Wiping US?
Let me pretend I read that wrong

The person that inserted that piece is obviously a drunk

ikennaoma:
only few people read the article..
let me summarize it for you guys.

Navy accused tompolo boys for trying to snatch Engine and ended up escorting stolen crude and was released after a staff of tompolo company came and identified there staff.

TOMPOLO IS EQUALLY ACCUSING NAVY FOR GUIDING A STOLEN CRUDE IN A WOODEN VESSEL WHICH WAS INTERCEPTED BY HIS MEN. BUT THE OWNER OF THE BOAT ESCAPED AND CALLED NAVY THAT'S IN DAGOTE COMPANY TO COME TO HIS RESCUE. WHICH THEY DID AND ALLOWED THE STOLEN CRUDE TO BE TAKEN AWAY..

NOW WHO DO WE BELIEVE?

God bless you man.

Nairaland is largely made up of really strange people.
All the comments on the first page reacted only to the headline, and that makes it even more pathetic. How can a large group of people not read news that's not more than 2 minutes before anchoring their opinions from left right centre.

For the fact that the Navy personnel came from Dangote refinery to set free the wooden vessel, the story given by the TANTITA supervisor is more believable.
There are many cases of Nigeria Navy setting free arrested crude thieves in the past one year so this might just be an addition to the long list

Ibrahimcoomasie:
2 Transformer donation is good governance?

Same thing Obidients yabbed Desmond Elliot for this year even though he has donated more transformers as a state assembly member.

It is clearly written that it is 5 not 2.

Quote the right thing while submitting your opinion

Donating a transformer that would assist a community that is suffering from lack of electricity perhaps as a result of the absence of adequate power infrastructure.
What is not good in that kind of governance?

vyncentino:
well some of you are probably,below 30 so you didn't experience,military regime,because if you do you not talk like this,check your history or Google how Nigeria was before military regime,especially before 1984 buhari took over,see in military regime just know you don't vote your leader o, they appoint to you who ever they like,and you don't argue with them,if you questions their leadership style,the kill the person,nobody can do anything about it o,no courts of justice o,
Every player in the military regime in Nigeria is a millionaire today till date, they all crumble Nigeria economy to their individual pucket, the only man who didn't steal public money
is buhari, that is why he came back as civilians and crumble Nigeria economy,what he fail to do 1984,in military regime you can't carry some hair style o or girl wearing trousers hmm
You guys don know any thing poverty was the other of the day you can't insult the president o even on social media,no freedom

While all the things you stated above is generally true about military regime especially in Nigeria, the country is still suffering all of them under civilian rule even on a larger scale.
Poverty and strife is the order of the day and there is open stealing in government which ordinary people like you and I can't do anything about.
About the freedom of expression or insulting somebody, it is still the same the populace is suffering. Anybody that the president decide to deal with today for insulting him, nobody can do anything about it just like how it is obtainable under military rule.
Is there any law that the Nigeria government respect? The Nigeria government since 1999 has assumed the position of being the law onto itself.
When you juxtapose military governments in Nigeria with their civilian counterparts, the military is even miles ahead of the civilians in terms of national development despite their corruption. There is hardly any national infrastructure in Nigeria today that you can point to that was not built under the military. The civilians are only doing refurbishment...there is hardly anything of note that they have done. Though we don't wish for military rule because the military should never have any business with running government. Demonizing them in comparison to the crooked civilians we have in government is what I will never stand in support of.

However, I disagree with you that Buhari came back as a civilian president to wreck the country which he was unable to do in 1984. Buhari was a failure in 1984, and a failure in 2015.

Satanistx:
who is this guys supplier? does he know the meaning of popular?
who be Babe Ruth. getat abeg

Babe Ruth is arguably more popular during his sporting years than the Ronaldo/Messi we sing of today comparatively.

You just needed to check him. He is up there in the all time greats the sporting world has ever seen, not just my opinion but in the record books of sport analysts

Oba no dey leave palace

Nigerians don really suffer...

One week, one trouble

kunle4toyeyaho:
Dey deceive yourself. You expect the same VC who signed the certificate in 1979 to still be in office in2023? Tinubu applied for a replacement certificate and it is normal to have it signed by a new person. Always get your facts right

I'm not sure if you read the whole article or maybe you did but deliberately ignored the part where it said "the VC that signed the certificates was not the VC as at 1979 when the first one was issued, she was equally not the VC of CSU when the replacement was issued in 2022.
She was only VC between 1998 & 2008

jmoore:
IGNORANCE on display.

We should be careful on how we fabricate ridiculous conspiracy theories.

The update is happening in other countries.

If you fail to update, you can't load any unit to your meter after the deadline of November 2024.


While some meters can be updated without physical touch. It seems the metres that need physical touch for update are the old ones.

The Unistar and Ziglasis meter and co are not only retrieved for upgrade. They are phasing them out for no good reason other than they are not reading consumption properly, so customers are advised to get new smart meters which may be at their own cost.

I suppose that's what is causing the friction

valentineuwakwe:
So what is our exact amount? Forget all this am owing and I will pay by 2027.....how much is Nigeria's foreign reserves?

It is $3 billion.

The CBN man is only faulting JP Morgan for saying it too early that they ought to say it later.
That's the example he gave.

Angelfrost:
Please, don't generalize.

Not every man likes their women boring and unadventurous.

Honestly, the only thing restricting men and women in Nigeria is just religion, not even tradition... Cos tattoos and body art are well within our culture as Africans.


Personally, I will never put tattoos on my person (I like my body unadorned by ink), but I see nothing wrong in my wife getting one as long as it is decent, in moderation, and with meaningful messages or art.

You can't be associated closely to me with demonic or twisted arts or wordings on your body... No way.

Most people not recognizing or refusing to acknowledge that body art or tattooing is part of culture as Africans is really amusing.
Most people that express strong opinions against tattoos even on this thread do so because of religious beliefs/influence which they may not want to accept.

There was hardly any aged woman in where I come from, especially in the late 90s that I did not see with body art/tattoo, though not as elaborate as the ones of today.
Ijaw women drew tattoos on their arm, especially their abdomen and it was a beautiful sight to behold.
Most tattooed ladies these days living a wayward lifestyle does not mean tattooing is a mark of irresponsibility.

Being irresponsible and wayward is largely a thing of the mind and that is where it begins.

zedegit:
Where's Osho sexy?

Her tournament performance was just there because of her injury, she knows that too. She even played very few minutes by her standards. I will excuse Oshoala cause of her injury but our strikers/attackers were just not very effective in the tournament.

Oshoala was not fully fit, at least according to what she said in her interview, the reason she was coming in from the bench. None of the other strikers was able to rise to the occasion, the very reason the team was not very effective in the final third.
If our attack was as effective as the midfield and defense, Nigeria could have gone farther than round of 16.

Played well against Canada with zero goals, outplayed Ireland with Zero goals. Outplayed very good English team with zero goals in regular time. In all the above three matches, lot of chances were created.

Overall, it was a very good team performance and big improvement

fuckJones:
he speaks what he hear from God.
remember tinubu didn't call him daddy before he make the statement

There is nowhere in the article Kumuyi said that's what he heard from God. God did not tell him anything and he never claimed God did.

He is only establishing faith that things will be better since in his opinion, the people selected to work with the president are competent (again in his opinion).
What he said is nothing different from what politicians in the present government has been saying and every other Nigerian believing that things will be better. After all, that is the belief and ray of hope that is associated with every new administration in Nigeria; including that of Buhari.

God did not tell Kumuyi this message. He is only sharing his personal opinion and wish for Nigeria.

Helper1000:
This is the Best female team we've had in the history of the country.. they should be kept together.. the Coach should scout for dangerous forwards and see if they won't win the Olympics.. the team look very dangerous. The defence and midfield is very solid.. that Tony pyne lady,alozie ,plumptr,demehin , and the keeper are just too Good

Add Ajibade and Uchebe.

Uchebe made more tackles than any other player in the tournament, a very good holding midfielder.
Payne, Ajibade, Uchebe and Nnadozie were very good in every single match

REDshouse:
Op with sensational headline... Many people don't know the difference between Net and Gross...
Gross is 37billion dols
Net is around 3.7billion dollars ...

So many people finding it difficult to read and assimilate... So painful

You are right, judging from most comments.

However, their complaints serve the same purpose as Nigeria having 3 billion dollars as net reserve is preposterous.
What is really the gain in someone claiming his salary is 1 million naira when he is entitled to a payment of only 30 thousand naira at the end of the month.
The reality is that our foreign reserves is seriously depleted whether the gross is $37 billion. Since the net is $3 billion, the $37 billion is what we have but do not have.

Nigerians and spurious talks.

In same breath, you admit there is data that Nigeria has a 200 million population, then say you believe we are more than that.
Where is your data to show we are more than that?

Nigerians love claiming what is not there, especially with no evidence. They always discredit the data of other people then fail to provide their own to support their claim.
It is a Nigerian that will authoritatively address another in a public forum that "I am better/bigger than you" with no evidence.

XY23:
It is not fallacious that most Nigerians are stupid. They have orgasm at the mere sight of 'powerful men', but not so much love for 'strong institutions'. They hail what they know not today, then wail tomorrow.

Mental slavery is real, it trumps education.

You are even attributing to them what they are not; they are mere thieves. Most Nigerians adore them because they fancy the idea of being like them...getting same opportunity to steal as much as them to oppress other people with the loot

IconicR:
I've never seen a clear reason why Ondo should be part of Niger delta

he clearly said the other commentator is looking for Ijaw trouble with the inadequate map. Ijaws will not allow their land and brothers in Ondo State to be excluded, which already has suffered from deliberate balkanization, so they will not leave their brothers behind if at all it happens

dazzlingd:
No difference. You are all slaves

As long as both religions were introduced to Nigeria through slavery and colonialism, you are all same

Maybe you writing in English that was introduced to you during slavery and colonialism makes you a slave too. You are just throwing tantrums.

What is the correlation about me telling you to leave Christianity out of the discourse and condemn the barbarians in Illorin squarely translate to me being a slave. The topic is not even remotely connected to Christians so why bring them into it.

I say again, chastise Christians when they misbehave and leave them out of this one as Christians are not the ones fighting Isese followers in Illorin.

dazzlingd:
This is barbaric! Only a black slave will prioritize foreign dead religion over their own culture.
And this is not about ilorin alone, same stupidity is everywhere in Africa. Both Christians and Muslims. You are all insane

If there’s a religion of peace, it is Ifa that has allowed peace to reign. The Christianity and Islam has caused the world much more blood shed and agony. Most especially the religion of terror in disguise of peace

Must you add Christianity to appear politically correct or appease the other section.

The discourse is about Islam and its adherents fomenting trouble, criticize their barbaric behaviour in Illorin and leave no room for other interpretations. Where have you seen in Nigeria where Christians outwardly threaten other people with death that they should not practice their religion?
Face the topic squarely and criticize them Muslims alone.

When Christians misbehave, then we call them out too.
Have you not seen here that other Muslims tacitly support the religious terrorists fomenting trouble in Illorin over the Isese issue? Face them and leave Christians alone for matter wey no concern them

Gosh!

sreamsense:
I wouldn't be surprised if Muslims become another first religion to have problems with this isese day in Oyo. MURIC will hate Makinde for that. Everybody should have freedom to worship what they believe in. If you want to win them back to your religion, do so by preaching peace to them or allow them to get convinced through your character/behaviour

@bold.

May we live long enough. The probability of what you said happening in Oyo is almost 100%. Just give it a few years before Muslims in Oyo start fighting against Isese day and practice in Oyo State.
Muslims in Oyo have had clashes with traditionalists in Oyo before

Sangoamadioha1:
Hey dont deceive yourself, they are reintroducing fuel subsidy. This is government speak for subsidy, keeping the price as it is now despite market forces. Is that not subsidy?

You think say those ones get sense...

They just admitted there's no immediate need to increase pump price despite their claim of rise in the landing cost. They want to keep the price as it is according to Tinubu spokesman. It means they will pay subsidy to the marketers to calm down for now, that's if they've not been paying already.

I for one don't even believe in this subsidy removal because I have a strong reason to believe subsidy payment will resurface under a new name before December. With the report of temporary subsidy payment and the later denial, they are only testing the waters. The thieves are paying subsidy and it won't be long before they will be busted

Kukutente23:
You have not even seen the charges yet you're already masturbating. Under what offences does "conferring unlawful advantages" fall

Reading the comments, especially some just makes one cringe.

Like the bold, this is just another round of time wastage and diversion of public attention. What on earth is "conferring unlawful advantages" and some morons on here find that worthy of celebration...just weeks ago, same morons celebrated the "possession of firearm charge" which is about to be withdrawn.

It is becoming clearer that the government does not have anything reasonable to charge Emefiele with.

hspda:
Dialogue is dame good way, but what happens when the other party isn't ready to sit down and dialogue?

They are showing signs of not sitting down to talk because Nigeria and other ECOWAS countries has already applied punitive measures.

While it is a noble idea to do whatever that is necessary to discourage military rule in the subregion, Nigeria government obsession with military action to solve Niger's internal problem at this time when Nigeria herself is gripped with strife and general hopelessness is ill advised.
ECOWAS can and should only put pressure on the junta to return power to a democratic rule in the shortest possible time as that's the only viable option. Negotiate for Bazoum's release so he can go and enjoy his loot in exile, maybe in Daura-Katsina as returning him to power is practically impossible given the odds.

Nigeria is presently grounded and the president seem not to fully understand what he is doing. Face your country that is near collapse.
All the people that are still clapping for this current government, I don't even understand whether they don't go out to work to earn a living or whether they are just buffoons. Inflation is suffocating almost everybody but the buffoons keep clapping so I am constrained to wonder if they don't go out there to work

Ayoola171:
Asking for evacuation?

There was a news on the front page here that; Nigerians over there are protesting against ECOWAS military inversion and that are happy over there.

So, this report negate the previous news.

It does not negate. According to them in their protest, invasion would put them at risk so government should bury the idea since they are happy.

But now that ECOWAS is adamant on invading, their happiness and safety they protested to protect is now at risk, hence their new request for evacuation

priceactionx:
[b]Military standby Not full action, why do nairaland always carry fake news? Standby is different from full action. [/b]The are still going about it diplomatically but military on standby. Seun, nlfpmod, mynd44. Always get the right info before hurry to post stuffs. Someone just clipped few seconds and claimed military action, haba.

You are the one reading the news content in isolation.

Firstly, the reader said "activate the ECOWAS standby force", emphasis on "activate" as there is a standby force already, like a quota of military personnel and equipment each member is obligated to contribute to enforce ECOWAS resolutions in war/conflict resolution.

Secondly, he said "order the deployment of the ECOWAS standby force to restore constitutional order in Niger", again emphasis on "order the deployment"

Now as a reader with a disabused mindset, what is difficult in understanding that the above is a declaration of war on Niger military authority. How does "deployment of the standby force into Niger to restore constitutional order" mean just "standby or half action" according to what you said.

ECOWAS can decide to dilly dally and delay the deployment to one week or one year, but what has been declared according to the resolution is the Use of Military Force to restore the former government. There is no other meaning

Mercy2006:
I respect the hell out of the man too.
He said the election that brought him to power was highly flawed, though!

But he did not resign, still held onto power. It is deception.

Just like when the rich tell the poor "I am one of you or eat among the poor" to calm them.

Obaofaba:
Now I see...

Well, well, well.

This is scandalous, if anything is learnt in this whole bruohaha, I think it's the fact that we must be mindful of our social media posts.

The rule is, don't go overboard except you are criticising terrorists like ipob terrorists, Boko Haram or bandits disturbing the peace of the nation.

Instead of trying to caution those that speak their mind based on evidence in our democracy, speak against the thieves still calling the shots which evidence has exposed them to be.

If her initial nomination was truly based on competence, then it is a loss to Nigeria now that she has been replaced. We have collectively allowed thieves and nepotism to overrun the country, the consequence, very odious and even felt by the dead.

Donchieli:
The grinn on her face says it all

Tha falcon na IDAN

But why she wear different color of boots

She said it is in dedication to Super Mario Ballotelli.

The connection between their two is not yet known

backtovillage:
Igbo amaka wey Lose penalty.
But she played well today that Ajibade na confirm baller too.

Ajibade
Payne
Uchebe
Nnadozie
Ohale

Were very impressive throughout the tournament.

festacman:
So sad to lose in this way. Working hard all day and then lost it to poor penalties.

I still doubt whether Super Falcons prepared for penalty and drew up list of takers according strengths before this match. We had this match when England lost their first penalty but the managers order of penalty takers killed it.

Still super proud of Super Falcons. Made the European champion English Lionesses look ordinary. Made Nigeria and Africa proud.

Now, time to go for African Women Cup of Nations as the least compensation while preparing for next World Cup. NFF should swallow its pride and retain the manager to continue moulding the team rather bring in another new hands.

I think you are right with the bold in my suspicion as well.

We did not prepare for penalty and certainly did not prepare to play against a ten player situation. When we had the advantage, we were still playing wrong long balls that we made nothing out of in order for the opposition not to catch us on the counter. Building play from the ground and charging our attack to be more decisive in the final third would have yielded a better result as our midfield and defense was largely okay. Allowing Alozie (one of the least experienced) to take that second penalty kick after we missed the first is another contestable decision especially from the buildup of enormous pressure after missing the first kick.

Like what most people say, penalty is a game of luck so we must rely on that to heal our wounds, but Nigeria blew away a very big chance to progress to the next stage.
