I no come understand again.

But he didn't say that in his first statement. I still don't see the sense in keeping children in a school, after receiving intelligence of an impending attack

Yeah, that was a huge error. If his kids were there i am sure he would have evacuated the school.

The NW and NE are approaching Mali and Sudan types of insecurity. Na slow and steady degradation. Unless something critical happens in a few years' time those regions might be lost.

Tochex101:
Serious problem...... a government that cannot even secure itself.
I learnt even Nigerian Law School Abuja was shut down due to insecurity.

I now fully support raumdeuters position...... we should have freedom to carry arms.

At this point it is clear we need every external help we can get. All those saying we don't need Trump or America's help to defeat these Islamic terrorists can be termed enemies of this country at this point.

It is clear our government doesn't have what it takes to combat and defeat these terrorists

izzou:
How Tinubu wan manage this one reach 2027, bikonu?

I honestly don't know. The issue is that most of the FGC and FGGC are almost always located on the outskirts of most host states. Look at FGC Ijanikin for example, it's situated along Lagos-Badagry expressway which is very far away from the main Lagos state where there's adequate security.

If bandits attack them at Ijanikin for example, the terrorists would've long gone before people in main Lagos state even hear of the matter.

With the closure of the schools, it's looking like the terrorists who say no to western education are winning somewhat

Emaprince:
A peacful movement will most likely have majority educated people pushing it, and not resorting to violence.

You have spoken well.

Many educated Igbos remain emotionally aligned with the IPOB cause, but they view the disruptive influence of native touts as the greatest obstacle to its legitimacy.

Eeya

Spy360:
Tinubu will not blame the north - all his security ministers are northerners he chose himself not out of competence but out of political gain.

Tinubu will not blame IPOB, that matter is obviously closed.

He will have to take responsibility the way he said Jonathan should take responsibility.

But let's watch as his minions will rush to defend him.

Of course, the buck stops on Tinubu's table being the president and Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Actually, u no go blame Izzou. He's already a Lagosian. I doubt he spent months in the EAST. Be that as it may, Kanu deserve whatever penalty he's getting. ESN he created was to counter murderous herdsmen and their accomplice. Maybe some went rogue. My only issue as an Igbo man is that you can't have one country and two systems. That is a system built on injustice & inequality. Just like Segedinho said. You can't be spending huge national resources to rehabilitate terrorist in the North and then turn around to remember the law because the terrorist is Igbo.

Ahmed Gulak, the governor of Imo state said it was more of a political assassination & nothing to do with Ipob. The ENdsarz protest started in Delta State as a resistance against police brutality though talkative Kanu roped himself in.

You have spoken well.

Youngzero2:

Tinubu should resign.Simple.
He has failed woefully

God forbid bad thing, Tinubu should never resign. Is like you don't know who the VP is

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Na projection. SE don turn to Kwara, Kebbi, Niger, Katsina. Where Bandits dey attend wedding, traditional marriage.

Lol, they actually blow it out of proportion like South East was competing with Zamfara and North.. there was insecurity but they way they were saying you will think it's another borno type shii

Could the solution to Nigeria's security challenges involve understanding human psychology and applying that understanding to the approach we take in solving security challenges?

This is from someone who lost her father in this madness.

His crime? He advised these guys to desist from terrorizing their own people.

They went to his house, dragged him and killed. Nobody found his body till date.

This is the history Elder wants to change?

Reading thru the argument, i just knew it would be that 🤡 posting his usual non.sense. Thank God i don't get to see his rubb.ish post again. For someone who is an oldie on nairaland, he post like a kid still eating mommy thank you...

Abeg what's happening with this HERD movie? I just woke check Twitter and I see people saying "cancel Netflix", "cancel HERD movie", " Avoid NETFLIX as a Muslim", etc.

Whats the story behind the whole HERD movie?

[b]Northerners have a reputation of being simple, accommodating, honest, and kind to neighbors and non-indigenes. Until it comes to religion.

When I served in Gusau, I once entered into a shop with some colleagues. The shop was opposite the NCCF family house. We had just finished Bible Study. I noticed two young boys staring at me angrily and wondered why. These were boys who would smile normally.

When we left the shop, I asked one of my colleagues about it. He laughed and told me I should have left my Bible in the house and not brought it out with me. Those guys saw the Bible and instantly changed in their attitude. It was a valuable lesson of what Christians face in the north.

During the INEC registration exercise, we were deployed to a very remote village. There was a young man there called Suleman who was the most educated person there, apart from the Emir. The Emir had a masters degree from the UK. Suleman had completed secondary school. He was in his early 20s and married.

He helped us greatly because his English was fair and so he was able to interpret. He worked with us everyday. Very amiable fellow. I refused to give him more money because I wanted him to further his education at the state polytechnic, but no. He would smile and say once he made a little money, he wanted to marry a second wife! Okay sir.

For some reason, Suleman felt it was a good idea to introduce me to his imam. He had told the imam about me and that I was his friend, I had taught him a lot, and I was a Christian. So one day we went to say hello. I greeted this man and he would not respond. The three of us stood outside on the street. Suleman was so embarrassed but could not say anything to his pastor. The man spoke with Suleman throughout as though I was not there. Say hello to your invisible man.

For Rural Rugged, we go providing medical care and food and clothing materials and preach to the lost in those villages. You could not just go preach the gospel ho-ha. It had to be done carefully, wisely, and gingerly. My set had several rugged outings. Many were helped materially and healthwise, but above all - souls were saved and God helped us to go in and out as 'corpers' without incident.

After elections, the prominent northern party lost and you know, dogs and baboon and all that. There were killings. Southerners were targeted. Christians were targeted. I remember we have 2 or 3 peace keeping soldiers with their long rifles stationed at the NCCF Family House all through that period. Other major corpers lodges too. About 17 churches were burnt down. 2 or 3 pastors among others were killed.

We would many times take turns in keeping watch at night and sometimes see boys trying to scale the high fence with cutlasses and other weapons in their hands. Then they would see the soldiers and jump back down. Some of these boys were people we had given food and clothes too. I remember how many of them huddled around the same fence when we did our Christmas party in December of the previous year. We fed them and gave some presents. Jesus presents. And yet. Upon still.

I went back to that village because there was a family who's welfare I was interested in. I went alone and had a chat with them in broken English. It was a long trip. I went on a bike and twice on the way to and fro, we encountered rivers and had to enter canoes - me, the bike man and his bike, and then get off to continue the journey. I didn't meet Suleman or his imam.

It was the last major trip I did before leaving Zamfara. Because of the serenity and simplicity of the North, I had wanted to stay back for some time after the service year ended, but family and friends said NO! Come back south, please. My clinic supervisor, a middle aged Zamfarian, wanted me to stay back. He told me he would get me a good job, a good woman to wife😀. He brought a few cars to me to buy at a very affordable rate. During the violence he called to know if I was okay, but I was warned to not tell him my location! You see that?

There's no doubt that being a southerner in the north, especially of a particular tribe, bears risk. And there is NO DOUBT that being a Christian is dangerous and life threatening. Apart from discrimination and marginalization - both subtle and overt, many have suffered losses of properties and health, and many have lost their lives simply for belonging to God in Christ Jesus. The good news is that those who suffer for Christ this way have passed into eternal glory.

And it has gotten FAR WORSE since then. May God continue to strengthen His Church and His people, and may He both deliver justice and have mercy on those lost souls who do wickedly.

Let God arise, and let His 'enemy' be scattered.

Good morning.[/b]

The same dude said that North have been overrun five years ago. Even Daura Buhari hometown is no go area. Some months ago, he was saying that Buhari reduced insecurity in the North. That generally terrorism reduced significantly under PMB compared to GEJ. Na here he talk am

Now e reach Kanu matter, he's saying that the same North have been overrun by terror groups.

GloriousGbola:
Nature abhors a vaccum unfortunately

Kanu and Ekpa are now locked up, but there are definitely others itching to take their place.

Especially if it is true that Igbos in the abroad are providing funding

The cash is an incentive

Somebody else might pick up the mantle from Ekpa, it is a very good way for whoever is leading the mob to make easy money through donations and contributions. But i don't think it can ever be as devastating as it was with Kanu and Epka..

Emaprince:
The worst thing you can do to yourself is brazenly lie to yourself. I understand you may do it in public forum so the yorubas or Northerners dont laugh at you, but believing what you are telling yourself is self destructive.

A governor (soludo) openly told you that those killing igbos are igbos themselves. You think you have better intel than him? If bandits kill people in the bushes, thats in the bushes. But then how many herdsmen are even in the entire SE?
-Who are the people attacking and sometimes killing people on mondays
-Why are people even asked to not go to work on monday for this many years
-The lady that her father was dragged out and killed for advicing a young boy to desist from the havoc him and the group are causing , told you they were bandits
-When we travel down to SE, we are alwasy adviced to becareful of our movement at night. Shey na bandits we dey fear?
I dont reside in SE, but I do travel every year...and my parents are there. I have childhood friends there..uncles, aunts, cousins. So we dey hear scores everyday.

..and listen, nobody is saying that IPOB memebers walk around attacking peoples homes everyday. The problem is that if you are popular and you dont lend your voice to the movement, you are in trouble. If you speak against their violent approach to it, they will kill you.

Why are they killing soldiers and police? Shey na herdmen dey do that one? Why are they even armed in the first place? The ghuns in their hands is what birthed kidnappings and all manner of crimes perpetrated in the East by the so called "unkown gunmen". When boys with no prior job joins a group, and they are armed..you can tell how it will end. I was in Aba during bakkassi days...and I knew how it ended, because Orji uzor kalu gave them his govt backing. They were armed, had esecutive buses...then they became Lord, stepping beyond their boundaries, collecting illegal taxes, setting land matters, beating up mororists who block the road when they are coming. They became terrorists that the entire public had to protest...so people got injured too cos the bakassi boys fought back.

I have heard of how boys are joining the group. Check well, na because of the guns and opportunity it presents to them, because they never had anything doing. A peacful movement will most likely have majority educated people pushing it, and not resorting to violence.

What you typed here doesn’t make any sense. You must have typed these because you think I hold brief for MNK. He is emotional which made him take a wrong turn and committed crimes against the state.

But I am certain that an average Igbo man isn’t scared of any armed group aside Fulani terrorists. Maybe the police and Army is scared of armed groups but not civilians in the east. So why deceive ourselves when government can help fight those armed demons in the bush that rape and kill.

People travel to Aba and Onitsha from all over the country to do business without zero cause to fear as long as their is no sit at home. No group is targeting civilians in the east, know this and know peace.

As long as there is no sit at home. LOL

Not defending this senseless government but what does Tinubus resignation have to do with this discourse?
What assurances are you getting from the new Government that will take its place....
The arms and ammunitions criminal hold through out the North, middle belt and south will they suddenly disappear?

Where is your confidence coming from...

Do you agree Dayo?

What a Country

Could the key to resolving Nigeria's persistent security crises lie in moving beyond military solutions to a focus on understanding the psychological drivers of violence and radicalization? We must apply the science of human behavior to design security strategies that effectively target recruitment, grievances, and community trust, making solutions more resilient and long-lasting.

There is a naija movie on Netflix with kidnapping bandits as a key theme.

Somehow a movie that highlights a dangerous and frightening reality for all Nigerians is now an attack on Islam, Nigerian Muslims and arewa.
