Thankyou.

I observed that electronic are cheaper in the US than Europe. But maybe it has to do with cost of labor and regulations?

Very possible.

Why are the rich "oppressing" the poor?

If not for the "fake products from China" many people would never be able to afford a flat screen Tv - How many families in Nigerian are buoyant enough to cough out 500 to 800 euros for a quality LG TV?

How many have the resources to even buy original quality phones or other gadgets?

I

$500 to $800 Euro for a TV? Average price for a brand new world class Roku Smart TV in the US is $100 to $300. Which is about 85 to 260 Euro.

Of course there are out of this world 80 inch TVs for $3000. But a good 40 inch TV is less than $200.

I made a comment during crossover about the dangers of being outside by midnight during crossover when elements of the devil know people will be wandering at ungodly hours. Here is one result

I definitely saw such a comment on a thread, maybe it was yours.

May God have Mercy on us

nickxtra:
These my Western people have suddenly forgotten Bola Ige. They now dine and wine with the suspected culprit.

Extremely sad. I cant believe Chief Akande would ever have anything to do with Omisore.

RealLordZeus:
They have been doing so every year for a while now

Most Nigerians have terrible knowledge of history. In about 5 years, many will be saying how great Buhari was; how he dealt with bandits and terrorists and stopped corruption.

On Christmas day.....thank God for First Responders.....It is well.

Transparent or Corruption free? No disrespect to the man and his workers, but no government agency in Nigeria especially oil industry is Corruption free.

They can be Transparent though. You can be stealing and Transparent. Just say " yes we are stealing 30% of all monies" Thats honesty and transparency.

DelilahMakinde:
No, Obama did.

Obama is the main reason. For that

Obama? Barack Obama? Una don start. Nigerians, we always overrate ourselves

2special:
The first start of the day, always allows the RMP to drop to 1 or a bit lower than 1..... that's allow the car to warm up before driving.

Warming up the car is something I have never seen in the West except during winter when its really cold and the car is like a freezer.

But summer, just get in the car and drive. Never even heard any car manufacturer recommending warm your car.

Also why do we put water in the engine instead of Coolant?

He moved blocks to the Airport to build a fire station, then after the primaries, he moved them out?

But why is a private citizen building a fire station at the Airport?

Why didnt the original plan/construction of an Airport have a fire station included?

owobokiri:
Call me a hater, but i will keep saying the truth about this man and his business modus operandi. This man's desperation to force every government agency to dance to his whims and caprices is part of the problem of this country. He has basically stampeded out any potential local competitors in the different areas he invests in. There is basically no regulatory agency that is not afraid of him.

The loose ends in government oversights and management of the private sectors has made the economy so vulnerable and Dangote has been ruthlessly exploiting these. As a result, he may end up the richest man on earth while Nigeria will end up one of the poorest . This man sets sugar prices, sets floor prices, sets pasta prices, sets cement prices and is now the one who sets the pump prices of petroleum products across Nigeria!

This is extremely dangerous!
We are now living in "The Federal Republic of Dangote".

Dangote is our man. Don't be a hater.
Dangote has done more for Nigeria than all Nigerian Presidents ,present and former combined.

Or maybe he meant their boys: Bandit businessmen crippled agriculture in the North.
Just on. Monday, those evil terrorists killed soldiers in Taraba who were escorting farmers to their farm to go and harvest.
Imagine going to the farm is now a dangerous profession.
And this same guy was Attorney General for 8 whole years and never prosecuted one bandit, rapist or terrorist? He was busy chasing Sowore and Nnamdi Kanu.

Offpoint1:
The governors can't because they themselves are criminals, so even kxll to get to that position.

Exactly!

Mattswaggz:
Why is the execution penalty not used in Nigeria?. .

Governors have to sign the execution warrant. And they are too cowardly to do it. Nobody wants to be called Killer Governor.

Since 1999 when civilians came back, only one Governor: Oshiomole of Edo State signed warrant and it was once: for the execution of 7 armed robbers. In true Nigerian fashion, only 5 were executed on the day, two names were mysteriously removed the morning of the execution.

Death sentence is now life.

Although to be fair, some people sentenced to death are probably innocent with the way Nigerian judiciary is.

This is really really really sad.

He was murdered?

EmperorIsaac:
Oh wife! You were quiet while fully benefitting from the perks of office; suddenly, you have found your voice. No Nigerian politician- past or present- is clean. Quote me daily!

Aisha? Quite? Maybe you were not falling the news back then.
She was the first person to raise objections about goings on in the country as far back as 2016.

She was the one who revealed that despite a 500 million to 1 Billion naira budget, the State House Clinic in Aso Rock had no cotton wool.

At a point Buhari himself told her to stop interfering, that she knows nothing about happenings in government and her place was in the kitchen and the other room.

So you need petition to investigate a crime? So why are we paying you all salaries and giving you expensive SUVs to cruise around?

Nawa for Nigerian judicial and security people. Like when that DSS man said they cant release Sowore back in 2021 after the great Judge Ojokwu release him on bail. Oga DSS said :" We dont want to release him because we afraid that as he is crossing the road, motor can jam him".

Comedians of the highest order!

MadamVanessa:
Does that change the fact that Igbos are not the target. Are Igbos businesses in Lagos not being destroyed? Are their houses not being mapped out for destruction everyday.

And Igbo properties are not been destroyed in Anambra and Imo? Who is targeting Igbos there?

Are properties of Yoruba people not been demolished in Lagos? So Yorubas are now targeting themselves?

Man, the problem in Nigeria is not Igbo vs Yoruba or Nupe vs Hausa or Ijaw vs Ibibio...its the oppressors vs the oppressed. Weak vs Strong.

Every illegal activity in Nigeria is always carried out by gangs and teams with people from all over Nigeria and all religions. Nigerians cooperate when it's time to do evil.

MadamVanessa:



Dear Igbos, the better for you all to relocate all your business back to the east the better for you all. I'm not Igbo, but clearly, the Igbos are the target in this country. I can't count the numbers of Igbo businesses and mansions being destroyed everyday especially in Lagos. Them no wan Una, Una still the force Una self to stay there.

The Lagos that is talk about today is because of Igbos ingenuity and industrious nature, if all the Igbos relocate their businesses , I bet Lagos wont be better than orie in ondo state.

An Igbo man sued an Igbo man and you said Igbos are the target? Please explain.

This is just sad. Look at the level of destruction.

9jabox:
It’s absolutely true. Anyone who has read this book will not be surprised. These guys have been using technology to fight our troops since as far back as 2012.

It’s a big shame that in 2025, our troops still use WhatsApp to chat in battlefronts while bandits are using satellite technology to do their thing.

You can get the book here:

Is the book factual? Have you read it?Any corroborating references or sources?
I ll check it out.

malali:
What happened with the Skipper is not just a maritime embarrassment, it is a national disgrace that exposes a chronic Nigerian problem: the government is brilliant at fighting loud insecurity headlines while utterly blind to the shadow-economy criminals who quietly bleed the country dry and tarnish its name abroad.
, not just the headline-making insecurity on home soil.[/b][/color]

I dont and won't defend the Nigerian government no matter the party. But with the information in this article, how is this embarrassing to the country or government?
There are international criminals everywhere.
They were not even flying Nigerian flag.
And I am almost sure the crew would mostly be non Nigerians.

Originalsly:
Interesting. I was wondering how many people launched the attack ... that only three are at trial. Is it because they are Muslims and the victims Christians therefore the motive is religious? ... Christian genocide? If they were calling for a particular person ... then one should want to believe it was a personal matter. This reminds me of South American drug cartels ... when one takes their drugs to sell and disappears ... they usually wipe out his family. Can this be the same MO?... drug related? ... the killers being part of a cartel hit squad? ..the one they were calling for the target?...and since he was not forthcoming they riddled his "family"? ... the church members? Let's hear from the other side. This case has taken a long time to trial .... why? This is just more evidence that the government is not at all concerned about mass killings of the common man. But the same common man is so passionate about voting the same government back into power. And we wonder why we are not moving forward .

You have said it all.

I remember the mass church shooting in Anambra about 8 years ago, we heard it was some drug dealers angry about a guy who duped them in South Africa so they came to the father's Church and killed almost 20 people.

The people of Owo deserve answers and justice.

OLAADEGBU:
The defendants — Idris Abdulmalik Omeiza (25), Al Qasim Idris (20), Jamiu Abdulmalik (26), Abdulhaleem Idris (25), and Momoh Otuho Abubakar (47) — are facing a nine-count amended charge before Justice Emeka Nwite.

If these are the killers, I am asking myself are these really human beings? The massacre that day was beyond evil.
Let's hear what they will say in their defense?

Does anyone know the reason for the attack?
1) ISWAP and Boko Haram usually gloat , make videos and tell the whole world of their achievements.
2) Terrorists would normally target something major in a major city for example the State Capitall.
3) Were the attackers after some people in particular as one eye witness said after the attack in 2022? He said they were shouting for someone and then people confronted them ,thats when the shooting started.

If these people are guilty, it should be death penalty and prompt execution.

Simply allow verified private security companies and Civil Defense personnel to carry guns, then Police won't need to protect individuals

We make simple things difficult in Nigeria.

Reference:
Totally understand.
The economy is in a terrible state.
Most salaries simply do not make sense.
Most Nigerians live illegally and unethically to make ends meet.

But the truth of the matter is that policing remains a social service, an obligation of the state as per the constitution.

But the Federal government is mistaken if it thinks it can fund the policing of this country to any reasonable standards alone.

Two things it should do:

One, press legislation to have state and local government police. The Federal government retains somewhere about 40 percent of all revenues accruing to this country. In simple terms it should be paying only 40 percent of the police work force in Nigeria. States and LGA's should fund the rest to their capacities. Only 4 out of 10 policemen should be a Federal officer.

Two, press legislation to have personal protection and facility protection services as an independent institution which will be administered and commissioned by the end users at their cost subject to certain eligibility laws. So that everyone from the Presidency to the Bank CEO, everywhere from refineries to government buildings are protected by this service.

Government can then make their security a line item in the budget and made payable to this organisation and civilians as well in their company and personal accounts.

Then the police will become a truly independent, apolitical institution and regain a lot of professionalism and respect it has frittered away cavorting with the very people it should superintend over.

You are definitely an intelligent person and also a patriot!!!

Reference:
I believe the directive was clear enough.
That personal protective services and facility protection by the police has ended and such duties will be handled by the Civil Defence going forward.

So I don't understand what excuses these are.
For a policeman to leave his posting to travel as a so called escort.

When you begin to find loopholes to laws and directives the end result is a total collapse of such laws and edicts because Nigerians are notorious for exploiting and abusing them to the fullest.

Expect the generation of a thousand new excuses each week going forward in this lawless country.

That directive won't work for the simple reason of leadership by example.
If the President and his family don't live on their salaries as in they enjoy the Nigerian loot, there is no way you will tell a policeman with a salary of 150k a month not to argument his pay with extra 200k by providing services for people especially when his Ogas collect quota.

Things like this will work when:

1) Corruption becomes a crime in Nigeria and people are prosecuted

2) True salaries are paid people. Paying a President 1 million naira or a policeman with a gun 150k is a joke.

3) Governorment creates a safety net for the people so that within a generation,money is no longer the only symbol of success

MEGAWATCH:
It will never work, how many things has worked under this bad luck man called Bola Tinubu?


We have already made some arrangements to travel with some policemen and they assured us nothing is happening, even if Tinubu stays on the road...

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

Nigeria is too sweet, forget all the bad stories.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Private temporary assignment of of off duty policeman will never stop. Its the detailing of police who should be on duty that has to end.
If i am not wrong, at least 20% of policemen will always be off duty whether during the day or night, they can be allowed to be hired and paid.
Even in America, that's how policemen argument their salary.

But to permanently place policemen to be guarding people, that needs to stop, but only if the government allows the security outfits to be armed and also NDDC or what do they call them again?
