A person cannot change from good guy to bad guy for any reasonable length of time, just as you can't change your nature. "Good guys" are not good by choice. That's who they are and any change is temporary and would be uncomfortable and fake!

ceragon123:
You did not mention weed? Abi that one no follow?

And alcohol

IGBOSON1:
I think you're just being unnecessarily pedantic! The word gangster has now evolved to mean much more than belonging to a criminal group, and now equally captures the actions and criminal disposition of the individual!

In any case, if we go along with your line of reasoning, Bonnie and Clyde could equally be said to be gang members of a two-man gang since there was two of them! Their story inspired this song by Beyonce and Jay-Z:

What is the engine size of bmw koja

For Koja specifically:
The BMW "Koja" (often referring to the E46 3 Series in some regions) usually features a 2.0-liter engine in common models like the 318i or 320i.
Common E46 (Koja) Engine: Many of these models, such as the 318i or 320i, use 4-cylinder engines like the N46, frequently 2.0 liters in size.
Other Potential Engines: Depending on the specific variant of the E46 (e.g., 325i, 330i), the engine could be a 2.5-liter or 3.0-liter inline-six.
It is highly recommended to check the specific car's VIN or engine bay to confirm the exact displacement.

BMW 320i Engine - Specs & Motor Options | CarsGuide
BMW engines primarily feature 2.0L TwinPower Turbo Inline 4-cylinder (255-HP) or 3.0L TwinPower Turbo Inline 6-cylinder (382-HP to 453-HP) engines. High-performance M models often use 3.0L or 4.4L V8 engines. Modern BMW, such as the 330i, uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.

Common Engine Sizes and Configurations:
1.5L Inline-3: Found in the BMW i8.
2.0L Inline-4: Standard in many 3 Series, 5 Series, and X-series models.
3.0L Inline-6: Used in performance models (e.g., M340i).
4.4L V8: Used in M5, M8, and larger X models.

Naming Convention: The number in the model name (e.g., 330i) usually refers to performance class rather than exact displacement.
Turbocharging: Almost all modern BMWs are turbocharged.
Engine Codes: Common engine codes include the B48 (4-cylinder) and B58/S58 (6-cylinder).

These people just find another narrative. Christians don't force conversion. They are mad.

phemmie06:
Why was the girl forced? Our religion is not by force but by will.

They're embarrassed to say the girl became a fervent Christian after she tasted Christianity and the guy had nothing to do with it!

Kingdomb:
You need to read about Meyer lansky and why he's number 5. Dude was a genius

Not more than Lucky Luciano who founded The Commission. See below.
Also, Myers Lansky was not Italian. He was a Jew

SeeWahala:
So you don't care about the ones who aren't from USA too? 🤔

Actually Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese are also Americans with Crime Families that bear their names in New York to this day!

mightyhaze:
Exactly!


Infact Bonnie n Clyde inspired most of these gangsters of 20s to 40s ..inspired so many crime fiction novels too. Their ruthlessness was unrivalled even though Bonnie looked quite plain,harmless and with an elaborate limp

Actually gangster can also mean any criminal but OP here means organized crime

mightyhaze:
them never dream to conceive u when i read my hundredth gangster / crime novel .

Answer the question.
Nobody said crime. Gangster! Organized crime!
Billy the kid, Oyenusi, Anini, were all famous but they were not organized crime!

mightyhaze:
Exactly!


Infact Bonnie n Clyde inspired most of these gangsters of 20s to 40s ..inspired so many crime fiction novels too. Their ruthlessness was unrivalled even though Bonnie looked quite plain,harmless and with an elaborate limp

Do you know the meaning of the word, gangster?
Which gang were Bonnie n Clyde members of??

Easyincome24:
Who among these makes your top 10 notorious gangsters of all time?

You left out Bumpy Johnson but included Frank Lucas his underling. Because Frank was portrayed in a movie. The power of movies!

Burob:
Mr man look 👀 before u comment, & don’t be in a rush to exhibit cluelessness, was I the one that mentioned 5 years .

The onus was on you to indicate you were jumping into a conversation of two people and tag both parties. Nobody keeps checking monikers in an on-going discussion

Burob:
87 months in federal prison equals 7 years and 3 months. With the standard 15% reduction for good behavior (54 days per year).

An inmate typically serves approximately 85% of the sentence, for 87 months this equates to roughly 74 months (6 years and 2 months) actually served behind bars, potentially with the final months in a halfway house or home confinement.

Key Details:
Total Time: 7.25 years (87÷12)
Time Served (Approx. 85%): ~74 months (6.16 years).
Good Conduct Time: Up to 54 days off per year.
Release: May include 6-12 months in a halfway house.

You were asked a simple question. Show us the math that arrives at 5 years.

Another thing, when discussing jail time you don't assume maximum time off and perfect good behaviour, otherwise you'd also take into account time served and appeals, in which case you could say he was sentenced to zero jail time!

Flangelo12:
Federal time.

Think.

So 87 months Federal time is 5 years. Can you explain to us how?

Think

zhike:
South Africans clearly said they don't want foreigners who is going to invest less than R5 million in their country. Actually foreigners can only come as investors or tourist , not to look for work.

First of all South Africa has no such "absolutely must" mandate.
Second of all how do you know the Nigerian you're killing and looting did not invest R10 million?

ufotunang:
..abi.. Nigeria is an ATM machine for our politicians..just withdraw enough money for yourself chop and enjoy the money and nothing happens to the politicians

Not only enjoy it, use it to run for office and eventually run for president

KIDfurniture:
This girl can never be on my good book again . Chai her sex tape that year ! I pity her son sha. They will show him that tape when em don grow and he wil curse his mama

Who gives a shít about your good book? Funny guy, because your mami never had s*x

chipet67:
Who df gives a hoot about your good book.

Abeg follow me ask am o

ufotunang:
This cannot happen in Nigeria

If it could Tinubu and 95% of Naija politicians would be in jail

ufotunang:
..in Nigeria the man would had been walking around freely enjoying his loot...

With $2.1m? Waking around my ass. He'd run for office and win!

Flangelo12:
From NNPC life to prison for 5 years.

No be small thing.

So 87 divided by 12 is 5?
Nairalanders know math well

DeLaRue:
It makes perfect sense.

A naira that rises too fast can be as damaging to the economy as one that falls too fast.

The secret to sustainable economic growth is stability. A slow but steady naira recovery is better.

If naira hits 1000 to a dollar too fast, Nigerian consumers will benefit hugely, but the biggest long term beneficiary will be China, as Nigerians will go back to importing everything under the sun from China. This will destroy our own manufacturing companies, and there will be tremendous job loses. Once cheap Chinese imports destroy our manufacturers, then we will effectively become an economic colony of China.

Remember too that if the naira rises too sharply, the record levels of non-oil exports we have had in the past 2 years will disappear as our produce becomes more expensive for foreign buyers. A strong naira makes our non-oil exports expensive for foreign buyers. They will look elsewhere to buy.

Economics is not a one way thing. For every positive, there are often potential negatives. It is the job of the CBN to manage conflicting possibilities.

I suspect the CBN will probably prefer naira to steadily rise to say around N1250 by end of 2026, N1100 by end of 2027, and N1000 by end of 2028. Steady as you go.

But the CBN will be under tremendous political pressure from APC leaders to allow naira to gain fast later this year so APC can go into 2027 elections saying 'We told you so...Mr Tinubu is an economic genius. Vote for him to perform more magic'.

It is what politicians all over the world do. Mr Trump has been trying to sack the American Central bank Governor for several months now because the Governor refused to cut interest rate as fast as Mr Trump wants.

😅 There is no "Central bank Governor" in America.

Also, you talk as if dollar will stay static

floss:
He might not be honest but give it to Tinubu… he won’t throw you under the bus if you do his bidding today…, but his softness towards terrorism is the biggest problem with his administration

He also recently lost his son. See below

loveth360:
Nigeria is an ev!il country.



There's reason God is punishing Nigeria

Why is He punishing Biafra?

SuperEagles:
Obi people filled with hate will claim it is AI.

The operative word is "looks"

Gerrard59:
I was thankful that he explained the concept rather than just accusing others of lying without expressing his side. As for divorce, nothing new about it in Islam. Kano has the highest rate of divorce in Nigeria. Apparently, the law/religion promotes easy divorce.

No mind am. Islam is all about saving marriage my arse.

This your signature sef. Ya think maybe it's time for an update?

By the time one goes through YouTube, X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Nairaland, etc what man has time for chat friendship with no possibility of leading to romance or s*x?
Good luck sha

zhike:
South Africans clearly said they don't want foreigners who is going to invest less than R5 million in their country. Actually foreigners can only come as investors or tourist , not to look for work.

They came and became EMPLOYERS - they established a business!!!
On what excuse do you go in there and kill them??

Gerrard59:
This is much better and thank you for your explanation.

It is a deceptive explanation. If Islam is all about saving marriages ask DesireV why the divorce rate in the capital of Islam (Saudi Arabia) is so high

Kobojunkie:
Islam is a religion that is built on the ideas of 7th century, not the 16th century, Arab man with a complex who believed himself to be the perfect model for all of humanity. Mohammedans are individuals who strive to live according to the ideals of this same 7th century man, following his every command and teachings. 🥱

In normal course of things wouldn't this be considered some sort of madness?
