HellVictorinho9:
I dont only seek sympathy

I also seek understanding

how

HellVictorinho9:




I honestly don't know what i should do now or even later and all the people asking of my location have refused to visit me.

Most of those that asked of my phone number never called me.

I am not sure of what to expect and it seems i should have died many
years ago.



What sort of whatever is this

you always curry for sympathy each time you post here,do no base your life on sympathy.

Find something to keep you busy and stop replying on people, human being will fail you but put your trust on God and you will be all right

Which truth?

Would those minors be actually sentenced to death?

why on the defensive when the trials have not been concluded.

Didn't you read the charges against them

helinues:
The person who wrote this bunkum is just too slow and petty

how, for exposing the truth

Bentacur007:
The person wrote rubbish

why do you people hate to hear the truth, that is why your government is treating you like trash cans

Twenty-nine children could be facing the death penalty in Nigeria after they were arraigned Friday for participating in a protest against the country’s record cost-of-living crisis. Four of them collapsed in court due to exhaustion before they could enter a plea.

A total of 76 protesters were charged with 10 felony counts, including treason, destruction of property, public disturbance and mutiny, according to the charge sheet seen by The Associated Press.

According to the charge sheet, the minors ranged in age from 14 to 17 years old.

Frustration over the cost-of-living crisis has led to several mass protests in recent months. In August, at least 20 people were shot dead and hundreds more were arrested at a protest demanding better opportunities and jobs for young people.

The death sentence was introduced in the 1970s in Nigeria, but there have been no executions in the country since 2016.


Akintayo Balogun, a private lawyer based in Abuja, said the Child Rights Act does not allow any child to be subject to criminal proceedings and sentenced to death.

“So taking minors before a federal high court is wrong, ab initio, except if the government is able to prove that the boys are all above 19 years,” Balogun said.


“A country that has a duty to educate its children will decide to punish those children. These children have been in detention for 90 days without food,” Abubakar said.

Yemi Adamolekun, executive director of Enough is Enough, a civil society organization promoting good governance in Nigeria, said authorities have no business prosecuting children.

“The chief justice of Nigeria should be ashamed, she is a woman and a mother,” Adamolekun said.

Despite being one of the top crude oil producers in Africa, Nigeria remains one of the world’s poorest countries. Chronic corruption means the lifestyle of its public officials rarely mirrors that of the general population. Medical professionals often strike to protest meager wages.

The country’s politicians and lawmakers, often accused of corruption, are some of the best-paid in Africa. Even the president’s wife — her office nowhere in the constitution — is entitled to SUVs and other luxuries funded by taxpayers.

Nigeria’s population of over 210 million people — the continent’s largest — is also among the hungriest in the world and its government has struggled to create jobs. The inflation rate is also at 28-year high and the local naira currency at record lows against the dollar.

On Thursday, Nigeria was classified as a “hotspot of very high concern,” in a report from United Nations’ food agencies, as large numbers of people are facing or are projected to face critical levels of acute food insecurity in the West African country.

…Demand N50 million ransom for Military Officer’s release

Barely two days after the Niger State House of Assembly raised the alarm over the occupation of a military training camp at the Nagwamase military cantonment in Kontagora, a top military officer serving in the cantonment has been abducted by gunmen.

The military officer, according to a reliable source was abducted on Wednesday from his farm around the bush where the bandits are said to be occupying for weeks.


Recalled that, a member of the state House of Assembly, representing Kontagora 11, Hon. Abdullahi Isah had on Tuesday on the floor of the House disclosed that the terrorists had taken over the military training camp in Kontagora and that 23 communities within the training camp have been forced to abandon their homes.

This was as the Nigerian Army through the Director of Public Relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu on Wednesday refuted the claims and described it as “untrue and calculated to incite unnecessary panic in the neighbourhood”.

However, a very reliable source told newsmen that the abductors of the military officer had demanded N50 million ransom for his release.

The bandits also abducted nine people from Masaha in Madera ward, one of the 23 communities that have been sacked due to the activities of the gunmen.

It was gathered that three out of the nine men who were picked from their farms were killed by their abductors midway into their journey and their bodies abandoned in the bush.

Confirming the attacks, Ibrahim Enagi, eldest son of one of the victims, the late Alhaji Alhassan Usman Enagi, told our Correspondent that his late father was abducted on his way back from the farm.


According to him, “My father was shot by the bandits after he complained that he was tired and could not continue the journey. Three of them were killed and their bodies were abandoned in the bush.

“it was those who managed to escape from the bandits that came to tell us that my father and two other persons were killed because they complained of tiredness during their journey in the bush”

Meanwhile, the bandits said to be numbering well over 50 were said to have blocked the Minna-Kontagora highway on Thursday, leaving motorists and commuters scrambling for their lives.


According to our source, the bandits blocked the highway about 15 kilometres from Kontagora and operated for over one hour.

As of the time of filing this report, details of their (Bandits) operation are yet unknown and no response by the military.

Has President Tinubu Marginalised Other Ethnic Groups To Favour Yorubas?

Recently, some disgruntled politicians, principally failed Presidential candidates, have sponsored a spate of articles trying to paint the Tinubu administration as tribalistic, and lopsided in favour of the Lukumi Yoruba people of the Southwest.

In their desperate attempts to provoke a military coup, which is their ultimate goal, these elements have carefully and manipulatively curated all the positions occupied by persons of Southwest origin without balancing those held by persons from other geopolitical zones in order to paint a picture that does not exist.

It is just as the British philosopher and politician George Canning said, "I can prove anything by statistics except the truth".

But, let us focus on what cannot lie. Let us face facts.

We will begin with the military, paramilitary and security services.

In addition to the Ministry of Defence, Nigeria has a total of twenty security and law enforcement agencies, including the Office of the National Security Adviser, the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Airforce, the Nigerian Navy, the Nigerian Police Force, the Department of State Security, the Nigerian Intelligence Agency, the Defence Intelligence Agency, the Nigerian Immigration Service, the Nigerian Customs Service, the Nigerian Correctional Service ( formerly known as the Nigerian Prison Service), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Federal Road Safety Commission, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, the Federal Fire Service and the National Youth Service Corp, which unknown to most Nigerians is actually a reserve force that can be called up during emergencies.

The question is this: Of these twenty security and law enforcement agencies, how many are headed by persons of Lukumi Yoruba origin from the Southwest? The answer is only five: the Nigerian Army, the Police, Customs, the DSS, and the EFCC.

Their sponsored missive included the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap. But though she is Yoruba, her husband is from Plateau. According to the Federal Character Commission Establishment Act of 2010, she has a choice between choosing her father's state or her husband's state as her state of origin, and she was appointed based on Plateau being her husband's state.

So, are these failed Presidential candidates and their agents telling Nigeria that by appointment, on merit, I might add, of just five persons of Southwest origin President Tinubu is favouring the Lukumi Yorubas and creating a hegemony in our security services? Five out of twenty?

If that is their argument, what would they say about the immediate past regime of President Muhammadu Buhari, where the leaders of the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary, as well as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Chief of Staff to the President, the heads of the Defence Ministry, Attorney General of the Federation, Army, Police, NSA, DSS, NIA, DMI, DIA, NPS, NCS, NIS and EFCC, were all simultaneously Northern Muslim men?

Or what would they say about Peter Obi, who appointed Igbo Christian males as the head of his campaign in Sokoto, Bauchi and Lagos States?

The fact remains that under President Tinubu, our defence architecture is balanced, which is why, for the first time in eight years, we have a person from the Southeast as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the person of the Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla.

Now, let us move on to ministers.

It is constitutionally impossible for any President, no matter how sectional they are, to disregard the Federal Character Commission Act, because constitutionally, they must appoint a minister from every state.

And in their desperation to smear the President, these paid vuvuzelas lied that the Southwest has eleven Ministers. That is not true. And in arriving at that fallacious number, they counted the President himself as the Minister of Petroleum and the Minister from Kwara.

But even taking into account their duplicitous mathematics, the number is still not eleven.

Even worse, in trying to project their lies, these paid writers failed to inform their readers that the North of Nigeria has the bulk of Ministers in the present cabinet, including what may be referred to as the most prized ministries, including both Ministers in the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Agriculture and Police Affairs Ministry.

The truth is that Nigeria is being reformed. Next month, for the first time since Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi abrogated true federalism in Nigeria with his Unification of Assets Decree Number 34 on May 24, 1966, Local Governments are going to receive their funding directly due to the Tinubu administration's judicial victory at the Supreme Court on Thursday, July 11, 2024, which granted autonomy to that tier of government.

Such reforms, and others like the removal of oil receipts from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and handing it to the Central Bank of Nigeria, as well as the removal of fuel subsidy, which has stripped fuel importers and cross-border smugglers of their illicit source of income, has created powerful enemies for the Tinubu administration. These carpet baggers will stop at nothing to try to incite an illegal and undemocratic regime change.

They tried it with the failed Days of Rage protests when they went to military barracks to recruit soldiers and flooded some parts of Nigeria with foreign flags.

Now that those false flag antics have failed, their next antic is to gaslight Nigerians about so-called Yoruba dominance. A dominance that only exists in their jaundiced imaginations and machinations.

helinues:
It's only chronic bitterness that will make one not to celebrate others

Reno already listed what South West states achieved, list what South East achieved without attacking the South West achievements

what achievements are you referring,High IGR without corresponding growth and development aside Lagos state which rode on the back of federal capital

Even with the self acclaimed high internally generated revenue of the south eastern states,it's only LAGOS STATE that has metropolitan cities and towns.

Ekiti,Osun,Ogun, Kwara,Oyo and Ondo cannot boast of any city,even their capitals are nothing to write home about

Comparing these glorified villages with the south south and easthern states is a wrong comparison.Delta state for example has many metropolitan cities and towns ditto Anambra state

What The Rest of Nigeria Can Learn From Lagos and The Southwest

Is it not shameful that with barely any oil, the Southwest generates more Internally Generated Revenue than the South-south and Southeast, which have oil in abundance?

I can see you getting ready to insult. But has insulting taken you to where the Southwest has gotten to by consulting?

The South-south has the most oil in Nigeria, followed by the Southeast. The Southwest is a VERY distant third. Yet, only Lagos alone generates almost as much IGR as the entire South-south and Southeast East combined.

Ogun State alone generates more IGR than the entire Southeast.

Last year, the Southwest generated more than half of the total internally generated revenue of all of Nigeria's 36 states. And it is the only geopolitical zone that can survive without federal allocation.

Compare this with just over 21% for the South-south and only 6.45% for the Southeast. Collectively, the eleven states of the South-south and Southeast generated just half the IGR of the six states of the Southwest. Let that sink in!

Last year, Ogun State alone generated an Internally Generated Revenue of ₦146.88 billion, more than the ₦142.95 billion generated by the five states of the Southeast combined.

Please stop using the excuse that Lagos was a former Federal capital. Lagos stopped being the capital of Nigeria thirty-three years ago in 1991, yet today, Lagos's contribution to Nigeria's GDP is more than double what it was in 1991. Lagos is responsible for 30% of Nigeria's GDP, though it accounts for less than 10% of our population.

Please face-check me: In 1991, Nigeria's GDP was $59.53 billion, and Lagos was responsible for only 10% of that. Today, the GDP of Lagos is $108 billion. Lagos's economy grew faster than the national economy after it stopped being the federal capital. Think about that.

If Lagos was progressing economically because it was the federal capital, as some people who claim to have 'developed' Lagos posit, then why is Abuja not competing with Lagos in terms of contribution to the economy? After all, it had been the capital for thirty-three years.

Rivers, Edo, and other states also have ports. Why are they not like Lagos?

Lagos is progressing because of leadership, not because it is a former federal capital or hosts a port. Without good leadership, Lagos would be just like any other state that has a port.

For example, in these times when oil income is dwindling and states are struggling, Lagos is not complaining. Instead, they are building cutting-edge technology.

They just commissioned the Red Line metro railways to add to the existing Blue Line and are preparing for the Green Line. Their public infrastructure does not depend on PHCN. Lagos built and operates six functional Independent Power Projects that power their infrastructure and utilities.

Lagos also pays the highest minimum wage in Nigeria, even though it has the largest workforce, over 120,000. The workforce of most states in the South-south and Southeast is equivalent to the staff strength of just one local Government in Lagos.

As I have said before, other Nigerian Governments should consider going for tutelage in Lagos to understudy what makes them successful so they can replicate it in their states.

Business is really hard in Nigeria if you are not there 247,
We are too wicked, greedy and dishonest.

Less than a week, I employed this boy o, to manage my gas filling retail business and POS.
He displayed passion, initiative and experience about the gas filling business and handling of POS....so I just took the chance, we also speak same language. I've been acting nice and all but I think I now know why most Nigerian bosses are mean to their workers by default
.
Now from first cylinder we couldn't account for 10kg
Second cylinder was started today by him......when I told him to calculate everything sold from first cylinder based on daily record book ....it felt short of 10kg
.
From the sales from second cylinder that started today, The account book does not tally with what is remitted through ATM/POS mode of payment .....I dint know this until I checked my Moniepoint acct as I got home now cos my phone was dead before I went to the shop this evening
.
Even the POS part of the business does not tally with the cash I gave him this morning for people who need cash withdrawal
.
I'm boiling right now realizing the boy had lied to me when balancing the account this night using the record book, only to get home and power my phone to see cash fell short of 23k in my monie point acct linked to the POS
.
.
How do you handle boys who think they are smarter than you because theyve been in the business before?
.
And what are your experiences with dishonest workers in your business , especially this gas retail business or POS business
.
Modoified: how do I handle this case now....cos my mind is just boiling ....how can a new business fall short of 38k in less than 7 days...

Comments here shows Nigerians are just educated illiterates. Always emotional rather than being rational. Fubara an idiot that he is, instead of taking the assembly members to court for court to sack them, rather he thinks he can just sack them all by himself when clearly he doesn't have such powers. Wike being a smart ass instead opted for the court and he and his group has been winning based on law..how can you present budget to 4 members out of 30?. Isn't that madness when the law even says you need 2/3 to form a quorum.

This is basic common sense at play and even Fubara and his lawyers know they think the anti Wike heavyweights may put pressure on Wike to leave him alone which clearly hadn't been working. Stop blaming judiciary for the bad cases your lawyers present and take responsibility for your foolishness.

Fubara's legal team are not smart

What OBJ did to Lagos wants to play out under Tinubu to Rivers.

obj withheld LG government fund in Lagos state under Tinubu and not state allocation.

By this act,Rivers State will be grounded as the state will be unable to function
