Is the target aimed at eliminating traditional rulers who are no longer in support of the current government? Of course we all know this is politically targeted and sustained against them. They know very well that without the leader, the communities cannot organize themselves well to function effectively against their political manipulation, so they scatter them from the head.

Actually there are rumors flying up and down that the main aim is to Islamise the whole country. Nmadi kanu said this in his radio station Biafra. He specifically said the aim was to wipe out the bigger races. Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. Hausa is gone now and they are already entering Yoruba land. I hope he isn't correct because everything he has predicted so far has come to pass. War is coming if this is what will happen. Because there is no way islamizing Nigeria will work. I wish we didn't have ethnic tension in the country but it is what it is. It's best we just go out separate ways. At the end of the day, we didn't join ourselves. So let's stop living a lie.

This is the global aim, it didn't start today. Attempts to Islamize Nigeria started as far back as Babangida's era as military head of state. These bandits are becoming increasingly bold and unnecessarily brutal. We know very well that it is politically motivated because you'll always see that the governors does nothing than to condemn the acts on media and no one is ever held accountable for these brutal actions. These killings are very disheartening honestly and imagine the abomination of traditional rulers abandoning their palaces and running away for fear of being abducted and killed by these staged bandits. We've gotten to a very bad shape honestly.

Omo, like play like play these bandits are really gaining strength by the day for this country oh. Because can you imagine a whole 7 Yoruba traditional monarch have just been killed, 3 released, while 1 still in captivity, due to maybe the inability of his kingsmen to pay the required ransom. And now, there is a rumor that over 30 extra Yoruba monarchs have been reported to have ran away from their respective Palaces, which is very bad, because this is a very serious issue that everybody needs to take it very seriously oh..  And secondly, this is an opportunity for all these monarch to wise up and tell their people to vote our this government oh. Because if they don't do, and continue collecting allowance and bag of rice from this Tinubu government, make them know say when bandits go kidnapped them, they will not ask for small money or even a bag of rice.

What am saying now is coming to past…like this would get to some point that many people would want to go into the business of kidnapping and they would began to share to some cards if you want them to help you kidnap anyone for you…

Since the government are saying job is only gotten by people who have connections those lazy youth would want to use such as an opportunity to start this crime, and honestly speaking it not even nice to having to see more people get in to this crime they should can not be this worthless no matter what…

Your right. Killing and kidnapping have tarted to look like a normal thing in this country. Yesterday,20 people was unalived by Fulani bandits and the whole country is silent. I think bandits are currently targeting traditional rulers and schools, many traditional rulers have been killed already and the government pretend like if nothing bad happens. I'm beginning to sense more danger because the more people are getting kidnapped and ransom money is paid for their release,the richer and powerful bandits are. However, the government must tighten security in our borders because these bandits are not Nigerians they are foreigners and they were able to smuggled into our country due to our porous borders and many more are entering the country from our borders to kidnap people for money.

This issue of killings, kidnapping and attacks on communities, schools, and traditional leaders is getting out of hand and my pain is that have not seen any move led by our government everyday we see protest on line but still yet no response form our government and it’s so annoying. I agree that border security needs serious attention, whether this criminals are form foreign countries, Nigerians, or a combination of both, our government should work on it.

Well it is nice we listed some of our observations pertaining the growing insecurity challenges, however; most of the listed points are still on tentative basis because most of them are still speculations especially the issue of traditional rulers fleeing due to attempt to kill them because they are not supporting the ruling APC government and the issue of plot to Islamize Nigeria, this fact are not concretely proven and as such we have to still subject them to further scrutiny before jumping into conclusions so we don’t end up sending wrong information to the general public.

Truth be told there is severe insecurity challenges in Nigeria currently but we can’t completely attribute it to the fact that it’s because they want to Islamize Nigeria because in some scenarios even Muslims are killed, on the other hand even some associates of Tinubu and the APC have also been attacked so i won’t want to conclude that the insecurity is one sided or a plot to eliminate most of the traditionally rulers that are not loyal to Tinubu, the challenges that Nigerians are currently facing is because the government didn’t take drastic actions when the insecurity started initially, most people including some traditional rulers felt that the insecurity was just in the North alone and felt less concerned but today see what is happening, insecurity is now spreading like a volcano round Nigeria, to me let the Nigerian government and citizens forget about any blame-game and work collectively to fight the menace, as the saying goes no insurgence can be greater than the government as long as they are determined and ready to tackle it.
