so if its less than 100,000 their right can be infringed upon? I never knew Justice and the rule of law is based on popularity.

Exactly. The foolishness of this government keeps multiplying daily.

Patrioticman007:
Na dem, dem want to pose with Benz this Christmas for village. This pigs will always give Nigeria a very bad name, for the victims family & country will forever hate Nigeria. When will Nigeria allow these pigs to go.

Shame on people like you that parade all over this place with shallow tribalistic thinking rather than focusing on the topic. A life has been lost here but not a word of sympathy, very insensitive divisive disgusting human being.

Meanwhile, the joke is on you:

Police spokesman Bala Elkana, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP) confirmed the incident, adding that two suspects have been arrested. Elkana identified those arrested as Olamide Goke and Ade Akanbi, adding that the case has been transferred to homicide unit, State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) Panti.

A tyrant remains a tyrant no matter how hard he tries to camouflage. Buhari has proven this clearly.

I hope you know it's very wrong to be displaying people's personal details online like this.

Only the British National Anthem was played for Joshua while Ruiz, who even fight for USA acknowledged his root by also demanding they play both US and Mexican National Anthems for him. Joshua is British not Nigerian. How Nigerians don't get this is what I find it difficult to understand

Wow. That's unfortunate if true. I find it surprising since he seems to identify with his roots, visiting Nig etc, but if he can't do so where/when it matters too bad.

GoodBadandUgly:
Where was the rudeness? i merely pointed out that forgiveness should be for yourself and not because a deity asks you to do it. Where was i being rude?
Y'all will refuse to listen to the key point and just focus on how it makes you feel. nawa oooo

Your first line to him was very polite then. Good day.

GoodBadandUgly:
Ogbeni stop spreading nonsense propaganda. Forgiveness is for YOU and YOU only. Your peace of mind is the most important thing which is why you need to practice forgiveness, not because a divine being told you to.
If someone wrongs you, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, you should forgive because you only have two options.

1. Harbor those feelings and let it rot you inside.

Choosing option 1. will have a long term effect on your physical and mental health. This will do more damage to you than the person who wronged you because they will continue to live their life whether you forgive them or not.

2. Accept that the situation has happened and there is no going back to change the past.

Choosing option 2. will teach you to leave the past in the past, the only thing you can do is learn, forgive and move on. By choosing to learn you can avoid such a situation next time. By forgiving and moving on, you save yourself the hassle of holding grudges that will turn you ugly over time.

People are entitled to their views even if you consider it nonsense propaganda. Let's stop being rude in conveying our points.

I just watched the video, this is just so wrong. Totally unacceptable.

MurderX:
Your cry just dey start! Better replace that hankie with face towel.

In public discussions, serious matters when discussed at times comes with a slice of light notes.

You should get used to it.

There is always a light side to most things.

Get used to that too.

There are other ways to add a light side to serious discussions besides joking about hanging. There is nothing light side about that.

omakay:
Let this FRSC people tell us exactly what they want.

Normally, a smart phone with active gps map is supposed to be used with a phone holder ( we no need frsc to tell us that one).

You cannot be actively driving and be navigating your way with your phone in your hand. That is suicide and such a person should be hanged (That is Hate-Speech-Driving).

But if FRSC is cancelling smartphone gps maps altogether, thereby limiting us to gps map embedded in the dashboard system, they should clearly state that.

As for the person who was arrested by officials of FRSC for using gps maps while driving, she did not tell us if she was using it with a phone-holder or she held it in her hands.

Hanging a person is not something to joke about.

He better mind his speech from now on......

You can go and mind it for him

This is an attack on SE

Nigerians are always so quick to judge. How is this your business?

helinues:
Local government that more than average staffs are ghost workers

Local government that the chairmen are stooges to the governors

What is even the function of a local government in Nigeria self?

Staff

Angelfrost:
Increasing hostile environment for business will send the few foreign businesses scampering for their economic lives to smarter and more accommodating countries, while raising red flags for those intending to come in to forego such dangerous intentions....

Consequence: job losses of unprecedented magnitudes, worsening of the already shameful poverty index, crime rate increase, till even patriots finally start toeing the path of revolution.

Not entirely Buhari's fault (PDP laid the ignoble foundation), but he should have admitted that this job was beyond him prior to last elections... This nation is looking seriously hopeless.

Most foreign businesses have exited already. Nigeria is a tough environment to do business in, coupled with the immense corruption at all levels including among citizens.

PDP = APC, so really makes no difference.

Nigerians are in trouble.

Charges, taxes, levies - left right and center. But corresponding development is non-existent.

Such interesting facts. Nice thread.

YorubaPrince:
God bless you for that question... In Nigeria, we tend to give credence to stupidity. What the fvck does he do for a living? Someone that just gets free money for being a statutory monarch that absolutely has no significant role to play in our present society. His wives just keep looking good for him and the Public as a fulltime job.

You wonder why France and majority of progressives European and modern societies abolished Monarchy... this is the reason.

Yet, majority of these hungry and starved fools would jump up to support this stupidity and you wonder why we'll never progress.

Again 90% of Nigerians have mental problems from a developed society perspective.

There is still a monarchy in a number of countries - the UK, Netherlands, Spain etc. Although it is symbolic they still benefit from taxpayers money unfortunately. From a tourism perspective, at least the monarchy system in the UK helps to generate income. I don't understand the benefit these monarchs in Nigeria bring to the table.

Na wa for this your percentage o!

Challenge? If i challenge i will not get my stuff.

Then be ready to continue with the situation as it is.

Freehuman:
I had no intention to be tribalistic. Kate Henshaw was clearly referring to her people because that's what she experiences where she lives. My Mum is Igbo and I'm from the South South. Immediatly I made a point everyone thought I'm Yoruba.

That may not have been your intention but the comment came across otherwise. Kate is from Cross River but she lives in Lagos and she never stated who precisely she was referring to. We all see online all the bleaching going on, irrespective of where we live or where we are from.

I for one, do not care where a person is from, just sick and tired of the constant tribalistic and ethnic comments on here which was why I responded.

Freehuman:
There is no need to employ argumentum ad hominem in this discourse.

I didn't say other ethnic groups do not bleach. I stayed in an igbo state for a while and that's the truth of what I saw. What if I have a parent that is Igbo? Or I'm an employee in an industry where health concerns of our little people are priority?

If I say Americans like to shoot guns at the slightest provocation. It doesn't mean other countries don't have people who shoot guns at the slightest provocation but it means from my empirical perspective , I have lived in America, observed their gun laws and know they shoot recklessly.

As a matter of fact I have never spent more than 5 days in a Yoruba land. But the Yoruba people I've seen were more natural than Igbos. Their Muslims do not even take bleaching as an option.

And those I quoted who kept saying Igbos are naturally fair just proved the fact of how much Igbo people discriminate the Black skinned people among them leading to bleaching. I wonder when they talked about the Naturally fair people they were referring to E- money and his family.

Only Fulani's have that extra light skin in abundance despite the high altitude in their region.
Keep suffering from persecution complex when someone who isn't Yoruba tells you the truth.

The point is we are in 2019, we should learn to address issues without bringing ethnicity or religion into it. We are humans first and foremost. Bleaching is a problem that cuts across the black race, including non-Nigerians. Let's rise above this level abeg.

What's the point of having regulators who can't do their work?

When the consequences of these creams - skin cancer etc start in the next couple of years, it will be a disaster because Nigeria's healthcare is nothing to write home about.

mu2sa2:
And this is front page news! A train had mechanical fault a short distance from its destination station, passengers chose to trek the few minutes' walk to the station because they could not exercise some patience for the problem to be fixed and somebody is making news of this. If the train's lights could be seen as it approaches the station, the train could not have been as far as1000 metres away. All these confused eggheads, do they think situations like this dont happen in other countries?

We shouldn't be taking pride in validating negative things that happen in other countries if we are not ready to also compare the level of positive developments in those countries. I am sick of seeing comments like this saying it happens in other countries so it's fine. Hold yourselves to a higher standard for once Nigerians!!

Kastrom:
What's the meaning of "Igbo lady", she's a Nigerian. Op, don't be stupid you people should stop this bigotry. Igbo is a just an ethnic group under Nigeria so is Yoruba and every other ethnic groups. It's becoming stale and boring and I think I might soon leave Naira land. You can't just view a thread without seeing these stupid lots arguing and shaming their forefathers . This same set of stupid bigots will cry foul if called a monkey outside the shores of this continent. Nairaland shouldn't a battle ground for ethnic supremacy, I wonder what seun and his cohorts is doing about it. Infact, you people deserve Buhari since you people are not going to have sense and come together to challenge our greedy leaders.

It's so annoying. No sensible comments any longer and the mods are just watching on, seeing every post become an ethnic battleground.

dauntless15:
They keep collecting money from me, even if the parcel you're receiving is a toothpick, you'll pay from 500 and above, I've lost count of how much they've taken from me, come with money o, thats the last thing they say before ending the call.

If you continue paying it and not challenge it, things will not change.

maestroferdi:
I keep saying it that two wrongs do not make a right.

I his quest to get even, he has succeeded in getting a person sacked from her job. He will carry the burden around like a millstone round his neck.

We all bungle it from time to time and yet God forgives us.

Say no to impulsiveness...

If a person is being paid to do a job, they had better not shirk it and then claim God forgives us when we sin.

Nigeria will not move forward if we continue with this kind of mindset and approach to professionalism. Countries that have a working public sector did not get there by excusing bad behaviour.

kstyle2:
people like you are the reason why this nation is going down daily. A woman acted in an unprofessional manner, which probably isn't the first time she's done that and she should be excused? Her sack will serve as a deterrent to others who exhibit such behaviours. Go to airports and see how immigration officers collect bribe with reckless abandon and threaten customers that if they don't bulge, they would miss their flight. Do you know that if a spy camera can be worn by a passenger who is been forced to bribe these immigration guys, and those involved lose their jobs, and jailed for such, you will never hear of such act because no one knows if he'll be next but we tend to tolerate rubbish

Well said.

Habeyy:
Nigerians are hypocrites

They will never own up to their actions

They will never be accountable
Never

So annoying, I can't imagine someone trying to justify such bad behaviour.

sassysure:
Why will you jail her?
It's obvious u cannot run a vast organisation
I know firs like the back of my hand. What the woman did is obviously very wrong. I never supported that.
That is how it is in hot organisations like that. Man know man. Somebody want to get in through the woman.
She want to get in also but through powers bigger than the woman. So are they all not the same? She won. Good but resulting in sack because her letter head was torn?
It's just power play and she was used. Firs is like former nepa hq. New recruits are used as pawns by the power above and a lot happen in there. She must have painted a horrible picture that made them sack the lady. She is still out there. She has her people inside the premises.
U don't excel in institutions like firs with emotions but logic. don't make yourself available for chess masters. U will be destroyed and the chess play continues.

Painted a picture how?
Is it not the ACTIONS of the woman we are talking about here? Please please please let us all learn to be accountable for our actions instead of trying to blame someone else.

As for your first comment, when you establish your own company, you can run it with sentiments. Any successful organisation has rules and regulations and they MUST be followed.
