Great initiatives? Those are the people's jobs, their life and life lines being cut unnecessarily.
These two clownns even sacked workers in charge of USA nuclear arsenals before they called them back after realising their madness.
When govts lay workers off, that's poverty being created

All the comments here are just to score cheap clout.

It was on record that doctors went on strike for close to a year which resulted to many Anambrians migrating to Ondo state for medical services.

DrAda:
Or I can ask you

I received with profound sorrow the news of the passing of the Holy Father, Pope Francis. His death marks the end of another era in the spiritual and moral leadership of the Catholic Church and the wider world.

Throughout his life and pontificate - during which I had the privilege of meeting him on three occasions - Pope Francis embodied the virtues of faith, hope, and compassion. He led with humility, spoke with wisdom, and acted with moral courage. He constantly strove to draw humanity closer to the ideals of peace, justice, and love. His deep concern for the poor, his steadfast advocacy for moral leadership, and his defence of human dignity earned him the admiration of people across all faiths and nations.

As a member of the Scholas Occurrences Foundation, founded by Pope Francis, I deeply appreciate his belief in education, dialogue, and youth empowerment as vital instruments for building a more just and compassionate world.

Pope Francis devoted his life to the service of God and humanity. His legacy will live on not only in the hearts of the faithful but also in the global conscience he helped shape with grace, clarity, and conviction. In an age marked by division and uncertainty, his voice remained a steady call to unity, mercy, and justice.

On behalf of myself, my family and millions of Nigerians who found inspiration in his teachings and example, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the universal Church. May God, in His infinite mercy, grant eternal rest to his gentle soul and guide the Church he so lovingly shepherded. -PO

Oga the boy case isn't politics but jus another case of Police brutality rest..

kmaster007:
The boy don't really let us what lead him to prison...

Here is an analysis of all the facts before us as presented by the Nigerian Police Force spokesman, and the family through their lawyer.

1. Age of Quadri Alabi:
Police: Claimed Quadri is 18 years old, implying he can be treated as an adult in legal proceedings.
Family: Asserted Quadri is 17 (born September 29, 2007), a minor, which raises concerns about the legality of his detention and treatment.
Analysis: This discrepancy is significant because, under Nigerian law, minors are subject to different legal procedures (e.g., the Child Rights Act). If the family's claim is accurate, the police may have violated Quadri’s rights by treating him as an adult.

2. Circumstances of Arrest:
Police: Stated Quadri was arrested following an investigation into a violent street clash on January 22, 2025, with evidence from witnesses and victims identifying him.
Family: Claimed Quadri was abducted by Area Boys (Lege and Baba Waris) and handed over to the police, with no evidence of his involvement in the alleged crimes. The police failed to specify who arrested him or where.
Analysis: The police’s lack of detail on the arrest process (who, where, and how) weakens their narrative, especially since the family provided specific names of the alleged abductors and a motive tied to prior harassment over donations.

3. Nature of the Incident:
Police: Described a large-scale street fight involving rival youth groups, leading to property damage, injuries, and robbery, with Quadri identified as a perpetrator.
Family: Denied Quadri’s involvement in any street fighting, robbery, or property damage, questioning the lack of an identification parade and the timing of the alleged crimes (10 PM).
Analysis: The absence of an identification parade, as required by law, undermines the police’s claim of victim identification. The family's point about the timing (10 PM) suggests visibility issues that could affect identification accuracy, further casting doubt on the police’s evidence.

4. Legal Process and Outcome:
Police: Stated Quadri was charged and remanded pending legal proceedings, emphasizing adherence to due process.
Family: Highlighted that Quadri was detained for a week before remand, violating constitutional limits, and that the DPP’s legal advice cleared Quadri, leading to his discharge by the court. He criticized the police for doubling down despite this outcome.
Analysis: The DPP’s exoneration and the court’s discharge strongly support Effiong’s narrative of a wrongful arrest. The police’s continued defense, without addressing the DPP’s findings, suggests an attempt to save face rather than acknowledge potential misconduct.

5. Motive and Context:
Police: Did not provide a motive for Quadri’s alleged actions, focusing solely on the incident and investigation.
Family: Linked Quadri’s arrest to harassment by Area Boys since 2023, motivated by jealousy over donations Quadri received after his encounter with Peter Obi’s convoy.
Analysis: The family's narrative provides a plausible motive for why Quadri might have been targeted, supported by a history of harassment. The police’s omission of this context suggests they may be ignoring underlying factors that led to Quadri’s arrest.
