The big question is, 'Are they fulanis?'
Before now, I travel to Benin from Akure almost every week but for some times now, I just work on jobs from my office. Any contractor that wants to see me will just have to come. That Benin road is suddenly a dead trap

Honestly, we all need to travel less these days. Thank goodness for online platforms for holding meetings. Might not be perfect due to internet issues in Nigeria, but better than unnecessary travel.

southern legislators needs to fastrack restructure but my people are too Foolish to do so.....,awon were

What exactly is this restructuring sef? The North itself isn't really the problem, but political corruption and incompetence everywhere is the issue? Is tinubu that is holding lagos at the jugular a northerner?

YourMajesty:
This is becoming like a "good business" in the North...

Here's how it plays out;

-Join or form a notorious and recognized Bandit group.

- Get some assorted riffles from the village head.

- Recruit some never do well Almajiri miscreants into the sect.

- Engage in cow rustling and community wahala.

- Call the State governor that you have repented and willing to surrender.

- State governor welcomes you like the prodigal son and promise to take care of you, then whip some hard currencies into your bank account.

- Recycle the same bullshit sequence after his tenure.


That's why the North will always remain backward.

How is it different from the militancy down south?

Oga, the choice is yours, follow one way and we will price your car starting from 50k on auction day. Dont follow one way and nobody will price your "sweat".

Are roads even properly marked in Nigeria? Lagos has the most one way roads in Nigeria, and if you are a visitor from out of town, you won't know most of them.

The story makes no sense. Why would anyone pay N2bln for one year tenure extension. Interest on N2bln at 10% is N200mln a year or about N18mln a month. What exactly would he be looking for that he is fighting tooth and nail for only 1 year extension after working (and stealing) and for about 35 years.

Actually a very good and mature response from amaechi. Let those whose job it is to speak on fulani matter do so. Must we all speak on a simple matter?

It's always the chicks that see it as haters. Don't go and find work to do. Be waiting for who will come and dash you car and pamper you for adding no value.

If they make this many vehicles, where are all their vehicles on our roads? Cos I very rarely see 306 on our roads in Lagos. Maybe they are used mainly up North?

If you are settled with N1bln and lose N60mln.......

I would rather that polling centers in the big cities be fewer, but manned with more staff and security so that the voting can be faster and better secured by Police.

The National Assembly shouldn't even confirm them in the first place. In particular representatives from states where herdsmen and boko haram have ravaged should put up a staunch fight to ensure that they are not confirmed.

However, knowing that this is Nigeria and how useless NASS is, it will probably fly.

So you appreciate the online warriors who defend you, but when online messaging is used during End Sars, online people are a threat to the nation.

It looks like the governor is abroad. Doesn't he have work to do in his state?

I get where you are coming from, but daily bread is still never an excuse for lawlessness in the land!

The satellite tv space is very wide for all to participate, so welcome to TSTV. At the end of the day, time will tell if they are able to stand the test of time. It goes beyond just making it cheap at N2 per day per channel (though I know most Nigerians are craving for cheap stuff), but for me I want quality programing, HD quality, excellent customer service, good use of technology etc. Not the one I'm watching premier league with Arabic commentary. If TSTV can offer these consistently, then all the better, but i'll give them a year to stabilize and prove their worth in the market before I even consider joining them.

This is the sort of thing we need to see more of from our Men of God.

Which work are they doing from home with no laptops!? They are on holiday, not working from home.

We need to ask ourselves why public school infrastructure falls apart so quickly. How many private houses in Lagos do we see with their roofs blown out, and so how come it is so common with public schools?

Was the quality so poor initially or do the students have something to do with it?

I ask cos I've seen students really wreck a school building before. Students also need to be held accountable for spoiling school infrastructure.

Eriokanmi:
Agreed. Even if one gets petrol via the right source, one can still run a gen for 13 hours daily with just 1,500 naira and still spend less than 50k in one month.

What you are getting wrong is that the guy who bought the token for N50k will not use it all in one month.

recall he said he bought the other one in June 2020. That means he used N50k worth of electricity in 6months and not one month that nost of you are using to benchmark against gen.

nairavsdollars:
The electricity Tariff hike by the Discos is just alarming.
N50,000 worth of token in June 2020 gave me 2183.7Kwh

Today, I went to the same place and bought the same N50,000 worth of token gave me 991.1Kwh.

Yet, the FG suspended the recent tariff and it will take effect this month end. Maybe N50,000 token will not give me more than 200Kwh.

Naija which way

Your tariff per kwh suggest that your electricity supply is above 16hrs per day? Is this the case?

Unfortunately, they will all likely be back on the streets in about 1-3 months. Just a matter of time. We have seen this type of action over the decades. Not much has changed.

ABUJA - A CITY UNDER SIEGE BY KIDNAPPERS.
JANUARY 26, 2021 10:07 AM

What shocks me most in this country is how you hear militants, terrorists, herdsmen and whatever operate in an hour for 3 to 5 hours!! For goodness sake, that is enough time to fly 50 commandos by chopper to anywhere in Nigeria from Abuja.

Is our security response so useless? How can Boko Haram be attacking an army base for 5 hours and no help comes? It makes no sense. In that time, the I should be able to get an attack helicopter from the nearest NAF base to provide vital air support with superior weaponry to swing the battle back in Army's favour, even if they were indeed out numbered initially.

Better still, but there should be drones in the air 24/7 armed with air to surface missiles to provide cover. Modern military drones can stay in the air for 24 to 36 hours, so just 2 or 4 is okay for round the clock surveillance and military readiness.

But hey, what do I know.

[quote author=OrdinaryNigeria post=98479689]funny enuf, they wont bc either they are scared, conscience wil be pricking them, or northern wil start continuous crises to maim people.

I swear if I get presidency of this nation, I will replicate exactly wat Buhari did. Exactly in favor of my people and my religion[/quote

Exactly. Assuming Tinubu became President in 2023 and made Chief of Defence, Army, Airforce and Navy from the South, the North will cry from now till tomorrow. Yet that is exactly what has been happening from 2015.

AZeD1:
Has that Airport made 30 billon in revenue since it was built?

Fantastic comment! What commercial sense is there in an international airport in Katsina of all places. Not even Kaduna!

The bazzenness of the nepotistic decision making in the country is shocking. Buhari is focusing on the North and rubbing our faces in it. Same thing with this AKK gas pipeline that is going to Kano. There isn't enough gas down south for electricity and industry, and yet they want to pump so much gas to Kano, Kaduna and Abuja!

Will he be bold enough to audit without the fear of obeying those that employed him?? Nigeria federal system won't just work until a credible true federalism is implemented! He's just lucky for it's time for him to milk his own share of the oil money... nothing will change! Shishi he can't change, just paper work and Nigeria remains the way it is

Exactly! He will be very busy without achieving anything.

Is it a mall or an amusement park? Why the over abundance of colors?

Dangote should have let this issue slide. He shouldn't have given any iota of attention to it. Though, silence may mean he's guilty as charged OR innocent of the case n lady only want to chase clout.

I believe if he'd kept low, people will actually think the later is d case and will quickly forget about it....... now the matter will blow out of proportion and d lady has nothing to lose, not even her reputation!

Abi o!! Not sure why Dangote bothered. It's not a crime to have sex na! Moreso, he's divorced. Or did anyone think he wasn't having sex all this while? the guy na wood?

Agreed, his reputation is somewhat tarnished and his ego bruised, especially after seeing his butt on social media, but hey, it would have blown over relatively quickly had he left it alone and moved on. the babe has nothing to lose and everything to gain from cheap popularity. the fact that she's banged Dangote means a few other Nigerian big men will want to arrange her, even if just to say that they have chopped what Dangote also chopped. Not to talk of other big men the world over.

slyxavi:
Dele should first apologize to Nigerians for supporting Buhari to power....

We can only support politicians on the basis of what they say during their campaign. And I must confess, the campaign of Buhari said all the right things. I was also in full support of Buhari in 2015.

However, it didn't take me up to 1 year to realize that Buhari is an incompetent, nepotistic buffon who will add little or no value to this country. The first straw was taking 6months to appoint Ministers for Nigeria - in the midst of a recession!!! Who the hell does that!? Who campaigns for President without being very clear minded about those who will serve with him? President Biden had almost finished filling his key positions before inauguration. Biden had just 3.5months from Oct to Jan. Buhari had 5months from Jan to May and still took another 6months after inauguration!!

Take a look at economy. 2 recessions in 6 years. While the recession could be said to be outside Nigeria's control, what smacks of gross incompetence was that Nigeria was [i]less [/i]prepared for the second one than the first one. That indicates zero thinking, strategizing and planning.

Now we have taken close to $20bln in loans and we struggle to see the fruits of those loans beyond 4 airports and 2 rail lines. Where the hell has all the money gone? And more importantly, where will the money to pay back come from?

Buhari is no doubt the worst president Nigeria has ever had!! So bad in fact, that I am beginning to think this Democracy is a waste of time and military rule is better for us.
