Sometimes, it seems that Nigerians don't really want a change, that they only like to complain.

The government has a role to play and the masses also have a role to play. But, many times, the masses just stay there and blame the government. That's one big thing that is wrong with Nigeria. A bitter truth though.

how are Nigerians responsible for BVN and NIN not being able to be used to track and catch kidnappers as promised by the government?

what has the masses blaming government got to do with governments inability to NIN and BVN to prevent kidnappers frm having a filed day as government had promised?

Una never see anything.
Even to play for naming ceremony u not go go again.
If u get that kind money why not carry escorts?


Kogi is a notorious place for bandits..

that obajana area is where governor yahaya bello gave fulanis land to settle then. and now this.

This were absolutely true
. They are all my neighbor
Thank God for safety return, it's not easy, fear catch me as we sidon dey gist about their ordeal, pray not to engage kidnappers oooo

December alone, three ordeal happened all in kogi state, obajana sid around dangote cement plant.

The kidnappers were all wearing military(army) uniform, so beware my people, not all those in checkpoint wearing service uniform are all real!!!

91 metres.... No be chyse.
Thank God for una lives.

I dey tell you.

Police can not do their if citizens continue to present false information.
We don't know when they were kidnapped but we know when they were released.

seborrhic:
Where did this urchin see ₦91m?
Clown!

Don't mind him. That is Nigeria for you, from budget padding, its now ransom padding.

UNDFTD:


I totally understood your comment and I was NOT disagreeing with you but rather in agreement with you. I was only saying that the government is NOT serious in fighting insecurity!

The shocker is that they work with some of our security agents, I can testify of that. The day my brother in-law want to report to police that they have raised the ransom money, so that they can make arrangements on how to capture the kidnappers, before he could got home, they called him and details all the conversations he had with the police to him and warned him not to try it again if he want her enemies alive.

StrongAlphMale:
In a sane country, Tinubu and shitima would have since resigned for massive failure and corruption

When your brother GEJ was the president and his vice them no resign.

I bet they were taken to okebukun forest after obajana cement factory that's the same place they kept my mother and 3 others when they were kidnapped....the amount we paid till now we are yet to recover in my family.

Thank God for your lives tho. The amount of weapons in that forest the whole police force in kogi won't dare enter the place.

He asked what is wrong with Nigeria and I'm telling him ONE THING that's wrong which is the remote cause of this. The masses don't usually play the role of forcing the govt to be as accountable as they should. Does it make sense now?

There you have it! So, it's very disingenuous of the government to come out publicly and act like they are serious about trying to STOP kidnappings. It's very sad but i blame the citizens because as bad as they know things are and that Nigeria would NEVER work, a lot of them still believe that one day God would wave a magic wand and Nigeria would be great. ASnd for that reason, they belive in One Nigeria and want the country to remain as it is.

IamANigerianMan:

But we fought cashless , this is one of those thing cashless would have solved , the only thing Nigeria would have fought is to make other channel of transaction like POS, mobile etc to work not to drop the policy

IMF agent.
I hope you know that cashless was for control.
If you agitate or you are a threat to the establishment...FIAM! Your money is blocked , you won't do any transactions, and they can even extend it to your close relatives.

That was the real reason.

As for me, another proof that Nigeria is not a country and she doesn't have a government.

shegzee43:


May you not be kidnapped! That's all I can say

Shut up!
Corrupt politicians and yahoo boys have made you people think ₦90m is something you just go to the bank and raise at the tip of your finger.
How was it moved and who collected it?
If he had said ₦9m,I would believe,but to tell me ₦91m was raised at the flip of a hat makes me very suspicious and my thinking is that he mentioned that sum so that sympathizers would then raise the funds as a means of compensation

Your brain is dead so if government want your account block now they would not do it.... Very stupid reasoning

Can you imagine.. these criminals will never change and it is possible that security agents are supporting them logistically .. how did they raise 91m cash and paid to kidnappers without being caught by those that are stationed on the high way . All we see them doing is collecting money from the drivers even when they carry overloading .. their interest is their personal revenue . We must have a special task force who will be going around to arrest the security agents who are found culpable on the high way .. including road safety men that permits overloading

When are our security forces going to get serious and be professional in Nigeria. When are they going to end kidnapping for ransom.

Kidnapping for ransom should be easy to bust by bugging the ransom money with electronic GPS devices then they send weaponised drone to the location the same night to bomb everyone at the place.

What is wrong is that a country with multi ethnic nationalies cant run a unitary security system. This is wrong, Nigeria will continue to bleed because all her problem even from the first civil war has been about ethnic issue.
Why cant we just accept this? We can still live as one country but allow regions have total control of their security, borders, etc. This way, they can manage their security by them selves. The current security system has been compromised due to ethnic intetested. It is deep. Nigeria is finished.
Make una continue to be dragging ethnic pride of na my ethnic person dey rule. This guy who was kidnapped, his tribe is ruling Nigeria. This means that it doesnt matter whose tribe is ruling.
Nigeria has a fualty system. It is too large to be managed by a centralized security and government system.
Everything comes from Abuja as long as economy, and security is concerned. This is wrong.
Security should be decentralized down to the smallest village and let them handle sophiscated weapons and not the useless weapons u give to vigillantee. Omo, It is a pity that the masses will continue to pay for this until the masses them selves rise up to demand an end to the current system of govt which pays only thhe ruling class. We are all cowards.

Well said.

Na wa o, I know these guys and the amount mentioned has been unnecessarily inflated..

It's not true, I know the band,i even contributed money when a crowd funding was raised.. The money wasn't even one quarter of the stated..


Why they chose to inflate the figure is what I don't understand.

Thank you.
I didn't need to even have anyone verify the story for me to know it's a big lie.
If you have dealth with the average Nigerian you would know how their mindset works and how they operate;every opportunity is seen as a way to make some money.
There is no doubt some stories may be true,but the simple trick is: does the maths add?Is the time frame for the events to occur possible?Look at the assumed worth of the person or group and then look at the possibilities of getting the amount of money mentioned in that time frame from donors or sources to the kidnappers.If the maths and those things don't add,then it's a bloody lie no matter the curses you receive and anyone trying to guilt trip you into praying not to be a victim one day.
One bloody imp even wished I don't witness such just because I tried pointing out the fraud in their claims.
Like the typical Nigerian that knows or sees his pastor doing wrong but you are told that you shouldn't call him out because he is a "M.O.G"!

One Nigeria is a big scam, that is what kept us where we are till now. Nigeria will not make any meaningful progress until we disintegrate.

Kidnapping now seems to be a booming business in Nigeria these days, and the Police have absolutely no answer to it. When it's not. Like we are in Mexico or Columbia where they run kidnapping rings.. imagine free N91m for doing just nothing other than holding someone against their will. It won't stop because no one is doing anything about it. Once the kidnap you, you pay random and you're released. The cycle goes on and on.

Exactly Bro..

I still do not understand why they inflated the figure.. I do not want to say now much was collected per head. But that amount is outrageously inflated..

I can't agree more with you that "One Nigeria" is a big SCAM coined by the British to deceive the citizens. There's absolutely nothing ONE about Nigeria, otherwise, you do NOT need to say "One Nigeria." Could you tell me any other country on this God's green earth that has a prefix "ONE" attached before the country's name? You have never heard Ghanaians or Kenyans say "One Ghana or One Kenya," and NOT even the British, who came up with the deceptive term, refer to themselves as "One United Kingdom."

Clown!

Please, don't underplay the misery of others. If you cannot empathize, you could keep quiet. What these men went through was gruesome & I don't wish it for even my enemies.

What I still don't understand is, how do these large suns of money change hands and no SINGLE law enforcement agency can trace where they went

Yet, in this great country we have Police, NSCDC, DSS, Army, Navy, Air force etc - and some of our law enforcement officers are reputed to be the best in the world.

It's mind boggling!

Western law enforcement will normally mark this bills and wait for the money to start showing up
