The whole essence of education in Nigeria has to be re-evaluated because today we have more educated illiterates than educated literates. Comparing dollar to Naira in Nigeria is totally baseless because we do not spend in dollar locally. The exchange rate is only for cross border transactions. Someone earning $1,000 dollars monthly in the United States is regarded as poor and will barely survive while someone earning 600k monthly in Nigeria is a big boy. The whole comparison is flawed and it’s always from unintelligent folks.

The whole comparison is not flawed because everyone buys petrol at the international price and worse still countries like Nigeria buys refined crude from refineries abroad. So prices are expected to be similar save taxes and subsidies.

Mumu post, why not show us thier minimum wages and access to finance, May GOD treat u the way Buhari is treating the Economy

Those you are importing fuel from won't ask you of your minimum wage or access to finance before selling to you.

no uniform man in the north can do this to his fellow northerner in the north

In the North ke? The only law they Enforce in the North is Sharia Law. Traffic laws are non existent in the North outside Abuja. I am negotiating to buy car from someone in the North. When he showed me his documents, I saw that all documents had expired since 2016. I asked him how he thinks I could drive such a vehicle to Lagos. Mind you this is a vehicle he uses everyday.

Most times even with all my documents intact, I am afraid of driving on the streets of Lagos due to Road Safety, LASMA, VIO harassment and extortions.

lonelydora:
While I condole with the family, but the question is...did they actually disobey traffic light?

The LASTMA guys even went to hospital with them, meaning they acknowledged the "medical emergency"

I don't understand this case o. So, because the Fulani man's son, Mustapha, who isn't a doctor said his father died as a result of taking their car away, the NPF now swing into action without waiting for a doctor? Kai!

The LASTMA guys were doing their lawful job na. Sometimes I don't understand Nigeria.

Even thought I agree that the police were interested in the case because the victim was fulani, LASMA or any other state traffic management authority does not have the right to impound vehicles indiscriminately. They don't have the rights to even enter your car without your permission not to talk of getting into the drivers seat and driving your car to their office.

Factfinder1:
Baba may not even see 2023... someone that is sick physically and mentally

Fulanis are master strategists. They have run Yorubas Street. The know why they supported Jagaban. You think Buhari does not have the medical record of Tinubu? ObJ used the same strategy with Yaradua (even though it backfired).

The presidency is between Shettima and Atiku.

Gandollar:
Dangote does same but we know his businesses.
What does Tinubu produce outside Lagos revenue sharing?

Dangote ke? How can you compare dangote with Tinubu. Do you know how many businesses Dangote chairs? Even the refinery alone is a herculean task in terms of stress, management and finance.

Softmirror:
I STOPPED READING AFTET I READ THE BOLDED THE TYPICAL RUNNING IS CIRCLE HAS STARTED.

Tell me how many companies Tinubu runs directly. Tell me how Tinubu had been keeping himself busy and in mental and physical shape since 2007.

Anyway, pray God keep us alive till May 29 next year to see how things work out.

This surgery is not life threatening....its leg operation. If ut was heart or liver related surgery, He'll be in abroad now. No one can deceive Nigerians anymore
. We are Obidiently Yusuful come 2023.

IBB went to Germany to treat Radiculopathy (an infection of the foot.)

President Jonathan runs to Germany for even minor treatments.

So Vice president Osinbajo should be commended for using a Nigerian hospital.

Fahdiga:
APC should have given this man the ticket. He is miles better than Tinubu.

My broda, the Yorubas goofed with Tinubu. Osibanjo would have been a far better and less controversial candidate. He is more bold than Tinubu. He took radical actions the few times he was allowed to act as president. Tinubu can betray his own soul to gain and retain power.

Gandollar:
How did you know when nobody knows his biological parents?

Oya who are his biological parents, siblings and uncles/aunties?

Softmirror:
THE BOLDED IS A POOR MAN'S MENTALITY, BY UNDER ACHIEVERS WHO ARE LACKING IN AMBITION. WHAT WE SHOULD BE ASKING IS WHERE DOES THIS OLD MAN GET ALL HIS STRENGTH AND ENERGY FROM WHICH OF COURSE SURPASSES PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN HIS AGE. TINUBU IS A BRILLIANT RUGGED MACHINE.

Which strength and energy does Tinubu have? What has he done since he left office in 2007? Book he no write, business he no run, he just have fronts running his business for him. He just sleeps at home collecting 10% of Lagos IGR and appropriate Lagos State lands and properties to himself. Tinubu cannot survive the rigours of running the presidency.

The Fulanis have run Yorubas Street. Heads or tail fulani wins the presidency. It's between Atiku and Shettima. If tinubu makes it to the elections and wins, he most probably won't survive the presidency. A repeat of Yaradua might happen or president Tinubu might spend most time in British hospital. Shettima would continue where Buhari left with the Fulanization of Nigeria.

If Yorubas were wise they should have supported Yemi Osibanjo. He would have at least stopped or slowed down the Fulani agenda.

RealLagosBoy:
How does this man intend to tour round the 36 states for electioneering campaign.

They would bring Jubril's brother from Sudan to replace him.

TWoods:
This is a boatload of nonsense. I live in the US and Jews or Indians are certainly not taking over. You’re simply justifying family feeling entitled to your work. I lived through that with my parents in Nigeria. Everyone felt entitled to their money (because my mom was a doctor) and my parents had the same attitude as yours. We had to go without many things just to accommodate this foolish idea.

You still have a long way to go to learn how prosperous societies are built. Just because you escaped poverty, you ran away from your families and fatherland to become second class citizen in another man's land.

Jews control the Media, film, financial and tech industries not only in the US but also in Europe. Mind you there are only about 14 million Jews in the world.

Look at this video particularly reason number 6 which deals with community development over personal satisfaction.

Hilary says Trump is illegit. Thats a concession in your opinion. they tried to impeach him two times.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQesfLIycJw

So this what you could dig up? An interview 3 years after the elections. No a rally speech to rile up her supporters, but an interview of her views and life after retirement from politics.

They did not try to impeach Trump. Trump was actually impeached - twice. And it was not Hilary that impeached Trump, it was the democrat led house. They Democrats knew the Republican Senate can never remove Trump, they only wanted to show their own supporters, independents and non trump Republicans the impropriety of Trump's actions, for the next elections. And it worked. The Democrats would not have won the presidential election without rebel Republicans like the Lincoln project.

It is same scenario playing out now. If Trump contest the next election, much more Republicans would go against Trump after the expose by the January 6 committee.

I am sorry to say, you are a very dishonest person. I just pray that is is not the way you conduct yourself in real life.

TWoods:
Since we both agree on this, why is the inlaw going on social media to claim that Victor owes him?

This was an illegal business, just like 419 business. Victor provided the mule, inlaw provided the account and cover. Both have stake and share in the business. That's how 419, drug business and money laundering works.

No they are not ENTITLED to any of your success. Who gave Victor the gift of football? His sister? What sacrifices did the family make to get him out of poverty? The family can make requests for help... but to go on social media to malign him is the very height of delusional arrogance. If i were Victor, that would be the end of any help i ever planned to render.

Believe me a gift has to be nurtured. No baby is born that can play football from the womb. The baby even has to be born and survive first. Many people particularly family members makes lots of sacrifices for Victor to be born, nurtured, schooled and fed. Sometimes some siblings have to forgo their schooling and their career to sponsor just one of them, with the hope that the siblings will help train others. That used to the the social structure of igbo and Yoruba social structure in the past. My dad trained his brothers and sisters. When he died while i was very young, there were lots of rich uncles and aunties competing to adopt me.
Today greed, selfishness and ungratefulness has taken over our society.

Huh? This is an issue that is squarely endemic with the black man. Have you ever heard of Jeff Bezos siblings? Bill Gates? How many of their siblings are out there screaming that their "brother" must drag them out of poverty? We don't want to work, we rather reap where we did not sow.

Do you think Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates siblings live in poverty? You think they are crying because of $20k or even $100k?

This is a joke right? We have failed to progress because the rich don't share their wealth with hangers-on and leeches... not poor governance, massive corruption, political inertia?

You need to go out and learn how Jews, Arabs and indians take over wherever the go. Go to London, Australia, US and even Dubai. They are being taken over by Jews, Arabs and indians. How? A single immigrants would come, and in less than a few years he would bring his whole family. All living under one roof and working. They buy properties together and before a decade, they would take over the whole street. Furthermore go and read about the Kibbutz system and how it help Israel develop from nothing.

We blacks can't live with ourselves without negative emotions of jealousy, pride and avarice which at the end of the day render us all poorer.

TWoods:
Why does the in-law feel entitled to his money? What conduct? Spending his money as he sees fit? I'm not defending the rich, just thinking assuming the rich owe you, just because, is wrong.

Are you talking generally or in relation to this specific case? In this case neither the inlaw nor Victor Osimhen was entitled to the money.

Then on a general case, your immediate family is entitled to some of your success. Why?
Because you could not have made it all by yourself. Afterall you did not drop from heaven.

Due to the poverty and lack of social security in sub saharan Africa. Most of us need family support just to survive. To feed, school, have a roof over our heads and even treat medical issues, we require the help of close family members - parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. Victor cannot tell us that he got to where he is today without help from any family member. Sometimes the family has to make sacrifices just to push one person out of poverty. It is often expected that the person would help other family members once he or she is made.
But the reverse is now the case with the black man. Once he has made it, he immediately start seeing his immediate family as a burden and an embarrassment . He lives extravagant life and feels happy to see the family he left behind living in poverty. I have seen too many of such examples in Nigeria. In fact most families such situations, whereby one man or woman is a billionaire but his blood brothers and sisters are living in poverty.
This is the main reason we fail to progress as a society, unlike the Jews, Indians and Arabs who make sure their kith and kin succeed along with them.

“It’s up to the Justice Department to decide if this is a crime,” it concluded. “But as a matter of principle, as a matter of character, Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again,” The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board.

I believe the justice department is scared of Trump and his violent fundamentalist supporters - ie Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other militia groups. A Trump indictment would definitely lead to violence and social unrest.

kenzysmith:
But d man na still jealous ungrateful person someone u are benefitting from someone who brought u into d deal u went ahead to tell oshimen that he is posing at private jets, doing big boy up and down while his people are suffering how is it the in-law business?

Oshimeh almost lost is life why playing for napoli causing him to wear face mask. Babu dey work monkey wan shop .The sister self be ekpaa follow her husband come tarnish oshimen image dey cry . U wan gain for oshimen sweat and still dey bad mouth am.
Over 360 million oooleeee! Ole! 13.8 million wey oshimen send give u no reach theif.

OSIMHEN IS NOT ENTITLED TO $1 OF THAT MONEY. It for the agents that facilitated the transfer.

TWoods:
So basically he was used to launder money and he is complaining that he didn't get paid enough? ok.

You are one of those that always defend the rich and castigate the poor or vulnerable. Why is it only the poor inlaw you are attacking and find nothing wrong with Osimhen's conduct.

Idaytesj29:
So, that Napoli will be his last club? He get another transfer to another club? Let me remind you that Bayern Munchen, FCB and Real Madrid were rumoured to be interested in him.

So, he could move anytime and command another transfer fee. And he will most likely use him again to as demo agent and that time he can have his pound of flesh.

20,000 Euros seems small given the amount of money that entered into his account.

Osimen could have left the 90,000 Euros with him and collect the 500,000 USD instead. Na your sister husband, any blessing wet him give to am, na him sister him Dey bless indirectly.

To me even £90k is too small. It should have been at least 30/70, which would have been at least £150k

TWoods:
So exactly what work did the inlaw do? Was he involved in negotiating the transfer deal? Is he the one with the talent that allows such a huge and lucrative transfer? Why does he feel entitled to even $1? The in-law himself acknowledges that he was only brought in because he is family, so as to keep the money/profit within the family. What is he complaining about again?

He presented himself and his bank account for the deal. The whole business itself is 419. Victor Osimhen nor the inlaw was not entitled to anything. Victor Osimhen presented his inlaw as his Nigerian agent. The foreign and Nigerian agents were supposed to share the money. What happens if the foreign agent refused to pay the Nigerian agent his commission? Its still the inlaw that has the right to sue the foreign agent.

In a 419 deal both the person that brought in the client and the person whose account is used have a fair sharing formula.

TWoods:
But you know that will never be the case. Once he establishes this precedent, his family will be asking for $50k every year. The problem here isn't victor, it is a family that feels entitled to the sweat of his brow. Why cant he buy cars with HIS money? Go work for yours.

You people are reading the back of your phone. There is no entitlements in this case. The inlaw was presented as an agent to the tranfer of Osimhen to juventus. He signed all necessary documents. The money was transferred into his account. Victor Osimhen used sentiments and scope to collected all the money, and gave him 2.5%. He is now demanding foe his fair share of the deal. Where is the entitlement here?

Idaytesj29:
Thats about 15 million naira. Why not wait for him to have another transfer. Don't make noise about this. By his next transfer, he will need you as front man again. Then you can do what you want when the money reach your hand. Now, you don yam pepper scatter scatter everything

Which next transfer? This was a deal that happened 2 years ago. If there had been another transfer, you think the sister and inlaw would be crying?

Osimhen ran his inlaw street. There was to be no other tranfer.

benalvino3:
Hillary has still not accepted defeat, Stacey Abrams still has not accepted defeat, trump was investigated for four years for stealing an election but trump is the problem.

Y'all be walking in an upside down world.

Trump's worshippers are liars narcissistic and anarchists just like trump. You tell an outright lie, then you use your lie as a basis for whataboutism.

Hillary did concede defeat, never told her supporters to "stop the steal" or planned a coup to overthrown the incoming government.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEiv4gulxHg


Stacy Abrams did not concede, she raised issues within the electoral system put in place by Brian Kemp the secretary of state and opponent, but she acknowledged Brian Kemp as the winner of the election. She did not even challenge the election much less rilled her supporters to "stop the steal"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDeVX4N0Iuk

No one investigated trump for stealing an election. What the Mueller committee investigated was Russia's attempts and actual interference in the elections for which certain Russian individuals and organisations were indicted. What the Mueller investigations could not establish was collusion by Trump and his organization.

But then trump worshippers are tone deaf and blind to reason. Their own motto is trump must be worshiped by all necessary means - lies, deflection deception, violence, etc.

tnerro1:
So if Osimhen is stopped from playing football because of this, will the sister and her husband throw a party to celebrate that where the 20k euros came from has been blocked?

Let him be wise and learn from this, next time negotiate before you transfer the full money to him. Greed no good , that why dem dey fall boys for area

If you look at Victor Osimhen's sister and her husband in the video, do they look like people doing well? The sister way shedding tears in front of camera. It shows they are suffering.

Whether Victor Osimhen collects £200,000 per week or he stopped playing football, the sister and her husband has determined that they would not get any help from Victor. So they are prepared to collect the reminder of the other deal to set themselves up for life and forget Victor.

Ibime:
I know you entered politics in 2015 to not know how civil both sides were before the New York huckster destroyed America. The likes of Romney, McCain, Bush, Obama's conducted themselves civilly and so did their supporters. That's why I say any Trump supporter is a child in politics. Civil politics has been going on since you were busy dodging cult boys in UST and hustling for NDDC scholarships. Just because you decided to start following American politics in 2015 as a grown man doesn't mean it's been like this. Next time you see Americans at each other's throat over politics, blame Trump. Stop quoting me randomly BTW

Trump has opened the Pandora box in US politics. I don't see any one or party accepting defeat again in the US for the near future. Any presidential election from now on has the potential of turning violent. Peaceful transfer of power is now history.
I don't see how the next elections will not turn violent particularly if Trump is running.

Yonsxp:
People are too ungrateful.

You did a deal of 520k and they gave you 26k which is around 5%,you are complaining.

You are a picker and 5% is enough.

You sound like a very dishonest Nigerian. I pity those that do business with you. How can you do a deal (agency one at that) and give the person that front for you just 5%?

Even people that front for greedy politicians get up to 30%

Mercury12:
*sweat I meant.*

So you saying the $500k and €91k is different from the transfer money Victor received? If yes how much was the transfer money?

I felt he just should have one agent instead of two agents in this scenero. It is only bringing in more misunderstanding among the parties involved

The transfer fee itself was worth €60million. The money the inlaw received was the agent's fee.

Whether he used one agent or two is not the issue here. The agents should get their fees appropriately. Yes he bought in his inlaw to keep it in the family. To me he should have shared the agents fee 50/50 and not 3/87 as the inlaw alleged.

Ficient:
Osinmhen forced the greed that they already had out. . At least he for give am 70k, use another 80k settle other family members when go still dey calm issues

Watch the video. The inlaw alleged Osimhen only gave him 20k not 70k.

Besides, he was the agent. So the money actually belonged to him.

tillaman:
my bro this is common sense na, was he not supposed to remove his commission first before transferring the rest ?
This is the rules of business

That's if you are dealing with outsiders. When you deal with family sentiments come into play. Victor would have used sentiments and carrot (more money and deal in future) to get the inlaw to transfer the money to him.

Mercury12:
These people nah thief so una wan collet money pass person wey dey sweet work for football field.
Ah if nah wawulence make we kuku wear one trouser o

The money is the agent fees its not for any sweet work for football field. The money was not meant for Osimhen, that why it did not go to his account directly.

Abi you no pay agent fee before you rent house? Osimhen want collect rent and agent fee at the same time.

biafranrealson:
Greedy in law
You got 20k euro
Victor is still your inlaw that can help your kids relocate and study in Europe and you are exposing his deal .
With this your step , now ,it is finished just like Jesus said in the crucifixion Cross

Please get sense .

20k out of $439k and €69k? Who is greedy between Osimhen and the inlaw? Remember this is the agents fee and not the transfer fee itself.

You think Victor that could only give only about 2% of the deal they both carried out would be ready to spend his own money to help the sisters family?
