 Business › Re: Getting Unsolicited Money From A Venture Capital by Richmatt(op): 8:36am On Aug 27, 2024 |
I should decide if I want money I did not ask for. An idea that is not published anywhere? Someone randomly gets your account number, sends money twice now and you are talking about being part of a success story. Smh lanre316: |
| Business › Getting Unsolicited Money From A Venture Capital by Richmatt(op): 8:22am On Aug 27, 2024 |
Hi, I have been getting money from a venture capital in the US. It has happened twice now. It is Beni Venture Capital. Does anyone have any idea where this is from? Or how come? And no, I did not apply for any loan or grant. Besides, it should take a rigorous process before funds are approved for disbursing. The description has Ijeoma in it though. |
| Crime › Man Kills Twin Daughters, Accusing Them Of Witchcraft by Richmatt(op): 3:56pm On Feb 16, 2022 |
Ayanime has been sentenced to death by hanging by a Cross River High Court. The Judge, Agnes Onyebueke, said, “Udo’s act is satanic, demonic, and beyond human comprehension.” The judge said Ayanime willfully and gruesomely murdered his two 11-year-old daughters, Mfoniso Ayanime and Emediong Ayanime, in 2017 after accusing them of witchcraft.

| Romance › Is This The Saddest Love Story? by Richmatt(op): 8:45am On Aug 04, 2021 |
Well… You can’t tell what’s the saddest love story but this is really sad. And this is it… Anas is a lover boy. A crazy disciplined guy but a big-time lover boy. He never tells himself this, and in fact, he always denies it, but people will always say, “Anas, be you. You do you and spread love.” “I don’t believe this. How come I spread so much love and get almost quite the opposite in return?” Anas will usually respond. Anas always feels alone, less loved. Read more |
| Politics › Are Nigeria’s Northern Elites Truly Jittery About Southern Pacts? by Richmatt(op): 6:13pm On Jul 07, 2021 |
At the Asaba Accord barely three months ago, it was agreed that open grazing would be banned in the South, after scores of farmers had lost their lives at the hands of ferocious herders. In a reaction by the Kebbi-born Attorney general of the federation, Abubakar Malami, he compared grazing, an act which attracted allegations of overrunning farms and farm produce, with selling spare parts.

The news was reported Tuesday, June 29 as Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN) addressed journalists in Abuja after the arrest and extradition of the IPOB Leader.

| Food › Jigawa Has These Food Markets That Will Excite You by Richmatt(op): 1:35pm On May 24, 2021 |
Jigawa is the eighth largest state by population, whose residents are predominantly of Hausa or Fulani background. The state’s economy remains largely dependent on agriculture, more reason it has markets where traders from Kano, Kaduna, Yobe, Katsina go to, to buy and sell. It has a predominantly informal domestic trade sector with thousands of subsistence enterprises. In addition to hundreds of regular markets in many villages and towns, Jigawa has some specialized markets – at Gujungu, Kupsa, Sara, Maigatari and Hadejia, dealing in large scale agricultural commodities and livestock merchandising.

| Family › We Need More Men To Drive The Gender Equality Agenda by Richmatt(op): 12:38pm On Apr 13, 2021 |
The clamour for increased representation of women in key roles in the public and private sector in Nigeria is as old as the troubled republic. It dates back to a time when the key positions women were vying for was on the voting queue. Sustained agitation by formidable political activists like Hajiya-GamboSawaba will eventually see Northern women gain the right to vote in 1976, 25 years after their southern counterparts did. The years have seen the conversation on women’s place in Nigeria’s polity expand, shrink and expand some more. In all this pendulum-swing trajectory, one thing has remained key to the struggle - the energising visibility of women who made their mark despite crippling policies and social attitudes to women in highly placed roles.

| Politics › Police Violence Continues Unabated, The Stories Are Piling by Richmatt(op): 5:25pm On Mar 22, 2021 |
Many Nigerians have argued that the Nigeria Police Force learnt nothing from the #EndSARS protest. “They will wait, then return after a couple of months“. Some others argued against such submissions, saying, “they cannot be that bastardly“. Months later, not up to half a full year, the Police is back in the news – for mostly the wrong reasons.

| Christianity Etc › Traditional African Spirituality Is Regaining Ground Among Young Nigerians by Richmatt(op): 10:13am On Feb 26, 2021 |
The first time I found out about African spirituality was not in a Social Studies class. That deliberate less than adequate excuse for education did little for me. Rather than build on the little I learnt from dismissive conversations about distant relatives stuck in the village and ‘ignorance’ left me with nothing more than a new term for a group of people some of whom are family – traditional worshippers.

| Politics › #endsars And Igbos: Nigerians Don’t See Divisive Tactics When It Is Glaring by Richmatt(op): 11:42am On Feb 10, 2021 |
About three months since the Nigerian Army opened fire on peaceful protesters. More than three months since government thought of ways to disperse peaceful protesters and used angry Nigerians (popularly called thugs, hoodlums) to infiltrate the protests and cause mayhem. Three months since some Nigerians and the government called the protests an insurrection. Three months now, the #EndSARS protests may be reincarnating. Read more |
| Nairaland General › Thuganic: A Day In The Hood With Lagos 'street Youths' (VIDEO) by Richmatt(op): 2:40pm On Jan 29, 2021 |
I was at an #EndSARS gathering when angry Nigerians (you call them hoodlums or government-sponsored thugs) started initiating what would have turned a riot. Fortunately, the protesters were able to chase them away, injuring a few in the process. But, I went home thinking if these significant ‘other’ understood what #EndSARS is all about. Read more |
| Politics › Open Letter To H.E. Muhammadu Buhari As He Turns 78 by Richmatt(op): 8:47pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
When you were born December 17, 1942, it is possible your father, Mallam Hardo Adamu, a Fulani chieftain, and mother Zulaihat did not realise they had given birth to someone growing up to be a figure in the country’s history books. And, coming as the twenty-third child, you probably thought you were just going to end up as another Nigerian. Your place of birth, background or rank among your father’s children did not deter you from chasing lofty dreams. It is a phenomenon for many households in Northern Nigeria to have at least one person in the large family enlisted in either in the Army, Navy, Air Force or Police Force. But, you went further and eventually became a Major General. Your kindred must be proud even by just looking at your achievements as a Nigerian who has invested his whole life in serving the country.

| Politics › IPOB Is Trending Again And This Is What We Know by Richmatt(op): 3:23pm On Dec 14, 2020 |
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is in the news again. This time, not exactly because it’s acclaimed leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has said something controversial again, but because they have launched a security outfit for South-East Nigeria. In a statement Sunday, IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, said the objective of the security network is to protect the South-East and South-South from “criminal activity”. According to Powerful, the outfit is a replica of Amotekun launched by the governors of the South-West to curb insecurity in that region. Read more |
| Politics › Why Buhari Cannot Congratulate Joe Biden by Richmatt(op): 10:05pm On Nov 08, 2020 |
About 15 hours ago, Joe Biden was announced US President-elect after days of predictions and teasing moments. No one could determine who will lead the country at the beginning of the votes, it seemed like a close race. But then, numbers starting changing on the graph and more eyes turned to Biden. As expected – and as he has repeatedly mentioned – incumbent President Donald Trump has yet agreed that the election should go the way of Biden, but more expectedly is Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, who is usually quick to respond to events outside his country, and pretend like his own country is not on fire.

As reported by Channels Television, a federal high court in Abuja has granted the request of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to freeze the accounts of 19 individuals and a public affairs company linked to the #EndSARS protests. The request, granted by Justice Ahmed Mohammed, was filed by the CBN on October 20, 2020, the same day the #LekkiMassacre happened. Read more |

President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to Nigerian youths to end street protests and participate in meaningful dialogue with government aimed at comprehensive reforms to end all forms of police brutality against Nigerians. According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President, represented by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Muhammad Bello, spoke at the maiden National Youth Day programme with the theme “Invest in the youth, secure our future” held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The organisation of one of the most successful protests in Nigeria’s history, #EndSARS, has hit blood arteries and the pain is causing affected so-called Nigerians – holding leadership positions – to react rather violently. It is no news that the protests started on social media and was taken to the streets and, in an attempt to stop that from happening again, the real ‘hoodlums’ are fighting back. Read more |
| Politics › 7 People Who Should Have Resigned Following #endsars Protests And #lekkimassacre by Richmatt(op): 5:25pm On Oct 26, 2020 |
After two weeks of sustained protests led by young people demanding the end of police brutality, President Muhammadu Buhari finally deigned it fit to address the nation. He was forced to this eventuality after officers of the Nigerian Army shot at unarmed, peaceful protesters at the Lekki tollgate site. The demands of the protesters were straightforward. Instead of good faith engagement, elected government officials- from federal to local government- found a way to take every wrong turn possible. These shocking acts of sabotage against a generation of Nigerians led to the tragic escalation of events that should have led to mass resignations, firings and even legal prosecutions. Sadly, not one person has been made to face the consequences of their actions. Read more |
| Politics › Nigeria Is Not A Democratic State, The Presidential Address Is Proof | #endsars by Richmatt(op): 10:47pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
For all intents and purposes, the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a democratic state, at least it ought to be. Yet, when the elected president of the federation address a nation in turmoil and steeped in grief and he alludes that his prompt response to the demands made by the people who voted him into office - a demand for a life free from the fear of being brutalised by the Nigerian Police Force no more – was misconstrued as a sign of weakness and hence his decision to deploy the military to summarily execute completely peaceful protesters, one begins to wonder if the act if up.

| Politics › Osinbajo Is Sorry Again And Unlike Sanwo-olu, Accepts Lives Were Lost by Richmatt(op): 1:05am On Oct 22, 2020 |
It is Day 15 of the #EndSARS protests. One day after the #LekkiMassacre - a day already written in the history of Nigeria when armed security operatives, working on the orders of a yet unknown Nigerian, fired live ammunition directly as peaceful protesters. Even Shakespeare's protege cannot rewrite that historical event. It is also years since President Muhammadu Buhari, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and the 'father of the nation' (an allusion to the dismantling of the presidential system), addressed the country - the same one that is already on fire.

It is Day 14 of the #EndSARS protests. Nine days since the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, announced the disbandment of the deadly Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), eight days since the #5for5 demands submitted by the protesting youth, eight days since President Muhammadu Buhari last thought protesting youth are tired of police brutality. Three days since Vice President Yemi Osinbajo finally found his lost microphone to soro soke. And, only five days since state governors started intervening in the protests. Read more |

Who would have known that it will take 7 whole days before forces in government places begin to take action? But, today is the 8th day and the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, is dragging his feet on actual reforms. He probably thinks the #EndSARS movement is another 2020 joke. Read more |
| Politics › #fgnbudget2021: FG Still Do Not Care What Happens In The Health Sector by Richmatt(op): 10:41pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
In every functional society, healthcare is given priority due to its importance in the scheme of things. Quality healthcare is non-negotiable and must be made available for the wellbeing of the people. Unfortunately, Nigerian leaders do not seem to care much about this because they can go on medical tourism to access the best healthcare services around the world, leaving citizens to manage what is left of the already deteriorated healthcare system.

We are still counting days – or hours – from when the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, sent a beautifully-written letter to the press, acknowledging the rot in the police system and the existence of bad eggs, who will be flushed out in no time. A letter that rode on the back of ‘change’ and prompted popular singer, Naira Marley to cancel a planned protest just hours before it was scheduled to hold. Read more |

For the umpteenth time now, Nigerians have taken to social media to call on the government to scrap the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) for atrocities we can no longer count. The unlawful killing of Nigerians has become a norm with the SARS operatives. Unfortunately, the government has turned a deaf ear to the plight of the people while its citizens are being killed and treated like common criminals. Read more |
