Where are we headed in this country????????? The President has already set a precedence by dealing with hoodlums, can you really blame other political office holders who choose to tow the line set by Mr. President?

The country has descended to a state of anarchy.

This is another evidence and confirmation that Nigeria is a failed state. If it has reached the stage of government begging armed robbers to temporarily suspend their activities because of Under-17 world cup and resume to torment innocent citizens after the tournament, then we are finished as a country.

These men are highly dishonourable, and a total disgrace to the Nigerian State.

well, we dont need to bother ourselves. its all about hardwork.

The only thing is that i have to sincerely appeal to Corporate Affairs Commision (CAC) to open a channel for robbers, kidnappers and militants to officially register their organisations.

Are we really supriseda t what the dishonorable members of Ogun state house of assemblies said? These are the same people who secure the services of these hoodlums during election periods. they know them by name and where they reside, they even know when they operate. If in doubt,ask Soludo in Anambra state.

I think the dishonorable houses of assembly in nigeria should all pass a law allowing CAC to register any group of robbers, kidnappers and millitants who wish to so they too can be officially recognised.

Only in Nigeria that law makers will be appealing to Armed robbers, In that case we the people of Nigeria are appealing to you the law makers both at the national, state and local levels to stop the looting of the treasuries while the U-17 event is going on,

My friends in Ogun state I think that it will save more money and life in the state more than what the so-called armed robbers are collecting.

How can a state robbers ask armed robbers to suspend there work while they are working themselves... go figure.

When Militants get amnesty and pay, why shouldn't armed robbers get their own share? Kidnappers too will soon get amnesty and payoffs.

It is QUITE COMFORTING to know this state has an OPEN CHANEL of communication with Armed Robbers..... Hmmmmmm!

But, I would like to know when Armed Robberies are approved or acceptable and OK in Ogun state... just in case I need some extra cash and need to rob a bank in say, Abeokuta or Ijebu Remo... Will the Ogun state government enter a Memorandum Of Understanding with me then?

I am planning a trip to Nigeria... hopefully, all 36 states of our federation could expedite a Memorandum Of Understanding in every state with local and zonal Armed Robbers to cease and desist from any nefarious activities... during my visit and stay in Nigeria abi?

Perhaps Nigeria's National Assembly should enter MOU with Armed Robbers too? How about MOU with Unemployment and desperations?

How about detente with all those corrupt looters? How about MOU with everything which challenges our beloved nation? MOU with our national funk will be a great idea!

I applaud Ogun state for entering this MOU with Armerd Robbers! It is quite an innovation! ha!
