My friend keep let us hear word. Here is a picture of Lagos before Tinubu came to fill it with agberoes and all manners of vain anti-social elements.

The only legacy Tinubu bequeathed to Lagos is the bogus pension entitlements to fund his ostentatious lifestyles, institutional corruption, personisation of government, institution of multiple strata of anti-social miscreants that have ended making the city a hellhole for it inhabitants.

Excerpt......

The judgement docketed on July 26, 1993, and certified by Thomas O. Burton, the clerk of the court, indicted Tinubu for heroin trafficking in the state of Illinois through a proxy organisation owned by Adegboyega Mueez Akande and subsequently forfeited the proceeds of the crime to the U.S. government.


The funds, which were held by First Heritage Bank and Citibank in trust for Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), were forfeited to the U.S. government for being proceeds of drug-related offences.



If you think Tinubu is not a convicted drug baron, go to court!

They are all activists.
When most politicians were in bed with the military, Ken Saro Wiwa, Asari, Pa Alfred Rewani, Ibru, Enahoro, and their SW brothers were slugging it out, with the military.

Ben Akabueze, Arthur Nwankwo of the Eastern mandate union, Chukwuemeka Ezeife are the visible activists from the East.

Col Umar Dangiwa, Balarabe Musa and Shehu Sanni were the visible ones from the North.

Tell Magazine, News magazine and Newswatch magazine were our guerilla publishers, na dem dey update us.

Abacha did us strong thing, but we did not give up.

Seeing all these people at the corridor of power today, is a poetic justice.
You cannot effect any change until you " enter the place ".
It's been a hard knock all these years, abeg make them flex small.

And may the Lord rest the souls of the departed, especially late Ken Saro Wiwa, who was hanged, and late Pa Alfred Rewane who was brutally murdered by Abacha's hitman, sgt. Rogers
So many lives were needlessly lost, we've come this far, this country MUST get better.

Dual Citizenship, Explained

What is dual citizenship?
Dual citizenship —or dual nationality— is when you are a citizen of two different countries at the same time. In the context of the U.S., it means you’re both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of another country. Not every country allows dual citizenship, and the rules vary among those that do.

Does the United States allow dual citizenship?
Yes, the U.S. allows dual citizenship by default. The government does not require naturalized U.S. citizens to give up their citizenship in their country of origin. Although the Oath of Allegiance to the United States speaks of renouncing “allegiance and fidelity” to other nations, U.S. immigration law does not explicitly address the topic of dual citizenship.

The best summarization of the U.S. government’s position on dual citizenship lies in a U.S. Supreme Court opinion, which explains that “a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both.” The U.S. Department of State also has a more technical discussion of dual citizenship.

seunmsg:
The Hamzat naturalization argument is mere distraction and empty noise. That a Nigerian whose citizenship is by birth cannot lose the rights of a citizen is a settled case. Funny enough, the precedent was even in a case involving LP.

LABOUR PARTY & ORS v. ISHOLA & ORS (2014) LPELR-24386(CA)

“… when a Nigerian by Naturalisation or Registration acquires the citizenship of another country he loses his right as a naturalized Nigeria. Such a person would not be able to contest any election into any elative office in Nigeria. However, a Nigerian by birth who thereafter acquires the citizenship of another country i.e. America as in the instant case does not lose his right to vie for any elective office in Nigeria being a citizen by birth and not by naturalization or registration.” Per, MUDASHIRU NASIRU ONIYANGI ,J.C.A ( Pp. 18-23, paras. F-A )


The leadership of Lagos state and Nigeria will never ever be allowed to slip into the hands of incompetent, hate filled and divisive characters that make up the Labour Party. Never!

No, I'm not from a royal family.

You sound like a great uncle too..

Samantha124:
This is the issue I have, I find myself being emotionally attached to my nephews and nieces.. I think them and I have this special bond to a point that most of them also feel comfortable opening up to me.

This past weekend my nephew was taken to an initiation school, I just had to travel all the way from Durban to Polokwane just to see him before he leaves... The last time I left home the relationship between me and my mom wasn't going so well, but my father managed to talk to me and asked that I forgive her even though it's not easy... I was able to put everything aside for the sake of my nephew because I wanted to see him before he leaves for the initiation school.

Those who may wonder what an initiation school is, it's a cultural school whereby kids who are about to enter puberty, or are already in puberty are taken in order to be taught cultural virtues and principles of transitioning from childhood to teenhood.

His mother brought him to the family house on Saturday afternoon, I spent the entire afternoon gisting with him and he was nervous about the whole thing of going to an initiation school... I had to calm him down.. They were already late because other kids had left with their guardians to the mountains in the morning... My mother then called the royal house to make some inquiries and she was told that they could bring the child the following morning which was Sunday.

The following morning my parents and my sister along with my nephew left for the royal house in the village, the boy's father met them there and from there, the boy and the father were taken to the mountains, where the boy will stay with the others for four weeks.

The father just wanted to drop his son in the mountains and leave afterwards, but he was told that he must be around for at least 2 days to make sure that his son is well settled.

It was so difficult seeing him leave and I couldn't hold my tears, he's just so adorable and I sometimes wonder if he'll be able cope with the living conditions in the mountains for four weeks.

I remembered of how he talked about wanting a PlayStation when he visited the family house back in December, so I bought a PlayStation 5 for him as his graduation gift from the initiation school, they'll be having a party at his home when he returns, but I won't be able to go because of the protection order I have against his father... I gave the gift to my sister for her to give it to him.

The relationship between his father and I may not be good, but I love the boy so much like he's my own.

My other brother in law has also talked of how his children look up to me...

So I'd like to know if you guys have also found yourself emotionally attached to your siblings' children.

AntiMarxist:
The deeper you descend the more the weight of water bearing on you .

Say you descend down 12,000ft(3,600m) you have the equivalent weight of 3,600 meter cube volume of water . Multiply that volume by specific mass of water which is 1kg per cubic meter , then you have a force of 36,000N.

This is approximately 380 times the atmospheric pressure you feel at mean sea level.

All that force and weight will crush and shrink a human.

The largest known diving living thing is the sperm whale which have been recorded in dive depths down to 4,000ft (1,200m). Scientists don't know how Sperm whales can do this.

Now imagine you have a 30inch thick but hollow sphere with a total internal volume of 30 cubic centimeters and you send it down such a depth but allow for a very microscopic opening .

Do you know what will happen ? All that pressure will force air through that tiny opening and when you bring it to the surface quickly all that water will jet out faster than a jet engine exhaust.

Submarine diving is extremely dangerous .

There are so many things that can go wrong.

To make matters worse, this sub was not made from solid thick industrial grade steel but from carbon fibre with a thin sheet of titanium.

The sub is even welded shut at the surface after the passengers are in before diving.

Now imagine if the welder doesn't make a perfect weld and you have a 1 mm gap in the weld .

That is enough space to have water at such depths rush in and crush the sub.

That small gap can see the sub filled with water in less than a nanosecond .

Only a suicidal maniac or a fool will pay money to go along and pay good money to enter that death trap.

In a devastating turn of events, OceanGate Inc., the expedition company behind the ill-fated mission, announced on Thursday that the five passengers aboard the submersible attempting to explore the Titanic wreckage have lost their lives.

The company, in a somber statement, expressed their deep sorrow, referring to the victims as “true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans.”

The confirmation of the passengers’ deaths follows the discovery of a debris field near the site of the Titanic’s wreckage earlier on Thursday. Upon spotting the debris, experts swiftly commenced their evaluation, and a friend of two of the missing men claimed that the found items resembled a landing frame and the rear cover of the ill-fated vessel.

The 22-foot-long submersible, named Titan, was initially reported missing by OceanGate Expeditions, its parent company, on Sunday evening. The organization had lost communication with the deep-sea voyagers a few hours into their descent and notified authorities when the submersible failed to resurface at the scheduled time.

Since the distress call, both the U.S. Coast Guard and Canadian officials have been engaged in an extensive search and rescue operation, deploying various teams and equipment in the hopes of locating the Titan and its occupants. Among the passengers was OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who was reported to have been piloting the submersible during this particular mission.

This tragic incident serves as a grim reminder of the inherent risks associated with deep-sea exploration and highlights the bravery and dedication of those who strive to uncover the mysteries of the ocean depths.

The loss of these adventurous souls is mourned by the expedition company, their loved ones, and the wider exploration community.

What right has he got to carry assault weapons and even show them off online? is that criminal enough for you?

praxs:
Jaafar Jaafar from Kano State is the Editor-in-Chief of Daily Nigerian. He spoke to FRIDAY OLOKOR on the forces against the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, among others

You recently disclosed that some people in the Presidency were working against the ambition of Bola to be President. Who are these?

You see, I only talked about the key prominent voices and the power Sabiu Tunde wields, we can say that he is the major element against Tinubu’s presidency. He is on the President’s side and has so much power in the Presidency such that he can influence so many things much more than anyone else. I believe (Governor Nasir) El-Rufai does not want to give so much importance to a ‘small boy’. That’s why he didn’t actually mention the name. Sani Zangon Daura, he’s very close to the President also as I have said in that tweet; he influences a lot of things also, but suddenly he was seen going about campaigning for Atiku Abubakar; I think he was even in Jigawa State a couple of weeks ago to campaign for Atiku. It was so open that he is not hiding his choice.

Why are these people from the same party against Tinubu?

It is very baffling. At the initial stage, Tinubu was not their preferred candidate; they planned to impose Senator Ahmed Lawan and that plan failed. So, after the plan failed, they became aggrieved even after Tinubu emerged victorious; he didn’t get much support from them. Ahmed Lawan was their preferred candidate.

Is Tinubu’s problem like the biblical case of the hands of Esau, but the voice of Jacob? In essence, is Ahmed Lawan the person behind Tinubu’s problem?

No, I can’t say Ahmed Lawan really has a hand in this; I doubt it because even in the Villa, he does not wield as much influence as Tunde. In fact, he is among those kicking against Godwin Emefiele’s naira swap policy. It was very clear because he was fuming over the failure of the Presidency to involve the National Assembly in the decision before the President approved the naira redesign. So, Ahmed Lawan is not part of it.

There are some that are still not with Tinubu; it is clear that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (Abubakar Malami SAN) did not involve himself in the campaign and you can also see people like Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, who is clearly not supporting the ticket. He did not come out to say it publicly, but he is clearly not supporting it. Somebody very close to him was even telling me that as a devout Catholic, he cannot support the Muslim-Muslim ticket; probably, that is his reason for not supporting Tinubu.

In essence, it’s not only the North that is against Tinubu?

You see, northern governors are the ones supporting Tinubu, especially the APC governors. For instance, Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano and El-Rufai are all clearly coming out to support their candidate. For me, I’m not saying I’m supporting Atiku, Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso, Peter Obi or Tinubu. I’m only analysing the situation based on the reality on the ground. The major problem Tinubu’s presidency will create is that the North is treacherous. Once Tinubu fails, the North will be seen as a region that does not honour agreements because there is a written agreement that after Buhari finishes, Tinubu will take over, that power will shift to the South, particularly the South-West.

So if Tinubu fails, the North will be seen as saboteurs. Other regions will be eating with the North with long spoons; they will think that any political agreement reached with the North, at the end of the day, will betray you. As a northerner, I may not like the North to be seen in that way. Tinubu should understand that it is not the entire North that is against him. At least, the northern governors have rallied around him. If the people of the North do not want him, at least, he should not see that as a northern conspiracy against the South. It is not like that.

But if you go to the ground, particularly with the introduction of this policy that created the cash squeeze at the grassroots, it is really biting hard on the APC, the North and everywhere. So for the APC, technically by the introduction of this monetary policy, the election momentum has drastically fallen. Probably, the President did not do it by design, but Emefiele was one of the contestants (for that position of the APC presidential candidate) although he did not openly come out. But reading in-between the lines, he was interested. And when he realised that the ticket might not fly, he abandoned the aspiration and went back to his seat and decided to hit back at them; that’s a payback time. That’s a big problem. He got hints that logistics had been moved to states in preparation for the election; then, he introduced this naira swap policy and squeezed the time and availability of the naira.

It is not easy on Nigerians, politicians and the economy, everybody is suffering. This is actually what is happening. It is as if is trying to get at Tinubu, and Buhari wants to also think that doing this is a legacy of anti-corruption fight and holy by half. This is the same person that refused to sign the 2018 Electoral Act because it would not have favoured him in the 2019 election and eventually the President refused to sign the law because the law made election rigging almost impossible that time.

So if he actually meant well for the nation, he should have done that; that is why it is reasonable for one to infer that the President is against Tinubu because he refused to sign the Electoral Act that would have affected his election in 2019 and now he is approving policies that may jeopardise certain chances to win elections. If we had a three-term presidency in our constitution, do you think the President would introduce these biting policies on the eve of the election? He will not do that. If Emefiele is the one contesting, will he sit and see his successor introduce a policy that may stop his chances at the election? He will not.

So, that is why you can say that it is politically motivated; it may be good in the long run, but at the moment, it is making the naira scarce; letting people suffer all in the name of political agenda is wrong. It is good to have an election that is free from vote-buying, but with the way our people are suffering, they should find new ways of stopping vote-buying.
