Perhaps when you leave Aso Rock next year, your eyes will be opened to the nonsense you've been writing these past years...

USELESS TERRORIST PACIFIER...

presidency:
A story broke last week that you would think would be everywhere, topic of discussion on both traditional and new media. But not a murmur, nor a whisper. In fact, mum was the word in many quarters.

What was the story? The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), an international and independent, not-for-profit think-tank, released what it calls Global Terrorism Index 2022. And it had this to say about Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA):

“There was a ten per cent improvement in terrorism deaths in SSA. The improvement can be attributed to the successful counter insurgency operations targeting Boko Haram where deaths caused by the group declined by 72 per cent between 2020 and 2021, from 629 deaths to 178 deaths. Nigeria recorded the second biggest reduction in deaths. This is more than the overall decrease in terrorism deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa. Attacks by the group also significantly decreased, halving from the prior year to 64 attacks.”

The truth is that a single wanton death is one too many anywhere. But when in a country that had suffered thousands of deaths yearly since Boko Haram emerged in 2009, killings now reduced by 72 per cent, it is a very significant development. It is something that should hug the headlines, dominate the talk shows, go viral on social media, and be of interest to social commentators. But not a murmur, nor a whisper, as I said earlier. As if in a conspiracy of silence, nobody talked about the report. The media didn’t report it, and those that did, superciliously tucked it away in a place where you would need to put on the torchlight before you would see it.

Now, just imagine that the same report had indicated that there was a spike in Boko Haram killings in Nigeria, with the carnage exceeding that of the previous year by 100 per cent. All hell would have broken loose. It would be lead headline in most publications. Some television stations would scroll the story in their news bar round the clock, for many days. It would be the topic of discussion on morning and evening discussion programs. We would be almost deafened by the cacophony. So-called security experts and social activists would be invited, and they would be pontificating all day.

Why do we as a people show more interest in negative, rather than positive news? Bandits killed scores of vigilantes in Kebbi this week, and the news was everywhere. But last week, security agencies had neutralized minimum of 200 bandits in Niger State, and it was nothing to play up. It did not resonate in the media, traditional or new. Not a murmur, nor a whisper. Strange. Very strange.

President Muhammadu Buhari came our way in 2015, promising to secure the country, revive the economy, and fight corruption. Rather than encourage him, what some people had been engaged in is sticking a pin into the soft underbelly of the various wars. No plaudits. No bravo. No encouragement. He didn’t do this, he didn’t do that, is all they are interested in. The economy recorded 3.4% growth last year, the best since 2014, no murmur, no whisper. The anti-corruption war has seen convictions in thousands between 2015 and now, yet, what interests some people is how the war is allegedly selective, even without a scintilla of evidence. And when there are strides in the battle against insecurity, their narrative remains the same. Oh, life is nasty, brutish and short here.

Yes, we still have severe security challenges. But are we where we used to be? Don’t we see a fulfillment of promises by President Buhari that he would ensure that the vermin of insecurity is extirpated in the country? The pessimists have not changed their tongues, nor their minds, despite the positive strides being attained. The report by IEP says Nigeria recorded the lowest number of killings last year, since 2011. No murmur, no whisper.

We should rather applaud the President, and our security agencies for the yeoman’s job they are doing. May God bless Baba Buhari. And our troops. Our policemen. National Security and Civil Defence Corps. Everyone that fights evil, so that the citizens can live in peace. May God bless them.

When you exhibit loud silence about positive developments in your country, and scream blue murder when there are reversals, you are a hypocrite, a hater of your country, and a hater of all that is good. Sad, dolorous, mournful.

Despite the security challenges we still have, the truth is that we are not where we used to be. Chief of Defence Staff, General LEO Irabor said it just last week. True. And we will get to where we want to be. The job will get done. And we will join Mungo Park to enthuse, when he ‘discovered’ the River Niger:

“I saw with infinite pleasure the great object of my mission-the long sought for majestic Niger, glittering to the morning sun.”

Nigeria has sought peace for long, from insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, and all sorts of criminality. We will see the peace, glittering to the morning sun.

*Adesina is Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity

Mr Adesina,
I wonder how you actually get to sleep at night? Because you have sold your conscience for a temporary mess of Aso Pottage which surely will end next year.
In your wildest dreams you believe Nigeria is much safer than in 2014/15? You craftily replaced one type of terror with another! See the hundreds MURDERED in their innocent sleep across the land, the depth of economic desolation that has driven many to either suicide or ritual murders and fraud, and the complete destruction of our systems.
Well... Time is a patient god... Along with its sibling karma

That Abba Kyari is a corrupt police officer and a criminal is no more surprising, we have crossed the bridge last year.

What should grab our attention now is the high smelling level of corruption and deceit in the police force. The NPF told all Nigerians that Abba Kyari has been suspended of his duties subsequent on his investigation. But today we were all made aware that it was all smokescreen, Abba Kyari has been functioning as a full fledged police officer even with his own police team under his beck and call.

He wasn't even bothered about the crime he committed and the "so called investigation" against him. He has been committing more crimes and arrests with the blessings of the Nigeria Police Force. This should tell all and sundry about the decay that is the NPF, the more senior you are, the more corrupt you are.

I think we shouldn't not just be flashing light exclusively on Abba Kyari, rather all lights and indignation should be zoomed upon the NPF authorities.

God bless you!
Nigerians are so easy to deceive. The first question I asked when this broke was HOW COME A SUSPENDED OFFICER IS STILL OPERATING FULLY??
The NPF doesn't rate us at all!
This is NO SCRIPT! This is karma for the entire NPF!

First I want peace in my home and I've been enjoying relative peace in my home.

I've been married for less than a year. I called my wife to discuss how we could keep the house clean and I went on to tell her that she puts things where they shouldn't be. She got upset and called her mum, she was crying while speaking with her mum over the phone.

Her mom called and we both made peace I discovered that she was recording our argument but I chose not to confront her there and then.

A day later, I asked why she was recording me and she lied but I gave her facts and she agreed. She said if I've nothing to fear why am I being upset about it. She said I should record her too cus she observed that when we speak to her mum after an incident I don't say the whole truth.

We both live overseas and she is the only person I've here.

I want peace in my home and I don't like trouble

You're in Big trouble... Very Big trouble especially as you live overseas...

Phils:
One of the most poisonous snake in Nigeria.

Even though you look experienced in handling the creature, but be careful. Vipers are know to have fangs that can rotate back and front, together or independently. They can find a way to inject venom if not well immobilized.

These creature are dangerous, such that in many that are ovoviviparous (hold eggs inside their bodies, where they hatch inside emerge as living), the pregnant viper delivers on top of a tree to allow the newly delivered snake drop off and move on. A strike from the newly delivered snake can kill the mother-snake.

You sound like a seasoned snake enthusiast like myself. I hate the damn creatures but I admire them...
This is one hooooooge adder mehnnn

Please i need advise

I have been dating my girlfriend for some years now. She became an orphan recently, so I decided to open a shop for her so she can start earning something for her not to turn herself into something else since no family support.

Though she also invested all her savings into the business and I supported her also with the little i can. I thank God her business has been doing well and developing gradually.

But her behaviour has really changed seriously towards me. She hardly dail my number to check on me, she also goes out with any guy or men, she also password her phone, i cant even touch her phone, she will flare up. She will say it's nothing that she is just catching fun. I do overlook all this just to make peace rain.

Something happened yesterday that make me feel so bad. I told her I'm coming to visit her in her shop that if any food seller pass her shop, she should help me order food. So when I reached her side she told me to bring money that she can't use her money to buy food for me. I felt somehow inside with her response. I had to give her the money to get it because hunger dey wire me seriously.

So after I'm done eating, I was gisting with her but she is not responding, she was pressing phone, then a call entered and he told the man she is in her shop, that the man should stay at the junction that she is coming to meet him, she stood up and told me to be looking after her shop till she comes back. I was really dumbfounded and shocked, I coundn't utter any word as i don't want to talk or do anything silly as people are plenty around her shop. She left me there, I stood up also and left the shop. I really felt bad and sad. This is a person i have really tried my best for since she lost her parents. I'm planning to send her packing from the shop first, but my bro said i shouldnt try it that it's childish for me. He said I should chill for now. please I need your advice on how to go about this.

NOTE; I rent the shop for my MUM just to use it as her second shop to store her goods. Though the shop is too big, so i told her to let us split it into two, my gf can use the other half.

Baba, just collect your shop back and let her CATCH HER FUN... No mumu yourself oh

Please help me out.

I have an issue in my relationship and it's getting me really pissed.

So let me say this, I have only dated two persons, one sometime in 2016 and this new relationship that's been at it for 2 years.

My girlfriend seem to think it's cool for her to hangout with guys that are toasting or want to sleep with her.

These are the same ppl she calls friends, not ppl she has known for long oh but ppl she just met and want to sleep with her.

NOTE: my gf has really big ass, big enough it causes stares when we go out.

So you can imagine the number of advances she gets.

I really want to know from people, guys, do you allow your girlfriend hang out with such ppl?

Ladies, you do entertain such invites? why?

If your GF loves to sleep over at her chykers place and sees NOTHING WRONG, trust me, she's just a well packaged runs babe.
Just console yourself that you are dating a mid class runs babe. How can a goat be comfortable in the company of wolves? Bros, enjoy the s3x with her and find someone else that is mentally responsible in this age of s3xed up attitudes

Something is definitely wrong with you guys... Who the fuq eats a cobra? Python is okay but cobra God!

From my own personal experience, let them be. When next u see the girl, pretend you dont even know her. After the entire event, sit with her and resolve to forget your past. As far as both of you are now concerned, the past NEVER existed.
Let them live in peace and love (if they are in love)

How did a cobra get into your house man
Please fumigate and clear any unused or redundant property immediately. You may have more hanging around and if you have kids around its really going to be a dangerous environment for them.

Sometimes I just wonder the kind of people I'm sharing Nairaland with... Snake eaters everywhere, no sense of preservation of life... Every animal MUST be eaten... SHAME!

This is a Herpes Zooster resolving rash

Herpes Zooster Rash

You could have what is called Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
No antibiotics will solve this. Its not a bacterial infection but your intestine being constantly irritated by something, most likely gluten based. The solution? See a Consultant Gastroenterologist for a proper review

Dear Nairalanders,
I have an issue that has been on my mind for weeks now. My fiancé and I have been dating for over three years. I love him and he loves me too. We are physically attracted to each other. We’re both catholic but since I graduated, during my service year I gave my life to Christ, got saved and left the Catholic Church. So I’ve been a Pentecostal Christian since then. He on the other hand is still catholic. I subtly try to nudge him to consider getting saved, i.e acknowledging Christ as lord and savior and becoming born again but he is content with his laidback Christian life.

Earlier this year, he asked to meet my parents and I let him. My parents like him especially because my younger sis is married and they have been waiting for me too. They’re glad I’ve someone. However, after the introduction,I regret it. I’m now certain that he’s not the one. I think about my spiritual life and how lukewarm he is about the things of God, I think about kids and how we’ll raise the, with such differing views about God and I’m discouraged. I feel like I’m settling because he checks all the boxes on the checklist of physical attributes. Another mistake I made is, I didn’t pray about this decision and that worries me because anything that involves him,I just act with pausing to ask God, but I always ask God about other aspects of my life. So it’s like my associating with him is a minus for my spiritual life and that’s a huge cause for concern.

At this point, I want to tell my parents I am not convinced it’s him but I’m afraid of the disappointment this will cause. *sigh* I’ll appreciate your thoughts, comments, criticisms...

You're simply a CHURCHIST. Not a Christian.
If you truly love him, your life will be enough ministration for him. Not loving a man because of your religious inclination and belief is fundamentalism.

lol well the truth is those shit coins could be major coins in years to come.

Just know what you are doing and if you must invest wisely, for for the known coins like Bitcoin, Etherium, lite coin ,dash and so on. And if you can get free coins why not.

Hmmmmmm
Even those ones have dropped the value of my cash investment by 30%!!!

Everything in this life is a scam somehow

Bello should think outside the box... organise a Friday/Saturday "Locked In" Groove. Nobody steps outside the club, create sleeping pads for "interested" patrons to "ease" off while clubbing. Club night starts at 6pm with entry and entry ends at 8pm. Keep the music low and ensure the gates are locked at 8pm
