Like Kaduna and Katsina States, the Niger State Government has issued a set of directives to curb the rising insecurity and banditry bedevilling the State.



SOURCE

Same Executive order issued by the governments of Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna and Niger state. I am glad more state governors are beginning to realise there is more they can do than depend on the FG to resolve the crisis in their backyards. This move will negatively impact the economies of those states. But if it will help curb the criminal activities within the states, then it will pay off in the long run.

At least they are doing something unlike that clown in Benue State that mounts a soap box every month end issuing anti-Fulani propaganda and insulting Buhari to hide the fact that he is probably the worst governor in Nigeria.

A few years from now, Benue people are going to look back at the eight years this governor spent and realise it was an absolute waste. Nothing concrete to show but this consistent anti-Fulani propaganda.

This is dignity. Nigerian politicians know nothing about it.

They have seen poverty and believe the only way to secure themselves is to steal three generation's fortune and stash somewhere. Stupid lots.

Naaaaah this isn't dignity at all. Sounds more like laziness or a lack of vision and ambition to me. With an educational and experience profile like that, he is pecking way below his pedigree. Even God go vex for am.

If you doubt me, read about the parable of the talents told by Jesus in the Bible and relate it to this.

udomma1005:

We've come back to the main point.......
Las... Las.... Education Issa big scam, just use ur mind & hands, you'll rule your world!

Even if that was to be the case, how about his experience profile? Dude's been a CEO of a telecoms service provider for crying out loud!

This story makes absolutely no sense to be honest. 2 masters degrees in communication and engineering from Oxford University, former CEO, long experience in telecoms leadership and the only job he could get is pizza delivery boy

The story isn't adding up at all. We'll, except if he is under some kind of asylum arrangements that restricts him from applying for and getting any white collar job in Germany and perhaps the EU.

But with an educational and experience profile like that, he could offer business and management consulting services for a lot of money. The opportunities for someone like him is literally limitless anywhere in the world.

But pizza boy? Naaaah, there is more to the story.

Taich:

Why does he have to clarify every move?

Probably because a journalist asked him a question about the development.

You need to understand that when a public official is asked a question, the journalist can choose to make of the response they get, what they will...it is no longer under the control of the official what the journalist decides to write.

The official can of course decide to give a cryptic "no comments" response. Although that would still be news nonetheless.

wyt:
We have being in talks since January. We met in late February, then she visited me in late March. We started talking of marriage.

Now she is in my house for 4 months as she is doing her IT here. She found out I am not as buoyant as she wishes, as my business is dragging due to stuff I ordered that is coming through sea hasn't arrived, in fact, will arrive in late October or November.

We scheduled to get married last July but due to the financial issue and her parents saying we have to wait till she is done with school we have to change our plan but she is so bitter that she is not getting married as she planned. She will be going back to school in 2 weeks' time. since

Now, I have discovered that she hardly cum during sex, in fact, she hasn't cum while we make love. She once told me she makes herself cum that is before we met in person around February which she promised to stop.

After she found out my finances is not strong, she got back into chatting with men for cash, yes she told me that is how she makes money to survive in school, that she presents an aura of relationship to men and they will be giving her money, and when she is tired or when the person insist in seeing she will block or just fisle out.

Now she just told me she is lesbian, she is cos she can't get pregnant as her father is a pastor and can be satisfied without the risk associated with men/woman relationships. That she is attracted to women though she hasn't done that for a while as she has prayed against it. She still masturbates while in my house.

Note: she has gone to see my parents and I have met hers.

pls i want to know what i can do to stop her all these social immoralities.

Guy lemme put in short and straight English that will be easy for you to understand:

Run ooo! Japa! Tule! Free am!

When we pray to God to guide our choice of a life time partner, he most often does not send an angel to whisper in our ears. These observations about your fiancee are the sort of signs he lets us see, If you like, you can ignore them and forge ahead in spite of all of the obvious red flags.

Muhammadu Buhari Doesn’t Bear His Father's Real Name — Farooq Kperogi

An associate professor in the United States and social critic, Farooq Kperogi, has stated that the personality of President Muhammadu Buhari seems controversial including the fact that he does not bear the real names of his father.

The scholar wrote extensively on how the President’s surname, Buhari, was not his father’s real name but a name derived from a particular town.

Kperogi added that Muhammadu Buhari’s father is called Adamu Bafallaje (or Bafalle in Hausa).

He wrote:



https://www.farooqkperogi.com/2021/08/top-5-lies-about-buhari-that-wont-go.html?m=1

This essay doesn't say anything new and frankly, the point of this elaborate treatise is lost on me.

President Buhari is almost at the end of his tenure. I expect that people like Mr. Kperogi will be focusing more on the people that will be throwing their hats into the ring for the 2023 elections.

CAGED: 20 Days Captive In Nigeria - Rudy Rochman

"They Treated Us Like Animals"

The We Were Never Lost team journeyed to Nigeria to film an episode of their documentary series exploring the stories, struggles, and aspirations of the Igbo Jews, but while there the team got abducted by the Nigerian government and were held in cages for weeks.

Here is the full account of what actually happened.

“Our experience has only given us even more drive to uncover and share the stories of disconnected communities of Jews around the world.”

“We experienced weeks of what Igbo Jews face every day and if our suffering has led to mainstream Jews waking up to the reality of their Igbo family, then we our proud of the sacrifice we had to pay.”

Editor: Checkout How IPOB Bloggers captioned the story in the last photo collage

What did they expect really?

There is a separatist movement in that part of the country by people claiming to be jews and claiming Israel is about to launch a war on Nigeria to liberate them.

A bunch of guys show up from nowhere probably after obtaining tourist visas and begin to film a documentary. I frankly don't see how they could have avoided being arrested and interrogated.

I think the DSS only did what was right.

DSS detention isn't a 5-star accommodation so I don't know what the fuss is about. I am sure they were treated much better than their own security agencies will treat a Nigerian arrested for the same reason in their country.

The Niger Delta fought a war of attrition for years. The north took the baton and that has been on for over 10 years now. While we are doing all we can to quell that fire that was foolishly left to burn out of control, the southeast wants to walk down the road to perdition.

Afterall all said and done, no region thrives while a full-blown war is being fought on their land. This thing that IPOB/ESN is trying to start will only end in premium tears. I hope wisdom prevails on all sides.

Blurpy:
I think the behaviour of Nigerians in diaspora needs to be curtailed or rather we need to caution them often as they are bringing more problems to us. I don't get how some people will be lucky to get visa to a more developed country and go there to constitute nuisance and commit crime to earn a living, some of them even plan before hand to go and overstay their tourist or visit visa and become illegal immigrants.

This is all shades of wrong, we are doing more harm to ourselves as a nation, we should stop that. Some parts of Europe, Nigeria is synonymous with prostitution, while India, South Africa, Thailand etc, a Nigerian is being looked at as a potential drug dealer, other countries like Turkey, Ghana,UAE etc, the scammers there have done a very good job in giving us a bad name.

Recently, some Nigerians in Dubai engaged in cult clash taking human lives in the process which ended up getting a direct employment visa ban on Nigeria.

Ghana, on the other hand has visa free access to Singapore, Dubai, South Africa just to mention a few, while a Nigerian passport holder will have to go through a lot of cash and stress just to visit these places.

I know the country is bad and most people are looking to leave, we should not go to another country to commit crimes, we are only making this harder for ourselves, we will all be stuck here with nowhere to go.

There's no reasonable place a Nigerian passport can take you without visa, even amongst the visa free countries and visa on arrival countries, there's still a high chance of being sent back at the port of entry.

Imagine Nigerians having to wait for four to five months just to get a response from South African embassy here, same Africa oh, just response, not that it'll be approved oh.

Please we should be good ambassadors of our country, there are a lot of Nigerians doing fantastically well in various sectors as medical doctors, nurses , in academia as lecturers, engineers etc, let us not allow the bad deeds overshadow the good deeds.

You'll hardly hear of a Kenyan, a Senegalese etc being caught in a crime outside of their country. The pressure to make it big and fast then come back home to pepper others is a contributing factor! We can do other legitimate business and still make money.

Stop going to Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey etc all in the name of collecting UPDATE to make it!. Please!

It is really unfortunate that with all of these and so many more criminal activities of our fellow Nigerians in diaspora, we are quick to lampoon the country for the poor state of our international passport. Ghana recently gained an ease of visa restrictions to the UAE for instance and Nigerians went amock on social media blaming Buhari for the situation.

I feel that until we all realise that we are all collectively responsible for improving the country's image by carrying ourselves in line with the laws of other countries, we will not make much progress.

AroleOduduwa2:
I won’t be surprised if those awards were bought. He seem like a good cop, but I will like to know why he is yet to arrest any one from the north where banditry and terrorism has ravaged. Why only the southern most of which they kill extrajudicially. We don’t even know if they are guilty or not.

He did not arrest anyone from the north you say?

Are you sure you read everything that was posted? Read the list of arrests and accomplishments again...this time, slowly.

Please normalize reading beyond the headline ffs!

KratosCorp:
British government should explain why they issued a replacement passport to a British citizen? Oh lawd.

Just imagine how depraved and animalistic Nigeria has turned you despite your education. You now defend government criminality and lawlessness with shameless vigor.

This is how you lots defended Buhari for breaking into the judges' homes at night, forcing a CJN out of office illegally to install his stooge. Now what have happened to any of those judges after the media trial?

Did you see how you conveniently left out the fact Buhari sent criminal soldiers to kill Nnamdi KANU extra-udicially - in which process they killed 28 armless young men in cold blood for choosing to stand by their leader.

I'm not about to indulge you in a pointless debate about something that we both obviously know very little about.

Let us watch as the international politics play out. I guess if you are right, Britain will soon move mountains to rescue its illustrious citizen from the Nigerian government.

If I am right, on the other hand, Mr. Kanu will be tried by the Nigerian government and put away for a very long time.

Time will tell.

Danchibez:


U lacked knowledge of international law, so keep quiet. The Nigerian govt u r supporting fail woefully on this. No judge in the world will ever allow the trial of NK without sorting out the circumstances surrounding his kidnap from Kenya to Nigeria which is a breach of international protocol. Try to kn the meaning/process of 'repatriation', it is good for ur health

Ok o! International lawyer

If you like call it kidnap or abduction, Kanu is back in Nigeria to face trial. When the case resumes hearing, you can go to the court and display your knowledge of international law.

SeeThisLoser:


https://punchng.com/britain-firm-seek-kanus-consent-to-take-over-case/

Only a gullible bunch of illiterates will believe the nonsense that this lawyer is spewing.

Mr. Kanu is on trial in Nigeria; was granted bail and fled to another country. For this reason, his bail was revoked and the courts issued a bench warrant for his arrest. He was apprehended in a neutral country where he went of his own volition and brought back to Nigeria to face trial.

Nigeria is a sovereign country and whatever issues the UK has with his arrest will be resolved through diplomatic channels. Bad enough that the UK has to explain how and why they issued another passport to Kanu who is a fugitive from the law. After all, one of the conditions of his bail was that he deposit both his Nigerian and British passports with the courts.

If they like let them involve the largest law firm in the world, Kanu will be tried here in Nigeria and jailed if found guilty. Every other thing na diplomacy go settle am.

SenecaTheYonger:


They're intolerant like the North hence the xenophobia against every other countrymen living there. Burning of properties during endSARS was done by politically sponsored thugs.

Keep telling yourself that tale.

SenecaTheYonger:
I’m convinced now that South Africans are indeed like Northern Nigeria especially their men. The country is only civilized and prosperous because of the presence of White men. I didn’t believe this before, but it’s starting to make sense.

South Africa could not have become what it is if it was solely Blacks.

I can say that Nigeria is really trying because we’re solely Blacks with the north constant pulling is backwards but we still the strongest economy in Africa

This is a very silly take.

Was it northerners that looted and burnt down government structures in places like Lagos, Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Delta State and the likes?

In Cross River, they even went as far as looting the State Owned Psychiatric hospital, stealing hospital beds and signpost.

The super tucano was first launched in 2003. Why don't you undertake a simple Google research of the aircraft's capabilities and why it is best suited for COIN operations to avoid commenting in ignorance?

Nice one.
But can't Nigeria afford an F16 at least?

Even if we can, I doubt very much that they will sell to us.

Warplanes aren't gotten off the shelf. There are a whole lot of diplomatic maneuvers involved in their procurement. See how many years it took us to get this set of Tucanos delivered even though Nigeria had to pay way above the regular market price and 100% upfront for them.

I am not a constitutional lawyer. But I do not think there can be a completely new constitution without making provision for it in the current constitution. I might be wrong though, but I think there must first be an amendment before we begin to talk of a new constitution.

https://dailytrust.com/breaking-nlc-suspends-mass-action-in-kaduna

Good one from labour.

Now is a good time for Governor El-Rufai to show good faith by opening up lines of communication and reconciliation. At the end of the day, we are all striving for the good of Kaduna State and Nigeria at large, albeit in different ways.

The process of change is rarely ever pleasant. But the governor as leader of the people must do all he can to cushion the effect and ensure the ordinary people do not suffer too much.

oshozondii:


https://dailytrust.com/just-in-kaduna-crisis-gradually-degenerating-into-anarchy-nulge

Let the labour unions and the governor enjoy the anarchy they have jointly created because neither can be exonerated on this matter.

The idea of rightsizing the state civil service is a great idea but can be considered ill-timed given the dire state of the nation presently. However, this sort of total strike embarked upon by the NLC is not just ill-timed, but ill-advised. It seems our labour unions aren't in tune with modern ways of engaging and negotiations.

Unfortunately, the NLC is dealing with a governor who isn't afraid to walk a road alone provided he believes that he is on the right path. Follow El-Rufai's history from his days in the BPE up till the present and you will see that he is very consistent with taking decisions that other leaders shy away from for fear of rocking the boat.

The NLC should have exhausted all lines of dialogue rather than this full-scale "war" that they got into. Like El-Rufai said yesterday, the NLC has played its ultimate card with this attempt to shut down the state. Such a move does not really inconvenience the government but weighs more on the masses - the very people they claim to be fighting for.

In a country where most people depend on a daily wage to survive, how long does the NLC think it can sustain this strike action before those masses succumb to the pangs of hunger and call for a suspension?

I think the governor, being the leader of the state, should toe a more reconciliatory line by openly calling for dialogue rather than this hardline stance he has adopted. If I were him, I would go to the rallying point of the unionists and speak to them there and then work out a compromise. Going forward, the governor needs to eschew high-handedness and ensure that tough decisions are taken with a human face. Leadership is about give and take and this hard line does not augur well for anyone.

Similarly, the NLC needs to call of this needless "total strike" because, in the long run, it puts more stress on the people. They need to explore channels for mediation and seek a table with the governor to discuss the issues and agree on a plan. Going forward, strikes should be used sparingly and always as a last resort so as not to further exacerbate the fragile security situation across the country.

family6644:
I need serious advise from experienced nairalanders, please forgive my lengthy message because it requires detailed explanations.

I lost my wife exactly 3 months ago, 4 years of relationship and 13 years of marriage with her before she passed on, she left behind 3kids, 13yr old girl 7yr and 3yr old boys. I understand marriages are full of their challenges but we have been through the journey and we came out victorious having a loving and happy home, a union other partners appreciates.

My late wife was so organized and we trainned my kids to be independent while she travels on local business trips. So I just needed to continue our family habit of buying and stocking everything at home while they manage themselves with the help of an older maid who has been part of the family for many years, in short, we are faring quite well as I continue to mourn my wife and carry on with life.

Here is the problem, from a lot of condolence messages coming in on my Facebook, I had the chance to reply some of them 2weeks ago, I met this single mother of two who invited my kids to her daughter's birthday party, i was reluctant but she said it is time to start taking the kids out since they are yet to resume school, exactly what they needed at that point was the usual outing which has been missing for a while since their mother's sickness and after her demise, approx 6months in total. She said it's not a loud party that she needed only my kids for the small sitting room party.

I decided, went to the party with the kids, it was fun for the kids, I have not seen them happy like that in a long while, it made me happy too, they fell in love with the two sisters and their mother all like a miracle, my little 3year old boy started calling her mommy, others follow and it all seem like a family reunion. We left late at night with her girls asking that they meet again the next day which was a Sunday. To cut it short, my kids and hers agreed to meet the next day except for me. To be honest, the lady is a nice and lovely person to be with, she's a realtor who can work from home, she's real and beautiful, she has been a single mother for 4yrs after her husband travelled out and abandoned them to marry another woman, that's according to her.

She called me that her kids could not allow her rest, they said if we can't come, she should bring them to our house, I mildly rejected but i was persuaded by my daughter and my first son to have them around, I could see that they have bonded quite well, I want my kids to be happy too, that's what I have always wanted for them so I agreed and gave them our address. To cut the story short, I find it impossible to separate the two families that has come together to become one, when they were leaving back to their house my kids pleaded with me to allow them go with mommy to her house, I understand that is real because she's lovely with kids. I had the confidence to trust my kids with someone for the first time in my life. They didn't want to come back, I had to go and pick them up the next day, all of them made sure they came back home with me, we started living together as a family and everyone was enjoying it.

It became an automatic affair with her, I was worried about it been too early, I had to involve few of my friends to seek opinions, some were happy that i could get a good mother for my kids this soon, others asked me to stop the family union and give it a little time to study her character. I suggested some space but she felt very bad, she thinks I am sending them away. I had to allow them stay while I use the opportunity to observe the new found love and family.

12days after, I realize that in a bid to reorganize me and help me to move ahead in life, she totally disregards anything that concerns my late wife whom I still hold dear to my heart, same as my daughter and my adopted daughter, I don't like to address her as a maid. We loved and cherished my late wife, everything she introduced seems to be strange to the norms of the family. If I try to raise my concerns for her to adjust, she will simply tell me that the dead is dead and I should just forget everything about her including whatever she stood for as a mother and wife.

If I try to talk some senses into her to make her understand that brooding over the dead is different from honouring and respecting the deseased, she gets really angry claiming I am comparing her with a dead person. Whatever she discovers as our way of doing things in the family she disregards it and replaces it with her own way without minding how we feel as a family or how easy or difficult it is for us to adjust.

It looks like we are the only ones tolerating and accommodating them here, I have tried with no avail to stop her from insulting the memory of my late wife. I discussed with each and everyone at home, they all wish I could perform a miracle to have them leave because no one can tolerate the mother and kids anymore, I am equally fed up myself and willing to take a break.

I have a friend who is aware of my problems with her, he told me that I am the problem here, he said it will be hard for any woman to fit into our family way of doing things and it will be difficult for us to cope with a different way of life introduced by another woman.

I hope I can get one or two advices that could help. I am quite confused

I think you moved on too quickly by going into a relationship barely 3 months after your wife's passing. You did not give yourself and your kids enough time to heal and get the emotional closure required to move on.

On the other hand, your new girlfriend should be more understanding of the fact that you need time to get over your late wife. But you can't really blame her for being selfish and seeking to assert herself in a place she considers her new home.

Honestly I find it a bit weird and disrespectful to your late wife's memory that you got hooked with another woman so quickly after her passing, so much so that you let the new woman move in with you. But who am I to judge you?

My advice is that you get her out of your house and let her move back to her own space so you and your kids can properly mourn your wife. You can carry on with your affair with her but only outside your house. Take all the time you need to gain the closure that you need and then you can move on with a new relationship.

If the lady doesn't understand why this is necessary, then maybe it is a sign that you both weren't meant to be together. Frankly, the way she has carried on so far from your explanation is a major red flag in my opinion.

Please do be careful so you don't bring in someone that will make life a living hell for your children. Their well being should be your major priority for now.

May God guide you to make the right choices.

With this elongated detention without trial, the police may be deliberately sabotaging its own case and frankly, it is a shame we are all reacting in a sentimental manner.

The Law is blind and blunt. If it is a bailable offence, let him go since rhe courts aren't sitting. The DPP cannot order anyone's remand in custody - only a judge can do that.

We almost burnt this country down protesting police brutality last year. But here we are supporting illegal detention because we don't like the person involved.

The law should be seen to be fair to all. It is Baba Ijesha today; it could be someone you love tomorrow. On this count, Yomi Fabiyi is right - release Baba Ijesha on bail until the courts resume and he can be arraigned.

I think this guy's strategy is to say whatever nonsense he wants to say and then backtrack and apologize when called out. It's the same thing he did with the Ooni and other Yoruba Obas when he went on a rant, insulting the Ooni, only to backtrack, apologize and even deny some of the things he said live on video.

It is the same excuse that drunkards adopt when they hide under the guise of intoxication to say a lot of things and then pretend it was the alcohol talking when they become sober

How can anyone ask Baba Adeboye to be speaking about Yoruba nation in his church? No be juju be that Is RCCG only attended by the Yorubas?

This is a merely political press statement. No science to it. While I agree that the cost of the contract may have been inflated, I expect an opposition party that wants to criticize to be more concrete in their criticism.

I am sure the PDP has some good civil engineers in their ranks that can conduct some research and come up with another cost analysis showing how they plan to execute that same road for 155 billion. That way, we can all see that there is indeed a way to deliver the project at that cost and the government is trying to dupe the people.

Wow wow wow!!! Their secrets are gradually coming out to the public.

What secret? She is very correct to say what she said because appointments in every sector have been politicized.

The mere fact that the comments you mostly see in the media about the appointment of the Justices of the Appeal Court are where they are from or what religion they belong to, proves her point.

In Nigeria, we hear of an appointment and we immediately check the name to identify tribe and religion. The qualification of the appointee rarely comes up for discussions if it ever.

I agree the Deputy Speaker's statement was a load of nonsense....but then so is this threat from "Nigerians Abroad".
