All this whataboutism in this NL. Whataboutism doesn’t make it right. We have a mad man making decisions that is killing human beings. Stupid Nigerians in NL making excuses for a killer . SMH

Democracy is good. Authoritarianism is bad. People determining their own sovereignty and their own form of government is good. A country invading another sovereign country is bad.

The war Putin is threatening would be a totally unprovoked attack by a dictatorship on a democracy -- a decision by one man to kill thousands of people and to seize the territory of a sovereign country because it won't bend to his will

This is Putin’s war and he will pay for it. Unprovoked attack on sovereign country. Let him try this nonsense to NATO nations

Vicotex:
Putin is an elected president and he's far better than Buhari and his analogue in the white house

Putin is not elected… he changed the country’s constitution to stay in power for ever

Ukraine is not part of nato, or else , all hell break lose . NATO won’t join the war unless it affect member countries

This Putin needs to chill. Democracy is good. Authoritarianism is bad. People determining their own sovereignty and their own form of government is good. A country invading another sovereign country is bad.

Why can’t Russia allow us to live in peace . Please leave Ukrainian alone

They did the same to me in port harcourt last week and they just laughed at me and drove off

Most people don’t get it! US is going to be involved with NATO to fight Russia but won’t have time to be looking for citizens , that is the reason he is asking the citizens to leave.

Still waiting for Naija my country to advice the citizens to leave.

A president supposed to be working 24hrs … you should be awoke all the time

bjdon:
No serious counrtry will purchase weapons from someone who will be controlling how you use them. In future Nigeria should focus it's arm purchases from Russia and China. Once we have paid and taken delivery of the weapons, it is up to us to decide how to deploy them.

You want the Nigeria government to use it against civilians? . US are democratic than Russia and China, so that’s why they put clause on it use.

These guys have different avenues for looting public money

Lol. These people are looting with a strategy .

These politicians are shameless … everyone just for themselves lol

buhari Ordered ?? Is this a regime or government? This type of request should go thru the legislature for debate before implementation.

The southern states need a local police to enforce this law, because it can’t be Enforced by federal police.

I am so worried APC would force this man on us. I pity this country . They should allow this old man to rest

“My first experience picking up a car from Tincan Port Lagos to Port Harcourt”

The day started off with me picking up the car from Lagos Port. Thereafter, I proceeded to register it to avoid unnecessary interception from security personnels on the road ensuring all necessary documents were in check.

Knowing how the system functions, I was advised to keep some cash handy for some security personnels I’ll meet at various checkpoints. What I encountered on the road didn’t seem like extortions . In fact! One can say the police, army and every other security officers that are suppose to protect lives and properties of our dear country are the people robbing us.

How did we get here?
Nigeria security services have destroyed this country!
There were about 23 check points all filled with police ,army and customs on the high way. Each had a particular amount stipulated to be paid.
I met like 9 custom officers checking for duty papers. Each asked for a “1k non-negotiable fee” as that was a standard for them. Then the army took 200 naira at each check point.

The police are the worst!
These guys are hardened criminals disguised in uniforms to operate legally on the road. They have no mercy. I spent 2-5k each at checkpoints.
I ran out of luck as I approached Benin where the bigger problem started.

I got to a checkpoint and was told my car is tinted and the registered plate number didn’t reflect on their system. I was taken to their station and asked to pay the sum of 100k. I looked at heaven, left and right for help but none came. I started negotiating the extortion, and we ended up at 40k. After paying I was allowed to leave and so I continued my journey hoping this time the extortions were over.

As God answered my prayers, I didn’t meet any Custom officer from Benin to Port Harcourt just police check points.
In total, I spent 98k on extortions and it saddens me. The questions that still lingers in my head is “why Port Harcourt and Warri Ports are still not functioning till date”?
Why do our Politicians Politicize everything in this country?
If not politics, tell me why the Ports in the South are not operating?
There are lots of readjustments to be made especially where citizens in my country have accepted extortion as norm.
We need to do better!

God bless!!

Tap in master a.k.a Mr. Tap in or Penaldo

It is not only listening to music was the reason for earphones innovation. For marketers, it’s for them to keep engaging their customers while on the road, for family, it’s for them to keep interacting with their families… just to mention a few reasons for earphones invention. Most people conduct their business while driving to see their clients. I live in USA , we are encouraged to use earphone, car Bluetooth instead of holding the phone on your hand. You can’t just put someone in jail for something like this. Anything that involves punishment to the citizens has to go through legislative branch for a debate before implementation to avoid abuse. Nigeria is a zoo (PERIOD).

It’s called hand free for a reason!!!. People answer their phone while driving for a varieties of reasons , such as attending to a business matter,emergency and others. So u don’t expect people to just not talk while on their car. I am ok asking people not to hold their phone with their hand while driving. And most importantly, the law has to go through the legislative chamber for a debate before implementation. Why do one organization just come from no where to implement something big like this. Only in zoo republic you see something done this way… I know this bad decision is just for the poor Nigerians

DonroxyII:
That's USA for you .... Many like this woman will just be killed and destroyed.......... That's why Russia warned Ukraine .... US will just leave you and abandoned you once its no more serving their interest.......

is USA supposed to provide security for them forever. USA trained them for 20years to protect themselves .. even if US still their for another 20 years nothing will change. This is a religion that like to surprising women

You can still contract it if you are careless but won’t be severely ill. That’s the intention of vaccine.It’s science , nothing is guaranteed.

Kano’s Top Official Celebrates Taliban’s Takeover In Afghanistan As ‘Win-Win’

Muaz Magaji, Chairman of the Kano State Gas Pipeline Project Delivery and Gas Industrialisation Committee, has celebrated the victory of the Taliban terrorist group in Afghanistan, prayed for by Isa Pantami, the Minister of communications and Digital Economy.

Magaji, who was first sacked for celebrating the death of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, and later reappointed to his current position, described unfolding developments in Afghanistan as a win-win.

In a manner not dissimilar from Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, who openly declared support for the terrorist group, Magaji said the Taliban taking over power in Afghanistan is a “win.”

Reacting to a story in the Daily News Hausa, announcing the Taliban government in Afghanistan, Magaji said, “It’s a WIN-WIN in Afghanistan today!”

Magaji becomes the second government official among members of the ruling All Progressive Congress party who will openly declare support and endorse a terrorist group.

Taliban fighters entered the city of Kabul on Sunday, hijacked power, forcing President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani to flee the country.

We will ever learn from the past mistakes.
Trump pressed the Afghan government to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners in exchange for peace , some of whom are now back on the battlefield fighting with the Taliban

This idiot was once a minister. Is USA supposed to come here to fight boko haram for you.

Democracy is a great idea, but it can't be forced upon an unwilling populous. Yes, there are thousands trying to flee the Taliban, but it's obvious there are significantly more who want the structure of the Taliban's interpretation of Sharia Law. It makes perfect sense that Afghan forces, who are predominantly male, switched sides. They have the perception that they have more to personally gain than lose.

20 years of training Afghan army but still don’t have the will to defend their country. Do they want Americans to be there forever babysitting them. The Afghan authority and army deserted within 72 hrs. Crazy shit !!

There's nothing humiliating about this withdrawal. It's not the US' fault that the Afghan Gov't was unprepared to fight the Taliban and surrendered control to them without a shot being fired.

traits of a Failed state. Zoo!!
