They should call for external help cos if the whole of Mali should fall the West African region would be in serious trouble

They kicked out French and UN forces 2-3 years ago and instead started receiving help from Russia and Wagner. That was when the collapse started.

Ibime shey you see this and if its true

They have had the capital in a vice grip for weeks and are slowly strangulating it and stopping fuel supplies from getting through. Armoured vehicles, tanks, planes all require fuel. Bamako is doomed unless something miraculous happens.

Their president made several strategic errors.

Na STEM.

Iamoyindamola shebi na Chemistry ur guy Spy360 dey handle

Laye laye.

You wan stain Chemistry white.

raumdeuter:
When your student in school tell you they have a case in court, tell them to ignore legal advice and defend themselves in court. Dummy

Abeg which subject or course Spy dey teach? I hope it’s not a STEM subject o. God no go shame us. Hehehe.

BlueRayDick:
Sowemimo years later explained what he meant by his hands being tied. He said because he will sentence the young co-defendants with Awolowo, there was no way he would allow Awolowo walk. He said his hands are tied because letting Awolowo walk with a slap on the wrist sentence will be injustice.

But u are right, it was a political case and one side of the divide would always claim the judge was unfair

Very political case.

Nigeria’s justice system is in tatters anyways. We can’t go anywhere with the judges we have.

izzou:


Be serious for once

BlueRayDick:
It is not always advisable for a man to defend himself without the aid of a lawyer. Even Awolowo that was a lawyer who chose to defend himself at his trial over an attempted coup, ended up getting sentenced to prison despite putting up a good show.

Even if Johnny Cochran and Cicero had combined to represent Awolowo he would still have been found guilty. It was not a matter of him defending himself or someone else doing it.

You remember Sowemimo's "My hands are tied" statement?

Anytime I come across this guy's BAT poem, I dey always burst better laugh

PDPGuy:
Definitely! I don see her bakassi and know say the simps poured out the cash when they saw her g-string 😂

I am going to DM her to change her ways. As a professional DJ she shouldn't be dressing like that.

izzou:
They did not get any intelligence. Don't let the media lamba you.

Nobody with a right thinking brain will keep adults in a space where they got info of an attack....Talk more of children.

They got absolutely nothing.

But the people said guards were urgently sent to guard the place overnight, but those ones left early the next morning.

BlueRayDick:
I guess they had a rethink after considering the kind of economic loss that will happen to recreation centers and fun spots along that corridor should they carry on with the repairs.

They should postpone it to way after the holidays jare.

Why was it planned for this period in the first place? Thinking after deciding instead of thinking before deciding.

andrewbaba44:
Yes nah

Depay Brian Bobbey are both Ghanians

Even Gakpo na Togolese

Oh yeah. I thought you were talking about Curacao and Suriname.

andrewbaba44:
Once you are from the Netherlands and you are not good as a black ,na curacao and Suriname you go settle for

Vvd : Suriname
Jurrien timber and brother : curaçao
Gravenberch : Suriname
Noa lang : Suriname

The rest of their black guys are from Africa sha

Africa bawo?

raumdeuter:
I was coming to post this

Haiti Curacao Jordan Uzbekistan Cape Verde all qualify for the world cup but not Nigeria

Not beating Lesotho and Zimbabwe at home cost us. Zimbabwe came last in the group and had no reason to get a draw in Nigeria.

BlueRayDick:
Saka will never play LB for Nigeria, he will rather play Olise's position or not play at all.

Abeg commot Ndidi there before I open my eyes egbon.

More like Saka was not gettable for us. However, if we had called him up and somehow gave him a number of caps and then Olise later came along, he would have had no choice but to play wherever the coach played him.

Unless you are saying he would have retired from international football rather than move to LB.

Ellexy:
Exactly. Whole thing looks like they set him up and wanted him gone. If the military is compromised like this, what are the chances of winning this war against terrorism and insurgency?

Very low.

BlueRayDick:
If the government doesn't make a move to silence the voice of people like Gumi who hold serious influence, nothing will change. He even has a son who is a commissioned officer in Nigeria army whom I believe must also subscribe to the same ideology as his father. How does the country defeat terrorism like this?

Look at Shettima the VP too, he doesn't strike me as a person who believes in government pounding Islamic terrorists. His association with some of them in the past doesn't paint him in good light at all.

I don't know how Tinubu will do it, but he needs to do something and it should be fast before Kwara, Kogi and Ondo are overrun because when that happens even the Lagos he comes to for festivities won't be safe for us all.

Gumi himself is a retired military officer. It looks like that family get some evangelism wey dem dey do inside the army.

izzou:
Na chaplet and Bible we take dey waka oh.

I never go Yobe sef. The farthest in that region na Jos, and dem say Jos to Damaturu na 5 hours, and e dey safe.

Na him I say make I try oh..

No let them whine you. Maybe they mean that it is safer than Sambisa.

izzou:
Part of my December was supposed to be spent on Yobe. I and my guys were already mapping it out. It was the wedding of son of someone important to us

Lagos to Jos to spend few days
Then Jos to Damaturu for the wedding
Then we play enter Maiduguri (1 hour journey), and then we start our journey to the East for Christmas.

Plan was already out, when one person said e no dey go again Say e dey fear...E get dream say dem ransom our enemies.

Na so we tell Alhaji say we no go fit come oh

Nothing wey anybody fit tell me. Na you brave pass for this thread.

For this situation wey we dey you still dey plan follow faaji go Yobe. Yobe loun loun.

izzou:

Nnackwe don talk. Case closed.

Roland17:
Bar Akanji/ Tomori, I don’t think we were getting the others to play for the SE.

I think the likes of K. Schade (Germany/ Brentford), Samuel Omorodion Aghehowa (how we missed this one is beyond me), Karim Adeyemi, Nmecha were the next tier we should have tied down and could have convinced but missed out on.

Yes. Those were all gettable.

I think we could have gotten Eze if we tried really hard. The guy made his England debut at 25. You are right about Musiala, Saka, Olise though. No chance.

Roland17:
Baba nothing to forgive jare. I still dey vex since yesterday, you would have seen my posts after the game. I still maintain my stance that the other levels should continue but the SE should be disbanded until further notice.

The truth is African football has caught up with us. We had a lot of time to develop our game and style but we have stagnated. Gone are the days when Nigeria used foreign based players as advantage against African countries. That Congo team paraded experienced players across their first 11 and bench.

We have to look outside and be more intentional about the talents we are looking to convince. I feel like we need to focus on our midfield.

After the WC we should be aggressive with the likes of E. Nwaneri (Arsenal), D. Udogie (Newcastle/ I think he has been capped for Italy but I don’t know if can switch), H. Ahanor (Atalanta), M. Kayode (Brentford), T. Iroegbunam (Everton).

Eberechi Eze got his England cap at 25. Someone we should have gotten since.

Udogie has a dozen caps already. So that ship has sailed.

Nwaneri’s own is dicey. He is highly rated in the England set up but because of how stacked England are in that position I think it will favour him longterm to chose us.

Hehe. People still dey lament.

If you don’t have hope you can’t lose hope. The truck is to not have any hope in the Super Eagles. That will protect you from disappointment.

With regards to the talent thing, one problem is the number of potential footballers that we have lost to pressing and other misadventures.

Also, many of our foreign-born players are top class and end up representing European countries.

In another matrix we line up like this.

………Aina……Akanji…….Tomori….…Saka…….

………………………..Ndidi……..Iwobi…………………..

…………..Olise…..……Musiala………..…Eze………

……………………………..Osimhen…………………...

And we win the World Cup. LOL

TemporaryHansel:
When it's time to burn down villages in the south, or harass civilians, Nigerian soldiers become very gallant.

When e reach time to protect general for war front, e go turn to "we were ambushed".

On this issue you have been talking out of point.

Raumdeuter

Abeg which course be this one for your department?

Person name na Frank Oko and you allow am near your wife. Ultimate lose guard.

BlueRayDick:
This particular brigadier general story no clear at all. There's definitely something fishy about how the military is prosecuting this war against insecurity.

They ambushed him with overwhelming force, most likely because they knew about his movements.

He escaped with a small group and then communicated to the army where he was so that he could be rescued.

ISWAP intercepted the communications and went to get him before his rescuers got there.

The army appears to be compromised at all levels. The soldiers are fighting enemies without and enemies within.

Ibime:
There is nothing minor about a 19 year old going with a 14 year old

Ay 17, I got mad cos a 15 year old tricked me into one or two

WizKid is naturally a weak/small guy, that must play into his psyche of seeing a 14 year old as food.

tricked?

Ellexy:
Taking out a Brigadier General is no small feat. This is the first time since it will happen since this insurgency began. I fail to see the reason why the military will lie about something like this when the know it will be exposed. For what?

It seems he wasn't captured initially but had retreated with a small group of soldiers. It was when he radioed for an extraction team that ISWAP found his new location and got to him first.

Ellexy:
They actually lied. They didn't make it back to base. ISWAP successfully captured and killed a brigadier general of the Nigerian Army. The military is clearly compromised.

The guy escaped the initial attack but when he communicated them his new location for them to come rescue him ISWAP got there first.

Jack Bauer things. The moles inside the army are right at the centre.

PDPGuy:
So Osimhen, like Van Dyke, will likely make his first WC appearance in his 30s?!!

Damn, that is so rough on him 🙆🏽‍♂️🤯

Better players than him have missed playing at the World Cup and that appearance in his 30s no even sure for am .

To reach centre circle don become WAEC. Banana don turn iron. That extra time against Gabon finished us.

This Ejuke must have bribed someone.
