i think it's about time, the operators of the bus service speak up or make annoiuncement for their service
it's very difficult to understand who to put quetsions to the government or Lamata/lagbus

Reference: Honestly, I don't know when and where this sordid sub-culture started. Hard wired in the minds of those who patronize black industries. I travel a lot within the country and you can't escape the danger within the minds of the perps and public. So sad. The hotel owner should have been more pro-active in rejecting the patronage of the arrested robber. See the trouble he has brought on himself. And this is why I continue to emphasize that the private sector and the service industry in general cannot continue to pretend it is not involved in corruption and crime. If you are patronized by robbers, embezzlers, kidnappers or whatever selling them services, be it banking, real estate, insurance, medical, ICT, security, even doing their damn laundry, you can get burnt badly and in this case even loose your life. Corruption is real, avoid it.

but you cant really scrutinise every one coming to lodge at a hotel or use your service can you. How will the hotel know the criminals amonst their clients

hrhobi1: If the police had an helicopter , getting those guys would have been easy.

erm they do have helicopters but its not for these sort of official duties, its for ferrying the wife of governors and ministers

some use it as revenue generation

story sounds somehow

robbers dont go for 'revenge' except the hotel called the police to arrest the gang leader in the first place, imagine all the hotel,bars etc that these guys are caught weekly

and why isnt the name of the gang leader mentioned, has he been charged to court or he's still waiting in a detention centre

the legend: Heard this incident occurred at Ajah Lagos. Can anyone confirm the exact hotel?

04 hotel

django1: Where's Naptu to come and explain to us how this will work

You trust Senior Naptu to explain lag government scheme intoto dont ya?!

he makes vanguard journalists and teh rest look lazy and incompetent

nitrogen: Yes, ICAN result is out, I am one of the newest ACAs in town. Thank God.

Meanwhile, only 30 made the PE 2 four papers at once, and 384 passed PE 2 out of 3800 candidates that sat for the exams, also 498 out of over 5200 PE 1 candidates passed. The results should be online tomorrow.

As you check yours, Good Luck!

Well done Nitro!!! Congratulations!!!!

4 Play: The main problem for me is that we have a corrupt Govt that cannot be trusted with money. Other than that, Nigeria has major infrastructure needs that require heavy borrowing for the Govt to finance it.

Another pattern I have noticed is for Nigerians to bemoan our disproportionate recurrent expenditure whilst expressing glib condemnations about Aso Rock food budget and the National Assembly members's obscene allowances. Whilst these are examples of waste, it is an act of self-delusion to ignore the reality that most of our recurrent expenditure is made up of public sector wages and fuel subsidy. If Nigerians really want to curtail recurrent expenditure, they will have to accept the removal of fuel subsidy and reduction of the public sector wage bill.

The reality is that we have the country we deserve. A people prone to supporting bone headed economic policies and tribal causes have no right to a prosperous and peaceful country.

perhaps if/when they block leakages; abandon projects, abandoned ministries/departments,reduce presidential jets etc

[quote author=Somorin#1]The threat is documented very well in the beginning of the thread.

I'm not responsible for your comprehension aptitude.[/quote]erm you were reading a comment from youtube not the video- the source of the comment, you cant prove

All the neighborhood watch teams looking for some cheap thrill sef!

dabossman: Do you find the bolded to be an impossible scenario? Was it not in this country that four boys were lynched simply because someone labelled them thieves? Is it not in this country that students abducted their VC and put him in a metal drum? Is lynching and jungle justice unheard of in this country?

Yes I actually do

lol license to kill, very soon police guards attached to banks will be using the same excuse

[quote author=Itoroetti ]GEJ started a good work in bayelsa,he doubled the frquency wen he became nigeria's president.I respect u sir.
They'll criticise u now,but later,they'll appreciate what u did.[/quote]you mean apart from being the president of nigeria he also doubles as the governor/miniter for Bayelsa ?

decode: Government is financed by tax revenue and borrowings. Besides the loan is cheap @ 3% (cooperative rate).

cheap loans that arent used for revenue generating projects or visibly completed project are a pain in the backside

dabossman: I don't know what some of you are on about, but I watched this video several times and the police officer was asking a rhetorical question, which he followed with an answer himself. He asked those gathered/someone in their midst: "I should let you rough-handle him? I will gun you down"

He is apparently a security detail to the dude in the business suit. Now tell me, if you are a bodyguard to someone, and that person is under threat of physical attack, what would you do?

He wasn't threatening anyone, he was only relaying standard procedure of what would have resulted if they had tried to lynch or attack the person he was detailed to protect.

I have no love for the police. I totally detest them and their ineptitude, but I won't give a dog a bad name just to hang it.

Lord have mercy!!!

imagine o I will gun you down!

FAAN officials would lynch a concessionaire??

HOW FAR

.

Citizens can't prance around threatening to disarm Police Officers willy nilly.

we all watched a video, apparently you are the only one that heard the threat?

coincidentally this is the defence nigerian police use all the time, a protester was shot last year, a student was shot on a bike a month ago in benin, another student was shot in the leg in ilorin- why are all these silly prats prancing about where an armed officer is, it's not enough they are untrained citizen and actually appear non-threatening

Y'ALL BETTER START LEARNING CHINESE!!! LOL

and teach your children mandarin cos when these people come for their money eh

[quote author=Somorin#1]And it's as easy and plain as that.

Not sure why some fail to see the danger in threatening to disarm a police officer, especially in an already tense situation.[/quote]BECAUSE, there was nothing like that in the video!!

the response (verbal) 'you will rough handle him' doesnt sound like a reply to i will disarm you

you're making too much excuses for brutalilty, tense situation or not,armed officers should be professional not threatening!

CAN someone just please list the number of projects that have been completed with all these chinese loans, they never finish their project it seems, they like recurring loans- esp in the rail sector- mos tannoying part is it's their companies and staff that will be implenting the projects

Ngwakwe: The Policeman was Right in this context.

The video was doctored, the same with what transpired in the Governors Forum Video.

Half truth is same as Terror (Truth + error = Terror)

The FAAN staff was threatening to disarm the Police and this infuriated the Policeman who was attached to Chief Akande the MD of AIG hence the response to gun him down if he attempts it.

starting to notice; almost all videos in nigeria is discredited as doctored. na wa o

ahh here's Somorin again fresh from the NYSC brutality page

after watching a video of Jay-Z and Timbaland working in the studion together when she was 9.

well done to her

I think i remember this video excerpt, it was on the Fade to Black final tour video, the beat was Big- i think someone else used the beat though

Dont really know the issue with 'international'

Any airport/govt that can attract airline to do business in their state should go ahead
instead of looking for the word 'international'

They should lobby the ministers to give allocations for direct landing slots to foreign operators; most of them have the funds to upgrade their airport to acceptable standards anyway, it's not until it has the tag international that it becomes one

if not for politics, this Kano airport shouldn't be in the list of 'remodeled or renovation exercise' not yet anyway
absolute waste of money

please remove the attached pic, it has nothing to do with the topic and it's too big

thanks

You think the FG even notice lol

looooong thing!

how about making the paypal or alternate account number readily available

less cumbersome IMO

Acidosis: Have you ever been to Kano?

Are you aware Kano is the second largest state in terms of commercial activity within Nigeria and the second most populous state in the country ? (check wiki)

Do you know Kano & Lagos are competing in terms of population?

Are you aware people troop in to that city like pure water for trade, business and investment?

Are you aware we have a standard football pitch in Kano state where footballers all over the world troop in until recently (crisis and all) ?

Are you aware Kano state governor is sending his people in hundreds on a daily basis for scholarships right from that Kano airport to any country you can think of in the world?

Do you know foreign investments and investors are all over the city?

Hope you know people who troop in to Kano just to order cars are more than those going to Lagos and Cotonou put together? Everything in Kano is relatively cheap!

Hope you know Kano state is the "Centre of Commerce"

Are you aware there are over 70 Hotels in the city- Kano? (not state).

I don tire for my west, south people o...
My dear, don't limit yourself to nairaland cos if you do, you'll not know anything aside Fashola, and maybe Amaechi and ACN..
Even if you can't travel to places, spread your horizon!!

these are historic claims, 2013 is very different from those days
lived in Kano before

how many flights are going in and out of kano and which airlines? Kabo died many years ago
only comes alive during Hajj

everyone's moved to Abuja with their business except for the lebanese contractor who handle most of the engineering stuff

mind you Maiduguri/Borno is "Home of Peace"

Scholarship on daily basis and that is sustainable development for the airport business eh?

Foreign investment such as?

nice development though, seems like this will be in government hand forever no private investor can make a profit from this airport except they build and international conference centre right in the middle of the airport with hotel
so people can pop in and out sharp sharp

Joyfullyme: Carefully listen to what he said.
"I should leave you to rough handle him? I will gun you down."
If you look carefully you would notice that it was a group that wanted to confront somebody.

wow so that's enough to gun him down ? not even arrest him?

choi

iheneme: You conveniently left out the fact that before she was pushed the Camp Commandant had ordered everyone in but she was still there explaining. She got pushed once, still she was questioning the soldier's authority. You speak of human rights, doesn't the Camp Commanded have the right to be respected/obeyed?

SHE WAS EXPLAING TO ANOTHER uniformed person according to the story!
right to be respected? huh
does that include physical punishment? whatever happen to communication
all their training is in basic animal cruelty?

These crazy army soldiers that never get punished,
instead they get relocated somewhere else to continue their barbaric assault on innocent people


who would be picking up the bills?

Hope the nysc insurance scheme is not just on paper

I mean surely CAF wont just suspend a club on a whimp, perhaps NFF couldnt produce a document and were foot dragging probably photoshopping and backdating some paper work from oluwole

seems if we dont get embarrassed on the international stage we cant change

isnt this like the third time they are changing uniforms?

what happened to the light blue ones, seems its only the seniors wearing it

[quote author=emma_best2000]During OBJ Regime he visited china and nothing happened , GEJ visit will be the same thing also [/quote]no more loans from china so their companies CECC CNECC CCC etc can continue unending contracts that doesnt seems to end- abuja metro has been on forever, standard guage lag-ibadan has no deadline etc etc
