A drone would have done 80% of these jobs. All should have done was train technicians and engineers on how to build drones. We could have saved a lot of money there.
It's not good to comment on things you dont understand.

Not even the worlds most advanced militaries rely solely on drones.

And there are several drones included in the order. Shut up and face your books!

Something that should be celebrated. Sadly you'll see the front page filled with negative comments.

Why?

And surprisingly, if you check you'll see that those making bad coments have a history of supporting Peter Obi.

So i'm wondering why is it that Obi supporters here do not want to see any good news about Nigeria??

Chidinma's lawyer is really trying but this angle of duress can't work.

The onus is on them now, to prove that duress was really applied. How will the do that?

Plus once a suspect starts to change their mouth, that leads to the Court atachign less weight to their denial.

It was further learnt that the intelligence agencies had been on the trail of the insurgents before the US and the British High Commission issued security alerts last Sunday, warning their citizens about impending terrorist attacks

I don't agree with this bolded statement.
This is how they would be lying to citizen here and there. If not the US,we could have just been fooled thinking we are secured in this country.
Nigeria and the US are defense partners. It is not posssible that they had information and did mot first share it with us. These are things that go om all the time and happen behind the scenes without the knowledge of the general public. You really don't need to be informed of securoty operations of this nature.

If you are ever a serious and patriotic person in your life, you should have even seen the video before now. I for example, take my time to listen to almost all the media sections of the leading candidates, why? Because I don't want to help chose a disaster for the country.
If you are just always reacting like this without taking time to confirm the truth, then you don't deserve a phone and I so pity anybody that sees you as a partner...u will definitely mess up that persons life
You make me laugh.

I haven't gotten round to watching the video because i'm busy and will watch it eventually. So what would that prove in your tiny little, unimaginative brain?

Mischief maker. Peter Obi actually answered the question perfectly some seconds after the prison remarks. The response he first gave was for a previous question that Rufai asked together with the consumption own. He answered everything in order
This OP has only mischievously cut the clip so it doesnt cover those prior questions and the answers.
It shall never be well with u as u do not want it to be well with the nation
Oh shut up you buffoon.

Duh! What's the point of this excerpt from the video? Is TonyeBarcanista normal at all? undecided
It is to sow you that Peter Obi really doesn't much substance. He was asked a simply question about his main campaign point and swiftly diverted to talking about prisoners.

Obi says he will take us from consumption to production, a feat we have not been able to achieve for 60 years. So don't you think it's important that we hear how he plans to do it?

Is it too much for president or not enough?

Because most European countries have similar if not more.

I want you to make me understand

For your information, USA Presidential motorcade is around 40-50 cars.
The UK PM has just 3 - 5 cars in his convoy and as for the US, obviously, their leader is a huge target for threats both domestic and foreign. Who has time for the Ghana president?

JOemmy:
Self defense is never a criminal offense anywhere in the world those students u are referring to as weak are actually not they are mentally more stronger than the thugs and can easily defeat them if they really want to.
Anyone acting on this advice will find themselves unable to claim self-defense in any court of law.

1. Guns are illegal at the moment
2. When you take steps to ready yourself for violence when you had ample time and opportunity to engage the law enforcement authorities, you cannot then claim self-defence in Court.

I also never said the Obidients are weak but it's simple logic. One who has become accustomed to violence and has nothing to lose, cannot be compared to those who are still looking forward to a bright future and are not experienced in violence.

You may want to comfort yourself by arguing otherwise but the reality is stark.

People living in Abuja should be extremely careful. This time no be only advice America give her citizens, them also evacuate their citizens join.
It's not about Abuja. The evacuation is of non-essential embassy staff and their families all over Nigeria.

It may even interest you to know that while Abuja is still on danger level 3, which is reconsider travel, many parts of the south (almost the entire south east ad south south) are on level 4, which is do not travel at all. So this is being taken out of context.

That’s how they informed their citizens to leave Ukraine & Russia before the war commenced.
The threat level is still at level 3. They're evacuating non-essential embassy staff but they're not asking all Americans to leave.

Level 3 is the level for the entire Nigeria, including areas like Lagos and Abuja.

This guy is doomed. I can promise you that.

But a murder case takes time. The Court will have a lot of evidence to consider - but note this, the suspect is in prison so it is not as though he is off enjoying his life. And when his inevitable judgment comes, he will merely continue.

He is going nowhere.

Urheadmaster:
Tinubu is in the same shoes with Atiku tongue undecided
From all indications, Tinubu is solidly in the lead for now. Peter Obi can still come up but from what I'm seeing now, Tinubu is walking the ball into an empty net.

The Wike group have shown enough signs that they will eventually align with Tinubu. Wike standing behind Sanwo Olu and receiving an award from Buhari is enough to tell you that there is an understanding.

Plus the power of incumbency, by which the northern strongmen such as el Rufai know that their only chance of getting into power eventually is to ensure that the APC stays in power, will ensure that the APC will work for Tinubu even in the north.

Tinubu is well ahead by my reckoning.

In what way does this particular incident show that the US has more intelligence on Nigerian matters?

This is not a new warning. It's a routine update, amd the DSS has made such warnings in the recent past.

The current status is reconsider travel, which is the normal status for most of Nigeria. When there is a stronger concern, the threat level will be raosed to Imminent and the advisory will be DO NOT TRAVEL.

This is just blogs finding news.

Cantonese:
My friend, Wike has just one head like you and everyone. Young people should not watch older people bamboozle them. He will go into political oblivion, if he is not more circumspect.

I admire him a lot, but the truth about him must be laid bare before him by those who love him.

Out of power, he becomes like fish out of water. He'll struggle to navigate his way out of power. His friends will go and he'll be left with those who want to "chop his money".

Ayo Fayose is out of power. What happening to him today? He's struggling for relevance in his state and nationally. If PDP wins without him, he'll be in deeper trouble.

In a few months, Wike with all his wealth will leave power. Others like him remain relevant in the Federal house. He plays his politics in Rivers State largely and with so many enemies, cannot win the Presidential ticket of any of the big parties.
If Wike wants he'll stroll into the senate. It is still an elective position.

In any case, who says that life ends once one is out of politics?? The onus is on him to do his best with the time he has now, not succumbing to manipulation in order to curry favor from self appointed demigods.

Yes, no mass killings, but people actually died. The investigative reports of the endsars Committee confirmed it. Sanwoolu also compensated a few victims as recommended.
Then the military must be exonnerated, and by extension general Enenche should be reinstated on the campaign team.

Tge military could not have fired high calibre rifles point blank at a mass of protesters and you want to argue that people did not die en masse.

Those that were killed were killed by police and hoodlums.

Pick up that book and read, it chronicles the laws governing the apprenticeship system under customary legal instruments.

You are currently bereft of information on the topic, so you cannot ascribe to yourself the position of an expert on customary laws and culture. You can't be competent enough to push for amendment of a law without knowing the basics of such laws.
Read this slowly if it helps:

It doesnt matter what your customary law says. The validity of any rule of customary law is subject to certain tests. These include a question of whether it is incompatible with existing statutory provisions, and whether it can be held to be repugnant.

Since Nigerian Labour law now provides for apprenticeship, there is no space for customary apprenticeship.

Thia is not a question of reading up on customary texts. You must understand the limited place these rules have in the broader legal system.

Now, i thought this was a good teaching opportunity and answered you though i had promised not to. Take that as an act of kindness and not as an invitation to conversation.
