ON ATM FRAUDS
An epidemic is going on in the banking sector but regulatory agencies are either ignoring it or the banks are doing blame trading. People just waking up to see their savings disappear,life plunged into pain and nobody to hold responsible. But there are who to blame 2. The banks are the main culprits. With their services forming the backbone of the nation's economic activities, why are they loosely employing IT personel with full access to customers whole data without background checks? Minimal level of clearance to access whatever info...

UNDERSTANDING THE WEST
So you think the West is our friend? Most of sub Saharan lootings made it to Western capitals,properly shielded from ever returning back. Prez Buhari on assuming office in 2015, armed himself with so much details on stashed funds & visited them with facts. 2. They showed lack of interest to his pleas. The shocked response he got is why he turned to China for the remainder of his presidency. Enter OBJ; Why will a partner trick you to pay a whopping $12 billion in the name of debt forgiveness, for a money that didn't even get here?

GLOBAL POSITIONING
As a country of over 200 million people, it's important to encourage our citizens who may join politics or civil service to pay attention on economic developments around the world because the ideological divide between the West & East has gone overdrive. 2. It becomes a question of do we continue with the West & if we would do, then ask ourselves what have we gained? Or do we align with the emerging global South, and if we choose; what do we stand to gain?. The flow of economic prosperity for another 100yrs is being decided..

REDESIGN NAIRA BROUHAHA
From the kinds of fierry responses since CBN's announcement, it's either we are a country of 98% literacy or we're a society with a mob majority; but we can't be both. Just conjuncture, conspiracy & accusations on govt intentions without any proof. 2. There has never been a better way of handling looters in our situation like currency redesigning. In 1984 after the Shagari era politicians had plundered the nation, the monies were hidden in all sort of places. And when similar policy was made, they were trapped.

ABUJA TERROR ALERT
A statement telling the public to be careful of terrorist attack without specifying details is not an alert but a panic button. Ordinarily, this info should be shared with local security agencies, then they can deploy accordingly without causing apprehension.. 2. among the public. Telling people to avoid public places is nebulous, where is not a public place? From bus-stop to market, govt offices to plaza, fuel stations to schools, you name them, so should people be in their houses? Through out my stay in the US, never heard any .....

SE; NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Nigerians outside South East region are worked up over the ESN attack in Imo state, while the average ndigbos are excited about another defeat on ''Nigeria''. Just the way they are happy when BH hits Nigerian troops. For them, the civil war has not ended, 2. You see, Nnamdi Kanu did not create the hatred for Nigeria or anti North stand, he only took advantage of a well established hatred & weaponize it. The only version of the war they know is the skewed narratives their parents told them, while Nigeria failed to tell her story.

THE DE-MARKET BUHARI PROJECT.
The story of the PDP from inception is case of a hurriedly made ship for pirates to make a run on a merchant vessel, so to them its all about the plundering of resources. But this fixation on Buhari who isn't up for polls again calls for review: 2. The attacks on Buhari right from 2003 by the PDP has been brutal from his career as a soldier, to his belief as a Muslim, down to his family as a man; nothing was spared. And what has been his response; utmost silence. Those unfounded falsehood finally failed in 2015.

POLICE; BEYOND A NEW IG
In 2013 a total of 105 personnel of police & DSS were slaughtered in Nassarawa eggon while on an official duty, NO ONE WAS CHARGED. In the SE, police men are killed daily & no arrest is made. In Oct 2020, 40+ policemen were murdered no inquiries till date 2.Police station stinks like public toilets, no decent housing for them,they buy their uniforms & kits, even their training colleges looks more like concentration camps for psychopaths. Meanwhile this same police is the citizens' first line of defence against motivated criminals

TIV vs FULANI MATTERS
Ortom is simply taking advantage of the high resentment that many ethnic groups have for the Fulanis who had attempted or conquered lands some 100+ years ago. From the borders of the NW (Caliphate) to the entrance of SW in the present day Ilorin. 2. To the Plateau province of the Jukuns/Tivs/Igalas.
Knowing conquest was how kingdoms grew world over, its pathetic Nigerian politicians keep exploiting those stories for selfish reasons when history also teaches that economic prosperity is what guarantees ethnic preservation

DELTA & IBORI LOOT
Delta state heading to the supreme court for the recovered loot is dead on arrival. Proofing the exact withdrawals that totals that £4.2m is harder than they know. Ibori's 8 years annual budgets would have to pass through forensic review in the first place. 2. The projects and their accounts where the funds where siphoned from and all the personnel who participated in both document approvals & fund disbursements will all have to come say their roles which will expose them for prosecution (Remember criminal case is not time bound).

MAKING TRUMP A LEGEND
American elites have once again made those senseless decisions they've taken in the past decades among countries that has only made our planet more unsafe, only this time its at home. Everyone is taking a dump at Trump, but at what cost? 2. So some thousands entered congress, misbehaved & are being arrested on charges that takes only weeks or months in jail. But Trump is being vilified by both Parties & the Biz world. Forgetting that 74 million American voters are riding behind Trump, a group he did not create.

DIKKO'S FORFEITURE
For those who know what went down during Dikko's years at custom, the returning of N1.5b is a major insult, that's money for the boys. Which is likely why the EFCC is insisting on continuing the prosecution throwing the plea bargain into the dustbin. 2. Dikko's quest for soft landing was what compromised Brig Gen Ja'faru Isa (rtd), Buhari's man for NSA job in 2015.
Mysterious import waivers, seized container rackets, auto rustling & all kinds of economic crimes all organised at the top.
All customs warehouses became malls.

PROSECUTING ENDSARS PLAYERS.
As a Kaduna bred, I've experienced all the riots that made the town a hotbed. From the Maitastine of 1982 to the Kafanchan of 87, Zango kataf of 92 & Sharia of 2000. After the crisis, govts set up investigative panels, who turns in reports later. 2. But not once was there even an attempt at implementing the recommendations of those panel or give justice to the victims by prosecuting those fingered. Similar attitude trails all uprisings in Nigeria, this helps to understand the LASG approach to handling the endears crisis.

PROGRESSIVES & TWITTER WAR.
The bird App is assumed to be for the well educated in the society but the trend in Naija twitter indicates contrary, more worrisome is how pedestrian issues are given high attention. And the main losers seem to be the progressives/ Buharists/ APCist. 2. For the months I've been fully active here, I observe that each time the progressives are gaining traction on any trending topic, all the opposition do is to introduce a diversionary topic & bingo,the rest of the time is spent on a useless matter. 3 examples will do for 2021;

BEYOND FAKE NEWS.
So 15 people died in a car crash in Kaduna with reports from FRSC but the media reported it as bandit attack. Unfortunately, all the presidency could say is; The media should Stop fake news. Well when it comes to terrorism, the impact goes beyond clicks & RT 2. The countries where acts of violence are exceptional are profiled by both global rating firms & investment/ hedge fund managers. They collate and feed these whole media figures into a standard template for determining good investment destination. So with our media obsession

ERRONEOUS THINKING
After the school kidnapping in Katsina over the weekend, many handles were grandstanding in their trolling of Buhari & condemnation of our security personnel. More are even making it a political affair.They sound that way cause they do not reside in the North. 2. The error is thinking these terrorism & banditry case is a northern fight, therefore ''let them face it''. As it presently stands, the North is the buffer zone taking the heat from these marauders and stopping their advancement down south. Making it a 2023 politics is fatal.

THE BURNT OSUN WOMEN
1.Two women were allegedly called kidnappers & before anyone could say pim, they were burnt alive. These & similar barbaric cases have gone on for years silently without moves by govt to stop it, this is how DISREGARD FOR THE LAW start & destroys society.. 2. Someone on the street alleges that another someone is acting like a kidnapper & without allowing those trained to sieve the truth, the accused were burnt alive. That it happened is horrible but that its seen as normal tells more about who we are than we want to admit.

THE NORTH & THE PLAYERS
1.The solution to the insecurities of the Sahel region is unfortunately far from here. Beginning with the US alone having 29 military bases in Africa with 15 of those in our region. Then France with military bases in all francophone countries for both 2.Troops on ground & drones centres. Monitoring militias (Arms) movements from Libya to the restive region of morocco, then Mali,Niger & Chad. Up to the horn of Africa where somalia serves as training ground. Basically we dealing with hundreds of million of dollars in arms sales

SMOKING GUN
1. In post 1991, following the victory over Saddam in the gulf war, destroying him became the project. Allegations of chemical weapon used on Iraqis was all over western medias without proof until one was manufactured in Halabja, a Kurdish town. 2.And Suleiman Doud al- Afari was made the fall guy. Piled with the WMD hoax, invading Iraq was mission accomplished. Millions dead & millions more in exile, while the missile ruins and scatters everywhere, no apology or compensation from the west, Just moved on.
