This northerners have no business holding national administrative position

Imagine what's coming out of a whole minister of education in 21st century

You can't give what you don't have. See the kind of people Buhari appointed.

hustle o..make everything no come be like vanity to u

Most people will hustle till they die and never be able to afford this kind of luxury. That's how life is. Yahoo boys and corrupt politicians already know this.

Please don't jinx Arsenal Club abeg!! Make dem win league first.

May the Universe have mercy!!! Bad news every day...

This country is doomed!!! It won't be better for Buhari and APC.

God doesn't exist.

If i was a corrupt politician i will just convert all my money to crypto and have just one house. But i will fly all over the world, experience fine dining, luxury hotels, Airbnbs, expensive massages and beauty therapies etc. I am not a fan of buying houses and land. You won’t live forever.

bobntu:
All these empty skulls tribalizing this issue, is there any ethnic group free of super rich government officials? Ain't there politicians in this country that own estates with over 1000 houses?
And for those alarmed at numbers, isn't there something called real estate investment? Is there anyone on this platform that wouldn't want to own plenty houses? Who do you think will buy these ones that have been forfeited?
The real question ought to be - were they illegally acquired? Will all other public office holders be so investigated?

In this case, yes. When you can account for how properties came about, that’s when Efcc will be on your case. If you can provide evidence that you invested your salary and allowance in an legitimate investment like venture capital etc that gave you 10,000% returns, then Efcc has no case. Most of these politicians collect bribe from contractors, do a lot of dirty deals etc.

Looks like Bereau De Change office or bank. When the lady said something about - Beirut Road -, I knew it was Kano & most likely UBA bank.

DSS suppose employ you.

This is a bank. Fake news here and there.

The world is going crazy surely.
Gays are now threatening a global tournament like worldcup NOT because they are stopped from attending. But because they are warned against kissing or smooching in public in the host country. Subhannallahi Do you want to be having sex in public? Which kind wahala be this?

It is even more funnier that FIFA is suddenly growing the moral justification and spirit of neutrality to preach to teams to focus on football and not driving football into politics. So much for the joke. Fvcking FIFA is more political than a political party. Even more than APC,PDP, NNPP and LP combine.

The same FIFA that has been turning blind eye to happenings in Isreal-Palestinian but ban Russia from playing at the worldcup, on influence by the west?

The same FIFA that has been bastardized and politicised to the extent that a ukranian Government is now having the effontery to tell them to ban this one, ban that one. Replace them with this one. Where ukranian flags are hoist at every stadium, every footballing broadcast. But they banned other teams or player from displaying a Palestinian flag or showing solidarity to countries invaded by US, like iraq, afghanistan, libya and others.

Who allowed all these stupid gay right ideology into soccer in the first place? Is it not same FIFA. Now this guys are now having the guts to be threatening to disrupt a global tournament if they are not allowed to display their public affection in public like ' two men Kissing' , or 'two women smooching' each other in full display of the public. Calling and tagging it an infringement on their human right. In another person's country for pete sake!


Who else noticed during champions league games, Peps! or is it he!neken is now advertising with two-female kissing each other? who else noticed it?

This world is done. The west with its silly free right and its long-influence to get anything done their way, is successfully ruining this world.

Russia is the Agressor and everyone knows that. Make dem go sit down.

The man, identified only as Li, wore the get-up to face the media in Nanning City, Guangxi province, and claim his prize.


A man from China has left many people shocked after wearing a bizarre dress to pick up £26 million he won in lottery.

MetroUK reported that the man appeared to accept his massive cheque in a bright yellow costume with oversized eyes and a big head.

Speaking to local reporters, he said: ‘I’m really happy I won, but I don’t want my family to know about this since they might become too arrogant and complacent in the future.’


The man, identified only as Li, wore the get-up to face the media in Nanning City, Guangxi province, and claim his prize.

He had booked a hotel in the city after learning he hit the jackpot on October 21, and went to collect his money on October 24. p

Li had hit all seven lottery numbers, netting him a huge sum amounting to around 171.6 million yuan (£20.4 million) after taxes.

He said: ‘I only won a few dozen yuan in the past. I regard buying the lottery as a hobby, and my family does not care.

‘Plus, I do not spend much money on it, and the lottery provides a ray of hope for me.’

The lottery winner added that he is still thinking carefully about how to spend the windfall, but has donated five million yuan (£600,000) to charity.

And you just gave them heads up!!! EFCC always does media trial and when it goes to court case is thrown out for lack of concrete evidence.

This is why people are leaving this country.






Mods move to front page please...

Nigerians are not good with risk management. Everyone believes its not their portion..

I am not good in economics. What if they abolish the official rate and the now naira now floats to USD1/NGN2000. Is it not worse for those who need dollar for legitimate reasons? Like importers, school students etc?

Odingo1:
African man, Netanyahu will finish and hand over to another person and nothing will happen. Nigerians too like superstition and fairly tales without thinking on how their country will be developed.

Do good things on earth and bother less about superstories.

Gbam!! We need to focus on how to make our world a better place not all these end time and rapture stories and fasting and prayers. That's why Africa is where it is.

I prefer Israel to be the 'Powerful Oppressor' than Palestine abeg. No more ISIS and Taliban controlled nations abeg....

Victim’s experience

A 22-year-old student of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY, Aminat Taiwo, who recently regained her freedom from kidnappers has narrated how she and other kidnapped victims walked from the Lagos Ibadan Expressway, Adjacent Dominion University where they were abducted for over six hours without shoes into the forest where they were camped, with serious beating.

The victim was abducted alongside her friend, Oluwatobi Orekoya, in a commercial bus they were travelling in to Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital to honour another friend who was getting married on October 29, they left Abeokuta on Friday. The distraught victim whose body was full of mosquito bites and marks of beating, told our correspondent that every one of them that were kidnapped sat close to decomposing bodies of victims that had been killed in their camp, when their family members didn’t come up on time with the ransom they demanded. She said the kidnappers even, “killed some abducted victims close to us and covered their corpses with plantain leaves, while the area was covered with the odour from decomposing bodies and maggots from the bodies. “They also threatened to kill us if our family members didn’t bring our ransom on time.

I was scared when I saw how people sitting close to me where being killed simply because of money. It was a bad experience living in the forest without food nor water.” She added that on one the days, “I don’t know how police got to know that we were in the forest. Immediately the kidnappers saw them we were asked to lie down, after a while the policemen left when they didn’t see us, but we were seeing them.” According to Aminat, it was a bitter experience, as they were not given water nor food for the three days that they spent in the forest with the kidnappers. She said: “My friend and I left Abeokuta around 3:30pm from Kuto Motor Park to Ibadan to honour the invitation of our friend who was getting married on Sunday, we decided to leave on Friday in order to assist her and rest before the wedding day.

It was some minutes to 4pm when we suddenly saw the kidnappers in Army uniforms and they were shooting sporadically. “What we thought was that they were chasing armed robbers, not until they got to our own bus and ordered everyone of us out of the bus, but some passengers escaped, I had also escaped, but they came to pick me up where I was hiding and marched me into the forest with others. We walked for over six hours without shoes and we were beaten severally. “It was the stray bullets from the sporadic shooting that hit the former Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Adigun Agbaje, the man is old, it was my friend and I who assisted him when he couldn’t walked fast. The old man was also complaining about his drugs, at the same time praying God should save him because of the gunshot injury he sustained.

“It is a lie when people say the kidnappers mounted roadblock to abduct us. It is a pure lie, there was nothing of such. We just saw them on the road shooting sporadically, we believed that they were chasing armed robbers, not until we were kidnapped that we knew who they were. They all dressed in Army uniform. “After staying a while in the forest, I was given my phone to call my parents, I was still talking to them when the Phone was collected from me and they told my parents to get N10 million each for me and my friend for our release. “Twenty-four hours later, the kidnappers agreed to reduce the ransom from N20 million to N4 million. But my parents were able to raise N2 million, while my friend’s family also raised N1.5 million and the total money we gave them was N3.5 million, before we were released to my father who brought the ransom to them in the forest. “I believe it was prayer that made them to collect such amount of money, while I was still in the forest some families paid N5 million to N8 million for the release of their family members in the kidnappers captivity.”

How the ransom was paid

The victim’s father, Chief Kayode Taiwo said he was at home the fateful night when the unfortunate information reached him through his younger daughter, saying Aminat had been kidnapped. “Immediately, I asked her mother to call her phone number, the phone was ringing but no response, the following day, I went to Mowe Police Station and Area Command at Obafemi Owode to lodge a complaint and they promised to track her phone number. Unfortunately, the tracker, tracked the kidnappers to Owode, whereas they were in a forest on the Lagos Ibadan Expressway.

“On Friday night, my daughter called back that the kidnappers are threatening to kill her and her friend if we didn’t bring the ransom on time. On Saturday morning she called again that the kidnappers said if we have N4 million that I should bring it to Ibadan and I told her what we have was just N2 million, as at that period I did’t have any money, it was after then that I went to town to beg for money.

“Luckily, I was able to raise the N2 million and the family of my daughter’s friend also raised N1.5 million and I took the N3.5 million to them at Ibadan, with my younger brother, where I was told to bring the money. When I got to Ibadan I spent two hours, I was ordered back to Onigari area, after spending another two hours, I was also asked to come down to Dominion University area, it was there they finally came out to me and they were fully kitted in Army uniform and fully armed to the teeth.


“The kidnappers didn’t cover their faces, immediately after collecting the money from me and asking me how much the ransom I brought was, I told them it was N3.5 million for my daughter and her friend. The person who collected the money then ordered one of them to go back into the forest and bring my daughter and her friend, that was how we paid for their released. “When we were about to leave, the kidnappers’ leader asked my daughter about her phone and she then told him she couldn’t find it, the kidnapper’s leader said we should go home and thank Allah that she was not killed.

Immediately I saw my daughter and her friend I was crying, because mosquito had bitten all her body and she was dirty and her foot was injured, because of the distance they walked in the forest.” He added that, before he left the area some other family members of kidnap victims also brought ransom to secure the release of their loved ones. “The leader of the kidnappers gave me his phone to direct a man who was bringing ransom to secure the release of his family member that was also abducted, I was the one directing the man whom the kidnapper said was bringing N8 million ransom. He also told me nobody can track his phone number, he said they only operate in that area once in a week. The victim’s father used the opportunity to plead with the government, “the government should fortify our security and deploy soldiers and police to the Lagos Ibadan Expressway to protect innocent travellers.”

The kidnappers tried to abduct another couple


Sunday Taiwo, the victim father’s immediate younger brother, said it was celebration galore when they brought Aminat back home from the kidnappers den, as sympathisers had gathered in their house waiting for her arrival. After raising the money, it became another issue of who will take the money to the kidnappers, because the victim’s father was afraid, I followed him to deliver the ransom to them. It was family members and some good Samaritans who gave us the money.

He said: “When we eventually got to the front of Dominion University where we were asked to wait, it was one towing vehicle operator who first came, followed by two motorcyclists who are working with them. “After we had waited for a while, the kidnappers dressed in Army uniform just walked out of the forest to collect the money from us. We were even afraid that we might be kidnap as well. We were already there by 2pm and we left by 6pm.

“They also tried to kidnap a couple who were fixing their car that had problem, the couple were almost knocked down by a speeding vehicle when they were trying to escape from the kidnappers.” Also speaking, Habibat Taiwo, the victim’s younger sister, said before her elder sister left her hostel at Abeokuta for the journey she sent her a message. She told me it was she and her friend that were embarking on the journey and “I wished them well. I was surprised when she called me few hours later that she and her friend had been abducted along the Lagos- Ibadan Expressway.

I like this. I hope technology gets cheap and everyone can implant chip so when you know you about to be kidnapped elevated adrenaline will send off a signal with your location..

Animals in human skin. And Madam, give that poor child and her father chair to sit now!!!. What is all this?!!!!

And they probably did naming ceremony/child dedication when this boy was born and all the prayers in this world were heaped on his head.

sweetkev:
I swear, that's the major problem. Spending more than 5 million for visa processing and other difficult procedures. Why can't they just do it like American visa lottery whereby people would be selected randomly after filling a form.

If you don't suffer for it, you might not value it.

Zoharariel:
When I was growing up, I used to be very crazy about all these designers clothings & accessories.

But as I grew older, I started gravitating towards 100% London Cottons like Thomas Pink, Hawes & Curtis, TM Lewin & Charles White. (I’m not talking about the fake TM’s that are being packaged and sold at Shoprite).

The problem I have with these kind of overrated LV shirt is that once I wear it once, I immediately lose the urge to wear it again.

If I had the money, would I buy expensive LV, Dior or Gucci shoes and belt? The answer is Yes.

But shirts, trousers, jackets, hoodie? Sango forbid bad thing.

I get your point. Cos clothing is so obvious and you can't be repeating shirts everyday.

Kobojunkie:
Why should God have answered your Davido's prayers?

Has your Davido been a faithful servant of God for God to owe Him an answer?

How can you expect to count on a God you blatantly refuse and reject every chance you get?

Una dey use una brain so?

Davido is just an example. Use your brain!!! Believers and unbelievers, faithful servants and unfaithful servants go through suffering and pain. What is now the benefit of knowing God if you are still suffering as unbelievers? And don’t mention eternal life!!!!

MaxInDHouse:
It's not by hypocritical prayers but doing things in the right way!

No make me laugh. He is waiting for us to get it right before he shows himself. Rotflmao

MaxInDHouse:
God can be perceived through intelligent reasoning, a kid can use his brains to decipher strange things happening when people are doing what they shouldn't have done without a SUPREME BEING controlling them.
The reason we can't see God is because God only makes Himself visible when pleased not on demand!

And all these years he has not been pleased by anybody abi? After all the mountains of prayers Nigerians have been sending to him.

Maynman:
what makes something visible? In order for something to be visible to the human eye, it needs to interact with light in the visible electromagnetic spectrum (about 400 - 700nm for humans).


Air can be measured and put in a vacuum.
I can carry air and store air.

A kid can use barometer and measure air without believing in any deity.

The reason we can’t see air is because air absorb light instead of reflecting.

We also know what air is and what it contains.
Air is mostly gas
It's a mixture of different gases. The air in Earth's atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen. Air also has small amounts of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen.

It seems one has to be dumb to be a deity worshipper

Good response.

MaxInDHouse:
Have you seen air before?
Does air exist?

I feel it on my face. I assure you if an unseen being holds my hand and i feel the pressure of his touch, i will also believe.

Sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. The five human senses. Can you see God, hear him, touch him, smell him, taste him??

I can't see air but i can feel it on my skin.

MaxInDHouse:
Imagine a person who disagree with the idea of a SUPREME BEING wanting to talk about the purpose of life!

The problem with atheists is the way they will be dodging questions but expecting you to answer all the questions that comes to their minds, i have dealt with him several times so he began running away from me using insults as a shield because he realized that i'm not interested in exchange of insults but intelligent talks which himself and all his professors in Atheism can't withstand!

Atheists don't dodge questions because they have nothing to prove. He who asserts must prove. People who say there is a God that cannot be seen with two naked eyes are the ones that need to prove it.

Image123:
It's not made up but the reality of many. The problem is that you think fulfillment is all about money or this life. We've met people with so much money and fame and power and are still miserable. i guess you're suffering from the disease of prosperity gospel syndrome where you think benefit of being a Christian is all about health and wealth. We have atheists regretting and weeping at the end of their lives like babies despite all the so called accomplishments. If only in this world you have hope, you are quite the miserable man.

Where do you see atheists weeping You have an overactive imagination!!!!
