waldigit:
So with all your intelligence the call for secession is all because crime was being committed by a section of the country? Chai! Now I know better the complexity of the country's problem.

Idadurun:
You're right my dear. Do you know that most of the criminals unleashing these evil act on indigenes and non-indigenes are locals from Ohorho and Agadama villages. Some notorious youths even dress like the fulani herdsmen, join them to attack/kill innocent indigenes, kidnap for ransom, harassing and extorting motorists operating Bomadi route, etc. I think those Ohorho boys around the Bomadi junction are informers. They monitor activities of individuals and give information to their collaborators in the bush. They should be arrested.

This kidnap of a thing always has police collaboration in it. The situation in Edo and other south south regions is even worse. The day kidnappers would be having a field day, you'd not see a single police on the road. Thieves would be robbing at a close range and the police would look the other way at their checkpoint. Things cannot continue this way. That's why I'm in support of the interim government as proposed by Pa Afe Babalola, former AG of the federation. We can't say someone like him proposing such a great move either has a pecuniary motive or doesn't mean well for Nigeria. He's lived his life to the fullest, only awaiting glorious call. Nobody can also say such a legal luminary doesn't know or think before putting forward such a proposal. He's one of the few nationalists we have around. Things have become awry in every sector, not only in defence. Any politicians who oppose this move is either an enemy of state or a greedy fellow. No security, no jobs, no meaningful life, no education, no electricity, no infrastructure, nothing. I wonder why they're still in government.

With the interim government any politicians found culpable in these mess would not be under any shield or immunity. Our constitution would need to be amended to address all the agitations and perceived inequalities in the country. Boko haram who said western education has failed them, they need to ask them questions and put things right. Everyone needs a good life. Anyone who has seen where boko haram had been killed would know they're not looking good. They fight with their blood for a government style which they believe would give them a good life.

2023 elections isn't what we need right now. If buhari, a war general and former head of state could fail this woefully, if pdp couid not bring any meaningful development to the doorsteps of Nigerians since 1999, If the preceding military era couldn't fare better which led to agitation for democracy, then constitution amendment is inevitable to address several areas, except we want to keep deceiving ourselves and if we want tovremain as a united Nigeria

ricoenoro:
This has been happening

My inlaw was kidnapped 2020

First set of people that called were southerners

Last set (before he was killed) Northerners.

buckeyemedia:
Mumu you did not mention Ifeanyi Okowa, it is President Buhari alone?

When police (which I know you have family members) stop motorists on the road to collect bribe, we should blame the President in Abuja?

What of the indigenous vigilantes that comb their local forests?

You people will continue to suffer in that country because of your hypocrisy & wickedness, I am sure this Sunday morning, you & the kidnappers have entered church to continue deceiving yourselves?

There is a popular saying in My village

Nah witch wey Dey house dey give permission for witch wey Dey outside to come in and kill

You passed almost 10 police check post

Don’t be surprised that they are in on it too

BUhari is quiet his body gestures suggest he is in too

Eriokanmi:
The situation of the country wasn't this bad during that era to warrant an ING, if you were quite aware and grown up to know of what happened during OBJ time. The only issues faced that time was that of political sharia. Economy was ok and you could tell from exchange rate. No insecurity but Niger delta agitations which was later taken care of.

Onyiiobi7735:
So Southerners have finally joined Northern bandits in wholesome kidnapping business. OK oo!

Deadlytruth:
Isn't it surprising that you who are known for advocacy of good leadership qualities which proactiveness is one of such are the very one exonerating Afe Babalola and Obasanjo with the argument that the situation back then was just limited to Sharia as if the bloody Sharia riots back then weren't enough signal for any proactive and visionary government to have seen that it could only worsen if no constitutional ammendments were made towards decentralization of the internal security architecture? And mind you that your theory that only sharia disturbances were the challenge then is very wrong because it was in the news then that as far back as 2002, the Russian Government alerted Obasanjo that a very potentially deadly Islamic sect was brewing somewhere along the Bauchi-Maiduguri Expressway and winning proselytes with its Jihadist message and that it was just a question of time for them to start acquiring fire arms to put into reality their Jihadist ideology. Obasanjo was aware of this but didn't lift a finger. Even the Sharia you want to use as excuse, what did Obasanjo do about it other than say casually that it would die a natural death just because he was in pursuit of political capital towards his 2003 second term bid? Didn't Obasanjo later grant to Channels TV an interview in which he admitted with his own mouth that Boko Haram was linked to the sudden agitation for sharia and came into existence during his administration but that he purposely chose to ignore them completely in pursuit of
political gains?
See it below:

https://www.channelstv.com/tag/chief-olusegun-obasanjo/page/3/

Note where the report reads:


General Obasanjo further noted, “Boko Haram have been in existence for years…they didn’t disturb my government because when I was in government I did not disturb their Sharia.” He declared, “Sharia is part of our constitution.


So how come you are denying on behalf of Obasanjo what he himself admitted and even trying to disconnect the sudden Sharia agitation from Boko Haram in defense of the Obasanjo who himself connected them together in his argument?
Some of you love political correctness too much and that is the real cause of our woes as a country.

jrusky:
Thank God you survived it and thank God you have exposed our fello Southerner who are cursed by heaven collabo with Turji boys from Fiuta Jalon hell to be kidnapping, torture and killing their fellow Southern brethren

But pls let's cut this straight kindly tell us "who are those Southerner bro"? You are a Southerner yourself if a Yoruba man speak you should know, if Igbo man speak no matter what you should know, if Warri or SS man speak you should know pls who are they and what part of South are they from?

Eriokanmi:
I agree with you. (My response was straightforward to address the issued previously raised)... most of the problem we have today weren't there when Afe Babalola was AG which was the truth and that wasn't tantamount to me praising Obasanjo. If you read my earlier post, you'd have seen where I said the PDP couldn't address insecurity since 1999, same as in the military era where the same obj was head of state, which is why constitutional amendment is inevitable and without excusing this gang of politicians by allowing the interim government take over, I don't see that happening. You could see the way the NA dribbled Nigerians in the recent amazement.

Obj's government might not be the best but all the vices we have today were either not there or not so serious. Its getting worse bro. I remember Obj killing the boko haram leader that time and they gave him breathing space, only for them to reinforce and come back in full force after he left.

kafeii123:
Please accept my condolences over the loss of your in-law. Do also extend same to your partner (wife/husband). We've been saying it that evil knows no tribe. Those who suffer from the money embezzler's crime also include individuals from his own region. MAY GOD HELP US IN THIS NATION.

I barely escaped this kidnapper's on the 18th of April, 2022.
I was on my way to Lokoja from Anyigba where the state university is situated, just before Ochadamu junction, a gang of about 8 jumped out of the bush and started shooting. I was fortunate that 2 cars were ahead of me. Another set of about 3 came out of the bush just ahead of me but behind the second car, this one's had cutlasses, I quickly engaged the break and brought the car to an abrupt stop. The kidnapper's focused on the first car which gave me time to reverse to a safe distance and turn for the next village.
They operated freely for about 1hr 45 minutes before soldiers came to clear the road.
The kidnapper's had indigenes and fulani members.
I am truly grateful to God for saving me and my family.
I was informed that one of them was arrested. Look at the wicked fool.

Mokason288:
Let me educate you why

Fulani Herdsmen can’t go around kidnaping Deltans any more , not on Gov Okowa’s watch

[s]So the bastard’s hide in the deepest part of the forest and use locals for monetary gain [/s]

Deadlytruth:
Afe Babalola was Obasanjo's legal adviser and lawyer throughout his tenure in which he (Obasanjo) resisted and frustrated all calls for a Sovereign National Conference with the objective of drawing up a genuinely we-the-people constitution marked with decentralization and state police to replace this current one which was a product of the military establishment of which Obasanjo was an integral part.
Pray tell me why Afe Babalola couldn't give him this same advice for which you have just soaked him in all the eulogies in the whole world if he was truly not merely after pecuniary interest as you would have us believe?

RussellRutherfo:
Is it not time that like some American States. We allow people citizens the right to bear arms because as it stands. The security forces can't protect us.

If more people have guns and these kidnappers strike and people engage them. They will know it is not easy and as such there will be less of their attacks knowing at least 80% of the time. People will engage them most of the time.

Skyview01:
You should know during Obasanjo time, The country was not worse like this. I am sure you are not comparing Obasanjo to this clueless and evil administration.

UCHIHAmask:
That is truly the only way but I see it as almost impossible because of the fact that the current system (2/3 majority of legislative) has to accept it..
Every single possible cure has to be implemented by the same system of government we are against,now would they ever agree to something that doesn't favour them?
I can't think of a way aside that,only,maybe if the youths take it by force and our tribal difference would not allow our youths unite in a single front...
I see no way,that is why I feel disintegration is better than the current irredeemable Nigeria,each separate states would lack many disunity caused by tribalism or religion and form system of government similar to the one that would be attained if Nigeria's constitution is amended as that guy proposed,e.g state policing,break of immunity etc.. if by chance the separated states becomes corrupt it would be easy for it's people to rise up against it,just like the yorubas did against awolowo who they love when he made a move against akintola..
I expect Nigerian youths to clamour strongly for a change to constitution but no one is,then I have to follow disintegration..
