Just fight insecurity if u can ,because we want peace in every part of the nation,,this banditry should be eradicated by all legal means necessary.. others that left had similar profile but insecurity continued unabated..

You are a true- Nigerian,with a good heart .
But the Terrorists that is now termed ' Bandits ' do not deserve mercy but Death and that is how it is treated all over the World 🌎.
If the North-thinks these Bandits are Friends because they speak small,small Arabs-language, they ( Northerners) are Deceiving themselves - for accommodating the Enemies within Nigeria territory,so Bokoham and Kidnappers are enemies of NIGERIANS.
- Most of these Bokoham Are From Outside Nigeria- from Mali,Niger,Chad,other West African Countries.
•Nigerian YOUTHS AND NIGERIAN MASSES - especially the Northerners SHOULD SEE these Bandits as real Enemies of Nigeria!
• Any Traditional Ruler-including our Emirs,Obas,Bales,Village Heads- should be fished out and removed for Peace to rein- because they are part of the people encouraging Insecurity and are Benefitting from it!

Major General Olufemi Olatubosun Oluyede, congratulations on your appointment.

However, despite your remarkable and sterling past leadership qualities, Nigerians are yearning for urgent, pragmatic and visible improvements in the security situation of the country.

On paper, all previous appointees were highly extolled but could only achieve little or nothing tangible.

It's our fervent hope that you would prove your mettle.

Once again, congratulations!
