What other emotions are you suppose to show whether or not it was an attack, accidental or friendly fire?

So you think the gunshot injuries and subsequent hospitalization are all part of a broader prank?

What do you smoke my dear?

You don't really have to be high on something before asking trivial questions you know.
Yes, I will say it's part of the prank to get wider audience.
Your outrage regarding my questioning of the how he got shot is not necessary though.
You could have pointed me to where the question was answered and I will be silent if my asking was an attempt to be sarcastic about his situation or be more emotional if he was shot genuinely.

You wanted the injury to be life threatening?

If he dies, will you live out the rest of his life?

Nama!!!

You weren't paying attention really. The report didn't state that he was shot by hoodlums. It didn't also state that he was shot by accident during the video shoot.
If you don't ask how he got injured by gun shot then you are part of the skit.
No one wishes him death or harm but the report is not clear and is only attracting sympathy.

Shot while shooting a skit.
Do they use real gun for skits or movies?
Injury sustained in his thigh as in the shooter didn't see life threatening places to shoot?
Anyways, quick recovery.

BATified2023:
Good evening everyone

This story I am about to say happened to me but I don't really care if you believe because even me won't believe it if someone told me.

I remember that year was 2010 when I was in 200 level, I remember me and my guys used to go to night class to read but this fateful day I was the only one that had papers the following day and it's not advisable I read in the hostel because there will always be distraction.

So I decided to go to night class alone,my phone was fully charged with my earpiece at standby. Around 3am I was done and was on my way home with my earpiece blasting music at d highest volume, as I was approaching the hostel I saw a man I believe was a student and also coming from night class moving from one edge of the gate to another.

At first I really didn't pay much attention because I believe he was a student like me coming from class, he wore white jalamia and was moving from one edge of the gate to the other. I believe he was trying to call people in the hostel to open the gate for him.

As I got close to him I realized this guy's legs weren't touching the ground, like he was floating sharply I comot earpiece stop music to observe my surroundings. Lo and behold this guy wasn't calling anyone's name and he wasn't even knocking at the gate but was murmuring.

That moment, I nearly ran mad. It was that day I realized that when your speed is too much your trouser can tear on the run, I lost everything I had on me that day, my phone, bag, earpiece, slippers and everything, I couldn't wait to knock on the gate for my roommate to open, I climb fence straight up.

He asked me what happened, I just told him some guys tried to rob me because I knew he won't believe it and even me won't believe it if you tell me.

It was the following morning, very early that I went to pick some of the things I could find....since then anything anyone is talking about spirituality or things like ghost, I don't argue or counter it because if you haven't experienced it you won't believe it.


Thanks for reading

Your head no swell?
Those of us going outside in the night to urinate can relate.
If you had observed well, you would notice the being wasn't moving. optical illusion.
In one occasion, I saw one walking on. One moment, it would look like it is getting to the end of the road, the next moment, it appears to be where I first saw it still walking towards the end of the. After the second observation my head look like it swelled and I felt weightless and about falling backwards but I staggered to the room.
In another occasion, it was two people discussing. It was thick night without light. But these two were visible in that darkness and eves casted shadows. There appearance becomes. Bright and dims like something was casting shadows on them in that darkness.
It's like I drifted to another dimension.

Transportation cost is what is keeping it high.
Diesel price is between 1,650 to 1,700 against 1,000 to 1,050 that it used to be.

States already enrolled in Dangote free delivery should offer lower price for the product. Others would have to recover their transportation cost.

Now it is costs from government agencies and not that the government is failing to supply crude as at when due.

They claim that they are buying Nigerian crude from third party. They failed to mention that this crude they are sourcing from third party was initially supplied by the government in dollars besides the crude in naira volume agreement so that government can arguments it dollar deficit but Dangote's greed did not hold back. He chose to stop seles in Naira and started selling in dollars claiming that he has exhausted the crude for naira volume agreement with the government. He doesn't want government to benefit from the refinery or the crude oil.

Again, most of the increments announced by dangote are speculative. No products were offered to the customers during the increase above 995. So why announce price increase when no product were offered.

This was a deliberate crisis invention and it is working it purpose.
Government now restarted CNG conversion kits distribution at the expense of the government so that beneficiaries can buy dangote CNG. It will also reduce the volume of petrol consumed locally so he can export the excess for foreign currency.

This is not business. This is tyranny.

chopnaira:
Is Dangote the one increasing the oil prices in US, Canada, Australia, and Europe too?

How many barrels has he imported from those places since the crises?
Has engine oil, greeze and plastics increased in price yet? Are they not bye products of same oil? The increase are just because demand has increased. If other countries especially the middle east are in the market with there products, will this increase happen. It's all part of taking advantage of an urgly situation.

Diesel is 1450 to 1,600. Cost of production and transportation has just multiplied.
Government placed tariffs on batteries and and solar panels to prevent more people going off the grid for selfish revenue accrual.
The grid supplies power mostly at night when productivity is close to zero.
Why are there no plans to explore EVs?
No. Government has no plans for development of the country. If they do, they would know where to start.

As for dangote, he has to sell the CNG that his refinery is producing. The talk about CNG was high few years ago but no one is concerned about it after he jacked the price up. His alternative after most truck owners rejected the CNG is to roll out free delivery of products purchased from his industries by factoring in the transportation cost using marginal increase in the price of the products using his CNG Trucks.
Now he has seen an opening. US/ISRAEL/IRAN crisis has placed importation on hold. He has no competition. He has increased the price of diesel by 50% to make it more expensive for marketers to transport products themselves. The goal is for everyone to fallback to him either enrol in the free delivery program or migrate to CNG trucks.
He has nothing to loose. Only gains and more gains.

The government didn't listen and at least focus on Diesel production which could have stopped this moves in this kind of situation.
Power generation is going to zero because the cost of diesel is beyond normal.

Next to tumble is our exchange rate. Everything is going to be 3times the current price.

Free delivery is about to commence.
Diesel prices has gone up 1,350 to 1,500 naira per liter.
Transportation cost has gone up from between 35-60 naira per liter to between 60-100 naira per liter.
Feasible price for fuel now is between 1,100 to 1,200
Marketers have to enroll in the free delivery or loose out.
Just know that the transportation cost has already been factored in in the price per liter. If you choose self delivery, you would be paying transportation cost twice.
No one wins against Dangote.
Be humble and enjoy.

Me that dreamt seeing myself coming down from the stairs wearing jeans trouser and singlet while listening to radio Uganda have not seen any sign of appointments coming to me.
Please who is our ambassador to Uganda. I have to start networking. My destiny is tied to Uganda.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a new phone and I'd love some recommendations. Here are my must-haves:

- Dual SIM with 5G network capability (or at least 4G)
- Great camera performance in low light
- Minimum 5000mAh battery life
- At least 6GB RAM (8GB or more would be awesome)
- Minimum 128GB ROM
- Durable screen that won't break easily
- Processor that's fast and responsive although I'm not a gamer)
- Price: not more than ₦500k (preferably around ₦350k)
- New, original devices only (I'm not a fan of IPhone or UK used phones, please do not suggest them). I'm currently using a Samsung phone, but open to other reliable brands.

Can anyone suggest some great options that fit these requirements?

Try real me. It has the cheapest 5g phones

Seyi tinubu is running for pregnancy. His father is stepping down for him.
That is why he has recruited younger business men into his campaign. The young generation is taking over to spite the political cabals scheming to hijack the seat of power.

Now you know.

The more the Igbos flogg this retirement the more they create unhealthy atmosphere for him in the face of the government who would consider an appointment for him to be seen as out of guilt instead of reward and acknowledgement of his good works. If this happens, he would be forgotten for good.

You all know it is bound to happen. Why trivialize it.

Please whats the alternative to DSTV
I pay 25k per month and I only watch football matches on DSTV and not all the time.

Sometimes I may only watch matches 3 times a month due to work schedule on top 25k

I want to stop paying that amount, Need advise on a cheaper alternative that is free or wont cost as much to watch all footbal matches.
I heard of this andriod stick, would that do the job?

Install a satellite TV for general viewing.
Get smart TV and get good router for streaming the matches online. You can only consume data when you stream.

It's really really nice and it's actually one of the biggest advantages of PD charging.

With a good PD charger, you can power multiple devices like phones, tablets, earbuds, and even some laptops without needing separate chargers.

It makes things easier and reduces the number of charging bricks people carry around.

Out of curiosity, what wattage is your PD charger?

68w. Three output ports combined with multiple head USB cord.

Nice.
I use my PD charger to charge 4 phones, earbods, Tablet and power bank. Just one charger with multiple output options.
It's a nice technology.

CIA just recovered one of their assets.

That is not true of my Nigeria. I can tell you the flaws.

Itel S26 has been in existence for over a year. Should we say Samsung S26 is a copy of Itel because they came out with this design first.

gidgiddy:
I think you should do more research on Nigeria history. The name Biafra was actually the suggestion of an Ijaw man called Frank Opigo, head of the Yenagoa province of the old Eastern Region. A lot of people tend to forget that all the Chiefs and heads of the 20 provinces that made up the old Eastern Region met in Enugu(Eastern Nigeria Consultative Forum) where they discussed for two days, voted and mandated Ojukwu to declare the Eastern Region a seperate country called Biafra. When Opigo was called to speak at the conference, he suggested that the name of the new country be called "Biafra".

So indigenous West Africans chose the name Biafra, unlike the name Nigeria that was created in London by a white woman, imported into West Aftica by her boyfriend, and imposed on people by force

That was enlightening.

shortgun:
Pick up books and read, you won't die.
Commenting on things you know nothing about makes you appear dumb to people.

How will Ojukwu be richer than his father when his father is a billionaire at that time.?

Focus on Odumegwu Ojukwu. I have tried to magnify his wealth so it won't look like he defrauded his people by collecting their money and gave them piece of paper because of poverty yet you are trying to be book clever by focusing more on how wealthy his father was. We have read all those and how his father provided the queen with carriage vehicle. So does that solve the issue that biafrans that converted their currency to the piece of paper Ojukwu issued was never refunded when the war was over. You are derailing the thread just to claim intelligence that might be questionable.

gidgiddy:
You are not ashamed of your self? You are answering the name "Nigerian", a British colonial slave name created in London by a white woman. This is your national identity

You are claiming a country the British from Europe created, as your country. You are nothing but a product of the British

Ojukwu fought for freedom. He fought for freedom from a country he knew would never work, and he was right, it has never worked.

So someone who is answering a name created in London by a white woman has no business lecturing Ojukwu on why he chose the name Biafra

Nigeria is not a people but a country. it is a name given to our region by our colonial master. They could name us anything because we were conquered without a fight.
We were slaves in a colony.

Biafra is not a country. We were not slaves under Ojukwu to warrant him giving us a name without consultation. The Igbos were free at independence and we jointly accepted the name Nigeria at independence.
We were free as Nigerians.
Oppression that arose was not external aggression but internal squabble caused by our politicians and the height of it was the coup that brought in our own as the ruler of the nation. That is the truth we are not telling ourselves.
Every claim of marginalization is we being served the dish that our politicians served others during this short period.

We have never been slaves in Nigeria. We dominate the trade, sports, and crafts industry. Our population living outside our region is more than our population within our region.

This slavery you are fighting to free yourself in is actually the slavery of our politicians and leaders which they dragged us into fighting for them. Now the politicians and leaders are free and has ignored us that was dragged into this fight of theirs while we live in self guilt and slave mentality as they enjoy their political loots alone without questions or opposition.
This is why political alignment will continue because our politicians has found their freedom and you will have to call yourself a fool to be free, else, you continue to fight and slave like Ojukwu boy in NDC without gain.
Open your eyes.

shortgun:
This is exactly why responding to you guys will always make one less intelligent. You said in your other post that the name Biafra "has no identity or meaning in the igbo dialect".
Then suddenly it has a meaning now?

And what nonsense about “your oil” are you talking about? Even as of today, three Igbo states are oil-producing states out of the five states in the South-East.
Ojukwu had every opportunity to accept international support in exchange for crude oil to win the war but he declined. This is one of the reasons he is held in high esteem. He said the war was not about crude oil.

Go and read about Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, he is from a very wealthy family.
As at the time of the war, his father Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was the richest man in Nigeria. So stop typing nonsense about Ojukwu taking anything from anyone.
He was a man of integrity who stood by his people when it mattered most. If the same conditions present themselves today and Ojukwu calls for war, we will gladly pick up arms.

At least you did not dispute the origin of the name Biafra. That is improvement.
But Biafra has no meaning. That is why everyone will come with different interpretation. MASSOB under Ralph Uwazurike claimed Biafra is a distortion of B'Epharaim meaning for Ephraim. This is why they are claiming Israel ancestry. In every of the origin claims, there is a distortion which makes it a name without meaning.

Luis Ojukwu was claimed to be the richest man in Nigeria selling stock fish right? Funny.
No one called Ojukwu poor anyways because he was brigadier general and head of eastern regional government. That should make him richer than his father by far don't you think. But does that dispute the fact that no one gets a refund of the money they exchanged for the Biafran currency. What did he do to help his people get the paper he issued them converted to Nigerian currency. Did he at least negotiate a value with the government so they can help those that has accumulated the currency over the 3 year war?
Did he convert the money for them even if it is a a very low exchange rate?


Sometimes, intelligence is not in the answer but in the question.

helinues:
The Federal government of Nigeria should temporarily ban all forms of political protest in Nigeria.

Any country USA or foreign power is interested in taking their resources illegally, their first approach is to organize nationwide protest with the opposition leaders. The protest always distract the security operatives while the main plan will be going underground

Same tactics was used in Israel before the Oct 7 attack. There was a nationwide protest in Israel for like 2 weeks which got the security operatives carried away

Christian persecution bla bla was all about over taking China in the Nigeria mining sector. If they had issue with China, let USA go and settle it elsewhere not . in Nigeria. The Eastern Congo tactics can never work in Nigeria

Btw, we are monitoring every moves of the opposition leaders and their supporters

Who is the we? Are you a Politician/Apc, armed forces or a concerned Nigerian.
How are you monitoring every move of the opposition.
Guilt tripping.

shortgun:
You are very ignorant and swallow.
The name Biafra was derived from the Bight of Biafra... a recognized geographical term long before the civil war. Nations are not required to bear names in a local dialect to have legitimacy. Many countries across the world have names that predate their modern ethnic compositions.

You are the deluded one if you think during wartime a sovereign entity should not issues its own currency. It's idiotic for a government fighting for survival continue to rely on the currency of it's enemies.
Every decision His Excellency General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu took was very perfect in every since. This is why he remains our hero till infinity. You can go and die

Oh shortgun!
I heard he was refining and selling our petrol and crude oil when he took over port Harcourt. I guess your family received benefits from the proceeds of that sales and other businesses.
Did he also queue to collect 20 naira to start life afresh after the war or he used his Biafran currency to charter flights to ivory coast?
Who made Biafra sovereign entity? Was there any UN resolution or AU resolution that recognized it as a sovereign entity and also recognize the currency Ojukwu printed? Can you exchange the currency at the border with any African currency at the border? So your claim of sovereign entity is false.
Biafra was never derived from bight of Biafra. Bight of Biafra covers several countries and it will be rascality for Ojukwu to claim that name for his imaginary nation.
Biafra, just as Nnamdi kanu has told you came from the name of his village Afara in Umuahia where Ojukwu bunker is located. Biafra came from distortion of the Igbo phrase Bia Afara meaning come to Afara where he hid to build his fortress. If you don't believe this, then you should be cursing Nnamdi kanu for distorting the origin of the name.
But what More can I say. You believe he is right in his actions. He is your hero or maybe you wish he is because of your pain that your politicians can not solve. I might think you are transferring aggression on the wrong people.

I still remember the corn we plant that year.
We put every effort and used good quantity of fertilizer. Everyone that passed the farm admired and praise our efforts because the maize stands tall and green with huge stocks.
But when harvest came, those big stocks has few seeds and vacant rows in it. It was a total loss.
Some one said it was witch craft.
The only explanation I held to was that the maize has one filial generation.

I belong to the class of Eruru/Ururu. That's the first one. I tasted shinge/Ofurukpe/Akumbe but I don't really enjoy it.
That first one is a must for all to taste.

Economic impact is the key word but these politicians are not that exposed to know what that is. All they know is widen the tax net so they can boast of increased IGR.
They are not talking of Job creation and poverty alleviation. No plans to recover wild and waste lands and process it raw materials and natural resources.

As long as there is someone singing their praise, they are on the right path.

See that coconut candy eh, leave am for me. That thing chop my money
