High level Inter ministry support and coordination is super important in this matter at national and state level

They should find a way to make it happen,and not put all the leadership in one room.that would be silly indeed

But a joint strategy is what we need, customs are already in the bushes,use them and protect them cos they know the nooks and cranies, engage those oversabi peace corp wanna be paramilitary,let's see if they are worth any weight in salt

Let everyone have clear roles and protect each other

Lastly private firms with satellite tech MUST be engaged,we have them here in Nigeria,use them

Invest in high level protective gear and night visions for every officer on the matter going to the field in ALL agencies.Bullet proof every security car,some nairalander was offering some cheap service on that,it's better than nothing. Don't send people out with cars that have no protection

All states and the national level should do these amongst others

helinues:
Northerners are the one supposed to be having this kind of meeting but they are still jonzing

They don't care

Brillant move by the president

If they like they should not pass the right security bills.everyone is in it together now

lezz:
It's a wasted effort. We of the South South also believe it is an exercise in futility. The Yorubas will betray the entire south again and again because she enjoys and prefere the prevent political structure where it eats from the left over from the parasitic drawback North.

The South West will ensure Lagos remains the only functional
international port in Nigeria.

The South West will also make sure herdmen's threat looms and never challenges the Northern excesses.

The lost goes on .

As at this time only the South west has a regional security network that has achieved a lot of results.Those in the South west know of those results.

Now is the time to support them.Better not be a cog in the wheel of progress and allow the whole south strengthen its regional security with that model,so the blood of those who died don't cry on your head join.

For the record,the last time the South west met like that amotekun happened in the region backed by law

The whole south needs to adopt that template as a region asap and strengthen it

We don't need stone throwing critics now,only constructive feedback

1.The South should build a system that can respond simultaneously to any threat in the region within an hr. The US can respond anywhere in the world within 6hrs. This will need air travel and drones

2. Strengthen a first responders network in communities and provide them with top tier protective technology and back up don't just send them out with jazz

3. Create a regional fund for security and must have for every lga . Check and check that all lgas have those items, eg armored protective cars etc. ensure this in a short time.... these protective cars worked in lagos at one time.the responders had confidence to engage and they were set at strategic points all over the city so if you escape 1. You meet others ahead

4. Establish early warning systems on our roads, bill boards that show red,danger ahead...or systems that enable anonymous reporting of movement of terrorists in the bushes or the road,don't make people go to the police to report these.no one will

The last time some people did so in plateau jos,the bandits went back to the area ,killed them and cut their tongues

5. Have CSO and members from communities or religious bodies involved in the system that records crises calls and track that every call is addresses, if we see the percentage not responded to ,we know who is not working

6. This is the most important part.justice must be served. The military era stopped all this nonsense by swift justice. Any robbery that involved guns had everyone that participated summarily sentenced.how do we let these people go scot free.
I commend rescuing the kwara cac people with no casualty

But now take the battle to the gates of the enemy

Just a quick reminder that this will not stop till the terrorists are responded to. This same thing happened in Israel when they went in and raided a village,they didn't wait for other incidences to pick them up.

Every known terrorist and terrorist a better should have their faces and crimes known to all long before they are caught. They should not become a wadume that could live like a king in the community from proceeds of terrorism their crimes if publicized will hopefully have the community shun them

Kudos for these first steps by the southern Governor,let's see how long it takes to set up

Bulldozer90:
Wearing asoebi in a national security emergency

The symbolism is apparently lost on you. It means unanimity of purpose. It's not only done for parties.

As for those who may be sponsoring or pushing these because of elections and power

How does the pain of 3 and 4 year olds in captivity give you joy for cheap political points?

EVERYONE! EVERY person in Nigeria must play their part for their release. And those bandits that did this particular one MUST be brought to justice

FOMWAN and NASFAT shame on all of you.... Your outrage ought to be the loudest

How are you quiet at this time? And all these years? Are you not mothers? Do these bandits that kidnap nursery school children not do it in the name of your religion... They have been kidnapping other people kids and yours ,and you have been quiet

I have never heard any condemnation from the women of these groups

How are you all not ashamed enough to speak out,to speak to your members to speak to their sons?

frog12:
what about the boko haram sponsorers or the bandits?
those ones are killing with impunity and they receive rehab and forgiveness

Those of you supporting the kanu do not fear God or have respect for humanity

You all should do better

Lives were lost ,lots of lives at his urging.and you all exonerate him? You all should fear God

And why is the state not on lockdown or emergency mode?

So they kidnapped primary school students?

Northerners and northern muslims we are watching your response and how you talk to each other

If there are mothers that have humanity in those places you cannot keep quiet at this time

I have always wondered why they did not have a psych evaluation for the Mazi

Anyone trained will see clearly that he displayed many traits that could qualify him for macnougthy and I'm strongly for how people learn from mistakes

1. Get any psych expert to evaluate his speeches,mannerisms ,etc look out for tell tale signs like tics,uncontrolled outbursts, God complex, delusions loss of inhibition and many more amongst others and truly they should all say what they actually see with details

2. How did everyone including South easterners allow such go on for such a long time leading to loss of lives and properties and eventually his incarceration

3. He was someone that should have received the help he needed a long time before now,and in that his society failed him and all those that died as a result of others following his words

4. That has been the learning here... And it calls for sober reflection from all

No we don't ,let us not try to rewrite history so it doesn't happen again

Remembering how she usurped authority that was not hers to run a sham investigation that has no legitimacy, it culminated in tears and the famous phrase there is God O!

That was the ultimate outcome of her investigation -words on marble and a clog in the wheel at best

Do you all even know the meaning of a golden hrs in search and rescue That was the opportunity to set precedence and presence was set..... It was a joke at best

Where there other ways first ladies could have used their influence more effectively? Yes

Was it used as such? No

This is why ALL the terrorists and their sponsors must be caught this time and parraded.

This is exactly why

Trying to use terrorism to raise funds from the terrorized communities for the purpose of terrorizing then some more

now that global eyes are on Nigeria,the call should remain the same.the terrorists (not bandits) should be caught ,with their identity and their sponsors made known to all

After that justice be served

Talking again about ongoing operations,did they not learn from sowere and the brigadier general situation?

BeardedMeat:
In that case, let's hit the streets to get maximum attention, otherwise the matter would end here like all others.

What has the streets got to do with anything.

Those who have work don't hit the streets.

They look for other ways to solve societal problems, speaking out is one of such ways.Evil thrives when good men stay silent

We need the president to be decisive on this matter.

The real perpetuators and their sponsors must be brought to justice.This must never be the new normal we owe future generations that much.

I remember Obama's speech at the Boston marathon bombing

Paraphrased he said... I have placed a command center here to find the perpetuators, have no doubt we will find them and bring them to justice

I wondered then how,the person has probably left town. And there was practically no clue.

But within days they combed every video feed,including those on personal phones of the day and the days before,they locked an entire city when they had to, they caught the culprits

Those were people determined to fish them out.

I have always wondered if it that Nigeria does not want to fish out these perpetuators in the north? How far do we actually try to go to ensure they get them?

How can been depressed be the speech at this time? But then the true question is did he really say so

BeardedMeat:
Why are you exonerating the one, an insider of course, who gave the Intel? Was Sahara Reporters at the war front with them?

This particular post is about sowore let's stick to that part of the topic first,the rest is an addendum

We must do so ,so we all learn from it and so that it does not happen ever again

Call a spade a spade so everyone learns from it in future

Sowore messed up on that matter,what did he have to gain publishing that news

Would it have endangered the generals life? Yes. Did it endanger the generals life? Yes. Would it have killed sowore if he kept mute till he was found ? No

Sowore messed up. National security should not be entertainment. Peoples lives should not be bandied for cheap publicity.

Don't we have a law to that effect? If we don't we need one.

The whole thing thrives on secrecy. for the whole 15 to 20 years of this scourge not one financier known to all has been named, no public known person prosecuted? Only their lesser known minions and errand boys....

How do you say justice is served for babies murdered with matchetes in their sleep? For people who lost all their family members? For lots of students killed in the night in their dorm?

How do you all enable evil by been complicit? By hiding the identity of evil doers and their enablers?

What kind of nation is that?

Name them and shame them.let society treat them as paraiah... Let their children disown them and their associates too. That's how society is built,that's how you call out evil for what it is and say no,not on our shift

thats how you refuse to be complicent

There's criminal negligence somewhere in the picture

Laws exist to serve as a detergent to such actions in future

This is not time for super story.its time for a detailed investigation and public reports identifying the culprits

It is not okay at all that school children go through this harrowing experience repeatedly because some people always get away with their actions that make it possible. It's not okay at all

Who and what allowed this to happen that's the first question.

these guys should give us a list of new taxes they want to introduce and how much,

are they removing 50 naira and still collecting their 10% on all ROI? suggesting that useless policy nearly crashed our stock exchange recently... what exactly are they concluding by January 2025 so everyone knows where they fall

That said that 50 million limit for entering the tax bracket for accounts is still low,nigerians on 500k a month with 4 kids are still struggling. Between house rent,school fees, cost of feeding,transport and clothes,which are the basics those families are barely coping? so how do insist on taxing them insanely when you dont pay their ... school fees i, school buss i, school meals , no subsidy on fuel, security, water etc...etc.

So what exactly is the benefits of the tax for that family,they still pay for all these?

Tax high income earners above 150 million a year, they may be able to afford that tax, not the struglling nigerians

and by now everyone should be clear on what taxation really means for the average nigerian

Kingchuksero:
What do you mean? Do you know how much was budgeted in this Eike's administration. No FCT minister have seen the kind of budget Wike got. Formally all FCT minister have been under Aso Rock.

Fact still remains WIKE negotiated for it with performance and projects,they did not just hand it ove rlike that.It shows he was foreward thinking and refused to be a stooge or puppet

Just what the FCT needed I hear

And the Yerima matter sef,it was his zeal for his duties, so lets not call white black, WIKE has been the BESTEST for Nigerias FCT according to the FCT people and anybody that visits regularly will see the difference. I still get lost routinely everytime im there from new roads that he completed, roads that they say have been approved and funded since time immemorial,

those famous uncompleted projects in Nigeria is not a problem under him.

People should leave WIKE and the FCT abeg,Nigeria needs him right there

Wike remains the best of them all

Military should please swing in action and rescue them

It is not impossible, no child deserves to be lost for choosing to go to school

This must not be allowed to happen

Children should not be targets of war or civil strife,this is not right in anyway,everyone EVERYONE should condem this. How do we allow this happen to children in our time and anyone who can do something does nothing?

This is also a good time to remind airlines how to handle incidences such as this,we all remember the conduct of ibom Airs unprofessional cabin crew members

These ones appear to have followed due process

This is how to address this

Way to go

They should ensure the write caveats are in place and leverage best practices from other developed nations

That said Wike is the best Minister the FCT has ever had .Fact.

An atrocity, the type that leaders and citizens should not be silent about

That is not normal and should not be accepted as norm

Banditry has to end,citizens should not ever have to go through that experience.What has been done about it

Evil thrives when good men stay silent

Wike was the wrong one here

I must state that Wike is a great man,no doubt. He was doing his rightful duties inspecting that asset. He was wrong when he tried to enforce anything there. That was outside his jurisdiction

Enforcement belongs to the jurisdiction of enforcement officers

Also why trade words and insult an officer on duty? He should simply have escalated the matter officially,that was where he got it wrong. Get the comading officers name his barracks and the source of his others and address it

That said,the officer should be admired for standing his ground,and bearing himself well.

Our elected executive arm of Government are obviously missing a key training on procedures,wike should have known he cannot turn down a military order by himself.

"I am on orders,I am an officer of the armed forces you cannot talk to me like that"....military should give the guy a raise.

They should explain how they took a profitable chi and made it a loosing bussiness


Let's be sure it's not another tax evasion strategy.ussually Nigerians don't care, but we should start taking these things serious
