Whether true or not it doesn't matter. One Grammy is enough for Burna boy. Three of my best Rappers (Busta rhymes, snoop dog and DMX) have non yet Macklemore has four . Their body of work speaks for itself. It just goes to show these awards are rigged sometimes.

Don't be deceived.......APC, PDP, LP are all the same. The same politicians you see today in APC wiil be LP members tomorrow if LP wins. Atikt was once APC, Obi was once APGA and PDP. All of the problems we have has nothing to do with Party but People. We as a people are terrible. Only few Nigerians will do the right thing when needed. For years now, you cannot get mint from banks yet you see people carrying millions worth in parties for sale. No dollars in banks but Black market is booming. Ordinary POS operators are exploiting their fellow citizens. We're just terrible

Hope the discussion is about the availability of currency because there's really nothing more in circulation. Even the old notes are not available. The petty traders, okada riders and bus drivers refuse to collect and will not accept transfers for fear of fake alert. The problem with Nigeria has never been about policies but implementation of the policies. I see no reason why 100 should be scarce. It should be everywhere to help cushion the unavailability of other notes.

Sports / Mason Greenwood Attempted Rape Charges Dropped by xjiggy: 6:46pm On Feb 02, 2023
Mason Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 after the allegations emerged

Charges of attempted rape and assault have been dropped against Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood.

The 21-year-old was arrested in January 2022 amid allegations surrounding images and videos.

He was later charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

The Crown Prosecution Service said the charges were discontinued after key witnesses withdrew their involvement.

A spokesman said: "We have a duty to keep cases under continuous review.

"In this case a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction. In these circumstances, we are under a duty to stop the case.

"We have explained our decision to all parties.

"We would always encourage any potential victims to come forward and report to police and we will prosecute wherever our legal test is met."

Within hours of the allegations surfacing at the beginning of 2022, the forward, who has made one appearance for England, was suspended from playing or training with the Old Trafford club.

In a statement, a Manchester United representative said the club noted "the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped".

"The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps," they said.

"We will not make any further comment until that process is complete."

Greater Manchester Police said it was "only fair" to announce Greenwood would no longer face criminal proceedings.

Ch Supt Michaela Kerr said the decision had "not been taken lightly".

She added: "I would, however, like to use this opportunity to reiterate the force's commitment to investigating allegations of violence against women and girls and supporting those affected, regardless of their circumstances, throughout what can be a hard and upsetting time for them."

I know all of them. I m a fan of the oldies.
All these actors popular movies are on Netflix. Some sef on YouTube. They are still acting. So it's no big deal that l know them.

*Dolph Lundgren. Famous for Universal Soldiers. Alongside Jean Claude van Damme
* Jean Claude van Damme. Famous for Cyborg
* Arnold Schwarzenegger. Famous for Terminator.
* Sylvester Stallone. Famous for Rambo
I think you're fond of old movies but if you're old enough you'll know the films that made them most famous.
For Stallone, you're right...... Rambo
For Dolph Lundgren..... Red scorpion
For Van Damme..... kick boxer
For Schwarzenegger..... Commando (Terminator 2 especially, blew him into the stratosphere)
It's good to see people who still watch oldies

Car Talk / Re: He Wants Advice On Buying His First Car. by xjiggy: 12:58pm On Dec 28, 2022
patwilly:
I enjoin all forum members to actively contribute
my budget is 4.5M
the choices I am looking at are these :

1. Toyota Rav 4, (2011) Nigerian used. A friend is actually convinced this is the car I should buy as it fits nicely in terms of prestige and functionality. However, I'm not fully convinced as per buying a Nigerian used car and also because I'm not really taken to the RAV4 as I see it as not a masculine car.

2. Toyota Camry 2011 or 2012 (muscle) : I like this car and if it falls within my budget I'd happily buy it. The only negative here is I've been wanting an SUV to be my first car considering Lagos roads etc so I'm not totally sold on the idea of getting this car.

3. Toyota Highlander full option (2007) Direct Belgium or Nigerian used: Now this is the car I I'm most taken to. However, Friends are of the opinion that it is an old car (being 2007) and is gradually being phased out. Also the fact the car does not exactly convey much in terms of prestige etc.

So that's it. I'd appreciate if forum members advice correctly on any of these three car models or recommend something else. Kindly highlight the merits/demerits of buying the foreign used or Nigerian used version of any car you'd recommend.

The attributes I'm looking out for are Functionality, ease of Maintenance, prestige/aesthetics of the car.

I appreciate you all.
Go for the Highlander. Don't listen to people who say it's an old car. Even the whites go for vintage cars (1967-1979). What's most important is the condition it's in.

You mean someone openly and willingly confessing to murder in court, without any duress is not admissible in court?
if u understand Benin language, what they are saying is that he used diabolical means to perpetrate the act not that he physically killed her. There's nothing in law that support spiritual crime. It's easy for his lawyer to claim he spoke fallacies under duress for fear of mob lynching.

The reason why Lagos is reconstructing the Ajah-Epe Express is to assist investors in that corridor with good access road for easy movement of goods and services. My state Edo, just like Kogi, should do the same but....... Nooooo. They won't spend a Kobo. They rather fight and arm twist investors for financial and political gains.

It's not just about the woman. Mason Greenwood have a wrong attitude towards life. He refused to let go of his street mentality. Same way Mavel Morrison, another United youngster, wasted his talent. Refused to take advice even from Sir Alex. So also Nile Ranger... Formally of Newcastle United. Such a pity

When you sign a contract as a Resident Doctor, you on call 27/7. That's the main reason you're given accommodation by the hospital in the first place. Dem think say Na 9ja where Dem no go work for their money. Go to General Hospital, thats how patients will wait for like 6am to 11am before doctor will appear and within 2hrs, Doctor will disappear leaving patients in limbo.
