Blueraydick, kingtom

Can you guys believe the bot later banned me for that wike post? I guess the bot is working for FG now lol. Later semid4lyfe will tell me to remain silent in the face of these ridiculous bans.

Bot ban you but na semid4lyfe you dey blame. Continue so gbo. No wonder S.e.u.n blocked you.

Question for una wey dey use MTN routers,

Are the MTN routers locked specifically to the MTN broadband plans or can they be used with other mtn data plans too?

TemporaryHansel:
They’re clearly not serious about removing Tinubu. Peter Obi couldn’t beat him as a private citizen, yet somehow they believe he can take him down now — singlehandedly — while he’s sitting in Aso Rock.
The level of delusion among some Obidients is honestly wild.
You can’t take out a power structure like this by standing alone. Without strategic alliances, it’s a dead mission. Look at the U.S. — even Trump, with all his pride, had to swallow his ego and work with people who not only once insulted, and mocked him but also with people he once labeled the “deep state,”(equivalent of corrupt and regular politicians in Nigeria) people he publicly trashed and called enemies. Why? Because he understood the stakes. That’s how power works.

This is not fantasy. It’s politics. And in politics, you either build alliances or you lose. Simple.

Your take dey gba as usual and I've come to accept that's you. But biko, try exercise better oversight over your AI. At least, remove the em dashes —

You're welcome.

It seems Atiku will have to jump ship and cross to ADC as part of the coalition.

I think the Coalition will have serious headache arriving at a consensus candidate sha.

PDP might not field a candidate

I thought Wike is a lawyer and his wife a judge. If people's gazette is making this story up like Lere Olayinka keeps insisting, why is he not suing them?

I mean Lere Olayinka's rebuttals are not convincing , yet the civil servants supplying People's gazette info keep insisting Wike's hand is deep in the cookie jar

That story dey legit, my grouse is with PBAT for giving him so.much rope and not reining in his excesses, brazen corruption and self enrichment.

raumdeuter:
SM go make you dey think you are living in the wrong universe with the way people cap senselessly
There is one account on IG salarytransparentstreet where they ask people what they do and how much they make. I used to follow before until lately na capping full there. Everyone is making $1m or $5m per year

Dem go tell you say barber for Lekki dey make 500m per year and you sef will be wandering why you never go learn barber work

IG na celebrities, social media influencers and internet personalities playground. Na capping, forming, aesthetics and exaggeration full there. Everyone dey show off and present an idealized version of themselves which is different from the Nigerian reality.

On Instagram, nobody dey use aluminium or stainless steel pots dey cook. Everybody dey use ceramic cookware.

Nobody dey serve rice the normal way. Rice servings be like artwork with a small mound of rice with valley, and the protein and other orisirisi by the side.

From IG, I learned Buchymix blenders, food processors, and air fryers are the only brands in the Nigerian market.

According to IG, nobody dey climb okada or commute via public transport. Everyone dey run around with ride hailing services; uber, bolt, taxify etc

From IG, I know malaria has been eradicated in Nigeria because no one sleeps under mosquito nets. etc etc

Me, I don abandon IG for TikTok cos TT offers me a more authentic and realistic glimpse into the lives of ordinary nigerians. People are more themselves on TT. They share their raw and unfiltered moments, their struggles and challenges. Also, the TT algorithm is far more advanced as it brings more of my interests and relatable contents across my timeline. Vendors and service providers are more on TT, and offer better prices too. For me, TikTok truly captures the pulse of daily Nigerian life in a way that Instagram simply doesn't, and of course, it's a far better app.

To paraphrase, Sam Adeyemi who I consider to be one of the best motivational and inspirational preachers in Nigeria, if you wan sabi road for these present times, follow the youths. Na them God dey talk and reveal him future plans to. E get reason why Gen Z's are more on TikTok than any other platform.

At the end, do you. Move at your own pace and no let social media pressure you.

Saudi investment in their league don dey pay off. See wetin Al-Hilal do Man city. Truly, money na water.

TemporaryHansel:
First of all, I want to thank you for not avoiding the issues I raised and not focusing on agenda like the others.

You’ve raised valid points on paper, but let’s come back to reality—Nigeria’s reality.

Did I build the roads? No. But what condition are they in? Death traps. Half of the roads in this country are unusable, and the few that are manageable were either funded by foreign loans or built decades ago—then left to rot.

Waste disposal? Government only shows up in select areas. The rest of us either pay private collectors or live with refuse piling up.

Passports? Sure, I get a passport—after months of frustration, bribes, and "come back tomorrow." That’s not service, that’s extortion with national branding.

Schools? Overcrowded, underfunded, with underpaid teachers. Hospitals? A glorified waiting room if you’re lucky. Most people with means avoid public healthcare entirely. Legal system? Slow, corrupt, expensive. Police? A lottery—sometimes you call them, sometimes you run from them.

You talk like taxes fund services in a healthy democracy. Here, taxes vanish into convoy fuel tanks, luxury estates, and padded budgets. We already live in a system where we fund most things out of pocket. We're paying twice—once through official taxes, then again through personal fixes. And we’re still told to keep quiet and be “responsible”?

Let’s be real: this government doesn’t need tax evasion to collapse—it’s doing just fine ruining things all by itself. And while you're preaching “civic duty,” the people in power are busy pillaging the country dry.

So don’t come at me with morality while the system rots. I’m not the problem—I’m a symptom of a system that’s failed so badly that survival now looks like rebellion.

I’m not anti-tax—I’m anti-theft masquerading as governance.

You're being short-sighted and missing the bigger picture. True, the government has failed us in many ways, but refusing to pay taxes is not the solution. It only deepens the systemic rot, failure and worsens the situation.

Take the roads, for example. Whether funded by loans or budget allocations, the fact remains that government build roads. And through its agencies and public-private partnerships, it also handles regulation, maintenance, and oversight. Without this involvement, the roads would be far worse. Even those foreign loans you mentioned must be repaid which is largely through oil revenue and IGR, a big chunk of which comes from taxes, the same taxes you're advocating none payment.

As for waste disposal, yes, private operators exist because of the gap in service delivery. But who licenses and regulates those private waste collectors? Who allocates operational areas, routes and dump sites? Who monitors their operations to ensure the collected refuse is not dumped in residential areas, gutters, and waterways? Government. And how can government perform these tasks if everyone thinks like you and refuse to contribute their share?

I understand your frustration with the corruption and inefficiency in passport issuance cos I’ve experienced it too. But that's being greatly improved by the current Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo. There’s now a contactless application process and even home delivery. These things cost money. And where do you think that money should come from if not from taxes?

Even the private schools and hospitals you prefer are not operating in a vacuum. They are licensed, regulated and allowed to operate by the same government you claim does nothing. They pay company taxes. So, in a way, the quality services you enjoy from them are still made possible by a functioning government structure through taxes.

You can bash the legal system all you want, but there’s no alternative. It's flawed, yes. It slow and corrupt, yes. But it still delivers justice for millions and provides jobs to many Nigerians. And when serious issues wear you sokoto, na hin you go still turn to.

Also, no dey bobo us say you no be anti-tax because na you post the emboldened below:

I go out of my way to avoid paying taxes to the Nigerian government—because funding these crooks is the same as sponsoring your own robbery.

Handing over your hard-earned money to this government is not civic duty; it’s daylight self-sabotage.

See ehn, refusing to pay tax doesn’t punish the political class. They’ll continue flying private jets and living large. What it does is further cripple the already limited public services that ordinary Nigerians rely on.

TemporaryHansel:
I go out of my way to avoid paying taxes to the Nigerian government—because funding these crooks is the same as sponsoring your own robbery. Why should I pay into a system that gives absolutely nothing back? We generate our own power because the power supplied by the government is unreliable , dig our own water, build our own security, and yet they still have the audacity to demand taxes? For what, exactly—more convoys and private jets?

Let’s be clear: handing over your hard-earned money to this government is not civic duty; it’s daylight self-sabotage. Nothing in this country works unless you fix it yourself. And if anything ever moves, it’s either by miracle or personal hustle—not government effort.

I get paid in crypto and I live on crypto. Let them come and tax me—I’d actually love to watch them try.

Did you build your own roads? Do you have your own waste disposal system? Are your children home-schooled? Do you produce and issue your own passport? Do you have a separate legal system that you operate under? And when you want to travel abroad, do you just hop on a PJ without FAAN clearance or any government-issued documents? etc etc

See ehn, even if you earn in crypto, live off-grid, and only subscribe to private services, those services are still regulated by the government and rely on public infrastructure. So it’s unrealistic and delusional to think you’re completely independent off the government.

Also, your understanding of tax avoidance is flawed. When taxes aren’t paid, the government can't pay salaries, build and maintain public infrastructure. Hospitals will run out of drugs and basic supplies. Schools no go get ordinary whiteboard markers to write for board. Roads and other infrastructures will fall into disrepair. The economy will slow down. Crime rates will rise. And guess who suffers the consequences? Me, you and our loved ones, there’s no escaping it.

Please, as an elder, try to live up to that name. Think things through before making posts like this.

TheSuperNerd:
Quit the shalaye by referring to his past. Stick to he here and Now of his mediocrity.

This is the koko here, if Tammy Abraham doesnt match Victor Osimhen's exploits in Turkey, then you would bath in bitter leaf soup water for one week.

It's funny how he has never acknowledged Osimhen's injury travails when he's badmouthing him but see him adducing Tammy Abraham's poor form and record in the Serie A to injury.

Na real bitter leaf and hypocrite hin be.

OasisX:


........Reno don off gloves pátápátá. LOL!

These guys calling themselves Obidients really don't get it. You can't keep bulling everybody and expect them to keep mum.

There is this guy that worked with Moniepoint, Duru. He posted on X that there are opportunities in Nigeria, guess what?! He was bullied until he deleted the post.

These guys just want everyone to be posting dooms about the country across all social media. To them, nothing is working in Nigeria, yet they are enjoying freedom to post anything they like without be taken.

If really nothing is working, what of freedom of speech and expression they are enjoying without limit?! Ain't that something?! LOL!

Egi Nupe left. Jack [Man of Letter] left, Akintollgate left, High Chief Okoro left, Tunde getting bullied. They even labeled him King of Slum .....now they are calling Hundeyin a mole working for Atiku cos of his last post on X.

One would think they indeed want a better Naija and PO is indeed a Saint. This is how Ruto was packaged in Kenya, today the country is burning.

Even as a PO supporter, I do not see PO through rose-tinted glasses. Like every human hin dey fallible. Still, I gats admit that the obidients are a senseless mob.

The Temi Otedola movie ba? Wetin you go rate am on a scale of 1 - 10?

PDPGuy:
Yes

I doubt you can use the tracking number to retrieve the NIN but let me tag someone more knowledgeable about this matter for a more definite answer.

Cc: aieromon

PDPGuy:
Question: If you paid for the NIN registration, say 3-4 yrs ago, and you only received the transaction ID number, can you still use the NIMC app to search for your NIN number?

Did you capture and do biometrics?

The external share button shares both quoted posts and a response making both appear as one post by the responder.

Seun, this feedback is for you.

diggz:
By the way, the local share feature still isn’t functioning properly. I tried using it earlier, but nothing happened.

It seems the local share issue has been fixed.

KingTom:
You know wetin e mean for oga CEO to block you Chai Elder walahi aye e ti roboskeshi

Tough guy tough guy, but nobody whine pass am for here on top spambot ban and not being able to block people permanently.

Me sef for block am If to say I fit.

Unlike himself S.e.u.n is sharing posts back to back which could only mean he's working on the local share and testing its functionality.

I expect GloriousG to call me out like say na me dey encourage guys to put up these kinda threads.

diggz:
While he’s focused on attracting Gen Z users or increasing the number of active users on the platform, he shouldn’t forget that retaining the existing community is just as—if not more—important. Addressing the nuisance caused by the current spambot is one way to do that. We’ve been raising this issue for over a month now with no noticeable improvement. Slowly but surely, people will start to lose interest. Unless, of course, the goal is to drive away long-time members—in which case, the new spambot seems to be doing a pretty effective job.

By the way, the local share feature still isn’t functioning properly. I tried using it earlier, but nothing happened.

Bros, sorry about the spambot. I can only imagine the frustration that comes with posts being blocked and being wrongly banned. I'm certain S.e.u.n is doing his best in that regard so bear with him.

You're also right about the local share. It unshares a post when you refresh the page. S.e u n acknowledged the issue two pages back so I suspect thats also work-in-progress.

Stick around, the user experience go soon bam I promise you

Ebukacute:
Tor.... na only God sabi wetin I go do if this MOD power enter my hand like this

Shhh........no be here some people dey urge me to ban Ram cos hin dey support PBAT

GloriousGbola:
local share is not working.

i have shared bean counters post and everytime i refresh it is no longer shared

The problem still persists

TemporaryHansel:
Wait oh, I thought mods can't block anybody? I'm not seeing seun's post that you quoted which can only mean one thing: the weyrey blocked me.

S.e.u n no be mod, hin be ADMIN so hin get powers wey pass that of any NLDer.

I dey see many of your blocked posts, and I go just shake my head like kilode.

So if hin truly block you, kudos to him cos you overdo. E don tey wey you don dey insult am, like say hin personally set the bot to target you.
