Na theft e theft, e no kill na.
Now same people crying make Nigeria no invade Niger.. say peace is needed in Africa.

He go soon upgrade to holding gun and killing. If you hand over to police, he will soon be released and become more dangerous. Better to nip him in the bud as the parents did a poor job.

Who is the Chief, or are you referring to the Mallam?

Leave Niger alone. No go fight proxy war for the west because it will be disastrous.
Imagine fighting in a French speaking country using English speaking soldiers.
How do you even read maps written in French?
The soldiers will be so conspicuous and easy to pick out.
Abeg we get plenty wahala for home.

"You see a rerun but forces are fighting it"

Which kind of "seeing" is this?
If there is a rerun you saw it.
If there is no rerun, you saw the forces fighting against it.

I think the seer is "cornfused"

By Izunna Okafor, Awka

A yet-to-be-identified middle-aged man has murdered a young lecturer working with the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State.

The incident happened on Friday night at Ifite village in Awka, the State capital.

This reporter, Izunna Okafor, gathered that the lecturer who belonged to the Psychology Department, simply identified as Chima, was murdered shortly after a brief argument with his houseboy, which led to a fight between the two.

This was corroborated by videos currently trending on the social media, which show the suspect as he confessed to have truly killed the lecturer with a pestle.

He said, “When he came back, he told me to cook rice. And as I was cooking the rice, he asked me why I did not wash plates. I did not reply him anything. And then, he further asked why I wasn't responding to his question.

“In the process, he slapped me. But I told him I usually have ears problem, and that people don't slap me. As I was saying that, he angrily asked if I was still talking while he was talking. And therefore, he slapped me again, and brought out cain and start flogging me all over.

“Then in the process, I got angry, and we started fighting. It was also in the process of that fight that I picked up the pestle in the kitchen and hit him on the head.”

The suspect also confessed to have hit Chima with the pestle up to three times before he stopped, after he had fallen on the ground, in the pool of blood.

The video also shows the deceased lying lifeless in the hospital bed, while his bereaved relatives gathered to behold and mourn him, alongside his friends and some hospital officials who we are also interrogating the suspect.

It was also gathered that while Chima's friends and the suspect were rushing him to the hospital that night for medical attention after the encounter, he (the suspect), was attempting to choke to death right inside the vehicle where he was sitting close to him.

“It was in the process that we discovered what was going on and therefore hit of his hand and started suspecting him. As that was going on also, the victim who was still alive then, used his last strength to cough out the suspect's name, before he finally gave up the ghost,” said one of the eyewitnesses.

Meanwhile, the suspect was said to have denied knowing anything about Chima's death, but eventually confessed to the crime after he was tortured by the doctor on duty at the hospital that night.

“In his confessions, he first said that it was the girlfriend of the deceased who visited him that night that attacked him. However after some more tortures, he eventually confessed that he was the person who killed Chima with pestle,” the source said.

A source close to the scene of the incident also alleged that the Abakaliki-born suspect bruised the deceased's body with knife after hitting him to unconsciousness, so as to make it appear as if he was attacked by a third party. Though the suspect denied the allegation.

All the efforts made to get the reactions of the Spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, on the matter, proved abortive, as as he was yet to respond to messages sent to him, as at the time of this publication.

Na wa o.
But what authority does a doctor have to torture a suspect instead of inviting the police?
What if the confession is borne out of the so much torture?
Anyway, RIP to the dead.

My father told me that when he was a shop-keeper in Jos in the 70s,they used to have the credit and the cash department.You could walk into many stores at any given time and buy things on credit and the shop-keepers would sell to you with the same enthusiasm as with cash buyers.
Nigerians don't take credit purchases on a friendly note.Most shops have signs that says "No credit today,come tomorrow!".Whereas credit is normal thing elsewhere.This issue is even particular to yoruba people who says that they have not had their first sale and it's rather too early in the morning.
Is it our economy system?
PS: I don't buy things on credit o.Just my observation.

Nigerians don't like paying their debt. They will be friendly while collecting the things on credit but when it's time to pay back, the seller will see war

Why won't there be scarcity when all we so is import everything and only export crude oil?
The country cannot mint dollars so we need to reduce imports and increase exports to earn it.
Until then, scarcity will continue with the attendant increase in exchange rate

Geovanni412:
Not at all, boss

I use them and I have had decent experience with them

The only issue i have with them is that I don't have direct market access

Which means each time I sell a stock, it goes straight back to my withdrawal acct ..it isn't suitable for daytrading

I don't know if they give direct market access. Would have asked of that but Nigerian market is too slow for me to bother with day trading

You have mixed up direct market access with direct cash settlement.
And yes Investment One offers direct market access upon request.

Mention one thing produced in Akwa-Ibom. Nothing

Not even crude oil?

Fingers crossed then

Nfora:
I am only responding to educate others. You are such a shameless person.

So empowering more people with N200million,irrespective of previous efforts, is not better than giving a politician N200million stolen money?

Has poverty been totally eradicated in Akwa Ibom?

The limit was only N1million,in the electoral act 2010 that covers 2014 and 2015.

I have been ignoring your invectives and outbursts but get this clear, your uncouth behaviour will not achieve anything.
I will not engage you anymore. Go and arrest the man make we see, since it is your money.
I hope you have empowered more people than the distinguished senator.

Nfora:
Very nonsensical and rubbish talk!

It seems you are a beneficiary of crook and criminal politicians. You give your last card of N200m to a politician abi?

A last card of N200million would have gone a long way in solving the poverty situation in Akwa Ibom, by empowering at least 400 Akwa Ibomites, with at least N500,000 for micro businesses.
1,000 people can still benefit for micro trading enterprises, at 200,000 each.



The electoral act 2022 is very clear:

88.—(1) Election expenses shall not exceed the sum stipulated in
subsections (2)-(7).
(2) The maximum election expenses to be incurred by a candidate at a
presidential election shall not exceed N5,000,000,000.
(3) The maximum amount of election expenses to be incurred by a
candidate in respect of governorship election shall not exceed N1,000,000,000.

election expenses to be incurred by a candidate shall not exceed N30,000,000.

commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of 1% of the amount
permitted as the limit of campaign expenditure under this Act or imprisonment
for a term not more than 12 months or both.
(10) Any individual who knowingly acts in contravention of subsection
(9) is liable on conviction to a maximum fine of N500,000 or imprisonment for
a term of nine months or both.

Was this donation in 2022? Was this law applicable when the donation was made in 2015?
A politician gave his cash to another politician. He knows and has evaluated the risk. It might be risky for one who is not a politician to do same.
As for empowering people, I'm yet to see anyone who has done more than the senator in Akwa Ibom. He can spend his money as he wishes afterall he is number one in empowerment.

Nfora:
Foolish talk.

The law does not permit N200million donation from a single person.

N200million from personal savings indeed.


only a thief would have the guts to dash somebody N200million from a hard earned salary "savings".

For you to donate N200million from you salary "savings", you must have about a billion naira as total salary "savings" .

We have a confirmed criminal as Senate president!

It is very disgusting and shameful ,that people like you, would keep on encouraging and supporting criminals and criminality.

Which law is that, that limits the amount of money that can be gifted? Can you show us the relevant sections?
About having 1B to give 200M, someone who is not a giver can never give even if he has 100B.
A giver can give his last card.
I believe you have never given someone your last card before.

Praxis758:
No Nigerian law permits any elected political officer to run a private business simultaneously with the office he’s holding, so Akpabio should explain to us the type of business that fetched him that huge amount as a sitting governor.

Such an amount could only come from kickbacks, contracts inflation and state funds.

He said the money was from his savings from when he was an MD in the telecoms sector.
He did not just become a governor from birth. He worked in other sectors before politics.
It is possible to have that amount working in the private sector depending on the industry and your level.
