In the land of the blind the one eyed man is King.......

What a world. Lagos has not been this dirty since the era of before BRF. Refuse collectors have not been doing their jobs for months. All of Lagos, every road every household is affected.

The governor and his commissioners have been incredibly blind to and silent about this.

Rain keeps compounding the issue by washing dirt all over Lagos. And further blocking the drainages.


And yes the waste collectors will still bring their bills as if it's their God given right.

Go outside right now and see overfilled bins in front of houses.

People who are now trying to save their health from rat infestations are now being advised to NOT PATRONISE LOCAL VENDORS.......


PLEASE SEND PICTURES OF REFUSE TO THIS COMMISSIONER SO HE CAN DO HIS JOB!

And that is how they choose to divide people for their own personal gain. Stomach infrastructure.

Well we are not a people divided and we do have sense. We have eyes. We see how the people suffer while you carry on in a 20 car entourage because you fear death.


Carry your PVC and vote wisely.




Scare tactics and rubbish talk or foolish election time spending be damned.

Saving it for 2nd term, when you will see true colours......

Vivid colours!!!!!

Remove clothing's and take clear HD pictures with white background.

Dead or alive. Let the world know their profiles . You just might save a life.

People need to know to protect themselves. Why do you keep shielding them??

Thanking God and all the brave service men involved in this.

Please release the kidnappers names and profiles ( dead or alive).


Let them be identified , let all their connections be established. Let us know who these people are.

Begining to think he just wants to trend and is seeking attention at this point.

What signifies repentance? So after kidnapping, killing and raping for years, when caught you cann then claim repentance and then tax payers should then feed and clothe you while you are in jail or free while still being a threat or menace to society.

Where is the deterrent Where is the justice for the victims? How do we stop this persistent threat and violation to lives ( the most sacred of God's creation)?

It's important for the governor to provide not just reliefs for those rescued but also intensive physical and mental therapy .

That was a scary event and may it not scar those kids for life.

Take your flowers sir and the entire team for this successful rescue.

May God be with you and all the dedicated service men who continue to protect Nigerian lives and property.

I thank you. Nigerians thanks you.

To know who they are and where they come from is key....

It is important to track their households, communities and know they get into the trade of banditry.

They have families, links that will help solve this problem. They buy weapons. Sustain a good life where they spend the money from banditry.....

True so true......

But the politician's convoy is getting bigger and bigger......


More police more cars to follow VIPs about.

Everybody should just vote wisely.


Cos they are more concerned about the coming elections than the children and citizens of the nation.....

The silence from OUR LEADERS is too LOUD!!!!

Which body of water in Sokoto

What type of boat That would take 150 people and on which body of water??


Such mass casualties would generate a high number of witnesses and or evidences.

Who is responsible for writing this piece

Unfortunately, calenders do not create wars....

Power hungry human beings? who take human lives as pure commodities to feed their greed for immense wealth are the cause of war...

Egoistical maniacs who persistently attack nations that own oil resources and seek to control other sovereign countries resources through lies and propaganda are the cause of wars...

People whose only expertise are weapons, war mongering and deception......

Those pupils are at risk.

It would be better to let them in and then punish defaulters than to expose them like that.

If anything happens to them, the school may face penalities .

And their parents are not around.

When you forget that you are a producer and should not be an importer.....


How can a producer be talking about effects of importation on its own domestically produced goods....

Who exactly talk this thing first.

Well whatever he did.....

You've just endangered his life by releasing his picture and/ or name.


Yes he may be have been zealous in providing information. But militants may target him and we already have a fragile history of tribalism which we have to handle carefully.

400% of salary is 66k meaning she earned about 15k pounds in 11 months and about 1.1k pounds per month.

How is the charge sheet done: is it per client ( did she charge maybe 4hours for about 7 clients) and counting her ability to multitask and get things done on time .

These details are missing .

But why would you withhold her bonus entirely. At least pay her the rate you feel is normal and then sanction her. But not paying her at all

Finally, let us know how many clients she serviced and how much she should have charged, then do the same for the whole organization. People who do this often do this because some slackers get paid almost as much when they do all the work.


Note: I'm not supporting it: but it's just some workplace psychology that people use to defend things they do.

There are rules for hajj. And I believe one of the rules is that you should be capable to pay for it and for your family you left at home to be well catered for. Not sure you can use loans.....

But even without that is that the next thing for any government??

The government keeps sending people on pilgrimage to Saudi and to Jerusalem yearly despite it's high debt and poor economic indices.

Are you saying that as the owner of your staff....

You assigned your staff somewhere and he is not there

But he is receiving full salary and benefits??.


How will an officer that should be at a particular barracks on specified duties still be guarding a private citizen.


Are you saying you don't where your staff is and what they are doing?

Just removing VIP security details .......



And like lighting they know how to articulate the security risks of the country.



Soon they will find solution to the issue.

Proper funding, management and structure so they know their jobs.

Evidence gathering trainings etc. technology and improved logistics

Highway patrols, Forest Marshalls. Etc are also needed.

It's not just to approve state police. Even the federal police, many don't have database , records , etc

I can never pass that building and not stare or try to take pictures...

Such beauty such history such legacy what a piece of architecture...


Love it too much.

Who is in charge of the investigation

Who is in charge of the different states' investigation

What has been done so far in this investigation?

Remember that many of these people never wanted education for the people....

And this will affect the pupils more than the leaders.....

Withhold or cancel the federal allocation to any affected states and maybe we might actually start getting ideas on how to solve these issues...

The objective has always been money, kidnapping and terrorism for profit....


- heavily penalise those caught in these activities
- deploy technology and fund counterterrorism.

Was that the same response when the presidency was threatened?

Cancelled Independence day celebration
Quickly caught coul plotters
Quickly changed and approved top military officers.


All for unconfirmed rumoured coup. But Nigerian citizens are dying everyday. Sincerely the situation is disheartening and calls for better resolution than we've had so far.

Just shows how in a second we all could lose it all.......

All lives matter. We all have seen pictures and videos of killed Muslims and Christians......


But this sudden agenda to not fight the terror but to divide the country and to kill all its members, because we have seen how they have "helped" other oil producing countries..

To be so open as to wish further harm on a country without bringing any sort of solution.

No counter terrorism expertise or support but to openly declare war on a SOVEREIGN nation shows their intent.

What a beautiful parable. OP

The wheat and tares receives the same nourishment ( food, light, air) until it gets to the harvest time when each will know its fate.


Just like on earth where God has promised respite for a time and has given man (food children wealth ) without bias for a time appointed ( harvest) and then every man will know his/her fate based on whether they have been good (wheat) and can enter the barn ( heaven).

So judge not by the provisions given to men in this world. But judge them by their actions and deeds.

Nigerians love to celebrate jare.....


They will brag that they are world record rice.


Enjoy!!!!!!

Hmmm !!!!!!!!!

When you think on what would drive such confidence. ........

The most difficult task is for who did it first and I am unwilling to detract from her success.


I would have wanted the OP to show alternatives - it's always easy to identify problems but try and show us possible solution.

It was a huge task, not sure of available logistics and the need to have access to the pots etc. But subsequently will be improved upon.

Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola created digital IDs and attendance tracking system at this same LASUTH. With a fully equipped IT department.

Y can't you give your corpers IDs valid for a year, track attendance time in and out and even sign off digitally .

What is 12 copies per month for clearance... Can't count what will be wasted with this kind of request in this century.

DrRasheed:
This is authoritarianism masquerading as diplomacy. The U.S. government didn’t revoke Bob Vylan’s visa because of "hate speech"—they did it because the band dared to say what millions of people around the world, including within America, are screaming at the top of their lungs: Israel is slaughtering Palestinians, and the U.S. is funding every bomb, every bullet, every massacre.

Let’s stop pretending this is about “antisemitism.” This is about power, money, and the bloodlust of an apartheid regime that the American political class continues to shield—no matter how many civilians it incinerates. The chant was “Death to the IDF,” the same military machine currently carpet-bombing Gaza, executing children, bulldozing homes, and starving an entire population. That’s not hate speech—it’s rage at a genocidal war machine.

And let’s talk about the real disgrace: the U.S. government. A government so far up Israel’s spine it can’t even pretend to represent its own citizens. Americans have taken to the streets, filled college campuses, occupied city halls—not just in protest but in raw desperation—pleading with their so-called leaders to stop arming genocide. And what does the State Department do? Cancel a punk band’s visa. Cowards.

This isn't about safety. This isn't about protecting democracy. This is fascism—plain and unfiltered. Silencing artists while funding a military that drops U.S.-made 2,000-pound bombs on refugee camps is not democracy. It’s violent imperialist hypocrisy. The U.S. doesn't just ignore public outcry—it crushes it, demonizes it, and punishes those who give it a mic.

Warren Stephens calling the chants antisemitic is laughable. The real disgrace is standing by a state that’s turned Gaza into an open-air graveyard and then crying “hate speech” when people finally say enough. It’s not antisemitic to call out war crimes. It is evil to defend them.

Bob Vylan spoke truth. The U.S. government is showing us—again—that truth is what they fear most. And as for those officials backing Israel despite the outcry of their own people: you’re not leaders. You’re enablers of mass murder. History won’t forget. And neither will we.

You are quite articulate and have said it all.

So many people have seen the atrocities committed and yet?

Sort of agree with the OP.

Yes calm down heal and then go into a new relationship healed.

Some carry the blame from old relationships to new ones - creating conflicts and judgements that may not even be true of the new relationship.

Yes you thrive on love and you may have a lot of love to give but heal, forgive, mend your spirit soul heart and body before trying for a new one .
