Oga.
Oga Nigerians have been selling and buying NIN which is used for registering sim cards, yahoo boys use them also.

If going by your whole sim tracking. It means bandits have sim cards registered with NIN of innocent Nigerians and the system will be arresting innocent Nigerians.

What most of you with simple minds don't understand is the complexity of terrorism.
This same US was with the UK and others in Afghanistan for 20years with the best military technology and military intelligence and they couldn't handle the Taliban which is just one terrorist group. Only someone with a small mind will think the US will take out Boko Haram, ISWAP, Bandits, etc in 20years you are joking.

How did Nigeria got to this point in the first place if the Government hadn’t been complicit or fueling terrorism?

Ttipsy:
Nigeria has millions of illiterates as citizens...

Lord lugard committed a huge offence

As a foreign person residing in Nigeria for over one year now, this has been my biggest cultural shock and I’m yet to recover from it till date.
The number of illiterates people (both adults and children) I’ve been seeing in Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta and especially Illorin has been mind blowing.

It’s honestly way too much than I expected and it’s all Moslems that I’ve encountered this problem with so far.
It’s only emphasizing one thing; religious ideology significantly influences literacy and and enlightenment levels.
For me this is clearly injustice on these people.

I think there has to be a call for a state of an emergency for adult literacy programs to help some of these victims. This will help chance the way some of them reason with things; ranging from politics to everyday life.
And equally so, religious houses/bodies should be mandated to engaging on activities or preaching messages that encourages parents to send their kids to school so as to save the next generation of kids from this crisis.

Mrexcell:
These islamic monsters will be difficult to completely root out from the north they have infiltrated the local population the only permanent solution to this crises still remains separating from them and giving them what they really want which is an Islamic country of their own cause it's obvious most of the muslims in the north are fully aligned with their Islamic ideology.

Honestly.
Looking at the number of supposedly educated folks who’ve been coming out ferociously campaigning against the proposed US interventions. The other one even strongly threatened to ensure that none of the US soldiers returned back alive.
Imagine, someone wants to come and help you resolve a problem you’ve been crying for solution all these while and now that the person is coming, you’re now all over the place campaigning for him no to come. Is it’s not foolishness?
It only points to one thing; that you’re the very one creating the problem and then ending up crying wolf.
It’s sad that the federal government is not calling this people in for questioning.

Some of these folks shouldn’t even be allowed to sit in those TV programs judging by the fact that some of their fellowers or admirers reasoning with sheep mentality.

But this is the problem you get in Africa when the politicians only care about winning elections and staying in power at all cost. There is palpable lack of law of law and order.

Chegesnd:
At least there is progress - if the extremist group can warn their members to avoid large gatherings, it means everyone is afraid.
It means that both the citizens and the terrorists afraid afraid.

They just proved the Americans right!

Now it’s certain that there is obvious evidence of religious terrorism

ISWAP just implicated the Government and others pushing against the US intervention.

They’re now going to make it very hard for them to continue defending the proposed US actions

And this guy is supposed to be a professor.

He’s in no way better than those Almajiri on the streets and terrorists in the forest.

I honestly pity his students

shadrach77:
I'm surprised it's only 121 million cause over 70% of Nigerians speak pidgin and with our population of 200 million that is already 140 million from Nigeria alone

So this is another evidence to tell you that the 230 million Nigerians population thing is highly likely not true.

Lukgaf:
When Will We Truly Learn Tolerance?

Yesterday, a disturbing video went viral showing a female student in Ilorin (a Federal Government school, for that matter) being barred from entering her school simply because she wore a hijab.

Honestly, one cannot help but ask: When will we learn to tolerate one another in this country?

Has the Nigerian Constitution suddenly changed to deny people the freedom to profess and practice their faith openly? What happened to the Supreme Court judgment that explicitly affirmed the right of Muslim girls to wear hijab in schools if they so wish?

Even more ironic this happened in Ilorin, a city with a rich Islamic heritage and majority Muslim population. If such acts of intolerance can happen there, what should we expect elsewhere?

But then again, what exactly is the problem?
If my daughter wears a hijab, or my wife chooses to wear a niqab, have I forced it upon anyone’s daughter? Why then should it become a national issue?

The truth is, until we begin to genuinely respect each other’s faith and freedom, peace and unity will remain elusive in this country. Nigeria’s Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and that freedom must mean the right to live our beliefs, not just declare them.

Even in some Western countries, with a much smaller Muslim population, women are allowed to wear hijab or niqab freely in schools and public spaces. So, what exactly is our excuse here in Nigeria, a country that proudly claims to uphold religious liberty?

Let’s be honest, this isn’t about dress code. It’s about tolerance, respect, and justice.
And until we uphold these, we’ll keep failing as a truly united people.

PS: Don't forget to recite Suratul Khaf

Get the Bleep outta here. Stop being fucking backwards for Christ sake.
Most countries are now calling for the ban of it. It’s now a security threat. That’s what terrorists will use to commit their act. Thieves used it to shoplift, adulterers used it to disguise themselves.
Even Saudi Arabia is giving it a second thought now.

By the way, the Saudi government has significantly reduced the powers of sharia law and its law enforcers. They’ve realized the whole sharia things has outlived its relevance. This is the very Saudi Arabia that is that holds the core to Islam.

I wonder why some people just don’t like to evolve

saintkel:
All thanks to d north ...I think d government should replace dis tradition if marrying more women than just 1 in d north abeg ...those guys r giving us headache

It is not just a problem of the North. Even here in ilorin, it is so obvious

Richtaiwo:
So what is Obj suggesting?

That we should reduce our population or what?

Yes Sir!
There has to be an intentional population control.
The amout of poor and illiterate Nigerians is still staggering which the government and resources cannot fully cater for. The rapid population growth is putting enormous pressure on the available resources. That’s why you’ll notice that everyone is doing anything and everything possible to make it out of poverty. There is no calmness in the land at all. All these case of kidnapping,yahoo boys, banditry,etc.. are as a result of desperation to make it out of poverty at all cost coupled with poor upbringing from poor homes where the parents usually gave birth to multiple children they couldn’t afford for. This is just the reality.
Take the case of a nuclear family and an extend family and compare the chances to successful and quality of life for especially the kids.

Whilst corruption and bad governance cannot be seen as the main culprits,uncontrolled population growth is also part of the equation.

I hope south Africans media outlet will post our miss Nigeria shortlist too or any news coming from dis side cos I dont seem to understand Nairaland again

Isn’t Nairaland an African forum?

Islams growth is actually slowing down even in the Middle East.
Moslems are either converting to Christianity or Atheist all thanks to modernity and exposure

Pogba12:
My Northern brethren, is high time we work on embark on aggressive internal revenue generation.

Not until all these sharia law behaviors are eliminated.

Eliminate Sharia law and watch religious extremism and terrorism plummet, talents blossom, state revenues skyrockets , businesses flourish, new investments in currently dormant industries such as hospitality,tourism,lifestyle and culture come to life like a colossus.
The Arabs from Saudi and Qatar have understood this already and have taken advantage of it. The difference is clear. You the enlightened guys from the North needs to speak up boldly for the region.

OVB123:
The truth be told economically Ogbomosho is better than Ilorin and Osogbo put together.
I forseen the town becoming a capital city in the nearest future.

No bro.
Illorin is already miles ahead. A lot is happening in Ilorin right now. It’s skyline is rapidly changing and roads are getting retouched.
Even the accent parts of the town are giving way to modernity. I just don’t like the fact that there are still lots of people who didn’t go to school in that city who are mostly Moslems.
Ogbomosho dey try. But it’s still far from Illorin’s league.
It’s just a bit advanced than Offa in Kwara state

Fiscus105:
Easier to conderm wen u think myopically. In fact, eternal wailer must find reasonable to wail perpetually.


Before they rescheduled it, they said it publicly that the time is tight already, WAEC and latter NECO already taken the available space...... which is two months combined, if they don't squized into that tiny space to accommodate, you will still come online to rant and condemn.

So it should now be the students who should bear the burden just so that JAMB could fit into the 2 months timetable period right ?
Can you listen to yourself saying this rubbish ? Does this excuse even make any sense to you at all?
On a normal day, the entire JAMB big goons should have honorable resigned their positions in the first place.

You’re not even reasoning about some students who would’ve even travel overseas for holidays after writing their JAMB exams. How do expect them to just fly back to Nigeria to write the exam within few day’s notice.
JAMB was supposed to have been creative by deploying technology such that every students could have written the exam irrespective of where they were located.
They can ever look for academic centers in and outside of Nigeria to have helped them conduct the exam which could’ve ensured more students participating.

Ghanaians pay 22% vat on most things we buy of course Ghana will be more expensive than Nigeria where you pay just 6%.

🤣😂

This is like going to the US of Singapore with your 2 million naira and crying at how fast it finishes.

It shows that your money has no real value

The point is that Nigeria produces most things it consumes unlike Ghana. Nigeria is way industrialized.
So even with all these inflation, currency devaluation,etc.. goods and services are still cheaper and affordable than in Ghana. I even believed that the Nigerian economy can never crash no matter how bad economic situations are because it’s innately made resilient due to these two factors unlike many other African countries.
Vegetable oil is sold in different sachet sizes and is all over the place. It’s just simple logic that the average person will decide to go for the sachets and smaller containers ones rather than the 25L. The options are just too readily available.

air peace is by far d best in Nigeria abeg.....

Once you see Airpeace to travel in, your heart will be at peace.

I even trust Airpeace than Delta or British Airways

As long as the country continues to have SHARIAH LAW legalized, all these war against terrorism would only continue to be a facade and terrorists enclaves will still continue to fester.
All these new groups springing up everywhere and new ones expanding are easily banking on SHARIA LAW to do so.
If the government wants to be very serious about ending terrorism, they first of all need to eliminate that law from the country. Until that time…..

I don’t think the motivation to Japa by Medical Doctors is about infrastructure.
I’ve observed that it stems mainly by work demotivation being fueled by:

1) Poor salaries not commensurate to the amount of work/commitments they are investing into their various roles.
How do you expect a healthcare worker who has dedicated all his years youthful years to studying medicine and allied health sciences and still giving his unflinching dedicated services to serving his nation to be happy that he cannot even boost of owing a simple car or a house whilst seeing politicians and others who didn’t put in 1/9th of his efforts living in opulence with taxpayers monies he’s also contributing to?
With all these news of missing monies and embezzlement flying all over the place, do you still expect him to be happy about his own situation?

2) Overworking and burnout at work ( most of the seniors in the various hospital departments still believe in old school and rigid methods of executing administration).
Clinical staff will be giving clerical and technician duties when it’s clearly not their JDs all in the name of “They need to demonstrate they are hardworking”.
These administrators still glorify modern day slavery for hardwork.

The modern day healthcare staff is wants to multitask and be skilled in other areas. They want to be entrepreneurs too because they’ve learnt enough lessons from others that salaries alone is not enough. How do you encourage them to get these extra skills ,grow and integrate these skills into their various health work spaces is very important rather than outrightly creating rigid work schedules that prevents them from doing so.
Definitely, their will be disaffection when the latter happens.

Politicians needs to start showing that they are responsible enough to manage state resources well. This will reenergize hopes. Salaries and other emoluments must match efforts of healthcare workers. There has to be salary harmonization processes to get this done. If possible, car and housing loans should be introduced or even at least, establish healthcare estates or flats for them for which annual rents can be deducted from their salaries in small amounts. Befitting buses can be provided to convey them to-and-fro their work places.
Introduce incentives for those who will want to go into postgraduate training like residency and others.
Motivation for vertical growth must be provided.

Hospital administrators should also do their parts by modernizing work schedules and shouldn’t see their juniors as their errand boys and girls and they should also get the appropriate staffing rather than pushing clinical staff from taking extra roles which they weren’t trained and employed for all in the name of managing staff numbers.

This industrial park should be sited in the south south

All these security issues, rampant kidnappings and occasional political instability in the Niger Delta and other SE states are not helping these regions in terms of attracting significant foreign investments. Lagos has learned to adequately managed these events.
Most of the youths involved in these crimes and politicians/persons perpetrating these things should understand that they’re only creating a cycle of generational problems for those regions.

PresidObi:
Joblessness is also to blame for the spread of evil. Let government create work by making the economy more profitable for work and businesses to thrive.

Those guys who are not doing Yahoo could be into worse crimes like robbery, ritual killing and kidnapping.

I think it’s greed primarily from both the parents and their yahoo yahoo children.
First of all, why would a parent give birth to so many children that can’t cater for. Go and check the stats. Most of those who are into these crimes comes from backgrounds were their parents gave birth to lots of children and couldn’t properly care for them, which the way they carry themselves, the type of friends they keep, etc..
Trust me, someone with one or two kids should be able to train them well on average , provide good parenting and give them an assured future no matter how bad the economy is. You will see a grown up 65-70 years old man doing bus conductor and he’s married with 2-3 wives with several kids with the last one being around 3-5 years. Now you tell me, how will he properly raised those kids and provide them an assured future?
Why won’t some of the older kids end up going into crimes as a way of escaping the harsh realities of poverty. Don’t you think the parents themselves wouldn’t actually care to know how the money was made since they themselves are just too desperate to enjoy the good life.
A whole societal regeneration is needed to change this Yahoo Yahoo menace. Birth control, good parenting, civic engagements, amongst many are critical components to achieving this. Gov’t has to be bery bold about introducing some population control measures for a limited period say 20-30 years. This has far reaching positive implications in curtailing some of the societal challenges beyond yahoo yahoo.
