High cost of living in Nigeria, honestly, I don't know where we're heading to

This morning, when I saw-off a visitor, on my way back I entered a supermarket to get a loaf of bread, and I had only 2k cash with me, I didn't come out with my atm card

When I went to make payment, then the attendant said; 'oga the bread don add money ooh' shockingly, I asked! How much? She said 1,700. Then I said, but I bought it here three days ago 1,500, she said yes, the price don go up again. Then I said 'no wahala take your money, anyhow we go survive am'

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, unless in an usual situation, a day doesn't pass me by without taking at least a cup of tea/ coffee, and this loaf of bread called 'jumbo' before 2015, I could remember I used to buy it 350 Naira
1400

COMRADES, Please tell us how much does it cost in your area, city or state. I could remember vividly as at January 2024 the price of the aforementioned item was 1,200, and I don't how much it will cost before the end of the year

Another wahala, there's beans scarcity in my area, what's happening actually I don't know
Thank you very much

Over 98% of the people reading this subject haven’t been to prison before. The first thing that comes to an ordinary crime-free Nigerian is a mental picture of a room with Iron bar doors. Well in Nigeria, there are different types of prison. The class of people with the Jurisdiction to know about all prison types is Lawyers, judges and Police officers. A prison is designed for individuals that have broken the law.

Who manages the prisons in our country?
Let’s start off with the people that manage the Prisons in Nigeria. They are the NCS, an acronym for “Nigerian Correctional Services”. They are the only body that has legal rights to operate all prisons in the country.

The Nigerian prison service has its National office located in Abuja. It would be important to also note that they don’t work alone. They work in partnership with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. NCS has offices across all 36 states of Nigeria. The prison Services has improved vastly since the British Empire left the Nigerian shores.

Their responsibilities include the following:
They ensure that all the different types of Prisons as operated as the law states.
They make sure that prisons are more secure, and that the prison staffs are doing their job effectively.
They also see to it that inmates are well escorted from prison to court and from court to prison.
Finally, they collect data and analyze data.
With over 250 million people in this country, I guess we need a lot of prisons right? Most of Nigerian prisons can carry up to 75000 people. In Nigeria, there are more males in custody than women.

What are the Types of Prisons in Nigeria?
Some criminals are dangerous, whilst others aren’t. Differences in offender personality can warrant that a person’s on custody stay indifferent prison types. Some differences could be gender-associated, age-related or maybe mental health.

The following are the different types of prisons we have in Nigeria.
Female only prisons
Security prisons
Military Prisons
Juveniles / Minor correctional Facilities
Psychiatric prisons.
Female only prisons
Nigeria has two female-only prisons. When women in the country break the law, they are sent there. The names of these two prisons are Kirikiri and Numan old prison respectively. They are located in Lagos state and Adamawa state respectively. A lady that has turned 18 years of age can be sent to either of the correctional facilities. Women in custody stay there for months, even years awaiting their trial by the court. Nigeria had only one female prison in Kirikiri up until 2017. In the year 2017, the Federal Government established its second female prison in Adamawa state. This is the aforementioned prison known as the Numan Old prison. It has a capacity of 400 inmates.
Security prisons
Security prisons in Nigeria have three main subcategories. They include minimum security, the medium-security, and the maximum-security prisons. The minimum security prisons are meant for defaulters of crimes that are not that serious. Some of these crimes include; Fraud, domestic violence and theft. The second subcategory of security prisons houses criminals. This is because they need to be locked away from society so that they can’t cause more damage. An example of the medium-security prison is the Kuje prison.
Now, the grand finale, the Maximum security prisons! This is the humble abode of all the Very dangerous people in Nigeria, I’m talking about people that have killed people, indulged in hyper-violent acts, etc. they are locked away in complete isolation from everyone. An example of a maximum-security prison in Nigeria is the Gashua Maximum Prison.

Military prison
Is a force man? Have you served in the Nigerian army, or committed Military crimes? Then, you would serve jail time in a military prison. Currently, the state of the Nigerian military prisons is nothing to write home about. So, if you are a uniform man or woman, try not to break the hedge of the law.

Juveniles/Minor correctional facilities
A juvenile in law jargon is a person below the age of criminal prosecution, which is 18 years. Nigeria has Juvenile prisons for under-aged individuals that break the law and disturb society. These places serve as correctional facilities for juvenile detainees. Amongst the 90,000 prisoners in Nigeria, there are only 2% juveniles in Prison. Juveniles are not allowed to go to the same prison that adults go to. They are always sent to a correctional facility. So if you are a small boy and think you can carry a gun and get away with it, I hope this article acts as an eye-opener. Nobody is above the law, not even 3-year-olds.

Psychiatric Prisons
An individual with mental instability that breaks the law, is always sent to psychiatric prisons. They are also given Mental health care in these psychiatric prisons. There is a major development by the federal government about this.

Now let’s take a good look at the complete list of all the prisons in Nigeria

And you think Kwakwanso will deputize Peter Obi?

How can a majority tribe deputize a minority tribe?

No ticket can defeat Tinubu in 2027 except if APC split. If they split and most Northern governors port to the other side, then it’s easy to defeat Tinubu.

If I am PDP, I will invest more time in weakening APC and making sure that party fracture before 2026 or else even if they go and bring David in the Bible, he still won’t defeat Tinubu.

A definition you learnt in secondary school that you will never forget.

Instead of having a general elections let us select 10 people from each ward, they would be the ones to vote in a presidential, gubernatorial and National Assembly elections.

As we have 10,000 wards nationwide it means that 100,000 delegates would select our president and a smaller number would select the governor and down to the National Assembly.
