Originalsly: What happened to the drones... the helicopter gunships ... the fighter jets ... and all else that were purchased for millionsss to neutralize the terrorists? When are the going to be used? As it is now ... Nigeria is no different from Libya ... everybody I'd free to do as they please. I would not be surprised if these sudden rise in attacks is backed by the US to warrant their intervention . After all ...thety have a longgg record of funding "terrorist" groups to.destabalize countries or to overthrow governments.
Imagine what this one is saying? And so your inept government is sitting idly by doing nothing. Mtcheeew.
Glimpsetv: Man Escapes Fulani Kidnappers Disguised as Soldiers on Kabba–Okene Road
A man has narrated how he narrowly escaped from Fulani kidnappers dressed in army uniforms along the Kabba–Okene Road, while other passengers in the vehicle were abducted.
According to him, he fled when the kidnappers began leading the victims deep into the bush, but unfortunately, others were not so lucky. He explained that the attackers first opened fire on their bus, and when the bullets didn’t seem to have much effect, they resorted to using cutlasses.
From the video, the seats of the bus were seen stained with blood, suggesting that some passengers sustained serious injuries. Armed security personnel later arrived at the scene and were seen making inquiries about the movement of the gunmen. However, there was no report yet on whether the kidnappers were being pursued at the time of filing this report.
Sonnobax15: Happy weekend to each and every Nairalander out there......hope y'all are already getting prepared for Donald Trump's evasion?
There was this funny experience I had with VIO personnels when I was still riding Keke. I was on the road that particular day and was in a joyous mood,but was suddenly cut short when I found out VIOs were in front, inspecting the particulars of vehicles and tricycles(Keke). Immediately I remembered how my first experience with them was,and how I wept that day in their office, pleading but they managed to pity me after dropping the sum of 20k before they could release my Keke for me. I remembered how I went to workshop the following day and i dropped the story before my fellow Keke riders and one of them gave me a trick which he had been using whenever he came across VIO. That he'd park his Keke at a very far distance and walk up to them, discuss with them and probably give them a small token and they'd let him pass. What a trick indeed!!!. While I was already here contemplating on the next move to take,the trick just flashed in and I was like--"Make I try am first whether e go work for me"
So I parked at a very far distance as I was told to,but it was quite obvious they had already seen me. I met one of them and explained to him that my road worthiness had expired but if he could please let me pass . He agreed and even requested that I should give him #500 first. I gave him the money and went back to where my Keke was parked. I ignited it and zoomed off,with all my passengers fully intact.
On getting to where they(VIO) were inspecting other vehicles,I discovered that the officer whom I met wasn't there any more. He must had deceived me . Omoh,na once my head first open . Immediately,I knew I was already in another wahala and before I could say jack,I was already ordered to park. I was ordered to bring out my particulars for inspection. That was when I started stammering and before I could realize,all my passengers had already boarded another Keke and I was left to face my fate . Omoh,I could remember myself looking up to the sky and questioning myself --"Obax,why you mumu like this". "I for kukuma drop the passengers make I reverse like I dey do normally before" . But it was already too late.
After spending about 20 minutes there with them, pleading and begging. Finally they freed me,but after collecting all the money I've worked on that day . But I learnt never to take advice from my fellow Keke riders again cuz I realized many of them were always fond of misleading others.
Dear Nairalanders,have anyone had any funny and unforgettable experience with either VIO or FRSC officers before?

Why are you transporters never find time to update your papers until it cost you something big?
People like Reno can no longer asked to be fact checked about how America destroyed those they purported to be helping by plundering their resources. 😃🤣😂😅
Mindlog: "If they don’t want us to attack or kidnap people, they can stop it. However, today, they were the ones who called us, and by God’s grace, we have stopped from today".....What will then happen to all the weapons in their possession?
Why should he sack him? Didn't tinubu himself speak out about mass killing of christians in the north and even went to visit Obama for that.
He's happy Trump is escalating the insecuritiies. Left for this country, the terror can only get worse because these people are in government, army, police and civil service.
The one who disburses and the one receives the budget for fighting insecurity will never want it to end because they are making good money from it.
press9jatv: is Sharia owner of Nigeria. Already America senate and reps have passed the bills banning Sharia laws in Nigeria. Our Nigeria Senate and reps should do the needful on that too.
Which Nigerian senate? Where will they get the votes to ban Sharia when more than 50% of them are Muslims.
DavidMm: My guess is that is what would happen if the FGN disbanded Hisbah in its current form. They will go back to the drawing board and after much dialogue, it will be reorganized in its limited role as it was originally intended. WIN-WIN-WIN for everyone. The non adherents of the religion win because they can live their lives without hindrance from a religion that is not theirs. The adherents win because they get continue being govern by the laws they want. And the FG gets to show the world that they would do the needful to protect the rights of every citizen within its sovereign borders. Low Hanging fruit!
Unfortunately, no sitting president have the political will to pursue such a policy. All Nigerian presidents wants to do is smokescreen development, empower propagandist, win reelection and hang in there till his tenure ends.
safarifarms: Why are you people so obsessed with the South East? Yoruba man Sowere will start a protest against bad governance and you people will call it Igbo protest. Trump threatens action against Christian genocide, you blame South East people when its actually the real victims in Benue that wrote US through the current INEC chairman.
What exactly your problem with the South East people?
Thank God I'm not from the South East. Tough to be hated for no reason.
Safari, don't you know that their hate is what fuels Igbo successes on many fronts? The hater sees you and begins to burn inside while you go about your daily winnings. 😬
Lickinsidetoto3: Christian killing muslims in Edo state and Enugu is not something to look into ba?..... Allahukubar.. call Trump. We will finish em all before una messiah arrive. Nigeria must be Islamized
Pierocash: Lol. The fear of invasion by trump. Of a truth, Nigeria is not mature for self rule. They need outsiders to behave rightly. Even the news of bandits killed doesn't look real
I'm suspicious of this news because I don't know how troops claimed to kill 19 of them and they could recover was just okadas and two phones. What about their rifles?
Still, let's encourage these poor troops who put their lives on the line, while their Ogas are in Abuja flexing with the security budgets and pardoning terrorists and reintegrating them into the army where they now become saboteurs.
Someone on this thread says tinubu is actually happy America is taking the matter up and I totally agree with him.
C'mon guys, this is something he has not been able to confront face to face because of political survival.
And now, another person is doing it for him. Tinubu would be praying for America to pump up the volume.
Whether they call it killing christians or killing Nigerians, they are same things. It's same set of people doing the killings.
At the peak of herdsman malady in the SW, we all saw how tinubu was tongue -tied to the extent of asking where are the cows? Is Evans a herdsman? Just for politics. Even in the face of eye witness account.
We also know as the leader of APC in the zone, he covertly supported the establishment of amotekun to checkmate the activities of herdsmen in the zone but carefully excluding Lagos... for another political correctness.
He wants a second term now, and also is tongue -tied with hands tied behind his back to call a spade a spade even though Nigerians are dying everyday and new terror groups springing up and spreading even into his SW.
So, yes, tinubu is sleeping peacefully since Trump stepped in!
Trump is helping him call out those he's too scared to berate!
I concur with everything you said here.
The Bat should be sleeping most peacefully these days, that's supposing he was loosing sleep before over the insecurities. He seems to be more concerned about playing politics.
budaatum: If you read right, you'd know it's not emotions that sway me, but the logic and rational of his argument. But I don't expect a person who is swayed by his own emotions to understand that at all.
For your information, dump is doing the exact same thing you accuse "FFK, Tinubu and Reno are all on record" doing. They play you with political rhetoric and you vote for them and end up wailing.
APC has ruled you for going on a few years now so perhaps you should consider a change for it's own sake if nothing else. It will show your politicians you decide who rules you and you can kick them out if they rule you wrong.
mastermaestro: Does Tinubu know that you are spilling shit on his behalf? Oga calm down o, nor be food them dey share o. Christian genocide is a serious matter right now. All of you were mute until foreigners took it upon themselves to raise alarm.
FFK was never quite on christian genocide. He's on record for calling out buhari to stop the genocide.
budaatum: I have never respected FFK, but I'm now going to have to change my attitude towards him after this.
Hopefully, he will not make me have to flip again.
It means you are easily swayed by emotions. Same ffk that's been on record all his political life shouting and tweeting "christian genocide"? What has changed now?
The likes of FFK, Tinubu and Reno are all on record calling out government of the day against christian genocide.
Richtaiwo: I don't think is for weapons. Buying weapons at that scale by an individual or a group of individuals is not as easy as you think. Except of course it is official.
So how are Boko Haram and affiliates bringing in their weapons or are they all seized from Nigerian army?
BTW, how much weapon do they need to cripple the guys in the armoury before taking over?
casualobserver: It doesn’t work that way. Every state has a quota. For instance in JAMP, It is because some states don’t have enough qualified applicants that every state has a different cut off mark. Every state has a quota, if you are too qualified in your state too bad for you, if you are not qualified enough, they lower the qualification for your state. Every state has its quota.
No be only JAMP!
Is that why a particular tribe also dominate the top echelon of the security services?
casualobserver: Na lack of common s—— dey do una. If you have 50 slots from each state for example and one state has 1000 applicants and the other has 200. If you cut off half in the 1st round, you will have 500 from one state and 100 from the 2nd. It doesn’t mean they are going to employ the 500, it just means 500 made round 2. Of that 500, 450 are still going to cry because the slot for that state is 50, whether 100 applies or 1m.
If anything it shows you are more likely to be employed if you come from Kano than if you come from Lagos or Ogun.
They have not employed anyone. This is just the number that passed the 1st round.
If not moomoo dey worry you, you should have known that SW having the highest number of prospects would still have the highest number of successful candidates.
