Every thing happing is a political chess game

Jayhome24:
Makinde body language showed he has hand in all these painful madness to score a political point cus he was the first to officially accepted sharia in his state in entire South, his state is under fire and he was buy about APM presidential ticket, he claimed he bought N7.5b drones pls where are they? just yesterday he just remembered yo visit the victim family this made me remember how this same apc masterminded Chibok abduction to hurt Gej.

I'm sorry Makinde body language speaks volume. Sadly the Fed govt were to slow to go for a rescue we can't wait any further anylonger we want those kids back home and for Islam I reserved my comment but one day is one day.

Are you for real? If Makinde should drop his presidential ambition then why shouldn't Tinubu do the same? He's the Commander-in-Chief, not Makinde. This won't be first time such incident will be happening under Tinubu's watch. It has happened severally in Borno, Katsina, Kaduna, Niger, Kogi, Kwara, etc. I guess all the governors in these states are to blame and they should all drop their individual aspirations.

Forest guard bawo. Wetin do the security agency wey dey collect monthly salary?.... You deploy Forest guard and announce it.

No one is telling givt to divulge operational details to the public, dont you see crisis situtions in US where CNN will be broadcasting updates on incidents with security and govt officials giving updates on whats being done to salvage the situation..... the security agencies dont need to tell you exact operational info.I am talking about aesthetics these kind of thing does only one thing PR for govt, this is an election season, do you know how much mileage the govt would have gotten,it gives the people a sense of self worth,this should be proven that this is western Nigeria and we dont condone such nonsense here......even if the kids gets rescued it doesn't add anything to tinubu's anymore.

You're just being emotional and reactionary. This is not GEJ. This is Bola Tinubu. No politics induced terrorism will stop this moving train.

The thunder wey go 🔥 you

Both the fg and oysg are complicit this even shows makinde's incompetence and I always get angry when people are trying to absolve him....for petes sake he is the CSO of the state, where are the amotekun he says he funds?.....it equally took him 2 weeks to visit the place when he heard the fg was coming.

Or the FG visited after he went there
Is this the first time the FG is visiting victims after the gov visited
Stop telling lies. There's nothing like CSO of a state in the constitution. All forceful instrument of law enforcement are under the control of your god ego occupies the office of president. Even he said much when Jonathan was president

Chucks13:
Pls where is N7.5Billion drones Makinde said he procured or Oyo safety few months ago and those useless confused onuku were praising him?

I swear after 2027 done and gone nothing will stop us from sending people like Makinde to jail its a promise.

You always use "us" "we" to feel among
Why don't you use "I" let's know who you are in the scheme of things
Inconsequential zone bee feeling funky

For what he has done with the economy, no i won't but for insecurity i will continue to put him on the spot..... I am not obidient who sees no wrong in obi and sees no right in his opponents....I even acknowledge obi fir somethings I have seen him personally done but that doesn't mean I will vote him.....life has to have a balance.

What has he done with the economy
Folks are taking to rotten shawa to survive
The only thing they brag about is that they saw it coming and adapted to the taste beforehand

Hello how does the word "us" or "we" your headache? How does it concerns you? You will understand better after 2027 election who is "us" and who are the "we", ok.

Those kidnapped students certainly aren't in Oyo state anymore. Without equivocating, Tinubu is the worst leader this country has ever had. Buhari was terrible but he wasn't this bad.
Is the black man dumb? Let's be serious now. Why is there no successful black state anywhere on earth? Why?

Mind you, this same NSA has placed a gag order on media houses not to report negative news of banditry and terrorism because it will embarrass the president. Shame! Shame!!

SHUT UP AND STOP TALKING RUBBISH ABOUT "BLACK COUNTRIES".

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT "BLACK COUNTRIES" APART FROM THE CNN PROPAGANDA YOU WATCH?

NAME THE BLACK COUNTRIES YOU HAVE VISITED OR RESEARCHED.

JUST SHUT UP, OKAY?

After 2 weeks,this us very poor from tinubu,there are so many people around the president that needs to go.....what happened to making this kidnapping incident the most trending news in the country with live updates from the very epi center,Nigerians seeing troops being mobilised with a temporary base with a command and control center......people seeing movements into the forest,with helicopters hovering and drones showing surveillance footage with atleast 2 daily updates by state and security officials......this would give Nigerians a sense of security and believe the govt is really concerned about their safety but what do we get,rather belated response,visits and photo ops with empty promises that elicits no hope in the people.

Rubbish talk- all na for Political shenanigans
Or Do You think Recruitment, Assessments of Personnel and
Deployments of Security Personnel Are quick jack⁉️
Some of you just de yan- on Social Media with gaulible, without making any Sense !
Even in Real Employment of Labour, in an Office environment,it takes Months and takes time, Money and Logistics,
Not to Talk of A New Security Outfit - Such as Forest-Guards and how do you even Train them in such a Short Period ⁉️
• Thanks to President Tinubu - For your Pro- Activeness -On This Particular Security Response matters.
•More , importantly,let those Innocent Children kidnapped be Brought Back to Oyo State.

Thanks for the engagement. First, let me just clear the air on one thing: I am not speaking for the government at all. I am neither a politician nor a government appointee, so I have no brief to defend anyone. I am just looking at this strictly from a professional and civic angle, especially regarding how security operations run versus how public communication should be handled during a major crisis like this.

To be honest, you made some very solid points that I completely agree with. You are spot on about the government losing goodwill and completely mismanaging the narrative. Seeing top officials dotting around in agbada looking like special guests at an owambe while families are in trauma is truly nauseating and deeply embarrassing. You are totally right that when leadership takes weeks to show empathy or doesn't let the public see law enforcement actively moving on the ground—the way they do during crises in the US—it creates a massive vacuum. It makes the state look incredibly complacent and incompetent, and that critique of the administrative optics is 100% valid.
Where we need to look closer, though, is the actual mechanics of the security operations you mentioned, because the context is a bit different from what is happening in Oyo. Take the Munich Olympics incident and Operation Wrath of God that you brought up. That was an international, decades-long covert assassination campaign hunting down targets across Europe and the Middle East years after the event. It wasn't an active, domestic hostage rescue mission. In Oyo, we are dealing with a live, local kidnapping where the absolute, immediate priority is getting living victims out of a specific forest or terrain safely. The operational rules for these two scenarios are completely different.

Even if we look at the Entebbe rescue operation in 1976 which you also mentioned, the same rule applied. That was a lightning-fast commando raid done in total secrecy on foreign soil. The Israeli military didn't give the public or the media live updates about troop strength, the terrain, or the routes they were taking while the operation was brewing. If they had broadcasted those details beforehand, the hijackers would have just executed the hostages on the spot.

That is exactly why tactical details have to be kept under wraps, even if it is incredibly frustrating for those of us watching from the outside. The police or military command cannot come out to tell the public how many men are on the ground, the routes they are taking, or exactly what they know about the kidnappers' positioning while the operation is active. These criminal networks and terrorists track the news and social media constantly. Giving out those specific details live on TV effectively hands the adversary the operational blueprint, which immediately compromises the safety of the troops and puts the lives of those innocent victims in direct danger.

I completely agree with you that the delay and the communication gaps from the leadership have been a massive embarrassment, and people have every right to feel secure and see that the state is capable. But there is a very fine line between demanding better public empathy and crisis management from political leaders, and demanding tactical data that belongs strictly in a secure command center. Our ultimate goal is to see those victims returned safely to their families, and achieving that requires absolute operational discretion on the back end, even while we rightly continue to hold the administration accountable for their general incompetence.

Whats the correlation between the Munich incident and domestic terror we are talking about.....who is even asking the military to kill the terrorists today today........if you call me young,I appreciate that because I want to stay young for as long as possible but I will tell you about other covert mossed ops such as the entebbe rescue operation in the 70s,the decades long hunt for nazi commanders across the globe.

That is mossed,thats covert,this kidnap incident would have its covert side on the back end,no one is telling NIA or DMI to come and be telling us live updates,no! Far from it.

But the police,army command can tell us how many men are on ground, details of the terrain,what they know about the kidnappers,the routes they took etc.....the govt has lost a lot of goodwill overtime that people no longer believe what govt says but majority believe what they see even if its a lie.

You showing me NSA and CoS in agbada Dotting all over the place like special guests at an owambe event is nauseating to be honest more disconcerting is that it even took them 2 weeks to come out to address the people,haba!!

This has brought nothing but embarrassment tobthe govt, even if the kids gets rescued today nobody will care anymore but what will keep ringing in people's minds is the incompetence of govt to have allowed this happen in the first place putting those children and their families through so much trauma.....thats tbe narrative that govt should have seized and deployed to change.....we see shooting incidences in america and within 24 hrs you are already getting live feeds from the scene with law enforcement seen moving around doing their jobs and speaking to the public,this gives a sense of self worth and security and that govt is capable and not complacent.....imagine something bad happens to any of the remaining victims,God forbid.....what the people will keep in their heads is that govt responded too late.

The scale of the information i am talking about doesn't have to be anything elaborate or operation specific.......in info management there are so many ways to say a lot without saying nothing......let the optics do 80% of tbe talking,thats more than sufficient.......look at Gbajabiamila saying rubbish about 1k forest guards,does he have any idea how ridiculous he sounds...... ..Now the tinubu govt is in a far bigger mess right now on this kidnap incident than gej was with chibok.....its his home turf and ibadan is far more visible than maiduguri.......the fg had wasted too much time......if they had done the needful earlier on,the people wouldn't be feeling the gaps with conspiracy theories and propaganda.

You jeopardize the effort of the military by asking government to posting footages of all you mentioned above.

zoghys:
It's obvious tinubu has no idea how to stop insecurity in Nigeria. This measure is just not well thought of but shows the president is clueless. Its laughable bringing in 1000 forest guard whom probably won't be well funded and equiped to face those sets of bastards called bandits and kidnappers. This move if care is not taken will worsen the situation rather than help solve the problem.

Pray make forest guard no use his shiny new weapon turn to kidnapper. After all, their salary will be close to the minimum wage.

AMINDA:
Give it a little time, your eyes will soon be open and you will see what Nigerians are saying. The president who moves in a 70 SUV convoy cannot find unbranded vehicles for his special delegation to visit the community. They had to show up in renewed hope vehicles. Tinubu clearly has his priorities and politicking is top on the list. What a tragedy!

Do not be deceived. This is his alternative account which he created to criticise the government, his other account is helinues, HacheNoire and PigTormentor, those ones are used for Sycophancy.

It took him two weeks..... 14 days..... Imagine

Long overdue

Quit that crap,this is the 21st century.....just today I was watching cnn live report from the theatre in Ukraine right there with the men on the war front.....i can tell you off the tip of my finger how many aircraft carriers and their locations in the gulf ,how many jets and what type,how many bases the US has in the entire gulf......the IDF advance in Lebanon and their positions is all in public space and there are daily reports.....but when it comes to your own military you begin to classify information, it means how poorly run our military is and and how we have been unable to evolve.
