UnknownT:
Liars, the video was in 2021 according to the person that recorded it. Also the vehicle involved was a Ford SUV but lastma posted a GMC SUV in their silly rebuttal.
They think by adding Endsars it will make the people get mad at the person that recorded it.
So it's still an old video? Are you not making the same point as they did, even if with different dates?

Moreover, if the person who posted it said it was 2021, does that mean it really was 2021?

Business › Re: Kuda Bank Lost ₦6 Billion In 2021 by SmartyPants(m): 2:55pm On Sep 17, 2022
BluntTheApostle:
Why do I feel like you are a loan shark agent?

The reality is that when you are a financial institution, and you lend money, you have already entered a credit risk.

Bad loans is not a Nigerian thing. It happens everywhere in the world.

In fact, if we were to go by your logic, since India has the largest bad loan figure, Indians must have a terribly exploitative culture, and loan apps are justified in illegally embarrassing people.

There are different types of defaulters.

There may be those who intend not to repay.

But you can't tar everyone with the same brush. That is generalization. Which is a very terrible way to see society.

Look at Innoson who has a loan to repay but can't because he loaned money to a state government which has been unable to repay him. Can you honestly say he has the intention of not repaying his loan?

Whether you are operating in Nigeria or America, once you lend money to someone or a business (whether Nigerian or American), there is no guarantee that you will get your money back.

Kuda knew this, and went into that business with that at the back of their mind.

I sympathize with them. But it is not enough to justify the illegal practises of loan sharks who abuse confidential data and use blackmail tactics to recover loans.

At this period when we are up in arms against these illegal entities, it is hard to tolerate unguided comments such as yours which can create a drawback.

You cannot be sure which of your loved ones may be patronizing these loan sharks until you see their pictures on the internet with the loan agent claiming that they have sickle cell anemia or that they are dead.
Go back and rethink all you've written here.

1. Do you know the role lenders play in the economy? Do you know what will happen if major lenders like Kuda crash because people essentially steal from them? Don't come in here with a lack of education on the issues, making emotional arguments.

Let me even come to our level of understanding. If Kuda closes down and your family member was a staff member suddenly made jobless, will you tell them what you've just said?

2. Nigerians overwhelmingly have an exploitative culture. That does not mean every single Nigerian borrows and has no intention of paying back. What I've alluded to is the fact that the majority of Nigerians have an exploitative culture.

Can you deny that the vast majority of Nigerian borrowers take other people's money knowing from the start that they have neither the means nor the interest in paying it back?

This requires no defence. Basic comprehension would have prevented you from drafting all that irrelevant stuff about Innoson. Basic observation can also show you the absolute truth of what I have said.

Do the vast majority of Nigerian drivers obey traffic rules without being forced?
Has Nigeria stopped being one of the most corrupt nations on earth?
Is Nigeria not among the top terrorised nations on earth?
Is Nigeria not among the least livable places in the world?

Are those not the hallmarks of an exploitative culture?

Why not go and meet the compilers of these indices and argue that it's not true, because not everyone and not everywhere in Nigeria is like that since you don't understand the difference between a hasty generalization and a statistical inference?

3. Indians indeed have an extremely exploitative culture. What exactly would that prove or disprove?

4. My family members being involved in folly is not an argument against their folly being folly.

5. Never said all that the loan sharks do is correct. I said I have no sympathy for those embarrassed by them, and I never will. Those who come to equity must come with clean hands.
Politics › Re: Britain Owes Igbo Apology, Compensation For Biafra’s Destruction – Prof Anya by SmartyPants(m): 9:38am On Sep 17, 2022
Grandmeister:
They are too evil and wicked to realise this fact. A simple “we’re sorry for the war” would have gone a long way in soothing and healing over the country. Imagine if buhari did that after winning the election? Ipob would have died a natural death believe me. 3 million kids died in that war. The Holocaust that happened longer than the civil war is still talked about till date! And any attempt to deny or denigrate it will be met with swift retribution but in Nigeria we are so callous that we even mock the death of those kids…that’s how vindictive and hateful Nigerians are. Some of them even use the pictures of dying kids with kwashiorkor to mock on this forum. I tell you, many Nigerians are demonic through and through.
You're mixing issues.

The holocaust was genocide within the context of world war 2. You can expect German people to be sorry for the holocaust, but you can't expect them to be sorry for the war.

Similarly, there were acts of genocide committed against the Igbo for which Nigeria, and not Britain, bear the responsibility.

But we are also waiting for you Igbo to apologise for the immense human rights abuses inflicted upon mid-westerners and other so-called minorites in the course of the Biafra war.

Politics › Re: Obi Can Only Win On Social Media - Atiku, Tinubu, Kwankwaso Dismiss Poll Result by SmartyPants(m): 9:00am On Sep 16, 2022
Salvador1:
ok bro in what aspect are u not convinced.
Okay, well these are my questions:

1. What exactly was Peter Obi's economic achievement in Anambra?

a. Today they say he saved XX billion, tomorrow, Soludo says they received no such amount. So I am unclear on what was actually saved - what is the precise figure?

b. Any other economic achievement other than savings?

2. What was Peter Obi's role in enabling SARS?


We have all heard of the atrocities SARS committed under Peter Obi. In particular, Azulu massacre.

a. Did Peter Obi do anything about this? You may say the governor doesn't control the police, which is true. So did he do any of the following which he could have done:

i. Liaise with the police commissioner to control SARS better? (Which Lagos State did through the Lagos State Security Trust Fund)

ii. Engage the Federal government through the Courts?

iii. Raise awareness by condemning the event publicly?

I'm sure you have seen how Sanwo Olu has been fighting the police over Makoko. The governor is not entirely powerless to resist the police where he believes they are wrong. So is it that Peter Obi lacks willpower, or was he in support of their actions?

b. Are reports of Peter Obi using SARS to harass is opponents untrue?

3. Is it true that Peter Obi is not corrupt?

Peter Obi's aide was found with over 200 million in cash. he, Obi, claimed this was for suppliers who preferred cash. As against the laws of Nigeria and clear principles of best administrative practices?

Is that the way he will run the country?

Even in small businesses out there, who pays bulk sums in cash? Sure, he was "investigated" and cleared. So have Tinubu and Atiku yet that doesn't clear them of the doubts Nigerians have over their character.

In summary, people say Obi is for the youth but Obi never showed any signs of caring when youths were massacred under his nose. Obi is the economic saviour, but as yet, all facts cited in support of this position are unclear. Obi is not corrupt, yet has been indicted in corrupt practices.

Can you reliably clear my doubts?

Peter Obi may not be a saint bro but he is the best candidate we have so far.

From Edo State we're highly Obidient to the mission of rescuing Nigeria. There is nothing tribal about it, we the binis are not tribalistic bigots over here We just want the best for us all
Okay. I'm from Edo too but i definitely see this entire election as a tribal one.

If Peter Obi was from Edo would all these South Easterners be genuinely "Obedient"? I strongly doubt it.

But Obi as a candidate is not bad. It's his fake Obedients I have an issue with.

Is Peter Obi the only one contesting this election? That's the question that should be on the lips of every Nigerian who keeps seeing these daily attacks. If Obi wasnt positioned to win, why then are all the powers that be jointly fighting him? These guys have nothing to use against him, so they resort to attacking the morale of his followers. When you see the people who collectively destroyed this nation attacking just one man, follow that one man blindly. E get why
Follow blindly indeed. Was this not the same way all the opposition attacked Buhari, and his northern brothers and Muslim brothers followed him blindly?

You may have your personal (tribal) reasoms for being a blind follower. You and your type alone will follow Peter Obi blindly.

This is not an invention that you can patent against unlicensed use. The minute Atiku legally accessed that document all future claims perished because the knowledge is presumed to be transferrable.

This stuff is common knowledge so as long as it is the idea and not the specific document that is used, he has absolutely no agument.

Family › Re: Married Men, This Is Why Your Wives Are Denying You Sex by SmartyPants(m): 2:37pm On Sep 15, 2022
Blessedmercy8:
Not true. A woman can love you and not be in the mood. The problem with you men is that you are so highly insensitive and all you care about is you yourself and you especially when it comes to sex. It's like a woman should not have a say over her own body just to please you.

If a woman is not in the mood and you keep complaining and forcing yourself on her, she'll begin to dislike you. Me I will just hate you. Let me not even mince words here.

Men should learn to exert their energy in more productive things than always whining about sex all the time.

Love has nothing to do with mood. You can love and not be in the mood. Besides, the woman's body is flesh, not iron that you'll be pounding all the time and she won't get tired. Abeg, make una carry that una iron bender body park well. Biko!

Everytime sex sex.
Sharap dier!!

He is right on point.

There was a married lady who was so into me once. This woman wanted me by any means necessary.

But guess what, she used to tell me how she used to lock the door when she enters the bathroom because she doesn't want to have sex with her husband.

Another married man used to complain about how his wife wanted to nack like 3 times each night.

Women too have urges. No matter how tired you may get, you can't cheat nature.

The logical conclusion is that the women who do this do it because they're not in love or they despise their husbands.

There can be rape even in marriage. Check the definition of rape before you come out here to spill nonsense.
Wrong.

Most legal systems do not recognize marital rape. Nigeria inclusive. The law takes the position that marriage gives rise to consent that endures in perpetuity.

This is something that is changing with advocacy around the world, but for now, it's still a difficult area. The English only changed their Law on this subject a few years ago, for example.

Added to this, there is the immense difficulty of proving that your husband raped you. In most cases it's impossible to satisfy the burden and standard of proof.
