Good initiative.
The devil however is in the details.
A working structure will commercialize the entire chain with government's involvement ending with framework, incentives and regulation.

Government must not be a participant in the day to day running of such enterprises as conflict of interest that will erode it's supervisory role will happen.

The lions cannot be zoo keepers or safari organizers.

Nice.
But not from me.
Going green step by step and reducing my domestic energy bills.

Had an AEDC meter inspection call yesterday and the chap's countenance said it all. They know folks are stepping away from public power. And over time they will become the spare tyre.

JASONjnr:
Why are you trying to politicize this?

Robbery isn't a government movement but an individual activities.

What Wike does is make policies and develop areas as a minister of FCT.

You might even be the one paying those criminals to attack innocent people just so that you will rush to make this post.

You're always quick to point fingers at the government but you forgot that people are out there causing trouble and destroying government infrastructures.

What kind of nonsense thinking is this.
Government is no longer responsible for security?
The government of the FCT is no longer responsible for security in the FCT?

Then what are they responsible for.
You say it is an individual thing.
Okay then the people should stop obeying the law and take matters into their own hands.

By your advice I recommend those living in the outskirts of Abuja, the ungoverned spaces (according to your assertion) should form their own police to secure their territory. Then they will stop 'politicizing' their security.

People are being robbed and exposed to brutality, injury and death and here you are telling them not to call-out those they elected to protect them.

Better stop encouraging the break down of law and order and call out those entrusted with office and allotted huge resources to do the job.

BarrElChapo:
It’s has never been this bad. All over the nation one form of insecurity is being experienced.

As the economy tanks more and more people at the fringes of society with weak morals are turning to crime.

The poor economy has a direct correlation with insecurity. A toddler in governance affairs will know this.

Even those in high office are compromising more than ever before to retain the standards of their warped lives.

That is Nigeria for you.
Weak leadership distracted by an insatiable greed for materialism and grandeur, playing the fiddle while her economy is ripped apart by buccaneers.

Was it not the Vice that called an industrialist an institution. Are those the kind of leaders that will back local content, entrench free market and envision sectoral development.

So if you wish anything done. You either visit your tailor to make 'the cap' for your community and march to Abuja and stop at every bank on the way to ensure your pockets are loaded.

That is all they understand here in Abuja.

Which means the minimum wage can get you say about 40 such meals. Meaning you eat a healthy meal twice a day for just ten days a month and the rest of the month just one healthy meal. That is if you spend your entire wage on food.

If you like don't fight feudalism.

In no time your life will become state property and your life's worth will be shared at the courts of the king.

Step by step Nigerians are sleep walking beyond autocracy into a full blown monarchy.

Eternal vigilance remains the price of democracy.

The title is so funny yet serious.
'Strengthens Hold on North West'....
Means he commands or controls territory.
Is this not the sedition other divisive groups only dream of.

And the security men that are supposed to uphold the law against paying ransoms standby as so called negotiations take place.

What is happening in this country for heaven's sake.
In previous regimes at least there will be denials of non-state actors controlling territory.

Today the bar of governance is set so low that an admission of a rogue army operating freely in Nigeria and an individual unconstitutionally administering territory is no longer adverse news but almost becoming state policy.

Spandau:
Kanu will be tried and jailed. Ask him to reopen his case if he dares. Instead of running to the UK, he should have taken to the bush like the likes of Shekau, Yusuf, and other scores of terrorists leaders who have been dispatched to the great beyond. I'm sure, the government would have killed him just like it did to Ikonso and Gentle. The real people behind his incarceration are Ibo elites and Jubril of Sudan. Go and meet them.

So why can't your glorious government do same for Turji. I mean with the tact and tenacity of a rendition from a foreign country same cannot be done on home soil.

There is nothing the government whether state or Federal will say to square this circle.

Let me ask you this one question.
What is the difference between these two figures.
Why does the government choose to negotiate with one and not the other.

Just answer in all sincerity.

A 9 year girl is old enough to open the car and get out if she's uncomfortable.
My 9 year old daughter knows how to open/unlock my car.. infact, she has her own keys to the house and would just open and enter anytime she comes back from school and no one is at home.
9 year old no be small pikin again oo

Lie just full this news...they even said temperature was 99 degrees in Texas..lol

I'm a family governed by fear obedience onto death is not fairytale. And yes 99 fahrenheit in Texas in the summer is normal.

Send a DM to Elon. That's all.

Just terrible.
Clueless, corrupt government.
The contract to supply is over and the inflated sums to buy the devices has been embezzled.
That is where their interest ends.

Same with the touted CNG and other pie in the sky programs. Just mechanisms to grab government funds.

If they were sincere and objective these investments will be made at the request of service providers already at work in the fields of industry. It will be a demand pull program.

You have established agricultural extension services and they have scouted round the whole nation vacuuming up all the idle and under utilised agric equipment and they are insufficient to meet demand. Then and only then do you invest.

But no it is always the cart before the horse to reward those that make winning elections possible.

You want to make agriculture a serious player in Nigeria's GDP game?. Transform it into a proper industrial concern. Establish enterprises up and down the value chain. Everything from land preparation to product processing, ranches to commodity exchanges.

Invest first in the horse of structures of enterprise so that Nigerians can invest and jobs can be created. Then a natural demand will arise for the carts of equipment. Leave contracts to buy this and that to the enterprises themselves.

Absolutely true.

Those who are close to the healthcare industry know this and the potentially horrendous outcomes of age and reproduction. To make matters worse the prospects of long term care decline with age.

Just leave and start a new life for yourself and your siblings, period. Any further time you spend there will threaten your perception of what a good family life is. The toxicity is transmittable.

Just a protest organized by one man is shutting down entry to the seat of power and a greater part of the city, the capital of Nigeria....

Doesn't project a sure footed government or one riding the wave of the kind of popularity citizens are ready to defend.

More like 'Under Siege'.

dimexy247:
Are you slow? No winners in wars? Are you kidney me?

Oga there are no winners in wars.
The first world war was said to be the war that ended all wars. But the second world war came and was much worse.

What you have in the middle east are just conflicts that set up worse conflicts to come. Just wait for a while.

Even your Bible has said it. After the peace then comes sudden destruction. That place will continue in conflicts till the end of time.

Iran is busy stocking up Russian munitions, resuming its nuclear armament program. What do you think they intend to do with these things, build an amusement park.

Israel on its part intends to annex all of the West Bank and all of Gaza. That is the endgame for them. That is why they will never recognize a Palestinian state.

But even if they can achieve that, what will happen to the Holy sites. The Muslim world will never allow the third holiest site to be in the Jewish state of Israel.

Oga, this matter has no solution. This war has no end.

Very miniscule sums for an urban area but since this is not a one off payment what can be done to start from scratch is to set up a precast concrete plant to begin to fabricate elements for drainage, slope protection, and run-offs.

It is then easier to obtain running funds to produce and deploy these elements as need arises.

Morocco is fast becoming the African soccer powerhouse. Semi's at the last World Cup. Semi's at the last WAFCON, junior teams both male and female doing exceptional things and to crown it all in line to co host the World Cup.

They must be doing something very well in the background, things our derelict NFF and Sports Ministry need tutorials on.

There are no winners in wars. Just a setup for the next. If wars are truly won there would no more wars.

Mr. Otti. That is a threatening statement and can incite those loose at the edges.

What you and all Nigerians should be advocating for is that elections count. The battle is not for your seat alone but to make institutions work well for all.

It is the failure of institutions that is the biggest threat to your seat and Benjamin Kalu may just be the tip of a bigger iceberg.

Terrible situation.

When the people feel those in public service and private enterprise get away with wanton corruption with a scant number ever facing the law.

When the people are under siege dying needlessly every day and watching their security operatives mowed down by bloodthirsty hoodlums.

When the people see the image of the country dragged through the mud both home and away because of narcotics trafficking.

That is exactly WHEN the government CHOOSES to offer amnesty to the few fraudsters, bandits and peddlers they have managed to lock up.

Just terrible

Perewenkle1:
We haven’t seen yet the problems of lithium battery, soon no gadgets will be allowed in flights including cellphones, iPads and laptops.

It is becoming serious.
At Doha last year I had to strip down my laptop for inspection. They were looking for signs of age, wear and repair before tagging it with a pass.

Honestly this is my number one fear on aircraft, fires. And for lithium ion battery fires that practically cannot be out out what do you do. You can imagine if this happens in the middle of a transatlantic or transpacific flight, hours away from land, where do you go.

I think a time is coming when devices will be sequestered at airport screenings and kept in special fireproof containers that are as robust as the ladles used in steel mills that withstand heat and fire of several thousand degrees.

Because I have seen a number of lithium battery fires and some are as terrifying ad blow torches.

Angelfrost:
Wail how?!!

I'm actually happy that Arsenal's title race is looking really good this season.

Seriously rooting for Arteta.

The team needs to improve their mentality if they are to win this season. Against Fulham what I saw was a team lacking the ruthlessness title winners need to strike fear into opponents.

I think Slot should understand the culture in the Premiership. The league is very unforgiving. It punishes every inadequacy.

You recruit badly, you get punished.
You don't stay humble, you get punished.
You get your game day team sheet wrong, you get punished.
Wrong substitutes, bad sub timing, you get punished.

Welcome to the Premiership Slot. The honeymoon is over.

ReacherSaidNoth:
Liverpool's recruitment has been suspect. Too top heavy. Isak was an unnecessary buy, Ekitike was good enough.

They should have gotten a solid DM and CB, also Kerkez and Frimpong are not title winning material.

Said this weeks ago. Precisely after the first match.
Liverpool is top heavy but this is not atypical. Dutch managers do not have defenders in their tactical strategies. All of them. The Erevidisie is the shop window for comedic defending.

Unfortunately the truism that defences win trophies is lost on Slot. This time around Liverpool cannot depend on outscoring every team they meet particularly in a league where fear and respect is non existent.

By tradition one more loss and Liverpool can no longer win the title. 3 losses before November is a crisis.

Kelklein:
Too many ungoverned spaces in our country..

It's only natural that criminals take over those space as those who are responsible for governing them are too irrespónsible and clueless to do so..

I have told you people and this block headed government countless times that the only way to increase the density of security to 'govern the ungoverned spaces' is to institute state and local government police.

Meaning that wherever there is a habitat there should be police services available there drawn from the locals and paid for by the locals. They can pay the police after all they pay ransoms.

And for good measure every local government should have it's courthouse, jailhouse and stocks to hang those who are sentenced to death. No more bringing them to Abuja to be set free. Catch them, try them and hang them right where the crimes are committed.

Banditry will disappear in an instant.

He is an exposed and an educated man.
That is why he can say the truth.
He is not infected with the aggressive virus of feudalism.

Are we not sure Van Dyke is running on fumes.
Something tells me age is fast catching up.

Not even taken my seat yet.....choi..
