If Amotekun failed tomorrow (God forbid) but eventually it does you all will remember that you have been advised,

Its easy to Kickstart but sustainability is the major task, starting from the

leadership: who will head Amotekun, each state will want to be the head, and once you have a bad head at the start up that's the downfall of Amotekun.

Recruitment: some states will be marginalized

Police and other agency: there will never be a synergy between the two, go and ask Civil Defense Corps, the later is still finding it difficult then who is Amotekun,

State Governors and Financing: out current state governors that they so wicked, to pay salaries and pensions become the hardest thing to do, funding Amotekun will be a problem to some state, with time some states will begin to pull out, and this will crash the program, curbing security and maintaining it gulp alot of funds, and southwest governors should not even think they will get a bailout from FG, this will cause uproar from the other region. Southwest governors will have to go sourcing for extra fund to support Amotekun.

Corruption: when the leadership is full with hungry lions then the downfall of Amotekun is certain. This will radiate down to the lowest officer.

My take:
Let the Amotekun be controlled at the grassroots, that's by state just as Tinubu and IBB spelt out or else Amotekun is dead before arrival, that's the honest truth take it or leave it.

You're talking trash brother. When we get to the bridge we will cross it. Why are you preemptive? Hasn't the Nigerian security outfits failed?. This is the first time we would be having one region in charge of all security and paramilitary outfits yet bloodshed every where. Amotekun will not fail because it doesn't matter who heads it, it will be our own. We have rotational leadership in Lautech and has it failed? Same with O'dua investment. We are one destiny by blood. Not state or township can divide us. We don't want doomsday prophecy abeg.

GoTV:
As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think this amoketun issue is being hypocritically blown out of proportion to expand hatred for other tribes especially the Fulanis. Why must we Christians be the brain behind the vast support for Amotekun when the Nigerian constitution is clear about the roles of the armed forces and police in the security of the country? Why must we form an ethnic militia to target fellow Nigerians when the constitution guarantees freedom of movement and doing business nationwide as long as we are Nigerians? What we fail to realize is that the south east cheering on Amotekun sees its as a synonym for their biafra agitations and they will rather support anything that will disband the relative peace and unity of Nigeria. The IPOB sympathizers will be the one to cry wolf when Amotekun starts targeting their tribesmen who commits various crimes in the south west. MURIC recently condemned the killing of a CAN pastor and sympathized with we Christians, how many Christians will condemn the killing of an imam or Muslims? Instead we rejoice when tragedy strikes them forgetting we are all humans before religion. Instead of emulating our Muslim brothers who have remained silent on this issue of Amotekun, we Christians are disturbing the cyberspace with hypocritical comments. Amotekun will never see the light of the day as long as we remain one Nigeria. It's a bad policy and a tribalistic security outfit aimed at persecuting other Nigerians. On behalf of we Christians, i condemn Amotekun. Let's learn to live in peace and harmony

You don't know what you're saying brother. If you have lost a brother or family to the marauding Fulani terrorist I'm sure you would know better. This is simply to prevent such from happening. Did the constitution guarantee a herdsman the right to graze on someone else' farms? How many of those saboteurs have been arrested and prosecuted? Right to life is far greater than any constitution. Get that down.

Women and destruction are like twins. Imagine how they find a way to destroy great families and relationships. The Psquare issue, Plantasun boys, Biggie and Tupac beefs...no all the way to the British monarchy. I fear una o

This is strong. I'm not married but I would tell you things I could do if I were in your shoes.

Are you a Yoruba man?

Also, there is something called "man" I think you need to make a stand. Both your mom and wife may get you killed and blame it on you, God forbid. Let it be known to both parties that henceforth you want to take charge. No more persuasion or trying to get one to see reason. They will either do things your way or both of them may forget about you.

Truth is women are witches by nature. Eventually your wife will raise your son to hate your mom and one useless Pastor will soon have a vision that your mom is evil. You need to be a man.

Women sometimes like to be yelled at. Call both to a meeting... No begging, no smiling, no appealing, just list rules and regulations. Your wife must listen to your rules and so must your mom.

As long as they are both around you or under your roof, they must live by your rules. Also, your wife is younger and let her know there's no excuse for being cold at your mom. We need you alive brother. Take your authority back from those witches!!!

Stop spreading fake news...according to the supreme court Imo will be delivered last...it's now clear all these bloggers are just paid hypemen with no shame...

Keep deceiving the gullible...with Louis Vuitton shoes abi? Not all of us are idiots you know..

chigoizie7:
I do not know why people do not know the difference between.

“Am” and “I am”(I’m).

It is confusing.

Hmmm....you got me there. Thanks for that.

I have to appreciate you for taking time to read this. I'm about to take a big step in my life and I need honest advice and answers.

I'm planning and hoping to really settle down this year so any relationship I have right now is towards marriage, however, I have a girl friend who also seems to be ready to settle down and I have huge respect for her. However, I have always believed that my authority in a relationship or marriage should not be up for debate. I am a very good listener and also very loving and I find it hard to double date although, I have some women I'm keeping on standby because I've seen enough to understand nothing is guaranteed.

So I told my girlfriend I want to meet her family, she insisted I see her Pastor first or forget about it because she is scared if she takes any man home it must surely be the man she wants to marry.

My challenge is I am not a fan of Pastors these days because I know 80% of them are criminals and I can never have my wife respect her Pastor more than me or even discuss my affairs with her Pastor. Many of these clowns take advantage of women so I have always had my reservations and she knows.

Now she wants me to see the Pastor or forget it in her own words. I was furious with that statement because I have no time to check time but I've also come to realise women are so complex and from experience you can loose a good one for a simple mistake so I don't want to judge her by that statement as it could be out of anger, there's no guarantee the next one I'm meeting will be better off.

I told her let me speak to your Pastor over the phone she said NO. I'm not subjecting myself to any man of God to start thinking he's guiding my life or anything. I was raised right in a Christian home and when I need God I seek him myself.

I need help on what I must do in this case and how I can convince her to see reason. I hope this issue won't end our relationship but I won't from onset become a slave to a fellow man in the name of spiritual father...

I won't pretend to know it all so I need advice please. Marriages is no joke.

Snowale:
It's better you stop hating, millions of northerners everyday including me, curse for those that are against us, our haters, our enemies. Our prayers is that our enemies will never prosper, to the extent that they will keep shouting and shouting and shouting, they won't have the power to touch us a little bit. Stop hating it's for your good

Hating on you? It's obvious you'll do worse if you're in position of authority. You already have Boko Haram and banditry...your people are even now recruited for highway robbery and kidnapping in the South. Continue in your self destruction..

The third reason OP wrote about less educated state is enough to have ABU's license withdrawn. How can a whole university be talking about less educated and there's denying someone with the right results for some idiots with lower grades in the name of less educated. Education is never by force. I can truly see the North is holding us back as a nation indeed.

Femi Adesina just like Tinubu is another useful idiot.

Its simple...log on the code on the betting website...if it was paid out it would be indicated and you can behead the agent straight up!

All this cases started before PMB came on board. Mind you it was even PDP that signed the law that made it impossible to delay court judgements further by seeking stupid adjournment. Kudos to PMB on fun recovery by the way.

I would be an idiot like Mr Femi Adesina to expect less or even believe this fallacy. Of course the said young man may have his reasons but for the clown ass licker here to choose to imply the view of this "virtual" young man represents the view of majority and intentionally ignore the view of the many on social media is a proof that Mr Adesina is an idiot and a big fool. As Mr Adesina ever told us a single time he disagreed with the President before?. Of course not..with all the education this clown has, he has subjected himself to a YES because of loaves of bread.

We have a lot of extremists in Africa and this may backfire. Quit stupid partisanship, this move is too delicate for our fragile internal security. We are a country with no database, how do we monitor this invaders. Kuku tell us the targets are Fulani's in Guinea, Sudan, Mali etc who are looking for new country to call home.

Ogbomosho... There's a borehole drilling done by hand (manual labour), it's cheaper than the ones done the movable van.

Please does anyone here knows an expert in borehole drilling?. I need borehole in my farm for irrigation. Thanks.

You said all these about Islam yet the reality is in contrast from Saudi to Yemen to Africa. Obviously, muslims need better soul searching...

IAmStrange:
Congratulations

And aside for the degree, another thing that gives me joy is how the educational system in many parts of the world will be after the coming of Imes.

in Shaa Allaah, the greatest and most advanced the world has ever seen.

The Kuffar think education is peculiar to them. they even go to the extent of calling it "Western Education".

They think Islam is a religion of which it's components and doctrines are limited to religious rituals and practises only. rather, Islam covers spiritual and worldly life

This is due to the weakness of the Muslims of today and because they have the upper hand and that has gotten to their heads and made them arrogant and they say Islam doesn't encourage civilization.

just because many Muslims today lack deep knowledge of the Deen and are acting in ways contrary to the Deen and has caused us to become wrak. They judge from the actions of these people and say Islam doesn't encourage civilization and they feel proud because of what they have achieved.

By the time Imes will come to establish the civilization influenced by the doctrines of Islam, the likes of which has most likely never been seen, it will shock them to the bone marrow in Shaa Allaah

Indeed Islam has its civilization, the best! The Muslims of the earliest generations who stuck and stayed true to the Deen advanced in civilization and development. It's something clear from history that even non Muslim historians and philosophers attested to it.

Like:

The French philosopher Gustave le Bon stated
in his book The Civilization of the Arabs:
We must bear in mind that the Arabs – and the
Arabs alone – are the ones who guided us to
the ancient world of the Greeks and Romans.
European universities, including the University
of Paris, based their curricula on translations of
their books for six hundred years and used
their methods of research. The Islamic
civilization was one of the most amazing that
history has ever known. End quote.

1 – The French thinker Gustave le Bon says in
his famous book The Civilization of the Arabs
(translated into Arabic by ‘Aadil Zu’aytar):
If the Arabs had taken over France, then Paris
would have become like Cordova in Spain, a
centre of civilization and knowledge, where the
man in the street was able to read and write,
and even compose poetry, at a time when the
kings of Europe did not even know how to write
their names!

2 – The German Orientalist Sigrid Hoeneker
said, in her famous book The Sun of Allaah is
Rising in the West, concerning the spread of
libraries in the Arab and Muslim world:
The libraries grew in every place like plants in
good soil. In 891 CE a traveller put the number
of public libraries in Baghdad as more than one
hundred. Every city had a library where any
ordinary man could borrow whatever he wanted,
or sit in its halls to study and read whatever he
wanted. Translators and writers also gathered in
halls that were set aside especially for them,
discussing and debating as happens nowadays
at academic conferences of the highest level.
The title of this book, which was originally
written in German, means, “The light of Islam
illuminates western civilization. This book is
filled with the names of Muslim inventors, both
Arabs and non-Arabs.

3 – Read these words by a Russian intellectual
who explains that this religion served humanity
and led to advancement and civilization.
Tolstoy said:
There can be no doubt that the Prophet
Muhammad was one of the greatest reformers
who have rendered great services to human
society. It is sufficient to say that he guided an
entire nation to the light of truth, and made it
incline towards tranquility and peace, and
preferred a life of asceticism, and prevented
bloodshed and human sacrifice; he showed
them the way to advancement and civilization.
This is a great achievement that can only be
made by one who is given strength; such a
man is deserving of respect and honour.

4 – The Austrian doctor Shabrak said:
Mankind should be proud to have a man such
as Muhammad as a member, for despite being
illiterate he was able, ten-plus centuries ago, to
bring laws that we and other Europeans would
be very happy if we could reach the same
level.

5 – In the field of medicine and surgery, the
Muslims played an undeniable role.
The British writer H. G. Wells says in his book
Milestones in Human History:
They advanced in medicine far beyond the
Greeks, they studied science and the functions
of various parts of the body, and preventative
medicine. Many of the treatment methods that
they used are still used by us until today. They
used anaesthetics for their operations and they
used to perform some of the most difficult
surgeries that are known. At a time when the
church used to forbid the practice of medicine
in the expectation that a full recovery could be
achieved through religious rituals performed by
the bishops, the Arabs had a true knowledge of
medicine. End quote.

He also said:

Every religion that is not suited to civilization
should be rejected. I have not found any
religion that is suited to civilization except
Islam. End quote.

It was when Muslims drifted away from true conservation Islam and they started getting influenced by the cunning Westerners that we lost our glory.

But hey! Imes is coming and when Imes comes, in Shaa Allaah, we shall regain our glory and Muslims will rise and advance in civilization again.

At that time, I will like to see any Kaafir who would say that Islam doesn't encourage civilization

Imes, we wait your coming

There is only one idiot in the whole story and that is you my friend. Let's agree your babe trusted her friend and decided to help. You even claimed to be a randy type in the past. The truth was you enjoyed the toto to even have it more than once. Just few days my babe asked me to wait in her room while she was on her way with her roommate. I declined and waited outside for 2 hours standing instead...you know why? The Bible says; flee from sin...never believe you can handle...God was clear enough; Flee...please carry you nonsense away. I advice you not to go acting like a Saint and confess o...That's bullshit. You'll love her... It's that simple. The good thing is you're sober and confess to your God. Shikena!!!

I am not a journalist but I have chosen to write this little article to expose my understanding of the brutal and cowardly border closer that the government has embarked upon.

As a farm owner and someone who deals major on local contents, many do not seem to understand my position to this and I hope the wider view that nairaland provides would help get people of thoughts reason along.

For now, the government of Nigeria seems to believe its own lies and illusion that closure of borders are the best way to driving local contents, a big FAT lie.

We hear talks of patriotism but what is patriotic in leaders who feed free on public purse and move around free at the expense of hardworking citizens? How would they understand that their so called move has even led to almost 100% increase in the cost of local produce they claim to promote? How do you plan to promote a product only for price to double?. The simple fact here is those is power are clueless and instead of admitting, as usual they play the blame cards.

As a rice farmer, we pay for labour all through the process, the only government intervention comes in seeds and lands for farming, these components amount for less than 5% of farming itself, planting, weeding, fertilizer and harvesting are the real deal. Government refused to invest in small scale technology and machinery to help these farmers. There is no magic that the smallest rice transplanter would do in one hour what a man would do in 10 hours and you would pay less for the transplanter.

Nigerians should understand there is no patriotism here, it is simply government trying to return favour to billionaires who funded the campaigns and are owners of rice mills. The real problem is production cost, if we can only tackle that, local rice would be so cheap that foreign rice will loose value. We all saw how Bigi has forced Coca Cola to revert the price of 60cl coke back to N100. That's simple economics no grammar.

I appeal to all Nigerians to reject this scam from the government and lies and demand better value. If we refuse to believe their lies, they would be forced to act right or leave the stage for people with plans.

The dangers now is if those countries should retaliate we would be worse off for the carelessness of a few in power. Vietnam buys more cashew from us than the rice we buy from them, same with many other countries. If only we support farmers and we totally bring down production cost, we would produce more and cheaper than imported without having to engage in trade wars with anyone. That was all Globacom did and they forced MTN to bring down their crazy costs and billing rates.

God bless Nigeria.

This is the greatest Nigerian ever no doubt. We will never fully understand the risk she took for this country. She is the real MVP and heroine of the nation not these selfish bastards who are always chasing power.

I can bet my life you saw all the signs but still went ahead to marry her. Love is never for marriage but maturity and ability to use the head. Love comes last when you need a life partner and character comes first. If you believe in prayers I'll suggest you pray for her otherwise, you're a man and you need to stand your ground before it becomes too late.

GreenArrow1:
Good.
Now, the prayer is, may anyone who isn't happy with this news not live to see the commencement of the project. Can we hear a loud Amen?

Your comment shows your little your brain functions. We all know starting a project is very easy. Completion is key.

I think your prayer ought to be may you not be alive if this government doesn't complete the project before leaving office.

Lagos-Ibadan has been ongoing for half a decade now yet work never reach 50%. It's not always about corruption but paucity of funds. Buhari is terrible at wealth creation but so good and getting loans.

emror4u:
FG to do this... FG to do that

Stop feeding us rubbish... Come back and tell us when it's been completed.

May you live long for this post. You're blessed.

AsomughaChuks02:
Any former governor who stole monies that would have been used to purchase fire fighting trucks has the blood of this innocent woman in his hands.

Guy you nor get shame o. Obi left years back, Obiano and Buhari should take blame for this.

abescom:
Maybe because most Nigerians are sensible and know that the damage the past administrations caused us will take a while to repair.

Typical idiot. Attack the message not the messenger. Clowns like you are the reason this government and those before it takes the whole nation for granted.

abescom:
Maybe because most Nigerians are sensible and know that the damage the past administrations caused us will take a while to repair.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the previous administration. You need to be honest and sincere that this government has no plan. These politicians just wanted power to enrich themselves further, Buhari included. After being in power for 4 years we still have to blame the previous government for a direct policy of the current government? You're terrible.

namiji2598:
this world has really got me pissed up
am tired of this life brothers
all am asking from nairalanders is their prayers after tonight,
the doors of heaven are open for me already,
I dnt really like committing suicide, but I think thats the only way out,
am gonna miss u all brotherz
ohhh lord forgive me

Clap for yourself there...I wouldn't ask you not to stop this suicide idea because I've been there too but trust me, the people you will hurt the most are your family and friends who will be tagged family of suicide people especially the women. They will live with this tag all their lives, suitable suitors will run away saying suicide runs in the family. You are just selfish and self centered. No matter what, I repeat no matter what suicide is never the way out. Stop thinking the world is against you...after the rain comes the shine... Just think about those you will live behind in pains after your selfish act.

Her lawyer must be crazy for describing this as a penis wound. That penis is already resting in peace. Gone too soon Mr Musician.

I am currently about to cultivate 100 acre of bush beans in Kaduna state. Unfortunately the opportunity for the land came in late as I had lost hopes and already invested my planned funds on another project (tomatoes).

Just this week I got the purchase sealed on this new opportunity and I need to find willing partners. Due to the fact that rains are already ceasing, we will have to act fast and procure some machinery (hand tractors, planters, plough, water pump, if you have some these equipments and can make them available would be more fantastic) for us to ensure a smooth operation. The total budget is around #3,000,000 including seeds cost and I'm looking for 2 investors with #1,000,000 each and we can have an understanding.

Please note that I am not desperate and if I can't cultivate this year I can always wait till next year. I seek only capable individuals as the window for rains closes by mid October hence we need to start right away as we must plough and plant and seeds needs at least 2 rainfalls to germinate. The period for planting beans closes in a few weeks.
