Which begs the question...who are the commanders directing these warfare? By now, the military ought to have armed drones in every state...at least one or two..you call them during a fire fight like this and signal location ...one you can launch the weapon to neutralize or assist the soldiers...if it is too dense...at least use the drones and heat sensors to track them into their hideouts and call for military bombs.

You begin to wonder if we are following the US model...keep fighting endless conflicts so Govt can continue to spend endlessly on the military.

Just saying

MasterJayJay:
One terrorist shot dead. An improvement from previous reports where they keep escaping with bullet wounds.

While I was reading and saw 'overwhelming firepower' and 'superior firepower', I was hoping to see the conclusion that 5 or more terrorists were killed but I was disappointed. They only killed one terrorist while the terrorists killed 2 soldiers.

I rate the military operation 2/10.

Luckily for him, he will be locked up till Trump finishes his 4yr term Lol...if they don't deport those currently serving long term sentences.

It was Joy and happiness everywhere as Christmas came early for the people of okoko item in Abia State, all thanks to the Jerry Eze foundation Christmas Outreach. The yuletide is off for a good start for thousands of indigenes in this community.
Here at the Jerry Eze Foundation, this is what we live for.

Look up our reserve, we can afford this. Fiber Optics are usually deep and will need special equipment to evacuate and vandalize. I will be shocked if they don't put things in place to prevent this given some Nigerians are highly skilled at vandalism (Niger Bridge 2 is a good example). I think the US usually lines some of these between highways with lots of traffic.

SimFubaraNews:
Governor Siminalayi Fubara has inaugurated the 3km Kalaibiama section of the Kalaibiama-Epellema Road.

The commissioning was performed by Senator Adawari Pepple, former senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District.

Speaking at the event, Fubara called for unity and urged Rivers people to prioritize the state’s progress. "Rivers belongs to all of us. Stop the media wars and focus on building. Demarketing the state affects everyone, not just me," he said.

Addressing concerns raised by the Joint Tax Board about security, he emphasized the need for collective responsibility. "God will handle those who seek to harm our progress," he concluded. #SimIsWorking #RiversFirst

Kudos to Buhari for pushing these companies to start paying taxes. I am not sure if they have started paying content creators. They are making a ton of money from Nigerians, they need to pay us as well.

While I love these by the States, provision should be made for fuels. I also think States should do this often so police officers can have the vehicles to attend to crimes. Imagine you calling 911 and 5 vehicles show up ...we need police vehicles permanently stationed in some areas and some that can move around to prevent crimes. That is the New Nigeria we want to see.

I see Minimum Wage going up to N100k very soon. Once investment starts coming into the North and Agriculture is jump started, food go plenty, money go plenty and with credit lines, houses and cars will be affordable by common men and women. Another 6 years of Tinubu will bring so much reform, everyone will become APC members.

I look forward to the day when Nigerians can travel for vacation and come back home without plans to stay out. We are getting there and we will get there. Our loans are gradually being paid. All these coastal highways will open up our communities, and I see a dawn of a New Nigeria.

God bless PBAT
God bless Nigeria
God bless ALL of US.

While I do agree that we need to know more details about the planned airport, I do not see these airports as unproductive. Wait till you have an emergency or need to move things around, then you will appreciate why the WEST has so many airports. Some states in the US have 2-3 airports due to strategic geographical space. Abia Airport will cater to clients that can afford to fly into the airport without the risk of being kidnapped. There are some benefits to this. Our media just needs to do a good job in asking the why why why. We are quick to dismiss and look at the negatives.

Do you know that students in neighboring schools damage school properties to sell them as scraps at Agodi Spareparts? They will remove the iron parts of tables and burglary frames. Some of these folks buy it from them, supporting criminality.

I know this because IDAGBA Empowerment Foundation completed a project at Ikolaba Grammar School, a school quite close to this spare part, and I heard a lot of tales. By the way, I went to the school from JSS 1 - 3.

While visiting the spare parts, I saw so many electricity thefts. There are no prepaid meters, and these guys are using mighty machines. I was forced to ask someone if they paid for electricity. He responds that they collate money and give it to some people. As an Engineer, my heart dropped because only God knows how much they use daily from the main source without paying for it and how it affects others. They make millions in hours with no taxes or land charges. They only pay their fellow agberos.

Someone already mentioned the state of the area during rainy season. It is high time we have regularized spare parts where they can hold people accountable for criminality and provide sanity.

I would agree with you if and only if Innoson is a newcomer to the scene. I considered the Naija factor when I said financing could look like --- pay 80% before you can retrieve the car. You can also add a viable job, which is why I also said they can work with the Unions for direct deduction for workers at a particular grade level.

What will happen is an influx of cash monthly that would enable Innoson to expand, create a credit line for itself at the banks, and access favorable terms for expansion and survival. They would also need to train mechanics if required or have service centers. It is difficult to go from a local to a heavyweight champion.

My point here is...do not blame the Government alone for Innoson's failure to expand. The dependency on the Govt as the sole purchaser is not a good strategy. What the Govt would allow, though, is failure to meet deadlines, kickbacks for inferior products, and overpricing. If Innoson truly wants to fight in the big league, it must be ready to meet the demands of Nigerian customers and the expectations that come with that. If the product sucks, you will hear from Nigerians, not the Gov discussing behind closed doors and promising to fix the issues. Innoson is not ready yet in my own humble opinion. Deal with financing and let the cars flood the market...it would sell itself.

YouandiAllofus:
First, think of the innoson brand as if you were the owner.

With all the elements militating against factors of production such as epileptic electric power, insecurity, political uncertainty, inadequate or inefficient policy formulation, implementation and it's ineffectiveness etc, do you think it is possible to struggle to stay afloat and barely strive in a hostile business environment where manufacturing companies are shutting down or operating at an extremely odd pedestal that forcefully drive up the cost of finished products, yet, still doll out your hard earned finished product in the terms you highlighted above?

I think that would be a perfect recipe for closure.

The business environment has to be friendly first, in a way that enhances productivity and promotes competition so that more of innoson would spring up across the nation and trive, before the thought of 'own through loan' can suffice and hold water.

Lol people think US is joking. I am sure the CIA worked on this case since it was international plus FBI. Extradited from Ghana, Poland...you can run but you can never hide. Get a legit job and do, you wont. Pray you are lucky you will make it alive because criminals in jail hate fraudsters who prey on elderly and vulnerable people --- so I have been told. Hushpuppi has gentle inside prison lol. TRUMP is coming ...

This really surprised me cos sales matter more than manufacturing. If you cannot sell, you cannot manufacture. If you can sell, you can improve manufacturing. Look at the Chinese Brands, they even do showcase and annual car shows highlighting improvement in their sedans and SUVs. I have seen some cars in Ibadan with logos I did not know only to realize they were actually Chinese brands.

Sometimes I wonder If Innoson is just meant to be an achievement and not really for profit, because I was truly surprised they had no plans in place. I was going to pay monthly and pay in full before even collecting the car, but they had no system in place. I plan to try NORD very soon and see if they have a better system in place.

RecentHistory:
Innoson understands manufacturing but not sales. Unfortunately, the people surrounding him don't know better.
It's a good thing we have other better brands springing up everywhere. Let Innoson keep cutting himself short.

Won't burning to clear the land to destroy needed nutrients and microbes? Just thinking out loud before you do the same thing, expecting different results.

aliadi2:
In the meantime time I started clearing the remaining part of the land in preparation for rain so that I can make the ridges.

Can Innoson meet the capacity of all the orders he has or has pending? I called Innoson about financing, and I was directed to banks like Access Bank. They should have a bank rep working for them that can process payments. Why can't Innoson market to Nigerians on monthly payments...make deposits, pay up for 80%, pick up vehicles or delivery, and balance up? That can appeal to Diaspora folks who visit home often. Even Nigerian celebrities can be given one or two to use ...they can work with Unions for direct debit for civil servants. They need to be more creative around payments and financing, and the business will blossom. Govt cannot increase Innoson's capacity. The money belongs in the private sector. Govt purchase is not sustainable.

Innoson also needs a car showcase in Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Abuja, Kano, and major metropolises. Look at Obi Cubana with his Keke. Some will scream that no one is patronizing SE Innoson, but the business must upgrade and meet the times. Lobbying and political alignment help, too. It happens like this even in the West.

YouandiAllofus:
I see Toyota. Why not innoson?
Well, this should be extended to every state so as to boost the operational capacity of mobile policing in the nation at large.

This is commendable but the church can do more. I am one of those who criticize churches for forgetting what Jesus stood for...taking care of widows, orphans and less amongst us. I am a product of a Catholic scholarship to a University. Catholic Charities are trying in some parts of the world. Our own churches na to expand and build plane hangers and runways lol

Check out the video of an RCCG parish in Abuja sharing foodstuffs for Abuja residents.

When the North see the light at the end of the tunnel, they will be the one asking Tinubu for a 3rd term instead of returning power back to the North Lol. The kind of money they stand to realize from livestock is enough to send all their children abroad to study if done well. They can feed the country, ship to other West African nations and even export to the West. We, Nigerians, love our Naija meat and hard chicken not the soft chicken the oyinbos are producing for us in the West.

Honestly we should not have a term limit with our Governors. Some of them have the capacity to do more than 2 terms. If Gov of Oyo State can do 3 or 4 terms, I would say, let him continue. I can only imagine what Oyo State would look like in the near future if he can govern for 10 more years. We are generating our own power now..Solar IPP and all. I cant even talk of my own state Ogun state...Let me just stick to my adopted state for now lol. Gov. Abiodun...please wake up, this is your 2nd term.

cn401:
Omo we should move a motion for only Gov Mbah to do 3 terms. After he's done with Enugu, Enugu wahould be developed up to Abuja's standard in terms of infrastructure. Like if you don't live in Enugu you won't understand the joy I'm feeling. If you come out of your house and go into town, you'll see construction going up. Different roads are being built. Street cams are being mounted at various traffic lights. The other day I saw a police car mounted with a cam. Make money so you go come Enugu partner with the govt

and this is a Governor we can all support to one day become the President of Nigeria....not the one with the Beer Factory to his name.

What the Gov has done quietly with water supply and infrastructure is commendable to say the least. No doubt, Enugu is positioning itself as an investor-friendly state. We keep watching and praying for good governance in other states, including my own Ogun State. God should bless us with one great Gov for 8yrs.

MrHumility:
Good evening, well-meaning Nigerians,

My name is Babatunde. I'm 28 and an O-Level holder. I had an accident last week in which my left leg got broken in three places. Please help me.

These are pictures of my leg this morning when we visited the man working on the leg.

Please help me. I need your support. My leg has collected the #60,000 left on me. I'm broke and still need funds for daily care of my broken leg.

Please help me. I am asking for your help because I have spent the #60,000 left on me on the leg. My parents have tried too. I need your help to continue my medication and daily care of my broken leg.

The man (bonesetter) working on my broken leg said it will take 6-8 months for the bones to join together very well. Which means I will spend 6-8 months lying in bed every day.

My people now carry me to do the private things I do on my own. Can't go to the bathroom on my own; my brother bathes me. I can't rush to the toilet whenever I'm caught short; I have to call my people on the phone to take me to the toilet. Please help me.

The man (bonesetter) working on my broken bones charged us the sum of #40,000; we've paid #30,000.

The nurse who stitched the wound on my leg and who will be giving me injections and drugs till my leg totally heals charged us #60,000; we've paid #40,000.

Every day, we hire a car to take me to the bonesetter's house; we pay #2000 for this per day.

Please help me. I'm broke, and my family has really tried for me. Please, I need your help to take good care of my leg every day.

Please, my bank details are:

Bank: Moniepoint Microfinance Bank
Account Number: 5 7 0 7 0 2 0 0 1 7
Account Name: Babatunde Sikiru Yisa

May God's protection continue to be on you and your family. May you and your family never be victims of motor accidents. Amen

The workers are Chinese because we got the loans from China, and they are to construct, make money for some time and turn it over. I stand corrected. The trains, however, were bought in the United States. USA is not responsible for the project or construction, because Chinese can do the same job for less.

Make I burst your brain bro …. I live around the area this pic was taken

What is wrong with paying taxes if you are making money using the roads built by the govt for your business? This is the best way given that Nigerians can switch receipts or pass them along to others that did not pay. Capture, documents, collect payment and eliminate the agberos....they should do the payments at the parks or banks and all keke riders need to collect ID cards with payment ID numbers and those cards can be scanned to verify payments on a daily basis. If schools can create accounts for each students, we can do this to keep us safe and increase IGR.

Transportation and Housing Taxes alone will take us out of the mess we find ourselves.
