Safety is also getting home on time; while it is still day.

You can be alive and be in the kidnappers den. That is not safety.

The roads are lonely, and unsafe. If the roads are good, jack your speed up to at least be in sight of another vehicle. You cannot be doing 100km/hr as if we are in Texas.

No time to waste time for highway. No be cruise i pay for.

If road free, open leg, abeg

You go make money for Police well when they take you for defensive driving

I paid over $500 over 3yrs for overspeeding ticket. you either pay and go for classes or lose driving privileges

Na why i no dey there naa

You cannot be observing 80km/hr on a very dangerous highway.

Kidnappers go lodge you inside bush.

raumdeuter:


That is because gen noises makes some of them unable to sleep. So should they endure noise and sleepless nights?

GloriousGbola:


which is why i discussed financial level

i first lived among retirees. they were the ones who made generator an issue. now where i live no one has ever complained. and now where i used to live most of the retirees have sold their houses and left.

the issue was not so much noise as it was somthing they were not partaking in.

Summary: The tweet describes a traumatic experience of police harassment in Nigeria. The person encountered a man claiming to be a NEPA official who opened their gate without a key. Ten men, one carrying an AK-47, entered their property. The person demanded to see their IDs and a search warrant, which was eventually provided but had no address or specific name. There was a struggle over the house key, but the person stood their ground. The police officer lectured them on resisting arrest. They insisted on reading the warrant before proceeding.

Highlights from comments:
1. The person details the encounter with the NEPA official and the subsequent entry of multiple men, including one with an AK-47.
2. The person highlights the lack of proper identification and a search warrant with no address or specific name.
3. The struggle over the house key and the person's determination to protect their home.
4. The police officer's lecture on resisting arrest and the person's insistence on reading the warrant.
5. The person's refusal to give access to their apartment without a valid reason and proper documentation.

If you have your retired parents staying in an estate where most of the neighbors are either going to onsite work or retired people like them, they now see a 27yr old who doesn't leave home to work, move with laptops and God help him dresses unconventionally, like braid hair or pierce his ears be sure they won't be comfortable and if any issue happens in the neighborhood that looks like an inside job he will be the first suspect.

raumdeuter:


I honestly don't see anything wrong in what the neighbor did, Its the irresponsible police that is the problem

Which is why I always say profiling is part of human nature when people in US complain about profiling. The poster was simply profiled by his neighbor and he was odd

While the same profile of the guy I described above if he lives in Lekki would not be so out of place

It doesn't make them wrong it doesn't make them racists

We always encourage, if you see something out of place, say something

Bros, dey calm down. Afrojuju ke? Next thing, you go mention Apala

Burna's good. The best at the moment. But I think you need to calm down with the worship. Wizkid is more than a worthy rival, IMO. He has had more success on the home front and has the longevity to back his argument. Burna's success was propelled by the Black diaspora, not his home base. An inversion of the natural process of 'blowing'. It was when he started getting international recognition, starting with 'Ye' that people began to jump on his train. You can't be the GOAT of something as tribal as Afrobeats if it took foreigners for your own people to truly recognise you.

This constant fellating of Burna is why he keeps misbehaving and thinks he's tiers above everyone else. Throwing his colleagues under the bus in interviews. He is very good at what he does, no doubt but saying it's an insult to mention him alongside other Nigerian artistes is disrespecting the numerous talented artistes we have in the industry.

Bombblacks:

What the hell did I just read. This is the same nonsense that has gotten so many blacks arrested and even killed unfairly yet you are justifying it with such a shocking scenario. If you have been wrongly profiled with serious consequences you won't be here typing this.

BlueRayDick:


Burna is who he thinks he is and MORE!

Thank you
I wanted to use America police profiling black man as armed and dangerous until he's verified as example too
In my CDA we are advised to say anything odd no matter how little because if such odd thing germinate e go reach everyone

raumdeuter:


Who told you I have not been profiled? I was stopped by police I gave them what they asked and I was let go. They are doing their jobs and anything I can do to make their jobs of securing me and my community safer is welcome. I will assist them to do that

I don't have a problem with being profiled since I did not commit any crime. I willingly comply with law enforcement. Profiling is a legit policing tactic and everyone does in their regular lives

Shalli Shalli and Rema in the studio cooking. Benin to the freaking world. Like wizkid said, if shallipopi cough, you must shake body. Talent too full the boy body

Bombblacks:

Hogwash. Your rare encounter doesn't neglect the hundreds of cases where blacks were profiled, arrested, harassed, sent to prison and even killed. Profiling is not their job. Their job is getting concrete evidence and then acting on it . Tell me the suspicious activity in the story that was shared here. How is it different from when Nigerian police were brutalizing and killing young men just because they looked good which lead to the endsars protest.

CARDOSO’S INTERVIEW WITH ARISETV:-

On Forex backlog :-The biggest high point which has made the news is the discovery of yet another $2.4 billion unverifiable claims which are more or less fraudulent. He then assured the CBN was going to pay the verifiable balance of $2.2 billion “shortly”

On Naira Stability :- He stressed the need to tame the current Volatility which remains his most overriding concern. He said they were looking to make the market more open, transparent and further liberalize it, which will then lead to the effective price discovery of Naira.

In saving the Naira:-

Short term goals are;- Banks selling their excess dollars, getting most of the diaspora remittance into the official channel by engaging stakeholders, and making NNPC and MDAs accrue their forex earnings to the CBN.

Mid term goals:- Build market confidence to attract Foreign portfolio investment ( FPI). He said a lot of investors have shown interest and taking notes of the reforms

Long term goal :- Increasing export and FDI.
He remains bullish about the fact that Naira is still very much undervalued and also reiterated that CBN is not converting domiciliary account into Naira as that “goes against the grain of a free market”.

On CBN’s Fiscal Intervention:- Cardoso walks back on his earlier stance. He said the CBN is opened to intervention but must be well thought out and with the direct collaboration of all stakeholders as CBN do not have the luxury to another failed intervention. He mentioned the prospect of potential interventions to farmers, manufacturers and MSMEs.

On MPC:- New members of the monetary policy committee have been chosen and to be made public soon. He promised to make their decisions impactful to the economy.

Finally he talked about getting feedback from Nigerians about their policies especially through social media. He reassured Nigerians that there is no need to panic and the time for cynicism was in the past. He is moving ahead and focused on getting things done.

Copied.
