Properties / Re: Inside A N1 Billion Mansion In Ikoyi, Lagos!! (Video) by Reptyle(m): 5:07pm On Nov 18, 2020 |
Gift52: I watched the video for about 5 minutes and really it isn't a bad looking house. The first concern I spotted is that the exterior is quite cramped. For a 1 billion naira house, I would expect a more spacious exterior with lots of space possibly with very good horticultural landscaping. Apart from the front where you have a bit of space, hardly any on the sides. In some places, you can almost touch the fence from the side door. Secondly, for a 1 billion naira house, I would expect central air conditioning rather than have those AC outdoor unit defacing the exterior. An intelligent climate-controlled central air conditioning system should be able to fit comfortably into that 1 billion naira budget. |

Career / Re: My Brother's Employment Letter Was Withdrawn by Reptyle(m): 11:59am On Nov 11, 2020 |
creolehunt: Sadly, there is nothing that can be done to remedy this situation. If the recruitment exercise was targeted internally at employees that are already within the system, the manager had no business recommending your brother for the job seeing he is now an external candidate. From your own post, you stated that your brother had resigned sometime back. Infact, if it is the company I currently work for, that manager will face very stiff disciplinary actions and could even be sacked because what he did will be considered a breach of his integrity. The HR person that facilitaed the process will also be sanctioned severely for not ensuring due diligence of the process before sending out the letter of employment. Your brother will need to try elsewhere. 2 Likes |
Travel / Re: My Lovely Trip to Jubilee Chalets In Epe Owned By The Lagos State Government by Reptyle(m): 2:31pm On Nov 10, 2020 |
Spent 3 nights here in February and it has been one of the highlights of my year because it was shortly after that that Covid came and everywhere got locked down! I went with my team from the office for our yearly strategic retreat and I must say it was a great experience. The entire facility was clean and the air was pure. Members of staff were very courteous and polite and the food was good. They have an averagely good DJ and the fish pepper soup and palmwine was cool. I don't know much about the cost because it was all paid for by my company The only down side for me was the trip to and fro because of the distance and the fact that the access road to Epe was in very very poor state at the time. Roads within the town itself were very good though. |
Politics / Re: INEC Begins Signature Collection For Mojisola Alli Macaulay Recall by Reptyle(m): 10:36am On Nov 04, 2020 |
post=95658051: It has not gotten to INEC yet. The constituents still have to send in a recall request to INEC which is why they are currently collating signatures. Frankly speaking, to recall a state or federal representative is not child's play. I don't really see anything coming out of this because the process is really REALLY long and tedious. By the time the process runs its course, she probably will be done with her tenure. What this will do however is that it will act as a caution to this representative to watch her steps going forward. It could also act as a way of ensuring she doesn't get re-elected in the next election. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Desmond Elliot Blasted For Calling Nigerian Youths "Children" by Reptyle(m): 10:49pm On Oct 29, 2020 |
KingAzubuike: So all of these insults and dragging on Hon. Desmond Elliot is about him calling people children and not necessarily of the value of his message? Such brittle and fragile egos all over the place. Acting like petulant children and then getting upset when someone calls them that There is a mini-tyrant inside each and everyone of us that simply can't tolerate someone having a different perspective from ours. Otherwise, how do you explain all of the cyberbullying for anyone that dares express a divergent opinion? We are just as bad as our leaders.

Food / Re: The N500 Onions I Bought Today In Port Harcourt. by Reptyle(m): 11:01am On Oct 28, 2020 |
The price of a lot of things will skyrocket over the next few weeks and maybe months because of the carnage we witnessed through out last week. A lot of food bearing trucks from different parts of the country were caught up in the melee and either destroyed or went bad. Now most of the drivers and truck owners are afraid of making the trip down south for fear of been mobbed, robbed and even killed. Even the price of meat will soon blow out of proportion for the same reason. It will take a while for things to return to normal. I hope this will be a wake up call to each state governor to develop the agricultural sector within their states to check the trend of food scarcity whenever there is a crisis like this one. |

But I strongly doubt an agbero will break into the Oba's palace and wreck it with the sort of hate and viciousness that we all saw. Please tell me what an agbero's business with the court at Igbosere is, and why a historic monument like that was razed to the ground. These were well coordinated attacks on these places.

Crime / Re: Armed Robbers Came To My Compound Last Night In Benin City by Reptyle(m): 11:02pm On Oct 21, 2020 |
Benin people cheered as over 1000 prisoners broke out of the prisons and blended with the crowds outside to make their getaway. Benin people cheered as boys gathered at various locations in breach of the curfew to defy the government. Benin people cheered as police stations were been destroyed by angry youths. Now Benin people will have to cope with their "august visitors" whenever they come calling. Since policemen have now become endangered species, they have all gone into hiding to avoid angry mobs. The one in my area in Lagos has been deserted since on sunday to avoid the "peaceful protesters". They simply released all the guys they had in their holding cells and faded into the wind. Benin people and neighboring states and villages should begin to organise local militias to protect their neighborhoods because they are about to witness an unprecedented spike in violent crime. God help us all. |

Crime / Re: Policeman Killed In Delta As #EndSARS Protest Turns Violent In Ughelli by Reptyle(m): 3:02am On Oct 09, 2020 |
Bagehot: That's the very point I was trying to make. The conveners of these protests must understand that when you convene a mass action, you attract people of different personalities, temperaments and agenda and things can spiral out of control really fast. That was why Tuface pulled out of the planned protest last year. It wasn't about his own personal safety. The police aren't going to shoot at him. But how about the other faceless Nigerians that will hit the street along with him? Can he guarantee their safety? I hope the conveners are powerful enough to influence their fellow protesters to follow through and maintain the peaceful outlook of the mass actions. If they don't, things are going to go out of control and a lot of innocent people are going to get seriously hurt or even killed. |

Rossinky: Whats with all the insults man? How in the world did you arrive at this warped conclusion that I am joining foreigners to bash my country?!!! So some random woman goes on an uninformed and ignorant rant on social media about my country and I am supposed to feel bad because of that? Naaaah! She is too inconsequential and I am am too comfortable and secure in my "Nigerianess" to be moved by such inanity. All I tried to do with my post was to ask Nigerians to be as passionate and proud of their country as this woman was about hers, and defend it passionately when necessary. As stupid as it was for her to trash talk a country she had never even visited, I am actually impressed by her sense of patriotism in rising to the defense of her President and country. That's all I was trying to say. By the way, you come across like an averagely intelligent person. May I advise that you refrain from letting your emotions cloud your thoughts so much that you begin to insult faceless people online. Even when you disagree with an expressed opinion, learn to disagree in a civil manner and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Take care. 1 Like |

As hurtful as it is to hear a black American speak so condescendingly about her motherland, I will have to say it serves that driver right. I wish Nigerians were this passionate and patriotic about their country. An average American might not like Trump or his policies. But you dare not talk smack about their country. They know that Presidents will come and go but the land will remain for generations to come so they will not stand foe anyone denigrating their land. For us Nigerians we take delight in joining foreigners to bash and rubbish our country. This silly Nigerian uber guy probably thought Americans are like we Nigerians. 13 Likes |
Celebrities / Re: Ozo's Fans Buy N8.9M Phillipe Patek Watch For Him (Pics, Video) by Reptyle(m): 8:04pm On Sep 28, 2020 |
Hate to rain on anyone's parade. But...this most likely isn't an OG Patek Nautilus. First off, that box its in definitely isn't a Patek Nautilus box. Secondly, Patek's are rarely ever easily gotten off the shelf. The waiting list on the average, runs forward a number of years. To get one from an authorised dealer in a quick deal, you are gonna need to fork out atleast twice its regular cost. Alternatively, you could pick one off the black market and risk buying a fake, or an OG one that cost an arm and a leg. You could also possibly get a second hand one either from an authorised dealer or on the black market...that one will still cost you a pile of cheddar. The only logical way that this Ozo's gift is the real deal is if its a gift from a wealthy patron in which case it would be a 2nd hand one. Having said that though, this replica may still be a good one that may cost some good money. Congratulations to Ozo. 4 Likes |
Politics / Re: Kemi Olunloyo: Precious Chikwendu Was A Prostitute, Raped, Cheated On FFK by Reptyle(m): 7:53pm On Sep 24, 2020 |
donaldeke: With the way FFK is going about viciously attacking Precious' reputation using people like this witch call Kemi Olunloyo, I am starting to believe the claims by Precious' sister that she went through great physical and mental abuse while married to FFK. FFK's poor mental health is common knowledge to everyone. His erratic behaviour has been a subject of public discourse for decades, the most recent been his deranged outburst during a press conference recently. His sojourn in a drug rehab centre in Ghana is also public knowledge. We are also aware he has been married a number of times and all of those marriages packed up within 4 years on each occassion. Were those women also suffering from mental issues? This narrative of Precious' mental health being pushed by notorious bloggers like this sick woman called Kemi Olunloyo is obviously a hack job sponsored by FFK. With FFKs history and reputation with women, it is unfortunate that another woman, attrated by the allure of being married to a wealthy and powerful man, will soon end up married to him and we will be hearing these same sob stories a few years from now. |

Politics / Re: Okorocha: No More APC, What Is Left Of APC Is Just Respect For Buhari by Reptyle(m): 11:10am On Sep 21, 2020 |
Osagyefo98: This is one of the traitors that rallied against their party just to settle personal scores. Nigerian politicians are mostly charlatans. In other places, politicians rally around an ideology. So you find for instance in the US, that a politician that is a republican today actually springs from a long line of republicans. His children after him and his own descendants most likely will also be republican. That politician could at some point find himself out of favour within the party. What you would never find is that republican politician running down his party and offering support to the democrats...under any condition. In Nigeria, most politicians rally around money and power. Shame, integrity, honour and loyalty are virtues that are in extremely short supply within the Nigerian political circle. That's why you find politicians cross carpeting at the drop of a hat. Parties are established on principles and a central ideology. Every member of the party submits to the supremacy of the party. No individual or bloc should be larger than the party. But not so in Nigeria. It's either an individual wants to impose their will on the party or a bloc leverage their influence or their financial war chest to polarise the party and tear it apart from the inside out. It happened with the PDP. It is happening with the APC as we speak. It might interest you to know that it is the same power bloc that moves from one party to the other, disrupting the internal peace and harmony to suit their insidious personal agenda. We have now had two president's in succession that have shown nothing more than a passive interest in their party's affairs and so these 5th columnists have had their way. President Jonathan allowed the Governor's forum guys led by Saraki, ruin things for him within the PDP and that cost him a second term. President Buhari is allowing the same renegade governor's forum led by Fayemi, Obaseki, Amaechi and the likes to run rings around him. People like Oshiomole and Tinubu that stand for party supremacy and discipline have been demonised and stripped of influence because they lack the support of the President who has chosen to be passive. It has cost the APC Edo State and it might cost them Ondo as well. It most likely will cost them the 2023 central elections because right now, the rallying call is BUHARI! Once he is done with his term in 2023, he will retire to his farm and the APC will probably just fall apart. The party has systematically stripped all of its influential people of their powers. There may be no one to hold the party together by 2023. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: How We Killed Uwaila, Suspect Confesses - Full Video by Reptyle(m): 11:10am On Aug 30, 2020 |
sapphiere: I commend the police for not going to sleep on this heartless crime. But I have serious concerns about their ability to secure the conviction of any of these suspects if they go to court without first ensuring an airtight prosecution. From the testimonies of these paraded individuals, it appears to me like the police have not done a good job tidying up their investigations. All they have is a bucket list of suspects and all but one of them, deny complicity in the crime. All the police have as a fact right now is the confession of Collins and it would appear the police is building their entire case on his confession. Unfortunately without hard evidence implicating any of the other suspects, Collins' confession is not enough to convict them because it is essentially his word against theirs. this is a capital offence and I do not think any judge will want to convict someone of the basis of a confession that is not backed by any hard evidence. If the testimonies of the other suspects are anything to go by, the Police in Abuja subjected them to all sorts of scientific probes including fingerprinting, blood sampling, DNA and even semen sampling and all those returned negative results. This means that the only evidence the police has is Collins' confession. Now speaking of Collins' confession, it would seem the police has also established that he may have implicated his landlady in the plot to kill the deceased victim on the basis of malice. If you listen carefully to the landlady's testimony, it seems that the police have been unable to establish her complicity in the plot having ransacked her house, shop etc. and subjected her bank accounts to a forensic probe. While these factors do not prove her innocence, they also do not establish her complicity in the plot. This means that once again, all the police have got on her is Collins' confession. The other lady is only a part of the team because her son that was implicated by Collin's is at large. Perhaps that is the person that holds the key to the whole investigation. If he is caught, he might be able to help the police connect all of the dots more strongly to prevent any of these suspects from walking free if they are really guilty. For now, the police's case is a house of cards that can be brought down by an averagely good lawyer that knows how to ask the right questions. I strongly suggest that for poor Uwaila to get the justice she rightly deserves, the police need to dig in and conduct further investigations before commencing the process of prosecution. 1 Like |
