What the hell is wrong with this dude? I knew his relationship with Trump wouldn't last.
My take....let them fight.

The BUA dude is like ...hmmm wait till I build my own.

Trump would create a problem where there was none and then pretend to solve it.
And his gullible followers will cheer.

Elon Musk is a clown.

Eko o ni baje, o baje ti.

Hush puppinette.

Konquest:
I've been stating this same thing for years now because in reality, Nigeria has NEVER had standard borders with those 4 countries. Even the British Colonialists never thought of building border walls or fences. Folks just simply walk right into another environment from the Nigerian side and find themselves in another country without any checks and this has been fueling the illegal inflows of foreign Fulani herdsmen and bandits into Nigeria since the early 2000s and the Jihadist invaders from the West African Sahelian countries of Mali, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso, Northern Cameroon, etc.

First off, the use of stabilized laterite bricks OR adobe bricks for the construction of the border walls will be cheaper since laterite is readily available BUT this time, it will be stabilized with cement.

Second, prisoners from Nigerian correctional centers closer to the border areas can be deployed to those locations to build the border walls and save costs of labor.

Third, the U.S. border walls along the Mexican/U.S. border areas can ALSO be used as a model to measure total costs.

In any event, it's the use of modern satellite tracking systems and advanced attack and surveillance drones that would further complement these proposed border walls which I'm in support of and to hell with the ECOWAS protocol on free movement that allows foreign Fulani herdsmen to just walk right into Nigeria and displace indigenous Nigerian ethnic groups from their lands for final occupation using violence. It's totally unacceptable as the Fulanis in the whole of West African countries are just a minority ethnic group of NOT more than 24 million people (unlike the over 80 million each of both Hausas and Yorubas, then the Kanuris, and other indigenous Nigerians combined), so they should NOT be placed on a pedestal by ANYBODY from Nigeria again. The Fula paternal ancestry is even from the Berbers of Morocco in North Africa based off of advanced DNA test results we have today. All Fulanis have Umayyad Berber ancestry and NOT indigenous to Nigeria. Period.

The ECOWAS protocol is about legal border crossing not those crossing through the bush or swimming across. I think the government should give this proposal a serious thought.

grandstar:
A fence would cost about $2-3bn

Possibly.

Didi2d:
Funny how lots of people here are celebrating the fencing idea, yes it's good, but it won't stop insecurity and terrorism.

If you fence the borders, do you also intend fencing the whole country?

If your fence stops in the forest, this criminals will come in where your fence stops, if your fence stops by the river, this criminals can find a way to cross

Technology will solve the problem, track this guys with satellite and drone then blow them off. Not forgetting political will to fight insurgency

If you know the geography of Nigeria you will know there are some places that are natural barriers. Only a slowpoke will try to invade through those areas.

Originalsly:
Do you really believe a fence will prevent people from coming in? I can't believe we can be this simple minded. What kind of fence do you think this should be? ... a chain link fence? ... wood fence? ...forget cost ... and how high should this fence be? Some people just need to be stoned.

Simple in what sense? Why are fences built in the first place?
Are chain link and wood fences the most effective type of fences?
This is not a novel idea, there are many countries like the US and some countries in Europe with border fences.

If it solves the problem and Nigeria can afford it why not?
It may very well be our best option. We need peace.

Weed......Alaafin of Iwo?

Baba keeps working and the opposition keeps looking for another lie to tell.

State caption ko, state billboard ni.

Coming from someone whose only experience is saharareporters.

LWKMD. If you lie once aren't you very likely to lie again?
I pity the people who believed you the first time.

EyeCumInPeace:
The rate at which prices of goods and services skyrocketed these past 2years of Tinubu's administration is simply crazy.

Tinubu is wickedly impoverishing and strangulating Nigerians.
That should not be considered as Reforms.

What you really don't understand is that Nigeria was living on borrowed money. Our oil already sold in advance and lenders were no longer willing to give us more loans.
Nigeria was basically bankrupt, the subsidy could no longer be sustained even if the government wanted to.
What would you do as the president?
Let the country go bankrupt and go the way of Zimbabwe, Greece or Venezuela?
Things could have been worse, is total bankruptcy better than the gradual recovery the economy is witnessing?

Jakpon:
The ironic thing is that an south east senator is the one proppsing rhe removal of the Indigene/non-indegene dichotomy from the constitution. Meaning that someone from Anambra state can lay ownership to Lagos.

The policy will backfire and burn the South so badly. What Fulani Bandits wants to achieved by violence, and ibo senator wants to help them achieve it through back hand

LWKMD, these Fulanis can then legally claim to be indigenes of Enugu and Anambra.
What ojukokoro can do is terrible.
It wouldn't be a terrible idea if the intention is not to displace the original natives on the land.
When I say there's a lot of similarities between the Fulani and Ibos some think it's just a joke.

Hungry bloggers.

ariesbull:
Even Owerri , Ụyo, PH, Calabar , Enugu, Abuja , Some parts of Lagos are far better than this

India is kind of similar to Nigeria. There are really posh areas and there are poor areas. I guess most countries are like that to some degree.

Quelme:
False. It was repelled....

How come the bridge is still standing?

Standing does'nt mean the structural integrity has not been breached. The undersea foundation was attacked.

They will be the same people to come online and tell us how the government is not taming violence.

Jashub:
...so Ukrainian forces should hide behind their own civilians abi? Please what exactly are you smoking...

Smoking same thing as your old man.

Jashub:
I expect Russia to respond with 2x very soon

By targeting civilians?

Long overdue.

PDPdestroyer:
Tinubu better be a life president, I don’t know of a better alternative right now. I fear for what becomes of Nigeria after he leaves office, I hope his successor maintains most of his policies

Our foreign exchange system was completely rigged against ordinary Nigerians. A few powerful people and the banks were the only people benefiting from it.
That also is gone.
Nigerians should not be deceived into voting against Tinubu. A mad person is described as one who is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.
Tinubu is bold and he is laying a solid foundation for the future.

Arostar2023:
You are speaking from both sides of the mouth. All these fuss is because of Davido claiming to have Igbo blood. That's exactly what triggered all these nonsense. Ask the woman why Davido's ancestry and marriage should bother her and the so called whatever group?

Did she mention Davido? If she didn't why are you all attacking her? Isn't it hypocritical when Anambra parents wouldn't let their children marry from Ebonyi?

Desperados.

God bless Reno, the so called opposition know this very well but they will rather rile up their gullible supporters with silly exaggerations in order to tarnish the government.
Imagine Amaechi having the guts to tell Nigerians he was hungry!

DarkJeddi:
Did anyone make a fuss about Davidi claiming to have Igbo blood?
Lol, I bet you don't see the irony in that?
This very thread is, because some big..oted Yoruba woman had a problem with it.

You have a problem with a Yoruba woman who didn't even mention Ibo in her post. But I bet you suddenly lose your voice whenever an Anambra man refuses to marry someone because she's from Ebonyi. Isn't that hypocrisy.
It is like leaving the log in your own eyes to talk about the speck is someone else's eyes.

SmartPolician:
You are a nobody, so nobody actually cares what a nobody thinks. But when a public figure who works for a Nigerian institution comes public to display such ethnic biases, everyone should be worried.

BTW, Igbos and Yorubas should stop disturbing this country. Nigeria has other 360 tribes in it that nobody rarely hears their voices.

I feel your pain.

Dancing to Davido butt naked at 30000 feet! What is the world turning to?
