Bro, the truth is that many people in positions of authority in today’s Nigeria are afraid to speak the truth. They fear losing their jobs, facing punishment, or becoming victims of the system if they dare to speak openly.
The NBA knows these realities. The security challenges confronting Nigeria have gone far beyond what we can expect government officials and security agencies to handle alone.
At this point, it has become a collective responsibility. Government must do its part, security agencies must do theirs, and citizens also have a role to play.
We cannot continue pretending that everything is fine while insecurity keeps affecting communities across the country. Nigeria needs the truth, courage and collective action—not silence born out of fear.

That’s on the part of the executive, going by the principle of separation.

The judiciary has no business attaching itself to the executive, just like the legislature, otherwise accountability will be eroded, as is our case in our country.

The moment one party wins the Presidential election, other parties, the legislature, judiciary and bodies begin to align to that party. It is tragic as the ruling party muzzles the opposition and has its way even when policies are anti people.

So insecurity is the business of the executive for tackle, using the apparatus of the military and security organizations under the control of the executive. The business of prosecution lies with the judiciary. Unfortunately they all fail in their responsibilities, leading to the chaotic situation that we find ourselves.

Now, rather than work with its budget and find ways of funding, the judiciary clings to the executive, expecting gifts of houses and cars and wallowing in the same corruption that they should be dealing with. So that’s the tragedy of the nation. The result is what we see, with the likes of VDM appearing like the hope of the common man whereas, that should be the business of those in power.

To begin with, you must have a budget. A budget helps to determine suitable vehicle for you.

You age should not determine suitability. You may make your age a factor and end up purchasing a vehicle that you will regret in the future.

I noticed that you quoted 12 m.

Now I think you should focus on a vehicle that is easily maintained. You need something that will not give you trouble from time to time. It does not matter is if is an SUV or a regular vehicle.

For me, I think you should look at the Toyota models within that range.

Long ago, purchase a BMW to start with and did not consider the challenges. It was exceedingly beautiful at the early stages, until complications started setting in. The BMW parts dealers in Ladipo knew me. My mechanic then in Shomolu called Barrister was happy seeing me almost daily. I moved to Nissan and the Toyotas, Mercedes, Peugeot and Honda.

I found peace with the Toyotas and Hondas. Truthfully Hondas are very easy to maintain and spare parts are also found everywhere, even if you are traveling and have an issue.

That's why many complained that his presence at such a professional and cooperate event was undeserving

Education is important

NBA absolutely took the wrong decision. They gave themselves away as very weak and failures in the institution of justice.

That occasion should be the business of lawyers only and specific people who are in positions of authority and are able to share opinions that will make justice better.

It was even shameful the way the young man dressed to the occasion.

Hopefully NBA has learnt its lessons also.

DennisEche:
Since the incarceration of Nnamdi January, SE I'd generally peaceful and is back to what it's known for as the home of peace

That’s your opinion.
The fact and the simple truth remains that Buhari, using operation python dance, brought disaster and destruction to the SE. Without that reckless move in the name of stopping an organization that was originally not violent, the peace of the most peaceful region of the entire nation would not have been tampered with. That’s also part of the actions taken to impose APC on the SE.

For those of you APC supporters who are so myopic, Buhari’s actions showed how the President is the leader of the whole country. Those of you who want to cut off the SE from the rest of the nation, yet expect the same SE to cast their votes in favour of APC, you all witnessed how the President takes decisions for the whole country, irrespective of whether a particular region likes him or not.

Nnamdi Kanu is not the issue. The FG under Buhari was the issue.

The hope is that Tinubu will work harder to bring peace to the whole nation, also ensuring that those threatening languages are brought to an end.

Fantastic.

Great town Oko, with great people. That should help them with efficiency. The road network is in Anambra state is getting better, communities are getting safer, with SASA and Agunechemba.

Hopefully this Christmas will be very delightful in Anambra state, including the whole of the South east, Delta north and our great Edo people who just like South easterners travel massively to enjoy Christmas in their villages. This does not exclude our citizens from Ondo and Ekiti states, who just like Southeasteners enjoy their own Christmas at home at their own levels.

God bless Igbo people, whether of the SE or SS for their contributions in making the nation great!

That’s the wickedness of APC. That’s the injury the party inflicted on the nation. Meanwhile each day we read how EFCC confiscates properties purchased by national leaders, with materials purchased at those same prices.

Except Nigerians wake up to tackle corruption and looting of public resources, there cannot be any moving forward in positive directions.

APC leaders have been issuing threats to citizens in all forms. If it is not killing, it is bodily harm and this one says divorce.

What kind of a destructive party are Nigerians facing like this? Must people vote for you? Before they arrived in 2015, it was the monkeys and baboons soaking in blood?

Why does APC seem to prefer violence?

What a very selfish, self centered and greedy woman this is. She could not sacrifice her own fashion career to be with her husband and children in England. But she wanted her husband to sacrifice his own career, abandoning a job that put huge sums of money into their pockets, that should take care of their home for life. She wanted such a young man to abandon his career at this age, when the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Mr. Arsene Wenger left club managing in the 70s.

Some women are so despicable. Their children are grown up and are pursuing their own careers happily. What else did she want? They settled amicable, with the man rewarding her handsomely. She did not consider the many years they spent in the marriage and the happiness of their children. She only thought of herself and what she would benefit. Now she wants to return to make the home.

Anyway, na the man sabi. I have witnessed couples who reunited after several years of break up. The women begged and returned after seeing that the man that they left became far bigger after they left.

Now that Guardiola is resting and trying to find some peace, the woman has quickly planned to return to deprive him of that peace.

Anyway, what is the guarantee that the man will not return to football after one year? After all he did that when he left Barcelona and ended up in Bayern Munich after one year. Infact I believe that a Saudi Arabian club might give him a very irresistible offer, possibly making him a billionaire.

HacheNoire:
Nigeria still has a higher poverty rate than Iran!

Iran has been through it for decades and will bounce back stronger!

They are built differently and will nail the coffins of western imperialists.

The tolls from the strait of Hormuz will hit differently and their newly discovered gas reserves will power up the economy.

They got a China on their side who knows how to deliver!

Obviously, under your party APC, Nigeria attained the inglorious title of the poverty capital of the world. Before APC came, life was easier and better for all, including APC leaders and followers. They destroyed everything.

Added to that, Nigeria’s population is almost triple the population of Iran. How do you expect anything better?

I agree with you that Iran can get better. However, the only condition would be the expulsion of the destructive, terrorist, jihadist regime currently ruling the country.

They got China, yet they trade in the American dollar?

Which tolls are you talking about? Between tolling twenty vessels of five hundred thousand US dollars and selling twenty vessels of crude oil worth millions of dollars, which one pays more? Or do you think tolling vessels is the equivalent of collecting ticket money by agberos?

HacheNoire:
If Davido papa charge you to court now, some people will say the rich is oppressing the poor!

The son of a billionaire looking unkept!

He wasn’t looking unkept! Fame got into your head and you thought he was not worthy of coming close to you!

We have seen his older videos when the fame was not there and never a time was he looking unkept.

So you can make a reasonable comment as this? For the first time, I agree with you.

Juju commit for your eyes?

Can the devil cast out the devil?
The man don play himself wayo tire. Now the truth stares him in the face.

He should confidently contest and become the President of Sambisa forest!

Friends playing political and power game against each other. This Atiku - Tinubu, El Rufai - Tinubu fights are truly in very advanced stages. The way it is, Tinubu will not care if the man who helped him win in some parts of the north goes to jail.

As for the security man, I believe that El Rufai’s family will find him a new job and compensate him. El Rufai will be saddened hearing that the man who helped his wife visit him, lost his job for that act of kindness to his family.

APC chairman in Delta state. Typical behavior of radicalists. Wherever they find themselves, they give bad examples of themselves. The state was completely peaceful with PDP in power. Some leaders chose to turn the story upside down overnight, carrying the PDP structure to APC.

Hopefully Deltans are learning their lessons. That boat gives the chairman some income daily. While his people are suffering, he’s busy living large with that generator running with funds provided by the citizens. They did the right thing. Nigerians need to start holding their leaders accountable. The moment that begins, leaders will seat up.

MrEar:
A LION does not concern himself with the opinions of a sheep. If he does that, then he is not A LION.

Despite his horrible vocals, Davido has conquered the music industry in a way no other artist can, whether from a rich home or not.

He has won awards, sold out concert tickets, collaborated with famous artists that talented musicians can only dream of.

He is known globally and internationally. Davido himself, from head to toe, is a brand.

Time magazine included him as one of the most influential persons. At this point, he does not need to prove himself or his success to anyone.

Despite all of his achievements, numerous times, he gets triggered, loses his cool, displays an inferiority complex and feels the need to explain or publicize his success, all because of the "opinions of poor men pikin"

Like most celebrities, dead or alive, Davido is another crystal clear proof that indeed money (including fame) can NEVER buy true happiness.

For you to be happy, you need peace of mind, and whether you believe it or not, ONLY GOD can give you that.

If the lion does not concern itself with the affairs of the sheep, where will the meal come from?

The truth remains that within that industry, there is a huge level of jealousy and bitterness. Some of those fellow who trigger him appear to do so deliberately to enable them trend. If he does not react, how will they be known?

The young man did not wait for his father. He charted his own course early in life. Infact at a time he ran away from home and fulfilled his destiny. Is it his fault that life favored him and his family this way?

For those ones on the lower part of the ladder, they should keep on pressing, focusing and achieve. That bitterness and envy takes them nowhere.

Remember the famed Babafryo? That what happened to him. His popular “dem go dey pose”, was made out of his reaction to what happened to him. Jealousy and envy became his lot when others after him began to succeed. He is nowhere to be found today.

In all, if an entertainer does not stay in the news, will his/her value not drop?

matrix199:
When a dog refuses to concede defeat to a lion, it will keep losing her pups!

This perfectly describes it all. Infact, the dog will not only lose its puppies, but also its life.

That’s the situation with Iran. They not only are losing their proxies, but their own nation.

Dem dey form association for beer parlour? I agree for the akwa ocha, but na that beer parlour come tire me.

Anyway, some of those associations end up appearing as community clubs, as a lot of them do not follow the founding vision.

Your location please.

Drop one million and you are talking of how it will cost Kwankwanso. Wetin concern Kwankwanso there. If Kwankwanso win, no be Obi win?

If e sure you, drop one million and leave story.
That’s all!

HacheNoire:
They are always telling lies!

The words of someone in deep pain.
This thing too pain you.
I hope you did not place a bet. Your chikini money don enter Strait of Hormuz direct!

HacheNoire:
🤣😂🤣😂

They are manipulating the stock market!

All that passed and Brent already passed $94!

The current US administration lies about everything!

Specialist in manipulating the market with news!

What did you expect in a war situation? Get small understanding bros. Why did you not make the same comment when crude prices went up following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?

The truth is that this piece of information makes you very sad. You want to look at the daily news and see that Iran has destroyed this and destroyed that. Unfortunately the reverse continues to be the case.

Just as a reminder. President Donald Trump has declared “ship for ship” in that area. What that simply means is that for each ship Iran attacks, every Iranian flagged ship would be attacked in return. Knowing the cost of such, do you expect Iran to keep attacking vessels in that area? Only a foolish IRGC operative would carry out such a very costly operation. For the Americans, it is called deterrence.

Again, I bring to your notice, the request of the Iranian foreign minister for the Americans to return to the June peace deal. Now with a softer tone, your favorite Mullahs have seen the handwriting on the wall. That should add some more headache to you.

You also need to be informed that just yesterday, Netanyahu declared that it would be the final mistake of the Iranians to attack Israel, as nothing would be spared in that country. Note once again that Israel is just one tenth of the landmass and population of Iran. Also note that the Americans have their bases in Israel and the cowards in Iran have not dared to attack them.

Shinor:
Without any evidence, I don't know if his outbursts on the pitch in the past, which have included physical aggression against fellow team members is one that has made big club managers in Europe shy away from him.
Just a speculation Cos I don't have any iota of evidence to back this up.

But truth be told, he is loved and respected in Turkey. If I were him, I would remain there.

Absolutely. His aggression in the name of winning mentality has been one very big issue. Watch Halaand and other great scorers. It is not about aggression, but the ability and confidence to perform always for the team and the fans. There is a potent fear that he will cause confusion in the dressing room. Most managers do not want that.

The manner of his exit from Napoli still plays a role.

Last year Chelsea made a failed attempt. I believe that with no big club in Europe wanting him, he may finally opt for big pay in the Saudi league.

duro4chang:
Agbotikuyo. He must be there. He is always happy whoever he hears the death of anyone. He will rush there to shed his crocodile tears. CUNY man. You will never be president.

Is he then waiting to hear if yours, so that he can go and shed crocodile tears there?

CUNY man die, na CUNY go bury am.

seunmsg:
Where is the 399 pages FBI file that Atiku paid this Ikemrfuna Okeke for?

It’s been over two months now and nothing has been released. Instead, he keeps reharshing different stories daily. Over the weekend, hr said he was going to block Tinubu from attending UNGA. On Monday, he claimed FBI and CIA are about to press new charges. On Tuesday, the story was that Donald Trump is not supporting Tinubu’s second term election despite lobbying him. Now, he has moved to trying to discredit a letter written by the US Embassy and addressed to the Obasanjo’ administration since 2003.

By tomorrow, he will come up with another fictional story just to keep folks like the OP. That’s exactly how fraudulent OG’s operate. Spin so much fake stories around daily and keep your victims distracted from the main issues. At the end of the day, the election will come and go and this dude won’t be able to deliver a single FBI investigation document.

It is good that you are pained that two great political allies and boys of Shehu Musa Yaradua are at each other’s necks. Two good friends have been divided and fighting to the death for political power. They have taken their battle away from the political field to the personal field.

Thankfully, you have not found a way to input Peter Obi’s name into it.

By the way, is it not a very big shame and a monumental disgrace that the President of our country is getting so ridiculed by the Americans over drug dealing? Is it not embarrassing that rather than address the matter of national embarrassment, you choose to accuse others, looking the other way.

That’s how, like playplay, like playplay as they say in local parlance, Manuel Noriega, Juan Hernandez Nicolas Maduro and were captured and repatriated to the USA to face drug related charges.

What’s the purpose of the pilgrims boards? While the country suffers severe underdevelopment, the FG and states spend very significant amounts sponsoring citizens on pilgrimage that only serves to benefit the individuals.

Do pilgrimages build streets, provide electricity, water, build schools and provide food on the table for millions of Nigerians who are termed to be below the poverty line? Even states that are not able to generate enough revenue to serve the citizens, particularly in the north, reserve billions to pay for pilgrimages which are very private affairs. So government simply pays for citizens to go and pray to their God, return empty to continue with poverty.

I think this thing must come to an end. Those who wish to embark on the trip should pay from their private purses. Money saved should be used to provide enough water particularly in the north. Added to that, Nigerians should stop enriching those countries, giving billions to visit holy sites. No reasonable country does that.

Lithiumite:
Onaiyekan will never be found here,rather he will be urging his sheep on so he can be president by force.......obidients have so deceived obi that he now feels he is equal jesus.

We await them in 27!!

Some persons with no voter’s card come here to make mouth. Even if they have voter’s card, they cannot cast more than one single vote. That vote may even be voided after that collect feeding money the polling booths to keep themselves in the poverty cage until the next election cycle. They may even end up playing football on the day and come out shouting “ebi n pawa” secretly later.

You are waiting in vain!

And this man is a PDP member. What a big shame what politicians have caused to this country. Others left PDP to test their strengths. Wike stayed behind to nail the coffin, shamelessly wearing PDP and APC clothes together in the day and in the night.

OverCalculating:
Traoré of Burkina Faso is begging Tinubu to speak with them.

Niger is begging Tinubu for discussions.

South Africa is dying to have Tinubu’s attention.

It’s only a matter of time before everyone in Africa starts learning from BAT’s economic reforms.

Leadership is not about making the loudest noise; it is about building an economy and a nation strong enough to command respect. If African countries are increasingly looking toward Nigeria for partnership and lessons, that speaks volumes about the direction of President Tinubu’s reforms. 🇳🇬💪🏾

Jagaban is not just talking about Renewed Hope he is putting Nigeria back at the centre of Africa’s economic conversation.

Truly, you are over calculating.
No be only dying, na killing.

FreeStuffsNG:
It is only ignorance that will make you compare late Pope Francis to Senator Ed.

Ayatollah Khamenei is even higher than the Pope as a Spiritual Leader of the global Shia muslim world and Supreme Leader of about 100m Iranians (compare to Pope ruling Vatican city with a paltry population of 506 to 882 people).

Grand Ayatollah like the Pope is a sacred lifetime position and anyone who wakes up one day to assasinate the Pope will face eternal damnation like trump.

Ignorance is not bliss.

“Ignorance is not a bliss”
Tell yasef that please. Your comment just showed complete ignorance!

Show me where I compared Pope Francis to Senator Ed.

“Ayatollah Khamanei is even higher than the pope as a spiritual leader…”.

What a big joker!

While you delude yourself, please note that the Pope is the spiritual leader of over 1.5 billion Catholic faithfuls. A simple fact check copying Reno Omokri will help you. Your terrorist Ayatollah, with the previous one already sent to hell, is the leader of not more than 200 million Shiite Muslims worldwide. Make the comparison yasef and tell yasef the truth of who is the bigger spiritual leader.

“Grand Ayatollah like the Pope…”. How have you contradicted yasef? Are they comparable in anyway? It is the choice of your Ayatollah to plan the extinction of people while hiding in holes, fearing that he will pay the supreme price with his own life. If he chooses to live decently like decent people, he does not need to hide.

The Pope does not hide. He lives in his home in the Vatican, peacefully, sharing love and traveling wherever pleases him.

HacheNoire:
Wait for a seconds!

Do you think I am a Muslim and you getting at me?

Do not continue to live in self denial.
You know say na true.
