Restructure the security architecture to enable grass roots policing, they will not. Change the personnel in charge of the security services to bring fresh impetus, they will not. The only time the security services are hailed is when they clamp down on law abiding civilians calling the government to order and this is obviously by a small group of fanatics who cannot refute the fact that the security problems facing Nigeria are much worse than any time before 2015.

Everyone is fair game now. Nigeria is fast degenerating to becoming a wild life expedition where poachers slaughter st will and goverment's bark is as timid as that of an NGO.

I support him. Empower as many people as possible. Paying salaries to 50 aides and having 45 families directly dependent on you from your emoluments is no mean feat.

Other greedy politicians should emulate him. I will do same when I get to the house of reps in 2023.
In that case I hope you don't get there. Empowerment my foot.

Now that all Nigerians (xtians n Muslims)are against the actions of these people,I believe they will now rest and allow peace to rain by going back yo their shelves.
Nigerians are rather against a government that refuses to obey the law, that has no respect for institutions. It is Nigerians and Nigerian security forces that will bear the brunt of this folly when this thing escalates and goes south. I will share no condolences nor RIP's for anyone who cannot speak up now that it remains civil disobedience. Once it becomes an armed conflict you cannot put the genie back into the bottle. It is ths next administration and administrators that will suffer it.

Remember Nigeria has no money to fight another war. We are in serious debt with no hope of serious investors to bail us out because amongst other things, the security situation.

Will never forget this car in my life. My father's first car( tear leather), the first car I had ever entered, and the first car I had ever driven.
I learnt how to drive in a beetle. Then if you could master the stick shift you could drive anything non articulated. Mum had two to beat the odd and even number regime Lagos state instituted to check traffic congestion. The white one brought me home from Ikoyi school in the aftermath of the Murtala assasination. .... memories....

Sports › Re: The VAR Used In Nigeria Vs South Africa Match (Photos) by Reference(m): 11:22pm On Jul 10, 2019
VAR is a disaster. It had done nothing to eradicate controversy from the game, but it has escalated it, dragged referees further down into disrepute and caused more fights and incendiary words against tournament organisers, FA's and regional soccer governing bodies.

From the England Women Team to the recently concluded World Cup which berated the Camerounian ladies for crying foul at VAR only to castigate it themselves when they lost to the USA ladies team, to the almighty Lionel Messi who took only his second red after a boil off courtesy of a tempestuous VAR blighted tournament

.... no one is satisfied, everyone is angry. The thing should be scrapped abeg. I never liked it for one day. I seriously shudder to think what kind of calamity it will bring to the EPL this summer, a league where every tenet of the soccer culture is brought to unprecedented scrutiny.

Super Eagle played very well this quarterfinal stage. More strength to them move to final. One Love
We have this culture of improving with every passing game. Observed this in Maroc 88 and confirmed it in the Westerhof team to Algers 90. Sometimes it works when the opponents enroute the cup are wacky but other times when our opponents are equally improving like the Cameroun team at Nigeria 2000 or just imperious like the Raber Madjer led Algerian 1990 team then it may prove a bridge too far.

Anyway the best teams in this tournament are still ahead. Everyone of the last four teams will have merited their spots and any can lift the cup.

LA liga hide the guy


I follow his Villarreal games a lot


Any big club that signs him go happy

This boy used Ramos and Marcelo for training
I still don't want him to leave Spain. It is too early and he is still learning. The good thing about Spain is the enormous gap between the big three and the rest of the league. It affords a young and upcoming player regular first team action in a smaller club but experience playing against some of the best players in the world.

I mean if you have the opportunity to run against a tough Atletico defence or face a beastly Sergio Ramos then your confidence and competence will be built a lot faster than say playing in the Eredivisie or the Portugese Superliga. England is a definite no in my opinion. The fame and fortune is there but for middle aged (25 - 30 yrs) footballers in my opinion. Let him build first for a couple more years at Villareal if they stay up.

What he played today is nothing compared to some of his plays in Spain. The guy is very good.

None of our business. They put him there and they will remove him. We always quake against godfatherism and root for democracy in its purest form. This is the why. Any stakeholder in Edo politicking who saw no evil in the selection of Obaseki should not bother us with cries about his de-selection. Our politicians are fond of pissing into their drinking gourds of proper institutional framework amd best practices.

These are the folks degrading the morals of society, stoking the embers of sexuality to which her fellow women become victims down the line.

In this unfortunate season of sexual assault we should consider all aspects of this menace both the cause and the effects.

This is where the problems incubate.

If you had a drug problem in society you not only go after the consumers but the suppliers of such drugs who profit from their trade. The lady in question obviously profits from this exposée so she should be held accountable for its damaging effects. It is that serious.

Politics › Re: Rape: Nigeria Senate Seeks Death Penalty For Rapists by Reference(m): 8:05am On Jul 10, 2019
Totally disagree. That is merely escalating violence. Once again the cause is left alone and the effects treated. Capital punishment has not deterred armed robbers or kidnappers, it has only made them more violent and more.determined to clear out witnesses, so it will happen with rape. Rapists will be more willing to clear evidence and clean out victims.

A more wholistic approach is needed to deal with the issue from all fronts. Together with the harshest prison sentences better enlightenment programs and education at all levels is required to de-sexualise society. Because wether we like it or not the various campaigns of perversion are currently winning the hearts and souls of men and women in this country presently.

even in developed countries he get some kind fire wey you go leave to burn itself out o especially if the life of the fire fighters are in threatened. I don't know much about other states but I know FCT fire services is one of the most active in this country.
Burn itself out fires are very few and are usually fires resulting from runaway chemical reactions. Sometimes when the burning building is structurally compromised they may stand back to restrategise on how to tackle the blaze remotely.

But to watch a fire burn out in a supermarket containing general goods housed in a concrete strucrure is just careless. The first concern should be preventing the fire spreading which in a densely built area such as Wuse is a real threat.

I was hoping for better quality opposition but 4 years down the line the PDP is patently incompetent as an opposition party hence the poor quality of governance we have seen these past years. Now that institutions have all been captured and the three legged stool of governance has coalesced into the Executive, this nation bears the characteristic instability of a unicycle, hence the intractable daily problems. There is no one left to give government any meaningful impetus. We are fully on autopilot and drifting like flight MH370.

Exactly. I shudder to think of a society traumatised by this savage blood letting. That is a viscious cycle of endless revenge loading if those perpetuators are not caught and brought to justice and I mean a justice that will enable the victims look their adversities in the eye before a judge and across a prison cage.

[quote author= post=80074010]We believe the TRUE and REAL muslims don't go about shouting ALLAHU AKBAR and go on killing spree.

These are the wicked and evil ones being sponsored by evil politicians.
The children of Shatan!

Only fools and nonentities that their brains have been polluted by TRIBAL and RELIGION shenanigans by politicians since 1960 will say all muslims are murderers.

We work with and have very good muslims around us here, as staff, colleagues, neighbors and every sphere of life.

May all the evil murderers and their sponsor all die painfully.[/quote]Why not ask for social justice and equity and the rule of law that will bring about the kind of advancement and prosperity to nulify their ideology and cut off the ready supply of willing hands to their cause.

For you it is just kill, kill, kill, die, die, die. What makes you fundamentally différent. This is what we ask for and have said continually. We need leadership that is pregnant with solution building ideas to our common problems not this one trick pony that continues down the same path that worses the situation everyday.

The Trump administration for instance faces a far bigger terrorism challenge at home and abroad and yet with his first term almost up and his knack for brinksmanship has not instigated any new military conflict and no single life has been lost in America to terrorism, a first in a very long period. What he has done is to strengthen insitutions and given Americas securiry infrastructure a much needed sense of purpose.

Thise are the serious, result oriented people we need leading a complex, disadvantaged society like ours.
