What is their offence? How exactly have they been terrorizing the community?

joseph6071:
Aren't they supposed to be sober?

The school authorities have already made their decision. Being sober will not reverse the suspension.

GNLD itself is not bad. What is wrong is the deceit that network marketers use to get downlines. If they want to encourage other people to become network marketers, they should let people know that they are going to be introduced to network marketing or GNLD before the "interview".

It is quite disheartening to advertise a regular job and ask the applicant to travel from Ibadan to Lagos for an interview, when the so-called interview is a lecture about GNLD.

Making health insurance compulsory is like asking everybody (whether earning an income or not) to pay tax simply because they exist.

EFCC is doing all it can to serve foreign interests in general, and the United States interests in particular. It's almost as if the United States pays EFCC and tells them what to do.

The word "idiot" does not appear in the report itself.

What about those who 'specialize' in defrauding fellow Nigerians? EFCC has no interest there!

It is obvious that EFCC is serving foreign interests.

Sometimes, I wonder if the United States or the United Kingdom law enforcement agencies ever arraign their citizens for crime against Nigerians (resident in Nigeria).

I hope there is a fire extinguisher nearby.

I really do not understand why Customs seizes tramadol, when it has not been banned.

Just because a drug is alleged to be abused by some people does not mean that the drug is not useful when taken appropriately.

Compulsory use of the railways for transporting cargo may sound good, but how practical would the implementation be?

Has the federal government assessed the volume of cargo that is transported along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway each day and night, and whether the railways can handle such volume daily unfailingly?

If use of the railways is to be enforced, it should not be done immediately, but after at least two years from a public announcement, to enable businesses to adjust.

Alternative road routes should be created, because trucks would still be needed one way or another.

So what was their offence? Living above their means?

Well, a person who is arrested has a right to remain silent.

I really do not understand the purpose for this order when tramadol has not been banned.

Just because a drug is alleged to be abused by some people does not mean that the drug is not useful when taken appropriately.

Did the federal high court seek the advice of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) before making the order?

If it costs N57,600 to apply for a US visa, and the US embassy 'processes' one thousand applications a day, then we are simply giving the US government N57.6m each working day, for mostly visa denials.

As long as the money keeps coming in, the US embassy will not stop this 'business'.

Boycott the US visa application if possible. If you must travel abroad (and there is nothing wrong with this), consider another country.

Nigerians should be sensitized against wasting hard-earned money on a foreign entity, especially when there is no positive result.

One reason why Nigeria is number 2 on that list is because of its population. These are the HIV rates, in percentage, among different countries.

Where is this house located? Which country? Which city?

She was able to block the exit, because that branch has only one entrance/exit.

Each bank branch should have at least two entrances/exits for customers.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the victim, who works as an apprentice nurse after school hours...

A 13-year-old works as an apprentice nurse!

What is disheartening are the non-refundable fees that the applicants pay for a visa refusal.

It is obvious that the US 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 N57.6m 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.

Declaring a national holiday for democracy, whether May 29 or June 12, is not necessary.

Is the $7m a grant (as suggested by the headline) or a loan?

Passion2009:
“We are going to be attracting foreign students and foreign faculties...”

There is a law in Lagos, which restricts prospective students, who do not have a credit in Yoruba, from admission into Lagos State tertiary institutions. Has this been taken into consideration as regards attracting foreign students?

Amaka should have seen the red flag when her 'friend' asked her to withdraw N5m in cash. If the amount transferred was an error, she should have insisted in transferring the money back to the same account that the funds came from.

A common currency for West Africa in 2020? What is the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank's position on this issue?

MyVILLAGEpeople:
19 million US Dollars. Damn that's a lot of freaking money.

It's actually 19 million Singapore dollars, which is equivalent to 13.7 million US dollars. (It's still a lot of money.)

What is 'monkey tail'?

The white dog doesn't look fierce at all.

Even if the man is found, it will be difficult to prove that he used fake currency for the purchase. The case would have been stronger if the fake currency had been detected at the point of the transaction.

It's a sad situation, but action still needs to be taken. A relationship between two countries should be based on reciprocity. If one country (in this case Ghana) becomes hostile, then the other country (Nigeria) should fight back. There is such a thing called economic sanctions or retaliatory measures.

On the part of Nigerian traders in Ghana, there is what is called 'plan B'. If the Ghanaian government does not soften its stance against Nigerian traders, then realize that Ghana is not the only country where you can do business. Leave the country. Look for another country that is more business friendly towards Nigerians. You may even campaign against Nigerians going for education in Ghana.

If when you were a 'small boy' (in business), your host country (Ghana) was hostile towards you, is it when you are a 'big boy', with one million dollars or more, that you will now rush to Ghana to go and invest?

Mztarstrechy:
It is unclear if they are his pastors or mere church members.

'Mere' church members? What kind of reporting is this?

Does fibroid prevent pregnancy?

thorpido:
People and oyinbo self.Do you know there is a difference between 'cut' and 'cut off'?

The doctor ought to have referred instead of trying to test his surgical skills except it was a life-salvaging emergency.

I didn't notice the misleading headline initially. There is certainly a difference between 'cut' and 'cut off'.

We have not heard from the other side, so it is difficult to conclude from the man's allegations.
