Ogbeni Oloruntoba.
Omoba Agbetuyi is my own preferred title because it is not a pilfered title. It is not a title one is free to adopt or disown or deny. The royal institution is still extant in Nigeria as far as I know whatever you may think of it.
Ogbeni Oloruntoba, we cannot compare oranges with apples.
When there are security lapses we say so. When there are investigations still ongoing we dont jump the gun.
If you believe President Buhari is afraid the present crop of service chiefs can stage a coup against Nigeria ( and not Buhari) then you will believe anything.
For whatever reason Buhari may not believe in frequently changing service chiefs( I know he is a very proud man who hates people telling him what to do -an overhang of his military days.) Who really is hoping for an extra ballot coup against the President revealed in the statement, 'as long as this man is in office?'
He will be in office till the end of his mandate barring serious health problems, insha Allah.
His renewed mandate may be the error of the electorate. But democracy allows the electorate to learn from their errors and move on from there.
OAA.
Mr. President, you took an oath to rule according to the Constitution.

Adupe o. At least for once, Alagba Salimonu Kadiri did not say those farmers should have known the danger inherent in going to farm before embarking on the perilous journey. But you still fall short of telling General Buhari to muster the courage to sack the highly inefficient and incompetent so-called Service Chiefs. I read elsewhere that Buhari is afraid to sack the self-serving service chief and regig the security architecture because he is afraid new service chiefs may not be loyal to him and may may plan a coup against him. I don't know how true this is. If it is true and I don't have reason to believe it is not , (why keep people who have failed serially to perform the first duty of the state, even after going past retirement age?) then Nigeria ti wo gau for as long as this man is in office. The service chiefs can authorize the shelling of innocent protesters to perform what Ogbeni Olayinka Agbetuyi calls the function of the state, but they are too scare to ward off and defeat the terrorists killing innocent people, almost on a daily basis. Troubling.

--Garba Shehu is a typical example of most of the close aides to President Buhari and his presidency. They are cunning, manipulative, crafty but ultimately stupid. In the present-day upside-down Nigeria, where dogs become step fathers of lions, it is not strange that Garba Shehu should become a surrogate for the Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Defence Staff, Minister of Defence and National Security Adviser when Boko Haram sliced the throats of 43 farmers in their farms in Zabarmari, 20 Kilometres from Maiduguri, the Capital of Bornu State. Instead of Garba Shehu telling BBC, a juvenile story of the need for military clearance before farmers could go to their farms even though there were no erected military warning signposts informing that *Trespass is Forbidden* in the area, it is Nigeria's overpaid, overfed, and obese Army officers that should tell Nigerians or the world where they were with their troops when Boko Haram took several hours to slaughter 43 farmers like rams in Zabarmari without being detected. What the Army allowed to happen to the farmers amounts to gross negligence, dereliction of duty and incompetence which in normal parts of the world would have resulted, not only in dismissals but, court-martials for felonious stupidity.S.

Bad communication by Garba Shehu and FG.
It is up to government to notify citizens of no go areas.
Saying an area has been liberated from Boko Haram sends wrong signals to citizens they are free to go to such places, if Boko Haram attacks can subsequently be executed in such places.
That farmers were attacked and kilked means such areas have not been liberatedand secured from Boko Haram.
