➜ Come to think of it,when it comes to marriage, we are made to understand that the man of the house has responsibilities and these responsibilities are too numerous to mention and they include paying the rent of the house, feeding the house,paying school fees of the kids,fueling the vehicle of the house,taking very good care of the wife including her hair do and wig,etc etc.
➜If there is any attempt by the man to share some of these responsibilities with the wife,just expect a cold war to brew in the marriage.
➜ Actually speaking, is there anything like responsibilities of a man in the house or just a parochial way women want to continue to live a soft princess life forever. 😆

If you don't want those responsibilities, then simply don't agree to them, and let the woman move on to finding herself a man who will. These things are simple! 😒

2. Why should the man think he can easily switch up the contract he made with the woman whenever he feels like it? It does not and should not work that way. The moment you decide to no longer meet the expectations you set for yourself in a relationship, expect that your partner will have every reason to revolt or simply walk out of the relationship. This is common sense! 😒

3. Yes, there is! 😒

Armless citizens are what embolden criminal, if law abiding citizens especially farmers have guns now, crimes will be cut down.

At least people should be willing to guard and defend their family and properties from invaders.

Tinubu Govt Budgets Over N629Million Under Space Research Agency For Unwanted Pregnancy Awareness, Empowerment Of Clerics, Traditional Rulers

September 5, 2024
The National Space Research Development Agency is a federal government agency under the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, with a mandate to establish a "fundamental policy for the development of space science and technology."

President Bola Tinubu’s administration budgeted over N629 million under the National Space Research Development Agency (NASRDA) in the 2024 Fiscal Appropriation Act, for sensitization against rape and unwanted pregnancy, provision of metal dustbins and sanitation materials, training and empowerment of clergymen, traditional rulers and heads of communities and provision of hand pumps in Oyo and Kaduna states.

The National Space Research Development Agency is a federal government agency under the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, with a mandate to establish a "fundamental policy for the development of space science and technology." The scope of NASRDA includes the study of basic space science to lay the foundation for deriving maximum benefits from the nation's participation in the space enterprise. Its scope also includes research and rigorous education, engineering development, design, and manufacture, particularly in the areas of instrumentation, rocketry, and small satellites as well as in satellite data acquisition, processing, analysis, and management of related software for Nigeria’s attainment of space capabilities. The agency is also to provide Remote Sensing to help Nigerians understand and manage our environment and natural resources using space-acquired information to enable Nigerians to better understand land, air, and water resources and associated problems. It also has the mandate for Satellite Meteorology to study atmospheric and weather sciences using satellite data to facilitate the effective management of the environment.

However, according to the breakdown and details of the budget allocation from the certified copy obtained from the Budget Office website by SaharaReporters, Tinubu's government under National Space Research Development Agency budgeted the sum of N80 million for the “Supply of Toyota Hilux Utility Sports for sensitization against rape and pre-mature/unwanted pregnancy in the local area of Ibadan North Federal Constituency, Oyo State 4.” The sum of N80 million was budgeted for the “Provision and supply of large metal dustbins, cleaning, and sanitation of selected communities in Oyo State 2.”

For the “training and empowerment of clergy, traditional rulers/heads of communities on conflict and peace resolution in Ibadan, Oyo State 4,” the sum of N170 million was budgeted. Under the same National Space Research Development Agency, the sum of N299,592,652 was allocated for the “provision of hand pumps in some selected communities in Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency in Kaduna State,” and another N30 million for the “provision of hand pumps and boreholes in Kano South, Kano State.” Also, N50 million was budgeted under National Space Research Development Agency for the “supply of motorcycles to Mbakpor Community”.

Other budgetary allocations which are outside the mandates of NASRDA but were budgeted under the agency are
▶ N20 million for the “provision of selected primary health and maternity centres across Kaduna South Senatorial District, Kaduna State”,
▶ N100 million for the “construction/renovation of blocks of classrooms in various schools in Egba, Ogun State,”
▶ and N200 million for the "construction and rehabilitation of asphalt roads in Ibadan, Oyo State."

But the main culprits are in power walking about scot-free

The I-don't-care attitude of the average Nigeria and community is to blame for a lot of these ills that plague the society, you know?

Over 70% of Nigerian inmates are awaiting trial due to the slow pace of the justice system in the country.

With only 256 custodial centers and a combined capacity of about 58,000 available, correctional centers are overcrowded by more than 26,000 inmates. The reason is that over 68% of inmates are awaiting trial some for months, and some for many years. Yes, 68% of inmates in Nigerian correctional centers have not been convicted.

Gist Nigeria’s Ayuba Iliya speaks to experts to understand why the wheels of justice are turning slowly in Nigeria and what must be done to unclog the country’s judicial machinery.

Senator bamidele you're always standing against the people, you're the one who need warning most.

Sadly, na the Nigerian people wey no wan remove these monkies from the National space I go still blame. Because, after all is said and done, na the people wey no wan use their power be the problem.

The investigating police officer (IPO) assigned to the police’s cybercrime case against Isaac Bristol, the man the authorities identify as PIDOMNigeria, has failed to provide him with medical care, FIJ has gathered.

This IPO, whose name could not be ascertained at press time, also instructed policemen at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), where Bristol is being held, to prevent him from speaking with visitors.

On Friday afternoon, a source who gained access to Bristol told FIJ the police prevented him from speaking with them. This source requested anonymity for fear of being targeted.

They said: “When he saw me from inside the cell, he made to go back in as though he wanted to fetch something to hand to me, but the policeman at the counter stopped him.

“This policeman yelled at him to come back to the gate of the cell. Then he let him out and had him come over. There, the policeman said I could only hand him food and not discuss anything with him. I asked why and he said, if I wanted to speak with him, I would need to speak with his IPO first. He did not give me the IPO’s name or phone number, and did not allow Bristol to do so either.”

This source also said Bristol was looking emaciated, sick and in worse condition than he was the last time she saw him. His injured finger, she said, was looking worse as well.

FIJ spoke with an insider in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) who is privy to the matter. This insider said the IPO was aware of Bristol’s illness but had refused to take him to a hospital. They also said Uche Henry, the Director of the NPF National Cyber Crime Centre (NCCC), approved the actions.

On Friday, FIJ called Muyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer. He said he did not know of any illness, but he would find out from Henry and follow the matter up.

The NPF-NCCC abducted Bristol from a hotel room in Rivers State on August 5, held him incommunicado in harsh conditions for six days and then transferred him to the FCID in Abuja where he has been since.

Bristol is accused of cybercrime, terrorism financing, and breach of the Official Secrets Act (OSA), amongst other crimes.

The Police in Nigeria have a history of illegitimate arrests and extrajudicial killings. In July, Chinedu Obi, a musician better known as Zinquest, was accosted for spotting tattoos and shot in Sango, Ogun State. Only two months ago, policemen in Lagos shot two unarmed civilians — they died instantly — suspected of phone theft. In April, anti-cultism policemen killed Kolade Johnson, a civilian, at a football viewing centre in the Onipetesi, Mangoro area of Lagos. One bus driver in Ayobo, Lagos, was even shot dead by a policeman in May for refusing to part with his money. In Ifo, Ogun State, in April, a policeman shot a motorcycle rider during an argument over N100 bribe. All five incidents happened within the last six months; all six victims died in the end.

Therefore, it didn’t take too long after my arrest for me to begin to see the Police in their true elements. My supposed offence was that someone had sold me a car worth N2.8million in November 2018; however, after paying N300,000 cash, I began to avoid him — until I was eventually apprehended on Monday July 8. Once I was arrested and whisked into an innocuously passing danfo, I imagined I would be immediately taken to the cell of Pedro Police Station, Shomolu, Lagos. But it wasn’t that straightforward. I was first shoved behind the counter; and after half-an-hour, the Crime Officer (CO), Inspector Badmus, fetched me into a back office where I was grilled for close to two hours, culminating in a written statement from me that represented his thoughts more than mine. He asked me questions but only allowed me to write the answers that suited him; if the answers didn’t, he cut me short halfway. Afterwards, I was led to the expansive office of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), a tall, dark, rotund, middle-aged man who pronounced me guilty in a matter of minutes. “This is one of the many criminals destroying this city,” he yelled after a long, menacing glance all over me. “Please hold him well!”

Armed with this new order, the CO, who had been relatively civil all along, groped for my trousers then grabbed me by the waist as we made the short return trip to the counter. It was a walk of no more than 50 metres, but by the way he held me, anyone would have thought we were walking over a thousand kilometres and there was the potential for escape.

The complainant was already registering the case with a policewoman by the time we returned, and soon after they were haggling over the fees. Chigozie Odo, the policewoman, had rejected his offer of N500. After some five minutes of talking, he handed her a N1,000 note. Immediately the money touched her hand, Odo turned on me: “Look at you. Fine boy like you; just look at yourself. Instead make you go find better work, you dey defraud people. Oya, come here!”

The suspects in the cell had gathered by the iron barricade, hungering for an entrant, clinging to the bars and chillingly rolling their eyes from the policewoman to me and then to the complainant. My heart began to pound: Are they going to pummel me? Would they accept it if I offered some cash in exchange for beating?

Odo stripped me of my shirt, singlet, belt, wristwatch, shoes and cash. “Look at his hair; na you gangan be Ruggedy Baba,” she said as she unlocked the cell and bundled me in.

As I take my first steps into the cell gate, I immediately attempt to ingratiate myself with my ‘new friends’ by asking what they want — food or drink? It endears me to them, and the policewoman immediately proclaims me the new “leader”. It didn’t take quite long for the food to arrive; it was around 3pm or thereabouts and they apparently hadn’t been fed that day yet. As they guzzle their food — rice for some, bread for others — I embark on a quick, surreptitious survey of the cell.

To the right is a small opening housing a bathroom and a latrine oozing with thick fecal stench, one I very quickly resolved my buttocks would never near. To achieve this, I would eat only once daily — bread with a bottle of water or soft drink — throughout my stay. Opposite it is the smallest of the inner cells. Lying awkwardly on the floor is a mat too small to contain even one person; but every night, five or six cross-breathing inmates share it. Being the warmest inner cell, it proved the popular cell of choice — particularly at nighttime. Further ahead are two bigger cells, dingy and often damp, each measuring roughly 16 by 16 metres, with fading, defaced blue walls. Holding my head in my hands, I slump into one of the cells, enveloping myself with thoughts of the hardship to come.

“Do not disturb; the leader is in a very bad mood,” a faint voice arrests my thoughts. “Let’s come back to see him later,” adds another — that of a boy who, by his mien and slender build, couldn’t possibly be more than 15. What‘s a minor doing in detention? I motion them over.

“Wetin happen?” asks Maxwell, the fair-skinned, slim-figured, natural dreads-donning leader I inadvertently deposed minutes earlier. In the prison and in police cells, “wetin happen” is the lingo for asking an inmate or prisoner how they landed in prison or detention. I give them my prepared line and hand them the baton.

UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION (I): Bribery, bail for sale… Lagos police station where innocent civilians are held and criminals are recycled

October 14, 2019 6:50 am

Investigative journalist ‘FISAYO SOYOMBO spent two weeks in detention — five days in a Police cell and eight as an inmate in Ikoyi Prison — to track corruption in Nigeria’s criminal justice system, beginning from the moment of arrest by the Police to the point of release from prison. To experience the workings of the system in its raw state, Soyombo — adopting the pseudonym Ojo Olajumoke — feigned an offence for which he was arrested and detained in police custody, arraigned in court and eventually remanded in Prison. In the first of this three-part series, he uncovers how the Police pervert the course of justice in their quest for ill-gotten money.

It cost only N500 for a policeman to arrest me, and N1,000 for another to hurl me into a cell. Of course they didn’t know I was a journalist; I had assumed a pseudonym and grown my hair long enough — for 10 months — to blend with artificial dreads. My locks were tinted in gold and almost all my facial hair removed. I cut the profile of the kind of youth the Police indiscriminately railroad into their notoriously ramshackle vans for no reason, for onward transfer to their cells. One look at me and the typical policeman would have mistaken me for a compulsive hemp smoker, an incorrigible internet fraudster or a serial drug abuser.

If Kaduna is overrun by terrorism, FCT will suffer same issue as most prominent Northerners stay in Kaduna and own houses there. And the access Abuja easily from Kaduna.

The North will suffer if Kaduna ends up ungoverned territory in this country.

Despite the huge mount and awareness on the botched 2023 census,didn't expect a serious government to have delayed in carrying out the program by now. Government ought to know the importance of this exercise. Rayger, they fail to prioritize the issues facing the country.

There was a budget allocated for the exercise and if we check, the bulk of that money has probably vanished into thin air!

In Kaduna State, escalating abductions are driving a significant migration from rural areas to urban centers. As armed bandits intensify their attacks, residents, especially those in the outskirts like Gonin Gora and Romi, are abandoning their homes in search of safety. Despite government assurances and security forces' efforts, the rise in kidnappings is prompting widespread fear and relocation. In our live segment, Security Analyst Salaudeen Hashimu provides insights into the current security situation, evaluates the effectiveness of existing measures, and suggests strategies to enhance protection for vulnerable communities. Watch to hear expert recommendations and understand the gravity of the situation.
