Are these the reforms that will put quality food on the table of an average Nigerian?

Will it improve the educational system of Nigeria to a world standard?

Will it secure Nigerians from the hands of terrorists, kidnappers and bandits?

Will it improve the health status of Nigerians and equip our hospitals?

If not, then our law makers don't know their right from their left. They absolutely lack wisdom.

Virgin with character! Virginity is good character too

Says who? How do U explain a virgin who's made covenant in the marine kingdom not to lose her virginity before marriage?

If at all this news is anything close to the truth, which I doubt, then Nigeria can not be on the list. Citizens of countries on that list don't engage in migration as much as Nigerians do. They don't equally violate immigration laws like Nigerians do. For instance, Nigerians are known for overstay.

Someone that prays every Friday in the mosque is now 80% traditionalist. I thought you'd have said he's one foot a Christian as well.

I would rather call him a liberal and elite Muslim. Liberal Muslims won't force their religion on you, they don't care what religion their wives & children pitch their tents with, they won't in any way agree with anyone's religious fundamentalism, their lifestyle is entirely different. I've worked with people like that before.

I like how Nigerians are uniting against the impunity in this govt. If we can sustain this unity beyond politics and ethnicity, no government will take Nigerians for granted.

The thing is that they are cautious to implement whatever it is they want to implement because they know election is at the corner, they need people's votes. They're coming back to it.

Oyo State can do better abeg

It's military health facility.

A single bullet from a sniper to this guy's forehead will end all these lose talks here and there. He's already a national threat. That's why I love IDF.

The best and most effective antidote to crime is to pull it out from the root, even the dumbest can relate with this. But what is our government doing? Exactly the opposite. I don't know if their sponsors are too big for the government to profile.

I was watching a report on Ukraine in Al-Jazeera a while ago, and was wondering if this country was truly in war or banter with Russia. Nigeria can not be in this kind of war for a year and not know its level by now, this is 4 years counting, and they're still rocking nightlife like Lagosians in some of their cities.

Nigeria is a sorry case. All companies of yesteryears, where are they today? I don't think we have up to 5 factories established in the 80's to 90's still functioning today. Even multinational companies are moving out of here for fear of extinction. God will save Nigeria.

Don't worry. The killings will stop the moment the North is done teaching Peter Obi a bitter political lesson

Most idiotic comment on Nairaland today

So in 30 years of service, he could only corner a little over 2billion Yuan, and there's no way out of death sentence, that's to tell you how easy it is for a Carmel to pass through a needle than for a Chinese to enrich himself or herself through corruption in Chinese soil. WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!

Fulani no pass 0.5%. abeg no vex o.

Oyo state security votes needs to be audited by a world renowned auditing firm.

How can a large scale crime occur in a state without instantaneous mobilization of security forces.

Fayose made valid points!

Other states were also affected by these kidnappings and nothing has been done about it, why the selective criticism? All the states need to be audited asap, not only Oyo. Fayose is lately becoming frustrated, and want Makinde to be pulled down at all cost. It's so glaring from his body language.

When the poor and his cronies are kidnapped,
Politicians : Let's all remember Nigeria in our prayers to deliver us from all these evils happening.

When politicians and their family members are kidnapped,

Politicians : This is abomination in the land, we are fighting this with all our might.
Imbalanced society.

They keep picking south-southerners like snails! Where is their Amotekun? Disbanded or compromised? They've not been active/on the news for a long time now.

They've been weakened and silenced. There are some forces among the Yoruba elites who don't want to see them functioning. You will wonder why Lagos State refused to embrace Amotekun up till now, despite Akeredolu's tireless efforts that time to establish Amotekun in all the South West states. Politics everywhere.

Somebody tell me, because I didn't watch the match, is it 7 players against 11?

The number there makes it impossible for me to list them because I am not too sure they have such in their ranches. I read about a Malaysian man who became a multi-millionaire from the industry. A solid middle class population to sell to and low interest rate loans from agencies are the key factors to building a thriving dairy industry. Now, does this mean Kenya has a stronger middle class than Nigeria?

see here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanburgos/2026/04/15/malaysian-tycoons-farm-fresh-dairy-outfit-is-taking-on-rivals-with-its-grass-to-glass-approach/


So why are northern elites not pushing forward for this big time? The industry needs patient capital and as illustrated, the Malaysian entrepreneur, even though ethnic Chinese, got gov't backing to expand his farm.

You might have come across L and Z farms. His recent interview here: https://nidacity.com/articles/nigeria-has-enough-cows-it-just-needs-muhammad-abubakars-system and a long time article about the industry here: https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2015/06/06/uncowed

So why are northern elites not pushing forward for this big time? You can't invest into a business you know nothing about, what they know about is what they're investing in, which is beef cattle production, and they are even doing it in the crude way (the ancient practice of nomadic system).

Now, does this mean Kenya has a stronger middle class than Nigeria? I think Kenyans have a better purchasing power than Nigerians, we are far below the ladder. Kenyans are spending far more on milk products because it's become part of their daily life, and the government is working towards making it available for all citizens. Here in Nigeria, milk is a luxury, that only the rich and middle class can afford to include in their cuisine.

The industry needs patient capital The industry? We don't have a dairy industry ( a well-structured and functional institution governing the establishment, business, quality control /assurance board and dairy products marketing board of the dairy subsector) in Nigeria, it's only the poultry subsector that has been developed to a minimal level in Nigeria, and the major players in the poultry subsector are foreigners (Lebanese, Israelis, Indians etc).

This is how a thriving dairy industry runs in a saner clime;

All functional dairy farms are documented and registered with the government board.

All dairy farms belong to a dairy association

The association is responsible for collecting all fresh milk produced on the farms registered under it on daily basis

Payments are made to each farms based on the litters lifted daily.

Farmers don't have to crack their brains on where to sell their products, the industry controls the price through the price control board, so middle men don't rip farmers off.

Gerrard59:
Seeing your signature, then this post. It is a thriving industry in northern Nigeria. But agreed, not up to the level of the Kenyans.

Thriving industry you say? Well, the word thriving is relative. I'm well familiar with northern livestock production system, because I served at the state veterinary clinic in the north. I would be glad if you could mention 6 dairy farms in the so-called north with 200 dairy cows (exotic breeds) and a 30 to 50-cow capacity fully-automated milking parlours that's fully operational.

With which cattle does the north produce milk from? Is it with all these Bunaji breeds (white fulani breeds) or what? How many litres of milk can the white fulani breeds produce daily? Kenya invested heavily in exotic breeds of dairy cattle from Netherlands, UK to improve their local breeds through a good breeding program. But Nigeria leaves the business in the hands of fulani nomadic farmers who can't even differentiate between beef cattle and dairy cattle.

Nigeria should just present southern Christian and northern Christian as president and vice. I want to check something.

There's nothing like dairy industry in Nigeria, that industry is non-existent here. We still have a long way to go getting the industry running. It's a multi-billion dollar industry lying fallow, yet untapped.

It looks like the South Africans are going home early

Of course, they have unfinished business at home, xenophobing other Africans in their territory. Take my word or leave it, no single joy is coming their way this year. They've stepped on cobra's tail. Even almighty God is not happy with them.

I see as people dey do calculations on top another person's matter. If U ask them now they will say they hate maths.

That's insane, adding 100 billion USD to your portfolio in a single day? That's massive, and Americans don't because of that give a hoot. Meanwhile they worship a man in this side of the world who's networth barely dangles around 20 to 30 billion USD with all the favoritism. Some people have special grace sha.

oga truck or Trump , an attack is an attack,
why should Lebanon attack first

Abi o, if this small attack as said by Trump goes unchecked, then be expecting a bigger attack as test run. Israel is right in the centre of adversaries calling for her extinction if the slightest chance surfaces, so Israel can never give a chance for that. It's survival of the fittest.

You no see Sowore join protest the other day.

Do we still have gullible people taking that one serious in this new age? Sowore's a cunning politician just out there to catch cruise and remain relevant with every event happening. Forget that one abeg.
