CrimeRe: Oyo State Kidnapping - Rumors Of Major Ambush by Sensiblerealist(m): 7:38pm On May 22
I think I misused the word 'certify'.
I meant to say they are still trying to put all components together and test run , before they become operational.



Jakumo:
I am deeply saddened and disappointed that there has been no televised national address by our president at the very least, assuring the nation that all that can be done to bring back those children safely WILL be done, and publicly directing the military to deploy all relevant assets.

To remain dead silent in the wake of this horrific abduction and torture of school children is in my opinion an appalling dereliction of duty on the part of an elected national leader, that one can only hope will be addressed and corrected in the next few days.

Your mention that the drones acquired by the Oyo State government recently did NOT go into service immediately, because they await "certification" is just as disheartening to hear. Such equipment should have been deployed in 24 hours, while whatever paperwork deemed to be needed could have been processed in parallel without the need to ground the aircraft unnecessarily. That needless delay has now cost lives.

The Government should be serious as this stuff is hitting home run. Imagine kidnapping even on Lagos -Ibadan expressway
CrimeRe: Oyo State Kidnapping - Rumors Of Major Ambush by Sensiblerealist(m): 5:10pm On May 22
I think the drones you are referring to are not operational yet. I heard on Arise TV today that the Governor said they will become certified for surveillance in June or so.
Its just that the Government/military that you support unapologetically are brazenly useless. I wonder what is the use of the few satellites we have in space, that is if they are still functional if we can't use them for the advancement of this country.
These terrorists are killing the citizens day in day out and posts on tiktok and telegram,yet they can't be traced.
Shame on all these schools routing courses in counterterrorism, cyber terrorism and the likes.
Lecturers wey be say na only to vomit from books, no practicability

Jakumo:
I am merely expressing my utter bafflement about the length of time it is taking to pinpoint the location of the kidnappers and their victims, bearing in mind the fact that drones capable of spotting people by day or night even if they are hidden under tree cover are readily available in Oyo State. If you take time to read what I have written, you will agree that the intent is NOT "propaganda", but is an urgent call for more effective use of aerial surveillance drones which are ALREADY in the possession of the military AND of the civilian Amotekun corps.

I own multiple hobby-grade drones whose capabilities are nowhere near the specifications of the drones that are already in possession of the government and Amotekun corps, but the knowledge I have gained over the years of operating drones is the reason I know how easily and quickly the kidnappers and their captives SHOULD have been located once the first distress call had been recorded.

Code Templar, I take exception to your opinion that this topic could be construed as "propaganda" when it is actually an expression of growing impatience over the slow pace at which drone surveillance is being utilized. It is a known fact that ARMED drones are already in the Nigerian police inventory, so it is tragic that foot patrols where sent into harm's way without the option of aerial location and attack being deployed as the first and primary response to this unfolding tragedy.

Don't mind these people oooo.
I recall a case from way back while watching a football match. I told people around that Wayne Rooney just tabon(used a wrong grammatical expression. Guys nearly took my head that day, that why will an English native tabon.
We eventually sought out an assistant lecturer in English department who confirmed it.
Bottom line, there are slangs and local misuse of words everywhere that have been incorporated into their diction


CaptainFM1:
Calm down. I schooled in the UK. And on many occasions our tutors would tell us we speak better English than them. They speak horrible slangs and grammar in those countries than us.

Ok oooo, all is well.
It's just me sha and my wife don strike a balance between all those kinda things.
For the life of me , I just couldn't fathom why I should pay 90k for makeup in 2019. I don't know how much she later paid by herself till this day.

PrimadonnaO:
Lol. Pregnancy is special for women.

So they want a quality, pretty memory of it. What I do have a problem with is some women wearing revealing clothes for the photoshoot.

As for paying for makeup sessions-- first, not everyone knows how to get a proper makeup done on themselves. The wrong kind of make-up can literally distort one's appearance. So, they've got no choice but to pay a professional.

Some others can get a decent makeup done... but I mean... they just want to look like celebs.

People prioritise different things. Let's leave women, jare. We love beauty & glam.

That makeup own, I refused to pay for it during my wedding planning then cuz the thing dey irritate for the kind amount.
I really don't get it.
Same as everything photoshoot

wehdone:
Congratulations to them


...but I'll never understand these publicity of pregnancy bumps. Same way I can't understand why someone will spend 200k for makeup, just to clean up everything at night when you get back home. Like wtf!!! What the actual f>ck!!!

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Aston Villa Vs Frieburg: Europa League Finals (3 - 0) On 20th May 2026 by Sensiblerealist(m): 11:48pm On May 20
Don't go far, Tottenham too enjoyed something like that this season

Angelfrost:
EPL can only have 6 spots if the guaranteed 5th position is occupied by the Europa winner after the last game.

As it stands, Villa is finishing 4th... Which means Liverpool finishes 5th, thereby leaving no spillover space for 6th.

The key word here is "Spillover" space... That means 5th guaranteed position extends to 6th if and only if the final 5th position is occupied by the Europa Champions.

If you remember, there was a time UCL had just 4 slots for EPL... One time, a team that finished 4th but also won the Europa title, which led to the 5th placed team to get into UCL. I think it was Chelsea that did the honors.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Aston Villa Vs Frieburg: Europa League Finals (3 - 0) On 20th May 2026 by Sensiblerealist(m): 11:47pm On May 20
The games get as dem be jare. Aston Villa has absolutely nothing to play for, na celebration mood dem dey as per 1st European trophy in 48 years.
Man City are flat out deflated.
Liverpool's season has petered out and Brentford are trying to go to Europe.
Wildest guess is match fixing things. Anything is possible in this life 😂 😆 😂 😆. If Bournemouth Chairman calculate how much dem go make inn appearance and sponsorship invest half of that to sort Aston Villa and referee for Liverpool game.
Make people noor com fory head oooo, na joke i dey


Angelfrost:
Which is looking unlikely... Villa is inspired, while City is completely deflated.

Liverpool beating Brentford is a scenario I simply can't see happening.

Both games might end in draws.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Aston Villa Vs Frieburg: Europa League Finals (3 - 0) On 20th May 2026 by Sensiblerealist(m): 11:22pm On May 20
You are wrong.
This scenario will only happen if Aston Villa loses to Man City and Liverpool wins against Brentford in their respective games


dominique:
Big congratulations to Unai Emery and Aston Villa. This win has given 6th placed Bournemouth the UCL ticket. Imagine never qualifying for European football for your entire 100+ years history and when you eventually did, it's the freaking champions league! Shey iraola will not go and lobby for his job back at Bournemouth like this? He worked hard for this? He brought them this far, he should be the one to take them to Europe.
PoliticsRe: James Ibori, Okowa And Wike (Throwback Photo) by Sensiblerealist(m): 11:20pm On May 20
The trio are career politicians. One is a Doctor that has probably never practiced for more than 10 years.
One is a lawyer who I've never heard of his chambers but has been in Government since 1999 or earlier.
The other one is a convicted looter who is a close pal of the Commander-in-Chief.
And these new political cycle for 2027 is way worse than it has ever been.
All the gladiators have successfully brought their children, wives, siblings and in-laws into prospective government positions.
It cannot get better this way. Just impossible

Why are you arguing with the guy sef. This Nairaland mods dey mess up at times sef. Na one mod push this misinformation to FP
See as the guy dey yarn okpata with inn full chest.
There are different species or rats. The one we Yoruba call okete is pouch/Gambian rat. It is different from the ones found in gutters with it's distinctly elongated tail with a white tip. It can be found in domestic dwellings ,gutters etc cuz of urbanisation. That's does not make it less edible for this that can eat it.
If I kill one in the bush, I can eat it but not one found in a gutter or soakaway/sewage pit and the likes just cuz it's gross though they are the same species.

The Chinese, Vietnamese, Tibetans etc that eat the domestic rat species nko, shey dem die


brain54:
Is the animal only found inside the gutter...?


Is that it's residence? The person that killed the bush meat your thread is all about did he tell you he hunted it inside gutter?
HealthRe: Infant's Tragic Death Exposes Systemic Rot At UATH, Gwagawalada by Sensiblerealist(m): 2:19pm On May 20
We are not serious as a nation.
Some of these crimes should be treated as terrorism and crimes against humanity.
In 2009 , my family friend, a pharmacy student and his group were given an assignment/project to authenticate the active components of different samples of paracetamol.
Can you imagine that of all the 12 samples given, only two passed the requirements to be deemed original. For one sample, you will need to use 12 tablets or so for the common two tablets dosage. You can't even use that cuz of other components in the drugs

DomPerignon:
As per this case, we can see that the child suffered from cerebral malaria which usually occurs due to badly treated malaria .

The parents even attested that the child had convulsions after being administered off the counter malaria drugs at home .

We should not ignore the high rates of fake drugs in circulation.

A friend of mine spent huge amounts of money treating his toddler in a foreign owned hospital in Lagos for this same cerebral malaria.

Malaria drugs are a miracle drug that have saved millions and treatment for malaria is free in Federal and some state hospitals .

The root cause here is the proliferation of fake drugs .

A medical doctor told me that as much as 80% of the malaria drugs being freely sold in chemists and pharmacies are fake.

The case of antibiotics is even worse and I am even surprised we are not developing super antibiotic strains of infections in Nigeria

As much as the entire healthcare system needs to be overhauled and a universal health insurance policy enacted, as long as there are merchants of death out there, it will be an effort in futility.


Let me not talk about spike in renal disease attributed to consumption of fake drugs and beverages

SportsRe: South Africa Probes Bad Treatment Of Athletes At Ghana Championships - PICTURES by Sensiblerealist(m): 1:44pm On May 20
They used to be very nice people until around year 2009. The hostility became noticeably profound.
I used to organise road trip excursions for university students back then.
When they stared showing other colours , I stopped altogether. They got unaccommodating, greedy and they cheat also at tourist markets.

LabStores:
Apart from particular beef with SA, Ghana's hospitality is generally POOR. I have had few bad experiences. This people don't even give water for free, no matter how much they charge you for a hotel room.
Food is generally boring and their services and attitudes is generally nonchalant and sluggish.

Negroid001:
Just be careful.
When i was 15 a friends dad fell down into mud in my street. I backed him home. 2 days later he slept and didn't wake up. He was well into his 80s

Corona period. A fellow landlord's wife slipped and fell in my street. I picked her up and assisted her home. That weekend she slept and didn't wake up too. She's in her 80s too.

Not saying anything would happen to your mum. But get proper treatment first. Adults falling down often the first sign something bad is about to happen.
