it is well. this life has become a war zone

fufubear:
I live about 30min - 1 hour from Chicago but I'm pretty familiar with Chicago. The gun violence kind of overstated in that its all in the same neighborhoods. Most of the city is actually really safe but those trouble spots are so bad lol. I think at one point more people were getting killed there daily than in Iraq.

where is the rest of the picture oga

no need. the tribal fools need an audience, that's why they are hijacking this thread. create a new one and they will follow.
i mean why not just open your own thread and talk about how ibos are the only cheated group in Nigeria. as if the rest of the population is living the dream

SamuelAnyawu:


Be like Na to create another Military thread as this one don turn tribal thread

of course some areas are still cheap, but too far in, bushwick for example, but when i say cheap, a 2 bedroom will still cost you over 2k monthly.
but some of the cheapest areas in brooklyn is East New York, i won't live there lol. it's crime ridden. sadly that's why most displaced black people go.
places like Williamsburg is almost as expensive as apts in Manhattan due to white ppl overtaking the area and its close proximity to Manhattan
you live in Chicago? the gun violence over there ain't no joke lol

fufubear:
It depends on the blocks I'm sure. It's like that where I live in Illinois. There are some dirt cheap houses/apartments but they aren't in the nicest areas. It's not hard to find places under the average though.

I'm also kind of ignoring the current housing boom because that definitely won't last.

based on? do you know me? or you just feel like acting stupid. not telling the truth? Nigerians do live in new york you know. why do you find that hard to comprehend

JohnBullMySon:
It depends on where in Brooklyn, but on the average it is. And that guy is not telling the truth BTW.

Can't we all just get along

I'm telling you. no be small. when i first came to new york yrs ago, a single room in brooklyn cost $350 , now its over 1000. it's insane. yea selling cars back home is another stuff naija pppl do here. got friends that do this

DubaiLandLord:
House rent is fucking expensive over there o I get two family members for that NY. One of them dey always send cars come Nigeria make I help am sell.

x

lol it's actually is. i had to run away from crownheights wey i dey live before coz it's too expensive haha.
a single room here before covid will run you $1,200 monthly. right now i dey pay $3,250 monthly for my apt. because oyinbo ppl dey invade black communities, and once they start moving in, blacks are displaced because rent will shoot up.
it's why everyone here is talking about the gentrification of black and brown communities. because Manhattan is also too expensive for the oyinbos, so now they are moving into black communities

fufubear:
Brooklyn isn't that expensive you know.

hahaha. lie say i live in Brooklyn? boy you be slowpoke.
make i send you postcard? or want me to help you find husband lol
me go lie to a nobody. been here 20yrs. imagine that.
i don't need to lie on here. there's nothing anyone here can do to me, so why bother.
make research? why does this require research lol.
thanks for keeping me company this morning kid.
i enjoy it small

JohnBullMySon:


Of all places in the US, you choose Brooklyn as your fictional location. You no get sense at all.

Even if I pay Travel expenses for you to move to the US, can you even afford to live in Brooklyn?

Before you lie next time, make research.

That thing i sent you worked? be careful sha

Odunayaw:
Why I'm never bothered about all this nonsense is because when polls still come now many (even from here) will repeat their mistakes

Why bother about monikers

And to the idiots who don't get it. i have zero allegiance to any tribe or ethnic group, not even as a Yoruba. zero. My allegiance is to family and country. interpret that as you wish. Nigeria is still my country, and those who don't see it that way, move to the fvking sahara desert, ain't nothing keeping you inside Nigeria

JohnBullMySon:
You're just a kid, that haven't understood the reality of things in Nigeria, so make I just free your mouth to run.

But if you get mind eh, drop me your real location. If I no send angels to visit you and change the parade, come back here and insult me till rapture. Na for Nairaland una dey get mouth.

well all isn't lost yet then, the Tucs should arrive

bidexiii:
The U.S. remains committed to help the Armed Forces of Nigeria continue to build their capacity and work for peace and security. Members of our Office of Security and Cooperation hand over a donation of equipment valued at $5M to the Nigerian Army for use at the Nigerian Army Infantry Training School in Jani, Kaduna. The equipment included laptops, classroom supplies, first aid kits, paper targets, and field tents to help improve the training environment. Representatives from the HQ Nigerian Army were on hand to deliver the equipment to Jaji.

lol. this our new tribal thread eh? shoot. okay ooo, sorry. i cross out the ibo part of my comment, but i still see dead people with weak charms around their body lol

Odunayaw:
All LOL!

lol. me tribal? be like say you don soak garri with too much stones.
i was referring to the dead guys with charms around their body, were they not ibos? and the charms was my point of comment. if them be yorubas i would have said thesame, you primitive fool, think i care about ethnicity? that's why we will never develop, because some of you fools all you see are fulanis vs ibos, yorubas vs this and that. its why we are backward people, could never come together to achieve a common goal, except to slaughter each other .
Mind how i talk, you dey craze? and if i don't? you go cross the Atlantic come beat me? see this goat

JohnBullMySon:
Mind how you talk. You can't even hide your tribalism.

lol. obviously you have no manners. how does my comment affect you? i was talking about seeing dead guys with charms still dying. why the insult? this kid dey mad oo
i beg take your mental illness elsewhere kid.

Cry to God? Any leader who saw this as a solution shouldn't be leading haha. God won't do sh!t for you.
We are in trouble

info sent

Odunayaw:
I've responded

Come on now, i know States and Local Govts can pass laws, that's not the point here.
What emergency? Was one declared because of twitter? But hey, okay

GeneralFarouq:
S36(12) is ur idea. Which is to the effect that nothing is an offence unless it is written and punishment for it stated....
But... The Executive has power in time of emergency to create law.
The only thing is the law cannot be retroactive by virtue of section 36 sub section 8 CFRN.
Meaning only offenders from the time the law was made can be punished
Not all laws can pass through the National assemble... Even local govt makes laws.
Therefore offenders can be charged to court ..

RIght? In a so called democracy? No law was passed here, and someone is talking about committing an offense, what offense?

Lurker4Long:
They don't sue when people are arrested and paraded before cameras before appearing in court -which I've established is illegal in Nigeria as in most countries - so not holding my breath.

I'd love to hear a legal, reasoned explanation from someone who supports this authoritarian move.
And no, saying Twitter threatens national security doesn't qualify; it's tantamount to saying they hurt Buhari's feelings by taking down his tweet.

It's idiotic, and that's just story, used as a medium for incitement huh? Same medium the NG utilizes? haha. people sha.
If twitter is being used to incite, hold a freaking meeting with their officials and have them censor out certain things, if they refuse you can then ban it. This ban was about Buhari feeling disrespected, nothing else.
And if twitter is being used to incite, then track the IP addresses of those doing it and arrest them, I'm sure there are nigerians who make a living off twitter, they should take all that into consideration .

GeneralFarouq:
Govt can take actions for national in nterest... It there has limitation to every right..
FG justification is Twitter is used as a medium for conflict incitement
Moreover, Freedom of expression isn't even cut off, just made inconvenient to those who operate Twitter alone. for the sake of national interest
Shehu Garba Sabi said something like.
Not verbatim
" This is the advantage of polygamy, Twitter is off am here on Facebook"

What offense? twitter was banned from operating in nigeria, Nigerians weren't banned from using twitter, if you use a vpn and access twitter, that's not a crime.
And i thought laws have to be passed before one can be accused of breaking the law. When was this ban passed into law? Please tell me, i wanna learn

GeneralFarouq:
Forget about the VPN, any person who uses Twitter while in Nigeria has committed the offence ... The govt can tell if the user is in Nigeria... . I think this offence is mala prohibita Strict liability offence which without excuse is punishable.
Some users will go to the extent of posting information about where they are at the moment or even the place where the picture is taken.
So from monitoring activities of users to see who post what, they are gathering data. So ur last paragraph doesn't is not applicable

besides i'd expect lawyers in naija to sue the fg for this ban by now

The Govt can't tell if you are using vpn to access twitter.
VPN works by routing your internet traffic to the company that provide you the VPN account, and that's all the activity your internet service provider will ever see, you connecting to the company's designated stop. From there the company then route your internet into the world, and those company providing you internet can never see what else you are doing online.
I download movies, tv shows, i watch pay per views etc, all free using my vpn.
Only way the nigerian govt can know what you were doing is to contact that company for your internet usage. And if it's a foreign company, i bet they will just ignore naija.
And real vpn companies don't even save user data or what you do online, therefore nothing to provide

GeneralFarouq:
Some fellas don't know the implications of using something made illegal... It a criminal offenxe... Just like I said earlier govt could start arresting and penalizing users...and considering it has personal info about users.. they would be so easy to track down...
Facebook would have lots of customers in the coming days

And the head of the police command in these places still have jobs? including the IGP himself? no sane country this many ppl gets killed regularly and we all just seem content with it. wahala dey this land oo

DubaiLandLord:
28pm
The Police Command in Kebbi on Saturday confirmed that bandits killed 88 people in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of the state on Thursday.

The command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Nafi’u Abubakar who confirmed the figure, said all the victims were killed in eight different communities in the local government area.

According to him, the command has so far recovered the 88 bodies and dispatched a detachment of operatives to maintain law and order in the affected communities.

“The killing took place in Koro, Kimpi, Gaya, Dimi, Zutu, Rafin Gora and Iguenge villages, all in Danko/Wasagu LGA of Kebbi State.

“Initially, the bodies recovered were 66 but as I am talking to you now, about 88 bodies have been recovered,” Abubakar said.

that said. people take your tribal wahala to the right thread or open urs

keep quiet, all Nigerians are oppressed by the political elites

Daverytimes:
The region being oppressed for the first time is kicking against the operation, their method is wrong and condemnable however it was obvious this was going to happen and thus people shouldn't feign concern now. When 150+ Igbo's were killed just 2 years ago many thought it funny and didn't seem concerned to condemn the governments actions, those same people should keep the same energy now because otherwise they are clearly hypocrites.

The southeast had been the most peaceful area of Nigeria for Atleast 2 decades now, I have no doubt that the current crises will pass, the days of bakassi boys came and went, this will surely come to pass.
