Some people seem not to still get it, there are 2 major reasons why I gave up on the unity of Nigeria:

1. The Islamic northern ideology

2. The tribal south western ideology

Most of the problems and insecurity you see today in Nigeria is as a result of the 2 listed ideologies above, as long as these 2 ideologies are carried by these 2 sets of people, I doubt Nigeria will ever make progress the way it should, why it is more prevalent since 2015 is because these 2 sets of group got into explicit partnership for the first time since after the civil war in a democratic settings, so there was no military ideology or intervention to water down or restrain their ideological agendas, so it's like a free bazaar of ideological display, sadly this is what they call sophisticated politics which is destroying the country.

The PDP government tried to to manage them, reason why they ended up hating PDP as a party so much because the founding fathers of PDP like OBJ were more nationalistic in ideology, the very bad part of it is that the partnership of these 2 regions did in order to achieve religious and tribal supremacy over others is hurting and backfiring on them so badly because it all stems from injustice and hatred.

But somehow it looks like some of them are very comfortable and satisfied with it as long as they believe they are achieving their supremacy agenda, That was why it looked like Buharis hands were tied for 8 years in solving these issues and now Tinubu is towing the same path.

l agree with you, this is a self inflicted epidemic.

Initially, they thought it was the best thing to do to kick Jonathan out of power, they brought in Buhari and he couldn't get round the issue, now TINUBU too is overwhelmed with the same issue.

Are they not seeing how lsreali government is responding to the useless Ayacriminals in the middle east

Why don't you follow the same path the lsreali government is doing and bomb all the terrorists locations in different parts of Nigeria

I , only feel for some of my family members and friends still trapped in that failed country

I am glad to have left the country decades ago but I feel so sad with the rubbish going daily in Nigeria

Nigeria is a failed state after the order of Syria ,Afghanistan , Libya , Yemen , lran etc sad
There are over 200 million people in Nigeria, and you being out of there makes you no better than them.
If you despise it too much, then stop bothering about what goes on there.

50 elderly people from Magamin Diddi village in Magami/Faru ward of Maradun Local Government Area have been kidnapped while on reconciliation mission.

Jammo, the bandits’ kingpin in charge of Muntsira Forest in Maradun LGA of Zamfara, reportedly kidnapped them.

The chairman of Maradun Local Government, Hon. Bello Dosara, confirmed the incident to Daily Trust, but said the people decided to meet with the bandit kingpin without government’s clearance.

“We are against reconciliation with the bandits and Governor Dauda Lawal never supported that, but unknown to us the people chose to go on with it,” Dosara said.

Dosara further said the bandits’ kingpin blocked the village access to market, but he constantly maintained giving them weekly security backup to come to the market and return home.

“I wonder why, how they go and meet their rivals, they block access to the market and I support them with security every week,” Dosara expressed his worries.

The council chairman further confirmed the release of 11 people, while the remaining 39 are still in capacity.

“He released some to just brief the people on the unfortunate incident,” he added.

Also speaking, the Councilor of Magami/Faru ward, Bello Husseini revealed that previously the bandits kingpin Jammo who is terrorizing the area had an encounter with the Zamfara State security outfit ‘Askarawa” where they killed two of his lieutenants and catered away their rifles.

However, during the last fasting period, the bandits, who were on a reprisal attack, also killed two Askarawa personnel and took away their rifles.

“You see we are one to one, they killed two of us and took away their rifles and we also killed them and possessed their firearms initially,” Husseini said.

Husseini added that the bandit Kingpin requested for reconciliation after one of his boys was killed in a recent military operations at Kandare village, which the people granted on their own against the government policy.

According to him, the communities sent in a 50-man committee and on their arrival, Jamm betrayed and kidnapped them but later released 11 people.

Hon. Husseini said Jammo is currently demanding N24 million for the three seized rifles.

“We are against any form of reconciliation because we know they are not trustworthy, they can speak one true statement against a hundred lies.”

“The people he held hostage were elderly and he had no reason to hold them hostage; he betrayed them by saying he is tired of banditry and opted for reconciliation,” Husseini said.

The Councillor further stated that he migrated from his ward due to insecurity despite that he is against reconciliation in whatever form.

The chairman and the Councilor jointly called on government and security forces to launch an attack on the “Dajin Natsira” as the bandits never experienced confrontation throughout the history of banditry in Zamfara state.

“They have never been attacked by any security forces and we are optimistic that if the government wants to help these people, one patrol five kilometers away from the village will yield a very good positive result.”

“Whenever the forest was bombed, 6 local government areas out of the 14 in the state such as Talata Mafara, Bakura, Anka, Gummi, Bukkuyum, Maru and Bungudu will definitely be peaceful.”

They also urged Governor Lawal and State minister for Defence Bello Matawalle to come to their aid.

Hon. Husseini said Jammo was the overall ruler of the Dajin Natsira which comprises Bayan ruwa, Kwargwaro, Aljumma Fulani, Gidan Dawa and Kyetare but each segment has their own leader.

The leaders of ALL the bandit camps in Zamfara are foreign Fula militia bandits who have always used surveillance drones and CCTVs even when Buhari was the President. The fighting and kidnappings going on in Zamfara State involves the foreign Fulas and the indigenous majority Hausa people who are the victims of robberies and kidnappings. General Christopher Musa alluded to this same FACT (before he was retired from the Army) in a video interview in early 2025 when he granted an interview.

So, these facts are known to the military and intelligence agencies and the NEXT thing is to totally use surveillance and attack infrared drones to eliminate the foreign Fula militia bandits camps in the Hausa States of the North East such as Zamfara, Kaduna, Katsina, Jigawa, Kano State borders with Katsina, etc, leading into the Middle Belt States of Niger State, Kwara North, Kogi, Plateau, etc.

The genesis,root cause and bedrock of terrorism and banditry was sharia law and if I'm not making mistake the first governor to start sharia law was former governor Yerima of zamfara State during Obasanjo's regime a PDP president. Had it been Obasanjo stood against it that time it will not become a monster difficult to curtail now but as you rightly said Obasanjo trying to be a nationalist president who want to continue to be in good books of the northerners who brought him to power ignored him and looks on and many of us that time believe that is the best response.

Ironically since they put one former governor inside black maria and deposited him inside kuje prison, the kidnapping in this country has skyrocketed to insane heights.

That same man once said earlier this year "I put Tinubu in power and I'm going to remove him."

They'll have to reconcile with the bandits first, so sad. We'd expect that Atiku who's also Fulani should be speaking to them in their language and frequently preaching to them, showing them the damage they're doing to the Fulani tribe. But since he somehow thinks this is political ammunition, he's never said one word against them.
Why did he instruct his social media handler to delete the post he made initially for Deborah against her killers? Make he explain that one very well first
