DefHQ: The newly deployed State Director of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Katsina State, Abdulsalam Badamasi, has said that drug supply from the south is one of the major factors responsible for the security challenges experienced in the state.
Mr. Badamasi, during a courtesy call to Governor Aminu Bello Masari at the state’s Government House, pledged to use his wealth of experience in the drug field to mitigate the menace of drug abuse in the state.
The state Director of NAFDAC said he was in the government house to inform Masari about the agency’s lined up programme towards mitigating drug abuse in the state.
According to Badamasi, under his watch, only wholesome regulated products would be allowed to thrive.
He equally pledged to join hands with sister agencies and security outfits to decimate to the barest minimum the menace of drugs in the state.
While thanking Masari for the cooperation and regular support NAFDAC enjoys in the state, Badamasi said there is need to embark on mass public enlightenment in schools to sensitise students on the consequences of drug abuse.
He further said as part of plans to win the war against drug abuse in the state, the agency will be partnering with the state government to develop and promote Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) in Katsina State by creating enlightenment through mass media campaigns to empower intending entrepreneurs with the right information.
To that effect, the state NAFDAC boss, appealed to the governor for free weekly slots on the state radio and television to enable the agency actualise this goal.
He equally, appealed for supportive vehicles from the state government to enable the agency engaged in door to door enlightenment as the one the agency has is not enough to cover the state’s 34 local government effectively.
“Your Excellency Sir, I want to assure you that I will do my best to ensure that only wholesome regulated products such as package food and drugs are provided for Katsina people to consume and I will also ensure that I collaborate with other security organisations and other related bodies in the state to ensure that we mitigate the issue of drug abuse in the state because drugs are behind most of the bandits attrocities and other insecurity challenges we are experiencing in Katsina.
“A normal person cannot just wakeup and begin to kill his fellow human beings except under the influence of drugs.
“I have been privilege to work with NAFDAC for over 20 years and I have been working virtually in all parts of the federation. I have been to lots of places.
“In order to achieve that, your Excellency Sir, we have to embark on mass public enlightenment in our schools, that is the secondary schools and even our tertiary institutions as well, so as to sensitize our children on the dangers associated with drug abuse.
“We sincerely appreciate all the support that NAFDAC has been enjoying from its inception to date in Katsina State during your regime and other regimes that came before yours.
“In the same vein, I wish to assure you that we will give our maximum cooperation as regards issue of MSME development. NAFDAC is a critical stakeholder especially in the ease of doing business.
“So we will be partnering with the state investment promotion council to see that all these MSME intending entrepreneurs are encouraged to come and register their products with NAFDAC.
“So we want to use our local media especially the state radio and television to present certain programmes as enlightenment.
“Your Excellency, as you are aware, there is financial constraints everywhere. We may not be able to sponsor such programmes so I want to appeal to your Excellency to allow us or to give us the privilege of using the state media, the radio and television to present perhaps weekly programmes about enlightenment about NAFDAC activities in the state,” Badamasi said.
In his response, Governor Masari assured the agency of the state government’s cooperation while emphasising particularly on MSME development which he described as the backbone of any society.
it would be stupid for people to believe shaibu is fighting for the masses, after all obaseki as saved public funds by not paying the cabinet for almost a year.��
There are sea ports in South South but FG is subjugating them for that of Lagos to strive. If the issue of state collecting VAT scale through, Lagos State will feel the heat. It is a fish hook for them. It will lead to total revamping of the ports in Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Delta and even oil companies being directed to take their headquarters to the Niger Delta region. True federalism will kill Lagos State to an extent but Lagos is not seeing it from that angle.
By the way, I'm from Delta, Nigeria. We have the third best IGR, and most times, highest FAAC allocation
keep complaining, Lekki deep seaport is almost ready.
Russia invents a suit that protects victims of bomb explosion. the suit has leather that are far stronger than bullet proof. it protects the victims from shock waves and objects that are produced from bomb explosion.
it was first tested by a female stunt performer (Viktoria kolesnikova) who specializes in taking risk based on her kind of work.
with this new invention Russia is now one step ahead of every other country
Believe Russian tech at your own Mercy.Most of recent Russian tech advances have been much of hype in the military sphere. From the SU57 to the new checkmate jet,from the so-called Avangard declared operational but still undergoing testing to their new S500
Kelf2016: Few weeks after celebration of his birth day , Engineer Dare Bankole has taken to orphanage & Motherless Baby's home to donate items worth thousands of naira to improve the social welfare of the facility in commemoration of his 2021 birthday anniversary
The Otunba Atadese of Orangun land who celebrated his birthday on the 13th day of June amidst public accolades could not participate in any birthday events organised by his admirers and followers due to his indisposition.
However, he choses today to identify with less privileges especially children who have no parent as a way of giving back to society and showcasing his gratitude to almighty God who according to him is worth his appreciation for how far he has taken him .
Some of the items delivered through Nigerian Red Cross Society , a humanitarian organisation recognized by Nigerian govt include Bags of rice , packs of noodles , bottled water , packs of fruit wines, carbonated drinks and cash donations .
Engineer Dare Bankole is a Chieftain of PDP in Kwara state and a core loyalist of former President of Nigerian Senate , Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, CON who is the leader of the party in Kwara state
Speaking on behalf of the organization , Mrs Helen Olawale of Lagos chapter of Red Cross Society thanked Engineer Dare Bankole for choosing to identify with helpless children in commemoration of his birthday, she enjoined other notable People whom God had blessed in the land to consider reaching out to the facility .
Engineer Dare, an Aiyedun-born Technocrat cum Politician is the House-of-Rep candidate of PDP in the last general elections slated to represent Irepodun, Isin Ekiti and oke ero federal Constituency , one of the federal Constituencies in Kwara south Senatorial district .
they only go about motherless babies home when the political season commences only to donate some few boxes of indomie while trying to give an impression of what they have been doing. The sad thing is the inodime they always parade would be made to look like what would feed the children for the next 5yrs. Bunch of yeye politicians
Praxis758: This case is now divided into two parts. Kanu's defence team will drag FG into how and where he was arrested.
I'm sure it'll be a technical loophole that his lawyers will leverage on to go as far as ECOWAS, AU, EU and UN.
I'm not supporting NK, but diplomatic means must be followed while treating a matter like this. Those international and continental bodies will see us as a country without respect for diplomatic principles in repatriating fugitives.
This case is a good specimen to test our laws because it is now in clear conflict with international laws. We all know Kanu is a fugitive, but the details of how he was brought back should not be shrouded in secrecy and his defence team will really drag the FG in that area.
the same stuff is happening to Belarus. Once the country is detected and discovered to have legally broken international laws.it becomes a new ball game
KillMNKnow: Don't fool yourself Farooq, the US will not deport you because your name is Farooq. you're trying so hard to make your green card relevant like Aisha yesufu. Hypocrites you and Aisha can stop been Muslims openly. For God sake you live in US and UK, people in Nigeria becoming atheist without any confrontation with the community. Fcking hypocrites. irrelevant people becoming nuisance because our society are addicted to news.....
All this because of Alcohol. The US prohibited Alcohol in 1933. They still do prohibit president, military, police, pilots, etc from drinking alcohol. All over the globe, People are running away from Alcohol. Sobriety is the new Cool. Y'all hate us because we don't do Alcohol, gambling, prostitution etc
it shows if you have the opportunity you can cause this man bodily harm for saying what he believes. You are no different from the hizbah ,he was talking about
NigeriaZoo: So fvcking what ? If terrorists speaking French and wearing Nigerian military uniform can carry arms, why can’t freedom fighters be fully armed to protect their land ?
If Fulani Herdsmen can carry sophisticated weapons and have been murdering their way from Plateau State to the South, why can’t freedom fighters be fully armed to protect their women and children ?
God punish Boohairy and his terrorist cabal, his Jihad will fail very badly and very soon.
they have never caugth and seize such amount of guns from the killer herdsmen.
So you have all this intelligence yet your ancestors lost Ilorin ( a yoruba territory) to a bunch of turban wearing Fulani teenagers? Yorubandits and their proclivity for self-gloating sha
some of you talked about the afonja war with ño understanding of historical facts. That loosing Ilorin with to smaller Fulani forces and winning oshogbo which had a larger Fulani force is a question many of you have never asked. Ilorin was lost because the indigenous people were made to believe the new found religion was the way. And decided to sabotage all efforts . Mind you the head was afonja who had all the military strategist with him.Also point of corrections to the erroneous falacies you guys carry about on nairaland. Afonja won the war not the fulanis. The fulanis were only able to topple him after the war when they knew he was already weakened and that they did not because they are militarily strong,but because they used his trusted men and officers to remove him from power for not being pious enough. So some story you people say is called fabu.
Yorubas are simply an amazing people with an established and great past. Today we are one of the most successful, innovative and prominent ethnic group in Africa.
If the Yoruba had their own nation, free of the encumbrance of Nigeria, then I think we would today compare favourably with the likes of Singapore and UK.
Human resources make nations great. Fact. Yorubas have probably the best and most well-rounded reserve of human resources in Africa. Fact.
I agree with what you and reno have said, but there is an existential threat to the greatness of the Yorubas, which will start manifesting in the next couple of years if things are not properly taken care of. We tend to ignore this aspect that has been creeping upon us as a people. we are living on past glory. Our youths, that are meant to carry forth the success story are failing. though some are still trying. We are gradually losing our omoluabi's etos. All these caused by some destructive external interference and above all the stupid and destructive political sets currently ravaging the southwest enabled by their political hoodlums and unions. They are currently killing qualitative education across the land and producing a crop of tuwale generation.
"Today I managed to get a more clearer pictures of the Bandits that surrendered their weapons to Katsina State government."
I really cant see the so called bandits. all i can see are arms dealers who brought their wares for an expo and would take it back after the trade fair.
its a big shame if this man is the face of the religion he claims to represent. Would the iranians or saudi Government Negotiate with the Bandits ,to me he his clearly becoming part of the Team

Not everyone with a Yoruba name is Yoruba. From ancient Greece to modern times, half-blood people have been disloyal and caused great division to their homeland. The full blood Yoruba citizens should be wary of people with Yoruba names that are not really Yoruba, but disguised as Yoruba just to undermine Yorubaland and attack our political leadership from within.
What does it mean to be full blood and half blood Yoruba?
An individual whose two parents are Yoruba is a full-blooded Yoruba.
A person having only one parent as Yoruba is a half blood Yoruba.
Half blood Yoruba, especially those with contaminated blood from Ißo and Fulani like to think of themselves as unified agents in Nigeria. They want to control Yorubaland and assume consensus on behalf of the entire Yoruba Nation. What they believe and what they desire is unstable, uncertain, and transient Yoruba nation open to the control of the Ißo and the Fulani and targeted at the destruction of the full blood Yoruba citizens.
This is really disturbing.
In the early 60s, the half blood Yoruba teamed up with the Ißo and the Fulani led by Remi Fani-Kayode and had Awolowo and 21 other full blood Yoruba citizens imprisoned for 10 years. Moreover, in the late 90s, the half blood Yoruba again teamed up with the Ißo and the Fulani led by Abimbola Davis and had Abiola, and several other full blood Yoruba imprisoned, assassinated and exiled from Nigeria.
The Yoruba half-blood sided with the Ißo and Fulani and secured the imprisonment of Awolowo and ensured the murder of Abiola. Their new target is Tinubu.
As full blood Yoruba citizens, if we do not coordinate ourselves with unity, the disloyalty from the half blood Yoruba will remain within us. We will always fight and our fatherland will remain poor, wretched and miserable. In both Ißoland and Hausaland there is no half-blood Ißo or half-blood Fulani constituting division and disloyalty among the two nations. But Yorubaland faces many challenges because we have allowed the half blood Yoruba to take prominent political positions across Yorubaland whereas the Ißo and the Fulani have not allowed the half blood Ißo and half blood Fulani to lead their nations politically, socially and economically because of the division and disloyalty of the half blood. This is a lesson in division and disloyalty that the Yoruba nation must learn from the Ißo and the Fulani nations.
In Hausaland, for example, the Sultan, the Emirs, the Governors, the Senators and the Representatives are Fulani of pure blood in a region which belongs to the Hausa people. They are against Hausa or half blood Fulani to lead Hausaland politically, economically and socially due to division and disloyalty.
We ordinarily assume a person comes as a whole mental package of beliefs and desires: a personality of opinions, perspectives, experiences, memories and so on and so forth. But everything is set to evaporate when the half blood Yoruba starts speaking on behalf of the Yoruba nation. They support a commitment that undermines the integrity, interest, well-being and future of the entire Yoruba nation.
The philosophy of divided agents (half blood Yoruba of tainted Ißo and Fulani blood) is the reason for our disunity in Yorubaland and underdevelopment. This gives rise to deep-rooted, philosophical questions, chiefly: why should we continue to allow the half blood Yoruba, particularly those with tainted Ißo and Fulani blood to continue to hold sensitive political offices in Yorubaland?
The full blood Yoruba citizens must address the question if we are to ensure the greatness of the Yoruba nation and end the perpetual betrayal of the Yoruba nation by the half blood Yoruba.
A cursory look at the following top 25 most popular politicians and political figures in Yorubaland who are half blood Yoruba and non-Yoruba disguised as Yoruba citizens may help to end the perpetual betrayal of the Yoruba nation by the half blood Yoruba who have tainted Ißo and Fulani blood.

We need the prices of essential commodities reduced including medical and living costs. The Government is talking about data when there is an impending famine approaching us.
NwekeUG: Sowore Blasts Kelechi Iheanacho, For Paying Courtesy Visit To Governor Yahaya Bello (Photos)
Activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has blasted footballer, Kelechi Ihenacho, for paying a courtesy visit to the governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello today, IgbereTV reports.
The governor via his Facebook page, posted photos of the footballer paying him a visit.
Fahdiga1: The honest truth. For those who don't understand the write-up or the mischievous ones how can a NAVY that is created to fight crimes on any water body be moving to Kano that is barren without water. A desert. Does it make sense to you?
you guys lack understanding of modern military warfare doctrine. The Nigerian Navy has a combat unit that is tailored towards the marine component of the US navy. The marine is a separate fighting force but they are under the navy, The Nigerian Navy as combatant unit that fights on land, sea, and Air. the Air component is still in its infancy stage. Having their desert warfare unit moving to kano is no big deal. learn before jumping on stuff you have little ideas about. Morden navy does not fight on the sea alone.
Empiree: all what you just said that I highlighted are hearsays without proofs. If he wanted to die or came to die for your sin, why did he cry to God when he faced death on the cross?. Does this sound like someone trying to die for you?
Matthew 27:45-50[/b]you know not what you talk about . I guess it's time to lecture you on the diviness of Jesus not only as The son of , the son of God and God
And about the ninth hour [b]Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
you better speak for yourself on this one because you guys have different doctrines. Someone already posted up there not point ago that Jesus is God and he created the world. And besides, since you believe he's not, how about this Bible verse that claimed Jesus is God?
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" - Isaiah 9:6
That is because LRU was been managed by a private company (AMS) and everyone felt their effectiveness, and all their services were absolutely free. The coming of d present administration saw d cancellation of that contract and it's back to square one; LASEMA is fully back in charge.
Thanks for the info. This shows the government can not be effective in managing anything that benefits the masses in this country.
