As a nominal Nigerian, know that you are helpless if bad actors strike, we are powerless against their actions. It is crucial to remain vigilant and prioritize personal safety, as support may not always be available in times of crisis.

This is madness

When will Tinibu declare a state of emergency on insecurity

When will he declare a state of emergency on hunger

On inflation

On the corruption

On the abuse of power and office

I shouldn't expect him to do any better when he ascended into power from the window of corruption

They have moved from ordinary civilians to military personnel. The see finish no be here. This is what having no consequences causes.
If they were prosecuting the ones they caught, and following it up with harsh sentences or execution maybe it will tackle this kidnapping issue.
