Seriously, Nigeria has all it takes to be a great nation. If NYSC corp members were to report to the closest police station in their various indigenous local government areas, where they will be indoctrinated into the security outfit of the country, properly trained in conflict and threat dissolution/resolution, and community patrolling/policing, I don't see how the insecurity situation that plagues this country will be much of a protracted situation as it is.
TenQ: Many people blame citizens of Afghanistan for not resisting the Taliban and giving in so easily to them. The question is: If a Foreign Nation Invade Nigeria, will you be patriotic enough to enlist in the Army and Fight off the invaders. Do you think it is worth your sacrifice? Or Will you be willing to accept any fate that befall you if the foreign invaders take over Nigeria?

My is name is Obioha Chibuike and I'm fully referred to as OBIOHA CHIBUIKEM MILFORDSON...
I'm from Imo State Nigeria.
I used to be a Medical Student studying Medicine and Surgery in Ebonyi State University in the year, 2010... that was about 11 years ago when I was accused of a Murder case and arrested afterwards by the Nigerian Police for committing a Crime I knew nothing about... At the time, my innocence was at stake.
They took me to the Prison and not so long after that, I started facing Court trials on homicide... Hence I was kept in the Medium Prison Abakaliki Ebonyi State on awaiting trial, after some years, while still in the prison, I was then sentenced to death by hanging on FRIDAY MORNING, 28th November, 2014 by the Ebonyi State Ministry of Justice... from that moment, I was transferred from Abakaliki Medium Prison to Enugu Maximum Prison where I was Condemned to Death... Such a place are where Criminals are been kept while waiting for Execution, which is Known or called the "CC".
While I was under going all these tortures, which of course, was because I never had anyone to SPEAK for me as a layman and an innocent citizen... however, in my heart, I had believe that the God of the Innocent Man would have to save me from such Death-Roll Imprisonment waiting duely for My Execution by the Government in Enugu Maximum Prison until Our God Vindicated me through a Human right Lawyer whom later took my Death penalty matters to the Upper Court Of Appeal and to the Glory of God, I was discharged and acquitted after the Appeal Court had found me not guilty of any crime before Mankind since 2017.
By the time, I had already spent 7years in the Prison...
Please guys, since I came out of the Death Imprisonment, I have not been myself...
I am Using this Medium to appeal to all Good Nigerians both in diaspora and also People of Good Conscience to join me in my calling of the Ebonyi state Government, Nigerians, to Justice...
I enjoin everyone to be aware of this henious crime against humanity which I have been subjected to all these years even as I seek for a compensation resolution for my case...
Thanks and God bless you all. IT'S A CALL FOR JUSTICE!!!
It's too bad the people do not trust anything called politics and the politicians that practice it anymore because it feels like the common man is being used and victimized in the very game that ought to bring peace, solace, justice, and equity where everyone's voice is heard and counts. So sad!

To resolve this police situation in Nigeria is simple. Let NYSC corp members serve in their local government areas. They can travel for their camps and all whatnot wherever they are posted, then after that everyone reports to their indigenous local government areas. The corp members should report to the closest Police station in their local government area. I believe that every LGA in Nigeria has at least one police station. If the corp members are trained properly in threat dissolution and community patroling let's see how the security situation in Nigeria will not be resolved. Let everybody go and defend their father's house.

Interesting15: Hello guys. So I was working on a project recently, and came across the heartbreaking story of a dead South African celebrity known as Brenda Fassie. I decided to write this to discourage more people out there to do away with bad addictions.
So, Brenda was quite talented as a singer and songwriter, and her talents helped her to the top of her career. Unfortunately, she became addicted to drugs. It was so bad that a report stated that she blew away more than R10-million, courtesy of her addictions. At some point, she had to write off six of her cars, including a Mitsubishi Pajero worth R300,000 and R280,000. The Pajero was believed to have been taken by drug lords, and it disappeared without trace.
It was also revealed that she made attempts to stop her drug habit, and she checked in at rehabilitation centers 30 times, spending up to R300 000. Unfortunately, she died in April 2004, and the post-mortem report revealed that she had taken an overdose of cocaine the previous day before she gave us the ghost. Her addictions damaged her completely.
Just imagine the very first time she tasted cocaine. She would probably have been excited, thinking she just found a new adventure that's pleasurable. Only if she knew that was the beginning of her slavery to what will kill her...
Some of you reading this right now might be addicted to something dangerous too. It might be alcoholism, smoking, prostitution, masturbation, stealing, porn, clubbing, gambling, womanizing, etc. Listen, you have to make a decision to stop, hence it will damage you one day.
I know some of you have been trying to stop doing those dangerous things you are addicted to, but it seems you just can't help yourself. Well, truly, you can't help yourself. That's why I will recommend that you give God the wheel of your life to enable Him help you
How? By getting closer to Him in an intimate relationship. How? By embracing Jesus as LORD and Saviour, and deciding to live according to His dictates. Indeed, JESUS won't fail you.
For those of you that just started doing something bad, you better stop immediately, before you get addicted to it. It might appear as if you are having fun (you might even think you can always control it), but in the blink of an eye, it becomes an addiction, and turned you into its slave - making you a miserable person before finally destroying you.
If you want to get addicted to anything, thenget addicted to good things that will help you. Get addicted to the things of God (studying the Bible, praying, etc). Get addicted to learning good and productive things.
Finally, to anyone still under the yoke of a brutal addiction, you are free in Jesus Name Amen
