Point of correction, he wasn't banned from all social media. Zuckerberg owns YouTube,google, Facebook and Instagram. Only twitter is owned by Jack Dorsey but they are many more social media apps that are out there that have massive followers that will surprise you.

None of the big social media platforms in existence will allow him do his business as usual.

Every single person who believed this cooked up motivational story should be rounded up and shipped to Sambisa forest.

And I know it’s a Nigerian motivational speaker behind this. Who else will imagine someone has $726m in a savings account?

Bruh. Over a decade to complete a single rail line.

And the usual clowns who have never paid a cent of tax in their lives are on the first page salivating. Na wa.

The exact same telcos that already have ALL the details needed? Same telcos that have our fingerprints, photos, addresses, date of birth, local government area etc?

This is a hopeless and inefficient system .

Babylon the Great is Fallen!


And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

His biggest mistake was not conceding to Biden after the electoral college.
Also his handling of the COVID19 crisis was not the best. Though no one should come and tell me that if it was under Obama's time less than 50,000 people would have died. He was just unfortunate, wanted the economy to be on full-scale despite the pandemic.
Else from that Donald Trump was an exceptional president. He did not fight a single war. Despite pressures for him to continue the military strikes on Syria, he kept away from it and Syria that was a warzone under Obama is a peaceful country today.
This is one president who demanded an end to the Fulani invasions and killing on Christians from Buhari straight up face to face. You can choose to believe CNN all you want. But his legacy remains.

Lmao. The worst president ever. The US reputation is In tatters because of him. Successfully alienated their long time European allies. Declared war on his own intelligence services and replaced many competent folks with his cronies.

There is no legacy. He inherited a strong economy from Obama. His tax cuts overwhelmingly favored the rich. He's sown the seeds of division and white supremacy in America.

Sure, he didn't start any wars, but he's done worse. Seriously emboldened domestic terrorism in the US. Now FBI has to vet American soldiers for loyalty, and DC is filled with 25000 troops for the inauguration. For the first time, the public cant attend an inauguration.


Thankfully, much of all the crap he's done will be quickly reversed by executive orders.

[quote author= post=98209748]More on TRAINS.....

Kudos to our darling Daddy for all the good works he and his Vice president have been doing all over our darling nation.

Slow and steady, Nigeria will be great in our lifetime.

I HATE TRAINS.
I HATE BRIDGES.
I HATE RICE.
I HATE TALLEST BUILDING EAST OF THE NIGER


Let me give the background to this piece. I was reading some comments on Twitter early in the week, when I ran into this one by one Dr Ben Gbenro: “Why are some people allergic to good news about Nigeria? You are angry about the test-run of Lagos-Ibadan rail, you are angry about the development in Onne Port, but will eagerly amplify any negative news even if it’s not true. Something is wrong with you and I am here to tell you.”

Of course, that comment generated responses, both positive and negative. But the one that caught my fancy specially was by Ayekooto, who declared: “We have got to a stage when GMB achievements can no longer be denied but hated. I hate trains. I hate bridges. I hate rice.”

Very profound. A lot of people can no longer deny the many achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari, particularly in the area of infrastructure, building a new Nigeria, and so, they have decided to hate it. Sad. Very sad.

Nobody can deny that there are very serious challenges in the country, particularly in the areas of security, the economy, and standard of living generally. But that is not all there is to Nigeria of today, and those challenges are being addressed very robustly. That hymn says “behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour.” We will surely see an end to the challenges, if we all work together, and eschew hate speeches.

Why then do some people choose to see and amplify only negative things? Why do they choose to remain willfully blind and deaf to positive things? And surrounded and confronted by salutary developments, they keep repeating; what has the Buhari administration achieved? Show us.

You tell them that just last weekend, there was a test run of the Lagos-Ibadan rail project, with brand new coaches that will begin commercial operation before the end of the year.That is happening in a country where we were told we couldn’t afford new coaches when our oil was selling at over 100 dollars per barrel. Now, at about 40 dollars per barrel, we are launching new coaches. Instead of giving credit to a prudent government, they just say; I hate trains.

Okay, if you hate trains, what of brand new airports in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Enugu, and others in the works? There was a time we were said to parade the worst airports in the world. But not any longer. Buhari reversed it in his four years. What do they say about that? They look up, look down, scratch their heads, and say; I hate airports. I’ve never even boarded a plane in my life, and I don’t want to board. Will I ever enter a plane if I’d been killed by bandits?

Okay. You hate airports and planes. What of bridges being built over rivers in different parts of the country, most especially the Second River Niger Bridge, which the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) built with mouth for 16 years. You tell them that the bridge is almost 50% done, and should be completed in the first quarter of 2022. There’s also the Loko-Oweto Bridge, linking Benue and Nasarawa States. It was started by a previous administration, but almost completed now. Like a cornered rat, their eyes dart furtively from corner to corner, seeking a hole to enter. Finding none, they tell you deadpan: I hate bridges.

Okay. All those are physical structures. So they want stomach infrastructure. You then tell them of the rice revolution, which has freed us from being a net importer of the product in the world. You point out that if Buhari hadn’t put his money where his mouth was, and encouraged us to go back to the land, causing rice farmers to rise from six to 12 million, we would have been in serious trouble when COVID-19 struck. How would we have imported rice, with all international borders closed, and no foreign exchange to even place orders? They pat their tummies gingerly, belch after a hearty meal, and then declare: I hate rice.

A Cancer Centre has been built and commissioned by President Buhari at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). An ultra-modern diagnostic center also built and commissioned in Kano. And just this week, another diagnostic centre built at a cost of $5.5 million, was commissioned at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, in Abia State. What do they say of all these? “I hate hospitals. May I never need to use any diagnostic centre. It is not my portion.”

You join them to say amen, since you don’t have a hateful heart. And you remind them that the largest ever vessel in the country, Maerskline Stadelhorn, with a length of 300 meters and width of 48 meters, berthed few days ago at Onne Port, in Rivers State. That is the biggest ever container vessel to berth in any part of Nigeria. Onne people were delirious with joy, and praised the government to high heavens, because no vessel had come to their port for 12 years, till August last year, under Buhari. You tell the naysayers the positive economic implications, but they refuse to listen. They dive under water, shouting as they go: We hate container vessels.

You then take them to Yenagoa, in Bayelsa State. Just last week, the skyline of South-south and South-East was transformed, as President Buhari commissioned the tallest Federal Government structure in the region, the 17-story Nigerian Content Tower, Headquarters of Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

The architectural masterpiece occupies an area equivalent to four football fields, and has a 1,000 seater conference centre plus a 10 MW power plant. Started in late 2015, now completed, all under Buhari. Engineer Simbi Wabote, Executive Secretary of the agency paid tribute to the resolve, determination and encouragement of the President, that saw the structure to completion in record time. And Wabote, third E.S of NCDMB in its 10 years history, has written his name in gold. Just because he has a supportive President.

Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylvia, under whose tenure as Bayelsa State Governor the land was allocated for the project, declared: “The commissioning of this building is symbolic in many ways. It shows that Mr President is keen to see infrastructural development in every part of the country...It shows that skyscrapers and other laudable infrastructure can be built in the Niger Delta.”

But they say Buhari hasn’t achieved anything. You show them the 17-story building, and as they gaze skyward, their caps and headgear fall off. You pick the cap and headgear, dust and hand them back. And you ask, brothers and sisters, how now? Rather than admit defeat, they pull the caps and headgear over their eyes, and grumbled: We hate skyscrapers. They make us dizzy.

At that point, you pity them.
You realize that they need prayers.
They hate everything good.
They hate anything uplifting.
They hate development.
They hate their country.
They even hate themselves.


To the enemies of the country,
Children of hate, Frustrations and perdition,
Lovers of bad news,
The anointing wey all of us @[color=#006600][/color] carry,
No be una Papa mate!
No Cap!

MAY BUHARI SUCCEED.


Amen and God bless you real good.
Happy New Year.


God bless you and God bless your parents for giving us a wise man like you.
You are one of the few sane people we have here.
Keep it up and Happy New Year! [/quote]This long write up you churned out has NOTHING to do with the thread topic or the OP. All that it’s made clear is that you have nothing of substance to contribute to the salient discussion, so all you can do is to try to deflect.


Such a shame.

Lagosinter1:
Fool. His response to it posted here is a joke as well.

You act as if these things don't happen daily.

You haven't seen or heard of women locking up because the husband hasn't met one material desire or the other?

And do you have any reason to believe this is the case in this scenario? Especially when the husband posted it to social media himself, with much levity?

Lmao

Kuns84:
It was all fun and games when this tweet went viral - a man showing the list of chores his woman gave him with detailed instructions on cleaning the bathroom of their apartment. Moreso, this woman specified that she will open her 'pum pum' for him that night only if the tasks are completed.

While reading the comments under this tweet, I couldn't help but imagine what the reaction would've been if the genders were reversed. Just imagine if a husband created a list of bills his wife must pay before she can sleep in his house? or even chores to do before he can bring out money for feeding? Imagine the uproar and double standards that would generate.

It is increasingly glaring that men have become the subservient gender in relationships and marriages - expected to give everything while gaining little in return. you aren't even guaranteed the bare minimum (a faithful wife) for your efforts. In modern day relationships, men must remain traditional and be the sole providers while women no longer have to be traditional home keepers (their own responsibilities is now classed as oppression while yours remains a mandatory duty).

This is the world we now live in.

Man, you people are such bitter, misogynistic clowns here.

You don’t have context. You don’t know what’s happening in their marriage. You don’t know if that was a joke. You don’t know if they take it in turns to clean their rooms.


Basically, you don’t know.

And now you’ve come up with some nonsense about how ‘men are now subservient’ in one of the most patriarchal societies in the world.


Imagine bringing up a hypothetical ‘role reversal’ where you imagine bill payment being held hostage. Who told you sef that the man is the one paying all the bills? Or most of the bills?


The man posted this online for laughs. Obviously it’s an inside joke between him and his wife. And you’re here on Nairaland whining about it.

wink2015:
BUT THE TRUTH is that all this speech will not change the heart of the Daura stubborn ex-military general turned Nigeria President.

I’m no fan of Buhari, but he was not the one faking fainting spells at the NDDC probe.

The region needs good, honest leadership. If you had honest leaders at all levels, the zone would be the best developed in Nigeria.

But alas.

BluntTheApostle:
So, doctor's reports cannot be dubious abi?

A doctor's report is infinitely higher on the believability scale than grainy whatsapp images.

But you already knew that, didn't you?

BluntTheApostle:
I am sure you believed the woman when she started the whole saga.

Believe ke? You think I'm you that swallows everything you see on the Internet? The woman has made allegations that are plausible. What needs to be done is an investigation by the police, which will include a detailed medical report.

The man knows that all he has to do is to mention ‘DNA test’ and 90% of the dullards on Nairaland will leap to his support.

Nah, we don’t want to see WhatsApp messages of dubious origin. We need to see the doctors report to confirm if the boy Has truly been molested.

Lol

They ‘uncovered a plot’. They didn’t arrest anybody. All they’re doing is to ‘warn the planners to desist’?

A plot that’s supposedly so sophisticated that it encompasses multiple states across the country. Yet no arrests or frozen bank accounts.


Tales by moonlight.

BenedictStinson:
Lolz because of all this naija inflated prices. I registered amazon account. My purchase was charged at 420naira exchange rate plus minor shipping fee. All this people for here wan make profit pass people way make the game

This is most certainly false.

Not only is the console not in stock at Amazon (sells out in less than 30 seconds anytime it is listed), but no Nigerian bank allows you to spend more than $200 a month from your ATM card. Most of them peg it at $100 a month.


Let's not lie to make a point.

“I don’t trust the girl”

Then in the next sentence says “ These ladies can go any length to deal with any guy that sex and dumped them”

ASUU didn’t want IPPIS due to some perceived gaps in the tool, but they’ve never rejected the idea of a tool to audit payments. In fact, they agreed with the FG to provide a home grown solution tailored to their peculiar needs and have long since given their tool to the FG to audit and confirm that it meets requirements.

With the ASUU tool, the FG’s aim of reducing corruption and stopping Ghost payments is still achieved.


Imagine jumping in to do voltron over an issue that has been resolved already.

I don't trust this Girl Abit.

I had been accused b4 for rape. These ladies can go any length to deal with any guy that sex and dumped them. Forget the innocent face the portray, they know people will support them due to "Weaker being" they are seen as. I will see the end of this

How did she know the commissioner wanted to use her for ritual.

‘Sex and dump’ a 16 year old girl? You don’t know that’s statutory rape of a minor ?

I’m sure you’re a rapist too.

Yes. I would

BluntTheApostle:
So, you can't thank your employees simply because they are doing their job?

Appreciation is a human practice, and it serves many purposes.

One major purpose of appreciation is that serves as a motivation.

When Obama was president, he was always thanking his secretary every time she handed him the plan for the day.

Of course, he can decide not to thank her. After all, she is getting paid for doing the job.

But appreciation motivates people to work harder. It makes them feel appreciated as human beings, and not mere machines or tools.

The police are paid from our taxes. Their job is to secure lives and properties.

It doesn't mean we should not be grateful if a team of policemen saves us from armed robbers or kidnappers.

And legally, tax money is not your money. It belongs to the government. The government uses it to generate wealth. Without the wealth, even you yourself will not be able to boast of having any income.

Im not a civil servant, so you can save us the lecture.

There’s nothing wrong with being pleased that an administration is living up to their promises and actually doing work.

There’s something wrong with the narrative being pushed on Twitter - and by some in this thread - that were should be exceedingly thankful to the President for living up to a fraction of his pre-election promises.

Nigerians sha. You can tell those people who pay zero tax.

An administrator manages to build a train network between lagos and Ibadan after 5 years in power and you’re thanking him? For doing his job? For using your tax money?

TemiBami2020:
Pls help me people. My world is collapsing. It's a marriage of 10years and blessed with 3kids (2 boys and a girl). Like every other marriages, we've had our own shares of ups and downs. No marriage is perfect.

Last month i went to work. By the time I came back the children were no where to be found, including my husband. Initially, I thought they went out or something. Around 11pm I got worried and called my brother in-law who is a police to track my husband numbers

He contacted other family members and he found out my husband left for UK with our children forever.

I don't know what to do. I'm running mad. Pls is there any authority I can contact in the UK? Or can I go to the UK/ British Commission in Nigeria to lay a formal complaint? Is there any NGO I can contact?


Modified For those saying I'm a bad wife, I'm not. I've been very supportive in a every way a wife can be. I've lived in both physical and verbal abusive marriage within the last 10years of my life. He's a violent man, adulterous, alcoholic and a fervent smoker. He gets drunk and get home and beat me up Infront of the children unprovoked. I have evidences and witnesses

I often threaten him I would take my children and go away cause I can't watch and allow them to grow in such a toxic home.

So sad

Rubbish statement from a Hypocrite, there are three tiers of Government pursuant to the Constitution of 1999 as Amended, Federal, State, & Local Government, Which President Buhari has no jurisdiction whatsoever over? Pastor are you blaming President Buhari for the incompetence of the States, & Local Government, or don’t you understand the Democrazy we practice in Nigeria?

Security is everyone’s business, which begins from the 36 Chief security officers of each individual state (The Governors), not 1 man in Abuja, 36 is stronger than 1, different states have different security challenges, the President can’t solve it from Abuja, one hat can’t fit all? until you hypocrites stop deceiving yourself with this rubbish Democrazy things will only get worse.

The President controls the Police, army and all intelligence agencies. The buck stops at his tables. Stop heckling your betters with your unintelligent and illogical takes.

You don't think it's prudent to show the broken screen properly?
