Then you should be asking DSS for compensation not Femi
That is the US,that's their law. There's no moral obligation why they must do so. The same isn't even applicable in many other developed country.

It is the duty of the speaker of house of representative to ensure justice for the man since the man who shot him dead worked for him!

Wait until any of ur loved one gets shot, u will understand better..

And yes, this is applicable in all sane countries. They dont joke with human lives.. Like i said, in Nigeria, human lives are cheap, too cheap that u can even hire someone with less than 10k to kill another person..

So, not surprised at ur outrage..


Let me give u an illustrator:

Someone works for me, he kills another person while working for me... It is my duty to ensure that the person killed gets justice and no amount of money they ask is too much. I can go into negotiation with them.. Not even 1 billion dollars is worth a human life. No amount can buy a life. SIMPLE BRO.

Wait unto someone kills ur child, or ur mom, or ur father, or ur wife, etc, then, u can understand and speak ur english and ur tribalism trash..

"His aid killed the man"
In a sane country,what happened is between the victim and that aid. You won't be getting shit!

His Aid is a govt employed staff who works for the security institution..

It is either DSS compensate the family or the top Govt official the Aid works for.

This victim who was killed by a police officer, his family was paid 20 million dollars by the county police institution from where the officer who shot the man worked.
Here is the headline: "Family of man slain by Prince George’s police officer reaches $20 million settlement with county"

I can go on and on..

Nigeria is a shithole. It is a useless country. Human lives are so cheap! The best thing u can do for ur next generation is never to born a child here bro. Life is too cheap here and the masses dont know their right.

The family asking for 500 million is little compared to his life. Nothing, nothing is worth a person's life becus u cant buy it. Not even the richest man can buy life with his money.

Nigerians hate one another and that is what the politicians capitalize on to milk and maltreat u people. Shame! Some of u who carry tribalism for head will still lament when whites call una monkey and dish una racism. Shame no dey catch u guys in this country!

There is no sane country where security agent kills a citizen without the govt compensating the family. So, it is either DSS compensate the family of the man or the govt official the security works for compensate the family or the institution where the govt official works compensate the man. Or all, come together to compensate the man's family. The man's kids will never ever see their father again. No amount of money is worth a person's life..

Until someone shoots ur only child, ur mother, ur father, or ur wife, then u will understand that no amount of money worth the life wasted.

Nigerians are so used to poor governance. Shame.

BeLookingIDIOT:
OSU's are banking on the benevolence of Yoruba's to cash out.
The speaker after visiting and promising to care for the wife and child- things he had no obligation to do,things non of their leaders have done. Yet they still reasoned,"let's amass great wealth from this Yoruba man"

Are u kidding me? In a sane country, his family would be properly and adequately compensated for life..

Chaii, Nigerians are the reason their leaders maltreat them!

What can be equated with life? What? Nothing!

"Amass wealth from this yoruba man' You say? His aid killed the man, he is not paying him self, the speaker is paid! If it happened to be a sane country, either the DSS or the National Assembly will surely compensate the family properly and for life. Is it because life is so cheap in Nigeria? Chaii! This country doesnt deserve any unborn child from anyone. It is useless

cappucino925:
are you the one that designed the animation on your profile picture?

No!

I think Nigeria is the only country where her major cities have open sewage systems

and so disorganzied

Me sef go soon run

Igbos and yorubas on nairaland are fo olish

Always disgracing them selves while northerners keep preparing for breakup by linking wella with Niger Republic using their resources from southern Nigeria and VAT mainly from southerners. Shame no dey catch yorubas and igbos for nairaland

Someone called u black money, call him white money.

Why do we always cry over everything as a race?

Why can't we also racially abuse these same whites?

Must we cry? If they had killed that man now, they would have landed in trouble for murder.

seunmsg:
It is not an offense if they follow the constitutional process of removing the president. However, it becomes an offense when they attempt to remove the president through insurrection.

Protesting for a politically elected leader to resign is not an offence bro.

A president and his entire cabinet resigned recently amid protest by citizens of his country.

Black race doesn't know anything about democracy. Shame on this race.

Now, this is what I call a National Assembly, not the rubbish we have here..

Charlesdock:
You stay in Ibadan?

Currently in ibadan

Charlesdock:
Abeg boss we fit connect too. I stay in Ibadan though.
I'm also learning this programming too.

We may connect together and learn together... It maybe easier that way at Ibadan

Federal agencies are made up abokis.

That is where they can occupy based on quota system and faulty political arrangements.

Bring them to private and merit driven sector, u won't see them again.

olaboy1:
I would say this here is the first step before revamping our energy sector. What I saw in Abuja and the way the northerners are dolling out cash, cars and foreign holidays to “runs girls” made me quickly realize Nigeria needs regional system of governance. It’s a long drive to Abuja to do any demonstrations against the corrupt elites, but much easier to drive to a regional headquarter to look into what the government is doing.
A poor country like Nigeria will soon sink in debt without closing the lids of all the embezzlement happening in Abuja.

https://www.nairaland.com/6271755/ladies-whats-most-expensive-gift/4

That is it: People cant travel far and wide to Abuja to protest about electricity! As u said, regional based system is far better..

That way, people can hold their leaders accountable better!

If nigeria fails to do this, Nigeria will become a crises. It is already happening!

PhiliptheArab:
So how do we icrease purchasing power in nigeria?
I know government gives everyone a job and dashes people money, with low oil prices

The first thing is to completely change the current system becus it makes the component federations weak and lazy.. The current system makes the central govt extremely rich and extremely far from the real people who matters..

A UK six nation based system or the American true federalism will work better...

This way, u can hand over real governance powers to the federating states and they can have control over how they manage their own running cost, electricity, tax, security, etc. This way, the regions/states become more viable, compete better and source for better ways to generate income.. A business friendly society will attract men and women who already have the money to come in and invest, these people pay tax, pay local workers better, these local workers who are better paid will now have better purchase power, they will increase their purchase which will generate more fund for the govt!
This way, the various regions/states can do away with quota system and embrace merit driven society, this will surely help produce more vibrant minds to run the affairs of their regions/states.
As it stands, states/ regions dont have control over the real factors that determine the success of a society. This is bloody for a large country like Nigeria.

If we are not ready to do this, we cant make progress. We have been on this our system for decades. It cant work, it will never work. I just pray we will not get sense when it is already too late.

The current system is too central for progress..

Raydos:
Southern Africa countries are doing pretty well, But Western Africa is the most backward region!!

We're too corrupt in this part of the world

Someone has said it o.

I was saying it here and one yeye guy was attacking me.

West Africa is one of the most backward regions.

Southern Africa is doing well, they have miss of whites. They have poor citizens too but are not as criminally minded as most Nigerians and west africans

Until we restructure our political system, nothing for this country o.

As for now, na so so interest in which region produces the next president we are interested in. Nigeria is cursed

PhiliptheArab:
We don't have these kind of streets in nigeria because we are not ready to pay the kind of taxes that would fund and maintain those kind of streets.

In the UK, if you are living in the city, you pay council tax which ranges from 60000 to 100000 naira monthly depending on the city. That money goes into making the cities look nice

That's why uk cities have great streets.

If we charged that kind of tax in Nigeria, Nigerians would scream.

So we pay scanty taxes and get scanty and bad roads

The bad roads we have in Nigeria are what we can afford. The sad thing is that looting still happens on top

U can't charge such tax with less than 100 dollars minimum wage.

Increase the purchasing power ur country citizens and increase their tax.

These countries, after tax, citizens still have enough to live a higher middle class life.

So, no be tax matter. The little citizens are paying here from their poor minimum wage, what has the govt done with it?

Most of u don't know that the major problem with Nigeria is her political structure. This system can't work even in gbe next 50 years. It will only keep getting worse.

gidgiddy:
Wike will not be Governor forever. Some day, he will surely face justice for every drop of blood that was spilled in Obigbo

He won't..

Obasanjo did worse, he is moving all over the world..

Buhari did and he is moving.

Bro, the world loves the way naija is that is why no leader in the world has held any Nigerian leaders accountable.

gidgiddy:
Wike will one day face justice for Obigbo massacre

Lol
He won't bro. No be today Nigerian presidents begin kill Nigerians.

They have done it over and over again and nothing has happened...

They will still do it in the future.

techmo:
Well that's for Aboki to respond to, am proudly Yoruba and one thing Osinbajo gave us is standard guage rail, while Ibo leaders in power did nothing with power but loot


.

My brother, stop deceiving ur self. Igbos in power are not in control of anything..

From west to east to Noth to south, Nigeria is wack.

Nigeria is wack. Travel out and u will cause the rest of the lives u spent here.

Soldiers telling citizens safe trip to go into the Bush to rescue their own daughters and sons is the crazy.

East, West, North, South, are the same.

No proper housing.

Massive unemployment
Poverty capital of the world.
Poor looking universities. I'm sure u saw those south African universities. I checked some syllabus of ordinary south African universities and I was shocked.

No water
No emergency services
Kidnapping up and down
Electricity poor
Dirty looking state capitals.

Chaotic traffic and unorganized cities

The list goes on. It is same all over the country. I have traveled to many states.

Nigeria is shit. North and West have ruled Nigeria more and still they are same as the entire country.

I was in osun state few weeks ago. Same thing as any other state I have visited. Poverty, dirty looking third world states. Shame on us all.

techmo:
Una go seat for una village dey claim North is worse as if Ibo land is Dubai... Wetin una sabi

But we are not ruling.

I mean, for ruling for decades north should be Dubai. Sincerely, think about it.

How can u rule for decades and control all the juicy positions for decades and still be the highest in poverty rate,
Insecurity, illiteracy, terrorism, kidnapping, diseases?

Yea, igbos are not ruling, u have been ruling and still worse than rest of Africa. It is crazy. Don't u think so?

techmo:
Make 2022 come abeg... I go catch fun trolling Ibo aspirants well well

Lol

Shame on some of u..

So all this is about presidency of a region.

North has ruled this country for decades yet, they are worse in everything as we speak.

They are passing thru hell. Una no dey tire?
Get sense na.

Ofunaofu:
“When we got to Dutse, we stopped at a junction leading to the bush. We met soldiers there and they stopped ordered us to sit down. The soldiers observed that all of us were carrying nylon bags and the items and they asked what were in the nylon bags. We told them that we are carrying money to pay ransom for the students that were kidnapped. The soldiers wished us safe journey to the bush and we parked the car at the junction. We trekked far inside the bush from Dutse and handed over the money to the Kidnappers and they released the girls to us.”


how did we get here

That section really got me weak. Jesus christ. Bro, I'm so tired.

If you are, kindly indicate here or send me a message.

Thanks

Juliusmalema:
Sleep and stop clinging so much to terms use by Government in administering her people.

What a mind.

Lol
Don't mind them shaa. When I worked for one big organization, won't mention their name. They are into telecom.

They have a map they use.. There is nothing like south south in their map. This is actually a multinational telecom company.
Many shits went wrong due to that war and it really destroyed the entire southern Nigeria. So sad..

BigSarah:
2023 is free for all, but the major losers would still be ordinary Nigerians. They have been loosing since 1999

Thank u o..

From east to west, to north, to south, no where in Nigeria is developed. All states na wash, dirty looking with massive hungry citizens who die mainly before they turn 50
No proper hospitals, no clean water, no proper housing system. Nothing.

Wish you the best in your camp life experience...

Yenefer:
Every problem. Buhari Buhari. PDP ruled over this country for 16 years. Just because Buhari is from the North. They try so hard to make it look like he is not working to take us to the promised land. Buhari is the best president Nigeria ever had

By 2023, Buhari would have ruled Nigeria for 8 years. That is half of the years ruled by pdp

Buhari has ruled for almost same years with GEJ..

No one can save Nigeria o. The only way out is break up or complete restructuring of the country.

As u are defending Buhari, I hope u know he is enjoying. Recession won't affect him. I also hope u have enough to enjoy like him and u have enough to protect ur self becus millions are hungry and stealing and kidnapping.

zubimete:
. Thats what i noticed, they will deviate from the topic nd start tribal fight.

Too bad dear

What do people really gain fighting tribalism fight on nairaland?

People spend time and energy fighting over tribes here. Like seriously?

I am very sure these people are so broke. Becus no reasonable hardworking productive human being will spend time arguing and insulting one another becus of tribe. It is too much abeg. U can't even read news in peace here.

Ikjosh04:
Hi all, without a doubt I strongly recommend princedapeace motion graphics and 2d animation training session.

Besides being very good at what he does, what I admire most about him, is that he also possess a great command of cognitive, ethical and teaching skills.

Personally being someone that invest a lot in acquiring knowledge, i can boldly say so many trainer's out there posses a poor command of ethical skills which I believe set princedapeace above his counterpart.

Wow! Thank you bro for the review... And I must confess that you are so dedicated to your training. Weldone bro

Nigeria is finished!

Big religious centre but no global standard hospital.

When these people fall sick, these same governor will fly to oyibo countries where the leaders and citizens didn't invest heavily building religious centers. He won't run to this church to treat him self o.

U know, west Africa will be investing on useless things like building big big religious houses, BBN, and still be praying to God for development. Mad people, mad continent, crazy leaders and followers.
