TheRareGem1: I'm sure you are not even aware the PRESIDENT has spoken...what the VP is doing is to reiterate the commitment of his boss, Mr. P to ensuring the safety of lives and property of Nigerians is achievable.
**Adds: Our hearts go to families, loved ones of those killed
The Buhari administration will not relent but will do all it takes, including putting news ideas on the table in order to secure the country according to Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
The Vice President is on a one-day official visit to Nasarawa State today and was accosted by reporters on his arrival in Lafia after he was received by Governor Abdullahi A. Sule.
Below is the verbatim report of the Vice President's response to the media:
As the President said, these group of people have acted insanely in such a dastardly manner, killing innocent people, people who had gone to their farms to work.
I spoke to the Governor, Governor Babagana Zulum and the former Governor, Senator Kashim Shettima to express my condolence, but more importantly, to try and think through ways of dealing with this kind of random attacks.
It’s important to understand also that we will probably need to keep reviewing the conventional means of dealing with some of these issues, these security challenges, especially the randomness.
Which is why the President has said that he is taking a serious look at how to deal with the issues, especially the randomness: some insane person goes into a place and shoots people, that is not the sort of thing that you are prepared for conventionally.
We have to do a lot more local intelligence and some of the community policing efforts we are planning on, so that information is supplied faster, especially at the local level and then a reaction will then be possible.
It is a major tragedy; it’s a very unfortunate thing and our hearts are with the family of those who were killed in such a terrible manner.
We are very confident and the Federal Government will continue to do what it needs to do especially in terms of trying to ensure security in the Northeast and all over Nigeria.
You’ve heard the President and what he has to say, especially some of the new ideas around security and the security architecture which we are trying to put in place. We will get there.

Prof osunbade speak for yourself. Allow Buhari to say his mind too. This has caused tears above all things
Hahahahah...... Chaiiiiii... This country ooo. Yahaya Bello under pressure to run? To run where? Who dey pursue am? In another news, that commissioner is confused!
Kingdemu: At least 44 rice farmers were killed by suspected members of the Boko Haram while harvesting their crops, a lawmaker and sources have said. Sources in Zabarmari, a Borno community known for rice farming, informed PREMIUM TIMES the farmers were attacked as they were working on a rice field at Garin Kwashebe. The farmers were attacked on Saturday as residents of the state were voting to elect local government council officials, for the first time in 13 years.
The sources said the farmers “were rounded up and summarily slaughtered by the armed insurgents”.
Hassan Zabarmari, a former chairman of a rice farmers association in Borno State, confirmed the incident to PREMIUM TIMES on phone. “It was a sad incident that took place at about 11 a.m today,” he said Saturday. “The farmers were attacked at the Garin-Kwashebe rice field, and according to reports reaching us since afternoon, about 40 of them were killed.”
“But we have been receiving conflicting information on the casualty figures – some said it was up to 50 farmers that were slaughtered.” A member of House Representatives, Ahmed Satomi, who represents Jere federal constituency also confirmed the incident in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES.
“It was a very sad development that happened today at Zabarmari rice field general area,” he said.
This government has failed in virtually every thing. Biko haram now kill with federal pardon in their minds, with reintegration and scholarships to study abroad in view. In economy two recessions in 5years The place I use to pay 2,200 naira as transportation fare before this government came into power, sadly I paid 6,700 yesterday. Everything they met have been destroyed. Even biscuit use to be 5 naira with five pieces inside it but today it three pieces inside at 10 naira.... The list goes on....

Arochukwu indigenes comprising majorly youths on Saturday blocked convoy of Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu on his way to Arochukwu and presented him with different food items including livestocks in appreciation to his road projects in Arochukwu .
IGBERE TV reports that Senator Kalu who was on his way to attend his party's (APC) programme to receive some decampees from the people's democratic party (PDP) and All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) into the All Progressive's Congress (APC) made the brief stop as a result of the indigenes who got wind of the news that Senator Kalu's convoy was passing through their community.
The indigenes immediately mobilized and lined up along the road in their thousands , which made Senator Kalu to make the stop and acknowledge their cheers. Driven by the excitement the indigenes who are predominantly farmers presented food items and a livestock to Senator Kalu as an expression of their gratitude.

I sorry for this payed mob. Which road project are they talking about? I actually traveled through that road today and I almost threw up because of pot holes. Bad road is the quickest way to know that you have reach the East when travelling.
Always dodging responsibility when it matters the most. Can you imagine what NBC will say when those blood sucking demons start killing for black Friday....
ufotty2001: Hello Friends! Have come to realized that girls above 30yrs are so Matured in relationship, well behaved and organized infact they make relationship workout for better of both of you.. they always look good and ready to follow up with you despite your flaws etc ..
What's do you really think..? Do you guys have similar experience
Among other reasons advanced by others, one more reason is at 30 and above they have almost seen it all. The immaturity of a little girl curious about life and at the same time behaving like she knows it all has disappeared. At that age experience has taught her the better values of life. That is why when I wanted to marry, I went for my age mate. By the grace of God, it has speared me a lot of nonsenses and headaches
drinoayo: Ban On 'Black Friday' By Kano Hisbah Is A Disgrace — Aisha Yesufu
Co-convener of Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) campaign Aisha Yesufu has knocked Kano State Hisbah Board over its letter written to a radio station in the state 96.9 Cool FM, directing it not to use the term ‘Black Friday’ anymore, Igbere TV reports.
Many on social media have mocked the board over the error-filled letter which has been shared severally on social media.
In her reaction, Mrs Yesufu argued that Black Friday is related to giving because goods are sold at discounted prices, adding that Islam preaches giving.
Black Friday is an informal name for the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. The term is used worldwide to mean a day for promotional sales where goods are sold at discounted prices.
They are always looking for avenue to share innocent blood. Before you know they will say the broadcaster has blasphemed by using the word black Friday. Blood sucking demons!
envoymedia: Media personality Emma Ugolee, whose kidneys failed about 10 years ago, took to Instagram to recount his journey while expressing gratitude that he survived what has killed many people, IgbereTV reports.
He explained that he has had 22 surgeries and one failed transplant since both kidneys failed. He has also had to endure 1, 296 sessions of dialysis and four 911 rides. Yet, he's still standing.
Sharing a photo of himself with tubes sticking out of his body and another photo of him smiling, he wrote:
Jones4190: APC = PDP, Prove ? ANSWER Since we know they are both parties, The 2nd "P" in PDP is a constant and so may not be included in the equation. OR we may as well say APC"P" = PD"P" "P" = Party Divide both sides of the equation by the constant "P". Resulting in APC = PD This means that if A+P+C = x, Also P+D must be equal to x Meaning A+P+C = P+D Using the alphabet A -Z numbers, whereby A = 1 and Z=26 Substituting letters with their corresponding numbers. A,P,C = 1,16,3 P,D= 16,4 A+P+C = 1+16+3 = 20 P+D= 16+4 = 20 Therefore APC = PDP
Saao: Country in recession and serious security challenges in the north where the useless idiot came from, only thing in his mind is defection. Is defection from pdp to apc or from apc to pdp new to us. The only new thing to us is the two recessions within 5 years and the country is the capital of extreme poverty in the world.

chronology: "Love is like a rock,easy to come by,hard to crack" Love binds two souls together, today I came across a picture of a beautiful couple on social media, the picture was a wedding photo of two young couples alongside the picture they took together while in secondary school.
The picture drew a lot of attention from media users,as they could not help but congratulate the couple. But amidst all congratulatory messages, I drew a very important moral lesson from that picture,the lesson is not far from the test of time in relationships. Yes,gold and silver are tested in fire to make them look as attractive as they look,so too a good relationship should stand the test of time.
The couple above kept faithful to each other right from their secondary school days up to the moment they got married, but the question in today's relationships is can they stand the test of time? Can they still keep faithful and wait?
But anyways, the best thing to do is to always put our future spouses in prayers,that God in His infinite mercy would grant them the ability to wait for us as well as grant us that same grace to able to wait for ours,this is because, very few people are lucky to find their better halves early in life, and the above couple are a wonderful example.
Congratulations to them. Please check my signature!

jaybenugo: Charly Boy Apologizes To His Daughter For Maltreating Her Because She Is Lesbian
Charley Boy, aka Area Fada, has written an open letter to apologize to his daughter for the way he treated her after she came out as a lesbian, IgbereTV reports.
Charly Boy had shared a post last week, saying he's proud to have a lesbian daughter and he supports her completely. But his daughter, Dewy Oputa hit back, stating that her father doesn't pick her calls and she was rendered homeless after she publicized her sexuality. She accused her dad of using her to chase clout as father of the year online, while caring nothing about her in real life.
Charly Boy has now responded. He said he was amused by his daughter's public condemnation because it's the same way he and his father - former Supreme Court justice Chukwudifu Oputa - butted heads before he was able to be independent.
"Lion no fit born goat, " he added.
He asked Dewy to forgive him and promised to allow her tell her story and to respect her perspectives.
busky007: The high rate of cultism in Rivers, Delta ,Edo ,Lagos and Benue is very alarming. A cultist is the most foolish of any living being : No goal, No gain , No future. At least terrorist fight for their God with the hope of 72 virgins but this "wida you" [/b]fools are on a different level in human stupidity spectrum. There is no law against Cultism in the constitution because the thieves called politician use them for their purposes. Even before Enfsars protest, if you see the caliber of weapons this cultist use , you go fear
Nigerian Universities need to act like people who are headed by intellectuals. They should start fighting this cultist and stop paying them.
CNN has released a second report with videos showing soldiers shooting at unarmed protesters on October 20, 2020 at Lekki Tollgate. The CNN new report also shows protesters running as soldiers open fire at the tollgate.
The fresh report also shows Brig.Gen Ahmed Taiwo admitting before the judicial panel in Lagos that his men took live ammunition to the tollgate. It also shows that Brig.Gen Taiwo’s claim is at variance with information minister, Lai Mohammed's claim that the army fired blank bullets.

IamD18: Bride price is bride price regardless of how much you spent. The fact remains that you paid something.
You people should allow Igbos with their traditions. Face yours.
You don't expect Igbos to behave like a particular tribe that accepts 2 cups of red oil and Cameroon pepper of 230 Naira as bride price.
You don't expect Igbos to behave like some tribes where the man will have to take 100+ strokes of cane as bride price.
There are levels to qualities and standard in everything. Igbo women are standard, that's why people leave their tribes where you can marry with just pepper and oil, come down to Igbo land to spend more than half of a million for bride price.
Adaeze and Achalugo nwanyi oma is different from Nwanyi ofe mmanu! The quality is the difference and the difference is the quality.
Keep living in denial. I hope you don't force to say what I don't want to break here?
mfm04622: 1. Nigeria imports PMS. That is a given fact. 2. What dies it matter where we import from? Why the noise when we are to import from Niger? What is the difference from importing through seaports and importing from Niger? I need someone to explain this as I don't understand it at all
The problem is someone with one refinery and the one four who should import from who?
