madridsta007: They don’t even know what they are fighting for. Frankly, I don’t understand why young men— especially from the South— enlist in the Army. They seem to send them all up to the North, to their demise. But one cant fault the army here. You are sent and you obey orders. It is as simple as that.
That's the worst aspect of these soldiers who don't know what they are fighting for.
Is it Unemployment that drives them to fight a useless and endless religious war??
An American Marine must first know and be convinced over what he is going to fight for, before he ever sets feet on the fighting front.
Many of Nigeria's soldiers don't know that they are fighting against millions of Northern Nigerians in the 12 Sharia states who share same objective with Boko Haram for a country to be governed by Islamic Sharia criminal justice system.
Nigeria without the twelve Sharia states shall end Boko Haram insurgency.
The Boko Haram killers shall be rewarded with integration to Nigeria armed forces.
Boko Haram says it's fighting for Nigeria to be governed by Islamic Sharia criminal justice system, the same criminal justice system adopted by the twelve northern Nigeria's states. The difference between Boko Haram and most people in the twelve Sharia states is like the difference between twelve and one dozen.

Nigeria police were reduced to army of occupation for the cabal. Criminals have their ways cool.
CallMeDrino: President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met with speakers of the 36 states Houses of Assembly of the federation at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The speakers were led by their Chairman, Mr Mudashiru Obassa, who is also the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly.
Though the agenda of the meeting was unknown as at the time of filing this report, President Buhari and the speakers are expected to deliberate on national issues, including security and autonomy of the Assemblies.
Those at the meeting included the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.
Others include the Permanent Secretary, State House, Jamil Arabi and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters.
Nigeria's 36 states political structure with 20 states in northern region makes it easy for apex political office holder from the north to sieve off any politician who does not dance to the tune of the apex political office holder. Restructuring Nigeria from the skewed 36 states and Abuja structure created by soldiers from northern Nigeria is the solution.
Igbo: A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Jackson Ojo, has advised the South to forget their dream of producing the President of Nigeria in 2023, saying at the expiration of his tenure, President Muhammadu Buhari would handover to another northerner.
Ojo stated this yesterday in Abuja in a chat with our correspondents. The APC chieftain while counselling the South to build a common front ahead of the next election cycle noted that South lacks the capacity to politically engage the North in a battle of supremacy.
In his words, politicians of South-West extraction currently agitating to replace President Buhari in 2023 lack the visibility and national acceptance to make good their dream saying, “who is there in the South that has the national clout? There are some people in the South-West that are making noise today, wanting to be President.
“The truth is that they cannot be President. That is it! Mark my word! APC Presidential candidate in 2023 will emerge from the north. The South-West will be given the Vice Presidential slot. And if the PDP takes its candidate from the South, then they have given the opportunity to the APC to win again. The south does not have the political capacity to fight the North.”
Justifying his reason for rating the south so poorly, Ojo, who doubled as Coordinator, Yoruba Youth Alliance added that the north has since left the south behind in terms of togetherness and unity; factors he claimed would determine who gets the Presidency in 2023
He continued: “The people of the South are agitating to be President of Nigeria in 2023. Is it by mere verbal expression? The North has 19 states including the FCT. The South has 17. There is no political synergy between the South-East, South-South and South-West. Each of them is standing independently as a pillar that cannot be moved but when you go up north, you will always get the traditional bloc vote because there is a unifying factor among them.
“Religion can unify them and they have leaders that can unify them. In the north, you have the Northern Governors Forum, the Northern Senators Forum and all that. Do we have these unifiers in the South? South-South is standing on its own, same with South-East and South-West. In the South, there is a multi-dimensional dichotomy, politically that is. Such a dichotomy can never be found in the North.
“Let us not deceive ourselves. What is the voting capacity of the North? The voting capacity of the South-South and the South-East cannot withstand the voting capacity of Kano, Katsina and Kebbi states.”
There are agitation by Southern politicians, particularly from the South-West and South-East for the zoning of the APC Presidential ticket at the expiration of President Buhari’s second tenure in 2023, with the likes of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Tunde Bakare being seen as likely aspirants.
Southerners don't even understand why north can say this in democracy, and it shall happen.
When you tell these southerners that Nigeria's democracy is fake due to the lopsided political structure of 20 states in one northern region largely controlled by Fulani, but a meagre number of 17 states in the two Southern regions - the southerners, including even their professors, don't understand.
There are supposed to be more states in the two Southern regions than in the one northern region.
It was fraud using land mass or population as yard stick to create 20 states in north.
ebukajay184: IgbereTV reports that Nigerian Evangelist Dapo Soyemi has said no woman wearing trousers has ever seen Heaven and in actual fact will never see Heaven.
The Evangelist made the claim on Facebook saying, it no one's objection can change the truth of God.
He wrote; “No woman wearing trousers has ever and will ever enter heaven. Your objection cannot change the truth of God.”
Dickson, Timpiriye and Lyon brought the enemies to the eastern territory.
They found an NCE holder suitable to improve the Bsyelsa economy battered by Dickson. All hands must be on deck to drive away the enemies before they place their Crescent on the lamp poles of your streets. That's their objective in using a most violent election in human history to conquer Bayelsa State and impose their stooge.
NORSYK: Uche nwosu didn't cum During election, didn't cum at tribunal, didn't cum at Appeal court, despite using 10 packs of Vaseline on masturbation, he won't still cum at supreme Court.
Nwosu's association with Okorocha is a minus for Nwosu.
Okorocha governed Imo state with evil intentions, private political and business interest made Okorocha waste Imo state's eight years resources building vainglory projects in the state capital, with the hope that more people would see the projects to regard him as good presidential material to succeed President Buhari.
Nigeria's democracy is a fluke. Those on top can weed away any politician who does not sing to the tune of those on top. Buhari's ambition of Islamization has brought all to the fore. Nigeria's political structure of 20 states in north and 17 states in the two Southern regions is a roguish political structure which makes presidential election not winnable by southern politicians.
BengaziTherapy: Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja after presenting the Bayelsa Governor Elect, David Lyon to President Buhari, APC National Chairman threw jabs at APC decampees who lost their election including Senator Dino Melaye who trails the APC candidate, Smart Adeyemi by 20, 570 votes in an inconclusive election.
freeze001: They have sent this one to start bad-mouthing Air Peace abi? If he was actually barred, why was he able to fly the air line last week as claimed?
Talking of criticism, how well does the APC/government works for take criticism? Why are we hearing nonsense hate speech and social media regulation bills? If he meant well, he could have contacted Allen Onyema personally/directly as a brother, i.e assuming his story is true but here he is trying all he can to discredit a brother and his business. Dirty gutter cow!
Joe Igbokwe is naturally a bitter man, hates progress, hates libertarian life style.
When Boko Haram started, Joe Igbokwe published a widely circulated article saying that his son would never do National Youth Service in the north.
This children of hate will have several heart attack tonight.
Please brethren help those who you can coz this thread is about to witness a lot of pain and gnashing of teeth from the Tinubu Haters.
Asiwaju Jagaban taking over all the states one by one!
Congratulations Bayelsans, I pray Lyon time as Governor yield good benefit for the good people of Bayelsa and I hope he dosen’t turn out to be one of the failed politicians that people regret voting!
97% % 5% are the worst hate statements ever to be made by a country's president.
Timpiriye Silva is on auto self destruct for his people.
zoba88: Bayelsa State Governor-elect, David Lyon with Minister of State, Petroleum, Timipre Sylva on Monday paid a ourtesy call to APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in Asokoro, A
Self interest that sold out billions of dollars worth oil blocks to northern personnel during the 1970s.
Like in 1967 when some of the "wise elders"?? from riverine areas journeyed to North, visited Hassan Katsina in Kaduna, and begged him to ask Gowon to carve non Igbo speaking parts of old Eastern region out from Biafra. Gowon quickly complied by creating Rivers and Cross Rivers states. The act crippled Biafra.
Shortly after, Arewa soldiers and political class colonised the oil blocks worth billions of dollars in the Niger delta.
The people Who oil are in their front yards now beg north for 13% from deprivation.
These ones are now working for the Islamic Crescent to be hung on every location in the riverine areas
Ebullience: The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared incumbent Governor Yahaya Bello winner of the 2019 governorship election in Kogi state.

Bello polled a total of 406,222 votes to defeat Wada who scored 189,704 votes.
SEGLIZ: you're just too stupid for this nonsense you post. learn to be civil and don't be pained with issues that are ephemera. no election anywhere in the world is fair so why vent your repressive anger on others he never attack you in the first place.
"No election anywhere in the world is fair"
You lie like Lai Mohammed.
Sweden, Switzerland Great Britain Etc conduct free and fair elections
Nigeria's Elections under Buhari govt is like Jihad.
subcbouy: hehehe Bayelsans are more wiser than all region altogether.
APC leadership consigned all the security organs of Nigeria to Moslems.
Consigned judiciary and legislative house to Moslems.
You say for Bayelsa to succumb to APC shows that Bayelsans are wiser than all easterners. Looking. Reminds one of 1967 when some riverine people begged Hassan Kstsina to beg Gowon to carve non Igbo easterners out from Biafra.
Gowon did. After that, Arewa soldiers and politicians took over oil blocks worth billions of dollars in the Niger delta till today.
That multiple buses are leaving the SE everyday to the SW for greener pastures thereby over populating the region which is taking a toll on social amenities and infrastructures.
Stop feeling too important please. Cant you all just leave Nigeria and move to the East so a message can be sent to the FG.
If a referendum happens, it will be rigged in favour of Biafra.
Millions of Nigerians are anxious for your exit
Self deception. Taa gbafuo. Gerrourihea.
Don't think that Ijaw can be part of that your Islamic country the day Igbo Biafra leaves.
