1 sense wailers dont have, show me anywhere in the world that the press is allowed to interview rape and abducted victims .... if it was your sister or daughter will you agree? if there identity is known will you marry such ladies ? lets be sensitive abeg. if you insist its still scam then may such scam happen to your loved ones . shikena

But their pictures are everywhere. What is there to hide again?

JideAmuGiaka:
"He collapsed on the corridors of the courtroom and a medical team came in an ambulance to take the body away".



Where were these medical team when he was fighting for survival to revive him, only to surfaced immediately he died to take his body away.

Guy, even when you call 911 or 999 in advanced countries, it takes a moment for the medical team to arrive. Medical teams don't follow every individual about in their day to day activities, everyday.

Khd95:
the report says feared dead or fatal, it has not been confirmed that he's dead,u son run type RIP

those standing nd watching can they try to bring the driver out thru the door facing up,nd not just stand nd watch.

no rescue attempt yet story is already online... I weak for naija

But fatal accident means that somebody died. There's a problem with the reporting too.

Segadem:
so by your statement above, it means that the kidnapped school girls were kept in an open space? Haven't you heard that Sambisa is 16 times bigger than Lagos state? Baddo and his gang terrorize Lagos for how many years, how long did it take Nigeria police force before the man was caught? How much more the more organized group who has the backing from the within and outside the country, the terrorist group that was rated as second in the world
The group that has mole in national Assembly, the group that has mole among the military before any attack on them they know "where, how, and time"

Did Badoo keep over 200 girls in a comfortable house feeding them? You need a massive house/houses to keep such a large number of people together. How come nobody knew about it, neither the army, police or even the locals? It then shows you that BH enjoys the cooperation of northerners including members of the state governments, military and police

Remember the army told us they have run over BH and cleared them completely from Sambisa, and they can only do hit and run attacks. Does it then mean Sambisa isn't that important to BH? Then why does everyone keep saying the military has taken over Sambisa, as if it had anything to do with continuation of BH activities?

Segadem:
[size=10pt] hmmmm, that's what you believe it is, Boko haram has financial backing within and without the country, they have over 2,000 comrades which they feed daily, do u think a poor organization can afford that? Even some years back they have sophisticated weapons which our minitry can not boast of then, and according to report they have 24hrs constant electricity (power by solar energy) they have access to cable TV stations around the world, even many of us who live in city can not boast up to 30% what these people possess in terms electronic gadgets.
[size]do u still call it a forest?

So where are they based? I thought military has been bombing their camps, showing us currency notes, drugs, condoms, Qurans, arms, ammunitions etc which they took over from their site. These amazing houses with 24hours power, cable TV etc are located where? How come the military or police haven't located those houses?

fatymore:
Uhm... Obasanjo with 2 abokis had a meeting... None from the East.. Is there no notable politician from the east... Just asking ni oooo...
It unfair to the igbos

It has nothing to do with ethnicity. They are all past presidents/heads of state. There isn't no living past head of state of Igbo origin.

kikake:
But even a ram from northern Nigeria must win Peter Obi in Nigeria's presidential election.

With 19 states +Abuja proliferated by northern soldiers in one northern region; with a provision that says a presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 2/3 of 36 states ( that is, 24 states), every northern candidate can easily win 25% in the 19 states of north, then look for 5 states in the south to win to become president; easy.

But with only 17 states allowed in the divided south, no southern candidate can win the presidency, unless northern politicians decide not have the presidency remain in the north.

Nigeria's political structure created by north is a fraud.

Land mass is not used as yard stick to create new federal units from the old units in a federal country where distinct groups came together to form a country.

If Nigeria's states were created democratically, there should have been more states in the two southern regions than in the one northern region.

You're not totally right. The North Central zone consisting of Kwara, Niger, Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa and Kogi isn't typically North. The only state there that is very much like the core North is Niger State. However, Taraba which is in the North East is much like the rest of the North Central States.

So what a southern Candidate needs is to get the support of North Central which is easy, then add Taraba and FCT to it and boom!

Nowenuse:
You are very wrong because first of all, the data was taken based on state of origin and not state of jamb registration. So at the end of the day Jamb registration of south-west origin beats South-east origin.
The number of states make no difference to the yoruba and igbo populations.

And if you want to argue thay Igbos are also found in Delta and Rivers state, remember that Yorubas are also found in Kwara and Kogi states.
At the end of the day, Yoruba origin jamb registration would still be slightly ahead of Igbo origin jamb registration.
Ebonyi state is probably the state dragging Igbos backward.

You may be right about the state of origin thingy. I didn't think of that, but that still doesn't cancel out the fact that the South West has 6 states while the South East has 5. Absolute population of the SW is higher than the SE. Igbos have never argued that they are more populous than Yorubas.
The average state enrolment for the SE is over 11,000 more than that of the SW. That's what will matter more to a statistician.
Moreover, a difference of less than 60,000 more enrolments over 7 years isn't a big deal, you know. Also, never forget that the SE recorded more enrolments in 2012 to 2014. It means that if the analysis had been done for only 5 years starting from 2012 to 2016, the difference might not have been significant.

YonkijiSappo:
I told those mumus that more Yoruba youth were entering universities than Igbos, they were yarning okpata to me.
Even the SW states have a higher admission rate than any zone in the South. The only states that have a higher admission rate are those designated as educationally disadvantaged states, that have reserved spots, for the sake of equity.

If Kwara state was in the South East, it would rank ahead of Abia, a state with more people.

You lack comprehension of what you read, and you're far from being analytical in your reasoning.
When figures are not analysed in proportions, it makes understanding complex.

To start with, the South East has only 5 states as against the 6 states of South West. For SE to have 2.59 million compared to 2.65 million enrolments of SW shows that relatively, SE has better enrolment. This is clearly seen in the average for the SE which came to 74,093 candidates for the 7 years compared to 63,017 candidates for the SW. Let me explain it better to you. It means that in the 7 years analysed, an average of 74,093 candidates registered for JAMB in each of the 5 SE states in each year compared to the average of 63,017 candidates in each of the 6 SW states. It means an average of 11,000+ more candidates registered for JAMB in each SE state compared to each SW state.

You may want to tell me that the total number of enrolments is higher in the SW than SE. Even though there are about 60,000 more enrolments in the SW than the SE over the 7 years considered, have you forgotten that the population of the SW is more than the SE? Are you guys not the ones accusing Igbos of running away from the SE to settle in the SW? So despite having a significant proportion of Igbos in all other geopolitical zones, we were still able to pull that figure. I can bet you that 10-20% of the figures you have for all the other geopolitical zones purely consist of Igbos, which means that the absolute number of Igbos in that figure may be nearly 3.5 million over those 7 years.

Anyway, let me not waste my time educating a tribalistic bigot like you.

victorvezx:
Lol, ok, but it must be very heartbreaking that the south east is only better than at least the north central. Meaning the south east is competing with some of the poorest region in the country.

If only you aren't dumb, you will know that the South East has only 5 states competing against the 6 states each of South West and South South. Divide the economy of the entire South East by 5 and South South by 6, and see that the South East average is about the same with that of South South. South West does better only because of Lagos. If you take out Lagos, the rest of the south west has results comparable to the south east.
Go get some sense.

modath:
It's called bipolar disorder!!!! Hate & bitteness are serious brain freezing ailments... They can't seem to function in any reasonable continuous manner...

Same amiable PYO they reviled on behalf of the Kwara patrimony looter and called "mere commissioner" is who they are now waxing lyrical about..

Awon akinyeye, akindanidani..

Same way your PMB was harassing the Kwara patrimony looter with CCT initially but now, he has become the beautiful bride of APC.
PLEASE SHIFT WITH YOUR HYPOCRISY!

Israeljones:
Even from afar some people can see the truth and make their own thought from it.....
but yet some people are so close but cudnt see anythn...e.g the 3 people with very low high-queues above me..
like they say, you dont know what u have untill u loose em..
... if God didnt ordained this man will he not come back home...
which am sure he will...

High-queues? Hahaha. Yoruba man... Spelt as he pronounces it.
I wonder who has a better IQ between you and them.

smark61:
So Yoruba want dia own n ibos want dia own ok
Very soon hausas go want dia own. Den d south too go want dia own

South no be tribe.

Where are OmenkaLives, NgeneUkwenu, Passingshot, Dropshot, Midolian, Modath, Beremx etc when you need them? This useless APC government has made them all dumb, thereby restoring sanity to Nairaland. Thank you Baba Buhari for that. Like Sniper is to a cockroach, so is APC government to these NL efulefus. Hahaha

Please, where are the blocks of buildings that make up the school? I can only count like 6 or so.

HenryDion:
While 80percent of your members can't even afford two square meal a day. Kontinue..

Bros, this line you people keep using has become stale.
In case you didn't read or see it, the church is in America. Did you say 80% of his members can't afford 2 square meals? I hope you don't need a mental assessment.

Edoblakky:
This is the most sensitive and informative post on this thread. Many states striving to build airports are only looking for ways to loot.

A survey carried out on all of our airports shows that many are not needed. For instance, Ekiti, Jigawa, Bayelsa, Kebbi and Gombe don't need airports. Their traffic is less than a motor park traffic.

Exactly!
People often respond to things without critical reasoning.
Many governors initiate major projects as an avenue to loot.

soberdrunk:
Its very annoying to know that a man from that state was president for "5 years" yet they didnt build an "airport, instead they are launching an "heliport' in 2017 under a new administration......

Bayelsa doesn't need airport yet. What is the air traffic of Bayelsa dwellers like? How many of the barely 2 million people living in Bayelsa fly in a month? Moreover, Portharcourt airport is not far from Bayelsa.. Even Anambra doesn't have an airport.

omenkaLives:
Baba take your time to rest. You dont need to prove nothing to any doubting thomases. We need you hale and hearty when you get back to finish the wonderful job you started.

It is well with you sir.

Get well soon? Even you don't believe ur party and the presidency. They've said lied several times that he isn't sick.

StOla:
That is why I wonder why people are so worried(happy) about the President's health.

He has handed over to the VicePresident who is now acting. Let his family worry over his health privately.

The cost of his treatment will come from our scarce national resources. Treatment in UK without insurance is very expensive.
So yes, it's our business.

Chiefpriest1:
Like any other condition, Asthma kills only when it is not well managed. I followed this girl's story closely. Her case wasn't well handled.

It's still the same thing. If somebody is having an attack, you can't be talking about taking them to the best hospital in the country except it's coincidentally close by. Urgent nebulization will save them from death, and that can be done anywhere, even in a patent medicine store.

Chiefpriest1:
Rest in Peace, beautiful...

If only you were a commissioner, a minister, or even our president Buhari, you would be somewhere in Germany, UK or US right now, recovering.

These people live that Nigerians might die, they eat that we might starve.

Babangida, Head of State for 8 years couldn't build a single world class hospital. He just came back from treatment abroad.

Buhari, with all the budget for National Hospital and Aso Rock clinic, is currently chilling with public funds in a UK hospital.

Atiku had a knee sprain while exercising. He was flown abroad.

Yar'Adua was almost on the verge of death abroad before he was brought back to breathe his last here.

What a country... Again, rest beautiful soul. Unfortunate that common athsma could take ur young soul in the 21st century.

Asthma doesn't give people enough time to be taken to world class hospitals.
May her soul rest in peace.

KingyKing:
Shut up. Not every PH will be matched this month.. Use your head.
Freezing has been done in multiple countries and they've come out of it.
MMM are not new to freezing and coming out of it. So shut up

Many countries like South Africa, abi? Keep waiting, dey will pay you 1000% bonus.
NANSENSE!!!

amnwa:
Getaway with your negativity. Its people like you who never sees good in others and never prosper..
Your brain no tel.u by that next month if people corporate and pay system will be back to normal..
Stupidity is obviously abundant

I wonder between 2 of us who is stupid now. Keep waiting they will pay you.
LUBBISH!!!

What do you do for a living?

Your mum is in her mid forties, so let's say 45 years old. If she had you at 23, it means you're 22 years old now. Let's even say she had you at 20. It means you're about 25 years old.

At 25, you're talking about buying cars at the same time for both of your parents that will cost you nothing less than 7 - 10 million naira.

I ask again, what do you do for a living?

newyorks:
and a generation is gone just like that.what could have caused it!speeding or mechanical fault. rip anyways.

They were hit by a tanker carrying petrol which probably failed break. It didn't just hit them from behind, but it fell on their car and everything was set on fire. Even the driver and conductor of the tanker were burnt to ashes alongside the entire family and a few bystanders. It happened around Kwali or so.
May their souls rest in peace.

...sorry my guy..the ATM just crossed my mind

Lol @ATM

ngolokante:
But the change has already began with this government in that regard...no other government has shown interest in encouraging the Eastern artisans like this one...not even jonathan who is so much loved by guys from that axis...I cant remeber Sambo Dasuki going to visit Aba workshops like Osinbanjo has...it might be slow but its a start.

Namadi Sambo

KingyKing:
youve been told, there are GH limits, it will be increased little by little, you can see the screenshot above,, some people have recently been Getting matched for 30-40k..
Little by little
so relax.

While people have not been paid since December, are you aware that these people paying now will be getting help by next month? Does it occur to you that the pool of people that will need to GH by next month will increase? At what point will those being owed since December be paid, and these new people PHing still paid? The truth is that in a few weeks time, these people PHing now will start crying like the rest of the people who funds are trapped. Sad but true.

softwerk:
We didn't need a soothsayer to predict these predictions of yours Mr Freeze!

But come to think of you freeze, Na who you don epp?

If your nanny was considering investing in MMM then maybe you are not paying her enough to even dream of a better life for herself!?

MMM maybe Ponzi and unstable as all its participants knew but they changed the lives of many Nigerians!

Please let's see you CHANGE the life of your beloved nanny by selling one of your EXPENSIVE wristwatches to upgrade her life and maybe Nigerians will start taking you serious!

Unapologetic!

People didn't do MMM because of poverty but because of greed.
I initially didn't want to participate in it for almost 3 months from the first time I heard about it. I later gave in by the end of October, even though I didn't have that peace in my mind. I did it till beginning of December and backed out. Thank God I did, cos I would have had at least 200k of my money in the system. In fact, there was a point in which I had 300k hanging there, towards the end of November.
By the end of December, I decided to back out of Ponzi schemes completely. I know many of them are still working now, but I ain't doing again. Not out of fear of collapse, but for conscience sake.

me69:
all service chiefs are not from the north. There is 1 for each zones SW SE NC NE and no one from NW except DSS ( not traditionally included among "service chiefs" )

Guy, are you in this country?
There is no service chief from the SE in Buhari's govt. SW has CDS (who is only as useful as 'p' in 'pneumonia') and SS has CNS.
COAS and NSA are both from NE, while as for CAS and Chief of Defense Intelligence, one is from NW and the other from NC. Not sure of the particular order here.
Buhari is a terrible ethnic bigot.
