But Without voting out APC, the insecurity will never stop.

Under PDP, people were being kidnapped and in one case I know of, killed.

APC came and lied that they would change things. Instead it got worse.

Ditto days of army rule. All we needed was civilian rule and we would be free.

Oga, I am of the opinion that no matter who we vote, and I no like APC or PDP because na one party them be, we need to do more than just change government.

Wodu89:



Okay. If I'm assigned a role in police cyber unit. I swear I got the Iq to decimate kidnappings by atleast 90%. We chose all these based on the people we place in authorities


Lol. I don forget say God don warn me never to police

Maybe we all need to change our mind on that.

successmatters:


Can you compare the insecurity in 2010 to the insecurity now? Be truthful.

The insecurity in 2010 was worse than in 1990 self.

No matter how we change government, until we do what needs to be done beyond changing government, the more things change the more they remain the same.

I don't your PDP or their APC. Useless parties

What do we do, complain on nairaland like you are doing now?

Then you don't really know whats happening in most roads in Niger state

Niger state is nothing to write home about I know that.

Most of the staff there that work in Abuja even disguised like farmers to come to Abuja especially those coming from Minna.


Lokoja own is,day light kidnapping.

Ok, let's allow the government to supervise the kidnapping

What else do you recommend?

I have ideas, but the problem with them is, they aren't stuff that can be compressed into Political points

After all, telling people they need to change is not something that is easily said.

So, we should fold our hands and watch the movie?

That Lokoja axis is the most dangerous area in the north.

That axis has been bad since 2007. I going to Abuja for the first time in my life by road. Some guys were pointing to our tyre. I told d driver looks like we got a flat, but d driver did not wait immediately, he waited about 2 km away. We got down looked around the car no flat. It was then high way patrol came to meet us, they told to move on that those pointing are armed robbers.

That was 2007 how much now when bandits are everywhere.

Nigeria don cast seriously.

How can a nation prosper when there is no security.

Why didn't they fly instead of driving on the road?

Did you actually typed this yourself?


You for just tell federal government to close all our roads.

The armed forces and police when they change their heads the new ones would do gra-gra for one week and enter their shells b4 u know it.

I can when d president appointed the new IGP he said I feel like a lion, so where is the toothless lion today.

nairalanda1:
Must have been horrifying.

At the end, the truth is, we have to do more than vote for the right party..we have to fight corruption, get more income to adequately find money for law enforcement, teach children to be good, find ways of attracting good foreign investment, working within the system, etc.

Anyway , abroad isn't safe either. A few minutes on Investigation discovery and CBS justice will cure ya of that illusion

No where is safe truly, but the type of things that happens in Nigeria can't happen in "abroad".... Do you know that there are some people who are still in captivity for more than two years. If it's in abroad, they are ready to shut down the whole state and all the security forces will put hands together to fish out the criminals, even if it means to comb the whole state to find them.

How some of you ask the why question is exactly the reason why dis country is gone. So people getting kidnapped on the road is supposed to be normal A very close family of mine were attacked in their own house around 1am on friday and their mother was taking away. So are we going to also ask why she didn't sleep in a hotel??

Don't mind them. This are the type of people that makes our politicians see us finish. Cos the politicians think we are all f**lish.

Who did you vote for in February?

All our leaders past and present contributed to the mess we are in.... It's not about who he voted.

Wodu89:
It's hi time educated people understand the importance of GPS enabled bracelets. With settings applied, cases of kidnaps can be resolved easily with such tech

Who will do the tracking?

The police? Abi individuals. Cos our police wey I know will deliberately frustrate you.

You don't know what I'm talking about. It's beyond your mental IQ. Leave am

Nooo, why do we have to vote the right person when we can throw tribal tantrums from morning till night, and deny competent people their win because of where they come from. We shouldn't be complaining.

Our youth will never learn. I feel for the sake of the life of Nigerians, let's break this nation so that all man will defend himself.

When we were crying and shouting about these evils and that it may continue, people called us Obidients and chose to Bury their heads in the sand.

Don't mind all those bigots.... It's just a matter of time before it reaches everyone.

Sasha said.... There is fire on the mountain and no one seems to be on the run.

Now the fire have left the mountain into the city.

Wodu89:



I'm a tech geek. Like I said sophisticated gadgets would auto broadcast situation, location, audio and video feeds to a specific/designated third party that can take action

Except if that third party is a private security forces, our own security won't do anything.

It can’t happen in many African countries. Forget abroad.

Even if you have Obi or Atiku ad President, our security officer’s have become lazy and it is only God that can help us.

I just wish president tinubu will sack all the officers of our security. Like maybe in the police now, he should just sack all the officers from and above. Am fully sure more than 75% of them have been compromised.

Forgive my ignorance, but since those senior rankers in the police aren't combatants, I believe Amy serious civilian with strategic thinking and planning will be able to shape the police in order.

No government would throw people’s father, husbands.and bread winners out of job. Why do you think Buhari could not sack service chiefs for a long time. Not with the 1985 coup experience.

So if we have men in position who aren't doing what they are supposed to do, they should just remain there enjoying salary without working abi.

Were they not employed to secure the country in the first place.

Fg should deploy
1000 policemen per state
1000 soldiers per state
1000 naval, airforce and civil defence per state
10,000 vigilante per state.
They should be well armed, man every road, every village should have a vigilante of 200 well armed men. There should be a unit to monitor the forest using drones. Do this and watch kidnapping on roads and homes end

All you can do is keep asking them if they lack any equipment to carry out their jobs and hope for the best. U can they are buying 2 Planes for the Air Force to monitor our coast against oil theives.

Let FG first send security men to line up our roads so that such kidnapping won't take place in the first place.

With all the equipment, if the men are incompetent, there won't be any improvement.

How do you describe the fact that bandits will attack a community and spend hours carrying out operation, yet there won't be any response from police. Then what is their use.

Nigerians resultant people. How do you explain poor youth corner travelling from Uyo to Zamfara and fear no catch am. She eventually got kidnapped. Yoruba would say b4 nko !!! U no no say dey go kidnap you.

That is y I say our people are resilient. Go to any motor park u would see people boarding buses to sokoto Zamfara minna etc

People have to continue leaving. A lot of Nigerians live by the day. If they don't go out and hustle that day, they won't eat. So u can't blame them.
