bobntu: If truly PHCN was privatised, how come this is possible? How come bank workers and staff of other serious private organizations don't go on strike? What's the business of the new owners of the DISCOs with previous employees of PHCN owed by government? Why should private company employees be made to fight on issues concerning a defunct failed government institution? Are private universities staff on strike in support of their colleagues in public universities? Should the entrepreneurs that invested in the power sector now regret absorbing retrenched staff of PHCN? Are the leaders in government suffering the effect of this outage (when their generators could run till next year at public expense)? What exactly is this action supposed to achieve? Who will bear the brunt (rulers of masses)? Abeg, who do us strong thing like dis?
Munamoqel: Wil not engage you in diagression .Law are not casted in stone Law are man made to suit his society and development needs
Don't argue with analogies. Does the law say this is treasonable or not. Its a simple yes or no question. You guys start spouting childish emotional nonsense then run as soon as its time to defend your arguments. Your government got you into this mess with their interventions now you're mad they won't work after not being paid.
If you disagree cite the law. I gave you the solution to these issues. You can simply tell the government to stop messing with the market. They are source of these issues. Lol who took your tax naira and gave it to these private businesses?
BTW genius is it Treasonable not to pay knowing they'll working? They aren't slaves afterall and not doing so harms economy as you pointed out.
Munamoqel: How can a union shut down power in a Nation struggling to revive it economic .it cost billions in lost production and growth! This is treasonable and should be treated as such . Tax payer money used to build power plant then one idiot called Union will have power to shut it down no way .
You clearly don't know what Treason means. If you're so angry instead of sending them to jail simply fire them and ban them from the civil service if they work for you. Lastly pay them what ever you owe them or let them set prices instead setting price controls. In the future if they want more money then they'll have to face their customers like every other producer does.
But transmission wasn't privatized from what I understand. Weirdos hate responsibility but want power. Watch spider man with great power comes great responsibility.
Racoon: Dully arrested with an "arrest warrant" by forcefully bundling someone into a waiting van over non payment of refuse collection levy? What kind of country is this for goodness sake?
Perhaps these officials don't think about the implication of this foolish approach to enforce compliance.
Lol taxes aren't optional thats why its silly when weirdos praise their politicians for doing their duty. If you dont pay they throw you in cage. Anyway explain the proper procedure to arresting tax evaders.
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has warned that the nation’s skyrocketing brain drain wave may culminate in the country resorting to hiring medical doctors to treat local patients in the future.
Lol that would be hilarious. When you refuse to pay local talent you have either pay extra or find doctors from a poorer country that want to immigrate. Both scenarios sound weird but ok we'll see.
Whens the last time any governors signed a death warrant? They currently have death row inmates they refused to execute. Too many people are impressed by talk instead of actions.
Dearlord: Which job is well done? How many pirates do we have in Nigeria? Most of the pirates are old and nobody intend to venture into it because of it non profit at present.
Lol you're like your president not aware. The gulf of guinea and Nigerian waters in particular were some of the most dangerous waters for kidnappings and cargo theft. Its been an issue for years. Here's a map from 2020 the economist published. After all these years sea piracy no longer profitable interesting.
sunny1703: So who is stealing the crude? Abi na spirit? Political pirates.
As far as I know the crude being siphoned from the pipes on land. Is that where the bunkering usually occurs? You know its not pirates robbing millions of gallons off oil ships.
2. He is a wanted fugitive using a fake passport to hide his real identity
3. He dealt in nefarious narcotic dealings
They should keep him for the next 20ys
By the time he returns, Biafra will be waiting for him and that isn't a good thing either.
Lol who wants to waste money feeding him. This is why I said if they're smart they would send him back to Nigeria to serve sentence. Nigeria already agreed with UK to do such.
The story is crazy on so many levels. If they're smart they'd just deport him immediately. The guys an illegal alien dealing drugs and making fake passport. Ask Nigeria to imprison him there.
It's stuff like this that make me wish NBS published crime stats with ethnic background of offenders and victims. It would be hilarious and enlightening. Everyone pretty much knows which crimes are generally committed by each demographic but stats to back it up always nice.
America does it and you find out crazy stats you wouldn't suspect.
shogsman: slowpoke,so it is blacks that does the crimes and have a culture problem whereas,98% of mass shootings in the USA are done by white people. You're as stupid as you're ignorant
Black made up half the overall murder perpetrators so yes they do have a culture problem. Do you want the stats. Mass murders make up small percentage of overall crime and murders. Most are random gang related killings in big cities like Chicago. Lol I'm ignorant yet post fake stats you quicky Google without understanding context..
shogsman: Idiot answer my question,why do we have tens of thousands of murders and mass shootings yearly even though we spend almost 2 times Nigeria's gdp of defense yearly in the US.
Mumu you didn't ask me a question in the first response. You ran around citing fake stats and misrepresenting stats you dont understand. Now that you've been exposed for you lies you want to change the subject. To answer your question Americans are violent, there's a culture problem especially with fathers black Americans who make up half the murders despite being a minority of the population. Money can't solve these sort of issues.
shogsman: Alas you are Just some dumbass Ignoramus,30k murders and 40k murders what damn difference does it make you tool There were over 40k deaths in 2018 alone sef, I'd know because I fvcking live there
Homicide and death aren't the same thing mumu. You said murders which are homicides. Deaths include accidents and suicides.
shogsman: USA recorded 42,000 murders last year over 70,000 car jacking, 1000 mass murder I guess the police and defence units in the country are not doing Thier job too right.
Lol what a liar. Cite your stats or shut up. The crime stats for 2021 haven't even been released and its no where near 42k. It was 2020 crime stats were under 25k FYI.
ThrownBack: God bless you, these soldiers thinks they are God that preserve people's lives.
Where were soldiers in pre colonial Nigeria, didn't we defend our lands with efficiency?
These weirdos just want everyone to join their cult of state worship. Its pathetic and foolish when we know of many examples of their utter failure and criminality. The BBC documentary shows if people were allowed to defend themselves against these criminals they would with ruthless efficiency as you stated. They aren't allowed to hence why they at mercy criminals. The soldiers aren't there for 48hrs while they're being killed, robbed and raped.
shogsman: Without soldiers know that you and your family would have probably been erased from this Earth,not only will terrorism trend in every nook and cranny of this country bandits, kidnappers,armed robbers will have a field day with all of you. So for once in your sad life be grateful. 99% of so called youths always mouthing on social media are not brave enough to go into the bush and fight terrorists
Lol without the soldiers the sun wouldn't rise and rain wouldn't fall either. If they were around people would buy their own Aks and defend themselves. Which they should already be allowed to do so. Lol they're around yet you see terrorism and massive violent crime wave. Lol after knowing all these fact you expect people to get on their knees and worship these guys.
Lol ASUU essentially admitted the students aren't their primary customers. Your fees mean next to nothing to them. It's they government tax dollars they're after.
Lol this is the exact problem with Universities in a nutshell. They students aren't their primary customer. Its the daddy government because the student pay chump change and they will just shake down the tax payers.
If only there was some apolitical way to objectively view policy (see list of books below).
I only read one if the books partially. Basic economics is pretty good. Thomas Sowell writings are always interesting. I have listened to his other books like conquest and culture via audible.
Mockery and ridicule are perfectly acceptable. Logical arguments fall flat but if it's phrase as a joke suddenly it lands perfectly. Nobody insulted for being old but because they're behaving in foolish manner. I do think you should just make the appeal to reason first. Then employ mockery and ridicule if they fire the first shock.
KanoFirstSon: Same thing I have been saying. Biafra women do not train their male children to be upright in the society they leave them to concentrate on the girls and that’s why igbo gals are more behaved than igbo guys.
Have you ever looked into criminality? Females are almost always less likely to be into criminality. Its mostly males that do risky behavior hence why prison population is higher for males. Its mix of genetics differences between sexes and parenting you mentioned. I doubt with added parents criminality will be lower with males than females.
Nigerians like either blaming foreigners or pretending crime only comes from the people they already have animosity with. This why I always suggest the crime stats if they ever get released again give demographics information like tribe. This article should have listed alleged gunmans names and give pictures. Have any been arrested or killed?
Blue3k: The issue is even worse when you observe the published crime stats are always lazily done. The stats only report aggregate crimes instead of doing it by per capita basis. Doing it this way doesn't factor in population which why crime stats are supposed to reported on a per 100k basis. The last measure the NBS could improve is actually reporting victimization rates by tribe, perpetrator by tribe, and if they're foreigners. Reporting race is pretty common in a lot of countries but since 99.9 of Nigerians are same race that would be pointless.
