Youngzedd: [size=20pt]ALWAYS RIGHT. GIVE ME THE DAMN MONEY AND TALK POO AGAIN AND E GO CLEAR FOR YOUR EYES [/size]

splashbaby: So our army fought so hard that during the thick of action they can't read their map and don't know when they are in foreign land.

SirShymex: Defo at the bold. Crazy fire power with anti-craft guns blazing at people.

The sound of those heavy weapons alone is scary. But the fact that couldn't hit those guys is a mystery. Perhaps, they don't have snipers in their rank.

I doff my hat to those poor guys in the naij army - that's real patriotism right there. Risking their lives for ingrates and corrupt souls.

Nigerian heroes right there.

Sincere9gerian: These Tinubu attack dogs are so predictable. They swallowed the unconfirmed BBC reports hook line and sinker and had a massive celebration on that thread.

However, when the Nigeria Army released an official statement on the incident, though also unconfirmed (just like that of the BBC), they reject it as a lie. The few Tinubu attack dogs that showed up on this thread are up in arms against the report while others, like Gbawe, are conspicuously missing.

The question then is why are Tinubu attack dogs pro-Boko Haram, anti-Nigeria Army and anti-Nigeria? Why are they massively propagating Boko Haram propaganda with statements such "Boko Haram is better armed than the Nigeria Army"?

Nigerians do not need to look any further than Tinubu attack dogs for the ENEMY of their country

EasternLeopard: If you cared to read my post

You will see that I said govt should used borrowed money to invest in profitable ventures

And

If they must use borrowed money to build infrastructure, they should burrow extra and use that extra to invest in ventures whose profits are large enough to wipe out over time the loans and interest on loans of both that invested on infrastructure and the one invested on profitable ventures.

Idrismusty97: And of the highest 10, two are in the North and only one in the Landlocked region. Surprisingly, those two are not oil producing States.

A region with a high population is much much more likely to have a high GDP as you can see with Lagos, Kano, Kaduna etc GDP doesn't reflects the true condition of a region. Lagos have a GPD bigger than that of Kenya and Ghana yet we are still the ones flooding into Accra and Nairobi for vacation, education and leisure(That's for the few who even have the money).

This is the estimated population for each Nigerian States;
As you can clearly see, yobe and Gombe has one of the lowest population in Nigeria just a little over 2million. Even Ekiti and Ebonyi thats why they are among the lowest in terms of GDP.The rest that made it to the top 10 in your GDP lists(Apart from Lagos,Kano, Edo and Kaduna state) have a population of at least 4million and are oil producing States.

lekanolas: The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, on Wednesday dismissed rumour of five new cases of the Ebola Virus Disease in Lagos.

This is contained in a statement signed by Dan Nwomeh, his Special Assistant on Media and Communication.

“Presently, Nigeria has only two confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease.

“This clarification follows media reports of five new cases in Lagos State. The report should be disregarded.

“Any doubtful information on the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria should be verified from the office of the Minister of Health.

“The minister has the sole authority to announce confirmed cases as far as disease in Nigeria is concerned,’’ the statement stated and promised that any new confirmed case would be promptly announced.

GenBuhari: I doubt authencity of Thief Obasanjo's economic figures.
A man that can deceive the nation for 8 years that Abacha looted by conducting fake court proceedings abroad and organising the return of phantom "Loot" that nobody has ever traced in our treasury accounts is capable of any level of deception.

For instance I do not know if any economist can explain how Thief Obasanjo managed to devalue Naira 500% from N22=$1 to N135=$1 whilst hiking fuel prices from N20/litre to N75/litre and still maintain Inflation steady at around 10%??

It does add not add up- his finances needs to be fully audited.

MRbrownJAY: again, there is a HUUUUUUUUGE difference between better guns that cost $1500 each OR protective gear that cost $500 each and planes that cost $35Milla or tanks that cost $8milla........ what you are saying is as clueless as saying that flying to the moon is the same as flying from Abuja to Lagos.

you want the gov to spend money it doesnt have (and that will better serve in other lacking areas) instead of acting RIGHT and spending the money properly to fight a BH that you CANT fight with jets and tanks!

@Emmatok
you are seeing this issue exactly like me....... imagine the overkill and the amount of casualties from the general public if they bomb the forest with jets and tanks. then they will simply call it collateral damage BS.

casket: She was never discharged, Minister of Health gave wrong information.
May her gentle soul rest in peace and good God give the family the fortitude to bear the loss...

imsuboi: ^^ how dare you compare a common engineer to a doctor? Does an engineer deal directly with human lives??

Does an engineer come in contact with disease-laden people daily?

Does an engineer battle for close to 15 hrs daily trying to get a total stranger to at least breathe again?

Does an engineer peep through a microscope daily trying to find a cure to diseases trying to wipe out mankind?

I could enumerate lots & lots of stuff doctors go through daily that you know nothing about. But.. Nah, I won't.

I'll leave you to wallow in your ignorance.



Use your brain dude. It's not for fancy

It's only in this useless country Government messes with doctors


SMH

Eragablessen: Mr Brown J must either be residing abroad or he must have skipped his morning pills.

wealthinfos: how about the issue of possesion of arm by dad? Since he's a traditional ruler maybe the law gives him some cover to posses such arm for self-defense right?

wealthinfos: i feel u bro, hehehehe, so why did the police arrest him then??

obayaya: Put the emboldened in the right perspective!!! Loitering during a curfew is an offense for which anybody can be arrested.

wealthinfos: But does the law protect one in case of claims of self-defence of the accused? In real truth the son has been in stiff oposition against the dad, the monarch; truth also is that his son made attempts to stop his dad with mob for preparing to host the governor who was on an inter LGA tour in the monarch's LGA who happens to be the comunity of the governor's key oposition in the state who also is the minister of state for education. Now could the law blame the monarch for using his right of self-defence to save his life?

wealthinfos: I wanted to ask, whats the position of law should a father shoot his son who have always been in opposition against his dad who is a monarch?

porka: There's thick darkness at 12am.

Historically, Nigeria's elections had been compromised by politicians' shenanigans using the darkness as a cover.

Weapons, fake ballots materials, political thugs etc are moved from one place to the other under the cover of darkness to do serious harm to humans beings and compromise the result of the polls.

Having these in mind, security agencies often deploy their men to curb politicians' excesses and safeguard Nigerians' lives and property, as well as protect the sanctity of the elections.

Everyone found at this time is quickly questioned regarding their mission at that time of the night.

People who can explain their mission are promptly released, others who cannot are restraint until further notice.

That's what is special about 12am.

Pataki: All these noisemaking by APC should stop.

Go to court and address the madness by DSS.

I am getting really bored with all this newspaper noise making.

porka: Was any caught at 12am?

porka: Was Chris Uba caught at 12am during Osun election?

porka: Go back and read the allegations.

porka: They are masters at propaganda and diversion of public attention.

Instead of addressing a very weighty bomb throwing and 'bribery' allegation that the DSS spokesperson has made they are here talking about human rights bla bla bla.

Normal human beings who have nothing to hide will by now be in a competent court suing the daylight out of the DSS if they are sure the allegations are false.

Our people are only interested in how to hoodwink the public?

Every time someone takes them on, and when they don't have any coherent response they resort to innuendos.

Nigeria will outlive all those throwing bombs and killing innocent people in the name of politics.

porka: Do you make any sense yourself?

Must opposition spokesperson be in Osun?

Emphasis on his 'Kwaraness' means he is not an electorate in Osun. Doesn't reside in Osun, did not register to vote there and is not from there.

Must you suddenly exercise your freedom of movement at 12am on election day?

atlwireles: The DSS Spokesperson has been speaking on the arrest of the APC National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, during the governorship election in Osun state.



Speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Miss Ogar explained that Mr Mohammed had no business in Osogbo, the Osun state capital, on an election day and that he was arrested for wandering.

“As per my last account, I think Alhaji Lai Mohammed is from Kwara State. That’s not to say he has no rights, there’s freedom of association and all that, but we know about the time he was picked up, it was a few minutes to 12AM in the morning.

“With all due respect and intent, was he supposed to be roaming about the streets when he knows that security was on alert?

“He talked about being thrown into a black bus. Let me tell you truth, you know when Nigerians find themselves in a free environment, they talk in such a manner that you will take them as champions, like they can wrestle the lion with their bare hands.

“When he was taken to the office, I am told, he was totally disoriented because of fear and could not even utter a word.

“He said that they told him to enter a bus and he refused, nothing like that actually happened and he wasn’t kept for two hours. I think the highest he spent within our premises was 45 minutes.

“It was the Director that graciously asked the senior officer to take him because he was just asking ‘where am I? What am I doing here?’

“If he wasn’t physically conscious of where he was and what he was doing, what was he doing outside?” Miss Ogar said.

Miss Ogar was reacting to an earlier Channels Television interview with Mr Lai Mohammed, during which the APC Spokesman accused the DSS of being biased during the Osun State governorship election.
