The one who defended himself in one northern state and eventually killed his attacker, was he not given death sentence?
undecided
Always finding excuses to do nothing.

But it's only in a FAILED STATE where citizens are meant to defend themselves against criminals.
Why don't Danjuma accept the reality of Nigeria as a failed state? A failed state is dissolved so that the nationalities in it form their own sovereign countries.

People of the old Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Sudan, Ethiopia, gave up their failed states and allowed the different nationalities holed up in the failed countries to form new sovereign countries. What is wrong with Nigerians?

A FAILED STATE is a failed state. No amount of cash from crude oil can make a failed state survive.

Then President Muhammadu Buhari govt disarmed Nigerians. How will citizens defend themselves now? What efforts did TY Danjuma make to stop Buhari's govt from disarming rest of Nigeria?

While this is a good call, I think bulk of the problem is with the authorities that go about disarming people thus making them soft targets for fulani terrorists. The average fulani is a coward and will flee at the smallest resistance.

The Agatu people of Benue state defeated the fulanis during GEJ time. But the army came in and forcefully disarmed them, killing those that refused to submit their arms on PMB's order. After the army successfully disarmed the Agatus, the fulani returned back to kill and destroy.

Same thing happened to the Tivs when Gana, a Tiv warrior who waged war against the fulanis was killed by the army some years back on Buhari's order. We all know how hard the army went on ESN, thus leaving the Enugu people vulnerable to fulani terrorists.
With your analysis, who do you think are behind or fueling the Fulani crisis?

These is a pure jihadic war against the Christians ✝️ and minorities in the north.
The grave silence 🔕 of the northern elites after hundreds were killed in plateau(bokkos,barkin ladi and bassa) and benue state until after almost a week after the incident before they issued a press release, is a pointer to the fact that there's something fishy!
They northern Islamic elites/pressure groups are enjoying some of the things going on,if not, they could have called the herders to order or create a law to stop open grazing in their states and also create a law criminalising bearing of small arms.
Stop spreading nonsense, people killed in zamfara, borno and katsina are also Christians or minorities yeah?
I can see the failed Nigerian system has instigated you.

State police is the answer to this insecurity
..the solution is for the government to address poverty, hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living, high rate of unemployment for they say an idle mind is the devil's workshop and insecurity kidnapping banditry will reduce and stop gradually

The big question is why does the authority always dis-arm locals carrying den guns to defend themselves, but allow marauding fulani terrorists to roam about with AK47??
The government are complicit in all of this, they can lie to those who want to listen to them but not to me.
Re: Rise Up, defend yourselves, Government cannot protect everyone - Danjuma (vid) by ufotunang: 11:11pm On Apr 20, 2025
When the incompetent Tinubu promised to protect lives and properties..but he is at France enjoying and do not care what the killings and insecurity
It's a pity

They should stop labelling them herdsmen, they are terrorists

Good back and read what I wrote slowly, then you will understand.
Anyways, what I wrote is beyond your understanding 😌 so I don't expect you to comprehend.
What stopped the northern states from banning open grazing and keying into racing to avert all the nonsense going on?
What stopped the northern states from criminalising bearing of light and heavy weapons if they really want to end insecurity in the region.
Why is it that they northern Islamic elites hardly condemn the killing of Christians in the middle belt 🤔 until there's a very heavy outcry in the media space before they later issues statement to condemn such tragedy 😢?

In the 60s and 70s, when this man had Nigeria’s military and defense apparatus in his iron grip, he wasn't serving the nation — he was Obsessed with amassing obscene wealth and extinguishing every ember of the Biafran dream, he played puppet master to blood-soaked coups and was among the conspirators who butchered Aguiyi Ironsi, dismissing him as nothing more than a “useless desktop clerk.” But tables turn, and now they’ve turned with a vengeance. The mighty lion of yesterday is today’s limping prey. The harmless wind of treachery he once sowed has now returned as a raging whirlwind — and it’s still only dawn.
Did Aguiyi Ironsi do for the biafran dream
Cause you seem to confuse being Igbo with wanting biafra
Ironsi was a one-Nigerian soldier not pro-Biafra and he benefited from the killing of others without doing anything to quell tensions which led to the death of thousands of Igbo

Just look at the people that caused the violence in the first place calling for self defense.
Look at his name, he's a Christian and possibly from a minority Northern tribe. I think he is genuinely concerned

I thought he is a retired general of the Nigeriam Army.

Make him help them defend themselves now.

Noise maker!

Government can not solve all this issue in a year or two. state police will make this unnecessary attacks and killings reduce. Governors should take charge of security and stop crying to the FG everytime
Re: Rise Up, defend yourselves, Government cannot protect everyone - Danjuma (vid) by emmyileri(m): 10:37am On Apr 21, 2025
They should protect themselves with stick and cutlass against Ak 47? It's well!
Re: Rise Up, defend yourselves, Government cannot protect everyone - Danjuma (vid) by jaxxy(m): 1:29pm On Apr 21, 2025
State government in these areas should form vigilante groups for state and community defence. They should be trained in defensive strategies and taking out enemy threats.

They should be lead by retired soldiers and payed well. This is vital and important.

.. where will the state governor get money to fund the state police.. state governors that are finding it difficult to pay their workers the new minimum wage..still owing their workers arrears of salaries in the new minimum wage of 70k... where will the state governors get money to build police stations for this state police, buy ammunition,guns, AK 47, provide uniforms for them, buy patrol security vehicles for the state police , pay their salaries..new minimum wage.. where will the state governor get money to do all of this.. government can start from now to address and tackle poverty, hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living, high rate of unemployment and gradually insecurity kidnapping banditry will reduce and stop gradually
