He made a good point

NAFDAC never ever arrest people for selling fake drugs, instead they met out collective punishment which makes more people sell fake since they would be punished regardless.

EFCC remains the most effective agency in this country.

The audacity for me...

Scamming a foreigner in a foreign land, common sense would have told him to run away.

Smartcitizen:
You will never see northern actors here,


The kind of attachment those people have on Nigeria is just alarming o!


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is why they deserve to rule Nigeria not unpatriotic elements.

Its funny they run away from terrorists in their own country only to die in a foreign war for a foreign land.

bigcasava1:
do you know that police just kill innocent boy going to write jamb in oyo?

It was WAEC not Jamb

And the boy's father was very very irresponsible

Dronedude:
Heard the boy was running late for exams and he was stuck in traffic only to take one way to avert traffic to meet up the exams before boy is shut out from taken the exams.

He did a wrong thing but also think of the fatherly instinct to do anything for his son to get to his destination and not regret missing out on his opportunity.

The police have no business shooting at an unarmed traffic violator. In civilized countries police chase and even after the chase they don't shoot unless the person is armed and posing a threat.

You mean the same civilized society where they regularly shoot black people for showing license?

You need it since y'all can't do nothing right 65 years after they left.

Your on a Nigerian site aren't you?

we don't need white man's approval.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
A creditor will injure to kill, not to torture.

He likely offended someone, had information, knew too much or stirred up envy and jealousy.

Multiple, repeated injuries express malice, extreme measure to obtaining information or the desire to pass a message across.



To think this guy has already been buried without autopsy and a murder case file...

Good analysis, did you study criminology or are you a fan of detective stories?

Let us take time to commend the police for their efforts to track and apprehend this guy.

I just hope they don't have a lousy prosecution team like the ones on Nnamdi Kanu case, otherwise this monster can get free or a less sentence.

Maybe he loaned someone money so they decided to kill him to avoid repayment.

Or maybe he's a cultist since he is Benin.

Good, this toxic Elon Musk platform must fall.

Nigerian leaders should follow suit

Stop playing virtual or aviator, those games can be easily rigged, bet only on football matches.

Don't bet on more than two matches per ticket.

Be cautious around betting random teams, you have never heard of.

It won't stop your gambling but its a slow exercise that can help you stop.

Now she can defend him in court when he jams somebody.

PresidObi:
Peter Obi won the governorship from little known APGA and governed when the whole state assembly were PDP and they fiercely fought him, and he won.

Then he proceeded to defect to PDP.

Doesn't that sound like a surrender?

mrvitalis:
If Obi becomes president 70% of the senators would decamp to his party instantly

That is wishful thinking motivated by sentiments...

Labour party that is currently experiencing a crisis is where 70% of senators would defect to.

First ask, how will he pass policies when majority of senators are APC?

How will he handle protest against him?

Wars are won by logistics and calculations not by sentiment.

Because Peter Obi is taking the opposition spot that rightfully belongs to Sowore and Peter Obi is wasting it.

An ambitious greedy candidate will jump to a popular party to win elections, Sowore however remained committed to his small party, that is opposition and that is how Tinubu started.

He has already done this coalition against Buhari and he lost...

That was when PDP was still strong, not when all these defections started rocking the party.

We are on camera, let us pretend like we like each other, oya smile.

I read all the comments

Nobody even mentioned the fact that these Igbo guys are APC and they probably supported Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu and are actually not Obidents.

Nairaland has poor political commentary on both sides.

The main criticism so far seems to be that the Igbo candidates didnt help improve APC performance hence it was pointless appointing them.

mrvitalis:
You are owing 10 people you cleared one then borrowed more from the other 9 then claim you cleared your debt?

So in your opinion owing 10 people is better than owing 9 people?

mrvitalis:
PDP had already grown our GDP by 7 times by their 10th year in power

APC had removed 70% by their 10th year in power... Our GDP has to grew 300% to reach where PDP left it


Are you sure you are smart enough to know the difference between when someone is building something and when someone is destroying it?

When you dislike someone you will surely find a reason to justify it.

Nigeria is being celebrated for paying its debts but that is not a sign of growth to you.

mrvitalis:
APC is building Nigeria from ground up yet GDP has dropped by over 70% since 2015

The Pyramid of Giza was not build overnight, great things take time.

kettykin:
Forced conscription, while sometimes necessary in times of existential threat, often undermines the cohesion and effectiveness of a military force. It breeds resentment, reduces morale, and produces soldiers whose loyalty is to survival rather than to the state or its ideals. Such a force is inherently fragile when confronted by a disciplined, professional, and ideologically committed adversary. This structural weakness has historically contributed to the decline of great powers—whether the overextended Roman Empire legions filled with non-Roman soldiers, the British Empire's reliance on colonial conscripts with very divergent back ground and allegiance, the Soviet Union’s bloated and morale-starved military complex, or the post-civil war Nigerian Empire military, burdened by internal factionalism and a highly contested national identity.

Military might without unity of purpose is ultimately unsustainable.

you cant coerce Loyalty

United States relied on forced conscripts and they won WW1& WW2, only during Vietnam was that conscripts a problem and that's because Vietnam didn't threaten USA directly the way Japan did in WW2 and Germany did in WW1.

The Soviets famously gave orders to shoot soldiers who ran away, and this led to the victory of Stalingrad.

The Roman empire fell because of a lack of forced conscription, Romans didn't want to join the army but instead relied on other Nationalities to defend them, and soon those nationalities decided it would be more profitable to just attack Romans.

You cannot coerce loyalty but you can avoid disloyalty i.e death penalty for deserters

I would say APC values effectiveness, their goal is build Nigeria from the ground up into a strong industrial powerhouse, no matter what it cost.

PDP was more concerned with Federal character above everything else even growth and effectiveness, this approach helped to prevent a military return to power but couldn't achieve much else and might have even encouraged more crisis;

Obasanjo was appointed because of MKO crisis

Goodluck was appointed because of Delta Militant crisis

This then prompted Northerners to begin funding a Boko Haram crisis hoping to put their own people next, it also encouraged the IPOB crisis with the same motive.

PDP Federal character ideology ended up backfiring and would ultimately end up destroying it.

kettykin:
Does this mean that if a war breaks out between Nigeria and another country like Congo, Cameroon, Boko Haram , Herdsmen, ISWAP etc , igbos will not be fighting for Nigeria. if this is the case then the days of Nigeria as a country is numbered because i don't see a military advantage Nigeria has over Ghana or Cameroon , infact Nigeria is no longer the 4th strongest military in africa

In this scenario there would be a forced conscription.

beerner:
Igbos are very many in the Army. my wife is an Igbo woman from Owa Alero, Asaba and once in a while we host her colleagues that are also Army officers too and they are mostly Igbos.

Igbos are more in the Officer Corp.

does it even matters if the BoG must be Igbos ?

Yes it does

During Vietnam war there was multiple cases of 'fragging'.

Foot soldiers have the highest casualty and disposability rate so if the foot soldiers feel disconnected or alienated with their officers then the officers get fragged.

In this case the officers are from a tribe that is very unpatriotic which means the foot soldiers would sooner or later begin to wonder why they are risking their lives for a man whose own people cannot risk their lives for him.

PresidObi:
Sounds like the big trouble you have been placing on your head is starting to get heavy for you to continue carrying? Go school, no, learn work, no, learn trade, no, all of you have been entering armed forces since 1966 like you were programmed to keep fighting forever. Now your communities have been flooded with arms and ammunition, till you are all fighting and killing each other. Tell more of your children to join armed forces.

Una go carry that weight and collapse under it.

It is better and useful to the society to join the army than to join one yeye cult or drug cartel, which is where most of your people prefer to direct their energy.

KnowAll:
Just in case Obi wins tomorrow is it Hausa, Yoruba or Middle belt soldiers that would be in the brigade of guards providing that first circle of security operatives. Obi and any Igbo should encourage their kinsmen to join the army so that once they become Commander in chief they have a bulwark of loyal soldiers who would give the president a safety net against any would be coupist or renegade.

Don’t make the mistake of January 1966 where General Ironsi was taking out like a toddler.

A word is good for the wise.

Don't mind them, they don't learn from history.

They don't want to be foot soldiers they want to be officers.

They never asked themselves, what if the foot soldiers decide not to follow your orders? what if the foot soldiers are not loyal to you?

Enter July 1966
