No 1 is very correct.

No 2 is very wrong.

"“Officers In Charge (of prisons) deliberately keep inmates’ numbers high so they can claim more money for their feeding,” a prison source said asking not to be named as he has no permission to talk to journalists. “In connivance with Police DPOs, they arrest vulnerable people, go to court, and remand them in custodial centres.”" Directly from the article

Dismissive replies show how heartless some of you are and that you did not read the article. 1: Criminals do not deserve to die from disease, that was not their sentence nor what the punishment should be. 2: The article clearly states that many inmates are imprisoned there on false charges so prison officials can loot the allocations, so many are completely innocent

It is a tortoise. It's a bit concerning that you ate something that you didn't even know the name of though

Are the winners going to occupy the position for another 4 years or how does it work by our constitution? Someone please educate me.

The winners will hold their positions until the next elections in 2023.

Story.

Whatever happened to herd immunity?

Herd immunity will come when a large percentage of the world is vaccinated (at least 80% for the Delta variant - depends on further study though). Only 32.2% of the world is fully vaccinated so herd immunity hasn't begun yet against COVID. There is pretty strong herd immunity against other illnesses, which is why there aren't commonly massive measles or rubella epidemics.

The "disease" has 99.9% chances of survival with no Vaccine.

So what exactly is the noise about getting vaccinated all about?

0.1% of 8 billion is 8,000,000 people. If everyone getting vaccinated can save even a tenth of those, it's worth it.

But not when the pandemic is a man made PLANdemic developed in Wuhan lab...

even if it was from a lab, that doesn't mean you just let people die from it

i completely agree that seated should be reserved for women but create them from the current number until legislator expenses are lessened

michaelwilli:

Why didn't they share the palliatives then? Now they suddenly care about people's safety.

Because they’re corrupt bastards that stole palliatives for themselves and they don't care about people's safety, they just know that fewer people dying is good for their re-election campaigns. But fewer people dying is also good for everyone so they should make vaccines compulsory.

cappyolu:
Why do you care so much about keeping everyone safe. Vaccine is meant to protect you from getting an infection but this is clear, it won’t protect you from getting it and haven’t you heard at after you take the second jab you still come for booster shots because they realize that their program failed. I pray it doesn’t get to making it mandatory. I’ll have to leave my workplace.

Vaccines work, the vast majority of serious cases are in unvaccinated people. The vaccine is meant to protect you from getting hurt and it's working. plus "Why do you care so much about keeping everyone safe" is simple: I don't want more people to die, i don't care if I'll never know those people but I don't want them to die.

Natural immunity is the answer.

Natural immunity is what has been keeping you going since the SCAMdemic became official in March 2020.

Vaccines boosts natural immunity, helping our immune systems fight diseases. That's why Smallpox has been finished and polio is rare. Natural immunity isn't enough to stop pandemics as shown by the millions that have died in them.

Pretty much none of these quotes say that the states will never have compulsory COVID-19 vaccination, they just say that the states aren't planning it right now. I hope they and all states eventually make the vaccine compulsory, it's the only way to keep everyone safe.

How are ministries supposed to be held to fiscally responsible spending when the auditing office can’t even spend appropriately

But why should it matter? If the PIB fiasco is anything to go by, you see how easily a particular region can use their numbers to always favor them.

I don't think it should be so

As far as I'm concerned, the large state can use thier numbers to decide the executive, but I think when it comes to lawmaking, just a representative per state will suffice, irrespective of size

Lawmaking, in an ideal world, is just as important as the executive and the executive cannot get their budgets or projects funded without the legislature so both should use the system of majority rule. That already happens with the presidency as one needs 50% to win but for the legislature (unless the electoral system is changed), it is vital that each district have the same population. The state have very different populations and that should be reflected in the amount of seats each state has. Take for example Bayelsa (around 2 mil pop.) and Rivers (around 7 mil pop): if both elected the same number of representatives, then Rivers voters would have three and a half times less influence then Bayelsa voters. It would not be democratic to allow such a massive deviation in voter power for such an important body.

Ironically Biafra isn't an Ijaw word or even an African word, it's named after the Portuguese city of Mafra.

I support a unicameral legislature but having every state have the same number is nonsense. There is no democracy if a state with a small population has the same number of legislators as a state three times its population.

This is wrong. Fellow Christians simply ask yourself how you would feel if this was the Government of Kebbi State or somewhere deciding to put exams on Easter or Christmas. This shouldn’t be allowed, it's a public holiday

If true, this explanation makes sense but for press conferences it would make more sense to also have Igbo and Yoruba speakers as well

This really shouldn’t be a big deal, it's one word that means the same thing. Not everything needs to be a fight

This could not more clearly be a piece paid for by the candidate. This is laughable

Why should anyone be able to go without questioning? I am completely in favor of giving women equal ministerial positions and recognize that having previous experience as a lawmaker may be important for a cabinet post, but no one should become a minister without answering a few questions.

SMH!! can't you see that this is a distant shot of the building?? he took his own pictures at the foot of the building!!

I don't think you get what I am trying to say. His posing and caption are implying that the building in the background is the Burj Khalifa. It looks like he is purposefully trying to mislead people that have not seen the Burj Khalifa so that he would not have to wait in line to take a photo with the actual building.

Sermwell:

look at this ignoramus!!! so the man doesn't know where he took the picturess abi??

Yes, the Burj Khalifa looks nothing like this building.

This is not the Burj Khalifa, it is a nearby building.

Foolish idea that would only make it worse

Every member of the parliament is elected. The issue of unelected group does not arise. The leader of the party with the majority of MPs or the coalition of parties with the majority becomes the prime minister. It is quite straightforward.
The type of drama playing out right now with Saraki and APC is an unnecessary waste of time and money. It is impossible in a parliamentary system.

Yes, every member of the parliament is elected. However, being an elected MP is not a requirement for serving in the cabinet or even as Prime Minister. In Italy, the current Prime Minister is an unelected man (Giuseppe Conte) that very few in the country even knew of until months after the election. Also, there must be a head of state how would you suggest that position be filled?? We do not have a suitable monarch and if there is an executive president that would defeat the purpose. The only other option is a ceremonial president, however, look at Sri Lanka where the country has been through weeks of turmoil because of a power struggle between the president and prime minister. How could a parliamentary system cause anything but more chaos.

Shameful this should never happen

Can Giwa just leave already give up man
