Living in Nigeria is living in hostile environment.

Solving our problems is a joint effort. There should be no FINGER POINTING. That's my grouse against Prophet Mrs. Otobo and father Mathew Kukah to a lesser extent.

Divisive comments, opinions and ill motivated attempts at wise cracks at the expense of the state makes the problems fester and is therefore irresponsible.

All men of goodwill who knows that if we destroy this country and turn it another Somalia or Afghanistan, generations to come will never forgive us.

Did you lots say all these when Jonathan was in power? Under Jonathan, insecurity wasn't like this bad, we never heard apart from Chibok, schools being sacked by bandits, people weren't eating grasses, debt was far lower than what we have now, standard of living was by far better than what we have now; but una gree leave Jona for waist?

Police brutality happens everwhere,
If NK had been democratic, some people won't waste their lives, if this innocent guy had died, his blood will be on NK's head.

The police will carry out their rightful duties and as humans they will make some mistakes, NK is making them make more and more mistakes and he will die a painful death like Shekau for deceiving and sending energetic youths to their graves

Police will use you for such mistake and your family will be told it's a human mistake.

Pathokpo:
He thought he is still in Nigeria where he can do whatever he likes with minors with impunity. I can confidently say that he is going for a very long one.
Deport the idiot back home to face bubus next level as punishment.

Bros why una wan use laugh tear my belle. Which one be Bibi's next level of punishment?

LeeTaurus05:
I respect this guy so much. But, this is a disappointment, to be hearing this from him. Are, you aware thousands of your supporter are die-hard fans of Buhari. Don't get it twisted. Na wa ooo, how many bill did his uncle (dancing senator) sponsor, when he had the opportunity to be Red chamber. Though, "uneasy lays the head that wears the crown", so, we must surely come Buhari's name. Even, if someone fail as a man under his own roof, is Buhari.

Perhaps, Mr. David Adeleke, you are entitle to your own opinion. Don't use any foul words to the people supporting Buhari. That is very very wrong of you. If this same man (Buhari) invite you to Aso Villa tomorrow, will you decline his visitation. Oga, stop patronizing us. Keep on giving me the rythem and melodies sound. I be your Fan.

Oga Davido never forced you to be his fan. He is first a Nigerian before a musician and has right to ventilate. He goes to same market with us, buys "fuel" from same fast station as us, buys rice as the rest of us; lives in same Nigeria with one eye open at night cause of insecurity. So with all of these you want him to pretend like it isn't happening because he wants a handful of Buhari's supporters to patronize him?

Trustedpronet:
Lol. He is not a saint.

And he had the guts to demonise Jonathan's government?

APC media turned him a saint misleading dozens in 2015. Funny truth is, especially down South APC members in their closets criticize the president. Then tire for the guy. Afterall all of us dey buy fuel for same filling station, we go to the same market. They too are feeling the heat.

Trustedpronet:
That is why I said he is not a saint. Your 5 points are valid but can not be substantiated...because he delegated people to act in those positions.

Reason I don't debate with some of you. From the days of John the Baptist, Buhari has never taken responsibility for his actions; you guys like looking for who to blame, meanwhile Obama says the bulk stops at the table of the president.

When Buhari went abroad to demarket Nigerian youths calling them "lazy," did he delegate that part to someone? Is it a "delegated president" that keeps going abroad for medical tourism when Nigerian doctors are on strike? I tell you, the job of defending Buhari is really a tough one. Una dey try.

Trustedpronet:
I was born and raised in this country. Out of 41years I only spent two years outside Nigeria. What I'm saying is that if We need a better Nigeria all hands had to be on deck for it to be achieved.

All the looting under past government was it done under Buhari? I'm sure the governor from your state is not Buhari, the traditional rulers in your state is not Buhari, Literally almost every institutions in this country are corrupt.

Even with the introduction of single treasury account things are even worst. The kind of financial security in Nigeria is higher than that of Germany and yet they are honest in their dealings.

I'm not saying Buhari is a saint but we need to do more as a people than always blaming government while we are nothing different in our private lives.

My brother leave matter for Matthias. When the head is bad, what do you expect of the whole body? Prior to 2015, Buhari had the higher moral ground, speaking on corruption and many Nigerians caught the vibe. 6 years down the road and the man has lost every respect he had that he rarely even talk on corruption. Why?

1. A man that came hard against medical tourism is now the chief medical tourist.
2. Ganduje caught red handed in public theft was endorsed by same Buhari. Please desist from blaming citizens over the issue of corruption. Have you gone to query the man that rode on the back of anti-corruption war to power?
3. A man who said there was no subsidy, suddenly saw the need to remove the non-existent subsidy.
4. A man that led subsidy protest suddenly saw protests as war against the government, engaging in the killing of many innocent protesters.
5. Buhari against every ounce of sound reasoning decided to grant amnesty to terrorist who have been engaged in the killing of many.

Tell me from the above 5, which do you blame the citizen for again?

Trustedpronet:
I just laugh when people attribute the challenges in Nigeria to Buhari. Sincerely Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria and not Buhari.

I have some Ghanian partners...they are humble and honest. I have been placing order from them without any record of fraud.

The numbers of Criminals in Nigeria is alarming. Mention it; Civil servants, public servants, artisans, traders, polictians and even religion leaders.

If we don't change our attitude by upholding interity...no president can fix this country.

He knew he couldn't fix Nigeria's problems, why did he run for the office in the first place chanting how he'll fight corruption?
Buhari literally worsened the situation.

Subsidybad21:
Yes, and like most Nigerians at the time, they did not understand how subsidies worked.

(Plus they hurt themselves indirectly. If subsidy had gone in 2012, by now, we would have been reaping the benefits, and assuming they were in power now...they would be claiming the praise for the initiative).

Politics is a dirty game. PDP was for subsidy removal in 2012, now they oppose it.

APC never knew how subsidy worked? How you guys come up with excuses for this government beats me. It's appalling to say the least that a major opposition working to take over government know little about government they are coming to take over. Biden hit the ground running before he took reins of office. Buhari took more than six months to appoint ministers. Question is, what were they coming to do? All these years you never did underground study of governance problems and how to tackle it? It's sad you guys come to defend these people. Well we all dey the Nigeria together.

For PDP, it is not an opposition to subsidy, it is asking the right questions, why have we not diversified these 6years? Why are our refineries not working? I thought you said there was no subsidy, what are you now subsidizing? Is it wrong to ask the right questions?

We no de cry O, na make we see money jakpa leave the country for you and Buhari.

Subsidybad21:
Simple. The value of the naira has fallen since Jonah's time when crude cost 100 dollars per barrel so not enough dollars to raise the value of the naira due to fall in crude prices since 2014( we had it as low as 30 dollars in 2016)

Also the revenue available now to subside fuel is less rhan it was under Jonah's time again due to low oil prices. We are making at least 40 dollars less per barrel of crude compared to 2012. Laat year it was as high as 80 dollars less per barrel.In 2016 it was 100 dollars less per barrel.

And even then in 2012 Jona wanted to remove subsidy completely because even at that high oil price it was no longer sustainable. Nigerians said no then.

Buhari and Tinubu were at the forefront of the crusade against subsidy removal. They never played a decent opposition. Let's be guided.

Never a fan of Buhari, but I want to see the younger generation take charge. Please for sanity sake, give Kingsley Moghalu, Akinwunmi Adesina, Iweala a chance at being president.

It's insane seeing people from the 80s still running things, and please don't bring in Trump or Biden being young argument. The people that made radical changes in America didn't come in old. Trump, Biden came to meet a working system. Here Buhari no Sabi where Twitter de for en phone.

What is left?

Right

Kingdemu:
I have just woken up to the tragic news of the killing of my secondary school classmate Jamilu Tanko Ibrahim. He was a trailer driver who, until his untimely death, had been transporting goods from North to South especially to Lagos. He was lynched and left to roast in his trailer that was set ablaze by rampaging youths who attacked Shasha Market. His charred body was retrieved yesternight. The problem with this kind of crisis is as long as you are from northern Nigeria, you are Hausa or Fulani. You are a target even if you are a Christian. A Christian from Michika local government area of Adamawa state was hacked to death in Osun when Sunday Ighoro's crusade gathered pace few weeks ago.

Targeting innocent people who left their comfort zones to cater for their families is an invitation to anarchy. I am sure a vast majority of Igbo and Yoruba are peace loving people for their millions of their fellow relatives in northern Nigeria who are doing well in business and civil service. But the way Nnamdi Kanu and Ighoro are playing to people's sentiments and going extra miles as to incite their unruly youths into attacking innocent people, killing and maiming on the pretext of warding off the Fulani invasion of their land, mark my words, Arewa is a dangerous place for retaliation, and I only hope peace will reign.

You should know by now that many non-northerners have left the north. It isn't how things used to be in the 70s. North is now unattractive to many. Borno, Katsina, Adamawa are now all deserted. Which Igbo man wan stay Borno? But you see South, na everyday una people dey enter truck come. Casualties here if Southerners decide to go bizarre, no go be here o. Northerners are gone lose more and in the event of a breakup, it will only be granting the long wish of the Igbos.

One of those cows can buy 200 ipob members, na today cows begin move around abuja city centre

You see how foolish you are. I try to refrain from insulting people, but won't allow this comment pass. How can you place the life of an animal ahead of human?

If the value of your cow is worth the life of an average fulani(it is anyway as you guys sleep in bushes with the animals and even communicate with them), it doesn't for us down South.

blackboy:
This news has been around Abuja since about 3 weeks now. Wetin be all this long story. Yusuf or Tunde his name is called wont be the first nor the last.
The chap will be enjoying correct NIA salary post 2023 .
Abeg make they remember me too.
This is how Nigeria works. Let's stop being hypocrites.

Remind me who advocated to "change" how Nigeria works.

Indeed Igbos/Yorubas have more in common than they think.
Since 2015, the Igbos have dragged Yorubas for their role in enthroning this government, but till now, not one person's blood has been spilled over the issues arising therefrom. Just 2weeks of banters with Fulanis, see how lives and properties are being lost.

If only we knew what a united South could achieve.

Basher8583:
It's good to know that not only are you one, you also know how to spell it excellently. Well done

Oleee!!! (You will probably also teach me how to spell that too. Lol)

Basher or what ever your name is, since as an aboki, you've been tutored on how to spell thief, now repeat after me, "Ganduje is a thief, however Hisbah can't go after him, but will rather cut off Basher's hand when Basher steals."

Ensure you repeat that melu melu.

Basher8583:
NO. It has been traumatic for thives like you. More to come. And don't think it's going to be over after 2023. You go run las las. No more free money. Enemy of the state

Who be this one again? Learn to spell "thieves" first before rushing out to say Buratai, Akpabio, Ganduje never stole.

Basher8583:

Who be this one again? Learn to spell "thieves" first before rushing out to say Buratai, Akpabio, Grass-cutter, Lai Mohammed and others who served under this administration, including Buhari himself is not a thief.

Just sad what the country has turned into since the current administration. Next time we'll be careful of "change."

Eriokanmi:
Good. All I see is a group of civilised people in Nigeria. I wish the south east leaders good luck on their lackadaisical attitude towards tackling insecurity , always speaking from both sides of their mouth. These fulanis have an agenda and they're not hiding it. Only fools would think they're doing legitimate business here. We've had herders for centuries in the south and they've been peaceful...and we still have them around. If you ask those peaceful herders what's happening in the country today, I wouldn't be surprised if they tell you they aren't aware. Those carrying gun who call themselves herders are on a mission. The earlier the south east leaders rise to defend their people, the better. The rate at which they rape their women is alarming, after killing their husbands.

Before you talk about Igbos lackadaisical attitude as you want us to believe, my question is which class of persons voted in the fulani leader that has turned Nigeria into a fulani caliphate?

jaxxy:
If u don’t negotiate with them what do u do?? U can’t risk attacking them with many innocent people they can use as human shields meaning there might be casualties . Then on the other hand the opposition is playing politics and putting pressure on the government to bring them back immediately like its magic

Reason people should be careful what they do cause karma is real. When Jonathan was there, then opposition government didn't make things easy for Jonathan; they as such have no moral right to cry fowl when paid in same coin.

Omoslim26:
I cant throw fingers on any group bcus over time we have seen people from different sect carry out crime

I have always said our common enemy be you from the North or South is the FG and the evil system it operates

If only we can see dat we are in a mess together and behave like civilized people by not allowing cheap tribal bigotry flow we can find a way to curb this problem and demand that dis demonic system we are operating be restructured

but come 2023 dem go still share #5000 for some people to silence their destiny for another 4yrs

My brother, people are not killed in their hundreds in Southern Nigeria. Violent crimes in Northern Nigeria is reason the West blacklisted Nigeria for acts of terrorism. Call out the North for the rubbish they are causing Nigeria and stop being vague with your statements.

And yes, on the issue of government's failure, we can all agree on that.

Arrewa:
When a herdsmen commit any crime... You'll stereotype the whole Fulanis.

But when your brothers down east commit crimes... You'll all pretend as if nothing happen.

I didn't see you on this thread today.

You'll not comment here cos it didn't happen in zamfara village.

https://www.nairaland.com/6306342/panic-gunmen-kill-siblings-imo#96918767

Fulanis are blessed!!

We have criminals among us doesn't give any brainless goat the right to stereotype the whole Fulanis.

We are great people... The most influential black people in the world.

Every ethnic group has its fair share of bigots, and so does every religion has its extremists. The danger is adopting these irrational or agenda-driven members as the voices of the entire group. Doing so makes you exactly what you seek to fight.

The jallohs are God's own people!! We always win!!

Winning is our culture!!

Foo.l, how come the only crimes you know to commit are violent crimes, killing helpless old men, women and children.

Princedapace:
Calm down, they are doing same to other regions. The fulanis are the most powerful ethnic group and even minority.

A group of Southerners made them that powerful by reinforcing their grip on power.

Omoslim26:
The killers are criminals
the Common enemy are the people who have failed to upgrade the sec system to be able to envelop operations of this criminals

What happens when these criminals appear to be from an ethnic group with same modus operandi and methodology. What happens when under the umbrella of Miyetti Allah, these people issue threats and government keeps quiet, but is quick to attack ENDSARS and IPOB members who appear far less a violent threat?

As for the "common criminal," hope you understand you just indicted Buhari, cause he is the one that has failed to upgrade the security architecture.
