If there is empirical evidence that this program is slowing the uptake to the insurgency or starving it of recruits then so be it. That is the pit we have found ourselves in. But I must say it leaves a very, very bitter taste in the mouth. Like I said many times before this is what should have been done a long time ago, long before much blood had been shed.

But government driven by a host of infantile citizens will chant war songs then do what amounts to ridiculous acquiescence.... capitulation, when the price becomes too heavy to bear and its warmongering ineffectual. Just think of IPOB or the Shiites. Treat them humanely when you can. Adminster justice in fairness. But they won't.

If this was restricted to mere criminality in the long gone days of the Yaradua regime, these fellows will be serving time or reconstructing vandalised property in a chain gangs but I guess the old saying of Jean Rostand: 'kill one man and you are a murderer, kill a million and you are a conqueror, kill all men and you are a god', holds true here. The worse your crime in Nigeria the better your outcome .... all courtesy of a society of loose morals and ignorant citizens.

Who is the "it" that said that the results will be out by Friday? The competent authority on that matter has stated what the results are, but you said that, "It is said that the results will be out by Friday", so who is the "it" that said that the results will be out by Friday??

That is what I heard on the news this morning. I am not in Lagos and certainly not in Reddington and you are certainly not in Wuhan so news is what we all use in tracking what is going on. That is why I also asked for who has the facts. Facts is what made the ebola crises whatever it became.

eyinjuege:
The deaths of those Drs are controversial and I'm sure you must have heard conspiracy theories that they could have been murdered for whistle blowing.
Who are the 2000 deaths that died? Were they young people or elderly / immunocompromised ones?
Pls do not think I'm saying elderly people should be allowed to die ooo, the virus shouldn't be taken with levity either.
However, misinformation is worse than no information at all.
Neither am I saying those who drink,smoke, have HIV should die from the corona. I just raised possible points that could cause lowered immunity in fit young people, who we know have their own lifestyle.

The vulnerable demographic are the elderly, children those with compromised immune systems and those with pre existing respiratory challenges, e.g asthmatic folks.

A worrying problem about this virus is that even those who recover are discovered to have residual lung damage, scarring.

This is in response to rumours that a Chinese national at Reddington Hospital has the Corona Virus. The patient does not have the virus.

But it is said the results will be out by Friday. So who has the true end of the story.
It is just a matter of time before it hits Nigeria. I have given up hope it could at least wait till the rainy season when airborne infections drop but here we are.

My concern now is for the aged parents who are more vulnerable medically and will be more difficult to quarantine.

I don't think we have fully appreciated the magnitude of this impending disaster. Was speaking to a well versed doctor yesterday but the medical community in general appears a bit too relaxed for my liking. Granted this is just like any other flu outbreak and the mortality for the common cold is even worse but the sheer economic impact is worrying.

For folks like us who operate nuts and businesses how exactly do you work from home. We literally operate 24/7 in close, dense proximity. There are expensive materials that will be ruined if unused for just a matter of hours not even weeks that are stocked in quantity for production economic reasons.

I just don't know how this willwork and the government isnot coming out withdefinitive plan policy statements on how it plans to handle this matter in the eventuality of a serious outbreak. Will there be ar run on banks for cash. Will there be travel or journey restrictions between and within states for those moving goods, will the markets remain open. Will there be voluntary or mandatory quarantine measures. How much domestic or industrial stocking. What will the game plan be.... What is the Nigerian government planning....

Because it is coming.

engrobidigbo:
I salute the feat of Dangote with this project but for the sake of telling the truth, this fertilizer plant ain't nowhere near the largest fertilizer complex in Nigeria even in the world. Indorama Eleme Fertilizer And Chemicals Ltd is bigger than Dangote fertilizer Ltd with about 500MTPD extra capacity. Indorama fertilizer produces 4000MTPD and the 2nd train of same capacity is already under pre-commissioning and shall start commercial production in December 2020. Dangote fertilizer has 2 trains of 3750MTPD each.

I don't unferstand the whole story around this because I remember when Indorama bought over the plant it was said the target was to make Nigeria self sufficient in fertilizer production, urea to be specific and with the upgrade they made they were targeting the export market so what has happened.

Anyway the benefit of this will be a competitive market and hopefully good value to end users.

Such a tragedy. Condolences to the military.

Enjoy life?.... What a wasteful, selfish, unmotivated mentality. Too bad that he couldn't be reached before all opportunities elapsed.

When you look around you at society today there is every temptation to give in and start thinking selfishly as well but the truth is that we are not made for that but for love, to love one another by sacrificing to ensure all humanity prospers.

That is what even animals have in their DNA. Purpose. And an overwhelming desire to survive and thrive. Mankind on the other hand even with the blessing of a soul sometimes just cannot see and understand that, so creates around himself a cruel world.

Life is all about making sacrifices out of love for humanity till the very end. If it is how to enjoy it.... I agree.

Why not obtain Ghanian nationality then. It could be an option if possible, dunno. The Lebanese have been doing that in Nigeria for generations and they operate every sort of businesses in Nigeria..

edoairways:
So is now a crime to ask for a review?

Apparently it is. I guess a verdict of the Supreme Court is now sacrosanct. Well played judges. It is a win-win scenario for all. The institution fighting back to uphold its constitutional powers but the rap it got round the knuckles because of its dodgy judgements will cause quite a bit of introspection. They know they are under the microscope going forward.

The next FUBAR and it won't be the DSS visiting for a nightcap.

After berating the US and Russia for restrictions and bans as alarmist and cruel they do exactly the same. This is what happens when an autocracy is tested just like Nigeria in so many ways..

I was looking through some info and it is said that the last time both Real Madrid or Barcelona finished outside the top four in Laliga was in the 1943/44 season, the 13th year since the league was establiahed. This is an uncanny level of consistency by any sporting team as a whole and shows the sheer degree of professionalism by which both sporting franchises are run. Little wonder they dominate Europe with ease.

They are looking for money.
No developer fears Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development again.

These people are very corrupt

.

When you exploit the corrupt you sign up for a vicious cycle of exploitation. Just do what is right and settle the matter once and for all. Why expose yourself to endless blackmail.

Here they come again, tampering with stuff that clearly shoukd be left in peace....tthen boom a new virus slays a thousand and threatens the world.

Bubewilson:
You never mentioned in your initial post that you live in a flat. Secondly the poisoning allegation is subjective because you don't have prove.

You live in a flat and that means shared tenancy. I assume all your dogs don't stay indoors with you.

For you to assume that your neighborhours are poisoning them suggests that the dogs prolly don't have an enclosure only you have access to. Possibly they come in contact with your neighbours which shouldn't be.

People get away with so many wrong things in this country and feel it is there right. How and why should you be keeping plenty dogs in an apartment that is not exclusive to you. It's totally wrong and you should apply caution.

Turning a residence to a business centre. Why can't he establish a proper pound and do things the right way. Now he wants to incriminate his neighbours because conscience has come calling. He knows he is offensive so the suspicion.

I can imagine the racket made by raising dogs for trade.

Commentor:
I had my masters degree in UK, please state where you were educated?

I can say that I have seen miniskirts, tight wears, short cut tops but never a case of intimidation.

Give us examples of a secular university in the west that mandates a girl cannot dress as this lady did.

Why not show us how naked you were in your classes. People just come up to tell all sort of stories thinking others are clowns. Everyone has a tolerance level for self expression or whatever you call it nd the liberties any man should enjoy will always be held in context anywhere in the world.

Simply show me the most extreme you have seen or done.

Focusmind:
Nigerian lecturers and stupidity - He should have faced his business of teaching in the class than getting concerned about the girl's wear.

There has never been any love between lecturers and students in Nigerian universities.

Lecturers always look down on students without respect - some even feel that they are doing you a favor by teaching you.

Go abroad and see synergy between lecturer and students - seasoned Professors with world class publications in learned journals.

Here, you would see one frustrated sadist forming god.

Oga. Sexual harassment is on the front burner in college business these past few months so you expect that consciousness will remain high for the forseeable future until incidents are brought under control and calm is restored.

Everyone in the community wil be looking to protect his position and be sen to take action where possible. When the ill wind has blown over then a nude student can be seen on the laps of a lecturer in his office and no one will bother since that is what you call respect.

Like I will always tell one of my Portharcourt friends on the terrible menace of police, SARS and checkpoints that we all dislike the police so ifvwe want them off the streets and out of our faces we will have to appeal to the society to quit committing crime, simple.

If lecturers donot take action they will continue to be victims of themselves. Since like I said, our society has decided that 'the offering of a bribe is not a crime, just the taking'.

dataking:
Are we in the West. White man follower. Have you been following the #metoo movement.

Don't mind them. Saying things they don't know and telling lies along tje way. Who said colleges abroad don't have dress codes and who says university lecturers and high school teachers dont eject students for improper dressing from time to time. They talk as if everyone is emerging from a cave having been locked up since the dinosaurs roamed the earth.

His class, his rules. Wise men fighting back. That is his threshold for sexual harassment and he has every right to exercise it since society will not hold the female folk responsible in anyway for the ills of wanton sexualisation. It is foolish men that will sneer at this, fall into temptation and cry out when led to prison in chains.

Hmm...as if the PDP is outstanding in the states it controls. It has performed abysmally in opposition since 2015.

Correcto:
NUC in a position of weakness makes me laugh

Yes they can. Even MDCAN can barely control its members. They will just walk away from.the job.

The NUC will not win this one. It doesn't have all the aces. It will only make a bad situation worse. Supply is way below demand at both ends of the spectrum, that is the teeming students to be taught and the teeming patients to be cared for when Nigeria can barely hang onto 1 out of every 2 qualified doctors.

If they don't negotiate this one out then the health sector will be severely damaged. There is a pandemic growing round the world at present. The demand for medical professionals will soon explode and nations that are desperate will soon be raiding our moribund hospitals.

The NUC doesn'r hold all the aces. It should choose its battles wisely and timely.

And what is the overwhelming response of a beleaguered. Correct. Read the posts previously then you know why a country can be run down so bad. An indolent citizenry that sees their misfortunes as normal. There is nothing that can be done for such people.

And should be sentenced to spend his remaining days in prison. Good riddance.

Over 2,000 people are now confirmed dead, when people mess with nature, mess with animals they have no business with and consider every crawling, creeping, running, climbing, swimming and flying thing on earth food. I guess these ones have not given a thought they could be playing russian roulette with their lives... slow, painful death it may be.

MrBrownJay1:
sadly, you are so insecure and narrow minded that you believe such thing only happens to black people lol.... unruly/aggressive passengers can be restrained anyway they see fit (for the safety of other passengers). here EDUCATE YOURSELF below so i dont have to do it for you (the exact same thing with white people):

Thanks for shutting these naysayers up. Sentiment is the bane of the black man. They will never ask questions or seek facts but jump to support skin. Always race conscious yet complain bitterly at home about systemic and wanton criminality that has made their homes unlivable.

TheApologist:
Though not a fan of FFK, I believe in the interest of all and for the sake of fairness power should return to the south but in all honesty restructuring is the way out in the long term. There's a need to renegotiate our coexistence as a nation by sitting down to discuss the conditions of the union if there will be any further justification for the union in the first place.

Exactly what I will say. The man is a nut job, but what he said is the truth. Except one is totally crazy. You should know that Nigeria is simply unworkable. A country on a perpetual slide, an irreversible decay, a country that has not seen a better next year since independence is fundamentally broken.... and should be repaired. Even if you lived in a guilded palace for 60 years at some point you will need renovation, reconstruction or maintenance.

We just cannot continue like this.

Stories by a society that worships money not the power of human capital. Most of those complaining will still sell theor democratic franchise for a morsel of pottage. What is the difference. A failed citizenry simply cannot get a proper government that can deliver the dividends of democracy.

Just watch every single person that wails and comments negatively... just touch their pet king or emperor and they will tear you apart.

money121:
Nice one

How is it a nice one. The effect is that hiring staff will become more tedious and the process will be laced with all manner of stiff conditions and hard contract clauses. Banks will become reluctant to hire, period. It bites both ways. A free market hates regulations. You simply cannot legislate your way to prosperity and in this case job security.

The CBN should let banks do whatever they have to do to survive within reasonable limits. The CBN shares more responsibility than banks for the poor state of the economy of which the dynamics of the job market are critical factors in play.

If the economy is good jobs will be created and secure. Banks donot have the liberty of so called external reserves from crude sales to toy with irresponsibly like the CBN. They are a business not an NGO. If they go under much more people will suffer,

JasonScoolari:
I see some comments above begging the bank to take responsibility of the potential Lawrence Anini....


So, we should applaud a teenage thief and give him necessary support for robbing a bank? Or we should raise a GoFundMe account for him to achieve his full potential as a notorious bank robber?



By the way, is this the ROD we were told to beat our children with in the Bible?

Yep. That's it. If you quivering ypu're probably the parents of that boy who should join him in custody.

Comedian2019:
The Governor should support the indigenes to start cow ranching. That would provide healthy meat and will automatically phase out consumption of sick cows paraded by fulani herders.

A better option. I am not a fan of blanket bans. The State can support investors to raise cattle the civilised way and the herdsmenace will.die naturally.

chariisGRACE:
Wow!

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BAN THE SALE OF BEEF because:

Beef is the No. 1 source of meet for the common man (Beef is the cheapest among other source of meat like the goat, chicken and turkey).

If Okowa bans beef, wetin people go chop?

The best thing to do is to create their own Amotekun or ban open grazing. (Even the open grazing no go work)

Thank you.

Beef is not cheap anywhere in the south. By the way goat meat it healthier.... but I simply cannot stand the gamey aroma and will not touch it except the meat is heavily sedated... Sorry spiced...

Okowa should drive the state to massive animal husbandry since these herdsmen refuse to become cowboys and ranch their beasts.
