Crime / Re: #ZumaUnrest; Nigerian Car Dealership Burnt Down In J'oburg, South Africa by drmorphine(m): 10:11am On Jul 12, 2021
The news report is quite funny because it said the victims were from Ghana as shown in the bolded text, however the language (Yoruba) of the guy talking says otherwise. Perhaps, they were trying to make the guys anonymous or trying to do some silent cover-up to douse the recurrent xenophobic tensions between Nigeria and SA.

A car dealership in Malvern, Johannesburg, has been dealt a blow after rioters torched its vehicles. News24 spoke with the two dealers who sell vehicles in Jules Street. The two, who asked to remain anonymous, said their garage was torched on Saturday night and 32 vehicles were destroyed. This after riots, which started in KwaZulu-Natal, reached Gauteng overnight in response to former president Jacob Zuma's imprisonment. News24 earlier reported riots erupted in the Johannesburg inner city.

Sections of the M2 highway were also closed after rioters blocked the road with burning tyres and rocks on Saturday night.

"Last night [Saturday night], I received a call from somebody. I saw a missed call - I called back and was told to quickly come to the garage. And as I arrived, all my cars [were] gone," one of the dealers said. "We don't know where to start from and what will happen. And these cars are for people who brought them to the dealership for us to sell for them. "They are going to be on our necks and we don't know… It's tough, the only thing is for us to go back to our country."

The two men, who are from Ghana, said the incident had left them confused and traumatised - more so because they were not insured.

They have been in the business of selling cars for more than five years, adding they had not expected such an incident to happen.
The other dealer said: "We lost 32 cars - I am so [hurt]. It is really a shocking situation and we don't know where to start. There is nothing we can do now…" The two men added they were unable to clear the debris because the rioters were still in the area. They added it was difficult to estimate the amount of money they had lost, but the vehicles were priced from R90 000 (N3.6 Million) . One said the cars were badly burnt and would now need to be taken to a scrap yard. Riots in the city have also resulted in certain services being cut.

Prof. Abdulsamad Umar Jibia Wrote:

So what if Kanu is arrested?

On Thursday June 24, 2021 I stumbled on a viral video from Zamfara state. In the four minutes clip, a notorious bandits’ kingpin could be seen boastfully confessing in front of senior security officials of the atrocities he committed against the Nigerian state and its people. The man, popularly known as Dan-Karami is said to be one of the senior gang members of the deceased Buharin daji, a bandits’ general who controlled the rural areas of Zamfara until his death in 2018 in the hand of one of his other gang members, Dogo Gide. Dogo Gide had ‘repented’ and submitted himself to the Government of Zamfara state under Abdulazeez Yari and Yari decided to use him to kill his boss. Gide had since resumed crime and is operating from his base in the vast forest reserve spanning several North Western and central states. He and Dan-Karami were among the many gangsters that sealed and breached several peace agreements with Governments of Zamfara and Katsina states.

I watched the video clips several times and upon enquiry I came to know that the senior Government officials were there to beg him to allow people to go to farm in the areas he controlled now that it is rainy season. The areas he controlled, as he stated in the clip are south of the Jibia-Gusau highway where he claims to be responsible for “any crime you hear of”. It is noteworthy that a week earlier 53 people were killed in the area. That is many times the number of Nigerians killed due to IPOB activities since it started.

Going by what he stated, the Nigerian Government has no other option except to go and beg him since, according to him, he has victoriously repelled all attempts by the Nigerian Army to defeat him. In one of those attempts, he stated, he was attacked by a combined team of Nigerian and Nigerien security forces and he defeated and killed more than half of them. He also confessed of kidnapping forty children from Zurmi township at another point in time.

Another thing he stated worth examining was the initial rejection by the now deposed Emir of Zurmi to dialogue with him or any other terrorist for that matter. If what he said was true, the Emir only agreed to speak to him after it was clear to the Emir that Government could not defeat him. The question to ask here is, if the Emir decided to be communicating to the outcast in order to protect his people, was he doing or not doing the right thing? Why was he deposed by the same Government that now decided to go and smile with a confirmed criminal who has admitted killing several people including our soldiers? When has the Nigerian Government become a coward that aims only at soft targets?

After watching that video, I began to wait for a statement from Federal Government. None came, at least not to my knowledge. The expectations of any citizen who watched that video would be the Government would now launch a major manhunt for the criminal to face charges of murder, treason, kidnapping, etc. Alas! The attention of the leaders of APC and PDP is not there. Their concern is not how Nigerians can sleep with their eyes closed or how many criminals are brought to justice but how many politicians from one party defect to another. Unfortunately for the people of Zamfara state the next thing they heard is that their Governor was now defecting to ruling (sorry “governing”) party as if that is what would solve their problem.

But there is one thing I did. After watching that video I decided to send it to the media aide of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice and requested him to give it to his boss in case he had not seen it along with our message of disappointment.

My choice of Abubakar Malami is deliberate for two reasons. One. He is not one of those opportunists who only began to support Buhari with the windstorm of 2015. He has been the supporter of Buhari from day one and is thus a witness to all the promises his Oga made to Nigerians. Two. He is the Attorney General and Minister of Justice.

Nothing has changed. The Sheikh Gumis are busy going from one bandits’ camp to another and calling on Buhari to give salaries to Fulani criminals. The Kabiru Gombes are all over the place telling masses that Saint Buhari is not responsible for the protection of their lives and property since he has appointed Northerners to take charge of security. The Masaris are there blaming the masses for waiting for Government to give them protection. That is the very sad predicament Northerners have found themselves. You are on your own if fate makes you an ordinary Northern Nigerian.

Yesterday, while the rest of us were still waiting for action (although sincerely speaking most Northerners have lost hope), Malami appeared on our television screens to tell Nigerians that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB was arrested “through the collaborative efforts of Nigerian intelligence and security services”. That is a good news, I thought, but it is no news. Kanu has never been the major problem of the rural farmers of the North. His arrest will never make Kaduna-Abuja, Kaduna-Birnin Gwari, Jibia-Gusau, Kankara-Sheme or any of those highways safe. It will never stop the harassment of our people killed, kidnapped and raped by bandits on daily basis. So what if he is arrested?

But Kanu is being “accused of instigating violence especially in the Southeastern Nigeria that resulted in the loss of lives and property of civilians, military, paramilitary, police forces and destruction of civil institutions and symbols of authorities.” Here is someone right here on the Nigerian soil boasting of having committed all these atrocities and daring Government. Yet, the Government is going there to smile at him. Is that not an irony?

Bros to be honest with you, you're a goat. I mean goat as in ewúrẹ́. How can you experience all these signs in her and you still remain stubborn to be with her. My main advice to you is that you need to find grave site you are ok with in a good cemetery, dig it to your satisfaction and let your family know this once you are done. Also remember to pay for its day to day maintenance. Sure! You gonna need this very soon. These being done, voila! . You may then go ahead in your beautiful relationship with your wonderful girlfriend.

I urgently need a POS computer system for a small retail business. I have a small store where I sell varieties of commodities. Recently, I have been having some difficulties in taking inventory of my stock and doing sales analysis. I have a salesgirl but it is getting difficult harmonising all the sales and tracking if she is honest enough with the remittance.

It is in the light of the above the I so dire need a simple POS system that probably an Enterprise previously using it wants to upgrade or no more using it and that has the capability of fast display, + a thermal printer + alternate power source + POS software.

Kindly let me know if you can help with this . Thanks.
