Wait, after each call, the sim is disposed?

Cos if not, the location of the caller can be tracked.

These people are not just ready to fight terrorism in this country.

I read sometime ago that IMEI number can actually be used to track a call .

So ideally our security agents should still be able to track the location of kidnappers with phone IMEI number even if they register their lines with 6 year old alamajiri details

I read Iheneacho and Sadie Ahmad arrived camp today at 4.am. I hope the coach would not go ahead and start Iheneacho in today’s game by 3pm with no prior training with the team based on senior man levels o

It is doable. The reason the telcos are not doing this is because they make money from all users properly or improperly registered without any penalties.

If the FG starts imposing fine for every improperly registered sim card on their networks, they will sit up immediately.

Exactly! Overtime I've discovered that nothing is actulally not doable in the busines world, it's just the motivation/reward attached to it that matters

[color=royalblue]People that recharge 100 naira is who you want to impose verification charge on?

Are you even aware that in the core villages, there is no address; No street or number...
Umuaku autonomous community, opposite Ichie Dike's compound. How is this address beneficial?

And lastly, you have been to the North. You know how many hours it takes within a state to move from point A to point B. How will Telcos fund that process?

Make dem spend 10k to verify house. Who go come pay the money?[/color]

They will use people who reside in those LGA's to verify the addresses. Yes I've been to the north and I know houses are not numbered but there are landmarks. I know Northerners use "angwa church", "angwa makaranta"..etc meaning "church area", "school area" to identify the closes landmark to a person's home. These things narrow down things for security agencies.

Nobody reccharges N100 all year long na, u will always need to recharge to make calls or keep ur line active. This 2024 not 2004, even northerners in the remotest part of the north call their loved ones and they need airtime to make those calls.

If the government places the responsibility on telecos to be responsible for this address verification of their suscribers, trust me they will surely figure things out. Telecos have invested so much in their business operation Nigeria to let their business suffer because they cannot proffer solution that minimal challenge

izzou:
[color=royalblue]How do you verify an address as a telco?

Banks can afford to verify anything, afterall, you are paying for it. You have to pay 11k in your account, for your business account documents to be verified. Also, Children cannot open accounts on their own, except through their parents

But for telcos, every umbrella on the street is registering SIM cards per hour. From kids to adults, all are eligible. There are also no supporting documents to verify anything when buying a SIM. Just NIN number, wey dem don dey run sef.

Omoh! That NIN stuff is like a failed project in terms of security[/color]

U are making my point for me bro. Something has to give, the government needs to go tough; if it involves parents using their details to register for wards who are minor then so be it. We need to stop handling these things with kid gloves.

If it comes to FG mandating telecos to verify address of subscribers at a cost that will be later dedcucted from the subscriber's account balance, then so be it! Nothing is impossible. See the N50 stamp duty banks are dedcuting, whether u like it or not u must pay. Na auto debit.

If government can impose stuff like stamp duty on bank account holders and yearly proof of ownership fee on car owners just for the sake of driving government revenue, what stops government from imposing cost of verifying telecos subscribers address on subscribers just for their own safety?

On the contrary, the nature of Nigeria and corruption from multiple quarters makes kidnapping low risk high return

One literally reads different stories where an entire village or community is providing support services for kidnappers.

Or of police and soldiers collecting their cut from people going to deliver the ransom.

There are multiple ways for motivated security agencies to catch these bastards

Kidnapping is not as easy as it seems . Those kidnappers would need to plan the terrain they use , the means of collecting ransom and even hope their victims families will cooperate .

U don’t even know if the police or soldier u are settling is not being investigated to lead them to u.

Itsrm:
El Rufai claims they(security agents) know where the kidnappers are. They even listen to their conversation

He said the security agents are always reluctant to attack them because they will use the hostages as human shield and its almost impossible to kill them without killing the people you aim to rescue.

He was of the opinion that they should be bombed alongside the victims so we get rid of them once and for all but there's only so much he can do.

Elrufai will never support his kidnapped family member being bombed with kidnappers . Elrufai lost a child back then and I watched on TV how emotionally wrecked he looked when people paid him condolence visits .

All these extreme solutions are easy to proffer when u and ur loved ones are not involved .

We need to go to the root cause of kidnapping to be able to solve kidnapping challenge

izzou:
[color=royalblue]People register SIM cards with the faces of Children...

I mean Almajiri Children wey no get house.

So, imagine a ransom call was made from Sokoto/Gusau expressway, and then while tracking, the number is owned by a 6 year old girl in Ozubulu, Anambra.

As a policeman, will you waste your resources to Anambra, to find the girl?

These things are not easy. Nigerians have defeated the aim of NIN and all that.[/color]

If this is the case , then we need to rejig our security architecture . There needs to be collaboration between the security agencies and telecos.

I think telecos should do better , they should verify addresses used for registering SIM cards. Banks do this . I opened a bank account late last year and my bank held my funds because there was a slight error in the address I filled while filling the account opening form. I rectified the address and they verified the address before lifting PND on the account .

Security needs to be taken serious in this country , except the government want to use overlooking of security issues to reduce population of this country

Itsrm:
People are donating money for the kidnappers on twitter.

Sometimes I wonder if the solution to kidnapping is to allow this kidnappers do their worst. When they end up killing the remaining family members, what other leverage do they have?

Maybe the reason the "business" keeps booming is because people keep paying them ransom. I know it's easier said that done because I will also pay if anyone close to me gets kidnapped.

The solution is for the security agencies to up the ante and also for the government to make the country prosperous so that less people will find crime like kidnapping enticing .

Kidnapping is a crime that involves a whole lot of risk which people would not ordinarily not want to take .if the economic situation gets better , I believe less people would want to be be bandits/kidnappers

Security agents too need to do better . If person insult government officials our security agents will know how to track such person down , but kidnappers would be making calls with Nigerian SIM cards to their victim’s family and somehow they can’t track them down. 🤦‍♂️

I don't subscribe to this model talk abeg. If you're good, you're good. Which model did Mbappe looked up to in his breakout year Monaco? Who are these models you want us to replace abeg?

U dey mind them? If Arsenal had won the league last season with Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard , Saliba and Nketiah being the keymen ; will anybody come here and be talking about one yeye model ?

Why did Emery that kept senior men like Auba , Lacazette , etc not win the league or even qualify for champions league ?

GloriousGbola:
Commissioning ceremonies often come with peculiar optics / politics, especially projects that may never be 100% completed.

It is why we have terms like practical completion, first phase etc

As an example in 2002/3 adenuga wanted his building on adeola odeku commissioned on October 1 or Glo anniversary. I forget which. The building was not ready. But everyone ran around and ensured parts of the building were presentable for the ceremony. Sha don't look behind the curtain please. As people exit, workers moved back in.

Because the refinery is a multi product refinery, it may be another 6 months before it is producing petrol and another 6 months again before it is producing the other products. What is the hold point for commissioning?

Started operations? 100% operational?

On top of this dangote must have been under immense pressure from his creditors to start operations so the billion dollar debts can be serviced. Everyone was invested in the refinerys success or failure one way or another.

All u have explained is : BUHARI COMPLETED AN UNCOMPLETED DANGOTE REFINERY !

The reason is just political optics and nothing more . Ambode did it with some of his projects in Lagos

The truth is Dangote group has been very dishonest with the information they kept churning out concerning the start date of the refinery . Nobody forced them to keep giving unrealistic dates as start date for the refinery (Maybe the APC led FG under Buhari did force them, I don’t know but I certainly know none of the public members did ).

If people had doubts about the refinery producing this year, know that it was Dangote group that caused the doubt in their minds .

Attached is a naira metrics article showing that the Dangote group promised July 2023 as the date the first fuel from the refinery would hit the market . Here we are 8 months after expecting the first fuel to hit the market soon.

Kyle Walker is a funny dude

His wife is expecting her 4th child from him while his a sidechick is expecting her 2nd child from him

He's not even with the sidechick, nigga just scoring goals on a cheap fück on a girl he don't even like. Now he had to buy his sidechick a £2m house. His now wife meanwhile used the news of his first child with his sidechick to force him into marriage two years ago, and now she has perfect grounds for divorce and half his mullah. She has already hired top lawyers.

The two chicks dragging him sef are fugly. Same Kyle Walker arrested for exposing himself in a bar to some chicks and arrested for having an orgy with two hookers during COVID. Its obvious this nigga brain goes on hiatus when blood flows to his John Thomas.

With 6 kids already from 2 different women, man should just go for vasectomy and shag to his hearts content without worrying about another claim on his pocket. The way I'm seeing it, man's pocket will be divided in 4 - half to his wife, and then he has to share whatever's left with his baby mother. Like they say, women are a sure way to go broke and Kyle looks like someone ready to go broke on top his sexual urges.

The guy will most likely go broke when the women in his life are ready to deal with him. He’s living the life of a traditional African man in a country like UK.

Let’s hope he can analyze football so when he’s retired and the women make a kill from his fortune , he can always fall back to punditry

Roland17:
Naaaa.. Developing already transitioned youngsters is different from developing and integrating from the academy.

Developing already transitioned youngsters is the job of every first team coach, irrespective who brought them to the first team.

What we are saying here is that in 5 years, Arteta hasn’t done any of the work his predecessor did in even developing and integrating prospects from Hale.

The biggest influence you can ascribe to Arteta in regards to Martinelli would be switching his development from a CF to a winger.

Let me also correct you, Willock had played 18 games with 10 starts, this excludes Europa starts in the 2019/2020 season under Emery before Arteta took over in December 2019, those are not kids number. He was a starter for Emery in 2019 under Emery.

If he played 29 games in 2019/ 2020 season and Emery gave him 18 games with 10 starts, that means Arteta gave him only 11 (mostly bench appearances ) games after he took over in a season that has 38 games. The rest were bench or not in the squad. That buttresses my point even further.

Odegaard already had loan stints, so did Nelson and ESR was already ahead of the curve until injury.

If Arteta leaves tomorrow, who can we as Arsenal fans point to as his own project? A player he developed from the academy and integrated into the first team for the next manager to even continue with?

I don’t know where Ibime got his info that Arteta developed Willock and made him sellable . Willock was starting under Ebening cos I remember how some of us were complaining about his game.

If he wants to excuse Arteta and make a case for him that the city comparison is unfair to him considering the structure city has in place , what about Loserpool ? Is Klopp also enjoying the city structure in Loserpool ? At least we’ve seen Klopp also integrate youngsters that have gone on to impress .

It’s just shameful that Arteta cannot even try out any of the youngsters even in Carabao cup.

Itsrm:
He would still have been the closest to him if he stayed on his feet.

Sliding made an already bad situation far worse.

That was a perfect pass , even if Trippier stayEd on his feet he won’t he still won’t get the ball before Bobb except Bobb is a Sloth .

De Bruyne picked the boy out and the boy made good use of the ball. Once those kind pass dey ahead of u as a defender there’s nothing u can do except u hope the receiver of the pass fumble .

Trippier sliding was he doing what we usually call “ o Shey oro aje “

Roland17:
Man is entering his 5th year, I mean, at some point he should have some shame. Klopp did the same thing against him.

Now we don’t even know how good or terrible any of the youngsters are cos he just wouldn’t have the balls to play them. I guess the boys will be setting their sights on a career away from Arsenal if Arteta still remains the coach . That’s what I would do too if I was in their shoes

iamoyindamola:
He just assisted another goal
Who the hell is bobb
Our own useless coach go recycle same player for 38 matches if possible

Shame on Arteta for not promoting any youngster till date .

There’s something unique about De Beuyne’s passes . He doesn’t even give any hint that he wants to make a pass unlike some players.

When some players want to pass u can easily read their body posture/movement ; some players would swing their hands or even crouch their back seconds before the pass , but not debruyne .He can just stay rooted on a spot ,spray a long pass u never saw coming and there’s nothing u can do about it.

Emaprince:
He said that thing "might" not start untill 2025. It was just a hyperbole not to be taken literally. But the main thing to take away is that it will still take some time to begin as against what APC lying machine were selling to the public about refining of fuel in June, then we heard October etc....

The thing is APC run their government on propaganda ( NOTE : Propaganda actually comprises of facts , half-truths and outright lies ). Now the problem is when some of those information they passed out to the public turn out to be false or deadline becomes unrealistic , they just shy away from addressing the issue and set another deadline instead of at least apologizing to the public & explain reasons why they were unable to deliver as promised .

Look at the UAE visa ban they announced prematurely had been lifted . Till date they are still fine-tuning the process of lifting the ban with UAE. If u dare say anything about it, their minions will start saying all sorts of unintelligent stuff that do not address the fact of the matter .

David Hudeyin too on his own part too dey put emotion into everything making it seem like he’s hoping things don’t ever work out.

Roland17:
I mean if you have the technique why complicate something like that? He did the most important thing which was to create the angle. We saw Martinelli in a similar situation and baba dragged himself out of the perfect angle.

Newcastle are playing pragmatic football, no time to pass 500 times only to take one lazy shot. They may lose for all we know but they are not allowing City overrun them.

This ! They are playing to their strength; they know they can’t play man city man for man else they will lose woefully . They just wait for their chances to come and they execute it perfectly without any sexy football or their attackers caressing the ball in city’s area.

At times I think Arteta gets carried away by the gazillion passes our players play all match long or maybe he’s still fantasizing with wenger ball

Ibime:
Iol. I see am for team sheet. I come dey wonder whether him grow him hair. Must have missed his injury

He got injured within the first 5 minutes of the game

Roland17:
Our players for dey dance Gaou Lepa Gaou!

Jesus will end up turning the defender 2 to 3 times before deciding on what to do.

I like the fact that Isak kept it simple and made sure his technique was on point !

Gordon makes it 2-1 .

Dem don know this keeps PIN code

Roland17:
Isak with a beautiful finish..

As in…. Na better striker

Kai Havertz is a useless footballer stealing for a living currently . A bakayoko with German passport

Itsrm:
Exactly. And when he's wrong, he doesn't just keep quiet, he continues burying his head in the sound.

He still did yesterday with the news that Dangote has started refining.

He don dey do “No gree for anybody” since

He’s only doing what Nigerian government does at times .

TrebleChamp:
Thanks for this. Yeah he goofed with the 2025 date, but him dey try for this investigative journalism work. I guess he said it based on the information he got from his inside source...

The problem he has is that he postures as tho anything he says is authentic and confirmed . He doesn’t leave any room for a possibility that he may be wrong atimes .

I don’t blame those that take every word he says as the gospel truth tho, he’s been right in some instances when government officials have waved his work off only for them to find his work actionable later . I think he was right with the Nigeria Air story a La Hadi Sirika fraudulent launch .

Itsrm:
He said the refinery has not been completed and cannot refine.

Nothing at all to do with petrol.

U are and Treblechamp are partly right. He mentioned 2025 but he didn’t limit it to PMS .

I think the guy exaggerate what he knows sometimes sha

After a while your heart would be somewhat hardened subconsciously. Not hardened in a way that you will be uncaring but hardened in a way to protect your own mental health.

That baby she was talking about had congenital hydrocephalus and the treatment she was describing is called a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt.

The most valuable but least appreciated thing in life is good health. I have seen mothers like this woman who spend 50% of their time in and out of hospitals because of kids with rare diseases that even I never heard of before. I am always amazed at their fortitude.

Any time you pass a teaching hospital, think of the people who have made it their second home, and appreciate your own life.

Baba , You are preaching to the pope here. I saw things at LASUTH that made me shudder .

It was at LASUTH I first saw someone who who was brought in on a wheelchair to their test center with hose passed through his forehead transfusing blood . I never ever imagined people get blood transfusion thru forehead before . 😫

Good health is under-appreciated in this country o
