What nonsense are you talking about?

You can read, can't you?

You did see where he stated that EFCC probably being used by GT Bank abused court process by declaring him wanted just to ratchet up needless sensationalism.

Can we at least do without the insult and engage in a civil discussion.

TheCabal:
This is my problem with Innoson. You have defense contracts with federal government and you spend your time writing epistles.

Get into your car and drive to Abuja. If you cannot see the president, you can see the vice president.

If anyone can reach Innoson, please tell me he is acting like a politician not a businessman.

Lubbish.

Since this case is in court, I have refrained from talking about it. However, I just want to note that since the beginning of this issue Innoson has been issuing press statements and the likes. On the other hand GTB has rarely made such statements rather they have kept faith with the courts. I believe that Innoson should avail himself the services of the best lawyers and thrash the issue out in the court and stop introducing sentiments.

Everything Na double double; Na double double.

When will Africans stop this practice that shows them to the world as uncivilized apes?

Why in this 21st century are suspects still being beaten up and stripped? What sort neatly behaviour is this?

Has anyone ever seen or heard that the white man stripped anyone naked and beat them?

The black race needs salvation, we are too uncivilized

Since birds have learnt to fly without perching hunters have learnt to shoot without aiming.

Jungle justice is a declaration of vote of no confidence on our law enforcement agents. It is sad though.

DonPiiko:
She was a retired staff of NNPC that went into business, she has also been married 3 times to very rich men. Her family is wealthy, she's a princess.

But with a pedigree as rich as this, why wouldn't she just pay the debt of 20 billion Naira and save herself this unnecessary embarrassment.

SalamRushdie:
The above quoted gave the police away as having ulterior motive in this case.. you have not concluded investigation but you have already labelled them political assassins masquerading as cultists

IG when will those jihadist terrorist masquerading as Herdmens be paraded in force headquarters too

We should be temperate in passing judgements on our security agencies especially when investigation of crime is involved.

We all complain about lack of security in the country and we all, justifiably, blame it on the inefficiency of the security operatives as well as our poor security architecture. However, we the citizens of this same country are always quick to preempt and infact prejudice the course of actions of the security operatives whenever they have run ins with some big wigs in the country.

In the interest of our country and our collective security we should always allow the investigators to exhaust their leads and go through prosecutorial processes. Thank God, the investigator has to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt in a law court to achieve conviction.

Remember, how Farouk Lawan cried to high heaven about being blackmailed only for us to see a CCTV footage of how he stuffed dollars in his cap.

A Yahoo boy that doesn't go to club is that a Yahoo boy?



On the real though lots of Nigerians give the excuse of no conducive work.envirojment, no work, bla bla bla.
There are lots of Nigerian born Yahoo boys in UK, USA, Canada etc. Is this because of the same excuses?

Of course not.

The fact is the average Nigerian is a confused and perhaps inherently corrupt being.

Societies do not fall from the sky.

The culture in a society is the sum total of the value system within.

The youth have adopted all negative vices from gangs (cults) to drug abuse to fraud.

The smart ones get out of the system. Unfortunately, their absence means the more developed hoodlums run the shows and the cycle continues.

Great! Nice logic. You have reflected my thoughts and I have nothing else to add. Thanks.

Ameeboh:
I don't think what Noble did is right. Man must survive in this country. So if they didn't do you anything, let them be.

Stop acting like a patriotic citizen.

Try snitching on government officials who have stolen millions already.

My dear sister, unfortunately things don't work that way. The crooks with their crooked ways will eventually find their way(s) into government and then they will end up messing us all up.

Check some people in government today and their antecedents and you may understand what I'm talking about. Cheers!

saaron:
Study govts world over and you will discover that the major characteristics of despotic dictatorship regimes is a weak parliament. Nigerian Senate have never been treated with utter disdain and ridicule by the executive to the point that common executive employees will joyfully disobey the Senate at will like buhari's despotic regime. This is unpresedented in the history of Nigeria since independence in 1960!
Buhari's govt is nothing but an Authoritarian Dictatorship govt with a mission to weaken Nigerian Parliament. Dictatorship regimes have no tolerance for Parliament.
Make no mistake IGP's disobedience to Nigerian Senate has presidential blessings. Nigeria under buhari's APC destructive govt is now a LAWLESS country with no regard to the RULE OF LAW. It is only a matter of time before Nigeria descends into Anarchy.
A worst Govt begates a Worst Parliament.

The Nigerian Lawmakers have always been selfish. Even under GEJ, several ministers and other appointees complained of how the lawmakers were preventing them from performing their functions because of their frivolous invitations.

Even if we don't like the government do not let us distort the roles of all key players.

TheGoodJoe:

Very brilliant and nice post.

Thanks bro. We shouldn't just condemn everything. We should applaud when necessary and chastise when needed.

gerona:
Whilst the rest of the world is stimulating internal growth and boosting the manufacturing sector to trigger a sustainable development of her economy, the Nigerian government is busy with currency swap deal that will further make the Nigerian industries less competitive. When a country is ruled by selfish and visionless leaders! I weep for my motherland.
America recording 4% unemployment rate, Nigeria government celebrating currency swap to further impoverish her citizens whilst empowering the Chinese economy. I need another citizenship please.

But entrepreneurs can seize the opportunity to import capital goods like machineries and other stuffs to boost local production.

vedaxcool:
when I told people Dino worsened his case they thought it was a joke now he has 2 cases to answer for.

That is what happens to people who do not think through their actions.

Even the Senate President's wife answered the invitation of the EFCC, Senator Sheu Sanni answered his own invitation for questioning by the police; why should Dino's case be different?

Now he has 2 cases to answer.

Gradually, I hope we will get to the point where our Judicial system will be completely sanitized. The court or judiciary should be the hope of the common man and not the fortress of wealthy criminals. Justice should not be for the highest bidder. All silks and ministers in the temple of justice are hereby served.

This is a landmark judgement.

Mods should please move this to headquarters to teach our people that the mill of justice may grind slowly but surely it grinds.

The Lagos State High Court in Ikeja has convicted a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr. Joseph Nwobike, of 12 counts bordering of perversion of the course of justice.

Justice Raliat Adebiyi, who pronounced the verdict on Monday morning, said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission proved beyond reasonable doubts that the SAN was in constant communication with court officials to influence the assignment of his cases to his preferred judges.

The prosecutor, Rotimi Oyedepo, said the offence carries a prison term of two years, but the defence counsel, Mr. Wale Akoni (SAN), said sentence is at the judge’s discretion, and pleaded with Justice Adebiyi to temper justice with mercy.

The judge stood the case down, rose and went into her chambers.

Justice for what?

That guy is being persecuted for speaking against the cabals...., Buhari and Yahaya bello

Can we please stop this "persecution" mantra? The real people that are being persecuted are the Benue, Plateau people that are being slaughtered by criminals, the common Nigerians that are harassed daily by law enforcement officers, the common people whose collective wealth Dino Melaye & other federal lawmakers steal under the guise of ridiculous allowances without commensurate work! The persecuted Nigerians are the ones that the Executive and Judiciary continually fail to protect and provide for not someone that can afford to hire several SANs to defend him in a court of law.

sirusX:
He has been shot at before...so he believes his safety is not guaranteed

But seriously though, I wonder why the police treat citizens with much disrespect when in custody

Even common criminals don't deserve all that. That's what differentiates a well trained force from them

In saner climes ....this is abnormal

Whatever reason Dino had for acting in that manner is best known to him. However, no police force in any saner clime would treat resisting arrest with levity.

Check how American police and British police deal with suspects who resisted arrest.

chocorex:
hmm, allow the toilet saga get behind you dear. there are people whose s*x videos leaked online, no one is trolling them, even people when de act porn, you didn't see her face in the supposed video, why not let it get over you,

Let haters stay fixated on the toilet issue while the young lady keeps balling.

More power to her elbow.

obailala:
That guy wasnt wrong; just about all the great achievements NOI made under OBJ were reversed under GEJ, and that was because GEJ as the boss couldnt hold things together.

Is it in terms of national debt?.. is in terms of the ECA or the foreign reserves?... NOI cleared all the nation's debts under OBJ and was able to accru national savings up to $60bn. But in a period when Nigeria enjoyed the largest unprecedented oil boom, national debts grew steadily to higher levels than it was before being cleared and no defined projects can be pointed out which those debts were used for. Similarly for foreign reserves and ECA, under OBJ NOI supervised these accounts growing from about $5bn to over $60bn. But under GEJ, the same NOI saw that same $60bn vaporize down to $30bn at a time when Nigeria earned its largest income.

Talking of economic indices all looking good under GEJ, that was just a function of high oil prices, high oil income and indiscriminate spending. When excess money is in the system and it's being spent indiscriminately, it tends to show positively on the economic indices like GDP growth rates et al. The real report card on whether the money was well 'spent or not usually shows up when the excess money supply dries up; and that takes us to late 2014/early 2015 when contractors started being owed, billions of dollars were being borrowed to pay salaries, next to nothing was being budgeted for capital expenditure in 2015 etc.

Some might pop up the "biggest economy in Africa" story, but that certaintly isnt an achievement which could have happened under a year of GEJ's rule; it is something which was built up over several years prior to 2010. In a nutshell, like I said before, all the great achievements of NOI happened when she was under obj, and those achievements were largely reversed when she served under gej.

Many thanks. You have spoken my mind.

Aspireahead:
next season Arsenal fans will be wishing he never left. I pity the manager that will replace him.

So true.

5thElement:
When Babangida recently advised his fellow septuagenarian, octogenarian and nonagenarian friends in politics to give way to the younger generation, he probably thought the Nigerian youths were ready.



Going through the responses here should change his mind fast.



Youths aren't even demanding for this contestant's blueprint before condemnation. All they see are his ethnicity, religion, and supposed lack of "experience".



Nigerian youths will rather stick with those who have great " experience " in looting and brigandage.



Good luck, Nigeria.

You have expressed my thoughts. Perhaps, i can only add that this same route was traveled by that foremost human rights activist, Late Gani Fawehinmi, but he was rejected by his own chosen constituency, the masses and downtrodden.

This is exactly what Sowore is experiencing now.

prechbills1:
why did she make false allegations against the school in the first place

Don't conclude that she made false allegations against the school.

I seriously doubt that the senate advised her to withdraw on the basis of this result seeing that the result isn't that bad.

We need to know if other students from this school with this kind of results were advised to withdraw.

Ojemedad:
How can one be broke and still good in bed, if I'm broke I don't even remember if I have a D

That makes you a real man. Thumbs up.

gensteejay:
But it's usually greener sha, with only few exceptions. Most people based in Western countries don't want to return to Nigeria permanently, despite the claim made by a few of them that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Nobody wants to suffer in this hellhole of a country.

It is different strokes for different folks. Some people based in Western countries actually want to return to Nigeria but the shame of being left behind by folks they left in Nigeria, achievements wise, sometimes discourage them from taking the plunge.

There are quite a number of beautiful opportunities in Nigeria and with some planning and God on your side, the possibilities are enormous.

This is not to say that some guys aren't doing wonderfully well abroad.

biacan:
The guy is just confuse as his brother

This has nothing to do with Cee-C..... He got his first strike as a result of ignoring big brothers call to dairy section.... While the second one was because he conspire with lolu and anto to put Cee-C up for eviction and they were smart enough to understand that Tobi was breaking the rules of the house they didn't contribute anything in the conversation they had but left him to be gossiping and barking like a pubic dog........ Never knew this childish attitude exist in among his family members cause they don't seem to take their mouth off Cee-C same way their brother can't do without calling her......"LIKE YO DO YOU UNDERSTAND"

I was beginning to like this Tobi of a guy until I noticed his gross immaturity and his penchant for running his mouth. He is a big let down to men of strong character.

seunmsg:
If Obi want Nigerians to take him serious, he should reveal the immoderate salaries that he earned while in office and let us judge him. When he was enjoying the immoderate salary, he kept quiet and enjoyed it. Now that he's out of office and seeking another opportunity at public office, he's hypocritically putting pressure on current governors with the intention to deceive gullible Nigerians. Once he gets back to public office, he will start enjoying the immoderate salaries and keep quiet again. Just go away with your double face hypocrisy Mr. Obi.

But it is never too late to correct a mistake. What all pro APC, pro PDP and non-partisan people should do is to agitate for a slash in the take home pay of elected officials. That way we can make political offices less attractive to this bunch of rent seekers and charlatans parading themselves as leaders on our political landscape.

kingkakaone:
Thank u my brother.
The last time I talked about this attitude of the youths, one hate filled wannabe took it personal and insulted me even my size and all.
Although some youths are wise but most youths in this country have lost it.
No shame anymore in spilling out foolishness in an online forum.

The problem you identified is the reason why there is a steady decline of honest social critics and activists in Nigeria.

When an activist fights for the Nigerian masses, what does he or she gets in return? The same masses will turn around and say to him "next time, you will learn to keep shut".

Gani Fawehinmi, fought severally for the masses and when he sought for their votes, how many people voted for him?

It is a dangerous thing to fight for Nigerian masses cos when the chips are down, they will never stand by you.

tesppidd:
He don humble.


However this country will be a shithole for the next 500 years.
Nobody investigated his allegations.

The same youth who want to be leaders of tomorrow are saying next time jibrin should shut up.

Shithole country.

My brother, Nigeria is in deep shit.

melejo:
Nigerian youths are very funny. Many of you cannot understand simple satire. They are even abusing the author. Pitiable

It is not a surprise that our country is in the kind of mess it is. We have a lot of youths that cannot comprehend even the simplest stuff! This is a fine satirical piece of literature.

Pierohandsome:
Ordinary man O war is forming sars. Nigerians naturally are proud and power drunk set of people,we are oppressive naturally.

Few ppl wil understand what i mean. Nigerians are bullies

And some people are asking for peace corps to join the association of uniformed bullies in Nigeria. SMH due to our misplaced priorities in Nigeria.

Aibuckher:
Pls the oyibo man in the last pix
Seems something is trying to escape from his trouser
Hope he's not a pervert sha.

So he's the guy that stole Tekno's cassava

That is some damn cassava! The guy needs to be placed under surveillance with those teens in his care.

dairykidd:
Chai this fine girl just waste like that... If u must use ear piece or head phones on the road unplug one ear & keep the volume minimal u will still enjoy the gbedu & be safe.. Rip to the dead

But why would anybody need or want to enjoy 'gbedu' on a busy road?

Pavore9:
Nigerians are being defrauded by politicians who are directly representing them but rather point at politicians from another region as being responsible for their plight!

Very sad but bitter truth. This is the very reason why our politicians present themselves as ethnic champions.

AnanseK:
AIT survived so far on corruption. Check out the billions of Naira paid to them by Jonathan for 2015 election propaganda.
Does it mean that the looted largess is finished?

Spot on!

AIT have always survived at the expense of the general public:

1. There was a time that Dokpesi solicited for donations from Nigerians for his business (Raypower), after a supposed fire outbreak. He made some cool amount of money through that scheme.

2. Daar Communications made a bogus initial public offer through the Nigerian Stock Exchange and divested people of their hard earned money without any commensurate benefit.

3. He collected funds from Dasuki and still didn't pay his staff then.


Dokpesi is a phoney businessman.
