only a mad man will confront a man with AK-47. We have nothing they have the government and the arms. But atimes we waylay them privately.

User discretion advised when using the word ”GOVERNMENT” in as much as you’re right, we aren’t kids, we should know that the government is not a single entity, it’s a compound entity, and there are several to thousands of administrations and organizations, so definitely we should know that everything going down in this country is conspiracy, there’s an insider in the government that’s a mole running these massacres, everyone in the government can’t be evil, where the government is getting it wrong is the part that they feel they can handle everything on their own, like they are gods and they can solve all our problems, we citizens play a big role in it too, for instance there’s no intensive follow up investigation of massacre, these villages don’t have learned people to take videos, photos and footage to aid investigators dealing with resolving our issues, definitely one or two real pictures of a bandit released to the media would exposed few other criminals and can lead to the root of the problem and dig the insider out, the day the government would establish a surveillance system to both rural and urban areas, watch how these insiders would cripple these systems, that’s if they don’t loot the funds for the project... if we had good billionaire Nigerian working towards private security in the country, maybe it’ll be difficult for the insider to have his way into the system, but guess what? Our billionaires are Bitcoin lords and drug kingpins, and looters of oil funds, it’s just crazy man...

SEGLIZ:
thanks for the insult, you might have gotten your message across without you blotted ego, arrogance and pride. check my conversation with the individual bellow even he claimed northerner as it may be.

what guys in the north doing to stem this tide?

If I reread my last statement well I never directed any vulgar comment against you but if any in conditions it has affected your conscience then I might have hit the right spot, but I won’t apologize because that won’t make any difference we aren’t fighting, we are discussing the economy.
PS; believe that Bauchi guy at your own peril, I’ve read most of his comments here and they sounded like someone who lives in the north but not a northerner, a typical northerner always have a constructive criticism, he just made you believed that all bokolo herdsmen are violent and dangerous, that’s saying once you sight a Fulani man that’s tagged bokolo, you should be afraid, and you probably might just run into an innocent bokolo cattle herder fending for his kids, meanwhile I never said Fulani’s aren’t our problems, but their ignorance to education is what is leading them to being used by the few educated ones, for instance there’s no amount of millions you will be given to blow yourself up as a suicide bomber or kill random farmers working when obviously you know they’re working for the economy of the country, but the real deal is the slightly educated and politically oriented hausa dressed like what they want to be addressed as in the media pulling these hits, BREAKING NEWS; Fulani herdsmen kill 20 in Enugu east... well everyone has their own views I can’t say everything in one quote, but you got the message I hope, and my apologies if I have pricked your conscience in what I’ve just said

Until it is regulated by the government, I can’t give any information to private companies.

SEGLIZ:
the fulani herders, I may put it that way (I don't want generalise it) for I hear northerners ain't fancy Fulani's.

I've seen a fulani man living here in south saying there is a particular ethnic fulani that pride in violence.

I once stood against my mum and siblings calling a northern scavenger boko haram believing he is a potential danger awaiting orders to inflict.

I did this not because I trusted the aboki guy but my dislike towards dehumanizing fellow human. generally the southerners are welcoming accommodating and warmly to all.

the evil some northerners have inflicted make the average southerner see even a peaceful God fearing northerner as a danger.

Typical tribal Nigerian have never been to the other part of the country, hence they speak in ignorance, I’ve been to all geopolitical zones of Nigeria, hence my neutral position in perspective. Judging from the present state of the country, our politicians feast of violence for accreditation and discrediting opposition, meanwhile developed nation feast on farm stock, weapon grade and high end technology stock to move market volatility, and in turn boost their economy, we are still in our baby steps but our politicians are scared of feudal actions with neighboring countries because repercussions are unpredictable, so they choose when to pull hit or not within the states, and you ignorant ones fuel their desires with your hatred for each other, and publicize their impacts through protests... the solution to our problem isn’t a young leader because they’ll study the system and play along because it cannot be changed overnight, the solution is being productive yourself, let’s build Nigeria with our own ideas and create jobs with our own ideas, US government play less role in the job creation of her citizens... most jobs come from big private companies.

Danjikanbauchi:
God forbid me to be a fulani man. Even my people here in Tafawa Belewa local government area of Bauchi are not save from the Terrorists. We cannot farm in peace.

You’re a confused man

saintokwuluora:
Rather help a Muslim in need than facilitate Islam.QED

Hate begins with you!
Put religion aside, we’re not the first nor the last to practice these religions. And you’ve been predisposed to go against anything that is Islam, indirectly meaning you’ve been programmed against a group of individuals because of an ideology, same applies to Muslims too. The pastor just showed he’s cognitively balanced than you are.
Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it’ll fade away as we adopt reasons and science as our guidelines - BERTRAND RUSSELL.

DaOriginalCEO:
My cousin, a die-hard fan of Buhari came to me for help (his wife was in the hospital). I told him that things are hard right now, that Nigeria is not smiling. So I told him that, maybe "I can help after 2023 when a better person becomes President sha"

He was so disappointed and left angrily...me no send him.

TO ALL OF YOU attacking me... During the election, this my cousin said, LIVES WILL BE LOST instead of him to loose his polling unit. They attcked many PDP members and was feeling untouchable.

They all went for odeshi and they were all ready for anything. In fact, he fought another cousin who approached his parents (who are PDP supporter).

If I write more about him, none of you abusing me will be willing to assist too. This is a man who believes killings and kidnappings are normal.

You’re lying against your cousin to put yourself in the light, killing and kidnapping cannot be normal to any human being of any psychological state of mind.

Liftoff was set for 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT) July 20 (Tuesday) 2021, from West Texas.
Blue Origin will attempt an historic first crewed spaceflight Tuesday (July 20), as the company attempts to launch its billionaire founder Jeff Bezos and a crew of three to kick-start a space tourist program for those who've always wanted to fly in space.

If all goes to plan, the company's New Shepard rocket and capsule will take off for an 11-minute journey, launching and landing outside Van Horn, Texas at Blue Origin facilities, dubbed Launch Site One. The rocket will carry the spacecraft on a suborbital path before separating, allowing the crew to descend in their capsule under parachutes for a ground landing. Liftoff is set for 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT).
Crew member Wally Funk, 82, has been waiting the longest for the flight opportunity. The Mercury 13 aviator tried six decades ago to join NASA's astronaut corps, but was excluded due to her gender and lack of military experience during an era when American women were excluded from military pilots. The first American woman in space, Sally Ride, didn't reach orbit until 1983.
When Funk was asked in a CBS interview Monday (July 19) about her wait since she was a "twentysomething", Funk joked that she still feels 24 years old. Indeed, the octogenarian said she plans to do "somersaults and tumble and do anything that I've learned to do" during her 19,600 hours of flight experience on-Earth.
Bezos created Blue Origin in 2000 to chase down a childhood dream for spaceflight; he decided at a young age to become a rich entrepreneur to fund his way into becoming an astronaut, and struck it rich after founding e-commerce giant Amazon in 1995.

"People say they go into space [and] that they come back changed; astronauts always talk about that," Bezos told NBC Today on Monday. "I can't wait to see what it's going to do to me," the long time businessperson added.
Referring to the "overview effect" that some astronauts say they experience when they look at Earth from above, Bezos said he is anticipating seeing "the thin limit of the Earth's atmosphere, and seeing how fragile the planet is, that it's just one planet."

Bezos' brother Mark, a venture capitalist and volunteer firefighter, told CBS that he is still in disbelief that he gets to experience such a rare opportunity that "your big brother loves."

He added, "I fell in love with space, the promise of it, the adventure of it. I'm just so excited to be able to be there, and represent my mom and dad and our sister Christina, and supporting Jeff. Realizing this lifelong dream, it's a real honor."
Rounding out the crew is 18-year-old Oliver Daemen, whose father (Somerset Capital Partners CEO Joes Daemen) bankrolled the trip for an undisclosed amount. Daemen is working on a pilot's license and has been interested in space since age four.

Daemen came onto the crew at the last minute after an auction winner, who successfully bid $28 million for a seat on the first flight, could not make opportunity due to a scheduling conflict. As the runner-up bidder, Oliver moved up a flight from being scheduled on the second crew.

When asked by CBS how he was feeling, Daemen said while it's been hard to sleep lately because of the anticipation, "the excitement just overtakes the nervousness" and he can't wait to go up to space.

Jerryherd:
Yet they can't arrest bandits on Nigerian soil

Give us names, we need their identity not rants, some of y’all are friends/family with these bandits unknowingly.

life2017:
Why is he not called Bandit?
How do we define a Millitant, bandit, unknown Gun men, kidnappers, arm robbers or Criminals in Nigeria?

How do d media chose this terms beyond Tribes, religion and region?

You’re reasonable, I choose to just watch the activities going on in Nigeria, it’s not rocket science but it has a pattern it’s following, bloggers choose the names we call our terrorists over here.

Olodo24:
You can't help him and you're here badmouthing yahoo boys.

Who told you the OP is financially buoyant to support him? And should it be now that he’s discussing anti-fraud that he should demand for financial assistance? Nigerians can’t change, let’s end this discussion.

Looks like MartinFeelz so his lookalike

4tomandchi:
Why is he so keen on Kano - Niger Republic what happened to Calabar - Abuja - Maiduguri.

Not not link Nigeria together first?


What is Niger Republic special contribution to our economy that we have to spend huge linking the two countries?

Is Buhari from Niger Republic, Oh I forgot Kastina and Niger are one the spend the same money and speak same language the boarder is almost none existence.

Look kid, large number of people migrate to Nigeria through Niger illegally because there’s no road network, the railway is to keep track of whoever comes in or go out of Nigeria through that route and a means of getting their profiling before entering Nigeria, which means not using the train would be a criminal offense. Watch the News, don’t read it.

sulaak:
How can you solve Nigeria security issues without electricity and transportation?

Nigeria needs both to boost employment and economic productivity to reduce unemployment and insecurity.

Which of them should be the utmost priority?
I know electricity is as important as transportation.

MadamVanessa:
I dare this zoo, let any scratch be found in MNK body if this uselessss shithole won't burn to ashes. .

What will you do? e-Warrior!

nograv:
It was at this line I realised you were a comedian...

I have worked abroad in both the US, Europe and Asia in finance. Across financial modelling, software engineering and trading. I am yet to meet a Northerner working in any gainful employment in these sectors.. I have met many a Yoruba or Igbo, but not one person from the North.. Mtchew lies..

Making impacts in Europe or Building wealth in Asia or rendering civil services to US does not affect the economy of Nigeria, Reread that.

mrvitalis:
Truth is people would still use roads because this high speed trains are very expensive and can't even repay themselves in 100 years time even

Don't u think more job creation would tackle the root cause of insecurities ?

Job creation would be a saving grace to the nation, but pointing to that angle, there are several developed countries with a level of unemployment rate that are very safe in sense of violence and crisis, don’t you think insecurity in the nation so far has been an interesting chess game? I mean look at Botswana, Ghana, Tanzania, and the rest of these not so poor economy African countries, what then are their unemployed youths doing since they aren’t up jeopardizing their economy with insecurity? What do you think?

mrvitalis:
It makes really no Sense from an economic point of view for a broke country with Nigeria

Spending billions for a rail that would contribute less than $100 million a year to our GDP

But investing $4 billion dollars to our transmission line that's controlled by the federal government would push our transmission capability to around 12,000MW and since we already have that installed capacity ...power generation n production would average around 10,000mw this would double our current state

Benefits millions far more than rail

Contribute over $50 billion to our GDP

Don’t you think security issues should be addressed as a priority before transmission energy? More railway means less vehicular movements and more accidents free highways, and it’ll repress roadside terrorism too.

Buhari is not a bad person, it’s Nigerian youths, I can imagine myself handling my class as a class captain, not everyone would submit their fully copied notes or sweep the class room properly, I have to sweep it at the end myself with other volunteers or report to the class master, this is a typical Nigerian perspective... Buhari can’t be in a position like this and at his age want to do evil, but it’s we Nigerians that pick the weapons and kidnap our neighbors and ask for ransom because we believe our neighbors have relatives abroad...
Remember, achieving success might be very difficult and not forthcoming, but with ideal mindset and actionable strategy we have successful people in the society... here in Nigeria, Crime pays not effort, and those doing the efforts are under social pressure to focus on the tides, Fighting Crime isn’t just the duty of the government, but if death penalties are given to perpetrators, maybe it’ll instill fear into wannabe criminals.

Madmohamed1:
your very stupid.

That’s not a comment

Racoon:
[s][/s]It is never a crime according to globally acceptable norm/laws if a people not satisfy with even their sovereign existence decided to exit a union.This was the position the northern region found itself after the vestigial remains of their brothers who planned the July-1966 northern military counter-coup(which Buhari was one of the key planners) succeeded.

They were all equivocal about succession from the Nigerian federation without even informing their western allies who helped them to kill the Igbos.The "Araba flag" was even flying @ their then Ikeja military cantonment base. Only when the British and American ambassadors talked the perils of succession to them that they later backed down under Lt.Col.Gowon

Meanwhile here is the same Buhari supporting the succession of Western Sahara from Morroco without remembering that he is acting contrary to what he is opposing today...


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/buhari-backs-western-sahara-on-self-determination-from-morocco/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

Whatever you are saying, Buhari didn't use charm and guns to protest on the street to carry out the coup or succession, he did it with formal governmental backing and succeeded, not igboho who is a thug not even a politician or part of any government, he's just an ordinary citizen trying to spark another protest of looting and arson, please reason radically.

7lives:
Wow I thought I was the only one.

Most of y’all don’t voice out, I think it’s TIME!

When the table turns and Nigeria becomes Africa biggest and most successful country, it’s these same people that’ll benefit from it, these same negative energy humans that charge their energy through negative news, these same people that’ll post on the timeline that life is not a competition but are quick to compare their country, these same people that contribute zero to the development of their country, Ghana government cannot be all that good, there are definitely corrupt politicians in Ghana, but you don’t see their youths protesting and washing their dirty underwear in public... Our social defamation is the first enemy, WATCHOUT
A day will come when I’ll deactivate my 7 years old nairaland account and find another means of getting news feed, because nairaland as a platform is bad for my health, good vibe before good diet.

I have endless list but I can’t even be president, I don’t have the means.

nlreserve:
While the few privileged Nigerians are making it look like the Nigeria is working, the poor brainless youths are supporting them. Someone is speaking up for you but you are blaming him.

Last time I checked, a graduate was washing a poo ridden bedsheet for 15k per month in an hotel and you claim the country is working.

Brainless youths from the south and the middle belt.

What do you think you’re doing? You want to be everywhere or what?

But how will the president focus on the development of the country and way forward if the citizens are always dragging us back to where we were before? Like rationally let’s think about it, we’ve been here before.
