FILEBE:
Something is wrong with Nigeria. Definitely.

Nobody can tell me otherwise

You may be disappointed to know that nothing is wrong with Nigeria but there is so much that is wrong with Nigerians.

Most Nigerians complain about the wrong things going on in Nigeria but it is the same Nigerians that go about commiting sundry crimes.

Eriokanmi:
They can form their own political party. There are formidable youths in Nigeria heading great positions in their various careers. We know them. If only they can do this, I'd support them both morally and financially. They should take a bold step and float that party as we've heard some people say. Politics is a game of number and they have it.

I totally concur with you on the way forward. Hopefully, the youths will learn to organize themselves and contest for elective offices.

Eriokanmi:
What we see today is a simple result of a failed government and leadership since 1960. We've had successive leaders who had every opportunity to make things right but failed. We claim to love a country called Nigeria but deep down our throats, we're greedy and selfish.

Nigeria is richer than Ukraine but the difference is leadership. Things work seamlessly over there. They even jailed their leader for indulging in corruption. Ukraine is simply developing their country with Nigerian money. The day my cousin's medical course fees were paid, I shook my head. It was so much but I can't blame the guy. The same leaders delegated by the NA for the evacuation are part of those who destroyed Nigeria. I wish there could be a revolution now sef. Most of them enjoyed free education, government scholarships, etc. But what happens today? Their children are schooling overseas on taxpayers money, while the Children of the tax payers are at home. I hope our youths would do the needful by sending them packing next year else, nothing would change.

I agree in principle with all that you said but I need you to clarify the part of your post in bold fonts.

When you "advise the youths to do the needful by sending them packing": who are those to be sent packing and who do you implore the youths to replace them with?.

can python communicate well with html as php does?

Python communicates very well with html. You can embed python in Html templates just the same way you can embed php in Html.

I guess, people are just limited by their insufficient knowledge.

linearity:
Google map provides more than coordinates and you clearly did not read the piece.

If you read and understand the piece or the features of Google map, you will noticed that coordinates were not disabled because ‘turn by turn’ directions still works.

Google map just like most modern driving App e.g. Waze also provides real time data based on AI feedback to enable drivers route around real time congestions ahead.

Therefore Ukraine Soldiers and people fleeing provide data points that feeds the Google map AI bot, which then mark those positions as high traffic spots in real time….if the Russias are using this Google map feature, they will know where the concentration of Ukraine Soldiers are, the route people are fleeing through, etc this is the feature that was disabled. @ Investigative

Your explanation was what I understood from the piece but I guess a lot of people just ran with the headline.

One needs to confirm though if other GPS based maps like Waze have disabled this feature like Google did. If not, it is could just be an exercise in futility.

Redcrafton:
...yeah, that's why they want to leave and your security force are being targeted.

When will you ever want to leave with all you bring to the table?

What do you export to other regions..?

Mention one thing...

In you village you will see Hausas, Fulanis, Igbos doing one thing or the other...bring stuffs to your table...What do you do in other regions..?

Nothing....lazy man...

What is it you bring to the table?

This argument is flawed. "What do they bring to the table?" They bring cash for purchases of good and services to the table. Every part of the country is important. If not for the stupid leaders from all parts of the country that benefit from this defective arrangement as Nigeria is presently constituted, restructuring would have been the best.

Me I dey learn too!! This na Django

Good that you are learning. The piece of code on the baby's cloth is python though.

You would do well to understand the different parts of the code on baby's cloth in the image. It may help you in understanding some pythonic syntax

dfrost:
At what expense? That's too much of à slander on his name to avoid extradition.

Apt! Who would want to be tagged a rogue police turned drug-pusher to avoid extradition. The stakes are too high and it is a lose-lose situation for Abba Kyari. Either way, he is tainted.

princejenks:
Osinbajo will just be another jona without balls if allowed to be president. To those defending him based on his limitations,how come he was more assertive in his first term but suddenly went MIA in the last 3 years except appearing at this kind of functions and trying to make light of very serious situations facing the country when he could have used such to make bold statements that can change the tide of things? I don't even see how he would have the balls to declare his intentions with an asiwaju in the race

For clarity, would you mind to mention the specifics of how Osinbajo was more assertive in the first term. Thanks.

na2016:
Do you really know what is Dementia? If you do, you wouldn't wish that on even your enemy. The man wants to contest, it is his right. It is left for youths like you and I to get into our polling units and ensure the man fails.

Very simple and straight forward choice. We can and should vote candidates that we do not consider fit for office.

I wonder why the youths are resorting to name calling. Curiously, after the name-calling and abuses, if the people refuse to vote or vote wisely, these same candidates being abused would get themselves into office somehow!

989900:
Everything.

My brother, it is well. Those guys bleeped up big time. They disappointed a lot of people.

989900:
I weak! Ironically, the masses can't/don't see the bigger picture!

989900, if my memory serves me right, you were a supporter of this Buhari regime. However, it appears from this your post that you have lost trust in this current administration. What was that thing that made you stopped supporting them?

ayindejimmy:
What are they doing that's illegal?

Is being a traditionalist a criminal offence?

So they should censored out all traditional content

Being a traditionalist does not confer any right on anyone to promote money rituals through the use of human beings and I want to believe that you are not suggesting such.

The promotion of such can and should be discouraged. Even some traditionalists will support the censorship of those things that portray in bad light.

ayindejimmy:
You can't do anything with these in court.
They didn't advertise human ritual of selling of body parts.

When you get to court the issue will be about verifiable facts and they'll claim they only advertised traditional medicines.

The best way to catch those that are ritualist is to go undercover.

He is not talking about going to court about the issue. He is talking about regulating the social media platforms with regards to such content.

Kingpin1000:
Oga so because she was murdered we shouldn't move on?
All what they are doing is to look politically correct, we can all see through their deceit. When herds men were killing people at as his backyard, what did He say about that?
When Bokoharam and bandits were ransacking and still killing in the north, what was his comment.
Today a toddler was murdered and the culprit has been apprehended, they want to claim compassionate.
If you say I am heartless, I will agree with you. I have seen so many people die for no just reason and have typed rest in peace until I have become cold.
It is time to be proactive not being emotional. Come 2023 we should vote in a man that has the heart of Nigeria and Nigerians, not some greedy man who want to add the presidential office as another feather to his cap.

Please refer to the part of your post in boldface. Can you kindly point us in the right direction of a candidate that can help to solve the Nigerian problems as President.

And I think you are too fixated on the 'greedy man' as your post suggests. Let me add that there is nothing wrong in people aspiring to offices in fulfillment of their dreams and aspirations, we should not abuse them but we can show our disapproval by not voting for such people.

Our constitution, as imperfect as it is, is clear on the eligibility to contest. Rather than resort to abuses, you can seek elective office or market your preferred candidates.

deltateam:
Don't be silly. You are behaving childish.

The girl is depressed and you're catching cruise on top her depression.

As in, I don't understand how people can go so low catching cruise with some other person's pain.

There are so many psychopaths in the country called Nigeria. No wonder the country is the way it is.

adecz:
All these Fulani bandits terrorists
were invited into the country by Buhari
& his ilk to come and fight in the event
that PDP won the 2015 polls..❌

I am curious about this your theory. But for this theory to make sense, one would need to explain why these Governors in question (Governors of Zamfara, Sokoto and Taraba) are all PDP governors.

What I can deduce is that the Northern elites and politicians, either PDP or APC, are responsible for the banditry in the North through the acts of omission or commission. And to think that Tambuwal's is being considered for the Presidency in 2023 is mind boggling!

atepomma:
Have you ever imagined anything worse than voting for Buhari? The answer will be voting for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Be wise. Another mistake will be another almost ten years of your life wasted.

Please channel the energy you use in mentioning Tinubu to market your candidate. This strategy of trying to demarket him might not work.

There were lots of media attacks on Buhari before he became the President but I think those attacks and demarketing efforts only made Buhari more popular.

Please, the voting populace needs to know about the alternative candidates and their pedigrees.

aribisala0:
Many Nigerians do have a firmer grasp of the language than you would ever have if you had another lifetime. Certainly most Nigerians have a better grasp than Klopp and his watery defence at the time was his poor English
The claim of irony is unpersuasive and debatable. Not being persuaded is nothing to do with the language. Do not project your inadequate feelings on to "most Nigerians"
I agree with you that ignorance is dangerous this is particularly the case when it travels with an inflated and delusional sense of self

I crave your indulgence to co-sign this fine piece authored by you. I couldn't have said it better. Kudos.

This is the reason why people are clamouring for fiscal federalism - let each state control whatever they generate and pay a percentage to the FG.

Not this one that some states would be productive for 4 days and some will be productive for 5 or more days and the FG would now share (allocate) funds to them regardless of their respective productivities.

As soon as there is fiscal federalism, any state that wishes can implement 2 working days per week.

treatise:
Selective exploration is usually adopted in taken care of security challenges in order to avoid being charged with genocide but with the groups been declared terrorists the armed forces can now use maximum force without fear or favour.

My brother please don't defend the indefensible: as early as 2015 the Global terrorism index already classified these bandits as the 4th deadliest terrorist group (See the attached image).

Beyond military attacks on these criminals, did we need to wait for the bandits to be declared terrorists before we can successfully prosecute any of them that had been caught? Have you ever heard of any successful prosecution of any of them regardless of all their crimes against humanity!

I hate to say this but it would appear as if the government of the day only woke up to this menace when the bandits started attacking the Northerners - especially the elite. Perhaps, the President and his military chiefs believed everything was okay as long as only Southerners were targeted by the bandits.

The truth is that Mr President is too clannish and tribal!

Mad people everywhere. After giving them bloody noses, find a way to bring back to life all the innocent people that have been killed by the bandits.

For close to 7 years they just thought it fit to designate bandits as terrorists! Incompetent lots.

bomsilaga:
Believe me, you are overreacting.
She knew it wasn't good for her health but obviously didn't know it could be that bad.

You have a good woman as wife and please try get over this mistake and live your lives well as before.

Nobody said marriage would be without these pains and errors.

Cheers

I refer to the part of your post in emphasis (read bold face) and find it contradictory and not extenuating enough to absolve the wife of any blame.

By that statement, you admitted that his wife knew salt was bad for the mother in law but she didn't bother to care about how bad it could be! I am hoping that I read you wrong and I am seeking for clarifications. Thanks.

WibusJaga:


Well, there's really no addictive substance in soft drinks so it's much easier to quit if you decide to, unlike cigarettes & alcohol.

This statement is not true. Soft drinks contain sugar which is one of the most addictive substances in this world.

This man should just keep quiet. His incompetence is not excusable. I usually refrain from giving opinions on the performance of Presidents until their tenures are almost over like in this case.

Posterity will not be fair to this man. While one concedes that PMB's tenure suffered some revenue handicaps he has borrowed to make up for those revenue shortfalls. He has been too parochial in being an ethnic champion. His fight against corruption has neither been here nor there. The insecurity and needless loss of lives all over the country is demeaning of a General worth his rank.

His penchant for treating Nigerians with disdain is annoying. How could you be humble to go and solicit for votes but refuse to communicate to the people who elected you?!

Except for some capital projects like railway, roads, this government has failed the people. The electorates should remember that some of the appointees in this government should never be allowed to get into government again.

BluntTheApostle:
The point you are missing is that if this was a cult initiation gone wrong, then it may not fly as a murder case.

Motive is very important.

If it can be established that it was an initiation gone wrong, then how can you say the motive of the suspects was to murder Sylvester?

Their motive would be certainly to merely initiate him, not to MURDER him.

I perfectly understand your point. And I do understand the kite that the defence counsels and parents of the accused students are flying.

I can see that they are preparing the ground for a general defence hoping to build their case around "consent defence" otherwise known as the defence of volenti non fit injuria.

However, for the defence of volenti non fit injuria to succeed the act of the defendants must not be unlawful or illegal. Hence, the court will have to decide if the actions of the young men at initiating Sylvester into a secret cult was lawful.

Again, if the reported news of Sylvester having earlier reported the some of the boys for bullying is anything to go by, then it may be argued by prosecution that his earlier report signified lack of consent.

May justice be done in any case.

McEphiks:
Since when does a 12 years old kid have the legal right to sign a document?

You're trying to sound smart but you're not.

Is cultism an organisation, if no, why then should a document not recognised by the constitution or law of the federal republic give the prerogative of his murder to the suspects

Be critical in your thinking.

Like seriously, I don't understand the ranting of those supporting Kemi's argument. So, if someone agrees that a person should kill him or her, then the would-be killer can escape culpability by pleading that the person signed a document agreeing to be killed? That is some stupid argument from Kemi and her crew.

Princedapace:
My brother, no body is stopping us and our region from having our own media propaganda o.

Very sensible post.

989900:
Less than 1% of abok!s dey get correct sense.

Lol. Is PMB among the 1% from your perspective?

Looks like the efcc under the current chairman is becoming lawless. It is even saddening that the Chairman is a young man with some decent kind of education.

Hence one would have expected some level of modern, scientific and civil approach in the investigations handled by the EFCC but hell no; what we have are cases of operatives breaking into homes and hotels and presuming citizens guilty before fishing for evidences.

Go all round the country the youths are the ones killing and extorting the other youths. Whether it is the policemen, SARS or EFCC!

moshino:
I did not make any "postulations", I asked questions. I have no dog in the race.

Very well then.

moshino:
Votes are never wasted.

Do you think North will vote for Tinubu against Atiku, and if Atiku runs against tinubu, and wins north, south south and south east, who do you think becomes president of your country?

Why don't you guys leave all these postulations. The man Tinubu will run with his resources against Atiku or any other candidate; if he loses it will be his own loss. So, you and I should focus on promoting our candidates and not bother about whether Tinubu will lose or not.
