Let's forget about the bullet proof first and talk about the modern assault rifle that security aide is holding...
If politicians can arm their security with such rifles, why do our police and other security forces still use outdated and old AK-47.

probably dss official.
that is what dss make use of and some special forces unit of the Nigerian armed forces

Two security sources told Daily Trust on Sunday that the Air Force’s renewed vigour is helping in boosting the morale of ground troops as fighter jets are sent on missions even at night when there is overwhelming attack.

The Air Force is also expected to launch a convert unmanned aerial vehicle with a capacity to carry out solo missions on targets very soon.

this is what the military authorities should start exploring
this will save resources and human lives

this is simply a political move
knowing fully well that malami and co are planning to use the efcc to rubbish the 2023 ambition of tinubu

tinubu camp are just only planning their move. they are not leaving anything to chance
they are simply planning a legal move.
this guys are master planners
the case will then get to court and turn to a legal battle.

we really need peace in Nigeria, however it will continue to elude the nation if fairness ,justice and equity is only applicable to you as a Nigerian based on your ethnicity and religion.

As of today, there is so much anger in the land, people now talk with bullets
the shasha incident must have been really serious for it to be a subject of discussion by most northern opinion leaders.

the Gov of zamfara got it all wrong here.
the president made some statement regarding medical tourism, he should also abide by it. Action speaks louder than words.
that is why under the buhari led govt , everybody does whatsoever they want because the presidency says one thing and does the other thing.

the Gov is only trying to impress some people.
zamfara is traditionally an apc state. there is no way pdp can win that state . he became governor as a result of the fight btw the former gov yari camp and senator marafa camp leading to the disqualification of all apc candidates that had already won the 2019 election. so he is preparing for 2023. if he does not decamp, he would kiss his governorship seat goodbye.

slyfoxxjoe:
His comments are actually anti-Tinubu if you can read clearly.

very apt
i guess majority just read the headline and jumped to comment section.
ffk statement is simply anti tinubu .

in a tweet, the former minister wrote: “The agitation for Oduduwa Republic cannot be deterred or dissuaded by a Tinubu Presidency.

“As a matter of fact a Tinubu Presidency will only further strengthen the resolve of the separatists.This is because no-one is more hated by the Yoruba nationalists than Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

what are this guys looking for in Africa
they are quick to spread their charity wings throughout africa when the Nigerian people have not gotten enough
he has the right to spend his money however he made his fortune in Nigeria
instead of concentrating on the whole of Africa ,why not focus on healthcare, education and entrepreneurship in nigeria and see how many lives will be transformed.
how many African billionaires have we seen their 50kobo in nigeria in terms of charity

Any small issues now, smaller african countries not bigger than lagos will be dealing with nigeria.

no one is stopping the herdmen or fulani from carrying out their legitimate business as enshrined in the constitution.
the killings, criminality associated to them is quite alarming
we hear series of stories everyday about the wicked acts perpetrated by some criminal element among them
instead of dealing with them, based on the stories flying around,, their so called leaders shield them.

this should not be happening now
by now, military convoys should be traveling on MRAP .The use of hilux and toyota buffalo on some areas should be discontinued to ensure the safety of our soldiers.

“We have over 1,181 soldiers in Baga; 72 officers, 107 solders, 400 soldiers in mile 4 and 1,900 soldiers in Monguno. I see no reason why Boko Haram will stop operate in Baga town,” he had said

In as much as I sympathize with Governor, the above statistics is not needed for public consumption. This is supposed to be classified information which he must have be given as the executive governor.
Boko boys also have strategists working for them
This information is deadly and can cause serious havoc within that axis.
I just hope the military is well prepared for the next assault that would follow this revelation by the governor

eldoradoxx:
The essences of giving this slots to Senators and House of Rep members is actually not for them to collect the money and consume. Senators and House of Rep members represent all the constituencies that make up Nigeria. So giving them slots for their constituencies is Federal Government way of ensuring that nobody will say that a part of Nigeria did not benefit from the program. The Senators and House of Rep members in turn are to take their slots back to their constituencies and identify verified voters who belong to the constituencies who should benefit. That's how I see it.

How many people has access to the senator or to their rep.
I have only seen them on TV.
When osibanjo handled this thing, we didn't hear things like this.
This should not be for political patronage.
How many senators or rep member knows their constituent except the thugs and political urchins.
At the rate we are going as a nation, Only God in his mercies can save Nigeria from the hyneas and jackal feasting on our resources.

muykem:
This means APC was actually right to have disqualified him. We need to look at issue critically without sentiments, if there's nothing wrong with the first one, he will not have reason to seek for second one.

Little things we take for granted goes a long in wrecking havoc on the long run if unattended to soonest.

This error didn't just occur this year. It happened over 20years ago . obaseki didn't for once considered correcting this error up until now because it formed part of the reason given by the APC screening commitee for his disqualification.

In law , obasek is different from obaseki.
Many still have issues with their names misspelled and did nothing about it. When it is now used against them, it is not the village people that is after you. You are simply lazy and complacent . simply face the music.

]I therefore, respectfully further direct all the Committees set up nationwide made up of CAN, NSCIA, NURTW, Market Women, CSOS, Youth Organisations, respected traditional rulers, etc to proceed with their work unhindered. Only Mr. President can stop their work.”
The above statement was made by the minister of state labour today.

Mc oluomo is representing the nurtw on the committee
Folashade ojo-tinubu is representing the market women as the iyaloja general of lagos
APOSTLE ALEAXANDER BAMGBOLA Member CAN chairman Lagos state

This are interesting times indeed.
Obaseki tried to deal with osho baba using every machinery at his disposal. He almost succeeded earlier in the year. The death of Abba kyari changed the dynamic after they had a pause due to intervention on Mr president and Tinubu.
The covid-19 pandemic afforded osho baba the opportunity to re-strategize. They were doing less of talking to the media, while obaseki camp was always in the media.
Osho baba team successfully planted land mine for obaseki team. And I know they would not want to take chances this time around.
They are good planner , I must give it to them.
They used direct primary weapon to cause distraction for obaseki , then used screening committee weapon when he least expected it.
I know they still have some weapons in their arsenal.this guys are pure politicians.
Obaseki is a technocrat , he needs people who are well grounded in party politics and law at this time and not noise makers who throw insult instead of planning.

It seems bubari is also doing his usual sit down look approach. He does nothing simply.

Who will help obaseki now.

How many names or pictures of convid 19 patients have you seen on TV.( This was done intentionally because of stigmatization)
If their faces were shown, the stigmatization would have been too much.
Your next door neighbor might have been treated and recovered from the isolation centre without you knowing.

If it wasn't real, do you think the Nigerian government would have ordered lockdown
Nigeria is currently losing billions due to the lockdown
Both States and federal government are losing money
The private sector is also losing money.
At the moment now, recession is almost knocking on the doors of Nigeria.

We are experiencing the low death rate by God's grace. it is not by our govt efforts'. Countries like USA, Italy , Spain has better healthcare facilities yet people are dying in their thousands.

Don't be a victim before you believe convid -19 is real .
The experience isn't palatable at all.

God. Has so much blessed Nigeria
We had the lands which is already fertile
We are not experiencing draught at all
Just drop a seed on the soil, it grows in Nigeria. That is how our soil is.
However, agriculture has been greatly neglected in my country
Every body wants to do oil business , own tank farm, become a politician, musician, over night celebrity
Our society now look atfarming or agriculture as a profession for poor or rural folks
The few educated ones who are exposed and doing farming are making good money
Diversification of the economy is just a political talk in nigeria.

If all hands are on deck, I boldly say it , Nigeria can never go hungry.

Why allow the burial in the first place??
Since he died of covid-19, there are established procedures in burying victims of covid19
This was largely ignored( Nigerian factor, he is a big Man)

The guy removing the hamzat suit is clearly not an official of ncdc.but was just kitted for the burial. High level of irresponsibility.
If the video had not gotten out, China and Italy would have been a child play when compared to what would had happened in Nigeria.
Indeed God loves us in this nat

Who got the contract to supply the beans :::; Nigerians

Who supplied the beans::::: Nigerians

Who distributed the stony beans :::: Nigerians

The Governor did not go to the market to buy this beans. Some people got this contract, got paid and decided to make crazy profit by supplying stony beans. in all fairness, the governor might not even see the beans. He would just instruct the commissioner or one agency to do it. That is how it works in government circles.

The lady has a right to do the video .but I think were she got too personal by laying curses on the Governor was what warranted her arrest.

The food crises is not as bad as it seems. Some Nigerians just want to make crazy profit which foundation is based on blood of Nigerians.

Imagine garri of #400is now #1200 immediately the initial 2weeks lock down was announced
Some food items were increased immediately by 20 to 30% .

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria
If we decide to be patriotic citizens, Nigeria would be a better place.

Throwback:


Whatever stopped residents from registering with LASRAA since the many years they have been harping on the need and benefit of registering?

If citizens do not fulfil their civic responsibilities, why then are they expecting civic privileges and rights?

Let everyman suffer for his own foolishness, and experience will always be the best teacher.

You are very correct.
This package is meant for the elderly above 60years . text messages was sent to them 2weeks ago to confirm their addresses
Currently there are many packages going round.
Some are from the local govt chairmen .
Some are from house of reps, house of assembly members
Some are from the party Secretariat

But the one posted by the op is directly from the Lagos state govt for elderly above 60years who have registered with lassra.

As a nation we still don't know the extent of damage covid- 19 can do

In newyork, they were packing dead people on a shelf inside a refrigerated trailer like you arrange goods on a shelf in a supermarket.

Now is not the time to distract NCDC.

How do you expect them to work effectively when the time they are supposed to combating covid 19 is used to counter fake news.

Fake news only spread because we spread it.
But because of politics , tribalism, religious bias, we are quick to spread it .

She is a big figure so it is expected of her to verify before she makes any post.
She goofed on this
This event took place in 2019 in the Gambia and not Rwanda
This has nothing to do with covid-19 palliatives
This has nothing to do with Rwanda or its president

Lesson
Verify news before you post online . we are in the era of fake news

Instead of insulting buhari ,this is pure politics 101 in display.

Do you think those who drafted the speech made a mistake.
They are simply passing a message to a certain group that the president has agreed or is in tune with a resolution they have made it was never a mistake
The birthday message was just an avenue to pass it across.
Expect realignment in the coming days.
even the said igali did not deny the message he simply said president knows everything about us

Ventilators are no longer on the shelf now
It is very scare right now. Even with your money , you can't buy because demand outweighs supply
Even the USA does not have enough ventilators at the moment . trump had to invoke a law that would compel GM to make the ventilators.
Trump even said the UK prime minister had to call him for ventilators likewise government of Spain, and Italy.

Ventilators is now Gold. Even with your money , u simply can't get them. it is very pathetic.
So if we would have to beg for it, so be it, ...
Covid -19 does not know whether u are rich, poor , the ruling class or the masses.

This video was definitely leaked.
From his speech, it could be assumed that he was speaking to a superior officer definitely from the defense headquarters. He was consistently using "" sir"" in his statement. This is not a sign of fear but the reality on ground.
He was on the battle front , leading .he witnessed the encounter and was speaking to a superior officer via a video feed I think.

He spoke about the wrong intelligence his men were given . the video wasn't meant for the media, it was leaked

But the good thing about it is that Nigerians can see what our soldiers are going through on the battle field. something needs to be done urgently about the intelligence gathering of the Nigerian army.

May God Save Nigeria from saboteurs

They won't stay in Nigeria
Is it a must to travel out of the country.
Every little opportunity to travel out, they jump at it.
Considering what was happening in the UK, why did he go there? , to sign document or what?
Covid 19 is really formating wicked leaders in Nigeria

[quote author=fergie001 post=87717479]
Don't you think he should have self-isolated when he returned from Germany?

Once you have money and/or power, you circumvent the law.[/quote

They are all law breakers.
The senators and the lawmakers who failed to isolate are the next on line.
Ordinary screening at the airport, they refused when they returned to Nigeria.
We are in for a tough time.

What was he looking for in Germany on the 7th of march considering spike of covid -19 cases in the country.
Is the meeting a must??
The elite would surely pay for their carelessness.

Protest is a business venture in Nigeria.
This is just a contract.
Get paid to carry placard for the camera.simple as abc.
Unfortunately, both major political parties are involved.

This is dangerous for our democracy. Some would applaud this if they belong to bayelsa camp while the imo camp would hate this.

We the neutral here see a danger looming.this is just to show the international community that the people don't agree with her rulings.so when crisis occurs , they can present something like this as evidence. Both parties are involved

So far, the investigation revealed that Naomi met one Michael Uziewe (who is still at large) in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America, sometime in 2016, and introduced her to foreign exchange business.

Through this encounter, Naomi and her banker husband turned their two registered companies, Marhoni General Services Limited and Multaid Plus Limited, into a conduit for the dispersal of funds wired by Uziewe, who allegedly owns Global Investment network.

Naomi, in statements volunteered to the Commission, confirmed she had been receiving monies in Dollars, with instructions to pay the naira equivalent into accounts provided by Uziewe.

Facts have also emerged that each time Naomi receives the Dollar transfers, she makes over the counter withdrawals, in breach of financial regulations that such transactions go through the financial system, and sell them to Bureau de Change operators for Naira equivalents.

Rowly Isioro, a banker of over 22 years of experience has also confessed that he was aware that his wife met someone in the United States of America, who sends her Dollars, while she pays the naira equivalent to various accounts on the instruction of the US-based partner.

Rowly was allegedly relieved of his appointment with the bank as a result of his involvement in the money laundering scheme

knowledge is power.
information is key.

there are many opportunities for first class today in nigeria. some companies even employ majorly first class and little 2nd class upper.
except she wants to stay in rivers state, she should move out of that place as soon as possible.
she needs to be properly guided on what to do because age might not be on her side long enough as there are also many first class graduates now who still have age on their side.

she needs to start making use of the internet wisely. there are many scholarship opportunites available for first class .
there alot of graduate trainees jobs in banks who pay well for first class.

even the big 4 audit firms would take her as long as she is able to pass their test ...

we need to ask her some questions
has she been sending out her cv online.
or she is restricted to coys in rivers state.

if there are no village people involved, she needs to step up her game. she really need information and knowledge.

kidnapping is now a serious business in nigeria

some are real while some are false

guys $ ladies are planning(arranging) their kidnap just to extort money

clergy men (both religion) are also doing it to make money

civil servants are also doing it ( Government will pay the ransom).

some are even doing it for political reasons. quickly arrange your kidnap , make some noise abt it , accuse your opponent

celebrities are also doing it just to trend .


imagine a kidnapper negotiating like you are pricing a commodity""""bros okay , bring any amount""""

kidnapper asking for 100k, 400k .

it has been turned to a business venture. simple ABC

social media has not even helped.

the clergy man in ekiti did not even help matter. it was so painful . he kidnapped himself , and demanded for 3million ransom.
some member of the church had even started sharing brodcast mssgs, """pastor was kidnapped by fulani story"" while our pastor was busy cooling off in his hotel room.


kidnappers whether real or arranged must face the law.

For those that did not read the post but when on to comment .

Question

In that sense, are you saying that you will be a man of your own?

Answer

At 53? Certainly, I am, and I will be my own man as governor. I appreciate all the support and endorsements of the party structure. I also think that happened because they know me, they know what I have done, my contribution in government, out of government and all the various things that I’ve done. That’s why they’re supporting me. This same question of if I will be my own man is a reference to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who is our leader.

It is important to say that Asiwaju has never had any negative influence on his two successors. He is always about the development of Lagos. If anything else, he pushes us to be better than what we have done in Lagos. He is my leader and a father figure. I will be lying if I say I will not take advice from him. I will seek his wise counsel and guidance, just like I will take advice from Alhaji Lateef Jakande and anyone who have had the privilege of leading the state from when Lagos was created 52 years ago. They all have rich experiences on the leadership and governance of the state. They say experience is the best teacher.
