At least we agree that the Northern border is also closed, that is the first step in the right direction.

What part of the northern border exactly is closed? Because those of us in the North can see that it's still busineses as usual. FG can play politics with anything but security, you can't hide those stats.

Maxymilliano:
Can the allegations be alluded to Jonathan's refusal to endorse gay rights ?

Seriously? There are a lot more serious reasons, with far reaching consequences, than sexual preferences of consenting adults please.

They were hacked mostly, this is the MO of herdsmen. Killing people who were just trying to survive in their own country, after a few weeks one retard will say "normalcy has been restored" and the victims will never get justice.

The South-West is a direct beneficiary of this administration because they occupy strategic positions while the North is left with nothing other than the Presidency.

This Shettima is what Hausa people refer to as "makaryacin banza", aka Worthless liar. APC will end before the 2023 elections, so they can field any clown they wish to.

NAN reports that Ahmed Zubairu, chairman of the goats distribution committee,

There are plenty dumb people in leadership in Nigeria, plenty!!

GamalNasser:
From the small footage of the fire fight I saw that unit in Damaturu knew what they were doing , the put up a solid firewall to halt the Boko Haram offensive and damn they had tracer rounds to light up the battle field ...Solid unit , I was impressed .

The video with the tracer rounds is NOT the firefight mind you. That video isn't even of the Nigerian army.

We don't care what he did or didn't do at this stage.

We have accepted unknown gunmen as a menace that cannot be handled by authorities now, and just pray that we won't fall victim. Sad state of affairs.

Imagine misappropriating funds meant for "Anti-Corruption Activity Coordination"!! Nobody, no country can troll us in Nigeria, it's just not possible

There's a way our business community reports news that is not altogether accurate. We condition ourselves to think we deserve to get business opportunities because we are Nigeria or because we built the "Biggest" (Insert whatever), not minding the ease of doing business. If Benin Rep is getting XYZ number of cargo, it doesn't translate to we are losing business, we never had it in the first place! It's not a zero sum game either, they have a share, we must fight for a share too. You build a dry inland port, then stupidly close the border (just one of the random things..) and expect them to choose patriotism over profits? That sort of dumb argument flies in Nigeria, not in the real world.

FarahAideed:
He should secure it with what? Does he have a single policeman under his control? Give him state police and see if he doesn't

Lol, before that time, everyone in Taraba should be murdered or kidnapped abi? You have state resources, your state looks like S**t. Giving him state police will yield nothing different, in my opinion. The man is hardly ever in Taraba in the first instance. Real clown of a governor.

executive12:
Don't mind him. And he probably opposes restructuring and State and regional Police.

You soliloquizing on whether I support or oppose restructuring is your problem bro. Our governors designate themselves as Chief security officers and receive a security vote to boot. If he cannot use the resources at his disposal to protect the people that voted him and you're waiting for him to build state police before he can, then your issues are clearly different from mine. "He doesn't control police", this assertion has emboldened our governors to just become stupid figureheads while we provide that alibi.

Bluezy13:
Pocket your ignorance.

Taraba is the second largest in landmark after Niger state.

We used to travel for about 2-3 hours on bike inside one local government for our clearance when I was serving there.
Scarcely populated with mountains and forests.

This is how you read to respond instead of reading to UNDERSTAND. I said Jalingo, you're talking about Taraba State, are they same thing? I lived and worked in Jalingo and you want tell me about my surroundings? If you served in interior Taraba, good for you, but at least camp was in Jalingo. You can traverse the ENTIRE Jalingo, from the entrance at Roadblock to where Govt house is, in literally 15Mins, no traffic.

The entire Jalingo is as small as Ahmadu Bello way in Jos, and Darius cannot secure this small stretch of road of a state. Useless governors everywhere, north, south, APC and PDP.

Terrible hypocrites telling Nigerians to live within their means, then spending double their budgets on food and travels, And their dumb followers will keep marching to the Next Level soundtrack.

Happy Birthday Darqly. May you live in fulfillment.

Richdad

Thanks..

People are joking but the value of daily traffic commerce is in the billions currently. I posit that one day, you'll be able to withdraw cash whilst in traffic or do some other financial transactions, someone just needs to think this through.

Buckubuck:
How is the north being betrayed? They voted massively for buhari despite his forgettable first term. Abba kyari was there throughout the first term doing his thing. No northerner came out to complain against him. So where's the betrayal coming from?

You clearly don't understand what betrayal means then. If they voted for PMB, despite his OBVIOUS flaws, expecting him to somehow do better, and it gets worse instead, what is that termed? The entire country is experiencing insecurity but the worst hit regions are in the North, with daily killings and abductions, mostly going unreported, meanwhile the entire security hierarchy is Northern! Is this not betrayal? And the mistake people make is lumping muslim north with the rest of north and calling us North. Muslim northern voters are mostly swayed by religion, not so for the rest of us, so we didn't vote MASSIVELY for PMB either. We have a term in hausa "Cin Amana". If you claim you're from Northern Nigeria, you understand that term and what it means in this context.

Buckubuck:
I'm in northern Nigeria and I know what i'm saying. Those youths you say may be from southern Kd. Dat is naturally understandable. Besides that, educated and politically conscious northern youths esp muslims like El-Rufai as much as they detest Tinubu. I hope you're aware that presently in northern Nigeria, the narrative is that Tinubu is a thief and therefore not fit for the presidency. Most of them prefer an Osinbajo presidency to Tinubu.. Most of them see El-Rufai as Buhari's godson and a fearless defender of northern interest and hegemony. Osinbajo's problem is with the cabal though. He has offended them heavily and they intend to deal with him this second term as events in the past week has proved

Interesting take. The pulse in Northern Nigeria right now isn't anywhere near looking forward to a PMB successor, the North is being betrayed presently, and we're learning a brutal lesson. El Rufai is in a grey area, pseudo intellectual who wants to appeal to the northern mass by pandering to ethnic and religious division. I can't see the future, but Abba Kyari is the de-facto president of Nigeria, and he's not having any of this El Rufai repackaging, thankfully.

Buckubuck:
I'll have you know that most northern youths see El-Rufai as a presidential material, a natural successor to Buhari

You can't make this assertion without hard data bro. Are you in Northern Nigeria? What research did you carry out or how have you been able to make such a sweeping statement? I have a cluster of northern youth mainly from Kaduna who cannot stand Elrufai's guts but I can't use that as a premise to state that the north is anti-ElRufai. The only similarity between Rufai and PMB in my opinion, is their nepotism and religious bigotry, one only hides his own better than the other. Outside that, ElRufai is not as unintelligent as PMB but he's more dangerous and power will uncloak is megalomania.

How the mind of Nigerian politicians and their supporters work needs to be studied as a malady, and a cure proffered. This is just 2019, ElRufai has not done anything remotely remarkable for Kaduna, except stoke ethno-religious division and chase invisible bandits on Kad-Abj expressway when he's idle. People that moot him as presidential material really need to step back and assess their own life choices thus far. It's the sacred duty of every Nigerian citizen regardless of tribe, religion or sexual orientation to ensure ElRufai NEVER gets close to the presidency, well unless he's visiting the president. He's an awful, awful, awful hate-filled little man who has taught his children to also hate.

When you elect broke people into office, this is what you get. Buy your own cars before you enter office, instead of using our taxes to fund vehicles you could only ever dream of in the past. Common SUV is what they're moaning about??

Yahaya Bello is a tyrant. Kogites will rue the day he ever became governor.

Oche211:
Soldiers withdrew from the town and two days after Boko Haram struck.
This shows that these guys have a strong intelligence network.
I expect the DMI, NIA, DIA, DSS and other intelligence agency to break this BHT intelligence network.

Actually, it's the other way round. The soldiers withdrew BECAUSE an attack was imminent. Recall that insurgents had attacked Baga, Bama and Benesheik before Jakana. The FG can keep spewing half truths about the potency of BH/ISAWAP, one day, the military will have had enough!!

When your card is retained by another bank, you cannot be assured of the integrity of the card. This is because you don't know who has had access to the card details, PAN, Security and expiration date. I'm sure you know that is all that is needed for card-not-present transactions to be approved? Even your own bank will insist you indemnify them before they return your card back to you after it has been retained.

Please who can spot "Monday Chikwunka" amongst the suspects lined up in the photo? The Nigerian government is an enemy of the people and will play us against ourselves to achieve their agenda. How can a Monday lead bandits in Katsina, NW Nigeria? HOW? And how can anyone with even a partial brain believe this hogwash? How come non-northern Nigerians turn up in the North to lead kidnappers and cattle rustlers, but northerners cannot go to the south and lead criminal gangs successfully? Are we this stupid in this country?

Everything that other countries have done in the past successfully is what Nigeria struggles to do presently, isn't anyone in authority tired of this mediocrity that is prevalent? Haba!! Website, down. E-wallet, down.

Everybody carry your bowl like almajiri. I really detest this government, day by day it increases.

I'm convinced that the air around Lugard house is contaminated, and the thing has afflicted ALL of Bello's associates and advisers. Dumb begets dumb, so I'm not surprised.

The level of fraud in the National Action committee on AIDS, at state level especially, is enough for NGOS and foreign donors to withhold grants to Nigeria. The worst part is that they cannot even do the intervention WITHOUT the expertise of the donors, like they are not learning ANYTHING!!

Not Nigerians oh, Nigerians association of Hypocrites, Northern Nigeria branch, these are the ones complaining. Please.
Someone asked if Nicki will wear Hijabi before performing!! I can't deal with our fake morality and virtue signaling.
MURIC should send out a strongly worded email to MBS if they born him well too.

kingmekus:
Wait, people are surprised and disappointed Buhari reappointed Abba Kyari? ��� A whole Abba Kyari, the DG of the CABAL? ����

So if not Abba Kyari, who would he have appointed? You? �

When rumours surfaced of another Cabal trying to unseat Abba K, I just laughed!! The man is the president of Nigeria, ahead of Mamman Daura, both of them ahead of PMB the bag holder.
