I got banned today for nothing .

My post had the word “kill”

majority of you hate to be disciplined and corrected in a small way.

But you are staunched critics of government policies

Tinubuadvocate:
Seun be careful about some decisions you are making on this forum although you are a sole owner of the site but that doesn't mean you should be rigid in whatever you are going to do.

Why should I make 40 words before I can post?

But 40 words are not too much in order to express yourself properly

I thought your monicker is an advocate

According to the posting letter, formation and unit commanders were directed to implement the redeployment as instructed, using the promulgation as their official authority.

In a major personnel shake-up, the Nigerian Army has approved the redeployment and appointment of 466 soldiers to the Nigerian Army Depot in Osogbo, Osun State.Travel guides for Nigeria

According to an exclusive posting letter obtained by SaharaReporters on Friday, the directive—dated June 5, 2025—was signed by Major General Y. Yahaya, the Army’s Chief of Personnel Management. The affected personnel are expected to resume at their new postings by June 12, 2025.



The letter, issued from the Department of Personnel Management at Army Headquarters.



"The posting and appointment of the above-named MWO (Master Warrant Officer) and 466 others as contained in Annex A is hereby authorised with effect from 12 June 25," the letter partly read.



According to the posting letter, formation and unit commanders were directed to implement the redeployment as instructed, using the promulgation as their official authority.



However, they were also advised to notify the Depot NA Oshogbo and the Department of Personnel Management if any affected soldier was unavailable due to ongoing courses or hospitalisation.



"Where a soldier affected by the posting is unavailable to be released due to course or hospitalisation, his commander is to communicate same to Depot NA Oshogbo and this Department indicating the date the soldier is expected back to unit as applicable," the letter said.

Amara246:
By Oluwatosin Faleye

The heart of man is truly full of wickedness and nowhere is this clearer than in the recent avoidable tragedy that claimed the lives of 21 young athletes from Kano State.

These were vibrant, determined youths who proudly represented their state at the 2024 National Sports Festival in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

On their journey home, after enduring countless challenges to prepare and compete with pride, they died in a horrific accident when their bus plunged off Chiromawa Bridge on the Kano-Zaria Expressway.

*Lives Wasted by Negligence, Not Fate

How could this have happened? How can athletes representing an entire state be subjected to a dangerous 16-hour road trip across 1,028 km, rather than being airlifted like dignitaries, VIPs, or religious pilgrims?

*Where is the value for life.Where is the priority for the future?

A government that fails to protect, yet finds billions for pilgrimages. 

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf approved a ₦1.45 billion subsidy for 2,900 pilgrims to Saudi Arabia—₦500,000 each for a religious exercise. 

Yet, the same government could not allocate funds to ensure the safe return of the youth representing the state in a national sporting competition.

To add insult to irreversible injury, the government announced a ₦1 million compensation for each bereaved family. But the question is, can ₦1 million replace a life cut short?

Can ₦1 million restore the lost future of a potential Olympic champion?

Would this tragedy have occurred if leadership had put safety over ceremony?

*Critical Questions That Must Be Answered 

Would the Chairman of the Kano State Sports Commission, Umar Bala Fagge, make that same dangerous road trip in that same bus?

Was the bus roadworthy?

Was it newly acquired or an overused death trap?

How many trained drivers were assigned to such a long, high-risk journey?

*Was there any emergency response plan in place?*

These are not rhetorical questions—they are demands. Because young lives have been lost, not to an act of God, but to poor planning, negligence, and a lack of foresight.

...No Public Holiday Can Wipe Away This Shame

Declaring a public holiday is not leadership. Leadership is prevention. Leadership is prioritizing life. Leadership is accountability. Had the state government taken these athletes seriously—as it does pilgrims or politicians—this may never have happened.

Enough of the Lip Service—We Demand Accountability

The youth are not expendable. The glory they sought to bring to Kano has now turned into grief. The government must do more than issue condolences—it must answer, act, and prevent.

This is not just a tragedy for Kano. This is a tragedy for Nigeria.

Accident can still happen with air transport, remember the Indian plane crash.

The major point is that successive leaders expecially in the north failed in providing and maintaining standard infrastructural facilities in that region

God never changes,he's the same today, tomorrow and forever.

Isreal is still the same, just that much development has taken place

Forkthiefnubu:
Boy this is not going as well as I tot for the Israelis , until Benjamin Netanyahu is removed , there will be no peace in Middle East, he is a criminal and a war monger , endangering the lives of millions , talks were still on and u start a war and Iranians can never ever use nuclear bomb on any one off

This is not about Benjamin Netanyahu but a global war against terrorism

Edusouls:
Israel is in trouble closing their embassies worldwide is a sign of that, how long would they hide from the world?

how do you mean that Israel is hiding from the world.

Iran might target their embassy for attack, they are protecting their citizens.

Shedrick:
It’s beyond disgraceful that Nairaland has become a playground for fraudsters — some of them proudly parading Ph.D. levels in deception. Every day, someone is being ripped off, and the moderators sit back as if they’re watching a football match.

I recently came across a post from someone claiming to buy Reddit accounts. The user goes by the name Ayhisha — claiming to be female, but based on our WhatsApp conversation, it’s clearly a guy. Fake identity, fake intent — all designed to scam.

We agreed on a token sum: ₦6,000. Nothing major — barely enough for data in today’s Nigeria. But this scammer — someone using an iPhone and a laptop — was desperate enough to scam me over six thousand naira. Shameful doesn’t even cut it.

Because the amount was small and I assumed good faith, I sent the Reddit login after sharing my bank details. He couldn't log in at first due to my Gmail connection, so I disconnected it and reset the password. The moment he logged in, he:

Changed the password

Changed the connected email

Set up 2FA to lock me out

Then he had the audacity to lie that the password didn’t work.

What he didn’t realize? I was still logged into one session — and watching everything he did. He didn’t log out active sessions. So I acted. I switched the login IP to a location Reddit doesn’t support. Within minutes, the account was automatically suspended.

Let’s be clear: This is not about ₦6k. This is about principle. This is about the level of rot eating deep into what should be Nigeria’s largest online community.

We now have intellectually bankrupt scammers who think ₦6k fraud is smart hustle. Is this the future Nairaland is promoting?

I am recovering my account, but this person — and others like him — need to be exposed. His WhatsApp number is:
+234 810 348 8637
(And yes, he likely uses others.)

If any moderator still has their integrity intact, this post won’t be deleted. It will be pinned, investigated, and used to warn others.

Don't blame nairaland and the moderators.

There's a coveat which states that;

Never send money to anyone under any guise

Don't give out your phone,bvn,nin and account number to anyone.

But out of stubbornness, most of you disregard these warning.

And when you fall victim to a scammer, you will now come out complaining.

There is no social media platform that doesn't have dishonest people.

Sirchiboy:
Just asking to know because of the plane crash and if not why cant engineer build such thing or even have fire department inside plane

All vehicles including aeroplanes,trains and ships have fire extinguishers inside,in case of fire outbreak.

As for aeroplanes,it is usually as a result of the crash and explosion that results in fire outbreak just like a motor vehicle.

So,in such a panicky situation, you can't expect a dead or injured person to use a fire extinguisher to put off the fire.

The only way out is for fire fighters to help put out the fire.

hisexcellency34:
A lawyer said the presidential pardon is not needed. Case closed

It now means that Ibori is free to contest for any elective positions in Nigeria.

James Onanefe Ibori is a Nigerian citizen, although he served jail termed in the UK,the president of Nigeria can still grant him a presidential pardon if so wish.

He is loved by his people up till this day and he is like a rallying point politically in the state

Poverty is a disease that kills faster than accident

lordm:
Because they are not your family members. Even the plane crash can be avoided if the mechanism were properly checked. All I mean is people are dying here as well. Let's solve our immediate problems too

Aeroplane can develop fault at anytime which can lead to accident,it cannot be avoided.

It is wrong to compare the two scenario, while one is an accident and the other is political.

This you must know, those killings are politically motivated,it's not incidental as the Indian plane crash

lordm:
So many people have die in benue state as well. Let's bring those to limelight as well

The deaths in Benue can be avoided and nipped in the bud while the Indian plane crash is an accident

Disease doesn't kill an African man, moreover, there's hunger in the land

fitinwell:
Shocks shock me... When i see teenagers in public schools,.. using Iphones.. and high end andriod phones...

The shock na serious ,.. shock...

The percentage of teenagers not using high end phones ... Is about 1% of the populance..

You are absolutely correct,but where and how are they getting this money to afford these gadgets.

They are into all kinds of dishonest dealings in order to live large like their peers

Kaycee9242:
Why are they always making this kind of carless mistake? Is it that they don't go through their lists thoroughly? This Was how Buhari appointed dead man into cabinet that year

The truth is that in the civil service and governance in Nigeria, they never do clean and thorough job, even in looting, they still make mistakes

There are mistakes everywhere,done, knowingly and unknowingly

fitinwell:
In Nigeria our country Education is for the elite in the society not for everyone.. If u like don't believe....it

The passion to make this Money , buy expensive jewelries, spend on baddies , buy benz... Is what is reigning among teenagers today....

The urge to become a doctor, engineer died since democracy started in Nigeria..

Do you know why it's like this,

Hardwork no longer pays because the young ones sees a politician that is not even educated because he is connected he's given a position by a godfather

They see public office holders looting public funds and going away with it without being probed or jailed.

Those that went to school and became professionals were living from hand to mouth.

It's the value system.

illicit:
Better than bomb, gun or human part tho...

Those that uses bombs,guns and deals on human parts are more often under the influence of drugs(Indian hemp inclusive)

But the irony of it all is that the law enforcement agents knows the real dealers but the wont apprehend them, because of money (bribe).

This lad must be working for someone.

illicit:
Better than bomb, gun or human part tho...

Those that uses bombs,guns and deals on human parts are more often under the influence of drugs(Indian hemp inclusive)

Good move,if others before him can do some bits as he had done then by now the place would have been developed.

He looked young,we need young brain and mind in governance.

Half of the numbers of people honoured were dead.This shows that your service and contributions to the country is never recognized when one is alive.

Hezzyluv:
There's no smoke without fire. Let them investigate before humiliating her.

Bit the CCTV camera captures her.
Did they need another proof or investigation or is it to check her mental health

ubimagos:
More of a house fellowship gathering than protest!

Holding a PLACARD is a protest.what is written on the placard is the message and the purpose

Protest is not the destruction of properties, blocking of roads and disorderliness

Houseofglam7:
They are well within their rights to protest. But the question is….after the protest, what next??

All these protest might not bring immediate change,but it does a lot.

It is better than silence, which means acceptance

The whole world are watching,the youths,who are the future leaders are watching.

Posterity will vindicate them

A worthy son is always a pride to the parents, family and community.

Every man's mother see the child's wife as a competitor while the daughters husband as a giver and another son added to her children.

Urgent1Million:
Only if you knew that your chances of achieving any of the things you listed depend on money.
But of course you had a better upbringing and environment than I did, so enjoy your
i. long life without money
ii. good health without money
iii. access to good education without money
iv. marital life and take care of your children without money.

You see, your wisdom is really phenomenal.

You missed my point here,it's not all about a better upbringing or living in a better environment,it's all about the value system that is prevalent there.

Money doesn't give you long live,if it does,the billionaires would have been living longer lives than the poor.

Visit the hospital and you will see wealthy people there who are ready to exchange their money to get good health but it isn't possible.

You must not be wealthy to be educated as the the children of the poor are more intelligent that of the wealthy.

Many doesn't have the opportunity to get married even with the money they have,some did,but nothing came out of it.

Please take note of all these
