What is normal about using security details in any part of the world to move around or hiding your legit gotten wealth

Una don hold blueraydick for blokus.

security protocol when you drive with escorts from airport to site

now what is the difference between henry and an expat at this point in time?



it is fine to provide protection for expat VIPs but it makes no sense to do the same for international footballers.
got it

Lol.

The Henry guy is a VIP too. He's a billionaire in naira.

Business ke? Shebi that one na if she dey enterprising. Regina Daniel type of women just want to relax and be taken kiarof.

Setup business for them they will run it to the ground

Well, that is unfortunate.

BlueRayDick:
It doesn't even make sense comparing traveling a long distance in a place like PH with history of kidnap and ransom

That is history. The current pH is one of the safest states in the country.
I don't know why some people still think the state is unsafe.

If you ask me, you're more likely to be kidnapped in Lagos than PH.

BlueRayDick:
Nothing to see here; Umahi has managed to use the Okoro guy's company as SPV to set himself off for life after office. The ones he stole as Eboyin governor was not enough, he had to do much more as Minister of works.

If Umahi fit don steal this much as Minister for works within 3 years, only God knows how much Wike has stolen in that Abuja where he's not only awarding contracts worth billions, but also allocating lands as he pleases without much supervision.

By the time this people are done with this country ehn.......

Then somebody will come here to say Universities must increase their fees to N1m to free more funds for FG projects, Electricity subsidy must be removed to make more funds available for government....and other sort of nonsense that .

Some people will this BusinessDay report finish and na "Obi is a fraud", "Obi is a packaged scam", "Obi can never be president" go be their conclusion.

Is the minister of works portfolio not more lucrative? As minister of works, umahi is currently supervising projects worth over 15 trillion naira across the whole country.

DBanj is the number one poster boy for this when he moved to Kanye's GOOD music label in 2011. That was like beginning of the end for him.

Yeah. Even wizkid sef, since his international push, which I can't say was a success or failure, he has been struggling to get back his naija audience. But me I know that ship has sailed.
He was the undisputed no 1 artist in naija until he went international and alienated his naija homebase.

Most of them keep making the same mistake, but some of them are wise. Asake has gone international but didn't alienate his homebase fans. Davido too pulled it off.

This thing happens to artists as well. There are many artists who abandoned their naija fans because they wanted to go international, las las when the international cast, they try to get back the Nigerian audience, but by then the ship has already sailed. Too many to count.

Only few have been able to balance it. You can chase your foreign audience without alienating your naija homebase fans. Davido pulled it off.

Theflint1:
No dey really watch BBN like that before, but the falloff has been crazy.

Too crazy. Nobody send their papa again.
Make UK people watch them since them no dey see proper Nigerians put for the show.

Theflint1:
The lead character na Yoruba, but UK-bred.

Sometimes all these Nigerian movies wey dey bait foreign awards/recognition go dey do some things to appeal to foreign audience which ends up making things looking weird to a Nigerian audience, that was what happened with some of their shots.

I feel this is what is happening to bbnaija right now. They wanted to expand by appealing to Nigerians in diaspora, and it seems they believed the only way to do that, was by flooding the show with housemates bred in the diaspora ( The UK to more specific).

And it seriously backfired, those diaspora housemates cannot carry the show the way proper naija bred housemates used to, as a result their major audience have mostly evaporated.

Let the diaspora watch them na, lol.

These days bbnaija will start and conclude without anybody talking about it.

Most obidients move like batists, they defend anything their principal does or says, even when it's not adding up. No difference anymore.

To think they once accused batists of being zombies.

GloriousGbola:
I sight you omotola.

And here I was thinking your beef was absence of hawt Yoruba actresses to advance the plot.

Lmao.

vanitybutiwanti:
This is funny, which speaker in Nigeria chop money pass Obasa? Lagos state HOA members pass even Rivers and Delta HOA members in terms of cash, go read up the news about lagos assembly members budgeting over 40b for cars and the money was released to them, also remember that lagos generates over 100b monthly in IGR and there are still other rackets going on underground that doesn't flow into the state purse. If Desmond is financially literate, he is not supposed to be broke, off course he has to make peace with gbaja for personal reasons and not necessarily for monetary gains.

This!
You know the drill.

How can you stay 12 years in a state HOA and become broke after leaving office? I've never heard of such blasphemy anywhere, until now on nairaland.

raumdeuter:
So how many steps can you do without dying

Besides the walk from your bed to your dining table

I'll tell you when the president stops travelling abroad for treatment. His action implies Nigeria has no health sector. And if that is the case, he's supposed to fix it, as President.

GloriousGbola:
Guess you can't do no ridin

🤔

raumdeuter:
Start small. From the 3k increase it gradually. Its good for your heart. When weather no too hot, I dey do 10k daily

I'm not ready to leave this world yet, please.

Na me get myself. I never fit carry myself waka finish na to do 5k steps ke. Kuku kill me na.

PapalsBull:
You tried.
From your 3k + steps, if you don't give up you will beat ibime's 15k steps.
Like me when I couldn't go past 5 push-ups straight without collapsing on my stomach. Now I could go past 50 at a go.

I gave up that day I almost collapsed. I don't like playing with fate. Life na sense my bro.

seunmsg:
Now I see why Mr. President opted to stay in Paris instead of attending UNGA. Last week, the International Arbitration Panel sitting in Paris gave its final verdict in respect of the Manbilla hydropower project dispute in favor of Nigeria. Today, French Oil giant TotalEnergies in collaboration with AMNI announced the final investment decision in Ima gas field. A total of $800illion will be committed immediately into the project. By 2028, this field will be producing 350 million cubic ​feet of gas per day. That will bring a very huge increase into the Federation Account.

Omo, God bless President Bola Tinubu and I pray he will have the energy to continue to do more for the country. This is a gas field that has been discovered and abandoned since 1973 by successive government. Now, Nigerians are about to benefit maximally from it.

When are Nigerians going to start benefitting "maximally" from resources in the north? Because it seems like only resources in the ND are for benefiting "maximally".

PDPGuy:
I guess agbado farming is the way to go

There is money in agriculture. A lot of people in the south just have this wrong misconception that agriculture is dirty and worthless.

Everything is just packaging. With proper packaging, and on ground monitoring, you'll make serious bar from agriculture, if any unforseen issues don't occur.

I saw people posting 15k steps 20k steps all over my X timeline recently. I wonder how they do it.

That was how I saw ibime and co posting 10k steps and said I should try it, only 4k abi 3500 steps wey I waka I almost collapse.

This is why it's not good to try everything you see on social media.

You can imitate others and not live to tell the story oh, while the people you tried to imitate continue living their life to the fullest.

Fisayo is a 101% real one

and everyday FIJ is calling out banks etal who fk people over

Fisayo is who some of us thought Sowore was over a decade ago.

Segedinho:
8-11 years ago 12 of my very good friends went en route to italy..I declined due to the risk plus i was doing relatively well compared to about 10 of dem...dey all succeeded ..


.fast forward to today..they are all doing fantastically well than i in almost all ramifications financially

I think we shouldn't use only finances as a major decider of success.
By the way, financial success is subjective. So, no need comparing your life to anybody else life.

Whatever you see, a price was paid, even if you're ready to pay the price there's no guarantee you'll get the same results.

Las las, comparison is the thief of joy.

Fisayo Soyombo took the journey through the Sahara to Libya en route Italy

He documented it here

https://fij.ng/article/undercover-europe-through-the-sahara-desert-and-the-mediterranean-sea-i/

Nawah. Saw this on X earlier.
Why do people still take risks like this, I saw one that said his mum spent 3.5m to put him in the journey, some even left their young kids to embark on the journey.

Later people will call on FG to intervene if something happens. Smh.

raumdeuter:
My elder> Na me hail pass. Shey make I send your name and address to barracks near you make you do small frog jump?

Na razabamza go handle you

Send them come one by one. Soldiers are like cultists, they're nothing by themselves. Fvcking cowards.

Raumdeuter my senior brother, I greet you.

izzou:
Elder wan put you for talk this morning

American Soldier compared to a Nigerian soldier ke??

In my opinion, this is justifying bad behavior.
Nobody forced them to join the Nigerian military, they knew the pay/renumeration is poor before joining, so if the poor renumeration is messing with their mental health, shouldn't they either resign from the military or take it up with their superiors?

There's no excuse for the unprofessionalism of the Nigerian military. They're a disgrace to humanity.

BlueRayDick:
Most times when a soldier likes to make trouble, it is the personality of the soldier shining through. Unfortunately for the public, when a soldier makes trouble and he's about to be overwhelmed by the trouble he caused, espirits-de-corps will make fellow soldiers join him so he doesn't get disgraced. Let me share a recent experience I observed.

Early August I was in PH for official assignment and I happen to be in a security convoy with some Nigerians and some expatriates. Our Lead vehicle is a military hilux that has about 6 soldiers on board. The escort coordinator was sat in the vehicle I was in (Which followed closely behind the lead military hilux).

There's a particular soldier in the lead military vehicle that would always jump down at junctions with traffic bottlenecks and be fighting with either a 3rd party truck driver or whipping a PH keke guy. The guy jumps down at every opportunity to "deal " with "bloody civilians". Now, the thing is the escort coordinator is always pissed by this particular soldier's action. The escort coordinator will always speak to the driver of the lead military hilux to call the overzealous soldier to order.

I understand the escort coordinator's concern tho; In our vehicle we have 2 Germans and one American whom you don't want their memory of Nigeria to be of soldiers whipping other road users just for them to get to their destination early.....But those of us who are Nigerians also understood that some of the truck drivers, keke riders and korope drivers are goat that won't do the right thing till they are either whipped or viciously treated like animals.

The escort coordinator made a statement which resonated with we the Nigerians in the vehicle. He said "When these boys don spend like 1 to 2 years in Sambisa forest fighting terrorists, it is difficult for them to adjust when they are back amongst ordinary civilians"

Personally, I think that particular soldier that was always jumping down is a very aggressive person with anger issue. I also think posting those guys back into the society after over a year at the war front (without any proper evaluation of their mental well-being) is a danger to the society nobody is talking about. The guy has a loaded rifle that he points at Keke guys before whipping them; what if those ones say the "wrong word" and he pulls his trigger ?

American soldiers that fight wars everywhere don't behave like this when they return to the US.

izzou:


Why are you bitter nau?

To be honest, I would rather swallow the excesses of the Army, Navy or Air Force than the Police.

Abeg oh. Me I prefer Nigerian police to the useless Nigerian military 💯.

Na who broke Nigerian police dey embarrass, the useless Nigerian military no dey look face.

KingTom:
That was how I went and involved myself in one medical supply contract to Navy Hospital, after the first payment we all used our money to tidy up some loose ends, we were first denied entry into the base and the BABO (Base Accounting and Budgetary Officer) blocked our lines but later picked and explained to us that one Capt. Iyke is the one who handles contracts for the CNS and he's like a demigod who everyone is scared of, he too is not picking calls. We now took our case to the Headquarters Eastern Navy Command, the Admiral summoned the BaBo who was a Commander to come to his office, when the BABO arrived and saw us he just snapped his fingers, after the Admiral advised us and told us not to worry. The BaBo now smiled and said we should just drive behind him to the Base and collect some money, let's just go with him so he can see what he can do, My mama no raise fool sha I tell my people say make we no go but they declined, anyway they drove behind him while me I went my way and wetin Navy use their eye see ehn my case come turn Airmark and Ganduje, the CNS retired, Ikechukwu became an Admiral and also retired, BaBo sef now na Commodore going on Admiral

The bolded is so funny.

Nigerian military too useless. All of them are the same, if the higher ups are not in on the culture, they would've stopped behaving like this.

I remember getting in problem with one commissioned officer, it wasn't a problem if we go by definition of the word, but this is Nigeria.

The man insisted I must beg him, me I refused, I stood my ground that I didn't do what he was trying to pin on me.

At a point he said I was feeling too big to beg because he's smaller than me or what, it felt like he was trying to prove a point in embarrassing me, by making me say the word"sorry", it was beginning to seem like inferiority complex to me, like play like play, hours wan dey pass and him & him boys no allow me move, I had to swallow my pride and beg him despite knowing I did no wrong, because las las na naija we dey.

izzou:
I have noticed that in the military, the higher the rank, the more responsible they are.

The lower the rank, the more likely they misbehave.

Not in all cases though.

If you see a soldier beating up someone or rough handling them, him rank dey low.

True.

The commissioned officers are mostly calm and exposed, although they still behave as if Nigerian laws apply to them differently.

It is those riffraffs that joined the military as a last resort after failing in every other aspect of life, and receiving 80k monthly, that are hellbent on taking out their frustration on normal civilians, as if somebody forced them to sign up for the military.

But las las, I refuse to excuse the higher-ups. If the higher ranks were not tolerating or encouraging such irritating behavior, they would not be doing it. The higher ranks encourage it subtly.
