Gumi is a strong supporter of PDP and an anti APC advocate as far back as 2015.

Zamfara governor is PDP, Bauchi governor is PDP

I am Just stating this for those that think PDP is a party full of angels and way better than APC.

Ever wondered why Atiku hasn't spoken against Herdsmen activities.
You are the one that read my comment upside down.

I was insinuating exactly the same thing you wrote.

Even if Atiku had won the last election, very little would have been different in the country today.

All Muslim politicians in the north across party lines are for north and pro-fulani with aim to dominate south politically and economically. In 2015, pdp politicians o from north worked against GEJ.

Reno always speak with 2 side of his mouth, didn't he support the amnesty given to Niger deltan terrorists even after the bomb blast in abuja and the bombing of government installations in Niger delta. He didnt remember sentimentalism during that period even though majority of the people were against the amnesty program.

Is Reno, the PDP supporter trying to say that ESN isnt a terrorists group? How can a fugitive create an illegal group in Nigeria? In the United states that reno lives does he think ESN and Nnmadi Kanu would have lasted a single day.

The hypocrisy of Mr reno is alarming.

Anyway,The amnesty was a scam set up to trick Niger deltans

Everybody is asking for amnesty and they are given.

if you give amnesty to only a tribe in a multi ethnic society like ours, other tribe will feel discriminated.

I love his signature, always ash-tagged.


BuhariTormentor.

Buhari and his northern co-criminals are the terrorists and bandits. Their stupid Islamic fundamentalist leaders are propagators of hate speech and divisions. So, nigeria is about to divide, courtesy of the northern elites and their foot soldiers. My problem is that southern leaders don't care and have refused to get sense.

YorubaPrince:
>90% of Nigerians including this hypocrite, Reno are MADDD! Just imagine a whole cleric advocating for murderers... Just imagine this same Reno that worked under an administration that raped the whole nation

Yet they all come out like they're saints... Like someone rightly mentioned up there, these bloody Nigerians would still go vote for them during election.

i can't see myself voting for any politicians in this contraption. even if he is my family member. not until will go back to regional government. some stupid people will still has hope in a constitution that was enacted to fail beats my immagination.

He has indirectly been a spokesperson for the bandits.

Which brings one to ask if it wasn’t planned.

Niger delta feeds the Nation... While her youths are abandoned... What do you expect
The money is theirs... To start with

But these Boko Haram terrorists what exactly to they bring to the table that they should be compensated for....

The fun fact about this thread is that Nigerians are busy defending their own criminals....

The whole amnesty things started with amnesty for the Niger Delta criminals, now everyone wants their own cut of the cake...Northerners inclusinve.

When the truth is, all of t hem...ND milltants, Boko, ESN, Bandits...should be in JAIL. With hard labour.

The t ruth also is all our polticans too should be held accountable for allowing these crisis to get to the stage to where it is.

But here we are. We are now in the position of giving Northern bandits amnesty (and it is sad Sheik Gumi is in the forefront...I thought he was better than that)...because ten years ago, we gave Niger Delta bandits amnesty. Which some of them have used to cash out.

Well, before anyone calls me a fulani slave, I am not. All I know is that if governments past and present had been serious about developing Nigeria, and about putting us to work, instead of building a myth about there being enough money for all of us to share, maybe we won't have been in this position.

It is sad Nigerians are backing ESN, BOKO, BANDITS, ND militants, Igboho,killer herdsmen e tc. Even on this site people were backing Gana of Benue because he was supposedly killing herdsmen, meanwhile he was also kidnapping and killing his own people...but hey, he also kills fulanis so he is a hero..... And so on..

When they should all be in JAIL.They should all recoieve no kobo. But with the kind of parties and people we vote into power....and with our refusal to pay taxes to properly fund our armed forces beyond where they are at now...

Every tribe is asking for amnesty to protect their terrorists and inmost cases they are given.

I am not in support of any armed militia, be it ESN, Amotekun, ipob, hisbah, etc but the America you quote have what is called boarder militia. They are armed to the teeth, conduct military excersices and patrol the boarders between Us & Mexico. The government is against them, they are being arrested but you will never hear America use gunships on its citizens!

Two of the biggest militia incidents in recent years were the Bunkerville standoff - when militia ran federal officials off a rancher's land, believing the government was there to seize cattle - and a similar standoff in Oregon, where militia took over a wildlife refuge in protest of government "interference" in ranchers' lives.

Before calling out other countries, try research first. No country is without internal conflicts & challenges. Its how they are handled that matters.

We are all bunch of hypocrites.



if it were peacefull protesters or IPOB now we will know how to handle the issue.


we all condemn Buhari and various politicians but during elections we would still line up to vote for this same politicians.


like i said we are all fvcking hypocrites.

The election part na him dey vex me pass. Youths are currently talking about 2023, the thing dey vex me.

What a beautiful truth successfully told by Reno.

The problem with ESN is that eastern governors are not standing behind them the way western governors stood behind amotekun

Insecurity: Criminals Are Cashing Out While Nigerians Are Busy Debating Along Ethnic And Religious Lines.

The most worrisome development in Nigeria today is the insecurity tearing the Nation apart. It is so perturbing that Nigerians are asking themselves “How Did We Get Here?”
This question indeed needs explanations from each and every one of us,
How did we get here? What a golden question, how did we find ourselves in such a terrible state that criminality is now the order of the day, and instead of Nigerians rejecting it outrightly they are busy turning the security challenges into ethnic and religious crises.
I find it funny that from the Federal Government through to the local government and the citizens governed hypocrisy seems to be the routine as regards the distressing security situation in the country today.
Who is a criminal? A person who has committed a crime.
Who is a bandit? A robber or outlaw belonging to a gang and typically operating in an isolated or lawless area.
Who is a terrorist? A person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Who is an insurgent? A person who revolts against civil authority or an established government.
With these few definitions from Wikipedia one fact is established, all of the above terms are outlawed and an act of criminality.
So what are the issues?
So why in some cases are the Federal and State governments romancing these criminals? What is the yardstick used in romancing known acts of crime?
A man in possession of an unlicensed gun is by default a criminal, and the law has adequate measures to handle criminals in whatever category of crime committed.
The issue of Fulani herdsmen and killer herdsmen ordinarily should not be a worrisome development if the Government, the people, and the security agents are non-partisan in their approach in fighting this menace.
Unfortunately, society and the government have tactically endorsed the unlawful acts of these criminals whether herders or bandits or whatever name you wish to describe them.
For example, a Governor comes public to defend Herders who carry AK 47 in protecting their cows. When in the first place only criminals can have access to AK 47.
How did the herder have in his possession a dangerous and lethal weapon of mass destruction? If the cows are too precious to be protected with an AK 47 what then stops the owner of his cattle in seeking the protection of mobile armed policemen to guide their most prized cattle? After all, bankers hire the services of armed security personals to secure their banks.
Is it legal for me to have in possession an array of AK 47’s because I want to secure my Hotel from Armed Robbers?
What experience do these herders have in handling such dangerous weapons? Are they certified? Do they have the right temperament to use arms?
Why should an investor put his investment in troubled spots? If the herders claim they carry weapons about to protect their cattle then whose fault is it? Why should the investor take his cattle to an unfriendly terrain thereby putting the lives of the cattle and the herders at risk?
What happened to the admonition that prevention is better than cure?
Suffice me to say that a herder in possession of illegal firearms is already guilty of a crime that makes him a criminal, so why are we debating or taking sides with a criminal under whatever guise?
If the people and government treat the possession of illegal firearms by herders according to the dictate of the law by now I think the genuine herders must have since been differentiated from the killer herdsmen.
The irony of the whole matter is that the guns are even products of the Nigerian Police Force and other security agencies which means people died for that gun to change ownership. (which is a heinous crime)
Moving away from the herders to the open negotiation of bandits with State Governments only shows how hypocritical we are in Nigeria.
Today the whole of the North is a war-torn zone with insurgents and bandits taking 0ver, States like Niger and Kaduna that have vowed not to negotiate with these criminals are already facing the heat.
Anyway if we say we are in search of criminals threatening the unity of our country and yet we see religious leaders and governors granting an audience with these insurgents brandishing RPGs and other sophisticated weapons that even our security operatives lack then what more criminals are we looking for?
Or is it that the criminals we seek are more sophisticated than the ones we are seeing with well-fortified weapons already?
Then the most worrisome issue is the people themselves are politicizing the obvious lacuna on the part of the government and security agencies.
Why should Miyetti Allah for example be defending its members found with firearms? Have you imagined if every Igbo man at Alaba carries an AK 47 to shop because of the huge value of his goods how chaotic the country would be?
Or are these cattle billionaire owners aware that a single phone could cost four times the amount of one cattle that they cherish like Gold?
Na be say like dis so na plenty AK 47’s suppose dey under the possession of that shop owner with over 100 iPhone 12 pro max? Or the Yoruba wig seller that has products worth over 200 million in her shop?
Miyetti Allah should stop defending criminals with weapons , if they need protection they should take the services of armed military personnel to guide their cow since they can not ranch the troublesome cattle.
All these politicians hiding under the canopy of amnesty and negotiations should stop defending their people neck-deep in banditry. Why should any sane human being associate with insurgent that has murdered hundreds of people and kidnapped many others, what is the foundation of their relationship?
The local indigents themselves should give up these criminals within their communities and stop justifying their criminal acts with irrelevant talks like the Niger Delta Militants were granted amnesty so they see no reason why the same bandits that kill and terrorize them should not be pampered.
Are we not wise enough to see that these criminals are cashing out big time and yet the country is busy politicizing insecurity?
Criminality must be treated for what it is without a single coloration of ethnic or religious bias.
Today northern governors are negotiating billions on behalf of terrorists while the rest of us are busy trading blames.
The question remains, who do us like this? Na how we take reach here?
Today criminality is idolized because the government and the relevant agencies are helpless and failed to perform their statutory duties of dealing decisively with criminals whether individually or collectively.
May God help us all.

I don't believed in given the Armed Bandit any amnesty. They are bunch of terrorist, just like Boko Haram, IPOB and ESN, they are all terrorist. Reno you are hypocrite in your submission. They are criminals in respective of their tribe, religion or region but you are talking of Hisbah, what brought Hisbah here if you are not taking side or fanatic. Rubbish, you rendered your write-up unsubstantial and hypocritical.

Memphis357:
Now that terrorists in the sahel regions know that in Nigeria they can unleash terror and get paid huge sums of money by the government, let everyone in the North prepare for full blown terrorism. Yes! It will never filter into the South. IS and Al Qaeda have been watching.

Northern Nigeria will regret this move they made .

Buhari will be safely tucked away in Niger Republic while northern Nigeria will burn to ashes Post 2023 .

Wait and see

It is already in the South bro, Oyo, Ondo Ekiti and Ogun States. They are not coming as Boko Haram but as Fulani Herdsmen and Bandits. wonder why they are trying so much to get a foothold in Ogun State reserve? Cos their target is Lagos, they know very well that there are no forest in Lagos State so Ogun being the nearest will be used as a base. They will use the attack and retreat method.

IME1:
Granting killers and murderers amnesty is like asking a serial criminal for his allocutus!
What difference should it make?
Before you sentence someone you ask him what he has to say?
Of course he will say every sweet lie for you to have mercy on him.
But thereafter...


The truth is that the Niger Delta militants didn't rape,
kill or destroy outside of their lands.
I can't recall hearing they raped kidnapped victims
or went into other's lands and businesses looting.

They were given amnesty cause they had lost their livelihoods
to foreign oil companies who polluted their waters and pushed
them off arable lands, contaminated their air and prevented farming even on land.

They became jobless, hapless and conquered
by foreigners with the full chest support from the Nigerian government.

Now on the slip side, our Hausa Fulanis right from the get go and more outwardly in 2009 started Boko Haram which diversified to ISWAP, bandits, herdsmen, rustlers and what have you.
Up till today we don't know their pain or agitation.

But let's try-

Boko Haram - western education is bad as it teaches underage marriage, free acquisition and use of guns, drug abuse and use of tramadol, beastiality and video tech to send messages and footages of abducted victims.
In fact we should go back to stones and sticks.

Seriously? Is western education that is our problem, and we are fighting to attend mission schools in religious regalia? To learn what? What do they teach in conventional schools? Definitely not catechism or islamia. So what the fuss? You don't want to learn physics, literature and maths? Did western education teach me terrorism

ISWAP - they want a political region where Islam is the basis like the Arab world and circle with Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi, UAE, Qatar and the others Yemen and all. So they intend to displace Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon and CAR and others?

Seriously? Isn't that modern day colonisation? Is conquest still allowed? Can a sovereign nation just override another nation without qualms? See how China is battling Taiwan and Hong Kong. Or Russia battling Ukraine. Or Spain battling Catalonia. Modern day occupation! And we should just siddon look? That na dog name na

Bandits, Herdsmen, Rustlers - these ones justify their acts by quoting ancient degrees that Gowon and Co gave allowing them to graze from Futa jalon to the Atlantic undisturbed. Even if they have to pass the express roads and train tracks. They have right over anything their cows like to eat even if it's inside your pot on a stove in your interior village. If you stand against them, you dishonour the agreement they made with imposed leaders of old which you were not part of or privy to.
They say they have a right to kill, rape and destroy because - their cows were stolen, military are killing and resisting them, indigenes are not letting them graze, governors are making laws against them and not fulfilling their monetary promises, Buhari and other northern governors are not living up to their pre-election promises to them.

Seriously? Your cows are stolen by rustlers or military and you unleash your anger on all and sundry. You want to graze down south in harmattan and you destroy another's farm and livelihood? You mess up tarred streets with dung and say you are helping to fertilise the south? Our goats, poultry, manure, fertilisers are of no consequence then!
They had a pre-election agreement to soak dogs and baboons in blood, and the promiser didnt pay them as promised with lots of money and cows but instead left them with the guns, transistors and drugs and focused on empowering his children, Aisha, northern elites and his native country with railway and refineries to supply refined fuel to his conquered territory for now N180 and electricity tariff at N2000 for 54 units and N400 per 1 kg of gas (which is flaring and wasting but polluting the atmosphere in Port Harcourt and Warri causing soot)!

So is this how amnesty works?

Will you grant amnesty to Internet fraudsters or rapists or convicted politicians or protesters or jail-breakers or ...

If you were born at the time of Buhari's first time as head of state and you still used your full chest, intellectual cap and hand to cast vote to support him, data to campaign for him and online and offline platforms to malign others who didn't support him based purely on his past antecedents and bleak likelihood of future performance, you must humble yourself, admit your error and double your effort to stand against evil as Saul turned Paul went from undiluted evil fanatic to a pure zealous truthful missionary, Paul doubled his zeal for the right cause when he converted.

If we supported an Umaru from Katsina a Fulani, and a Mooshud from Ogun a Muslim (with a fellow Muslim vice)
Then don't zombie'arize by calling us bigots and tribalists when we stand 100% against a Muhammadu oko Aisha kevbe Nna Yusuf, if truly he's the one!
It's nothing personal. We don't hate. We are not biased. We will stand against even blood relatives and tribesmen and fellow faith men who do the same thing, worse or less.

Why can't we call a shovel a shovel?

The government led by Buhari and his 36 governors and FCT Minister have failed totally in security matters and multiple other areas - jobs, health, integrity, federal character, openness, corruption fight and price regulations (of food, electricity, pure water, school fees, fuel, diesel, kerosene, rent, transport, flight fares, all, even to get transcript!)

Please soro soke, me I have and I will

Well said

The problem with ESN is that eastern governors are not standing behind them the way western governors stood behind amotekun

Amotekun was an initative of the Southwestern governors themselves

Esn is just Nnamdi kanus private matter. No input from the SE governors
