Stop displaying your ignorance on a public forum

Newboss:


Oga, they LIVE there. They do business here. It's not actually hard to figure out. Nigeria does not have what it takes to support their lifestyle.

It's not worth it. Where will you drive your Rolls Royce and Lamborghini? In those gutters in Lagos? Oh, then they kidnap you.

Baba, it's very simple. They DO NOT live in Nigeria. They only do business here, or visit friends and family. They are always in a hurry to hop on their jets once they're done.

Are you defending this? A 19 month old baby flogged 31 times! Haba!
Please be careful, nothing can possibly justify this. They never denied flogging the boy.

seborrhic:
Same Delta state government that supported the Oromoni's just based on what the father said in the video,without waiting for proper investigation and a proper autopsy.
If not that Dowen college is in Lagos with also powerful interests,a government like that of Delta would have already prosecuted those children for murder,arrested and also prosecuted the owners,teachers and hostel masters.
For this boy that flogged this child and the owner of the school,sorry is their case because no one will come out to hear any other side of the story.
No where did Delta state government say they would set up an investigation into the case.
No where is anyone asking why a child flogged and treated in a hospital for some days died.
Or is it every child that is flogged by even parents themselves,that die.
No one is excusing the flogging,but why can't a proper investigation be done to ascertain what caused the child's death and if the flogging had a direct or was the remote cause of the death or if there was medical issues that coincidentally came to play same time the flogging occurred?

Who flogs a 3 year old? There are indeed many mad people in this country.
Truly sorry about your experience Ma'am.
Our government need to set up agency for child abuse instead of us taking laws into our own hands. We have become too lawless in this country.

ahnie:
In one of my diary entry,I narrated how one demonic teacher at uzoigwe primary school asaba so dealt with my son who was 3yrs old then,she wasn't even his class teacher sef,she just finds flogging my son as a sport.

When I felt I have had about enuf of her madness,I went to the school with mopstick used it to beat craze out of her miserable life,yanked her weave off,gave her correct isoko mending,we ended up in the Vice headmistress office,where her fellow teachers were trying to cover up for her.

I was begged and pacified to go home that such incident would not happen again.

Imagine my son was even scared going to school,just imagine.
Till date...miss ify does not go near my kids again and I have taken my son out from that school,only my daughter is there.

I heard she still calls people's kids swine's,idiots,imbeciles and vagabond,but them no born her well to call my daughter such name.

I agree with this suggestion. When there is a law backing abolition of caning, and a prescribed jail term for teachers or caregivers that do go ahead and cane, then we might begin to see semblance of order return to children's education.

VOsimhen144:
Most teachers are frustrated.

Government should ban the use of Cane in primary and secondary schools. Pupils are not animals.

Great suggestion! After sentencing them to 60 years imprisonment, they should also collect the school from them.
That would deter other people.

kingthreat:
The property should be completely taken over.

There are not enough deterrents to wrongdoing in this country. Even the justice system sympathize with the offenders more than their victims. I met a father years ago that said his 5 year old daughter had been raped repeatedly by the school bus driver and her VG was seriously torn and messed up because she as always the last to be dropped off and the accompanying school aunty would have dropped off because she didn't want to work long distance. He said, when he wanted to report to the police, everyone was begging him, including his wife! They almost turned him into the villain for wanting justice for his daughter.
Out minds are already so messed up with religion and the concept of forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn't mean the person wouldn't serve a deserved punishment.

Amen!!!

ReneeNuttall:
Lord pls save Nigeria.

No wonder!
If a youth can think like this, infact, it shows how out leaders have bastardized our minds our time. There is nothing commendable about this. It is mediocre and unsustainable.

eliwa47:
This is nice and a welcome development.

How?
You don't recognize how disrespectful this is? Can they keep their own children like these o. The streets?
What is the assurance of sustainable income from this? This is hustling! It should not be encouraged by any government.

Nigerians need to recognize when they are being minimized and disrespected. What is the future of this kind of thing?

gidof88477:
If this can circulate it will be okay

Nigerians truly do deserve the leaders they get. How can empowering youth with such low quality, unsustainable equipment that still keeps them on the streets be laudable?
This is just to mediocre for anyone, talk less of a state government to be participating in. Employment creation is not rocket science.

This is so disrespectful!

Gov Wike and the Soot Scandal

By Dr Ugoji Egbujo
A few days ago, Gov Wike marched around the bushes. Cameras and journalists followed him. Wike, the strongman.

He went to seek out and destroy the illegal refineries that had poisoned his state. Wike, the detective.

He cried that the soot billowing from the illegal refineries was choking residents and businesses in the state. Red-eyed and breathless, surrounded by soldiers and policemen, the governor seemed a Tarzan on a rescue mission.


They say any time a man wakes up is his morning. Wike’s soot morning is January 2022. But if a man wakes up in the afternoon, he shouldn’t call his kinsmen for morning prayers. Wike woke up after his state had become well suited in soot.

We will not ask Wike what made him sleep and forget himself. He must be busy with many projects, building flyovers all over the place and helping to build the PDP.



But a visitor watching Wike swearing to deal ruthlessly with boys who steal and cook crude oil would think Wike was elected into office the previous week.

Or that the soot flew into Rivers state that day and woke Wike up from an afternoon slumber. But we will leave Wike; he is a theatrical man.


The only problem is that the comedy script Wike rehearsed in the bushes should have been flagged by a good editor as lacking believability.

Wike could have said the boys began cooking beyond acceptable limits. That’s all. Because the governor, in pretending he never knew about the soot, inadvertently exposed himself as egregiously inept.

For six years, Wike soothed the soot and allowed it to mushroom in Rivers. Now, Wike is hooting and tooting, pulling the wool over our eyes, rooting around, rummaging bushes for the source of the soot. Woot!

Some might say since he has started, we should encourage him. We shouldn’t distract him by asking him naughty questions. But can we all pretend that Wike didn’t see the soot for six years?

Wike’s triumphant entry into the bushes was so dramatic that even some of those who had lived in Rivers all their lives were tempted to believe that soot had been a problem that Wike’s predecessors didn’t have the balls to curb. So they didn’t see a criminally negligent governor.

They saw their strong man taking the bulls by the horn in Isiokpo. After all, isn’t that why he is the only workaholic governor in Africa?

The problem with Africa is that charlatanism wears long robes with matching hats and marches around with confidence while living in high places. Before Wike became governor, militancy had been banished from Rivers.

In 2015, Wike had to win the rivers governorship elections by all means. So he threw in the kitchen sink. Militants who had found other decent careers in Lagos returned to help him. After he won, some of them became traditional rulers.

It’s good to reintegrate former militants into society. They are stakeholders. But, when an emperor compensates the youths by looking the other way while they steal and cook crude oil, he cannot come many years later to feign ignorance, find scapegoats and fool the country.

Port Harcourt is now buried in soot. The former garden city now has a black blanket. Before Gov Wike became governor, Portharcourt didn’t know soot, and soot didn’t live in Portharcourt.

Now, once a child walks barefoot on the balcony, he must wash his feet to save the bedsheets. The roofs are all black— black-maroon, black-brown, black-beige, black-green. The tennis courts are messy. Lungs, all soot-filled.

Fo so long, doctors didn’t know that the inhalation of asbestos dust caused any problems. Hundreds of years after asbestos became popular.

Asbestosis was only discovered in 1924. Then, it was discovered that one out of every four who worked in the asbestos industry suffered Asbestosis. Asbestosis was a disease of latency; it took many years to manifest.

But the link between Asbestosis and lung cancer was only established about 1955. Wike knows that six years of massive soot inhalation has guaranteed a future health calamity. Chronic soot inhalation can quietly damage the lungs and the heart. Wike knew that before he became governor. But he had his priorities.

Wike wants to blame the police. He wants to pass the buck. Since Wike came, he has set up committee after committee to find the immediate and remote causes of the soot. Where are the reports of those committees? Are they covered in soot?

The committees consumed taxpayers money to see what school children in a helicopter could have discovered in 10 minutes.

What exactly does Rivers State Executive Council discuss with their sooty microphones on their sooty tables in their sooty chamber? What has Rivers state ministry of environment done for six sooty years?

The truth is that the soot plague is the product of criminal collusion between the governments and the governed at many levels. A responsible governor, prioritising public health above political patronage and electoral conquests, would have declared an emergency on soot in 2016.

But an opportunistic emperor, looking out for his boys, would leave the soot till he finished his fantasy bridges and visited Real Madrid with his friends.

The problem started in 2016 from the Okrika axis. All children in port Harcourt knew this. Those stealing and refining crude oil in the riverine areas were allowed to develop this alternative economy.

The lowest-paid labourer in a ‘pot’, the local refinery, is the man who does the bagging. That man receives N8000 a day. Lucrative business.

The initial investment to establish a pot is about 12 million naira. It is no secret. The business breaks even in a few months. The village youth, traditional ruler, community dev union, security agencies all have their cuts.

The justification was that other folks were mining diamonds and gold in Zamfara to look after their families. Nice logic, right?

Gov Wike looked away when the industry began in Okrika. As the boys in the riverine villages became wealthy, the boys in other communities started their own refineries. It didn’t take long; refineries sprouted everywhere.

Once the boys engaged themselves in the petrochemical kitchens, crime rates dropped.

That was what somebody said. Perhaps, the federal government let sleeping dogs lie so that the major crude pipelines could heave a sigh of relief. Perhaps the federal government was asleep too. If the stealing of crude oil didn’t matter, the health hazard should have roused Abuja.

The consequences were foreseeable. The government abdicated its responsibility. The same Wike who rushed to crush two hotels on a Sunday for flouting covid regulations allowed the soot to seize the state. And when he decided to play to the gallery, he didn’t choose a chopper. It’s understandable.

In a helicopter, the world would have seen more than he wanted it to see. So he went on foot chasing grasshoppers leaving the elephants in the Okrika and other riverine areas.

The Igbo say a frog doesn’t make an afternoon dash in vain. It’s either chasing something, or something is chasing it. Buhari is not Obasanjo, he doesn’t threaten governors. It’s possible Wike wants the boys to return to the campaign field.

The timing is suspicious. It’s possible Wike wants the soot to leave before he leaves. So that it wouldn’t look like the soot belonged to him. So that his opponents won’t name the plague Soot Wike. A plague that resembles a Crime Against Humanity.

With a reasonable budget for the media, any cunning Nigerian politician with agbero instincts and a knack for crude talk and rancid comedy can be a hero.

But someday, an inquest into the soot scandal will happen.

So are you.
Cheers!

franchasng:
You are right

While I get the point you are trying to make, the truth is, industrialization is a must for poverty eradication for third world countries. More like, It's either you die by fire or brimstone.
It's just the way the world works now.
No pain, No gain!

franchasng:
If you visit any American or UK hospital, you will marvel at the names of sicknesses and diseases being diagnosed. I haven't been to US but I have lots of close childhood friends and classmates plus relatives working in different health facilities as Doctors, Nurses, Lab Scientists, etc.



Many Americans live with terminal illnesses and diseases for decades, many have cancer and its seen as nothing. lung cancer, different versions of cancer and if you see them you wont know until you see their medical history.


The only thing sustaining them is their exceptional healthcare system that have the capacity to handle and manage any sickness or disease, whether the patient is rich or poor so long as he or she is a citizen.



That's why they consume GMO foods without much worries too.


Nigeria and West Africa don't have such competent healthcare system that can manage such ailments when they arise.


As a nation gets more heavily industrialized, they invest hugely in healthcare and environmental protection and management to curtail the resultant negative effects of the industrialization.



I am a trained Engineer with years of experience. I have undergone several environmental health, and safety traininga and gotten certifications, so I know what I am telling you.



I am not hating on Dangote, he is so way above my level for me to be hating on him even though I dont accord him much respect I accord to seasoned entrepreneurs who started from scratch and rose to riches without government assistance which Dangote enjoyed for decades now and part of what made him who he is.

Not true! More than 2 million Americans live less than 1 mile to a refinery. Dangote refinery is sited many miles away from where people live.
We really must commend the project stakeholders in the carefully planned (conscientious) project. Let's try and be positive in this country. This refinery benefits us all. Dangote will not live forever, but he will leave a legacy that generations to come will benefit from.

franchasng:
In few years to come, the pollution that will be generated by this refinery will force residents around Ajah down to Ibeju lekki and maybe VI to start relocating. And if they refuse to move, the health hazards will be incredible. Residents will be exposed to dangerous radiation and heat wave.



It wont be funny.


Heavy industrialization comes with a price to pay.


US and other first world nations have a reason why they moved most of their manufacturing activities to China and other Asian countries.



If you see the pollution Chinese cities like Shanghai battle every now and then, I doubt any African nation can manage it

If other ethnic groups in this country have focused and intelligient leadership such as the Yoruba's have in Bola Tinubu in this country, this country would have gone far. I hope the Yoruba's recognise that this h.ate for Bola Tinubu is only borne out of envy and the knowledge that we have leadership that looks out for our collective interest.



I just hope the Igbos will not allow this O to ge they are shouting to consume them in this town. If APC lose this election, the Ibos will be the greatest casualities......their businesses will be frustrated and Jimi Agbaje will not be able to help them one bit.

What a sad experience! Reading the above comments made it even sadder. Many Nigerians have zero empathy. What would or could this woman hope to gain by lying about such an experience? She only wanted closure and a little empathy from fellow humans. She was 16. At that age unpleasant experiences are usually blocked out by the brain to avoid psychological breakdown of the individual.

This man took advantage of an innocent young girl and unless we learn to collectively condemn such acts, we will remain a corrupt and morally bankrupt nation.
Rape is illegal and i would like to implore the owner and moderators of this forum to allow 'thumb down' dislike bottons or even remove such comments that might further traumatize victims. By allowing such comments, evil doers and sociopaths will only be more audacious, while their victims become more wary. Indeed, "evil thrive when good men stand aside and do nothing". Seun take note, you can use this medium to foster hate or spread love, history will surely be the judge of that. Cheers all.
