bro he will fail. His failure will be monumental. There's absolutely nothing Peter Obi, Atiku or Tinubu can do. The salvation of Nigeria rest on the hands of Nigerians. The same Nigerians who see it as their God given right to misbehave and disobey rules and regulations with reckless abandon.

Did you notice how not just the economy, but our values, ethics and morals always take a nose dive anytime a new president is sworn in?

Things will only get worse because the mind of the average Nigerian is corrupt beyond redemption and the system that is suppose to prevent that corruption has been corrupted by Nigerians.

FBS:

Yes we do. It's how it works in every country. It's how they are able to maintain a working system. Without the strict laws in place and adhered to nothing works. Nothing.

Spy360:

So what's your solution because there has to be one.

There is this new scam on Lekki Epe expressway by one particular hawker

This boy will stand in the middle of the traffic, with a broken basin, and his sachets of pure water littered on the road. People would be touched to give him money, thinking he was hit by a car or something

He changes his positions, but he's always between Sangotedo and Abraham Adesanya.

iamoyindamola:

With the traffic is that road still not busy

Ọmọ líle.

As a matter of personal principle , the only people I give money in traffic or on the streets are the handicapped . I don’t believe in giving money to a person with two hands and legs standing in a major road. I believe there are countless menial jobs u can do that will put something into ur pocket and will keep ur integrity/dignity intact ; rather than standing on the road looking for hands out

People who give him money are those who are just encountering him for the first time

So, they would not know its a scam

He will just stand there, with dirt on his body, a broken basin and be staring at his pure water sachets on the ground.

One will most likely think a car hit him, or he fell while running; and then the merciful spirit of yours is triggered

Heh.

One evening in Mile2 as it was starting to rain I saw a wheel chair bound aboki and the person pushing him hustle across the road carrying the wheel chair, scaling the divider and crossing to the other side.

One time I was in a danfo and this 1 armed young guy was begging. Guy was smiling. The conductor was probably on to him and said something that triggered the guy. The way the beggar turned to agbero was something else. We were all weak.

ShaqFu:
yeah right. Yet he was fingered in the Pandora scandal. I heard that.

BlueRayDick:


Na since the day I don encounter those ones wey dey use LASUTH tests result and Doctors prescription lie for that Mobolaji Bank anthony way for Ikeja , na since that day I no dey pity dem.

While going I saw a couple with tears in their eyes move to our bus begging the passengers for assistance that their child was admitted in LASUTH and they had a whole lot of documents and the pictures of the supposed child bedridden.

They said the money they need remains 8k or thereabouts and people started donating .Funny enough they deducted each amount a passenger gives them from the total sum till it remained I think 1k or so. I just gave them 1k and they appreciated us and moved on.

Unfortunately for the dubious couple I spent a great deal of time where I went to and in the evening while on my way , the same couple had changed lanes and were back with the same story for people in our bus . I challenged them right there and then , omo! They just disappeared .

It was the conductor of our bus that now told me that those people are regular on the road na. He said they have people who give them all those LASUTH papers to deceive the unsuspecting members of the public and that they have a particular drug if they take it , they will be all emotional and u will think their tears are real when in fact the tears are induced by the drug . Na that day I know say begging na one big industry

ShaqFu:
so the strict law and system we have in place, is it being adhere to?

Segedinho:
can't call you a pessimist but just point out who isn't corrupt.??.

Human by default are corrupt and would go for a fast and easy link,/way to get what they want and only the system can quash that urge....

It lies in the hand of the gov to make a strict law or put in a working system to restrict the corrupt act..

Saying something cannot work is just being in d dark .....

FBS:

The person responsible for upholding the law is NOT doing his/her job. There is no accountability.
And I don't think we have a system in place and if we do, it is obviously NOT working.

afrodoc2:


It was FDR not Theodore Roosevelt. There is also a difference between mainly motor diseases like Polio or GBS (one of which FDR had) and Parkinson’s which is a continuously progressive disease which ultimately affects both motor and cognitive actions. FDR for instance would never lick a mic.

afrodoc2:


Poor sleep, stress, anxiety etc can definitely make the symptoms more difficult to control, however even if all those are sorted it still is a progressive degenerative disease caused by deposition of bad chemicals and the ongoing death of cells in certain parts of the brain.

Over time the symptoms will continue to get worse and medications will stop working. It might start with just tremors or poor balance but over time the person’s ability to reason well and control bodily motions will become affected. About half will become either depressed or psychotic.

DissTroy:

I'm not going to discuss trustworthiness and accountability with a Tinubu supporter, the biggest thief running in this election.

The same one whose biggest achievement according to you was patching poteholes which turned out to be untrue or partly true as they went back to disrepair in a few weeks.

No way. Credible supporters please!

TrebleChamp:
In summary Tinubu is not healthy enough to be President. - afro.doc2 2023

GloriousGbola:


There was one chick that used to hang around stanbic Bank 23 Rd festac. Well dressed. You are at the atm and she will come up to you crying looking desperate. Her daughter is sick. The first time she cornered me I did nothing because I sensed something was off. After that I actually saw her running the same scam on someone else. The one day I was at the atm and she came for me.even dropped some tears. I just looked at her and started laughing. She understood immediately and disappeared.

It is doubly dangerous because it can also double as a kidnap scam. Please help me my child was in an accident. Please come with me.

Corruption is not black and white. It is a spectrum. The problem is that too many Nigerians of all social classes, income levels have no issues perpetrating killing the golden goose levels of corruption.

You hear of people robbing their company blind. And you are forced to wonder - did they have another job lined up when they killed their current job?

ShaqFu:
Can you prove Tinubu is a thief? Can you prove Tinubu was trialed and convicted and sentenced to jail by a court in Nigeria, or anywhere else?

Just to clear the air, I never said Tinubu's greatest achievement was patching potholes, my posts are there for anybody to peruse and see. This is what many of you who support Peter Obi is good at, twisting words and making allegations you can't prove up and down.

I'm sure if Asiwaju decides to sue you for defamation, your cohorts will rush to support you and accuse Asiwaju of bullying you bla bla bla.

And just so you know, there's no such thing as 'credible supporter' we only have supporters. Period.

seankafor:
lol, I think the joke should be on the company for not putting strict regulatory measures to checkmate excesses

Humans will continue to exploit loopholes until they kingdom come

GloriousGbola:


That is actually the way fraudsters think. Placing the blame on the victim. It is also the reason why so many people give Nigerians a wide berth in business matters.

On the upwork threads it is a common complaint. It is much harder for Nigerians to break in because of well earned bad reputation

Because if you are a person who can only be trustworthy if you are watched like a hawk, you are definitely not a person I want to do business with
