Foxyn:
Our government won't pronounce death sentences on them because they're white..

so why should I bother about this news?

Do they pronounce death sentences on Nigerian drug smugglers?

It is the Asian countries that prescribe such, not Nigeria.

Papiikush:
A known gay in a country with strong laws against gays. This country is in the toilet

The laws relate to homosexual activity.

Simply having a preference is not enough to criminalize an individual.

The law itself is stupid anyway.

Why don't we go after the pederasts in the north instead of attacking consenting adults?

Which is it? A taxi driver or an Uber driver?

Not that it matters - if you used a phone to hail the car then you can track the idiot.

Hopefully she'll get all her possessions back and this idiot will go to jail.

What kind of home was he selling for N6 million?

Churches are thoroughly useless organizations.

Why should you take away their time after you take so much of their money?

hush15:
Frankly speaking, I believe nigeria needs to be restructured and regionalised and each region is independent in fact, if possible be a country on its own cos nigeria is too complex for everything to be ran by one man.

But as frank as it sounds, many can't live with truth. And the reason is very simple, everybody wants to be in the south. Even the northerners wants to be in the south hence so much investment and interest here. And if that's the case, would you really think they would want nigeria to disintegrate?

I would prefer your proposal but if the retogrades cannot be made to see reason then we have no choice but to partition the country.

Mambox:
Religion is the new stupid

Religion is very much the old stupid.

This is much better than constantly sending people overseas to be 'trained'.

LaEvilIMiss:
So in the absence of real stats - where do you start from? assumptions or informed opinions.. 92% of Nigerian students failed WAEC similar statistics in JAMB.. do you understand that that originates from somewhere in the ranks of members of society and even those in government circles? you have illiterates in power.. but since you do not have the benefts of numbers, you have decided to believe what comes out of the dubm minds of illiterate politicians.. just negodu

The absence of real data does not justify making up lies.

That's how we ended up with religion and all problems that has caused.

Engage in real investigation first, there's nothing wrong with saying that you do not know. Being aware of your ignorance is better than relying upon erroneous information.

LaEvilIMiss:
you must understand
2% of Nigeria owns the collective wealth and power
1% are of independent thought and can influence change
90% are either too hungry, too poor and too desperate for bread-crumbs, they lend their voices and loyalty to the criminal 2%
7% are intelligent, patriotic and scared shitless to do anything but come to online forums to give suggestions, fight about religion and politics.

stats are my own personal opinion

If the stats are your opinion then they are not stats but lies.

thesicilian:
Doesn't that violate professional ethics?

That and it acts counter to their own interests.

Their bonuses are linked to the deposits that they are able to attract.

What possible incentive do they have?

bolayei:
Please suspend him so he can contest 2019 then after his presidency, enthrone him again. I think we need to try him as president because he has the right attribute.

What right attributes?

He says all the right things but look at his own life - he says that the north is overpopulated and that polygamy has caused problems but how many wives does he have? How many children?

He mentioned that child marriage is wrong but did he not recently take a teenage bride himself?

As to the government waste that he has made noise about - how is he better?

hush15:
That's a treasonable statement u know. Just the type that got Kanu to where he is now

Of course you think that partition is treason because you enjoy watching the foolish north hold the rest of the country back.

magoo10:
lubbish
Just withing weeks he made reference to the failings of the north and it's elites he is now being tried for fraud.
Light will always over shadow darkness .

truth will always prevail whether evil people like it or not

Light will break through occasionally but it is naive to surmise that light will overrule darkness over an extended period of time.

If that were true there would no Islam or Christianity - both are examples of lies prevailing over truth.

newbornmacho:
My brother , na waa oo, what is the solution to this our northern problem? One just gets exhausted with this people's wahala.

Partition the country and leave them to deal with their mess on their own, using their own funds.

sotall:
hmm....fine woman

Blind nairalander.

sammyj:
This can only happen in Nigeria. However, this does not make SLS's comment about the North wrong and wouldn't change anything unless thing are put into proper perspective . Shikena!!!!

His comments are largely right but Ganduje is right to remind us all that SLS is a hypocrite.

Garbage.

Absolute rubbish.

Adminisher:
70% of Nigerians know they have NOT made a mistake.
Nigerians know the problem of Nigeria is CORRUPTION.
Buhari is the only member of the elite class who has called it out and is tackling it . Before now it was the lot of social crusaders and activists.
Now you are having 'adult governance' where corporate citizens like MTN and Shell are compelled to face the law.

Who els could have shown the guts to take hard decisions like this?... Atiku?, El Rufai?, Jonathan?
None.

Is Nigeria's problem corruption or incompetence? Which is the greater issue?

Because corruption will persist so long as you have humans involved in the process - it's a feature everywhere you go.

ONLY N3.4 billion.

Lol.

He gives a good speech but he's as much a problem as the people that he talks about.

maclatunji:
These Nigerdelta youths don't get it. While other parts of the country are making developmental strides. All many think about is 'free oil money' to squander on booze and women.

Think for once.

Which other regions?

The north that has a population that it cannot support?

JayJohnson:
Seem PMB effort is beginning to pay off now. Flat headz, come here and wail

What effort?

The LFTZ has nothing to do with Buhari.

I doubt Buhari could even find Lekki on a map.

Good work OP.

All great points.

Richiez:
This is worse than boko haram because the government (state and FG) cares less. The security operatives act like they connive with these guys. it's Benue today. we don't know where else tomorrow.

It's worse because they know who they are and don't arrest them. Rather they protect them when they're in Nigeria and pay them 'compensation' for their 'troubles'.

Fulanis have been nothing but trouble for Nigeria yet it is Igbos that some people want to rant about.

limitless777:
Will corruption AGREE

Corruption is embedded in the global arms industry. It doesn't stop progress.

mikolo80:
do you know what brave means at all

I do but clearly you do not.

You seem to know what injustice and discrimination mean. As well as immoral and thoughtless.

Nigeria clearly needs more like you...

2kaybiel:
atheism is growing in number online (especially nairaland) not in reality, you can hardly find someone who would profess being an atheist publicly because it is strange in nigeria, people would even think such a person is mentally deranged.

The internet is where people feel free to speak their minds, if they claim atheism online then that is what they really feel.

There are many people who pretend to be religious who can't fathom how any intelligent person could ever ascribe to such nonsense but keep it to themselves.

Nigeriadondie:
Also imagine how much is spent on running govt. If it were spent on developing our human resources u can imagine where we wud be

You need to spend some on running government, just not as much as currently.

The religious spending is completely unnecessary however.

EVarn:
Its a good start,but more needs to be done in terms of funding and technology acquisition to kick-start various military R & D projects.
We should be working towards building our own indigenous tank and trainer aircraft.

If only we spent as much on science as we waste on religious nonsense.

Imagine if all that money that is frittered away on sending people on pilgrimage was spent on something useful, such as investigative science...

gberra:
I will put it in summary; How was the Northern senators were able to lobby for the creation of NEDC but the SE counterpart preoccupied with fat pockets. Olisa Agbakoba advocates for SEDC in his suit, raises the question about the docility & self-greed of their senators. Once more, IPob is Doomed.

The South East is not the region that is plagued with unimaginable poverty, that would be the north.

Clearly you haven't been listening to what SLS has had to say about the north of late.

gberra:
Now you have to detour to the NE?. .. Would you agree that SouthEast senators & reps are the most imbecilics one could never have imagined?.. 16years at NASS leadership with the luxury of two Southern presidents.. And now you talking NE? Forget it bro, IPob is doomed.

Why are the South East senators the most imbecilic when it is the north that languishes in poverty?

Why should I not talk about the north east? Money that is not being generated in the north east is being wasted in the north east because of destruction caused by people of the north east. But you think it is wrong for people in the South East to request compensation to damage caused in their region by external forces?

Sterix10:
My friend,u are saying d northerners are oppressing u,u thinking like dis because u d minority,d northerners are the majority in the country,how will u feel if an American rule Nigeria or how will u feel if King in ur village is an outsider.Just sit down n think like d northerners,how can d minority rule us wen we are d majority.Dats how all human thinks

If the majority rule stupidly, as northerners do, then they should not be allowed to impact on the affairs of the progressive parts of the country.

Run the country as a federation but do not allow them to spoil the good work being done in the south.
