Aisha has shown her true colour . She is woman n no sympathy for the women raped in the bushes all over Nigeria. Shame on Aisha Yousuf

shut up

leadzeal:
He said, “Quite frankly, the governors are at the mercy of federal security agencies to implement certain laws. That was why we asked for state police. In the first instance, it is a constitutional issue and, in the absence of having that, governors in the South West came together and formed Amotekun as a stop-gap measure.”


The above sums it all... What can help the South West from this impending doom is a people's army totally detached from the central government. As long as amotekun makes arrest and hands over the offenders to the police or army, we will continue to experience the menace of herdsmen.

a stitch in time saves nine... Something needs to be done before the Ill wind of banditry erodes the SW region.

And the South East and south south should not be complacent because if this cankerous disease peradventure enflames the SW, the roads that most easterners ply to their home towns especially during festive period will no longer be navigable.

It is time to set apart the differences and put things in place, simply by creating a true people's army. As far as I am concerned, the Nigeria army is the army of the fulanis.

A word is enough for the wise.

simple.send amotekun. The truth is that many of the amotekun are plotical thugs .most don't have the interest of their people at heart. Only in it to cash out

DontBullshitMe:
I support Seyi Makinde's position.

Sunday Igboho is an illiterate. Why on earth will he be in charge of handling any internal security outfit??

you must be very stupid. Call your educated father that is hiding under his wife wrapper to come and lead. Education as nothing to do with protection of ones people

rossoki:
You would be surprised that the cost of reviving Ajaokuta and using its steel, and then getting a South African firm to supply coaches would be TWICE or even THRICE higher than that China solution.

I've personally tried to use South African firms to supply certain machinery etc, but dropped them after discovering they were charging nearly double of what the Chinese were charging, including shipping.

China has achieved what we call Economies of Scale in manufacturing and civil engineering and construction. They can do many things for a very low price, and that is why countries all over the world, not just Nigeria, are attracted to Chinese solutions.

In any case the Chinese are building a massive railway manufacturing plant in Ogun state that will employ over 5,000 Nigerians, so it's not as if we're not looking to be self-sufficient down the line.

Chinese firm to build first rolling stock assembly plant in Nigeria

mind you we don't need $10 billion to bring back ajaokuta.we don't even need up to $6bn. Mind you cost saving we would get from the various rail projects would be enormous couple with the fact that we would be able to to utilize the steel for local production and also for export which would help a lot with foreign exchange .it will help in making us self reliant the cost of reviving ajaokuta out ways the current arrangements with buying all things from china.

ignis:
Black man mentality never cease to amaze me. If the money used in building this correctional facility prison is used in building factories and industries that will create job for the people, the rate of crime and consequently the number of potential inmates will drastically reduce.

irrespective of how many jobs that may be available.some will still choose the ignoble path of crime.There will still be violence irrespective of how well a country is.Therefore correctional facilities will always be in need.Even the developed countries are building.The most important part I feel should be the commitment of government to reform those who are unfortunate to find them selves there there .It will also help in decongesting the over populated ones.
However yahoo boys criminals and most especially the unfortunate innocent ones may likely find themselves there

rossoki:
US Annual budget - 7.6 trillion dollars.

Nigeria Annual budget - 35 billion dollars.

''Plenty of money'' indeed.

Ignorant dunce.

You lack even basic knowledge of the budget and finances vis-a-vis other nations, yet you are telling us 'what we must do' in Nigeria.

Only on nairaland.

Meanwhile, California is planning to build a railway line from LA to San Fransisco at the cost of 98 billion dollars. Ask them if they're planning to use WOOD to build it like their 18th century forbears?

https://www.governing.com/archive/gov-5-biggest-us-infrastructure-projects-plus-5-at-risk.html

your talk is not reasonable
Amount of money spend on a thing is relative. You can choose to go spend your money on rolls-royce of trains while I choose to spend mine on Toyota of trains. Americans spend much on infrastructure yet they don't have speed-bullet trains like the Chinese.Many of the American train system is outdated.
With little amount you can still achieve much
The problem is everything thing need for train development is already available in Nigeria.
We choose not to develop them.
The money spent on the railway tracks could have been use to revive ajaokuta.which in turn would produce the steel needed for the tracks. There is a company in South Africa that makes coaches.which would have been willing to bring it's expertt to Nigeria and setup. Even the NRC has local capacity to build coaches.its not rocket science.
We are a stuip bunch of people.always importing what we have

10minutes:
because we dont have the money.

Not true. We lack grumption. Ajaokuta steel industries as the ability to provide Nigeria with as many railway tracks steel needed.
The aluminum smelting industry in akwa ibom as enough material to provide for the making of the coaches.
We have enough mountains and rock to provide the gravels needed.
We have dangote and lafarge to provide the cement.
The most important ingredient need is we have the greedy politicians and clueless leadership to ensure that all above does not work for selfish gains

Arewa247:
WE ARE CALLING UNTO NIMC TO URGENTLY CHANGE THE REGISTRATION CENTER OR WE WILL CHANGE ALL OUR REGISTRATION CENTERS TO MOSQUE.

go ahead

Biodun556:
It insensitive for NIMC to establish a registration center in the premises of a religious organization without giving alternative to others in the same locality.

When it comes to intolerance, Christians are number 1 in Nigeria.

ok we hear you. Can a christian lady watering a jeans trouser or shorts enter into a Islamic mosque without consequence.tell a lady to go inside a teblik worship center with open hair and western dressing. Explain the matter.

southniyikaye:
They are all mad!!!
Kidnapping
Banditry
Boko haram
No be their handwork?
How many boko haram members are igbo or yoruba.

So you mean people should leave fire on their roof and sleep hennnn?
No naw, o wrong mhen

They can rent houses and pay tax like normal human beings does..
They are not animals so why are they living in the bush?

And to that idiot that said easterners and westerners live freely in the north, shey na inside bush dem dey live? Didn't they rent houses and pay tax like humans does?

God bless you.the truth is always bitter. They will try to justify why they live in the bush that has been synonymous with killing people without traces.Staying in the bush give them the ability to strike and get away. Animals leave in bushes .Sane people leave on houses.

Exc2000:
Blame Ambode for total neglect and zero funding

shut up .get your facts.

ednut1:
A project that commenced since 2009. Lagosians, Lagos Assembly, EFCC, ICPC and others are not asking questions or demanding answers. What exactly is going on

I wonder

NnadyAutos:
If actually sex party was to take place in that hotel,the Governor did very well by demolishing the hotel. And I know before demolition there must be evidence.

what's the big deal about sex.many of you are just hypocrites.Your sexual fantasies are more vivid than many. You hide under various religious or societal norms to give a very holier than thou attitude as regards sex. What's the business of the property being destroyed and sex.We are supposed to be in a secular state. The sad thing is many of these people claiming holy tend to have perverse sexual orientation

NnadyAutos:
If actually sex party was to take place in that hotel,the Governor did very well by demolishing the hotel. And I know before demolition there must be evidence.

You are very stupid for saying such. You said "if". Sex parties go on in Nigeria in various forms such as striper's night etc .I strongly hare such.but destroying a person's building without strong evidence is total rubbish.
What if tommorow someone comes with a poster detailing such with either the Government lodge or Elrufia's house as the venue on social media,would he command them to go and demolish it.

Ikengawo:
Anytime something happens between Fulanis someone will come and say that the fulanis can retaliate in the north. If you don't know, fulanis are immigrants to the north the way Igbos and Yorubas are immigrants to the north. They are no more native to the north than they are to Bayelsa. In fact they are clashing the same non-sense clashes in the north with natives as well.

A widening conflict between herdsmen and farmers is redefining Nigeria’s geopolitics

you are correct

THROWBACK: In 2014 Bishop Kukah Criticised Nigerians For Criticising Government Calling Them Cynics

Nigerians love to criticize their country perhaps far more than any nation I know of in the world. Yes, we have all earned the right to be cynical and even contemptible about the way we have been governed, and about how the resources of our nation have been frittered away mindlessly.

“I am even more amused by the criticisms of some of our brethren in the Diaspora especially those who think that simply being abroad has set them apart from their fellow countrymen and women, those who believe that those of us who are here are so because we are not good enough to be abroad.

“… It is about time we took off the gloves and speak honestly to ourselves about our future as a country, our mistakes, our fears, anxieties and deep hope. We are not the worst people on earth nor is our country the worst piece of God’s real estate. We have to seize this narrative and re-define ourselves…

[b]The measure of the greatness of a people or even individuals is based on how or where they stand in moments of trials and tribulations. Nigeria is going through such a phase now. Since the outbreak of the tragedy that is Boko Haram, one has seen another side of our citizens that is quite tragic. Rather than trying to stand together to rise beyond this in hope together, I find some of my fellow citizens creating more confusion and using the insurgency as weapons of politics.

“…The President and the security agencies have become the objects of attacks and vilification and yet, there is very little that is being done to point at the way forward. I know that as day follows night, we shall pull out of this tragedy that we face as a nation. But the least we can do is to stand in the comforts of highways and homes that someone else constructed and thrown stones at ourselves and our people simply because we are living off someone else’s sweat.”

Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah speaking at a lecture organized by the members of the Pyrates Confraternity to mark the 80th Birthday anniversary of Nigeria’s Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka in 2014. [/b]

Cc. Mynd44 lalasticala

I guess you didn't read what you post properly.did you attend Mai mangoro secondary school?

roundman:
Chiefof defense staff is from Ekiti,the chief Navy staff is from Cross Rivers.

The chief of army staff holds more operational power than 10 chief of defence staff put together. The Chief of Defence staff is more of an advicesory position to the presidency on military issues. Go check the constitution. As regards the chief of naval staff.its usually a position use to compensate the southerners when glaring inequalities is power balance are visible

Simplyleo:
Op, Buhari is tribalistic.

If he is not, the statistics would have been:

North East: 2%
North west: 1%
North central: 3%
South West: 4%
South South: 5%
South East: 85%

This is how it should have been so we know he is not a tribalist.

Very funny people. They will only keep quiet if they are getting more than their fair share. Give them the same way you give others, they start shouting bias.

For instance, check the people with the highest beneficiaries of unity college, but they are still shouting on top their voice because some people other than them are still in the colleges.

the issue is not about quantity but quality. Imagine all key military and security apparatus, including key economic position are all given to a section of the country while others are given toothless positions in large quantities. It's just like comparing 1 house in banana island to 200 houses in ajegunle.

Perfectsouth:
Are you OK right now?

He his not

greatiyk4u:
I spent 12years at kukurupu

Then you should know the truth.

chiefolododo:
Fayemi should contest for HOR , AJAYI don't allow anyone to use you, don't let your name enter blackbook

The black book you created.its people like you that shout in your area that the godfather's don't allow others without their anointing contest.but ever ready to prevent those that are willing from contesting.Tinubu should not be afraid of competition.

Abalado:
The same Fayemi that failed his own/my own state ,how can he not fail Nigerians,, Fayemi is such an ingrate challenging Tinubu,a man who made him to become he is today,, Fayemi a failure,,

can you explain who an ingrate is. You people just go along with your wrong assumptions without knowing the facts.everybody is welcome to contest.its what democracy is all about. Fayemi or any person has a rigth to contest just like tinubu.if the party members feel fayemi has a better plan in Fixing the issues than tinubu they are free to nominate him same for tinubu.
.You point on fayemi being a failure.shows you are already prejudiced towards fayemi. You claim fayemi failed his state . please tell me in what way.you by him paying outstanding salaries of over 8-10 months owed by previous government recruiting workers,fixng roads etc. Please tell me what is expected by a state that is second to the last interns of allocation.Or do you mean his a failure by bringing over $80m investment into the state via companies like dangote, stallion FMS etc. Tell me how many investment previous administrations in the past brought.
Many of you ascribe what Tinubu is not to him. Or do you want to talk about lagos with it's Government of touts.

TheGoodJoe:
I don't understand what you mean by buying people's conscience.

It is clearly known that the rate of poverty is very high in the country and that is largely due to lack of jobs.

All I have seen donated there to you look like buying consciences but I see micro businesses to support households.

A lot of ladies will use those hairdryers to start small hair businesses, even if it is in their homes. The machines will favour young men and women to start sewing and branch into fashion designing. The bikes will certainly go a long way in the rural areas, hoping the ongoing road construction goes fast in that region.

The cars will help in mini urban transportation. We are not even talking about the digital skills training that will take place.

I think the Rep member deserves credit for what he has done. While we pray he exceeds these in the coming years.

If one house member can gainer such funds to accuire these. Which would definitely not be up to 3% of what he or she is currently stealing from the Commonwealth. We all know Nigerian politician's can't spend more than 3% of their stolen monies on the electorate. Com to imagine what the remaining 400plus would have stolen ?. Please do the maths. In real sense we don't need all this so called powerment. What we need is good governance. That cares about providing basic needs of the people to help them pursue their various economic enterprise
They would give them vehicle and okada with bad roads. Sewing machines without economic viable customers to bring the clothes for sewing. It's all rubbish at the long run. Go around and look at how many have been empowered over the long run that are still using these stuff,mind you even those the so-called empowerment would be given to are in most cases party faithfuls who don't need what they get . plumber would get sewing machine .lol

greatiyk4u:
You are uninformed

have you been to hawul LGA. I spent over 3 years transversing the Northeast. I rest my case with people like you

ProudBornoBoy:
Garkida is, But Hawul LGA has a higher percentage of Muslim than Christian but that isn't important, We all live peacefully with each other.

That's a big lie. It's not something you need to argue about. Despite the inflated census figures. It has more christians than Muslims. I don't know why you want to claim otherwise.many towns in the north eastern part are like these. Take mubi for example. To an ordinary person ,they tend to think it's more Muslim populated ,but that's not the case. Hawul is part of Biu

what of damaturu i heard there are clshes there as well

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so sophisticated

This Orji uzo has now been trending badly
Everything he does, is a trend including visiting someone for non political reasons

someone that all evidence pointed out he stole. Was only released not because he did not steal but that the judge was not suppose to conclude a case he was almost done with because he was elevated . Nigeria

An SOS call, they came from Garkida in Adamawa State.
