DEPRESSEDD: It is such a horrible thing for one to be depressed as such could lead to one thinking about lots of things including suicide, that's exactly what I'm passing through now.
I am currently working in an organization where I am been paid 55,000 monthly which I'm managing as it could barely sustain me in this economy but I have searched, asked online on any online side hustle I could do to boost my income but all efforts seems futile.
I received my salary around 51,000 after all deductions including tax on the 30th of this month but as I speak to you right now, I'm penniless. I am the type of person who strive to make more income with the little I have. I have tried sport betting in the past but it wasn't fruitful. I tried forex and online stock trading of a thing and that's what ruined me presently.
When my salary entered my account, I already listed all I would need but the money couldn't reach anywhere, so I thought of looking for. a means of increasing it but all went down the drain. Now I'm back at square zero.
The month is still new, I just don't know how I will cope, no foodstuff at home, no money for transport, my transport used to be 300 a day but now it 400. I just don't know how I am going to cope. I'm just tired if everything.
Sincerely, I already contemplated on suicide but I was just scared of: 1. My single mom and I'm all she's got, no other sibling and she's also struggling in her private teaching job. Funny thing is I do send her something too out of my salary but right now....
2. Where I would spend my eternity, Hell.. I don't want to go to hell.
I am typing this with tears in my eyes, I need help, I really need help.
I can provide all evidence here in case u need to believe me. I am not a scammer, I am just a guy who lost all while trying to make my income sufficient for me.
I know I messed up, I bleeped up, It's all my fault and I have learnt my lesson.
tsdarkside: people have been sayin for years to end this subsidy scam.... somebody has the balls to actualy end it and you still complain....
no wahala....
Igbos are complaining?? The dumboids fighting that were indicated as subject matter to this thread, are they not Yoruba like you?? Or is there any filling station right now you’re getting fuel for cheap by showing your deeply dented forehead as ID?? So tell me why you lots are always on Igbo preek all the time over something everyone is clearly suffering from ??!
Chucks13: Bro you are right. Before I used to think the North are Nigeria problem but the last election clearly showed to me the SE (my own people) are number one Nigeria problem, I say this with no reservation or apology.
Nothing in life pleases them, nothing you will do they will appreciate, overly arrogant, extremely hateful, filled with pride, so disrespectful, extremely tribalistic and politically dangerous.
Unfortunately I doubt if other Nigerians will ever wish to see any igbo man contest for presidency ever again obi scenario is the worst political miscalculation in Nigeria history from the SE. Haba!!!
Is there no Edo, igala, Tiv, Ebira, Ijaw, idoma, Nupe, Kanuri, Fulani, Yoruba, Hausa etc in Nigeria? Why only igbo possessed so shocking and strange genes very alien to other Nigerans pls why?
Every little thing they will insult you, rude to you, disrespect anybody, hate everybody, everybody is nobody except them, extremely bigot, land they can't sell to you, business you can't do in the region peacefully if you are not from igbo extracion etc
Even after everything that’s going on right now in the country, the Yoruba Mozulem will always make out time to suck igbo preek. Is it Igbo that is causing the fuel queues and increase in prices or is it that you and your clan of subhumans like to confuse dangerous stupidity for sophistication??
Azeemokoya: A public affairs commentator, Reno Omokri, has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the removal of fuel subsidy.
Omokri via his Twitter handle described the removal as a bold move and called on opposition parties to support it.
Recall that Tinubu during his inaugural speech, said subsidy had gone and can no longer be sustainable in Nigeria.
The 49-year-old said his principal, Atiku Abubakar would have done the same thing if he had been inaugurated as Nigeria’s president.
Reacting to Nigeria’s complaints about the removal, he stated that all presidential candidates in the just concluded February 25th election vowed to remove the subsidy, except Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
He wrote: “But why are some Nigerians complaining about the removal of fuel subsidy? All Major Presidential candidates, except Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, publicly said they would remove it on day one of being sworn in.
lekkie073: Elisabeth Kluber-Ross developed a brilliant model that has become a psycho-analytical tool for evaluating the various stages of grief accompanying the manifestation of loss in the deep recess of the human mind. Faced with a turbulent event or scenery, a persona begins to experience overwhelming emotions deeply rooted in a perceived loss or malignant fate. At the core of this process, the human mind transverses certain stages of emotional wavelengths that, put together, form the basis of experiencing intense sorrow, which is sometimes self-inflicted or self-induced.
The disposition to gravitate from one stage to another within this hypothetical ladder is the foundation upon which the Kluber-Ross model was built. Needless to say, human beings are social animals; the society wherein we relate often plays a crucial role in our psychological well-being. The tendency for a person to exhibit clearly identified patterns of behaviour becomes clearer when the object of study has been analysed to the point of understanding the rationality behind his or her evident irrationality. This irrationality often results in a caprice for the sufferer as he or she commutes from the originating point of mis-action to the latter stages, owing to a perception borne out of a desire to be logical, albeit in an illogical manner.
The 2023 elections have come and gone; however, Nigerians are still glued to a season of euphemistic syllogism, thanks to one section of the populace who seem to have developed a knack for online vampirism, perhaps suffering from Renfield’s syndrome. However, when one goes deep to analyse these overly aberrant behaviours, the only conclusion to arrive at is that the afore-mentioned strata of individuals are deeply entrenched in various stages of grief, as purported by Elizabeth Kluber-Ross. Grief as we know, is never easy to overcome, especially when the object of the sufferer’s fixation makes him or her emotionally downcast and unable to accept reality.
DENIAL Denial is a defence mechanism that is initiated as a means to temporarily avoid the pain of a loss. The feeling of denial started with the erroneous belief that there is a Saint amongst the pool of candidates vying for the nation’s highest elective position. Being the first stage of grief, denial confers on the sufferer the inability to comprehend the reality of the situation. The refusal to compare the achievements of two former governors vying for the presidency position is a symptomatic codification of harbouring denial. In trying to defend the indefensible, we hear stories of how one governor was opportune to govern a state with economic prosperity, and the other was unlucky. However, the proponents of such maladious comments failed to understand that the perceived unlucky one was the governor of a state with great potential to be economically great. Give Anambra of 2007 to a visionary leader, and the story would not be the same in fifteen years. Unfortunately, the grief sufferers were never ready to accept any alternative viewpoints that point to the shortcomings of their political deity. All through the campaigning process, they exhibited a vehement refusal to accept any negative information or criticism about him. However, the denials will continue, evoking strong hostility towards anyone who holds on to such thoughts. However, what one cannot deny is the fact that Tinubu’s acute understanding of governance and politics. Pretending not to know the major inputs that Tinubu has contributed to the development of institutions in Lagos state is a gross showcase of denial that borders on the diagnosis of grief feelings. Rather than accept the reality of the electoral loss, the grief sufferers continue to look for a stolen mandate; this is funny coming from the supporters of a candidate who came a distant third.
ANGER When emotions become accentuated by denials, anger sets in. Anger is a perfect response expected from one suffering from grief. Anger infuses the grief sufferer with fiery energy, often short-lived; at this stage, the sufferer begins to question everything, from the process that resulted in the loss to the bystanders and observers that were aloof while the loss situation pervaded. Anger can also stem from a strong attachment to an ideology or a personality so much that any criticism meted on such objects or subjects is personalised by the grief sufferer. The psychologist, Dr. Josell, noted that anger leads to the manifestation of blame. How on earth should a non-sitting politician be blamed for the woes of a country? Tinubu, upon leaving the seat of administration in Lagos, has guarded the state administration by presenting to the people of Lagos successive performers that have taken the state further away from being compared to any other state in Nigeria. The grief sufferers will not agree; they prefer to harp on the false belief that Tinubu sold Buhari to Nigerians. They forget that Buhari was sold to Nigerians by Tinubu and Saraki, Kwankwaso, Atiku and many others across the country. It is common to try to give a dog a bad name to hang it. That you are angry at police brutality does not justify attacks on someone else personal businesses; unless peradventure, it is the proceeds of such businesses that are used to pay the brutal policemen. When an individual suffers from grief, Dr. Josell said, the manner of anger exhibited becomes less sensible. Anger also leads to the exhibition of verbal invectives. From insulting a man’s old age to assassinating his character, the sufferers of grief left no stone unturned to let the whole world know they are not in their best mental states. The failure to accept fate led to the deployment of tirades to make the president-elect look less human. Anger is a useful tool for masking the grief sufferers’ emotions since it is far easier to exhibit madness rather than sit alone in profound sadness, to lick the wounds emanating from the loss.
BARGAINING Bargaining as a stage of grief, is characterised by attempts to negotiate or seek compromise in order to change the outcome of an event. Since denial and anger could not make their dreams come true, the grief sufferers moved to the next stage on the ladder; bargaining. Bargaining provides an avenue for the grief sufferer to seek means of controlling the situation and the loss, in essence, struggling to negotiate a way out of the unfortunate situation. According to a professional counsellor, Tasha Holland-Kornegay (Ph.D.), the essence of bargaining is to prevent the expected outcome or loss. Bargaining presents a faint hope for the grief sufferer; in this case, instituting lawsuits and court proceedings to disenfranchise an already elected president from contesting in an election that has been won. In the case of their symbol, bargaining became eminent when, rather than present facts that he won the election, he embarked on a whirlwind journey of character assassination, churning out bovine vociferations all in a bid to persuade the election tribunal to disenfranchise an already elected president. To make the scenario more laughable, the grief sufferers went to the hills and the mountains, praying and cursing, telling a non-existent audience that the tribunal would give back a stolen mandate to the candidate that came third in a race; humour at its best. Perhaps, the grief sufferers believed that a wanton display of emotions was enough to sway the tribunal’s verdict to favour their ill-objectivist agenda to derail an electoral process that, although it may have had its flaw, provided a glimpse of an institution headed in the right direction.
DEPRESSION When the reality of vanity in the choice of bargaining tool fails to work, the grief sufferers move to the stage of depression, a long-lasting sadness occasioned by the reality of the situation that the loss has come to stay. Fuelled by feelings of despondence, owing to the reality of the setbacks witnessed during the tribunal seatings, the grief sufferers become disillusioned by the knowledge that their personal investments in a failed political project is akin to someone who only succeeded in labouring in vain. The grief sufferers eventually begin to accept the reality of the loss, although this is accompanied by a high degree of psychological challenges. At this point, they come to terms with what to expect for the future. In the next four years, the grief sufferers are expected to despair about all moves and policies of the incoming administration. The sadness that overwhelms their mental systems will culminate in a lethargic and diminished joy, making it harder for them to see beyond their hate by objectively analysing the merits of every policy rolled out by the new administration whose leadership they have come to loath. Rather than embark on cognitive behavioural therapy to help them examine their thoughts and actions to regain control over their emotions, the depression will only fuel their angst as they continue to trivialise issues based on their ethereal exigencies. Emotions are often difficult to change since they are wired to the innermost parts of the brain; expecting the grief sufferers to adopt objectivity when analysing the new administration’s policies is equivalent to the biblical rendition of a camel passing through the eye of a needle.
ACCPETANCE Eventually, one thing that cannot be changed is the fact that bearing an act of God or the occurrence of any uncontrollable event, the president-elect will steer the administration of the next four years in close synergy with the vice-president. It is expected that any sane individual, irrespective of the grief he or she might have passed through, should accept this reality and stabilise their emotions by kowtowing to the reality of the situation. The fog created by an extreme dislike for the persona occupying the highest leadership position of the country needs to be cleared for the grief sufferers to nurture positive thoughts about the country’s future, knowing well enough that thoughts or negativity will never replace the president with their perceived messiah. Acceptance, as a final stage of grief, opens the minds of the sufferer to the reality on the ground. Acceptance may also come from a matured understanding of the complexities of politics and the fact that democracy is deeply rooted in the majority’s choices and not in the choice of a minority that believe they are more patriotic than others. However, whether the grief sufferers choose to evolve into such a reality will determine how they fit into the new reality. For the ones that transit to this stage, a sense of calm will take over their being, and the new feeling gives them rest of mind and an avenue for forward thinking. Those who decide to domicile in the earlier stages of grief will only be doing themselves great psychological harm since they have no means of changing the reality on the ground. Grief is a process that must end with the sufferer accepting the reality of it and moving on. However, choosing to perpetually dwell on the loss will not let the grief go away, subsequently triggering floods of emotions that only accentuate the ill-mental health of the sufferer.
Na wa… Sheybi dingBAT is now president. Still you’re obsessed with anything Obi and ObiDients!! I’m sure when you went out to buy fuel today you were asked to show your heavily dented forehead for free fuel.
Toluajib: i'm wondering all this DSS guys that protects top politicians do they wear bullet proof vest under their suits,or they just protect top politicians from physical assault
There suits are made of top quality Kevlar capable of stopping slugs from even high powered rifles. You can ask John Wick 🙄
Bebigiby1: Get ready to buy bread for N5000 and fuel for N700 per litre under Tinubu APC government. Many of you on Nairaland are immoral and are enemies of your country....
Noooooo I think there’s a seperate market for Yoruba Mozulems. All you have to do is show your heavily dented forehead 🙄
The one thing I have learnt about this scenario is that no matter how you do it, just make your money oooooo, nor let ‘holier than thou’ fools preach to you that your money is dirty. Just make your money and if politics is your thing buy your fuckin way into it and make more money off it. Nor go dey look Uche face for Naija ooooooo
The Yoruba Mozulem loves the Igbo more than they love allah. They can’t function one second without thinking about Igbo. Even when they’re slamming away brain cells on concrete 5 times a day they’re thinking about Igbo. Even when they’re being anally raped, they’re wishing it’s an Igbo man’s deek 🙄
Dexy4yah: After taking drugs you can do an unimaginable things that can shock even you yourself...eg killing someone, stealing, rape, homicide, fighting etc....drugs is a no.
You can control yourself when you take it but the other person might lusgad after taking it.
You see this Naija ehn, just make your money any which way. Because most of the fools shouting legit up and down are either closeted thieves or ardent supporters of thieves in power!
ElBenny: Ijeoma's Investigation Points to S∆icide as curse of death... Please read....
Ijeoma Chinonyerem made a great investigation into the viral d£ath of Ugochukwu Okpani...
This guy's death trended last week. He made a post that he got a scholarship to do his masters on international relations in the UK. He was congratulated and everyone was happy. Then a night to his relocation, he died in his hometown Afikpo, in Ebonyi state.
Ijeoma followed up with the case and discovered the following:
1. They found out that this guy that posted he got a masters scholarship in a UK university dropped out of UNIZIK. He doesn't even have a Bsc to begin with. So how did he magically get a masters scholarship without a Bsc degree?
2. The school he claimed gave him the scholarship on international relations doesn't even offer that course in Msc.
3. People reached out to the school and they said his name is not in their database and they have no affiliations with him.
4. He claimed he was moving abroad a day before he died but he was still in Afikpo that night he was supposed to leave. How can you be moving abroad on 13th yet on the night of 12th, you are still in your village?
5. He never booked flight to Lagos or Abuja cos those are the 2 places you go follow comot Nigeria.
6. He never booked any flight abroad whatsoever. No flight to the UK, US, anywhere. Not even packed a single bag for his so-called trip.
7. He had not one single travel document. Not even an international passport. So how was he supposed to travel?
8. No celebration party was thrown for him. Yet people made it seem like his friends poisoned him.
This man came on social media platforms to make posts about getting a scholarship to study abroad and give his travel date. Went to bed, woke up complaining of stomach ache and died. People say it was sniper. Doesn't that point to swicide? Especially since according to his family, nobody visited him and he didn't hang out the night before.
But no. It's more sensational to trend the story that his friends kieled him out of jealousy.
Hopefully, Nigerians would start doing autopsy one day.
Personally, I think this was carefully orchestrated by him. He intentionally wanted to set up his friends for his swicide.
Maybe his lies caught up with him and he had to end it all or maybe the lies were a part of his swicide plan. We don't know. But It's one thing to unalive yourself. It's another thing to do it in such a way that it would look like a murda.
The sad part is that most of the people who read that story will run with it without knowing there are layers to it. Even sadder is that people who were his friends would always be looked at with suspicion.
Only a man would think of using his own swicide to set up his friends/loved ones for murder. The irony of making it look like his friends were the horrible people when actually, the reverse is the case.
Note: the above opinions are those of Ijeoma Chinonyerem who made the investigation.
If you take a second look at the four pictures he posted - you will see the message.
First is a picture of himself hanging on the wall ... Saying he HUNG himself.... and announcing his own obituary.
Second is a picture of himself looking at himself in the mirror... That's a moment of self introspection and reflection.
Then there's a picture of himself looking showing his watch... The message is that IT IS TIME TO GO.
and then there's a picture of him looking at his wardrobe - probably the only thing he would leave behind. That's about legacy and those he would leave behind.
Now notice that 3 out of the 4 pictures were taken on the same day... He wanted to pass a message but we never understood it...
That's a sign that he has been trying to get our attention all through out his life but we never understood him and even in death, we misunderstood Him.
People die from lack of attention - pay closer attention. You will get the signs.
Chai. He just couldn’t keep up with the lies anymore. The cost of fake life 🤦♀️
This guy is really brave. I hope he has taken every safety precautions as regards himself and family because if they decide to come for him, best we cowards will do is wail for a day 🙄
1nice: Obidients are the Winners!! Obidients are the Winners!! Obidients are the Winners!!
Clear roads for the Obidients!!!
Obstacles to the recovery of Peter Obi stolen mandate shall be removed!!!
Obidients do not give up until the final judgement of the Presidential Tribunal ruling: then the needful shall be done.
The wars the obidients are waging is because obidients believes that it is the turn of an igbo man from south east region of Nigeria to become the next President of Nigeria after President Buhari and that is why the political change is refer to the fight for Justice, Fairness and Equity.
What is covered will be uncovered and what is secret will be made know: secrets do not last forever.
You better give up. I am an ObiDient like you but i prefer reality than the present fantasm going on. Unless Obi has a ‘last card’ he hasn’t dealt, dingBAT will be president and nothing will happen and that’s just the fact. With the kind of wealth at his disposal, dingBAT is literally a god especially in this third world. You can’t fight someone like him with ‘morality’ and expect to win. Everybody has a price and he can pay double to get what he wants including those you think are working for LP. 🙄
Kleptocratism/Kleptocracy: The average Nigerian is a thief that hasn’t been caught. They only cry about corruption when they’re not directly or indirectly benefiting from it. Give a layman or so called ‘man of the people’ power and they become worse than the devils they claimed to fight e.g Oshiomole, Keyamo, Adejanyu et all 🙄
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo state has revealed how “president-elect” Bola Ahmed Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof. Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections, Newspremises reports.
Akinwale made the disclosure while speaking as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.
Lol… Na the new format be this? Time una suppose use to ‘defend’ stolen mandate una use am dey deceive una selves. Yoruba Mozulems and dangerous stupidity fa!
Afikoo: While Nigerians are dragging Emdee from Osun State for snitching on Jappa Nigerians, a video of an Igbo Man Dr Okorocha who is a medical doctor in the UK where he defended Jappa Nigerians while granting an interview to a UK Media .
EXLOVER: . I called a forest trader out on Twitter and the next thing he block me, but does it make sense? Will someone making such amount of money weekly and daily have time to be charging $50 on mentorship and signal?
Lol… It’s all deception. From this you can tell that 1) He’s on a demo account (not real funds). Many of these so called Instagram traders flaunt demos. 2) The trade is still ongoing and he took the screenshot when it was on gains. Give it another 5 mins and everything go enter red if you nor cash out asap (Na só synthetic trading dey be)
Of course very few people actually make it as traders and those that make it don’t live that kind of ‘loud’ life you see on Instagram.
adenigga: The President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has declared that his close relationship with the people of Niger Republic will make them come to his defence if anyone from Nigeria tries to disturb him after he leaves office on May 29, 2023.
Speaking on Tuesday at the official commissioning of Nigeria Customs Service Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, President Buhari emphasized the need to be at peace with neighbouring nations.
Reiterating his resolve to retire to Daura in Katsina State, far away from Abuja, Buhari pointed out that if one does not secure the confidence and friendship of his neighbour, he or his grandchild will be in trouble.
In his words, “I said these few things about my personal belief because I have only six more days to go.
“And I try to plan to be as far away from Abuja as possible. I came from an area which is far away from Abuja.
“I said if anybody with force moves, I have good relationship with my neighbours. Niger people will defend me.”
Buhari stated that the need to build strong healthy relationships with Nigeria’s neighbours is why Niger Republic, Cameroon and Chad were the countries he first visited on assumption of office.
According to him, “I think I am trying to make my point. Later Nigeria appreciate it because it provides more jobs.
“People go back to agric. We have the land and they will produce what we eat. And for people who think that our neighbours can be a loser let’s continue to be with our neighbours.
” That is why when I became the Head of State that is President, my first visit was to Niger, Chad and Cameroon because based on neighbourhood on personal and national reason if you don’t secure the confidence of your neighbour you are in trouble.
” If you are not in trouble, your children and grandchildren be in trouble.
Maize247: Politics apart Obi needs urgent psychological examination. Obi that's always very neat now turning into something else. His dressing now looking unpresidential and this particular has probably not been changed in the last four days.
My advice, if Obi insists on wearing only black, at least, Obidents should be able to afford as many as possible.
This is why awooof dey run belle. You have access to free basics but rather than use the internet to be productive, you chose to blatantly showcase dangerous stupidity all over a public forum. Smdh🤦♀️
Marcus07: Ladi Adebutu is on the run, trying to evade prosecution for vote buying, money laundering--Investigation
Contrary to his claim that he left the country because of alleged threats to his life, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the March 18 governorship election in Ogun State, Hon Ladi Adebutu, actually travelled abroad to evade the long arm of the law over alleged criminal activities, sources have revealed.
Checks revealed that Adebutu left the country following security agencies' uncovering of a vote buying plot linked to him during the March 18 polls in Ogun State and the invitation extended to him to clarify issues.
According to the sources, Adebutu was alleged to have perpetrated bribery, conspiracy, undue influence contrary to sections 121 and 127 of the Electoral Act 2022, breach of electoral law prohibiting vote trading, deliberate facilitation of money laundering, and connivance to deliberately breach the monetary policy of the federation.
Sources revealed that in the letter made available to security agencies investigating his criminal activities, Adebutu had indicated that he travelled abroad to seek medical care, and had given no indication of threat to life.
Sources within the security services indicated that their investigations showed that in the build-up to the election, Adebutu had contacted his bank and caused over 200,000 prepaid Verve bank cards preloaded with N10,000 each to be printed.
A credible security source confirmed, with clear-cut evidence that these Verve Bank Cards were delivered directly in two batches on the 16th and 17th of March respectively, by an accounts officer from Zenith bank
This, it was maintained, is a violation of Section 121of the Electoral Act (2022) which prescribes 12 months' imprisonment for any “person who directly or indirectly, by his or herself or by any other person on his other behalf corruptly makes any gift, loan, offer, promise, procurement or agreement to or for any person, in order to induce such person to procure or to endeavour to procure the return of any person as a member of a legislative house or to an elective office or the vote of any voter at any election."
The Verve cards, which were supposedly printed to honour the lawmaker's late mother, were however uncovered as vote buying instruments going by the confessions of party agents and POS operators arrested by security agencies during the polls, which indicted the PDP guber candidate.
Adebutu was said to have applied for the Verve cards from Zenith Bank on February 27, two days after the presidential election which the PDP lost by a wide margin in Ogun State, following which the cards were delivered to him by his relationship officer in the bank.
Investigation further revealed that contrary to Adebutu's claim that the cards were issued during his mother's burial, they were actually issued few days to the election, raising the obvious question of collusion by Zenith Bank with a politically exposed person to perpetrate electoral fraud.
Also, the statements by some of Adebutu's polling agents that were arrested confirmed that he gave them the cards to manipulate the March 18 polls.
The sources described Adebutu's actions as well planned, carefully orchestrated and unprecedented electoral fraud made out of desperation after losing the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections using game-betting platforms and POS operators.
Adebutu and his agents were said to have distributed the cards throughout the over 5000 polling stations and positioned POS operators at the same so each voter could receive money at the POS terminals.
The cards were said to have been funded on the 16th and 17th of March directly from Adebutu's account with Zenith Bank, with the lawmaker paying over N2.4bn directly from his account.
Said a source: "Checks at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) showed that the foundation in whose name the PDP candidate carried out his criminal activities were fictitious.
"We have it on good authority that following a petition written to security agencies over the incident, it was observed that Adebutu expended huge sums to manipulate the March 18 governorship election in Ogun State.
"Hon Adebutu caused prepaid Verve cards preloaded with N10,000 each and bearing such inscriptions as Dame Caroline Oladunni Adebutu Empowerment Scheme, Dame Caroline Scheme and “Dame Caroline Oladunni Adebutu Memorial Endowment Scheme, to be printed under the guise of honouring his late mother, but it was a vote buying gimmick, and these cards were used to buy votes on March 18.
"Luck, however, ran out on him when party agents and POS operators used to perpetrate the deliberate manipulation of the electoral process were arrested by the security agencies and made statements that indicted him.
"The financial institutions that collaborated with him have revealed that he contacted them to create the cards which were delivered to him two days to the governorship election.
"It was when he observed that all these things had come into the open that he suddenly disappeared into thin air in order to evade justice."
The security sources, which accused the PDP lawmaker of violating Sections 121 and 127 of the Electoral Act (2022) which expressly forbid vote buying, said that it was regrettable that Adebutu had flagrantly violated laws meant to sanitize Nigeria's electoral process.
Lol… And what happens to the biggest electoral fraudster in Nigeria known as dingBAT?? Jokers!
Adeyemiwrites: Hello everyone I'm a new nairalander and I am here to share topics and bring solution to most things you find difficult..Today we will be talking about loan apps embarrassment... Some loan apps have done a lot of damage than good as people are seeking to stop loan apps from accessing, calling, and texting their contacts in Android and iOS iPhone.
Most of these loan sharks are not registered with the government, so this gives them room to just behave anyhow, because they know that nobody will check them.
Some of these loan companies go as far as calling you name that disvalues your person as an individual as often, and I wonder if these lenders aren’t the ones that come begging you to take loans from them. After the submission of your bio-data and credentials to these fake loan apps, your address of residence, place of work details and other financial histories are stored in their database.
These details of yours can be used later for your harassment when you cannot repay your borrowed loan.
Today in this article, you’ll learn to block, and prevent loan apps from accessing and calling your contacts..
Here are ways to prevent this: Online loan apps gain access to your contacts when you grant them access to read them.
These loan apps access your phone contacts at the initial stage of your application.
These are the best ways to stop loan apps from calling and sending messages to your contacts.
1. Block Access
When you download an app, your first-time usage of the app may ask for certain permissions from your phone.
These permissions could be access to your contacts, messages, camera, etc.
Many people give these permissions to use the services the app is offering. Now, for loan apps, once you’ve granted these permissions and you’ve gotten your loan, go into your phone settings and disable remove these permissions.
Only when you default, the loan companies go to the app to retrieve your phone contacts if the permissions are still granted.
But once you turn it off and don’t open the app again, they won’t have it.
They will threaten to send messages, but believe me, they can’t.
To stop a loan app from sending messages to your contacts, don’t give them access.
Don’t agree to allow them to read your contacts.
And if they do, just follow these steps:
Go to your Settings on your Android or iOS device. Navigate to the Apps Manager. Click on Apps permission. Select the loan app in question. Now, deny or allow them access.
Final Words Once you grant permission for the first time to any loan app, all the information they need about you is stored.
If you are indebted to any of those illegal loan platforms, and you are afraid of defamatory messages to your contacts, go to settings in your phone, click on app and notifications.
Scroll down to app permission and deny them access to your contacts, SMS, photo gallery and storages on your phone.
They won’t be able to reach out to your contacts anymore or post your pictures.
They would only have your number and have only you to deal with.
Finally, ensure to only borrow only what you can pay.
