How can a sane human forget this amount of money?... There's certainly more to this.

jaxxy:
Yes Dino is wrong and same as the police. That is my point. This same police has disregarded court orders in favor of Dino and also disregarded invitations by the senate. Who hold the police accountable now? The people who should obey the law are actually the ones behaving like Demi gods.

If the police were credible or professional Dino wouldn’t have to be in hiding or disregard their invitations. Do u uphold the law by disregarding it?

Okay the Nigerian police is indisciplined and it's IG has at some point ignored senate invite, so therefore that is a good justification why Dino should also disregard court and police summons.... Okay, I get your point now. After all, it's a jungle we live in.

jaxxy:
And that’s why the police put up a siege on sm1 who has been coming to the senate ever since the last time he honored their invitation? This makes no sense. The police shud have better things to do than chasing sm1 who’s not running. What a shameful and questionable circus.

Did Dino carry a weapon to fire at anyone? Or they can’t find who shot whoever and start the investigation? While they are it they shud explain why their will illegally stop and search a serving senator convoy.

What exactly are you talking about?... "Not running"?.... Are you aware the same man was summoned by a court but he bluntly refused to show up?... Are you aware the same man was invited by the police for a while now but he bluntly refused to show up?... And here you are, asking me why the police had to go to his house to get him?....What exactly do you mean by "not running"?.... A man who refused to open his doors for over a week?

If he weren't a big man, would the police bother to stand outside and BEG him to open his doors?... wouldn't they have just broken down the doors and tied him with a rope after serious brutalising?.... If he were a common man, would you be here defending his blatant disregard for court and police invitations?...

Could this be typical black man servile mentality where you believe he should be given god-like treatment because he's a senator/big man?... Na wa oh!

aku626:
Can’t really remember what he’s wanted for? Silly police this will only lead to another suite from his lawyers. Why not call an ambulance to stretch him to a nearby hospital/police station

An ambulance for what exactly?... An ambulance for a man who is hale and hearty?... Who in this world doesnt know the man is faking it in his usual theatric style?... If he were an ordinary citizen and not a 'big man', would you still have this same reaction?

jaxxy:
The police think they are disgracing Melaye bt they are disgracing the country, themselves and their paymaster.

Dino is the only one disgracing himself in all this. From refusing to show up when summoned by a court (instead he claimed he was on a tree for 3 days), to jumping out of a moving vehicle because he didnt want to go to Kogi, to sitting on the floor in the middle of the road in protest, and then after much shouting and shouting, he lay down claiming his neck was broken and then eventually appeared in court on a stretcher. Now several months later, he's invited again by the police to continue on the case, but he keeps ignoring police and court invites for months. The police goes to his residence to fetch him, he claims he isnt around, refuses to show up for 8 days and then he finally opens his door and faints.

Like seriouusly?... what sort of childish drama is that coming from an adult who should be a distinguished senator?... And you actually think he is being disgraced?... What would be your opinion if he were a common man?

alsudan:
Some sick souls think this is cool because their supreme Jihadist is the one enforcing it.

If a Senator of the Federal republic is treated in this manner, then what's the hope of the common man?

It's only a pity that there are still Nigerian adults who still cant tell the difference between 'real' and the childish theatrics played by the drama king.

If Dino were to be an ordinary Nigerian citizen, if he wasn't a 'BIG MAN', would there be all these nonsense outcries by these jobless groups?....

What exactly is wrong with a big man honouring a police invitation?.... Is he above the law?

The time has really come for Nigeria to vote neutral candidates who have no direct or indirect links with the old order. But can these neutral candidates really win elections?

madridsta007:
You lost me there when you said, "the reason you hear it more..".

Chief, I lived in Jos and we have a family house near ECWA Guest House, Jos, before I moved to another Northern city.
You aren't speaking to someone who has no stake in the peace of the state.

I do not CARE one bit about politics when it concerns life. At least no politician pays me or can afford to pay me, so I do not care.

Cheers.

When I say the crisis was popularized by politics, I wasn't referring to you; I refer to Nigerians as a whole, especially those who have no direct links with the middle-belt and who hardly every heard of these killings prior to 2015. Sectarian killings by Fulani marauders in Jos and across the middle-belt was very widespread prior to 2015, but a lot of people outside the zone hardly heard of it as it was barely ever reported on the news (people only heard of bokoharam). Post-2015 however, the violence was completely popularized by politics as it became a potent political tool to throw jabs at each other.

Yes! the violence may have increased in recent times especially in Benue state, but based on reports we hear, I doubt it has really increased in the Plateau. It's only just more popular these days for the reason mentioned above. I pulled up some casualty figures from some website on these killings; of course these are just estimates based on available info, but they also give one a rough idea of the general trend. At the end of the day, if cancer is not treated quickly, it festers and becomes worse, and that's exactly what we're grappling with in Nigeria today with these terrorists. My only concern is where some people turn it all to an ApC vs PDP problem, in my opinion, both the PDP and APC have failed woefully in curbing the menace.

toolovely:
i doubt if you are a church goer not to talk of a born again christian. its obvious you are a muslim.

He isn't even a Muslim either... Good Muslims I know dont care about your religion when they want to help you... That guy you quoted is just an anarchist and potential terrorist. By their reasoning ye shall know them!

GoTV:
[s]Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think we Christians have an over bearing attitude and our hypocrisy stinks to high heavens. There are millions of poor Christians in the country yet the priority of Kukah is to convert Almajiris to Christianity under the guise of providing help in order to shade the Muslims in future. How many of we hypocritical Christians can allow our children to be helped by Muslim organizations? Muric is very right on this one. We Christians should set our priorities right and stop heating up the polity. We really need to learn a lot from our Muslim brothers[/s]

This must be one of the proteges of the akintola man...

Oga, a sensible and good Christian or Muslim does not care about the tribe, race or religion of who he helps. If as a Christian, I see very poor homeless people around my house everyday but I ignore them on the excuse that they aren't Christian, that simply means I am no Christian.

For ypu to actually support the trash spewed by the crazy professor, it already speaks volumes of who you are - a confused human!

This thing called MuRIC and it's leader who's even meant to be a prof, every act and statement that comes out of their stables is always shockingly senseless.

madridsta007:
Not at this rate. Not with the persistent rumours of collusion by the military, a collusion that the military themselves have been unable to dispel. Not with the obvious nonchalance of the government. Not with the Army intentionally refusing to go after these Fulani herdsmen terrorists. How many of them have you heard have been arrested?

This isn’t about politics to me. It’s about human life. When human lives are concerned I don’t give a hoot about politics.

Persons like us that lived in Plateau State fully understand and appreciate the difference now. I understand when others, foriengers from the state, are ignorant of the obvious difference.

These killings have always been happening in Plateau right from time and while it might have increased in Benue, I dont believe it increased in Plateau. The only reason you hear about it more now is because since 2015, it became a convenient political topic for argument across party lines. Another reason you hear about it more now is cos of the higher social media presence.

Do you know how many thousands were murdered by herdsmen in the middle belt between 2009 and 2014 to the extent that the fulani herdsmen were ranked No4 on the global terrorist list?... But you never heard a single report of it prior to 2015 primarily because bokoharam was a bigger problem saturating the media then, and also there was no fulani president then to play politics of blame with.

madridsta007:
May their souls rest in perfect peace.

Plateau State indigenes and indeed the Christian minorities in the North need to start rethinking their alliances immediately. Or else, very soon, there would be no man or woman or child standing to do the thinking. How Plataeu State voted for APC is beyond me.

Have these Plateau killings not been happening constantly since the days of OBJ?... Was OBJ APC too?...What kind of self inflicted amnesia did we all develop since 2015?

allthingsgood:
U just sit down in one corner typing silly rubbish. If u say the op is lying, why not postpics of d entire road as u have claimed. Mtscheeeew

Please please please, kindly go back to primary school since it's obvious your brain cant comprehend simple english.

Kaetoh:
Buhari and apc had to wait for 4 good years before re-constructing a road that's so important to Igbos and the rest of Nigeria at large. I would like Yorubas and Hausas to think deeply, I mean those with conscience, if it's good that your dues as humans be withheld from you until the evil hands get tired before sluggishly releasing to you. To all those Igbos supporting Buhari after killing our brothers and sisters who protested against the injustices carried out against Igbos , you will live to reap evil all the days of your lives, you and all your generation . APC the party of herdsmen and murderers .

There is nothing, absolutely nothing the current Nigerian leadership of APC is doing today which the past PDP governments didn't do. So if you or anyone else is by any means, directly or indirectly supporting any of the 2 main parties (i.e. PDP and APC), then you also deserve every single bit of the curses you just laid above.

Politics can be amusing sometimes. A dual carriageway of over 100km; you fix a portion less than 20km on just one of the lanes and then post pictures and videos all over the place to entice. Funny enough, this is the exact same scam played by GEJ/PDP supporters in 2014/2015 to the admiration of fellow Jonathanians. Now we have the opposite camp playing the exact same trick to the chagrin of the same Jonathanians.

Ogaga87:
I don't know what say to you but I hope you don't deviate like Bobrisky..
Being a GAY is not an option, it can never be.. The bastard was emphasizing his anti gay gesture by using capital letters. If he knows that being a gay is right thing to do then he should have soften his emphasis other than coming out as their spoke man..

Oga, because I do not share your animalistic hatred for other humans simply because of their sexual orientation (which they largely didnt choose), that does not automatically mean I'm gay. How do people even come up with such daft conclusions?... So please if you don't have any sensible or sane comment next time, please try not to quote me.

And by the way, the only reason Alex used capital letters to emphasise his point was because he knows there are a lot of dumbass Nigerians whose slow brains would instantly interpret his statement to mean he's gay. You know yourselves.

Nigerians truly have a lot of problems which is centred on hatred for each other. A lot of people terribly antagonise each other, including strangers, without even knowing it. Meanwhile na we go church pass for this world.

By the way, of all the things Alex said in that post, the only thing 90% of Nigerians would see is the gay part. Speaks volumes!

Enemies of Igbos will arrive soon, forgetting that oyedepo, adeboye, TB Joshua, kumuyi, etc has morethan 5 private jets each...

What exactly does this thread have to do with tribe?.... What kind of fvcked uo mentality do some people even have?

ChangeIsCostant:
An ICT lawyer and social media influencer, has narrated what happened after he wore a bathroom slippers to Ikeja City mall in Lagos on Saturday, December 29th.

According to Martin Beck Nworah, he was left shocked after being insulted by a friend to the lady who hosted him at the mall over his unappealing appearance..

Later in the day, the lady who insulted him - reached out and apologized to him after her friend told her who he was.

Read what he shared below on Facebook. 

Yesterday evening, I honoured my friend's request to take me to the cinema. I got to ICM (Ikeja City Mall) before her so I had to wait. About 20 minutes later, she arrived with a female friend of hers. She tried introducing us to each other. "Errmmm...babe, this is Martin Beck Nworah. Beck...this is..."

Her friend couldn't wait for her to finish before she cut in; "Which village did you pick this guy from? Babe you're bigger than this na. How can you be hanging out with a guy who comes to a Mall wearing bathroom slippers."

I was shocked. My friend was shocked. We never expected that. I tried smiling but my cheeks were shaking. LOL. My friend gave her a sharp look and finished the introduction. I was already thinking about my life sef and the insult.

My friend went into Silverbird and the movie we wanted to see was sold out. The next option required an additional 1k to get 3 tickets. She didn't have extra cash and her friend didn't have.

Without asking if I had, she told her friend she had to go back to the house or wait outside. "Babe, you need go back or you can stay outside and wait for us."

Her friend couldn't understand why she would stand her down for a guy wearing bathroom slippers. "Babe, I told you to stay in the house but you insisted on coming out. You will shaa wait outside or you go home." She grumbled, muttered incoherent stuff and told my friend to see her off. I smiled ehhh.

When my friend returned, she snapped this picture. "But Beck, why would you wear a bathroom slippers and come out to ICM of all places? Son of Nebu, what is your wahala?" I laughed real hard. "I'm not regular..."She held my lips. "Nonsense boy."

Her friend later called me in the night with my friend's phone to apologise. She said my friend later explained to her who I was and everything. She was sorry for reacting the way she did.

See more; https://www.nationalhelm.co/2018/12/man-reveals-what-a-lady-did-to-him-after-wearing-bathroom-slippers-to-ikeja-mall.html

Some people can be condescending in a very foolish way; even if the so called friend had issues with the guy's dressing, what sense does it make to say it in front of him?

Anyway, to be honest, the guy no try at all. He actually looks like a danfo bus conductor who escorted a passenger into the mall in search of change... There are better ways to still wear bathroom slippers and still look descent.

kodded:
because he does not have any leadership experience, or do you think ruling a more multi cultural and dynamic country like Nigeria with different religions is the same with owning a news media in USA ?

The old folks with all the leadership experience that have ruled Nigeria since the 80's till date, where exactly has their tons of leadership experience led Nigeria to?

cc: Hundreddegrees

In 2014/2015, instead of campaigning, they were busy chasing after Buhari's WAEC certificate just like flies running after fresh poo.

Now it's 4 years later and no lessons learnt; Nnamdi Kanu from far away Israel has thrown out another fresh faeces (Jubril) for them to feast on, and they are busy gobbling on the poo with much enthusiasm.

fadeoxus:
Hmmm Dangote and Otedola I think are making a mistake........ For a businessman to be perceived to be partisan is dangerous. Let's assume APC looses don't they think PDP can enact just one policy that can cripple their business. They should go and ask what happened to Adenugu's Glo business in Ghana after he supported the incumbent president that lost the then election.
They should just be wise, best if they are silent supporters

For a person like Dangote to ditch his hitherto political neutrality to do this, it means he certainly knows something which most Nigerians don't know yet. I feel sorry for Obi.

namio10:
Osinbajo as VP was another mistake of president Buhari.

Osinbajo does not understand Economy and Politics.

His sharing money in market places is like an armed robber, another blunder.

He doesn't think deep before he speaks.

He doesn't even understand that Nigeria's skewed and lopsided political structure is reason why a Professor or Economist from the south of Nigeria is VP to people like Buhari and Atiku.

Osinbajo is the reason Buhari still has a good number of supporters down south.

How I wish the presidential candidates in 2019 were either Peter Obi or Prof Osinbajo. How exactly can Africa ever move forward when we keep having folks like Buhari and Atiku being the autocratic bosses of talents like the duo above?

Khd95:
We will appreciate some pictures

Sometimes I really feel bad for the personnel of the Nigerian Army. The treatment received by Air Force and Navy personnel is on a totally different level from what the Army gets; walk into an Air force barrack and then into an Army barrack, the difference is like heaven and hell.

Our dear Bob has killed this one's career...

Bros, Bob is now buying sanitary pads but you still dey here dey swim fot bathtub

doctorbabs:
my bother. do you believe in the bible? if yes, Bible should be your guiding book from our Lord as how to woship, praise and leave your life as Christian. whatever you are doing outside the laws. you are not doing the will of God but of yourself.

my brother, is not common sensical to say there was no where or any biblical reference to what you doing.

is either one follow the will of God or Satan. choice is yours

Lol... Sorry to say this but you have a very funny sense of understanding of the bible... The last time I checked, the bible has no record of any one using the internet. So why exactly are you using the internet to type this?... From your explanation above, you've just proved that you're a follower of satan, just like the rest of us (whom you accuse).

The bible is a guidebook, and a guidebook cannot contain every single instruction to the letter. We aren't android robots that are programmed to follow a series of specific commands; God created man with intellects and understanding, and gave us the bible as a guide book.

Someone above mentioned that celebration of Christmas or Christ's birth is unbiblical and wrong because the bible has no record of the disciples celebrating it. I asked a simple question, did the disciples celebrate their own personal birthdays? So I suppose we also shouldn't celebrate our own birthdays today because that would be unbiblical and satanic right?

Meanwhile, if you go to the book of Luke 2:13-14, the bible tells us that the angels and the host of heaven celebrated the birth of Christ. So who am I not to also celbrate it?... and who exactly is the person who is tellling me that I have no right to celebrate Christ's birth?

If your problem is the specific date of the year, if you feel it cant be on the 25th, then please tell me the real date. I and my brethren do not know the exact date Christ was born, so we decided to pick a suitable date being the 25th of December to commemorate the birth of Christ. If there are some people somewhere who also use that same date to celebrate their gods, how exactly is it my business?

A1PHA:
This argument about the origin of Christmas should not be ignored.what many Christians believe is that it's the celebration of the birth of Christ
But there was no evidence that early Christians and apostles celebrated it.
It was made popular by the Romans the have a reputation of paganism and the fact that the date coincides with the day of a pagan god makes it dubious.

When Christ was born, there was a celebration by the angels and the host in heaven (Luke 2:13-14). What does it matter if the disciples didnt celebrate it?... Did the bible record any one of the apostles celebrating their birthdays?... So why do we celebrate now celebrate our birthdays? Must we do only things which the bible records as being done by the disciples?....

This argument will make sense only if you can point out a single scripture in the bible that instructs believers not to celebrate.

doctorbabs:
IS A SIMPLE QUESTION... WAS JESUS BORN ON 25TH OF DECEMBER? IF YES, BIBLICAL REFERENCE PLS

Nibody said Hesus was born on 25th december. Christians have simply CHOSEN that day to commemorate the birth of Christ. What's so complicated in that?

Tomorrow a church can wake up and decide they want to celebrate Christ's birth on 5th of July, how exactly does that change the fact that they are celebraring tje birth of Christ?
