You go try it on the thing go come tear for armpit. Na dat time we go come dey hear say Ade o gun.

The champagne store dey along a row of no-price-tag stores. I be wan enter cos some wrist watches dey shine inside even though i don already code say na ritualist money dem dey bill. As i turned to enter the store na him i see the fully dressed waiter with tray of champagne glasses, mehn i change direction like Formula One car.

One thing i noticed about those stores is that whenever you see a crowd of people inside, they are usually Chinese. Some kind of heavy liquid money dey inside that China wey people no recognize. Na dem dey buy all the expensive real estate as well thereby raising price level and pushing it out of the range of mere mortals.

As in ehn...

Ngige was attacked!

Just when we want all Policemen to keep Nigeria safe, we start hearing all these funny/troubling headlines

https://www.nairaland.com/8570591/ngiges-convoy-attacked-anambra

While it's a no-brainer that these guys should be able to get private security and let everybody rest from this drama they're acting, when you consider how many persons they use their influence as politicians to provide private security for (within their family alone o), you'd start to see why they'd be oppossed to it, certainly not with how insecure the country has become.

Poor man pikin dey see something sha

Look at Europe that do not share a border with a cartel run country like the US. Check the safest countries in Europe and check their laws on gun ownership you will realize most of them allow gun ownership and they are still safe

There are only three countries in the world with constitutional gun rights... US, Mexico and Guatemala. The US and Mexico are in the top three for gun-related deaths, and per-capita Guatemala is number three.

These countries in Europe where people can get guns, it's not a right, there's very serious licensing and background checks required before they can get guns... And it's usually for specific purposes (hunting, sports shooting and work-related purposes, almost never for self-defense).

Can the Nigerian government pass its citizens through this level of rigour before they grant people gun licenses, or any crase person fit enter shop buy gun like gala?

Countries with way less resources than Nigeria are able to provide policing and basic security, it's not as hard to hack as you're making it look, especially when the government is serious about it.

BlueRayDick:
Talking about Nigerian healthcare system, only God will save the common man from misdiagnosis and inadequate healthcare facility.

I have a relative who has been battling ulcer and spike in Sugar level for the past 4 to 5 years. She was advised on what to eat and what not to eat in order to manage her health condition while she was also placed on some drugs.

So, she relocated to the US last year December and after she got there, she still had reasons to be in and out of the hospital. A couple of months ago the doctors in the US made her undergo CT scan and they were surprised she never had ulcer which she has been treating from Nigeria.

The CT scan revealed she has Cyst in her pancreas and that all the symptoms she's been having that made Nigerian doctors diagnose ulcer was actually as a result of the cyst in her pancreas. When I heard this last night, I was really scared. I wonder how many people would've died from such misdiagnosis in this country.

@ Afrodoc , kingtom and other medical personnel in the house, is there anything one can do in this Nigeria to avoid such misdiagnosis that may put one's health in jeopardy?

Wow...no surprises sha. Na God dey help person for this country.

Which ban?

FG don recant o, they said tbey have not banned open grazing 🤦‍♂️

I Don collect my kudos back from Tinubu's government until they do the needful 🙅‍♂️

Lol, I respond to your post finish I see this one...there was a reason I put hopefully, cause I bin listen to radio this morning, and I didn't hear it as topic for discussion, know it'd def have come up if it was real.

Tinubu lacks the political will to do the needful, I pour am spit.

BlueRayDick:
Why is it that no northern governor has broach the idea of establishing ranches? Even Buhari who was the president from the north where they at mostly herders, he never thought of this excrog supporting the crude idea of open grazing?

Because herding was a means to an end for them...hopefully this ban on open grazing is real, I'm sure average citizens would take enforcement personally sef.

We obviously have a policing issue that needs to be addressed. We have the resources to address the deficit in officers and weapons. We need to totally revamp our security systems/ structure. This restructuring can be done in phases. Arming citizens is not going to work.

Exactly, giving citizens guns would create its own problems, in avoiding a problem that most countries of the world have sorted, we shouldn't end up creating another that'd be even harder to manage.

raumdeuter:
What we are seeing in Nigeria is already chaos especially in the North and middle belt but the only thing is that the criminals have unrestricted access I will even say Govt approved ammunition but the civilians are the ones disarmed. (Like Xmas chicken waiting for their turn)

Bandits will come to a village, spend 3hours killing and march almost 300 people into the bush unchallenged

The criminals currently have a monopoly of arms and decide where to attack. If bandit do a broadcast and say we are going to this village tomorrow and give them a pre warning, there is nothing they can do but to wait for their fate

The only way you escape harm is if the criminals become born again or have mercy on you. Like the bandits in Eruku that heard the sweet voice of Bayo Onanuga and released their victims

Waiting for police is a waste of time. cos the attacks are happening in like 100 places concurrently

Assuming we were in the pre-APC years of relative safety, or more conservatively, the OBJ years, would you still be pushing for everyone to have their guns? Especially knowing that the situation in the US is an exception, and not the norm...

Anything emergency, or sickness wey dey slightly serious for this country, it's essentially a coin toss.

Had a friend lose his brother earlier in the year, a promising young doctor (diagnosis was an autoimmune response, probably an allergy)... massive loss for his family.

donjazzet:
He's really gone

Sorry for your loss.

BlueRayDick:
Something wey be say dem dey rent police like say person hire bouncers nowadays.

Just wait till next one or two weeks, U will start seeing I-just-Got-Back guys going everywhere with one or two gun-wielding Mopols which they paid for.

My fear is while the president and IGP keep giving this order to withdraw Policemen from doing these unofficial police work; there are some ogas within the police force who make cool money from posting those policemen for such duties.

If the IGP is not ready to dig down to find out his subordinate senior officers who arrange some of these things, nothing will really change

Lol, Tinubu couldn't have picked a worse time for his instructions to be flouted, if e know e for talk am like middle of year, at least dem for give am like 3 months of obidience.

is a failure of governance at multiple levels.

TrebleChamp:
The VIPs in this case are senior Govt Officials, NSCDC officers can do the job of protecting them while police do their job of fighting crime...

Lol, if na dawan we for no dey complain na, it's your random pablos and Asaba/Nollywood actresses that can have up to 3 police men in their convoy that's causing the complaints.

GloriousGbola:
The posts were made way before he became ceo. No be today people dey 'grow'.ie I was young and foolish and I have grown since then.

And there was nothing to match the posts to his actual behavior in real life

Yea, and from the email exchanges between him and his scorned ex, he seems like a decent fellow.

GloriousGbola:
We are still saying the same thing.

If he had not knacked the allegedly not hit and Def toxic borrow borrow 'feminist' none of this would have happened in the first place.

Anyways he may make out with a settlement going by the topic on FP. Man is likely going to sue.

It was a matter of time before he got stung by one of them sha, his entire crowd consisted of feminist men-haters.

GloriousGbola:
From all the comments on this matter, the guy was fired over chick who is not even a baddie and was likely a log of wood in the oza room

If you are going to do something that may get you into serious trouble then ensure you thoroughly enjoy the act and maximize your satisfaction.

The guy lost his job because he knacked a so-so toxic faker naija twitter 'feminist' whose made up aversion to male members vanished for the Benjamins waved open sesame

The guy will probably be fine. Likely start up another tech company.

The feminist chick said Ezra was having sex with an employee of Paystack (who they both fvcked BTW ), seems that was what got him fired.

When Gumi says Bandits are different from IPOB, he's right. Bandits are also quite different from Boko Haram, ISWAP, ANSARU and the likes, because while IPOB, Boko Haram, ISWAP and the likes operate with some form of ideology, bandits are in it solely for financial gains.

The designation of criminal elements with monikers has become a way for the police to avoid the job of resolving simple acts of crime. Normal criminals that are kidnapping and robbing people, they'd give them one special name...Bandits or Unknown Gun Men to make it look bigger than it actually is and eventually it does.

This is the same reason why all sort of criminals in the South East get easy pass for crimes hiding under IPOB (there's been instances where they've denied involvement in the crimes of kidnapping and robbery in the South East). So while members from IPOB might also be committing crimes, there's also several persons that commit crimes on their own, but it gets attributed to IPOB...intelligence gathering is a huge part of the fight against crime, and it's clear that there's very little intelligence involved in Nigeria's approach to crime.

monerozi5590:
He doesn't have any goodness of heart. He might be benefiting, we might not know. This is a good case if FG can prove that and got him arrested but unfortunately FG are also negotiating with them. So FG are to be blamed

Exactly, nature abhors a vacuum. The government has failed to provide security to people, they've also failed to handle kidnap cases, leaving victims to their fate...what's then left is for people like Gumi, leveraging his experience as ex-force and influence within the criminal underworld, to provide a strange solution to the kidnapping problem.

With or without Gumi, as long as government fails to do their job of providing security, these bandits (kidnappers and murders) would still find a way to wreck havoc.

izzou:
Some do...

Na big business idea oh.

Better one, and that's why I don't see police not inserting themselves into it, cause na steady gig e be.

TrebleChamp:
This is a good move by the Government if it is followed through, i said this a while back that NSCDC officers should be solely responsible for protecting VIPs, while the Police face their primary duty of fighting crime.

If VIPs need security, they should employ private security...NSCDC was not setup to provide protection to VIPs.

monerozi5590:
The double standard. Is good you are calling out Gumi almost everyday for saying nonsense which I also believe he is saying nonsense. I don't take him serious.

But also called out the person you supported to become president for saying IPOB are not terrorists and FG should not use force.

Always balance your views. The other day you rushed here to post a news saying Igbo man's shop was taken away in the North because he is Igbo.

We didn't see you post anything when another Igbo man cried out in Lagos that his shop was the only one destroyed because he is Igbo.

The other day you said you don't really know what's happening in South South states like that Destroyy has a better understanding than you because he stays in the South South but you have more knowledge about North than me that stays in the North about Northern states.

It's well known that Gumi acts as a middleman between the families of kidnap victims and the bandits...do you believe that Gumi benefits from the criminal acts of these bandits, or he's doing what he does simply out of the goodness of his heart?

This is my first time of watching this man video and couldn't complete it, why didn't they arrest this fvcker

And what would they say he's being charged with?

The only thing I think he could be charged with is collaboration with criminals, but he's already said he does what he does with "approval", so that's a closed door.

It's near impossible to prove incitement with the things he says. Annoying, evil and silly...but not necessarily incitement.

GloriousGbola:
The man is for all intents and purposes providing comfort and aid to the enemy

His intentions are clear enough to anyone with a lick of sense, but it's obvious he's being careful, that's why I said it'd be difficult to pursue any persecution simply based off his utterances in the media.

And apparently he's been in the thick of terrorism since the Obasanjo years..

I am fairly certain wole soyinka was jailed for less.

This country is at war and the time for treating terrorist combatants with kid gloves is long gone

It says a lot about gumis loyalties that he has more sympathy for terrorists than his former comrades in arms.

I thought the military was supposed to be a brotherhood - sempre fi and all that

Instead we have retired soldier stanning for the enemies of this nation.

Was Wole Soyinka jailed under a democratic government?

I share your sentiments on the man, but I don't think he's done enough for a case to be built around, that's if we're going by what's publicly known.
