DeepSight:


It's illegal. They should have no business in it. They are lawmakers not executives.

Then why are you asking questions when you have already made it illegal?

SisterAnn:
Wait till you see the content of the padding. They didn't pad with sense.

There is nothing like padding.

How will they enforce this?
Binance won't hand over data of all Nigerians to the government and risk
being sued by Nigerian residents in EU and US.
Or even was face sanctions for violating data privacy regulations.

DeepSight:


What are constituency projects and are they constitutional.

You will need to ask the supreme court about its constitutionality.

FYI, constituency projects money are not given to any senator,
they merely highlights the projects they want executed in their constituency.
It is then up to the executives whether to fund the projects or not.

From the above, you ca deduce for yourself if it is illegal or not.

MySolace:

Talk wit sense plz!

Nobody is questioning dia right to make or amend d budget. The bone of contention is, some of d projects are vague, doesnt have location. The ones wit location, d allocation seem surplus.

Then why the constant use of "budget padding" phrase?

What I expect educated fellows to discuss is the specific issues/budgetary provisions they consider problematic
and not the asinine noise about padding.

Unenforceable.

Again, there is nothing like budget padding.
The senators are just doing their jobs!

It is a huge shame on our country when even journalists don't know the functions of the legislative arm.

It is one thing to oppose certain changes in the budget, it is another to think
it is a crime for senators to alter budgetary provisions.

First of all, kidnapping under any guise is illegal.
Since the primary report was that of kidnapping, it is even surprising that
the army did not go with full force the first time around.

Now, all the high chiefs are persona non-grata.
They no longer have a home or village and will remain on the run indefinitely
until arrested.

Taking stupid decisions for temporary gains is never a wise move.

I am interested in the 500 villages who were allegedly shot at.

ElSudani:


Where's is the revenge attack and on whom? Did you even complain when policemen were barbecued in the south and eaten. Should we just accept this as normal?

You are clearly uncoordinated as your comment is all over the place.
I'm out.

Putindbutt:
Allen Onyema's recent outburst against Tinubu's appointees, particularly Festus Keyamo shows that Onyema is a greedy and mischievous capitalist. Ever since the minister of Aviation insisted that no local airline will be used as the national carrier of the country, Onyema has been going about the media blackmailing the minister. Airpeace is the only airline that has enjoyed the biggest assistance and patronage of the federal government out of all other local arlines yet this man remains ungrateful, he wanted to have it all. It would be unfair if FG singled out Airpeace as national carrier thereby neglecting other competent local airlines. i suggest Allen Onyema put his emotion in check and face his business and stop blackmailing the minister.

Does it make sense justifying how no local airline will be made national carrier?

This doesn't make sense.

ElSudani:


This is the type of lies they tell to justify evil.

What is the evil you are referring to, the revenge mission or that some bandits got away with murder?

Gkay1:

Stop this trash, last 2 weeks, bandits killed some and Nigeria army do nothing about it.

Don't be daft.
I ask you to name just one village where the people gathered to kill soldiers and went scot-free.
Don't disappoint, just give one example.

Mayeldah:


Bello Turji is a known bandit from Zamfara state that have killed both soldiers and other security personnel. There are many others like him known in the North.

You didn't answer my question.
Should the army attack an Edo village because an Edo person commits a crimein Abuja forest?

sometime last year, 32 soldiers were killed in Niger state, their aircraft gunned down. Niger state communities knows where these criminals hide in the bush, even the army knows but they did nothing.

Mr. mind reader, are you saying the entire community knows where he is or some people knows?
If it is the latter, how is that the fault of the army?
Is there any criminal that doesn't have civillian allies?

Do you suggest that the army starts torturing every member of the community until one of them breaks?
If that happen, do you think Turji would be stupid as to stay in one place?

The fact that you think Turji have a permanent base shows your limited knowledge of the bandits war.

Mayeldah:


so bandits have no village or home but anytime they are caught the Northern Muslims come to their aid to free them. Bandits are Nigerians, they have villages and they are known to Northerners.

The army will be the losers in this game, because they allowed Religious and Political extremists in the North to control and infiltrate them.

So if a person from Edo commits crime in Abuja forest.
The army should go and attack his village in Edo?

successmatters:


Because Yoruba nashon agitators may bring in some guns from dere

So bandits can bring in gone from Niger republic border?

successmatters:


So you want us to compete of smuggling levels?

Compete with who?
We are talking about one country here.
Why should one border be free and another be closed?

gidgiddy:


Simple to understand that Soldiers going to burn down communities is illegal and wrong is hard for some to understand

I see you sidestepped my question.
It is obvious you knew you were lying when you claimed soldiers are being killed every day in the north.

Now, to your warcrime cry, what is the punishment for burning down houses during a raid?
Death penalty, life imprisonment or a fine?
And which court would hear the case of huts being burned during a military raid?

As I schooled you during the Kanu's hysterical claims about extraordinary rendition,
extra-national laws are useless when national security is concerned except in very few cases such as genocide and even
in such cases the culprit countries have to be in the bad books of the powerful countries to be punished for it.

Your right or wrong judgment is irrelevant to your accusation of war crimes.

OriOko88:
Not surprised. Those Yoruba towns mentioned are still big and urban till now.

Ogbomoso is soo big..

Osun state dominated the list tho. The top 10 cities in d list are in osun state. The only thing is the cities are still d same since then. They need major facelift. Those rusty roofs in those towns must be replaced.

Replaced by who if I may ask?

gidgiddy:

Every week, Soldiers are killed in the North, but never have I heard that Soldiers attacked any community in the North. Just a few years ago, a serving Major General in the Nigerian Army, General Hassan Ahmed, was ambushed and killed by armed bandits in the North, nothing happened in the community

Where exactly are the soldiers being killed every week in the north?
It shouldn't be too hard for you to name a place where the community members gathered to kill soldiers in the north.

If you mean those killed while fighting bandits.
The last time I checked bandits don't operate from villages or towns, they are based in the forest.

And your charge of war crime is funny.
What does it mean to attack?

Melagros:
COMRADES, I thought that this kind of bitter politics exists only in Nigeria, I don't know that it is all over the African continent

Nothing bitter about it.
My only suggestion is that it should be illegal to remove gifts after they have been willfully presented to the members of the public.
Once you made such donations, it should automatically become the community's property.

Feintline:

Shame on you and your generation.

I suspected you are not that bright but I needed to confirm it with a simple question.
So, you can't point out the alleged crime and you are posting stupid meme about crime?
Your education was a complete waste.

successmatters:
So that you can chop from smuggling

So, there is no smuggling in Niger republic's border?

Feintline:
author=seunmsg post=128969873]

Be reasonable and point out the crime.
Stop relying on other people to think for you.

Zooposki:
Na wa o. This practice of sharing money should stop. Nigerians are really fools.

Learn to read, no money was shared.
It is the money the federal government will spend on projects in Nwoko's district
and not Nwoko's personal money.

What is the nonsense noise about budget paddding?
The job of the senate is to review the budget and slash down or increase sections
of budgetary allocations it deemed fit.

Anyone against such should campaign for constitutional amendment so that the
president no longer need to present budget to the senate.

HarryGleb:
When will the army revenge over the killings of their colleagues in the north or are they afraid of northerners?

When did that happen and what is the village name?
Note, there is no village called "the North".

If you are referring to bandits, they have no village, they are nomadic raiders who resides in the forest.
Even at that, there was a recent revenge drone strike on a Kaduna village.

If you are still in doubt go and read Amnesty International report about the Boko haram war.
The details are quite gory.
Whether in the North or South, the Nigerian army uses crude collective punishment methods
when on revenge mission.

I am not justifying it, just debunking the 'bias' narrative.

Good.
Biden have been pretending there was no coup in Niger and he kept
giving aids to Niger even though it was illegal to provide aids to country under military dictatorship.

Now that Niger has cut the ties all by itself, the US drone base will be closed and the aids will stop flowing.

HugeElephant:


You don't need to threaten him.
He can spend the money and get away with it.
He can claim he was also expecting transfers from other sources.

The only thing they can do is wait till he has enough to refund them (if at all he wants to)
Individuals are responsible for wrong transfers and not the receiving account details.

He can get away with it if the transfer was made by an illiterate.
Since this is a supermarket in this case, then there is no getting away with it.
Even without using the extra-legal Nigerian factor(they will definitely use it), it won't end well if he spent the money.

You are partly right though, he may get away with it if he decides to stop using Nigerian banks permanently.

Namaster:
A prime example of the breed of ragamuffins that populate the Nigerian Police Force.

EXTREMELY rude and eager to abuse power.

Imagine refusing correction and insisting wrong is right in full view of the public.

In a system that works, this idiot would NOT have a job on Monday.

Please point out what is legally wrong in any of the police's statements.
Just one wrong statement is enough.

Don't leave Nigeria as a middle class and end up in the lowest class in your destination country.
If you must leave, make sure you get a stable job first!

kamez:



Get a star link decoder...for your mind now, you are making sense...
star link decoder is now 800k.

Did u ask the people that you are advising if they can afford star link plus at least 35k subscription monthly? Abi u just wan show yourself.

.funny thing is that I can bet my balls that u do not have and cannot afford star link

You must have a very limited exposure to complain about 35K subscriptions per month.
How much do you think heavy internet users pay per month on regular netwroks, 1K?

You see, the OP asked for options of which I provided a working one. If you can't afford it, you don't need to start beating about prices. Just like phones, you don't have to use iPhone 15 pro max, a low end Tecno may just do for you.
