State police shall pave the way for nigeria break up. Each state will have tha apparatus to maintain law and order. Nigeria isnt ready for state police as Jonathan once weighed, it just Tunibu has other agenda.

It's not a bad thing if Nigeria breaks up if that will end this madness. Nothing is worth the blood of an innocent person.

RIALITI:
Although creating state police is a good thing considering the insecurity we are currently battling in the country but at the same time I hope this won't be another war to the citizens on the long run due to police brutality.

My opinion if I could be heard, is that state policing will increase police brutality tremendously if not handled proactively and effectively by the law. Adequate trainings and mental checks must also be done routinely to those force men so we don't create another monsters.

NOTE: Don't be surprised to later hear that bandits are also recruited into the state police job eventually to sabotage the new approach. So the recruitment processes must be very rigid, thoroughly srutinized and also fair.

That's your business if you decide to recruit terrorists into your own state police force. The madness will end within your State border.

jmoore:
State police is a recipe for disaster.

Nigeria ain't ripe for such.

Anything to cure the current madness is a welcome development.
There's no greater disaster than what we currently have now.
Any state that's not ready should not be obliged to have a State Police. It's as simple as that.

OfoIgbo:
So you think a drug dealer is a better businessman than a legit entrepreneur and bank chairman?

Tinubu is nowhere compared with Peter Obi

Tinubu is only a drug dealer in your imagination.
Obi is a legit businessman? Seriously? You can account for how he made every penny or you just like to throw words around?

Desusi:
Read the statement again,the northern farmers doing their innocent job in the Southwest? An interesting question would yoruba or igbo be doing their innocent farming in maiduguri or bornu land? Infact the only solution is let everyone go to their own territory.Those who must stay in another's mans land should be fully registered and confirmed.

Is it even legal to travel interstates without any known destination? Only in Nigeria.

Breaker001:
This guy no try at all to make this voice over. The guy don go prize market. By the way,Tinubu doesn't speak that fast na.

And VDM needs to publicly apologize to PBAT for sharing that fake voice seeing that it did not emanate from PBAT.

I've always known VDM to be an idiiot, but I wasn't expecting him to go so low like this. When someone played this voice note, I immediately knew it was a deep fake.
Tinubu might be everything, but he will never ulter those statements, not even alone in his bedroom.
Even VDM should be in trouble for spreading this nonsense. People should be ready to take responsibility for what they post or share online. Ignorance is no longer an excuse.

right to be angry though and I don't anything wrong in what she said.

TheFreshVanilla:
A man is putting his life on the line to fight terrorists in our forests. Instead of encouraging him, most of you are sitting comfortably behind your phones talking him down. Una life don spoil.

The people that are talking him down are APC boys or islamists, and obidients who don't like his political leanings.

You guys burn Gigabytes of data going on Facebook and WhatsApp?

Mercyjoy28:
Nonsense!!! What he supposed to do in 2023. Obi would have won but his stupid pride wouldn't allow him. Now that he sees Obi as his only way to 2031 presidency he is ready to deputise. He only wants to use Obi.



Desperate man. Nonsense!!!

Their combined vote would still land them in 2nd place, more than 1 million votes short of Tinubu.

OfoIgbo:
So you think a one-time chairman of a bank and a first class business enterpreneur will not expand the economic base of Nigeria.

You think a typical Igbo self made multi millionaire will run Nigeria like Buhari and Tinubu

Personal business is not national business. Tinubu is a better entrepreneur than Obi if you want to argue that.

Hello house,

​Please I need the car gurus, and actual owners on this forum to advise me before I make a major financial move.

​With the way the economy is going, buying a 2018+ Tokunbo car right now is looking like a luxury apartment investment. Because of this, I've been doing some serious calculations. My budget is pulling me toward two completely different directions, and I want to see what makes the most sense for a daily Lagos commute.

​On one hand, I’m looking at a clean Tokunbo 2014 Honda Accord. We all know the Accord is a sweet ride— comfortable, nice interior, excellent handling, and that 2.4L i-VTEC engine is quite reliable.

​On the other hand, my eyes have been firmly fixed on the Changan brand—brand new or very clean used one from China. Visually, these Changan cars are breathtaking. The interior looks like a full stack tech hub with the screens, 360-degree cameras, and panoramic roof. Plus, Mikano backing them with a warranty sounds like peace of mind when getting a brand new one.

Although, I heard mikano won't offer support to the imported ones. How has the experience been for those that own these Changan cars?

​But as a proper Nigerian, my mind is still playing ten-ten about switching to a Chinese brand over a proven Japanese machine. Before I drop my hard-earned money, I need the house to help me weigh these options

​Parts & Maintenance: If an alternator or sensor goes bad on the Accord, I can get it in Ladipo or any spare parts market in 10 minutes. What is the story for Changan parts? Can a regular mechanic handle them, or am I strictly tied to Mikano and what happens when I opt to import directly from China.

​Should I go for the tech and newness of the Changan, or should I just stick to the reliable, comfortable, and easy-to-maintain 2014 Honda Accord?

​Actual owners, mechanics, and car enthusiasts, please air your thoughts! no capping.

Thank you

Buy Honda and rest. You'll never regret it.

As long as you don't attempt anything outside your daura constituency, we are cool.

You are happy 😊 with this turnout in Lagos? Agege alone boast of about 4 million eligible voters. What you have there is not up to 200k. Wait until campaign starts. If Peter Obi and Kwankwaso venture enter Agege, hold up will last 3 days.

We are talking about eligible voters, you're talking about crowd that'll be playing football on election day. If Obi sees more than 400k votes in Lagos, I owe you 50k.

Angelfrost:
Well, at this stage... Every City's game matters to them, especially tonight's game.

City dropping points tonight would have made their next game the title decider.

Still, they have nothing to worry about...! The title is theirs, except they choose to toss it away.

Arsenal will not win any of their remaining matches.

Before kwanu....

Anyway, dyeing at 40 from an sickness is not the best. People under 40 should die a violent, unexpected death.

RIP to the young man.

There's nothing Peaceful about death. Whether 1, 40, or 100 years old, last breath is always a struggle to keep it.

Absolute BS. Corruption cases should not sentence lighter than life imprisonment, and recovering of every penny stolen with interest, but here we are serving concurrent prison sentence to a complete thief. The 75 years is actually less than 10 according to this report. What's this for God sake?

boxypane:
If I was the Governor, I will start with this cow who refers to him self as the chairman.

Calling him a cow is an insult to cows.
These terrorists are wrecking havoc everywhere in the country, but the only thing the government can do is prepare for next year election.

Whatever you feel will make the uncultured hordes happy, do it Sir.

If we mention state policing now, wahala go burst. Mr Atiku, what's your proposed solution to the insecurity issue or you're just good at criticism?

We need campaign money, logistics, pay polling agents and man all polling booths in Nigeria. The money is not to buy votes, but logistics.

Party members pay dues everywhere in the world. I don't know why everything is upside down in this country.

Children Are Not Automatic Blessings, Parenting Still Matters.

One dangerous mindset many Nigerians still carry is this belief that once children are born, everything will somehow work itself out.

As if children automatically become successful simply because they came into the world.

No.

Children are not crops you abandon and expect harvest from.

You cannot pour negligence, chaos, absence, bad habits, and irresponsibility into a child for 20 years and suddenly expect excellence to come out.

You will not always get your desired result.

Most times, you get your deserved result.

Years ago, Nigerian communities played a stronger role in raising children. Neighbours corrected children. Teachers were feared. Extended families intervened. Communities sometimes carried children whose parents failed them.

Today, society has changed.

The burden has shifted heavily back to the parents.

Modern life is more complex, more distracting, and more dangerous than before.

Now, if you are absent mentally and emotionally from your child’s life, society may not save them for you.

That is why parenting today requires intentionality.

You must be intentional about:
✔️ Education
✔️ Discipline
✔️ Values
✔️ Friendships
✔️ Internet exposure
✔️ Skills and talents
✔️ Emotional development
✔️ Career direction

Children do not raise themselves.

And God will not come down physically to monitor your child’s homework, friendships, online activities, or moral development for you.

Parents must do that work.

I remember a neighbour years ago in Enugu.

Every morning, this man’s routine was the same:
Wake up.
Sit at a nearby shop.
Drink heavily.
Smoke.
Argue loudly over football and meaningless topics from morning till evening.

Meanwhile, his daughters stayed at home for long periods without school during critical stages of their lives.

Yet deep down, he probably still expected those children to magically become successful adults.

But life rarely works that way.

Children absorb environments before they absorb advice.

Many parents underestimate this.

Your habits are raising your children too.

Your discipline.
Your irresponsibility.
Your addictions.
Your emotional instability.
Your priorities.

Children are watching everything.

Another uncomfortable truth many people avoid discussing is the effect of family structure.

A stable home with present, supportive, responsible parents often gives children a stronger emotional and psychological foundation than chaotic homes filled with instability, neglect, or absence.

That does not mean every child from a broken home will fail.

But pretending family structure has no effect at all is dishonest.

The environment a child grows up in shapes confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, and worldview.

This is why parenting is more than just feeding children.

A child can wear good clothes and still grow up emotionally abandoned.

Too many parents today are busy chasing survival and business opportunities while completely outsourcing parenting to schools, phones, social media, and strangers.

Then years later they ask:
“What went wrong?”

The painful truth is this:

If today’s society fully raises your children for you, there is a high chance you may not like the final outcome.

Because the internet has values.
The streets have values.
Peers have values.
Social media influencers have values.

If parents do not intentionally shape children, something else will.

And not everything shaping children today wants the best for them.

Children are blessings, yes.

But blessings still require cultivation, structure, sacrifice, correction, presence, and wisdom.

A seed is a blessing too.

But leave it unattended, and weeds will grow around it.

What do you think, Nairalanders?

The dangerous trends now is that nowadays parents are now looking up to their children for their daily needs. Children that are supposed to be in school, and children that have no means of income are feeding the family.
If you are a father or a mother and you're in this category, you have failed in life.

That gender is only good for humping. Aside that, most of them bring almost nothing meaningful to your life, but heartaches and HBP.

You're a liar. Who is the senator representing Abuja?

Where is she from?

Ireti Kingibe is from which State?

Goodvibes007:
He had a chance but he dropped the ball. He has zero emotional intelligence.

There is even a video currently trending on X where he gathered his kinspeople to dash them constituency gifts (the application for those gifts were done inside a catholic church), and the women burst into songs in their native language (Igbo) praising him.

And these are the people that complain about marginalization and tribalism.
I've never really seen a Yoruba man's poster anywhere outside their states contesting elections. For every Igbo person in Abuja, there's a Yoruba man, but it's only our brothers from the east that'll be dragging elective positions with the locals

ddippset:
Have you factored in the role of Amupitan?

Abi does he look like a joke to you?

Do you think he came to play?

INEC chairman doesn't go to polling units neither does he determine the vote counts in ward collations.
