You are not even being honest to yourself.

Even in the North, bandits and terrorists enjoy support of locals.

That is not the question or point... The real question is WHY?!!

What would make people turn to criminal elements and perceive them as Robin Hoods?!!

Simple... The government in question has alienated the very citizens from them via corruption and poor leadership.

You can't compel loyalty or demand respect... You earn it!

What has government really done to earn the respect of the people they are leading?!!

Have we really had a respectable and transparent government across the nation since Obasanjo left office?!!


Learn to say the truth as it is.

Yes, most bandits enjoy the support of local communities and I am not making an exception of any.

There are ways to fight for justice if truly there wasn't fair treatment. It is criminal for any community or individual to result to jungle justice all in the name of seeking for fairness. It drives away development.

Let me tell you a secret about this country. Most villages that always cry for fairness are mostly being sold out by their leaders. Now, after collecting money or needed amenities on their behalf, they turn them against the government.

This is the reason why we persuade everyone to get their wards educated so that questions can be asked.

Do we now justify crimes because we were unfairly treated?

Is state policing or self defense right up to you or your fellow citizens?!!

Why not channel these words and energies to the right places (Eg. Your Senate) rather than indulging in ethnic bashing or trying to isolate your own state and region from the national cancer, like it won't eventually spread to your area?!!!

Nigerians should know who their real enemies are, rather than fighting themselves.

Do you think any serious administration or government can't tackle this insecurity in a month?!!

If military were to take over today, do you think even Boko Haram or Ipob will cough after just one week?!!

Let's focus on the truth instead of beating around bushes.

Leave those looters in National Assembly.. all they care about is their pocket (there are exceptions though).

Even with Military, there'll still be sabotage.. the best is for each State and maybe LGAs to have their own policing system.
Or better still, allow people carry guns.

Actually sir... With regards to national growth and economic impact, it is a massive and ridiculous INJURY to all!

This is one of the main reasons food production has diminished across the nation leading to higher costs of food items and a looming food crisis.

Shall we pretend that the choice of foreign investors to avoid Nigeria is unrelated to the same issue?!!

Guy, it's an injury to the entire nation, and like a gangrenous sore, it is spreading and killing the nation.
killing the nation faster. Rice may hit 50k to 60k if care is not taken. How much is a bag of beans now?

Whereas US is one of the most unsafe country in the world where any one can take gun and begin to kill . A child will just go to school with a gun and begin to unleash terror on people.

Don't carelessly miss the point, please.

He was trying so hard to separate his region from the facts above as though that means anything to a potential investor.

The truth I am pointing out is that insecurity in any region taints other regions within the same geographical region or nation.
I agree with your last paragraph, but to claim that the American Government tossed us in the mud is wrong.
Their advisory was based purely on facts, derived from credible intelligence.
No more, no less.

Sigh... How come no one ever issues traveling advisory to people visiting or relocating to a nation with the highest gun-related and violent killings on earth?!!


I mean... The facts don't lie...!

A nation not at war or battling insurgency shouldn't have such ridiculous death numbers.

The hypocrisy of it all is unnerving.

The death toll is nothing compared to Nigeria.

If u know how many people die in d north daily u will be amazed

Everything you have highlighted above still comes down to national and state leadership!

The people at the grassroots can't lead themselves by themselves.

Do you know the far reaching impact of honest and transparent leadership from the top?!! Do you think in 4 years people will still think and reason the same?!!

Read about the transformative impact of the approach of the following:

Abraham Lincoln
Theodore Delano Roosevelt
Jerry Rawlings
Thomas Sankara
Nelson Mandela
Martin Luther king Jr
Malcom X
Etc...

When they say, foreigners should come and invest, how do they expect that to happen when they cannot guarantee their security.

No South West states included including Edo and Kwara bordering, well done, great to know, meanwhile all south eastern states except Ebonyi, shame shame shame on the south east region, run by thugs and criminals.

The SW remains the only safe zone in the country because the people do not encourage criminality

In the SE, after each killing of security agents, youโ€™ll see Simon Ekpa celebrate on X and thousands of his followers and people from the SE will hail him and applaud the killings. Itโ€™s all out there on X

Thereโ€™s never been any criminality that was supported by people of the SW. You can go back in time and check but in the SE, people shield and support natives killing security agents. How would the US not issue an advisory against those states?

As it stands, even corporations in Nigeria issue similar advisory to their staff and the SE states tops the list of states to avoid. Even people from the SE that live in Lagos are afraid to travel home; how much less a non Nigerian visiting

We don't witness mass shootings in Nigeria.
But in US mass shootings is like almost everyday and yet Nigeria have never issued travel advisory about US.
It's unfortunate that Nigerians take US useless travel advisory serious. US is a big crime riddled country and have more gun violence related deaths that Nigeria.
And mind you they're not fighting internal war but they have higher death numbers as a result of gun violence.
US will be the one telling you where to visit in your country? Tuehhhh!!!

America is far more dangerous to live in than Nigeria, and I speak as someone who lived in America for several years.

The idea of America issuing travel warnings for other countries is truly comical.

This is a country where kids walk into classrooms and malls and open fire on innocent people for NO REASON.

Not to kidnap or rob them.

Just out of boredom!
