Sad...there is discipline, and there is torture.

Well

1We fix the railways
2.We stop the Sahara from encroaching
3.We enforce ranching
4.Better land management practice
5.Better border control
6.Law enforcement does its job.

Alezy:
u know nothing about Nigerian military systems and promotion syndrome n problems. U won't say this.

Yeah, yeah...have got the memo...

Meanwhile...Northerners and Southerners are dying on the field against a dangerous enemy. I hail their efforts, and thank them.

DrGoodman:
Another southerner.

Lots of Northerners and Southerners have died protecting this country from Boko.

Cut the bigotry out please.

Cult at 14-16?

And after, all them cultists will be struggling in life 20 years from now......

ItsMeAboki:
This could be reprisal attacks, initiated by the local natives after they started waylaying innocent Fulani travellers on the highways and fishing them out of vehicles and killing them on the spot - hope all those responsible for this new round of violence would be caught and prosecuted.

Got a source for that?

(I'm serious).

Doesn't make this round of violence right. If the Fulani feel aggrieved...report to the police. Don;t take the law into your hands.

Same for the other guys.

OK darling, you've had your 15 minutes of fame, now go and get a real job.

In thrity years, when those things begin to sag...na then you go know that vanity upon vanity= vanity....

otipoju:
Driving a car without insurance in USA could land you in jail

Word.

It is supposed to be the same in Nigeria...but sigh....

Juliusmalema:
thank God u said Google and not from Inec data..

so is false and unverifiable.

You really don't want to face the facts, don't you.

OK....here is INEC result sheet....

Come, now, it isn't damaging to you to admit you were wrong. That is life. I have been corrected on this forum myself many times, and all that got damaged was my pride.

One more thing, I don't know why you don't like Middle Belters. But in this case, they did vote for your candidate.So, why the hate? They are not Hausas.

Me, I am not inclined to hate people, because my hating them means that I have allowed them to have power over me.

Better wake up. This life is too insignificant.

Celestyn8213:
And my neighbour gave birth this morning. Irony of life.

Life must go on.....

I work in a hospital. In one ward, someone is dying from an illness, while in the labour ward, babies are being born.

That's life.

Live healthy, eat healthy, and you may live long and well.

silastemplar:
Sad.but why do some people live for this kind of news. I see the same set of people claiming over 200 were killed. Every death is painful but why politicise this. These killings have to be tackled more severely by the government but if we the people have decided to be wicked the government can only do so much. It's a collective thing but let's realise that what ever comments we make on social media could either help or worsen the situation.

One of the big problems with democracy is that everything is fair game.

So,for example, government official loses his temper over a trivial matter......the ruling party is a fraud.

In Nigeria, this manifests as politicising even the dead. When GEJ was in power....lots of his opponents used the boko and even the cattle herder issues (yes they happened back then, and even long before GEJ or Bubu thought about Aso Villa)...to make the(GEJ) government look bad. Same thing is happening now with Buhari....the herdsmen crisis and even Boko Haram are used as ways of making him look bad

And government supporters give as good as they get (see how GEJites blamed Buhari for being the head of Boko Haram,and for the Chibok 'scam', while Buharists blamed GEJ supporters for deliberately stoking up the killings to make their man look bad).

Add the fact that people are scared, plus decades of bad blood, plus the fact that Nigerians are worried that the sharing of the kudi wont get to them...and you have an anarchic situation developing.

Maybe we should have not gone back to democratic rule....but remaining under Army rule, or one man dictatroship won't solve the underlying problems...and that is the failure of governance at the local, rural level, the failure of strategic infrastructure like railways, and the effect of climate change.

(Modified: I still beleive that democracy is far better than any form of governance, and that if people had done their jobs all these years, Nigeria would have been much better.)

Juliusmalema:
oga they didn't and deserve no sympathy.

2015 result for Plateau

Buhari: 429,140
Jonathan: 549,615

Jonathan won Plateau.

Results via Google.

kolaish:
ALL THESE KILLINGS ARE JUST REHARSALS OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN MANY STATES IN NIGERIA, IF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS VOTED AGAIN INTO POWER NEXT YEAR. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

DISCLOSURE: I AM NOT A SUPPORTER OF APC/PDP, BUT SOMEONE WHO CRAVES FOR A BETTER NIGERIA, IN WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AND MY CHILDREN WILL HAPPILY LIVE IN PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

The same things happened under PDP, they happen under APC...because over the years, government agencies refused to do their work...back when these disputes were isolated things.

Add the collapse of infrastructure likerailways, the overgrowing population and the effect of climate change...and you see the problem.

Thing is, we should expect the people in Aso villa and the people in the villages and the herdsmen community to do their jobs...not to play with fire.

soberdrunk:
Cholera still killing people in Nigeria in 2018?

Bad public water supply, simple.

Juliusmalema:
the explanation is non of my business....


they didn't vote...that's alll

nothing like largely abeg

PDP won in Plateau at the presidential level in 2015... either you beleive it or you don't.

So, stop pretneding they didn't

zombieHUNTER:
Curfew cannot solve it


Resisting Buhari and the APC is the only way to go

Plateau has been in crisis long before Bubu took over.

The problem has plenty to do with land crisis, the failure of the railways (which offered alternative to transport cattle) and the fact that wandering around with your cows no longer works.

Am all for voting out APC....but PDP had no answer to the same crisis when they were in power. And they have no answer now.

slimfit1:
The IG still has a job with all these lives lost. Buhari's agenda is to take territory for Islam. If it was muslims that where being killed it would have ended time ago.

As it ended in Zamfara and Borno.....

Juliusmalema:
am just singing my hymns for them as a good anglican

Fading away like the stars of the morning...

I didn't vote buhari....they did..

Plateau voted for PDP in the last presidential election....by a margin of over 100000 votes.

It was in the election for governor that APC won...largely because PDP was disorganised at the local level, and also largely because the APC candidiate was from a part of Plateau that had never produced a governor before.

And don't be a bigot.

Hmmm

In Nigeria every car owner is supposed to have third party insurance. So that in case an accident like this happens, you exchange your insurance information with the other party and the insurance company pays up for the mess

(Ideal example... there was a three way colision in a certain American city involving Brad Pitt the actor. All three men incolved, got out of their cars, exchanged insurance infromation, and that was that).

In Nigeria,
1. Most car owners don't carry insurance
2.Most car owners don't expect sufficeint payout from the insurance company

So, an anarchic situation, where might is right results.

In 2002...many French players were playing in European top teams...and naturally were exhausted from too much footy.(ok..na excuse...but some merit in it ). Plus some key players were injured.

Italy 2010....they had lost several of their 2006 players to retirement...and the new guys were not up to sctatch.

Spain..same thing in 2014.

Now let'sgo back

Germany 1990 winners, 1994...quarterfinals.
Argentina 1986 winners, 1990...second place.

F- Football
I- Is not
F- For
A- African

In 2002, the Belgians were the worst team in Europe. They completely were a nonentity in the world cup, and they perfromed awfully when they hosted the Euro 2000 (with the Dutch).

The Belgian FA sat down and thought about how to improve their football...and the answer was simple

1.Teach kids how to play a passing game
2.Ensure that every youth coach gets a UEFA B licence.

Nowadays, Belgium is a force to be reckoned with. They reached the quarters of the 2014 WC, and have won both their games in this world cup.

Why this story....Because in Africa, we are not interested in developing our football...we just want to win tournaments. That's not how it works.

Because we want to win, we go and do things like overaged players, players lying about their age at youth level...and at the same time we refuse to invest in local clubs, local facilities. We even don't invest in the training of youth coaches.

FIFA...Havelange and Blatter were both corrupt. But these two men tried their best for Africa. Havelange tried with the U17 and U21 cups...which we messed up by sending overaged players , expecially in the 1980's. Blatter even released some of FIFA's largesse for the Goal project...which was chopped by many African FA chaps...and even some non-Africans. (Jack Warner of T and t infamously used his to build some 'facilities' that had nothing to do with footballers...).

We better change our mentality. Me, I hope we lose to Argentina and go out. Not because I am a bad Nigerian ,but because if we win, and we reach the semis...we will keep on thinking that everything is ok. When it isn't.

An African team can win the World Cup...but it starts with changing our attitude. Developing football..instead of trying to win.

Organism000:
First of the many steps to come by the Deep State to move in their terrorists agents and take over Zimbabwe, and blame it on Mugabe, a complemetary attempt to nail his ghost while making money through security budget.

Any issues Mugabe is facing were selfinflicted...

1.You allow your wife to move against a vice president who was not only one of your main guys in the millitary, but STILL has connections to the high ranking Army rank and file...of COURSE...selfpreservation strikes.

2.40 years in power, and your economy is still dependent on exporting stuff whose prices you cannot control. Meanwhile....China, Japan and Korea woke up ages ago...and based their economies on innovation and industries. As one African king some 300 years ago said...he who makes the gunpowder wins the war. (And Zim has or had a very good education system).

3.Is Mugabe the only one? Must we be dependent on one leader.?

Abeg where those children climbing down the stairs in Planta advert singing **mummy loves the Planta taste, Planta


Indomie children back off, you are Jon Snows here.

Planta was a good margarine brand...wonder why they stopped making it in Nigeria?

Blue band doesn't even taste like Blue band these days....

Before the kids there was..

With that good rich taste, rich creamy planta with that slight buttery taste for you!

Drienzia:
Nobody holy. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

zinizta:
i don't like the way you put it though cause in the end we no holy pass too... but my point being it is better to fess up and confront your inadequacies than blame everyone else - your parents, your country, your race...

in this part of the world we keep using other people's failings as an excuse to justify our own vices

So, all of us saying that wrong is worng are hypocrites eh?

Look chums, the yahoo guy is despicable. Yes , he should not have been killed....but he is still a bad person who has stolen other people's money via deception.

I know no one is perfect, but the fact that we are not perfect doesnot mean we should keep quiet when wrong is done.

Or maybe I should come and defraud you of your money....hope you would forgive me, since nobody is perfect, and since those who would call me a bad guy are just doing so to feel holy.

Don't justify bad things. We are suffering in this country because people for decades have been justifying bad things.

PurplePatch:
All the characters in this story are morally bankrupt if not they'd not be in the news for the wrong reasons. Yahoo boy, girlfriend and the useless idiotic waste of sperm up there, are all foolish.

That's the sad truth about the story...the murder victim probabaly would have been arrested by EFCC within a few years, if it had not been for this happening.

zombieHUNTER:
It's propaganda brother
For you to ask this question...

Shows your mind dey there

Propaganda for what exactly?

Nigeria police may be very backward, but that does not mean they don't get it right sometimes.

Propaganda for what? To get Buhari back into Aso Rock.? Like Police was not solving crime before Bubu thought about Aso villa. To make everyone forget that there are still bad eggs in the force? Yeah, right.

SARS did not kill that guy and his girl. A group of jealous parasities did. (And before you start, I have treated victims of SARS, so I know how far).

OK, let us hope that APC has an agenda for 2019 which involves diversification of the economy.

Apart from just crowning you know who.

Legitimate money better pass illegitimate money

OK, 2 nil.

Argentina here we come

OK. We scored.
One more

These boys are as useless as our politicians. Only prayer and photo. Idiots

We don't have a Good good enough structure.

(Yes, we won two U17 trophies in the last 6 years, but then, the guys go back to their backward clubs)
