I don't know the last time anyone in Nigeria's honourable government resigned over anything.

> According to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), between January and February 2026 alone, 3,913 arrests, 581 convictions, and over 113,000 kilograms of seizures were recorded.

Where did the 14.3M number come from? Someone at NAFDAC just said "imagine 10% of them are taking drugs, let's use that as a statistical sample of the population".

Everyone is answering the quiz like good sheep.

The Nigerian Police Force is under pressure to account for thousands of firearms missing from the police inventory, including AK-47 rifles, local media reports.

The Senate Committee on Public Accounts, in a sitting on Wednesday, raised concerns over the disappearance of 3,907 rifles and pistols from various police formations in the country in 2020.

The committee also revisited the case of 178,459 reported missing firearms, including 88,078 AK-47 rifles from police inventory, first published by the Auditor General of the Federation in 2019.

Police authorities were also asked by senators to explain contract irregularities totalling ₦1.136 billion ($756,128) found also in the auditor general’s report of 2019.

'Disappearing firearms'

“As of December 2018, a total of 178,459 firearms were unaccounted for, including 88,078 AK-47 rifles. Additionally, as of January 2020, at least 3,907 assorted rifles and pistols remained missing,” the report stated.

Assistant Inspector General of Police (Budget), Abdul Suleiman, told lawmakers on Wednesday that the police have addressed the audit queries and pleaded for discretion, arguing that discussions about police firepower should remain private.

"The police will not allow these weapons to go missing at any cost, but this is a security matter best discussed privately," Suleiman stated, but the senators refused his request.

"Thousands of AK-47s are missing at a time when insecurity is at its peak. The police should have been able to trace these arms,” a senator argued on the floor.

The police clarified that some of the missing weapons belonged to officers killed in the line of duty and that their weapons were taken. They maintain that no arms are unaccounted for.

Unsatisfied with the explanations provided, the Committee on Public Accounts summoned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to appear before them again on Monday, January 17.

No confirmation was made here. While the CIA's Glomar response may seem suggestive (if you're trying to arrive there, cannot read, or only read the headline) it cannot be interpreted as confirmation of any relationship, as this is precisely what the Glomar response is designed to prevent.

Nigeria has no business importing petroleum products. If you want to create a refinery, nothing is stopping you. It isn't a monopoly because he was the first to do it successfully.

Chai! She has now imbibed the racist mentality

What's racist about the mentality of accepting a country which works, over a country which steals from its own future? She wants nothing to do with Nigeria and has for all intents and purposes denounced her Nigerian citizenship, yet all the papers call her Nigerian-British.

I wonder if he identifies as Nigerian-American, seeing as he's never visited Nigeria, wasn't born in Nigeria, and has nothing to do with Nigeria.

richiemcgold:
It is illegal, abi?

.. seems people are not aware that government is loosing huge billions every day due to this unnecessary illegality.

It confuses me a little bit. Nigeria stands to make a killing in both exports and domestic sales. I'd guess that it would at scale, be a top ten producer capable of earning in excess of $200 million a year, but the idea won't even be considered. Even though it's somewhat culturally relevant, and consumed at all levels.

Kobojunkie:
What do you mean they fill gaps where government services are limited? In what way? Have you been to Nigeria at all to see for yourself that churches and mosques are merely leeches/vampire systems that serve to devour what the government has not itself been able to devour of the communities they are built in?

Sure, yet every Sunday people still seem to fill up churches.

MaxInDHouse:
I've traveled to many lands and each family of my faith living there are willing to welcome me home as if they've known me before.
That's exactly what true faith supposed to achieve globally!

Great, thank you. How do you see this experience playing out over time? In some countries, churches play the role of government in many ways (where government is either really small, or in cases where the church is the legislative itself), do you find that you meet new people and build relationship outside the church?

Afonja44:
Is it illegal?

Tinubu smokes it
Osinbajo smokes it
Wole Soyinka smokes it
The Kuti family smokes it

I believe it is illegal, yes.

Currently, cannabis (ganja, igbo, etc...) is illegal in Nigeria, yet our country ranks as the third-highest consumer globally with 14% of adults using it regularly according to leafwell. This creates an interesting paradox worth exploring, especially given the economic situation, unemployment, and global approaches to cannabis legalization, as well as reported health benefits.

Cannabis farming currently provides livelihoods for many rural families, creating high prices and profit margins. Incredible tax revenue for the government is legalised. We have a minimum 12-year prison sentence for possession, limited testing or QC, and legitimate concerns about drug-related crime and security where it thrives. There's also reported therapeutic benefits where we have no distinction between medical and recreational use.

Really invested in how this might work, as there's no good reason for it to be illegal today, except for being taboo. Please share your thoughts while keeping the discussion respectful and evidence-based.

According to the founder of Christianity the best place to get real families is within the group he commissioned! Matthew 12:46-50

So to your questions God's organization is the one and only SOCIAL SUPPORT SYSTEM we have that's why you will notice ex-Jehovah's Witnesses complaining bitterly because they can never ever find better FRIENDS outside God's organization where LOVE permeates the whole assembly of worshipers! John 13:34-35

That's why Jesus said to Jehovah's Witnesses:

“You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when located on a mountain. People light a lamp and set it, not under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house. Likewise, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens". Matthew 5:14-16

Though you can't find any other religious group speak well about us {Matthew 5:11-12} because we don't practice interfaith {Matthew 16:6, 12} they always call us Satanists and cult {Matthew 10:24-25} but please ask them to present a better performing group than JWs i'm sure they will turn against you instantly with insults.
WHY?
There is no other group or religion where you can find a real global family like the true Christian group: Jehovah's Witnesses! Isaiah 2:2-4 compare to Zephaniah 3:9

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

I appreciate your skillful ability to quote from your religious texts, but I am hoping to learn from some of your personal experiences. sorry if this wasn't clear

MaxInDHouse:
Real Christians don't pray for community their leader (Christ) has warned them that no matter how bad the situation of things as long as God's Kingdom hasn't come the condition of all human society in general will continue to deteriorate.
So instead of praying we speak to our neighbors about what our Master Lord and King Christ Jesus taught us as the only solution to mankind's problems: The government from God or God's Kingdom.

thanks! how does your church serve as a social support system for you? day-to-day, do you rely on the church as a means of meeting friends?

blackpanthar:
TO UNDERSTAND IT BETTER......... simply start attending every major meeting days for both religions and ask questions there. SIMPLE.

thanks for your reply. not quite the response I'm seeking, but I appreciate the effort!

i'm curious about how churches and mosques function beyond their spiritual roles. specifically, how do these institutions serve as social support systems, conflict resolution centers, or community organizing spaces in your area? i've noticed they often fill gaps where government services are limited, but i'd like to understand the day-to-day reality from those who experience it directly
