i mean all you have to do is take a map of Nigeria
and
say : OK, now let’s see. what part of Nigeria is problem free ?

is it THE NORTH ?
is it any of the THREE GEO-POLITICAL CUM ADMINISTRATIVE ZONES of THE NORTH ?

in effect,
is it THE NORTH EAST Geo-Political / Administrative Zone ?
is it THE NORTH WEST Geo-Political / Administrative Zone ?
is it THE NORTH CENTRAL Geo-Political / Administrative Zone ?

or

is it THE SOUTH ?
is it any of the THREE GEO-POLITICAL CUM ADMINISTRATIVE ZONES of THE SOUTH ?

in effect,
is it THE SOUTH WEST Geo-Political / Administrative Zone ?
is it THE SOUTH EAST Geo-Political / Administrative Zone ?
is it THE SOUTH SOUTH Geo-Political / Administrative Zone ?


the rumours regarding THE NORTH includes that
there is BANDITRY virtually everywhere in the North.

in fact, some rumours say it is a MIX of BANDITS and TERRORISTS.

these group of rumours and rumourers rumour that
a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA ALPHA JET PLANE
flown by a trained Nigeria Air Force Flight Officer
CAN NOT be shot down
by any one who does NOT HAVE
the necessary anti-aircraft missiles / equipment to do so
and
the relevant training on how to use the equipment.

and that
any miscreant? who has the
? boldness,
? courage,
? bravery,
? technology,
? training and
? equipment
to do so
IS NO LONGER JUST a mere local, village hoodlum or bandit
but a HIGHLY TRAINED, SOPHISTICATED COMBAT TERRORIST.

and then there was a rumour that
the NIGERIA DEFENCE ACADEMY ( NDA ) which is
located in THE NORTH of NIGERIA

was invaded by some folks
and some officers there kidnapped.

Gigi  Torres ohbee nm ( obi m ) ( obim ),
the NIGERIA DEFENCE ACADEMY ( NDA ) is a
TOP ELITE MILITARY INSTITUTION

where Nigeria Armed Forces Officers are trained
if i understand what the institution represents correctly.

it is the Nigeria equivalent of SANDHURST in the U.K ( United Kingdom )
if i understand what the institution represents correctly.

what’s the name of that place in the U.S.A where Navy Officers are trained ?
WEST POINT, isn’t it ?

what’s the name of what’s the name of that place in the U.S.A where
Army Officers are trained ?
FORT BENNING, isn’t it ?

well, Gigi Torres ormahleechar nm ( omalicha m ), ( omalicham ),
the NIGERIA DEFENCE ACADEMY is the Nigeria equivalent of
WEST POINT and
FORT BENNING,
if i understand what the institution represents correctly.

that being the case and the reality, Gigi Torres nnkeh nm ( nkeh m ) ( nkem )

can you imagine that
just any fool?
will wake up and decide to commit? suicide?
by going to a place where
Nigeria Army Officers are being trained
to cause a problem or some trouble there
and then
additionally?
actually be so foolish? and foolhardy?
as to kidnap Nigeria Army? personnel ? from there ?

the rumourers say that an ordinary bandit / criminal can not do that.
where will he get the nerve from ?

some rumourers say it is ONLY TERRORISTS that can do so.

some other rumourers say it is ONLY BOKO HARAM that can do so ?

by the way, Gigi Torres eefeh artuh nm ( ife atu m ) ( ifeatum ),
have you ever heard of BOKO HARAM ?
would you know if BOKO HARAM is a terrorist group ?

i guess you can google it.

and
i guess you can google the stuff about
an Alpha Jet being shot down in Nigeria
and/or
the stuff about
some officers being kidnapped in the NIGERIA DEFENCE ACADEMY
to sort of check to see if
the rumours have any iota of truth or any element of truth
in them or not.

i suppose we can leave off looking in the direction of the NORTH now
and
look in the direction of the SOUTH

however, it may be a notable omission if
before doing so
i.e before looking in the direction of the SOUTH
we leave off mentioning the rumours that

there is kidnapping in the NORTH 

and leave off mentioning the rumours that

cow herders of a distinct tribe – the FULANI tribe – have been
❌? killing people,
❌? destroying farmlands and
❌? raping female folk
in
the MIDDLE BELT AREA of the NORTH

according to the rumours
the kidnappings are done by kidnappers who
seem to belong to various groupings

including
? bandits,
? terrorists,
? Fulani tribe cow herders i.e Fulani herdsmen and
? independent kidnappers

and
the array of folks who have been kidnapped
include
? Secondary School female students,
? University students – male and female,
? Graduates – male? and female – on the venture to partake in the
compulsory one year NIGERIA YOUTH SERVICE CORPS ( NYSC ) Programme
? etc

anyway, Blah Gigi nnkeh nm ( nkeh m ) (nkem ),
let’s take a look at the SOUTH now.

in the SOUTH-WEST
there have been

rumours of kidnappings
by
Fulani tribe cow herders i.e Fulani tribe herdsmen
and by
persons who are NOT Fulani tribe cow herders.

there have been rumours of negative activities
by the Fulani tribe cow herders
including
… in addition to kidnapping …
✖️? killing people,
✖️? destroying farmlands and
✖️? raping female folk
in
the SOUTH WEST.

also, there are rumours that
the SOUTH WEST has formed a defence group called
AMOTEKUN? or so
to protect and defend it’s territories and it’s peoples.

and also there are rumours that
some groups and some individuals have
made calls in the Nigeria public space
for

the creation of a YORUBA NATION i.e a YORUBA tribe NATION

and for
an exit? or independence? of
the YORUBA tribe AREAS i.e the SOUTH WEST
from NIGERIA.

i guess you can google all of this stuff
to sort of check to see if
the rumours have any iota of truth or any element of truth
in them or not.

looking at the SOUTH EAST
it can be seen that
in the SOUTH-EAST

there have been rumours of kidnappings
by
Fulani tribe cow herders i.e Fulani tribe herdsmen
and by
persons who are NOT Fulani tribe cow herders.

and
there have been rumours of negative activities by
the Fulani tribe cow herders
including
… in addition to kidnapping …
✖️? killing people,
✖️? destroying farmlands and
✖️? raping female folk
in
the SOUTH EAST.

Gigi Torres. Model. USA citizen

the rumours also rumour that
there is a group
in the SOUTH EAST which claims to

protect and defend it’s territories and it’s peoples

however,
unlike
the SOUTH WEST YORUBA tribe AMOTEKUN
which seems to be apolitical? / non-political?
and to focus mainly on
protecting and defending it’s territories and it’s peoples

the SOUTH EAST IBO / IGBO ( eeboe / eegboe ) tribe IPOB?
which does not? seem? to have the backing? of
the administrations? of the SOUTH EAST states

in the same sort of way that

the SOUTH WEST YORUBA tribe AMOTEKUN
seems? to have the backing? of the
administrations? of the SOUTH WEST states

seems to have a
political and independence seeking i.e freedom fighting leaning

and has called for
an exit of the BIAFRA area from NIGERIA.

you may learn from google that
there actually was a 3 year war in Nigeria
from 1967 to 1970
called
the NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR or the BIAFRA WAR

related to an effort by the BIAFRA AREA to exit from NIGERIA
and a refusal by NIGERIA to allow that exit.

you may also learn from google that
unlike
AMOTEKUN which seems? to be a YORUBA tribe word?
IPOB is not an IGBO / IBO ( eegboe / eeboe ) tribe word?
but an English Language acronym or mnemonic  which fleshes out as
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA or so.

i guess you can google all of this stuff
to sort of check to see if
the rumours have any iota of truth or any element of truth
in them or not.

Nigeria : herdsmen menace – South East governors not serious with open grazing laws

looking at the SOUTH-SOUTH
one cannot help feel some compassion for them
if one has a sincere heart towards them.

this area also called the NIGER DELTA AREA has
historically
since the discovery of the huge earning potentials of Oil and Gas
been a CASH COW
and MAJOR REVENUE EARNER
for NIGERIA

and continues to be so till date 2021
although commercial quantities of Oil and Gas have also been found in
the SOUTH WEST AREA
and
commercial exploitation of this SOUTH WEST AREA Oil and Gas has
since commenced.

yet the SOUTH SOUTH AREA has for long
told tales of
?✖️? deprivation and poverty of it’s peoples
?✖️? environmental degradation from the oil & gas drilling activities
?✖️? environmental pollution of it’s waters, air and land from the oil & gas drilling activities

and is currently today ➡️ ?? circa 2021 A.D
in addition to all these ➡️➡️➡️

( … after just more or less rather somewhat freshly coming out from a period in which
there were
rumours of
bomb blasts and destructions of oil pipe lines and other? installations
by groups which were
according to rumours
movements for the emancipation / independence of the Niger Delta
from Nigeria … )

➡️➡️➡️ witnessing
in addition to it’s past pains and carried over pains

negative activities like
rumours of kidnappings
by
Fulani tribe cow herders i.e Fulani tribe herdsmen
and by
persons who are NOT Fulani tribe cow herders.

and there have also been rumours
about the SOUTH-SOUTH of
negative activities by the Fulani tribe cow herders
including
… in addition to kidnapping …
✖️? killing people,
✖️? destroying farmlands and
✖️? raping female folk
in the SOUTH-SOUTH.

i guess you can google all of this stuff
to sort of check to see if
the rumours have any iota of truth or any element of truth
in them or not.

so, yeah,
Gigi Torres nnmah nm ( nmah m ) ( nma m ) ( nmam ),
currently 2021 A.D,
it seems that
in VIRTUALLY EVERY DIRECTION you look
here in NIGERIA
— NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST or CENTRE –
you sort of see
one problem or the other
and
sometimes ( very ) many problems

and at a guess
it will require
effort by visionary and influential folks who

believe in and practise
a demonstrable policy of fairness to every part of Nigeria

and who have
a genuine belief in the holding together of the component parts of Nigeria
in a fair and equitable union

to sort out all of this stuff / these stuff(s)

and also
to sort out all the other stuff that
i haven’t detailed here e.g
the depressed state of the Nigeria national economy,
etc,
etc,
etc.
