SINCERELY, I rushed into the thread to see one. I am not his fan but i have been curious to learn about his tenure in Anambra as a Governor. There is next to nothing about achievements he had then.

They say crisis is a sleeping dog, and curse be upon whomever awakens her.

The south east don't know these Cubs they play with today will turnout to be monsters tomorrow. Learn from the Northeast. You may start it but once it takes on a life of it's own then there is no stopping it

How would anyone that knows Dubai think this is Dubai. we Nigerians are easily excited.

It's good no doubt but not as good

common

A Yoruba boy fleeing boko haram? The trajectory of such a movement will be like Maiduguri to Lagos, not Lagos to Los Angeles
But what do I know

myglodata:
very unfortunate.

I tell you

Racoon:

And some parents confidently enrolled their children in this desert in order to acquire education?

Even the communities are not saved from these bandits. The poverty ravaged parents maybe couldn't afford any better and not educating their children was not an option

Racoon:
This place is not fit for any educational activities but simply a hood or fortress for the bandits/terrorists to make their habitation.

The place is not even fit for animals to be kept there (you need a fence at least, where you keep animals. This "school" has none )

@lalasticlala abi how do you spell his name. Please push to FP let the world see the rot in our government schools

The most heartbreaking part is we the citizens are not outraged at such wanton cruelty meted out against us by our leaders through pilfering and plundering our commonwealth

And yet the Federal government delegation did not even visit the site of the incident. but only stayed in the cozy government house in minna for photo ups.

I believe our leaders are the real security threats to this nation. How can a government allow children to board in such conditions

JackStephans:
And what stupid quiteness are you talking about...? Una never see nothing yet. U just Getting a taste of your own medicine. Fanatics

That's a pretty strong word you've got at the end there. it is more reflective of you than anyone you accuse of it... Just listen to yourself

Mikecold:
Does it change the fact fulani herdsmen are killing

Does it change the fact fulani herdsmen carry guns

Do it change the fact fulani herdsmen do all those practices to cows

Yes it does. it is this lack of methodology in dissecting issues and profering tailor made solutions that makes our continent what it is today.

Let me leave there. you do the deep thinking.

criuze:
do you see any Ak 49 there

No those pictures are also from the east African conflict where the Massai tribesmen arm themselves against bandits and cattle rustlers.

This conflict in east Africa started at the turn of the millennium, yet 20 years down the lane the same template is playing out in Nigeria... curious, isn't it

LMS1:
OP Seeing Is Believing.
And Am Sure U Haven't Been To Any Rural Settlement In The North To See Wonders For Your Self.

Actually I have or should I say I am. The Ruga settlements are abound here

I think Nairalad.com needs to do something about fake news being circulated here without any form of fact checking. Some one ed a video of a herder bathing in cow urine, and implied it was the Nigerian Fulanis and its amplified to the front page hook, line and sinker
First of the person is dressed more like an east African Massai tribesman than a Nigerian. Secondly the practice of urine baths is more common in India where cows are idolized.

So these video reeks of red flags yet the mods just post such offensively tagged, racist video to the front page.

If he opposes the protest Nigerians complain, if he s them Nigerians still complain. We are our worst enemy, we are never objective.

You should know that there are people who the right to protest but oppose trampling on other people's rights to free movement - it's not rocket science

I have watched with utmost iration the steady and gradual progression of this project to its completion. Ordinarily this is just another project if this was a normal clime, but after the politics played by various past istrations using this project, and its economic multiplier effects on the south eastern economy of the country; the project has attained a "larger than life" status.

The Buhari istration has completed a major project - lagos-ibadan rail line in the south west within one istration (something we thought was impossible)

The istration is on the verge of completing the second niger bridge (a commendable feat)

As a Northerner I am yet to identify any such real, major project in the north (started and completed/being completed). The mambila dam is bugged in legal and funding stalemate, we all know the so called kano-maradi line is a long thing, just like the baro port commissioned and abandoned. rather we are plagued with insecurity and unemployment in the North.

While Buhari will go down as the best civilian president "infrastructurally" to have happened to the country (argue with yourself) as far as the North is concerned he is warming up to be the worst in all aspect. But he still has about 2 years to change that.

Do people read these days at all...
Emirates airlines crossed our local lines and they were sanctioned by FG. The UAE government then retracted and towed our line and the sanction was lifted. Common guys above... READ

No doubt!!

not so

why are we like this in this country. I have always said it and will continue to say it - let's up our standards as citizens (in this case the journalist reporting this) and the standard at the top leadership will also have no option other than improve.

Let me ask of what benefit is the pictures of those cutting tapes to this story. rather let us get:
pictures of the facility
details of its capacity
what improvements in metric has the new one got over the last one...
and other useful information

APC will use the purge in America as a reference. They sure know how to do it. Those who are masturbating that they banned trump from all the social media shouldn't cry foul when the Nigerian government will use this as a reference to ban on social media in nigeria

Hence my 3rd point. We cant just sit by and do nothing. We have seen the role false media played in the Rwandan genocide, we have also seen what a laissez faire approach to regulation can produce with the 2008 global financial crisis which brought the world to her knee financially. Are willing to wait for a catastrophe brought about by selfish self regulation of social media or the lack of it?

It's no secret that most conservative social media s are being targeted for suspension or outright ban based on claims they enabled falsehood and hatred.
There is deafening silence from the vocal oppositions to nigerian social media bill given America's censorship of her social media and their eagerness to "report" Nigeria to America.

The hipocracy of it all is that America would have been in the forefront of condemning such censorship if it was done by another country. 3 things come to play here-

1. Americans have handed regulation of the social media to the tech companies them selves. Self regulation is a recipe for disaster anywhere.

2. No where is social media regulation more needed than here in Nigeria especially for censorship and penalizing deliberate peddling of falsehood as we saw in the END SARS campaign and its destructive aftermath to the Lagos economy

3. We must learn from the above by creatively enacting regulations that not allow self regulation by the tech giants and also has enough checks and balances to avoid abuse by any government

This is marvellous. With Kano and Kaduna leading the way with infrastructure I hope they also develop a master plan for human capital development.

North central states please wake up.

Professor Sheka! I didn't read the article but hus picture alone brought back memories.

He once asked 300 level students to read and summarise the entire chapter of Anna koutsoyiannis "Modern Microeconomics" as an assignment because he believed his students were PDP sympathisers (they stole his ANPP emblem from his office)

Crieff:


I don't believe this is Nigeria!

Guy Truth is stranger than fiction. I did not believe myself until I had a youth corper from that village serve in my office. She told beautiful stories of how heavy duty trucks cant get to villages at the highest altitudes and how their lives and food is so natural and in sync with nature.

imagine opening your window and being greeted by clowds! Google Gembu village in Taraba (It is over 1,300 metres above sea level, Lagos is less than 70 metres above sea level)

mansakhalifa:


You want my opinion, OP?

They should turn this particular oasis into a protected zone. Like a kind of conservation zone.

If they have others like this, then they can turn them into 'Desert resorts'.

As for this particular one, I am looking at, no way. It must be protected at all costs from human interference. It's way too beautiful to be destroyed simply because someone wants to generate income for the government.

Leave it the way it is or better still, protect it from human interference.

I've given up waiting on government, they lack foresight. I think the little I can do on my own part is to generate awareness. Las Las, if our wicked generation fail to appreciate and protect nature, we shall perish and nature will evolve (as it always had)
