In my own opinion there wouldn't have been coups, parasitic characteristics, religious fighting, and even maybe corruption.

Nairalanders let me hear your views

yaraduul take this

Instead, the Government should pay NYSC such salary, people capable of re-building the nation rather than glorified criminals

This is the most crazy news I have seen or heard in recent times

Dare-devil armed robbers, yesterday afternoon, held Awka, the Anambra State capital hostage for over one hour in their bid to rob a second generation bank on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Avenue in the heart of the city.
The five suspected robbers who arrived the Eke-Awka round about at exactly 2.45pm in an open black Toyota Jeep and a Nissan bus painted in Anambra State Government's acquired ANIDS yellow colours stationed at the round about mobilised themselves on both ends of the street and started shooting sporadically into the air.
There was chaos as the heavily armed masked members of the gang shot indiscriminately , forcing vehicular and human traffic to a standstill as drivers and motor-cyclists abandoned their vehicles, in the centre of the road, and market women their wares as they scampered to safety.
The incident was as bizarre as it was entertaining. Awka residents, especially the youths, who had initially ran away later trooped back, waving green leaves in a bizarre support of the robbers' shooting spree. They hailed them and cursed the police for shying away from confronting them. The live show continued unabated and for the period they operated, they were neither molested nor challenged.
They later drove down to the frontage of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Exchange building on the Avenue where they again shot sporadically.
At the end of it all, the robbers shot sporadically again for over five minutes, danced to entertain the crowd and sped off in their vehicles.

In an apparent show of appreciation for the solidarity given to them by the residents, the robbers threw wads of money to them as they negotiated their exit, taking the Agu-Awka end of the Zikís Avenue to the ever busy Onitsha-Enugu expressway enroute to Enugu . The state Police Public Relations Officer, Emeka Chukwuemeka, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, switched off his call phone the moment a call was put through to him.

I would have supported Mr.abati becos he his in the same field as my dad and are both respected journalists, I think He (Abati) should continue writing about his folks in Aso rock and leave we young folks alone. Banky I'am not a really big fan but 2 thumbs up for the reply. Its time we young folks stand up and challenge these old folks that always think they are always right.
