Southern Nigeria Governors Give AK 47 And Automatic Weapons To Vigilantes by dederocs(op): 1:34pm On Nov 24, 2025
State governors are responsible for protecting the lives and property of their indigenous brothers and sisters.

We all have seen the automatic machine guns these terrorists and kidnappers carry, hence it is stupid to issue our vigilantes dane weak guns.

Laws are for man, laws are made to protect the people and ensure they live peacefully and happy. Southern Nigeria parliaments should pass the law issuing automatic weapons to vigilantes approved by the state assembly and governor.

Southern governors should stop acting like slaves of the north, do your job and protect your people. You are there to serve the interests of your indigenous brothers and sisters of your state not interest of Tinubu or outsiders.

The idea of this federal system of governance is so that each state can independently achieve it's aspirations and goals. The state is first before nation, this is why we have our governors and parliament, and they must work for their state indigenes. Just like the north is serving it's interest with sharia laws, southern Nigeria must protect itself, it's borders, it's culture, traditions, heritage and traditional spirituality.

Too many are being killed, do the needful now before the people resort to self help.

We are facing an existential threat, farmers can't go to farms, girls are afraid to walk alone, big men no longer go to their villages.

The Federal Government is already doing a great job arming the military and police. The governors should focus on providing the needed support for the security agencies and our laws don't allow them to directly arm anyone.

The NSA will never give any governor the license to import AK-47s into Nigeria. The office of the NSA is one that the Fulani consistently makes sure is headed by a Fulani man in any administration.

Without a certificate for arm importation, no reputable arms company will agree to sell to you. The only option will be to buy from the black market or gun runners. Any governor that does that is guaranteed to be impeached by his house of assembly under pressure from Abuja.

Most of the guns in the arms of these bandits were stolen from the Nigerian army armoury. The day the president decides that a comprehensive audit of Nigerian army armouries nation wide, Nigerians will be shocked to discover that over 40% of its armoury contents have been looted.

The governor can do it if they want, they can take the matter to court if they are serious. NSA is not above the governor...matters of the state is between the governor and state parliament.

Self defense is a constitutional right. Give the people what they need to protect themselves.

I think southern youths need to do mass protests, straight to their government houses and state house of assembly, block the entrance till we see results.

What is the difference between vigilantes and terrorists?

If the vigilantes are also armed with automatic weapons, will they not become terrorists too?

So this is just a way to get more people killed and make the southern governors look bad.

Tomorrow when they refuse to pay these vigilantes, they will enter the bush with the sophisticated weapons and become the terrorist they were sponsored to fight

The only thing preventing the vigilante from winning the war against Banditry is the kind of weapon they use cos these bandits are afraid of vigilantes.

Absolutely, I mean as a people we are foolish if we can't make laws to protect ourselves from terrorists. No nation on earth is this stupid...we are refusing to protect ourselves by ourselves grin

True talk, and our dear President is doing nothing because he doesn't want to loose the support of the North.

The southerners should first of all identify the terrorists in their midst.

We all have seen the automatic machine guns these terrorists and kidnappers carry, hence it is stupid to issue our vigilantes dane weak guns.

Laws are for man, laws are made to protect the people and ensure they live peacefully and happy. Southern Nigeria parliaments should pass the law issuing automatic weapons to vigilantes approved by the state assembly and governor.

Southern governors should stop acting like slaves of the north, do your job and protect your people. You are there to serve the interests of your indigenous brothers and sisters of your state not interest of Tinubu or outsiders.

The idea of this federal system of governance is so that each state can independently achieve it's aspirations and goals. The state is first before nation, this is why we have our governors and parliament, and they must work for their state indigenes. Just like the north is serving it's interest with sharia laws, southern Nigeria must protect itself, it's borders, it's culture, traditions, heritage and traditional spirituality.

Too many are being killed, do the needful now before the people resort to self help.
There is no such thing as a “weak gun.” A weapon is only as effective as the person handling it. An assault rifle means nothing if the operator can’t hit a target at close range. Training, discipline, and competency decide effectiveness — not the type of gun.

You can’t shout about “law” and “rights” when it suits you, while forcing culture, forcing tradition, lying, and breaking laws that are meant to protect human rights and basic decency.

You have no right to complain now, because you’ve ignored or denied the very protections that should apply to everyone. Laws don’t disappear when it’s inconvenient for you, and neither do basic human rights. Be consistent before you try to lecture anyone.

I’ve lived in your country long enough to see it clearly: Nigeria is a corrupt and criminal place. THE MAJORITY, though not all, break the law daily and openly don’t care — until a crime personally affects them.

Rape, child molestation, theft between citizens — all rampant. Yet if someone challenges tradition, steals your “bride price,” or tries to let people marry as they choose, suddenly it’s the end of the world.

The truth is almost the whole country operates outside the law, ignoring basic human rights and decency, and that’s why people get away with it. Until that reality changes, complaints about “law” are hollow.

It's the job of the political class to ensure laws are adhered to.

What or who are you referring to?

It's the job of senators to make laws and job of police to enforce laws, so if you have nothing sensible to say, move on.

We are talking of jihadists and terrorists killings you are talking of people breaking laws, are you a jihadist?
