BABSSSOO:

You don see am na.

E dey advice government but e nor fit spell 'dumb'.

LeeMason:
Turn it into a police station, or a military residence

Mtchewww.

Sett1ngs:
demolishing the building is a very dump idea

It is not. Just say your opinion, and don't insinuate that others are stupid.

It underscores the extremity of the crime and represents strong deterrence to others.

You really dont live in Nigeria,and you are writing based on your own information ,you need to practically experience it to feel things here ,We have a faulty system,that has centralize and reduce creativity of people ,and that is just a fact we see on a daily bases.If the electric car bill have been allowed to pass,we will develop capacity and expertise before it is finally accepted.Regions must manage and develop at her own pace .Even if benbruce is owing ,we see what he has been able to do and invest in ,unlike people that took their own money to dubai and london.

How do you mean that I don't leave in Nigeria? I have lived in all regions of Nigeria and travel often across the country.

If you know anything about Nigeria, you would know that there has never been a shortage of creative individuals in the country. Have you visited any of the innovation hubs in the country? Have you been a part of any of the rapidly growing entrepreneurial / ideas' challenge in the country? Do you know how much, in several hundred million dollars, young, creative Nigerians and their startups have raised, either as grants, seed capital or equity investments, over the past five years?

Do you know how much 'hurt' taking billions in commercial bank loan and not paying back does to the economy? Isn't that what led to the closure of several banks in Nigeria over the decades? Have you analyzed the implications of that in terms of job creation and the economy?

Having the regions manage their resources will never be the solution to Nigeria's problems, especially when you think of it in isolation. Were the regions not managing their resources between 1960 and 1966? How then was there a civil war? Without discipline, patriotism and accountability, regionalism will only just lead to 'allocating and confining' the present crop of irresponsible, corrupt and financially reckless leaders to their respective regions.

As for electric cars, it is more like a whirlwind. At the right time, it will reach Nigeria. I don't think that, that is the biggest priority area for capacity development, there so many other areas we can optimize to address skills shortages and unemployment, on a massive scale.

wink2015:
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYTIME NIGERIA WILL BE READY FOR DEVELOPMENT.

If we continue with our backward mentality !

Our pregnant women in Nigeria are desperate to give birth to their kids in Canada and USA just to have them gain citizenship of those countries.

When Ben Murray Bruce called for the introduction of electric cars in Nigeria the same NIGERIA - NEVER - READY - ADVOCATE throw dirty words at him.

WHEN WILL NIGERIA BE EVER READY ?

But Nigeria is always ready to hijack NIGER DELTA CRUDE OIL they are never tired !

They share the money as federal allocation while Nigeria continue to remain in one place.

NO JOBS FOR THE YOUTH !

NO ECONOMIC PROSPECT TO KEEP HOPES ALIVES IN NIGERIA !

God save us from wicked leaders in Nigeria !

All the scenarios you gave have nothing to do with my point.

What percentage of our pregnant women think of Canada and the US as possible places of birth for their kids?

Introduction of electric cars is way different from marijuana cultivation. It is incorrect to think that Nigeria and her goverment are averse to the introduction of electric cars. How are we able to own and use phones, laptops, gadgets etc, 24/7? Providing points of charging for such cars won't be so much issue at all, hence you cannot correlate that with marijuana cultivation.

A good friend of mine is in the forefront of the introduction of solar-powered and electric cars in Nigeria. Sen. Ben Bruce is no authority in this area and I really do not know why you mentioned him. The Senator has bad loans running into billions of naira and I don't see how he has helped the system.

About Niger Delta crude, what developments do the leaders of the Niger Delta have to show for the decades of derivation receipts given to them? Is crude oil Nigeria's only product? Are all the other products i.e. diamond, gold, limestone, cocoa, columbite, nickel, agri products etc, from the Niger Delta too?

As for the youths, they have yet to discover themselves. That is a subject for another day. Aren't they the ones being used to perpetuate various electoral frauds, misgovernance and criminality across the country?

hisgrace090:
I encourage a marijuana cultivation that'll move from farm to the factory only for medicinal production purposes not for smocking.


Advance countries of the world are now extracting CBD oil from marijuana while expelling the THC aspect of it that makes people high.


If this is what akeredolu is canvassing for he should be supported.

Oga, we nor go fit handle marijuana cultivation now abeg.

We shouldn't just jump in favour of it cultivation without critical elemental evaluation.

I am against Akeredolu on this. The time for that has not come. At this stage, it will largely serve for illicit consumption; and with the level of insincerity in the Nigerian system, coupled with our weak institutions, this will aggravate crime rate in the country with only a few profiting from it. Akeredolu obviously is more interested in the economic side to this.

uselesscountry:
Nigeria will forever remain a uselessly hopeless poor country. Why arrest guys and tag them internet fraudsters . Poor guys. If not that Magu is a dunce

What nonsense are you saying?

Are people being arrested at random?

You don't seem to have what to say.

Even people who aren't law enforcement agents know 'yahoo boys' when they see them. Dem hard to recognise?

HisSexcellency:
Efcc has found a new job description, they no longer go after politicians and civil servants who embezzle our common wealth.
Seems yahoo boys hunting is the new gig now. They should apply same zeal use in hunting down yahoo boys also to hunting and prosecution of other cases too.

Perhaps, you were ignorant and didn't know the scope of EFCC's mandate. Go and read the Act that setup the EFCC.

Do you know how many politicians and top civil servants that are in jail, or on trial, or under investigation across the country?

Are saying that they should not go after internet fraudsters?

Oga, you haven't made any point or sense abeg.

EastGold:
Na working boys efcc com dey target

What nonsense are you saying?

Goke7:
the new air-conditioned buses plying ojodu berger-tbs needs this or else those beautiful marcopolo buses will become something else in the next six months.

You are correct. I boarded one from TBS to Ojodu-Berger for N200 two days ago, and we were involved in an accident on the Third Mainland Bridge.

We were actually hit on the front side by an over-speeding, reckless driver. I think the drivers for these buses are very professional with their jobs. It is the maintainance angle which you raised that is the concern now.

grandiose4ever:
You are correct. Christianity is the best religion on planet Earth.
Lalasticlala

Childish!

Arkmanbuddy:
What fundamental issues? If he had spoken against Christianity even being a Christian, would you have made such a statement or even commented at all? You would have let it go with the idea that "it's a Christian against Christianity" and would have even laughed at it. Fanaticism robs one of happiness.

Once again, you should have let it slide...now you're not better than he is.

I am not a Muslim myself but I hate it when people link crime to tribe and religion.

I actually think that, with what you just typed he's way better than you are 'cos you aren't making any sense at all. No wonder you couldn't read between the lines of my post.

Who determines what I let slide? You or me?

Arkmanbuddy:
My guy calm your blood, quoting someone who was spitting rubbish with that comment has proven you lack wisdom. You should have let it slide or make a more intelligent comment.

And I chose not to let it slide.

How does that affect you?

That's how we fail to address issues fundamentally in the guise of foolish wisdom.

Codes151:
No concrete evidence yet arrest!!! No recovery, how does recovering cars n phone relate?? This jobless country self

What is this one saying?

Turantula:
Shut up!
You dont know the head quarters of kidnapping is along abj-kd xpressway and corporate office of ritualist is in Afonja land.
So how does it have anything to do with Christians?
Fulani kidnappers/terrorist = muslim
Afonja ritualist/skull miners = muslim

I guess Evans and Vampire belong to the Yoruba or Hausa tribe.

Guyman02:
Yoruba Muslim stop defending backwardness

And how forward have your people gone?

Oh, I guess they have gone ahead with crime.

Henry22:
Is dt all u have got?

Yes, since you guys are quick to jump to the high heavens when people of other religions are being denigrated by your fellow christians.

Did you not read what the person I quoted wrote about muslims?

What right does anyone have to insult people of other faith or beliefs?

Arkmanbuddy:
So all the kidnappers and ritualists are Christians, right?

What sort of nonsense question is that?

Did the person I quoted not refer to muslims as terrorists?

Excaperx:
Mali, Niger and Cameroon.

Those terrorists Muslim are cursed

What about the kidnapper / ritualist christians?

Oche211:
Animals in human skin.
And they will worship orji kalu, Theodore orji nd okezie ikpazeu.
Lawless animals. They should be caught and burnt alive too.

Aba...one of the craziest places to live in, in the world. It is one place in Nigeria I hate to have to go to for any reason.

The people are damn crazy. How can someone be burnt because he stole a goat?

That's the height of inhumanity!

delugajackson:
Our security agencies have been reduced to a mere joke. Is she a government official? Is she highly placed? What's her position in the society?

Can you try this nonsense in other countries? Why insult our collective intelligence? Damn it! This country is doomed!

Oga, her husband was a NASS member, and currently a politician. With the current spate of kidnapping in the country, there is nothing wrong with her having armed protection (if she or her hubby) can afford it.

What do you mean by 'highly placed'? Isn't she a human being? How many heads are people who go with armed security supposed to have? Free the young woman abeg, she is 22 and should be left to live her life.

Worst things than this happen in other countries....where do our corrupt politician take our stolen monies to? Nor be the same other 'saintly' countries? Why don't they do due diligence on funds coming into their countries? Or you think they don't know the monies are illegitimate? Is a US senator not serving jail term for corruption, which also involved Nigerian officials?

All I know is that Nigeria is not more corrupt that these countries. The 'taker' is as guilty as the 'giver'.

Beedude:
No mind them. I keep telling dem. If players like Salah can score the highest goal in a season at EPL or player like Sterling and Hazard destroy teams with their movements and pace. Messi will dominate and disgrace them in England. As a Barça fan I wish we can loan Messi to Man city for just 6months. That league is just too overrated and it's irritating

Lol.

You can't be more correct.

Imagine, a league where Hazard and Sterling are among the best.

Wetin Messi want go find there sef? Who wan mark am?

Nbote:
Everyone knows Messi is on anoda level whether he's winning trophies or not... He's d creator in chief and still ends up as chief scorer as well and even wen he doesn't score he's making a difference on d pitch.. Every attack right from d midfield goes thru him and ends with him in most cases... He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone but only to himself... Dey said he only performs becos of Xavi and Iniesta dey both left and he's still performing. Dey said Neymar was doing all d work for him and he wouldn't perform without him, Neymar left for PSG and he's being carrying d load.. Now d new excuse is dat he can't perform in d Premier league but he's d second highest scorer behind Aguero against d Premier League's top 6 sides and he doesn't even play in d Premier league!!!

Let them say whatever they like.

Messi is the greatest football player of all times.

Does it makes sense to say that Messi can't perform in the EPL but he can crush EPL topmost teams almost single-handedly?

eistien:
Messi has scored a brace against 3 of the so called EPL top 6 teams this season yet some deluded EPL fans boys says he needs to come to England and prove himself, I guess he should come prove himself against Fulham and Huddersfield.

Ronaldo has 600 club goals in 803 appreances while Messis has 600 goals in 683 appearances

Yet some people still have the Audacity to call Ronaldo the better goal scorer, Messi dominates in every aspect of the game, he doesn’t have an equal in this game, not in this life and not in the next.

Messi is nobody’s mate, in fact Messi is not Messi’s mate

Very good analysis.

Messi is simply in a class of his own.

haconjy:
In don't blame you,
it's all written all over you. I remain a staunch Christian and I will forever support my religion.

Who says that you should quit being a Christian?

The fact remains that Nigeria is a country, not of Christians alone.

Could you kindly keep sentiments around your faith out of topical national issues? They aren't of any significance in the regard.

Thank you.

jaxxy:
They shud make details of their effort public. Look at how CAN is now suggesting are sm people more important than others? Has CAN been briefed on any efforts made to secure the release of Leah?

Before I speak I study the situations and mannerisms of the government with whatever facts are on ground and that’s what I based my comments on. If u know better tell us and else we shud all be asking the government to explain the Leah situation better to Nigerians not keeping mute for almost a year or more on it.

They should make details of their negotiations with one of the world's deadliest terror group public? And undermine the lives of persons held captive?

Who is CAN? Please, quit being ridiculous and unreasonable. That's more like saying that the FG gives updates to Islamic leaders while attempting to free muslim captives. Is Leah the only one being held by Boko Haram? Or is this about the fact that she is a Christian?

Religion has indeed eroded the rationality of many Nigerians.

Let CAN go fix the rising social vices across the country first.

jaxxy:
So what do u know about the much that has been done? If u know tell us or else ur part of the problem for not speaking for what is right and yet telling people not to hold an elected government accountable. I spoke for the aisha and I’m speaking for Leah also. That is how we progress

I only respond or answer to sincere questions; not ones that are challenges or rebuttals.

How do you hold government responsible when you haven't sought to get updates on her engagements from the right quarters?

Thousands of persons held captive have been released and reunited with their families and communities over the past few years. You are at liberty to visit the Northeast to verify this fact or make your research in a different way. Not one of these persons released was released on ground of religion.

The ICRC and other international organisations are in the forefront of these efforts to secure the release of these captives of terror.

I do not see how nurturing and reinforcing mindsets based on ethno-religious sentiments translate to holding government accountable.

haconjy:
Before some Muslims, APC fans will flood here now calling CAN PDP Agent.
CAN pls wake up and take the right of Christians, and Nigeria back. forget about those that will call you many names. just pls save our soul from a killing cow

Christians indeed. Where and who are the Christians in Nigeria?

What are they doing about the monstrous vices of ritual killing, kidnapping, arm robbery, cultism, prostitution and internet crime claiming precious lives in Nigeria daily, especially in the South.

Aren't they busy collecting offerings, donations, first fruits and tithes from these criminal elements?

I will keep saying it, and I won't stop believing this saying by my very wise grandfather who passed on in the early 90s : "no one who commits and belongs to any religion is mentally balanced in his/her reasoning".

I can see that saying being exemplified in most of the comments here...Una nor well at all..

jaxxy:
This is about proof of innocence that can/shud not be ignored.

I don’t think it’s about sm people being more important than the other.

If the government can prove the innocence of any presumed drug dealer elsewhere why not they shud make same effort to secure his release not when they are guilty or theres no way to prove his/her innocence.



You are correct bt to be honest the government has not done enough to secure Leah’s release and it is quite obvious. Are they afraid to engage bokoharam in more talks or what?

And what do you know about the 'so little' that has been done to secure Leah's release?

We must stop this religious angle to analyzing things.

winterfell007:
So you don't know that in this Buhari's next level Nigerians are important but cows and 'fulani' are 'importanter'

What did CAN say, up till now, about the Synagogue building collapse, Akwa Ibom Church collapse and the shootings at a church in Ozulubu that left hundreds dead?

Is CAN not such an irresponsible organisation?

helinues:
May be, may be not.

But me I know say cows are more valuable than human being to some people

Irresponsible comment.
