Taiwo Oyedele, may Nigeria never happen to you.

SpatialKing:
Yes oh..

I opened Ecobank last month from the comfort of my room here in the US....

My bio was captured online

CBN doesn't need special account for diasporal

Strengthen and equip the exiting banks accounts to do more...

Practically meaning you used a 'fake' proof of residence. You used your erstwhile proof of residence.

This initiative means no need to be 'fake', use your US or whatever country's residence and you're cool.

DaddyCoool:
LIE. Dozens of apps remit money in minutes and at better rates than CBN

And how much can you remit with those apps? Or is apps that merchants would use for so and so?

Great great great! Basically non-residents saving in Nigerian banks. If this pilot test succeeds with Nigerian diasporas, Nigeria may as well be on the path to being the financial headquarters for other countries' nationals.

And financial services sector is the major source of income of some number of countries in the world.

Sound initiative. Hopefully it succeeds. Mostly would depend on the trustworthiness of the Nigerian banking system, and the innovations and ease of banking with the banks.

Presidential system of government is shitty. One man makes decisions that are important, often based on their whims and biases without subjecting it to representative's debates or their millions of citizen's opinion. Presidential system of government is shitty, nonsensical and more like demi-god-ness over citizenry.

A lot of human beings are just wicked. They wouldn't mind acting evil even on their said children.

NGOs are the easiest to ban especially in a conflict zone.
No NGOs can operate in such area without government approval.

The ones on ground even move about with government approved security details.

NGOs are neither ghosts nor Boko haram that is ready to die for its religious ideology.

You mean that 100% all NGO's should be banned? Or select NGO's?

Say 100% ban on all: meaning WHO, UNICEF, and many other NGO's that provide medications, treatments for babies and nursing mothers, teach/train people on health-care, take care of epidemiology, and so on should be all banned. Do note that throughout the world, in the South even those many necessary NGO's are operating and so on. So, Borno people caught in conflict should lose on quality of life because of arms dealers?

Say select ban: "Dankoko NGO" the arms supplier that used pretext of donating mosquito nets is banned, "Fridada NGO" the paracetamol donator the arms dealer is banned too. Fine, tell me, would the people behind the banned NGO's not start new ones or partner with existing unbanned ones to carry out their arms sales?

Sure, they could ban some, but banning is ineffective in their contexts. Other solutions like getting the people selling the arms or behind the NGO's and jail them.


Also, the ones on ground don't move around with government security details. They move about with hired private securities. Some may include govt, but majority are privately contracted security. Get that fact!

MarketDispatch:
Army is operating in a conflict zone, is it not sane that every item that moves into that conflict zone is properly searched.

The NGO's do they appear and disappear into the location? Are there no entry and exit points into the conflict zone. The Army should install NGO screening Zones , mobile Truck Scanners etc like you have at the ports. All vehicles to be scanned, inspected and given zone pass before entry or exit. There should be a solution

See exactly what is done by Israel below...so why is ours different

How many checkpoints can the government erect? The border is very large spanning hundreds of kilometers. Have you been to the North of Nigeria? And unlike the South, Southwest for example where it is road or forest, there are no tropical forests in the North and vehicles can even pass beside houses, within people's compounds, no need for roads. There are hardly hilly terrains there either. So how many checkpoints can the government erect?

Cooperation with other West African countries (Niger) and Chad would be better off, all of them together, and convicting offenders caught.

Nigeria-Niger large borders can't be compared with Israel/Egypt, Egypt/Palestine tiny border. Even, check the maps.

Xisnin:
Bunch of dullards.
If NGOs are the arms supplier. Get them all banned.
How hard can that be?

But they won't make such move as there will be no more
"enemies" to be blamed instead of sheer incompetency.

They are too scared to even name one of the NGOs.
SMH

NGO's are not easy to ban, there'd be more. FG would be better off arresting and convicting the staff members involved effectively sending message to the NGO's and the country they may stem from that "one agent down", "try this never again", and the diplomacy that follows.

Otsam:
Clowns .... This government and propaganda are inseparable. Always active to shift blame. Since you know there are some ngos doing that, don't they have names?? Is it the ngos too that's reintegrating terrorists into the society even into the military??. Continue.

You don't understand things. They are not shifting blames. Society is rather complex than it is just direct.

For one, there are very many NGO's in Borno state and in Abuja. Diplomatically, they have access to many structures because they are NGO's and donate this and that... It's not straight up in short, and the DHQ isn't propaganda-eering.

*Prison budget isn't enough for the millions of terrorists, unless they are executed. They are criminals, and for some of them, it's become their ways of life have been possibly cajoled to join.

Rather common knowledge. Iran and mideast are not even closely related to terrorism in Northern Nigeria, but the West (e.g. France, UK) along with their coy NGO's, their multinationals, and their military officials even in the Sahel West Africa, ever up to tasks of continuously fuelling terrorism.

Northern Nigeria's terrorism isn't jihad but crime mostly kindled by the West as a form of their proxy to continuously ensure a destabilized Nigeria. The aboki's are just ever willing tools in the hands of UK, US, the West in short.

"Rich" people are busy people. Children require time and commitments.

Dynamicboss:
Fantastic good news.

Shame on our financial institution in Nigeria. I won’t blame them, rather a useless regulatory requirement by CBN

Heading to Amazon web to buy valuable items

Yes, when you get to the Amazon web [services] and are buying 'valuable items', help me buy some "valuable tennis shoes and bats".

davades:
I no kuku understand what this is for !

AWS is like computers in the cloud (rent-a-computer), there's more.

So a tech set up that needs to be running 24/7 and/or needs super large computers and/or wants to be closer to its users in their regions, AWS and co are the answers.

martineverest:
They are losing market shares to Microsoft

You mean to local players. Azure doesn't accept naira. Ms Office, yes, but Azure, no.

Will they be charged and prosecuted?

Austineva2:
The wayree should talk about how thousands of innocent Biafrans living in the North and Southwest were massacred in their cold blood in June 1966 which they called counter coup. 15 January coup was planned by all tribes within Zoological republic called Nigeria for the betterment of the irredeemable Zoological republic, only for them to map out Igbo Biafrans for total annihilation. E no go ever better for anybody still campaigning for one Zoogeria called Nigeria. Tufia

God keep blessing The United States Of Biafra 🙏
God bless General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
God bless General Philip Effiong
God bless Maazi Nnamdi Kanu
God bless Prime Minister Simon Ekpa
God bless all Biafrans
Iseeee 🙏

Terrorist!

fasterwell:
When you tell man to fear his creator he wouldn't listen

Everything isn't about weapons and soldiers

The same fire element you were promoting by producing deadly weapons that produces fire at a blast

The high and mighty and now homeless

Neighbors are now family

You can't bomb oh shoot everything with carnal weapon

The case of los angeles in california should serve as a reference point to what will happen to the world when it will be destroyed by fire

Weapons (bombs) are not fire burning, they ignite and produce massive shock that shook things, also blast leaving shrapnels and destroy things with great magnitude. Guns have gun powder that also ignites and the bullets are propelled at great force...

So, in short, fire may be furious but it is little in effect to exterminate or to destroy living creatures.

Lastly,

You can't bomb oh shoot everything with carnal weapon

You have not heard of nuclear weapons. Hiroshima doesn't ring a bell to you.

Bullfallo:
.if fire can burn down a city like that then it can be used as a war tactics. And I believe Russia is watching all of them closely.

Fire is escapable. Unless the aim is just to destroy infrastructures/ammunitions at cheaper cost, otherwise, fire is often escapable if just fire without yet some expensive super-burning fuel with it.

Baawa!

Melvis100:
My Chinese friends told me that its forbidden to teach a minor any form of religion. This is done to enable free thinking and self dependence..

Really? That's great! Imagine little children singing "I love Jesus..", a Jesus they don't even know, singing "Abraham is my father.." I really pity children, they are too vulnerable. I was one.

diver06:
Did you read " THE ISRAEL LOBBY" by John Mearsheimer?

No. What is it about? That Israel lobbies the US federal government, and perhaps exert large controls on the US? Is that it?

"Thou shall not commit adultery"
"The wages of sin is death"

The only nation that cares about Israel is Israel, and Israel shouldn't hope or depend on the absolute loyalty of any country (e.g. US) because most presidential democratic countries eventually are based on the mood swings of who's the president, and so on.

On the topic, assuming the Sachs assertion were true and the Israeli government lobbied US to intervene into Iraq, etc., were they cajoled, were they forced, or was is it not eventually 'to-the-profit' of the foreign interests of the US? Netanyahu didn't put a gun to the head of the Obama and threatened him. The US saw benefits and embarked on such missions.

For Israel, Israel needs to get stronger grip of itself in terms of politics and not be most solely in partnership with US and even partly dependent on the US at that.

Lol. Only Gd is capable of forgiveness. With retribution and justice, humans are given.

They should send them to heaven or jail to meet Gd and ask Gd for forgiveness themselves.

Security is everybody's job. The citizenry shouldn't watch as a security officer is overpowered or assaulted. Everyone should partake and condemn lawlessness and insecurity with one voice, regardless.
This rule ✊.

To wildfires : Israel is coming!

Nigeria is like a hell of insecurities. Partly decentralize security and make everyone partake? In sw, in someway, 'everyone' partakes.

These terrorists attack on public facilities and officers are way too many. 'Trying to destabilize a southern government, or something else'?

Whichever it is, the Nigeria military should be concise, carry out "Operation Flush All Terrorists" and kill them all at once. Their weapons may be advanced but I doubt the terrorists may be able to down jets at higher radars. Where the terrorists refuge are often common knowledge to every locals..

ibtommy:
No,bro. My concern us fir all of them. Don't see it that way. If my child complains about something going wrong in the school, I swing into action immediately. That's what she should have done to forestall stories like this.

The abuser had been doing that for ages, beating little children in terrible ways.
The abuser as well as all teachers had been warned against it, but she still continued. One could argue that she may be a manipulative/aggressive person that may 'destroy' her colleague's (the assaulted boy's mother) source of living if challenged about it.

The assaulted boy's mother is poor, and potentially weakened and fearful, hence, she even reported to her pastor and not even directly to her co-employer with the abuser.

Try to be realistic a little...

MadamExcellency:
And you believe her. This hardly happens, slap may not be the cause unless certified by medical extermination, this remain assumption.

That wasn't a slap. The boy was hit on the head by her hands. Guess headlines are just using the term slap for euphemism. The boy whose head is still fragile was hit repeatedly by an adult woman's hands.
