Herdsmen And Insecurity In Southwest: Olakunle Churchill Reacts, Says Traditional Rulers, State Government Intervention Is Key

Popular Nigeria-African Enterpreneur and Philanthropist, Dr. Olakunle Oladunni Churchill has reacted on the incessant killings, attacks and challenges of insecurity in the South Western region of the country. Speaking exclusively with StatePress Correspondent few hours ago, Churchill Olakunle called on the assistance of Traditional Rulers in championing a strategic approach in managing the dreadful situation.

He stated that the challenges of insecurity in the Southwest have become essentially worrisome and a need for immediate intervention is imminent. He therefore called on traditional Rulers to work in cohesion with youth groups, state government and community policing Agencies like Amotekun and other relevant groups in the state.

He further commented on the recent activism and initiative of Activist Sunday Igboho who arrived Ogun State to bring to an end the alleged criminal activities by suspected herdsmen in the state. He however noted that his efforts may be a wild goose chase and could worsen the situation, as he stressed on more empowerment of the Amotekun group and other security agencies. He then noted that the challenges of insecurity and clashes with herdsmen is an ageing issue which cannot be tackled by mere individual prepositions and claims for a heroic attainments, but instead an issue that must be curtailed through collaboration and diplomatic Engagements.

Still stressing his position on the matter, Dr. Churchill noted that the traditional rulers in every community are more closer to the people, especially with emphasis on their influence and affluence in their communities. He however concluded on the need for more state and federal funding of local security agencies, who are working earnestly to maintain peace and order in their various communities to save lives and Properties.

Dr. Churchill Olakunle has remained one of the few young Nigerians who has continued to frontline development interventions in areas of national development and salvage initiative for vulnerable persons across Nigeria. He has received multiple awards and recognition for his impacts in promoting peace, unity and better living conditions for communities both in Nigeria and across Africa.

It seems the government in not interested in this matter.


"Peace is not absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice."

(Baruch Spinoza)

The government? You mean the politicians?

We the masses have to get organised and stand up against a common enemy. The government and kings have proven unreliable. Many of them are even receiving payments and other benefits from the government and the herders.

If they care, they would have done something tangible since. But we can all see what they are doing and saying, directly and indirectly.

So, let's rise up. Let us do anything in our capacity, such as Intellectual warfare, legal warfare, social media warfare, prayer warfare, Sunday Ighoho-ism, civil rallies, civil disobedience, and so on.

Rise up and do something.

God is on our side, and victory is ours.

Fulani and yoruba will coexist together whether IPOB likes it or not. Islam and Sokoto Sultanate binds us together. We should learn to tolerate and live with each other - in love and harmony

Just let toto dike catch you there.

G

Story. He should first handle his crazy Igbo girl friend issues first. As we type the information reaching us is that the fulanis have taking over 9 villages in Oyo.. let's go there and send those bloody fulanis back to Chad.

In other news, Nigeria government plans to help another country to combat terrorism.

Undefeated09:
Buhari has failed

Completely, he has taken the country to the abyss.

Buhari is the worst president ever

Isoryt

But the politicians from the south are lining up for Arewa to make one of them succeed PMB, as if that will change anything from the present political system and structure where Arewa controls through the undue large number of 19 states and Abuja created by northern soldiers in Arewa-controlled northern region.

OBJ and GEJ were in Aso Rock. What changes were both able to bring to the dysfunctional governance system and lopsided political structure?

Restructure the roguish political structure and governance system before the 2023 presidential election.

Also, i am a Muslim like you...is it right for muslim to kill non Muslim not tlk of Muslim like them...u are spitting nonsense ...agenda of those ppl not for religion but for tribal.

The issue is the Niger Delta oil fields that were given to some of those obas. they sold their people and continue to protect their interests by remaining silent while Fulani herdsmen killing their subjects.

In which way people think fulani can contribute to our life development..ask how fulani as turn hausa people to almajiri here and thr ...Can someone remind me any Hausa governor in d north presently....
That shall not be our portion ....but we need to rise and tackle those monsters now before is too late
