Have they invited the FBI to help them apprehend Yahaya Bello?

And why wasn’t Gumi in the meeting? Gumi knows all about the insecurity in the North.

So, what is the actual outcome of this meeting??

Just audio Future collaborations?

I don’t think so. The visit is a win for Tinubu as he is extremely short on legitimacy, that he is willing to get Nigeria drunk on all the west’ poisons potions , Just so he can compensate for his lack of authenticity.

If he’s told to kill half the population for whatever agenda, he is the president to give a consent, and he does only to please the IMF and IBRD. So have been his pro-west but anti-people policies.

Ok

I believe that Nigerians will find this speech as entirely abstract from their daily struggles.

there are people that will tell you that it is democracy day, and so the president is not obliged to talk about issues concerning the daily struggles of Nigerians.

But then part of democracy is accountability and transparency, and using an inclusive language that directly empathizes and is relatable with your people and this speech is woeful in that regards.

Fuel subsidy has been removed and the dividend is not seen by the people, you still go to UCH to die because of dilapidated structures or because they don't have torch light to illuminate the room during your wife or daughter's child delivery.

This presidency has not demonstrated that he is accountable to the people or that his policies are accountable to the people. He has not responded to the needs and demands of the people, as you would find a proper democracy. When he had acknowledged your economic difficulty, he had not mentioned what the reforms are about, and we know that the reforms he has implemented has only impoverished Nigerians.

He calls for unity, but how can you unite those who see you as illegitimate when you have refused to demonstrate goodwill towards them? Only a foolhardy Nigeria will deny the evidence of voter's intimidation in the last election, or the evidence of electoral malpractices, or that they have not seen communities experience retributions because they desired to exercise their democratic rights.
Not a mention of any initiative to acknowledge the hardship you impose on them or an initiative to alleviate their situations. Yet you call for unity, as though it any matters to you.

The presidency said he has not assaulted the union's right to negotiate, but for months, the government has failed to agree a decent minimum wage, this president takes the people on his fool's ride. The agreements with ASUU iyaf not been implemented, but the government will wait for ASUU to declare a strike so that the corrupt minions can rip the Nation's commonwealth by endlessly meeting for negotiations or so that in the next democracy speech, he can say, well, I did not victimize ASUU.

Seeing this Obama wannabe speech for what it truly is, is even more terrible than being clueless about what Buhari was always rambling about while his administration looted Nigeria and Nigerians dry.

Ok

I definitely think Jagun Jagun is a better movie.

That said, I am giving your review 1/10. First, if the review is about a movie, who needs to hear about your holiday or your opinion on internet TV, or that TV is a "thief of time" or that you had your wedding at the movie location or that you personally object to depicting kissing in movies?? It adds no substance to the review.

This is on the assumption that you are in a sane country. But the whole matter is indicative that you shouldn’t expect sanity with our judiciary.

Sanusi was unjustly removed from his throne.

The corrupt political administration in Kano, however, had their plans. They saw in Emir Ado Bayero a figure who would not stand against their corrupt practices.

Emir Ado Bayero could have spoken out against the injustice faced by Emir Sanusi, but his very selection as a replacement was due to his compliance with the corrupt powers that be. They could Balkanize the kingdom of his fathers all they want, so far they give him a title.

Yes, Emir Ado Bayero is a mere puppet, and he is still being manipulated by those who placed him on the throne. I repeat, even now the puppeteers continue to pull his strings. Initially, he was willing to step aside quietly, but the Ganduje corrupt establishment emboldened him to resist, even if it meant plunging Kano into chaos and inciting violence among brothers.

But Justice must be restored, and Emir Sanusi needed to be reinstated.

But the state governor in his quest to correct one injustice, should not commit another.

Instead of deposing Emir Ado Bayero, they could have invited him to abdicate.

In doing so, Ado Bayero would retire as Emir but retain his influence and dignity, not as a subordinate to Emir Sanusi but as an Emeritus Emir, and he would be revered throughout the state and across Nigeria.

He could have welcomed Emir Sanusi back to Kano and become a legend. But Ado Bayero, I repeat, is not in the business of care for the traditional institution of Kano nor its people; his concern is solely with power. And for that, those pulling his string can continue to reign most supreme.

If the strings of Emir Sanusi were so pulled by orchestrators of chaos , hoping to benefit from anarchy. This would have been an opportunity for Mustapha to rape Esther, and for the remaining churches in Kano to be burnt and for some corrupt security officials to make their billions. But of coz, Kano is not Sokoto or Zamfara and the strings of Emir Sanusi is not easily pulled.

Portable one time e face tori of theft or e dey with some people wey accuse am so, dem comot im cloth flog am till e almost die. Dem fit even burn am alive but thank God e survive.

But now, e dey celebrated well-well, not only for Naija but even for abroad as entertainer. E don help im community and e don bring some other talented people from the slums make dem popular for Naija. If dem kill am, you fit argue say you for dey free from im wahala.

But pass just wahala, e be motivation and inspiration to plenty people.

For example, about some short years ago for Unibadan, one student wey dem accuse of theft, dem comot im cloth, march am round the school.

E no be like say na so e dey always happen, as back then, if dem catch thief, students leaders or elders for the hostel go try carry the person go safe place make dem hand am over to Abefele (school security) . Students fit even call security to avoid make everything scatter.

Last year for OAU, some students kill one of dem own (500level student) because dem accuse am say e be small thief.

So wetin happen to Timileyin no be the first time, the things wey dey happen before na normal thing for people wey dem accuse of this kind thing.

Not too long ago, for another school, dem kill one student, Deborah just because she talk say make dem no dey use educational platform for religious matter. Plenty people even support wetin dem do to her.

For Adamawa too, one former VC (Vice Chancellor) dem comot im cloth and beat am because dem think say na INEC official wey declare winner for one election. Plenty people even dey celebrate the matter for social media and mainstream media no even condemn am.

The main thing be say for society wey suppose get sense, these kind things still dey happen. If e fit happen for intellectual community like university, e fit happen for any other place for Naija.

If na for some other part of Naija like Warri, dem for fit lynch the boy alive, cut him head join, use am do Asun. e go suffer the same fate.

Another thing be say anybody fit be victim of mob action. For all these cases, shey few people get mind to intervene? Anybody fit be accused and dem go mob am based on say dem talk say e do something. Anybody fit even be accused falsely and still dem go mob am.

If you catch thief, hold am accountable, but mob justice no suppose lead to death. And we no go ever support violent mob justice. For this case, you fit argue say the intention of the students no be to kill am, dem just want show am pepper wey people dey show thief for our society.

Me wey dey talk so, I never intervene for all these kind bad things wey I don see. The way wey dem train me be say if fight dey happen, no put hand, just waka pass because some people don lose their life because dem try to make peace. Na so for jungle justice.

So, if trouble dey brew for public, just waka pass another road. If mob dey happen for my street, I go stay inside. If dem dey kill my class-boy for Awo Hall, na palé house I Dey go. But that same mob fit happen to person wey I know wella or even family member. By not calling police or school security or do anything reasonable, I don contribute to the killing of such person.

Make we change our mindset. This incident for Samuel Ajayi Crowther University no go stop another mob action for Onitsha school of Okrika. But if community leaders or school leaders dey responsible and dem dey reward people wey dey protect from mob action, e fit reduce the matter.

We need to punish people wey take law into their hand, even if the victim deserve am. For University of Ibadan, wetin stop them from punishing the students wey mob that guy? Wetin stop them from suspending them? The video Dey, di students show. That one go discourage such actions.

Make we dey quick to escalate matter to authorities if we see say mob action fit happen. During ALUU 4, some people try cast dem but police no save the day, Dey just come denge.

People wey fail for their responsibility suppose face serious consequences. For where the action happen, dem suppose get security and hostel warden. Dem suppose explain wetin happen.

School security suppose dey alert to such events. If dem talk say mob action dey happen for short time, na just to show say dem no sabi their work. Na this kind incompetence wey law enforcement and judiciary get na im mob leaders dey use to justify their actions and even recruit people to join them for murder.

Even though this one dey stop us from taking action wey go reduce the level of incidents like wetin happen to Alex Timileyin, make we get mind to participate in ensuring say humanity dey restored during times of anger.

The facts:

1. there is heightened security threat in Kano

2. the NSA has a legitimate claim in intervening.

3. the deputy governor pointed out that the threat was orchestrated by the NSA itself.

4. The NSA has denied so, but we know someone is using the institution of the state (federal might) to perpetuate the interest of specific parties in the matter.

5. If the office of the NSA didn’t weaponize the security apparatus to almost have the Kano State governor in custody, then, who did?

6. the judiciary were reckless in the judgment reinstating Emir Ado Bayero


7. Emir Sanusi and Emir Ado Bayero deserve commendations. If they didn’t exercise restraints, the emirates would not only be engulfed in crisis, Kano will be in chaos.

8. The Deputy Governor already apologized, but this will only get to the front page after it’s no longer a news.

Almighty Jah,

Give thanks and praises to di team. Africa oftentimes no have di facilities to showcase di plenty talents we have. For many, di World Cup be di only chance to shine pon di global stage. In other parts of di world, you see world-class female players who get recognized after dem play in continental football.

Inna Nigeria, for many years now, di male U-17 team and di female counterparts have struggled to move forward in major international tournaments. As a result, di whole team get overlooked, even though we have girls who could replace stars like Oshoala. If Osimhen neva win di U-17 World Cup, him might not get di opportunities dat lead him to play for di national team.

Even if dem teams no achieve success right away, we no fi abandon di players who have high potential. Dem talent must get recognition and proper nurturing to ensure dem get di opportunities dem need to excel. Dat be what we call investing in di youths, mek we no watch dem waste away again. Bless up.

Some of we people ya even a de-market di girls, callin' dem overage an' fraudulent. When we do dis to we self just fi clicks online, soon come, it will be you who get de-trusted by dem who have access to dis platform. When we reason, mek it be 'bout di betterment of we people, we nation. Even when we talk 'bout di bad, mek we no overgeneralize unnecessarily.

This is not a story about Harry or Meghan, why is our brain so slow

This is a story about Airpeace and Onyeama.

Our people too dey naive and our institutions dey fail us. Di country's media and journalism don spoil finish. I no send about di royals. Wetin concern me na di person wey don loot our nation and di financial crime agency and di media wey never even talk anything.

Call di UK press office or mass media anything you like, if you get sense, di report about di scam, fraud, and looting go shock you. I tuale for God about Onyeama naivety, because he suppose know say di royals wey come here don estranged from UK, so all their interactions go dey scrutinize.

Di main airline for di country na money laundering channel. Madness.

He no be just kidnapper; he be murderer too. Even though na only kidnapping dem convict am for, him real crimes dey far worse. As billionaire, he dey probably enjoy luxury for prison. He never show any remorse to him victims' families, nor help government identify other criminal elements wey still Dey for our roads.

The plea bargain wey he dey negotiate for himself, him no give am to him victims. He dey kill dem just coz dem no fit pay ransom.

E clear say he still dey for news, dey hurt him victims' families. Him billions still dey advocate for am from prison. Yet for Bible, Proverbs 24:24 talk say, 'Whoever says to the guilty, "You are innocent," will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.' To dis guilty murderer and kidnapper, dem don give plenty leniency, and those wey dey advocate for am go dey cursed by di victims of him crime and di victims of di criminals wey he inspire.

So this one happen 8 years ago and na now dem dey release di CCTV footage. Dis man don step on some powerful toes. First na allegations of sexual misconduct and assaults from years back, now na domestic violence. Soon, dem go even bring footage say na him shoot TuPac.

E pain me well well for di victims sha. But di shame dey for those wey don endure am despite knowing all these things. People wey you love and adore fit know say him dey abusive, say him dey sexually molest women, but because say him be big artist, dem keep quiet. Na those ones too suppose dey called out.

Dem visit no help strengthen di relationship between our country and UK, as di people wey follow dem come (Meghan and Harry too) no get any connection wit their country. So, dem no fit talk on top matter wey concern trade, defense, and cultural exchange because dem no get authority to do am.

So, wetin we gain from their visit?? E get global media attention on di couple, but where dem go when dem dey here? Dem show any fine place for di country wey fit make tourists wan come, promote our cultural heritage, and help small businesses and economy? No, dem no do am.

Dem say dey just come boost our soldiers morale. Soldiers wey no dey paid well, wey dem go lock up if dem protest when hunger wire dier head, many wounded soldiers wey dier benefits no fit even feed their children. Any advocacy for these ones? Dem bring any attention to their issues?

No!!! We just do parade of some soldiers, parading dem with smiles for his Invictus Games.

Abeg, dem no try.

election matter wey get k-leg. Na so im be? but dem, dey judge cases wey dey involve palava for election wey no follow the normal way.


Plaintiff need show say dem deny some people wey suppose vote for am as delegates the chance to vote. The evidence wey go back up this claim suppose include papers wey show say these people na delegates based on the rules, plus proof say dem try well well to collect accreditation. Just to talk say dem deny dem accreditation without proof, no go dey enough to cancel the election.

Plus, the plaintiff go still need to prove say the number of people wey dem deny accreditation plenty well well, and say e fit don do change the result of the election.

Our courts just Dey philandering about, dem no dey strict when dem dey judge election matter so dem fit protect the process well well. Judge wey suppose hear better matter, e go also waste time and money wey suppose go solve other serious problem.

the court need glasses so dem fi fit dey shine eye well well on top every case so dem fit separate the real palava from the fake ones.

You mean they are pulling out experience and capacity, to create space for relatives of your political elites.

preacherman

Don’t be miseducated by this platform.

Professionals or employees can be liable. Agents of the shareholders can be held liable. Even in Enron, a former president of McKinsey was imprisoned.
If you are a party to illegality, you are liable.

It’s ridiculous to compare this with intimidating or arresting associates of a criminal. If you work in an organization that engages in criminal activities, and you say ‘I am only a professional accountant in charge of their finance’ your professional body will withdraw your license and you will go to jail. If you are a marketer of a pharmaceutical drug that you know is dangerous and fake, you will also be culpable. You can’t just ‘I am only an employee.”

Even primary school students know this, but in a bid to diminish the effort of our regulatory agencies, people’s brains go out of service.

Of coz one has to understand the issues before solutions can be suggested.

But to assume that there is a singular cause of the problem is indicative of no appreciation of the situation.

The schools, the students, the parents, the exam body, the ministry of education, the electricity distribution company, the values we have as a country where a random skit maker who does ‘kiss or grab’ is richer than ten professors combined, the government, the media, the groups that give #10,000 to best performing students, and more than hundred million to some reality star, or millions to some instagram twerking Queen or some portable to serve as influencers. Those who have suggested that this generation of young people is some gen z nonsense and that their aspiration should be Ilebaye, the churches and mosques, the financial insecurity, the insecurity of lives, the dissatisfied lots of teachers whose earning only motivate them to show up in school and not make further efforts. And even much more.

Members of Staff can have meetings with any politician of their choice, and they do not have to inform or invite any student body.

Suggesting that they have to get permission from the student union is perhaps indicative of a defective brain.

So because the students were not informed, the student union leadership disrupted the event and assaulted members of staff.

Suggesting that the union leadership conduct in this matter is representative of the students body in the university is also indicative of a defective brain.

In other universities, where violence and cultism is not norm, in universities with vibrants students representative council, the union president would have been suspended by his fellow students (SRC) as soon as that event occurred.

It’s not just suspension of the union, the students involved should also be expelled from the institution.

So, the condemnation by the media unions was not specifically about Mr. Olatunji receiving money to publish a story. Instead, it was focused on the maltreatment of Mr. Olatunji and the inappropriate intervention of the military in what is perceived as a civil matter. The people that did this story are trying to create the impression that the media unions condemned Mr. Olatunji, which is misleading.

The characterization of Mr. Olatunji's press conference as an "outburst" and his subsequent interview with FIJ as resistance to honesty… like how does that not suggests a bias against him?? Again, this person who is probably also sponsored to portray the Chief of Staff as the victim and Mr. Olatunji as the antagonist that has peddled falsehoods and received money to tarnish the Chief of Staff's reputation- didn’t do a great job to hide their bias and intent.

So, there is mention of a written statement and confession by Mr. Olatunji, but no attribution to their sources. Is it the confessions obtained under duress while Mr. Olatunji was in the custody of the Defence Intelligence Agency or if there is another confession after his press conference- why not clarify Again, it is the former, the lack of clarity is a continuation in the biased presentation of the matter.

What for, including Mr. Rotimi Williams' contact information what context The only context or justification is that it is about them potentially subjecting him to harassment. The people who wrote this article had no valid reason for including his phone number in the article. Just some cyber harassment and cyber bullying of the individual.

That said, the possibility exist that Mr. Rotimi gave money to Mr. Olatunji as a concerned citizen interested in upholding accountability, and creating an agenda, to bring about this, but no, they want us to assume nefarious intent. Investigate journalism are oft paid for. It is the intent that is the matter. The article could suggest Mr Rotimi’s interest in the matter- is he in the service of someone who would such allegations to find another chief of staff for the presidency If this is the matter, then more reason to look at what is alleged against him.

Wouldn’t it be a more balanced perspective if statements from the Obazee investigation team exonerating the Chief of Staff from the allegations were included

If there is, and know that the chief of staff and DIA could easily obtain these, then it would be included in these poor attempt to launder images.

In Milton’s Paradise Lost, Death is the son of Satan, but the son wasn’t friendly to the father.

For my school, na so so injustice dey happen, as soon as those foreign students waka enter our class.

Naso our teachers go dey malingering for deir side, dey vamus us, dey give dem all the better better things wey we local students dey only dream of. the wakis dey arrange for dem, Like say our teachers don drink their Toto water.

From the fine fine beds for hostel to no need to do common common chores wey we dey do, dem dey treat dem like kings and queens.

As the hostel master talk say dem na "special" and dem no need to clean toilet, e clear say na just because of their skin color or where dem come from. E be like say dem send dem come here to behave well, but the teachers dey form like say dem dey fall yakata for dem, dey rush to hear tori about obodo oyinbo wey dem come from, as per dey sef wan japa and Dey bi butta for dier bread.

E no easy to see say me and my friends dey considered unworthy just because we be born for this side. But e geh why. the school dey show us say na so life be. You go bank, bank people go find chair give Chinese person, but we wey be black people, dem go just leave us dey stand. Na wetin dem dey teach us be that.

Almost, a quarter of his term and Wike is so engrossed in distracting him from administrating the state forward.

In all of these, it’s the people that bear the brunts.

The Kano fire service rescues them, while they were unconscious and drives by many hospitals- but decides to go and abandon them with the police.

The police then had to raise a draft to buy fuel in order to convey them to some hospital .

Mortuary business people give their cards to road safety officials as well as police… when they bring in dead people, the officials get a commission. Of coz, some hospitals are just morgues.

So, the police didn’t likely even think to get them to an hospital where they will get proper treatment and be resuscitated.

After hours, the police officer that could drive the police van arrived and then they took them to some mushrooms hospitals that will give them commission.

The hospital has only an auxiliary nurse on duty. There is no fuel and power. She was clueless . She used her phone torchlight in one hand, and when she saw the victims, they were stinking as they fell in a pit toilet.

It’s only hospital in name, the owner works in some inefficient government hospital somewhere. She called the Dr, but he didn’t pick.

In the room where they abandoned the three, they had put them all on the floor, because the nurse was just at heart, she didn’t think it was fair to put just one of them on the gurney.

Of coz, flies are attracted to shit. So, the flies also entered their nostrils for the shit in there.

The ones weren’t searching for phones, they were rescuers, they put their lives on the line to save another, they are heroes. But the people said they died “ontop phone” or the way the headline is put here.

Might pretend what happened with Namtira is extreme & improbable.

It isn’t.

“Seniors” in most secondary schools being entitled to be served by ‘juniors’ or utilizing corporal punishments against them is a delinquent subculture of education at the level.

“Secondary schools” engaging in street brawls because of a girl or some football game too.

The issue now is it involves the daughter of some influential Nigerians. wheelchair too.

Even Namtira might have been on the other side of the coin, maybe as the boy, being uninvolved or as the perpetrator.

It’s enough punishment that their face now represents bullying in Nigerian schools, when they have only engaged in what is norm in most schools.

on your way, are injustices you observed
but never intervened. In the hospitals, in the churches, with our law enforcement, the poor bullies the feeble, the rich oppresses, Burnaboy and Seun Kuti brandishes guns and sometimes shoot strangers or assault even officers of the law.

Yet, it is these young ones we must lynch. Young ones that have been failed by their schools, families and society. The school that won’t institute deterrent actions that could adequately protect students, because a child of a senator is involved. A society that thinks the boy who is merely a witness and uninvolved deserves to be castrated.

The boy is not a bully, maybe he is a coward. Or maybe he is a bully. But it’s bullying to use this incident to condemn him as a bully.

The coroner’s additional comment or advice to parents - indicted Oromoni’s parents. They not only suffer the loss of a child, they are further inflicted with notions that they are responsible for the loss by being irresponsible parents.

Again. Not possible with Wole Olanipekun.

Falana wins public opinion and even now, he sways it by pointing out injustice in the verdict. He will do media round and increase his social capital. Oromoni parents would not only regret their inability to get some closure or get an iota of justice, they would have to continue their existence as prime examples of neglectful or careless parenting.

The manager of the place should also be fired. And EFCC should audit their books.

He wanted to be president so he could cover all these up.

How di Imam take get access to dem both?

So Nairamarley invite di Imam go dia house and den di Imam, wey wan do some social media thingy, come decide to do stunt. Na so e dey increase im own popularity.

Dis one na like say e dey dance on top of Mohbad’s grave and e dey try use di dead man make e become famous Imam too.
