Alright. Becuause the way u talk that status quo, I know it is subject to different interpretations. I actually want to read to know how that status quo affects the LG chairmen particularly the loud mouth that claims he won't leave office when his tenure expires.

The court of appeal sat today and has directed that parties should maintain status quo prior to orders of lower court pending the judgment on the 20th.

As it stands, Martins Amaewhule is the speaker of Rivers State and the law extending tenure of local government chairmen stands.

I hear Martins and his fellow Assembly members have done a press conference thanking the court of appeal. cheesy

The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that it did not apologize to the former Governor of Cross Rivers State, Mr. Donald Duke, for erroneous usage of his picture in a documentary on the presidential candidate of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.


The Director of Media and Publicity of the Council, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, in a statement issued Monday clarified that a purported statement currently in circulation credited to him did not originate from him.

He insisted that the campaign council did not issue any statement on behalf of Tinubu to apologize to Duke.

This is the reason I like capitalists, they don't sit around and whyne all day, they enter the ring and tussle it out, legal or illegal..

I also learn this man is about entering the steel industry, see the risks he takes, but when he wins, people say he has gorverment backing and monopoly, why not you go fight to have same monopoly and gorverment backing.. if to say na so e easy ?
Two truths can co-exist.

Dangote is a shrewd businessman who has done well for himself in building a business empire.

Dangote is also like the single businessman in Nigeria's history that has enjoyed the most backing of government u can ever think of.

Dangote like most businessmen prefers monopoly in all the sectors he operates, and he doesn't hide it. When people say he has government backing and monopoly, they not telling lies against him. Below is excerpt from a premium Times editorial which pointed at Dangote's move to monopolize importation of petrol even when he has refinery license. He has already been licensed to operate refinery o, but still wants a kinda monopoly in which only people who own refinery can import petrol ; abi how many companies get refinery license for naija again?

On February 28, the Chief Strategy Officer of Dangote Group, Aliyu Suleiman said that the importation rights for petrol should be awarded only to licensed and active refineries in Nigeria. This demand was in his speech to members of the National Assembly’s Joint committee on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) who paid a visit to the site of the Dangote Refinery, which is under construction, and slated to be soon finished.

Suleiman insisted that any need to supplement shortfalls in the local production of petroleum products, due to maintenance procedures or whatever else, should be legally limited to the companies with active refining licences. This means that they should be the ones to benefit from their own failure to do what they were licensed and partly subsidised to deliver to the marketplace. This idea could also prevent the forces of demand and supply from determining market trends, with imports not being allowed to compete with local supply and hopefully get us a truly competitive pricing regime

You'd rather swallow the vomit of a cancerous woman than admit OBJ was a good president. Simply because the man refused to be a tribalist 😁
Tinubu is the best president since 1999 because he “removed subsidy “ we are still paying till date and floated Naira that has made several multinationals experience foreign exchange loss.

And that’s on periodt! 🙅‍♂️

The point is to do all that's possible to tie him down. The emphasis here is that it won't be a waste especially as I did some calculations. Meaning that I don't mind whether he gets that amount even as a 17yo. Off course it will even be better if he will accept a lesser pay as long as he stays. Then even if we will eventually sell him, we won't lose at all.
There’s nothing , absolutely nothing that warrants the club to to have sleepless night over keeping an amateur player that won’t turn 17 until later this year.

If the boy feels he wants to leave and not ready to take his chances on the bench while on an average salary like players in his age grade, then by all means he should leave .

I don’t buy into all these sentimental attachment to any academy graduate .

Climate change has always been and it’s getting worse. You say Fulani should buy land, land from who? Will people in your village sell land to Fulani? even if you discover Mr Ajayi don sell land to Fulanis for ranch, wont the entire village chase him out?

People whose lifestyle historically do not mix are coming into contact because of survival needs

Its the same way a man will trek from Nicaragua to USA because he wont die in peace in his home country
The bold is so far away from the reality . What do u think causes some of the fights in Places like Plataeu state ? Some of the lands Fulanis occupy today were originally belonging to the indigenous people of those areas ; some of the lands were sold to them while they were allowed to settle on others out of the goodwill of the people .

Stop making it seem as if people hated Fulanis from inception. It is the trouble they forment afterwards that made people start getting wary of allowing them to lease or own lands in their communities . There are many communities across this country including the South west, South east and South south that have enough Fulani settlers.

That is why we are talking of social justice . If u had allowed Fulani settle on ur land in the past and they later go on killing spree when a minor dispute arises , only for government and security forces to side with them ; it is only natural that u do everything possible to do without Fulani occupation in the future .

The combined effect of subsidy removal and floating the Naira is gradually pushing investors out of the market and new investors are even reluctant to jump in. We should stop deceiving ourselves

The root of all these is a fight for scarce resources, there is nothing anyone can do when resources are scarce, we all will fight for it, No one will die in peace if he knows there is something out there. If we are all thirsty and your house is the only place with 25liter water, that is the day your security goes out of the window , Its either you share with us or you never sleep guarding the water, even being awake will not save you at some point

Except those driven by ideology to kill and die in the process, most people just want to survive so the killing must include an escape route for them to live otherwise their crime is just wasted

For example a Fulani man whose land has become barren due to climate change sees a fertile land of farmers with plants and tries to migrate there with his cattle
What do you think is the fair resolution to this problem that will satisfy both parties. Take a shot at it
Long before climate change there has always been issues between the Fulanis and the other major tribes in the Middle belt.

Thank God u mentioned Lekwot earlier today . The Zangon-Kataf crisis in Kaduna state in 1992, after the whole kangaroo trial and sentencing of the Indigenous Kataf people while the Hausa-Fulanis were made sacred cows ; did it show there was any semblance of social justice ? In what world is it fair that the Kataf people who actually defended their people were prosecuted while Hausa-Fulani people the aggressors that instigated the initial mob action were sacred cows? Is that also a climate change issue ?

See once there’s no social justice in a system , more people will embrace crime. Do u know how many number of clashes between southern and northern Kaduna that has happened since the Zangon-Kataf crisis ?

As regards the Fulani and Lands; it has been said over and over again- The world has evolved ! There is no place for open grazing in this modern world . Cattle rearing is a private business not a public enterprise . Let them purchase lands for ranches and stop holding the entire nation to ransom over their private business .

Before insecurity used to be the problem of middle belt, now the far North is almost gone, NW like Zamfara is gone finally, The NE is gone

we are seeing it in SE SW and even deep Delta Maybe the only thing we are waiting for is for these criminals to storm Lagos and MMA before we know we are in total terror

There are guys that cannot travel in peace to their state, I have friends who travel to Nigeria and to go to SE or deep SW, they need Mopol security. The guys living in Naija day to day that cannot afford Mopol so its "Oh Lord I hope..."
All of these things are a result of government failing to find solution to some age-long problems. There’s insincerity on the part of some government agencies and security forces and it led to things going to south .

For example in the middle belt there had always been incidents of Fulani vs Some of the other major tribes like Tiv, Idoma, Junkun, Birom, Taroh, etc. There are instances where several government established reconciliatory committees are inaugurated are out in place and recommendations made at the tail end .

Most times these other tribes always feel they got the short end of the stick when the committee reports are released and even during subsequent crises they see state actors taking sides with the Fulani who seem to have people in the security services . When the people feel their absence of true social justice , they also resort to taking laws into their hands . That is what led to different ethnic groups forming their own militias leading to more proliferation of arms in that region.

In the core north , years of neglect of the largely uneducated and unemployable youth has resulted in some of them resorting to either terrorism or banditry .

These incidents u lumped up together are not one and same and handing each citizen guns won’t solve them . These guys have already attacked military bases, they’ve attacked the Nigerian Army depot, they’ve attacked an airport, train station , etc. Do u think they won’t attack private citizens with guns?

If we refuse to try and address some of the root cause of the problem but hand civilian guns, we will only be making more criminals and putting more lives in danger

The major reason those guys have the guts to attack people like that is because they know there won't be any resistance...even the mere thought of the persons they're attacking being armed is enough to dissuade them. On the flip side, there are several countries where the citizens don't strap like militants yet they don't suffer same fates...fixing the problem of insecurity by democratizing gun usage is like treating the symptoms of a disease instead of the disease itself.
The bold is a very moot point which is invalidated by the spate of bank robberies in Nigeria in recent times . Since around 2014 to this year, we’ve seen a pattern of robbery incidents whereby armed robbers (despite knowing how banks are well guarded) carry out large scale bank robberies .

They literally lit up the nearest police police stations which are well guarded with armed officers, then proceed to sack various banks with heavy shelling. At least this has happened in Kogi state multiple times , Ekiti state multiple times, Benue state , Offa Kwara state, etc to mention a few .

The robbers are aware of the level of resistance that the security agents in the banks and even the first responders can pose and they plan well ahead for it.

That should tell u that u having a gun to fight back won’t stop the criminal , but it will only make him more vicious in his attacks . One of my bosses used to say “ U can’t predict the mind of a criminal “. U can’t sit down as a law abiding citizen and start saying maybe if u do this( like carrying a gun on u) , the criminal will not attack u.

The kidnappers are not ready to die that is why they collect ransom, dead men dont spend ransom. Criminals are different from Terrorists. Terrorists are ready to die, criminals want to enjoy life after their actions

When he shoots at your vehicle, the motive is to stop people not to kill everyone, if he shoots and kill everyone then who will pay him ransom or what does he gain? just to see blood?

Kidnappers do it for a reward and only people alive can pay that reward
They didn’t need everybody alive . They shoot at as many vehicles as possible ; some people will get injured in the shootings while others will die .

It is the few that survive that they collect ransom from. They don’t mind to kill some of the hostages , u read where the guy mentioned how they are willing to kill anybody that slows them down or gives them problem .

Carrying gun will never solve the problem 👎

People will die including the kidnappers and they don't want that, they want the monopoly of terror, they want to kill and not be harmed
The kidnappers know they can die the moment they chose the criminal way of life ; same can’t be said for other law abiding citizens who are their victims .
