No one dares Tinubu, abi no one threatens the territorial integrity and people of Nigeria? Oga NSA?

What did you expect?

What has the Nigerian police done since the onset of the chaos?
While this was ongoing, some were mounting checkpoints asking young drivers for tinted permit and other ridiculous reasons to extort (huge problem in the SS).

Gov Okpebholo needs to engage and empower the Edo Vigilante. Apart from the military, they are the security agency who have shown to be very effective in curbing crimes in the State. Also, a strong liaison with military commands in the State is very crucial.

In this era of technological advancement, revenue and tax collection has to be done through automated, effective and coordinated methods, with no need of various groups killing themselves over 'collection of revenues on behalf of the State'.

Now back to the 'billion naira' question: Moving forward, how does the State leadership intend to engage the lions and tigers post-election?

Nice!

Seems the government will be positive in terms of youth engagement.

Congrats to my homies

Most importantly, every part of Edo State should experience the effects of innovative, pragmatic and accountable leadership.

It has even lingered for too long. But better late than never.

The sanitation of the FCT was inevitable. It's unfortunate after Obasanjo's administration, we saw mostly mediocre FCT ministers.

Most of these shanties are sited in the heart of the FCT furthermore, on people's lands, most times leading to unnecessary land disputes, poor hygienic conditions, criminal hideouts and most importantly, retards the development of the FCT.

I believe there was adequate notification period before this exercise. The Country is quite hard for most Nigerians, but sanity and development must be sustained.
It's the responsibility of the government to prioritize affordable housing schemes for citizens, and very importantly, eschew corruption so it succeeds.

In addition, strict punitive measures should be put in place for corrupt officials in land administrative agencies such as AGIS, and in Development Control.

They use their criminal proceeds to buy titles, qualifications and pay their way into politics.

FBI reportedly arrests newly elected Ogbaru LGA Chairman, Nwadialo, upon arrival in Texas for alleged romance fraud totaling over $3.3million



40-year-old Franklin Ikechukwu Nwadialo, the newly elected chairman of Ogbaru Local Government Area in Anambra State, Nigeria, has been arrested on arrival at an airport in Texas, United States, on charges linked to a multi-million-dollar romance fraud scheme

Nwadialo, indicted in December 2023 by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington, faces 14 counts of wire fraud. The defendant allegedly sc3mmed victims out of up to $2 million by posing as a romantic partner deployed in the U.S. military.

Nwadialo was traveling from Nigeria when he was taken into custody. He is now set to be transported to the Western District of Washington for arraignment.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman disclosed the challenges of prosecuting defendants involved in overseas romance scams, stating, “All too often, the defendants in these romance scams are overseas and unreachable by U.S. law enforcement.”

She commended the investigators for their persistence in bringing the defendant to justice. According to the indictment and criminal complaint filed in the case, Nwadialo allegedly defrauded victims of more than $3.3 million.

Nwadialo used various versions of the name ‘Giovanni” when he met his victims online on websites such as Match, Zoosk, and Christian Café. Nwadialo used false images for his profile and typically told the victims that he was in the military and deployed overseas so he could not meet the victims in person.

Gorman said, “Using these personas, Nwadialo invented many reasons he needed the victims to send him money. In one such case in 2020, he indicated he had been fined by the military for revealing his location to the victim. He asked the victim to help him pay millino,000 fine. In al, that victim was defrauded of atlas

Meanwhile, a second victim was contacted in 2019 to help move funds from U.S. accounts to accounts controlled by the defendant and his co-schemers. “In this instance Nwadialo represented that he needed the help moving money in connection with his father’s dath. The victim transferred at least $330,000 to the accounts controlled by the defendant,” Gorman said.

Gorman explained that a third victim was defra·ded by Nwadialo when he told her that he was investing money for her. “He claimed that a check she received from another victim was proceeds from her investments and he had her “reinvest” the money in a specific cryptocurrency account that he controlled. The victim transferred at least $270,000 at Nwadialo’s direction,” Gorman said.

According to the statement, in August 2020, Nwadialo defrauded another victim who he met on an online dating site and caused this victim to transfer at least $310,000 by claiming he needed financial assistance, including help paying for his father’s funeral or his son’s school tuition.

“The fourteen counts of wire fraud relate to the communications with Nwadialo and the wiring of funds from victims to the defendant and his co-schemers.

Gorman noted that wire fraud is punishable by up to twenty years in prison. “The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law,” the statement said. Gorman further stated that the FBI is investigating the case, which is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sok Jiang.

Very necessary.

The State is fast slipping into anarchy and lawlessness.

What's all the lamentation about?

During the same period in which Kemi emerged leader of her party, Local Government elections were held in various States in Nigeria. Have you seen the results? Have you bothered to juxtapose the process which produced Kemi and that which was called LG election in various Nigerian States?

And who gave you people the impression that Nigerians in the UK voted her as leader in order to begin frolicking with corrupt clowns?

You guys are not ready!

It's still early. By 3am tomorrow INEC will announce their result

Congrats to Donald Trump

As the minister of the FCT, Wike is performing.

BadBradley:
when Ikwechegh slapped a Bolt driver, the Bolt driver's association didn't go on strike.

I don't know why Nigerian doctors are socially awkward, psychological compromised and have the arrogance of a village tout.

So innocent patients and infants in the paediatric ward will now suffer because one stupid commissioner assaulted a doctor?

Nigerians go through this everyday, the doctor should simply file a police report and get the commissioner arrested without blackmailing the kani state government and betraying the Nigeria public who are patients in that hospitals

This is how one doctor was kidnapped and these misplaced idiots who lack empathy for their patients but think only of their ego went on strike abandoning the very lives to were supposed to try to save

Now a useless proud Commissioner assaulted a doctor on duty and they called for a strike.

How really educated and evolved are these plonkers?

In a country where primitive orcs slither their way into political positions, the action by NMA is in order. This is the only language the apes in government would understand.
If the commissioner is not honourable to resign, she should be sacked. Simple.

Enough of cowardice. Nigerians shouldn't go through this everyday!

As for the albino cretin who shamelessly assaulted the bolt driver, what disciplinary action was taken? Was any noble decision taken by him or even the house?

Until these nonentities begin killing Nigerians randomly before Nigerians act?

This is the one that got exposed o!

Police extorting one another in order to conceal their perpetuated crimes.

You can imagine what the citizens in the State go through.

I thought this guy had something to offer as a minister of works.

Instead, seems to be an empty megalomaniac!

The other day he was yarning rubbish at the national assembly when being questioned regarding his ministry.

Meanwhile, almost two years into this administration, no work done regarding the most used infrastructure - roads!

In fact, there is no existing Benin-Auchi road, Benin-Ore road in a terribly bad state, Benin-Sapele Road still dilapidated. Same complaints in most parts of the Country.

And he expects no one to question him?

Where the swipe?

Very empty statement. Na political spokesperson write that crap?

This is the problem.

The so-called masses would want the absurd to be carried out for stupid reasons and not expect the consequences.

The governor does not appoint speaker of the house. That responsibility is left to members of the house. The governor may only lobby for a particular individual.

If there is no check and balance between the arms of government, the masses whether APC member or not will be the ones to suffer from the effects of bad leadership.

The same professors are used to rig elections to bring in those who further impoverish them.

Same with most of the judges who have compromised the judiciary.

I have no regard for these folks.

Each protester granted bail of 10 million

Meanwhile a Rep who assaulted a citizen and threatened to make the citizen disappear with overwhelming evidence was granted bail of 500 thousand.

Nigeria is sick!

Segzy19:
To me, this is still nonsense..

Do we need their approval for anything?
Do we give them letter of credence as well?


Western countries always giving letter of credence to African countries... So we should take it as achievement or what?

So the inept leaders continue the 'good works' of enslaving themselves and their people for generations!

It's surprising this illegality being perpetrated by the council hasn't been resolved.

Poverty, lack of values and principles have kept many Nigerians in the state they find themselves, which may even get worse. I see no reason why Nurses in general with other allied staff have not downed tools nationwide.

When Nigerians are ready, they should know what to do, at least by 2027.

Autopsy and thorough investigation need to be done in order not to falsely accuse anyone, and of course, get the accurate cause of death.

Xxxxtentacion2:
it's very clear they died from the pepper soup.
If it wasn't the pepper soup at least one of them that ate the soup should have survived. Simple logic

It's not that clear-cut!

You may be shocked after autopsy and investigation the deceased may have died from CO Poisoning from generator fumes, for instance.
Was the meal she prepared the only meal from an outside source they all ate together?

Even if it's established there was a case of food poisoning and it was from her food, intent and motive would still be sought. Could it be manslaughter?

This is a complex case which would require high-level expertise.

sameks08:
Let him remember to write petition against soldiers that beat bus driver for Edo

Bus driver who violated traffic? Kudos to the soldier!

The rate at which people driving commercial vehicles misbehave in Edo is irritating.

You can't drive recklessly against the Red Light through major intersections putting lives at risk. Driving against traffic and stopping on the middle of the road to load or drop passengers or goods just because you think Edo is a lawless place, or you want to feign 'strong man' abi you belong to one setting at your old age!

Una go too collect. Don't worry! More of this to come!

An efficient task force which would work closely with the military would be instituted and have the full backing of sane residents of Edo.

In addition to significant fines to boost the IGR of our beloved State!

SoftSport:
While violence must be unequivocally condemned, we must also avoid hasty judgments.

The bolt driver stated that he was struck three times and had his clothes torn to shreds simply for requesting that the lawmaker, Ikwechegh, step outside to collect his package.

We must also await a response from the lawmaker to achieve a more balanced understanding of the situation.

The lawmaker deserves respect as a prominent figure in this nation, and we must exercise caution in addressing these matters.

With little influence or power many of these guys reveal their maniac nature. Just give small appointment to some of them.

I don't expect any meaningful statement from the so-called lawmaker.

Expected.

Formidable candidates from the South-East should be explored.

As for the present vice options, Kwankwaso would be preferred.

Another senseless comment

These clowns have forgotten they were sent there by the people for representation and can be recalled when deemed necessary.

And this is coming from someone who wrestled the senate slot from an already elected candidate in his constituency.

Nigeria is just looking like a joke.

Alexas58:
Plenty novice on this thread!

You clearly saw that there is no clear base!
The first guy that is on funded next!

You clearly saw that there is a fresh decline!
And you went and set buy limit!

Immediately you got stopped out!

Forget about making money in this game first

Think of how to understand how the game works!
Then every other thing shall fall in place!

2 years of consistent learning

3rd year, you can start becoming profitable!


Y’all skip the process
It’s meant to be
1. Learn
2. Practice
3. Earn!

But you all start from stage 3.

Happy new week!

Can oil sustain support?

Or will it take us to 67

We are currently experiencing a little downtrend in a support region


Trade and think like a champion

There's still room for further discount to 66 - 67

Angelfrost:
The best of us have left in droves to foreign lands...!

How do you build a prosperous and advanced nation when your best brains have departed?!!.

We are talking Human Capital Development here.


Someone said that's why education subsidy should go so that people will value Naija better, and I laughed!

Even if education is expensive here and of good quality, is that enough to keep gifted professionals?!!


Without security, great working conditions plus remuneration, and better facilities, the brain drain will continue... Till there are no more professionals left in the system.

The best?

Not everyone aspires to japa.

Many great doctors who choose to remain are the greatest heroes.

This senate might turn out to be worse than that led by Ahmed Lawan.

Akpabio is not even suppose to be in the senate in the first place. After blatantly violating the electoral act, the opportunist was not only allowed into the senate, but was planted as the senate president.

I wonder what Nigerians expected.
