Wickedtruths:
This fraudster is a Nairaland member

The guy was disguising as NGO. So pathetic

Not a lawyer, I think the alleged coupists would be tried before a court martial to breaching service rules. But the main crime of attempt to overthrown government would be before civil courts.

CodeTemplarr:
No. It is as bad in the north. Just tell them pakistan or algeria or Tunisia is the destination.

That's not true. If you go to the mentioned, at least 80% of the Nigerians you'd find there are southerners.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
What are you saying?
This is far from it

Are saying democracy means brazenly, openly diverting monies meant for payment of salaries of thousands of workers and using it to fund the luxurious extravagant lifestyle of a few?

Come on...

You're saying something different.

This is true sha. But e to hard to correct this with our ultraliberal form of democracy

VanuatuWycombe:
Yes.
I have had an opportunity of meeting Osinbanjo’s security details at Abuja airport at one point when they were flying to Lagos. They were well composed and you won’t even notice they were carrying such munitions on them.

They would submit all their security apparatus to a section of the airline and airport security handling such things well packaged, labeled and secured and those security apparatus would be handed over to the rightful person, upon landing.

Someone not well on a plane can snatch Yerima’s service pistol and cause havoc. He too is not even to be trusted because his intention is not known. More so, there could be an accidental discharge either on ground or in the sky which could cause serious or fatal damage.

Thank you for the insights. Since there are such measures for safekeeping, then I see no justification for what the officer did.

The green university. No wonder it's naturally ahead.

Abeg for those who work at the airport: if a security personnel who's an ADC or similar to that is not allowed to carry a pistol on-board, do the airport security collect it and safekeep it then hand over safely at destination?

Congratulations. Keep to the words of Madam Ngozi during the convocation lecture

Hehe. Perhaps the capital expenditure will only get be to be executed by 2028, gauging from what's happening with 2025 budget. Hardly anything interesting in recent FG budgets. Thousands ans thousands of unnecessary projects(due to budget padding), project duplication, and worst is no funding for the budgets. If the budget process is not sanitised, we are making no progress

Wetin consign FG with state metro? Tomorrow they'd start complaining about lack of funds. It's now clear that our own type of democracy is a scam. Tinubu often beats his chest as one who fought for democracy, but here is doing anything but democracy —by stifling opposition through monetary lure or EFFC hunt etc

The man is obviously partisan. He's a major progenitor of the false claim about persecution of christians, which is at odd with the FG position . Let him just come out and dissociate from his past claims.

nkwoemeka:
Lie from pit of hell, I am a trucker and ply the road regularly, I can attest to minimal work going on from okene to prison junction, from obajana junction to okene is standstill. Then their is little progress from irua to ekpoma. Let them expedite action on that road because the raining season is fast approaching.

That's how they use pictures of few sections and tell lies. I believe if they give enough money to the contractors we'd see progress

You're doing well. How I wish there's 'Buy me a coffee' option on NL

SisterAnn:
95% of beggers in the south are northerners. Your leaders are good for nothing if you ask me.

They can't develope a localized interstate security work to compliment the national forces like the counterparts in the south have done.

They can't abolish begging and mean it and also replace it with mass education and empowerment.

They are very useless, all of them!

Your leaders in the south are not any better. In fact, they are worse. With less resources, the northern governors build more infrastructure. If you doubt me just travel around northern states and see for yourself

They can build multi-billion Naira roads and structures but can't pay the paltry sums owed workers.

It is a big lie. It's not really by the number of projects. Not even by the contract value. But by what has been executed. Everyone knows the focus region

Cyberterror:
What many people don't know is that come 2027 ethnic politics will be at play in Kano. Governor Abba Yusuf is of Kanuri origin and Kanuris have a huge presence in Kano state. Kwankwaso is a fulani man and Fulanis in Kano are not that many. Kwankwaso has been relying on Kanuris to keep his Kwankwassiyya movement going but now that there is a split, Kanuris with Hausas will pitch their tent with Abba.

Where did you get this? I read that Abba is of the same lineage as the Kano royal family. By the way, there's no tribal segregation in Kano politics. Shekarau's origin is in Borno, but th electorate never used that as a yardstick.But he's a Kano born and bred, through and through. So, stop bringing this tribal stuff

Cti28:
Even the one recently completed along Abuja-Kaduna express road is already failing, just weeks after it was opened for use.

Chai. After ceasing the good work Julius Berger was doing

The underlying problem is sociocultural and not religious. And majority of northerners have been calling out the the FG and state governments to help end the practice, but they nothing significant is yet to happen. But the nauseating begging is the one done in most southern states. From the police there, security men, cleaners, agberos etc.

Student loan now, and university financial autonomy will soon follow. Tuition fee will spike and the loans will be become more difficult to get. It's no news that majority of graduates struggle to get jobs five years or more after graduation. Thus, repayments are expected to be slow.

Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, no vex o. But Abacha, IBB and Malami wey be better Muslims no sabi say them go account for every kobo wey dem earn? 🤔

Am I one of the mentioned? Direct your message to them

How would someone be at peace when he spends what does not belong to him? As a muslim, I know I have to account for each kobo I earn and how I spent it, before the Almighty on the Day of recompense. So, I try as much as possible avoid people's money.
In another vein, the CBN should make it easier to return such monies. I remember a case where I received about 100k erroneously. I had to go the banking halls several times to make the refund, and we all know the stress of physical banks.

The next is to drop the red cap. Abba's decamping is arguably the biggest political betrayal in recent time. Their relationship reportedly dates back to four decades ago. Abba was PA to RMK for several years post-1999 and rose to become an influential commissioner of works during the latter's impressive second tenure. 2019 came and RMK pushed Abba as the PDP guber candidate. If not for incumbency factor and magomago of the ruling APC, he would have won. Kwankwasites never lost hope, they reserved their might for the next election. It came to pass, Abba floored Ganduje's camp who wanted to extend the 8 year APC rule in the state. Out of the blues, Abba now has parted ways with his godfather who is said to double as his in-law. I have observed that the die-hard Kwankwasiyya fans are still with Kwankwaso and they appear to be strategising for a comeback in 2027. Kano 2027 politics just got hotter, and the next few months would surely be interesting to watch.

Before the bigots cheer over this piece, know that the victims are muslims. Southern Kaduna is not entirely christian but majority christian.

Consciousmind01:
Ramadan and Ash Wednesday (lent) start same day 18th February, 2026

Interesting. How long does the Lent last?

I am 100% sure that this is a lie. The untold claim is that all these happened in the north which has 19 states. Does it make sense that to say 1000 churches have been razed in each of the 19 states?!

StatiNONsense

Disguised and active begging quite common in the streets of Lagos

Lol. 'Fighting poverty' is vague

If the measure would make the environs better, then it's good.

38 billion in 22 years isn't a big figure, I think. I see no big deal in caring for past presidents and their deputies. Even after office, they remain state men and represent the image of their country. Thus, they ought to be given a good welfare.
