Weak parties no ideologies, only money politics, filled with cheap people with no integrity or moral com.

mastermaestro:


Tinubu's istration may be anyhow, but never blame him for the carnage going on in the North. I will keep saying it. No Southern president should ever entangle himself with their conflict. They created it.

Have you all forgotten the backlash Jonathan suffered for trying to wipe out terrorists in the North? Tinubu, as very wise politician, just pays deaf ears to whatever terrorism that goes on in the North.

When you fight terrorism in the North as a Southerner, the same Northerners will accuse you of ethnic cleansing. Let them sort it out themselves! The North will have peace when they truly want to.

You have a point, North think they are wise, but they are on a part to set destruct, the south should get its state police and enact strong anti grazing and anti iron condemn boys, as well as ban begging in the south, all these is how northerners fill up the south with their attrocieties, and these are security threats. South should come together and create a southern regional security network, we need to alienate the North and leave them alone to bear consequences of their actions and choices.

End fuel importation and save the naira from collapse.

Igbo amaka, even Azikwe influenced Awo a lot but the latter only ended up betraying him and destroying the nation.

Lame, you sound like a kid.

stasius:


Northerners know what they are playing.
My friend who was a soldier in the army opened my eyes after he told me of their terrible acts.
These people will be crying that bandits have finished them and calling government to help them but they themselves will also give the bandits details of every movement by the government/army to eliminate them.
As you are chasing their oppressors they will be chasing you behind to hack you down with their arsenals.

How can you liberate someone who loves his oppressor and is not ready to help you fish them out?
Exactly!

You are right, the jihadists ideology is confusing them, some of these bandits/terrorists come as jihadists. Indoctrination and ignorance can destroy a nation.

She deserves help from the government and Nigerians.

PigTormentor:
The attention seeking sore loser should be picked up and locked up. 3nd of story.
There is nothing like shadow govt in this executive system of govt.
It's illegal.

He clearly explained what he meant, this is purely a civil organisation to check government excesses which democracy allows.

nairalanda1:


Yet you ed DSS going after APC in 2014, while you don't them going after Utomi.

You just want your side to win, old man. Better change your thinking.

As for me, DSS had no business going after Utomi today, and APC back then. Simple and short.

Am not a party pawn, am not a sycophant, I am neither in APC nor PDP because they are both mediocre, what they are engaging in is money politics not ideological politicking, that is why they jump from one party to another all about their pockets. not every youth is cheap and gullible like you folks. Don't be a pawn...all politicians are in one boat, the people are in a seperate boat be wise.

nairalanda1:


1. Well, I am not defending any politican here, just showing that GEJ was not the gentleman you guys portray him to be. He did send the DSS after enemies, and his wife had her own personal attack er K9 in the NPF...who once jailed two journalists for 'insluting the honor of the first lady' (it took the intervention of the current Oba of Lagos, who was the guy's superior when he was in the force, before the journos were relased).

2. And anyw ay, DSS Is meant to go after anyone who they perceive to be a threat to the government..after adequate intelligence (and Utomi's shadow government does not really constitute a threat).

3. Your comment is in itself dangerous. You are essentially saying that it is OK for the DSS to go after the oppositon you don;t like, while they should leave the oppositon you like. Kind of weird...and wrong.

4. And anyway, I believe that the DSS should not have gone after APC in 2014, or Utomi today. Either way it is wrong. It is only when they have intelligence that they are stockpiling arms and weapons and training people in the bush, that yes, they should strike.

We should do better, going forward and giving our so called democracy space to mature and be truly a democracy of the people and for the people by the people, not politicians.

Why are the army in the barracks when people are killed at random by savages?

Crocodile tears, he should be relieved of his post, efficiency is the key not sentiments and mediocrity...sentiments and all these hypocrisy is what is making Nigeria not progress, what has crying have to do with this?

Nigeria is in trouble.

The people choose to be unintelligent, they become pawns, sycophants and slaves for politicians, of course politicians will take advantage.

nairalanda1:


DSS did go after APC back then. Not for the shadow government threat specifically, but for a host of other reasons, including when APC was doing its hip drive, and DSS agents raided the registration office and carted away supplies.

And yes, there was the constant accusation and implication that APC was behind boko.

I am no APC er, but GEJ did send the DSS after them.

Pat Utomi is a renowned activist, he is speaking from a place of good faith...not political party with sinister motives and modus operandi. The two scenarios are very different..
I wonder why you people give all your power to politicians, even if you are an APC member, when politicians want to take away civil rights, every sensible conscious person will stand on the side of freedom of expression and allowing public space operate and give their own opinions freely... democracy is about the people and constitution not about the feelings or fears of political office holders.

Pat Utomi clearly explained what he meant, a type of check and balance public board, which is allowed on a democracy. In a democracy the people have the people, Pat Utomi and this forum are part of the people, hence can come together and scrutinize the government. Freedom of expression is sacrosanct, exceptions to violence of course...there is no violence or incitement here.

Why is APC government afraid of scrutiny?

Lagos State government should be responsible and build low cost housing first and start with theirs so landlord follow suit. This mouthing makes no sense when you don't even have any public housing options for the people. Lagos Government can build low cost housing for residents as part of government responsibility to the people, like the late Sir Lateef Jakande of blessed memory did.

DMerciful:
With state police, forest guards are unnecessary. This is beating around the bush. People demanded for state police, you're doing crude forest guards

Clown, police do not stay in forest. You sound like a kid. Governors should push for state police, the state police will be paid for by states, it's in the hands of state governors and senators not the president.

maxymalik:
State police is the solution and not forest grass. WhatsApp for your biodigester construction and installation 08039344310

Do police stay in forest?

DMerciful:
Tinubu is avoiding state police for personal reasons. Shameful

State police is different from this, be objective, and sound like an intelligent human being, forests guards and state police are two different things, don't sound dumb.

..

DMerciful:
Is this supposed to be in place of state police?

You can keep clamouring for state police, people like you clamoured for this, this is not state police but a very important security layer in checking activities of bandits and kidnappers hiding in the forests.

nightsaint:
Stupid policy. What happened to the police, DSS, NSCDC, e.t.c. What happened to equiping them very well. Must we always duplicate things and waste money?

You are dull, or maybe you are one of the kidnappers trying to sabotage good news... forests guards are for forests, the others you call have their roles and special designation. Most of you are very evil, you people truly want this country destroyed, but it's you and your other detractors and saboteurs that will be destroyed. Bad belle

nedu666:



I will appreciate it if they are well armed. Not like enugu forest rangers that were given 2 by 2 , big torch light, rain boot and helmet.

Why not confirm if they will be well armed, I saw where they wrote well armed... don't be an enemy of progress, bad belle no dey see good.

franchasng:
Boko Haram and Bandits have already advanced by acquiring sophisticated attack drones they now use to attack our soldiers and Nigerian federal government is still indecisive of buying drones to combat these animals easily without exposing Nigerian soldiers to untimely death in the hands of worthless Moslem terrorists and Fulani land grabbers disguising as herdsmen



Nigeria military should go to Ukraine or China to acquire cheap attack drones to mount 247 surveillance on our major highways and terrorists and killer herdsmen flashpoints, stop wasting our youths in the name of fighting these worthless Moslem terrorists

European youths died for Europe in world war2, European youths went to Afghanistan, Iraq protecting freedom. You are just a lazy saboteur.

anytexy:
Herdsmen open grazing should be addressed first. - Otherwise, it won't fly.

State governors can outlaw it in their states, state governors should wake up, Nigerians should hold state governors responsible.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
if Tinubu do this one, all his sins are forgiven, if we can flush out Fulani terrorist out of our forest, our problems in Nigeria is 80% solved

Yes

Mr president thank you for kick starting the forests guards initiative, it's long overdue. I hope it will be continued and made to grow and develop over time, by different incoming new istrations.

Recruits of the forests guards should be domiciled to operate and work in their states of origin...locals know their forests more and locals will be more ionate about guarding their own state etc.

funshint:
Hope the recruitment will be from Local Govt level with attestation from the traditional leader or community head for every candidates. I don't want a situation someone will be brought from Kano to come and man forests in Osun. And I hope they'll carry nothing less than AK-47 to start with.

Exactly

Chienex24:
Armed forest guards with ak47 against a terrorist group that kills with armed drones? We are not serious in this country

You are not serious. If you see something good appreciate it.

Very good, forests guards should be from states and towns they are domiciled. Recruit indigenes to guard at their states of origin.

Sadly most men are just tolerating tired women, who just want to eat, watch content and sleep

His vibration very high, his soul/energy definitely is in a higher state.
