All northern state seems to be living in a war zone.

Eventually, the northern leaders don dey wake up small small. It might be too late

Nice one Tambuwal, my advice is that the use of motorcycle should be banned in the entire country as soon as possible, ipob terrorist that are supplying weapons to Nigeria should be quickly eliminated, bandits should be severely dealt with

jokers

Ok

Totilopussylick:
All northern state seems to be living in a war zone.

If not properly handled, it may spread to other parts of the country, soon.

If you ask me, I'll tell you that many of our leaders in the North know and understand how security challenges in their region can be resolved. Many of them understand the geographical and demographic peculiarities, political and religious views/ sympathy for extremism of their people.

Unfortunately, what is lacking is the political will to do what has to be done. Many of them don't wish to be seen as infidels and some would definitely look to the leaders/ sponsors of the terrorists for political and thugs for elections.

Meanwhile, you can the dialogue for the advancement of Artificial Intelligence in Nigeria.

Artificial Intelligence is impacting the future of virtually every industry and every human being.

Like Dr Kai-Fu Lee "Artificial Intelligence is going to change the world more than anything in the history of mankind. More than electricity."

Funding in AI, is another indicator of the momentum AI is gathering round the globe and the prospects. 2019 witnessed up to $53.6 Billion investment in companies providing artificial intelligence solution.

While many nations and Governments are paying SERIOUS attention to the development of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics development, Nigeria is basically not prepared.

You can Volunteer or this advocacy program to achieve its aim of consciously preparing Nigerian youth for an age where AI and robotic skills will be basic and fundamental. While we understand that it might take a tedious process to get the attention of our government, we wish to synergize our youth energies, including those in the diaspora.

Lmaoooo I see they’re waking up from slumber

They are slowly getting there senses back. Waiting on Baba lifeless to act on matters pertaining to security is synonymous with believing Taliban will allow the LGBTQ community relax in Afghanistan [unless a cow is involved ]

What is the agenda of the Northern Governors on these executive orders

Why are they releasing the orders almost at the same time

..and are similar..

-Banning transportation of firewood

-Banning some markets trading

-Banning transportation of Cattles

-Closing of some roads..

I bet a southern governor can not do this...meanwhile anyone notice the same recurring ban as that of Katsina?

This fire y’all started will eventually consume the lot of you.

Garbage shehu come and see the handwork of ipob Lols, small small una head go correct. Terrorist north

Copy and Paste template from Masari!

deedes:
Buhari is a Terrorist

Kindly explain pls

The case of these northerners is likened to a hunter who tried to smoke out a rat in his farm and he ended up burning the whole farm down when he couldn't contain the fire..

Or some fellow who equipped some certain sets of people to terrorize their neighbors and landlord but they too ended up caught in the crossfire

...
