PoliticsWhere Is Father Ejike Mbaka? by Whoube99(op):
Why has he suddenly gone mute, deaf & dumbed over all the insecurity upheavals that has bedeviled the Nigerian Nation for the past five years and still countinghuh Despite, his fake friend promising his gullible zombies, that he was going to lead the battle against insecurity from the front. What is he not telling the world about his acclaimed "Messiah buhari"huh
I still remember, when he was running his mouth prior to the 2015 general elections, that GEJ was a bad luck to Nigeria & that his political friend, a.k.a. Buhari was the Messiah sent by his 419 god.

DasaintHope:
The NYLF Chairman alleged that the
former President in 2014 paid the group
N300 million with which they purchased
most of their firearms.
The Chairman of the Northern Youth Leaders
Forum, Rev Elliot Afiso, has claimed that former
President Goodluck Jonathan laid the foundation
for the festering insecurity, banditry and killings
in the country by sponsoring a Fulani group
known as "Miyetti Allah Kautal Horre."
The NYLF Chairman alleged that the former
President in 2014 paid the group N300 million
with which they purchased most of their
firearms.
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan
In an interview with SaharaReporters, Afiso
noted that President Muhammadu Buhari had
been caged and was no longer in charge of the
government.
He said, "One thing that I want Nigerians to
know is that it was in 2014 that banditry started
in earnest. This is because, that was when the
then President, Goodluck Jonathan, reneged on
a gentleman agreement of not seeking a second
term. He lobbied the Miyetti Allah Cattle
Breeders Association and the Northern Elders
Forum, but they refused.
"But because he was desperate, he mobilised
some people who create "Miyetti Allah Kautal
Horre", and he also created the Northern Elders
Council, to rival those groups that refused to
endorse his reelection ambition.
"Recall that he received Miyetti Allah Kautal
Horre at the presidential villa and gave them
N300,000,000 to gain their support.
Unfortunately, Miyetti Allah Kautal Horre used
the money to acquire arms.
"Don't forget that he was dealing with Fulani
people whose cattle have been rustled by Boko
Haram terrorists, so they were also desperate
to regain their means of livelihood.
"Having acquired firearms with Jonathan's gift,
they found kidnapping and banditry to be a
lucrative business. Also, with a polarised elite
group, the bandits began to enjoy the support of
some Northern elders.
"When you have a one-on-one interaction with
some of the arrested kidnappers, they tell you
sometimes that they get as little as N5,000
share from a ransom because there's a big boss
somewhere."
When asked if the current regime of President
Muhammadu Buhari was capable of tackling the
menace, Elliot replied, "Let me say without the
fear of contradiction, the Buhari we knew is not
the Buhari we now have.
"This is because this Buhari has been caged.
The Buhari we knew would not allow any
security challenge to last beyond 24 hours.
Recall the other time; the President said he was
not even aware that the Inspector General of
Police didn't follow his orders to relocate to
Benue State."
The northern and southern parts of the country
had been gripped in the paw of banditry and
kidnapping for ransoms for years under Buhari.
The situation seems to be worsening, with the
latest episode being the abduction of more than
600 schoolboys in a boarding Secondary School
in Kankara, Katsina State.

PoliticsRe: Insecurity: Stop Blaming Security Agencies, DSS Tells Nigerians by Whoube99(f): 7:21am On Dec 14, 2020
zakim:
The Department of State Security Services (SSS) also known as the Department of State Services (DSS), has said that government and security agencies alone cannot tackle insecurity in the country without the support of the citizens especially on intelligence gathering.

The Director General of the agency, Yusuf Bichi, said this on Saturday night in Abuja at the Security and Emergency Awards (SEMA 2020), where the organization was conferred with an award by Emergency Digest, a security tabloid.

The DG, represented by the service spokesman, Peter Afunanya, urged Nigerians to support the security agencies to rid the country of all forms of criminality, rather than point accusing fingers at them.

“We call in Nigerians to support security agencies and government. Security is no longer for government and security agencies, there is need for collaborative efforts and partnership.

“You continue to stay in your comfort zone and continue to blame security agencies for all, but the information that the security agencies need have you brought it?

“All those bad people are part of our communities, they live in our neighbourhood, if you know one, tell the security agencies about them. If you have not done all these, its time for us to have a rethink, it’s time for us to have a change of mind to re-dedicate ourselves to the ideals of building a country that is devoid of any kind of insecurity,” he said.

Cybersecurity

Also, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Pantami, at the occasion said Cybersecurity sector is estimated at $2.32bn and projected to become $3.6 – $4.2bn by 2023.

The Minister, represented by Mr. Emeka Okoye, Direct ICT, therefore called on all stakeholders to make an input in developing the National Digital Economy so that Nigeria can maximise its security benefits.

“It is a known fact that opportunities through digital economy in cyberspace go hand in hand with cyber risks and cyber threats. Cybersecurity is a need in the progress and growth of digital economy. As a nation capitalising on digital revolution, cybersecurity is a national priority to foster economic welfare,” he said.

The minister said that government is currently in the process of reviewing the Cybercrime Act to meet the emerging security challenges of the nation such as terrorism and cyberspace criminality.

Pantami noted that the subject of Cybersecurity has been addressed in the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS), which focuses on strengthening public confidence in the use of digital technologies and participation in the digital economy.

At the event, Pantami, won the minister of the year and was honoured for initiatives in cyber security and digital economy, while the DSS was awarded for intelligence service; EFCC was recognised for crime prevention and Airtel for community service.

Other recipients include; NITDA for Corporate Social Responsibility; Nigeria Correctional Service for Crime prevention; Nigerian Customs Service for Public Information; and Neem Foundation for Humanitarian services among others.

PoliticsRe: Buhari Doing Well Despite Security Challenges – Sheikh Jingir by Whoube99(f): 7:17am On Dec 14, 2020
agwom:
The National Chairman of Ulama’u Council of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’a Waikamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS), Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than his predecessors despite the country’s security challenge.

The cleric stated this weekend during the JIBWIS 24th National Qur’an Recitation Competition in Gombe.

“We have serious security challenges in the country but I believe that the current situation is still better than the previous ones when people were afraid of mingling with one another in any gathering. I am not saying everything is fine, but there is an improvement in the security situation,” he said.

Sheikh Jingir, however, called on the president to re-strategise and fight criminality wholeheartedly.

Meanwhile a political group, Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation (BOCO), has called on Nigerians to continue to support President Buhari-led government, insisting that the Federal Government was doing its best to tackle the numerous challenges facing the country.

The group’s national chairman, Isa Aminu Bayero, in a statement yesterday, urged Nigerians to endure and appreciate the efforts being made by the Buhari administration to curtail the menace of some unpatriotic elements trying to sabotage the meaningful progress of his government.

AniOmaa:
Herdsmen attack two, kill prominent Oyo farmer Aborode

Published

The killing of Aborode happened less than 24 hours after an agric stakeholder meeting held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, in respect of the recurrent attacks by herdsmen in the area.

A source, who gave his name simply as Seyi, said, “Suspected Fulani herdsmen just killed a former house of representatives candidate on the platform of Accord Party during the 2015 general poll in Igangan, Ibarapa North West Local Council Development Authority, Dr Fatai Aborode.

“He was attacked by the hoodlums on his farm, he was macheted severally and he died while being rushed to a nearby hospital. He went to farm with one person on bike. On their way coming from the farm, they met the Fulani men. The other person escaped.”

Efforts to get the reaction of the police were abortive as calls made to the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Olugbenga Fadeyi, rang out. A text message sent to him was also not replied.

The Chief Executive Officer, Kunfayakun Green Treasures Limited, Fatai Aborode, has been reportedly killed by suspected herdsmen near his farm along Apodun village in Oyo State on Friday.

It was gathered that Aborode, a politician and prominent farmer, was killed just as he was leaving his farm around 4pm in company with his manager on a motorbike.

The manager (name not given), who was said to have escaped gunshots, reportedly ran for his life.

By August this year 2020 I had called him for the remainder of the money and he says he was in church and to call back. up till this December the man never called.

and now we decided we no longer selling. but could you believe that he is trying to use ignorant force to take it.

we haven't signed anything or any deeds of conveyance or anything whatsoever. infact the need for the money (why we decided to sell) which was to treat one of our distant relatives, is no more since we have lost the lady to the sickness.

I decided to make sure he wouldn't have it anymore cos of the way he handled the payment and again as he recently seem to be looking for trouble now of which I have decided to face his direction and give him rod for rod.

ordinarily I would have not created this thread cos I feel I have no case other than refund his money.

but I want to be absolutely in the know of what and what it could imply.

thanks for your guidance.

P.S : I am a young man and he is much older and wants to ride my family cos we have lost our dad many years back.

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Is Safer Than 7 Years Ago, Says Defence Minister, Bashir Magashi by Whoube99(f): 5:57pm On Dec 11, 2020
Insidenaija:
Despite spark in number of killings, banditry and kidnapping across the country, there have been renewed calls for President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the service chiefs, Bashir Magashi, minister of defence says, Nigeria is safer than it was seven years ago, Insidenaija reports.

Insidenaija recalled that, On November 28, over 40 farmers were killed by Boko Haram at Zabarmari in Borno state.

On December 1, the house of representatives summoned the president to brief the lawmakers on his efforts in tackling insecurity — the president, however, failed to honour the invitation which was scheduled for Thursday.

Speaking on a Channels TV programme on Thursday, the defence minister said the Buhari administration has subdued Boko Haram, and urged Nigerians to appreciate the government’s effort.

“The problem of this country is that we always forget too soon. Look in 2015 backwards, 2014, 2013; if you remember the situation in this country. In Kano, 200 people were massacred in the mosque. The Emir of Kano was also attacked. The road from Kano to Kaduna and Abuja were impassable. We had over 20 roadblocks from Kaduna to Abuja. It takes you almost 15 hours to reach where you are coming from. Even in Abuja, there were bombings. Everywhere in Nigeria in those years, you find that there were commotions, no security, people can’t even move,” he said.

“When this government came, you know what we did. In Borno state, about 20 local governments were under capture by Boko Haram. But as soon as Buhari came, they were all subdued and we took over all these things and we even said we technically defeated this Boko Haram.

“No piece of land is occupied by Boko Haram in Borno state,. The only thing normally with the kind of insurgent operation is that they want to surprise you, embarrass you, and do whatever they think that would attract international news or the national news or cause commotion within the environment they operate.

“And that is what they have been doing, and that is why we are trying very hard to adopt tactics and other forms of operations in order to stop this kind of people embarrassing this country.

“We are putting in place everything you can think of, tactically and operationally, in order to return this country to the very peaceful country we know it.”

He added that the forces are stretched, and maintained that Nigeria is not receiving support from some countries it refers to as “friends” on provision of resources to address insecurity.

“At the moment, most people think because of the sporadic attacks here and there, we lost control or we are not doing our best. Most of you know the problem of this country. The armed forces are overstretched,” he said.

“The other thing that we may have gotten, we are not supported by some of these countries we call our friends. They are not ready to give us what we need — with the money we have and everything. But certainly, what I am trying to say is that Nigeria is better than what we were seven years ago.”

The minister also explained that the armed forces are capable of wiping out the insurgents if given the necessary equipment, adding that the Nigerian army is one of the best on the continent.

“In Africa, the Nigerian army should be adjudged one of the best. We have conducted so many operations outside Nigeria. We went to ECOMOG (Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group); we did the very best we can. We went to Sierra Leone; we did the very best we can and some other places. We are a force that is reckoned with in Africa, but because of the nature of the prolongation of this war, people are getting tired,” Magashi said.

"People don’t even know the principles governing this kind of operation. These operations are not concentrated in one particular place. It is an operation that they hit and run. We don’t even know their bases. Now, we understand the tactics that the best way to fight these people is to get enough intelligence and go out there to fight them and this is what we are doing. Every day, we are getting information and the Nigerian army and air force are always in to see that they are run down.

“Since the beginning of this war, anybody who is watching it will know that Nigerian armed forces are capable of undertaking any operation, given the requisite equipment and the motivation they require to fight this war.”

I remember 1999 vividly, I remember Eagle Square and what happened there on the 29th of May, 1999. 20 years after, so many things have happened.

From Eagle Square where power changed hands in 1999, I have seen many who were present on that day but today, have been forgotten in idle permanent homes of their graves.

I remember how Nelson Mandela walked into the venue and the ovation that followed and with my same eyes I saw him in a casket.

In my eyes Stella Obasanjo rose to affluence and influence and with my eyes I saw her being driven out of power in a casket.
In my eyes Desire Kabilla who was also at Eagle Square fell to the bullets of his bodyguard in DR Congo. A former minister of Health, Prof Ransome Kuti was buried.
In my eyes Chuba Okadigbo rose, fell and died. Abubakar Rimi and Alex Ekwueme who contested a Presidential primaries with incumbent Obasanjo in 2003 at the same Eagle Square had their funerals organized.
In my eyes, "almighty" Tony Anenih called Mr Fix it, laid in-state helplessly in Benin as he couldn't fix death. Prof Dora Akunyili, the strong woman who was everywhere, fell on a street of India.
In my eyes, "Evil Genius" begin to wear canvass on an agbada on a wheelchair in Minna as he watches life without his once powerful wife, Maryam.
In my eyes Edwin Ume Ezeoke was buried, Gen. Victor Malu's obituary was in the news.
In my eyes, a Sultan fell from the sky, the remains of the owner of Bolingo Hotel was seen at Lisa village.
In my eyes Bola Ige fell, Suntai crashed and died, once landlords of Plateau and Taraba, Dariye and Nyame walked into prisons.
In my eyes, almighty Olabode George went and came out of prisons. Justice Salami heard the news of the death of Justice Katsina Alu. Before me, I saw powerful James Ibori who financed Yaradua's presidential election run like a coward to Dubai where he was extradited and jailed in UK.
In my eyes, a Landlord fell in Kwara and a strongman won election in Kogi but never lived to hear his victory announcement.

In my eyes, Azazi reigned and fell, Yakowa never lived to tell a story. Oronto Douglas who was once a powerful man behind the throne was buried.
In my eyes, Yar'adua came and fizzled out of power like two of his ministers.
In my eyes, I Fejiro Oliver saw the strongman of Ibadan politics, Adedibu, who removed a whole sitting governor and made Obasanjo to come same afternoon for peacemaking, rolled in a mat to the grave
In my eyes, I saw Tompolo who was powerful under Goodluck Jonathan, demystified and chased into hiding never to return under Buhari.
In my eyes, Solomon Lar that sat that day as PDP Chairman, a symbol of power and affluence was buried on a plateau.
In my eyes, tested Bukola Saraki could not win his reelection and now hunted with his properties seized. This was a two time governor and number three man in Nigeria as Senate President now powerless.

While still alive, newspapers carried how once powerful men like Olisa Metuh, Dasuki all turned into vegetables by EFCC.
In my eyes, I saw strong men rise and fall very cheaply. If this writeup should teach us anything, let it be known that power is transient. God gives who he wants to give. He says "I will have mercy on who I want to have mercy on".
To those of you today in power, where would you be in the next twenty years?
In 2039 when names like Buhari, Atiku, Amaechi, Wike, Saraki, Ekweremadu, Tambuwal, Mark, Dave, Onu are mentioned what would that child write about them then?

As we approach life, have it in mind that POLITICAL POWER IS NOT PERMANENT. THIS SAME POWER HAS CONSUMED MEN, DESTROYED MARRIAGES, CUT SHORT DREAMS, ENDED RELATIONSHIPS, BETRAYED TRUSTS AND KILLED FELLOW HUMANS... Is it worth dying for?
