That's why it's called a zoo

But a zoo is organized and the animals and people protected, well-fed, and well-kept. And no one robs or kidnaps anyone.
You people should find another word.

Allow me to explain why we are not making money, and it isn't just corruption



Sauce

That's the problem with Nigeria and why we cannot all benefit from oil windfall.

We spent 2014-date with chronically low oil prices, and debts were incurred, and now that the oil price has gone up, the debts have to be paid back

That is why PDP was unable to save oil money and APC Is having issues.


Nigeria needs to stop relying on oil, and start relying on industrial goods and services. And tax the gdp more. Anyting else means more borrowing.

You're making absolutely no sense.
Someone making 60K is suddenly making 120K and telling you he has less money and you believe him!

Hemanwel:
How?? When we are still heavily dependent on importation of fuel?

Importation of crude oil/refined oil means we will be buying at International-market-controlled price

Simple question: SO WHY IS IT WHEN PRICE OF CRUDE FALLS THEY SAY IT DESTROYED NIG BUDGET??!!

A 24-year-old Nigerian man has pleaded guilty in a U.S. court to using forged documents to fraudulently secure a student visa, enrol in a PhD programme, and obtain multiple benefits, including housing, a Social Security card, and financial support.

Mercy Ojedeji- a Nigerian from yoruba ancestry admitted to submitting counterfeit academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, a fake English proficiency report, and a falsified résumé to gain admission to the University of Missouri’s chemistry PhD programme in 2023. The documents also enabled him to obtain a student visa and a financial package worth over $49,000.
U.S. authorities say Ojedeji became the focus of a wider investigation into romance fraud after postal inspectors received complaints about cash and gift cards being mailed to his partner’s address.
Between December 2023 and early January 2024, at least 35 packages linked to Nigerian IP addresses were delivered to the address. Investigators say more than 190 packages were sent there during his relationship with the woman.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office claims that the intended financial loss could exceed $1 million, based on cash and items recovered from 17 of the seized packages. Ojedeji, however, continues to deny involvement in the romance scam itself.
He pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of using fraudulent immigration documents. He faces up to 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is set for July 10.

The case has drawn attention in West Africa, where similar fraudulent document schemes have raised concerns about the ease with which falsified records are used to exploit foreign admissions systems. It also highlights the broader implications of cyber-enabled fraud linked to parts of the region.

The investigation was led by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, with support from the FBI and local law enforcement.

Chai, he already had it made!
All he had to do was settle down and do his studies.
Those of us who'd have done just that will never get the opportunity because we don't know how to forge documents and scam!

SadiqBabaSani:
The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested a social commentator, Sani Waspapping also known with name 'Sarki' on X, SaharaReporters has learnt.

Sources familiar with the development told SaharaReporters that the DSS carried out the arrest was on Friday evening.

As of the time of filing this report, the exact charges against him remain unclear.

Friends and associates have since been demanding his release, stressing that citizens have the right to freedom of speech.

They allege that he was arrested because of his views around United States/Israel and Iran war, although SaharaReporters could not independently verify if that is the basis for the DSS arrest which friends have tagged as 'abduction'.

Whoever is behind Sani Waspapping arrest should release him to reunite with his family safely. Every Nigerian has freedom of speech; why censoring a citizen or arresting them," a Facebook user, Yusuf Ahmed Snup, wrote.

Another source familiar with the development, identified as AbdulSalam Ahmad, also wrote on X: "It is no longer a secret that, Sani Waspapping has been abducted by the DSS. From what we have gathered so far, on Friday evening around NEPA Roundabout in Kaduna."


"Waspapping was picked up alongside a friend who was later released. The arrest is allegedly linked to a post he made on X regarding the US and Israel.

"At the time, we deliberately chose to exercise restraint because some individuals came forward claiming they were “handling it” and assured us they were mediating behind the scene to secure his release. We gave them the benefit of the doubt."


"But it is now Tuesday, and Sani’s whereabouts remain unknown. We have also received information that he has been moved to an undisclosed location. At this point, it is becoming increasingly clear that some people are more interested in protecting their own positions and keeping their noses clean than actually doing what was necessary."

"Let me be honest: People in power can burn anyone if it helps them remain close to power. I know a lot of you might not agree with what Sani was doing and rightly so, I don’t either. Desperate times."


"Enough of the pretence.We are therefore calling on everyone who genuinely believes in justice and due process to step forward. Do what you must on your end, and we will do what we must on ours, because this situation is clearly getting out of hand."

"We call on the DSS and all relevant authorities to immediately release Sani Waspapping. If there are allegations against him, he must be formally charged and taken before a court of law without delay. Due process is not optional; it is a constitutional obligation."

"A team of lawyers is already being assembled to formally engage the DSS and other relevant authorities in order to establish the legal basis for his detention and demand accountability."

"Nigeria is a sovereign nation governed by law. Our institutions must operate within the framework of the Constitution, not in a manner that suggests arbitrary detention, external pressure, or disregard for fundamental rights."

I just bought a gallon for $3.19 in Staten island, NY. Mind you, a gallon equals about 3.8 liters. That would mean that a liter is about $1.

Me I stayed right here and simply used Google.

I can’t talk for now because I’ve received warning from Nairaland bots under this same thread

Continue your gimmicks

I think you're a nairaland mod in disguise.
I was going to come back and really read that thread, only to find it's been totally DELETED just because I teased u about it.
How can that happen unless u r a mod??
So much good advice I just skimmed intending to come back and read!

That's what he still says - they HAD more than anyone thought. Now they have nothing

Good looking guy
And smart too.

Nigeria is an evil forest

H'about zoo?

You can even sense the toxicity from here. Full of herself. There's a reason over 70% of AA women are unmarried. Other races have just as much if not more premarital sex. So scratch that

And you still call this place a country ? Trump was mild in his choice of word describing us

"Shıt Hole" is mild you say?
What do you suggest?
Everybody, what would you suggest as appropriate nickname for our dear country?

You lost... again.

As usual.

You will live to see the destruction of the synagogue of satan and its rogue state.

Lost? Give a link to this story on a major news outlet

I think it's a set up for content creation. There's no sugar daddy or man friend that looks married and be shouting come and record me....😂😆

Without giving a screw about his wife and kids and in-laws and Church and community!

YoungLionken:
Some of you don't read to comprehend. It is not a new attack but from the first attack by Iran on US foreign bases..

Again, some of you motivating Iranian leaders to their cheap deaths should thank your stars that Israel and the US are not like your Iran, who shoots missiles sporadically at every available directions. If so, the most remote village in Nigeria would by now, have more living souls and a bubbling city than Iran in terms of population and living conditions..

Meanwhile, ayatollah below after running his mouth for years...

Exactly. They deceitfully try to make it look like a new attack.
Iran has only succeeded in killing Americans ONCE - in that first initial strike. This death is from injuries from that!

MaxInDHouse:
It's OK my guy if you don't believe what the Bible says there is no need arguing aimlessly.
Joseph was handsome that's why his master's wife wanted to have sex with him surely if she was single and Joseph approached her she wouldn't have given it a second thought.
And regarding the sticks that turned into snakes this is what God's word said:

However, Pharʹaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and the magic-practicing priests of Egypt also did the same thing with their magic. Each one threw down his rod, and they became big snakes; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. Exodus 7:11-12

Please i'm sorry if my comments have made you annoyed but then you don't have to quote me if you don't believe in what is WRITTEN in the Bible!🙂

It was an ILLUSION! Demonic illusion but still illusion. Only God can create, only God can turn inanimate stck into living snake!

I told u, of all the countless marriages in the Bible u can't find a single one where the woman needed to fall in love for a man to marry her.
The question is not wether a woman can find a man attractive. I'm sure countless women were attracted to David and Samson.

Your comments are not annoying at all, just that they sound non-adult

MaxInDHouse:
They have learned their lessons but in modern times these demons still make bodies for themselves instead of forming bodies that are unknown they photocopy those who are still young but died that's why you are hearing of living dead getting married and having kids!

What lesson exactly did they learn?
They photocopy a dead person? Nothing wey person no go hear. So why then do they try to go into people when they can just photocopy??!

MaxInDHouse:
Women in Bible times also get attracted to good looking men:

He eventually left everything that was his in Joseph’s care, and he gave no thought to anything except the food he was eating. Moreover, Joseph grew to be well-built and handsome. Now after these things, the wife of his master began to cast her eyes on Joseph and say: “Lie down with me.” Genesis 39:6-7

So women in Bible times also love men who are good looking.


Magic is the work of demons so if they can make life snakes out of sticks then they can make bodies out of dust!

1.You were asked to cite where a man needed a woman to fall in love with him before he married her. You can't. Not even to just have sex with him
2. Magic is deception. The Eifel tower was there all along. Likewise stick did not actually turn into snake. It is called sleight of hand

MaxInDHouse:
The Bible said they took the ladies as wives for themselves and all that they choose. Common sense tells us that women don't marry just any man that speaks to them so those angels surely have what it takes to make any lady fall in love at first sight.
I asked you a question.

When God told Moses to cast his rod on the floor and it became a snake the magicians in Egypt did the same thing.
We know God is the one behind Moses but who was behind those magicians in Egypt because they turned sticks into snakes o!😟

1. Again, where in OT do you see a woman "fall in love" before a man married her - from Genesis all the way to Malachi? Even include NT
2. What prevents angels from still creating bodies and marrying human females?
3. Do you know the definition of "magician"? How do you think David Blaine made the Eiffel Tower disappear?
