The 'Federal Character Syndrome' of Kidnappings in Nigeria and how they challenge the Federal Character Commission
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMAPART TWO
Pull Factors of Kidnapping in Nigeria: The proliferation of kidnappings in Nigeria is a function of one or a combination of the following factors:
Instrument of Political Coercion and Intimidation: A Security Consultant, Chigozie Ubani attributed some kidnap cases to politics, “I see political actors who engage the services of these young men in the course of protecting themselves, intimidating their opponents, electioneering, and soon after, the kidnappers are dumped.”
Porous illegal borders, proliferation of small arms haven’t helped matters either. Nigeria is said to have more than 1,479 illegal, porous borders which undoubtedly encourage wanton smuggling and proliferation of light weapons.

Tonight, I addressed the nation from the Oval Office on my top priority as President: Keeping the American people safe.
It weighs heavily on the hearts and minds of all of us in the wake of the terrible tragedy in San Bernardino. Fourteen Americans -- dads, moms, daughters, sons -- were taken from us as they came together to celebrate the holidays. Each of them a public servant. All of them a part of our American family.

For upward of six months now, Mr Muhammadu Buhari and his cohorts in the now Northern Peoples Congress, the APC on clinching power having moulted off its Bola Ahmed Tinubu - dominated 'skin' and put on the robe of the notorious NPC, and consequently formed the AREWA GOVERNMENT which has just sworn in its ABEED/NOISE MAKERS TEAM, to be referred to here as ALARIWO BAND or MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND HIS ALARIWO BAND.

“The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great-grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities of the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future.”
–Sir Ahmadu Bello, Leader of the NPC and Premier of Northern Nigeria, (Parrot Newspaper, 12th Oct. 1960; republished on November 13, 2002, by the Tribune Newspaper, Ibadan.)
The 'Federal Character Syndrome' of Kidnappings in Nigeria and how they challenge the Federal Character Commission
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMA
Sad tale of the Chief Cop who's stuck in medieval and colonial policing...policing ONLY with the POLICE without commonsensical policing and strategic thinking! At best, Ehigiator does his policing by burying his head in the SEA! Before going to Louis Edet House, SEA had left his head in Sapele, his birth place, hence criminals in Nigeria are sucking him like a ripe mango in Oredo Local Government Area, because they well know SEA and his equally very uncoordinated and headless team are merely flapping their wings before the invading hawks like a group of headless chickens in SAPELE.

ECHOES OF THE GREAT AWAKENING
THE NIGERIAN RENAISSANCE, NATIONALISM, RISE OF THE INTELLIGENTSIA AND THE IMPENDING REVOLUTION IN NIGERIA
There is a revolution coming.
It will not be like revolutions of the past.
It will originate with the individual and
with culture, and it will change
the political structure
only as its final act.
It will not require violence to succeed,
And it cannot be successfully
resisted by violence.

The Afenifere threat to secede from Nigeria: Open letter to the Sultan of Sokoto and the Caliphate’s MACBAN
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMAPart 2 of the Series “Buhari’s 100 Days—an X-ray”
President Buhari’s silence and inaction, during his 100 days, on the issue of Fulani herdsmen seems to have poured petrol on the long smoldering embers of the Fulani menace in Nigeria. So there is a need to raise two questions: (a) Is Buhari’s inaction part of his Caliphate hidden agenda? (b) Is the Sultan of Sokoto, as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of MACBAN, the cattle breeders association, not the Grand Patron of a criminal enterprise--an enterprise that uses, for its economic gain, the crimes of trespassing, destruction of other people’s property, kidnapping, arson, murder, ethnic cleansing etc.?

Help us to live together as one, brothers and sisters

So you wanna hire police for your next party? Go see the DPO, give him 2p and take as many police as you can!
There is no country on the planet earth where police abuse by every LAGBAJA & JALAGBA is prevalent as in Nigeria. Police officers in Nigeria do not merely suffer verbal abuses in Nigeria hurled at them by most ungrateful Nigerians who think the business of policing is as cheap and easy as a man selling pepper soup (a Nigerian delicacy) and Ogogoro (Nigerian gin) at AJEGUNLE REPUBLIC.

Buhari's War on Corruption: Real or Fake?
Written by JOHN ODEY ADUMAPart I of Buhari's First Hundred Days...An X-Ray
Introduction
Many Nigerians are puzzled by President Buhari and wonder what his #Change agenda really is. Someone has even gone as far as to say that “Most people are feeling conned, and it's only morning yet.†Luckily, Buhari’s First Hundred Days now belong to history. So historians can begin to examine it for clues to Buhari’s actual mission and agenda as president, and how he will go about implementing it. This essay is my contribution to that effort.
