₦airaland Forum

Good afternoon Naira Landers.

So I saw a thread earlier on the Nigerian Navy advocating a "Berlin Wall" to stem insecurity in the country and I thought it wise to create a thread telling solutions, , not re-echoing the problems.

For me, security is wholistic. The moment we get governance right, the insecurity problems will abate. With the high rate of unemployment, we shouldn't expect a crime free country.

Nigeria probably has one of the highest number of out of school children. Education serves as a light. The millions of illiterates in certain parts of the country serve ready tools for terrorism.

I am of the opinion that Nigeria has amongst the worst security personnel in the world. No ethics, no love for the job, no depth, nothing! Many are there just for their belly. So you find especially police officers who get it right with their belly, but never with the job. For me, recruits into the Nigeria Police and every other security agency should have no less than an O.N.D. However, who am I to complain when the constitution allows persons with far less run for the highest offices in land?

I continue to wonder how we intend fighting insecurity without ICT and the right security tools. Show me a country without proper data base for its citizens and immigrants, show me a country lacking in the use of security cameras, and I will show you Nigeria not ready to fight insecurity.

Lastly, I think; I may be wrong, but I think there is so much anger in the land. Nigerians should be allowed to vent. Bottling it all up and acting things are alright is all wrong. Government should set up a truth and reconciliation commission to hear Nigerians. Hear the poor almajiri up North, he has a story, listen to him. To the struggling man on the streets in the East who feels alienated from the system, listen to him; he has a story. We must shun sycophancy and stomach the hard truths if we will make progress.

Please do share your thoughts on how we can help fight insecurity, you never know who in government can pick a thing or two from your advice. Thank you.

Buhari should drop the idea, it is not popular down south here. These and many more are the reasons we keep calling for true federalism down south. Weaken the centre, so they don't use federal might to subjugate the will of any one region in favour of another.

Aboki like cow and hate beer. Southerners hate cows, but love beer; why not let every man decide his fate.

Tinubuadvocate:
I'm urging the leadership of national assembly to speed up this request so live can more bearable for the masses. God bless president Buhari.

So life is unbearable now. The truth about suffering and smiling is gradually coming out.

blackpanda:
Is Lagos the only state in the south? What of Oyo, osun, imo, enugu, abia etc. What did they generate You guys always reason everything based on tribalism. There are only 5syates actually contributing to vat. 2 of them are in the north.

Then all states should sit up. I don’t think that is a bad call.

Ibkhaleel01:
You know this VAT thing is like a basta*d child confidently demanding for DNA test in protest against sharing the inheritance with another child he or she considers to be undeserving.
If every State stands alone, you will realise that your bragging is on thin air. We have clearly seen that Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, Kano lead the pack.
If we carry out a simple VAT fertility you will see that your State is VAT impotent....and your much touted beer VAT are blank shots.
Na just gum body dey make una think say your state dey fertile.

I ask again, why cry more than the bereaved? Kano and Kaduna generate more VAT, they should instead support the call. We down south that generates less VAT, we aren’t complaining, why complain for us?

Ibkhaleel01:
Sadly, the citizens of these states have their brains & minds so wickedly twisted by the ethno-religious hate opium they are doped daily & can no more comprehend who their enemies are.
A pathetic shame indeed!!

The person you quoted made sense of the issues, but you rather want to blackmail “citizens of these states.” Why not allow states test their viability? Not all states in SE and SW can generate what Lagos, Rivers is generating, but they are not complaining, how come only Northerners are complaining?

Ibkhaleel01:
When you see the Southern governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists, freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets & their hate doped retards on social media especially those from the Niger Delta talk about restructuring & resource control, you will think they genuinely love Nigeria & their region.
Sure No!
What they want is more money, more power & more control over the money without no one querying them.
Those governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that swallowed the 6 trillion naira in NDDC over the past 18 years meant to develop the Niger Delta in addition to squandering trillions of naira & billions of dollars that accrued to Niger Delta from federal statutory allocations, 13% derivation funds, ecological funds, Ministry of Niger Delta funds, taxes, royalties rents etc with only poverty, deprivation & backwardness to show for it every 4 years are the same governors, politicians, elders, elites, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that will manage a restructured Niger Delta controlling all the resources there.
If they truly want restructuring, they would have welcomed & implemented by now Buhari's executive orders granting financial autonomy to local governments, state houses of assembly & state judiciaries instead of rejecting it & going to court to challenge the orders.
Those that are fighting for restructuring don't want independent local governments, state houses of assemby & state judiciaries because these are arms & organs of government, that if truly independent, will effectively check the excesses of the state governors & those embezzling the resources of the states in the region.
Those governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that want resource control are not ready to invest the billions of naira & dollars they stole from Nigeria & Niger Delta in prospecting for oil & building the massive oil infrastructures required to explore, manage, store & transport crude oil & gas.
That's why at the expiration of the oil leases held by some Nigerians & foreign companies, Buhari refused to renew them but rather passed the opportunity to own them to states so that they can control the resources & use the huge profits to better the lot of citizens of their states.
Many states in the Niger Delta & their governors, politicians, elites, elders, cashivists, freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets rejected the opportunity because it involves huge investments & rather opted to sell this opportunity of thier states owning these oil blocks to private individuals & firms for immediate cash from 10% commisions, kickbacks & convenient taxes.
They don't want the restructuring & resources control that will give the states more responsibilities, that will benefit their people or promote transparency, growth & development in their region. What they want is the restructuring that will give them more powers, more control & more money to squander.
That's why they talk about devolution of powers to states that will allow the governors absolute powers to make decisions on a lot more wide range of portfolios presently under the purview of the federal government.
That's why they are appropriating to themselves through their zombified state assemblies the powers to collect all taxes in their states including VAT.
That's why they are rejecting financial autonomy to local governments, state assemblies & state judiciary so that they can have the additional local government billions of naira to squander, pass any selfish law they want & obtain any court order they want against their opponents while eliminating scrutiny from the same institutions constitutionally empowered to query & sanction them.
That's why they are bent on having state police to intimidate, brutalize & put away any opponent or dissenting voice.
Sadly, the citizens of these states have their brains & minds so wickedly twisted by the ethno-religious hate opium they are doped daily & can no more comprehend who their enemies are.
A pathetic shame indeed!!

But why cry more than the bereaved? Allow the southerners deal with their issues. Stop robbing Peter to pay Paul.

DonroxyII:
spit on your Governors, Senators, Honourables, Chairman, Councillors and your Obas .......

The whole Nigeria is down and Nigerians are responsible for that including stupid you .... who after all the grammars, coward you can wrestle power from Aboki .......

Come 2023, Aboki will still placate your people with puffpuff and customised rice gbam .... they will vote their destiny away for the 4years till 2027 ......

Those are the human capital you are talking about ..... Aboki came down south and owned all the Oil blocs .... and mumu you still blowing English on Nairaland .......

Thunder fire your papa left nyansh ..... olori pelebe

I see say sense you no get, hence you can't stay on the subject of discourse. I am not concerned with whether na your papa be president. Anyone can stumble on political power. This thread questions North's human capital development. Una no dey go school, na only cow una dey follow, that's why you de behave like cow.

How can of 10 leading students mentioned in JAMB, I dare say of 600 top students, one aboki no dey. Na Nigeria you wan start and end? What happens when you go outside the shores, how well can you compete Mr. Local champion?

We come south come collect una oil bloc, yen yen yen... Political power and so what? Which region is still most poor, we feed the rest of Nigeria and you lots still eat grass?

Tueh...I spit on you and political leaders in the North, South, East and West; but na una leader head I spit on top pass cause as bad as leaders down south are, our people are at the forefront of economic, social and cultural development.

Tueh I spit again. Cow!

https://www.nairaland.com/6736466/killings-major-humanitarian-crisis-looms.

Read up that thread before quoting me out of your gutter. I ready for you, cow!

DonroxyII:
U be mumu .... despite all your English and Grammar .... Na aboki still dey rule you now Check Southern Nigeria ....

Which State is developed ..... Road, Water, School, Hospital, Women .....

Aboki is not your problem..... your are mentally down .....

See aboki see cow. We are talking human capital and you are here dragging who is ruling who? If only you can brag that since aboki started ruling, Nigeria became an el dorado. Unfortunately you lots who unfortunately stumbled on power have dragged naija so back that everyone wants out of the contraption. First go teach your kids to sit in class rooms before you come here to brag how illiterate donkeys lead a pack of intellectuals (of course an unfortunate aberration).
Clown! You rule a people that thrive on global stage, yet back home you the ruler can only think of cows. I spit on you.

DonroxyII:
How many Aboki do you see on Social Media shutdafvck ..... keep being a social media rat's while herdsmen are doing their things with little ranting .....

Nigerian security architecture is in a difficult time from North to South and you keep shouting Aboki, Aboki everywhere

Who dey give una phone to type nonsense? How did the rubbish you typed rebut my earlier argument? I ask again what percentage of aboki is proving themselves at the global stage? Are you guys not local champions who stumbled on power and for donkey years now is suffer human resource deficit? Gerat oga.

DonroxyII:
Aswear .... Southern Kids celebrating Book .... I'm a Book Worm myself but give it to the North ..... He who has large arsenal won !

Which dirty arsenal? Mai ins take dey deceive unaselves and you are no where to be found on the world stage. Local champions that stumbled upon power and since then think that’s all there is to life, yet with all the “arsenal” your kids still have to go around with sticks, bows and arrows in this 21st century. Talk about massaging one’s ego. Aboki shift.

ThatFairGuy1:
Saudi Arabia your brethren doctors run to because of good life operates full shariah

That is only because Nigeria is a more useless “sharia country” now. If there’s an opportunity for them to choose between the U.S, U.K and Saudi Arabia, which one your sense tell you say dem go pick?

Lovenorth:
Hisbah is right, we Muslim have respect for our leaders, when they make mistake we communicate to them not in public and they are always correcting their errors unlike one useless people that derive joy in insulting their leader.

Hahaha. We see how Buhari has corrected himself. Cow!
Other sensible Muslims have come out to criticise this unreasonable position, but you sha must defend rubbish meanwhile deep down you know say na rubbish you talk.

ILoveDemMANNA:
See 2 hypocrites posting.
Just the way it was flying during d time of the looters you are supporting, that looted down flat Nigeria airways, when ur ffk was the minister of aviation.
Hypocrites

We thought Mr. Integrity came to change all that? Oh he didn't? Tell us again who the real liar/hypocrite is.

amc:
The average Nigerian doesn’t own a car, so we have been subsidising the rich at the expense of the poor who are denied well needed investment in things like education, healthcare and infrastructure.

It will be hard in the short term but the populace would start to see the many benefits in the medium to long term. We are wasting too much scare resources for on this subsidy and there is too much corruption involved with smuggling of our PMS to neighbouring countries where PMS is sold at higher prices.

Na so una take say very soon things go take shape when Buhari took over, it's now six years down the road and things are only getting worse.

IPIGSRSHALLOW:
No it's more like a sin for an OSU IPIG terrorist xtain monkey to have any semblance of common sense.

Go tell that to Book-haram. Cow!

ThatFairGuy1:
Note this, not everyone hate Buhari. He might have his flaws when it comes to nepotism and flared up insecurity but History will remember Buhari for good in every other aspect of governance.

What other aspect? Economy? With the rising inflation, you know how expensive things are in the market? Or is it the currency that has lost much of its value in the last couple of years under him? Or is it the increased debt burden on Nigerians?
Tell me again what the first duty of government is to it's citizens? If the president failed in that regard, why will he be missed? Nigeria was more United before Buhari, how has nepotism helped "one Nigeria?"

Buckeyemedia1:
A group calling for secession, referendum, separation should be proscribed & thrown in prison, the way we do it in the People’s Republic of China. Grand Treason.

Minions as yourself called GEJ a dictator during the "Enough is Enough" protests, but suddenly developed leprosed fingers since Buhari started misbehaving.

You keep exposing your foolery for all to see. Is China a known democracy as Nigeria? While you find it convenient to compare Nigeria to China in shutting out dissenting voices, how about you compare both countries in terms of improving the living standards of their citizens, providing basic infrastructure? How about you tell us whether the Chinese president travel to the U.K for medical tourism?

mu2sa2:
Sadly, that's the truth and nothing but the truth. Fulani never forgive. The family members of each of the victims will consider it a bouden duty to avenge the death of their loved ones on irigwe people. The deaths will definitely be avenged by any means, even if it takes generations to be accomplished, especially given that these victims are completely innocent and had nothing to do with the earlier killing of the six irigwe. Sad, sad, sad. The Fulani already have a well-coordinated militia to summon into action.

Nah...there's no militia anywhere. The fulanis have gotten away with their crimes thus far because of government support and the one north narrative which is gradually fading off the consciousness of most Northerners, especially those of the Middle Belt.

What's the population of fulanis compared to persons of the South that have grown serious hate for the fulanis? Best believe Southerners in government/politics have observed and learnt Buhari's obnoxious style of leadership (shielding his tribesmen), and once Buhari is out, other tribes will deal fulanis same blow, using same fist used by the fulanis and those in leadership from the South will be expected to shield their own.

sammirano:
Who cares. You people should learn the chinese ways. Suffer today, enjoy tomorrow.

Hahaha. Good thing you acknowledge Nigerians are suffering.

So in the last 5years we have been suffering a sinking currency, inflation, rising insecurity, hunger, poverty, rise in price of petrol while they keep removing subsidy every year. So are these part of the suffering before enjoyment also?

nwakibie3:
You are senseless

No he (splitmind) is mad. In essence he is saying the Igbo boy should engage in "suffering and smiling."

Interesting essay.

CrossRiverian:
Eyaaa sorry about that.
Efik dialect is one of the sweetest of very few. You really miss.

My dear, ku tang. I made efforts to try to learn, if not Efik, atleast Ibibio as my mother is from Eket in Ikot Udoma.
I moved to Akwa-Ibom, Ikot Ekpene precisely, spent six months but still couldn't. Anyway it was tough for me then as I was a young lawyer just called to the Nigerian bar. Hunger touch me ehn. No me my clear eye I take jakpa come back Benin.

CrossRiverian:
Lol.
Negative, am not a lawyer. Edieke edide eyen Efik, enem mi esit ndifiok nte'afo edi eyen ekami.

Eka, you lost me there. I was actually born and raised in Benin-City. Unfortunately, I wasn't taught the language. I ended up not learning my dialect, or even learning how to speak Bini. Na pidgin English popular here.

My biggest regret till date is not knowing how to speak my dialect. I however try to identify with my tribesmen anywhere I find them.

I am a lawyer, and you sounded like one in your earliest post, hence I asked.

CrossRiverian:
Yea dear thanks.
When reading with open mind, exigencies matters!

I'm Efik too. From Ikot-Ansa. Are you a lawyer? E get why I ask.

CrossRiverian:
Jesus Christ is Lord!

"But when we did not agree on how to do it, she said I should leave her house. I actually left but missed my way and strayed back to the house.

“But by this time, they had locked the gate, so I jumped into the compound through the fence and entered their room.

'She said you should leave her house', yet you went back to murder her and her son. This is intentional and the word of his mouth has convicted him already. The needful should be done ASAP!!
I don't know what investigations police want to conclude again.

Mesiere my sister. You easily pointed out the "mental element" of the offence needed to nail him.
You actually pay attention to detail.

ddippset:
that means that other presidents before him had sinister moves for not restructuring.

By the way you cannot excuse a governor who is blaming the president at day and embeżzling security votes at night because there is no restructuring.

There is so much security votes can achieve.

Past presidents ofcourse had selfish reasons for not restructuring, but APC's hypocrisy is on a level not seen cause they campaigned using restructuring; can't think of another party that did.
I have addressed your second point on governor's stealing security votes. Nigerians will always steal unless you put in place a system to address that. To stop governor's from stealing security votes; devolve powers appropriately as seen in other federal States. That way no excuse!

NwaEzefuNaMba:
I am not talking about the factuality of Kukah claims here (can't remember mentioning him in my comment)
But unlike Ortom, Kukah is not a politician (at least not recognized as a card carrying member of any political party) if Ortom wish to become an activist, he should resign his position as the Governor; he is worst than the man he is criticizing.

Una funny o. So once a person becomes a politician or in government, he becomes a zombie; closes his eyes to wanton killings? Little wonder Nigeria is a shithole.

[quote author= post=104070252]May God punish all the sponsors of herdsmen and Boko Haram and the politicians that brought them upon our nation to cause mayhem.
May the people that support and sponsor them all die painfully, and may they suffer so much pains as long as they live on earth before dying in shame.

If you are not one of the people supporting the evil sponsors of these herdsmen,
kindly say A BIG AMEN To these little prayers.

God pass dem.
They will all end miserably in life.

Especially all the terrorist organizations (Boko Haram and ipobs terrorist groups) killing our military personnel.
Evil, sorrow, tears and blood shall be their end at the end of it all.

Peace shall reign in our nation.

We answered that before and we will answer that again.
A big amen to that!

GOD BLESS [b]NIGERIA. [/quote]But you lots criticized same Jonathan. How come Buhari is following in his stead?

ddippset:
so has his continous nagging changed anything?

Ortom should use his security vote to do his best in security and develope his state.

Restructure the damn country if you want governors to be held accountable. The system is laced with corruption, and governors will corruptly enrich themselves with security votes, excusing themselves with not being in charge of security apparatus. You easily can end the excuse and make them more accountable to their people by restructuring the country, but the president for other sinister motive will always shy away from this truth.

NwaEzefuNaMba:
Ortom is not as loud as Fayose neither is he as tough as Wike, he is just being unnecessarily lousy.

If you have been opportuned to come close to Buhari, you will know he doesn't give a fvck about these men.

That Buhari doesn't give a hoot about the truth isn't a reason the truth should not be told. Where is the lie in Kukah's criticism of Buhari's poor handling of security and nepotism?
