HOW TO ADDRESS INSECURITY IN NIGERIA
1. Avoid Arming Untrained Civilian Groups: The FG (including the NSA) should not provide weapons to groups without formal training, oversight, and integration into official security frameworks.

2. Strengthen Local Law Enforcement & Intelligence: Increase the presence and capacity of police, DSS, and military in affected areas with community cooperation.

3. Enforce Restricted Movement Policies : Implement and monitor measures like timed grazing bans to reduce criminal cover.

4. Support Community-Based Security: Train and formally integrate trusted local hunters/vigilantes into recognized security efforts under supervision.

5. Disarm All Illegal Armed Persons: Consistently recover illegal weapons from all individuals and groups outside lawful authority.

6. Improve Inter-Agency Coordination: Ensure seamless collaboration between security agencies and local leaders for credible intelligence and operations.

7. Focus on Economic Alternatives: Accelerate programs to reduce dependence on open grazing and provide alternative livelihoods for herders.

8. Ensure Judicial Accountability: Prioritize lawful arrests, fair trials, and prosecution of all criminals, regardless of affiliation.

A simple promise to marry, which is later broken, is not a legally enforceable contract in Nigeria and does not give rise to a successful lawsuit for damages.

The Nigerian Court of Appeal decisively settled this position[b] in the case of Okoro v. Nwachukwu[/b] (2007) 9 NWLR (Pt. 1038) 1. In this landmark judgment, the court abolished the antiquated action for "breach of promise to marry." The court held that such promises are social and domestic arrangements lacking the necessary legal intent to create a binding contract. Marriage is founded on free consent, and the court will not compel a person to marry another against their will or punish them for changing their mind.

However, the only potential legal recourse exists if money or property was transferred in specific contemplation of the marriage (e.g., bride price, dowry, or non-refundable wedding expenses). In such instances, the claimant may sue for the recovery of the monetary value of those items under the principle of restitution or unjust enrichment, not for the breach of the promise itself. This was also acknowledged in the Okoro v. Nwachukwu case.

Precious. All those I know with this name have issues

Religion is a wicked thing!

See premium gaslighting!

Make una free Reno hope! The man is desperately hustling for his daily bread!

It's completely understandable to feel gutted and overwhelmed right now. It's not just about the money, but the deep sense of betrayal from someone you trusted and helped, especially with exams and your academic future on the line. That’s a heavy weight to carry.

Right now, take a breath, and think clearly: your immediate focus needs to shift to damage control.

Since Monday is urgent, reach out directly to your school's financial aid or dean's office immediately to explain your situation and ask for a short-term extension or payment plan. Some institutions have emergency protocols for students in exactly this bind.

Then, quickly tap any other trusted friends, family, or even community support networks who might be able to bridge the gap temporarily. This was a profound letdown, but don’t let this person’s failure define your path.

You can still navigate this.

You cannot talk to us online inlaws this way. Anything brought to the public is our full concern 😕

Let he who has no sin cast the first stone . . .

After what you did to Tu Baba?
We no gree! 😁

Is there any allowance for the education sector? Schools, teachers, pupils?

ChristineC:
free oyel money is the root of all bullshiiit in Nigeria

I agreed 💯

May God heal this family 🙏

Well played! The road is now clear to join APC!

I seriously doubt the existence of a "heaven".

If if exists, the while man won't let the black man ever go near it for free! 🤣🤣🤣

We'll done JTF. I pray that all those who support, sponsor and encourage terrorism in Nigeria be exposed, apprehended and unalived. It will happen! Idiots!

Thank God he is safe 🙏

My problem with DSS is that they seem to be doing selective justice (abi Na victimisation sef?). Bantits, kidnappers and terrorists are killing innocent Nigerians on a daily basis and displacing (and occupying) entire communities, while some Islamic clerics openly call for Jihad, but they gladly look away. You see them arresting people for voicing out against that injustice or making honest comments online.

DSS, I know you have the capacity to make Nigeria better by nipping insecurity at its roots before it manifests. Biko, help Nigeria 🙏

Rest in Peace Sir

Normal cashing out strategy

helinues:
President Tinubu is a failure in terms of security most especially in North

He didn't fail. He is playing the script as agreed. As government and security forces look away, the sponsors and supporters of Jihad in Nigeria are cashing out and serving their Allah the blood of innocent Nigerians on a platter. Shame 😞💔💔💔

Religion of peace

As a Nigerian, reading this fills me with a profound sense of frustration and anger. This tragic incident in Malumfashi is a symptom of the larger failure that is our government's "soft" approach to terrorism.

We are told that "bandits" and "terrorists" are being fought, yet we constantly see them treated with kid gloves. There are endless talks of "amnesty" and "rehabilitation" for mass murderers, while ordinary, law-abiding citizens are left to be butchered. Now, we see a proactive security patrol, and the one person who is killed is the father of a known bandit leader. Where is Fada? Why is he not the one in a body bag or behind bars? It seems the only people who face the full, often tragic, force of the state are civilians, even those tangentially linked to these criminals.

The swift arrest of the CJTF members is typical. It shows the government is quick to punish those genuinely involved in the fight against terrorism, but lacks the same political will to decisively eliminate the known terrorists terrorizing our communities. This creates a crippling paradox: our forces are either hesitant to act for fear of repercussions, or their actions lead to tragic outcomes that further alienate the communities they are meant to protect.

This is not security. This is a cycle of failure. We are tired of the excuses and the half-measures. The government must choose: either decisively declare these bandits as terrorists and deploy overwhelming force against them, or admit that they have lost control. The current strategy of treating wolves like stray dogs is getting our people unalived from all sides 😞💔💔

Normal levels, sadly.
Thanks to the international spotlight championed by Trump

tunjijones:
This means that the government knows who these terrorists are. They can not just do anything about it.

Wat a "disgraced country "

Of course they know!

Do you know that if you as much as think a bad thought against the government or ruling party in Nigeria, the DSS, Army, Police, NSCDC, Interpol, etc have the capacity to fish you out within seconds from ANY PART OF THE EARTH?

In this matter of insecurity, silence and nonchalance pays them better than proactive action 🤐🤐🤐

Osiris12:
i even think say na lost but found car

Stop eeeet! 🤣🤣🤣

While the demands for a fully alert and proactive leadership, especially on security matters, are entirely valid and shared by many Nigerians, it would be improper to judge the President's entire commitment based on a single photograph. However, this image understandably resonates with a deep and widespread public anxiety, and it is my sincere hope that it serves as a catalyst for the renewed vigor and visible, decisive action that this critical moment demands.

This sentiment reflects a patriotic demand for a government that fulfills its fundamental duty: protecting citizens and ensuring their welfare through competent and compassionate leadership.

The repeated abduction of our students is a national emergency that no patriotic Nigerian can accept. Our current security strategy is failing to protect our most vulnerable, and we urgently need a unified and effective approach to end this cycle of violence and secure our children's future.

Kuginzi:
For those attaching terrorists attacks to Islam, I think this should be shared wide and far across all social media platforms.

This is not the time to keep mute as if nothing concerns you. May we not end up homeless and running helter skelter when bombs and missiles start to go off.

We still have a voice! Let's speak in unison.

Can you please clarify what they mean whenever they chant "Allahu Akbar" as they perpetrate their works of iniquity? What do you want a casual observer to think? Res Ipsa Loquitur 🤐

lilsmart:
When the same title Dr.is given away in a ceremony for a donation or celebrity, it cheapens the immense effort of those who earned it the hard way. The public can no longer distinguish between a scholar and a celebrity, making the title useless as a marker of academic accomplishment.

The title is actually useless
