BabaOwen:
What a senseless comment.

Mikehot:
Bandits have used Buhari ransom to buy guns.

This is the first time I am hearing them engaging top police in duel

BabaOwen:
Bandits have been engaging our security personnel even before GMB became the president. But, it started getting worst during GEJ tenure.

Mikehot:
To start with i can't remember the word bandits if it came up during gej tenure (even though it's a northern creation) let alone bandits getting the front burner of discussion, and negotiation

BabaOwen:
Then, you don't really listen to news back then. The Bandits have been robbing Fulani heardsmen for years now, just that they have now gotten bolder, they don't just steal cows now, they now take over communities and engage in kidnapping.

Mikehot:
lol, what is the difference between 6 and half a dozen?

If you stop getting high on camel urine Perphas you would start connecting the dots on why the supposed bandits have increased and are empowered under the administration of buhari (a southern could tame them, but their brother finds it difficult)

BabaOwen:
I no know say you be idiot, I 4 no reply your comment. I no go even read your next reply not to talk of replying it.

I don't think so. I trekked from Jigawa to Bornu, I never saw all these things. I think north is the safest place to be right now
