Nigeria is blessed with virtually everything, including criminality.
Our government is just a reflection of our society.

The health of a nation can only be good as the health of the family.

What I really don't understand is why this government is playing with fire?
Why is this government always swift in denying the death or hardships of her citizens in the hands of terrorists they have the means to stamp out?

They tell obvious lies to beautify ridiculously obvious incompetence.

There are videos of this said attack made by the terrorists

Amanyanabo is Ijaw word

Loosely translated, it means "Owner of Town/Village/Community/Kingdom.

Other variations are" Pere" "Amannana-owei" "Ibedau-owei" "Ibenana-owei" etc.

The excerpts you attached, linking Ibani, Opobo and others to Ibo origin is just a bucket of idle talks and lies though.

You just made my day Chief...I throway salute

Thank you sir

Is it that this country has no government again

Again, is it that there are no reasonable people in this affected areas that would organize themselves to fight this people since government has shown obvious lack of willingness to protect them

The survivors only waiting helplessly for their own day to be cut down

No be lie

Even the President is not suffering any sleepless nights.
When the noise from complaints get too loud, he calls Femi Adesina to check anywhere in the world they are holding parties, then zoooom...he is off.

Nigerians should be wise enough in the coming years never to inflict themselves with this type of bad luck spinning government

Modified: Most of this government's apologists are unwell, and one can easily tell from the way they talk.

They talk of Covid, government already borrowing as far back as 2014, Oyedepo being a fake man, PDP stealing for 16 years etc as part of the reasons for the hardship in the country.

Firstly, this government has been useless right from the day it was inaugurated. There is no development indicator one can easily point to that was initiated by this government before the advent of Covid.

Secondly, whether government was already borrowing as far as 2014 is immaterial because this present government has not stopped borrowing. With over ten trillion borrowed, stifling custom duties, VAT increment, oil proceeds etc, this government has not been able to translate the above to any thing meaningful. Borrowing is never a problem when it is for economic gains. It becomes a problem when it is for burying the dead, and the latter is what Buhari is doing.

Thirdly, its quite disheartening most people don't recognize the powers of the office of Mr President in a State system. He is the embodiment of our sovereignty, and in most cases holds power over life and death.
Comparing what he can do, or ought to do with such power with that of a man of god is not only nonsensical but also stupid.

Buhari is elected and paid to secure Nigerians, make our lives better and secure better hope for the future, a future we should be proud enough to bequeath to our children. Oyedepo whether a fake man or not is none of our business. He is a business man that has not violated any known Nigerian law. Nigerians never elected him as a pastor so he is not responsible for securing the country, Buhari is paid to do that.
Deflecting attention from the ineptitude of this government to perform with the narrative that Oyedepo is fleecing his congregation is not only whataboutism but also stupid. Its just like the proverbial chicken that left the knife that killed it to fight against the pot.
Religious places are swelling with people today largely because of the hopelessness inflicted on them by this government. It is a truism that when government makes lives better, people will have very little reasons to run to religious institutions for succor.

Fourthly, the narrative that Jonathan would have been worse is very depressing to hear. Does that narrative mean Nigerians deserve what they get now, or should be grateful for what they are currently going through? This line of thought can only be found among people with severed attachment from common sense.
Part of the reasons elections are conducted every four years is for new governments to correct previous mistakes and make lives better generally. Buhari is not elected to inflict more deaths, poverty, hate for one another, hopelessness etc on Nigerians.

Lastly, because I have to stop. Oyedepo having sleepless nights will not save Nigerians from been mowed down by terrorists as they are currently doing all over the country. Sounding the warning alarm, telling truth to power etc are part of the few things he can do as a private citizen.
Nigerians should be more worried that their President is not having sleepless nights despite the number of daily deaths in the country. A president that goes to parties all over the world when his citizens are mowed down daily. Nigerians should be more worried that their president is not suffering any sleepless nights despite the wanton poverty and crime rate that has bedeviled our national life. A president that is not showing any signs that he is willing and ready to do the job he is elected for.
I'm sure Nigerians that has lost loved ones to the wickedness of this government are not bothered if Oyedepo is sleeping well or not because they know they are not his responsibility.

Nigerians should learn to hold their elected public officials responsible for our national misery. People are dying in large numbers due to human actions yet we are more interested in how Oyedepo is the gatekeeper of hell, or how he is robbing from his church members.

Face your comatose president that has destroyed every shred of our national life and civilization

Haba! 21 months closure kwa

So T.B.J has died now close to 2 years OP?


Between, may the Peace of God abide with His Church and His people. Divine unction fall upon the Apostle of the Commission.

Physical gatherings were already halted around March 2020 as a result of Covid-19. It coincided with the founders death, so between then and now is 21 months.

The date is not about when the founder died, its about having physical gatherings in the church. T. B Joshua was conducting online services before his demise

Some of you don't have any sense of decorum.

Why are you insulting me for airing my opinion in a public forum?

Does Okowa know you?

If writing constructively is a big task for you, don't ever engage me again. I never even asked for your opinion.

If Okowa's government is a good one, don't you think the onus is on you to state it for others to learn? This very post, is it not about massive corruption in the government you're holding brief for?

Finewarriboy:
Big lie... Okowa is the best governor in Nigeria... I am an Urhobo Boy in Delta State so i know what i say.

Well, I'm from Delta State too so I equally know what I am saying.

Buhari's government is good to Femi adesina, but that doesn't make Buhari a good president

Okowa's government is among the worst in our history.

Eight years of nothingness

100k instead of getting a balance of 320k
you will get like 319, 850. Just imagine?!

My brother na wa for dis people o

It is unfortunate that the wind of modernization is not blowing in their direction, particularly Ogun State.

Ritual killings is gradually becoming a cultural heritage there, if the news emanating from that area is what it is...

Skull mining training school.

The obsession with the gruesome killing of others for money purposes is what I don't understand. Most of these oddities that deal in this dastardly act are always looking wretched and ugly.

Government needs to deal with this issue squarely and swiftly...with a severe punishment.
Imagine being born, fed and trained to responsible adulthood, only to be killed by an ignorant and wretched looking club of oddities for money purposes.

Tueh

Lagos should take packing of dirt more seriously. The habit of people dumping heap of refuse around major roads is worrisome.



Again, LASTMA and area boys menace should be looked into. I wonder why government has not shown any concern despite the several complaints about these notorious LASTMA officials and their unofficial brothers; agberos

Repair of feeder roads should be looked into as well. Most of them are in terrible condition.

God bless Lagos

"Then he began to threaten that he’d deal with me and that he could kill me and nothing would happen"

This is why Nigeria is a savage kingdom. People do things because they know they would not be held accountable for their actions, even to the point of taking another's life if the means is available.

A protector of the law, threatening to kill whom he's under oath to protect

Are you this stupid and daft? Like they can’t remove my sim and put on another phone? You’re really an empty garden please stop derailing my topic till brainy ones bring up an idea

Requiring my transaction password? Did you not read the part I told you they could reset my transaction pin via sms according to what the banker told me

Maybe the banker didn't give you the full information.

No one can reset your USSD pin without knowledge of your account number, date of birth or other security questions. Except they used a technology that is unknown to the general public, the thief, whoever it is will answer/give some personal security questions before resetting any of your bank passwords.

Secondly, daily transfer through USSD is 20k, any amount larger than that will require the last six digits of your card number. For them to have transferred 180k, it means they have details about you. Then, if it is your bank app, a password is required to operate it.

OP, was your phone stolen in your house or elsewhere? The story you narrated is asking many questions....

When I tried to reset my own pin.
It first requested for my account number, then date of birth, and another question.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/346795-4-7-million-have-participated-in-nysc-since-inception-dg.html

You should have known that the speaker (DG) does not have valid data to track the activities of the agency he leads.

However, I presume this does not include Graduates over the age of thirty years.

So I dare to say; the foundation upon which your opening argument is laid is faulty. You cannot dispute the population figure of Nigeria with mere statistics from NYSC participation.
There are hundreds of thousands of graduates above thirty years that do not participate in NYSC.

Again, there is extant data with estimates that Nigerian Universities and Polytechnic(s) churn out six hundred thousand (600,000) graduates annually.
Now when you juxtapose this with the average age of college students, what the DG said is highly contestable.

Lastly, an assistant director within the same NYSC reported in 2014 that about 2 million graduates has passed through the scheme since inception in 1973. It was reported by same Premium Times that you quoted.
Here: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/157214-two-million-graduates-passed-nysc-since-inception-official.html

So it took 5 years for more than 2 million graduates to participate in the scheme between 2014 and as at 2019 that the DG made that statement. But it took more than 40 years for 2 million graduates to participate in the scheme between 1973 and as at 2014 when the assistant director made his own statement.

NB: the figure both NYSC officials gave us when combined is 4.7 million graduates.

Stop thinking weird.

How will you feel if your mother gets pregnant for your driver and end up marrying him

The OP is not biologically related to grandpa, so I don't understand the parallel you are trying to draw here. Papa's son is happy.

The unhappy one here is not the son, but another woman married into the family just like the maid.

The only problem here is pride. Pride of seeing someone below you rise to your level. The house belongs to the father, and obviously his family including his son is happy with his decision.

OP can't claim to care more about grandpa than his own son. She should allow her husband to worry about his father's decision.

We all prioritize our happiness above others most times as humans.
Unfortunately for the OP, grandpa's happiness is more superior than her happiness in his own house

God bless the United States of America... Leader of the free world.

Nigeria: my criminal is good; your criminal is bad, kill their son, leave my son alone...don't judge her because you do worse things, you don't have the moral right to criticize him/her. Always cut corners, steal public wealth and intimidate others, terrorists laden military etc.

The only things we know how to do well here

The Km of roads enumerated for rehabilitation in the North-West is far more than all the ones listed in the Southern region combined

Saintmary:


Point of correction: Women are not born to carry shame.

Rather, we respect ourselves.

Thanks for the correction.

I never meant it in that way though, the reason I said she should give her body the respect it deserves.

Women give serious consideration to whether certain actions would bring shame upon them or not before they do certain things, and they do that far better than men.

Good evening

Tonto Dike is everything that is wrong with a young woman.

She has no modicum of shame or decorum that a woman should ordinarily possess in abundance.
A woman should give her private part the respect it deserves...

Nigerians have issues with use of English


Terrorism;.. The calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of. goals that are generally political, religious , or ideological

ESN , ISWAP , Boko Haram don't want your money, ESN want Biafra, ISWAP want Islamic state of West Africa province, Boko Haram wants a country withoutwestern education. If you like pay them 100 million that's their objectives as terrorist


Bandits

a robber or outlaw belonging to a gang and typically operating in an isolated or lawless area.

Zamfara , Kaduna, Bandits don't care if you are Muslim, Arewa , one Nigeria, Fulani , Hausa or Ibo, all they care about his your money, property, rustled cattle, rape , and personal gain


.

The supposed Bandits that opened fire on civilians that led to the death of 49 people recently in Sokoto, what was their reason for doing so?

Is it that they wanted to steal 100 million? Or they wanted to steal foodstuffs?
We can keep deceiving ourselves with phoney rhetorics till when we no longer have ourselves to deceive anymore.

This your attempt at making a dichotomy between Bandits and other gangs is very sickening and detestable.
"Bandit" is even a coinage of the FG... Has these gangs ever identified themselves as Bandits? Who identified them as bandits and for what purpose?

People in your opinion, that care only about money and materials gains would burn down a full village without taking anything? People that care about money would go to a market and open fire on harmless citizens?

Please tell us what they stole after they killed 49 in a market in Sokoto?

It's disheartening that most Nigerians are now drunk from the evil cup, so much so that we now elevate partisan support above the lives of our neighbors.

Modified:

You even indicted yourself with this wickedness you displayed here....so much for Mr. English

In your words "Terrorism: The calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate"
If the above is what terrorism is, what exactly is your beloved Bandits doing differently?
Nigerians in the North live in fear, they no longer go to farms, they don't sleep even with a half eye closed, most are displaced because their villages has been razed down etc.
If this wanton destruction is not calculated to intimidate or coerce, what then is it??

I'm still waiting to know what your beloved Bandits stole after they opened fire on innocent people going about their business in Sokoto recently

God bless America!
