Many more like him should be sought for. The process of systematically cleansing our leadership of misfits should begin by electing individuals with clear records of success in leadership. While we, the youth develop ourselves to take over.
Jashub: I worry for those of us living up north. Even without the threat of reprisal attacks, life in northern Nigeria for a non-indigene can be hell on a normal day.
Are you in the NorthEast?
Apart from the NorthEast and locations which experience frequent attacks from fulani herdsmen or bandits, the problems are pretty much the same in all parts of the country.
IF any form of regionalism is achieved, Edo would either be part of its (Old) Western region from which Mid-Western region was carved out in 1963 or would be part of a neo-region comprising present-day 'South-south' States.
Despite the terribly high level of insecurity, no bomb blast within any city center (apart from the North-East) has been recorded in the last 6 years. How come?
Everyone wanted a positive change, but when Goodluck was 'voted out' all of a sudden Nigerians were spared of random bomb blasts. Meanwhile, Boko Haram has hoisted flags in various Northern States, incursing towards the center and modus operandi did not involve bombing civilians at bus parks.
If elections hold in 2023, I beg Nigerians especially the youth to use their brains, no other person or nation will help you make basic, fundamental decisions for yourselves. You too can be leaders in any capacity to move this Country forward. You don't need to support criminals senselessly!
A Country where professionals from all works of life from 3rd world countries (and notably Nigeria) take refuge and offer their skills, talents. Economic boom and prosperity is the expected outcome.
NiggaAreaBDamnd: Same administration that told people to give their lands up to be spared. Femi Adesina said donating land is better than being killed lol.
Remember that this land belong to indigenous Nigerians but for them to be alive, they need to give it up and let Fulanis take over.
The danger with that is that in 30 years, your kids will not have a place to call home because they will be hunted down by the same Fulanis and religiously, they will begin to slam their heads on the ground.
These Fulanis don't have a Country of their own! You can imagine! They want to terrorize Nigerians and dominate over 500 indigenous tribes! Nigerians should wake up for their own good!
fitzmayowa: So because he refused to accept Ruga the punishment is the destruction of lives and properties right I wonder how these set of clueless people ever made it to power....
real777: Too many children on this forum despite the claims that most of you are graduates.
This is not just threat to the Igbos alone but the whole of Nigeria....if you know your community is having issues recently with the fulani terrorists herdsmen, get ready for ethnic cleansing in that community shortly. The way Nigeria is heading if not checked now Rwanda genocide go be joke. We must all join forces together to wipe these animals forever from the South lest our future children will be forever conquered. https://www.nairaland.com/6528842/war-starts-internet-airport-food#101211834
I think those miscreants you're referring to are just paid agents. There are quite a number of them on this forum. That is the effect of extreme poverty - no iota of humanity or reasoning anymore. I doubt they would be able to let go of the 30k monthly stipend even if their family members are maimed.
Meanwhile the useless DSS would quickly run after anyone who criticizes the inept government on security.
The Miyeti Allah should calm down. No one has Monopoly of violence. They go on a killing spree, the repercussion in every other part of the Country would be catastrophic for them and anyone sent/ordered to aid them. And if this government intends to supervise killings by the herdsmen, the Country should be ready for immediate disintegration and every region would have full responsibility of protecting it's territories and citizens.
sarrki: If I may ask , is it same Fulani killing in IMO?
All the atrocities are not by Fulani alone
Nigerians are naturally mean to one another
Reactions to killer herdsmen activities was just a natural response in most parts of the Country to the government's complacent attitude towards killer herdsmen activities.
As for the 'UGM', you can't say for now.
With the paucity of ingenuity as one of the core attributes of this government, the most recent events in the SE strongly points to one of their over-used modus operandi - create chaos, use it as an inexcusable reason to go after 'unwanted elements'.
BigBashiru: they dont repeat the same mistake - here is wat they do: 1. Identify the wrongest candidate and vote massively for the person - they are already massively in support of tinubu just the same way the were massively in support of buhari. 2. Vote that person into office. 3. Complain about the person they voted for 4 years. 4. Repeat.
Its either chronic psychosis or a curse.
To be fair, the elections are not even free and fair to begin with. These same incompetent folks would be ready to do anything to rig elections. The integrity of the umpire, INEC is also questionable.
What can help this Country is total change from the present system.
Sonoyom: Under Buhari freedom of speech is non-existent, security is a long forgotten issue, job creation is a taboo. What we have right now is Nepotism, borrowing, sycophancy, and ethnic superioty. Buhari has lifted his family and cronies out of poverty and they have been transformed into billionaires, people who usually begged for transport from Daura to Kaduna are now billionaires all thanks to our darling insensitive President.
Officialgarri: Someone please turn on the AC. The heat is much.
Everyone with his own views and style. And here comes El-rufai with his own view and widely condemned by "dissenting " views. Until one gets in that shoe, you might never really know where and how it hurts.
Nevertheless, I still believe El-rufai is one man with a strong heart. Typical of what real leaders should be.
I'll be forced to share with you what happened this morning while on transit with my friend
I nearly killed him;
So my friend—a staunch anti-Buhari/APC — argued with me why the government would even consider negotiating with terrorists.
I asked if he had learnt of the death of some students and I repeated same thing El-rufai had said to Jonathan about employing all tactics to set hostage free.
He still argued.
So I saw a 911 truck , and since i was driving, I thought of maneuvering and ramming into it.
I could get another car, but what if I lose my legs?
However, we must learn to reason with people's views. My friends argument is that, paying ransom is tantamount to arming them. Even if the bandits set these ones free, they would have gotten more resources to hold another set of people hostage.
In all, we must agree that Leadership and decision making isn't as easy as we think and we can't please everyone
So you had a thought of ramming into a 911 truck because someone in the car had opposing views.
To get it clearly, the mob wanted to mete out jungle justice on the suspected kidnappers and subsequently killed one of them, while the other escaped with injuries.
Oga, forget about Twitter. Innocent citizens (including students) are slaughtered in various parts of the Country daily. From the North to the South and the security chiefs seem clueless.
Nigeria could be having the highest daily death rate in the world right now!
