Secured with empty stomach

You're secure but your stomach is empty and hungry due to tinubu destructive policies and you called that being secure?


Who told you that a hungry man is secure?

A hungry man is never secured and this is what tinubu government has brought upon many Nigerians ..

Tinubu must go

All the states in the SW are there, including Kwara. Even the only SE state that managed to be there came a distant last after many other states. Little wonder Peter Obi is taking refuge in the SW after turning Anambra to New York.

What is Kwara doing there ?
A state that jihadians have sworn to devour while the Executive Governor applauds 👏!

Why was tinubu not at UNGA in USA? I guess trump made him feel scared and insecure.

Even though this thread is not about hunger, you managed to bring it in. Now, what did you lots said is the cause of insecurity? Is it that the insecurity in the SE is due to hunger? Why should billionaires be hungry? How is Tinubu’s non-attendance of UNGA related to this? Or you mean SE would have been safe if Tinubu had attended?

Kwara and Edo are not suppose to be on the list.

Seeing Kwara State and Edo State in this list makes it questionable and inaccurate.

Kwara? then Kogi and Niger should be there

I didn't even see Kwara. Immediately I saw Ogun I know say this one na kangaroo statistics.

The same oyo state that schools children were kidnapped, hold hostage for two months and teacher beheaded.

Or kwara state that terrorists has totally overun, dislodged almost the villages and hunt down their traditional rulers is a state that you say that is safe You must be joking

Even Ekiti and ondo are not spared from terrorists rampage.

It was bad in ondo to the extent that the governor has to impose curfew and ban any form of night life and activities be it party or night vigil.

Cross River should have been No. 1

Even Lagos is now dangerous due to areas boys who formerly extort from ordinary citizens

Abia state nko

Ogun state?

Not even Oni of ife..

Oduduwa can’t even gurrantee himself in ogun and we all know

Have the found the tennage girl .. that went to see Alfa.. na ogun same environment o.. talk more of Nigerians??

Hehehehe
This na joke of the century

Validated:
Even Lagos is now dangerous due to areas boys who formerly extort from ordinary citizens

And there are no area boys in the SE who kidnap non-Igbo commercial motorists under the guise of collecting dues?

This is a joke right 😆
See all the south west states are there including kwara

Lol. Every day they will arrive here to say "SW is gone".Never mind it is their region that is gone and worsening per insecurity.

Whereas the SW is the choice destination of most Nigerians wishing to leave their region for another. We can all see it now officially.

Lol. Funny how it is you guys always first and quickest to comment on anything to do with the SW with negatives specifically and doom-mongering.

Does not change the reality the SW, along with the SS, is the premier region of Nigeria. Safest, richest, most productive and most desired as a destination to live in for Nigerians from every corner of our nation.

Never the avoided and shunned SE. who/what God has blessed, no man can curse. Remember that. Lol.

Lol. This is about security. Discuss food on another thread. It is only those who do not know you here who will not understand your attempt at negativity here is because thread reveals the SW States and region as safest in Nigeria and you feel duty-bound to infuse bitterness against the glory of the SW.

Bruv, who God has blessed no man can curse. Keep up the hate and negativity but the Yorubas and the SW will keep soaring. Shebi you are seeing it here now as I have always told you?

"SW is gone etc" you people specifically shout daily online because such is your malevolent desire for us. Shebi you see official safety perception now ba?

Lol. Does the failure Obi have any other choice? They are the biggest enemies of each other. Be successful over there and you are a target for kidnapping, extortion, robbery etc.

Cubana Chief Priest confessed koro koro that wealthy Igbos are leaving the SE for the SW because they are being violently targeted by fellow Igbos to be robbed, kidnapped and extorted.

North East is not in Nigeria abi.

Check Gombe and Bauchi

That shows how bad security is under Soludo and Tinubu. That’s exactly what Obi is coming to fix. If a president from another tribe only secured his own region, how would you feel? That means, people's grievances are completely justified. Suffice it to say, Tinubu shouldn't expect votes from insecurity-ridden zones. After all, Tinubu holds the mandate to protect the nation, not Peter Obi.

Is it not Abuja where one-chanced robbers often kill, main and Rob their victims on daily basis. Notable cases were media personality Mesoma, etc

Was it not in Abuja that army general was killed in his house

Was it in Abuja that former super eagle coach rejected a land given to him because of insecurity

The list is too much.

East side and west coast disgracing themselves as usual

Can You Itemise 5 policies Tinubu made that you don't like, and I will tell you 10 benefits of those policies
