One word: IBETO!

Okay, what happened to Ibeto?

DOTian:
Some of these serious business moves that the Igbo business men are making outside of Nigeria in recent times, should be kept secret for obvious reasons. These are not normal times. Last time Obi Cubana and Emoney them went to Liberia for some business deals, Cubana was picked up immediately he landed in Nigeria. Folks didn't seem to notice the timing of that arrest. Innoson is obviously a bigger fish, so they will be more careful with him, but don't be surprised to see the caliphate sending the likes of Dangote and Rabiu, with the help of the Nigerian state, to go and spoil things for him in these African countries all in the name of "investments" too.

Where and when has something like this ever happened?

KNOWMORE56:
This is good. But this wicked generation will not like to promote and publicise this reconciliation video....

Christians and non-christians were busy in all social media outlets that time, posting about the happening... only for the purpose of bringing the church and her school down ...

The woman was even encourage to go extra mile on YouTube....

Can the same thing be done now about this settlement?

Why are you so bothered about the reputation of the school and the Church? Is that your mission here on earth? Do good, so that the name of Christ will not be blasphemed on your account! Having failed on that occasion, I think your next course of action should be to maintain silence.

Or is all this reconciliation all about showing off to the media?

PhoneCareIkeja:
Acts of terrorism done in the name of Islam do not equate acts condoned by Islam" Islam and the overwhelming majority of Muslims are free from the barbarous acts perpetrated by this terrorists all around the world.

But those who commit these acts are welcommed and honoured within their communities.

Has there ever been a time when a muslim community has disowned such kilers?

Zooposki:
I’ve heard of more lynchings in the south than the north of recent.

Which is why it's particularly interesting that in a region not known for lynching, every time we hear of lynching it is always the same profile of victim.

What does that tell you?

daylay7:
Hello everyone,

I open this post to get some opinion about these two cars.
Which one is better?

Havent driven the camry pencil light but i had a 6cylinder e46.

It was the best car i ever drove and never had any significant issues. The mechanic said the 6 cylinder version has less problems than the 4 cyclinder version.

The car was really great. Could hit 160 with perfect drift and handling but it also consumes petrol

Very famous movies but i bet 95% of you won't get these:

1. "You can't handle the truth!"

2. "True gentlemen allow a lady maintain her fictions"

Fragility6:
First you said it was because they were against Abacha's regime now you are saying they were never arrested or sentenced but killed by Abacha's hit squad. You seem confused but i'm not surprised.I expected less from 'smelly pants'. This is my last reply to you

If you like let it be your last or 100th reply. You're just another inconsequential faceless nairaland nobody. I replied your comment to educate you on thing you are not aware of. You can accept or reject. That is not a problem for me but I will certainly correct you.

Now, the point was that in Kano at that time, there was a growing wahhabist movement whos eislamist fundamentalism was becoming a threat to Abacha's government. Sanusi was a key figure in this movement.

The murder of Akalulka was orchestrated by these men led by Sanusi. They were never arrested nor charged and never sentenced lawfully. They were rather, executed one by one.

This was not punishment for killing Akaluka, but it was done to kill the Wahhabist movement when Abacha saw the ability of the group to mobilise the lower class.

Sanusi was spared and detained without charge, something he himself has spoken about, and later released, all because of his family's connections.

It would do you good to recognize when you are conversing with your betters, and to then apply your brain to proper comprehension.

Fragility6:
Bros go read your history book well. Sanusi was released an handed over to Mutallab(father of the Christmas day bomber). Mutallab pushed Sanusi into banking since he had a degree in economics

This is called coasting on half knowledge.

You are narrating what happened to Sanusi to show that you have some knowledge of the incident. That is fine and good, and I never said Sanusi was not handed over to Mutallab's father.

What I said was, they were never arrested or sentenced to anything - that is those who were killed. They were assassinated by Abacha's hit squads.

If you challenge this, post the so-called history book you read it from.

Fragility6:
9 men were arrested for doing something similar during Abacha's regime. 8 were sentenced to death. The last person was spared coz he had connections. That same man went on to become cbn governor at a time.Sanusi L. Sanusi... In Asari's voice 'how many times will they tell you that Nigeria is not for you'

They were never arrested nor sentenced. They were surreptitiously assassinated, and not because they murderd Gideon Akaluka, but because they were becoming a threat to Abacha and the murder incident was the last straw.

thebosstrevor1:
Good

The number of people that have been burnt in the south just because they were accused of stealing is something you southerners need to talk about.

Just yesterday, 2 young boys were burnt to death because they were accused of stealing.

Where is the justice, some of the people pointing fingers supported the lynching and tyre burning of those boys without asking if they were guilty or not.

Some of you now see burning human as normal. There is no difference between those fanatics and you.

Jungle justice is widely condemned by educated southerners. Widely so. It is a little understandable that the lower classes may behave like animals across both regions but the big problem we have with you northerners is that your upper class actually encourage the behaviour of the lower class.

You can hardly ever find educated southerners engaging in mob justice but here we are with mob action carried out within, a tertiary institution, and by students!

And is it as though it is the first time? No! Lamido Sanusi, one of the north's brightest sons, is on record as having led the mob that executed innocent Gideon Akaluka.

Do you want to pretend not to see the problem?

Aboki99:
Both BH (2011) and bandits (2015) are a recent phenomena to destabilise the peace in the north.

What killers can you point b4 these group of two?

You must be a toddler.

As far back as the 70s northern muslins have been killing christians.

As far back as the 80s there has been mai tse something which buhari crushed

As far back as the 90s we have been hearing fulani harassing farmers, religious clashes in Plateau.

Try to decieve elsewhere.

poweredcom:

My friend, his name is Idah Peterside.

Ernesthugo:
BECAUSE HIS FIRST NAME IS PETERSIDE>>>>>>>>


;

His first name is Idah!

I've noticed Nigerians do this weird thing of switching people's names around for no reason.

His name is Idah Peterside, why turn it to Peterside Idah?

fergie001:
Heads of Extra-Ministerial Departments who are interested to contest were also asked to leave.

Was it extra-ministerial or members of the FEC? Extra-ministerial wouldn't affect the likes of Amaechi and Ngige, and so on

fergie001:
Emefiele is not a political office holder.

I also don't think the CBN is an Extra-Ministerial Department.

What do you mean?

The one thing I love about 2023 is that the preponderance of candidates indicates the confidence of the polity in free and fair elections. This may finally be our chance as a people to effect our will.

And you with Tecno phone and 200 naira Data is the matured one?

The fruit of your action can't be cancel out by lengthy explanation.

Does he owe you a duty to cancel the fruit of his action?

Thebadpolitican:
I won't Believe that an American don't know snow fall in UK, except he didn't pass is geography class which would be bad a educational background which is also untrue for an American School

Mate is used in UK that I know, but for Australia I don't know and I don't expect an American to know either too, Australia is a boring country that hardly pop up in the news

In American is almost like a norms for everybody to go for a vacation atleast 2times in their life time, and they are open to so much opportunities to work in foreign country to even teach basic English, to non speaking countries and opened to several cultures from foreigner's from differen part of the world so how can they become ignorant except you were talking to a junkies

Yoga is something must Americans do for relaxation and I guess it's from Asia, the Asians didn't bring it to America, Americans did themselves

Even the Bitcoin is from Japan , Americans also visit India, and Caribbean nation's they least place they visit is the shithole continent and most times they come here for either for work and they are later forced to abandon it, they only just go to south Africa and it there...

Americans travelling to Europe is even the most common and very cheap touring the whole continent

Americans would name cities in Dubai ,because Dubai they believe is more finer than their America

The totally ignorance on Africa has a continent by Americans or Europeans, is the doings of Africans themselves no one wants to hear or visit the shithole not even black Americans

Why you dey talk like this naw? So bitcoin and yoga that we also know in Nigeria did Nigerians travel to Japan to bring it here? Are you saying you are not aware of the internet? Or is it that you don't know that millions of Asians have migrated to the US over the years?

Try to back your hypothesis with evidence, not many words. For instance, you have said like 10 tens, that the average American goes on vacation two times. Where did you get this info?

Kriss216:
But, Nigeria is third world country na

So that is to say that coming from a third world country means they as individuals do not deserve to be respected?

Thebadpolitican:
Stop that rubbish talk Americans go for vacation atleast twice in their life time
To different continent apart from Europe and america

They are not so ignorant about other countries from other continent

Africa is a shithole non of them wants to visit or something interesting comes from you will find in the news

Nigeria is only known on the news by Americans that is not enough if they don't visit
Because it's a shithole

Nope. The average American knows very little about the outside world.

I had arguments trying to convince one that it snows in England, and another that "mate" is not used in Australia alone. Etc.

You'd be surprised how many of them have never even left their home state to a next door state, not to talk of travelling abroad.

Ofodirinwa:
The article. We're always looking for a excuse to call someone Nigerian

Read in context. The nexus to her Nigerian ancestry is to highlight the irony of she, herself being the child of an immigrant, uttering such hateful nonsense.

no one is claiming her.

Zanzibar1:
I have come here to raise this issue because i believe someone must have passed through what i am going through at the moment.

There is this Lady i met in March, she is super classy and has all the curves and looks like a model. What brought us together was just a friendly convo and a friendly tease that i admire her nails and since then she has been all over me.
She asked me if i lived alone and i told her i currently stay with a friend because i just relocated to the city based on job hunting levels. She asked what my plan was and i told her that i would like to first get an apartment while i sort out other things.

I don't know what exactly she does for a living although she said she sells women hairs, bags and shoes. I have actually seen her post them on her whatsapp. What surprise me the most was that she doesn't deny me access to her phone. This made me to loosen my grip a bit regarding my phone privacy ... Then one day, she saw a loan app message requesting me to pay my outstanding debt, she asked me how come and i told her the truth that i was seriously broke and i wanted to take her out. I wanted the two of us to go swim together and have fun. And that was why i took the loan. She frowned and asked why i was stressing myself to impress her .
She transfered some money to me to offset the debt. it all happened like juju. i am still trying to wrap my head around that.

I am trying my best to fit in with her but something is really off somewhere. I don't want to assume i know entirely what she does for a living but then, i have grown to really admire her. I wouldn't want to call it love but all my thoughts are always about her nowadays. Like 4 days ago i questioned her about some friends of hers i saw on her icloud and since then she has been giving me tough time.

Lately, she told me point blank that if i cant get my own apartment, she'll have to stop dating me. she said she is ready to even pay part of the money involved but a nigga got nothing to afford even a face me and face you room. I have tried my best to explain to her how i am even surviving and how broke i am to get a 150k self con. She keeps saying i am going to get a job and ill be fine, that i am a man and i will certainly raise the money if she as a lady can raise part of it.

I dont know why she believes so much in that tho cuz i have been very opened to her. My mind has been filled up and i dont have anyone to share it with thats why i brought it here. i have my doubts about her but i love her.

Please pardon any typos, i am writing this straight from my heart

That's a nice forward thinking girl but you have to leave her because you are not right for each other at this point.

1. You suspect she is into runs

2. She feels you are lazy and silly (for taking the loan to take her out when you can't afford a place of your own)

She will only make you feel bad and under pressure while you will start to resent her and eventually one day you will fight. Things will get said.

You will accuse her of being a runs girl. She will call you a lazy man. Your relationship will go from good to irreparably damaged overnight. You may never forgive yourself.

Let her go now, and focus on yourself.

The elders used to say that a man who does not have clothes does not keep his hands inside his pocket.

bigjackass:
I don't know why I'm impressed by this your wife

I suspect it's because you're a big jackass sir!

Blue3k:
These guys are a sensitive bunch always looking to get violent when their egos are bruised. Lol you make fun if me so I'll lock you in cage.

Gives you a good idea of how inflated these people's egos are, and then it makes sense why they have no sympathy for the common man.

fabinfos:
What does the law contain?

You can be arrested for insulting public figure like the governor, online.

Blablamalala:
You are still parading your IGNORANCE my dear brother. The court doesn't work like that lol. What you quoted up there with respect to the subject matter is very particular of a layman's point of view which you are?

Did it define what is PORNOGRAPHY? Are all sex related cases a pornography all because some people chose to film themselves?

What then will the kids be charged for? Acting child pornography? Or the same insinuation of rape by the girl's mum which she chose to make public so as to get public sympathy?

Infact the guy doesn't even need a lawyer if he is smart and elequent.

Is Twitter unaware of the act you quoted above and that was why the allowed the video and have themselves not press charges?

Is an accusation of rape a child's play. If this case is to be followed very diligently, yawa go gas no be small. Abeg rest you no sabi anything.

You are doing your best to sound legally-inclined and it's irritating. Each post is full of more rubbish than the last.

1. The kids are minors. Do you know what the legal implication of that is with respect to being charged?

2. Can you find any place on twitter where that video is still up? Can Twitter possibly press charges for al the offences committed on the platform all over the world?

3. The meaning of pornography is not in dispute. It is an ordinary English word. If you know even the rudiments of law, you should know what the relevant canons of interpetation are with respect to such. What is relevant is what is child pornorpahy in the eyes of the law since child pornography is a technical term.

You seem to be one of those mentally unstable persons that will argue till eternity so I leave you to it.

Blablamalala:
It wasn't a warning. The already know that they will loose woefully if the thread such a path in the court of law as long as the CONTEXT of the charge is an area of emphasis.

For example, you think as long as a person dies in your hands it automatically translate to a murder case in the court of law? Laugh Wan kill me ..

What rubbish is this? Who would ever believe such and why would you bring up such an asinine example and then turn around to laugh at yourself?

Are you even okay?

Mr. Bye.
