Pierocash: That is what the Niger Junta ought to have done to ease pressure from them. Send him on exile , constitute committee to investigate him,, charge him for corruption, and sentence him in absentia, case closed. All this " return Bazoum" that Ecowas and the west have been singing wouldn't have been there
Or they could have simply shot Bazoum and closed the matter permanently...
Reflect7: Let's not pretend or be delusional on this GADEMN FORUM.
This terminal was built in the centre of OSHODI.
Has any of you here been to OSHODI?
Especially before they built that terminal?
Look, I GREW UP PASSING THROUGH OSHODI DAILY ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL.
Oshodi was a hellhole of fast commerce, market women selling everywhere.
Oshodi is the first place I've seen where market women would place their stalls in the middle of the road, with cars passing. When the Molue reaches the point they are, the driver would jump out screaming at the women to remove their stalls from the road.
You would think the women would be remorseful and be saying sorry for blocking the road. For where? They will be abusing the driver back as he's driving off. Raining curses on him! That's Oshodi for you!
Plus chronic overcrowding, rushing for Molue, desperation, illiteracy, semi-literacy, touts, thugs, Alayes, pickpockets, drug dealers, poverty, and open defecation.
Oshodi was where ARMED ROBBERS used to go and hide after committing atrocities in more civilized parts of Lagos.
A sprinkling of BROTHELS in the area gladly served as hideouts.
I personally frequented some of those brothels in my secondary school days in the 80s.
I often used my pocket money to go and nyash ashewo.
Short time, 10 Naira.
Oshodi was the quintessential Lagos hellhole.
All those people were not moved out of OSHODI after they commissioned the terminal.
They are still there.
So how the hell do you expect the terminal to look?
The minute I heard they were building that terminal at OSHODI, I knew it would get to this.
I'm even surprised they haven't smashed in all those ajebota glass walls and trimmings in the terminal.
The place even still looks clean somehow, considering the fact that it is in Oshodi.
Truth is it will be a hell of a task keeping that terminal looking like somewhere in Paris or Brussels or London, with the kind of characters that populate OSHODI.
If that facility was located somewhere in Ikeja or Surulere or Island or Lekki, the place will be looking very clean and sharp even with minimal maintenance.
Simply because of the calibre of people in those areas.
The long-term solution for this sort of thing is just to improve the living standards of the masses, plus education.
Snob.. The terminal would be fine regardless of the so called caliber of people were it maintained..
Kingosytex: We just dey destroy and demolish things
Why not bring the culprits to book and convert the refinery to government use? Since they refine fuel of nice and high quality octane value, why not convert it to government property? Even if the standards fall short, why can't it be upgraded?
Or better yet give each of them one of the three non functioning govt refineries with some cash to get it working. I am sure they would succeed
Karnice600: I can fetch you any video of Sanni Abacha talking about his goodwill and plans for Nigeria, just like the video of Idi Amin you posted but what can that prove? It’s foolish to summarize Idi Amin’s performances by what he claimed he stood for. We simply look at his people during his reign, their inter relations, his administration policies etc. Didn’t Buhari claim that he successfully curbed high rate of unemployment in Nigeria? So a simple minded person will just see a clip of that speech and begin to use that as a proof that Buhari gave the best to Nigerians. That’s what you did. You have the internet at your disposal to educate yourself but you confuse yourself with it. Copy, paste and jumble words to come off like you know what you’re doing. Abacha and Idi Amin were all military dictators who got to power by coup. It’s crazy trying to compare them. But if we have to, then Abacha been dey learn work for wey Idi Amin dey unto matters of brutality and inhumanity. One minute you’re talking about Ben Gurion, Golda Meir, unrelated nouns. No bearing. Just mumbo jumbo. Don’t force yourself into a space you’ll look stupid in. That’s what you’re doing.
More strawman arguments and ad hominems..
You raised Entebbe, I explained why Ugandans reacted the way they did to Israelis. Giving you historical context all the way back to Gurion
Especially Idi Amin who explained his raison d'etre clearly.
I asked you for equivalent examples for Abacha, clearly you don't have any convincing examples..
Oya just say on this specific point you are wrong or weren't as well versed in the subject matter as you thought mtchewww..
All this, because you can't concede and say I got it WRONG..
My people stronghead till the end.. It is a good trait in the main as it is what sets us apart from others. But at times like this, it is a glaring character flaw.
Racoon: This matter is really escalating now. It means we are back to the era of military coupists government. The tyrannical mindsets of African leaders is not helping the continent.
While I don't like military juntas, have you heard what these leaders are actually saying?
I recall Burkina Fasos leader asking why Africa was the poorest continent when we have the most resources? He said plainly this we don't understand and must change..
Right or wrong, they are overthrowing western puppets masquerading as leaders..
The BAT has shown his true colours in taking up sanctions against them.
These men could be the next Josef Sankara or perhaps Mobutu. But who knows, time will tell?
Karnice600: Copied and pasted, yet still analyzing nonsense.
Find me any source where Abacha speaks of the interests of the Nigerian people or economy
Idi Amin so much had the interest of his people at heart? You're sick. Someone who murdered over 8,000 Ugandans in his first year of rule. By the end of his regime he had already killed over 200k Ugandans in 8 years of rule. He was later referred to as the Butcher of Uganda.., and you describe such as having the interest of his people at heart. Its either you're a jihadist, a sadist or you have a very shallow understanding of these events against the backdrop of global politics as the time. Copy and paste, yet a waste. Better go Entertainment section.
As I said, you dont have a source for Abacha
I came back with the actual video and source. Now you are ignoring it.
Look just say you got it wrong, instead of moving the goal posts and chatting more rubbish..
This is what I mean about us Nigerians, can't admit when we get something wrong.
It's annoying.. I respond in seconds you take all day googling, looking up some useless counter argument..
In fact there is an infamous clip of Idi Amin explaining how he wasn't taken in by the likes of Golda Meir and Ben Gurion. He understood unlike you they acted in their own self interest as did he.
Disuan head don knock. Walahi.
E just do Google search and started combining keywords stupidly to form a horrible answer.
Ben Gurion, Israel's first PM? Wetin concern Ben Gurion with Idi Amin? Someone who was late at the time. Rabin was the President as then.
Chai.
Many are mad na few dey roam.
I will wait all day for another stooopid response.. Dumb Nigerians can't learn to be quiet..
Btw I quote
Israel had had a special relationship with Uganda since the latter's independence from Great Britain, in 1962. Beginning in the nineteen-fifties, David Ben-Gurion, then Israel’s Prime Minister, sought strategic partnerships with states on the edge the Arab world, including Uganda, Kenya, Iran, and Turkey, to counter the hostile nations on Israel’s own borders. As part of what became known as the Peripheral Doctrine, Israel trained and equipped Uganda’s military and carried out construction, agriculture, and other development projects.
Source New Yorker..
The above relationship ultimately soured under both Obote and then after a brief improvement in relations also under Amin.. Gbam mumu
You and this other jackass, the one talking big but he was shaking and praying for Japa
Amin even mentions what was best for the people of Uganda and the economy..
Find me any source where Abacha speaks of the interests of the Nigerian people or economy clown

Karnice600: Hushhh. Please stop the noise. The little you know isn't enough to make u sound this loud. Go and read the book 90 minutes at Entebbe. I know you know your history just like the confused Ramaphosa of South Africa.
Much like the other clown, one event which in this case involved the Israeli hostages being taken doesn't mean in anything against the lifetime of a regime.
In fact there is an infamous clip of Idi Amin explaining how he wasn't taken in by the likes of Golda Meir and Ben Gurion. He understood unlike you they acted in their own self interest as did he.
Compare that to Abacha who shovelled how many billions into western banks that have never been found or retrieved? Oh sharap. Dimwit..
I swear like the other clown Nigerians and talk talk.. Its tiring... sharap abeg
Dybala11: Pounds and Sterling that you've never ever seen in your miserable existence. I'm waiting for when you will claim to be the richest man in the world soon, your father as already gotten an audio elevated financial status on this forum by you. Just ensure that you notify him in the village before he gets to know that from others around you. 😂😂😂
Dybala11: So you're think that your security guard job is gainful employment?? 😂😂😂
I fvcked up big time by dignifying a clown like you a response in the first place, the mistake actually happened because I thought I was having a conversation with a sane individual. Mr copy and paste, you're mad. 😂😂😂😂
Dybala11: You claimed to know about programming languages and even claimed you know chemistry blah blah blah when the only thing you could do was copy and paste the first search result you saw on Google as your answer to a question I asked you, cursed be the day you were born. Empty barrel. 😂😂
Dybala11: Yeah, I buy food that lasts me for 5 weeks or so from time to time, at least I don't go begging for assistance or live a fake life like you. Google doesn't make somebody a chemist, it requires actual training. Mr copy and paste Lord thinks everyone should live a fake life like him. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dybala11: The idiot is quoting messages not meant for him. He really thinks I'd care enough to check his comments and fake profile/status on this faceless forum. I don't care about whatever you claim to be, you're nothing Mr man. You're an empty vessel with no substance. 😂😂😂
Dybala11: Sha continue to pray for God's protection in this country we're in, and I repeat again your millions doesn't keep you safe in Nigeria. Continue to pray for divine protection and be vigilant, may we not be victims of evil circumstances. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dybala11: Before nko, foodstuffs na necessities now. I only start doing budget on money after I've bought foodstuffs that will last me for at least 4/5 weeks. Everywhere's dry now sha, things are quite expensive and income remains the same.
Dybala11: Another dumb takes from your stable, anyone who isn't a programmer is dumb right?? The funniest thing is that you aren't even a programmer, neither are you a chemist both you've claimed to know something in both fields now. Another proof of your single digit IQ, only a man with low self esteem and no substance upstairs like you will do that. 😂😂😂😂

Who said I was a programmer.. Work in finance clown
Dybala11: You're telling lies nigha. Copy and paste Lord, at least I'm not a programmer and I didn't pretend to be one like you're pretending to be. You better stop your pretense before your helpers overlook you as you're claiming what you're not. Hope your dad in the village knows you've elevated him to the status of a rich man in Ikoyi now so the info won't catch him unawares?? 😂😂😂😂
Also don't use the N word, that is word that was used by whites to dehumanise us.. I have few red lines even in the face of your idiocy.. but that is one.. dimwit
Dybala11: You're telling lies nigha. Copy and paste Lord, at least I'm not a programmer and I didn't pretend to be one like you're pretending to be.

Hope your dad in the village knows you've elevated him to the status of a rich man in Ikoyi now so the info won't catch him unawares?? 😂😂😂😂
Dybala11: That's because I'll never claim what I'm not unlike you who knows advanced chemistry without ever stepping in an advanced chemistry class or studying advanced chemistry. You were so dull that you didn't even go to another page before you do copy and paste, since you don't understand a word in what you copied you thought I wouldn't know and you're trying to pass if off as what you learnt in university. No university anywhere in the world will teach you about the mechanism of that reaction of you're not a chemistry major. You must be fun at parties. 😂😂😂
Dybala11: Dude is copying the front page of Google verbatim and he thinks he's wise. You think everyone is dull like you bah. May I never have a nonentity like you you around me. 😂😂 Below is what you copied verbatim on the front page of Google verbatim, this further cements your single digit IQ status:
"Haworth synthesis is a multistep preparation of phenanthrenes from naphthalenes by means of the Friedel–Crafts acylation with succinic anhydride, followed by a Clemmensen reduction or Wolff–Kishner reduction, cyclization, reduction, and dehydrogenation"
Dybala11: Which memory?? Google Lord, you copied and pasted what was on the first page of Google and you're here boasting with your copy and paste you do as usual. Say na memory, in fact na for programming you learn am. Somebody that doesn't even know a thing about reaction mechanisms is here claiming to be what he's not. 😂😂
Dybala11: Which memory?? Google Lord, you copied and pasted what was on the first page of Google and you're here boasting with your copy and paste you do as usual. Say na memory, in fact na for programming you learn am. Somebody that doesn't even know a thing about reaction mechanisms is here claiming to be what he's not. 😂😂
Dybala11: I've even gone too far sef. One of the most important discovery in the scientific world was made by Fritz Haber more than a century ago in what came to be known as the Haber process which is the most important process used in making the starting materials for fertilisers used in agriculture. Can you name just one of the starting materials for the Haber process?? You're an idiot o, e never pain you reach with that your single digit IQ. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dybala11: Say na lambda, tell me about the mechanism of the reactions involved in the Haworth's synthesis of naphthalene. You think say na idiot like you dey follow you yarn?? You wan use book do shakara to a chemistry graduate. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dybala11: Dude you're still a dingbat. At this stage, the only sensible thing is to help put yourself out of this misery. But then putting you and sense in the same statement is like a taboo, two parallel lines that can never meet. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dybala11: Imaginary Ikoyi father who's richer and smarter than everyone is now in play, audio big man. 😂😂😂
You still prove me right concerning your low IQ. I never for once mentioned schooling in the East, cos I never did that. Below is just a bit of the statement you're struggling to grasp:
"I LIVED in Udi local government Enugu State during my NYSC year".
You claim to be intelligent yet you have problems understanding this simple statement which your low IQ interpreted as "I STUDIED in the East". God forbid this subhuman. Utter waste of space, infact your father is Bill Gates sef. 😂😂😂😂😂
