They can't
I am getting tired of educating people who have learning difficulties.
UK or any other country can expelled foreigners from their country. UK can decide to expel all EU citizens if a Brexit deal is not reached. What will discourage UK from taking such action is the reciprocal action by EU, who will in turn expel all UK citizens from the EU.
Brussels uneasy over EU citizens’ rights after Brexit
Brussels has warned the UK it will be vigilant in policing Britain’s respect for EU citizens’ rights, saying Britain must honour the obligations of the divorce deal that will end the country’s membership of the bloc at the end of this month.

Thanks for this good question , those guys up there are crazy hypocrites. Isbah, civilian JTF and Arewa, are these organizations legal to combat insecurity in the north?So Southwest should keep folding harms till herdsmen kill every one in the region.

Well i did not see your post where you said anything against hisbah. I have known you to be defending hisbah with vigour since I noticed you.

I am glad you are educated, so we can debate on an intellectual level instead of emotional level, without the use of threats, intimidation and innuendos. My problem with you is that you are sometimes dishonest. You view issues from your narrow perspective and not care about how issues affect others. I call that entitlement mentality.

Don't misunderstand me. I supported Buhari 100%, I did two years schooling in sokoto in the late 80s and fell in love with sokoto and northerners. When I was in sokoto, I did not feel threatened, I drank beer when I wanted to (but in a private bar or private space), I worshiped in a church when I felt like (all the churches were on Ahmadu bello road ), although I hate pork, no one threatened me from eating it. In fact when I was leaving one of my fulani friend offered to give me a goat as a parting gift. That was love.

Today, the story is different, I would not go back to sokoto for a million dollars. There is so much religious intolerance. You guys now want to impose your beliefs and lifestyle on others.

Now, what seperated an hisbah Police from amotekun? Are you saying if I steal or commit murder, hisbah Police will not arresting me? They may not have the powers to prosecute me, but they will effect the arrest, using violence if need be. They arrest people selling and drinking beer, they arrest men and women in hotel rooms.

You are away that there is a huge security challenge in the southwest and the south as a whole. Farmers are having difficulty earning their livelihood, due to cattle grazing and attacked by fulani herdsmen, and these have been going on for decades with increasing intensity. The federal government has either been complicit, incompetence or non challant, what do you expect the governors or the people to do?


I am glad you enjoyed your NYSC days and felt the love of Sokoto in those days. I can assure you that, although Nigeria of the 80's cannot be the same the same today; however, not much has changed in terms of your fundamental rights since then.
Southerners and Christianity continue to thrive in Sokoto (and by extension, most of the Muslim north) without fear or molestation.

Having said that; unfortunately, most of you southerners will continue to disagree because of your innate tendency to always view any issue or move by northerners from your narrow ethno-religious perspective:
Arabic letters on our currency notes and military insignia (introduced by the British); herdsmen attacking and killing more Muslims/northerners; Boko Haram attacking and killing more Muslims; Sharia which applies to Muslims only ........and so on, are all being deliberately misinterpreted as Islamisation/Fulanisation agenda by southern political losing elites in order to curry more favour/relevance and support from their apparently gullible lot.

As already mentioned, Hisbah was introduced in affected states to enforce Sharia laws on Muslims only alongside some moral laws on the generality of the citizenry - including the much misunderstood prohibition of alcohol (which was not enacted under Sharia law, as most of you misconstrue).

On the other hand; Amotekun (as you even admitted in your post) is intentionally being set up by the SW states as a security outfit - SECURITY being the key word here; which clearly fall within the exclusive list and therefore outside the responsibility of the state/regional governments.

I will advise your governments to key into the existing FG defence structure (police, military etc) in a collaborative way e.t.c. JTF rather than going it alone - which is illegal.

Guy, I'm already at work I'd have explained better.
Sorry to say, but you don't know how international politics and diplomacy works.


You said, "Iran has never ran any terror program on US soil"?
I reiterate again Iran has never ran any terror program on US soil , and no Iranian has ever planned or carried out a terror attack on US soil.


Why was the attack on Suleimani?
Only Trump and Pompeo seem to know. They have not been able to explain to the American people the real reason Soleimani was assassinated. Even his republican members of Congress were angry at the briefings Trump's people gave.


Iran partners and funds terrorist coys.
Agreed. But the coys are terrorists to the US and israel, but not to most countries of the world. The Europeans, Russia, china, etc do not view Iran as terrorist.


There is no way the US will detain all Iranians on its soil
Please show me the news
These were Iranians coming in through the ports, so these are the ones the authorities could easily identify.
If a war actually breaks out, the government would hunt for Iranians and detain them for the duration of the war. This was what happened to Japanese and Japanese Americans and Germans in America during WW2.

I am sorry but you are the one that doesn't understand the operations of Amoteku

It was actually set up to work hand in hand with the Nigerian police

They would give Nigeria police information and make citizens arrest and hand it over to the Nigerian police.

it doesn't have a detention center

Why shouldn't State government be able to do that? or is Malami confused?

You cannot expel naturalized citizens and permanent residents just like that

Especially naturalized citizens...

Many of you are just dumb on this forum.....

Very dumb and uninformed undecided


You just think someone in govt will just pursue people just like that

Tho those on temporary visas can be denied entry, and those who violate their visa conditions can also be deported even if the visa has not expired....
Those who commit serious crimes on temp visas or permanent residence card can also be deported under certain conditions (US in particular)

But naturalized citizens cannot be deported

About Arabic letters on currency notes. Yes a few Christians complain, but most don't just care. As long as there are English letters and numerals (Arabic), that I can understand, they can as well add Chinese. I don't care.

Herdsmen killing both muslims and Christians should be everybody's concern. If the hisbah Police was to protect both Christian and muslims from fulani herdsmen's attacks, believe me I would not have any issues, but imposing muslims laws and morals on non muslims is wrong.

The herdsmen menace has been a major problem in Nigeria. It started from the north, decimated the middle belt and is not threatening the peace and security of the East and west. Should we not sit together and resolve the Fulani herdsmen issue once and for all?
I would have expected Buhari being a fulani himselves to tackle the issue, but instead he has been aloof.

This is exactly what I have been saying; for goodness sake why must you close your mind to reading and reasoning; why must you ignore or twist issues even though made clear as light and day?
I have repeatedly explained that Sharia applies to Muslims only; while Hisbah is authorised to enforce it in ADDITION to some moral laws including consumption of alcohol.
Pls tell me which part of the 3rd paragraph of my last post did you not understand (reproduced here below)

As already mentioned, Hisbah was introduced in affected states to enforce Sharia laws on Muslims only alongside some moral laws on the generality of the citizenry - including the much misunderstood prohibition of alcohol (which was not enacted under Sharia law, as most of you misconstrue).

For the last time, pls note that Hisbah is NOT security based; they are not even armed and therefore cannot protect anyone from physical threat.

The excesses of the herdsmen is indeed a threat and a menace to everyone; it is therefore reasonable for Nigerians to expect and complain when govt protection fails them; at the same time the law does not allow individuals or state govts to resort to self help in the manner in which the SW governors are approaching this problem - because there is always the danger that such outfits can easily be hijacked or get out of control and therefore mushroom to something never imagined or intended before (e.g. an ethnic supremacist witch hunting or separatist machinery) in view of which no govt will sit back and fold its arm at such possibility.

The problem with the Nigeria force is political and lack of capacity. We are seriously under policed in Nigeria, there are thousands of community without police presence both in the north and south, this gives room for criminals to easily have their ways.

Having community police doesn't stop the federal government from doing their job, it will only complement their activity.

Indeed, states are entitled to enact laws and enforce them so long as they are consistent with the Nigerian constitution; that much is clear - I also think that was the message the AGF was trying to get across.
Re: FG Declares Operation Amotekun Illegal by Iamgrey5(m): 10:45am On Jan 15, 2020
NaMeAboki:


Is that why the IGP released a statement in which he said, anyone carrying illegal arms would be arrested?
Did you also read the last paragraph of the AGF's statement (attached to this thread) - if you did; what did you think he meant?
Hunters carry arms, Herders carry"ak47 to defend themselves" (a very sophisticated automatic gun), even JTF carry weapons as long as it is sanctioned by law and the police or necessary security agencies are aware of the weapons.

Amotekun would also only carry not so sophisticated weapons to defend themselves because let's face it they would be facing criminals who might also be armed.

@ the AGF

What exactly is the AGF saying that is unique or sensible, he claimed they should consulted him first.

However, what exactly do we need his permission for ?

AGF isn't the constitution, the constitution is for everyone to see and only the court can determine if an action is illegal not the AGF.

Anyways, this case would be challenged in the court of law.
