The Naysayers have come again, this time they are when branching into football... Alright. There's nothing in the prophesy about Covid-19, strange

Clearly the protection of our women folks and the children who are the leaders of tomorrow is very sacrosanct and it is a thing of hot to see VP Osinbajo being personally vested.

Must be hard to have been such poor student academically. A complete lack of emotional intelligence is only exacerbated by a poor reading habit. NLTP vs RUGA

T9ksy:
This fake pastor RUGA should just STFU.

We have heard just about enough of his sanctimonious bs. Even "stevie wonder" can attest to this govt's nonchalant attitude to our lives, most especially non-fulanis.

The security of lives and property of Nigerians remains ever sacrosanct. We rejoice for the safe return of the boys while avoiding a repeat of such is a must

this second wave is actually something that Nigerians should be expecting and as such we should be more responsible by following the NCDC guidelines; Social distancing, wearings masks, and washing hands frequently.
The second wave is as a result of plunging temperatures and the Covid19 virus we know does not like heat but prefers cold. one of the major reasons Africa has fared better than most other continents

NEC is right by stating that better coordination between security agencies is the way forward. Another important method is the taking of security issues seriously on a clan and village affair, to prevent these places from being used as hide outs

The Vice President, having identified the MSMEs as the fastest way to bring Nigeria out of poverty, regularly goes out of his way to put in place policies that would empower the average Nigerian especially in the aspect of trade and commerce.

Failing to plan is simply planning to fail. We are fully aware of our shortfalls and we need to to address them before they skyrocket out of control

hopefully those concerned can take a good cue from the above in the interest of the nation

this is such a great scheme and the average Nigerian easily benefit from this by simply logging in to the website provided.

The APC has already shown signs of zoning to the south, let all displeased and displaced persons continue to enforce that the other strong political part does the same... the particular zone in the South is irrelevant. there's still time for posturing between now and 2023

the immediate release of 200 is a good step but we need the joint effort of the Presidency as well as the armed forced to rescue every one.

the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo has consistently shown himself to that leader that you can depend on to address the issues as they affect the average Nigerian despite gender or religion or tribe

When square pegs occupy square holes, the results is very visible to see.

The sagacity of the VP had never been in doubt, when most of these cut throat politicians are simply thinking of themselves playing checkers, the VP is already considering the future ramification of actions at the federal level like an astute chess player.

it is true that we live in a patriarchial society, but even then the rights of women and children must be continuously protected in order that the society would continue to flourish. Kudos To VP Osinbajo and everyone else involved.

First, OP asks a bland open question, does not give his own stand or position yet asks that we vote. Everything is still cool, when persons start to pick Prof Osinbajo he starts to ask why, but makes a gleeful response to the only person that tries to spoil the image of the Vice President. we need to often see beyond what is being projected and decipher the intent of malicious OP's.

The vice president has repeatedly started that he's only focused on performing to the best of his ability tissue ensuring that success of this present administration.

With a little bit of a rejig, more ammunitions and better motivation, I think we can ensure that justice is actually served and those farmers did not die in vein

A full restrategizing of the operational framework as being proposed by the Presidency is the best way out.

to even the pupils in primary schools studying the natural resources present across the nation in different states, Even without crude oil, we still have more than enough resources to be a successful nation and on that note Vice President Osinbajo couldn't have said it any truer

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has subsequently been turbaned as the Madugu Jihan Nasarawa (Captain and Leader of Lafia). More feathers in his cap,

can't wait for the times when it would be readily possible to convert our cars to hybrids to that we can halve the cost of fueling. I was actually surprised when VP Osinbajo actually said that most Dangote trucks are already so fitted. Hope rising for the average Nigerian

The President hasn't said such, and until then, all this recourse to what the VP said it didn't say is simply empty brouhaha.

The vice president was the one that actually made all the movements that led to the eventual disbandment of the SARS unit as he actually met with and later took the IG of police to meet President Bihari after which the unit was scrapped.

The federal government aims to improve the power situation across the country and that is why they have come up with such a laudable scheme with aims to empower people in the rural areas especially those not on the national grid. Although the information is that 5 million homes would benefit with the expectation that 25 million people would benefit.

Slowly but surely, the people continue to feel the impact of the government, and this can only be good for the economy.

United Kingdom Members of Parliament (MPs) have kicked against sanctions for Nigeria following deliberations on a petition signed by over 220,000 people.

The UK parliament met on Monday to discuss the shooting incident that happened in Lekki, Lagos state during the EndSARS protests by Nigerian youths who were calling for an end to police brutality.

Nigerian citizens largely youths were protesting human rights abuses, harassment and assault by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other police units.

Abena Oppong-Asare a Member of Parliament for Erith and Thamesmead reckons that placing sanctions on Nigeria might not resolve the misunderstanding, rather she called for an independent investigation to be conducted.

“The UK Government will continue to work with the Nigerian Government and international and civil society partners in support of police reform,” British Ghanaian MP said.

Adding that, “I do not believe that placing economic country-wide sanctions on Nigeria will help address the ongoing issues of police and military violence.

“The UK Government should first call for an independent investigation into allegations of misconduct by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

“Furthermore, that investigation should look at the wider issues of violence and human rights abuses by military and police across Nigeria.

Taiwo Owatemi shares a similar sentiment. The Member of Parliament for Coventry North West argued that sanctions could have repercussion on the citizens.

“On sanctions, which we are here to discuss, if we can ensure that they will not negatively affect civilians—directly or indirectly—I support a travel ban and asset seizure sanctions for individual officials who are found responsible.

She argued that, “British officials trained SARS officers from 2016 to 2020, as well as the Nigerian army. What did that training entail? Could it have prevented escalation of this kind? Standing here as a proud British Nigerian, I implore the Minister and colleagues across the House to pursue answers to those questions and to do what they can to facilitate Nigerians’ fight for freedom.

For Wendy Morton who serves as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for European Neighbourhood and the Americas the disbandment of SARS by President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria is a step in the right direction.

She also cautioned that since judicial inquiries are ongoing across Nigeria, it is instructive that the panels complete their probe before sanctions can be discussed.

“We welcome President Buhari’s decision to disband the federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, the police unit at the centre of recent protests, we also welcome the emerging dialogue between state governors and young people.

“The Nigerian police force’s recent adoption of the community policing framework developed by the Nigeria policing programme is a positive outcome. Our support to civil society was instrumental in the President recently passing the Nigeria Police Act 2020, which provides for greater citizen protections and improved police training, which we believe will benefit Nigerians.

She added that, “We will closely monitor the judicial panels of inquiry, and will continue to advocate for investigations of police brutality. The Government will consider their options as the panels’ work progresses, and improve the accountability and transparency of the Nigerian police, for the benefit of all Nigerians.

“The Government will also continue to work with the Nigerian government and international and civil society partners, to improve the accountability and transparency of the Nigerian police, for the benefit of all Nigerians.

Other MPs at the deliberation were Theresa Villiers (Chipping Barnet), Kate Osamor (Edmonton), Tom Tugendhat (Tonbridge and Malling), Janet Daby (Lewisham East), Alyn Smith (Stirling), Stephen Doughty (Cardiff South and Penarth) and Mslyn Brown (West Ham).

Very lofty ideas, and soon we will begin to feel the impact in reduced prices across the nation

There can be others more qualified but authoritatively I'm certain that is only because we cannot say probability is zero. Prof Osinbajo is clearly the best for the job.
