Two Nigerian Air Force personnel simply identified as Uche and Sanni, have been killed by armed bandits in line of duty in Zamfara state. The soldiers were reportedly killed after an attack by the gunmen in the region. Their corpses have been recovered by the Air Force and efforts underway to apprehend those responsible.

Meanwhile, at least 30 persons were reportedly killed by cattle rustling and kidnapping gangs during raids on villages in Zamfara State on Tuesday.

According to the villagers, bandits on motorcycles stormed five neighbouring rural villages in the Maradun district of the state, firing indiscriminately and stealing livestock.

By bandit they mean Fulani herdsmen

RIP to them, Nigeria is fast degenerating to a failed state in the north...... and yet the govt keeps saying they have conquered the insurgents

When do we at least reduce this killing?


BARR, HON SERGIUS OSEASOCHIE OGUN FOR 2019

Apparently, a showdown with men of the underworld isn't as easy as waylaying bloody civilians.

Rip to the dead.. May. God. Heal the family of the deceased.

But they will deny it.

Government of denial.

Every time it's only Igbos, Hausa-Fulani, SS and Middle belt soldiers are dying. What day have you heard of an afonja soldier die? Where are afonja soldiers? They no dey die or are they not in the military? Wicked fake patriotic things...they claim to love one Nigeria but will never serve their country. Same thing happened in the civil war, over 90 percent of Nigeria soldiers that died were Hausa-Fulani and middle belt.

Edit: They will start replying me now and telling us how smart they are. This is to tell you how useless and senseless these people are; claiming smartness for patriotism. SMH

Fulani herdsmen are killing our soldiers here and there. If it was another tribe, they will raze down the whole place. Shame.

The way they treat these people with kid gloves but bring commando style for the rest of the country is disheartening.

Army biko bury your dead. After all,the dead soldiers must have provoked the assailants. (That's what they always say whenever they launch an attack)

The only tribe that is allowed to butcher people under provocation....

As more and more countries dump the US dollar for other national currencies, the dollar and the US are becoming increasingly isolated.

In order to avert a sudden dollar collapse, the US has taken robust measures in the past to avoid this, and went as far as militarily attacking countries that dumped the dollar.

Iran’s decision on April 18 to dump the dollar makes an American military onslaught on the country all the more likely if we look at recent history.

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had announced that Iraq would no longer sell its oil in US dollars just prior to the US launching its regime change mission in 2003. The US had pushed for a no-fly zone over Iraq which was a tactical move that led to air superiority over Iraq, and the overthrow of the regime. The same tactic was used in Libya some years later.

In 2011, NATO militarily attacked Libya, enforcing a no-fly zone over the country, to thwart Libyan leader Muamar Gaddafi’s attempt to create a gold-backed African currency in dinars. Gadaffi had an estimated 150 tons of gold, and had also pushed African and Middle Eastern governments to also dump the dollar.

In 2011, Editor of the Daily Bell Anthony Wile had written that the central banking Ponzi scheme requires an ever increasing base of demand and the immediate silencing of those who would threaten its existence. According to analysts at the time, if Libya and other nations were to dump the greenback, it had the potential of bringing down the dollar and even the world monetary system. This concern had led former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to call Libya a threat to the financial security of the world.

Gaddafi had almost as much silver reserves as he had gold, which meant his idea of creating an African currency posed a serious threat to the French franc (CFA), which was the main currency in West Africa. Even when former president of the Ivory Coast Laurent Gbagbo had planned to move away from the CFA and wanted to encourage other West African nations to do so, the hand of the French was evident in his removal from power. For years he was held by the International Criminal Court without charge.

There is no question that the West wanted both Iraq and Libya’s oil, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was the insistence on moving away from the US dollar.

Syria is yet another example of a country that in 2006 had switched the primary hard currency it used for foreign goods and services from the dollar to the euro, to make it less vulnerable to pressure from Washington. In US foreign policy circles, the fact that Syria had strong relations with Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Iran, Russia and China was already problematic, but moving away from the dollar was intolerable.

As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton later admitted, the US poured arms and cash into the hands of Sunni rebels in a proxy war that continues today.

On April 16, Turkey decided to repatriate all the gold it had in the US in a move to dump the dollar. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that everyone should be trading in gold. This was a major blow to the US economy given that Turkey is the 11th largest gold holder with 591 tons of gold worth US$23 billion. The fear of the US is that this will lead to a domino effect that will not only affect US leadership in the global economy, but bring down the US economy itself.

Two days later on April 18, Iran decided to dump the dollar and use the euro. President Hassan Rouhani and his cabinet decided the euro will be used when giving the Rial’s exchange rate in all official statements and acts.

What was the reaction to that?

Exactly three weeks later President Donald Trump announced the US was pulling out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. This was vociferously resisted by the Europeans who are refusing to be dictated to by US foreign policy whims. France has even said it will start offering euro denominated credits to buyers from Iran for goods made in France. It is all so hypocritical when one considers that Iran has consistently kept to its side of the nuclear deal according to the IAEA, and Iran has never invaded anyone in its history.

But the US has more than just Turkey and Iran’s recent announcements to worry about. Last year China rolled out a payment versus payment system for Russian ruble and Chinese yuan transactions. Earlier this year Pakistan announced that it is replacing the dollar with the yuan for trade with Beijing. If more countries follow suit what we may see is a US recession at best, and certain global economic turmoil.

(a) BUHARI kinsmen have done what they know how to do...
(b) Two pythons down many more to go...
(c) They both died for nothing, Nigeria is not a country one should consider dieing for...

FINALLY THEIR REMAINS SHOULD BE DONATED TO THE SW REGION

RIP
Brothers #AIRBORNES you'll never be forgotten by NAF Brothers.
Everyday we loose our comrades in Buhari's blood thirsty tribe and more of us especially NON -Muslim are drafted there just to go get killed by them ..#Shame, I used to think there's pride serving ones father-land but now NOPE.

I pity Nigeria armys..

Federal Govt and APC are using their lifes to play politics in the hand of Fulani herdsmen and boko haram...

Bro, there is a big difference. Banditry is soo common in the north that its the third biggest problem there.
This bandits, specialise in stealing farm produce, herds, and so on and they are armed to the teeth.
Most of these stolon items (Cows, farm produce) make their way to southern market and sold off cheap.

We lose gallant soldiers almost everyday.Please Lord deliver our nation from the wicked and unruly men including selfish leaders.

The way igbo in the army are butchered, u will think maybe igbo are the majority in that army.

All due to the Bigot in Chief

Armed bandits indeed...see eh, I've stopped wasting my prayers for this cess pit of a country..a country so submerged in lies and hypocrisy that you begin to wonder how on this God given earth it still exists...

Any soldier that votes for Buhari in 2019 has signed his death warrant. It will only be a question of when his execution will take place, and who will be Buhari's instrument of death.

More proof that Nigeria is an Islamic country.

That's an helicopter to convey them back home. They begged the terrorists for their body I bet

Is this a diversion tactics so it would seem as if it is not only happening only in Christian dominated areas or is Zamfara State fast becoming another violence flash point

the yorubas are bunch of useless and fearful people they are only mouthed.

By first class citizens I suppose... fulani herdsmen are not terrorist... bloody zoo republic

They lied to you that Buhari being a retired general would make Nigeria safe.

What they failed to tell you was that Buhari just wanted power for the sake of it so that he can be counted as one of the military men that ruled the country both as military and civilian president (he simply want to measure with Obasanjo).

Today the country is in disarray, the man is busy chasing personal comfort whilst the country suffers.

Again, the suffering and smiling folks are busy angling to vote the incompetent tyrant for a second term while their future is further mortgaged.

Death everywhere!!
What a govt!!

Rip to d dead & courage to their family
We will get it right

Get ur PVC

They were killed by herdsmen....

I know it

I'm not typing any RIP again
My rip don finish.... Haba... Everyday rip
Which kind brainless president do we have sef

I won't be surprised if these young men are not from either SE, SS, OR SW. A grand scheme to decimate these zones in the name of fighting terrorism

.

And they said Nnamdi kanu was a coward simply because he wasn't armed like those Fulani marauders.
