Soludo Mulls Plan For New City Along Amansea, Ufuma Route by okey chris

I've bravely ventured the idea in several quarters that many states in Nigeria could do better long term (cost effective) starting afresh with new cities than investing in sanitising the current ones.

My frustrations with Gumi are that there's no ground in the law of the land to arrest him and the fact that he's been sympathizing with them bad guys. But this guy has good rapport with these terrorists, unfortunately you can't do anything to him, because you can't accuse him of any law breach, just the instinct and guts which doesn't count in law

For some time the Uk had a similar problem with one Abu Hamza al-Masri.

Everyone is just giving their own version of the story, let an independent commission of enquiry be set up and we will be shocked at the outcome of what really transpired.

Another group are saying that Tantita security outfit owned by Tompolo which is responsible for guiding oil pipelines and filled with Ijaw ex militants have been using the cover of its contract with FG on oil pipelines protection to carry out attacks against riverine communities from other tribes.
Then the Okuama youths received 'faulty intelligence' that they were coming to invade but unfortunately it happened to be soldiers and Tantita agents also wear military uniforms in some of their operations and it was when the dust settled that they realised that the people killed were soldiers.

This is the danger of handing over the country's security to non state actors like Tantita security and other private outfits and granting them licence to military grade weapons, its a failure from all sides that has led to the ongoing calamity

Who can reasonably argue with this.

Politics / Re: Soldiers’ Killing: Okuama Community Leader Accuses Nigerian Army Of Mass Killing by Litmus: 10:42am On Mar 19
We're reminded again the need for revolution in policing. More police, better training, more branches such as Highway Police, Park Rangers, Armed Police Units, Forensics Units etc; better pay and pension, better quarters, stations.....


Army are essentially the crude, shock unit of the national security ecosystem. We could expect finesse from them but shouldn't be too shocked by resultant brute actions when we send them to do work that may require delicacy and sensitivity. We are in Nigeria overburdening the military.

Politics / Re: Okuama Community In Delta State Set Ablaze Days After Soldiers Were Killed by Litmus: 2:21pm On Mar 17
All well meaning Nigerians call for the military to act with restraint. Still, the killing of 13 soldiers, including Officers, by villagers (not people in thire capacity as terrorists, insurrectionists or insurgents) isn't an inconsequential development.
One wonders how the always referenced exemplary militaries of elsewhere would handle this type of calamity.

Elon Musk has, before now, only released the highly anticipated FSD 12 to his acolytes i.e YouTubers guaranteed to say positive things about anything that Elon Musk does. Elon has steadfastly snubbed YouTubers like Chuck Cook, Dirty Tesla and Black Tesla. Ironically, this last three YouTubers had arguably done most to provide Elon Musk with the Test Driving data Elon Musk wanted in order to program his Dojo computing systems.

Tinubu’s Appointees Are Nigeria’s Problems – Allen Onyema by

Mister Onyema, one of my all time favourite Nigerians, would protect himself from being accused of Veiled Criticism of mister president if he had stated instead that mister president is limited by the calibre of personal open to him for appointments.

The right delegating is also the mark of competency.

freemanq:
So poor Nigerians should die because they don't have NIN? What have we gained since they started this NIN wahala?

What did you lose since they started NIN?

This is a more important question than you may at first realise. One reason lies in the fact that NINs are as much about intentionally disenfranchising some individuals as it is about adding value to the wellbeing of others.

Without citizens data, the Nigeria state may as well budget in advance for all of West and Central Africa, if it is to stand any chance of meaningfully progressing Nigeria.
Politics / Re: We Can’t Have Intervention Programmes For Poor People Without NIN – Tinubu by Litmus: 11:59am On Mar 16
President Bola Tinubu has declared that without National Identity Card registration and comprehensive data coverage, it is nearly impossible for the government to provide social welfare measures for low-income people.

Indeed("data coverage"especially). Same applies to nearly every aspect of national development.

If Nigeria wants to become that exemplary super power nation for the black world that she is capable of being, I don't know how to express urgently enough how crucial it is for Nigeria to get to grips with it's unwieldy population by quantifying them in Data Records.
Politics / Re: Border Reopening: FG Gets $1.3 Billion Funding For Rail Link To Niger Republic by Litmus: 3:12am On Mar 14
Those questioning Nigeria's sovereignty make sense. Any individual who thinks of it long enough - regardless of whether the individual is naturally delusional -would concede that, overall, any railway from Nigeria to Niger Republic advantages Niger Republic above Nigeria. From this they should conclude that the rail line is for Niger Republic not Nigeria. The question then arises why is Nigeria borrowing money for a railway meant for Niger Republic ? The obvious answer would be that Niger Republic asked Nigeria to loan money to build railway for Niger Republic that encroaches into Nigeria, money that Niger Republic could not borrow because Niger Republic wasn't credit worthy enough. Worst, it may be that a none African nation that owns Niger Republic ordered Nigeria to pay for a railway line for her asset Niger Republic. A railway line into Nigeria that benefits that none African nation and Niger Republic and, humiliatingly, Nigeria must foot the bill.

He who orders you to slap yourself, and you had to do so, absolutely owns you!

Crime / Re: Enugu Lawyer, Eli Ugwu, Shot Dead In Kogi After Delivering Ransom To Kidnappers by Litmus: 11:45am On Mar 13
Composure under pressure and ways of identifying the right target in tight, fraught situations need to be a large part of SWAT police training in Nigeria if not already the case.
Crime / Re: Enugu Lawyer, Eli Ugwu, Shot Dead In Kogi After Delivering Ransom To Kidnappers by Litmus: 11:23am On Mar 13
If the lawyer was shot by police then it is reasonable to imagine that the police mistook him and cousin for the kidnappers. Further that there may have been a prior plan or strategy in place to deal with the kidnap situation involving police and layer that tragically unraveled at the crucial moment (heat of the moment).

These sorts of things happen - ironically termed "Friendly Fire" Incident. Nigeria did not invent the term.

N40 trillion - just enough to buoy the economies of Niger, Bukina Fasso and Mali until Russia is ready to step in.

Nigeria just needs to creat a Bank of Free mony on the Northern borders for the people of the Sahel so that they will leave us alone.

While at it set up freebie grain silos for them because without Western Aid they are going to face starvation in the coming years.....

Nigeria could import US feral pigs. They breed worst than rats. These pigs were imported to America from Russia. Nigeria has the ideal climate for the proliferation of this type of critter.

There's much the Nigeria state could do to fight hunger if hunger is an actual situation in Nigeria and not just a politicised one.

These feral pigs cause billions of damage, but some chefs and meat purveyors are putting this pork on the map – and menus

Nigerians complaining about speed without realising how lucky they are that they have the option to speed undecided Order is good, too much of it is bad for humanity.

One of the things I've often wished Nigeria would implement are specific highways without speed limit. Something like the German autobahn that are sadly being criticised by other nations that are part of the European Union. I hope Germany remain resolute and leave the Autobahn speeding free.

Well, if Nigerians say they are starving, the Nigeria government has the right to requisition food for Nigerians that Nigeria farmers or traders are intending for trade with foreign nations.

In an environment of food emergency, the Nigeria government has the right to place the ever gaping mouths and rumbling stomachs of Nigerians before trading cereals with other nations. Towards, this end government may mandate as illegal the trading of farm produce outside Nigeria. Consequently, traders ferrying produce for trade abroad may be considered smugglers.

Abroad Japper Immigration preventers, " we are restricting Nigeria visitors. Obviously Nigerians visiting UK are likely to abscond due to starvation in Nigeria."
