Mexico is going to get so much economic productivity from these illegal aliens according their sympathizers. I'm sure their countries of origin are excited to have them back soon. America is doing good by returning these people back.

1Alex:
I decided to do some research and realized he is the guy.

I checked his profile on Nairaland I discovered he was last seen on the 21st of November 2024.

I checked when he was arrested, I saw the same date. It means he no longer has access to his phone after his arrest that's why he hasn't been seen on Nairaland since then.

Make the f00lish boy rest small.

That's pretty interesting. I'm sure the police would be interested if the can trace the IP to Findland. Clout is a powerful drug.

Go get a copy of the book Animal Farm by George Orwell.

George Orwell is a pen name. Meaning it is not the true name of the author of best selling novel at the time.

He chose a different name to protect himself from political harassment and arrest and possible death.

The novel which was about Russsia clearly depict the political situation in Nigeria from the 80s.

Can you name the parallels?

Good police work NPF. 👏 get some convictions.

If he wanted to "harvest his organs", the best place to do it is Nigeria and not
the UK public NHS under government scrutiny.

That is what happened when you take sentiment out of it.

Lol you're ignoring the fact organ harvesting isn't legal in Nigeria either. If there's a legal alternative just take it unless being a criminal is just more exciting. If they really cared about their daughter they would have opted for Iran instead of the UK.

budaatum:
"Does organ transplant legally", does not mean you can legally buy human organs!

He's too dense to understand the obvious. The liar was told multiple times its illegal to buy organs in the UK. Then he proceeds to make up new lies when cornered.

Softmirror:
She will get organ for free from U.K so why Iran. Mumu.

She didn't get the organ for free senseless liar. This is why she was found guilty for trafficking charge. If she went to Iran the transaction would be perfectly legal.

Ike Ekweremadu, 60, a former deputy president of the Nigerian senate, his wife, Beatrice, 56, and Dr Obinna Obeta, 51, were found guilty of facilitating the travel of a young man to Britain with a view to his exploitation after a six-week trial at the Old Bailey.

They criminally conspired to bring the 21-year-old Lagos street trader to London to exploit him for his kidney, the jury found.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been offered an illegal reward to become a donor for the senator’s daughter after kidney disease forced her to drop out of a master’s degree in film at Newcastle University, the court heard. Sonia Ekweremadu was found not guilty.

Lol you think you are talking to an illiterate. You don't have sense. In the U.K does organ transplant legally. See what you posted mumu.

You're dense if dont understand the laws. She went to jail for attempting to purchase organs. If she went Iran her transaction would be perfectly legal under their laws. This why you go to Iran not to the UK. This why your questions are stupid you senseless liar.

Softmirror:
You can buy organs legally in U.K. Why Iran?

Softmirror:
You can buy organs legally in U.K. Why Iran?

You're a shameless liar.

Softmirror:
Blue3k, budaatum i was only looking for trouble yesterday. Good morning and have a great day. 🤗
It is illegal to buy or sell organs in the U.K but you can get it for free if you are eligible.

Correction he's a troll 🧌. The truth has been admitted. Have a good day.

Softmirror:
Why Iran. The could do same in U.K. the have the money.

You're saying this knowing the went to prison for their actions. It's legal to buy organs in Iran not the UK or Nigeria.

Bump

budaatum:
She literally took one of their son's to UK to harvest his organs for her own daughter and they are jubilating she's returned.

Yeah she's ignorant. She should have went to Iran to harvest the organs legally. They had all the money but no sense to save their daughter.

Tsarbomba:
Let's assume a hypothetical scenario where Egypt and Nigeria engage in a war. Considering their military strengths, economies, and geographical advantages, who do you think would emerge victorious?


Share your thoughts!

It depends who pays defense. Nigeria can't project force outside of its territory. We saw this during Niger Republic's coup.

Wizkid. I can get royalty check for doing an adlib. Wizkid will do most of the work.

Divorce your husband and marry a Nigerian.

Or

Just get naturalized.

A chicken is worry half a month minimum wage? I see why you guys can't sell them.

Wallade:
How is the USA 🇺🇸 plagued by these migrants?

The USA that you see today had a significant contribution to nation building by migrants, including the undocumented ones too.

They're so significant to nation building but they don't want them back. They should be happy the brain drain is being reversed.

what are the 3 things and which area has Nigeria failed preventing the Country from taking her place on the World stage.

1. The Rule of law making business harder to conduct. (Nigeria is opting for decentralized security)
2. Government regulations making business harder to conduct. (Nigeria is moving items out of exclusive list)
3. Government subsidies and bloated bureaucracy. (Example: University strikes at federal schools because they wont raise prices to pay for education)

“When you go to other countries like Rwanda, South Africa, or even the United States, their internal security department carries out these tasks. They provide security for cash on transit; their regular police are not involved.

“They provide security for shops, stores and businesses and are even licensed to carry arms like pistols and shotguns. When that happens, it creates room for the police and the military to do their core duties.

NASS and Nigerians in general hate market based solutions. They'll cry about lack of jobs but won't open up new sectors of employment. Allow private security to carry arms then you can ban VIP escorts for good. People would rather run in circles with this issue. Be ready to congratulate the next IGP for ending vip escorts.

Amid the security concerns nationwide, officers of the Nigerian police are fast shifting attention from general to selective protection of high-profile individuals and Very Important Persons (VIPs) that can afford a fee, BERTRAM NWANNEKANMA reports.

With concerns over the safety of lives and properties unabating nationwide, the escort business is fast assuming a new dimension, with men of the Nigerian Police Force becoming active players.

As evident during the peak of the festive season, these officers routinely escort trucks and lorries laden with goods and accompany high-profile individuals, Very Important Persons (VIPs) and everyone who can afford a fee.

These security ‘attaché’ are regulars in traffic, the marketplace, and all public functions, sometimes creating logistics nightmares and nuisances at functions of multiple VIPs.

Another common trend is to find them among the Nigerians Diaspora visiting their hometowns and cities in Nigeria.

Some netizens lamented that the situation was annoying last December when everybody from abroad was accompanied by two Hilux vehicles with escorts to protect them from Nigerian Police and other agencies that mount highway checkpoints!

According to Danny @ajeboDanny, “The number of convoy escorts on Lagos Island was crazy !! Like every turn on the island is waan waan waan waaan waan you go just dey hear.”

Another netizen said he recently spent about N900,000 hiring a police escort during his trips to and fro Owerri from Port Harcourt.

“I didn’t do that because of robbers or kidnappers, but to pay police to protect me from the police on the road.

“Nigeria is where you hire a police escort to prevent you from harassment by the police. You will think N900,000 is a lot. Till the first one stops you, weighs you properly and radio others in front, and you end up putting your family and friends in financial danger,” he added.

Another one said that police escorts are not responsible for the provision of Hilux, as there are agents who are responsible for that.

These agents, he said, also have links with the police escorts and can secure the deals, especially for Diasporan Nigerians returning home for the Yuletide.

While the ‘business’ goes one, other Nigerians in need of protection rarely get it despite the Federal Government spending at least N131 billion yearly on salaries for these police officers designated as escorts.

The Guardian investigation revealed that these escorts are mainly drawn from the ranks of Corporals, Sergeants and Inspectors.

The Police Service Commission, in a most recently published report, stated that more than 150,000 police officers were attached to VIPs and unauthorised persons in the country, out of the 400,000 police officers presently in service. However, insiders said there could be more, considering the increasing cases of insecurity in the country.

Subsidising security services for the politically exposed minority leaves the vast populace unprotected and constitutes an unfair utilisation of taxes paid by many Nigerians.

A senior officer affirmed that in some cases, Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) and even Deputy Superintendents of Police are seconded as heads of escorts for politically exposed persons, like high-ranking senators and governors.

According to the officer, the practice is rare but is considered and cherished by officers involved because of its allure.

With policing seemingly outsourced and at the instance of the highest bidders, there are concerns about the government performing its constitutional function of protecting lives and properties.

According to the United Nations’ recommended ratio, one police officer should be assigned to every 450 people for effective policing. Nigeria, with a population estimated at 206,139,589, would thus require an average of 2.5 million officers nationwide.

This shortfall is not farfetched as the Nigeria Police Force is understaffed and inadequately funded.

However, in the face of this glaring dearth, the Nigeria Police personnel are shared among the VVIP (politicians), VIP, the middle class and the moneybags, leaving a negligible proportion for the poor populace.

But this service is rarely free of charge. A top police source said proceeds from this transaction sometimes go directly to top officers in the Force. The Guardian further learnt that in some instances, both the Squadron Commanders of PMF and O/Cs of SPU prosecute this deal without the knowledge of their respective Commissioners of Police (CPs).

The patrons pay heavily for this. Depending on the number of personnel assigned to these people, each pays as much as between N3 million and N5 million, depending on the duration of service.
A security operative, who pleaded anonymity, said, unfortunately, some of these patrons may have skeletons in their cupboards. Still, they sail through all checkpoints to their destinations because of the armed personnel attached to them on escort duty.

Speaking on the issue, a retired Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr Solomon Arase, said assigning police personnel to politicians and VIPs was not originally in the Nigeria Police Force Act.

He noted that patrons manoeuvre their way through the leadership of the Police to get escorts.

According to him, it is an aberration to assign a large chunk of Police personnel to individuals and the so-called VIPs.

“Originally, there was nothing like assigning Police personnel to these people, but you know, they have a way of manoeuvring their way to get it.

“Look at the National Assembly, for instance; over 109 Police personnel are detailed there; by the time you add those attached to individual politicians and their wards, you will realise that security in this country is for the elites at the expense of the common man.

“Unfortunately, this is even as we cry that the police are understaffed. Don’t forget that releasing these personnel to the politicians and VIPs is not free. So, the beat goes on,” he added.

Responding, the Director-General of the Nigeria Institute of Industrial Security, Dr Wilson Esangbedo, downplayed the IGP’s position, even as he lamented that one-third of the police are unavailable due to escort jobs.

He noted that the first thing every IGP does upon assuming office is to withdraw police escorts from VIPs, but once they are under pressure from politicians, they release them back to the VIPs.   He stressed that this has been a disturbing trend in the country and has increased insecurity.

Esangbedo said the best line of defence for any country is private, community-based or internal security mechanisms.

“When you go to other countries like Rwanda, South Africa, or even the United States, their internal security department carries out these tasks. They provide security for cash on transit; their regular police are not involved.

“They provide security for shops, stores and businesses and are even licensed to carry arms like pistols and shotguns. When that happens, it creates room for the police and the military to do their core duties.

Meanwhile, stealing alone does not attract capital punishment but stealing with arms is what attracts capital punishment. He was sentenced to death because they claimed he was armed to rob.

He was convicted of robbery because the prosecution proved he was armed in a court of law. They presented the weapon to the judge in court. You guys don't believe anything unless it was filmed in 4k and DNA evidence is left on scene.

ufotunang:
.. what about those politicians that have looted and embezzled billions of naira..their presecution or punishment does not carry a capital punishment .. there are even many of them walking freely enjoying their loot and looted money.. police, EFCC and court are even afraid of presecuting them...

Yeah, stealing doesn't carry capital punishment. Do you believe stealing should also carry a capital punishment? Or do you believe robbery shouldn't be a capital punishmen? tI don't believe robbery should carry a capital punishment stiff jail sentences are enough.

Jangbajantis:
Does one need to use a weapon to rob steal a chicken? Na wa o!

One can steal without a weapon like the politicians. Segun Olowookere chose to robbery to obtain the chicken. That's why he was convicted for robbery.

Jangbajantis:
So he went to rob a chicken with an Ak-47 then?

No it wasn't an Ak-47. It doesn't matter if it was a knife, sword, club or gun. Any deadly weapon make it a robbery.

TimeManager:
It is a uniform curriculum, both state & federal uses same curriculum.

-Kiss the truth!

Doesn't matter the federal government says the minimum standards not the maximum. That's what the constitution says. You guys just like arguing blindly.

60. The establishment and regulation of authorities for the Federation or any par thereof -

(e) To prescribe minimum standards of education at all levels.

Stealing or robbery? Why is it so hard to report this story correctly? If you guys believe robbery shouldn't carry a capital punishment that's fine. Just don't lie about the nature of the crime.

Xisnin:
How many times will you guys order the same thing?
https://guardian.ng/news/buhari-orders-teaching-of-history-as-standalone-subject/

It's the weirdest thing. People act like they don't remember these declarations.

Dalohad:
Hope the history subjects will not be dictated by some revisionists forces who may decide to hide bitter facts by regulating what can be taught and what cannot?

If they decide to hide the facts what's stopping states from adding to the curriculum? The federal government never stopped any state from paying for history teachers anyway.

1999 constitution exclusive list:

60. The establishment and regulation of authorities for the Federation or any par thereof -

(e) To prescribe minimum standards of education at all levels.

I wonder if they'll abandon the CFA currency.
