Damod88:
This shows how unintelligent most Nigerians are. How can a nation that desperately needs foreign investments to growth its economy be calling for the nationalization of existing foreign ones?So ,if it happens today that Nigerians in China are being treated badly, then the Nigerian government should also nationalise Chinese investments in the country. Those calling for nationalization ,especially the politicians, are saying it to impress gullible Nigerians .

We do not need or want FDI from countries that kill our people with no remorse.

But the people can respond at the level of the consumers.

Step 1.identify as many SA owned businesses and goods as possible. For example apples from SA, stores and services

Step 2:boycot them at the consumer level

Step 3:Watch their sales g down


That's patrotism

-Don't send ur subscription money to SA, Use Netflix instread

-Take time to port to another network

-If your friend has 2 lines call the other line so you don't dash MTN money

-if they call with an MTN line don't pick but call them back on another line. Buy your data on your other line

-check the sources of apples. Buy Cameroon and not SA apples

Ditto for other bussinesses,Watch their sales drop
That's a consumers protest that works,thats patroitism

The Uk should be ashamed of themselves for awarding such a stupid judgement deal,

I'm curious as to the history and affiliations of the judge,the UK must probe him as well.The judgement Money is more than our highest National Budget ever,way above that.I mean the money for everything in Nigeria at federal level for a year!....

Even if the country was truly culpable,what kind of judge gives a sentence like that.where NO SERVICE was rendered,NO MONEY was brought into the economy as a result of the briefcase company efforts. Do they want Nigeria to collapse?

At the end of the day the stupid contract appears suspiciously fraudulent,is UK aiding the grandest corruption in Nigerian history?

These are questions that must be answered,BREXIT is not our fault o....

the case has ''most likely fraud'' written all over it

EFCC should not stop,they should use a microscope and keep probing,the truth will unravel under the close scrutiny.

For example question number 1: did the president at the time who was in a coma sign the documents or were they forged signatures

other questions will follow...

The perspective is this money is more than our largest National budget (by far)

No company or court has the moral right to put a demand such as that on any country.

At best the company should state it's losses incured as a result of the deal and have it repayed.

Perhaps UK will be happy to see Nigeria as a failed State because of a judgement debt passed in their courts.

obailala:
I shake my head and laugh whenever I see this clever by half spinned up analogy being peddled about. He didnt pay to avoid suspicion indeed!

A president who had no problem or "fear of suspicion" when pulling off hundreds of millions of dollars illegally from the CBN to execute elections, is the same president whom some persons are now claiming deliberately did not pay a legally recognised judgement debt becasue of "fear of suspicion"?

GEJ deliberately did not pay that money, but not because of the above poorly fabricated political excuse. The reason GEJ did not pay was because GEJ wasn't stupid; for a country facing an imminent forex crisis, dwindled foreign reserves, progressively dropping oil prices/income and on the brink of possible recession, only a stupid leader would dole out $850million to ship outside the shores of his country at that time for a contract not even executed.

So why did he sign the agreement? Where was the money supposed to come from.

Nbote:
So U are blind to see atleast he salvaged some sort of arrangement by agreeing to a settlement abi? What exactly did hero do with dat settlement already agreed?



But it was okay to give questionable bailouts to states who hadn't accounted for how dey blew their allocations and most of who are still owing their workers salaries ryt? It was okay to quickly agree to pay questionable percentage to some so called solicitors for an Abacha loot abi?

I don't get people like you. So paying the salaries of your own people who need the paltry funds to eat and survive is "questionable bailout"

You would prefer the country pays a bully/gangster briefcase company who offered NO SERVICE,brought in NO MONEY. They were extorting your country at the cost of the suffering of multitude.

You Sir have no conscience.you have no honour.I suspect you are not a Nigerian.And if you are,have you not heard to pray for the peace of your country.Those that do so will prosper in their ways. may you be rewarded in full in line with your interests and wishes for Nigeria.

hush15:
an very sure you didnt read the write. From that report, the person that still tried salvaging the whole situation is GEJ. Though he wasnt the author, under his administration, they reached an 850million dollars settlement. Rather than talk to them that they were trying to settle down to understand whats going on and pay that settlement, they were being stubborn and trying to pin it on the last administration. Now, they moved the figures from 850million to 9.sumtin billion, how smart?

Somebody should investigate this malami guy, he knowa about this increase and trying to tale advantage of the situation. sumtin is fishy abeg

GEJ salvage attempt was unpatriotic. That said GEJ was an economic buffon.This is clear and will forever be clear to all generations.The comparative indices of his reign to other reigns in Nigeria and globally will forever judge him. That is a key part of legacy. He is the example of how leaders must keep an eye on a Nations treasury in their reign

To be precise. GEJ agreed to that deal when oil was at an all time high ever! But staff in Nigeria were being Owed salaries on a massive scale with no bail out, our foreign reserve, and ECF were massively depleted and at the lowest recorded ever.Nigeria did not have a job to spare. the question is why did he sign the agreement.

Do not quote GEJ here

Did that contract add any value monetary or non monetary to our economy.

Why would any patriotic or sane leader agree to pay 8 million dollars that added nothing to our economy in a time of recession (oil price as low as 22 dollars from over 100 dollars and production capacity less than 50percent thanks to ND millitants) states were Oweing salaries there was no money then.do you guys know the meaning of National interest? This company offered NO SERVICE, NO VALUE, brought in NO MONEY. And some Nigerians had to guts to say Nigeria must pay...

We made the right decision challenging the fraudulent situation in court. That case needs to be studied well.It may be a classic case of how the west is corrupt and impoverishes nations by exploiting legal hoops in coinaivance with willing accomplices

taiyeayodeji:
in Germany, there is a different between police and private security.the police will never have the inscription security on their shirt or uniform.Police will have POLIZEI .so this video is just to justify their action that it was done in front of police.Even those who did this knows they have limit to what they can do according to german law.You can't assault anybody , not even your child.i don't like corrupt politicians but a situation in which a group thinks they can do whatever they like in Europe is bad. This is not Nigeria,nigerian matters should be settled at home.

the problem with this case is Nigerias response to it.The country is sometimes slow and indifferent about its official response to things like this.Sometimes its also people hampered by the jurisdiction of their offices,so there may be no ''office'' to handle this matter officially.As such no response from Goverment save the ministry of comms issuing a weak and ineefective condemnation.

The country must assign an agency or task force to this,there must be no assumption ''someone is handling this''. The task force/agency needs to respond ASAP,and get results in less than 48 hrs or else useless myths like this (''The German police was watching so nothing will happen if you also do this'')will continue to be spread and the very action continue like wild fire to the detriment of the growth also to the embarrassment of the Nation and the entire continent

Inteltower:
only a fool will write this nonsense

when you don't know problems of the common man who are suffering because of a failed system you can say anything.

Europeans do it to their own officials. A Zimbabwean minister was done this a couple of weeks back.

its your type that are saboteurs, can offer any positive impact their environment & only wail behind the keypad when you know things aren't right.
.

Only rascals,uneducated and underachieving dimwits think chaos and anarchy bring about sustainable growth in any society. Chaos brings more chaos and anarchy,it stifles development if in doubt ask Egypt, Sudan, Somalia and the pioneers of violent change

The responsibility of every patriot is to maintain law and order in their countries. If they find any process unagreeable it must be challenges through the proper channels. Where there are no proper channels requests for it's creation must be made.

But for those edging on the nuisances threatning our elected leaders,you all will pay. And I hope Nigeria insists on setting examples with the ex biafrian now German Warlords.

An advice to the responsible Government agencies reading this.Plese ensure a report is lodged with the German police and all diplomatic routes. if Germany is unsatisfactorily slow about bringing the culprits to book please note they have trade, agencies and projects in Nigeria that can be suspended till they change their mind on the pace at which this should be addressed.

Old age is not an excuse for rascality. Those men MUST serve some jail time for assault.No community service allowed. They are EXAMPLES.

This is a simple matter. The Nigerian police needs a set up a special task force. Link up with Interpol. Assign special numbers for incident reports in all embassies and treat all cases of assault to public officials as top priority

Make it a matter of international diplomacy/relations.Something like assault on our officials abroad is an assault on the country.Insist on the highest jail sentence for citizens of the foreign country, deportation for local citizens

Sit back and watch the action unfold

You all underestimate the value of your country in the global space. You all don't know...

Every single person in that video must be found. That must be the aim of the task force on this matter. The findings and culprits including onlookers must be brought to book. They are accessories to this crime

Next time they hear jungle justice or see a law officer identify himself this story must be an example why people will shudder and ensure everyone knows their community allowed them go maximum they can do will be to take their pics secretly


This case must not be swept under the carpet. The civilians and military involved are all guilty

Did the policemen identify themselves. If yes and the army continued the exvercise against them then the excercise was a hit against the policemen. The soldiers need to be identified and tried to serve as deterent in future

The police need an identification process when in plain clothes operations to back their words

The new army owes the police and general public that justice is done in this case. The families of the slain officers need a trust fund. Please make it known to all how to support them

Okuda:
i aint apologizing shit. besides look at the difference between their proscription and that of IPOB.

Grow up. Be a better man

Nice one.

Next let's do the value of crude oil,the volume of sales, our foreign reserve and our debt in naira and dollar, during these timelines side by side the exchange rate

Those are the real comparisons that will show the full picture of what happened in nigeria till date

Okuda:
when they say women should be only found in the kitchen and other room now, you guys would flare up. proscribing a religioud group terrorists means that they are not allowed to practice their religion in a country that accepts freedom of association and worship.proscribing them as terrorists is the last thing Buhari would do even if it means taking his life. because they ptoscribed ipob as terrorists now you lots think that is the solution to every problem in the country.

I had to log in for your comment. You do know they were proscribed as a terrorist group on the same day you wrote this comment. It appears you owe the woman an apology.

It appears you should also consider your misogynistic self is not quite as smart as you think.
I should add any group that meets all the criteria for proscription as a terrorist group will be proscribed.

But do the needful, apologize

The shittes are clearly against the country. Clearly.They have a long term agenda which includes toppling Nigeria. Their annual Kurds day reenactment with Nigeria in chains flogged by them is a testament

They have Attacked:
The highest representative of the military
The highest representative of the Legislative-NASS
They have threatened the highest representative of the executive repeatedly-The president
And recently the have attacked civilians.

Why are we not jointly cautioning them. Their protests are no longer peaceful. And they clearly are anti State.

It is in everyone's interest that we have a country.Or amicable resolution of different states if it must be. However we do not need a hostile or subtle takeover by foreign interests. Any group of persons that threatens this system threatens every one.

The shittes ""peaceful protest"" is a scam. Real Nigerians will do well to speak with them (the shores) to thread with caution and not edge them on with this their clear agenda

PrinceGallant:
I do not in the least doubt that you are oponu alainilakai. If you have sense, you should be able to see beyond what she explained. But being agba osika to maa n gbo ejo enu enikan dajo, you have manifested how nitwit and stupid you are.

I have to tell you that I am a Yoruba man when in your wicked heart accusing me of coming from her husband's family and calling me a kidnapper. I am a true son of Yoruba, and you are the bastard, ole lo maa n mo ese ole to. Omo ale ara e.

Nobody can becloud me with emotion, you can go ahead and cry

A 2 year old was taken away from a widow who is recuperating from bilateral fracture. (without her permission)

Key word without her permission.

I don't need to listen to any sides to condemn this. Also to insist the child is returned to her mother.You should too UNLESS you think it's acceptable, or you have done this before.

NO Yoruba culture takes a child from its mother without her consent.Yoruba land is where women deliberately have children for rich families so they can lay stake to a part of his wealth as custodian of one of his children.So why try to tarnish the Yoruba reputation and history for your irresponsible decision making and selfish self?

If you know about the matter tell your friends or people to go and return the child. 6 months is enough time for dialogue. The kidnappers have kept the child for that long

@ SyNnadi

Should they refuse to return the child. Please let me know via mention if and when a legal case starts on this matter. She will need logistics to get her witnesses to court with ease. I may not be able to follow the threads due to a busy schedule. However I will be happy to contribute to the process to make it easy on her and her friends..

Many thanks to Seun osewa lalalistica and whoever is the nairaland moderator that moved this forward.

May you find help in your time of need

SyNnadi:
The in-laws didn't inform her n her family that a date has been fixed for his burial. She got to know from their landlady in Lagos who called to give her condolence greeting to her and thereby told her that her sister in law called and is requesting access into their apartment to pack their belongings. That if d wife has anything valuable in the apartment that she should come and get them before on the 12th which is d burial....... That was how she n her family learnt that a date was fixed for his burial

Please don't forget to give updates on this matter to keep it alive. You also need to make the twitter one a thread. It's easier for pple to follow that way. You can get someone to do it with her handle.

Let's know if anything happens over the weekend

Also note the offers for influencers,legal support and the rest. Please follow up all links you require. I wish her all the best

Sterope:
Yorubas family that insist on marrying the widow. There are Yoruba families that exclude the wife and children from inheriting their husband and father's. There are Yoruba families that have kidnapped someone else's child( this is very rare though, it depends on the family)

Most cultures are patriarchical which means in every culture women including widows widow is often treated unfairly and unjust. This is not a war between tribes. Nothing is special about our tribe

You are obviously a representative of the family or you speak for them. Go and return the child to the recuperating widow

PrinceGallant:
Well, I am a Yoruba man, I don't know her for anywhere. And I can't let anyone appeal to my emotion so as to stray from being objective. There is much hidden to what she explained. Let's be reasonable.

Then you are the type they call omo ale jati jati to fill owo osi juwe ile baba e. That's for bringing your Yoruba heritage as an excuse to justify nonsense.

Yoruba people are noble and they don't stand for injustice. No Yoruba family will do this without widespread condemnation from all Yoruba persons. They will even shun and blacklist the guys family. So what exactly is your point

PrinceGallant:
I know you may see my comment very different but if you can answer some questions therein and accept what might be your faults it is better.

First, this your story (plus that your husband's story) is a one-side of a coin, we need to hear the other party so that we will not be bias and become sinful on a matter that has little concern to us. Yes, little concern. It remains just incredible that your in-laws are treating you like that but until we hear from their sides.

Madam, can you shed light on this your statement: "[b]They demanded all sort of things and called me all sorts of names . went as far as tarnishing my image n levying all sort of false allegation on me." [/b]What are those things they demanded? What names did they call you? What false allegation did they 'levy' against you? In short, what did they call your offence?

We are all human beings, kindly be truthful and tell us frankly what you think you do to deserve this treatment. Besides, how were you sure the sister that administered the injection killed him?

Lastly, I believe if you are married legally, may be in traditional way, religious way or court marriage, this matter can be settled. This is the reason why we always preach against marriage out of wedlock. I wish you best.

But instead of coming to Nairaland or Twitter, why can't you go to court?

Actually we don't need any story. Every decent human being that has heard this tale knows there's 1 basic thing that needs to be done.

The kidnappers should return the 2 year old child to the mother. If she goes to court or not. Society will continue to condemn all representatives of this kind of attrocity such as yourself

You all should return that child asap to the rightful guardian

To the Guyz family and their well wishers I know you are reading these pages and following the twitter pages closely. Please see the analysis below

(1) I understand grief makes people do strange things.However times have changed. Whatever the grievance is there's no excuse anywhere for detaining a sick grieving widow's 2 year old child.

(2)By ensuring the family representatives names have been picked on nairaland. That means a Google Search of anyone of them or the family name now and in future will bring a first page google search of this matter.They should consider visa applications, job applications, their children's view in future of what they and the family stood for

(3) Linda and other influences are yet to pick this. That means The momentum can still be nipped in the bud and the posts amended pseudo amicably with their apologies and the fact that they returned the baby. They may even try to convince Her friends who have posted so far to drop names,all part of the process to be requested for in the dispute resolution

(4)Lastly if they insist the families path on this matter is honourable. Linda has 5-7 million views daily.She is a mother of a child less than 2.If she sees the post she may it up with interest. If she misses it she can be redirected With the offer of a paid publication.

(5)They should also know matters can be made to trend on twitter to the number 1 topic in Nigeria by a paid campaign which is ridiculously inexpensive

(6)The social media publicity will start,its a matter of when. The right NGO will also see and address the matter


(6) All this will ultimately ensure the case ends up as a criminal case.

(7)They should consider the above and do the right thing as soon as possible,the next few days is the golden timeline. The eye before the storm. They should use it well.

SyNnadi:
They demanded all sort of things and called me all sorts of names . went as far as tarnishing my image n levying all sort of false allegation on me..

With all these I wasn't moved so they decided to permanently hold on to my child .

Those that later showed interest in the case asked them y they haven't returned my 2 year old baby yet to me, they started telling them that they are holding her pending when I fully recovers so as to trick them n make dem back off

My baby they have been using to get financial support from his friends

[center][/center]

You haven't actually copied the persons on twitter suggested. They are all key persons o this matter. But that's fine. Because it gives another opportunity for another attempt at resolution and they'll know that the matter is no longer secret now.

Can you ask his key friends,1 or 2 family members and a lawyer to formally request for the child from the kidnappers. Let them know the meeting and their responses are been recorded.Let the lawyer be formally engaged and representing the mother.

The conversations may go back and forth but ensure the response to we want the child back now on behalf of the mother is well documented.

I they still say no.You have evidence of their most recent formal response should anyone pick the matter up officially.

Next week will then be a good time to ensure you copy every one suggested with the support Vera tweet. You can repeat the tweet as many times as possible.

SyNnadi:
And now.the wife is been threatened heavily to drop the matter. The in-laws are fighting back to making sure she doesn't get back her child. Dear friends your help is highly needed. Let's help this innocent young widow to get the justice she deserves. You can join make it louder by going so on twitter tagging @vera_ogbebor (the widow's I'd)

There needs to be a new page titled support for Vera. It should follow the steps I highlighted in the post above. It needs pictures. Names and dates. It should copy the whole world.

Cc Naptu cc Seun cc lalalistica

Righteousness exalts a nation and we all have our part to play in ensuring no one is oppressed

Justice is speaking up for the oppressed the widows and the orphans and those who cannot speak for themselves. I cannot think of a more worthy cause for you to champion on your homepage.the way the Regina matter and it's updates was promoted. Seun Osewa you may want to look through this thread and make a decision

We also need a thread on nairaland homepage rallying support for this woman on nairaland and twitter

Apologies I just saw this. Will do the needful.

Please refer to myself last thread on this. Copy all the persons I mentioned. Send the emails out.

SyNnadi:
not yet. The child is still with the Akhators

Thank you for the update.

I understand Nigerian women are slow to go to court when their rights are infringed as a result of family matters. Something about the future. However the courts of public opinion can drive the process. A criminal case can also be instituted by the state and not her to serve as precendent.

If the man's family believe they have done nothing wrong truly then they have nothing to worry about

If she has any friends, A good friend of hers needs to do the following annonymously and quickly please.

1.Collate basic information and pictures on the matter..the woman's picture the child the individual that actually abducted the child. Key persons in the family, The timeline of the matter. The name of the families, progress till date. Etc


2.send a detailed email to Linda ikeji on this matter with the facts above copying this nairaland thread in the mentions

3.find one or 2 journalist friend send to them as well to share with their links

4.Start a new twitter handle anonymously with the background information and for updates on the matter. Cc Linda. Tontedike. Segalinks. Omojuwa. Abikedabiri. Banks wife.. Daddy freeze. FIDA. Aisha Buhari. Yomi shogunle. Aisha yesufu. Obi ezekwelisi. Can't think of others now

Inform this thread of that twitter handle. this is very important please.I can assure you the right influencers will take it from there

If everyone speaks I will understand they have a right to an opinion. However this man does not. He has no moral right to any opinion on this matter and definitely not on Tinubus,he is not even worthy to call the name Tinubus.

Here's the perspective. Kanus loose lips cost his people their lives and what did he do...run at the slightest chance. Lie about it and Put his sureties in trouble. That's not an honourable man. An honourable man prevents bloodshed at all costs. And this same vagabond thinks he has a right to an opinion on an elder statesman of a noble people who advised caution in labelling an entire race as bandits

Here's another perspective how will easterners feel if every south eastern man and child is profiled as a drug lord or kidnapper. We all know kidnapping In Nigeria was really high from that area at a time and the people also formed the highest proportion of illicit drug export related crime caught abroad by Tribe in Nigeria.However no one called for actions against the entire easterners in Nigeria for the sake of the acts of some misguided few.

The Yoruba are more cautious in their utterances ,they are master are strategists that are slow to speak and act but get results when they eventually do.

Nanmadi Kanu is at best a joke. A loud mouthed failure and it's sad he seems to be the designated spokesman of his people
