😂 we spoke about this shit some days ago, if China wants to hit the US, they should just cripple their cellphones and computers production lines

Exactly... They'll start with that since there's no Made-in-US iPhone. The man in the Oval Office might mistakenly shoot himself in the leg with that tarrif.

Lagos as Economic Capital
Rivers as Administrative Capital
FCT as Seat of Government

All your actions are illegal. Pray you don't end up in jail Mr sole administrator

Don't you know that everything is wrong with Nigeria's Constitution? Politician in every party weaponize it to suit their needs. Never talk about illegal and legal as regards constitution in Nigeria. If you're familiar about governance and current affairs. Lay your hands on one of it and flip through the pages, you'll understand better. Governors are scared to implement the Supreme Court Judgement on Local government autonomy. Infact, they're frustrating it. Nigeria is gone. It's even on autopilot if you don't know.
Another example is, The minister of power, Adebayo Adelabu, says the the purchase of transformers, electricity poles or power cables amongst others is the responsibility of power distribution companies (DISCOs) and not power consumers resident in communities. So almost everything in Nigeria is illegal.

Another question is, is Ndume representing his constituency well and not just lip service? Most of these lawmakers don't commit their constituency funds to a better use. For example, maybe by donating one or two vehicles to the Nigeria Police Force since it's really clear that our police force is underfunded. Another instance is helping with relief materials to victims of natural disasters in their areas.

Buhari is overrated
Someone who couldn't win the presidency after contesting for more than thrice until Tinubu came to his rescue
The same man who couldn't stop Tinubu when he was in power
Is it now that he is out of power and Tinubu is in power that he can now unseat him
How?
You people joke too much
I know buhari will not over rate himself the way some people are trying to
He knows the power of incumbency, he is been there before

Real talk! Buhari isn't a politician by blood. He's more of a cleric to me.

“A small world we live in” is a common phrase, and it can be fairly attributed to the growing ease of travel from top world nations to emerging ones. Each day, over 100,000 flights take off around the globe, keeping airports constantly busy.
While Malta, a small nation, operates with just a single airport, here’s a list of countries with the highest number of airports.

1. United States
The United States has the highest number of airports in use, with some states operating between three to five functional airports. The country has a total of 15,873 airports.

2. Brazil
The largest country in South America, and the fifth largest in the world by area, Brazil also ranks seventh in population. It boasts 4,919 airports serving over 212 million people.

3. Australia
Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. Driving across its vast geographic regions can take hours or even days. To bridge that gap, Australia operates with 2,180 airports.

4. Mexico
Tourism contributes 9% of Mexico’s GDP, making air travel a major mode of transportation. The country has around 1,485 airports.
Fun fact: Despite ranking fourth in the number of airports, only about 30% of Mexican citizens have flown on a plane.

5. Canada
Canada is the second largest country in the world, covering 9,984,670 square kilometres (3,855,102 square miles). Given its vast size, air travel plays a significant role in transportation. Canada has 1,425 airports—60 fewer than Mexico.

Crime Scene Digitized...

I'm a Criminologist by profession and a doctoral student in the field of Criminalistics.

AmiableMosquito:
Hmm.....have you worked as a coroner or detective? Or is this an offshoot of watching crime movies excessively?

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION

Crime Scene: Inspector Stephen Enang’s Death

Location: A dimly lit football viewing centre on Abang-Asang Street, Calabar. Plastic chairs line the narrow space, packed with football fans.

Time: Around 10:45 PM, shortly after the final whistle of the UEFA Champions League match.

Weather: Slightly humid night, a soft breeze carries the sound of distant traffic.


Scene Elements:

The Crowd: Dozens of fans are slowly filing out, still buzzing about the game. Some are wearing Arsenal jerseys, others shaking their heads in disappointment.

The Body: Inspector Enang is slumped in a red plastic chair, head tilted back unnaturally. His arms are limp at his sides. A bottle of malt rests near his foot, untouched.

Immediate Observations:

No visible injuries or struggle marks.

His phone, wallet, and ID are still on him.

A faint smell of sweat and cologne lingers.

His expression—frozen in what looks like a faint smile.


Witness Statement (from friend):
“He was shouting, jumping, clapping. Then, after the final whistle, I thought he was just sitting to catch his breath. But when I tapped him, he didn’t move. I knew something wasn’t right.”

Police Response:

Officers from the Akim Division arrived within 15 minutes.

Scene secured.

Body transported to the Police Hospital for evaluation.


Unanswered Questions:

Was it a heart attack, or something else?

Did the excitement trigger a preexisting condition—or was something more sinister at play?

Was there anyone near him?

Standing5:
Politics of figures. Where is the impact being felt? Budget is epileptic, debt is blossoming, people are crossing over.

That's the question... The government should let it reflect on human and food security.

It is commonly called the heel. Others may refer to it as the end slice, crust, or even butt—it varies depending on where you're from or personal preference. It's all about your origin. For instance in Jamaica, it's called "bread back".

You still do not agree you have a problem... A big one. Learn and grow. Silence is golden. I got a plane to catch. I ain't got your time.

One of your attributes I guess. Picture me rolling.

Tochi3:


..senselessness..

You're still acting weird, maybe youthful exuberance... I'll say you're naive or ignorant about governance. A government can not be 100% wrong about everything. Every government (past and present) contributes to the growth of the country. It might be little, average or huge. There might be short comings but one of your useless policies is Local government autonomy which is a good thing... Tax relief on medical and some food items. You do not know how to comment on political discuss. Get "The Good Study Guide". You'll than me later. I'm not a politician, I'm a Criminologist, so my arguments might not be from the left or right wing politics but from a sociological perspective. Do not forget the same you will drink a sachet or bottle of water and toss it on the alley, change begins with you and I.

..you are not wise at all..those who execute the useless policies of Thief'nubu were appointed by him..& they execute his useless policies based on the frame work of that useless policy

..help your baptist self..I recommend a new brain

You're hundred percent right. Local intelligence and proactive measures is key to tackling insecurity but the question remains, what are the politicians doing about it? Most of them are not technocrats and they politicise every sensitive matter. If you ask me as a criminologist, spending huge amounts on war against terror is not worth it because it's counterproductive.

TimeManager:
This one touch me... Defense gulps the largest budget allocations for the past eight years and it increases each year. Ali Ndume should act more serious, the lives of his people should be more important than hugging headlines for the wrong reasons. There's no reason we should still be fighting insurgency for almost 20 years if the elites and traditional rulers are not benefiting from it.



-Kiss the truth!

Are you sure you're not struggling with reading? Perhaps I can recommend a book for you to help you on reading, comprehension and then summary writing. No disrespect intended.

There are so many things you do not understand. I'll just hint you one of many. Do you know that most of the big wigs in APC now were formerly landlords in PDP? It's not the party but individual ideologies. If the current ruling party suffers setback, they'll migrate to the surviving party. Nigeria is not like US where a politician can be a Democrat or Republican for a lifetime or be a left or right wing politician. Everyone in APC can not like the current government and if it's PDP ruling at the moment, everyone in PDP can not like their presidency...vice versa.

Let's take a look at the LG autonomy which is a good thing. Supreme Court issued the judgment nine months ago and governors in APC are yet to open accounts with the CBN. A news media even used the word, 'frustrated' the process of implementation. That's to tell you how unhappy the governors are. And Delta state government (LGs), a PDP state have perfected their accounts with CBN. Imagine the personal ideologies of the governor, he didn't contest it but the APC states are turning a blind eye to the judgement and governors in general will talk about the Rule of Law prevailing in some cases. You know the rest...

It's an organised crime... The case involving Oyedele Oyebola Adewunmi, declared wanted by the Nigerian Police for alleged money laundering and fraud exceeding $268,000, highlights the growing concern of white-collar crime in Nigeria.
As a criminologist, it is evident that such crimes often exploit trust, corporate structures, and cross-border investment opportunities to deceive victims and launder illicit funds.
The use of a legitimate business front and the international scope of the alleged scheme reflect the sophistication of modern financial crimes, which require equally advanced investigative and regulatory responses. This case underscores the urgent need for stronger financial oversight, enhanced inter-agency collaboration, and increased public awareness to prevent the exploitation of unsuspecting investors and uphold justice.

It's necessary you read to understand before commenting. Meanwhile, I can recommend a book for you to help you understand reading and comprehension then by extension, summary writing. No disrespect intended.

I have had
numerous sex with girls on tinder that clearly wrote
"Not into Hookup"

This made me question
Why do women say one thing then in the next minute do the opposite.

My babe and i will go for dinner

Me: Babe they are selling that ur favourite popcorn

Her: Nooo im not in the mood for popcorn

Me: What of puff puff?

Her: babe No.. let me just eat meatpie

Me: any other thing??
Her: I'm not hungry. 1 Meatpie is ok

Procced to buy popcorn, ice cream for myself and buy her 1 meatpie.

Immediately i put snacks on the table within few mins of gisting she start grabing my popcorn and start eating like play like play before you know it she go finish popcorn.
While her meatpie just is still intact with few bites.
This is the same girl that said she dont want popcorn few mins ago.

Why are Nigerian girls so double standard?? They do opposite of what they say.. why??
Cant you women be straight foward in this life for christ sake

The ability of Bello Turji and his gang to host an elaborate Eid celebration in Magira before carrying out a brutal attack highlights severe security gaps in Sokoto State. This incident underscores the failure of intelligence-led policing and the lack of rapid response mechanisms to prevent such gatherings. The presence of armed bandits from neighboring Zamfara indicates that these groups are operating with relative impunity, likely exploiting weak surveillance, porous borders, and potential local sympathizers. To counter this threat, a multi-pronged approach is necessary, including increased intelligence operations, proactive military action, community-based surveillance, and the disruption of logistical support for these criminal networks. Strengthening inter-agency collaboration and leveraging technology, such as drone surveillance and communication interception, will be crucial in dismantling Turji’s network and preventing further atrocities.

Yea, you're right. From a criminological perspective, your post touches on several key themes: the reliability of witness testimony, the role of mental health in criminal accusations, and the broader implications of unverified allegations on governance and public trust. Here are some points to consider:

1. False Allegations and Their Consequences – In criminology, false accusations can have serious legal and social consequences, including wrongful convictions and reputational damage. Research on false allegations suggests that while some arise from misunderstandings or misperceptions, others may be influenced by psychological factors, political motivations, or social pressures.


2. Moral Panic and Public Perception – When high-profile individuals make extreme claims, they can contribute to what sociologist Stanley Cohen termed “moral panic,” where society reacts disproportionately to a perceived threat. If the accusations are unverified, they could lead to unwarranted fear or political instability.


3. Criminal Justice and the Burden of Proof – In legal and criminological studies, accusations of serious crimes such as assassination plots require substantial evidence. Without proof, such claims could be classified under defamation, perjury, or even obstruction of justice, depending on the intent and impact.


4. Victimology and Perceived Threats – Victimology explores how individuals perceive themselves as victims of crime. In some cases, individuals with a history of real or perceived victimization may develop heightened sensitivity to threats, leading them to see conspiracies where none exist. However, the challenge remains distinguishing genuine threats from perceived ones.


5. Criminological Theories on Power and Crime – Conflict theorists like Karl Marx argue that the powerful often suppress the voices of the less privileged, which could mean that claims against political figures should not be dismissed outright. However, rational choice theory suggests that making false or unverified accusations could be a calculated move to achieve political or social gains.
