towards ridicule as front page, except if un-manned or un-moderated or designed to propagate bigotry.

asanausana91:
you are a liar,a hypocrite and a zombiedient.

Not today Satan!

what a site! what a forum! to have such grace the front page.

I don't care abt the contestants but for such ridicule by the thread owner to grace the front page is utterly ridiculous.

mu2sa2:
Mr man dont dabble in matters in which you're an ignoramous. 30,000! Go and find out the number of employees of obajana alone, direct and indirect, and you'll bury your head in 30,000 wraps of smelly akpu.

... and the banks don't have direct and indirect employees? vendors, partners, subsidiaries?

Mr. Oga, just shut it and move on!

you're caught in a lie and you're defending with "go and find out" crap. you that you've found out, state the figure and I'll fact check you right away.

mu2sa2:
Dont mind the mumus praising yahya Bello for resorting to violence. Obajana cement factory staff strength is higher than the combined staff strength of all the banks in nigeria. Btw, thuggery for thuggery yahya Bello cannot win because Dangote can also hire armed guards and it is in federal govt's interest to support a gigantic business interest that's generating tens of thousands of jobs. By the time fg deploys special units around the area, let's see what yahya bello and his thugs can do. Maybe those kogi criminals have never heard of rpgs, helicopter gunships, armoured drones etc. Yahya bello will soon leave office and he will know that power is transient.

what sort of LIE is this?

The entire Dangote group staff strength-sugar, oil and gas, cement across all locations and al his other investments is about 30,000. Firstbank Nigeria alone has a staff strength of 16,000.

I don't have interest in Dangote and host issues, he has those everywhere, Benue, Edo, Kogi... but don't come spewing some ridiculous lies.

Spanki:


I am saddened. I can't understand what is the cause of this enemity between citizens. Am just so perplexed about the whole thing. What is the origin of this hatred? Maybe we have to suggest to the government to reorientate and sensitize the people on peaceful coexistence with each other. It is that bad. Quite pathetic.

The People that should promote peace and harmony seems to enjoy the anarchy. the owner of this forum for instance is unable to moderate such, the politicians they refer it to ride to power, it's a shame!

I think this forum breeds hatred and tribal conflicts, seems that's the goal of the owner!

27Pushing30:


When Lagos is flooded people shout Tinubu

So now that Anambra is flooded let us shout Obi

It’s simple tit-4-tAt

I think that's coz Tinubu still controls all the politicians in the state and he also determine who sits as the governor but not same with Obi.

9jaRealist:


Blah, blah, blah…so much pedestrian pedantry!

My original comment was primarily about “motorable” roads.
The post-script (PS) only noted one reason for the lack of “motorable” roads.

And yes, try as you might, I’ll not join you in hurling JUVENILE personal invective. Try to outgrow your circumstances dude.

#TakeEffingResponsibility!

For the records, the conversation was on excessive punishment for traffic offenders and that even those driving in that right lane often cause accident leading to deaths, asking for review of the penalties and handling on a per case basis. But you my friend went ad hominem , from tax, to upbringing with a focus on You! bloody Narcissist!

You're worse that those who spew juvenile invectives in that you're capable of deceiving your own self.

You keep screaming abt responsibilities incoherent gibberish, have you ever taken any responsibility all your life? ever done self appraisals, you're not self-aware? you believe your own lies and are unable to take your own advise on responsibilities.

You do need help, unfortunately if God don't, no one can as you're a terrible narcissist- the world doesn't revolve around you and neither are your opinions the only valid reality, so forcing them on the throat of others is puerile.

Like I said earlier, take it as a win and move on, eventhough I do know that no other comment or opinion ever count to u except yours! won't be replying u again so enjoy your day!

9jaRealist:


Still refuse to slide into the gutter of CHILDISH ad hominem personal attacks with you…
It merely betrays the paucity of your substantive argument and a crude personal upbringing. Do better dude. SMH

Meanwhile, what’s the relevance of “SOME” people paying more tax than my “annual gross” (as if anyone said no Nigerians at all pay taxes). Even if they pay 100 times my so-called “annual gross”, it “doesn’t negate the fact” that if they are not paying their full due taxes they are still substantively culpable for the lack of “motorable” roads. Of course, the reality is that the overwhelming majority of Nigerians outside of the civil service and those subject to withholding taxes actually do NOT pay their due income (and often other) taxes - the most basic of basic civic responsibilities. But so many Nigerians have a bizarre notion of citizenship - all rights and privileges, with no responsibilities.

#TakeResponsibility

Dude, it's a given across the world, people who can, avoid tax, the tax officials go after most.
you're still saying the same thing that I said, calm down, read to understand. Some people pay full tax, and for some the tax exceeds Ur annual gross.. not sure how and why that triggers you, also not sure why the truth sounds like an attack to you.

The conversation wasn't abt tax, you digressed to tax to make a point which didn't gel and claiming attacks doesn't win conversations, superior arguments does. So it ain't my fault you're heavily emotional. Read through your own comments, you started with subtle insults, only pointed out how some folks that pay tax, have theirs higher than Ur gross and voila, you're triggered and claiming you're insulted, it's ridiculously obnoxious.


You insult my upbringing and claim in same sentence you're not going the line of personal attacks, how unstable you must be!

Since you're so emotional and unable to reason aright let's leave the discussion, take it that you won! have a nice life.

FreeStuffsNG:

Don't worry ma, he will explain to the police , court and LASG how his 'random' picture got viral for impersonation yet he never denied it within 48 hours.

I agree that he is innocent for now until proven in court but he is the prime suspect for now along with those who posted it. There are digital trails to fish all of them out. Impersonation is a criminal offence so he should get very good lawyers.

your reasoning is pathetic

Blah, blah, blah…Self-help ko, selfish ni!
Meanwhile, Nigeria has the lowest tax to GDP to tax ratio in all of Africa. SMH
>

the mentality here is absurd.. Nigeria has lwoest Tax to GDP doesn't negate the fact that some ppl pay tax so much that their monthly tax exceeds your annual gross.

it's not falacy, your inability to understand that is a separate conversation

Morphinne:

Apologies accepted and if you desire to have a working society, then stop making excuses and justifications for insanity all because you hate the Nigerian government and most of their policies (no be only you hate govt). Taking away reckless drivers’ means of livelihood is welcome if that would help preserve innocent lives. I and other sane people will always cherish human lives ahead of material things (vehicles)
Have a good life.

Thanks and hope one day you can afford a car to understand the context of what is being said.

Morphinne:

I stopped taking you seriously when I got to @bolded
You and some other nincompoops said the practice of forfeiting and auctioning traffic offenders vehicles is not done in any ‘sane clime’ and I sent a picture of an article talking about police crushing cars as deterrence and you’re here saying what I quoted and posted was only talking about dangerous driving, so is driving against traffic not dangerous? My apologies for trying to engage you in an intellectual conversation. I thought you had a brain

I sincerely apologize for engaging you on this forum, I thought you were an adult. With choice words like 'nincompoops' and mixing up conversation we are having with those u had with others, it's pretty obvious the childish rants are symptoms of something deeper. hope you weren't abused as a kid.

Have fun, hopefully when you grow up, you'll be able to engage in conversations without resorting to insults and name calling to make a point.

Morphinne:

You may be right but the timing makes it look like you’re with the defaulters and this makes you look unintelligent. We all know that the Nigerian governments at all levels are not up to task but this is not the right time for that discussion. You’re only making excuses for wrongdoings. Don’t drive on a road you’re not familiar with and also don’t drive one-way if you don’t want your car forfeited. Nobody cares how it’s done in the UK or any other place, this is Nigeria, a sovereign state and as long as the law is effective in ensuring the safety of innocent lives, it is most welcome.
Jandor who went to take pictures with that defaulting animal is not that foolish anyway, he knew what he was doing. He did what he did to gain public acceptance (political gimmick) by acting like what the driver did was not proportionate to the offense. In some other countries, your car could get permanently forfeited and crushed or your license seized forever. The picture below happened in Australia, a supposedly ‘saner clime’
You Nigerians naturally hate abiding by simple laws.

I don't give a damn Abt Jandor or whatever and the article u quoted, did u notice it's Abt dangerous driving and repeat offenders?

if you'll take your time to read to understand rather than with emotions to respond, maybe you'll get the point.

once again, if you own a car and/or drive in Lagos, you might understand ehat folks are saying. It's fine to penalize defaulters, even till death penalty depending on a crime, but categorizing crime negates the judiciary. the law courts review each offense, listen to the merits and demerits and apportioned the right/legal penalty. saying all who follow one way should loose their cars without listening the the merit or otherwise of each is what is questioned here. there are several unmarked roads where the Lastma and co stay at the entrance to trap motorists, there are roads that have recently changed etc, there are notorious culprits who enjoy one way, there are repeat offenders and those who knowingly take the route. the laws the lagos state govt promulgated negates the 1999 constitution and that's the problem.

let me give u a perfect example, maybe you might get the point. driving home one evening, the road was in a complete standstill, two policemen directed us to take the BRT Lane, we hurriedly did not knowing that there were task force at the exit of the road, they caught all of us in there - 26 cars, the policemen came in trucks, they were so many. they took the 26 cars to agric around Ikorodu, deflated our tires that we took one BRT lanes, we were fined for taking brt lanes. I sure won't forget that cruelty. of course ppl complained till it got to the AG of the state and I'll also not forget what he said, even though it was sensible, it was pathetically useless . he said "if the Policemen advise you to put ur hand in fire, will u do it?" paid the fine took my car and never respect policemen ever since, I avoid them like plague.

9jaRealist:


Because they are no accidents or deaths on “motorable” roads?
In fact, in Nigeria, more “motorable” roads often lead to MORE accidents, as drivers speed like demons.

Nigerians are always looking for excuses…
An intelligent person should know to drive differently (even defensively) on non-“motorable” roads.

PS: Meanwhile, most Nigerians looking for “motorable” roads won’t pay their taxes to build such roads. SMH
>

obviously u don't own a car or understand how that works. throwing words around, intelligent, motorable, out of ignorance. let me reiterate, driving one way is a crime and should be punished, in this particular case, it is said the foad is terrible which is why the driver went for self help- he should be punished and heavily too, I only asked how Abt the government that has refused to fix roads.

Then you show up without understanding context as always, insulting and spewing gibberish. you can see how undeformed your mental ability is when u think others ain't intelligent except you and you're the only one paying tax.

some of the ppl you insult that they don't pay tax, their tax exceeds your salary.

omonla10:
I live around there.. Most cars use the one way because the other side of the road is not motorable.. Even jeeps will suffer on that road. Yet govt turned a blind eye ove a year now

who fines the government for not providing motorable roads?

Parachoko:
Foolish talk

One will have to wander if some of you people get brain at all

Well, am sure one of the reason you dey talk like this b say, no b your love ones the motor hit.

RIP to the dead

you're certainly excessively emotional on this. read what he wrote.. the driver should be charged for manslaughter and driving on one way, if the penalty is death- so be it.

he's only adding that so many ppl find their selves in unmarked one way in Lagos used as trap to make dem forfeit their cars.

OceanRed:
weird law my foot! no sensible person should drive in a one way road for goodness sake, thats why its called one way, we are talking of people getting killed for GOD sake! the dead also have families and loved ones that they are responsible for.

read what I wrote again, maybe you'll get the point.
I don't have issues with cars getting forfeited or even the drivers sent to jail. I'm saying that is alright when there are other events associated.


sometimes the issue is that the roads are not properly marked and someone gets in, ask and reverse, since the law is a bitch, such person is told to forfeit the car And that's alien to the laws.

it always important to understand statements before jumping, read to understand and not to respond

Parachoko:
There are people who are in charge of making laws and enforcing it.

If they feel auctioning people's car for driving against traffic is the solution to this madness, so be it.

Unfortunately, yes. Nevertheless, we can still share our views even if it has no impact on them

seanwilliam:

Good.
And when one way Driver jam one of your family , they should fine him just 30k minimum wages..
rubbish , anyone caught using one way should be made to pay through his/her nose, infact impound the vehicle join.



I knew of newly married couples ,who lost their lives to one way driver back then . You’re here blabbing like a morôn.

unfortunately, it's not my fault that you're unable to comprehend and it's not my fault that as fast as u run towards wisdom, it's still faster.


since you're slow to understanding, I'll reiterate what I said, driving on one way is a crime, most instances it's fine to send the driver to jail and have him forfeit the car, but there are couple of instances especially in Lagos environs, that there are no markings and road users are caught in traps set up by Lastma and co. there is therefore need to review each event and have it judged based on the case

People get killed coz the driver is driving in the right lane too, should the car get auctioned too?

Driving in one way is bad but each case should be judged by law courts, there are instances where the driver will require mental evaluation, car siezed, driver jailed etc.


but don't come out with weird ass laws, events are different and each must be looked at differently.
should u be caught on one way and no other significant event associated, a fine not exceeding minimum wage should suffice. fining ppl above minimum wage is barbaric and cruel

PrinceMajestic:
Yes! This is what I want to see. I wish they hang the pelosi bitch and roast off her hairy wrinkled old vagina let's know how it smells stupidity of the Terrorist state of America

there's no way this statement comes from an adult

emmy9500:


USA police won’t also point gun at you for traffic infraction, let’s have balance view of things

you should asked him if he had a visa. nigga watch movies and simp

789kol:

no body said there are no DBs

they are simply not reliable in issues like this as they are not as advanced and paired with sufficient amount of computers to begin issuing ticket instead.

he was not harassed but arrested and vehicle impounded

that's the entire point. inaccurate DB is the fault of the government and the citizenry shouldn't be punished for that

like I said VIO have automated theirs, cams pick u up and document same.

He was willing to pay, which modality is in place? why is he forcefully arrested for traffic offense? traffic offenses are not violent crimes that require such force.

you see why overzealous policemen should be sent to face bandits, so they can forcefully arrest them, rather than flex muscles on unarmed citizens

789kol:


that database is not entirely reliable sir..

I know what I am saying..

if he is driving on the road the next day..and he is stopped at a checkpoint the police at that point have no means of checking his details via his vehicle license or whatever to see that he committed an offense few days ago..all the officers do is to check if his vehicle is ok and he is allowed to go free... Police vehicles are not fitted with computer to validate things like this the same way you see in other developed countries..there is already a sophisticated system that will still compel vehicle owners to willingly pay the charges on their ticket,,such doesnt exist here..hence their method of enforcing traffic laws can never work in this part of the world...

the only way to enforce traffic laws in developing and under developed countries like Nigeria is to seize their vehicles and motorcycle and the criminal goes to the station to answer to his crime

I strongly disagree, there are DBs, when they are inefficient and not updated, the government bear the brunt and not hold the citizenry for the government's excesses.

harassing citizens who's tax pays Ur salary is a crime

789kol:


stop being naïve..you think he truly wanted to pay for a ticket that doesnt exist or bribe the officers..

if any money is transfered to the officer..do you think it will be registered as the fee payed for committing the offense or the officer will thank God say he don see money to go house..

let be realistic here..The officers are right to have seived his vehicle ..the same way they seize the okada of abokis who do such and you see nothing wrong..
if he wants his car back , he should walk to the station and now properly pay to the authorities there

give him a ticket, collecting car comes in after refused payment on a time frame.

how are they managing the VIO cameras? they already have something working.. Police in Nigeria are just unnecessarily archaic and incorrigible.

789kol:

please be realistic..
This issue isnt about advance country..

You and I know that there is nothing like ticket here..there is no reliable database that contains the phone number and email of every Nigerian with a vehicle or motorcycle including the agberos and okada riders..

in the absence of this ..when you break traffic laws..your car should be seized then any necessary bill you need to pay for your crime .you walk into the station and settle it and collect your car.that is the system that works for us..until we get to the status of "developed countries"
when you are arrested for breaking such law and you do not submit your self easily and peaceful or you resist. the officers have every right to pull his arm or use extra measures...

am pretty sure if it was the case of all this hausa guys riding okada on BRT lane..your stand is that the okada should be seize..abi you wan tell me say na aboki go receive email of ticket? where as in your so called developed countries the motocyclist and his bike would be allowed free and ticket will be served..HYPOCRISY!

there are several databases, your Vehicle licencing, plate registrations, etc. the govt can validate and update the database. your assertions here is completely wrong. Nobody in the 'real' world forcefully collect our car for traffic offense

The government divides the road, a private man or firm run business on that road and anybody else who follow that road is fined 70k.. but the private firm makes money for their boss, a supposedly private person.. No, Nigeria can not work.


if BRTs are government owned, it will make sense. How much has BRR generated for government since inception.

read all through the messages, WE indeed deserve our leaders.

like really? Nigerians are even blaming the artist? his music used in a political setting without his permission, an unregistered centre?

damn!

emecheboy2:

Starlink is available if you can make a direct request, download the app and configure your location.
