The Nigerian military is a significant factor in the country’s insecurity; we must face this reality. Not all situations can be resolved with guns and bullets. The military’s decision to violently remove Boko Haram’s leader contributed to the insurgency’s growth, and now they struggle to manage the situation. The same pattern is evident in the East, where the military's brutal response to protesters led to the rise of unknown gunmen.I quite agree.

The #EndSARS protest, initially peaceful, escalated into violence and looting after the military intervened. Given the widespread frustration and hunger in the country, the risk is high that any attempt to suppress upcoming protests with force could have severe consequences. The northern regions are particularly mobilized, and forceful measures could potentially destabilize the nation further.

Peaceful and constructive solutions are crucial to avoid worsening the situation.

O.5% or 0.005?

0.5% will strangulate the economy. That means for every N1 million transfer, there's a levy of N5,000. That's on top of other bank charges. This is an evil tax, no more, no less.

Also, why is the tax ring fenced for the National Security Adviser, when it should go into the national purse and budgeted to the NSA from there. This unholy scheme will make the NSA one of the most 'juicy' and corrupt offices in the land.

Did the Committee on multiple taxation approve this tax? All these multiple taxation will kill enterprise and lead to job losses as people will give up even trying to establish or run businesses.

Nigeria is the only country I know where the Central bank imposes taxes nilly willy. Neither the Bank of England nor the FED impose taxes. What is the job of the Ministry of Finance.

Nigeria is set up and run the wrong way.

Hold your opay well oh

egwue:
This is going to translate to huge fund being taken from Nigerians into the pockets of few. It's so unfortunate that we have always had insensitive and selfish leaders in this country. It means every Nigerian is automatically poorer by 0.5%.

Boobysmith:
Another way to steal from us in this already hard knocks regime, Why can't it be .01% if necessary.

For every 1 million you transact, you pay 5000 for cyber security....

Providus bank.
The normal one has limit of around $300 monthly for online purchases. It does not work abroad. I use the platinum card which works abroad and online with a $3k monthly limit.
The platinum card gives access to executive lounges at the airport in Abuja and Lagos and others abroad. Guess what, it is only ₦4k to get the card.
It is a regular naira card that deducts from your naira account.

nedekid:
My card works internationally. Aliexpress etc. $3k monthly limit.
Normal na noira bank card.

sammsimm:
Okuama and the nearest communities don price Nigeria army. Both living things and non living things are in trouble

Desusi:
What kind of generation of army do we have nowadays? So Nigeria army has become a private enterprise you can forward a letter of resignation to while in abroad? A commissioned officer for that matter? Yeah!Even a recruit would not do that. Iam an ex soldier, let her be declared on AWOL immediately and a search order be brought against her for disciplinary action. Bloody civilian!

Tranquillity360:
In the zoo called Nigeria,they will be promoted.

Is Reno an Economist?

How many of his past 'prophesies' since 2015 ever came to pass?

The Naira will only gain further whenever Dangote starts sourcing its Crude from Nigeria and in Naira (not the rubbish Reno is writing)

How could Dangote be buying crude from US and you expect Naira to improve?

DropsMic:
Doesn’t exist.

If e dey exist, our politicians would be the most unfortunate people on the face of the earth.
If e dey exist, the descendants of those who participated in the transatlantic slave trade would be suffering today.

Also, prayers don’t work. If it did, Tinubu won’t be the president today.

Subconsciously we all know this these things, but for some reasons, na we believe in them pass.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
The simple truth about solving the problems in Nigeria is nothing but a SINCERE POLITICAL WILL. Uncountable men, women and children are being killed every day due to the lapses by our security institutions. Has the government been so concerned like they are about these 17 Soldiers?!.

I believe , the day political office holders become the MAIN TARGET of kidnappers, bandits and other criminals that is when the masses will have a great relief because the government will have a POLITICAL WILL to solve our insecurity challenges with all sincerity.

SMARTMOTORS:
When soldiers are killed we go dey hear man hunts, burning of houses and sacking of peaceful innocent citizens.....but when criminals, herdsmen or bandits rack and slutter people in their communities all we go hear na INVESTIGATION ON THE MATTER! Thunder go fire all security apparatus in this useless country!! Una fada!!

ZombieTAMER:
Boko Haram members decapitate Nigerian soldiers, and it's not news

The NA don't retaliate
they don't burn down houses in Borno
or harass civilians

What then is the definition of double standard

The thing below is quick to defend Boko haram and the Northern villages housing them...
The NA in Borno are not interested in peace returning to the region ?
I already know it supported Buhari for eight years and capped it up with Tinubu
The tribe that support Injustice in the South, while claiming they're southerners..
Black foreheads everywhere.

Truvelisback:
After killing dozens of innocent civilians, you don't want to leave? You aren't serious. You need to shamelessly leave. You have gotten your revenge in a foolish way.

crossfm:
Hehehe.

What Nigeria army should be doing now is gathering intelligence,not just occupying that village.

If they dig well and cooperate well with the members of the community they will get their answers.

Burning down that village will bring them nothing.

They are just instilling fear and making the main culprits to run far away.

Another thing I don't like is the double standard in Nigeria.
Let me make it clear that I don't and will never support the useless people who carried out these act,but if this issue was to be in the north,will they be burning down the whole village and killing innocent citizens?.

I pointed out the manners the Nigeria army respect and interacts with people in the north on a thread few weeks ago,and this incident has vindicated me.

Nigeria depicts a pure picture of the Animal Farm. All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Shadomaan7:
We stand with the Nigerian Army in their mission to bring justice to the fallen soldiers and restore peace and security in the Niger Delta region.

MichaelSokoto:
dat community is gone 4 good!

Okuoma ppl should jez go buy land elsewhere & start all over again!

CodeTemplar:
Fulanis killed a dozen policemen in Ughelli North some two weeks before okuama episode and nobody occupied anywhere to solve any useless case.

Six Bodies of Slained Officers Recovered

APOPTOSIS:
Hmmmmmm
I'm beginning to believe these men never embarked on a peace mission. Possibly Bunkering things too

THUNDER4real:
The Nigerian army is overstretched. They will do police work, that’s why they are not respected. What is the military doing there before they were slaughtered. They are just lucky guns are not legalized in Nigeria, as they are coming back to burn down the community, they will be met by more bullets and they will lose more of their officers. The government should send all military men back to barracks.
