AAlozie: Don't just protest. They kill you, you kill them. They take one of your eye, you take both their eyes. Nonsense jihadists
What can you do when their weapons are more sophisticated than yours? What do you do, if what you can afford is a cutlass, while they have one of the latest automatic guns?
Government deliberate lack of action or inaction has everything to do with this continued bloodshed.
Boko Haram Kills Lieutenant-Colonel Mamudu In Borno and many more, even as Lai Mohammed passionately lies that "Boko haram has been technically defeated!"
fairfora: Who told you ex-presidents of the US have left the stage? Did you not hear that former presidents Bush and Obama visited Trump and corrected him on his style of leadership, warning him of the consequence(s) it could have on the citizens of the US and foreign relations?
That's how it's supposed to be. Someone needs to warn those in the saddle now and are now messing things up in their own time.
Ahmed0336: That is your problem and to those who look up to you as role model. As for me, if you like fly naked that would'nt add a kobo to ma 30 kobo akkant
Well said! No one gives a hoot, it's completely her business what sort of ignonimous things she chooses to do with her body. Such is no longer new. However wild she chooses to go, there are very many fellow actresses who maintained their ground on decency and still made it big in the industry. Can we imagine an Omotola or Chioma Chukwuka doing that kind of nonsense?
Unfortunately that is how concerned Nigerians view the opinions of people like you and your fellow supporters of the disgraceful performance that this government has to offer to Nigerians. It's never too much asking our leaders to quit chasing shadows and do the needful.
Bakare continues to prove he has an unbiased mind of him own, having one single objective of looking to see government perform. He must be commended for his courage to speak out warning a failing government to sit up and do their work. These party loyalists must realise that their wishy washy performance is totally unacceptable. Nigerians deserve better.
laudate: Can you imagine this gargantuan, irritating nonsense??! So because the owner of the cows is based in Zamfara, does that mean he is above the law, and cannot be summoned to answer questions in a police station or summoned by govt security agencies?
Wubbish! The case got to court, only for the judge to turn round and fine the naval officer 9 million, for insisting that the cows that ate his crops should be detained, until the owner coughed up the money to cover the damaged crops. Tomorrow, paid apologists of the Fulani herdsmen like PStacks will start defending their atrocious behaviour. mtcheew!
No surprises. People in government know exactly what to do to fish out the serial killer herdsmen, put an end to the bloodshed being carried out by them. They just don't want to do the needful for obvious reasons of bias and nepotism. Imagine the herdsmen being OPC or IPOB and then you will see government act and prevent such heinous crime much before it happens.
omartins: Here are 17 quotes from the statement issued by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday criticising the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari.
State Of The Nation “The lice of poor performance in government – poverty, insecurity, poor economic management, nepotism, gross dereliction of duty, condonation of misdeed – if not outright encouragement of it, lack of progress and hope for the future, lack of national cohesion and poor management of internal political dynamics and widening inequality – are very much with us today.”
“The situation that made Nigerians to vote massively to get my brother Jonathan off the horse is playing itself out again.”
Nigeria’s Role In Africa “For Africa to move forward, Nigeria must be one of the anchor countries, if not the leading anchor country. It means that Nigeria must be good at home to be good outside. No doubt, our situation in the last decade or so had shown that we are not good enough at home; hence we are invariably absent at the table that we should be abroad.”
Likely Consequence Of His Statement “I know that praise-singers and hired attackers may be raised up against me for verbal or even physical attack but if I can withstand undeserved imprisonment and was ready to shed my blood by standing for Nigeria, I will consider no sacrifice too great to make for the good of Nigeria at any time.”
Buhari’s Weakness “I knew President Buhari before he became President and said that he is weak in the knowledge and understanding of the economy but I thought that he could make use of good Nigerians in that area that could help.”
“I know his weakness in understanding and playing in the foreign affairs sector and again, there are many Nigerians that could be used in that area as well.”
Corruption Allegations Against Members Of Presidency “There were serious allegations of round-tripping against some inner caucus of the Presidency which would seem to have been condoned. I wonder if such actions do not amount to corruption and financial crime, then what is it? Culture of condonation and turning blind eye will cover up rather than clean up.”
Anti-Corruption Fight “I thought President Buhari would fight corruption and insurgency and he must be given some credit for his achievement so far in these two areas although it is not yet uhuru!”
Herdsmen-Farmers Crisis “The herdsmen/crop farmers issue is being wittingly or unwittingly allowed to turn sour and messy. It is no credit to the Federal Government that the herdsmen rampage continues with careless abandon and without finding an effective solution to it.”
“The issue of herdsmen/crop farmers dichotomy should not be left on the political platform of blame game; the Federal Government must take the lead in bringing about solution that protects life and properties of herdsmen and crop farmers alike and for them to live amicably in the same community.”
Governors’ Endorsement Of Buhari “It is a sad symptom of insensitivity and callousness that some Governors, a day after 73 victims were being buried in a mass grave in Benue State without condolence, were jubilantly endorsing President Buhari for a second term! The timing was most unfortunate.”
Three Areas He Feels Buhari Failed “One is nepotic deployment bordering on clannishness and inability to bring discipline to bear on errant members of his nepotic court. This has grave consequences on performance of his government to the detriment of the nation. It would appear that national interest was being sacrificed on the altar of nepotic interest.”
“The second is his poor understanding of the dynamics of internal politics. This has led to wittingly or unwittingly making the nation more divided and inequality has widened and become more pronounced. It also has effect on general national security.”
“The third is passing the buck. For instance, blaming the Governor of the Central Bank for devaluation of the naira by 70% or so and blaming past governments for it, is to say the least, not accepting one’s own responsibility. Let nobody deceive us, economy feeds on politics and because our politics is depressing, our economy is even more depressing today.”
The Case Of Maina “What does one make of a case like that of Maina: collusion, condonation, ineptitude, incompetence, dereliction of responsibility or kinship and friendship on the part of those who should have taken visible and deterrent disciplinary action? How many similar cases are buried, ignored or covered up and not yet in the glare of the media and the public?”
Buhari’s Health, Pushing His Luck “…Whatever may be the state of President Buhari’s health today, he should neither over-push his luck nor over-tax the patience and tolerance of Nigerians for him…”
A Dignified Exit From Power President Buhari needs a dignified and honourable dismount from the horse. He needs to have time to reflect, refurbish physically and recoup and after appropriate rest, once again, join the stock of Nigerian leaders whose experience, influence, wisdom and outreach can be deployed on the sideline for the good of the country. His place in history is already assured.
‘Wobbling’ APC And PDP “I have had occasion in the past to say that the two main political parties – APC and PDP – were wobbling. I must reiterate that nothing has happened to convince me otherwise. If anything, I am reinforced in my conviction.”
Déjà Vu I believe the situation we are in today is akin to what and where we were in at the beginning of this democratic dispensation in 1999. The nation was tottering. People became hopeless and saw no bright future in the horizon.
Verdict “Let the administration and its political party platform agree with the rest of us that what they have done and what they are capable of doing is not good enough for us. … To ask them to give more will be unrealistic and will only sentence Nigeria to a prison term of four years if not destroy it beyond the possibility of an early recovery and substantial growth.”
A Word For Citizens… “If leadership fails, citizens must not fail and there lies the beauty and importance of democracy. We are challenged by the current situation; we must neither adopt spirit of cowardice nor timidity let alone impotence.”
A Movement To Save The Day “We need a Coalition for Nigeria, CN. Such a Movement at this juncture needs not be a political party but one to which all well-meaning Nigerians can belong. That Movement must be a coalition for democracy, good governance, social and economic well-being and progress. Coalition to salvage and redeem our country. You can count me with such a Movement.”
Never been a fan of Obasanjo, and may never be. Yet, not throwing out the message along with the messenger, truth is written all over his letter, such straight up kind of unbiased verdict, opinion to expect from any sincere Nigerian devoid of sentiments who are fed up with the same old stories.
gaskiyamagana: Wailers and wailing continue till 2023.
Completely petty trying to reduce genuine expression of disatisafaction of concerned Nigerians to name calling and mud-slinging in the name of defending a failing govt, which will not hold water. Things already have gone beyond that, and all that matters is that apostles of powers that be urge them to man up and do justice to the nations resource at their disposal. The wishy washy performance of Buhari and co can never be mistaken for excellence.
Powers that be. always taking the people for granted, always refusing to get the job done, always hoping to get away with it, always promoting mediocrity as excellence.
To make such impact in the lives of the people isn't as impracticable as they like to paint it. They just do not have the intent in the first place, and always choose to put their personal interest first.
aolawale025: No one gave buhari a chance after three failures. Atiku has a bright chance. The tides have turned against the man in the villa. Even villa residents are now wailing
Atiku is a Bright Chance? Abi he is One Chance just like Bubu? Hmm!
Such a divisive and hate fueling topic that should have never been created in the first place. Nigerians had better been much more worried about the fate of the country as it stands at the moment with the powers that be showing no signs of hope, if they truely what hurts them most.
1nigeriamyfoot: no waste your time, report to his/her bank and get police report. If you are a baddass nigga, you can get your money or waste him provided that you have his name. Tracking his real identity is very simple, don't let one idiot scam you. This is 2018!
magzey: The resources wey ur uncle and aunty drank finished? This leader is a resource manager I guess u r thethe clueless human
I dare your "resource manager" to be up and doing, to catch and punish the serial murderers who have repeatedly been getting away with the blood of the innocent if he knows he has the capacity and willingness. Such recycled bogus claims, and speeches and fruitless investigations are utterly useless where definite actions and results and full force of the government are all that is required. I dare your "resource manager" to be up and doing.
erico2k2: And the president refuse to name them terorists
In naija anything goes. Provided none those of us contributing on the thread is affected I guess it is okay to regard as one of those usual news. That is how those who insist powers that be are up and doing want everyone to feel. I guess such much bloodshed should mean nothing to us anymore? We are not ashamed to prove there is something fundamentally wrong with the black man. And very many of us choose to think it is all about hate and partisanship. What a shame.
maxwell767: Benin republic will miss Glo... Because glo has offered so many benefits for them.. I remembered my years of living in cotonou... Glo has always been the cheapest both in browsing too. Followed by moov benin.
Then let them do the needful. It's up to the them, it's their call.
Angelanest: This is very sad. The death of a brave Nigerian soldier who was killed while serving his Father land - has left people in a mourning mood. The soldier identified as Captain Hassan was killed during a military operation against the Boko Haram insurgents in Bita Forest near Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State on Friday.
The soldier before his demise had been recognized by the Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima for his gallantry at the battlefield.
Wonder how it seems those Terrorists are never finished off. Year after year we still have their to deal with in a territory supposedly under our control and they never run out of funding nor support and ammo to continue their senseless agenda.
Very true. Such are the sacrifices. The people who enjoy the results of their hardwork may not even understand why it is important to help make it as convenient as possible for them to put in their best.
Oxalic: All these attacks are coming after leaders of herdsmen openly vowed to mobilize their members and resist Anti Open Grazing Bills in Benue and Taraba States. Yet, none of these leaders of the herdsmen has been arrested. What a country!
And the killers will never be caught nor punished. Government wants you to believe they are invisible. Nigerians have been so unfortunate with series of hypocrites and incapable hands running the country year after year. Worse still, large chunk of the masses remain gullible.
All in a bid to discredit Buhari, see what you've started. You'll surely get your reward.
The man is on the saddle,for a second time at that let him do the job if he actually knows how to. Rhetorics is not enough. He has the full security forces of the country with him. When such situations arise let him prove himself as being capable. Bloodletting can't be accepted as a norm, neither will lame excuses do.
And for you to regard this with so much unseriousness, you sure do need help and it will be no surprise to find out that forumites like you may well be amongst those shrewd characters behind this carnage.
