Those With dreads can do business In Niger - Governor Bago Recants on directive by etokhana(op): 2:44pm On Apr 23, 2025

Governor Umar Bago of Niger State has backtracked on his directive for security operatives to arrest persons with dreadlocks in Minna, the state capital.

Bago, while speaking at a stakeholders’ security meeting held at the government house on Tuesday, had directed security operatives to cut the dreadlocks of such arrested residents and impose fines on them.

“Anybody that you find with dreadlocks, arrest, barb the hair, and fine the person.

“Nobody should carry any kind of haircut inside Minna. I have given marching orders to security agencies,” the governor said.

However, on Wednesday, the governor made a U-turn on his directive after being criticized by several Nigerians.

Inviting investors to Niger State, the governor urged anyone intending to establish in the state not to hesitate to do so.

He said: “Yesterday we read a riot act on hooliganism and people misunderstood our words for people who have dreadlocks.

“We don’t have a problem with dreadlocks but we have a problem with the cult here with dreadlocks. So if you have any business and you have dreadlocks, please come to Niger State. All that is media propaganda.”

Northerners are slaves to their governors. Fulani herdsmen killers, bokoharam, iswap don't have dreadlocks.

If northern governors channel those hisbah sharia police into fighting bandits it will go a long way. A people blinded and confused by religious dogma won't develop, progress or see peace.

Maybe his Excellency can tell us between those with dreads and those with long beards like himself, who is more likely to be profiled for terrorism? huh

As the world stands presently, most people will be more wary of a Muslim bearded man like himself than a person with dreads...

I am more scared of bearded men like him than I am of men with dreads.

With that his statement about dreads alone, I won't be shocked if he has quietly been profiled and flagged as a "person of interest" by some countries...

Most of these political office holders do not know their jobs.
This man has terrorists taking over parts of his state and he thinks the priority is boys with dreadlocks ?

I know that those who wear dreadlocks hate to hear that wearing that hairstyle (just like having tattoos all over your body) immediately suggests that you are irresponsible.

I like this governor, he has a listening ear, if the government heard our call to review floating naira and removing subsidy at same time ...maybe the economy might be in a better shape
