@AkaseAgabo@BusinessDayNg It’s part of why the West is light years ahead of us. Anything that threatens their national (economic) security is treated like terrorism/treason.
Until we start killing corrupt politicians &business men this country ain’t going nowhere!
Same problem is enabled by our customs
**If you are kidnapped in Nigeria, you are completely on your own. No security agency will save you.
"My nephew was kidnapped while I was SA to Vice President Shettima. I knocked on every door, entered every office, and gave them the exact coordinates of the location. They promised to help but couldn't. We spent ₦175 Million, including ransom, before he was released after 36 days in captivity. The security agencies couldn't help." - Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, brother to Datti Baba-Ahmed
@Wizarab10 For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE…
There’s no loving without giving (money, time, resources), man or woman. And a woman who sees you as husband-material will even borrow if she doesn’t have, to give to you.
Nigerian troops have killed suspected terrorist leader Kachalla Ibrahim Battijo and dismantled parts of his network during a coordinated operation in Kogi State.
@THESTATENEWSS@VusiThembekwayo if this isn’t xenophobia then I don’t know what else it is.
@NGRPresident when are the sanctions coming or at the very least a freezing of diplomatic relations?
Nigerians desperately need to stop this blunder of assuming our governors are stupid, grossly incompetent or somehow lacking in basic brainpower.
The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, may very well be corrupt, but he is neither incompetent nor stupid for launching this grand theatrical mass wedding featuring 3,000 couples.
To grasp the sheer genius of this scheme, you have to recognise that the budget for this extravaganza dictates the state government pays the mandatory dowry of ₦100,000 for each bride and provides an additional ₦100,000 grant per couple to help them start a small business, a petty trade, a neighborhood kiosk, or a joint venture.
The lion's share of this multi-billion Naira budget is not even handed over as traceable direct cash to the couples.
Instead, it will be miraculously spent on purchasing physical goods such as thousands of wooden beds, oversized wardrobes, thick mattresses, sewing machines, bags of rice, cartons of spaghetti, and flashy wedding attire for the couples.
You must be smoking something highly illegal if you think the supply contracts for these items will be awarded to genuine independent businesses, rather than shady proxy companies indirectly controlled by the state government and the highly placed Hisbah officials.
The logistics racket is where the real premium tears of joy are shed by the politicians. Mattresses and bed frames are incredibly heavy to move and they require rented heavy-duty trucks, expensive loading crews, massive storage warehouses, and armed security escorts.
Also, the couples undergoing medical screening will be housed, extensively fed, tested for HIV, screened for drug abuse, checked for genotype compatibility, transported back and forth, and thoroughly monitored.
Every single one of these line items will be shamelessly inflated, padded to the heavens, and mercilessly added to the final bill that the tax-paying public is forced to cough up.
When you zoom out and do a proper forensic analysis, you quickly realise these people are not intellectually challenged. They are systematically funneling billions of Naira that should have provided the people of Kano with functional hospitals, reliable primary schools, clean drinking water, paved roads, and CCTV cameras for state policing, straight into the deep pockets of government officials to buy private jets and luxury estates in Dubai.
What's even said is that, the very citizens whose futures are being looted into oblivion, instead of demanding a serious investigation, instead of assembling a crack team of accountants to x-ray the accounts where this public money flows, instead of auditing the fake supply invoices, instead of tracking the nepotistic subcontracts, they will just run to social media, type out a few angry emojis, and start calling the government stupid, misguided, or retrogressive.
How exactly does your lazy online name-calling help stop this monumental, meticulously planned, and spectacularly executed daylight robbery?
Remember this happened in 2015. Due to the desperation of APC, HE WAS BURNT ALIVE WITH HIS FAMILY SO THAT BUHARI WOULD BE DECLARED WINNER.
This is Alhaji Mukaila Abdulahi, the Former INEC Kano REC whose house was set ablaze after rejecting the 2015 APC Presidential Results of 1.9 Million Votes without a single void presented to him.
He was roasted Alive on the 3rd of April, 2015 with his Wife and two daughters by APC murderers.
Don't allow anybody to gaslight you.
APC is a terrorist organisation.
@DoubleEph@CatiaKyen I’m sure you know many people who need money yet won’t queue for such giveaway by bandits or even any other kind of giveaway (think Don Jazzy etc). How come those ones are able to put up such shield despite their lack/want? So, I doubt it’s ‘Nigerian culture’ succumbing to money
The Nigerian Police Force have rescued Adelabu's kidnapped family under 72H.
Under 3days.
46 children and their teachers, are still in captivity after 3 weeks.
If the entire workforce in Oyo state isn't occupying the streets next week - all of you are fools.
