Crime / Re: Why Police Can't Track Kidnapper's Phone Calls by iswallker(m): 3:24pm On Aug 31
vanbonattel:
I took time to read the whole article, and as detailed as it is, it still points to what some people have been talking about, THE NEED FOE STATE POLICE.

There are many factors the article pointed out, like the priority of successive police administrators like the IGPs, they said after Arase left the force, other heads of police refused to prioritise technical tracking of crimes. This brings to the fore what the negligence of one head, who may be from a region that loves kidnapping can do to wreck havoc on another region that could have afforded the technology to install the tracking system in their own states or regions. But since everything is centrally controlled, the failure in Abuja will be repeated in Lagos.

If you give the chance to Anambra state government to control their own police postings, they will know who to place in control of Ogbaru, or Onitsha. A person who is well versed in the area, can pick out patterns and make interventions. But place a Sokoto man with his assistants in the top echelon of the police in Delta state, locals will wake up one day and witness crime, they won't know who the criminals and police are, because they speak the same language, look exactly the same, maybe interchange uniform and arms, and collaborate each others activities.

If you check very well, maybe an Ogun state man might have led the team to rescue the Emir of Gobir, a man whose highest crime stopping experience is just catching people who do ritual killings, then you send him to enter a thick forest and catch dare devil kidnappers from maybe Niger Republic etc, he has already failed. He doesn't understand the language or the culture.

See your big head - why do you have to associate Ogun State with ritual killings... lipsrsealed
Health / Re: Strike: FG Evokes ‘No Work, No Pay’ Policy Against Resident Doctors by iswallker(m): 10:40am On Aug 30
FreeStuffsNG:
It's a somewhat controversial strike action by the time FG allows such precedent and other professionals do same across board then government decides to sanction such group(s).

Just imagine that criminals kidnap a police officer and the whole police officers force go on strike. How does that help their case?

NARD could have adopted a more sensible and matured approach to drawing attention to the unfortunate situation of their member instead of going on a nationwide strike. Is it that they don't have elders in the profession to guide them ni?


Criminals kidnap their member in Plateau state and while security agencies are on it, they are demanding that patients need to die across the country.

When she is now freed, will they bring back the dead or do they now want the blood and curses of the dead to be upon her head and that of her generations ni?

You can’t see because life is difficult for the blind.
Are doctors the only ones being kidnapped in Nigeria?
How many other professionals/trade unions have u seen declaring strike because their members are kidnapped?



So why not declare the strike in his state? Why should someone in faraway Bayelsa suffer for the sin of kaduna state governor? Use your sense, many pregnant women, children, sick people,’poor Nigerians will die because of this strike.

The kidnapped doctor shall be rescued by the power of God, but will the lost lives from the strike be replaced ?

Still the same nonsense...

It’s heartbreaking to be in kidnappers den for that long but why are those doctors always going on strike for everything? Insecurity is affecting every profession in Nigeria and not limited to doctors alone. So ASUU should go on strike if a lecturer is kidnapped, all banks should shut down if a banker is kidnapped, soldiers should go on strike if a soldier is kidnapped, markets should shut down if a trader is kidnapped ?

Govt should tackle insecurity and make sure everyone including the doctor in kidnappers’ den is freed!


Doctors should stop going on strike for things like this, many people will die because of their action. The masses who are also suffering from kidnappers will suffer more with this.

They should be reasonable!


Searching for the sense in your writeup - I can't find any....not a tiny bit.

How can somebody be kidnapped for eight months and we pretend all is well...the governor's even did owambe wedding in taraba over the weekend - those are the chief security officers in the states.

Government should have declared state of emergency on security..it's an attack on the sovereignty of the nation for people not to be able to move freely without being kidnapped and killed... undecided

You're being scammed. Plantain is easily grown in SE and SW, if you guys can't plant, feel free to suffer.

That aside. A lot of sellers take advantage of the economic situation to cheat others.
One woman close to my house sells candles 200 naira, when she told me the price, she added that it was Tinubu o. Two weeks later I discovered that the actual price was 150 naira. Women are the ones inflating food items. They're just greedy

Dey play... cool

A 1 liter bottle of paraeforce is #7300 current price.
I transport to the farm at least once per week @ #3000. I should actually go 2ce but not feasible considering the cost.
This is minus cost of labor pesticide is over #11000 per 1 liter bottle.

Then of course losses due to weather and thieves.
Finally transport to market....

I used to buy all these chemicals #1500 - #2000. You won't even know you bought anything.

Medical science took interest in her longevity and wanted to find hut how she did it.

Education / Re: ASUU to embark On Nationwide Strike, issues 21-day notice to Federal Govt by iswallker(m): 9:00pm On Aug 19
FreeStuffsNG:
UNILAG must not join the strike unless....

ASUU is no longer the only union for university lecturers and decisions reached on behalf of the university lecturers are not binding on lecturers in private universities and some state universities like LASU, UNIOSUN etc. Those schools don't go on strike yet ASUU claims to be fighting for all the Nigerian lecturers including lecturers of those universities that don't observe the strike but later reap from whatever concession ASUU employers give to ASUU after only schools like UNILAG are shut. That's an unfair and unjust strike! It should be all or none!

Strikes called by ASUU since the advent of private universities and state universities in Nigeria have been discriminatory against only students in some public universities and it's clear that the students are being used as a bargaining chip. That's against the principle of justice.

Each university management and their students should demand for the rights of their students until all the universities close and proceed on strike or no strike. All universities in Nigeria must observe the strike or no strike.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Politics / Re: We Don’t Get ₦‎21 Million As Salary Or Allowance’, Senate Counters Sumaila by iswallker(m): 10:45am On Aug 16
Mayflowa:
Senator Aderamodu didn't deny the allegation. He said the 21 million naira was not meant for personal use but for running office like buying stationery, letterhead. I don't really know what he meant by running office. Do senators pay for their aides themselves? NO; Do senators pay for diesel for powering their offices? NO. There should be a request office for stationeries.

Let's assume you spend some money to run your office, Why is this money paid to their personal account? He talks about director-general having money to run office. Do they pay these money to director-general's personal account. This is a poor fiscal accountability, fraudulent and distasteful. Anyone can squander money in his or her personnel account. Is this how other senate are run in other part of the world? The truth is that the woman senator that report 21m naira is also lying. The money is probably 40m monthly.

I don't think senators deserve constituency fees. What can you do with say 100m constituency allowance? How do you even award the contract? These are ploy to steal monies of our sweat and blood.

I sight you... cool

Trained by Tai Solarin ... Always speaking the the truth to power... wink

By the way the head of my unit - equivalent to a director - gets N10,000 running cost per month.

So protest will make them afford all you said?

Below is 1983 when they still sell bag of beans for N200, yet millions of Nigerians are crying for hunger then.

But you expect protest from some insurrectionists to suddenly make all of you afford a bag of beans. You never talk the motive of your protest.

Stop misinforming people.

Majority could afford to eat three square meals at the time. Even the poorest of the poor ate to their satisfaction.

Tai Solarin was running a hostel with 2300 kids. Any increase in prices mid session would affect his ability to cater for the children hence the letter.

Salewa97:
Na wa o.

This is the kind of chaos that follows when people decide to protest without a clear plan. Instead of addressing the real issues, they just scatter everywhere like headless chickens.

In Nigeria, protests are just a platform for people to display their frustration without any real change. The blood of innocent people is on the hands of those who incite these protests.

We have seen it before; the politicians are busy playing their games while the common man suffers the consequences. The people in Borno are paying the price for what? For a protest that won't change anything?

If the leaders truly cared, they would focus on protecting lives instead of letting people march around without understanding the risks involved. This is just a cycle of violence that leads nowhere.

Were bombs not exploding in Borno before this planned protest because I don't understand your Linkin protest and bomb.

Does the daily expenses of a Civil Servant in Victoria Island or Banana Island equate with that of a local government clerk in Talata Marafa Local Government Area of Zamfara State?

That's the problem with this country. It is run by unintelligent people who in a decent society are not even qualified to clean toilets.


Nobody can earn leas than the minimum wage. The salary structure and allowances of each state will still differ based on the peculiarities of the state like you mentioned. is that difficult for you to understand...
