This one too has just been turned to a 'we vs. them' ethnic issue.

Photoshopping gone wrong , pathetic people.

The picture wasn't photoshopped, there's actually a video of the event showing the moist agbada. But jumping to a conclusion that it's urine is just silly.

JohnSin97:
Nobody can tell me that this guy isn't guilty.... everything stacks up.

Night Club Owner: Perfect means of laundering money.

Spends money on lavish stuff like someone who never worked for money: another red flag of a money launderer.

Constantly tries to sell everyone on his BS underdog story: "I achieved everything through hardwork and perseverance" trope. That's what evans the kidnapper said before he was caught.

I can be my left ballsack that obi cubana is kyari's laundry man.

In the true sense, Obi Cubana doesnt actually spend money on lavish stuff like you claim; at least not publicly. If in doubt, can you please provide a single example of him spending lavishly?

His mum's funeral was a standard funeral in the east; only difference was that his friends came from far and wide to throw money about. In my opinion, its actually the people around him who spend money, not Obi himself.

This is confusing? What's she crying for? Dem use you take make money and you still dey alive, so why the tears? She should lay claim to the wealth that follows, afterall, na her destiny dey produce the bar.

When EFCC gbab this one now, e go begin shout #EndEFCC; him family sef go begin swear for buhari. Useless youth!

There's no need for unnecessary conjectures when an official statement to such effect has put all doubts to bed. If we start to eliminate potential causes to arrive at the most likely cause, nothing would have come the closest than a technical fault.

..and technical fault automatically means 'manufacturer error' right?

PressMyButton:
There's little to no excuse we can make for a technical fault. It's largely due to the manufacturer's negligence. An armoured vehicle should not easily get crashed on a smooth road, especially when no projectile was launched towards it.

Of course, you were obviously there at the spot when it happened and have concluded thorough investigations from behind your keyboard to know that it was a manufacturing fault that led to the crash?

You know the exact state of the road where it happened, you know the exact state of the driver and you're also 100% sure the accident had nothing to do with human error. Heck! You also know too well that "no projectile was launched towards the vehicle" and you're 100% sure there wasnt any obstruction on the road, e.g. other moving vehicles or pedestrians, that may have caused the driver to lose control.

Lest I forget, with your paranormal vision and insight, you're also sure the vehicle was serviced and maintained excellently by the army. You know all of the above too well from the back of your keyboard and that explains why you're 100% sure the accident was caused by manufacturer fault right?... Kudos to you! the Chief Director of the Accident Investigation Bureau (keyboard division).... Typical black man!

Innoson MRAPs have proven to be made up of substandard quality, failing to meet up the expectations at the war front. The defective components of the vehicles have resulted in claiming several lives of our soldiers. It's been observed that the vehicles consistently develop catastrophic malfunction at the most critical moments at the war front.
A few years ago, some innoson MRAPs deployed at the war front against bokoharam were stuck in the terrain in the middle of the road. This made bokoharam swept in on them and killed many on the spot.
Yesterday, it was reported by the Army spokesperson that the vehicles convening the Army to Ihiala on a mission to smoke out ipob terrorists developed a "technical fault" , resulting in the death of five soldiers.
Since the FG contracted Innoson for the supplies of military vehicles, it has been one mishap too many. We are losing the lives of our gallant soldiers to these units of China-made substandard vehicles.
It is my hope that the FG would discontinue the use of these vehicles for a far better battle-proof, quality assured MRAPs that guarantee the safety of the lives of our gallant soldiers.

This has to be the most stupid write up I've come across in a long while. So apparently, foreign produced cars dont get involved in accidents again? Or probably, people dont die in accidents if the vehicle involved is foreign made? Black man and nonsense reasoning!

InTheCloudySky:
You don't need any advice. You did the right thing. Kudos.

Op already knows he did the right thing. But with the temptation being hot now, the actual advice he's seeking here is for someone to tell him to hit it. He's looking for a justification to yield.

optimusprime2:
The very process of wine making in the early times would 10000% make it an alcoholic beverage, due to the fermentation that is kickstarted during the press.

Please research how wine is made now and then.

https://www.liquor.com/best-non-alcoholic-wines-5088704#:~:text=How%20is%20non%2Dalcoholic%20wine,osmosis%20being%20the%20most%20popular

Unless it is fruit juice, Non Alcoholic wines these days are possible due to advanced wine press systems, that are capable of using reverse Osmosis or vacuum distillery to extract the alcohol.

In otherwords non Alcoholic wine was NOT possible to make until recently when the distillery technology/technique became available.

So I can boldly tell you there was nothing like Non Alcoholic wine in the time of Jesus. All wines were Alcoholic!

Up till today, there is no such thing as non-alcoholic wine; that'sjust a paradox. If it doesnt have alcohol, it is not wine, and cannot be called wine. What most Nigerians call non-alcoholic wine is just sparkling fruit juices, e.g. Capel, Eva.

headSmasher:
Why would it be medicinal when your lord the god of Igbo Catholics, the pope claimed that gays and lesbians are children of God, that God loves them., Catholics and heretic adjuration

God created everyone, and loves everyone. Whether sinner or saint, gay or lesbian or w.hatever.

AntiChristian:
Of cos. Non-alcoholic wine is produced with sophisticated technology not available back then. What Jesus gave them was a high quality of what they are used to.

There is no such thing as non-alcoholic wine. If it's called wine, then it has some alcohol in it. The simple definition of wine is 'a fermented drink'. Any fermented drink must have alcohol in it, and if it doesnt, then it is not a 'fermented drink' and therefore cannot be called 'wine'.

The statement 'non-alcoholic WINE' is just an ignorant paradox.

cc: jesusjnr2020

jesusjnr2020:
All wines are alcoholic right?

Sheer ignorance.

Lol... Ignorance is accusing another of being ignorant.

Wine = A fermented drink = Alcoholic
Wine never had a different definition; if it hasnt got alcohol, it cannot be 'wine'.

Tagging a drink as non-alcoholic wine is just as ridiculous a saying 'alcoholic drink without alcohol'.

TheRareGem1:
So you think this isn't true but pandora paper that is well detailed..what should we call that's.... If if can hid money via tax heaven, he can easily do this.

Last last, all these are just pointless smear campaigns against the man Obi. In the next few months, plenty more concoctions will come from whatever dustbin this trash came from. Pulling people down with fake stories, fake news and fake propaganda isnt a new thing in political arenas all over the world. Only unfortunate thing here is that instead of Obi supporters to vehimently defend and sell his candidacy sensibly, the majority of them will rather choose to play the tribal card, playing the victim mentality and claiming Obi is being attacked 'because he is Igbo'; such a disgusting way to play politics.

Obi will not be the first to face smear campaigns; even a spotless Osinbajo faced similar attacks prior to the 2015 election with the AIT documentary accusing his firm of conniving with Pfizer to kill children. Osinbajo still faces similar nonsensical smear attacks today and will face more in the coming months.

Even the Pandora trash which some of you cling onto as your only tangible smear tool against Obi, that in itself is arrant nonsense. He put his money in a tax heaven and so? The emphasis is on the phrase 'his money'; if I'm an international businessman who is open to an option of reducing the incessant taxes I pay on my investments, I will also take that option just like Obi did. The tax heaven accusation against Obi is just a lame smear campaign (haters just grasping onto straws); it's his money and it's not a crime.

ntipro:
Nairaland is fully an anti-Igbo platform



Know this and know peace



Sick people everywhere

How exactly is a political post against PDP's Peter Obi, an attack against Igbos? Must everything be about tribe? Is Obi a human representation of the Igbo tribe? How does an attack against Obi equate to an attack against Igbos? Is Umahi not even a candidate in this election too? Make some of una try to dey get small sense and stop tribalising and turning everything into victim mentality.

I've never for once seen any Yoruba person on this forum claim that an attack against Tinubu is an attack on Yorubas. Tinubu is an idividual politician and should carry his cross; likewise Obi and everyone else.

That sickness you talk about in your last sentence, you will be shocked to find out who really is suffering from a psychological sickness.

ivolt:
She has the right to host anybody she likes.
If you don't like it, kindly unfollow her.

But the same Rinu unleashed ballistic missiles on Taaoma when Taoma was hosted by Osinbajo; calling Taaoma all sorts of names till the poor girl had to publicly apologise (for daring to meet with a politician). If you don't see the double standard in this, then you have a serious problem.

einsteine:
How is that tweet racist?

A lot of people suffer from extremely low self esteem. Such people would view anything as racial slurs.

Reno and his divisive online manipulation of light brained people. This time the game is to knock the heads of Igbos.

2 seconds ago, Reno was knocking the head of Okorocha. 2 seconds later, Okorocha is charged by efcc, the same Reno man comes out to knock buhari for the efcc charges.

heykims:
It is because of the negative mindsets of Nigerians that always breeds conspiracy theories.
Now polio that was initially declared eradicated in Nigeria has been resurfaced in the north thanks to people like the op and ignorant parents.
If I were in authority, I wouldnt hesitate to order closing down ur school. Nigeria is probably the only country in the world now that has cases of wild polio if truly it was confirmed in the North.

What's all these nonsense going on in this tbread with people supporting the barbaric behaviour of the so called health worker? What did the OP or school owner do or say wrong by insisting that parental consent be sought first?

So because Nigeria has cases of wild polio, then that means any stranger that walks into a school compound claiming to be a health worker should be permitted to forcefully inject people's kids with 'God knows what' without the consent of parents?

Try and inject my child without my consent first! I'll make sure you the health worker, the school owner and even the teachers in that school would languish in prison; and yeah of course, I'll make sure I burn down or close down the school myself. Nonsense!

IGBOSON1:
You have to be Igbo...and one with a sense of history, to be able to appreciate the level of Igbophobia, Igbo-hate and anti-Igbo policies that have been commonplace (especially amongst the Fulani, some Yoruba and some Ijaw) in Nigeria from the 50s to date! These negative sentiments towards Igbos’ have manifested in many ways: from Aguiyi Ironsi being the last Head of State of Igbo extraction since the late 60s to date; to areas of Igboland blessed with the highest concentration of hydrocarbons being removed with surgical precision and placed in Rivers State for Ijaws and Igbo-deniers to guard for the ruling hegemony and their southern 2nd in command; to little or no nation building institutions being located in Igboland, while just two towns in the core north (Kaduna and Zaria) have more than the entire south-east states combined; to the south-east playing 2nd class to the south-west and north-west in the provision of federally-enabled infrastructure like railways, dams, refineries, int’l airports and int’l airport terminals; to Nigeria handing over its premier and major commercial and industrial centre (Lagos) to just one ethnicity to administer; to no Igbo having been FCT minister since its creation (presently, the minister and minister of state of the FCT are both from the core north...probably both Fulani); to no Igbo being Chief of Army Staff since the late 60s, until the coming of GEJ; to no seaport in the south-east since this country got ‘independence’ even though it’s easier to accomplish than building the Suez and Panama canals; to less attention and investment given to the seaports in the eastern part of the country while Lagos got more than its fair share; to Buhari treating Igbos (a supposed 3rd leg of the tripod on which Nigeria stands) like shit; jeez....i could go on and on, but i trust you’ve got the picture!

Only a insensitive, Igbo-hating bigot would say Igbos have no justification for thinking UNN was denied a Chemical Department because of the civil war....esp’ after seeing the level of hate, envy and wickedness we’re up against in Nigeria!

I am an igbo person myself and I grew up soaked in all these theories too. But I grew up and chose to free myself from that mental slavery a long time ago. Yes there's a level of Igbophobia across the nation for different reasons; but likewise there's also a more than proportionate victimhood mentality paranoia which breeds bizarre theories like this very one about UNN and chemical engineering.

There're several federal and even state universities and polytechnics across the SE which offer chemical engineering as a course. But somehow, you and your friend Vita want me to believe UNN doesnt offer chemical engineering because Fulanis and some Yorubas conspired against Igbos cos they dont want Igbos to learn how to make bombs, so therefore they ensured UNN doesnt have Chem Eng till date? Like seriously, these sort of theories are nauseating and its just embarrassing.

IGBOSON1:
NO HE WILL NOT!

How dare you tell someone expressing hurt, that he should keep quiet just because you don’t wanna here him ‘complain’!? Point out the fallacy in his post!

Can you pause for a second, put all sentiments and emotions aside, and re-read what that fellow wrote - That some mythical enemies apparently from other big Nigerian tribes, ganged up against Igbos and stopped UNN from offering Chemical engineering for over 50 years because someone produced bombs there 55 years ago... Do you also agree with that theory? Does it truly make rational sense to you?

Despite the animosity the South has against APC, Osinbajo is the one candidate who can turn the tide and pull votes from the SS and even the SE for APC.

mrvitalis:
U have not done business before trust me ..power has nothing to do with business...runing diesel engine is way cheaper than NEPA

With the ban in BDC and Forex trading how many times have police raided aboki still selling dollers ? Would it be the same if it was Igbo dominated business ?

Use and Hausa name to import a goods and use and Igbo name to import the same goods then tell me if u would pay same clearing fee

Try to import through northern border and then try same goods in southern border tell me the difference

Go to bank of industrial with and Igbo name then go to same bank with Hausa name then come back ..same with nafdac ,son ,

Carry goods to the east as an Hausa man then do same as an Igbo man

Come back then let's talk

None functioning of eastern ports is what

All the road federal linking ABA to south south cites are bad ...

I can go on and on

You know so much about business yet also claim diesel is WAY cheaper than NEPA? With this sort of opening argument, is it really worth going beyond the opening sentences of what you just wrote? Obviously NO!

But permit me to restate my point, every bottleneck faced by an Igbo man is also faced by all others across Nigeria.

mrvitalis:
Are u Igbo ? Have u done business in Nigeria before ?

There were laws in favour of Kia assembly plant , peguert , and NTM which innoson took advantage of

See what's happening in crypto ? Because Igbos started and dominate that industry

We go through hell reason why Biafra sentiment is high u won't understand

Change your name to emeka okafor ..do business in Nigeria max 3 years u would understand what we Igbos pass through

From custom , to Firs , to police to army to bank of Industry ..

Nigeria generally is a very difficult place to do business for any and everyone, both locals and foreigners. The problems stifling businesses are not restricted to any tribe or ethnicity - Poor power supply, dilapidated transportation infrastructure, insecurity, frustrating government bureaucracies/inefficiencies fuelled primarily by corruption etc. These things militate against the smooth running of businesses across Nigeria as a whole and they affect just about everyone. Why do you (and several others) always keep isolating it as an 'Igbo issue' as though there are only Igbos in the Nigerian business sphere? This is a pure example of the self-centred attitude that makes other Nigerians resent Igbos.

JosephXavier:
A refinery should be cited in Anambra

Orient refinery has the ability to build a 200,000 refinery if Federal government can give it the certificate

Which certificate?

Idiko1:
With all these accolades, a person wonders how this dude is a member of the government which saw the worst human right abuse in the history of shithole called Nigeria. The pride of education is the good use in preservation of mankind.

I guess the best solutuon would have been for him to resign so all govt offices would rightfully be occupied by thieves, fraudsters, hooligans, human right abusers and degenerates?

We don hear this thing tire before election.

Yeah but wetin concern private refinery and electuon?

wirinet:
We are not talking of aesthetics, we are talking about standards and quality. Nigerian bridges and roads are of a lower standard than other developed countries.
I had a relation who worked for a UN agency that carried out a survey of Nigerian roads. He told me that all Nigerian fell short of international standards, including the ones build by Julius Berger. He said the concrete strength and thickness of the roads always comes short of the actual design and traffic specifications.

My main concern is actually the refereence to the Chinese built structures. Several people just have this opinion that the Chinese projects in Nigeria are substandard compared to the JB handled projects. I'm just curious to know the basis for this conclusion. Are there any tangible examples to prove this? Or is this just a result of a long standing but redundant stereotype (i.e. Chinese = poor quality)?

wirinet:
The problem is not the Chinese, it's the Nigerians who contract the Chinese. The Chinese has a policy of giving you the standard you are willing to pay. When you order ordinary consumer items from China, they will give you various prices of various quality of the same product. Physically you would not be able to tell the difference between different standards. Even with drugs you will be asked to specify how much active ingredients you want in the drugs depending on the price you are ready to pay. That's the Chinese model of business.

First of all, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the bridge posted by the OP, both quality wise and even aesthetically. Of course it isnt as big as the other one he tried to compare it with; both bridges are different and serve different purposes, so the comparison in itself is pointless.

Then this recurring talk in this thread about Chinese building substandard projects, please can anyone in here kindly point out examples of the substandard construction projects the Chinese have executed in Nigeria?

God1000:
Chinese engineers have built amazing infrastructure across China with their expertise, but what baffles me is the crummies they often construct for us in Nigeria, you won't see such in their homeland.

Who do we blame here? Maybe our leaders because it's the amount of money they award some of these projects and they will still embezzle part of it.

What is wrong with that Nigerian bridge?... I'm totally lost here... In terms or quality, there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with that Nigerian bridge. Even in terms of aesthetics, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the bridge itself; maybe you might make a case for the dilapidated dwellings surrounding the flyover but what exactly is wrong with the bridge itself?

How exactly do ypu compare apples and bananas?... The 2 bridges are very different, and meant to serve different purposes.

And lastly, was that Nigerian bridge actually even built by the Chinese? What bridge is that?

dasparrow:
I remember way back when Julius Berger, a german construction company used to build all our roads and bridges. They did an excellent job. But now, our leaders bring in these chinese to come and do our construction and you see the result. If I were president of Nigeria, I will not give one single contract to the chinese. They can't be trusted.

Where exactly is this even coming from?... Which bad or substandard projects have the chinese built for us so far?... Several people on this thread have been saying this same thing, probably just based on a redundant stereotype assumption of 'Chinese = poor quality'.

Firstly, from the pictures, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that Nigerian bridge both quality wise and in aesthetics. Shanty-like dwellings around a bridge doesnt mean a bridge is poor quality.

Meanwhile the flyover the OP posted, was it really even built by the chinese? What's the name of the bridge?
