The panel did a great job. When it was set, many people didn't believe in it and castigated it. The same people are now on the side of the panel

stuffs4me:
Stop using hollywood movies to judge real life issues.

May be you are the one to do so. Simply go to YouTube and watch real time car chase then comeback and comment. Police in USA can chase a car for almost a whole day without a single shot fired. The only time you see them firing is when the offender fires a weapon. Sometimes a standoff can ensued for hours. In an event they are sure the offender is armed and a stand off ensued, they make use of armoured cars to draw closer. I repeat, they fire only when the offender fires.

stuffs4me:
You would be shot dead if you had done that in other countries.

He will not be shot dead just because of that anyway. The police will do a car chase and stop him eventually. He will only be shot at if he carries and fires a gun.

The people who would have shouted sacrifice are unsurprisingly quiet because it involves one of their own. Quite unfortunate that a life was lost. The management should work closely with relevant authorities to unravel the root cause and mitigate against it for the purpose of safety

vanbonattel:
Stop deceiving yourself.

May be you should stop deceiving yourself too. The other guy up there is already saying this single body is an innocent villager returning from the farm. What makes you think if you see the 30 bodies, you will believe the army? Many of you believed the army when they said BH killed own troops without a single dead body shown. Now, you are here lambasting people cos the same army said they killed BH. What sort of double life is this?

vanbonattel:
Matthew
Israel
Victor
Ladoke

The south will get sense one day.

Is it only southerners that bear Victor, Mathew or Israel? What about the other names mentioned and where are they from? Is the brigadier general too a southerner? Just wishing for more light as I am confused with your post

Mancrossfire:
Pablo wasn't killed he committed suicide....he shot himself

It is a speculation, isn't it?. The official account is that, Colombian forces fatally shot him.

tegrianonigltd:
Watch Pablo, he Dey inside cell.

Are you talking of Escobar? If yes, read his history. When he finally agreed to be jailed, he was allowed time to build his jail from scratch. That was the condition of surrender in the first place. When he left the place unlawfully, he was hunted and killed. But the recent baron jailed in USA is in one of the worst places, Alcatraz, described as being buried alive. Truth is, even in prison, there are is hierarchy mostly based on social status in many countries. The most important thing is Maina will not be free to tour Dubai and the world as he wishes. That in itself a great punishment. If he does the restitution as ordered, then it will be fine by me.

Leverage2021:
They give you things to swallow Hook line and sinker

It's a fraud, do you remember how they claimed to have caught an "igboman" who was supplying Boko Haram logistics via road?

It was a sensational story to make it Igbo affair but was a road side mechanic responsible for supplying Boko Haram the sophisticated weapons which military itself can't rival?

I think you are being sensational yourself while accusing others. If I may ask, what facts do you have that suggest this man could not be involved? At the best, you will still answer through religious and ethic horizon without any evidence or facts. Is this Solomon the only christian in air force that he was arrested? We all are not part of the investigation so let's calm down

This is shameful to say the least. How low can a people go? It is sure that this man's company is already gone. It is more sad that this is very common among the Yorubas who are supposedly more enlightened. No body hears of anything about Abiola's numerous investments today due to this type of nonsense.

wink2015:
THE CRISIS IN THE NORTH WILL TAKE YEARS TO STOP.

KILL ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THESE FACTION AND ANOTHER ONE SPRING OUT SO QUICKLY.

The different region better prepare for eventual separation.

The north is not ready for a solution to bring peace to a country that was forced to remain one.

I don't think it is about north being serious. There is no insurgency that is easy to contain, moreso an insurgency backed by the deadly ISIS. Despite the military intelligence and might of USA and allied nations, ISIS is still active in the middle east. For me, the military is not doing too bad in containing the terrorists to some sections of the country and not allowing them to expand. The war will continue in Long time to come

SouthWestBlood:
You probably missed it. He said "they", meaning the current set of people governing this country. They have done this several times which ended up being true later. So it's based on experience that most people agree that whatever they quickly deny becomes true later.

Also, being quiet when accused of a crime doesn't necessarily mean someone is guilty, As we both know, only the court of law can pronounce someone as such. Not noises from around pointing fingers. Cheers!

Then you know nothing about the VP in this regard or you are deliberately being mischievous. Google how many times media houses have publicly apologize to the VP over sensational lies such as this against him. He should have never categorized the VP under the vague"this set of people" also based on experience you are emphasizing up there.

No wonder it is very easy to deceive average Nigerians. Politician will go and sit children to eat in classroom, eating corn on the street and taking pictures to post on social media. Joining akara fryer on the street. Then you lot fall for the gimmicks.
Ask yourselves why such practices do not happen in saner climes? As governor and a professor for that matter, he should know better. Strong institutions are bedrock of societal development and discipline. Okay, he should also disguise and go to police check-points. He can also disguise and visit ministrues, departments and agencies.
Institutional controls will eliminate those sharp practises. How many hospitals has he built as governor? Free healthcare is useless if the hospitals are not there. What is the means of registration for patients and identifying those who access the free service? You leave patients at the mercy of corrupt system and run around with camera to show you are working. Governors should be strategist, not running after nurses and teacher to do their jobs.

This your long grammar does not say anything. Firstly Zulum's work is not hidden anywhere, go through the comments and you will see majority of the comments.

Secondly, how do you create strong institutions? It is by understanding the real situations on ground, especially at the grassroot. Such institutions are also created with people, and this is the real problem. Average Nigerians in government as civil servants or politicians are highly corrupt. The situation he met at that clinic is an example of well orchestrated multi-level corruption. Who will tell the governor what is happening there when they are beneficiaries? No body except he most likely discover it. And believe me, many people will not commit such again based on his actions.

Again, don't rank Zulum with corn eating or Pomo cutting governors, he is rather someone who has come under repeated hail of bullets from insurgents while trying to reach out and identify with his people

If not, there are institutional controls to manage this. How many hospitsls is he going to disguise to visit? How many schools will he be visiting?

Institutions? You know nothing, institutions that are neck deep into the mess, yes he may not go everywhere but a strong message is already sent to all and sundry. Many of such centers will be very cautious, knowing that the governor may come anytime. If someone does something reasonable, it is good to commend them and move on

michlins:
The government should tell us who owns the building and let's start there. Setting up of panels makes no difference

The building is owned by fourscore heights limited, which Femi is the CEO. Now that you know the owner of the building......

Urbanchampion:
He deserved to be jailed! Why calling the Governor and his sons Kano thieves, did he convict them in any court of competent jurisdiction?

Many people are emotionally handicapped, you can not just label someone a thieve no matter who they are.

descarado:
And the Governor is busy forming panel

What can we boast of in this country?

What exactly would you have him do? He should relocate his office to the site, drive bulldozer or use shovel to remove rubble? NEMA, CCECC, Julius Berger and Lagos state emergency response unit are all on ground. Or do you think the people on the panel are the one rescuing people or what? If after a month, report and actions are not available, we will still complain, efforts are being made to get to the root of the matter, we are still complaining

What exactly is the work of moderators on this forum? How on earth did this disjointed senseless post made it to the front page? The OP may be useless here, but there are no words to describe the mod that push this to the front page

BIGDADDY000:
YOUR EXCELLENCY! with all due respects, you don't put more effort on this

issue of recovery and rescue, 48 hours after? people life is at stake here

The probability of surviving of those people trapped in there is so tin.

PLEASE DOUBLE YOUR EFFORT SIR.

You think this kind of operation is easy? Just read the attached

I have my name written in gold here,been selling for over a year,yet no complains yet

Fine then, that is what we want. Best wishes in your endeavors

engrfaruq:
What is NEMA doing with this case for goodness sake? All hands should've been put on deck for the rescue mission, but LASG was just left to its fate with only one caterpillar struggling to dig through the rubbles.

NEMA is there na, even Sanwo olu acknowledged them yesterday. Look, this kind of operation is not what you expect to be swift. Do you know that, the condo that collapsed in Florida in July took more two weeks for rescue and recovery? Infact, after two weeks, 76 people were still unaccounted for.

Lastmankc:
Nah for east Nigeria security forces dey flex muscles

I am not entirely sure that the east has seen a quarter of the bombs or heavy artillery only borno state received this year alone. In other words what is happening in south east is a child play compare to what is happening in the north east, that is, if we are to be honest. However, the south east may attain the level of the north east soon, if things don't improve

Maxymilliano:
Tell that to the birds ...

He got approval for 15 floors but went ahead to construct 21 floors while you all stood by and did nothing.

Whatever happened to regulatory supervision?

Gerard Road is a very busy road in Ikoyi and there is no way such noticable infraction could not have been noticed till it collapsed, Lagos State should be held responsible 100% for the avoidable lives that was lost.

He should have told us how much he and his agency collected in bribes to allow the infraction instead of presenting a weak defense

slimthugchimee2:
Is like ignorance is fully embedded in the DNA of Nigerians, a building collapse the whole area is very volatile with people trapped under rubbles, any wrong footing can crush the people under and one idiot wants to carry crowd and go there, Any untrained person there will definetly make matters worse for the people trapped under the rocks.

Nawa

Anywhere in the world the first thing the police do is to seal of the area and wait for rescue teams to do their work.

Infact I even commend the police for what they did, I am even surprise cause such professionalism is not something you see from Nigerian police

Kudos to them

you are right, the police did a good job by sealing the place. It is for people's safety, base on their statement, they were still climbing up and down the floors. What if the remaining structure collapse again?

Nbotee:
So afta Jega hoisted dis evil on us he has d guts to go and form a party to fight d evil. Una neva see anything yet

How did he hoist the evil on on us? Did he vote in the election? Blame the people that voted in APC and leave Jega alone, even at that I can't blame them for voting APC. It is not as if PDP was doing anything good apart from massive embezzlement.

DAMEHLISM:
The matter is in court doing what? Las las every where go melo.. If na uk this thing happen, him for don see pepper

The matter is before court for judgement, it is a process. The law affords everyone the opportunity to defend themselves, even you, if you find yourself in a situation. Even in the UK the process takes time. Mendy was arrested since when and the normal hearing will start next year, all this while he has being to court is just preambles.

Wait until the matter is melo before judging, for now they are before the court as you can see

DAMEHLISM:
Nigeria na scam.. Imagine someone being cought on camera molesting an under age minor and the case is easing off.
r kelly is about to spend the rest of his life in jail for just victims testimonies.

The matter is in court, what else do you want? Court processes are not done on snap of finger as you wish. Even Kelly's case took time.
