Rather than join hands to condemn the evil act, we are busy playing tribalism, as if crime is peculiar to only a certain region. Not a single sense of nationalism. Shame! Public property have been vandalised in many places and regions in this country in the past. I don't understand this tribal dragging going on up there. Crimes are being committed all over the place.

Surrounding yourself with the right people starts with your decision on where to live, it almost always determines how you live. From Spain to France, it is only in America that we are now hearing about other passions aside football from Messi. Maybe if Ronaldo had gone to America rather than chasing after Qatari money bags, he’d understand that life does not begin & end with one sport!

Did you just type this? You actually reveal your ignorance about CR7. Man has chain of hotels, perfume brands and co, for a long while now. Be calming down. So, you think CR7 is just playing football only? Lol. He also still dreams of ending up in Hollywood.

I almost cannot close my mouth with what I just read here. Bought each chopper for $6m and sold them for $500k, with a mileage of less than 50 hours? And the college has no chopper to train its students anymore? A College of Aviation with no chopper? Nigeria, we hail thee.

At the end of the day, nobody is going to get prosecuted for anything. I am sure of one thing though, they did not actually sold the choppers at the rate of $500k each. Never! They sold them for way more than that. It is well.

Oh. I never knew we're on same page. I had to go back to read the complete part of your post. You posted just one line when I responded, thinking you were referring to the NLC as the enemy of the people. My apologies.

I reckoned that was what must have been the case. It's all right sir/ma'am

Eriokanmi:
We know as apc supporter, you buy rice at a special price in the market by simply telling the seller you're for tinubu. So, let those who aren't enjoying this benefit proceed on strike. It's their right.

.

What can I say to you now? Shaking my head. Go and reread my post and you'll see the portion you failed to read before quoting me. No need for argument.

Phew! Enemies of the people. Whenever it's about what benefits the common man, implementation is always rocket science, but whenever it's about what benefits them, implementation is as easy as ABC.

What shall we say to these things? Back and forth here and there. Anyways, I am of the opinion that reverting to the old anthem is not the right way to go. Who goes back to the remnants of colonialism? At best, the legislation could have been passed to compose a new anthem entirely for the country. I just saw someone talk about the old English of the newly readopted anthem. That's another cause for concern. Going back to that in this modern times shows that our leaders are disconnected from reality. They did not consider the evolution of the English language at all.

These guys are good at what they do. Good music all the way. With Backstreet Boys and Westlife.

You'll wonder what some people enjoy in going about with this extra burden called fat.

What is the rationale behind jettisoning an anthem written by our own indigenous folks for one penned for us by an expatriate? It makes no sense to me. Perhaps we should also change our flag back to the Union Jack.

Jeez! One has to be very careful with what one consumes out there nowadays, especially food items that are not natural.

Confused lots. Says so much about the government.

No farmer has come out to say that tomatoes are under ebola attack. This sounds like an excuse. If tomatoes are being attacked, what happened to pepper then? These people eh, it is well.

Let's even assume that there's tomato ebola, a sensible government will look for alternative ways of making tomatoes available for its citizens, perhaps by allowing importation. Not this balderdash about deploying some audio experts and implementing some audio measures. So, the citizens should wait till when? This is a food crop, an important one at that. Very lame and stupid talk.

That's not to spite him, I think. It's to prevent a breakdown of law and order that Kay arise from the clash of supporters. Wise thing to do.

Hmmmmm what the state of the economy has turned Nigerians to.

DeOTR:
As it turns out, we are overpopulated beyond our our means. Or how do you explain the obvious fact that we can't even feed ourselves? Unemployment everywhere because our resources are overstretched.
My Dad got his first job on the day of his graduation in the 70s. That was a time our national resources are proportional to our population.
If you want to be honest with yourself, to raise for children averagely comfortably in Nigeria of today, you have to be earning nothing less half a million a month.
While I think the FG should increase the minimum wage to about a hundred thousand or above, it is very important as citizens to do our own part.
Uncontrolled explosion in population is already having its effect on us as a nation with the inherent unemployment, rising insecurity and hunger. We can't keep breeding like rats and hoping somehow money will fall from somewhere to take care of them.

You have made the point I've been looking for. A minimum wage of a hundred thousand and above. Well said. This paltry 48000-54000 is just ridiculous. Government through taxes and co are still going to take back part of this money.

DeOTR:
This is the major problem. Why would anyone have up to 4 children in this modern era, especially in Africa where poverty is rife?
I can't seem to understand. If you need to have children, it shouldn't be more than two max.
You litter everywhere with children and never think of the consequences of taking care of them.

You must have forgotten that labour is one of the factors of production or that no economy can survive without adequate human capital. There's no statistics anywhere suggesting that Nigeria is overpopulated. This human capital is what Bill Gates was advising the Buhari regime the last time he came around to adequately invest in as it will drive the country towards more economic growth and development. In the face of rife corruption and mismanagement, is the number of children really our problem?

Removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the Naira have accomplished what positive thing since May 29, 2023? If subsidy were to still be in place, no way labour would be demanding this much. A clueless government. You can't make the country difficult to live in for your citizens and expect them to now accept to live on peanuts, not when all the political office holders are even drawing bogus salaries. Anyone who thinks NLC's demands are outrageous is probably delusional.

The only union with balls left in Nigeria. If NLC were to be like ASUU, workers would fare better.

Hespee93:
But he deceived the people of Osun that he has revert to Islam by chosing a christain as a running mate.

So now the tow people rulling Osun are christians.

Wow! I never knew about that. I remember that he was once recorded among Muslim faithfuls during worship after the election.

Normal thing. He has a right to practise his faith, governor or no governor.

So spot on! Cluelessness is a person. No sign they know what they are doing at all. It is well.

Man's always been doing his thing consistently over the years. Big cheers!

This is crazy. What will they do with that paltry sum? After removing subsidies and promising heaven and earth, this is what they stand to offer?

By now, everyone ought to know that whatever a politician says, his or her personal interests will always come before that thing. Wike is not different.

The scheme that has integrated nothing and fostered no unity among the tribes of the country. Rather than have a reform that ensures that the scheme fulfils its purpose, they want to have a reform that is more geared towards money. Of course, money is the main thing. Unity and integration can go to blazes.

Politicians fight for personal interests, not common interest of the people. I just hope we see all of them for who they really are.

Hypocrites!

Niceee! Long overdue.

Malroux:
Most of children of this new generational parents are lacking home training.

I cannot disagree with you one bit.

Malroux:
And you believe your parents didn't hustle enough hence the reason why they couldn't give you enough?

Thank you for asking that question. I was wondering if parenting now has materialism as it's primary aim. The children the youths of this generation will raise, only God will have mercy. Everything's now all about money and material stuff.

In short, since the jailbreak last week till now, the pictures and information of the escaped prisoners are not yet out. Interesting! Obviously, there's no documentation of those escaped prisoners. Those ones are gone. Not supporting jailbreak, but it's a breath of fresh air for those who are innocent among them and those who have been wrongly imprisoned without any trial at all.
