That was the famous pincer move that was used a lot in World War 2 especially in the battle of Stalingrad to surround the German forces of about 200k

Technically I don’t even think the Stalingrad encirclement was a great tactical pincer by the Russians as such. It was more of the Germans pushing forward stupidly and refusing to retreat (because if Hitler’s mad instructions) and the encirclement happened naturally as more and more Russians arrived to their flanks and back.
Once the encirclement took place though the Russians squeezed the Germans to death in an unbreakable vice.

The great tactical encirclement battles that I can remember are Changping by Bai Qi, Cannae by Hannibal, Tannenberg by Ludendorff.

Khalid Ibn-Walid also used it. Alp Arslan also used it at Manzikert.

Battles of Marathon and Hydaspes can also be called pincer movements.

Larride on that Osmanonline website there is a series about Alp Arslan as well. He was the greatest ruler of the Seljuk Turks who came before the Ottomans. If you liked Ertugrul you wll like that one too.

then watch Boardwalk_Empire.....one of the best out there by hbo

Boardwalk is good but nowhere near GOAT status

Theflint1:
Exactly, too many bland characters and conversations, like there's not one scene you'd watch where the quality of conversation or acting leaves you thinking...na just good series wey person watch when e begin Sabi American series, that's why many remember it fondly.

I no too wan enter the series since many people love it here.
It would be like telling them that their first girlfriend who took their virginity na okpo. 😂

I have watched six flying dragon, I will try out deep rooted tree

It seem you are more into historical/ political film. I beg recommend some for me

1) Three kingdoms

It is about the breakup of the Han Dynasty. Lots of great characters here including Cao Cao, one of the most devious characters in all of history and his protege the equally diabolical but infinitely more patient Sima Yi.

2) Qin Empire 1, 2, 3 and Qin Dynasty.

Watch it in that order to follow how the Qin dominated the Warring States period and unified China.

3) The King’s War

About how the Qin fell and the Han took over.

There are a few other good ones but the subtitling will drive you crazy.

Ertugrul used to talk about Alp Arslan alot in that series.

I'll check it out.

For me, the policy is a good one. Talking abt its accessibility. Even LAPo wey dey give loan with huge interest go ask 4 ur BVn, nepa bill, voters card, nin plus one or two solid surety depending on ur loan package.

BlueRayDick:


Now that’s a show with a very much interesting storyline ! With its twists and turns

Now I see you like unrealistic twists and turns, overt cliffhangers to end an episode and leave you hooked for the next one, that's why you are dissing Breaking Bad and The Wire

Anywhere I see that kind of writing, I avoid it. After Lost use my brain play from season 4 to season 6 only to end up in nonsense, I can't respect that kind of writing. I saw my mates watching Prison Break, I viewed an episode or two, when I saw they were using unrealistic cliffhangers to end each episode, I stayed away from it.

OasisX:


......definitely The Nation coz Tribune don't give a fùck about him.

Yeah. It is The Nation. I remember now.


Anyways, good morning.

So, I kind of need your help with something. I want to translate these words "West Africa Tales" to Yoruba, with the sound signs.

I came up with 'Itan Iwo-Orun Afrika.'

But I really want to use a Yoruba word for Africa. I know Africans are called like "Awon alawo dudu", so will "the continent of Africa" mean "ile awo dudu?" Or there's a word for "continent" specifically?

I am sha trying to put it together like- "Itan Iwo-Orun Ile Awo Dudu" (West Africa Tales). How grammatically correct is that in Yoruba?

Itsrm:


I didn't watch GOT. Fantasies are not my thing.

It was generally agreed that the final season was underwhelming.

You definitely have to watch GOT, you will love it.

Ertugrul used to talk about Alp Arslan alot in that series.

I'll check it out.

Yeah. He was the greatest Turk that had ever lived as at the time of Ertugrul. He was the benchmark for a Turk in terms courage and military ability.

His real name was Mohammed Chagri. Alp Arslan was just his nickname meaning Warrior Lion or something like that.

You watched Lost up to Season 6?

You have forgiving spirit.

By Season 2 when I had deciphered their wicked plan I dumped the thing. God no go shame us.

Abeg...tell me a possible family wey fit satisfy the requirement of d student loan...as at today

BlueRayDick:


Smh…..

U are not so smart after-all . I’m telling u what the human rights lawyer said in the video u shared is sacrosanct !

What is Christian education regulation when the law doesn’t actually recognize Christian education ?

Are u listening to urself ? The president signs it and it becomes part of the constitution . U don’t even know difference between the constitution and acts passed by parliament into law .

🤦‍♂️

No, you ain't smart at all. That bill has passed the second reading already.In Nigeria there are eleven stages before bill becomes law, the final stage is when the president assent the bill.


You are not saying anything. Like I told you already, our constitution forbid official state religion( no explicit mention of secular state) but the de facto state religion (reality) are Christianity and Islam. That's why we have Chaplains and Imam in Aso Rock. The government foot their bills and all.

No religion should be superior to one another. What's done to Islam should be done to Christian.

We have Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs / There's CAN too.

There's National Board for Arabic and Islamic Studies, there should National Council for Christian Education too.

At least let there be mention of Christianity in our constitution just like Islam.

There’s no need eating time educating u since u won’t learn even if they open ur skull to inject sense .

This is my philosophy when watching movies.

That's why I can't watch horror movies.

If I know the actor will die, I won't watch.

I stopped watching Billions at season one because that shady guy was always winning. Why I go dey vex dey watch film?

Theflint1:
Game of Thrones has arguably the greatest first four seasons in the history of television and that's why people come after the producer's for the last season as much as they do. You'd enjoy game of Thrones.

Will give it a trial.

Look at this one. Go and educate yourself. Institutions/ Agencies get it validity from the constitution. Like the CBN Acts and all.


There are proposing for a new law which for now is a bill. It becomes a law when the president assent it.

That is the reason for a lot of nonsense that goes on. Christian do not do pilgrimage, but because Muslims do and a lot of govts have been financing it, now we have Nigerian Christians doing pilgrimage in the name of equity not because it is part of their religion.

We should be pushing for proper secularism, separation of religion and state.

Other wise, be reminded that there are actually multiple belief systems in this country, even within religions. Are we going to accomodate all of them in the same way?
