I keep saying our govt is more illegal than 'illegal' as a word.

I am not surprise by this revelation. The country has already been hijacked. What differentiates our govt from terrorists. i would not doubt if the country Nigeria has been bought over be a few.

I always take consolidation in Abraham Lincoln's quote: "This too shall away".

Folu78, thanks for the advert.

I hope it is not scam

nigeria is a failed state,

Watch it!! Nigeria is NOT a failed state. She only has failed leaders

Da Doctor:

SHARAP!!!!

7BN RUNNING COST FOR 12 MONTHS?

SMALL SMALL FASHOLA TINUBU NYASH GO OPEN

Da Doc, You dey dia? I dey salute.

There is so much wanton waste of tax payers money in this country by our sit-and-chop public office holders. When EFCC was created I was happy there would be a level of respite from unnecessary corruption. Embarrassingly, EFCC has been grossly ineffective and unspartan [I wouldnt know if it is cause by too much interference from the presidency or what]. I understand with Nigerians when they jeer at EFCC's moves in their attempt to prosecute these corrupt personnels. They have not given the people any reason to believe they are the hope. It is the usual brouhaha. Their BARK is worse than their BITE. At the end, it is still water under the bridge and they live happily ever after with their public loots.

Long Live Nigeria, short live her leaders

I am fulfilled he won. 2nd or 1st he is the winner. Congratulations! It is no mean feat

hisses,

insipid!

SHAME on Libyans and AU at large.

I said it again. The future of Libyans is bleak. Iraq in the making. 35% of Libyan oil to France? then 45% for USA and the remaining % for the rest of the West? This is a sad tale.

These guys will be worst than Gaddafi

Whatever!

good riddance to bad things

who abuse them? the parents or the government or the society?

THIS GREAT SPEECH HAVE BEEN ROCKING THE WAVES OF NIGERIA FOR THE PAST TWO (2) DAYS,

THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, WHO HAVE BEWITCHED US, ?
I totally agree with Bakare's Submission on the matter, Who has bewitched us Nigerians!, E go Better, E go better, Who the Hell made that statement? HOPE is not a Strategy, Planning is what is a Strategy. Nigerians we are living on Hope, Until we start from our door steps and say NO, We will remain Idiots and Fools, Weather You say the Bible say's don't call your Neighbour Fool or Not. I will not be blinded by Religious Sentiments and allow an evil platform for the promotion of corrupt practices in Nigeria. Understand the Scriptures which ever way you want to, that's you own business and your understanding. No wonder People like Obansanjo can confuse you with Proverbs 26 vs 5 & 6. I STAND SOLIDLY BEHIND BAKARE, MATURITY IN HANDLING A PROBLEM IS NOT APPEALING TO THE PARTIES TO RETRIEVE BUT SHOWING THEM THE TRUTH AND CORRECTING IT, ELSE YOU WILL END UP LIKE JOS, WITH ALL THE VARIOUS COMMITIES UPON COMMITIES SET UP,  GOD HELP US

Well said my brother. We live by sentiment and will die by sentiment. The Nigerian community is as bad as that. The future has been compromised with sentiments. We have clutched to luck and and let go of action. God bless us.

It is not wise to wear the same outfits on introduction day. Morally, you are not suppose to be living together and leaving from the same house to introduction event. Don't forget you are not being unified yet by both families, not after traditional marriage. Wearing the same outfits, to me looks odd

Security in Nigeria is embarrasingly porous. Not until the Policing system is holistically overhauled, we will continue to chase shadows, waste resources. Corruption in the system has to be nibbed in the bud. Security will remain a mirage if there is no seamless relationship between the Security agents (especially the Police) and the Nigerian society - the citizens.

Boko Haram's threat is far too simple to infiltrate. It is a group threat and not a solo threat. Solo threat is complex to trace. These people (Boko Haram) are not phantoms but flesh and full-blooded Nigerians like others.

our secuity agents seems to be their own problem. They are just clueless. And how would they function effectively when the people they suppose to rely on for information are the same people they bastadise, maim and abuse and commit all sort of atrocities against. People no longer have confident in our security agents because they have been able to alienate themselves from the people. People believe the Police are the problems of the Nigerian Society.

I keep saying until the lost glory of Policing is restored. Police beginning to treat the citizens (tax payers) as friends - not by word or mere graffiti on their walls but actions and deeds. effective security in this part of the world will still remain a dream.

name ain't a thing. Your parents were not foolish to give you that name.

One of the most powerful families in the world bears 'BUSH'. George Bush. Can you change that?

"It is good if you can stay, but if you cannot find a wife", so said, Apostle Paul

cinzo:
This is what I have been shouting from the rooftops since! Give me electricity,good roads,good health care system and you can loot all the treasury for all I care.

But these are not even in place!

Libyans will wake up soon and realize they have shot themselves in the foot.

Well said. Who cares if and or who loots the treasury provided the common man (as the majority is known) is satisfied with the basic needs of life. Give us that sense of belonging.

If the wall ( Libya) has no opening the lizard (Nato) cannot get in,

A great leader understands the dynamics of continuation , Libya is not a family ,, it is a nation and Ghaddaffi should have used the democratic method of leadership so there was a free and fair election.


People must vote for their leaders, no point going to sit on the top of a tree where you can see the mountain top only to start feeling like you are on the mountain becos once the tree falls you are back to square one and will have to climb the mountain to see its top.

At least Nigeria is sorting itself out daily, and climbing our mountain small by small, our elections are getting better every time and we are not being run by a single family.

people must vote their leaders? Just like what we are having in Nigeria? What are votes and leaders when they are not leading? No dividends of votes whatsoever?

Some of us don't seem to understand the yearnings of Nigerians. Rule with your family but spoil us with our basic needs, even with affordable costs. After all Nigeria has already been run by a family. Check the political landscape, it harbours recycled people that keep rigmarole the polity.

Nigeria is not sorting itself. In fact, things seem regressing not even stagnant. No sign, there is hope.

The west has become a serious virus to the Continent of Africa. As a president in Africa, if you don't bend to be extorted, the incite the people, your neighbours against you. In as much as I strongly condemn absolute powers and bad leaders, I will always be a proponent of truth and justice in all ramifications.

A day of reckoning will soon come. We will be free.

, burst in, WTF!!!!!!!

next person pls

Whoever believes this report the Police is naive.

Police don't tell the truth, they always look for a way to prove they are working. Working in deed! Those they parade as the kidnappers, I pity them. I have no doubt they are victims of circumstance and will never go scot free.

I am sure they raided a joint and arrested those people and labelled them 'kidnappers' or forced them to accept they are the kidnappers. The issue is not an isolated cases, they abound especially in Lagos.

I have been in one, but God saved me i was able to bail myself and those who were not lucky were paraded as criminals. How would you justify your innocence in the Nigerian system. Police on patrol have committed unfathomable attrocities against innocent Nigerians. Whoever lacks this experience will alway extol the NPF

The story is not detailed. I would not want to bore us with lengthy write up.

I worked late. i was at the bus stop somewhere on Opebi, Ikeja, waiting to catch any available bus home. It was late - 11 - 11.30pm. The restriction on Okada movement made it worst.

Lo and behold, a bus [Danfo in Navy colour] pulled over in front of us. I was happy, I was going home at last after waiting for a time that seems like eternity at the bus stop.

My happiness was ephemeral when those who emerged from the bus were Policemen. They ordered us into the bus and called us wanderers. I showed my ID card and tried to explain why i was there at that time of the night. I was wasting my time trying to knock them down with a feather. You would only embarras your self or get killed if you struggle or argue stupidly trying to justify your innocence to whatever accusation they labelled on you.

Instead to take us to their station at area F, they decided to take us round the city of lagos preying on other people. At about 2am, that was when we got to their station.

At the station they asked us to bail ourself or we would be charged to court at Alausa for any criminal offence they may wish. Can you imagine that? One of them [met in the station] which our path had crossed sometime in the past, confided that i should give them whatever i had so that I could leave the place without them soiling my integrity. I considered calling a friend of mind who is a lawyer and at the same was discouraged by the Nigerian system in the Police force. At last I settled for an option of bailing myself. I was not bucks up, I asked to be allowed to visit any ATM around the station to get some cash. My phone was ceased to be convinced I would not flee. I later returned to station and gave them N3k after much arguement that it should be N5K. After giving them the money, they made advances for friendship, requesting for my business call card and phone numbers. It was a pathetic situation.

The fate of those who were still there was only known by God.
You can only deal with them if you can bug your confrontation with. It may admissible in your legal proceeding.

I don't see them as a functional public service agent but glorified criminals.

Becos our govt official can not launder in coin. It is needless for them and the common man is not considered. It is an evidence of bad govt with no vision for growth. The same coins were minted some years back with tax payers funds but now nobody remebers them due to govt policies.

may GOD help us.

Whoever believes any news from 'Wazobia Report' must be a CLOWN like them.

Users should be sanctioned for carrying news from these national clowns to NL. We have had enough of these puns

Are they not typical boko haram? How would you define terrorism and then you exonerate the Nigerian Police. Very ridiculous when you send terrorists to tackle terrorists.

What baffles me about these guys (men of the NPF), is that they are Nigerians (flesh and blood) like any other Nigerian. But once they join the 'force', they turn monster. Do they make monsters there?

Typically is a friend of mind who was recruited to the 'force' years ago, this guy was coolheaded/levelheaded and well mannered. In fact, he was an inspiration and mentor, but since he was inducted, he turned a monster and I blacklisted him on my list of friends. He is just an acquaintance now.

Just voted for my lil baby brother. I pray he wins. he is cute, I hope you are as cute as he is

Can one vote as many time as possible?

A law against indecent dressing? SMH

What is your definition of indecent/decent dressing? Each and everyone of us on NL will give different definitions of indecent/decent dressing.

Does your definition of indecent dressing includes ladies wearing trousers? To me, that's part of indecent dressing (in African standard). What are your yardsticks of determining indecent dressing?  

It will be inept to make such laws by the govt, rather our institutions, like the family, church, school, social centres, etc, should be alive to it responsibilities of inculcating values and moral into our youths. These negative fashion trends are most visible in the afore-mentioned institutions.

The world has evolved so does indecency, but with right attitude indecency can be reduced.

Insipid news!

I have no doubt the two (Gov Junior and Colonel) had a confrontation, but I doubted the way the news was reported. The reporter did not tell us exactly what happened.

I doubt if the Gov jnr just walked into a Supermart and ordered people out and claimed 'na just me'. Haba! is he god? or anti fellow human? Something must have prompted their confrontation. That's the part i want to hear otherwise, this is another Nollywood new released Part 1.

Nollywood movie part 1. 2 coming soon!!!!!!!!!!

Ghana should be the thanking God that the match embarrasment[b][/b] was shifted. However, with some of the key players not present, it would have been a disaster for Ghana.

May be in October the embarrasment will be lessen.

Chei Ghana!

[color=#0066ff]Yeah Strict Rules and fears of sleeping behind bars! [/color]

See my point? if parents can go as far putting their child behind bars as a sort of 'child discpline', how much more applying a little cane. Rod is apt.

Big Meat:
By using the rod when necessary, but most importantly with all love and care.

Proverbs 23: 13-14

13. Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die.
14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell. – Douay-Rheims American Edition.

13. Do not withhold correction from a child,
For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
14. You shall beat him with a rod,
And deliver his soul from hell. - NKJV.

Please, I stand corrected If I am wrong. I wonder if there is any other meaning to 'rod' as written in the Proverbs (King James Version) - Captioned above by Big Meat.

Some people keep saying 'rod' does not necessarily mean cane. To me, Cane is a necessity of child's discipline. Scolding does not really bring out the desired result in some cases. It takes a good child to adapt to scolding.

The Bible was written by God-discerning minds. They knew the importance of cane in discipline. If the fear of cane is the beginning of wisdom to that child why not apply it?

How does this contribute to knowledge?

It does contribute to knowledge. Like tushutt intelligently quoted: "The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder". It is such a beautiful quote. It may not be relevant to you, but I believe the Poster of this thread needed knowledge. I am dead sure other people like myself have learnt one or two things from the different comments on this thread. "The urge to gain knowledge is the wish to learn even from children".

To me: there is no foolish comments in a forum.

What happen if the cash stuffed into the ATM are counterfeit?

NO. he does not. Duty of his ADC.
