Outsiders believe in your country more than you. It’s high time you stop being a doubting Thomas.

same way we believe in others than ours

I can't forget his goal against Andoni Zubuzarreta of Spain in the world cup of 1998, his feeble shot beat the Spanish goalie which was parried into the net giving Nigeria the equalizer before Oliseh blaster from the center field win the match for Nigeria 3-2. I didn't like his playing style then but he has a goal to his name in the Mundial.
After the goal I was like 'Aja raun raun lon pa ikun' 'its a useless dog that can hunt down a squirrel' I didn't reckon with Lawal then and for him to have scored against the agile Zubuzarreta the proverb comes to my mind

There is hardly no semblance of democracy in virtually all the states in Nigeria, what we have are autocratic rulers, emperors, dictators wearing the garb of governors. houses of assembly in the states who are supposed to act as checks and balance are mostly appendage of the executive in their respective states. The Assemblies are hardly independent, acting under the dictate of the governors, standing aloof while the governors arrogate all the powers to themselves. Ànd the States' judiciary are no difference as they hardly give judgements against infractions by the governors, careful not to incur the angst of the emperors as governors are influential in securing promotions and appointments for the judges, a typical case is that of akwa ibom where a judge to head the state judiciary was recommended by njc, while the governor has to ignore the statutory body by appointing his preferred judge

I thought they said the downstream sector is deregulated, why is ppmc still dictating prices.
Since the crash in crude oil price due to covid19, the pump price of AGO (diesel) hasn't come down and it is said to have been deregulated long time ago. Is price of diesel immune to market forces. My fear on this deregulation is that when price of crude oil climbs back, the Shylock marketers will form a cartel that will make it difficult to review prices of petrol downwards when crude crashes again as it is happening to diesel now. Diesel has steadied at average 210 for months as crude crashes by 60%

YoungPerson:
I hate our police. They can't even speak properly. How can you jump from homicide to murder without an autopsy? If Clarence was a regular guy that housed friends during this lockdown, SARS go don break two ribs and one ankle by now. In fact, the case would be in court tomorrow morning and before evening he'd be in jail serving a sentence that Apple or Samsung (dunno which) will pay millions of dollars in compensation for to the victim's family, Clarence for damages, etc. But what do I know? I never even enter inside any law school before.

Smh.

Modification;

Apparently, people don't know the difference between homicide and murder. Google is your friend, ogbeni

homicide is a case that involves loss of life, while murder is a case of death caused by another person

Enquires:
At about 7:50pm shortly after Buhari announced the extension of the lockdown, I and my neighbours gather around a shop in front of the house to discuss the way forward, wail, and give opinions about what the president just said.

During the course of our discussion, the issue of boys terrorising lagos came up and as expected, they were reactions from everyone. Some are of the opinion that this is not as a result of hunger but just an excuse for these hoodlums to perpetrate their evil act. Jokes were flying around (our usual practice of suffering and smiling), people giving out safety tips and all, talks on how to get a cutlass for protection etc.

In the middle of this talk, a young lady came in to buy foodstuffs from the shop and overheard our discussion. She then decided to make her own contribution of how she just survived an alleged attack by some of these boys, how she scrambled for safety some few hours ago, how many were killed including a pregnant woman( at this juncture, i know all what she said were all lies). She went on and on and i could sense that fear were being created among the listener. I was angry, furious and I began to tell as many people around me not to entertain fear but be calm. Meanwhile, just as I'm talking, one of the women in the discussion claim she saw boys moving in, and this is where it all begins.

Come and see how people were running helter-skelter, some of the people that were initially boasting how fearless they are, ran like children to take cover. Panics began to set in and just like a wild fire, i witness how it spread throughout the whole street. Shops that were open, close in a twinkle of an eye without seeing the enemy in sight. In the midst of this, I was still angry. Angry, because, it was clear to me this is just another false alarm. The next thing i know, the youths gather in their numbers with cutlasses, knives, sticks chanting as one going to battle. Tyres were burnt in every junction accompany with shouts. Different weapons were brought out from boys ranging from age 12. And the peaceful atmosphere in no time, turned to a violent one. I witness first hand how people can be mistaken for robbers and be burnt alive cause, every okada rider that came into the street was virtually mobbed, innocent residents were accosted, and if not provided useful evidence was asked to sit on the floor.

I switched on my data and the next message i got were from friends, telling me how Igando is on fire, How they have being coordinated attacks within igando, how robbers have invaded Igando and killed many. I was stunned upon seeing this. Logged on to twitter and it's already trending and I'm like, is it this same Igando or another one? Is it the fire we started by ourselves? or is it not the boys that came out with their weapons to attack an unseen army?

My point is, we should stop creating unnecessary fear among ourselves. Let's stop spreading fake news, it help no one. If i should upload the "deadly" pictures and videos i took, its as if we are in a war front, imagine i post it on twitter or facebook, People who are far away would think these are the criminals not knowing they are just residents trying to protect themselves. It later dawned on me that majority of the videos circulating online were that of the residents not the hoodlums. And for the arrest that were made, assuming the policemen visited this street, almost everyone would be arrested as they were all with one deadly weapon or the other. At around 3am, I was woken up with what sounded like gun shots but unknown to me it was the young boys that visibly got angry that were banging gates of every house shouting that everybody should come out, that nobody deserve sleep since they too are not sleeping.

I'm not saying these cultist don't exist or do not attack communities. What I'm saying is, we should stop the spread of fake news, let's report it the way it is.

I appreciate every one who came out yesterday to keep watch till this morning in a bid to try to protect their communities. You guys are the best! God keep us all!!

all this things about hoodlums, armed robbers, awawa boys, one million boys attacks in Lagos and Ogunn are fake news causing panic and confusion. People for their own fancy are creating robbery scene in their mind and downloading it to others. Most if not all the robbery news on social media are fake just to fuel unnecessary panic. On the early hours of Saturday 11th April at exactly 12:38 pm, a friend of mine living in the same area with me n one of the border towns between Ogun and Lagos sent me an SMS that armed robbers are on his street. On receiving the sms, I couldn't sleep again thinking my street could be next target of the marauders.Not quite long I heard shoutings on my street calling everybody to come out for vigilante that armed robbers are in the neighborhood. On coming out I starting telling everyone that the robbers are at my friend's area and that he had sent me a distressed sms, no one could say where the robbers are but we started making bonfires as fear and panic spread through the community. As day break I put a call thru to the friend in distress but what he told me was surprising, saying he only heard noise on his street and without him taking his time to find out what's going on, he concluded armed robbers are on his street and send me the text not knowing it is residents calling out others to come out for vigilante to ward off imaginary hoodlums. And me too relied on his sms to spread the news in my hood that the robbers are in my friend's area making me too unknowingly spreading fake news triggering false alarms.

Aldebaran:


Uganda President 75 year old

Cameroon President Paul Biya 87 years

Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari 77 years

Zimbabwe Emmerson Mnangagwa 77 years

Hmmmmm Africa...

how old is Trump, even the Democratic nominee Biden? Then how old is Faure Gnassigbe of Togo. Its not about age but competence

sonnie10:
Misdemeanor is part of criminal offenses.

You actually have it wrong.
Criminal offense is divided into two; misdemeanor and felony.

can this conviction pose a legal hurdle to her if she decides to contest election for political office.

paragon40:
so if they are sentenced to one month imprisonment.. What will they be called?

can this conviction bar her from contesting for political office?

paragon40:
the implications is that they will become convits of a crime. The one people term as ex-convits

this is not a criminal offence or felony, just misdemeanor

Imagine Dino as Nigeria's communications minister

ificatchmodeh:
Where is Vice President Osibanjo?

Nigerians are asking?

why asking? Remember 'never outshine your master'

We are going to drink our crude oil las las.

Workers should be paid with crude oil in jerricans and allowed to go look for buyers individually.

PaulSimon2020:
Write Google, if they find it worthy, they will remap your area or name it. That's your best bet, you can't do it yourself.

thanks

I live in one of the satellite towns in Lagos/Ogun border located in Ogun State, My area is one of the fast developing towns in Ogun state, I checked google map to see if my street is listed, and I find out my street is mapped but name not listed. How can I have my street name on the map?

Not surprised Nigeria is in this mess, with people like Melaye as (former) lawmaker.

This guy and his propaganda

big7:
You lack truthful saying.. You forgot to make mention that good luck removed ihejirika as the COAS? say it as it is and replaced by who? Go find out... Na your assignment be that

so if Buhari remove buratai today and replace him with a Christian, will he be justified?

RagaMufeen:
What I Saw Today On Reno's Instagram Is Making Me Scared

The North have taken everything. Even parastatals are all in the hands of Northerners.

I can now see why even sarrki have abandoned Buhari.
This is scary, very scary.

In Jonathan's time, President: Jonathan, Senate President: Mark, COAS: Ihejirika, except for head of judiciary, I am not justifying Buhari's sectionalism but to juxtapose the two regime for objective criticism, it is a mischief to point out post held by northern Moslems but choose to ignore those held by Christians/southerners

This is a fake news, u don't vote or rank a player in your first 3 if he/she is your compatriot, that is the standard practice,

It is easier said when not in power, I remember Tam David West in 2015 campaigning for Buhari saying if Buhari is elected he will bring petrol price down to N40 but alas when he was elected he double the price from initial N87 to N 145. It is possible to pay Lagos workers 100k but 80% of the workforce are surplus to requirement apart from teachers and health workers. The problem is the political will to downsize the overbloated civil service.

They can build church as large as Ibadan but our poverty will be big as the whole of Nigeria, Most of these big churches fundings are from embezzlements from top public officers. Do you wonder about correlation between proliferation of churches and proliferation of poverty in Nigeria? Corrupt monies are used to seek utopian spiritual favours from these so called men of God
