No-Go Areas

No-go Areas
When the president inaugurated the National Conference on Monday 17 March 2014, he gave the 492 delegates a long list of no-go areas. One of them is the Federal Character that many believe is past its sell-by date, but which some indolent states want kept on the shelf. It is very much like the affirmative action.  
The peculiarity of ours is that on the account of it some states have suspended the advancement of their citizens indefinitely. With anything concerning the Federal government, these states nominate unqualified and incompetent individuals who represent their best to fill their quota.

"We Don't Know Where The Abducted Girls Are"

For those coming into contact with the word for the first time, “Aso” or “Aso Rock” is a 400 metre monolith, the most prominent feature in the sprawling landscape of Asokoro District, Abuja, where the Presidential Villa, the National assembly and the Nigerian Supreme court are located.
Thus, Aso Rock Presidential Villa is the Nigerian Presidential Complex where the residence and office of the Nigerian President are located. That should help you understand the cartoon/poster better.
