This is really bad.
How on earth can these young wicked men do this?

After years of study, to enjoy just a little, you didnot allow.

I am not a fan of death penalty but in this case, I have no problem with it for them.

I just told my wife that perhaps bringing back the death penalty for violent crimes would be a good idea.

While I was growing up I recall that many armed robbers were publicly executed and televised to serve as some form of deterrent to potential criminals. Perhaps, that prevented the prevalence of crimes.

Nowadays, the ages of people who commit these crimes are usually between 20 and 35. And government need to do something fast about it.

Parisian:
He's a SAN ?

Yes, Akeredolu is Senior Advocate of Nigeria (S.A.N). The learned silk was once the President of the Nigeria Bar Association.

SarkinYarki:
This VAT thing is tricky and to get it right we must remove the Toga of emotions ....VAT is a consumption TAX!!!!! To say Lagos state generates 70 percent of VAT in Nigeria is saying Lagos State consumes 70% of Goods and services consumed in Nigeria ...Can this be true ? Is this the reality? .. As Business man I have charged VAT on products supplied to the north but ended up paying that VAT in Lagos but in reality the real person that paid that VAT was the last consumer in the north ...this thing is tricky ... Finding a fair way to allocate VAT will take alot of good brain power ..the former model wasn't fair and neither will this state model ... We must try to separate collection point from the final bearer of VAT ..the First person to pay VAT is usually not the one bears the tax eventually

I understand your point of view but my take is that the Northern states should improve their productivity, charge VAT on the the products and services that emanate therefrom even if the final burden of tax payment is on consumers in South or anywhere else.

The point really is that the Governors of the Northern states can and should do more to contribute to the total productivity of their states. Why should some states work hard to attract investment and investors with the attendant increased productivity contributing to VAT and some people will wait at the end of the month only to share the VAT.

Rugaria:
All those who lined up here like a clan of starving and snarling hyenas to call for the heads of these people when the news of their evil arrests was reported here, should also line up to ask for forgiveness. Uzodinmma and Buhari have finished Imo State youths. Folks should also remember that in the initial report by the police, they claimed that this very boy was the one that took them around to show them where IPOB ESN will normally gather before proceeding to kill "security operatives". Obviously the police in Imo State are nothing but evil drama producers..

The actions of those police officers are condemnable. When karma locates them, they will be running from pillar to post. These illegal and unlawful arrests of innocent people must be resisted by all means possible.

I urge the affected people, wrongly paraded as criminals, to collectively sue the NPF for illegal arrest and defamation of character.

GeneralPula:
To me, if I’m to pick between Osinbajo or Akeredolu for president, I’ll pick this akeredolu..

He seems more rugged with his intelligence..

I just don’t think osinbajo is that rugged at all..

Looks like we fail to appreciate the constitutional limitations of deputies (deputy Governors) and (deputy Presidents) in this part of the world.

Atiku was a "rugged" VP but we saw how it ended for him between him and OBJ. Yaradua's cabal was playing ping-pong with GEJ until death snatched Yaradua and they couldn't play the hide and seek game anymore. Or do you want to talk about VP Namadi Sambo.

I didn't think too much of Osinbajo until he appointed Onnoghen as substantive CJN inspite of the fact that Buhari had refused to confirm Onnoghen.

And the second event was when he sacked the then DG DSS (Mamman Daura, Buhari's cousin and part of the cabal).

It takes a lot of courage and conviction to do what he did even when his principal's body language suggested that he (the principal) was not favourably disposed to taking such actions.

How more rugged could a VP be?

Ozinlex:
Pls take Osinbajo out of that equation. Dude is stuck to Tinubu apron, a vote for him is a vote for Tinubu ruling by proxy. ADESHINA , Peter Obi or Okonjo Iweala better

Until you elect a man into office, you will never be able to tell his capability. Ambode fell out with Tinubu inspite of being a Tinubu's stooge earlier. One of the campaign slogans against Akeredolu in his first shot at being Ondo governor is that he would be a Tinubu stooge; however events have proven the naysayers wrong. Other events such as GEJ vs OBJ, Oshiomole vs Obaseki, Obi vs Current Anambra's Governor (his name eludes me now), Akpabio vs Udom should have taught us that this your hypothesis of Osinbajo being a perpetual lackey of Tinubu, even when elected, cannot hold.

P.S.
Apart from Tinubu bringing Osinbajo into political limelight, I cannot recall any event where he (Osinbajo) has done anything outside of the constitution to favour Tinubu to justify this your assertion. I will like for you to furnish me with contrary facts if you have them. Thanks.

Seeing these bandits in Nigeria's military fatigues is really heartbreaking. They were literally dancing on the graves of the military men who died while fighting these terrorists.

iceberylin:
I Don't trust anyone in this Buhari govt and you shouldn't if you're wise.

Thanks for your piece of advice. I however evaluate people on individual basis. Nigerian politicians have disappointed us many times, perhaps we shouldn't trust any Nigerian politician.

daddytime:
I thought they were disabled.

This one they flew is one of the ones they captured from the Afghan army and not part of those the Americans disabled and left behind.

iceberylin:
Are you mad? So if given the change you'll elect Osinbajo again? Gosh what is wrong with NIGERIANS?

Please, can you educate me on what is wrong with an Osinbajo candidacy? I recall that it was Osinbajo that confirmed Onnoghen (the former CJN) even when it was clear that the cabal and Buhari were looking for excuses to side-step him even though he (Onnoghen) was the most senior Supreme Court Justice as at then.

Secondly, Osinbajo was the one who sacked Mamman Daura for not getting clearance and directives before the infamous midnight raid of the house of Justices and Judges.

You may want to note that since those 2 incidences, Buhari has refused to transmit power to his vp any time he travelled.

One of the the accusations that I find laughable is that Osinbajo has not done enough. But the truth is that the VP can only perform actions assigned to him by the President who is his principal.

In my opinion, the VP acted in accordance with the constitution responsibly whenever he acted in his capacity as the President.


I will really like it, if Obi, Osinbajo, Okonjo-Iweala and Akinwunmi Adesina are on the ballot.

inforesource:
They should try it. In fact if it is not prof Yemi Osinbanjo or Peter Obi, or Ebonyi state governor or any other great candidate who has proved to be a great fit, then they should forget it. This time I don't send party.

Way to go. The political parties are irrelevant.

I await the response of Miyetti Allah to the governor's directives. If a Southern Governor makes such pronouncements, some people will be saying thrash. Good that the Northern Governors are even the ones laying precedences.

Aufbauh:
I think this Gov. Ortom needs a head check as his case is gradually deteriorating from paranoia to full blown insanity.

The question that any reasonable person should ask is that; why is it only Ortom in the whole Benue propagating this conspiracy theory if it is not mere mischief? Are they no worthy Benue indigenes even in the opposition to echo his narrative?

Only Ortom cannot be the only one with sight, insight and foresight in the entire state.

Call Ortom whatever name you deem fit but Buhari's actions and inactions are actually giving life to Ortom's narratives to the extent that people who ordinarily would not believe his theories are now his converts. All thanks to President Buhari.

Ladycewhy:
This I will listen to, the southern governors better get to work.

Sure, the Southern governors have their work cut out for them. They have to stop lazying about.

Ladycewhy:
By who? And with which security outfit?

By Southern agencies equivalent in weight and strength to Hisbah in the Northern states. If Hisbah has been destroying people's goods in the North without intervention from FG, a counterpart agency will destroy cows that contravene the anti-grazing laws in the South and even some citizens will join the enforcement team.

elonmuskbaby:
professor mumuric aka professor didirin, professor oponu alongside his brainless followers has suddenly gone dumb

Southwesterners need to engage and show that Muric Professor that his ideologies are not acceptable to the Southwesterners. If he refuses to retrace his steps, he should be banished. Very idiotic fellow.

Bornsinner7:
Why would there be a hisbah police when we already have the Nigerian police..

And this guys go into federal institutions to apprehend non Muslims.. breach the right of non Muslims.. funny thing is they operate under the existence of a Federal law.. so how does the rule or supremacy of law come in play

Nigeria is a joke

If that is the case.. Christians, atheists, sango worshippers, amadioha worshippers and the rest should set up their own police arm

You have raised very serious issues. I wonder why the non-muslims residing in Kano who had suffer losses as a result of Hisbah's excesses haven't challenged such actions in federal high courts. When they set up this sharia, they claimed it would only apply to Muslims only but that isn't the case any more.

And this is one of the things that I will never forgive OBJ for; he allowed this Sharia thing to take root in Zamfara state from where it has spread to other Northern states. OBJ did not defend the constitution well because our constitution states that we are a secular country. The question is: why did he allow a part of the country to become theocratic?

tamdun:
Exactly, what about other tribes like hausa, tiv

The 2 parties ought to field southern candidates at this point in time. Why can't the PDP field an Igbo technocrat like Okonjo Iweala.

The Tivs and Hausas or Chambas can make a case for themselves when it is the Northerners' turn.

Some people will tell you that rotational Presidency isn't good but they will support quota system for admission into unity schools on the basis of being educationally disadvantaged; isn't that sophistry?

WaffenSS:
What a senseless tragedy.

May their souls RIP.


May God strike the killers dead in the most painful way.

I wish the rest of Nigeria would arm itself up against these killer fulani bastards since the government has failed.

And before anyone says anything stupid, I'm fulani too.

Respect

Charmingrascal:
Even Boko Haram didn't do this still they are yet to declare Fulani killers as terrorists.

It is so shameful that ragtag Fulani terrorists attacked the place where Nigeria military personnel are trained, they killed and still went away with Officers.


So shameful, I wonder what is stopping them from shelling forests where those bandits stay.

Banana dey spoil dem say e dey ripe
They should continue pampering them they will soon enter aso rock

Failed Government breeds failure

The failure of the Buhari led government in handling the bandits is so glaring and annoying at the same time. If defeating boko haram is difficult because those ones are waging an ideological war fueled by radicalism what excuse does the government and the security agencies have in allowing this banditry nonsense to continue.

If the security forces believed that pampering the bandits will insulate them from attacks before now, this daring attack on the NDA should force them to have a rethink.

PAWG:
Bro you commented based on your understanding, I’m doing same. The refund was for the shipping, not the car.


Reread the original report and see how the situation was painted.

Thanks for the heads up

PAWG:
Madness how? Don’t your brothers ship Toyota from Canada to Nigeria when Toyota is made in South Africa ?


Oga it’s a luxury car he gifted to a relative, or you think it’s easy to buy cars outright in the US?

You read a story, they responded, rather than question the motives of the bloggers that published the first story, you’re more interested in INDICTING the ex-minister;


normal phd Nigerian mentality

I like Kachikwu as a person but this response does not gel.

Bought a Jaguar in Nigeria and after using for some years, gave it out to a relative in the U.S?
U.S authorities suspected that the car was stolen and after investigation, they returned the car to kachikwu?
He shipped it back to Nigeria and got a refund from the dealer inspite of having used it for some years?

How do you get a refund for a good that you bought and used for some years before returning it to the seller. I need to start patronizing this car dealer.

invinzible1:
Didn't see your mail

I have just sent you another mail. You may check your inbox now.

Skyview01:
You are not particularly bright. Olurin was a military governor and was appointed to govern Oyo State, same way for Buba Marwa in Lagos State.
Don't make everything about tribes, we are not cavemen and there is no benefits to mindless tribalism.

Some of those people aren't particularly bright. You dignify them when you quote them and respond to their shenanigans. Just ignore them whenever you can.

jaxxy:
Not every little thing should trigger a divorce especially when u have young impressionable kids all in the name of being woke.

People should learn to weather the storms together in marriage even in marriage.

You don't have the facts as to what the Anita lady has put up with before deciding to file for divorce. He who wears the shoe knows where it pinches.

iamyemiakins:
Wife wey family accept don dey divorce while the other one wey dem no accept still dey kampe, this life no just balance!

E shock u too.

invinzible1:
Hahahahaha

I have responded to your email.

WaffenSS:
I don't encourage murder because I'm not a barbarian like some people.

This is refreshing and good to know.

WaffenSS:
You also conveniently ignored the 6 fulanis murdered by the irigwes that led to the reprisals that led to your opportunistic and cowardly attacks on those hapless travelers.

I have always condemned violence and the murder of innocent people and I will continue to do so regardless of the tribes or religion of the victims because we all first human before belonging to a tribe or religion.

You talk about me generalizing that bunch of canine-chomping paleolithic cavemen yet you pass the same generalization against the Fulanis by painting them with the same brush. You actually think your inane verbosity masks your hypocrisy and bigotry?

Read calmly over my posts again and you will see that I deliberately did not mention the Fulani as a people because I believe that not all the Fulanis are criminals. I deliberately condemn the actions of those Fulanis that exhibit criminal tendencies and not all Fulani as you have wrongly accused me of. I classified you as one of those because of the way you attacked the Irigiwes collectively. If the law enforcement officers arrest any Irigiwe or Fulani man or woman found to have committed a crime, I will applaud it.

All over this forum we've had to watch almost all christians constantly attacking all Muslim northerners as terrorists and all fulani as killers, and you idiots expect us to sit back and watch quietly?

And no, I don't expect you to sit back and lap it up when people attack and disparage you without basis. Please, you are free to give as much as you take. Personally, I don't care about this distinction between Christians, Muslims or any other religious affiliation. There should not be compulsion in religion and people should remember that the elites that are destroying this country have representation from Christianity, Islam, Atheism and what have you?

Fukk you.

That is alright. I can take and I even endorse verbal exchanges as long as people do not go about taking lives that they cannot make.

As long as the irigwes have distinguished themselves as troublemakers then i have no sympathy for whatever befalls their foolhardiness.

There you go again, lumping all the Irigiwes together. Are you saying that all Irigiwes held a meeting in a place and decided to attack the travelers. Why don't you just direct your diatribes at the ones who carried out the unwarranted killings.

You can mope and wail from your pathetic moral high horse but we can see through the thin veil of your myopia and sentiments.

Pathetic.

You may now write another empty monologue all you want, won't change the fact that everyone knows the irigwes and beroms are nothing but cannibalistic, bloodthirsty dog-eating drunkard cavemen who've refused to evolve from their neanderthal ways.

Cannibalism is a crime according to Nigerian laws. Kindly report such crimes committed by any one either Irigiwe or Berom or any other member of any other ethnic group and allow the law to take its full course but don't encourage the mass killings or murders of any group of people.

salvation:
You must be a lunatic, is your place safe now? I hope you are still running around to hide from the same herdsmen. At the end you will call yourself a christian! "Shame on you, in case if you don't know this is a religious war be wise and emulate sense. You must be a lunatic, is your place safe now? you are running around to hide from the same herdsmen who're maurading you people and you here writing trash, you should beware that that what is going on is a religious war. And you call yourself a christian, shame on you.

Did you quote me in error?

WaffenSS:
You're likely one of the dog eaters too, and I'm sure you've tasted human flesh too.

If the fulanis attack your lazy drunkards by night, why don't the idiots go by day to exact revenge since the Fulani settlements are close to them? Why can't they too use the night as cover?

Are they too drunk to retaliate or is it the coward streak in them preventing them?

You're all a bunch of insignificant, drunken, useless, barbaric, illiterate, myopic, backward natives who the world has since left behind wallowing senselessly and ignorantly in your caveman society.

Your assumptions only underscore your lack of emotional intelligence. I have never subscribed to the cold-blooded murder of people and I empathize with the families and friends of the Fulani travellers that were killed by suspected Irigiwes.

However, your hypocrisy stinks to high heavens. No where and at no point did you condemn the earlier murders of the Irigiwes only for you to come out from nowhere and be condemning the Irigiwes for their actions without condemning the Fulani actions that led to the reprisal attack.

You have called the Irigiwes all manners of unprintable names, isn't that sufficient for you. Do you now kill them because their culture and way of life does not agree with your's?! Who then is the caveman, if not you?

And for your information, the Irigiwes aren't the only group of people who see blood-sucking vampires like you irritable. Actually, you guys are making yourselves enemies all over the country and beyond.

WaffenSS:
Bunch of useless savages.

All they know is alcohol, dog and human flesh, and ambushing defenseless travelers. That's the only expertise of these lazy northern christians.

Face the fulanis in the bush, instead of cowardly attacks.

Nonsense.

This is a very stupid and asinine remark. Whether all these people know is alcohol and dog or not should not be your business. Let them eat their 'dog meat' in peace. How can you hate a group of people and tag them all as being lazy because of their religion; surely you silently applaud the killing of these people.

By the way, your people look like the cowards here. I said it advisedly, because you go about striking in the middle of the night killing aged women, children and weak old men. If you people are not cowards, go to any place during the day after duly informing the people of your intentions to come and fight them and see what would become of you. Despicable human beings.
