And some people will say we should talk to these clowns respectfully.. Talk to thieves, dictators respectfully?

Even American politicians that don't steal so brazenly as Nigerian politicians, their citizens still insult them for poor performance, talk less of these rogues. Hisses...

XX01:
I didn't get it.

Sorry, I can't be more explicit on a public forum. Try figure it out yourself. Clue- read the post again, and ask, what would you do?

TheCongo2:
So sorry bro.

Your initial post ending with lol made me think you were mocking my post.

However, it took ages for me to understand your point .. lol

Good to know.. So you too actually laughed when you got my point... Lol..

TheCongo2:
Not my case. Someone asked me for assistance and I posted it on here. What is your issue?

I believe it's not your case Sir, just thinking aloud the thoughts of some people if they find themselves in this situation.

Pls any money changer here.. Need cad, have naira.. Drop your contact pls. Thanks..

TheCongo2:
I need help as this question was asked to me by a family friend. I told the person I will post it on Nairaland and get back to her.

This is the issue:

The lady had run away from an abusive marriage in Botswana. She went to South Africa along with her 3 kids (All under 10).

From South Africa she was able to travel to Canada leaving her 3 children in Johannesburg with her sister. She was granted refugee status in Canada.

Now, she is in the process of reuniting with her children. She has applied for permanent residence for them. In this process, she is being asked to have the children father, her husband, complete the form 5604 which is a declaration from non-accompanying parent.

Not only she isn't longer in touch with him(the children father) but also she believe that trying to relocate him is pointless given that he will never agree to sign such a form. He is bound to make her life miserable in any way he can.

Any suggestion?

Readers, what first came to your mind reading this gist? Lol...

Sue the army. This is so absurd. Gosh.

Sanchez01:
1. Soldiers truly shot at protesters and people were killed.
2. Soldiers carted away bodies that night (There are video evidences of soldiers freely walking into the midst of protesters to take away bodies).
3. We all watched how someone died during the live session of DJ Switch after being hit by a bullet.
4. Bullet shell casings were also found the next day.
5. Several were wounded and rushed to the hospital.
6. Sanwo-Olu initially said no one died but later came around to say only two persons were confirmed dead. (What killed them?).
7. The military denied ever been at the Lekki toll gate that night. As a matter of fact, they planted badges and ranks on the scene after they left.
8. If families aren't coming out, it is because they are either scared or not living close to the dead victims to even suspect they went to protest.
9. Several missing person cases took over Twitter 3 days after the Lekki onslaught and families were directed to several hospitals which took in these victims.

There is no denying that the Nigerian Army, through the soldiers, took away bodies that night, possible to reduce the outrage of the military killing unarmed protesters in modern age.

What's worse is that the event of that was premeditated and carefully executed. First, they took out cameras, then cut off power around the area to prevent people from recording their atrocities. We all saw videos of on and off the scene of that night.

Anyone with a straight head knows there is a massive cover-up attempt by the government. People were shot at; people were killed and soldiers took bodies away that night.

Sir, please are you a lawyer. Your analysis are so on point and full of intelligence. Salute.

Messi better leave the club right now.
All eyes will be on him- he has grown larger than the club. Way larger.

For any meaningful development to begin, the south needs to first separate from the north, because our value system is very different.

They can be easily swayed by ethnic and religious loyalty as seen in the recent protests.

My opinion is that the President believes he still has the support of the northern masses/elites behind him, so he has the ethnic card like a bed for him to sleep on. This explains why he is so calm- ethnic joker card(North vs South)
Secondly, the revenue/food for him is still flowing- crude oil.

Buhari will react immediately, if suddenly riots or protests starts in Kano(his support base/bed) and two if Niger Delta Militants bring their threats to pass to start attacking oil installations/facilities.

He will address the nation immediately if these scenario plays itself out, as his base/bed is broken, and food for energy/power for him is cut off.
Another less potent threat will be from National assembly leadership, which is impossible, as those ones souls are sold out to money.

That being said, would his speech or address bring back hundreds of wasted souls? I don't think so!

AntiBalaka:
Criminality is a human endeavour. What we take as a crime in our society is a way of life in the animal Kingdom. Stealing and murder is the way of life for Hyenas and can't be equated as a crime.

But crime has not always been in existence for primitive man operated at a level we can describe today as barbaric.

Crime came into existence when mankind began to socialise in organised groups. For there to be peaceful coexistence rules where drawn and from there the concept of crime was invented.

But it will take mankind several millennia to develop effective crime preventive measures by adopting independent authorities to punish criminals.

In primitive man, crime only existed in one dimensions involving two parties - the perpetrator and the victim which I will refer as the "first parties". Instant retribution was the only way to check crime in primitive man's world.

As man began congregating in extended groups, second parties arose as arbitrators. "First party" victims of crime will seek a "second party" to help get retribution and justice for a wrong doing he must have suffered. This thus led to a feudal state of man and it gave rise to generational warring among mankind as justice wasn't at the core at preventing crime but rather relationships and strength of affiliation of the "first parties." A prime example of this feudal state of war over injustice can still be seen among bedouin tribes.

Most societies decided early on that for society to be peaceful and crime free a "third party" who is guided by equity and fairness and who is versed in the laws ought to be appointed to arbitrate on crime. This "third party" saw the beginning of both the legislative and judiciary arms of society.

In failed states, the first cracks were first noticed when equity and justice had become eroded and compromised. Society members thus forego "third party" arbiters for "second" and "first party" solutions.

In present day Nigeria, the Buhari led FG has eroded any little confidence the people have in the security forces and courts in checking criminality and upholding the law.

When you have Fulani criminals going unchecked killing and raping across the land with no intentions whatsoever to reign them in and punish them for their heinous crime, their victims will be forced to adopt "second party" measures to protect themselves from future injustice and criminality.

As I said earlier "second party" solutions fall on securing solace and protection from powerful relations or from forming a powerful militia from people of similar bloc or relationships.

This has since seen the rise of tribal militias like the Mambilla Militia who formed tribal armies in Taraba to check the marauding fulanis whom Buhari has done nothing to check their activities.

A similar tribal militia was quickly assembled in Ife by Yorubas to check the rioting Awusa mobs who had killed a Yoruba man. The people of Ife took the laws into their hands because they knew from recent experience in Mile 12, Lagos that the security forces will not arrest the marauding Awusa mob.

Another good example of abuse of powers by the Buhari govt is the unconditional release of 5 Awusa men who beheaded an elderly Igbo trader. Buhari had earlier set the path for the release of the shameless cowards when he stated that "people should not take the laws into their hands" - meaning that he believed the woman deserved to be killed for desecration of Islam, a punishment deserving of death according to sharia law. It will then come as no surprise when the Kano state govt withdrew all charges of the perpetrators and set them free.

Since 2015, Buhari and his satanic APC are taking us back to their barbaric feudal medieval Islamic state of terror. It will then be no surprise when Nigeria soon slips into anarchy.

I wonder why this post didnt gather a million likes. Brilliant submission of the nepotism being openly exhibited by our president, thus leading to people not having confidence in the justice system and taking laws into their hands.

NEWSCASTER

As in ehn.. This has been my greatest shock in this administration... He can never have a live interview session, five years on now, same method.. He releases statement or old video via femi adeshina or Garba Shehu.. Old clown..

This is not peculiar to Nigeria alone though. However, I agree with other points listed.

What I am trying to imply Sir is that, in Nigeria, merit is almost always placed at the back seat in some sensitive positions.

Been a while.. Hello house..
Got tired of complaining and devaluation wahala, so I sold my stocks, packed my bags, and moved to 'new lagos'.

Might revisit nse when I settle properly..

I was always afraid the lights had gone off when it appears as if the fridge has stopped working.. Obviously the thermostat regulating the temperature.
The lights has not blinked. My shoes hardly get dirty even after walking hundreds of metres.

I wrote Ielts once, was I that brilliant? NO. But one thing I had, was determination and God's grace. Infact I was damn slow, that I had to write the major essay in less than 10mins as I had no time. One thing on my mind was that, I won't be paying this exam fee twice, and God helped me.

As a youth try and explore other worlds, Nigeria is an upside down country - this is the best way I can describe it as I am short of words. A country where a PhD holder answers sir to a school certificate holder.

Has it been easy, sure no. But the pain is worth it. Well worth it.

Last word, don't do it for yourself, do it for your kids, your future generation, they will one day thank you.

This is my little pep talk for us here and way of giving back from loads of info obtained here during the process.
