As at today, which is Nigeria’s MAIN OPPOSITION Party? And what is the yardstick for measuring same?
PDP? APM? PRP? NDC? ADC - Nafiu Gombe? or ADC - David Mark? Labour Party?
They all now appear like shrapnel from a broken vase.
What Our Pervasive Insecurity Requires: A Holistic not Reactive Approach.
In a hasty effort to be perceived as attentive and courageous, it is reported that President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of about 1000 forest guards for Oyo State. This is a further demonstration of poor leadership and attending to very serious governance and security issues with a reactive approach. It is the same reactive approach that led to the sudden removal of fuel subsidy and floating of the Naira that has caused irreparable damage to ordinary Nigerians and the economy.
While recruiting more security personnel for Oyo state and the country is important, it should be done in a more organised and well-thought-out manner. Presently, almost all the 36 states in Nigeria are experiencing different forms of insecurity, with Oyo, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Borno, Katsina, Anambra, Niger, Imo, and Sokoto being very alarming.
The question, such as the reactive approach of our President, is whether all the states will receive the same approval to recruit 1000 forest guards per state, that is 37, 000 forest guards for the 36 states and Abuja or is the recruitment approval based on the mood of the President? Moreover, with the approval for Oyo, what will happen to the Amotekun Corps that is trying its best to secure South-West Nigeria?. Will they be disbanded in Oyo state?
The pervasive insecurity we currently have is directly related to the failure of our ecosystem, particularly leadership. It is only failure in leadership that can lead to the death of over 10,000 innocent Nigerians since 2023, and Nigeria is ranked among the top-most terror-affected countries in the world.
Addressing our insecurity situation requires a holistic or what can be described as an ecosystem approach. With failure in leadership, there is failure in unifying our dear nation, failure in industrialisation, failure in harnessing our abundant resources in agriculture, minerals, tourism, water, sports and even oil and gas to effectively generate required revenue, growth and particularly jobs for our exponentially growing youth population.
A New and Productive Nigeria will be POssible, and we will be OK! -P0
Peter Obi took questions at the Africa Business Club Conference as well. It was a full session & he held his audience spellbound. You can see his obvious agility, gravitas, & sharpness. This is the type of 21st century president you need.
A donation you made to your daughter’s foundation? Who this one dey whine?
Knowing how money is laundered via foundations, you think this is an achievement? Dumbo, it only exposes your corrupt nature.
Next time, don’t launder money through your daughter’s foundation
NIGERIA HAS BEEN OVERWHELMED
The terrorists saying we're the one that k!dn@pp£d the student and beheaded the principal
They're bragging on tiktok and dares Tinubu to come and get them in Kano if he can.
Where's the DSS?
Where's the IGP Crack Squad?
A young man had the opportunity to enter Aso Rock. And he was celebrating the fact that he eat Jellof Rice, used WiFi and felt A/C.
These were his benefits for initiating primitive and egregious propaganda against Peter Obi. And you all couldn't throng INEC office to get your PVC massively & save souls?
APC is Dehumanising the minds of myopic youths and they're not aware. The kingdom of Nigeria needs to suffer violence and we must take it by force!
Peter Obi remains the only presidential candidate who can address international organizations, engage with world leaders & other nations, & take questions as well.
This is the European Union Parliament.
This is FDI.
This is Foreign Policy.
This is Passport Ranking.
This is how you market Nigeria.
This is the kind of “prayers” that renowned ‘men of God’ were praying against Goodluck Jonathan in 2012.
Some of us were alive and old enough to watch this depravity and deranged declarations made in the name of God.
But today, APC lunatics want to gaslight the whole country.
Social Influencers Vow to Resist Crackdown as Former NADECO Activist Tinubu Moves to Revoke Nigerians’ Access to Information Over Exposure of Bad Governance and Security Flaws https://t.co/Aal63aHnqP
The Emir of Argungu, Alhaji Muhammad Samaila Mera, has called on his subjects to legally acquire weapons to protect their communities against persistent attacks by bandits.
He also urged communities in the emirate to remain vigilant and take proactive measures against terrorists and criminal elements that often invade the areas.
The monarch made the call during a meeting with district heads, village heads, and ward heads at his palace in Argungu.
He added that communities should consider raising funds collectively to purchase legally approved weapons for self-defence.
“If you acquire such weapons legally, make sure the bandits are aware that your community possesses the means to defend itself. This alone can serve as a deterrent and discourage attacks,” he said.
He stressed that Islam does not encourage people to remain helpless in the face of violence.
“It is not right for a Muslim to remain passive while criminals kill people, kidnap innocent citizens, and rape our women. Be prepared to defend yourselves, your families, and your communities against any attack,” the Emir stated.
The royal father lamented that many communities had become vulnerable because they lack the means to defend themselves.
He said, “When bandits attack, people start running, including village heads. This is happening because communities do not have adequate means of self-defence.”
He clarified that he was not encouraging communities to take the law into their own hands or engage in acts of terrorism, but rather advocating lawful self-defence, noting that the security challenge has become too overwhelming for security agencies alone to handle.
He said it was disheartening for communities to continue to lose lives without any form of resistance, while warning against ethnic violence and extrajudicial killings.
The emir warned that he would not support anyone carrying arms to attack other ethnic groups or engage in unlawful killings.
He said many of the attacks are reprisals, he therefore urged the communities not to carry out revenge attacks against innocent people because every unlawful killing only breeds another cycle of revenge.
The emir said that, although many members of the Lakurawa group had left the area, they had allegedly left behind armed bandits who continue to terrorize communities and maintain links with their former collaborators.
He called on communities across the Argungu Emirate to remain vigilant, cooperate with security agencies, and uphold the fear of God in all their dealings.

This is Ogidi in Anambra State after every rainfall. Soludo has refused to focus on governance but instead he is either campaigning for the failure “Tinubu” or he is lying about PO or he is oppressing Anambra youths with the recruited Agberoh. @CCSoludo
