Make one Igbo or Yoruba king say this. I won test something

MiamiLord:
Is it that the soldiers didn't see them coming from afar or what?
What's really going on in this country.
Everything is in total disarray


If you are a supporter of this bad government....God will keep punishing you

RIALITI:
I think the solution to this current problem is for Nigerians to stage a protest that "No security in Nigeria, No elections come 2027". All Nigerians should make it known to this polithiefcians that even when the tenure of this current administration runs out without any end to insecurity the military must take over.

It is obvious that we can't fight this insurgency with our paforated compromised democratic system. The current situation is a war not dialogue and only the military answers that perfectly. What these polithiefcians are doing now is fighting cancer with paracetamol.

NOTE: It is time to put on hold party rulership in this country, let only an entity that can wage war against external and internal enemies take stage until we return to where we once belong.

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.

dominique:
Who are the people in charge of the drones? They should be made to pay for it.

ILoveNG:
Everyone knows that you don’t genuinely care about anything aside the Election of your Agulu fraud.

You guys don’t even like the people of other regions so why the fruitless unreal love of telling them who to vote or not vote for.

From the countless possible factors that anyone can think of, linking every human problems to voting and election gave you people up. Limited minds.

From my observation The lesson never even started,na just 49 dey bush,let's keep counting and waiting for Igboho and Government

kingthreat:
Please keep your Nnamdi Kanu crap to yourself. Na una choose to crown am una messiah and that is none of the rest of Nigeria's business.

Nastrademus:
The only zone left out of this bandits trouble are the south east, thanks to nnamdi Kanu's foresight

kingthreat:
The North has accepted kidnapping by bandits as a way of life.
It is left for the Southwest to determine if they will accept this or not.
My prayer is that the planned rescue of the kidnapped children is successful. Giving bandits hundreds of millions will be used by them to buy more weapons and extend their enterprise.

geoworldedu:
You were formerly there defending evil. Now they have carted you away. May the government you served defend you.

Antoeni:
A man joined terrorism, killed people under duress so he's worthy of pardon but another man prevented terrorists from attacking his people and he got arrested. DOOM OF A NATION

MindHacker9009:
Having a Bible under your Pillow defends against it

zinaunreal:
Considering what part of Nigeria he is from, I'm not surprised 😆

WhiteIverson:
It seems the people of the Southwest are aware of the people who carry out the kidnappings but still allow them to live amongst them. They are even given traditional titles.

That means na family affair. No wonder Tinubu isn't bothered.

Toh make una enjoy

Boladogailese:
So you mean I can’t mekwe with my fellow woman?

givedemwotowoto:
A teacher was beheaded in Oyo state but everyone is quiet.
