They’re standing up for themselves. Good for them.

If they didn’t invite you and then forcibly carry you to the event, I don’t see how they are forcing themselves on you. Just go to your own straight party and have a blast.
That is how it always starts. Small by small. From "We are harming no one" to "bake my wedding cake, and put Adam loves Steve" or we sue you out of business for discrimination.

Unfortunately, human beings are generally forgetful and shallow.

You are focusing on the ant 🐜 while the elephant 🐘 in the room is looking at you.

One of the primary function of government is to secure lives and properties. This incident is just one out of the many killings going on.

What can a private citizen without powers do when the government with constitutional powers, money, and other resources has become useless and irresponsible?


To whom much is given, much is expected.
It is not about one big action. government is to secure lives and properties This is the simple and pedestrain commentary that does not accomodate the nuances of solutions. The solutions to securing lives and property are a combo meal of different proportions, and citizens definitely have a role to play in the process.

For starters - off the top of my head, the reporting is of limited value and can be expanded. The journalist (who is not govt) covering this piece must comply with adequate crime reporting standards, in the absence of which should be professional censure and enforcement of errant reporting. In order to achieve this, we would need to establish the current rules of reporting and so on to know if additional stipulations should be added. This process would need enagagement and with time the ball would be moved forward in the direction the ensures that wherever crime is reporting useful info is covered. This way, we know the names and location and histories of the culprits.

If there is no databse for culprits, and the NATIONAL DATABASE IS found wanting, the private individuals in Ogun State through collaboration with comp science/data science/statistics students can be engaged to participate in building one. GOVT is still not involved. The database may include culprits' personal details, arresting officers, stage of judicial proceedings, judges attending to cases, prison status, years spent in prison after arrest etc, Still, no GOVT involved.

A lot of small steps can be taken to achieve our aims of a livable society. Automatically delegating every problem to GOVT leads to mental atrophy in solving solvable problems. GOVT is a mechanism with limited capacity to serve our aims. Other alternative, collaborative, parallel mechanism can also be developed to solve our problems.

Na wa ooo.


Nigeria.


Once again government has failed in its responsibility to secure lives of the citizens.

How many more Nigerians have to die before they agree that the country isnt working?
Is it always govt? The sick and fetish mentality displayed is also govt? And the "they", who are you referring to? Some all powerful group to make things right? And has that ever happened? If not, why then, are you still saying GOVT? The so called GOVT is made of Nigerians. It is also possible the evil criminals featured in the story have family in govt or people that have the same mentalities as them in govt. So do you still think it up to Govt

What YOU can do to reduce the misery around you, try to do. Do you volunteer in any educational or health facility? Do you volunteer to train the younger ones on areas that you experienced at? Have you thought of forming an organization that collects data on issues that don't have enough information, thereby enabling more efficient decision making?

Society is reliably built on institutions. Find ways to increase the capacity of institutions around you, thereby enabling them serve you better. For example, in this case, why wasnt the name of ifa revealed. That is a limitation in the reporting process. Journalists and other interesting people could find a way to ensure that names of animals like ifa should always be revealed, and a dedicated follow-up team (possibly an online group) can keep track on developments on the case. There are many other scenarios that can benefit from sustained citizen action.

Only WE can build a society to meets our needs. So try.

I am a Muslim. I think it pertinent for Muslim lawyers and judges to find mechanisms for dispute resolution at the highest levels. The Emir/Amir is essentially a religious position.

PoliticsRe: (OPINION):Dangote Is The Main Reason Why Nigeria Will NEVER Grow. by MerchantMNT: 7:05am On Jun 10, 2024
Inasmuch as there may be valid criticisms about Dangote's business tactics, do you think it is wise to leave productive and commercial endeavours to GOVERNMENT?

Nigeria's Govt has been in operation since 1960, can you provide a list of business entities successfully managed by the Govt of the day.

Also, given the transient nature of Govt and the attendant changes in its main personalities and their interests, I think it is always better for private concerns to direct economic activities.

Moreover corporate culture, reporting standards, public filing on NSE etc provide a measure of oversight - not perfect, but better than an opaque bureaucratic and inefficient Govt operation

See how he just killed a beautiful woman with his big ugly nose and mouth. I wonder why she settled for such an ugly man with an ugly heart


That is why as a beautiful woman it's not advisable to marry this kind of ugly man because insecurities can make them do and undo. They always feel threatened whenever they see you with other men.
If you are committed to one man, why should you be with other men?

A lot of us use to think this way when we were your age. Truth is, as u grow older, your orientation begins to change. When u start approaching 40s, seeing your friends kids all getting grown up, I'm sure u might have a rethink.
Your friend's kids all grown up is a reason to plunge into marriage? Marriage is mostly good when there is ample capacity.

But I believe there is no form of Dhikr that's greater than Lailaha Ilalah.


Why did you skipped this in your list.

Even as mentioned in the holy Quran.

Jasaka Lau Arian for this additions too especially the Ya-salijalali walihkram
