You're correct but their real issue is that they are afraid to be self-dependent because they feel the South is far more advanced and they need 'one Nigeria' till they can catch up in terms of education, wealth, human devellopment ndex , industry, SME capacity, entrepreneural capacity etc.

@Topic. Impressive. I would even wish the North Discover more oil than the SS has so that, hopefully, their worthless leaders would develop their human resources instead of neglecting them so they become menaces to society through terrorism and banditry.

Wo many powerful points are made in this observation that I cannot think of anything to add.

Mattswaggz:
She's following in the footsteps of her C-in-C.....if he could,he would pardon her without hesitation instantly and give her appointment self.

She cannot qualify for any public office and big salary, if she refuses to repent like those captured Boko Haram terrorists seeking to make a "new start" in life that does not entail spending a single day in jail.

This is a highly detailed explanation that I only read part way, but all the same, any security innovation that works in any part of Nigeria is potentially a blueprint that other areas of the country can emulate.

Would it be possible for you to summarize the above explanation for the benefit of readers like me who have a short attention span?

The ISIS fashion show continues to break new ground by introducing auctions of artwork to their appreciative spectators. This is the kind of art auction the world has been waiting for.

Buhari deserves to be awarded a prize for empowering Fulani cattle herding terrorists and kidnappers to grab and squat on agricultural land all over Nigeria without paying a penny for it, while kidnapping innocent people for ransom with absolute impunity even when the victims are slaughtered after ransom has been paid.

Buhari should also be recognized as the terrorist supporter who introduced the Nigerian judiciary system to the concept of "repentance" that is ONLY available to convicted Fulani terrorists who can avoid ALL accountability for their murderous crime sprees, and even collect generous cash prizes in the form of "stipends", by declaring themselves as "repentant" cold blooded killers

This child molester, and all who think that his boastful crime is "normal", belong in jail alongside murderers, robbers, torturers and kidnappers.

Look at the leering face of this monster, and you are looking upon the face of pure distilled, demonic evil.

By openly delaring his satatus as a chronic sex offender and predatory child molester, this monster qualfies himslelf to earn a lenghty jail sentence under Nigeria's existing laws, yet for reasons about which one can only speculate, the criminal openly declares his guilt with obvious pride, for the whole world to see.

Perhaps the powers that be in Nigeria do not wish to be seen as opposed to crimes of this nature. If this is the case, then there exist SEVERAL international organizations whose mandates are endorsed by Nigeria, that should now be demanding the arrest of this hideous felon. To name a few, UNICEF ( United Nations Children's Fund), The Save The Children Fund, and the UN Committee on the Rights of Children, should break their silence and call for the criminal prosecution and jailing of this perverted pedophilic demon.

It is VITAL that sexual offenders who predate on innocent and vulnerable children MUST be brought to book for their crimes against humanity REGARDLESS of where the ofenders happen to reside on this green planet. Let the right thing be SEEN to be done, as an example to deter other similarly deranged individuals from committing copycat offences of thie grievous nature.

With the torrential rain that has been falling in most parts of Nigeria for the past month, and the fact that the kidnapped school children would not have been kept under any kind of shelter from the weather while also being subjected to the most inhuman forms of physical torture by their captors, a sad conclusion can be drawn that most, of not all of those kids died within two weeks of the day they were taken into that evil forest.

Note that there have been NO further video clips of those children posted online by the terrorists since those horrendous images of them being subjected to nightmarish brutality were posted online . With NO proof of life videos posted, a sad conclusion about the fate of those children can be made with a high degree of confidence.

If all the hostages are in fact dead, it is not surprising that the demons who murdered them might still wish to demand ransom money under the callous pretext that the victims are still alive. This is a pattern that has already been witnessed on multiple occasions in the Nigerian hellscape.

Dalohad:
I have 7 plots of empty land in my village and I love to invest in medical products at all levels.

My money is waiting.

Our law makers are being unnecessarily slow in coming up with the legislation they have been directed to draft, but it is certain that the momentum is in favor of legalization soon, whereby simply applying for a government permit, and complying with the relevant conditions, will open the door to the creation of great wealth for all Nigerians with access to fertile farmland. The moment of truth is close at hand.

gabbytabby:
It’s all about making money kwo nothing about the destruction to lives and society.

If Sowore is confirmed to have been advocating for legalising Cannabis then we have to find out who is sponsoring his degeneracy.

Maybe you should go and complain to General Marwa of the NDLEA that you are not happy with his decision to legalize a new multi-billion dollar medical marijuana industry for Nigeria, and that you wish to exchange blows with him to prove your point.

By the way, I would like to suggest that you cut down on your drinking of cheap booze, so as to preserve the few remaining brain cells that you have left.

Have a wonderful day, sir.

Curious345:
The United States had to call in an extra aircraft so they can evacuate the IT gadgets and phones and terrorists captured during that raid .

I am sure after checking through the phones and laptops , they found out that the terrorist were in active relationship with men at the topmost levels of government, judiciary , army , emirs , banks , oil and gas etc

Once Uncle Sam has identified the shadowy sponsors of Islamist terrorism lurking among the ranks of government officials, annihilating such vermin with surgically precise drone strikes, under what could be called The Somalia Doctrine, would be a routine culling exercise that might be selected in the event that Nigerian authorities display any hint of reluctance in administering final justice on such squalid characters.

Westves:
Lol, his latest comments are still him not breaking character. The innocuous assumption is that they view happenings in Nigeria through the unassuming lens of the working clime they reside in. Or, that they've never lived here. But it can be tough fully absolving them cuz more observant compatriots in the diaspora are present on this forum. At least, I know one, who thankfully sticks to more social /domestic deliberations

The other plausible explanation is twofold. There's a conspiracy theory that those who liquidated all their assets to emigrate beyond our shores will go any length to ensure the country never improves, as that would make their efforts, exile and sacrifice worthless

The second dark guess is that they're diehard beegots who virtually support any political party their tribesman represents, as long as they don't experience first hand the ineptitude of his actions and inactions. I recommend those who don't know where the shoe pinches focus their craft on entertaining their audience. Example, your prose describing a trip to the nude beach was magnificent

To give you benefit of doubt @jakumo, the Nigerian government NEVER does anything in our interests, ever. If you think cbd trade benefits the common man in the slightest way, I've got an airport to sell to you. I understand news outlets are your main avenue of keeping tabs with your motherland but I'd take whatever comes out of it with a pinch of salt if I were you. Our only saving grace is subverting/overhauling the joke of a system we're currently practising. Until then, all these shit reforms, bills and policies are just liturgical

My gratitude for your kind words notwithstanding, I'll have to pull you over and issue a citation to penalize the inaccurate generalization bolded in the closing paragraph of your response quoted above, Megida WestVes.

While it may be true that emergent Nigerian government policy is for the most part tailored to line the pockets of government officials while offering no tangible benefits for the common man, an ignominious end of cannabis prohibition in Nigeria offers the exhilarating promise of real, life-changing economic dividends that WILL trickle down the food chain to benefit the teeming rabble at the very least by virtue of myriad job opportunities that will open up in the cannabis industry as soon as the green light is given in Abuja.

From trained farm hands tending the new cash crop in vast greenhouse facilities, to laboratory technicians that will staff ultra-modern CBD distillation factories, to truckers transporting precious cargo to Nigeria's export freight forwarding warehouses, the "green gold" economic boom will breathe new life into Nigeria's waning fortunes at a time when crude oil, the nation's primary source of hard currency revenue, finds itself subjected to erratic fluctuations induced by armed conflicts raging in Ukraine and the Middle East.

So, my pellow kwantiri-mans, the legalization of a multi-billion dollar cannabis cultivation and export industry in Nigeria is a positive development that is long overdue, especially in light of its ideal suitability to the Equatorial climate, rich agricultural soil, and blazing tropical sun to be found in West Africa.

The Always Mighty, Ever Popular General Marwa, Nigeria's intrepid man of the hour, will NOT allow his explicit, destiny-changing cannabis industry directive to Nigeria's law makers to get shunted to the back burner. He will not allow the laziness of a few overfed political jobbers to slow down Nigeria's resolute march to capitalize on the billion-dollar revenue generation potential of a regulated and taxed cannabis industry in Nigeria. Watch this space for updates about this new age of prosperity that is about to dawn across Nigeria, from the desert to the restless churning waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

meobizy:
Like a joke, there are many members here based abroad. One quickly realizes when their submissions are analyzed. There are more present today than one will admit.

No be small ting, my pellow kwantiri-mans.

Let us raise a toast to The Always Mighty NDLEA boss General Buba Marwa , a visionary leader so far ahead of his time, who recognizes the phenomenal monetary value of a legalized, taxed and regulated medical marijuana industry that will revolutionize Nigeria's economy and create wealth beyond our wildest dreams.

Westves:
The guy sabi write and is witty but Idk whether he's naive as a result of not living in Nigeria and knowing how things work here, or whether he's that kind of pharisee stupid described in the adage, "rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of men". He follows it blindly, either cause he doesn't live here to experience it first hand, or cuz he's incapable of adjusting in light of reality to reach more pragmatic conclusions

Funny enough, he's widely exposed so he's already set in his blanket perspectives ie fatphobic, islamophobia (justified tbf), deepseated hatred for secession proponents, despises the poor and unemployed black bloke, etc. All concealed behind admirable literature. He can't see a nuanced view of anything. And if you're not discerning enough to distill both, you'd get carried away by the misconception that he's vastly knowledgeable regarding discourse at hand

Personally, Always sad to see sheer waste of writing prowess, not just from him but even across diverse media. I wish he'd stick to sections that don't require critical /analytical thinking. That way, his commentary can be savored devoid of annoying, blatantly ignorant takes

These thoughts you have expressed are appreciated, and I only take exception to your claim that I "despise" poor people, simply because I am myself a poor man, comparatively speaking. My car is twenty years old, which is the same age as the women I prefer to date, yet I have found that my penny-pinching miserly ways are not the deal breaker some might presume them to be, in man pikin's timeless quest for the fabled furry clam.

Anyway, I thank you for stopping by to revive this discussion thread, because the more this topic of cannabis legalization is brought to the fore, the more likely that those legislators who have been tasked with crafting new prohibition-ending laws might wake from their slumber and get to work so that Nigeria can join the nine other African nations currently reaping billions of dollars from the cannabis industry.

This bud's fer you sir.

engrfaruq:
Is it everybody that has the wherewithal to travel by air? Don't just assume that everybody lives as comfortable as you are.

Air travel was not required for this man to attend his conference, because he could have done so by video link. My comment was comparing the ease and safety of video conferencing to the extreme danger of road travel, especially in the kidnapper-infested northern Nigerian war zones.

The kidnapped and slain army general that made the news recently was attending a wedding, which entailed driving along roads KNOWN to be targeted by terrorists and kidnappers. That military man should have known that the pistol he was authorized to carry for self protection would be no match for a gang of men with assault rifles.

But for the grievous errors made by both these men to travel along perilous roads for frivolous reasons, they would both still be alive and free today.

Yorubaskullmine:
I don’t
It depletes the yoruba population and it’s a crime

But this means that a scholar like me who earned his doctorate in Pure And Applied Skullasticology will not be allowed to ply my trade.

How can that be fair?

Why must conferences be held in person when Nigeria is at war?

Why are people so resistant to conducting their meetings via video conferencing?

Why do otherwise rational people venture onto roads in the badlands of northern Nigerianistan?

Is it religious indoctrination that deludes people to think that PRAYERS before careless road travel are a viable substitute for common sense?

Saturnalia:
Pot calling kettle black. Some people in our Country travel to India and instruct their drug manufacturing partners to label 70mg tablets or expired drugs as 1000mg. They bring these drugs into the Country and distribute them to retailers all over the Country.

They also travel to China and import the lowest of the fake accessories and electronic parts and sell them off to their fellow citizens as genuine products.

They then go to Canada & Amerika (in collaboration with the Ghanaians) and break into Car Dealership Showrooms between 1am and 3am midnight to steal brand new luxury vehicles (like Bentley, Rolls Royce & G Guard), and then ship them to Nigeria and market them to unsuspecting customers. Go to the Nairaland Auto Section, Any advertisement of any brand new high end vehicles you see there are all stolen vehicles from North Amerika.

You might wonder where I’m going with this post? Ask yourself who these incorrigible criminal elements are? BIAFRANS!

Chai ! Wonderment ! Nnaaa, odikwa serious. Eziokwu!

Let us take a stroll down memory lane to 6 years ago, when Sowore engaged DSS officers in a "Show me di law" style fisticuffs in the court of law.

This little buffoon has been getting his asz whupped for many years haha. Enjoy the show y'all, because more is yet to come.

This moronic pastor has evidently forgotten that the Lagos to Ibadan expressway has ALREADY been the sit of NUMERUS kidnap ambushes over the past few years. Predicting something that has already happened numerous times makes as much sense as predicting that the sun will rise tomorrow, following which night will fall by approximately 7pm.

This "primate" is not unlike the lower primates called chimpanzees that reside in the forests of Gabon where they forage for food and make frightening noises.

Validated:
This one will leave those that beat him and be seeking relevance with Obi's name. What concerns Obi and Kwankwaso with your self inflicted predicament?

Sowore is akin to a lunatic seen ranting to himself while walking about trying to bite passers-by like a rabid dog that is yet to be captured.

Sowore should just go ahead and declare war against EVERYBODY, given that he has no other job than shadow boxing.

By the way, can anyone explain the significance of his amusing haircut sporting the shaved sides and rooster protrusion on top?

For some reason, Sowore's head, disfigured with that idiotic hairstyle, has always reminded me of a toilet cleaning brush.

Looking forward to hearing from any hairstyle fashion pontificators in the house.

femi4:
He ll go back very soon

Sowore enjoys being in jail. While he is behind bars, he fantasizes that he will emerge from prison like Nelson Mandela or Kwame Nkrumah, to become Nigeria's next Maximum Leader.

Sadly that fantasy never comes to fruition, which leads Sowore to again embark on more pointless protests in the hope of getting locked up again, so as to reprise his futile dream of becoming a head of state after "paying his dues" as a prisoner of conscience.

Thus the cycle of self-deceit continues over and over and over again, with the same predictable result of utter failure.

ElevationD:
He brought this upon himself. As a lawyer, he should have known better than treating the court with disdain? He should have known better than looking down on the judge. He should have known better than taking his initial bail for granted. Unfortunately this time, the judge chose to tighten the belt and ensure that he will not miss one day attending court with flimsy excuses, until the case is disposed off.

Again, looking at the weight of the matter, one wonders how Sowore can navigate around this case, knowing that he is a Presidential candidate and a direct opponent of Tinubu.

Lastly, people must mind their words, even in disagreements. I think some activists are beginning to learn the hard way. How do the likes of Kenneth Okonkwo and Adeyanju intend to prove their reckless claims against Mr. Peter Obi?

Career agitator Sowore has elevated clowning buffoonery to an amusing artform. This little man is an attention-seeking blowhard who suffers from severe delusions of grandeur. It is only a matter of time before he finds himself relegated to being a forgotten footnote of history languishing in jail like his role models Nnamdi Kanu and "Disco" Simon Ekpa.

delzbaba:
Skullership zone, many skullers here

I hereby award you a full Skullarship with no obligation to pay back by engaging in illegal skull mining or any ransom kidnapping business.

Your documents are in the mail. Best of luck with your new career. God breast Nigeria.

ngeneukwuewuGOAT:
The skull mining industry is really gaining momentum in the region

Haha gaining momentum. This is a serious development o. Chai ! Hold on, let me alert the United Nations General Assembly about this matter.

Yorubaskullmine:
I agree with you op. A state of emergency should have been declared in the south west long ago.
I am shocked that up until now this menace has not been nipped in the bud.

Can I take this to mean that you don't subscribe to illegal mining?

Violence begets violence. This incident should serve as a lesson to all teachers that it is morally wrong and potentially dangerous to attack any child with a stick under the guise of "discipline."

Many people might not be aware that a single impact of a slap of a cane can result in DEATH, if the person being struck happens to suffer from sickle cell anemia, because that trauma can lead to shock and death in seconds, when the person being hit suffers from that condition.

Teachers should also be aware that hell hath no fury as that of a parent whose child has been tortured in any way.

Let the fate of this teacher serve as a lesson to all, and may her violent soul rest in peace, if that is feasible given what she did to a child.
