seunmsg:The excerpts posted are those of Gumi senior who is deceased. I believe the one you want arrested is the son who seems to be following the father's ideology. I am not against your proposition, I just pointed out the difference. |
smileyoo: |
Wallade:Sokoto was chosen because it provides a pathway for the terrorists into Nigeria. If you know that axis well, from Ilela in Sokoto you enter Duruku in Niger republic. That very location that was attacked has been confirmed by the Sokoto state governor as a terrorists' hideout. |
LagosOrigin:And, is there anything wrong with this? |
CodeTemplarr:Hold on a minute! Can you kindly point me at anything online that suggests that this only has to do with Hajj and mosque subsidy. Thanks in advance. |
trutharena:How can the ACF's concerns be valid. The Northern elites, for reasons best known to them, have allowed insecurity in their land for far too long. Consequently, the FG has been spending needlessly on security. The funds used for fighting insurgency would have done a lot for them. |
DenreleDave:As in? Even the reporter said he could not confirm the number of civilian casualties but later added that it was 3. Laughing out loud. What the hell would anybody be doing in a place under the control of terrorists? Except such people are terrorists enablers or apologists. |
9jatriot:I didn't even read your post before I submitted mine. You have just echoed my thoughts. Investigative officers are not judges, so why is he requesting for recusal. Additionally, his press release does not even disclose any personal issue with the EFCC chair to warrant his purported fears. At this rate, he may likely request for the recusal of employees of EFCC who were in the system during the Ayo Salami's probe. |
@Fergie, this is really interesting. However, I am minded to query the basis for which the ex-AGF (Malami) is requesting for recusal of the EFCC:s chair at this time. I believe that the EFCC chair will not be adjudicating over the matter and the EFCC can only bring past evidences (if they have any) of corruption to try the ex-AGF. I believe that Malami should be requesting for a speedy trial, if he believes that his hands are clean. I dare say that it is not within his power to determine who investigates him or not. |
omoredia:I completely agree with you. Even here in Nigeria, that's what we need to do. |
nairalanda1:Whether alcohol is anyone's "God" or not should not be for you to decide. The fact that you and I do not take alcohol should not be taken to be manual for people to live their lives. |
nairalanda1:Shouldn't the same theory of state governments being able to implement laws within their domains apply across board? For context, several states have enacted anti public grazing laws yet, the Northerners has consistently cited the fact that such laws run foul of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of movement. If Northern states can exercise their liberty to destroy alcoholic drinks, then their Southern counterparts should be able to destroy grazing cows too! Southerners should prevail on their lawmakers to collectively challenge this anomaly. Secondly, human rights lawyers of Southern extractions should approach the court to test the legality of hisbah's action. |
If kidnapping started in the south, how many northerners did the southerners kidnap? The niger-deltans did not go about kidnapping people in other regions or states. They focused on their region. Why are the northern kidnappers going to other regions and states? |
This is where the national assembly members are failing in their duties. The national assembly has committees for Defence, Army, Navy and Airforce. A public hearing into this issue should have been conducted and the chain of command grilled on national TV. By now, we would have had answers and the national assembly can then make recommendations based on the findings. |
LibertyRep:Akpabio has just sued her for defamation. She is responding to that suit. It will be interesting to see how the case goes. If she is unable to provide evidence backing her allegations Akpabio wins and get some damages. |
SmartPolician:It is either she does not understand the reasons or she is just playing to the gallery by making suggestions to make Nigerian content creators earn as well as their U.S counterparts when she knows that the fundamentals are not the same. |
matify83:A fair assessment. The man, Cardoso, deserves his flowers. He is doing a wonderful job. |
With this statement, Dele Momodu comes across as a very insensitive person. So, Atiku that has the financial wherewithal to hire the most sophisticated body guards money can afford should be assigned policemen at the detriment of the masses. This is one of the most asinine statements I have heard in a while. |
iwaeda:It is possible to declare profit and have a terrible balance sheet. I believe that the declared profit is for the most recent financial year supervised by Ojulari. Now, the problem with the NNPC financials is the balance sheet items, especially the outstanding liabilities. So, Ojulari may not be deceiving anyone. However, like you said selling the refineries as scrap makes a whole lot of sense as the turn around maintenance schemes provides an avenue for endless looting for people at the NNPC. |
ZACHIE:I wanted to support your motion before. But then I had a rethink. War strategies include information dissemination too. Perhaps, if they don't share their little wins the world may not know that they are doing their bit. Maybe I should just add that the military needs to be a little proactive, they should not wait until these terrorists attack before they neutralize them. |
motymop:So you mean if she was raped she should bottle it up and not talk about it. Besides this was an interview and the interviewer asked to know why the interviewee went into public office. Obviously she had to talk about her rape experience since that was her driver for contesting for office. |
mastermaestro:While I agree with you that circumspection is required by a leader at all times it is equally important for a leader not to allow a free for all or a laissez-faire situation. Part of the reasons why we are in this current mess is that previous leaders overlooked some stupid things and those things are now normalized so it is becoming more difficult to manage them. People should not hide under the toga of opposition to burn the country up. And it is the same advise I will give to anyone who becomes the President tomorrow. The freedom of expression comes with certain inherent responsibilities. |
SeeHim:They should execute the judgement speedily, I hate idiots that double as murderers. |
Reports have always inundated us with mind-boggling corruption in NFF (or NFA as it was). We have been hearing about it since God knows when and and yet it has not abated till date. However, FIFA makes it difficult to check mate this problem because any investigation and sanction by the government may be interpreted as "interference". |
DMerciful:Okay, I get your perspectives now. And talking about the rubber-stamp national assembly (as you put it) it is not that easy when it comes to a constitutional amendment. For it, to become law 2/3rd of the states house of assemblies have to agree to it. That is where the conundrum is and there is need for tact to convince the northern states on the need to support state policing. Otherwise, it cannot be forced. These are the facts of the matter that we have to live with. No matter how strongly we believe in certain principles, constitutional democracy in a multi-ethnic society like ours, can slow down things. |
DMerciful:I believe that this is not an "excuse". I guess that the Southern Governors, decided to collectively voice their support for state police, perhaps, to let it be on record that they are not the one holding it back. And this can serve as a wake up call for southern lawmakers to push harder for the constitutional amendment that is required at the national bill before state police can become operational. |
DMerciful:I guess they are advocating it to some Northern governors. I think it was the complaints from some Northern states that stalled it because they spoke about their potential inability to fund state police in some of their states. And I think that explains why Tinubu recently asked that the lawmakers should modify the constitution such that any state that wanted state police could go ahead with having one. |
FreeStuffsNG:Very apt. The government from the day of Buhari and the judiciary wasted too much time on this case. The matter should have gone to trial since. Holding accused persons without trying them does not show us as a serious country. And again, this penchant for political solutions is not helping matters. Going forward, we must allow lady justice to blindly determine issues without minding whose ox is gored. Enough of this madness of seeing some political leaders or local chiefs hold peace talks with murderers parading as bandits without the law enforcement officers rounding them for arrest and prosecution. |
The parents' statement flies in the face of logic. Assuming without conceding that the teacher had previously assaulted their child on previous occasions, this defence can only be justifiable if they have records of reporting the issue to the necessary authorities ( i.e. the ministry of education, the police, the school authorities) Without prior reports of alleged previous assaults it would at the very least appear as if they resorted to self help. Therefore, their acts remain condemnable and actionable. |
jaxxy:But many of them are 'illiterates' in the real sense of it. And that explains why many of them are unemployable. The little time that they are supposed to use for their self-development, they fritter it away on the altar of foolishness! |
SmartPolician:Like seriously, I laughed at the lots that were over estimating themselves calling Soludo one time governor. Regardless of his shortcomings, and all men have theirs, Soludo remains one of the shining lights from the south east. |
stuffs2002:While I do not have evidence to controvert your submission, permit me to add that a country that allows it's governors and other elected officials to hold open "peace meetings" meetings with murderers is already on its way to destruction with or without America's intervention. According to the Nigerian law, anyone who kills shall be killed, why are bandits and terrorists treated differently? These are people who have killed several people and yet the Northern leadership does not find it offensive or repulsive. What is happening in the North at the moment is reprehensible and highly condemnable, yet the seed was planted long ago. When a people delight in killing humans like them under the guise of "being infidels", they become desensitized to human killing and they will start killing themselves overtime. If this nonsense is not nipped in the bud, what is playing out now will be child's play compared to what is to come. |
