https://dailytrust.com/why-abubakar-audus-son-apologised-to-peter-obi/

But Onifade said nothing of such happened, adding that Audu’s son spoke with an impostor.

“For the benefit of those who have been hyperventilating all day over the false allegation that Peter Obi dropped a phone call on the son of former Governor Abubakar Audu of Kogi, please note that no call took place between the two this morning.

LeoDeKing:
This explains it all.

With the abandoned recklessness pandora obituary lies over none issues, I'm 100% sure he had actually called Audu's phone line to pass a message intended for sinister purpose. But when he discovered the receiver on the other end was not a nitwit, he hung up.

But to deflect public perception of his desperation, the unintelligent loser is now telling us his duplicates are all over the places. Duplicate you for what?

behold one of the hyperventilators on nairaland. Quite comical characters he and his horde are. Lol

Moral of the story

No matter how bold, smart, silly, subservient, funny, helpful or not helpful you are, people dey wey go everly beef you. So, remember to strive to remain your authentic self😎

LeoDeKing:
I have said it, I will say it again?

Why should court proceedings be altered because of one incompetent illiterate hiding his incompetence behind religion to get power?

Buhari filed cases at the Presidential Petition Tribunal, there was no live broadcast.

Atiku did same, no live broadcast

Even obituarist did same at state level, no live broadcast.

And I believe there is a legal purpose for that.

Why then should the legal process be abused because of one illiterate who can't pass ordinary Philosophy in school? Is this the first time there will be Election Petition Tribunal?

lol...you didn't see the part in the report, where it reads that Atiku and the PDP were stated to be the petitioners making that request?..plus Atiku certainly didn't study Philosophy...

hmmm this has to be either a case of aggravated selective blindness on your part or just abysmal English reasoning ability....or both.😎😁

the person u label a mole has been in d party for more than 10 years but to u the bonafide members are those who came in less than a year ago

It shows your level of iq

see yarn.

That he has been in the party for 10years doesn't mean he can't be compromised and/or working for the opposition at present. Case in point, almost all Naija politicians...Wike and FFK are some of such rascals that come to mind.

She was not sold a lemon, the car was in great shape. When she is ready she will spill the truth, she already said she sold it for the same amount she bought it, if it was a lemon who would buy it

hmmm. This is a weighty and valid point. If she could sell it at same price she bought it to a car dealer, then that isn't a lemon.

Madam the first thing you need to do is stop babying him in any way. Try to ensure food is available for you and your kid ONLY. That guy needs to face his demons, you can't do it for him. He shouldn't expect food when he contributes nothing to getting the food, not even an effort. For every 100 naira in his pocket, he should choose between the basic necessity of using it for food or for his urge to gamble.

Rubbish!

We as a nation should do the same to their citizen coming to nigeria

we can only do this from a position of power. Their people aren't trooping down here. So you see, it is of no effect sef if dem do am.

gforce5:
What are you lots complaining lol. Shey, you guys said that English is not a measure of intelligence? The koko of the matter is that most western countries don't rate you. You are of no economic value to them. The Chinese, who can't speak English, are always issued visas and given special treatment because they bring in a lot of money to the country. Do you know that the Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain don't need visas to the UK? They are issued E-visas. This is because of the amount of money they are bringing into the UK. They have bought off most of the properties in Central London. The blunt reality is that we Nigerians are noise makers who overestimate our economic value to other countries.

this life sef, e no just balance. Imagine o, and Ibeokehie neva come here to dey cap him usual yarns say you are 'putting compatriots down'. He loves that phrase.. and 'raconteur' too, even tho he never spells it correctly despite that I learnt the word from him o. He go soon come now...writing biographies in 3..2..1...


Just cruising by....lol

But really that is a low blow. Fine we no get money, but we sabi English na, what can fa gbogbo arinfin yen ke. For the most part, most Nigerians speak and write basic acceptable and understandable English. Na see finish be this jare

Ok. First, Castrol makes synthetic oils mostly in fact I only knew the synthetics until I started seeing the ones they sell at Enyo stations.. those crappy mineral ones are made here in Nigeria but sold with that name, esp that 20w50..it is made somewhere in Ogun state, buy the keg and check. It is crappy cos it is not even Api SL, when we don dey SN+ (Mobil XHP) and oando Api SN certified

Second, what happened here is that the former user was likely not using synthetic, he/she was likely using 20w50. The engine has become accustomed to that viscosity, and one of the downsides of that is that those clearances you talked about are now wider, due to the wear and tear the engine has undergone to pump and circulate the oil. Now when you switch from using high viscosity 20w50 to low viscosity synthetics which I am guessing you used either 5w20/30 ( I know synthetics also have high viscosity types) then you will have mad oil burn cos a lot of the oil will seep through the open clearance. It can even get worse when the car has sludge and then you pour in a synthetic that basically washes all that sludge off into the system, that one na serous gbege!

The solution has been said in this section many times. If a car has been serviced with 20w50 for 2 years or more, just continue using the 20w50

On a norm me no rate Nigerian popo at all. However, this nigga was certainly not circumspect at all. Why you go slap popo for open place like this?? As in, if e slap am and this shit didn't go viral, case closed. Not justifiable, but hey the whack the popo got could have been long overdue and well deserved.

Now dem go certainly open big book for am. He will be made a scapegoat, even more than he expects, cos nothing wey he go talk go fit exonerate am.

ProfJYK:
Just want to point out that the sample you are working with is drawn largely from Roles we have already agreed to be the only ones sponsoring based on the shortage occupation matter.

Draw your sample from folks in Banking which by virtue of its being one of the highest employers of youthful labour in Nigeria and come back and tell us how many have been sponsored.


The truth remains. Healthcare, Teaching and Big Company tech are the major professional jobs sponsoring easily. The rest of them either don't want the stress, or want you to wither be extra outstanding during the recruitment (CV as well as interview brilliance) or will require you come in and be extra on the job before thinking of it.

Most (majority) of us did care as students, took PSV, have been applying while paying bills with Care and as the clock winds down, we are considering Care visa eventually.

The constant knocks we recieve no dey help.

you have spoken well. Despite being stubbornly and irrationally misunderstood by 'specific people' most times, I have always emphasized how having those specialized skills in those high demand jobs is a major major thing to consider. The bolded esp rings true for most of my contacts in batch 22 (as Pocohantas always puts it) as well, even tho the headbros wey dey this thread say na lie..lol.

Well what's done is done, so you gotta do what you gotta do. ILR is the goal at this juncture.

Take your valid Nigerian license to DMV and apply for class C driver license.

When you get the license in a couple of weeks, approach a truck driving school and they will help you with the process of getting the commercial driver's license after your training.

I think you need to successfully complete a 15hr driving training or so.

When you get the commercial license, trucking companies will not hesitate to hire and help you with work permit especially in California but they may underpay you for a while.

Goodluck and don't let anything hold you down.

this is very useful information. I didn't even know you could do that on a visit visa. Kudos for sharing 👍

Great news! I'm so delighted to see you stripped bare and humbled. I wish even worse than this to all the other bastards that have turned this nation to a place of hopelessness and desolation. Be a good biatch to the white knuckleheads you'll meet in there Ike Ekeweremadu.

I am a 38 year old Nigerian American citizen dating a 26 year old Nigeria girl.
I grew up in Nigeria but travelled out to the USA when I was 25 years old, I am a citizen now and doing really well for myself.
I met a beautiful and godly Nigerian girl on facebook and we have been dating for some months now we are now thinking of marriage, she is in Nigeria while I am in the USA.

Some weeks ago my dad asked me to do some tests and send to him, (He is a medical doctor), I did them, turns out to be fertility tests and all was perfect.
I just told him about my fiance and my plans to get married in some months time and he said she has to do fertility test before he can agree to the marriage.

This was very shocking for me as he insisted that it is his position, I haven't told my fiance cos I dont know how to and my fiance is scheduled to pay my parents a visit for the first time in Port Harcourt in 2 weeks time.
My fiance is from Delta but lives in Portharcout as my parents while we are from Port harcourt.

My dad has said if I cannot tell her that he will, what do you guys think ?

Honest advise please and admin kindly push to front page for wider advise.

Thanks.

guy, considering your dad's profession and the things he has very likely seen as far as some Naija gehs are concerned, I'd say take his advice and get it done asap. Some gehs don go far I tell you, best to err on the side of caution. If he can ask you wey be him pikin to do it, why not her?

Wetin me I sha know be say if there is any direct attack from either of these two sides, WW3 don start be that be that oo. Be forward-thinking and start building a bunker just in case...lol

BorisJohnson:
Wahalurrr

the person wey tweet no fit give her money ni...Let her dig deep and pray well well and she'll come up with something..she has gotten to the bridge, somehow somehow she must cross it. Battle for survival/self preservation instincts will kick in. Lexusgs430, awon eyin kan o se pada si mo...don't be shocked plenty debt dey on ground even from naija wey she comot. Well, I hope she swims and not sink.

Tbh, if the husband had come with her, it would be a bit milder.. except of course the guy is dead OR she damned all consequences and left alone with the kids like one idiot did to her husband recently..if na the latter then I feel no pity for her. Wetin be her name sef maybe na the idiot wey I know ... although that is unlikely as that ish was only about 2months ago

Well I'm thankful. We are growing. The issues that strangled the populace since start of the year posed a challenge to most businesses, esp luxury goods like cars, but thankfully we still dey see our own sell. The new uphill task is getting new goods, prices are beyond crazy rn. Also, for this economy, mattress sef don turn luxury goods oo.. and really the walk-in customers have been quite low, we may go a week without selling one pillow, but with a few supply contracts and online orders (this one has really been a blessing), when the sales does eventually happen it has been high revenue and high profit sales. So despite the crazy first couple of months, we are still achieving our goals and 'mathing' up better figures than last FY. Above all, family is fine, bouncing and in good health, and morale and libido is still high...😎😁

tommy589:
Just like you don't depend directly on anyone abroad, so is someone on subsistence farming don't wait on GDP growth

But if we look at it deeply we depend on each other for survival.From the point of buying, shipping vehicles from abroad to Nigeria, has your car business,at anytime never had little input from diasporan?

my car business is international trade na. Money didn't come into the country, it left the country. Na car(s) came into the country, and I added to the GDP by paying custom duties. As soon as I buy that oil filter and that Mobil 5w30 (black cover) to service it, I have added to the GDP yet again.

tommy589:
Are you saying the GDP figures you talk about has direct positive bearing on an average Nigerian?

With minimum wage of less than $50 for those lucky to get Federal and state employment. While most in private establishments receives less. Is it going to be this hard for an average Nigerian,if it were to be possible that half of $2000 GDP per capital is truly utilised

When you consider education, health and other sectors getting huge budget with nothing to show for it.That small 4% in dollars that escaped government corruption touch lives and goes around than the big 96%

I will explain this once. I hope you listen, and more importantly understand. As men, we have to be more logical and rational than what I see on display a lot here.

GDP in economics is defined as the the total monetary or market value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time frame, usu a year. This has nothing to do with all you have said now about corruption and what not. GDP is the figure showing the total productivity of Nigerians even despite all the aforementioned issues you raised and the corruption. So what it simply means is that we had a GDP of over 500billion dollars, and you have disapora remittance standing at around 20billion (4%) it is silly to say that it is significant compared to 480billion (96%). It is just common sense .

Now like I have said and still saying, the country's Forex reserve now stands at about 35billion USD, this despite japa wave which leads to huge capital flight also running into billions of USD, and not also forgetting foreign debts etc. But to stay on point, we can clearly see how diaspora remittance is significant source of Forex inflow. That something is significant for Forex inflow doesn't translate to being significant for GDP. It is basic mathematics. 20 is significant to 35, not to 500.

Also, no one I know is dependent on any person abroad. I have never received even a pen from anybody abroad as a child, teen or adult. If there are a horde of people somewhere waiting cap in hand for someone abroad as their means to survive, my advice would be they should be more intentional and productive with their lives one way or another.

maestroferddi:
Confucius once said that if he were made the ruler of the world that one thing he would do is to emphasize meaning of words...

We are talking GDP here...

What is the percentage of the population of Nigerians living abroad to those living in the country? Can you compare the remittances to that being made by nationals of other countries to their homelands?

The remittances even dipped recently from previous figures. APC destructive government has been blamed for the relative loss of confidence in the country by some members of the diaspora.

No objective person would categorize even the percentage you allocated as insignificant...

Back out revenue from crude and natural gas sales and give the contribution of other sectors of the economy...

Go and study what diaspora remittances is doing to Indian economy before coming to speak English....

very predictable response. I am not surprised with your response. I have come to see that most people here will hold on to wrong points even if it kills them. Thankfully, basic math won't bend. I have enlightned those before you on this topic adequately well...and I will try to keep correcting some erroneous and overly sensationalized notions such as this one. The correct statement of fact is that remittances are significant part of FOREx, particularly in this times, but is not a significant portion of the GDP. Na basic Maths and basic English.

Go and read my previous posts for all the stats/facts you probably haven't even considered ....but I know you won't..lol. Bye

I hope he gets handed the longest sentence. I wish these evil bastards and all like them nothing but the worst of misfortunes..

maestroferddi:
Negative people like you are among those who flinch at tasking themselves only to become professors of envy and bitterness when those dared begin to reap the dividends of their venturesomeness...

Millions of Nigerians are remitting foreign currency so much that it forms a very significant portion of the national GDP and you decided to single yourself out as among those not having 200 dollars...

Oga, I am not and I will never be in your company...

Almost all my guys overseas are doing legit hustle and they are very comfortable...9

You are free to subsist in your world of ultra negatively...

nice discourse...however, I am committed to dismissing this non-factual statement whenever I read it. Diaspora temittance (around $20b) is 4% of national GDP (over $500b)....that is NOT very significant. What you should have said is that remittances are a significant source of Forex. Big big difference.

Remember the 96% and not just the 4% as far as total productivity ie. GDP is concerned.

DeLaRue:
That 40% salary increase was shocking. The agreements they are rushing to sign are befuddling.

We need fiscal and monetary tightening to bring our debt profile to a sustainable level, not reckless spending.

Reckless spending = more debt, more debt = increased chance that we default on repayment, default will = crash of the naira to well over N1, 200 to $1. To put things in context, the Egyptian pound lost 50% of its value last year alone.

Naira crash = hyper inflation which will finally turn the economy upside down.

By then, we will be in the clutches of IMF, like Ghana, Sri Lanka, Argentina, Egypt, and Lebanon.

Inflation in Lebanon is over 250%. Bread there costs 50 times as much as it did 3 years ago.

That's the equivalent of buying a N500 loaf of bread for N25,000.

All because they failed to manage their economy properly.

Tinubu needs to declare a debt state of emergency as soon as he gets in and do the following:

1. Temporary ban on salary increases
2. Ban on certain infrastructural projects for 2 years - e.g no new major road construction to be approved. Let's do patching for now
3. Orasanye report or a revised version should be implemented. Many agencies should be abolished or merged
4. Sell off non performing refineries that are still gulping tens of billions annually.


In the mean time:

1. Channel resources into education - elevate their infrastructure, keep agreements made with lecturers, and help our schools produce graduates that can compete on a global level,

2. Increase import duty exponentially on non-essential reckless imports that is destroying the value of the naira. I don't understand why my local supermarket has 4 different types of almond milk. 10 years ago, nobody had heard of almond milk, and we survived.

3. Spend on improving efficiency in public service delivery.

A few years ago, registering a company was complicated and in many cases required bribing CAC staff. Today, the process is as smooth as butter because the entire process has been moved online and no.more bribery. The efficiency gains are massive. This approach should be adopted across all government departments. It will significantly reduce if not eliminate corruption, at very little cost.

4. Pay down our debt.

5. By the end of year 2, start loosening the purse strings again, but more responsibly than the current govt. Paying down the debt significantly will help to stabilise the Naira, and help Mr Tinubu to start investing in priority infrastructure again. New roads, better schools, better hospitals etc

Instead of immediate salary increases, he should consider removing anyone earning N40, 000 or below from paying income tax. This will have less impact on inflation.

every single thing you wrote here is just 💯💯💯.

Well done dissecting the problems and proferring actionable solutions. Unfortunately, as far as the APC is concerned, I won't hold my breath. As someone said up there, not only will they mess things up further, but be rest assured their supporters and praise singers will spend all day everyday blaming Buhari, just as they spent 8 years blaming Jonathan.


It's refreshing that we still have some sound people on here. At a point, I was starting to think abi na AI copied answers ni.

IbeOkehie:
Yes I have the time and yes, you're LYING to the max. You're NOT a remote worker and you've NEVER set foot in the UK, Canada or USA. So give it a rest. You're talking trash. Yes, my name is Ibezim Okehie, I live in Raleigh NC and I'm a pharmacist. I'm a normal, middle class American citizen, I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. I've committed no crime and that's why I'm bold enough to tell it like it is. You on the other hand, you're evidently ashamed of something. With all the big gara-gara on this forum I would think you would at least tell us your name and bona fides. I double dare you to tell us so we can get a sense of what makes you so contemptuous of Nigerians living abroad.

I understand your desperate NEED to disparage Nigerians living abroad. Sowing uncertainty and doubt among diasporans makes those stuck in Nigeria feel better about their own bleak prospects in the general COMPETITION with their mates abroad. It's galling to know you're jobless or making ₦‎150K salary when your university classmate in US/UK sends triple that amount home every month. So your response is to make fun of them, make them feel uncertain and uncomfortable. To understand why this is a FUTILE tactic, you have to think back. In the 1970s lots of Nigerians abroad returned home for good and raised their families. A MAJORITY of them fell into poverty. Many of their children are now back in the Anglo-West.

After the return of democracy in 1999, there was another surge of returnees. These ones learned the lessons of the 1970's and didn't completely uproot themselves. I was among that cohort. By 2012 it became clear that Nigeria was still a disaster zone. Right now in 2023, for well known reasons, no Nigerian residing abroad will take the chance of going back. So all the efforts to make us feel bad about our choices are FUTILE because we have 50 years of REAL RESULTS AND EXPERIENCE with which to make comparisons. Hope is not a life strategy!

Nigerians !!!! A truly special people!!!

garbage and unfounded trash talk. As they say in the USA to crappy people such as yourself, promptly look for a nice, dark and quiet place and go furk yourself and the ugly horse you rode in on..

Loud mouthed empty barrel. Lol

Over 30 years in the most prosperous nation on earth and you aren't even worth a million dollars. Baby girl Tems that came from obscurity just a few years ago, is more successful and has made more mark than you have in over 30 years. The Musk's and Bezos' of this world with brilliant minds sef and worth hundreds of billions of dollars sef no loud rish this pharmacist in the US. Nothing special dey about you sir, absolutely nothing. The only special thing you hold onto for dear life is where you live...like how pathetic is that!? That is your sole and major achievement in life, and that is so lowly and so sad. So much for being haughty, to the degree that you believe and defend that 4% is greater than 96%.

Mention me all you want, derail the thread with your puerile rants all you want.. I won't be responding to your clowny assss no more. Peace be unto you✌️ (you need it)
