Tinubu Man Reno Lecture Davido not to speak for Kidnap victims in Nigeria

[00:00:00]Allah Reno Omokri is advising Davido.

[00:00:05]Not just advice, he queried Davido.

[00:00:09]He did try to let Davido know say you are not in any position supposed to query the Nigerian government.

[00:00:20]Just imagine somebody based on say you be political appointee or you do support the now government, you come feel say you come fit tell person on who to criticize and who not to criticize. That is what Reno Omokri is trying to do with Davido.

[00:00:39]He said Davido cannot in any form criticize the government.

[00:00:46]According to his long write-up, Reno Omokri said publicity help terrorists.

[00:00:55]It does not pressure them, they treasure it.

[00:01:00]It is a very big mistake to think that publicity or global outrage pressures terrorists.

[00:01:09]Quite the contrary.

[00:01:11]They relish it.

[00:01:14]They thrive on it they thrive on it.

[00:01:18]The late British Prime Minister put it best when she said publicity is an oxygen to terrorism.

[00:01:29]Is there a way to with Davido do to the wear this you know say Davido recently at the FIFA uh World Cup ceremony wore this jacket?

[00:01:45]Mhm? This jacket that promotes the insecurity in Nigeria and promotes the activeness of Nigerian government about insecurity.

[00:02:01]Check out the jacket, guys.

[00:02:03]He wrote the names of those kids that were kidnapped in Oyo state and also the name of the teachers.

[00:02:10]You see, he said, "Bring them home."

[00:02:13]This what Davido did.

[00:02:15]You know, by in his own way to promote and of course like pressured the Nigerian government to do something about this insecurity.

[00:02:26]In his own little way in his own little way. Now, this man called they tell us say he no supposed to because if we are publicizing insecurity in Nigeria and pressuring the government that the kidnappers, this story is like it.

[00:02:43]Make we know forget there was a time in Nigeria where if kidnapper kidnap person, they will tell them, "Don't go to the police."

[00:02:52]There was a time in Nigeria.

[00:02:55]Maybe like say terrorists no they like show their face because they they fear.

[00:02:59]There was a time in Nigeria.

[00:03:02]Maybe like say if anything happen to you, make terrorists do anybody anything, they will first tell you, "Do not contact the government. Do not go online. Do not go to anybody." But now, terrorists will even tell you, "Go online." They will even be the one to do video of their faces and post it online.

[00:03:25]They no they fear again.

[00:03:28]All because of say Nigeria kept quiet.

[00:03:30]The time that we are afraid, Nigeria kept quiet. If Nigeria had protested as at that time put more effort that they are putting as at that time, maybe we no for know they hear anything like banditry like kidnapping or terrorism in this country.

[00:03:45]So, let me say continue on the what we know wrote.

[00:03:50]He said Davido means well.

[00:03:53]But doing what he did, which I will not elaborate on, because my readers know what I am referring to, actually helps the terrorists who took those children more than it aids the rescue of the kids and their teachers.

[00:04:12]Terrorists want publicity.

[00:04:15]That is how they spread terror.

[00:04:18]If you do not know about their terrifying act, they can't have the power to to they can't have the power of terror over you.

[00:04:29]If government If Nigerian government the government that I see that they are proactive, eh? We have confidence in Nigerian government go go rescue those people without chot chot cho.

[00:04:39]Nobody will talk.

[00:04:42]Everybody will be so relaxed. Nobody will be able to do a video because we know say the next one day, after a few hours, they'll go rescue those people and they'll go bow those terrorists.

[00:04:53]More than 2 weeks of God more than 3 weeks you say me person no publicize them again. You say me Davido no show the world. Upper.

[00:05:03]He said, "Publicity, however well intended, always work in favor of terrorists by increasing their ability to incite fear fear in the public and pressure government to give in to their demands by outraging the global community who then put pressure not on the evil terrors terrorists but on civil government.

[00:05:36]I was a presidential spokesperson under President Jonathan and the rescue effort of the Chibok girls were hampered the day Michelle Obama headed all the bring back our guest banner make it a cause célèbre.

[00:05:54]From that point, the girls became a high profile that it was more profitable from a terrorist standpoint for Boko Haram to hold on hold on to them at whatever cost.

[00:06:09]If bring back our guests had not been made such a global phenomenon their abductors would not have increased security around the girls and separated them making it more difficult for security forces to rescue them.

[00:06:29]Reno Omokri might be right, but then again I've said it before.

[00:06:33]If the government are proactive, then there is no need for any Nigerian citizen to be worried.

[00:06:39]Three weeks going to a month, those kids are still there. Are you saying many Nigerians are not worried?

[00:06:47]This is not providing solution. This is battering people who are trying to provide solutions.

[00:06:54]This is condemning people who are trying to bring to bring this thing out.

[00:07:00]Who are trying to give their best on the issue and I will tell David carry on. We appreciate what you did and what you stand for. And meanwhile, I heard that Senator Akpabio Senator Akpabio has ordered I don't know how he take get the power, but he has ordered the security agency to arrest any terrorist online.

[00:07:27]>> [laughter] >> Ah, this is Senate orders arrest of bandit flaunting cash online.

[00:07:41]He said He said Nigeria Senate has asked security agencies to urgently go after bandit and terrorists who are openly showing their activities and displaying money they claim to have made from crime on social media platform, especially TikTok."

[00:08:01]The issue was was raised after Senator Sunday representing Kogi State West Kogi State Kogi West presented a motion about the increase attack by bandit and terrorists in Kogi West and other part of Nigeria.

[00:08:19]Lawmakers expressing concern that some criminal group have become so bold that they now use social media to show off, spread fear and promote their activities online.

[00:08:31]During the discussion, Senator Natasha Akpoti of the Kogi Central added that agencies like the Nigeria Police Force, National Crime Center Cybercrime Center and other security bodies should work together to track these online accounts, investigate them and take actions.

[00:08:51]Well, then many where where make the the front money.

[00:08:55]They are many.

[00:08:56]But in recent times, the Nigeria authority has actually arrested some few people.

[00:09:03]These online people, let's be honest.

[00:09:05]They have actually arrested some few of them.

[00:09:08]And uh hopefully they are going to arrest more.

[00:09:12]The senator just gave order. I don't know if they are going to take this order seriously though.

[00:09:18]But the senator just gave just gave order to the Nigeria security agencies to arrest those bandit on TikTok on all social media platform who are flaunting money online.

[00:09:32]Well, this not the first time the senator is giving order concerning security and we have not see any results of such order. So maybe hopefully this order is going to change a lot of stuff, but meanwhile I want to tell Davido to carry on what with whatever is doing.

[00:09:51]To carry on with whatever is doing trying to amplify this matter so that those those those kidnapped victim will be rescued anytime soon. I have the confidence that they are going to be rescued. Inshallah.
