PressMyButton: I hope y'all reading and learning how to tackle insecurity. Copy the template and give it to your Governors. This is how to know a region that takes security as priority. Your Governors are collecting security votes but what are they using for?, to carry foreign hOes?, or lavish recklessly?. You keep pampering Ipob terrorists but you keep running to SW for safe abode. Is it until SW enact a law to build a wall around their borders before you take security seriously in your region. We are watching.
The truth is any region that's crime infested it's so because the elites are complicit in the crime or are unwilling to confront it. South west leaders collectively rejects making the region unstable and have been doing their best to ensure that. When other regions leaders decide to do like south west leaders, all these criminalities will fade away
Na you and Lagos dey slow this Amotekun activities Ondo state and Oyo state Amotekun are well staffed , equiped and funded. I know the Oyo state gives them life insurance too and The governor has bought over 100 vehicles for them.
But these security operatives should be trained to handle these types of cases in a professional manner. Maybe the suspect couldn't have shot him if he knew they were EFCC operators whom we know they (fraudsters) are not even afraid of because they will get out quickly due to the corrupt Nigerian system.
He may have resorted to defending himself if he thinks these are more dangerous criminals like kidnappers or armed robbers. The way EFCC will barge into homes without due protocols like arrest warrants, identifying themselves and giving the suspects enough proof to know who they are before jumping over fences and kicking doors down is dangerous for everyone.
In the southern part of Nigeria, some people are so overzealous about crime fighting that they lose their senses in the process. Things they will not attempt in other places, they rush to do because they are already operating with a flawed mindset.
Crime is bad, let's fight it with professionalism.
This case will teach them a lesson and maybe force a review of their operational guidelines.
How can you want to go and catch a criminal and you are behaving worse than the said criminal.
With a very good SAN, he will walk free on self defense claims.
franchasofficia: This is nothing but the truth, my now late uncle was part of them and he told us the same story which I shared here days ago.
Only God knows the truth and the truth will come out one day before those that hate Igbos and think Igbos are too troublesome.
My late uncle only regretted the fact that some of the coup leaders failed to separate tribal sentiment from their actions which made them spare some Igbo leaders marked for elimination should they refuse to cooperate.
Ademoyega also said some of this in his book titled "Why We Struck".
That Jihad war hasn't stopped, they are still on it. Take a look at what they are doing to Middlebelt people today. They are now using Fulani herdsmen who are actually Muslim Jihad Militants trained under Boko Haram, ISWAP, etc to continue the execution of that Islamic Jihad. They showed their hand too early again in Southwest by introducing Sharia law in Oyo state but Yorubas think it's a joke and are focused on attacking Igbos who are actually their best friends they ought to have been working with.
Chief Awolowo later realized the truth and told his kinsmen to work with Igbos because he later saw the truth but his kinsmen believe Igbos are their greatest enemies. Time will teach us all the sad lesson about life.
The coup was supposed to be a revolution but the leaders messed it up by sparing all Igbo leaders making the North to find a reason to deceive the rest of Nigerians to tag it Igbo coup and gangup against Igbos, which messed Igbos up in Nigeria ever since
But my promise to those still working to enforce Moslem Jihad in Nigeria is that you guys are wasting your time, Southeast (Igbos) will never let you succeed. If you want to spread Islam, do it via progressive methods, do miracle to heal people, engage in philanthropic outreach programs to help the poor and needy, spread quality advanced education that will teach people how to research, create solutions to global problems, not outdated Islamic doctrine education that never help societies to develop, preach love and peace, and then use the opportunity to convince people to join your Islam so that their life can become better.
Using guns and sword to spread Islam or force people to become Moslems will never work in Nigeria so long as we Igbos are still part of Nigeria, we will continue to foil that evil plan without apology.
How I wish more igbos like you will come out more often to confront your people with the truth. The main reason other Nigerians will never agree with this story is the fact that the coup leaders refused to kill fellow igbo leader
If you were not igbo, you would feel exactly the way others feel about igbos.
Popular Social Media Influencer, VeryDarkMan has sworn to campaign for the rumuoured governorship ambition of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu Should he finally contests the election in 2027.
Seyi people don settle VDM
All this na part of testing the water to gauge peoples opinion
deluckiest: For the past 6 years, my wife has been monitoring all my phone lines—MTN, Glo, and Airtel. She screenshots my chats, records my calls, and even gathers proof with pictures. Changing my phone numbers doesn’t help because she says as long as I use my NIN to register a SIM, she can still track everything I do, whether openly or secretly, unless she chooses not to.
I want to put an end to this, but I don’t want to get her into trouble with the law.
Has anyone gone through something like this? How did you handle it? Please share your advice.
Leave her Maybe that will reset her brain. This behavior is a red flag, she won't respect your space and privacy
But if na me, I will simply look for ways to be monitoring her too and send guys to try her loyalty
[quote author=FreeStuffsNG post=133742479][b Hamas won the war.[/quote]
Simple. That Israel wasn't able to achieve any of its military objectives and Hamas was still able to fire rockets after 15months of mad rage, simply means Israel lost
Once Again the question that begs answering, Has America really ever won any war? Maybe the mexico wars and conflicts with other South American neighbors it can bully. Methink the American Military Industrial complex isn't built to win wars, but to be perpetuating wars so that the wheels of the industrial complex will continue turning And they have civil society allies in NGOs that will immediately move in once a war is over to provide "humanitarian assistance" And Construction companies that will rebuild.
So know this and know peace, American Economy runs on wars , conflicts and instability. The moment the world becomes still and peaceful, America falls. And America will do its best to avoid that But as it happened to others ,it's fall is inevitable ..... Its only a matter of time , and the cracks are beginning to appear
ENEJI16: To get reason person from APC na by divine intervention. Just thugs full everywhere
PDP no get thugs
Na terrorists them get, the type that kidnapped a sitting governor in Anambra Or The one type that uses minority members to impeach majority.
I live in ibadan, if you talk of political thuggery, Na only PDP we know do such, they held the state to ransom with a garrison commander named the Alafin Molete
g17prinz: I have never been the enthusiastic type when it comes to Japa, but the realities on ground in the country leaves one with little or no choice to look elsewhere for greener pastures. I have about 7m worth of landed properties, and I want to do away with it and relocate before this country leaves me with nothing at all. I graduated with a 2:1 from a federal university.
Which country affords a better opportunity for someone looking for an MSc, putting all circumstances into perspective?
I'm not a fan of Japa for everyone, everyone can't even Japa even if na free to enter al advanced countries But with you B.sc in Sociology you can find a career in the security sector if you want and then invest your 7 millions, there are new opportunities that the reforms are throwing up and even old opportunities that still pays very well..... You only need find them. Most businessmen stay put in Nigeria, why? Nigeria is on of the places with the highest returns on investments......if you have the right investments Think things through before making a final decision Don't get carried away by the Japa noise, most people japaing already have more than most of us, if you don't belong to that group don't let pressure push you to make wrong decisions. The whole world is bleeding presently and its not stopping anytime soon especially so long as the middle east is in turmoil and Ukraine was is continuing
The reason is because USA was also asettler colonial country US has to support what Israel is doing in Gaza because that's exactly what they did to native Indians they met through a series of wars, diseases and outright genocide.
Not supporting Israel will mean they regret what they did to the native Indians, they don't.
The only other major developed countries still giving Isreal blind supports are Canada and Australia....... Both also settler colonial states And Britain ........ The world renown colonial master
yarimo: Sam anyanwu is the authentic national secretary of PDP, anyone that is not comfortable with it can hug transformer with full power supply immediately
Neophytes
The highest he can do is beg for another election to take place and maybe he may have a chance at reclaiming his seat. The moment he stepped down to contest elections in imo, he is no longer the secretary.
Eriokanmi: Is Fouad Alade Oki just seeing this? Why didn't he speak when tinubu used Obasa to dethrone ambode? We all knew Obasa was a super fraudulent man, just as all the members of the Lagos House of Assembly are. The difference is that, their cups are not yet full. They too can be used and dumped like tinubu did to obasa.
How the best performing governor after pa jakande in such a short time was removed by Tinubu, using mudashiru obasa to stop funds release for the state's massive projects he embarked on, made me know for sure that karma will visit him someday. After ambode's massive order, I've not seen new Blue BRT buses on Lagos roads again. All those ambode ordered came into the country in batches until the last batch was delivered during the 1st tenure of sanwoolu. Imagine same Obasa querying ambode over those buses as if the latter ate the money, just to find baseless excuses to hack the man.
I'm earnestly praying for seyi to vie for Lagos guber, hoping the news to which obasa sharply reacted, which also led to his impeachment wasn't a mere rumour. Then they'd know we're not fools in Lagos. The trap lagosians set for tinubu over his feud with fashola's second term as governor, when we dared him to remove fashola, will catch him this time. I, just like other lagosians voted sanwoolu at the state level to complete the rail project and embark on the 4th mainland bridge which he later dropped after using it to campaign with 8D images, littering the Lagos TV space in 2023 . We're wiser now.
By the way, news on Obasa's removal has really gladdened the heart of agege people today. They were jubilating as seen on my way from work this evening. They call him mr billboards cos that's all they see every election with no visible development in place. All the state assembly members are same. Desmond Eliot's six-foot plank bridge easily came to mind. They believe once elected, nobody dares touch them.
Abegii
Did Ambode use his personal money, its state money and the buses belong to the state. Ambode really showed he isn't a politician, just like Simi In rivers , he was just the accountant general that found favour with the political elites and was helped to become governor (abi did Ambode become governor on his own?) The moment he got to power be began to dismantle the structure that brought him to power to build his own structure Which isn't a bad thing, all seasoned politicians do it But In his case he miscalculated And he did so because he wasn't a politician but a career technocrat You can't beat them in their own game they brought you in to play now And they showed him. Big lessons for ungrateful technocrats who thinks they are wiser than the politicians but can't win elections without their help.
The only currency among politicians is LOYALTY, 100%
Siminalayi Fubara is the next to learn a big lesson in politics . Technocrats ko, techno phone ni
Kobojunkie: In Nigeria today, it puts you well within the poverty bracket particularly if you have dependents apart from yourself.
Abegiii
All these bourgeois that full nairaland sef
More than 80% working class folks don't earn near that amount and they are surviving and even had a swell Christmas, all this online noise was debunked by the sheer size of Christmas celebrations
Nigeria , like most countries of the world are going through a rough patch, don't make it look like everyone in every other country is a fking billionaire, hell theres tons of homeless people all over the streets of America ......or are you one of those who prefer to sleep on American streets than cry in VI?
gr8ofnnetwork: Awaiting the response of Nigeria's Mr&Mrs "in sane clime" to remark. Anyway, since they are mentally enslaved, they will surely justify why it is a possibility in the Almighty UNITED STATEs.
Abi o People that never see anything good in their country just because their brother is not the president
In a bold and empowering move, this lady has taken to social media to share her unconventional New Year's resolution. With a fierce determination, she destroyed her intimacy gadgets, symbolizing her decision to abstain from such evil activities and draw herself closer to God and living a holy life.
The lady, who chose to remain anonymous, shared a video of herself smashing the gadgets, accompanied by a strong message if a better life with God. She expressed her desire to focus on self-love, self-care, and personal growth, leaving behind habits that no longer serve her and embrace God henceforth.
The video has sparked a mix of reactions, with some people applauding her courage and conviction, while others have expressed skepticism. However, the lady remains resolute, encouraging others to join her in embracing a more mindful and intentional approach to life
She better work on herself
Thats the only reason she's dissatisfied and not attractive to most men.
Your own is not good enough,their own is the best. No let anybody gaslight you.
We all know what we are doing.
Only political neophytes get blackmailed by their noise and the I'm yourba buts
Even some Christian northerners that were received during elections are now regretting allowing igbos gaslight them not to vote their own indigenous candidates.
Kudos to all Omoluabis that resisted the gaslighting and ensured our own got there.
I have no problem with destruction of People's properties by Lagos state government, but what I have problem is them destroying people's properties without any prior notice. You just wake up one morning and your house is leveled aground without any form of compensation. The same modus operandi the emperor of Obio Akpor is using in Abuja. If I say what is on my mind now , I am going to be labeled a tribalist, So let me just keep shut.
However ,if actually this is how the land were everyone is a PhD holder is operating primitively and sadistically, I am sorry for the land that no one has common first school leaving certificate.
Nobody ever have their properties demolished without prior notice What usually happens is that the notice is open ended meaning it has no expiry So once government serve you , even if they don't come back to carry out the demolition for years , you can't claim ignorance and this is where most people miss it, expecting a fresh notice
ozoneboy: Common go and seat down,always hailing people who have made it,is success a taboo to u and ur family?,that u will not mentionone person in ur generation from the 1st to the infinity members.
Is she no longer Mrs Wike? Nobody dey drag her igboness with una except you want to prove to us that igbo spouses of Niger delta men are use and dump
paramakina202: You mean Justice Eberechi Wike you are people are so confused. They should appoint Justice Eberechi that will be good replacement. That was how Mike Okiro claimed southsouth from Rivers satte and he was appointed IG of police today he is campaigning to become PG of Ohanaeze ndi Igbo and Rivers state people whose turn it is to produce PG is saying Mike Okiro is actually from Imo state.
Is she no longer Mrs Wike ? I didn't even know she's igbos, all I'm concerned about her is her being Mrs Wike
. Someone trying so hard to get an appointment with PBAT government And seems to be getting upset that his efforts are not being rewarded And it's because of all the opposition spokespersons during last election, Reno was the most vile ,and he used his influence as a social media influencer to do a lot of damage to PBAT campaign......even if PBAT wants to forgive him, his handlers won't allow him to Besides he can't get an appointment because he is of no political value to pbat.
If the situation remains for some months,be sure he will once again port to another candidate that can foot his bills.
Makes you wonder why the hegemonic despots, pulling the strings from behind the scenes, are so desperate for this woman to continue presiding over this laughable case! They probably don't want to take the pains to find yet another judge they can compromise or threaten into sticking to the script!
They have one at hand now Its justice wike Won't be surprised if she asked to take over the case, It will be a death blow to the igbos
Eniolohunda: So so foolish news from Nigeria, killing, kidnapping, and all sorts of nonsense. If you live in Nigeria, you would think the world is going to an end tomorrow with the kinda news every day. I pity those saying Nigeria is the best country they can live.
Mention the country that doesn't have its own internal problems
It doesn't exist
Nigeria is actually one of the best places to live
Where else will celebrities be buying billions of naira worth properties and their local government is not getting a dime from them, can such happen anywhere in Europe or America that's the model of high standard of living?
Achor1111: Common sense no go dey this year at all.
Na you wey no go allow others air their opinion, a right you have , is the one without common sense This is a democracy for God's sake Even if you wish , not everyone will want or vote for your candidate Its not possible for PO to get 100% votes, some people will vote against him
Except you people are only pretending to be democratic while you are actually tyrants
So make una stop all this stupid gaslighting of Helinues He exercised his right Just like you exercised yours.
Besides whoever told you folks Democracy as a form of government doesn't have its flaws, it's not perfect If PO had won, you think he won't make any mistakes or that he will meet all the expectations of everybody ?
We are looking for good leaders , not saint (pun intended )
Nnamdipapa: Is It True That Short People Are Always Stubborn?
There’s this saying in Nigeria that "na small pepper dey hot pass." It reflects a widespread belief that short people are inherently stubborn or feisty. But is there any truth to this claim, or is it just one of those playful stereotypes Nigerians love to throw around and slap on people?
In Nigeria's cultural context, we thrive on humor and banter. Many of our stereotypes come from lived experiences, observations, and outright exaggerations. The idea that short people are stubborn could stem from the way they’ve been perceived to compensate for their lack of height in a society where "tall" is often equated with leadership or authority.
Short people in Nigeria often develop big personalities to avoid being overshadowed—literally and figuratively. They’re the ones you’ll find arguing loudly in bus parks, defending their positions fiercely at family meetings, or taking leadership roles in unexpected places.
Stubbornness in this context could mean determination, resilience, or simply not taking nonsense from anyone. Many short Nigerians have grown up being teased or underestimated because of their height. This can lead to a natural tendency to assert themselves, proving that "size no be problem." Consider successful Nigerians who’ve been described as stubborn (in a good way) due to their drive. Isn’t this "stubbornness" simply a trait of people who refuse to let societal biases define them?
Looking at science, researchers suggest that people with perceived disadvantages, such as height, often overcompensate by being more assertive or dominant. However, these are generalizations. Personality is shaped more by upbringing, environment, and experiences than by height. On the flip side, we know some tall people can be stubborn also. Nigerians will always say, “Everybody get their own wahala.” Stubbornness is not exclusive to short people; it’s a human trait. Some of the most rigid people you’ll meet are tall, quiet, and unyielding.
While it’s fun to joke about these stereotypes, let’s remember that they don’t define anyone. Not all short people are stubborn, just like not all tall people are gentle. Nigerians, regardless of height, are known for their resilience, wit, and ability to thrive in adversity.
So, what is your experience with short people especially the "Maltina bottle" guys?
Its the feeling that everyone is looking down on them that make them behave like that
There no short person I know that doesn't feel this way, I will if I were short
