Ekiti state is one of the state APC rigged wetin no good!
APC and Tinubu led Administration should come to their aid

ceejay80s:
Nigeria is a waste land,
I pity the president that Nigeria will collapse in his watch,
All these politics they are paying withpeoples live will end this country oneday
Obasanjo
Jonathan
Buhari
Tinubu
Are all clueless,lazy , incapable of ruling Nigeria,
It's a shame Abacha was murdered for nothing

Remove Obasanjo from that list before I call Uganda thunder for u

May God Almighty help this country

What do you think? Could this have happened in the past, when our African villages and towns were ruled by kings, before they started selling their own people to the Portuguese? Africa has not recovered from the weakness of the slave trade and colonialism. And even more shamefully, ordinary criminals now rule territories. Tufiakwa!

timota:
Remove Obasanjo from that list before I call Uganda thunder for u

I have not seen any president of Nigeria better than military rule,
All these kidnap and biko haram, babangida, Abacha even obasanjo when he was in military rule and also abuhari military rule would have crushed these militants in a second,,
Their civilian form was weak,
Maybe u weren't born then but thee military men will find out these people source and exterminate them publicly ,
Back then Muslims and Christians lived as one

Are you for real where did u read that it's Muslims / Fulani .What's wrong with you

Tenses:
E be like say this Islamic terrorists don get Intel say no 72 virgins for heaven again.

So they want virgins for earth. But the problem be say virgins in that entire region no reach 72, both young and old.

Brendaniel:
This looks like Fulani herdsmen, but you won't see this people coming out to tell them to go back to their region, everywhere will be quiet, they won't even call out Tinubu whom they bragged with the claims of coming to fight the herdsmen.

I then ask, what exactly did they support Tinubu to become president for?

It is clear: bragging rights and to mock those who they think are their enemies.

Condolences to the bereaved, quick and safe returns to the kidnapped, and may peace be restored to the affected communities

Jumping straight to tribal labeling is exactly the problem. The moment every security incident in Nigeria is reduced to this tribe or that tribe, the conversation stops being about security and starts becoming ethnic blame.

Banditry, kidnapping, and rural violence are criminal and security issues not a tribal scoreboard. Turning it into who supported President Bola Ahmed Tinubu or which ethnic group must answer for criminals only deepens division while the real problem weak enforcement, local security failures, and poor accountability remains unaddressed.

In reality, development is driven largely at the state and local level. Governors, senators, and local government chairmen control budgets, infrastructure projects, state secuity, schools, hospitals, and basic services within their states. Federal allocations are distributed to every state, and it is those local leaders who decide how effectively those funds are used.

The president’s role is primarily national security coordination, economic direction, diplomacy, and maintaining balance among states. When theres is insurgency or disturbances in a state, roads collapse, hospitals decay, or schools fail in a state, the first line of accountability should be the governor and local leadership, not simply blaming a president because he comes from a particular tribe.

Nation-building is not a tribal competition. It’s a collective responsibility that requires citizens to understand how governance actually works and to hold every level of leadership accountable, not just the one that is politically convenient to blame.

Istead of everyone mobilizing to fight for their comunity, four men voluntered to surrender themselves willingly to common criminals later some of these cowards will be disparaging a country like Iran, where the people are not afraid to fight and die for their country.

As in eh.The country is in ruins and our so called leaders are busy doing politics. Let's forget the rest of Nigeria, what benefit have ordinary people in the south west gotten from Tinubu 's government? They can not even live in peace without fear of kidnappers and murderers.

pointblank247:
And you still call this place a country ? Trump was mild in his choice of word describing us

There is insider among them, if any one wanted to stop insecurities in Nigeria, just involve local warrior like Sunday Adeyemo Igboho, this thing will stop, both Kidnappers, Police, Army with other securities personnel are working together, the kidnapers tell their victims that they work together with Nigeria securities personnel, when our Politicians are moving around with Ghana must go full of money with all this securities personnel notice the movement of huge cash, what did you expected from them that carried Gun but no money to care for their love one,s at home. they are the one escort those cash they witness it.

You are wrong. The federal government controls all the major security agencies:police,army,navy,civil defence etc.The federal government is headed by the President. Yes,we can still blame the governors etc but the President is commander in chief and will always be the first to be criticised for pervasive insecurity. We don't need excuses, we want to see results.

So what were you people including Tinubu blaming Jonathan for?

And why were you people blaming him?

tunde1200:
And South East too.

SE is actually the safest zone in this country. I know you don't like to hear this because it doesn't suit your narratives but facts don't lie. Stay there and be looking at SE while your home burns

Ekiti state governor, you need to sorosoke, what is happening

Yes, the President as Commander in Chief will naturally face criticism for national security. No one disputes that. But pretending that insecurity begins and ends with the president is a misunderstanding of how the system actually works.

Security failures are rarely created at the top alone. Intelligence, policing, and prevention start locally. Governors control state security architecture in practice they fund logistics for police operations, coordinate vigilante and community security structures, influence intelligence gathering, and control local political environments where banditry, kidnapping, and militancy grow. When communities become ungoverned spaces, that failure begins long before federal forces are deployed.

Even the most powerful Commander in Chief cannot compensate for weak local governance, poor intelligence cooperation, politicized local actors, or communities where criminal networks operate with protection or silence. That is why serious security analysis never reduces national instability to a single office.

Criticizing the president is legitimate. But claiming that the presidency alone explains pervasive insecurity ignores the shared responsibility of governors, legislators, local authorities, and communities themselves. Security is a system, not a single chair in Abuja and any argument that pretends otherwise oversimplifies a complex national problem.

The current security architecture should be overhaul for it failure in all ramifications. Why do we have so many redundant security like the police, nscdc,amotekun, vigilante, opc, dss and many others getting paid by the people's tax yet no commensurate value for their payment

What is the Governor doing? He cannot just sit there looking like a mumu while terrible crimes like this are going on in his domain!

Everyone knows the people carrying out these evil acts.

The practice of governors funding "logistics" for police operations is purely supplementary.Nigeria currently has a unitary federal police.All the security chiefs including the IG of police report to the president and the police budget is part of the large federal budget every year.Let's learn to call a spade what it is.The president was elected to do a good job not to give excuses.
N.B: There is consensus that the unitary federal police model has failed,which is why the president is urging the senate to amend the laws and approve state police.My displeasure is that it is not being handled speedily.

You’re correct that Nigeria currently operates a centralized federal police structure where the Inspector General ultimately answers to the presidency. No serious person disputes that the Commander in Chief carries national responsibility for security in Nigeria. But acknowledging that reality does not erase the operational role of states.

In practice, governors remain the chief security officers of their states. They chair state security councils, coordinate intelligence with police commands, fund vehicles, fuel, housing, and operational logistics, and work with local security outfits and community networks that provide the first layer of intelligence. Without that cooperation, federal forces often operate blind at the local level. That is exactly why the debate around state police has gained momentum. The current centralized model has clear limitations in a country as large and complex as Nigeria. The push to amend the law is meant to address those structural weaknesses so that policing becomes more responsive and locally grounded.

So yes citizens are right to demand results from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the federal government. But serious analysis must also recognize that security failures are rarely produced by a single office.

Tinupo and his gang of vultures are only strategizing to retain power in 2027 while the country burns to ashes.

The buck stops on the president's table.Stop the excuses.If we wake up tomorrow morning and find that Nigeria is the safest country on earth with the lowest murder/crime rate,we will sing his praises.As a people, we must learn to take responsibility and stop the usual whataboutism.

Community members also expressed frustration over what they describe as silence from their political representatives, alleging that their senator and member of the House of Representatives have yet to address the crisis beyond issuing condolence
Mr President is doing well,very soon kidnappers will become Seyi Tinubu's RIITN coordinator in Ekiti state,fear fear people.

If the politicians weren't complicit, they'll approve gun licence for everyone make everybody mind dey. The way corruption and crimes go reduce eh.

Not bad. How about Dead End?

Many Nigerians has died painfully within these 3 years and the govt is doing little or nothing to protect them.
The numbers of the deceased are the ones recorded..many death are not even on record and the politicians are more concerned about displaying the Tinubu logo than the Nigerian flag..patriotism my black as**

If I'm the indigen of that community, I would organise boys to invade and exterminate those kidnappers. This news is so annoying.
