PoliticsRe: El-Rufai Accuses NSA Ribadu Of Taking Money From State Treasury To Fund Bandits by malali: 10:33am On Sep 04, 2025
Banditry in Nigeria has become a profit-driven enterprise, with certain government officials complicit. It will only worsen as retired politicians increasingly subscribe to this ‘chaos-for-money’ model.

The government should infiltrate these networks and redirect the funds to turn bandits against their sponsors. A significant portion of the treasury is effectively being used to appease these criminals, almost as if they were worshiped deities.

Why is it that there are no bandits in Lagos, Rivers, or Delta? The Nigerian government must address this problem decisively and once and for all.

This is one of the reasons why we should vote competent leaders, not state, tribe, or political party. If the government was working, dangote would have been restless till he fix this menace, but this is nigeria, the leaders we have are only after their pockets, they'll turn a blind eye because of the gain they make from him, thanks to us who put them there.
Can this happen in other african countries? No

We will keep the pressure on until he addresses this. He’s hesitant because he knows the problem is widespread, and once he engages, accident reports will flood online. But facing difficult conversations is part of true leadership.

He should hold a press conference, acknowledge the issue to Nigerians, and outline the concrete measures being taken, with a formal review every six months for at least two years. He should invite both the public and representatives from the transport sector to brainstorm solutions.

The pressure is on. We don’t have to wait for a VIP to die before taking action!

There are so many businesses you can do legitimately without selling drugs.

The profits might be small initially, but then you wont risk your life or your freedom.

Those of you doing selling narcotics.....You will all be caught eventually.

I keep wondering how long before Dangote steps up and takes responsibility. Will he continue to ignore this? When will he show true corporate accountability for the lives endangered by his trucks? Every Nigerian traveling these roads is at risk.

Silence won’t make this problem disappear. We’ve seen him fight tooth and nail when NNPCL tried to steal his market share or denied him crude allocations, he was in every meeting, on every media page, relentless like a bulldog.

Yet now, as Nigerians are dying on the roads, we hear nothing. When will we see that same energy directed at protecting human lives? Does anything matter to him more than profits?

DeLaRue:
Why do news like this make it to the front page of Nairaland when it is completely irrelevant to Nigeria, and there are so many more important domestic issues.

Angela Rayner is a half educated, loud, hard-drinking, tax - dodging woman in a far flung country with zero relevance to the situation in Nigeria.

I bet the woman can't locate Nigeria on a world map, and would not know whether we were located in West or East Africa, yet news that she 'may' be removed from her role is pushed to the top of the front page. These people don't care that Nigerians exist, yet you are obsessed with them.

The UK, like France, is an old, debt-ridden, largely irrelevant country with a large mass of poor, uneducated populace, living on long-lost past glory. Yet every time someone sneezes in the UK, Nigerian media jumps up, particularly nairaland - it rushes UK news to its front page with alacrity.

When are Nigerians going to rid themselves of this post-colonial mentality of the conquered.

Singapore, Malaysia, India etc were also colonised by the UK, but they dont give a fig about every petty little thing going on in that country. They are focused on their own countries.
The world is smaller than you think, the need to compare global accountability is a need that can't be underestimated. We lack a lot of accountability in Nigeria, The old vanguards have refused to let go of blatant nepotism and crony oligarch system of government. Its not post colonial mentality. Lets see if she will be removed as housing secretary. If Wike was found to be amassing Abuja land for his family, will Tinubu sack him ?

They never know what they could wake up to on social media.

The irony is thick. The loudest woman during Rishi Sunak’s time in power, the one who shouted from every rooftop that everyone must pay their taxes, has now been caught dodging her own. To the tune of £40,000.

Now the calls are echoing for Keir Starmer to do the obvious: sack her. Because if the tax-preacher won’t pay her dues, how can the public take the government’s moral lectures seriously?

Everyone must pay their tax, Rayner told Tories

When Labour was in opposition Angela Rayner would often be outspoken on the need for everyone to pay their taxes (Laurence Sleator writes).

“Every pound of tax that is not delivered to the exchequer damages our public services,” she said last year as she called for a Conservative cabinet minister to be sacked over his tax affairs.

After it was revealed in March 2023 that Rishi Sunak, then the prime minister, paid HMRC £1.05 million from earnings of £4.77 million over the past three years, at a tax rate of 22 per cent , Rayner said: “Rishi Sunak’s much-delayed return reveals a Tory tax system where the PM pays a far lower tax rate than working people, who face the highest tax burden in 70 years.”

While chancellor, Nadhim Zahawi faced claims he tried to avoid tax and then had to pay it back. Rayner said: “The position of the man who was until recently in charge of the UK’s tax system and who this prime minister appointed Conservative Party Chair is now untenable.

“It’s time for Rishi Sunak to put his money where his mouth is and dismiss Nadhim Zahawi from his cabinet.”

uuzba:
Their grievances are money, food, and scatter every form of Nigerian unity.
So giving them seats in Senate house is the opposite of what they want.
To sit down "United" with you? No unity. Just scatter.
And collect kidnap ransom.
There is no insurgent in the world without a request, except the ones that are artificially manufactured, which seems increasingly to be the case here.
If their demands are for money, food, jobs, or poverty alleviation, these can be negotiated. We are not living in a jungle; continuous chaos cannot be tolerated.
Step forward, make your grievances known, and we can bargain, without further destruction or disruption.
PoliticsRe: Banditry: I Have To Create State Police, Says Tinubu by malali: 12:13pm On Sep 03, 2025
Exousiang01:
My biggest concern for the formation of state police has always being the immaturity of the state governors, imagine what Ododo was doing to prevent the EFCC from picking Bello, his security detail is all Federal, the police, the DSS and the NA, imagine what this guy's will now do with a state police with a state commissioner who will be appointment by the governor and the cheques will be signed by the governor.

It is a very good Idea, a police officer from Kaduna state can never know and understand the people and terrain of Katsina state as much as a resident of Katsina state. But are our governors mature enough for this responsibilities?
Unless we would have a clause that the state police will work under the state command of the Federal police.
The states are ultimately after the budget. Each state receives roughly $25–30 million annually for state police funding. Yet, even with state police in place, these states still run to the federal government complaining that the funds are insufficient, citing that bandits possess advanced weapons like bazookas and AK-47s.
This cycle of banditry demands a radical, homegrown solution, one tailored specifically to our African context. With state police already in place, it shouldn’t matter whether their orders come from Abuja or their respective governors; what matters is effective, locally rooted action.
PoliticsRe: El-rufai Should Be Questioned Over Allegations Of FG Paying Bandits — Datti Baba by malali:
Its high time we give these bandits seats in house of representatives and senate.

The bandits are wielding more influence over Nigeria than some elected officials. We are spending billions of dollars on ransoms and military budgets, yet the cycle persists.

Perhaps it’s time to consider giving them representation, say, 10 seats in the House of Representatives and 5 in the Senate.
(Democratic Bandits Party)

So we can hear directly about their grievances and explore what it would take for lasting peace. Clearly, the strategies employed over the past 20 years have failed.

And the middlemen between the government and the bandits are getting richer everyday.

PoliticsRe: Banditry: I Have To Create State Police, Says Tinubu by malali:
Create it with design to prevent abuse.

Who is going to fund it ? My bet is the states want access to the $30 million dollars police budget average per state.

Some states can barely feed themselves ?

Is better for the bandits in some of these states to run for election and come to Abuja to state their grievances.

Just start with 3 pilot states. Lets try 2 years of state police. Pick the hot banditry zones.
After that come back to the senate, or house of representative and review the outcome.
Nigeria might even benefit from a hybrid system of state and federal police.
No one is 100% sure state police will work.

PoliticsRe: FG Plans Privatisation Of Ajaokuta Steel, Refineries, Airports, 89 Other by malali:
Privatizing 91 SOEs is a double-edged sword. To prevent looters, ensure wealth distribution, and still attract investment:

1. Pre-Qualified Bidders Only: Require proof of clean funds, audited financial history, and track record. Ban shell companies tied to politicians or corrupt networks.
2. Employee & Citizen Shares: Allocate 10–20% of each SOE to employees and local citizens via trust-managed share schemes. This creates mass ownership and grassroots wealth.
3. Staggered Sales & Auctions: Sell assets in tranches, through competitive, transparent bidding platforms, avoiding monopolization by a single elite or foreign entity.
4. Sovereign Wealth & Development Funds: Portion proceeds into a Nigerian Social Equity Fund, earmarked for infrastructure, education, and healthcare—benefiting the lower and middle class.
5. Blockchain Transparency: Record all transactions publicly on immutable ledgers, preventing backdoor deals and ensuring citizens can audit privatization.
6. Regulated Price Floors: For strategic sectors (airports, refineries, ports), set minimum concession/asset values to prevent fire-sales to insiders.
7. Independent Oversight Body: Empower a non-partisan commission of economists, civil society, and technocrats to monitor execution, disbursement, and reinvestment of proceeds.


Dont allow the usual suspects to bring out money from under their beds, and buy everything. Wealth distribution is our problem....Not absolute wealth. Nigeria is a wealthy country. In the hands of 50 or less people.


If we can adopt the Chinese capital punishment for looting and corruption. Then privatization will work. But under our current oligarchy and presidential crony system, it is bound to fail.
