Why federal government? Any forest guard not from local vigilante of a community is counter productive

q

You are wise and reasonable. Another thing is to give them ak 47 too

unclenna:
Any forest guards not from the community is a TERRORIST. How can you take someone from kano to become a forest guard in Imo state. Nigerians, wake up!!!!

Do you read at all you just want to comment

Nobody know how this 7000 forest guards were recruited. Why this government is always doing things in dubious manner.

Hope this is not an attempt to give the herdsmen new identity.

We want progressive results anyways.

Munu ribadu and co.. Forest guard ni..at this twenty first century all you need is drones and more drones to Mann gather intelligence. You are just sending this once to there grave..wad da fukkk can de do that Nigerian soldiers had not done now I know you people are not serious you need to create drones platoons in the police and military and train more officer in intelligence gathering with this drones there will be no hiding place for this terrorist

crestedaguiyi:
I see them as 7000 Nigerians on bandit death row.

What exactly will this guy's do that the army couldn't do even with the shoot at sight order they were given.

What caliber of weapon would they get that the army didn't get.

What level of motivation would they get that the army couldn't get.

They chose to go die for nothing. As long as the control still lies at the centre, I don't expect much from them.

Why forest guard instead of state police.

I spit on APC as a party and as a people

God bless PBAT .
God bless good and peace loving people of Nigeria.
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.

How were they recruited?
Did the recruitment follow federal character?
Anyway wish them to win over insecurity

3 months training ? Well, God go run the remaining one.

Medicine after death 💀💀 please don't go and kill all those innocent soul ooh because like this now we av Santa trump to help us with the attack using drone so don't worry we don't need any help from Nigeria politicians anymore because they are playing politics with people life

Imagine a terrorist like nuhu ribadu setting up the so called forest guards to stop terrorism ? This is a big joke. Please these forest guards must remain in north.
But nigerians are too foolish oh. Yoruba people set up amotekun. What exactly is these forest guards going to do differently ?
The earlier you guys accept that the final lasting solution to terrorism in Nigeria is disintegration of Nigeria, the better for all of you.

Go back and read the line for due comprehesion. Those recruited are indigenous to the state.

Any security outfit that involves the fulanis will not work, let's stop pretending, this is another way of distributing terrorists all over the country,

NSA Ribadu Unveils 7,000 Forest Guards, Set for Immediate Deployment


https://www.channelstv.com/2025/12/27/fg-graduates-over-7000-forest-guards-set-for-immediate-deployment/amp/

Forest guards or Miyyeti Allah militia.

shortgun:
Nuhu Ribadu should just resign. He is a complete failure and has become a deeply divisive figure. The numerous videos circulating of him in the company of radical Islamic clerics raise serious concerns about his neutrality and patriotism .
A National Security Adviser should never be associated with anything that fuels division or extremism.
Nigeria has far more qualified former military men and women who understand national security at a strategic level. The country deserves better than an ex-police officer.

The attack on Nuhu Ribadu’s credibility reflects ignorance of our security architecture. Dismissing him because he’s an ex-police officer shows a poor grasp of history and national security. The police are not subordinates to the military — they are the mother agency of all security institutions, a broad institution trained in law enforcement with deep experience in intelligence gathering, community trust-building, counterterrorism, and international peacekeeping, and — the qualities most essential in modern national security leadership.
Ex-police officers like Ribadu bring invaluable expertise in bridging internal and external security, a quality many advanced nations value in strategic leadership. Countries such as the UK and Japan rely primarily on strong policing systems to maintain peace and order. Even nations with powerful militaries respect their police institutions they enjoy immense respect, as strategic security partners in internal and international security frameworks. Undermining the police is not patriotism — it’s a disservice to the brave men and women who protect this nation daily. Ribadu deserves respect, not ridicule, for his service and competence.
These are how I perceives & advice people like you: “The hen that lectures the eagle on flying still waits for her rooster to find his way home.”
“When the drum in your house beats out of tune, don’t teach the village how to dance.”
“Before building the nation, sweep your sitting room.”

Make them kuku tell everybody to dey em own as a nation. Nigeria is not working out again ajeh.

Apart from this as a means of employment, I don't see any impact this will bring. Untill the saboteurs are tooted out, NOTHING.

Check the article again.

The graduating Forest Guards are indigenous to their respective local government areas, enabling them to leverage terrain familiarity and community trust in countering banditry, kidnapping, and the illegal exploitation of forest resources

Abi 😂😂😂

I can bet my balls that this 7,000 forest guards are bandits
This is a way of settling them

It's a hidden plan in the negotiation

Let them not create ethnic militia, they should remember Rwanda and Burundi that's how it started.Why we they selected from only the Frontline states?Are there not forest in other parts of Nigeria.Ehy don't they equip and encourage the existing sercurity agencies so they can work better.
Nigeria have been able to fight insercurity challenges because she lack political will to fight the ugly monster.Tribal and religious sentiment cannot allow her to do so.Also our leader ate not doing well.

You are right seeing him in the company of radical Islamic clerics but lots of police officers have been NSA📌💯 likes of Muhammadu Gambo Jimeta, Alhaji Ismaila Gwarzo.

I hope rebadu is not fulani by tribe.

Hope when a bandit or terrorist is caught, they will not claim " forest guard". I smell rat

Are they equipped with drones, Good automatic rifles, fair salaries?

If not, you guys are joking again.

I hope they’ve also been given “NSA rifles” like their Miyetti Allah card carrying counterparts.

Trust has been lost. This is deep reason behind these posts, and no one should blame them. Well, the government cannot operate with your ideology, but your point is valid. Which should we take more serious? If you ask me too, I side with you. However, progressing forward is slow like this. So, it is showing day by day that the amalgamation of Nigeria is coming to an end. When trust is lost, nothing will function. We don't trust ourselves from the beginning. And the real truth is that there was no trust. Never join force with people of opposite religion. Different tribes, cultures, backgrounds can come together, but not different religion. And the worst is joining force with Islam. They should be left in their world alone. Nigeria should start getting ready to split. And I congratulate Igbos and SS in advance because they don't have many moslims among them. They can easily stop everything Islam if they want once they are not in Nigeria. But Yoruba will have to continue managing the situation. Also, Southern Kaduna and other non moslims in the north will have to ask for integration into a Christian community because they must quit their homeland; else, they will be the scape goats.

You head dey there

Does this mean that Tinubu is a clueless clown who knows nothing about government apart from raising revenue from increasing TAX burden on people

Maxymilliano:
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him.
According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.

Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.

At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.

The country amalgamated in 1914 by the British is not splitting up.

Are Igbo governors and those of the SS not not joining Tinubu to stand on his manhood in their Arewa People’s Congress, APC

Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

— Adeyinka Grandson (@deyinkagrandson) July 14, 2019

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

It is better to know about something before you condemn it.
The Forest Guards are employed by states that want them. The FG through the NSA just train them and ensure they are armed, since State governments don't have the capacity to train them especially in arms bearing and also don't have the capacity to approve the use of arms.
So, they are state security employees, to be deployed by the states and paid by the states!
