Did you say the same when it happened in Borno, Katsina, Kaduna, Niger, Kogi and Kwara all under the watch of your tin-god? In some of these states, the victims are still in captivity. You are now pushing an agenda because Seyi Makinde, a fellow Yoruba, dared to contest against your tin-god.
Seyi is a neophyte when it comes to sw politics,whats the big deal about him,he isn't the first 2 term gov so what's so special.......but when your ambition is without leash and you can throw politics at every thing then there lies a problem......seyi will get eaten up by this trust me.

Oh, you expected the people of Ibadan to be desensitised, accept their "fate" and move on? Weren't you the ones who said Southwesterners are sophisticated people?
I absolutely have no problem with the protest whatsoever, many people on the presidents side are too complacent and grossly incompetent, iys obvious they have grown too comfortable on the job......but these definitely has politics written all over it,let tinubu stew in his own juice,they did it to gej with chibok......but tonubu has been down this road before and he always comes out stronger, endsars protest readily comes to mind.
Politics › Re: Tinubu Approves 1000 Forest Guards In Oyo, Deploys Rescue Team by Lithiumite: 2:42pm On Jun 01
DrTee1:
Thanks for the engagement. First, let me just clear the air on one thing: I am not speaking for the government at all. I am neither a politician nor a government appointee, so I have no brief to defend anyone. I am just looking at this strictly from a professional and civic angle, especially regarding how security operations run versus how public communication should be handled during a major crisis like this.

To be honest, you made some very solid points that I completely agree with. You are spot on about the government losing goodwill and completely mismanaging the narrative. Seeing top officials dotting around in agbada looking like special guests at an owambe while families are in trauma is truly nauseating and deeply embarrassing. You are totally right that when leadership takes weeks to show empathy or doesn't let the public see law enforcement actively moving on the ground—the way they do during crises in the US—it creates a massive vacuum. It makes the state look incredibly complacent and incompetent, and that critique of the administrative optics is 100% valid.
Where we need to look closer, though, is the actual mechanics of the security operations you mentioned, because the context is a bit different from what is happening in Oyo. Take the Munich Olympics incident and Operation Wrath of God that you brought up. That was an international, decades-long covert assassination campaign hunting down targets across Europe and the Middle East years after the event. It wasn't an active, domestic hostage rescue mission. In Oyo, we are dealing with a live, local kidnapping where the absolute, immediate priority is getting living victims out of a specific forest or terrain safely. The operational rules for these two scenarios are completely different.

Even if we look at the Entebbe rescue operation in 1976 which you also mentioned, the same rule applied. That was a lightning-fast commando raid done in total secrecy on foreign soil. The Israeli military didn't give the public or the media live updates about troop strength, the terrain, or the routes they were taking while the operation was brewing. If they had broadcasted those details beforehand, the hijackers would have just executed the hostages on the spot.

That is exactly why tactical details have to be kept under wraps, even if it is incredibly frustrating for those of us watching from the outside. The police or military command cannot come out to tell the public how many men are on the ground, the routes they are taking, or exactly what they know about the kidnappers' positioning while the operation is active. These criminal networks and terrorists track the news and social media constantly. Giving out those specific details live on TV effectively hands the adversary the operational blueprint, which immediately compromises the safety of the troops and puts the lives of those innocent victims in direct danger.

I completely agree with you that the delay and the communication gaps from the leadership have been a massive embarrassment, and people have every right to feel secure and see that the state is capable. But there is a very fine line between demanding better public empathy and crisis management from political leaders, and demanding tactical data that belongs strictly in a secure command center. Our ultimate goal is to see those victims returned safely to their families, and achieving that requires absolute operational discretion on the back end, even while we rightly continue to hold the administration accountable for their general incompetence.
The scale of the information i am talking about doesn't have to be anything elaborate or operation specific.......in info management there are so many ways to say a lot without saying nothing......let the optics do 80% of tbe talking,thats more than sufficient.......look at Gbajabiamila saying rubbish about 1k forest guards,does he have any idea how ridiculous he sounds...... ..Now the tinubu govt is in a far bigger mess right now on this kidnap incident than gej was with chibok.....its his home turf and ibadan is far more visible than maiduguri.......the fg had wasted too much time......if they had done the needful earlier on,the people wouldn't be feeling the gaps with conspiracy theories and propaganda.

I think you have more to worry about than Atiku. Happening right now in Ibadan, the ancestral home of Yorubaland. At this point, the Southwest is not sure for Tinubu.

Isn't it becoming more apparent that there is a political undertone to this kidnap saga.....its really beginning to look so.

To prove this is a kidnap with criminal intent and nothing more ,why hasn't anyone come out to claim responsibility and publicly state their demands.

That video was made and posted with a cell phone with mobile network,why hasn't the security operatives been able locate them?

After 2 weeks,the woman still looks this neat with her hair well packed and still has jewelry on her hand or could this have been a pre recorded video perhaps before the killing of that maths teacher because she confirmed one of them being taken to be killed.

You keep posting this nonsense are you wiser than the govs or their financial team even those in opposition parties like soludo and otti are all attesting to the fact their allocations have increased and they now have more room for fiscal management.

Why were govs owing salaries and borrowing to build projects in your so called year of boom.....our universities are now better funded and you see sone state govs taking on huge insfractructutal projects because of better funding.....instead of you to focus on your gov to account for what he is getting you keep running after tinubu up amd down like he is the reason for your poverty.

But, do you know that Oyo state governor is as useless as it comes. He has nothing to offer as the chief security officer of the State. If you know the memos that the governor must have been generating on this issue just to loot.
SO WHERE THEN IS AMOTEKUN?
WHERE ARE THE EIYE, AYE AND VIKING CONFRATERNITIES IN OYO.
OYO STATE GOVERNOR, YOU FALL YOUR HAND, YOU NO GET ANYTHING TO OFFER.
Both the fg and oysg are complicit this even shows makinde's incompetence and I always get angry when people are trying to absolve him....for petes sake he is the CSO of the state, where are the amotekun he says he funds?.....it equally took him 2 weeks to visit the place when he heard the fg was coming.

DrTee1:
Like many young people, you guys just rush to what you see in movies or TV.

Let me take you to 1972 in Germany. Nigeria isn't even at that level of organisation yet. Several Israeli athletes were killed in cold blood at the Olympics Games village.

​The games went on but Israel did something really cold. The Israeli government, headed by a woman at the time, commissioned a covert revenge mission.

Through MOSSAD's Operation Wrath of God, they spent years systematically hunting down and eliminating the key operatives behind the hit. They didn't do it for PR, and they didn't hold press conferences while tracking them.

Everything about terror and counter-terror isn't broadcast realtime on TV.
Whats the correlation between the Munich incident and domestic terror we are talking about.....who is even asking the military to kill the terrorists today today........if you call me young,I appreciate that because I want to stay young for as long as possible but I will tell you about other covert mossed ops such as the entebbe rescue operation in the 70s,the decades long hunt for nazi commanders across the globe.

That is mossed,thats covert,this kidnap incident would have its covert side on the back end,no one is telling NIA or DMI to come and be telling us live updates,no! Far from it.

But the police,army command can tell us how many men are on ground, details of the terrain,what they know about the kidnappers,the routes they took etc.....the govt has lost a lot of goodwill overtime that people no longer believe what govt says but majority believe what they see even if its a lie.

You showing me NSA and CoS in agbada Dotting all over the place like special guests at an owambe event is nauseating to be honest more disconcerting is that it even took them 2 weeks to come out to address the people,haba!!

This has brought nothing but embarrassment tobthe govt, even if the kids gets rescued today nobody will care anymore but what will keep ringing in people's minds is the incompetence of govt to have allowed this happen in the first place putting those children and their families through so much trauma.....thats tbe narrative that govt should have seized and deployed to change.....we see shooting incidences in america and within 24 hrs you are already getting live feeds from the scene with law enforcement seen moving around doing their jobs and speaking to the public,this gives a sense of self worth and security and that govt is capable and not complacent.....imagine something bad happens to any of the remaining victims,God forbid.....what the people will keep in their heads is that govt responded too late.

Exousiang01:
The last video of the principal released she clearly stated that the kidnapers are angry because the government was making attempts to rescue them.

The kidnapers are posting videos on social media.
You want the government to release updates on the same social media.
If you were a kidnapper and the government is releasing updates on what they are doing to get you, will you remain in the same position?
Are you sure you are functioning properly?
You think this is a movie?
You children won't stop shocking us with your lack of ......

The video clearly shows that the government is actively working on this.
For the kidnappers to even be angry and wanting to kill another person it shows they are loosing control of the situation.....

You Nigerians are very interesting.
Government should give live update.
Jokers
You know nothing,feel the pulse ofvthe people, there is nothing tinubu does now or by tomorrow morning that will change anything to his negative PR ratings......the govt sucks at PR and all those saddled with that responsibility are all below par.....if all these they're doing now was done within 48 hrs of the incident do you know how much mileage that will go......GEJ got the chibok girls back hope you remember but the damage was already done and he never recovered same script same incompetence......borrow a leaf from Trump,duse is grossly incompetent but his showman capabilities is whats helping his ratings.

In 48 hrs,show a detachment soldiers and law enforcement already on ground,surveillance equipments,show activities with the press broadcasting live from the epi center with the NSA and the gov present,even if its for a week, by now Nigerians would have calmed down and only be hoping for the successful rescue,the pressure would have reduced on tinubu and he would have shown himself with hands kn capabilities to secure the nation but this you have done you have only sparked further outrage in the people......america was giving updates on their Iran misadventure that even we in lagos were following but now everyone has moved on from there,even if america ends that war today everyone will barely notice.

I won't be surprised if the kidnapped children and teachers have been scattered all over SW and NC because we have a very porous boarders around. It is well coordinated attacks that likely have political undertones inside. If they are not vigilant enough, more and similar ones will still occur soon in another area of SW. These people are within and government is just playing politics with it.
Because he heard the fg delegation was coming,he ran there to do photo ops.....all the politicians are the same.

How many litres of petrol can an average civil servant afford from his salary to fuel his motorcycle - let me not mention car.
Whats the minimum wage in Ghana compared to Nigeria......just go to Ghana and price a car then comeback to compare to Nigeria.....Libya,angola,tunisia,south africa aren't your mate when it comes to per capita income....Libya is over $6k while yours is less than $1k, non of those countries above Nigeria has up to half our population even cars and machinery......so how do you expect Nigeria a poorer nation to subsidise a population of over 200m to the tune of N5tr annually and a chunk of that is going out through our borders to our west African neighbours making some people richer while the country keeps carrying the burden.

Oga, the 1000 intended forest guards is not to combat the terrorists who stole 46 people. They will be raised, as part of government efforts to forestall future occurrences. Presently, the terrorists have been located and surrounded but the government owe you no explanation on when they were located, how they were located and where they were located. The only info I can divulge do far is that they have been surrounded, the terrorists know they are, they are upset about it and are threatening to kill another hostage. Infact, they are now desperate for negotiation and the government is refusing to do that. The government is obviously cautious because of the kids, otherwise, they would have cleared them.
No one is telling givt to divulge operational details to the public, dont you see crisis situtions in US where CNN will be broadcasting updates on incidents with security and govt officials giving updates on whats being done to salvage the situation..... the security agencies dont need to tell you exact operational info.I am talking about aesthetics these kind of thing does only one thing PR for govt, this is an election season, do you know how much mileage the govt would have gotten,it gives the people a sense of self worth,this should be proven that this is western Nigeria and we dont condone such nonsense here......even if the kids gets rescued it doesn't add anything to tinubu's anymore.
