Save the dollar flight through local refineries.

Imagine, some criminals now steal onions for survival.

InansBobo:
They all pay monthly. I guess in the N-Agro, the participants are taken to some farms at times and shown things.. Basically, it'll be them being taught on the Agro ways

NaijirianKing:
They were merely herding cattle, until some governors out of spite, banned herding in the south. With their livelihoods destroyed, unfortunately some turned to crime, not many, but enough. Similar to when okada is banned arbitrarily without finding work for those whose livelihoods have been destroyed.

The Fulani have been chased out of their bushes, their cattle stolen, and then they were officially banned from conducting their business. What else is left for them?

This is true marginalization that some in the south claim they are facing. And yet you are quiet. Some even rejoiced at the promulgation of the ban, imagine. They should not be surprised by what happened next.

InansBobo:
I was, for N-Agro

Some nights I wake up with panic attacks and every morning I feel happy for sleeping and waking up successfully. I hate how flawed the human design is. Sometimes I get distracted but as soon as I feel any slight discomfort in my chest, I check my heartbeat and it feels irregular. There’s occasional sharp pains in my head that goes almost immediately and sometimes I feel blood throbbing through my veins in different parts of my body. Tomorrow I’ll be going out to get an apple series 6 watch so I can monitor my vitals better.

Sorry for the long read, I just had to let all of this out.

@ the bolded. Exactly. So what's your point ?

Lucifer and Satan are not the same thing by the way.

Coldshisha:
The problem isn't with SouthEast Biafra, even Nnamdi Kanu said FG approached him on that..

The problem is that Nnamdi Kanu wants SouthEast and SouthSouth with some North Central States in his Biafra map

This had always been the issue since the 1960s even after aburi accord

NaijirianKing:
These Fulani are peacefully going about their business, stop trying to stoke ethnic sentiments. This type of report is what we don't need as it causes more harm than good.

Japsylee:
Lets appreciate the troops when they do well . It's all in our best interest for Nigeria to survive and not be destroyed.

Golan007:
The ones they stole the other day should sustain them for a while.

Why do they even need onions?

A former United States Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell (L), and a former Director with Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, Prof. Robert Rotberg (R), have said it is time for the United States to acknowledge that Nigeria is a failed state.



Campbell and Rotberg said this is in light of the many security threats plaguing the country.



This was made known in an article titled, "The Giant of Africa is Failing" which was published in the May/June edition of Foreign Affairs magazine.



Both men stated that every part of Nigeria now faces insecurity which threatens the nation’s corporate existence.



The article read in part, "Nigeria’s worldwide companions, particularly the USA, should acknowledge that Nigeria is now a failed state. In recognition of that truth, they need to deepen their engagement with the nation and search to carry the present administration accountable for its failures, while additionally working with it to supply safety and proper financial system."



Campbell and Rotberg noted that the security agents have been unable to curb crime due to the sophisticated weapons that the criminals in the country have known their possession.



They also spoke about the Buhari Administration, stating that the country had moved from being a weak one to a failed one.



"Underneath the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, a number of overlapping safety crises has remodelled Nigeria from a weak state right into a failed one. Buhari’s authorities has struggled to quell numerous Jihadi insurgencies, together with the one waged by the militant group Boko Haram," the article read.



The duo alleged the Federal Government seemed to have given up in some areas and non-state actors had taken over while quasi-police organisations and militias controlled by state governments have become more common.



The authors stated that due to kidnappings and other crimes, several schools had been forced to shut down.



The article reads: "Regional quasi-police forces and militias—generally related to state governments however not often formally sanctioned—train de facto authority in some areas. However in lots of others, the federal authorities have successfully ceded management to militants and criminals."



Campbell and Rotberg said that most failed states in Africa such as the Central African Republic, Somalia, and South Sudan are small or marginal but Nigeria, in contrast, boasts rising inhabitants of over 200 million people and could be the third-largest country on earth by 2050.



Campbell and Rotberg said happenings in Nigeria also affect other areas of Africa.



The article adds that Nigeria depends too much on oil and is regularly faced with economic disasters.



The authors wrote: "However the Nigerian state has long failed to supply its residents with social companies and Nigerian politics is basically an elite sport disassociated from governance.



"The Federal Government doesn’t or cannot tax the true wealth of the nation, stays too depending on income from oil and gasoline, and lurches from one fiscal disaster to a different. Corruption is structural, too, casting almost everybody as each perpetrator and sufferer."



The authors recommended that through conferences, technical recommendations, and different instruments of "comfortable diplomacy," the US ought to help civil society and Nigerian non-governmental organisations in their efforts to strengthen the nation’s democracy.

Tetehjewels:
You are clearly not well. I suppose you were there to count the 50 gun trucks plus in your foolishness you saw where it was reported that they came to attack Damboa in those 50 gun trucks abi?

Tetehjewels:
Are you sure you are mentally sound enough to type? What in the name of confused comment is this?
What has 50 gun trucks got to do with damboa and today's victory by the NA?

Biodun556:
I remembered most federal roads had tollgate, it was Obasanjo who scrapped the toll gate as part of the measures of cushioning the effects of fuel price. Ever since, the high ways have witness high level of criminal activities like robbery and kidnapping.

Returning the toll gate will improve security and maintenance of the high ways.

Jashub:
I find this hard to believe. How do they know it's herdsmen? Didn't the Southern governors ban open grazing in the Southern part of Nigeria?

AntiBMC:
Things will keep getting worse nd worse as long as these fulani pple are calling the shots in the govt.

There will never be any improvement. We won't b surprised if by 2023, a dollar will be going for 1000 naira. Always expect the worst with this govt, and I'm not even joking.
