As at now, it will be better for Moscow to thread lightly.. her main back up for non nuclear warfare is china. And Xi is also keeping everything he has should in case this whole proxy bruhaha comes up rushing. Ukraine, well through and with the US Military aid really diminished a little bit of Moscow's strength and does seems like it's about time they settle that first before stepping out for another major military operation.

What is the karat and weight of the whole thing for it to cost 23 million?

Una go just dey call money anyhow.

22k is about 182,000 naira there or so. If those coins are solid enough, it could weigh up to the 110grams. Plus the other one which will make sense for the whole thing to amount up to that quotation.. Even 11gram pendant alone of 18k at 143k runs into about 1.6m and that's just for a simple Jesus cross piece pendant

HausaIgboYoruba:
There’s an allegation that the NSA’s office has been involved in talks with bandits. An Islamic scholar said some officials from that office called a meeting in Kaduna and asked the scholars to tell people that the rise of Fulani banditry came from years of government neglect of Fulani communities. He himself is a Fulani man and sympathetic to them being killed.
Although, he's been in the forefront to see that Catholic school children kidnapped in Papiri, Agwara in Niger State are released because he just held a meeting with school management in Kontagora, Niger State. At least he is better than the Governor, Bago who is busy arguing with the school on the numbers of school children kidnapped

While it makes sense to be wary of them, and your points are valid, but it will be detrimental to their own cause too as well to go against the state. In a country like Nigeria where almost all this guys are looting and not paying taxes, it will be easy for the the state, and a reasonable actionable figure head to start going after their assets and whatever means they are funding their agendas. Tax evasion alone is enough for arraignment, discharge them of that and bring in their mismanagement of funds and other nefarious activities they are involved in. All Nigeria elites have something under their rug, unless you don't care to look for it.. Too many free funds moving about and too many hoarders who uses this said funds to perpetuate acts of terror against the state and their own region in the name of making it seems it's the Nigeria government that is not looking after their interest in those regions.. Fulani this or that does not matter, the truth is northern elites knows their youth, the whole rankede system has to be brought to light and northern youths needs massive reorientation programs. Not for this lost once consistently constituting nuisances though but for future ones yet unborn or still growing.. that's the core to the problem.. Give their women liberty, freedom to trade and systemically reduce dependency on their patriarchal systems. If that's not address, changing appointments won't do much, either you end up killing more people which will only aggravate the same issue or you are a bit lenient which on it's own too will only give room and more confidence to the perpetrators. So in a way, I do agree with you being wary. But it is a problem with a solution not without one

You can't deal with a problem like insecurities with just rehabilitation program alone. They have to know there is consequences as well. The rehabilitation program is too much of a lenient incentive.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
And what will now happen to the rehabilitation programme for repentant terrorists and the huge amounts budgeted for security?

Be like say you no love your life.

You can't deal with a problem like insecurities with just rehabilitation program alone. They have to know there is consequences as well. The rehabilitation program is too much of a lenient incentive. They have to know either you drop your weapon or you die.

Misterone:
Your answer to his question is 💯% accurate. Most people think fighting terrorists is like fighting a conventional warfare! No! It's not! Most of these terrorists are normal citizens by day and terrorists when they are activated. Passing by them, you will not know. Some dress in rags and act as if they're looking for scrap (iron damage), whereas they're with an AK-47 in their cart. How can the army fight such people with multiple missile lunchers?

I deh tell you.. As far as I'm concerned now though.. this is when all those ICT grads have their opportunity to display their skills.. develop a killer software or algorithm that can listen to and trace calls to specific cell towers and monitor it's IO.. then assist make a killing selling it to the Nigeria Govt while still assisting the country at the same time

Dbegining:
Very irresponsible for the FG to not lift a Former President in a direct situation like that.


Shameful really.

This misleading headlines even mentioned that FG facilitated the move for Abidjan.. it just hits in the guts sometimes seeing how critizing Nigerians can be a lot of the times. Will cote'd voir just singularly out of sympathy come to Jonathan's aid. The directives obviously came from Aso Rock to make sure the quickest and fastest possible way to get him out of that country happened.. and isn't that what counts.. ?

That nonsense doesn't exist in the east.. unless you are some political figure or some sort travel risk individual.. but say normal person.. enroute you are very very safe.. even while there, you are still safe.. just no do pass yourself. Whatever you are going there to do. Face your business

Makavelli001:
Yes. Just as u said that bobo knows that the north cannot do it alone without the south....don't you think that bobo is shooting him self on the leg by fighting the igbos?
Just take a look at olu's economy polices in Lagos and the sentencing of NK while Gumi & Bandits walks free.
Don't u think it will jeopardize the unity of the south?

The sentencing of Nnamdi Kanu can be charged to the his advisors who for one convinced him to handle a case like that as a civil case.. Even though, NK will never serve life in imprisonment that's for sure, but about when he will be free, I can't really say. As uniting the south goes, the south as a whole is bigger than one man even bigger than Bobo himself, he is just one man inside the south project. We do know for a fact the south will unite, it's a given. It's blessed enough, well educated enough, well industrialized enough and most importantly well exposed enough. Personally if I am to say, it feels wrong pronouncing that sentence of life imprisonment, because East no small.. but as a president, its a sensitive and a thin line to walk on. NK is a very influential individual surely but he had also openly made himself an enemy of state. To me, I will say this just my opinion, a political solution is needed to free him, not court rulings

OneCandleAway:
To me they don't feed the nation because we buy the food crops. It's not like crude oil that is sold and shared to each state. Or vat that is shared round. If the government was buying their food crops from them then selling at subsidized rate to the rest of us that's when you can say they feed the nation. Some of them are into farming as occupation just as some of us down south are into other businesses.

Of course the south buys it.. it's not for free we all know that. Even they know that but production is also a leverage and the ones above them play the card.. If you could remember when the present administration said all state should be taxing and generating funds for themselves, what did the north say, the policy is to stiffing the north because they understand that without the south they can't function and they need to tell their people that they are in control of Nigeria so they can be loyal to that idea.. An average northerner doesn't really care about Nigeria, it's northerner ideology first.. Do you see them dragging businesses with the south, nah. They don't care about all that.. Northern ideology overshadows all that because the only way their elite can control their people and keep them in play in Nigeria is to let them understand you will be well taken care of within the system that exist, which is a concrete lie because we see.. but they have to hold them under as a leverage that should in case the South in this case wants to leave them in the ditch, which heaven forgives me out of their own ignorance have created for themselves, that they are willing to drag the country back.. South South, South East and South in general what's one thing they are agitating for, better infrastructure, better school, better trade routes, ease access to international market and a better living.. you see north agitate for ham? Nope. Because the Rankadedes make them understand all those things are vanity and what matters most is the preservation of your identity as a northerner and they do their best to back it up with religious beliefs.. As Southerners, it is best to understand who the real obstruction and obstacle is.. until southerners do, they are always going to be distracted with all this distractions the north are creating.. since OBJ their own person left office it's been turmoil for Nigeria. From Boko Haram bombings, to kidnapping, to Banditry, to all sort of atrocities, including christians killings even on Christmas .. southerners are peaceful, but they are not that peaceful, they just like peace. And they need to understand what the north is, and what those Babas are up to. The only regret a southerner faces is they keep letting it slid. If they show Nigeria as country in Al-Jazeera, you will be ashamed. But it's the north they are showing not Nigeria. And it's disgusting and disgraceful

OneCandleAway:
But why are the north like this. Theybarely contribution anything to the national purse. Even theirineral resources is being stolen while the south generated all the income. At least give us peace let's be working since we are sharing the money with you. Seems the Fulani want to keep lording over the hausa hence they deprive their kids of education and development. With all the rich people there, they cant even come up with a foundation to educate the children.

Now you are getting the gist.. it's not like their aren't educated Northerners or enlightened ones, but the thing is the majority isn't on that path.. self freedom for self actualization or dream is not that permitted or let me say it's not well spread as it should be.. in terms of contribution, they do contribute, feeding the nation for one, but the reality is how many of them benefits from this, statically just a few people at the top of their social ladder, compared to the south where every family and I mean at least one person in every family steps out to make a better living for his or herself and the family.. in the north it's not like that.. it's one huge family, even your own mother isn't that much of a priority compared to the rankadedes above you. So it's easy to control, a family, clan, sect, community and In a way an entire people. There's no justifications for what they are trying to impose on the south but in a way they don't care about all that.. na just go and that's it.. they practice the ideology in plain sight.. go to anywhere called Sabo. Observe deeply the mechanism that makes it function then you understand the north a little bit and what motivates them and what doesn't

Make Dem Ban abeg.. lots of people need to make money.. even the US prohibition failed.. but abeg make Dem do ham . Even if it's just 2 years .. people need cashout..

OneCandleAway:
He wants the northern leaders to command their people to vote for him, that's why he is lenient with them. If course there's no southerner that doesn't know how to treat the Bleep up of these northern terrorists. But the greed for second term is what makes the president spinless. And now the north knows that if he wins, he will be vindictive and won't care anymore and deal with them. I don't understand maybe they are trying to cashout as large as they can with these new kidnapping surge.

Tinubu is a puppet master first that's one thing you have to understand.. in a country like Nigeria, he understands surely has shown the north that their autonomous voice over how Nigeria should be governed is dead.. hence the consequences.. the north has access to their people but he also knows the north can't and will never do it alone without the south. So in a way, the ones that are constituting this nuisances in the name and aim to disturb and distabilize the Nigeria spirit will soon meet their end come the next phase of nation shaping. The north is scared right now actually, but the south too as it is, it's very vulnerable to their tactics.. If the present VP isn't taken it serious that your own people are disturbing the country, shouldn't that say something? .. in a way Tinubu and the south are in a bind, the north wants someone like Obj who obliges with them and not try to dictate terms to them. Tinubu on the other hand dictate terms to them, so it's boils down to the real idea how do you fight back.m scatter everything for everyone

From free Nnamdi kanu Noise.. to now ICC. The only person that made sense was that guy above who said , he should just chill and look for political solution because as it is, he is done for.. But say 20-30 years won't pass over him first, he should rule that one out.
As for people getting too emotional about this issue of his, they keep reminding you the world and not just Nigeria doesn't operate on emotional rollercoaster. You need facts, heavy back ups, access to resources, control of resources, and a huge number of dedicated loyalist and not sympathizers, all Kanu had and still has a huge sympathizers even in the east.. and a small amount of loyalist. As he is, for now make he relax for the next 20-30years.. only solution in sight, I will say again it's what that guy said earlier .. find a political solution

Caspertech:
Good morning y'all, I have been watching and observing the constant defamation of a certain individual on this forum who has created multiple accounts to post me claiming I scammed him yet no single evidence to back up his claim has been made, he has even gone ahead to post my pictures and details with an everyday quoting, this particular individual the last account I could recall his current active on is DSS76, he has multiple accounts, this individual goes by the name Afeez Dawudu Babatunde, an individual I once worked for back 2021 who I developed a streaming live tv app for, which didn't turn out good between him and google due to constant reports and suspensions, this also affected me because mine was affiliated as the sole service provider which led to me losing my google developer console account and an app worth over ₦10,000,000 naira in valuation, I nearly lost my mind due to the pain I went through, it was like a whole life labour gone because of a constant mistake made by this said individual, the whole transactions that occurred between me and Mr Afeez Dawudu Babatunde were service rendered transactions with all receipts still handy and ready to be submitted to the Nigerian police very soon, all communications and discussion are still very much intact on my backup email I bless God I never deleted any, this same individual has gone to report all my domains and hosting to my service provider that made one of my website to be taken down, after consideration I decided to still let go and activate the second one which he still went again to report but I stood my ground and said enough is enough, after much deliberations and documents signing my service was pardoned, which then triggered him to come to nairaland to start posting my details, I have been advised to take legal actions but I have thought how would I sue such a person it's a waste of time the best is to report to the police, I plan to report to DCP Oliver ezirim who happens to be someone I am close too very well, enough is enough, the painful part is that nairaland has become a forum where one can just come online and post anything without it properly moderated and questions asked for verification.

It's high time the Seun looks into this matter before I proceed with the police report.

I don't think this has anything to do with the site. If you are being defamed and know for a fact that you operated within the white lane of the transaction.. Take up the action to defend your brand. I don't think public opinion is required. Because he also obviously feels you did him wrong and the only forward way is to report to appropriate dispute body that will handle it. Nairaland is a platform not a court

bolaayenimo:
What's going through the mind of President Bola Tinubu here?

It's more like.. I be Jagaban, should I dismiss this meeting and deal with these people on my terms and just kill as many people as possible.. but I have to be diplomatic.. and work through all this bureaucracy.. but come to think of it, I should have seen this coming. I slack, where did I slack.. I just dealt with coup issue and now this people again.. all na still money, and I don't wish to give them nothing but I have to, running a country is not like running my own affairs.. but I am a politician, this too shall pass but I have to deal with this, even as minimal as I can.. 2027 of this nonsense again, but my business isn't done yet.. still have deals to secure. And there's this Nnamdi kanu issue guy starting underground.. I think I understand abacha everyday I seat through meetings and briefings.. even Trump of all people, why isn't he minding his business. And that Chinese guy, I don't trust him one bit, but he has money and Nigeria needs money plus me too I also need to secure my place.. I'm almost done with this stress.. you guys will finish your briefings.. I will see what I can do and what will be done

Adewale1603:
so you think it's the first lady that will be cooking for Tinubu. Upon all the staffs and workers in the presidential villa

Occasionally she does

Idan

I don't understand why people are taking Trump so serious.. if a serious US president had made that particular statement, well not even that statement but show concern over the killings of christians in the northern part of Nigeria, it will be very well appreciate to at least see what could be done about it.. but Trump is just a noise maker, he can't do shit and wouldn't even know how to coordinate a successful battle, let alone an operation like stamping out insurgency in that part of the country.. if he wants assist the people who are handling the issue.. he can, but he should shut his mouth up about invading Nigeria.. that's just as stupid as saying he wants to invade Canada like he said few months ago

pocohantas:
It is embarrassing a lawmaker is entangled in this mess. Yet he has been made the hero of polygamy. A man that cannot keep his wives without abuse of power, intimidation and lies. Every wife that tries to leave, he accuses her of drug abuse and intimidates her into returning. Of all the issues in Nigeria, he went on air to be discussing how he marries plenty wives. Is it by force to marry? He should leave this small girl alone and marry another one.

You are still a young girl, Gina and the deed has been done. Your mum and siblings have to stand by you through the storm. I will advise you move in silence henceforth. They do not want to see their wives feed or survive outside them. So focus on your craft that gives you money and leave posting of houses/private jet. You will be fine.

Aunty marriage counselor.. shut the hell up

Any man who is intolerable of drugs or some kind of attitude will see why this man was saying in the previous video that she Regina talks to her like he is not her father while the man was heard saying but I am your husband. That statement is a clear indication that she is doing something he can't tolerate and the girl doesn't want to be controlled about her lifestyle. It's a little bit clear that it's a matter of lifestyle now.. any other thing, is just a catalyst to other issues. The major point is, the man wanted a trophy wife that will act like a queen, but acting a queen and being a queen are two different things.. Last last, royalty is inbuilt, you can not buy it

immortalcrown:
Telling us why the marriage ended is more important than telling us the cost of the wedding. The cost of the wedding is never the reason the marriage ended.

Wedding reception quality does not determine marriage quality.

The poorest marriage can begin with the richest wedding reception, while the richest marriage can begin with the poorest wedding reception.

A poor marriage can begin with a poor wedding reception, and a rich marriage can as well begin with a rich wedding reception.

I keep using "Wedding reception", not just "wedding", because what is expensive is not wedding itself but the reception that follows the wedding.

Wedding reception is about public entertainment, not about the state of the marriage. Entertain the public well if you can afford to. But, don't use the entertainment to predict your marriage.

With all due respect.. please shut the hell up

Generally I find this sort of things absurd to respond to but as they say, things happens a lot in this life that doesn't even make sense.

As for the you OP, if it was the wife that died under the same circumference and your brother is trying to mourn her, will you not call him a bastard?

What is the point of all this again.. Nigeria is a country as a whole now.. History should be celebrated but with purposeful and positive reinforcement for future generations.

While people or factions can have their differences in opinion about the outcome of this whole issue, it is without a doubt and glaring and as far as history recalled it, a General started what he couldn't finish. He has never been the only none in history. And even extensively when people offered to help at least achieve that aim of his, his camps position was indecisive. They wanted it all to themselves because they see themselves as being able to. As gallant as it may be, gallantry alone is not a personalized attribute. We are all gallant in our own ways. And there's more to winning a war, not a battle but a war than gallantry...

Even with restrain in my own opinion and particularly saying it is a faulty thing to hold on to one self esteem but still it displayed how shrewd the agenda for Biafra was. Which was simply to step on everything and everyone. And to prove they can do it all by themselves. A man with no friend is a ghost and same goes for all his ideas, strength and courage no matter how grand.

And as far as history will remember it, if and when the day does comes that Nigeria as a nation stands in absolute unity and shines more brighter than it is at its current trajectory, General Gowon will always be the one to be revered, against the odd as the leader who held onto the founding fathers dream in keeping Nigeria as a whole irregardless of the insurmountable task dawned on him at that early age of his life. Keeping a country together at all cost. Whatever it takes because of future benefits for generations to come. That is the ultimate sacrifice. Even though admittedly It's hard to see now as living Nigerian, but that touch remains and still shines brighter as an indisolvable and an indivisible sovereign state. But that is the essence of it. Our generation might not unite but surely we have produced a united generation, a generation with the Nigerian identity. And they are flying and shining. How soon will that prophesy come to pass now that the sacrifices and labors of our heroes past hasn't been in vain.

As for now, let the Biafra Sun set in peace and let the Nigeria Sun keep on rising in strength. A war was fought to keep us together as a nation. It's that simple. And as for today, I can say that it is not the whole eastern state that are still clamouring for secession but rather, only the rebels living in those states.

Highly unprofessional and uncalled for
Osi should take hold of his emotions, smart opponents can get him easily worked up and sent off by provoking him at the slightest chance

His upbringing and area he grew up contributed to this barbaric behaviour and that pic is a testament to this

yes he's passionate about his job but he went too far this time and i think he also deliberately kicked the other player before grabbing this guy by the neck, that was a red card offence and the FA should also fine him and Gala

So he should and fold his arm when someone is clearly tackling without remorse which can easily lead to a career ending scenario.. do u know how many footballers injury have killed off? A whole bread winner for that matter and a top striker at that.. my brother if it's you you go vex.. there are many people who wouldn't greet someone for trying to hijack their business client let alone someone who wants to ruin your career.. na God and money keep messi, there were lots of players who actually wanted to break his leg..

In long term Ishmaelite will loose this war.. and they Israelites can take the current bashing.. I think it's clear now.

You know i am amazed at likes of gloriousgbola n co. citing fire where their is no smoke

let judge Dangote base on existing businesses.. how are the workers treated, are worker in dangote cement texting SOS to labour union every month end

The whole essence of unionism is to mitigate unjust treatment, so where there is none of what use is union ... union go just dey chop free dues

on every truck i heard Nupeng collect 100k or is it 1m ... that is why they are fighting Dangote

Official report is what you know. With so many leaks it's way more than that. If we want to continue being the powerhouse in Africa, I know for a fact this is not the right way.

At least let the ground solid properly, but not this time that it's still a very cut throat atmosphere where other African countries, arabs, and them Europeans Plants are hell bent and wanting to take down a huge entity like DG.. Nupeng idealism and initiative was for protection based on projections, but this is just nonsense. Dangote group has always been a very reasonable entity with their work force. And they do listen..but with this whole union thing.. it is a definite loose win situation. Even though in hindsight this is good at least they are showing their card and will be a lesson and case study for other industry. But what about years from now.. unnecessary strikes and demands.. Watch out...union is coming back again... What they did to the education sector will be a child play.. and they will keep pushing, but at whose detrimental effect.. and at the end of the day dragging us back or in a way not allowing us to move seamlessly. If they win this battle... Nigerians should just start holding their breath under the mud.. because it will get ugly.. as in really really ugly at that.

chidiokay:
Bro Unionism in real $ense is very good But Naija factor is what put Unionism in bad light here ... atenu ! this unions are just after money, to the point they even extort members

they lack objectivity and resolute

That's the point.. imagine you are in dangote shoe too.. people just wanting to exploit you all in the name of union.. they just seem to be neglecting a very paramount aspect of economic growth.. and to extend it further, capitalism.. if it is for prospective purpose that can be understood. But Dangote pays, and they look after their employees very well in terms of their packages.. it make no sense trying to unionize when they organization itself on it's own takes very good care of it's people.. majority of responsible corporate heads will act the same way if the shoe falls on their laps..

Unionism even though has its benefits but it's more glaring that it's like a club whose main intentions has always been a way to wield unnecessary power over an organization that treats you right to start with. It is a shallow move. And any reasonable organic corporate body warns against it... But either way, they will either get a deal with this or perish. Unionism is a big no no in a growing economy... And I think this will even be a good incentive for employers to have a good clause before recruitment in their contract or company policy.. Joining union.. nonsense..like they are not already gainfully employed already.. Dem belle full.. Dem deh find beku beku up and down
