few reports might be classified in the us or uk sef for national security reasons, but the bulk of their data is publicly available and verifiable. In Nigeria, the problem is much deeper.We can't even trust basic national figures so crime / election data built on that foundation can’t be fully trusted. It's so glaring that our figures are no good but people just get on with life regardless. Our weak justice system doesn't help matters to address issues honestly without yeye tehicalities - re opposition claims

btoks:
But data analysis depends on the quality of data collected and unfortunately our systems still miss a lot, plenty crimes even go unreported. Personally not reported a number of crimes against me.
To date, government disputes killings at Lekki End sars, witnesses say otherwise.

MrSly:
I don't stay in the US. You don't even have a passport let alone a visa. Travelling to the US is a long dream for you. So don't be miserable by digressing shamefully.

btoks:
Of course they are as reported but assumed to be accurate thus no need to add the 'as reported' phrase. For Nigeria, ai has clearly added the 'as reported' phrase to show that the figures are from limited and uncertain sources and likely not accurate.

btoks:
US data reports are highly accurate, whether or not Trump contests the results. They have verifiable systems and recounts when needed. Can you honestly say the same about Nigerian elections? You and I both know most Nigerian data is unreliable and often manipulated.
What are the actual figures from all the terrorist attacks the last 3 months sef, how about End Sars killings, kidnappings?

DeepSight:
I get you. I dont really believe it either, its just that there s enough on ground to make it believable especially by outsiders.
Also so isolated major cases (Deborah) and some instances of people being killed for blasphemy etc make the matter worse.

DeepSight:
I understand but there is still much that is suggestive of that when you look at Southern Kaduna, Plateau and Benue in particular.

btoks:
Even ai had to include a caveat for the Nigerian figures as 'reported'.

MrSly:
Nigeria is also a terroaist sympathiser nation because of their islamisation agenda. I can't give my loyalty to a failed nation whose goal is to enthrone a religion forcefully at the cost of citizens lives. I don't owe nigeria anything.

DeepSight:
Yeah, everyone knows those. That doesnt make it wrong to point out the mass murder going on in Nigeria from terrorists etc.

btoks:
No, you can't rely on the bulk of official data out of Nigeria. Known fact. Population figures, crime data, voter register, election results, census figures, public spending records, unemployment rates, inflation numbers, health and education data, even some politicians’ academic or professional histories etc. Too much inconsistency and politically influenced.

btoks:
US and UK figures are highly accurate at least 99% confidence level.
How accurate do think the Naija figures are?

MrSly:
Na you sabi. Terrorists in civilian clothe. Did I hear you say betray nigeria? Lol. I don't have any price anyways. If I believe in something I set my mind for and I can't be compromised. I believe that I am not a Nigerian. I can't betray sth that does not even have my loyalty in the first place.

DeepSight:
Bad premises. Non natural deaths include accidents and many others.

The question to ask is death from terrorism - because that was the specific issue.

DeepSight:
I am not sure your claim in the last paragraph is correct.

DeepSight:
That speech was inconsequential and there was nothing special there.

What increased propaganda. Is it the Christian genocide thing?

Co incidence.

DeepSight:
Nigeria didn't take any stance on the matter in Gaza beyond weak lip service which didn't even say anything tangible.

South Africa took a clear stance. That's what you call taking a stance.

Nigeria is non existent in foreign affairs.

MrSly:
Nigeria is always on yhe wrong side of history. Nigeria wants to duplicate theit terrorism friendly enclave to Israel. But thank God that Israel has zero tolerance for terrorists.

nams77:
It's quite saddening to see post like these. With a morsel of porridge you lots have been bought. A country where terrorists negotiate with government is not a failed country? A country where terrorists who are on wanted lists will ride bikes to meeting grounds fully armed and in the presence of soldiers and police, and these same terrorists will ride away into the sunset still armed, after boldly making their request. Which country can this happen?
Some of your should bend down and pick up your brains. It is under the sole of your feet. Tueh! Can't sell my conscience

Saturnalia:
Improving on paper. Go and sample public opinions on your naive assumption.

Watch the video, it was not the man that was owing but his tenant

A lot of kenyan christians do pray for their country.

That the media does not cover it does not mean they don't do so.

Only Yorubas. It's going to be revisited someday
