This is why I fear for power in the Nigeria context.... Now, I'm not overly spiritual but sometimes, what these despicable people do for power is something out of the ordinary!

Nigeria context, one power shift to your region, insecurity and deaths also shift there too!

Almost 400 views and they can't even discuss terrorist acts in their worthless zone. Change the NARRATIVE to IGBO and see them raving and crying.

Nothing like SOUTHERN UNITY...let that register.
that shows how evil they wish us. They are always scouting for bad news in SE but at their back yard, herdsmen are kiling them sacking them from their villages. Ritual killers raveging them like anything. I have never seen a people with bitter mind like this..

It is an undeniable fact that Nigeria is a country. However, it is concerning to see how a country can be involved in such criminal activities as kidnapping and still be engaging in diplomatic relations with other nations. This is a matter of great concern and should not be taken lightly.
PoliticsRe: Nnamdi Kanu Abandons Biafra Agitation, Seeks “Genuine Restructuring” Of Nigeria by Balkan(m): 5:26pm On Jan 25, 2024
It's important to note that the issue of restructuring the country was one of the main drivers behind MNK's agitation. However, it's worth mentioning that there were differences in opinion from the Northern part of the country. If a mutually beneficial solution can be found and the country is restructured in a fair and just way, it's possible that the agitation could come to an end.

God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

PoliticsVillagers Flee As Bandits Overwhelm Amotekun In Parts Of Ondo by Balkan(op): 3:34pm On Jan 06, 2024
Some villagers in Ondo State have begun to flee their homes, following incessant attacks suffered from the herdsmen-cum-bandits’ invasion.

This has become the fate of residents in some villages in the state after longtime reported cases of attacks, kidnappings and sometimes – killings, which have continued to disrupt business activities, undermine food security, displace a large number of inhabitants, and also cast heavy doubt on the safety of lives and property.

Research has shown that over 4,000 farmers have been killed in the South Western part of Nigeria from 2015 to date.

According to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data, Nigeria has lost not less than 8,343 persons to the farmers-herders conflict since 2005.


This rising invasion of herders in the Southwest region subsequently led the governors in the six South-West states, with ranking traditional rulers, to form the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed ‘Amotekun’ on January 9, 2020.

Despite the support from the state governments, the regional security outfit has continued to struggle to maintain and counter persistent attacks from the herdsmen.

Some residents have raised concerns about the wherewithal of the Amotekun corps to overpower and take control of the areas that have become dominated by the herdsmen.


Following investigations by The PUNCH, a resident who gave her name as Tinu said she stays in Akoko but visits Ifon often and that it is always a scary journey to embark on.

“I live after Arigidi Akoko but I often commute on the road that leads to Ifon. I have a friend I visit regularly. That road is now lonely, Amotekun men have practically been overpowered in that place because it’s like the epicentre of herdsmen. They sacked an entire community,” she said.

A monarch who didn’t want his name in print said he had to get extra local security to support the Amotekun but that they’re struggling to keep them away.

Although, the men of the Amotekun security corps didn’t say much about the challenges faced, residents gave their views about some of the problems the security network encountered in the cause of duty.

A man who simply gave his name as Joe and a graduate of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, said Amotekun is powerless in certain parts of the state and his parents had to abandon their home because of the security crisis in their area.

“Which Amotekun? Bandits are killing people in Ose LG every day. Ifon, Okeluse, Molege, Arimogijaa communities are no-go areas till today. We even heard Amotekun were told to stop fighting the bandits when they lost like 5 of their officers in that environment. My parents had to leave the house to go and stay with my brother who lives in Ondo town,” he said.

While travellers have been attacked, killed and kidnapped, the farmers and their farmlands too weren’t been spared. From tales of being killed on their farms to escaping with injuries and destruction of farmlands, the farmers have had a bitter taste of the precarious security situation of the state.
