Please everything should not begin and end with politics.When are we going to get it right in this country, a serving military officer doing gateman for a retired senior officer at a time Nigeria need the services of our military men.

Without Nigeria there can't be Nigeria army, Nigeria air force etc

BondRiv:
You are concerned about the wrong things. One of the problems of Nigeria. Go to the root of the issue. The foundation is faulty. You ignore the crux of the matter and start analysing bubbles.

gmaribel:
This is what the minister may not know.

Mrexcell:
Wike just behaved like an illiterate tout a minister of his office should have known that there are more responsible channels he should have used to deal with situation instead of shouting and abusing the officer like a violent tout.

His younger brother is 66? Could that younger brother be the bespectacled Chucks Nwoko who criticized him in the recent viral video of this week or another? I'll definitely dig up further info about Ned's age.

As for the virginity thing, there are tests that can be done at a medical facility to ascertain if the hymen is broken or not. The drawback to that is that for women who are active sports persons, the hymen can become slack due to vigorous exercise. Further, there are now creams that some women apply to their private parts to tighten up the VJ area if it is slack due to repeated birthing of children. NOW, some unmarried women are using it to tighten themselves up. There's a lot of social disruptions going on with newer health or medical inventions which have positive or negatives

Konquest:
Ned Nwoko is in reality 65 years of age as of 2025 NOT 70.

He celebrated his 59th birthday in 2019. I saw a post where this girl he's currently having a public spat with wished him a Happy 59th birthday on her Instagram just under 1 hour ago.

Ned himself granted a media interview in 2020 with Punch where he said he prefers marrying women who are young and are virgins. I initially thought he developed that preference because he is a Muslim... Ned Munir Nwoko being his name.

However the 24-year-old girl has confessed that she indeed was using drugs before having sex allegedly with the knowledge of Ned and went on an online rant claiming that Ned's other wives use drugs as well.

You don't even understand what is written there before you plunge yourself into perpetual wailing.

The message is for those emigrating to the US , not those going there to seek medical assistance.

ALTERNATEID:
All the soldiers involved in this show of shame shouid be identified and disciplined. Their conduct is a complete embarrassment to the military. Whoever gave them the order to go and be protecting an illegally occupied land shouid also be sanctioned.

zeuss:
You have it all wrong, nobody I mean nobody is above the law if the police men who were there knew their onions they should have rounded up and arrested all those erring officers for obstructing government officials on lawful duty.
Those soldiers have no right to be outside the barracks for any reason with their arms besides addressing threats to national security

yarimo:
That outburst by WIKE is very commendable, arm force are not above the law.

Orinechi:
What were those soldiers doing there? Is getting involved in land dispute between federal government and land grabbers part of their work now while bandit and Boko Haram are running amok in some areas in the North?I think is those soldiers who are supposed to be punished. If we say we want a new Nigeria, we must do away with sentiments and hatred.

yarimo:
This is very commendable from the FCT minister

zeuss:
The military officer should have respected the representative of government even out the barracks after all government is the employer of the military and is maintained with taxpayer money moreso nobody is above the law.

The king brother never went to prison because her mother settled out of court and paid the victims millions of pounds

For a marriage done in Nigeria?. Keep playing

Foreign nationals seeking to immigrate to the United States could now be denied visas and green cards based on pre-existing chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, under new guidance issued by the Trump administration.
The directive, which significantly expands the criteria for who is deemed a potential "public charge," has been sent by the State Department on to US embassies and consular offices worldwide.

A cable sent by the State Department to visa officers instructs them to flag applicants whose medical conditions could require "hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of care." The list of conditions cited includes, but is not limited to cardiovascular diseases; respiratory diseases; cancers; diabetes; metabolic diseases; neurological diseases; and mental health conditions.

The guidance also specifically advises officers to consider conditions like obesity, noting that it can lead to costly complications such as asthma, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure. All these chronic illnesses are now being assessed as potential indicators that an individual might become a future financial burden on the United States.The policy shift, revealed on Thursday, is one of the most aggressive moves in the administration’s broader immigration crackdown, effectively linking an applicant’s health status to their eligibility for entry.

It was not immediately clear if the directive applies to tourist and student visas. While it technically applies to all visa applicants, including those seeking non-immigrant visas for tourism (B-1/B-2) and studies (F1), it is expected to be primarily used for those seeking to permanently reside in the US.

As things stand, tourist visa applicants are required to demonstrate they have sufficient financial means for their trip; they intend to leave the US at the end of their authorized stay; and they will not become a "public charge" during their temporary visit.

At the heart of the new guidance is a stricter interpretation of the "public charge" rule—a century-old immigration provision designed to exclude those likely to become primarily dependent on government assistance. While health screenings have always been part of the visa process, traditionally focusing on communicable diseases like tuberculosis, the new directive vastly expands the list of conditions to be considered.

Immigration advocates warn that the new rules grant consular officers, who lack medical expertise, sweeping authority to make subjective judgments about an applicant's long-term health since no one is expected to disclose their ailments in visa applications.

Under the new framework, visa officers are explicitly instructed to determine whether applicants have the financial resources to cover the costs of such long-term medical care "over his entire expected lifespan without seeking public cash assistance or long-term institutionalization at government expense."

Immigration experts contend that this policy will dramatically reduce legal immigration for older applicants and those with common chronic illnesses. Effectively, the policy will favor the wealthiest and healthiest applicants.
