Alright sire. He's someone I so much like though, and I want him to succeed.

izzou:


I know decamping is an option,
but at least politicians would be aware that failure means rejection.

Maybe people wey dey support APC dey gain something like Portable. Me I no gain anything oh.

I go think of my welfare first, before my tribe

izzou:




Be Ruthless....

Wike has shown that it works. Have you heard IPOB killed a mosquito in Rivers again?

Rather this one was fighting for amnesty for them.

Wait make e become Vice president first..Our eyes go clear well well

Itsrm:


Except that Rauf and his likes will still decamp to Labour Party. Rinse and repeat. PO in no time will be surrounded by the same people you didn't want in power.

I understand why people are looking out for a change e dey affect me too.

I buy baby food of N6,000 every two weeks. And pampers of N12,000 every 6 weeks. How much be the salary?

Unfortunately, whether its Obi or Tinubu or Atiku, nothing will change. I have made peace with that.

iamoyindamola:

We they the same boat
It's like those babies don't know naija is hard, their own is to eat and eat

Itsrm:


Same thing Wike did with IPOB terrorists in Rivers state. Destroy them and be ruthless in the early stages. Once you allow them to grow wings, it becomes difficult to stop.

I suspect he was initially sympathetic to their plight and before he knew it, it spiralled out of control.

afrodoc2:


You are comparing Boko Haram a major terrorist organization with serious links to global terrorism and multiple victories against the Nigerian Army in its CV BEFORE Shettima became governor to IPOB?

Itsrm:


I have told my mum to do pap for him and send to complement. I can't kill myself.

My heart goes out to those giving birth to twins

donstan18:

Nothing went out of control even now, he was their sponsor, still their sponsor.

Anyone asking what a Governor should do to protect his people is either trolling or catching cruise, you just can’t be asking that question on a serious note.

izzou:


A major terrorist organisation with serious links to Global terrorism, and a sitting governor was negotiating for Amnesty?

IPOB and BH are proscribed as terrorist groups.

He wasn't ruthless about it. Rather he was the chief negotiator and spokesperson during his tenure

Let him finish his tenure.

If the unrest still remains, he failed

izzou:


I can understand Larride supporting APC. Na Party Guy.

But Oasis007 no be Party guy. The country dey bite two of us together. No matter how you rate Tinubu, he has to work with the useless and incompetent system he met there.

Shettima wey BokoHaram overrun him tenure na him dey competent?

Obi is just like them
Atiku is the same too

We have tried APC. E no work. Make we try another person

GloriousGbola:


Actually in a nation where only federal government security agencies can be armed, it is a big question.

In the end, the army, dss, efcc, airforce, navy, police, frsc, csdc, customs, and any other fg enforcement uniform do not answer to the state governors

So how really can a governor enforce security in his state? All you have is cooperation and inducement. And every once in a while when feathers are ruffled, governors are reminded that they are not in the police chain of command

afrodoc2:



His approach might have been wrong but by the time he became governor Boko Haram had passed what any governor could handle. I don't know the man so i am not holding brief for him specifically but trying to explain the nature of the beast.

By 2012 onwards only the President and the Nigerian Chiefs of Staff (Army and Airforce especially) and the rest of the top security big wigs could have done anything about that organization. Lack of leadership at the national level and corruption by the generals was what led to all the failures. That is my view anyway.

The time to stop Boko Haram at the local level was 2002-2006 during Ali Modu Sheriff's tenure when they were still fighting other sects and stoning the police not 2011 when they were bombing military barracks in Abuja and breaking 100 of their soldiers out of prison in Bauchi.

chrisooblog:
Honestly I completely agree with most people's sentiments that the APC administration has failed in the most important sectors so it would be morally wrong to hand them the reins of the presidency next year.

The dilemma for me is the proposed people who want to take over don't exactly feel me with confidence.

Atiku is part of the old guard that caused our current situation.

Obi plenty talk less substance.

Don't ever the electorate next year cus however you pick is fraught with risk.

GloriousGbola:


There is very little Soludo can do, imho.

ESN is thriving because of endemic problems. Wealth amidst poverty. Poverty with no path to self reliance. Proliferation of firearms.


ESN is just another chapter in the story of security issues in the SE.

I remember when kidnapping was at a level where no one travelled home for xmas

I remember osisikanu

When I was in uni, robbery was so bad that Bakassi boys were created.

ESN and UGM are about opportunists tapping into the wellspring of underemployment, bitterness and frustration.

Unless Soludo can make real and sustainable improvements to the economy that carry everybody, this story will not change

Haba, this is not true. Shettima was vocal about equipping the army and talking about how our military are under equipped to fight the scourge.

From 2013 to 2019 when he left as Governor, he was the one paying for the Civiliaj JTF that number in excess of 20k force without a dime from the FG.

The deradicalisation of terrorist started under GEJ and it's a worldwide known counter terrorism ways. Why kill those that want to surrender and lay down their arms instead of deradicalising them after going through the necessary procedures?

In Borno, CAN President, Catholic leaders and the likes still appreciate Shettima for the work he did in that state. Every church that those bastard burnt during his tenure were rebuilt.

izzou:


Okay doc, I agree with you.

Let's not blame him for it.

But the second issue is that the failure called Sheriff, is behind this one two.

So if Tinubu wins, Sheriff is still directly or Indirectly involved with governance

larride:


Sheriff and Shettima? Lmao please now izzou

izzou:


I don't even have faith in the others. I'm not seeing Obi as the saviour.

But we cannot continue this way. It is because parties don't get any reward for bad governance,
that's why the country and many states are in ruins.

Let them just rest first. That's the first step to redemption

Itsrm:


That is what they say when they want to give excuses.

That inducement goes a long way. If you have a state governor giving out 10m to families of slain policemen and military personel, why won't they put their lives on the line for him?

You also have others who only know how to give excuses and blame the FG, motivation is low and no one wants to die.

iamoyindamola:

Gbam
Maybe just maybe if they both lose out
The reasonable one will think about the people for once and change
No one is saying the should not steal, atleast let the people have basic amenities that they deserve with good life
In lagos, no one can drag with apc everyone know because of the standard they raised
But for federal level both parties should rest and watch

afrodoc2:


I have already stated earlier that with Tinubu's health i don't want him to be the next President. So this is not pro-Tinubu. I was just giving my opinion on your statement about Shettima failing to stop Boko Haram somehow being an indictment on his competence.

Only a President who somehow eliminated all the endemic socio-economic factors that were instrumental in allowing Boko Haram come into existence in the first place working with his intelligence chiefs and Army/Airforce chiefs utilizing the monies given to them appropriately while maintaining morale amongst soldiers could have stopped Boko Haram by 2012.

izzou:


Okay doc

Amoto94:

This is what I said that earned me the title, "Terrorist Sympathiser" from those who are supposed to know better. Everything is not black and white when dealing with security and other critical challenges. Truth is eternal

afrodoc2:


At this point you guys are just throwing different accusations at the man looking for which one will stick.

From

1) He failed by not stopping Boko Haram in its infancy (obviously impossible as he wasn't governor then but it was another She)

to 2) He lobbied for amnesty for them (proven to be the other She)

to 3) that other She is now supporting this She. It can't be for free.

Scattergun attack. One must enter.
