You are not safe in your own country.

And they're still working to re-elect DRUGGIE in 2027. Shame on you 😕

May Allah facilitate her safe release

I don’t live In Nigeria but I also ask what is the problems with Nigerians. Citizens don’t speak up about insecurity, unemployment and others. What’s trends in Nigeria is VDM and king Mitchy, Iyabo Ojo, carte Efe and peller, Jarvis and always about davido new baby mama.


Can’t insecurity just continue to trend. Even if it does for one day. Another hot gist from big brother will take over. This is the reason the government is getting away with a lot of things. Our body language is poor. I think some of you need to pick an activist like sowore or any other one you like and just support them on activism. You can join a couple of other forums that speak up on national issues there are a couple of them!!

This is the Nigeria of some people dreams, if you a Tinubu supporter, this is what you want for Nigeria

May she be found safe and returned on time



Will you stop this nonsense narrative, So Tinubu who is the commander in chief of the armed forces should sit idle while his armed forces play evil with their jobs?

Listen to yourself, did any governor employ the DPO, it was Tinubu that employed him, Tinubu is his commander chief, What good example is Tinubu showing to that DPO as his commander in chief?

What exactly did you people support Tinubu to become president for? To just bear the title without the responsibilities?

Like leader like follower, it is you people who put Tinubu there that are like the DPO, because the DPO is a reflection of the leader he follows and a reflection of the supporters supporting that leader

That is why we keep advocating for a restructuring of the police service to take away central control which has become a political bacon and transfer responsibility and accountability to the point of service demand. Crimes are committed at the grassroots. That is where police command should be.

The Federal government and it's supporters cannot shake off responsibility if it holds firmly to the reins of action. You ALONE appoints the Head of Security, head of institutions, you ALONE bear responsibility for the outcome.

You don't want the heat of criticism then either perform or give way. If the work is too much then delegate, if the scope and coverage is too wide then franchise.

So, Nigeria has officially become the Kidnapping Headquarter of the universe.

If you can't sort out the most important need of your citizens (Security and Safety), on what grounds are you seeking reelection?!!

Seyi Law is not seeing this news o

Investigative journalists, always add possible time and date of the crime, it helps people to make inferences and possibly help in the investigation of the matter.

I saw a video online where some Fulani boys in the bush allege that a DPO kept them in the Bush to kid-nap people and share ransom with him (DPO)….

We are our own problem but a lot of people are so quick to blame the President for everything that happened in their backyard….Especially when they have Governors in their backyard

PolyGamous:
Well, if you ask me. That doesn’t sound like a solution because even within the regions, there are more differences, I feel our education has been waste for not being able to live together “my view”, seeing our votes as the only power we have got us here. India, Russia, USA, and China are more diverse than we are here in Nigeria.

It’s just my view anyways, politicians we do all to please voters, which is one scary thing I felt when all candidates campaigned to removed subsidy.

That's a very big lie, If you have not still seen that Nigeria's major problem is ideological conflict, then you are very far from reality, education is not Nigeria's problem , that is why it is looking like a waste of time to you.

Because your eyes have not opened yet or you chose not open it,

Just take a look at the regions, if you still can't state what the regions want as at now then you missed a whole lot of indicators...

Take for instance, Israel and Iran are fighting, the Islamic north are carrying Iran flag and burning Israel and USA flag, in the south east they are carrying Israel flag and USA flag in support.

Are these not 2 different countries in one?

I'm even going far, what about picking leaders?

If religion and tribe is still a yardstick to get support in certain regions then it already tells you what those regions want.

What the regions in Nigeria want individually is not the same because we don't reason alike, our ideologies are not the same, this is not about education, that is why you can see a professor in the north supporting shariah and a professor in south supporting a person who had no childhood record...

Democracy exposed the fault lines of Nigeria, military government was what kept the country this long also with some level of peace because it suppressed all the ideologies, but democracy gave room for those ideologies to blossom, and the Nigeria you see today is the result...


It is easier to manage people who share similar or closely related ideologies than to mage people with far opposing ideologies...

You think Europe has small small countries for no reason...

Haaaa. Meaning bandits fit kidnap our president? It's finished.

who appointed the head of the police?

The same president that upholds tribalism and eschews merit..

this is the outcome, this is the result
insecurity

btw have you or Tinubu followed up with the case to identify and prosecute the DPO?

No, the DPO is still there because the incompetent president is lazy and docile

You think Europe has small small countries for no reason...

Well, you just proven my view of Education of the country being a waste. The Iran example you gave shows you only follow the breeze, and Europe having small small countries is another example. So, because the U.S. parties have different racial mindset, the country should split into two?

Extensive reading will actually solve all this, Nigerians as a whole were made to believe the only power they’ve got is votes, making some parts feel the power lies with them and some feels they are minority. And if you fail to admit that there won’t be even more break away after the regional splits, then you are just ignorants of the signs, but will only realize when wonders start showing up.

I’m not against splitting, but it’s obviously not the solution to the backward mentality average Nigerians have!!

Lolzzz😂😂😂

You see the problem with people like you, you are not detailed, you think the problem of Nigeria is election, election is a very secondary issue, whether anyone believes they have the number or not is even a c=secondary issue, and I will explain later.

for the Iran/Israel war and the Europe countries, I only used that to show you how ideologies shape people decision making not politics, you are so focused on the poltical side of things that you miss the main points.

The 2 paragraphs I wrote up there are still linked to show you it has nothing to do with politics or education but Ideology, let me ask you a question, what will make a professor and and Almajiri(unschooled) person from the north choose a Buhari over a Femi Adesina of AFDB?

If you can answer this correctly then I will take you seriously...

Our government need to act fast on this security issue. This kidnapping is getting out of hand.

If you can answer this correctly then I will take you seriously...

Now, let me answer you realistically.
Professors might vote for Femi Adesina, but in entire Nigeria regions all the professors we have are not up to the Almajiris in the north alone..

People’s decision making and Ideology is mostly shaped by education and exposure. I don’t want to break down so many things about the small countries in Europe and the Iran’s matter. But, if the so called small countries in Europe could do everything to come together under the flag of EU, then it screams a lot.

If being a small country is the economic and development solutions, there won’t be EU, ASEAN, UN, AU, UAE, ECOWAS, and other unions that brings sovereign countries together to share rules.

When I say Nigerians ideology, about their power and contribution to the Nation is vote got us here, I know what I am saying. Politicians stopped being accountable, and all they do is to please the populations (uneducated) that get them what they want. Every nations have their weaknesses though, U.S. will do so much to favor their capitalist than the masses in every policy it makes. We as a nation need to realize so much that we are not looking at.


Ibadan is dirty, which is obviously littered by the masses, it will be hard for governor to make a policy that restricts them from littering the city because of the fear of opposition coming to campaign with that policy “by, maybe telling them it’s the duty of the governor to keep the city clean, not the masses”, that should tell you what I meant by our education level.

This is becoming embarrassing on a daily basis, jets and helicopters are procured, US troops in the country, security adviser everywhere yet insecurity multiplies daily.

We are really in a Pathetic situation with the state of insecurity in the Land.

Some of you just think because you have mouth. You can just open it and say what comes to your head.

Pray make any police Officer no see this your comment. Them go invite you come show them the video wey u see where the Fulani boys talk.

Thundafireseun:
I saw a video online where some Fulani boys in the bush allege that a DPO kept them in the Bush to kid-nap people and share ransom with him (DPO)….

Abeg, don't say "we". Rather say you are part of the problem. WHen GEJ was in government, you didnt make excuses for him. Today, you want ordinary Nigerians to take the blame for what is happening in the country. I don't like it when people speak from bot sides of the mouth,

One of them said that Nigeria is safer now than 10yrs ago

So I asked google which country has the worst case of kidnapping

I am still in shock as I believed Mexico and Colombia would have come first place. $1.66 Million in ransome in a single year. This is big business and a lot of those who are meant to protect us are into it, no wonder there seems to be no solutions in sight

File wont upload. NL is really gone


[b]Based on recent reports Nigeria is currently experiencing one of the world's worst kidnapping crises, characterized by mass abductions of students, travelers, and residents, with over 7,500 people abducted between July 2023 and June 2024.

Haiti is also considered to have one of the worst, most chaotic, and escalating kidnapping situations, particularly in Port-au-Prince, where gangs often kidnap groups of people from buses, including women and children.

Here is a breakdown of countries with the most critical kidnapping situations:

Nigeria: Kidnapping has become a "lucrative industry" with bandits and jihadist groups targeting schools and highways. The Northwest region faces the highest number of incidents, with over N2.56 billion ($1.66 million) paid in ransoms in a single year.

Haiti: The situation is described as the "worst in the history of the country" with a 150% increase in kidnappings for ransom in early 2021 compared to the previous year, targeting mostly local citizens.

Mexico: Known for high, yet underreported, kidnapping rates, often linked to organized crime and drug cartels, with tens of thousands of people reported missing.

Colombia: Despite declines from its peak in the 2000s, it remains a dangerous region where armed groups and rebel groups still use kidnapping to extort money and control territory.

Other High-Risk Areas: Countries with ongoing conflicts and poor security infrastructure, such as Syria, Yemen, South Sudan, and Somalia, are considered high-risk, particularly for aid workers and foreigners[/b]

Bro stop debating with these people. They pretend like they are not supporting APC or not tribalistic Yorubas by making neutral comments that only discerning mind can figure out where their loyalty and support truly lies through that same comment. A perfect example of such people is that @Nairaland1 guy that's always yapping about how Nigerians are not paying enough taxes..


Nigeria should be divided to actually see true progress. We are not the same people.

I think Nigeria is the only country in the world with equal or almost the same numbers of Christian and Muslim population. Look at every other countries in the world, there's usually very higher number of citizens with the same ideologies (religion, education, ethnicity, etc) than different ideologies.

PolyGamous:

You are mixing up, Institutions with nationhood, EU, ECOWAS and co are institutions and not a nation, a nation is formed by people who share the same ideology, that's why Nigeria is also not a nation, because we don't share the same ideology.

The countries in EU are mostly nations that are all members of an institution, reason why members can pull out anytime, same with ECOWAS and the rest, so you are mixing things up.

Secondly, you seem not to understand my question, I said; what will make a professor and and Almajiri(unschooled) person from the north choose a Buhari over a Femi Adesina of AFDB?

You didn't even understand the question, what will make a professor and an Almajiri in the north make the same choice of choosing Buhari over a Femi Adesina?

So your answer was clearly out of line...

Thirdly, Nigeria does not have an ideology, if Nigeria had an ideology, we will not be in conflict, the country would have made far more progress than this, Nigeria temporarily had an ideology only during the military regime and it was military ideology, and that came to an end the moment democracy was restored.

Nigeria has more than 6 ideologies from different regions and some are at conflict with others, what each region wants is not the same, that is like more than 6 people dragging the steering of a moving vehicle to drive his own pattern and direct, of course, that is a recipe for disaster, that is the Nigeria you see today...

And your last paragraph still boils down to ideology, what governs the thoughts of the people, what the people want, it is not really about education, being uneducated doesn't mean you should be dirty.

There are way to change people's ideologies and oe of the best way is to prove to them that the ideology is not beneficial to them.

Human beings naturally go after what they feel is beneficial to them, sometimes you have to show proof, education is good but with proof you have better result, the regions in Nigeria would likely have gone farther than were they are today if they were nations of their own.

Proof would likely have been revealed to every region long time ago

What do they mean by saying "in a shocking development".
This is a country where Obas,Emirs,male footballers and far more prominent people have been kidnapped.
What is shocking in the kidnap of a female local league player?

Well, I really don’t want us to drag this further since the conversation isn’t syncing.

People knows what they want, then why should we complain after voting for someone? Why do we need a politician to campaign heavily and often feel convinced?

What I believe education does is changing ideology, education not literacy, I think that is needed to be emphasized. An educated person doesn’t need to be told that his or her is in his hands, and by keeping his or environment clean there will be reduction in exposure to dangerous situations for their health. And about nations coming together, it wasn’t just because they have same ideology and you can be threatened if you choose to pull out of it “case of the Sahel, and Canada at the moment”, they understand the power of working together, and also to be under an umbrella of big power…

Like I said, selfish interests was what calls for pulling out of the nation, if you know you know.. with state policing, I believe we are almost getting to the point of autonomous state. No state governor selection is been influenced by outside state except the people of the state don’t know what they want.

And since you decide not to acknowledge how voting power has affected decisions of politicians in the past, then explain to me why a northern candidate must always be on every party’s candidate?

[quote author=Brendaniel post=138638689]

Secondly, you seem not to understand my question, I said; what will make a professor and and Almajiri(unschooled) person from the north choose a Buhari over a Femi Adesina of AFDB?

You didn't even understand the question, what will make a professor and an Almajiri in the north make the same choice of choosing Buhari over a Femi Adesina?

What part of it you don’t understand? We have over 15 million uneducated people in the north, and about 16 thousand professors in the whole of Nigeria, even if they all choose the Femi Adesina guy, their vote won’t still count. And the Almajiris will surely vote for those that won’t get a strict policy that will affect them. Which one of it is an example of the Ibadan cleanliness

Thirdly, Nigeria does not have an ideology, if Nigeria had an ideology, we will not be in conflict, the country would have made far more progress than this, Nigeria temporarily had an ideology only during the military regime and it was military ideology, and that came to an end the moment democracy was restored.

Saying Nigeria doesn’t have ideology is obviously an off short btw. Even Almajiris have their ideology, not to talk of those that are literate and those that are educated.
