bewisemasses: The African Union needs to be more proactive in fighting terrorism in Africa and power houses in Africa like Nigeria shud be at d forefront of this fight, aiding smaller nations,but horrible leadership and corruption promax with this born to rule mentality just makes us a disgraced nation in d comity of nations. Worse still is d propaganda of d present regime trivializing very sensitive national issues. Nigeria wake up as d giant of Africa if not one day countries like Niger will overtake us and show us oppressive shege. Winning a physical battle is not only by size o Let's be wise
The few African heads of state who aren't already senile are junkies. Africa is in deep sh!t
malali: Wike should issue a public apology to the Nigerian armed forces. Its one thing for them to be protecting the looters
Its another thing for the looters to be calling you "Big Fool" to your face.
I hope Tinubu has the wisdom and wise counsel to demand a remorseful public apology from Wike for this singular act.
Wike crossed the red- line when he called a uniform commissioned officer "A Big Fool"
After the Officer had introduced himself and told him he was only taking orders.
That was when Wike crossed the line, Everything else can be forgiven.....But that statement "You are a big fool" I dont know how that Officer took it calmly.
If Tinubu doesn't make Wike apologize to that particular officer publicly. His whole government will be seen as a joke !! He has to step up as commander in Chief and demand Wike to offer a public apology. He has to be made to eat the humble pie. Everybody saw it the whole world saw it, the officers,the retired officers,the veterans, the rank and file....they all saw it. Tinubu has to move quick and move fast.
I commend the training they are giving these officers.
Wow....I gave you credit for more brains than this
press9jatv: “The Young Officer Has No Respect For Constituted Authority; This Is Unacceptable. His Uniform Should Be Removed Immediately” — Joe Igbokwe Reacts After Soldier 'Challenged' FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike In Abuja

Naija politicians wonder why they are not respected, forgetting that everyone in this country knows that they're all thieves, that the only thing they do is plunder the treasury...Wike in particular is known all over the country as a drunkard

Northern Nigerians respond to Donald Trump’s alleged warning about U.S. military action in Nigeria with a shocking message: “We are not killing Christians… we are all living together as one. But if the U.S. military invades Nigeria, our mosquitoes will fight back — your men will get malaria and fever!” 🦟💬
This viral statement has set social media ablaze, sparking debates about religion, unity, and foreign interference. Nigerians react passionately to the comments, defending their land and calling for peace and understanding among all tribes and faiths.
Is this a show of national pride or a dangerous provocation? 🕊️ Can unity truly exist despite ethnic and religious divisions? Watch till the end and share your thoughts in the comments!
Imagine the level of senselessness and stupidity in these people
I feel for Papa Ned, but his love for young pvssy is the reason for all these problems
Ideally Ned Nwoko should be married to Rita (Regina's mother) instead of Regina herself. He'd have been free from all this embarrassment if only he had regulated his sexual appetite like any responsible man, much more an old man of his age and social calibre
franchasng: That's why he needs more foreign loans, increased tariffs and hike in virtually everything that belongs to the federal government in order to raise more money for his reelection, it's not new, that's how he captured Lagos, he is replicating it on the national level but God will surprise him and his gang
He keeps telling the zombies to be patient and they keep grinning like deadheads
He's pissing on them and telling them it's rain (showers of blessings) 😁
ccollins: no you are wrong. U don't worship money because you are in Nigeria or in poverty.Only God who sent His only begotten son to save you and humanity deserves all the worship and glory.it is evil to worship money.you ought to worship only God
OlujobaSamuel: @op, you did the right thing, they are to collect your DL or original vehicle papers, if not available, they impound your car. They either give you a ticket printed out from their machine showing the booking details or they write it out on a booking log and tear out two copies for you which you present one at point of payment another at point of collection of the the item collected from you.
Most of those petty offences don't require them to impound your vehicle
If your offence is serious enough it will be stated clearly there on their schedule of penalties (the thing is online somewhere) that your car is to be impounded
Once they take down your driver's license details it's in your best interest to pay, otherwise the next bunch that stops you will see the outstanding fine and actually impound your car, or their computer will flag you when next you try to renew. And those crooks are not supposed to stop you unless they see a violation (e.g. cracked windscreen, broken lights, bad driving). They aren't allowed to randomly stop vehicles. That's why Ambode told them to get the hell off state roads, Ambode was the people's governor. He even restricted the greedy VIOs to their offices that time and hunger almost killed the b@stards
BluntCrazeMan: This happened to me in Awka, Anambra State. (Those officers didn't know that they met with a strong-headed but quiet somebody)
For those persons who know Awka very well, this thing happened at that Military Checkpoint which is very close to the ICC center, along the old road.
On this particular day in question, the FRSC officers were also operating near this Military Checkpoint in question. They usually do that on some days.
They stopped me for no obvious reasons, and I parked one side, so that I wouldn't be seen as disobeying the officers of an instituted authority while they are on their legal duty. They demanded for my papers which I gave to them, and they checked everything and gave the papers back to me.
They demanded that I opened my car boot (my car trunk). After they finished all their searchings and checkings (they even checked the spare tyres and jack and triangles), they later said that my Fire Extinguisher 🧯 has expired, that its pointer is not pointing within the green range on its indicator.
I said “Ok,, so what next”?
They started booking me (for the offence they said I committed). I stood there quietly and silently, and waited for them to finish.
(if the officer had taken me to the back of the car early enough, and wanted to settle my matter quickly, I might have considered settling myself with them there-and-then in order to be on my way as quickly as possible,, but since they have decided to waste my time on protocols, then I decided that we must do the protocols to the end, and they won't get any shii-shii from me -- whatever money I have to pay, it must be to the headquarters, and not to them again.)
After they finished wasting all my time while they booked me, they came and told me that I should pay ₦12,000.
I said “Okay”. I didn't even argue. He then said that I should pay to them so that they can help me and pay it for me.
That was when I started my own wahalla..
I said to them that I won't give them shii-shii.. I will pay the ₦12,000.. No Problems. But I must pay it directly into the FRSC Headquarters’ Bank Account.. AND NO TO THEM.!! The officer directed me to their oga.
I was laughing at all of them inside my heart.
Their oga said I should leave my vehicle there with them and go to any bank which is close-by, and that the bank will generate Remita code for me, before I can pay. He told me that it is usually long process, and that is the reason why they usually opt to do it for the people, so that they can lump all the money together at the end of the day and generate one Remita Code..
I now laughed-out.. I couldn't hold the laugh any longer. He asked me why I was laughing,, I just showed him my phone. I had already logged-in to the Remita App on my phone while he was still talking,, and I had even found the FRSC on the Remita App..
I told them that I will make the payment directly to the REMITA, and generate the receipt right in front of them, and go and find a printer anywhere, and print it out and give to them, and that the whole thing wouldn't even waste 15-Minutes.!!
The officer told me that it seems that I am a person of trouble.!! I told him “No oooo!!”
I then told him that before I make the payment, that I need to read the content of the document which they used to book me.. He gave it to me, and I finished reading it. I saw the offence they said that I committed, but I didn't see where they wrote any amount that corresponded to the offence. They didn't even write “₦12,000” on top of that document..
I asked him how he knew that my offence is equal to ₦12,000? I told him to write it on top of that booking document.. The rule I broke and the corresponding penalty to it,, then, a summation at the bottom which shows how much I should pay.
That was how I started teaching the officer how to book people properly for offences. He was visibly not comfortable that I had all the time in the world to waste with him.
I told him that: “it is either he gave me my own duplicate-copy of the booking document, or else I take a photograph of the booking, I would print out and keep inside my archive of payment-receipts -- which helps me whenever I am doing my financial audits”
He shouted “haaaaa.!! That one will be difficult ooo” I asked them whether it is also difficult for them to give me my own duplicate copy?? And they said “YES”,, that they don't usually give it out..
I was visibly enraged.. I asked them: “How can I be paying for something I don't even know how it came about, and yet, there is no evidence for me to keep -- which confirmed that I paid for such a thing??”
I now demanded for them to also show me the the book or booklet that contains the schedule or the rundown of all the possible offences that someone can possibly commit and all their respective penalties -- so that I can snap photos of them too, because I need to know all these offences and study them very well, so that I won't commit another offence again another day.
The Oga said to me,, Oga, please bring ₦3,000 and go your way abbegg.. I told him that I don't even have ₦500 cash on me.. But I can do the ₦12,000 to Remita, because it is wireless. They told me to go and do POS and give them the ₦3000 cash, but I refused. I had to tell them that they had wasted my time so much to an extent that everything must have to be fully done accordingly in accordance to the strict protocols, and therefore, let us do the whole protocols to the end.
I then told them that I also even needed to snap the photos of the document which they used to charge me,, and to also snap photos of their main book which contained the list of all possible traffic offences..
The next thing he said was: “Oga, come and be going abbegg.!!”
I was like,, “After you finished wasting all my time.?? What about the booking nko?”
They said that they will tear it., that it is no more necessary again.
I still pestered them further, that the reason they wanted me to go just like-that is because they wouldn't want me to know all the other hidden traffic offences, so that they will catch me another day.. I told them that they should get the document which contained all the traffic offences so I can have a look at it; but they told me that they didn't come to the field with it, that the document is at their office, that I can drive to their office and demand for it.
That was when I got back inside my vehicle, started my vehicle, and dropped one parting word for them: “This nonsense you people did to me is the exact reason why nobody likes to stop whenever they see you guys on the road.. This thing you are always do to people is the exact reason why a lot of people end-up seeing you guys as grossly unprofessional in your dealings with the people,, and it is too baadd..”
AND I DROVE OFF,, AND LEFT THEM..!!
What pained me most (after I left there) was that I didn't even take time and look around chests and shoulders of those officers to see whether I can get their names and their service numbers..
It would have made it very easy for me to report them to their headquarters, without having to waste too much time in explaining their identities..
Assuming that I ended up paying that ₦12,000 on Remita, I would have vehemently insisted on taking the photographs of both the original booking and the duplicate copy which is supposed to be my own,, and I will find @FRSCNigeria on Twitter and on all social media, and even their Official Email Address, and I will continue to send them messages -- until someone responds to me.
That day was almost totally wasted for me. I spent like two hours there,, arguing back-and-forth with them.. The experience was so bad.!!
It even turns out that many Nigerians are suffering exactly the same thing in the hands of FRSC Officials... And some of them have come up here on Nairaland to tell their own stories too.. See an example inside the thread below.. 👇🏾 👇🏾 https://www.nairaland.com/7702932/ordeal-frsc-officers-car-fire

MY DEAR FELLOW NIGERIANS,, AS YOU ARE READING THIS EXPERIENCE OF MINE, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE REMITA APP RIGHT NOW, AND ACTIVATE IT IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN NEXT THE FRSC OFFICERS HOLD YOU DOWN ON THE ROAD FOR ANY TRAFFIC OFFENCE -- (EVEN BEFORE THEY START BOOKING YOU) -- JUST TELL THEM IMMEDIATELY THAT YOU HAVE REMITA ON YOUR PHONE, AND THAT IT IS THROUGH REMITA THAT YOU MUST PAY ANY OF THE PENALTY THEY WOULD BOOK YOU FOR; AND THAT YOU WILL GO AND PRINT THE RECEIPTS OF THE REMITA-PAYMENT FOR THEM TO USE AND CONFIRM WITH THE ABUJA HEADQUARTERS. AND THEN, ALSO INSIST THAT THEY MUST BREAK DOWN ALL THE FEES OF THE PENALTIES FOR YOU, AND GIVE YOU A COPY OF THE BREAKDOWN..
WITH THAT, THEY WILL HANDLE YOUR CASE IN THE MOST ORGANIZED AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER..
Now imagine they were armed...you'd have had a completely different experience
I think every Nigerian knows why they are lobbying the house assembly to give them guns....

Share Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has sought parliamentary approval to place sanctions on the Republic of Niger and mobilise the military for a possible intervention should the junta not respond to the conditions sought by the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS).
The belated letter comes after Nigeria had already cut the electricity supply of its northern neighbour, a move which sparked anti-Tinubu protests on the streets of Niamey with demonstrators holding posters and banners which read ‘Ebola Tinubu’.
Asking permission On 4 August, Tinubu sent a letter to Senate president Godswill Akpabio seeking approval to deploy soldiers to enforce ECOWAS resolutions, in accordance with Section 5 of the Nigerian Constitution which states that the head of state must seek consent from parliament before sending troops abroad.
In his letter, Tinubu seeks support to close all land borders with Niger and begin “border drill exercises”.
He informs federal lawmakers of the ‘military build-up and deployment of personnel for military intervention to enforce the compliance by the military junta in Niger should they remain recalcitrant’.
Tinubu also reveals his plans to embark on media sensitisation in order to gain the support of the Nigerian people, and informs parliament of a blockade of goods in transit to landlocked Niger.
Diplomacy fails Tinubu’s letter contrasts with his diplomatic move just 24 hours earlier when he despatched a delegation led by former Nigerian military head of state General Abdulsalami Abubakar to meet with Niger’s military junta to accept the ECOWAS conditions – including the unconditional release and reinstatement of ousted President Mohamed Bazoum.
However, the Nigerien junta announced the expulsion of ambassadors from Nigeria, Togo, France and the US with immediate effect. It also asked the US and France to withdraw their troops from the country immediately.
Reports say the delegation was not able to meet with the head of the junta, General Abdourahamane Tiani, or with ousted President Bazoum.
In an article published in the Washington Post, Bazoum described himself as a hostage and called on the US government and the international community to ‘help us restore our constitutional order’.
He said the allegations levelled against him by the military junta were false, adding that the insecurity in the poor nation had reduced significantly since he took office in 2021.
The ousted president further stated that since Niger depends on foreign aid to implement 40% of its budget, the sanctions slammed on the country would worsen the plight of the people.
Time is ticking With only two days left for the ultimatum issued by ECOWAS to expire, all eyes are on the leader of the sub-region, Tinubu, and the military junta led by Tiani to see who blinks first.
A leaked military memo revealed that an offensive may be launched from Sokoto, a northern state in Nigeria that shares borders with Niger.
However, sources tell The Africa Report that the military has returned to the drawing board following the leaked memo.
