I don't know what actually transpired between the Nigeria police and gistlover, but, if I was at the helm of affairs of the Nigeria police, I'll make a scape goat of the editor(s) of gistlover.

But you will not make scapegoat of the Jos terrorists that murdered hundreds, not even a statement of efforts to catch them. You will not make scapegoats of kidnappers that have taken over our expressways and have now moved into the city. You will not make scapegoat of politicians stealing the country blind with reckless abandon. Its bloggers and editors that you want to waste limited money, resources and personnel to be making scapegoat.

Even the FBI with 100 times the budget of EFCC and police do not have time to be running after small time 419 boys and romance scammers in the US, but here the police and EFCC waste all their time and energy running after small boys doing romance scams.

Shouldn't that be a civil case. If someone made a criminal complaint against them,why are they being paraded?

Me I know be lawyer o, but I no see the crime. What exactly is cyber stalking, and where is it stated in our criminal statutes.
To my understanding, the worst they can be charged for is libel, which is a civil offence and not a criminal one, but then I am unlearned.

Donald Trump was cleared of any wrong doing by the witnesses

How did what you posted clear Trump of anything.
The person said "I can't remember" and you scream eureka, he cleared Trump of any wrong doing. MAGAs have filters in their eyes and ears that filters out any negative report on Trump and converts it to positive before their brains process the information.

Over 24 women have come out to accuse Trump of rape. They cannot process that. Many have taken him to court. He was found liable in one of the cases. One of the Jane Does accused Trump and Epstein of raping her and actually took the case to court, but withdrew the case suddenly just before the 2016 elections ( remember hush payments). Trump himself said outlined his relationship and friendship with Epstein - “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side". MAGAs brains are incapable of processing such information. It's only Clinton that they can process.

Obrigardo:
Meanwhile your criminal god is cited multiple times in the Epstein flight logs.

You have no shame, idiot.

I said it before Clinton, criminal trump, , rfk jnr and all other pedophiles should face the wrath of the children they have destroyed.

But you don't have the moral standing to say the same. What a sad pathetic human being you are.

For a MAGA to say anything against Trump, You are asking for the impossible. He could "Grab dem by the pusssy" in broad day light in the middle of 5th avenue, they would worship him more. Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz and others are birds on the same feather in terms of promiscuity, but Fox News and MAGA will try to exonerate Trump while crucifying Clinton.

More credence that the indictment of Trump is a complete sham. Jack Smith files a motion preventing trump from.introducing additional evidence to what Jack ha gathered. How rich. You are charged, exculpatory evidence is kept from the jury. The court ivit grants him this effort means only that Jack's evidence is the only one to be considered.
If there is evidence that feds were active in the crowd formenting chaos , then he does not want the jury to see that..
As one example Jack' an Colorado quote Trump saying " fight like hell' as evidence he told the crowd to be violent. They skip a major thing he exhorted his supporters to march and protest peacefully. Again fight like hell never means go rough things up.
At the same time Twitter deleted a tweet from Trump telling his supporters to go home once the chaos got out of hand.

Another wacky crazy claim by maga. Jack Smith never (and could never in the US justice system) ask the court to prevent Trump from presenting actual evidence. What Jack smith is asking for is for him to present argument and evidence to defend the allegations against him, and not take the court through the same baseless claims he has been spewing in campaign speeches. Jack Smith doesn't want the case to become a political or campaign argument. It will derail the whole court case.

As the special counsel’s motion put it, Trump’s defense should be barred from “raising irrelevant political issues or arguments in front of the jury. … In addition to being wrong, these allegations are irrelevant to the jury’s determination of the defendant’s guilt or innocence, would be prejudicial if presented to the jury, and must be excluded.”

What counts as “irrelevant political issues or arguments”? Well, Smith wants the judge to bar Trump from offering 10 different forms of evidence at the trial, virtually all of them foreshadowed by Trump’s messaging to the public.

For example, Smith noted that “the defendant has signaled his intention to blame the events of January 6 on the Capitol Police, National Guard, and the District’s Mayor.” He asked Judge Chutkan to bar Trump from doing so during his trial.
As Smith writes: A bank robber cannot defend himself by blaming the bank’s security guard for failing to stop him … and the defendant cannot argue that law enforcement should have prevented the violence he caused and obstruction he intended.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/12/trump-special-counsel-jack-smith-january-6-trial-motion.html

You think if Trump have actual evidence to defend himself, you think fox news and other right wing Conservative media would not have inundated us with them.

You get paid to lie I think. Or you are simply brainwashed.

Ray Epps violently ushed a sign towards capitol police.
As the sign passed over people's heads, several people touched it.
FBI charged several with aiming an enormous battering ram at law enforcement.Ray Epps is the guy who pushed it ,others were jailed for his actions.



Trump supporters are serving prison sentences for touching a massive Trump sign that was moved toward police at a barricade. Several video angles show Epps holding the signshing this sign directly at police and then pushing the crowd as the sign moved toward the police line."

Anyone who touched the sign — an enormous battering ram,” according to prosecutors — was denied bond and subject to lengthy prison sentences. With the exception of Epps.

I tried to avoid arguing with you because it's like arguing with a pre-recorded message. You just spew one baseless and crazy claim to another. Once the claims are debunked, you search the inner part of the Internet for crazy right wing sites that spew even crazier claims.
I honestly believe your desperation goes beyond Trump worship, there most be some financial motivation involved.
The Ray Epps conspiracy claims is now about sign (I don't even understand what sign you are talking about), but if it's about the flag he was holding, several thousand people came with flags. A few uses the flag pole to assault police officers and were prosecuted appropriately. If Ray Epps assaulted a police officer and was not charged, that's not even evidence that he is an undercover FBI agent with a mission to disrupt the congress from certifying the election.

Ray Epps has taken Fox to court. They now have the opportunity under oath to present their evidence that Ray Epps was ever an FBI agent. Even you MAGA crazies can use the FOI act to request his employment history or ask the court subpoena his employment history.

You crazies make it seem as if the FBI (under Trump) was out to get Trump and his supporters. You make it seem that it's the FBI that is the prosecutor, judge and jury, that sentences any US citizen (or MAGA) they don't like. I won't be surprised if you crazies also accuse the whole US judiciary of being part of the deep state against Trump.

bemeruca:
Sure... But was part of the riot. A lot of people who were not close to the capitol building was arrested. Keep supporting a maga and claiming you are not supporting him tds

About 10,000 people entered (trespassed) the Capitol grounds, of this number only about 1200 that entered the capitol building itself were prosecuted.
See more details here.

As of October 13, 2021, more than 100 defendants—of the over 630 individuals charged thus far—had entered guilty pleas.[35] By the end of July 2023, 629 defendants had pleaded guilty, and 129 others went to trial. Of those that went to trial, 87 defendants were convicted of all charges, 40 defendants received mixed verdicts (convicted of at least one charge, and acquitted or a hung jury on at least one charge), and two were acquitted of all charges.[36] Hundreds were still awaiting trial or sentencing.[37]

In February 2021, federal officials estimate that about ten thousand rioters entered the Capitol grounds;[38] in December, the Secret Service and FBI have estimated that about 1,200 ultimately entered the building.[39] As of that October, approximately 250 people were still wanted for assaulting police officers.

Ray Epps case was nothing extra ordinary or special.

bemeruca:
Smh

I shake my head for you in shame. A president that organise a protest/riot to stop the certification of an election instead of going through the legal process is not fit to be a president.
Elections in Nigeria are rigged in broad day light, if losers incite his supporters to protest/riot to prevent INEC from certifying the results, we will not gave a country today.

Trump worship is a disease of the mind, worse than schizophrenia.

bemeruca:
No, he is a living proof that the feds was behind what was happening. They charged grandma tom for trespassing but the FBI is doing everything they can to hide evidence about a man who is believed to be a plant in the crowd. Everyone started talking about him when the FBI had no interest in going after the man who was on video asking people to storm the capitol building.

Ray eps does not deflect from trump, he is only an evidence of actors in the crowd.

TDS does not make you think straight.

If the left wing media and you and your TDS friends are defending the most prominent figure asking people to storm the building, then he is a fed. People who took photos at the steps of the building got charged. As long as the media is saying leave a MAGA alone who was part of the riot tells you all you have to know

Ray Epps did not step into the Capitol building. He only trespassed on the grounds of the Capitol. That's why his own charge was a lesser degree than others that actually broke into the Capitol building itself and started vandalising the legislative chambers. If the FBI should charge all those that trespassed on the Capitol grounds, the figures would be in the thousands, possibly close to 10,000.

bemeruca:
I am calling your Party analogy bad because it does not apply to this situation.
He asked them to make their voices heard and be peaceful. You cannot peacefully stop a process where there are guards. He never asked them to stop any process.

Lies. You guys can lie even in the face of clear video and audio evidence.

So provide evidence where he asked them to stop the process.

bemeruca:
Why are you guys supporting him? He was caught, right? People called him what he is. Is he a fed? They ask! Why is he the one that you guys are defending? Was his hat abamade?

Filing a defamation lawsuit does not mean he did not do what he was doing. The question I am putting to you is: If people are locked up for asking people to riot and storm the building, something Trump did not do but you're claiming he did because of Trump Derangement Syndrome, yet the one man who was on video doing it is the one man y'all are supporting, then Zendi is 100% correct.

No one is supporting him. Most people had not even heard of him until you guys brought up his name.
In am desperate attempt to defend trump and exonerate him from planing and executing the January 6 coup, you guys spawn all sorts of conspiracy theories. First it was antifa that organized and carried out the Riots. When there was no iota of evidence, you guys switched to FBI. Fox news and Tucker Carlson then brought up a certain Ray Epps as an FBI mole as being responsible for the violent attack on the Capitol.
All these claim without an iota of evidence. The only evidence Tucker Carlson presented were video clips of Ray Epps urging rioters to go into the Capitol, even though he himself did not enter the Capitol building. Now the same Ray Epps has taken Fox News to court to prove he is an FBI mole and he is responsible for the attack on the Capitol.

Trump on the other hand is being charged for being responsible for January 6 Riots and 3 other illegal efforts to over turn the 2019 elections which he lost. He has the opportunity to defend himself, but instead he and his MAGA worshipers whining like cry babies.

bemeruca:
So this happened in 2020 abi 2021. Why haven't you given them the evidence so they can lock him up?

This is because Trump has been employing his famed delay tactics in slowing the legal process. He has employed his enormous influence to stall every process of the investigations and trial. Even up till now his lawyers are fighting a quick resolution of the various court trials. He is hoping to stall the trials until after the elections and then claim immunity if he wins the presidency.

bemeruca:
The one Maga that was caught asking people to storm the building on video was the one Budaatum CNN and you guys were defending 🤣 he was putting on a Maga hat but you guys love him nonetheless

I hope you are aware that the one Maga that was caught asking people to storm the building whom you Ultra Magas accuse of being an FBI mole has filed a defamation lawsuits against Fox News. So fox news is being provided with opportunity to prove the allegations in court.

DeepSight:
Just listened watched the link. To be fair it does not suggest he thought the SS could be up to any hanky panky. It says he didnt like the optics of him fleeing the capitol.

Please listen again;
"The head of his secret service Tim had said, I assure you we are not going to drive out of the building without your permission. And the Vice President had said something to the effect of, Tim,I know you, I trust you, but you are not the one behind the wheel. "
So you see Mike Pence at that moment did not trust the secret service personnel in his detail.

The coup was well planned but it did not succeed due to the patriotic sacrifice of Congress Police officers and pure luck.
Trump made many contingency plans. The main plan was for the Vice President to reject the original electors and count the fake electors provided by Trump or in the alternative for him to send the electors back to the states, buying time for Trump to manipulate the process. Since Pence failed to go along with the plan, the next contingency was to stop Pence and the Congress from certifying the results through violence. If Pence was killed or injured he would not be in a position to preside over Congress. The next in line - the speaker was also targeted
If she too was killed or incapacitated, then there would be a power vacuum. No Congress, no Vice president, no speaker. Wonder why they went directly for Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.
If there was no congress to certify the results and no Speaker to take over on January 20th, Trump continues as President.

DeepSight:
On point. Trumpists are the real evidence for mankind's capacity for worshipful delusion.
However, I didnt know of the bold. Pls shed some light.

The secret service wanted to drive Pence away from the Capitol building at the heat of the Insurrection. He refused to get into the car because he did not trust the secret service personnel driving the car.
https://youtube.com/shorts/C4tivPraEBk?si=3nT_CDj4BewCidDW

If Pence had left the Capitol thar day, the US would have been in a constitutional crisis, because January 6th was the last day for the certification of the elections by Congress. That was exactly what Trump wanted to achieve.

Obrigardo:
Don't be stupid. The evidence we have so far is just too bare and incriminating for the criminal. A stupid and detached from reality comment here does not change that fact.

How many maga cultists are in jail?
How many criminal trump lawyers pleading with prosecutors?
How many GOP congressmen asked criminal trump for pardons before the Jan 6th Insurrection? (Have you asked yourself that - why did they ask for pardons?

There's so much more, but I don't want to waste my time on an idiot .

Fûck all the way off.

MAGAs are conclusive proof that Homo Sapiens have an insatiable urge to worship. They started by worshipping the sun and the planets, they moved to worshipping animals, trees and inanimate objects like stone, statues, mountains, rivers, etc. Finally they ended up worshipping mere mortals - powerful men including evil ones.

MAGAs make every excuse to justify their worship of him. Steve Bannon had hinted us long before the elections that Trump will never concede the elections. (He had never conceded any election he lost or thought he lost). The plan for holding onto power illegally has been in place even before the elections. The plan was to cause chaos during the certification and have the Vice President either recognise Trump's selected electors or have him delay the certification by sending the electors back to the states. What foiled the coup was Pence refusal to go along, and for that MAGAs were ready to hang Mike Pence. Imagine a whole US vice president running for his life from MAGAs and a section of the secret service.
The ppan failed, and instead of Trump to face prosecutions, MAGAs are minimising the coup (some call it Insurrection) and calling it a mere tour of the Capitol.

bemeruca:

zendi:
On J6, Trump organized a Rally, not a Riot. However, a number of lawbreakers turned a part of the lawful Rally to Riots and Trespassing. Those who took part in the lawbreaking should be held accountable.
But molehils should be prosecuted as molehills, not as mountains.
Secondly, the organizer of the officially authorized Rally should not be roped into the Riot and Trespassing, modified into Insurrection and/or Coup making.

If Trump and his people were organising a peaceful protest instead of a violent riot, how come Steve Bannon said in thus podcast a day before "all he'll is going to break loose tomorrow"

It really is good to follow the maxim we were taught in school - "Audi alterem partem" - Always "hear the other side."

As I said earlier, Emeka showed love to his wife and children the best way he could. He sponsored his wife from JAMB to Master's degree, he opened two businesses for her, one being be school since she is a qualified educator. This boy that's is badmouthing Emeka up and down got the best education money can buy in Nigeria. Emeka sent him to Turkish international school, that's one of the most expensive secondary schools in Nigeria. He paid to get him into university in Abuja.
Now you can understand Emeka's frustrations when one day the boy called his father that he no longer wants to continue going to school, but wants to be a musician. To make matters worse the boy is working as a waiter in a restaurant in Lagos. Any Nigerian father that loves his child will be livid.

Yes Emeka overreacted in the audio clip we heard, but the context of the conversation was never revealed. The mother just played the clip to fit her narrative. Why did she not play the whole audio conversation? I am sure the call was a set up. She already knew how Emeka would react and decided to record the conversation of the son telling his father that he has dropped out of school.

I know emeka ika has his own demons as no one is perfect, and no marriage is without its dark cupboard, but the wife is manipulating the children and public against her ex husband to gain sympathy.

Watch this Daddy freeze interview to gain further insights.

No African mother will reject a successful son unless she's a witch.

The joy of every mother is to see her sons progress.


So, a 22 year old 200 level student should be broke and poor in Nigeria?
I bought my first land in 300 level.

This is the problem with Nigerians. The reason police profile a young boy driving a car as yahoo boy.

Young boys are making money without yahoo. Yahoo is not the only means of making money online.

As a student, learn a skill while studying. Don't always depend on your parents.

You must be a yahoo boy.
So you want to tell me that a mother would not know her son well enough to know his earning capacity. That she was not aware of the skills he has acquired that can make him a millionaire in such a short time.

Yes. That's the first interview I saw that made me sympathetic to her.

I changed my mind after seeing this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ5fg6q6SEM?si=bNS3BPNtpg_Jrqp4

To me this this the most important point of her interview;
"Actually, I wanted to be an actress. That’s why I became his friend. I was modelling at that point, I just came out of secondary school. I was 18. Then I met him along the line, I was looking for someone who could put me through the industry and all that. He categorically told me I couldn't act because it will destroy our relationship. Because at that time we had gotten into a relationship.....
...He stopped my modelling career."

She never loved him.

And so what, isn't wizkid a drop-out. Can't his son dictate his future? Abeg

You are talking like you are not a nigerian. If you were a Nigeria, you will understand the mentality of Nigeria fathers. No Nigerian father would be happy that his child dropped out of school, especially after paying millions to secure admission. That's the ultimate shame and embarrassment to a Nigerian father.

A reasonable child would graduate first before pursuing the career of their choice.

Salowise:
The boy don go pick side which is bad, he should've been neutral, I feel Emeka Ike start having issue with his son after he chooses his mom over him, maybe he had some difficulty taking care of his children in some certain time and he felt disappointed by his son's decision. I've never had that he beat up his wife, from what she said he was outside the country when she called off the marriage, which is very clear they were in good standing before she ended the marriage (what ended the marriage was not really domestic violence). Emeka failed to build bond with his son when he had the chance (most fathers are guilty of this), it's just one thing I've discovered from their family feud, women are manipulative in nature any little love from them seems overrated.

In summary:

•Emeka Ike is back to Nollywood

•We now know his son is a musician

•His wife can now be a women right
activist with the likes of Iyabo Oja🤣.

Please ignore the summary 😎

It's difficult to form bond with your children when you have to hussle to cater for 4 children - pay school fees, feed them, cloth them and pay medical expenses. This is where women have the advantage, they are physically available to bond with the children while the man run around like a mad man trying to make money to cater for the whole family.

BiGVEEN58:
You believe Emeka Ike hates his son? Lol

Go and touch that boy first, your mind go dey.

Exactly! Why should Emeka hate his son? A son he catered for and paid his school fees since birth.

From what I gathered, Emeka's main anger with his son was that he dropped out of school and said he wanted to become a musician. Imagine all the money wasted by Emeka trying to make sure his son becomes a graduate.

SmartyPants:
I wonder how a fight between a man and his wife becomes "our" affairs from the perspective of the child? A man is talking about losing all he worked for and all his son can say is stop talking about our affairs publicly, in other words, stop putting my mother to shame.

Read between the lines.

Exactly. Emeka never mentioned his son's when he spoke, so i don't understand where the " our " private affairs comes in. It should be his mother making such statements and not him, except he is now the spokesman for his mother.

Dumb. Rich northerner vs poor Southerner! How about rich northerner vs rich southerner or poor northerner vs poor southerner?

Your are just hiding your head in the sand. You are either blind to the bias justice system in Nigeria or you are being dishonest.

Go to any prison in Nigeria and count the ratio of southern prisoners vs northern prisoners.

Go to any court in Nigeria and count the number of cases involving southerners vs northerners.

Northern government officials tend to protect their counterparts more than southerners. In fact the "village people syndrome " in which a person takes action to bring down his family or clansman is mainly a southern phenomenon. Northerners seem to have a greater sense of brotherhood than southerners.

Dpharisee:
The average northerner who served under Buhari sees themselves as untouchable, all they do is call Buhari and ask him to speak with Tinubu.
They are using Emefiele as scapegoat and concocting more stories such as owning 535 bank accounts to make his crimes look bigger, why not present all the evidences planted in the media at the court?

Sadiya and Hadi Sirika and Danbazau and Buratai and other looters don't fear Yorubas in power taking any serious action.

We operate a 4 tier justice system in Nigeria - One tier for the rich and another for the poor. This is further subdivided into two tiers - one tier for southerners and another for northerners. So, you get justice based on the combination of tiers you belong. Rich northerner can get away with any thing including murder, while a poor southerner would get the death sentence for stealing a phone.

I personally know the brother of the police officer involved in the Apo 6 murders, the guy was still in the police the last time I spoke to my friend about 4 years ago.

EFCC only harasses politicians and civil servants from the South, particularly those from South South and South East. Northerners are never touched no matter their offense.
