Once a southerner goes up north and fulani wraps his brain with that white bedsheet, shikenan, it's all over.

For the rest of your days, you'll continually defend fulani agenda.

Kalu is an old convert, they're just re-wrapping it to make sure it's air-tight.

Business is slow for the guru, no more customers...now looking for APC crumbs,

Still no word from the grand wizard of iragbiji.

During the Biafran war some benue people were involved in the murder of fleeing Igbos.

Now see what is happening to them.

I don't know if you're Igbo or not. I am Igbo and I'll caution you to be careful with your utterances. Even if you believe this is retribution or whatever, you don't need to gloat in the face of this tragedy.
This is not how Igbo reason. Show some humanity.

It's too much! We cannot remain docile anymore.

You said the state governments and local authorities have done all they are capable of doing by forming vigilantes.

Northern governors have just accepted the creation of state police. The vigilantes are usually uneducated hunters with little or no organised command and control structure to organise a defence against the ongoing insecurity nd insurgency. The vigilante should be used as a backup spy.

Buhari was against Amotekun having automatic weapons. Ametokun is an organised armed militia with a command and control hierarchy led by a retired military officer. Amettokun can easily integrate into a state police when it is formed.

The resources may be at the federal level, but the evidence suggests that Nigeria's federal institutions are ineffective.

The Nigerian army and Navy have failed to end oil theft in the Niger Delta. Under the leadership of a former military General, Buhari, the so-called federal army exacerbated the problem to the point that Nigeria's oil exports dropped to less than 1 million barrels per day.

The Nigerian army has already stated that kinetic military tactics cannot end the insecurity and insurgency. The state and local governments must do more.

The idea of state police has been mulled, till date it has only remained an idea. If we can have state police, give the states the independence and resources to secure their territories with their own police force, then we can begin to hold them accountable.

I understand the structure and limitations of Amotekun, as addressed already.

Failure of leadership and internal corruption is what has hampered the military's effort. Accountability starts from the top, from the commander in chief. A standard of expectation is established, those that don't deliver are quickly shown the exit. It takes intestinal fortitude and absolute determination from the top.
So, while I agree that the military is not delivering, we have to address why they are not delivering. Most importantly, the so-called commander in chief has to be held accountable.


Of course, it takes more than kinetic measures, but kinetic measures are necessary.

My Friend.

Nigeria is a federal republic; the state may not be equipped today, but that doesn't mean that it should not start the process immediately. Nigeria itself is not equipped to fight the current insurgency, so waiting for a federal government that has not existed for the past 10 years

As a Local Government Chairman or Governor, your number one responsibility is to your people. If the president is missing, take it on yourself to do the right thing and protect your people.

My friend,
That's not how Nigeria is structured. The state governments and local authorities have done all they are capable of doing by forming vigilantes. I've explained to you already that only the military is equipped to fight these terrorists.

The resources to combat this menace are all at the federal level. The military, police, paramilitary are all federal establishments. The resources to secure Nigeria are allocated to these organizations, this is the only reason they exist.


No matter how you twist it, you cannot pass the buck to civilians to fight these terrorists. The commander in chief must do whatever is necessary to ensure the military is up to the task of defending the nation from terrorists. Failure to do so is an indictment on him, and further demonstration of his incompetence.

Stop being the spokeperson for SS

Stop lumping them together with yourself

Just talk about your SE and move on
4 of 6 SS Gov are currently with him in APC and he even won 3 SS states in 2023


You two dont play politics the same way

Well, you're a liar.

Besides Rivers state where Wike stole the votes for Tinubu, Tinubu did NOT win any other SS states in 2023.

I don't know why you think you can peddle such blatant falsehood.

Tinubu inducing governors to cross-carpet does not mean the people are with him. After all, he got dusted in Lagos with APC governor and all the rigging.

As expected. No contest.

It's only right. Tinubu and all his thieves must give way that Nigeria may thrive.

No time for a fidgety despot and his bootlickers.

As Abacha said; any insurgency that lasts over 24-hours, the government's hand is involved.

Tribalism drives traffic around here, management is involved.

This guy use to be my senior in secondary school those days and his name is chika not chaka nd he is twin one of them use to represent the Nigerian team in taekwando thank God for life ndu first

Which secondary school is this? No, his name is actually Chaka.

He does have a brother that is Chika, who won an Olympic medal for Nigeria in taekwando. Maybe that's who you are mistaking him for.

That Okigwe axis is a hotbed for fulani terrorists, it was likely another kidnap attempt.

Thank God for saving the Ex-Boy.

What is the state governor doing? The SW didn't wait for Buhari before creating Amotekun. The governor has the finances and resources to secure his people.

No state government in Nigeria is equipped to effectively combat the menace of transnational terrorism that is ravaging Nigeria. Almost every state in Nigeria has some form of government supported vigilante outfit, just like you have your amotekun. These civilian outfits, as much as they try, are no match to these terrorists. At best, these vigilante groups are armed with pump action guns(many are still wielding dane guns), these terrorists have assault rifles, grenade launchers, machine guns, anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft machine guns, I've even seen them brandishing shoulder launched surface to air missiles.
This is definitely a job for the military, the police cannot even contend with these filthy agents of terror, talk less of poorly armed civilian vigilantes. Clearly, amotekun has not ejected these terrorists from yoruba forests, as they're still causing mayhem in that axis. Mind you, the situation in the North is far worse than what is experienced in the south.
It's extremely shameful that the Nigerian military has not been up to the task of doing what is necessary to ensure absolute annihilation of these terrorists. As the commander in chief, Tinubu, like his predecessors, has to be held accountable for this gross failure.

Mr. Man, we understand the life cycle of political jobbers like you. You have no convictions, yours is simply a quest for personal gain. Betrayal, selling out, double speak, blatant lies are your stock in trade. Be a good dog now, run, go fetch for your new owner.

Sufferisticated urchins, these bunch of never-do-wells will surely pay for this barbaric act.

That's great!
