Unfortunately for them, Army frowns seriously on mutiny.

Long jail terms loading for them regardless of how genuine their grievances are

MODIFIED : I goofed. Mutiny is synonymous to Treason in the Military. Penalty is death.

I now remember those who mutinied because they were cheated over UN Peacekeeping allowances had to be constantly begging for mercy later

BlackPeni5:


Earlier this year, an APC senator proposed a bill that sought to punish convicted hate speech purveyors with death.


Only last week, Daar Communications announced it had paid heavy fines imposed by Mr Kawu for alleged use of “provocative, inflammatory and decisive” comments during July 24 edition of ‘Political Platform,’ a popular morning magazine programme on Ray Power FM.

Although the station said it would contest the action in court, it had to first comply to avoid being forced out of airwaves by the NBC.

The silence of the presidency on this sars issue is defeaning. If that's the only thing buhari achieves, then he has done well

Deadlytruth:
Unfortunately, the bigger problem you are not seeing is the capacity of this currently ongoing bloodshed in the Middle Belt to 77 disintegrate Nigeria which you so love. How will elections be held at all under perpetual massacres let alone being rated credible or otherwise on account of which kind of police supervised it?

So now, are these issues of SIEC's failure which comes to the fore just once in four years more important than the need to stem the current bloodletting which occurs daily? And how disciplined has the FG itself been in its use of the federal police? Was it not this same centralized police that was used to rig presidential and guber elections by Obasanjo in pursuit of his do or die elections?

asdfjklhaha:
Hmm state police. When most states can't even pay their civil servants they want to add police to the work load. My only problem is if the states can pay the at when due. If not, we will have a much bigger problem because they might r use the arms given to them to start robbing the people they are supposed to protect.

DevelopNaija:
Yes Sir, the government did provide refuse bins and refuse dump sites. Okay, let's assume the government doesn't provide or does not implement appropriate strategies to environmental issues; but is that enough justification as to why people litter the streets with dirts?

omohayek:
The OP lists one of the problems with Nigerians as being an attitude of entitlement, and here you go providing a perfect example of such an attitude in action! Isn't any "government" drawn from amongst the ranks of the people, and selected by the very same people? Who then is to blame when governments fail at their duties, but the very citizens who refuse to hold their chosen representatives accountable?

In any case, soiling one's environment with trash is not some form of "protest" against government inaction, but an act of selfishness that ends up harming those who engage in it just as much as the rest of their neighbors: even disregarding the existence of LGAs, nothing stops the residents of a neighborhood from teaming together to collectively handle their rubbish disposal, nothing other than the entitled, selfish and lazy attitude that "government" should handle it because "I've paid my taxes" - even though the vast majority of Nigerians pay nothing at all worth noting tax-wise.

DevelopNaija:
3. Contributing To Underdevelopment:

I know the government have much influence in Nigeria’s development but citizens also have a role to play. Example – We complain of flood, but it is citizens who block drainages with dirts thrown indiscriminately on the streets. Government don’t want to provide jobs but you are reluctant to develop yourself with the right skills to become a ‘hot cake’ in the labour market.

He never see anything.


No European team is winning this tournament

Earthbound:
So Nigeria could not hold the game for just a couple more minutes?


200 million hearts broken. Thank God I didn't watch the match. My appetite for don disappear.

wildcatter23:
I would commend Ruggedman for his maturity in handling this issue. Although the way I see it, he took a subtle jab at her. Calling her a child, his fan and wondering what she was on.

Mochedda went off board and the tongue lashing and bashing she got should have put her back in line. Nigerians can be savage at times.

Everyone goofs. That's true. Bottom line, unwittingly she accorded the matter hugh publicity.

Another bane of my fellow peeps is the issue of attacking the messager and ignoring the message. This is really pathetic and shows a lack of maturity and ability to see things clearly.

HiddenShadow:
Afonjas and envy are like bread & butter.

The last part is the most important in my write up.
25 year old from poor background will find it difficult to compete.

DIYhackers:
You were making sense until the last past

UNIQUEISRAEL:
A primary school teacher who gets a job newly in Luxembourg earns $5,300 (N1.9Million) every month, while a primary school teacher with over 15 years experience gets over $8,100(N2.9Million). Remember $1 = 360.
Now tell me, why won't they do the work with JOY and why won't the lives of their children be better?
Back home in Nigeria a teacher can be earning as low as $150 - $200.
O'God have mercy on us!!

CarlosTheJackal:
?y friend okey has been engaged to his fiance for a year and he told me in confidence that he wasn't going to marry the lady because she is Old and he needs a 23 year old bride instead of his 34 year old fiance.

Okey bad mouths the lady anytime we hang out together to create a bad impression about her with me but when i go visiting, the things he tells me are different from what i see with the lady.


Last year the lady called me up to please help her talk to my friend use condom when sleeping with his other flings. The truth is that i know Okey side chic who is also my great pal because she is a good talker and she can analyse politics like Maupe Ogun.



Okey promised the fiance to marry her during the last Easter so the girl had inform her parents in the village that her fiance is coming for wine carrying but the truth was that Okey was doing wine carrying for his 23 year old bride with the loan he took from his fiance. For the record, Okey is an average guy with dough but he was cash strapped then so he took 300k loan from the fiance to travel with her to the village.


I was the only one that knew about the game being played out and i was seriously bothered because this lady has really sacrificed a lot for my guy. Treating the worst STDs and forcing him to do likewise, aborting a three month old baby after the guy lied to him that he was in a secret society so if he should have a baby now that he will die. (Sounds funny but my friend has a Nigeria Oscar for his theatrics)



When they got home he dropped the lady at her place and never bothered to bring the lady to come see his family. The lady do call me every time giving me detail of what's going on just like my friend calls me to tell me of how much convincing he is still doing to the family of his 23 year old student bride. I asked my friend what about his fiance and he said she is at her father's house that he has told her that he can't marry her.
I called the fiance to know if my friend is still coming and she said my friend will still show up.


Finally, my friend took the cloth the fiance made as uniform for their marriage rites and use it to go pay bride price for his 23 year old student bride. When he told me with joy that God he finally blessed him that after a lot of pressure against his marrying the 23 year old bride from her sisters that the girl's father finally agreed. I asked him what about his fiance and he said he won't tell her for now that he will just find a way to quarrel with her for the next three months then he will end it. It was then that i knew that my friend was evil and will throw anyone under the bus just for his selfish desire.



I just called the fiance and told her to forget about marriage with my friend that she should come back to Lagos to face her life because Okey is now married. She didn't believe it but when i took her through the emergency travels he makes to the East for one job or the other, the stories that i was used as an alibi to cover for him and others. The fiance was devastated and i told her to watch out for a quarrel before they will travel back. I told the lady not to be scared to tell the guy that i told her everything.

Today, my friend sees me as a Snitch and someone that couldn't keep the guys code. I told him that we are no longer those boys in school with useless code that everything we do now shapes our old age

CarlosTheJackal:
The problem is that we keep hearing of extortion from SARS while our government turns a blind eye to it.


The only robbers today that walk around in broad day light are members of SARS

State independent electoral commissions have always conducted local government elections. It's actually in the 1999 constitution.
