For 8 years under Buhari, GEJ's Facebook posts on alternate weeks used to be him encouraging Nigerians to pray for the country, wishing it well, while asking us to hold still as the country gets better, even as he got dragged through the mud by the APC for 5 years.

I just checked his page now. He no longer cares or posts about the Nigerian situation. Just updates about his work and wishing his Nigerian friends on their birthdays well while those who blamed him for every woe in the country fill the comment section with, "Sir, say something. We are dying. Tell Buhari (now Tinubu) what we are facing", and he ignores all as he should.

U dey mind APC apologists ?

Even after Jonathan left , For 8 years he was blamed for his actions and inactions while he was president of this country. Sudeenly Buhari Buhari is an anointed that shouldn’t be mentioned 7 months after he left seat of power .

People wey go get headache go just get headache .

Maybe they should just release all Boko Haram and ISWAP members in custody to fight Bandits in the Northwest and North Central.

The things some educated people say at times ehn, u will just shake ur head and feel those who have not seen the four walls of a school are more reasonable than them.

Is Abba Kyari the only police officer who single handedly fights insecurity in this country ? He doesn't have superiors, contemporaries and subordinates who are equally capable ?

Maybe they should kukuma disband the police force na since Abba Kyari is the single tree that makes the forest. Awon Oniyeye!

You can lie sha. This was my post under your post.

very easy to blame Buhari for everything. In Jos, blame Buhari, in Abuja blame Buhari, in Kaduna just blame Buhari. Blame him even when he is not the president anymore.

Buhari should carry guns and start protecting everybody in Katsina.

When Buhari was the president, you said he is Fulani that's why the Fulani guys are doing anyhow, now he has left but insecurity still persists.

Is this how to even criticize someone? What do you want Buhari to do right now?

When Buhari was the president, he was blamed for Insecurity, I blamed him too but he has left and I am understanding right now that insecurity is something that is hard to tackle as the president in a country like Nigeria.


You now said this "Alhaji Monerozi is telling me to keep Buhari’s name out of my mouth because he has a Buhari effigy in his house he worships and kiss when he wakes and before he sleeps ". And I replied you should stop shouting Buhari Buhari everytime.

And u didn’t see it in my initial post that I motioned Buhari campaigned on the strength that he was going to solve our insecurity challenge and not add to it ?

I blamed Buhari for reneging on this promise and u jump into my mention chatting shiiit. What do u expect in return ? A complementary post or kiss on both cheeks ?

For ur information , I’m not here to wake u and others that pretend to be asleep .

monerozi5590:
Anytime you start losing an argument, you start bringing insults just shows how smart you are.

Maybe you didn't see clashes there in Ogun and Oyo.

U are a fooolish person ! When u told me I opened my mouth to shout Buhari u didn’t know u started the insults ba?

Is that how to have a civil discussion ? Did I mention u before u jumped into my mention and started telling me I opened my mouth to shout Buhari ? U think u are the only person that has prerogative of determining what an insult is ?

iamoyindamola:
These guys are not smart
They believe they are untouchable in the forest, I blame the government and useless military people
All those one know is flex muscle with civilians

It’s because they know they will always get away with it na . DSS go dey track u if u insult politician but they won’t track terrorists ….smh

[color=royalblue]I am seeing some broadcast messages on WhatsApp that there is a new vehicle document that has been introduced.

CMR, and it costs 10k.

Abeg who don confirm this?[/color]

I saw it too. I’ve asked my guy who does vehicle papers to confirm if it’s compulsory or not . I know CMR is done just once, but I don’t why it has suddenly turn to an annual thing .

I recently renewed my vehicle papers and had to pay for the yearly period of ownership Tinubu introduced .

I wanted to comment on it yesterday but I want to get my info right first . Make e no be like say person dey react to information wey person no hear from official sources

monerozi5590:
I should show you evidence of clashes. Your gra gra too much. I am done with this your bias take.

This is copied from a write up in 2013 before Buhari became the president. Finding it difficult to upload screenshot.

In Nigeria, the Fulani have continued to clash with sedentary farming communities in Plateau, Ogun, Oyo, Sokoto, Nassarawa, Benue, Rivers, Bauchi, Yobe, Enugu, Cross-Rivers states and the Federal Capital Territory. The war being fought with the Tiv is fought in Tiv territories of Benue and Nassarawa state, where the Tiv have lived in the last three centuries, farming; rice, yams, cassava, beniseed, soya beans, and keeping their own cattle the Muturu cows. The Benue state and Tivland is Nigeria’s bread basket.

U post an article that says Fulani clashes with Tiv’s in Benue to prove Fulani overrun a Yoruba town/village in the south west ?

I can see it’s not just Buhari that is not smart , but his followers and asslickers too. Go back to ur google search and bring me evidence of Fulani herdsmen having the mind to burn down a Yoruba village like this prior to Buhari and I will start taking u serious that u are not just an irritant who would praise Buhari even if he oversaw the worst administration in this country security wise .

This country is gone ! 💔💔💔

See Fulani kidnappers making Snapchat videos with their victims .

[color=royalblue]I don't think there's any mining site near there.

Maybe na there dem dey pack the materials and dynamites.

And if it is illegal, be very sure that it won't be known to the public; I mean their activities[/color]

I just read the news on FP and in a way I feel it is premature for Seyi Makinde to have declared it is linked to activities of illegal miners when they still have sketchy details about the incident . Anyways I understand he needs to give the press something as at the press time , but let’s see what time will reveal .

Good morning to the Supreme Council of Sharia in Nigeria

[color=royalblue]The Governor said it was dynamites from illegal miners

Gasland has issued a statement that it wasn't them.

I can't say, but nobody is pointing to gas.[/color]

Na wa o. Which mineral resources dey Oyo wey dem dey mine for that specific location ?

I guess in the coming days we will get a clearer view of what actually happened sha

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Nigerians should learn to relax...

So, in the end, it wasn't Gas or Gasland.

I have seen and Gasland and been to Ventura mall, just metres from UI, and i have been wondering how that explosion would shake Ibadan.

Even the gas explosion we had at Abule Egba sometime in Lagos, didn't shake the whole Alimosho sef.

May God have mercy on the dead and comfort their families. [/color]

So wetin cause the explosion ?

monerozi5590:
So before Buhari, there were no clashes between Fulani herdsmen and people in the South West?

Do you even know when those clashes started. Everytime you will just open your mouth and be shouting Buhari Buhari.

Why are you not blaming Obasanjo for every insecurity in Ogun State. He was once the president too?

Didn't Buhari government tackle Bokoharm insurgency? Did you know those guys created a state in Nigeria and hoist their flag,? Where is all that now?

Where were you when people in the North couldn't go to church or mosque because of fear of bomb blast . People couldn't even go out in gathering. Bomb blast everywhere even in Abuja.


You think kidnapping started under Buhari? Go and read the history of kidnapping in Nigeria, not everytime you open your mouth and be shouting Buhari. Buhari is no longer the president.

You must be a joker to be trivializing the carnage witnessed under buahri’s administration by asking me if there was no insecurity in Nigeria before Buhari became the president .

You will need to show me evidence of Fulani herdsmen overrunning a Yoruba town/village like the did at Igangan prior to Buhari’s administration before I will take u serious . Maybe u live under the rock and only have access to news via BBC hausa on ur transistor radio; certainly I do not. It was under Buhari’s administration I saw video of a Yoruba man interviewed on his farm in Oyo state narrating how his two arms were chopped off by Buhari’s brothers who chose to reside in the bush while he was working in his farm .

It was under Buhari’s administration people were being taxed by non state actors before the can harvest their farm produce up north .

As per ur last paragraph , attached is a screenshot of APC in 2022 ( 7 years after Buhari took over power ) accusing Jonathan of incubating Boko Haram ; yet u Alhaji monerozi is being sensitive and don’t want me to mention Buhari for his role in incubating his Fulani brothers and their atrocities not only in the north but even farther south .

I know u don’t like to hear this but it is what it is ; Buhari was a complete failure on the security/insecurity spectrum . He oversaw a country in which non state actors were attacking an airport , train services , Nigerian defence academy; heck! They even attacked his own advance team .

Buhari’s name should even be substituted in the Oxford dictionary with the word ineptitude . Banza !

Buhari was the president for 8 years and he was the GCFR cum CSO. Buhari became the president on the wings of Jonathan being a failure security wise .

Prior to Buhari being the president there was Boko Haram rampaging in the north east and everybody blamed Jonathan for being a failure and called for his head. Buhari campaigned he was going to make Nigeria safe once again and he became the president.

During Buhari’s tenure Boko Haram still operated albeit at a nominal level , Fulani herdsmen became a thing and they didn’t limit their madness to the north central where the reigned supreme; they made incursions into almost every other region in the country bar the south south and south east minimally .

Bandits sprang up in the northwest and kidnappings became unprecedented , Bandits began raining more havoc than Boko Haram ever did; they attacked schools , airports , churches , villages and even Nigerian Defence Academy while Buhari was president .

Today people are being sacked from their villages in Buhari’s home state , yet a certain Alhaji Monerozi is telling me to keep Buhari’s name out of my mouth because he has a Buhari effigy in his house he worships and kiss when he wakes and before he sleeps .

Till date people still blame Jonathan for allowing Boko Haram to grow exponentially under his administration by looking away when he should’ve taken a drastic decision to crush them at infancy . Yet u would not want us to state the fact about how Buhari played dumb when his brothers were rampaging but kept gagging the press through NBC to control what and what they report . Smh 🤦‍♂️

iamoyindamola:
Nah gas explosion can't release such waves and tremors
About 5 to 6 locations were affected
Go twitter see the effects and aftermath this one no be gas

Ballzproblem2:
thread on FP say na tremor, which one we go believe?


make God help us o , being a Nigerian on its own na risk.

If no be kidnappers,na reckless drivers or armed robbers now this.

https://www.nairaland.com/7972240/two-dead-gas-explosion-rocks

This thread mentioned gas explosion. One happens in Lagos not quite long and it was later discovered it was gas explosion.

I’m sure we will get the full gist much later

Realmrsean:
What is happening in ibadan? Bomb 💣 blast

Its most likely a gas explosion. Gas explosion always shake buildings and shatter glass ; so I’m guessing people are confusing it for bomb blast

Realmrsean:
Why is no one talking about shell leaving?

Maybe the competitions in the oil and gas sector is chasing them

Shell has been having issues with their host communities in the Niger Delta for years . I think at a point they were ordered to pay $15m as compensation for their oil spillage activities in some communities .

Probably they got tired of the constant disputes they were having with host communities , “Deve money “ and other matters arising .

At least when local consortium buy over shell’s business they will know how to sort their fellow countrymen out.

Like the Wagner Group rescued Mikel's father in 2018 on Abrahomivic's orders before our security forces could finishing drafting their shitty press releases.

More shame for us.

Funny that Nigeria is also currently bidding to host AFCON.
Imagine Salah and Onana disappearing with their team buses in the suburbs of Abuja...

U will be surprised the Egyptian armed forces will rescue Sallah before Nigerian authorities even finish their emergency meeting

So People don even dey abandon their home in Buhari’s home state Katsina due to insecurity ?

Funnily if there’s an election tomorrow and Buhari miraculously finds his name on the ballot, these people will still vote him even in IDP camp. Smh 🤦‍♂️

The only thing people want to read at this time is either that the kidnappers have been killed or that they have been arrested and all victims freed.

They can do their emergency meeting behind closed doors and without the press and just give us results.

Guy no dey disguise. We don notice that when we call out Wike here, the next day Wike dey spring into action.

Abeg I need two plots of land for Abuja with C of O. Help me run am through wike na

[color=royalblue]Until we have an enlightened population, we are not going anywhere.

A more informed people reduces the chance to rig or manipulate.

When people tell you the North have the numbers, it is basically to prey on their illiteracy.

Despite how long we have accused them of being in the corridors of power, they still cannot match the South.[/color]

You are right. But this country looks as if we will never have an enlightened population in the right sense of it.

I was disappointed in a lot of people who are close friends and relatives for their utterances and the mentality they displayed during the last electioneering process. Like some things some people whom I perceived to be intelligent and well enlightened said and and attitude they displayed shocked me.

It now looked as if I never really knew people, I thought I knew.

afrodoc2:
Hahaha. I don’t think you remember my punishment plan.

It is automatic jail terms for all elected Nigerian officials, right from ward to national level. Not slap on the wrist sentences but decades in jail. Non-negotiable and no rights to litigation or appeal.
The judges too won’t be left out of the largesse. They too will jembe.

Who go dey pack dem put for jail ? No be elected officials or already corrupt government workers ?

afrodoc2:
They need to be put through that punishment plan I detailed sometime ago.

Crime and punishment should be the order of the day. Unforgiving punishment.

They need to be put through the pain that alters.

Those that would oversee the justice system are equally corrupt

izzou:
[color=royalblue]They know what to do!

But poverty is what keeps them in power. The poorer the people, the more you can rig and manipulate.

That's true though, but for how long do we continue like this? And we've all agreed that military rule is usually worse than civilian rule.

So what do we do ? Pray? Be hopeful they will grow conscience some day?

afrodoc2:
Do you know the population of the country and the proportion of people who are struggling?

That ministry was dead from conception. Even if they don’t embezzle the funds, it won’t put a dent in the suffering on the streets.

Exactly! It's just an avenue for people to further embezzle scarce resources.

Anything that involves aggregating N5000, N10,000 to be shared to thousands or millions of people in this country is just another avenue for those in charge to steal.

At times it just seem as if our leaders cannot just think of what will genuinely alleviate the suffering of the people long term.

TrebleChamp:
So Tinubu truly approved ₦3bn to verify Buhari social register? How many Govt Schools or Hospital that ₦3bn go equip? He should have scrap that Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs when he became President, but the Tinubu i know will even create more ministries and Agency to compensate his faithfuls with appointments.

https://www.nairaland.com/7971505/tinubu-approved-n3bn-national-social

Since this BETTAgate started I've been saying it loud and clear: Let them scrap the damn humanitarian ministry! I know so many vulnerable people in this Lagos and I've not seen one single benefit from the many humanitarian schemes they put in place

At the risk of veering away from a topical sociopolitical issue, Football's very own god, Leo Messi, won Fifa The Best last night. And we are all not going to act like greatness wasn't on display again. The sweet spot being he was also voted by:
- Real Madrid's Valverde and Modric, his archrivals in club football, and;
- Mbappe and Portugal's coach, his rivals in international football.

You know who has a closer link with these people? The other guy. Yet they voted Messi as the Best. Not like it needed proving.
You know why? Of course, you know why. It's the same reason the Earth stopped revolving for hours last night, why asteroids in outer space were frozen in motion, the universe stopped expanding for a few hours...

Last night, the universe kept vigil. I did too for most parts. And for the hours it lasted, a god descended from his throne to walk amongst mere mortals; humbling himself to revel in their praises and accept their awards.

Last night, Lionel Messi rekindled humanity's belief in the divine, again. All hail the King!

Messi is the god of football who came to this earth to bless we mortals with his majestic presence.

Nigerian kidnappers no get the kin patience or motivation to dey stalk Nairaland sports section take find victims. Most Naija kidnappings na in-house matter, highway kidnap or good old stalking/bombing middle-class/upper middle-class areas like was done in Abuja. That said, I agree with the idea behind what you're saying, it's good to maintain a reasonable amount of safety online and it's not just because of fear of kidnap.

Exactly. Wetin concern kidnapper and stalking person nairaland account ? Why waste so much time and resources on such surveillance when they can just shoot their way into a highbrow or middle class estate, kidnap their victims, call their loved one's to arrange for ransom and they smile to the bank?

Bandits/Kidnappers/terrorists have attacked schools, private residences, religious centers and even military barracks without stalking anybody online to carry out their operations successfully.

I don’t follow .

U said Policemen stationed in banks don’t misbehave like others and I only pointed it out to u that they are actually well motivated. That’s why u see them caught in cross fire when robberies happen . They are motivated to give their best unlike those who get paid paltry salaries and will pull off their uniform once they hear robbery is happening in a neighborhood .

I’m actually not arguing anything with u.
