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 thinks he knows a lot and has in depth knowledge about how to solve the economic, security and power problems.
I strongly believe BAT will flaw him very easily. I want BAT to mess him up so badly in a debate.
I'm using this medium to beg all APC supporters and believers of Asiwaju's knowledge of governance to accept an open debate to teach Peter Obi serious lessons.
Adams Oshiomole raised a motion in the senate & demanded a probe into how the billions being allocated to security are being spent.
He also asked the house to probe who commanded the security forces to be withdrawn moments before the Kebbi school kidnapping.
And guess what happened?
The Senators rejected the motion.
The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.
Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.
Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.
This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?
At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.
It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.
The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.
The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.

Imagine for a second having a President who executes perfectly such as this; frankly speaking, watching this gave me goosebumps:
-Great communication skills
-Clarity of thoughts
-Precise understanding of the issues
- Facts, figures, the whole enchilada!
What more can you ask for in a global leader? It’s about time!
-A new Nigeria is POssible

Little children are in the kidnappers den in the forest, 1st Lady, Remi Tinubu is sharing campaign vehicles on TV for her husband’s relection?
A soulless family.
"They tell us to hate Igbos and never allow them to become President. Yet, it is our own northern brothers who are killing our people every day. And the same people that tell us to hate Igbos are the ones defending our killers.
Maybe it's time we focus on the real problems instead of being divided by ethnicity."
This is not the answer to a failed federal Police. Nigerians and the government do not assess and analyze critically to raise questions as to why policies and projects failed.
Now, how did Nigeria Policing system failed?
Another issue is insecurity?
Think about it, what are we solving by creating State police ahead of solving the main and major issues around policing and insecurity in Nigeria.
If Federal Policing has failed Nigeria for decades, State police will copy the same model and continue to be a failure. This time just in the hands of the Governors.
There was a fake audio attributed to President Tinubu about 1week ago, which was wrongly attributed to VDM.
That same day the government sprang into action threatening to arrest VDM and to fish out those behind the fake audio. All this was simply because of politics- as the voice note makes claims of certain words by the president that are potentially politically damaging to his demonic 2nd term ambitions.
Today LESS THAN 1WEEK,
The government has arrested the person they claim is behind the fake audio.
By the way,
This is the same government that has failed repeatedly to fish out terrorists who kidnap, slaughter and murder Nigerians on a daily basis.
As I type this,
Over 40 children, including 2yr olds and 3yr olds are tied up in kidnapper caves for over 2weeks and this govt has FAILED to fish out the terrorist animals behind it. Yet see the speed they used to find the man behind the fake audio said to be Tinubu voice.
It is very clear:
It is not that the nigerian security agencies are weak if they choose to do their job, it is that the nigerian government is useless, satanic, pathetic and simply does not prioritise the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
Your life doesn’t matter to Tinubu.
Always remember this. Never forget.
