Busy and honest hustlers home and abroad, if anyone keeps bugging you for financial assistance due to some project or health issues, shine your eyes o. Some are just planning ahead for occasions like this and you are one of the special donors.

ScamDemicEra:
.... how do you say "emilokan" in Igbo language ?!!

You guys beat me to this

Your sister or daughter are watching and learning from trends around them.

cadet222:
As long as she is not my sister or daughter, i don’t give a Bleep

Not true.

The governors Ribadu explicitly indicted or heavily focused on during that 2006 legislative period are:
- Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia)
- James Ibori (Delta)
- Joshua Dariye (Plateau)
- Ayo Fayose (Ekiti)
- Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu)
- Boni Haruna (Adamawa)

bewisemasses:
I don't take this govt serious for one reason

In 2006, The then efcc chairman Nuhu Ribadu Came B4 d Nigerian Senate and listed five most corrupt governors
Orji Kalu (now a senator)
BAT ( now C.I.C)
Ahmed Sani Yerima (now a senator)
Godswill Akpabio (now Senate president)
George Akume (now a secretary to d FG)

Nigeria is d biggest joke. We de 🤡 ourselves for this country

Shey na like this we go dey go for Nigeria?

rickpat:
So bros dey cook yet he spends £400 per month on feeding?

Well done sir

There are basic things that help you identify the liars

Spidermon:
Not as employee.
As business owner

Are you a business owner in Nigeria?

Spot on!

I know someone that moved to Abuja from Sapele then relocated back to Sapele after 4 years claiming Abuja was too mechanical for him.

No one could tell him the issue was him not Abuja

Kobojunkie:
Interesting writeup! Below is a list of what I got from your statements.

1. You did not make genuine human connections with those you claim were your friends in your new place. Why?

2. Are you insinuating that back in Nigeria, you were able to save up more or enjoy more with the money you made back then? If yes, then why did you leave Nigeria?

3. There are parties, suya joints(maybe not the same look), bars, and soccer pubs in the UK as well. Why did you make the personal decision to deny yourself all of that?

4. Alright!

5. Now you are being honest.

6. Interesting! You did fail to assimilate abroad. That is detailed in your writeup, and honestly, is not a bad thing. And I hope the best for you in Nigeria.

ayoncox:
and the shocking part will be that the criminal himself might not even be the person pushing for his imprisonment but oversabi around him

My president is not a criminal but you are spot on.

All those DSS guys forming Rambo against civilians inside the courtroom should be sent to the battlefield against bandits with immediate effect.

Bunch of brainless clowns.

Na so we see am with today's men and women. Weak mind clowns everywhere.

lagonovo:
Too many sissies in a man's body.

You are already putting your family first by being exceptional in what you do. Your child will always be proud of you.

Don't get me started on this. You have snippets not the full story. It was all IBB and Maryam and it did not start when IBB became head of state

peleson1:
Ibb was the head of state when he got a contract from the ministry of information to build a TV station in the north .
He got it from the ministry and not from doddan barracks .
Arthur went to the north to hustle for it and he got it .

We are talking about Ikoyi and Lagos big boys under ibb . The ibb boys .

Sopriye was the capOne

On Tinubu, you are mixing things up.

There was the pre-June 12 and also post June 12 period. Yes, Tinubu was not a beneficiary of military money but his mother, Abibatu Mogaji, was the head of Lagos market women. He was rolling mainly with Yomi Edu but well connected within the Lagos Island traditional wealth circle.

Yomi Edu connected him with MKO Abiola and he was very rich even at that point. He later became a Senator around 1991. June 12 finished many in his circle, they all saw hell but Tinubu was never an activist, he found his calling as a politician so his ways have always been flexible. Many NADECO mentioned that about him. Whether that is positive or negative depends on the observer.

peleson1:
Tinubu was a big boy .
Abscha didn't trust Tinubu and Tinubu wasn't close to abscha , he was looking for that opportunity.
Ibb never liked Tinubu .
Though Tinubu was close to Abiola .

The late Jack from rivers state that was the chairman of the electoral empire under Abacha ,What jega or yakubu was under Buhari in inec was from Rivers state and he later became the depsuty governor who handed over to Odili when the military boys left . He was very close to Abscha and my elder sister's husband contested for senator being Abachas's first son best friend.. That name Tinubu was not known and was not in the circle late Mr Jacks daughter is still my friend till date ,we spoke today still .

You can go and verify what I said in my post.

Like I said ,any body can be anything once the person keeps grinding and upskilling and following the right steps and God's factor very important.

In 2007, Dangote was not yet the richest Nigerian . Who knew he was going to be that?
Dangote family left VI back to kano .

Before they left , I was with jubril dangote and I asked the young man , what would you like to become in the future and he said ,"I will like to be an investor and I want to buy Liverpool FC of England"
His friend phileo was not able to say what he was gonna be .
You could see how these people move.
I didn't see Seyi, I didn't meet them before 1999 so where were they ?
Nobody in the circle knew them .

Tinubu was busy grinding and grinding and now we have him

In 1999 , it was Tinubu's deputy governors family that provided Tinubu with refurbished Peugeot he used for his swearing in as governor . Tinubu did not have a convoy nor a befitting car for that . His deputy did and his deputy governor's family provided that for him .


In this life , we only need God favour and mercy while we prepare for opportunities because opportunities are endless .
I'm talking about old money

Not new money .

What I'm sure of is that Tinubu is new money
And another thing I'm almost certain about is that Tinubu does not care about Forbes rating instead ,he is determined to be the richest Nigerian by far . So he is mobbing everything finance he can . He is not relenting .

peleson1:
He was an ibb boy but not in in circle .
Hec as a distance third arm

That's your personal definition, distance or not he himself proudly mentioned IBB's role in his life as an IBB boy and I was at the event.

Apart from the paid or volunteer actors and the naturally emotional ones falling over during service, it should be noted that melancholy, trance and intense vibrations during worship is a well known phenomenon in some African traditional religion.

Early writers on slavery noted that worship in American churches got heavily influenced by slaves who were originally African traditional worshippers.

No mind our brother, just 3 bottles of chilled hero beer would easily make the 7,252 loud Nigerians on social media confuse themselves with millions of busy and productive real life Nigerians that vote on election day.

Real voters see their APC local community and their coordinators working actively, canvassing for membership, explaining government vision, progress and challenges. They also see the disgruntled but unserious opposition alliances. They know who to vote for.

CharlesCNG:
Insults are not evidence.

You said Nigerians have rejected APC. Good. Today is the test. Let the ballot speak, not your bitterness.

As for the bread sermon, it sounds like you came prepared with hunger and anger, but not with facts.
When the votes are counted, we’ll know whether it was APC Nigerians rejected or just your self-confidence that got ahead of the results.

ManirBK:
The Strait of Hormouz has to be opened. A tsunami of an economic disaster is going to hit the US sometime soon, trump now knows this and he's trying to head it off. Israel has to get out of the way.

Where exactly did you pull this bullcrap from?

Yes, Arthur Eze was among IBB boys. How is that even a debate?

peleson1:
How can orji kalu be Arthur exe boy?
U no dey fear?

Was Arthur exe ibb boy?
Arthur exe no near orji

Stop the noise abeg

Yes and he was rumoured to be fronting for Nigeria's military dictators at that time. Many had high expectations when he became governor only to find out he had no magic wand. Just another individual who got some inexplicable opportunities. His performance as governor and subsequent positions totally failed to match his resume.

Is that the lie you tell each other in your Obidients group?

nick50:
..obi changed d political dynamics in anambra state..Imagine someone sharing vehicles to schools,hospitals, traditional rulers and vigilantes during his last tenure he didn't even stop at that obi also shared computers to all d schools in anambra state..omo dat guy is extraordinary nigeria doesn't know wat dey are missing

I don't have to explain what is already crystal clear to you. He is packaged.

Irony1:
How was he packaged? There's no one packaging him everything in his past he did it and he can defend it. So there's no packaging here.

He is just another Nigerian politician with every right to his aspiration but contrary to what the younger ones are told he is bringing nothing new to the table, that's why many call him packaged fraud. No amount of insults can change that reality.

anslemarinze52:
Poor people with borning children anyhow ehh. I know a woman and her husband with 8 children, these people are poor. Na people farmland them de go work. Now the wife is pregnant with the 9th child.

We hate the truth because it's often bitter.

Most poor people with no physical disability are irresponsible and they lack discipline. Where many of them are is not an accident, it's the result of their choices.

These clowns can't provide for their children but won't hesitate to pour akamu inside their wife with reckless abandon. It is common to see super rich boss with just 2 or 3 kids, but gateman has 9 kids while mouthing off "God will provide".

This is too shallow for a historical account of a sector that had over 150 indigenous mills across Nigeria over the past decades.

To mention a few prominent ones:

Aba Textile Mills
Kaduna Textile Limited (KTL)
Arewa Textiles Plc
United Nigerian Textiles Limited (UNTL)
Supertex Limited
Afprint Nigeria Plc
Aswani Textile Industries Limited
Nigerian Textile Mills (NTM) Plc, Ikeja
Specomill Textile Ikeja
Nichemtex Industries Limited, Ikorodu
Shokas Lace Factory, Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State
Austro Embroidery Mill, Aiyepe, Ogun State.
Oodua Textile Mill, Ado-Ekiti
Asaba Textile Mill (Asabatex)
Edo Textile Mill, Benin City

They don't care and quite frankly some projects are of no personal use to them so their disconnect is understandable.

Basic123:
You people only pay attention to bad news due pessimism bias.


A temporary terminal was built before this project started

It is not the same old design.

Babangidapikin:
Still the same old design ... money allocated should be able to design something new and refreshing...

Why?

AguluLiar:
FIFA should reduce the number of participating countries to 32.

Saw that too. Rabiot and Theo Hernandez are white French.

ColdHunter:
Fallacy. Rabiot and Hernandez arent black

Mbappe, Saliba, Doue are as black as they're white

There is no land that is open commercial space in Nigeria and there is no no-mans-land in Nigeria.

Lagos is Yorubaland ruled by Yorubas just as Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi are Iboland ruled by Ibos.

What's up with all these cunny and deceitful comments when the reality is crystal clear?

DeepSight:
Which do you refer to, just so I am not mistaken -

1. Those real or fake Lagosians who insist that Lagos is "owned" by ethnic Lagosians (note this is different from another set who appropriate it to the Yoruba as a whole)

2. Those (allegedly largely Igbo) who insist that it is open commercial space much of which has been purchased

3. Those who claim that it is no man's land.

Regardless of the lofty status of Lagos, a real man should be proud of his roots, his ancestry, and his homeland. It's shameful and degrading. Your base is not necessarily your homeland unless it's your ancestral home. Do not let your ancestors curse you from the spirit world. Tufiakwa!

Vanity upon vanity.
