How do people lie conviniently to themselves and then try to make others believe such lies in the face of overwhelming evidence ?

I thought lie Muhammad is the one saddled with the responsibility of telling lies shamelessly in the face of contrary evidence ; but when ordinary citizens now take it upon themselves to paint a false picture of things , it calls for concern .

How can anybody confidently say Buhari’s government has done more for Nigeria security-wise compared to his predecessors ?

How ?

I was in the northwest in 2014 and most people living there will tell u for free that insurgency , banditry and religious/communal clashes that is now order of the day today was not heard of in the north west back then. In fact , students who were displaced by Boko haram in the north east were shared by Jonathan to north western states where they enjoy relative peace to continue their education fully paid by the govt while soldiers continue to fight the insurgents in the north east .

How can anybody now claim Buhari’s government has done well security wise ? Today we have gun wielding Fulani men kidnapping people not just in the north but places like Oyo , Ogun and even the east ( going by the account of the Methodist prelate that was kidnapped recently )

Omo ! I understand u might be living peacefully in Lagos , Dubai or any other part of the world u are , but the reality is clear as day . Today we have people going to church with guns and other weapons , we have communities paying bandits just to access their farms , we have bandits taking over major express roads and kidnapping people , we have bandits attacking trains and blowing rail lines with dynamites , we have bandits in hundreds attacking a major airport , in fact bandits even sacked the Nigerian military school and kidnapped officers without any hinderance .

Like some people actually can’t see Buhari’s government is a failure as far as security is concerned ?

Even Obi the messiah that was promised ran away from Anambra after his tenure to live in Lagos.

I bought this gen with 120k in 2019. I wanted to buy for my mum, I say make I go check price.

What kind of increase is this?

TrebleChamp:
That price is inflated by Konga, enter any Haier Thermocool store to get the real price. It should be around ₦200k plus sha

Let me give you an example of how bad the insecurity is.

Last month, I travelled from Lagos to Abuja by road.

Maybe I'm wrong, but no bus was willing to pass through Ibadan, Ife, Okene axis. No single one.

Their new route is Ore Akure, then they run the length and breadth of Ondo state before entering Kogi. A very long and tiresome journey.

Their reasons are just two.
1) The roads at Ekiti are bad. The driver told me if he passes it twice, he should be planning of buying another set of tires.

2) Insecurity. Kidnappings happen back to back there, especially at Kogi. So they resort to using this longer route that makes the fare more expensive

I paid 17,100 (GUO motors)

[b]Maybe if some of us left our houses and see some things for yourself, you'll understand how pathetic the issue [/b]is

izzou:


Is this supposed to make my point for me?

You clearly saw their fact as above 15,000 but you left it and bolded their gossip and rumours.

I don't understand

Oasis007:


There is no actual figure, everything is just speculation and assumption.

raumdeuter:


Well you have to put the interest of your state first and put the Amaechi vs Wike interest in the backburner. If something works for Amaechi then you should build on that and not just destroy or discard it for your own reasons

unemployed youths in a large number are dangerous to any society and wont even allow businesses or investment from serious people

donjazet:


Bobo, I have never seen this level of gaslighting in my life before.

These are evil and heartless bastards we're dealing with here.

You are a testament of a miracle here.

The only Yoruba Lagos boy who doesn't give a fvck about tribe and I think you need to be commended.

Thumbs up bro. I can imagine it's difficult for you to also rebuke them offline.

BlueRayDick:


The bolded is where the main issue lies . Most people do not leave their safe space and do not understand what other fellow Nigerians go through in this present day .

One of the reasons my colleague relocated was this insecurity issue when it came to close to home for him. His parents are from Igangan where Fulani massacred people in cold blood ( which was one of the reasons Sunday Igboho took up arms after series of Farmers/herders crisis ) . My guy was livid and that period and was always lamenting how security has collapsed in those places . He was scared it could’ve been one of those days he travelled to pay grandpa visit and he was caught in the middle of the madness .

When his grandpa died his parents had to hire tons private security and police officers for their guests for the wake keep and burial for the two days. Immediately after the burial alaye travelled out with his parent’s blessings ( despite being their only child still in Nigeria as at that time )

People do not understand the hell other Nigerians go through physically, financially and emotionally as a result of these security challenges

Oasis007:


To be fair, Buhari has done more to improving our Security Architecture than any of his Predecessors.

monerozi5590:
Oasis007, are you in Nigeria? Did you really say Buhari has improved security? God! I don't think we have had it this low before interms of security.

DW documentary did one series on our waterways. Its on YouTube.

Check it out and you'll know what you read is underrepresented.

Oasis007:


I recently travelled to Abuja as well. I followed GIGM, 17500. Do you know why they are avoiding Ibadan? Traffics. The ongoing Lagos Ibadan Expressway is causing serious Traffics in Ibadan, not because of Insecurity.

On my return, I joined a Sienna from Utako Motor Park to Osogbo, Osun State. We passed through Ekiti and the Road ain't that bad, though too narrow and quiet.

We barely saw police checkpoints, and it's because of the Numbers.... so poor. We need to recruit massively.

izzou:


Buhari met the police force before he became president. The challenge was already there before he came on board.

7 years later, you're still making the same case for him. Why?

If anybody wins in 2023, he's to fix the problem,
and not tell us what he saw there

I finished service and started my life in 2015.

I have worked in 3 firms. The first I resigned. The second was a bank and I resigned too. The third was an engineering firm and they retrenched us because they couldn't pay anymore.

I was jobless and decided to drive on Uber. I drove 3 cars and two of them are on NL. My last partner was a guy in the UK. I have never met him or seen his Pictures. He sent me a pm, gave me his address in Lagos, and gave me his Hyundai Elantra to drive.

When the car jacking issues were rising then, my family pressured me to stop and I refused. It was intense and I had to drop that car. The guy was really sad but that part ended.

I decided to enter into automobile spare parts, and that's where I am now. Its lucrative, but we the small scale ones can barely stay afloat because of how the naira is falling.

When I drag this government, its not for banters. I know where it affects me. I don't need to read online to know if Buhari is working. I see it everyday in my hustle. I know what it takes to make 1,000 profit.

So if this government is favouring anybody, don't interpret is as a theory. People who drag them have their stories too

If you check the link I sent earlier, you will notice it was reported that piracy has dropped from massively from 2020 to 2021, when 2022 figure releases, we can then compare and contrast.

I think you're not getting my point.

That link is probably drawing its data from routes to Lagos. It would have few to draw from other Ports in the country because vessels rarely go there.

So as long as Lagos waterways are safe, the stats would be good.

I don't really know how to explain it

I implore all the Obidients to speak up loudly and challenge this wicked act of gaslighting. Speak up!!!

Vent your anger at this soulless people. Tribal Nazis, party agents, paid-propagandists.
We rebuke all of them.

Baba, the way you're going about this isn't healthy.

Don't make this about bashings and bants.

You can vent your anger without insulting anybody, afterall we all have the freedom to choose anybody.

We all are first human beings before we assumed any tribe. Nobody choose his tribe before birth. So, you shouldn't let any stone thrown at you, get to you

I understand you're angry, but please don't let it be a contest.

Relax, and collectively, APC would be retired at the Presidency

izzou:


Lagos is the only fully operational one.

Lagos is where all shipping lines prefer. If you build a deep sea port in Maiduguri, they won't go.

So, the FGs attention is focused here since the vessels don't want to try other places
