And he wouldn't let markets open.
Selfish man.

Tobidarker02:
What of capital?
Many of us have skills and great ideas but no capital

Get capital from your family members even if it is a loan.
You should be able to convince them if your idea is practical.

Her initial story was sketchy at best because I didn't understand the
rap- ing and abus- ing aspect since they weren't married.

While this is likely a case of a soured relationship, the story being told by the doctor is
too perfect. No one will help a stranger move to a new country and accommodate them
so "they can live separately".

They had a relationship and he found her worthy enough to encourage her migration.
However, we don't know their initial arrangement whether it is sex for accommodation or
a relationship for accommodation.

We also don't know if she feared getting kicked out unless she does his will or she is
very desperate to make their relationship permanent.

The talk of her seducing him is pure nonsense. He claimed their relationship was weak, yet
he helped facilitate her visa twice because he wants her to visit for her own sake.
Who does that?
How can living together with someone you claimed is incompatible helps save the relationship
you supposedly don't care about.
To make matters worse, he asked them to live apart after encouraging her to visit.

He definitely wants her to migrate for his own sake and likely encouraged and pressured
her into trying the second time. From his narration, she likley has other people in the
UK that she could live with and she only stayed because he wants her to.

If he gets charged the way things are going, the lady might just have found a loophole
to remain in the UK after her visa expires.

Moral of the story.
Don't accommodate a risky stranger in a strange land.
Always clarify your relationship and finally, never take
advantage nor fall for desperate people. There is never a free lunch.

Why the delay?
Bunch of cowards.

In other words, you don't want progress for Nigerians.
It is not the government's business to subsidize electricity.
Subsidies are one of the greatest fraud perpetrated by the Nigerian government
under the guise of helping the poor with freebies.
No serious country subsidizes utility bills for citizens.

The prepaid meter should be supplied to all customers and the government
should stop interfering in electricity pricing.

Whether medical experts and scientists believe it or not, COVID-19 is out to shorten the lifespans of the people. It is a disease propagated by force for Nigerians to accept

How did this idiot become a governor?

nadiq1:
Seriously? So a ghost runs the business abi? They can not honor their CEO. I mean, this is unbelievable the way people make excuses for nonsense...

Who is their CEO?
And what has business shutting down has with honor?
There is a difference between a street kiosk and a business.

jice:
Nations observe at least one day to honor Presidents.

Nations don't honor presidents, the government does.
Any business not affiliated with the government is free to operate at any time it likes.

We are talking of her husband who contributed to her been who she is.

This is irrelevant, but just so you know, she wasn't picked up from poverty as her
family was established.

Even if he funded the business 100%, that is no reason for it to be shut down.

The mistake she made was complying with their first request.
That is how they screen their victims.
If she rejected the first request to apologize, they would look elsewhere.

They are looking for people who are easily convinced.

SmartProf:
Lol...interestingly, if Trump was the one who requested Interpol arrest of the Iranian leader, it would have been obliged. World politics is not child's play.

No.
It would be rejected the same.

Razzness:
The truth is if lawmakers are involved in the process, they will just polticisize it, only their boys will get the job regardless of qualification.

It is unskilled labor.
No qualifications needed.

meobizy:
For bodies which date back to medieval times, it's funny to see how well preserved they still are. One would think eventually bones turn to dust, but even fossils of cavemen and dinosaurs are physically strong despite time passage. With satellites that penetrate solid objects, giving almost a clear view of going ons inside buildings, why aren't all these grave sites found in their hundreds/thousands?

Well-preserved fossils are very rare.
That is why they make the news.

Correcto:
The owner of Roban doesn't open on Sundays, yet he has a very successful business in the South East, beat of my knowledge.

Good for him.
But you are just an outside observer and knows nothing about Roban's ROI and
its business policies.

All you said makes no sense. Success of business is quite complex, depends on many factors.

I am not surprised you don't get it. People who have never run a real business are often surprised
at the personal sacrifice and impersonal decisions that owners make towards their business success.

Maliqcious:
Man runs the business don't run man...

That is not true for many people. And for those people, their business will not work without them,
But for Florence, she runs a business, that is why her presence is not needed for it to run

A sign of respect.. Do You think if Jim Ovia dies it wrong.. If Zenith bank closed on his burial day as of respect not right?

Hahaha
I will consider transferring most of my deposit out of the bank if that happens
as it sends a wrong message of unprofessionalism.
Who knows what other personal issues are influencing their decisions?

I expect a formal business to be run by business-minded people, not sentimental ones.

nnaemekanwachuk:
But the biz closed during Lock down?

It didn't.
Federal lockdown excuse essential services.
Moreover, Oyo never had proper lockdown.

Even if it closed down during lockdown which never happened,
that is irrelevant as a business forced to close down by an external force such as
the government is not the same as one whose owner made an amateur decision
to stop running it out of sentiment.

Correcto:
Really, so the owner can't order a close down to honor her husband for just a day? It is funny people always try to compare Nigeria and America or Europe in every issue.

Apart from you, who is talking about America here?
There are poor businessmen in every country who mix personal issues with the business.
They usually don't last long as they are displaced by more serious firms.

Closing down a business is a personal thing.

I agree and competent business people don't mix personal issues with their business
because they are separate.

If she can not close down her business then she has no moral right to criticize anyone for not leaving their personal issues to see her and her family.

This is not a case of morality and no one is asking anybody to leave their personal issues to see her.
The government refused to acknowledge that the former governor is sick while he was alive.
This isn't a personal favor or morality issue.
Ordinarily, Makinde owes them nothing.

fairfora:
that's the word...mall-looking house. House maintenance isn't cheap man, not even a mansion of that capacity. That was one of the reasons i refused to go with my friends to lekki. I wish a brave youth could rise up and end the regime of these old fellas once and for all who keep deceiving Nigerians that youths are the leaders of tomorrow but have refused to leave the political arena. Both the APC and the PDP are the same...apc is even worse off and disappointing with all these we are seeing them do from bauchi to zamfaraand now oyo. I wonder what others still in power would do by the time they leave office . What have they now done differently from the PDP? Where's the change now? It's well.

There is no once and for all.
History has taught us multiple time that a society cannot give
what it doesn't possess. Even with violent uprising, the outcome
will be different kind of players but the game remains the same.

SweetiliciousD:
Your business, shop crap doesn't add up.

Take it or take it, we know where the loyalty lies.
Las Las.....

There is loyalty and there is eye service.
I wouldn't want my card to stop working because some Mastercard owners died in plane crash.

hush15:
That nobody is being paid normal is false. I know of many people whose salaries are still intact despite being at home for almost 3months. In fact, they evolved into working from home where possible. That some reduced payments doesn't change the fact they being paid even still for sitting at home till the eased lockdown but all that is not the point.

You are contradicting yourself.
No one is being paid in full while doing no work.
Working from home is part of working.
Any business(not the government) that pays workers for free won't survive for long.

The point is how you support double standards is the point. Its not the government didn't reach out if you been following the news but that she she didn't open her doors to them which she acknowledged during the deputy governor's visit cos of land they tried to acquire, a whole 48plots to themselves but because she is aware that she is intentionally avoiding the guy while.trying to use higher powers like the VP to make request. She doesn't have the governor's number or the deputy's number for an ex governor shows the kind of bitterness she has towards the current government, even when they quarrelling, its not that she won't have their numbers being an ex officio. Anyway, they can go to hell for I care cos such arrogance, I can't bear.

Of course, they can go to hell.
That's the whole point.
I don't actually expect Makinde to visit or call while the former governor was sick.
All he needed to do is get one of his aides to make contact and ask if they need help.
Nothing more.

Her husband who couldn't pay pensioners who served more than 8yrs that he served, and here she is claiming a sense of entitlement for just 8yrs. Someone who ignored lautech cos he is constituted authority whereas demanding sense of entitlement in death through his arrogant wife is all trash.

Her own party members were busy playing politics with her dead husband but blaming Makinde and his team for ignorance is the biggest hypocrisy ever.

I knew the bile poured on the woman has nothing to do with her "shop" but the belief of some people
that the function of government is to carry out revenge on their behalf.
It is predictable that you descend into political rhetoric.
The deputy should have reeled out his sins to her face rather than claiming to use an unknown number to call a former governor's wife.
Pretense is disgusting.

peeps4u:
What phone call again? Didnt you read where it was stated they called her but didnt respond. They even contacyrd Hamzat and SanwoOlu just to reach her yet she declined? What more calls should have been made?

The deputy claimed that he called her.
But why will she pick an unknown number?
Even the deputy himself will not pick an unknown number.
If the government wants to reach someone, they know how to do it.

peeps4u:
Nawa oooo. So the deputy tjat went there to represent the governor wasnt enough? Who is then the greater aide than the deputy that should have gone?

It seems you didn't read the original story.
She complained that the government did not enquire about her husband's
health while he was alive.
She wasn't aking for Makinde or his deputy's visit.
Her complain is that they never made contact.

SweetiliciousD:
Taaaaaa...

If that shop is linked to her and her family, needless to say it ought to shut down as a mark of respect for the head and breadwinners' interment.

A mark of greater loyalty and love for £$€¥¢=N=

rayblast:
what is dis one saying footballers that does that r mad abi? even in d market if any of d executives dies d market will be closed for a day at least

I don't blame you. Most of you don't know jack about business.
You might know about manning a shop but not running a proper business.
In a truly competitive market, you wouldn't survive.

BTW, a footballer does not own a business, he has a job.
If he dies or gets maimed, his job is over.

Business 101 for you guys:
A business is different from the owner.

ojuu4u:
Read before you attack sir, a wife that can't close shop just a day for husband that she won't see again & again, this is the husband that made her everything she is today, how much profiteer she wants to gain that day sir? Billions?? Does billions equivalent to her husband life Will the shop wont close down for lockdown or any emergency? Yet such wife was crying on top of her voice that a whole gov of a state didn't pay her visit for the demise of her husband. Its a great disservice! In fact greatest hypocracy!!

It is not a shop.
It is a BUSINESS.
You should close a shop bu not a business.
The only thing that should stop a business from operating si bankruptcy, debt, or law.
Not even the owners death should affect a business.

Karlifate:
How much will she lose for NOT opening the shop for a day?
This is the same woman using some cheap emotional blackmail on Governor Seyi Makinde.

It is not a shop.
It is a BUSINESS.
Use Google for clarification.

knowhowk:
Politics Ignorance is one of the reasons lazy mentality like your comments thrives

No.
You are too dumb to realize that a proper business is separate from the owner.
The fact that the shop is operating smoothly without her involvement is the hallmark of successful businesses.
It will take years to properly educate you on how efficient economies work.

I wouldn't want to be late for a meeting because the airline CEO/owner died let alone their spouse.

You got it wrong, Nigeria will be competing with top economies if just 10% of the populace
understand market economy. So, "mentality" like mine does not thrive at all.

peeps4u:
But governor sending his deputy isn't enough? He must cancel his prior personal, state and party engagements even when Florence didnt close down her shop on Sunday?

Florence should stop seeking for condolence as African culture dictates since she also wants to be western by not closing down her shop for a day to respect her dead husband

She did not expect the governor to visit.
Makinde owes them nothing.
She expected the government to have made contact even a call while he was sick.
Note the difference?

oladipojesse:
My sincere apologies but I think you didn't get the message communicated here. But it's okay, not all students passes an exam, one or two must have a F or D... Pick yours.

I understand your confusion.
You think a business and the owner are the same.

GoldHorse:
It is called "Showing Respect for the Dead". It is not about money. It is a tradition and an emotional issue. It is also in the Yoruba culture and even it's a taboo in some parlance to open the market when some caliber of people die.

Who cares about taboo?
At the end of the day, taboo does not feed people.
The archaic practice of closing business based on tradition is dead
but for some remote backward villages.

Closing her shop for one week will not kill her or the business.

[quote]She was not happy with the governor because she was leveraging on the understanding of the culture I outlined above that the governor was supposed to show sign of respect; it's what is expected of us in Yoruba culture.

Capital No.
It has nothing to do with culture.
The governor as a person owe her family nothing.
She only complained because the government who her husband was part of
made no contact during his illness.

A woman that lost the husband is expected to temporarily close her place of business., simple!

There is a difference between a business and a shop.
They look similar but are very different.
Not even the owners death should stop a business from running.

crafteck:
She owns it, more reason to honour her husband...

Naijboy:
She doesn't run the shop; who owns the shop.

It is a business.
Business can't honor people, not even the owner of the business.
Don't confuse shops with business.

pseudaria:
What is lazy mentality? If the USA could give 2500$ to all citizens twice because they did not go to work,

They weren't given money because they did not go to work.
They got it because the government forced them to stay at home.
BTW, the money is not free. It is from their taxes.

if the UK, Germany, Netherlands, France, Canada, Norway could give their citizens cheques for just staying at home, what is wrong with ajimobi wife closing the store for a week and paying her workers full salary. I can just imagine how you will be treating your workers if you are an employer or in top management. #changeyourmentality

Again, you confuse government with businesses.
The government can't afford to waste money because it is other people's money(taxpayers).
It is your entitled mentality that makes you think workers deserve to be paid while doing nothing.

hush15:
He is not asking her to close store but rather, telling her not to demand what she or her husband can't give... People are ranting and forgotten that when push comes to shove, even if the death of her husband was that important to her, that store will close by force just as we thought people couldn't sit home for months cos of people dying but its been proven that people can and they are still being paid for just being workers....


Nigerians sha....

No one who sits at home is being paid at least not as in normal rate.
Don't confuse non-essential government workers with proper company staff.
Business exists to make a profit.
If you don't work, you get nothing.

easzypeaszy:
u don't have sense or let me say comprehension problem...u ended up saying wht the OP is trying to pass.
If der is no need closing shop Dem why wl she expect Gov to leave d affairs of a state fr d late husband...
U no get sense

I don't reply imbe ciles but I will make an exception here.
Do you think Makinde is the one building roads, collecting tax, or screening contracts?
When we talk about the government, we refer to thousands of people who actually run
things. They were present before the current admin and will still outlast.

The governor and his aides leave the affair of the state when they interact with their family, sleep, and
even pray. You see the government won't collapse because the governor made a 3 minutes official call.

oruma19:
even if she doesn't run it, as a mark of respect, all affiliated businesses to the ajimobis should have been closed down for at least a week. She is a greedy mad woman who has been enjoying small boys' big dicks all the while. She doesn't miss the man because she has all his pin. Nonsense.

Are you describing your mother or a stranger you have never met?
Either way, you are clearly sick.

Collyno82:
Even govts close shops to mourn important personalities, maybe her husband is not important. Maybe just maybe.

The government is not a business.
It can afford to not function as long as it likes.
In reality, the government never closes "shops".

Masterkernel1:
People like you can defend the devil. It's the height of hypocrisy, she couldn't even lock her shop for just one day, but want others to do for her.

She didn't ask anyone to close their shop.
The Oyo state government has hundreds of aides that could have paid the former governor a visit.
Even at that, a phone call would have been sufficient. No closing of shops.

In Igbo land, the woman's businesses won't run on that day. Example in solidarity to Ojukwu at his death, we didn't trade in the whole of South East on his burial day.

There is a difference between manning a shop and running a proper business.
Ojukwu does not own the southeast.
It is just like the government declaring public holidays and workers
claiming responsibility for it.

Several businesses still operated in the South East on Ojukwu's burial day.
