Influencer and disruptor. We know who is threatened by this. Dangote is extremely unethical in his business but i guess this is one of the only time Nigeria has to stand by him for the long term benefit.

Same business model all over Africa. Exploit the natural resources, take it abroad to refine and bring back the finished product at a very high cost. Every single natural resources owned by Africa follows this model. Did we think oil would be an exception? Their hands has always been involved in killing Nigeria's refining ability

He's most likely lying. Probably one of the APC's social media miscrants. Since the APC came to power by hook and crook, the only thing they've consistently done with all effort is to label Nigerians lazy, bad, cause of hardship, cause of inflation, cause of insecurity, cause of poverty etc

The hurried nature of the rulings are suspicious.

The allegations here are weighty. I doubt they'll be able to prove most of them.

Did they actually build infrastructures in the zone? If they did, then they have a lot of ground as that's very easy to prove.

Some of the other allegations are not that easy to prove beyond all reasonable doubts unless the judge is biased

JohnBullMySon:
They can be seized If they were not under active government use, which they were not. It is up to them to contest the order in French courts

Nigeria is part of the CREFAA UN convention. If you go into business with a foreign country and they use state power to defraud you, invoke the arbitration award in the existing legal agreement at the UN or go and get damage awards from your own country and have UN recognize it.
If they recognize it, you can use it to ask any UN signatory country legal system to order seizure of foreign assets of that country within their jurisdiction as long as they are not under active diplomatic occupation (most UN countries signed the agreement).

Is FG and Osun the same entity?

phantomxx:
But to be honest, for how long are we going to whine about this? Truth is, the sub national governments have not done enough to attract investments to their regions to shore up revenue.
Lagos did not stop Imo or Bayelsa from building a power plant to supply power to at least half their local govt areas making it attractive for industrial bases.

Make your states conducive and compete! Convince an investor why he should come to Abia and not lagos... is it better power supply? Better security? Better incentives? These are the issues... enough of the blame games.

Ondo state has cocoa... why is ondo not exporting cocoa at 10,000 dollars a tonne or convincing chocolate and beverage companies to setup shop in ondo to develop the value chain?? Do you know how much the chocolate sweet industry is worth? Just chocolate! We've not talked about chocolate drinks.

Why are Kogi and Nasarawa not convincing companies to setup shop in their states to develop their lithium reserves... they should be exporting lithium batteries for use in a myriad of things from EVs to solar batteries... such states should even be giving to the federal govt and not collecting.

Neither did Lagos do anything. The other states you mention usually do more than Lagos

There's absolutely no Lagos feat

NSNO:
This war has demystified Russia. Russia is now running to North Korea for weapons 😂 😂 and some people will be comparing Russia to the US. The only country that can stand up to the US is China 🇨🇳 not Russia. The head of British intelligence once said that the Chinese MSS is their greatest priority now.

Russia, a has-been.

Ammunition not weapons. And they're buying it not expecting it as a handout. If you know anything about wars, you should know that no country in the world is self sufficient in terms of Ammunition. Russia and China are1000 times more efficient in ammunition production than any western country. Russia expends millions of ammunition every week.

Soon he'll be fined for fraudulent prophecies and miracles like his counterparts. Good thing is, UK is not Nigeria and he's black. They'll investigate him and fine him to get their own cut of the fraud

The headlines from Vanguard and Punch sounds like a brown envelop journalism.

The protest held for complete 10 days. Didn't hold for 10 days in all locations but held for 10 days in some locations and less in others - which makes it a success in that regard.

However, the true measurement of the success is in how the government reacts to the demands

There was oil theft before APC came to power but on APC coming to power, quadrupled it. States actors were not fully involved in stealing oil until coming of APC. That's one of the biggest woes facing Nigeria.

Embezzling money is more easily detectable than using state apparatus to simply steal it and it doesn't count as Nigerian money

Quest7777:
Let me ask you. Many Churchs pray over Olive Oil and the Pastor claims it becomes Anointing Oil with miraculous powers.

If you choose to believe that claim, has the Pastor committed a crime under the Law in Nigeria?

It becomes a problem when you start selling it.

Even without selling it, it can be classified as an alternative medicine and there are laws guiding the distribution of alternative medicines.


When you're selling it, that will be a bigger motivation to get people speaking against you but generally, it's detrimental to the society .


Selling fake hopes and preventing people from seeking medical care until when it's too late.

Quest7777:
Lets get this clear:

-Prophet Fufeyin manufactures soap,
-sends the soap to NAFDAC for certification,
-NAFDAC certifies the soap based on the listed ingredients, that it is safe for use by Nigerians,
-Fufeyin prays over the soap and presumably impacts healing powers into the soap,
-Fufeyin puts up the soap for sale,
-Nigerians who believe Fufeyin has impacted healing powers into the soap buy the soap.

-VDM calls out Fufeyin as a Scammer
-Fufeyin sues him to court for spoiling business for him, restraining him from further speaking against the miracle soap.

My opinion:
*Nafdac only certified the soap as ordinary soap not as miracle soap so Nafdac has nothing to answer

*Court can not convict Fufeyin as a Scammer. I have never seen any pastor jailed on account of failed religious belief or prophecy.
Also it will mean all these pastors who sell Olive Oil as Anointing Oil would have been convicted.

*VDM should be careful. He stands the risk of being convicted for Defamation, cyberbullying or some other criminal charges.

The law doesn't work in Nigeria but there are several acts and sections that can be used to comvict him. The UK and the US has used similar laws to fine religious organisations huge amounts of money

timilehin007:
Find this one really hard to believe though..she must probably made this up for content sake ....

They're selling it. I've witnessed it. However, it's not as easy as it sounds. You take injections for 11 days. After the process, you get sick for a few days. Someone I know donated and they gave her 200k stipend. But she only got 170k

Nigeria could be wealthy if well managed but we're not because you guys loot everything and create ways wasteful policies because of personal benefits

Medipharm:
You are not a man of God. Healings comes with powers, you don't posses the power cos you were not called to be pastor.

Even though I don't support pastors selling all these

That's not what Jeremiah said. The water is what works and not the user.

Greedy monarchs. SEDC will mean more money to share. Leadership in Nigeria os bastardized from traditional to political. What a shame

The problem could be the questions or people can artificially be failed for easy manipulation

Kylekent59:
You filmed him and brought it to social media for what?

For us to mock him or what?

Why can't you take the video to his superiors rather than bring it on social media?

How will his kids feel if they see this? His family members? If the man commits suicide because of this. Who killed him?


Many individuals are immature. He may believe he was doing the right thing by posting it on social media, but he was not.

Bringing the video to his superiors and being confronted with it demonstrates maturity.

Putting the footage on social media is childish.

If he sends it to his superior, nothing will come out of it. Social media will push them to take action like they already did

A 🇺🇸 U.S Army helicopter crashed at a military base in Alabama on Wednesday afternoon killed one person and injured another, military officials said.

An AH-64 Apache helicopter crashed during routine flight training on Fort Novosel Army base, about 94 miles (151 kilometers) south of Montgomery, according to a statement from the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Novosel.

The crash killed the flight instructor, while a US. Army student pilot was airlifted to a hospital for additional evaluation, according to the statement.

Dale County Coroner John Cawley identified the deceased instructor pilot as Daniel Munger, 46, who was a contractor and retired from the Army.

Military authorities did not immediately provide any information about the circumstances of the crash. The statement said the accident is under investigation.

“Our primary concern is the welfare and health of the student pilot and care and concern for the family of the deceased,” Major Gen. Clair A. Gill, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Novosel commanding general, said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.

The AH-64 Apache is a two-crewmember aircraft.

Please, are you keeping records of the numbers of aircraft crashes by American military in the last two years?

madone:
The attitude of the northern politicians just made me start supporting Tinubu. If he can handle them then he is the president. The northern politicians can not keep dictating how Nigerian leadership should be.

He's not handling northern politicians - they're not hungry. He's handling you. Handling your poor parents in the village. When una go wise for this naija?

Sonnobax15:

The Nigerian army is more friendly to the Nigerian people than the police is to them.....

Stop capping. Nigeria military always look for a way to use police to shine. They're doing that just to spite the police. Meet the soldiers when they're on their own and they're the worst humans. Pass through their barracks, their checkpoint, drive around their vehicle, they're intimidate you for just existing

They're on a suicide mission. They've made their statement. If they don't leave immediately, they'll all will be sacrificed - no two ways about that

1 kobo I no dey give. If you get genuine problems we're dating or not I can help you but you see this send me this, take me to lunch, buy phone, buy that no be me.

lagonovo:
Tinubu just got back to power last year, yet a lot of noise on his name

He just got back to power and few days into power, he doubled the suffering of Nigerians. Now the suffering has tripled

Goodnewsforlife:
op we will touch obi house too?

Remind me when Obi left power. Although they're all part of the problem in different degrees, he's been out of power for almost a decade

Remman:
Go to a black society, then go to a white society. Check their infrastructure, military, technology, way of thinking, creativity, scientific research, mode of life, where they live, health facilities and how they take medical checkup/upkeep serious, judiciary, central bank, how they manage their government compared to blacks, leadership structure (how the one who has obviously failed and rejected by the majority of the people either steps aside or resigns), etc. then you won't blame the people who think they're superior.

I Doubt you've ever lived abroad

Sadly, The Numbers Are Not Low.

Most Politicians, Police And Social Elites You See Parading Themselves As Musicians Are Cultists.

We're talking about those that made their wealth and power as a result of being cultists.

oz4real83:
how I wish so much that this your comment was 💯% true, unfortunately, it isn't. If you know the number of cultists in political positions in Nigeria today, if you know the number of cultists who have become wealthy and powerful because of Nigerian politicians, you will cry 😭😭. People like Kabaka, Oluomo and many others are clear example of people making it through cultism

The numbers are very low. Among thousands of cultists in one community, only a few get close enough to politicians and he'll be the middle man between politicians and cultists. He reaps the benefits and give crumbs to his boys

Please someone kindly tell me what section of the constitution makes flying foreign flag a treason. We learn everyday

Coolestguy2023:
PBAT should just declare a state of emergency in Kano and Kaduna make soldiers deal with all those illiterates on the street. He should man up and should not give a f about the northerners.
Since it's likely he will not get a second term, he should disintegrate the country make everyone go answer him papa name.
This protest has showns the level of hypocrisy of the northerners and the supposed ally they are is fake and unreliable

There was state of emergency/Curfew when the mob dethroned the Bengali leader. State of emergency is only effective when the mob are not serious.


No state force in the world can overcome a mob. When the mob are ready, the leaders crumble. Maybe Nigeria has not gotten to that but a little mistake can trigger a full-scale revolution
