BuhariAdvocate:
That's his opinion though. But when one igbo speak trust me he/she spoke what average igbo will speak.

clown

ohuatc:
How can such a security outfits be formed in the first place without seeking for Federal Government approval.

the federal government is aware according to what LegendHero made me to understand few days ago.

Also, the Northern Muslims are doing everything in their right to claim that Hisbah right to stand but Amotekun does not. They claim it is different.

alizma:
This is why I love Mbaka. He say it in a way that seems impossible to human but just wait and see it come to pass. Don't try Mbaka
Some people will say it is political calculation but look back and forward, no politician anywhere in the world that has ever been so sure of his pro judgement statement as father Mbaka. He speaks and reaffirm his statement. Unlike some people who's prophetic statements for e.g " if care is not taken, this or that will happen or I see a struggle between Mr A and B. And some will say I see a tick cloud etc

Says who? I can easily scam you and nothing will happen. Mbaka kor, Mbada ni.

Why don't you explain how 4th man in the last election is a winner? Please explain

AuthenticNG:
Mbaka is strong indeed

Strong for where. The man was the John the Baptist to use. He has been paid handsomely...

Una mumu for this country die.

olakintanj:
It seems FGN is happy over the insecurity and the killing in the country.

it seems so to only the people of South West... Una eyes Don dey open

LegendHero:
Yeah I got you. Let us see what will happen in the coming days ahead.

But I am sure they will hear a response!

sure...

They have sharia court, they have Hisbah but the south can't have similar outfit.

I don't blame them, I blame the disunity in the south and those who champion it.

PerfectlyPerfect:
I can't see any law backing Hisbah police too.

Has anyone noticed that, unlike previous months, the number of people opposing this government on threads on front page has increased.
I'm guessing they've reduced the salary of our Nairaland resident zombies

edit the emboldened . i think u meant reduced. yes, they have reduced because even NPower have sacked thousands of them.

LegendHero, have you seen this? NOW, Take a few minutes and ponder on who hates the progress of this country...

It is sad bro... I hope the South West RISE and fight for this to stand. You all can now see that Igbos are clearly not your enemy as you are made to believe...

LegendHero:
Nigeria matter don tire me finally. But I got your point.

bros, na so e b o.

murphyibiam15:
Shut up , south east started it and Yoruba people stole their ideas

mumu... this is what the elites want you fools to indulge in. This is what Igbo elites fool you with when they fail,playing emotional blackmail and casting blames. I will be the first to beat anyone of them the day it will happen.

StaffofOrayan:
I hope Yoruba's can see their enemies
They can't even hide it!

That is the point bro.

A former aide to President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday faulted last week’s launch of Amotekun, the regional security outfit floated by southwest state governments.

“The creation of Amotekun is an attempt to divide our security and I am calling on the Federal Government to disband the establishment,” warned Abdulrahman Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila, a former special assistant to Buhari on House of Representative’s affairs.

A three-term member of the House of Representatives (Sumaila Federal Constituency, Kano State), the ex-lawmaker disclosed at a press conference yesterday that the development could destabilise the region’s security architecture and compromise national stability.


“Such an outfit would only aggravate the situation at hand. It will enhance ethnicity and disunity among Nigerians. It will not add any value to the quest for addressing insecurity challenges. We all know the importance of traditional institutions and the role they have been playing in the area of security. Therefore, if the government can support these institutions, I have no doubt that things will change for better,” said Sumaila.

He said further: “Such security outfits could be used to harass people from other regions. There are many northerners conducting businesses in the southern part of the country. There are also southerners doing businesses in the north. There is every tendency that such outfits could be used to harass northerners residing in the south and vice versa. So, the formation of regional security outfits would rather divide Nigeria than unite us.”

The ex-lawmaker recalled past public complaints about the alleged excesses of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) and urged the governors to support conventional security organisations rather than set up new platforms.

But speaking in defence of the regional outfit, the Ekiti State chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) argued that the governors had merely exercised their power to protect life and property.

Quoting from the constitution, NBA Chairman Samuel Falade said: “Chapter 2, Section 14 (2b) gives mandate and rights to the president and governors to provide security across the country and in their respective states. Also, Section 20 of the Administration of Criminal Justice allows a private citizen to arrest any criminal and hand him over to the police for investigation and prosecution. Under this context, operatives of Operation Amotekun can arrest and hand people over to the police for proper action.”

Similarly, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) berated the Northern Youth Council of Nigeria for kicking against the outfit.

OYC National President Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro noted in a statement yesterday that only persons benefiting from insecurity in the southern part of the country would oppose the regional body. He went on to advocate the creation of a southeast equivalent of Amotekun, which he named Operation Ogbunigwe.


Besides, a former Oyo State Deputy Governor Chief Hazeem Gbolarumi told The Guardian in an interview: “It is totally wrong for anyone to give Amotekun any ethnic coloration or suggest that it may be targeted at any group of people. It is clearly a move to provide adequate security for the life and property of all Nigerians and foreigners resident within the southwest region.”

He added: “The people who are the workforce in Operation Amotekun are people who live among us. We know ourselves and understand the terrain within each community. So, their job is to complement the mainstream security outfits in Nigeria. The agitation Amotekun is generating is absolutely unwarranted, uncalled for, and unacceptable because we are all Nigerians and our brothers’ keepers, regardless of ethnicity or religion.”

Also, Alhaji Tajudeen Quadri, Lagos State Chairman, Community Development Advisory Council (CDAC), told the News Ag
ency of Nigeria (NAN) that the move is good for the region.

According to him, “The number of policemen now cannot cover the states and the various communities. The police cannot take care of crime nowadays. Therefore, for governors to come together to form the security outfit is a welcome development.”

Meanwhile, the Kano State government could soon explore community policing with a view to complementing the federal security architecture.

This was as the state executive council at the weekend approved a security summit aimed at ventilating ideas on the implementation of a new security network at the community level.

Briefing journalists, Commissioner for Information Muhammad Garba also said the state government recently procured high-tech security trackers worth N500 million installed at the police headquarters in Kano, to curb the activities of kidnappers, cattle rustlers and other criminals.

Simplyeo, Yarimo(I doubt this one is Yoruba cos I caught him one time supporting RUGA which is unexpected from a Southerner), LegendHero, YorubaVanguard, YorubaLegend, BuhariAdvocate and a host of others who think Igbos hate yoruba should come and read what those they claim love them has been spewing since the creation of Amotekun. It is on record now that various factions of the Northern rule have been kicking against this idea.

And on the other side, Igbos have applauded it, EVEN the IPOB you all hate so much came out verbally to applaud the move while blasting South East leaders.

So, who is hating who now? Someone who hate you will not support something that will protect your life, will he?

We may speak from the point of anger (so much we are calling children of hate) but we would not support anything that will hinder your progress. That is not hate!

Yet, the igbos are the enemy. I do hope that one day, you all in the South will understand igbos for whom they are. Have a blessed week.

ValCon888:
The only bills that are speedily passed are bills that shield them from corruption charges or bills that put the masses under more hardship.

What is now the essence of the N30,000 minimum wage? An insensitive government that gives with the right hand and takes with the left.

When people ask for increase in pay, they are calling for tax increment. Its the rule worldwide

Mikecold:
No beefing though, there is a reason i love adenuga, dangote, elumelu

Matured legit billionaires but hardly battle to convince people they are rich.

E-money is just in-mature showing off his bedroom to toilet, ayiri has stopped this childliness long ago, you dont see shina peller displaying his privacy (shina too is a young flexing "entertainer"

Having money and not loosing your sanity is the ultimate cos where your money stop people dey whey their own start there

Bros, you can't compare those to a set of people who came out from a severe and chronic lack and poverty.

People who display are still traumatized by their years of lack, in which you would see those once mocked by people.

Don't blame them. Those dark days have psychological effect that lingers so much.

Gina2019:
What is this one saying? Sex is the ultimate goal of a man in any relationship. And he believes if he gets it for free, he has conquered the lady. He can do anything he want like cheats, be abusive etc.

But if sex is not on a platter of gold, he won't misbehave. He will lay down his guard. He will respect his woman.

Hypocrite

GeniusWannabe:
Mehn! I just dey pity youths wey dey rush enter marriage these days.

Lyydia:
There's this guy that we have been dating for 6 months, we love each other very well and we plan on marrying each other.

Here is the deal, we plan on no sex before marriage due to personal reasons. I don't ask for money also, we do cuddle and kiss sometimes. But not sex!

Of recent, he has been acting strange and wants to go beyond our normal cuddle level. I cautioned him about this and he promised to change! But he still does this.

Yesterday it happened again as I got furious and asked him to leave.

Did I overreact? I called, he has not picked up since yesterday.

Only a fool will subscribe to this your rules. Dude just don't have the skill to push the right button, I guess. When another who knows the skill does, you will give it up... Without even thinking.

psalmsmiles:
circle of life. You`re at the top one minute and at the lowest the next. Who you help and the good you do while you`re on top has determines how long you last in the pit when you fall...

I can do what the man did without blinking. She thought it will be an easy handling when he found out because she is the "mother of his kids"

Its why I vowed that only character will determine you will still be under my roof.

LegendHero:
I think the North being so powerful is a myth. People are judging the North through the mirror of the military era and that is what is making people paranoid.

Also, the current political class of the South are not interested in restructuring and they are all hiding under the shield that the North is powerful and using that to justify the southern leaders incompetence.

Even the lanky Fulani herdsmen power is a myth coz of the southerners really want to deal with them, there is nothing they can do. Forget about the media rubbish, if the southerners stand in unison against any herdsmen killer, the Fulani herdsmen will blink first.

Do you think if each house of rep and senators of the South rise up in the floor of the house and senate to d restructuring of Nigeria with conviction and sincerity, do you think the North has the power to oppose?

If the governors and house of assemblies within each state of the south rise up with one voice for restructuring, do you think Buhari has the power to declare war on them with the Nigerian army? Hell no, the southerners political class themselves don’t want any restructuring.

True. A typical example of what you opined is what igbo leaders do. Because of the "marginalization" Mantra that is often weaved into igbo-centric politics, they use it as an excuse to relax without doing anything when the need arise.

A typical example is when the Lagos Ibadan Railway project was being discussed at the senate, apart from Abaribe, who often spoke in defense of the igbo region, the others didn't do anything.

I have been to almost all the train lines in Ogun axis for monitoring and I can say it is a massive project that will serve the region well. The second phase is to visit the Oyo axis.

But few days ago, we read they are now planning to building their own railway for the south east..., while this is commendable, there is no doubt that Eastern leaders often hide under the cloak of "marginalization" as a disguise for incompetence.

Simplyleo:
They way some parents pai their daughter for dating a yoruba Muslim

I do not even think it has anything to do with religion but the report in that 18 year olds case chose to sensationalize the event to garner traffic. It is a general knowledge that parents often do not like the idea of their daughter getting pregnant at an early age, they fail to come to terms with their failed parental responsibilities, which led the beating of the young girl.

itsme01:
why do you sound scared? Amotekun as all the aproval it needs, it isnt targeted at any tribe but criminals.. and stating the fact about slowly restructuring without a fight isnt dick measuring contest (although i am quite sure half my length and girth is enough to fill you up and give you mind blowing Orgasm)

Now lets get serious.. restructuring means devolution of powers, and SouthWest is trying to do just that, FG already transfered Federal asset like Oshodi - Airport, Sango Ota - Lagos road, Ondo -Ekiti road, Surulere stadium, Lagos Trade fair and many other strategic assets to SouthWestern Government, slowly we have our own Secuirity aparatus that are lisenced to bare arms so if you look at it holistically DAWN commision is sneakishly getting things restructured without noise while others look on


.

He is likely a Northerner... during the RUGA days, some of them who hitherto claimed to be from south west were exposed.

LegendHero:
If you read up a book or newspaper archives on each region from 1946 up to this period, you will see that the ideologies of each ethnic group hasn’t changed much.

But one thing changed, the innovative ability of the Yoruba politicians was lost after the death of Awolowo. The Western region used to be the pioneer of policies and other region most times follow the template of the SW ideas.

Now with this Amotekun, the SW governors are bringing back the innovative glory of the Yorubas and other regions are following that template which is a good thing for Nigeria as a whole.

There are still a lot of innovative but yet developmental projects the SW governors can collaborate on irrespective of party affiliation to put the region back in its spot as the pacesetter.

So what is stopping the restructuring?

Have you also noticed that these guys up North becomes powerless against any united voice? If it were just one state that carried out this plan among the South West states, you would have seen a different narrative but when it appear all states in the south west keyed into it, they know they can not do anything.

This same thing played out during the RUGA plan. Because the entire South and Middle belt spoke in one voice, they buried the plan and yet, some people feel the North is so power? I think only power against a divided section.

Make I laff Nigeria

OP, please I use baba olorun beg u, paragraph that write up... Haba.

The devil has sowed his seed and is still somewhere in the middle. My dear the moment we start demanding passwords from ourselves trust is gone. You're just trying to manage a sick situation. Give her time to go and explore. It's better she feels she's in charge of her life than feeling controlled. It's the way with women. They easily get mentally distracted. I advice you both deal with this before moving further or go your separate ways

BTW there are people who desire a wilderness process of good and bad and evil and ugly before they settle down. It's wired in psychologically and mentally. Some people want to get lost lose their way go through burns otherwise they'll feel unfulfilled and controlled. And as long as this itching is there you're in trouble. You can't mentally cage a person lest you breed a beast. Allow her roam. After she suffers some shark bites, she'll come back to you. With her heart mind and spirit in the right position. If you keep her forcefully. Sorry

One of my ex didn't take me serious until she had to go round, get forked badly and then tried to come back to me... Which was too late.

Its how they are programmed.

Geez, I am sorry to read this from you and how pathetic it sound.

I would say I am not what you think and I am not those guys begging for financial stuff.
L AA
I pm you because I thought I might need your help in solving a freelancing problem particularly with a kind of software that require vps and location change but it's kind of late now for the project.

okay bro...sorry about that. Yeah, I have some knowledge about freelancing.

There are too many freaks on nairaland and it's creepy.

The guy I talked about does this every time. He seems like grown up with phone and data.

One of his handle is NairalandSars and his email has that keyword too. Very unfortunate human being.

Anyway, if there are any other thing you would need, let me know. If I can't help, I should be able to point you in the right direction.

Oyerinde16:
Are you planning on exporting it...

yes but not done completely with my networks.

Since I am a lone star, I have to do lots of ground works.

May be I should start with local trade to get acquainted with rudimentary

Oyerinde16:
Yes, I just restarted it last year...

Cool. I dey eye that business but insecurity in the North no let me.

Plus our ports in Nigerian port is a mess

Oyerinde16:
Initially I moved it with luxurious bus, soon I found trailers going from Zaria to port Harcourt, so I put the grains on it, two to three days later I collect it in PH then sell, I did aggressive marketing in various markets in PH like mile 1, mile 2 mile 3 markets, slaughter market, fruit garden etc, I had about 12 people I was supplying.

Are you still into it?

Great. The white man's method of medicine comes with some side effect and I am a victim.
