PoliticsRe: 30 Killed In Fresh Attacks On Benue Communities by panpan(m): 9:16am On Nov 26, 2024
There is definitely a foreign or international group sponsoring the attacks of rural communities across the country, especially in the north.
These attacks have been designed to create a food scarcity crisis in the country.
The federal government should see these attacks as an act of war against the general population of Nigeria.
PoliticsRe: Auditor General Of The Federation Uncovers ₦197. 72 Fraud In CBN And Other Mdas by panpan(m): 7:54am On Nov 25, 2024
The headline should be corrected.
There is a huge difference between ₦197. 72 and ₦197. 72 billion.
PoliticsRe: "$2.2billion Loan Is ‘lunch Money, Govt Should Borrow More" Senator Jimoh by panpan(m): 9:20am On Nov 20, 2024
These external loans should stop. angry
It appears as if there are a few people in the federal government and the lending institution who get commissions from these loans.
Whenever the federal government takes external loans, they indirectly take money from the general Nigerian population through naira devaluation, increase in the price of petroleum products, and general inflation.
Science/TechnologyRe: Is This A Venomous Snake? by panpan(m): 9:54pm On Nov 19, 2024
To find out whether a snake is venomous, you may get a snake handler to open the snake's mouth (carefully).
If there are fangs, the snake is venomous.
If there are several teeth, but no fangs, the snake is non-venomous.

Neither Elon Musk nor Trump is "the antichrist".
Any man who has the desire of women is disqualified from being the antichrist.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is just a lending institution.

bobby007:
He should go and surrender to clear his name if he's innocent
Surrender to another country's court?
So, in other words, he should do the following:

Renew his passport (if necessary).

Go to the United States Embassy or Consulate to apply for a visa.

Pay visa fees.

Re-apply for a visa (and pay again) in case his first application is rejected.

Leave his business.

Get money for travelling and accommodation expenses.

Just to go and answer query. huh

PoliticsRe: Halliburton Scandal: US Made Over $3bn, Nigeria Lost Out — EFCC Chairman by panpan(m): 6:14pm On Nov 12, 2024
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should be dissolved. The laws enabling EFCC should be repealed.
In practice, EFCC is of no benefit to the general Nigerian population.
EFCC was created just to please the west in general, and the United States in particular.

Arresting "yahoo boys" and people involved in the spraying of naira notes does not justify EFCC's existence.

TravelRe: Nigerian Lady Denied US Visa, Nigerians Demand Refund Policy. by panpan(m): 9:29am On Nov 11, 2024
The non-refundable fees that the applicants pay for a visa refusal is disheartening.

It is obvious that the United States embassy and consulates are being maintained by visa application fees. As long as the money keeps flowing in, they will continue this mode of operation. Who would reject a "business" of making over N150m each working day?

What can we do?

If a foreign entity snubs you, you may snub them back. Only apply for a US visa if it is very important to you and there is no other option. Boycott the US visa application if possible.

Consider the US visa application as a gamble; only pay the application fees with money that you can afford to lose (in other words, money that you do not need for anything else).

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), agents and lawyers, who are involved in immigration issues may start a campaign against US visa applications. Let the general public be sensitized against wasting hard-earned money on a foreign entity, especially when there is no positive result.

EducationRe: Reps Pass Tertiary Institutions Sexual Harassment Bill, Propose Jail Term by panpan(m):
The bill is discriminatory against lecturers.
Sexual harassment laws should be inclusive of every workplace, not just tertiary institutions.
A sexual relationship between a lecturer and his/her student should be viewed as professional misconduct, and should be handled by the school authorities.

14 years imprisonment for sexual harassment is too harsh. Sexual harassment is not as severe as rape.
Imprisonment or a fine for the heads of institutions is also not right. If they are bombarded with numerous frivolous complaints, they may be distracted from other duties.
A person who believes that he/she was sexually harassed can report to the institution's authorities, the police, or a human rights group.

CrimeRe: Trader Bags Nine Months Jail For False Publication by panpan(m): 12:37pm On Oct 22, 2024
In his ruling, Magistrate Ojo sentenced Mmegwa to three months’ imprisonment for each count.

He, however, offered alternatives: “The convict shall perform two weeks of community service to count one and pay a fine of N90,000 for count three, as an alternative to the jail term.”
No alternative was offered for count two.
Since each of the counts have the same three months’ imprisonment, which will run concurrently, there is no point in Mr Mmegwa choosing the alternatives in counts one and three.
Alternatives like this are just theory.
PoliticsRe: 21 Years After, Lagos Assembly To Scrap 37 Lcdas Created By Tinubu In Major Over by panpan(m):
These Administrative Councils, to be headed by Area Administrative Secretaries appointed by the Governor, will be funded by the respective LGAs they serve under.
This is not right.
The governor should not appoint area administrative secretaries, then expect them to be funded by the respective local government.
Area administrative secretaries, if created at all, should be appointed by the local government chairman.
This what local government autonomy is about.

It also grants the Governor the power to suspend any chairman, vice chairman, or political appointee.
The governor cannot suspend an elected local government chairman, just as the president cannot suspend a governor (unless a state of emergency is declared).
