Insecurity: What Buhari has done, and is doing


Each time he itemizes the three focal areas of government, President Muhammadu Buhari follows the same order: we shall secure the country, because you have to first secure a country or institution before you can efficiently manage it. We will revive the economy, and create jobs, particularly for our teeming youths, and then, we will fight corruption.

The order above shows the priority that the President gives to security, as well as law and order in the country. But each time there’s a glitch or snafu (situation normal all fouled up) in the country, some naysayers scream and wail as if nothing is being done. But the hard truth is that a lot has been done in terms of security, and is still being done by the Buhari Administration.

When he came in May 2015, what did he meet? A country that was almost in disarray, with bombs going off like firecrackers daily. The insurgency by Boko Haram was festering in the North-east, North-West, North-Central, with Abuja, the Federal capital having been serially bombed. There was Nyanya 1, Nyanya 2, United Nations Building, Police Force Headquarters, series of shopping malls, churches, mosques, and many others, all bombed, with many lives lost.

The insurgents were already in Kogi State, almost overrunning it. And from there, where would they have headed? South-west, from where they would bivouac in South-south, and the country would be gone. Dead. Forgotten.

But at Eagle Square, where he took the oath of office on that memorable day, the brand new President gave a directive. The command centre of the Boko Haram war should move to Maiduguri, in Borno State, which was the epicenter of the insurgency. Pronto, the Service Chiefs moved, and the country was saved.

Boko Haram got flushed out of Abuja, North-central, North-west, Yobe, Adamawa, and got circumscribed in Sambisa Forest. Soon, their last stand, Camp Zero fell, and since then, they have been scattered like sheep without shepherd. They mingled with the civilian population, from where they launch cowardly atavistic attacks. They became degraded, but just like a scorched snake, not beheaded yet, they still retain capacity for evil. But can you compare what is, with what used to be? Not at all.

But some people have short memories. They say not much is being done to tackle insecurity by the Buhari government. Really?
Admittedly, many more frontiers of insecurity have been opened: banditry, kidnapping for ransom, communal clashes, farmers/herders clashes, and many others. But the baby that says the mother will not sleep, he too will not snooze at all.

The Nigerian military was in tatters before Buhari came. They were ill equipped, ill trained, ill motivated, and were turning their backs to the enemies in the frontline. First thing to do was to restore morale through reequipping, retraining and improvements of salaries and welfare. It affected both the police and the military.

The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar gave an idea of what was, and what is, in Abuja two days ago, when President Buhari inaugurated two Agusta 109 Power and one MI-171 E helicopters.

Said the Air Chief: “Just five years ago, the Nigerian Air Force was facing serious challenges with an abysmal 35 percent aircraft serviceability status for all operable aircraft. At the same time, terrorism, insurgency and other heinous crimes were ravaging the nation with Improvised Explosive Devices exploding not only in the North-east but, indeed, in several urban centers, including the Federal Capital Territory.

“On assumption of office, the President approved the procurement of military equipment including fighter aircraft and helicopter gunships. This visionary step has profoundly impacted positively on Nigerian Air Force operations…Government has so far procured and inducted 22 aircraft, the Service is expecting 17 additional platforms including 12 Super Tucanos from the United States… The Service has undoubtedly come a long way from where it was in 2015.”

Just like its motto, the Nigerian Air Force is now willing, able and ready. President Buhari did it.

The army, navy, police, and all other security agencies are not left out in the new wind of reequipping and retraining blowing across the sector. And the result is the bloody nose being given criminals in different parts of the country. And it continues, till the whole land is secured.

If there was efficiency, why is there proliferation of regional security outfits; Amotekun in the South-West, Shege-Ka-Fasa in the North, and with other parts of the country warming up to set up their own? Good question. Security is collective responsibility. It is a collaboration between the government and the people, and those who heap all the blame on government, for political capital, are missing the point. The people must be involved in securing their communities and country, but within the bounds of the law.

The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), established by Nigeria and her neighbors to combat insurgency, got a fillip as soon as President Buhari got to office. With headquarters in N’djamena, Chad, it became a potent fighting force, under the inspiration of Buhari. The contribution to routing of the insurgents is unquantifiable.

What of the many military operations launched in different parts of the country, without which the land may have been impossible to live in?

Operation Lafiya Dole has recorded remarkable successes against Boko Haram. Over 12,000 hostages held by Boko Haram have been released, roads abandoned for many years have been reopened, same for schools closed for over two sessions, while emirs who fled their palaces have returned.
Operation Safe Corridor was established in 2015 to de-radicalize repentant insurgents. Thousands of them have reformed.

Gnaeusmagnus:


Can anything good come out of the South?? The answer is not farfatched, only but capital No. They are the ones bugging this country with their poverty, sickness, kidnapping, baby factories, cultism, bad parents, bad leaders, stealing, extra-judicial killings, rape, incest, environmental degradadtion,miracle centers, lying and looting pastors, and so on, the list is countless. I feel ashamed to have been born into a Northern Nigeria being assoicated with this kind of southern people.


Pot meet kettle.

(FYI...I am a Southerner, and no, I don't think the North is clean either...as I lived there. But the South is not much better).

You are very correct! What ignorant people don't know is that there's also Boko Haram (terrorists) in the south, but they manifest in the form of violent cultism.

All these as a result of very bad visionless leadership.

Gnaeusmagnus:


Is the South any better than the North.

Despite our advantages in educaiton and money, millions of SOutherners are still poor and suffering.

Yes, we don't have a Boko. Yes, soldiers have not died since the Civil war, but we have all sorts of vices in the SOuth. And Kidnapping has over the years killed a lot of people.

Mere vice indeed

And how many industries are there in the South? How many are actively exporting industries.? Zero. How many of our governors are doing well? Why are many oil produicing states so wretched after all the oil money.

Stop excusing bad leadership in the SOuth, while you rightly blast bad leadership in the North...

The sad thing is that there are Northerners who think like you. South is bad, North is good.'And that is why they are suffering Boko Haram and bandits and even herdsmen.

Both of you have logs in your eyes, while you pick at the specks in others eyes.

Go on continue. Excuse bad leadership. We Southerners are ignoring our own problems, while we fight for more money for chop. At the end of the day, we will be consumed by them. And when that day comes, you won't like it.

OK I understand where your comment is aiming at , and you are quite correct...sincerely am more confused about why things can't be done properly,as if there is a plague of negative development assigned to our leaders but on a more serious note,....the South is trying but the North is pulling us down.....
If the North can achieve to pope down our oil all the way from Bayelsa state to Kaduna State just to have a refiner there and oil wells, just check how many billions of Dollars that was used to achieve such then....
Even the Refinery is not working as we speak now

If such a thing is possible, then why can't we develop this country to a better place?
If not the North,...we could have gone far with development

The title Bandits Killed, Maimed In 5 Kaduna Villages For 4 Hours suggest Bandits were killed and Maimed in 5 Kaduna villages, but according to the story, it was the villagers that were killed and maimed instead.

I think the word "in" in the title should beremoved.

If you look the Op closely, u go see say na one of d dullard supporters

This attack didn't happen in Southern Kaduna

kingthreat:
You people in Souther Kaduna are not serious. Dont you have successful children in the cities, army, other parts of the country and abroad. Time for you guys to start a fund-raising. Then buy guns. Heavy AK47s. Teach your youths how to shoot. Let there be a watchmen that monitor strange movements into your village. Once the bastards come, return fire with fire. The ones you kill, roast them and feed to your dogs. Untill you learn to fight back, you will be continually oppressed until your village turns to Fulani grazing land. Unite southern Kaduna. Fight back,

“Those of us who used local charm and were impervious to their bullets paid a different price,” said a member of the vigilante group who escaped the attack. “They ran over some of our men with their motorcycles. Because their bullets failed, their machetes were used to cut, slice and hack our people down and others were set ablaze,” he narrated.

RIP to the dead.
This part kinda killed me though

A state of emergency should be declared in all the states affected by these constant attacks. The bandits live in the state. Even if they live in the bush, they should fish them out. I am sure the communities attacked are all Christian communities. I thought by now, they should have ways to defend themselves. Even if it's to use bows and arrows and hunter's gun.

(FYI...I am a Southerner, and no, I don't think the North is clean either...as I lived there. But the South is not much better).

Hope it is well with you?

You must be part of those causing the carnage and ravage in the North because it appears you are taking a great pleasure in it.

Change your ways.

The title Bandits Killed, Maimed In 5 Kaduna Villages For 4 Hours suggest Bandits were killed and Maimed in 5 Kaduna villages, but according to the story, it was the villagers that were killed and maimed instead.

I think the word "in" in the title should beremoved.

I just tire for the blogger. Normally news headlines are in present tense

And am so glad you missed my ultimate point. And no, I won;t tell you what it is.

When you finished killing yourself in the North, wake me up.

Who are these ones?

Is it until they kill everyone in Kaduna and other states that have been under siege before politics and trying to excuse the inexcusable will be Est aside?

Insecurity: What Buhari has done, and is doing


Each time he itemizes the three focal areas of government, President Muhammadu Buhari follows the same order: we shall secure the country, because you have to first secure a country or institution before you can efficiently manage it. We will revive the economy, and create jobs, particularly for our teeming youths, and then, we will fight corruption.

The order above shows the priority that the President gives to security, as well as law and order in the country. But each time there’s a glitch or snafu (situation normal all fouled up) in the country, some naysayers scream and wail as if nothing is being done. But the hard truth is that a lot has been done in terms of security, and is still being done by the Buhari Administration.

When he came in May 2015, what did he meet? A country that was almost in disarray, with bombs going off like firecrackers daily. The insurgency by Boko Haram was festering in the North-east, North-West, North-Central, with Abuja, the Federal capital having been serially bombed. There was Nyanya 1, Nyanya 2, United Nations Building, Police Force Headquarters, series of shopping malls, churches, mosques, and many others, all bombed, with many lives lost.

The insurgents were already in Kogi State, almost overrunning it. And from there, where would they have headed? South-west, from where they would bivouac in South-south, and the country would be gone. Dead. Forgotten.

But at Eagle Square, where he took the oath of office on that memorable day, the brand new President gave a directive. The command centre of the Boko Haram war should move to Maiduguri, in Borno State, which was the epicenter of the insurgency. Pronto, the Service Chiefs moved, and the country was saved.

Boko Haram got flushed out of Abuja, North-central, North-west, Yobe, Adamawa, and got circumscribed in Sambisa Forest. Soon, their last stand, Camp Zero fell, and since then, they have been scattered like sheep without shepherd. They mingled with the civilian population, from where they launch cowardly atavistic attacks. They became degraded, but just like a scorched snake, not beheaded yet, they still retain capacity for evil. But can you compare what is, with what used to be? Not at all.

But some people have short memories. They say not much is being done to tackle insecurity by the Buhari government. Really?
Admittedly, many more frontiers of insecurity have been opened: banditry, kidnapping for ransom, communal clashes, farmers/herders clashes, and many others. But the baby that says the mother will not sleep, he too will not snooze at all.

The Nigerian military was in tatters before Buhari came. They were ill equipped, ill trained, ill motivated, and were turning their backs to the enemies in the frontline. First thing to do was to restore morale through reequipping, retraining and improvements of salaries and welfare. It affected both the police and the military.

The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar gave an idea of what was, and what is, in Abuja two days ago, when President Buhari inaugurated two Agusta 109 Power and one MI-171 E helicopters.

Said the Air Chief: “Just five years ago, the Nigerian Air Force was facing serious challenges with an abysmal 35 percent aircraft serviceability status for all operable aircraft. At the same time, terrorism, insurgency and other heinous crimes were ravaging the nation with Improvised Explosive Devices exploding not only in the North-east but, indeed, in several urban centers, including the Federal Capital Territory.

“On assumption of office, the President approved the procurement of military equipment including fighter aircraft and helicopter gunships. This visionary step has profoundly impacted positively on Nigerian Air Force operations…Government has so far procured and inducted 22 aircraft, the Service is expecting 17 additional platforms including 12 Super Tucanos from the United States… The Service has undoubtedly come a long way from where it was in 2015.”

Just like its motto, the Nigerian Air Force is now willing, able and ready. President Buhari did it.

The army, navy, police, and all other security agencies are not left out in the new wind of reequipping and retraining blowing across the sector. And the result is the bloody nose being given criminals in different parts of the country. And it continues, till the whole land is secured.

If there was efficiency, why is there proliferation of regional security outfits; Amotekun in the South-West, Shege-Ka-Fasa in the North, and with other parts of the country warming up to set up their own? Good question. Security is collective responsibility. It is a collaboration between the government and the people, and those who heap all the blame on government, for political capital, are missing the point. The people must be involved in securing their communities and country, but within the bounds of the law.

The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), established by Nigeria and her neighbors to combat insurgency, got a fillip as soon as President Buhari got to office. With headquarters in N’djamena, Chad, it became a potent fighting force, under the inspiration of Buhari. The contribution to routing of the insurgents is unquantifiable.

What of the many military operations launched in different parts of the country, without which the land may have been impossible to live in?

Operation Lafiya Dole has recorded remarkable successes against Boko Haram. Over 12,000 hostages held by Boko Haram have been released, roads abandoned for many years have been reopened, same for schools closed for over two sessions, while emirs who fled their palaces have returned.
Operation Safe Corridor was established in 2015 to de-radicalize repentant insurgents. Thousands of them have reformed.

You have made a good post...but the fact is, your APC government has a long way to go.

Boko Haram is still strong, banditry is widespread across the North, and fulani herdsmen are terrorising every where.

So, not yet uhuru.

This title is misleading though. I actually thought it was the bandits that were killed and maimed until I read the story. I was hoping this was a reprisal attack ok the bandits that earlier killed over 50 people in Kaduna last week.
God intervene in Kaduna.
I hope the security is beefed up by both the state govt and the people.
I remember when 1 million boys became a menace in some areas of Lagos. It took the combined effort of both the state and the people to neutralise the mayhem.
The boys were decimated faster.

You are like the Northerner here who was posting pictures of how beautiful Kano city is, meanwhile, the poverty rate in the same city is high.

Sometimes, I no get you Nigerians. You rant about the poverty and crime and evil in other regions, and pretend your region is modern and up to date, when in reality it is just as poverty stricken, and a bomb waiting to explode.

if I say u are a mad man u will call the mod on me.

Jakpon:
Wrong. State police won't stop nada.Total disintegration of the country would suffice.

Who are the bandits? In Zamfara state, the bandits are the Fulani and Hausas fighting for dominance in certain villages and towns. The Fulani leader said Hausas sold land to them and later came back to dispossess them of the land. This led to group attacking each other.

In the South we are well open to disintegration. Only South West remains with Nigeria in principle, just enduring being in Nigeria. The rest (South East & South South ) are forcefully being kept and exploited in Nigeria. The South cannot wait for bandits to be exported to the South before a proactive action is taken.

The South must have her regional security outfit unifying and operated on per state basis.

Before the bomb explodes, those who planted the bomb must not cry foul or frustrate our security (regional)strategy to checkmate them. Ban of Okada and Keke Marwa in Lagos is a good security strategy. Ogun State should be very proactive.

Sorry, but the problem is bigger than you think.

Most of your governors, and even our leadership, what are they doing to make their states attractive to industrial development so that the vast ma=jority of the youth get gainfully employed??

How much are your governors investing in technical and vocational educaiton? All that ammnesty that past admins were doing...it need not have happened if there was investment in technical education in the past.

The problem is bigger than Keke Marwa and so on. Remove the Northern migrants, and we are left with millions of jobless young Southerners. with failed governments at all levels.

That's how the North ignored their youth problem for decades....till Boko got out of hand. Now some of them are hurrying to implement solutions that should have been implemented decades ago.

Chai! I really pity Northerners even though they don't pity themselves
