Sonofwar:
You are right, their strategy was poor. Granted, dealing with an ambush is difficult but these guys didn't show much tactical expertise. Were they expecting the bandits to simply run away?

I believe dey go don blow siren to notify them of their presence...

tunde1200:
Even if your candidates won the election's it may be worst than now

11 police officers killed, u r talking about who won or lost elections...

U r pathetic, also did u read about indirect tax?

What should we call the monies bandits collect from farmers in katsina, kaduna, kebbi, sokoto etc before they are allow to farm?
Tax abi Charges?

Sonofwar:
I disagree with your submission. When an armed security outfit heads to a known bandits' location to confront them, then an ambush should be expected from the bandits

Very useless set of people.

I don't know whether dem no dey watch American movies...

Simple strategy, u don't move in one direction, spread incase of ambush.

Like all of them just move in at the same time, very anyhow force.

Them think say na extortion them wan gondo, make all of them know how much is involved.

A serious IGP would have deployed teams to that area to decimate the bandits, instead they r applauding the remaining fools who ran from the bandits with APC...
U carry tank then still run from fight...


Most of these guys entered Police force as available jobs just to make ends meet, they didnt dream of being a security guard.

LordBiden:
Sowore must be high on cheap crack.

Are you saying a two terms governor of an oil rich state like rivers cannot afford a mansion in USA without stealing state funds.

I still like wike,at least he is a performer and not like other politicians who steals and still don't perform in office.

The wife also earns huge income as a judge.

Even if they r paying Wike 5million naira every month as a Governor inclusive of allowance, and he doesn't spend 1kobo from his salary, for the 8yrs he was governor, his summed up salary was 480million naira.

One of the properties was bought at 1m dollars which is equivalent to 1.5billion naira.
How much is wike's salary as FCT minister?

Validated:
So to report crime and criminality is picking fight. I thought you were going to ask EFCC and ICPC to do the needful, but as usual you chose the corrupt route.

Na one of them defenders of thieves, meanwhile he has no car tyre to his name.

kunle4toyeyaho:
Go and learn the difference between tax and charges. We are talking about the National Tax Act not the CBN introduced charges.

What is indirect tax kumle?

kunle4toyeyaho:
Are operational charges by banks not different from statutory payments? Were those POS charges included in the various amendment in the Tax Act? CBN imposed charges are not the same with what is being discussed here,those charges are avoidable if you don't do those transactions. Can you avoid paying personal income tax?

The 50 naira charge was introduced just this year by Federal government, its unavoidable charge so far you receive above 10k in your account.

kunle4toyeyaho:
on the contrary,the new tax law is a sigh of relief. Unless you are a high income earner,your tax will definitely reduce. Pick a copy of the tax law and read up

Lemme tell u what we r currently experiencing now as POS agents..
I used Moniepoint POS terminal, nefore the charges was every 10k, na 50naira charge, 1k na 5naira, sonif a customer wants to withdraw 10k, we add additional 200 naira to it, our profit will be 149naira for every 10k we transact.
Today that 149naira has been taxed by Tinubu govt with 50naira.
Our profit from 10k is now 95naira.
U need to do like 20 transactions to make 1900, oru r lucky u make smaller withdrawals of 1k, 2k to 5k to be able to make something daily.
Then at the end u will transfer the money to an account that u want to go withdraw from since moneipoint doesnt run a cash bank service.
Another 50naira will be deducted from your account.
If u r using another bank card to withdraw from atm, they charge u 107.5 naira on every withdrawals.
Even if u withdraw 2k from Atm using another bank card, na 107.5naira they will charge u.
Nextyear the govt will now add up the entire sum of money that flow thru my account, and then tax me based on the accruals. Not knowing I'm running a POS business where funds enter and leaves...

NgeneUkwenu:
FAKE News fabricated by IPOB Obidients.

Why didn't he name rochas, ihedioha...


Till now we don't know what happened to those men they hurriedly arrested linked to the killings of those police men attached to the returning officer of imo state apc primaries that didn't announce uzodinma as winner.

WizardOfNG:
@OP.

The only thing you and your co-travellers in ignorance have succeeded doing is to show that primordial hatred of others can indeed comprise intellect and the ability to do basic research to then render even educated folks illiterate.

Tinubu made the valid and economically sound recommendation during COVID 19 while your messiah Obi and the Dubai-dweller Perennial Presidential candidate were silent and nowhere to be found.

This is a policy that made sense to the extent nations adopted it as an emergency strategy to fight a fearful epidemic that plunged humanity into uncertainty over human and economic survival.

Can you or your hero Obi argue economics with Tinubu you should be learning from yet always rushing to insult ? Shior.

Keep shooting yourself in the foot letting hate and emotions dominate your life to keep you ignorant and backwards.

Like the ones buhari contributed while he was in opposition during GEJ time?

The who is subsidizing who, subsidy is a scam bla bla bla, but came in and paid more for subsidy in 2yrs more than what pdp paid in 16yrs of ruling.

You guys r so pathetic n silly, sorry for those who r silly cos you people are more than silly.
You want opposition to give una what to use in running ur govt...

WizardOfNG:
Some of us have tirelessly made the same point Dogara makes now. The problem is that ignorance and ethno-religious hatred of other will not let many accept what is our truth and reality per the abysmal.staye of the economy Tinubu inherited.

Meaning he had to perform immediate and urgent surgery on a patient , I.e Nigeria, that was seriously sick and nearly dead.

The very ill patient was prevented from dying yet every reasonable person will accept a period of recuperation will be required to gain full health onwards to being a productive member of society.

That is what the Nigerian situation is from when PBAT took over till today. 2 years and 4 months into his Presidency.

Is that why he spent billions buying private jet and renovating mansion that adds nothing to the state purse?

Tinubu can't be absolved from this mess, when opposition were shouting especially concerning the occupation of bandits, all he could mutter was 'is Evans herdsman', shortly after bandits killed pa Fasoranti's daughter...

The only time tinubu spoke against apc govt was during campaign when he knew they wanted to use the naira redesign to stop him from buying votes.

But una been dey praise am while he was doing this rubbish.

When we from this other side were shouting, una dey call us Wailing wailers..


Stop Wailing mister dogara, moreover buhari is death.
Stop speaking ill about a dead man.

fragility1000:
This Uber driver has been accused by many people of robbing, kidnapping and even raping passengers.

When we talk about Nigeria not being a sane country, idiots go begin foam for mouth...
This particular thief has been trending since lastyear if I'm not mistaken, till now the NPF have deem it fit to arrest the culprit.
Until he murder someone, then they will act, that's if the someone is a child of an influential person.

Which kind country God send me come abeg...

Ikaeniyan0:
Please how old are you?😂

Please how young are you?

Ikaeniyan0:
Why did the PDP fail to build the road in 16 years?

Why did Jonathan fail to build the road in 6 years?

Tinubu was not the president between 2015 and may 28 2023.

During PDP regime, roads were not this bad..
You know why people are now using flight to far places?
Cos the roads r terrible, outside banditry and kidnappings...

Stop dissociating Tinubu from 2015 to 2023, he was an elderstate man, he praised Buhari to high heavens, he never criticize even when things went south. Yaradua nor Gej never dissociated themselves from PDP regime of Obj/Atiku.
Govt is continuum, if Tinubu thinks The govt he took over from messed up, he should do the honourable thing to probe them.
He shouldn't hide under fools like some of you to be attacking a govt under the same party.

Ikaeniyan0:
I'm not from the south south and i don't know much about the road because it's not really popular. But roads like Benin-Auchi,East West road, Benin-Asaba, etc were in bad condition. Even the road that leads to Otuoke was in bad condition till it was fixed by the APC

Do you have an evidence who i'm supporting is ever convicted of crime? The way you're talking about someone carrying drugs is so funny sha, person from the south east dey cry say person dey carry drug 😂

By their fruits, they r known!

Evidence choke.

Ikaeniyan0:
Hope you also know it's stupidity and cluelessness to be supporting Goodluck Ebele Jonathan a man who spent 6 years in power but couldn't fix the Uyo Calabar expressway?

During GEJ,. That road was constantly maintained, the longest hour you could spend on that road was 2-3hrs if there is gridlock caused by fallen truck...
Atleast I'm supporting someone who hasn't carried drugs and cocaine before.
Who has a known University and secondary school he attended.

Ikaeniyan0:
So you won't Tinubu to fix a road PDP didn't fix in 16 years in less than 3 years?

You want Tinubu to fix a road Buhari didn't fix in 8 years in less than 3 years?

Uyo to Calabar expressway is not the only expressway that's in a bad shape in Nigeria, if Obasanjo, Yardua and Jonathan built solid roads like Tinubu is building, we won't be where we're today.

I hope you're not one of the people who are supporting candidates and parties like PDP, ADC, Atiku, Tambuwal, and Obi sha?

The issue with u yorubas is you guys dissociate Tinubu's tenure from Buhari.
Apc has done 10yrs sofar, by 2027, that will be 12yrs., the road in question was reawarded by Buhari around 2018 if I'm not mistaken, this is 2025, 7yrs later the project hasn't reach 30%..

Ikaeniyan0:
Sometimes the way people like poiZon reason is so shocking. When construction started in VI and Lekki, this is the same way people like poiZon were claiming work it's not going on.

It seems they are paid to say this kind of things

Are you also paid to defend a project that we don't know how much it is to execute each KM?

Ikaeniyan0:
People like you are just bitter and frustrated. This is the same way some people like you were claiming there was no work going on at the Lagos section when work started.

Now, you too show me evidence work is not ongoing in Cross River and Akwa Ibom

Iam bitter and frustrated cos anytime i travel to uyo from Calabar, i spend more than 3hours, thats if there is no gridlock.
That is an existing road reawarded by Buhari in 2018, till now work hasnt even reach 30% if you sum up the entire project from Calabar to ikot ekpene.

I can't ignore a house that I'm living, which is leaking and having serious foundational fault and at the verge of collapse, run to another location, start building a new apartment, not just apartment, Duplex with borrowed funds...

That's stupidity, cluelessness...

Ikaeniyan0:
Are you guys paid to say this kind of things? Once you people hate someone like this, no matter what the person does, people like you will keep on hating.

Work is ongoing in Akwa Ibom and Cross River section of the road

I passed the cross River section along Akamkpa road, saw the signpost, no truck was there.

If work is ongoing, abeg help us snap pix today make we see.

Likewise Akwaibom axis..

Hitech just enetered Cross River to continue the section of Calabar-Odukpani-Itu road awarded to
Julius Berger which was revoked by Umahi.
If they were so busy, nothing for bring them come that tiny portion they just award to them.

Cross River and Akwaibom axis of this project was flagged off early this year, Not even 1 truck is on site.
They just graded the surface for their photo shoot n ribbon cutting, and OTILO.

AsgardKing:
We want to be like the developed world but don't want to do the work. Do these guys think that the i-10 and i-20 in America flew down from the skies?

America is X10 of Nigeria or so yet connected by good roads. These skeptics would have left America as a village if you let them govern with their negativity. Nothing is worth comending.

You guys don't get the argument, fix existing roads that r in deplorable conditions before you embark on projects that won't be completed during your life span.
Also you r borrowing to do a project that will take more than 10yrs at the current speed to be completed, what if the next occupant of Aso Rock decide not to continue on that project especially if he comes in and check the books seeing so many errors, inflated figures and whatnots?


Go to Akwaibom, the Ibom specialist clinic built n commissioned by akpabio, there is an abandoned facility in that complex, when Udom came in, in the transition documents the project was 100% completed, commissioned and opened to the public, meanwhile most contractors were not paid, the second building wasnt fully equipped, they just hurriedly commissioned the first building cos He(Akpabio) was rounding up his tenure as governor.

LegendHero:
If this is true as alleged, make Alhaji bring Naija own N65 lower

If he lowers it, people will buy here n smuggle it to Togo, benin n other countries to sell at higher price.

Atleast dangote don help Nigerian govt n customs solve smuggling of petroleum products.

Kudos to him.

Imagine Common keke napep being sold for 3.6meter...

Mini bus at 4.8meter

Common wheel barrow wey people dey buy take carry waste, na more than 100k now.

Now people dey buy wheel barrow take push people, no be waste or dirty again

Lithiumite:
It was over 90% before tinubu.....you need to know how to read and contextualize......this even vindicates tinubu that the country needs to earn more and his tax drive is not entirely out of place......imagine still paying petrol and dollar subsidies with this debt crisis.

There was no record, viable records to show that we spent 90kobo to service debt from every 1naira we earned.

Do you know what it means to spend 90% of ur earnings in servicing debt?

That means you r left with 10percent to share to the 3 tiers of govts...

Just like they lied that the 15billion dollars rehabilitated refineries were working at 80percent, what can't these people not say to lift their ego...

There r still planning to borrow to fund projects that they won't complete in their life span..

Discontinue the Lagos-calabar coastal road for now, use the remaining funds to fix the existing roads that r in deplorable conditions.

Toll the roads..

Let the road generate funds for its future maintenance.

Cut wasteful spending for now, prioritize projects that will add values to Nigerians n its economy.
All these 50k grants just to buy poor people votes should be discontinued ASAP.

This is what a sensible Govt should do now...

But ronus said Tinubu has reduced debt servicing to almost 0...
But what we r seeing in this article is, in every 1naira we earn, 61kobo is used in servicing debt...
And they r still borrowing till tomorrow, so before next year, debt servicing will take atleast 80% of every naira earned.

Lets go there.....

Jughead29:
This is a Big brain. I love that

More of this GPS tracking system will boost national security.

I will suggest each State Government to adapt a drone security system to monitor all activities across their states including in and out of the border. Security problems will drastically be wiped out except they have hands in all this

Did NIN fix Kidnapping or banditry problem?

ogugwa1992:
https://growingnigeria.com/articles/cbn-charges-gps-tracking-on-all-pos-terminals-in-nigeria

Every POS terminal is registered with a bvn, NIN and it has an identity.
If you think they used a POS terminal to scam, withdraw ur funds, then the money in that account will first be transferred to another account that has a registered details from BVN, NIN n his/her address. If CBN has not solved any of these issues in the past, then this new whatever will never solve crime, kidnapping and fraudsters doing their thing.
We have the most nonchalant institutions that r not ready to solve simple bank issues.
Common to rectify fail transactions n wrong transactions, na wahala...
Your only solution to common issues is to shut down the entire system so nobody can operate.
I tag this blanket solution cos by so doing they might end up shutting service in a particular area in the course of one POS terminal roaming out of his area.
