Okay I give up. But can you give 1 (one). Just one practical suggestion on what should be done that isn't at the moment to tackle this problem. Be practical. Just one.

Kobojunkie:

Just 1? Oh, that is easy and I will give you a COMMON SENSE suggestion too. . . Maybe for the first time in the history of this nation, rather than waste money on buying new 'school' uniforms for policemen, building housing for policemen, and other useless things, we spend that money on training, restructuring, re-educating, equipping, improving/developing our police force, so they can not only effectively fight crime but also effectively handle security in this country. We spend more of our time putting in place facilities to ensure our policemen are held more accountable, are monitored, psychologically ready, and equipped to carry out their duties as law enforcement personnel in this nation.

Does anyone realize how many 100's of billions of dollars we have lost to the many security/419 schemes of the past 10 years? Is this really too much for the Executive, with all the CONTROL and POWER we have given it, to accomplish?

If about 1/20th of the money allocated to that, in the last 2 years, had actually gone to working on the police force, there would be noticeable difference in the way our policemen operate, across a good portion of the country.

_{Now let the excuses start rolling in}

401kk:

And who told you its not being done?

401kk:

And who told you its not being done?

Is it ? ? , and we still hear stories about illiterate and unskilled boko haramites out-gunning policemen in police stations and setting prisoners free.

Boboribo: What we are saying is that even if GEJ has credible Intel that the likes of IBB, Buhari, Atiku and co are behind BH, he doesn't come across as someone man enough to take them on.

Kobojunkie:

Yes it is being done, for the past 10 years even, and that is why the Police in anywhere Nigeria is a good example of what police should be. Thanks for correcting me!

Billyonaire: 1. Formation of State Police
2. Sacking of any governor that there is terrorist attack in his state 3 times in a year and installment of military administrator to take over the state for 1 yr then conduct new election for new governor aftwards.
3. Banning of importation of explosives into the country
4. Introduction of firing squad for BH members caught.
5. Closure of borders between Nigeria and Chad/Niger
6. Issuance of approval licenses before construction of places of worship
7. Monitoring of sermons/preaching in Churches and mosques to avoid radicalization.

401kk:

So Jonathan should be blamed for whatever went wrong in the past 10 years?

401kk: I also asked this question a while ago but nobody responded.
You see, our lack of proper education has been a huge stumbling block to our collective development. Nigerians talk and argue loosely, without getting a basic understanding of what they're arguing about. Most people who criticize the president for not being able to curtail the BH crisis don't know
1. What the BH sect is
2. Their demands and objectives
3. The scope of their operation
4. Apparatus and strategies being put forward by the authorities to stop them.
5. Why it's been a difficult task for the authorities to stop so far
etc

These bunch of misplaced Nigerians would rather throw the blames at the president forgetting that
1. The BH insurgency and other insecurity issues did not start during his tenure.
2. Nigeria has been very disorganized before he became president
3. We have no proper intelligence gathering unit in place
4. The NPF is filled with lazy, unintelligent, dispassionate and corrupt nigerians
5. No proper citizen recognition system or database in place
6. Our borders have been porous before he became president
7. He is not to blame for the high level of poverty, illiteracy and religious stupidity in the north
8. He is not to blame for the presence of mules in the security forces
9. He's trying his best to eradicate the menace


If you want to criticize the president, do it well.

Don't quote me please. I'm out
