Thrash

You can't pull 'something' down with 'nothing'. Can you please juxtapose the word 'thrash'. Thanks.

SiriusBlack: Love that song..You know that James Blunt was a Sandhurst-trained Officer in the British Army? he retired as a Captain..

@SiriusBlack..you're right. He wrote the song from his wartime experience in kosovo war. Same things are happening here in NE theatre of op today. Brothers are kia, mia....deserters as well. Villagers are at the mercy of terrorist. It's high time we adopted a game changing strategy.

No Bravery

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

...And now why is the Emir opposing house-to-house search after the attack. Some things are better left unsaid.

I wonder how we reason in this country. Most of us don't know the challenges faced by security agencies at some of these borders.
For example in 2009 at kongolam(katsina)-Niger border, 2 custom officers were killed by irate mob(smugglers) to retaliate d death of some smugglers who died in accident trying to maneuver custom check point. The same incident would have re- occurred if nt for quick intervention of some military chaps.
If d project is approved,its sure some ppl will benefit frm it,but if properly executed - I'm sure the perimeter fence with sensors n camera combined with effective border patrol will curb a lot of sy challenges at d borders with multiple effect on d economy as well.
On a lighter mood u need to watch d drama between custom and motorcycle riders smuggling contrabands, the villagers will come out en masse to watch d drama n to worsen d situation they would help d smugglers to escape wt their load whenever it fell off their bike.
Its not enough for us to sit behind our computer screen or hold our media devices n type rubbish about issue we know little about.

My mum got pregnant again, through his ministry in the 80s,10 years after our first born and I was born. The goods that men did follow after them. RIP great man of God.

It takes 36 hand grenade 4 seconds to explode, how can u detonate a grenade except it was nt properly primed. Naija I hail o.

I'll advise that katsina bound corp member should not call anybody claiming to be an Army officer with d battalion in katsina on this thread. If u enter katsina at night u can take a bike to d barracks and ask for the adjutant or d CLO. Ur personal security is in ur hands. I'll see how u can be assisted, as time goes by.

"If u lack security enter an APC"- Tinubu.
