Amaechi2023:
sorry for you if your reaction is based on how the news present itself.
soldiers are on military operations steady in zamfara, katsina and kaduna forests and it's not as though the news is not there but it's because you choose to ignore them.
if you refuse to see the truth, no one can show you..

Why bother replying the OP, he already told you his IQ is low. You expect him to see the truth?

Igbochief001:
Show us one charged to court or convicted ...just one

If you read the headline you would see where it states that 81 persons have been convicted. you can read through again. For those expecting the federal government to charge them to court, most herdsmen cases are usually state offences and will be tried by the state laws. That is the state where the offence is committed( I'm not a lawyer though).

It is people like the OP the DSS need to invite for questioning. This was how Boko Haram started. it is the education you're criticising that gave you a medium to pass this message.

The5DME:
even the adam and Eve story was plagrised. Majority of the Old testament was plagiarized. It's all fiction.

all the books written by Moses is questionable and there is a reason for this. it's because of his training. Moses was trained to be a pharaoh. And he passed the trainings excellently. But many don't know what the trainings involved.

Some other nonsense Moses said was that angels came down from above to have sex with humans and they started having children. Even Moses himself did not witness the so call Noah's ark.

wallay77:
Rip to dead...Rip to ur english..u murdered english bro

Baba after reading the headline even I myself, I gave up to ghost.



I'm even suspecting the headline was actually what killed the student

Monogamy:
But some have been receiving the money now...

Someone posted screenshot proofs of the payment he received from FG just days ago

Then the person is not from the second batch. No second batch has been paid, this government is just lying

motionarena:
Hi guys will like to know

Have you quit your job before because you where fed up and not necessarily because you found another place.

I am thinking of doing same would like to know from experience how did you cope before finding something else to do.

Yes I have. it's actually a long story but I later looked for a different job whose pay was less than the one I left but I had peace of mind.

After the long epistle they didn't tell us their own position even though we already Know it's going to be another bullshit

Resurrection212:
This night i open a Twitter account thinking peaple have sleep I tweeted about what is happening in Nigeria. The first person that commented called me terrorist the second person also called me a terrorist I just deactivated the account.

Only thought Nairaland is the only forum where people do call unknown person a terrorist I don't know its everywhere. Meanwhile the word of terrorist become popular during president Buhari contesting for a president in 2014 the same word became general use by Nigerians when Buhari proscribed ipob as a terrorist organization.

This is really bad for our society. Pdp started this nonsense then they are calling Buhari terrorist just to paint him bad before electorates .

PDP was right. Buhari is a terrorist. If you look back now you will see most of what PDP said during the period you're talking about is true.

The only reason Isa Pantami is a minister is because Buhari himself is a terrorist. So I will be surprised if Pantami is sacked today

Rosskiiku:
I agree, bro.

In fact I will explain this further in a way that will be quite jarring to us today.

SCENARIO 1:

Let us assume you are in the year 1750, long before colonialism.

You were born in Awka. You speak the Igbo language.

One day, you decide to travel with your wife to the west, ie Yoruba-speaking territory, say Ijebu-Ode, to settle, and maybe raise a family.

You learn the Yoruba language after a few years there. Then you have kids.

Since you had no concept of being ''an Igbo man'' (merely a man from Awka), you would happily give them the names used by people in that region, eg Olusegun, Afolabi, Adedoyin, etc.

They will be speaking the Yoruba language etc.

Guess what?

You have BECOME an Ijebu family.

What we would call today ''a Yoruba family.''

You and your kids can even be made chiefs and leaders, and elders there.

But COLONIALISM changed that.

It created what I call ''language-derived ethnic permanence''.

TODAY, if the same trip occurred, you would be regarded in Ijebu-Ode as ''that Igbo man who can speak Yoruba, but is not a Yoruba man''.

Your children would be called 'Omo Igbo' even if they speak Yoruba as fluently as anyone in Ijebu.

You see, under SCENARIO 1, the colonialists felt MOST UNCOMFORTABLE, because such social fluidity they saw as very dangerous for their occupation, as the 'Nigerians' could UNITE based on their underlying unity to drive them out.

So they created SCENARIO 2, ie ''language-derived ethnic permanence'', which stipulated that ONCE you 'hail from' Igbo-speaking territory, you remained an ''IGBO MAN'' for life, plus your entire succeeding generations, EVEN IF you migrate elsewhere in Nigeria.

This meant you could not be allowed to partake of major leadership roles in your 'Yoruba' abode, and would always be identified (and self identify) as ''Igbo'', and regarded as an 'outsider'.

Same applied, of course, to other 'ethnicities' across Nigeria.

Now of course this radically new way of seeing ourselves did not all happen overnight.

Language based ethnic permanence was legally enforced by the colonialists, and it entrenched itself in our society over several decades, to the point we are today, where we actually see it as the way it's always been.

NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.

It wasn't always...like this.

I am even surprised people are arguing with the OP on this issue. This was something I found out since 2008. It was even placed in the Edo state website then where they tried explaining why there were various languages in Edo state. We seriously need to wake up

what is condemnable should be condemned. If that guy had tried that with me, even though I'm a civilian, I will separate his head from his body. nonsense.

DFOmobolla:
I think op is mixing up some things here, for example there is limited mobility in precolonial times.
And mobility actually plays a lot in homogeneity. A yoruba man from Owo most definitely feels more intone with an Akure man than he does an edo person. But lack of adequate mobility( physical immobility, mental immobility, and spiritual immobility) actually plays a lot in their hesitancy towards homogeneity.

This same hesitancy toward unity plays out every where among blacks, will the op say blacks are not a different race to others?
The thing is the caucasians moved a little ahead of the times, when they discovered writing, and the importance of record keeping. Ideally the world as a whole is just moving into the homogeneous state of mind.

So next time op look at the world through the eye of an universal being and not through a colonised eye.

Oga please writing was discovered by black Africans. Nobody is disputing this. We read this way back in school. Please if you have any source that claim otherwise quote it here. Numbers started as a result of the trade between Egyptians (black Egyptians) and Sumerians (Arabs). Record keeping started in Egypt. There is nobody disputing these facts. These are common knowledge for those that studied history and library science

I've read the first page and I must say I'm really disappointed at the level of fallacious comments there. One fallacy that kept repeating itself from various NLers is that the west, the east or the north created the Midwest. This is absolutely bullshit and I encourage you all to read your history so you are grounded properly

When you understand how and why the Midwest was formed. it would give you a direction to where their alliance lie

It's very unfortunate that the cabals always ensure two unfortunate candidates always emerge from political parties primary. Truth be told, Atiku could have performed better than Buhari. Atiku is an enlighten man and knows was up. He's not a fanatic, we can manage him. The larger population are not learned and they always make wrong voting decisions.

don't be deceived, enlightenment is not the case here. Buhari was also said to be enlightened until he became president. Buhari = Atiku. That you believed Atiku would have been better shows you are not yet wise, you are being swayed by their propaganda. People don't just change overnight. That is the case with Buhari, we warned them the man was an idiot whose deputy Tunde Idiagbon was in charge during his time as military head but people refuse to listen. All the credit people gave to his administration was actually that of Tunde Idiagbon. Buhari was a figure head then. Today it's the same, the cabals are in control. The same nonsense they were telling you about Atiku was what they said about Buhari then until the mistake was made. As for me Buhari did not disappoint me. I know him very well because I experienced his previous military regime. infact I would have been surprised if he had performed differently. As for Atiku, the man had been the head of customs, been a vice President and also been in the oil sector what was his performance there that makes you think he will perform better. a leopard does not change it's color. During his time in customs, there was serious nepotism there. you can investigate this. If you think when he became president these trait would disappear then you are not wise. Another thing is that Atiku is too desperate for the seat of president. I believe you saw the same desperation in Buhari. How did it turn out when he eventually came in. Please we should be grateful the Fulanis have finished their term so that a southerner can come in. I'm quite sure no southerner would perform badly as Buhari.

He wasn't properly advised. There is already too many filling station in Benin

Your points are valid. Pdp really messed up and a lot them became arrogant and its repeating its self now in apc members in power. Though the hate towards Igbos was also a driving force in 2015 elections. But my worries is how people still voted apc for a second tenure, it baffles me. Even Abuja people voted against apc due to their failure.

@ the bolded, No it should not baffle you. Actually I know it would have been a miracle for PDP to win that election. One of the reasons is that of all the candidates that contested, the candidate with the lowest number of fans was Atiku. Any other candidate (in PDP primary election)would have easily defeated Buhari. Atiku was not new to the Villa and there is nothing he has to offer. Most people just decided since the two parties decided to present useless candidates, they simply chose the lesser evil. which is allow Buhari finish his 4 years and hope after that a better candidate would emerge.

If you notice protest against the administration actually started immediately after the election. A sign that the people have no hope for the incoming government

Xkale1234:
Ruled the country for more than three decades

Supported by US and France hmmm


This shows that western nation's are hypocrite
Is bcox of the same issue the western nation's fought Gaddafi of libya

don't mind them. They only used that excuse as a cover-up to attack Gaddaffi. He was actually killed because of the plans he had for Africa. Any African leader that attempt to do what Gaddaffi did will also be killed.

thebosstrevor1:
This is the dumbest statement ever on nairaland.

So you think 1 man will have access to government database because he brought a NIN.

NIN is a government project not PATAMI's project.

Actually you're the one that sounds dumb. it's not easy for him to get hold of the database when he controls it. This has happened severally in different organisation. you said NIN is a government project, so who is representing government in this case? and if he requests to have access to the database would he be denied?

tunapawizzy:
please tell me...they want more money?

so you don't even know why they're about to go on strike. Na wa o.

They're saying the Tfare been charged by Uber/bolt is too cheap and should be reviewed upwards so that their own money can also increase.

brainhgeek:
Mr..minister sir, apart as you are trying to rebuild your reputation, there is a fraudulent insert on nimc website. You will be asked to pay #400+ to download an alleged 'improved NIN slip'. You will eventually pay over #500 with bank charges and then, the scam will unfold, nothing will be downloaded!
Is this an official scam?

I don't know about this NIMC website but most government sites don't work well on mobile versions. Have you tried the desktop version? I experienced something similar in the CAC site.

The Nigeria government is not ready for tourism. But why I'm happy is that everything is already crashing. we are approaching a time when our government will have no choice but to depend on other source of revenue e.g tax.

You cannot talk of tourism when we have insecurity everywhere. I'm in Edo state. Benin City precisely and I have to fast and pray anytime I'm about to travel to Auchi, just still within the state. due to the kidnappers at Uhunwonde

As a side note: I'm surprised Saudi Arabia is not within the first five

Why are Nairalanders this foolish. The OP just wrote something out and without any proof people had turned it tribal and start insulting one another. They even turned it tribal. AND THE SHOCKING THING IS THIS INFORMATION IS FALSE. Absolutely nonsense.

DaddyGoo:
NEVER ever brake if this happens.

Just "pilot" the car safely to slow speed then manoeuvre to park.

No brake till less than 55 km/h.

Na only you talk sensible thing here o. They're all saying don't match break as if it's an abomination to hit the break. The break can be applied once the car slows down. I also doubt if any driver driving the manual transmission will hit the break first when there is a tyre bust.

tunapawizzy:
i still maintain that it is an opportunity for a new entrant finding it difficult to enter the mix. u can choose to believe what u want to believe.

Do you know why they're about to go on strike?

tunapawizzy:
This is an opportunity for a competitor to cause disruption. Solve their grievances, before you know it, you are in business.

except you don't understand why they're going on strike. Which competitor would be happy to solve this. and even if you solve it, once the old ones resume you will be out of business faster than you can imagine.

shogotermies:
Why are you guys going on strike?
Can we get a summary pls?

Ah! baba in summary what they're saying is that the money Uber/bolt charges their customers is too cheap. They want the price increased so that their own pay can also increase. The drivers are stupid I swear.

@teamoneline, there was a place in your write up where you used the word "their apc and PDP". Pls what do you mean by that because what I know is PDP is a national party same with the apga you mentioned. But let's leave all these


Now I've been wondering if those that want Biafra are in the majority in SE. what is stopping the entire SE from electing someone that believes in Biafra as a governor in the entire 5 SE state. while the governors declare Biafra for you. It's that simple. The Nigerian government is banking on the fact that the SE can never have the support of all 5 governors. there must be 1 betrayal. but if you can have all 5 then Biafra is sure.

really sorry for your loss.But the things is people will still invest with them. severally on this forum, people have been warned about these agro investment programmes. Yet people like you still invested despite the repeated warnings. How are we sure others will heed to this warning?

once again, Sorry for your loss

Juliusmalema:
As far the name starts with " Oodua people's congress".....We are ok with it.


The main thing is that it is existing and not the people who make it up.

If you had read my initial post you quoted, you would have seen at no time did I question the name. But to say they went to Yoruba land and brought OPC to assist is a big lie. There is a difference between these two statements:

"he brought the soldiers to fight for him" and "he created some soldiers to fight for him".

Obalatule:
Hahahaha, Google the warri crisis bro, Don't be a dull person

You read about the crisis? and you're arguing with someone who experienced it
