What percentage of Nigerian youth are engaged in IT jobs?

Dey fool unaselves.

Who in his or her senses would sign up for the military in a country run by rogues?

With the way INEC is being used by these desperate people parading as politicians, it's obvious what happened in many parts of the North during the 2011 general elections would very likely repeat itself by 2027, but this time it would be nationwide.

This road na 'express' compared to Benin-Auchi Road. Not sure any work has commenced there till date.

Not everybody can take the shit igbos are doing to Yorubas.
I guess he called Bayelsa no man's land

It was two fighting, and none of the gladiators was from Bayelsa. Although one was appointed commissioner in Bayelsa, seemed to be very interested in the Ohaneze presidency.

The GREAT NAIRALANDERS at the moment I am not in the capacity to get high in an adequate way except cheap highness that’ll affect me in a negative way, I need someone who can assist me with HENNESSY. God bless you.

May still affect you in a negative way as the chances the Hennessy may be fake would be as high as 99%!

Congratulations to the New LGA Chairmen.

Most importantly, ensure you serve your people.

No worry na prank!

The lecturer hide iphone 16 for pocket.

Prior to his governorship candidacy, Wike was a LGA Chairman, Chief of Staff to the Governor, Minister of State for Education, Minister of Education.

Police acting as common touts?

NPF is at a new low with this IGP.

The e-CMR debate

The police Central Motor Registry (CMR) has always existed.

However, the Inspector General of Police announced that they were going to digitise the registry and create an electronic central motor registry information system.

He said that policemen would no longer need to stop motorists to demand for their papers because they would be able to access the registry from the computers in their patrol cars and determine if a vehicle is registered, if it has been stolen, etc. People whose cars have been stolen only need to inform the police and the cars would be flagged on the system and the patrol officers would be able to determine that the cars have been stolen simply by checking their in-car computer.

The police set a deadline for motorists to register for the e-CMR.

However, many activists, including the Nigerian Bar Association condemned the system. They said that the law does not permit the police to register vehicles and that the police was taking over the powers of other government agencies. They also condemned the fee that motorists would have to pay to register for the e-CMR (around ₦5,000 to ₦6,000) . They said that Nigerians are going through a lot and the police should not add to their burden. They threatened to sue the police if it forces motorists to have the e-CMR.

The Inspector General of Police subsequently suspended the enforcement of the e-CMR and said that they were going to use the time to sensitise stakeholders on the need for the e-CMR. He said that the law permits the police to develop strategies to combat crime and that it was not true that the e-CMR was illegal.

Note: It was only the enforcement of the e-CMR that was postponed/suspended. Motorists are still registering on the system.

The onus is on the police to diligently and discreetly collect data of registered vehicles from the Internal Revenue Boards of the respective States and the FRSC. Which one is deadline for all Nigerians to register their vehicles with police, with even a fee?

This is beginning to get irritating. What is wrong with Nigerians?

We already know how this is going to play out; opportunity for extortion galore!

I hope INEC knows this foolishness cannot be replicated in the 2027 general elections, especially in the North. That is certain.

This was what led to the events of 2011.


As for these ones (APC), when PDP, the biggest party in Africa at a time was rigging like no man's business, they were the ones crying upandan. Now they are at the helm of affairs, they are even doing worse, instead of enforcing reforms.
Invariably, it would soon rotate as the power is ephemeral.
In all of these, it's Nigerians (including their clueless supporters) who would suffer through their tenures.

Even the whole Irrua sef, compared to Ekp and Urm.
Monday should just follow Ibori template and revive Irrua.

Not just Irrua, but he should ensure sustainable development is established in Edo Central which has basically lagged behind in terms of government projects in the last 16 years at least. Oshiomhole, as should be, did so in Edo North which at least, made life better for the residents.

IdowuRufai:
When I read some comments here of individuals supporting illegality, I can only say that the bad policies, corruption and the current economic state of the country befits some Nigerians. Interestingly, some of these folks here are the most hit, they are getting a good measure of the suffering and yet choose daily to support the evil being meted at them. May God save Nigerians from Nigeria and her bad political elites.

Many Nigerians are debased and unstable. It's not a joke!

Probably, some of them think they may be living their best lives within their suffering, maybe, better than their neighbour brings some form of consolation and defensive attitude in favour of their usurpers.

Congrats to Monday Okpebholo.

Bros, ensure you are dedicated to ameliorating the suffering of citizens in Edo and bring prosperity to the State.

lexy2014:
How do you know that okpebholo wants to work?

Which work has he done in his personal capacity in d past?

In his local government area, Okpebholo had been consistent in providing support in areas of security- vehicles, security personnel welfare. Also infrastructure such as roads. Scholarships also.
And this would be a major opportunity for him to bring development to Edo Central. That was what Oshiomhole did in Edo North for which he is much appreciated up till this day.

In addition to continuity, I supported Asue due to his level of exposure and capability of attracting investments and development to the State. Most importantly, for governance devoid of political infightings as many of the selfish individuals had defected to join their ilk in the APC during the run-up to the elections.

Of course, na common knowledge nah!

No be secret

etrouble:
Even in the governor’s local government? Any politician that can be rigged in his homebase is nothing but a worthless bastard

You go cry tire

It wasn't anything violent, only collaboration with INEC

Nigerians are in trouble though

This was heavily rigged by the APC though.

Anyone privy to events last night knows what happened to this result and that of Ikpoba Okha which necessitated the trip by the governor to INEC head office.

With the political baggage Okpebholo carries, I hope Edos won't relive the effects of poor governance due to conflicts of interest of those who have 'invested' in the APC governorship. Asides that, Okpebholo na cool guy who wants to work for the Edos as he has done in his personal capacity in the past.

pretydiva:
You are right op. Obaseki really messed up his second tenure by fighting unnecessary battles and creating enemies for himself.

Edo people stood by him even when he had a fallout with oshiomhole. But what did we get in return? Nothing tangible he did in his second tenure.

I personally wasn’t invested in this year’s election. Didn’t bother voting yesterday, although my parents voted for pdp.

Asuen would have been the best candidate but it’s rather unfortunate the greedy and power hungry obaseki ruined it for him.

And as for those saying Edo don be Lagos, Edo can never and will never be Lagos. Nobody has the monopoly of power in Edo state. If okpebholo’s first tenure is nothing to write home about, I trust the good people of Edo state to vote him out.

Unfortunate, but very true.

It's our job to beckon on Okpebholo to work for the Edo people, and lend their support to the government toward achieving a prosperous State.

Protests ongoing already.

Tension everywhere

Many of such results from some areas in Edo North are already INVALID!

Edo South and Central in the bag for Asue, with significant number of votes in Edo North.

Sharp

💯

humility33:
LP messed up. I am from edo state

You see Peter obi and atiku they're not politicians. Even Tinubu had to redirect them to re do edo state apc primaries. Oshomhole actually wanted Idahosa.... it was The TINUBU led group that insisted for Monday because it is the turn of the Esans to rule

Your LP is anywhere belle face party and Peter Obi doesn't even understand politics to know that

Well should hum and atiku refuse team up together in 2027 they'll only pave way for Tinubu second term and when he is done ruling power goes up north and that will die up Obi and Atiku political ambition

Kwankwanso will stand a big chance by then..... all he needs to do is to pick a south westerner as a VP

Crystal clear facts!

Na the only thing this one sabi.

Any thug who touches anyone in Edo will not return.

These clowns are detached from reality.

How many Nigerians will be able to afford the change in cost of products and services?

Even some State governments are unable to pay such.

1stDoggystyle:
All those secondary schools paying 30k for graduates will smell pepper

The school won't smell pepper o!

It's Nigerians who hope to access formal education who will pay at least x3 to x4 of their current school fees.


It's obvious the government doesn't critically evaluate its policies.


One obvious effect will be a skyrocketted unemployment rate as many organisations will have to layoff staff. Even Federal and State governments have refused to employ.

Result - A huge population of unemployed folks in an economy with high cost of surviving! Imagine the social effect!

Penguin2:
He’s not “way ahead” of Olumide Akpata. An accomplished lawyer and the former NBA National President.

So, tone down on your hype of the Asuegbe of a man.

The only thing is that instead wey APC go win, make Asue win.

asobo1:
Are you kidding me. Olumide Akpata was elected NBA president because younger lawyers wanted to change the status quo by selecting a young lawyer. Ighodalo is way ahead of Akpata in their separate profession.

Asue Ighodalo is an accomplished LAWYER!

Banwo and Ighodalo is a well-known reputable law firm owned by Asue.

One of the big names in corporate law.

Wow!

That's the Shehu of Borno's Palace at the city centre.

This was definitely severe flooding.

We totally reject such statement from the IGP.

Our Edo State Security Network will be very much active during the elections.

You expect Edos to sit down so some desperate mofos will import tigers and baboons to mess up the electoral process.

Absolute rubbish!

Amayabor1:
Look at this clown.

You will suspend their operation because you are the governor of Edo state or you are the house of assembly. Where did you derive your power from?

If you want to quote, know that I am from a Edo state!

You can imagine! Suspend operations of ESSN who have been very effective in order to allow mayhem from desperate Oshiomhole and co. We Edos reject that rubbish decision.

I hope abductees were not among.
