Who has time to counter obvious garbage? You think I'm jobless like you? Your ''research'' claims America, which has 300 million guns in circulation - one per citizen, and an annual homicide rate of 40,000, is safer than Botswana, a country that is Africa's most peaceful and prosperous nation, with near zero crime. THAT ALONE shows your research is utter GARBAGE, requiring no further analysis.

[/s]

Lol delusional Nigerian runaway as soon they asked to provide stats to back up claim like I said. Continue your chestbesting since thats al you an do. Im glad you at least know you cant argue stats even when given opportunity.

Botswana hasnt updated its stats since 2011 so yes the claim stands. Maybe you want to claim a country with double the homicide rate per capita cut it down in record time with it being news.

Rosskiki:
Use your head, you illlterate. Don't just accept any numbers thrown at you like some dunce. That ''research'' claims America is as safe as BOTSWANA. Do you know anything about Botswana? MUMU.

[/s]

The clown that's citing random news articles to make flawed analysis is saying dont believe numbers. The Nigerian education system failed you. USA is safer thsn Botswana unlees you have proof other wise. You'd just runaway when ask to cite figures.

I asked you to provide dats from NBS and FBI crime stats. All you can do give random anecdotes. You didnt even have common sense to use per capita figures so we can do apples to apples comparison of crime.

Rosskiki:
Believe this American-penned GARBAGE, and you're even dumber than previouly thought. According to that ''research'', America is safer to live in than Zambia, Trinidad, Togo, and many other nations!

Same way American-dominated organisations name other countries as ''most corrupt'' etc, when it is AMERICA that starts WHOLE WARS that kill millions based on lies, just to conquer those nations and STEAL their resources for the American elite to plunder.

[/s]

I told you to bring your side by side stats not to ramble nonsense. Lol how you can you argue topic and not use per capita stats clown? Delusional Nigerians always chestbeating until you ask them to prove their claims. Can you even prove Nigeria safer than Ghana before ranting about USA.

sweetsell:
Ipob Bureau of Foolish Statistics of course !

Lol you two are delusional next you'll say there's less corruption in Nigeria. I gave UN stats comparing per capita numbers. Nigeria had double murder rate. That's the hasnt changed much. Maybe you clowns want to tell me Buhari cut the murder rate in half within his 1st term and forgot to announce it.

Rosskiki:
Source of this claim?

World bank website. Now do side by side stats if you want to claim nigeria safer than USA.

Intentional homicide rate per 100k:
Nigeria 10 (2015)
USA 5 (2016)


https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5?

The government is going to issue a travel advisory for a country that has less violent crime per capita than them? What a silly thought. If you want use statistics show both countries side by side with per capita numbers.

You'll have an easy time accessing this with FBI crime stats im not sure about NBS.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5?

Ps: The op ran away when asked to debunk statistics.

Your replacement will have it. Find it when your ready if there's a next time.

Man these nairaland conspiracy theories are something else. Im slightly intrigued because of Alex Epstein arrest.

My issues with conspiracy theory.

• There's a statue of limitations for this.
• If he skipped bail why didnt the state arrest him for past 2 decades.
• There woud naturally be warrant for arrest.
• Why hasnt DSS announced charges.

Sources said the bandits arrived in the village on motorcycles around 6.30pm on Sunday and started shooting.

A local government worker in the village, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said some of the bandits also came back on Monday morning.

I guess these bandits skipped meeting.

This is a pathetic deal on so many levels. All amnesty means is the government is unable or unwilling to enforce the law. Oh well at least we have juicy details confirmed like them being mostly fulani and the death toll. What other ethnic groups make up these criminals?

They (bandits) agreed to surrender and release their captives if the state government could also release their people arrested by the security agents.”

The civilian JTF and the volunteer groups were also disbanded.

He said most of the bandits were Fulani.

The state government will soon create Ruga settlements for the Fulani.

PS: It's interesting to note Zamfara under pdp is doing this. These guys will be booted out if things get worse. They only won since APC was incompetent.

Zikora1000:
God will see him through. I lost contact with my relation who is also a soldier and out there fighting Boko Haram. I never lost hope, i kept on praying for him and luckily for me, he called me yesterday . I was so over joyed. I pray yours will return too. Boko Haram have rich northern sponsor s and they are highly connected too.

Does he plan on leaving military after his contract expires?

More pointless posturing from these clowns. 20 days will pass and nothing will happen.

If something urgent is not done they will take total control of our land and even invade Bakassi to conquer us as a people”.

Lol the plan to invade Cameroon? These guys can tell tall tales.

NothingDoMe:
Oya e don do. Nor vex. I dey enjoy your posts so nor allow annoyance spoil the enjoyment

Thank you you have nice day aswell.

NothingDoMe:
You are normally well composed and articulate. Wetin come happen to you today?

I dont like people lying about my statements. Besides everything I said is facts. Did these same people claim the ports are closed or not functional? Lol this same reason they worshiped ambode saying ports open eastern ports.

If im lying expose me please. None of them have denied or refuted my facts yet.

seguno2:
Is it new or it has always been there but for some inexplicable reason, “your people” have preferred to use Lagos and complain anyhow.

These guys are talk crazy. Its a fact its only them that didn't know these facts. They believed their own propaganda. Lol thats why the jumped for joy when Ambode said open eastern ports.

YorubaHero12:
Here you go again chestbeating over nothing, can we actually say this is some form of disability embedded in you guys DNA.

Do you know Onne port has been functioning even before now it’s just that it has low patronage?

Can you tell me where the market for goods is concentrated in Nigeria ?? Lagos right

If you import cars or other goods through the Onne port
Where are you gonna sell it at, mostly Lagos right considering the spending power of the people in Lagos.

If I import goods through Onne port, I still have to use ground transportation to take them back to Lagos right thereby incurring more transport cost and other miscellaneous. That form the major bulk why people prefer Lagos port.

Well let’s give it 3 years and we’ll all come back to see if your analogy is right or wrong judging by your last sentence.

They're an annoying bunch they've been lying for years only to comeback chestbesting. Even the article says they been steadly increasing over 3 years meaning they always had option.

Over the last three years, the WACT terminal has seen significant increase in volumes resulting in its investment in various containers handling equipment such as five reach stackers, two empty handlers and 14 terminal trucks.

989900:
Brought in my first SUV through here in 2003 (courtesy, wayward shipping agent).

I wonder why people complain about non-functioning ports in the east.

They arent importers and they dont read. If they knew and still said this nonsense they're just liars.

MobilityExpress:
Kill one, go to jail. Kill 1,000 they will give you amnesty with money, lands and CON award. Our state governments are worse than the Federal

Lol it reminds me of quote I like. Life is strange like that.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

Aesop

JAWBONE:
Hatred and bigotry has distorted your ability to think properly to the extent that you can't compose a coherent sentence anymore.

Lol you guys are weird bunch. You guys opperate on two modes. Either it's a victim complex mixed with delusions of grandeur. Lol whats wrong with my statement. This can't be a secret when its widely known by business community.

TundeBricklayer:
Monitoring spirit You have been monitoring eastern ports since, I could remember when you wrote large vessel can sail to Onne Port because of it shallowness according to you
Read this

THISDAY checks showed that vessels now sail directly from Asia (particularly China), America and Europe to Onne including vessels as large as 4000TEUs capacity. This has had a direct moderating impact on the cost of goods as compared to the position in the past.

Your memory bad I said can take larger vessels because its actually deeper than alot of ports. I also said its one of busiest according to NPA stats. Tell another lie clown. It seem you and brothers are tired of preaching about how bad eastern ports now. Im glad yall have seen the light.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
[s][/s]

I just triggered this nigger

Stop monkeying about and refute the fact that your HNIC called you niggers lazy

Lol you're boring me now. I cant expect much from inbred meth head hailing dirty commie. Go back to storm front with these weak jokes.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Even your HNIC, Buhari said you niggers are lazy.

I said idiots hold similar opinions you're no different. Cite more example like your friends wnd family members next if you want.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Commies, Nazis, Zionists, Islamists, Globalists, colonialist republicans, and Democrats alike all agree that niggers are lazy.

Idiots tend to hold stupid opinions so what's your point.

TundeBricklayer:
If feel your pains, I know people from your region will not be happy reading this report

Who's in pain clown. You're the only one surprised at the report. Its your clown patrol preaching eastern ports are dysfunctional or not open for business..

Described by importers as the best kept secret, the company has been successfully connecting East, North, West Central Nigeria and Rivers State to the world since its establishment a few years ago.

Lol at best kept secret. It Makes me think of unknown beach town normies dont flock to. You would think this would be known to businessmen in region since they talk to eachother.

Who cares what the dirty commie thinks.

Amnesty is scary word. It tells you they're unable or unwilling to fully enforce law. What leverage do they have to persuade them to negotiating table why they kill with impunity already.

The governors have also banned the activities of a vigilance group, Volunteers (Yan-sakai), in the region and urged them to surrender all the arms and ammunition in their possession.

The only reason these militia groups formed is because everything is SNAFU. I doubt they'll just give up guns. I wouldn't knowing it's last resort to protect my family and self. When rule of law diapears these types fill power vacuum.

Francis Sardauna in Katsina

Amnesty is underway for bandits who have unleashed a reign of terror on many of the seven states in the North-west.

Thousands of people have either been kidnapped or killed in the states by non-state actors who have seized control of communities and invaded villages, farmlands.

Worst hit by the insecurity in the region are Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna and Sokoto states.

Rising from a security meeting Thursday, governors from the zone and the Inspector General of Police (IG), Mr. Mohammed Adamu, resolved to grant amnesty to the bandits to pave the way for dialogue for peace to reign in the region.

Governors at the meeting, held in Katsina, were Mallam Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna), Hon. Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje (Kano), Alhaji Mohammed Mattawale (Zamfara), Alhaji Abubakar Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi) and the host, Mallam Aminu Masari.
The governors have also banned the activities of a vigilance group, Volunteers (Yan-sakai), in the region and urged them to surrender all the arms and ammunition in their possession.

They also described the volunteers as illegal group, and admonished them to distance themselves from any security issue in the country.
In a communiqué issued Thursday at the end of a five-hour meeting, which was read by Masari, the governors said they reviewed various steps so far taken at individual state levels with a view to restrategising and improving on them for lasting peace in the region and country at large.

“The meeting resolved that Yan-sakai (Volunteers) should stop their illegal activities. They have no legal backing and the police will arrest volunteers who go about killing and molesting people in the country,” he said.

Masari said the volunteers should surrender all the arms and ammunition in their possession to the authorities and also release all people in their captivity “because we learnt that some people were taken as hostage by both Yan-sakai and bandits.”

“The families should be allowed to be attending market places, worship places and go about their normal activities provided they don’t carry arms into public places. They should conduct their affairs peacefully and leave peacefully.

“In order to further peace and harmony within communities, those who stole animals from communities and people living among them should return them through government or the association of Miyetti Allah. This is necessary because in order to ensure peace and understanding sacrifices must be made by both sides,” he added.

According to him, the governors also resolved to consider dialogue and amnesty for the bandits for peace to reign in the region, stating that only a collective and united approach to the issue of dialogue and amnesty in the North-west could end the menace.
On his part, Adamu said the police would work with the governors in the implementation of the resolutions, adding that nobody is allowed to attack unjustly.

“You are not allowed to kill; so, the Yan-sakai have to be very careful. Never again should they come out and attack anybody because anybody that does that we will pursue that person and make sure we bring such person to book.

“And we now resolved within ourselves that banditry does not pay; those of us in the bush are free to come to town and markets and do whatever business they want to do without any molestation,” he said.

He, however, warned repented bandits against returning to crime, saying: “the freedom given out does not mean that you should continue to do the banditry. If you are not ready to repent and to work within these resolutions it means you want to test the resolve of the states.”
“Our meeting today is the review of what we have been doing for a very long time. Before today, there have been a lot of initiatives within the North-western part of this country on how to cooperate and stop the killings that has taken place between one community and the other,” he added.

He said the approaches so far taken by government and security agencies would end bloodletting and enable farmers, business owners and other citizens to carry out their responsibilities without hindrance.

“We know we are farmers; we should be able to go back and farm. We know we are cattle breeders; we should be able to have opportunities to breed our cattle without molestations.

“And that is why we are here today with other stakeholders to brainstorm and add to the successes that we have achieved so that at the end of the day, other parts of the country will emulate what has been done in the North-western part of this country so that there will be total peace within this country,” Adamu said.

Besides the governors and the IG, the meeting was also attended by commissioners of police of five North-west states, members of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and representative of Niger State governor.

ikennaf1:
If I didn't proffer an alternative, it means I support the status quo. With all its weaknesses, it is still better than the alternative you suggested. ie giving the security votes to the military.

You seem to live in an ideal world my friend, but the world is anything but ideal. Like I said earlier, you're so naive.

The status quo is dumb hence why the security situation is pathetic. Since you have support structurally flawed system it shows youre unwise and uneducated. By your logic channeling more money to police departments is bad because they do corrupt acts. It's illogical to use your reasoning since reform is better than stagnation in this case.

ikennaf1:
You are convinced that you know what you're talking about, but you're stark ignorant, or at best naive

Your first point above, you want security votes to be channeled to the military, in order to avoid fraud, according to you. A military that secretly buries it's own in order to delete the "pawn" from history and divert their salaries and entitlements to a corrupt few.

I do know what im talking about. You dont have counter argument hence why you cant mention alternative solution. The NASS is tasked with over seeing the budget hence why its better this way. Giving it to governors and other parties fuels corruption since it unaccounted for since any information walled off by national security .

There's no angels in country hence why you institute checks and balances. If you dont have better alternative save you're what about-ism for someone else. The government compently bought weapons from usa and equipment from domestic producers like proforce so this good solution.

Figures obtained from the NIPC showed that the $15.15bn proposed investments were made for 43 projects in 12 states and the Federal Capital.

Comparatively, the proposed investments for the first half of this year showed a 67 per cent decline when compared to the corresponding period of 2018.

RisMas:
Wailers will avoid this thread like plague, They dont like to read good news. May the lord soften your hearts oOo

Did you read article?

that's disappointing. The FDI been cratering. I would blsme the monetary policy weak economy. There's simply better places to make returns.

We learnt that the wife of the other four soldiers had escaped.

Lol the army is wasting their time. If he didnt send for them he's not coming for them. The lesson here is the army needs need to stop their foolishness. You guys shouldn't be moving millions in cash anyway unless it for covert actions. Under normal circumstances just write a check.
