Wow. They thought it is Nigeria where they can act with impunity?
This is disappointing. They got cleared by the police and immigration. The organisers also got cleared to host the show. Ugandan celebrities reported them specially because the organisers did not include any Ugandan musicians and felt 'foreigners' were allowed to perform while they have been put out of business.

If anything, the organisers are the ones who ought to answer to the Ugandan authorities, not celebrities who were brought in by a promoter.

Grayoso:
When will you people learn to accept that the world does not revolve around Tinubu alone? The likes of Osinbajo and Fashola can also become President if well-supported by all in APC the same way Buhari was strongly supported by the SW etal in 2015.


This is why Yorubas will always be above you guys. We recognise the flaws and fallibility of man and don't see anyone as messianic as you lot do.

Yorubas 2023 Presidential ambition is bigger than Tinubu. Even the Jagaban himself knows and accepts this.
Drop the flat chest for a minute. This is a classic signature move. The North is a greedy region, always wanting all and despite that, they would always cry that it is never enough.

A far strange group in Northeastern Nigeria affirmed there was indeed a gentleman agreement between the SW and the APC and the purpose of their existence is to see that this agreement is honoured. While doing this, they went after the North West, where demonic el Rufai and other round, pot-bellied politicians are scheming of thwarting whatever move it is Tinubu has in store and also warding off Jonathan like an evil spirit.

Fashola was once worthy but he is now senseless. Power has corrupted him. Osinbajo looks worthy enough but he still won't get a chance if he does not get the support of Tinubu. Tinubu, on the other hand, wouldn't support any of his anointed proteges if they do not intend to serve his purpose.

It is a simple political arithmetic.

The North is not a united front as we've been deceived into believing. It has always been the Northwest while the Northeast has been overlooked, no thanks to terrorism raving the region.

2023 will be interesting and one thing that is certain is that it will forever change some narratives about this country, that is, if the country is still standing by then.

The South East thinks they should be given power, the South West is claiming there is a gentleman agreement between our failed president and Tinubu, Jonathan from the core South is eyeing a second return, Atiku of Cameroon and Adamawa from North East Nigeria believes he is not tired of trying, certain North West politicians are thinking of pushing another of their own because they aren't enjoying the misrule and misgovernance of Buhari and believe they will use the Kardashians to their advantage like they do in every election. Meanwhile, a certain North East group is warning everybody to shelve their 2023 dreams because they are the far away avengers of a South West political juggernut.

It smells like Tinubu. It tastes like Tinubu. It must be Tinubu.
Politics › Presidency: Northern Group Warns Jonathan Against Contesting In 2023 by Sanchez01(op): 9:33am On Dec 14, 2020
Arising from a meeting in Gombe, NYLF also warned political elites from the Northwest, not to present any candidate vying either for the office of the president or the vice president. The group threatened to resist any such candidates from the Northwest.

The Northern Youth Leaders Forum (NYLF) has vowed to mobilise against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) if the party goes against zoning its presidential ticket to the Southwest in 2023.

Arising from a meeting in Gombe, NYLF also warned political elites from the Northwest, not to present any candidate vying either for the office of the president or the vice president. The group threatened to resist any such candidates from the Northwest.

The group also advised former President Goodluck Jonathan to resist the temptation of those trying to lure him back into the contest in 2023.

A statement signed by the NYLF's national chairman, Elliot Afiso, counselled the APC to respect zoning arrangements in the party to ensure equity.

The statement reads, "We're informed that a gentleman agreement exists within the APC. Therefore, we advised that the party (APC), should produce its presidential flag-bearer from the Southwest."

While acknowledging that the People's Democratic Party (PDP) lost its zoning arrangement in 2011, NYLF believed that the Northeast region deserves to produce the party's presidential candidate in 2023.

"We want to state clearly that the power rotation in the PDP was dead and buried in 2011 and as such, the PDP is advised to pick its presidential candidate from the north-east if at all, the party intends to make headway and bounce to power in 2023.

"On the rumoured intention and interests by the former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, we want to sincerely and categorically state that he should not accept any invitation to contest under any party because the north as it is now, would never vote for him no matter the indices.

"In the same vein, we want to advise our elders and elites from the north-west to shelve or discontinue any interest in the presidency or vice presidency come 2023 for the interest and unity of the northern region.

"The NYLF which has overwhelming membership and support from north-west has resolved not to support or vote for any party that presents her candidate from the north-west for the presidency or vice presidency."

How do you know so much about her?
Lol! cheesy

We actually met last year on the Island through a mutual friend at an event. Although the meeting was shortlived, I got to know she works at BBC through the friend and that she is good at what she does. I had never heard about her or her works and the whole hype was surprising. However, she spent most of the evening sitting alone and fiddling with her phone and I never stopped to wonder what sort of human being comes to an event 'only to come and be pressing phone'. I followed on Twitter around that time last year and managed to figure the relationship ish must have made her keep to herself that evening.

But before now, she never stopped tweeting about how she is single, depressed, tempted to slice her wrists, insomniac nights, late-night foods, etc.

I only got to know the why just three days ago, despite dropping a hint in November.

obailala:
I've been struggling to make sense of this story. If she invested so much in the sex-for-grade documentary and Kiki seems to be the one getting accolades, is that the reason she wants to die? What exactly did the Kiki lady do?
1. The story isn't about the fame or money. Oge is a reserved person and took on the identity of Kemi during the entire documentary.

2. She caught her boyfriend who is also a BBC staff in a compromising situation with Kiki. Sadly, the guy broke up with her not too long after. Another of her trusted friend whom she liked also got down with Kiki. Somehow, those ones influenced her caving in the more during the whole thing.

3. She is not just hurt by Kiki's claim over her sweat, the fact that that one person did her repeatedly (career, fame and man) got to her for a long time.

4. She spoke up about the SFG documentary in November but got bullied by fans of Kiki.

5. While Ruona was trying to make the world recognize Oge, feminist coalition members have been bullying Oge deliberately because she decided to tell the world that she caught Kiki Mordi with her man. Meanwhile, Kemi Olunloyo had revealed that Kiki Mordid ended Oge's relationships since last year.

6. Apparently too soft for social media, the bullying got to Oge that feminist coalition and Kiki Mordi stans suggested she took both cyanide and ricin when she suggested which to take.

7. She had been battling depression for a while before the bullying within the past few days. But bulk of it was because of her relationships and then the recent documentary coming to light.

There was no indicator to me and I can’t think of any indicator that won’t go off when you meet a man’s family and they are nice to you.

Thanks for your advice
Well, in your case, there was. I share bukatyne's sentiment on his religion as it allows for that. There is no denying that he might have told his family or those you met that he intended marrying you as a second wife. Perhaps that could have been his true intention and not necessarily the fling.

I once witnessed a friend's case, similar to yours but the guy wasn't married at the time. He had them up to four and would take them home for the parents to assess them before he thought to choose from the lot and continue playing the others. The friend in question was only lucky to have been told by the guy's sister after she got her a gift. The saddest part was he never married none of them despite managing them for years, with the least being a year.

It is never enough just knowing a man's family.

Sorry about your plight though. I wouldn't advise you you snoop in subsequent relationships. I believe why you got played was because you failed to do due diligence on him. Often times, the blameless, perfect man is one with a woman at home OR one who is single but has grown over time. Sadly, they fall into the former category, for the most part.

There will always be indicators that something isn't right but the voice of love and emotion often overshadows all others. Snooping isn't the way to good. If you ask the right questions, you will always find a questionable response that could give clues on what the other person is lying about or not willing to share. But does it mean you can rely on their words alone? Well, that is subjective.

Webmasters › Re: Internet Price Cut: What It Should Tell You by Sanchez01(m): 10:06am On Dec 11, 2020
ImadeUReadThis:
This same APC govt urged telecoms to increase their data tarrifs and has placed VAT charges on purchase of such .

The argument for this imposed tarrif hike by the former Minister for communication which was approved by a FEC meeting chaired by Buhari himself was based on the assumption that higher tarrifs will limit access to social media and the internet in general. VAT was added to both milk the populace and impose further limitations on internet access by the growing impoverished masses.

The same govt that wanted to limit social media access via tarrif hikes as a form of internet censorship has now done a turnaround to see tarrifs slashed by over 50%. We must ask ourselves why .

Our world will be barely recognizable by this time next year if the lunatics at WEF/IMF have their way.

IMF wants an end to individual soverign paper currencies and in it's place a single global digital currency. This currency will only be possible with cheap and fast internet connection.

For this currency to be rolled in, the old must go and to make the transition as quick as possible , every soverign nation's currency must be made worthless. To achieve this , bankruptcy and economic collapse must occur which this Buhari APC govt is expertly implimenting.

Yes, Buhari and his voodoo economics team are deliberatly sabotaging Nigeria's economy from both outright corruption and deliberate sabotage blaming the fake pandemic for it.

Imagine Nigeria as a house that must come down and in it's place a new edifice is to be errected. The new owners of Nigeria do not care about salvaging anything from the demolition but have given those who they contracted the demolition excersice (APC) salvaging rights. This is the true and only agenda of the APC which the powers that be propped them up in 2015.

In summary, expect more crash in data pricing and roll out of 5G networks. 5G towers are already in Abuja since 2017 under test run. Anyone that tells you contrary is a liar!.

While 5G on its own has been documented to emit radiation and cell towers using this tech have since been declared a class 2 carcinogenic , the real issie behind 5G isn't the health risk but what it really meant to serve.

Who needs 5G super data speed connection? Definitely not the average Joe. In South Korea they tested 5G connectivity reception among smart phone users and the results where disappointing as most did not see the speed advantage of 5G to that of 4G . Other than super download speeds in ripping off a video from the net, none of the participants could not discern the difference with 4G. All apps are optimized to use 4G and no one knows what benefits 5G will offer the average Joe but it has ample uses by state actors wanting to maintain a total surveliance state. The Pentagon has been using 5G tech for the past decade which provides real time comms links by Seal team members deep in the front directly to operational command base in the Pentagon half a world away. The raid on Osama bin Laden's compound was streamed livd directly to the WH situation room using this tech. In short only state actors, multinational corporate giants and the lunatics in the IMF will benefit directly from this technology.

With the IMF the benefits are for it having to dominate every single trade transaction on the planet with their digital currency.

The APC is crashing internet pricing on the behest of the IMF.

Remember this is the same APC that has been itching to censor and monitor the internet.
Permit me to quote this but your claims are without proof and are baseless. I had a stint in the telco industry for three years and I worked in one of its core units; a part that allows for better understanding of data network types. You claimed 5G networks have been around since 2017 but under test. The question is: By who? The NCC, a mere regulator of the industry, the FG that does not have the capacity to procure hightech devices to better run the country or the ISPs, namely the BIG 4? Around this time, I was rounding off to leave the sector and there was never any rumour remotely tied to your claim. 4G was launched by Airtel in May 2018, in Abuja, being the FCT before it slowly spread to other parts of the country but you are claiming 4G has been around before thenhuh

Again, who has been testing this 5G in Abuja; MainOne, Glo, Airtel, MTN, Ericsson, Huawei or the FG? Who provided the 5G equipment and facility for the tests? Who was the 5G deployed to Abuja and through which submarine cables?

There is no denying that the FG has so many misplaced priorities. There is a limit to how the NCC can interfere in the sector. The operation costs are too high to have data prices slashed by 50% in this present economy.

AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile all started deploying 5G in the United States last year. Big govt agencies such as Pentagon have been running on 100 Mbps LAN, from 4G, with managed data farms.

Government agencies, schools, banks and other sectors all use special, dedicated internet types that can conveniently allow you stream even 8K resolutions without buffering for a minute. all of these depend on the depth of your company's pocket.

The Osama 5G claim is preposterous. The streaming was done via satellite. 5G was launched in the world in 2018, the year 4G was announced and deployed in Nigeria. Verizon 'shocked' the world by announcing its 5G home network, the same year, 2018.

Osama was killed in 2011, yet you claimed Pentagon has been using 5G since 2011? As at 2016, 5G was only a rumour and it wasn't until 2019 that South Korea became the first country to launch 5G. So how Nigeria, a third world country had started tests for 5G in 2017 when 4G was officially launched in 2018 is beyond me. This is Pastor Chris' conspiracy finding its way to Nairaland.

Kiki Mordi didn't sideline her 'colleague'. Oge Obi conceptualized, pitched, researched and co-produced the investigate piece but only invited Kiki Mordi to do the TV narration.

Kiki Mordi was never in any UNILAG office. That was Oge Obi. What's worse is that she has been receiving awards and claiming her university experience led her into the documentary.

Kiki Mordi is not the type to venture into investigate journalism. She is not that creative. What's worse, she never gave a dime to Oge from the thousands of Dollars grants won. Not a dime!

The irony for me is that she is a feminist who supposedly support females but unfortunately profits off them.

Every tribe has their own name.. YouTube people call us "Omo ije okuta ma my omi" mean people who eat stone without drinking water.

Igbo call youruba "idi ofe imanu" meaning people with oily soup.

While Igbo people can hausa "Idi ugh" meaning people from the hill.

So every tribe get their own nickname but you need to be careful on how to use it because it sounds provocative to someone people same way nigroooo sound offensive to blacks.

At this heat of disintegration you de name ur single inyamuri, u won provoke some people.
Well, true. Branding as a result of what you eat isn't a crime.

I know for a fact that the Yorubas refer to Igbo folks as 'Aj'okuta ma m'omi' (One who eats stone without drinking water - Origin: The Igbo Akpu is stronger and stone-like compared to the typical Yoruba fufu' and then there is 'Ndi ofe mmanu' (Oil soup eater - Origin: The Yorubas obviously fancy palm oil to vegetable oil and they use it in abundance when cooking).

Where I'm from, we have a name for the Yorubas, Hausas and Igbos based on obvious habits. Regardless, the scenario is a bit different when 'Inyamuri' is compared with all other aforementioned names. There is a sad story to the name the earliest people who branded the names on the Igbo people did so out of spite and ridicule. While the average Northerner might not understand that it is derogatory, using the same in a body of work even though the song is non provocative is a huge miss. Research should be the foundation of every creative works.
