Shut up, Indians commit crime too in Nigeria, why haven't they deported them?

Besides, there are still honest Nigerians Living in India.
You are just suffering from low self esteem, typical nature of most black people in Africa.

I lost my dad's land documents..and I want to sell it....how do retrieve it..
The land is registered..

Napata77:
I disagree with your secession clause.

WHEN DO WE STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM OUR PROBLEMS, FOR GOODNESS' SAKE?

Other countries have problems. They go through hell and high water to resolve their issues.

Africans have problem. The first thing is secession. Everybody go his way.

Stand up and solve your problems like men!

Who will invest in a country where any region can just wake up in the morning and declare secession?

You people should stop this nonsense, please.

Can you join israel and iran together to form a peaceful progressing country.

Napata77:
But you may need a redrawn map to create or generate the leadership consciousness that would care to go about changing the mindset of the people. Such govt activism is often insincere in artificial nations.

Governor Adeleke says none of the mining companies operating in the state for the past 25 years has paid any dividends to the state.

Governor Ademola Adeleke has ordered mining companies operating in Osun State under the licence of the state government to suspend their activities immediately.

A statement issued by Mr Adeleke's spokesperson, Rasheed Olawale, in Osogbo on Wednesday announced the development.

The statement said the directive was to enable the government to review the Memorandum of Understanding entered into with the mining firms by the previous administration of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

"In furtherance of his bid to reform the state's Solid Mineral Sector, Governor Ademola Adeleke has directed immediate suspension of all mining firms operating the state's mining licenses," Mr Olawale said.

He stressed that the suspension will be till further notice.

"The suspension of the operators is to remain in force until the conclusion of the ongoing review of the MOU between the state as the owner of the licenses and the operators."

He also ordered owners of the mining companies to present copies of the MoU given to them by the previous administration.

"All operators are to report to the Committee on Assets Verification and Recovery chaired by Dr B.T Salami with copies of their Memorandum of Understanding which governs their relationship with the state government," he added.

"All operators are to report to the committee on Monday by 12 p.m."

The governor had earlier said on Monday that all companies mining gold in the state will henceforth pay 13 per cent of their profit into the state coffers.

He said for the past 25 years, records showed that none of the mining companies in the state paid their dividends to the state.

The governor vowed to ensure all mining production companies in the state pay the state its entitlements.

seborrhic:
It's the stake that makes the difference.
There is little or no gain in stealing those documents in transit.
As per your assertion that cloned cards are useless.Agreed and that's why I wrote:"even if not true",politicians or even ordinary people can go around spreading wide rumours which can cause serious credibility issues for the voting process.
It can take just a single mischievous or ill informed fellow to raise it on social media and many users that have given up their capacity to think for themselves,spread it,it gets to the folks in towns and villages,exaggerated by each 10km the rumour travels and you have a serious crisis on INEC hands.

juman:
You know why yourself.

Many or most of them would be waylaid and stolen.

seborrhic:
If that is to be done,either some politicians would bribe some postal workers to divert the cards or some Nigerians would start laying accusations that their card were not delivered or was cloned,even if it's not true,all in the bid to muddle the electioneering waters
If you are keen enough to vote you should make the effort too to ensure you collect your voters card.Afterall it's at the closest LGA INEC office you choose.
Anything short of physical collection,for now,would set in motion a new series of issues that would lead to the postponement of the election,at least.
The stakes for political office with the wealth,power and influence it bestows on Nigerian office holders is too great that politicians here are ready to do anything to attain office.
Nigerian politicians that can do rituals,including human rituals,what would it take them to simply steal voters card in transit or bribe post office workers to do so for them.

Tianamen1:
Most government officials get their jobs through connections, so they have no incentive to work because their performance has no effect on their promotion. This is why nothing seems to work.

Moh247:
Cost of logistics

Delivery within states cost atleast 1k, inter state cost more

Why do people not drag their governor online?

CoronaVirusRelo:
Now everyone is rushing to get PVC and you still hade the audacity to blame INEC!

Is INEC responsible for your procrastination?

IAMTHEHERO:
I spent whopping 4 hours without collecting my PVC. I have been voting since 2007.. l only did transfer of my voting unit from Lagos ( CBN estate) to Worji..

kpakpankolo:
Thank God they are still alive
democracy is dead this country

“They were arraigned before the Kano State Magistrate Court for defaming the character of Governor Umar Ganduje on their TikTok social media account. When the charges were read to them, they pleaded guilty to the two counts of … defamation of character and inciting public disturbance."

Why can't oil producing states push for total control of oil resources??

Water can't be differentiated from lands. They're the same and belong to the state.

It doesn't belong to the FG hence fg can't dictate to River state. IMO have to carry River state along and get their approval.

Maybe you should go read the history of Urasi and Oguta lake

Supremos:
I didn't make up any lie. Rhine is man-made meaning it was dregded to serve purpose. I still insist Imo isn't Landlocked. Argue with your keyboard

It is no longer correct to assume that Imo State is landlocked because this 93km dredging of the lake to the sea will not just offer an improved security coverage along the coastline

diadem10:
It's what underneath it such as minerals that belongs to fg, not people's land. Sink that into your thieving skull.

diadem10:
You're lame. We all know that land belongs to the people of the state. Water is the same as lands. They can't be separated. In fact, lands are projected out of water. People live in water.

You're the one who's feeling entitled while trying to lord over another people's land. You dey mad? Imagine crying because you were asked to carry River state along? You dey mad?
