These are just 3 countries with a youth detention system. There are plenty of other countries that detain children who commit petty crimes, are truants, or in severe cases housed until they age into the Adult system due to the level of crime.

Is Nigeria better than any of these countries?

I dont know what point you are trying to make when plenty of countries have similar facilities.

By showing all these links and making reference to other countries what you are saying really is Anambra is not the only one putting its children in prison,.... look, other people do it too.

You know in America their children go to school with guns and wipe out a whole class. That behaviour is often attached to degenerative syndrome out of control because of lapse in medication or its tolerance in the system.

Did you notice in the article that a foreign agent is involved in this prison affair? Ok,so your imprisoned children will be drugged to control their behaviour. Are you ready for the consequence?

Do you have any metrics or statistics that proved igbos are heading south west ?

Your statistics will be the yardstick of profit margin raked in daily by ekene dili chukwu and young shall grow as they criss cross with full seat westward but empty seats eastward along Onitsha-Benin,and Benin - Shagamu roads.

kunkelhanspeter:
What the Igbos just need is just one standard seaport
The FG and the Yoruba’s are so afraid to let that happen

You have seaboards in East. Calabar has port, Rivers has port, Akwa Ibom has port. Why do you call yourself entrepreneur but helpless to develop yourself? Why are you waiting on Yoruba approval to use your ports?

You are not honest with yourself. Piracy and militancy in the delta is a security issue for merchant ships. Insurers will cancel their risk contract if they sail into a volatile zone. This is what killed your ports, not Yoruba.


When you all were bragging with massob and mend and your control of the waterways and foreing installations, did it not occur to you your commerce and economy is in jeopardy?

I don't even get the motive behind this

Its intended for his brothers to take cue and stop fearing that they can't make it without Lagos, which is false anyway....but his effort is commendable.

I888:
apart from Lagos, which seems to be the only progressive state you guys can lay claims on which other sw states can u boast of?

West pioneered developments in Nigeria. We dont boast....we just prove the point.

Which other region in Nigeria can match West? West taught East religion and cathechism. West standardized and taught your alphabets to you.

These two alone is proof we opened your eyes to education and how to read and write your own language. Dispute with Bishop Ajayi Crowther if you disagree. He lives in google if you want to know.

El Rufai is bold. Question that he was supposed to jump over, he answered it. If not for Godfather would APC have won 2015 and 2019 election. If not for Buhari, would he have had any chance in the 2015 election. He's now forming voltron.

Anyway to answer the question. Can one be a Governor without a godfather. You can but it takes time, money, skills, love and people. You need to start from ground zero. You need to understand human and party administration.

Tinubu didn't begin his journey in 1999. He began long before then. So will anyone who doesn't want to go through the existing party structures. Tinubu earned where he is today so must they.

Because he is not politically polished. You can tell in the way he handles Southern Kaduna issues. They are trying to force the katafs to demand a new state and abandon Kaduna to Hausa north. Kaduna was created by colonials, there was nothing called Kaduna in 1890 when Royal Niger Company made contact with Zaria. Katafs are the indigenes of Kaduna, everyone else came to meet them there.

Elrufai has shown in his managing the affairsof the state with the indigenes that he is incompetent in human relations.

An expert in urban planning or someone who knows Osogbo much better than me may have to explain it to me, but that interchange looks a waste of money. The surrounding area consists of uncleared bush and sparse settlements and there doesn't seem enough vehicular traffic at that junction to warrant an interchange being built there. It seems like the classic white elephant project either designed to siphon money, or a bit of an ego trip by Aregbesola.

An interchange is a connector for vehicular traffic to change route from inter-state roads to metro roads. It is a add/drop link for a travelling driver to enter town or for one departing town to exit.

It would usually not have volume one finds on metro roads and it would be further on the outskirts and far away from developed estates.

Lagos/Ibadan expressway is stretching to connect with Oyo, Ogbomosho and Ilorin. Another connect goes to Oshogbo, Ede, Offa and so on. This interchange road is well thought out. Good investment for Osun!

duncun:
Okay, chestbeater go grab it!

We are not Ibos, we dont "grab". Thats an uncivilized way to approach politics.

We aspire and strategize for what we want...then we follow up by ginning up relations, reach across and strenghten alliance....and then act for a victorious outcome.

Yoruba people should wary of ibos

Ibo people, we no dey trust una again! - Remi Tinubu

It is foolish for Ohanaeze to ask for cabinet posts in Lagos. Go to SE if you want cabinet position. - Elder of Lagos, Alhaji Okunnu.

Any Ibo that go against my wish in Lagos will end in the Lagoon - Oba Akiolu.

Henceforth, all Eze titles are banned in Akure - Deji of Akure.

We have warned repeatedly, Ibos in Ibadan are dangerously creeping to the edge. We will push you over the cliff if you fail to respect the limits - Agbekoya Elder.

Imo1stson:
Tinubu's era will end abruptly in 2023 for fighting against Igbos who deserve exclusive rights to 2023 Presidency.

Ibo is too attached and invested in biafran secession to be entrusted with Nigeria. You will repeat Jan 66. Its clear!

duncun:
Tell me why the Yoruba's want the presidency so much if not to open more seaports and develop sw on the detriment of se/ss. How can you benefit from buharis gov and still want to cunningly take back power.

We are not desperate for presidency. Yoruba has the best advantage for self sufficiency and growth. In other words, we are most invested in the Nigerian system that pegs dependency in an unpredictable center. We must protect our values and block lunatics from occupying the center and bringing ruin to everything we cherish in our society. We have the most aggressive drive to ensure whoever occupies that seat is stable and noble and would not repeat past tragedies.

Political turn rotates to South in 2023, we cannot identify one non-Yoruba person in South with the quality to win elections and move the country forward.

So we must occupy the seat ourselves. Others in South are not ready....

Anyway, good reflection and a quick fore warning there by Yomi Lawal.

What Ojukwu saw more than 50 years ago when he tried to liberate his people from Northern bondage is what some people are seeing now

Anything that has ever happened in this country....Ibo had premonition of it 50yrs earlier. Ibos are prophets! But how come you dont know Ibo's presidency is on hold till 2039?

You are correct. East is the capital of homosexuality in Nigeria. Its a cult and Ibo guys get initiated into it.

In 1983, Maitama-Yusuf was accused of corruption by the Muhammadu Buhari military regime of 1983 to 1985. However, he went into exile to avoid prosecution.


BY SAHARA REPORTERSMAY 06, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari has ratified the appointment of Bello Maitama-Yusuf, former Minister of Commerce, as member of the Board of Directors of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).


Auwal Sankara, Special Assistant on New Media to the Executive Governor of Jigawa State, confirmed the appointment, saying Maitama-Yusuf was nominated by Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, Governor of the state.

"In recognition of his hard work, resilience and steadfastness in the progress of APC and development of Jigawa State and Nigeria at large, the Governor of Jigawa State Alhaji Muhammad Badaru Abubakar has facilitated the appointment of Senator Bello Maitama Yusuf as a Member of the Board of Directors of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC)," Sanakar wrote on Facebook.

The board was inaugurated on Thursday May 2.

Maitama-Yusuf's appointment letter read: “Pursuant to section 5 of the Nigerian Railway Corporation Act cap. N129, LFN2004, and all powers enabling the Honourable Minister of Transportation in that behalf, and consequent upon your nomination by the governor of Jigawa State, I am pleased to inform you of your appointment by the Honourable Minister, as a member of the Directors of Nigerian Railway Corporation.

"Your tenure of appointment shall commence on the date of inauguration of the board and shall subsist at the pleasure of the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria, pursuant to Section 8 of the above-referenced Act

Maitama-Yusuf, 74, served as Minister of Internal Affairs in 1978 and later as Minister of Commerce in 1982.

He served as senator representing Jigawa South-West at the National Assembly between 1999 and 2007, initially on the platform of the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP), but he later defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He also contested for the governorship of Jigawa State in 2007.

In 1983, Maitama-Yusuf was accused of corruption by the Muhammadu Buhari military regime of 1983 to 1985. However, he went into exile to avoid prosecution.

Maitama Sule is different from Maitama Yussuf.

Maitama Sule was Minister in Shagari Cabinet. He died recently, he is the one that cocks his hat sideways.

Crayola, i say you are deficient in Iboland. You keep responding exhibiting more deficiencies.

You dont put children in prison, Period!

If you dont know how to attend to issues of your underage criminals shut up and stop responding with crap!

Did we not tell you back in 2005 your society will bear the brunt of indiscriminate baby factories all over your region? Babies born into dysfunctional programme.

Collect petition and write your governor not to put those children in prison. You are playing with danger. You are trying to groom beasts in SE.

brightokechukwu:
The only way a Yoruba will be better than me in this lifetime is if I'm dead and long gone... And even at that, such odds will still be debatable.

Ojukwu said worse. How did he end?

He married the most beautiful girl ever seen in Iboland. Till date no girl of Ibo parentage is more beautiful than Bianca. Fani Kayode, a Yorubaman, proved in Bianca he was better than Ojukwu.

We dont boast...we act!

The Arewa Consultative Youth Forum (AYCF) says that the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his cabals have hijacked over the country.

AYCF President, Yerima Shettima stated this in an interview on Monday, while lamenting that the South-West was allegedly ruling the country by proxy.

Reacting to clamours that the South-East should produce Nigeria’s President in 2023, Shettima insisted that power must remain in the North because Tinubu and his cabals have allegedly taken over the country.

He stated that North will hold unto power in 2023 after which it may decide to handover to the South-East.

Shettima told Daily Post:



http://igberetvnews.com/630868/just-in-tinubu-has-hijacked-the-country-north-will-produce-2023-president-group/

How can a private citizen hijack the country? This is false alarm.

The man minds his business, he doesn't talk, he is laid back and quiet, he is very loyal to his party and very supportive and forgiving. Even when people wrong him he overlooks their flaws and accept them back warmly. Very innocent, couldn't hurt a fly! I think these Northerners are doing their cabalistic treachery again and blaming on an innocent private citizen.

Jagaban, I want be like you o!

They should send him to Saudi Arabia, make sure airport attendants help his luggage, tagged with Akhigbe Tijjani.
This is a sadist, we dont want him to live.

Crayola1:
Yes a juvenile detention center. Or would you prefer minors and adults being held in the same facilities. This a common thing done in the US, Europe, and etc.

You are deficient in SE.

These are delinquent children, criminals....worse than almajiri children. Almajiri go out to beg, your children in Anambra, according to this article, go out to commit crime and terrorize society. They must be locked up in a prison away from hurting people or vandalizing properties in society.

You are deficient!

ojukwu killed banjo simple.

That's the truth! He executed him!

gidgiddy:
The video is Banjo saying that he was arrested while waiting in the ante-room to see the "supreme commander", the title Ironsi went by while head of state. Banjo was arrested by Lt Col Kurubo and Major Anwunah on 17th of January, so obviously, the letter was addressed to Ironsi since that was the same day Ojukwu was appointed Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria. Banjo was in jail throughout the 6 months of Ironsi's regime.


What some people may not know is that Ojukwu actually helped Banjo, and Banjo repaid Ojukwu with treachery. Ojukwu ordered Banjo's release after Ironsi's death, gave Banjo an apartment at Government House Enugu. When Ojukwu declared Biafra, he promoted Banjo to Brigadier in the Biafran Army and charged him with the task of capturing Lagos

Banjo, Ifeajuna, Alele and Abam all plotted to remove Ojukwu. What Banjo did not know was that one of the people he recruited into the plot, Major Bernard Odogwu, was loyal to Ojukwu. It was Odogwu who recorded Banjo and other plotters in a meeting where they were putting finishing touches to their plans and took the evidence to Ojukwu. All 4 men were arrested and faced a tribunal where the tape was played. All 4 men were found guilty of treason and executed

Bernard Odogwu survived the war and wrote a book called "No place to hide: Crises and conflicts inside Biafra"

In this book, Odogwu detailed not only Banjo's plot to overthrow Ojukwu, he also included the transcripts of Banjos trial

Ojukwu is always helping somebody.

Ojukwu helped Awo
Ojukwu helped Banjo
Ojukwu helped Ejoor
Ojukwu helped Adaka Boro
Ojukwu helped MidWest
Ojukwu was coming to help West
Ojukwu was coming to help Lagos

Why couldn't Ojukwu help biafra when it was in distress

igbo people have always betraying yoruba people right from the inception .yet this people continue their attack against yoruba people.

Aguiyi Ironsi kept innocent Yoruba soldier in prison but allowed Ibo coupists and murderers their liberty. Azikiwe, Ironsi, Ojukwu, Okpara, Mbadiwe...all these people had fore knowledge of the coup. They sponsored the massacre of Western and Northern politicians as well the senior Military Officers.

This was an Ibo coup with full political backing from top.

Anambra procures land to build children’s prison
Published

May 6, 2019
Tony Okafor, Awka

The Anambra State Government has procured a piece of land in Umunze, Orumba South Local Government Area of the state for the construction of children’s prison.

The institution, it was gathered, would serve as a correctional home for persons in conflict with the law.

This is coming barely a week after the National Human Rights Commission raised the alarm that no fewer than 523 children were languishing in various (adult) prisons in the state.

Speaking during an inspection tour and handover of the property to the state government by the Umunze community, the Commissioner for Children and Women’s Affairs, Ndidi Mezue, expressed gratitude to the community for providing the land.

She also thanked Josephine Onah of the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption of the European Union for initiating the process of securing the site.

Assuring government’s partnership with RoLAC in developing the project, Mezue assured that her ministry would soon clear the site to begin perimeter fencing of the facility.

She said she would involve other ministries that would have roles to play in the development of the physical structure at the centre as well as set up a committee that would plan the development of the facility and forward reports to Governor Willie Obiano for implementation.

According to Mezue, the correctional facility would provide a proper place for rehabilitating minors who were often picked up on the streets or found guilty of a crime by courts in the state.

“Before now, we have been having issues with where to keep young ones, who had been found guilty of crimes or picked on the streets.

We used to put them in our orphanage at Awka, but it is not enough. So, we really appreciate the people of Umunze for donating this place and we will make the best of it,” Mezue said.

The State Programme Coordinator of RoLAC, Josephine Onah, said the initiative was part of the European Union’s programmes for rights of children, women and the disabled.

She said it was during an interactive session with Presidents-General of the communities in Anambra State that she sensitised them on the need to provide land for building a correctional centre to take care of cases of those in conflict with the law (children offenders below 18 years of age).

Onah added, “We brought our consultant who, after studying the land, came up with a recommendation that the place was suitable for the centre.”

Oga, Yoruba people full Igbo land. Some are friends, former colleagues and tenants.

Some have started buying land to develop in Igbo land, married Igbo wives and born half caste looking kids.

Stay there, make trailer climb your okada.

You hear your brothers on vacation home from West speaking Yoruba and dressed in Agbada you mistake them for Yoruba. Siddon there.

I dont know of any other individual who has been as accomplished as Obasanjo has been successful in each goal of his career in military, in partisan politics, in academics and business...and yet is a natural magnet for controversies and drama, real or imagined. It is even bewildering that all his controversies without exception originate from close quarters and then explode into public space.

Whoever is showing Lady Biafra please photoshop and add meat to her backside. That flat on a woman is a turn off.

Australia suffers from economic challenges. Just few decades ago it was ranked above Canada. Canada did what America did with diversity and liberalism. Now Canada is seen as the new land of freedom and everyone find it attractive to relocate there. Australia is trying to do what Canada did. The invitation to ipob is a way to showcase itself as a liberal country and promote its appeal for diversity and relocation.

You have difficulty keeping your people in your homeland because you are deficient! More than 10 buses of ekene dili chukwu arrive Yorubaland everyday to seek efficiency.

Forget about your 100 story structure and your red roof, you are deficient and your people run away to Yoruba.

The whole town is less than 2million people, less than half of that have cars, and is not an industrial town, no traffic congestion, no water barrier....but money needed to rehabilitate its people and keep them from turning to refugee in Yorubaland was instead invested in bridges so the people can fly over concrete.

Driving through Abakaliki on workday Monday is like driving through Lagos streets on a public holiday. Why are you flying over, for what?

I bow for una deficiency over there in SE.
