Can we stop giving this man air time. All these 'influencers' with an agenda are not good for a young nation like Naija.

Nairaland should not inadvertently contribute to the farce that the vaccine does not work. Posts like this without an addendum, promotes it.

No vaccine is 100% efficacious. Vaccinated people can still get the virus, but usually show little or no sign of having it. In very rare cases, they will get it and still have severe effects of the virus. It does not mean the vaccine is not effective or efficacious. The last two mean different things on the matter.

"LASTMA @followlastma of the @followlasg is generally known for fleecing people. Today I got my own experience. I ended up paying 25k and one of those gave me back 2k 'for fuel' from the supposed windfall.

"Coming up from 3MB and getting off towards Osborne on my way to Ikoyi, they stopped me and said I exited from the continuous line as against the broken line. I knew they had me. After they told all their stories about the line, the said they will drive my car to their office."

" I told them ok, but nobody is driving my car. I will drive it myself. After a while they saw I Wouldn't back down and they asked one to enter and ride with me. That one asked me why I didn't want to just 'settle' them and be on my way. So I went into 'settle' mode. He made a call"

"At their office, or rather a parking yard, there was somebody already waiting to handle my case as it was obvious I was ready to play ball. That one said it is court the next day or a fine. I asked why the court is not like now. Stories again follow, but I've heard about them."

" So I told him let's go with the fine. He said it is 100k! I was like, ah, oga, these things have tickets and definite amounts, why not give me a ticket let me pay and go my way. He called another and asked them how much it is for the broken line issue. The guy said 100k."

" So I went: oya, let's do, where's the account number? He was startled. 'So you want to show yourself?' he said. But you asked for 100k, I'm saying lemme pay and go. There was disbelief and a sense of impending danger over his face. Las las, it came to 20k. He asked for 'his own'."

" I said, ok, add 5k.
Then, it was time for me to go and he said I should tell the woman, their oga, at the gate that it was 15k I paid. Meanwhile he told me a particular POS operator to go and make two payments of 15k and 10k. Eventually, the POS man was in the premises."

" After I told them woman it was 15k, he followed me to the car and returned 2k to me saying it was 'for fuel'. My money o.

And some local evil spirits want to roam the forests for similar purpose.
God punish devil.

My brother bought a tire inflator sold by one Tvbox Store on Jiji. Their account is :
https:///shop/tvboxstore
It was delivered to him in Enugu from Lagos.

From first thing the thing has issues starting. He called the seller and after so much back and forth, luckily it started.
Second attempt it didn't work again and the guy was called again and he started the touch this one touch that one again.
He even sent a video of the same thing and he did all of it to no avail.

After promising to call back one evening, he didn't do so, stopped replying to his messages and has refused to pick calls.

I give the guy a call myself and he picked. I was telling him it's not fair that he should try and resolve the issue. Plan was to have him replace it and bro will pay for the waybill in good faith but he started saying I am siding with my brother that if I am in Lagos I can come and make trouble for him at his place if I can. Told him I do not even have the time and for real I do not as I leave early and come back late, what with the keke and bike ban now on. However, I promised him bringing him to the public squares online if he fails to resolve the issue in 7 days.

As I called my bro to give him feedback, he said the man was calling and he cut to answer. Somebody that has not answered messages not picked calls, nor called back. He was still yarning all kinds of rubbish in essence saying we can't do anything or we can go do our worst. On that account we decided no need to continue with the 7 days grace earlier given as he is not ready to do the right thing.

This is speaking out and telling the whole world to beware of him if that is how he is doing his own selling online.

The item plus delivery was around 12k. It could be chicken change to some but my bro works hard for his money and felt very cheated someone delivering something that didn't work and forming jango on top of it.


I am going straight to report to Jiji officially.

This is the link to the item in question:

Anyone have any ideas of getting a redress please let us know.

Knowing you can come up against a checkpoint is one thing, having a precise location is another, especially in a highway.

I see. �

You got a point though.
Given the kind of hopeless place we live, this might be the wrong forum.

Many thanks.

rottennaija:
While this effort might be done for noble reason, the fact is you have just handed down into the hands of people with bad intent a tool which is so risky.

The lives of these officers are put in unnecessary risk. They can be targeted and killed by just this callous effort of your.

Congrats.
Like you enter a bus going from Lagos to Edo you are not aware there are tons of checkpoints.

Changed my mind.

Where is his reaction on the xenophobia in SA?

Beautiful.

I just wish the lawyers follow this up full time.
Let it be pro bono. The cut when it is successful will be worth the while.

- Eze Chikamnayo narrates to IGBERE TV

Yesterday, around 5:30 Pm as I drove from Isuochi to Enugu, the unthinkable happened. This was just before UNTH after Awgu junction.

Suddenly, this hooded Person jumped out of the bush in front of me and started shooting at my Car. Before I could make anything out of it another three appeared a bit in front and bullets started flying everywhere. I have been hearing about Fulani Herdsmen but what I saw yesterday is better imagined than experienced.

The stories I have read on how these guys operate and THE EVER ABIDING PRESENCE OF JEHOVAH all worked in those few minutes. I was determined not to stop. My Staff, Prince, who was on the Passenger sit literally passed out. As the bullets rained on my Car, I kept speeding away.

About one Kilometer from there, Just before UNTH and NNPC Mega Station was a Military Checkpoint. I heaved a sigh of relief and slowed down. I told the Army guy what was going on just behind their Post. He casually told me that they were aware.. that the driver in front of me just told them. I asked him why he was still standing there without making any move to save the vehicles behind, and he just looked at me blankly and waved me on.

By now, my entire dashboard was full of red lights. The temperature of my Car hit the highest point on the meter. I slowly drove down to the front of NNPC opposite UNTH and pulled the Car out of the road.

It was then it dawned on me what happened. There were over 20 bullet holes in my front fender. Most of these bullets hit directly at my Radiator and other things in front of the engine. The tyres which they were after, didn't get a scratch. There were also two bullet holes on the passenger side of the Car. And few others around the Booth. Let God be praised !

But in ALL these, NOT ONE OF THOSE BULLETS TOUCHED MY BODY AND THAT OF PRINCE, the boy with me. Iam yet to know what became of other incoming vehicles. But at the Military Checkpoint, we pleaded with the army people to alert others not to go in that direction.

Praise God with me.

Nigeria is surrounded.

Nowhere is safe.

This thing is far more serious.

The Government and people of Nigeria should better treat this as an emergency. It's beyond Politics. Anyone can be a victim.

"Twitter Sentiment Analysis: Major Candidates of the 2019 Nigeria Presidential Elections.


Sometime in October 2018, I was thinking about the frontiers of data science and how it is so cool to talk of data science and all things data. There has been talk of how it changes how people and organisations view things. I decided it would be interesting to see how data science can be used to look into one of the hottest topics in town: politics. I am a Nigeria living in the country at the moment so I decided to look at what people thought about the major candidates in the forthcoming election and how it would eventually relate to the result that will be announced by the national electoral body, INEC.

Project Team: I assembled a team of young men and women. I told them I had no monetary reward to offer but I was willing to give them what I can hoping that it matters: an opportunity to learn the python programming language. We met towards the end of October 2018 and I put them through on the project, helped them get equipped and handed them the python script for data gathering on twitter. Three months later and hours away from the 2019 presidential election in Nigerian, I am excitedly tapping away on my laptop. I hope this would not be too long and that it shows as much as we have been able to glean.

Some Considerations: The backdrop of this project revolves around the unsubstantiated claim that social media in Nigeria has no relationship with what happens at our elections. It is strange how most seem to buy it whereas there is abundant reason to think otherwise. I have several numbers I would love to throw around here but for the desire to be brief, suffice it to say that on the average, majority of social media users especially Facebook and Twitter, are between the ages of 18 and 34. Compare this with the Nigerian population age median of 17.9 years and 51.11% of the 84m registered voters being between 18 and 34 years. There is no gainsaying the place of social media pulse in the scheme of things in this our awesomely young nation.

More so, as I am an avid agent and fan of natural language processing, I thought the body of data from tweets about the Nigeria presidential election, which will be arguably be predominantly contributed by Nigerians, will go a long way into building a dictionary of Nigerian speak with all its uniqueness. Finally, why Twitter? Well, like I answered a member of the team, it is because of the level of anonymity that Twitter engenders with its use of @handles. This seems to promote high octane frankness. You are just your handle. It could be xyz! If you have noticed, Nigerians are good at 'trailer jams' on this network: they let their hearts out on topics close to their heart and are not afraid to vent their frustration as frank as they come. What better platform than this? On the technical side, the twitter API is more straightforward and signing up for a developer account is not as blood sucking as say Facebook. Yea.

Down to Business: I will go straight to the point. The team collected a couple thousand tweets shy of 500k on the main aspirants: Atiku and the incumbent Buhari. 'Main' simply because they fly the flag of the two biggest parties with the muscle to reach countrywide. The collection was divided into the three parts of the day: morning, afternoon, night. This is to ensure the best possible distribution of the feed. They streamed live tweets with tweepy in python. In a WhatsApp group and with Dropbox and WeTransfer we were able to move data around. For the most part of 5 days, I was collating and cleaning the data. From the 34 or so columns that each tweet comes with (the 'user' column of the json file returned comes further nested with a dictionary of another 30 or so headers) I was able to take it all down to 6 and built two more to parse information from one that was needed in separate columns.

Summary of Insights: The overall sentiment of all 222,709 tweets (minus the neutral ones) on 'Buhari' showed that 58% and 42% were positive and negative respectively. Of the 275,576 about Atiku, it was 67% and 33% respectively. Each tweet is very rich with information ranging from the text/tweet itself to number of friends, followers, location and so on. Furthermore, it is instructive to note that some of the negative and positive lines have both names in it. This would be as a result of a comparison. Who gets positive from it and who takes the negative without having to go through one by one? As I did not do subject based analysis, I decided to remove all lines of the mention of candidate a in the positive group of candidate b and same in the negative group, the vice versa. the result is the adjusted positive and negative for each candidate.

Location information is not always available on all of them but from those that were, I decided to pick out the major states of the federal as well as the states of the candidates and their running mates. It was interesting that candidate Atiku at 77.1%, had more positive sentiment than Buhari's 73.3 being that it it is the latter's home state. In Adamawa, Atiku's home state, he had 62.2% while Buhari had 53.9%.

More information is available from our work but this the major thrust of it. There are metrics like the single most prolific tweep on each candidate as well as those who with very wide reach having hundreds of thousands of. Users like this will arguably sway sentiments on the candidates more the average Joe. In keeping with Twitter terms and in good faith, I am not going to put those out here. There are also things that the most favorable time for each candidates as well the traffic on them on certain days. These might be priceless brand managers and others like that who are interested in making that their 'market' is selling.

Tools [/b]used for this project include predominantly the python programming language which went into data gathering, cleaning, structuring and eventual analysis. Members of the team have also created Power BI dashboards and working on something with Tableau.

[b]Limitations. I tried as much as possible to guide the team towards getting data three different parts of the day. So, although this might be fair, it does not cover all tweets for 24 hours of the day during this period. Location information is only available for some tweets. The location specific sentiments captured here are from the tweets that bore a valid location tag.

Footnote: This is not an attempt to predict the outcome of the 2019 Nigeria presidential election. It is an attempt to see how the sentiment of Nigerians relate to the eventual outcome of the election."

MrAJQ:
Eyah!
PDP are losing it all

Anyone still seeing this as a PDP APC thing is brain dead. This is about the very heart of how the system of a state works: rule of law.

It is not upheld today, it will be a disaster tomorrow as it enters as precedence.

theophorus:
...it seems this 'guy' is guilty as charged. Because me I don't understand why they are trying to shift the 'Hearing'/days.

You can't understand it because you cannot read simple English language.

Read the article and see why the counsel asked for a shift. Zone Bs are a plague really.

According to a Facebook user:
...


"If you are planning to travel to Abakaliki from Enugu or go to Enugu from Abakaliki kindly suspend your trip for now. The entire express road is blocked and cars and buses are turning back.. I heard a tanker driver was beaten to death by a police officer. The tanker drivers are retaliating and has blocked the entire express road demanding to be heard. Some passengers are even trekking back in fear of their lives.

Don't come and say fake news here o.. Because I am on the road.."

Dami12345:


Really.
Okay.
1. It is documented fact that George bush regime, put atifiku on a list as a criminal for some illegal deals he made, relating to bribe of a senator and other stuff.(public records if you want to check)

2. The list/ status ensure that atifiku would never get a visa to the u.s.

3. Atifiku suddenly goes to the u.s WHILST lobbying for a presidential ticket.

4.the list is not enforced nor retracted. ( if retracted there would be reason for this . again public records)

Its obvious a deal allowing atifiku to lobby in the u.s was done, and u.s President trump would is definitely the dirty kind of man who would do this. And due to his strong position during this deal, atifiku would have offered him a deal of a life time. I can imagine who would pay the price of such a deal would be simple. Nigerians. Because if our President is willing to sell us out for a visa, I doubt he really cares about u.s living of dying, its all just business to him.

You need help bro.
You and cohort believed it's impossible for this man to go to the USA. Now he is there and you say there's something behind he is going to give to Emerica. Even if the US comes out to debunk this you and co will still come up with something.

For once, keep an open mild and your health will improve. No unnecessary stress. It's a promise.

If Atiku is wanted in the US, it is simple, the Nigerian government should report him. The US prosecuted its own former vice president. Who is Atiku to go free if he has questions to answer.

Finally, an allegation is only what is it is: an allegation. Until there's proof, chilax and help your BP. If there's something of interest the US has with him, it will show. So, if it so suits you, pray that he doesn't finish there and come back free. If he does, u guys should swallow your pride abi mumuness. Sorry.

SweetPuffPuff:
Wow. Instead of u folks to see that Atiku would be no good because his banning by the USA for money laundering while vice president.
Instead of remembering how his misused privatization and said that he would AGAIN privatize if elected .U post comments like these

I only hope Nigeria doesn't make another mistake in President. U really can't afford it

Bros the puff puff still dey your brain? Where is Atiku today? ����

LagosismyHome:


He "thief" many money , a whole bucket full ... doesn't have a case to answer in naija because we let criminals go and clap hand for them ..

but he has a case to answer In the USA for money laundering so cant travel there . If Atiku is innocent then i dare him to travel to the US

I hope you are still alive now.
What have you to say?

Dami12345:
I know the only way atiku can enter the u.s as a criminal would be if he has already made deals with the u.s to sell Nigeria's interest.
So the u.s would suspend her enforcement of his detention. Pending the result of the elections.

Either way atiku is not good for Nigeria.

The only way you can say this and mean it is if you really have some brain problem, walahi. Even self deceit can become unrealistic at a point.
