TemporaryHansel:
Disstroy so you can't mention the model and year of the 15m luxury car. You're shameless.

Everybody saw that yarns but let it go but Diggz said NO! Not on my watch.

izzou:
Diggz

Remind me never to cross your path

What is this, abeg?

When he started by asking angelic and saintly questions i already knew where he was headed.

raumdeuter:


You are asking for example of abuse by Senators, I am asking you how many of them do you think abuse their constituency funds

You say na jumping from pillar to post

The guy say make i bring evidence of meeting 10m Nigerians. Like say i be blogger or YouTuber wey dey record all my interactions. He has said he is not ready to agree.

izzou:


Why should I agree, when I meet Nigerians every single day?

I go to states I have no idea of, and I meet Nigerians there

So on what grounds should I actually agree?

That is why i said you don't have to agree na. LOL

izzou:


Nobody said Politicians are not a representative of the people.

You are claiming their negative actions are a reflection of the Nigerian people. Fat lie, doc.

It can never be, unless you have a way to show me how you have encountered 10 million Nigerians.

You don't have to agree, my guy.

izzou:


You don't have to be sure.

Even if I was, it is not a reflection of 200 million people.

How many Senators, or political appointees have attacked airlines for missing their flight? I'm assuming these set are influential enough to do that.

But when one person does it, we all are wicked

When Hushpuppy was caught, every Nigerian is a scammer

Make una dey try fear God inside the exaggerations.

You modified a statement to your own desire and then started attacking and criticizing it.

The point is not about EVERY Nigerian being this or that. The point is that the politicians are indicative or representative of the people. They are only doing their own on a larger and more high-profile scale. This all started from the claim that the politicians were different from the people, not a statistical exercise on whether 95% or 87.46% of Nigerians were wicked.

They should go and search for and then burn the shrine that converts saintly Nigerian people to demonic Nigerian politicians.


What a soothing fantasy.

izzou:


I am sure you are different from them.

But let us assume the entire country is the same, except you/we/us.

Thanks for the trust. I am not sure about you sha.

A country is producing corrupt and wicked politicians in bulk, generation after generation BUT somehow miraculously the general population that is producing these politicians is totally different.

izzou:


I was not at the airport, but I can bet you that a lot of rich people flew this week.

Infact, we can say a good number of rich Nigerians have missed their flight this year.

People miss their flights everyday. We are yet to see Air Peace releasing back to back statements on this kind of behavior

But when one person does it, it's a reflection of who Nigerians are, innit?

The Nigerian that had the influence to do it, did it.

The Nigerians that have the influence to block road for parties have been doing it for decades.

The ones that think they can block the road with their car, while other motorists beg them when they are in the wrong have been doing it for years.

The ones that will hold the key to the staff toilet so that they can have access to a clean toilet while other staff have to go elsewhere, do it.

The ones using hospital ambulance to transport esteemo are doing it.

Everybody is doing what his/her power can carry.

When Oshomole was a tailor he will claim the labor leaders are the devil
When he became a labor leader he will claim politicians, Governors and Senators are the devil
When he became a politician governor and now Senator he will now see it has always been inside him

Just like many today claiming our politicians are a special breed until they become politicians

100%.

Private citizens blocking the road with their cars and refusing to allow other cars , even though they are in the wrong. Chilling in their Benz SUV thinking they do not have to listen to these Toyota and Honda driving rabble. People begging "oga, please now, just reverse a little so that other cars can move".

Oshiomole just did it at the level available to him, just like most other Nigerians do.

The idea that once people become political leaders, they enter one shrine or room, and their entire personality/character/value system gets an instantaneous demonic overhaul, is a soothing fantasy.

Power does not change people. It only reveals who they truly are.

Theflint1:

Diggz dey dangerous. Anytime you see him asking questions so peacefully you have to take your time.

diggz:


Bro abeg epp me. I no get power for whataboutism today. Just try drop everything in one place so I can better understand your reasoning. Thank you 🙏🏾

See as you dey ask question like saint. E be like say you don set one trap somewhere. Who no know you for this thread?

BlueRayDick:


It is actually a risk that is not peculiar to Nigeria.

If u are involved in project finance and u want to access credit from international lenders like IFC, they will require you to get yourself protected by getting insurances that will cater for losses that may be attributable to fraud or dishonest act of ur employees. It doesn't matter whether u are located in Africa or Asia.

That being said, I am not saying the rate at which people embezzle and misappropriate funds in this part of the world is normal. That is a totally different discussion entirely which I didn't intend to have with my response to Amoto. I was just clearing him that he's just forcing the sabotage angle and that he's made it a hill upon which he will build his mosque(Pun intended)

Yeah, i was not addressing the sabotage angle.

And you hit the nail on the head. Embezzlement is not a Nigerian word after all. It is all about the rate and audacity. Even politicians abroad are said to be corrupt. One of my neighbors was complaining about corruption here a couple of months ago and the Nigerians amongst us were just smiling. The guy no understand say there are levels to corruption.

GloriousGbola:


diesel theft is big business across board unfortunately

we had a tanker driver delivering diesel to an industrial customer simply remove the diesel and replace with water

there is a company that introduced automated tank guaging to nigeria. you would just find that engineering and maintenance departments had been over invoicing diesel consumption for years.

just last week, a client who we had supplied a generator to call us to complain that it was leaking diesel. w found someone had opened the tank drain, probably to siphon off some diesel and did not close it back properly. So the generator was leaking diesel.

from the lowly maiguard to the head of maintenance, everyone is in on it

The head gateman at one private hospital i worked at around 2007-2008 was in charge of buying diesel and starting the generator. The guy used to siphon both the funds meant for diesel and the diesel itself. I will be on night shift and the guy will put the gen off latest by 10pm claiming there is no fuel. His usual pattern was to wait until the MD finishes seeing patients. Immediately the MD's car drives through the gate the gen goes off. Meanwhile the guy will be pocketing all the extra money. If you see where this guy is analyzing and criticizing the government, you will think he is another Gani Fawehinmi.

KingTom:

I was waiting for you, I know say you no go gree

No be fight na. Me i was just commenting on the makanaki something.

If you see how my mum was nearly having panic attack when she visited me over making sure she had US dollars to drop for airport officials in Nigeria. Fellow ordinary Nigerians o. Not politicians.

All the examples i gave that day were not hypotheticals but some of the examples i personally witnessed from about 15-20 years ago in Nigeria.

BlueRayDick:


😂😂😂

This is normal fraud that happens in almost companies. Bankers divert bank funds and withdraw customers fund illegally, drivers of trucks of manufacturing firms run off with truckload of goods, site managers sell off construction materials, etc.

These are typical business risks which most businessmen men already put in measures to manage. I'm sure Dangote has fidelity guarantee insurance that will reimburse him for whatever amount out of the 4 billion naira they are unable to reviver from the culprit after prosecution. It's one of the requirements his lenders would have him provide before they advance him credit for the construction and operation of the refinery.

That's not "another case of sabotage" , it's just defalcating employees trying to defraud their employer and getting caught.

Bankers normally divert funds. Drivers normally run away with company goods. Site managers normally sell off construction materials.
We however expect this society that has people from all works of life normally and fraudulently obtaining whatever they can get their hands on to produce politicians that will not normally embezzle public funds.

It is a makanaki something.

09:


Not sabotage. Just pure crookedness and thievery which doesnt surprise most of us

Private sector professionals who would also argue that they are completely different from the politicians.

Befuddling that people were still disputing afrodoc's position the other day about the similarity between the average Nigerian and their politicians.

Anyone who thinks otherwise isnt being totally honest or has a political agenda/undertone. There's a mindset problem that needs a overhaul

If a few of those 12 people become local government chairmen or commissioners in the future, people will start acting shocked and asking why Nigerian politicians are wicked.

patrickmuf:
Sane is done at top level football. He stopped trying after he left City. Maybe Pep was trying to push him so he can fulfill his huge potentials but he wanted none of that...Another talented player who failed to live up to his potential...

Since Sane's ACL injury he has not been the same. It changed him from lightning fast to just another player with decent speed. It also altered the trajectory he was on in his last 2 seasons at City. For a player whose strength was that speed and not supreme technical ability, that was the beginning of the end.

BlueRayDick:


He was just 49 years old.

God knows what the nature of his sickness is; he looks way older than his age.

Cancer until proven otherwise.

Ibime:


Should be twice a day, morning and evening after each bath

I realised recently most Oyinbos only bath once a week, at best twice

I suspected this for years the way actors in movies just jump up from bed, brush their teeth, and head off to work. When i got to the abroad i confirmed it. It's tough.

Ronaldo should chill on the Botox. To shout for joy don become WAEC for am.

Lamine Yamal wear ring of power for this game.

patrickmuf:
So calm on the ball yet can still roughen things up...

Anyhow you like am.

It looks like nobody here has ever intentionally smashed s danfo's windscreen. I wonder why?

Capaldi:
Italy have quality players when everyone is fit.

Goalkeepers: Donnarumma, Vicario, Meret

Defenders: Cambaiasso/ Di Lorenzo. Bastoni. Scalvani/Calafiori Udogie/Di Marco

Midfield: Tonali, Barella and any of locatelli, Fratessi, Rovella, Zaniolo etc

Wingers: Maldini, Orsolina, Raspadori,

Strikers: Retegui with kean as back up.

All the wingers you mentioned are mediocre. Retegui at 26 has had only 1 good season in Europe and was going on loan for years until he turned 24. The jury is still out on him. Keane is 25 and this season was his first season scoring more than 12 league goals.

Outside the GK, Tonali, and maybe Barella and Bastoni na mediocre full the squad.

The 2002 squad (that didn't even go far) for instance had Cannavaro, Nesta, Pirlo, De Piero, Totti, Vieri, Buffon, Inzaghi, Albertini, Zambrotta.

Italy is not producing talented players at the rate and of the quality of some of the other nations. That is the truth.

KingTom:

You've said it all, we have a Rev. Fr as Governor and he's still towing the path of those we love to vilify so what's man talkin' about

People obviously feel more at ease and sleep better at night when they believe our politicians are somehow a different breed from the rest of the population and not reflective of the society that produces them.

This is in spite of contrary evidence and verifiable facts. It is a subconscious coping mechanism.

CapitalCee:


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The thing shock me sef when he said that.

I had to go and crosscheck the previous pages to be sure it was the same person.

The players we have been linked to have the potential to succeed in our team if we have the right system in place but there is no guarantee in sports.

I am more interested in us not buying players that can only work in a 3-4-3 system that we might be changing from in 6 months. I also don't want the kind of fees/contracts that will hamstring us for years like ETH did with Antony, Rasmus, Mount, and even Lisandro Martinez. In case these new players fail, they should not become immovable albatrosses around our neck for years.

nitrogen:


Larride no like to dey stay for one place. Everybody go dey alright sha.

E dey confusing ni. He has been saying it is a bad idea to sign him since and is now going at you for also criticizing the deal.

larride:


Me don't like Mbuemo, I have stated my opinion and that's that.

But you are now criticizing someone who is saying it is a shitty deal? Isn't that your opinion as well?

larride:


Na the board representative for here you dey follow talk oo.

Left to nitrogen, if na only 20m the club spend, he's happy.

But last week you were saying Mbeumo was a bad idea and that you would rather keep Rashford than sign him.
