Seal embassies for owing when the embassies concerned have said they did not receive any notifications of defaulting any payments.

Yes, if even it is ₦1 being owed, they should pay. But not giving them notice of due payments and going off to seal embassies is, for lack of better word, overzealous.

In conflicts, Wike doesn't know what magic diplomacy can do. Simply serve the notice round and make sure they acknowledge it first before escalating issues.

Everything no be gra-gra.

In Nigerian parlance,

goodnight is generally used to bade greetings when departing for the night.

Good afternoon is from midday to when the sun starts to set.

Once the sun starts to set, it's good evening. Say 5pm-sh. Earlier than that, at 4,4:30pm is not out of place.

In Nigerian parlance, good evening stretches well into the evening/night. People can be ing by at 10pm and greet each "Good evening".

Goodnight is not used in same way as good morning and good afternoon. When two people are meeting at 9pm, they don't see themselves and greet each 'goodnight'. No. It's a 'good evening '.

In fact, good night is only used to bade greetings when departing for the night, after earlier greeting themselves good evening when they met. Good morning starts again at midnight.

I can be sitting out at 9,10pm and say "I am having a nice evening". But by morning I can refer to that same time as "last night"

Just leave us alone in Nigeria.

Please don't put your mouth into Politics.

One would have expected first class traditional institutions to take a cue from issues in Kano State.

That trial should be happening here in Nigeria. He should be extradited.

He caused most of the killings South-East has experienced.

You cannot be wearing fancy suits and inciting and instigating the deaths of thousands of people.

That guy's no freedom fighter, he is a murderer!

You'd be shocked to know they meet some of these 'spiritualists' on Facebook.

One set of people I pity most are those that engage these 'Alfa's on internet for juju. They'd eventually kill you.

Next time, people should learn to operate within their limits, since buhari kidnapped sorry arrested this man from Kenya, haven't people moved on? Is their anyone inside the prison with him? This life na only your family cares about you that is if you are lucky to have good family because some family are worst than devil. I pray Tinubu release him because at least by now, he must have learnt his lessons, no one fights the government all over the world, after God, na government.

I just don't like to read things like this.

People have fought governments across the world. Even when some got killed, their struggles were carried on by others and eventually bore fruits.

For most of the rights you enjoy today, people fought for it. Some that achieved it only completed the journey some others started.

Live your cowardly life and leave others to choose their own paths in life. He very well knew he was on head-on collison course with government.

You don't know where the journey he started will end tomorrow, even if he is killed today.

It is the violence part, where innocent people going about their everyday lives are killed that I do not like.

I have noted his name though.

We need men like him.

The larger Nigeria need more of his detribalized mind. Likely the type of emerging leaders to get Nigeria going again.

Congratulations Idris Adebola.

Could Fubara have made moves for peace with a little more dignity?

Anyway, I have always wondered why the majority house couldn't impeach him. That would have been better for them than the State of Emergency route.

Tinubu should pray there never will come a time he and Wike will be at loggerheads.

The man is no longer a provider in the marriage, but a mooch, and rightly, the dynamics in the marriage should change too. undecided

That is the setback that is the traditional marriage system. The man is promised submission by the system if and only if he retains his role as provider in the marriage. The moment he ceases to be a provider, the woman is no longer under any obligations to submit to him. The best the man can and should do then is renegotiate the marriage agreement he had with his wife, choosing an ultimate contract that best suits his situation. undecided

2. Are men not human beings?

3. That arrangement may have worked for your forefathers, but you shouldn't go around pretending it should work for everyone in this day and age. Let individuals decide what to do in their own marriage, abeg!

Just imagine! @ the bolded grin

This is an interesting one.

If, for some reasons, this man eventually gets labelled as a deadbeat dad 30yrs down the line, who would be there to explain all of these his earlier travails in the hands of the baby mama and her mother?

The coming of Dangote refinery really exposed a lot about you guys in that NNPC.

Well, of course, by now, you would have accumulated as much money to bribe the whole lot of the rogue EFCC officials and the gangs of useless judges in Nigeria!

The ripple effects of this CBEX scam is not just about lost funds. It will destroy families, bankrupt businesses, break friendships and lead to people committing suicide.

It bothers me that it is only after these types of fraud has been perpetrated that the EFCC swings into action. They are always purposefully reactive and never proactive. As if they are partners in crime with these criminals.

I won't be surprised if this foreigner gave EFCC their share before balling out of the country.


Sometimes they try to be proactive but people will try to shout them down.

There was a recent case about a Mentorship program (by one Dr John Doe). EFCC tried to alert and sensitize the populace, instead Nigerians began to defend the person, accusing EFCC of trying to kill the man's business or something.

Tell me, if this same man carts people's money away, won't they still say EFCC is not proactive enough?

Cool cool

But then, when I hear a person built a car from scratch, I always want to know about the engine. Did he build the engine as well?

He may have fabricated the body of the vehicle which is a feat in its self and should be praised. But if he indeed built his own engine, then Nigeria and Nigerians by all means, regardless of current woes, must fully him. Against all odds.

I still don't like Fuji tho

Shout out to Juju Music lovers
#JujuMusicgang cool

Belurved1:
You don't have to.
Muslims create Fuji music while Christians create Juju music. You can like both, reject one or hate both irrespective of your religion but the fact is na Muslims get Fuji music while Christians get Juju musics. No Muslim musician sings juju music better than Christians and no Christian musician can sing Fuji music Muslims. You can't reverse the history.

And you had to colour this with religion and not the culture represented in language used to sing, music instruments and more importantly oratory tradition ed down to listeners in the form of proverbs, folklore etc?

For clarity sake, my comment is from a personal observation of lifestyles of both genres. Fuji musicians are more of social, party and while Juju musicians also party, they advocate caution/restraint in life. And of course, the folklore.

As far I am concerned, Yorubas listen to both. Whether traditionalists, Muslims or Christians. In fact, I know quite a number of Christians who like Fuji more. I know non-Yoruba who prefer Fuji. I simply prefer Juju for lifestyle reasons, not religion.

These are the sort of things we should be seeing.

Not a gang of house assembly travelling all the way to London and elsewhere for leisure and relaxation and one is left wondering if there are not enough places within the country for their 'retreats'?

Just keep your miserable opinions about other people's religion to yourselves, and everyone will be fine.

No bro, this is where you are wrong. Where your religion affects other people, it becomes everybody's problem.

If you drag a Muslim to sharia court for blasphemy, it's understandable. I have read that happening in the north. He is a Muslim, that is what he subscribed to.
But you cannot apply sharia to non-muslims.

Interestingly, the northern mob never spares a non-muslim long enough to even be taken to any court. They kill them on the spot!

Thank you ECOWAS.

It is simply barbaric.

Human beings should have rational intellect. You fully agree and say it by yourselves that muhammad is not God. If he was indeed a mere mortal, why do you kill for him?

Is this to say that as you go about everyday life, when a person insults you yourselves, you fight with the intent to kill the other person?
Or someone insults any one of your relatives, you start a fight with intent to kill?

So why kill because a man (a mortal man like yourself) is being insulted?

It's really just difficult relating with a muslim, you never know what you'd say and he's already thinking ill of you, waiting for an opportunity to kill and behead.

Why is it that when a muslim says 'blasphemous' things he is taken to court but once a non-muslim is accused, even without proof, he is killed on the spot. No questions asked.

You have intolerant practices that make other people scared, then you turn around and find ways to kill them.

If not totally abolished, basphemy laws should be applicable to only muslims.

Just why on earth is blasphemy even a crime?!

Might really not be about the money.

Maybe I should add that it's actually 300,000 in total. And asides this, some money would have gone into organising and logistics too.

We really shouldn't put people on pedestals they didn't put themselves. That's what she can afford.
