The maga maggots are making a grand fool of themselves, it's so delicious to watch. Even ridiculous Seb gorka thinks elon is full of shit.

Basilico is oddly silent. Conspiracy theory market don dry up.

I am not understanding o. MAGAs are still looking for excuse on why they lost the elections. I can't believe they are still wailing two years into the Biden adminstration.
First it was dominion machines switching votes from Trump to Biden, then it was 2000 mules, then it was dead people voting. Now it's Twitter (a private tech (media company) suppressing Hunter Biden's laptop from hell. Can't wait for the outcome of the house hearings we will be entertained to for the next two years.

So what MAGAs are telling us is that every private media company must publish every story they they are given. Even Elon Musk's new Twitter cannot not delete or ban any user it does not like for whatever reason.

Meanwhile Oga Seun and his moderators will be banning people here up and down for no reason at all.

Jakande created a masterplan for Lagos but didn't influence his successors, hence his plan wasn't executed.

Tinubu revised Jakande's plan, expanded it and ensured his successors followed through.

Jakande's successors? Are you sure you were born before or even during Jakande's reign? Jakande that governed only one term before he was overthrown. Jakande achieved far more in one term with less money (IGR) than Tinubu in his two terms.

Most Governors don't even have a 4yr plan laid out for their states, successors take over without clear vision for the state and cycle continues.

This is what they should learn from Tinubu.

That's because no other former governor has an iron grip on the state political, economic, traditional and agbero machinery than tinubu. Other states had to contend with a truly strong PDP who sometimes wrestle power from Tinubu's APC/AC/AD.

basilico:
The campaign looks for dirt on opponents.
Hillary used the Intelligence community to paint Trump as a Russia stooge, which the media ran out with and they all knew it was a lie.

Yes that's the nature of modern politics (at least I the US and Nigeria) - attack your opponent instead of selling yourself and your ideas.

Trump has had some suspicious dealing with Russians, particularly his Trump tower and proposed Trump Hotel Moscow. So there were grounds for suspicion. Furthermore you cannot discount the " Russia if you are listening, find those emails" appeal by Trump on a live TV presidential debates. That in itself is an invitation for Russian interference.

Furthermore there are other instances of Trump's suspicious interaction with Russian government officials. For example Sergey Lavrov's invitation to the white House and Helsinki meeting with putin where up till today no one knew what was discussed.
I have even failed to mention the Trump Tower meeting with a Russian agent Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya discuss "adoptions" in 2016

If Biden did all these with Xi Jinpin, you guys will call for his removal.

Hunter Biden laptop was real, he was getting cash from foreign countries and giving 10% to the big guy. This guy is compromised and he is acting for Xi Jinpin.

Even if the "laptop from hell" is real, how does that implicate Joe Biden? For you to make a criminal allegation that he received 10% kickback from hunters deals, you will need to present proof, not just speculations or email. You need to present the bank accounts where the money was paid and where the money came from. This has to be tied somehow to Joe Biden. Its was this kind of unfounded allegation against the Nigerian first lady that landed Aminu Adamu Muhammed in court.

Tell me one action. one action only that he has supported that dont favor China man

I honestly don't know what you are talking about. US and China are not particularly in a good relation right now, due to Taiwan and China's covert support for Russia.

LONG POST ALERT.
Summary of Musk Twitter Release:

For days, Twitter owner Elon Musk had teased a massive bombshell disclosure based on internal company documents that he claimed would reveal "what really happened" inside Twitter when it decided to temporarily suppress a 2020 New York Post story about Hunter Biden and his laptop.

But on Friday, instead of releasing a trove of documents to the public, Musk's big reveal pointed to a series of tweets by the journalist Matt Taibbi, who had been provided with emails that largely corroborated what was already known about the incident.

Attracting thousands of retweets, Taibbi's winding tweet thread reaffirmed how, in the initial hours after the Post story went live, TWITTER EMPLOYEES GRAPPLED WITH FEARS that it could have been the result of a RUSSIAN HACKING OPERATION.

It showed employees on Twitter's legal, policy and communications teams debating -- and at times disagreeing -- over whether to restrict the article under the company's hacked materials policy, weeks before the 2020 election, where Joe Biden, Hunter Biden's father, ran against then-President Donald Trump.

While some questioned the basis for the decision and warned that Twitter would be inviting allegations of anti-conservative bias, others within the company, including senior officials, said the circumstances surrounding the Post story were unclear and recommended caution, according to screenshots of internal communications shared by Taibbi.

(Then-CEO Jack Dorsey -- whom Taibbi said was not involved in the decision -- has told US lawmakers that in hindsight, suppressing the story was a MISTAKE.)

The emails Taibbi obtained are CONSISTENT with what former Twitter site integrity head Yoel Roth told journalist Kara Swisher in an onstage interview EARLIER THIS WEEK. During that interview, Roth said he felt at the time that the Post reporting bore the hallmarks of a Russian hack-and-leak operation, an assessment that was shared at the time by dozens of former US intelligence officials.

Taibbi said the material he reviewed referenced general FBI warnings about potential attempted Russian interference in the elections, which also dovetails with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's public account of Facebook's handling of the New York Post story and affirms how Twitter was on high alert for possible foreign meddling.

In the wake of the article's suppression, Taibbi said one Democratic congressman, California Rep. Ro Khanna, wrote to Twitter's chief legal officer suggesting it was a bad look and a departure from First Amendment ideals to suppress a news report containing details that affect a presidential candidate. Khanna noted in the email he was saying this even though he was a "total Biden partisan."

The tweet thread also highlighted how officials from both political parties routinely wrote to Twitter asking for specific tweets to be removed. Taibbi included a screenshot of an email from the "Biden team" asking to delete tweets. A review of those tweets on an archive site showed some purported photos of Hunter Biden, including nudity, that may have violated Twitter policy.

Taibbi said the contact from political parties happened more frequently from Democrats, but provided no internal documents to back up his assertion. He also did not say that Democrats requested that Twitter suppress the Post story, and his account did not suggest that the US government had ever pressured Twitter to suppress the story.

Elon Musk big reveal is another Kraken. It did not reveal anything malicious on the part of twitter staffs nor reveal collusion with the democratic party. It only revealed intelligence agencies along with major social media organisations like Facebook and twitter were being cautious so close to election day. They want to avoid a repeat of 2015 elections where FBI came out to announce investigation against Hillary and a few days later said it was nothing. Hillary and the democratic party believe that announcement tipped the election in favour of Trump.

Also Trump and the democratic party were desperately trying to repeat the scenario by looking for any announcement that would damage Joe Bidens image very close to elections, they had earlier tried to quid quo pro Zelensky into announcing an investigation against Hunter and Joe Biden which failed and led to Trump's impeachment. So it's reasonable to be cautious of a laptop suddenly appearing just weeks to the elections.

I see the incoming Republican led house wasting lots of time on the laptop as they are still pained from loosing to Biden. It will still amount to a huge kraken.

plaindealer:
This is what's so perplexing with you sit at home people..

You know so much and you demand so much from other people outside your region that one w'd think you do the same in your poor and unproductive region where your isi ewu leaders are still at kerosene and borehole level.


Na Logos where Tinubu dey steal all the money dey do big things ahead of the rest of Nigeria, but you wey no get Tinubu to loot you no get anything, you are slaves under sit at home terrorist land you get mouth to even join mouth with people wey dey 1 million times above your level... Wetin be your excuse.


Thank God we no dey take you losers seriously, na ony comedy and to entertain us una dey for..

You are an ethnic bigot. That's why all your posts display senseless primordial tribal sentiments.

Your main reason for supporting Tinubu is because of the tribalistic "emilokon" slogan as promoted by Tinubu himself. You different from Ishaq Akintola of MURIC or IPOB or any other tribal or religious bigot.

Once a person doesn't support tinubu, you label him or her Igbo or IPOB, meanwhile lots of "Omoluwabis" have spoken up against Tinubu's presidential ambitions. To you a yoruba is ethnically duty bound to support Tinubu simply because he is Yoruba.

Basic123:
But you claim he pocketed Lagos na and has been controllingthe city since 1999........

Is it hate that is making you make two opposing claims?

The only crime of Tinubu now is that he wants to become president

He pocketed Lagos by collecting 5 - 10% of Lagos IGR since 2007, apart from the humongous pension and allowances. No other governor is allowed that privilege.

You must be anointed by him before you can hold any political office in Lagos.

You must be anointed by him before you can become an Oba in Lagos or any other traditional office.

His daughter is the Iya-Oloja of Lagos. Meaning she collected dues from all the markets in Lagos.

Finally, his ageros are in charge of all the Garages and motor parts in Lagos.

Meanwhile, the past 2 governors that he loves to claim their achievements are not on good terms with him. I have not seen Fashola support his presidential ambitions.

Tinubu's main claim to the presidency is that it is the turn of the Yorubas and he is the current leader of the Yorubas. If you profess that kind of ethnocentric reason for political office in any other clime, you will be rejected. That's apart from the fact that Tinubu is too old, frail and senile to be an effective president.

He's design can be improved upon, by using strong and light weight materials. In addition to other modifications that can be better than Keke. You guys just talk as if inventions just comes out 100% accurate. There is always room for modifications and you think the OP does not know what he's doing by posting it here for people to critize and give suggestions? If he continues with the effort he's making, it won't be a surprise in months or years to come you will start hearing he's name as one of the automobile producers in Africa. Go to Eastern Nigeria and see what guy's are manufacturing especially in Anambra state. Its people like you we have in government and other companies here in Nigeria that don't support creative minds. But you will rather buy a foreign product. So those foreign product didn't pass initial design mistakes? Una matter tire me.

You cannot reinvent the wheel. Except the car can fly or uses water as fuel, there is nothing novel in the so-called intention.

Mubiola360:
Fashola can't achieve so much without already laid down blueprint and available funds by his predecessor (JAGABAN). He said it himself so rest.

And where is this blue print? Did Fashola have to follow his predecessor's footprint? How many governors and presidents dumped their predecessor and benefactor once they get into office? Good examples are Obiano and Yaradua.
The was also a major disagreement between Ambode and Tinubu which led to Tinubu denying him a second term but Tinubu is still claiming Ambode's projects like the Oshodi bus terminal.

Nonybb:
This is the work of Babajide. Tinubu should stop claiming the hand work of others. What concerns between 1999-2007 and the present administration ?

E shock me o. Every project by every governor since 1999 is being attributed to Tinubu by Tinubu supporters. They have even started claiming projects before 1999 like opening up Epe through the Lekki Epe express way. To them Lagos was Shithole before 1999. The irony is that Tinubu did not get on with his next two predecessors but still their projects was attributed to Tinubu.

ahnie:
Go to the bank.
I barely have time,but I have decided to creat time this morning and go to the bank to sort this out.

If you barely have time to quickly resolve a suspicious bank transaction issue now, you will have lots of time and money to go through EFCC and the courts later.

Belteshazzar1:
This is exactly the kinda mentality that has left nigeria broke.......

If those who invented cars were thinking like this, there would be no cars today....

It's not this kind of mentality that left nigeria broke. It is ignorance, greed and illiteracy and the "I know and I can do it all" mentality that left nigeria broke.

The whole business model is faulty ab initio. You cannot reinvent the wheel. That you want to design and build a car or vehicle or any other physical thing from scratch is an exercise in futility and stupidity. That's was not how innocent motors started building cars I'm Nigeria.

There are more practical ways to go about it. You can outsource any of the process, from design to production to even marketing and sales. We are in the age of outsourcing (for obvious reasons). And majority of the source is China, because the have the skilled workers, cheap labour, infrastructure and government support. Even almighty USA outsource most of its manufactured products to China.

As I said, the practical way to go about it is either to buy an already existing design of one that's actually on the market, modify it to meet your requirements if need be. Or get a designer to start a new design (this I don't recommend as it's will be fùcking expensive and time wasting).

After the designing phase, contact manufacturers to build a prototype. After testing and getting necessary approvals you can the instruct and mobilizer them to start production. Production of vehicles or any other consumer product will require an assembly line.

Now such projects is not cheap.

If you are designing and building this project as a hobby, an extensive one at that, then it's OK, but as a commercial projects is a non starter.

You scaling is wrong. Comparing the people to the bus shows the bus is huge.

Furthermore, that's not the way to present a prototype design. You need to show the front, side views and plan.

Igbek76:
You all know,Tinubu is ahead of your candidate, reason you all are trailing,cursing and abusing. He is surely ahead and will defeat your candidate with a landslide victory come 2023. Get use to this to prevent post election trauma.

Tinubu can only win by rigging. Without rigging and intimidation Tinubu cannot win his Local Government Area, not to talk of Lagos State or South West.

Karemarealty288:
This identity theft by Tinubu has be on the web for awhile, I believe Mr Duke was wisely adviced to hold on until it's ripe to bombshell. So this is the right timing. The smartest thing Tinubu's media handlers would have done is to tender apology and hang it on a fall guy who will share part of the blame.

That's what Tinubus lawyers will eventually claim, that the error was made by his publishers and producers. That's was same way Tokunbo Afikuyomi was made to take the blame for the false academic record Tinubu submitted in 1999 to become governor. He simply said the affidavit which Tinubu himself signed was filled by Tokunbo Afikuyomi, and the state assembly accepted that excuse to exonerate Tinubu.

ObiLamba:
Let me explain it in another way. Lets assume a catfish farmer gets to his farm and finds 50 fishes floating in water (dead) and he quickly removes the guts and cut it and puts it in the oven to dry it. At the end of the processing, it will taste bad unlike a fresh fish killed and processed.

And who tells you that some people will not buy the fish and cook soup they consider delicious with the dead processed farmed fish?

You are still trying to dig yourself out of a logical hole you put yourself.

ObiLamba:
I am a fish processor so I know what I m talking about. Some fish farmers think they can cut their losses by processing a dead fish. But after the processing, they will realise that iys just a wasted effort

I am itsekiri, we are naturally Fishermen. You cannot catch a dead fish at sea. The only way to catch a dead fish is to use DDT or Gamalin 20.

You are now the one interpreting what is in Tinubu's mind to know that he was talking about fish farmed fish. No one will buy rotten fish or meat to cook, so the context still does not make sense.

For you information, we itsekiris have a delicacy that is cooked with rotten fish.

ObiLamba:
Killing a fish to process it is different from processing an already dead fish. Tinubu was refererring to the latter.

And how are you going to catch an already dead fish? You guys say the craziest thing to defend Tinubu's gaffes. You guys have better prepare for more crazy logic to defend Tinubu's dementia induced gaffes as we get closer to elections.

ObiLamba:
I agree that there are gaffes, but I know for certain that a dead fish cannot be sweet in any soup.

So you cook with live fish (and meat)? The frozen fish we all import was killed months if not years before getting into your pot of soup.

Afamed:
The only news sustaining/ keeping all media houses in Nigeria in business remains Asiwaju news. They all would have died if there is no news to hire about Asiwaju

That's because Tinubu cannot give a 5 minutes speech (even with prepared notes) without serious gaffe.

emerged01:
Okay! Even during campaign,Buhari forgot his vice's name.

That's understandable as Buhari never knew or meet Osibanjo before he was nominated vice president by Tinubu. What's the excuse of Tinubu calling the current deputy senate president (he couldn't even remember his name), the next governor of Niger Delta State?

Benmob:
Governor of Niger Delta
If diz man win,omo d disgrace he go disgrace Nigeria for world leaders conferences,he fit one day go United nation to call it United kingdom or speak in tongue, than d whole world will know Nigeria is curse and laugh at us.

If they win, shetima would the one attending conferences and giving speeches. Infact shetima would be the one ruling.

NwaIdeato:
At this point you can literally bet millions of naira on how many gaffes Thiefnubuu will make per day, just enough to make you a billionaire in just a month.

(Mama peace) Madam Patience Jonathan is a million times more eloquent and articulate than Jagaban.

gozmok1:
Yet to see the chances of tinubu winning grin

The powers that be are not supporting him
The Nigerian youths with the largest population are not supporting him
Afenifere is not supporting him
Educated elites are not supporting him
The south where he comes from are not supporting him.
His party members aside urchins and paid sycophants are not supporting him.
His fellow contestants at the primaries are silent about supporting him.

Where does tinubu hope to get votes to win the election from.

Agberos, Almajiris, Boko Haram (because of Shettima), structures (governors, senstors, political big wigs), government contractors and of course INEC. If all fails, there is of course the Supreme Court judges.

GistFullGround:


Your mom's man-friend wants to collect your father's property.

She has to sign an undertaking/power of attorney stating that should anything happen to her, the property belongs to you. Meet a lawyer for guidance...

Men who want to reap where they did not sow MUST be stopped in their track!

What then happens if she has children for the new man? Will the children start dragging property with him.

JuanDeDios:
Did the man make a will giving the house to him? If no, this will depend on the culture of the place. Note she can always argue it's her house since she and the man built it. If he's of adult age and the mom decides to kick him out, I doubt he will carry the day in court.

If the man did not make a will, how then can she argue the house belongs to her? No Nigerian culture gives a deceased property solely to the wife. children, particularly male children take precedence in sharing of properties.

The court (magistrate) will rule according to the culture of the deceased husband.

Calvary247:
I would advice you to move out without hesitation before she plots your killing. Your life is better.

Move out of his father's house for another man? Which kind advice be that? He should move out for a stranger to come an claim his inheritance.

victorVIC1:
I felt so frustrated this evening after joining a long queue at the filling station for more than 3 hours without still getting fuel. Nigeria is at a far worse state than it was before you left for Canada 3 years ago....The point is no system is perfect. However, I would rather opt for loneliness than the insanity that is currently prevalent in Nigeria.

BTW, the loneliness will reduce when you get married.

There is no society without its frustrations except utopia. The key is learning how to survive despite frustrations. Many countries are also in a worse state that it was 3 years ago. In fact very few countries of the world is better off than it was 3 years ago. UK, US and most of the western world are facing an energy crisis. Inflation is also ripping havoc on their economies. Believe Nigeria is not the worse country in the world, we are only loud at washing our dirty linen outdoors.

abuhusna1:
Guy loneliness is better than meeting with people that cam backstabbing you any moment and put you in trouble. Enjoy your stay get married and make your spouse your best friend

Get married ke? Marriage abroad no be like marriage in naija o. There you are at the mercy of women. Ordinary you look your wife anyhow, she can get you arrested. If she decides to divorce you, she keeps the house, your children and half your salary.

Oceanjagaban:
You too like to sit down with people gossip if not you for no dey get bored for abroad...pls come back to the village

Believe me some people in the village live happier and more qualitative lives than people in big cities abroad. The kalahari bushman living in the desert with little to eat or drink lives a more fulfilling and purposeful life that someone in Newyork. Its all a matter of perspective.

Aareona:
Earlier this year, I went back in time to few years back when I was doing so well in Nigeria. The noises from friends and all nurtured the decision to move abroad inside of me. I became so restless till I finally leave. The first day in Canada was the day I knew this place isn't where I can be forever. Most of us would have come back before the time we had in mind except for the fact that I don't still have enough. If I want to travel to naija for vacation now, I will need up to $4k. If I take that away from my savings, I don't know how I can recover.

No one tells about the downside of this place. I feel lonely, depressed and empty most times. Because no one to talk to, just everyone in my workplace goin about their business. If I make attempt to talk to them, they just waive it with a smile. It's been 3years here and the people I still talk to on video call are friends from Nigeria. It's been 3years and my savings is still Short of $20k despite how much my friends in Nigeria do tell me how easy it is for me to make money abroad but I never tell them my situation. I can't wait to make enough and leave Canada for good. I know a lot will come at me with the usuall "come back to Nigeria na", please this is not an attempt to denigrate your abroad heaven, just for me to rant out and be fine

This was one the main reason I left London and jejely came back to Nigeria to double my hussle. The loneliness and subsequent depression was excruciating. I remember going on bus round London on Sundays just to cure boredom. By then there was no Internet and calling friends and family at home was very expensive. Friends and family in London have no time for themselves not to talk of you.

Nigerians make the mistake of equating material comfort for happiness, it is not. Rich people commit suicide more that people in abject poverty. In fact you hardly hear poor people commit suicide. Life is more meaningful than what you eat, drink or wear.

Truvelisback:
First, find out the correctly how much she has spent on the house. Tell her u will pay her the money, that u want to rent out the house for tenants, so that u will be able to raise the money. If she starts behaving mad, report her to ur family members. If water pass garri get a lawyer. Just tell her u will her. Na money go settle am. I just hope u have the land Document with u.

Good advice.
First make sure you have possession of the papers. Since your mum developed the property to window level, she cannot claim the whole building. Get a valuer to estimate how much she had spent on the property. Promise to reimburse her for the money she had spent on the property. It can't be too much as it's just blockwork. I don't know if she has roofed the building yet.

Then get your self a lawyer and obtain a court injunction stopping further development of the property by your aunt.
Before all these leave the house as you are very vulnerable to murder.

If you don't have the money to pay her use the papers to obtain a loan to pay her and complete the building. If you can't do that, sell the property and reimburse her and then use the remaining to buy another property in a less expensive location.

My 2 cents.

PHIPEX:
Immediatly Obi asked her, "should I believe what people said about you"? Kadaria became uncomfortable. She does not want the same tag she was gleefully trying to tag on ESN. She scored an own goal with Akunyili's husband murder not knowing it was even Obi that went to retrieve the man's body.

Why should Obi condemn ESN because of unfounded allegations fling everywhere

Obi won't condemn ESN, sameway Atiku won't condemn Boko Haram/Fulani Herdsman and Tinubu won't condemn Fulani Herdsmen killing and kidnapping people in the south west.
