I don't know why the government can not stand up and solve these kidnappings problem on our highways once and for all. I am not tagging any tribe as behind this heinous act. We cant conclude that just because some Yorubas engage in rituals to judge all Yorubas as a ritualist or assume that all Igbos are drug dealers base on some criminals are apprehended in some Asian countries for drug related offences.
The same goes to the Fulanis. We can't call them kidnappers just because some of them are.
Crime doesn't have boundaries but people commit crimes. The solution.

1) The federal government should ban all open grazing in Nigeria and encourage ranching or allow states to determine if they allow grazing or not in there respective states. Doing this, any group of people found in the bush with arms will be arrested and prosecuted.

2) There should be regular aerial patrol by the air force to monitor all federal roads and the surrounding forests from the skies to make our roads safer for travel.

3) A special anti kidnapping unit should be established from the army to work in conjunction with the air Force and the police, well trained and equiped to comb all the forests in Nigeria to fish out and engage these kidnappers.

4) Government should create jobs for the youths and Nigerians in general to reduce unemployment rate in the Country.

5) All bad portions of federal roads should be repaired because most of these kidnappings often take place at these bad portions.

6) Our gun laws should be amended to give life in prisonment for possession, trafficking or manufacturing of guns or individuals should be allowed to carry weapons to protect themselves but I don't think Nigeria is ripe for this now.

Contribute to this piece if you are not a racist, fundamentalist or a religious bigot. I rest my case.

@point no. 4,

Govt isn't suppose to create jobs directly but provide enabling conditions for business to flourish and create jobs.
That won't happen if they keep planning how to do Ruga with poultry tax. You cannot tax farmers and use the money to set up ranches for their competition. I I

I disagree with number 4 and 6

Government can only create enabling environment for jobs.

Number 6, I believe everyone has the right to protect themselves. The criminals will always get guns illegally if you make owning guns illegall.
