TheFreeOne:Which do you feel might the way to go for the individual regions: restructuring or dissolution? |
[img]https://i./1Oyc.gif[/img] Also, will they set up a team to "engage" with the small businesses and others affected by this? ![]() https://punchng.com/twitterban-job-losses-loom-economic-woes-to-worsen-nesg-experts-warn/ https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/6/7/nigerian-twitter-ban-how-government-restriction-affects-people https://www.financialwatchngr.com/2021/06/22/how-small-businesses-are-taking-the-hit-on-twitter-ban/ |
thebosstrevor1:So you're saying we should also ban Facebook as well? ![]() We should ban all social media in Nigeria? What effect will that have on small businesses in general, as well as the IT and tech industries in particular? https://punchng.com/twitterban-job-losses-loom-economic-woes-to-worsen-nesg-experts-warn/ https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/6/7/nigerian-twitter-ban-how-government-restriction-affects-people https://www.financialwatchngr.com/2021/06/22/how-small-businesses-are-taking-the-hit-on-twitter-ban/ Just like governments, politicians, businesspeople and cattle herding, social media can contribute towards good as well as bad: https://www.nairaland.com/6614384/sadiya-ate-raw-leaves-children |
MansoryMX:Read it again closely. That guy's post is sarcasm. Though with the rampant crazy, sycophantic behaviour, it's difficult to tell on Nairaland. ![]() |
Who in their right mind didn't know this would happen? ![]() Economists and business analysts both within and outside of Nigeria stated as much. https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/6/7/nigerian-twitter-ban-how-government-restriction-affects-people https://punchng.com/twitterban-job-losses-loom-economic-woes-to-worsen-nesg-experts-warn/ |
thebosstrevor1: Simplyleo:So these are "scams"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimbo_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatu_massacres https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herder%E2%80%93farmer_conflicts_in_Nigeria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulani_extremism_in_Nigeria So if, according to you, politicians are paying a group to massacre thousands of civilians, is that not a serious issue? ![]() |
Meanwhile, people complain about those protesting against police brutality (or protesting at all), but then turn around and cheer and defend things like this happening. |
uptimumOne23:Is "IPOB" your go-to for everything? I guess things like Boko Haram were also a creation of "IPOB" as well, right? And are you trying to imply that there's no such thing as illegal detention in Nigeria? https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/447046-illegal-detention-ecowas-court-orders-nigeria-to-pay-german-n63-6million-10000.html https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/may/27/nigerian-forces-accused-of-torture-and-illegal-detention-of-children-report |
mu2sa2:This is a global ranking of cities around the world. How would this Nigerian firm reliably assess those other cities? This "Vaay" aren't even the only ones saying this: Lagos Ranks 139 out of 140 most liveable city in the world, worst in Africa. (2021) https://nairametrics.com/2021/06/09/lagos-ranks-139-out-of-140-most-liveable-city-in-the-world-worst-in-africa/ Lagos State Ranks Third Worst City To Live In The World (2018) https://www.guardian.ng/life/lagos-state-ranks-third-worst-city-to-live-in-the-world/ Most Stressful Cities In Africa (Lagos #1) http://databod.com/most-stressful-cities-in-africa/ |
thebosstrevor1:Once again, that "independent group" is funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as well as the U.S. State Department and Department of Justice, as well as branches of the U.S. military, and contracts work (including the report) for the U.S. government: https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/oup_coefactsheet_start_07192019.pdf https://www.hsdl.org/?abstract&did=816000 thebosstrevor1:Are you actually trying to insinuate that the Fulani extremists haven't attacked THE SAME THING, on top of the scores and scores of civilians they've massacred? ![]() What?!?? ![]() |
thebosstrevor1:They are considered a subset of the herdsmen, and the report states that the aims of their activities center on grazing. (see screenshot) thebosstrevor1:Neither IPOB nor "Biafra" are any of my business (not to mention getting into off-topic whataboutism), but I do find it interesting that outside of Nigeria, IPOB wasn't considered a terrorist group, especially when they were proscribed, but the militant Fulani groups who have been considered as such for YEARS have yet to be proscribed by the federal government. Also, in regards to the bolded: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulani_extremism ... unless IPOB has had a death count in the literally thousands, I don't see how they have managed to kill more Nigerians.

thebosstrevor1:Did you somehow skip the part of my post that contained a DIRECT LINK to the report itself? ![]() Did you skip over a direct screenshot of the report that was in my post? ![]() Since, it seems you did, here they are AGAIN: https://reliefweb.int/report/world/global-terrorism-index-2015-measuring-and-understanding-impact-terrorism
|
thebosstrevor1: thebosstrevor1:It wasn't the article itself that gave them that ranking. Like the article says, the ranking comes directly from the 2015 Global Terrorism Index: https://reliefweb.int/report/world/global-terrorism-index-2015-measuring-and-understanding-impact-terrorism ... with data from the Department of Homeland Security-funded National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Terrorism_Index https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Consortium_for_the_Study_of_Terrorism_and_Responses_to_Terrorism ...a terror monitoring agency as you asked for here: thebosstrevor1:

thebosstrevor1:Right here... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/global-terrorism-index-nigerian-fulani-militants-named-fourth-deadliest-terror-group-world-a6739851.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulani_extremism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herder-farmer_conflicts_in_Nigeria This has been common news for years. |
Nigerians should listen to Trump? ![]() People in Nigeria Are Poisoning Themselves With Chloroquine After Trump Said It Was A Cure For Coronavirus https://www.vice.com/en/article/4ag8dn/people-in-nigeria-are-poisoning-themselves-with-chloroquine-after-trump-said-it-was-a-cure-for-coronavirus Nigeria records chloroquine poisoning after Trump endorses it for coronavirus treatment https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/23/africa/chloroquine-trump-nigeria-intl/index.html |
Outside of the military, each state should be responsible for their own local security. Having all power centralized at the federal level hasn't yielded fruit. |
Edusouls:This is "saving Nigeria from total destruction"? ![]() Nigeria Is a Failed State https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/05/27/nigeria-is-a-failed-state/ Nigeria ranks 146th on Global Peace Index, 8th least peaceful in Africa https://m.guardian.ng/news/nigeria/nigeria-ranks-146th-on-global-peace-index-8th-least-peaceful-in-africa/ Six years after, Buhari has failed to keep promise of securing Nigeria https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/464754-analysis-six-years-after-buhari-has-failed-to-keep-promise-of-securing-nigeria.html Once Africa’s promise, Nigeria is heaving under crime, few jobs https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/6/15/once-africas-promise-nigeria-is-heaving-under-crime-scare-jobs |
Vaughanlanrewaj:This is "excellent leadership"? Nigeria ranked third-worst nation in new global good governance index https://m.guardian.ng/news/nigeria-ranked-third-worst-nation-in-new-global-good-governance-index/ ![]() |
The 2021 Global Peace Index ( GPI ) has ranked Nigeria 146 among 163 independent nations and territories , according to its level of peacefulness .

Edusouls:But it was okay for the same Buhari to tell other presidents to resign? ![]() Buhari Asks Jonathan To Resign Over Insecurityhttps://www.nairaland.com/1298403/buhari-asks-jonathan-resign-over |
Rissamenti:You call this "OKAY"? ![]() Disorder is a huge impediment for growth, costing the economy $10.3 billion in 2020 — more than the federal government’s total revenue that same year, according to official estimates. Without key reforms, Nigeria’s economy will remain anemic, expanding little more than 2% this year and next, still below the population growth rate, according to the International Monetary Fund.https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/6/15/once-africas-promise-nigeria-is-heaving-under-crime-scare-jobs |
Can someone remind me why we're trying to throw stones at India when even much of our transport depends on India? ![]() https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVS_Motor_Company They have a global-scale heavy Industry, including the likes of TATA (owners of Land Rover and Jaguar), something we don't have. |
So all of those ex-governors and former senators who were prosecuted didn't steal? ![]() |
blowjohn:At least they can partly lay blame on their high population. What's our excuse? Poverty Capitalhttps://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/6/15/once-africas-promise-nigeria-is-heaving-under-crime-scare-jobs |
Almaigaa:So someone residing in another state who was exonerated and freed is "one of those unknown gunmen"? Where is your proof? |
So we're listening to Indians now? ![]() https://www.nairaland.com/6608472/indian-shades-nigeria-over-twitter Which Indians should we or should we not listen to? |
blowjohn:We have no room to talk... Nigeria overtakes India in extreme poverty ranking https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/26/africa/nigeria-overtakes-india-extreme-poverty-intl/index.html Oil-rich Nigeria outstrips India as country with most people in poverty https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/jul/16/oil-rich-nigeria-outstrips-india-most-people-in-poverty |
thebosstrevor1:So who exactly is it that determines what IS or ISN'T a human right, especially given the below? Human rights are moral principles or norms for certain standards of human behaviour and are regularly protected in municipal and international law. The doctrine of human rights has been highly influential within international law and global and regional institutions. Actions by states andnon-governmental organisations form a basis of public policy worldwide. The United Nations (UN) is the only multilateral governmental agency with universally accepted international jurisdiction for universal human rights legislation.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights The Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( UDHR ) is an international document adopted by the United Nations General Assembly that enshrines the rights and freedoms of all human beings.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights Just like natural law, human rights has foundations in natural rights. But also just like natural law and natural rights, "human rights" and "natural rights" are NOT synonyms. |
thebosstrevor1:Which big corporations fund the United Nations? Which big corporations fund Human Rights Watch? And many of the other world governments are NGO's? ![]() Also... People have to pay for food. Food is considered a right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_food People have to pay for water and sanitation. Water, especially clean water, and sanitation are considered rights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_right_to_water_and_sanitation You have to pay to own private property. Private property is considered a right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_property You have to pay for clothes. Clothes are considered a right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_clothing Even though education is free (and compulsory) in many modernized countries, many people still have to pay in poor countries such as Nigeria. Education is considered a right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_education A decent standard of living requires money. A decent standard of living is considered a right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_an_adequate_standard_of_living BONUS: The right to protest is also considered a right, even if the Nigerian government seems to think otherwise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_protest |
thebosstrevor1:The Tunisian government, the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, the Internet Governance Forum, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (and many additional world governments) are "corporations"? ![]() |
thebosstrevor1:So then what is this? ![]() https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_Internet_access https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights |
“I am expecting the National Bureau of Statistics to show the reality on ground in terms of the situation for this month. The international community has its own way of collating its statistics, and it is more realistic to what is on ground than what our government is saying. I think the international statistics of the World Bank is more realistic.As this points out, we've seen multiple examples of contradictions resulting from NBS' data ![]() |
