Any human with strong will and all the powers associated with the Presidency can solve Nigeria’s insecurity problems.

What’s holding them back is fear, politics and deals they’ve made with others to get power.

Tell me why as a president, a man that has all the power and arsenal of a country at your disposal is afraid to mention the names of the terror sponsors or even outrightly go after them.

What have you got to lose?

Talk is cheap.
No individual can stop Nigeria security challenges because it is structural problem.

A constitution amendment to incorporate state police is required and it will be passed by 2/3 of all states and Federal Assembly.

The president has instructed the state governor to work it out but how many state Assemblies have deliberated it, not to talk of Nass.

Talk is cheap

Peter Obi today was a guest speaker at the David and Goliath Conference organized by Fr Oluoma in Abuja.

Key points:

“Insecurity festers in because it has become a business.”

“Egypt was generating about 20,000 megawatts of electricity in 2015. Today they are exporting electricity to Europe because they now generate more than they need.”

Power is now. In concurrent list, he should go and advise his home state governor to power his state.

No one will stop any state governor from giving his state power. Abia state through a private enterprise is supplying chunk of power to Abians, that should be replicated across Nigeria states

sirchim:
But hold on a minute! Nobody supported THIEFNIBU Baban Baban BARAWOO before. Even his own State of origin rejected him in 2023 election, talkless of the North. He only used the likes of hell-rufai, ganDOLLAR and co, to rig himself up. If you know, your Mama born you well carry go.

This is a thread for election losers to have a consolation. When they are defeated in 2027 they will start crying rigging.

Crying is a fundamental right of election loser, wetin them gain if them no cry

reddingtonblack:
Sadly in Nigeria you will have to pray to get even your own pension you contribute ... i remember the prayer session my went through just to get there pension after working for 35yrs

The other sad reality is that with the poor salary package predominant in Nigeria and incessant inflation Lots of workers wont be able to own a good house even if they work 40yrs
To buy quarter land alone now is over 9m on top 70k minimum wage

That's not a Nigeria problem, it is a universal one. An average worker in the US can't build a house without mortgage. Many salary work are for maintenance and not for wealth creation, you need to play outside the box as a salary worker to acquire some things in life

Ofunaofu:
What’s actually a lie is pretending Lagos 2023 was peaceful just because the truth is inconvenient.

First, a simple Google search would have shown you that the picture is from Ogun State, not Kogi. So miss me with the manufactured outrage and lazy gaslighting.

Second, Lagos doesn’t need demarketing.

Those who demarket Lagos are the same people who turned elections into warfare, the thuggery, agberoism, voter intimidation, ethnic profiling, and state-backed impunity we all witnessed live and direct. No Photoshop. No propaganda. We were there, we all saw it.

When political actors unleash street urchins, thugs, agberos, deploy oro masquerades to scare voters, openly threaten people believed to be a particular ethnic group, and celebrate violence, they do more damage to Lagos’ image than any tweet or Nairaland post ever could.

The problem isn’t people speaking up.
The problem is those who perpetrated electoral banditry, thuggery, agberoism and deploy the most ethnic and tribal bîgótry divisive campaign ever in the history of this country

You can discuss politics as you want but when you try to rubbish my state you will hear from me.

You can't lie about what you don't know, I've been active in Lagos politics since 1999.

Your lie about Lagos cannot fly where I am because you don't know 5% about Lagos politics, you concern should be about your state and how it can be better and not focus your entire life on what obtained where you have no root or connection to unless you wish to abandon your state for Lagos.

Why are you not bordered about the killing that took place in the SE, the threat from IPOB the harassment of APC people in your state. Why dissipating so much energy in a state you can never become a councillor.

Is that not misplaced priority?

Why did you post a picture of event that happened in Ogun state as Lagos? You claimed there's violence in Lagos election but can only post a picture in Ogun state to buttress your point. That's is misinformation but the mods will allow you to continue in your foolery because that is their way.

MrGerald:
The thugs in Lagos alone pass all these, it's on daily basis, your windscreen would be smashed and your items collected if you're driving in some dark areas in Lagos.

I spent my holiday in Lagos and you can't find the kind of night life you enjoy in Lagos in any parts of Nigeria including Abuja.

Why do you guys hate Lagos this much?

MrGerald:
Lagos more peaceful and organized? Maybe these have another meaning, you probably never been to Abuja or Enugu, but if you say opportunity that's understandable.

Ogbeni, I work in Abuja, so make your point. Do you know the kind of protest that happened in Abuja during endsars. The terrorism, bombing and the community raid by kidnappers?

Many of you are simply ignorance

Ofunaofu:
We don’t need StatiSense to tell us that the South West, especially Lagos State would top the list for election violence in 2023.

We lived it. We witnessed the impunity, thuggery, agberoism, voter intimidation, and outright suppression that defined the Lagos elections, all in a desperate bid to grab it, snatch it, and run away with it.

We saw political oro masquerades deployed to scare voters. We witnessed wanton killings, maiming, and destruction of property targeting people believed to belong to a particular ethnic group, all because of their democratic choice.

And as if the violence on the streets wasn’t enough, ethnic bile was openly fueled by characters like Bayo Onanuga and MC Oluomo, further poisoning the atmosphere and stoking ethnic tension.

Lie is part and parcel of many of you. The picture you post is from Kogi state in North Central. Why attaching it to make it look like it happened in Lagos.

The more you try to demarket Lagos the more your state go down, just know this

Bulletproofgt:
Make Apc de sponsor political statistics o. Douth West wey be HQ of agbeorism, intimidation, killings and injury even open intimidation by politicians thugs na em be 5 percent. Una well done

You can lie as much as you like to yourself but Lagos still remain the most peaceful and organized state in Nigeria.

Many of you will sell your house to ensure your children are posted to Lagos for their NYSC because 2 things are guaranteed. Your child will not be killed and there's high probability of securing a better future These are facts that lies can't take away

WizardOfNG:
Aren't you too old to be lying shamelessly like this?

The guy surprised me. One can be tempted to conclude that the north and SE behave in the same manner. While the north are not.ambitious but depending on Nigeria unity for survival, the SE don't believe in themselves and always using secession to bargain their continuous patronage in a united Nigeria.

The SE don't have a clear picture of what they want

Good2go1:
Seeing Lagos in that list made me to start daught the credibility of that list.

You should first understands what constitute clean environment.

Water: most of water in Lagos passes through natural filteration sand because of its rich sandy soil. It location within sea level makes its water self purify thereby reducing the level of water transmitted diseases. How many times have you heard cases of cholera in Lagos.

Pollution: Apart from carbon emissions that comes from huge vehicle and industrial waste, Lagos air is naturally clean. You can't compared it with other states with red mud that mixed with air

kenchop:
Including a dirty and smelly Lagos in the list completely make a nonsense of the statistics from the originator. If you categorizes Lagos as clean then you are oblivious of the definition of a clean state.

A dirty Lagos is still cleaner tan some states. I hate red mud. I wonder how those who live in those areas manage dust and potopoto

Those than cant manage their emotions should not be allowed to vote in Nigeria.
Satisense has once again show regions that can't tolerate individual choice of candidate.

The mentality of you must vote my candidate is major reason for electoral tension, it's barbaric and should be discouraged

Tunaji:
Master ke? Riddle me or tell a gist I never knew.

this website is annoymised, but damn it!
I have mentioned my name on another thread.

Remember what the BIBLE says about a lowly man who elevates him for no reason.

In my dialect "Me lo ga".

Everyone for himself, GOD for us all!

This one just take Caneroonian kaikai. He has entered spiritual height of hallucination.

It is well with your soul

Ofunaofu:
It’s obvious you just jumped into this conversation and missed the plot entirely. Comparing Obi’s tenure as a state governor to Tinubu’s tenure as president is not just lazy, it’s intellectually dishonest.

Obi governed Anambra State, not Nigeria, not the federal purse, and not with the same powers, revenue streams, or propaganda machinery available to a sitting president. Yet under him, Anambra cleared debts, left billions in savings, invested heavily in education, health, and infrastructure, and consistently ranked among the least indebted states.

As for ‘pictures, governance isn’t a social media content contest. Roads, schools, hospitals, savings, and debt reduction don’t disappear because you can’t find glossy photo-ops.

And no, Obi wasn’t building China in the air or by mouth, he was running a state with prudence, not media noise.

Honestly, jumping in with baseless comparisons like this makes one wonder if you actually understand governance at all or if you’re even mentally okay to have this conversation.

You don't know that states are sub national with autonomous power to execute projects.

Now that you have confirmed your intellectual laziness, you can now open your constitution and read about concurrent and residual list that covers what a state can do.

Nobody is asking for scale or capacity between FG and state government, we just want to see what Obi has done with the little he got.

If e didn't dey, e didn't dey.

You don't give a man who bury one talent in his Fidelity bank, you cast him away and never given him another to hide in his underage Pandora bank account

Thedon22:
Please, can you help me with pictures of Obis projects when he was gov for 8 years. How come we are seeing pictures of Tinubus projects within 3 years and Obis 8 years projects is unavailable. Is Obi building China in the air or by mouth?

Someone who didn't build a single classroom from scratch to finish is who you asking to show picture.

You go wait tire

Ofunaofu:
I feel your pains, anguish, and frustrations.

You know wailing, crying, anguish and pain is synonymous to the Obidients don't deny your udentity

ottersberger:
You want Tinubu's name detatched from the plethora of lies told on his behalf abi?, na lie. Did you see how Tinubu looke like a baby Orangutan nside the oversized oufit they forced him to wear in Turkey.

It's best to stick to kaftans. Dat one dey hide age small. Little wonder he fell like a lilliputian drunk in continuing disgrace of this long suffering, now disgraced country. And yet some people are still mouthing off about 2027. Make una dey decieve unaself.

Now that you abuse Tinubu, let 1million dollar drop into your account. Let Obi start answering President Obi.

Those are the 2 things that can make you happy in life. Sadly none of it will ever happen

Tunaji:
I'm sorry I won't be debating with you the foundation oF APC was faulty.The bible says when the head/foundation is bad. what can the righteous do?

Pastor you can turk your discussion into your inner pocket and leave Nairaland if you are not confident to engage your masters

Ofunaofu:
Government may be a continuum, but incompetence isn’t a legacy project.

Go to Anambra, you will see incompetence walking on its legs until Soludo started chasing them away.

Same incompetence that chased many of you to SW

Ofunaofu:
I like how you skipped the real issue and resorted to insults.

Nobody argued where it started, the point is that Tinubu won’t finish it even if he is given 30 years, and you know it.

Worse things were said about Dangote refinery by the prophet of dooms. Today it's standing tall, just same way they said nothing was happening on the Second Niger bridge.

Let's start from ADC, then LP, ,PDP before APC

anonimi:
You are the one who has to check your own reasoning faculty for the missing nut.

Tinubu and APC have failed so badly in creating the millions of jobs promised that they are hiding worsening unemployment rates, despite revising the data analysis used to determine it.

You can't have a decent conversation without mentioning Tinubu and APC, the other one that is missing is Lagos.

We have many wrong characters on Nairaland

At the rate Tinubu is going with project if Peter Obi score 2m votes, they should declare 1 month sir at home to celebrate in SE,

Obidient will cry rigging in 2027

SeeWahala:
Useless man anytime the national grid collapses that is the same time tilumbu will remember to start rolling on the ground and disgracing us as Nigerians in front of the entire globe

Old kleptomaniac druggie sniffing powder substances and topping it with weed and Benson ciga🚬




No oh, we are just disappointed that he didn't hit his head on the ground very well when he fell so he can at least have a brain reboot and return to reverse some of his devilish economic policies impoverishing both you and your people

It's not the first time he has fallen after all . . . Definitely won't be the last too 😏

Election loser on the beat

givedemwotowoto:
A coward is claiming not to be interested in discussing an attempt to execute their leaders. Lol

They denied and tried to cover up genocide on their own people talk less of this one. Them no born the Agbadorian well to open threads and talk about this issue seriously.

By the way, Agbadorians (aka Tinubu supporters) are a well known group of people, no de try to drag Yorubas into your tomfoolery

You guys don't know what you want, just get this into your skull that Yoruba don't court validation to proof a point. We fight those we want to fight and diss those we want to diss. It is non of your business to startt sniffing what Yoruba are cooking, that is called longer throat.

Terming Yoruba disinterested action as an act of cowardice is a reflection of how you see yourself before the north.

Yoruba don't worship the northerners like you do, that's what the history told us

How will an Azikwe with his exposure succumbed to accept a figurehead head of state under Tafawa Balewa a school teacher if not an act of cowardice.

Alex Ekweme, equally acted as extra tyre to Shahari a grade 2 teacher.

All these were done without the north reciprocate the gesture unlike Osinbajo who deputized a northerner but the SW stood and collected the mantle from the North despite their grumbling.

Yoruba are different, they fought the military populated by the north out of power when your leaders were dining and organizing a million march for the northerner including Peter Obi who was errant boy to Abacha the military junta.

To put it succinctly, when the north killed Abiola, the Yoruba fought gallantly and ensure power was microzone to SW leading to Obasanjo from an Egba man from Ogun state just as Abiola became the president.

2 people from the South led a secession campaign during Buhari, your leader was brought back in a pig cage while the other Yoruba escaped and today is a free man when your supreme leader washing toilet of bandits prison mates in Sokoto prison.

Tell me the definition of a coward from these scenario.

The SW collected power in APC after suppting the northerners for 8 years but your leaders ran away at the mention of Atiku after slaving for the northern PDP for 22years compared to SW who ensures they collect power from the northerns in APC.

Today your leaders are begging to a a spare part to the northerner in a country you co-owned. Shame no dey catch una ni?

The northerns have massacred your people countless time and the northern youth even gave you quit notice, and your people rolled out all the leaders in the SE to go and beg.

Dem no born any region well to give the SW such insulting notice, guy, look in the mirror for the real coward of all times

The true meaning of cowardice is sum up here. I didn't abuse anybody to warrant mod to delete my initial post

Elusive001:
[sup][/sup]


Who among una go fit talk pim? Tell us. Even your god no fit. Coup against sitting president and fearno gree una do pim?

Tufiakwa!!!!!

I will forever prefer to be a free-born than a slave, anyway, any time

Go and read my response to givethemwotowo that the mod deleted to know the meaning of a cowardice
