Ttalk:
I was expecting you to state a verifiable instances and not make a blanket insinuation.

Should i start by looking at Igbo who moved their voting centres from SE down to Lagos or you want to see video where a Yoruba man was killed at Igbo dominated centre in Lagos.

Should Lagos people see that as an agenda and drive away SE from Lagos?

Why do you make everything about Igbo, are there no other tribes in Lagos, why are the not accusing Lagos as not accommodating.

Why are people fleeing your region to same Lagos if you claim they are not accommodating. Is your region where a married couple was be headed more accommodating?

I stated my genuine fears, of why I don't support state policing and you have your own reasons why you support it , I can't say your reason for supporting it is baseless and you can't say mine are baseless
Like I said, there are my personal fears

DomPerignon:
Yes they are genuine fears when you see state policing as a hindrance to your expansionism.

Was this not why Ojukwu rejected Gowon creating regional armies under decree 8?

You have now jumped to another thing,

I have never read about this gowons decree 8 of creating regional army, cause from what I know ojukwu was the one pushing for regional army after igbo and other eastern officers were been killed by their colleagues in the north middle belt and south west
Tell me about it

DomPerignon:
So if it happened under federal policing why then should you complain over state police ?

Cause It will be worse under state policing

Ttalk:
Tell us who and who from SE that was oppressed in Lagos. We are in digital age, you don't have to make baseless insinuation and expect to be pat in the back.

You have to show record, name the Lagos police that oppressed your people.

Rather than your unwarranted fear what Lagosians have witnessed is insult and criminality brought into the state.

These are the people calling Lagos no man's land

Alot of igbos , go to markets run by majority of igbos, lagos tax force harass and extort money from igbo traders on daily basis, agberos do same, we have seen how igbos were denied voting during elections in fact mc oluomo was captured on camera doing this during the last election

Ttalk:
That fear is baseless and an insult on the good people of Lagos who endure the excesses of many criminals who find their way to Lagos.

You can't say my fears are baseless they're genuine fears cause some of my fears are things that already happen to my people in lagos it will increase with state police where from top to bottom is run by people who can't be neutral if a case between an igbo and a Yoruba is reported , plus many of the people who believe in those threats some will be amongst the state police

DomPerignon:
So this is the reason why you oppose state policing?

Of course, I oppose state police out of my own personal fears

Ttalk:
I put it to you that you have nothing to worry about unless you commit any of the crime mentioned above.

Why your fear? Is it only SE people that are living in Lagos?

I fear for my people, cause there have been threats of igbo must go, there are threats about we will forcefully take over igbo properties, there are threats of if igbo don't vote who we want we will throw them in the lagoon, I was in one tiktok live stream where someone was saying we will take back all those properties we sold to igbos, we will stop igbos from celebrating their festivals etc, with state police all these can be done and igbos will have no place to report to

Ttalk:
What triggers those fears when the fear of thief, kidnapping and other heinous crimes are being perpetuated by the people you are defending?

I didn't mention anything about using police to tackle criminality , you know what I'm talking about

Ttalk:
Tell us what police has done to your people in Lagos. Am challenging you on this serious allegation so we can dig and bring out all the rot committed by your people in Lagos.

I

You are pointing out to police when I clearly stated my fears, read my previous comments again

KendoXR:
If he can be the governor that fixes this he will be remembered like Sullivan was for his urban developments

I believe from now to 2030 that's if he wins second tenure he will get it done before then, the plants are ready it's the distribution that is the problem, cause new pipes will have to be layed in areas that never had one, and those places that already had those pipes will be removed and replaced with new ones cause the pressure is busting the old pipes

Ttalk:
But state police in SE won't use it to intimidate non natives.

Why must you think it's only SW that will use state police to harass Igbo living in Lagos.

Do you think they will harass other tribes too in Lagos?

Don't you think others non native living in SE stands to witness same harassment?

Your opinion is bias and bigotry

I'm stating my own personal fears of state policing, cause even without state police I know what police has been used to do to my people in lagos so it's my personal fear

Flangelo12:
You will have state police and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

I'm not here to argue, I'm just expressing my fears , there is nothing I can do about it, that's true

BrickandLace:
okay ,once again it's only about Lagos.

Nwanne, who do you this thing ?

I'm not saying it's only about lagos, I'm telling you why I'm against the state police cause I know what will happen to my people especially in lagos

Josywhyte:
The solar battery was tampered with before it was sold to the owner. I've seen this before. A guy bought a solar battery and same thing happened. After due investigation we discovered it's a second hand batter( already worked on).
Thank God were very fast to take it out side....stay safe

The battery is small it could be that he overload the battery

johncreek:
Why small batteries , that must be substandard imo.

Could be the battery was overloaded

KendoXR:
Very true, Enugu case is unique because of topography but there are still ways to work around this issue

I think the governor of peter mbah is working on it

BATified2023:
which government

State or federal?

Enugu capital depends on Enugu State Water Corporation for water supply, people can't drill boreholes there cause of coal beneath

BATified2023:
Their children don't care since it's not Lagos or oyo, replace Enugu with any south west state n this thread will reach 15 pages within 10 minutes

As if those places you just mentioned have pipeborne water provided by government they don't, rather they drill boreholes, enugu depends on government water supply cause even they drill boreholes it won't work cause of the coal beneath

lawani:
Sorry about that water expenses. Here I get all my water free piped from a borehole and the only expense is electricity to pump it. All the other things apart from water will cost in South Africa at least three times the cost in Nigeria at least the service aspect of it

We can't drill borehole in enugu cause of the coal beneath, we depend on The Enugu State Water Corporation for water supply the pipes comes all the way from 9th Mile but it has not reached every household plus the water is not 24/7 so we buy from tankers which is expensive

lawani:
Like what and what? Any service you pay for in Nigeria will be worth at least three times in South Africa. Any producer selling anything in Nigeria more expensive than the price in South Africa is making excess profit. Check the price of anything except high tech products that are traded internationally

Water , electricity, healthcare transportation etc I live in enugu where I buy water 25k every week

lawani:
Going by the cost of living, someone earning 200k in Nigeria is better than someone earning 400k in South Africa and the lowest earning players in south Africa earns 400k. Do you now see what I mean?

It depends, if we go by the essential facilities, services, and conditions south Africa can provide compared to what Nigeria can provide for its citizens to live a comfortable, and dignified life
South Africa is higher but better

lawani:
Someone has pointed out to me it is probably per annum. If it is per month, then some players in Europe will seek for transfers to Nigeria

But in South Africa league

Lowest Salaries, For junior players or those at smaller clubs earn about R5,000 to R15,000, that is roughly about 413,700 naira per month.
General Junior Baseline: Squad players with a bit of experience earning R30,000 to R50,000 roughly N2,482,200 to N4,137,000 per month.
League Average: The overall league average R40,000 to R45,000 about N3,309,600 to N3,723,300 per month (roughly N40 million annually).

Top Earners / Elite Tier: The highest-paid superstars pulling in R500,000 to over R1 million monthly take home a massive N41.3 million to over N82.7 million per month.

So 2 million per month Nigerian league is not too high, the federal government should invest more in the infrastructure so that Nigerian citizens will start paying attention to the league and troop in to watch live matches at the stadiums, it should also be shown on local TV stations, in that way money can be generated

lawani:
A minimum wage of 2 million naira per month is too high for a league whose prize for the champion team for a whole season is only one billion naira. Is minimum wage in the UK up to 20 million naira? because 2 million in Nigeria is more than 20 million naira in the UK by purchasing power

Forget about the 1 billion prize cause not every team will make it to the finals, 2 million per month for player's is not too much these guys are putting in the work at least it will stop alot of them from moving to Europe or south Africa

erniok:
Being prepared is one thing. Being prepared and meeting an opportunity is anothing affair altogether. When people meet opportunities and lose it, it's either they were not prepared or never recognised it as opportunity.

I know people who had every opportunity to succeed and were well prepared for it but lost it to misfortune

Wotowotoman:
Davido is not the sharpest tool out there. No be by to dey shout. There is no way Ronaldo money can ever finish.

If na only 500 million dollars he put for one investment or even fixed deposit. And he gets only 5% on, that’s 25 million USD per year. 2 million dollars a month to flex. He can basically live that way for the rest of his life without making any more money!

Investment is still part of making more money, if he stops making money is the point

erniok:
Reminded of this quote" when preparation meets opportunity, people call it luck",if Tony was not prepared when he had that opportunity, he wouldn't be where he is.

The point is, he was not the only well prepared person, there were a lot of people who were prepared for that type of opportunity just like him or even better, he met the opportunity others did not, others had the opportunity but lost it to misfortune for him luck was on his side

Thedon22:
This might affect some of Obis supporters who have been asking for all sorts of badluck for Nigeria because Obi lost 2023 elections. They prefer the military Burkina Faso Traore. They better do it before 2027 elections so that they don't take part to support PO.

Nnamdi kanu is not a Nigerian he is a Biafran the Nigerian government should release the foreign citizen

DeltaBachelor:
Sarz is really “on the beat” with this one. So pathetic honestly. To have “24 hours light” you would need to create it yourself with “alternative sources” like Generator or solar etc. God help us o

Back in the 90s living in rayfield jos plateau State we had light 24/7 the only time power went off is maybe when they want to shut it down for maintenance and they will announce it on radio before doing so , or when it's raining heavily with lightning strikes , it was a private company though (NESCO) not NEPA

Arkmanbuddy:
I believe it's a waste of time arguing with Reno in this case as he's stated before now, admitting his fault in believing false accusations in news platforms and he's apologized. The evidence is there.

If both men: Reno and Sowore are brought in to discuss this, there's no way Sowore can win as Reno will present records: date and time, showing his rebuttal of his former statements against the president.

Reno is a trouble maker and he enjoys this kind of thing.

The time Reno omkri was calling tinubu a well known drug lord there was no time he claims he got his information from news platforms did he?
