naaija: Rehabilitation of Upper Iweka Touts in ANAMBRA
Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, in October reiterated that the days of touts in the state are numbered and a full blown war has been declared on them.
He maintained that in an environment where lawlessness has become a culture, bringing back law and order will be difficult.
Governor Soludo made the statement during the launching of the Anambra Special Anti-Touting Squad held at Upper Iweka, Onitsha.
Mid November, Chibuzor Okoye of ABS News reported that SASA Arrested 413 Touts, Sets Of "One Chance" Criminal Gangs, Illegal Revenue Collectors In Onitsha, Environs
The report claimed that the Anambra Anti-Touting Squad (SASA) within one week apprehended 413 touts, illegal revenue collector's and four sets of "one chance" criminal gangs in Onistha and it's environs.
In the past few days, a video of the rehabilitation of the arrested touts made rounds on social media platforms in the state as they are forced to sing the Governor’s praise by Homeland Antitouting Unit in ANAMBRA state. The de-radicalization approach has also drawn criticisms as it reflects a similar old terrifying video that showcased the experiences of Okuzu SARS inmates inmates in the state that formed part of the ENDSARS protests nationwide.
Nonetheless, the notorious activities of these touts and criminals cause loads of harms and many times cost innocent persons their lives/livelihoods.
Biodun556: Ologun Kutere was the product of the marriage between Erelu Kuti, daughter of Oba Ado, and Alaagba (short form of ' Alagbigba'), an Ijesha traditional adviser to Oba Akinsemoyin.[2] He was the first successor to the throne through a matrilineal line, and the Yoruba line to the throne.[1
Ologun Kutere reigned as Oba of Lagos from around the 1780s to around 1803.[1] He succeeded Oba Eletu Kekere who reigned between 1775 and 1780. "Ologun" is the Yoruba word for "War General".
Up till today, ologun kutere is the only family line that produces Oba of Lagos.
The Benin ancestry came to an end with King Akinsemoyin
All Christians I know are terrorists of various degrees. That’s the truth. But they like crying wolf of the muslims. I was terrorised by Christian fanatic teachers all through my school years. They don’t have to carry gun or bomb me down before I am terrorised.
I can see that you are angry when truth is told. Enjoy your business empire. Remember IPOB are Christian terrorists operating in SE. And the greatest terrorists on earth is America. They are Christians.
ovamalik: Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, has issued a warning to an unnamed female minister, urging her to cease presenting herself as the First Lady of Nigeria. The caution, delivered via Bwala's verified social media handle, highlighted concerns about the minister's conduct around President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, emphasizing potential complications for her in doing so.
He wrote, “The beauty pageant minister should be advised by the protocol say make she no dey package herself near presido like say she be First Lady in every trip when she follow them.
" First Lady fit sack am ohhh. I no even know wetin carry humanitarian matter follow trip abroad sef, except if her job include hurricane catrina, Haiti earthquake, flood for china, cyclone mocha, earthquake for Turkey etc.”
Reports further indicate that this female minister has allegedly been involved in questionable activities within an office close to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The need for immediate intervention is stressed, emphasizing the importance of reigning her in and instilling a sense of fear within the office and among the "villa boys" to deter similar actions, considering the public's awareness of her reported atrocities.
One of the critical issues raised against the female minister pertains to the deteriorating living conditions among Nigeria's poorest population. Reports claim that, on a daily basis, at least three million Nigerian children go to bed hungry. This situation was exacerbated by a United Nations World Food Programme report in April 2023, which revealed that one in eight Nigerians, totaling 24.8 million people, were facing acute hunger. The reports also cautioned against the misuse of funds intended for community projects to gain political favors.
Recent images circulating on the internet allegedly depict the female minister strategically positioning herself in close proximity to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Coalition of Civil Society Groups in Nigeria expressed deep concern over this, emphasizing the need for President Tinubu to take immediate note of the situation. The group raised issues with the perception that the ministry in question may be a politically created entity for female ministers lacking moral records, potentially available for unofficial engagements.
Accusations against the female minister include her purported involvement in all trips undertaken by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and taking photographs to create a false impression of closeness. The group claims she uses these tactics to manipulate the Chief of Staff (CoS) and the "villa boys" to fulfill her agenda. The group highlighted the minister's alleged influence on the CoS, resulting in the removal of some ministers from an official assignment to Dubai with President Tinubu. The minister reportedly replaced them with her name and further influenced the CoS for deployment to a more lucrative ministry, possibly Trade and Investment.
The Coalition of Civil Society Groups emphasized the potential threat posed by the female minister, considering her overbearing attitude and the murky marital status of the beauty pageant minister in question. The group warned that if unchecked by President Tinubu, the minister's actions could lead Nigerians to question the sincerity of the current administration. The records cited by the group suggest a history of the minister allegedly causing harm to men close to her in her pursuit of power. The group concluded by urging both Mr. President and the First Lady to exercise caution regarding this minister's actions, stating that failure to address the situation early could have serious implications for the administration's credibility.
"She forces herself to be seen with Mr. President to use it for the manipulation of the villa boys and positions; she switched her name with someone else on the Dubai list through the office of the CoS
"Both Mr. President and the First Lady should tread with a lot of caution as far as this lady who is ready to do anything to achieve her evil intention is concerned.
“Records have it that she has ruined a lot of men that were unluckily close to her in her quest for power.
“This is one Minister that if not checked early by Mr. President will surely cause Nigerians to look inwards about the sincerity of purpose of this present administration”, they said.
PoliteActivist: It is not a matter of wailers. It's been glaring for some time that the old man is cognitively impaired and these things usually get worse, not better. Man can hardly manage himself, talkless managing Nigeria. What's bound to happen is, a cabal will eventually take over, or the country will be on auto pilot for 8 years
Are you a psychiatrist? How did you arrive at your diagnosis?
MEEVEET: Obi was never poor never he was a rich kid... His family own next international the biggest distribution company in Nigeria
Go and read his family history. His father was a poor shoemaker. He made money from drug business to start the brewery factory. His father hod killed by his fellow drug dealers.
I challenge anyone name one Tinubu business or company he had as at 1999 worth 50 million and win 100k ... I dare anyone
And Obi must follow. He needs to explain how he rose from poverty to multibillionnaire. He must explain how he got money to enrol in university. Obi na thief and drug baron.
Another coup in civil service where directors are the chief corruption officers in their ministries. Before they settle to learn how to steal again, they are being retired.
Ulunne777: They have been doing that. Their market is more outside Nigeria than within. Fun fact.Most of the made in China branded shoes ppl are wearing in Nigeria comes from Aba
Good. They can displace the chinese in most European markets if they upscale their production.
ANSMEDIA: Anambra Shoe manufactures market was built by former governor of Anambra state Willie Obiano and empowered the shoe manufactures through Anambra small business agency (ASBA), the market is progressing now producing footwear in mass distributed across Nigeria and beyond
Watch mass Production of Footwear in Anambra state both Men and women
shortgun: I laugh when I read posts on this forum where Nigerians are advised to respect their hosts in any part of the country where they find themselves.
No Nigerian has the right under the constitution to demand for special status or respect as a host from other Nigerians or to treat other Nigerians as visitors in any part of Nigeria. Every Nigerian has equal rights as Nigerians and privileges under the constitution as other Nigerians irrespective of the part of Nigeria they come from or find themselves.
All lands in Nigeria belongs to the federal Republic of Nigeria, all the mineral resources found in land, under the land and sea belongs to the federal Republic of Nigeria all revenues generated in every part of Nigeria are pulled into a central account of the federal government and distributed to all the states of the Federation irrespective of the amount contributed by each state....this means revenue generated in Gusau; Zamfara state will be used to provide infrastructure or for the benefits of Nigerians in Anambra state and revenue generated from Anambra will be used to provide infrastructure and for the benefits of Nigerians in Lagos state.
Until Nigeria amends its current constitution, No Nigerian is a host to other Nigerians or a guest in any part of Nigeria, any other thing aside this amounts to illegality, unconstitutionality and unlawful Just make sure you get your land and approvals for your businesses from the federal government or any of it's agencies as a Nigerian and you are good for eternity.
Another chest beating self-delusion. Land belongs to the states, no federal government. And yes there are hosts everywhere. Otherwise you will contest to be the sultan of Sokoto after leaving Anambra in night bus to Sokoto. Stop this delusional chest beating. Nigeria is not unitary except when they are stealing the resources. Regional governments is best for Nigeria.
deji17: Many thanks to Buhari. Nigeria Presidency is a thankless job. That is why some don't bother themselves.
Buhari did not do it. I came home in March 2023 and it was not like this. It was done in this era by Dangote and other big companies when the new minister requested it along with FAAN.
SoNature: Speedily extend the route to the island as well. It should run through Lagos to Ajah and then to Epe or Ibjeju-Lekki. Lekki-Ajah Expressway is a no-go area now due to traffic gridlock.
Thats the Green Line going through Lekki and the airport in Lekki.
