A message of love for the two of you.... "Hustle hard (and smart) so you dont just sit down hating on others who have gotten their heads well above water"

One thing both of you acknowledge is the fact that no one knows who the chopper came to pick, we dont know if its even a medical emergency. But strangely, many people just seem to assume the mystery person is an enemy causing their problems?

Your thinking and views about issues are personal but to assume that I am not hardworking and lazy can best fits into your imagination. No one is talking about beef here . All we are doing here is to look at issues from another point of view. So tell me if you were also there, you would have gone to the chopper for a selfie, a typical of our mentality. We hail people who are suppose to manage our resources and common wealth. They are manager and not owners.

Secondly, you supposedly concorted that it could be a medical ambulance or sort. Bro wake up and ask for wisdom from God. I don't expect this from you. Don't let anyone stereotype your thinking along their parochial way of thinking. The vehicle in questions an a private one and another of people are also sick in that traffic jam. Many more would still loose their lives to highway robbers and avoidable accidents. During to bad road and insecurity.

A parting word. I want o quote Jesus Christ on the cross.
"woman cry for your children"
Don't bother about me just use the same advice you gave me in the beginning to work hard...... Good luck

There is something that I find a bit strange with this news. It’s the mentality of the people: those around the scene, the so called celebrities who reacted and majority of online comments.

In Nigeria we seem to normalise absurdity and praise stupidity or vice versa.
No one has said anything about the cause of that prolonged traffic problem along that road instead the focus has been on ‘wealth, big boy, money pass money, level pass level’. That to me if the real ‘poverty mentality’.

For a country that lack emergency services, where accident victims or very ill persons do not have access to decent ambulance services, where RTA victims would be packed in a hot open back pick up trucks, where no one cares less or doesn’t seem to mind the problems and potential dangers which that chopper posed to the vehicles and people around that scene....the noise, the dusts, the panic. I find it strange.

Did this ‘rescue’ unplugged and airlifted his vehicle from that scene? If not, I pity the poor chauffeur driving this man to wherever.

The one thing I saw or learnt from this experience is the reinforcement of the belief that in a difficult situation, those with means and resources will find ways of escaping the horrors, damn the people around and find their way to safety and comfort while the awkward and bad scenario persists.

Focus should be on finding a way to end the perennial inconveniences which travellers go through in Nigeria.

God bless you insightful thought. I wrote something similar and their boys here just came up almost immediately. I pity this country

for him pocket....kokan aye

sugacoatedmouth:
Is the billionaire is nameless

Exactly. My thoughts

Bar1941:
The people around should have prevented the helicopter from taking him, he must have in one way or the other contributed to the sorry state of the road, he equally needs to taste the bitter soup the poor masses swallow on a daily basis.

What kind of comment is this?

is he the minister of works?
or the permanent Secretary?

Johnydon22 why does the helicopter fan look like its slowing down ot even going anti-clockwise when the heli is about to take off?

Well that is the story of Nigeria

PotatoSalad:

Don't mind him bro. It's the typical Nigerian mentality. Next thing you'll hear is "God pick up my call" or "I tap into his blessings"
Palm wine tapper

Well that is the story of Nigeria

magicminister:
I doubt the authenticity of this video. How was the helicopter able to locate them from a cruising altitude? Was there some form of indicator which I’m not seeing in the video.

If this video is real, why are most commenters “tapping into the blessing” instead of condemning this flagrant disregard for Traffic laws and norms??

Most Nigeria see money and they forget themselves.

lmao nwanne

We now worship money in our society overtime

ekene247:


So what should we do now?

Next news will be like "the billionaire who was picked with helicopter is ..."

Then another news will be like, "see the children of the billionaire who was picked by helicopter"

Useless topics making front page

The blades has jerked up some degrees above its initial position.

Happens to most wheels Even car tires.

..

philip0906:

Do you by any chance know who the airlifted person is? Why are you bitter because he/she was airlifted? Oh! you're part of the crew who think everyone who lives above the poverty line in Nigeria is part of your problem and misery? So your head tells you EVERY wealthy Nigerian is part of the mess the country is in today?

Some of us are working our butts off to live way above the poverty line, putting in the shift legitimately. We want and will be wealthy, and it will be foolhardy that when it's time to count scores, one dunce somewhere who spent his time hating ALL rich people will come out yelling about how I was a part of his problem.

Well that is another way of looking at it...

Not every rich man is responsible for the mess in Nigeria

But then....

Flagrant displays should be discouraged sha, even tho it is not illegal

Well said. Nigeria - the land of absurd.

I bet it's not Yoruba. Most Yoruba's that have money have their own rout...Lagos/Ibadan not Lagos/Benin. Na Igbo man period

You forget he could be going to his girlfriend's house!

Only poor childish and myopic people fight over ethnicity!

EVILFOREST:
LAGOS is FINISHED NIGERIA is Gone

lmao

shadeyinka:

You forget he could be going to his girlfriend's house!

Only poor childish and myopic people fight over ethnicity!

Yoruba folks cross that road to the south east too
or at least take a flight there

alleging most Yoruba don't use that route is indeed myopic on the part of the person you quoted

A chartered chopper is about 10-15k
I like this, so that the masses can see how stuck their lives could be in the mess we created.. Next time vote wisely


This is just an example of how the rich and political lord would leave you and your children in the face of war.


Nigerians wake up

What did you say? 10-15k?

Once again I ask you, how exactly did you identify the person the chopper came to pick up?.... For this unidentified passenger, how did you come to this conclusion that the person must be a politician or a political leader? Cos that's all you seem to be talking about.

And what exactly did you mean by parochial way of thinking?... What do you mean by "plenty people would still lose their lives to armed robbers on the highway"?... You're obviously bitter and harbour a prejudice against whoever it is that that chopper came to pick, even though you dont know the person.. You clearly need help!

I dont know you, but the reason I teased you about working hard is because, I'm positive that if you had a certain level of affluence, you wouldnt automatically concluded that the person that chopper came to pick must be linked to politics.

And as for me taking selfies, yes! if I was there, I would surely have taken a selfie because it's an interesting and unusual sight to see a chopper land on the expressway to pick someone, especially in Nigeria; I would love to have a picture memory of it, and that has nothing to do with me hailing or admiring anyone. Even in the most developed countries, people would quickly pull out their phones to take selfies if they saw this...

Meanwhile, God has already blessed me with considerable wisdom. I could use some more though, but not because you say so.

Good punish poverty...

johnchins:
My brother hustle o... Hmmm, hustle! Make helicopter no come pick person leave you

Basiljoe:

If there's no name tag to this so "billionaire" then is fake news except for the fact that we know the person they picked up with the helicopter might be important or carrying secret of important person.
