With all the vote-riggings, with all the institutional authorities, and the large constitutional powers vested in certain offices, the actual power is in the hands of people.
Happy Birthday @AKGujber , a true comrade, a patriot and a nation lover. I admire your dedication to seeking knowledge, and your consistency in pursuit of what you believe. You’re a great guy AK.
Bashir, what information is lacking?
Is it that the security agencies don’t have enough information about how these things are happening, their locations are or why these things are happening.
Sometimes in 2023, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara raised concerns that there are some FG delegations holding talks and negotiations with bandit groups without his knowledge.
The FG agencies don’t have the informations?
Again, just recently, we have seen the Chairman of Jibia LG in Katsina engaging bandits in “peace talks”. This is an elected public officer from one of the most affected communities. Three bandit leaders were in attendance to review the peace deal agreement they had in the past with a community in Katsina. Review fa!
So if things have gone this far? What information are you exactly still looking for daga wajen mutane?
Gumi is a renowned scholar. He has made headlines for engaging in some talks with these bandits which recently sparked some controversies. The govt at state and federal level have a direct contact with him (formal or informal). Gomanti ta nemeshi ayi guiding nasu ta inda yake magana da bandits mana or ya basu duk wani information da ya samo from his interactions.
Who is closer to relaying the necessary informations to any relevant authority? What other information can common man help with?
What other credible information are you talking about?
These guys from Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara and Katsina have been attending meetings with government officials in their hundreds, arriving on bikes with arms, a sheer display of the lack of will to address this menace. They return to their bushes afterwards, and you are still talking about information.
Me yasa ba ka nutsuwa ne? Idan ana maganar tsaro, idan ba za ka taya victims kuka da neman musu adalci ba, kai shuru ka ci gaba da maintaining table manners. Amma ka ji tsoron illar rashin tsaro a Nigeria, ka ji. Ka fita sha’anin kare gwamnati ko yi wa gwamnati uzuri a kan harkar tsaro.
If that retired General and his wife, whose video is circulating on social media, were your relatives, or da ace na kusa da kai ne a video ɗin can na jiya, you wouldn’t have put out this here. Haba dan Allah.
Bashir, what information do you want? What information is hidden that is preventing this barbarism from coming to an end?
Their names? (Bello Turji, Ado Aliero, Dogo Gide, Kachalla Isiya?) Their locations? The reasons they attack communities? Their parents’ identities, their fingerprints, their pictures (check TikTok), or their NIN numbers?
What exactly is the information you believe is missing, Mallam Bashir?
For the sake of enlightenment, please tell us what information the security agencies or the government still need which, in your considered view, is the part we as citizens are supposed to play but have failed to play.
Dan Allah, enlighten us.
What exactly is this critical information that is missing after years of attacks, kidnappings, mass killings, peace meetings, intelligence reports, arrests, release of prisoners in ransom, confessions, and public identification of many of the key actors?
Even at the height of the Boko Haram insurgency, I did not place the blame entirely on the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan because I have long believed that the responsibility of securing our communities does not rest on the shoulders of government alone. Security is a shared responsibility that requires the active participation and commitment of every citizen.
Governments provide leadership and resources, but communities, traditional institutions, religious leaders and individuals all have vital roles to play. We must support our security agencies with credible information and refuse to provide safe havens for criminals.
Only through a united effort and a shared sense of responsibility, can we restore lasting peace and ensure a safer future for our communities and our nation.
May Allah disgrace and destroy every person, party or leader involved in, benefiting from, financing, or aiding the kidnappings, banditry, and senseless violence that continue to plague our country.
May those who profit from the suffering of innocent people find no peace in their lives, and may every victim and affected family find relief, justice, and security.
@Dr_Couzinn@yakubwudil Wlh it’s all we got, my brother. May God destroy whoever is involved, or benefiting from this atrocities. May God strengthen and guide our minds to choose the best out of us devoid of any sentiment.
@Dr_Couzinn@yakubwudil To them, it’s all about gratification. The calculation is only how to seize power. It’s when they are there, they’d start thinking of how to toy with us again.
@Ahmerdd_Hassan The condition for anything to be OK is to collectively rally around a progressive idea, sir. There is a particular order to this thing.
