Osibanjo - We don't need a Lilly livered president, who can be controlled or manipulated by the cabals or Tinubu.

Umahi - A traitor , can't be trusted.

Amaechi - Will be better than Buhari, at least.

No one controls a sitting president in Nigeria. An incumbent president towers higher than any godfather.

The say in the council of multitude is wisdom.

I'm keeping it brief, I might pick your advice which can make or Mar me. I work with an establishment. Honestly these days the work ethic is making me depressed.
Come with me,
I pay for my marketing transportation, data and for calls. With a salary only shy above the minimum wage.
Regardless, pressure is mounting up that I'm not giving results. Let's be frank here, marketing operations differs diversely in this country. What works in kaduna, might not work in Lagos.
My peace of mind, is paramount. If you ask me whether I enjoy the working environment I did say no. But that's all a man got for now. Bearing up with the minimum.

These days I can't sleep. I feel like resigning but I'm scared of been tagged a failure. Your advice is needed Nairalanders. Help push to the front page

The organisation you work for is failing you, how does that make you a failure?

Madness dey some girls body because then think say man keep them for house mean say dey go dey forget their manners anyhow.

A lady really annoyed me this morning.
I had gone to the park to board a taxi back home. The guy who was loading for the driver directed me to the taxi that was loading. An elderly guy sat at the front seat while a lady was seated by the door and she was the only one sitting at the back. Note that the drivers take three passengers at the back.
Immediately I saw how the lady sat at the door- her body language- I decided to enter from the other side but another passenger beat me to it plus I was approaching the taxi from her side to I just decided to enter through there.
The lady rather than shift to the middle came out for me to enter without any form of excuse which I found annoying.
I made my displeasure know to her but she just kept mute as if no be human being dey follow talk. I still repeated myself.this lady just start blowing out like burning charcoal, shouting at the top of her voice that "do I think she is a baby for me to treat her like that".

To make matters worse,the passengers and driver were telling me to not retaliate because na women. Na so we go continue to dey tolerate nonsense. Even na guy, I go still tell am wetin he do no correct.

Lol.. Such a weird sense of entiltlement coming from you. Dem write your name for window seat?...

The way you dont like the centre seat is the same way the lady in question doesn't like the centre seat. She came before you and took the preferred window seat; so please give us one good reason why this lady should concede her window seat to you? Motor sef nor be your own! Wonderful!

Very soon policemen and soldiers would fill up those adhoc positions, and we know the eventual result.

kirbby:
forget it from the way this country is structured. If igbos Don't sell no body will, ask yourself how come since the arrest of mnk that triggered the regular lockdowns in SE the Nigerian economy and dollar rate has been dwindling ask yourself again.
what was dollar rate before mnk arrest and with the continuous lockdowns in SE has their been any improvement on dollar rate and economy so far.
If you like keep denying this fact, realty will keep hitting the ground.

Oga the arrest of MNK has absolutely nothing to do with the slide in exchange rate. What kind of delusion is this?

Nigeria...

Mybrotheralso:
I'm not igbo but I feel the FG has somehow hijacked IPOB to wittle down the economic strength of the igbos similar to what was done to them after the biafran war, giving them paltry money irrespective of how much they had in the account.I mean, how do one explain a people would want to lock themselves economically down for a week in this Buhari's economy. Even Nnamdi Kanu's ipob can't do this.

There is more to what is happening in the east, I just feel the east is under economic sabotage, even ipob cancelled Monday sit at home yet street touts and urchins probably sponsored by who knows still enforce it to cause economic sabotage.

The east is under economic attack to make them poorer .

Did you say NK's IPOB can't do this? If you've ever sat down and had an argument with a hardcore IPOB adherent, you'll understand that what's happening currently has absolutely nothing to do with any external infiltration like you assume; it's just a daylight manifestation of a long existing mob ignorance.

You obviously never visited any IPOB online forum to read online comments; if you did, you'd have a good feel of the mentality driving this mess.

WesternOligarch:
Cripple the Lagos and Nigerian economy by obeying the sit at home order, the Niger deltans have oil to threaten the govt by blowing up pipelines, igbos have the economy of Lagos and own 90% of shops in Nigeria and am pretty sure that them boycotting the economy by sitting at home would also help, also boycotting businesses of those that fail to obey the boycott would also help and IPOB can also create a crypto currency as an alternative to the naira for igbos to spend and transact business with amongst themselves....am telling you that the naira would crash and become worthless in days. Obviously it's not going to be easy, but in war there would be casualties.

It's my honest opinion and few may scorn me as some think am against biafra but actually am a big supporter of the biafran state and wish to see it actualizated. God bless biafla.

PS: am not calling for violence, the mods/janitors should quit deleting my threads.

The Igbos controlling the economy aren't the ones shouting IPOB IPOB and pushing for sit-at-home.

PasD:
Remember Mr Spells? You see him everywhere and everyday around ShopRite umuahia bagging and looking so unkept!

His IG account which is close to 60k following has now been used for 'other things' by his management.

Let us call a spade a spade.

USed and dumped? Was he not paid for his services?

Its only a matter of time before the regular Igbo populace will flush out the deadly virus of ignorance called IPOb from the SE.

People are sick and tired of the madness; but cant just speak up for the fear of being mobbed by an illiterate pack. But then, it's only a matter of time before the camel's back breaks.

matm:
Nnamdi Kanu beign a learned man never killed people for refusing to abide by his sit at home ordes in the past,neither did he order for their means of livelihood to be burnt.Whats the essence of forcing people to sit at home for one week? It is impossible for d court to release MNK without trial.It appears d present leadership of ipob are not educated and thus doesn't know how d court works. Sit at home on days' of his trial is enough solidarity.
Even d Nigeria u call zoo provided some palliatives during covid 19 sit at home.What palliative will ipob give to many Igbos who live from hands to mouth for d 1week.
Ipob,u will surely lose people's support if u don't retrace ur steps.

Forced compliance is not solidarity. People only obey those sit-at-home orders out of fear.

Gentlerespect76:
Your sense of perception is quite low; else you wouldn't mention "your problems"! Look as a person I feel pained by the caricature Nigeria has become. Personally, I am succeeding in my life struggles, so my frustrations are not personal at all, grow up and leave your childish ranting.

Childish ranting you say? Low sense of perception?... Lol... I only just pointed out that you sounded like a bitter person, a fact which you rightly confirmed. But then, being bitter isn't a crime, there're many societal anomalies in Nigeria to make one bitter. My only concern is your misplaced aggression; i.e. pouring out invectives on the lady as if she's the cause of the frustrations. What did the lady do to you to elicit such aggression?

PrinceOfLagos:
She has no business flying in our military aircraft

Can they try this nonsense in the US?

...and how do you know for sure that she has no business flying in a military transport aircraft?

I dont know what her mission is, you dont know what her mission is, we also dont know who or what team she's travelling with, but somehow, you're so damn confident she has no business flying in a military plane?

Did someone anywhere tell you a military transport aircraft must carry only military personnel?

You asked of the US, and the answer is YES! If the civilian has a business with the military, the civilian can be cleared to travel in a military aircraft.

In summary, there is no way you or I can conclude the girl stepping into that plane is an anomaly when we have no information on the reason.

Gentlerespect76:
Yeye dey smell; so this is an achievement? Tomorrow after being impregnated by your husband and you come on social media and tell us, it's also an achievement.

Lesson: your Nigeria is going the way of Afghanistan.

So much bitterness in this post... and one begins to wonder whether the girl in the post is responsible for your problems.

y3mi:
Your comment is the best and most sensible response to a thread I've read on Nairaland since last year. May I ask if you still believe in the continuation of Nigeria, as a colonial structure, in spite of the inpugnity ?

Permit me to jump in on your question... The issues plaguing Nigeria in my opinion arent exactly restricted to any particular tribe, ethnicity or region. The problems spread across all geographical locations - the corrupton, the abuse of power, the impunity etc. So permit me to ask, why do most people keep proferring a dissolution or balkanisation of the country as the holy grail solution to the myriad of problems facing the nation?

There's something definitely fishy about this short sensational report. If only Nigerians had the capacity to ask relevant questions, stories like this may never see the light of the day.

Who is the lady in the video?
Where's she off to? Who's she travelling with?
Who are the others in the plane?
This is an airforce plane,not a presidential plane as several persons on this thread seem to assume).

Without answers to some of these questions (and more), how am I meant to just believe the girl in the video is just a mere girlfriend to a 'bigman' flying away for frivoloties?

franxalive:
...
OH MY GOODNESS ✌️� ... I DIDN'T KNOW WE STILL HAVE SOME SENSIBLE PEOPLE AS YOU ARE IN THIS COUNTRY ...LEAVE THAT FACT CHECKER...HE IS THE MINISTER OF FACTS IN THE ZOO. HE IS TRYING TO SAY THAT HE IS PROUD OF A FELLOW OF SUCH HIGH CADRE OF DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT SINCE 2011 IN SERVICE... DOESN'T KNOW HIS LEFT FROM RIGHT ?... SHAME!!!

The way some people comprehend and interpret things in this country sometimes can be quite shocking.... How did you come to the bizarre conclusion that the OP (fact checker) is proud of that Customs officer?

A false story is being peddled about, a journalist does a fact check and dismisses the story as false. From just a visual check, both men in both pictures dont even look anywhere alike. Instead of being angry with the person spreading the falsehood, you (and several others on this thread) rather seem to be angry with the person who pointed out the story is false. Is that how much we love falsehood in this country?

History555:
My father is not as useless as yours

What exaxtly is my business with the Customs or with the name of the Customs officer for you to be directing such stupid question at me?... For you to approach a stranger with such a stupid question, you make your foolishness seem genetic. That's why I dismissed you to go ask your stupid question elsewhere.

LLiKYekoba:
You this hopeless zombie, so you've not repented after all the facts slammed on your head?

Guy, stop confusing me with your father...

By the way, what exactly is this fact you so confidently talk of?... That the bandit in the picture on the left is the same person in Customs uniform on the right? That's the foolish logic you're trying to force down the throats of sensible Nigerians? And for not believing that trash, that is what makes me a hopeless zombie?

The way some of you display stupidity so confidently in public is quite nauseating. Go and heal yourself of your madness before it completely ruins what's left of your brain cells. That the current govt is messing up is not an excuse or justification for adults to be acting like morons.

History555:
So what is the name of the officer

Why dont you go and ask your father?

With the resources at their disposal, one just wonders why the Dss cant go after the idiots generating and spreading these fake stories; just imagine the fellow on twitter even with a suit. All the Dss kniws to do is arrest and persecute innocent Nigerians.

Too much ignorance in one single thread! *spits and walks away*

Ammishaddai:
BMCs are the ones supporting your own stupid narrative. And if you're angry about the likes I'm getting through my comment , then kindly report to Oga Seun to remove it. Moròn

Wow! Likes? you mean the endorsement you get from fools is the reason behind your foolish stance? Have you even wondered why the people liking your comments haven't bothered to drop any comment on this thread to support you? They're happy to have you fool yourself alone while they nudge you from the shadows.

THen did you say BMC? You're pained that soldiers killed bokoharam terrorists, people called you out in disgust and all your brain could process from that is that "they are BMC"? Your degenerated mental condition is even far worse than I imagined. Tufia!

Ammishaddai:
[s][/s] I can see you're working hard at being stupid . So this recorded bullshit that the military is peddling is now is your interpretation of a win against the terror plaguing Nigerians abi ? Oga ,people like you are the reasons why nothing in Nigeria works which is why God will continue punishing you and your descendants

Bandits attacking different parts of Nigeria is not a reason why you should be so angry that soldiers killed BH terrrorists in Borno; how exactly is this your stance even logical to you?

Like I said before in my last post, and like several folks in this thread have clearly pointed out to you, you are a sick blood sucking terrorist sympathising beast who is pained that the army killed some of your marauding comrades. God pass all of una! *spits*

Ammishaddai:
You're being more stupid than necessary. Where was this same military when large groups of bandits attacked Gonoyo in Sokoto? Are you aware that the incompetence of the military has now forced civilians in Zamfara, Niger and Sokoto to start bearing arms ? With 3500 ,you can buy arms now in such places , so should we be thanking the military ? Mumu

You are a very stupid he-goat. What has bandits attacking sokoto got to do with you being so openly displeased about the terrorists being killed in this report? What's the link between both?

You're obviously a sick blood sucking terrorist sympathising beast who is pained that the army killed some terrorists... Quit trying to justify your deplorable mindset with the lame excuse that there're bandits in Zamfara.

crafteck:
Action of one is being made a standard for all? I have nothing to talk to your papa about, WHAT HAVE YOU ACHIEVED FOR YOURSELF?

That goat you quoted has been trying so hard to justify his hatred for Nigeria and his sympathy for the terrorists. He feels deeply pained seeing terrorists being killed; he would have felt much better if the tables were turned and the bodies were bodies of soldiers. Really disturbing how people developed this sort of vampiric mindset (all because of some regional politics).

Ammishaddai:
[s][/s]Call a spade a spade and stop this illogical way of defending a government that hasn't done jack about the insecurity plaguing the nation

Yes insecurity plagues the nation, every idiot knows that. But it's pure idiocy to come up and say bokoharam has killed more Nigerian soldiers than the soldiers have killed them... What that fellow said to you has nothing to do with defending govt, rather its just about defending common sense which your comment seemed to lack.

KiNg0G:
how donor won take fear.

Omo this one off me!

Covidodo:
You are actually dumber than I thought.
The reason why they paid the ransom to get back the anti aircraft gun was because of the possible threat it would pose to Buhari's helicopter while flying to Daura .

In your statement that I quoted earlier, you ignorantly thought the report was talking about the presidential jet .

FYI, those guns can also take down the presidential jet VERY EASILY!

Grupo:
The guy you quoted is a BMC bandit.

He's only defending his fellow bandits.

First, there's no airport in Buhari's hometown of Daura.

The article clearly stated he'd be traveling to his home town, not Katsina.

So to get from Katsina to Daura, he'd have to use a helicopter. Which those anti aircraft weapons can definitely bring down.

The guns can also bring down passenger planes and even fighter jets too.

DubaiLandLord:
There is something called AWACS.

AWACs will pick up the guntrucks before it will have the chance to engage a presidential jet.

Hmmm... this AWACS you talk of, I'm not sure I know what it is. But from a quick google search, I discovered the AWACS is a kind of massive surveillance aircraft with a powerful infrared radar system capable of picking up 'low flying' threats (not exactly ground threats). Correct me if this is wrong?

If I'm right about the AWACS, then all I can ask is ARE YOU JOKING? Are you really being serious or just taking a piss by assuming Nigeria has such capabilities?

DubaiLandLord:
And you think security personnel won't be monitoring areas close and far from the Airport the presidential jet will be landing?

For up to 50 km? Planes tend to start descending from even nore than 100km away. How many security personnel can possibly be deployed?
