AMINDA:
Everybody appears to be gathering to cook beans for Wike. He must finish it. Here's the video of the erstwhile CDS, General Irabor condemning Wike's actions in very strong terms. The best time for Wike to apologise to the military was yesterday. The second best time is immediately.

Lt. Gen. Lucky Irabor, former Chief of Defence Staff, has openly blasted Wike for his reprehensible conduct, stressing that there are already established channels for addressing issues of this nature which clearly a demonstrates the rule of law.

It's sad that the reason for the consensus is mundane. Can our military top brass unite to dislodge agents responsible for the insecurity in the country?

There's no more humanity but politics. The death of human beings means nothing to people. How did we descent to this level?

LegendHero:
Anyone wearing this man type of cloth always think upside down.

Wike should apologize so someone obeying an illegal order and stopping the FCT minister from carrying out his legal duties.

It's sad that we encourage lawlessness in this country & expect the country to progress. A commissioned Naval officer has better responsibilities than standing as a security man in an undeveloped property of a former CNS. Soldiers should concentrate on their duties of defending the country from external aggression instead of interrupting pubic officers from during their jobs.

This man is one of those that had an opportunity to make Nigeria great but was blinded by sectional interests. The last days of YarAdu'a comes to mind. We're riping the results of mediocrity & incompetence.

Musty112:
Shame. There is a lesson to learn in everything. A big lesson to learn here is that it is good to maintain a good relationship with your in-law albeit with a very respectable distance. "Eku ijo meta" is ideal!!

Sometimes it's difficult to maintain a good relationship with in-laws especially when they have low emotional intelligence, relatively poor with an entitlement mentality. The lady is immature mentally & the relatives even though older, can't correct her because she contributes to their financial sustainability. And dragging a family issue publicly confirms they've no reputation to lose but are out to embarrass the Senator.
The Senator to me is not wise. As an elderly man, he doesn't need to marry teenagers to feel cool. They're a lot of matured ladies that can make him enjoy his wealth in a quite & peaceful atmosphere. This is a lesson to other men.

The Fear of Trump
is the Beginning
of the end
of Terrorists
in Nigeria. 😁

Not really. Terrorism will go the day we become better citizens by being patriotic & sincere to one another. Politico-economic desperation, promotion of mediocrity & incompetence using ethno-religious sentiments, corruption, nepotism etc. are parts of the problems sustaining terrorism, banditry, kidnapping & other vices.

Honestey:
Tinubu will not cooperate with outsider to come and invade his country. If PFN are among those who cook the lies of Christian Genocide go give Trump, let Trump invade and all of the pastors too will face the consequences. By the time America attacks destroyed everything, I will see who will have tithes to pay you guys again.

Better to understand the subject before discussion. It's difficult to understand why people are scared of Trump's intervention in an issue the FG is handicapped to arrest. There is no benefit in sowing the seeds of religious discord. Religious fanaticism doesn't pay.

SeverusSnape:
Terrorist deputy speaking...

Nigeria is a DISGRACED country for real, A country where nothing works and majority of the citizens are suffering, Is there anything honourable about such country?

Trump did not threaten Nigeria, He threatened TERRORISTS and the supporters and sponsors, If you're angry about that, Then you're definitely one of them.

Probably! The quality of politicians representing us in NASS in appalling. They lack the cerebral capacity to initiate & drive progress. And openly & tacitly opposing measures that can counter religiously hostility without alternative solution proves the fact that government is complicit in the security challenges in the country.

TruthsFM:
These are Shia Muslims protesting against President Donald J. Trump coming to Nigeria to flush away those Islamic extremist jihadis, I love Shi'a Muslims but I totally condemn your acts, which reflect on the alliance with Iran and Iran is Shi'a Shi'a-dominated nation and they are the fuelers of all kinds of Islamic Jihadis terrorists.

Dear Shi'a Movement, don't start what you can't finish, if President Donald Trump gets to know that you're a Shi'a movement in Nigeria and that doing these protests against him is going to be hell for you, don't forget El-rufai and Buhari, I do not want this to repeat itself again, and avoid further destruction of your lives.

The Americans have your records right from Iran, avoid them tracking you in Nigeria, they know that Iran is Shi'a Muslims and they're the brain behind Hamas, Hezbollah, Taliban, Huties and etc... All the Jihadist terrorists in the Middle-east are empowered by Iran and they're a Shi'a movement, please Nigerian Shi'a avoid these things you're doing.

Apologist Evangelist Ibrahim Dikko

Is their leader still in detention? Lack of education & religious indoctrination are major challenges in this country. When others are toiling, studying, sowing seeds of progress, you read religious books & sleep. Harvest time: no food, no jobs etc. The next move is insurgency, banditry, kidnapping etc. for survival & ethnic cleansing to takeover people's ancestral lands. Now that the bubble has been bursted, what're they trying to proof. Or is it fear of repercussions.
The evil that men do, lives with them.

whytediamond:


Funny how so many people don't know much about the Fulani tribe.

Fulanis have medical doctors working in America and Canada and any other country every other Nigerian lives.

We have professors who are Fulanis.

We have at least 100 Igbo women married to Fulanis in Nigeria.

Don't argue if you haven't taken time to study the Fulanis who are currently citizens of at least 8 West African countries.

Peace ✌️

The problem is not the Fulanis but the political elites who want to relocate alien nomadic Fulanis to occupy ancestral lands in Nigeria for political dominance & to encourage religious fanaticism.
The other issue is lack of a sustainable economic development plan. In this modern era, people shouldn't be migrating with cattle. The migration is related to communal crises, kidnapping etc. Why do we need to import aliens to migrate with cattles for us, when we can establish ranches for animal husbandry. Why're we still primitive when they're enabling technologies to enable us live better lives.
The problem is poor leadership & governance, promotion of mediocrity & incompetence through various means including ethno-religious sentiments, corruption, nepotism etc.

Salewa97:
The meeting with the Sultan is a good one.

We are also waiting for the meeting with the Christian leaders

PBAT met the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja 2 days ago.

Empiree:
Deal With It I don't like talking to Biafrans. They think like herdsmen's cows

The only ting i am responding to is bold. Herdsmen is entrepreneurship and they are everywhere across the country. And everyone benefits from them. We buy cows during ileya. It is stressful for them to have to transport cows and other livestock all the way from the north to SW and East since you all buy and eat beef. By having ranches across the country and in the SW/SE will reduce inflation on these animal. Imagine buying a ram f0r over 100k that used to be 18k?. Once they have ranches in the SW/SE, you have to force them to reduce ram and cow prices. You dont need to force them actually, by default it will or we dont buy. Simple







As for the pictures you posted, you are just being emotional. No one wants to see anyone dies. Get over it and provide solution and stop being emotionally unstable. That doesn't solve anything.


Embrace the herdsmen

From the discussion, the issue is land. What stops ranching in the North? All that's needed is water, forage & veterinary care. Why come to grab land in the middle belt & the south where the people are predominantly farmers?

KingAzubuike:
Tinubu is not ruthless enough. As they are going on strike, they ought not to be paid salaries too. Nobody will beg them to come back and work.

Why leave patients to die all because of your own personal interests.

I love your disposition. I wish you would've the guts to tell your leaders this. Those diverting funds meant for development of infrastructures, quality healthcare services etc. Those who pay themselves burgos salaries & allowances while impoverishing civil servants & the masses. Currently, are politicians owed 2 years arrears of salaries? Despite hospitals been opened, are they functioning optimally, do we've the optimal equipment, & human resources to man them? There is massive brain drain of health professionals due to poor remuneration, unsafe workplace, insecurity etc.
If you redirect your grievances to the appropriate authorities, we may achieve more.

It is essential to ensure that more counterfeited
female condoms do not swamp genuine ones.
We should also guard against Nigeria being
used as a guinea-pig for all sorts of invention
and innovation by capitalist nations. At the last
count, the United Kingdom has the highest
teenage pregnancy in Europe despite the free
availability of all forms of contraceptive devices
under their national health service. Nigeria
should think of its own brand of sex education
rather than copying everything the west does
or constituting a laboratory for all sorts of
experiment.

Yea, the developed world including the US, UK has reasonable number of teenage pregnancies including unwanted pregnancies. The difference is in the morbidities & mortalities associated with unsafe abortions & miscreants resulting from bearing kids without having the capacity to train & cater for them. That's we're we've a problem.

Igbek76:
Sowore is doing this for ungrateful people who will never appreciate .
Proffessor Soyinka did same for them during their war with Nigeria but they pay back with ingrate.

I pity him.

What do you mean? Did the Igbos send them to represent them? If the Igbos desire the release of Mazi Kanu, why're they not protesting in the South East? The Igbos are interested in true federalism & not in secession through a separatist movement.
The FG should be faulted for the protests. Lack of rule of law & delays in administration of criminal justice is what's causing the protests. Unlike the trial of Simon Ekpa in Finland, the trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is unnecessarily prolonged. Justice delayed, is justice denied. Mazi is being tried for terrorism but negotiations are ongoing with more dangerous terrorists in some parts of the country.
The FG must sit up to ensure it overcomes the security challenges in the country.

Abdul05:
Sowore Is right that protest power keeps the military away..

But It's also truth that tinubu political control and experience have helped maintain that fragile balance..

He knows when to bend and when to stand straight

The coup plan is an unverified rumour. The officers are more concerned about making money than plotting a coup.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Dying for Nigeria is suicide. You will rot in hell fire.

No wonder neither the President nor the Vice attended the funeral.


We can see the patriotism as shown by the zonebs

Yea, if the President & C-in-C wasn't there, you can't blame the governors that decided to attend a Minister's son's wedding instead of paying the last respect to the departed Service Chief.

Poverty, frustration & lack of job satisfaction is responsible for the appalling behaviour.

Eriokanmi:
Had my mum lived in this era. Her left breast should have since been cut off . It happened in 1985. Thank God for her life, well lived. Herbs cured her and she lived in good health until last year April at age 90 when she passed.

May be it wasn't breast cancer. There're other cases of breast lesions: infections, allergies, inflammatory diseases etc.

Chucks13:
Because Tinubu was the president in 1967?

Because Tinubu was a millitary man in 1967?

Because Tinubu was the one who came to shot Asaba people?

And Gej was an expresident so why didn't they asked him to apologised?

And Buhari was an ex president so why didn't they asked him to apologised?

How I wish Tinubu can turn a dictator and drop all these I'm a democrat nonsense for everybody to sit up.

Mr Royal Highness with due respect tell your govtnor to do the apology, Tinubu owed nobody any apology he didn't even know about and was even a young man at that year 1967 sorry its not Tinubu responsibility or go and ask Gowon and Obj to apologised they both participated in the war as a soldier and head of state they are still alive sir

PBAT is the C-in-C & in the best position to do so currently. If the rest overlooked the issue, it's not late to do the right. If MKO was recognized for winning the June 12 elections of 1993, then the FG should apologize for the massacre & admit that in war anything goes. As par compensation, all Nigerians are under distress - insurgency, banditry, kidnappings etc.

uchennamani:
The real problem is that people don't learn from history. If Wike is a student of history, he would have known how this will end. When you sell your people, you create a very bad position for yourself: Your people won't trust you, and the person you sold your people to won't either.

If you like, mark this comment. It is going to end badly for Wike. Politically though. Peter Obi won River state. Wike sold his people's' vote for crumbs that fall from a table.

If PBAT aligns with Fubara as suggested by GAC, will the Rivers state votes go automatically to PBAT? Fubara will still tow the line of Wike for APC to win.

ruggedtimi:
Normally plenty elders no like Wike. Na the younger politicians and his age grade politician to align with am more. Just few elders they align with Wike.

Yea, you've a point. GAG is a local collection of elders that have relevance only in Lagos politics. Where're they when Obi dusted PBAT in the last general elections.
River state is polarised politically & Wike has a upper hand. Fubara is a nice guy but not rugged enough to deliver votes to PBAT. Rivers youth will not vote PBAT. Rivers state will only be delivered through stakeholders inducement & electoral manipulations.

Kingpele:
I thought we have passed this stage for good...government should build ranches for herders across the northern States especially at sambisa forest to reduce this clashes to barest minimum....

Government should build ranches for foreign herders? The problem is basically lack of an agricultural development plan by the government. There should be designated areas for those interested in animal husbandry to key in. Cattle rearing is a business, incentives & infrastructures should be provided to attract investors.

grandstar:
The floating of the Naira was perhaps the best thing that ever happened to the economy in decades. This should have been carried out in 1999, and not 2023.

The ending of the fuel subsidy too should have been done as early as 1999.

The floating of the naira was a wrong move. What's the basis for the decision? Concerning the fuel subsidy removal, dealing with the inefficiency in the petroleum sector was a better option.
Have we benefitted much from the policy decisions?

Avedonn:
The majority of the killings and kidnappings are carried out by Fulani herdsmen and a few jobless criminals. This crisis has become difficult to control because the perpetrators have grown accustomed to the easy money from ransom payments, and the victims have little faith in the effectiveness of the security agencies. They often prefer to pay the criminals to secure the release of their loved ones, rather than depend on the inept authorities.

The only viable solution to the rampant kidnapping and banditry plaguing the country is to reintroduce public execution for convicted criminals, which prove to be effective in the 1980s and early 1990s.

But those that should sign the death warrants are cowards & want to be politically correct. They're more concerned with collecting security votes than tackling security problems.

Racoon:
National unity with who? Not after demonizing the Nnamdi Kanu and the SE while your govt is giving a sovereign nation excuses as bandits and terrorists can come hold peace meeting in LGAs in the north with sophisticated cache of arms and ammunition even kidnapping hapless citizens in the process.

There is intelligence to abduction someone from Kenya back to Nigeria, but the inhouse terrorists are allowed leeway to straddle freely. The selective justice administration based on warped prismatic worldview is gonna consume you all. Continue the hypocrisy and defective national cohesion you lots are building.

That's the fact. Collusion with terrorists & bandits for political reasons. Anytime we become a united & serious Nation, we shall overcome our challenges.
For now we breed & nurture mediocrity & incompetence under ethno-religious guise to foster sectional motives.

donproject2:
May her soul rest in peace.

A certain hospital rejecting an emergency case doesn't necessarily show incompetence or lack of empathy, they may not have the necessary facilities to handle the case. You can't, for example, take a dental issue to an ENT clinic, they don't match, they won'tentertain that.

I am using this example of these specialist hospitals to show that some hospitals may not have the necessary facilities to attend to some special cases.

It saddens my heart when I heard or see cases like this. Someone, somebody's daughter, sleeping peacefully at her home, where she believed there is a maximum security, will just wake to the horrible noise of armed robbery. It is so so sad.

May her soul rest in perfect peace once again, I pray that God console her loved ones she left behind.

Apart from that, the initial story was that the Police refused to convey her to the hospital because there wasn't enough fuel in their vehicle. Time was wasted in arranging another vehicle which later took her to the hospital. And by the time she got there, she couldn't make it. The story seems to be changing.
But presently we've the National Emergency & Ambulance Services. What's its role in a situation like this. Are there designated hospitals to manage emergency trauma cases?

superlanny:
Even with calculations we would not still make world cup qualification. We never serious for this country

You're correct. The enthusiasm, patriotism & commitment is not there. The players are not in top form, the coach is bereft of crucial technical ideas & the NFF lacks ideas on what to do to motivate the players. The probability of qualifying is low but still possible based the permutation of the outcome of other matches.
It's unfortunate that we're in a precarious situation due to poor planning & lackadaisical attitude.

ajalawole:
Naija don't take health serious. I lost someone to breast cancer just last year, she don't even know it was cancer and it has enter state 2, she dead in hospital when we plan to cut off the best. Most cancer don't kills, but the treatment does.

What type of cancer did she have? She died in the hospital before the breast was cut off probably suggesting a breast cancer. But you contradicted yourself again by stating that cancer does not kill but the treatment does.

The truth is that all cancers will eventually kill without treatment. The mechanism of death depends on the type of cancer, stage of the disease & the histological type of the cancer. The early stage diseases are curable in some type of cancers & some cancers are preventable - cervical cancer (HPV vaccination, screening for premalignant diseases, early detection & treatment of malignant disease).

Multi1:
This is supposed to be an internal affairs..to be resolved internally withing the church
I am sure the church has a disciplinary department which would handle such matters instead of rushing to the Internet.
Its completely unprofessional.
I am not in support of the abuse tho, but what if this is a false accusations against someone? What if this is a relationship/business gone wrong nd out of anger, she decides to take strike?
I mean, the matter ought to be brought up to the requisite authorities within the church for judgement to be made withing the church jurisdiction.
There's no family that doesn't have a bad egg, yet we all would try to protect nd cover our families....

My 5 cent.

Yea, should've been resolved in the church. In every system, we've good & bad guys.
My concern is which Diocese & country did this incident happen?
