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

its either u are not current or u just deliberately chose to b sinister in ur reasoning

We need to retrain all armed personnel.

Nigerian Soldiers, policemen etc congregate in enemy zones without sentries, high grounds and layers of penetration. So a single gunman comes and sprays everyone in a surprise attack.

You should never all sit in one direction, all bunched up together. Never sit with your back to the door. Keep multiple layers of active sentries, both overt and covert. Claim the higher ground...always. Keep modern wound sealing first aid kit in your combat pockets, most gun shots don't kill but a little too much blood loss is fatal. Evacuate to nearest medical facility.

Above all improve on your marksmanship. I hear of multiple cases where in the heat of combat several bullets are shot and not a single target is hit.

Be your brothers keeper. Never run away or turn your back. You can retreat to reinforce.


Oorah!!!


Semper Fi!!!

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.

lol

They often run away at the sound of gun shots. Hence, they are out of harm’s way.

if northerners like make dem vote in buhari,na dem go hear am pass. we are obsessed with the happenings in borno and Benue but the one in zamfara are yet to be fully covered by media. my army friend who's in zamfara right now. it's already tired and regretting why he joined the army. he's not even up to two years he joined the Nigeria army and he don spend over a year in zamfara. and dem(army) no go let you quit just like that. there are more deaths there than the ones that are being reported.

I think they need to train our soldiers on mortal kombat that is real kunfu. I don't understand the news of bandit killing a soldier. E get as the news be for ear.

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.

Very insightful. Good points

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.

Weak military.

So in real war we will lose all our soldiers?

This is quite disturbing.

RIP. Nwannem and Sanni

All southern military personnel posted to the north should reject such postings,period.
