And the Boko haram has repented and is rehabilitated....

Why didn't they speak up?

Armed robbers who repent are still tried and executed but terrorists who have killed and destroyed families are rehabilitated and sent back to the society they terrorized. And the clueless government are wondering why terrorists are increasing and getting bolder. Killing gallant soldiers generals like it's nothing.

What a backward thinking concept. It will never work.

We are not yet ready.

When the terrorists brought the General's corpse for burial, nobody pursued them abi.

Babatunjo:
Let me yarn una the truth.

The children in Oyo have been missing one month. One full month. A maths teacher was beheaded. A 2 year old was taken. And what is the federal government's answer? Coordination. Meetings. Press releases. Tactical waiting.

Nonsense.

---

The problem is simple. Our forests are ungoverned. Nobody lives there except terrorists. No checkpoints. No patrols. No consequences. A man can stay in Omo Forest for six months with 40 hostages and nobody comes for him.

Fix the forest first.

Create a proper militarized forest service. Not park rangers with whistles. Soldiers. Armed, trained, with drones and thermal cameras and orders to shoot. Station them across every major forest corridor in Nigeria. Make the bush dangerous for criminals, not safe.

Harden the borders at flashpoints. Oyo-Kwara, Oyo-Benin Republic corridors. Electronic surveillance. Physical barriers. Make entry and exit difficult.

Build a border force that actually fights. Not customs officials checking bags at a gate.

Find the sponsors. Follow the guns. Brand new AK-47s don't grow in forests. Somebody is importing them. Somebody is moving them in trailers to the bush. Find that person. That politician. That government official. Arrest him and try him publicly.

---

Now the hard truth.

Change the hostage policy. Make it official government position that terrorists holding hostages will be neutralised regardless. Yes, even if hostages die in the process.

I know how that sounds. But hear the logic.

Right now terrorists take children BECAUSE it works. Government panics, negotiates, pays. Repeat. The child is not a victim to them. The child is a business tool. Remove the tool's value and the business changes.

The moment government announces that hostage taking will be met with force regardless of outcome, the calculation changes. No ransom. No negotiation. Just bullets. Suddenly a child is no longer a shield. Suddenly the risk is too high.

Painful policy. But the alternative is what we have now. Children taken every month, ransoms paid every month, more guns bought every month, more children taken next month.

---

And hear this clearly. If this thing is not crushed now, it will reach you. Yes, you reading this in Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja. Right now it is Oriire, Ekiti, Kwara border. Give it two years of this same negotiation and delay and it will be your street. Your child's school gate.

Insurgencies don't stay in one place. They follow where government is weak. And right now government is very weak everywhere.

---

The solution is not complicated. Govern the forests. Harden the borders. Change the hostage policy. Jail the sponsors.

But all of it needs one thing we don't have.

A government willing to accept short term pain for long term peace. Willing to let some hostages die today so thousands are safe tomorrow. Willing to arrest a senator if he funded terrorists.

Until somebody has that kind of guts, we will keep burying teachers and releasing statements.

God help us.

Politics will never allow them to do this.

As it stands today APC wins.... Hands down. The opposition are not serious.

Tinubu must go protest is just people letting off steam with no clear direction and at the end of the day Tinubu remains.
Because how will Tinubu go without being voted out?
How will he be voted out when the people protesting have no pvc?
How will they get Pvc when Inec is frustrating the process with no network?
Several people who even have pvc have checked and thier names are no longer on the portal. How will these ones vote.
In 15 days the time to register new pvc will elapse.

Then where is the credible opposition that is poised to take over? The opposition that only primaries conducted and they are all fighting themselves.
If they get into power It may be a case of the devil you know is better than that angel you do not know.

Nigeria we hail thee.

There is no network in INEC server to register new pvc for days now. And this distraction protest will keep people engaged till the time to get pvc expires.

Keep your eyes on the ball.

What about government officials that negotiate with bandits. As early as 2weeks ago video emerged of bandits meeting with state government officials in a northern state in a peace meeting with terrorists.

And they are still granting amnesty and negotiating with the Bandits.

Ironfaceman:
If you are a Nigerian fan and you paid
$5785 for ticket,
$10000 for visa bond,
$1750 for 2 way ticket to Yankee,
$1000 for B&B
$500 For uber
$1000 For BTA
And you see an empty stadium. How will you feel.

Am I mad? Over 25 million naira to just watch a match.

Is this propaganda the best strategy by NDC?


SMH.... 🤔

You guys have a very long way to go.

NDC are not yet ready to challenge APC.... . 🤔

The handwriting is already on the wall. NDC is not ready to challenge the ruling party. It may win some seats in the house of reps and maybe a senatorial seat or two but they are not ready to challenge the ruling party for any State Governor not to talk of the presidency.


I will come back here after the election.

End open grazing.
Anyone moving cows in the forest that is not his own should be treated like a terrorist.

Cashless policy. Reduce physical cash. So that bandits can't get ransom payments in cash.

National database. In many countries you must carry your ID around without an ID you can be detained and deported. People move freely in Nigeria without any form of identity. Bandits display thier faces freely online because they are not in any database.

Details of Movement of people at motor Parks, Airports, seaports hotels should be monitored by security agents.

Surveillance cameras should be mounted in public places like city centers and linked to hubs. Drones should be used routinely to survey forests and check illegal activities there.

Hussein035:
The issues of banditry and kidnapping get so serious because people keep paying millions to criminals whose father never gather 200k in his life time, how do we expect them to stop

Once the government chose to kill kidnappers within 48 hours by hanging in public others will learn

No negotiation with kidnappers. A sad story of a young girl who was kidnapped and then asked to call her father for ransom. She told her father not to pay anything as she can't live with herself as she was r*ped each night. The kidnappers killed her on the spot. There are several instances of after collecting a ransom the Bandits end up killing the abducted.

The government needs to see the dangers of negotiating with kidnappers. It never ends well. Once the security agencies have a zero tolerance for bandits and they know that there be no negotiations with them kidnapping will reduce.

The cashless policy is also important to curb large cash movement.

saintkel:
Dis bandits are in d forest of that state....people must have seen them pass by...d problem is...can't we trace n eliminate dis bastards?...and from henceforth...any bandits caught should not be pictured alive again....since dis guys wnt fire for fire

Bandits can disguise themselves and move freely in the forests like herdsmen. No one will suspect a herdsman. End open grazing and reduce the kidnapping issue.

I keep saying it that the opposition are not serious. If it was APC by now INEC would have been feeling serious heat but they are just quiet.

Ha ha ha😅😅😅

They got caught with thier hands in the cookie jar. Lies, lies, lies😂😂😂 ...... One of INEC staff is being setup to take the fall. Even a novice IT personnel will never send such information the way it was exposed.

The opposition are still sleeping. They dont even know the seriousness of this breach.

Nigeria we hail thee.

brain54:
Nigerians will make noise about this for 2 or 3 days max...


And then the matter will die down. With nothing exactly serious coming out of the whole issue.


Our politicians know this... that's why they take citizens for a ride!

Sadly you are very correct. A Distraction will soon emerge and keep everyone busy while the main issues are quickly forgotten.

Kukutente23:
It's funny that 24hrs after this news broke and none of the opposition figures are saying anything
It either means there's nothing to it or the opposition is simply unserious

It seems that they are yet to fully understand what just got exposed.

Christistruth03:
Transfer of PVC to another Location is not confidential information
A public announcement is made concerning it

Inec even publishes it's updated voters Register for every location so it would be very easy to know if Emeka Ike is in the updated FCT Voters Register or not

Why are Obidients such Drama Queens

They always leap off the Cliff edge before looking

https://cvradmin.inecnigeria.org/Login/index is not a public website stop being clever by half. Voters Register transfer details can be published publicly but assess it directly on the server can never be done by a member of the public. Only an accredited inec staff can do that.

I'm really interested to see how they would spin this....... if only people knew the magnitude of this breach ahh.

Him being able to access the admin portal sends a grave signal about the independence and partisanship of inec.

Everyone raising suspicions of inec's collusion with APC just got another reason.

Keep your eyes on the ball this is a distraction.

Na everybody go chop breakfast.

The greatest joke is that some people are still expecting a free and fair election next year.
From the time Amupitan disowned his X account despite clear and damaging links to him via his email........I knew it was all over.
They are now so brazen now as to rub it in our faces.
Only an INEC staff can login to the backend https://cvradmin.inecnigeria.org/Login/index and access the voters register directly.

Who sentences a hardened kidnapper to 5years.

It's better to face an armed robber than a kidnapper because the robber takes what you have at the moment and let's you go. A kidnapper asks for what you don't have and kills you if you can't provide it.

As for the insecurity. As long as cattle herders roam free it will never end

And these Bandits are people that would later say they are repentant?

We'll have a WAZOBIA race next year.

WA - PBAT
ZO - ATIKU
BIA - OBI

All of them are strong contenders. Who will win.

Only time will tell.

Counterigbolies:
Very soon if these countries say enough is enough and they fight back, they will start blackmailing them by calling them xenophobic.

Till tomorrow I stand with south Africa in anything they do cos I spent 3 good years there and even me I wasn't proud about what our brothers do there

In south Africa, our brothers have messed up virtually everywhere that many of us don't introduce ourselves as Nigerians and those at home who don't know anything will b quick to call them xenophobic.

An incident happened when I was there, a Nigerian was stranded and a south African family decided to accommodate him pending the time he will get something reasonable doing.

They told him to wash their cars, walk their children to school and do little garden tendering, believe u me this guy was low-key selling hard drugs under their roof that the method he deviced was to hide it inside those kids school bags so as not to b bursted at check points.

One day he forgot the hard drugs inside and the children got to school n taught it was powder and they played with it, unfortunately 3 kids died, investigation was done and the Nigerian was apprehended only for the police to release him the 3rd day after they were bribed

The south Africans found d man, killed it in the Nigerian settlement they found him n burnt all houses in the place.

The news came out here and Nigerians who don't know the story here started shouting xenophobia, I just shake head

Send the news link of this story.

If you notice the pattern, this is exactly what VDM wants. So that he can claim victimization and manipulate people to start a free vdm movment.
