Reason most noise people make against govt on security issues on nairaland are coming from uninformed/biased views mist of the time...

mohims:
Theses ones too will also be shouting Obi or nothing but just imagine what they are doing. Tomorrow the same people will criticize the government for insecurity when they are behind it. What a shame.

Our common sense, humanity & culture should not be abused by religious doctrines. The so called religious injunction she is using as alibi is not realistic in modern day. It is inhuman to practise such now. While it is natural for men to provide, it is not out of place for his partner to assist, especially when both are have source of livelihood and the man's means cannot totally meat their needs.

cyberbro:
I am a man and most of the married women I know, including my own relatives, are helping their husbands financially, some are even the bread winners. All these talks of "my money is my money" is unrealistic for someone who really wants to get married.

Gone are the days when men used to earn significantly higher than women. Nowadays, most women are working and earning, some even earn far more than their husbands, so how do you run a family while earning money and expecting your husband to foot all bills. It doesn't work that way.

They are so obnoxious and unreason

Chucks13:
Haba stop thinking these bad. Was their no killing during Buhari in other part of Nigeria especially Benue

Pls stop thinking these poor. This is not Muslim Muslim thing obasanjo raised the fulanizaton alarm long before now and that is the mission by using Islam and banditry tactics..

...unreasonable and insensitive comment

Sonofgod1990:
Like say the man dey rub bleaching cream self
They kidnapped your wife you no get money to pay for the ransom you go dey buy bleaching cream after Una go dey blame our working president

Vote for APC for just 1k and suffer for the rest of your life

Lols...It's their usual pre-election hallucination

Lithiumite:
You guys rejected buhari twice in your so called online polls but we can all readily remember the final outcome,you did same to tinubu and the last i checked your obi is still serving rice and carrying bags at airports........you can go eat your online poll we dey offline dey wait una.

..they even talk as if the govt must be aware of criminality in the minds of perpetrators before it is actualized...our security personnel can best react in most cases.

favor914:
True Talk, It is always very easy for uninformed Nigerians to blame the president for their own criminality.

Always looking for a scapegoat.

Of course it is their right to vote their preferred candidate. It is unreasonable and petty for some faceless characters online to claim otherwise as if candidate of their choice can do any batter or stop insecurity.

Alaigbo:
And will vote him again 2027.

Likely remote reasons should be probed first if it is habitual....the parents/ what the boy is facing at home, etc..

HisaacPlus:
Imagine today's rain with this Learner's attitude. What do I do?

This can't be linked to insecurity or even blame politics? No security setup anywhere in the world has the capacity to stop most crimes before they are cimmitted...The good book says "The heart is deceitful above all thiings and desperately wicked: who can know it"...

OnionBandit:
if no be insecurity, how this haggard looking illiterate go fit climb this beautiful girl ?? Very evil man

No lady absolutely deserve such. The perpetrators are simply evil and should face consequences of their dark art.

Kukutente23:
What did she do to you to deserve such treatment
That's what we really want to know

He may even be pastor...who cares? He must face the consequence of his action.

AntiChristian:
What type of religious terrorists are these ones?

They may be tithe payers and church contributors as you see them!

They hate with no reasonable reason. It's even ungodly to hate another man.

Omenlon:
why are you thinking upside down, sympathetic to the president or the coupe plotters? Some of you are so pathetic, you hate him, does it mean others hate him.

Hmmmnnn so you say...how come an agrncy under the so called baron is arresting the drug peddlers

Macphenson:
Ever since a certain Chicago drug baron became President, The country became a destination for every drug baron

Exactly...and while there are some basic universally acceptable behaviour/expectations from intending couples others requirements are subject to whatever each wants or are willing to accept in the other.

HenryStarlife:
You can’t even live peacefully with yourself, you want to live peacefully with another soul?

The slap is the issue...not the right or wrong of sending to amyone.

Lovelink1991:
Yes she should have shown some understanding but what about if the guy is lying about sendng it to his mother whereas it is some other women?

It is this divisive headline and ethnic superiority complex that is the bane of our unity. Any Nigeria can vote any candidate as their right...not until we compel them to vote our preferred candidate with smear campaign/tribal slur like this.

FuckFuckPastor:
I am Yoruba and Peter Obi is who I’m rooting for. Anyone that doesn’t like it should hit their head on the ground.

Anyone can vote whoever he wants in 2027 polls. One thing is certain; No Nigerian President can satisfy or meet the people's expectations. It is self deceit to believe otherwise.

Princedapace:
I was battling with network issues recently, and it reminded me how difficult it has become to survive here. There is no stable electricity. Most of us survive on generators.

South Africa achieved significant progress in electricity within two years, yet after four years, nothing meaningful has changed here. It is still the same story and the same daily struggle.

Now, remove emotions for a moment and look at the reality:

A kilogram of gas is about ₦1,400. That is extremely high for a country with very low salaries.
A crate of eggs is between ₦5,500 and ₦6,000.
A bag of cement is around ₦12,000. This is one of the reasons house rent has skyrocketed, because many citizens can no longer afford to build homes.
Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in most state capitals now starts from about ₦2.5 million and above. That is insane for a country where the majority of citizens are struggling financially.
Fuel is around ₦1,400 per litre.

Fuel powers our generators. If you run two businesses, you may need two generators.

For someone like me who works online, I need electricity almost 24/7. A huge part of my income goes into fueling and servicing generators because, most nights, my generator runs till morning. I work with clients across different time zones, sometimes at 2AM.

What does all of this mean?

Our purchasing power has dropped drastically.

Yet, despite these realities, the tax burden keeps increasing.

I honestly want to ask: does the government truly understand what Nigerians are going through?

Even someone earning ₦25m–₦30m yearly in today’s Nigeria is not necessarily living comfortably. A large percentage of that income already goes into solving basic social problems and surviving.

You pay for:

Electricity
Security
Healthcare
Transportation
Water
Education

Everything.

So where exactly is the money left to pay huge taxes from?

How many Nigerians can genuinely save millions yearly after handling all their responsibilities as parents, children, and providers?

To survive, many people are already being forced to reduce their quality of life:

Cutting down electricity usage despite terrible heat
Moving children from good schools
Switching from bottled water to sachet water
Selling better cars for cheaper alternatives because of fuel costs
Cancelling vacations and basic comfort

The painful part is that many self-employed Nigerians hustle endlessly just to stay afloat, yet at the end of the year, they are still expected to pay heavy taxes.

One of my friends, despite earning what many would call “good money,” is already in debt because of school fees and living expenses. Yet, government expectations are based only on income figures, not the harsh realities behind those figures.

And remember, this is a country where many parents depend on their children financially just to survive.

Honestly, many leaders cannot relate to what ordinary Nigerians are facing because:

Their electricity is sorted
Their security is sorted
Their healthcare is sorted
Their feeding is sorted

So they may never truly feel the pain of the average citizen.

Dear Nigerian leaders, Nigerians are suffering.

We are exhausted.

What could be done differently?

Reduce excessive tax burdens. Maybe 3 percent for now. Please, this country is poor or increase the threshold to maybe 50m per year if you truly wants to target the rich for income tax.
Fix electricity.
Tackle corruption seriously.
Improve security so farmers can return to farms safely.
Support the tech economy so more young people can earn online.
Invest in skills and digital opportunities.
Cut down excessive government spending and luxury packages for politicians.

Nigeria is a poor country with multidimensional poverty. In many homes, one working person carries the burden of an entire extended family.

Tax should not be the first priority when citizens are already struggling to survive.

As I write this now, my area is in complete darkness again. Families will spend heavily on fuel tonight just to have light for a few hours.

So I ask again: after paying for survival, where exactly should the tax money come from?

We are tired.

The bills are too much.

please can someone push this to front page?

I want to understand why the sacrfice must be done by the suffering masses instead of the politicians. I am curios to know why. Why must I suffer what I didn't cause?

May God's peace and mercy find the families of the bereaved. Those who always equate incidence like this to failure of govt over insecurity are just like these evil fellow that killed his boss....as if govt is the the one controlling their mind and responsible for their actions

Openyamind111:
We should also blame Tinubu for what these evil men did.. I hail una oooo..

That is the level of their thinking. Govt is always to blame; they are never responsible for indiscretions...

dragunov:
Continue with that lame excuse as usual while you and your ilk continue to get locked up in foreign countries. Continue.

Lols....not with us but with them pls.

Yemmysworld91:
Not again!!!
The desperation for quick wealth ehn
Na wa ooo

It is well with us as a people

A typical example of misplaced priority...turning the pulpit to campaign ground. Is that the mandate of Christ?

yemmight:
And you think that kind person na man of God? I don't think so.

Los...all human race actually share same biological similarities. You probably meant something else or tribal

Thewrath:
Igbos are built different,and share no biological similarities with the yorubas!

Pls reveal what the thief stole with facts to nail him...

Tenses:
Voting for a certify thief and a drug lord is never a wise decision.

Weldone. This is a lot of input already expended to get to this stage with sparse rainfall. Though it's been raining steadily in parts of Oyo and Ogun states.

Farmerakinloye6:
51 days today....no rain.... Grade1 today is 45k

If they don't , like you claim, they either don't want democracy or don't know what it is? It's a free world to chose whomever anyone likes among the candidates.

PDPdestroyer:
Obidients won’t like this. This is a big blow to our Ibo presidency 2027

Security is every individual's responsibility first before any govt at the state or federal level can really secure the land.

Refinedbeing:
They will still need the cooperation of the state government for anything to work. The FG can’t know the state more than the governor. So somehow information will still leak with the involvement of the SG.

It's just a laughable headline... real bilateral relations are between incumbent personnels of countries.

RexTramadol1:
This man and fuulishness are Siamese twins


Discussing bilateral relationship as what?

As an election loser?

You sold your house to dash a political party without anything to subsist on. Were you forced to do so? What really did you do with the proceeds of the sale? Rants as this are meant for those equally as foolish anyway...

It appears they were unknowingly tricked into a political landmine by some 'master strategist'.

chopnaira:
Even the Supreme Court would send them back to the Federal high Court.

I wonder who told them it was a good idea to attempt in hijacking an existing party like ADC.

It's about time we simply cut off diplomatic ties with SA with this latest killings of Nigerians in their country. We should have nothing together...our people should leave their country for them. Enough is enough.

His looks like a mental illness as his roomate in the report had a heated argument with him shortly before bursting out to commit the crimes on innocent folks. Perhaps the roomate was lucky...

Eraddray:
He's am American citizen..born in the UK , because he has a Yoruba name now makes him a Nigerian....

Well I believe this man was sick , no one drives to different location killing people for no reason, his mental health has collapsed,and no one had an idea of what was going on before he went on killing spree , nobody saw the signs

That's why I fear america, ur next door neighbor fit be one former mad man, wey come get gun, them no dey cure madness reach 100% oo, na why them dey put them on medication be that...if u come dey play loud music and it trigger the shin shin inside his head..its a bang bang for u... And if he's an American citizen the headline will be different from this...it will be A MENTALLY UNSTABLE MAN SHOT HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IN THE EARLY HOURS OF FRIDAY
