With the current trend of insecurity in Anambra state.Would you support the return of the conventional security outfit "bakassi boys" since the police have failed us?

No!

$osisi:

No!

Osisi, onwere umunna gi ndi bakassi gburu? ---------
As for me, I want them to be re-organised immediately.

BAKASSI MOTTO:- The wages of sin is death!!!

I loved the idea of Bakassi when it was initially introduced in the east. Those guys brought back a high sense of security and balance to south easterners; Abia and Anambra in particular. A citizen could walk the streets of these states at any time without fear.
People who had blood in their hands seldom come down south, while those who dared; paid the untimate price for their sins. A notorious pastor; Eddy Okereke and the police nightmare; DERICO, were cut into pieces by the Bakassi boys.
Bad diasporans were inquiring from their friends and relatives back home whether the Bakassi magic detects somebody who has killed a white man.

The Bakassi boys carried out their barbaric yet generally accepted acts diligently until it was politicized. Politicians started using the vigilante group to harass their opponents. News had it that they began taking bribes, witch-hunting, intimidating innocent people and killing indiscriminately.
Factions emerged and the rest became history.

Having noted the significance of Bakassi in those days, it will be cowardly, immature and foolish of Nigerians to suggest such an archaic and barbaric method which could be filled with mistakes and overshadowed by sentiments to seek for security and justice in 2009. We have come of age where we can collectively demand from our government to build strong and effective law and enforcement institutions that can maintain security all over Nigeria. We should demand from the government affordable education, healthcare, electricity and employment as these will reduce crime drastically.
We should also call for the re-orientation, well equipped and well paid Armed forces.

Yes.

Introduce Bakassi today and by next tomorrow all the kidnappers, ritualists and armed robbers would have fled Anambra.

We should support whatever works and when the bad guys are out of town you can then talk about monitoring them or reducing their powers.

Or, are people really comfortable with the nonsense going on in Anambra state right now?

Afam:

Not at all, but knowing how power intoxicates an average nigerian; especially the touts, would we be willing to leave our fate in the hands of these touts for a short term goal or stand up and demand for a comprehensive over haul of the security system which will benefit us in the long run?

Whatever it takes to bring back normalcy to the state will make perfect sense.

You are in China and want Nigerians to stand up and demand for comprehensive over haul of the security system while people are kidnapped, maimed, robbed and killed by these people and you oppose the only thing they fear and dread to be introduced to the state at this juncture?

We should be careful on what we wish for.

And yes am in China for now but that does not mean that I have not participated in some peaceful protests in nigeria.
I will be happy if you and your friends joined us as we peacefully protest on 1st of October in Lagos.
All these ills in the society will definitely be on the decline if there is efficient power supply.

Let us go for the long run once and for all. This is the 21st century.

Light up Nigeria!

YES AND NO

Dont call it Bakassi Boys

Call it the Anambra state Voluntary Police Service. ASVPS

You can provide on the service police training no JUJU but Human intelligence.

No no no...they are devil

No!!!
