Beremx: Is the bolded not what DJ Switch is advocating for? Are you both not saying the same thing?
No they are not. Let me ask you, assuming your car was impounded and you were found guilty, will you prefer letting go of the car or spending three years in kirikiri prison?
plaindealer: This is not about your own personal opinion, this is about obeying the law and and playing your part as a responsible member of the society.
Obey the law and they won't impound and auction your car, simple.
Btw, the penalty for driving against the traffic is 3 years in prison so which do you prefer? 3 years in prison or your car?
Help me ask him. Even if it is 1 month, I will forfeit the car. Nigerians are mostly the cause of their problems. Why on earth do they like driving one way
Beremx: so auctioning the car of the traffic offender is a good way of prosecuting someone who killed people? What happened to arresting the traffic offender and sending him to jail?
If I am to choose between going to jail and auctioning my car, I will choose the later without hesitation. Go to jail say wetin happen? This kind Nigerian jails.
aycorporat: When will this stop or why is it taking eternity to end this insurgency?
Nigerian troops have been to Mali, Somalia, Liberia, Sierra Leone etc and they performed well.
What is it with the rag tag insurgents disturbing the Nigerian peace? Haba!
What do you mean by rag tag insurgents? Google the rating of BH among terrorist in the world and you will understand the severity of the situation. Terrorism fight is not an easy fight anywhere in the world no matter how advanced your military is. Those countries you mentioned are still battling with it till date, with even french soldiers killed in Mali last year. Certainly, the fight will linger on for a while
ipobarethieves: so wic melicine u use cure am dear? We need to help those in abroad to recover too.Dnt be stringy with dis.Pls tell us the melicine u take cure am
So who says those in abroad are all dying and not recovering?
Racoon: Another scam loading.After Ahmed Sirika-the president's kinsman launched the logo of this same imaginary airline in London for #1.5B & all the lies Lai Mohammed used to cover up the matter while no one have been punished? Go learn from Ibom Air how to float & sustain an airline
Go and read the news na, haha. What you are saying is totally offpoint
The same thing that happened to the old one will happen to this also
why don't many people read before commenting? Which old one? Have this company ever launched an airline before? Go and read, this is a private business like air peace
Lawalemi: What's his Twitter handle? This matter should not slide because Buhari is guilty as accused and he said worse things before becoming president.
I agree with you, he said worst things, but again you will ask yourself, who had the responsibility to arrest him and why he was not arrested? People don't commit offence and arrest themselves. I always blame the authorities that did not live up to their responsibilities
MondayOsunbor: Oga if the guy wrote Hausa name as his twitter handle and make the same comment
Nothing will happen
Don't bring the tribal angle here, find another means to exonerate him. I have read here on nairaland how a man from Katsina was arrested for insulting the president on facebook. He was hausa but was still arrested against your claim. It was even public outcry that let him off hook. It is not about tribalism all the times
Exmilitant: Should i believe this? At least names and photos of those affected should be displayed as done in saner climes. Abi our own covid-19 na audio alone?
This is what is happening in Yaba’s Infectious Disease Hospital (Mainland Hosptial) now. This CACOVID ward was previously empty.
godstino: No. But the Op yesterday erred when he said Nigeria Dentists suggest only extraction. That was a fallacy of hasty generalization.
Please do not mind ignorant Nigerians. I read the fallacies on the other thread with amazement. I am not a dentist but I have got dental problems. I extracted once and there was no redemption for tooth as it totally went bad. Last year ending, I was in a dental hospital, had X-ray, did washing as well. The dentist examined the x-ray and gave me the options available, infact he even strongly advised me against extraction for the tooth I thought we should extract. So don't believe all these stories. Some are even saying they extract to make money, meanwhile RCT is costlier, so it doesn't add up at all
cassyrooy: I captured in 2013 and collected in 2018 (it was issued in same 2018l and it will expire in 2023.
Mine is here with me and I use it on a daily.
mine was not like that at all. I was even perplexed on why an ID card that has a 5 year lifespan should spend 3 years with the issuer already and the user will now have only two years to use it. Both mine and my wife's at NIMC Ikeja
cassyrooy: No, it is from the day they issued your card.
What are you telling me? It is when you were captured, shebi is what I have with me. I captured in 2015 thereabout, collected around 2018 and it expired 2020.
Mysticwebb: I have waited for 7yrs and still counting. Got registered in 2013. Till date no permanent or original card as you called it.
Funny enough, the expiry duration on it is 5 years from when you were captured. This means yours has already expired even before receiving it. Mine expired two years after I received it
Veqtor: The time to act is now. The govt is Fulani, it's d most nepotistic in the history of Nigeria, so don't expect it to help you.
Also don't expect d security agents to help you, cos it's tainted. It's an open truth that all of d armed forces are headed by the Fulani.
Which is why d police would arrest murderous herdsmen when you file a complaint, and release them almost as soon as they arrest them.
They know they will always go scot free under this regime, that is why they kill continuously.
That's what you get when you vote in a foreign Fulani parasite to rule your country.
Stand up nd fight for urselves cos no one will help you.
I think the issue of insecurity has gone beyond the narrative of fulani government. How can one explains the banditery in Kastsina, the home state of the president? Both farmers and fulani cattle rearers are victims of these crimes in those states, infact the rate of crime affecting them in their home states has made them migrated massively to the southern part of the country, causing a lot of the crises we are witnessing. Poor economic policies, corruption all leading to joblessness and poverty over the years is the result we are bearing today, insecurity
The same dumb people calling the man a fool for not collecting bribe must have insulted our corrupt leaders and participated in endsars. What a confused people
Funny how people read news and interpret it to suite their narrative. From what I read, Falana did not attribute the dead bodies to "Lekki massacre. Yet, some people are already crucifying him or glorifying him with Lekki massacre at the center. I tend to agree with him that many people died during the protests especially when criminals took over. Dead bodies were not uncommon in most parts of Lagos. Quite unfortunate that lives were lost.
Wickedfact: Not a bad job at all. But someone who was a vendor while alive, only for him to die and the family now hired Ozekhome. The money should have been used to set him up in business while alive. The family are very stupid people.
Don't be surprised it is ozhekome that called the family to do that. They may not pay him a kobo for a start. Of the money on demand, I am sure the same ozhekome must have agreed to take 50 percent or more.
Deepthoughts: It's the fault of the government, the police here are not given the authority they need to enforce the law, I'm sure if those police had kill those hoodlums Nigerian would have claim they hoodlums were innocent without investigation,the public would then go on rampage n the government will descend on the police officers,so to avoid all these problems since orders were not forthcoming the officers had to abandoned the stations for their safety, isn't it ironical that the primary duty of the police is to enforce the law n protect life n properties yet Nigerians do not want the police to use force but instead to be at their Beck and call,the description of police as public servant in Nigeria is very wrong,most times I just pity the police.
Very apt and sensible comment. If police had injured or killed any of those criminals, the same people calling them cowards will be all over here shouting police brutality. I am sure in the saner climes Nigerians like referencing, no one can try this nonsense attack on law enforcers and live to tell the story.
thesicilian: You know this and you continue to take so much pride in it?
It is a well known psychological fact that people of low IQ usually resort to offensive language when they don't understand the topic of discussion
No, for loosing the weapons in the first place in such a cowardly manner to unarmed/poorly armed hoodlums. Now they are parading the suspects as if they've carried out a heroic act, forgetting all the grief and sorrow they've caused various families in town by letting the hoodlums access to those guns.
What would you have them do in such a situation? A mass attack on a station that will probably be less than 10 personnel. If they injured or killed any of those guys, we will come here shouting police brutality again. And trust me if those guys caught any of them, they would have roasted them as they did others
obstead200: u did a 5 years course....as a student.
I have worked in the system, in a very strategic position that placed me very close to the school management. I think I should know better.
But there is no evidence to that. How many lecturers has been dragged by anti corruption agencies for mismanagement of University funds? These funds are never under their direct control hence you cannot hold them responsible. That is the more reason why what you are saying here is at the best in the realm of speculation and can hardly be substantiated. The revitalisation funds will never come under the control of ASUU so I wonder how they will corner it
obstead200: oga, quote me anywhere. 80% of whatever revitalisation funds released by the govt will end directly in the pockets of the lecturers. They will blackmail, harass and arm twist the VCs and the bursar's until this is done.
I have seen it happen several times.
Forget stories ASUU uses to screen their true intentions. The only thing they ALWAYS want is more money for Thier own pockets. Every other thing does not count for them.
I don't agree with you on this. I did a five year course in a public University and I understand what goes on. Lecturers will not harass the bursar or VC on anything. Mostly, the administrative staff comprising the VC and Bursar are the ones implicated in corruption cases. That aside, if ASUU harasses them on anything, don't they have channels to report it. For crying out loud, the NUC, ICPC and EFCC are there. How will the money get to ASUU? How much does ASUU get from, example TETFUND that has done at least some infrastructures on the campuses? If an incompetent VC is not capable of managing the funds given to his university, he should take the blame himself. Nobody should use ASUU as a scapegoat. And if the government cannot monitor these funds through their numerous anti corruption bodies, then government itself should not blame any one. As far as I am concerned, everything stops on the government table. Let them properly fund the universities, built infrastructures, pay lecturers well and stop grandstanding. Look at the countries you make reference to even in Africa and compared their education sponsorship with ours and you will understand.
obstead200: Without denying the fact that our politicians are very corrupt, I will categorically state that most agreements they enter with ASUU was done without due consultation and with self serving objectives. They usually rush into such agreements to hide their own corruption while boosting Thier political prospects. Now ASUU understands this fact about our useless politicians hence they capitalise on it to make ridiculous and bogus demands, which they would subsequently hold the govt to and start armtwisting them to get make a point. This is equally and specifically a very corrupt and unpatriotic thing to do. 2 wrongs do not make a right.
Read the above to get my perspective. The summary is that ASUU corruption is not the type where u can charge them to court since their is no provision for such in the criminal code. It is more moral than criminal. (It is like a lawyer's corruption. He is corrupt in such a way that his actions can cause grievious harm to his opponent and others, yet he is, strictly speaking, still operating within the ambits of the law.) This is just as bad as criminal corruption, in my opinion. When I say ASUU is corrupt, I am not even referring to their dealings with students. That one is another matter altogether.
You are still not making a clear and coherent point here. What is morally wrong about revitalisation fund for universities when we all know they are grossly underfunded? What is wrong about visitation panels to universities to assess their decayed infrastructures and other needs? What is wrong in trying to correct the proliferation of state universities while the established ones are not faring better than advance secondary schools? What about earned allowances? What is wrong about paying you your allowances you earned? Is not as if government is denying they earned it, they are outrightly owing them the allowances. Many times, people are bias towards ASUU for no just cause. You are accusing them of moral corruption but you cannot exactly fault them correctly on all there demands to government. Let us be objective here for once
