He can name his dog as he likes. When such action was purposely done to provoke his neighbors which will lead to an ethno-religious crises, he has crossed the line.

This is just like me making a video showing myself tearing up and burning a Quran and saying "Hey, I bought it with my money" and not expect the DSS to breaking my effing door in

Dude, how could you support this?

madridguy:
Good, let him stay inside INBOX small and learn some simple lesson in hard way. This is how they bring problem upon themselves and when the jungle matured they start crying foul.

Bunch of hypocrite with hatred blood.

You have been a terrorist right from the start men!

WalkerMichael:
Dear NL brothers and sisters, i lost my mother on Monday such a hard knock on me . I just hope God comforts myself and 3 sisters. I promise to make her proud for life. please help me with your words, I'm really down.

So sorry for your loss bro!

I pray she is resting in eternal peace in Jesus name, Amen!

May God bless you and grant you the means to cope, and the means to make her proud.

May God bestow you with intelligence, wisdom, kindness and love to live a fulfilled and fruitful life.

The presidency bans Twitter and still no media interaction from Buhari.

He can even come on news to clear the air.

Anyways the count continues.

Since I opened this thread, Buhari has held no press conference addressing citizens

It is obvious that most Nigerians do not want a better country

una go prosecute die

ba7man:
Their audience reach has reduced greatly.

All these peeps are trying hard to show they're not hurt by the ban but deep down, they're hurt.

So it’s your goal to hurt innocent peeps?

Why?

So the casual Twitter user that “may” be hurting right now is a cause of joy for you?

Wow!

It was so random mentioning her name, like...

The woman will just be chilling doing her thing, only to have her mentions increased online for what she knows nothing about.

muykem:
I read above subject now with tears almost rolled out of my eyes. I am not support or against the ban of twitter but my point is that Nigeria should be proud of their country, we are more important and strategic than we think. Wait and see how twitter will as a matter of urgency render unreserved apologies to Nigeria.

Why will they have to apologize to Nigeria?

Was it Twitter that decided to ban Nigerians?

As a matter of fact, was it Nigerians that decided to ban Twitter?


I think what you meant to say was that Twitter will soon apologize to Buhari

All this over one man

As I am still parsing this news, it still doesn’t make sense to me.

How can Nigerians be blocked from using Twitter, just cause they deleted one post of President Buhari?

They did not suspend his account according to the info I’ve gathered so far, they just deleted a post.

So the country has to pay the price for that one post?

Even if he felt offended, he could have deactivated his account, or called for his supporters to move on to a new platform.

This is so surreal men, can’t believe this is happening, that many suffer for one mans deleted post.

uptimumOne23:
A step in the right direction... Social media has become a tool for creation of fake news that ends up leading to anarchy.

It's a tool setup by the western world to disrupt any progress being made in our country.

I stand with the Federal Government on this

If they ban social media, where will you make this your comment?

Will he also ban nairaland?

I’m sure most people here have had one or more post hidden either fairly or unfairly.

So if that was a “Buhari Post”, will he move to ban nairaland the next day?

That wouldn’t make too much sense.

Chepos1:
Yes he is stupid and illiterate but have elected a president for u for d next four years.

Could this be the problem of Nigeria?

So you guys know deep down that you elect leaders based on flimsy reasons, and you are happy?

You guys were just laughing like it was a joke to have leaders elected by naive masses

ivolt:
Even though Buhari is unfit for president.
There is no such thing as state of the union address in Nigeria.
Of all the speech he has given before, could you point to an inspiring or insightful examples?

We have real critical issues facing the country but you guys will be chasing after shadows.

If speech is so important to you, kindly send a bill to the National assembly
to that effect.

That's like saying communication is not important.

In any organization, family, or leadership position... communication is always important.

emmabest2000:
9ja police and late coming sha

Robbery started at 11pm and ends at 2am
9ja police arrived at 3am

Tufiakwa.....

As in...

Yet when some reasonable people ask for better leadership that would tackle things such as this, the same Nigerians would always prefer the same old politicians that don't give 2 fvks about them, it's so sad.

There is an intellectual leader in waiting now at governorship and president level, that can push for things like this. People that would take police drilling and response time personally, like it deeply affects them. They could mandate that each police precinct have a response drill, blocking of crucial exits to and from an area. Take Lagos for example, you could have response drill exercises by police squads every weekend or every month, were you are to respond at a certain area and have to deploy teams from all over. That way you see the challenges involved, like do we need more bikes because of traffic, is the traffic allowing for emergency vehicles? If not, how do we enforce emergency lanes and keep sellers and hawkers of them?

Yet we just elect people that will go sit in Abuja and travel out. Like how can you even try to make changes when you can't even go from state to state to see somethings that need changing?


What pains me is that the Nigerians are responsible for this, cause they keep putting these politicians who don't care in power. Always!
It pains me dearly, that they can not give the mandate to responsible people who will actually transform their society.

A few months later and the president still hasn't addressed his people.

He is really lowering the bar for upcoming presidents.

Lattop:
That is international standard

Lol, it’s crazy men!

U.S police just arrested that naija guy that is an aide to a governor and they did not parade him in boxers and singlet, with fraud documents in front of him, yet, they got the job done by investigating and arresting him.

It’s always the same picture framing when it comes to police arrests or works.

The “suspects” are paraded with some of their clothes taken off and guns or whatever weapons are usually placed in front of the suspect before a picture is taken.

I’ve never seen any other police force behave in this manner.

Why do they remove the clothes of suspects?

Why do they take pictures of suspects and send to the media?

Why do they place weaponry in front of suspects?

nedekid:
Ok. This is evening so hope you have resolved the issue.
Anyway, the point I was trying to make to you is that a ticket good, it shows you reached them. I personally prefare writing an email to open a conversation, or if the money is worth it, I go to the bank, get a piece of paper and make my complaints and get them to acknowledge it. Ie stamp it and give me a copy. In this your case, I would have done that this morning saying in the letter, I complained almost 2 weeks ago. I called last week. Today is 14 days later and it has not been resolved.
My friend it works miracles. Even the customercare ladies sitted will have to consult a higher official before accepting it. But they must.
My point is always try to make a "case".
Incase you have to take it further.
You know there are cbn laws covering interbank transfer failures and time frame when they must be settled.

Thank you for the lengthy response, it is much appreciated.

The matter hasn’t been resolved as I was told to wait till today.

I will have to go to the bank personally next week if I don’t get my reversal today.

Thanks bro!

I weak when I read that news this morning.

Reflective jackets for daytime use?

40 million times how much per jacket?

Someone is about to hammer at the cost of the citizens and infrastructure for the nation. Really a sad story.

Whoever came up with this needs to be jailed for a long time.



Btw,

When we keep begging Nigerians to elect the best of the best, they keep screaming let’s try Buhari, let’s try Atiku, let’s try Tinubu, let’s try Babaginda, let’s try Adolf Hitler... mtcheew

I remember watching street interviews during the last election and hearing people on the road saying all those things. “Let’s try Buhari again” or whatever, with no concrete reasons, no successful policies to point to, nothing.

The problem of Nigeria is Nigerians.

nedekid:
Ok, that's great if you have a ticket. All we want is for you to get your money.
If I may ask, was it the bank that gave you the ticket number? Or how did you get it.
Is it that you have a ticket number and the contents of the ticket complaint is domiciled with the bank?

my bank zenith, issued me a ticket for the failed transaction at the GTB atm.

NOC1:
Just drag them on Twitter, you will see how it works like magic.

I'm not on twitter, but I will join if I don't see my money soon.

They just told me now to wait till Friday, that will make it two whole weeks.

Is this how someone will be using atm in Naija?

At this point, is it not even better to go to the bank an make withdrawal than use atm

this is beyond pathetic at this point

nedekid:
Is there evidence of your complaints?
This is same thing we say here everyday. Have email or acknowledged copies of complaints. It makes them act because you have records should you wish to escalate.
What will you tell efcc, cbn etc? Oh I called then 10 days ago or 5 days ago and they did not answer me?

yes I have evidence and a ticket! why would you just assume I don't?

My confidence in ATMs in Nigeria has now been forever shaken

What if that was all the money I had left?

So I would be without money for 10 days now? while they take their time

advanceDNA:
Relax...interbank settlement usually takes sometime... especially when u have weekend in between..
Las las, your money go drop...

It happened on the 14th of this month though, that's like 10 days ago.

Usually failed transactions at the ATM are refunded to me in 5 minutes.

There are even failed transactions that never get refunded to me, like 500 naira to buy airtime from my bank failed, and was never refunded. I just didn't have the strength to chase that one, cause by the time you call or go to the bank, you would already have used more than 500.

but I can't let this one go

I had a failed ATM transaction at GTB over a week and a half ago, but they are yet to refund my money

I have called and called and called, and zenith bank said they have opened tickets and should wait 48 hours but that was over a week ago.

I just can't let this go and have my money gone

What next step can I take? EFCC or what? I know the money might be small to some people but it is painful.

Is this how they take peoples money?

cc seun and all mods

someone please advice me

Grgton:
No functional traffic lights

Even if there is, nobody would like to obey the signals

Nigeria is yet to develop to that aspect

But aren’t blacks and whites both humans?

Anyways thank God for Sunday, one can peacefully run errands

Sigh

What more can I say?

Chaotic untrained drivers, bashing each other’s cars, not adhering to road rules...

They won’t even stay in their lanes

Why are black people like this?

It’s so frustrating driving or going about in Lagos, and God help you if there is traffic, then all the madness just comes out. People even drive in the bush to bypass the traffic and later have to merge back into the road, causing even more chaos

Danfo won’t obey any law, and no justice

What kind of country is this when you can’t even get 10% justice on Danfos stopping on the road, bashing people’s cars...



Defenders of the black race will say, I should be proud of the country, but... like

Have you seen your people driving like pure animals?

They won’t even let you enter their front, for any reason whatsoever... until you find an angel driver that gives you “chance”; a one in a million type driver in Lagos/Nigeria. Where are they all rushing to?


Sorry for my disjointed rants, with no proper structure, I’m just super pissed some situations in naij, and the drivers, oh the drivers!

What a disorganized society.

Black people why?

Have you ever driven in a different country before? Where it’s like a video game?

Then you drive in black man Nigeria and the headaches, pains, soul sucking traffic, wicked evil drivers, and the mostly untrained drivers...

In all this, police sitting at junction gusting, when there is money to be made from catching all these people.

I’m done abeg

Rosskiiku:
What is this peabrain on about?

Are you even aware that Nigeria has over 100 billion dollars worth of infrastructural projects ongoing as we speak?

Mr Bodyguard for whites. Icheoku. In khaki shorts and singlet standing at attention.

Yes, if whites massacred and looted the whole world to enrich themselves, we must recognise that and call it out for the EVIL it was.

And increased desertification is not an ''excuse''.

It is a fact attested to by science and research, and which, if you had a working brain in your head, you would have easily deduced by reading the other instances of the herdsmen crisis across West Africa and the Sahel, which I posted, with links.

Every time, “whites stole, whites stole”

Yet you refuse to acknowledge your own thieves and slave traders, like the likes of Ganduje putting money meant for roads in his agbada and caught red handed, but still given clout by political urchins.

That money for instance, could build a few Kilometers of road, or some other form of public infrastructure, which would slowly pull Nigeria out of the doldrums.

You don’t have to cross the Atlantic to find thieves from centuries past, while cohabitating peacefully with, or turning a blind eye to, your current thieves; a hodgepodge of pilfering vultures.


BTW, I thought you’re always saying Nigeria is poor and can’t execute projects for the benefits of its people, but now you say we are executing projects worth billions of dollars... interesting.


Lastly, why should I support the notion that desertification is forcing some people to infringe on others property when the solution is simply ranching, instead of nomadic pastoralism?
