Dbestbrest:Ase O..The only way to stop crime is to be on the lookout for criminals before they actually commit crimes. The best way is watch the flow of guns into the country and across the country. Recruite police officers who will never wear uniforms but will work as undercover spies in communities and to make police phone numbers easily accessible to the masses. Another way is by putting signs along the road saying " see anything strange " Call the police. By the time criminal elements keep on seeing these signs they know the police and communities are watching. What this does is make criminals think harder before they commit crimes this thinking will make them commit crimes at hours were people are asleep or where there are few people what that means is the probability of people getting killed during crime will drop since criminals will only seek out areas with very few people |
AnonPoet:. Omo the emblem of the group is very beautiful. I hope they paid the designer handsomely for the beautiful crest. |
AnonPoet:This is a very good development. More power to them. They should do seven point request also |

ratcock:This is very interesting. This is all I can say, spambot is on the prowl. |
rossipki:Or maybe they are resting and have gone back to the drawing board to win the " Champions " league |
shadrach77:Of course there is a Nigerian connection. Can you wake up today in Lagos and want to sell Smartphones in Ghana the next day. Fear go catch you ...... but if you have a link man who has paid your ticket and accommodation you will be smiling and taking selfie on the plane. |
workchopNG:Have you thought of being prayed for ? |
ObasaHF:In a right thinking country this your post would make you a candidate for an economic job. You have said it all. To eat well In NIgeria today you have to spend 1k on a meal at least. Even when I drink Garri it comes to 1k per garri drinking. Se I no go buy groundnut ? Groundnut of N500, Garri 300, Sugar N100, Pure Water N100 |
agulion:I cannot even live on N10,000 for 5 days and I am single. o the fear of the Spambot..... |
sweetjohn:Blood of Jesus !!! Blood of Mary !!! Blood of Joseph !!! Blood of Zechariah !!! I bind in Jesus Name !!! Satan I bind !!!! Religious Demon !!! I bind. !!!!!!. Holy Ghost Fire !!!!!! Bros have you considered join Boko Haram ? Because there is no difference in both your thinking. Holy Ghost !!!! Blood of Jesus !!!! |
sweetjohn:Did Jesus say we should fight our neighbor ? |
DomPerignon:The problem with us is we no get sense wealth is built over decades. I knew who Dangote was in the 90's . If you do not know a man a decade before he becomes prominent. Immediately question his wealth. |
DomPerignon:Yup just 5 more dangotes in 5 different sectors. Actually their are like 49 Dangotes in Nigeria but all the money is outside NIgeria so it does not benefit us. The Secret to Dangote is early understanding that you are safer in Nigeria being rich than being rich in another man's land when the government can wake up and Abramhimovich you |
Efuaye:His father was rich and he moved around with all the rich people he could see that was why Epstein caught him. Trump is rich by association. As you said no business man is this inconsistent publically. It's one thing to be inconsistent privately and another to be publically inconsistent. |
sweetjohn:Ok ooo. Like they have not levelled so much of Israel ? Keep on fighting. |
uncleinans:Na you whey get distorted info. Iran did not have revenue for the last 45 years thanks to sanctions. What revenue are you talking off ? |
God1000:Iran are the Grandmasters of War. No America was too predictable, if you look at Iran, Afghanistan, Libya the patterns of destruction are all the same. Iran had 2 decades to plan. America should have changed its foreign policy to avoid war because the patterns are in the open for all to see. America will end up being very weak in 20 years time because the world has seen the pattern. Nothing worse than when people can see your pattern.....it is finished. |
Sonnobax15:I think the best way to change people is to show them the data of people who failed Screaming and shouting only works on Intelligent people. For people of lower Intelligence you need to give them real life stories of people who failed miserablely at what they are attempting this will serve as a reminder when they see how many times they fail. For people of little Intelligence or people who are too emotional you may need to just leave them alone and watch them fail and come to the realization Human psychology is different per person so what works for A may not work for B. |

Reloadedisraelp:He is too much in a hurry and he lacks strategy. The same formula every 4 years with zero change. Tinubu is more strategic he used Buhari to get his party in power. |
Validated:Power will shift to the North Naturally as you said. And Obi cannot Run in 2031 as you said . Please drop that superman comic you are reading. Atiku has broken the jinx by running anytime he wants to run. Obi win also run anytime he wants |
Reloadedisraelp:If he was smart he would have done like Tinubu and Buhari. Support Obi so that the party gains power then run after Obi has left power |
