How I wish PMB can shock us and give it to someone from the East? But Nah! It's gonna be another northerner.

ChiefSosa:
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE TENSION?

You are a fool! Was the funds not budgeted for before it's release? CORRUPT NIGERIAN.

ojobek:
Nothing is released,that section of the road has been flag off more than 8 times.Akpabio was in our yard 5 months ago only to come and collect envelop,this one now.if you know,you know.

Bros, Imo sustains Lagos. If Imo is allowed to control her oil and HUGE gas resource, Lagos would be subservient to Imo. Check facts before you post.
Anyhow, Nigeria need to divide into South and North, thereafter, those who want Oodua and those who want Biafra can make their respective demands. Restructuring is another SCAM.

integrity16:
How many times would they be budgeting billions to complete east west road??

I cannot count the number of times the PDP administration budgeted several billions to complete that road, it is still not completed.

Now APC is doing their own budgeting for the same road. Nigeria is just so blessed with corrupt leaders and citizens.

Karim Benzema will be called up for France’s EUROs squad, per multiple reports in France.

The Real Madrid striker hasn’t played for France since he was accused of helping blackmail former teammate Mathieu Valbuena with a sex tape in 2015.

He has denied the allegations.

Source:
https://twitter.com/brfootball/status/1394605873595666433?s=19[/quote]What allegation is he denying? This is when we throw decency to the wind if you ask me, Benzema should have been banned for life from French National team...

For context:
1. Matthieu Valbuena (a co-team member of the French National team and friend to Benzema) bought a new phone. Gave a guy that supplies them new phones to transfer all his data from his old phone and set it up on new phone.
2. During the transfer, Benzema's childhood friend got access to Valbueba's personal files including one allegedly a sex video.
3. They started to blackmail Valbuena
4. Benzema (ridiculously) brought the matter to Valbuena, and encouraged him to talk to the blackmailers. In fact his final comment to Valbuena was "should I give you his number?"
5. More ridiculous, Benzema upon interrogation said he didn't deem it that he was harming Valbuena, and that he only brought the matter to his attention
6. Most ridiculous, the French FA did initially deem the matter non-football related, until it was going to destroy the team before excusing both.

Same French has called up Benzeme. Where is the decency!!!

As much as I don't support him but she has no right holding him that way, that's first an assault on him...

It's obvious so many Nigerians are used to being oppressed. I don't see this happening in saner climes, I have one too many folks who have gone out to study and they tell me how respectful their lecturers are towards them, them is only being the typical Nigerian lecturer...She is guilty of assault unless something else played out that was captured.

AD is now dead

SmartPolician:
You are obviously confused because you are saying two different things at the same time.

If you negotiate, you will save all the lives. The implication is that you will finance the terrorists' activities. They will get more weapons and become deadlier. In fact, you will send a message that your government encourages terrorism and banditry, thus making more people to jump on the bandwagon.

On the other hand, if you attack, there will be collateral damage. In short, you can even lose all the students. The situation is dicey, but el-Rufai raised an important point. If I were in his shoes, I would damn the consequences and attack Even if my kid was involved because paying those idiots means encouraging more people to go into banditry for the money.

Crime must have a dire price and that's why countries tell you that they don't negotiate with terrorists. It takes a brave mind to be a good leader. I can never negotiate with rascals...never! Doing so has a long-term implication that will hurt the society for a long time. Most times, we do the things of today to avert the negative impact it would have tomorrow.

But then, since they paid the ransom to free the students, they should have tracked the bandits and finished them up. After all, el-Rufai claims the military already has details of their location.

If they were proactive the security situation would have been addressed before it got to this....

So US is not proactive when almost every week, someone enters a large gathering of people and murder them with guns. You can't eliminate bad people and that's why he is giving you the bigger picture: unless you kill these guys, they will never stop. Even US does not negotiate with terrorists and that's why they give travel advisory to their citizens. In Katsina, they were negotiating with the terrorists and in no time, they took over Katsina! He is taking a cue from Katsina and chose to fight. If you have other suggestions to help the situation, share it instead of running their efforts down. Remember that some of our patriotic security personnel die in these operations too and they have families too. Your advice can help too.

I totally agree with the part that no negotiations with terrorist,

I don’t agree with the part of killing innocent students or victims coz of the negligence of both state , federal and locals that aid and abets criminals

Omo, Leadership is not easy especially when you are dealing with terrorists. Some leaders will prefer to negotiate because they don't want to lose innocent lives but if you decide to attack, be ready to pay a price. So it's kind of contradictory for you to agree with the no negotiations part and not agree with the part of losing some of the abductees.

I'm not sure if the problem is negotiating, the problem is that we don't have a solid security structure in place to prevent or repel the kidnappers in the future.

The only thing we can all agree on is that the government at all levels have failed us in terms of providing adequate security.

ValCon888:
This government is yet to tell us the truth about the dramatic escalation of terrorist activities in the country.

Weapons were given to a certain people and pomises were made before election. Unfortunately, the promise couldn't be fulfilled after election (RUGA) and these people with weapons decide to use those weapons to make money for themselves by kidnapping innocent Nigerians.

Government finally realizes they can also make money from paying ransom and that's how kidnapping became the order of the day in Nigeria.

abbey621:
It's clear that you're just plain ignorant and was probably dropped on the head as a child. First you attacked me by saying it is unintelligent to expect the Federal government to declare state of emergency due to kidnappings, you now maintain the viewpoint that the entire premise is against the opening topic? Yet I'm the one with the subpar argument? You could have done yourself a favor by not quoting me but your constant need for validation meant you couldn't resist, I'm not going to sit here and argue against your strawman theories because you obviously know nothing about the Constitution. Yes kidnappings are prosecuted by the states but does that negate the power of the Federal government to intervene? What does the law say about matters of national security/terrorism? If the danger of one state leads to the danger of others, does the Federal government just sit back and drink kunu until the entire region is affected? I know topics like this one is far beyond your thinking capabilities but I don't think I can make it much simpler for you, even my 10 year old nephew can deduce what I'm getting at, so please refrain from quoting me again unless you want to be unfortunate in life but if you refuse then continue arguing with your keyboard because I won't dignify you with another response.....PEACE!

AllenSpencer: From the picture,
1. Framework is bad
2. The cooling fins is absolute gibberish, more of a design than its actual functionality.
3. The grip seems to be made of plastic, or a slippery material. The actual essence of that part was not functional in design.
4. Trigger loop is too wide for an automatic rifle by few millimeters
5. Wide gap between barrel jacket and hand guard,. Its accuracy would definitely have wide errors, except used by exceptional professional
6. The butt is outdated and not handy.


............. Their is still more room for improvements

We know you have knowledge of Ak 47 more than Kalashnikov, but go tell them in Dicon and stop disturbing us with nonsense here.

abbey621:
When you argue make sure you know with whom and what you are arguing about, your jabs about o level and other insults portrays you as a delusional loudmouth. The Constitution is very clear on the powers of the Federal government to declare a state of emergency, the Constitution is also very clear about the protection of lives and the rights of every Nigerian to live peacefully without fear or intimidation. Your ignorant deluded mindset wants to school me about the Nigerian Constitution? Did you just said, a case of kidnapping? You meant cases upon cases, you meant killings upon killings. are we talking about those alreasdy caught or the constant kidnappings still occurring? In a sane society, marshall law would have been declared but low IQ minds such as yours will defend the indefensible. You mentioned, by current laws Kidnapping & Banditry are prosecuted by states, did I argue against this? My argument was strictly focused on the federal government not carrying out its duty of oversight and watching as things continue to deteriorate.

I would have taken you more seriously if you argued based on merit rather than try to portray intellectual superiority through insults but alas a dog must smell yansh no matter the training. Improve your netiquette and check yourself before you wreck yourself!

mapet:
Nairaland seems to be regressing in average intelligence unfortunately

A simple Google search would have shown these unintelligent arguers that many states had passed their own law on Kidnapping. For example in 2009, Abia and Enugu State House of Assembly passed a law making Kidnapping with use of a gun a capital offence, while Rivers state makes kidnapping of any sort Life imprisonment. In order words Evans for example should thank his stars that he's not being prosecuted in Abia or Enugu where upon being declared guilty, he would be hanged.

I think this man's law degree certificate supposed to be withdrawn from him because this utterance alone shows that he lacks the basic knowledge of law. No wonder Nigeria is the way it is... half-baked people in the realm of affairs.

lequama10:
broda had to read again because all what he said there was with sense, so many people have comprehension problem I swear, it's not a federal offence makes it better sef, any State government can determine how best to handle it's problem, which will only be supported by the federal govt... Abi I no read well ni...

linearity:
The Nigerian National Assembly passed the Terrorism Prevention Act of 2011, which was signed into law on June 3, 2011, by President Goodluck Jonathan.

And during Jonathan Administration, a few people were charged federally using the Act.

Nigeria also rectifies the UN convention on terrorism, which proscribe hostage aka kidnapping among other terrorist Acts.

abbey621:
Go and read your Constitution very well before believing one delusional goat. Every Nigerian has the right to a peaceful environment, the right to liberty, this much is guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution. What is the result of kidnapping? What is the result of banditry? Are humans harmed or killed? Does it threaten people's liberty? If the answer is yes then the Nigerian Constitution gives the Federal government the power to overule the states or declare a state of emergency. This is the 21st century, let nobody bobo you
