"Last year, my nephew was kidnapped alongside three people. They were taken a few kilometres into the bush and spent 37 days there. At the time, I was working in Aso Villa. There was hardly anybody I didn't speak to. We gave them the coordinates, which were easy to get. The first time, they asked for N25 million, three motorcycles, a lot of drugs, a lot of medications, rice, and all sorts of things. All in all, between the first day they were kidnapped and when they were released, we spent close to N175 million." — Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, recounts his family's ordeal with kidnappers while serving as special adviser on political matters in the office of Vice-President Kashim Shettima
RESTRUCTURING HAS COMMENCED ALREADY. MADAM JUST NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO SOME OF PBAT SILENT INITIATIVES STARTING WITH THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONS.
I read the article from @obyezeks titled “State Police is not the answer, restructuring Nigeria is”.
2: her focus was on removing items from exclusive list so as to allow full restructuring.
3: My opinion: Restructuring can be done in piecemeal so as not to play to our anti-restructuring elements.
-(a): So state police is part of restructuring and should be implemented immediately.
4: But I am worried when she said “exclusive list centralizes authority over prisons, mines and minerals, railways, arms and ammunition and other strategic functions”.
-(a): May I remind her that “prisons” is no more under exclusive list but concurrent.
-(b): State Governments are CONSTITUTIONALLY EMPOWERED TO SET UP, BUILD, and MANAGE their own prisons or correctional facilities. So states house of assemblies should perform their duties.
5: RAILWAY: state governments can legislate, construct, maintain and operate their own intra-state railway systems without needing FEDERAL CLEARANCE.
6: @obyezeks should direct her advocacy to state governments. Let us implement what the restructuring laws in place first before comprehensive ones she is advocating.
@Chima_Obi1234 Really...? Politics don't work that way. Not all Christians believe in Obi's capacity to lead Nigeria talk less of leaders. In addition, politics of religion is myopic. Leadership in Nigeria can not be reduced to Christians against Muslims. There's no Christian Party in Nigeria
@fkeyamo Weldone sir for great work within aviation industry. More grace to you. However, there's an urgent need to update the public about the recent incident in Delta State with aircraft landing on concrete road and taking off. There are all kinds of speculations out there. Kindly act.
@BashirAhmaad The problem is, in one hand, new operations are being launched to demonstrate our seriousness in fighting tjis menace of insecurity, but on the other hand our unseriousness is evidenced through nonsensical rehabilitation of these dangerous criminals back into the society.
These are why SOME Igbos are in their thousands if not millions in foreign prisons.
