Ban the influx of illegal foreign Islamic immigrants from Muslim majority countries who want to practice sharia law in the uk 🇬🇧.
This should be the priority for now not social media
Don't mind the coward, UK has a much higher threat from the arabs terrorists. 15 years from now, they will all be Muslims.

Way to go!

Finally, the push for "humanity" gets a clarion call.

No more losing our brothers, sisters, kids, cousins, nephews and nieces mind to a soul-less universe where ALL is possible; evil and good, but, where unfortunately, Evil triumphs disproportionately in the battle for the minds and souls of our young.

Both of them are evil that need to be stopped. Someone said he didn't want bullet death, but he is drinking poison that causes Irreversible damage to both his kidney and liver,is it not the same death.

United nations must step in.
Is your sarcasm based on your school na scam illiteracy due to Tinubu's Lagos master plan leadership of governors in other states to steal money that should employ teachers to make education free for all children?


How are under 16 equal to people in this context huh

Ratio of public to private schools in Lagos State is one to 22 ― Commissioner
September 4, 2022

The Lagos State government has said the ratio of public to private schools at both primary and secondary school levels in the state is one to 22.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, gave the revelation in her remark at the 2022 edition of the Total School Support Seminar Exhibition (TOSSE) held at Oregun in Ikeja between Thursday and Friday.

Western countries also ensure that pipe borne water is supplied to all households unlike our country where people are drinking water from shitty boreholes to develop kwashiorkor potbellies.

Do you think that this is one of the fundamental reasons why Nigerians are praying and fasting for japa visas to help oyinbos and Asians develop their countries better than ours huh

The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.

It is by far better than Enugu.

500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.

But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

In 15 years, master strategist Jagaban of Borgu with his Mu_Mu Arewa People's Congress, APC ticket and negotiations with terrorists and kidnappers while locking up Igbo freedom fighter Kanu, would have turned all of us into Arab terrorists.

Should you be more concerned about that rather than what is happening in the UK huh

Ban on social media for under 16 is a good call. Marrying and having sex with 9 year old girls/child rape is an Islamic call.

Way to go. It's unfortunate that even crimes committed with that age bracket such as dating or clubbing was based on a lie by the so called eventual victim who probably lied about their age.

Nigerian government should also do the same.

This is the kind of topic that a Poll should have been attached to, to easily see how many people agree or disagree with the decision to ban under-16 kids from social media.
Re: UK PM, Keir Starmer Bans Social Media For Under-16s by Kobicove(m): 10:03am On Jun 15
This is a good decision

When Australia did it I knew it was only a matter of time before the rest of the world followed suit!

Who would have known except those who have traveled and seen how things are done differently?

Nairaland and it's bots na APC supporters. As long as you speak something tangible against them, you'll chop 1hr ban.

For this to work, they have to make social media not anonymous. China does this. Seems they were right all along.

Lol.... I'm surprised you still bother yourself about Nigeria.
Nigeria is a lost cause, the earlier you accept that the better for you.

The only viable option and recovery of Nigeria.

1. Is doing the needful, like we once had in Ghana and China.

The Ghana June 4th Revolution (1979)Leader: Lt. Jerry John Rawlings. What Happened: Deep economic decay, rampant corruption. The "House Cleaning": Rawlings established the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) and executed several former heads of state and senior military officers in an attempt to purge the country of corruption before quickly handing power to a democratically elected civilian government.

The Chiba1911 Xinhai Revolution also known as the Chinese Revolution of 1911, this movement overthrew the Qing Dynasty (China's last imperial dynasty) and ended more than 2,000 years of imperial rule.The Spark: Sparked by a military mutiny in Wuchang on October 10, 1911, public dissatisfaction with government corruption, foreign interference, high cost of living and failed internal reforms boiled over.

Li Jianping (2024): A former senior official in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Li was executed for embezzling roughly 3 billion yuan (over $421 million USD). His crimes—which also involved colluding with criminal syndicates—mark one of the largest financial corruption scandals in the state's history.

Bai Tianhui (2025): The former general manager of state-owned financial giant China Huarong Asset Management Co., Bai was executed for taking 1.1 billion yuan (approx. $156 million USD) in bribes

Corrupt Nigeria politicians are walking free, courtesy of corruption justice system.


2. Secondly, 200 million Nigerians standing up, take to the street and dish out justice like we once had in France.

The French Revolution (1789–1799) was ignited by a convergence of severe socio-economic crises and political upheaval. The five primary drivers were rigid social inequality, corruption,national bankruptcy, devastating food shortages and mismanagement of resources by the elites

Unfortunately, Nigerians are docile and not ready to fight for their rights. Instead they continue to praise their oppressors.

So better focus on yourself for your sanity's sake.
