I am nominating you for FBI

Amen

mmsen:
Look at the stupid father - he can't understand what they have done wrong?

What an slowpoke.

He's better off without the both of you.

Did you actually read the whole article? His father never abandoned him.

NaijaElba:
life is funny and some fools want him to play for Nigeria ....how's that possible when the Nigeria fathers wasn't there for him while he was growing...
I wish Dele can tell the world while he chose to abandon his parents. nobody knows tomorrow. I don't pray to have a broken home sha.

Now it is clear why the young lad refused to play for Nigeria.

Well i wish them a happy reunification.

The Dier family are enjoying though...two high profile "sons".

*sigh*

I don't like having to do this all the time but i think this lady is lying about a lot of things.

She tells the story like, she got there and parked, walked in, got her food, the man got ready to leave, the security came in and called her, the man came and asked who was blocking him, the man rushed her and grabbed her keys, all in 10 minutes.

1. The security came in first to ask her to come and move the car.

a. This means the man did not start by being angry, he followed the right procedure by allowing the security locate the offender. SO at which point does he go from being perhaps slightly irritated to outrightly outraged? What intervening incidents have occured?

b. She asked the security to move the car themselves. This indicates that she was unwilling to get up to move the car, because as she said she had "barely sat down" to her meal. If the man was patient enough to allow the security go in to call her without following them at first, it stands to reason that the security must have taken some time trying to convince her to move the car which prompted the fellow to follow up and go inside himself.

2. He got inside and asked who was blocking him and then before she could look up he rushed and took her key.

How did he locate her as being the one who was blocking him? Particularly since by the time he allegedly grabbed her keys she still had not yet had the time to look up?

This means at this point she refused to acknowledge that she was the one blocking him and this is probably where and why the man lost it. He grabbed her keys ostensibly to move the car himself obviously because she was refusing to get up.

3. She says he came back inside and poured her food on her. This sounds like something that happened by accident. Like he returned her key in a rough way and maybe spilled some of her rice or something on her. Typically if you want to make a scene you pour liquid on people not food.

4. She assaulted an angry, physically imposing man 4 times and he did not retaliate. That she had the space and time to slap him thrice means he also had the space and time to slap her back but he didn't. Who appears to be more self-controlled here?

If i'm angry enough to pour food on you it means inside me i am daring you to get angry and do something so i can actually give you the beating i want.

The story, like most one-sided accounts, does not add up.

For people who work entirely online, Osun is probably the best bet. Safe, cheap with good power supply.

I guess this poll didn't quite turn out the way you expected huh?

brownsugar23:
The person taking video could not draw her attention to it. Nawa ooo

You really believe an adult woman went out of the house without a bra, in a exposed top and doesn't know her boobs are exposed when she dances in such a way as to make them bounce?

You obviously don't understand marketing.

I do feel for the guy but honestly... this is embarrassing.

terrible.

mexxmoney:
This man has lost it

Dunno why but i just found this so funny. Free the guy abeg.

my oh my...this pitch is making my hamstrings itch to play football...

cummando:
Pikin wey no get papa na anybody dey beat am


That's Nigeria's case...
Can this happen to an American?

Happens everywhere to everyone.

And if he used his father's name so what?

Your father's name is a valuable resource that not many are able to use. All this hating on rich people just because they are rich needs to stop.

the kid is a natural... lol

gudvibz:
Not doubting your experience but I'm pretty sure I can differentiate between both if not at first but subsequently

Well, not doubting your capability either but it is almost a fact that as much as women may claim to be attracted to intelligence, the actual dating pattern of most women does not confirm this assertion.

gudvibz:
So intelligence doesn't make the list abi? just so you know some of us appreciate intelligence and straight forward men

In my experience women who say they like intelligent men generally tend to actually like men who look intelligent as measured by certain superficial factors such as dress sense and elocution, rather than possess any genuine intelligence.

Amakavula:
don't be so bitter. No single guy has all of these qualities. We are only saying you should try with some. Over 50% maybe.

I was going to quote you to say this is frankly unrealistic particularly at number 5. There is always someone to make someone nervous.

The sum-total of your points really is: get your life together and everything will follow.

nuttyhnic:
Rich man story.

I read everything!

i did it, you can do it also.
This nothing but an insult to an average working Nigerians intelligence. Of course I expect some people to see this is as inspirational! There are countless of them on the internet.

One thing they never address
1 you flew to London
2 you flew to Netherland
3 you got a house to stay in London
4 you set up a company in London
5 you set up a company in Lagos and had staff that were negotiating oil deals for you

All these things would have at least rounded up to almost a million pounds.

Come on man. Tell this to your rich friends when you are having cocktails

Do you realize how much money you wasted. And still you are not broke or poor

You are a privileged kid boy. Don't mess with our minds telling us you are one typical hustler.

All these rich kids davido,cuppy etc should stop telling us about their hustle we don't care.

I'd rather listen to the fish seller that trained her kids in school with her proceeds.

Everything on the internet is there for everyone to choose to read or not. The way you are ranting it sounds as though you have been forced to read at gunpoint!

222Martins:
Why do i have this feeling that he is trying to get a pat on the back or prove to society how smart he is or prove to society that he is not a daddy's boy?? Every business man has once in his life backed a deal that didn't sail through and they never made a fuss out of it. Dangote and Femi Otedola didn't sail through with their Blue Star Consortium backed by Tony Elumelu, Cecilia Ibru, Jim Ovia and others.

Now in retrospect, Nearly does not kill a bird!!! In big deals, there's no second place. It's a winner takes all game. I understand he was trying to stay within his circle of competence which is within the oil and gas industry. But with the kind of money and circle of friends he has, he would have just bought out or back a tech startup and ride the waves.

Update: Now for those that may have opposing views, i have read and re-read the article time and again. Aside the euphoria of the write-up, i observed the "I" factor. He credited himself too much, trying too hard to make us understand how smart and brilliant he is. You paid your team thousands of dollars and you don't want to listen to them, you would have gone it all alone and save your money. He should go thank his God the deal didn't sail through. Just like one of my mentor's do say:

"If you are the smartest person on your team, you are in trouble."

2. He lacks personal business experience. He got too emotionally attached to the deal. If there's one thing every businessman knows, it's that there's always another deal opportunity coming.

Keep an objective mind. Yes it is very human to read an article such as this one with the natural prejudice of "who does this privileged brat think he is", but there are some lessons to be learned as well as some important insights into how the highest echelon of the corporate world works, as well as a good dose of humor. Once i pushed my prejudice aside i was able to enjoy this piece and i suggest you do the same.

Lalas247:
Lol doesn’t work trust me...... stop gassing these boys Toks ..

Did that work for u be honest

Happy saturday sir

It does work but only in a certain context. Ignoring works with girls who kinda like you already but are maybe keeping their options open.

GossipGirl1:
I think uber and taxify should now make use of dashboard-mounted cameras and other cameras recording the interior within the vehicle. In the event of a legal dispute, recordings could make it easier for the driver to prove his or her version of events.

It should be mandatory.

The reaction was unnecessary. The lady sent him a legitimate business proposal and all he had to do was ignore it. But then i guess, being something of a social media expert himself, he is simply using the letter to boost his hotel's brand.

Dharniel:
Daddy freeze should learn when to back off...
It took some courage for the girl to confess and tell the truth. please don't make it more complicated for her cus the lady is in deep shit already as she already breached the contract between herself and her clients (the politicians).
I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow's news headlines will be "Stephanie otobo found dead in the gutter". so please daddy freeze should let her be...

If that be the case then she has nothing to lose by naming names and providing evidence. Quite on the contrary, if she really can indeed provide the evidence, then those implicated will not be able to make any bold move against here since it would further implicate them.

makky555:
OK right now I'm trying not to be on anyone's side here but then I'm forced to.
Remember the guy said the location where he dropped her there were security lights right?Technically the video prove otherwise cuz the only light I saw there was from her phone.
You said the guy ignored her while she was recording but in the guy's story he said she was making a phone call so basically his reason for ignoring is because he was unaware of the video
True the lady sounded calm as at then because there was no physical assault and I guess she was trying to calculate his movements at the same time think up a way out.
Lemmie deviate a little... While I was still in school I got attacked one night on my way from evening class around 8:30 At first I didn't suspect a thing about my attackers until I noticed them running towards me. Now here's my point; reflex action made me make a quick move to run but then I was "why would I be running when no one's chasing me, maybe they're in a haste"or so I thought so I stopped . It was until they assaulted me that I started screaming for help. My point is that you don't expect her to just scream when there was no reason to.

And like I said in my previous comment part of the video that favoured her was released.
And come to think of it if he wasn't going why didn't he park on a roadside to drop her off. He had to get to his house.Even if she was ranting it would have taken him nothing to switch off the ignition then wait for her to come down on her own
I still stand on my ground that there was a misunderstanding. You know we humans like to think for ourselves and think for others as well.

She'd be like "OK this man wants to drive me inside his lair right? well let me see how he will do it" *she takes the key
The guy on the other hand would be like "OK she wants to set me up with armed robbery or ritualists and it's like they're close that's why she's taking my key right? " *he struggles to get her outta the car at the same time get his key then maybe escape before they come

This coming in late coz i've been offline for a couple of days but here is what i suspect really happened:

I omitted to add that i think the guy is lying about some things too. I have compared both sides over and over in my mind and i'm almost certain this is what happened:

1. Lady calls taxi. Taxi driver responds.

2. Driver requests to be paid in cash. Lady declines. I believe the guy lied when he said she asked him to move without a destination. This seems implausible.

3. Lady calls another taxify.

4. Taxi man then asks her to get down. Lady refuses and says he should wait to her other taxify arrives. This is where things get heated.

5. Driver says if she doesn't get down he will move. She dares him. Lady may know someone at Taxify so she threatens him and feels she can leverage her clout.

This should be the Uche who is addressed at the beginning of her recording. Further evidenced by:

a. The speed with which Taxify suspended the drivers account and referred the matter to the police even before conducting a thorough internal investigation.
b. Curiously, even before the driver makes moves towards her, she says "you will hear tomorrow". Hear from whom? The police? well she didn't make a report to the police obviously, and it was the company that the driver heard from.


6. Driver threatens to drive off and lady dares him. Driver does drive off to his home.

7. At this point it is one of those "i will show you i am crazier than you" showdowns. Neither side can backdown.

8. Driver has the upper hand since he is driving the car, and goes off to his house. He is prepared to drive in and leave her there in order to win this exchange.

9. Lady sees this move and moves to thwart it by seizing his key. Possibly she has also done this to lure him into making a physical assault so that she can use her pepper spray.

10. The posturing degenerates into a physical engagement.

11. Lady will not be outdone. She knows she can spin this tale into something that sounds nasty in order to get the guy into more trouble. She is angry and feeling vengeful.

I put it to you that whatever happened in reality is at least 80% close to this.

makky555:
you can't say for sure that she knew... it was late and the place looked dark. Its only natural for someone (a lady) to think the worst in this situation and rape and kidnap was on her mind

But for her to go on social media to tarnish not just the guy's image but the company's. It's stupid and whatever come back she got was of her own making

Sure in a particular situation this may be the case but if you look at it,

1. Right from the start of the video, the lady was super calm even though the guy was taking her someplace against her will. This clearly indicates that she was not afraid of him. This is one of the most important clues.

2. Again, when the guy got to the house and got down, she did not attempt to flee at all. This is the second important clue that reinforces the fact that she was not afraid of him.

3. She then seized his car keys, inviting a physical struggle, which is the third clue that she was not afraid of him. For her to have been in the state of fear, she would have had to have believed her assailant was physically capable of harming her, and if she believed her assailant to be physically capable of harming her, then she would not have done anything such as grabbing his keys, to provoke a physical confrontation which would precipitate the harm she sought to avoid, unless that was her absolute last resort, but that clearly was not her last resort. She could simply have gotten down from the car when he parked. So again she was not afraid of him.

4. She was recording the whole thing on video and the guy would have been aware. For him to continue driving and ignoring her basically, despite her recording, it means he was not afraid that the video would incriminate him.

5. The video is cut and edited. When the video starts, the lady is saying "see Uche (or some other name) your driver is still driving me someplace o, i don't know where he is going". The highlighted word implies that she had been recording for some time. Why did she not show us that part? Could it be that was the part that contained the verbal exchanges between her and the driver which they both confirm took place but differ as to how it took place? This part of the video is what would really explain things but it has been cut out. Why?

Conclusion: The lady was not afraid of the driver, which means he probably never conducted himself in such a manner as to be threatening towards her. She has also edited the video evidence to portray only the parts that are consistent with her story, but even at that, the video evidence does not confirm what she alleges.

makky555:
I think this whole thing is just a misunderstanding from both parties.

The lady thinks he wanted to kidnap her

The guy sensed something fishy about her


Struggle ensued
Videos taken
Videos that suited her side of story were released.

To be frank the lady knew he wasn't trying to kidnap her. She is simply being manipulative.

oruma19:
so u r telling s that lady will fake a rape case against the taxi man? How much money does she intend to get as compensation? Make Una de reason before Una de tok na...Buhari sef, na wa

Who says it is all about money?

Seems you don't know women. See a very good example(watch from minute 4 to save time):


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-YF2nCrQP4

Before he became governor was he riding bicycle through town?

It would be such a funny sight to see a convoy of escorts tagging along with their sirens, after a man in his bicycle.

Her video and narration right now do not add up with her previous story.

From both stories it is clear there was a commercial dispute, of which nature we still do not know, but where does the rape and abduction come in? Clearly he only laid hands on her to get his keys back so how does the rape allegation line-up?

If she didn't want to be driven into the compound she could have easily gotten down when the man himself got down from the car. A woman who genuinely fears rape at that point would not be so calm, neither would a potential rapist leave his victim in the car, unbound and casually stroll out supposedly to open his gate in order to drive her in against her will.

Come on.

Maybe when we start punishing women for false rape allegations, we will stop hearing all these kinds of stories.

I simply cannot understand why we can spend billions on equipment but we can't study the equipment and replicate it or even enhance it. Why are black people like this?

Wearing a suit is not compulsory in the sense that no one is going to chuck you out of the premises just because you didn't wear a suit. But it is common sense to appreciate that:

1. You are trying to make a good first impression
2. Other people are trying to make a better first impression than you are
3. Nigerian's tend to appreciate things like wearing a suit to your interview
4. If the culture of the establishment includes thee wearing of suits, you better wear one!

But it wasn't only the mom who ignored the child, the teacher also did for a significant period of time from class 1 till tea break.

I also wonder how a child old enough to read and write could not express herself and say something is biting me?

And finally back to the mother. How can one reasonably think a child that young would be using "leg pains" as an excuse not to go to school, to the extent of keeping up with the leg pain story even after arriving at school? Shows us something about the mother herself. Perhaps she practices such trickery.

Finally the part i really don't get is how a black scorpion can fit in the same shoe with a child's foot and the shoe won't look like something is wrong.

Addendum: waiting for the child's mother to get there before commencing treatment is plainly ill-advised. If the school had trained medical personnel at hand, they should have commenced treatment immediately!
