Even if you sell it, it’s still a violation because you might be arrested to explain where you got it from and possibly prosecuted for being an agent to military impersonators. Let’s learn to obey the laws of the land for our common good. Everything is not about social media. That woman should be further educated including the market union.

In this shocking viral video from Katangowa Market in Lagos, Nigeria, a woman selling second-hand (OK) clothes breaks down as she recounts how a Nigerian soldier spotted military-style camouflage items in her stock and tore them to pieces on the spot.
The footage captures the chaotic market scene: piles of used jeans, shirts, and clothing scattered on the ground, with several camouflage-patterned pieces being ripped apart by hands (implied to be the soldier's). The distressed vendor, wearing a purple top, gestures emotionally while bystanders watch. No audio of the confrontation is clear, but the destruction is evident amid the bustling okrika (second-hand) market.

This incident highlights ongoing tensions over Nigeria's strict laws banning civilians from possessing or selling military camouflage (under Section 110 of the Criminal Code), aimed at preventing impersonation by criminals. While some view the soldier's actions as necessary for security, others criticize the destruction of private property without due process.

What do you think – was the soldier right, or did he go too far?

The constitution of the land forbids civilians from wearing military camouflage otherwise you can be arrested and accused of a deeper crime that you will find it difficult to get out of. It’s pure impersonation to wear military gears against the backdrop of the present security realities. The soldier did well to take such preventative measures without further extension of the action.

This is what most of us do to destroy the country. Why insist on receiving bonuses in USD and you claim to be serving your country? After missing out on the world cup qualification ticket, why should the country pay you now in USD? Allowances are paid in USD while bonuses should be paid in Naira. Infact, such bonuses should be paid in local currency and be advised to be invested in Nigeria. You are on a patriotic duty, you should maintain this across board. Even some of our foreign missions are being paid in Naira.

The UN should just be disbanded. They are utterly useless.. The US just showed everyone they are above the law.
Trump Just needed a Bin laden moment to brag about too.

What did the UN did when Russia invaded Ukraine?
The UN has been bought over by very bad and oppressive powers like China, Russia, Iran, N/Korea etc.
America already lost patience with the UN and will not obey any UN charter anymore. The UN is currently corrupt and in a complete mess. The current UN Sec Gen is the worst in the history of the global body.

Brendaniel:
That is why you should elect good leaders that will make your country great and powerful not leaders like Tinubu that is busy destroying Nigeria, you think if china were having leaders like Tinubu they will be anywhere near being a world power today?

You think if China were having citizens like you and the rest of us here they will be anywhere near being a world power today? China had citizens that are busy in Engineering, Sciences, Economics and working hard to earn forex into their country during the period of hard economic challenges. They never utter statements to run down their own country and expect it to be great at same time. China went through very long years of economic challenges, inflation ,poverty, and eventual economic growth path. They never clamored for subsidy, they performed their own duty as citizens and not busy patronizing foreign goods to the detriment of their own local industries. Everyone/every household in China were virtually manufacturing one item or the other to kickstart the growth we see them enjoy today. They were not busy doing the opposite. The citizens strongly believed in their own country to prosper and the country did eventually prosper them. Leaders come and leaders go. Every leader is for a time and purpose. Don’t let us start all these wrong mentality this 2026. The country has been badly structured since we abandoned regionalism to embrace federalism/ presidential system of government. This must be corrected or else it will remain difficult for any microeconomic impact to be felt no matter who is the president.
Lots of policies are very wrongly applied and it is our hope they can be corrected not completely thrown away as this could lead to a complete waste of fund.

The best display i have seen so far of the Nigerian team. They played, they marked; man-to-man and space-for-space. To cap it all, they scored to earn a good victory.
Above all, the referee was very unfair to us.

This type of incident is one of the reasons citizens don’t provide any cooperation or support for the Nigerian soldiers in their battle against insurgents.

Nobody likes VIO including the judges.
These VIO officials are very heartless and extremely corrupt set of people. The judgement against them is perfectly in order.

This is good. Mba is really doing well and he doesn't make noise.

Mbah is an excellent governor

omoredia:
Enugu wow! Thats highly commendable. The ibos are the only ones to really change nigeria for better truth be told.

It’s impressive that a state like Enugu is at the top this time. The governor is doing great. This is what all states should emulate, compete.
The streets is filled up with tribalism and hatred while the governments seems to be working.

ratcock:
Is this a sign of Oti severing his relationship with Tinubu?

This is the time political solutions can be applied in Nnamdi Kanu’s case under the prerogative of mercy. It couldn’t have been done until a judgment has been pronounced by the judiciary. It’s now in the court of the executive and within the president’s power to release him now. So, governors like Alex Otti have activated that strategy. Trust PBAT, it will be take and give political dealings. Let’s watch how it all plays out.

Quest7777:
🤔
Still can't justify the rationale behind this very expensive Coastal Highway, when we can use a little fraction of the money to maintain the already existing roads linking Lagos to Calabar.

It seems you are not aware that this coastal road was part of the major project infrastructure mandatory to be provided after the civil war for the purpose of national reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction policy. While the similar RRR projects located in the north were constructed, that of the south , particularly this coastal highway was completely abandoned by most of the heads of state/presidents predominately from the north.
The north never and would never construct this coastal highway as they see that it will widen the development gap between the north and south, instead they opted to concentrate on the north and Abuja. It takes a determined southern president to actualize this project. If it is stopped, forget, you can kiss infrastructure development in the south goodbye because the north will never do it. This is the best opportunity for the south for this project. It will be enough as a major gift to the south by this presidency. My home is directly in the Niger Delta and this project will positively impact our people.

Christians in the north had better prepare to defend themselves to preserve their lives. No need waiting on the government or security agencies alone to protect them. You can’t just fold your hands while being killed this way.

God bless Niger Delta, God bless Nigeria.

JuanDeDios:
I'd take this sort of risk with beer, not PMS. By removing susbidies, Nigerians have suffered enough. To then add a 15% increase (that's what is, since it allows Dangote to increase prices by 15% without any fear of competition) is unconscionable.

Dangote is dropping price and will continue week in week out. You put high tariffs on imports to protect your national interests not to hurt the people. Let’s be smart to see the good in some actions of government.

thomas2024:
A government bent on taxing the citizens to death with no substantial achievement to show except for propaganda, and window-dressing packaged achievement, lol

It seems you don’t really understand that the tariff is in favor of the people, in favor of Nigeria and really pissed off Trump and co. It was a master stroke of a tariff that seeks to save us from the oil cabals etc. Most of them are already winding up their various refineries outside Nigeria with this 15% imposition. It has no negative effect on the people. Those guys with this press conference are fronts for those that has been milking us. Most refined product importers are already declaring losses as there are no subsidy, no incentives nor petroleum equalization fund. Corruption is approaching zero in the petroleum sector. All tank farms are virtually empty. No more pressure on our foreign reserves. The benefit is very huge.

Wake up from your slumber. Obi can't defeat Tinubu....
The North will not vote an Obi over Tinubu .
Stop making politics look hard, it's a very simple game to play. When Tinubu wanted to defeat GEJ, he sponsored and supported Buhari....
You guys (South East) should stop playing nzobuzobu politics, if not presidency will be far from you guys.... Stop listening to lightweight politicians from the North like Datti, that are pushing for Obi, these are guys that can't win their polling units. Have you heard any heavyweight politicians from the North talked about giving the tickets to Obi? They want Obi in the coalition so the victory will be landslide and difficult to rig... Obi and his people should negotiate for 2031 or 2035. That's how you wrestle power, it is not given..

The SE has failed so far to get to the presidency because the north detest them and would not allow anyone from that region come close to power. Tinubu is bent on changing that come 2031 should the north field a northern candidate in 2027. All agreements would be broken, pbat would ensure David Imahi or Soludo or Kalu takes the presidency after his tenure. The presidency of Nigeria needs someone with a Federal experience or an astute big shot politician which Obi does not have. Obi should have accepted the ministerial slot given to him two years ago by pbat as such would have boosted his credentials and make 2031 a South East only affair. Politics is a highly strategic game and you need others to support you to win. Don’t create enemies for your candidate by insulting your opponent in every way possible.

Shame on you

No country goes through reforms and live comfortably.
When a nation that has been badly damaged is being rebuilt, there must be pains. Most countries of the world don’t like our people, why then can’t we stay and build our own. Most young people of today don’t have any mini farm of their own particularly in southern part of the country where we have some relative peace. In my place outside oil, we are predominantly fish farmers. I have just bought two fishing trawlers to start fishery business and see how we can bring the price of fish down through mass supply to the market. We should not just sit and wait to be fed, we can always feed ourselves. Depending on just one income from office job alone to survive in any nation would be a risk anyone can enforce on him or herself. Let’s build the country to greatness by contributing our own personal effort no matter how little. PBAT government is a government reforms and recalibration. A government designed to lay the necessary foundation for nation building. The greatness of Nigeria lies in everyone’s hand. Depending mainly on USD will make your case get worse.

Jaylord12:
Thank you...your opinion and I respect it.......To me am yet to see any impact from APC when I do I will state it......

If I want to start small scale LPG storage tank for distribution I will need 300m-500m,why? Because of the the dollar rate.....you think it is good for the economy?...when businesses do well the economy will do great..

I just thank God fie his faithfulness but Tinubu no try @ all

You have this huge capital challenge because you did not look for alternatives available in Nigeria such that will enable you achieve your goal. Great nations don’t just become great by depending on another nations currency to measure their own growth. There are ways of achieving that project of yours locally using local content. Without local content input and utter bold creativity, no nation can become great. Kindly look inward. I have on my own part avoid anything that would compel me to depend on USD always. Infact, i make such money and try to inject it back in form of investment in Nigeria. We can’t continue to depend on these countries that don’t really like us. Let’s build our own country by using at least 80% local content first.

Jaylord12:
I can say of the sw because it been over a year I travelled to there but you see SS/North I can predict to an extent....

The challenge am having with this APC is that they aren't doing well and they will not want you to state it, as it is...If the president is doing well,ppl will state it.and the masses will rejoice .....

For years the masses have been taken for granted, the politicians appropriated everything to themselves leaving the masses to wallow in poverty. Nigeria was virtually gone and at the edge of collapse at the end of Buhari regime. Tinubu took over, steered it away from collapse, changed the status quo, reorganized every facets of governance and financial system. He gave the north the same dose they have been dishing out to the south for years. Now, lots of southern politicians are being elevated for future political contest. What this man seeks is a united south that will be able to also dictate how this country is governed. The strength of our national economy and survival lies in the south at the moment as the north is currently being riddle by conflicts. No meaningful economic activity is taking place in the north. The entire burden of the nation is on the south. We must remain supportive and united to avoid a step back into the abyss should continuity be denied. My hope and expectation is that a day and time will come when Obi will work with Tinubu instead of going around foraging for who to work with. We must at all times face our realities.

Jaylord12:
South? If things continue like this, 2027 will b a lesson 4 most politicians....Sw no doubt 90% he will win but SS/SE na lie

What most don’t realize here is that Tinubu is a president who is pro-south to a fault. He is doing his best to raise strong and new leaders from the south (and middle-belt)not just for today, not just for the 2027 upcoming elections, but far into the future. SS will support PBAT in 2027 because since he got in , we have never had it this good in SS. He is also building those infrastructures in the south that have been long neglected by various northern administrations. PBAT is hated by some disgruntled northern elites because they couldn’t dictate to him as they normally do to any southern president. He is not sharing national resources freely to the northern elites as they would have expected. He is not even keen on running. All he wants to do is to lay a proper foundation for whoever is going to come after him and ensure continuity. We should stop playing politics to the extent of destroying our growth as a nation. It’s high time we all support our nation on the path of continuous growth not divide ourselves based on parochial and ethnic sentiments.
I support anyone that is capable of pulling this country out of years of decay to a path of progress and national dignity. So far, PBAT is the only one i have seen that is capable and cannot be dictated to by anyone. The more time we have the more accomplishments we can achieve. When you support your nation and pray for its leadership, then you are entitled also before heaven to prosper in same nation.

Never knew spraying Dollars was an offence.
Maybe it's an offence in US, & EFCC is helping to enforce that in Nigeria.

Spraying of Dollar in Nigeria can never be an offense and it should be challenged in court not debated.

If GTB has no hands in it,why haven’t they released a statement to that effect?

Why are we so ignorant in this country? GTB has released CCTV footage confirming they have no hand in the arrest. This is a petition based arrest by EFCC. If the state is involved, it won’t be EFCC but DSS. If GTB is involved, it won’t be EFCC but police.
Let’s know what the petitioner is alleging before jumping to conclusions. If there is a petition, GTB cannot be forced to intervene due to public pressure.

SmartPolician:
Those guys aren't superhumans. The problem of black people is that we are too greedy, petty and selfish to focus on things that matter - innovation, development and research.

Until we have leaders who genuinely value knowledge and are ready to invest in knowledge economy, black people, especially Nigerians, will always be underdogs in the scheme of things.

Religion, envy and ethnicity is destroying the black race. It has made our minds to be very retrogressive. The black man is so very divided along the above lines that it has become irreparable.

PDP is in complete tatters.

Or somehow It will Pay off For him in the Future.🤔

Obi is an un-announced member of APC already. APC has come to stay as a breeding ground for new generation of leaders in Nigeria. Tinubu as usual is breeding and strengthening new sets of leaders from mainly the south and the north. The defections are pure political bargaining and realignment for both 2027 and 2031. With the current plan, Atiku is a complete gonner.

Eteka1:
The power sector holds the keys to Nigerian industrial and economic development. Unfortunately, successive governments have not been able to make it work.

Tinubu Should save Nigeria by putting Wike in Charge of the power sector. It Appears that Wike knows how to get the job done, there's no argument about that.

Wike is the best we have seen in the country for now.
