By this definition, you've just confirmed what the Governor said was right. If someone stole your cow or destroyed your property and you went to get revenge, does it make you a bandit? Is this not the same 9ja where someone steals tomatoes or food stuff from the market and next thing you know people are putting tyre on him doing jungle justice?

Wich definition are u talking abt?

D dictionary definition I displayed here has CRIMINAL, FUGITIVE, etc, as d synonyms 4 BANDITS.

In a nutshell, retaliating evil wit evil is taking law into one's hand, and dt in itself is unlawful, unconstitutional, criminal, and there4 punishable under law!

Maybe my Ph.D is failing me but fugitive and bandits are not synonyms, they share characteristics but they are not synonyms, YOU CAN'T REPLACE ONE WITH THE OTHER IN EVERY SITUATION hence it fails the synonyms test. Commiting a crime does not make you a bandit, child abusers, those who drive unlawfully, public intoxication, even women beaters are not bandits. So are we right to call everyone that participates in jungle justice as bandits or terrorists regardless of the situation? I grew up in Mushin, where jungle justice was as common as Agege bread, by your definition everybody in Mushin is a bandit , do you see how silly it sounds? This is what the Gov was trying to explain, as easy as it is to term all herdmen as bandits, it is factually INCORRECT!

He said this after meeting with Buhari.
Still wondering what they discussed, and agreed upon?
He's just speaking Buhari's mind.

That is the kind of people we share a country with.. Do they reason with their legs? So the bandits are what exactly.. Criminal elements with different names almost all from same region.. I'm getting tired of our unity oh...

you are a bon fool govnor!

Why are they then bandits if they are not all criminals fool?

I had to quickly check the dictionary to see if the meaning of ‘bandit’ has changed

I support you governor!
Not all armed robbers are criminals!
Not all kidnappers are criminals!
Not all rapists are criminals!

They are only reacting to injustices by the society!

See how the Governor is redefining criminality!

Shame!

Who created the vigilante groups?? This is what has been happening and people complain but nothing at all is done. Money changes hands and business as usual. I wonder why no one calls the names of these sponsors that they use during elections and then leave a problem to scatter the community

When stupid people are at the helms of affairs of a nation all that can come out of their mouth is nonsensical word like the rubbish that this idiot is saying. "Not all Bandits are criminals", stupidity of the highest order. We go soon make Brain-guage or Brainometer to be testings the brain of some of these useless leaders.

See the rubbish talk coming out from Maggot emitted mouth of an Idiot called governor.

bandit [n.]: Outlaw, robber, brigand, freebooter, footpad, highwayman, marauder.


With the above definition, Matawale needs to be investigated

Sir, you called them bandits and you said they are not criminals. Do you know if meaning of bandit?

many of so called governors are not qualified to be leaders.

This kind of irresponsible statements from so called governors is encouraging the terrorism of armed herdsmen.
Zamfara & Bauchi state governors should be impeached.
They are not patriotic.
What kind of unpatriotic individuals are these two governors?

Sonnobax15:



He's very right, especially if you relax and give his opinion a backward kind of second thought,na then you go know say dictionary na scarce commodity for the whole of north....... Infact,from now on,every sensible Nigerian should equally know that not every ipob member is a terrorist...

It should and must be viewed as an act of absolute foolishness to tag a group without alms a terrorist group and tag the one that carries alms and cause havoc a non-criminal group....

Disclaimer; I'm urhobo and a Deltan..So I've nothing to do with ipob.. But I'm only stating the fact.

You don't need to tell them where you are from, you only need to speak the truth...
I am a from Katsina,but the truth won't depart from my mouth.
It is only people filled with hatred towards others, that analysis your submission based on your tribe.

Sometime I wonder how this zombies get elected. Imagine what is coming out from the mouth of a whole governor.

This gov has loooose screws in his head that need to be removed urgently.

Says it all!

Majority of fulani herdmen are criminals even before now. They held monopoly in arm robbery across north since 80s.
Typical village fulani can even kill his wife for a mere arguement

When the head is bad what do u expect from the body ,this government from head to toe are all fools
