Foolish idiot. You have no magic wand but your drug criminal presidiot said that it was his turn to rule. So he didn't know that he had no magic wand before beating that his dry cocaine-damaged chest.

Assuming this is actually supposed to be a point, how are Tinubu's life decisions now supposed to be Cardoso's problem??

This is how you people elevate all sorts of non-entities. Why should anyone care what this one has to say? The likes of Reno, FFK, Daniel Bwala, people with no visible achievements in life are the ones dominating headlines. As for Reno I can tolerate him because he at least presents factual logical arguments.

I wonder if Sim has lawyers to advise him. I acted on approvals to do bad things? Even in the army where orders are practically laws, that is no excuse. Sim seems to have chosen the path of the stubborn fly that does not hear its mother as it dances its way into the grave.

Peter Obi of course has a point but why does this guy always rush to google to pick useless stats? Nigeria has more homeless people than India and China combined he says. Really??

China's homeless population is more than the population of the entire Nigeria.

Wetin soldiers sef find go there. After all they weren't on official assignment at that time.

Why will soldiers be interfering in civilian matter. Someone bought phone con spoil con dey call soldier. Soldier too con dress up wan go fight,base on say him be agbekoya. That is idleness and rascality.

Both parties are at fault. Soldiers too don dey collect like police. Na big see finish oo

Where did you read this your own version of the story?? It was the soldiers who ought the phone not that someone called them to intervene.

Tallesty1:
Maybe if the soldiers harassing people down East are were there is a serious bandit and bokoharam issue, where their service is actually needed the most, maybe the 40 wouldn't have died.


Use your sense

So in your small, narrow mind, the reason this attack happened is because Nigeria has packed all its soldiers to do checkpoint in the South East?? Not broader issues of military collusion and deliberate patterns of inaction in certain regions?

You are a shameless person.

NeckingNgulping:
There you go again. I think i have already answered your question. If their own family disbelieved them, I'm going to believe them because it's a fact.

If they come around telling me It was a mistake, the human body doesn't have atoms ( which i know is certainly unlikely) I'll get to learn their new discovery and trust them.

We are talking about people who have immensely impacted the world positively with technological breakthroughs and discoveries that even the blind can feel.

If the people of Israel don't believe, there's no way I'm going to believe. Them believing won't even necessitate that i should believe fyi.

Okay, we're getting somewhere. So, the people who brought Christianity to Africa, in the eyes of the natives, weren't they "people who have immensely impacted the world positively with technological breakthroughs and discoveries that even the blind can feel?"

Tallesty1:
Travel to South East first, then north and compare your experience before you can type this rubbish.

In south East with no banditory or bokoharm, there is a check point every ten steps you take, youths are searched and rough handled like criminals but is it the same in the north?

You need to experience south east before you can form opinion on this.

I have been to the East and stayed there for close to a year. What nonsense... Now it has turned to comparing how soldiers treat youths in the north vs south east. on a thread about how 40 plus people were killed, you've turned it into complaining about checkpoints in the South East! Do you see how insane your need to always make the conversation about yourselves is??

Tallesty1:
Another reason to deploy more soldiers to South East

When last were soldiers deployed in any non-routine rotation to the South East? When was the last time there was a major military incident involving the South East?

This is now bordering on narcissism. An incident occurs in the South South (Okuama), yet you will see people turning it into something about the South East. Now something has happened in Plateau, you've not even expressed any sympathy for the victims, you've jumped straight to a totally unreasonable comment bringing in the South East.

Are you not becoming mass attention seekers like this??

NeckingNgulping:
For sure, i believe in atoms and molecules. Though, I can't see atoms with my naked eyes, or even with the most powerful light, i can feel it because it's in my cells.

You can’t see the wind but you can be confident there is wind because of the effects it produces. Same with atoms. )Wind is made of air molecules which are made of atoms.

My body is made up of atoms, not the spirit you believe in.

There is no way you can feel atoms and molecules. You only know about them because someone taught you about them. Claiming you can feel them because your body is made up of them is a little ridiculous. You had absolutely no idea your body was made of atoms and molecules until you were told so. And if tomorrow they come back and tell you that oh we've made a mistake all along, and actually your body is made up of waves, not particles, you will equally believe them. That is because you are convinced by their explanation and not because you can feel molecular particles or waves.

Now the question is, that teacher who first introduced you to atoms and molecules if their own family disbelieved them, would that have been a proper basis for you to equally refuse to believe?

Dyfynezz12:
That man has been doing the job for years nd no body has come to help him so he can stop the stressful job

But once the girl was involved,boom!

Its not too late...why not reach out? Simps are not the worst of men. The worst of men are those who spend life as spectators. Always commenting on what others do but never themselves doing anything worthy of comment.

NeckingNgulping:
I'll accept because i can see and feel it, not some god that isn't palpable. If i can see and touch, I'll accept.

Here, I'm only concerned about fact. What i can feel or touch.

You can feel and touch gravity? How about atoms and molecues...since you cant see them let alone touch them, you must surely not believe in atoms and molecules?

NeckingNgulping:
1+1=2 is a fact because i can literally pick items and add them up to know the answer. I won't reject it. I will reject a god that only lives in your imaginations.

You needed someone to teach you 1+1 = 2 before you could understand and accept it as a fact. Isn't that so?

Okay replace 1 + 1 = 2 with the law of gravity. Someone needed to teach you right? Would you have rejected their teaching because their family disbelieved them?

Clearly, Anambra is doing something right. Well done to the brilliant young ones.

NeckingNgulping:
They have to believe because he is their god, not ours.

The bringers of christianity made Nigerian christians to believe he is the god of Israel, so they have to believe to convince us who don't believe.

I can't go to a place and bow to a king his people have chosen not to bow to.

So I say to you 1 + 1 = 2 but all my own family refuse to accept the answer. Will you equally reject it for that reason alone?

NeckingNgulping:
The person you qouted is being factual. The people of Israel should be in the position to recognize god as the christians here do. No matter how you twist it, you can't despute it.

Israel has to believe. You can't get around it. Carry Oyibo religion for head.

Why do they have to believe?

thesicilian:
Nigerians are massively supporting Israel because they believe it's the Christian thing to do. Meanwhile the Israeli do not even believe in Jesus Christ

Well not that I'm necessarily invested in this situation but I must point out to you that your submission here does not provide a valid criticism. You said Nigerians (Nigerian Christians) are massively supporting Israel because they believe it is the Christian thing to do. But doing the Christian thing is independent of whether or not Israelis believe in Jesus Christ so it doesn't matter that the Israelis don't believe. The Nigerian Christians who hold such beliefs believe they are pleasing God not pleasing Israel.

Observer23:
Hmmm. Don't weight the scales until you have heard both bells ring.

You noticed his initial statement 'I am not perfect either.' When people complain, they tend to focus more on the flaws and actions of others rather than their own.

You should hear from the wife first.

It is indeed important to hear from both sides, however, the wife obviously is not here. Additionally, unless the man was cheating or beat his wife, the below is completely inexcusable if true. There is nothing whatsoever that can justify this.

My wife prefers to sleep alone, despite me telling her we shd sleep together as a couple. if she is in the room and I come to the room she will immediately goes to the parlor, we rarely have body contact. The few times we have sex she never kisses even when i try, she puts her mouth away. Even in the car we can be on a drive for 1 hr, without mentioning a word to each other.

People are really patient.

Angelfrost:
If he's not bothered, then why bother to write and post this?!!

Abi you no get work?!!

Hmmm. You are bigger than this kind of comment. This is the transcript of what he said when he spoke to the BBC Hausa. Its in the write up. Obviously he was asked a question.

Teeklef:
Baba,he's from Akure ondo state.

He was born there doesn't mean he is from there. Do they bear Okoh in Akure?

PortHarcourtcit:
The ikwerre boy is doing well

He is not Ikwerre. He is Ika from Edo.

immortalcrown:
No exclusion in the statement. They mentioned replacement of widows and replacement of floor tiles. So, how does my comment misinterpret the statement? Read the full quote.

If the definition says "anything that is done to improve the beauty," do you need a special addendum to tell you that things not done to improve the beauty are excluded?

immortalcrown:
This is not clarified in the post.

Well I think it is when you read every part:

Renovation” means any act done to cause an improvement to a building’s beauty

This automatically excludes functional maintenance.

immortalcrown:
No plumbing maintenance without government approval? Broken tiles on a bathroom floor can't be replaced without government approval?

This one is too much abeg. Why not include replacement of electric bulbs?

Is this kind of renovation law is an enjoyment to you and your family? Keep drinking poison because it is served with your tribal cup.

Plumbing works that require major and significant changes to the structure of the building are different from routine plumbing maintenance.

illicit:
There are all tribes there

Dominated by no one

There are all tribes there but there are more south easterners than any other single tribe. Or if you prefer, there are more south easterners there than northerners. That's my observation.

Namaster:
"A viral video seen by our correspondent on X on Saturday showed a multitude of civilians overpowering some soldiers during a free-for-all fight at Banex."

Say what you want about the North, they know how to deal with soldiers and police. Soldiers thought they were in the South where a single soldier can OPPRESS an entire community.

Misbehave in the North and collect your customised VAWULENCE.

Banex is dominated by south easterners.

https://www.thecable.ng/lpdc-disbars-lawyer-in-olanipekun-ajumogobia-influence-peddling-saga/amp/

Is Adekunbi Ogunde, Wole Olanipekun?

Ogunde, a former partner in the law firm of Wole Olanipekun, immediate former chairman of the Body of Benchers, had, in June 2022, admitted to sending an email to SAIPEM Contracting Nigeria Ltd, soliciting a brief.

Smartcitizen:
Which Olanipekun?

This is a man who the Bar has accused of many corruption activities in the judiciary and has even sanctioned.

Nigeria will never get better.

QUOTE ME ANY DAY.

Can you highlight any source showing the Bar making an accusation against Wole Olanipekun? I'm very curious. Even sanctioned you say! Wow...let's see these sources!

Racoon:
They are subsiding hajj with a whooping #90B but removing fuel/electricity subsidies.They ain't cutting cost of governance, but are still padding budgets, engaging in spurious borrowings to steal and posting phantom IGR figures.

Meanwhile, inflation is on a galloping two-digits free falls. Clueless economic illiterates. “No nation ever grew more prosperous by taxing its citizens beyond their capacity to pay.” - former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher

Nigerians barely pay tax. All this complaining you people are doing is just hypocrisy.

Meanwhile I can show you where Peter Obi too said exactly the same thing. Everyone knows we need to collect more taxes but unfortunately people choose to play politics with it.

I don't see why we should pay attention to the thoughts of two random British journalists. But then Nigerians have totally lost it.

Two British journalists alleged that:

1. FGM is rife in Nigeria
2. That women's rights don't exist
3. That the country does not prosecute yahoo boys for ripping of westerners

And I can see Nigerians up above me co-signing for the purpose of scoring points. Don't you see they said nothing about the government but everything there is a direct accusation against the citizens??

Is it true that FGM is rife in Nigeria? Is it true that women's rights don't exist in Nigeria? Is it true that yahoo boys are allowed to scam westerners and go scot-free?? They even said they are never prosecuted.

Funnily enough King Charles was here in 2018 and Queen Elizabeth actually commissioned Millennium Park in the mid-2000s. So while these ones are using this visit as an excuse to bash Harry and Meghan, fellow Nigerians why do you join the world to make scorn of yourselves?

kenben:
What eventually happened to the 11 year old little girl that your mentor SENATOR YERIMA married a few years ago? I guess he got bored after she grew up... sadly ALL SENATORS FROM THE CORE NORTH supported the pedophile in his madness using religion and tradition as a cover. Who does that to an infant in 2024?

The answer to your question is right before your eyes.

Is that the truth the speaker of Niger Assembly is meant to tell according to you?

JAWBONE:
They were not consenting if marriage was the only option they were given and not what they chose.

The possibility of 100 girls all deciding to marry at the same time is debatable.

It seems the decision to marry was taken on behalf of them and they had no options than to play along.

Good, so you see we are back to your first goal post. And according to you, if I come to you now and say JAWBONE would you like to have this keke napep, and you say yes because that is all I offered, then you had no choice. Does that mean you didn't consent? Consent is not about being offered a multitude of choices. It is about not being under compulsion to choose even the solitary option before you. No was always an answer even if that meant having to fend for themselves. By the way the money for these marriages is not even coming from the State. According to the speaker, it was from a donation from an individual.

Secondly, these 100 girls are not the full set of girls who were considered. A list of 270 names was submitted and the speaker said these were ones chosen. So you don't even have the full picture but you are insisting because you have already concluded and now you want to make the evidence fit your conclusion. Just like I said of the minister, why can't you dig for facts from the other side?
