I know say dis go reach FP cos na this blogger but wait, when these bloggers tell us to read more, na Wetin we dey read? P Square interview the guy abi no be only pictures you get?

AkayTopsy:
Definitely we cannot underestimate the power of advertisement, and how the sponsorship of BBN has positively brought Payporte to the notice of a wider population.

Below is Alexa rating of Payporte site as at Jan 22 when the show started and today Apr 15. Over 1000 steps up.

The popularity in the first quarter of 2016 coincided with the time they signed Olajumoke as Brand Ambassador. I think they've not been able to cash in on brief popularity they achieve. For example, like someone said, actual service speaks louder than any paparazzi

OP, you forget this picture for your narration

The Itire Police division is really complicit in this incident. It is better when there is no police man at all but where police na im deh giv agbero backing, na one chance we enter be dat. I saw all the vehicles damaged - from Alves to Aborishade to Durojaiye to Omobola - God go punish devil!!!! Motor wey dey condemn sef, dem break am. All cars on the streets were broken and we say we get police. Naija na sorry country.


Abeg Oga Fatai Owoseni, all your men at Itire unit, please sack them or punish dem. I dey fear o. When hoodlums begin dey settle police and give dem freehand, then u need to punish dem.

To show you where d itire police wicked reach, SARS pipul came and d policemen said that there was no fight, say na just neighbourhood issue. God punish devil again. If you wan rent house wey no get parking space, na two chance u enter.

What I noticed is how Tboss was in the middle in that group picture. That speaks a lot.

Choiszman:
Thanks for the info bro...The board man is actually a friend to my elder brother and their family house is at ikorodu.

Although i haven't seen him in a while but he told my brother about the whole shii

Plus, he also has a bet9ja shop at ikorodu, so i just guessed it was there

My bad...i'm sorry

You guys will eventually tell us all about their lives all the way from Benue to Lagos - respect people's privacy!

Did anyone see this interview?

Marian was just overly sentimental and did not even hide it. Olisa too.

It was only the guy on the left that was more professional (I think he is called Ush Bebe or so). I think radio stations should just mount a CCTV in their studios or cameras to give a professional capture but this video shows that what you hear from you radio is filled with unseen emotions. TTT was not comfortable in this interview and it showed. I later heard Gbemi and Toolz talk about the 'roasting' later in the day.

I condemn his philandering and whathaveyou but I do not appreciate the way the interviewers conducted themselves. Ebuka's face when he was answering his questions is epic - that's how they should have behaved.

Have we all heard the guy's response too

If what the guy is saying is correct, then the movie guys don't know anything. You can't just use someone's shop or office without seeking permission first. They are also aware how expensive it is to use actual locations for movies abroad.

Everyone has bought the lady's story but no one heard from the guy.

You don't get the sarcasm in my post

Hope this is not for children below 18

You don't understand the sub in that message

Another blesphemy. Now go and change ur moniker den i will believe u. because to me all Muslims in Nigeria were given a mandate to vote buhari. In fact its haram to vote a kafir. Next time i pray we nigerians will cast our vote with no regard to ethnicity or religion. Dat is only we will be ready to move forward. At a point in time for d safety of my life i had to pray dat buhari wins

Eeya, these Muslims must be hypocrites oh. They failed to vote in a Muslim for a common Kafir twice, how na

Iamwrath:
Thank you Al Jazeera we are not afraid

I don't understand why the OP didn't copy the rest of the article -

Fisayo Soyombo was the pioneer editor of Nigerian online newspaper TheCable.

The views expressed in this article are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect Al Jazeera's editorial policy

You give the impression that Al Jazeera is analysing the story, whereas Fisayo wrote an article about the issue.

Lalasticlala, Nairaland may not be the best place to even post this because before we say "El", be it Zakhzaky or Rufai, emotions trump reason. The level of tribalism on Seun's website is an indication of the mindset of the average Nigerian.

Sigh. Usually, the most tricky topic for me to discuss regarding Nigeria’s nationhood is religion and ethnicity. Difficult to discuss not because I’m afraid of being verbally molested and splashed with mud, but because emotive issues hardly lend themselves to reason. Ethno-religious matters are so emotionally charged that reason is always the first casualty. When emotions trump reason, we can never reach a consensus on finding lasting solutions. Yet it is solutions, not emotions, that we need in these trying times. We badly need peace. You will say there cannot be peace without justice — and I will add that there cannot be justice without reason.



Whenever I read reports and comments on the southern Kaduna crisis, the first question I ask myself is: so what exactly is responsible for the latest round of killings? I am yet unable to put my finger on the justification for the carnage. I may here recall historical tensions between the Christian and Muslim communities in northern Nigeria. I may allow myself to speculate that these historical tensions habitually reach a tipping point with the slightest hint of friction. I am thus induced to think that the Kaduna carnage resulted more from age-long deep-seated mutual hate and animosity rather than recent events. It takes only a little spark to start another explosion.



To understand the context, I cannot doubt that the issue of framing is at play in the Kaduna crisis . It has been successfully framed in the media (not by the media) as a
religious war. This is understandable. Southern Kaduna is predominantly Christian and the Fulani herders are Muslims. It is somewhat expected to be cast as Christians vs Muslims rather than Kaura, Sanga et al vs Fulani herders.



This is the same way the
Berom vs Fulani in Jos north was cast as
Christians vs Muslims . It just so happens that people in the same local grouping are not unlikely to be of the same religion. Ethno-religious framing is thus inevitable, even if the core issues have nothing to do with religion.
Indeed, in northern Nigeria, primary identities are constructed around religion. You are first a Muslim or a Christian before you are a northerner. Whenever there is a clash, therefore, the issue at hand does not really matter — Christians (including those from southern Nigeria) will automatically queue up behind Christians and Muslims behind Muslims.



Compare and contrast with the south where conflicts are not framed around religion, insofar as religion is not the actual cause. If southern communities fight over economic issues, such as land and water resources, it is automatically treated with the template of communal clash.
In Ebonyi state, Ezza and Ezillo communities in Ishielu local government clash quite often over land. On a single day, December 31, 2011 to be specific, 66 persons were killed, including pregnant women, men and children. It was a communal clash since they are all Igbo Christians. Recently, 40 persons were killed in a communal clash between Ntan Obu-Ukpe in Cross River state and Ikpanya in Akwa Ibom state. Also recently, 10 persons died in a communal clash between Usumutong and Ediba in Cross River. But 800 people were killed in a religious war between southern Kaduna villages and Fulani herders. Religion catches more national attention, in any case.



Down south, identities are, in the main, constructed around ethnicity but rarely religion. You are first a Yoruba, Igbo, etc
before you are a southerner. When Mr. Babatunde Fashola, as governor of Lagos state, “deported” homeless Igbo to Onitsha in 2012, it was framed as Yoruba vs Igbo . It was not treated as a case of Muslims vs Christians
even though Fashola is a Muslim and the “deported” Igbo are Christians. (Let me quickly digress: northerners will complain about the number of federal appointments based on the number of northern Muslims on the list — whereas southerners will first look at the number of Igbo, Yoruba, etc, before other criteria.)



If Malam Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, were to “deport” homeless Berom to Plateau state, it has to be Muslim vs Christian
since el-Rufai is a Muslim and the Berom are Christians. Contrast with Mr. Simon Lalong, governor of Plateau state, “deporting” homeless Tiv to Benue state. Since Lalong is a Christian and the Tiv are mostly Christian, the “deportation” will be framed differently. That is why even though bandits (most likely the same people operating in southern Kaduna) have for long been terrorising Zamfara communities, killing over 300 in the last one year, it is not framed as a religious war but banditry . After all, it is Muslims killing Muslims.


We may, at this point, return to the southern Kaduna carnage. What is basically a case of
criminality has taken the colour of a religious war. Not unexpectedly, our religious fault line is being magnified one more time by agents of war. Identity, twinned with political preferences and limited economic opportunities, are not only mobilisable but highly combustible. Predictably, Christians are queuing up behind Christians and Muslims behind Muslims. The real issues of criminality and insecurity — which bedevil all Nigerians irrespective of tribe and tongue, region and religion — are hardly discussed. Most reactions start and stop with religion.




I must think that in all our outpour of emotions, we need to address the root causes of this carnage. I have not set out to deny that there is a religious content to the crisis in Kaduna. Instead, I have sought to prove the source of the tensions, suggesting that religion is latent rather than pertinent. It gets even worse when political leaders and security agencies are thought to be looking the other way while these killings are being perpetrated. I am compelled to that I have not set out to further inflame passions. I am unable to compete, in this regard, with the clerics who are spitting fire and threatening brimstone rather than playing the role of the blessed peacemakers.



In these challenging times, what would Jesus do? What would Jesus preach? What would Jesus advocate? An eye for an eye? I understand the frustrations and the disappointment with government handling of the carnage, but under no circumstance must we advocate more violence as the solution. Our energies, I propose, should focus on how to end the bloodbath. We should seek to be problem solvers, not problem multipliers. We should demand that the government live up to its responsibility. Truth be told: in southern Kaduna, Nigeria failed its citizens. This led to reprisal and self-defence. When the state fails in its duty, anarchy is the consequence.



The primary reason there is a government is to prevent anarchy. The state exists principally for the purpose of security, law and order. Monetary policies and siren-propelled convoys are secondary. Every local government in Nigeria has at least one security attaché from the Department of State Services (DSS). The job of the attaché is to gather intelligence. Where were these security attachés before the Kaduna killings erupted? What intelligence did they gather? What reports did they file? When tension started building up, did they report it? If they did, what action did the authorities take? Do people pile up arms and start killing one another within one hour?


It would seem to me that the DSS and police are more interested in the politics of Rivers and Ekiti states than the security of lives and property of Nigerians. The energies they have devoted to playing politics could have been better utilised protecting the lives of defenceless Nigerians. I repeat: the Nigerian state has woefully failed its citizens. The blood of the people killed in southern Kaduna — whether Christians or Muslims — will continue to haunt the Nigerian authorities who failed to protect them in their hour of need. In civilised societies, heads of security agencies would have resigned by now for their ineptitude. But, remember, we’re discussing Nigeria here. Sigh.

Bojo haram is just a political tool used by northern Muslim oligarchs to oust a southern christian president.

The southern chriatain has been ousted and there is a sitting northern Muslim president .

Mission accomplished..

Sambisa forest captured by the military..excellent..

But without a single resistance from book haram? (how nice)

Meanwhile..Christians dominated northern states like Kaduna ,taraba ,plateau ,Benue, and kogi remain killing fields of armed herdsmen..

Kudos to FG for 'defeating ' boko haram

So, when Boko Haram started their craze in 2009, it was about a Christian president kwa? When Yar Adua's government ordered for Mohammed Yusuf's death, na xtian government abi? I don't think you have a fair idea of who BH guys are. If you have any family member around the area, you'll see how unrelated your comment is. BH guys that killed Muslims, Christians, ransacked villages etc, you are here doing Muslim oligarch stuff.

The killing of BH guys when they returned from that burial, the public killing of Yusuf and the alleged atrocities of our security forces took this stuff out of control.

He is 70 today by 2019 he would be 73 and the same people who said Buhari was an Islamic old man want to present this Islamic old man to us?


Atiku is not a man i can trust tho

Please who is an Islamic old man This is the first time I am hearing this.

kayjasper:
Thanks for the correction ... I actually forgot Maccido cos his reign was short.

10 years a short reign? A decade Even Dan Fodio had 10 years. It's easier to forget Dasuki's short reign (8 years) than Maccido's. Maccido died ten years ago and tributes were paid to him recently.

We all learn everyday, don't take it p.

Pascal Dozie is the reason why Diamond Bank is there

They are already snapping in the other room? Which other room are you guys looking for?

It is so annoying the way people have become so disrespectful and mentally ill by talking about someone's mum, spouse, in-law etc in a sexual manner on this site. Seun, is Nairaland now the pervert's nest Common!!!!

I am afraid of this little gentleman. The level of predatory instincts that I see in him at this young should be a concern to anyone who can identify sexual predators.

This image could have been anything particularly when photos are taken in motion. Adults here are the ones we should be worried about 'cos I can bet what we are thinking is not what is happening here.

we are all just dumb.
thats a blank check.
no name addressed to cash the check

nothing.
all ma just 1mil for fhucking paper.
shows how illiteracy has eaten deep into our youths,our wannabe bloggers and hopeless site called nairaland.

No, that is not nothing, it is something. At least I can deduce that AY is the CEO at Corporate World Entertainment Limited. All it takes is for the guy to write his name and AY signs beside it. He intentionally left out the name I guess

Those 3 IPOB(iwobi,kelechi,mikel) will help us qualify so never to worry. Has anyone noticed that almost all football legends in nigeria are IPOB?

Every thing is not about tribe Oga. From Balogun to Odegbami to Yekini to Finidi George to Babangida or Yaro, no one cares except that they are Nigerians. FYI, football is made up of a team and is one of the few things that brings Nigerians together. SO, shove that nonsense somewhere else please. #BigotAlert

This is a GUEST APPEARANCE not a selfie, otherwise, he won't be holding the pilot on his arms.

That pilot get sense, he use specs cover him eyes.

Yakubu Gowon was president over 30 years ago, has anyone seen him on a commercial flight before Nigerians, think and think well

That is an Arik pilot, figure!

On a lighter note, passengers are not usually allowed to just check out the pilot but being a military man, e be like say baba wan confam who him go place him live on when dem dey air!

Nigerian youths.What ever is wrong with you all? How did it get this bad? You see a 17 yr old and all you can think of is how she is "ripe for gbenshing".Why sexually objectify (a) barely legal teen(s)? What are ur brains made of? Pornn filled mush? How did you all regress to sex staved Neanderthals? Or rather,evolve into closet peadophiles and potential rapists? How? I pity women all the time. I really do.

They spend most of their times on the internet and watch a lot of visuals. Consequently, they have become 'visually stimulated' to the extent that women are mere objects to them. Also, if the woman is well dressed, their imaginations can rip off her clothes. Dangers of irresponsible use of technology gadgets.
