So he fell into a pit ... I just hope they're still guarding the pit to make sure he doesn't get out. The community should then make that out their new dump site ... for poo ...and maybe garbage. |
Crime / Re: Police Arrest Man For Circulating Nude Video Of Young Woman In Bayelsa by Originalsly: 9:12pm On Sep 06 |
I don't understand why the punishment for this and other crimes is X number of years imprisonment or a fine. Why not both? This gives the rich freedom to commit such crimes over and over again. This one maybe back on the streets soon 1 Like |

Thundafireseun: The blatant hypocrisy too many don't see. How can younclwimnto be champions of free speech and officially declare that one should not be voicing his choice of a Presidential candidate? Does the same apply to celebrities who are endorsing candidates all over the media? To pick and choose who can and cannot say the same thing is discrimination. Is discrimination a value of democracy? He should be ashamed of himself and should be apologizing as well as withdrawing that statement. |

IamAtAnger: Blacks are responsible for a lot of stuff but there inventions and contributions are downplayed or been patented by Whites. Do you know the light bulb ... the traffic lights ... GPS ... came about because of Blacks? ... Don't you see Thermo King written on the cooling unit on refrigerated trucks? .. that's the patent of a Black man who was allowed to have a patent and he had more. Do you think immunization is the White man's idea? ... they got that from an African...a slave ..a practice that was well known in Africa. Drainage and irrigation systems... African. These are some that we benefit from in these times. |

Why would anyone expect the price of fuel to drop or be stable when the Naira keeps depreciating or not stable? Why would anyone expect the Naira to be stable when Tinubu keeps borrowing and we are not producing and exporting?

Hmmmm ... guy looking for bail .... prosecution said he lied in his visa application in 2017 ...he cannot be trusted. What don't they know about him? In the case they will present emails and other evidence to prove he was involved. He might as well just confess and plead guilty to allll charges. Maybe he thinks if caught he will just take a fine option and walk ...like the $53 000 scammer. Guy facing 20 years ....a hefty fine .... everything they think the money was used to buy to be confiscated ... ,plus he has to pay back the money? He is finished. 5 Likes |

If the killer was an Arab ...will the narrative be the same? ... would you have said he is mentally unstable? Soft terms and excuses are out out when the killer is White ... the perpetrator is called the shooter ... if Black ..the animal ...if Arab ..the terrorist. When White ... It's a mental problem! and mental problems become the news. He's 14 ...the boy/kid when White ... never a terrorist. Shot how many people.... arrested. If he were non White .... uncountable bullets.

Who is now safe? ...is your relative planning your kidnap? ... is your child safe going and coming from school? ... is your child safe in school? States should get tough ... pass laws to make kidnapping a death penalty crime and allow such cases to immediately go to court . A big cash reward should be posted for information leading to the arrest of the kidnappers ...in these hard times even mothers will snitch on their sons. News of the execution should then be broadcast so people will know they're not playing. If not...when caught ....Police should take them to the victims' community to hold press briefing. The community will know what to do. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Africa's biggest enemies are Africans with colonialised minds. With all his billions ...Bill Gates cannot have a seat in a similar meeting in his country....why is he invited and allowed in ours? Would he have been invited if he were Black? Why are we ... common citizens questioning his presence and the politicians are all quiet? A colonialised mind will always see what the colonialists are doing as something good. Why do we see him as a philanthropist?...the money he donates ... is it at any time for free?...or almost always an advance? Funny that Bill Gates is always vaccinatjng children in the poorest communities. Why doesn't he do same in the US? Africans are being used as his Guinea pigs and too many of us don't know. With the amount of blood on his hands this man need to be roasted instead of being toasted by these colonial ass lickers To anyone with an open mind and at least half of a brain ... the following is for you ..read ...chew ...digest ...then figure out one good reason why he is here.

Crime / Re: Someone Ordered A Large Amount Of Food & Drinks From My Shop Yesterday And Fled by Originalsly: 1:38pm On Sep 04 |
Most likely your competitor is behind this. Why would any one else turn down your business sign to not attract customers? You need to invest in security cameras to monitor inside and outside of the business. Buy 4 big non working cameras and place them where they can be seen.... buy covert cameras and have them installed in strategic positions... even unknown to your staff. You Will learn a lot more from them . On the food order ... see that as the price you paid to learn a good business lesson. It is never wise to judge a book by its cover and that's exactly what you did. I'm almost sure the man was well dressed and appeared as one who can afford to pay for whatever he ordered. ... same reason your staff went on an errand for a customer. What is your policy on orders? You need to have policies or this will happen again and again . Big order with no money down? Naija no be Heaven. 1 Like |

If SA is being spiteful or hateful or whatever ... why would they grant the women's team visas and not the men's team? How can they not say why visas were denied? What the NBA guy is claiming does not add up. I want to suspect there is something fishy with the names submitted ... like the names of politicians' sons and others submitted as team members.

Politics / Re: With Our Refinery, Nigeria’s True Fuel Consumption Will Be Tracked - Aliko Dango by Originalsly: 4:42am On Sep 04 |
Tracking trucks is not the same as tracking the fuel loaded in them. I can see the corrupt ones transferring most of the fuel to other trucks and delivering 25% to the station.As long as fuel is sold cheaper in Nigeria than neighbouring countries ... it will be smuggled fuelm.Maybe there need to be new laws with harsh penalties ... like fines of ten times the value of fuel smuggled fuel.. confiscating the vehicle/means used for transportation ....plus a minimum of 1 year imprisonment. This will no doubt reduce... reduce smuggling. 2 Likes |

It is such a delusional people that sell all they have ...borrow money on top and go abroad believing life is definitely greener on the other side.... all that need to be done is to get there. When reality strikes .... they are stuck ... sufferation 24/7 ...wishing to return but they burnt the bridge after they crossed over. For this reason I'm always against the FG for airlifting them back home ... they should remain and enjoy the 24 hrs electricity ..and Medicare and all the advantages OP mentioned ... why return to the ehmmm ..."shit hole"? On one point ... the average Nigerian .... regardless of status ... eats much healthier foods than than most Americans. We can agree that natural/organic foods are wayyy healthier than GMO and processed foods. In Nigeria most eat natural foods ....cannot afford the GMO's but in the US most cannot afford organic foods and resort to the unhealthy GMOs . And we wonder why the US has a high rate of health issues .. cancer..kidney failure ...liver problems .. overweight... a problem that is increasing in Nigeria because we want to eat the same like the Americans believing that what they eat is healthier. Check the ingredients on almost any American brand product ...cereals..juice .whatever ... you will see high fructose corn syrup ... a sweetener ... banned in Canada ..banned in the entire Europe but widely used in the US. Enough for healthy foods in the US. 1 Like 1 Share |

What are the 5 MoU's?

I just don't understand how those in authority have no balls. Can a Nigerian company try this in China?...or any other country? OGWANA has its rules which the companies are aware of. Why does the State have to go begging the companies to follow the rules?... to go and counsel them about the need to follow the rules? ... all the while the companies continue to damage the environment. Now the companies are shut down ... what are the penalties? No charges?....no fines? ...no orders to clean up the environment? ...no deadlines to do same? ... no seizure of assets? ...and confiscation if orders aren't met? Cowards everywhere ... being bullied in their own land and afraid to take firm action. And we wonder why foreign companies are above the law here |
Politics / Re: FG to Award East West Road in Niger Delta To CCECC by Originalsly: 4:37am On Sep 03 |
Tinubu said there is no longer a problem with finance. Why is he still looking everywhere to borrow and out us in debt? Let's chew on this award of contract. He has singlehandedly decided ...based on his observations...that he will sign the contract for China Engineering to rehabilitate the road. Isn't there supposed to be bidding process? Don't Julius Berger also do good work? Note ... a contract without cost of project. Note...he said finance is not a problem. Is China building it for free? Then how is China going to be repaid? We should ask ourselves what is in the contract? My best bet ....China is going to fund the entire project ...and when completed...they will have complete control of the highway and the right to establish toll stations and charge whatever they think they need to. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: US Seizes Venezuelan President Maduro’s Plane by Originalsly: 4:20am On Sep 03 |
Hmmm.....at it again. Since Chavez ...US is out to control Venezuela. Few years ago Trump recognized the opposition leader as the President. Creating unrest didn't work. Their money was then made useless and citizens began to blame the government and migrated in droves...many of whom headed to the US in "Caravans". That became a big headache and still is for the US. Maduro turned to the media to explain why the economy collapsed and this got many to see it was a destabilization attempt by the US. Presently ...it is about oil .... Venezuela is a major producer ....neighbouring Guyana has discovered oil via Exon Mobil not only in humongous reserves but in very high grade quality. This is a threat to Venezuela which dug up an old dormant territorial dispute and is laying claim to about a third of Guyana ...where Exon Mobil is operating. This is the hot bed of oil production worldwide. The US is not having this ... Maduro is insisting...so the US wants Maduro out. Maybe the next move is to declare him wanted.

Health / Re: Help! My Younger Brother Is Going Mad. by Originalsly: 1:57pm On Sep 02 |
Anyone running mad on weed ... been using weed that is spiked ...something added to the weed. Keep weed out. It has to be the ice or whatever he is using. You need to read up and understand what is an addiction ... and you will understand why talking to him wouldn't help ...neither beating him. If you have the money....I suggest you take him to a hospital that does detox ...if there is one. They will keep him for a few days and extract all the drugs from his body. Or....you need to take him to the village or some remote area ....have him locked up for like 3 months ... he will go through a lot since his body will react in all sorts of ways when the drug is not supplied ...but will calm down after. It is only after this period you can talk to him and help him set his mind to resist the temptation. You can even get the drug and keep tempting him until he is truly no longer interested. At the end of the day ... it is only him can decide to stay clean or go back. |
