Just in: “No one is safe in Nigeria anymore. These armed bandits are growing bolder by the day. A kidnapping just happened inside my estate in Abuja today. If criminals can now strike within secured residential estates, then the safety of ordinary citizens is seriously in doubt.” — Lady cries out.
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
Q: “Atiku Abubakar should be disqualified because he is a tribal bigot. Atiku Abubakar is a threat to our democracy and unfit to be president”
Na who talk am?
And: Na Kenneth Okonkwo
I like what this guy said in this video in reply to Gospel singer Yinka Alaseyori, Everything he said is the fact.
—He said “PRAYER IS NOT WHAT WE NEED TO FIX NIGERIA 🇳🇬” That is a Religion and not Christianity.
He said he’s a Christian so please listen.
True story of what really happened with the Oyo school kidnapping that you won’t find anywhere in the media.
This broke my already broken heart. Yet all that APC minions are fixated on is “tribe” and Steeze
The end of this madness is near. Very near.
@tinyandagod Who are these guys, what space is this? I can't believe we have people like these working for Atiku for their personal gains. Oladipupo is even not coordinated.
I just came back From 2027.
Omo, as Tinubu was handing over to Obi,Gbajabiamila was shedding tears.
Wike was granting interviews, lamenting how they will challenge the elections in court.
Akpabio didn't win his reelection.
Nigerians home and Abroad were Jubilating and celebrating...
Welcome to the future
I call on all ADC presidential aspirants to refrain from public statements that may cast negative aspersion on our great party regarding the Presidential primaries
Any aggrieved aspirants should rather enforce their right of appeal in line with internal party democratic process
I REJECT THE CONCOCTED RESULTS OF THE ADC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES
Following reports of widespread voter disenfranchisement in most parts of the country during the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Primaries yesterday, I unequivocally reject the concocted results being announced.
I had initially stated that I will only accept the outcome of the Primaries if the process was free, fair, and transparent, and I stand by my word. I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold, to rescue Nigerians from the impunity and gross mismanagement that our country is currently facing in the hands of the ruling party.
There’s no way that about eighty percent of members of the party were not allowed to vote, and you expect me to accept such results. Then what makes us different from the others? The whole idea of the ADC was to give the Nigerian people a platform, to amplify the voices of the downtrodden, and make Nigeria a better place for everyone irrespective of backgrounds, ethnicity, or religion.
A party that criticizes the ruling APC and INEC for vote buying, rigging and writing of results, cannot be engaged in vote buying, writing of results, and other electoral malpractices that leads to the disenfranchisement of voters who are party members. This is not acceptable!
