PoliteActivist:
I thought u were Mr. Know-it-all, out to change long-standing tradition

No sir, I know nothing, just wondering what's the logic of telling somebody that can't hear you or even do anything about his/her situation to rest in peace.

And obviously you have no clue too the reason you do what you do.

PoliteActivist:
Let's say a governor's dad dies and his underlings take out a full page ad with the dad's pic and the words "May his soul rest in peace". Who are they doing it for?

You tell me, I don't know

PoliteActivist:
How? It gives them exactly same thing as saying "may hos soul RIP". It is simply a greeting of respect not that it does anything for anybody

Who are you greeting? the dead?

PoliteActivist:
It is called tradition. Who does your condolence help, dead or alive?

It helps the living one. It helps them by giving them strength to bear or manage the loss.

No nonsense man. One of the few African military men that you would want to be carrying out coup over and over again. Another one is Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso.

If only somebody like Abacha could just be a people's person who has human feelings, he could have cleaned up Nigeria too with his no nonsense, kill anybody 'kill able" attitude.


On a different note, why do people keep writing RIP for a dead person? you even see some saying RIP sir
Your condolence should be directed towards the family the dead left behind, the man or woman is gone and can't hear you. condolence messages are meant for those of us still here (at least for now) reading the messages, not for the dead.

FFK Calls An Egyptian Woman "My Hatun" As They Shower Praises On Each Other (Photos)

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode and an Egyptian woman have attracted attention after showering praises on each other on Instagram, IgbereTV reports.

The Egyptian lady @Nesma_Galal, had earlier praised FFK saying:

In a more recent post, she shared a photo of FFK in which she described him as the greatest and kindest man in the world. She wrote:


https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdYcgQs2nl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Reacting to this, FFK called Nesma "My Hatun" which when translated means "my woman or my wife".

See the exchange below.

We know how it always ends...

But you can't blame all these beautiful women falling for FFK's charm
1. Fine boy
2. Orator (master "toaster"
3. Generous (the boy is nice)
4. Connections (frolicking with politicians, especially the ones that can throw money around)
5. who knows? maybe he is also good in the 'oza' room

Wetin come remain? one will now say all these women (mostly beauty without b****) should not fall?

Enjoy the preference you are getting from Nigeria government sir,..one day,we will have a government that will provide equal opportunity for citizens to decide their destiny

If you are waiting for that day, you have long time to wait

gaetano:
Joke is on them. You can't single out one tribe in Nigeria for economic sabotage. The nemesis will go round. Let them keep crying, we are all in this together.

You people with defeatist mentality are just pathetic.

Borders were closed worldwide because of COVID, Air borders has been opened in Nigeria and they are telling govt. to do same for land borders because it's affecting economic situation of the border communities, the next thing is that govt. shut down borders because of you.

So, Ghana that has opened it's air borders and still not opened the land also shut down their borders because of you and your tribe?

SpatialKing:
When the land borders were shut down they used it to mock the entire Igbo race saying Igbos can't survive without it

Looks like whipping up ethnic sentiment didn't allow you to read and comprehend. And where did you see anybody mock Igbo for government shutting down borders because of COVID? What they are saying is if air borders can be shut and reopened because of Covid, then the land borders should have been opened too.

Nobody is talking about importation of rice and frozen foods here which I guess you are erroneously referring to.

flyingpig:
If no be government patronage, bias, monopoly and connection, you think dangote for be billionaire in dollars?

Please don't mistake honesty with hate.

You forgot to mention Ote$, Atiku, Adenuga, Jim Ovia etc. Everybody knows how to build a successful business o especially if

1. Govt is selling dollar for you at 180 naira while it's being sold on the black market at 420 naira
2. You are being given tax holiday for 10 years
3. All your products has ready market (whether it's good or bad, govt. will purchase your product)
4. You have unlimited access to loan without interest (you might even default in paying most of the principal, nothing go happen)
5 With the immence capital you have built, you are now the one determining the people (or you practically handpick the person that will be) in power.
6. ....forever a billionaire

seuncyrus:
The way everyone is talking about this movie ehn, It's like I'm the only one that hasn't seen this movie.

Eazi is a lucky guy sha

Temi is also lucky. If you are close to Mr. Eazi you will see that apart from music, how intelligent and ambitious the guy is. Down to heart guy too. I'm sure these might be the things that captured Temi.

A typical example of from total nothing to something is also a kind of attraction to simple girls like Temi despite her father's billions

Give it to this guy, he is brilliant and he is an orator too.

The only thing I think he lacks is either wisdom or good advisers who will let him achieve his goal and the goal of every right thinking Nigeria that this contraption should be dismantled.

You need both carrot and the stick. The stick for the FG because no true independence is achieved on a round table (red eye is required to cure madness) and the carrot for the other tribes (at least the major ones) without whose support either directly or indirectly nothing can be achieved.

ikeyman00:
for how long will they continue to move goal post just because of #5000 paid to you.

before you op could not even accept there was a shooting in the first place

the same goes out to your governor and you believe we are all fools; hahhahha u are a joke WE are the largest freedom fighters IPOB in the surface you can imagine; they sit there running their mouth like igbo man is their problem when the truth is just that the igbo are completely different from a typical yoruba orientation .

The whole world could now see how devilish Tinubu is in the open; can you see how shaky he was that he could not even bare to watch action transpired in the open. Tinubu is a coward and a murder

Now coming back to Lagos governor; he has lied in more than three occasion and you believe we are fools; did you watch the CNN news interviewed him LIVE on air; CNN woman " did you say Nigeria army sent those soldiers Sanwo Olu yes CNN did you again say fg sent those soldiers Sanwo Olu yes

Therefore when you get to see people like MNK [/b]mad at the zoo called Nigeria and you failed to understand that then you are worse than animal .

If it was not the outside world watching the truth will never make it to the open hence the reason the yoruba molsem has been able to peddle lies all these year. We knew it will only take one interview from a white people then these evil deeds and murders will be all over the place

We have come and we must continue

I wanted to reply you like a rational being before, but when I saw the bolded in your comment, "Therefore when you get to see people like MNK mad at the zoo" [/b] I realized it's of no use. You are a slave to the person you mentioned there, the obvious reason why you are pathetically obsessed with the person you mentioned there and I know you and your master delight in nothing else but to see Lagos burn.

But thank God to your dissapointment, normalcy has been restored.

As for N5000 you said they paid me, well, the last time I got paid N6000 (which is the lowest pay I've ever earned) was during my NYSC roughly 23years ago. Now, if N5000 is your problem, don't worry, I can employ your whole family including the babies and be paying them double of that.

Throwback:
You mean the Governor of Lagos State is the C-in-C of the Nigerian Armed Forces?

Where is the evidence of the invitation?

A state governor can actually INVITE the military in case of anarchy, not DIRECT them as the C-I-C could have done.

The governor also does not have control over their rules of engagement.

Yeah Sanwoolu invited them down, but did he instruct them to kill? No, because he doesn't have the constitutional power to give them such instructions.

Omoluabi16:
They are confessing small small. Who is the C in C?

Has he said anything different from what he has been saying from the very first day? He said that very day that he did not know who gave the military order to be there at that time, but he will get to the root of the matter.

Nothing like confessing small small. Sanwolu has been very forthcoming right from the time the protest even started on a peaceful note.

You people should channel your energy and 'vex' to the C-I-C who was practically begged and threatened before he could even address the nation, not somebody that has been in the open with you all along

DominusPrime:
I get you now. Unfortunately our definition of normal is different. You are ok with these rogues collecting 30M a month plus all the other incentives as long as you and others can go about their normal activities without being disturbed. I am not. We need a chnage in this country. Why should fuel be so expensive? Why should health care be inaccessible to the poor while these thieves run abroad for treatment leaving our hospitals dilapidated? Why should education suffer? Why should 400 people share 128bn while over 200 million share 52bn in the name of budget? Why should power still be a challenge for both apc and pdp after over 30 years? How ca we still be suffering light when Ghana here enjoys close to 18 hours power supply? Why are our refineries not working up till now?

I have so many questions but as far as you can do your small business or go to work then that's what matters to you. I have no issues with that but don't ask me funny questions when I try to fight and sensitise people the way I have done. Peace!

You got it wrong sir. I am for the revolution as some of us have been for close to 15years. I was happy this eventually happened in my lifetime, but when it became clear that the ranks had been infiltrated by hoodlums and politicians who were afraid of where things was going, and some to get back at their political opponents, there was need for any rational and sensible revolutionist to take a step back and restrategize which many of us called for.

A few that don't even have the idea of neither the modus operandi of the revolution nor the end game thereof kept being used as pawns by the politicians through the hoodlums and looters until things got out of hand.

Statement has been made that the youth cannot be messed with anymore, take a step back and build on your gains while we wait for the next time to 'move' (which will always present itself)

The question I asked initially is not funny, just needs straight answer, if the governor has succeeded in calming frail nerves and restoring law and order and you are calling for his head, then, what should he have done? or rather what would you have done as a revolutionist? You will still order people out to 'move'?

Don't work hard sir, work smart!

DominusPrime:
Apology accepted. The brain has hemispheres. Consult Google. I still don't give a hoot about the gov. I'm happy the carnage has stopped and I am also sorry for those who have lost anyone or anything in anyway but with the way the gov is run nothing will change. Unfortunately you are only interested in the irrelevant thing the gov has to say. That's fine by me. I never attacked your comment. You came to mine. Even after explaining my position you still chose to be blind to the fact that I have said to you that I am against the destruction and looting. Learn to remove blind sentiments and reason when talking.

You sir are the one being sentimental and obsessed about individuals (except you are now reasoning better), you kept seeing Buhari, Tinubu, Apc and Pdp in your dreams while I just wanted things to be back to normal, let people that have something to do with their lives get back to it.

Thanks for the brain hemisphere thing by the way, I just checked it out.

DominusPrime:
I would have answered you sensibly but you are no longer talking with sense. All you are trying to do is to paint what I have said bad. Where on earth did I call the gov a mad man? I also mentioned that the looting should stop and it rightly has but as usual you have ignored those statements and cooked up lies that I called the gov mad just so that you can twist what I have said. All I said is I'm not interested in the gov cos he is a puppet and me calling him a puppet goes way beyond lekki.

When you can reason from both hemispheres of your brain without telling lies to suit your foolishness then come and talk to me.

Brain doesn't have hemisphere sir. Well, I responded to someone who said "this Sanwo olu must be mad", if that's not you, I apologize.

At the same time, you jumped on my comment without seeing what the person I responded to wrote before you started blabbing about Buhari, Lekki,Tinubu, apc,pdp etc as if I care. All I care about is dousing the rising tension which the governor has done. Stop the carnage and the massive loss Lagos state and individuals (including people I know personally) have incurred as a result of the madness of a few.

DominusPrime:
Same as you. I ignore the gov cos he is a puppet. You ignore Buahri cos you are his follower but all of a sudden I'm the one following the bandwagon.

Yes sir, I called you out because you are calling someone that has done a good job of restoring normalcy by apologizing to his people, a mad man. Since you and your people destroying Lagos properties are the only sane people, we then ask you to tell us what he should have done differently to achieve same purpose of restoring order except that is not what you want, you rather prefer the chaos and divisions that a speech like that of Buhari will bring which could be why you kept shouting Buhari as if it's Buhari I called you out on.

Again, your word is that Sanwoolu is a mad man for restoring peace back to Lagos state, it leaves one to wonder what you and your likes are getting from the whole escalation as a result of the recklessness of the military being controlled by some invisible hand to 'burn' Lagos. And they got willing tools in people like you.

DominusPrime:
All you have said applies to you. I don't give a damn about sanwo olu and what he can or can't do...

I thought as much, band wagon effect, just talking because others are talking.

DominusPrime:
You obviously have nothing tangible to say than to keep beating in circles. I said the looting and destruction should stop.

I also say it again...the gov has nothing to say cos he is just a puppet. Now answer the questions I raised above. Why didn't your Buhari talk about lekki? Who sent the soldiers to lekki? Answer me or just shut up. Stop making a fool of yourself trying to defend rubbish.

If you care to think deep you will see that I don't give a sh.it about the gov cos he is just a figure head controlled by Tinubu. I'm more interested in you apc stalwarts explaining to me the questions I have raised above

Sir, if you don't have the ability to reason properly I'm afraid I might not be of help to you. What is my concern with Buhari? who doesn't given a hoot whether you kill yourself or not. You are calling the person trying to douse a rising tension a mad man, now you that is probably not mad was asked to tell us what he should have done differently from the apologizing that he did, and making report of the activities of the soldiers at Lekki to the army authorities (since he doesn't have direct control over them).

Maybe you want the governor to carry gun and storm the army barracks for retaliation, maybe you can also mobilize the looters and arsonists to go and burn the barracks down because it looks to me you are quite unhappy that the governor is able to bring down the tension.

DominusPrime:
No. That should and has stopped completely. Now kindly explain what the soldiers were doing at lekki where they were peaceful but none showed up where hoodlums were looting and stealing. Also explain to me why Buhari didn't mention anything about lekki since you are so keen on defending a useless govt

You are asking me for explanation when the State governor who intends to calm tense situation down has apologized and said he has taken steps to take the complain to the highest authority of the military and that people should stop destroying properties, and you sir was asking if the governor is mad?

I think you should rather explain what you want him to do. or rather the hoodlums to do, continue the destruction of Lagos state? is that the plan?

gidgiddy:
IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has debunked the news making rounds that he ordered Yoruba assets to be attacked in Lagos. In the video below, Kanu said that mischievous people took a broadcast he made, selected some of his words, cut and paste them together, in other to give the impression that he ordered attacks on Yoruba assets. He said that the intention of the audio clip was to sow tribal discord into the ENDSARS movement so as to bring the uprising down by government agents. He also said that the broadcast he made is on YouTube, and anyone who takes time to listen to it will understand that the audio clip being being bandied about on social media was total nonsense designed to quote him out of context.

These northern politicians are the real master of the game. The only time there can be any restructure in Nigeria or a break up is only and only when the 'Ogas' from the north want it to happen. Look at how they are playing southern Nigeria like puns on chessboard.

The day East and West genuinely unite is the day Nigeria will be rescued from the task masters, unfortunately I don't see that happening anytime soon because they know how to catch southern Nigeria. Very simple, fan their ember of tribalism, whip up sentiment about who is better or worse than who. Also, hang placard of a thief on any of their leader that is likely to unite the people, demonize him and set his people against him, it has never failed them and its working again now.

For now, love him or hate him, Tinubu up until this tollgate propaganda was the uniting face of majority of Yoruba. They set him up, he and the gullible Yorubas fell for it.

Nnamdi Kanu, love him or hate him, commands more followership than any Igbo politician today. They know his bragging weakness, they are using that to pitch the west against him just because they noticed this protest gradually turning into revolution is playing perfectly well for IPOB agenda so they need to quickly demonize him by insinuating it's him and Igbos destroying properties in Lagos

Very unfortunate that the revolution we crave might never happen in the lifetime of this generation.

DominusPrime:
I laugh at those who believe what he has said. He is still a puppet in the hands of his masters. When will you people have sense and stop trusting any politician whether pdp or apc?

So, what should people do? continue burning banks, tv stations and shops including looting and destroying the livelihood of law abiding citizens?

openmine:
Where are those paid agents of the ruling party who said there was no death recorded?
Where are those educated illiterates who allowed themselves to be easily deceived by these heartless folks that are paid heavily to manipulate their head using tribalism as a tool?
Shey you guys believed that trash from those selfish goons that the army were only firing in the air!
Relax! Don't worry...this is just the beginning!

Those soldiers whatever they motives were committed an heinous crime for using blunt force on protesters without provocation.

But, a little bit of common sense will tell someone that even if it's just 1 soldier that aims his gun directly at about 1000 people crowded together, there is no way up a hundred people will not be dead. It sounds somehow that an adult will actually believe about 20 soldiers (according to the stories), aimed at a thousand plus people with the intention of killing them and they only got less than 10.

In my opinion, what likely happened is that the government (or some politicians as the case may be) needed to hijack the protest because it was gradually turning into a revolution which would not be in their favour. They brought soldiers to start firing in the air in the dark, everybody ran helter skelter not knowing what is what. A few people got caught by stray bullet and some injured through stampede. They already infilterated the protesters with hoodlums to take charge immediately after in the destruction of properties, looting, killing innocent people, etc and thereby discrediting the whole protest and bringing it to a premature end.

Makes sense? or have I been watching too many conspiracy movies?

TheGoodJoe:
Story story.


SanwoOlu tried to cover up and it casted. From no one died to two.

Well, whatever you say, but he is not stupid like some people to believe that trained soldiers will be shooting live ammunition directly into the midst of about 2000 people crowded together for almost 10mins and it's only 7 abi na 17 people they were able to kill according to the story you are being fed.

Amotolongbo:
At first, he said 0 life was lost
Later, he said 1 life was lost
Now, he just said 2 lives are lost.

Is Sanwo-Olu playing WHOT cards or which general market is he picking these numbers from?

No, He is not. It's just that unlike some people that just jump on bandwagon and start shouting massacare without any facts, he is rather getting his facts by doing diligent investigation.
1. He visited hospitals
2. reviewing cctv camera footages
3. calling on people with more evidence or name of anybody dead or missing to come forward

So far, he has got 2 people confirmed dead from the Lekki shooting, that doesn't mean the number cannot increase tomorrow if he has factual figures. If you know of any other one he has missed please point it out.

The soldiers, and whoever orchestrated that shooting that night definitely have hidden agenda beyond what we saw, and it played out fine in the wanton destruction of lives and properties that followed, not to mention the tactical killing off the momentum the revolution was already gathering.

Sanwolu is actually on the track of restoring normalcy by separating fact from fiction/propaganda/fake news to calm down the reasonable protesters who are just visibly angry based on what they were fed with. But as for the unreasonable hoodlums/thieves/rapists/arsonists and online 'follow follow people" that are being played by politicians, they are on their own.

Sebastine1994:
Please schools should stop celebrating birthdays in school, please, biko. I use God beg you.

I sent my child to school to learn and not to celebrate birthdays, I came back from work one day and saw this play station 4 in a carton, I asked them who own. they said my daughter classmates celebrated her birthday and shared these gift to them.

I quickly ask them to reparkage the gift and take it back to the school, before I return from work the next day.

MY REASON IS THIS: all fingers are not equal, when it is my daughter's birthday they would be expecting a gift of equal amount.

The parent may be rich and I am not, they give my child what I can't afford for her which is a recipe for greed. she should be contented with what I can afford,

These her young mind should be moulded early to adapt to reality.

These private schools are encouraging these evil act, it may affect the child tommorow.

please push to front page to expose the dangers of school birthday.

Well, You know the kind of school you sent your child to, so you shouldn't be suprised or alarmed such is happening. There are schools that all their long vacations must be spent on excursion outside the country. I guess those parents can afford it, and if your child is in such schools and you are trying to preach the morals of contentment there it may be effort in futility.

My advice, if that school is one that encourages "showing off gifts" for school birthdays I advice you take your child away from there to a more modest one especially the one you can afford. your preaching will be met with much resistance from other parents who believe pampering a child with gifts or birthday bashes is what shows that you love the child.
