Just do your part and on time, then forget if they will deliver, don't blame the government when you've not done your part. I always make sure I'm among the first people to do anything initiated or instructed by the government...cause I know time like this will eventually arise cause of the lackadaisical attitude of Nigerians. During BVN, PVC, NIN registration, I was among the first...

Early bird catches the worm...

Your attitude is good and commendable. But we are talking about a system, while it's true people make up the system, it is the right people that make the system work, which in turn builds confidence that makes it sustainable. Right now, NIMC failed to build that confidence for the people to have been motivated to get enrolled. Unlike the BVN which was done at various branches of banks, and the PVC which was done by people deployed to polling units, the NIMC was earlier centralised, and still maintains very few centres till date. So you wake, go there to queue for hours without knowing if you'd be captured, c'mmon, for a very busy person you know what this will mean. So let the agency do its part well so that when the citizens fail it will be glaring who's at fault.

Brother Allah have mercy

1998 June 8th, my daughter was posted to potiskum by WHO . they went to create awareness about polio vacine, so many conspiracy theories was going on about the vacine.

they went to this radio station, for the sensitization campaign, when they got to a police station to beg for security while they went on these trip, she saw a girl of 10 years behind the counter.

her husband divorced her, she became homeless and decide to sleep in the police station, my daughter was touched, she did the necessary thing formally and traditionally. she finally adopted that girl, that girl is now a technical assistance at Siemens Zurich.

exposure matters a lot

10 years old a divorcée? Wow
This one too was killed at 17 and is said to have courted for 6 years, that's she started when 11.

Skyfornia:
Totally in support of your view...I registered mine since 2014. Nigerians too like fire brigade approach..

Be sincere, how many of you got the ID (hard copy not slip) after a short while?
It has taken too long for many, and a lot yet to get. How wouldn't this failure of the agency affect public perception of the ID.
This is national identification we are referring to, not some ordinary ID.

SilverNorGold:
Good... They should be sentenced to 300 years' imprisonment with hard labor! Nigeria is not a lawless country.

God bless Nigeria.



My brother, the ultimatum is exactly what the lazy citizens get when they refused to be registered all these years until they were compelled to by this security conscious administration. So blame your lazy colleagues..

Nigerians are like "obejects" in Newton's laws of motion, especially the first law... Them no go move or change: they keep doing what they are doing until you apply force... So using force to accelerate things is a welcome idea..

No be everything we go dey criticize the government.

Nigeria go better.

You are trying to be patriotic and that is good but saying Nigerians refused to move until force is applied pertaining this NIMC ID is totally out of point and untrue. You know how so many were captured and for over five to six years haven't gotten the ID card, except for the slip which over time gets damaged if not well stored. That failure in itself discouraged so many from going to enroll since most of those who did never got the card. And this agrees well with the point made by the person you quoted that an ultimatum is given to an agency that isn't ready. In this era of technology capturing, verifications and eventual issue of ID shouldn't be such an issue, yet it is with us.

MyOpinion1:
Let every family be responsible, that is not too much to ask in a sane society..
The professor train his child but was killed by the child of another parent who failed to train his..
Life would have been fair for everyone, but since we all are minding our businesses and fail to caution others and society refuses to make everybody responsible for their decisions primarily, then this kind of story we still keep increasing and increasing and nothing anyone can do abt it...

What happened is highly unfortunate and saddening. But for purpose of discuss I'd like to point out that most deviants you see might not necessarily be as a result of bad parenting, but combination of so many factors.
The lessons we can take from what just happened is that there is need for shortcode Emergency numbers that anyone can call and get help as quickly as possible, not those 11 digits GSM numbers dolled out that you call and no response. If there was such emergency dial, those who witnessed those people on bike trying to rob the guy would have signalled the police and subsequently get emergency help for him when he was shot.
Another lesson is lighting and CCTV surveillance of streets.
Sadly, this is the sorry state Nigerians found themselves in and it's like it may not go anytime soon with all the kidnappings, banditry, terrorism.

CSTRR:
Abike Dabiri is there masturbatingg because Biden appointed three Nigerians in his govt.

She is there behaving like a well trained monkey,while Nigerians of higher potential in Nigeria are being wasted by the Nigerian State.

With all sense of responsibility what would have been Abike Dabiri's role in this case? Or what could she have done or not that allowed this to happen or hindering the success of investigation?

AroleOduduwa2:
People are heartless. Because of a mere Samsung phone you took a life.

Very sad. But it may not be because of Samsung phone, rather the content, judging by the fact that he was good in tech and had won award. If he had met those robbers there, it might have made more sense saying it is robbery, but the guys coming on bike might point to some people trailing him to gain access to stuff on his phone.

OK sir. Enjoy your 'wisdom'.

There is Corona. It is real in Nigeria, don't be ignorant.

I guess the 200 missionaries are from various countries and not on the same mission in a particular country. If not, then this is health war.

Modified; Oh! They were mission supporters, Church purse will be greatly affected. More supporters are needed I guess.
God loves a cheerful giver.

Not just the church purse but so many lives will be affected in their absence- their families, friends and others who rely on them. For instance, I opened this thread to read the content, only to realize the statement was made at the burial of a man I know. Met him somewhere in Nigeria where he worked and resides. This man lend me handsome sum and told me to pay back when I get it. I paid him after two years. He was detribalized. Didn't even know he was a missions supporter till now am reading it. I can tell you there are Muslims who will miss him too. Truly a cheerful giver is gone and if ECWA makes such statement about supporters going due to covid, universities are losing professors, political sphere experiencing same, hmm, then we need guard ourselves and loved ones.

In Nigeria is scamdemic..... The city I lived they have no case yet the yeye okowa would still be given scores to ncdc....

Just ensure you stay safe, protecting yourself and loved ones. In Nigeria it is real, ...
Speaking from experience, you have no idea the feeling when that thing gets the best of your immune system, I tell you, you have no idea. Don't wish it. Just stay safe. Our government might not have given us reason to trust them, but on this issue let's play our part for our sake.

Start with one first, then come back and tell us if you can afford (not finance-wise o) to add another.

naptu2:
More pictures of the visit.

Your reporting is topnotch. I see you as something (mind you not only someone) else, entirely out of the league of Nairaland reporters, from investigative prowess to presentations...
Don't you have a blog or something?

TransAtlanticEx:
Are you sure you really wanna do this?
Cos I'm ready when you are.
Feed me and my family( a whole my family ooo) for ages yet your mama dey want kill herself say your fiance no buy bread for am?.
Why not use that money weh you want use am feed me and my generation buy your mama provisions keep for house na
And somehow its from this miserly,miserable existence that you wanna feed my family(really rich ) from?
My eldest sister got married in 2004,in 2003 when the man came for introduction,he wore shorts and was empty handed.
You know why?There was nothing he could bring that we don't have and he knew it
What you could have done sef to even cover your bf is send some money to your thirsty mom and claim your bf sent it,but instead you fought with him over it,maybe because you and your mama don plan as una go share the stipends weh the guy suppose bring,
Yet a bottom feeder like you wants to feed my generation?

She has a long way to go, ...a very long way!
Someone with her kind of mentality, despite reading posts that show she and her mum goofed, still has time telling you she can feed your family for ages, so unfortunate!

I'm disappointed at these old fo0ls

The prime minister of canada Justin Trudeau was summoned by senate FOR EATING CHOCOLATE bar in the senate House during a voting session in the house he attended, HE came and APOLOGISED to them. The person who made the accusation didn't know what he was eating yet he apologized
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/pm-trudeau-apologizes-for-eating-chocolate-bar-during-voting-marathon-1.4345501

“Indeed Mr. Speaker, I apologize. It was a chocolate bar and I apologize,” Trudeau stated

The ex prime minister of Japan Shinzo Abe was summoned Because of a PRIVATE DINNER PARTY he held for his supporters, without disclosing to the Japanese people or parliament the extra costs his office paid to subsidize the dinner party, HE honoured the invitation and APOLOGISED to the Japanese people and parliament. It was called the "cherry blossom scandal"
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/12/25/japans-shinzo-abe-apologises-over-cherry-blossom-scandal

“Even though the accounting procedures happened without my knowledge, I feel morally responsible for what happened,” Abe told the committee. “I reflect on this deeply and apologise from my heart to the citizens and to all legislators.”

Jacinda Ardern Prime minister of NewZealand just this December after a terrorist attack SHE APOLOGISED for not being able to secure the victims, for the attack happening.
https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20201208-nz-s-ardern-apologises-for-failings-identified-by-inquiry-into-christchurch-massacre
According to reports "she failed to do certain things but even if those things were done the attack would still not have been stopped" yet she apologised for not doing those things regardless of whether it would have stopped the attack


@tegrianonigltd just reminded me of Jacob Zuma ex president of South Africa who was summoned by the south African parliament, he went and APOLOGISED for the upgrades he made to his house using state funds he was going to be impeached he knew it, the senate was against him (even tho his party was majority, the court was agaunst him even though he appointed most of the judges, the Crimes commission were against his actions and had summoned him too even tho he appointed their boss, so he
apologized and resigned. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35943941

But here we are, Nigeria the failed, APOLOGISING TO THE PRESIDENT for summoning him to address the people when something as bad as kidnappings of over 333 boys as well as the numerous killings and kidnappings going on all over the country, this is way worse than the chocolate bar or dinner party or house upgrade in South Africa yet we are the ones apologising to the president for disturbing him to do his job.

WHO BROUGHT ME INTO NIGERIA? OF EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH TO COME FROM

Especially that of South Africa, it showed stability of a working system, where executive interference is minimal. The House of representatives signify equality of citizens, every citizen is represented by a member there. The position by the AGF is funny, the National Assembly can impeach a President but cannot invite same to come and explain important issues such as security? Ours is a sorry and shameless state, very unfortunate.

Nbotee:
How is dis any different from what a former CBN executive stated sometime ago and d DSS and other ppl in govt wanted to have his head...

There are two PDP governors in the northwest, let's hope this is not inferring it's one of them because instead of having solution it will further be politicized while people suffer.

Etinosa1234:
.

Nonsense..

All military officers on self isolation for someone that died in far away Rivers...

U yourself, are u on self isolation?

Idiot

The first issue is not even about not appearing due to isolation, rather refusal to accept the summon. Yet excuse is given that top military officers are in isolation due to covid. Time shall tell. That poster obviously is playing someone's card and tends to buy likes recently.

For the Betters on Bet9ja and other betting platforms that played this particular match on their tickets,

According to international reports,
What will happen to your ticket is that......(quote this is you want more info)




Okay, here you have it Baike,

The match will be Null and Voided.
(That is, they will removed it out of your games as if you never played it)

Stake will be returned if the bet was just for this match.

If it is part of accumulator, it will not be counted as part of the accumulator, hence reduced odds.

Cc Jmoore.

Addendum: Number one Rule of Gambling: NEVER play with what you cannot afford to lose!

All the best to y'all.

We Rise!

You explain like a pro. Your darling daddy doesn't like/condone the sight of gamblers o, just so you know!

GayPontiff:

Did he state anywhere that d lady was not nice to him?
Shebi all he wrote was that she spent her savings on him. Even as a LovePeddler she showered him with love and affection. .

Thank you.
To think all we read is the OP's version of the story and knowing how well people tend to paint themselves good with their own version of the story I bet that lady did more graciously to him and probably saw ills (don't want to use word hell here) from him. Lazy guy making what government workers (FG) at level 8 and above make yet unable to plan his life, despite having expenses covered by a girl in love!
Some guys are the reason some women decide never to be supportive in relationship.

perryy:
OP

Aptly written, except that poisoning part I beg to differ. But you really captured all I wanted writing the OP. After reading his story (which happens to be his version) I can't but see that lady as an angel, one that can be a true support if given chance to. It really got me wondering if the OP made the story up just to send home message against premarital sex or sex with those with multiple partners (cause I didn't read it when the girl's details were still on display). Or could it still be another ploy to drive calls to that line?
Otherwise, it beats every imagination why someone who makes average N120k monthly (5k times 6 = 30k weekly) and who does not have to spend on food, clothing and most times accommodation, abuse opportunity he got to better his life despite having suffered unemployment post graduation...?
You made money lots of graduates in state and even some FG agencies don't make in a month (and in your case your expenses are even covered by someone who loves you), yet you are here spewing all these and seeking to blame one who meant you good. That OP really needs to change orientation and also approach that lady for forgiveness, cause her only sin in this case was she had faith and fell in love with the wrong person!

Bigggloadofcum:
Hmm!

This matter carry weight o. As proper and justifiable as it is to check the phones of our spouses, the discovery might turn out to be SUICIDAL.

First, you are within ur marital right to check on ur wife's phone even though a few persons might disagree with that.

From your writeup I could deduce u are broke even though you try ur best to provide for ur family. The woman you married doesn't feel the need to respect someone who she feels she's better than financially.

This is a real story. When I was 9 my dad was going through serious financial challenges and even though my mum was totally supportive, he felt incomplete. One evening I saw my dad with a rope.

He didn't say a word to me... He went out. Late at night he didn't come home and we started looking for him but he was no where to be found. There was no phones like there is now.

Late on oga came back looking frail and disconnected from this earth. We welcomed him as usual. Next day he called me and told me that he had hung the rope to a tree and was about tying it round his neck but he thought about my siblings and I.

Few years down, thinks turned around tremendously. He became happy, our family became happy.

Now b4 you take that suicidal step, think of your children, double ur hustle but if that woman is cheating on you, kick her ass out. You deserve better.

A woman shouldn't be the end of you. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

I am quoting the above verbatim for the OP and any other in similar situation, there's no better!

Casemiro:
Please there's this black cat that use to disturb, crying at the fence close to my window at night.


It stopped disturbing for some months, but is back now.

what should I do?

the cat is big fa.

if I go out to chase it, it will run away but later return

The fact it did some time ago only to return shows it is just its position of seeking a mate, usually when they are on heat and want to mate thats what they do, in fact, if two males meet at that spot it is usually serous fight, you sef will know they are fighting. Your worry should be the disturbance, which will still stop after some days. Best is to just stone it, it will run, may return same night, but if you do two to three times it won't.

Very unfortunate.
The Cameroonian American and Ganduje have just earned themselves and others a bad name, hence further putting off the light of intending migrants.

KhalifaJnr:
.

Let me be human and tell you sorry over your losses, else I'd have laughed at your foolishness!
Betting is not a career and shouldn't be, reason they say bet what you can afford to and comfortably lose. You went staking too high, and this in itself says few things about you that you need to fix-
1. Don't be so much in a rush to make plenty money at a very high expense such that you throw caution to the wind, it is called 'greed' and it makes you vulnerable to losses and regrets afterwards. This differs from taking calculated risks in normal day to day businesses.
2. That a friend of yours introduced/lured you into betting tells that you also have to work on your decision making. Be independent. Anyone can bring up suggestions, but it's left to you to analyze and arrive at a conclusion on what to do, so accept responsibility.
Finally, I'll say you are fortunate because you are alive to tell your story and can recover and be better at not betting but doing what you did earlier that brought what you lost via betting, except if it was inherited, which I'll say move on with what you got out of it - experience. Most importantly, don't over flog yourself because you made those mistakes, they form part of life, what matters is how you dust yourself up and forge ahead!
There's no success without a story.

Engrgabi:
I met this pretty .

Do you want to marry her?
Does she take you serious?
Does she love you like you love her?
Does she act like a serious minded person?
Does she accept when she is wrong and is open to correction?
If all answers to above are 'Yes' then sit with her and have adult talk. Open up to her on what you saw too on her phone and the commitment you want to make to her despite all that, provided she ends that and shows amenability to change.
Again, about seriousness or not since you showed she has MSc already and going in for PhD definitely you shouldn't judge her seriousness or otherwise from phone chats but real-life interaction and actions.
Note that some Nairalanders here will tell you all sort of things like she's f**ing around, she's olosho, pu**y f*cked can always be fu*cked etc. jargons, no mind them o. In the end it is your life and your joy that matters. A lot of ladies and guys are into naughty chats and all that, but the serious ones quit to settle down for a life!

Offpoint1:
Happy marriage life.

I wish you all the blessings and troubles marriage offers.

Must you live up to your moniker? @ the boldened.

Hi lovelies those nairalanders close by can come and celebrate with us.

Happy married life. Both of you look adorable. May your marriage be so. Cheers.

So playing games like gambling is a welcome idea?
Do you know why i like those sane climes in Europe and Asia? they use black people to make money, promote and become popular at what they create after that they dumb your ass.

Digital world has come to stay in this generation and gaming is one of the products, you also can't take away the enormous energy it vibrates among youths. Its role in the economy is enormous- and the economy is government's interest world-over. The Esport mentioned in the post definitely means a lot of gambling, however there are those who will engage in it without gambling and for such category we can't say Esport is gambling in totality. Again, gambling is a choice and world over it is regulated to allow participation by adults only.
Just get the drift here, huge money(investment), energy and interest is involved and no serious government will shut its ears and eyes to allow it go uncontrolled and untapped!
