Chai! It is very unfortunate the new low we descended to. In a working society this one should be a cleaner.
Ofunaofu: Defence Minister Christopher Musa has urged Nigerian youths to take the lead in tackling insecurity, saying security agencies alone cannot solve the country’s challenges. Christopher Musa says Nigerian youths must play a leading role in tackling insecurity.
He stressed that security is a collective responsibility, not the duty of security agencies alone.
The minister urged youths to support security efforts through vigilance, innovation and community engagement.
Musa said empowering young people is key to addressing the root causes of insecurity.
The Minister of Defence, retired General Christopher Musa, has challenged Nigerian youths to take a leading role in the fight against insecurity, saying lasting peace and stability cannot be achieved by security agencies alone.
Musa made the call while addressing young Nigerians at a public event, where he stressed that the country’s youth population remains its greatest asset and must be actively involved in efforts to tackle security challenges affecting communities across the nation.
According to the minister, insecurity has continued to pose a major threat to national development, with issues such as banditry, kidnapping, terrorism and other criminal activities affecting lives and livelihoods in different parts of the country.
He said young people have a critical role to play because they are often closest to their communities and are well-positioned to identify suspicious activities and share useful information with relevant authorities.
Musa emphasised that security should not be viewed solely as the responsibility of the military, police and other security agencies, noting that every citizen has a role to play in protecting the country.
The defence minister urged youths to embrace patriotism, community service and civic responsibility, adding that greater collaboration between citizens and security agencies would help strengthen efforts to address security threats.
He also encouraged young Nigerians to use technology, innovation and social networks positively in supporting national security objectives rather than allowing such platforms to be exploited by criminals and those seeking to destabilise society.
According to him, meaningful youth engagement remains one of the most effective ways to address the root causes of insecurity, including unemployment, social exclusion and vulnerability to criminal recruitment.
Musa further stated that empowering young people through education, skills development and economic opportunities would help reduce crime and create a more stable society.
The minister reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to improving security across the country but stressed that government efforts alone would not be sufficient without the support and participation of citizens.
His comments come as Nigeria continues to battle various security challenges in several regions, prompting renewed discussions on the need for a whole-of-society approach to tackling insecurity.
The defence minister maintained that with the energy, creativity and numerical strength of Nigerian youths, the country possesses the human resources needed to overcome many of its security challenges if properly mobilised.
He therefore called on young Nigerians to rise above divisions and contribute actively to building safer communities and a more secure nation.
Then remove your uniforms and find a lorductuve work to do since the only one you claim to do is now officially above your capacity. Imagine gibberish.

Sccarrr: why e no dey happen to others like Atiku, Sowore... etc?
You know your answer. Atiku and sowore are inconsequential but you this Obi that won me in Lagos State and even won the whole electiom safe our fantastically corrupt system who helped to rig? No way.
Since you have decided to take orders from Iran let them teach you how best to serve their interests. Trump acting like he lost bearing. If you are lost take a cue from Israel.
Rapmoney: I mean, can you do this on your body to show how much you love someone in 2026? Knowing fully well that you are not even married to this person. Also knowing fully well how deceptive, wicked, and selfish many people are today in our society.
APC govt is doing everything to please their jihadist masters who has said the Western education is a haram. Attack schools and they shall begin closure of schools, after all western is haram.
gabbytabby: Serious states have Amotekun that are under their control while irresponsible Governors fold hands and wait for food is ready by pushing responsibility to others.
collins2good: Okay, noted . That means governors are as useless as only enriching there family
That is the real point if we don't want to be economical with the truth. Until the law makes it ossible fir governors to own and command their own armed forces.
TheMensch: Una don come to explain and defend rubbish. Why is demand for gas more than supply? Crude don finish abi they don bomb the refineries? Una just wan increase the price to gain more profit. Make una leave all these plenty talk.
Thanknyii for that clarity of mind. They thought everyone is dumb and blind.
Burob: Even those same false prophets apprehended in Anambra State by Governor Soludo are all in agreement of the same prophecy with bentacur007, that Gringory Obi is wasting his time.
Even us of secular orientation are even aware of that also, we don’t need any baal to reveal to us the obvious.
The obvious fall of your drug lord is nigh and assured. No matter what your opinion is. You guys are soo heartless. All lives lost under tinubu does not matter to you. Some of you are even supposed to be rated humans.
The governor has no command of any security. All security heads take orders from the president. So if the governor gives order and the person declines citing order from above, who is really the commander in chief?
gabbytabby: It’s a joint responsibility hence one is asking why states are collecting security votes in billions.
Security vote is controlled tactics introduced to have grilmof the state. Of what use is security vote when by the law the security apparatus is not under your control?
God1000: As a father if you have a child that misbehaves and brings problems to you all the time, it is your duty to correct and discipline the child, failure to do so will seriously hurt you someday.
Israel has been over pampered by US for decades, before now a mere criticism of Israel in US will cause you a lot if you are a public figure, but I'm happy things are now changing
If Donald trump of all people can be saying all these to Netanyahu, then his supporters here in Nigeria should just wake up
Trump is right, how can Israel face Iran alone, america provides everything they use in striking Iran, the bombs, the tanker refueling aircrafts, the fighter jets, missile defense systems, etc
Save you tears you may still need it later for Iran.
“Please, I have come to make some clarification. Today makes it 24 days that we have been in this place. Some press media outlets are complicating the issue by stating that the people who abducted us requested ₦1 billion ransom and demanded Sharia law across the country.

Hmmmmm a principal in captivity said that her abductors were peaceful to them and have not troubled themin any way but the same abductor beheaded one of the male captives.
Zionmdde: Only syncompants will be here singing praises of a road construction in which name the Government has taken trillions of naira in loan
Every market day they take loans in the name of these projects, no accountability whatsoever on how much the project was billed to cost, how much has been borrowed and what was done with the remaining loans
In Nigeria, accountability is forbidden, collect 3 billion in the name of a project, use 500million to do the project, use 3 million to erect a billboard to praise your extraordinary leadership
Politics is extremely lucrative in this side of the world
AlphaMale666: There is nothing a guy can tell me, once I see a guy I knew get married, were no longer friends! For a guy to marry, it just shows you're a woman wrapper, a simp, and will do anything for female validation. As a guy, you should be afraid of married men. They can even go as low as wash women pants for them. They're born fools! Absolute lowlife people! Slaves to society! I spit on all married men's graves! You're all disgrace to manhood!
And this even made a front page. Sincerely and most sincerely nairaland has become very useless
My wedding was scheduled for March this year, but everything changed after my fiancé's father passed away unexpectedly in November.
His funeral was held just three weeks later, in December. I genuinely wanted to attend, but there was one major problem: my employer had a strict policy against granting leave during the December holiday period. When I accepted the job, this condition was clearly stated. Despite explaining my situation and pleading for an exception, my request was denied.
I informed my fiancé immediately. At first, he appeared understanding. I even contributed financially to support the funeral arrangements.
Then his mother called.
She told me that if I truly wanted to become part of their family, I had to be physically present at her husband's funeral. I tried explaining my circumstances, but she ended the call before I could finish.
When I called my fiancé afterward, I expected him to stand by me. Instead, he asked:
"If it were your own father, wouldn't you find a way to attend?"
I explained that the situations were different because my employer might make an exception if it were my immediate family member.
That was when he dropped the bombshell:
"No presence. No wedding."
I thought grief was speaking. I thought time would calm him down.
I was wrong.
The wedding was officially cancelled.
My family tried everything to reconcile the situation, but his family refused every attempt. Eventually, my father advised me to accept the loss and move forward with my life.
It broke me, but I did.
Months passed.
Then, on May 20th, my ex-fiancé called me.
What he said left me speechless.
According to him, I had failed the test of being a good wife because I stopped trying to convince his family after the wedding was cancelled. He said a "real wife" would have kept begging until she was accepted.
Then he announced that he had "forgiven" me.
Not only that, he had already chosen a new wedding date in August and expected me to start preparing immediately.
As if the breakup had never happened.
As if my feelings didn't matter.
As if he alone had the authority to decide when a relationship ends—and when it resumes.
Without hesitation, I told him I was no longer interested.
His response shocked me even more.
He said:
"I'm not done. You don't have the right to be done."
I blocked his number immediately.
But that wasn't the end.
A few days later, he appeared at my father's house carrying the bride price and all the marriage items he had previously rejected.
My father told him clearly:
"My daughter has moved on. As far as this family is concerned, she is no longer available."
Still, he refused to accept it.
Since then, he and his mother have continued calling, visiting, and pressuring both me and my family despite my repeated refusal.
Now I'm beginning to wonder:
Is this really about love, or is there something deeper behind their sudden determination?
What troubles me most is the mindset that someone can cancel a wedding, disappear for months, return when it suits them, and expect another person to simply obey.
I am now considering legal action because the constant calls, visits, and refusal to respect my decision are becoming disturbing.
My question is:
If someone ends a relationship, then later decides to "forgive" you and resume the wedding without your consent, would you see that as love... or as a dangerous sense of entitlement?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
If he was your father would you have attended smdeaoits all odds? Here lies the moral justification or codemination anyone most suitable.
NDC may have stayed a hundred years. Anyways let me not do what they want. Not surprised that an APC member wrote this gibberish to whip up sentiments. But Nigerians are wiser now.
So why are you saying it now. You ought to do it and tell it is done. Not some political statement when your office is not a political office. Dollar ia still hanging there at ₦1365 and you are here making another empty promise.
WhiteIverson: Some teachers too do. Were you hired to teach or to barb hair?
There are Nigerians still stuck with the archaic mentality that keeping of hair signals irresponsibility and waywardness
Last time I checked the criminals who have been looting, oppressing, and running the country down since independence, don't keep hair. Neither do the corrupt civil servants, policemen, or armed forces.
A proper school should have a denominator, standard that defines every student of the school. It is not about the archaic mentality, it is about standard and decency.
A heated confrontation reportedly unfolded at a school after an angry mother stormed the premises to challenge a teacher accused of cutting part of her son's hair without her consent or any clear explanation.
The incident, which has sparked strong reactions online, drew the attention of parents, teachers, and bystanders as the mother demanded accountability over what she described as an unacceptable interference with her child's appearance.
The dramatic encounter has reignited debates about the limits of disciplinary authority in schools and the rights of parents in decisions affecting their children.
Schoola re the ones making these mistakes. Religiously include your disciplinary measures in a handbook and make it clear that parents who are not satisfied with it should not enrol. With this method irresponsible parents such as this one will pay damages for their ignorance and poor parenting.
You prophesied that he will be betrayed by his vice. You also said he is not yet mature for the political office he seeks. Is that one too part of the message you received or your own it is a personal question for the so called prophet. The so called prophet emptied everything and now there is nothing to keep people thinking about the so called prophesy.
