Miracle1991:
unfortunately, anybody that is expecting herders to come and stay inside town with their catle is not normal. So check yourself if you are normal. How will you feel if we said every Igbo Man should go back to the east.

You are talking trash does Igbo chase Hausa man selling soya, or Hausa man repairing shoes or gateman, Money changers e.t.c but Fulani herdsmen occupying people farmland . I'm sure you have a common sense if not let me ask you, how many Igbos come to Fulani land and forceful took Fulani farmland, build a house or destroyed Fulani farmland I'm sure you know what Fulani we do that Igbo man?

Even if i don't support forcefully evicting Fulani herdsmen out of Ebonyi states but government are to be blamed. How many people have being slaughtered in Ebonyi states by so called Fulani herdsmen what has the government do? they keep mute, people farmland destroyed everyday what does the government do? nothing. But ordinary Fulani huts is burnt by farm owner, Umahi are calling for more AK47 to share for Fulani in his state instead of asking them to come out of farmland and live in town like Igbos does in Fulani land. Can any Igbos go to Fulani land and forceful took Fulani farmland, build a house or destroyed Fulani farmland I'm sure you know what Fulani we do that Igbo man?

How many house of people were demolished in Abuja, Lagos and other part of country by government and is called illegal structures but ordinary a huts build in a people farmland by herdsmen Umahi wouldn't allowed us hear something.

Umahi you are certainly not making sense, let them come out of people farm rent a house and live like normal people.

useless Wike how can you give 3 days notice not even a week.

wike come to my mind, power drunk .

The ESN Ebonyi branch yesterday carried out a raid in izzi local government area of Ebonyi state after issue several warning to fulani herdsmen occupying their Land that make people of izzi fearful of going to there farmland, majority of them are from Gambia and Mali . They urge them to stop living in people farmland terrorizing the community rather they should go to town rent a house and live like normal human being.

Nigeria like to complain yet they will keep on campaigning for looters to be president, what is people like Orji Kalu, Tinubu, Osibanjo, Atiku, etc who have track record of corruptions still doing in the affair of a nation while we have people like Peter Obi with fair record if not for tribal bigotry in Nigeria politic.

You and your principal are the same. Government run by scammers.

misleading headline.

The Nnamdi Kanu Eastern Security Network Anambra command resume patrol after a Doctor was shot by Fulani herdsmen at Ogoja.

please tell us what Akalaka means in Bini since he is the origin of Ikwere as you claimed.

Webmannigeria:
Lawan is worst He got no shame at least the House try sometimes to be a bit different but the Senate is just an extension of Buhari's inner chambers

where does the house try to be a different. say something different in the public and dance in their tune in the back just like Osibanjo. we saw how formal house stood against Buhari.

I understand that many Nigerians like taking the law into their hands when thief or arm robber are caught but do you also know that many have died for wrongly accused of certain crime they do not commit. This are some of the reason you should aviod Jungle Justice.

1. Many can accuse someone wrongly out of hatred or sentiment and as a bystander you may not know the actual story of thing and before you realised what you have done the person is dead or in critical condition. It happened in 2019 somewhere in South Africa when two Nigeria was accused of kidnapping a young girl who turn out to be the daughter of one of the victims . And Nigeria with the type of hatred they have on another tribe I have no doubt that it can happen here.

2. Thiefs can turn to accuse their victim of being the thiefs and before you know it the person is dead by mob and the actual theif will find a way to escape . I have read a story of youngmen who stole from someone ran away and while the victim was shouting ole ole, they get to a corner hide and once the owner entered the corner they started beating her calling her thiefs and people gathered without letting the woman to speak and those men sneak away letter it was discovered that the woman is innocent.

3. killing a theif by mob will create more radical arms robbers than those soft robbers who can have a little empathy for their victims and it will also make the work of police more difficult during there investigation for that certain crime because the evidence is dead.

4. Jungle Justice make the killers no different from the robbers or thiefs. lastly our law enforcement ageny should try and be proactive in fighting crime because I'm sure if police are honest in there work of protecting life and property this jungle justice will be a things of the past.

Juliusmalema:
Not interested in your igbo jargons whether he is high or low igbo...I don't care.

He is from Imo state and should start limiting the nonsense threads Imo issues. nearly all ikwerre threads are created by them plus their abia counterpart.

They should go and sort their issues with ikwerre out. others aren't interested in the nonsense. who care whether ikwerre is igbo or not?

everyone will never be igbo.



Imo and Abia shouldn't use their uselessness and obsession with ikwerre to be disturbing others....If they like ikwerre that much let them go and be discussing with them offline and not transporting their various stewwwpiddity to nairaland.

I don't care what you spewing out but I have said my mind, I have no business with Wike, he don't pay me a salary and I don't care if he choose to be Igbo or not. Lastly I'm not from Imo state or Abia state, so stop writing rubbish.

I was just wondering why Wike Wife Name is Eberechi an Igbo name why not Bini Name as he claimed.

Since he Knows he is not an Igbo that his parents made a mistake by naming him with Igbo name he should have name his Children Osaze, Uromi or any Bini Names instead of the same Igbo name.

Wicked Wike we are still waiting to see those wife of desease police that you said where killed in River state.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Did you see what happened during end SARS protest ??. How the government later hijacked it with thugs ??.. Don't you see how elections take place here ??. Nigeria is a failed hellhole with an analog brain terrorist as President in this 21st century.

I still find it difficult to see our police, Army and other security service protecting those evil men that paid them peanut that can hardly provide for them and their families.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Nigeria is a country that kills dreams. Nothing works here. Just thank your star if you are born with a silver spoon in Nigeria.

We can change Nigeria bro, we the citizen can't continue to be afraid of this evil men and females running the affair of this great Country.

Sbsrules:
They will still loot the money....the leaders need to be.changed first.

Something need to be done in this Country, even our dear elderly people who have worked tiredless can not be paid their pensions to feed for themselves after retiring.

For a developing country, South Africa has a well-established social welfare system and a large proportion of social spending goes towards social grants. More than 18 million social grants are paid monthly.

Social Grants are in place to improve standards of living and redistribute wealth to create a more equitable society. Sections 24 through 29 of the Bill of Rights in the South African Constitution recognise the socio-economic rights of citizens, including the right to social security. The government is obligated to progressively realise these rights, meaning that “the state must take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to achieve the progressive realisation of the right.”

Social grants are administered by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). SASSA is mandated by the South African Social Security Agency Act of 2004 to “ensure the provision of comprehensive social security services against vulnerability and poverty within the constitutional legislative framework”.

The Social Assistance Act of 2004 and regulations to the act provide the legal framework for the administration of seven social grants. Grants are targeted at categories of people who are vulnerable to poverty and in need of state support. These are older people, people with disabilities and children. Also, the Social Relief of Distress award provides immediate temporary assistance to people in dire need of financial support and is given to people in the form of vouchers, food parcels or money for a three month period.

Grants available include:

Child Support Grant
Older Person’s Grant
Disability Grant
Grant-in-Aid
Care Dependency Grant
War Veteran’s Grant
Foster Child Grant
Applicants for social grants must be South African citizens, permanent residents or refugees and currently living in South Africa.

Except for the Foster Child Grant and the Grant in Aid, social grants in South Africa are currently “means tested”. The means test is the process of assessing the value of your assets and income. You will only be eligible for a grant if your income and assets fall below a certain threshold. This threshold is different for all the grants and will depend on whether or not you are married. The amount you receive for your Old Age Grant and the Disability Grant is also determined by the means test and you may not necessarily receive the maximum amount offered by SASSA.

If you do some work or have another source of income but still really need social assistance you can still apply for a grant. You must declare all your income and assets to SASSA. If you receive the disability grant, old-age grant or war veterans grant your monthly money will be reduced according to how much money you earn.

If you are admitted to a state institution for an extended period of time, the value of your Old Age Grant, Disability Grant or War Veteran’s Grant will be reduced to 25% of its value from the 4th month following your admission until you are discharged.
