He has a right to know. It's his right. failure to state the reason for an arrest is same as kidnapping that person.

Hmm. In Nigeria you know how it goes.

firfinch:
You would be surprised that nobody did that to the seller intentionally, it could be that it was left opened overnight, and the wall ghecko fell into it

Most likely. That is product of carelessness, which blame they should still take.

Sonsly041:
That is why I don't buy zobo.... I prefer doing it myself

Very sensible though time consuming.

semyman:
Some will ever be biased, goods destined for for Nigeria and Nigerians shipped into other countries, ferried across unmanned illegal routes and people even like what you wrote here?

Border closing was never the full story.
There is so much more favourable things that government can do (to achieve desired results were they sincere), which they stiff-neckedly will never make happen because they are not that committed. Nigerians deserve better than this.

Introvertedmarc:
Peter Obi, vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019 presidential election, says people in power do not get told the truth.

Obi spoke on Friday as a guest speaker at the first convocation of Chrisland University, Abeokuta.

Speaking on ‘Creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship: A critical intersection for economic development in Africa’, Obi said the challenges besetting the country are many.

He noted that the failure of the leaders to invest in education and entrepreneurship led the country to its present economic state.

He blamed the leaders for their roles in promoting corruption.

“The truth is that in Nigeria, the problem is over 75%. The country has been criminalised. Quote me, I am talking from experience of somebody who had served, I was there for eight years,” he said.

“What I found in Nigerians and your parents here, including me, I am a victim of that, I was governor for eight years, you can hardly see anybody who tells you something is wrong.

“Everybody calls you his excellency, that since you came, things have changed, even, when you know that nothing has changed.

“It is just that we have a government that has criminalised the society and people celebrate criminality. So, nobody could say to them, stop.

“Those who steal, if they come to church they will give them front seats, so, why would they not steal? They are the ones who are given chieftaincy tittles, they are the ones who get tittles in the world. So, we need to change all that.”

He urged the youth not to “toe the lines of the previous leaders in the country”.

Peter has just told some truth. Same thing many have been saying, but as usual ever available sycophants and yes men will refuse and keep denying and insisting things are all fine.

ridbell01:
election is not won online if you are illegible to vote in the election go and vote stop this here

Exactly my dear.

allthingsgood:
Close ur mouth there! Unpatriotic folk. Why must u eat importrd product when Nigerian rice is superior

That is an unpatriotic way responding to her opinion, don't you think so?

Sagay212:
You shouldn't bother because you have no answer to the questions asked. Some you guys think everyone Nigerian is enjoying and okay like you. Only if you know the number of uneducated and unenlightened Nigerians we have out there. Many of them are not even aware of the so called senseless operation show ID by the govt.
Shey na fulani man wey dey inside forest with cows wan get voters or ID card, abi aboki wey dey shine shoe or fishermen wey dey village or the hunters struggling to feed?

The operation is useless and pointless. Secure your territory and don't allow illegal entry. Focus on developing the country. It should be operation fix roads, hospitals, education, feeding and operation family planning especially in the north. Tell your govt to stop chasing shadows and wasting time, money and energy on useless operations.

The bolded captures it all.
Unfortunately these guys are used to all manners of mediocrity being churned out which to them is excellence.

Lucid1:
I'm quite certain that 99% of you guys have valid IDs but due to the hate-filled nature of the average Nigerian towards their government, you just want to criticize cos you have a medium to do so.

National ID is free, even if you misplace it you can get another for a 'token'. The ID might take years to get ready but the slips are valid too and are replaceable on the spot.

Reality creeping in?
I see you mean the hate-filled nature of chronically irresponsible governments towards the average Nigerian. You now admitting government's woeful failure in all this after all?
You find those questions too heavy to answer?
Tell me something else please.

Azmanaty:
Will u shut up there! Is Nigeria an advanced country?? First provide the citizens with water and basic amenities before u start talking about positive ID. [b]In advanced countries, ID takes minutes or hours to get processed and released to the owner, in Nigeria NIMC takes minimum of 8years. [/b]Abeg yarn another thing

What more can we say.

Lucid1 just in case you are typing from outside the country.

Lucid1:
Story. IDs can't be replaced ni? Outside this country you're required to carry some form of ID, why can't such be replicated in Nigeria. There are always exceptions and if that happens, you'll be quizzed on other means of validating your citizenship. I support the army 100%

And you sound like such replacement, even getting one in the first place is easy as it ought to be like you make it appear. You no longer trust the corrupt system and corrupt officials of same government in charge to as usual frustrate such efforts. You forget the unofficially official racketeering that goes with it unchecked, unpunished? Does the law say you should become a criminal because you don't have your ID with you at any point in time? How do you know such exceptions, can you define it? You supporting the army does it change the fact the military is pushing too far into what is not their core function or is it your way of confirming that after all like critics say Nigeria is a banana Republic?

GENERATOGERIA:
You should be worried about your country. Stop talking trash,huh? Ghana is doing fine and your people are arriving here in their thousands despite the “border closure “. How are these nigerians able to pass through a “closed border?”

Fuckeduppedness I can’t believe nigerians think not allowing a couple of Ghanaian trucks to enter their country will collapse the Ghanaian economy very foolish reasoning, if you ask me. By the time your generator-powered economy zooms into recession, na that time una eyes go clear

Needless using abusive words my dear.
It is well. We all need each other to survive.

Houstency:
Something tells me this is a guise used by the current occupants in Aso Rock to checkmate the masses or what is to come.

Anything is possible.
This is Nigeria!

Lucid1:
i don dey carry my IDs since last month, I can't comman allow army men to embarrass me anyhow over common ID.

Imagine the IDs get stolen what then happens if you get caught?

Charly68:
People should allow the[b] military to do their job ,the men should however be professional in their conducts [/b]

Police work now military work, in a civilian regime?
Professional? People who have history of unprofessional conduct will suddenly become professional because they are now demanding for ID card from people in an already polarized country? All manners of abnormality now looks normal because there are "good" reasons why they should be allowed to stand.
I guess professional criminal elements don't know how to beat this arrangement to go about their criminal activities.

BUSHHUNTER:
Police dey harass

Sars dey kill

Boko Haram dey slaughter

Fulani herdmen dey massacre

kidnappers dey operate

armed robbers dey fire

Bandit on genocide mission


Now Military movement is next


God deliver us from Pharaoh

Speechless

rexosazy:
This really wickedness of the highest order. The Fulani- Hausa herdsmen were never this inhumane 2 decades ago. Where is the hope for agriculture and food sustainability in Nigeria? This incessant farmland destruction by herdsmen is discouraging for prospective farmers, especially the youths. Moringa does quite better in the north than other rain forest parts in Nigeria. The way forward is think security before even starting a farm in the North

Honestly, speechless.
Wonder what is stopping powers that be from closing the borders against the blood sucking herdsmen in favour of national security and agriculture they act like they care about.
Such hopelessness, all manner of hurdles genuine hustlers have to surmount just to make it.

tinapaj:
we don’t really pay taxi in Nigeria, Nigeria is among the countries where its citizen pays the least tax. Don’t like Buhari, but must confess this a positive one from him

If you know how much the impoverished masses sacrifice for the great comfort and luxuries the criminals in government enjoy at the peoples expense (like hardly any other country in the world), you will know it is blasphemy to say the people are already not being overtaxed.

Elipsis:
So, if i go to a supermarket to buy goods worth N1,000, i'll pay N50 for Stamp Duty, pay N4 for SMS Alert and still pay N52 for inter-bank transactions.

If i go to 5 supermarkets in a day, ill still pay all these things again!

Minimum wage has not been implemented. VAT has increased to 7.5%, Cost of rice and other food crops has skyrocketed. Toll gates will soon be introduced across federal roads. NEPA/PHCN has increased their tariff. Even to get National ID in your own country, you'll pay N5,000.

Borders are still closed, other ECOWAS countries are now planning on waging economic sabotage on Nigeria.

No good roads, no water, no light, no security, no jobs.

By the time Buhari is done with us, Somalia will be better than Nigeria.

We pray God forbid.

dominique:
It's better as a first timer to go with someone familiar with the terrain. If you don't have a good eye for quality and a strong bargaining ability, it's advisable not to go there

Your head dey there.
Like they say, you must shine your eyes.

Interesting

NimrodEndOfDays:
2019 and the best policy our affidavit president is to close borders and be chasing people with bags of rice. Many Nigerians are outrightly dvmb and can be manipulated easily. The budget was passed and education was not considered as a project that is worth upgrading and people are here debating smuggling and rice ban Our senators spend more than half of our budget through reccurent expenditure an people are clapping that Buhari closed border. No one is talking about the debts that this government is piling up. But what we have to show much concern is to close borders. Everyday there is something in the news that makes one wish that Nigeria is destroyed like the cows that were struck by lightning.

I tell you.

alizma:
As if you have solved all your personal problems over night.

It's not hard to see these guys pretending to want to solve the problem when in actual fact they don't want to. It's the ordinary Nigerians who like to be deceived by them that should be pitied.

DUBAI STRATEGY turned out to be the DUBAI TRAGEDY



https://mobile.twitter.com/fkeyamo/status/1189617465136955394

Exactly same way the courts will give their verdict on issues and APC government will gladly flout the courts orders and do just what suits them, that is how Atiku finds the judgement unacceptable. It's not hard to again see that APC and PDP are same after all.

Even with their so called victory at the polls and the courts, the APC cannot help reward or I should say punish the masses with their bad governance exactly like PDP with their Atiku will do.

Either way, whether PDP, APC the masses are doomed.

Imagine that orderly don go like this o
No work easy sha

That is how expendable everyday Nigerians are.
The system doesn't just give a damn how well or not commoners are faring.

The hopelessness of our nation is such that we can't help but laugh like this albeit wierd.

bro, u can still install play store on it. my Huawei phone I brought just last month I have to install play store on it myself.. those China phone are bomb, with long battery life. have use infinex, Intel and techno, I can say Huawei is far better. I don't know about the others sha

Sure, that is for one who chose to buy the Chinese Variant of the phone.
Huawei is ahead of the pack, followed by likes of Xiaomi.

CalvinGaye:
I really have heard these xiaomi phones are so good, but NY problems with then is how I can can understand the Chinese language used in it and how to download new apps since it doesn't have Google playstore

What's the fuss about Chinese language when you can choose the variants that comes with English language?
You have the choice to make between the available languages.

iLegendd:
Do you have a laptop? Or a desktop?

If yes, go ahead, but of no, use your head.

Use that money to buy a second grade laptop + a modem and learn a digital skill on YouTube with night plan. I don't want you to buy a phone you'll only use to watch porn, masturbate, and chat with unproductive friends.

If you disobey, I don't want you to come back to Nairaland years later with a new moniker complaining about how you're depressed, how you masturbate too much, and how you need financial help, else you'll commit suicide. Be warned. Be wise.

LMAO! So na so the matter be now?

I Am From Gombe I Didnt Believe These Online Fraud

But you believe in online help? Very funny.
If you know how to search online, even this site, by now you should already know what is good choice to go for.
Sometimes people don't just bother giving advice on these cos it might just turn out to be wasted efforts where the beneficiary doesn't value it.
