The same set of people who accuse Buhari of not giving youths a chance are complaining because an old man decides to "maintain his lane"?

We need the Roman empire's capital punishment.

Those governors should be fed to lions for this rubbish.

freeze001:
Excuse me! There must be formal communication to the family of any officer who dies in action! A lieutenant colonel is not a mere recruit or korofo! He is a senior level officer and it is not out of place that a letter personally signed by the COAS,Chief of Defence Staff or the President. There must be some form of formal and personal notification and condolence form the Army! Stop denigrating officers in the name of upholding ur idea of sacred cows. It is normal and entrenched procedure!

There's a department in the Army tasked with reaching out to Families, or do you expect the President to make a call anytime someone from the Army, Navy, Airforce, Customs, Immigration, Police and other paramilitary outfit dies on duty?

All Wike needs to do is approach the courts, evidence would be gotten from the telecom Wike and whoever he was talking to and the case would be settled.

I understand the guys and the family's pain, but expecting the President or even the chief of army staff to call the family is unreasonable.

Federal government or the distribution companies?

The FG doesn't buy directly from the generating stations so where and how did this debt come about?

This here is why Nigeria doesn't work.
For the finance ministry to pay the players, the money has to come from somewhere and since the money was budgeted, it gives someone the opportunity to "help" his/her pocket.

James Ibori paid people's fees.
T. A Orji paid people's fees.
Okorocha has been paying people's fees for ages.
Babangida has paid fees for people.
Atiku has paid fees for people.
Tinubu has paid fees for people.
Adedibu was killing cows to feed people in his house everyday.
Ezeego dashed people money, so also did Otokoto.

If you judge people's greediness by the giving of money, then there's no greedy Nigerian politician because they all help people one way or the other so when people help their kids into CBN et al, will you blame them?

Since returning from the Women’s AFCON, the Falcons are yet to be paid their outstanding allowances by the cash-strapped Nigeria Football Federation, and have not been hosted nor rewarded by the federal government.

There's this stupid entitlement mentality we have developed in Nigeria that people now expect to be "rewarded" for doing their jobs.


Oga Yobo, Soldiers risking their lives to keep you safe haven't been hosted by the FG or rewarded, are the Falcons better than them?

Why should the Presidency promise to pay?

Is the NFF going to refund the money back to the Presidency?

Kebabs:
I don't think u'd be saying all these if it's u that died.. Winch.

Dead people don't browse....

I have a lot of complaints but I am a patriotic Nigerian, I will not wash the dirty linings of my country for others to laugh at, I will only say my bit and see if the government will do something about it. Why would NYSC put the lives of corpers in the hands of doctor corpers who just recently graduated? Don’t get me wrong, these doctors volunteered to be there, but they need experienced personnel on ground for emergencies, they need medical equipments for emergencies, they need surgical materials for medical emergencies they need stable light in the clinic, clean environment and professionals to handle cases corper doctors can’t handle.

What you have in Camps are Clinics not Hospitals, you should understand the difference.

Talk2Bella:
Did you know a corps member who was seven months pregnant miscarried? Oh such sights I saw, mighty lumps of blood everywhere, oh please don’t ask me why she wasn’t redeployed immediately, I know what I know but won’t say I am still a serving corps member but all I will say is “She didn’t look pregnant and she was unmarried”

Pregnant women are not supposed to attend Nysc camps

Talk2Bella:
Why’s there a camp clinic if it’s not for emergencies? Poor woman had to be rushed to the capital for proper medical care; I will not play the game of what if, but what if there were proper medical equipments to treat her in camp would the baby have survived? What if she really looked pregnant would she have been redeployed? What if she was married does it mean she would have gotten instant redeployment and her baby would be alive today? But I am a patriotic Nigerian so I will not play the game of “What If”

Again the difference between Clinics and Hospitals

Talk2Bella:
You wake us up at 4am, send us into the cold with nothing but our shorts and whites and our Khaki shirt and ask us to pray and do parade, do we look like we have been to “ICELAND” before? I do not want the NYSC scheme to be abolished, I made some great friends and families there, but I want our lives to matter, you don’t take a riverine fish out of the river and expect it to survive in the ocean, you don’t take a wild animal out of the forest and try to domesticate it in a park, I haven’t had an asthma attack in years but my second day in camp I came close to having an attack.

NYSC scheme need to be rebranded and restructured, we are still working with the 1973 brochure, children of nowadays are like “Agege Bread” soaked in water we are not strong, I saw a lot of things in camp but I am a patriotic Nigerian, I will say what needs to be said “camp officials tried their best”

In places like South Korea or Israel, you would be serving in the Army. This point here reeks of Laziness.


I really don't know the cause of their death and can't rule out human error/negligence but saying Nysc should be scrapped because of that means driving/flying and all modes of transportation should be scrapped because they kill more humans than Nysc camp would ever do. Heck people die in their sleep, should sleeping be banned?

RIP to the dead.

SOLUTION: Cut-off Grid... each state should generate and distribute her own electricity...

enough of GENCO's, TCN, and DISCO's

Like it was that easy.

CXLVII:
Can't they plead with Dangote, TY Danjuma, Dantata, Babangida, Atiku, Alakija, Adenuga or Idimi to buy PHCN. These moguls can better manage our power sector considering the huge profit they will get from it.

They just the few that can buy it.

Profit from the power sector is not a 5 year thing oh.

The labour unions also expressed dismay over the recent retrenchment by the state government, saying it is a ploy to kick some civil servant out of service.
Speaking on this, Mr. Mohammed said the Kaduna State Property Development Company which had 60 personnel, now has 14, while SUBEB with staff strength of 300, now has only 34 staff.
“Some of our members have already been sent to the office of the Head of Service where they are doing nothing, and in the end the government may decide to terminate their appointments saying their services are no longer needed.
“Therefore the restructure is not acceptable to us and cannot hold because we are going to fight against it,” he said.
Samuel Aruwan, Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs to Governor Nasir El-Rufai, did not respond to calls or text messages on Monday.

Is it only me that thinks this restructuring is a good thing and should be implemented across the country?

Erm Mr Wike, when GEJ was in power, you did the same thing, so why are thou complaining?

Can't remember the age i fell in love with her, but its been a lovely ride so far with lots of up and downs (more downs of late though).

How this kind of topics make the front page is a mystery.


Mr OP can you please speak for yourself?

OP, do you know what the one China policy is?

In 2016, someone's problem is women that can't cook and we wonder why the world is leaving Africa behind.

redsceptic:
You doubt wrongly. Children exposed to psychological trauma can suffer from its effects.

Have you heard of Sigmund Freud? Carl Jung? Eric Ericson? These people are famous for their work in showing how the early experiences of the child affect his adult development.
There is a whole area of psychology devoted to studying and understanding childhood development.
Google is your friend

Trauma: a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.

The kid has a sweet in his mouth and a biscuit in his mouth, since when did that traumatise children?

OP should research more on self driving cars before writing articles about them.

DeLioncourt:
And dyu know what psychological scar you may have left the child with?
Y'all shud consider every implication of an act before executing it. There's a reason such acts are not approved by relevant authorities

I'm not in support of the act but I doubt there'll be any psychological scar. The boy doesn't know his right from his left so how and what would scar him?

Who is going to pay the 10th bank customer if the 1st to 9th customers takes their capital and interest and stop depositing?

The bank would pay them.

In Nigeria today, you need N25b to open a commercial bank. Also, most most bank deposits are insured.


Don't compare MMM to a bank.

Iya Basis needs customers buy her food, so also does Mobil need customers for its crude but they are not in anyway comparable.

Reverend daddy?

His ignorant is the reason Nigeria is going backward.

The reason Nigeria is going backwards has little or nothing to do with education.

apache1883:
Agreed. But for me and my family not also to be stranded, the army authority should develop a system that is robust and that can carter for its personnel. Am a personnel serving in Army HQ in Abuja , the umbrella body for army central administration. I was told by them that there no accomodation for me in there. Is this not a breakdown of system under Gen. Burattai?

I'm not going to speak for Gen Burattai, but your original post labelled Gen Yusuf a bad man, when in truth he's only doing his job and looking out for the troops under his command.

If you've been posted out of the guards brigade, it's only fair you leave accommodation meant for members of the guards brigade otherwise, your replacement would also be stranded.

Icecomrade:


Wicked landlord.

How do you want them to raise money to pay you after looking at their condition you also narrated.

Will you die if you don't get your 8month rent now?

Is your family going to survive on the rent.

What will happen to you if you show some understanding and give them more time to stablize

Raise money and pay off accrued rent.

Ops

You people are very wicked.

God will punish you people

Why don't you invite them to your house?

Miles300:
U can see the difference , even tho they are rich yet he is fixing everyone of them in there field of expertise to head ministries , not here where u av a lawyer as a power minister , a surgeon as minister of labour , a lawyer as minister of sport ! How will Nigeria move forward

Your ignorance is one of kind.

Importation of tooth pick should be banned henceforth.
