While I agree with you that our leaders need to be tasked and held responsible for the challenges we are facing, because that was what they promised; but at the same time we need to fair and not malicious in our comments.

Some of the comments I have read here are pure evil, the crisis in Kaduna predates El rufai, and anyone who is sincere and honest will agree so. There is no one who can easily solve the Kaduna communal issues, because these things are deep rooted in decades of conflict and hatred. To make matters worse people peddle dastardly lies against each other, thereby deepening the hatred among both ethnic groups.

Kidnapping has been a problem in Kaduna for some time now, security agencies and the Governor should take responsibility. Why? Because it is their duty to protect life & Property, but this does not imply that they are complicit in the kidnapping. After the Kasuwa Magani crisis, the King of Adara was kidnapped and subsequently killed; this caused the Adara people to go on rampage and start killing Hausas; in Kaduna once such attacks start on one end then it spirals and reprisals start everywhere.

Because the people are filled with suspicion of one and other, the people suspected the Hausas kidnapped their king in reprisal for the Kasuwa Magani attacks. It is just a vicious cycle!. Below is an account of an witness of the event, we all should just preach peace and stop spreading hate. Neither the Adara nor the Hausas are free of blame.

THE LATEST KADUNA CRISIS : THE KILLING OF CHIEF ADARA , A KIDNAP GONE WRONG NOT ETHNIC/RELIGIOUS KILLING
With lives and properties at stake , and based on credible information at my disposal I find it necessary to explain the immediate cause of the new wave of violence that engulfed Kaduna today. Being Kaduna state , already some narratives are reporting the killing of the Adara Chief as a religious/ethnic conflict. It is not. The Chief died as a result of a kidnap (he was kidnapped along with 5 others) that went horribly wrong.
Without mentioning names, I had the unpleasant experience of being indirectly involved in the ransom negotiations for the release of the 2 of the kidnap victims (not on the side of the Chief) when a relative of some of the kidnap victims was contacted by the kidnappers and he in turn contacted me to compare notes.
The kidnap happened on Friday 19 October at around 4.46 pm along the single lane Kaduna -Kachia road. The kidnappers about 9 in number, first stopped a vehicle coming from Kachia going to Kaduna carrying a man , his wife and their driver all Muslims and this group was the group whose relative contacted me. They were first dispossessed of their belongings and the victims at that time thought this was a mere robbery. Then came the Chief of Adara’s jeep from the Kaduna direction which was equally stopped with his Orderly and local Dogari killed on the spot leaving the chief , his wife and driver . Another man from a different vehicle was also taken After dispossessing the kidnappers told the now 7 victims from the 3 vehicles (Chief + Wife + 2 aides, Man +Wife, and a lone Man) to follow them into the bush on foot . All the 7 victims were kept in one location.
On Saturday late night , probably due to the condition of the Chief’s wife, the kidnappers released her and allowed the driver of the other vehicle to lead her out of the bush and they reached civilization on Sunday morning. While in captivity, at a place not far from the town (according to one victim) , of the reaming 5 kidnap victims, the lone man kidnapped attempted an escape and had almost succeeded when the kidnappers captured and killed him. The kidnappers now had 4 victims remaining the Chief and his driver on one side, and the other man and his wife on the other. Eventually, the kidnappers made contact with the relative of the first group (not the Chief’s group) and demanded a ransom of N50 million for the release of the man and his wife. I would assume that similar or same demand was made to the Chief’s relatives but I am not privy to this. Negotiations were on back and forth for a reduction and according to the victim each time that a deal failed to be struck the kidnappers come back and beat them mercilessly. Finally the kidnappers agreed to accept N1.5 million for the release of the man and his wife. The relative who called me , was later called by the kidnappers at 12 00 on Thursday 25 October and instructed to come to Jere with the ransom. I advised him to demand speaking with his relative as Proof of Life as it would not make sense to pay ransom when the victim might have already been killed. The kidnappers obliged and allowed him to speak with his brother. Arriving Jere, he received another call telling him to move to Katari. At Katari, near a certain petrol station, off the road leading to Gurara dam , he took an unused road towards a certain rail/road junction. He was then instructed to leave his car and walk about 1-2 km with the money along a river bank as he passed some children playing. Just as he was wondering there was nobody to meet, 2 of the kidnappers in their 20s, with Fulani features appeared with AK-47s with their faces partially covered. They asked, in Hausa, if he had the money to which he responded in the affirmative and proceeded to bring out and show them the money from his bag. They then asked “Are you sure the money is complete?” and he answered that he believed so but cannot be certain as took the money straight from the bank. “Why don’t we count just to be sure” he offered, but they said NO……”If it is not complete you will hear from us they said menacingly. This intermediary , a security expert himself , had wisely carried an extra N20, 000 just in case the money from the bank was not complete as from experience any shortage from the stated amount could lead to the kidnap victim being killed or injured. Now as this intermediary was leaving the place he made the ransom payment, he saw a black Peugeot 307 with a well dressed man in Caftan heading towards the drop zone and he surmised that this neatly dressed man was also going to make payment. It turned out that the man was a senior aide of the Chief of Adara and he too was going to keep rendezvous with the kidnappers.
After collecting the money they told the intermediary to head to Diko junction near Abuja as according to them , the victims are kept and would be released from Minna. He arrived Diko around 4 pm and waited for the call till 1 am in the morning. As it turned out , sending him to Diko was a ruse as the 2 victims he was representing had already been released at around 7pm somewhere near Katari. Now as earlier stated all the 4 victims including the chief were kept in one location and according to the victim that was rescued to pass time, he and the Chief engaged in discussions with the Chief telling them to please visit his place when next they were passing by. Now according to the rescued victim, when the time for their release came, the kidnappers instructed that the man and his wife leave by one direction while the chief and his driver leaves by another direction. That, was the last he saw the chief and he was actually surprised to hear that the Chief’s body has been found.
The Chief of Adara is dead and it may not be important how or why he was killed . But I am relating story , just to disabuse the minds of those saying that the killing of Chief Adara has religious or ethnic undertones. Rather it was a kidnap that went wrong and we do not know what made the kidnappers to kill him after collecting ransom and ostensibly releasing him and the other captives. Just so that you know.

senatordave1:
I think el rufai is wrongfully criticized and villified.all killings in kaduna are wrongly linked to him while we refuse to do same to ortom.he may be tribalistic and ultra strict but thats it.hes among the best governors in nigeria and a model for leadership.i see him as a future president

Davidchibex:
I understand you are yet to get rid of your milky brain.
A collapsed nation have little or nothing to do with it's currency.Mr Right,so all this Killings,Looting and debts are not enough to collapse a nation to your understanding?
Can debts devalue the state of currency in a nation?
No way,and that's what Mr Obi means.If you trying to be smart,don't misquote any analyst after reading an article.
Let me still give you an insight,China as the most populous country in the world are presently facing corruption and it is rapidly affecting their nation.
There can never be a 24 hours without an unexpected running up and down in China.
One can easily say that China as a nation is collapsing but then,1000 Chinese Yuan is still equals to #52,278.11k.
Does that affect their currency in any way?
Just like Wisdom have nothing to do with age,Nation collapsing in regards to debts as Mr Obi said have nothing to do with collapsing or devalueing the state of currency.
Take it or get stock with your confusion.

curfew:
.. and the solution is to vote you in as VP.

Look Mr. Obi tuary, you are late. A ti ku.

Babacele:
Keyamo has fought more and stronger battles in his life and has won almost all. If he isn't good ,he couldn't have. Chima has said nothing but a poorly crafted package of lies which I'm sure a veteran like Festus would tear to pieces in law courts if he chooses to dignify his defamer with a response ,and he may subsequently consequently make Chima sorry for his poor hatchet job.

You want to take on Keyamo too? what is stopping you? Go ahead and get injured Jo.

lionness:
He who God has blessed or who God chose to elevate, no IPOB can curse or bring down. Even if Buhari presents Akara wrapper, he won't be another criminal overlord like Atiku who will end up allowing PDP to loot mindlessly like they've done for over a decade. No more PDP in Nigeria ever!!!

Praktikals:

Olohunjedalo:
Shut up
It was your hero that scraped the old design of the N100 notes that is very good and lasts long and then decided to produce substandard notes just because he wanted to remove the Arabic inscription.
Jonathan is the most useless president we ever had in Nigeria .
Even though 2014 was very visible on the notes you posted . You still typed trash that APC government printed new notes bla bla

In fact ! Every single note you posted has 2014 inscribed on it !
You guys will do anything to discredit PMB and APC . Just to earn your 5naira per post .
You’re the one that took every single picture you posted and you also captioned one of them “conducted give me new 100 naira note . It’s been ages “
Whereas in another picture. You’re flaunting a bale of new N100 notes .
So much for your stinking propaganda

Shehunoshewhat:
Very foolish post...

GoTV:
Nigeria should invade Israel and deal with them for harbouring terrorist Kanu

Hotfreezer:
If you are suffering from short memory, Yorubas aren't suffering from it.

We remember what Obi said about Yorubas. We remember how he derided Yorubas and spoke of us like lepers.

We remember how he called Lagos no man's land.

We remember the insults on Yorubas in the ACN and the insults on Awolowo's legacy.

Yorubas would treat would Obi exactly how he treated Yorubas.

NwaAmaikpe:




This is pure blasphemy.
It is an unforgivable sin to stand on the altar with a rifle.

This type of sin won't have gone unpunished in the days of the biblical Moses and David.
Sometimes I get angry with the Lord for being such a merciful God.

Christianity as a religion of peace and longsuffering must not be associated with any tool of violence.
(Matthew 26:52, Luke 6:29, John 18:11)

I hope Wike and others will follow him to Lagos too.

Fayose has forgotten that this is an election period where other politicians will be too busy to even lend him a hand of support like was given to Saraki.

Buterflyle0:
Its no longer news that Nnamdi KANU has resurfaced but what is actually news now is that in celebration of his return all shops in Aba have been shut down as all business owners are in a celebrating mood.

PDP is in trouble as the signs are apparent that Nnamdi KANU would scuttle their chances of getting meaningful votes from the SE as he is all for REFERENDUM as against the RESTRUCTURE that Atiku has been busy trying to deceive the people of the SE with.

If Islam truly still preaches this, we need to be worried.
