I wonder why Police should involved themselves in a family business....
Two women fought and one was beaten mercilessly....

Which two women fought? Maybe you watched the wrong video. On woman assaulted another woman, the other woman did not lift a finger. In law it is called assault, and the woman who assaulted face a jail term.

lailo:
People don't understand him. Atiku must have made a written agreement with him to honour referendum poll on Biafra if elected,reason for that statement "sign,seeled and delivered".But he can't directly say biafrans should vote Atiku bcs of other regions stance on succession which may backfire against Atiku.The guy no get sense bcs Atiku will never honour such agreement.

Atiku if he becomes President, does not have the power to conduct a referendum on secession of any part of Nigeria.
Referendum would require a constitutional change which must involve the national assembly and all the state assemblies.

It is even illegal for Atiku to sign such written agreement.

Hmmm
Being schooled means the ability to pass messages across with minimum interference(distraction).
The whole presentation is so lacklustre that following it would amount to a fresh research.
If you can overcome the annoyance and stuff from this, then he has a point.

I watched the whole presentation, my wife and I had a good laugh. She being igbo can't get her head around how normally intelligent igbo guys fell for this guy.

The whole presentation was done shabbily and as you said lackluster. His whole message could be passed in 3 minutes instead of rambling for a whole 30 minutes. The use of projector was ineffective, he could have simply used video grab or video recording app.

His claim is now beyond absurd. He claims there are three other Jubril al-Sudani, meaning that Buhari not only has a body double, he has body quadruple, meaning there are three other Buharis apart from the dead original one. He even almost insinuated that it was one of the body quadruple that was sworn in on may 29 2015.

Corrinthians:
How can you say kanu doesn't know what he wants after he's told you all the PRECONDITIONS to call off the boycott has been met??

Nigger has cashed out finally bro!

So you are telling us that Biafra has been given to Kanu including Benue and Rivers states?

So which is which, will IPOB still carry out their referendum along with voting on Saturday?

teufelein:
Since Nigerians are too cowardly to orchestrate violent revolution, why can't they starve the demons holding the country to ransom of oxygen by withholding their votes in order to usher in a brand new country bereft of colonialism, subjugation and oppression of the common man?

And you are brave to orchestrate a violent revolution? You think you and your group or even tribe will survive a violent revolution in the 21st century? See what violent revolution did to Libya and Syria, and you want to replicate same in Nigeria?
Election which you guys are adverse to is the only feasible way to get your brand new country bereft of colonialism, subjugation and oppression of the common man, any other way will lead to untold hardship and doom. The world is so polarised now that the conflict will be used as an avenue for the world powers to settle their old scores and project their influence.

fuckboys:
ok, so your problem with nnamdi kanu is just because he's still alive. Once he's dead he becomes a brave and true freedom fighter?

No. Because he scampered away at the first sign of danger, after boasting of "biafra or death".
Maybe you are to young to know Gani. Gani always had a bag packed with his clothes, toiletries and drugs in case IBB's SSS came. He only asks for 5 mins to get his bag and follow them. Gani underwent the worst prison treatment at the hands of IBB. It was the disease he contracted in one of the prisons that eventually killed him.

Fela's mother was killed by the military and he was unjustly incarcerated by Buhari, but he did not run away and continued fighting the military with his music.

Kanu on the other hand tricked the courts into giving him bail on health grounds, putting his sureties under great risks. As soon as he was freed, he started threatening and boasting. At the first sight of soldiers he ran away, not caring who is killed or maimed by the soldiers he invited.

fuckboys:
Are all bolded definitely of bravery and a true freedom fighter in your own context?

Yes. True freedom fighters don't run and leave their followers to die. Throughout history true freedom fighters were prepered to die while fighting for their cause. Read about William Wallace and how he died to achieve independence for Scotland.

goodnessme1:
when talking about freedom fighters never mention Mko,Gani or fela.

So who should we mention, Kanu, Ojukwu and Jonathan?
MKO is responsible for the democracy you are enjoying today.
Gani fought the IBB regime to a standstill and is responsible for opening the political space to multiple parties.

Now, tell me who has contributed more to Nigeria's democracy than these two.

goodnessme1:
For THOSE CALLING NNANDI
KANU A COWARD.
Because he escaped their
death hatch.
So u mean that Jesus Christ
who ran away from Israel to Egypt and then ran away from
the temple is a coward, or that
the Nelson Mandela who you
celebrate today who also ran to
your own Nigeria when his life
was threatened is a coward or maybe Mahatma Gandhi who
also ran to South Africa to save
his life is a coward...
All these people ran for their
lives and at the end achieved
their dreams and today you celebrate them.
So many people also called
them cowards ,but you know
the end of the story.

Kanu is a dictionary definition of COWARD.
Nelson Mandela did not run away, he only travelled around the world gathering support and funds to fight the apartheid government. He went back after his travels and was thrown into prison for 27 years. Same thing with MKO, he came back after traveling to gather international support to confront the Abacha junta. He was eventually arrested, jailed and killed.

Jesus never ran from anyone, that would be an insult to christians, it was his parents that fled to Egypt while taking him along as an infant, he had as no say in the matter at all.

Anyone who believes in a cause must be ready to die for the cause. It was not a must for Moses to go to the promised land, he only led his people to it.

I could not imagine a Gani or Fela running from anyone, not even Buhari as a military dictator.

IAMTHEHERO:
Definitely, you are blind and don't know how things work in road construction. Let me educate you but are you ready to accept knowledge? When it comes to construction of road that stretches several hundreds of kilometers; it is divided and constructed in sections I, II, III, IV etc. in order to take care of other roads because of paucity of fund. Example is Enugu - Umuahia - Aba - PH expressway. Gej awarded Benin- Ore - Ijebu Ode - Shagamu expressway to Setraco. But it is being done in sections. Sections I & II which covered Ore itself were completed under GEJ. Infact do you know that the worst part of that road was done by GEJ? Don't allow hatred and tribalism turn you to an enemy of the truth. Shalom!!

You are partially right. GEJ awarded the contract in stages and funds are to be released also in stages. If funds are not released for a particular stage, the contractor simply packs his equipment and leave. So in reality while GEJ released the funds for the Benin-Ore phase, Buhari released the funds for the Ore - Ijebu ode phase.

It's inside a market that doesn't open on Sunday's and it's bet king. I would have loved to buy bet 9ja because I learnt they have more patronage but I can't get any. Also when I went there there are no much customers that day but I believe with what I have in mind more customer could be attracted and profit will increase by 50percent

50% of zero is still zero. You need to confirm the commission before you can start making any projections.
I don't know the commission structure of betKing but Bet9ja pays on total turnover weekly. Betking might be profit sharing.

If on the day you went there were not much customers and they don't work on Sundays, how come the weekly commission is average of 45000 to 55000 weekly. It does not add up.
As I said confirm the commission from the agent panel.

candlewax:
Rent is quite low 60k per annum. I was hoping to extend the shop, merge two shops and install dstv. I feel it might boost sales and also another cashier

When is the rent due? You will need to put that into consideration when negotiating to buy the business.

A rule of buying an existing business is first determine the profit ( commission minus running costs), and then multiply by 6 months. Don't forget to include a manager's cost. Either you act as the manager or you hire a manager.

It a good idea to extend and expand the business, but make sure you analyse your customer base. Who are your present customers and who are the expected increase. Are they traders around, okada riders, surrounding residents, agberos, workers, etc.

candlewax:
I didn't know this but the place has just a cashier and there is stable light there too. What do you think?

Just one cashier generating N45,000 to N55,000? That is a bit steep. It's quite stressful for just one cashier to be playing sports, sharp sharp, racing etc. Will the one cashier work 15 hours, 7 days a week? Won't the cashier go for break or ease himself/herself?
Maybe your friend handle a second cashier. Then what about online customers? Who manages online customers? Online customers are very important to increasing commission.

If it's bet9ja, the commission came yesterday. Demand to see yesterday's commission. Also demand to see the outstanding debts for today. It is written on the home page.

It's not a big business, it's a sports betting business not something you can just start from scratch because of location. He showed me prove of his commission on that said shop he wants to sell. It's not doing that well for now but I plan to make it better currently his commission is 45 to 55k weekly and that is OK to sort some needs considering the fact I can afford to buy it. It would have been better if it's something I can start from scratch but location is an Ish. You may not understand how it works but I have no option, either I buy or I don't do it besides he said he's planning to relocate to his family and he has similar businessin many places in Asaba and that he can't control the one in lag if he relocates. His wife manages the one in Asaba ATM

I have two sport betting outlets, so I understand the business far more than you and even your friend.

Sports betting agents are suffering right now. The business is not as profitable as it was even a year ago. This is due to dwindling economy, more competition, betting fatigue among customers and sky rocketing running costs.
A shop with a weekly commission of N45,000 - N55,000 is hardly making any profit. Running costs will eat up most of the commission. You pay cashiers, pay for receipt paper, fuel, bandwidth and maintain equipments like generators, computers, printers, TVs, monitors. It's quite complicated managing sports betting shops. Don't forget to inquire about other hidden costs like shop rent and outstanding NEPA cost. Also make sure there are no debts on the agent account.

As I said, if the business is bringing in good profits, he will not sell. I have been offered many betting shops and the excuse of selling is always relocation. There are many betting shops for sale all over lagos right now.

Do your due diligence well before doling out cash for the betting shop.

candlewax:
No. He can't come back as soon as he leaving now. I take his property to him, o don't have to bother him taking it along

Bad idea. He can claim he left N1 million in his bag or an IPhone x and call the police on you or even sue you.

Let him carry his own load with his own hands or get a witness to be present and pack his load outside your house in his presence.

Call and tell him bluntly, that you he cannot stay in your house, that you need your privacy and peace of mind.

candlewax:
The guy has a wife and a kid in asaba he says he wants to go meet them there

And the wife and kids no like money? Guy, scrutinise that his business well, there is something wrong somewhere. No one sells a profitable business, even if it is in kano.

Besides, he is selling the business and not dashing you, so you should have the upper hand. Not many people can pay cash in these Buhari times.

Kick him out.

Mbediogu:
As one moves, so will his wrappers move.
When we shoot at the squirrel, we follow the movements of its tail.
Hope I answered you right?

Explain how this relates to some igbo's obsession with who Yorubas vote for.

booblacain:
Though I hate tribal politics but you cannot deny the truth is Reno's words that a Northerner can never ever insult another Northerner for a Southerner's sake, never.

That is false. In the Game of Thrones any one is dispensable. IBB killed lots of northeners to maintain power, including his best friend. Abacha not only insulted northerners he disposed the sultan of Sokoto and sent him on exile and kill the most prominent northerner at that time.

Even Reno himself had insulted many southerners including his fellow Niger Deltans to please his master during the immediate past administration.

Mbediogu:
The SW can go ahead with moribund Buhari after all it is on record that dead lizards were voted into the Western house of Assembly.
We will voted for for Atiku come rain or shine.
We go with the elite majority not with Tinubu, a man that takes average of 60 tablets everyday.
He might even peg off before the 16th.

It is a mystery why you guys are so obsessed with who Yoruba wants to vote for. Why not concentrate on who you and your people decided to vote for and leave others to vote whomever they wish to vote for.

PapaAdanna:
We betray for a living

If you betray people for a living, why will the same people rely on you to succeed in their ambitions?

The most reasonable thing is not to have any expectation from betrayers, but tomorrow the same people will still cry betrayers.

DrMuzungu:
Mr. Omokri is right. Is Tinubu AFONJA? Yes, he is. So what is the problem then?

Tinubu rose to power under Obasanjo's presidency. Instead of talking trash (nothing unusual for him) he should be grateful to him for not being where he belongs, behind bars in Kirikiri.

How did Tinubu rise to power under Obasanjo's presidency? Weren't Tinubu and Tinubu sworn in on the same day, and left on the same day? What should Tinubu be grateful to Obasanjo for?

BlindAngel:
When u go get sense?? Someone whose 6 of his kid's studied in the UK, claimed he borrowed 25 million from union bank to buy presidential nomination form... Zombie will always be zombie, spits... Tuehhh

Could it be that it was because someone sent 6 of his kid's to study in the UK is the primary reason he could not afford N25million to buy presidential nomination forms?

If he paid N25million for nomination form and at the same time send 6 of his kids to school in the UK, would wailers not still scream " thief" and ask how he is able to do all on presidential and military pensions and allowances?

dokyOloye:
Therein lies the hypocrisy.
If IBB,Abdulsalam,Marwa,etc start opposing buhari politically tomoro,buhari will remind ppl like you that they are thieves.
Obj and Danjuma have already been labelled thieves.
Buhari is allegedly mr integrity who was so poor he couldn't afford about 20m for his nomination forms,yet he is living like the ppl he calls thieves.

All these because Buhari sent his kids to higher education in the UK. Can you compare the physical and financial assets of IBB,Abdulsalam,Marwa,etc with that of Buhari?

So for Buhari to prove to wallers that he is Mr. Integrity, he must send his kids to public schools and live in rented apartment.

Rigel95:
You just lied bro. It is impossible to send three children to a UK insritution on 830k a month salary. Imagine paying around £30k a year on tuition alone talk more of feeding housing and other expenses.

First of all, Buhari did not send three children to school in the UK at the same time. Secondly, as a general, posting and operational allowances are quite substantial. My little in law who is just a rating receive up to N10,000 to N15,000 every week.
Soldiers out on military assignments are meant to receive allowances everyday. The problem nowadays is that the top officers sit on the allowances of junior officers.
A former president or governor receives substantial amount of monies and official benefits from the government, not to talk of additional benefits as a retired general.

jellington:
President Buhari has reached the height of his career before joining politics.The question you should ask yourself is why did he not stole public money to build refineries,acquire oil well,convert Nigeria companies to his own like his contemporary military general.Wailers be serious for once the integrity of PMB is exemplary.

Don't mind wailers. They expect that someone who was a governor, a petroleum minister, general, a head of state, and PTF chairman and a civilian president would not be able to send his children to school in the US. If that is the case then no public officer or worker could ever send his children to school in UK.

shosky1794:
You guys talk about studying abroad as if it's one big thing. Three of my friends studied abroad even when their parents financial status was not even up to a quarter of Buhari's. Studying abroad ain't a big deal. My brother's wife went to the UK to do her PhD. I know their financial status.

Don't mind wailers, they wail at everything Buhari says or does. If Buhari sends his children to ansarudeen high school, they will wail "religious fundamentalist", Boko Haram, etc, but Buhari sends his daughters to UK, they still wail.
Most of them that claim to school in the UK or know someone that schooled in the UK, have fathers that have not attained one tenth of what Buhari had achieved in life. Some former presidents built whole universities or presidential libraries, they hail, but Buhari simply sending his children to school in UK, they wail.

Oritsewhandey:
Buhari's supporters attended Pangolo LGEA, ZEB Community School, Pangolo Town

Which school did Atiku supporters attend?

I thought IPOB people say we are in a democracy and that there is freedom of speech. According to them the man only made a threat and not actual action, so he has not committed any crime.

porka:
How do you commence something from the blues? Is that how projects are done?

The major work in a project is not the ground breaking ceremonies. It takes a lot to get to the ceremonial photo-op (propaganda) stage.

Obasanjo's own contract with the Chinese was canceled by Yaradua. You people should learn to read and monitor Nigeria's development at all times.

Yaradua canceled all the major agreements Obasanjo negotiated then. Many of you even applauded him for that. It took a painstaking methodical efforts for the Jonathan's government to renegotiate the contracts.

Government is a continuum, past governments did their own parts and moved on.

If you people had not been trying to smear others with bogus claims about how your messiah is the best things to happen to Nigeria in 100 years, if he had just continued from where he met those projects and do his own bits, if you guys had not tried to demonize someone or people who put Nigeria on the road to prosperity in favour of someone is spreading poverty around and making you love it, no one would have tried to make any clarifications.

But as you can see, there's no single thing he or his government has been able to do which is not shrouded in controversy.

You guys can straighten crayfish with your twists to issues.
Buhari commenced a projected on the drawing board for years and you are saying credits should be given to the person that signed the contract but did nothing.

In one breath you say Yar Adua cancelled the contracted signed by Obasanjo (even though it's the same party), and in another you said government is a continuum and it is a must that Buhari must continue with a project signed by Jonathan (even though they are in different parties). What happens if Buhari also cancelled the project?

Nigeria has tons of signed and abandoned projects scattered all over the country, are you insinuating that we should not give credit to future governments that decide to commence or complete abandoned projects?

ojikeebere12:

According to Onoja, the farm, which belongs to the family of Onnoghen, is a large commercial venture that provides employment to a large number of people who live on the farm and tend to the commercial poultry, piggery, livestock as well as cash and food crops on the farm

What does "the farm, which belongs to the family of Onnoghen" mean? Does the farm belong to Onnoghen himself, his father or his grandfather?

The if the farm is making so much dollars, where are the tax receipts? He cannot tell US that a whole chief Justice is evading taxes.

Arysexy:
Shut up!

He produces his tyres. He uses steels locally produced from steel rolling factories.

His plastic industry at Enugu produce all the plastic components like dashboard, bumper, tyres, etc. Go and find out. He only import engine, wheel and few components

Stop hating

No wonder people from your side are famed for being mannerless, simple opinion or observation and you a spewing insults.

No steel company in Nigeria produces steel plates, what all these Chinese steel companies are producing are steel rods and steel nuggets.

I don't know about him manufacturing tyres, headlights, windows and wind screens, etc. Each of these components require heavy machinery and investments. It makes no economic sense whatsoever to attempt to manufacture every component for making a product. You will not have economics of scale and managing each production outfit will be virtually impossible. That is why there is something called the supply chain. Companies built on manufacturing a few components for specific industries.

Engine (including gear box),wheel and few components ( like electronics, shocks, ) are more than 30% of a car.
