It is a start. The first airplane by the wright brothers only carried one or 2 persons. The only thing you can invent is complain and negativity

Kill me.

You are right. There is such a thing as incremental development. Our people just want to wail and complain for everything.

sponsor ibori? billion dollar net worth?..are u drunk?......u didn't get his logic.he is saying his worth is just a chicken change to some people

Leave all these ones. Very gullible Nigerians. They swallow everything they see online. So mentally poor, that they worship and label any braggadocios person a Billionaire. Terry Wire sponsor Ibori’s election? As what na? He was a fraudster who made his money running money laundering errands for Governors. Nigerians like loud noisemakers who lie to hug the limelight. Their children know it that’s why the stupid boy is talking rubbish. Like your account is so fat! Your dad is so super rich yet you came to hustle for BBN 80M. What is the big deal in travelling to London or living in Abuja for God’s sake? The bar is so low. Terry wire is a learner where rich Nigerian folks are talking.

Sometimes we keep on wondering where the funds looted from our National Treasury do end up? Well it is in the bossom of strange Women.
Imo state indigenes, see where your looted treasure do end up.

All those several exotic cars and large houses bought by Nollywood actresses and celebrities (with plastic blossoms), where do you think all that money is coming from?

The Chinese are probably building a mansion for him somewhere in Nigeria. I learn thats one of their mode of operation in Africa. They reward government officials for playing along with their interests. Slavery has not end in Africa. See this one that call himself a minister telling senate not to investigate loan agreement because the creditor may back out. Imagine that. As if China is giving out the loan as a gift. This man must be getting a big cut from these loans. Is he serving Nigeria's interests or the interests of China?

Definitely how Nigeria works. It’s been the template since 1960s. The Okotie Ebor template. Office holders and politicians in Africa are mostly only interested in running rackets, and the Chinese know this. This is why they love Africa, and thrive here. You can be rest assured that via these projects alone, Amaeashi is already probably a dollar billionaire. Rightfully so as he works with a president who has no clue or knowledge how anything works. The question therefore is: to what end? Well Nigerians worship thieves, and oppressors so I guess it’s to hold on to power, buy more Toyota SUVs for his Nollywood smallies and the likes of Toke, so that hopeless and gullible Nigerians will continue to live in admiration and sing their praises. It’s a vicious cycle!

At winX we procure and clear customs with our money.

Hi, If one is looking to import some of these products in large quantities (for example the kiddies wear category) how will one manage the challenges with customs and duties. Are there fixed payments? Or just random billing.

He only need to give way...

The team will be fine.

The guy just be like Tinubu in lagos politics and oshiomole in edo politics


Hope I did not shake your table?

Tell them o. The earlier Barca cut him lose and start rebuilding the better. Every top team has been doing that (Bayern, Madrid, Chelsea, etc), it may take a while but it’s the reality. They need to wake up and smell the coffee. No one single player should be bigger than the collective. This is what happens when a club‘s leadership worships one player beyond the pitch. By himself, he has appointed coaches, sacked coaches, formed cabal against players he doesn’t like, decides which team mates to pass to, and so on. This is no longer sustainable.

My brother no need to for headache. The vc bet on the wrong horse ASUU... Or u thought ASUU would support him if he hasn't been doing their bidding? They are criminals Babalakin is on the mission to bring sanity to the system believe me.
As a staff of the institution, I can tell u it's a case of corruption trying to fight back.

Keep dreaming. Babalakin that built his dubious wealth via contract racketeering and political rent seeking is the one that wants to fight corruption in Unilag? Y’all should better wake up and don’t be fooled.

Still on the matter :

See Fayose criticizing OBJ for what he said about Kashamu....

Mr Obasanjo on Saturday condoled with the Ogun State Government over the demise of the businessman.

In a statement signed by his spokesperson Kehinde Akinyemi, Mr Obasanjo said while Mr Kashamu’s death was “sad, his life and history left lessons for those of us on this side of the veil.”

“Senator Buruji Kashamu in his lifetime used the maneuver of law and politics to escape from facing justice on alleged criminal offences in Nigeria and outside Nigeria,” Mr Obasanjo said.

Reacting to the statement, Mr Fayose, in his condolence message posted on Twitter, condemned the former president’s comment, saying it is regrettable.

“I also condemn the statement made by former President Obasanjo on his (Kashamu) death.

It is regrettable that Obasanjo could say what he said about Buruji Kashamu after his death and when he can no longer question him. Why didn’t he say that when Kashamu was alive?” he said.

Some member or mod can create a thread on this for the FP.[/quote]Fayose the joker! But Buruji bankrolled his governorship campaign when he had nothing only to win and turn his back on the man.

hopefulLandlord:
Christians and their fear fuelled hell preaching again?

Hell always sounded like a cynical marketing ploy designed to make people afraid to leave or displease the particular sect. And it seemed to really kill empathy - 'god says they burn, they burn' doesn't make me think of someone being full of love and compassion and all that.

Eternal punishment for finite transgressions always seemed abusive to me. How can someone look at the idea of a being who would condemn people to that and call it love?

Even when I was a Christian Hell was just too weird for me to accept. Infinite punishment for finite offenses is an eye for an eye on steroids. Punishing people for disobeying nit-picky rules makes God an abusive parent. One reason often given for punishment is to teach the offender not to offend again, but if punishment is eternal then how can the offender benefit from this teaching? Jesus is supposed to be into forgiveness but forgiveness shouldn't involve eternal suffering. Hell isn’t redemptive, it isn’t leading to repentance, it’s simply pain for pain’s sake.

I love this quote: “Heaven and hell seem out of proportion to me: the actions of men do not deserve so much.”

and of course I get the rationalisation of hell by Christians saying its moral accountability and saying bad people go to hell;
that's nonsense and they know it!!!

If Yahweh is real and omniscient, that means he already decided that we're going to hell before he even created us. But if this omniscient deity allows for deathbed conversions, then it doesn't matter what kind of life you lead. You could be a brutal dictator who massacred tens of millions of people, yet still get into heaven if you tell Jesus you're sorry. Your victims could all go to hell for eternity if they never repented. That's how bleeped up Christian morality is.

Maybe Christians can answer a few questions for me. The Bible says that there is ONLY ONE way to get into Heaven: by accepting salvation through Jesus.

So it follows that the Christians who ran the Nazi death camps can get into heaven. But their 6 million Jewish victims must burn for all eternity in the pits of Hell. I've talked to many Christians about this and they just pretty much accept it.

My questions are:

1. How f***ed up do you have to be to believe Nazis can go to Heaven but their 6 million Jewish victims must burn? That's just sick. But Christians believe it. What the f*** is wrong with you people?

2. Why would ANYONE willingly worship a god that would act like that? Is it just a fear thing (better known as cowardice)? And

3. Even if you get into Heaven what makes you think you'll be safe with a psycho god like that running the place? What's to stop your god getting a wild hair up his ass one day and sending Christians to a place so bad it makes Hell look like an ice cream parlor? He used to like the Jews too. Or so the story claims. What makes you think you're safe?

Thanks for this.

I am a Christian. An educated one I believe, and I appreciate the continuous search for knowledge. I often wonder, If we as humans can build a modern civilisation driven by innovation, science and continuous improvement, why do we then choose to be dumb when it comes to understanding the teachings of Christ and the service of God? I’d like to address a lot of what you said, not sure typing will allow me enough space to share some of my perspectives. That said, I agree with a lot of your sentiments.

The major problem is, most christians today(especially in Africa), do not understand the concept of God, the sacrifices of christ and what is expected of us. Our experience of him is largely influenced by doctrines and denominations. Doctrines and denominations are dangerous, as are often driven by greed, manipulations for financial gains and so on. So pastors use scare tactics, twist the bible for their own selfish gains. Gullible members run with it and so on. And once you refuse to be gullible, or ask questions they seem not to wriggle their way from, you are demonised and pronounced a candidate of hell.

One thing I am certain of is this: Nobody, not even your pastors will get eternal life by virtue or their own works , because by default and nature, all of us are sinners. We sin daily, leaders and extremists only like to demonise other sinners to keep the agenda. To me, that’s why this Gospel based on the threat of hell is doing a disservice to the body of Christ. As Christians, the best template is that of Christ. All his friends and disciples sinned daily (Peter, Mathew, Judas, etc). He never was judging or threatening them. Jesus himself expressed weakness in human form (he almost chickened out at the cross). God knows this fact, and in his infinite mercy, wanted his son to be the sacrifice for all. So you are not going to “Heaven” because you sin less than others, you are going because you acknowledge there is a God who loves you no mater what, and he sent his son to die do you. Simple as! Every other thing is CAP. Once you start understanding this, you are motivated to build a relationship with him, and so on. Most of what is regurgitated today in the church is simply humans teaching God from their own very limited world view!

Like I said, I don’t have all the answers, but I usually love critical assessments like this. We must keep asking questions! Shalom!

sweetgala:
Terry Waya is has always been a larkey of the military boys the TY Danjuma Jerry Oseni IBB crew.
He is their errand boy for dirty jobs they can't get involved in. Nobody can point to any industry Terry Waya has ever established.

Screw him and his son. I don't like nonsense

Don’t mind them! He is a billionaire yen yen yen.. which companies did he build? how many jobs did he create? Poverty infested generation worshipping the same men who rendered their future hopeless (people who dont care of they exist). Hotels in London my foot!

OkoAmarashy:
His father laundered money meant to better the life of your father and many Nigerians.

It is unfortunate that you are hailing those who stole from you.

Don’t mind these suffer head Nigerians. I wonder when they will have sense. His father was the hushpuppi of the 90s, living large and wearing lousy clothes off of unexplainable wealth. Laundering money for hopelessly corrupt military generals and politicians. Years later Nigerians are hailing his who contributes zilch to the country’s progress. Shameless!

martowskin1:
Hush is not the problem, hush is a product of a failed society. More kids like him will rise up from the ignored street.

This is just the beginning. Nigeria is currently in a state when every single person know atleast another person that is into fraud.

Not everyone can accept poverty.. Some will take laws in to their hands and leave that state

Hard as this sounds I agree with you. It’s so bad the average Nigerian is one fried connection from a yahoo boy. If not from childhood, those you met from school and so on. It’s definitely a systemic problem first. One of the problems we have being: the largest % of billionaires or millionaires we have in this country are politicians and their friends, leaving those who can’t get into office to struggle and fight for scraps. Being in govt or being connected to govt is the only sure way to build wealth. It’s sad.

BERNIMOORE:
isn't that heartless? Yet they appear innocent

Most people don’t know the extent of evil politicians go in this country. The country is ruled mostly by charlatans, occult, dirty criminals and murderers. It’s not ordinary systemic issues that a country can’t fix power for 60years, or is that the constant pipeline bombings and militia or Boko haram? Govs, Senators, Ministers and politicians are respsonsible.

Dele Momodu should go and rest! His half clever views are always motivated by the loyalty to those that pay him at the minute. You hated Ribadu because they invaded your paymaster Adenuga’s house . You are still bitter at Magu because of the long running battle with Saraki ( and he is your guy). Castigates the fact that politicians who appoint the Head of EFCC influence their performance—- but then went ahead to propose that:

“In my view, the head of such an agency can only be truly independent if he is appointed by an independent body like the Senate”

Does this even make sense to you? Blinded by the bribe you receive, you conveniently forget that that the senate is an arm of govt like the executive too, headed by extremely corrupt politicians, but according to you they will offer independence. The same Nigerian senate?

You are not different from the politicians you castigate please! Long throat.

Let's see the outcome. The United States just need Hush and Wberry to tightening there system. You think US are stupid like Nigerians government that will prosecute fraudsters, don't be surprised if Hushpuppi and Mr Woodberry worked with the US Artificial Intelligence(AI). Hush and Wberry will help them with a lot of things and they need someone like them in there country to make sure there database is secure. The whites are more intelligent than African countries and shameless Nigerian will be criticizing Hush and Wberry. Your government are looting you every fucking days and you keep quite criticizing the rich Hush and Wberry. Wise up

Don’t go and look for work. Bloody shameless illiterate looking for excuses to justify crime. No be only US Artificial Intelligence, na US Machine learning. Go school, you say na lie, na scam you wan scam.

Whitewash story. Tinubu himself knows that the party has been hijacked and he can't do anything.

If he was that powerful and respected, he would have used the position president Buhari personally handed him to reconcile every faction of the party to do a beautiful job but his assignment was dead on arrival. The same role has been taken and given to his right-hand man... Papa Akande


Ajumobi is Buhari man of CPC. The southwest faction is now in the hands of the cpc. Tinubu either flows with them or leave the party

Did you even read the story?

Tunex252:
Pogba is world class, yes we know but he is not willing to play for the club and now that the team are doing better without him he is congratulating them and wish to be in the game.. they fvcking sell him off use the money and buy young players who are ready to play for the club

Good we brought Bruno... With Bruno, Fred and Scott our midfield is good

How is he world class when he is so lazy and lacks drive? The earlier united fans realize he’s a mercenary the better. With this attitude even if goes to Barca, he fraud will be exposed. Bruno is making the team tick, all of a sudden a player who has been acting up and holding the club to ransom remembers he loves Utd. He should swerve abeg

J111333:
Hian, this kain grammar for this midnight. Sorry oga, Abacha is corrupt.

Read what he wrote first na Oga. You are basically saying the same thing and I agree. The goal of govt and leadership is to strengthen institutions, empower citizens, and create enabling environments for them to thrive. Irrespective of who is government, once this is nor achieved, no meaningful development can be achieved. That said, I am not necessarily in favor of one form of government over another (democracy or authoritarianism, or monarchy), I believe different countries must apply what works best for their realities at every point in time, not necessarily suck up to democracy because the west paints it as the only pure form. In Nigeria’s case, it is extremely expensive, often abused, and manipulated to further commit fraud and crime by the ruling class so it’s not working. Nigeria needs a more radical approach, at least for now. And not to drift too far, Mustapha can talk all the nonsense he wants,we won’t forget, people lived in abject poverty (Abacha stove and all). Abacha is no saint, he is a LOOTER and merciless crook, so are Buhari, Jonathan and OBJ.

Until Nigerians are empowered (intellectually and economically), we’d helplessly keep selecting individuals to rescue the country, nothing will ever change just a bunch of undeserving ruling class friends getting richer off of state resources. Literally a Bagudu made his money, not from working, but from being among those selected to have state money laundered into their personal foreign accounts, and then the laundered died. Zoom! he becomes eternally rich to 4 generations at the expense of the country (more than enough money to still make him be gov 20+ years after and keep looting). FYI this was how most of the billionaire families we worship today made money. It’s not sustainable.

Nothing is impossible. I’ve given it a thought. The rotors on malfunction shud be able to disengage and go off then a parachute launched.

I am wondering why this can’t be so. Reading that report, this crash amongst many is another implication of corruption (or capitalism, its American equivalent). Recommendations were made for that particular craft following a similar crash in 2004, yet that was dumped. Tech is so advanced that Helicopter mishaps shouldn’t always lead to death. Find a way to have people ejected once at a certain altitude when there is a problem. But no, multinationals make tonne from the current system. They already sent their minion to spin the narrative (the aviation expert guy talking the Helicopter is one of the safest bla bla bla...). RIP to the dead.

Golf Course for who? Once they attain office, these politicians immediately become so out of depths and totally out of touch with reality. A state that can barely point to any infrastructural development despite massive monthly allocation. Sha do and get out!

Elumelu is just a pure thief disguising as a philanthropist.

So, if they want to invest the 5% it should be through your foundation? SME who operates account at your bank, how many of them are able to access loan? What is the advantage of killing upcoming business and starting fresh ones? Why can't you fight for sustainability of business instead of thinking of embezzling through your dead foundation?

In a sane clime Elumelu should be in jail. He should state how many businesses he is helping to stay aloft and how many businesses started by his fraudulent foundation is still existing.

He will soon be dealt with

Finally someone gets it. This the guy's hustle. They should funnel 500m USD through your foundation so you can share 50K, and 100k naira to youths while snappings lots of photos for Instagram. As they say: the best was to rob a bank is to own a bank. Soon you deals will cast. Continue.

Since then I know that the only thing he can boast of is innocent face. The guy is so dubious and sound very gentle.
My gentle and ever charming Lilian really made a mistake by ending up with this guy. Meanwhile this is a big lesson to girls. Not all that glitters are gold.

Your gentle Lilian made a mistake yet she is still collecting stolen money and Dubai trips from him even after all the dubious and promiscuous lifestyle leads are being exposed. Ogaaade, your Lilian is not gentle, they are birds of a feather. Both two-faced extremely greedy crooks who like to reap where they didn't sow.

Who is this Arthur Eze that politicians cower in his presence. I have never seen Igbo people respect someone so much. In his presence, great men act like shy cats. The man has 4 private jets with an all white Americans crew and even his driver is an ex KGB agent from Russia. What is the source of his wealth? What in particular did he do for Ghadafi to make the man give him oil wells and how did he know when to sell his oil blocs in Libya? Did he know ghaddafi was going to be killed? I fear this man wallahi.

The man is a boss! I heard he is to Equotrial Guinea, and some other Banana republics what the likes of Mobil , Agip and co are to Nigeria. In a JV with their national oil companies. Investing in mining and selling of crude on a rev share. If this is anything to go by, that can make one extremely wealthy! I respect how he carries himself as well.

Ed Woodward should have been sacked instead. The board never backed Mourinho.

He said it end of the season that he needed two center backs but Woodward stood against him.

Whenever the board of a football club don't support the manager's transfer targets that manager is doomed

Manchester United are going to be relegated

So sad Indeed >:
We made the worst mistake ever by sacking Mourinho
How can you side with Pogba over the special one? Because of Instagram followers?

GGMU

No they didn't back him after spending 300M+. He asked for a midfielder they have him Pogba, Sanchez was the most sought after attacker in Jan, they bought him Sanchez. Lukaku 80+M, Eric, Lindelof, etc. The Fred he bought, he is not playing him anymore. He was demanding for exchanging a club's future youngster for 29 year old Willian if not for the clubs intervention. He has fought with almost the entire team plus his shit parking the bus tactics after spending tonnes of money. His utd team has the poorest goalscoring form of the top 6 team yet he has Martial, Rashford, Sanchez, Lukaku but no complain about the defender they didn't buy him. Tottenham didn't sign one single player in the summer yet are playing far better football than any of Mou's last two teams and have made top 4 consistently. Mourinho needs to take a break and refresh his tactic. Utd on the other hand needs to find a good coach like Pochetino or Zidane who can get the best our of this team.

Is it just me or does anyone else agree that the English grammar and vocabulary in the letter put out by Diamond Bank is appalling??

Jesus! Did their brand team vet this letter or did Uzo just put it out on his own

I thought so too. Lots of repetition, wrong and unnecessary use of vocabularies coming from a large corporate. The entire thing reeks of a desperate attempt to sound very intellectual and official but done by a rookie. Its typical of Uzodima. He focuses too much on swag and aesthetics leaving out the important stuff. Lots of mistake as well. Not surprised though, poor corporate governance, nepotism and cronyism are the order of the day in Diamond bank. The letter has Uzodima's hands all over it. His persona shines through the letter. For those in the know, an over hyped, frivolous and grossly incompetent, arrogant rich kid who likes to think himself a fulfilled tech entrepreneur. Dude wants to be a tech superstar entrepreneur so bad, he lost focus and didn't realise what he had in his hands was bigger. Merger my foot. Bank has been on the verge of failing for a while. All their attempt to raise capital from foreign investors failed and this is the last resort. Bad loans to cronies amongst other things. Sad!

Most of these guys are opportunistic pseudo intellectuals who are out to look out for themselves alone. I mean just look at the Reuben Abati of Pitito's gang that year. No lines drawn whatsoever.

Which one is "package your Nigerian woman well". Cant the bade do that by herself? Looking fit and living a healthy lifestyle is a personal decision. It requires determination and resolve. It's not sexually transmitted. It takes work. Let the babe not wait for anyone to package her well, make she package herself first. Let her start from the free shawarma and nkwobi at night abeg!

They should help her and arrange one bedroom BQ in Kirikiri next to Nollywood big boy Seun Egbegbe.
