Clown* Because you can't be president... How can you introduce Sharia in a country of 30% Christians and 70% Muslims. And why EFCC didn't Arrest this guy

Boko Haram members, if they truly repent and have zero intention of furthering their criminal profession can be encouraged by such Ministry, just as militants were rehabilitated. It worked for Niger Delta, so I see no reason it will not work for the weaponized-amaljiri North.

If Boko Haram can be defeated with Love since we can not defeat them in war, it is better. That way we dont keep getting defrauded by the Military Heads and their foreign arms-dealers counterparts who also supply arms to Boko Haram to create business opportunities.

Then let them dissolve the outfit....if they can't work under police.

This ban shd be reversed or else crime rate will drastically increase in Lagos

This is where some people miss the point & why I would, in my own opinion, regard BAT's comments on Amotekun as not good enough for such a prominent political figure from the SW as he failed to speak to the crux of the matter.

The opponents of the security outfit are not concerned with if Amotekun is a constitutional state backed or regional security outfit, they oppose any form of security outfit designed to protect the SW & this is what BAT should have spoken to or addressed.

The opponents of Amotekun do not care about the legality or otherwise of the structure of it, they are simply against any form of organised security network outside what the FG provides (which is firmly in the hands of a specific ethnic group) or what they themselves deem as necessary, ergo, Hisbah & CJTF.

It was ok for BAT to try to rise above ethno-political sentiments, but he should have addressed the issue of opposition of the security outfit squarely rather than dancing around constitutional legalities which is certainly not what the opponents of Amotekun actually mean.

That said, Amotekun should be open to all & a ratio should be allocated to non-yorubas of proven good standing who have resided in the area for at least 10 years & have been recognised as detrabilised to a large extent. Hopefully, this will make the outfit more inclusive & calm frayed nerves.

My two cents...

I asked this question because muric said there wer more Muslim in sw. Islamic affairs echoed it again

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

AmTruth:
I am interested in the state Governors make the security outfit be back by law if they have not done so.

Whether Malami Reverse or Forward I will think about it

Xandelle:
The moment the north succeeded in distracting the south west from making more progress in amotekun, through granting of endless interviews and keeping the west in heat, amotekun got sick.

The moment the north successfully painted amotekun with the colors of secession and bigotry, amitekun got worse.

The moment Tinubu dropped his pen after writing down his 'views' on amotekun issue, amotekun slipped into coma.

The moment gullible southwesterners who didn't even understand the write up took over with hailing and praising the jagaban over an opinion which they didn't even understand, amotekun died.

The moment southwestern governor's queued behind Tinubu's position, amotekun got cremated.

And when amotekun suddenly became a Yoruba Vs Igbo bickering and bantering and chest beating affair, amotekun's ashes were disposed. Carried by the wind far into the sea, as one of those small disturbances that happened during Buharis regime.


RIP Amotekun. Born 8th of January, 2020. Died 22nd January, 2020.

If juju is real as many Nigerians believe and coupled with the numerous diabolic people and their claims, why can't they use it to destroy Boko Haram once and for all?

Why can't all the juju men collaborate together and concoct a ballistic juju and fire Boko Haram wherever they are once and far all?

Till this is done let them all shove their claims and beliefs in their back pockets cos I ain't buying

RTSC:
Through junaid Muhammad has a point here.
We cannot rely on the South west.
They would betray us again.

yarimo:
This is the most credible election inec has conducted since 1960.

nonsobaba:
Buhari should take those demands and throw them in the trashcan. Buhari shouldn't make any kind of deal with Atiku, the PDP I know will later say Buhari made a deal with them because he was afraid he would lose in court. Buhari beat Atiku black and blue in the field, he will beat him in the courts too. The worst Atiku can do is to form a parallel government and he will tossed into the same cell with dasuki.
