This wqs a bad case that should never have happened at all.

Any progress is good.The Nigerian legal team has managed to keep our scarce resources in country.Thats 200million dollars cash still in circulation for us.Thats good news.

People should encourage such

Its better to pay 5% commision to 3rd party firms and get 95% as at when due than to forget 65billion dollars for 20years as Nigeria was rumoured to have done and eventually letting go of the money because of technicalities due to delays

Goverment system is ineffective for identifying and following up on debts.A third party firm will take its duties more seriously with their own prefinancing for the sake of their profit.They will also ignore political constrainsts as they aim for their profit

National interest is to use third party firms for such jobs.Small minded individuals should get real

Nigerias border is her bussiness as a soveriegn entity we,'ll do whatever we want with it.Any other alternative is simply if we want to.

Ghanians should stop crying spilt milk and flexing muscle as in its not their bussiness at all

End of story

How did he get to Nigeria if the border is closed? Your people should transport goods through the means which you used to transport yourself here

I logged in to like this comment.Abeg tell them

This is for the younger ones.Anyone anywhere assaults you like that or anyhow at all

Visit the hospital and document and injuries even where there are no physical ones document neck pain

Get willing witnesses,

launch a formal complaint to the school authorities

Tell your elder ones

Launch a police complaint

Leave school for a while

In the order listed above.

Sit back and watch justice take its course

When u grew old, then u will know the importance of owning a home. Oga keep your economics analysis to yourself.

When you grow old youll also know having a regular source of income to sort all bills without having to beg beats having your own home and no food on table except the children send charity or having to beg persons to pay bills

Life is about choices.People who are investing with their youth are the smart ones.

The house you live in must not be your biggest investment

Wise man

Many are poor becausr to rushed to secure their own homes first

The house you live in is not an investment

It does not even save costs for you till its over 20 years in Nigeria not 10.

Build or buy your house from return on investments not from your salary.Except you are very young and can absorb the risk.

End of story.But they will not listen and spend their 10 years savings building a house.Many retire with nothing but that house and a pittance in gratuity.Doesnt make sense.

Rent till you can afford monthly income for daily living and have enough to spare to buy assets.Dont have a house and be a liability to others

They should stop embarassing us with nonsense abeg.Its like begging for slots when you are not qulaified.Submit movies with local languages end of story.

India was colonized by the british but their movies that have won over time have been done in their language and we all watch with rapt attention

Geneivive and co should take note and stop arguing.It makes them look silly.

PS nobody is marginalizing them

Little children should not go anywhere alone unsupervised.

Should not play outside unsupervised.

Should not be left alone with strangers

Should not be left alone with dangerous substances

Should not be left alone in dangerous enviroments

A woman needs the help of her husband,family or maids if she has more than 2 children to achieve all listed above

The northereners are raising multitudes not for islam but to be prey to evil ideologies like boko haram and isis,ritualists and kidnappers.

Anyone supporting that evil is wrong and if you all believe in judgement you will all be judged for the blood of those children that ended up as victims

Lets all speak the truth for once abeg for the sake of other children so they have a better life.

Northerners allow little children loitter around aimlesslessly. Imagine the numerous children sold into slavery or to ritualists or organ harvesters.This is wrong.

Kids as little as 2 and 3 years.Yoruba and Ibo children even the children of the poorest do not loiter like that.Like someone said earlier even animals take care of their young with close supervision till they can fend for and take care of themselves.

Northereners should stop having more kids than they can take care of.They cannot be more pious than saudi,iran,qatar,bahrain,uae,and all the other muslim Nations

They definately should not complain either if the child was kidnapped whIle he had been abandonned to fend for himself by the same parents.Such parents should be condemed,not sympatized with

That is what their king is trying to say

A carrear path like every other thing in life is a choice

Burnas carrear path is established in the music industry where he does not need academic certificates.But he started somewhere,every carrear starts somewhere.Sometimes at the bottom of the ladder.

Like the mail room,the teller,the marketter,the intern.It starts somewhere that appears small.Everyone shoukd be willing to start and ignore the burna that has arrived and despised the possible begginings and opportunities that others may dream to have

A good man with influence inspires ,you do not kill the hopes or dreams of others.In that he has been irresponsible with his position which is a gift

To all young ones out there all great carrears started small.Dust that your certificate pick an industry regarless of your age and be a learner.Give it your best and one day You will grow and be great.

Its their laws Nigerians should respect it.

Nigeria should also do the needful.We wont complain about ghanians doing petty trading.BUT

Nigerian markets are the major destination of multiple goods from Ghanian companies.Up to 90% in sone cases.These companies provide jobs to Ghanians at the expense of Nigerians.No one is crying wolf yet.

Time to revisit the ECOWAS charter

Watch and learn all of you

I predict Nigeria rightfully pulling out of the ECOWAS free trade agreement for breech of contract.This 3 months will be a proof of concept

See those terms have always been in the ecowas charter to keep foreign goods transiting through other countries legally to a minimum

Imagine Benin appointing a customs official to escort all imported goods that pass through their sea port for Nigeria(cars,rice,oil,toothpick,matches,second hand clothes,shoes,bags,and the list goes on)

Benin,Niger,Cameroun and togo as a country (all francophone countries) became official smugglers and accomplices to smugglers when they:

1.Reduced cost of shipping and importation through their borders knowing fully well the goods were destined for Nigeria.PS Benin imports more rice than Nigeria through her sea ports

2.Reduced security scrutiny of imported goods not destined for their countries

3.Reduced sanctions and taxes on imported goods through their sea borders

4.Allowed foreign goods to be repackaged in their country

By so doing they have broken every honour in the ECOWAS agreement intended for the spirit of brotherhood

They have opened our country to security challenges

They have sabotaged our local industries and our trade and investment sector

If they cannot meet the terms in the next 3 months including destruction of all warehouses along the border route .Nigeria has every right to pull out of the agreement claiming sabotage.Watch and learn you all.


Lastly Next step. Nigeria should use this opportunity to address companies setting up in Ghana and selling a large proportion of their goods to the Nigerian market.

Renegotiate everything to make it unconducive for them.Nigerias market is her leverage.We must use it to favour us in growth and development putting Nigeria first

PS -Even Moroco was trying to join ECOWAS

To all those quetly sanctioning this illegality.To understand this think of that brotherhood in games of throne,


The risk is near that one day they will become uncontrollable in the hand of the wrong leadership and they will turn against their very employers

The Hisbah is functioning like a State police will anybody address that.

1.Why would an unconstitutional group arrest people not loiterring but at a private establishment

2.Why would they detain them against their will.Thays an arrest

3.Why will they make them do an HIV Test

4.Why will they parade them and publish report of said test

5.When did HIV become a crime

6.The HISBAH and their employers must be called to order they are another potential uncontrolled group sadly santioned by the state this time

stinflame:
were the children abducted in the name of religion?
This is a pure case of Kidnap and good enough CAN isn't interfering.

Like in the case of the Muslims were the entire community,the Imam and even their royal highness will be glad in keeping the abducted person hostage.

Read the case of ESE Rita Oruru and know the difference.

Like the case of the chibok girls as well.A large group of christian girls were kidnapped and sold into slavery till today,thos released where converted and made to wear hijabs in their release pictures long after they had left the terrorists,no muslim or christian publicly condemed that grevious picture of released Christian kidnapp victims all in hijab abi na niquab..the long one.

All reporters in this matter must focus on the crime and the issue,its kidnapping any other form of reportage should be seen as hate speech

Northerners should also stop their children from roaming around and becoming easy prey to this in the name of almajiri.It is the duty of parents to protect their wards

Kidnapping is evil.We must all voice out to stop it

The case of children kidnapped from churches in the south and south west in the last 2 years has been on a rise.This was previously unheard of

My point is this is not about conversion but about kidnapping.And the scourge affects both muslims and christians. We must not loose focus of that.The complaints make it sound like it would have been okay if the kidnappers had assigned them to muslim caretakers

We need to focus on how to end the scourge.How to make it less lucrative.How to tackle it in the system to make sure culprits and victims are found.Even if it means DNA tests at key points in a childs life

The last thing this is about is the fact that the children were converted,they should never have been kidnapped in the first place


imagine if they had never been found,imagine the multitudes that may have been sold into slavery? christian and muslim

Happy birthday to the pretty lady.May she grow in grave and favour.

Congrats to her parents

This is wrong....the mob are the judge jury and executioner in this case.

The police should please do the needful find the ringleaders and random spectators in the mob and try them properly with a fine and sentence as a deterent to others in future.

Many innocents have been misjudged in such mob actions and treated cruelly they could be someone close to you .They are someones children.This must stop,even if they are guilty

Wao,so impressed by the comments.Nigerians in the majority are united on this one except the smugglers,impostors and National omo ale alatenujes .And the verdict is .......the border remains closed.


If you want to sell to Nigeria use our sea port and airports...if you want to sell to other countries from Nigeria..please do the same.thats not an unreasonable demand.

Any nation thats not with us on this (till we get our bearing right on next steps) is not for us.

Meanwhile all the companies that relocated to Ghanas should pay duty and taxes to nigeria to bring goods in.Nigeria should consider renegotiating any ECOWAS agreement that stops that

I was waiting for the Ghanian official statement and here it is.Ghana is hiding under regional integration to challenge Nigerias soveriegn decision to lock up its border in its interest.

No mention of how other West Africans have sabotaged Nigerias open borders at the detriment of Nigeria.No mention of regional plans to address this only that regional inyerest superceeds National interest. Re translated this means the joint interest of benin togo and ghana and co superceedes our security,self sustainance in food,monetary policy etc

Heres my advice to Goverment.Continue in this traction please.Shun every agreement that assaults the sovereignty of our Nation viz a viz..our control over our borders,our money and our ability to Govern ourselves by our own laws

Identify the ,West African Nations that appear not to have our interest at heart and interact with them accordingly

Why are ghanians complaining so much about Nigeria closed borders.why all the insults now.Air and sea aCess still remains available


Nigeria is a soveriegn state.we can do pretty much what we want with our borders.Thats what it means to be a soveriegn state.Any agreement that rids a nation of that priviledge robs it of its soverignity.except Ghana wants to start controlling Nigeria.

Nigerias air and sea borders are open.If they were not smuggling and paying their taxes dutifully to Nigeria,then using our sea borders wouldnt make so much of a difference in their trade costs

But we all know the drill...smugglers are the ones complaining.And that official data on the volume of trade with Ghana does not count all your smuggled goods which appears to be the in the majority with this outcry.

Its no longer bussiness as ussual.Use the right channels if you must trade with Nigeria.Insist Nigerians do so as well to trade with you.Simple

At least bullets and fake army uniform will stop entering Nigeria through the cotonou area...Dont know about Niger though.A large portion of those complaining are also criminals.

Aisha buhari is a great woman.Her publicists are superb masters of the game.

She has done well by been the bigger person when she need not have apologized.She has shown she puts the image of the Nation,women and her family first.Thats an honourable first Lady.Thats class

She has also succeeded in making Fatima and her arrogance the confirmed villian in the story.Thats what we know her for now,

the unrully overpriviliged brat that dared not just the first lady but the entire protocols of international relations,espionage and all institutions in charge ....and appears to be getting away with it.Thats her story we know so far

For the records I am a firm unpaid supporter of the President.But his handling of this matter is a huge dissapointment and a serious blight on my confidence in him as a person..

All this persons,the girl,her father and all should be issuing disclaimers by now for the sake of the Nations image...not granting interview to foreign media and laundering whoose image exactly the young childs image or her fathers own...

How hard is this..a few firm and clear instructions of expectations even if its for eye service sake...really how hard is it.

You guyz are deliberately derailing this matter.

Its about the nerve of a silly child to :

(1) Shoot a video of the first lady in a moment of uncomposure ,please note not in public but in the safest space in Nigeria... her private quaters in aso rock

(2)It is also about the nerve of this same "child" to not have deleted the video leading to iys ultimate release

(3) the efforntery of such a person to grant an uncensored interview to the foreign media months later castigating the WIFE of the president of a soverign state based on her "inbestigative journalism" in her private quaters

(4) This tells me this person believes they can get away with this and has apparently succeded.The fact that anybody justifies this is just plain stupod and evil.

This character has not insulted just Aisha Buhari...but the whole institution of Nigeria in charhe of security and espionage....shame on all who have a hand in this. Shame on all those who should speak up and are quiet.Big shame on the enablers of this child and her Father who has not chastised her.

At the vert least she owes Aisha Buhari and the entire nation an apology....not this show of arrogance..Those who love her should tell her this truth

Im annoyed that the girl is even granting interview.Whats her point exactly.Can anyone establish grounds on which she can be sued?

Security breach for example...any legal grounds?

Stupid girl.They want to tar and feather the first lady.In her own house.Shame on them.

Where were they when she was campaigning for her husband for over 12 years.Who knew them on the campaign trail.Did they even vote.And now taking and releasing videos of the first lady in her space.

The shame is not on the first lady but their over prividleged father that has allowed them this nonsense latitude.

Stupid hausa girl.I wish someone will find the grounds to sue them for breach of privacy.sebi she said its no longer their house but for aishas son.

They had better publicly apologize to her.Silly child

Ignorance has made you an endangered species

Which nonsense ignorance you paid propagandists that has probably sold out the nation and future generations to promote foreign and selfish agendas at the expense of your nation and its teeming youth population.If thats truly the case may what youve swallowed hook your neck while you vomit it all.

If the above is not the case but that you trully suffer from ignorance may this your sin against our nation be forgiven.

The law of demand and supply will take over rice will be cheaper as local supply increases

I repeat go to shoprite mamas pride a local brand has as little as 1kg bags sold for as cheap as 540 naira .Thats about the equivalent of your 1 module in the market you buy for 600 naira.

You are the ignorant saboteaur

xpool:
You are as dumb as your comment!
Nigeria has never been dependent on importation of food, we are self sustained on over 80% of our food need.
We don't import fufu, garrii, okro, pepper, egusi, palmoil, vegetable oil, salt, ogbono, groundnut, beens, maize, tapioca, wheat, vegetable, tomatoes, onions, chicken, beef, mutton, goat meat, cotton seed, bitter leaf, alubor, amala, tuwo, ugu leaf, banga, yam, sweet potato, cocoyam, iru, ogiri, dawadawa, etc

If importing rice can beat down the price to at least N10k, then we need to import.
Please study the theory and law of Comparative Advantage in trade and production. And stop posting shallow comments.

You must live under a rock sir. Nigeria is largely dependent on importation.

Just so you know from that your ridiculous list we import the following a lot too...

Palm oil a lot, vegetable oil, pepper,tommatoes,Afang a lot of afang too...chicken a whole lot...eggs as egg powder.add milk too,salt and the list is endless..

We will grow our own rice in Nigeria and ban imports entirely shortly.Our 100 million strong yoiths will be the new millonaires championing the cause.

For thise who want cheap loval rice vist shoprote and spar if in the cities.Go directly to the farms if in the subburbs.A bag of unprocessed rice in an ogun state farm can be bought for as low as 4k.f
#fact

If you want parboiled processed rice.
Pay the true cost.. Till all boys become rich farmers and not at the expense of our foreign exchange and economy

Rice is the new road to wealth in Nigeria.Bene republoc and asain paid commentators should go and take a back seat

Paid think tanks and propagandists everwhere.Nigeria isnt opening her borders to rice ever.Deal with it.

And yes we will achieve self sufficiency in the rice value chain so long we keep the naysayer parasites away

PS borders must remain closed to rice at christmas

But you have strong self control whenbfaced with the same harrasment abroad? Why now
