who still take the Nigerian government serious? is it not better to die of covid-19 than be beheaded by these bandits

@Elbinawi. The cause of Nigeria's insecurity is not lack of weapons but lack of wisdom from Buhari himself.

A man without hands don't go about looking for trouble. It was Buhari himself that made the situation this bad.

Now let me give you an example. The endsars protest went bizarre because the president felt there was no need to address the people when the protest was still at it's infancy. A simple thing as addressing the public created a huge problem.


Another example is the south east problem. When Buhari came to power, he started calling them 5% and all manner of rubbish, telling them he cannot negotiate with an unarmed group. Now that they are armed I hope he can now negotiate with them?

The insecurity in Nigeria is not due to lack of weapons but just a case of stupidity from the C in C. He thought he had enough soldiers to fight from all fronts. What a stupid assumption. There are a lot of examples to give. I can go on and on.

AreaFada2:
Well, we cannot just give up and not try. I go to museums wherever I go. Including 9ja and I see people there too. Do we close airports, shopping malls, bus garages and other places because one might be kidnapped or killed? I think not.

All aspects of Nigerian economy are underutilised including finance, manufacturing, tourism, mining, education and agriculture. Despite herdsmen killing farmers, we cannot give up our cocoa, plantain or oil palm plantations or stop farming altogether. That would be defeatist.
Benin can begin to push tourism with cultural festivals, the moat, artwork and the New museum in the offing. Waiting for monthly oil money allocation from Abuja as it is now is not sustainable.
Thailand has tourism police /volunteers who patrol tourist spots. They don't have two heads or 4 hands in Thailand. We can do same.

My answer to your last sentence is "why have we not done it"?
Nobody is saying we should shut down the country because of killings. but what you're saying is like putting the cart before the horse. It is not rubbish but you cannot be developing tourism when there is insecurity everywhere. Let's face it, there is no country that really makes money from tourism from the local population. You have to attract foreigners.
If you tell yourself the truth, do you think foreigners will be willing to visit Nigeria even if we gather all the sculptures in the world here? Even we who are citizens here are afraid to move around not to talk of foreigners.

What of
Prison Break
Smallville
Supernatural
Spartacus
The Tudors
Vampire Diarie
Legend of the seeker
Then too many joor!!!

That was what I was also about to point out until I took another look at the list. I would say it's a good list.

For example "doctor who" is a series we watched back in 1992 or 1993 if I'm not mistaken. You can't compare that with Prison break and Smallville that aired recently.

Good morning dear nairalanders!

I have two daughters: one will be 3 years old later in the year and the other will be 1 next month. I noticed that my first daughter is too timid. She gets easily frightened by her peers. She is quiet. She will allow just anybody to carry her - even those whom she is older and bigger than - without any resistance.

I really don't like these attributes about her. I want her to have the boldness to resist some of these things. I want her to be aggressive. I want her to grow up having confidence in doing things her way.
I also wish to instill that in the second child. Thank you!

If you have spare time keep reading various stories for her. stories you know she would like. And please don't try changing her. You would be shocked when she changes because she will definitely change. At the age of 12 to 16 most children become quite aggressive especially the male. It is at this stage she will be needing constant advice. For now please let her and help her enjoy her childhood. Please these type of playing is very important for their sanity in later life

AreaFada2:
Dude, if you go to top museums of the world like Louvre in Paris, you will know how millions go to see Mona Lisa. Copies of Mona Lisa are everywhere but nobody cares about them. Try to understand how art and culture works regarding paintings, sculpture and other art works. You cannot compare a copy of Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, or works by Michelangelo to cheap copies.

Oga the reason people visit Paris to see those sculptures is because Paris is safe. If you're told there is a high chance of you being kidnapped in Paris,will you still go there? Are our museums currently loaded with fake materials? How many people visit our museum to see the other original materials we have? This adventure will be a fruitless one. And as someone already said above that the few ones they've returned have been converted to private property. expect something like this

AreaFada2:
They have produced lots of the stolen ones, using pictures from museums across the world. But copy nor be original. Some are centuries old and very valuable. They are are heritage.

What is actually different from the copy and the original? is it not the same person that did the copy and original? How much have the so called copy generated for the state so far? Don't get me wrong I'm also happy about the development but it's really not worth the effort considering the numerous challenges facing us now

oz4real83:
How many Nigerians visit Museums here in Nigeria? These artefacts will just be wasting in our museums except for the few private schools students who will visit to see them in the Museums during excursions. If not that they were stolen, I would have preferred them being borrowed to these countries where the artefacts will generate funds for the real owners of these artefacts. Tourism in Nigeria doesnt sell, the security, political and economic conditions of the country don't encourage tourism

The main question I have with this development is that "is it that the Benin can no longer produce these artifact that were stolen?"

When you go to Igun in Benin City these guys are talented and can still produce these stuffs. Why didn't they produce the exact types that were stolen? and keep it in the museum so we see how much it can generate before embarking on this useless adventure.

I call it a useless adventure because with insecurity everywhere there is no way tourism can create profit. Traveling on our federal highways require serious fasting and prayers. How many international tourist are ready to become prayer warriors because they want to see a useless bronze sculpture?

When was this statement made?

Tinubu angered? ha!
Are you in PDP?
Are you a wolf in sheep's clothing?

I hope it delivers the message of your village people

Freestainworld:
I hope they will sue Boko Haram for uploading the pics, mumu country

This was actually the first thing that came to my mind.

inoki247:
Alot of people are hungry out there me no even understand the country again...


imagine person jump my fence come steal live Turkey for midnight....

That one even good. Someone jump my fence come dey cut my plantain on the tree o. I just shine torch light dey look the guy while he continued, when he was done he jumped the fence back and left with the head of plantain while the tree was still standing

nedekid:
They can take legal action against Boko haram?

Oga if you read my post properly you would direct this question to the army not me. Or did you read the report at all?

4ckyou:
Private securities move with ak47

Yes, well recognized, trained and licensed private securities should be allowed to move with AK 47.

Like the types of security companies employed by banks. I'm not talking of the private vigilante.

Most of those security will be used in guiding the elite while they free the police force for the masses. Currently in some cases more than 100 police officers will be guarding one elite citizen while some police stations can not boast of 60 police officers.

The army cannot do anything about that because in most cases it is Boko Haram that are actually uploading these pictures. is it the Boko Haram that is having a upper hand in battle that they intend on taking legal actions on?

@the posters above, I don't think you understood what you read. They're not asking for a state of emergency on a state or any region, but on the subject matter "Security". That is making security a priority in his agenda.

Back to the topic. State of emergency will not solve anything. Rather the legislatures are the main problem and they should start weighing their options. Which are as follows:

1. Either create state police or

2. allow citizens protect themselves by allowing those above 18years move with AK 47 or

3. Allow the private securities move with AK47 or
4. Legalise social security and other benefits to the unemployed etc. or
5. Totally scrap this constitution and write a new one. or

6. start making arrangements for peacefully dividing the country etc

Under normal circumstance the VC does not have the power to appoint or nominate the registrar. At the end of the day the other guy nominated by the pro-chancellor might end up becoming the registrar.

officialmario:
I wonder the kind of people establishing schools nowdays, for you to be a proprietor or proprietress of a school you need to have studied EDUCATION in school so as to have the clear understanding of how to handle your school and the entire staff.

My friend made some comment on some of his students report card and he is in trouble now.
These are some of the comments:
"He is not active in class"
"She keeps gang in the school"
"He is a truant."
"She is rude and not respectful",
those are some of the comment he made, and the proprietor told him to go and apologize to the parent for the comment made on their children's result, the guy has refused and has been fired for nt apologizing.

Whats your opinion on this?
did you get any comment that made your parent to be mad at you while in secondary school?

Are you kidding me? A teacher wrote "he is a truant" on a child's result? I blame the school Sha.
Truth be told the teacher deserves an outright sack. The problem is not with the owners of the school but the unqualified teachers we use in teaching these days. Having taught for some years now there is a reason why I make it compulsory in my school, the last person to vet the result is the principal's office (the VP included). When such thing is found, you educate the teacher on why he is wrong and ask him to rewrite another result in order to avoid such embarrassment.

Jesus is not a man point of correction. God is neither a male or female.

Sunnycliff:
Let's stop reporting these killings, as if it has not been happening before... Garba Shehu, 2021

You took the word out of my mouth.

Even if the lawmakers seat complete, how will that affect the common man. RUBBER STAMP LEGISLATURE

it's when they're about to pass laws beneficial to the masses you hear of first reading, second reading, committee and all those bullshit. if they wanted to increase their allowances, since last year, they would have done it

Valkan:
One is the pikin NO SEX WAS INVOLVED.

2.TWO MATURED WOMEN ERM SORRY A MATURED MAN AND A WOMAN KISS

AND YOU WANT TO USE THIS TO JUSTIFY MOLESTATION AND ABUSE OF A YOUNG GIRL..

HONESTLY
I PITY YOUR CHILDREN

Oga those pictures up there, if the gender role was reversed would you still say this. would you wait for video of actual sex before judging the man. nonsense.

Kobojunkiee:
God declared that David was a man after His heart even before David was anointed King as a youth. That does not then imply that all that David did throughout the rest of his life was pleasing in the sight of God, nor does it mean that God changed his mind about sexual sins as defined in the old Covenant.

God never made special laws for Kings so be sure that David will be judged by the Old Covenant, just as everyone of His people before and after Him. That God did not complain or send a prophet to him for every sin he committed even as king does not imply that God changed His mind about sin.

As for concubines being against African culture, this is the first I have heard of that.

it would have been nice if you are clear with your points though. When you say sexual sin, I hope you're not referring to David committing any sin by having wives because he was not the only one that did that then. infact it was a common practice then. whether you are a king or commoner.
And if David had sinned by marrying wives don't you think he would have known just as he knew about the Uriah wife.

and yes concubine is a western culture which is frowned at in most African cultures. It doesn't mean people don't have them though.

felixzo1:
I am not God to judge. his ways are different from the ways of men. he fed the Israelites in the desert with man, but does not do same now. that does not mean he is not the same God

who told you God cannot feed people in the desert now? anyway let's leave that. Since you are not God to judge then you cannot also judge this OP as there is no evidence even in the Bible that he is acting wrongly by marrying the three wives. thanks

felixzo1:
legally married in Church or where. only church wedding is legal for a born again, if you are only married by customary law , you are not married, you can not marry more than 1 woman by court wedding. which form of legal wedding are you talking about

All the wives that David and Solomon married, were the wedding ceremony in the church? And I want you to answer this last one . Do you think David is going to hell fire considering he married many wives?

Kobojunkiee:
I believe God draws the line at concubines though

and yet the man that was after his heart had many of them. Did you read any part where it states that God was angry with any of those Kings because they had many concubines? The reason why concubines is wrong today is because it's against the African culture

Omooba77:
Is Sex Intimacy Critical to Married Christian Couple?

Most churches have this single and married seminars usually organised for intending couples. When you get there ask them.

Princewell2012:
Somebody should help out please, it is urgent.

The three wives are yours keep them. If you chase them away who do expect to get married to them. King David was a man after Gods heart and he had many wives and many girlfriends (concubines). Initially the Christian faith does not bother about wedding ceremony and how many wives you marry as long as the bride was not stolen or kidnapped. All these stuff started in the 17th or 18th century. Please enjoy your life you have not committed any sin. As long as they were duly married

jikins:
Oga clear version is out. Watched it in 1080p. And it wasn't all that interesting.

Scorpions revenge and this one, which is more interesting?
