this doesn't seem like a "peaceful protest" again....please let's be guided so as to channel our plead via d right channel

were the SARS killing the people peacefully?
Although I understand what you're trying to pass but the #Endsars has been on peacefully for long, what has the govt done about it?

Jones4190:
Because there is not criminals in the north, the north believe in hardworking, they don't engaged in criminal act

my brother so Boko haram is not a criminal act?

if only I knew when the protest was about to begin in Benin, I would have joined them. But at upper sokponba in Benin, the protest had turned to a war zone as there is currently exchange of shots from both parties.

You sure say no be Coro be that so

Niger Delta comprises 9 states: Akwa ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Rivers, & Abia, Imo, Ondo.

You can see the first six states are d South South while d others are in Southeast & South West. However, they are all classified as Niger Delta bc they are oil producing states. In fact, d 9 oil producing states in the federation.

So, it will be very wrong for anyone to want to portray anything dat has to do with the 9 states outside its name (ND). It is only when an event does not warrant the inclusion of the other 3 (Abia, Imo, & Ondo) that they regard dat gathering/Forum as SS. Example if the forum is strictly geopolitical.

Also, tribalism is not really common in ND bc inter marriage amongst its divers ethnicity have established a solid cultural diffusion. Hence, you see a child whose father is Urhobo (Delta) while the mother Andoni (Rivers). Many of us Niger Deltans are having such background including myself; even down to my great grand parents. As it stands, i am related to almost all 9 ND states by blood lineage.

WE ARE NOT INFERIOR & WE WILL NEVER BE INFERIOR TO ANYBODY. As a people, we have embraced our diversity in tongues & culture in good fate thus we depict our solidarity by calling ourselves by our very own surname NIGER-DELTA.

What you have said is the absolute truth. Another thing you probably forgot is that pigin English originated from the Niger delta as a way of reducing the tribalism in the region. Since many of them spoke different dialect. Anyone in doubt that pidgin originated from ND should quotee me and I will school you. Pidgin entered Lagos in the early 90's but was already a lingua franca in ND in the 60's

GamalNasser:
My point exactly , they should never have allowed that corpse out of their purview

I seriously doubt the corpse was ever at their purview

GamalNasser:
That casket that was smeared with blood ? How could the NCDC allow that casket to be left behind without burning it
.I am very tired of the anyhowness of this country

Wetin concern NCDC for thia matter? You think the NCDC was involved in his burial?

This is the reason the corpse should not be given to individuals.

I am open to more informations and ready to know everybody ideas...this is the foundation of this movement and every idea and critism is highly welcomed.

I've used the send email function to send you the message. I don't know if you got it.

The ancient man did not last longer as well. The ancient man is closer to animals, how many animals have you seen thrusting for hours

wengerboy:
Hi guys,
I can't believe what I just saw in my wife phone now both her whatsapp and facebook chat, pictures and voice recorder messages.

I want to conduct a DNA test on our 10yrs and only daughter to confirm if she is truly mine.

Women are deadly...Bros make una fear WOMEN.

The price should be 60- 80k depending on the hospital. 6years ago UBTH agreed for 50k but I don't know of today. The amount is too big my brother.

samuelivingston:
There are lot more sensible people in this nation than I foolishly taught.

Promoting a party and a political figure head to champion the same is not arcane to putting the cart before the ox.

It is the ox that should drive the cart not the other way around.

This is the reason why sowore is still under detention and dss surveillance today.

You cannot champion a party and a political revolution without first championing a political cause.

Mahatma Gandhi had a cause and a strong base among his own people who were friendly to his cause.

People have praised him for his ability to raise millions of men in every single protest.

But Mahatma Gandhi was a teacher.


A revolution begins with a teaching.

And a good teacher teaching all the locals the doctrine.

You build personal and political power so naturally as the doctrine spreads around the populace.

Mandela tried the anger and rage style towed by sowore.

What did he get? 27 years imprisonment.

Then he became a teacher of the people. A voice of the people and their inspiration from the prison grounds.

He became one of the greatest political leaders who ever lived in history.

Hitler first tried taking over Germany in one night of anger and rage like sowore.

He ended up in prison.


In prison, he became a teacher and wrote about his cause in the book Mein Kampf (My Pain? )

Once he was released, he changed strategy and turned the Nazi party into political schools of thought spread around the whole land with himself as the leader of these schools and political movement.

In fact, at a point literal uniforms and books were being produced.

And you know the end of the story!


Same story for Stalin, Mussolini and Mao Tse Tsung, Deng Xiaoping and currently President Xi Jiping.


You see, knowledge is power!

What any true revolutionary will give his or her people is KNOWLEDGE.

Knowledge is key to everything.

A true leader will lead people in knowledge and with knowledge.

When you give people knowledge you give them power.

Any other idea of power is a myth.

All power begins with knowledge.

In the 21st century people want thought leaders who show them how to think and what to think on their own.

How to make their own lives better.

And it is from this very simple idea that the politics of the future will be built.

Previously people wanted leaders who would teach them what to do.

Today people want leaders who would teach them what to think and what to feel.

You must begin your political revolution with a strong cause for driving a strong movement with a very strong political base.

This is my humble opinion

You are very much on point

Tayoalaaye75:
It is still a raw idea....I am very opened to incoming ideas.

Note: I am not a politician but an engineer with a little experience in military science. I am ready to learn more but Nigeria can never continue like this.....You can PM me your email.

Your idea is very good. I also understand you are not a politician. What I want to explain is quite lengthy. You will exercise patient to read it. When I'm less busy today I will try my best to write it. But let me give a summary of what I will explain:

Your idea is good but saying you want to include Sowore is basing your assumption on the premise that "a politician" is the problem in Nigeria. So when you change the politician to Sowore or whoever you choose the problems will be solved is wrong. Politicians are not our problem but the structure This is the first thing I will explain in what I will write to you later.

Some politicians were actually genuine activist but they failed and any activist will always fail. Why you may ask. I will explain this in my write up.

If for example you succeed in putting Sowore there before you realise this you Will loose the people's support and factions and various problems will creep into wherever you're about starting. I will explain this too


The problem in Nigeria is the structure. This is also part of what I will explain later. But the bigger problem is that an organization owns Nigeria. The organization is responsible for creating the structure and ensuring that it is not changed. This is where I will explain that neither the tribes in Nigeria are responsible for the problem but are victim of it.

Whatever you're doing should be aimed at changing the structure not individual. Because even Jesus Christ cannot change Nigeria with this structure.

What is actually wrong with the structures and how and why those that owns Nigeria designed it so.

The constitution is the structure. Those that can change it is the legislatures.

You need a goal. E.g: Restructuring, confederation, disintegration, true federalism etc.

And more.

There is already a flaw in what you're proposing. I wonder why no one figured it out. I can't send you my email openly in this thread. Message me directly to get it

My battery has run down, I would have explained the flaw I'm talking about. Once I see power to charge the phone I will modify this post.

They are not taking this to front page because this goes against what the government is preaching now. The reality is that we are still coming back to this after staying indoor for as long as possible and the virus remains. I have been saying this since the lock down started.

From this table Ghana is really trying.

That is why I asked these questions in this my thread. https://www.nairaland.com/5787619/covid-19-some-very-disturbing

The no 5 question is If after shutting the world economy for 3 months and the virus is not eradicated, what next? Are we not going to leave our houses to look for food? when we know how poor our country is coupled with the useless set of leaders. We should forget the lockdown let everyone go out and work. Those that will die of the sickness should be buried While the rest continue living.

It can cure kovik one-nine when you mix it with kai-kai

West1side:
When there was no pandemic was your government able to solve all your problems n why do you think they will be ae to solve all those rising from the effect of COVID 19?

What palliative as the world bank with the numbers given to those living under the $1 per day.

How does giving palliative translate to solving all our problems? Or you think anyone is happy sitting at home? I have said it often: if government cannot provide palliative then we should forget the bullshit of sit at home and social distancing. Let people go about their normal job and if we get infected, those that will die should be buried while those that survive the pandemic should continue living. I cannot sit at home and watch my kids die of hunger.

smatt1711:
Africans!!!, God pleas help us ,the fact that they are sent by chinese company is the more reason to politely turn down the offer, most foreign companies are evil tool serving the purpose of there parent company,......how well do you know this companies ?, the world is yet to understand the true nature of this virus and the role of china in it, who knows if they came with a version that will be more potent on African man seeing that the original version is too light for Us.......God help us

You see from the look of things they might have even infected Nigerians with the more potent one you talked about. Why did you think they singled out Nigerians in China to quarantine them for 24 days instead of the normal 14days?

Anybody who believes this nonsense is an idiot

Festysnow:
The answer to question 2, it wasn't the Federal Government that brought the Chinese Doctors.

So who did? Who opened the airport for them to fly in? Or is the airport no longer restricting international flight?

These questions in public domain have been frequently dodged by government officials when asked, they are:

1. Why are the European and American countries evacuating their citizens from Nigeria even though our health facility has not been overstretched and the rate of virus spread here is low compared to theirs?

2. Why is the government so much interested in bringing the Chinese health practitioners even though the NMA and majority of Nigerians are against it?

3. Why did the Chinese government single out only Nigerians and started quarantining them in China?

4. Is there something that Nigerians don't know that the government and other country's government know?

5. What is the criteria for identifying the vulnerable Nigerians? And why are they all in the Northern part of the country?

6. If after shutting the world economy for 3 months and the virus is not eradicated what next? Are we not going to leave our houses to look for food?

the no 4 question is important because this government has proven times without number to be a liar or a lying government.

sapientia:
If I talk now, they will say am a wailer.

Hehehehehe..

Buhari is now synonymous with shady programmes.

Everyone is complaining.

Zamfara traditional rulers said vulnerable people were 1.3 million while South East traditional rulers said its less than 400k

12 billion for feeding monthly

Abegi... Am tired already

The truth is that if you really want to feed the poor in Nigeria, you might need more than that amount. The question is "are they really feeding any poor"?

blowjohn:
Pdiddy should keep quiet or explain to the world how biggie got killed

Guy forget Biggie, if he hadn't died then, he would have still died before today.

yomightgold:
We all know that government of Nigeria does not have such huge amount of money to cater for Nigerians in providing food and other necessary things in this Covid19 period. We also know that most money donated towards covid19 pandemic by wealthy Nigerians to the government of Nigeria is not enough to do the rolling out of money to all Nigerians.

Hunger is another pandemic killing more Nigerians than covid19 and if nothing is done about it, Nigeria may have highest number of death to covid19 pandemic than any country. Robbery, Hijacking and killing will be the order of the day sooner or later if nothing is done.

I just realized staying home with children is more expensive. They eat 8 times a day and we have to pay for those things they eat.

This is what I think Government of Nigeria should do with immediate effect. Order all Nigeria banks to give a non-collateral Covid19 loan to every Nigerians who actually need it and the repayment will be as low as 5% monthly (Max of 20 months) and also depending on the repayment agreement signed.

Government should also help the bank in a way to make sure people pay back within speculated time.

This type of loan will be effective and reachable to all Nigerians regardless of status and position.

Another problem is price regulation. Governemnt should please help to stabilize the price of goods and services now. Garri that was N350 is now N900 and same goes to every other products. Increment of price of good in this period is more deadly than covid19 itself. I think the price of everything now should be reduce as the price of fuel has also reduced.

If you think otherwise, please place your comment. This may help our government in making decision towards helping Nigerians in this Pandemic period.

I have no problem with what you wrote except the part where you said government should help stabilize price. In a free economy price is determined by market forces. That is the forces of demand and supply. In this case, since demand is high, the price will increase. What government should have done to prevent this before now that they didn't do is to have establish a marketing board in every LGA in the country. The advantages of this is so numerous I can't start typing it. Anybody can google it to know the benefit.

Raysleek:
Lets say 3g can accommodate 10000 devices . Using the same parameters, 5 G can power 3 million devices. The gap goes to show that 5g is extremely powerful. Such waves could really cause you health problems. It takes at least 7- 10 years to research the long term effects. The question is , has this research been done.

Oga stop saying nonsense. It will take you 7-10 years to research its effects. How long did it take you to research that such waves could cause health problems? What kind of health problems did you find?

With all due respect Tony Momoh is an idiot. The reason people voted for buhari was for him to lead from the front since he is an ex general

No now! Pastor Chris fall hand for this one. To think such a person holds a Phd . smh

edo3:
Whenever i see bubu engaging the young officers in a pep talk,, i wonder what he normally tells dem cos u would see everybody laughing..

Who even dash am general sef?? Reason why m mammam ghaddafi said if u are looking for ranks in the army,, just go Nigeria.. Meaning the way those boys were given themselves ranks those days ehn,, u would see a General at 32years old.. While ghaddafi remained a colonel thruout his career despite how he impacted his country positively.. Now everybody knows why bubu was overthrown by babangida...

My bro just to add to what you said Ghaddaffi impacted the whole of Africa. He started the AU. The man is on his own league

Actually its a shame that majority believe that nonsense 5g crap.

It is possible for Chadian soldiers to overrun Nigeria. The only place where they will know theyve met their match is when they get to Abuja. All the sophisticated weapons are used in guarding the presidency(both air force and land). If boko haram attempt's a suicide mission twice in aso rock, that will be the day we hear last of boko haram.
