What Is The Cause Of Insecurity In Nigeria? by DenreleDave(op): 8:09am On Jan 15, 2024
Fellow Nigerians, it saddens me to hear how bandits are kidnapping people in the north, east, west, only south south (Niger delta) is free from kidnapping issues.

My question is; could hardship be the reason for banditry and kidnapping?

If Yes, does it mean there were no kidnapping issues when our government was doing fairly better than now?

Please let's discuss without insults...

What could be the cause of these issues and what solution do you think can be proffered.

No matter the hunger in the jungle, the lion cannot eat grass!

The more the poverty creation by APC, the more the insecurity!

APC has ruined Nigeria

Yes, hardship and poverty are major cause of all challenges we are facing today in Nigeria.

When there is too much hunger in the land, people became too desperate and will do anything to survive.

Meanwhile, our government are using severe hunger to put us in check for their own every 4 years ambition.

We Nigerians must not gree for them again.

As much as apc has done so many damages to this nation, does it mean there were no insecurity and kidnapping during pdp regime?


Pls this is no attack or defence of any party... Just discuss freely
Re: What Is The Cause Of Insecurity In Nigeria? by DMerciful(m): 8:26am On Jan 15, 2024
There will always be insecurity however it was minimal during PDP years.

Major insecurity started with Bokoharam/ chibok girls kidnapping and these were politically motivated by the North to kick out GEJ but unfortunately, it went out of control!

The hardship made it worse but that is what metamorphosed into this.

Oga correct your write up, the region with the lowest rate of kidnappings is the southeast, the Niger Delta is even worse than the south east, If you need the raw data I can forward it to you..

Baba did not give Shettima security structure of the nation to handle. He unleashed insecurity to shake Abuja.

Incompetent Politicians - Tinubu is capable of reducing insecurity in Nigeria. If he want to he will do it.

People like buhari can only reinforce insecurity because he has no idea what been secure mean. A privileged bush man

Where, you guys are the ones always trying to paint the south east in that light, the statistics is here, that is the link to the thread, do the calculations and see for yourself, the south east has the lowest record in the ehole of Nigeria...

You people just love to see the southeast in a terrible state, reason why you ignore the damage in other regions and focus on the south east....

Re: What Is The Cause Of Insecurity In Nigeria? by ambale(m): 4:28pm On Jan 15, 2024
In my own opinion, several things that bring insecurity

1. Poor Parenting: while some of us were growing up, our parents were mini Lord, there are stuffs you couldn't even man up to own until you leave their house but these days a 10-year-old is already dreaming of becoming a big boy that drives the biggest cars

2. Societal pressure: There is massive pressure from the society, we only regard people with money even if they are less intelligent or educated, we just want to make money but we don't know how to, so many persons move into various crimes to fund this lifestyle

3. Government laxity: Our government are always reactive, relaxed and ignore signs of wrongdoing, instead they would rather enrich themselves to stupor while their people are being enmeshed in untold poverty. There are too many militia groups in the country and these groups have varying weapons, so when they are hungry they just bring out some of them and hit the street. This is just a few of it sha

The solution to all these lies in the problem though
Re: What Is The Cause Of Insecurity In Nigeria? by nairalanda1(m): 4:29pm On Jan 15, 2024
Nigeria has a large poor underclass, a tiny middle-class and a scanty upper class.

It is also an economy that is dependent on one source of income

This combine to prevent massive investment in jobs.

Result; a large number of ldle hands for the devil to use
