Ever since MURIC attempt to force sharia in the south west failed they have kept quiet and bandits attack in that region has increased sporadically.
This is why they should be investigated.

UncleAyo:
Any negotiation with Islamic terrorists is like postponing your own day of annihilation. Ransom paid to them will be used to buy even more weapon they will use to eventually destroy you.

Ask yourself, will USA pay ransom to a terrorist group, will Israel pay ransom to a terrorist group? What serious country pay ransom to terrorist group?


Funny sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria said they rehabilitated terrorists and then Integrate them into the army. Common sense they say is not common.

What Practical Steps Should Southwest States Take Against Banditry and Terrorism?
https://www.nairaland.com/8685199/what-practical-steps-should-southwest

Please, make your suggestion also on that thread. An authorised person may be reading this too and your contributions will be of help

For me

1. Establish a Comprehensive Resident Identity System

The Each State Government should develop a comprehensive resident identity and address verification system to improve security, planning, and service delivery. Every resident should be encouraged to register through a centralized database linked to verified residential addresses. This system will assist law enforcement agencies in identifying criminal elements, tracking suspicious activities, and improving emergency response capabilities while respecting constitutional rights and privacy protections.

2. Registration and Regulation of Herders

All herders operating within Each State should be required to register with the State Government and the relevant Local Government Authorities before engaging in grazing or livestock activities. Registration should include biometric identification, location of operation, livestock records, and compliance with state regulations. This measure will promote accountability, reduce farmer-herder conflicts, and help security agencies identify unauthorized or suspicious activities.

3. Monitoring and Prevention of Violent Extremism

The government should strengthen collaboration between security agencies, community leaders, and religious organizations to identify and prevent violent extremism. Authorities should monitor and investigate individuals or organizations suspected of supporting terrorism, radicalization, or violent activities, regardless of religious affiliation. Any person found to be promoting or financing terrorism should face prosecution in accordance with Nigerian law.

4. Promote Agricultural Self-Sufficiency

Each Southwest State should invest heavily in agriculture to enhance food security and create employment opportunities. Government support should include access to improved seedlings, mechanized farming, irrigation systems, agricultural training, storage facilities, and access to markets. Increased agricultural productivity will reduce economic vulnerabilities and strengthen rural communities.

5. Develop a Community and Neighbourhood Intelligence Network

A structured neighbourhood intelligence network should be established across communities in each state State. Residents, community leaders, traditional institutions, and security agencies should work together to identify emerging security threats and share relevant information. Such a system should operate within legal frameworks and emphasize the protection of citizens' rights.

6. Eliminate Illegal Settlements in Deep Forest Areas

The government should conduct a comprehensive survey of forest reserves and remote settlements. Unauthorized settlements established in deep forests, particularly those linked to criminal activities, should be dismantled through lawful procedures. Forest reserves should be regularly monitored and patrolled to prevent their use as safe havens for kidnappers, bandits, terrorists, and other criminal groups.

7. Swift Prosecution of Serious Crimes

The State Government should strengthen collaboration with the judiciary and security agencies to ensure the swift investigation and prosecution of kidnapping, terrorism, banditry, illegal arms trafficking, and organized crime. Fast-track procedures should be considered for cases involving serious threats to public safety while ensuring due process and fair trials.

8. Establish Formal Reporting Channels for Suspicious Activities

Multiple reporting channels should be created to enable citizens to report suspicious activities safely and confidentially. These channels may include dedicated hotlines, mobile applications, community liaison officers, and local security committees. Public awareness campaigns should educate citizens on how and when to report security concerns.

9. Promote Civic Education and Constitutional Values

Schools across each State should strengthen civic education programs that teach constitutional rights, responsibilities of citizenship, peaceful coexistence, tolerance, and respect for the rule of law. Young people should be equipped with the knowledge and values necessary to contribute positively to society and resist extremist influences.

10. Prosecute Incitement to Violence

The government should adopt a zero-tolerance approach toward incitement to violence, hatred, terrorism, or public disorder. Individuals who promote violence through public speeches, religious gatherings, traditional institutions, political platforms, social media, or any other means should be investigated and prosecuted according to the law, regardless of their status or background.

11. Expand Vocational and Technical Education

Each State should significantly expand vocational and technical education opportunities to equip young people with practical skills for employment and entrepreneurship. Training programs should focus on modern agriculture, information technology, construction, renewable energy, manufacturing, and other high-demand sectors. Empowering youth economically will reduce vulnerability to recruitment by criminal organizations and extremist groups.

Government made this far. I mean una no dey shame atall? How do you travel? How do you relate with other citizens? Knowing the atrocities happening in your country? How can a teacher, a harmless civilian be beheaded and videos and pictures are going viral, without a responsible government fetching them out. Ooooooh too bad. Nigeria government please wake up. You guys are travelling naw, from executive down to judiciary, it's not that you don't use to see good things in those countries but because of your wickedness and greed, you can not apply any to your country

Fetch them out aggressively and allow them kpai the children.
Does that make sense to you.

Give them everything they ask for, even the law they said they want, give it to Oyo people, this is the only way to proclaim Islam afterall they invited their dad Gumi and the aftermath of Gumi's visitation is what they are seeing more like the aftermath of his mandate is what the whole Nigeria is collecting. So give them everything they want!

At least that evil as curtail to reduce the crises in hand. Thank you for reminder

You wear the coat of wickedness, you want to hide under Sharia Law. God punish you all and your sponsors.

Same tactics Bola Tinubu and the APC used in getting rid of the Goodluck Jonathan administration.... Full circle don evolve!

➜Does pvc count? Stop this fallacy... Communism is the only way

Are you joking? Islamism is already butchering you all like there is no value to you. Yet, you suggest communism, an equally evil scheme as an alternative?

Bluna:
Please don't give them weapons. They will use the same weapon to commit another one.

That is not even the worst.
They are demanding for LAWS to be made/amended.
That is truly frightening.

Laws and agendas go hand in glove.
This is beyond kidnapping for profit.
This is violent abduction for restructuring, for control, to gain equal power with government.
This are the seeds of sedition.

No PVC is saving this country.

Insecurity was an APC project using Boko Haram against Goodluck.

Ever since, it has spread and fragmented into different factions,

APC was, and still insecurity.

The problem is not the vote, I know vast majority Nigerians will not vote Tinubu.

But my worry or concern is the rigging machinery. These guys just sit at home and write results and change results that don't favour them at the collation centers.
This is the problem.

How can Nigerians ensure results are not changed at INEC collation centers?

It's not about votes, it's about defending the vote and ensuring it counts.

The solution to this problem is not get your PVC. The solution is a deadly rescue operation or negotiate with terrorists. It's not as if the next government won't experience this madness.

Tinubu can save his name from all these and apply military operations with the help of the US military. Even if some or all the children die, make them a hero. Ban the payment of ransom for kidnap anywhere in the country. Any family caught paying ransom for kidnapped family members will go to jail.

What's the meaning of all this nonsense? These fools cannot continue to hold the country hostage. The day they realise that Nigerians have stopped paying ransom for kidnap, they'll run out of criminal ideas. After all, we will all die someday.

God will nava 4giv d British for putting us 2gether with dis wicked pple... No change of government or president can stop dis accept everybody goes he's own region nd manage dem selves becos we hv d/f ideologies nd way of life... He we are seeing it as terrorism nd wicked far north de are seeing it as fill filling d course of Islam through jihad for d expansion of their own religion d/f pple d/f region d/f ideologies nd way of life... D day we rise against dis evil 2gether we will be free but 4 nw we just de play...🥺🥺🥺

Still some ignorant people will still vote APC or allow them to rig election

They're doing it because they know they're dealing with a weak government with weak institutions and weak citizens - a precursor to a failed state.

Opposition should start rallying the international community by letting them know that without their active involvement that the election of 2027 will be another sham just like 2023. INEC may not switch off IREV this time, but APC will still find a way to manipulate the result.

Trump's US and EU should not just act as observers but monitors to ensure that no nonsense happens.

Even though people collect their PVC to vote, it doesn't still stop terrorism,I repeat again,it doesn't stop terrorism, Goodluck Jonathan was voted out yet terrorism became so terrible.
Even you vote out Tinubu tomorrow there will be complains of terror and same you will say get PVC let's vote them out again, my question is, For how long?
As a Nigerian our best bet is first 1. stop negotiations with them completely, 2. strengthen community policing, 3. ban open grazing because they could be spies to this terrorist,4. Ban Okada riding as public transport in communities 5. Any non community ingenious person should be made to register for profiling at the local government. And lots more,watch and see how things turn around for good.
Right from inception the northern political elite created this, El-rufai threatened to make this government unbearable just like they did to Goodluck Jonathan, so will you blame this government for insecurity, the northern elites uses this terror to hold on power n to have control, because they are afraid that Nigeria could be divided. So the problem is from the Northern political elite, DSS should track n expose them one after the other, that's just the best thing to do.
