Armed Forest Guard is good but I thinking deploying technology to monitor our forest is better

Ok

It's simply an amotekun upgrade. Now they can bear good arms and deal with any herdsmen who are human hunters. I hope he'll be serious about it. They're now in south west forest, unleashing mayhem daily

So why does kogi state have the highest revord of kidnapping across its numerous highways.
Terrorists attack Edo and Ondo and return into ading forests in kogi statr. Not sure it's forest guard he created

This country leaders are so stup!d! No creativity, no innovation, and no direction.

Tinubu Launches Armed Forest Guards Initiative— A Move Yahaya Bello Championed in 2017

Stop referencing yeye bello the criminal for any good policy of government. Do you know how many innocent lives bello took while in office? The aim of this armed security set-up is even entirely different from what you are telling us bello did with his criminal gangs.

helinues:
Lol

So only Yahaya Bello has such thought? Very funny

Tinubu had no such thoughts. It is normal for ruling government to borrow or implement ideas attempted or campaigned for by the opposition to garner more

princepee:
nonsense story...
He championed it , how much success did he achieve...
Championed forest guard, left kogi with over 86 billion....

So much so for a young governor.
We still have a long way to get it right.

If I ask now,u are from that region of hate,just take it easy on urself

Forest gurd to chase bandit with Ak47

Even military no fit withstand them

Nigeria never ready to insecurities

Instead of Forest gurd what happened to state police, why are they running from having state police

How about you?

kedeojo:
No governor has done better than Yaya Bello till date, in of security. My Local government share border with kogi state. Before been governor, insecurity was so high in kogi. He recruited alot of young guys. He armed them and pays well. They were paid higher than the most security outfit. Tinubu is doing the right thing. He should copy bello concept. Each of the forest guys are recruited from within their area.

I dont know what you are All about, But kogi state was never a red zone at any time, maybe few criminal activities But Bandist and terrorist where far from

Now to forest guard, these are just local average men with very minimal training on combat and weaponry, if Nigeria military cant successfully take out these terrorists what chance does a local forest guard stand

Every step Tinubu takes depicit unseriousness, it as if he plays with our intelligence .. seeking allies with our military force would have been more reasonable.

was Yahaya bello concept designed for boko haram

almarthins:


Exactly what I wanted to say: The forest security should be manned by indigenous people of the area. They know their forest more than any one. I the federal govt on this initiative.

Forest guard is not so different from the vigilantes and JTF, working up the north, how successive as the vigilantes being able to take down bandit

Our military force is failing and instead of calling for and guide from those that are doing Better, we want Forest guard to capture those that are shooting down our military for fun

How can vigilantes with victorian era gun be effective?

You want them to fight an enemy equipped with assault rifle and automatic guns. In my opinion that is not a well matched fight. Give them good weapons and see how they will outrun their enemies because of area advantage.

Spew it

Good idea. God bless Yaya Bello

Good point to the best of your knowledge, Even though i agree sophisticated weapon are top leverage, winning against a fearless lunatic terrorist requires excellent skills and tactics

Forest guard dont have the training/skills required to match deranged terrorist, if a Us marine handle weapon for you even a general in Nigeria military will marvel ... these are the areas we need to pay attention to and upscale

Good Weapon is vital, high skill forces is also vital to win the war against insurgence

Forest guard has been part and parcel of the civil service and a section in the forestry department, long before Bello was even born...

Bello championed nothing...get your fact straight before trying so hard to glory the useless criminal...

ogbonti:
Bola stop gas lighting Nigerians

creating forest guards as IF you will allow them do their work

When forest guards catch bandits and hand them over to the police, the bandits will be released the next day

to come back and k i ll the forest guards

is that not what the police is doing ? releasing fulani kill er herdsmen and kidnappers on "orders from above?"

those above - giving the orders to the police will also make sure forest guards will be useless in protecting Nigerians!

Nigeria medicine is nothing but separation, nepotism and tribalism is irredeemable in Nigeria, thank God I am a German citizen with my wife and kids .

Should that then make him the next president or should that clear him of his misappropriation ?

Nonsense people

U no go live Dem!

Na all this Bello Ambassador boiz... Na hustle Dem dey so... Country hard

Each local government must recruit at least 500 forest guards to secure the local government and must be an indigenes.

I wish Nigeria works for us all - This is the land of our birth, the land of our fathers - it is a shame we all cant defend it because the government is aiding and abetting the invaders and criminals to destroy this beautiful country!

Yahaya Bello Should Sit This One Out

It is laughable—no, insulting—that Yahaya Bello dares to position himself as a forerunner of forest security and a pioneer of effective governance. The same Yahaya Bello who presided over a state riddled with unpaid salaries, deteriorating infrastructure, and rising insecurity now wants credit for a half-baked, publicity-stunt version of what President Tinubu is trying to implement on a serious national scale?

Let’s be clear: recruiting 300 so-called “forest guards” in Kogi without proper training, equipment, or long-term strategy was nothing but a gimmick. A hollow PR move masquerading as governance. If Bello’s so-called forest guards were even remotely effective, Kogi wouldn't have been a breeding ground for kidnappers, illegal loggers, and armed criminals throughout his tenure.

And the audacity to flaunt awards like “Most Security Conscious Governor” from faceless, compromised groups—likely paid praise-singers—just adds insult to injury. The people of Kogi know the truth: under Bello, insecurity festered, public funds vanished, and civil servants were pushed to the brink of poverty while his cronies fattened themselves on state resources.

Let’s not rewrite history. Tinubu’s national forest guard initiative is rooted in urgency, structure, and scale—something Bello’s istration never had the competence or will to execute. Trying to latch onto this moment to polish his image is not only desperate, it’s delusional.

Yahaya Bello should focus on answering the growing calls for ability over his time in office instead of shamelessly inserting himself into national conversations he has no business being part of. #Festacman #Legendhero #Topbanter #Seun #AntiChristian

Alright! #TheJustPart #Jimrohn #WanderTryangle

Very stupid journalism. Forest guards have been in Midwest, Bendel and Edo and Delta. Just say from 1963 till date, nothing like Yeyebello initiative
