Lol I thought some persons said it is a sponsored propaganda by Tinubu

I still don't understand what is special about GRV wife that Tinubu will be sponsoring a propaganda against?
It has nothing to do with Tinubu or APC , most Nigerians don't just like paying their DEBTS unless you go hard on them.

I used to run a business back home in Nigeria and I can't count the number of times I had to practically beg people to pay me my own money. Even Nigerians that are rich can be owing you as low as #80,000.

You are a half baked educational slowpoke. What was the appointment for if not to turn around the economic woes Nigeria is currently experiencing. Your ilks are the ones currently supporting Tinubu, yet were quickly to judge GEJ because of ethnic coloration!
You just argue based on emotion, not facts.
This look like one SS-3 guy who became very angry with his father for relocation of the Family from a Duplex at NNPC Quaters at Asokoro to a Bungalow at Suleja after the Father retired from the NNPC. The guy who grew-up living in NNPC Senior Staff Quarters had taking it for granted that that is their 'level' and didn't recognized the fact that their status changed when the Father ceased to be an employee of NNPC and yet to face the realities of their 'real level'

You fail to address the essence of this post which is the incompetency of cardoso

And as usual you have turned it into ethnic bashing thing.... for how long are you going to continue doing this?

Which universal law are you talking about and which region are you referring to... Start by mentioning your own region
First, you need to understand the roles and functions of the CBN, before assessing whther they have done well or not in these duties.

most Nigerians were born into and grew up with the system in which the CBN uses the Foreign reserve to artificially fix the exchange rate (often with multiple exchange rates e.g #450= $1 for Hajj travellers, #520= $1 for international students, #530=41 for Petrol marketers etc) . This is not the core mandate of the CBN ,more over, such policy is no longer sustainable.
Another problem of this artificial exchange rates is that those who got it at a cheaper rate always go back to re-sell it at the black markets at exorbitant prices which further worsen the crisis.

The CBN has autonomy on it's functions and can designate some of it's offices anywhere for specific purposes. The CBN banking regulations department is NOT the same as the Headquarters of the CBN.

Ofodirinwa:
The church gives the colonists the authority to colonize, the compromise is the colonist have to allow them to build churches to generate revenue and followers of the church. The Pope was the original UN, so it's equivalent of today's UN recognizing or not recognizing a state of a claim. I don't know if you're aware of the Catholic Church signing a doctrine that deemed blacks and non-christians were sub human, and therefore any crime committed against them is not technically a crime. This is what legitimized and truly launched the slave trade. This is why, no matter what country is colonizing, the Catholic church can have access to all colonies. England is not Catholic

Great post anyways. You're correct
The Colonialists didn't need anybody approval to carry out their mission. The came to exploit the land and they succeeded.

BitterTruth0001:
You’re missing my point
That hospital and all the other good things could’ve been done through the colonial government , not the church.
Read my first post on this thread. Why were the good benefits like hospitals , schools etc packaged through the church instead of the government if not that it was intended to separate us from our traditional religion and culture

They knew very well that it was not religion that transformed their own societies so why did they sell that idea to us ?
The Colonial Government came to Africa to do business and reap profits for themselves and home country.
The little achievements they made were things that were necessary for their objectives.

Long before British colonialism commenced, different Europeans had been interacting with different tribes in Nigeria as traders and Missionaries.

In 1859, CMS Grammar School, Lagos was established by the Church Missionary Society under the leadership of the Rev Barbinton Macaulay (the son-in-law of Bishop Ajayi Crowther and father of Herbert Macaulay). Several Schools and Hospitals were established by the Missionaries long before Formal colonialism started in 1900.

Dangote got all the federal government support, but the same government will use him to inflict suffering on Nigerians by pecking the price high.

Things that S/Africans will set the company ablaze. Nigerians will go to church to pray for God to touch these corrupt people's heart.
Can you and your friends construct a small refinery that can be supplying petrol to Bayelsa State at #200 per litre? Nigeria will be forever grateful to you.

Oga, they should decentralise this country.

Every organisation shouldn't have its headquarters in Lagos and you don't expect a chaos. Lagos is already a hellhole. People waste productive time in traffic and complain bitterly, but they can do nothing about it.

If we had a serious government, they will ask organisations to strategically move their headquarters across regions in the country and enjoy massive government support. This is how America spread its wealth, and not concentrate it around one state.
Yeah, this is the reason, the Jonathan's administration constructed the Standard Guage Rail from Abuja to Kaduna, where the Nigerian Defence Academy and other major military installations are situated plus a Refinery.

The National Institute for Strategic Studues and Vetinary Centre are situated in Jos,Plateau State.

About 80% of all crimes are motivated by monetary rewards and if Gov't track the flow of monies in Nigeria, so many criminal gangs will be discovered without firing a shot. There are many computer softwares that can study and analysize financial transactions in every State in the last six months and you will see the pattern starring at you with koro-koro eyes.

The kidnappers won't eat the money, they will spend them. We can track the the flow of money into every account, study the pattern and the people behind these accounts. We can get their addresses, all companies and transactions linked to them can be traced. Illegal activities always leave cues.

nairalanda1:
Them Kidnappers are not using their phones, they are using the victim's phones.

In such a case NIN won't help.

NIN linkage was meant to work if the kidnapper used their own phone for communication. Most kidnappers bypass that by using the victim's phone, or in areas near the border, using phones of non Nigerian GSM companies.

Tracking the phone can be done sans NIN...but the problem is, the kidnapper making the call may not be in the same area as the victims. Also, some areas do not have network. Tracking won't work.
Even if they are using the victim's phone, the calls can be tracked to a particular location and they can be fished out.

The REAL issue is that there are some people sympathetic to the Bandits and the FG, for whatever reason is unwilling to arrest these people.

If these Bandits move across the border to Niger Rep and try these madness, they will be arrested and killed within one month because the environment is not receptive to their activities.

Thanks for this, this is exactly my fear, the terrorists are more sophisticated than we think and the military need to up their game and be wary of their antics.
I strongly believe they are sponsored by some foreign eliment who supplies them with weapon.
Im positive that with the combined effort of the airforce and military we will surely defeat the terrorist.
Drone will play a major role in the fight against terrorist and the earlier we start using the better for us.

I also wish our bother isn't this porous, our aviation have full control of the airspace and the custom have control over every item shipped into this country.😕
The terrorists are NOT more sophisticated than Nigerian Military but they have backers, supporters and sympathizers withing the Military

Have you ever wondered why these terrorists don't extend their operation across the borders to Togo and Benin Republic, which are poorer countries with weaker security agencies than Nigeria?

They know that they have no supporters there and would be dealt with there.

Solution:

1) State Police: each State should protect itself

2) FG should engage Military Contractors/Mercenaries from North Korea (who are neither Christian nor Muslims nor Jewish and will not be easy to be blackmailed with religious bigotry) to flush out the Terrorists. Nigerian Military is too compromised.

Not only owning a ship, building one too. I do watch on Discovery ID how most Singapore companies build those extremely mighty ship and I can't just help but marvel.

I saw one documentary how Palm oil is being shipped from Malaysia, the risk navigating the sea and all the technology involved. Forget it, we still have a very long way to go as a country.

Besides, if someone from Nigeria owned ship with such capacity, what would he be shipping with it? Maybe register with NNPC to be shipping crude oil?
Nigeria used to have Nigeria National shipping Line (NNSL) which had 32 ships in 1979 but was mismanaged with monumental corruption such that by 1995, Abacha had to liquidate the company.

Let me say this here ,the police don’t have so much intelligence to get this criminals because people have lost faith in the police ,the criminals know this too and that’s why they are not even afraid ,the people that kidnapped this girls and are demanding this huge ransom are not ordinary kidnappers,they are terrorist and am sure this money they collect are being used to buy more arms and more equipments for there mission ,this terrorist don’t care about life and so the money is the only thing they care about ,they are monsters and no conscience and I pray the kids come back safe ,

Nigerians are smart people and every initiative to put on the table to tackle insecurity becomes fruitless because they will always find a way to Maneuver it ,you say police should track the call by gps ,it’s obvious the person calling might not even be with the victims and is moving from one place to another ,you say they should track by nin,they use victims numbers to make call ,

The police doesn’t have much intelligence and that’s the problem ,no cameras ,nobody is ready to report anything he or she observed ,it will surprise you that this people are being held in one neighborhood like that and people wil know that something is not really going fine but they won’t bother to go to the police because people have lost faith in police ..people have lost faith in police so it makes it harder this time
Every call can be tracked and triangulated to know the location where the calls are coming from.

The real problem: the bandits/terrorists have members in the security agencies collaborating with them on the ground of religious, regional or ethnic solidarity.

Togo and Benin Republic are small countries with weaker security agencies but these Banduts/Terrorists can't operate there because they will be dealt with without powerful Sheiks/Emits pulling the strings to protect them

The male black slaves were often castrated while the female black slaves worked and also served as concubines to the Arab Patriachs thus, about 10% of the Saudi Arabians have African DNA through these old female slaves.
I have met many black Saudi Arabians that could pass as Fulanis or Somalis

How is that your business?
If Igbos could be locking horns against a major ethnic group like the Yorubas over the control of Lagos, in Yorubaland, the minorities knew what could have befallen them in Biafra in which Igbo would have been the sole major tribe.

When an Adamu and Ibrahim is interested in the disagreement between brothers who speak the same language, know it that it specifically for his own good and not for either of them.
The question is this; why do non-Biafrans i.e those who have no business with Biafra concern themselves with those who will be part of it or not? Why are these same people silent on the killings of their fellow Nigerians from their own territory in northern Nigeria? They actually love the ethnic cleansing happening there but will fake to love any ethnic group in Eastern region who disclaims Biafra. They want a dead Nigeria with daily bloodshed to continue but hate to hear about Biafra who have been wanting to stay on their own to build a great country for all those within her.
Just think about it.
Biafra is part of Nigerian History and people from different Nigerian tribes died in the Biafran civil war.

Thus, ANY Nigerian can discus about Biafra


My Step-mum once recalled in a most emotional tone that shortly after the death of their father, three of her younger brothers joined the Military and were posted to fight in the Biafran civil war.

One was never seen again, one returned home and was discharged from the Army with a disability while one returned home as a decorated soldier and eventually became a Military Governor of Lagos State.

Atthairu, Ewang, Adeyemi, Ossai, Martins, Mshellia , Okonkwo, Ado, Uche and several other Nigerians from all sides died in the Biafran War.
