This is the reason for my response once i heard the Chagourys were involved in the road contract.

Abacha by being military was an illegitimate govt. The first thing any military junta does is to suspend the constitution, So the Abacha regime was unconstitutional. So that was the main thing Tinubu Onanuga etc fought for which was to return the governance of the country to civilian rule and end the illegitimate military govt

Secondly I doubt this times are tougher than Abacha times whether economically or socially. Economically was when sawdust cooking took over, when ASUU went on strike and Abacha fired all lecturers, when critics of govt like Ken Saro Wiwa, Kudirat, Rewane, Omatsola etc were not just called uncouth languages like Sons of bitches but they were hunted down and killed,
Even arguing in Newspaper stands against govt can get you locked up.
So much that commonwealth expelled the country
That didnt stop Abacha from stuffing money in overseas banks that we are still cashing out 25yrs after his death

I dont blame the NLC chairman though, when the chairman see him lavishing money anyhow at a period of "austerity" and asking the citizens to endure, the union are well within their right to demand for a living wage.

Our politicians are not sincere, you cant keep asking the citizens to endure while you are lavishing the little you say is available.

You say you can't pay 150k as minimum wage but you want to spend billions on frivolities. Even if the billions you want to spend on frivolities will not be enough to cater for the 150k minimum wage, common sense dictates that you dont portray the govt as insensitive and callous.

raumdeuter:
That is the difference between reality and hypothesis. Ajaero dem dey call for 500K minimum wage, I am 100% certain if he is made Edo state governor today, he wont pay above 120K
Just like every employee thinks the employer should be paying more, working them less.
Like someone said, we all grew up and became the no nonsense managers, strict parents, wicked seniors, unromantic spouse, unreasonable lecturers, uncool egbons
Everything we criticized when we dey the other side. Just like spectators dey all sabi play pass Messi until dem enter field
When you are outside you can talk about ideals, when you get inside you know whats up

Remember that girl that was beaten by naval ratings and it was filmed?

The admiral was retired, but it turns out the victim was the daughter of an army general. Otherwise it would have been business as usual

The problem in Nigeria is no consequences. Any idiot In a government agency is a tin god.

In a statement released on Friday and shared with FIJ, NBA said Awoke was released from custody alongside one Onyiba Emmanuel Chinonso, a computer science student at Ebonyi State University.

“I am pleased to inform you that I have, today, 21 June 2024, secured the release of our colleague, Pius 1. Awoke, Esq of Abakaliki Branch from the custody of the Department of State Security (DSS). He was released alongside one Onyiba Emmanuel Chinonso, a computer science student of Ebonyi State University, who was arrested and detained with Mr. Awoke,” the NBA statement reads in part.

FIJ reported on May 23 that Awoke, who was arrested by the DSS while traveling from Ebonyi to Abuja on July 21, was still being held. A source had revealed that the agency refused to charge him in court or grant him bail as prescribed by the constitution.

“[b]Awoke was travelling from Ebonyi to Abuja when officials of the DSS stopped his commercial vehicle and arrested him. They arrested all the men who were on the bus, including him, thinking they were of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) sect,” [/b]the source told FIJ.

If you'll excuse my language, they have no problem fking 10 year Olds in the North so I don't expect them to have any problem sentencing them to death.

GloriousGbola:
The way blueray quote this law I know he has had one 12 year old prosecuted for throwing stones at his car

GloriousGbola:
By law they are juveniles. What they need is some scared straight roughhandling that may shake those who are doing follow follow out of it. This assumes they have not actually been in any crimes like rape or aggravated assault though

Theflint1:
This is solid, looks like it's targeted at students of tertiary institutions...what of secondary school cultists?

GloriousGbola:
It is always different on the other side. Small time you will be doing some of the things as a parent that your dad did which pissed you off.

As employer of labour you will focus on business profitability and survival first. Your unionism go enter toilet

Though for a former journalist onanuga should be able to brush off insults or at least clap back with style. Or he should leave the twittering to underlings

Theflint1:
Taiwo Awoniyi is 27 later this year, I doubt that guy comot even 1 year from e age...na fresh secondary school student when e go u-17.

Theflint1:
Though I agree there needs be toughness on cultism, I really don't know about maximum sentencing, especially since recruitment into cultism can come through coercion in some cases and some of these cultists are secondary school kids...prison population is also something to be considered when deciding on maximum sentencing.

liveLongNprospa:
When bayo onanuga was editor in chief😁

Theflint1:
Like ehn 😊

Theflint1:
But this isn't news na, have heard this talk since Buhari's era, maybe Fisayo just decided to go down the rabbit hole so the facts of it can't be denied.

Theflint1:
Yes o, na two lawyers, but AI has extensive experience in finance/energy, plus his first degree was actually economics so I don't think the team is as narrow as it looks on first glance.

Yea, AI has been around for a while, and probably na establishment person, but he's the best on the ballot, so na just to hope say the man come good.

Really don't know what the guy can do regarding cultism sha, cause it's almost like a culture at this point, like pikin fit just go drink with friends next thing dem don run small bamming tell am make e dey fly color. Engaging with relevant stakeholders and allowing the law take it's place with persons that violate whatever agreements might be a way to go...until a more permanent solution, but make we dey see sha.

The implication of this thing runs wild . It simply means none of us is safe .

Anybody can buy ur NIN details , use it to run a criminal parole and later law enforcement will be looking for u instead of the criminals .

For example they can buy my NIN details , use it to register MTN sim. Later when they kidnap someone they use the line to call for ransom payment . If police decide to check MTN’s record for who the line was registered to, they will just see my details and assume I’m the criminal when in fact I don’t even know a line was registered with my details.

Chai!

Who do we blame for this now ? Is it Pantami? Bosun ? Or the staff of NIMC both past and current ?

Theflint1:
I neva see Naija player wey dey give pure good vibes like Taiwo Awoniyi, no surprise he comes from a close knit nuclear family.

Godstime001:
Yeah seems I know the guy channel. What you said is true, maybe it can be reduced. But the problem is I don't think any serious candidate would use it to campaign. Because these cults in Benin are the one that would deliver the polling units for u.

Godstime001:
I doubt cultism can end in Benin. Is like a culture . U would even be surprise some senior men Wey person dey look up to as mentor self dey game.

Oshom first tenure was d best u can think of regarding gov in Edo..

He did marvelously well(Nigeria politician's rating)..so any body throwing him off the boat easily is not sincere......

Edo just like Nigeria is deeply rooted in PDAPC and would require a strong wave (Obi's) 4 a major shake. .

As it stands now,no candidate possesses Obi's aura...so it still APC vs PDP.....

Baba you must play like all the other companies are playing.

Last last beg the FG to ramp up production because nobody get spare oil to dash you.

IOC have their own contracts they must fulfil with that oil quota.

Amigoss:
Seem prepared for the task ahead , this phrase dey give me ptsd, same thing was said about Tinubu and how he is strategizing and mapping out plans because he has been preparing for presidency for a long long time but he has had the most disastrous first year tenure ever.....


This is it, Perhaps if obaseki never had issues with Oshiomole, they'd all still be in Apc together today and flint wouldnt reason him because he is an Apc man...

I dont know why he is giving osho big ups,We all know oshiomole failed in the state and because his predecessor igbinedion dropped the bar so low doesnt mean the bare minimum will be accepted and him being part of the economic team made it worst....The reason the state is not high in poverty index is because of black tax like this shown in this stat and not cos of any govt intervention or good economic policies, it is the reason bad vices like yahoo are high in the states...Make him, Obaseki and oshi go look bush, we wan try new party and not PDAPC again....
