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?

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?

OgunLaakaye:
If God gives you the grace to avoid women, you are forever blessed and guaranteed of long life in good health.

If you can, please do.

It mostly ends in tears…

Even if one avoids women all his life, he would eventually need to get married to one. Whilst you may have successfully avoided a lot of problems by keeping away, the single one you marry might end up packing all the problems you avoided into your life.

Only God's grace can ensure peace of mind last last.

DubaiLandLord:
What kind of Anti Aircraft Gun is in the possession of the Bandits that can threaten GMB aircraft?

I find it so hard to believe this news.

Except they have a SAM, no anti aircraft gun can take down any of the presidential jets cause of how high they do fly.

Passionate888:
They are in Katsina, what about during landing or take off? I know planes tend to descend gradually

DubaiLandLord:
Soldiers and police are always on ground. They will be monitoring every inch of land close to the Airport.

The Bandits won't just come out of no where to shoot down the president plane while it's descending or ascending

Some anti-aircraft guns have a range of over 30,000ft, which isnt far from the standard cruising altitude of a 737. You'd be surprised at what some of those monster guns can bring down.

Even if the range of the one in bandit possession isnt as much, all they need do is mount it even 50km from the airport, it could easily bring down a descending plane. Soldiers and policemen wouldnt be spread as far a 50km from the airport.

dominique:
Jane mena should have just kept quiet when all this allegations started but she had to dare Tonto who was already in the mud and looking for who to drag in the mud with her. She has learnt the hard way that don't go fighting someone that has absolutely nothing to lose especially if you have a lot to lose.

But...

What if the recording is fake? What if kopkogir (or whatever is mame is) was lying? We're too quick to believe the worst in people that's why a lot of people are not questioning this so-called voice note. Voice recordings are one of the most unreliable pieces of evidence in any case, that's why it is not admissible in any court.

The alleged source of the leaked voice note claims there's also a video. So we better be careful how we publicly doubt the voice note before someone is forced to release videos.

fyneguy:
not in this context. He specifically said God told him the vaccine wouldn't work.

Am I supposed to just swallow a hearsay conjured statement from you? Where's the evidence that he said that?

The evidence you provided says the opposite, but you still insist you heard or read it somewhere? Perhaps in your dream?

mapet:
Stop falsifying statements...Peter Obi resigned Next International 14months after becoming Governor. He's yet to refute it and the evidence is clearly documented.

Why dont you take your so called, well documented evidence to court? Why beat about the bush on social media pulling people down based on conjured allegations?... Social media judge, jury and police!

mapet:
You're just dancing about needlessly not addressing the questions posed to you. We do not make any claim of smarts, rather we only pointed you to simple fact of Peter Obi's infraction. Instead of you to address it pointedly, you're dancing around making useless excuses and comparison.

No you accept you're defending him? What was the self-deluded position that you were not defending him. Pray tell! What integrity are you referring to when the outcome of Pandora Investigation explicitly shows Peter Obi lacks Integrity? Don't tell us stories of what Obi did or refused to do. Simply address the fact that he broke laws in the constitution and CCB codes. He wasn't the only one in the Pandora box, yet he came with watery defense. Gov. Oyetola of Osun state also came out (through his Press Secretary) to defend himself . He did not offer watery defense like Peter Obi. Oyetola stoutly stated that he had resigned the board of the company in question before assuming office as Chief of Staff to Gov. Aregbesola, something Obi cannot claim with Next International UK. That is a defense that can be scrutinized and validated. Peter Obi's defense Nextwise needs no scrutiny, it simply falls flat.

Lol... And the desperate pull-him-down syndrome approaches a more ridiculous dimension. Mr Oyetola said he resigned from the board before taking up a govt position; you believed him! Mr Obi said he resigned from the board the day he was announced governor; you say his own claim is 'watery', that he's a criminal who broke the law? how ridiculous! What's the evidence you have to prove that Obi's claim is false?

By the way, I never mentioned anywhere that I wasn't defending him. I'm definitely defending him from compulsive pull-him-down merchants like yourself, who would stop at nothing to tear him down (probably because of partisan or possibly tribal sentiments). Hate him or love him, but his integrity clearly stands out amongst his peers; there're only a few leaders in Nigeria who can match him in that regard. For a Nigerian politician and an ex-governor, that the only thing you can pin on him is an accusation that he didnt resign as a board director when he assumed office, that already says a lot about him.

You keep desperately repeating the same line that he broke the law and that he lacks integrity, but the man has come out boldly to tell you your accusations against him is watery nonsense! He claims he knows the law very well and is confident he hasn't committed any infractions; he's also boldly challenged you and your likes to take him to any court if you think he's guilty. Oga, social media judge and jury don't take anyone to jail! If all you can come up with is all these non-resignation stuff, or 'resignation by phone' like someone else put it, then you really have to try much harder to convince me that the man is a typical Nigerian politician (crook).

mapet:
You mean his political opponents' action are what determines his contravention or otherwise? Haba! Guy, you're underwhelming here.

What his political opponent does with the information is not my problem. Did Peter Obi break the law or not? Have you been able to address the 3 infractions as submitted by the investigative journalists, which any rational human being can see are clear contravention of the constitution?

Why are you even trying to defend something that is as clear as day? Your moral compass must be that compromised that you want to hide under some excuse to defend what is clearly evidenced by facts.

NGpatriot:
..,..and because they did not capitalise on it, it means he did not break the law.

It's like saying the armed robber is not an armed robber until they are captured.

The extent that you people go to defend rubbish is nauseous and mind-boggling..

@NGPatriot and @Mapet, you guys are both laughable in your desperation here. You believe you're smarter than the entire APC machinery that toiled day and night to dig filth on him, with no success?

When governor in Anambra, the entire state assembly plotted ways to unseat him for refusing to share the cake. Eventually he was impeached for the most silly reason (creating a savings fund without consulting the state assembly). @Mapet, you really think if he didnt resign from the board of a company he's well known for, the entire state assembly wouldn't have picked on that? Funny!

You say I'm defending him? I accept it fully with my chest, YES I AM DEFENDING HIM because in terms of integrity, he stands out several miles apart from your other typical politicians (who some of you even defend blindly).

He wasnt even the only person mentioned in the Pandora papers but so far, he appears to be the only one who's come out on TV to not only boldly confirm the Pandora findings, but also detail how he hasn't broken any law. You really think the man and his lawyers are so dumb to let him go confirm those things on air if they had the slightest worry that he may have broken the law?.... You guys must really think the man is an idiot.

Politicians steal billions and are defended, but the only thing you can cling onto for Mr Obi is that "he didnt resign from the directorship of a company"? This already speaks volumes on his record.

mapet:
He resigned from the board of over 10companies he said, then why did it take him 14 months after he became Governor to resign the directorship of Next International UK? Is that compliance?

Was he ignorant of the law or he was just wilfully cheating the system.

Hatred? Did he break the law or not? You know my “hatred” led him to break the law

If he actually truly broke the law like you desperately claim, you dont think his political opponents would have capitalised on that in 2019?..... I laugh!

mapet:
1. it is illegal to hold a position as directorship of any company and maintain an elective, ministerial and government post - Section 6 CCB Act
2. It is not only illegal but criminal to employ secrecy to hide offshore holdings. Aside from failing to declare, you are evading taxes doing so which is clearly different from permissible tax avoidance
3. When you operate foreign accounts, simply declare and deactivate those accounts while you hold public office or get a trust to operate it and have nothing to do with it till you're out of government. The law (both the consititution and public service code of conduct) clearly states you cannot operate a foreign account

You think the man the man you accuse is such a dumbo not to know these things? He rightly told you in that interview yesterday that he followed all these laws to the letter, so why exactly is this atill an issue?... he mentioned in that interview that he resigned from the board of over 10 companies the very day he was announced governor, so why exactly are you still calling for his neck? Irrational hatred (or probably partisan or tribally infuenced)??

BluntTheApostle:
Tax havens are bad to the economy of a developing country.

And many of you are just shouting double taxation without knowing what it really is, or its benefits.

So in essence, you're agreeing it's more of a 'moral' issue, not necessarily a 'criminal' matter? Who in their right senses would choose to pay higher tax if they had the legal choice to pay less? Because Mr Obi chose an option which reduces his tax burden, he automatically has become the problem of Nigeria's economy?

Like I said before, your argument continues to sound more and more sentimental; it has all the trappings of just a mere dislike for the individual in question.

mapet:
I have no problem with paying less when you have the option, what I have problem with is exploiting the law illegally. When you hide in tax-havens, just make sure you are in no breach of the Nigerian laws.

How is it illegal? Please provide the specific law that says so?

If your claim was that it doesn't portray sufficient level of patriotism (even though that's a watery argument just to disguise the disdain towards the individual),, that would have been a better argument even. Please explain what's illegal about it.

anorexicmuster:
Yes, and at the end of the day, it means the middle and poor classes have to pay more and more in tax while the rich get a free pass.

That's why I am not a fan of offshore companies.

It's the same thing all over the world, exept maybe in communist countries. Everyone would love to pay less taxes than they currently pay. But somehow, only business/company owners have the luxury of choosing what they pay.

BluntTheApostle:
It may not be wrong for the Blairs whose countries are developed.

But it is bad for a developing country like Nigeria.

You claim to love Nigeria, but are one of those contributing to her badly performing economy.

This is to Obi and Oyedepo. Two men who display so much self righteousness, but who are actually not selfless at all, but selfish.

Stop trying to mask your disdain for those men under the guise of some fake hypocritical patriotism. Nobody in the world, no matter how patriotic, would choose to pay double tax all because of patriotism - that would amount to sheer stupidity. Not even you woukd do that even if you had trillions.

For patriotism, they might choose to sponsor developmental projects or charities, but expecting a person to intentionally pay more taxes in their business, that's arrant nonsense.

By the way, what do you mean by saying those men are contributing to Nigeria's bad economy by not paying double taxes? You see why I said your personal disdain for those men is clouding your rationality?

Dino no go kill person eith laugh! Abeg call the oyibo make them bring salad!

DeadCountry:
Today is not an official sit at home day. Stop exposing your stupidity.

But in previous 'unofficial' sit-at-home days, people out of fear, remained in their homes and some who didnt were either harassed, killed and/or had their properties burnt. So what's the stupidity in reporting that people came out yesterday?
