He was found guilty on the strength of the witnesses of the prosecution, who gave 'overwhelming evidence that the loud gunshot ave the judgment date on July 13 after the adoption of final written addresses by counsel in the case.
Please who understood this?

BurnaBoy is bigger according to you and you have other artistes in Warri to call but you still went for Davido and paid him ₦100m upfront?
Clown!!

So the nurse injected him and left the syringes with the needles in his house?
As a souvenir or what?
Clowns.
These are the police some people are praising are doing a good job of the investigation.
Jokers!
An artiste living in Lekki and doing quite well for himself,calling on a nurse he can pay 20k to come and treat him at home!!

loswhite:
He literally killed himself. How can you have money and not have sense? How can you set your body for a nurse to just come and inject you?

With all the money he has,they are the type that come and price you 10k or max 20k in the hospital,him and his gang shouting at the top of their voices,"what did u do,is it not only drip and injection you gave that you are calling xx amount.What will u now charge if it's delivery or is it operation?" On and on.
So they prefer someone they will pay 10k and dictate what the person should do at a place of their choosing.

Asides founding nairaland,which is no mean feat,by any stretch of the imagination, Seun's views and outlook in life is way below standard.
So setting up nairaland,a successful venture no doubt,does not necessarily mean Seun is an astute entrepreneur or a good chief executive or manager.
It's just like a one time Chelsea manager,Roberto Di Matteo that won the club its first champions league.
That was his one and only achievement as a club manager,everyother place he came from or went to he was just average or failed woefully and no one today regards him as a good manager despite the champions league triumph.

All those shouting the police did a good job are pure jokers!
Why conclude when autopsy report is yet to be released?
So the autopsy is just for fun when Nigerian police,in their usual jankara way have concluded on the person that killed him?
What are the gross findings from the autopsy,that would show if there was any trauma or underlying health issue that had compromised some or any of his organs or systems,not yet out!!
What of the toxicology report that would show if there was any drug in his system or unusually high levels of any drug that would normally not cause any problem when used in therapeutic doses,not yet out!!!
Yet the police has named the prime suspect,pronto.
Clowns!
It should surprise any medical person that a healthy man would die from therapeutic doses of the drugs mentioned,unless the nurse overdosed him on an already compromised health status or without sufficient hydration.

Offpoint1:
The only state I've not visited is Borno.





If not for religious madness, North is the best part of Nigeria.

The Hausas/Northerners are the most simple and honest people on the planet.

I enjoyed the vast open land, I hated their extreme weather conditions, and as for food, I'm intolerance to other cultures food. I've never tasted any food outside my culture.

Oh North!
Anytime someone mentions the north I just have nostalgia about that place.
I said it,if north for the havoc Buhari caused with insecurity,I had plans to spend at least 3weejs or a month in the North,spending at least 5 days in at least the five states of ,Kaduna,Zamfara,Sokoto and Kebbi and even Kogi.
Another time then do the same for the axis of Benue,Nassarawa,Plateau,maybe Kano and even Borno.

victory36:
then pls explain why this 'jazz' wasn't used when the British invaded west Africa or during the slave trade

People whose ancestors exchanged their most physically endowed men and most beautiful women for a piece of mirror or a bowler hat.
At least if there was African jazz it would have been very potent back then when the traditions and beliefs were 'pretty pure' and undiluted.
Yes,the jazz was impotent as the Whiteman on a regular basis,multiple times a year over centuries,carted away generations of able bodied men and women.
Where some resisted,1 or 2 Dane guns then used by the colonialist was all it took to silence everyone!
Centuries after,the average Blackman in majority black Nations,governed purely by blacks,can still not manufacture an automatic gun.
Inventing a rocket that can go to space,that is now becoming as common as manufacturing a car,still looks like discovering where God resides,to a black led Nation.

This oponu is trying very hard to get an appointment.
In his mind,if keyamo can be a minister today from a charge and bail then mere EFCC lawyer,without winning a single case,then he too can get an at least a parastatal appointment by licking Tinubu's a rse no matter how bad it stinks

UptownVibes:
Yoruba people are terrible people. See them defending fraud with their full chest...

If you notice,these are keyboard employees.
Check the pattern of response you would notice it's just insults on Atiku,Tinubu will reign for 8yrs,the SC won't do natter,all stereotyped responses by paid nairaland sycophants of Tinubu.
It's also clear that because the responses are programmed,many if not all didn't even watch the video or wait to read what Atiku said.
Not a single address of the issues raised.

Tua!!
Nauseating,stone aged creatures that should have remained colonised and save humanity this embarassment that some Nigerians in the 21st century have become.
I gave up on the average Nigerian when I heard how professors,people with degrees and other graduands,even some of them science graduands(1)believed salt could cure ebola and were actively using it (2)believe that old women can turn to birds,as witches and fly long distances to hurt people at night,then during day time change back to their aged human forms.
So this one is not a surprise.
That policemen even arrested the man shows that even stone aged Caucasian ancestors with more sense than some of today's Nigerians.
I am sure if not for Mary Slessor,twins in all parts of Nigeria would have been murdered as soon as they were born because Nigerians would still have believed twins are witches and wizards conceived to torment the mother and cause havoc to communities where they were born.

femisplash:
I don't know why APC guys can't ignore this mo'fucka. Jagaban ignored their existence and still won, he rendered the station irrelevant.

You must be joking right?
Rendered arise irrelevant or it's even now the viewership has increased.
Who wants to watch NTA or even channels?
Normally,in every open society,it's the tv or radio station that seems to be questioning or asking hard questions of the goverment in power that has the highest viewership and interest.
It's the common norm in tv or radio worldwide.
That is why arise can't stop because the owner and guys like this journalist know they are sort of speaking and asking the questions the people on the streets and outside goverment cannot ask and viewers would continue tuning in to them.
Let me give you a shock:in one of the offices at Lagos State secretariat,the station is permanently on Arise!

promise4040:
Patricia Ogele, a 24-year-old sales girl, had reduced her expenses since November 2022 in a bid to get a smartphone for herself around August of this year. But her plan was thwarted by stubbornly high inflation, which has worsened the cost-of-living crisis in the country.

According to Ogele, everything changed when she could no longer afford transport to work after the cost of transport doubled, and she had to start dipping into her savings.

“I think many people are not talking about projects this year. Being able to afford basic needs is already a project in the country. All plans to get myself a good phone have failed. I earn just N35,000, which is barely enough to last me for the month. I had no option but to get something similar to the Nokia 3310 for N8,500 as that was what I could afford,” she said.

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that inflation soared to an 18-year high of 25.80 percent in August from 24.08 percent in July.

The rising cost of living has diminished consumers’ buying power, forcing a growing number of individuals to opt for older second-generation (2G) devices as they are unable to afford modern alternatives.

According to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), 2G continues to be the dominant technology in Nigeria’s mobile market with 60.32 percent of the country’s 220.36 million mobile subscriptions on the 2G network as of August 2023 compared to 58.36 percent in May 2023.

This increase comes as a result of the economic downturn, which has left many individuals and families struggling to afford high-speed internet plans and modern smartphones.

“During times of economic uncertainty, we typically see a shift in consumer behaviour as people look for ways to tighten their budgets,” said Sarah Johnson, a telecommunications industry analyst.

“The shift towards 2G services and devices is a clear example of this trend. Consumers are prioritising basic communication needs over data-hungry applications,” she added.

The NCC data show 28.07 percent of those subscriptions were on 4G; 10.78 percent on 3G, and 0.83 percent on 5G, indicating low smartphone ownership in the country, despite sustained network investments by telecommunication companies (telcos) in the country.

Statista, a market data and research portal, reveals that only about 10 to 20 percent of the Nigerian population own a smartphone.

Alliance for Affordable Internet estimates the number of Nigerians with access to smartphones at 44 percent.

However, MTN disclosed that the number of smartphones on its network increased by 1.8 million in the first half of 2023, bringing its smartphone penetration to 53 percent.

One of the reasons for keeping 2G and 3G alive is the wide coverage it gives the telcos.

Ralph Mupita, president and CEO of MTN Group, in a recent report, said: “Out of its 289 million subscribers as of 2022, 92 percent of its population coverage are still on 2G, 84 percent are on 3G, 79 percent on 4G, and 4 percent on 5G.”

Various sources say rising prices for phones is a major issue. Many people, particularly those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder, still use feature phones, and they form the majority. Those on the higher rungs of the ladder use smartphones.

“3G phones are for people who can afford a meal somewhat. But poor people will use feature phones. 5G, for now, will be out of reach for many people, 2G goes far and wide. In rural areas, there are a lot of feature phones. There is also the issue of digital education; most people do not know the type of phone to buy,” an industry source said.

The average cost of 1 gigabyte of mobile data in Nigeria is $0.39 (N390), with the country ranking 31st out of 237 countries in terms of the cheapest mobile data, this is according to analysis by Cable.co.uk between July 5 and September 6, 2023.

In Nigeria, a low-income worker who earns below N30,000, which is the minimum wage, can barely buy enough data for the month, as the income is not enough to take care of basic needs.

As a result of this, telecommunication providers – MTN, Airtel, 9mobile, and Globacom active subscribers of internet service have seen less growth over the years.

In the past seven years, 9mobile has experienced a consistent decline in its Internet subscriber base, with an average loss of 134,000 subscribers monthly since June 2016. This decline began after it reached 17.2 million subscribers — its highest ever in April 2016, falling to 3.5 million in August 2023.

The NCC data also revealed that as of May 2020, Airtel and Globacom reported 37 million internet users each. However, Globacom and Airtel reported 43 million and 42 million respectively as of August 2023, while MTN had the highest number of internet users (68 million).

Quack journalism!
Agreed things are very tough and people are tightening their budgets,but in this report,only 1 person sampled was used as a yardstick to write and conclude on the reduction to 2G.
In my area for eg,I have not seen anyone buying 2G phone,many people are not just buying new smart phones,managing the ones they already have.
Everything about way we do things in Nigeria is just guesswork and there is this penchant for throwing figures around based not on a single element of fact or research.

The same supreme court of Nigeria (SCN)that made a 4th place winner of an election?
The same SCN that couldn't tally 2+2=4?
It's unfortunate but the election was lost when INEC corruptly declared Tinubu the winner of the election.
Just watch as the SCN comes up with another illogical argument to uphold Tinubu's declaration.

Someone stole a card and goes through the arduous process of first pretending to want to buy an item,then asks for a refund of the money.
How does it make sense.They even pretended the father of the house has a stroke and came with their children to even buy the items.
At worst they just want to use the receipt they got from the item as evidence of purchase of an item to someone or an organisation in a case they are involved in or to with hold money they were borrowed or kept in their care.
It may even be a simple straightforward case of them wanting to get more funds from someone by showing proof they have used the original funds to purchase the item they claimed they wanted to use it for,without actually buying it.
The op revealing the item they bought would have lent credence to this theory I have of what the whole rigmarole was all about.
But of course typical of the average Nigerian,they claim politicians are fraudsters,but they hide things so no one gets to know they inflated the cost or lied outrightly about an issue.
These are not kidnappers or criminals,just people trying to play smart to milk more funds or hide one kept in their possession for other uses. I am 110% sure of it.
The stroke pretence and whole family coming to purchase the item should have told you these are people trying to use illness and family as evidence of something to someone,but of course,since Buhari graced our shores,commonsense is now as scarce as steel from ajaokuta.

yemmit90:
Thank you sir, I love the concluding part of your post, this is the same patriotism I was talking about.

You also tried to make the point of nurturing these athletics in Nigeria.
But unfortunately,the incentive and facilities are not just here.Unlike football for eg,where there is a regular league(even at that footballers here still struggle till they go abroad),but these girls,asides from this youth games maynot participate in another event till maybe a national games festival next year,if they are lucky to be picked and not overlooked by corrupt officials in their states.
Due to that long period of idleness with no good coaching,if any at all,they become rusty or lose interest.
If they even enter universities here,their athletics career is as good as lost because they are either lost in the rigours of passing,get to do other life things in school or get harassed sexually by guys or even lecturers.
I know many girls that were into sports in sec school,could have been top talents but as they grew with no where to continue their dreams or entered universities or polytechnics,they were completely consumed by other life goals or fun.
In America,these don't apply and they know their continued sponsorship is dependent on them doing well in their chosen sports field,so they would have added incentive to focus and do well.
Even officials here are more interested in how much they can make when in office than helping groom anyone.

They need celebrating,despite my suspicions of the timing.
There was a time Nigeria used to consistently produce top sprinters,both male and female,on a consistent basis.
We used to dominate the sprint events,from 100m to 400m in Africa then enter at worst the finals in major world championships.
But now,even Kenya,better known for long distance running has a top class 100m sprinter while in events like 200,400 and now even 100m,Nigeria does not even have qualifying athletes at all!
The guys are now either into yahoo or football while the girls are now into runs or don't find any incentive to go into athletics.
If these 2 girls are nurtured and given incentives,no matter whatever time they may have run here,they can be the future of the sprints in Nigeria.They have the build to go with the sprint events.
One way of producing top athletes from Nigeria used to be through American schooling scholarships where they then get trained while schooling in college abroad and thus participating in athletics events in the US.
Our former stars like Mary onyali,Chidi imoh, Henry amike,etc,are not also doing well.They should be organising things like athletics academies,talent hunts in schools etc,or even finding places for athletics that have passed strict visa criteria to colleges in America,to find girls and boys that would continue carrying the touches they all boldly lit during their illustrious careers.

I knew and stated it in that post on the s hitty report by Garbage Gazette that before the day ends the true story would be out
40% of what PG publish are outright fake,50% are distorted to suit their narrative,5% are stories they were deliberately given by sources to suit the sources narrative and only 2% are 100% true

Praxis758:
Any country that neglects SME is toiling with fire.

Every multinational corporation of today started as an SME.

Our varying administration economic policy formations are detrimental to the survival of the SMEs.

It's the corrupt Nigerian environment that is partly responsible for the distortions and the lack of priority paid to SMES.
Because some people in politics,goverment employment or linked to the goverment in some way are getting quick,big bucks virtually from government till,no one sees how terrible the Nigerian economy is.
Look at your neighbourhood and investigate that person that is building that hotel,plaza or one big mansion or buying up lands,is doing:it's either a government politician or a yahoo guy.Just a minute percentage are funds from genuine businesses.
In a truly market based economy,as we proffer to be practising,it's not the big corporations that are the pillars of the economy,but the SMES,the shop owner,restaurant owner,the car dealer,provisions shop owner, cement,flour,alcohol,soft drinks and beverages dealer and now the POS agents,etc.
Once these businesses start to struggle,the goverment panicks and puts in place insentives to resuscitate them.
But in Nigeria all what those in goverment are interested in is how many millions or billions they can reap off while they are in office to acquire as much property as they can,live off well and oppressed their fellow citizens.

Gazette with their sh itty tales as usual.
Before the day ends the true story would come out.
I just pity anyone that reads s hitty blogs like PG or SR.They will just reduce whatever little education or intellect one has.

GuyFawkes7:
I fear he should flop at the Prem. Would have said he should come....its either Saudi Arabia or Europe. So thats where choice comes in...I pray he should make a petty good one. May his choice favour him

He may likely not.
No one expected Osimhein to do this well in the serie A.
If not for our inferiority complex and racism,with his performance in serie A,Osimhein should be commanding a hefty transfer fee and massive salary in either top premiership clubs or Real Madrid.
Assuming Osimhein was a halland or that guy man utd bought,with his top scorer feat in serie A last season,clubs like that would have closed their eyes at a $200m transfer fee and weekly salary of at least $400k.
Don't forget he has overachieved in France and now serie A.
The way he attacks makes it also unlikely he would be a failure.At least he can guarantee a top premiership club a 25 goal season.
That is worth the money for any striker

oyichi:
I just dey pity tinubu, I hope finds away to escape this if not , the kind disgrace ehhhh

You will be shocked at the technicality the SC will use to quash Atiku's appeal for disqualification.
Don't be surprised when the SC tells Atiku that eventhough there 'maybe discrepancies in Tinubu 's certificate that should ordinarily disqualify him,but failure of him to call the material witness whose signature he claimed was forged to testify,nullifies his application'.
Or they may be more ingenious and claim that since the certificate was issued by a foreign University,it doesn't disqualify Tinubu;or that certificate issues are pre election matters that Atiku should have filed at the lower court before the election,thus failure of him to do so or within a reasonable time frame,nullifies the appeal.
I have said it,anyone expecting the Nigerian judiciary to nullify a presidential election where INEC has declared and a president has taken office with all the executive and financial powers,is living in delusion.
The Nigerian judiciary doesn't have that character and Caliber of judges to deliver such judgement and may never have.

It should be made a crime for someone not to know how to use his/her commonsense.
If such law existed,people like this op would be in jail by now and no one would be reading such nonsensical threads again.

After being played like yoyos

Some people derive joy in infliting pain on their fellow man...


This are one of the type of job I can't do, being sent by one man in the office with full air condition to go and destroy peoples good in this hard time, so that I will now use my own head to receive swear and beating...


Even prison warder too, I can't do such job, I'm too emotional...

My own is that even if you have to break the table because it was the order you were given,commonsense and discretion as a human being should tell you to do it reluctantly,gently and with the look that you don't derive any pleasure in doing it.
Have some compassion because even the worst offender in this world,a murderer that is sentenced to death,when being executed,at least in the civilised world,they look for the least painful and quickest way to kill the person.
Talkless of an street trader whose only offence is trading illegally

That police officer smashing that goods table with glee,I just wonder what goes into the minds of people like that.
Even if whatever the person is doing is illegal,must you show joy in inflicting pain on another human being?
How many people can rent shops.
Even in the US,there are street traders,so it's not like with all the laws and good life over there,people still don't do street trading to survive

These ones just kicked themselves in the foot!
What horrendous action have they taken!
These action will cost them millions,if not billions.Infact,the head of it's PR office should be the one they should sack,get arrested and prosecuted for possibly costing them billions and irreparable damage to their company.
I,for one,won't even go near erisco tomato again,even though never used their products.
If this arrest now goes viral on social media,they may end up being the ones to start begging the lady with millions!
This arrest is f oolishness of the highest order!!

duro4chang:
Double tragedies for the wailers. Both labour party and PDP fell yakata

They are just ruling based on whatever comes to their mind to justify whatever decision they make.
I bet you,assuming Sanwo-Olu had lost and the APC was contesting the election based on an alleged forged certificate of Jandor,the same tribunal would have used it as the basis to disqualify the winner and everyone would have hailed them as it being the right decision to discourage certificate forgers.
All the judgements so far have been just comical.
In Kano,the sitting governor was deposed because the tribunal claimed thousands of his votes were invalid,but not a single one of the APC candidate was invalid!
In Enugu,despite NYSC,the body responsible for issuing and retaining authentic copies of certificates issued to NYSC members that successfully completed service discrediting the NYSC certificate of the governor,the tribunal still returned him!!
We are all clowns in this country,all of us!!!

Of course no one expected the tribunal to declare his election void,it's just not in the character of the Nigerian judiciary to dispense an election petition case against the candidate of a ruling party or an incumbent,whichever suits their interest and pocket more.
But if certificate is not an issue why insist not just on possession of a minimum of school certificate but a genuine one at that as a criteria for vying for political office?
Just tell everyone that your being an adult Nigerian is the qualification for vying for office.
At least it would reduce the percentage of political office holders with different school levels of forged certicates.

So what now happens to does that convert dere generator to gas

Renew shege

I will continue we’re buhari stop

It was foolishn ess of the highest order.
Even at 600/kg it didn't make sense,considering the small difference in duration it gave.Maybe 2hrs max compared to using equivalent amount of fuel.Yet they had to convert with in some cases 350k!
Even commonsense should have told anyone that the price of gas would fluctuate and continue riding so long naira was sinking.
But trust Nigerians to be easily be hoodwinked by propaganda and the bandwagon effect

It's obviously not the first time she has been treating the guy,but the devil just intervened on the innocent nurse's head.
To make matters worse,the investigation is being carried out by the Nigerian police where everyone is presumed guilty till divinely,not forensically,proven innocent.
