As A Parent, What Would You Do When You Observe That Your Daughter Is A Lesbian ?

This Critical Question Is Directed To Fathers And Mothers !

Once a girl child decide to become lesbian just ensure you don't give her education beyond junior secondary school then marry her off to one old man and be sending the man her school fees to be feeding her

By the time she born 3 children she won't even remember anything lesbian

Nonsense LGBTQ decadence

Obi supporters will still complain

wfjimmytobby:
You lucky to have a job of 500k

Thanks for the good response

The same man has 1 wife with less than 4 children and still complaining about 500k

I am disappointed because less than 1 million Nigerians out of over 250 million people sees 400k monthly

Pls rest

Zionmdde:
Only syncompants will be here singing praises of a road construction in which name the Government has taken trillions of naira in loan

Every market day they take loans in the name of these projects, no accountability whatsoever on how much the project was billed to cost, how much has been borrowed and what was done with the remaining loans

In Nigeria, accountability is forbidden, collect 3 billion in the name of a project, use 500million to do the project, use 3 million to erect a billboard to praise your extraordinary leadership

Politics is extremely lucrative in this side of the world

You people are only happy when you see bad news about Nigeria

You will soon receive bad news from your family if that's what you desire

CodeTemplar:
I refuse to believe that. No dead terrrorist or victims? How.

I support you

If this government cannot arrest those terrorist and kidnappers and kill them on a live broadcast then this government is the actual terrorist

essentialone:
From your Annual Rent, do you bother to calculate how much you pay as Rent per month?

All you people wants to calculate is inflation

Do you forget that inflation is an indication of economic growth

When cement was sold at #1500 how many beautiful houses were built in your street? When fuel was #30 so many family still eat egg and bread on festival days only

In my village, when fuel was #85 per liter nobody build a house with sewage all we do is shit inside nylon and discard onto the bush. Fuel is now #1400 yet people are building 3 bedroom flats and big chopping complex

Inflation can never be stopped because it's an indication of growth

No need to downplay the government efforts pls

WatchYourSix:
E reach turn of politician family member, rescue don happen sharp sharp….. na common man lose

The same common man will be fighting each other because of Obi and Tinubu

It will be better for common man to start going around with knife and pistols to avoid kidnappism

Very useless politicians everywhere

What Practical Steps Should Southwest States Take Against Banditry and Terrorism?
https://www.nairaland.com/8685199/what-practical-steps-should-southwest

Please, make your suggestion also on that thread. An authorised person may be reading this too and your contributions will be of help

For me

1. Establish a Comprehensive Resident Identity System

The Each State Government should develop a comprehensive resident identity and address verification system to improve security, planning, and service delivery. Every resident should be encouraged to register through a centralized database linked to verified residential addresses. This system will assist law enforcement agencies in identifying criminal elements, tracking suspicious activities, and improving emergency response capabilities while respecting constitutional rights and privacy protections.

2. Registration and Regulation of Herders

All herders operating within Each State should be required to register with the State Government and the relevant Local Government Authorities before engaging in grazing or livestock activities. Registration should include biometric identification, location of operation, livestock records, and compliance with state regulations. This measure will promote accountability, reduce farmer-herder conflicts, and help security agencies identify unauthorized or suspicious activities.

3. Monitoring and Prevention of Violent Extremism

The government should strengthen collaboration between security agencies, community leaders, and religious organizations to identify and prevent violent extremism. Authorities should monitor and investigate individuals or organizations suspected of supporting terrorism, radicalization, or violent activities, regardless of religious affiliation. Any person found to be promoting or financing terrorism should face prosecution in accordance with Nigerian law.

4. Promote Agricultural Self-Sufficiency

Each Southwest State should invest heavily in agriculture to enhance food security and create employment opportunities. Government support should include access to improved seedlings, mechanized farming, irrigation systems, agricultural training, storage facilities, and access to markets. Increased agricultural productivity will reduce economic vulnerabilities and strengthen rural communities.

5. Develop a Community and Neighbourhood Intelligence Network

A structured neighbourhood intelligence network should be established across communities in each state State. Residents, community leaders, traditional institutions, and security agencies should work together to identify emerging security threats and share relevant information. Such a system should operate within legal frameworks and emphasize the protection of citizens' rights.

6. Eliminate Illegal Settlements in Deep Forest Areas

The government should conduct a comprehensive survey of forest reserves and remote settlements. Unauthorized settlements established in deep forests, particularly those linked to criminal activities, should be dismantled through lawful procedures. Forest reserves should be regularly monitored and patrolled to prevent their use as safe havens for kidnappers, bandits, terrorists, and other criminal groups.

7. Swift Prosecution of Serious Crimes

The State Government should strengthen collaboration with the judiciary and security agencies to ensure the swift investigation and prosecution of kidnapping, terrorism, banditry, illegal arms trafficking, and organized crime. Fast-track procedures should be considered for cases involving serious threats to public safety while ensuring due process and fair trials.

8. Establish Formal Reporting Channels for Suspicious Activities

Multiple reporting channels should be created to enable citizens to report suspicious activities safely and confidentially. These channels may include dedicated hotlines, mobile applications, community liaison officers, and local security committees. Public awareness campaigns should educate citizens on how and when to report security concerns.

9. Promote Civic Education and Constitutional Values

Schools across each State should strengthen civic education programs that teach constitutional rights, responsibilities of citizenship, peaceful coexistence, tolerance, and respect for the rule of law. Young people should be equipped with the knowledge and values necessary to contribute positively to society and resist extremist influences.

10. Prosecute Incitement to Violence

The government should adopt a zero-tolerance approach toward incitement to violence, hatred, terrorism, or public disorder. Individuals who promote violence through public speeches, religious gatherings, traditional institutions, political platforms, social media, or any other means should be investigated and prosecuted according to the law, regardless of their status or background.

11. Expand Vocational and Technical Education

Each State should significantly expand vocational and technical education opportunities to equip young people with practical skills for employment and entrepreneurship. Training programs should focus on modern agriculture, information technology, construction, renewable energy, manufacturing, and other high-demand sectors. Empowering youth economically will reduce vulnerability to recruitment by criminal organizations and extremist groups.

We need them to be killed according to shari'a of Islam

Once you kidnap someone and request for Ransome, the judgement is death according to shari'a because you caused serious distress to the society

Also the judgement is usually within 2 days

Kill them all before the pastors that sent them began to lobby

Armaggedon:
So Sharia is really part of their demands?

Tell your pastors who sent them to kidnap people that our shari'a does not include kidnapping or torturing people. They should change their criminal tactics all together with their Christian sponsors

Are your people billionaire or not?

Answer the simple question

kerry57:
You too should go to anambra with night bus and nylon so, that the state will make. Lazy outh like u in the words of our late former president.
U see no difference between you and the lazy south Africans

In 2025, Lagos State attracted $2.56 billion in foreign capital (dropping to second place nationally behind the FCT), heavily skewed toward portfolio investments. In contrast, its robust domestic economy generated an estimated ₦1.87 trillion ($~2.2B) in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), highlighting the massive scale of local business over foreign capital inflows

Above is the analysis of what Lagos IGR in 2025

Igbos pls if total local is 2.2 billion dollars revenue how much did Lagos state government generated from dangote, GLO, and some other non Igbo business calculate how much IGR Igbos contributed and have sense

Antoeni:
Confirmed, To Be Honest The Entire Yoruba Nation Contributes Less Than 35 Percent

If the Yoruba leaders can calm their own brain and come up with policies that generate investment and also ensure businesses to thrive in progress then your Igbo leaders lack vision and wisdom to come up with any reasonable policy

Any of you that is tired of progress of Yoruba land you can pack all your nonsense investment that is not upto 20% of Chinese companies investment and go away

You Igbo have this grandiose delusion, if we are talking about investment Igbos total investment in Lagos is not up to 15% what is your problem of over overvalued ideas

Why

The issues of banditry and kidnapping get so serious because people keep paying millions to criminals whose father never gather 200k in his life time, how do we expect them to stop

Once the government chose to kill kidnappers within 48 hours by hanging in public others will learn

The Lagos State Government has apprehended 45 beggars, including adults and minors, during separate enforcement operations conducted in Oshodi, Agege, and CMS areas of the state.

The Commissioner for the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a statement posted on his X handle on Wednesday.

According to him, 22 beggars were arrested in Oshodi and Agege, comprising adults and a few teenagers.

He added that 14 adults and nine children were also apprehended at CMS during the exercise.

Earlier today, in a separate enforcement operation, our team apprehended 22 beggars at Oshodi and Agege, comprising adults and a few teenagers.

“Additionally, 14 adults and 9 children were apprehended at CMS,” Wahab stated.

Wahab also said clearance operations were ongoing in other parts of the state, including Admiralty Way in Lekki and Addo Road in Ajah.

PUNCH Online reported on May 25 that Lagos State Government intensified its environmental enforcement, making 10,634 arrests across the state over a single year.

According to Wahab, 5,715 persons were arrested for illegal highway crossing, while 3,886 others were apprehended for offences including street trading, environmental pollution, and cart pushing.

He added that 102 persons were arrested for open defecation, while another 931 individuals were apprehended for waste management-related offences across the state.

Pictures of the Kidnapped Former Power Minister, Bayo Adelabu’s Sister, Twin Sons

Chief Adelabu and the family said they are “deeply distressed” by the development but remain hopeful and confident in the capacity of security agencies to secure the safe release of Mrs. John-Paul and her sons.

They appealed to the public to remain calm and avoid speculation or the spread of unverified information that could jeopardise ongoing operations. “We also solicit prayers and support from well-meaning Nigerians during this difficult period,” the family added.

Anyone with useful information has been urged to report it promptly to security agencies through the appropriate channels. The family said it will continue to cooperate fully with authorities and provide updates as events unfold.

Anybody caught in kidnappism should be prosecuted withing 48 hours

Enough of this nonsense

What a nonsense slow motion judgement

If the governor refuse to sign the execution on time the governor should be added to the terrorist and get executed too

Also, these people should be hanged to death in the city of Ondo state for everyone to see such that others who wanted to practice terrorism and kidnappism will rethink

This is why any Saudi is very peaceful, once you do nonsense you are execution, infact if you go there with bitter cola you will be executed

Tension flared in Lagos when a man confronted demonstrators who had gathered to demand urgent action over the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State. The dramatic exchange, captured on video, drew the attention of bystanders as the man repeatedly insisted that protests were not permitted at the location. The confrontation has since sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians debating citizens' rights to peaceful assembly and the growing frustration over insecurity and the fate of the kidnapped victims.

KIDNAPS HAPPENED IN OYO STATE AND YOU PEOPLE CANNOT PROTEST IN OYO AND ABUJA BUT WANTS TO DISRUPT LAGOS
