Whatever is the reason. This is pure extortion and you know it.
FYI, in a well organized setting, public transport is supposed to have designated loading points not the type you're talking about.

Caaz:
It only happens when they pick up passengers in a designated park.
But when they re running on the freeway,they hardly experience svch.


Thanks for making the rider smiled.

Yesterday, my mechanic took my car to his workshop for regular servicing and my wife have been showing some bitchy attitude whenever I use her car ( bought with my own money) but that's not the story.
I decided to use public transport instead of the usual bolt ride for my day's movement for the first time since 2012.
I discovered a worrysome trend at the Keke terminal or whatever it is called.
The middle aged Keke man loaded four passengers for #150 each which totals #600.
But to my surprise, he paid the union #150, another #100 to the areas boys and #50 park ticket.
Mind you what they're calling park is just a road side bustop built for the public.
I got alarmed when this same Keke man paid another #100 to a police checkpoint just 100m away from the bustop.
What it means is that this struggling Keke man have paid 67% of the money his passengers paid to touts and police. He haven't bought fuel yet, and the Keke need maintainance. What a world ! What a wickedness! What a country!
I never knew all this nonsense has been going on and everybody is complaining of hardship. Nigerians are truly the problem of Nigeria not the leaders.

Anyway, out of pity I hired the Keke man for the rest of all my daily movements and paid him hugely at the end.

Lol! It's not as if I'm bed ridden bro, it's just that I'm a health conscious individual.
I spend heavily on medical diagnosis and check up cos of my family medical history .
Most Nigerians are walking dead, they only remember hospital when disease strikes

princemillla:
My brother all is well with you

I normally stick to doctors advice when I attend events.
During Xmas season,, I had a lot of appearances to many invited events.
I attended 7 events on 31st Dec alone.

I felt like ignoring my doctor's advice for the one week alone. Flexing costly foreign drinks offered in all the events.

As I'm typing now, I have a
3days appointment with my doctor for ignoring his advice for just one week.

Now imagine celebrities appearing on major shows almost on a weekly basis year on year with exposure to different drinks and cocktails.

Note: I didn't disclose my medical history for sake of privacy

I don't actually believe the authenticity of the alleged leaked audio call involving Ganduje however,
If it's actually true that Ganduje was not informed of the Paris meeting then Wike have a lot to worry for .
He (Wike) will be thrown under the bus by Tinubu's cabal to pacify Atiku in a bid to validate the incoming Presidency.
The upcoming political episode will be interesting

Sometimes you children need to sit down and listen to elders before making controversial comments .
That's how uninformed young Nigerians returned a dictator as President despite the warnings of us that saw his rule.

I was in Awka live when the then military governor handed over to Mbadinuju so I can tell you the state of Anambra politics.

Peter OBI remains the best governor Anambra and South East have ever produced since 1999.
As far as am concerned, Peter OBI is a one term governor because his first term was full of frustration and distractions from opposing camps that wants the old order to remain.
Peter OBI fought for the liberation of Anambra state all through his first tenure and still achieved so much in his second tenure.
He built consolidated development template for Anambra state which Obiano used throughout his tenure and even the talkative Soludo is using.
Stop all this childish comparisons

pquaver:


History will remember obiano .. Till date he is anambra best governor since 1999.. Hate him or love him

Africa my Africa
black man celebrating a Presidential car imported from another country.
Next level hunger will soon resume
Like I promised during the election, the era of helping Nigerians have come and gone.
To me now is me and family only.

Peter OBI is not called Okwute (stone) for nothing.
You should be more worried when he is silent.
Many Nigerians don't seem to know him.
I like what is happening anyway.
It will teach politicians a lesson.
I guess Tinubu is beginning to know who Peter OBI is from the technical knockout he suffered in Lagos with an unknown party.
Fighting OBI is the greatest mistake any politician can make

Seun take down this post.
This is 2019 picture of Peter OBI.
Let's not heat up an already tensed situation

Port Harcourt is locked down for OBi.
Any agbado urchin that loose guide and misguide will wake up in Bundu waterside

My brother sometimes I feel like proposing that passing senior secondary school exam (WAEC and NECO) should be minimum requirement for voting.
People that don't even know why they are voting are many in this country.
One of the downsides of democracy in a third world country

Hellonearth:
Are this ones human?
Just say some animals standing to vote.
U no s we blind people,cripple. What do they know about economy?
After one of them will come and say I should dash him money.

God will punish any idiot to ask me money from next week

OBI is winning this election. The only concern is the Senatorial and HOR candidates.
Though I know LP will form an alliance with PDP in the Senate to form the majority

So many fake news on nairaland frontpage

Wike is making poor decisions out of desperation. Dunno who is advising him

They would have even calmed down and sue INEC after the election.
The Senatorial and HOR election will simply be cancelled and a rerun ordered.
By then the party can use their influence of having the President elect on the polls.
It's called politics 101

Thank you our incoming President H.E Peter OBI for making this 2023 election worthwhile.
I wonder how the mood of this election will be if we are left to choose between Atiku and Tinubu?
I would have been dusting my passport for assylum to Gambia instead of dusting my PVC

See the urchins above are wailing.
Handkerchief sellers will blow on Saturday.
Enough tears to wipe

This is exactly my thoughts.
Wike projected that Buhari will use incumbency power to rig in Tinubu, unfortunately it backfired.
Buhari disappointed them at the last minute.

How I wish Buhari can agree to collect his remaining salary and allowance and hand over to the newly elected President in March .
May seems too far

Kogi governor cannot be sued because of his legal immunity.
The moment you join him to any suit sorry, you have automatically lost the case

Theoarhics:
Which one be kogi govt instead of kogi governor. Are they scared to call Yahaua Bello's name as the accused?

Are you aware Buhari won 2019 ANAP poll?
Just give up already. I just emerged from an inner caucus meeting of that political party you're supporting in my LGA.
They were busy sanctioning every Tom Dick and Harry on anti-party not knowing that the Chairman himself (whose secret I know) is against one religion ticket.
This election is already won by that person your mind is telling you

dustmalik:
You still don't get it, do you? Any online poll you conduct today, Obi will always win, no matter whose timeline you conduct it.

If you recall correctly, in 2019, Buhari lost all polls, online and offline. In fact, when Buhari was pit against a Stone, the stone won with landslide.

Come Saturday, when votes start to trickle in from all over the country, reality is going to set in.

I expect to be insulted, as is now usual.

As a grassroot Nigerian politician, my greatest doubt about OBI's Presidency was the powerful Igbophobic media propaganda of the West on Peter OBI.
Without doubt, the West is very powerful in media propaganda (ask Jonathan) and the Igbophobic one is an easy sell considering the level of ignorance in Nigeria.
I don't know how OBi did it but to my greatest shock, He won the Igbophobic propaganda war . I truly respect his highly celebral campaign team and most importantly Ahmed Datti that broke all the Igbophobic chains they tied OBi with in the North.

The moment it became clear to me that OBi have won the Igbophobic propaganda war, that was when I knew He is the next President.
As far as I'm concerned, OBi won 2023 Presidential election in December 2022

Just confirmed. Things are becoming so unpredictable this days

Salvador1:
so I no see dailytrust there.

Salvador1:
I just find out that all those CPs deployed to state has been suspended.
So Frank MBA is still lagos cp for this coming election.

I'm talking of an 18 year old second year Sydney university undergraduate here.
She made this observation just within one month of using the forum.
We have 30 and above youths here misbehaving and playing Igbo vs Yoruba and Muslim vs Christian politics in a forum accessed by foreigners.
Just type news in Nigeria with another countries IP address and nairaland will be among the first five links that will pop up.

Baddosqqi:


That is the truth.. You are interacting with a learner Person. And I retreate that the headline was misleading, I needed not to go through the write ups because the headline poised a treat and it pissed me off. So if you're angry, you need to first get angry with whomsoever taught he has created a catchy headline, which was strong enough to make anyone who Understands the tread on Nairaland to get infuriated! That's the gospel truth!

I'm not even happy with all this revelations.
I wanted the defeat to come to them as a shock, the more painful the sweeter for us

I'm seriously mad at nairalanders, the embarrassment is getting too much.
Just yesterday, I was chatting up a friend from Australia who is currently understudying politics in Africa and I personally introduced her to nairaland as an eye witness forum for Nigeria's political discussion.
Do you know what she told me when I asked of her experience? She said the forum users (nairalanders) are easily manipulated to react to fake news without verifying.
Even she takes her time to verify every political news.
I haven't been this embarrassed since she told me that. We are just messing up our image in a forum that can be assessed by anybody in any part of the world and heaping all the blames on Yahoo boys

I will create a thread on this

Baddosqqi:


Talking about academics, weren't you taught in your elementary days on how to title a story?? The title of a story sells it or mars it, am not reading to get paid, so what da heck?

And by the way, did I insult him? What is all this barking all about

I have been reading all the comments from page one and it's now that I can confirm that Nigeria's education is useless infact all English teachers should be retrenched and new ones trained and recruited.
Why is the average Nigerian this illiterate?( they can read but can't comprehend)
Go back and read that passage again



"He also criticized the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, for “advising Buhari to make a national broadcast on a matter still in court”.

Datti described the broadcast as “a classical failure in leadership.”

Baddosqqi:


Datti!!? Do you have an idea of what crime PMB has committed against humanity?

Did you hear of the Igbo man whose pregnant wife died in the hospital with child in her womb in Abuja?? not because he had no money, but simply because there was no cash at the bank, there was no cash at the ATM, and there was no cash at the POS and there was no network nfor transfer. Who does that?

Do you know how weighty the offence is for restricting people from collecting their hard earned money after asking them to deposit in the bank under false pretences that it would be changed?

I feel terribly bad that I did not study law, and most charge and bail lawyers from the South Eastern part of the country are not even intelligent enough to put up a nailing petition on this President and the Governor of CBN simply because Nnamdi Kanu is being incaserated....

El-Rufai and other governors have committed no crime!!! Buhari ought to be impeached, and Emefiele ought to be removed and arrested!

I for advise PO not to contest until Nigerians suffer to the extent that they will be begging competent Nigerians to contest but from my human side, when I see the poor around me suffering, I try to make effort to make their lives better by canvassing for candidates like Peter OBI, unfortunately, some have crossed the poverty Rubicon (both mental and money wise) and cannot be redeemed e.g. nairaland urchins

It's called street credibility.
If your candidate get mind tell am to enter street

Seun take down this advert.
I have the means to pursue this ethnic tension you're stoking with this advert to a logical conclusion and I know other nairalanders who can do that too.
We are not fools here.
Give them back their money and take down this advert.
I won't comment on this again

Where is the road then?

SReporters:


It's campaign season.... The road inspection is also an avenue to advertise and promote APGA and it's candidates
