She raised her hands, dropped the kettle, went down, and still got shot.

She was checking her kettle and he had his hands on his gun.

When some people tell African Americans to move on from all the years of oppression, this is why they don't.
The racial discrimination never stopped it just became state (police) sanctioned.

You know a country is a jungle when the first action of the police is to use their guns. Same as their counterparts in Nigeria.

The limit was 16 before. Why increase it.
Most people are with secondary school between 16 - 17. Now they have to wait?

There is an old epic movie about Ga'a. Good to see it been done with better cinematography so it appeals to younger audiences.

I am not sure this is the right place to open this discussion but since it's related to food, this is as good a place as any.

Recently, a friend told me how a well known hustler came into his pharmacy with a good samaritan. The story is that the "hustler is sick and need meds". He then goes to sell the meds for money.

If we look at how "palliative" are shared, we can notice a pattern where the people that need it never gets it.

Looking at the welfare system in other developed countries, it's easy to see how it works.

Simply put, you get food stamps or coupons, go to a store, buy your food or other necessities and use the stamp to pay.

What's stopping us from implementing this in Nigeria? Especially if it's in partnership with private sector and stores.

Need those with insights into how the welfare system work in other countries tell us pitfalls of implementing such in Nigeria.

PS: please this isn't a politics discussion. Leave politicians out of the discussion. This is discussion on how to take a system and adapt it to our needs.

The problem started when they opened their doors for franchise players.

People who wanted to start restaurant business but don’t want to go through the effort of creating a new brand and growing customers .
Instead ; they apply, pay some recurring fees , be brand materials , recipes , menu and business starts with customers flooding in .


While this looked like massive chain growth , they couldn’t enforce the meals have the same quality and taste accords board . Franchise members started adding their stuff . Why not ! It’s their business .


Then once a customer have a bad experience at an outlet , they start looking for alternatives sub consciously and they’ll feel all outlets are bad .

Seeing that their logo mimics McDonalds, the could have learnt a thing or two from how McDonalds handled franchising.
The movie the Founders comes to mind

Wizardslayer:
What no problem.

Let's deal this misleading narrative by mischievous people trying to relate the events in Gaza and what's happened in aba abia state Nigeria.

Hamas is like a nation under the shadows of a more stronger Israel. What they did is like attacking a sovereign nation which is an act war.

What happened in aba is just like what's happening in the north for example the Fulani herdsmen, iswap, bokoharam and the kidnappers. Boko haram terrorists kill soldiers everyday in large numbers so do we now for total extermination of the city that bokoharam killed the soldiers in the north, maybe because we suspected that some northerners are speaking in favour of hamas terrorists in Palestinian Most people in Nigeria need to purge themselves of ethnic hatred.

Stop relating what's happening in Palestinian to whatever happens in Nigeria just because of your dislike of a tribe.

Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Until we understand that, our selective silence and or support makes us complicit in the mass murder of innocent people wether carried out by state actors or non-state actors.

Rust and missing parts. Nobi naija again

Check the philosophy of the ' Ship of Theseus'

Well, not that he didn't have a chance to make the changes when he was president

As Fela sang,
Animal wants dash us human rights
That UN security Council needs total overhaul.
US aren't the only one abusing their veto power but they seemed to be the only ones abusing it consistently.
In this world, just have power. Justice and fairness as preached by the western world is the illusion they use to keep themselves in power.

This happens in real life. When you date a damaged person, you will eventually be heartbroken. Not everyone can accept love.

Some were raised without love and find it difficult to accept that others can genuinely love and treat them right.

Words on marble. Don't think many people know this.

Lanruze:
The Audacity !

Even on Nigerian soil. Have we heard of Nigerians escaping from custody in the US, UK, Australia, Canada & EU zone ever before ?

Former Bayelsa governor escape UK jail

If they explain Nigeria to you and you understand, they didn't explain it well

While banning it might be the easy way out, people would find alternatives and those might be even more dangerous.
Just tax the he'll out of it and use the tax to build health facilities. Just like how UK raised sugar tax when the diabetes cases went up.
Wait, what am I even saying. Na Nigeria we dey yawn

Constitute a committee. Allocate funds. Spend the funds. Sweep the report under the carpet. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Will be a shame if heads don't roll.
Tunji has been in the news for the right reasons but to find himself in a mess such as this is disappointing.
If found guilty they should both face the wrath of the law.
Until we can follow rule of law regardless of who is involved, it will always be one step forward and many steps backwards

Kemi resigned as a result of misconduct. Edu should too

Glimpsetv:
A working system. In some places, even your kidnapers would use your phone to make and receive calls for days and still won't be traceable
Some will even drop their account numbers for payment of ransome and still will not be caught.

If only you know how many people go missing without a trace is these 'working systems' despite all the tech we have

Also heard, the government paid for the entire land that is now FCT. That money was paid to the state governments from where land was taken. The money was supposed to be used to resettle the indigenous population.
Can't confirm how true this is, but the fact that FCDA can seize any land lends some credence to it

Let's start the year with a win. #YNWA

That's how they have been killing Palestinian civilians while been cheered on by the West.

"A cry for help was heard in Hebrew and the battalion commander ordered the troops to cease fire. The wounded hostage later re-emerged, and was shot and killed, the official said"

That's an excerpt from the BBC report on it.

Action not just words.
We like creating policies and laws more than implementing them

Jokers.

How about we start with producing things the average Nigerian uses?

Just when you think they can't get worse, they find new ways to surprise you.

UN is the most useless organization ever.

You even can nuke any country you want and as long as you have backing of one of the permanent members of SC, you will go scot-free. Nothing will happen.

We have seen it times without number. Russia, China, the US using the veto power to shield criminals.

Unfortunately, there is no justice in this world. Just make sure you have power.

Which kain embarrassment be this??

Thieves

pocohantas:
No sensible person should believe such story.
Just like the story of Ngwa people eating humans. Sounds ludicrous.

The falsehood has been solidified in a GST material being taught in universities.
That's where most people get the information from

themanderon:
All those places you named are actually hiding places for Hamas terrorists. I have seen a satellite image of those guys lunching rockets from some of those locations and that's why Israel asked civilians you vacate. If they don't and the legitimate target is bombed while they are there who should we blame?

Same satellite images that only you saw? Because no MSM have these satellite images. Not CNN, BBC e.t.c
Many of these hospitals are run by RedCross, MSF, UN and they all say their hospitals are not used by Hamas, but 'you have seen satellite images'.

They even bombed a hospital run by Anglican Church and yet you are saying you have seen satellite images.
You are only justifying war crimes.

Nairaland enabling propaganda.

Israel bombed many hospitals, ambulances, and even refugee camps in the last week alone. No mention of it here on Nairaland. It looks like @seun and his mods are pushing Zionist agenda on this forum. As if enabling tribalism and religious extremism isn't enough. Gone are the good old days when this forum had pride.

Another classic example of how media brainwash people.
Even Nairaland here decides what to post. Zero mention of the Church that was attacked yesterday.

You know we are doomed when someone say here that they their source of knowledge of the conflict is Tiktok.
