Why were the external clothing and footwear removed?

Why does the suspect have to carry that poster? Can't he refuse?

The chicks don't look crushed. There isn't a single blood stain on any of them.

The chicks probably died of heat, starvation, suffocation or dehydration.

Is kachasu the same thing as burukutu?

Why leave nose uncovered?

So that they can breathe properly.

What is the difference between a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and a nucleic acid test?

This news is pathetic.

Why destroy public property? If INEC doesn't want to use carders, why don't they just say so?
They could have come up with any other excuse; they could have said that the card readers are faulty, or not validating several registered voters.

Eddiecute86:
What kind of fake news is this. Is it not the same UAE I reside? People should stop spreading wrong information. Yes they are not renewing employment visa for now but they are not forcing anybody out not those still having valid residence Visa.

If the UAE government is not renewing employment visas, it will be difficult for Nigerians there to continue to work and fend for themselves.

Is the UAE employment visa different from the residence visa? If the visas are different, what would be the purpose of the residence visa if Nigerians cannot be employed with it?

mike318:
These people are not in India but rather Bangladesh deporting camp.get your facts right.

The presenter said that they are in Tripura (state).
Tripura is in India.

Some like it hot, some like it cold; some like it in the pot ...

You may get her a flask or a cooler.

CBN should not freeze bank accounts without a court order.

What happens if a Nigerian comes into the country without previously taking the PCR test, and still refuses to take the "second" PCR test?

Some have complained that the PCR tests, which involve inserting a swab stick deep into the nostrils, are uncomfortable.

I'm 99% sure that those who come into the country through the land borders, especially from Niger Republic and Chad, are not subjected to PCR tests.

That hair dresser needs to be arrested and charged for first degree murder

The hairdresser may deny the allegation of giving any advice to the mother of the nine-year old girl.

This bill should be thrown out.

What is the name of the lake shown in some of the photos?

It is better for a lawmaker not to sponsor a bill than for the lawmaker to sponsor a dangerous bill.

It is better for a football player not to score a goal than for the player to score an own goal.

Now that this statement has come officially from NAFDAC, all partial lockdowns should cease.

Schools should reopen fully.

Non-food and non-drugs markets should be able to operate on any day of the week.

Gatherings should be allowed on any day of the week and without government-imposed restrictions.

“In May of 2018, our officials returned to the ports and gave importers of these illicit drugs a run for their money. Many containers of Tramadol were impounded by NAFDAC and destroyed. To destroy a container of Tramadol, it costs around N1m to N2m. ...

Tramadol is not an illicit drug; it has its uses.

It is not necessary to destroy tramadol as long as the batch inspected is not fake or substandard.

Is NAFDAC now using the excuse of the cost of destroying tramadol to justify their budget expenses?

Are Nigerians allowed to travel from Northern Cyprus to Cyprus without a visa?

Islie:
“Recall that in 2007, Lagos House of Assembly passed a bill for the establishment of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) for the state government to equip and strengthen the security agencies in the state.

“Three helicopters were bought to strengthen security in the state. But, the helicopters are nowhere to be found now. ...

Three helicopters since 2007?

Were the helicopters expected to last forever?

Why is the Lagos State House of Assembly asking about these helicopters now? Did the previous state governments hand over these helicopters to the present Lagos State government?

She should visit a dermatologist or a cosmetic dermatologist.

mansakhalifa:
For a lot of reasons...

Now, where do I start from??

It is a long story/explanation.

For instance, how do you police a country with an area of over 1.2 million square kms(Nigeria is just about 923,000 Sq km) with armed forces with a total strength of 10,000 men? Mali has only about 10,000 soldiers to protect such a large country.

Add that to the fact that the northern part of Mali shares a contiguous border with Southern Algeria- a hot-spot of Islamic jihad and terrorism. Most of the veterans of the Algerian civil war are hiding in that region(including some who also fought in Afghanistan). These terrorist always cross in from Southern Algeria to cause mayhem almost every time. They also bring in very lethal military-grade weapons.

That same northern part of Mali is enmeshed in a Tuareg rebellion. This rebellion has been on since the colonial era. Since the colonial era. As a matter of fact, that rebellion has been the root-cause of several military rebellions and coup d'etats that have ousted several Malian administrations- both military and civilian administrations alike.

The Algerian end of the Mali-Algeria border is poorly policed. In fact, security there is nonexistent. It is often classified as one of the most dangerous borders in the world.

Mali can do very little about its situation due to the fact that it is not so buoyant economically and has very little by way of resources. It can't even support a large army with their meagre resources.

There is the issue of the Sahelian drought which has plagued that part of Africa since the 70s with northern Mali largely affected by it. That drought has also helped in no small way in adding more fuel to the conflict over there as the herders who are mostly Tuaregs and Arabs

Then in parts of Northern and central Mali, you still have ethnic crisis and wars. Everybody fighting everybody. Fulani vs Dogon hunters and farmers. Fulani vs Tuaregs... All sorts. And hundreds have been killed in the process. The Army is overwhelmed but it still deployed in these places to quell these conflicts.

We haven't talked about the economy. We already know that Mali is not an economic powerhouse in West Africa, let alone Africa, yet COVID 19 has come to wreck it even further(just like every other country).

The job is not easy at all, I tell you. But why people still stand-in to be elected for it despite knowing what the odds are still baffles me a lot.

It's really crazy.

Thank you for the explanation.

What about Burkina Faso?

DanseMacabre:
Make China do take over this country abeg.

This should never happen.

mansakhalifa:
The most difficult job in West Africa right now as we speak is that of President of Mali and Burkina Faso.

I know why I said that.

Why did you say that?

The federal government, at least recently, never had any interest in issuing national identity cards. The initial mention of "national identity cards" was used to get as many people to register as possible without much persuasion by the federal government.

They were only concerned with the registration to ensure that information on all Nigerians goes into a database. This database entry was probably to satisfy the interests of a foreign government or international organization.

The federal government has not even declared ISWA (or ISWAP) a terrorist organization.

sodiqapril:
Thank God ooo..hope it's not politics sha.....but on a more serious note..a big shame on all Nigerian public universities, professors, research institutes (that's if we have one) no single research or anything to combat covid-19. Even if it's testing kit. As usual we wait on the oyinbos to come to rescue..

All universities in Nigeria have been closed by the federal government.

Are these drugs (hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc) available in Nigerian hospitals and pharmacies?

How do we breathe effectively with both face-shield and face-mask put on like this?

Dalil8:
Does this include Cargoes?

Read the bolded part below.

DjSwaga:
Also approved for exemptions are “technical landings where passengers do not disembark and cargo flights and other safety-related operations.”

Why should the police or SARS officers go to the market and arrest everybody on sight? This is so unprofessional. And as if that was not bad enough, the SARS officers shot someone in the process of their raid.

Anazp:
I wonder where are our Nigerian universities in all of these? OAU UI UNN UNILAG ABU none have been able to come out with a single vaccine. Shame.

The universities in Nigeria have been closed by the federal government.
