CrimeRe: Kidnappers Of GUO Bus Passenger Demand ₦50M Ransom by OneCandleAway(f): 11:29am On Apr 22
Maxymilliano:
But according to the company management, empty bus was dispatched with no passengers
Is it that the driver carried passengers on the road. Because some do just that.

That's why we say enter from recognized parks and buss company.
PoliticsRe: More Christians Killed In Nigeria Than Anywhere Else, Govt Complicit - Ted Cruz by OneCandleAway(f): 11:25am On Apr 22
EJEGBULEJE:
More Muslims were killed in Nigeria, should we call that a Muslim Genocide??

Before 1 Christian is killed, 100 Muslims have gone down
But a Muslim is ready to sacrifice 100 Muslim to kill one Christian infidel. So definitely Muslims are collateral damage.
And in Nigeria only your religion causes problems. No body is killing in the name of Jesus, Buddha, Krishna. Why only Islam.
PoliticsRe: Enugu Water Scarcity Has Again Embarrassed Nigeria: Picture by OneCandleAway(f): 5:38am On Apr 21
AsomughaChuks02:
Everybody knows that Enugu doesn't have water. Even hotels have to book tankers ahead of time to supply them with water. It is a pity that this tourist had to experience the bitter pain of the notorious water scarcity in coal city. This is why majority of Enugu indigenes have fled their state and are choking up everywhere in Anambra.
But why. Can't they dig borehole/well. Or is it coal they meet under the ground instead of water?
RomanceRe: Which Of These Relationships Will Work? by OneCandleAway(f): 8:28pm On Apr 20
bluefilm:
Have you seen some reports that macron's old woman is actually a man?

Similarly, there are reports too that Barrack Obama's woman is actually a man

As part of the evidence, the report goes further to say that there are no pictures of Michael abi Michel Obama showing when she was pregnant

Stranger than fiction, right?
Michelle is a woman. it's racism that is making some people say she's a man. Generally the whites believe black women aren't feminine enough.

For macron, she's just an old white woman and they age terribly. His parents tried everything to separate them, even bringing him down to Nigeria, it didn't work. Maybe it's his destiny.

Do you know Obama even had 200 Marines in Ghana, ready for Jonathan if he refused to step down.

Nonsense and ingredients
But you can go and beg them for loan. But your country produced underwear bomber that wanted to blow up their airplane and people. To the American a single life of their citizens is precious so they will interfere with your country if your politics will end up affecting them.

Onucs:
Everything this man have been doing always shows his government is only for the elites.

Why do this for only senior officers, what happen to every other rank in the force?

SMH
That's Tinubu for you. He panders to the elite. He lacks sympathy for the poor. By now people should have been able to detect this trait. I'm just suprised the way our people reason at times. Is it the fact that most live in survival mode they can't introspect and analyse people properly.

Thankfully this is coming from Dele Sobowale, a respected writer.

Occupy Ojota happened when we were by far better off but there's not a single noise now that our collective strangulation is almost killing us.

The only good thing is that we are all in it together.
They had energy to protest back then. At least food was affordable during Jonathan era. . Now they are hungry. No energy to even talk
PoliticsRe: The Lights Of Democracy Are Going Out In Nigeria - Dele Sobowale by OneCandleAway(f): 8:43pm On Apr 12
AMINDA:
It was always clear that he was battling a chronic case of low self-esteem and imposter syndrome. The sycophantic "on your mandate" anthem, the false sense of megalomania, the hold on Lagos decades after governing, the level of covetousness, greed and self-angrandisement, etc. The signs of a budding dictator were always there.
The most astonishing case was him allowing wike to name the conference center in Abuja after him, just because they refurbished. Even babangida that built the place didn't name it after himself. Honestly the man has self esteem issues based on his lowly birth circumstances and wants to always put those fortunate to have come from affluence beneath him.

IGBOPROMISE1:
The man is a repugnant little despot! The funny thing is, when you ask him and his cohorts to try and find it within themselves to play the game like democrats, the will tell you without batting an eyelid that their hands are clean and the opposition should go sort themselves out!

I partly blame GEJ for this! The irony in all this is that Tinubu wouldn’t have been as forgiving had GEJ done the same thing to him!
You're right about this. He treated osinbajo with disdain because the man dared to run for president. Didn't even want to shake him at a point.

He is also a senior army officer, probably one of those who diverted the funds thinking they can manage the situation
As a competent administrator, are there not supposed to be measures put in place to check corruption, knowing the kind of people you have. Except you don't even have energy for the job/position you grabbed and ran away eith

Tinubu is in Aso Rock receiving Shekarau with nothing else but 2027 on his mind.

And Ice Cream man Shetima, who volunteered to tackle insecurity is in his new 30 billion naira apartment talking about Peter Obi.
Funny thing is he didn't stay in the house built. He things it might have been bugged.

crazygod:
On a serious note, I have still not yet learnt the new (old) national anthem. It's stressful
It's even wrong, using a national anthem composed by the colonialists. As if you don't have nationals who can compose one. I doubt if there's even any country still using the anthem composed by the colonialists. Only nigeria.

Yes, I know but it's still somehow. I work with my uncle that lives in Ikorodu. He's a computer science/accounting Consultant. But where I've lived for over 20 years. Okay recently my grandma (who is the only surviving parent I have) was complaining to my aunt that came to visit her that I invited a lady to the house, I've got my own room but because she went to church that day and asked my to help look after her own room, I have to ask the lady, my serious girlfriend o though I didn't let her know because I don't think it matters until maybe when we marry, to follow to our living room so she came back saw her didn't say anything o, till my Aunt came. It was my aunty that told me thank God my aunt refreshed her memory that if not for what's happening I'm old enough to marry so she doesn't know what she's complaining of, I'm over 30 o. You see why I need to leave her now. Even staying there is driving me back mentally.
Yes, I get. These old people can be stubborn at time. It's when you're gone they'll start missing you.

Thinking about it drives me especially berserk. I'm supposed to be on my own now with my small family but I don't want to think about rent at all yet. Thank God for my grandparents house that I'm managing but I definitely want to move out this year to my own place maybe Ikorodu or somewhere more outskirt sef
If you pay the bills, it's your house as well. Especially if you have your own quarters. Because you have to consider distance to workplace before moving. Even if you're sharing the house with your grandparents or parents so far you take care of all associated bills it's your house.

The landlords have their blame on this issue too as most have increased it astronomically beyond the reach of the ordinary man.
A house built several years ago asking for millions in rentage does not add up.
Well old house should not be as expensive as new, but location matters. And amenities provided also matters. And maintaining the building takes money so you can't blame landlords. Sometimes we have to pull down a wall to rebuild to make it stronger. That alone makes the value of house higher.

Alot of people are now technically homeless in Nigeria presently due to the astronomical increase in rents.
Mere thinking about rent amount can drive one berserk.
More people are moving to outskirts with cheaper rent. But generally landlords are increasing rents which you can't blame them. Things are getting expensive.

Not all and even if they are mentally challenged, something might have pushed them to that situation.
We are experiencing something like that in my compound. Our tenants friend begged to put her load in our compound for a short while till she can get a place. I don't understand the exact story of why she left former house, but she just comes to pick necessities like every 2 days. She rarely sleeps over with the friend/tenant that brought her though, maybe not to over burden that one. It's been 2 months so far.

She refused to let APC and abike dabiri use her for PR. And they showed their classlessness by trying to come for her. Her type is the only way Nigeria can be redeemed. Children on immigrant that will have it at the back of their minds they must be successful and put pressure on the corrupt leadership in Africa.
