This is Nigeria

Why would you post this unless you made it yourself.
What is progress, what was being measured?

Prime4life:
must you say this right now?, let just assume it was your sister or wife that is missing and she got found, will you have that time to tell people?. Anyways Let her be found in good health this i pray for.

It is selfish not to tell others about the dangers out there.

Praxis758:
Since FG fail to heed the call for restructuring through constitutional amendment, folks are now using judicial means to achieve their rights being suppressed by the hegemony sitting in Abuja.

The joke is on you.
If the order is unconstitutional, it will be quashed by a higher court, if not
then it means the local government always has such power but didn't exercise it.

BTW, how many restructuring motions has your rep and senator moved in the house?
You may not even know their names!

candygist:
Do you read before commenting or you just can’t wait to show your stupidity to the whole wide world? Where in the write up did falana ask police to arrest Kemi ? Please kindly read and understand before commenting, it’s for ur own good.

Did anybody arrest Mailafia, Soyombo or the leader of northern protesters for speaking?
No.
They were "invited" for discussion.
You are just a dunce.

vedaxcool:
Old bitter man, you spent over how many billion of dollars and gave us darkness. You bitterness and envy is gigantic that your brother Abiola was denied his due recognition when you were president.

It is time you quit telling these lies or bring him to book.
OBJ must be a magician to have generated and spent several years budget within a short time
without borrowing.

Temi2468:
Even arm robbers, bandits, terrorists, ritualists, thieves, air their opinions, and this is what helps investigations sometimes.

You don't know what you are talking about.
Criminals aren't arrested for opinions but for real crimes they commit.
This may be strange to you given the country you live in.

Airing your opinion is different from making an affirmative statement. Let the person who made the conclusion be investigated since she knows the facts.

Opinion and affirmative statement is one and the same in this case.
Let Falana sue if he thinks Kemi defamed his client just as expected of normal law abiding citizens.
Instead he prefers to use his influence to incarcerate Kemi based on his clients wishes.
He is just outed himself as a pretentious character with zero principles regarding the issue of police excesses
that he regularly comments on.

May be truth may be revealed.
#ogbon ni principal thing.

There is no "truth" in law.
There are facts, evidence and speculations.

Yahoo boys have started paying for PR.

Most of our generals are clueless.
The result speak for themselve.

StreetFight:
Tinubu can buy even Lucifer. How much did Sheriff made as governor of that desert state? Tinubu will buy Sheriff and Sheriff will gift his wife to Tinubu.

Don't say what you don't know.
Sheriff is a political moneybag even before his foray into politics.

PaChukwudi44:
How does this man even do it?

Dollars and more dollars.

cedricksly:
kemi is Insensitive and do not know when to talk or air her so called opinion which is aim at chasing clout, every other person know she is quick to jump in trending matters just to chase clout... Even her talk can be said to hinder proper investigation.... So forget Falana matter.... You do not know the pain or spewing ill tinx about the dead when the person isn't there to defend him/herself.

Insensitive, stupid or foolishness is not a crime!
If you believe they should be crime, petition your lawmaker about it but first think deep about
the future consequence for yourself.

Just a little over a year ago, some people shut down various part of the country
supposedly over police harassment and illegal actions.

One of their patrons is publicly encouraging illegal police harassment against a non-criminal
purportedly over hurt feelings. We have warped value systems as nobody seems to care about
principles, only gains.

What is Falana turning into?
He is asking the police to arrest Kemi for airing her opinion.
He would have been shouting oppression and due process if a politician did the same.
Hypocrite.

Redcrafton:
Awolowo - Jailed

Fela- Jailed

Obasanjo - jailed

Abiola jailed and killed

Bola Ige - killed

Funshi Williams- killed.

Gen adisa, and co - imprisoned

Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Ganui Adams - jailed..

Tinubu - exiled.

Only one of those can even be considered a Yoruba "leader".
I don't expect you, an Ipob member to understand neither does
your pretentious concern make any sense.

Our leaders are..
My bad, every government official is into bribery and extortion.
Some of these evil workers even earn more annually than high skilled employees.

jrusky:
What is so special is I came from the background and I know what that rank mean when security issue arises and a dam bloody rag tags civilian called bandit, kidnappers tdaring star General openly with no fear bro its a shame Buhari should be demoted. So do you understand now.

It shows you don't understand the military despite your claimed background
and you are likely one of the gullible ones who believed a general can easily solve
security issues in 2015.
What is so sad is that you have still not recovered from the delusion that a general
will be better in handling security issues.

It is one thing to be harassing people on the road, it is entirely a different when faced
with tenacious enemies with equal arms. Wasn't a general recently killed in an attack?

Everyone is a bloody civilian until they own a gun.
BTW, the so-called rank and stars are mostly gotten as political rewards.

Pls if you are apc don't reply or quote me again pls I just beg you. Thanks.

What does this even mean?
SMH

NigeriaIsGreat:
I'm right in Lagos too and i can tell you for free that no where is secured under this lifeless man. A young 18 years old girl had just been kidnapped right here in Lagos

There is no country where kidnappers don't operate and some
regions are better than the other, that is a fact.
Using an 18 year old who is eloping with a boyfriend is rather poor example of insecurity
when the government's insecurity failures abound.

jrusky:
Hhmm..

I never believe Nigeria would become these under a whole rtd Army General as president, its unbelievable.

What is so special about an army General?

Are the civilian spies the ones who gave Intel on when to attack baracks, where the armory is?

Intel?
When a facility is overrun, it doesn't take a genius to ransack the place and loot valuables.
Even ordinary unarmed rioters looted AK-47s during the endsars riot.

Was is civilians that gave Intel on the NDA attack?

Intel again?
NDA is a school and not a defense post.
People are allowed to freely walk in and out the institution the last time I checked.
There is nothing special in kidnapping students from a school that is open to the public.

Drones, both weaponized and spy drones, there are so many high caliber long range weapons that would give the military an upper hand.

I see you are shying away from listing the "so many high caliber long range weapons".
There is a difference between upper hand and victory.
America had more drones than they needed in Afghanistan, it gave them upper hand but
they still fled at last.

Then they didn't do enough, there is no limit to what can be done.

There is always a limit. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.

You are twisting history, it is alleged the Talibans bombed the world trade center on 911,

The bold is completely false.
Nobody has ever accused the Taliban of carrying out 9/11.
You seem to be unfamiliar with the topic being discussed.

America took the war beyond their shores to their stronghold and country, Afghanistan, toppled their govt and put in place a civilian govt with full American support

All you described above are so fantasies. If toppling a government is so big of a deal, America
will have indisputable power. You don't even need boots on ground to topple governments.
Despite the "full American support", top US politicians only visited Afghanistan unannounced
because of fear of attack.
Today, there is a government in Borno, but a person would have to be reckless to take safety for granted.

and only decided to pull out due to the high cost involved after almost 10 years.

Pull out is the same thing as accepting defeat.
Nobody pulls out while winning!

I am not asking the Nigerian govt or military to go to Afghanistan, I am saying they should make Nigeria so hot for them, they won't even consider staying in Niger or Chad.

Again, you are misreading the issue.
The location is immaterial. Same defeat awaits an army who refuse to think beyond weapons
or continue to ignore the troops incompetence.

Shaky story with little details.
She was likely "kidnapped" by an online boyfriend.

Emergingnation1:
And so what !!
Independent is independent irrespective of geographical area

Independence and secession are different.
You need to read more.

This is a foreign territory under France but the posters above don't understand
this simple fact.

My DM is literally FULLLL of people that have had similar experiences in LASUTH – how is it still running.

This girl can't understand a simple issue.
LASUTH is still running because it continues to deliver value to patients.

LASUTH like other teaching hospitals takes a significant number of
referrals from other medical facilities.
Many of these patients usually have complicated issues and life-threatening emergencies
with poor prognosis unlike normal patients in regular hospitals.

When Ms Fapson discovers an hospital where people don't die, she should let us know.

1Sharon:
6000 you mean.16000 how

Why are you arguing blindly against facts?

White people are very simple.

Very simple indeed.
What does that even mean?

I know you admire the angelic whites, but stop feeling inferior to them.
They are humans like you with similar makeup, dreams and flaws.

1Sharon:
16,00 or 6000?

It is clear enough with three zeroes.
An average British person spends about 16,000 pounds on their wedding.

This British-based couple are being vilified for spending their own money.

Let us see.
This policy could be disastrous for some tenants.
Most Lagosians do not hold regular income job.

dododawa1:
Govt should build LOW cost houses in every local govt to surpassed landlord/landlady problem.

Stop living in dreamland of socialists.
There are no low cost houses, someone else is paying the cost.

DriverX:
After two months, he'll sleep with her best friend.

And so what?
I see you are into cars.
Why don't the fear of a car breaking down after purchase scare you away from it?

Eriokanmi:
small time, they'd blame village people for their delayed fruit of the womb. We're architects of our fortune and misfortune in life.

Nigerians living in the city of angels doesn't make them emulate angels or live like one. You live amongst modest people yet you want a flamboyant wedding. It's in the blood.

Stop illogical comparisons.
An average British wedding costs about 16,000 pounds which is more than this couple have spent.
Even at that, nobody is under any obligation to copy others .

MrHyde:
Of course they can
1. Track their funding sources and be bold enough to prosecute them,

Their major funding comes from tax and kidnapping similar to the Taliban.
Who would you prosecute in these cases?

2. Investigate to find out spys in the military and prosecute them

This will have little to no effect. The "spies" that make a difference
are civilians.

3. Purchase enough weapons to go after them

What kind of weapons do you think will make a difference?

4. Plant moles to get as much information

The military already did. But this is real life and not movies.

Basically, with intelligence and strong will, terrorism can be conquered.

I suppose the Americans were too incompetent to follow this blueprint in Afghanistan?
They can be defeated but it takes more than conventional thinking to defeated terrorist groups.

knowhowk:
And till now they are yet to exhaust those Weapons ?

Have the Nigerian army exhausted its own weapons?
No.
Some newly bought MWRAPs, Hilux and battle tanks were recently seized by Boko haram.

What Weapons do they use to Fight the Nigerian army to get those Weapons from them ?

Knives, Machete, local guns and low calibre fireams, that is what Boko haram started with.
In fact, an average armed robbery group was better armed than Boko haram in the beginning until
they started raiding police stations and army posts to seize weapons.
The same soldiers who fled and abandoned their weapons would turn around to complain of lack
of weapons and lazy journalists wouldn't bother questioning their claims.

If you still don't get it, go and do your research and come back with a list or even just 1 special weapon that
Boko haram uses that the army does not posses.

knowhowk:
Gone are the days Soldiers are Passionate about WARS ,In this Present Naija Situations it seems that Mindset is changing especially when they think about the Old Fashioned Weaponry in Comparison to the Terrorists Own.

It is a political lie that Boko haram have better weapons, they don't.
In fact, almost all their weapons were seized from the Nigerian army.
