Politics / Re: Are You Still Batified? by etunoman76(m): 8:44pm On Feb 18
emkz:
Yes.

For many years, we have been living in a bubble. We subsidized the consumption by the rich. Our refineries have not been producing. There was pervasive insecurity. Oil theft was rife. Chinese were stealing from us. We started handing out dollars to people for reasons that don't make sense. The subsidy was consistently being abused by people who claimed it and still took the products across the borders. Local fuel consumption was inflated. There were no investments in critical infrastructure. Questionable billionaires emerged following the start of the 4th republic. The bought banks and no one knows the source of their incomes. Industries completely collapsed and religion became rife.

Infact, we started borrowing to pay salaries and subsidies. People like Professor Usman Yusuf in NHIS used their positions to rob the nation. Today, they are sudden moralists for a better Nigeria.

What Tinubu is doing is an attempt to refocus things so that the pains will not be even more in the future. Tinubu demonstrates the boldness many before him lacked. We can see some improvements in certain areas. For example, after the kidnap of the Nabeeha family and the killing of Nabeeha herself, we can see how Wike and Co swung into action and have arrested the masterminds. Our military chiefs are not talking too much and are doing the job.

I recall when they started partitioning roads in Lagos for BRT. As soon as the buses were rolled out, no one criticized Tinubu again. So the suffering we are currently facing are pains that will pass.

We only call on Tinubu to go after the sponsors of terrorism, banditry and rogue businessmen inflating prices. We also call on governors to show workings. It is evil for PDP governors to be attacking the president when they should be worried and working harder for their people.

As a people, let us put the same pressure on the governors, representatives and senators as we put on the president.

If the elections hold again, I'd still throw my weight behind Tinubu. Atiku had his time, and he had nothing to show for it beyond plundering national assets to cronies. He is one of the architects of the current mess and should take responsibility. He also lacks understanding of presidential processes. Peter Obi is just a revolt against the status quo and people conveniently forgot he was a governor as well and Anambra did not improve.

Any sincere Nigerian would make suggestions to help the nation.

My question here is that is it not the same APC party that had Buhari as president. During the time of Buhari we were told to be patient after they spent the first 4 years blaming the Jonathan administration for everything. We are suppose to be consolidating on the gains, if there was any, of the past administration of the same party, and not for a worsening situation like we are having at the moment.

It is rather disheartening that some people are attacking the news to be fake, but in the same breath calling out some people/groups to be the perpetrators of the fake news. If you can't prove your claim, then it simply means you are also guilty.
Religion / Re: Why We Sacked Winners Pastors - Oyedepo Breaks Silence by etunoman76(m): 3:48pm On Jul 22, 2021
It is good to go out there and win souls, but what exactly is being done to 'keep' them if they are eventually won? I have worked closely with the pastorate of one of the well established assemblies of LFC in Abuja and I know what transpires.
Some members here make their assumptions based on what they see from afar or what they hear. But it goes beyond all that.
The population of a church shouldn't be used as the yardstick to judge its growth but the nos of souls actually saved. If you have so many churches in a locality and the vices there are not reflecting it, then there's an underlying issue(s).
The Follow Up unit in LFC used to be quite effective, but not anymore, at least in my assembly. I think the church is more interested in the nos of first timers that come for every Sunday service than the ones that are genuinely saved.

As for the income part, there's more to it, but what I'd state here for now is that whatever the local assembly generates, small part of it is retained to cater for it while most of it is transferred to the national headquarters. On this, there have been murmurings, but no senior pastor, I am aware of, has openly kicked against it. If you know how much is retained you'd feel sorry for some of these local assemblies. And you are on your own if it runs out before the end of that particular month and I have seen it happen severally. Even accommodation for the pastors, apart from the senior, is a huge wahala on its own.

Crime / Re: Police Killed My Sister A Day Before Her NYSC Passing Out - Lady To Panel by etunoman76(m): 1:33pm On Nov 06, 2020
Skyfornia:
Sad story...I have noticed that many of the victims of police brutality seem to be Igbos.

Also I believe that some of these incidents could have been avoided if the victims obeyed the police. Please whenever you are stopped by police, kindly obey every instructions from them..no need arguing and claiming you know your right, some of these police men are always high and scared too..don't go and waste your life arguing with a trigger happy policeman.

I quite agree on some police men being high sometimes, especially at night. 2 years ago, my wife and I stopped at the junction of the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Airport Road, Jabi, to ask some policemen in their patrol van direction to the place. My car internal light was lit to show that it was just me and my wife in the car, I had just greeted the officers and was about to ask for direction after the officer closest to us had responded, only for one policeman in the dark to jump to my wife's side of the car with gun cocked and I am still pretty sure his finger was already on the trigger. "Yes, Oga wetin you want?" The expression on his face was of a drunk with glazed eyes and he was swaying from side to side with gun pointed at us. It was his colleague that was attending to us that quickly told him to calm down that he was already attending to us.

It was after we got home from the hospital that night, where we went to see a friend's wife that put to bed and needed our attention, that the seriousness of the incident hit me. It is better imagined what that sort of officer was capable of doing if any of us in the car had made any move that seemed threatening to him in his state of mind at that time.
Crime / Re: Police Confirm Death Of 4 Kidnapped Ghanaian Girls by etunoman76(m): 8:03am On Sep 18, 2019
Esseite:
Criminals and fraudsters complain of bad governance being the reason things are wrong or why they chose their various evil paths... I tell you, its laziness and quick wealth mentality. Even if we have the best of governance today, they cant fit into the workings of the society, their CV's are relegated, they have no skills or even know how to run a business. Their expense is so bloated that it needs a multimillion naira business to fund it.

So it's not necessarily bad Governance, it's an individual thing.

They have created so much bad name for Nigeria internationally and now even in Africa. Now at the mention you are a Nigerian, your bags are searched twice, your passport is given special security checks, you are vetted like a caveman, your purpose of visit is re-confirmed while you are placed under security watch. Meanwhile someone from Djibouti just strolls unbothered..

Is that life?

So our response:
- it's his life
- it's not my business
- he is my friend
- it's the economy..

The world sees us as same and equal, if one finger touches oil, it spreads amongst the rest.


I agree with you cos even those that eventually make it to better environment with good governance, like Italy, USA, Canada etc, still indulge in all sorts of crime

Why must he park in front of a 2star general house....is he mad?... Dey politely told him...yet he refuse... Haba...he(the car owner) can be accuse of anytin....

And are there no better ways of handling such cases instead of violence? We have become so used to violence in this country and have accepted it as a norm. What stopped the rating from impounding the car?

Something is amiss. And because of the high level of cover up and deceit in our systems, this case, just like others, will be swept under the carpet.
Human lives mean nothing any more in this country. We have become endangered species in our own land.

Eziokwugbaoto:
If God were to say that only those that didn't hear about the following words (COZA, krest, Fatoyinbo and Busola) today in Nigeria would make heaven. I guess we all are stuck.
This scandal whether it's true or not has further reminded parents of the role of friendship they should play in their children's lives so that these children will see you as a friend and be able to tell you whatsoever going on in their life. Imagine this story is coming up after 15 years.
Hey! you reading this now watch out, that paedophile might be the neighbour next door. Let's always be alert to little little signs we think don't matter. Eg.
1. You see those uncles always calling small small girls 'my wife' watch them closely I repeat closely they are not far from being suspects.
2. When your girl child is not comfortable with a particular person or her mood changes immediately you bring up any topic about the person or she frequently voices out her dislike for that person don't force her to like the dude you might be hurting her without knowing, try and talk with her to ascertain if there's more to it than meets the eye.
Finally, never hush your child or tell them to shut up just hear them out even if what they are saying is sounding gibberish to you. I'm sure you've heard the saying that there's some sort of sense in nonsense and when they tell you about a sensitive issue always do something about it you're their guardian angel if you don't know.
#Saynotorape

I'd say this is one of the most thought provoking comments I have read on the ongoing rape saga, so far. Thank you for this. I have two very young children and it would be heartrending if they are taken advantage of.
