That law in itself sounds crazy. Why should they recruit someone just based on the fact that they’ve lived 20years in a locality.

So for example, if an herdsman lived in that particular community for 20years, he is entitled to be part of Amotekun too?

Just like the Miyetti Allah leader in Oyo that claimed he lived in Oyo state for several decades and even said he married a Yoruba. After all his utterances and provocations, this kind of law from Lagos means he also qualifies to be part of Amotekun right?

What else do you all want. The moment you live 20 yrs in a place and speak the local language, then you are part and parcel of the place.

The same Chinese people that come to your countries and even create their own towns called China Town. It seem their rants is directed at coloured people, principally blacks. Africa does not need China. They are need Africa's resources than we need their toxic loans. Let everyone stay in their countries, and we'll see who will cry first. Our people just don't value what they have. Time to send all chinese (prisoners) working in Africa back to China. You can imagine, it's their prisoners they used to Africa.

He is a Professor of Pharmacognosy.... He is good.

INEC tainted him!

He actually have couple of US parents. But his recent exploits with INEC has tainted his reputation. I want to believe him but just can't.

It's high time Nigeria spent on its security forces. Even the 1 trillion is small..Naija has slot of criminals police inclusive but the NPF is so poorly equipped...Going to any of their station is an eyesore..Always a rickety pick up truck and disgruntled officers...It's high time Nigeria Invested massively on its security forces...if all the Abacha loot could be channeled to them under strict supervision of NSA and the CinC, it will be better for all...God bless Nigeria

Easy to say. Except that a bulk of the money will end up in someone's private bank accounts.

pacespot:
You just have to admire these Chinese, they seem to have solutions to any problems, who doesn't know that ducks like locusts than anything the protein rich meal will also assist the ducks to give birth to more ducks to feed on the pests, and more ducks for Chinese human consumption, perfect solution!

I heard China now have solution to Pakistan long dry weather, they can throw some chemical compound into the atmosphere to invite rains where it hasn't been raining.

It seem a big to you because 8n Nigeria people just sit on their ass and do nothing; or a power-broker will make such impossible. I am sitting here at a airport just returned from a trip to Nigeria where I was attempting to sell or collaborate with a state govt on a technology that will save billions in losses to the people and tens to 100 millions in revenue to the govt. After some high level meeting, I was told that sector in this particular state is the territory of power-broker, and state officials can't go near it. Can you imagine. Meaning people can continue to have heart attack over their losses, it does not matter. What kind of beings are Nigerians? Anyway, who need the govt?

Biological Warfare slowly loading

How is this biological warfare? If you don't know about something you should ask. It's a biological way of fighting locust swarm instead of using chemicals. The ducks simply feed on the locust. Does that make sense?

What kind of careless and reckless government allow citizens of China into its borders without an automatic quarantine. Imagine its Nigeria or an African country that is the epicentre, all flights out of the countries would have been banned by now with a log of stigma relates news in the international media. These are leaders with low self-esteem and inferiority complex. Wish I am a president in one of these African countries, especially Nigeria. These foreign countries would give us respect by fire or by force because the first thing I will do is to do are things that will make the citizens respect one another, and believe more in their country. That's what most of Nigerian elites lack.

scribble:
They hate Ogundipe

He is the one that brought down the former finance minister and got her sacked

He did not bring down the finance minister. The finance minister brought herself down. He only investigated and reported what transpired, which are facts.

Isaacadebisi:
Makinde is just trying to be known, go and ask your father in politics Saraki. He will surely tell you that Lagos is no go area.

So. Lagos, a city of over 20 million people is okay to be "ruled" by an emperor who has been in power since 1999. As far as I know, all the other governors are figure heads. They will tell you anything or sector that Tinubu has interest in is a no-go area, even though people are not getting any value for it. Awon "were gbogbo".

michoim:
You think Lagos is oyo state.

Don't mind them. As far as I know Oyo State is still the epicenter of southwest politics. The history is there. And if you compare Saraki to Makinde, you got it all wrong. Saraki is someone whose career is already on a shaky path. This Makinde guy is a breath of fresh air.

Sad as it may seem, soon all other races of the world that has put the black race down would wish they are African. In fact there could be a global rush into African countries.

The same Saudi princes and government that ordered the butchering of a Saudi journalist, Kashogi, are crying over a rap song being unholy.

Hypocrites! They are probably mad because in their eyes she is black and doesn't represent them.

To conspiracy theorists,

Indians are majorly the ones responsible for IRS scams in USA. Plot twist: an Indian man saved the poor woman... God is truly great.

They typically operate call centers in India and use international phone numbers to call unsuspecting victims. So many videos on YouTube about this.

Exactly the same thing I want to say. Coincidentally the can driver is named Singh, likely of Indian descent. A lot of US residents have been victims to the IRS scam because most people dread the IRS. You don't want to have issue with them. They can seize your property, contact your employer in order to garnish your monthly salary or even seize funds in your bank account.

BarrElChapo:
Wait Ozekhome is lawyer to FG here ? Same lawyer to Atiku on the election case ? This our profession sha

The same Ozekhome that will be criticizing federal government on several human right issues. He was also counsel to multiple EFCC suspects. He surely go with the highest bidder.

Simplyleo:
50b from Anambra? How?

Where is the fed govt expecting Anambra to get that from when the annual igr of SE is less than 30bn?

Besides, has Anambra finished paying back the bailout? Let's not talk about minimum wage.

Easi pizi ... monthly deduction from federal allocation. It doesn't have to be deducted at once. It can be deducted/paid over a long time.... several years.

Em5:
So, my supervisor in a new place I work here in the United States asked me where I was from the other day and I replied him Nigeria and he said he never heard of the country and the conversation pretty much ended there.

So two days later he walked straight to my table and asked me directly what's your qualification? I told him I hold a Masters degree, he asked me in what area, and I told him. I saw the surprise in his eyes and he dragged a sit and sat in front of my desk and started to tell me how he decided to look up Nigeria the previous day and how he was surprised he never heard of such a country which recent local statistics has confirmed are the most educated immigrants in the US. And to think that most of the workers here are pretty much High school (Secondary school) graduates and here I was humbly doing my job as though we were mates academically.

What I don't know and I didn't ask him was if he also found out how corrupt my home country is and I really hoped he didnt read that part. Since then he has been relating with me with elevated regard.

This may sound a bit harsh but it's an attempt to challenge you. You find yourself, a Master degree holder, working among mostly high school certificate holders. Now get your ass together no matter how challenging it is and aspire to a career that fits your academic qualifications and aspirations. In the 90s, I washed and cleaned toilets somewhere in the West, worked at Macdonalds cleaning kitchen, spent a summer doing demolition work and constructing railway line. But less than a decade later I was rubbing minds with academic elites somewhere in North America, and few more years I worked in a top energy company exclusively within a group of PhDs. Believe you deserve more and don't relent if you think and believe that. As interesting as this narrative sound, I have also stumbled in attempts to even go further into more financial independence as this is the ultimate. But you must never stop trying.

This amount to nothing. Nigerians and blacks generally only believe in individual achievements and do not do things collectively as other migrants. So they hold no collective economic or political power as the Asians, Indians, Jews and others. To me it's all nothing. In fact in my opinion "they" are not well regarded as a bloc.

Mad people. As if this is the most logical way of funding research. How much have they proposed as prize money for the researcher that find the cure for malaria. "Awon were dede yi"

SoNature:
Uncle, calm down

When the Europeans and Americans started inventing things, the Chinese were sleeping. Check the history of tech revolution.

Just that those two continents are open to sharing knowledge. Today, there are millions of Chinese people attending American schools than the Americans attending Chinese schools.

Also, the local content law of China helped them to catch up with other serious countries.
While every serious country is innovative, no country comes close to the US and Europeans in space and aircraft technologies.

You see, you rarely see Americans doing those things the Chinese do in those pictures. If you have worked with Americans in Nigeria, you will notice the same thing. Those guys are so neat, organized and rarely settle for nonsense.

However, I must give it to the Chinese because they are doing so well for themselves but America still leads even in economic indices

What about your own society? You adore these people so much. Are you just a generation of followers?

Poor dogs. They will just be wondering "what's wrong with this human beings again. What kind of fashion sense is this in this 21st century?"

You can sense the dogs are mad being dressed up this way but can't express it.

RaptorX:
This motherfuckers should keep asking all over the internet why Africa as not been affected. They seem to be unaware that the universe as entered a new dimension and what is normal before is no longer normal. The days of using Africa as your bio weapons testing grounds is over and done with. This time nature is going to boomerang heavily on anyone trying to do such, this decade is going to be interesting and frightening going forward you haven't seen anything yet.

A superbly conscious bro here. Possibly one of the keen "watchers".

They should leave Africa out of their Coranovirus narrative. We have seen the worst already. They thought the last Ebola outbreak will wipe out people in countries like Nigeria but thankfully it was contained. Hopefully this would be contained as well in the countries facing this near pandemic outbreak.

Neoteny:
Bible thumpers will tell you the earth is only 7,000 years old

When we already know that even ancient Egypt, one of the most mentioned places in the bible, is older than that. And that just about 10,000 years ago there was no Sahara Desert because some rocks in that desert today has inscribed images of lions, giraffe and others. And not just that. Part of it was even covered by an ancient sea which has imprints of its drainage system buried underground that can be viewed from space.

lexxwiz:
With the way imo state judgement ended to devour a fourth placed APC clown, I seriously doubt if this young man would come out of this mess.

My prayers are with you, though it was and still is a silly move by calling a protest revolution. You gave up the rights to revolt the very second you contested for the seat of the president. Not to talk of trying to revolt just immediately after you lost. Wrong move. You got it all wrong young man.

I just "saw" some houseflies flew out of your mouth. You possibly have some maggots in your system too. You need immediate medical attention.

Too many people spewing trash. What do you all know about oil exploration and discovery of crude reserves that make you assume there can never be crude oil in the north. Do you even know it's possible that crude oil buried deep thousands of kilometers in the ground in the south can migrate to rock reservoirs located in the north. The north has it's own sedimentary basin. For example, Chad or Niger has been producing oil from their own land that fall under similar climate like part of the north.

The people running Nigeria are not wise. Why would a minister disclose to the world that an area of the country facing insurgency with a territorial
implication contains huge reserve oil. This would be more motivation for Boko Haram as well as enemy countries like France, Turkey and others to continue to fund them with hope of cashing in later. This man has no clue. No power of foresight, nothing.

MRcocaFanta:
It's like you don't know the power a virgin possesses.

Reason why female virgins are mostly require as sacrifices in movies and there is another reason why Nuns are virgins.

My brother, when five to ten virgin nuns with clean heart gather together to pray for you with ancient Gregorian chants and in Latin.

I swear the way you go blow ehn, e go be like say you do money rituals, everything about your life will be magical, each phone calls to your phones a potential money connection.

If you have a young sister or daughter that is a virgin, nurture her into the holy Christian race, let her be deep into JESUS and Christianity and watch as your life and that of the family turn out for Good.

The power of a Virgin.

Any man that has a virgin lady as a girlfriend or lover has hit a jackpot for life.

"Reason why female virgins are mostly require as sacrifices in movies and there is another reason why Nuns are virgins.

My brother, when five to ten virgin nuns with clean heart gather together to pray for you with ancient Gregorian chants and in Latin."

Apparently your own "god" only understands Latin. Wonder shall never end among these Nigerians o.

Antoeni:
Do you Know that “Tacha “ Has More Loyal Supporters & Fans Than Sowore And his AAC Party Put Together

A reflection of how vain Nigerian youths are and a confirmation that their future is shaky and on a treacherous path.

This is where you confirm you can't believe World Bank or any of these international institutions. So, how about all the poor people in the south? They dont count. That data is a lie. Or is World Bank playing politics in Nigeria now?

UstazAhmed:
May Allah the Most Merciful never allow this evil to befall on our beloved nation.

This is the consequence of Chinese persecution on Islam

Now you will claim you are worshiping God. The God I know is not vindictive. Only religious people are, and they claim that heaven is waiting for them. I saw a video of a white pastor who said the reason Ebola "entered" Nigeria and other parts of Africa is because God is persecuting the people there because of corruption. You are all the same.

Officialgarri:
It's quite a shame on you to be among the people who affirms a belief that social media might have come too early to Nigeria.
Everyone child wants to comment even on matters they are totally ignorant about. What do you know about TV stations both analogue and digital? I mean can you even afford a TV set?

Did you and the 'first to comment crew' even try to read the report to the end? No. You just read "$500m" and then your adrenaline pushes you type whatever...

No doubt, the proposed social media regulation would have helped a lot.

Go to Quora or other educative websites and you'd see it will cost about $850m to setup a TV station. But you didn't even read the part where Lai said....

... the loan was aimed at establishing the media and culture industry centre at the cost of $245m, digitise all NTA stations at $11m and construct integrated television services to infuse on network, .......

Instead you were bent on making bold every letter you need to expose your ignorance.

You must be a government contractor. How do you entrust such an amount of money in the hands of gluttons. Or are you one of "them"?
