Army confirms arrest of social critic, Justice Crack; accuses him of inciting soldiers to create discontent within the system

The Army has no power to arrest a civilian. At least, not when there's no declared state of emergency/war. They should have reported him to the police or DSS.
LiteratureRe: Wole Soyinka Mounts Okada In Abeokuta (Video) by JuanDeDios: 6:18pm On May 02
franchasng:
He consistently criticized every other President of Nigeria that was not Yoruba by tribe. Tinubu came out for President in 2023, Prof Wole Soyinka who know every damn thing about Tinubu's dirt and corrupt life even as a Lagos state dictator refused to say anything negative about Tinubu but had the gut to say many negative things about Peter Obi who did him no wrong just because he was not a Yoruba man.


The same Wole Soyinka refused to do his normal criticism of Tinubu's regime just as he does for past Nigerian Presidents and their regimes when they fail Nigerian people's expectations. Can't you see the clear tribalism and chauvinism in his ways being exposed by old age and egunje?
Bolded is a fair point - although saying he did it for egunje is ludicrous and saying he did for tribe is subjective. What if he genuinely believed Mr Tinubu would make a good president and Mr Obi would not?

The rest of your post is subjective. For example, Mr Tinubu has never been convicted for corrupt practices, so how do you know Mr Soyinka knows he's corrupt? And how are you sure Mr Soyinka saw anything dictatorial in how Mr Tinubu ran Lagos and what if he thought Mr Obi was a bad governor?

SportsRe: South Africans Criticise Paschal Ekeji For Wishing Them Happy Freedom Day by JuanDeDios: 11:19pm On May 01
naptu2:
This South African man explains why some black South Africans are angry at what the NFL did.

He said that black South Africans were told during Apartheid that there was a hierarchy, whites were the superior race, then Asians, then coloureds and then black people. However, they were told that they shouldn't worry that there were 3 classes above them because black South Africans were superior to other Africans.

He said that this is the origin of the hate against other Africans.

Possible. But MTN does run out at a faster rate than other networks. I've checked.

When I moved into a new apartment and found that my other network's reception wasn't so bad, I made it my primary means of surfing and downgraded MTN to backup. That saved me some money.

From the link you posted:
Silchuk said on Friday that conditions have improved since the issue came to light. “There’s a new commander,” she posted. “He rang us and said the situation is being resolved. And it really is. My husband wrote to me that he’s just eaten more than he has in the last eight months.”

She added: “The lads are eating little by little at the moment. Their stomachs have shrunk, and they don’t know whether they will have food tomorrow or not. I believe this situation needed to be publicised. There needs to be a rotation; the boys require medical treatment.”

Ukraine’s military command said it had launched an investigation. “It should be noted that recently another shipment of food was delivered to the position of the 14th Infantry brigade. If favourable conditions exist, an immediate evacuation of our soldiers will be carried out,” it added.


Shame on you your mass-murdering dictator.

😂 😆 😂 😆.
Actually, no matter what you do in governance, some people must feel oppressed rightly or wrongly.
Eg , people that build under power line extensions without leaving the required space would also feel oppressed, and that is wrongly. Where they have a point would to the sellers and government agencies that granted approval or took bribes and turned the blind eye, etc
Well, I've listened to the Makoko folks and they rightly fell oppressed. Same with the other community Sanwo-Olu attacked before Makoko - can't recall its name.

You should follow his trajectory.
He helped streamline Govt activities as commissioner for Science and technology. He has been a working and active deputy, not all those glorified ones. He started the digitisation of Schools entire learning process in Lagos and many more.
I only circumspect on his personae in headline governance but we shall see
Ok. I just hope he doesn't borrow a leaf from Akinwunmi Otodo-Gbame Ambode and Babajide Makoko Sanwo-Olu and start oppressing the poor.
PoliticsRe: Tunji Disu Returns To Lagos RRS by JuanDeDios:
Mr Disu did some really good work in RRS. It has to be said. He's one Nigerian police officer you don't hear anyone say bad things about. I think one reason he was so successful at RRS is that he cared about his men. So as IG, I hope he addresses the issue of officers' welfare - as there's a widespread perception within the force that all the IGs since 1999 (apart from Tafa Balogun) could not be bothered. The Pension Reforms they're currently clamouring for would be a good place to start. I know it's in President Tinubu's hands, but there's a lot the IG can do to make things happen.
PoliticsRe: Tunji Disu Returns To Lagos RRS by JuanDeDios: 9:03am On Apr 28
The Operation Sweep model was also copied by several other state milads. The ones in places like Edo and Delta were credited with bringing down the crime rate - but allegations of extrajudicial killings were also not far off. They were sometimes reckless, after all. There was a case in Benin where they targeted one foolish robber in a crowded market. Yes, they got him, but that was reckless, shooting someone in a place full of civilians.

There were also rumours on the streets. The rumours claimed that Operation Sweep soldiers killed a lot of innocent people. I never saw any evidence of this, but the rumours were persistent.
Well, there was a particular case of two brothers (or was it 3 friends) who were killed at - I think it was a traffic stop. Marwa later visited their family, I think. It was a widely reported case then, but I've forgotten all the details.

Investment AdsRe: Ladda Launches Savings Platform To Help Nigerians Earn Up To 20% Annually by JuanDeDios: 7:40am On Apr 28
Visagemedia:
Ladda is a Savings and Investment app. We are covered by Zitra license that is registered by SEC.
You earn 20% per annum for a year.

- Emergency savings
- ⁠Presto savings (which is upfront interest received)
- ⁠3 months/6months/9months/1 year savings.
- ⁠Treasury Bills which is backed by the government.


For the emergency savings you can get 15% on it and can access it within 24 hours.
For the upfront savings you get 16.6% and it is locked in for 1 year. So if you invest 1 million now, you will get N166,000 immediately upfront.
For Treasury Bills you will get 17% per annum and it is backed by the govt.
Hmmm. Sounds really good.
