Arysexy:
You know nothing about power generation and transmission. Pls shut up. Taken to which Oshogbo?

The grid system is an interconnected lines at 330kv level in a ring pattern, could be radial also but Nigeria use ring. Powers are generated and fed into d ring by various power stations, NCC osogbo only monitors and allocate the load to each disco N ensure there is balance between what is fed in and what is taken out. Any imbalance causes collapse. In this case, the break in the ring causes sharp load consumption drop, which results in imbalance and collapse
Oh my God!!!!
I hope you aren't electrical Engineer, this is an insult to ur degree. So Oshogbo is the one that allocate load to discos?
What of the various substations that feed the Main Distribution stations?
We have about 7 large and most efficient generation stations that are transmitted to Oshogbo while the less efficient with smaller capacities feed the 7 most efficient and larger stations depending on their locations. From Oshogbo, the allocation is made to the substations across the Nation through 330KV lines.
Shake ur books and stop abusing ur knowledge!

Again I understand your point.

But Tinubu destroyed the goodwill he would have enjoyed from the entire south when he fought GEJ.

Now all he has from the south is just Southwest.

And when you consider that not all southwesterners will vote for him, you will realize the precarious situation Tinubu finds himself.

His only hope now is the north. And the north is now doing him shege.
you and the otherghy don't understand politics at all. Do u think one aspire to be President just to antagonize others?
Politicians are friends, very close ally to politicians from other region than their tribes, region and religion because they've common goal and the goal can't be achieved without the bridge that connect them....only poor people think along ur points....
If u accuse Tinubu of fighting GEJ then what are u going to accuse Amaechi of who masterminded the losing of GEJ as APC campaign director?
In 2011, GEJ supported GEJ and he betrayed SW with zero infrastructure and lopsided his appointments to SS/SE. Now, Tinubu and SW entered political alliance With Buhari, can u she the infrastructure in the SW? SW have the highest appointments of Buhari with Ogun state having more of Buhari aides than the entire NW. This is politics......

It's absolute foolishness for a country as big as Nigeria to have a single national grid
The grid is a collection of all the major power generated taken to Oshogbo, National Control Center from where it is transmitted across the Nation. The purpose of this is to have a uniform frequency and ensure continuity in case some are out of service.
However, some situations like this are special cases and they have strong reasons for total shutdown. This act is devilish and extremely dangerous..

PoliticsRe: Buhari Snubs Russia, Picks British Firm For Ajaokuta Steel Revival: Video by ArewaNorth: 11:19pm On Apr 06, 2022
DoctorOlasDesk:
You're deceiving yourself. How will British do turn around maintenance for installations that were installed by Russians from the onset with all units and components up till manual written in Russian language and heavily dependent and reliant on Russian engineering tech?.

Its what happens when people get overly sensational all of a sudden. Russia since USSR has been very good to Nigerians, don't lift a finger in a battle that is bigger than you.


Now to the core issue at hand. The Ajaokuta steel complex was developed by the country by the Russians from the very onset and the Russians took pre-emptive measures to ensure anything around it is done through them and them only.


Almost the entire schematics have Russian inscriptions and manuals and operators needed to be solely trained by Russians to operate them


Secondly, some of the core operational resources used in the production chain line can only be supplied by Russia. No other nation on earth has these highly specialized resources and components

Hence, nothing can be done to Ajaokuta steel complex without the Russians.


Why then has it been made useless for over two decades without use as other like steel industrial complexes.

Here lies what the whites are not telling you guys. British and Russians alike. I know these well hidden truths first hand, cause as a genius with 160+ IQ, I'm privy to highly classified information across these complex issues. Saying this humbly. Though



To make any nation great, one doesn't need politicos, lack of corruption like APC and PDP have both been throwing banters for years


To make any nation great, a nation needs key things like :

Highly operational chemical industrial completed, highly optimized metal refining and processing complex which ranks as the core bedrock of all forms of heavy productivity and industrialization.


So, here's the bane of the matter, take away any nations ability to heavily produce,refine nd process metals and such a nation becomes useless. I dare to say it anywhere



Mind you guys, between 2001 and today over $60 Billion has been spent on revamping the steel complex in batches of $2- $20 Billion for every time it hits the news that repairs are been done.


Guess what guys, it takes average of $15-20 Billion dollars to build a modern one


Same strategy to make the oil and gas industry useless is what's playing here to. The oligarchist and the deliberate desire to keep the nation under developed is the motive behind this.


Who knows if Dangote will also spot this opportunity.

PoliticsASUU Strike: FG Imposed No Work, No Pay by ArewaNorth(op): 1:08pm On Apr 06, 2022
The Federal Government has restated its threat not to pay any of its employees on strike or absent from duty post without due authorisation.

This followed the commencement of a two-week warning strike by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) today.

With the warning strike by SSANU and NASU, activities in the nation’s public universities have been fully grounded. The Academic Staff Union of Universities and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) are already on strike over Federal Government’s failure to implement agreements with them..

Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen Chris Ngige, told The Nation last night the government had decided to apply the “No-work, No Pay” policy in compliance with Section 43 of the Labour Law.

Ngige said that the actions of the unions amounted to “false leave” and a declaration of forced holidays for students. He reminded the members that the government was not “Father Xmas.”

His words: “Anybody on strike now will not be paid in consonance with Section 43.

“What they (unions) are doing is false leave; they are forcing their employers to close down some of their universities and declare holiday for students because of that.

“So if you do that, you will not be paid. Government is not Father Christmas where you are not working and you will be paid.”

SSANU and NASU had in a joint statement yesterday announced the commencement of the warning strike, saying “no concession should be given in any guise.”

PoliticsRe: ‘igbos Can’t Rule Nigeria, They Were Cursed’ – Pastor Bakare (Video) by ArewaNorth: 12:23am On Apr 06, 2022

Igbos should in turn curse Nigeria in reprisal. Tit for tat.
Nigeria Wiil struggle on its belly and become a good for nothing country. It will be the worst performing country on any human development indices and will only serve as grave yards for enemies of Igbos nothing good will come out of Nigeria until Igbos rule it
Honestly, the sin of Igbos who killed those Northerners and some Westerners is too big to be forgiven.
Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!
Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.
Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!
We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.
*What follows are facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*

Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then but some ignorant or selfish people limit their accusations to only Abdussalam Abubakar constitution that give birth to current democratic govt. Today, they're shouting restructuring that they helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*.

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria or refuse to let them go. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. 
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.

To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".

Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.

After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. 


However, Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. 

While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe.

Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.

It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe.
As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here is a quote:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"
Northerners have clearly known this & will never succumb to cheap political trick, how can u call us backward and at the same time asking us to go back to 1963 constitution talkless of even amending the current constitution?
PoliticsEl-Rufai To Tinubu: We’re Aware Of Your Presidential Ambition But…… by ArewaNorth(op): 12:01am On Apr 06, 2022
El-Rufai said this while receiving former Lagos Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who was in the state, on a condolence visit over the bandits’ attack on a Kaduna-bound train.

The governor applauded Tinubu for cancelling his 70th anniversary colloquium in honour of the victims of the attack.

El-Rufai, who also said he was aware of Tinubu’s presidential ambition, failed to endorse the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, but said God will choose the best leader for Nigeria.

“This gesture by Asiwaju is a show of powerful leadership, empathy and concern for the lives and property of Nigerians. It’s unprecedented in our history in Nigeria. The government and people of Kaduna state will never forget this gesture. We are very grateful to you for service, sacrifice and commitment to the unity and that of our country. We appreciate your call for people to contribute to enable us rehabilitate the victims of this tragedy.

“We are aware of your aspiration to be president of this country, we look forward to further engagement so that we can progress that aspiration.

“Nigeria is at crossroad, critical crossroad, and we must take very difficult decisions to get the right leaders that would take us out of the multiple quagmires that we are going through. These are human challenges and they can be solved by human ingenuity. I pray for God to choose who is best for Nigeria, so that we will be the better, united, progressive and exemplary country that is fair and just to everyone.”

Tinubu in his remarks, lamented the spate of banditry and terrorism being witnesses in the country saying “Nigeria is bleeding.”

He called for a concerted efforts to stemming the tide of banditry and terrorism in the region.

PoliticsRe: Yoruba Muslims, Are They Dominating Yoruba Christian Counterparts by ArewaNorth: 6:36pm On Apr 05, 2022
Frankdaz9:
we know yoruba consist of core arrewa Muslims and Christian cohabiting together, whether the cohabitation is peaceful or hostile can not be established with much certainty.

We are aware of prof Ishaq Akintola of MURIC and his stance on yoruba Muslims right. We are equally aware of Yoruba Christian minority continue quest for survival despite subjugations from muslim counterpart.

practically, are Yoruba's divided along religious line? lets discuss this and know the extent of religious tolerance in yoruba land.

SCOPES OF DISCUSSION

Why can't a yoruba Christian family give out their daughter to yoruba Christian for marriage?

Why are Oyo, Lagos and Ogun governors always Muslims instead of Christian?

Why are prominent yoruba Christians being attacked by yoruba Muslim extremists e.g Sowore, Jimi Agbaje, Prof Soyinka, Fayose, Sowore ( disgraced, insulted, abandoned and tagged ijaw by Muslims)

Why is yoruba Muslim MURIC determined to propagate Islamic agenda in yorubaland.

LETS DISCUSS MATUREDLY, NO INSULTS
The main reason that compelled Muslims in Yoruba land to rise to marginalisation is due to some injusticea that deprived them to enjoy their religious injunctions which is very wrong. Muslims right have to be respected especially rights that are religious injunctions which can't be compromised by logic or tricks.

However, there are other cases in reference and examples of the violation of the civil rights of Muslims in Yorubaland but many people surreptitiously don't want it to be exposed.

Muslim female teachers who went for a promotion interview in Abeokuta last week (Thursday 15 th April, 2021) were told that they must remove their hijab before they could be interviewed. The Muslim girl-child is being stigmatized in the school and sometimes locked out of the classroom on account of an ordinary headscarf.
“The hijab of the Muslim girl-child is yanked off her head by Christian teachers who are also Yorubas. Muslim girls are beaten up and sent back home. Muslim parents suffer this humiliation on a daily basisin Yorubaland. Muslim males are forced to remove their caps and turbans. Some are forced to shave their beards before being attended to by government civil servants who are also Yorubas. Court cases which bother on the infringement of Allah-given fundamental human rights of Yoruba Muslims litter courts in the region.

“Political appointments are reserved mainly for Christians while Muslims who constitute the majority are ignored. There are only four Muslims among the fourteen (14) commissioners in Oyo and Ogun states where the governors are Christians. All the board chairmen in the two states are Christians except the Muslim Pilgrims Board and the governors have ignored the complaints of Muslims. In Ekiti State, Fayose ran an all-Christian cabinet. In Oyo State, the hijrah holiday which was declared by a former Muslim governor, Isiaka Ajimobi, has been annulled by Seyi Makinde, a Christian governor.

“Muslims are also totally marginalized in the education sector. Christians are in charge in the ministries of education in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti and Ondo. All the teaching service commissions TESCOM) are headed by Christians. Some of the heads are even church clerics. A pastor is the chairman of Ogun State TESCOM while an evangelist heads the Ogun State commission. We believe this is a deliberate and strategic ploy to perpetuate Christian hegemony in the education sector in Yorubaland. This is the machinery of oppression and it has served in the repression of hijab-wearing female Muslim students and teachers. The perpetrators persecute Muslims with impunity since they are assured of official protection up to the office of the commissioner of education.

“We are nonplussed that Afenifere has never commented on the above maltreatment of Muslims that has lasted decades (since independence) in its domain but it revels in joining Ohaneze of the South East and the Middle Belt Forum in complaining about marginalisation, nepotism and Islamisation which they claim began six years ago.
He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. For now Yoruba Muslims see no difference between Afenifere and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). In fact, the former looks more like the political wing of the latter in the South West. We are waiting earnestly to know which way the cat will jump as regards Afenifere and the Muslim 2023 presidential candidate. These are the reasons that gave birth to MURIC and other Islamic religious right groups which I'm very much sure their Christian counterparts don't have much challenges to complain...

PoliticsRe: END 1999 CONSTITUTION MEANS END ONE NIGERIA!!!! by ArewaNorth: 11:33am On Apr 05, 2022
The military did not write any constitution — apart from promulgating the enabling decrees.
On November 11, 1998, Abdulsalami inaugurated the Constitution Debate Co-ordinating Committee (CDCC) to “pilot the debate, co-ordinate and collate views and recommendations canvassed by individuals and groups and submit report not later than 31 December 1998”. It was not headed by a soldier but by Justice Niki Tobi, with Dr. Suleiman Kurmo as deputy chairman. There was no single military man on the committee. They went round the country to collect memoranda from the public through town hall meetings in Benin, Enugu, Jos, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Kano, Ibadan, Lagos and Sokoto. They excluded military formations.

After all the frenetic debates — up and down, north and south, east and west — the Tobi committee submitted its report to the military government. Tobi said: “In the light of the memoranda and the oral presentation on the 1995 Draft Constitution, it is clear that Nigerians basically opt for the 1979 Constitution with relevant amendments. They want it, and they have copiously given their reasons for their choice in the different memoranda and oral presentations. 
So they recommended to the Provisional Ruling Council the adoption of the 1979 Constitution with relevant amendments from the 1995 Draft Constitution.” Abdulsalami accepted the recommendation.
When the 1999 constitution was finally published, three of them sat down and placed it side by side with the 1979 constitution. They then did a clause-by-clause analysis. The trio were: Mr. Victor Ifijeh (the current MD of The Nation newspaper who was THISDAY editor then), Alhaji Yusuph Olaniyonu (SA to Senate President Bukola Saraki who was THISDAY politics editor at the time) and THISDAY features editor. They did a word-for-word reading and laughed themselves to stupor: this is pure plagiarism of the 1979 constitution! 
There were only a few notable differences in the two documents, such as the 13% derivation for oil-producing states and the number of states in the federation. While the 1979 constitution spoke about 19 states, 1999 said 36 states, logically. They were only reflecting the realities on ground. FEDECO in the 1979 document changed to INEC in 1999 constitution therefore it can be concluded that the 1999 constitution is a replica of the 1979 constitution. 
The biggest irony abt the contentious nature of our constitution is the vicious condemnation of the 1999 constitution by some prominent Nigerians who mostly took part in the previous constitution starting committees or got favour & protection by the system. 
Let me use Bisi Akande who made this similar nonsensical assertion
Recently, Chief Bisi Akande, former national chairman of the APC, recently summarised the discontent with the 1999 constitution thus: “The 1999 Constitution is Nigeria’s greatest misadventure since Lugard’s amalgamation of 1914. 
However, with due respect for AKANDE he was found so hypocritical for making such statement that ridicule his past. Akande was a member of the 1977 Constituent Assembly that debated and produced the 1979 constitution — which, as you would find out, is 99% what we have as the 1999 constitution today! In 1977, Akande was elected to represent Ila and Odo-otin local governments in the Constituent Assembly. The same 1999 constitution which is a photocopy of the 1979 constitution. Factually and logically, Akande has described the document he helped produced as “a bad relic of military mentality”. This isn't the issue with only Akande but with all the sociocultural groups making noise here and there, mostly their people or themselves took part in producing previous constitutions which were used to produce 1999 constitution.
Military mentality? Again, let us look at that closely. The constitution drafting committee set up by Gen. Murtala Muhammed in 1975 was headed by Chief FRA Williams. He was not a major general, in my records. (Awo declined to serve on the committee because he wanted to run for president.) The report of the committee formed the basis for discussions at the 1977 Constituent Assembly. Notable CA members were Chief MKO Abiola and core Awoists such as Chief Bola Ige, Chief Abraham Adesanya and Chief Bisi Onabanjo. It was chaired by eminent jurist, Justice Udo Udoma. This is what Akande, himself an elected member, calls “military mentality”. Is this not hypocrisy criticising 1999 constitution without looking back to the sins of these people in the past, since they know most youths are not interested in history or they didn't read history are now trying to change the narration of the mayhem they put us in!
In conclusion, we need to emphasise one point: we shouldn't have by any means suggest that the 1999 constitution is perfect. We should not be that daft. The point is that there are too many statements being made by those against the constitution that are not based on facts. The 1999 constitution was NOT written by the military. We need to know that nobody can write a perfect constitution. Even if Prof. Ben Nwabueze, a well-respected constitutional expert, writes a new constitution today, loopholes will surface in a matter of time. That is why laws are dynamic. As loopholes appear, you plug them. Meanwhile, is the 1999 constitution that horrible? 
The same people that are amending God's commandments are expecting perfection from fellow human!

Don’t rip your stomach open – APC chair, Adamu cautions Amaechi, El-Rufai for criticising Buhari

The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu has warned the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai and the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, against criticising their political party.

Adamu, a former Governor of Nasarawa State, spoke on BBC Hausa, telling the former Rivers State Governor and the sitting Governor of Kaduna not to use knife and rip open their own stomach.

The former federal lawmaker said this in reaction to respective comments made by Amaechi and El-Rufai after the recent attack on a Kaduna-bound train by terrorists.

Amaechi had said the tragedy would have been averted if the government had released the N3 billion his ministry had proposed to use for some security installations.


On his part, Governor El-Rufai had threatened that Governors in the North-West could opt for the services of foreign mercenaries if attacks continued in the region.

Governor El-Rufai’s statement was an indictment on the President Muhammadu Buhari government.

Adamu said he would not take issues with the party chieftains but cautioned that “one should not use a knife to rip open his stomach”.

“I am a human being, I don’t know what was in their minds when they made their assertions, but I advise you to go and meet them,” he said

bolajinoni1:
*THE REASONS WHY THE PEOPLE ABROAD ARE MORE SERIOUS ABOUT ADVOCATING FOR YORUBA NATION:*


It is not because DIASPORANS are hungry or want any political positions.

Sincerely, no reasonable YORUBA person that has been to Europe, UK and the USA will not support YORUBA NATION

With due respect to those of us living in Nigeria, the people in whitemen's countries see what we don't see, they know what's called the right system and the right leadership.

For those who are against YORUBA NATION, if you travel to developed countries and return back to Nigeria, you won't hesitate to stone your leaders to death: they have ruined the country and have destroyed many lives and vision, they are the reasons for the poverty, insecurity, kidnapping, rapes, abductions, forest invasions by the Hausa-Fulanis, backwardness, unemployment, bad roads, poor education, poor health system, poor electricity, corruption and other bad things in the country,

The worst part of it is that they are not ready to change and the northerners' dominance would ever remain if nothing is done.

It always hurts me to the marrow seeing a Yoruba man still supporting one-Nigeria after 60 years of failures and disappointments that the current leadership dominated by the Hausa-Fulanis has brought to the citizens of Nigeria.

I implore Yorubas to wake up from slumbering, the freedom of YORUBA NATION is sacrosanct and it must be actualized.

Please, encourage the initiators of YORUBA NATION, support the movements
How can they exempt Yoruba States from this mess, in fact beside Lagos almost all Yoruba States have one of the worst Governors.
We need to start taking responsibilities rather than blaming others for our mayhem.

- Chief Bola Ige (Attorney General of the Federation); Dr. Marshall Harry (ANPP National Vice Chairman for South-South); Chief Ogbonnaya Uche (ANPP's Senatorial candidate for Orlu Imo State); Mr Theodore Agwatu (Principal Secretary to Imo State Governor); Hon. Odunayo Olagbaju (Member of Osun State House of Assembly);Hon. Uche Nwoke (ANPP Senatorial candidate in Imo State); Hon.

Readers should remember that Tafa Balogun has impliedly alleged that he was subjected to Ribadu’s rage by OBJ because he refused to carry out the requested elimination of a former PDP chairman! Reliable sources have confirmed that the only reason Balogun had to spend 6 months in EFCC guest houses as opposed to long time imprisonment and deprivation of all the stolen billions was to prevent him from spilling his guts out.

AFTER KADUNA ATTACKS

BOMB THE FORESTS
BRING FOREIGN MERCENARIES

https://www.thecable.ng/el-rufai-lets-bomb-forests-to-tackle-banditry
Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, says security operatives should “carpet bomb the forests” to wipe out bandits.

The governor spoke in a chat with Arise TV on Monday.

El-Rufai attributed the prolonged inability of security operatives to curb banditry in the northwest region to a “lack of enough boots on the ground”.

He added that more investment in security personnel, technology and military equipment will see bandits wiped out “once and for all”.

“These bandits operate in the periphery because their hiding place is in the forest. It’s a major problem. The security agencies are doing their best but they are overstretched,” he said.

“The reality is we don’t have enough boots on the ground to address the myriad of security challenges that we face, and these security challenges are asymmetric, widespread, and there’s no part of Nigeria that doesn’t have one security problem or the other.

“Ramp up the number of boots and more technology and more investment in armament and wipe these guys once and for all.

“I’ve always believed that, you know, we should carpet-bomb the forests; we can replant the trees after. Let’s carpet-bomb the forests and bomb all of them. There will be collateral damage, but it’s better to wipe them out and get people back to our communities so that agriculture and rural economics can pick up.”
why the sudden attack on Rufai after receiving today's congregation?

[quote author=MadeINchenzen2 post=111614522]The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) pastor during Sunday service asked four cardinal question as regards to the killings, kidnappings and banditry in KADUNA.

Those question are very key and each and every one of us is mandated as Nigerians and should as a matter of urgency and importance, find the answers to that question as far as 2023 election and peace and progress of the country is concerned.

This is not the time to go with the wind and fold our arms... we all must act right by asking the right questions and also getting the right answers.


Question Number 1: why Kaduna?
Answer: The headquarters of the armed forces of Nigeria is located in KADUNA with all of the nations heavy armaments, eg. Tanks, artillery etc based.


Question Number 2: Who is trying to isolate Kaduna?
Answer: I don't have answers to that question... I will find out grin


Question Number 3: Why are they trying to isolate Kaduna?
Answer: I have no idea too !

Question Number 4: After Kaduna, where is next?
Answer: I don't know !



Pls If you have answers to the questions, pls share... I want to know too.


Thanks.

only hype any attack in Kaduna because of the state's sensitivity to ethno-religious issues but the underreported killings and attacks in zamfara is much bigger than that of Kaduna.
Why media kept mute about the killing of 63 vigilantes in Kebbi and the killing of combined team of about 20 NPF, Soldiers and NSCDC officials the following day after escorting the state's Deputy Govt for condolence visit?

Kaduna become subject-matter of banditry along Kaduna-Abuja because 80% of the road along KANO to Abuja is within the territory of Kaduna state and is the major road that linked North to South with hundred thousands commuters daily on the road.

Arewanorth grin over to you
KANO has more industries than any other Nigerian state before emergence of OBJ as President of the FRN in 1999. OBJ killed industrial growth in Nigeria by allowing power sector to decay deliberately under his watch.
OBJ supplied Lagos and Ogun with gas pipeline which paved way for the relocation of mass industries from Kaduna and KANO to Lagos and Ogun due to lack of power. If not because his intention was tactical, all the regions in Nigeria should have benefitted from that gas pipeline projects.
Now there are two industrial estates in KANO built by industrialists since military regime which are now closed with hundredth of industries not functioning for decades, you will be in serious shock if u see the number of companies idle and decaying; Sharada and Bompai industrial estates are typical victims of OBJ's economic sabotage regime.
The guy making that claim must not bark out of knowledge, he needs to go to KANO and see with his eyes rather than the usual chest beating. KANO is the worst hit state by tax collection corruption but the numbers would have been different...

North doesn't betray anybody's cause in PDP. In 1999, PDP zoned its Presidential ticket to the South, and OBJ picked the ticket through primary election. In 2007, PDP zoned its ticket to North and Yardua got it. Yardua died 3yrs later and North had all right to asked for her remaining years under zoning arrangement.
However, PDP broke the zoning arrangement in favour of GEJ. In this case, zoning is between 2 regions and is left for the wiser zone in the region to pick the ticket.
SE should either allow North complete her remaining zoning supposed years which South accomplished 14yrs and North had only 3yrs under PDP or they should blame their Southern counterparts for betraying them but not North.
The earlier we stop talking about zoning and adopt competence the better because this zoning is very confusing in a multiparty democracy.
