Khyrvxjzy:He sucked her hand? Chai. I laugh tire. So e no see feeding bottle to buy and suck, if na to such hungry am? So you agreed that he inappropriately touched the girl. That’s sexual molestation that you just proved by yourself. If you try am, na jail you go see yourself. |
mrvitalis:I complete read your initial comment. I have read it again and again and I tell you that your theory is not in line with the realities. You cannot say “kill the textile industry”, or close down textile mills. Have you wondered why prices of their products are high? Have you taken into consideration the negative effects of certain government policies? Textile industries contribute to the GDP and closing them down would impact on the economy. Have you considered that? How will Nigeria attain self sufficiency when textile mills are closed, just as others shutting down operations already? Why do we talk about production as a means of growing our economy, when you close down textile mills? Have you considered job losses? How can you product garments, when the companies that produce the fabrics are closed? Have you considered the impact on the economy? Those are some of my reasons for disagreeing with your position. |
mrvitalis:So garment industry would be running on water instead of electricity? Kill the textile industry and kill the use of electricity? In this age of economic crisis and very poor salary, you choose to send the few employed out of jobs? Did you read their complain at all? Let me remind you that the issue is about the high cost of electricity. They used to spend 30 m on average monthly, and that’s aside from diesel cost monthly when there’s no electricity. Factories purchase diesel in trucks monthly to keep running. Government must by all means encourage the industries that are presently thriving. Enabling environments and reasonable conditions must be made available for them to thrive. So government should shut down factories that pay their taxes and other charges, contributing to the growth of the economy? Government too should allow the import of foreign garments, helping the economy of other countries to grow? Kill the textile industries? Where would garments come from? The moon? What would be used to make the garments? Which industries do you expect to produce the garments? Who would make the fabrics used to produce the garments? So you expect Nigeria to import finished products from Bangladesh for example, leaving the basic, in this case fabrics, to rot? Have you been to any textile factory before? The Indians and Bangladeshi produce their textiles and garments, jealously protect the industries, promote them locally and export them to those who are interested worldwide. Can Nigeria not protect local textile industries, promote them and export to make such money? Our textiles are the best in West Africa. You can check that. Nothing has happened to Ajaokuta, except corruption. Take it off the hands of government officials, take away bureaucratic bottle necks, privatize it completely and see success with it. Dangote plans to go into steel production next year. Do you expect it to be a failure as the ones established with public funds? Nitel was a disgrace until privatization came. Today we all enjoy telecommunications. I am sorry, but I do not agree that textile industries should be killed. |
This is very sad to note, that a popular personality as him, married with children, would engage in such act. At the beginning of the matter, it was tense argument between those who believed and those who did not believe. The judges put it to rest, backed with his own statements at the police stations, that he committed the act that he was jailed for. Should sentiments have been allowed? No. Those would have allowed him to get away and probably try his hands on one or more other little girls at later periods. In the end, the lesson there is for paedophiles to know that their judgement day would come someday. It is for popular persons like him to know that their supporters love them and expect them to live above board. He should be out of jail in less than two years by God’s grace. Going to the Supreme Court probably would serve to enrich his legal team more, except that he believes that he can clear his name. The video evidence in the house was damning. I pray and hope that he can pick up his career from where he left it and would not be stigmatized by his colleagues or the public. I also hope that his immediate family can forgive him also and move on. |
obonujoker:Benin, Asaba, Owerri and Abeokuta should not be in your list. They are far more livable than Lagos. They are quite serene and the people more friendly. |
PortHarcourtcit:I have noticed that hardly does any day go by without one negative story of Anambra, not getting posted. Why must that always happen? It is nauseating. Lagos state has a long way to go with its fire service, having been in the business for uncountable years. The federal fire service used to be located in Lagos, if it still exists. However I have observed that the short comings of the Lagos fire service are not such to copy anywhere. Again, irrespective of the state, fire service is badly managed. There are too many excuses. It’s either there’s no truck, no parts, no functional office, no water, no proper fire gear, or they are under staffed. Fire service is very important in every nation and deserves proper handling. If all the governments take this matter seriously, the nation will be better for it. |
Can we safely say that the call for a state of emergency by the Rivers state acting chairman of APC was a deliberate ploy to distract the people from the plan to bomb the state, by the group supported by Wike? Can we not say it was a wolf cry? Is it not the the same person who be held responsible if violence breaks out in Rivets state. We can say that we already know the culprits with this. It is quite unfortunate how desperate some politicians can be in their attempt to get power. |
leisuretym:Lagos state don partner with itself finish? |
GeneralPula:Abacha was the problem. He could not be trusted to hand over. Abacha decided to contest by transmuting from a military ruler to a civilian President. This was however part of the fear. The events of June 12, led to national crisis and a serious distrust between the political class and the military. The failure of IBB and the the AFRC to hand over to Abiola, was a disaster. Abacha long nursed the ambition to take over from IBB. Once he became the head of state, a systematic removal of all opposition voices started, using Major Mustapha, to cause all kinds of trouble in the land. Opposition figures were killed in broad daylight while those who could not wait to be killed ran for their dear lives. Pro democratic forces teamed up to form NADECO and other pressure groups to get Abacha to leave power. Obasanjo was part of those who opposed him and it nearly cost Obasanjo his life in 1996. There was nobody called Wike. One of the voices who could talk about that period was Festus Keyamo, who practiced under tutelage of the respected Gani Fawehinmi. Again there were the likes of Dele Momodu, the late Mr. Kokori, etc. Our country was in deep political crisis with the dishonesty of the military. Those were dark periods in our country. So it was until Abacha passed on. None of them could trust Abdusalam to hand over. That’s what played out. They thought that he would continue like Abacha, but he proved otherwise. The fear that the military would continue, that they could be killed, made most of them stay far away. While Abubakar was arranging to hand over, core politicians who saw it, quickly took over. They took over spaces, keeping the then activists away from positions of power. The question about the then activists is what have they achieved with the positions that they got into? Has the country become better under them? The answer is a big NO. The country has been deeply divided along religious and ethnic lines, under the watch of the same activists. Deep hatred has become the order of the day. We thought that Tinubu would immediate initiate the process of national reconciliation and healing, but alas, it gets worse daily. |
MetaMatrix:Have you been following the report of casualties? Hamas and Gaza recorded a huge amount of losses. Between Israel and Hezbollah, the loss has been far more pronounced on the side of Hezbollah. Our sincere hope is that the war does not escalate. That would draw aside from the small states, but the super powers taking sides, with far more devastation on the side of the Lebanese and Hezbollah. |
descartes400:How do you determine that Yaya’s lawyer willfully failed to comply? What else is there to talk about, when his parents lawyers failed to bring him to court five times, having promised to do so? They know the rules of the court and they know the consequences of failing to keep the rules. If they were not very sure that they could bring him to court on those days. They signed the undertaking on the strength of there assurance that Bello would be in court with them. “Trial Justice Emeka Nwite is yet to rule on the matter”. Hopefully you also saw that. The lawyer would have gone into the judge’s office to ask for some soft landing. |
descartes400:It is always very important to read and understand. Below is an excerpt from the event inside the court: “ Following his absence in court for his scheduled arraignment, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, urged the trial judge to dock his lawyers for failing to fulfil an undertaking they made to ensure his availability for trial. Lead counsel for the EFCC, Mr. Kemi Pinhero, SAN, prayed the court to punish the two senior lawyers that always represented the former governor, insisting that they have breached the rules of professional conduct. Pinhero, SAN, argued that Order 31(3) of Rules of Professional Conduct for legal practitioners stipulated that any lawyer that failed to comply with an undertaking he made before a court, aside from being in contempt, is automatically guilty of misconduct. “My lord, our application is that since one of the lawyers is present in court, he should be moved to the dock and dealt with him summarily, that is what the law says” From the above, you can see that lawyers have rules that guide their conduct inside the courts. Having realized the awaiting trouble, Bello’s lawyer quickly applied to get off the case. He’d rather preserve his name and hard worked image, than go to court for an ex governor, who’s hiding inside government house and refusing to attend his case in court. The crime of the lawyer is his failure, along with the lead counsel, to produce the accused Bello on the strength of an undertaking signed the last time in court. If the learned Judge agrees with the EFCC prosecutor, Bello’s counsel will find himself in prison. |
So sad that Yaya Bello has failed to appear in court. He makes mockery of himself and appears guilty as charged. Lady Macduff in Macbeth said "when our actions do not, our fears do make us traitors”. With Yaya Bello consistently dodging arraignment, can we safely say that his hands are clean? Can we not say that he truthfully embezzled public funds? |
PerfectStranger:We can predict the end of his education in Unilag. No matter the provocation, he should have controlled himself and caused the lecturer some discipline instead. |

Noemerci:So easy to say. |
Slytiger:Camera man. Na you dey use camera snap them abi? E pain you die! If you cannot take it, don’t give it. |
Moroccoguy:Unfortunately no party is able to defeat PDP in Exo state now. Victory belongs to PDP. |
While politicians are busy decamping and waste fully aligning, Obaseki is bringing development to the grassroots, as required by the citizens. This is a great leap forward for the beneficiaries. These are the people expected to vote on the day. They will take the message to their families, who will stand on queues on the day. They are the ones who will carry the message of continuity for PDP, beyond Obaseki’s tenure. Well done to Obaseki for this people oriented programme. |
rickleye:Ok sir! |
GanagiBitrus:Is it a secret that our security forces are under equipped and under funded? |
GanagiBitrus:Again if the necessary equipments are not in place, how can they achieve it? If the funds are not made available, what can be done? |
Fire4fireNL:Have you followed the stories of top APC members, with regards to cases of fraud and embezzlement of public funds? Have you forgotten that the present chairman and the one before him have been accused of corruptly enriching themselves? Have you not read how Obi called for a forensic auditing of the accounts of LP? Have you not read of how the campaign funds were audited and accounted for? Please read wide and seek information. What we demand is a just and equitable nation. We are asking for a decent society, with proper infrastructures to make life livable for all. We ask for accountability and not rogues, who loot public funds and ask us to be patient. They are found in all the parties. Let’s get the right people into positions of power, using our PVCs and have respectable country. |
sIfioksq:Which three people did he talk about? Which three people are you talking about? With such inability to read and understand, how can you address others as “clueless”, when you have exhibited the complete traits of cluelessness? |
GanagiBitrus:It sounds so simple to you, but it is not. Bandits are not that easy to pick up. Or do you want to try a security job? |
TheCeasar:- Is your Oba not his Oba? You cannot be holier than the Pope. Obaseki has very strong following in Edo south, which is his area. - Shuaibu fought him. Shuaibu knew that power would go to Edo central after so many years. Obaseki was the person who initiated the talk of power going to Edo central after his tenure. What was Shuaibu’s business with contesting? That was greed and the two of them never negotiated it. Shuaibu should have continued with his boss, Oshiomole. If he was a strong person in Edo north, why was he roundly trounced in 2023? - The Governor is the party leader in the state. PDP handed the party to him, with trust and confidence to deliver Edo state in 2019. He did it. Without that APC would have retained the state. It therefore behoved those that he met to cooperate. Obaseki complained severally that those who welcomed him were not making life easy for him. - What has speaking the language contributed to making our country better? You have a Nigerian coach for the super eagles and you abuse him. You have a white man and you trust him to deliver. No be juju be that? If the man can deliver, speaking Ishan is simply sentimental. Those who have spoken their languages have ruined their states. - If you say four years and no development, then you are being economical with the truth. The civil service in Edo state has never had it so good. Truthfully the roads may match your expectations, but what about other legacies like: - Healthcare reforms - Educational advancement - Industrialization - Development of youths and sports - Promotion of free enterprise - Edo Basic Education Transformation (Edo BEST) program - Revamping of the Government Science and Technical College - Establishment of the Edo State Investment Promotion Office (ESIPO) - Contribution to the fight against human trafficking and illegal migration - Reconstruction of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium - Attraction of $500 million worth of investment into the state through the Edo State Oil Palm Programme (ESOPP), etc? Do not forget that in 2019, almost the entire cabinet decamped to APC. They were roundly defeated, even at short notice with Obaseki as a new entrant into PDP. By the way, are you people not ashamed of APC and its nine years of monumental failure? I am not a supporter of PDP, but I know that Obaseki will leave Edo state with his head held high. |
GanagiBitrus:Before the news went public, police had done the needful with getting details from the suspects. |
Even with this advanced warning, nothing would be done to protect the community. |
heIinue:No wonder you are poorly rated here and seriously abused. With a complete inability to contribute to serious political, economic or social issues, you need to shut your mouth and learn. You need to stop displaying such high level of ignorance and lack of proper education. At least display some level of shame when you comment here. |
Chrisrare:Carry bad luck mouth comot for this side. Nothing go ever wrong with the marriage. |
OkpaNsukkaisBae:Japan is a sovereign nation and is considered a regional power in Asia. It has one of the largest economies in Asia and is a major player in regional affairs, exerting significant political, economic, and cultural influence. Japan's military is also one of the most advanced and capable in the region, with a significant presence in the Asia-Pacific. Until the second world war destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the Japanese were militarily very powerful. Nothing has diminished, except abiding by the agreements ending the second world war. Japan's regional power status is reflected in its: - Economic influence: Japan is a leading trade partner and investor in many Asian countries. - Political leadership: Japan plays a key role in regional organizations like the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the East Asia Summit (EAS). - Military capabilities: Japan's Self-Defense Forces are a formidable military power in the region. - Cultural influence: Japanese culture, technology, and innovation have a significant impact on the region. However, Japan's regional power status is also subject to challenges and limitations, including: - Rivalry with China: Japan's relationship with China is complex and often tense, with competing interests and territorial disputes. - North Korean threat: Japan is vulnerable to North Korea's military provocations and nuclear threats. - Dependence on US alliance: Japan's security relies heavily on its alliance with the United States. Overall, Japan's regional power status is significant, but it must navigate complex regional dynamics to maintain its influence and security. |
Jayhome24:Surely you failed your English exam. By the way, did you not notice that you sounded like the animal with your comment? |
