PoliticsRe: FG Hires Lawyers In Saudi Arabia To Facilitate The Release Of Zainab Habib by phineas: 10:31am On Apr 30, 2019
cmrendowed:
Nigeria my country I don’t have anything against the Government doing the needful for her but have we forgotten Leah sharibu a Christian held captive by Boko Haram that is not even involved in any form of conspiracy
This thread is for the zainab girl to be released. We can do both. Ask for Leah's release as well but zainab must also be released this is of utmost priority and we must all speak with one voice

When the issue of set up came up I knew this was their plan.the poor and less valued ethnic groups are the peaple who are been used for blood sacrifice in Nigeria.oncel it effects the rich or the most valued ethnic groups in Nigeria the narrative will change.
Let me make it clear that am not saying the girl should be executed but why all the sudden intrest from the north and Nigeria government.innocent Nigerians die everyday in so that Africa and the government for once hasn't address such barbaric act.the case in India is same.may God help us.
So what exactly are you saying? You are accountable for your speech verbal or written in this life or after, I repeat what is your stand exactly

Every innocent person has the right to appeal, every father must fight for the life of his offspring when wrongly accused such as this case.She is innocent she must not die that's the only conversation here.

First off I appreciate the fact that you replied without insulting me and I believe you may have a valid argument.
These arguments are not valid to the issue at hand. This is about a lady who did not check in an extra luggage accused of checking in one and presently on death row

Ask yourself this your statement does it serve her case or works against it. Did you see her use drugs.Are all northern youths on drugs. If the answers are no why exactly are you raising this here.
PoliticsRe: FG Hires Lawyers In Saudi Arabia To Facilitate The Release Of Zainab Habib by phineas: 10:05am On Apr 30, 2019
Let us not be irresponsible with our comments

Let us not loose our humanity

This is an innocent girl(till proven guilty) travelling with her family wrongly accused of a crime punnishable by death.Her family has maintained and demonstrated proof of her innocence And some uncouth people still speak against her on this site

Your words are seeds you sow for yourself and your children. Ask yourself as you respond on this what seeds am I sowing

Back to the matter at hand the Govt should facilitate her release. ALL Nigerians should clamour for her release. Social media youths,this is an example of a worthy cause

But most importantly all case files of Nigerians arrested for drugs where they pled innocence should be revisited for the last 60years.The airport cartels should be identified up to the last 60years and brought to book.This is the most important aspect of this case.

Ask yourself is it possible the Ibo brothers we keep hearing their names were also framed they are afterall the most frequent travellers and would be the most susceptible

We must not stay silent on this. We must not loose our humanity. Evil thrives when good men stay silent
CrimeRe: Again, Police Raid Abuja Clubs, Arrest 70 Women by phineas:
The country must be guided by the laws of the land not the moral code of a few or the majority. This is very important cos anyone can come up with any rule at any time and abuse the rights of others if this assault is allowed to stand

If there are no laws against clubbing and strip dancing then their arrests are illegal. The arresting officers must be identified 1 by 1 and sanctioned. The DPO approving this must also be sanctioned

The ministry of culture should be called to order for it's unguarded utterances. The law of the land is sacrosanct. The law of the land must prevail.



This is a call to the Attorney General to please interpreted the laws of the land to all involved.
PoliticsRe: Zamfara Killings: Miyetti Allah Profers Solutions by phineas: 8:17am On Apr 07, 2019
Picking up ALL unregistered almajiri kids by Government for compulsory registeration in foster care is the solution .This is the greater threat. As at 2017 there were over 3000 000 almajiri kids on the streets of Kano. That's more than the population of Malawi

An entire ""country"" of young ,untrained ,poor ,hungry potential bandits that can be turned against society. That society as also failed.

Almajiri MUST not be allowed to continue as it is. For those who insist on an almajiri system.

(1)All Their kids must first all be almajiri in another state.

(2)The Imamns must have all kids in their care registered,photographed and thumbprinted

(3)National(not state) social welfare must visit them impromptu and they use be able to produce all the kids on demand.

(4)they must guarantee education and skills acquisition to the kids

(5)the kids must have the option of exiting the program and they must be asked every time what their choice is

(6)Parents who cannot care for their kids anymore should have a system where they can be given up legally and with dignity for adoption or supported by Government with conditional stipends


We need entire ministries with large budgets for abandoned kids. This is beyond women affairs and their paltry excuse of a budget. This is about the future of the country


Almajiri as it is been run presently CANNOT be allowed to continue. EVIL thrives when good people stay silent
PoliticsRe: Onnoghen Resigned To Avoid Being Dismissed - Prof. Itse Sagay by phineas: 7:35am On Apr 07, 2019
TGM2015:
To the extent of my knowledge, there is currently no court of law, even the regulatory bodies for judges (NJC) including Onnoghen himself, that have absolve him of the charges to which saw him being suspended and shamefully resigned. That is, the case of not declaration of active domiciliary accounts, which he himself has publicly acknowledged in written without being under duress.

But on the criminal charges of misuse of power, money laundering and bribery allegations, which I assumed you are referring to here, I have no much comments on that but for NJC to have recommended compulsory retirement pleading for full benefits for him and Onnoghen himself to have rescue himself by resigning voluntary (an option he vowed with heaven and earth not to take), I doubt if he is not guilty of the charges he is accused of. More evidently, I don't doubt the Joe Agi bribery part.

On a personal note, I have been suspecting the man, since his judgement on 2015 River State gubernatorial case. Wike has celebrated his victory at Supreme Court the Sunday before the judgement, though the judgment is technically right but literally is it a wrong judgment. Even if the constitution is Supreme (use of voter register), the same constitution empowered INEC to give guidelines to make elections fair. If INEC based on his constitutional power gave out guidelines to make elections credible by electronic accreditation, the law should not be blind to that by pronouncing that the total number of votes cannot be invalidated by reasons of being more than the total number of votes accredited by the use of card reader but only when it is more than total registered voters.

May I tell you that, that same judgement is what give rise to the problem we faced in 2019 General elections that was considered not credible because politicians has been given the confidence that the use of Card Readers is not known to current any recognised Nigeria laws, unlike in 2015 where there are fear that, it is only votes by accredited voters using the card readers that will count.

This man destroyed our democracy and has given succor to corrupt politicians and public servants.
This is sad if true.
If indeed that judgement set a bad precedent deliberately against due process.
PoliticsRe: MC Oluomo: NURTW Is A Profession Like Medicine, Law And Engineering by phineas: 3:48pm On Mar 23, 2019
Very soon you will all be shouting not too young to run and expect Governance to be handed over to you all cos of your relative immaturity and age

If you do not know the key significance of the NURTW to Nigeria especially in the west, you do not deserve to lead cos it's their Akata type that will scatter rather than improve things.I will help with a few bullet points

1.Organization9

The union is a card carrying system. Every member is identified and they have executives. They are so organized that they have I'd cards that act as a sort of national I'd for them it is even linked to a money wallet or financial institution.

The reason people don't get missing when they board an intercity bus in an approved park in the west is the NURTW.Those forms you register means they actually collate data and can relatively account for their passengers

They have rules... Customer redress and compulsory safe keeping of missing items is one of them. They ensure a vehicle go for stranded customers on a highway from the next park. Just go the NURTW and describe what your complaint is and they will address it faster than customer complaints of modern transport companies.Same for finding missing ite
To reach all the books and crayons of a state in a jiffy with logistics items.Talk to NURTW.

To make a strike effective and cripple transportation you know who to go to


2.Security

Let's say your toothbrush as insignificant as it may seem gets missing in Lagos. Or say your phone gets stolen by riffraffs. They know how to help find the culprits. Why do you think crime stats for Lagos compared with cities with its population per square meter is so low. NURTW keeps the street in check. They are a necessary balance o. The streets. They are the real street. If in doubt, call a pasuma show on any street in Lagos and see the turn out.

The alleigance of the boys is to their exco.

Ask how house on the rock guarrantes security during it's concerts in the car park. Or how occupy Nigeria was crisses free.

I

3.Health
There is no successful nationwide campaign to all wards without their involvement.They joined in the interstate screen for Ebola. And ensure all members comply



I could go on. But I will simply say the wise leader knows to harness their strength to keep the street in check. A wise leader would help their structure stay unscathed and help them weed out the anarchists. A good cop will align with them for information.A good citizen would speak supportive words and ask them to stay straight

Now back to our youths. They believe all NURTW members are touts and ask that they are arrested. The youths thinks they are better han these men Who go out daily to work even for little pay. These same youths want Governance to be handed to them because they are not too young to run.

You cannot be the judge,jury and the executioner. That's what jungle justice is.

It's better to let 100 guilty persons to be set free than to wrongly sentence an innocent man to death. That's what jungle justice does

Someone anyone needs to start analyzing jungle justice videos for pepertuators and those who stand by watching silently in support.Those who stand and watch are equally as guilty.Their silence is consent.

PoliticsRe: Court Declares Nigeria’s Deportation Of Cameroonian Separatists Illegal by phineas: 8:53am On Mar 04, 2019
If they had valid passports and had not broken any law deporting them was bad..

Some were even married to Nigerians probably even citizens.The e options were to revoke their passports and give them x days to leave the country.Not deport them outrightly to a place they would be tortured or killed when they had not broken the laws of your land

That was morally wrong. The Giverment owes it to them to at least check on their welfare and ensure international Human Rights standards are met. They should also ensure this bad judgement as precedent
is corrected .
PoliticsRe: Vote Out ‘The Tyrants’ - Jimi Agbaje Tells Lagosians Ahead Of March 9 by phineas:
Lagos is working. Tinubus legacy is a good one. If in doubt. Compare the IGR of Lagos this year with its IGR 10 years ago. The difference is enormous. And it's clearly spent on projects in the city

It takes a lot to keep its security in check in a city with such a small land mass and a population of its size.Same with infrastructural development, health,transportation and education

PoliticsRe: IGP decries unwarranted, unprovoked attack on DCP FSARS by phineas: 5:38am On Feb 26, 2019
Under no circumstance should a police officer be treated like that.

At best take his picture and file an official complaint. If we allow our police force be ridiculed like this (a DCP) for that matter.We allow a trend that tampers seriously with the respect for law and order.

All those guys with their hands on the DCP must be brought to book. Their pictures are there. It should be done quickly too to serve as a deterrent to others in future. Also to ensure the lone policeman will always be safe by virtue of the authority in his uniform

Lastly the DCP should be investigated. If they can provide 1 shred of video or pictorial proof of him snatching the ballot box.He should be prosecuted as well so others know this is how things ought to be done

I do not support thuggery or this man's lifestyle but this is daughter is a commendable woman for standing by her father

This is what children are for. To answer on your behalf when and where you cannot speak

She could have kept quiet ashamed of him or his legacy ,she could have quietly dissociated herself from his brand and carve a new identity (miss something) instead she not only identified with her dad she spoke up in his defence

She's free to disagree with him in private but in trying times in the public eye family sticks together

when you guys post this type of rubish i just marvel. As in where and where have you been to that gave you the audacity to think you can speak for the rest of us?
smear campaign can not work but you guys are masters at it online. Why spend so much to fund BMC if snear campaigns dont work? hehehe
what is even wrong with you people? which northen Nigeria? is it Zamfara that BH are slaughtering every week or Benue, Taraba, plateau and so on that the herds men have turned to a killing field? We knw you are blinded by your quest to clinch the ticket of the APC in 2023, but the only problem is the South west is on their own on that one. You guys can stay over there in one brown roofed hole and be making your assumptions, but please leave out the rest of us ok? Nigerians wont vote Buhari even if all the Yorubas vote for him, we dnt give a rat arse about your ambition, your decision or what you intend to do, just stop making it seem you are speaking for the rest of us.
What has Buhari done for the ordinary people in the so called villages you mentioned that made you lump them into your foolish assumptions? The rest of the entire North has absolutely nothing to show for the almost 4 years of Buharis presidency, Buhari knows that, which is why they are now using d divide and rule tactics and religious sentiment which has also failed. Come campaigns Atiku will ask the people of Kano, Jigawa, Sokot, Southern Kaduna, Kebbi, Bauchi, Adamawa, Plateau, Benue, And so on what Buhari have done for them since 2015 they voted for him. Hehehe Bros my ht.
Such a long post, Atiku is not a better option in terms of National Interest.Thats the topic. End of story.

The clear choice in 2019 is Buhari Vs Atiku.

Atiku is not the man who will choose National interest above self.This is my clear assessment of a man who r was absent in the final handover ceremony when he was VP with Obadnajo.Dunno why he shunned the ceremony but he should have been there. He should have picked National interest over self regardless of his personal beef with OBJ

Mass smear campaign will not cost Buhari the election. The smear campaign is for internet few, a lot of whom don't even have their voters card.

The communities especially rural in northern and western Nigeria will vote for APC. Deal with it
