EFCC if you're reading this, go to Rounder-Ayetoro road under Abeokuta North LG. Many illegal mining going on there!

I was utterly disappointed as it was not skull mining...

You think the Chinese will just mine without having a green light?

Can Nigerians go to China and mine like this?

Why do countries underrate us like this?

This has been going on for years, and it’ll keep happening—nothing changes, no one gets arrested. Smuggling’s still happening right now. Your ports are wide open, flooded with fake documents and greased palms. Tin Can and Apapa are the worst, especially Tin Can—it’s a damn highway for contraband.

o ti lo bayen

Cna this be put beyond the traditional rulers of the affected place.?

These ones are just the errand boys, the big boys will most likely secure their release.

When will they start arresting those in Katsina, Zamfara and Niger?

They already know. This is Nigeria. I won't say more than that.

you think they don't know? EFCC just used these ones to give a clue to the rest miners. Time to drop something. Go to zamfara and see illegal gold mines guarded by police and military.

They should go and arrest in the north. Nonsense agencies

Who going to campaign for their release, Abi dem no belong to the cult of the untouchables ni?

You’re really a territorial skull-fairy. You don’t want anyone tapping into your skull culture.

Only true federalism can produce that kind of local resources, the anti regional govt know this and that’s why they are against going back to regional system.
