Northerners are bunch of smelling maggots ridden terrorists. I mean all northerners from that middle belt of devil to that topmost Northern Sahel of Satan. How come it's only people from the southern region that are always showing so much concern for the cruelty been melted on the Northern region by their own people despite the fact that the Southern region is better off in terms of security....it's still those northerners that will come to the southern region to inflicts their culture of atrocities like rape, kidnapping, Banditry and killing on the peaceful south. How can a region be overly permeable to the most terrible and hideous crimes known to mankind and the junkyard of people of the northern region accommodates, nurture and progress in it without complaining. Being a parasitic region of no advantage is something we can manage afterall, atleast we can afford to have dogs, feed the dogs daily even if the dogs aren't of benefits to us.....but this north that we have always feed, pampered but show no appreciation and always wanting to kill and destroy the south region so that they can come and occupy the south is a real deal to be concerned about.... These people of northern region are lepers and hate to see anything good in other people talkless of their own people....it's high time the Northerners stop supporting Buhari, Boko Harams, Bandits and shout on top of their voice that they are being killed every second by Buhari and his associates herdmens etc...You need to blow your trumpet instead of pretense and allow the southern region to be doing that for you....Northerners showing dismay to these atrocities can be counted in tens while Southerners showing dismay are in thousands....nobody says it better than the victims.....

A very simple logic to retrieve in this tech world
Simple

1. Mount a tracker on it to stay on radar to fish out the locations it was taken to.

2. Plant an explosive device connect3d to a central data base for instance of losing it , can be easily detonate

Who is with me

So you expect a country that can not generate electricity to do all these?

There are people who are known for having hands in insecurity in the North. One of them is PDP member from Zamfara state, he was part of the team that lead NSO later dissolved to NIA, DIA and DSS. He was army General and knows Nigerian security may be more than everyone. He is PDP card bearer, has gold mining company in Zamfara, he was was all over OBJ, GEJ and Yar'adua, the security of Nigeria is on the hand of that man. He so intelligent enough to leave no trace to his atrocities, if u take him to court u will just be telling govt hear-say evidence but hardly u can present concrete evidence that can prove him guilty of the case he may be charged. He may later demand huge money for defamation of character, he commands respect in PDP, they found the party and if arrested many ignorants will allege political arrest. Not only him, Nigeria is in the hands of her enemies who have no conscience nor sense of patriotism. I always pity the poor masses who are so brainwashed to only think abt ethno-religious politics.
For instance, how can the failure of PMB drag his tribe into his case?
Why the fault of Muslims or Christian leader affect the faith he belongs to?
If we really know how those people who open their dirty mouth to spread hates are sponsored to use sociocultural group to divide people we would never support them for a second.
I pity Nigerian masses, they are delusional, ill informed, dogmatic with no consciousness to ponder well abt their situation.

Just talking nonsense.

I can bet this fact with you EjaNla, that timid Fulani General we call Nigeria president (Muhammad Buhari) wouldn't dare travel to Katsina or any neighbouring states for a long time if not till his woeful career ends.

Presently, his tail is stuck right in between his legs cos he's so afraid. If there is any opportunity of faking sickness to go abroad this time....that might be till the end of his unfortunate ruling of Nigeria...He is not a general as widely acclaimed but general in ranks and not in action and principle. He's just a lucky man to have gotten the supports of Tunde Idiagbon etc..who were taking charge and putting things right while the tribal bigot Buhari dwelled in Nepotism and charlatans thoughts and deeds. Probably he's thinking of ways to escape from Nigeria now....

What is this? So these people are actually stronger than our national defense� So scary... We should all be worried, every single Nigerian... very worried at that.

Quite shameful and pathetic!
It's an open secret that so many big players and top military men are involved in this sham.

It is my candid opinion to say that insecurity in Northern Nigeria is one of the biggest medium used by politicians and the military to enrich themselves. It is their own oil money.

Your own is just to shout until it becomes traditional something.

In some instances, government officials in[b] Africa’s most populous nation have been paying the gangs to return stolen weapons and kidnapped personnel[/b], according to confidential documents and interviews with senior military officials, soldiers and independent mediators, and one of the gang leaders.

“If they don’t pay, we kill them,” said Shehu Rekeb, a militant leader in Zamfara state, in a phone interview. His men were herdsmen, he said, who had been mistreated by the state and subjected to arbitrary arrests. Once armed with machetes, they now have weapons on par with the military and collaborators inside the army, he claimed.

Nigeria’s government—still battling Islamic State militants in the northeast—refers to the lesser-known criminal groups in its northwest as “bandits.” But soldiers, intelligence officers and mediators who have visited their camps describe a surfeit of munitions. Those include more antiaircraft guns acquired since the mission to buy one back.

“Criminal factions appear to be better equipped with larger-capacity advanced weaponry than national security agencies,” said a confidential internal report presented to the president in July.



The EVIL you SOW is the EVIL you REAP! That MONSTER you had CREATED would SWALLOW you WHOLE! This is just the beginning...you have NOT seen nothing yet!

this is pathetic, this means that whatever weapons the developed world sold to this bubu's strange government, is not safe in the hands of this compromised govt security agents, but could fall into the hands of these happy and devious terrorists, this same govt choose to call bandits, business men doing business with the lives of Nigeria kids.
this APC govt is indeed downgrading Nigeria and nigerians.

A kidnapping gang encamped in Nigeria’s Rugu forest had seized an antiaircraft gun in a clash with a military unit. That posed a threat to President Muhammadu Buhari, who had been planning to fly to his hometown about 80 miles away, and the government needed to buy it back.

Now, all of you Presidiot B0K0HARI apologists, Social Media Almajiris and Unity beggars, this is your ONE LIEGERIA. This story would have been laughable if it wasn't true. For all you M0R0NS that are still clamoring for one country, I would say to you, "You're the MOST FOOLISH person the world has ever known." I pray that as you wish that the lives of innocent citizens be destroyed by staying in Nigeria, so shall it be for you and your generations. Destruction, Sadness and Mourning should remain in your household forever!
