Smh.

Ignorance is not bliss o.

We have 22.

Was apc not founded on terrorism?
for the past 10 years apc nutured and supported terrorism.
dont make it look like apc is only about incompetence.
go to canada and say you are an apc or pdp member.

And El Rufai has been a member of the APC from 2015 to 2025.

The fact that he copied the Chairmen of ADC and PDP only is an indication that he is playing to the gallery.

El Rufai has no shame at all. How and where did he reject a Ministerial appointment?

I am not a Catholic or religious but I don't see anything wrong in the law by the archbishop.

Things are going waywardly in the Catholic which those who held the leadership position before couldn't solve.

Let there be reshuffling, if you performed well in your previous position, you might not only be recalled but promoted.

If you are not religious or Catholic, then you are not qualified to comment. Things of the spirit are done spiritually. In every church, you must go through certain training to become a leader. Even the world subject leaders to training talk more of the church.

TonyeBarcanista:
On the Suit Seeking Deregistration of ADC and Four Others



'Tonye Barcanista

I think the suit is not frivolous or an abuse of court process. Let the court determine whether the decamping of the only elected governor, member of the NASS, member of the SHA etc in a particular party will not render the party liable to be deregistered and whether decamping into the party by an elected governor or chairman etc can clothe that political party with the toga of fulfilling that requirement.

Using the weapons manufactured by a particular country doesn't mean support by that country. Iran itself uses some US military equipments. You can buy such weapons from the black market or open source markets.

What she did is criminal. It's Breach of Promise to Marry. If she didn't want to marry him, why didnt she run away before the introduction? I am very sure the pictures of the introduction will show her smiling. Why will sheake him waste his time and resources? After the breakup, she allowed reconciliation so why is she complaining now? Mumu girl.

They should not extend that to non-Muslims.

immortalcrown:
Interlocking is done with line openings for percolation of water.

My only complaint is lack of green areas for plants.

There is a polythene layer before the interlocking, which further prevents the penetration of rainwater. I know that because I have seen hundreds of laying of interlocks. They lay it with the polythene to prevent grass from sprouting up.

mrvitalis:
So what exactly are they intending to gain by telling us this information?

Tinubu control the court na take him to court and convict him

This media trial makes me think it's fake

‎According to Nigeria's National Road Traffic Regulations 2012, the "appropriate authority" empowered to demand the production and inspection of driver's licenses and vehicle documents includes the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO), the Nigerian Police Force, and other designated entities. This covers roadside checks, examinations for compliance, and enforcement actions.
‎
‎FRSC: Primarily handles road safety enforcement, including verifying licenses, vehicle registration, insurance, and roadworthiness during patrols and stops.
‎
‎VIO: Focuses on vehicle roadworthiness inspections, issuing certificates, and verifying related documents, though court rulings have limited their ability to impound vehicles or issue fines on the road in some cases.
‎
‎Police: Can demand and inspect these documents as part of general law enforcement, often in the context of security or crime-related checks, despite some public debate on their routine involvement.
‎
‎The particular provision of the National Road Traffic Regulation 2012 empowering appropriate authorities to inspect motor vehicles and trailers, including demanding and verifying compliance with required documents such as driver's licenses, vehicle licenses, certificates of roadworthiness, and insurance, is Regulation 211 of Nigeria's National Road Traffic Regulations 2012.
‎
‎Here is the full text of the relevant subsections:
‎• Regulation 211(1): "An appropriate authority may inspect any motor vehicle or trailer with a view to ascertaining whether the provisions of the Act, these Regulations, permit or notice issued hereunder are being complied with."
‎
‎• Regulation 211(2): "Where an appropriate authority is satisfied that there is non-compliance... the appropriate authority may prohibit the further use of the vehicle or trailer until there is compliance..."
‎
‎• Regulation 211(3): "An appropriate authority may stop any vehicle to ascertain whether the vehicle or any trailer drawn thereby is used to contravene the provisions... and may detain the vehicle or trailer until the issue... has been resolved."
‎
‎• Regulation 211(4): "Where it appears... the appropriate authority may demand the owner or driver... to produce the vehicle... at a stipulated time and place for inspection... Failure to produce the vehicle is an offence..."
‎
‎"Appropriate authority" is defined in Regulation 231 as including the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Nigerian Police Force, Licensing Authorities, Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO), Director of Federal Public Roads, Director of Engineering in State Ministries of Works, Local Government Supervisory Councillors of Works, and Security Agencies.
‎
‎In practice, FRSC is often seen as the lead agency for such checks, but all others have legal backing under the regulations. If stopped, you must produce originals or photocopies.

Is this talkative senator comparing himself with the President and C-in-C? In US, while Air force One is flying, 3 fighter jets are around it. The president, VP, governors & deputy, CJN, Senate President and Speaker HoR should have police while it should be totally withdrawn for every member of the NASS.

SeverusSnape:
So what?. Did he kill anyone?. Is it a crime to be atheist or gay?
You might feel that it's morally wrong, But it's not a crime.

It's a actually a crime. In Nigeria, it is.

Antwan99:
Is it possible for NDLEA officers to just finger out a sign board (someone who smokes hemp and it's obvious by lips, eyes and foot), then go ahead to carry out a drug test to have proof without the person actually possessing the substance at the time?

Yes, in Nigeria, it is legally and practically possible for NDLEA (National Drug Law Enforcement Agency) officers to stop, detain, and compulsorily test someone for drug use even if the person is not caught in possession of any drug at that moment, as long as the officers have reasonable suspicion that the person has consumed illicit drugs (including cannabis/"hemp".

Here’s how it works under Nigerian law and NDLEA practice:
1. Legal Power to Test Without Possession
Section 44 of the NDLEA Act (Cap N30, Laws of the Federation 2004) gives NDLEA officers the power to demand a urine, blood, saliva, or other body fluid/sample test from any person they reasonably suspect has committed an offence under the Act.

Consumption/use of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances (including Indian hemp/cannabis) without lawful authority is itself a criminal offence under Section 19 of the NDLEA Act and carries up to 15 years imprisonment (or 10–15 years for cannabis-related consumption).

So yes: Being high or showing obvious signs of recent cannabis use is enough for "reasonable suspicion". Officers do not need to find the drug on you.

2. What Counts as "Reasonable Suspicion"?
NDLEA officers routinely use physical signs such as:
Red or glassy eyes
Dark or cracked lips (common among heavy cannabis smokers in Nigeria)
Odor of cannabis
Slurred speech, unsteady gait ("foot" as you called it)

Trembling hands, excessive sweating, etc.
If two or more of these are present, they consider it sufficient grounds to detain and test you. This is very common on Nigerian roads and in neighborhoods.

3. The Testing Process
They usually start with a urine field test (using test kits/strips).
If it shows positive for THC (cannabis metabolite), you are arrested immediately.
They may take you to their office or a hospital for confirmatory blood or more detailed urine test.

The initial positive field test is usually enough to charge you to court, even if you had no single wrap of weed on you.

4. Real-Life Practice
This happens very frequently in Nigeria, especially in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and northern cities. NDLEA and police "anti-narcotics" patrols specifically look for people who "look high" (dark lips + red eyes + smelling of weed is the classic giveaway). Many people have been arrested and charged solely for testing positive in urine, with no physical drug recovered.

Summary
Yes, NDLEA can legally:
1. Stop you based only on physical appearance and behavior ("fingering out a signboard"

2. Compulsorily test you (urine is most common)

3. Arrest and prosecute you for drug consumption if the test is positive even if you have zero wraps of weed or any drug on your body at that moment

So in practice: if your lips are dark, eyes are red, and you’re moving suspiciously, and you’ve smoked within the last 2–30 days (THC stays in urine), you are at real risk of arrest and jail time, whether or not you’re holding anything.

That’s the current reality under Nigerian drug laws.

Chachalogo:
I repeat: If you think Wike will win this ongoing PDP battle, then you do not understand Nigerian politics. Wike's golden era with the APC is coming to a disgraceful end. There is a new Sheriff in town

Who said Wike wants to win anything? He wants the confusion to continue.

LagosOrigin:
No law will hold atiku even if it's true that he gave the young officer SUV

He said he didn't gift out an SUV. Did he mentioned any law?

press9jatv:
The former naval chief will win the battle in the court of justice. Wike goof here

That's not true. The law is sacrosanct that you need title to own and develop any land in the FCT and it's only the FCT minister that can allocate and grant title to lands in Abuja. Vice Admiral AZ Gambo (RTD).show show his title to the land.

magoo10:
you want to engage in beer parlour argument .
Can you give one good reason why despite the lists of terrorism sponsors given to the Nigerian government non has been exposed?

You can sue the Attorney General of the Federation for a Mandamus compelling him to sue the sponsors but I don't see the link with Nnamdi Kanu's trial.

Yes now that's the truth. Even Tinubu himself said it and Lia Mohammed as Minister of Information said it.

Don't ever talk to her alone. Get another female teacher to join you but don't report the student. You may be able to help her out of something deep.

Plateau have funny names and Southern Kaduna too.

Police don't lock male and female detainees in the same cell. 2ndly, you will surrender your shirt so which one did he gave her to sleep with?

It's possible for that amount to be the cost of certification because it's ₦200 per page apart from other payments. I did for one small area in Adamawa State in September 2025 and the payment was ₦54,000 plus.

Safyqueen:
Stop telling lies in the public. You alone cannot rewrite history.
Late Buhari never appoints from his zone Northwest this number of appointees.

Remember Yoruba which is southwest zone is just one-sixth of the country.

But he had 2 Fulanis as INEC chairmen during his tenure.

LordBiden:
Nepotism promax.

Must every sensitive govt. Position be given to the Yorubas only?

Other regions are taking notes.

Professor Amupitan is from the North. Is he Yoruba? Can't remember. He taught me Company Law in Unijos in 2003.

helinues:
Let all tinted car window should be duly registered. It's for safety of everyone

The registration is not the problem.
1. Why do I have to go to their office for biometrics when my car documents and NIN can be verified?

2. Why must I pay 15k online for it? and

3. Why should I pay yearly to renew it?

The police are not a revenue-generating agency of government.

deanoffaculty:
I want to believe this is true.
Elisha Abbo has always been a controversial senator. This will be the 4th rape case(allegedly) against him if I am not mistaken.
Early this year He was invited to BREKETE FAMILY LIVE to defend allegations against him ranging from humiliation of a lady, torture, rape, etc.

Warri proverb say "If you no waka for red oil shop, you cloth no go stain".

This Man has been using money to bury many cases. I guess this one has BOOMERANG!!

Tell us what happened at Berkete Radio? The same lady turned around to apologised to him on national TV and said that he helped her for many years she also asked his wife to forgive her.

Which other rape cases are you talking about? List them or screenshot it.

That Colombian president is a nuthead. How can you go to a foreign land and join a protest in that country against that country and then ask the soldiers to mutiny against the president of that country? That is childish of him. It's a capital offence if someone does that in Colombia.

Basic123:
There is nothing bad with it.

We don't have problems with all these

Our Focus is APC,Tinubu,Nigeria and Lagos

We mooooove

We have a problem with it. I am from Adamawa State.

donmixc:
he shouldn't waste his time, instead he should support Atiku and pave way for an Igbo presidency in future

Which Aiiku? Adamawa suffered under him as vice president.

AntiChristian:
But if we recommend Hijab now they'll say we are stopping women from expressing themselves! Why not let express herself now?

Alhamdulillah for Islam! The Muslim girls that understands what Hijab means are neither nude nor slayingly provocative!

Hijab is not holiness. In Jos, fellow Muslims don't allow women with hijab into their shops because they will steal and hide it under the hijab. I have seen them in hijab with NOTHING under it, no bra, only a wrapper and it's not tied to the chest. I have seen where some guys were having a party in Jos around Gold & Base area, the ladies who were Hausa girls arrived in hijab inside keke napped but before you know it, they all changed into Jezebel. After the party, they changed back to the hijab.
I served for NYSC in 2006-2007 batch at Gwarzo LGA in Kano. Our orientation camp was inside the heart of Kano town precisely Technical College Ungogo, hen the present NYSC Orientation Camp at Karaye LGA was under construction. One particular lady Aisha from Nasarawa state was pious and always in hijab 24/7. She starts in Kano town but comes once a while to Gwarzo and go back. One day she came but couldn't finish in good time and it was evening so she came to my lodge which was within the Sharia Court and she begged to sleep. Hmmm.... What happened ba, can't be explained.
It's good for a lady to dress well but I want to assure you that it's beyond the hijab thing. A woman who dress indecently is general a wayward lady.
