Tells us more about his perception of himself. Same for all those who answered. The good see the good in others and the bad...

It's called projection, the average Nigerian is a diligent resilient person,the few bad eggs don't define us,for our population its a few bad eggs

Nigerias real problem is intersectoral coordination.Africa too


Some Chinese company's heads should litrearily be rolling over this one,the influences too should have been invited by their Chinese government

But that will only happen if it affects their trade and that is the responsibility of a different agency

Nigeria must respond fast for africa (we have the largest of trade with china).its a simple matter, China must hold the manufacturers and influencers,to do otherwise is to condemn its future generations to ethnic profiling by the Chinese

Truth is the Chinese don't care about black skin, they find it fascinating, many have never seen a black person. Stupid trends like this with no response,teach them how we want to be treated

It is not a matter to be taken lightly

CharlesCNG:
There's nothing wrong with showing compassion to imprisoned compatriots. But prisons are not wedding receptions, and incarceration is not a cultural reunion.

Public office demands sensitivity to optics. A little more sobriety would have better conveyed empathy without risking the impression of celebrating criminality.

At worst, Bianca's conduct was not an error of compassion, but an error of judgment and optics.
But nobody is above mistake

There was also the issue of many of them having questionable incarceration or cases somewhere....

Fujiyama:


Terrible, terrible stuff.

First of all, isn't there a protocol guiding interaction between non-prison staff and prisoners? Are prisoners free to swarm around federal ministers in this manner ?

And some people on here are tying themselves in knots trying to defend this?

Rubbish

This one is trying to sound like one famous oyibo man like that

KingPure:
Whaaaaatt!!! Well I'm not disappointed. I understand that some of you are actually using nairaland to think aloud in public settings.

The issue at hand has suddenly transformed into a misunderstanding only because someone could not read to understand between public conduct (regardless of prevailing situations) and emotions.

Maybe I should ask Mr Onoh this and his co-travellers; "Would you maintain decorum or rather dance on the spot of an accident as a lone survivor (even in the very presence of the loved ones of co-travellers)"?

I'll also now conclude that I noticed you only sleep, wake-up, eat, take your bath, drink, read, learn, and practice nothing else outside the news of banditry and kidnappings. How boring this life could be for some people.

This is why and how we know the foreigners in thinking amongst us. You schooled abroad right?


Her response was culturally appropriate. She's our foreign affairs minister for a reason. She get sense well global and local. She was with her people, representing their home and their interests, they sang and dqnced, and she danced with them, in Africa we call her response home training... what was you peoples beef again? She should stand at attention like the warden...I see...

Her response was culturally appropriate, she achieved a great feat and celebrated with them their good news, in an appropriate African way,what kind of person beefs that.... so she should pack face like a pretentious prude... what's that now...

She shared the news with them, rejoiced with them and treated them like humans... someone has a problem with that it appears

That place should not have been given out for anything other than a community park

Citizens should have been involved too

LordBiden:
Where is the evidence wike is grabbing the said land.The said land was revoked because it was underdeveloped for over 15yrs, abandoned for years while shanties where built over it.


So asking people to do things right is now land grabbing.You believe sowere an attention seeker who is a sworn enemy of wike.

I am even sure you don't even know the issues surrounding the said jabi lake,you all just want to paint wike in bad light.

The money point guy goofed,he demarketted nigerias youth population education system amongst others

From someone that was a part of it all before fame,that's climbing up and throwing away the bridge

With friends like that who needs enemies? Even if it's true, (no talent in Nigeria) which it's not, there's a way at his level his words should build and not destroy

Nigeria is one of the places where the world sources and recruits top tech talents! Our fintech here is one of the fastest in the world,and it's run by naija boys.its a system others are still trying to copy and achieve.Know that and know peace

If money point can't find,he should check himself and his systems.

obiekunie01:
Dont mind them with these their defensive yarn.
FACT IS, EVERY EMPLOYER IN NIGERIA TODAY KNOWS THAT NIGERIAN YOUTHS OF THESE GENERATION ARE SO DISAPOINTING. TOO LAZY AND YET EXPECT YOUR TO PAY THEM HUGE FOR CONTRIBUTING FAR LESS TO THE GROWTH OF THE ORGANISATION.

Terrible work ethics. veery terrible and dishonest.

This is pure crap,blame your hiring managers for sending you their brothers and sisters to hire

If you want top talent in any industry there are well trained people that have invested time and effort into their career.

When you find them they know their worth,simple.on the other hand you lot can choose to train persons instead of complaining about lack of talent,nobody brought IT talent from heaven

algomachine:
Tosin just said trash, many Nigerians have talent and work in top companies, paying 1million for a top tier talent is rubbish today.

That's actually what they offer for junior tech roles and boys are still refusing the jobs,they are making more on their virtual roles and doing multiple gigs,why give it up to seat in a toxic bank till late at night

That said ,our labour laws and ministry are very weak...nigeria employers need to treat employees better

Beautifulday:
You have said it all. They want ready made talents with no input

They are actually roles many many,a dime a dozen if you are interested in them look an hr friend,they are always looking for tech persons,but real tech persons think their pay isn't worth it

Stop speaking on what you don't know

Moniepoint is a fintech,he needs tech boys

Naija wants to pay tech persons peanuts and use them like horses when they already get remote jobs that pay them steady without them leaving the house

Tech boys and girls are refusing naija tech role with nonsense pay and toxic work environments

It's not just moniepoint it applies across sectors and many banks

Naija should pay better and profer better working conditions.simple

These same tech persons that you say are unavailable are been recruited daily remotely with their naija education.be deceiving yourself,some even get coas to move

Allwell96:
If they are really going to upgrade the place, why go against it?

The question is upgrade it to what? For a location like that,the general public ought to be carried along and their consent sought

The real question is what was the land repurposed for

Last time I was in abuja there was a fence,leaving only 1/3rd of the park to the accessible to the public

The people there said the restricted parts were for a residential estate

Pastor Sarah is right in this one ,that land should have been left for the public,like central park. It's literarily where Abuja people do their morning walk,they were now cramped to the part that was left

Usurping green zones is wrong,whoever re allocated that land did a great injustice to the people of abuja

Talk of selfish interests over the common good. And why is Sarah omakwu the only one talking about it?

Africa needs to probe the protest leaders

Looks to me like the hands of esau and voice of another situation

They seem sponsored to say what others cannot say

In addition the AU should consider a trial of the protest leaders if it results in the lynching of any African.We must as a joint union take a stand against this as a deterent for future opportunists

How you lots willingly provide information without asking "why do you need to know"


that part we all need to relearn

you are also exploting them by putting up their pictures and names in this post, take them down,its a crime

you all should say the truth and do what needs to be done

Goverment should create a system that takes almajiri kids off the street give them rehabilitation ,vocational training, a decent home and reintergrate them into society at 18

ill say this is where the northern women and their gold have failed...they should have spear headed this at state level

society should also shame women who agree to be 2nd and 3rd wives to these men...... and the men too

that said this one doesnt look fulani... we need strong laws against kidnapping

you all underestimate the Nigerian police and armed forces. really.

They will get him. Hes a goner. He will be parraded when they choose to as for the eventual outcome after his arrests, thats the part we need to follow up better on. for example where is evans today. sentenced,yes...but where is he ?

watching to see what the political ,academic and religious leaders will say about the sentencing of these of these people knowing how other sane countries address this.

Silence should never be the option. societies dont grow when everyone sits on the fence and refuse to speak up in the face of evil.

The police have done their part,arrests have been made, whose part is next? who keeps an eye and reports to the public diligently on this case, how long should it take and how will it take?

I will say that Nigeria needs a special court (s) arrangement for terrorism related violence, it should be an open court, it should include military,police and other high ranked officers with standing protection in its ranks. Cases in that court and judgement should be fast tracked. This scenario where terrorism related charges goes through our long ,cumbersome existing legal process is justice delayed.... when justice is delayed,justice is been denied.... if we can do it for traffic offences, why not terrorism related violence and kidnapping?

Why? Nigeria cannot afford divisive decisions at a time like this.

Someone ought to take full responsibility for the blunder and the right agencies of the government must be seen investigating this as a future deterent


Which agency is responsible for investigating this at this time?

These 2 policies are an embarrassment to the whole nation

1. Reuse of textbooks is a crime.its against ethics. Just think piracy.how an entire nations education sector does not know this beats me.

The authors did not produce their book to be reused or photocopied

The country literarily justified poverty by giving kids old textbooks previously used ,who does that.whay does it cost them to budget for free learning resources,or produce books that can have open source or free use

How do we justify this kain poverty thinking

Sweden buys 1000 copies of any books published in it's country our own people are asking teachers to erase books to be reused. Education minister should be sacked for this alone

2. As for graduation for primary and secondary,all of them are not well again. Let parents and schools who choose to celebrate milestones that keep kids in school if they choose to,that's not what the ministry should be regulating

It's just another example of a stupid sub national policy from akwa ibom national is adopting as if they don't have brain

Which stakeholders did they ask before scrapping it? Those are things that should be optional and definitely not national policy

Village education minister we have here...

and no one can get the pictures of the thugs and share them for the public to report them to the police

they need to have their day in court

Summary

Women don't give up everything to submit to or marry an irresponsible man that cannot protect and provide for the woman

The power and virtue of patience is often underestimated

Like in this scenario for instance

Kudos to the Nigerian team

No life is worth the ego of small men who think small.patience is indeed a virtue

Welcome home home to our gallant airmen

This was one of those in buhari and his right hand man's camp during his administration as nhis boss,very difficult man that time

Someone should bring up the story of his escapades then.wasnt he the one that refused to be fired...

Saudi arabia the supposed home base of islam does not tolerate these radical teachings that promote terrorism

They are strict on monitoring mosques and deporting or arresting imams that promote such

I saw a clip where one of their ministers was saying they had deported over 1000 such potential radical teachers in a short period

They said to the European counterpart paraphrased "you are been politically correct with extremism, cannot know islam more than us"

Some even said naija own gumi is persona non grata there

Saudi clamps hard on terrorism financiers have you seen their sentence there?

So why and how does Nigeria that's predominantly sunni have this sort of evil?

Is islam not just an excuse for inherent evil in some people? If so why do other muslims endorse these evil doers with heir silence

The numbers again according to this article

1.5billion litres import approved in November

( the highest since the refineries started functioning,that's enough to make dangote crazy)

while some are thinking maybe for oble in December, then we read....

7.5 billion approved for importation first quarter of 2026.(Make it make sense...)

again what's the gap per quater after factoring in local production and wastage, so another person doesn't come repeat the same crap

And we must not let anyone derail the topic... The issue again is the volume of fuel been imported appropriate to gaps in the market after local production is accounted for or is it in excess

It's a simple question the regulatory agency must answer

And the bridging fees matter,is that not another payout in disguise

Nigerians don't like to be accountable

The agency should bring the maths for the specified period

-Total official country petrol needs or consumption =x litres
-Total fuel produced in country by local refineries=x litres
-Gap=x litres
-Approved import=x litres

Simple as abc the job of the regulatory agency and sabotage if any will be clear... Someone should please bring those estimates let us see something

No one is saying to cancel all importation, the question is the volume been approved for importation over said period


Is it an unfair balance to production by local refineries,that is are they creating to much surplus... If yes,then they are sabotaging local production towards favoring importers and that is cruel to dangote and generations unborn

A supply chain analyst can review this and give fact based report. and if anyone in the agency is found obtaining personal proceeds to enable such then,that's economic sabotage,shikena

You cannot kill local refineries by importing excessive surplus and expect local production to thrive

National interest must come first in this matter

Nigeria should be exporting petrol not importing,how can everyone not see that?

Is that not common sense?

Taxes from our refineries can make us great. Compare Dangotes present taxes and our education budget.

The leadership of the regulatory agency must demonstrate how importing so much fuel benefits the country when we have a refinery in country.how do we convince non Nigerian investors to invest when this is happening to a Nigerian? How do we make the nations future better?

ICPC owes the nation and future generations due diligence in this matter.

All eyes are on you
