Boko Haram Sponsors
These are the Boko haram sponsors as i personally knew, Gen Ibrahim Babangida rtd.and Former Kano State governor and former Presidential Candidate of last election(2011) Ibrahim Shekarau ,We awaits the NEW IGP to state the fact of these people.May Allah be praise
shocking
an overhaul simply means to change almost everything.for decades a known deterrent to the stability of Nigeria's fight against corruption has been the running of the anti corrupt agency by the same old people. is it not obvious it is not working! or do u not see it. u replaced some one with someone already used to a method.....
if given the opportunity we should start with the basic then expand on it.
1. who is a police man to me its the basic problem with the Nigerian police.we do not who is a police officer and who is an imposter
2.what kind of training does a police man get, what qualifies him for promotion, why did he become a police officer
3. the biggest part the connection between the judiciary and the police that looks severed should be amended
4. what are the incentives for being a police man if these basic issues are addressed and some other issues then u could overhaul the Nigerian police unless this things are done God help the "Nigerian People"
enough is enough
lets just allows God well to be done in this country of our's, lets put away evry tribalism and religeous talk so that both christain and muslim can come together to pray for the country............... i have always obsreved this that the only time christains and muslims coperate is when it as to do with currption, know one will know how it starts and how the ending looks like.
sacking of police chief
Police in Nigeria is a case, the govt needs to revamp, get d soildiers d military police n d bobbies in england to start training new intake of police boys n gals, yes so that the old once should b sacked. Sack d old once n enlist young once.
More greece to your elbour mr president
Talking about nigerian police reformation, please mr president, i want you personally to know that their is need to stop admiting iliterates into nigerian police, go to police stations and find out, secondly increase policw salary, starting police with 70,000.00 is not a bad idea because they secure our lifes and properties, we use them all the time and as we want, most us do not have respect for a police men, because we will ask how much is your, politicians ues them too, they are always intimedated, because they have no enough for them self, the sale Government information out to make money, mr president i suggest u make police work very challenging, with that the force will be deciplined, you have done one by stopping waec holders from enrolling, it is a good step, continue the good work you have started, God will bless you.

Only prayer can usher true Nigeria 's revolutionaries 2 sally-forth d nation. My Allah save Nigeri!...
A New Police Force
Did anyone notice that Mexico disbanded its Police Force a few weeks back? It was apparent that it had become difficult to distinguish between the Mexican drug lords and the Mexican police. Many attempts had been made to reform the police, but the Police had become so endemically corrupt and unprofessional that, though it took a long time in coming and a lot of courage on the part of the Mexican govt, it was clear that the Mexican police was beyond redemption and what was needed was a brand new police force built on different rules, recruitment criteria, modus operandi, orientation, and philosophy. It is still too soon to tell how well the new force would do, but I 've no doubt in my mind that it was the right thing to do and I've long recommended it to the Nig Govt.
@Ken Mani, hahahahah, you be
@Ken Mani, hahahahah, you be real mugu. Why couldnt you blame yorubas for removing oil subsidies? Better still, why not blame Yoruba for paving way for Jonah's presidency or for Jonah's being born an Ijaw man and not igbo man? You be real animal in human skin.
Will he also protect the Christians in view of his Jos act
Ringim was a personal friend of Mr. President. For this reason a lot of mess could happen with the police and he will be left untouched until he retires while Nigerians continue to surfer under terrorists’ siege.
Now, it is M.D Abubakar - who was indicted by a fact-finding panel in the Jos religious crisis and subsequently recommended for dismissal from the police force. Can people really be encouraged to do good in their official capacities and also can our people be deterred from doing evil under this circumstances? Now the same indicted religious bigot has taken charge of the security of both Muslims and Christians in the face of the Boko Haram challanges. Nigerians should watch it oooo!
Islam is a religion of peace, please watch and informed
Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance and equity......

@Ken Mani: Re: BLAME YORUBA FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF TAINTED IG
@Ken Mani
U claim "The blame for the appointment of tainted Acting IG M. D. Abubakar must go to the Yoruba who in the last few weeks have done everything possible to make the country ungovernable for our dear President Goodluck Jonathan but they failed woefully. "
Fool, I agree with yoruba should be blamed for Dumbo Jo's appointment of Abubabakar as IG.] because if OBJ hasn't supported this sick Yaradua and foolish inarticulate Jonathan in 2007, we won't be saddled with this animal as President now.
Honest I would be interested in knowing what kind of breast milk this Aborigines sucked while growing up. Theair reasoning level is like that of a monkey ! Yoruba to be blamed for Dumbo's appointment. Shou ! I guess Yoruba should also be blamed for Jonathan's marriage to an illiterate. ANIMAL. Even Deri had the little sense to keep shut this time around but not this lunatic !
A job well done.... Hmm
There are some people that are jubilating already of Mr Abubakar appointment as IG. They thank Allah that the unfinished good job of Mr.Ringim which was abruptly stopped would be well completed by the new IG. How do they mean? Hmmm. President Jonathan listen to the voice of wisdom.
Re.: He is Fulani
For the ignorant here,none of the boko haramites leadership is either Hausa,Fulani or Kanuri. Even the ordinary 'so called street fighters' of boko haram are not from these tribes. Virtually all of them are from the tribes of Babur/ Burra,Marghi and Gwoza from Borno & Adamawa States. Nigerian journalists,who are mostly from the South,are inherently lazy and mischievous.They deliberately don't want to investigate and if they do,they bury the truth and publish what their paymasters want them to publish. And,Ringim is also a Fulani man and they attempted to blow him to pieces for standing up to them. Yet,cause of sentiments,no one wants to remember those. May God save us from sentimental idiots.
I have no doubt
I am not in any doubt about the competent of MD Abubakar and what he can do now that he has full power as AIG, his record is in public domain with great recommendations to him as Asst.Insp Gen and I encourage him to do much than expectation while I wish Nigerian well to enjoy the dividend of his (MD) appointment. But my doubt has always been the COMPETENT of GEJ. How can one explain a competent man with a right senses to approve this appointment and raise such committee. Anyway, this is the best he can do. How can you explain a president during subsidy strike can not come out to speak and answer questions in the public. Oh! example, D. Cameron do this in parliament 3 time a week on all government policies and uncountable time with press pull down question, or do we talk of OBAMA. Maybe Goodluck to Nigerian. To fellow Nigerian in respect of AIG Appointment "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice (the city is peaceful)" but... Enjoy it
WHAT A PITY.....A SERIES OF BOMBING IN ANOTHER 7YEARS
THE ONLY ISSUE HERE IS THAT GEJ IS AT IT AGAIN BRINGING A BIGGER BH TO REPLACE A SMALLER BH...HIA ANOTHER YEARS OF BONBING AS THE MAN IS ONLY 53YEARS YEARS NOW....HA WHAT A PITY FOR THE NATION...AS FOR ME I BOW OUT OF NIGERIA FOR A GOD'S OWN COUNTRY NOT THE ONE OWNED BY DEVILS THEMSELF
Too bad!
Is too bad 4 u guys dat u cannot trace or link jonathan wit BH, when u blive ringim,biyu n md abubar ar BH THEN GEJ is their leader cos he apoits them.
re- HE IS FULANI. SANUSI OF CBN
Even though u diddnt write ur name, u are a big MUMU,we are talking of security and you are bringing tribalism. What fulani has to do with this or may be they should recruit your Father and give him IGP. Again you be MUMU.
What a shame
Its so obvious dat mr presido is confused and needs God's intervention...
NEW ACTING IG
for whatever reasons, once a public officer is indicted, he is not suppose to be in service and not to talk of assuming a new and higher responsibilities. GEJ is totally wrong. BH will continue and will assume higher dimension. QED
pray for nigerrrrrrr
Mr.President said we should give him a try.Nigerians are praying and waiting
PRAY FOR NIGERIA
The devil thrives in the midst of confusion, mistrust and division. But if the people that are called by His name will repent of their sins and called on God for mercy, God promised to heal our land and give us a new NIGERIA. Our distance to the expected change we cry for is the distance between our knees to the ground. Let us not make the Boko Haram (agent of the devil) important. If we do what we are asked to do by God, in just a moment of time they will be wiped away and the pain of today will be replaced with unprecedented joy. The BH and their sponsors will suffer everlasting destruction if they don't repent. People of God rise up in prayer and don't be distracted by the noise of the enemy, God will fight for us and we will celebrate victory over them. GOD IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND A READY HELPER IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE. There is nothing that is hot that will not get cold. Let Nigerians pray! iro le su npa!
HE IS FULANI. SANUSI OF CBN
HE IS FULANI. SANUSI OF CBN FULANI--MEMBERS OF BOKO HARAM ARE ALL FULANIS--TAMBUWAL A FULANI-SO OVER TO YOU GEJ-LATE YUSUF A FULANI-RINGIM NOT A FULANI-SO HAD TO GO. I AM ALSO A FULANI.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE
The appointment of MD abubakar, means COLLATERAL DAMAGE to the Nigerian state. Ple I will be in Niger embassy this Morning cos I there will be more bombs.
May Allah be praised.
May Allah be praised for raising Abubakar to be the man to complete the good works that Ringim actually started which they foolishly did not allow him finish. You all will be shamed at last . We are trying to change Nigeria for good. Things will be good soon.
What is wrong with Jonathan ??
Anyone who BOWS to the same FILTHY BLOODTHIRSTY DEMON Boko Haram bows to is not fit to be IG !!
What is wrong with Jonathan ????
He is part Of The Grand Plan
If it's true that man md abubakar was indicted 4 having hand in jos religious war, then he is part of the grand Plan to destroy 9aija. We will see many blood in our cities and thousand of dead bodies on our street.
Nigeria on the edge of a precipice...
Zakari Biu - who pursued elderstatemen like late Pas Adesanya, Ige,etc and tagged them bombers during Abacha era - was brought back from retirement & promoted to a CP. Now,another such indicted officer,who was recommended for a dismissal is now d new IGP. Even the Police Reform Committee has no Yoruba representative! Pity my people of d S/West, we're now carrying d caboose of Nigeria nation! Boko Haram is d guerilla unit set up to islamize Nigeria as prescribed by both Uthman Dan Fodio and Ahmadu Bello!
some people are truely idiot
Nigeria is one of the sweetest Nation on earth, but some bunch of idiot are trying to change these, let the good citizens say no to that, let help mr president restore the confidence of Nigeria, let stop tribalism. M.D. Abubakar is the way out. Congratulation sir! May the almighty Allah help you to resture the security situation in our country NIGERIA.
