Thanks okphebolo. When Jonathan was president, almost 400 young girls were kidnapped from their school and not found till today. It took him more than a month to be convinced. He was a weakling and couldn't do anything about the boko haram losing many towns and cities to the insurgents until he allowed Buhari to sweep him away from power.

2015
In January 2015, less than a year after the 2014 Chibok abduction, in the village of Malari, Borno State about 40 boys and young men were abducted by Boko Haram.
2018
In February 2018, approximately four years after the 2014 Chibok abduction, in the nearby town of Dapchi again another 110 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram, with no government intervention intercepting the abductors yet as of 4 March 2018.
A UNICEF report released in April 2018, claimed that more than 1,000 children have been kidnapped by Boko Haram since 2013.
2020
In December 2020, more than 500 boys were abducted by a group of masked gunmen from a secondary school in Kankara, a town in Nigeria's northwestern state of Katsina. Later, Boko Haram took responsibility for the abductions. Seven days after the incident, 344 boys out of the group were released due to successful negotiations by the Nigerian government.
2021
In February 2021, three mass kidnappings occurred at schools in Nigeria. In the first incident, gunmen kidnapped over 40 people, including at least 27 students, from a school in north-central Nigeria. In the second incident, on 25 February, gunmen abducted 317 girls from the Girls Science Secondary School in Jangebe, Zamfara State. In March 2021, another mass kidnapping in Afaka resulted in 39 students (made up of 23 females and 16 males) being abducted from Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, in the Igabi local government area of Kaduna State.
2024
Most recently, on 7 March 2024, criminal groups (commonly described as bandits) attacked in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State in north-west Nigeria. They abducted about 286 students and teachers at the LEA Primary School Kuriga. A few weeks later, Kaduna state authorities announced the release of 137 of the abducted students.

GEJ is nothing but a weakling and a mistake even as he may be a good-hearted individual. Their is no major policy or reform, good for Nigeria's future, he took a decisive and immovable stand on. He was a huge mistake as President.

He was just marking time in the office of President and demonstrating first hand the sort of cowardly and slavish Southern devotee of the North, like Obi, who should never lead Nigeria.

Okpebholo's comment before is deep thought for critical thinkers as it vividly illustrates the sort off bold reforms, regardless of whose Ox is gored, President Tinubu is willing to take that leads to the stunning results Okpebholo highlights below.

the gov said trash...Daily people are been kidnapped both in large numbers and small numbers yet no action or response from the presidency. Does the nigeria economic look like a growing one??

Are you saying TINUBU is revenging for pro Wike lawmaker?

A good leader does not takeside regardless of party alliance.

Yes, a good leader does not take side, a good leader just sits and watches how governors destroy state institutions and blow pipelines.

The illiterate Governor should go back and learn how to read a budget before putting Jonathan's name in his mouth..

He's talking of Chibok,
Just last week, 3 Nigeria solders were beheaded in Yobe shown live on video,
Farmers all over the North are maimed and killed, some pay ransom just to farm, In Ondo people are dying everyday, In Benue nkor?

The useless president called Tinubu is declaring SOE because of pipeline and this Okpebolo who can't even spell his name has an opinion.

Okpebolo is not even supposed to be a secondary school head teacher.

Ugly Dumb, intelligent Governor.

Rubbish! Is it your mouth he’s using to talk sense now? Till today who knows the whereabouts of the Chibok girls kidnapped under Jonathan’s lackadaisical rule? It made worldwide news but no one can figure it out till today. Did Nigeria have a President at Jonathan’s time or a woman wrapper? ….Madam Patience (aka waka come) and Deziani Madueke were just twiddling our Jonathan on their finger tips. See how much Diezani stashed away under his watch!
Answer that one nah ….since you can talk better! cool cool!

Monday Okpebholo don't know that 1.6trillion Naira when Jonathan was president is equivalent to about 16trillion Naira today.Zero IQ please Edo people explain to this so called Uni Abuja graduate.
That man is really dull. I was astonished when I read that nonsense that he said.

He is happy that they are sharing 1.6 trillion now and that it was the annual budget of the country during Jonathan and even used same to praise Tinubu.
That man is dull to a fault.

That his line of argument is actually confirming Tinubu has destroyed Nigeria but because he is dull, he does not know

Dullard President who created an economy 100 times more prosperous than a druggie.

Under a dullard President you bought fuel for your "I my neighbour" generator for less than 100 Naira.

You bought rice for 10k under a dullard President...

Even if you want to defend APC, do it intelligently

Is Boko Haram not holding a Nigerian territory till date?
Were school girls not kidnapped by Boko Haram post GEJ govt?
Has Leah Sheribu been returned to her parents till date?
Is life better in Nigeria since Tinubu came in?
Are you aware that those behind the formation APC are the same people that orchestrated the chibok girls kidnap?
Are you aware that a Boko haram kingpin was hidden in Borno state govt house headed by Shettima?
Have insecurity indices dropped since May 2023?
Do you know that Tinubu don't care about you and your fellow SW? Recent news from Ondo state gives credence to this
Be Patriotic to Nigeria, not party.

Thanks to my governor, you spoke well. We don't do sentiment mostly in Edo. Jonathan was a big failure to south south. Can Jonathan point to any road infrastructure carried out in south south. He will just go and patch some area or start few kilometers and abandoned it. East west road is an example. How can you be president for six years and couldn't complete that road. Someone who could not take a decisive decision during his time. He should go and sit down cos he misuse our chance. Only God knows when that opportunity will come again.

People are talking and this one that cannot even call out figures in his budget presentation is putting mouth...lol

Nothing supercedes the 1999 constitution which the president swore to uphold!

The constitution is explicit on what constitutes the imposition of state of emergency and the same constitution also makes it clear about how elected officials can either be removed or suspended and none had anything to do with state of emergency!

Any disobedience of the constitution by the president should be taken as a serious matter and in saner climes could even snowball into an impeachment proceeding against him!

Interestingly,the same Tinubu who has imposed and suspended elected officials had in 2013 criticized GEJ for imposing a state of emergency in three war ravaged states in borno,yobe and Adamawa yet GEJ maintained the respective governors and state assembly in those state in accordance with the constitution!

My happiness is that very important personalities are speaking up and outrightly condemning the unconstitutional actions of the president which has forced the presidency to change their reasons for taking that illegal stance!

I do hope this illegality by the presidency is taken to the apex court for their own interpretation but with their recent kangaroo judgements and strong allegations of financial inducement from the executive,I have my doubts!

See a clueless and indecisive governor who does not even know what is happening in the state is talking about national issues. Blind man wan claim to see who get eyes. Okpebholo that cannot even coordinate the agberos in Edo who have destructed lives and properties. Na Edo them need to suspend the useless governor. The little gift that was killed by your suppose PSR, did you say anything about it. Your aides have been in the news for the wrong reasons. A state that has acting local government chairmen and also celebrating the decamping of the acting local government chairmen that are his party . Like father like son, because that was how the olodo suspended elective local government chairmen. If APC understand wetin people dey talk, nobody is challenging the state of emergency but the suspension of the elective officer is what people are saying. God really punish us as a people with this plague called APC.
