Why are we always like this in Nigeria and Africa? Why are we always melodramatic? Why has a senate summons become a matter to be decided by a court when serious matters are yet to be addressed? The IG is just playing games with the Senate because he knows the proposed meeting is to hammer him but then if his case is iron clad why not go there and rubbish them and their arguments as many others before him have done in the past (remember Sanusi?) Meanwhile, the pendulum swings both ways here. Where is it written that he requires a court order to appear before the senate upon receipt of their summons? Does he not have the prerogative to apply discretion? I am not a Melaye lover as I have said many times past but the public show of Shame (true or concocted) and the national importance of the underlying happenings should have simply lead him to tow the path of humility and respect for an important arm of the government which he purportedly serves. He is wasting our tax money instituting a worthless and needles case in court. Is this how low we have become debased in this country? He could simply have just told them the day he will be available and stick to it. What is all this nonsense self? |

martineverest:Not exactly true sir. The BBC even stated in the documentary that the company was investigating the staff. Emzor didn't do "nothing". We need to learn to protect our own in Nigeria and Africa. Is what happened at Emzor that different from what happened in Facebook (Cambridge Analytica scandal)? Was facebook shut down even when it was clear that they were negligent and culpable in putting millions of people at risk? The answer is no. Instead they called the head honcho, gave him a talking too and asked him to do better. If this was Nigeria, NCC might have banned facebook and shut down it's operations |

gabrielniy:Bros I am not from the east. I a from Edo. My wife is Ijebuode, my best friend is from ebonyi and I schooled in Niger state with most of my friends from there. The statement on herdsmen was not out of ethnicity. It was to compare the way both incidences that affect human health and life, and also means of livelihood/ employment have been handled. Closing down factories because of one drug and one official is wrong and non productive. Same matter with herding. They provide all our beef and also employment so it won't make sense banning it too, but we can clean it up by ranching. That is all I am saying. Clean up the process for distribution and retailing but don't close the factories 2 Likes 1 Share |

The US mission in Nigeria has said all enquiries on the Tucson purchase should b3 addressed to the Nigerian Govt. I had in the past mentioned that the figures did not add up and that we coughed up cash today to get even less value by 2020. What do you think? "The Nigerian government is enmeshed in a controversy over purchase price of the aircraft which is meant to effectively decimate Boko Haram - Depending on the configuration, each A29 Super Tucano aircraft is reported to cost between $9 and $18 million Following the controversy surrounding the purchase of 12 A29 Super Tucano aircraft by the Nigeria government, the United States has rebuffed enquiries on the purchase price of the aircraft. The Nigerian government is currently enmeshed in the controversy over the manner of payment for the aircraft without appropriation by National Assembly, a development that stirred mutterings by legislators who want the president sanctioned over the issue" Courtesy -Vanguard |

gabrielniy:Which freaking investigation are you talking about? What is yet to be discovered or unearthed? 1. There is a codeine abuse epidemic especially in the North. 2. People buy them off the shelf without any form of restriction or prescription. 3. We need to ensure that pharmacies are adequately regulated to ensure that only those that truly need it get it. 4. To do 3 above, laws need to be put on place to guide the manufacturers on distribution modalities to ensure it gets to the pharmacies only who will only dispense on receipt of a valid prescription. Closing and employer of labour in a country like ours that is grossly suffering from unemployment and under manufacturing is just self destructive. If human life is really important to the government, Why hasn't the ministry of agriculture banned cow herding and grazing in Nigeria due to the thousands of people that have died as a result of the long archaic method of meat production and the wahala it creates with farmers and replace it with ranching? So it's the factories that can be closed so easily via fiat abi? |

rusher14:I totally disagree with you. This action by Nafdac has nothing to do with patriotism or the desire for a better Nigeria. It's just a punitive knee jerk reaction to an embarrassing documentary which exposed their incompetence at carrying out the job that we, the citizens of this country had been paying them to do. The drug in question was not classified as a drug which could not be sold off the shelf neither was it designated as a controlled substance, not by Nigerian Law or by Nafdac themselves. The companies in question were thus not required to control it's sale modalities. Meanwhile I would like to remind you that the companies illegally shut by nafdac are not retailers as they do not sell directly to consumers so how are they party to wrong consumption or abuse by consumers? The only company that could have an over stretched sense of culpability is emzor and I stress it that to accord culpability to emzor due to the actions of one staff is a gross over stretch of conjecture! These companies are manufacturers and not pharmacies. NAFDAC failed in its responsibility and is only Trying to save face. Are they saying they were not aware of the codeine epidemic in the north for over 10 years? Is it not their responsibility to "control" drug consumption, production and administration to protect the consumers. Where was Nafdac all this while? Instead of looking into their modus operandi to fine tune it to prevent easy access to the drugs through the retail end of the spectrum they are here heaping and throwing blames around. If these companies are culpable then NAFDAC is just as culpable! 1 Like |

Thank God!! A worthy thread finally!! My brother I will not claim to have all the answers but I can at least share my own knowledge and insights with you and I hope they will help you. Before I do I will like to let you know that you are at the precipice of self realization and revelation. The events and the thoughts that brought you to this point were all part of your journey to self realization and revelation of your true essence. To understand the meaning or value of life on earth you would need disabuse your mind of a lot of things you have been thought by society, parents, religion, schools and all worldly influences perceived by the 5 senses. This is because life is spiritual and cannot be perceived in its true form by all of these senses. In the first place, you need to understand that YOU predate your "life" on earth. Life is simply the time that you spend on earth. It is not the totality of your existence or being. "Life" as it is known on earth is considered to begin from conception in the womb but counting starts the minute you are born into this world. If you continue to believe this calculation to be true then you will never understand the value life. Before you or anyone on this earth was born he/she existed in spirit and lived in the spirit realm. This sounds far reaching but even the major religions hint at it but they continue to keep stuff from people because it makes them easier to control and keeps this world moving. Revealing the truth will kill the world as we know it. And this is why it is written that my people perish for the lack of knowledge. Before you were born you existed and had your own name. And that is why it was written : [i][b] "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."[/[/b]i] All life comes from God Almighty. God is a spirit and we are all his children. Spirit begets spirit. You come into this world (life) with nothing except your flesh (body) and spirit but at death you leave with only your spirit. The flesh (no matter how beautiful and perfect it was) is left here on earth to rot away. Life is a degraded form of our true existence and form to allow for a testing of the spirit for TRUTH. All the travails and challenges experienced by all men are only possible in this degraded form. Poverty, sadness, barrenness difficulty are all problems of the flesh and there is a reason why God allowed it all. Your spirit man belongs to God as you are part of him and came from him. The Devil, the prince of this world owns the world (please note I said the world not the earth - they are not the same) and has permission to o test all of God's children in a bid to ensure that they become tainted and unable to return to God as God is pure and cannot behold sin. Have you never asked why God has continued to allow all the evil and wickedness in the world when he could put it all to an immediate end? He is not wicked or heartless to just ignore his own children. Our life is a test to see if indeed we will do God's will when tested. In the spirit everything is in black and white, good and bad only. There is no in between. He is The Truth and the Devil is the Father of the lie as written. All our senses make all the tests possible because they have the capacity to portray the lies of the devil. This senses are the reason why the Fisherman sank when he realized he was walking on water. His whole being and senses told him it is impossible to walk on water. These senses are man's greatest enemy in building faith. When Christ said we would tell mountains to move if we had faith like a mustard seed did you think he was lying? With Faith comes the understanding of the Truth and with that all things are possible. So my brother seek God personally and believe me you will find him because he is in you and talks to you. It's is simply our sins (doing things against God's will due to weaknesses of our current degraded state in the flesh) that separate us from him. One way to improve your closeness to God is through Fasting. Fasting weakens the body. Once the body (flesh) is weak the spirit is strenghtened. Pray and confess your sins to him and ask him to strengthen you and guide you. Do your prayers between the hours of 12 and 3 am he will speak to you through the gifts he already imbued you with at the point he allowed you come for this test. The story of Job is underrated. Note that even after his fall the devil still came to heaven and even responds to God on his actions on earth. Note carefully that it was God himself that mentioned Job to the devil as he was pleased with Job's conduct on earth. Also note that every evil test thrown at Job by the devil was only possible with and to the extent of God's permission granted him. This why it is written that: " No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" The value of life is only obtained in completing this test of life successfully. The value is only to be found in the spirit which you will become when you die. Life is a test and also a gift as it allows you the opportunity to return on to the father and see the true life he desires for is all, no poverty, Nigerian hunger, no sadness where all evil and falsehood are not found. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

I wonder why guys bother to rape anyone these days? There are so many women and even girls out there that would willingly drop their panties if your game is tight. This girl might be a victim but being raped the way she describes indicates she probably moved in dirty circles and was a bit too carefree with her lifestyle, which made being raped twice possible. Rape is totally unacceptable but let me say something that some of the female chauvinists here might see as offensive - some cases of "rape" are simply reported due to an afterthought. Both the rapist and the raped are at times to be blamed. Whether you agree or not, men are physically stronger than women. Why would any woman put herself in compromised situation that puts her at risk? Why go up to a hotel room with a guy you hardly know when you know he could drug you and have sex with you without your consent? Why go binge drinking with guys in a club and leave with them in their car after getting drunk with them. The pendulum swings both ways. People have been jailed for years based on false rape accusations while some rapists have escaped justice based on the argument of mutual consent. apart from those that are abducted or forcefully taken to places of the purported rape, proof becomes a key elements in the dispensation of justice. The rapist would be dealt with if it can be proved that it was not mutual otherwise he might escape. Women are usually the victims so they are the ones to be more careful with their movements and associations. What is a 16 year old girl doing in club in the first place? Even in the US you need to be an adult and some clubs go as far as requesting id if you look too young. If she is courted by a rapist and eventually raped has she not played a part in getting herself to the situation she now finds herself? |

Do you know that many Local TV And radio stations has done exposes and documentaries on codeine abuse that the government totally ignored? So because it's bbc that did this it's time to take such a rash action.

Most Effective pain killers in the world are opiods which extremely addictive. Can you ban them because people are abusing it? Can you do surgeries without them? How many substances dem go ban? Instead of tightening controls on the sales and distribution of the effective cough treatment they are banning it out right - it's a drug and except where it is proven that it's regulated and proper use has serious side effects it should not have been banned simply because some troubled youth are abusing it. Can they ban beer or spirits which are not even drugs? Can they ban cigarettes? We are so foolish as a country I can't even begin to understand it anymore walahi!! 4 Likes |

musa234:May you remain blessed my brother. As an African and a Nigerian specifically, I find it very disappointing when I see my fellow Africans ignorantly displaying neo-colonialism. It is even more painful when the display comes from our leaders. Why do Africans and African leaders always require western acceptance and acknowledgement before they can see themselves as OK or in the right? For the sake of all things good, how can a visit to the US President by our president be considered an achievement? I listened to the joint press briefing. It was praise praise praise for America. I did not hear him present our case or demands. What were the historical agreements reached on trade? On America buying less Nigerian crude he answered saying "I will not tell another country what to do" - I mean what the hell does that mean? There was no negotiation by him in any way in that briefing. I even saw a place where Trump queried PMB in a manner that sounded like him issuing instruction on the issues he should speak on. He looked overwhelmed once again, probably even awed. As much as some people hat OBJ - he has a commanding persona anywhere at international gatherings. He holds his own and says his position. He is an African who doesn't cower at the sight of foreigners. Trump got more accolades from Buhari than even the Americans give him and Buhari will get even less from Nigerians for this one sided show of weakness |

GrammarCheck:My brother please I would beg you to apply rationality time to this debate. These killings being done by whoever has a cause. What is that cause? What grouse could these foreign mercenaries have against Nigerian Farmers ? Why are these mercenaries killing Nigerians, especially farmers and lately religious centers? Who hired them? It is world wide knowledge that mercenaries are paid and they work for the highest bidder in most cases. The only other thing that can motivate a mercenary apart from money is religion, in which case the name changes from mercenary to terrorist or fanatic. Who is paying them and what do the so called mercenaries stand to gain since they aren't Nigerians? Answer these questions and you will see that the Fulani herdsmen of Nigeria fit every single one. They have a grouse with farmers and indigenous peoples. They are rich as the owners of the cows are usually highly placed people since a Fulani is not considered truly wealthy by his people without cows. They can afford to pay these killers. They stand to gain from the murder and cleansing of the people and their lands they desire to use for their livestock. Don't kid yourself and anyone else oga |

CowrieKing:I schooled in the North. What the president said was true a couple of years back but things have changed and he should update his idea of who a herdsman is TODAY! In today's Nigeria, weapons are everywhere. Did you watch the offspring robbery video, or that of the previous one in Lekki? Boko Haram did not have weapons a couple of years back when they started but today their own videos show heavy weapons, artillery guns, and even armored personnel carriers and tanks. Please tell me why it is so easy to believe that militants in the creeks have assorted weapons and the the Fulani herdsmen don't? Are the weapons sold in the black-market only sold to the creeks? That he said he is shocked that the herdsmen of today (that are not Nigerians) carry weapons is not surprising and is to me even disappointing . This is the same president that gave a direct order to the head of a security agency and said he "was not aware" that the order was not carried out. That same man is still at the helm of affairs of that agency. I don't hate buhari and I don't believe he is a bad man cause I voted for him in 2015 but I believe he is overwhelmed and not capable of becoming up to speed with what is wrong and what needs to be done to correct it. The country is in dire straights and we need a vibrant strong and determined leader in his prime, physically, mentally and even spiritually.

This is mind boggling!!! Can Buhari identify "Nigerian" herdsmen from the others? How do you identify a people who don't have a fixed location and don't have any nationality identification papers? A Senegalese Fulani is the same as the one in Gambia, Chad Nigeria or Niger. Anybody with little knowledge about West Africa will yell you that the Fulani people are scattered from Senegal to Cameroon. They are the major herdsmen in the whole ecowas block. They don't respect borders and move freely from country to country as of they are still in the 19th century and all countries in West Africa where they have brethren belong to them. What research did the government do to determine that they are foreigners? I am indeed disappointed in the president for these remarks. I am however not surprised. The Fulani are know to be fiercely loyal to their kith and kin. Believe me when I say he is more loyal to this age long ethnic loyalty of the Fulani than he is to the constitution of Nigeria. I am voting for anyone but this guy!! |
