Nonsense caption... the guy said "please now" so they can stop blocking his way and holding traffic. It also sounded like he was saying "last week they break..." so it's like they do this often. They didn't agree to shift, so they got a small love tap from bodyguard

People here would be the first to shout "abi o ya were ni" if anybody blocks their Camry in traffic
But I go fear to drive Bentley on naija roads oh...

That's why I keep laughing when people from one side say: "I will..." "Ha! you don't know me!"
But if na person from Kano day talk like that... be wise and run.

Hmmm so now is the time to seat and learn old time wisdom about finance....Enjoy the lessons from your gentleman dad...but really do you need a fixed deposit or you need to turn your seeds to trees and forests.

I advice people to divide their earnings into 3 parts:
1/4 save in fixed deposits/treasuries
1/4 invest in stocks, businesses, or some other long-term affair
1/2 for your monthly expenses.

Not everybody can use only 1/2 their income for living expenses, but one should try, to the best they can.

Fixed deposits are a good way to secure your hard work and make sure you won't lose it all. I've seen too many people invest everything when the times are good, and having nothing to fall back on during hard times. If you can get to a point where you have 3M in fixed deposit of any kind, earning between 5%-12%, you could be seeing from 150k to 360k annually. In good times you simply put that money back into fixed deposits, and in hard times... ol boy, 360k entering your account annually is a life saver. Plus you never have to touch your long term investments.

How many superstars became broke because of bad investments? Too many. If only they'd followed this 1/3 savings rule...

If Davido just manages to put away only 30M in fixed deposits today, he is guaranteed over 3M annually for life. Of course he will earn more, invest in other things including real estate and talent management, but just knowing you will never starve allows you to make riskier, more profitable investments.

GodSaklek:
Don't expect my brothers to do all those things,these shoprites and pep belongs to Nigerians, they just bought the franchise from SA,what I expect from them is to visit MTN head office in lagos or Abuja,they should burnt the nonsense to ashes,and DSTV head office as well,this are the real South African direct business,including standard banks... All this will hurt them most, it will really hit them hard...
See how they are laughing at Zambians that loots shoprite in Zambia below.

I find the attacks against Nigerians reprehensible and we have to send a strong message.

However, after these things are burnt, and Nigerians don't have these services, what then?
MTN and co will simply recoup their losses by raising prices in one form or the other, so they won't really lose much. If the buildings and equipment are burned, yay! more business for South Africa as they will employ equipment makers, installers, ethernet cable manufacturers, etc to replace. They will likely get the assurance/insurance company to pay for any other losses, who will in turn charge Nigerians more to recoup the claim.

Omihanifa:
Old pic

Did you read the topic...? it's an old pic to match an old topic (that the Oluwo protested back in 2014).
It even has the words "2014" and "throwback" in it

Weh done Oluwo

Wiseandtrue:
Who knows if it was such works that made him the king!!!

What he can do as an individual is one thing. What he can do as king is quite another. He does not need to carry any placard anymore; he just has to say the word, and hundreds will carry placard. So just because you don't see him doing something, doesn't mean he does not have effect.

Countries that don't honor their obligations/judgements/contracts have a hard time getting bonds or investments later on. Ask Venezuela...

Perfectnumber6:
You are so lucky that this place is a faceless forum, if not Na people like una den dey track use broken bottle shuck shuck your yansh till you bleed tire for this rubbish thing wey u talk so

So the response to "let's be reasonable" is to get a broken bottle in my ass? From the same people who become docile when SARs shows up? The same people who sing the praises of our bad leaders when they drop small change?

Sonfethopia:
Guy you made no sense pls

All I'm saying is: we don't protest when hundreds of Nigerians die on a regular basis... why are we protesting when a few are killed in SA? Are hundreds of Nigerian lives lost (at the hands of Nigerians) not as important as the ones killed in SA?

But you may be right... time for me to shut up because I'm not making sense.

PrecisionFx:
Are u saying we should loot our fellow Nigerians to show we are angry about police n army killings?

It doesn't make sense to loot our fellow Nigerians; in the same way it doesn't make sense to loot our brothers from South Africa.

But I'm not advocating looting; instead we should be protesting loudly in Abuja against police n army killing.

rapcy:
Bros, read wetin you write, Shea e make sense to you

Yes. Why are we protesting a small number of lives lost in SA, when we accept large numbers of lives lost in NG everyday? Even the fact that we have drug dealers at the root of these protest. But anyways, 2-3 days from now, people will tire of reacting and go back to usual sedated selves.

In fact, this post says it all for me:

virginboy1:
The day South Africans will touch cows, is the day they will see the wrath of this present government of Nigeria.

Sad but true. We are protesting against SA when the real enemy of the Nigerian people is in Aso Rock.

Please kindly boycott Nigeria too, because this country treats its own citizens worse than animals. Cows have more rights that humans here. When tragedy happens to people abroad, or President sends "praying for", and "best wishes". When it happens here, our same President is silent.

Very smart. Burn down Nigerian assets to protest protests in SA.

Let's be rational here.

Police, kidnappers, ritualists, fake medicine, bad hospitals, and truck drivers waste the lives of innocent Nigerians everyday. What's all the noise now that South Africans are wasting lives? Is it because of a few lives lost in SA we will now protest? What of the hundreds of lives lost every day in Nigeria, caused by Nigerians and our government? Why don't we protest that?

Please don't say: "what if it was your relative killed in SA?" I have lost relatives in Nigeria to the aforementioned, and nobody protested for them, or people like them.

The protests/killings started because a (SA?) taxi driver was shot dead by a (NG?) drug dealer. Now everybody and their uncle is "reacting", losing perspective, and swearing up and down, yet doing nothing to back it up or cause for real change. The person who last called for a revolution protest march is cooling his heels in DSS custody, all but forgotten. As usual, I give these reactions 3 more days before we're on to the next distraction. Mtchew!

Ikpeazukerosene:
The Presidency has a Nairaland handle. The Efcc has a Nairaland handle. If you think the DSS, DMI, NIA, FORCID and Co aren't here, you don't know anything.

I know they're here... I just mean they don't react because they don't read or pay too much attention. This forum is full of noise makers who don't or can't do anything.

simonlee:
Nigerians calling a sitting president a terrorist on the largest forum in Nigeria and later say there's no freedom of speech under Buhari....

That's because he doesn't read Nairaland...
You can't say so in papers, on radio, and once his people get wind of NL all this freedom will cease.

ngeneukwuewuGOAT:
nonsense court
stupid and bias judges
useless judgement.
Nigeria is cursed and will never get better with judges like this.
idiots

Heh heh, I feel your pain.
However the judges are quite smart, doing the bidding of their master... who, BTW was elected by Nigerians. So technically, the system is working just as the citizens intended.

PeacenLove2:
1000% on the restructuring. The present system has failed abysmally.

It's not the system... it's the people. Biafra leadership also squandered a lot of the new country's wealth on frivolities (none of the leadership drove cheap cars or subjected themselves to rationing food for the cause). Same thing to be said of Western Region leaders... and we see all the exquisite palaces built during the Sokoto Caliphate. So I don't see how restructuring is going to prevent frivolous spending.

aolawale025:
This is commendable!
Too much waste in government

Commendable from citizens, but a non-starter. NASS is the one government entity empowered to spend as it sees fit: it's in charge of the treasury. Executive creates a budget, subject to NASS approval. On the other hand there's no provision that I know of to subject NASS budget to any external approval. In other words, the courts can't do anything.

If people don't like what their representatives are doing with the peoples' money, they can recall them, or vote wisely next time.

mercyviv:
When your host begins to act funny you don't need a soothsayer to tell you you've overstayed your welcome. Time to come back home for those who value their lives though.

Come home to what? Kidnappers, herdsmen, SARS, random trailer accidents, or what? This country is not any safer abeg, they should stay there jor.

Nice to know... please add that it's a good sleeping aid and cures insomnia.

mercyviv:
this seemingly harmless drink... turned out a 5mins trek took us more than an hour; I began to see things beyond ordinary eyes. My advise to anyone who cares to listen: underestimate the unadulterated palm wine at your own peril!

I hear you... the thing is so sweet you won't even realize it. I've never left a palm wine joint sober. Either I'm sleeping or I'm singing

NwaAmaikpe:


That's neither weed nor alcohol....she's dancing like she's excited that she's about to be laid soon

That's the type of dance a woman whose hinges have not been greased in ages dances at the certainty of some preekservice.

Conji is very underrated.
And our women live in denial till they eventually find closure in cucumbers and Rexona spray cans.

Hey!.... you badt gaan!

Just the fact that it's Friday night is enough to make me dance like that... then add asun, Hero, and a side dish of ogberaga. I'm set.

But in the case of this lady, na weed

wagazala:
OP this your headline is misleading o....many for don get heart attack.

Some of us still wan born for yankee.

The policy doesn't even make sense, since it only affects people who are already US citizens, who give birth while abroad. It does not affect children born in the US nor their (possibly foreign) parents.

BeautifulMind2:
Your tribe actually topping in fraud in Nigeria, imagine one Igbo boy, rest Yoruba

Just in this one case the majority were Yoruba. Typically that list is full of Igbo names. That EFCC chart does not account for all my brothers named Chinonso and Chuwkudi living in Lagos and Abuja.

But my biggest worry is: what will car dealers, clubs, and olosho use to celebrate this Christmas, this one that EFCC has been rounding up?

But on a serious note... every part of Nigeria has its criminal elements, mostly brought up by poverty and lack of opportunity. I'm getting tired of all this tribal sectionalism.

Man goes to where he can make daily bread... woman complains she doesn't like the city... must be nice to have such choices when you're not the one providing

I got this email this morning... I really don't know why everything has to be last minute. So either today Friday or next Monday is all the time we have? So annoying. And what happens if I get mutilated bills next Friday? I can't put it in bank abi? This should be an ongoing exercise, as obtains in saner countries.

To be honest though, I don't have up to 2k in mutilated bills so it doesn't concern me

Such a waste for Nigeria that people get educated here, just to take their skills and apply them abroad. Our leaders really have no sense.

If you can port to Canada, I wholly support it!

exstreve:
Lol, I thought this is exactly what Nigerians like?

Don't mind them... awon hypocrites. They went and clicked on the video. Watched the video several times, then decided to comment. Mtchew

I won't lie. I liked it, and I know this jam go sweet inside club. Or inside shower, she you get

PureGoldh:
Who did we actually offend in this country?

Whats actually our offense?

This kidnap stories just dey dent the image of this our country.

We didn't offend anybody oh... we just keep using our own hands to vote for the wrong people... Welcome to next level.

Oh God... what an empty vessel. You know what they say about empty vessels making the most sound?

Who ever he is, Jubril or Buhari, that person is the head of state. Dead or alive. Zombie or not. Doesn't matter if he's in Japan or Nigeria - he's just as ineffective. Why is Kanu wasting my bandwidth and annoying me with useless post of no significance.

TSRC:
And buhari is in the same Japan o.
He allowed a country of less than 30million people to out maneuver him.
We have never had it this bad.

Davash222:
Why did Ghana attract Toyota while Nigeria, giant of Africa(indeed) attracts only handshakes

Unfortunately, because that is who Nigeria wanted. We said they should choose two accomplished businessmen with international contacts, but they instead chose a person who doesn't understand business or economics. This is what happens.
