I don't understand, are victims of Coronavirus suppose to visit the police?

What's wrong this IG of a boy sef?

How stooopid can one sound? All to say something?

In compliance with the directive of social distancing, it's a welcome development. Policemen are also human beings.

If you don't have any serious business at the police station, keep off!!!

Meanwhile, at the initial stage of the virus, you may likely not know you have it.

We must not criticize everything.

RonaldoVido:
When is buhary going to diversify Nigeria's economy ?

Is it when a barrel of crude oil hits $15 ?

As much as I think Buhari does not have the mental capacity to go about diversification... I am even more sure you do not know what diversification means, how much more the cost implications of doing so at this time.

The shutdown is still effective, except for ambulance aircrafts, presidential aircrafts and special duties aircraft like UN and WHO.

Most Nigerians are messed up.

Imagine the corrupt, Islamic fundamentalist we all knew a few years back is now being forced on us as the Nigerian savior.

I don't have any problem with PDP using the dethronement to score some political points, but pushing their opinion as the stand of most southerners is unacceptable!

Sanusi would be preparing for prison by now if Nigeria was a serious country.

NGpatriot:
ipobs and people from that part of the country are in overdrive and falling all over themselves over this matter.

Funny enough, they no longer hate him because of GEJ, he's now their new hero as the enemy of my enemy is my friend mentality.

Kano people don't care

The North doesn't care.

Middle belt don't care

SW people don't care

SS/Ijaw people don't care


...but who are the people trying to commit suicide over Sanusi?

The usual characters ..

Stop with the vicious and malicious propaganda sir.

Most Igbos i know don't care what happens to Sanusi. The rest are happy for his travails because of his numerous lies against GEJ.

As for chidoka, he is playing PDP politics with the situation. It has nothing to do with Igbo's stand on Sanusi matter.

For the umpteenth time, Igbos don't care about Sanusis dethronement. But just like a thoroughbred Yoruba man like falana; some Nigerians are concerned about the arrest and detention of Sanusi in Awe.

Dasol!

I know that a few of my Igbo brothers think too highly of themselves and thereby say things that draw resentments towards the Igbos in general.

... But i can bet anything that the op is not Igbo.

Very stupid and foolish submission.

thundafire:
marrying a new wife isn't a crime once u can take care of her stop twisting dey message he said if u can't take care of one wife y marry another

I never took sides in my submission. I clearly stated what played out.

Sanusi preached against having many wives and children. He went further to condemn those who can't take care of their multiple wives and children.

The north understood it as hypocrisy because he was trying to tell them that unless you are as rich and an emir with massive fund inflow; you are not supposed to take multiple wives.

If Northern elites like Buhari, IBB etc preached such message, nobody would have taken offense. But from a serial womanizer and a man with many wives, they went crazy.

redsun:
This is truly a good spin. But how true are your allegations?.

Obviously, a traditional ruler that condescends so low to take side with the devils will become a devil himself. That position is sanctified and earned not just by birthrights, traditions, and wealth, but by a high sense of morality, fairness and unblemished uprightness.

It was easy to remove him because he wasn't the popular candidate for the throne.

His ascension was political from day one. It was used to score a political point against GEJ.

It was a case of my enemy's enemy.

There are a lot lies, propaganda and half truths flying around as the reason Sanusi was dethroned.

Some said he was carefully edged out to prepare him for the presidency in 2023.

Others said it's because of corruption. While the government of Kano said it all has to do with insubordination.

The most laughable reasons being thrown around is that he is outspoken against the ills of the north.

Now, anybody who understands Northern politics and psychology would hardly disagree with the points I'm about to give.

1. Hypocrisy: Sanusi is one of the most hypocritical human beings to ever walk the earth. And the northerners know this.

While chairing the CBN, Sanusi accused GEJ massive misappropriation of funds. And while doing this, he was unsteady about the particular amount he claimed was missing.

This same period, Sanusi was also unduly applying CBN policies to favor certain group of people and organizations. He was also embezzling funds and making donations above the stipulated mark required by the law.

Sanusi carried that hypocrisy into Kano emirate. There, he subtly shaded the government of Kano and made her look inept and clueless. Because of his influence on social media, he used every opportunity to speak against the ills of the north.

Northerners and northern elites were never against anybody speaking truth to power as almost all Northerners are tired of some bad cultures that need to be made away with. The issue was that most of what he spoke against, he was guilty of.

A. Taking multiple wives. (He did, and a far younger one at that).

B. Radical Islam. (Northerners know his past history).

C. Spending on frivolity.(Sanusi was the most extravagant monarch Nigeria have ever had).

D. Corruption. (Sanusi was as corrupt as they come. It reflected in the way he ran Kano emirate).

Etc.

All these hypocritical live irritated and infuriated elites, the masses and most importantly Ganduje. Sanusi made him feel stupid even when it could be said that Ganduje has done more to eradicate what Sanusi has been talking about all these while. Ganduje recently stopped Street begging which is a milestone than just yapping.

2. Interference in state politics: Sanusi was one of the major instruments used in voting out GEJ and therefore felt that the post of Emir was not enough compensation for him. As a hypocrite and a person with huge sense of entitlement, he felt he should be allowed the power to determine who becomes what in Kano state. That was the beginning of his fall.

He openly supported and campaign for another party and person vying for the same seat of his kingmaker. That was the day Buhari through Ganduje decided he has to go. It was going to be a matter of time.

Finally, I'm not a supporter of GEJ, Ganduje, Sanusi and Buhari.

Just a handful of Sanusi sympathizers.

Yes, in the coming days, they will double. But that's where it will end.

Nothing serious will come out of it as majority of Kano indigenes support the dethronement. Why?

1. Because they never liked Sanusi for his gross hypocrisy.

2. The dethronement is fully supported by Buhari because of his support for PDP in the last election. And you know how much mess they can endure for that one.

sassysure:
It's our value system. Simple

Value system. As simple as that.

True, harsh climate could contribute a little to quick development, but it all boils down to value system.

Singapore is as hot and sweaty as Nigeria, they developed even faster and earlier than South Korea, Indonesia and far earlier than China that were all colder.

Unlike their neighbors in East Asia, Thailand and Philippines just started serious development about 15 years back all because they use to have the same value system as Nigeria "God will judge".

Effective punishment and reward system is what develops a country.

If you like, have all the electricity in the world and you don't have equal justice; it will be a matter of time before the whole country collapses.

The only country that has tried to prove this theory wrong is Sri Lanka. And e get why...

Oshigun:
Some good points. Yet it is not too late for Igbos like you to hold your leaders and fellow Igbos to account. I always find Igbo hatred of Yorubas amusing because it is misguided and myopic.

Whatever the problem of Yorubas, you can never convene our youths to carry guns and knives to be butchering other Nigerians in the name of religion. Yorubas will never create terrorist groups to attack and kill other Nigerians in cold bloood. Everything we do is to protect our people and our freedom to live as we want in Nigeria.

Yorubas are the most accommodating and least problematic of the major ethnic group because of how we fundamentally believe in live and let live be it over religion, women's right, freedom of association or even accommodation of others.

If Igbos spent 10% of the energy they use to obsess over Yoruba matters on their own misrulers then many will appreciate the SE has much work to do and that the region is lagging behind horribly in terms of the big challenges facing Nigeria today.

Please i don't engage in sentimental discuss.

Enjoy.

MelesZenawi:
Oga blame your state governor, senators and representatives.

Senators from other states are not the problems of misfortune in your state.

SE is a political zone not a state.

My first submission and this your counter has no bearing.

Except you are just trying to be mischievous, you made no point.

Okoroawusa:
Hahahahaha!
Did you say Abaribe? Abaribe is a political opportunist like his brother Nnamdi Kanu using the current political situation to make pleasant statements that will gladden your heart while not lifting a finger to advance the course of the igbos. Talk... talk...n more talk. Like Abaribe like Nnamdi Kanu.
Ndi ara nabu!!

Sure. Abaribe is an opportunist just like most Nigerian politicians. The difference between him and other Igbo politicians is that just like other sectional politicians like Tinubu and buhari; he works and aligns with the people's to achieve his own goal.

He is far better.

As for Nnamdi Kanu, people like him thrive where there's injustice. It doesn't even matter if he is a terrorist, rascal or freedom fighter.

Except Abaribe, most Igbo politicians from the times of Iwuanyanwu and Nzeribe are opportunists who grab power for their selfish interests. And in order to maintain those political powers; they feel it's best to worship whoever is the head of central government.

Orji Kalu would have been more powerful than Tinubu today as even Kalu had more political command and foundation as far back as 1999. Both were very greedy men but the difference was that in Tinubu greediness, he persevered and didn't cede his territory for momentary gratification. Check out their situations today.

As for the current Igbo politicians especially the governors; they are ceding their rights and territory like Orji Kalu did just for 2023.

Such greed usually fails.

I salute Yoruba politicians because even in their shortcomings, they hardly loose focus of serving the general interests of their people. No matter how sectional and ulterior the motives are.

1. Tuwo shinkafa (porridge rice delicacy) goes well with local soft rice.

2. Men his age and time don't find rice and stew appetizing.

So, most likely, Buhari eats Nigerian local rice.

Lostz:
any APC lawyer in charge of zamfara review should quickly withdraw before same fate befall him

So because of N10m, you will advise billionaire lawyers to withdraw a case?

First, the burden of the fine is usually bored by their clients.

Secondly, once a case is filed; it doesn't matter whether you withdraw it midway, the lawyers will still be fined for wasting the time of the court registrar.

Litmus:
Crap. USA owes 12.5 million pounds, they should efficiently pay that. They are supposed world leading Nation, they should pay parking fees and set the standards on how responsible nations should act. Nigeria is a young nation.

Are you one of those lousy diplomats at Abuja house? Cause if you took time to read my submission, I was not concerned about embassies owing their host countries as it is "normal".

First, USA and Japanese diplomatic, consular and security services require frequent use of embassy vehicles and movement which in turn gets a lot parking fees.

What is small Nigeria embassy and her scanty operation doing with generating such parking fee?

Nigeria is a young nation?
Then south Sudan and east Timor should be on the list of those with highest parking fee.

Na waoh.

See "patriotic" Nigerians making silly excuses for such wastage and frivolity.

"USA and Japan incurred packing costs too." shame!

First, when you compare the amount, efficiency of consular and diplomatic services USA and Japan give their respective countries, it becomes fair to overlook such fines.

But what excuse does Nigeria diplomats have to give to accumulate parking fees as much as USA and Japan who have embassies and programs 10 times bigger than Nigeria embassy?

If we must survive, we must learn to do the right things and shun partisan politics in crucial issues.

Some of us biafrans are not sensible at all.

What did you expect Gowon to do? Cede off Biafra?

If he had done that, that same year; him and his kinsmen would either be serving as a slaves to the Fulanis or be dust by now.

What is happening to Nigeria is spiritual. If Igbos go today, the northern minorities and Christians will either be forced to convert to Islam or decimated in less than 3 DAYS. It's common sense and it's spiritual.

However, Gowon has a lot of blood on his hands for not reaching a settlement which could have prevented the war.

As much as i love the idea of Biafra. Maybe more than any Igbo man. I don't see that nation in sight for the sake of innocent Christian and minority blood in the north.

Nigeria will experience peace and development soon. But before then, something will shake Nigeria to her foundation very very SOON. It will look like war, but it's not war.

SenecaTheYonger:
How do know this?

It doesn't matter how i know.

Just follow up the story in the coming days and all I've said will come into perspective.

Are you aware Burantai has withdrawn about 20 top army officers from the office ONSA without replacement?

Are you saying kyari is that powerful to influence such immediate withdrawal without a stronger backing or knowledge from the presidency?

Okoroawusa:
All the comments I have seen so far are missing the points the Op is making.

The Op is talking about our society n most of you are commenting about the Nigerian economy.
The pastor raping his daughter is not doing so because of the economy.
The parents paying for special center for their child about to sit for UTME is not doing so because of the economy.
The woman using pressing iron on her maid is not doing so because of the economy.

Also from our comments so far I can see that we are still exhibiting the character that has kept us away from development...the idea that we are not part of the problem but the next man is. So we dwell on blame game n self righteousness.

NIGERIA WAKE UP!!!

"Women’s fate is bound up with that of an exploited male." - Thomas Sankara.

You can't separate the effect of the economy from our dysfunctional society and homes. Thomas Sankara understood it well.

Bad leadership produces bad policies, lack of meritocracy and unequal justice system.

These in turn produces BAD ECONOMY and crimes.

BAD ECONOMY produces scarce resources, unemployment and winner takes all attitude and exploitation of workers of which most are men.

These exploited males now go back to their community and homes and lash out the frustration to who they may be stronger than. Most times their wives, daughters and weaker people.

That's the stage of all those vices you mentioned.

They are all linked up. It's a vicious cycle. But vicious cycles always start from a particular point.

What you and the op stated are facts, but they are just the symptoms of a problem.

I just hope i was clear with the causes of the problem.

Cheers.

Abba Kyari is not as powerful as some people try to paint him.

He is just an errand boy and face of the cabal headed by Mamman Daura and Isah Funtua.... And fully supported by Buhari.

All these stories of Kyari flouting orders of the president is make believe. Buhari will tell you publicly what you want to hear. Then give instructions to Mamman Daura on what he actually wants. Mamman directs Kyari to carry out the last order.

Even Aisha cannot boldly and publicly accuse Mamman Daura of anything because he's too powerful for her. So she goes for the fall guy; Abba Kyari.

Abba Kyari is the conduit pipe, shock absorber and fall guy for the buhari backed cabal.

He is just an errand boy.

The zombies involved should be arrested and charged to court immediately.

I've been in a position to know that overzealous fans or supporters can put one in trouble. Odumejes fans will be the people who will finally expose the fake prophet.

Don't get me wrong. He has some serious powers stronger than all those dibias yapping up and down on social media. But the source of his power is not from Jesus. It was a revelation i had last night.

As for the so called ada Jesus, you've been a blackmailer like most people who have large online audience like Sowore. And just like Sowore, nobody deserves this barbaric treatment given to you.

Just like selfless revolutionaries like Mandela, Steve Biko, Thomas sankara, Lee Kuan yew, che guavera....

... and terrorists like Osama, Yusuf and shekau....

.... and rascals like Kanu, tompolo, Sowore etc...

Nonentities regardless of their ulterior motives and interests usually become popular when they side with the people to speak and fight against a glaring injustice in the land.

It works like magic.

Guys stop abeg!!

Huawa is by all means a very beautiful girl in Northern Nigerian standard.

However, it's natural for people to loose the feel of seeing a criminal as good looking.

Abi no be the same Fulani girls people are always yapping of how beautiful they are?

Kendroid:
Where was your thoughts when you were busy making the video?
I hate when responsible people behave like Speed Darlington!

It means you don't know speed darlington very well.

The goofy comedian is always serious and talks straight when serious issues arises. He can't get this low.

That said, from day 1, Ali has always been a childish guy who feel like the world owe him.

Good thing he has apologized. None is perfect.

I saw in a dream where kanu was assassinated. It caused an uprising that shook Nigeria to her roots.

Again, I encourage all sides to act with caution.

Sijo01:
That's what you get when you refused to be committed to your family (wife) who prays endlessly for your success and safety every day.

Are you drunk or you can't read?

A soldier and a mobile police had issues because of a lady. The mad soldier went and got their truck and fired at the facility the policemen are stationed. A random bullet went and hit another mopol who didn't know anything about the quarrel.

As much as I'm not a big fan of Odumeje, we have to learn to say the truth even when we hate the people involved.

Odumeje was not snubbed by Ganduje. He was blocked by the governor's security details because of the way he charged at them like someone who had ulterior motive.

Ganduje didn't even see him.

I thought Tinubu and Adeyinka grandson said it was Evans the kidnapper that was kidnapping and maiming people in south west forests?

This is confusing for me.

In the past months, I've have witnessed a rise in the attack of Christianity.

Most of these attackers will give their reasons for the attacks because of some bad pastors.

Just like most Christians, i believe the law should take it's course and that is death sentence on the devil incarnate.

But that being said, it's pretentious to equate this serial killer's case with that of people who kill in the name of their religion.

Unlike those who kill for their gods, this deranged soul never at any point in time tell the police or journalists that he was killing for Christianity or for a later glory.

Christianity gives massive room for forgiveness. But it never supports murder of any sorts. In fact, Christianity regards hurtful speeches as murder and sees it as a big offense. How much more bloodletting.

The serial killer may have repented or not. If he has; good for him. That is what Christianity is all about. Christianity is also looking forward to making sure he is prosecuted and duly punished.

Christianity is not responsible for Africa's backwardness. The backwardness has everything to do with people's ignorance or half-truths. Or just plain mischievous
