He is lying. Utter rubbish. The only difference is that we in Nigeria abuse the horn.

Although there r certain places in the Uk that have signs to not use your horn like hospices and hospitals and schools etc. As well as wanting to overtake in most cases tho there is no reason for that on the express since anyone moving slowly could enter the middle lane and leave the left lane for formula one drivers.

I never realised what car horns were meant for until I went to university in England – Reno Omokri

A Nigerian human rights activist and lawyer, Bemigho Reno Omokri has revealed when he realised what car horns are meant for, WonderTV Media reports.

Posting on his Instagram, Reno disclosed that he never knew that car horns are meant for emergencies until he went to a university in England.
He said when he was in Nigeria, he thought a car horn was meant to make the car in front of the driver move faster or it was meant to call the gateman to open the gate.

Reno stated that, in Nigeria, people use car horns to greet.

How Do I Deal With This Level Of Disrespect From My Husband

Dear all

I and my husband are just 2years in marriage.

Every time we have issues concerning anything, he is always telling me to pack my things and leave his house or he will say things like you are off no importance to me and you bring me no value and stuff and stuff. But after a while he will apologize and say he doesn’t mean it.

Last month, what caused our fight was because my mum sent some food stuffs to us because she traveled and got them cheaply. He was angry because he felt that was disrespectful. And the argument degenerated to him telling me to leave his house,

i got tired, called his bluff and left the house but everyone advised me to go back and make it work., well except my dad. Mind you, this was the 5th time.

On my return, we talked about it(like we always do) and i thought it was genuine, and i said i was going to give it one more try.

Today, we had an argument because of baby food. I told hime to buy on his way back. I couldn’t go out because the whole road was terribly flooded .

But he didn't buy it, and that lead to an argument. And the next thing he told me was to fuc.k off and leave. Or he is leaving. As a matter of fact, he just left the house now 12:00am.

I am actually tired of it all. and right now, i don't think i have any love left for him or this marriage.
I think he is cheating on me and for some reason i am beginning to look outside and crave attention, love and respect from someone else.

I don't want my child to grow up seeing me treated like this but most importantly , i don't want her to think it is okay to accept being disrespected and under valued like this.

Married people is this one of the challenges in marriage or what?

Why cant we have an argument that doesn’t lead to leave my house, i dont need you, you bring me no value and all

Also we are very very comfortable, i work and he works too.

Emotionally, i am done.

Why will go up in the North? Cant they maintain the same tax collection the Federal Government is using right now?



Borno State, a top government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said no state in the North would want the enforcement of the judgment because it would make the prices of goods rise beyond the reach of the people.

He added, “The wisdom behind allowing the Federal Government to receive the taxes on behalf of the states at the point of entry through the then Federal Inland Revenue Agency was to normalise prices and distribute to all states through the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee after deducting 15 per cent.

Can you imagine? How many industries do you have in Plateau ? Why not enact good economic policies to attract manufacturing companies?


The Plateau State Commissioner for Information, Dan Manjang, told one of our correspondents on Friday that the Federal Government should continue to collect the VAT, arguing that states tend to benefit more if the FIRS is allowed to handle the collection.

Manjang said, “How many industries do we have in Plateau State? There are not many. So, the position of the Plateau State Government on VAT is that the Federal Government, through the FIRS, should continue to collect VAT on our behalf and thereafter remit the proceeds to us.

Please help me.

I've been having watery and frequent stool for over a month. I stool a minimum of three times a day and its always watery.

I have visited hospitals and done numerous tests but no improvement.

I have done Blood test, stool test, Covid-19 test and HIV test and all were negative.

I have used all sorts of antibiotics and anti-diarrheals as recommended by doctors and pharmacists; Azithromyin, Metronidazole, Ciprotab, lomotil, loperamide etc.

I am single but have a girlfriend. We have MouthAction and rarely use condom.

I remember that around the time this stooling started, I bought a rice at one Captain Cook eatery, the rice's taste was slightly changed. Also, I remember I bought a sandwich at another eatery (not on same day) that didn't taste too good.

Please help.

Crime › A Nigerian Internet Scammer Is Becoming An Action-movie Villain by sorepco(op): 1:11pm On Aug 10, 2021
I think its ironic that huspapi is going to be a bonafide celebrity while in prison! A feat he could attain as a free man...it might as well be irony and sarcasm.. me thinks




Alexander Onukwue


Over the past year, the story of Ramon Abbas, known in Nigeria as Hushpuppi, has raised attention to the prevalence of business email compromise (BEC) scams around the world.

He made millions of dollars by impersonating businesses, flaunting his wealth on Gucci-laden Instagram posts and Snaps, filled with motivational captions. Now that he has pleaded guilty to charges in a US court, people who make-believe for a legitimate living will play his life on the big screen.



A Bloomberg feature, written by Evan Ratliff that painted a picture of a boy frustrated by hardship in Nigeria who then built an empire on fraud, will be made into a movie by Will Packer productions and Nigerian entertainment company EbonyLife Media. The project does not yet have a title but it is expected to blend Catch Me If You Can with The Usual Suspects, according to Deadline.

It will be produced in partnership with Universal Pictures, with the potential to place a Nigerian story—albeit an unfortunate one—on global billboards.

A bet on a recovering movie market


Nigerian cinemas were affected by lockdowns last year. From a 2019 all-time high of ₦6.4 billion ($17.7 million at the time), total box office revenue slumped to ₦2.18 billion in 2020, worse than the N2.5 billion recorded in 2015.

EbonyLife owned by Mo Abudu—named by The Hollywood Reporter in 2017 as one of the “25 Most Powerful Women in Global Television”—is counting on the end of lockdowns in the country for a resurgence in cinema interest.

One argument for this is that Omo Ghetto, the current all-time top grossing Nollywood movie, premiered in the second half of 2020, after lockdowns were eased in Nigeria. Another indicator of growth in Nigerian cinema is that while revenues were down, 11 new cinemas opened in 2020 increasing the number of locations to 77 and seats to more than 28,000.

Splashy Nigerian dramas work for viewers

Abudu’s interest in the project is also likely buoyed by the impressive historical performance of splashy dramas like the very popular Wedding Party movies – number two and three on Nigeria’s all-time list.

Among her other projects, Abudu secured a deal with Netflix in 2020 to develop two original series based on two literary works, including a play by the Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka.

Working with Will Packer and Universal could make for another treat in Nigerian cinema’s collection of internationally-appealing films. Nigerian Prince, a 2018 movie which became the first movie to win the AT&T/Tribeca “Untold Stories” initiative, could provide some guidance for the producers.

If well made, the movie will show how the 38-year-old’s social media posts led the FBI to him. The theme could resonate with young Nigerians and Africans broadly who have taken to TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat as platforms where self-expression can be monetized. The film should also make for great escapist drama, for what better way is there to get one’s mind off the trying pandemic days than to watch the lifestyles of the scandalously rich, famous, and in this case – criminal.

But among other things, Hushpuppi, The Movie (if they call it that) could be a cautionary tale for people who base their inspiration for influence and financial independence on social media influencers.

Politics › Nigeria's Security Crises - Five Different Threats by sorepco(op): 8:23am On Jul 19, 2021
Na wa oh! With this level of insecurity how do we attract foreign direct investments?






Nigeria is faced with an unprecedented wave of different but overlapping security crises - from kidnapping to extremist insurgencies - almost every corner of the country has been hit by violence and crime.

Audu Bulama Bukarti, a senior analyst on Sahel security at the Tony Blair Institute, says the scale of the insecurity threatens the very fabric of Nigerian society: "With every attack, human lives are lost or permanently damaged and faith in democracy and the country is diminishing."

When President Muhammadu Buhari was elected in 2015, he promised to protect citizens from terrorists and criminals. But there are less than two years left of his final term in office and the country is more unstable than it's been in decades.

Some have linked the recent surge of insecurity to the staggering poverty across the country. Youth unemployment currently stands at 32.5% and the country is in the middle of one of the worst economic downturns in 27 years.



Here are Nigeria's five biggest security threats:

Jihadism



Despite claiming during his first year in office that Islamist militant group Boko Haram had been "technically" defeated, President Buhari now admits that his government is failing to stop the insurgency, which began in the north-east.

Indeed, Boko Haram is expanding into new areas and taking advantage of Nigeria's poverty and other security challenges to fuel its extremist ideologies. According to the UN, by the end of 2020, the group had killed almost 350,000 people and forced millions from their homes.

Boko Haram launches deadly raids, in some cases hoisting its flag and imposing extremist rule on local people. It levies taxes on farms and the sale of agricultural products. The once booming international fish market in the Chad Basin is now completely controlled by the group.


The challenge is made harder by Nigeria's ungoverned spaces - areas that are remote and largely ignored, where groups can torment rural communities without fear of reprisal.

In recent years, a splinter faction allied to the Islamic State group, called the Islamic State's West Africa Province, has surpassed Boko Haram in size and capacity. It now ranks among IS's most active affiliates in the region.

Both groups have so far resisted the government's military operations.



Clashes between herders and farmers


There have been violent disputes between nomadic animal herders and farmers in Nigeria for many years.

But disagreements over the use of land and water, as well as grazing routes, have been exacerbated by climate change and the spread of the Sahara Desert, as herders move further south looking for pasture. Thousands have been killed in clashes over limited resources.

Benue State, in the centre of the country, has recorded the deadliest attacks. Recently, seven people were killed when gunmen opened fire on a camp for those fleeing the conflict. Some have also blamed herders for kidnapping people and demanding a ransom.


The tension has led to some state governors banning grazing on open land, and thus creating friction with the central government.

In 2019, federal authorities launched a 10-year National Livestock Transformation Plan to curtail the movement of cattle and boost livestock production in an attempt to stop the conflict. But critics say a lack of political leadership, expertise and funding, plus delays are derailing the project.

Could ranches solve Nigeria's deadly herder-farmer conflict?

Banditry and kidnapping

One of the scariest threats for families in Nigeria is the frequent kidnapping of schoolchildren from their classrooms and boarding houses.

More than 1,000 students have been abducted from their schools since December 2020, many only released after thousands of dollars are paid as ransom.

Some of the kidnappers are commonly referred to as "bandits" in Nigeria. These criminals raid villages, kidnap civilians and burn down houses.

Attacks by bandits have forced thousands of people to flee their homes and seek shelter in other parts of the country.

The north-west is the epicentre of these attacks. In Zamfara state alone, over 3,000 people have been killed since 2012 and the attacks are still going on. Hundreds of schools were closed following abductions at schools in Zamfara and Niger state, where children as young as three years old were seized.

By every indication, Nigeria's lucrative kidnapping industry is thriving - expanding into previously safe areas - and seemingly beyond the control of the country's army. It poses a real threat to trade and education, as well as the country's farming communities.

More on Nigeria's kidnapping crisis:

Separatist insurgency



A separatist group called the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) has been clashing with Nigeria's security agencies. Ipob wants a group of states in the south-east, mainly made up of people from the Igbo ethnic group, to break away and form the independent nation of Biafra.



The group was founded in 2014 by Nnamdi Kanu, who was recently arrested and is set to face trial on terrorism and treason charges. His arrest has been a major blow to the movement.

The idea of Biafra is not new. In 1967, regional leaders declared an independent state, which led to a brutal civil war and the death of up to a million people.

Supporters of Nnamdi Kanu's movement have been accused of launching deadly attacks on government offices, prisons and the homes of politicians and community leaders.

President Buhari has vowed to crush Ipob. Last month he tweeted that "those misbehaving today" would be dealt with in "the language they will understand".

The post was removed by Twitter for violating its rules after Mr Buhari faced a backlash online. The incident led to the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.

ANALYSIS: What Kanu's arrest means for Ipob

Oil militants

IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP

image captionWell-armed militants staged numerous attacks on oil installations in the early 2000s

In the oil-producing south, security challenges are nothing new.

It is Nigeria's biggest foreign export earner, and militants in the Niger Delta have long agitated for a greater share of the profit. They argue the majority of the oil comes from their region and the environmental damage caused by its extraction has devastated communities and made it impossible for them to fish or farm.

For years, militants pressured the government by kidnapping oil workers and launching attacks on security personnel and oil infrastructure, like pipelines.

To address this, ex-president Umaru Musa Yar'Adua launched a presidential amnesty programme in 2009, which saw the formal end of the Niger Delta militants.

But armed cult groups still pose a security challenge in the region and industry officials have been warning that militancy is once again picking up.

Jovenel Moise assassination

media captionPolice paraded the suspects in front of the media along with weapons, ammunition and passports

Police in Haiti say they have arrested a doctor they believe is a key suspect in organising last week's assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

They say Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a 63-year-old Haitian national, flew into the country on a private jet in early June with "political motives".

Mr Moïse, 53, was killed at his residence on 7 July, by 28 foreign mercenaries, the police said earlier.

His wife was injured in the attack, and then flown to the US for treatment.





Martine Moïse later described the moment assassins "riddled" her husband with bullets after bursting into their home in the middle of the night.

She said the attack happened so quickly, her husband Jovenel was unable to "say a single word".

What we know about the killing so far

Change of mission

The arrest of Mr Sanon was announced at a police briefing late on Sunday in the capital Port-au-Prince.

"This is an individual who entered Haiti on a private plane with political objectives," said Haiti's police chief Leon Charles.

He said the initial plan had been to arrest President Moïse, but "the mission then changed". He did not elaborate.

"When we, the police, blocked the progress of these bandits after they committed their crime, the first person that one of the assailants called was Christian Emmanuel Sanon," said Mr Charles.

"He contacted two other people that we consider to be the masterminds of the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse." The police chief did not say who the other two people were.

American support

A delegation of senior US security and justice officials on Sunday arrived in Haiti to assess the security situation.

The team will also meet three Haitian politicians. each of whom is claiming to be the country's legitimate leader.

After the attack, Haiti's authorities asked the US and the UN to send troops to the country to protect key infrastructure.

President Joe Biden's administration initially rejected the request - but has now decided to have a closer look at the situation.

Mr Moïse had been president of Haiti, the poorest nation in the Americas, since 2017. His time in office was rocky as he faced accusations of corruption and there were widespread demonstrations in the capital and other cities earlier this year.

Parliamentary elections should have been held in October 2019 but disputes have delayed them, meaning Mr Moïse had been ruling by decree. He had planned to hold a referendum on the proposed constitutional changes this September.

In February this year, on the day the opposition wanted him to leave office, Mr Moïse said an attempt to kill him and overthrow the government had been foiled.

It is still unclear who organised last week's attack and with what motive. A number of questions remain unanswered, including how the alleged assassins were able to enter the property. Mr Moïse's bodyguards are due to be questioned later this week.

One prominent opposition figure has openly expressed scepticism over the current version of events. Former Haitian senator Steven Benoit told local station Magik9 radio on Friday it was "not Colombians who killed him", but did not provide evidence to back up his claims.

Haitian police have said the majority of the mercenaries was Colombian, while two were joint US nationals.

Who is in charge of Haiti?

The constitution says the National Assembly should choose another president. But disputes meant that elections scheduled for October 2019 did not take place - and Mr Moïse had been ruling by decree amid widespread protests.

Amendments to the constitution - not accepted by everyone - suggest the prime minister should take over.

But Haiti has both an interim prime minister, Claude Joseph, and a new appointee, Ariel Henry, who has yet to be sworn in.

Both are claiming to be in charge.

On Friday, a group of political parties signed a resolution proclaiming a new president - Joseph Lambert - with Mr Henry acting as his PM.

The situation is doing little to resolve the political and economic instability that has long plagued the nation.
