The protesters got what they want.

When they told them what was needed was reform the police force.they insisted on end wars.now sars has ended and it is clear that is not what was really needed

I insist all that is required from the police should be clearly articulated and this system been used to drive reforms must accommodate it

1.No arbitrary arrests for no reason only based on profiling

2.No unlawful detention without trial or bail.This one should be made a crime.Anyone force unit holding a person without trial or bail should be arrested.this would require wider reforms in the justice unit.more courts,more bail processing officers.time to consider private contractors too


3.No unlawful entry


4.Proper police identification

4.Body cameras for all police members which must be used at arrests.those things are cheap abeg.Nigeria can afford it.

These are examples of specific reforms that must be listed.not just end Sars,or end swat

That said someone needs to articulate the end sars requests and strike out the stupid ones

Stop cutting our hair.very valid one

Don't profile African hair as criminal..very valid

Leave yahoo boys alone..very stupid.
all handles promoting this one should be noted and stored for opportunity for efcc investigation and possible arrest

Stop arbitrary search without warrant.very valid


Stop kidnappings in the name of arrests. Very valid


I need help with the rest

Jesus wore his hair.Ogedengbe wore his hair,ologbosere wore his hair, Wole Soyinka wears his hair. Why are you making our youth cut theirs?

Self hating Africans should not infect those that love our heritage,our look,our hair.They must not be allowed to trample them.

The precious few have managed to make African hair fashionable.why drag them down your self hating dungeon

Midadeola:
Mention three of those MANY ways.

Trust me that hospital will be in trouble if she files against them.They should pray No one teaches her how to.

They will get the pittance they were owed,but the punishment for the law they infringed is a long time in jail

Whoever cares to listen should call the sharia police to order.

I don't get why blacks hate their own black hair(afro) in their own land.Talk about the height of self loathing.But the silky Arabian hair is acceptable but not the afro right?

If we don't teach our kids to wear their Natural hair,to embrace it and love it,who will?

Why is there even a sharia police in Nigeria.Is that a parallel police force or what.

What constitutional powers do they have.Who is empowering these miscreants rubbing others of their freedom?

A land with no laws does not stand. Our humanity is been tested.the people of the north should call their miscreants to order

flexshop:
Don’t mind the man
He doesn’t understand that a minor procedure like a Caesarian section can become comeplicated thus inflating a small bill

Have seen one that morphed into a full hysterectomy

Some poorly educated souls don’t understand the workings of the health sector but just want to talk on social media

I hope this case is used as an example to hospitals.The management should be arrested and fined at least

lazypenguin2000:
I see.

And you don't know how many staff of hospitals have had salaries delayed and haven't been able to feed because patients don't pay their bills

How many private hospitals cannot afford better equipment because they run at a loss because patients cannot pay their bills.

And having been at the recieving end as a staff of a private hospital...salary delayed or cut because the owner has allowed too many people not to pay them bills, or having seen how some private hospitals struggle to pay their bills because people don't pay their bills, or having seen hospitals go broke because of patients not paying...I know.

So you grow up, and face reality.

Restricting her right to liberty is not a debt collection approach sanctioned by law.The management and staff of the hospital that sanctioned this should be prosecuted.

Someone should please take up the hospital management for kidnapping.

There are many ways to collect what they are owed.Imprisoning her and restricting her liberty is not one of them.That is kidnapping

It's Linda day today.That woman has made something for herself.

She turned blogging into great money in Nigeria.She gets paid more than newspaper houses per day while using less staff and other costs

Beyond innovation shes proven herself as a management guru.Shes still the best blog around with the most visitors

She has survived scandals,Even Wizkid and other haters couldn't bring her down.She has buildt other woman with her self made gig.She has also broken the heart of some.But if Linfa didnt break the news others woukd have if its news.

Happy Birthday to Linda..40 is the time to build legacies.Hope she has a wonderful decade ahead

May God bless Nigeria for her restraint and maturity.
Ghana should better do the same and show some common sense

Thank you Naptu for this post.

The police should take it a step further and provide protection for them.Also arret a few aggressors at the scene.

The violence has to be addressed to Stop it.

The Ghanian response is a joke

In summary they refused to take responsibility for allowing the demolition of an embassy in their country.The summary of their response paraphrased is this "it is a matter between Nigeria and a Ghanian it does not concern us but we offered to rebuild after it was demolished"

Truth is that demolition should never have been allowed to happen.The individual with a grouse should have had to go through his country to resolve that grouse.It should have been taken up with Nigeria through his country!.Ghana allowed it to happen,an attack on a foreign embassy and even gave excuses despite a police post not been far from there


Ghanian embassy lands in Nigeria should have their titles (paid or unpaid)revoked indefinately and demolished as well.Thats a ŕesponse that Must happen.Nigeria shoukd also offer to rebuild for the fun of it and put bugs they will never be able to remove unless they demolish again all over the place

ODB2:
They are most likely dead.

One can only hope not.The kidnappers are still demanding large sums in millions from the family.

We also need to criminalize not reporting kidnappings.So that a joint response can be instituted against the kidbappers.For examplr all families are negotiafing the lives of theor loved ones individually. Like pricing commodities in the market.Kidnapping is a crime.All calls should be re orded amd traced.All ases should be identified amd addresses only then can it be ome a big deal.And not the norm

ODB2:
Since 2015 that road has been the most dangerous road in Nigeria

Buhari and APC deployed their Fulani militia to surround Abuja before the elections to wreck havoc in the event he lost the election.

When Buhari was sworn in the first thing he did was to pull the military from the roads to allow for more of his militia to be deployed across the country

Those militia are now the bandits wrecking havoc all over the country

This is not a responsible narrative.Especially with no proof.Our security teams are doing their best with limited resources.Were there are gaps we shiuld point it out politely and support them to close up those gaps

They should have safety equipments, clothes and vehicles to keep them safe.Rapid response numbers.Monitoring cameras, sensors, anti bomb detectors etc.only them can we ask them to face this evil squarely.It must not be at the risk of their lives with no prote tion for them.

That itself is also wrong.Nigerians should reflect that the sums paid to bandits would have equipped our security teams better.Nigerians must support the system

For the record i believe choloroquine and zinc works.

Im only against how she presented her case.I understand it was passion for lives over diplomacy.While i applaud her courage,i know a Nigerian Doctor abroad will do better at this,diplomacy is key in matters such as this

Itulah:
And she's a Nigerian doctor!

She is not she is a cameroun citizen

While the womans intentions may be good.the video was totally unprofessional.

At best she should have reported her succes rates and rwcommend others try the same but not ru bish other recommendations and clinical trials.


As a professional she should know only clinical trials can be utilized to determine the efficacy and safety of any drug.Any other process and we sanction half poisons as safe drugs.

PS shes camerounian not Nigerian

Hedonisco:
You mean they have not been released? Getting to almost 2 weeks now? Meaning that there'll most likely be fatalities among the victims by now. Not to mention the atrocious ordeal of the female victims in the hands of these brutes, being in captivity for .

Now you understand the point to the title of this thread.How many more remain unreported.Who is collating information as regards the scale of the problem

At what point do we say this has happened enough for a National response by our esteemed security agencies.How many more families havr to be victim

Ths individual is still yet to be released.kidnappers are still asking for a very heavy sum despite pleas from the family to accept less

Cc seun

Im sure he did not say so abeg.Yoruba elders respect themselves too much for stuff like like this

Lagos already has a slogan.its o t'ope

Passionate888:
Don't you know that apc stiffle the media with threats and brown envelopes?

This is not about any party.we need to stop that narative.

Its about the need for systems.for all you know the police may not have been informed.How and where are citizens to report kidnapping to ensure its taken up and a response team drafted immediately

Hedonisco:
Are you following up with this Ekeson matter to be sure none of the passengers has made it out? Besides, was it one of these 'luxurious' long buses that ply Lagos - Abuja night journey? Meaning that the kidnap happened in the wee hours?

More details please.

The relatives all went to Ekeson in the morning.They demanded for ransom from all of them individually.Ekesons driver was shot.They held their conductor and asked the bus company to ransom him.

All relatives are raising funds individually.Theyve still not released them.Still asking for ransom.

What i find strange is the lack of media report.and the timely response to the matter.The first 12 hrs are the golden period for any succesful tactical operatio to get them back.How do you pack 50pple into the bush and the roads are not closed or curfew declared till they are found.

This is starting to be the new normal because they get away with it due to NO national or state response.Dont count hunters and neighbourhood watch.search and rescue is not their brief

Hunters and neighbourhood watch.

What happened to early response by trained State and response antikidnapping unit

50 passengers of Ekeson were kidnapped from 1 bus on their way to Abuja on lokaja abuja road.Relatives are yet to secure their release.But it is not the role of relatives,hunters or neighbourhood watch


We need a strong National response including detection arrests and special courts for their swift prosecution and sentencing

Kidnappings must end.no one who makes a living stealing othet peoples freedom for money should be allowed to go scot free with the proceeds of his or her crime

Still no word on this event that happened.I start to wonder how many families have paid ransoms quietly,how many have lost relatives.

What is the National hotline or response numbers for kidnappings

This should not be the new norm.meanwhile the 50 passengers abducted from Ekeson on lokoja Abuja road have still not been returned as at this night day 4.Still no word in the news

Cc seun

Jummyrano:
No one has reported this. Incidents like this is demoralizing. Are we saying that if a need arises to travel, those that cannot afford air trips should cancel their trip?

Thats another perspective.Perhaps theres bo traction because it affects those who cannot avoid road traction

Cc seun naptu

I also need to add that we cannot leave funding for the police to the Government alone.The police force cannot be deployed witbout full support and protection which costs money

Private sector should use the same energy they did mobilizing funds for COVID to join the same drive for a sager Nigeria

The police need funding.They need armoured security vehicles.The latest satelite systems and whatever they need to combat this menace.

The funds Nigerians are paying to kidnappers are best donated for a stronger police towards a safer country

The context again.50 passengers of a mass transit vehicle kidnapped on their way to the capital of the Nation.These occured days after the daughter of a retired military officer and a Soldier were killed while others where kidnapped.This means probably there was not enough response to the first kidnapp.Enough for a repeat of 50 persons on the same road Lokoja to Abuja.

How do people kidnapp 50 persons and nothing happens.

Evil thrives when good men say nothing

Lokoja Abuja road has become a hotbed of kidnappings in the last 1 month.Fast becoming like the Kaduna road

2 daya ago passengers on a mass transit (Ekeson) travelling from Lagos to Abuja were kidnapped and taken to the bush

It appears this has been happening for some time now to travellers on that road based on jersay but a quick search of the internet for the last 2 days show not 1 news outlet has covered this.news on lokoja Abuja kidnappings in 2020 are quite few.Less than 3 despite repeated occurences. A lot of Families are in despair but no publicity, no statement They just pay the ransoms quietly while those who cannot pay loose their loved ones

I am an advocate for not publicizing the evil works of mad men so as not to give them the publicity they need but this is different.

The quiet around these crimes takes away the pressure from them.It gives them time to cause havoc before a full scale response is instituted by the right quaters.It allows other Nigerians who would have taken precautions fall victim

Lastly from riyom jos to kabba Kogi,coommunity members that have reported or arrested kidnappers and handed them to the police have had large scale reprisals against their communities by affiliates of the kidnappers.So the imperative is not on the communities to report and we should not expect tthem to

We all know the first 24hrs after a kidnapping are the golden hrs but the apparatus of State will say they are not informed. And in Nigeria it appears it does not matter till an alarming number have been affected.This is not right.

Where do people report kidnappings to.Whats the number of the antikidnapping team to alert them for that road.Before a physical visit to the station.What is the National response.Why is no curfew declared.Why can these kidnappers rumoured to be foreign elements operate with such impunity unhindered.Why is everyone quiet.

A detailed snake thread at night,what is wrong with you snake people?

At least wait till morning to enlighten us.

TenthMan:
FIX YOUR EDUCATION SYSTEM - ESPECIALLY THE POOR HUMAN RESOURCES IN THESE TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS

It is only going to get worse. As these institutions in Nigeria collapse and more people can afford sending their kids overseas, more Nigerians will send money away from the country, investing in other countries' education sector. Germany today is heavily advertising. Canada is doing the same on YouTube calling for international students. UK and US have both been benefiting. Even Ghana is doing so. By the adverts something tells you they are targeting Nigerians. When will foreigners leave their country and come to a Nigerian school as international students? While it is a cause for concern, anyone who can afford it and desires it should send their kids overseas for higher education. Despite the limited infrastructure, it would still have been manageable if we had friendly, efficient academic and non-academic staff willing to manage and make use of the limited resources to better the lives of those they come across. To teach, educate and eventually empower. But no, we had to have demoniacs there.

Besides poor infrastructural development, and little or no equipment to promote learning in these modern times, there is untold human wickedness by Academic and Non-Academic Staff in Nigerian Universities. This is the biggest issue unspoken about. These persons are generally wicked. It was not these kids that made your lives miserable. The students are not the Government who pay you poor salaries. You Academic and Non-academic staff are not the only ones with problems and poor pay. Even the staff of Total Exploration and Production would like their salaries increased.

I understand the part of infrastructural development and the lack of teaching aids and equipment. However, this is one just one part. The Human Wickedness in these institutions is just alarming and a thing of greater/bigger concern to me. They are rude, disrespectful, wicked, act like gods that must not be questioned, jealous if they think you are doing better or know better, extortionists, very poor researchers, ignorant, haughty, vengeful for no reason, sexual predators, deviants and rapists. They form cliques and cells like the mafiaso to punish unwilling female and male students, etc. I mean name it. They lack academic discipline. Most of them will force students to write research papers etc. and then publish it in their own name. All these happen because there are no consequences. You claim to be an intellectual but fight against any form of discussions or arguments on academics? Who says you must be more informed that your student in all matters?



While we work to put this sector of the country in order, I will advise any Nigerian today to send their kids abroad if they have the means. Worst case scenario is they should attend Nigerian Private University and then travel overseas for post graduate studies.

I logged in for your comment.This is the real reason Nigerians school abroad.This is why my children will never study in Nigeria from BSC level.

Even the private uni are as bad and worse.if in doubt see news from CU and afe babalola recently.NYSC is equally as bad.evil HR and cliches everywhere and nothing to protect the consumers.The students are at their mercy and they end up graduating passive aggressive yes men not capable of taking initiative

Who would want that for his or her child

To fix naija unis forget money start from fixing the HR.Same with the hospitals

Simple solution.Ghana should extradite the chief to Nigeria to face prosecution in our courts and jail term.The crime was committed on Nigerian soil in Ghana.He he was ready to do the crime he must be ready to do the time

Nigeria must demand this as others are watching to see what they can get away with in attacking Nigeria and her assets abroad.Precedence is been set here.

why does the ''tunde'' fellow still get to keep his job,he should have been sacked ASAP.

refusing to isolate was deliberately putting the president and the first family in danger,it shows a complete disregard for the first family and the country.


Thats not right

May God bless This First Lady

Anyone that insults her for this is just plain silly

This is what First Ladies are supposed to do.Use their influence to mobilize resources to respond to needs and disaster.Others will also copy such acts

Kano is her constituency,it's a voting populace too,it pays her for her people to love her.Smart woman as well.Either way she is right

Correcto:
Lol obviously you know nothing. Recruiting Experienced Doctors from India and other Asia countries is quite easy once the government decides to. Just pray state of emergency should not be declared in the health sector, you know nothing. Don't ever think you can blackmail government, if you do they just allowed you.

Hire 300 of them.Pay them 1.5 million each.give them to ibadan with the same work volume ,work conditions and salary. Let them hear no scissors,no drugs and no oxygen.

Nigeria really needs the social experiment

Its a medical emmergency if the MDCN is calling a strike.we are all just in denial
