Relocate to Igboland to fulfil your mom's wish na.. is anyone holding you?.

Proud Yorubas are doing their thing, achieving great feat in music, movie, sports, medicine, academics, business etc.
No modafvcker can talk Yorubas down.
Most if not all of the dollar billionaires from Nigeria are Yorubas,
At least 5 out of top 10 richest Nigerians are Yorubas.

Yorubas are the real deal, reason other tribes can't stay away from Yoruba ingenuity.. Even globally, Yorubas have that recognition.

All these because a son shares an advice he received from his mother?

Wow. I've always said that we are worse than the racists of the West. Imagine black men turning against black men because of tribe.

Damn!

Omotaday:
Yeah, bomb an hospital, plant the corpse and other evidence and then take zionist journalists to bear your witness.

Use that as justification to bomb more hospitals, schools, mosques, churches and libraries.

Only f00ls still believe Israel.

How do you arrive at this conclusion of yours?

And, the fact that someone doesn't agree with your reasoning doesn't make him a fool. Everyone is free to have an opinion.

APC is a satanic party from the pit of hell.

So, which party be the heavenly party?

People have freedom of association, and should be allowed to exercise it as they so please. If it's against the constitution of any party for its to cross to another party, they should debate it in court and refrain from calling names and all that.

APC as it is today is made of of politicians from other parties...the PDP and LP inclusive. So, are these politicians automatically Satan's associates?

I think we all should learn to separate emotions from reality.

My only question be say....how do these elites teach their children morality? How does Mr. Reno summon courage to sit his children and teach them about morality?

As a father, I'm extremely careful of the image I create for my kids. I know they'll grow up one day to use social media and see the activities of their father. This shame no go even allow me conduct myself rubishly in public.

How low is one willing to go for political gains and money? Are these the most important things in life?

If na the only way to be rich be this, I'd rather live a quiet life and go through earth than being wealthy!

Thankfully, it isn't..there are honest means, honourable means to wealth and relevance. I thank God for His grace to guide me through these paths.

Shalom.

At the direction of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the State of Israel is arming an ISIS-aligned Jihadist gang in Gaza, unnamed Israeli defense officials confirmed to the Times of Israel on Thursday. While refraining from validating that particular characterization of the weapon recipients, Netanyahu confirmed that Israel is "activating clans in Gaza that oppose Hamas." Significantly, the prime minister is accused of green-lighting the weapon handovers without securing his cabinet's permission.

News of Netanyahu's latest provision of aid to Sunni extremists in the Middle East first came via remarks made by opposition Knesset member and former defense minister Avigdor Lieberman in a Thursday morning interview with Kan Bet public radio. “The Israeli government is giving weapons to a group of criminals and felons, identified with Islamic State, at the direction of the prime minister...Ultimately, these weapons will be turned against us."


It wouldn't be the first time Netanyahu has opportunistically bolstered Gaza extremists only to have them murderously lash out at Israelis. Indeed, following in the steps of his predecessors, Netanyahu boosted Hamas itself in a calculated effort to ensure Israel had no united, moderate counterparties available to negotiate a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu told a meeting of Likud Party of parliament in 2019. “This is part of our strategy — to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”

In 2016, an earlier Netanyahu government provided medical treatment to a Syrian of Al Qaeda. At the time, former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy brushed aside an interviewer's astonishment that Israel would aid an enemy of the United States: “We have a different with Hezbollah. A totally different . Al Qaeda, to the best of my recollection, has not attacked Israel.”

Netanyahu's latest favorite band of rogues is the Abu Shabab clan, led by Yasser Abu Shabab, who has reportedly been twice-imprisoned in Hamas-run jails for criminal offenses. "[They] are in essence lawless criminals who in recent years wanted to give themselves an ideological angle or spin, so they became Salafi [jihadists] and began identifying with ISIS," Lieberman said.

Varying described as a militia or a criminal gang, the Abu Shabab clan has been widely accused of looting humanitarian aid to the devastated Gaza population. In 2024, Abu Shabab didn't deny the allegations, instead lamely claiming his group tried not to steal supplies meant for children. That entry on Shabab's rap sheet makes Netanyahu's for the clan rather hypocritical, as he's often condemned Hamas for allegedly stealing aid. "Hamas is coming at gunpoint and stealing the food," he said. "Humanitarian deaths and starvation is, for us, it’s a tragedy. For them, it’s a strategy." On the other hand, the Shabab clan meets the only qualification that seems to matter to Netanyahu: An interest in seeing Hamas dislodged from power in Gaza.

In late May, Hamas posted a video showing an operation in which its militant blew up a group of armed men that observers concluded to be of the Shabab clan. Hamas said the targeted group was collaborating directly with the IDF by inspecting buildings in Gaza before Israeli soldiers took them over.

Following Lieberman's comments, the prime minister's office issued a statement saying "Israel is working to defeat Hamas in various ways, on the recommendation of all heads of the security establishment." On Thursday afternoon, defense officials confirmed to the Times of Israel that Netanyahu's government is shipping Kalashnikov rifles to the jihadists. Compounding the controversy, the sources say Netanyahu initiated the weapon transfers without receiving approval from his cabinet.

Shabab's gang has been documented in recent days operating in an area near the Kerem Shalom border crossing under Israeli military control. In the footage, which was published online by Abu Shabab, of the group can be seen wearing military-style uniforms with the Palestinian flag and the words “Counter-Terrorism Mechanism” emblazoned on them. -- Times of Israel

Yair Golan, who leads the opposition Democrats party, condemned Netanyahu's decision to arm yet another dangerous set of militants: "Netanyahu, who transferred billions to Hamas in suitcases of cash out of the mistaken concept that Hamas is an 'asset,' is now promoting a new dangerous concept: arming a Gazan militia with ties to ISIS."

According to the ancient proverb, "The friend of your enemy is your enemy." If you're an American citizen, what does that make Netanyahu?

Would be better to add a source to this post.

Victim mentality is disease that no logic can cure.

Victim mentality, how, please?

Agbegbaorogboye:

Even if he was not stabbed in the leg, I think it's only in Nigeria's courts that I'm hearing that when you overpower your attacker, you should run and not look to disarm him from further attempting to do you harm.
Professionals will tell you that you're most vulnerable when your back is towards your attacker which is exactly what happens when you run. He could get a stone and aim at you for example.
Self-defence is a universally acknowledged right. Even in the US, anyone who breaks into your house uninvited can get a bullet from you and you'll be within your right cause he invaded your private space.
I guess the SC is saying if an intruder breaks into your home in the night, you should first ask him if he's armed and then offer him some money in exchange for him leaving you alone instead of looking to contain his threat
Nigeria is in the wrong hands of leaders

Absolutely!

I can only wonder the kind of law we practice here....or, perhaps, the problem isn't the law...but the interpreters of the law.

Mike Ozekhome talks and acts as if he never went to school.

The case Mike Ozekhome was disgracing himself about was a clear case of murder because the perpetrator seized a weapon and then wilfully and consciously decided to use it with deadly intention. The murderer might not have brought the weapon but that is very immaterial as he was in ion of the weapon and used same to end the life of the victim.

There was an very similar case like this that happened in Ghana and the lady was given the death sentence even though she was not the person that brought the weapon to the fight. She was able to seize the weapon and thereafter turned and use it to stab the victim to death and the Ghana court handed her a death sentence for that

"The court did not reckon with the fact that the herdsman had seriously stabbed him in the leg and so could not have made a quick getaway, even if he wanted to. "

https://www.timesng.com/opinion/784630-clemency-for-sunday-jackson-by-wole-olaoye.html

I reading about this case some time ago - Mr. Sunday was stabbed severely in the leg during the encounter. How then do you expect him to outrun the assailant?

Most of these life-death encounters, it's easy to analyze them from the safety of our homes. In the heat of the moment, with one's life hanging on a loose thread, with adrenaline pumping in magnanimous doses, and with dire split-second possibilities, the human body is only programed to do one thing - flight or fight. When flight is no longer possible, fighting your way out becomes the only available option.

Let's just say the Nigerian state has been defeated by its attackers. The Fulanis do as they please, our armed forces are demoralized, corrupt, and overstretched...and our judiciary is just an embarrassment. This is the case when we allow tribalism and religious sentimentalism to invade our thinking faculties.

How many people (you and I included) will act otherwise? You have an attacker willing to end your life, you are badly stabbed in the leg, possibly bleeding out with ambulatory functions compromised, what would you do? Run? Can you outrun your attacker? that there has also been an extensive history of Fulanis allegedly smiting these farmers at will. Of course, Sunday didn't want to be the next statistic - I wouldn't.

It's just sad that we are what we are in this country. One of the mandatory steps to take to liberate Nigeria is to squarely face religion and tribalism. Put out some mad laws, no matter how extreme. Take these two things away from the Nigerian complex and you'd find that our problems are quarter-solved....if not half.

kingbee90:
Come! When will Tinubu visit the US sef?
I want to check something..

So, wetin you think say go happen if Tinubu visits the USA or any other Western country?

Absolutely nothing!!!!

When/if he visits and returns, una go shift goalpost to something else..

Let's talk about real issues, not senseless rants like the one you are attempting.

I'm all in for anything to restore sanity to society.

Enough of all the nonsense.

Very sweet to read.

Congratulations to the patients, the team, and the hospital. Congratulations, Naija!

I'm sure patients went through thorough counseling, especially concerning post-transplant lifestyle.

May God perfect their healing.

WONDERFUL.

Very happy for this...

I this one.

Good afternoon, I want to ask how my chance for medicine in UI through direct entry. I have B.Sc in Botany with a cgpa of 4.31 (second class upper) and also have a Master’s degree in Plant Physiology. I finished with a PhD grade. So I want to ask for my chance for UI medicine.

Botany seems a bit far, but this is me just saying. I know of schools that take Biology...

Only way is to have someone physically go check it out for you in the college. If you are close to the school, visit and find out.

Good luck.

horpeyemmi66:

You'd have to consider writing the UTME. Last I checked to be considered for ission into Medicine via DE, you should have a first degree in any of the Basic Medical Sciences or Nursing.

An MSc, while laudable, is not considered as a criteria for ission into Medicine.

Some schools accept Biology...which is not in the BMS.

But I agree sha, Botany seems a bit far.

wunmi590:


Good gesture, but nah NGO money e dey spend like this...

We need an independent audithor 😆

If VDM dey use the NGO funds anyhow, EFCC (wey don dey look for way to hold am down since) go don hold am.

We still dey wait for their so-called investigations.

I understand we've been through a lot as a country, and it's now difficult to trust anyone. But, VDM has done more good than bad to us all. Obviously he's not perfect..neither am I.

He's yet to give us a reason to doubt him.

Fortune109:
LGBTs always uses good Cause to effect a leadership revolution then unmask their real intentions later...

VDM has made zillions of anti-LGBTQ posts. His position on this matter is obvious to everyone.

PheelzAlmighty:
I don't believe the crap I read or hear online...


Y'all lie so good it makes the devil look like an amateur.

Well, VDM has a history of similar gestures in the past. He has done a lot for society. Lots of charities works here and there. We've heard from recipients confirming receipt.

And, transaction alert is out there...yeah, I know, this can be forged.

Again, nobody has come out to debunk this. I would imagine this would have been the first thing I'd do if someone makes a false claim with my name.

VDM, this is a very good gesture.

Much appreciations here!

NAFDAC threatened to confiscate all medicine in the market if traders don't pay until a certain time.
That the will assume all the drugs in the market have spoiled since the Shops are closed for long



Because Nigerians will believe nafdac over the traders , people have to pay.



I paid for shop my boys are in charge there.



700k for shop and 200k for parking store.






When NAFDAC started with looting and traders raised alarm, people Called them names like fake drugs sellers, that if you are not selling fake you don't need to be afraid of NAFDAC.


It gave NAFDAC impetus to impose tax on every shop after their operation and looting.

I ed the course of NAFDAC. In truth, there are fake drugs sellers out there, and it's perfect for NAFDAC to go after them.

What I don't is the MANNER they are handling this issue...and this is just typical of Nigerian operators. Inadequate investigations, just go in and arrest everyone. Why do you think when a crime is committed....eg, murder, people around will try to run away and stay clear...it's because the police will usually show up and pack all the young boys around...how can this be a decent way to conduct an investigation?

NAFDAC had a good idea but went about it in the most foolish way possible. How can you lock down an entire market? What about innocent traders? How will they feed their families, pay their rents? What about the medications that will expire? Who will bear all these costs?

I can never understand how an educated person can make this kind of decision. How do you make unilateral decisions without considering the people that'll feel the heat of your decision? What if the NAFDAC DG had a shop in that market, would she have done the same thing?

I just tire.

helinues:


You are yet to tell us what the N700k payment is for precisely.

Also what's the value of the traders goods that NAFDAC would be demanding N700k? How many of the traders that their goods worth N5m? N700k is even above 10%.

How much profits do they make with their goods that they will have to pay N700k to NAFDAC?

Actually, VDM's allegation is massive, and he's got receipts to back it up.

I think the onus is on NAFDAC to clearly and directly respond...to offer clarity to the situation.

It's established that the traders paid 700k to an operated by NAFDAC....the details are in the open for everyone to see...unless someone else opened an in that name...which is highly unlikely.

VDM's allegation should trigger robust investigations and public statements...not the threat the lady is trying to do.

I expected her to deny or accept the allegation. She didn't say anything about it. Are you not curious, or worried, that traders are paying that kind of amount...? I'm actually curious. Really trying to understand the exact reason to impose such a fine on traders...I've thought about this, and I just can't find any acceptable reason.

NAFDAC owes Nigerians an explanation. And VDM is on the right track, especially if he proceeds to press the traders to seek redress in court.

CorrectionFLuid:


The military already burns down villages because of the actions of some criminals who may actually be ersby. The day is here already. Stop hoping.

Actually, you're right...and this is the sad reality we find ourselves in.

RedRoseQueen:
Atleast they have offered a friendly invite. Let's see if he will honor them

Is that how they offer invites to young boys that are accused of being internet fraudsters?

Jonjam269:
Some people will go to any length to discredit NAFDAC. , they almost destroyed a former DG from their own region. Just echo their views, and suddenly you're a messiah, they’ll worship you as long as you what they like and attack what they hate. Principles don’t matter, only alignment.

Pray tell...

What's the principle behind asking traders to pay 500-700,000 before giving them access to their shops?

RichBoy247:


So selling fake products is people’s livelihood

Did NAFDAC say that all the traders in the said market deal on fake medications?

I think most of us just say anything that pops in our head....probably because we are not affected directly.

It's, however, not a good way of life to only speak the truth when we are affected.

Let's just hope it never gets to a day where the police will pack everyone in an entire town because one criminal committed a crime.

LordBiden:
You where stopped because you looked like a criminal.
You can't dress responsible and get stopped.

No sane Nigerian police man will stop someone like me who always goes with a clean low cut hair and my business ID card.

With your dreads looking like my mopping stick.

The criminal politicians looting our commonwealth don't wear dreads.

The criminal and corrupt civil servants diverting funds and doing all sorts of crazy things don't wear dreads.

How about the criminal lecturers...those that order for sex for grades? Those that sell their grades? They do not wear dreads.

Boko Haram terrorists do not wear dreads.
How many IPOB terrorists have you seen on dreads?
How about the Fulani kidnappers?

So, what's the basis of your conclusion that he looks like a criminal?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RLz5sZcqxRQp

I just saw this video on YouTube.


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RLz5sZcqxRQp


Recall some months ago when NAFDAC raided Onitsha drug market and made some arrests? Traders were accused of selling fake drugs.

In this video, VDM is seen advocating for the traders in the market. Allegedly, NAFDAC had locked up all the shops in the market, and now traders are allegedly required to pay N500,000 to N700,000 as some sort of fine before being granted access to their shops. As at the time the video was shot, about a thousand traders had already paid this so-called fine.

VDM is calling for the attention of Nigerians and those in power to this unbelievable issue. He's querying the reason for this absurd payment, he also promised to help the traders organize themselves and sue NAFDAC.

I tried to look this up online to see if there are other sources with a similar claim of traders being forced to pay over N500,000 before gaining access to their shops. Sadly, I could not find any. In the video, however, VDM held a piece of paper that looked like a receipt of someone that appears to have paid the money.

There's an urgent need to investigate this case and substantiate the claim made by the traders. It's just unbelievable...like, why should the traders be required to pay any amount to get access to their businesses? What's the purpose of such a payment? What's the morality behind this move by NAFDAC (if found to be true)?

I think NAFDAC should respond to these allegations and clarify things with the public. When they started their operations, I ed them...but the manner the operations have gone, and with complaints like the one in the video, I'm beginning to have a rethink whether NAFDAC had an ulterior motive from the start.

tuoyoojo:


Get the whole picture, what ever you are receiving for free, someone or something is paying for it. It doesn't have to be in monetary but something or someone is paying

In relationships matter, esp as it concerns man and woman, there is no agape love, almost every is transactional, you give something to receive something

Still differ sha...but I get your point..

tuoyoojo:
Them don do this one strong thing. E don dey form advice giver.

For everything that is free, someone is paying for it. Even in Freetown, there is no free lunch. Niceness comes at a cost. If you collect, you must pay

I kind of disagree with your perspective.

A lot of things are given in life for free. No be everything be pay as you carry.

Sabadon:
this will be counter productive, it may get to a point the whole world ll isolate the US

Actually, it is near impossible for the world to isolate the USA.

I'm just being careful, don't want to say it's impossible.
