It was a mistake for Spain to hold on to territories on mainland Africa.
Those territories should have been allowed to become independent, or handed over to Morocco.

Hmm!
I thought the headline meant something else.

The report referred to those who carried out the attack as terrorists, but the headline downplayed the issue and called them "bandits".

The name of the police officer, now a traditional ruler, was not mentioned in the report.

Extra state creation, in any part of the country, should not be contemplated for now.

This is a harsh decision.
From the report, it appears as if the issue is more about technicalities than on any problem with the pharmaceutical products.

Federal Government borrowing was approved by the Senate, so what is this "serious concern" by the senator about?

The World Bank is just a lending institution, whose goal is to cripple the economy of non-Western nations.
The World is not an expert on Nigeria's economic affairs.

What happens if the United States company terminates the employment of the foreign professional?
Will the professional be deported?

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is just a lending institution. It is not an expert on Nigeria's economic affairs.
Why is IMF matter coming up on the front page almost everyday?

Government approval to study abroad, even if sponsorship is private, is not right.
It is like trying to impose an "exit visa" on the citizens.

If Chris Brown is not happy with the ruling, he can appeal.

Jungle is a derogatory colonialist word, which is used for a forest in the tropical regions in general, and in Africa in particular.
As stated in the description, the word "jungle" cannot be used for a forest in the temperate regions, no matter how such a forest looks like.
What can we do?
We may simply call every forest a "forest".

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) should stop poking its nose into Nigeria's economic affairs.
The IMF is just a lending institution, whose goal is to cripple the economy of non-Western nations.
By the way, why is IMF matter coming up on the front page almost everyday?

"... and even cooking inside medicine shops."

This is a sledgehammer approach that doesn't even kill the fly.
As has been suggested on this thread, this is just an excuse for land grabbing.

The examples of the traditional attire and jewelry shown in the pictures would cost more than the grand prize of ₦250,000.

Upon the number of terrorist attacks and abductions in one week, the report did not state that any arrests have been made, or that any of the terrorists were neutralized.
However, in the report, the analyst criticized the reintegration of repentant terrorists into society.
It is obvious that several government officials have a hand in the terrorist attacks.

This is just a theory:

In early 1998, it had been determined that for Nigeria to move on, two persons had to be put aside.

Abacha died on 8 June 1998.

There was a soft spot for Abiola.
It would have been convenient for Abiola to be out of the way; that is, for him to drop any claims on becoming president.

When Abdulsalami Abubakar became Head of State, he initially declared 7 days mourning; the next day, it was increased to 30 days.

The extension to 30 days was to give time for Abiola to make a decision.
The Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyaoku and the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan both (probably at different times) paid a visit to Abiola . The purpose of each visit was to convince Abiola to drop his claims.

On 6 July 1998, Abiola (still in detention) was asked about his stand on his claim to become president. He sought advice from his closest (political) associates.
Abiola did not relinquish his claim. He died the next day (7 July 1998), which happened to be the last day of the 30-day mourning period.
Was this just a coincidence?

A public holiday for democracy is not necessary.

If a spitting cobra sends its saliva to a person's face, and that person's eyes become compromised, would you say that the cobra's saliva is venomous or poisonous?

The federal government should stop external borrowing.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) should stop poking its nose into Nigeria's economic decisions.
What the IMF is saying is, "Don't take loans from them, take loans from us."
However, all external loans should stop, regardless of the lending institution.

Why does the United States have the lion's share?

This does not look as if the plane had a fault.
It appears deliberate.

Tramadol, pentazocine injection, Rohypnol, and codeine-based cough syrup are not illicit drugs. They have their uses.
