Some Nigerians would rather take their chances in South Africa than come back home and live in fear of kidnappers demanding ₦50 million ransom. The situation is tough on both sides, but many people are simply trying to survive and earn an honest living. I am a qualified electrician, and if anyone needs electrical installation, maintenance, or related services, I will appreciate the opportunity to work. God bless everyone trying to make a living legally.

The government has said the deadline only affects those who are in South Africa illegally.

✓I watched the interview with Rufai Oseni and I still have a bit of problem with POs elocution.
However, he made very salient points especially on Banditry, No Nigerian leader can totally crush Banditry as it stands today.
It has a very multi-pronged approach including the root-cause and taking a firm position.

Stop saying stewpid things. To date, no Nigerian leader has ever gone head on against the problem of Islamic terrorism, so how did you arrive at this claim that no leader can totally crush the problem when none has tried? 🥱

But yar’adua did it and it worked. If I become President I will just call all the northern elites and tell them to stop their brothers and after that if I hear pim again I will contact vlad and we respond with ORESHNIK that’s 4,000 degree centigrate

Lies! It didn't work when yar adua did it. As a matter of fact, yar adua's decision created the opportunity that the terrorists needed to infiltrate the Nigerian military as well as political circles at all levels. He helped create this problem. 🥱

Let Us try Him first, you will never know the kind of President he will be until He becomes one. Let Us vote for him and see whether he can bring solutions. Unless you are just a hater and bigot

The country has failed from the many trials. Yet, here you are suggesting more of the same? 🥱

If you know Peter Obi scores with criminals, u will understand that Peter Obi is brutal with dealing criminals ... Wait till he firsts handles the reins

He is telling you that he will continue the two-tier policing that Nigerians have decried all of this time. 🥱

Marriage will be so great if both parties were initially friends, selfless and ready to be committed for the progress of it. Being dead to the flesh will help marriage a lot.

You forget that both of them are meant to be humans first. Marriage works. What does not work are.the many delusions such as what you have there that conveniently ignore the fact that humans will always be humans and that is not a problem but by design. 🥱

➜Hate is a strong word but this woman made my life miserable. I was underfed when I was a child and that contributed to my slim stature. All my siblings have great body except me. I was told when I was young. This woman will leave me hungryand be doing churcht hing. Carry church for head . Leave me as a kid hungry and he going to church.
I can't forgive her

You are skinny because you don't eat enough to gain weight. Go drink at least 1 cup of vegetable oil(approximately 2000 calories on top of everything else you eat each day) every day for at least a month and you are bound to gain at least 5 kgs in no time.

Spare the pages for those who have real problems, abeg!

I actually thought for the longest that you were Otem. Now that I know you are not, it puts things in a whole new perspective for me. 🥱

geoworldedu:
If Otem were to be here, he would have fancied this picture

You took up preaching made-up stories from one man, yet you don't see how you are no different from, say, those who preach the teachings of any other religion, for that matter?

during this war, the uae denied attacking iran denied satanyahu's secret visit to the uaeand have now denied sending $3B to iran

---

all three facts they denied are true-Lord

Let's stop foaming in the mouth now!

UAE denied attacking Iran back in March 2026, after Iran fired missiles at the nation. Since then, Iran has continued to provoke the UAE and many of the other Gulf states into the war. We are now in June, and things may have changed since then.

That said, the UAE has, in the last 24 hours, come out to deny all claims that money has changed hands between the UAE and Iran.

Dogalmighty17:
It is also being reported that the US might agree to give Iran 24 billion dollars tomorrow after another cease fire agreement is signed with a possible 300 billion dollars of seized Iranian funds in the future. Talks about Iranian uranium enrichment may be held at a later date.
In effect, Iran has achieved a victory beyond their wildest aims. The JCPOA that Obama negotiated with Iran and Trump tore up, is far better than this.
There is no way this can be taken to be anything more than a loss and a total humiliation of the United States.

The UAE already issued statements that this s false rumour.

...no be lie madam Kemi!, we however believe the future is bright if we get it right in the next election

Which future?

"Radical Islam doesn’t want just a small caliphate in Iraq or Syria. They see even Southern Nigeria as an evil on Earth and seek to dominate it. Radical Islam is revolutionary; it wants endless expansion, terrorism, assassinations, and total control. They hate Christians, Traditionalists, Satanists, Buddhists, Hindus, and athiests.

Radical Islam is a clear and imminent threat to Nigeria."

➜We have gas... But decide to waste it by flaring it. Yeah... the leaders are stupid alright!

Yet cooking gas or heating gas no dey easily accessible to all homes? Just imagine!

CyynthiaKiss:
Being born and grow in Nigeria is not easy if you’re not from a rich home.. Funny that people are quick to adjust to suffering , while some even see basic amenities of life as luxury. Nigerian leaders have destroyed the way Nigerians reason..
Eg, if an average Nigerian sees 12 hours uninterrupted power supply, he becomes anxious and afraid of the consequences of having such long hours of supply..Some of them will think that after this supply, they might not see light again for weeks..
This is how Nigerian politicians have damaged the psyche of an average Nigerian who doesn’t know that to have 24 hours power supply is his right..

When I was born, Lagos Water Works(pipe-borne water), good road systems, and 24-hour electricity in Ikorodu, Lagos State) was still a thing. And we were, on the most part, not born rich or well-to-do back then. Now, think about how the generations after mine never got to experience any one of those. Their idea of what the normal should be is so off. Imagine how extremely difficult for someone such as myself to intelligently engage such minds in discourse about the future of Nigeria. NO be joke oo!

Atlantis585:
Absolutely correct. Tinubu and Buhari has messed up Nigeria beyond imagination.

Tinubu and Buhari both claimed that it is only by becoming president of Nigeria that they would each realize the problem. Look where we are today with them. How many more decades of our lives are we looking to sacrifice to this same wickedness?

LagosOrigin:
That's a good president material if you ask me Going to the people who elected you to know what they really want you to do for them and doing it the right way .
A good leader will be closer to the people Peter Obi is spot-on on this one. Tinubu went to Jos and instead of meeting the people, he stopped at Jos airport and ran away like a thief in the night ..

Please, let's stop this nonsense!

Wande22:
➜For instance Amotekun I haven't seen a non-yoruba as an Amotekun Operative unlike LNSC (Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps) that has a minuscule percentage of their workforce as non-yorubas/non-indigenes

I am not in some way suggesting it be restricted to only Yoruba indigenes. Rather, I am suggesting that a thorough background check and numerous tests be run to ensure non-Nigerians and non-Islamic terrorists are not recruited. After all, there are probably individuals local to Lagos who may be sympathetic to the cause of the Islamic terrorists ravaging Nigeria. You don't want them to make it into the State Police force, even as we know they have fully embedded themselves into the National Police force.

newnigeriannew:
➜So why do Western leaders of the developed world respect Islam, even the Pope visited a Mosque recently.

Are you attempting to argue that because the Pope visited a mosque, therefore Islam is absolved of its violent history and nature against humanity? Are you insinuating that because some Western politicians have taken a passive approach to handling Islamists, it is therefore acceptable that Islam glorifies pedophilia?

GreenCovering:
➜Talk is cheap

That's what that means.

GreenCovering:
➜Local policing is primarily constituted by the indigenes of that locality. It is essentially empowering them to be the strongest force within their own community rather than being left helpless in the face of intel, movements and eventual attacks by these non state actors. So it won't be state policing again if recruits are posted from Abuja or something. Also with empowerment comes proactiveness rather than an endless wait for a chain of command to be activated from Abuja before a deployment can be made every time something suspicious is noticed around. State governors have explained how times without number they were snubbed or undermined after escalating critical security intelligence before attacks occurred. I am sure they would have been more proactive if they had had at least a certain level of organised deployment that they could put out at such times, that is, if they were not already undercutting the capacity for these actors to move into positions and eventually launch attack on innocent citizens.

These claims are baseless!

INTEGRITYA1:
The above quoted portion is to checkmate the State Governors and to reduce their power. All things being equal, the bill should be helpful in combacting criminalities and insecurity issues.

It rather takes power away from the local to give to the Federal, something that is contrary to what the Constitution itself suggests ought to be the case. But of course, many who support the current regime don't care much that the power is centralized in the Federal and away from the people.

Vision101:
➜The governor appoints on the recommendation of national police council and the state house of assembly approves.
State commissioner of police and inspector general of police - just nomenclature. He is still in charge of the entire police structure of the state irrespective of the nomenclature. He's answerable primarily to the governor and state house of assembly.

Meaning the power over the state is retained by the federal government in this? How is that a good thing?

GreenCovering:
No criminal gangs can hide under the noses of the locals or more acquainted with the terrain than the locals. An empowered and organised local security will nip a lot of things in the bud and reverse all of these security challenges.
Thank you HOR and God bless you all God bless Nigeria

You forget that the northern Fulani who now occupy many of the security posts in most local communities are also acquainted with the terrain? If they also occupy many of the posts in the local police, imagine what that would mean for this local militia then.

phemray:
➜Pls no collect bribe oo and be strict in doing the right things without compromise when engaged. That will be the beginning of the greater Lagos.

He has the right attitude at least. Locals should make sure their state police are drawn from local individuals and not from a pool of foreign terrorists, including Islamists in Nigeria. In Southern Nigeria, for instance, many of the security jobs already go to Islamists from the North and abroad. To keep that from happening, local youths should endeavor to get themselves into those roles as soon as necessary.

jahsharon:
.➜If you want to cry, cry well well. Let me remind you also that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Kudirat Small-Tiger is also our girl, Tinubu personally nominated her to represent Lagos at the Supreme Court some years back and has teleguided her till she got the number-one position at the Supreme Court. so Tinubu can do whatever he likes and that’s what he has been doing

At least you own it with your full chest that the country has been hijacked and no longer operating according to even the Constitution. And I hope Nigerians now see why that document needs to be shredded and burned in its entirety and a new one implemented to stop such fraud from befalling them ever again in the future.

jahsharon:
.➜It’s Tinubu’s bill nah. Tinubu is the Senate, the Senate is Tinubu

So, what you are conceding to is that the House and Senate belong to him? The nation is literally conquered by him.

Wande22:
Ebube Agu Amotekun Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps But where I am concerned is HISBAH POLICE

The two-tier policing you have at the national level will trickle down to the state level, given that Sharia remains enshrined in the constitution. What this means is that there will remain one law for Islamists and terrorists and another law for non-Islamists even at the state level.

You better hold on to your local militia groups until you are sure you have completely removed Sharia from the Constitution of the nation. Otherwise,...

Anishinaabe:
No be everything we go copy oga.
The sign of intelligence is to figure out what bEst works for you
We copy bicameral legislation and see what nonsense we made of it Separated federal and state but conveniently ignored local government

You only copied it on paper. You didn't make real attempts to implement or use any of it to your benefit. Worse, you inserted Sharia, a system completely incompatible with the bicameral system, into your constitution to ensure its failure from even before its beginning.

The existence of Sharia meant a two-tier policing system was in place from the get-go. That has never worked out anywhere, even in all of the over 54 known Sharia countries out there, where we see to this day Islamists killing other Islamists(non-Islamists have their lives truncated without so much as a peep from the establishment) while those in power watch as the norm.

Kukutente23:
Why should the national police council appoint commissioners of police for the states
Why not have state police councils and why should state police not be headed by inspector generals instead of commissioners? I hope they are not trying to make commissioners of police ultimately subservient to the Federal police

lol
