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

Nineteen days.
That's how long dozens of children have remained in captivity while families wait, hope, and ask the same question every day.
Some are toddlers. Some left for school and never returned.
Every day in captivity is one day too many.
Where are they?
INEC chairman made a social media post promoting the president.
The president’s aide issued a press statement on INEC’s behalf, well before INEC reposted it.
A minister’s aide accessed INEC’s database and shared a citizen’s personal data on social media.
Livinus Nwosu is trending because the Pastor-turned-activist has gone missing, he was allegedly taken away by the DSS in Bayelsa for;
Doing house-to-house voter sensitization; educating villagers against selling their votes for rice, teaching them about INEC registration, and exposing them to daily realities of other Nigerians, and how the government is reacting to insecurity and the economy.
He basically preaches Vote Wisely, until he was taken away today around 8am as he was leading people to get their PVC in Bayelsa State, by masked men in black, suspected to be Police or the DSS.
Apparently, it’s not the first time he’s been taken but this time, there are no traces. His wife reached out to VeryDarkMan and the ratel movement over Livinus’ his dissapearance.

This guy was going to neighborhoods to make people aware of the insecurity in the country and why they need to come out and vote.
I heard he was kidnapped.
His name is Livinus Nwosu.
It was said that he was kidnapped by an armed unknown men.
Imagine they could find him to kidnap him but they couldn’t find the kidnappers in Oyo State.
You’re a wicked person, if you’re supporting APC.
The ratel member, Livinus that’s going around rural areas sensitising people to get their PVCs and vote right have been allegedly picked up by unknown men 🙆🏼♂️💔
"This morning, while on our way to register for our voter cards after being mobilized by Livinus Nwosu, some unknown individuals wearing masks allegedly stopped and picked him up at Berger Roundabout in Bayelsa State."
— A man claims.
At the time of reporting, no family member or relative has publicly confirmed the claim.
Nnamdi Kanu warned about most of the things happening now, especially the kidnappings. These Fulani bandits were coming from God knows where in trucks and settling in our bushes/forests, he was screaming and calling on the people to do something but they called him a mad man.
