DrHoganObi:
If you repair phones and somebody came to you and said he forgot the password to this particular phone and can't open it, what will you do?

If you forgot the password, go to the provider for FREE...
We Nigerians must learn to do the CORRECT/HONEST things.

The reason there is so much phone theft...
Is that there are UNSCRUPULOUS repairers such as these.
>

MrHighSea:
Then why ARREST him.
They should've WORKED with him.

This discourages other reporters.

He shouldn’t have been arrested...
It appears that he was apprehended by the neighbors and taken to the police.

Nonetheless, even if he was arrested by the police at the start of investigations...
He must have since been released upon investigation and confirmation of the facts.

Either way, he deserves a National Honor.

LaExpert:
I don't think this "automatic employment" thing is good. People should screened for positions they are to work.

Agreed, but first-class should get you into almost any door to be screened...
The “job” of students is to get good grades, and these lot have already displayed the APTITUDE to get their jobs done properly.

Amthol:
And this is suppose to be a good news instead of the government to invest more in their education so that in the nearest future they can impact meaningfully into the society and Nigeria at large. I hope we learn one of these days knowing for a fact that we are various endowed.

So you are saying that dunces should be granted automatic CBN employment as well?

PAID ADVERTISEMENT...

Nothing wrong with that...
But abegi next time just put “Sponsored Content” in the heading. Thanks.

backnbeta:
Leave the phone guy, unless you can prove beyond reasonable doubt that he flashed the phone Knowing it was stolen... people flash phones for different reasons

If the repairer had to crack a security code in the process...
He should be fully prosecuted (not necessarily accessory to murder, but at the very least to theft).

Meanwhile, Joel Musa (the Okada man) deserves a NATIONAL HONOR...
Without him (not only his instinct but his courage in reporting), this crime will likely have gone unsolved!

Jabioro:
A 20 years old boy digging the pot of her mama age mate,are you not stopping at that you also killed her..For the phone flasher I urge the police to release him, i also thank the olokada man who notice the first evidence that lead to the arrest of that good for nothing murderer boy

blackboy2star:
WHY PARADE THE PHONE REPAIRER? NAIJA POLICE AND THEIR MEDIA STUNT

Why? He fully knows that only a stolen phone needs to be “wiped” by a roadside repairer...
He might not necessarily be charged as an accessory to murder (unless additional facts emerge), but definitely an accessory to theft.

Now let me add this.

I know some folks who cried blue murder when it was announced the FG would henceforth stop the issuance of forex for the importation of stuffs like rice. They rained insults as is typical of those who have sworn over their dead bodies to see any propriety whatsoever in the actions taken by the government.

Now, I want to ask, in the absence of such fiscal policies, how do we expect businesses such as this to thrive? How do we expect the local market to come of age? How do we wean ourselves off of imported products that can easily be produced locally?

Kudos to Coscharis for this. I hope and pray we see more of such developments in the days, months and years ahead.

God bless Nigeria.

Sorry, but that is a truly DUMB policy...

The biggest problem that our producers have is infrastructural (including logistics). That’s why most of our products are way more expensive, because the cost of agricultural production and distribution in Nigeria is prohibitively high (which is why goods produced and shipped from halfway across the world still ends up being SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER than locally-produced Nigerian goods). The foreign exchange restriction does NOTHING to address that. The result therefore is that at best all that would happen is the Nigerian consumer being taxed with simply paying HIGHER prices (in an already high-inflation environment, with increasingly weakening purchasing power).

Furthermore, it also does absolutely NOTHING to address one of the biggest scourges of domestic producers - smuggling! For example, smuggling (related to the aforementioned absurdly high cost of production brought about by infrastructural deficits including a lack of suitable storage facilities and economically-viable logistics) is the singular reason that Nigeria is BOTH Africa’s biggest producer of raw tomatoes and simultaneously Africa’s leading importer of tomato paste. Finally, if agricultural imports that Nigeria will not possibly be self-sufficient in the near future are affected (eg, wheat), then it would have even knock-on effect on prices (the common man’s Agege bread, in this case).

Without addressing basic fundamental issues, all Buhari has done is to preserve more foreign exchange to subsidize his pals and their families for their medical tourism, overseas trips’ estacode and allowances, kids’ overseas school fees, Hajj, and other such wasteful expenditures.

Before you use Ghana as example let me put it to you that A[b]m currently in Ghana , and it has always been complain about complain[/b] so don't go there.

In Ghana fuel is almost 500 naira per litter.

1 usd in Ghana is almost 500 naira .

Why did you think they are disturbing does Nigerian traders here if not for the fact that things are not well with them?

everyday you open your Tv and radio it is all about scandals and corruption debate between the ruling NPP and opposition NDC. So look for another country to use as example not Ghana.

Even in the US, UK and Canada people complain and complain...
Your question was about BETTERING the lives of its people, not perfection.

In that regard, Ghana, Rwanda, Botswana and even Ethiopia have done so.
>

stormborn28:
let me tell, there is no reason for you to speak from both sides of your mouth...

Every county has laws against criminals irrespective of their nationalities , race, colour, gender,religion.... South Africa shying away from doing the right thing you cannt called it "Irrelevant" that is my bone of contention

Not sure what you think was double-speak, so I will reaffirm and reiterate...
What SA does with its laws are IRRELEVANT to what Nigeria should do with its own laws for crimes against Nigerians. PERIOD!!
>

stormborn28:
so, it is irrelevant because the crime wasnt committed against their fellow citizens ...? So it make sense to you from the SA perspective that since the crime was committed against other nationalities, it is irrelevant ...

Seriously, why are you having so much difficult with basic English?

First, this is a Nigerian site and a discussion from the Nigerian perspective, so why would I be concerned with “the SA perspective” for crimes in Nigeria committed by Nigerians against Nigerians?

Nonetheless, of course it makes sense for EVERY country to enforce its laws but it is IRRELEVANT to the enforcement of the laws of Nigeria for crimes in Nigeria committed by Nigerians against Nigerians that some other country failed to enforce its own laws. COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT!

That would be akin to US law enforcement refusing to arrest American criminals for crimes in America committed by Americans against other Americans because Nigeria’s EFCC had not arrested/prosecuted Nigerians in Nigeria for Yahoo crimes against US nationals. SMH

If only Nigeria was a better place, we won't be running out of the country. How many south Africans can we find in Nigeria ?

Even if Nigeria was the best nation on earth, you still won't find many here...
Hate to stereotype, but to be brutally honest many (if not most) of them lack DRIVE!

alobright17:
Which Politician has ever bettered lives in mostly West Africa ? are those people complaining to you ? why not allow them do as they deemed fit ? This wailing is becoming something else .

Do super eagles better anyones life yet people celebrate them

BBN That people are spending there money on doesn't better life yet people are enjoying it. it is there rights to celebrate while it last . stay there and be waiting for a certain President to come and better everyone's life ok. Smh

Just down the road in Ghana, their politicians are bettering their lives...
Meanwhile, Nigerians are apparently not just settling for MEDIOCRITY but celebrating it! SMH

Meanwhile, it doesn't matter if they are "complaining" to us (perhaps they are too ignorant to realize that they should complain - beginning with their (s)elected rulers). Fact is, we do not want to pick up their bills under the so-called Social Investment Program. We do not want 123 (or more) of them rushing down in cattle trailers to our neighbourhoods with no visible means of livelihood except for some substandard Okada motorcycles (without even helmets). Worse, we do not want them becoming the next Boko Haram recruits. So we not only have a mutual-interest but also a self-interest in the material BETTERMENT of their lives, even if they are too ignorant to do push for it themselves.

This is why I said Nigeria government is weak... South Africa embassy should have been closed by now

Nigeria CANNOT "close" the SA High Commission (embassy)...
Nigeria can break off diplomatic relations and expel SA diplomats, but it CANNOT arbitrarily close the High Commission.
>

stormborn28:
what is the meaning of "it is irrelevant if South Africa reciprocate " this was imbedded in your statement.... So I wonder who does not understand English language

Again, basic English cannot possibly be that difficult to understand...
It is irrelevant if SA "reciprocates" by arresting its own criminals to whether criminals in Nigeria are arrested for crimes against NIGERIANS!
>

stormborn28:
so it is irrelevant if South Africa apprehend criminals who killed and looted Nigerians shops but it is ok for Nigerian government to catch and punish those did same here... I can see how selfish and self-centred you are... A lot reason like you here especially those who are blind supporters of the government of the day

Basic English should not be that difficult to understand...
It is IRRELEVANT to whether criminals who commit crimes against NIGERIANS in NIGERIA should be arrested! SMH

Gerrard59:
Condemnation with subtle excuses like "Russia does worse", "it's because we're not rich as a country", "there are good Nigerians all over the world", "government should create jobs" blah blah blah. That's not condemnation.

Regarding looting and killings (which is condemnable), it makes no sense going to another man's country to commit heinous crimes. There should be a name and shame of such individuals (drug lords, yahoo yahoo boys etc.). Without their atrocities, there will be nothing negative to blame Nigerians for.

Dude, it makes no sense to commit heinous crimes ANYWHERE, including in Nigeria...
Nonetheless, any notion (IMPLICIT or explicit) that it justifies barbarism against the group is wrong.

AMI3:
Sorry bro. I am not talking about criminality here. as far as we are concern they are religious sect that has millions of followers across the globe.

"" You cannot expect intelligent people to venerate the unknown"" If I may ask who are the INTELLIGENT and UNINTELLIGENT people?.

I may guess those that believe in "foreign gods" are unintelligent and those that believe in "local gods' are intelligent. IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN?

How do we know that, if you cannot say what beliefs are?
The point is that it is not enough to just say 'respect their beliefs'!

PS: regarding a basic concept such as human intelligence...
Sorry but I decline to address what seems a self-esteem issue. SMH
