Blame those who adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system for Nigeria's insecurity

HgAkpobomeEr:
Mahdi Shehu is spot on. No one is innocent in this matter.

Public commentator Mahdi Shehu has said that Nigeria’s deepening insecurity is not caused by one tribe or religion, but by people from different ethnic and religious backgrounds who play various roles in the crisis.

nairalanda1:
1.Clamor for state creation started under the first republic, that is why we had the midwest region created (which became bendel, and which lasted till 1991

The Mid-West Region was an agreement between the Western Regions and people from the Mid-West (Delta State, Edo State, and Bayelsa State) that they would have their own region. The issue was debated and agreed upon in the Western House of Assembly.

2.Clamor was from minority tribes who felt oppressed by the majority tribes in the three original regions.

What should have happened was empowering Local government and not creating new states that are not viable.

3.Regions were not productive, and had they lasted till today, they would be described as being unproductive because of the resource curse. As many researchers have pointed out, countries that use brain power are richer than countries that sell cocoa, cotton, palm oil, crude oil, metals, and so forth (unless the population of the resource rich country is tiny enough ). Infact, that is why most subsaharan african countries are broke and poor.

The resource curse is a problem in the Southern Hemisphere. Australia, Chile, New Zealand, Canada, Norway, Russia, Indonesia and many Asian countries have turned their resources into opportunities. Even Namibia, Botswana, and recently Guinea (Conakry) have turned their resources into economic development by balancing resource extraction with social and infrastructure development.

The Western and Eastern Regions of Nigeria were developing at a fast pace.


(By productive I mean being able to produce industrial goods that are exportable. No country in Africa gets rich from selling raw materials and so forth. If it was so, by now Nigeria would be like USA. )

Agree, that's why support for local entrepreneurs such as Dangote, Innoson, BUA and many more should be a priority.

4.If you want the states to be profitable, start with taxation. But Nigerians don't like paying tax at all, even as at 2019, only 30% of Nigerians paid taxes to state and federal governments. I doubt anything would have changed with 'regions'. Government now claims it is 44%, but even then tax to gdp is low at less than 10% up till today.


Cancelling FAAC and handing funds to states that have never contributed to the national budget will force states to focus on revenue generation. The entire North have lost its capability to be productive due to the availability of FAAC.

Also, many states started well by investing in education. But when someone graduates and finds no jobs because imports and poor electricity means that the ability of our economy to generate jobs (poor electticity being caused by the same issues with poor tax revenue)..is broken. All we got is the civil service, which can't absorb everyone .

The faster growth of Education in Nigeria occurred between Self-Rule 1952 and 1966 in the old Western and Eastern Regions. A regional government with complete control of governmental power and resources is the only way to develop Nigeria.

5.Regions were flawed, very flawed. The Igbo pogrom was a good example of how flawed, when you have a regional police that cannot do anything. Why there has been no repeat is due to our police having been federalized. Throroughly.


Nigeria's problem is that people and government think that economy is a cake that can be shared and that after sharing e go regenerate every night. That's a fairytale, not true economics.

And because of that we end up with leaders like buhari, gej, tinubu, and company whose job is to share money, not do serious governing. And why we have so many idle youth who end up in arms...

bixton:
So, from your research what is the meaning of Adama and was he the first person to be called that name or is the name a self named by him?

The military government did not create unproductive States but the various States government and governors made their States unproductive. Let's get that right and truthful about it.

Before it became a state in Nigeria, Adamawa was a subordinate kingdom of the Sultanate of Sokoto, which also included much of northern Cameroon. The rulers bear the title of emir ("lamido" in the local language, Fulfulde).[13]

The name "Adamawa" came from the founder of the kingdom, Modibo Adama, a regional leader of the Fulani Jihad organized by Usman dan Fodio of Sokoto in 1804. Modibo Adama came from the region of Gurin (now just a small village) and in 1806, received a green flag for leading the jihad in his native country. In the following years, Adama conquered many lands and tribes. In 1838, he moved his capital to Ribadu, and in 1839, to Joboliwo. In 1841, he founded Yola, where he died in 1848. After the European colonization (first by Germany and then by Britain), the rulers remained as emirs and the line of succession has continued to the present day.


Dancers of Adamawa state in their cultural adornment
In the early 1800s, the Fulani jihad seized much of modern-day Adamawa State and formed the Adamawa Emirate under the Sokoto Caliphate. About 90 years later, forces from Germany and the British Empire defeated the Emirate in the Adamawa Wars and split the area. The British-controlled area (much of the west of modern-day Adamawa) was incorporated into the Northern Nigeria Protectorate which later merged into British Nigeria before becoming independent as Nigeria in 1960. The German-controlled area formed a part of German Kamerun until allied forces invaded and occupied Kamerun during the Kamerun campaign of World War I. After the war, what is now eastern Adamawa State became most of the Northern Cameroons within the British Cameroons until 1961, when a referendum led to a merger with Nigeria.

Originally, modern-day Adamawa State was a part of the post-independence Northern Region until 1967 when the area became part of the North-Eastern State. After the North-Eastern State was split in 1976, Gongola State was formed on 3 February 1976 alongside ten other states. Fifteen years after statehood, Gongola was split with the state's south becoming Taraba State while its north became Adamawa State.

Brendaniel:
So do you have any person in mind?

Sonnobax15:

As bad as Sani Abacha was,but this is the kind of time where you won't have any other option than to miss someone's like him .

Brendaniel:
So what exactly do you want for Nigeria?

Brendaniel:
And Tinubu has been doing what, and is doing what presently with the Fulanis?

Brendaniel:
I know not all Yorubas are supporting him but he still has a large follower base in Yoruba land, You see the the issue I have with plenty Yorubas like you is you still love Tinubu despite the evil he has done to you and hate Peter Obi despite not doing any evil to you...

That's where the major problem is, it is an ideology, you hate Peter Obi for no just reason and find it hard to hate Tinubu even when there is overwhelming reason for that.

So I don't see people like you picking a good leader because already you always apply bias before reasoning in your selection for leadership.

Same thing the north did with Buhari is the same thing you people are doing with Tinubu, we can see the outcome on Nigeria today.

This is one major reason I want the country to divide because i believe what Nigeria is facing today is more of an ideological problem than just bad governance...

bablon20:
This latest victim might also be a member of nairaland o, he may even be among those saying America should mind their business, he might even be among those speaking against what the country has become under Tinubu, now Nigeria has happened to him. No one knows if he'll be the next, let's always be on guard 24/7.

pdppower:
Do we even still have a president in this country? His silence is murderous. He is only after 2027 and doesn't care how many people will remain in Nigeria atvthat time to vote for him.

Brendaniel:
So if Yorubas did not want a Yoruba president, who are the people still supporting him today despite his disastrous failure?

Brendaniel:
If only you read the first article I talked about, you will know he called them out...

help yourself out of ignorance, if Yoruba was not going to go and save Nigeria, why then did you people want a Yoruba president?


For what ?

Dogalmighty17:
An empty president. Even Buhari is better than him

Demola Olarewaju, Senior Political Assistant to H.E. Atiku Abubakar

Mandate1:
Which country is that?

China's internal migration policy is called the hukou system, which is a household registration system that has historically controlled population movement and tied citizens' social rights to their registered place of birth.

While reforms have loosened restrictions, the system still dictates access to services like education, healthcare, and social insurance, often restricting access for migrants who move to new areas.


Hukou system: The official Chinese term is huji (户籍), but the system is commonly known as hukou (户口), which means "household registration".


Function: The system divides citizens into categories, most notably urban and rural. Access to local services, such as housing, education, and healthcare, is often tied to holding an urban hukou.


Migration restrictions: Although the system was liberalized after 1978 to allow for rural-to-urban migration to meet labor demands, it historically prevented migrants from transferring their social rights to their destination.

Impact: Migrants without a local hukou have limited access to basic public services in the cities where they live and work, creating a "floating population" with disenfranchised social and economic rights.

Reforms: In 2014, the government introduced reforms to further relax restrictions and promote a more integrated society, but the core of the system remains.

Mrchippychappy:
What do you mean? Are you saying our fellow brothers cannot come to our region?

I don't like this kind of divisive statement, we are one with our Fulani brothers, saying things like this is not good. Please Afenifere should call Gbenga Daniel to order

Brendaniel:
Who Ordered Military Withdrawal 45 Minutes Before School Attack?’, Kebbi Governor Seeks Answers

When I read that report on Nairaland front page with the topic that says Kebbi governor admits they failed to act on DSS warning, then I read the entire article, I just saw south west Lagos Ibadan media spinning hand in the topic, and of course their people started insulting the governor and blaming him because they want to shift blame away from Tinubu...

If you read that article, you will see the governor took proactive measures to stop that incident but was sabotaged by the federal government headed by Tinubu

Biodun556:
India and Pakistan are competitors. While India home grown fighter jet is Tejas, Pakistan homegrown fighter jet is JF 17 Thunder.

Many countries including Nigeria have purchased Pakistan JF17 Thunder, India Tejas is yet to get any buyer.

Namaster:
This is a NO BRAINER!

The WHOLE Northern Region should have been LOCKED DOWN a long time ago.

All the states in North and our Northern borders should be locked down for like 6 months for INTENSE Military OPERATIONS.

Especially after they KILLED a General and KIDNAPPED School Children within a span of 3 days.

Lock down. Lock in. And OBLITERATE with reckless abandon.

Instead, our WEAK President is telling us he's DEPRESSED.

MADNESS!

Gbadugbakun:
Well said. Black tax is putting so many Africans in poverty.

Pootle:
his very right when they had something that looked like a state they used it to build tunnels worth billions of dollars, bought weapons while many were staving and with lack of social amenities

slivertongue:
APC and Tinibu have no capacity to protect Nigerians

princeade86:
State government should pay it na since they can't protect citizens lives.

I'm so surprised that all top pastors dont even talk about this insecurities. From pastor adeboye,oyedepo,kumuyi,oyhakilome,okotie,bakare and many of them the way they voiced out 2014. Chai

seunmsg:
Like I always say, the parts in bold are the crux of the matter. That notwithstanding, I hope this renewed interest in cooperation with Nigeria will truly help in ending the senseless killings and kidnapping happening all over the country. Everything must be done to ensure that Boko Haram, ISWAP, Fulani criminal herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers are completely wiped off the face of the earth.

the terrorism perpetrated by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants against their population, specifically Christians in the Northeast and Middle Belt regions of Nigeria.

Dreal1247:
The Fulani has compromised the Nigerian Army. All the repellent Boko Haram members who have been inducted into the Nigerian Military should be first removed. That is first step to be taken if they really wish to fight this terrorists. This is terrorists attack and not bandits.

Arda1000:
how would they separate?
They were conquered through jihad and are being ruled by their conquers,it’s not happening unless there’s a serious war.

Fulani empire" in Mali most commonly refers to the Fulani Empire of the Macina, a state established by Sékou Amadou in the region of Macina from 1818 to 1862. This empire was founded following a Fulani jihad and conquered Timbuktu, playing a significant role in the region's history before it was overthrown.

Arda1000:
the last one president of Nigeria is Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
People like Buhari and Tunubu aren’t even qualified to be a school principal

MEGAWATCH:
This is an avoidable problem they created themselves.

I hope the south Westerners are watching, because the North is their role models.

If you are still in doubt, you can compare Tinubu and Buhari's trajectory.
