Let me dignify with a response. It will shock you to know that relatively close fate awaits more people... When citizens fail to demand accountability from their various leaders, that's the resultant effect... #FailedSystem #FailedNation

If someone told me its possible to have 24/7 stable electricity I would have told them that's not possible based on my myopic view within the failed system. I think the bigger question we should all ask ourselves is "ARE WE ALRIGHT?"
Nobody should kill himself or herself on account of bad leadership except if the individual desires to be a matyr for a cause. It may interest you to notethat this so called bad leadership did not come from Mars or Neptune. They come from within us. Born and bredin Nigeria some many years before us, some our contemporaries, others younger. What enables them malfunction in tje corridors of power is exactly the same thing that killed off that family.... the inability to know, understand and appreciate what life is all about.

I can guarantee you that if you brought the best set of leaders anywhere in the world and put them in the Nigerian set up, within a short period of time, they too will malfunction. Read ny posts very well and you will hear me repeatedly say this: Nigerians generally donot have the adequate knowledge to form the quality of society they do often desire.

Ask me tomorrow, next year, in ten years whether anyone has learnt anything from this incident. Chances are that few will even remember it.

Why should citizens use generator in the first place? This country is in deep trash and everyone prefers to die alone while our leaders steal our common wealth to fund their luxurious lives.
Don't blame those who lost their lives, blame the leaders who do not see anything wrong in their inability to fix the nations problem.
You say 'don't blame those who lose their lives ignorantly'... Are you alright at all. So because political leadership cannot take care of me, I should then comit suicide.

Ignorance is a killer. It permits you the privileges of enjoying technology without appreciating the responsibility of understanding how they function.

For goodnes sake how can a police sergeant, a Federal law enforcement officer not know how to safely operate a device as basic as a portable power generating set. It is written clearly on the first page of the manual and inscribed on the body of most brands.

Good idea. Criminals should not have access to the proceeds of their crimes. Bad implementation. It should be done legally. In normal societies it is at the instance of the Judiciary. Mr. President and other actors and proponents are leaving themselves open to litigation if and when they leave office and the Judiciary will not be there for them.

Private universities are the future of Nigeria's educational system. If you disagree please wear a condom after 2 kids. I simply cannot see any Nigerian government spending 25 percent of its budget on education under this structure...

Sorry if I'm misunderstood. I mean 25 percent will bring the quality of all government institutions anywhere near the levels we see the top private universities operating.

Ade3000yrs:
Hmmm, lets not be too quick to comment as if the affairs of the Nigerian military versus the mischievous terrorist miscreants were some sort of Chelsea versus Barcelona European Championship football showdown. All I can say is that the military is winning the fight. Nigeria has come a long way in combating insurgency on her territory. The seemingly faceless ragtags are now know with faces & demystified. However the military & the entire security structure is not where it should be due to government negligence & neptism putting the lives of its force operatives at risk on every operation, All I can say categorically is that we are going places and the Nigerian military is one of the top to be reckoned with in the world and number one in Africa. The Nigerian military only need to incorporate innovation to win the war in one swoop & squash the living day light out of the miscreants & enemy of peace & progress.

The Nigerian military needs to embrace the art of digital warfare. Nigeria needs to go from analogue warfare to digital warfare. With more robots on counter insurgent expedition and less humans to reduce number of casualties on the part of the military and the entire security operatives. smoking out the insurgency even before it was ever conceptualised. nipping the crime in the bud before they are ever committed. Government needs to invest heavily on human resources & promoting or strengthening social values.
They say they donot have the basic tools a combat infantry support system should have and you are talking about robots. Are you serious at all. The fact that some units have been in the theatre for upwards of four years.... FOUR YEARS should alarm any one. There is something very wrong that we are not privy to.
Politics › Re: Boko Haram Attacks: Fears As Army Setbacks Cast Shadows Over 2019 Election by Reference(m): 6:14pm On Nov 29, 2018
If the armed forces are not able to contain what may be looking like a multinational insurgent force then the Federal Government should begin serious studies on the legalization of fire arms in Nigeria. If there is one thing no nation on earth has ever contemplated and never will, is the invasion on mainland United States of America.

For one thing amd one thing alone. The Constitutional right to bear arms. Then you have a potential pseudo military reserve of another 100 million people including direct resources in the event their military is overwhelmed. Nigeria needs to restructure to gel society properly along patriotic nationalistic lines if we are to survive long term as a nation. It is clear that our fractious nation has let in external elements willing and ready to cleave her apart.

We must remember that when a man's immune syatem is weakened it doesn't take suoer bugs to lay him down permanently. The success of these insurgents is a clear indicator of just how weak the Nigerian state is. We are being found out most embarrassingly. Someone was saying on a radio station in Umuahia today in responding to General Buratai's latest assertion, saying 'if we cannot handle what was purely an internal security problem what happens if our armed forces were to be at war with other NATIONS'.... that have better organisation and a lot more resources....

Let us admit that at this point in our history we are indeed very weak and seriously vulnerable now. We need to start thinking outside the box when we have no other aggressions against us.

You can see what political crticism can do. Mr. President was supposed to be on leave and will have gone if not for the barrage of interests in this unfortunate matter by opposing political blocks.

Now does he look more Presidential or not? Does he look more emphatic or not. Will the troops have their morale lifted or not for the betterment of the security situation of the nation. Is this not the product of a functional, workingdemocracy ornot.

So when ignorants use blanket statements like, 'stop politicising the confflict' when they really mean, 'donot criticise the poor leadership qualities if our principal', they should realise that we all lose if such persists and leadership itself is undermined.

So we can see in a snapshot first the importance of political dynamism where power is checked by equilibrium. We can see theimportance of having issue based campaigns that address the real issues affecting Nigerians. So we can see why it is important not to shut up and shut down civil dissent. Now we can see why a desire for a one party autocracy is a death bed idea.

This is how nations develop. Incumbents take the challenge of civil critism to up their game and improve governance. Hurricane Katrinabrought out the worst of George Bush II and he got a lot of stick for it, from even his own party men. He did not hide behind the veil of national disaster and threaten his critics as politicising the event and undermining a national institution in FEMA the way folks say the military is being undermined. (AS THERE IS JUST NO WAY TO DISCOURAGE A TRUE PROFESSIONAL BY CRITICISM OR UNDERMINE AN INSTITUTION BY FACTS).

By the time Hurricane Rita came a while later President Bush was more prepared, the response was better, more lives were saved and the nation was better for it. If it will take public to point out things so be it. No one likes being criticised. This is understandable. But when you put yourself forward as a democratic leader you automatically sign up to an improvement program that will either build your competence or break your soul. Mr President and his men had better decide which....

This is becoming stale. A brave soldier will be saving half of his salaries for perilous time like this. What is wrong with buying good arms with your monthly pay? Must the federal government do everything for you? Our armed forces are not ready yet.
Ask me. I should have bought 105mm HE artillery shells that go for $1,500 a pop with my wonderful monthly salary of N438.50 back in the day.

Though the dollar was round about N1.20 it will take the monthly wages of four guys to launch one round and hope it counts.

Gerard Pique is not your every day footballer. This was just a minor infraction.

For your information, pique is one of the smartest people (not footballers), people in the world. His IQ is up there with that of Bill Gates and Albert Einstein if not higher.
He is Harvard-educated and has also been appointed to head the Davis Cup i.e. Tennis world cup.

He also has a plethora of business interests.
It cannot happen to him!
Oga. William Gates will be livid incurring a fine of that magnitude. And for your information how you spend your money is a serious indication of your IQ. Brilliant people donot waste theirs on needless and unecessary fines when the source of the income is from a limited, depreciating asset. Waste not, want not is a universal principle if the individual will not end up broke, involved in crime or some other demeaning endeavour.

So because he chooses a white or fair lady all ladies should rush into skin coloring like a herd of sheep. I am at a loss at exactly what is behind or driving the body enhancement movement.

And here a man says its not worth the risk and expense.... and the victims are at his throat.... you ladies are simply impossible.
