OPINION BY FREDRICK NWABUFO: The cure for the SARS affliction is SARS | TheCable bit.ly/34pOmFY Image
.@FredrickNwabufo: It is clear as we advocate the amputation of the gangrenous SARS, we must push our luck further by insisting on a purge of the entire police. Our police force is in dire need of vacuuming.
thecable.ng/the-cure-for-t…
.@FredrickNwabufo: The septic characters in the security agency are a bigger problem than the unit upon which they traffic in perfidy. So, if we eliminate SARS without expelling the rotten eggs, we are only deodorising a ghastly matter.
thecable.ng/the-cure-for-t…
.@FredrickNwabufo: They will only regroup under another police outfit. So, while we apply: Strategic Antidoting and Removal of the Sore (SARS) to the SARS menace, we must look deeper and not soar away on righteous emotions.
Vacuum the police!

Conflict in a Pandemic (II): The deserted villages of Southern Kaduna where only the brave dare reside | TheCable bit.ly/2GHHJXa

@elrufai @GovKaduna

#ConflictInPandemic #SouthKadunaChildren ImageImageImageImage
Abandoned homes, deserted compounds and desolate communities are, nowadays, common scenes in parts of southern Kaduna. Insecurity-fuelled fear has forced many residents — mostly women and children — to find abodes in saner climes.

#ConflictInPandemic Image
In many of the attacked communities, only courageous men dare stay back and spend the night. Every man has now become a vigilante while their wives and children are scattered across the safe(r) parts of Kaduna.

Conflict in a Pandemic (I): The Southern Kaduna children and women devastated by a wave of killings | TheCable bit.ly/3iwVO7l

#ConflictInPandemic #SouthKadunaChildren

Cc @elrufai @GovKaduna @john_danfulani @Tutsy22 @Henryshield @AriyoAristotle @AishaYesufu
Friday Musa was determined to survive that attack by all means. As soon as it started, his father told him to run for safety. In the process of running, he was shot in his left hand, forcing him to hit the red earth.bit.ly/3iwVO7l #ConflictInPandemic #SouthKadunaChildren
As he crashed to the ground, his attacker proceeded to machete him on his back and head. Hellbent on surviving, he gathered the strength to stand up and continue running until the coast was clear. bit.ly/3iwVO7l

OPINION BY SIMON KOLAWOLE: Craving a new #Nigeria | TheCable bit.ly/3jsPr64

#NigeriaAt60 Image
.@simonkolawole: Unfortunately, we cannot build a “new” Nigeria with “old” Nigerians — particularly those who have made up their minds to see nothing but gloom and doom for the country. bit.ly/3jsPr64
.@simonkolawole: To them, Nigeria is finished and beyond redemption. To build a “new” Nigeria, therefore, we need “new” Nigerians — those whose passion is fuelled by a desire for the development of the country, those who look around and see massive opportunities for greatness...

OPINION BY SIMON KOLAWOLE: To keep Nigeria one | TheCable bit.ly/2MDqqGK Image
.@simonkolawole: How time flies. When Major Abubakar Umar was appointed military governor of Kaduna state by Gen Ibrahim Babangida in 1985, he was just approaching his 36th birthday. Image
He was fresh-faced and handsome, with the trademark well-arranged moustache — the trend at the time. Beyond his looks, Umar came across as a progressive, one who cared about the ordinary people, one who viewed society with a pair of liberal eyes despite having royal blood.

UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION: For N16,500, security agents will allow you travel from #Lagos to #Abuja despite interstate ban | TheCable bit.ly/2LVuUIf Cc @MBuhari @toluogunlesi @BashirAhmaad @NGRPresident @jidesanwoolu

#COVID19 #NairaForAccess #BreachOfTravelBan
Twenty-four hours to the trip, Otos, a worker at one of the bus terminals in the Jibowu area of Yaba, Lagos, had given all the assurances that there is commercial transportation to Abuja, and, in fact, to any part of the south-east. thecable.ng/undercover-inv… #BreachOfTravelBan
With a giggle, and then a long hiss, he dismissed the directive banning interstate travel. As soon as we settled to talk, he reached for his chest pocket and brought out a bunch of tickets, assuming that his next passenger had arrived. thecable.ng/undercover-inv… #NairaForAccess
