So this government knows where these victims are then...
They just refuse to act.

See the entitled way the negotiator is justifying the criminals!!

1. This is not a jobless or hungry man as some insinuated.
Fine or ugly, being the Rotary's ikoyi chapter President (he met several Rotary chapters members & Presidents during the course of his journey. Same with 9ja ambassadors & diplomats/embassy staffers)
He had situations 9ja embassies stepped in when he encountered few border crossing issues. Pls don't try it without valid travelling papers!
2. Ajala (listen to Ebenezer Obey) had done this before ...
3. He shouldn't be updating on how much is donated while still on the trip!!

Just read or research first before commenting or asking how London to Lagos by land is done.

But Daddy Freeze recaptured the story; was actually called out by Obi to help locate the guy (while promising what he intended for the guy)... and he did just that.
Remember he is into media and needs content for his media/vlog/blog too? He was given exclusivity on this one. It's biz
It's not a case of alatenuje in this instance

Might not be up to anything...she delivered a baby there before na.

Most people can't afford quality health care because there's serious poverty in the land.

I think the trado guy has high paying clients interested in money making rituals and the government needs to start arresting the people offering these heinous services that requires human killings sef.
Enough is enough.

Revolution2022:
Instead of going to a hospital to carryout a checkup on her health problem she decided to visit a juju man who didn't know how to diagnose health related problems but to harvest human organs in other to prepare concoction for his money ritual clients.
I feel she was up to something sinister that was why she visited the juju man.

Show their dead bodies for you to do what exactly?
They have shown the panelists and they are not from just the government.
If you still don't believe, please let the families mourn in peace. But stop the derision, that it's false.

Adding poor reporting to our issues. While this price increase is true reporting this way aids misinformation...

No mention of old prices and comparison to the new (%age or others); way out or alternatives; source etc.

Are they trying to use our funds pay their prior USSD debts to the telecos...?

What do we really mean by perfect here?
Let God be God (perfect) and you be human (understand rebounding = asking forgiveness & grace when needed)

Nuttella:
Its possible not to fall, very very possible. God said be ye holy, for I am holy. Peter also said its Possible that you will never fall.

2 Peter 1:10
[10]Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

How would you interprete 2 Peter 1:4 above 10
"whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust."

if you refuse to agree with being too literal with vs10. Has anyone truly escaped the corruption that abounds in this world?

The standards puts unnecessary strains not meant.

Let's have the UAE list...
Who else noticed this is a one-sided report (from "supposed victims angle)...
{and experience has shown that the folks claiming victims are often not all that...}

Governor ruling in absentia - just collecting security votes!
May God save Nigeria (God don bless am enough already).

Why/when is the public going to stop being used by these politicians (with tribal & religious stunts) ?

The question is how much tax is he & his companies paying?

Simple logic would say, If truly they are the biggest contributors then what Lagos is doing is more to their advantage = why not allow it. Or is that the us (North) that he mentioned loves Lagos more than Lagos itself?

We all know the current structure is not and will not work for Nigeria's development.

Nothing to worry about here...
Just engage her that you are fine and will be OK.

CBN too using police approach... Why not investigate first before acting/arrest?

Interesting thread.

Nice one Peggy...am taking even a different angle.

We can't deny our realities & experiences as we journey this ethereal world, the reasons we adduce and solutions/actions we take to resolve are even more important.
But our individual experiences will not form dogmas/doctrines...niether will it confirm God to be God nor invalidate Him.
Some heros of faith died without inheriting the promise, (but am sure they had a great/rough ride on their trips.)

when this "enemies and ancestral curse" teachings/preaching started I knew it would damage some folks and enrich its preachers.

But it's the same everywhere, even Europe instilled fears of witches in the citizens and killed witches. There must have been innocent (some truly gifted spiritually, others bipolar or with OCD, or just set up from rivalry as we now understand)
The 9ja kid labelled a witch and nailed in the head painfully comes to mind. A terrible low for the parents & "pastor" involved.

As Africa is not the only place with bad/dark or better still an unenlightened past.
I wonder how long we would allow our past to hold us back & down with all the information out there?

Some here grew up fearing ojuju and gbomo-gbomo. They got goosebumps hearing a mention of their names AND FORMED MENTAL PICTURES OF THEM, dreamt of them!
But outgrew the fears with maturity and enlightenment. The ojuju is what you made it to be, and mine would be definitely be different from yours. But all are from our fears! So what of the claimed dreams some made up or truly had when a lot younger?
The current dictionary definition of witch or witchcraft is totally without fears = manipulations/magics.
So what are adults really still seeing. describe please?

Our research into mental health, sleep, sleep deprivation and disorders needs to be worked on...

They actually paid totals of $60b, 20b was for civil settlement on the Mexico spill....
They cheated Ogoni people.

They'd say COVID number was & is XYZ and we just couldn't see where they buried such huge numbers.

These officials with useless figures & info sef....
Just to push the VREG idea (thru their own cronies o) !

May God help both of them...

No investment or business!
Not a Cooperative?

This is ponzi

Can you source alternative tissue culture kits & equipments?

We are in trouble with the public's knowledge of what it takes to develop this country....
Because our Governor's build houses for ridiculous amounts, can't we reason that when we build ourselves it's always lot cheaper?

See link below: no radiation (I believe you meant xray machine NEEDS TO COST ₦1b. You'd get one even ₦6m haba!!!)
We need to be well researched to properly question these rouge politicians ruling us o....

na2016:
Most people do not know this and that is why when they hear a state wants to spend 35Billion on a teaching hospital, they will say is too expensive.

Op's point is, poor background and some courses....
Let's stay on that premise. Nigeria(ns) is the problem, not any particular course.

But another angle I want us to look at is that most Nigerians don't value and or can't afford the professionals is one of the reasons those professionals are lagging (I didn't say they are not coping o)
The government is the top employer of medical professionals (because setting up a standard private practice is expensive = their salary in dollar terms vs structure & equipments they need dollars to buy is indeed peanuts)
We mostly go to the pharmacy first before visiting the doctor!
So for all the effort involved in their qualifications, how many doctors are at par with our bank owners, Corporate owners or govt contractors?

We stopped valuing teachers like in the 1960-80s (but see where it has gotten us)
How many of us go to architects to design for us?
How many built their homes or other structures using civil engineers?

We impoverish these professionals...

adedayourt:
Does not look ultra modern to me though

Apart from climate control gadgets, wastes goes thru the meshed flooring; water is automated & therefore always delivered clean; feeding wastage is minimised; farrowing crates to ensure the piglets survive after delivery = this is modern (maybe not ultra...)

I believe apart from the money making involved, less stressful mechanised or semi-mechanised farming is how it can be done to attract the hoard of unemployed youths o!

Most folks are overlooking the easiest and obvious "weak point"
Am referring to
1. the useless hardcover register the banks keep openly for us to record what they could keep electronically!
2. Am not sure if they shred their waste as a policy too. Have seen cleaners move papers that should have been shredded many times.

See, some people make the their honey pot to mine data.
A friend came back from just collecting a new ATM card and was wondering how a number not linked to his account was used to reach him, till I pointed out the register thing to him...

LET'S INSIST THE BANKS REMOVE IT FROM WHERE THEY KEEP IT OPENNED.

Prophetdoctor:
A lot of people have benefited from this scheme. Although, I have ugly stories I would tell about about people that I know who have suffered or lost their destinies through this scheme, but it's mostly their fault.

NYSC is not a waste of time. Many have met their destiny helpers at their PPA. My sister is happily married to a Yoruba man she met at Ogun State during her NYSC days. The husband is now working as a Lab. scientist at UI, Ibadan. My father through the help of God did his NYSC at CBN. He played his cards well. He was retained after his program. He worked and retired there as a Executive. Our last born is currently doing his NYSC at MINT. We are hoping they will retain him next year.


The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. NYSC should not be scrapped.

@bolded.
Pls don't use such words against the unlucky others.
1. I'd ask the rep/senator in favour, how many of the dead corpers' family he personally has visited & what was done for/to them (I rem those slaughtered during elections riot especially)
2. From your "knowing how to play games" narrative; how many of these reps/senators allow their wards/children go to where posted without "influencing" postings or changes?
3. What's being done to stop corruption & contract racquet in the service scheme?
4. If we are not scrapping, what do we infuse as a nation into scheme?
5. What real data do we have of this scheme taking so much funds = kits, feeding, transport, allawee, staff salary, their pensions, office maintenance etc? How many got jobs or are retained? How many got married thru it?
Can we not do skills acquisition and give 500k to each to go start up without looking for jobs (with incentive to partner with others to start up biz)

Can this same rep/senator travel unguarded to any part of this country like he expects others children?

We need to go back to a Nigeria where you don't have to influence anything and there's equal, fair and just opportunities, where ALL respects the postings; where there's security; where host communities truly welcome as in the past; where employers of labour are not just taking advantage of available cheap labour... else there's truly weak arguments for continuing this program.

The Governors should fight the more for community policing...

How much interest?
What if you are given 30 tons to dispose?
Would you be faithful to deliver without nairaland type of stories that touch the heart?

SanctifiedSista:
see my business o, who go give me 10 milion to supply this and give them back with interest.. Chai



Happy Easter, congratulations to everyone

Where's your location, trying to find out if the distance would make any sense...

Promasidor now runs the "500 hectares" Ikun dairy project of Adekunle Ajasin since 2019 visits and agreements with present Governor Fayemi.

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://thenationonlineng.net/40-year-old-moribund-ikun-dairy-farm-bounces-back/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwj0zsejzLTuAhWGy6QKHezFA_0QFnoECAsQAg&usg=AOvVaw3ZccEyzQBXILh-KOMOEaog

I think we over concentrate on the presidency instead of flogging our Governors the more.
What has ever been done to past governance (civil service & political) that ran such projects aground?
What happened to the Fayose injection of funds
What of Segun Oni's ₦700m injection to the same Dairy?

Impressive... But
must we bring wares to sell on the dangerous road sides? we need to move to modern mega Malls as credible examples of market.

Most need to find out what really happened to Econet

Below is the guy's story...

"I had the privilege of making Nigeria’s first GSM phone call back in 2001 when I called the regulator to say, “We’re live!” Who would’ve believed then that Nigeria today would have more than 167 million mobile phones?!

It all started out as a very exciting new chapter for enterprise in Africa. Shortly after President Obasanjo was elected, the new government announced an incredibly transparent international auction process for three national mobile phone licenses.

To participate in the bid, you not only had to raise money, but there had to be a member of the bidding consortium who was an experienced GSM operator. Econet Wireless met the requirements because of its experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Our Nigerian partners, which included state governments, local banks and high net worth individuals, were financial investors. The largest shareholder had only 10%. That was the written agreement.

I managed to assemble a consortium of 22 investors to put up the money needed to bid. Our shareholders were all Nigerian, mostly institutional investors including leading banks and two state governments, Lagos State and Delta State. The license cost us $285m and was the most expensive license ever issued in Africa at the time. This was 2001.

We considered the investment not only about putting together a network, but also about building a nation. We knew it had the potential to transform Nigeria’s entire business and social architecture.

Most of our investors had between 1-10% shareholding. Econet Wireless Nigeria had only 5% of the shares, but that was fine because it was 5% ownership of a very big pie.

As the “technical partner and operator,” Econet was the company with the expertise to build and operate such a business. Our financial investors recognised this, and also allowed us to receive 3% of the turnover as our fees. This was standard practice in the industry.

We were one of the winning bidders and they gave us just six months to set up business and get our network operating. We were under a lot of pressure but our network was live two days before the others! Customers were pouring in. We were number one in the market with an estimated 57% market share.

___Then came the fateful day when I was told that our company must pay a total of $9m in bribes to senior politicians (in state government) who had facilitated the raising of the money to pay for the license.

I refused to authorise the illegal payments. Meeting after meeting was held to try to get me to agree, but I would not. The money would not be paid as long as Econet was the operator and I had signing authority.

James Ibori, the Governor of Delta State, was demanding $4,5m be paid to him in his personal capacity. He was one of the most powerful men in the country and had a reputation for violence. When he heard that I was refusing to approve payment he issued an ultimatum:

___”Pay or I will chase you and your people out of the country.”

I refused.

The shareholders met and voted Econet Wireless Nigeria out of management. They cancelled our management contract. James Ibori and his colleagues personally attended the meeting to remove us. After the meeting one of them (a prominent local businessman even today) came up to me and said: “Unfortunately for you, God does not have a vote.”

I had to withdraw all my staff and their families: 200 people in all. We left Nigeria.

Most of our people had to be retrenched. The loss of the contract almost drove us to bankruptcy as a group.

They invited a big international operator to replace us as technical partner and operator. They changed the name of the company from Econet to V-Mobile.

Within days of their arrival, the managers of the new operator signed off the payments demanded as bribes.

Then what happened?

A few noble Nigerians had both the integrity and courage to carefully collect all the documentation on the movement of the money, and pass it all on to me.

___There’s a saying worth remembering in uncovering the trail of destruction that is corruption: “Follow the money”…

I bided my time… then I wrote a letter to the United States Department of Justice!

It was 2003."

To be continued…"

All the best

what you are saying only happens when leaders are clueless. what he did might not even have required beatings in the first place... maybe just reinforcement of privacy...

But why Yahoo boy for heaven's sake?

I see someone the society should groom to become a "crisis negotiator" This society needs people that can talk to depressed/suicidal folks, kidnappers/hostage situations etc.

vibre:
Can you imagine this? This is the problem with this generation. Instead of all of them to join hand and give this boy a thorough beating for the bad thing he did, they are now celebrating him for trying to escape from his punishment with wayo sense . With the way they are encouraging him to continue using wayo sense, the boy will grow up to become a Yahoo boy.
