meeting the kidnapper with a fiercer fire power is the only thing that can crush them.let the sss and military intelligence provide the intelligence while the infantry soldier and police can invade them.that is the only way this kidnapping issue can reduce drastically.sometimes fire brigade approach seems to be the perfect answer.

Fire brigade doesn't work. Kidnapping might be more rampant in the SE, but it happens all over the country. There will be little stopping the kidnappers from started afresh in virgin territory in other states if home becomes too hot, they don't need offices. Will we deploy the army across the country when we aren't at war?

There must be reasons why kidnapping is catching on like a flame; those reasons are better dealt with. Like I said earlier, you can't treat headache in the hope of curing malaria.

democracy seems to tolerate the excesses of youths who hide under some struggles to commit crime.we can copy some good aspects of the military in crime fighting without harming democratic values,nigeria laws are too subtle for criminals.

Well the money will probably be divided amongst their family members and their village. When people are starving and there are no jobs, then crime rises.

You guys are supposed to be the business men of Nigeria why no jobs for you people? nonsense. . .

Some posts here irritate me.
We look at Igbos and the Igbo land as a place outside Nigeria.

Every Nigerian state and city has her own pites and worries.
But we must not forget that it takes turns. We all need to be considerate of millions who are not favoured by this crime of kidnapping. These are also crying. But the difference here is that they are saying that the police is not doing it right.

Go to Aba and monitor the police closely.
Just yesterday I was in Aba. Riot almost set off as the police stabbed a motorist for not giving him N20.

If there is anything that should embarrass us it should be things like this (it should be things like Crimes in uniforms).
So under the condition that the police is demanding money like tolls from the motorists, how would they concentrate on this assignments of fighting crime?

The police collects N20 from motorists and the JTF collect N50.
Men, lets be frank, there is no sincereity in the way the government intends fighting crime in Nigeria. The government may well have a share in these toll collections, period

The south east is over due for state of emergency,this is too much,

So kidnapping is now worse than murder? They should first declare state of emergency in the North because human life is more important than mere abduction.

This is why Nigeria is on the list of failed states. In what developed country (even fellow African country) have you heard of the military being deployed to do police work?

The 'Little Rock Nine' was a group of African-American students who were enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. The ensuing 'Little Rock Crisis', in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, and then attended after the intervention of President Eisenhower, is considered to be one of the most important events in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. On their first day of school, guards at the school would not let them in and they were followed by mobs making threats to lynch.[1]
The U.S. Supreme Court issued its historic Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, 347 U.S. 483, on May 17, 1954. The decision declared all laws establishing segregated schools to be unconstitutional, and it called for the desegregation of all schools throughout the nation.[2]
After the decision the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) attempted to register black students in previously all-white schools in cities throughout the South. In Little Rock, the capital city of Arkansas, the Little Rock School Board agreed to comply with the high court's ruling. Virgil Blossom, the Superintendent of Schools, submitted a plan of gradual integration to the school board on May 24, 1955, which the board unanimously approved. The plan would be implemented during the fall of the 1957 school year, which would begin in September 1957. By 1957, the NAACP had registered nine black students to attend the previously all-white Little Rock Central High, selected on the criteria of excellent grades and attendance.[3] The nicknamed "Little Rock Nine" consisted of Ernest Green (b. 1941), Elizabeth Eckford (b. 1941), Jefferson Thomas (b. 1942), Terrence Roberts (b. 1941), Carlotta Walls LaNier (b. 1942), Minnijean Brown (b. 1941), Gloria Ray Karlmark (b. 1942), Thelma Mothershed (b. 1940), and Melba Beals (b. 1941). Ernest Green was the first African American to graduate from Central High School.

[edit]National Guard blockade

Several segregationist councils threatened to hold protests at Central High and physically block the black students from entering the school. Governor Orval Faubus deployed the Arkansas National Guard to support the segregationists on September 4, 1957. The sight of a line of soldiers blocking nine black students from attending high school made national headlines and polarized the city. Regarding the accompanying crowd, one of the nine black students, Elizabeth Eckford, recalled "they moved closer and closer , Somebody started yelling , I tried to see a friendly face somewhere in the crowd — someone who maybe could help. I looked into the face of an old woman and it seemed a kind face, but when I looked at her again, she spat on me."[4] On September 9, "The Council of Church Women" issued a statement condemning the governor's deployment of soldiers to the high school and called for a citywide prayer service on September 12. Even President Dwight Eisenhower attempted to de-escalate the situation and summoned Governor Faubus to meet him. The President warned the governor not to interfere with the Supreme Court's ruling.[5]
[edit]Armed escort

The next day, Woodrow Mann, the Mayor of Little Rock, asked President Eisenhower to send federal troops to enforce integration and protect the nine students. On September 24, the President ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock and federalized the entire 10,000 member Arkansas National Guard, taking it out of the hands of Governor Faubus. The 101st took positions immediately, and the nine students successfully entered the school on the next day, Wednesday, September 25, 1957.

For your information, blacks in the US were only given the right to vote in 1965, 8 years after the racist event you gleefully point out. . . But you were born daft with a plank between your ears.
So you want us to do what America did in 1957 long before any of us here was born? You ain't one of us anyway, so I can only blame NL for allowing gutter folk like you on here.
