obembet:With regards to this discussion... beautiful responses have been shared my many... both here and on the streets... But a better issue to consider is the mirrored version of this question topic... that is... "As a Citizen of Nigeria, what are the 3 collective things to do to achieve the emergence of a good President?.." Considering the fact that we have chosen national election as the means of bringing forth our country President... which I would also compare to screening candidates to fill in job vacancies... then here are what I think we need to do:.. 1. Don't be a "blind" follower of personalities... whether popular or not... rather ask defining questions prior to the election... because the chosen leader will determine the country outlook... 2. Don't be indifferent... constructively share your choice of candidates policies with those who are naive... so that they also will not remain "blind" followers of those who have nothing to offer... rather would see reasons how their future would be impacted by their choice... 3. Defend your choice... do the needful to be registered early and encourage others to do so... perform the civic duty of voting and wait to hear the results of your polling unit... network with others of like minds to collate declared polling units results and document them... share collated results to the public... with the public aware of the true facts... the people's decision will prevail... |
PMG2024:Good move!.. Preferred Name:.. RENAISSANCE Age State of Origin:.. Imo Educational Qualification:.. B.Sc Political office you intend to contest for:.. President Your current occupation or background:.. Entrepreneur Previous or ongoing contributions to society:.. Both public and private sectors Why you want to run for office:.. To restore and raise Nigeria to best glories Political affiliation: To be disclosed later Your areas of interest... All segments of Nigeria |
nairalanda1:An intelligent write up... but we do not need such amount to revamp out healthcare... Healthcare is like ICT... it has its branches... and most have been productively harnessed in Nigeria by Entrepreneurs... I would rather share with you the sole reason why Nigerian leaders seek foreign medical tourism... I learnt this from an Egyptian colleague... He asked me what I thought was the reason of Nigerian leaders choice of foreign hospitals... I shared some observations... but he said what surprised me... Nigerian leaders travel abroad for treatment because they always want to appear to the public and their oppositions as always healthy... so they sneak abroad to get some health check-up... then on arrival... their media team snap them at the moment their pose strongest ... To sum up the matter... he also said that these government officials are usually managed by Nigerian doctors who are based abroad... |
Love800:Vigilante groups are registered private security organizations that have a limited territory... They are equipped with guns... and are under the supervision of government security forces... They can arrest but not detain suspects... rather hands over suspect to government security forces... While State Police is a full prototype of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) within the state... They duties will clash with the NPF... and could be used as subtle militia by any State Governor with sinister motives... For justice to prevail in the country... and one constitution adhered to... State Police won't achieve this... |
Kemetian:Visionary Entrepreneurs have helped shaped the progressive growth of Nigerian healthcare industry... This investors need to be encouraged by the government... so that they don't just survive the trying times locally... rather do exploit globally... |
baconline:Although you have a point... but this will infringe on individual rights to life and healthcare... Rather... a Executive Order to halt the Nigerian government from sponsoring financial bills incurred by government officials who embark on foreign medical vacations... I can boldly share with you that over the past 15 years... but unknown by many... Nigerian healthcare institutions have greatly improved to meet international standards... I say so because I have been involved... Presently we have in Nigeria... state of art diagnostic centres... fertility centres... transplant centres... orthopedic centres... pharmaceutical manufacturers... All these I mean in terms of facility, equipment, and personnel... Few procedures yet to begin in Nigeria... are lung and brain transplants... But what we presently need is to revive the Nigerian economy... so that our citizens can easily pay for quality healthcare services... |
ogododo:These figures are unnecessarily excessive... I have frequently visited a State Government House clinic... there is nothing special that should arise such a bill... there already have in-house... functional laboratory, imaging equipment and state of art theatre.... Basically what a Government House clinic spends monthly are on drugs and consumables... while salaries are catered by the health ministry... Presently these recurrent bill shouldn't exceed N10million on a monthly basis.... Integrity and accountability is what Nigeria needs to revive... |
iwaeda:This is disheartening... But due to the lack of political will by previous and present Nigerian government to expose sponsors of these terrorism... I therefore, advise residents and indigenes of communities in Nigeria ...that are prone to these terrorists... to sponsor vigilante groups... among whose aims is to dislodge criminals from isolated locations which are been used as hideouts... Also... rather than the contemplated state police... which I don't agree with.... I advise respective State governments to associate and support these vigilante groups... so as to ensure safety and peace within our communities... This should be the temporal remedy... pending when we have a government with godly political will... |
MCentral:Commendable!.. I hope to hear the likes of BUA... and other merchants still investing and completing mega projects in Nigeria... Once again... Kudos to Dangote!.. |
Bobloco:I do not agree with the VP that a sitting President does not have rights to sack elected personalities... Rather... when the doctrine of necessity comes to play.... and the decision to ensure tranquility in the nation... whether for the reasons of preserving lives, or maintaining the attitude of citizens' integrity, or any other cogent reasons... but not for any selfish or sinister ambition... then the President reserves the right to sack any elected or appointed persons... The misinterpretation of the nations constitution by any adviser... does not remove the fact that the citizens have entrusted the sanctity of veto powers upon the sitting President... |
NSNO:Good decision!.. Nigeria should never accept to be a dumping ground for any other nation... Just as President Trump will say " a no deal is better than a bad deal"... |
NSNO:Good decision!.. Nigeria should never accept to be dumping ground... Just as President Trump will say " a no deal is better than a bad deal"... |
AnonPoet:Impressive!.. At this level of impact... more inputs and with better vision... will advance the Nigerian Navy .. Kudos once again to the Nigerian Military!... |
iwaeda:We pray to live in a new Nigeria where every HUMAN life is sacred... |
dominicdavid:Although this is not the storyline "the young shall grow" expect to hear... but it is becoming the true reality here in Nigeria... My take on this is "Dream Again"... this will be my slogan while contesting for Nigeria Presidency... Let's not be moved by political names... while deciding what becomes of our present and future destiny... if they had had over 20 years in power and could not help relieve the burden of the masses... they can't make a difference even if they were given extra one tenure... Let's use this platform to constructively dissect candidates... and discern if they actually understand the issues... and have solutions to our present malady... I know that I have the character... the charisma...and the solutions for good leadership of Nigeria... |
fergie001:Sowore... over the years... has been a good human rights activist in Nigeria... With regards to this case... I do support the immediate release of the staff... under unlawful detention by the Police... Oppression is evil and should never be accepted... |
[quote author=alphonsoolajide post=135947406]A heartbreaking video has emerged online showing a female commercial bus driver in Lagos State tearfully recounting how she was allegedly physically assaulted by agberos (motor park touts) at the Mowe-Ibafo bus stop, after she refused to pay them illegal levies. Eyes Of Lagos reports, The video, shared by social media user @omoelerinjare on X (formerly Twitter), has sparked widespread outrage, especially as the woman—a mother of two—revealed that her only means of survival has now been compromised. 🚐 Assaulted for Saying “I’ll Pay Later” In the video, the distressed woman, who relies on driving her bus for income, explained that she had been out of work for over two months due to engine and gear issues with her vehicle. “I told them I will give them money when I return from my trip. But they beat me, flattened my tyre, and damaged my car. I haven’t worked in two months because of car issues. I’m a mother of two. This is my only hustle,” she sobbed. The attack allegedly took place when the agberos demanded money upfront, and despite her promise to pay later, they assaulted her, deflated her tyres, and removed parts of her vehicle in full public view. 😡 Nigerians React: “This Is Wickedness” Outrage poured in from across the country, as netizens condemned the violent extortion of hardworking citizens by so-called transport union officials. Here are some of the top reactions: @shegs2348: “Report their branch chairman, the people responsible must pay.” @Ifeboy6: “This is one of Tinubu’s greatest criminal legacies. What a country—thugs in corridors of power.” @kinxykel: “A woman hustling legally and men are extorting her? This is wickedness.” @SYVOZEEK149: “In Cross River, women taxi drivers don’t even pay for tickets, let alone get harassed. Lagos is lawless.” 🔎 The Bigger Picture: Who Protects Nigerian Drivers? This incident throws a spotlight on the long-standing issue of agbero (touts) extortion in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria. Despite being technically illegal, these touts often act with impunity under the guise of union enforcement, demanding unauthorized fees from bus drivers—many of whom are barely surviving. The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and other affiliated groups have long been criticized for operating like criminal gangs, especially in Lagos and Ogun States, where drivers are often forced to pay multiple levies daily. 👩🔧 Women in Transport Face More Danger Women in Nigeria’s commercial transport sector face even greater challenges—from harassment and extortion to physical abuse—often with no formal recourse or support systems. The silence and inaction of law enforcement in cases like this have left many female drivers defenseless and invisible. ✊ Call to Action Demand Investigation: The Lagos State Government and transport unions must act to identify and penalize the perpetrators. Protect Female Drivers: Implement policies that protect women in public transport and hold offenders accountable. Reform NURTW & Unions: Establish strict oversight and end illegal fee collection. 📌 Final Thought This story is not just about one woman—it’s about every struggling Nigerian trying to make an honest living in a country where survival is a daily battle. If we don’t raise our voices now, more women will suffer in silence. https://eyesoflagos.com/2025/07/01/lagos-female-bus-driver-beaten-by-agberos-over-n100/ wonder why hooligans parade themselves around extorting money from diligent workers... It is either one is harassed by touts... or molested by security personnel who use check points to extort money from road users.... so many persons have been victims of these corrupt acts... All these evil vices must stop... either willingly or by force .. No corporate union supercede the Sovereignty of Nigeria... if NURTW or RTEAN can't cater for their members and find more polite way to obtain their contributions... then they need to be disbanded... Anyone who wish to associate themselves to any corporate union should do so on the basis of free will and not compulsory... |
Truths9ja:A painful but true rhetorical question asked silently and in the heart of many youths of our present Nigeria... A friend shared with me that the children from his community asked why they were forced to go to school... because those who didn't take academics seriously... rather were radical and blew up pipelines... were the ones been catered by the government and having soldiers as escort... meanwhile the "bookworms" were walking around still sharing their "I beg to apply"" CV... We pray that ALMIGHTY GOD answer our prayers... and give us good leadership... Although I am up for the race of becoming Nigeria next President... I believe this is my good quota to contribute to our Nigeria revival... |
dalitigator:One thing I like about Pres.Tinubu... he seems to have broad listening attitude both from friends and foes ... but he prefers utilizing crude methods to solve issues... As you rightly asked us to criticize the government... but not out of hatred... rather to reveal good solutions... here are my observations .. Carefully studying Pres. Tinubu... you would discover he is very clever... but actually not very wise.... This is not an insult... but here's what I meant... if everyone would be satisfied in their destiny call and not mingle into others destiny.... Pres Tinubu is a far better choice as a Party Chairman than a National President.... to prove this.... when you carefully study the present state of most political parties in Nigeria.... and even some of the upcoming options... you would find his well calculated presence in them.... which means he controls them by proxy... Actually based on performances... since we resumed democracy... the best Nigerian President has been H.E. Obasanjo... followed by H.E. Jonathan.... In summary... so far what had limited Pres Tinubu is his focus to outsmart other politicians ... rather than ensuring solutions are offered and implemented... this we usually call..."lack of political will"... |
PaNnamdi:Although you have stated some real time facts... but Nigeria can achieve constant electricity for our total territory... What it takes is good planning... that's forecasting what the energy need will be for each segment of the country... then determine whether such electricity need will be provided by the government or private institutions.... So no matter the large figure of needed electricity megawatts... it is both achievable and sustainable... |
Although this is a good action... but the root of the problem is this... why should the court or NIMC give provisions for people to alter their ages .. Anyone who deliberately alter his or her age details is also capable of administrative falsehood... The right and standard practice in times like this is... the use of birth certificate for nationals.... and international passport for foreigners... I think it is right for the Health and Interior ministers to harmonize database through individual entries by a national birth certificate or international passport... |
This is a complete farce... We don't need new created states in Nigeria... |
The past few weeks have witnessed some terror attacks on some communities... and security personnel... Here are what I could summarize... after some extensive reviews on these attacks... 1. Attackers were sponsored... most likely someone in or outside the government is behind these planned attacks... 2. Sponsor(s) is/ are within Nigeria.... present attacks showed the last commands came from within... 3. Attack militia are trained... if those who attacked at Abia were dropped off from helicopter... it means if dropped from mid-air they were paratroopers and possibly mercenaries... if dropped on land then they are regular fighters... 4. Major land mass attacks had a close boundary pattern... Plateau... Benue... Niger... Enugu... Abia... 5. Also painful to say but very truthful... Indigenes of Plateau and Benue have similar lifestyle of "Zidonians"... they haven't yet seen the need to take they security seriously to preserve their lives and posterity... |
Good decision... NDLEA has no justification of retaining any proceed from confiscated items... Rather they should focus on their core duty... |
Bobrisky and people who do same foolishness in Nigeria... should be reprimanded in isolated camps... and monitored by psychiatric experts... You are either a Male or a Female... Ideologies like this should not be given breeding space... because like a ravaging virus... it can badly infest good morals... especially among the youths and gullible ones... |
fergie001:With respect to this considered bills... here ate my opinions:.. 1. Irrespective of the present decadence... I don't support creation of state police... because for good justice to be served... it is best that we apply same law for the nation... also proper and equal welfare can't be provided to personnel in a divided structure... 2. There is no need to recall retired judges into the judiciary council... rather scrap the supreme court... and the promoted justices should be the ones in the judiciary council... with the duties of monitoring practicing legal personnel... and probing judgements in cases of discrepancies... 3. To save cost... INEC should be the sole electioneering body for federal... states... and local governments election... |
zero8zero:I am impressed by the quality of legislative bills presently proposed by the current House of Representatives... Thumbs up... But I would like to add here... I am of the opinion that The Court of Appeal in the various states... should be the final court for hearing and tendering justice to matters within the country... while the Supreme Court of Nigeria should be scrapped because of their injustice and corruption... while they use unnecessary grammars to cover up bribes-for-judgment... The Supreme Court of Nigeria should rather be converted to or infused into the judiciary council... and appointed justices promoted into this office... should focus on maintaining order among the legal professionals... by probing practicing personnel conduct and legal courts judgments on disputes... I believe with this solution... the honourable justices may remember the ethics of their white wig... and ensure Righteous Justice is maintained... |
Thumbs up to Trump!.. Any Christian Preacher that rekindles the quenching fire of homosexuality... is free to walk alone into hell... No apologies... when it is evil... we call it evil... and crush it with all available might... Good leadership is good... |
hisexcellency34:Thumbs up to the Nigerian Military for maintaining order and discipline among her formations... I advise the Nigerian Police to follow same... because some Police personnel look weird with tattoos, "heavily" smoking in public, plaiting of men's hair, and other indecent outlooks... It is good when we see right decisions taken because of right leadership... Once again, Kudos to the leadership of the Nigerian Military... GOD bless you |
Taxes in Nigeria should not exceed five percent (5%)... any increments beyond this would have negative rippled effect on citizens' cost of living... The core issue is not the tax rate... rather the fact that revenues realized through taxes are remitted as little fraction from the actual amount... For instance... the tax collectors who harass motorists and market traders... rarely remit the amount generated... rather the monies are shared among themselves... and I think less than 5% is remitted to government purse... This is the main issue to resolve... |
unbiasedTruth:In this our dispensation... a sincere person would accept that to create a balanced society... Education, Exposure, and Experience are core values needed by the populace... Politely I will say that your opinion seems selfish... it is similar to the opinion of over population... that gave rise to the wicked legalizing of neonate murder... that's infant abortions... Times changes with it's peculiar challenges... all that is needed... is right leadership with diligent followers... |
