We updated him on all security issues around the country, within the country and outside the country, where our troops are.” “Of course, we have just updated him because he is aware of what’s been happening. He has been receiving regular briefings from the acting president and he has also been going through the print media and electronic media to follow the happenings in the country. “After the meeting, he has directed on some areas we should look at so as to enhance our operations in the country.” “The issues of security, every security threat, all security threats were treated one after the other ranging from terrorism to kidnapping, herdsmen/farmers clash, to IPOB issue.” “In his address to the nation, he talked about the unity of the nation which is non-negotiable. We have all been fully instructed to ensure that that directive is carried out to the letter,” he said. “We are going to enhance our operations in all the areas we need to do that. Like I said, he has given the necessary directives which will be carried out by the military and the security agencies.”

Buhari order to tackle Biafra Secret Service memace...are they carrying arms? The issue of IPOB can not be resolve with a force rather by dialogue and actions that enhance good governance. For instance, if the FG begin the Dredging of River Niger today, upgrade and open the Calabria, Port Harcourt and Warri Seaports, improve the epileptic Power Supply nationwide, withdraw Nigeria troops from all the streets in SE and SS, etc. With all these instances in action, Biafra agitators will disappear without firing a shot.
But unfortunately, we have Pharaoh as a president and not until his high handedness plunge Nigeria into Civil War, he will not be happy. Why is it hard to negotiate and dialogue with Nnamdi Kanu?

This man has come back to start the trouble that was not there. "If they cause trouble to start in the country, they run away and saddle us with the responsibility of bringing peace to the country", was he referring to himself? IPOB showed video of men and women they called BSS, we did not see any of them with gun or knife. They have not posed threat to anybody, why would Buhari classify together with BH menace? Nigeria is non-negotiable, meaning what? If Nigeria was the name of a man who got married and had children called Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa then we may all agree that we are the same blood. But these three ethnic nations that make up Nigeria have nothing in common, do not have the same DNA, neither the same language, not same ancestral history or culture and not the belief. Let the people who are uncomfortable with the project called Nigerian state leave as they please.

Only fools can be deceived, the fulanies are looking for a way of attacking the Igbo's. Secret service indeed, without weapons? I respect the intelligent of Nnamdi Kanu who knows how to toil with their little brain always. Some day soon, Nigerians as a whole will realize the important role Nnamdi Kanu has played in the life of all. OLUWA HOLDS THE ACE

President Buhari and the APC are Playing Tricks that will backfire just in Ten Day. The Language use on the State address by the President is a treat to a common Nigerian.
