American Billionaires are so down to Earth??lol .Trump is a classical example of what it means to have money in america and be cocky.Naturally,Billionaires characters are not really known based on the way they live their lives,so you cant say they are humble.that by the way

In every society,there must be that separation of wealth and as such,things must not pan out the way it is.How many times have you seen this billionaires in this advanced society queue up to vote??Even in the same America,there was a thread here in Nairaland that said that an attack on America,the president is first protected.Thats the influence we are talking about.Afterall whats the difference between the president and ordinary citizen??

Trump is not a classic example of an typical American billionaire,he has always been controversial because he has huge investments in the showbiz world and been in the news for the good and not so good reasons because its sells for his own kind of business,are u aware that he has investments in WWE and has featured in a couple of wrestling bouts so u can imagine where he is coming from.

In every sane society there might be class but not brazen separation or oppression with wealth and I cant count how many times I have seen US billionaires on the queue at the store to pay for their groceries carrying their grocery bags themselves,no bodyguards, no nothing.

The president of every country is usually the number one citizen all over the works however I don't see the comparison in this case,the op wasn't complaining about the president jumping a queue but the daughter of a billionaire so the argument doesn't hold any water.

My point is Rory Gates (son of bill gates) would never be able to jump the queue in the US to vote just because of his fathers influence after all the only difference between him and an average Joe on the street is their social security number and perhaps the number of zeros ending their account balance

However Nigerians are typically power drunk so why am I not surprised u think its a norm after all someone wrote earlier that

Orderliness is a vice where entropy is rife.

Bill Gates Sr senior citizen?? In what capacity? As elected politician or what??The guy is just a successful business man if we are to reason in that capacity and is not better than any other employer of labour

As i maintain,its that wealth gap.it comes with its own packages just like every other thing in this world.And No,Bill Gates can NEVER line up even if it just took 15mins.Excuses like his Security will come up and thats just enough reason for him to jump the queue even though it may not even apply to such cases

In the US citizens over 65 yrs are usually called seniors and are entitled to some benefits,so if there is a general rule for preferential treatment for seniors yes he will be given and by Bill Gates Sr I meant the prominent billionaire Bill Gates dad.

The Billionaire Bill Gates is 62 years old and would be left with no other choice than to line up if need be to perform his civic responsibility because Americans that I know are not money worshipping folks so there won't be any owo mi da nor there be cheers or jeers,its his civic responsibility and his security which would be either SS or CIA agents dare not ask any citizen for such,except he is ready to waste a whole lot of money and time to lawsuits that would swarm him,infact he will be the best behaved on the queue after all he is the one that has a whole lot to lose,however most of these American billionaires are so down to earth that's its almost unbelievable so my dear he can NEVER jump a queue at least to perform his civic responsibility.

Adiwana:
Its called INFLEUNCE and it happens all over the world.You don't expect someone like Bill Gates to queue with ordinary citizens to collect their PVCs.He will always get that special treatment cause he is arguably the richest individual on mother Earth.Corruption or nah,such privileges will always exist

If we could trade places with the US both Bill gate Sr and Jr would not be given any preferential treatment trust me,however getting such done would be as hassle less as a walk in the park so they wouldn't be a need for it anyway.

(Maybe Bill gate Sr for been a senior citizen if it ever happen)

savio93:
I am disappointed at al those bashing the young woman who expressed her disappointment at the uncivil act of queue jumping.
It's not about DJ Cuppy but the fact that there wasn't any form of apology, or plea to those waiting for several hours.
We talk about corruption, but even this act if civil disorder is part of what we should never uphold.

We would never grow as a nation if money takes precedence.
We complain about those who collected Onions and 4k during recent elections, but there are lots of INEC Officials collecting different amount of money in order to register Nigerians.

Some peeps accuse the OP of being jealous.
I SMH over such comments.
Indeed we have a long way to go as a country.

I agree with the lady, if the billionaire daughter want to register without joining the queue, then she should have acted more discreetly.
VIp treatments exist, but in saner clime, it's dome discreetly. Not in the full view of others who by being attended to, they feel cheated.

Seriously one crate of beer for u gentleman,you are so on point!!!

ramdris:
She is a security risk bro....same as Davido..Imagine bad guys coming 2 kidnap her and sensing resistance..what will happen to those around her?

Everywhere in life even in Heaven, pple gets preferential treatments for one reason or other..let's not make a fuss about it..

As I have always said the problem of Nigerians is double standards and low self esteem,we need to respect our institutions and not individuals,its a shame on our electoral system.

If we were to trade places with the UK where she is as well very familiar with she would not dare try that irrespective if her dad could buy everyone on the queue for dinner

She is a security risk while u are what??a nobody I guess,ask yourself after all the drama how many PVCs were given to her just 1same as you so use your tongue to count your teeth.

She has at least 4mopols armed to the teeth as her security detail so that should be enough to calm nerves,lord knows I would have raised hell if I were to be there last last her mopol go beat me or beg me,however I could let it pass only because she is really down to earth as far as I'm concerned.

ClixMaster:
Your fore fathers couldn't correct it, and you think you can by typing over the internet? Boss, up your game to national assembly and make your voice heard there.

I bet if you happen to be wealthy and famous tomorrow, you'll do it differently . Nigerians and hypocrisy are like 5 and 6

If the person that developed the polio vaccine had this same mindset as you I bet millions of kids wouldn't have ever made their 10th birthday in Africa including you, however I am not inspired at all into partisan politics in Nigeria with the kind of politicians we have at the helms of affairs in this country so not everyones tall dream is to make to national assembly even if it would put me in the Forbes list unlike you.

And if I were in his shoes I would definitely not go for the NYSC because it would be easier for me and other corps members than been given preferential treatment and rubbing it in their face so yes I would do it differently.

tamethem:
You make sense my guy

You make sense die but there are always an exception in some settings.

My guy if Davido should serve like every other person, it won't last a month when the whole country will be mourning for his demise or Kidnap.

He would be a target for Kidnappers asking to share from his "30 billion for the accounti oo"

And he could be dropped dead by his haters or you think he doesn't have enemies?

Even as he is there he could course a stampede and there might be scores of casualties.

If the presidents child is there, do you think he will serve same way you serve. The SSS would be on watch day and night making sure he is not kidnapped or killed.

The truth is Davido has same fame as that.

I am not against your point o but if you will be frank enough we are born same way but not equal.

Peace

In every sane country there are no exceptions however we are in a dysfunctional society so why am I not surprised,having armed police detail seem to be a status symbol in Nigeria lately however I wouldn't blame them because the level of insecurity in the country in mind boggling and if I can afford it I would definitely get one as well even tho I'm not a superstar and all that.

In 2016 Sasha Obama did volunteer work at a seafood restaurant in Massachusetts during her summer break,her security detail of 6 US secret service agents wait outside the restaurant while she is at work,trust me the SS have every right to clear out the restaurant if they deem fit but they won't because they respect their institutions including private ones,how much more if it were a government institution.

Davido does not have half the security threats as the daughter of the POTUS,neither does he have the money or influence to have 6 SS agents at his disposal,trust me there are hoods in the US that are more deadly than the most notorious slum in Lagos all thanks to weak guns laws,however caution isn't thrown to the wind.

We were born same way and we are equal both in the eyes of our creator and reasonable men.

This is every shade of wrong however inferiority complex and our bastardized institutions won't let u know that I guess.

ClixMaster:
Guy na English u still dey speak. There's an exception to every rule in any country. No matter how you try deny it, the High and Mighty in any country are accorded some respect and preferential treatment.
So for your mind, you expect someone who entered camp with police escort to be told to do frog jump?

Guy na jargons u still dey speak,the idea of walking around with security escort in itself smacks of nothing but insecurity, I bet u have never been out of this country because if u did you will understand better,go to west Hollywood or Sunset blvd and see Hollywood stars walking all alone with no cheers or jeers from anyone,I mean hollywood stars whose net will buy Davido and his dad in a New York min,in every sane country all rules are the same for peasants and gazillionaires irrespective,the estimated revenue Zuckerberg lost in 2018 alone is more than the total net worth of Dangote yet he jogs every morning on the streets on CA all alone,no police escort no guards no nothing,moving around with police escort is a hallmark of a dysfunctional society.

ChiefAzubuike:
Big lie. If someone like drake or any celeb enter any american gathering, everybody go go gaga. The girl go go wild. Naso e be every where forget poverty mentality.

One of the main problems of Nigeria is double standards and poverty mentality,NYSC is pure voluntary service to fatherland and should be treated as such and not a show, why would they accord Davido any preferential treatment of driving in while other are forced to frog jump into camp with their bags on their heads,trust me if drake decided to serve the USMC for example and was posted to camp Pendleton,no one would even have the time to take a pic not talk oh him addressing his mates like a superior, if we are to be taken serious as a country we need to respect institutions and not individuals.

I can supply you Kosso in large quantity,get back to me if u are interested,regards.

Whatever rocks the couple boats but its more of a disservice to her parents portraying them as weaklings,if she can be proud of her knee not touching the ground if not for the sake of the husband at least as a last respect for her parents.

HAVE YOU GONE FOR IT SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU NEED IT ASAP I can see frustration looming

Oboy go siddon somewhere with your intolerant life joor,we have celebrated isese day and it was nothing but a success,if u had seen tourist at the osun groove u should have been ashamed of yourself and your imported religion,if u don't like it GAD.

EmirAbj:
YOU'RE NOT A XTIAN AND WHY DISTURBING MY LIFE DEN, GENTLEMAN YOU NEED THIS, OYA TAKE

Disturbing your life kwa lol,how,did I disturb u to write the jargons u wrote here earlier or is your finger working faster than your brain.

Now that I have taken u to the cleaners on the jargons u wrote is this all your are able to come up with.

Your case in irredeemable as you don't have the cerebral capacity to engage in any meaningful discuss.

EmirAbj:
SO YOUR THREE GODS SAID YOU SHOULD BE OBSERVING ISESE WITH YOUR XTIANITY RIGHT?? OR ISESE SUPERIOR THAN YOUR THREE GODS AND YOUR RELIGION?? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT YOUR PEOPLE DO KISS WAILING WALL DURING PILGRIMAGE TO JERUSALEM?? OR YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF WAILING WALL IN YOUR BIBLES

Even though I'm not a Christian but the bible says give Ceaser what belong to Ceaser,in other words give to Isese people what rightly belongs to them which is just one day for their festivities, how hard is that for u intolerant folks.

I haven't heard of the wailing wall nor do I care because I know its inconsequential, going to Jerusalem isn't one of the ten commandments in Christianity so it doesn't count at all unlike u guys that have to go all the way to the middle east to slam your heads on the floor and kiss some black ass stone before u can be considered as a pious one.

EmirAbj:
WELL I DON'T BLAME YOU, WORSHIPPING IDOLS IS WHAT YOUR RELIGION CHERISH MOST, IMAGINE GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON AND GOD THE HOLY GHOST, HOW MANY GODS DEY YOUR HEAVEN

Where did this one germinate from,the Isese day has already been fixed by the Osun State Government prior to sighting of your lost moon,so do u want them to cancel Isese day just for Muslims when u have Tuesday and Wednesday as public holidays, the problem with Islam all over the world is intolerance,why not allow them enjoy their one day is festives while u enjoy yours as well,as long as its has the state backing I guess there is nothing u can do about it,maybe u guys need to patronise more astrologers so u can always find out when u will see your lost moon in good time instead of dilly dallying,lastly can u pls remind me the name of the black stone idol y'all must kiss else u dont make your heaven

The law of the state is supreme. The law does not give priorities to handicap people to run foul of it.

The law of the state must be obeyed and respected.

The law of the state is supreme neither does it give priorities to even the governor to run foul of it.

There has been a stay of the execution on this matter in court,why has the governor refused to obey and respect it.

Are u just a double faced hypocrite or u are actually clever by half?

buddy221:
please my follow country people. don't come to Ghana if you are not prepared. the preparation I mean is... you must come with money or you are skillful. no job here for you. business is good if you have the money to invest. you can learn phone repairs or computer repairs before coming. it will fetch you some good bucks. Ghana is calm and secured. the people are humble. since i came to Ghana my phone have never gone off because light is 247. ask any questions I'll answer with the little I know. finally, Ghana is very expensive.

Nice one o.p,I'm a pro DJ and I want to know the prospects of having a studio and been a DJ and maybe add importation by the side over there,I do have a tour later this year and wouldn't mind to add GH to expand my connections in the entertainment industry,I await your suggestions,thanks

Pls can u help me get her jazzman number,the thing pick well well lol

But on a more serious note I see nothing to worry about.

Wish her the best of luck in her interview and ambitions, if she eventually get the visa(your worst case scenario) get her a tourist UAE visa and one for yourself and I'm sure it would be a wonderful getaway for u both to meet,bond and know each other better and she can fly to the Us from there and u back to base,i don't know your budget but as they say all is fair in love and war as I see d tin done hook u well lol.

If she gets to the US(your worst case scenario)then flips then it was never meant be but will have memories of getting bouncy bouncy in bed to catch up with at least if u get lucky.

If she doesn't agree to the all expenses paid Dubai trip then it's crystal clear there is more to it and the lady isn't into u as much as u are into her.

There’s a great difference btwn Adeosun NYSC cert and that of Adeleke.
The police can’t do jack on Adeosun’s own until NYSC clears the issue. NYSC will do justice before police can go into action.

Adeleke’s own had been denied outright from the institution in US and his result can’t be found with WEAC.

Aren't u ashamed that the Educational institution in the US and the West African exam council has been able to confirm or deny their certifications while our own government agency is yet to find its voice to confirm or deny the alleged forged certificate in this 21st century's,peeps with no iota of shame or logic are perhaps a royal pain in the ass for progress of the nation.

Enice:
TRASH the NYSC certificate maybe fake, yes, but was it forged? No. You cannot forge something you applied for and was issued by the government. Adeosun applied for a discharged certificate and got one from the NYSC (NYSC has come out to say she applied for a discharge certificate). She cannot then be charged for forgery. NYSC have to put its house in other and that is where investigation is ongoing. Who actually issued that certificate.
Take for example you applied for a birth certificate from NPC and you were issued with one. Years later, you are asked to present you certificate for something related with government. After due deligence, it was discovered that the person that sign your certificate was not authorised. Would that be a forged certificate?

Of course that would be a forged certificate because you obviously didn't follow due process for the certificate to be signed by an authorized person,its now left for u to take the NYSC to court and sue them for negligence of duty with proof beyond reasonable doubt u followed all due process,its now left to the court to decide,if all works out in your favor u will be reissued a similar original certificate with plenty of thanks and perhaps cash to make up for their blunders,I hope I have made myself clear enough in the most elementary way possible for minds like u to understand.

sureheaven:
and it’s taking NYSC more than a month just to produce her certificate ? When me it wount take 2 days to get same ??



NYSC never denies Adeosun completely, they said she applied for exemption.
The institution Adeleke claimed had come out straight to deny him. WAEC has also denied him.

U can sue NYSC to clarify the issue on adeosun’s own first before weighing the two on same scale.

Since NYSC never denied her completely then what stops them from posting the certified master copy of her exemption certificate which should be a piece of cake for a government agency so we can all put this issue to rest besides two different civil rights organization has already approached the court to compel NYSC to release info under the FOI act and they are yet to respond.

The way u are been a double faced hypocrite I can only pray the kind of heaven u deserve sure for u.

On a lighter note,years ago while I was in junior sec school I had this girlfriend of mine,we attended the same church and same school where she was my my junior and also lived in the same hood, we were more like family friends,as I was familiar with all her siblings as well as parents,just a case of 2 teenagers that were fond of each other, however we were not dating or anything, just friends,(even tho we play ruff play sometimes lol).

She was pretty as well as very playful,fastword it to a fateful day I went to her house to visit,as I was climbing the steps upwards to the longue she opened the door and she gave me a kick in my balls for a welcome while laughing hysterically(it was meant to be a joke I guess)but it went wrong as it hit me hard on the sac,before u could blink an eye I slapped her so hard blood came out of her nose,it was more of a reflex action cos the pain I went through for the next couple of minutes was nothing but excruciating while seated on the steps,she burst in tears,barged into her room locked up while I went home with blue balls lol.

That was the end of our friendship as we never exchanged words again for a few years until much later when we were much more matured and we only exchange pleasantries that was about it.

This story gave me a throwback and if I could turn back the hands of time one thing I would have done differently was to apologize after the incident even tho it was in the era prior to the advent of the GSM in Nigeria,I could have visited her to let her know it was more of a reflex action and I never meant to hurt her,cos if it had happened again even now I might have done the same thing to her(the pain was out of this world only guys can relate) and it was more like a reflex the only difference would be that I would apologize profusely now.


Moral of the story. I guess the op isn't saying the whole truth,he and the said girl must have been friends or at least be in talking terms and maybe have hots for each other and it was more of a playful gesture gone wrong,(some girls can be waywardly playful from experience).

However if there were not in any friendly terms whatsoever prior to this incident then we can all conclude that the girl is a sick pervert and she deserves a black eye for that.

itu404:
don"t matter whether he gives press conference or not as long as he keeps fighting corruption. Trump got no time for one either. Every leader has his style as long as you fulfill your mandate. : who the hell cares about that propaganda.

It matters because we the masses that voted him need to be able to ask him questions about the affairs of the country and pls don't go there to compare him with Trump cos he has granted numerous press conferences and I hope u have an idea how active he is on social media as well,even Putin a supposed closet narcissist still hold press conferences I wonder why Nigeria's case should be any different,we elected a president and not chairman as in the case of NK so we deserve every means of communication with him if need be.

yes, they should withdraw the army from the front line ASAP, and deploy civil defense, police and man o war with immediate effect, then see what will happen in the next one month, if all of us no go turn refugees....the sovereignty of the nation is under threat, you people are busy speaking English and comparing us to America. RUBBISH.

In actual facts the op is right,its the full responsibility of the police to counter interior insurgency all things been equal,the use if the Army I believe is for desperate measures for desperate times.

Hedonini:
As the siege on the National Assembly was taking place to the consternation of the entire country and international observers, it was an embarrassed Prof Yemi Osibanjo that called Buhari in panic and asked whether he had authorised the DSS action. Buhari demurred, but ultimately denied having any knowledge about it.

Osibanjo then summoned the NSA and the IGP to get their views on the matter, and they revealed that APC Chair Oshiomhole - in concert with the Chief of Staff Kyari, DG DSS Daura, and certain unnamed presidential power brokers had orchestrated the plot to besiege the National Assembly and pave the way for Saraki's forceful impeachment. However, along the line, Oshiomhole and the others got livid as they suspected that Daura was a double agent who probably leaked the plan to Saraki and the press thereby thwarting the plot.

Osibanjo felt belittled that such a monumental decision could be taken and executed without his knowledge and immediately rang up Buhari again and protested the impunity and denigration of his office as Acting President. Knowing the strong ties between Daura and Buhari and knowing how difficult it is to break the bond between both men, Osibanjo emphatically declared his readiness to immediately tender his resignation if Daura was not removed. Buhari, knowing the disastrous implication of Osibanjo's resignation over the matter, reluctantly granted Osibanjo the authorisation to take disciplinary action against Daura.

Consequently, Osibanjo summoned Daura and asked him to explain the rationale behind his impudent action. As is characteristic of his interaction with Osibanjo who he holds in disdain, Daura was insouciant and even condescending in his response. He simply affirmed his allegiance to President Buhari and reiterated that he is only answerable to the President - not knowing that the tide had turned against him. Consequently, Osibanjo ordered his dismissal and arrest.

Public affairs unit of the ICC did not publish any email, or post any updates to the website, so how does Daily trust know the content of the email exchanged ??

""Yoruba's,Hausa's,hutus,Zulus,Hindus,Asians,are also building theirs""

Leave Asians out of this, we are talking about a specific country alone.

Hindu is religion .

Yoruba Hausa n Igbo are in Nigeria and the tribe with the most recorded ingenuity are the igbos...Igbos as a people are known even beyond nigeria as inventors n innovators.

Hausa n Yoruba are never compared with igbos anywhere.


""Fact is Igbo's created a lot of things during the war not out of foresight""

This is the height of stupidity and I believe u know.


"" I don't get why some ignorant dolts on this forum keep saying there was no external help on the Biafra""


The help biafra got was far far smaller than what Nigeria got. If the military aid biafra got was close to or same as the one Nigeria got, The war would have been balanced and The results would have been different.









IGBOS WERE ABLE TO INNOVATE AND BUILD SO MANY THINGS WITHIN THAT WAR BECAUSE THEY HAD IT IN THEM, THEY HAD THE BRAINS N INGENUITY TO DO SO.

EVERYBODY BRAIN NO BE THE SAME SIZE AND EVERY TRIBE BRAIN NO BE THE SAME SIZE.

MAN PASS MAN.

Dude I'm not into any silly deek measuring conte st with u about what tribe is the best and all that because I'm too decent to be dragged into your petty tribal banters and show of shame on NL.

Mr I.T.K ,folks like u have nothing upstairs yet u feel like some Einstein wallowing in sheer ignorance

The term Hindu, in contemporary parlance, includes people who accept themselves as culturally or ethnically Hindu rather than with a fixed set of religious beliefs within Hinduism. One need not be religious in the minimal sense, states Julius Lipner, to be accepted as Hindu by Hindus, or to describe oneself as Hindu.
Hindu - Wikipedia

I guess u have no inkling of an idea what foresight means,anyway if they had invented whatever your claim they did way before the way them that's foresight but since it's during the war then its sheer necessity after been pounded silly by canons are u this slow that we have to break everything down for u.

You claim Igbo's have innovated a lot yet u haven't been able to give us an example of your innovations and pls don't mention taking prototype samples to China to make dumbed down replicas as your ingenuity.

Im forced to agree that everybody brain no be the same with your rants because it looks like yours might be a small one of a lower primate because only Orang Utangs go chest beating with absolutely nothing to show for it.

adesina746:
I can see how properly brought up you are due to your lack of intelligence. Back to the matter first and foremost did u correct the person who called the op illiterate or the one that said the op is mad? You cannot go about insulting people anyhow. If you notice all my comments i use the exact word anyone uses to abuse to abuse the person back so if it hurts them then they should know it hurts whoever they said it to. U can never see me be the first to raise insult on an individual i rather make my comment and pass my message across.

Now to your question Social media is a technology available to those that are criminally minded'' this means the I.G is directly pointing to a group of people and making it known that they can use it for their ulterior motives

While assuming the I.G first mentioned about the good and serious people using social media then this comes to play "Social media is a technology also available to those that are criminally minded". meaning the criminally minded people are the third party here. But in the real contest the two phrases are the same and mean the same thing

N.B one is direct and the other is to a third party depending on what preceded the phrase

Even if u are Sean Spicer I don't think you would be able to spin this to anything meaningful as he meant exactly the same thing.

If I were the journalist the next question I would have asked him was

Thanks you sir but opinion polls around suggest that the SARS unit is also made available to ex convicts who might as well be criminally minded due to their exposure to hardened criminals while incarcerate in prison,is this actually one of the recruitment criteria for the unit?

Oya come and answer for the IG Mr Spicer.
