I just hope America wont regret their decision in the near future. Trump is far stronger than many America President lately, under him, this can't happen this quick. Biden needs to learn some things from Trump especially boldness and political will.

Actually Trump started the process of withdrawing the u.s troops and legitimized the Taliban leadership when he sent Mike Pompeo meet with the Taliban leadership in December 2020.

mu2sa2:
Sadly, that's the truth and nothing but the truth. Fulani never forgive. The family members of each of the victims will consider it a bouden duty to avenge the death of their loved ones on irigwe people.

It is unfortunate that these people, died a needless death and we should sue for peace from all parties and show love to one another whether fulani or non-fulani.

The deaths will definitely be avenged by any means, even if it takes generations to be accomplished, especially given that these victims are completely innocent and had nothing to do with the earlier killing of the six irigwe. Sad, sad, sad. The Fulani already have a well-coordinated militia to summon into action.

Sadly, narratives like yours that eulogize the barbarity of the Fulanis in vengeance as some sort of virtue is disturbing. While, the other tribes have chosen to be more civil: narratives like yours may push them to shed their civility and embrace "an-eye-for-an-eye" principle like the Fulanis. Tell the Fulanis to take their well co-ordinated militia to Ghana and other places that they are compelled to be law-abiding. All these madness will stop after 2023.

slimghost:
And who gave the Army the power to grant amnesty to people that committed crimes punishable as enshrined in our constitution?.
This country is a joke taken too far.

This is a very brilliant question. I wonder why our human rights activists and some of the widows of the slain military men aren't seeking judicial intervention with respect to your question. It is never within the powers of the Army to grant amnesty to these murderers.

Criminals ought to be sentenced to death and their organs harvested and sold to cater for the surviving dependants of their victim. Animals in human skin.

GardenOfGod:
But why is Jagaban of Yorubaland not airing his views on the issues affecting his people?
A local man enquires because he's tired.

OBJ and Tinubu have not issued any public statement on the saga of Igboho and co.

I am sure that they won't go public with whatever steps they are taking to assist him and his co-travellers.

What does it amount to if they just say something to pander to the public and do nothing to assist Igboho and co.

Their actions are more important than their speeches at this point in time.

Beancounter94:
Racoon...I am not a Buhari supporter...however, some differences between the Dunamis and this protest.

1.The Dunamis 5 stood up in the midst of a church service...and disrupted the service, and were stopped by church secuirty.

2.The Dunamis 5 also did their protest in a very prominent church near the city center.

(And they should not have been arrested...that is certian)

3.The Dunamis 5 were handed over to DSS on the orders of the pastor

As for this lot

1.They did their protest in a mosque in a satellite city...not in the city center.

2. They did not stand up during prayers, or during the Imam's sermon, and start shouting slogans.

3.They conducted themselves peacefully. No noise, nothing...so the Imam had no reason to call the cops or DSS to maintain order.

I doubt the Dunamis 5 would have been arrested if all they did was WHAT these guys did...wear their shirts, and not draw too much attention to themselves.

Now, again, Ememnche (who I am not a fan of) handed over the Dunamis 5 to the DSS because he was probably concerend about 1) Getting into trobule with the DSS. 2) Possible crowd issues.


This is just my analysis. It does not mean I like Buhari...I agree that Buhari should not have been voted in or that he should have won. But the thing is, both protests were different things.

Great contribution. I like people who can detach their emotions from their analysis and be factual.

Triangles1:
Boko Haram doesn't fetch the north money again so they changed tactics, bastard.

Reason why I don't like bubu you're after Sunday Igboho and namdi Kanu, but Boko Haram surender without taking them to court, you're a disgrace sir.

As in the the thing is very annoying.

Sebastine1994:
2023 election many promise will be made, remember they are just lying to you and I.

I would vote for anyone whose manifesto is about resuscitating the local government system. Charity begins at home, the local community is the building blocks of the whole country

If you build a house with faulty blocks and materia, no matter how beautiful it is, it will not stand, the community is the pillar that holds this country.

Let us start changing this country from our community first before trying to change the whole system, that is why protest wouldn't work, protest is to trying to change things from the top,

I swear to God, nobody can change Nigeria without our collective effort, it is not a one person job, we need to work together.

I agree with you that the Local Government ought to be the building blocks of the country. However, we should not go back to the kind of the local government system we had in Nigeria where the citizens failed to police the allocation of funds and disbursements with respect to the Local Governments. In that sense, the LGs served only as conduit pipes. The LG officials are the closest to the grassroots, therefore our people should do more in policing their activities.

Bar1941:
Good one but the problem is court judgements are not honoured by Buhari and his DSS when they go against them.

But when the court insisted that DSS must produce Igboho's associates that were arrested they did, even though they would have loved not to. There is a limit to the number of court orders that they can flout.

fergie001:
The reason the Court might not see it as statute-barred is because the plaintiff is stringing it together with the recently held Congress.

The truth is there is none, however, NEC empowered the CECPC.
The difference is in a name, because NEC is the Principal Executive body of the Party.

The problem is the man who is National Chairman.
NEC empowers the National Chair, National Sec & others, so I don't think that's really the problem. NEC is still active. However, any decision of NEC meeting with Buni as Chair is null and void.

Again, this CECPC shouldn't have exceeded 6 months, Section 223 handled that.

I fully concur with your submissions.

Monogamy:


All the fake media in Nigeria shall all be put to shame..

If we can defeat you people during Acclaimed Lekki massacre, this shouldn't be hard ..

AGF has denied receiving extradition notification from FBI.

Kyari is not the only person indicted in Hush's case, the case that Kyari is being involved should be one of the least amount transaction in what hush is being charged for.

So Kyari had prior knowledge of the transaction amount which is $500k but still collect $20k in batches? Stop feeding us that crap

Then I Ask, why are some of the Nigeria media focusing only on Kyari's Case, when there are so many other people indicted in the said FBi report..

Is there something they are not telling us?

Naturally the mention of a popular law enforcement officer like Kyari as being involved in a crime would interest a lot of people. This is the reason why those who wear white clothes are advised never to play near palm oil to avoid potential stains.

Thinkfree:
what crime has kyari committed against the United States that fbi want him.

I don't have the details but any financial crime that passes through the American financial system or that involves the payment or receipt of dollars is treated as a crime against America.

Hence if the money paid to Abba Kyari was in Dollars or passed through the American financial system the American government would assume jurisdiction.

Amotolongbo:
This is more like a state police the state governors have been clamoring for.

Decentralize the police and let the state governors take charge of the security in their states. Let us know which state government is functioning and which one is lacking in function.

The FG police have been compromised into receiving bribes and sewing and waybilling cloths and caps.

And more importantly such volunteers are often recruited into the Army in appreciation of their efforts and when such happens the ethnic imbalance in the recruitment of security operatives in the country deepens in favour of the North.

Respect the, north!!! When it comes to northern interest, her politicians jettison party affiliations..

See the way northern PDP joined their APC counterparts to condemn and sentence the young man for insulting their terrorist leader.

But Down south, both APC and PDP southern leaders cannot even unite to pursue ordinary restructuring or resource control.
Nah so dem go dey fight till Buhari leave office.
Shame!

Southerners do have a lot to learn honestly

karbie:
Hello
I started python last month and got stuck somewhere with jupyter. Please can we connect? you might be able to help me. Thank you.

Why Jupyter, are you an aspiring Data Scientist?

Most times people become bogged by what programming language they should learn and end up not starting at all or they get confused along the line if they ever started. The key is to stay true to one of the programming languages especially Objected Oriented Programming Languages (OOPL) because of the reusability of classes, objects as well the usefulness of polymorphism and inheritance.

Once you gain mastery of one of the programming languages, it would be easy to master another language because basically most modern programming languages have similar operations, even though they may differ syntactically. For, instance all languages have data structures and operate on the basis of algorithms.

Any would be learner should strive to understand CRUD (Create-Read-Update-Delete) operations and continually think of how to apply the gained knowledge to solve real life problems. Your ability to use your programming knowledge to solve real-life problems is what earns you money and not your ability to code in many languages!

Back to the question, beginners might consider learning Python language or Ruby, even though I have a preference for Python. This piece of advice is coming from someone who became certified as Sun Certified Java Programmer in 2003 but who is now a convert of the Python Programming Language.

akaahs:
What did these people do to deserve this level of wickedness??

It is really painful for any crop farmer to experience the destruction of their farm by livestock. However, this picture you posted appeared like the destructive animals are West African Dwarfs goats which are majorly bred by Southerners. These breeds are not known to be bred by the Fulani herders.

LibertyRep:
Even though the marauding and privileged herders are capable of anything, I still couldn't see evidence of destruction of a 40 - acre farmland above.

The criminal actions of herders who destroy people's farms and investments are totally condemnable. That said, like you pointed out there is no evidence that there was destruction of any 40 - acre farmland as the Op posits. The original farm pictures had rows of corns and no evidence of palm trees while the latter pictures had only palm trees. More importantly, the source of the story is questionable and may not suffice as a credible source. I call on the owner of this site to request his mods to be more diligent in scrutinizing the stories that grace the front page of this forum.

lonelydora:
Malami is not sound to lead the justice ministry of Nigeria.

Malami is part of the current cabal, but karma will soon catch up with him.

We dey watch.

Nigerians have always been unfortunate with the AGFs we have. Nevertheless, it is comforting to know that there were AGFs before the current one and of course, there will be others after this regime.

seunmsg:
PDP cannot sue APC over the internal affairs of APC. This is a settled position of law now.

But APC members can sue the party and you and I know that they sure will. As the tenure of PMB winds up, more members of the party will be emboldened to challenge the party as they perceive the ebbing of Mr President's punitive powers through the instrumentality of the State.

Akharmony:
Everyone deh benefit from the corruption in one way or the other.. Truly African as a whole need a compedium of mind renew system.

Actually, everyone in Nigeria is a victim of corruption but our short-sightedness makes it look like we are benefitting from the scourge. In economics, bad money chases away the good money. Ill-gotten wealth destroys the enterprising nature of men.

orisa37:
The US should expose NIGERIA fast and earn The Respect of Nigerian Elites.

I equally want the US to expose Nigeria and the thieving politicians and bureaucrats but that would not earn the U.S the respect of Nigerian elites because the elites are culpable in the rot that characterizes all sectors of Nigeria. The move can only be appreciated and applauded by the Nigerian masses.

Ibkhaleel:
Governors are sharing bailout funds
Workers salaries are not paid
Government officials have their children schooling abroad
Ministers and senators are looting

The poor Hausa man is riding Okada
The poor Ibo man is riding Okada
The poor Yoruba man is riding Okada

The poor Hausa man sleeps under the bridge as Alamajiri
The poor Yoruba man sleeps under the bridge as Alaye
The poor Ibo man sleeps under the bridge as agbero

It is pertinent to note that the poor from all ethnic groups in Nigeria have everything in common and so is the rich.

Do not allow the agitation of an Igbo man who lives in UK or USA for Biafra cause the killing of the Igbo man in Adamawa.

The problem in the country is not the agitation of any ethnic group but the unity of the elite and the disunity of the masses.

How many times have you taken your agitation to question your local government Chairmen?

Why have you not asked your Governors through agitation how they spent bailout fund?

Why have you not agitated against that government official whose mansions you go to beg for help?

Sad to note;
All the Governors love themselves
All the past Presidents love themselves
All the senators love themselves
All the top government officials love themselves
All the looters love themselves

Why can't you and I love ourselves?
Why cant we combine efforts and fight them?
Why do we fight ourselves?
Why do we allow them the freedom we don't have?

Remember; a good Nigeria is better than a good Arewa, Oduduwa or Biafra.

I word is enough for the wise.

This sounds good on paper and I agree with your thesis. Unfortunately, the coming together of the masses maybe difficult and I made this statement advisedly. The elites of a certain part of the country have deliberately ensured that their masses are grossly uneducated so that they can keep using such uneducated masses to further their political objectives.

The scenario plays out when masses of other parts of the country are revolting against bad leadership in the country, the other ones left deliberately uneducated are manipulated to break the ranks of the masses.

Pointedly, Nigerians have terrible and wicked leaders across all the ethnic groups. As you rightly said, the masses have to wise up to understand that their leaders do not have their interests at heart. They only create ethnic divisions when their interests aren't served.

seunmsg:
I am not sure this is a well thought out decision. The ward congresses will be subjected to unnecessary litigation by losers and there is nothing anybody can do about it. The legal distractions can be avoided if the leadership agree to do the right thing before it is too late.

You are a loyal party man. Sadly, it appears as if your party leaders (namely Buhari Malami and co) are hell-bent on destroying the little electoral worthiness that is left of the party.

Looks like whatever Buhari touches turns to saw dust instead of gold. He never provides a sense of direction for his party as a leader.

emsco:
This woman never win Olympic medal and she has been to 7 Olympic. Time to give the young ones a chance

Olympic qualifiers aren't decided on the basis of age. Young or old, you will go through the qualifiers and if you make the cut you will go to the Olympics. Funke started representing Nigeria at 20 years of age not because she was young but she was good enough as she proved in competitions she participated in, before her Olympics debut.

Ajixegun:
My dad doesn't need to be there. I'm old enough to lead well and fine if given the opportunity.

Cool and calm response

Ibkhaleel:
You see the problem with you guys no matter where you are even abroad or on the surface of the moon, you are collectively and mentally deranged, backward, criminally insane, bigoted and self-destructive.

Here we have a terrorist and a treasonable fellow ordering the killings and beheading of people including security personnels and innocent young girls beheaded for babalawo juju rubbish, innocent lives, other people's children, but this danegun kabukabu online hater care less about those people senselessly getting slaughtered by terrorists, his first instic is to defend a criminal, a terrorists and a claim the act as been justifyable

Are you sick in the head? Please point out where I defended anybody guilty of treason or the killings of people. At no point did I ever do any of the things you claim. How then do you attribute the stuffs I never said to me. Please humour me. Are you sure that you did not intend to quote someone else?

Was it too much to ask that we maintain a balanced view and deal with all law breakers across board regardless of their ethnic inclinations. I expect nothing less than an apology from you for attributing statements I never made to me.

And for your information, I am first and foremost a Nigerian and I don't engage in throwing abuses at any tribe and you would have seen that I have never attacked your tribe. I relate with individuals and i don't judge any tribe by the misdeeds of individuals. It is almost impossible for you to guess my tribe and you are completely wrong about your guess.

abraham324:
UNETHICAL PRACTICE OF THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE IN THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MRS MARY STEPHEN OKOI FROM THE PALACE OF IGWE UGBEMO OF OKPAI NDOKWA EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF DELTA STATE NIGERIA

1. The Senate President, Honourable Speaker, distinguished honourable members, SANs, the NBA, Human Right activists, NGOs, the International Community, members of the fourth estate of the realm and the undeterred citizens of my great Country Nigeria. I plea you all to continue to share and let the injustices perpetrated by the Nigerian Police be made open to every Nigerian. It is sad how because of pecuniary gains the Nigerian Police will cover up a crime against the State (Murder) and the system will ignore, terribly unfortunate. Please allow me to be more explicit that it is not in any way meant to slight or bring disrepute to the Nigerian Police but a quest for justice. Over the years I have worked with the Nigerian Police and I will like to state that the Nigerian Police if not the best is amongst the best Police Force in Africa. However, when a Police Unit is been compromised, the situation is a different ball game. In this regards you will even prefer an organized vigilante group to the Police. This is a shout out to all Nigerians and all paraphernalia of justice in the Country to please ensure justice prevails in the disappearance of my sister from the Palace of Igwe Ugbemo of Okpai, Ndokwa East LGA of Delta State Nigeria. The wicked ones are working day and night to sweep the case under the rug.

2. On 24th December, 2020 my sister; Mrs Mary Stephen Okoi was lured by her husband Mr Collins Ugbemo (Grandson to Igwe Ugbemo) to his village Okpai in Ndokwa East LGA of Delta State in the pretext of going to spend Christmas holiday. Ostensibly, all plans have been put in place in conjunction with her pastor to do away with her as she opposed the idea of her husband marrying a second wife. On getting to the Palace the plan was carried out in servitude of a deity they worshiped and the next day they called that my sister was missing. Initially, I never suspected any fowl play as I asked them to report to the Police Station at Ashaka. The relative nonchalance from her husband for somebody whose wife was missing began to raise suspicion as my private investigator revealed no entry was made at Ashaka Police Station after one week of the incidence. When I questioned the fact that no entry was made at Ashaka Police Station, the Station was later burnt down by them to cover up the fact that no entry of any missing person was made because I centered my premise for suspicion on that. This was meant to frustrate the authenticity of my claim.

3. A petition was sent to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) on the matter with the Reference IHN/MA/IGP/LTCO/01/21 dated Monday, January 11, 2021 by our Lawyers I.H NGADA & CO to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Mary. After my personal request to Delta State Police Command for investigation with the Reference (held) dated 29th December, 2020. On 3rd February, 2021 a follow up trip was made to Delta State Police Command to verify the extent they have gone in the investigation of the disappearance of my sister from the Igwe Ugbemo’s Palace at Okpai. At the Delta State Police Command I got the shocker of my life. A case as open and clear cut as this, the Delta State Police Command Anti-Kidnapping Squad has turned my sister to be the villain in the matter. To the chagrin of my family and law abiding Nigerians the Police in Delta State displayed a pretext ineptitude all in a bid to stall the case and eventually kill the momentum of the case so that it may yield to nothing. The attitude of the Delta State Police Command was a complete and final demonstration of a compromised Police Unit. The display was indeed shameful to say the least, unprofessional and tainted with malicious ignominy. It’s okay that Igwe Ugbemo has money to throw around but we shout and rant about corruption while it is propagated amongst us. When an institution of government is allowed to carry on like the Delta State Police Command, to redefine justice for its own aggrandizement there will be a time not so far away when Nigeria will experience Institutional apoptosis that will permeate all other institutions of government. It’s been 8 months now and the Nigerian Police is still dilly dalling with the matter to facilitate a cover up.

4. When I saw the obvious compromise that has permeated the Delta State Police Command I sent a petition to the IGP through our lawyers registering my complaint of the lack of professionalism of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the Delta State Police Command saddled with the investigation with Reference IHN/MA/IGP/04/21 dated Monday, April 11, 2021 requesting the IGP to direct the Police Intelligence Response Team (PIRT) to carry on with the matter. A petition was also sent to the Senate with the Reference IHN/MA/SO/03/21 dated Monday, March 29, 2021 and another to the Speaker House of Representatives with the Reference IHN/MA/AE/03/21 dated Monday, March 29, 2021. Again a petition was also sent to the Wife of the Delta State Governor with the Reference IHN/MA/DS/01/21 dated Thursday, January 28, 2021 and to the Department of State Service (DSS) with the Reference (held), which I sincerely commend for their effort so far in the matter. The House of Representative went into action and our petition was referred to the House of Representatives’ Committee on Public Petition with Petition No: 344 of 2021 against the IGP and a first hearing was set for 8th June, 2021 with the Police absent and adjourned to 23rd June, 2021 with the Police still so absent. One of my Bosses would say “the man weh eat onions if he talk him mouth go smell”. Thirdly, another hearing was fixed for 7th July, 2021 and the Police never showed up. The Police Headquarters alleged that the case is against the Delta State Police Command that Delta Police to come in to answer. We have been in the system for too long, where is your letter to Delta State Police Command directing it to report for the hearing. Nigerians have since outgrown those rigmaroles. It is so sad and debilitating that from the IGP down to Ashaka Police Station everybody is feigning a pretext ineptitude pretending they don’t know what to do. I laugh because Karma will locate you all in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen and Amen!!!

5. Sahara Reporters was not left out in this show of shame. They were also paid off to remove their publication of my sister’s disappearance from the Palace of Igwe Ugbemo of Okpai from their page. Outwardly, Sahara Reporters pretends to be a mouth piece of the people but behind the scene they are just hustlers. Thank God they were exposed so tomorrow somebody will not come from there to play holy that he wants to be president with a behind the scene character filled with blemish. I may not have the powers or means to move them to be diligent in their job and stop this pretext ineptitude but I know Nigerians collectively have the power. The murderers of my sister are walking the streets like normal human beings. If they are allowed to continue to roam the streets freely it will not end with my sister before long they will need another female to appease their deity and another innocent woman will die. The faith of my sister’s 2 daughters hangs in the balance. I fear they may one day use the innocent little girls again for their Palace rituals. Let us rise up to ensure justice is served. I am a law abiding citizen of this country and as such I have sought to seek Justice through all paraphernalia of justice available in the Country as can be seen in all my references to no avail. My only option now is the people. As Mao Tse Tung rightly said that “of all resources humans are the greatest”. I seek justice in the hands of the greatest resources in the entire world, the Nigerian people and citizens all over the World, please speak out against injustice as this nonsense has got to stop. Do not stop at only specking out, do something Nigerians to assist me in my quest for justice. The Nigerian Police Force and Igwe Ugbemo of Okpai are not in any way greater than the People.

6. I believe in Nigeria so much that I refuse to accept that Nigeria has reached a state of debauchery and bacchanalia where someone can just kill a human being and walk away with no law to contend with. No law abiding Nigerian should allow this happen. What is wrong is wrong no matter how subversive elements try to paint it. Walking away with murder in a clear cut case like this one is an insult on the Nigeria State and thus making a mockery of our collective values as Nigerians. I therefore plea the Senate President, Honourable Speaker and the IGP to use all the paraphernalia of government available before them to ensure an unblemished Police Unit from Force Headquarter is sent to Okpai, Delta State in order to bring a conclusive end to the case of disappearance of my sister from the Palace of Igwe Ugbemo of Okpai with a time frame specified and the perpetrators (Her husband and cohorts) and accomplices brought to book.

7. Please Nigerians and the International Community accept the assurances of my highest regards. Thank you all.

This breaks my heart and I wish the writer of this piece strength and fortitude. Man's inhumanity to man is really heartbreaking!

Ibkhaleel:
The criminals in the north are dealth (dealt) with severely day by day their strongholds are gunned down...every sensible nigerian (Nigerian) knows that the Armed forces are winning the war.....but to you bigots u are deaf dumb and blind to the truth

Your idiocy transcends borders. How the hell did I express any bigotry. I usually restrain myself in engaging in exchange of words with people and I do not entertain ethnic chauvinism because I understand that there are bad people from every tribe. But calling me a bigot (that I am clearly not) as well as deaf and dumb is a no-no for me. You can keep being stupid and calling people names on the internet but hey show some respect to people that you have never met and may never meet. And by the way learn to write in proper English and if you are incapable of doing that you can write in fulfude and we will oblige you at least "ba turenchi" is allowed.

dragunov:
The punkass will not reply you naaah.

Thanks for the mention. Well, we just hope that people try to have a balanced view if they still have any humanity left in them.

Any victory secured through force, without equity and fairness, cannot be sustained and people ought to always remember that power is transient and ephemeral.

Ibkhaleel:
This man called for war, wanted to divide the country, and caused great harm to Fulani people nationwide.

Many Fulani had to leave their homes in the SW and resettle in safer climes all because of this man, now he is begging for leniency? For all he has made the Fulani to suffer, he needs to be brought to justice.

His house was raided based on intelligent report and was found to have stockpile arms and armunitions.

Where did he get them from?
How many security personnel did he killed before getting them?

His juju has failed him, no he must face the law

While he is facing the law, it would have been nice if you had one or two words for the criminals, bandits, kidnappers and herdsmen who willfully destroyed people's farms, raped women and killed farmers.
