The US under Mr Biden left Afghanistan in a hurry after several years of unsuccessful attempts to defeat islamists in the country.

In previous years, Russia spent I think 2 decades in Afghanistan fighting and lost thousands of men doing so. It too left the country with its tail between it legs.

My point is dispersed and scattered banditry, terrorism,and in Nigeria's case, mixed with cattle rustling, illegal mining, and farmer - herder insurgency are very difficult to defeat.

Niger State alone is the size of many countries in Europe. And then there are other huge states across the North where the Nigerian government machinery is simply not present in adequate numbers, if any. That has been the case since independence.

If you put the entire Nigerian army in Niger state alone, they will be grounded there, like the US and Russia were in Afghanistan, and still not completely eradicate banditry and terrorism in that State.

While the army is grounded in Niger, how about Benue, Bornu, Kaduna, Sokoto and several other states.

It is a complex situation.

The army is trying, but Nigeria simply doesn't have the number of military personnel to cover every where.

Blessed4sure:
There are private refineries in the South East though.

yemre:
Why are you pulling up a 2024 data in October 2025 to support an untrue narrative.

Look at the attached recent report so that you know.

wirinet:
Many Southeasterners have Oil Mining licences, and some have licences to build refineries since the days of OBJ, why are they not building refineries?

yemre:
The three states combined are producing 31k bpd while Lagos and Ondo are producing 100k. Let's not go to South South because they're the real crude producers, not the Southeast!

EnergyEnergy:
is there an event that award Africa writer who write using an African language, like an Africa Nobel price

Lekby25:
Please think it through yourself, who will think of building a big refinery in the south east at the moment, with the level of unrest in that region of the country.

yemre:
Could you please tell me where amongst the five south eastern states is crude oil produced?

PigTormentor:
Where is abundant oil in the SE?
Plus what's stopping your "abundant BILLIONAIRES " from building one?

Flangelo12:
Africans did not shun the prize.

Stop lying.

Ishilove:
Yes, that was the outcome of the case. The man's wife was however found guilty of neglect.

What should be done in since it has already gone through the courts, if there is fresh evidence then the case can be reopened and the suspects retried in court because the truth is hashtags and sentiments alone will not bring results.

shivisee:
Seriously, your parents lied to you that Awolowo instruct his mob to burn Ibo land?? I’m not surprised sha, since na from Ibo, you wonder why people use your heads to dump their refuses ??

Factcheck0001:

Can't u see d difference?

pongwa:
wo ma fi ejo pami.

pongwa:
you are the one exhibiting tribalistic tendencies. Are you too dumb to notice?

pongwa:
irrelevant

Saturnalia:
Yoruba and Hausa people in Anambra do not meddle in Anambra politics and they do not insult their hosts.

ibedun:
Give us the names of the companies please and where they operate from. I can then check their daily weekly monthly and annual output to corroborate your position. No wahala if I’m wrong I’ll be corrected. Statistics back up my position though bro.

Putindbutt:
Awo was importing arms and armunition through ipob airports and land borders and he was TRYING TO overthrow the Govt by mobilizing Nzeogwu & ifeajuna.
Once again, go and write to Trump to release terrorists in Guantanamo bay or you write to Nentayahu to release Hamas that are being locked up. Then, we may consider your letter for the chief terrorist in Kuje.

simpleseyi:
That was conspiracy between your lord Nnamdi Azikiwe and Tafawa Balewa, the children of the two conspirators are still suffering for it till tomorrow

Putindbutt:
See Eyepob sense. If you like, you can even compare Kanu to Nelson Mandela. You will tell us where Awo was openly calling for the killings of security agencies and creating armed militants.
Like I said, let the quack lawyer write to Trump to release the terrorists in Guantanamo bay or he should come to Nigeria and defend him in court.
