When you go around pushing the agenda of a government that has failed its people and joining them to push the propaganda that all is well and people are not hungry, you think God is happy?

God is angry with the wicked every day.

Health › Re: Emmanuel Emenike’s Hospital Attacked Days After Criticising Imo Government by stagger: 7:41am On Oct 22
He is not wise.

He should have found out what happened to Turkey's most decorated player Hakan Sukur, who is now an Uber driver in the US after he and his family barely escaped with their lives. His crime? Opposing the Turkish president. All his assets and everything he earned from a decorated career in football is all gone...seized by the state.

Now he is in exile in the US. Even Egyptian player Mohamed Aboutrika, star of the AFCON winning squads of 2006, 2008 and 2010, and who was accused of being a member of the muslim brotherhood cannot go back to Egypt today.

It is a dangerous thing to oppose a government if you have a lot of stake in the game, especially assets on ground that can be reached.

Yes, I remember that incident. A magazine did a full story on this with the caption: "Who Wants Alozie Ogugbuaja Dead?"

That pepper soup comment really caused him plenty of grief.
Business › Re: Opay Loan Losses: $113m Written Off, But Did Nigerians Refuse To Pay? by stagger: 10:11pm On Oct 19
The interest rates charged by Opay are beyond what the law allows. The law allows for 1% extra charge monthly. These apps apply 1% daily, which is illegal.

As a rule, any agreement that contravenes the laws of the land cannot be enforced by any court. It is that simple.
Events › Re: how I got embarrassed coincidentally this Sunday.. by stagger: 2:01pm On Oct 19
KiNg0G:
Is it just me that feels awkward honouring invites to birthdays, wedding, child dedications when I am in my death row phase.. this doesn't mean I can't transport myself to the venue but going there knowing I can't be of help any further, like gifting, spraying it always makes me feel uncomfortable and panicked and I rather just stay home. Something just happened this evening leaving me so embarrassed and I feel for him too.

A friend took me unaware while I went to visit him that a friend of his doing a birthday celebration, it was getting dark already I protest about going to my house but you know guys, he wanted me to accompany him by fire by force to the venue. I knew how Sunday lifestyle was there and wasn't really comfortable but I had to succumbed, we got there place was booming, DJ playing music it's was epic gathering with guys and ladies all around the table drinks and all. Me just jejely mind myself took a bottle water, sat on my own pressing phone... All of a sudden a guy from no where with powder all on is body came to where I was and stood still with his hands up like a statue.

I know this drill, all my mind which kind thing be this, which kind embarrassment this guy want do to me so. Why today of all day? He left all other guys and girls' around chopping barbecue, me when just dey with my bottle water dey observe time na you choose to embarrass like this... just because I fresh abi handsome and stand out I don't know..

I boned over 5mins this guy was still standing like a statue saluting, all eyes on us on our table... people on the table started looking.. people on other tables looking. Me kukuma just continue dey press phone..I nor get one Naira for pocket to give him.
This went on for close to 8min, if only you know how I felt with all eyes on me. Not untill someone else tapped him, which I don't know if that's how they do it... still he was standing still waiting for me to activate..when it nor dey. I can't take from my friend all eyes on us.

Imagine someone could be on is own going through a lot and coincidentally embarrassment go come meet am. If I had gone home I nor go experience this thing today.
What hurts me most is when I have i give alot but seeing this happen to me with not even 1naira to save my aura.
This is an experience I would never forget in my life..oh God
Na you get time to dey bother yourself. If you can have it at the back of your mind that all those people looking will not remember you in 2 days, and will surely not remember you in 2 years, you will have peace of mind.
Travel › Re: Video Of A Large Truck Going Past A Broken Down Minibus On The Niger Bridge. by stagger: 8:34am On Oct 18
1Alex:
There was never traffic problem on the bridge but now, it will start. There is actually no need for the median.
No, there would have been no need but Nigerian drivers are highly irresponsible. When there were repairs being done on one of the bridges along the Uke axis of the Abuja-Keffi road, drivers had to use one lane getting to the army checkpoint. Yet a certain fool decided he could not stay on his own lane and was attempting to overtake a long stretch of vehicles, thereby stalling traffic on the oncoming line on the single lane that was open. He was even being supported by some drivers.

When people decide to behave like animals, they deserve to be treated like animals.

I don't think this is the best way to handle the issue.

Arise News hasn't heard from Tony and they've concluded the allegations are true by disengaging him, because they have not heard from him after 10 days.

Just 10 days??
My academic credentials are at my beck and call anytime, anyday. You do not need 10 days to prove your qualifications.
Crime › Re: Indian National Beats 2 Nigerian Truck Drivers In Lagos With Thugs (Video) by stagger: 1:30pm On Oct 13
Those guys are security men attached to the company (fromt their uniforms).

The drivers were probably unauthorized to move the truck on the day and were being asked to surrender the keys and they started proving stubborn.

Some of these our people are very bad workers. They steal, they do all sorts.

Career › Re: Female Police Recruit Cries During Firearm Training (Photos, Video) by stagger: 7:00pm On Oct 08
I am sharing a clip I watched several years ago. It shows the Angolan UNITA rebels in 1976 doing a live fire training for recruits. Start from 1:13.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCTP7RX1Bd4

This is not a game. That woman police recruit will one day find herself in a life or death situation. Police work is not about sitting on a desk until you are so fat you cannot even wear trouser. It is not about standing on the road and extorting people. Enter the tactical units and see the kind of dangerous situations a police personnel can face.

Not to talk of soldiers.
Travel › Re: Most Unique Borders Around The World (Photos) by stagger: 4:47pm On Oct 07
Jakarta:
Nice pictures I must say, see the way Egypt and Palestine fence borders kokoroko, weytin una dey fear? 😆 😆
That fence was Egypt's construction. Palestinians used to use tunnels under the fence to smuggle essentials and arms, with Hamas collecting 30% tax. When Al-Sisi came to power in 2015, he acquired 24 aircraft from France and bombed out all the tunnels, then reinforced the fence with the third layer.

So no more crossing into Egypt from Palestine. They have the Israelis and the sea as their surrounding neighbours! What a predicament!

Dogalmighty17:
If we will tell ourselves the truth, a good number of the officers and civilians on that plane had no business being on it. Crew : 2 pilot, 4 tactical operators, 2 dropmasterss/observers. That plane was meant for 8 people. Why were 22 people on it? What business did the civilians on it have? They died for nothing!
My very thoughts. Even now, heavy equipment for search and rescue are not on ground. Nothing learnt from 1992.

The war against terrorism has suffered a huge set back. That airplane is one of Nigeria's foremost intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft with specially trained crew on board. Losing such a plane and this number of officers is very tragic.

This aircraft is the most important component of Nigeria's anti terrorism operations in the north east. Without this plane, our soldiers, fighter pilots and other officers involved in ground operations against terrorists in the north east will be fighting blind. This plane is what has made operations Lafiya Dole and Operation Hadin Kai the successes they have been. This plane is what helps us see the movement of terrorist elements, locate their logistics hub and spot their suppliers. This is a huge loss. It takes 2 to 3 years for the Italian company that makes them to deliver just one due to the backlog of orders they have. We bought 2 of these planes in 2009/2011. We only have one left now.

The locals who watched the plane descending, said they heard a huge explosion before the crash. Propeller driven planes aren't known to be prone to explosions but I'm sure a thorough investigation will unearth what actually happened on board.
Is it normal for a recce aircraft to carry so many passengers, including civilians? BTW there was bad weather over sections of the SW yesterday.
Crime › Re: Lagos Big Boy, Philip Tunde Arrested With Heavy Loads Of Cocaine (Video) by stagger: 8:22pm On Oct 05
These drug smugglers in Naija are not smart.

You are carrying 5 bags. Are you relocating? Nobody on a tourist or business visa travels with 5 bags. You will immediately be pulled over for questioning and secondary inspection. Once your stuff is swabbed and fed into the spectrophotometer, any indication of narcotics will warrant an xray of your bags, shoes, laptop and any liquids you are carrying. This could also lead to a full body search and scan. Of course sniffer dogs are very much in operation to sniff out any drug-laden bags in the carriage area.

There is no way to smuggle any amount of narcotics across any international airports these days. The technology to catch anyone is up to date. Only an olodo will attempt it.

Why will someone take such risks and end up getting sent to 10-20 years in prison for this? Why not learn a skill for one year, get mentorship for 1-2 years, then work hard and smart over the next 10-15 years: WON'T YOU MAKE IT IN LIFE? Clean money that adds no sorrow?

They were shambolic against the Oga Boys.. looked so ponderous and out of sorts.
