Rosebud90:
But why does Buhari always address national issues while on foreign tours or BBC hausa? what happened to NTA and media chats

Because these local stations are mere yansh lickers.
They shy away from asking questions they perceive might be sensitive to Emperor Bubu. They only ask soft questions which already has ready made and obvious answers, questions they hope won't provoke or ruffle anyone's feathers.

Foreign medias have no reason to be fazed by that.

Crime › Re: 14-Year-Old Lucy Ejeh Kidnapped In Zamfara, Converted To Islam by whirlwind7(m): 12:24pm On Mar 05, 2016*

I suspect that the recent case of Ese Oruru will bring to light a lot of such incidents that haven't received much media coverage.
Such abduction of underage girls have been rampant and under reported.

Just wondering why the parents of this particular girl haven't been making much noise since this incident 7 years ago. They were probably subdued by powerful Imams and prominent leaders who covertly support these abductions. See the virulent opposition Ese Oruru's mother received when she went to retrieve her daughter?

7 years is a lot of time. She would probably have about 3 kids by now, and should be able to recite the quran backwards.

MrFairplay4ume:
Another story to castigate and demean Islam. Mind you the force conversion is a fallacy, you hypocrites always find a way to twist the news to favour you whims and caprices. With the number of young chaste girls in Islam, muslims have to "forcefully" convert your girls. The last time I checked it was categorically stated that there is NO compulsion in religion!

.

Did you take a look at yourself in the mirror when you typed this?
If you didn't, well, go and have a look. What you'll see is called hypocrisy. If you are looking for a hypocrite, check in your mirror. True, there should be no compulsion in religion...but don't tell us. Rather tell it to your Muslim brethren in the North.

As if we need to look any more further to confirm such incidents of forced conversion and marriage to teen aged girls. Were you living under a rock when the news of over 200 school girls from Chibok were kidnapped, forcefully converted to Islam and married off?
The recent case of Ese Oruru is probably another fictitious tale to you. Haven't you heard about Patience Paul? Even the sharia police has a hand in her case. See it here: https://www.nairaland.com/2972084/patience-paul-abducted-benue-girl

The worst problem mankind can have is to never realize that he has a problem.

Crime › Re: We Will Stop Further Abduction For Marriage —arewa Youths by whirlwind7(m): 6:08am On Mar 05, 2016*

Hogwash!
They only made this declaration because this particular case generated much publicity and negative reaction from the public.
I can tell you that their leaders do condone such things. This is just a face saving statement.

How could the youths mobilize in their numbers to antagonize a mother trying to rescue her teen-aged daughter, if this was a private affair strictly between the Yinusa fellow and Ese Oruru, and they are not getting any covert support from their Imams and Emirs?

One needs to know the thought process of Hausa and Fulani Muslims to begin to understand this situation. if the position were reversed, and a guy from the South goes up North to befriend a teen girl, and persuade her to come down to his village and become his bride, will the same response be observed? Of course not! It's even the immediate kinsmen of the man who will protest and object to it, until the man returns the girl to her people.

Let them keep encouraging the Almajiri system. Their ignorance is bound to consume them. Someone abducts a teen girl and marries her without her parental consent, and their youths, their future leaders, their most enlightened population, the lifeblood of their society rose in support of it!

Tufiakwa!! This is one pointer that most of the kidnapped Chibok girls may never be recovered.

Pavore9:
Why should we apologize is zero-grazing rocket science? Are we not paying for the meat or is it given out for free? Rather than each state especially in the South to allocate land to them, the States should build internal capacity on dairy farming as a plot of land can comfortably accommodate 10 cows that will be producing about 250 litres of milk daily! These Fulanis should get educated and upgrade their operations!

Only a mischievous fellow will back any plans to create grazing reserves down south. The north has got the largest land mass in Nigeria, yet they can't put it to good use. The cumulative effect of years of shunning education and steadfastly clinging to obsolete cattle rearing methods. The only region whose change is along negative directions, and hell bent on dragging the entire country in it's journey to self destruction.

Cattle rearing is big business for these nomads, yet they want the major factor (land and it's vegetation) for free. Do they share the beef and milk freely to the host communities?

You know what? His hands are tied. With the sort of armed forces structure being run in Nigeria, state governors cannot give direct orders to the police or military force. The orders have to come from the Federal Govt. The governor can only make requests to the Presidency for military assistance.

This was one of the reasons some governors (especially Lagos state) were clamoring for state controlled police few years ago.

the scourge of Fulani herdsmen has gone beyond any rational being. That in a modern day Federation, a group of illegally armed herders will openly terrorize, kill and displace hundreds of thousands of people, and the government absolutely refused to take rigid steps to put a stop to it is incomprehensible. These killings have been going on for decades without letting up.
Yet, we are still here. We are still wallowing in a union that has nothing to show for it after more than 50 years! One Nigeria indeed.

Someone mentioned the story to me few days ago. Also referred to LIB carrying the story. That donations were being solicited for.
At first, I was skeptical. Then I said, if Linda Ikeji actually reported the story, and the desperate man needed just a couple of millions for the life saving surgery, what stops Linda from cutting a cheque made to that amount to save the guy's life?

Didn't hear anymore about that story, until seeing it here on NL...and with the confirmation that it was indeed reported by Linda Ikeji.
Guess purchasing Hermes bags (fake or real) had more value to her than a human life.

Hope the governor's intervention will save this man's life. Cancer cases seem to be on the rise nowadays.

Another painful cramp by 4:10am and I decided we must leave home by 5am for the hospital.

Got to the general hospital by 5:40am and she has gone into the labour ward. Nurses still a bit sleepy but have asked her to use sanitary pad(panty liner already in place) and have a seat.

Main question is what exactly should I be doing now as her husband apart from praying. Dont want to call family members just yet.

Our first baby.

Chill.
I'm sure the nurses will call for your attention when it's needed.
Let nature take it's course. So long as it's a normal delivery, you will only be needed AFTER the birth of the baby.

NYSC › Re: NYSC To Post Youth Corp To North East This Year by whirlwind7(m): 3:53pm On Feb 25, 2016

The reason why I loathe this country so much!

The nitwit said insurgency has been "reduced drastically", so it's now safe to post corpers to those states.
Someone should let him know that you don't need dozens of Boko guys to commit mass slaughter. Just a single guy sneaking into any NYSC lodge at night with an AK47 is enough to put helpless parents and the nation into deep agony.

Many of these corp members might end up in remote parts of the states where military presence isn't much, and their NYSC uniform will provide a very attractive target.
I hope parents and intending Youth Corps members protest against this. Insurgency is far from over. Since these demons can no longer go toe to toe with the military, they have resorted to taking on soft targets. NYSC members are the sweetest soft targets you can present them with.

Cases of rape and assault committed by immigrants of Middle Eastern origin has increased across Europe. That isn't what is strange. The worrisome thing is that the authorities often try to sweep it under the carpet.
What's more, Caucasian natives of Europe are gradually, but steadily becoming minorities as migrant Arabs constantly pour in from across Syria, Turkey, Iraq and other countries in the region.

Another place I have my attention is the Enugu south axis. Ozalla, Akegbe-Ugwu, Amechi Awkunanaw, Akpasha and Amodu zone, all the way down to Ituku and even as far as Isu-Awaa if I can get something along the road.

My attraction is the relative ease of entering the nerve center of Enugu from the Port Harcourt express, zooming into Independence layout and New Haven areas in just about 15 minutes from the towns I mentioned.

Still on search mode............

The farthest among these places you mentioned, from the beginning of Enugu-PH express way southwards, is Isu-Awaa...and it is a mere 25km along the express way. Not far at all. Like you observed, the most important factor here will be closeness of the location to the expressway. It will be very cool to have an estate in any of these areas.

I think Ozalla will make a lot of sense, especially somewhere near 4 corner junction. Really nice location. But I don't see any reason why lands around there should be up to N2.5m per plot.
I'm sure there are bound to be much cheaper lands a little more southwards, around Ituku, close to UNNTH

HKfrJohn:
I hope letters like this will help stem the flow of Nigerians being incarcerated in HK for drug trafficking. Tanzanians have virtually stopped coming. Kenyans have stopped. But Nigerians keep coming. God, please help Nigerians know that bringing drugs to HK is a suicide mission.

Remember a certain Yoruba proverb, which when translated says: A dog that is about to go missing/die will never hear it's master's (or hunter's) whistle.
Where public executions of drug smugglers in certain countries have failed to deter some people, I doubt a letter from a prisoner could do the job.
There are folks who get deceived into becoming drug mules, but majority who went into it already knew the score beforehand.

He did himself in. Such a pitiful, avoidable death. The train driver would have blown his horn repeatedly, without effect.
