Minority within minority report

Vile human being, preying on the vulnerable. The kind that will steal his brother's property given a chance.
However, a worrying trend in the US ; caregivers being accused of sexual assault, esp of those in vegetative or semi-vegetative states, unable to consent. Like that other knee-grow that impregnated that comatose girl in Florida ?

Btw, Look at their desperate faces, their ages and their ethnicities. Just saying....

Speculative report but I'm not surprised. Arsenal fan here.
Trying to know what the real position is is like trying to see the whole room through a keyhole.
The only part of the team remaining that Arteta has no hand in is the forward line. The rest of the team is the creature of Arteta and Edu. And the forward line hitherto has been bailing Arsenal out.
This season is different. Auba likes the ball played into the 6yrd box or the back post. After the disaster that was the Willan signing, we now have a midfield that can score of Odeegard, SR and Saka. They tend to cut the ball back to the penalty spot, a position Auba does not run into, hence his goal drought; add poor form/lack of confidence and you see the result. By contrast, it's the spot that Laca likes to run into, as does Martinelli. And once you're on the naughty step with Arteta, well......Pepe is in the same situation; Not an Arteta buy and playing in a manner that is not to the attacking Midfield strengths.

And we have Nigerians flocking to Dubai flashing petty cash to compete with this kind of luxury lifestyle ? No wonder civil servant and politicians want to steal the entire treasury

Turkey trying to embarrass the US.
Both are allies; Only nominally now bc of Sultan Tayyip, who is re-imagining an Ottoman Empire. Turks in Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, training with UAE, Qataris etc. All started during Obama yrs and accelerated under Trump.
US troops report being shelled by Turkish artillery in Syria days.
He pulled similar extortion stunt with Saudis re Jamal Kashogghi murder. Made a lot of noise. The case has memory holed, Sultan and associates handsomely rewarded with MBS money. Collateral damage to him politically none.
Worst that can happen is diplomat declared PNG and deported.

This govt's cluelessness knows no bounds. How is this in line with idea of building local capacity ?
Fire trucks are modular vehicles.
The military are boasting of locally manufactured APCs and MRAPs made from modular platforms. Yet here is the chief fire man on a publicised junket to Dubai to be photographed inspecting 15 cab type vehicles?
15 ? For a nation of 200M+ ?
I recall that a local company from the SW made a presentation of a modular fire truck to GEJ way back. What happened to that initiative ?
Pigmy of Africa syndrome strikes us once again.

i saw him and his daughter shopping on sloane st once. i recognised him immediately (i'm an arsenal fan ) but had no idea who the young lady by his side was.
I said to myself, chai Mou, with all dis paparazzi is moving with sidechick in broad daylight and married ? Scandal loading....
It was later I asked the security of the store they came out frm who the chick was, he told me that's his daughter.
Pictures don't do her justice. She's prettier in the flesh

You could compile an hour long bloopers video of Aubameyang's misses this season alone.
He's been beyond poor and Laca and Martinelli should have replaced him prior to the Everton game.
We're still a very fragile team mentally, and carrying ppl who swan around and don't take their chances doesn't help the self confidence.
Two worst players on the team are Partey and Auba. Partey gives the ball away consistently and Auba can't score to save.....anything

Is she not the daughter of Late Godwin Daboh, the infamous influence peddler and blackmailer ?
The man married the name and the prospect and that, not forthcoming, started to beat her, esp after a lick of the bottle. Her political "aides" decided to retaliate.
Btw, the husband's legal team are complaining that she transferred money into his account as constituting harassment ? 5k and 50k ? He looks like the kind that would be grateful for it

Secondus PDP was the worst NWC constituted. Wike was warned that having an errand boy as Chairman wouldn't work. He still insisted, only to fall out bitterly with his protégé.
Secondus NWC was a serial election loser, venal, poorly organised, bereft of ideas and oversaw the biggest gubernatorial defections in the party's history.
They came in using the old and tires PDP slogans, jingles and persuasions, not realising that ppls expectations have changed.
They were so poor, they have failed to capitalise on the abject leadership of APC.
Mr. Ologbodiyan is trying to rewrite history to absolve his sorrowful performance. Did this shower of a group look for one minute like a govt in waiting ?

Wike bribing fellow governors with cash and overseas trip to ensure emergence of governors as PDP presidential candidates. He learnt his lesson from the last presidential primaries when Atiku and Obi emerged despite his splurging of Rivers money on Tambuwal et al.
The trip allows for strategising without scrutiny and ppl like Ortom and Ikpeazu are looking for retirement money so are easily paid off.

asanausana91:
aboki is not greedy like you people that is why they can do any job even the pay is not much. Most of your people said godforbid for them to join the police, now that he reaches this stage you people begin to envy him.
I know many Igbo boys that ran away at the beginning of their Carrier in the military because of meager salary. The aboki will endure and grow through the ranks up to a general rank and you people that ran away when the going was tough will start talking rubbish.
Most of your people are greedy and they don't have the patient of waiting. They want Sharp Sharp money, that is why they are into drugs, cyber crime and all the criminal way of making money.

Absolute nonsense. Greed and patience so that you are pensioned off after morning Mosque and your Islamic Studies junior is promoted ?
The biggest disincentive of ppl working in govt is this "northernised highway promotion system ", aka quota system; to embarrass your explanation even further, Look at the list of delegates that accompanied the AIG and tell us there is no agenda ;
In global positions that require proven competence and not pre-loaded selection, you will not find Northerners.
Look at the middle management of most MDAs.
A disproportionate number of Northerners are represented yet the North trails most Southern states in graduates, professionally qualified vocations etc.
But some comic prejudices about greed is your logical explanation. I'm assuming it was community altruism that motivated Abba Kyari to "struggle" to his super cop status, abi ?

25 million to be employed
Doing his best on security
One Nigeria is most viable option

Did I miss something ?

Pastor as President will be worse than Buhari bc he is spineless. You will get nice speeches tho.
And politically he is a co-signer to the dullard's policies, ie, failure, insecurity, economic collapse.

I would like to know how many flu or malaria variants there are and how their lethality compares ? Every Yr flu shots are given. Are the shots new or same as previous yrs ?
It was inevitable that a highly mutable virus will evade current vaccines. My fear is that the virus acquires genes of more fatal viral/bacterial genomes (antigenic drift, recombination etc) and bodies start piling up.

At every attempt to generate momentum to create Apa State, the habitual saboteurs are/were Igedes.
The OP's/Igedes new complaint is that they have not had an opportunity to field a senator or Minister. Ho hum.
Everything is localised to their tiny identity, when the bigger picture is Tiv political hegemony to the detriment of the state collectively and the zone in total. Ortom may be the one, despite his horror of a tenure, to break that "northern" aligned Tiv political agenda. Who knows ? This may create an opportunity for a minority governor. Igedes have nothing to say on that matter. They will argue about the colour of the floor tiles of a house that hasn't been built yet.
If you ask them if they are not Idoma, how they became paramount chief of Idoma, all sorts of meaningless justifications reflexively roll out, like they're congenitally instructed in their "victimhood". They contribute nothing but rancourous dialogue to any argument. This been a typical exhibit.
The OP sez they are closer to the ppl of CRS, yet you see not a single CRS indigene advocate for Igede anything. Perhaps if they subsumed their victimhood into the bigger questions of the day, their opinions will carry more weight.

Immediately I read the Marwa quote about cannabis having no medicinal value, I knew he was completely out of touch.
It also goes to explain how vigorous his Chairmanship has been; He's using NDLEA as campaign publicity for governorship.
They say Atiku is not Nigerian. What of Marwa ?

Hope misled him.

Dis man can talk lingo big time.
Very skilled in using the latest buzz words to lure you into a false sense of believing he knows the subject.
Nicknamed "monte-carlo" by his NDA peers after a cheap 1970s tube cigar. Always shirked any hard graft, slept through Bush exercises etc and liked the Mess more than the parade ground.
Spectacularly inept. The President of France, his host, stands on the threshold, custodian of the keys to nuclear weapons. Monguno stands alongside, iphone 13 Pro Max in hand. Tells you everything about the level of gravity each person holds their jobs.

Malami believes ppl are ignorant of how Northern patronage really works; Just hang out at the Malami family home in Kebbi, join his convoy, ingratiate urself with his staff, procure marabouts/Niger/Shuwa babes and soon enuf, you're Min of Justice staff. Next you'll be serving warrants.
Buhari's driver is caught up in contracting mess; Aisha's ADC is involved with missing money bags. Malami thinks he's above these two ?
The man is a truly leporous character, hiding behind legal reinforcement to coerce, intimidate and steal.
He's always quick to point out admin procedural flaws as showing ulterior motive but never does anything to ensure it won't happen again down the line.
God has a sense of humour. If Kyari had lived, he and Malami would have exposed and doomed Nigeria as a singular entity. Yet, we twist in agony with primative ppl like Malami still in charge.

Economists ?
That said China should be the world's factory ?
That said globalisation would benefit everybody ?
That say trickle down works ?
That 9 on a panel cannot agree on policy ?
We should stop this reliance on titles as some indicator of competence. Wasn't Chimaroke Nnamani a doctor ? The Suswams and Co will be parading LLM from Uni Abuja to qualify as AGF next.

Forget his credentials, as lofty as they are. He has to combine intellect with local sense to achieve real impact. Who knows what he has inherited from Obiano ?

I wish him and the ppl of Anambra well. We need more success stories than failures to turn this country around.

i thot she was at Har-vad, abi Haz-ard, abi some super higher tertiary place overseas, like cuppy ?
Dis is what she learnt ?

Osinbajo was celebrating Nigerian youth the other day ; i noticed he didn't give His Excellency, The Executive Governor of Kogi State any mention in his upbeat assessment of the state of the nation. Is Yahaya Bello not a yoot ?

20 million employed man again in some myticial time frame ? Abi is it 100 million he promised ? Amenable won't cut it when the future of the nation as constituted rests on a knife-edge.

Like I've said b4, let him contest and defend his record as the deputy for the most divisive president in Nigeria's history.

Bc Benue needs a woman to handle the Fulani conquest attempts of Agatu and Gwer local governments abi ?
Clout chasing on the back of your son's notoriety isn't enough to dissuade those trying to usurp your ancestral lands. She'd be worst than a mistake.

All this indicates is that this govt holds Nigeria's and the entirety of the Nigeria Police Forces' reputation internationally as being lower than the reputation of Abba Kyari.
They would rather risk our relations with a leading global power than allow Abba Kyari go defend himself.

Or, how "Only me can fix Nigeria", Lesson 247 by Nasir El'Rufai.
Mallam is always propounding the most extreme policies ; from sacking half of the national civil service, to complete divestment of the state from all profit making areas of the economy to firing the entire police force and subsequently rehiring them based on an examination ; all these can work in a lab situation, not in the real world.
Even this hypothesis is badly flawed.
Having business elites being more synergistic with politicians is a recipe for disaster, esp in a democracy with weak judicial institutions. Dangotr and his various subsidiaries baleful influence on govt policy is already costing Nigerians uncountable amounts.
Hasn't it being the anti-elitist sentiment that has caused Brexit, and brought so-called "populists" like Trump and Bolsanaro to power ? It's this opaque relationship between big business and politicians that has seen a desire for proto-fascist leadership and violent political sectarianism in the West.
Nigerians already feel disenfranchised and Mallam's solution is to bring into the equation ppl who's only interest would be the bottom line ?
It's precisely bc Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were perceived as doing the bidding of the banksters that their policies were deemed out of touch.
In a developing nation his prescription would be a disaster.
Rather, it's the exact opposite; strong regulatory institutions with fewer recurrent expend civil servants running them.

Forget the Sputnik BS headline ; system tested was a HGV (hyper glide vehicle) + a FOBS. As for generals playing this stuff up, you realize they are wanting hundreds of billions $ for totally overhauling the nuclear arsenal (Trump policy btw- more money for the Military Industrial Complex) as well as missile defense, etc. It’s a money game, part of the strategy, this is a good opportunity in the public domain to play that up. There are however more relevant
That is not the only driver at all, but taking advantage of hot stories in the public domain that sound strategically alarming to help make the case for funding is classic Pentagon procurement public strategy.
This is all part of a much larger arms race going on with many facets, many of which are more operationally relevant (drones, 5th gen aircraft, squad level networking, ISR platforms, A2/AD strategy etc)

I knew Shehu's rejoinder wouldn't be fit for wrapping suya by the last blowhard assertion alone ; increased electoral majority ?
Everyone knows Buhari lost that election, hands down but for Yakubu @ INEC (and predecessor and fellow inhabitant of the lowest circle of hell, Jega).

Buhari was marketed as a subject matter expert, who would restore security and sanity to the excesses of GEJ's administration, from insecurity to corruption.
Not only are we WORSE-so bad that foreign publications are asking whether we are a failed state, UNDER a former military General no less- but our ECONOMY has similarly collapsed. 1983/1984 back to the future type scenario.
Things are now so bad that all discussion is about how, and not IF, the country partitions.

I pity the next President......

I'm not here to defend NA, but The Economist's editorials are part of a broader propaganda front in recent weeks attacking the Nigerian security agencies. Anotger example was the WSJ report about Dshks being bought back by FGN bc of fears that they may be used in an anti-aircraft role (good luck with that).
So what does the Economist say about Afghanistan ?
The combined strength of NATO (20+ countries) lost- to Afghan farmers.
Think about that

Osinbajo will need more than a PhD to defend this shower of an administration he was a part of.
Tinubu can quite rightly claim he was frozen out. What's Osinbajo's excuse ?

Somali immigrants are bringing Mogadishu to Gothenborg and Stockholm.
And bc of their adherence to human rights, they can't deport the n'er'do'wells back to their sewers in Puntaland.
This in turn fuels the rise of right wing populism in nominally progressive social leaning countries.
Swedish healthcare is a mess, crime has created no-go areas with police legally unable to act, abuse of the social welfare system by Somalis rife.
Receipe for disaster.

Presidential candidate
