Are those countries without petrol dollars starving, Is Ghana, SA and many more are they not meeting up with their needs even more than Nigeria that is now poverty capital of the world?

Ghana has gold dollars. Ghana also has Fulani herdsmen. But see how Ghana used their version of what we denounced as RUGA to solve it.

And, p.s.! Nigeria is not "poverty capital of the world"! Only ignorant fools who haven't seen the poverty in other countries think so.

Nigerians are fantastically corrupt in the words of the former UK prime minister

!!

It might be very different in your own part of Nigeria, but in my own part of Nigeria, the person who helps the thief hide what was stolen are both thieves!

Mango trees live and produce fruit for many years, and with good growing conditions and without freezing weather that will kill the tree, mangoes can bear fruit for decades or longer. According to California Rare Fruit Growers Inc., there are mango trees reported to be bearing fruit that are older than 300 years.

How Long Do Mango Trees From Seedlings Bear Fruit? | Hunker

That is indeed true. But 300 year old trees will not produce a competitive yield. Its like the kolanut trees on my farm. I still get a crop from the trees my great great grandfather planted, but my newer trees yield more. Besides, some trees are modified to produce fruit out of what we call season. Imagine mangoes on trees all year round.

INFOTECH2:
Never knew they had to be replanted every 7 years

They don't have to be replanted every seven years. But Australians do, for yield. It's like the new palmtrees. High yield initially reduces over time, which is why new ones must be planted. The new cocoa too. Our own native brands last longer but the yield is much lower and reduces over time so cost of production is high, and is why other countries now produce more (palm oil, cocoa, groundnut, yam, cow, maize etc) per cost than we do and why our farmers struggle. It is cheaper for Europe to buy from faraway New Zealand and Australia than anywhere in closeby West Africa.

I'd love to get my hands on Australian mango seeds, but would not be surprised if they have been genetically modified to not grow from seed.

Ojiofor:
As an independent nation they can decide to
importt beef from other west African countries or from any country in the world.

Like from the Republic of Northern Nigeria, right, and with, well, definitely not with petrodollars, since that would belong to the Republic of South South Nigeria.

Tumbulum:
Miyetti Allah has owned up to the mass murder of Nigerians and have even gone to TV to threaten a whole ethnic group ....

This is a lie. You just believe it because it suits your narative, but not all Yorubas and Nigerians are as senseless as you!

Blue3k2:
Anyone that wants one can should be allowed to do so.

Well, as you might have noticed, Nigeria is not so lawless that "Anyone that wants one can should be allowed to do so", since we all know how that tends to end!

ZombieHUNT:
Shut Up there my Muslim friend
I know you will use this opportunity to defend killers and marauders..

You can add Boko Haram to your list too

Sorry! I forgot them. Boko Haram too elected the government of Abia State.

I don't think I'm your friend though as I don't do friends with knuckleheads like you who don't use their brains and talk through their asses.

Blue3k2:
Your switching from asking redundant questions to shifting goal post ok. If the criminals in question switch to land based crimes they'll have to content with security forces already on the ground. If Buhari is interested in tackiling crime he could use security vote money more responsibly. Increasing the police presence. State governments also taking more Initiative. Improving the economy would also help.

The ultimate solution is to amend the constitution to allow any tier of government to have their own police force and prisons. It also be smart to amend exclusive list item 2 and 1990 fire arms act.

You keep calling my question redundant, yet, it is what's making you delve deeper into this to find a holistic solution. Is it your position that only you is "holistic", I wonder.

This crime is not only for Buhari to solve! As you yourself point out, "State governments also taking more Initiative. Improving the economy would also help".

See here what a state governor is alleged to have done with state money, which, if true, promotes crime in that state.

As for state police, my opinion is stated here.

slimfit1:
You watch I already have complains from more people that I will send to the Commonwealth and UK foreign office.

When you have completed your "investigation into the way they conduct their activities", please make sure you also send your "complains" to the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Nigerian Ambassador to UK, both who might actually be in a position to do something about your "complain".

Blue3k2:
We're talking about how to reduce piracy on this thread. If these solutions reduce piracy that's success. The overwhelming pressence of navy did just that. They even went back in fishing. Crime in general requires other holistic solutions.

You are talking about "how to reduce piracy on this thread", but you do not dictate what others are talking about, especially if your solution just seems to push piracy into other crimes.

Do note that piracy is "crime in general", and those who wish to reduce it should consider "other holistic solutions".

Cocotrendz:
This man and his stupid son are Criminals

Its not his fault, as those who blame bubu and fulani herdsmen for everything would come here and tell us instead of taking responsibility themselves for electing corrupt people to lead them.

We all know fulani herdsmen and their cows elected the governor of Abia State for Abians.

Blue3k2:
These same steps took down pirates in Somalia.

"These same steps" just moved them on to other criminal activities!

slimfit1:
I would be going there this week and I will be doing my investigation into the way they conduct their activities...

Don't you think you should have done your "investigation into the way they conduct their activities" first, instead of showing your prejudice and bias about an alleged "conduct and activity" that you have not investigated yet?

I was not responding to any suggestion of yours, but stating one solution that did not work. These people were paid lots of money to reskill and retool but they didn't retool and reskill, least not most of them, though I do know some who got scholarships to study at home and abroad and who are now doing very well indeed.

You can arrest as many as you want, but the rate at which we breed will always mean replacements are waiting in the wings. What is required is proper education so that they can find useful things to do with their lives. Same with alimanjeri who have no skills to do anything better than what they currently do.

Blue3k2:
I didn't suggest suggest futher amnesty or reskilling so the question is redundant. Criminal recidivism is a big issue since these guys dont face any real consequences to their lifestyle. The best course of action is to gather intelligence on the criminals gangs on land and arrest then. The navy also needs to have a smothering presence at sea.

Blue3k2:
Weren't the bandits not given amnesty and yet they're rampaging in the north west. What's the point of your question?

The point of my question is they were retrained and reskilled and they are now back, so that perhaps isn't the solution.

I'm sure you'd agree that it is not working in the North either, though, amnesty is not quite "reskill and retrain".

Lol! Very funny.

My own was Bar Beach. I drank all the water in the South Atlantic Ocean. I was saved and lay on the beach ashamed that everyone saw my majidun pata!

budaatum:
I once went swimming at Bar Beach and drank the ocean dry. When I was pulled out I said "what you all looking at?" And everyone laughed. I was embarrassed at everyone staring at my pata majidun, those multicoloured ones the mallahs used to wear when collecting sand at Majidun in those days.

budaatum:
I just saw myself drinking the water thinking "but I don full now". Next thing, I woke up lying on the beach with all these people starring at my pata majidun, which I was ashamed of. So I rudely asked, "what you all starring at?", and they all laughed. It was only later that I was informed that I'd deprived everyone from swimming in the ocean because I'd drank it all up. They'd had to press it all out of my stomach!

Blue3k2:
If there's leakers simply start coloring the water expose them. The issues in the niger delta must be dealt with if the nation wants new seaports to be sucessful. Piracy and illegal fishing can be dealt with by simply increasing their budget as I always suggest. These criminals should go find honest jobs or sit in jail.

Were they not paid to go and retrain and reskill?

Simplyleo:
You are wrong.

It is actually the Fulani Herdsmen with their cows causing the havoc.

For details, contact the nearest ipob miscreant.

I know I am wrong. I'm just asking for someone to show me cow in the Delta kidnapping ships and people and stealing and illegally selling oil.

Well, I guess this would not be the first time "we Yoruba" have upped stakes and moved our Oyo some place else. Let's just hope this "exit Nigeria" is a move somewhere much better like Europe perhaps, or USA.

You must just laugh when the voice of one single individual or group of people become "we Yoruba"!

Somebody must come and tell me its Fulani herdsmen with their cow that is causing havoc in the Delta!

At the heart of the problem are activities by criminal groups based in the Niger Delta where kidnappings on land have long been a security challenge. Unless the massive security problems in the Delta are resolved, no significant headway will be made at sea.

Attacks at sea are generally conducted by criminal groups based in the Niger Delta. Throughout the region, there is an ample supply of foot soldiers and campsin remote locations where hostages can be held during negotiations, the prerequisites for a lucrative business model.

See jungle justice! They torture him then "he allegedly made startling confessions and acknowledged he was guilty of human sacrifice", so they "eventually beheaded and had other parts of his body cut in little pieces by the Bakassi Boys after which all the parts were gathered together & set ablaze at the Ochanja Market in Anambra state, Nigeria"!

Say "No" to jungle justice. It is unintelligent!

Goldencheese:
Oh, they were disbanded when the outfit began to misbehave, became politicised and some of their members began to engage in criminalities.

But while they were active, criminals fled the SE and peace returned. There were a few excesses but people respected themselves. I think the SE needs such an outfit again during these perilous times.

Did criminals flee or did the criminals become Bakassi Boys?

Is it not criminal to behead others?

If I had annointing, it would have put sense in my head such that I would have not stupidly starved and spent so much money on an iPhone 11 when I could have spent much less on a suitable phone. If I were annointed, I definitely would not have gone "to church to pepper them with the phone"!

So when the Lord decides to correct [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+22%3A21-38&version=KJV]the devil led non-annointing perverse ways that made me so ignorant and stupid to starve myself in the first place[/url], I would thank the Lord for resetting my brain by making someone beside me be the instrument of my correction and learning!

For full list, and to read them all, see here.

And remember, "those who live by bread alone will become malnourished!"

Only stupid ignorant people will concur with what you wrote above. In fact, if you were Igbo and what you wrote were true you'd have had the I.Q. to not be so stupid and ignorant to write it!

I wonder why these weddings are so popular?!

Thanks for the education op. I used to get bullied by some who used Tom and Jerry as evidence that Oyinbo rats talk..One still sees them today claimimg some spiritit is talking to them!

budaatum:
Me who had watched Nigeria fight Biafra and the kwaishokor that ensued had not had a telly since it ended and FESTAC was about to start. I tol ma, you either take me to go watch it live or we are getting a telly, "here's the money from my mangoes selling!" And on 14 January 1977 she took me to Alaba and I bought my first television.

It was black and white. Size didn't matter. At least those who claimed oyinbo rats talk could now watch Tom and Jerry talk in my living room.
