BigBreezeBabs: If you take your time to read to understand and not anxious to comment with hate in mind, you will see that he mentioned more than just insecurity. Look at your reply carefully and highlight where you tied your response to other parts of the comment or where you removed "insecurity" from your point of reply. It is you who rushed to type without citing your response being tied to "low purchasing power." |

I am not sure how how APC members still have fond memory of Buhari judging by how they now blame him for the failing economy Tinubu met. That said, I respect Tinubu personally. |

franchasng: Don't blame the landlords (house owners) in Nigeria, blame the tax master President that foisted himself on Nigerians because of Buhari's inefficiency 
To build a single storey building in Nigeria today requires a minimum of 110million Naira, this does not include cost of buying land.
Now tell me how you want a house owner to recover his investment if after using such exorbitant amount to erect an upstairs and he collects say 800,000 naira per year as rent? It may take him 50 years or more to recover the money he used to build the house?
Nigerians should direct their anger towards the zero performing owomida government of Tinubu.
Landlord also have his own living cost to bear, and the only way he can recoup is through his house for rent  Wrong. Tinubu’s tax drive has its attendant harsh effect, and honestly every chance I get to criticize it I use same. Not because paying tax is wrong but because he is putting the cart before the horse. Make corruption punishable by death and see corruption grounded to 2%. That way Nigerians are happier paying tax. That said, Nigerians are inherently selfish, forget tax matter. Farmers did same when borders were closed. We take undue advantage of opportunities and people where we can. |

The courts don’t work on assumptions or suspect but on clear proof. 100% staff could have been retrenched for whatever reason.

brain54: Ofcourse, I acknowledged that much bolded...
Workers have certain rights just as well as employers do.
It's also like a tenant and landlord contract. Both has rights. Sometimes the tenant or worker is even more protected under such laws/conditions and are not "subservient "
The truth is most people are either ignorant, unwilling to go through the legal process, or don't just have trust in the judiciary to pursue such rights. That's why employers take advantage of them.
But those rights are there and inalienable and fundamental.
If a staff of uni illorin chooses to be a member of a legal association like ASSU then there is absolutely nothing unilorin can do about it bro. It's their right and the school can't take it away from them! Okay, I’ll engage you as you come across, a colleague. Now, it is true that Chapter IV contemplates for the freedom of association and the Constitution being grund norm takes precedent over any labor contract, however, the “Dangote situation” is not one negating persons right to Associate but cleverly as his lawyers have termed it, a restructuring of the company. The question is, does Dangote have a right to restructure, downsize? “Yes,” so long as the terms of Employment Contract are fulfilled to the letter. This is not an employment that enjoys statutory flavor as it is a private company, the owners therefore can disengage for good, bad or no reason at all. Since there isn’t evidence that sack was because of joining a union, and the courts cannot begin to speculate, Dangote is home and dry. I look forward to your counter-submission sir. |

Na Tinubu go come secure his state for him? Can't he also collaborate with the security agencies and fashion out plan on how to stop these banditry and kidnappings in his state? But Tinubu held Jonathan responsible for the Chibok girls issue. What goes around comes around. For the umpteenth time, I am a Tinubu supporter but can’t shy from the truth. Tinubu owes Jonathan an apology for the subsidy issue and now insecurity if he now thinks states should handle insecurity. |

The Governor of Kebbi State has suspended his health commissioner for negligence of his duty, a further reaction by his administration to the viral video by the arrested Journalist.
The very premise of my opinions is that the same message can still be passed in a more professional way as a journalist that won't warrant being arrested for doing ones job as journalist.
Once again thank you for your enlightenment. God bless you my brother, safe! |
Politics › Re: Hassan Mai-Waya Kangiwa Arrested In Kebbi For Exposing Hospital's Condition by mcquin(m): 6:56pm On Sep 12, 2025 |
Softmirror: So you are a lawyer. That is interesting.
The Nigerian Constitution (Section 37) protecting privacy, the National Health Act (Section 26), and the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA). These laws emphasize the fundamental right to privacy and the protection of personal data, which includes a person's image. Therefore, taking photos of patients in a hospital without consent is an infringement on their privacy and data rights, with potential legal consequences. My brother, you are obviously not a lawyer and this is without prejudice to your occupation. We can’t be professionals in all fields and that is fine. Now, in understanding, interpreting a legislation, the reader, interpreter must first seek to understand the intention of drafters of such framework. Knowing the spirit behind it better helps against misconstruing provisions. Yet again, a document or legislative framework is read in a whole. You do not isolate a provision, read it and think you can interprete the whole. You called in aid Section 26 of the National Data Protection Act, 2023 which speaks to consent of a subject with relation to his data but failed to cognizance of limitations to the Act itself provided for in Section 3 of the Act, and for this case particular emphasis is at Section 3(2)(d) of the Act, since it touches on journalism. For proper context, Sec 3(2)(d) of the Act is here under reproduced; 3(2) “Subject to the rights and freedoms under the Constitution and the limitations, the obligations under part V, other than sections 24, 25, 32 and 40 of this Act, shall NOT apply to a data controller or data processor if the processing of the personal data is- (d) in respect of publication in the PUBLIC INTEREST, FOR JOURNALISM, educational and literary purposes…” Please do not just go check privacy laws on AI and start arguing. Get your facts right. If we go by your analogy, that means every body that walks past while a reporter is in a location reporting, will have a case against such station especially in market places where reporters walk into, capture reports and faces of people without their knowledge or consent. |
Politics › Re: Hassan Mai-Waya Kangiwa Arrested In Kebbi For Exposing Hospital's Condition by mcquin(m): 1:00pm On Sep 12, 2025 |
Softmirror: That is where you got it all wrong. Hospitals and patients are protected by law that demands privacy and confidentiality and this protected rights are not bridged except authorized and not without consent.
The National Health Act mandates patient confidentiality, and taking photos without permission violates a patient's privacy rights and can lead to disciplinary action and legal consequences.
That was why I said there are progressive stages to making this kind of a report.
He must have acted as an antagonist than a journalist. National Health Act? Kindly cite relevant sections for proper context. Patient’s confidentiality to what extent? His records in the hospital, which? Again, please cite relevant section for proper context. Very humbly, I am a lawyer and can engage you at this level if relevant authorities are called in aid. |

Are you aware the Mass media is the 4th arm of the realm and has a responsibility of checking government of the day? If they run stories through government that they ought check, how will they check effectively? Around the world journalist investigate governments even getting “classified” information, but because you want to massage Kebbi state government, you’ve turned a blind eye. I reiterate, check my record here, I support Tinubu here on many occasions but I won’t close my eyes to injustice. |

Did he detail out his efforts in any private conversation with the authority before making this public?! So a journalist need run every story through government before he reports? Is the journalist’s service to politicians or to the Nigerian populace that need be informed? Has government come out to say the facts as shown are false and not true? If we a to be partisan, let’s do it with common sense. I support Tinubu where I have to (not necessarily APC), but I don’t support foolishly like I am without a sense of reasoning.

budaatum: Yes I can. The Igbos rose up and fought a war of secession, and Nigeria fought back to retain its territorial integrity, and people were killed in the process.
If my Yoruba land is stupîd enough to rise up and fight for the Oduduwa Republic some are clamouring for, more than 3 million of us will be killed for our stupidîty by Nigeria.
Who? What determines when that day of intelligence would arrive?
Personally, I do not support the disintegration of Nigeria, but if a class of people insist on being alone, for the sake of humanity and sensible reasoning, you leave them to it. How is territorial integrity more important that the millions of lives wasted in that war, and the millions still being wasted cause we want to maintain “territorial integrity.”
Some northerners want sharia, some easterners, Biafra and some westerners, Oduduwa. Will it be too much to allow a referendum and if a greater number prefer Nigeria, we do Nigeria, if a loosed federation or confederation is contemplated, we go that direction, if not, “to your tent o Israel.”
That act alone will silence to a large extent dissenting voices within the federation, foster patriotism as people are not forced to believe in their country, the believe should be organic, natural.
When and if patriotism is in place, trust me, leadership and followership crisis would have been addressed as these patriotic Nigerians will put in place systems that will work for the Nigeria they love and pledge allegiance.
My hope is someday, we would be intelligent enough to separate peacefully, if we must, though I hope we don't, but that day of intelligence has not arrived yet, and separation now would just create other problems for us. |
