Many questions arise:
1. Why is "Gbaja" sharing buses, tricycles and motorcycles when they're not listed in his constituency projects?
2. Will anyone be bold enough o beat his chest and claim that "Gbaja" has spent up to 10% (N130 million) out of the N1.3 Billion allocated to Surulele1 constituency alone?

Rampant kidnappings in Nigeria used to be a Niger Delta affair, where indigenous militants abducted oil workers, mostly expatriates, as a form of protest or agitation for the region’s development. This tension has been there, between some of the people and foreign corporations since the 1990s and gradually became more confrontational.
No one imagined that Kaduna State and many other states across the country would begin to record such cases, and without any form of agitation, with the exception of Borno and Yobe states where the Chibok and Dapchi schoolgirls respectively, and numerous others, were forcefully taken by Boko Haram insurgents.

On the Kaduna-Abuja route, the criminals’ conclusion may have been that Abuja, being the capital city, has some high-profile persons commuting the expressway. This may have appeared valid when people like Army Colonel Samaila Inusa, a director in the Dangote Group, Mansur Ahmed and three clerics, Rev. Emmanuel Dziggau, Rev. Yakubu Dzarma and Rev. Iliya Anto, and one Afolabi Alega. Out of these, four survived to tell the tale, while two, Colonel Inusa and Rev. Anto were not so lucky. But this soon changed when people were randomly taken on the highway.

But it is not always a Kaduna-Abuja highway affair. The danger seems to have shifted more recently to the Birnin-Gwari part of the state. Just on Friday, June 8, it was reported that armed bandits held hostage 23 travellers on the Birnin-Gwari to Kaduna route at Kwanar-tsauni, between Udawa and Labi.

In the past year, out of the 36 states in Nigeria, Kaduna recorded the highest with 157 kidnapped persons, followed by Rivers, 61, Niger, 37, Ondo and Rivers states, 21, aside the Federal Capital Territory which has recorded 22 cases. This puts virtually the entire country in a hostage-taking dilemma.

In Rivers State medical doctors have been major targets. In 2015 it was reported that a medical doctor based at Elekahia part of the state was abducted by gunmen. Five days after his abduction, his body was found in the bush. This sparked off protests by medical doctors in the state as they matched to the Government House to lodge their complaint to Governor Nyesom Wike. This was not the only incident. Fast-forward to 2017, doctors became apprehensive after five of their colleagues were taken. These included Dr. Bob-Manuel Clark, a medical doctor based in Omoku, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, Dr. Alex Akani, a consultant physician with the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) and another consultant with UPTH, Dr. Borimari.

Omoku, an oil and gas-rich community, had been overrun by cultists and bandits on a killing spree. The rampant killings and abductions made residents of the community to desert the area until security agents moved in to restore peace.
Dr. Alex Akani was abducted twice. He was released six days after his colleagues at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital went on an indefinite strike.

Also, in Cross River State (in January this year), over 150 doctors from private, public and missionary hospitals and those in tertiary institutions protested in Calabar against the kidnap of their colleague, Dr Emem Udoh.
Earlier, their colleague, Dr Usang Ekanem, who was kidnapped on December 26, 2017 was set free. He worked in Cross River College of Education Medical Centre in Akamkpa LGA of the state.

While kidnappings on highways appear random, many are not. A typical example is that of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Akito Rentals, Mr Sunday Ekanem, which took place in his residence, Atu Street in Calabar LGA of Cross River State in February 2018. According to reports, it was the second time Mr. Ekanem was abducted, and the last time was in 2014.

In January this year, some gunmen suspected to be kidnappers abducted two persons, a manager of a popular hotel and a guest in Supare-Akoko in Akoko South-West LGA of Ondo State.
Patterns to abductions seem visible where criminals target traders in Calabar. In February 2018 one Ifeanyi and Lazarus, both spare parts dealers, and another, an electrical parts dealer, were taken away from their shops at Victor Akan Street, Calabar South. The three were reported to have parted with millions before they were released.

However, not long after, a popular dealer in Japanese vehicles spare parts, Mr. Paulinus Obi and another business man, Emmanuel Ozokwu, a contractor, were abducted. This caused panic among the business community.

Recently, a kidnap kingpin, Barau Ibrahim aka Rambo, believed to be the leader of a criminal gang terrorizing people in Birnin-Gwari, Kaduna State and the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Expressway, was apprehended.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Moshood Jimoh, the Force Public Relations Officer, said his arrest led to the capture of another gang member, Shehu Abdullahi aka Gashin Baki, 40.
“Serious efforts are in progress as IRT operatives deployed to Kaduna are on unrelenting follow up against the remaining killers and kidnappers on the run,” he said.

And we forked out half a billion of scarce foreign currency for this

Scratching my head? Is the OP saying that we bought fighter jets that our personnel cannot fly/handle?

docadams:
@OP, find something more useful to do. This issue has been debated and rested by scholars in the field. Verdict - Excellent transaction. Still your choice and that of your cohorts to keep up with this needless task.

The septuagenarian presidents of Nigeria and the United States held a much-publicized meeting at the White House on April 30. The two countries are trying to patch things up after their biggest ever row. During the tenure of former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, relations deteriorated to their lowest level ever, culminating with the U.S. refusal to sell Cobra attack helicopters to Nigeria in 2015 to aid the country’s fight against the terrorist group Boko Haram. The spat, which arose due to U.S. concerns about alleged human rights abuses by the Nigerian army, prompted Nigerian accusations that the United States was a false friend that had failed to help Nigeria in its moment of crisis.

But personal priorities have driven the most recent round of diplomacy. For Nigeria’s embattled president, Muhammadu Buhari, it was an opportunity to escape domestic criticism and pressure and demonstrate to voters that he has kept Nigeria’s partnership with the United States intact. For U.S. President Donald Trump, meeting with the president of Africa’s most populous country was an excellent chance for him to contain the furor after his infamous comments referring to African nations as “shithole countries” and to counter accusations that he does not care about the continent.

Buhari needs a political boost if he is going to have a shot at re-election. The meeting with Trump, and the United States’ recent decision to sell Super Tucano fighter jets to Nigeria, allows Buhari to show voters at home that he has repaired a broken relationship and that his own skills have achieved deals with Washington that his predecessor couldn’t produce.

Yet Buhari needs the Tucano deal more than his country does. This deal amounts to toys for the boys, bolstering Buhari’s image, rather than being a gamechanger in the war against Boko Haram. Indeed, Nigeria is getting the right equipment but at the wrong time.

Tucano jets would have had more impact four years ago, when Boko Haram was attacking and occupying Nigerian territory like a conventional army, rather than today, when its preferred method of attack is to send little girls into mosques and crowded markets on suicide bombing missions. The Tucanos will not stop suicide bombings, nor will they stop the clashes between farmers and herdsmen that are Nigeria’s next security headache.

But the relationship, always unsteady, is not out of the woods. And even Buhari’s much-touted arms deal is causing friction. Nigeria’s minister of defense, retired Army Brig. Gen. Mansur Dan-Ali, protested the stringent conditions that Washington attached to the sale of the Tucano jets. The jets will not be delivered until 2020, and Nigerian officers will be barred from maintaining them, examining their architecture, or from being trained by U.S. personnel.

Dan-Ali was so outraged by these conditions that he vowed not to pay for the jets unless the U.S. conditions are relaxed. The inexplicably high cost of the Tucano jets (almost $500 million), and the fact that Buhari agreed to their purchase without approval from the National Assembly, also led some senators to call for his impeachment. With the deal under such close scrutiny, what seemed like a much-needed Band-Aid for U.S.-Nigerian relations could prove painful if it gets torn off.
