People would not be that many of those kekes and koropes were sufficient.

Then, more people should invest in Keke and korope buses in those axes. I am fairly certain that as the demand gap persists, entrepreneurs would fill the vacuum. They just need to be sure that the LASG would not reverse the ban on Bikes in those axes.

APC and Tinubu with abuse of power. E sure me die say if them leave them one on one, them no born the officer well. Fu*k APC agbadorians and PDP pigs

The way you guys bring partisan politics into everything is nauseous and leaves one with very little hope for this next generation of this country.

To the best of my knowledge and the details of this case in question, everything in this case happened in Akwa Ibom state and the state is governed by PDP, so how did APC and Tinubu get into the matter? Even PDP shouldn't be dragged into this tomfoolery that this correctional Service officer engaged in, because PDP didn't send him on this criminal joirney. The idiot should answer for his crimes of assault against the lawyer and the Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State should face disciplinary actions. Members of the bar can boycott her court until the needful is done.

I'm bereaved, this is my brother. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace bro. I prayed bro Oye and your two children be seen unhurt. I remember the last time I followed you home passing that same route, we talked about the poor road from irele to your town, and the lack of security in response to the harvoc this Fulani hersmen do cause on that raod. I really have a good time I must confess. Bro, I saw you on Thursday you speed the helll beside me, before I could call you, I don't know that will be the last time I will saw a glimpse of you. Bro, I'm heart broken what else can I say. I pray Jah to give mama and papa the strength and fortitude to bear the lost, my condolence to your family as a whole. "Wardropu" as me and my friends used to call you. I can't imagine I'm writing this. Sleep tight bro, thanks for the time you spent with us, we will forever cherish it. I wish you a save passage bro. Goodnight big bro.

May God give you and his other family members and friends the fortitude to bear the loss and may his soul rest in perfect peace.

This is another front page worthy topic.

I noticed this as an adult. I always assumed children towered over parents by 1 - 3 inches. In my family, dad is 5’6/5’7 and mom is 5’9. The children range from 5’5 (me) - 5’11 (my immediate younger brother). 4 other siblings fall into 5’ 7 - 5’8. My height made me self conscious — being the shortest — until I closely observed a family picture. We were all near matched in height. Nature did not make a mistake by not adhering to the all-children-should-be-taller assumption.

My cousins face the same situation. Their mom is 5’5 while their dad is the 6’2 unicorn from a 5’8 family. The 4 children are 5’3, 5’8, 5’7 and 6’1. None as tall as dad.

Nature is a funny and cruel bitch. All it cares for is birthing the next generation.

Your observations are very apt. Nature maintains a balance somewhat, all the times. The system is self correcting.

This Hundeyin seems not to be particularly intelligent. A website creator provided his or her contact details for the web sites he/ she created and registered and you are complaining. For people who have nothing to hide, that should be the standard and this should be encouraged.

If Hundeyin, Rinu or any other person mentioned by the website is defamed then they can take legal actions against the site owner or publisher. We tend to throw away the baby with the bath water.

Rather than calling this site owner fake, like Hundeyin is doing, I am persuaded that he/ she is real as evidenced by leaving his/her genuine contact details on the sites.

At this point, I believe we should be discussing the contents of the site and not these what-nots!

Is this Java or C++?

I was a bit confused on what section to post this topic in as the concept that underpins the whole write up is rooted in data analytics via regression algorithms. The mod of this section is at liberty to move it to any section considered more appropriate in the circumstance. Thanks.

This topic is inspired by LUAN1 and many other posters who sought to know the relationship between the height of parents and their children on a thread titled "why do Nigerian ladies love tall guys".

The mechanisms that regulate the height of children from same parents is undergirded by nature or biology but it can be explained statistically and it allows for predictive analytics.

Have you ever wondered why children of tall parents majorly end up being shorter than their tall parents? Well, it is simple to understand the rationale. If successive generations were to grow taller than their parents, then humans would grow too tall for their comfort such that some people's heads would touch the sky. Because of that risk, nature regulates the height of children such that their heights would cluster around the average of their parents' heights i.e. (mum's height + dad's height) / 2.

If mom's height is 6"2 and dad's height is 5"4 then the average of the parents' heights would be 5"9 and the childrens' height would be around that height with some plus or minus differences.

This phenomenon is explained, statistically by the concept of regression from the mean and data scientists and statisticians would be familiar with that phenomenon.

It is interesting that the concept of regression has its foundations in explaining why children of very tall parents are usually shorter than their tallest parents.

DiomaKitchen:
Pls desist from making nasty comments in public spaces. If you don't like the meal say so, no need to drag my husband into it.

Like a lot of posters already said, you didn't need to respond to that cyberbully wannabe. The truth is that most people who exhibit such behaviors are actually beneath the person that they are targeting in real life. The internet provides them with an alternative universe to switch roles in role playing models.

When you sell or betray your brother, nobody will trust you again.

Wike frustrated his brother Secondus out as PDP chairman, thinking a Northern party chairman will make him PDP presidential candidate. This is the result.

I may disagree with Wike's position on some issues but your narrative of Wike betraying Secondus is not true.

For the records, Wike was the one who masterminded the emergence of Secondus as the PDP party chairman.

Thereafter, Secondus drew closer to other party chieftains such as Atiku to the detriment of Wike's political fortunes and that strained his relationship with Wike. Consequently, Wike masterminded his removal.

For more jokes text OBI to 419

We've mapped out our plans. All you okoros causing menace everywhere would be decapitated when the time comes. If you see 2% vote from this region, thank your stars.

The part of your post in bold refers. I implore you to be mindful of your words. 'Decapitation' is too strong a word to use because of electoral differences. We are first human before any other thing. Though we may assume that these online exchanges are 'mere' banters and cruise; but they have a great deal of effect on the subconscious. God bless you.

Princebizzie:
Did Awolowo caused the civil war? No wonder such hatred for the entire Yoruba people by these idiots

Imagine such disgusting behaviour from people like that poster. Dim Ojukwu never even made such an allegation against Awolowo while they were both alive but the way these guys keep spreading hate-filled rumours, one wonders their true intentions.

The major presidential candidates like Tinubu, Obi and Atiku are bandying achievements all over the country at the moment. My own is that none of them should use the perilous situation we are in, right now, as an excuse for non-performance if they win o.

That is my own. I don't want to hear say na Buhari cause am. The job is as-is, you all know the state of the economy before aspiring to become the President of Nigeria. Please, if you know you can't fix the country don't bother.

Joe4real1988:
Bro, i'm only referring to the tribalistic ones but if the liberal ones decide to go tribal with their vote, no wahala. If the country remain as it is or continue to go down because of our choices fueled by sentiment, it's not gonno affect me alone, it will affect everybody cause no one is immune to hardship/suffering. Let's keep sentiment aside, we have given APC and PDP a chance and have seen the outcome, anything wrong in giving another party/a fresh blood a chance for just 4yrs and see the outcome? Just have this at the back of your mind, with tribalism and religion, Nigeria will never move forward.

Thanks for the revert. I think it would do us a world of good if we refrain from making sweeping statements about entire tribes. "Yorubas are these..", "Igbos are these...", "Hausa/ Fulanis are these..." are the kind of statements that we should avoid. Naturally, people, irrespective of their tribes, would have different political opinions and the best we can do, as enlightened people, is to sell our candidates to them in the most civil manner without threats. God bless you.

Joe4real1988:
If you Yorubas are not tribalist, then go for Obi, considering Tinubu's health. I will even be angry with the North if any of them think of voting that Old greedy over desperate Yoruba man. Mind u, u guys voted for Buhari coz of your selfish interest that's manifesting today. You Yorubas never see anything. Fucking tribalist

Statements like yours that tend to tar all Yorubas with the same brush is not only hurtful to Obi's chances.

First all, let me make it clear that I am from the south west so that we are not under any illusion. Nevertheless, I have been a detribalized Nigerian all my life.

However, when you people make fallacious statements like, "You guys voted for Buhari cos of your selfish interest..", it is important to correct that notion. In 2011, Jonathan won majority of votes in the SW and in 2015, the ratio of votes for APC and PDP would be something like 53% to 47% (with some margin of error). Even in PDP,the some critics of Buhari are Yorubas. Yet, according to you "all Yorubas have not seen anything yet".

It is all good because the liberal Yorubas are seeing and reading these things and will respond appropriately when the time comes.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
When an 83yr old Man claimed 70 to contest for president and his first daughter is 63.

Haba, how can Tinubu be 83 years old? Are you saying that he is IBB's or MKO's contemporary? Make una find better thing campaign against him, this one no gel.

sylvok:
What jurisdiction would have sentenced a murderer and a kidnapper for just 7 years if not for corruption and manipulation of the justice system for ethnic gains?

Certainly, corruption and nepotism is at play.

frog12:
it's a federal high court and it is MALAMI that started the case. what are you talking about? don't you live in nigeria?

That exactly is my point. If the crimes were committed by Wadume in Lagos State, the State Government would have taken the guy to court and he would be judged according to the laws of the state. I refer you to the the following cases: LASG vs Reverend King; LASG vs Evans. The issue of jurisdiction is very important. Thank you.

nony43:
This guy’s kind of kidnapping is the same as Evans. They kidnap and live with the people in the city. So how come Evans got life imprisonment and he got seven years?

It would appear that the judiciary in Lagos State is more active than the ones in other states and the Northern states essentially.

There are states laws that affect the sentences of kidnappers. In some states, I believe it is life imprisonment. If this guy had committed these crimes in Lagos State, the state (LASG) would have brought charges against him and he would never have escaped a life imprisonment.

I must mention that Ondo state too has sentenced some of these kidnappers recently on stringent terms and it is laudable. Kidnappers should never be given slap-on-the-wrist judgements.

Eriokanmi:
Na we com send buhari to you ba? Why do you love him so much if what you're saying is true hadjia? Haha!
You love buhari in 2015 so much that you're shouting sai baba uoandan naw. Have you fiegitten?. In as much as I agree that northerners have good minds, there are criminal elements especially among the fulanis whom they've brainwashed to kill innocent ones and occupy their lands cos its their conquest. I can't remember where we were told in history that uthman Dan fodiyo fought his jihad war to Yorubaland. He didn't get here and he met people up north when he came, the original owners of the land like nowadays zamfara, kano, Borno, etc.

Amotekun intercepted some of their weapons hidden inside beans and corn. I'm sure you watched the viral videos too. Whom where they bringing ak47 rifles to kill, goat? Who gave it to them? Who sent them to owo Church?

We need to be more vigilant than ever, even you people ma sef. 99% of the train kidnap victims are Muslims, hausa.musllims for that matter, kidnapped by fulanis. Who are their sponsors? You need to find out and attack them, not innocent yorubas who know nothing. We're only trying to protect our land and people. It's our duty to so so, even though the government of the daybhas failed us.

You can also vote atiku ok, we don't care. All these are a strategy to sideline tinubu. We warned the selfish man too not to pitch his tent close to buhari. Afenifere did, but he turned a deaf ear. We know more strategies will unfold as we approach 2023. That's why we are obidient ni ti wa

This your post makes an interesting read. At what point in time did you advise Tinubu not to pitch his tent with Buhari and what did you have against Buhari as a person? I would like to read your perspectives.

EMXTAN1:
Omoh! Regardless of the propaganda, Peter Obi I know... Who are you? Cos I'm sure this post here would be tilted... Peter Obi coughs, laughs, smiles or cries Pple will start digging... He is fighting for ASUU and its students but ofcourse blindness won't let a few see it so...

It is fair tackle to call out Obi if he reels out fake statistics. He should be sure of his numbers before reeling out statistics. If he does that, many of these attacks would fizzle out. It is insulting to assume that the majority of Nigerians have no intellectual wherewithal to fact check his claims.

Odidigboigbo:
Wole Shoyinka had a third class but those that finished with first class and second class in his set didn't achieve half of what he have achieved.

Your statement is so untrue. Soyinka never graduated with a third class. You may edit your post to reflect the truth if you made the statement in error.

Moferere:
Another Arthur Nzeribe.

I don't know why people from that side always do this type of thing

You can't lay all the blame on Arthur Nzeribe now, without mentioning Daniel Kanu. In short, does anybody know where that Daniel Kanu is?

BATified2023:
The guy can’t b 100% innocent as portrayed in this write up,let’s wait for d other side of d story

Is he d only one selling drinks in d state?
Y only him?

The last time we check any unknown gunmen caught suddenly turn to innocent hard working citizens

If the guy is not innocent as you posited it was the responsibility of the security agency that took him away to disclose his offence and his whereabouts to his family members.

Security agents do make mistakes like the one that Governor Akeredolu pointed out recently where the Army spokesman stated that a certain man who was among the kuje prison escapees was one of the terrorists who attacked the Owo church.

Vulturereloaded:
IPOB are also criminals and bandits.

In fairness, how many times have IPOB gone out of their geographical zones to commit crimes?

Fiscus105:
In 2015 you are one of many that were shouting sai Buhari, today you are one of many that are in the grave due to zero leadership of Buhari.

Today, Nigeria's economy almost collapse, some people are still calling for certain individual that their records show they amass public wealth to their private pockets and are not discpline enough in spending public money, some years to come, if their candidate make it tru, they too will be consumed by error they are making now.

The sweeping generalization in your post is insensitive. How did you arrive at your conclusion concerning the dead man? Was it that, Buhari won Katsina with 100%?

And assuming without conceding that the dead man voted for Buhari, are you saying that his death in the hands of terrorists is justified?

Where, exactly, has our humanity gone to?

Moferere:
It's too early to be mad.
Get a life

As in serious madness o. That guy needs to see a shrink soon. No time to hate or love any politician because most of them are the same.

obailala: seem like misplaced priority to me

Exactly what it is, especially when you consider that ASUU has been on strike for several months and the economy is in a mess to the extent that the FG borrows to pay salaries as revealed by the erstwhile acting Accountant General.

etrouble:
As for the vehicles, we gave being doing such senselessness for long. Obasanjo once spent billions on Ghana Owambe Party

There is a huge difference between what Obasanjo did. OBJ gave a loan to Ghanaian authorities while PMB outrightly donated for these vehicles to the Nigerien Authorities in a period that the Nigerian economy is facing a lot of challenges. It is really annoying.

Light78:
You guys should stop all these...

Just because he is supporting Tinubu and you are saying bad things about him.

That is not fair. He has the right to support whomever he wants.

It is very disheartening to see how people are being verbally mobbed for exercising their freedom to support candidates of their choice. We have a very long way to go. We should learn to exercise our right and allow others to exercise their own rights too.

Auskyd:
Which dean that is in charge of the running of the school with the knowledge of how tedious it is in terms of finance will tell you strike doesn't work?

Read my post again, this time, calmly. I never stated that the DSA said strike doesn't work. Rather I stated that I was the one who suggested to him that the many strikes undertaken by ASUU have not been effective. This response is only made to ensure that you do not quote me out of context.

As regards your other submissions, I am not here to debate with you who I know or do not know.

Just dey lie because you dey behind keyboard. Calm down sir Liesalot.

Kindly treat people you don't know personally with some respect. If you opine that a DSA is a spirit that cannot be known then that is fair enough and you are entitled to that opinion.

Thanks.

Sadly, I once shared with a friend who is a Dean of Student Affairs in one of the federal universities, that the constant strikes by ASUU do not help the students and our tertiary education.

Whilst it is within the rights of the lecturers to demand for more funding, they have not displayed enough accountability and probity in the way that they handle internally generated revenues.

Again, if FG must continue to subsidize tertiary education then there may be a need for students to sign bonds that will compel them to work in Nigeria for a certain number of years before migrating to other countries. It makes no sense when people get subsidized education and then bail out. It is like haemorrhaging.
