Israel is deporting enemies of Israel living in Israel but working against Israel. This new law applies to Arab/Palestinian Israelis and their families. It's a landmark achievement!

If you, your child, father or family member commit acts of terrorism against Israel, every member of that family will be deported to Gaza, Iran, Afghanistan or Lebanon.
That is genocide. Even in my family,everybody is his own self. I am not responsible for my brothers crime nor is he responsible for my own transgressions.

This is how one doctor was kidnapped and these misplaced idiots who lack empathy for their patients but think only of their ego went on strike abandoning the very lives to were supposed to try to save

She or her husband is from the same town with Ganduje, hence the name use and not a daughter to the former Governor (Present National Chairman).

Kwankwaso,Tambuwal, Makarfi, Wammako, Yar'adua, e.t.c are all names of villages and towns in respective northern states. So you would see a good number of people bearing such names with actually no blood or filial relationship.

Doctors Withdraw Services At Kano Hospital Over Commissioner's Alleged Assault On Colleague

The NMA has issued an ultimatum to the Kano State Government to sack the commissioner .

The Kano State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has ordered its members to suspend services at the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, Kano over an alleged assault on its member by the state Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs, Amina Abdullahi Ganduje.

The NMA also issued an ultimatum to the state Governor Abba Yusuf to sack Mrs Abdullahi.

The union said the alleged actions of the official "constitute misconduct, punishable by dismissal as enshrined in Section 3(a)(0), (iü), (iv), and (v) of the Public Service Rules."

In a statement signed by its Chairperson, Abdurrahman Ali: and secretary, Ibrahim Muhammad; the NMA said it was "deeply alarmed and outraged" by the incident that took place on 1 November at the Emergency Paediatric Unit of Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital.

"In this distressing incident, a female doctor on duty, who was all alone manning all the paediatric units in the hospital with over a hundred patients in her care, was subjected to harassment and physical assault by a group led by the Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs, Amina Abdullahi, HOD, accompanied by security personnel and other unidentified men.

"This assault arose over the unavailability of a prescribed medication-an issue that was entirely beyond the doctor's control," the NMA stated.

The group said as a representative body for medical professionals, "the NMA Kano Branch finds it particularly disturbing that an official entrusted with the welfare of the state's citizens would misuse their authority in this manner.

"Such actions not only demonstrate a lack of empathy for the hard-working healthcare professionals but also reveal a troubling disregard for the systemic challenges facing our public health sector, such as chronic understaffing, resource shortages, and security concerns for medical staff.

"Incidents like this are becoming all too frequent, putting medical professionals at unacceptable personal risk while they strive to fulfill their duties to the public under highly challenging conditions."


The association said it discussed the incident at its recently concluded Ordinary General Meeting (0GM), "and we unequivocally condemned the misused of authority, thus, the Association's Congress has resolved to call for the dismissal of the commissioner who has demonstrated a gross lack of respect and compassion for frontline healthcare workers and a disturbing disregard for the ethical standards expected of public office holders.

"Also, the NMA demands the implementation of the minimum benchmark for the number of doctors required to provide adequate care thereby preventing the extreme overstretching of medical personnel, which puts both patients and healthcare workers at risk.

"We call for the immediate provision and continuous maintenance of adequate security measures in all units of the hospital to ensure the safety of medical staff and patients alike" the NMA said.

Notice of Suspension of Services

The NMA gave its members a 48 hours ultimatum to suspend all medical services indefinitely at the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital.

The association said the "painful decision reflects the gravity of the challenges and risks that healthcare professionals face daily.

"Our doctors and healthcare staff deserve a safe, respectful, and adequately supported working environment to effectively serve the people of Kano State", it added.

The association said it was aware that the decision would affect the immediate availability of services in one of the state's busiest hospitals. However, it said the measure was necessary to highlight the urgent need for action.

"Our intent is to underscore the unsustainable conditions under which healthcare professionals are working, conditions that threaten the quality of care available to the public. We appeal to the good people of Kano and the entire Nigerian public to understand that this decision is not intended to punish patients or deprive them of care.

"On the contrary, it is a critical step toward fixing our ailing healthcare system and securing a safer environment for all healthcare professionals, which ultimately benefits everyone.

"The NMA remains committed to working with the government and all stakeholders to restore and strengthen Kano's health system so that every resident can receive timely and quality medical care," the association said.

Call to Action by the government

The NMA also called on Governor Abba Yusuf to act swiftly in addressing the issues it has raised.

"The safety, dignity, and well-being of our healthcare workers must be prioritised to prevent the disruption of services that are already limited. We hope that this incident will serve as a catalyst for the long-overdue reforms needed to ensure that healthcare professionals can continue their vital work in an environment of respect and security.

"The NMA Kano stands in solidarity with all healthcare workers across the state and will remain steadfast in advocating for their rights, safety, and well-being. We are confident that, with the support of the government, stakeholders, and the public, we can build a more resilient healthcare system that meets the needs of the people of Kano State," the statement concluded.

bitbillionaire:
I understand it's human to be sentimental. But sentiment aside, the question any honest person who has real integrity would like to ask is: did the so called minors actually commit crimes or not? If yes, are they supposed to be automatically exonerated just because they are minors?

We all saw the video evidence of the 'minors' going about looting and burning down both government and private properties, calling on the military and Russian government to take over while waving the Russian flags.

I am not a lawyer but from my understanding there is nowhere in the world where people who commit crimes are allowed to go unpunished just because they are minors! Yes, the punishment given to minors might be less severe compared to what an adult who commit similar crime would receive but they must still be punished one way or the other!
No sentiments here.
1-They have not been proven to commit any crimes yet, everything is alleged.
2-The law states you cannot detain a minor for more than 72 hours.
3-There has been riots in Lagos, (#ENDSars) we did not see the president advocate for minors to be locked up. Was everybody in the #Endsars riot over 18 years old ?? Why did Lagos state not lock up the minors ?

Anybody who has committed treason or suspected treason should be charged with same. It is rather unfortunate that a region who accepted 12 years as marriage age will protest against arraignment of individuals above 12 years of age when they are charged with suspected treasonable felony. If age of marriage in the North is 12 years and above, then age of responsibility should also be 12 years and above.
I fault the government for holding them longer than 72 hours before charging them to court.
Wrong is wrong.

Their fundamental constitutional human right has being violated, by not charging them in 72 hours, This is tantamount to being kidnapped by the federal government.
PoliticsRe: Northern Rascalities And The Children Court Drama by malali:
This recent tendency to vilify the North of Nigeria under the guise of addressing extremism and radicalism is not only misguided but dangerously reductive. It’s an insult to the diverse realities of the region, its people, and the complex issues they face. To paint the entire North with a broad brush of lawlessness and violence while turning a blind eye to the very real grievances that fuel protests is not only irresponsible but also intellectually lazy.

Yes, the North has its challenges, but so do the South and every other part of this great nation. Let’s not pretend that we are all on the same page when it comes to the myriad issues that plague Nigeria. Our problems may manifest differently, but the underlying frustrations—economic hardship, inflation, and poor governance—are common threads that bind us. If the protests in the North have been loud, they echo the cries for justice and equity that resonate in every corner of the country.

Your narrative suggests that northern voices are not to be taken seriously, yet here we are, facing a staggering 39% inflation in less than a year, with petrol prices skyrocketing by 500%. To label those protesting this dire situation as “rascals” is not only disrespectful but also trivializes the urgency of their grievances. It’s easy to dismiss the cries for help when one is seated comfortably in a privileged position, detached from the realities that many Nigerians face daily.

Let’s talk about the #EndSARS protests, which were not isolated to one region.They swept across the nation, igniting passions and highlighting a collective demand for accountability and reform. The toll gate that was burnt, an act of desperation and anger, was not solely a northern affair. It was a reflection of nationwide discontent with the system that has failed to protect the very people it purports to serve. You cannot pick and choose which protests deserve recognition while labeling others as mere acts of chaos.

The insinuation that northern politicians are solely to blame for the plight of northern youths is a cheap shot. It deflects responsibility away from the systemic issues that have plagued Nigeria for decades. We cannot continue to allow politicians—of any region—to destroy the future of our youths while they stash away their ill-gotten gains abroad. If we are to grow as a nation, we need to hold all our leaders accountable, irrespective of their geographical affiliations.

To suggest that any criticism or expression of dissatisfaction in the North is inherently extremist is not only ignorant but also deeply harmful. It perpetuates a false narrative that undermines the legitimate concerns of millions of Nigerians. We are not asking for sympathy; we are demanding respect and acknowledgment of our rights as citizens of this great country. Our votes matter, and so do our protests. If you can rally support during an election, you should be willing to listen to the voices of those who feel abandoned by the system.

We all share the same destiny. A prosperous South cannot thrive on the back of a neglected North. If the North remains in a deplorable state, it will drag the entire nation down. The progress recorded in any region of Nigeria will be inherently linked to the stability and growth of every other region.

So let’s put an end to this narrative of vilification. If you want to engage in a meaningful discourse about Nigeria’s future, do so with an understanding of the complexities that define our diverse nation. Instead of hiding behind tired stereotypes, let’s tackle the real issues that face us all. The North deserves better than to be a scapegoat for the failings of our leaders and our society.

If you think you can keep spewing your uninformed rhetoric without consequences, think again. We will not be silenced, and we will not be dismissed. The North will rise, not in defiance but in solidarity with all of Nigeria, demanding a better future for everyone.

PoliticsThe Silence Of The Monarchs: Nigeria’s Traditional Rulers Must Speak Up by malali(op): 5:13am On Nov 02, 2024
In a nation rich with tradition and cultural heritage, the role of traditional rulers stands as a testament to the values that bind us together. The first-class emirs and monarchs of Nigeria, including the Sultan of Sokoto, the Emir of Zazzau,Emir of Kano,Etsu Nupe,Alaafin of oyo, Ooni of ife,Tor Tiv, Obong of Calabar,Olu of warri,Obi of Onitsha,Oba of Lagos.Oba Benin,Attah of Igala. and other revered figures, are meant to be the custodians of our history and champions of our people. Yet, as the government targets vulnerable children—those who cannot read nor write—for accusations of treason, we find ourselves at a troubling crossroads. Their silence in the face of such injustice raises pressing questions: Are they complicit? Are they afraid? Or are they merely indifferent to the plight of their own people?

The current administration’s stance on dissent is alarming. We witness the arrest of minors, young souls who should be playing, learning, and dreaming—yet instead, they find themselves ensnared in a web of political machinations. The charges of treason against children are not just a violation of their rights; they are a stark indicator of the authoritarian grip tightening around our democracy. In stark contrast, the protests against Abacha’s oppressive regime saw no such barbarism. Minors were not locked up in prisons; voices rose together, united against tyranny.

Where are our elder statesmen? Where are the figures of influence who once championed our collective aspirations? They have gone quiet as the current regime attempts to stifle the voices of the oppressed. One cannot help but wonder if the silence is borne from fear or from financial ties to a government that now embodies dictatorial tendencies cloaked in the guise of democracy. What assurances does this administration provide to the monarchs? How much money is exchanged behind closed doors, allowing them to overlook the suffering of the very people they are sworn to protect?

We are living in an era where those who should be the vanguards of our nation’s moral compass have become curiously mute. Is their inaction a result of fear of reprisals from President Asiwaju or perhaps a reluctance to confront an administration that has shown little tolerance for dissent? If they fear speaking out, how then can they claim the mantle of leadership? How can they call themselves the guardians of our traditions when they stand idle as those traditions are trampled underfoot?

The essence of leadership is accountability, yet we are witnessing a concerning abandonment of that principle. The silence of the traditional rulers is a betrayal of their roles as protectors and advocates for their communities. It is time they rise and lend their voices to those who have none.

The Nigerian spirit has always been one of resilience, a fierce determination that flows through our veins. We are not afraid of our oppressors. We have weathered storms before, and we will continue to do so. Anti-oppression runs deep within us, igniting our fight for justice, equality, and the rights of every Nigerian, regardless of age or background.

Asiwaju’s administration must be held accountable for its actions. It is a call to arms for those who have long been regarded as the voices of the voiceless. The silence must break, and the time for action is now. Our traditional rulers, elder statesmen, and all those in positions of power must rise from the shadows of complacency. They must reclaim their roles as defenders of the people and reject the fear that has stifled their voices for far too long.

In the end, the strength of a nation lies not in the hands of its oppressors but in the courage of its people and their leaders. It is time to stand against the tide of tyranny and declare, once and for all, that we will not be silenced. We will not allow the innocence of our children to be sacrificed at the altar of political expediency. Nigeria deserves better, and it is the duty of all, especially our traditional rulers, to ensure that better is not just a hope, but a reality.

PoliticsRe: Even Underage Children Not Spared From T-Pain’s Wickedness – Atiku Blasts Tinubu by malali:
In Nigeria’s current political climate, justice appears to have assumed a new meaning. Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we now witness the grim spectacle of minors being locked up and facing treason charges merely for daring to protest the government’s recent actions. These are not hardened criminals or hostile insurgents; they are children – young Nigerians who simply had the courage to raise their voices against decisions that have drastically affected their families’ livelihoods and futures. Yet, for speaking out, they are now branded as enemies of the state, facing bail terms so exorbitant that even adult offenders charged with violence do not encounter.

Consider the facts: while the removal of the oil and forex subsidies may have been justified economically, the rapid implementation without sufficient safety nets has had severe consequences. Prices have skyrocketed overnight. Food and essential services now cost 30% more, with no immediate reprieve in sight. These children are protesting because they are hungry, because their education is disrupted, and because their families are struggling. In any just society, the people’s right to protest is foundational. But in today’s Nigeria, expressing opposition is reinterpreted as a crime against the state.

This is even more perplexing given the history of President Tinubu himself. When democracy was under threat, he led the charge for change. He protested, he spoke out, and he ultimately sought refuge in exile to evade the military’s iron grip. Is it not the height of irony that he now punishes others for echoing the very ideals he once championed?

The double standards are glaring. Just days ago, Alex Ikwechegh, a House of Representatives member, was seen on video assaulting a citizen in broad daylight. His bail? A mere 500,000 naira. Yet for the young protesters, the courts are imposing 10 million naira bail – a sum so prohibitive it almost ensures they will remain imprisoned. This dichotomy only amplifies the image of a government swift to silence dissent among the defenseless while ignoring the misconduct of its own.

Moreover, the case of Yahya Bello, a governor who has flagrantly sidestepped the law, brings into question the administration’s commitment to accountability. Bello, declared wanted by the EFCC, casually walked into their office only to leave unimpeded. And the excuses from the government? Outlandish claims that the “immunity” applies not just to the governor but extends to the entire “government house,” suggesting he can find sanctuary there. This distortion of immunity protections shows a disconcerting willingness to bend laws for the few while punishing the many.

And then we have the treatment of Bobrisky, forcibly removed from a flight in a manner that would be unprecedented for any other citizen in a functioning democracy. The entire affair reeks of selective justice.

In viewing these cases together, a disturbing pattern emerges: the use of the state’s power to silence dissent and enforce a strict hierarchy, where those with connections or influence evade accountability, while ordinary citizens, particularly young Nigerians, are expected to endure an increasingly repressive environment.

Mr. President, the nation is watching. Nigerians will not accept oppression, no matter the position or title of the oppressor. The fight against tyranny is woven into the fabric of our nation, and the same spirit that propelled you and others to oppose military dictatorship during NADECO will resurface if these actions persist. The detention of these young protesters under such flimsy pretenses is nothing short of a travesty. It only takes one major platform – BBC, CNN, or VOA – to expose these injustices on an international scale, shining a light on a system that has, in its pursuit of order, sacrificed justice and fairness.

There is still time to restore faith. The demand is simple: Release these young people within the next 48 hours, with a suitable framework of supervision if necessary. Show Nigerians that dissent is not an invitation for persecution, and that, in the new Nigeria, the government is willing to listen rather than suppress. Failing to do so will only galvanize a new wave of resistance, one that might well define your legacy in the very way Abacha’s was marked – as a symbol of intolerance and repression. The choice is yours to make, and it is one that will echo through generations.
