- In a newly shared interview, Gumi stated that while both acts are evil, taking hostages is less grievous than taking lives.
- He maintained that Nigeria must negotiate with bandits to prevent more deaths, citing past cases such as the Kebbi school abductions where victims were released unharmed.
Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has described the kidnapping of school children as a “lesser evil” compared to killing soldiers, insisting that Nigeria must negotiate with bandits to prevent greater bloodshed.
Speaking in an interview shared on Tuesday, December 9, Gumi said that while the abduction of minors is “evil,” it remains less grievous when compared to the maiming of soldiers.
“Saying that kidnapping children is a lesser evil than k!lling your soldiers, definitely is lesser. K!lling is worse than, but they are all ev!l. It’s just a lesser ev!l. Not all ev!ls are of the same power,” he said.
He cited previous incidents, including the mass abduction in Kebbi State, arguing that the goal of negotiation is to secure lives without fatalities.
“So it’s a lesser ev!l than, like, what happened in Kebbi. They abd@cted children, and they were released. They didn’t k!ll them,” he added.
In other news……A lady has ignited an online discussion after claiming that men, especially those in Abuja, can be just as focused on money as women.
In a lengthy social media post, she recounted her experiences since relocating to the city. Initially, she admitted, she was doubtful about the stereotype of men pursuing women for financial gain.
“Before moving to Abuja, I didn’t believe the stories. People would say Abuja men are like this or that, but I didn’t judge until I experienced it myself,” she explained.
She went on to describe how men often inquire about her living situation, whether she resides alone, and her financial status, seemingly with the intention of asking for money.
She emphasized that while women are frequently criticized for relying on men’s wealth, men can also exhibit similar behavior, seeking partners primarily for financial benefit.

@iamjecintakel: “This is 100% true. When I moved to Abuja, one man who came to visit refused to leave. He stayed for one week. Ate my food, used my stuff, used the AC 24 hrs and never contributed shi shi. I had to call my brothers to help me chase him away .”
@Feliz: “I have been observing this gathering; all they do is sit down and talk about men and women, marriage, and sex. Is that how unemployed our people have become, or what?”
