EricBraven: My brother there is hardly money for patrol vehicles not to talk of maintenance/fueling. What happens to equipment, training, operational expenses, etc. Will they use their salaries to protect civilian. The last time my car was stolen, I went to the nearest police station which was maitama and the policeman in charge asked me to buy credit to recharge in order to call other units. To tell you how bad the situation is within the force. It happened right in side the station. The military picked up the role of the police and got extra funding. You will even see them with better patrol vehicles and no issue with black market operator in the area. The one that surprises me most is the air force personnels mounting road blocks. The truth is army is army and police is police. Police just need manpower, better training and funding and they will do the needful. |

mekussa: For a country with the kind of population we have should have federal, state and community policing in order to be effective. If the policing structure is effective am sure we would hardly even remember the military. For you to know the police can never be effective just study Nigerian budget over the last 15 years and tell me if you can make any difference with it. The military killed the police force back then in the 70s and they are still trying to make police irrelevant even in mordern days. This is why sometimes I don't pity them. |

First the root of the problem need solution. Security Manpower in Nigeria NCS 17,277 FRSC 20,000 NDLEA 5,300 (unsure) NPS 27,992 NIS 21,357 NSCDC 40,000 NPF 370,000 NN 20,000 NAF 15,000 NA 162,000 DSS + DIA + NIA 5,500 *Total = 698,926 security personnel* *Population = 201,989,640 Million (estimate)* DailyTrust. And we have so many graduates ready to be recruited. How many DSS operatives will help gather intelligence considering the current security situation in the country. Even the entire security manpower is less than what we need for police alone. 3 Likes 1 Share |

cutievik: PR is what makes DSS glorious? For me that was the period DSS operatives were moving around in maiduguri with camouflage and land cruiser jeeps forming big boys with our money under the protection of soldiers. If only you know how much I hate that period you just mentioned. Even getting timely intel on Abuja was a big deal. 2 Likes 1 Share |

kabe1: There are rumors of NN getting a ship from Germany but the funny thing is that no one as ever mentioned the type/class of the ship �. Well I like the way you discard rumors until something concrete shows up. But to be sincere with ourselves, Nigerian lawmakers can't go to Germany and US for site visit even if they are supplying parts for the LST because that contract is not between NN and the suppliers. Let's assume Germany is supplying engine for the LST what will US be supplying? |

Nigeria Confronts Second Mass Kidnapping Of Schoolchildren In Nine Days - WASHINGTON POST FEBRUARY 26, 2021 By Danielle Paquette and Ibrahim Garba ABUJA, Nigeria — Gunmen raided a boarding school in northwestern Nigeria early Friday and kidnapped hundreds of girls, marking the third mass abduction of children since December in Africa's most populous nation. The assailants struck the Government Girls Secondary School in Zamfara state in a predawn ambush, teachers and residents said, waking up the town as shots rang out. By daylight Friday, community members continued to tally the missing — it remained unclear how many girls were forced into the nearby woods — while security forces scoured the area, which has been plagued by kidnappings in recent months. No one has asserted responsibility for the attack, but criminal gangs known as “bandits” are increasingly seizing groups for ransom — a menace that has prompted some Nigerians to call for a national state of emergency. The latest high-profile targets across the country’s north: Schoolchildren. One of the girls’ guardians, Saidu Kwairo, said he watched from his window as pickup trucks roared into the town of Jangebe. The gunmen were firing their weapons into the air. “We could hear the helpless voices of the girls screaming,” he said, “amid the sounds of dangerous rifles.” The kidnapping comes less than two weeks after attackers stormed another boarding school in north-central Nigeria, abducting more than 40 people, including 27 students. The Niger state victims all remain in captivity as authorities attempt to negotiate their release. Taking hostages is a growing business in the country. Between 2011 and 2020, Nigerians paid at least $18 million to liberate themselves or loved ones, according to a report from SB Morgen, a consulting firm that crunched data from open sources. Sixty percent of that amount was spent in the last half of that time frame, reflecting a troubling acceleration, the authors noted. Kidnappers formerly focused on wealthy people or foreigners — targets that dangled bigger rewards. Over the last three years, though, the pattern has shifted: Practically anyone can be ripped out of their dwellings or off the streets in a string of northern states. Gunmen have even stopped public buses. “Bandits have realized that the authorities cannot protect the people,” said Isa Sanusi, spokesman for Amnesty International in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. “That is lucrative. Ordinary people will give up all they have to save their families.” Striking boarding schools in poor areas is seen as a savvy financial move. “The schools are almost always in a squalid state without much fencing,” Sanusi said. “Kidnapping the children gets them worldwide publicity, and governments are always looking for a quick way of rescuing them. Ransom payments are one of the only options.” In December, Boko Haram claimed responsibility for capturing more than 300 boys from a school in the northwestern state of Katsina. The classmates were released days later under murky circumstances. Officials rarely say how they negotiate the abductees’ freedom. The extremist group garnered notoriety for kidnapping more than 270 school girls from the town of Chibok in 2014, sparking a viral social media campaign calling for their safe return: #BringBackOurGirls. More than 100 are still missing. Although Boko Haram normally operates in the country’s northeast, analysts say gang members hundreds of miles away maintain relationships with fighters. The group has killed at least 36,000 people and displaced millions over the past decade from its stronghold in the Lake Chad Basin. Authorities are not sure if the recent abductions were carried out by co-conspirators or copycats. Nigeria’s defense minister, Bashir Salihi Magashi, set off outrage earlier this month after advising people not to “be cowards” and defend themselves against kidnappers. “In our younger days, we stand to fight any aggression coming for us,” the retired army major general said in a statement. “I don’t know why people are running from minor things like that.” But in Jangebe early Friday, residents said they feared for their lives. The eruption of gunfire seemed intentional, several said. Perhaps the attackers wanted people to hide inside their homes. No one had the arms to strike back. “We thought they had come to attack residents as they usually do, but this time, unfortunately, they aimed at the students,” said a neighbor, 52-year-old Bello Maikusa Jangebe, who was startled awake by the sound of bullets. “We’ve noticed that only a few of the students were left behind.” Garba reported from Kano, Nigeria.

tutudesz:CGTN Reporter was there and the report was that total population of students in the school was about 450 and after the headcount they can't account for about 300 students. Nigerian media houses that can't even pay reports and depend on fabricated news will never change their ways. Why will 300 suddenly turn to 600 if not because some media houses have hidden motives. 3 Likes |

Bestman2021: It's a common problem with Murano. You shouldn't have bought it since you don't know about Nissan and you also don't have a mechanic that understand the car. The car have problem with a sensor (Airflow meter) or it could be the exhaust that is blocked. The funny part is you hardly fine new sensors and the old one you buy might also be faulty. You have to keep changing it till you get a good one. I use a Murano and Nissan Altima. I will tell you to Never use a mechanic that specializes in toyata or honda. You will keep spending money and even spoil the car more. Nissan is a very strong car and I've been using mine for almost 10 years now. It was really rough at first but with time I got people who understands them 8 Likes |

BabaOwen: The simple truth is your juniors can't command you so you have to leave the force. Even those in service know there seniors even if they happen to be on the same rank. That's why you see major-generals salute another major-general. A good example is the case of Irabor and Atahiru or Buratai and Adeosun who were both Lt. Generals. They don't joke with seniority. 3 Likes |
