Is our government truly serious with its efforts to end banditry? In this age of drones, can they not be used to locate and bomb the camps? There are drones that come cheap and our military can put to use nationwide to tackle banditry and terrorism. What is happening please?

This is the igbos oppression of the northerners in their state.

This move is targeted to destroy the huge investment of the northerners in the state.

This is a pure hatred against the northerners and we cannot allow this to happen.


Let me feed you people with a little from your cup.
Close that your rat like mouth if you have no idea what to say.

People like you just join the crowd and support those who kill and maim you daily.

Government has the business of making life very livable for the people. There are those who choose better lives over very worthless lives. Lagos state has over the years built infrastructure that should make life better for the citizens. The same goes for Kano and every other state in the country.

It is within the rights of the state government to build proper structures and provide security for the citizens. Since you do not know the state, talk less of the terrain, simply read the comments of the people of the state, then use common sense to make proper and informed comments.

Where is the oppression? Herdsmen all over the world are known to reside in properly built house and not in forests and ranches where they attack, maim, kill and kidnap others for ransom. That’s exactly what happens at that ranch. Government took the best decision. Who stopped them from renting proper houses to live. And by the way Mr. Olodo, who told you that Igbo people do not reside there too? Who told you that it is only the northerners who reside in that area?


Stop disgracing yourself.

Fantastic in those days.

Very expensive and only could be afforded by some. Absolutely exuded luxury, beauty and power. Very well preferred on the US route, from the UK, as it saved time for passengers who could afford it.

Hopefully the aviation industry can develop another design of such an aircraft, with far less noise, which was a major factor. It’s noise reverberated everywhere as it was landing or taking off. Again the issue of the price (which made people avoid it and regular aircrafts), could be looked into and lastly the maintenance.

Read properly before you comment to avoid confusion.

“ The actor during a recent interview on Off Air episode featuring Toolz and Gbemi claimed to have a strong libido because he is a Calabar man.

Using his own life as a point of reference, Daniel Etim-Effiong responded; “I am a Calabar man, it means that my libido is quite high”.

Please correct the actor directly and not people who are reading his comment.

No dey embarass yourself.
Tell us where you have been. Do a comparison of bus, train and water transport to prove your claim. That should help everyone understand how things work.

Tell us which areas train prices are cheaper and the reasons. Tell us which areas buses or coaches as they are called and the reasons.

That makes understanding easier for everyone.

PoliticsRe: Report Lists Top Performing Ministers In Tinubu's Administration by Cantonese: 10:43am On Feb 28, 2024
SoNature:
Nigeria cannot make progress the way it is structured because it wasn't designed to. We must take the first step, which is restructuring.

By the way, governors don't even have much. Nigeria isn't a rich country. What your FG budgets is less than what one American state budgets.

Allowing governors to control their resources means bringing governance closer to the people. And state houses of assembly must pass laws compelling LGA chairpersons to live in their LGAs.

Governors pay 10% tax to the centre, shares 60% of resources to the LGAs according to their contributions and keeps 30%. If you don't see changes in the next 10 years, know that Nigeria cannot work.

As for love and love for country, that can only happen when the resources of the people are used to take care of them. You don't owe love to a country that has given you nothing. And resources get to the grassroots when we have functional LGA administration.
We need to be honest with ourselves bro. The major challenge the country presently faces is corruption. Until we are honest to deal with the matter, there can be no progress on any front. Of what use are resources when a few are out there fighting and killing each other to possess everything to themselves? Of what use are resources that are there but are not beneficial to the people? How can you ever believe politicians who say Nigeria is a poor country? Nigeria is not poor. The citizens are mentally poor.

Except for nuclear weapons, Nigeria possesses all the ingredients of a world power.

Nigeria has the natural resources, human resources, temperature and landmass. Why suffer food insecurity when we have lands and people to farm? The only difference between our country and the USA is the nuclear power. Again, the leaders are not prepared to use what is available to develop the country. Even the citizens are culprits as they absolutely agree with wrong leaders to put them into misery.

Aside from embezzlement, why are the leaders so interested in political power? All they embezzle are taken abroad to further add to the development of developed countries. They return to tell us that the country is poor while they continue with their stealing.

Oil is not the only resource that can bring make us great. We have gold, gas, lithium, copper, zinc, bauxite, all of them that can be exploited to make us great. The politicians steal gold in the north and personalize it. Lithium makes others countries economically great.

It is not about who keeps what first. It must be about ending corruption, etc. The country was not this polarized until 1999, when politicians forcefully pushed the ethnic card. Restructuring is just another opportunity for some to take advantage of the disadvantaged.

Again how can the resources of the people be useful to them, as some do not even want their communities to be properly developed. Have you not heard that in some communities, you need to appease the youths before you can instal transformers for them? You can ask the telecoms companies how hard and dangerous it is for their staff to install or audit masts in their communities.

We ask God for help. He answers with elections. We take out PVCs, collect bribes and vote for embezzlers and oppressors. We cry and yet justify our wrong actions. How then can the country get better even with restructuring?

Hmm.

Sometimes I support this an eye for an eye in the Sharia law. Such people should also receive their punishments in the same manner as executed in their victims.

A family accommodated your family and you ended killing the man because of your regular wicked acts to him.

Now he and his group have lost their freedom to live proper lives. First they will face prosecution in the most inhumane manner. After several years of back and forth, they will be jailed. They then will spend the rest of their lives with no wives, no children, no family and no one interested to show them mercy too. The rest of their lives to be lived in regret, misery and sorrow. All their days will always be the words “had I known”?

Very evil people. Thankfully they were quickly caught and must serve their punishments.
PoliticsRe: Report Lists Top Performing Ministers In Tinubu's Administration by Cantonese: 9:06am On Feb 28, 2024
SoNature:
Without restructuring this country to give power to the federating units, 80% of Nigerians cannot feel the impact of the government.

The best way to make this happen is to allow governors control their resources, control their police and pay 10% tax to the federal government.

The federal government will scrap almost all the useless departments and agencies that cannot generate money for itself while keeping a few ministries to focus on policy making and implementation. In the end, the state commissioners do the real infrastructural projects.
Restructure when you have not eliminated tribalism, nepotism and religious biases is a complete waste of time.

Governors have so much powers. Controlling the state resources and state police would certainly make them super human. Allowing states control their resources would have been ideally feasible, but politicians will never allow that to happen.

What about a breakup? No way either.

Give the SW their Oduduwa republic and you will find the Ijebu man fighting the Ijesha man, Ibadan man fighting the Egba man, etc.
Give the northerners Arewa and you will find the Fulani fighting the Hausa, Kanuri man, etc.
Give the SE their Biafra and you”ll find the Imo man fighting the Anambra man, etc.

We must first purge ourselves of the evil brought into our country by our wicked and heavily corrupt politicians.

What a big shame. To also note that he was flaunting it on social media is nauseating. What then is the difference with yahoo business? Hiding under porous laws to abuse the privilege. Deportation and termination of all the claims should serve as his punishment.

Unfortunately too, it is not just Nigerians who get involved in such criminal acts. However, Nigerians who manage to discover such loopholes, take advantage and destroy it completely.

Get to India today and see what the Nigerians youths have done, disgracing themselves with cultism. From time to time there are cult fights and killings in India by Nigerians. The same goes for Malaysia and other parts of Asia.

Truly corruption has found permanent roots in this country.

If the telecoms companies tell us what they see, we will never believe.

The fear is not only with the citizens not paying, but also with internal embezzlement of the company's resources.

poiZon:
The issue is the leaders r so bereft of ideas that power generation has become rocket science.
Let the FG unbundle Tcn, or give states without power plants 4 to 5yrs so they can invest in power plants, after that the entire Tcn should be unbundle.
States will now take care of the 3 strands of power, generation, distribution and transmission.
States can then do their internal privatisation or allow local govts to bid for power generation n transmission for their communities...
With these, we r almost getting closer to solving power problems in Nigeria.
How can akwaibom power plant be generating 190mw and we send it first to national grid which inturn distribute to taraba, kogi Kwara ...etc.
The entire northern states don't have power plants that generate up to 500mw of power outside kainji power which was built by Niger Delta funds.
One single word makes it rocket science. That word is CORRUPTION.

Simply license individuals or corporate organizations like Geometric, just like the telecoms sector and you will see light 24/7.
