Nigeria Suffering Insecurity Because Buhari Regime Failed To Rearrest Freed Terrorists - Omokri



Former aide to ex president Goodluck Jonathan, pastor Reno Omokri has said that Nigeria is witnessing increased insecurity because the past administration of ex president Muhammadu Buhari failed to rearrest terrorists who were illegally freed from penitentiary by other terrorists.


Recall that Tuesday, July 5, 2022, during the administration of former president Buhari, hundreds of terrorists on motorcycles invaded Kuje prisons and, according to reports, freed over 600 of the 900 inmates in that penitentiary.


According to Omokri, the Buhari administration never rearrested the illegally freed terrorists. He said consequently, Nigeria is suffering from that failure by way of worsening insecurity.


Pastor Omokri, who is also a best-selling author took a swipe on some politicians who were among the previous administration, like popular Islamic Scholar, Isa Pantami, saying they lack moral grounds to say Nigeria is facing worse insecurity under president Tinubu than under ex president Buhari.


Omokri said, in fact, that there was worse insecurity in Nigeria during the Buhari administration than the country currently has.


He said, "Jailbreaks, airport invasions and train bombings are now a thing of the past. Oil thefts have reduced, and our oil production has increased from what it was under Buhari to about 2 million barrels per day today. And no police stations have been destroyed in the Southeast since Buhari's inept regime thankfully came to an end."


His statement reads thus:





Reno Omokri

Can't you just see that you've been demystified? Just shut up already. Everyone knows you're empty. And in this piece they called you a pastor just to ensure the northerners won't forget this your thoughtless disparaging assault on their ways.
You're in for it, mark my words.

I will try and make this brief and please ignore the errors.

I was with my close friend yesterday evening. While we were chilling together, a call came in on his phone. it was his cousin that called telling what had happened and also seeking his advice. Now this is what happened, this his cousin has been dating this lady for about a year I think and he has already proposed to her and even took her to his parents and siblings. He also visited the lady family and did some introduction. Now April this year has been chosen for the wedding ceremony proper and a date has been fixed. This is where trouble started.

My friend cousin created a WhatsApp group for his wedding ceremony, he added all his friends and some of his classmates to this group so they can join hands and make his wedding day memorable. He posted his wedding IV to the group and some pictures of him and the lady, one of his old time classmate recognized her and immediately called him for a private meeting for urgent discussions.


He visited him the next day and this guy told him everything about his fiancée. How she used to be a stripper in Lagos clubs years back and how he and his friends had wild 3some with her. She used to base in Lagos as a call girl but relocated to Abuja and that’s where she met my friend cousin. After all these revelation this guy was in deep pain as he had already gone far with the weeding preparations. Of course his old time classmate advised him not to marry her, but this guy loves her so much and he is in a big dilemma of what to do next. As he thinking of leaving the country and go start life with her elsewhere.

Can such past truly be overlooked?

After my friend explained everything to me, I was just short of words but of course I advised he shouldn’t marry her. What advice would you give him in such a situation my fellow Nlanders ?

Ehn ehn? So your friend is feeling bad that his fiancee had the best time if her life when she was young. What about him? Did he remain a nerd all those years? He should forget that shit and marry her.

As a visitor, if you taste my stew ehh i swear you will vomit fire like a dragon! Because my stew is as pepperish as a raw chilly pepper. Even the little time i usually spend with my family they know the uniqueness of my culinary skills. I am actually allergic to some foods like dairy products e.g milk yoghurt etc all types of fish except the extremely dried one are digusting to my taste, i hate custard, kunu aya, spaghetti except the peppered jollof. So i dont understand why i need to consume foods added with extreme peppers and other hot spices. Is it a health problem or a natural occurence? Because i sweat alot these days! Some people said there are plenty worms in my stomach. Huhmm!

Don't mind those people calling you Yoruba joor! Pepper is quite good for taste but it shouldn't be too much😀😀

My dad's driver son is right here in our house and he's the first child of his dad, he's totally different from the rest, he doesn't look like his dad neither does he look like his mum, there's no resemblance from both parents at all.

I stylishly dig up stories of how his mum was married because he's been driving my dad even before I was born and I was told she was already pregnant before the marriage ceremony was held and as at that time of their wedding, the woman lived in a different state, she just came and told him she was pregnant and that was how marriage happened .

I have watched this boy from head to toe so I can see at least one feature in resemblance but I didn't see anything, not even from the mom, he's just totally different. The other kids are ok, two share a striking resemblance with their dad while the last took after her mom but with some of the dad features, so are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Should I tell my dad my observation? What do you think?

It's normal. It's a case of variation. Sometimes kids look very different from their parents due to recessive genes.

Disney & Kugali To Release New Animated TV series, IWÁJÚ on The 28th of February.

Iwaju is an animated series set in a futuristic Lagos, Nigeria. The title of the series, iwájú, roughly translates to "the future" in the Yoruba language (literally "front-facing". The Yoruba are a West African ethnic group who inhabit Nigeria (where this show is set), Benin and Togo.

Written by Adeola and Halima Hudson, Toluwalakin Olowofoyeko, the narrative follows the tale of Tola, a young girl hailing from an island, and her close companion Kole, a self-taught tech expert. Their friendship is tested by Bode, a tech pioneer who hides a criminal underworld he runs with an iron fist.

Following the announced date for its release, Nigerian-American actors Dayo Okeniyi, Simisola Gbadamosi, veteran actor Femi Branch, Siji Soetan and British-Nigerian actress, Weruche Opia have been revealed as some of the voices behind the characters in the animation.

I have said it before, the Yoruba people are gifted and are the front-runners in Africa. I am an Igbo man but I no go lie Yoruba people are good. I love their language which can blend easily with any other language. Their easy lifestyle also is another catchment area. In short I love Yoruba people. I also speak their language.

Of course everyone knows that Nigeria will disintegrate one day. Hehehe, let the stupid tribalists in the South continue to shade themselves. By the time the country disintegrates, the North will have more than 75% of arms and ammunition in the country and they will do their best to subjugate everyone starting from the SW

This story gives me conflicting emotions,on one hand I'm happy Government is stopping cultural organization from inaugurating pseudo militia groups to protect themselves,but again, another part of me is in solidarity with Miyetti Allah,for how long will people continue to rustle their cows and stop them from benefiting from their labour.
This Herders-farmers clash has gone on for far tool long in Nigeria,it's spreading at an alarming pace all over Nigeria, we must stop pretending it's a non-issue when at least a farmer or an herder is killed somewhere in Nigeria every day.
Please Asiwaju should please in the name of Almighty God,Allah and all the gods of our land bring out a template to permanently end this crisis.
If Asiwaju could tame the Ocean some years ago in Lagos State,have the foresight to start the Gigantic Lekki Free Trade Zone,pls he should muster the political will to permanently resolve this crisis.
I fear for Nigeria,I dread the Day the Fulani Man stops seeing cattle herding as a means to solve his financial problems, the day millions of cattle herders stop their ancestral practice,I wonder what will happen to Nigeria.
Boko Haram will be child's play....
God bless Nigeria

May God first punish u for this your stupid comment. It's like you just wanted to say something stupid. You have quickly forgotten the years that Fulani herdsmen raped and killed our women in the farms and killed our men in the South. May God punish you and others who would want to forget that experience. May God punish you all.

Starcrest1:
Don't confuse colonialists with missionaries.
And you can't really be asking what the Christian missionaries did in Nigeria.

The hospital I was born was built by the missionaries and is still standing till today.

Like OP said, it was because of their great works in Nigeria that made our forefathers abandon their religion.

Forget about what the Nigerian Christians are doing today, that was not how the missionaries started it.

Shut up joor! And they told you that the missionaries were not part of the colonizers abi? Dey play

ravensckar:
Every passing day, it's becoming obvious that the insecurity issue that is bedevilling Abuja is politically motivated. Tinubu appointed Ribadu (an ex-police officer) as a National Security Adviser. This has never happened before, that position is always occupied by military men. Secondly, he appointed a Southerner (Wike of all people) as a minister of FCT. Anyone with functioning brain cells would see that the President is daring the North and they will show him. My only concern is the citizens that will be caught in the cross fire because where two Elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers.

Mr. President, this is not Lagos where you have absolute control. Your government should be one of inclusiveness and not divisiveness. We've long suffered misrule and cannot afford to see you fail. Please apply a 'political solution' to this problem. Nowhistanding, all those who are responsible for the current spate of kidnappings must be brought to book.

As Iran gets bolder and all it’s mercenaries satellite arm aka the houthis and hamas and hezbollah succeed in overwhelming Israel and the American facilities in that region and end up turning the Red Sea to desolate ground thereby causing economic austerity in America and the west and the the west will have no choice but to physically step into the war with all their European Allies which would then trigger the Iran Allies china and Russia to start smelling blood and they would jump into the fray as china sees the opportunity to take Taiwan and North Korea sees the opportunity to kick out the USA from South Korea and Russia sees the opportunity to kick out the encroaching west into Finland and Ukraine and other neighboring countries. It’s like all at once these countries will smell blood and would all start swinging at once in February. When it is all said and done the west will be disintegrated into dust and Islamic militants from the Stan countries and Middle East would take over Europe and turn it to an Islamic territory. There would be mass japada of peoples back to their original countries. This February 2024 is about to be crazyyyyyyyyyy. The end of an era. A new world order. The end of western hegemony and the new power structure would be BRICS. Nigeria would have no choice but to eventually join BRICS

You're only just trying to share the burden of fear plaguing you with other unaware minds.

I know this feeling and it's not really good for you. As long as you've discovered God in your life, then there's no need to fear anything including the loss of your life whether by bullets, stabwounds or the gallows.

But I'll tell you a secret for free. The US is the last superpower on Earth. The day she goes down, she's taking the world with it.

Take this one for free too: Babylon is neither the US nor the Vatican. The world is Babylon.

Chummynoni:
I just hope you are not stylishly running from the insecurity bedevilling abuja?

Of course that's the real reason behind the relocation, however no point in putting everyone in panic mode as a result. Wise move though.

The "geographical area", as once referred to by a late elder statesman, Chief Awolowo and which later became known as Nigeria, has found herself in the midst of yet another round of perplexing situations that have perennially challenged her corporate existence. Created in 1969, Nigeria was seen and accepted as the giant of Africa, a country blessed and equipped to lead Africa in the international arena.

The country would go on to become a giant indeed and this was made possible because Nigeria, though independent, still had the British in control of her economy. Those days were the days the Naira equalled a Dollar.Nigeria alone contributed more than 70% of the funds that developed the rest of the west African countries through ECOWAS.

However, after the British withdrew or rather after they were through with Nigrria, The country began to deteriorate. The indigenous masters that replaced the colonial masters didn't know how to keep the country running effectively and that was the beginning of Nigeria's decline.

Nigeria was a dream and a good one at thatI but it was a dream that never came true, much to the disappointment of its very hard-working citizens.

At this point in the painful history of Nigeria, it's quite obvious that the country is in its final stage of demise. And it's a pity because we had everything we ever needed but we didn't make good use of it. Just like Adam and Eve had it all and threw it all away for far less, so Nigerians have thrown away a very golden opportunity to be the greatest country in the whole world.

I weep, yes, I weep for this country and its citizens, most of whom were and are meant to be enjoying the good of the land.

The only thing remaining now is for everyone to brace for the inevitable eventuality: the dissolution of the "geographical entity" called Nigeria.

Saturnalia:
No, it isn’t a win win for the West. If the Cowardly gang of 30+ Countries are not so scared of Iran, they should move their fleet towards the Strait of Hormuz and bomb Iran rather than flexing their muscles with defenseless Yemen’s Houthis.

Not that I give a fvck about what happens between the 2 warring blocs (Axis of Evil & Axis of Resistance) but I hate hypocrisy from people like you.

If any sensible person or entity wants to tackle a problem, you deal with the said problem from its roots, and not just by attacking its leaves or branches.

If the West is telling us that the Yemen’s Houthis are being propped & funded by Iran, why not concentrate your forces on Iran to eradicate the problem once & for all, rather than chasing shadows - bombing helpless civilians in Yemen?

Muammar Gaddafi did not do 15% of what Iran is “allegedly” doing before the gang of 30 Countries invaded & killed him.

Trump killed Qasem Soleimani in 2020 and dared the Iranians to respond to his cowardly crime at the Baghdad Airport which killed Soleimani.

Guess what? The Iranians called his bluff and responded with severity, raining down ballistic missiles on 2 of her bases in Iraq – and Trump went silent for HOURS, with not so much as a tweet.

The Mainstream Media went into overdrive and denied any casualties were recorded.

Alas, Attached is the result of Iran’s retaliatory attacks on 2 of Amerikas bases in Iraq.

Those who do not know Amerika’s penchant for BLATANT LIES & PROPAGANDA are the Secondary School Children on Nairaland always posting nonsense to garner “useless likes”

Even the Pentagon knows that the day Amerika and her cowardly gang of 30+ Countries (called NATO) attacks Iran is the day NY, WA, IL, CA, TX & VA will be leveled & turned into radioactive dusts, including all her vassal states in Europe.

As always, for countless Billions of Dollars, Amerika can only send her army against illiterate savages armed with coconuts.

You are the most deluded person on Nairaland. The satellites that see the whole of Iran are always orbiting up above Iran 247. The moment they attempt to try anything stupid, both Israel and the US will obliterate Iran from the surface of the Earth.

It's bad enough that a former minister is openly admitting to paying off ransom, but the C-in-C?? come on Bro, that would be the worst decision ever.

Yes, I know it's a very dicey situation and we all want the remaining siblings to be returned unharmed, but openly admitting to paying millions in ransom is not the way to go about it. It only further emboldens would be kidnappers

And you don't expect my other 10million naira not to do its work?

YoshihideSuga:
Did you offer the same solution when hundreds of people were butchered in Plateau and Benue states? Or are the lives of girls greater than the poor farmers in those states?

You miss the point entirely. The issue is not the insecurity per se but rather its usage by the North as their last stranglehold on Nigeria. Because as long as insecurity continues under any government, it means that government is not in total control of its sovereignty.

That's the game.

I've been reading comments and I'm yet to see a dscerning one.

This incident is a decoy hiding the killer blow and President Tinubu is the target here, the aim is simply to subvert the President's powers, to make him look weak especially with regards to the ongoing insecurity everywhere, particularly in the North.

If I were Asiwaju, I would ask Patanmi to return the money and then I'll pay the random from either my purse or the Federation account. I'll also make sure I provide further 10million to the Special squad that will liquidate the kidnappers.
