It's tribal for some tribes to abuse and condone abuse! The Ọmọluabi generation do not abuse. The settle disputes amicably!

CJStarz:
Davido for use NWA (child) BINGO.
Nwa is singular, Umu (children) is plural.

In Igbo land, Bingo is a generic name for dogs.
Inotherwords, Reno be dog pikin

Publicity Helps Terrorists. It Does Not Pressure Them. They Treasure it!

It is a very big mistake to think that publicity, or global outrage, pressures terrorists. Quite the contrary. They relish it! They thrive on it. The late British Prime Minister, Baroness Thatcher, put it best when she said, "Publicity is the oxygen of terrorism."

Davido means well, but doing what he did, which I will not elaborate on, because my readers know what I am referring to, actually helps the terrorists who took those children more than it aids the rescue of the kids and their teachers.

Terrorists want publicity. That is how they spread terror. If you do not know about their terrifying acts, they can't have the power of terror over you.

Publicity, however well-intended, always works in the favour of terrorists by increasing their ability to incite fear in the public and pressure governments to give in to their demands by outraging the global community, who then put pressure, not on the evil terrorists, but on civil governments.

I was a Presidential spokesman under President Jonathan, and the rescue efforts for the #ChibokGirls were hampered the day Michelle Obama held up the #BringBackOurGirls banner, making it a cause célèbre.

From that point on, the girls became so high profile that it was more profitable, from a terror standpoint, for Boko Haram to hold on to them at whatever costs.

If #BringBackOurGirls had not been made such a global phenomenon, their abductors would not have increased security around the girls and separated them, making it more difficult for security forces to rescue them.

It is not as though the Nigerian government is resting on its oars in the present case. Every effort is being made to secure the release of the children and their teachers abducted from the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities.

We recently saw the stuff our security forces are made up of when they rescued the sister of the immediate past power minister, Mr. Adebayo Adelabu, and her children.

What this situation requires is not publicity, especially on a global stage. That is what the terrorists want. And a critical mass of Nigerians are very emotional people and may not understand the dynamics at play here. As such, they may start insulting and attacking me for saying this without pausing to understand the situation.

For four years, I travelled around the world, meeting world leaders in my effort to secure Leah Sharibu's release. I did not collect a dime from anybody and funded this effort myself.

I even released a charity single that I composed and produced with the late Onyeka Onwenu, and went to Nepal to attempt an Everest Climb.

However, after meeting two serving British Prime Ministers, and Canadian and Spanish Prime Ministers, an Icelandic Minister, as well as several Caribbean leaders, I was informed by top level security officials that my activities were actually making Leah Sharibu's release less likely, because by raising her profile, I was making her too valuable as a hostage to her captors, who would rather use the global publicity I was getting for her to raise funds, recruit more terrorists and project themselves.

And when my attention was directed to the UNESCO Handbook for Journalists on Terrorism Coverage, I was mortified with what I read. That piece of literature is very clear on how terrorism thrives the more journalists, celebrities, and politicians publicise acts of terror. In fact, the more you do, the more likely you will have reoccurrences.

That is why I stopped the publicity aspect of the #FreeLeahSharibu campaign.

Look at it this way. If you are a terrorist and are seeking publicity for your cause, to create a larger-than-life image and incite fear in the public, why would you release the very hostages who are responsible for the publicity you are getting?

I wish Nigerians could look at this in a sentient manner instead of being emotional over an issue that we can only resolve if we are rational!

This is why he doesn't get respected like the other artists
He talks damn too much

EponObi:
This Davido and media performances sha.

And the youths keep falling for it. He's part of the ruling class. His Uncle Adeleke, the Osun state governor has declared support for the APC and Tinubu, Davido no say pim.

And no be say his uncle is even excellent in governance. Yet, when campaign starts, the same Davido will wear slippers and party ankara to dance and gyrate the youths to vote for his uncle.

He went to Aso Villa with his family to beg for political favors and was just shining teeth at Tinubu like a teenage boy wey see him crush. He came out and started his social media performances again. If you think he is standing with the you/masses/youths, I have the world cup that CR7 won to sell to you.

Tinubu in his Yoruba mind be like, "wetin? shey dog bite you ni?"
