What concerns me with what Tinubu said? Make Tinubu & em fellow politicians dey play una like tosso, because una no know anything, or have a mind of una own.

I believe Fayemi has made mention that it was all politics. & the irony is that you people fell for it.

Like I said if I blamed Jonathan for the chibok issue make Jehovah punish me, if I didn’t make Jehovah punish u, can u say amen 🙏 to that?

If I supported Tinubu & the subsidy protest of 2012 make Jehovah punish me, If I didn’t make Jehovah punish u, can u also say amen 🙏 to that?

Forest rangers don't need to be armed with guns. The problem is that our police force are corrupt and grossly under funded. If they were properly funded and professional forest ranger will patrol the forest see or hear something and then relay it to the police that will respond swiftly. That is how an ideal situation should be.

Abi brendaniel u think say everyone on Nairaland dey reason like una wey so called politicians go just dey play like ping pong?

Kaczynski:
you are a fuarking r3t3rd. for saying this

we have enough of paramilitary forces with no use case like civil defense


this sort of thing happens when you elect low iq shmithead.


people are bent on electing low iq peeps eg atiku, tinubu, peter obi. all are birds of the same feathers. bunch of old men with nothing in their head


the first way to eradicate kidnappings is improving quality of life, increaase wages for everyone

second is embracing technology ie every vehicle must carry dash cam, every store ,every public place must have cctv.


FG should start making use of social media and collecting data on every one, everyone in nigeria should be identifiable

You clearly know nothing about the quality of humans that inhabit Nigeria ...You see that your forest guard they are ones who will start kidnapping.

The only way to stop is to declare life sentence for anyone found paying or participating in negotiations of ransom and even paying it and then set up a 30 million Naira compensation for the family of anyone killed by kidnappers after investigations are concluded .

Sound harsh but it's the only thing that will work

Forest rangers need arms. Proper arms. There is no guarantee that they will make it out alive to go and report to police. Also what makes you think police will not wait for directive from Abuja before action

The easiest way to end insecurity or kidnapping is when a leader is willing to do the right thing.
The killings happening here can't continue for more than 48 hours in developed countries.
Using Israel for example, it's impossible for barbarians to keep attacking a community within Israel without the security forces wiping them out.
Everything stops at the door step of a country's leadership.
All the security needs is just an order from above. We should stop all those too much talks.

One of the major problems of Nigeria is that those elected to lead us over the years are not great problem solvers or that leaders are not genuinely concerned about the numerous problems facing the nation. Even as a private citizen, ever since a close relative was abducted in 2020 and released after ransom, I have been thinking about how this menace can be brought to an end in the country. I recently tweeted the following about the spate of kidnappings in Nigeria. 👇 The Tweet:

"90% of kidnappings in Nigeria occur in bushes on the expressways and city outskirts. Setup "Forest Guard" a paramilitary Organization across the country made of only indigenous youths in 774 LGA to comb our forest areas daily. Scrap NYSC & fund the Organization with the defunct NYSC money. Problem solved!" ... and the tweet quickly got traction.

Here are details of how this idea can be implemented perfectly with no additional load to the country's annual budget:

1.) Recruitment in each LGA must only be from indigenous youths whom having been living in the community in the last 10 years. This is to ensure that all personnels are knowledgeable of the terrain of the community. Not what they do in NPF where someone will be brought in from Sokoto to police a village in Rivers State.

2.) The geographical size of a each LGA will determine the number of personnels recruited. The bigger the size of LGA the higher the number of personnel stationed on it.

3.) Few troubled LGAs where there is ongoing fighting with Boko Haram, Bandits, UGM etc will be exempted. Only the military will be assigned to handle those LGAs.

4.) The Paramilitary group will be armed and equipped with communication gadgets and surveillance drones especially in LGAs with difficult terrains.

5.) The Paramilitary group will have national head in Abuja and state controller generals in each state.

6.) NYSC will have to be scrapped and it's annual budget reallocated to this new organization to prevent additional load on the country's yearly budget.

7.) If a kidnap was successfully carried out and the kidnap victim was held in a particular LGA during the ransom negotiation. All the paramilitary personnels stationed in that particular LGA will have to reimburse the victim's family from the their salary for a month or months depending on the ransom amount they family paid. This is to ensure optimum performance and to prevent personnels from directly or indirectly engaging in kidnappings themselves.


8.) This paramilitary group maybe be named Nigerian Forest Guard or something else. It's mandate will be to patrol, comb and safeguard our forest areas nationwide.

Because No forest hideout, No Kidnapping in Nigeria. If you are close to anyone in govt, show him this post.

That’s long story, just clone the phones of all the military and paramilitary personnel working on highways in Nigeria to intercept their calls and end it by 90% . There is no way you can kidnap successfully in Nigeria with confidence without police or army backing . Go to Abuja today , the most expensive houses worth billions of naira are being bought by military guys whose salary are less than 500k . Where do you think they getting the money from?

lionshare:
The problem is that countries like the UK, Canada, the US, and South Africa each experienced more kidnappings in 2023 than Nigeria did individually. If I asked you to give an example of a leader solving this kind of security issue simply by giving an order, you’d probably struggle to answer. The point is, before stating what should be done, you need to confirm, research, and ensure the solution is practical.
While I don’t think the original poster’s idea is completely unrealistic, it risks promoting ethnocentric favoritism. Why should someone from LGA A care about preventing the kidnapping of a resident from a different LGA if there isn’t a proper incentive? We need to follow the money. Nigeria should implement a system that allows any money transfer to be recalled at any time, no matter how long ago the transfer was made. This could be offered as a service—similar to OPay’s recall feature, although theirs only works within the OPay ecosystem. If we can recall transfers and ban outright the use of foreign exchange within the country, kidnappings involving both security agents and criminals will naturally decline. We have to think systemically, not just rely on boots on the ground. For example, Nigeria now has some of the fastest bank transfers globally, largely because of distrust among people, which has turned out to be a hidden advantage.

It's almost impossible to clone tens of thousands of phones belonging to all the security agents in the country.

Do you know that satellite phones are also used by kidnappers and other criminal elements in Nigeria ?
