Nigeria record over 2.2m kidnap cases in year, 2.2 trillion paid as Ransom.

[Cossyblack]

That is the most pain part of the jet having not paid as fast as possible imagine a average Nigeria who trying to pay bills night and day and still has family to feed and yiu are calling them to fish out the sum of 20m how fast did you think the preson would spend to get that kind of amount of money from which ends…

It very much had for people like people are crying for this shit to stop well when I mean Nigerian didn’t dare to get use to this issue like ehhh everyone is crying anytime you see a video of someone been killed or kidnapped like water go drop from ur eyes…

Killings is recorded everyday in Nigeria and it is starting to look like a normal thing. If someone is kidnapped or killed by bandits,the country doesn't show much concerns on it because it have become a normal thing for them. But this must stop we cannot remain silent because it might happen to any of us and the worst of it is the amount of money this kidnappers demands from poor innocent Nigerian is worrisome. If the current administration can no longer protect us,they should resign now or be voted out in the upcoming presidential election.

[Majestic-milf]

 Una don ask why e be say the rate of kidnapping becoming higher as election don dey draw close? So e mean say all the loan wry presido dey take na to use settle bandits and kidnappers? Nah shameful thing say all this thing dey happen yet the only thing wey the wife of the president don come out talk nah make we try dey support her husband, say him no dey get time for himself. What a shameful thing because as a mother, the kidnappings of children suppose don hit her but e be as if nothing concern her.
 The crazy reality about this matter nah be say if any of their children dey involved, this issues for don stop but as no be their children dey suffer, them go dey use our head drink gari.

With the way this country Nigeria is going right now i am sorry to say we don't have leadership body anymore,  assuming we have something would have been done to bring solution to the raising insecurity challenge right now in Nigeria.  Every one leaving his house on daily basis to look for his daily bread are now living in fear because they dont know who it will be next while our leaders that have built a chain of security live happily because they believe they can never be affected by this same issue any day. Although I will say there is an unknown agenda we don't know for now because if there was nothing the Nigerian government would have done something to provide solution to this current insecurity challenge.

Now you just have to understand that the Tinubu Government’s have failed Nigeria, and the insecurity is totally alarming in the country, the rise of bandit have been a major problem and a challenge in a country like Nigeria, which is why is very important to try and be your own safety because you’re the only one that can save yourself, so you have to be very very careful with whatever you’re doing, The Federal Government can’t do anything to help the Citizens, they can’t protect the lives and property which he has sworn to protect, that is to tell us that President Tinubu have Failed Nigeria, and none of his campaign promises that he has been able to deliver, Tinubu is a failure and he shouldn’t be coming back for next tenure.

[Emjay24]

The most annoying part is that even when this terrorist are caught instead of them to prosecute them the government prefers to grant them amnesty and re-inject the same terrorist into the military thereby making the military porous, they even release some of them at times without prosecution just because one big man call, even most of the ransom is shared by some top Nigerians because a wise man once said that [b/any insurgency that last beyond 48hours that the government has a hand in it[/b], it’s actually a shame that Nigeria has gotten to this point, please let everyone be on the watch out since the government have failed.

exactly, insurgency lasting long is another government project, late General Sani Abacha rightly said that insurgency above 24 hours has government officials backing and it is true. The former minister of power Adebayo Adelabu, whose sister and 12 year old twin boys which were kidnapped took only 3 days to be successfully rescued, but the kidnapped pupils and their teachers have spent 24 days now without being released, so it tells a lot about the interest of government in this kidnapping of a sort and what they want to achieve from it. The worst thing is that the lives of even children matters less to these beasts, honestly no one is safe in Nigeria anymore.

E shock me say you dey come to the realization now. As far as I dey concerned, this decline in security of the country no start now, e begin porous the moment leaders stop to think about the welfare of the people them dey lead come focus on themselves. We experience this craze for Buhari time and now wey the so-called Jagaban dey seat, e come be like say nah where them blow whistle for all of them to pour in.
 The thing wey dey make me sad nah how small children dey die like goat and chicken in the hands of the insurgents. As e be, the government dey find where the masses go engage in another protest wey go resemble Lekki Toll gate own first before them get sense. E dey pain me say we dey unsafe yet the rulers still dey open mouth dey campaign. What a pity!

[Chilwell]

I don't really know where we are heading to in this country because a lot of things are happening in reality which we don't expect it to happen even in films, look at how this government is just playing us the poor masses are suffering and they pretend not to do anything. The only thing that will help to Nigeria is Revolution let's forget about this democracy because it has given us more harm than good, we are just being fooled by the West who imposed this on us and right now they see that we are suffering and they decide to keep quiet, democracy is not for Nigeria because ever since it appears we have been facing a lot of challenges like corruption cases and other so many things.

The constitution we are using is not favoring the masses at all that is why our leaders do know what any other constitution apart from the one they are using just because it was already written based on their interest. Take a look at how our leader are embezzling money and at the same time our judiciary system is behaving the way they like, doing things that will favor only their pocket compromising the masses interest just because they don't have anyone to stand for them.

[Sulegzy39]

Actually a long-lasting insurrection is another government effort; the late General Sani Abacha correctly stated that a rebellion lasting more than 24 hours had the support of government personnel, which is true. Former Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu, whose sister and 12-year-old twin boys were kidnapped, were successfully rescued in three days, but the kidnapped students and teachers have been held captive for 24 days, revealing much about the government's interest in this type of kidnapping and what they hope to achieve from it.

The worst part is that even the lives of children are less important to these creatures; honestly, no one is safe in Nigeria nowadays. And most of our politicians nowadays do not actually care about us since they take practically all of their children out of the nation and leave the poor people alone to suffer.

I wonder who's going to be our next president and if he is going to bring positive changes to our nations. because every candidate comes with different story and promises, and at the end of the day we experienced the opposite of their promises. But I still doubt if Tinubu will not occupy the space again. The presidential election use to be something else, because people in the power usually have the final say, I wonder if our votes count. But sincerely speaking this Tinubu's regime has really affect us alot, who knows how or what 2027 might look like, but we are still hoping for the best.

This kind matter no be something wey we supposed dey use English dey write because e no really make sense at all and na the kind thing we dey spoil the image of any country be this. The kind government wey we get no be the kind government wey ready to listen to watin the masses dey past through. The case of kidnap dom dey become very serious these days and if the government still not choke mouth for this matter, e no go easy at all for common people wey no get security wey go mount them and guide them from attackers like kidnappersand road robbers.

[Abdulzuruku01]

It is really alarming going on the numbers of kidnaps cases and the amount that have been paid for ramson. This is very bad for a country,  because it just shows that we are not safe anymore and the government is not doing anything to change the situation.  I truly believe that people in power or influential people in the society are behind this issue, because I don't understand how some set of people will choose to terrorize a country for more than 16 years and the government is not doing anything to stop it or even reduce their activities, but rather it keeps increasing by the day. Nigerian is definitely one of the worst place to be right now, because you don't know what will happen to you in the next minute.  It's really bad that we have those that calls themselves our leaders and they are not doing anything to stop this issue,  rather they sit back and watch us die.

To be sincere our brave armies have been killing dis terrorist this days and we should appreciate their efforts. But still they need more back up and government support because the banditry is still spreading in the system, and they are battling to over power our security forces every day which if they achieve it then we are all going to be the victims.

It's unimaginable for the country like this can not tackle the insecurity for long time ago. Even though the government Most provide our security but the way the system is going now, It can also be possible for us to learn how to protect ourselves and helping the security teams, by reporting any suspect and suspicion act we see in our communities.

I feel this is now becoming open source for everyone to start a kidnapping business…like just take your time to watch closely someone might even hand you a business card for kidnapping yeah that the leave we are getting into because our security are not protecting us…
 
But at first when I saw the amount of money been paid by the government for ransom like the truth be told this money was not only been paid to the bandits, but some part of it was spent on self…like how was this even possible….

[Bitcoin.com97]

That is our reality now, me I don't need to doubt any news again, because as long as Nigeria is concern everything is possible,I think kidnapping is one of the most lucrative business,they now have social media handles ,they video their victims and send to there people, people are afraid to travel by road to look for their lives , imagine kidnappers holding captive of over 40 students and there teachers with principal and our government can't do anything about it ,the news of kidnapping on a daily basis is very alarming,the country is fucked up and I pray we come out these situations some days .

[Sexylizzy2813]

These days no be only hardship dey kill Nigerians again as before but now we don enter another chapter like say the government no fit wait to eliminate all of us with the increments of things nai them start to support kidnapping wey be like family business now, non of them dey talk, even the leaders wey dey talk self for house of rep is like the president ear na sand full inside that is why e be like say nobody dey talk, na so e be now and that is why we go continue to experience more of the killing and abductions even need to mention ransom, e bad say our children to witness all these things. See the numbers them mention about kidnapping cases even as we dey talk so more people dey missing them still dey carry new sets dey enter bush, for me na the greed wey dey this T. B body nai be the major cos of wetin we dey face now for Naija.

I understand what you're trying to say because i am also concerned about that amount, but I begin to reason that those money are not collected by The Bandit alone the government officials that are involved are also enjoying this privilege, I'm sorry to use privilege because they are acting evil. A lot of things are happening in this Nigeria which we cannot even believe it will happen in real life but since the masses don't have any power we decide to look at them because if you want to challenge them now there will send their boys ( kidnapped) to you.

Our leaders are not ready to bring us out of this mess we are now, because I don't expect them to be laughing when things are going wrong in the country. Especially our senators look at how they will be behaving as if everything is working fine for their people, they don't seem to care about how we live.

[Chinesebaby]

When I came across this news I thought it was one of those social media Cruz. But I did some research and found out that it's no Cruz but the fact according to the national bearue of statistics. That Nigeria recorded a record of over two point two million number of kidnapping cases with over two point two trillion naira paid as Ransom. This was stated by a security expart, Prof. Oyesoji Aremu when he presented a lecture which was organized by the social science student association of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Ondo State, where he examined Nigeria’s current security situation.

This is very alarming from what I can see from the statistics kidnapping and hostage taking is now one big sector in the country that is very lucrative. If government don't do anything serious about this present situation Nigeria soon become a law less country that, it will be difficult for anyone to moves out as a citizen.

https://guardian.ng/news/nigeria-records-2-2m-kidnappings-n2-2tr-ransom-payments-in-one-year-says-report/

And the sad reality about this news is that despite the increasing number of kidnapping that have been recorded of taking place only this year, this present government is yet to take a proactive step towards permanently eradicating these Bandits and kidnappers that goes about swiping an entire community off their maternal homes. And sometimes what annoys me the most about all these kidnappers stuff is that after our brave soldiers have gone to risk their lives, and likewise some died in the process to neutralize these bandits and captured some of them, these same evil administration will later release them all in the name of reintegrating them back into the society. What a madness. Whereas you have some who are terrorizing other parts of the nation, and the only few you have been able to capture, you release them back into the society. Tell me, how will this bandit ever end. So until our government takes the bold step of killing ll bandits, this country no go ever better.

E nor even be like dis Tinubu govment knows jack about fixing dis newly discovered industry wey don turn oil company for criminals. The way wey Tinubu and him people take harass Jonathan during dat Chibok girls issue then, persin go think sey im go fit do anything meaningful pass Jonathan. Honestly, right from Buhari (AKA, I'm not aware) to Tinubu, governance just turn to something else. We nor com understand where we dey go again sef. Dis kidnap thing com be like wetin nor go end anytime soon.

Like men what the fuck those the government want from the same money they give out to bandit and are till interested in sharing that same amount…see the irony of life is that if Nigerian citizens keeps quiet and not doing anything on the matter of this like it will be blood down the line for all of us…because somedays this might just cut up with us in a short while maybe it might not be you but your family can become vitamin of such evil that why the best is to come together in massive remove this bad government….

[Africolo]

Cases of kidnappings have taken a new turn with the clear confidence of kidnapers to be negotiating ransom online and we claim that we have forces and military intelligence, it is a big shame that the Nigerian system have failed the ordinary citizens of this country. How else can we discribe the confidence and audacity of terrorist to enter a community and take their time to go round schools to kidnap teachers and pupils and you will wonder if our military were not contacted or they were waiting for orders before they will show up and fight the terrorists.

This Tinubu, government has failed Nigerians and anybody that thinks otherwise is an enemy of those that have been killed and kidnapped, kidnapping is now a very lucrative business in this country. It is very shameful that a failed government is not hiding their face in shame but have the confidence to campaign for re-election. Nigeria, matter don tire me I no go lie, I just tire.

The government of Nigeria has showed how incompetent and domicile they are in all aspects of insecurity and even to making economic decisions and policies that will enhance growth in the country, Tinubu before the elections that ushered him in as president was being praised on how he developed Lagos state and made it great, now he has become the President what then happens to those strategies and wisdom he used in developing Lagos that he can't use anymore to make Nigeria a better and safe place for the citizens to live without being kidnapped or killed by bandits.

Tinubu has made kidnappers rich to the extent they have confidently created a Tiktok account and be asking Nigerians to drop their details for giveaway, you can see the level of insults that is to the armed and security forces of the country as they could make any steps to tracking them down, yet this same person wants re-election and people are still blindly supporting him, there was once a country because Nigeria has decayed and gone.

But this must stop we cannot remain silent because it might happen to any of us and the worst of it is the amount of money this kidnappers demands from poor innocent Nigerian is worrisome. If the current administration can no longer protect us,they should resign now or be voted out in the upcoming presidential election.

The world have come to an end in Nigeria with the way these kidnappers and bandits are wasting innocent lives burning homes and raping our women on a daily basis, and it does not look like a problem which can be solved any time soon. With the rate these guys are going and the videos they are releasing every day by day, if we are not careful there are chances they can invade a city and throw bombs at homes. This banditry has taken the dimention of a larger political agenda and campaign to hoist a government but have also gradually turned into a network of business venture where the participants across the network have been benefiting immensely and won’t want to stop.
