You just want to defend trash.
But you mustn't.
You can just shut up!


The last time civilian JTFs got hold of Boko Haram's weapons,
They turned into the terrorist group known as Lakurawa.

Unfortunately, the do carry AK47, and Even TAVON, but i doubt those in the Videos are VGN...

Is this where it's coming from?

I have decided to torture the trolls this year and I thought that's where it's coming from.

I just showed my followers the fruits of my effort a few minutes ago (on my diary).

I'm going to make the trolls work hard (they are desperately trying to get my attention), yet all their efforts will be in vain.

Check out the blank mentions from blocked trolls.


I've still got more Obidient threads reserved for tomorrow.

On a more serious note, even if the guys were vigilantes, this just goes to show that poor funding of the security forces has unintended consequences.

One thing I like to say is that if you do not pay the full price for power supply to the discos and gencos, you will pay the full price to the solar panel guy, the petrol station and the generator seller and repairer...for good light.

Same thing happening here, only this time, we dey see the failure of the government to fund and keep funding the police. Especially APC.

Yes, it is still tinubu and buhari's fault

In 2015, if Buhari had taken measures like removing subsidy on fuel and subsidy on electricity, and started fighting corruption, by now there would have been enough investment in the country to fix things well and properly. The country would have been rising, and there would have been more jobs by now.

But buhari, and now tinubu do not do long term planning. Also, the tax system is still broken and not yielding enough as it should

And here we are.

An army that gets 5 billion dollars per annum, and a police force that gets 1 billion dollars per annum, when it should be getting ten to fifty times that.

And at the end of the day, all the money used for paying vigilantes, and joint task force, is going to be taken away from other parts of the budget...and some of it would be chopped.

Plus one thing about paying millitias, as soon as the money becomes problematic, today's vigillante is tomorrow's criminal. Yes , goes for AMotekun and ESN or whatever they call themselves now.

We don't have a serious government .

I hope when we vote out APC the next government can do better

@Tenses , good evening, and may God bless you.

I do read your comments on Nairaland and must admit you sound stale and "uninspiringly" repetitive.
If the power companies have making losses or too low a profit yearly, what is atoping them from selling it to another team?
As it stands today, solar can give as low as N26.5/kwhr power if done right. Compare that to what exploitative power co onwers are asking for. They charge around N200/kwhr currently if i am not mistaken(been long i used PHCN).
You can best ve described as an IMF bot on a public forum.

Thats effectively $60B-$300B to secure an economy of how much again. Your sense of financial estimation points to the fact that you are likely an Ogboni man who has never worked an honest task in his entire life.

Yeah, that;s the point. Your government is useless precisely because it is not doing what is needed to make our economy so rich that it can cough out 300 bn dollars for proper defence and security.

Ah, another one.

Good evening, and thanks for being abusive. Have a good day.

If the cleric says they are terrorists then he is probably right
Who armed the Lakurawa terrorists under the Buhari regime? Buhari is from Katsina and there were no terrorists in the NW before him
The terrorists' effrontery has now extended to Yoruba land and it will extend all over the country at the current rate if nothing substantial is done
Let's see if state policing can save the North west.. It is worth waiting to see because the NW is going fast down the lane of Somalia.

I believe the Sheikh is not a fool and that he and his people are well armed with or without government license

My opinion is that the police officer was actually hailing the terrorists in order to spare himself from being shot by the bandits.

Brendaniel:
The truth is government is collapsing in northern Nigeria at an alarming rate, but some people choose to ignore it, another truth is injustice is one of the major cause of the problems of Nigeria but some people are not ready for that discussion.

Government is not only collapsing in the north but in the entire country!

You have time to respond to that moomoo?

But these one truly bandit I'm not sure thru will see police checkpoint passed through it without kidnapping them or fire a shot I somehow doubt it I don't I'm just saying what I think...

[quote author=Mattswaggz post=139826707]More clarification is needed here because the explanation way NPF give no clear at all....even the person near the camera man was saying "wadannan duk barayin daji ne" meaning "All these guys are bandits o" and the camera man fearfully responded "Aminu me yasa kake hakane?" Meaning "Aminu why are u behaving like this?"

Almost every blessed day at any given opportunity, the government and it's agencies are always giving the people more reasons not to trust them.....they talk as if they're dealing with kids....When will such gross display of being irresponsible by the government and it's agencies stop?......do they take Nigerians for fools or what?.

No smoke without fire. Continue to explain I'm not convinced. So katsina Govt has bought motor cycles for their vigilantes? CONGRATULATIONS Gov'nor Radda!

There was a country

It baffles me how a sane person will gladly support failure tinubu. I just dey wonder 🤔

Ten Reasons I Will Be Voting For President Tinubu In 2027 by CharlesCNG
1. He took the hardest economic decisions instead of preserving a lie.
Removing fuel subsidy and liberalising FX were painful, but they addressed distortions that had become fiscally unsustainable. Reuters has consistently reported that these reforms were harsh, but central to stabilising public finances and investor confidence.

2. The economy is hurting less chaotically than before.
The pain is real, but macro indicators have improved: Reuters reported a 2024 balance-of-payments surplus, and reserves rose sharply into 2025–2026. A president should be judged not only by comfort today, but by whether he is rebuilding the foundation.

3. He made states financially stronger.
FAAC distributions have risen significantly since subsidy removal. The Finance Ministry reported **₦1.578 trillion** shared in March 2025 alone, while later analysis showed total FAAC allocations rose sharply year-on-year. States now have more money; the real question is whether governors are using it well.

4. He pushed the most serious progress yet on state police.
Reuters reported on **June 11, 2026** that Nigeria’s parliament advanced the constitutional bill enabling state police, with Tinubu backing it. That is not a slogan; it is concrete movement on a reform Nigerians have debated for years.

5. He has moved power supply forward, even if the sector is not yet fixed.
Reuters reported Nigeria’s electricity output surged to nearly **6,000 MW** in March 2025 after grid-overhaul progress. Government also approved **₦185 billion** to clear gas debts and support generation. In power, progress is not perfection, but progress still counts.

6. He kept higher education more stable than the ASUU-darkness era Nigerians remember.
Nigeria suffered an **eight-month ASUU strike in 2022** before Tinubu. Since he took office, there have been disputes and warning actions, but not a repeat of that prolonged nationwide paralysis. He also approved part-payment of withheld salaries to lecturers in 2023 to cool tensions.

7[b]. He opened a real student-support pipeline.[/b]
Tinubu signed the reworked student-loan law in 2024, and by April 2026 reporting said **1.38 million beneficiaries** had received support amounting to over **₦242 billion**. That is not theory; that is direct educational intervention at scale.

8. He raised the minimum wage instead of pretending wages could remain frozen.
Reuters reported the federal minimum wage process culminated in a higher floor after difficult negotiations. It does not solve everything, but it matters in a reform period where households are under pressure.

9. He is building long-term economic tools, not only making speeches.
Reuters reported new moves on consumer credit and a national credit-guarantee framework to widen access to finance for citizens and businesses. That is the kind of structural support that matters if growth is to become more broad-based.

10[b]. He governs like a man carrying the burden of office, not like a protest candidate performing outrage.[/b]
Tinubu may not be perfect, but he has shown willingness to take politically costly decisions, push reforms, negotiate wages, decentralise policing, strengthen state finances, and keep working through turbulence. Nigeria needs endurance, not just excitement.

Conclusion:
President Tinubu inherited a distorted economy, a weak power system, overstretched public finance, and a long security crisis. He has not solved everything, but he has moved on difficult reforms, strengthened state revenues, pushed power and policing reform, avoided a repeat of the old ASUU paralysis, and expanded support through wages and student loans. **That is why I will be voting for him in 2027: not because the journey is painless, but because the direction is serious.**

Just because of they want to cover up nonsense, see am?

It was why I was never in agreement with all these vigilantes nonsense recruited talk. Why do we have the police , army and others in the first place? The vigilante nonsense is just a ploy to confuse everyone and cover up their involvement. I repeat, those emergency trained terrorists won't stand our military if they're truly serious. Nigeria is a force to reckon with everywhere except when these their children are concerned. E get why.

We all know vigilantes hardly get such heavy machines but wetin concern APC?

The video even has the person making it calling them what they were.

If APC win next election, I already dey cry dey look o, I go change to dey laugh dey look all of una.

Nairaland ban me again.

madridguy:
Sheikh Murtala Bello Asada Sokoto should take his sons there to be representing the Nigeria Police where there's bandits.

You expected a few policemen to face over 50 bandits? You guys preaching led to this madness so you should enjoy to the fullest.

Is that what you understand by the man's statement? Or you just want to mislead the public?
Did the man or anyone says the few policemen seen in that checkpoint should have fought thousands of the terrorists?
The bone of contention is the "blatant lie" by the Police authority calling the terrorists local vigilante.

TopBanter:
You guys don't get the concept of State policing. It is not about personnel alone but how modernly efficient a State can make it's Police force.

Policing is not about bodies alone. Our federal Police is at least 70 years behind Police forces in the West because of under-investment in it's capacity to fight crime.

Science and Tech, like DNA capacity and biometric-enabled CCTV Camera, is replacing manpower.

Say what you want. I am sure State police will be a game changer for the SW, because the people and leaders of the region are sincere and peace-loving, even as I can't speak for any other region. We will see.

What is it with you guys with State Police?
Look at what you are saying?
That the state police will be better equipped technologically and otherwise than the federal police?
You are probably living in the moon.
Show me one security outfit that the state and federal has that the state own is even near the Federal own not to talk of being better than.
Take Fire Service for instance,I have been to all states of the federation except 2 in the far north and one in the south west,none of them has a functional State Fire Service.In fact,if you see some of their stations, you will shed tears.They look moribund, dilapidated and bushy like abandoned properties.
You can't compare any of them with the Federal Fire Service in terms of personnel training and equipment.
Meanwhile,who told you that the personnel don't matter but equipment in any security outfit?
Go and see what Ebube Agwu and Udo Ka Chi are doing in the East,Amotekun and LAWMAN are doing in the West,Hisba in the North are doing to people businesses and abuse of human rights and thereafter their commandants would be found sleeping with somebody wife in the hotel and Compliance Boys are doing in the South like AKS.
All of them that I mentioned are untrained touts jumping inside a moving vehicle to drag key with the drivers with full passengers inside thereby endangering their lives and beating innocent citizens with sheath Matchets like c..lt initiation.
And these are the guys that will transition into your state police and you expect them to be different?

Nigeria police is the most corrupt in all our security agency

TopBanter:
How? The decay in our federal Police force is decades old and not Tinubu's fault.

Also, you guys don't want to understand ideology related to religion, culture and ethnicity affect policing as well.

What is Tinubu to do about Fulani policemen that have ethnic, ideological and cultural sympathy for Fulani bandits and terrorists?

This is why State Policing is a great development. States, as much as possible, must employ indigenes into there State Police forces.

I would have thought Tinubu as president has a responsibility to reform the police for better service delivery. Or is reform only reserved for steps that impoverish the citizens?
How do you know the policeman is a Fulani man by tribe

No mind me, everybody no dey sabi everything sha. Has someone told you what it is yet? it is a video game. Google it

The police is tactically telling us that the bandits are officially recognized by this government.
chai, chai, chai this blood you are sharing there is God ooh there is God ooh, there is God ooh.
Make this government fear God and reduce their wickedness.

Thank you sir, someone has told me sir. May God bless u sir.

TopBanter:
This is why Presidnet Tinubu's effort on State Policing is to be applauded. Every State can create the police force they want.

Serious States, that genuinely want peace and security, can create professional and efficient police forces that will decimate crime while worthless State can endure with police that salutes terrorists and bandits.

Meaning that he failed as the C-in-C and now wants to delegate his responsibility of securing the country to state governors. The is insane. No wonder he didn't delegate El-Rufai to answer questions on his behalf at Chatham House.

This is despicable
