naptu2: A pickpocket robs people in Lagos. The police arrests him. Someone said that the police should just shoot him. The policeman says that that will be against the law. The person replies, "Because robbing is not against the law"??

PresidentMUGABE: The Role of the Diaspora African in Sustainable Development
On Friday, July 10, 2026, I had the honour of delivering the keynote address at Mandela Hall, African Union Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations in New York, on _The Role of the Diaspora African in Sustainable Development across Africa.
Africa is a continent of immense riches. Indeed, it is the richest continent in the world, not only because of its vast mineral resources but also because of its greatest asset, its people. It is the second largest continent by landmass, after Asia, covering more than 30 million square kilometres. It is also the second most populous continent, with over 1.5 billion people. Significantly, more than one billion of these are young people in their productive years, making Africa home to the largest youthful workforce in the world.
When this demographic advantage is combined with nearly one billion hectares of arable land, about 60% of which remains uncultivated, it becomes clear that Africa possesses everything required not only to feed itself but also to become the food capital of the world.
Regrettably, despite this enormous potential, Africa remains home to the largest concentration of the world’s poorest people. Of the approximately 800 million people living in extreme poverty globally, nearly 60% are in Africa. That is about 480 million people, with Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo among the countries most affected. In other words, nearly one in every three Africans lives in extreme poverty. Likewise, in multidimensional poverty, Africa continues to bear the greatest burden.
The question, therefore, is simple. With all these advantages, why has Africa not been able to lift its people out of poverty?
It means there is a missing link. That missing link is Competent Leadership with Capacity, Compassion, Character, and Commitment to good governance.
What Africa needs is leadership that will rise to the challenge and drive the continent in the right direction. This means competent leadership with character, capacity, compassion and commitment to begin turning the continent around. When we get leadership right, everything else begins to change. We start realising our true potential.
So, what is the role of the Diaspora African in this journey? You have an enormous role to play.
Because you live in societies where institutions largely work, where democracy is strengthened by accountability and where systems function more effectively, you have both an opportunity and a responsibility to help build Africa. It is time to become stronger advocates for good governance. Even where you cannot vote, your voices matter. They should be heard both at home and abroad whenever things are going wrong on our continent. Stand firmly for what is right. Speak truth to the leaders who visit you. Let them know where they are getting it wrong. That is what some of us have continued to do.
The contribution of the African diaspora extends far beyond advocacy. History teaches us that many of the world’s great economic transformations were driven, in part, by their diaspora communities.
Japan offers one example. Following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the country embraced modernisation and benefited immensely from Japanese scholars, professionals and citizens who studied and worked abroad, especially in Germany, before returning home to drive the technological transformation for which Japan is admired today.
China presents another remarkable example. It was under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms, beginning in 1978, that China embraced education, innovation and global engagement. These reforms created opportunities for the Chinese diaspora to contribute significantly to the country’s extraordinary economic transformation. In 1980, China had more people living in poverty than Africa. Today, China has reduced extreme poverty dramatically, while Africa continues to struggle with the challenge.
China has less than 10% of the figure living in extreme poverty in Africa.
India also demonstrates what is possible. Its diaspora physicians and medical professionals played a significant role in developing a healthcare system that has made India one of the world’s leading destinations for medical tourism. Africa has countless brilliant doctors and healthcare professionals across the diaspora who possess the knowledge and experience to help achieve similar progress. What remains essential is the creation of an enabling environment that will attract them home.
To that end, I called on Diaspora Africans to remain actively engaged in shaping the democratic future of our continent. Their voices matter in advancing free, fair and credible elections across Africa. Elections conducted with integrity are the foundation of legitimate governance. They create the pathway to competent leadership capable of delivering the policies, institutions and opportunities our people deserve. When we create the enabling environment necessary for sustainable development, we start unlocking Africa's potential.
Let us therefore work together, those at home and those abroad, to build a continent defined not by its challenges, but by its achievements, its unity, peace and its shared prosperity.
A NEW Nigeria is POssible.
- PO
I already know it will be to his people. Very tribal champion. He no fit be president for Nigeria Sha. Amen In Jesus name.
Corrections: Nigeria will Never Prosper where criminals and corrupt politicians are allowed to move freely without JuSTICE being served. Some terrorists(known as bandits) will be given amnesty tomorrow while law abiding citizens are jailed for little offenses.
While children from a particular school is released today, children from another school may be KIDNAPPED tomorrow making everything look funny.
Is this how your Nigeria wants to prosper?
God is not the source of our problem we citizens are, we just refused to do the right thing.
So therefore, stop deceiving yourself!!!
You sound so bitter and pessimistic. May God heal your soul.
It was an overwhelming moment for the people of Ogbomoso home and abroad when the kidnapped orire school children and their teachers were returned safely by joint security forces Friday night. The town erupted in joy and wild jubilation as the people celebrate the return of the victims. This underscore the robust coordinated response and value placed on the sanctity and sacredness of human life in the war against terror, community response and collaboration with security forces as opposed to what obtains in the Northern and Southeastern parts of Nigeria. It's a great win. It's a new dawn in Nigeria! 🇳🇬
USA1975: As Nigeria debates the creation of state police, one important issue deserves serious attention: Who should head the State Police?
My view is simple: Every State Police Commissioner should be an indigene of the state he or she serves.
Security is not just about guns, vehicles, and uniforms. It is about understanding people, culture, language, geography, history, and local relationships. An indigene naturally has a deeper appreciation of these factors than someone posted from another part of the country.
Today, Nigeria operates a largely centralized policing system where intelligence and decisions flow from the top. This has not always produced the quickest or most effective responses to local security challenges.
A successful state police system should instead adopt a bottom-up approach:
- Community Security Units - Ward Police Commands - Local Government Police Commands - Area Commands - State Police Headquarters
Information should move from the grassroots to the state headquarters, allowing threats to be detected before they escalate.
An indigene serving as Commissioner is more likely to:
- Understand the local terrain and security hotspots. - Communicate effectively in local languages where necessary. - Build stronger cooperation with traditional rulers, youth groups, religious leaders, and community associations. - Improve intelligence gathering through trusted local networks. - Respond more effectively to conflicts rooted in local realities.
However, being an indigene alone should not be enough. The commissioner must also:
- Meet professional qualifications and experience requirements. - Have an unblemished service record. - Be confirmed through a transparent process. - Enjoy a fixed tenure protected from arbitrary removal. - Be accountable to independent oversight institutions to reduce political interference.
State police should not become the governor's private security outfit. It must remain a professional institution that serves the law and protects every resident equally.
If Nigeria gets the structure right, state police can significantly improve intelligence gathering, crime prevention, and public confidence in law enforcement.
Do you support making it a constitutional requirement that every State Police Commissioner must be an indigene of the state they serve? If not, what alternative would better balance local knowledge with professionalism and impartiality?
Must be from the state. Not negotiable. That's the definition of state police.
Somebody on Nairaland platform is trying hard to suppress opinions that promotes Nigeria. May all haters of nit perish in their bitterness and hate. Cc. @seunosewa

God has silence his traducers. They thought they can make political capital out of it but it backfires on them severely. O se oloun ti o ba oju wa je. Thank you God 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
IpobAntidote: Thanks to Tinubu removing the subsidy, states have more money to do more. Obi was Governor for 8 years and he could not build one single school from scratch. But he has the foresight to invest state money into a brewery in which himself and his family had financial interest. In China, he would have met his maker bu now. Mr China Chinese
Don't mind them, they keep celebrating failure as Messiah. ☹️

Your bank will contact you once step has been taken to recover your money. NB. It doesn't matter the amount.
Firstorderwizard: Right before our very face, France took all world class talents we get in Africa. Imagine Dembele and Kante in Senegal national team, imagine Mbape and Doue in Camerounian national team, imagine Oliseh and the US Seyi guy in Nigeria national team. African country for reach seni final if not carry the world cup
If they played for any of the Africa team they will still perform poorly
Social media is on fire after new videos of Cardi B and Nigerian Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye surfaced online, leaving fans with plenty of questions.
From the way they laughed and chatted to their relaxed chemistry, Nigerians have been sharing hilarious reactions. Some joked that they wished they could turn into a mosquito, a fly, or even be the wall beside them just to hear what the two were discussing.
Of course, that has sparked endless speculation online. Is there something special going on, or are they simply enjoying each other's company? For now, only Cardi B and Maduka Okoye know the answer—but that hasn't stopped fans from creating their own theories.
Watch the video and tell us what you think. Is this the start of something bigger, or is the internet reading too much into it?
