Thank you for this assessment. I often wonder what is wrong with us, seeing how we carry party politics for head while the politicians can easily and freely move from one party to the other with ease, often for the sole purpose of remaining in power and stealing our commonwealth.
APC, PDP, LP and whatever new party forms tomorrow does not really matter, because there are no ideological differences. Simply different associations of individuals with the sole aim of attaining power for individual and family fortunes.

Minjim:
They play!

These politicians are all united with similar interests - to loot our resources into penury.

You saw those celebrating IBB yesterday. So if you think tomorrow some politicians will investigate Tinubu, you're joking . Nigerians are not yet ready for that peradym shift. We are still busy fighting ourselves on religious and ethnic grounds.

His repentance is fully and duly noted, and his dis-inclination to return to a life of crime is applauded.

All that notwithstanding, please send this repentant kidnapper and murderer to a minimum of life in prison if the death penalty is not available. Better yet sentence him to death. We have the National Orientation Agency and his full punishment to use in teaching young ones and others to desist from crime.

Afolue:
and what is wrong with him just making up his mind to marry a second wife than to be living in fears all his life

He will still cheat on both the 1st and 2nd wives with another side chick.

The headline was exciting, even inspiring until I read these two lines and realized this is just propaganda as these are the two numbers hard nosed investors will look critically at:

Pre-tax profit: N4.1 billion,

Post-tax loss: N302.7 million

Not saying these results are bad, but it's not Uhuru yet

For the tribal bigots, this internet thingy is available worldwide and with small data, you can investigate who these arrested criminals are.
According to that Internet thingy, "The leader of the gang is identified as Enoch Odubanjo, a British-Nigerian drug gang leader."

This looks like a fake crime to me. Is the EFCC arguing that there are real spiritualists on the Internet?

Calitoscassius:
So what exactly would all these you listed going to do? These are just regular food substances they are not antibacteria treatment. Or antibiotic. It is like recomending salt, pepper, lemon, avocado or cassava.

Those indeed are actually considered to be natural antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.

See the life of a poor man, no respect, no dignity.

This life.

Someone owes us an explanation, and maybe an updated manual, because what's the point of this poor man's life of hustle and struggles?

Chevrolet076:
Can you imagine? Very stupid thieves and they'll be calling them Yahoo boys. They steal, kidnap and cause great pains to people, yet Nigerians still worship them even the pea sized brain girls will say they prefer Yahoo boys to other people.

I hope the appropriate judgement is meted to them. Bastards that do not have any reasonable reason for keeping them alive

Who cares what the pea-sized brain girls say? Are you a simp? You choose a lifestyle that confirms with your beliefs - and I'm certain there's still a substantial portion of Nigerian Youths not moved by ill-gotten wealth, both males and the females, that you should be paying attention to. And in that subset you will also see young beautiful moral minded girls who will refuse to associate with a yahoo boy, not to talk of dating one.

As an aside, it just occurred to me that perhaps in addition to hammering the girls lusting after yahoo boys, we should also recognize and address the men that ignore humble good women and instead only have eyes for slay girls.

I think perhaps it's not God that kills us but rather the natural consequences of our life choices. Just like virtue is it's own reward in that you will experience inner peace, loving a life of thuggery and armed robbery is liable to leave one with a tormented soul and a painful early death.
Hence every evil act stains the soul and overtime, it has been calloused and overtaken by darkness and evil. This corrupted soul recognizes it's corruption and pre-emptively avoids God and goodness. Hence it has condemned itself to hell-an existence outside of God.

This is of course, one of several plausible ways to look at it.

Mugu44:
So "God" created man.
Gave man freewill.
Then kill man for exercising the freewill He gave man.

As an educated person, does this make sense to you?

Myrepublic:
Him man turn you to CL .

Ph .. G Elu K. Delta again.

Then look at how the person you pay his bills look,and you still allowed him. Birds of a feather 🪶.

I have nothing else to say..

Exactly what I was thinking. Who else would trust someone looking like this with a new GLK in this economy?

They should have released this young man right away. He had stayed in prison beyond what is conscionable punishment for the crime he was spelled to have committed. Keeping him in prison until 2025 and describing that as an act of mercy opens a window into the hardened minds of these men administering injustice.

[The legal expert urged the bar and bench to identify the bad and corrupt ones, bring them to justice, and flush them out of the system lest they rubbish other good practitioners.

He called on the judiciary stakeholders to join the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, to sanitise the entire judiciary system.

Olanipekun enjoined the bar to stop all means of attacking judges, especially in the media.]

So how many bad and corrupt ones have you encountered in your long and storied career? And how many have you enabled and how many have you reported? And while still on the topic, what have you done to flush out the bad ones from the system and do you really want the system sanitised? Oh and this sanitization should not include attacking the same corrupt judges in the media and exposing their transgressions to the sanitising sunlight of public exposure and disgrace they deserve. Thank you very much, most highly honorable SAN. Can we kindly depart from empty words in this our country and stop lying to ourselves.

Iceking1:
Okay I will try to buy a new abs so my speedometer will start working again.

Hope you realize that these are two different things: abs and speedometer. Whether your abs is working or not should not cause the speedometer to malfunction. You probably need to fix your speedometer first then the abs later when you can afford it if you drive carefully. If I were you I would download the owners manual and scan through it.

I really regret supporting this man in his fight with the NMDPRA/NNPC. How can he want the government to ban the importation of a product solely for his benefit? Was that the financial basis for his refinery to be profitable? Well we didn't agree to that.

If imported petrol is cheaper than the locally made one, we will use the imported one and he can sell to the international market as a businessman. NNPC has even raised prices to accommodate him and he's still not satisfied. He wants a monopoly so he can raise the prices even more.

Even if you feel compelled to give your first fruits, give it to your poor and struggling neighbors, give it to the destitute in society that are struggling to survive without expectation of a reward so your Father in Heaven can bless you. Give to the old widows struggling to raise small children.
In fact, even if you didn't feel compelled to, still give to these people and not one kobo to any pulpit bandit.

This is very similar to claims people have made that the American FBI was founded unconstitutionally. We need an agency like the EFCC, except this present organization seems to have lost it's way and also appears to have been compromised by the rich and mighty, so they only get to flex on small boys. But reforming the EFCC is not on the agenda for T-Pain, only mandatory weight loss for the citizens through his economic policies. Wait a minute, this might be T-Pain's health policy!

Babangidapikin:
Definitely you need a little power to start the rotation , that doesn't make it a scam . Provided you can gain a higher power.

If you can gain even 1% power that would be great. Unfortunately the laws of this universe as we know it at present make that impossible and rather guarantee you will lose power over time, not gain power. Entropy always tends to maximum, meaning power loss is guaranteed unless you spend more power to keep the system going.

If you have data to burn, here's a YouTube link featuring these old and recycled 'innovations': https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=free+energy+generator

This guy gets it. This is nothing but a scam - YouTube is full of such examples. My neighbor is even planning on building one just to test the YouTube examples he was watching and I have tried to convince him this is impossible as it violates the laws of thermodynamics. But he wants to find out himself. You simply rotate a coil in a fixed magnetic field, or rotate the permanent magnets around a coil like a DC motor and this induces some low current but can generate high voltage. The unspoken part is you need energy to perform this rotation, and assumes no energy loss due to heat or friction, a 100% conversion from kinetic to electrical energy with low barely usable current. So they hide a battery in the contraption to provide this starting energy and voila, free energy generator! A true 21st century perpetual motion machine to scam the less knowledgeable. PURE SCAM.

thepoweruser:
Okay, it's been nearly three years since I've logged in on Nairaland lol.
But I must say, I cannot help but jump into this conversation.

You see, the mistake many of you fail to understand is that this invention of a fuelless generator is actually an ambiguous statement.

Now, what do I mean by this?
Well, it depends on context. You see, a portable power station or solar inverter is indeed a "fuelless generator". This is because it uses stored electrical energy to produce electricity.

Now @Babangidapikin your analogy is incorrect because a car running on water isn't "fuelless". At least from my understanding derived from my background in engineering (albeit electrical), if you want to build a moving vehicle that runs on hydroelectric power, you would need a vehicle that is too large to be practical. So essentially you will have to use the water to generate electricity in some other way than its kinetic energy (i.e. turning a turbine).
So, let's assume we have a "fuelless generator" that uses water. How do we generate power?

One way to do this is to use a fuel cell. An electrochemical reaction could be used to split the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is what is used in the fuel cell to power the vehicle's electric motor, whole the oxygen can be stored for use for either the braking system or ventilation or released as exhaust. However, this requires splitting the water molecules first, which requires energy. How do you separate hydrogen and oxygen from water other than that? Well, you could use thermolysis (requires heat), metal reactants (will increase weight and thus reduce efficiency, plus sodium and potassium aren't exactly cheap lol) or photolysis (too freaking slow).

Note that I didn't say anything about turning a turbine wheel with your borehole water. You can definitely build an electric generator from such a setup but you need to pump the water too. Okay, in theory you could rig a setup where the generator also pumps it's water as it runs but it's gonna seriously reduce the effective power generated because you lose additional energy pumping the water, infact, you will have a system that will fail because it used the energy used to generate electricity to merely pump water. And it's a machine, so there's friction, heat etc. So, mission failed.

Or you can use a battery powered inverter to charge another battery inverter that is also charging the inverter to create a two-way system. But as anyone who has used a power bank knows, you will eventually run out of stored energy even if both batteries are charging themselves.

Those of you who understand engineering or thermodynamics can see where I'm heading with this. And some of you sharp-eyed readers can pick the meat of what I am trying to say: this individual is obviously talking about a free energy generator. Now that's completely impossible, because of two laws that all engineering students are intimately familiar with (science students too) : the first and second laws of thermodynamicsz which are actually very similar to the law of conservation of matter in a way.

The first law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be changed from one form to another. This simply means that you cannot pull energy out of nowhere; you must create it from something. Also it means that you can transfer energy from heat to do work, but the total energy of the system does not change

The second law states that the total total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time. This simply means that whenever work on a machine, no matter how well lubricated or no matter how few moving parts is performed (while it is running) some energy is always lost. In essence, no energy system is 100% efficient. These two laws make such free energy generators impossible.

Sorry for the long epistle, I just wanted to set the record straight.

Agree to an extent but the fear mongering aspect is only for the lazy. True over should should these exorcist those who are weak willed, and even those who are not are paving the paths of their destruction. Having said that, anyone who embarks on such journey must become a master himself and not rely on repeating words and incantations someone else told him but he does not understand. You must learn how to control and trap those spirits yourself. It's hard work and eventually mistakes will be made that will set them free and they will torment your life, so it's better not to start that journey at all.

But there are some who promise to teach how to control the beings. I have read their works and also read about their ends. Can a man control an entity that has existed for thousands of years, and is much wiser and patient than a man? The long and short answer is no. A patient man will not start that journey, neither will a wise man, because your soul will be tainted and the spirits will own you forever.

It's better to strive for gold than to settle for shiny bronze colored metal that will rust. Both take same effort, and getting the gold gives peace of mind too. God Almighty is that gold.

Eriokanmi:
The Pikin wey no sabi leaf used in making jazz, na him dey call am vegetables . Charm is real guy. But it's not the best way to gain stardom cos the aftermath is always brutal. I pity portable in 4-5 years to come. It comes at a great cost. Someone some years ago encouraged me to do arabmoney rituals. Money wouid just appear in your room as you want it and it will continue for as long as you keep doing the rituals to appease the spirit that brings the money. Some months later, he became rich. He had 3 wives and the momey was so much. He was busy buying cars and building houses. They gave him chieftaincy titles, etc. Suddenly everything began to go down. Today, is a mad man, living in one of the popular market. If I mention the place, people may know him. Those who joined him to do it have either died mysteriously or run mad after a few years of fame.

Unfortunately those herbalists doing the charm for them won't tell them the repercussion and they'd never join them in spending out of that ritual money. Same applies to those seeking fame the charm way.

Because that's the intent. Believe it or not he's evangelising for his side.

Omoapena:
Lolz, so because I bear the name means I should be fetish too.

Don't sweat it, it's just a name and mind you, people don't go to mountain to do evil to people, it is always traditional people that do evil to people.

I am not even saying he shouldn't do whatever he wishes to do with his life, but why make it public, Social media is influencing the young people towards the wrong doing, imagine someone related to you sees this video and also start looking for ways to approach herbalist all because he thinks he can't make it without approaching herbalist...

So this learned useful idiot does not mislead others, here's Leviticus 6-10 in full:


6 “Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household. 7 Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8 He is to cast lots for the two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.[b] 9 Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering. 10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat.

You do make very good points. I hadn't looked at it from this angle and now that I do, it makes more sense. One easily assumes that if the colonialists hadn't left, there would have been more development but the facts do indicate the opposite indeed.

Rossikk:
YOU ARE AN UTTER DISGRACE.

Why don't you go and bleach your skin since there are no white people around you, you self-hating cretin?

THE ONLY REASON YOU CAN READ AND WRITE TODAY IS BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE CAME TO POWER IN 1960.

WE GOT INDEPENDENCE IN 1960, following which thousands of public schools were built across the nation, by THE BLACK GOVERNMENT.

The British built NO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

There was just a tiny handful of ''missionary schools'' set up by their priests.

AT INDEPENDENCE, after 60 YEARS of British rule, Nigeria's Literacy Rate was 5%.

YOUR GRANDPARENTS WERE VILLAGE ILLITERATE PEASANTS FOR A REASON.

The BRITISH LOOTED YOUR ECONOMY.

Today, Literacy Rate is 75% and climbing, courtesy of BLACK RULE.

Nigeria's FIRST power plant was KAINJI DAM, commissioned by the Balewa administration in 1964.

The BRITISH had used imported industrial generators to power their GRAs like Ikoyi.

THE REST OF Nigeria used CANDLES until independence.

So if the British had stayed longer, you would be 100 TIMES BEHIND WHERE YOU ARE TODAY.

One thing you white-worshipping CRETINS need to understand is that the VERY REASON for colonisation is to loot your economy for the colonising country's benefit.

They didn't loot South Africa because they regarded it as 'their' country and settled there en masse due to the temperate climate. So they actually built infrastructure with the export earnings from at least the 1860s!!

THAT is why South Africa is developed today and other African countries are developing.

This is simply daylight robbery being perpetrated on the masses. No less than half of the money being borrowed will be stolen.

She's right but should have sent lower level representatives to effect that clarification. It's a bit beneath her as a Minister of the Federation.

I'm beginning to like this bitch called karma. So this useful idiot believed he cannot be investigated by the Senate or sacked by the President because he's who again? The compensation he received from Buhari should suffice to keep him comfortable for the rest of his life.

Don't forget this lying government said the protesters were being led by faceless people. Yet they knew the names and home addresses of the these 'faceless leaders'

I don't mind the useless idiots. I won't even join issues with myopic louts who only see what they can eat today but are invisible of even thinking about tomorrow not to talk of the future. When that future rolls around, we will all see that even fools grow old. Continue with the paid propaganda that even a blind man can see right through.
Dangote's refinery will and must succeed, whether the detractors like it or not. They're sad bitter haters and sadly, abound in every society. Too bad we couldn't lock them up in an isolated village and let their animalistic nature lead to their destruction for our enjoyment and the betterment of society.

Who conducted this test, who independently verified the integrity of this test, and why is the report testing against EU standards? Why not compare against ECOWAS and Nigerian standards? Nonsense cash and carry lab results.
The levels some will descend to sabotage and de-legitimize the first massive private sector domestic investment in Nigeria is astounding. Let's keep importing products and exporting dollars, jobs and technical competence while wailing there are no jobs in Nigeria and naira is falling. Simply unbelievable.

I thought Wike said giving water to protesters was an act of sabotage against the administration? Especially when done by a senator?
Anyways props to the police doing this. It's an act of humanity and the protests doesn't mean they're against Tinubu being president, rather he needs to adjust his policies in light of their impacts on the poor in our society. I know, nuances and shit
