See the new set of people they are blaming? APC una try, blame everyone but yourselves.what happened to consuming made in Nigeria? Must we consume foreign goods? What happened to giving loans to boost agriculture and agro allied industries? What is wrong in having sardines, custard, cornflakes produced in Nigeria? What is wrong if the president and nigerians eat made in Nigeria rice? What is wrong if we drive innoson motors? They will have defects, we will criticize till innoson meets the standard we want.finally, APC have you blamed GEJ today?

Anyi3:
See Nigerian youths. Everyone above me didn't read the epistle before commenting. What a shame.

The writer made serious sense. Malaysia imported our palm trees back in the days and are reaping benefits. There's absolutely nothing wrong in importing agricultural raw materials and then developing your economy.

Again big shame that people above me didn't read or don't know how to.

how can you compare palm tree with grass? Don't u know palm tree is an economic tree? U want to compare it with grass?why can't they task our research insttitutes to produce high yield grass? Na import dem one go import. Shame on you for supporting rubbish..the hypocrisy of psychophants of this government knows no limits

Dahveydson:
Go wail to a wall if you cannot show me where I applauded them for calling GEJ an ineffectual buffon

are you saying you have not been a fanatical supporter of this administration? Are you now ashamed to be associated with this administration? Abi u wan use style wail? No form left, we have even placed a ban on admission of new members into the club

Is rivers state deadlier than borno, yobe and adamawa state?

Dahveydson:
Listen to the economists at your own peril.

PMB refuses to devalue, if you like write a whole bible on it. A policy that is still in motion have been concluded not working already.

Sigh

where you people not applauding when someone wrote a stupid article in the economist calling GEJ an ineffectual buffon now the economist has talen a swipe at your hero, I want us to ignor the paper? U guys have a funny sense of judgement

It is barely a year to the anniversary of this administration, thank God truth is finally coming out.for those in nairaland who insulted oritsejafor endlessly bury your heads in shame and pray to God for forgiveness. for those of us that held contrary opinion to the propaganda, we have been vindicated

senatorbayor:
God bless you real Good for this comment . You have indeed help joseph1832: to realized beating to the extent of inflicting Injuries is not all we need to train up a child . The school is a place where we raise models and the fact that all children cant be the same makes it unique.

How many schools have counseling dept again not to talk of moral instructions .
Many Ogechis have been transformed to Great women in the society .

some of us played pranks in school then and majority of us got refined through counseling and discipline as statistic have shown that children who are trained through the way these teachers and principal acted becomes more adamant and defiant.

the Great Question is this: Can the principal allow her own daughter to be dealt with in such manner Ogechi was treated ?
Today, It is Ogechi, tomorrow it might be Sholape or Amina .
There are various forms of disciplines rather to the method adopted by these teachers and principal

well said, bro

castroevans:
Rip to the dead but I have a feeling that death was more like a reprisal.

hmmm, why do you have that feeling? What did you see, notice or identify from the pic/or perhaps crime scene? Do you know her? What prompted you to form that opinion?

joseph1832:
You will be surprise to know that the ministry of education, as well as most schools, place high value on discipline, and they frown absolutely on rudeness and disrespect to authority.


Yes the teachers went too far, and their actions are shouldn't be commended in any way. They like their emotions get the better of them.

But frankly bro, when the parents of this girl broke this news out on social media, they omitted vital details as to what lead the teachers to act this way towards their child. They just made people believe that the head girl assaulted their daughter for no just course, that's why their daughter returned the slap.

Their omission of this vital detail should tell you a thing or two about them, because from what I've seen so far, they failed in training their child.

The excuse given by the child that she was sick is just too flimsy, because if she was sick, why should her parents allow her leave the house? Is a sick child suppose to be in school?

The girls disobedience is the remote cause of all this, if she had simply done what she was asked to do. All this would not have happened. Its just that simple.

I agree with u that the girl was rude.she could also have been rude to the teachers but that is not a justification for her to be beaten to the extent that she needs to be hospitalized. All children cannot be perfect, there are bound to deviants. How do u manage a deviant child, how do you bring out the best from somsomething bad.how do you model a child into a good role model and an inspiration for the other kids? It is not when you make a good child behave and perform well that makes you a good parent/guardian but your ability to model a deviant into something good.it is that bad child that has become that becomes the role model for others, the community and the society at large. Does the school have a guidiance/counselling department? Why didnt they send her for counselling? Have they been counselling the children before now on good conduct, etiquette? The school have failed in their duty to model a deviant child into a good role model for others to emulate.there is no justification whatsoever for meting out that punishment to the girl

bright007:
Though it is wrong for the school to have disciplined her to the extent where she had to be hospitalized, but it is obvious the girl is rude. For slapping the prefect, she is daring the school authority

For many of you critizing the school, I want to let you know that learning comes with discipline. Many students nowadays are over pampered by their parents and the first point of discipline becomes the school. It is this same parents that would complain if the girl start to fail in her academics. A girl that won't respect her teachers won't learn from them.

in as much as I agree with you on the importance of discipline in the training of a child, there should always be a line drawn at all times to determine the extent of discipline. Granted the child was rude to the prefect, does the prefect have a right to punish, slap or flog another student? Let's see the school rules/rules regulation including that of the ministry of education to see where the prefect draws his/her power from.on the flogging received by the student from the teachers, they should have had it at the back of their minds that punishment is meant to be a corrective measure not a punitive measure. They should not have taken it so personal that a child has to be hospitalized in the process. They all have children, I am not sure anyone of them would beat their child like that.in administering punishment, the child should know what he/she has done wrong and why he/she would be punished.the essence is to prevent future occurence and to build a better person in the child tomorrow. If the child was rude to thr teachers, invitation of thr parents, suspension or even expulsion at the extreme are measures the school could have employed.now they first assualted the child sexually by asking her to remove her thights then they started flogging her to the extent she is hospitalized, even if she was rude to them is not administering discipline, it is crude, barbaric and wicked and defeats the whole purpose of producing a better child

rottennaija:
It will always be wailers, nothing more.

Happening in Rivers state, in wike's backyard, what has he done? People being killed and beheaded before and during the elections, wike couldn't condemn it but when soldiers where deployed to help reduced what could have been a very bloody day, they rush to the court to stop soldiers from being deployed and even condemned it.

The best answer to fools is silence and it has to be that way.

how people like you think surprises me.This killings in rivers and other place, silence should be the response of the president to cries by thousands of nigeeians? This is what you are saying a president who was elected to rule over this people should do?are u blind to wike's cries in rivers state? Is it wike that is orchestrating the killings or APC that is bent on rigging? Do you rig in a place you are not popular? What about the agautu killings in benue state by fulani herdsmen? Did the presidency condemn it? What about killings in enugu, delta, parts of south west by fulani herdsmen? He should still be quiet about these? I will leave you to judge yourself, whether you are worse than the president or people like you who are encoraging him to be quiet and ignore the cries of thousands of citizens

The caption to the story is misleading.They were arrested because they robbed not because they are members of the norse men fraternity.in any case, Norse men club aka Vikings does not encourage their members to rob, if they went to rob they should face the full weight of the law

MosakuAW:
Just like the stupidity in your post too. So you mean a man that sells coffin, can also make an entrance to his wedding in a coffin.

Mr slowpoke.

no need for abuses or small talk.if you google weird wedding venues, you will discover people have wedded in strange and obscure places including cemetries.others have even wedded naked.The truth is that the wedding is their day, they can wed anywhere, transported anyhow they want to the venue, its their choice. It doesn't take anything from the marriage, it only gives it a unique flavour.People don't have to wed according to certain traditional values or according to society's expectation of how a wedding should be.in the future in nigeria, we may see a priest wedding a couple with 2 or 3 witness, deviod of asoebi family members and retinue of guests.

MosakuAW:
There are some things you do on your wedding day and people will shout Whaoooo!!!.

Not this kind of entrance. This is not unique, this is just stupidity at its peak.

Anyway, it's their wedding i wish them best of luck and i hope tractor will not scatter their marriage in the future.

why is it not unique? Is it everyday you see someone making a grant entry into their wedding in a tractor?

Is emefiele the minister of finance? Is he the coordinating minister of the economy? Why are they not asking madam funke the clerk from London to resign?

divinehand2003:
Lol.
My advise to you, Sir Wike, is to be mindful of your utterances lest the immunity that covers you be blown away in a minute. Remember there is no more Patience Jonathan to cover you when the chips are down.

so he has no right to express his opinion again.there are two things we are going to miss about the last goverment, freedom of speech and conduct of free and fair elections. Anything somebody says something this administration is not doing right, e warriors like you start threatening, insulting and sometimes accusing people. Nigeria cannot grow like this.actions of people like you portends a great danger to the growth of our democracy.

emperorchedda:
Wike should end this killing ASAP. He has bitten more than he can chew.

You mustn't win all of Rivers for Christ's sake

I don't know why u people are refusing to open your minds.there is no place for APC in rivers, rivers people cannot vote APC.Amechi is a judas that has committed political suicide. SS, SE, parts of SW, middle belt is PDP, come 2019 , PDP is taking over.APC has been exposed for what it is, a scam

PassingShot:
Do you have any evidence that soldiers were assigned to Amaechi apart from his regular security as a minister?

No sane man in his right senses asks who is responsible for the violence in Rivers judging by those who were killed.

thank God u said no sane man would ask who is responsible for the violence in rivers. This is because it is only someone who knows that he has no base in a place and is determined to put his presence by all means that would attempt rigging and perpetrate all sorts of violence to achieve his aim.let me go further by educating you on politics a little, you don't rig in a place that you don't have a base, you rig in places that are your stronghold.this is why someone wants to use the instrument of state to achieve the impossible. Rivers is PDP and PDP is Rivers.

PassingShot:
Wike, Fayose and most of their supporters have proved to be barbarians. They kill and maim in the name of election, yet they blame the president who has proved over and over again to be neutral in the elections conducted so far.

I blame PMB for going too soft on the two animals called Wike and Fayose. This is where I like OBJ.

Though I understand that Buhari doesn't want to be accused wrongly of meddling in affairs of states especially the two states being ruled by commedians, but the president needs to wield the big stick on these two Buffoons very early before they become monsters that cannot be tamed.

Bunch of thugs.

who was perpetrating violence in rivers during the election? Who assigned soldiers to amechi?How do you want the president to wield this 'big stick 'on these governors you mentioned?

Why am I not surprised? Typical of obasanjo, has a larger than life image of himself with a blotted ego.He thinks he is the father of Nigeria and nigeria owes him.As far the stupid reason he is giving for not wanting to give account, he is trying to be clever by half, this is the same reason fashola gave when questioned by the senatre on management of funds during his ministerial confirmation. These type of people look down on people they claim to represent. They are danger to our democracy

kingofchess:
SOME women are EVIL.....happy buff day...can't wait 4 d song

what about some men?

And some people would say fashola constructed IPP which is providing electricity in Lagos state

NobleAngell:
You haven't made any point Mr. I-know-it-all. Since u disregard wots on papers n media, u hv no business here or are u lost? U c I never take ppl like u seriously cos u will say alot of senseless things to prove your point(which is by d way, pointless). So now dat I know u are just a waste of my time, u can have d thread to yourself. Its all yours now, quote me and I wont even bother reading it.

I just confirmed one thing, you are not as smart as u think

NobleAngell:
Do me a favor and read this post of yours again but this time, read it as though it wasn't u that wrote it and u ll realise that u just displayed a high level of ignorance and emptiness. Anyone who is a right thinker knows I didn't say anything against Wike so pls if u still have a point, state it. If not, forever hold your peace.

simple question"did you see him putting his family on a plane leaving Nigeria? Your problem is the self assessement u have made on your person.the problem with self assessement is that it doesn't give you room to improve and you won't learn because u are busy trying to impress that you are smart.the main lesson you should learn today is this, newspaper source should not be quoted as references, they may not be reliable.

NobleAngell:
Well, u obviously don't read the dailies cos if u do, u would have read that news yesterday. I was gonna send u a few links where u can read that news and even snap d page on the newspaper I saw it but its of no use. Google is your friend. And as for the security around his father, it could be from his state or fg or even his villagers that's none of my business. So what again did u say your point is? Cos u didn't state it, u only repeated your question.

the security around his father is non of your business yet u commented? If you are experienced you should know not everything you see in the papers is true.take for instance your project work, before graduation, your supervisor would always tell you not to use the newspaper as a reference point, this is because newspaper source are not verifiable.for your comments on wike, u can always ignore a thread if you don't have any meaningful comment to make instead of helping spread falsehood and misinformation.

iamrealdeji:
With due respect,you're still not making sense. You should rather say Tinubu's case should be reopened and he should face the law once more. There is a thief that steals 4,500 and imprisoned immediately,why is he not allowed the right to romance the law the same way thief Saraki is doing now? They don't have equal rights? If those common thieves can't be acquitted then,same should apply to our corrupt politicians too

a thief and saraki cannot be charged with the same offence because they are different offences with different ingredients to prove them, so no basis to keep comparing both scenarios. However if you are msking both references for the sake of equality for all persons in the eyes of the law, then it is order.also I see you have come to my position now, which is that we should all be treated equally in the eyes of the law.And based on this , saraki should enjoy the same acquital tinubu got or if there is going to be a trial, tinubu should also be tried.anything short of this is persecution.

NobleAngell:
What exactly is your point? Lemme understand u.

so you cannot figure out my point from your initial comment? Let me help u then.wike took his family abroad.when did he do that? Which flight did they take? Which country did they go? 2.tight security around wikes father.who controls security in nigeria, is it the state or F.G? Who deployed security men to rivers today, is the state or FG?

EastGold:
So, criminal get right to complain?


It shows he has been a bad guy from the time immemorial, ordinarily he ought to be happy that his mat is handling his case.


Metuh metuh, how far na? Why you nor dey release press statements again?

yes accused people have right to complain. I noticed u have called him a criminal already, I believe u have judged him already. In the face of the law, everyone is innocent until the court rules that u are guilty and this depends on the quantum of evidence which the prosecution has against the acussed.until then the accused person remains innocent

NobleAngell:
First he sends his family abroad and now his father is under tight security. This is serious o.

did u see him sending his family abroad? The tight security u are referring to, were they not posted by the FGN?

iamrealdeji:
then everybody should be acquitted no matter what they do in this country if you want to defend Saraki. Armed robbers and thieves shouldn't be jailed then,afterall,they're also Nigerians

u are missing the point here.what I am saying is this, what is good for tinubu is equally good for saraki. Everybody should be equal in the eyes of the law.nobody should be seen as sacred or special, if tinubu's case was dismissed because the ccb investigating did not invite him to explain the discrepeancies in his form that same judgement should apply to saraki

HungerBAD:
This Saraki is a Comedian.

He should go into the home video business after he gets kicked out of the Senate, and completes his jail time. There are many differences between you and Tinubu, but most importantly Tinubu is one of the reason's why we have democracy in Nigeria.

When Tinubu and the likes of Abraham Adesanya, were in the trenches fighting for Nigeria via the NADECO, where was this Mr Ibu?so the PDP lead Government cooked up charges, and tried to put Tinubu away. But, they also knew that touching a freedom fighter like Tinubu, would signify the West going their way.

So the honest man was left alone.

Saraki in your case, you have never worked in your life, and from your fathers living room you went into power where looting became your surname.Please Saraki, never in your life compare yourself to Tinubu.

You committed a crime, Tinubu was not there, so face your trial alone without calling names.

your sense of judgement get k leg.so tinubu is a honest man? Now saraki has been accused of falsifying his assets declaration form, is it not fair that he should be asked to make clarification on the claims he made before charging him with any offence? Tinubu's case was dismissed because he was not given an oppurtunity to defend the claims in his form and u think saraki should not benefit from that judgement? Is saraki not a nigerian?how is tinubu special than saraki? Why should everyone not be equal in the eyes of the law?
