If you force people to open their shops on Monday will you force buyers to also come out and patronize them on Mondays as well

AustineE1:
You can never cease to disappoint,you criticized the governor and like a cheap political hirings,you made mention of your imaginary 'team',i asked to know your team,you quickly started throwing tantrums and insulting your father,how comes you can't take one percent of what you dish out to others?thats intellectual weakness,nobody insulted you,you were only engaged on your claims and you flew up,like the data boy you are,if you were even above average,you should have presented facts and not just acting on impulse.
If you happen to respond to this post then you are nothing but a hungry charlatan.
oga you don't need to know his team. The very short and only road gov. Mbah built in obinagu Nike last year beside their market has already collapsed. All the roads being built in Emene are sub- standard.

Bandits: No Amount of Money Would Make Me Go Back Home, I Swear to God I Will Not Go – Yushau Umar
KannywoodfileMay 8, 2025 3:28 PM

Aisha and her little sister Rafa'atu once lived a peaceful life—attending school and playing freely. But that changed when violence forced their family out of their village. Now, they share a crumbling shanty in Katsina, unsure of what the future holds.

Their family, like thousands across northwest Nigeria, fled their homes due to relentless bandit attacks. Aisha's younger sister could only mutter one word—bandits—when asked why they left. That word alone sums up the terror that has reshaped their lives.

Once a schoolgirl, Rafa'atu now has no idea if she’ll ever return to the classroom. Katsina remains one of the hardest-hit states, yet there are no official IDP camps or government shelters. Instead, displaced families have turned to makeshift homes in informal settlements.

Ibrahim Rimi, a father among the displaced, shared how his once-stable life was destroyed. “We are eight. I built my house with cement, a three-bedroom apartment, food store and a kitchen. Now I am living in a hut,” he said. Another resident added, “When there is calm, that’s when we can think of a mattress. We don’t have that comfort for now.”

Despite the harsh conditions, many say these shanties still feel safer than home. One man, Yushau Umar, made a chilling revelation:

“No amount of money would make me go back home, I swear to god I will not go. I rather get bitten by a snake than to fall into bandits hands. I called my nephew's phone, a bandit picked the call and told me it is not Akilu but a bandit. Shockingly I said a bandit, he said yes a bandit. I then prayed may God protect me from you. The bandit said I am next. Because of that threat, I have never stepped my foot in my hometown.”

For those lucky enough to escape, the scars remain—emotional and psychological. Children no longer go to school, parents have lost their livelihoods, and families live with constant fear.

This is the grim reality for thousands in Katsina. They did not choose to abandon their homes. Banditry forced this life upon them. And until meaningful action is taken, their suffering is bound to continue.

santaclaws:
NDLEA needs to start asking these people who gives them all these drugs and attack it from the root cos e no dey finish! 😧

Sometimes, I pity Igbos and the negative publicity they get online because of these criminals. I believe lots of Igbos are still hardworking and smart, they just need to condemn the epidemic of fast money in their region.
illicit drug dealers from different tribes were arrested from parts of the country, all you did was to open your mouth was and calling Igbos as if it was only them that was mentioned in the article
