If government is the one dealing with drugs, it's legal, but once you do it, it becomes illegal. Government of selfishness. If government exports oil, it becomes legal, but if you do, it becomes illegal. If you buy a land from the government it becomes legal and yours, but once oil or natural resources is discovered on your land, it becomes illegal and no longer your land. Ask yourself where Are they taking all these drugs they seize? Dey play
Government is just a group of people using the security to enrich themselves
Arrant nonsense, why not condemning those guys who has been given Nigeria bad name. Abi na because na your brothers.
EmperorCaesar: Your unbelief wont change the reality of things
The world is bigger than your belief system, Kachi
But he believe the Ibadan stampede. Home of billionaires and their mothers died of some mudu of rice not even a 50kg bag of rice. Moral lesson, don't rejoice over ones downfall cos you don't know, what await you. Rip to the victims. Tinubu open the border cos local rice producers can't meet the demand of rice consumption in the country. Rice is the most consumed food in Nigeria.
seunmsg: Oga Peter Obi and other obidient minors, oya come and cry about Tinubu as usual. Come and tell us how it was poverty that led to the stampede.
Those idiots rejoicing and politicizing the Ibadan incident as evident of Yoruba poverty can now hide their faces in shame. This is Anambra, the billionaires capital of SE and people are killing each other over mudu of rice.
That is how you know witches and wizards. They were rejoicing. Children were reported to have died in Ibadan stampede but Anambra stampede victims are all full adults with their children audio billionaires. Let Tinubu open the borders cos even local rice is as cost has the smuggled foreign rice. Rip to the victims. Evil tribe.
TimeManager: There are times we need to raise above the lows and don't go lower with those throwing the first mud. This is a very unfortunate incident, we should rather commiserate with the families. Those unfortunate trolls mudslinging SW over the ibadan incident can now see that life is unpredictable. May the deceased rip and God comfort their families.
-Kiss the truth!
The audio billionaires like that so called madam Vanessa has gone mute. He tribalizes the Ibadan incident and didn't know one will take place in her region. Others igbos who were rejoicing about the Ibadan stampede are now in shame cos those affected in Anambra are even adult. I sympathise with the bereaved families. Honestly, let the president open borders cos the closed by Buhari in encouraging local rice farmers has been defeated. Local rise that was so suppose to be cheap, even became so high. Open borders and let there be proper competition.
PressMyButton: Reforms means change, change from the old order. Improvement is the end product of a reforms. Go school u no gree.
You are very right. Most of this guys didn't have proper secondary school. Common sense should have enabled him knows that reform, means change and as you rightly put it, that the end of the changes is improvement. They only way I blame Tinubu was that, he failed to invest massively on electricity. A stable and almost 24hrs electricity in all part of the country will reduce the hardship as a result of subsidy removal.most companies and small scale businesses like saloon depend on fuel. Companies using power supply from electricity will lower their cost price cos the cost of fueling is so high now.
Sobalim: It's the turn of the south and moreover Nigeria needs a conservative and competent person as president by 2027 so it should be Peter Obi and Kwankwaso. They are good enough to remove the calamity in Aso rock presently
Obi has nothing to offer. Awka and Onitsha were abandoned by him as governor. Visit those places and see huge difference.
It shows you people don't really have shame. In every hundred drug peddler caught, ninety eight are from your region. Keep justifying rubbish. How I wish every other continent can be Asia.
U people have done it again n if these south Africans talk now u will start blackmailing them by calling them xenophobic
Y are u people like this for crying out loud?
Nigerians are tired of your madness at home, even foreigners arent spared of your criminality
Atuero shame no dey catch u, 1.3 million of your brothers are in only India jail with more adding to it everyday n u went to bring a picture of 1949....
Zhike, RandDigital,lioness5280 the same way u are tired of these people is d same way we are tired of them too but we don't have option, the most annoying thing is that they don't condemn crime n they don't see it as a big deal
U people will only have peace when u start k**ing them
Any people that worship money are like that. If you have been or stay in igboland, you will understand better. They don't care how you make it. They are only the place in Nigeria were you can buy kingship, even when you are not from a royal house. I wonder how Biafra will look like. Make them give dem and let me see how foreign countries will just be denying them entry. The funny thing, one of their useless elder was asking Tinubu to help release them from prison in foreign land.
LegendHero: Bro if na Nigeria some foreigner dey commit this crime these guys are committing, we self go don do xenophobia. I no even fit blame South Africans at this point.
For every drug trafficker caught, they’ve destroyed countless lives coz when you get addicted to drug, that person is minus to society.
They now sell to underage, the secondary school children. Why the south africans won't kill them. They are quick to say they are jealous, what are the south africans jealous of what. Do Nigerian's invent anything they have not seen before. Igbos are spoiling the name of Nigeria in drug matters.
yoruboid: The real surprise would have been if they were from anywhere asides the usual five plots
Why xenophobic attack will not happen to igbos cos i cant say Nigeria cos in South Africa, they are mostly involved. When you visit south Africa you will know better. When you see their brothers on nairaland screaming south African are bad and calling them all manners of name, just know they are involved in drugs dealing.
Olat4421: nonsense for something that was sell for 197 per litre barely a year plus ago . U called dis good news, tinubu has successfully reset ur brain, was dis not d same man that was one of d leading protester when Jonathan increased d fuel price from 65 to 147 that time, b4 Jonathan later reversed to 97, nw since he enter d same price has jumb from 197 to 1000 plus d highest in Nigeria history and we are here celebrating it at 907 at his regime hmmm
Common sense didn't tell you that, there is no longer subsidy.
oyeb15: The fall of Dangote group will signal d rivival of Nigeria economy.
Hes is d arrowhead of Nigeria industrial complex, the establishment who feast on Nigeria economy.
Foolish talk, did Dangote stop anybody from your place to build a refinery. Since over 20 years, licenses were granted to some person with oil well and none of them could build a refinery and you are there saying rubbish. BUA is building in Akwa ibom.
Essence22: At least someone has sense in that chamber
Kudos to him cos i expect one of the so called messiah party to raise this kind of sensible matter not busy decamping. In a bid for presidency from the east, igbos Obidients who were desperate sold us rotten mangoes from top to bottom. Thank God that illegal deputy governor of Edo state under Obaseki didn't win the house of rep, even when some of us supported as a young man to make difference. He would have end up like that Oredo rep guy. Someone who last year, criticizes Obaseki for neglecting our LGA during campaigns but still went to aslick him.
OkpaNsukkaisBae: Very intelligent contribution. Where are the LP elected legislators in NASS? Seeing that LP preached reducing the cost of governance in the last election?
In 2027, top to bottom will only happen in the east cos those products they gave us are useless. Last election, Edo north and Edo central didn't have any elected labour party members in any position but Edo south were the ones who carry Obidients movement for head like gala and am sure they are enjoying their candidates now. If them like in 2027 let them be Obidiently and do top to bottom again. We were not carried away in our zone. Look at that young man, the voted in Oredo and he just decamped to Apc and the senator representing them is nothing to write about.
kayperry: And who should we mind, the evil useless old man in aso rock full of deciet n evil,
If he what about trend, he could have supported tax reform bill But the young man choose the side of Nigerians.
if portable can trend we dont mind our politicians trending to foster national interest ... ode between fork n knife vs rep bogus allowance which one is feasible to let go for those rogues
You people's should be sensible for once. All this has been happening since 1999. He didn't just start now.
He spoke well, what a brilliant young man. Wasted show be cut off. Presidency, national assembly and ministers budget should be once in four years with scrutiny. Most of them will not use their personal money if they were not voted or appointed to buy all those things, every year. Nigerian's drive cars for years with major fault.
MadPolitician: Under Tinubus government, we are buying a cock for the same price we bought a goat under Jonathan, and agbadorian dingbats and their tribal henchmen want us to beleive that Tinubu is much better than Jonathan!
The mess Nigeria is today, Jonathan contributed. Under is tenure, the country withness the second highest oil boom in the history of Nigeria after babaginda time and critical infrastructure were not given attention, like refinery, electricity and roads. Corruption was so high compared under Obasanjo. Ask yourself why things were cheaper under Obasanjo and it became higher under Jonathan. If you say Buhari was unable to manage the economy that was not too good under Jonathan, i will agree. do you know, immediately Buhari became president, many governors across all parties when to Buhari for bailout. Many state could not pay salaries. The level of corruption under Jonathan was mind blowing. He didn't save and when some governors notice of depletion of the thier joint savings, they challenged him and won in supreme Court for sharing of the remaining cash. Governors like Fashola, Ameachi and Oshiomole utilizes their own with projects to show for it. Yaradua of blessed memories could have done far better and surpasses Obasanjo.
RevDesm0ndJuju: Enugu city Water tanker cartel are very powerful and connected.
They won't sit down and see an end to their hustle.
I wonder why the successive governors can't solve this issue . Every core northern stare does not take water supply issue lightly and invest heavily in it to the point that water supply is subsidised because their governors know the fallout of water scarcity .
The problem in Enugu is pure exploitation with a public that can be exploited for financial gain.
Nobody is powerful more than the government. Maybe successive governors and the current one all have tankers too.
jmoore: Some of you make ridiculous posts and add emoji to it.
1. I said the governor should do his job and you are saying he will turn coal to water. Are the private people supplying water turning coal to water?
2. There are Ekulu, Asata, Ogbete, Aria, Idaw and Nyaba rivers in Enugu state. Water can be sourced from these rivers and be treated in a water treatment facility before distribution to homes. Second option is to pump water from River Niger from Anambra to Enugu water treatment plants.
3. Boreholes can still be drilled in terrains like Enugu where coal poses a challenge. But it's expensive. Government has the money.
Embrace education and stop shouting 'kiss the truth' at the end of your ridiculous comments.
All the governors don't want to spend money but they forgot that when you construct dams and lay pipe to every part of the state, you can fix a price. Water board in all state used to function, until lazy governors couldn't managed them but instead prefer to sink boreholes and the most annoying part, is when a governor will travel far from the government house in the state capital to commission boreholes. Am even surprised you mentioned some area with rivers in the state and over the years, past governors and this current one could not profer solution.
WeddingParol: Enugu water issue is becoming an eyesore.
Every time I hear people making irrational excuses for government claiming the coal, rocks, yen! yen!! yen!!! are the reasons Enugu don't have good and steady water, I get very annoyed. Even the water from the tankers are so dirty and expensive.
Even 9thmile with good water source don't have a functioning government water supply.
That is how you know failed people. Are they saying all the towns and villages are all filled with coal. Of course is a big no, there must be some villages or towns were there are big rivers. Let the government construct dams with treatment facilities and lay pipe from the water source to across the state and fix a price. All the governors who as govern the state to this current one are brainless. What is now the function of ministry of water resources in the state. There are technocrat over there, let the governor seek for their opinions. Since my secondary days, Enugu student back then, have always being complaining of lack of water
Xisnin: I see where your confusion comes from. It is common with laymen trying to simplify statistics.
Total amount spent and average amount spent was released. Note the word in bold.
You have no idea how much a random person from the sample actually paid. I shouldn't be doing this but here is how it works in case of other readers. For instance, a rich chief could have paid 100 million Naira for his release, while a farmer paid 1 million after contribution from family members. Their average is 50.5 million. The funny thing, none of them paid anything close to the average.
If the average salary of a company worker is 100K, it doesn't mean all the workers earn 100K each. No. Some workers could be earning 1 million while others 20K per month. That should be clear enough.
So you cannot use average and total to get the original number of samples(kidnap incidents in this case). We have not brushed the fact that the reported "Total" itself is a sample of the actual numbers since not every victim will make a report.
No, you can't as I explained above.
Even your secondary teacher, even if they had a college degree is likely the inferential statistics here. It may be confusing finding out that the stats interpretation you surely think you knew from secondary school is actually garbage. Don't beat yourself up, even PhDs do struggle with statistics.
Stop embarrassing yourself with this nonsensical questions. It would have made sense if you know what you are talking about but just like the "average person", you have absolutely no idea.
Stop disturbing and wasting your time answering that guy. Even at that, most kidnapping cases in Lagos are by igbos. Go through all kidnappers caught since last year to date, you will understand better. You hardly see any crime, committed in Lagos where an igbo person is not involved. Am sure they didn't forget the recent attempted kidnapping in ladipo. Am not saying is only them but they shouldn't justify the east as safest when many of them are committing various crimes in other zone.
Real billionaires with valid business not audio billionaires with questionable wealth. The so called youngest billionaire on Forbes some years ago was later caught last year or so, as a yahoo boy. Most of this under 30 or early 30 are yahoo boys. Ogunlesi is dominating in USA and UK. He is the owner of Gatwick airport and others.
Bizaustine: We have always sounded it hard to the ears of Apc zombies happy slaves.
The Monday sit at home is a day the people have set aside as face off between the FG security and the UGM. It's a shame the FG security has not been living to expectations. The UGM openly challenge them by coming out to enforce it,the FG security should take it as an opportunity to crush the UGM.. The FG security appears helpless when this bastard killers strike, but you expect unarmed civilians to come out and get in the middle of a shoot out between 2 armed adults?
Plus sit at home oo Plus Tinubulation o Plus UGM oo Plus ipob oo
Se is the safest Region in Nigeria.
It is the foolishness of you people to sit at home out of fear that made ipob members to continue thier atrocities. So until FG security killed those terrorists, you people will still be sitting at home on Mondays. Una too fear joor. It can't happen in south south or south west, when someone not even in Nigeria will be directing and commanding alot of people with few of his boys to kill people. Seyi makinde went so hard on those so called Yoruba agitators. Sunday Igboho was taught a lesson.
jmoore: Obedient movement is different from Labour party.
Obi can create a new party and have millons to support him.
So make una rest your bla bla bla.
Clowns that don't know the meaning of opposition want Obi to invade Aso Rock with armies.
He will not have the kind of support again. Only south east will still throw maximum support cos we understand that. He have shown, he has no leadership capacity. Youths who stood and the religious political campaign will not work again.
