At a convocation lecture, a governor shouldn't be reading he should be talking to the students and academicians.

So what are the citizens and civil society groups supposed to do?
Purchase guns, arm themselves or stay awake at night?
Is the Nigerian government truly incapable of fighting this menace?
If we put same energy we putting into 2027 ambition on the fight against terrorism, the terrorists would have been gone by now. It's all about priority of investment, time and action.

Nnamdi Kanu said years ago.

This is all evidence to show that there are criminals in the state government who are talking to these criminals in the bush.
I will not imagine such an update on their demands suddenly becoming political. Wetin concern bandits with law? They are being guided by insiders who are calling the bluff of the state government.

SmartPolician:
Rescuing them is not the problem

Oyo State house of assembly speaker said they are making lots of demands, including occupying some parts of the state.

This failed stated has emboldened the people. This is what you get when you place politics over human lives.

Why will they imagine they should consider the demands of these criminals?
At this stage, Nigeria needs to adopt a 50-50 strategy to every kidnap incident.
Storm the area, rescue the victims, kill all terrorists, ensure damage control and compensation.
This way these idiots will know the game is over for money making and playing with human lives.

Dialpad:
They look like 2 different individuals

Well, thats why the post is here and it's got people talking.
Abeg money and good relaxed life us the best.

When Naira was N165 to $1US the minimum wage was about N18000.
I paid my staff N18000 to N25000
Today I pay my staff N50000 to N70000.
What is that equivalent to the USD?
We want to rate petrol, rice, cars, cloths, travel expenses, legislator's salaries against the USD but workers earnings against the number of, 000s it should have behind it. I think it's all unfair to think this way.
Workers deserve better if the system works right.

Those moving to APC are no better.
It's like being in a crowd and you want to talk to everyone, you must find a way to wiggle to the front, good or bad.
Nigerias political problems require desperate measures today because the country is in deep trouble.
Anyone thinking that we will correct our leadership mistakes of the past with the processes we have in place today is dreaming.
No popular party will present us a candidate with true spirit except by mistake or some exceptions and the individual just decides to ignore all the strings that brought him in and works to save the country through reforms. No primaries, electoral commission, ballot boxes or voters cards or election days will bring any change that will make us change our leadership qualities except something out of the ordinary happens.

sparko1:
Your mistake is you don't understand the implication of moving from LP to ADC and then ND within a year.

1. It proves lack of concrete plan

2. Rash decision making without thinking of consequences

3. No foresight

4. Desperation for power without long time plan

5. Finally, lack of leadership ability.

The Nigerian deep rooted political problem came when the military who were afraid of prosecution after military rule handed this country to touts who were willing to play dirty, who were willing to cause violence, destroy election materials, kill or intimidate descent Nigerians who wanted a real country. No sane person could venture into politics at that time.
Today those touts have become, governors and have grown to the top of our political hemisphere continuously recruiting other touts along the line.
Visit many wards and party gatherings today and you will understand the type of people in charge of our future.
This is how Nigeria got leadership wrong and it's deep rooted that a change will require some type of catastrophic end to the current way things are done.

I'm wondering what may have prompted her opening up a new mattress she bought.

That Nigerian's name is fake. This must be the handwork of the enemies of Nigeria's political future.

This can only be described as balablu

Mental slavery for someone who talks of being a leader. You don't need Tinubu of your people believe in you.

Watch and see. This will be the case nationwide into the general elections.

Raxxye:
I hope my brothers will not make Rwandan government regret this decision!

It's the other way round bro.

Una don de find wetin una go take start ebola talk now abi?
Why now?

Dear mothers, for now, our politicians are busy strategising for 2027.
We haven't seen any careful and calculated Nigeria project involving all our politicians from different parts of the country all with a strong desire to win, like 2027.
How I wish those that hold power, could leave everything else, come together to fight, corruption, poor security and banditry, hunger,

The Rivers people like it that way.

No Nigerian politician shared this video. They are busy sharing envelopes for 2027 ambition so the killings will continue.

Depends on the type of house and on the following.
1. He already has a plot of land
2. He is very serious about it.
3. Still single.
4.Ready to throw in N400 to N500k monthly to the project and live like someone earning N100k.
"Throw - in" could mean setting aside on some kind of savings or deposit on materials for up to 3 consecutive months at some stages of the project.

But it will be hard. Pray his job lasts for up to 5years.

Madam I don't understand what exactly leaving the family means to them if you were legally married to their son who is now late.
Maybe he owns some property in the village or is it the inheritance for your children. They will later grow up to stand for themselves and know what a selfish family their dad comes from.
Live your life in the city, align with your paternal home on this matter and wait for time.
They can't claim your children or your husband's belongings elsewhere.
I am first son in my family with a responsibility to protect everyone and I will never subscribe to such selfishness even if tradition permits it or demands it.

k2money:
Hand go soon catch you. So you no know that Boko haram live in Chad, Niger, Cameroon. You think is only Nigeria that have Boko haram.with this nonsense you are typing up and down hand go catch you soon

Who doesn't know these things? The initial post suggests same.
Most governments are trying to keep them at bay, but they still have their strongholds.

It's sad to see how humans have an objective to kill other humans. Dogs, cats, elephants, fishes or eagles have no such desire.
We are at a stage where civilization is about to destroy the very race that discovered and is developed it.
Boko Haram wouldn't gain grounds in Nigeria if our government were not involved in raising it and acted decisively to prevent it's incursion at the early stages.

All that strength the soldier is displaying is simply backed by the confidence that the journalist will never fight back. If not, how can you behave this way if you are a disciplined and educated military or law enforcement officer whose duty is to serve and protect the public.

Witchcraft. The black man eating up himself.

Nigeria in its 1st century has decided to be a loser, an unserious nation with no direction.
Until we fix our leadership problem and take it from these touts we will never get anywhere. This is what the selfish military rulers caused us because they created a political class out of touts and ballot box snatcher with an agreement never prosecute them for they ills they caused.
After the British plan of suppression, this military road map will take nigeria another 100 years to fix.

Shouldn't they both be fighting poor governance?
I think it's APC plot to distract VDM

Don't you all hear that the lazy youth are pushing for his return to the National Assembly?
So who should object when the youth are ok with it.
This generation of youth and this generation of politicians na wa.

That is our trade mark, always showing ourselves the wrong way and causing disrepute to the productive and meaningful ones.
The concerns of Ghanaians is not fake or borne out of sentiments but facts that you can trace.
The problem is, the people causing these problems for Nigerians all over the world are the illiterate and semi literate people who have the money to leave Nigeria for no defined positive intentions than to make money by all means where they may be unknown.

Why not fund, construct and complete one project at a time. It's ok to plan so many but let's get one done properly in record time then move to the next.
5 effective and completed projects within a tenure is better than tens of them at different stages of work at the end of tenure.

After the whole continent fought for the blacks there to be free from apartheid the new generation have forgotten so quickly.
They deserve to be left to be ruled and segregated by the white folks.
