Thanks boss for this piece , it's as if you are talking to me directly

All the best bro.

Solid question actually. Just wondering why they didn't use a Kenyan artist.

Well for you I think it may be too late - you may need to adjust your dreams a little.

But I think this thread should be a warning to the unmarried - don't rush into marriage. Before you do, you need to work and build up to the stage where marriage will help you develop your dreams, not hinder them.

2 years ago, a colleague from the university who had gotten married looked me in the eye and said Smarty don't do it! - until you've accomplished your self development dreams otherwise marriage may become a trap.

Get that master's first. Build that side business first. Buy that car first. if within reach, build that house first. And not getting married early doesn't mean running around with women either.

This seems very much like collusion to pump and dump. Otedola's investment simply helped drive up Transcorp's shares, and now they want to make it seem like he is exiting out of friendship.

These money men have just scammed a few gullible investors.

TemplarLandry:
Degrees from those Sudanese-Islamic-mushroom universities lack merit. Someone who graduated from there too would raise their shoulders that they studied “abroad”. Funny.

Their choice. If people go to Togo why not Sudan which is much better?

TemplarLandry:
Yet another fiasco exposes us to international ridicule.
By the way, who goes to a war-ravaged country like Sudan to study? Clearly someone looking for a shortcut to earn a questionable, wonky degree from a mushroom university. I shake my head.

Sudan has not been at war for many years and the war raaged part is the South Sudan. What you've said now is like a foreigner saying Nigeria is war torn because there is an insurgency in the north.

sonature1:
Ebonyi State is one state with sooooo little and their governor keeps delivering mind-blowing infrastructural projects. Give Dave Umahi the kind of money Lagos or Rivers has, he will turn his state to Dubai.

In fact, other state governors in Nigeria should be taking lectures from him about how he achieved all this with so little.

Someone should create a thread of what Dave Umahi did in 8 years so as to blow people's minds here. When it comes to infrastructure, that man is only in competition with himself.

You are someone too. You can create the thread.

IyaebeTheGreat:
Kini big deal? But You Dy chat with Nengi and others for DM. You better keep shut before we open your book 🤣

His statement here is about business - in view of Otedola acquiring shares in his company. But all you can think of is sex. Why?

In any case, after you open the book, what next? Will it remove one naira from his billions?

Nelsononu:
I thought the promise was to get all Nigerian nationals from the war zone. Regardless

How does this stop them from doing that?

IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, it is not enough to write good sentences or good English, you must also know what the law of the land is saying.
Please what concerns INEC with the eligibility of any candidate? It is the responsibility of political party to cross check and find out if a candidate they are fielding is eligible or not. INEC doesn't screen candidate and cannot reject candidate, that has been settled in court. Their only assignment is the conduct of an election and no more.
So, if a case is filed in court against a winner of an election and it raises concern on the eligibility of the candidate so declared, nothing concern INEC with such prayer, the prayer is meant for the winner political party and the candidate to react to it.
The only issue that concern INEC is how its conduct the election, that bothers on the result. Anything outside of it is tantamount to grandstanding and partiality.

Funny how you didn't quote a single law of the land.

Now listen: INEC applies both the Electoral ACT and the Constitution. It is bound to and by both. Now under Section 84 (3) of the Electoral Act, INEC participates in the nomination process by ensuring that certain sections of the Constitution are upheld. Specifically, with respect to the present issue, Section 131 (and 137) of the Constitution imposes certain minimum criteria, which, while INEC generally maintains an unobtrusive posture, it is bound to ensure that parties observe.

This is why candidates must submit their particulars and educational credentials to INEC prior to the elections. Are you not aware that such a screening and validation exercise took place prior to the election?

Now, I haven't even said that INEC must prove this aspect of the case. What I've said is:

1: The petition is one and the parties are equally joined wholly and not separately. This means INEC does have a duty/privilege to respond to any issues raised, in order to prevent the elections from being overturned;

2. That INEC is in a position to give evidence as to the qualification of candidates, either as a party interested in proceedings or as a party that partook/oversaw a critical element of the nomination process. That is, even if INEC was not a party to the suit, it could easily be involved as Amicus. As it stands, it is a party to the suit.

CSTRR:
I think we know the candidate that plays to emotions with Yoruba lo kan ethnic chants and Yoruba ronu nonsense.

I repeat, the cases for inec and tinubu are different.

Tinubu is being sued on a number of factors including his eligibility to run for office according to the constitution as a result of his past dealings.

That has little to do with inec. It's not the job of inec to screen candidates.
That is the job of the dss.

Though shettima is being sued for double candidacy, which I guess draws inec into the same boat.

But mostly, Inec is being sued for their failure to transmit results electronically right from the polling unit and many other irregularities.

It should defend itself and let tinubu defend himself.

Are they going to defend tinubu from his drug pasts or his foreign citizenship?

Lol. Tinubu is not under trial, therefore the question of defending him does not even arise. Rather, the issue is whether INEc ought to have allowed him to participate in elections or not. INEC must of of course give evidence to prove to the Courts that as far as INEC is concerned, there was nothing barring Tinubu from participating in the elections. Is it not obvious that this will be a fundamental aspect of the case?

You don't know what you're talking about and you insist on repeating yourself as if that will suddenly give your arguments more weight. Well, I have nothing further to say since you have invented your own rules of civil procedure. Who am I to comment on your own special laws that exist only in your own head?

Funny guy. Once parties are joined in a suit, there is nothing like the separation of issues to be directed more or less to one party or the other. In fact, it is itching my fingers to be having this sort of discussion. You are a lay person and this is my field. I am educating you not debating with you.

Bye.

BeardedmeatR:
*Once again, it is Mr. Allen Onyema the IGBO man, CEO Air Peace with his Airline to the rescue! National Service it is!*

Thank you Allen Onyema, CEO,Air Peace for your continued goodwill to Nigerians! Each time Nigerians get into trouble outside the shores of this country U are immediately on hand to rescue them!
Nigeria and Nigerians do not hate themselves, it's the loud mouths using politics to eat that creates the noises and troubles. They capitalise on the mass illiteracy of the populace, brainwash them with sentiments of ethnicity and religion in order to continue to remain in power because they have no other business outside politics!
Now, nobody is tagging Onyema IPOB. Nobody is saying he is Biafra. We are all happy as he offers free service that FG is struggling with and can not still offer.
The Igbo is loved when she helps solve problems. She is hated when she seeks political office in Nigeria! Mr. Allen Onyema and Air Peace did it for stranded Nigerians in South Africa, Ukraine and now Sudan! Igbo man evacuated them free of charge. The more they are hated, the more the IGBO do good work for humanity! Same Air Peace and same Igbo man. From available statistics, the population of Nigerians in Sudan are more of the Northern Nigerian origin. We have more wealthy people in the North. In fact the richest African is from Northern Nigeria! Many rich men who have private jets come from Northern Nigeria but now they are quiet. Those who have private jets with abundance of money from the South West are quiet! But when it is elections season, they will remember that they are North or South West! Man's inhumanity to man conspicuously on display. Please where are the likes of Bayo Onanuga, FFK, Keyamo, Shehu Garba, the loquacious el-Rufai and his son including BAT who showed so much hatred in their tweets about Igbo in the Presidential Election? Where are they? They have all melted away like ice! People who have nothing to offer humanity but hatred! The Nigerian populace have also refused to learn. How do you place a man that helps you behind the one that brainwashes you just to steal your Commonwealth? Can we learn?

_Igbo Amaka! We love and we care!_

Peter Obi is also a very rich man with access to jets - he has been taking chartered jets everywhere. Maybe you should add his name along with that of Atiku whom you equally curiously omitted.

I wonder why you focused only on names from a particular party. Are you pursuing an agenda?

Sometimes it seems as though one may be advocating for certain groups but no! I simply cannot stand people with agendas, who tell half truths or add jara to the truth.

CSTRR:
Yes, inec has been sued.

But the cases are different. Inec has its own case to answer.

Inec has no business defending tinubu.

The cases are not different at all. INEC is joined as a respondent along with APC and Tinubu. It's one suit which concerns all the parties at the same time. INEC is not defending Tinubu - in fact, it's the other way round because INEC conducted the election and declared Tinubu the winner, so if you want to contest that, you are directly entering an adversarial process with INEC by saying they have done the wrong thing.

INEC is only, therefore defending themselves. If they were doing anything out of place, the Court would not entertain it, and if it did, then Obi's lawyers know what to do.

Obi is simply, as he always does, playing to the emotions of his support base.

AntiTerrorist:
Why is Mahmud Yakubu behaving as if he is a member of APC and as if he as a personal fight with Peter Obi. Definitely, INEC does not know his responsibility as an electoral empire.

Lol.

Obi and LP sued INEC. The role of INEC as an impartial arbiter has therefore subsided. Now they are in Court at the behest of Obi and are expected to defend themselves, or risk admitting his allegations--which are pretty serious.

What more do you want?

kokorokoman:
After over one year in Ghana without anything to show for it, I have finally decided to come back to Nigeria.

With no job, house or anything tangible to fall back to but i am just determined to start all over again because i believe no matter how far you have gone on the wrong part it is never too late to start again.

In my late thirties, no qualifications, no family, no flourishing or tangible business but determined to learn anything that can at least substain me.

now this are my questions.
*can someone like me survive the current nigeria economy?
*does the incoming tinubu govt have a place for people like me?
*on getting to naija, what digital skill do you advice me to learn? -- the skill shouldn't take much time to learn.
*i have interest in learning video and photo editing but dis skill go fit give person money?
*which apps, sites should i register on here in ghana so that i will hit the ground running as soon as i come to nigeria?.

please i need your help and suggestions.
please i need suggestions on the fastest and profitable digital skill to learn in nigeria or any business that can fetch little but quick money enogh for me to settle down in nigeria.
i am now a shadow of myself, ghana na wa o.
nairalanders abeg make una help me o.

Do you want to keep moving around in circles? forget fast money. Take your time and perfect the skill that most aligns with your natural ability. Long term success is what you should be more concerned with at this stage.

Nbote:
I thought his sole interest was in making sure he bought Arsenal FC

I can't recall him saying so but i see this as a stepping stone to making a renewed bid to buy Arsenal. I imagine this is an attempt to prove himself as an investor in football in order to prove himself worthy of Arsenal.

GeneralPula:
Really?

Oh yes. After the South split with most of the oil wealth its not been as wealthy but still wont be counted among the poor African countries.

xevove2061:
You will be too litle to know that governors of 1999 dispensation were given governorahip and presidential candidacy based on agreements and compensations But hey, lets talk about the things that are not important.

Was his senatorship too of the agreement and compensation variety? What of Soludo - he is of the 99 school of leadership?

Please rest.

Ever8090:
Wetin be their problem for that country sef?...I think them been say na to separate na him be solution to their problem?...them don separate wetin come be their problem again?...

When war ceases, what do you do with all the soldiers and arms? For many of them this is the only life they know. For their generals, this is their only claim to power and wealth.

GeneralPula:
I’m yet to understand what’s going on in Sudan..

Country wey poor wey still dey add to their nemesis..

Sudan is among the richer African countries.

xevove2061:
True leadership is earned. Go and verify

So governorship is given freely? Lol.

xevove2061:
I can deduce you are not igbo because if you are, you will not consider someone like an nnamani as a leader in Igbo terms. Leadership is earned in Igbo land. Its not a birth right or an imposotion

It's hard to relate with some of you sometimes. Someone was elected governor amd senator and you are still talking about "leadership is earned in Igboland".

So governorship and senatorship comes by birth abi? Okay sir.

xevove2061:
Nnamani is nobodys leader. Put him and an osibanjo or even a Tinubu and see who igbos will choose.

He was a governor and senator wasn't he? That's not leadership?

Romanoff:
Sorry. I thought I was commenting on another topic.

Which topic is that?

mauchiz:
Read ur comments again.

Obi won in the whole southeast, Is not compulsory that Soludo and Nnamani will suppport Obi.

Soludo and Nnamani don't represent the choice Igbos

Look, go and find work to do because I don't have any time to spell things out for you after this:

My comment has nothing to do with Soludo and Nnamani representing Igbos. I was responding to a person who said Nigerians rejected Igbos by rejecting Obi. I mentioned Soludo and Nnamani to show that some Igbos themselves rejected Obi - which makes it implausible to argue that rejecting one man is the same as rejecting an entire group.

If you still don't get it, just rest.

ufotunang:
... even if he does not know me...I am proud and appreciate what my fellow south Eastern brother is doing..we have to appreciate what onyeama is doing and realised that south east people are good people

Yes that's my point exactly. You are using Onyeama as a cover for your own (not necessarily you in particular) hate towards other Nigerians. If you say you are good, then do good as an individual, don't borrow from Onyeama's good. Simple.

GreyLaw:
And so who is Nnamani and Soludo to Igbos? Nigerians came together and listened to a man called Obi show them how to do politics with clean hands and they voted for him. Yet you hypocrite of a myriad hues cannot see good in the man simply because of where he is from.

The joke is on you no matter where you claim to come from. Many of you Nigerias are full of vitriol; it's unbelievable.

If that corrupt SARs man who looted Anambra dry and illegally stashed the money in Pandora accounts is the hero you want for yourself and your family that's your business. The majority of Nigerians obviously haven't fallen for him. Whatever reason you may like to ascribe to that is also your business. I'm not interested in what you have to say about it.

ufotunang:
..yes we wish our fellow nigerians well in which my Igbo brother from south East representing the south east...is willing to evacuate nigerians from Sudan... something the federal government cannot do till now

Onyeama we know and appreciate as Onyeama. But you can't hide your own illwill towards your fellow Nigerians, particularly those of South-Western extraction under the banner of what Onyeama is doing, a man who does not know you, and probably has no interest in ever knowing you.

GreyLaw:
Your leaders such as Pa Adebanjo rejected Tinubu. Majority of Nigerians rejected answers still rejected him till date. So what?

Your hypocrisy is bordering on insanity!

From beginning to end I have no idea what you're talking about.

Who is Pa Adebanjo to me? Did I tell you I'm Yoruba?

And what is my business with Tinubu?

How does this relate to the subject under discussion - which was simply the fact that rejecting one man does not imply rejecting his tribe?

You need help.

ufotunang:
.. Peter obi is an Igbo .so it's igbos that doing this good work...Allen onyeama represents the igbos are

Onyeama doesn't represent the Igbos. He is an individual who represents his company and perhaps his family.

You that want to hide under the cover of Mr Onyeama, what good have you done to your fellow man? Do you even wish your fellow Nigerians well?

mauchiz:
So Soludo now represents the igbos?
I don't think you know what you are saying.

How does this connect with anything I said? Did I say he represents Igbos in any way? Learn to read what a person is replying to before you reply too.

PHIPEX:
When it comes to elections they will remember Airpeace is IPOB and can not be trusted, Igbos have not built bridges from ocean to desert, bunch of hypocritical nation.

Do we vote for tribes or individuals? Nigerians rejected Peter Obi, not Igbos. Same way the north rejected Atiku - does that mean the north rejected the north?

No amount of emotional blackmail will make anyone regret not choosing mr Obi. Even your leaders such as Soludo and Nnamani rejected the man. So does that mean they rejected Igbos too?
