ICPC and EFCC are just deceiving themselves.

kerzhim:
This man and his purported stories of him escaping death, and in the end there will be no video or picture evidence to back it up. Nawa o!

I guess you will also be doubting that Benue State was ever attacked by Fulani militants.

This is exactly why the Fulani are against Amotekun and other security outfits like it. They want to be the only ones with the guns so that they can dominate everywhere.
If the Fulani herdsmen are not disarmed, then the various security outfits should arm themselves.

Josh44s:
Well make e nor backfire against us later coz e go bad gan!

It will not backfire if well managed by the States. To allay the fears of some people that this might be a preparation for secession, the recruitment into the various security outfits should not be restricted to one ethnic group. It should be all inclusive of the residents of that State. The Boards should also include various ethnic groups resident in that State.
The tribalist Buhari should also do same for the Federal security outfits. He should ensure that the security outfits are not dominated by his Fulani ethnic group (if he has no ulterior motives). Right now, it's all Fulani because of his fulanization agenda.

ABINTUK:
Niger Delta Force in the making, to secure the six Niger Delta States of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Rivers and.....

You only listed five States.

EMEKUSBOY9:
Am so ashamed of u people... the tribe of a president does not really matters, what matters is what he has upstairs as a president. and am sorry to say this, have not seen any tribe in Nigeria that has that leadership qualities to any worst america president.... What a shame !

The tribe of a President does not really matter?, in Nigeria? You are probably naive to think that.
The average Nigerian is a tribalist, including those that become President. Look at your President (not mine) Buhari's appointments and then tell me again that the tribe of a President does not really matter. So why do you think that the different ethnic groups want to produce the President?

seunmsg:
The south east is in no position to decide for the south and the rest of Nigeria.

Of course you are right. And the South West is also in no position to decide for the South and the rest of Nigeria. The disunity among Southerners is what will ensure that the Presidency stays in the North in 2023. I will be very surprised (pleasantly too) if the Presidency comes to the South. In the end, the Presidency will be decided by the votes of Nigerians.

CSTR2:
It still bores down to a failure of a central government.

Buhari is supposed to be driving this so as to protect the Nigerian future.
Because right now everybody is about their ethnic group.

And yet buhari is there collecting billions in salaries and travel allowances for doing absolutely nothing.

Buhari is actually the one driving the insecurity by importing Fulani militants from neighboring countries, arming them and unleashing them on Nigerian communities in furtherance of his Fulanization agenda.

Josh44s:
Nobody is thinking about the disadvantages of all this. What we need is State police, fully kitted and armed with the best police kits, Must be HND or BSc holder, well psychologically trained to respect citizens and avoid bribery and corrupt practices with good salary. Not all these Hisbal and Amorten gibberish. Nigeria is heading for anarchy.

Yep, we have to have State (and Local Government) Police. But it cannot happen overnight. The Constitution has to be changed first. And the FG is still opposed to the idea. In the meantime, people have to protect themselves by immediately setting up local security outfits like the Amotekun and other vigilantes.

NaijadrivaCars:
Are the north the problem

Of course.

adecz:
Can unarmed security setups
like Amotekun & others confront
the highly armed criminals operating
in the country today?

Before we know it, Amotekun might
start sourcing for money to ransom
their members from herdsmen.

Even policemen are being kidnapped
for ransom.

So you believe that Amotekun will not be armed??

infini771:
It is either Nigeria is restructured or it will be looted into extinction. Restructuring is the only antidote to corruption. Switzerland is not this corrupt

You got it.

Realist5:
The former Governor sounds to be Tambuwal.

Meanwhile, as we are reading these atrocities committed in years back, I believe we will also be reading some related stories about this administration in some years to come.

This is Nigeria, a country where we have recycled thieves as leaders.

And he wants to be President?

There is hardly a rich Nigerian that made his or her money legitimately, without stealing (from Government) or other crimes.

So the so called serving Governor has immunity from his name being mentioned? Nonsense.

GOFRONT:
Chaiii.....Na waoo..

AVM is also corrupt......A military man fa.

No wonder he was the only Governorship aspirant that used Helicopter for his campaign.

Oma307, Comman hear wetin dey sup for ya state...

So you have been thinking that military men are not corrupt Wow! Have you ever heard of Abacha, Babangida, Dasuki, etc?

Seetto:
These are bandits rustling Fulani cows and killing them, should we blame Fulani herdsmen for this, is it the good ones or the bad ones?.

We cannot generalized that all are Fulanis are bad, there are still many good and innocent ones among them, the same with other tribes..

For your information, the cattle rustlers/bandits are also Fulani. I heard they are mostly foreign Fulanis while the victims are Nigerian Fulanis.

This is why every community should form their own Amotekun; and why no sane Nigerian should still be supporting the bigot Buhari.

Malami, the quota system AGF again. It's a shame that such a dumb lawyer is made AGF.

wwwkaycom:
I gave my house documents to my cousin to take a bank loan of 3 million naira but I like to retrieve my documents back because of the way he and his wife have been doing things since October, 2019.

He is involved in sales of agrochemicals. He discussed with me on how profitable the business is but that he didn't really have money to put into it.

The wife lost her job in the bank and had to join him in the business. Being a close cousin and friend of mine, I gave out my house documents to him as collateral and the bank actually came to do some inspection in my house and I signed some documents.

The big issue now is that my cousin have not paid a dime back since August last year when he got the loan and between then and now he has done 3 parties that I'm sure gulped lots of money. The wedding of his younger sister in October, wedding of his brother in law in December and 40th birthday of his wife in January. These were serious lavish parties which I think could be done modestly.

I asked him on Monday about the loan and he said his moratorium will expire in February and there's no cause for alarm. This is different from what he told me before I released my documents, he said he will have gone far in repayment even before the expiration of moratorium. I reminded him about this but he said there is no problem about his ability to pay back since the business is lucrative.

I also discovered that one of our uncles actually borrowed him 2 million naira in 2017 which he hasn't paid back till now, he hasn't paid a dime back, I didn't do due diligence before releasing my documents to him.

Uncle told me yesterday that he would have discouraged me from giving out my documents if I had informed him before the loan was granted. Uncle also told me that he disagreed with him about his clubbing and partying lifestyles as a struggling businessman but that instead of appreciating his concern, he and his wife fought him and boasted his 2 million naira will be paid back before mid 2018 but till today he hasn't paid a dime. Hope I haven't shot myself in the leg with this help which I think I rendered to a friend and family?

The worst part of it is that my wife was not fully in support of my intention to help him then.

Where do I start from good people?

He promised to start paying by January ending, if he fail to do this, is it possible to break that bond and retrieve my documents from the bank? Can I tell him and the bank that I'm no longer interested in guaranteeing the loan? I'm afraid, kindly help.

I feel for you. I hope your cousin fulfills his financial obligation to the bank so that you don't lose your house.
By signing as a guarantor, you are telling the bank that if your cousin does not pay, you will either pay or forfeit your house.
I am not a lawyer, but common sense tells me that you cannot "break the bond" to retrieve your documents from the bank without paying back the loan.
If he doesn't pay, if he has enough products in the warehouse, you should sell them to recover some money to pay the bank.

FrLukas:
Fourth most corrupt?

Must be a mistake somewhere.

No country more corrupt than Nigeria on the Continent

Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea are actually more corrupt.

slimfit1:
Lack of communication again between police and army. this is what happens when you let people who don't have the right training rule over you. There should be communication in all angles before making any trip like this. It is done everywhere apart from Nigeria.

It may not be lack of communication. It looks more like sabotage by the Soldiers. They did not challenge the Boko Haram guys. They just took cover. But decided to attack the Police that repelled the Boko guys.

That's a powerful one. This is the time for us to start the process of restructuring Nigeria in order to save it. Otherwise, I believe Nigeria will disintegrate. I just hope that the separation will be peaceful.

MayorofLagos:
Wallahi!

Na audio threat. How many pastors have been killed and why this Buhari never even said anything. Now that foreign powers are planning to sanction him over ethnic cleansing he starts to issue empty threats for eye service.

Exactly. He is saying this to fool the international community.

tayebest:
I have my reservation for this forex trading, sincerely. It's the shortest way to end in kirikiri and the fastest way to become a millionaire.

Fastest way to become a millionaire Do you know of any Nigerian who became a millionaire through forex trading? Don't take such unreasonable risk.

This seems to be a good time for the Southern legislators to introduce a bill to restructure Nigeria. Such bill should make provision for Regional, State and Local Government Police in addition to granting States the right to control their resources. I expect the North Central to support such bill. It seems that even the North West and North might support it too in order to avoid other regions setting up their own Amotekun.

Dpharisee:
Taah! Please don't involve Igbos in your master-slave issue. We just dey our own dey observe. In 2015 the two of you called us names, 5%, 97% and cheered our soldiers who massacred unarmed protesters and labelled them terrorists.

While we support Amotekun as it seeks to protect lives and properties of people in the SW, we don't want you to mention us in your discussions, we have suffered enough in your both hands.
Today we are remembering the massacre of our people in Asaba by Fulani Lt Col Murtala Mohammed and his Yoruba accomplice Capt Ibrahim 'garagara' Taiwo.
Allow us to reflect in peace.



The same Fulanis who celebrated the Oba who threatened us with drowning in the Lagoon and cheered Yoruba thugs in some parts of Lagos for preventing Igbos from voting in 2019 elections now wants to hoodwink us into seeing Yorubas in bad light, it won't work, we decide for ourselves how we want to view anyone

Well said.

Marvieduke:
All I pray for is peace.

Nigerians should be praying for justice and equity, not for peace. With justice and equity, peace follows naturally.
If we keep being insincere, and keep supporting injustice, God will never answer our prayers for peace.

Witchersunited:
Maybe it's me or somtin

Do people bother to check things

The crisis affects the north more, they kill their own people more than Christians


I'm not a Muslim but Christians over do things


False alarm and panic everywhere, see south west that nothing happens to talking about regional Police, how many people died in South West? Look at the case well and u will see that the vigilante group is a tribal affair, benue that has suffered alot aren't even talking about policing, it's Lagos with only 5 deaths

So the SW should wait until there is mass killings before they do something to protect themselves? So you think it's ok that Benue did nothing to protect themselves? I suspect you don't live in an area that is witnessing increased insecurity.

fabienjoe:
But the South West may eventually back down with the sustained pressure and blackmail from the North. Tinubu still has a firm grip on them and I'm sure he's not enjoying this drama. The truth is that no one can actually work with the North to achieve any meaningful development. It involves so many compromises that the only thing you are guaranteed working with the North is a chance to loot. Every progressive move is viewed with suspicion. I've said it before but I wish to stress again...Nigeria is doomed as it is. It is shackled by the North. It won't develop, no matter who the president is. The South West may yet get the presidency but it would fully be at North's terms. What would dictate those terms is their paranoia. The North is only interested in Power, not development.

You are right. But if a President that sincerely believes in restructuring emerges, progress will start. Otherwise, it's a matter of time before Nigeria disintegrates.

Lovelyn451:
See their left and right bent caps...fraudsters

Igbo's chooking mouth in everything since they were ruled out of govt. always available to be used and dumped ...mtchew

Too many fools and keyboard warriors on Nairaland.

Chochovini:
My question is WHY is the FGN and the Northerners are shivering with great fear over this Amotekun thing? I will highly appreciate frank answer to this question from anyone here reading this. Thank you.

You should know. It would impede Buhari's Fulanization agenda.
