how do you think pakistan got its nukes

read, you will not read
na just to open mouth wa

pakistan, north korea, iran, and libya were in a quad pact to develop nukes

pakistan was the first to achieve success
north korea was next

libya gave up its ambitions and snitched on the quad
gadaffi was killed for that error

iran gave up its ambitions with the 2003 fatwa
khamenei was killed for that error

---

if pakistan and north korea could help each other get nukes
while in an economic malaise
the odds of iran getting it from either is stratospheric when they have a trillion-in-a-decade revenue stream

It was Iran that snitched on Pakistan

Several bandits killed as Army, DSS, Local Volunteer Forces Foil Attacks on Niger Communities

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of the Nigerian Army, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), and local volunteer forces on Tuesday successfully foiled what locals said would have been a large-scale attack by bandits on Bagna and Erena communities in Shiroro LGA of Niger state.

Credible security sources disclosed that the move by the operatives followed advance intelligence on the the planned attack.

According to the sources, as bandits in their numbers made to storm Bagna and Erene communities, the security operatives and volunteers ambushed them, killing scores of the attackers.

"Over 300 bandits armed with dangerous weapons and on motorcycles we're headed to the communities. Unfortunately for them, security operatives and local vigilantes, who had credible intelligence on their movements, ambushed them. Scores were killed while many others fled toward the Makuba and Allawa axis" disclosed the source.

Residents of the communities expressed gratitude to the security operatives and volunteer forces, noting that their gallantry saved them from what would have been a major disaster.

"We are very happy. We thank the joint security forces for protecting us," one of the residents stated.

"We are witnessing an increase in collaboration between security agencies and local volunteer forces. This has led to a bridging of security gaps, and making the first line of defence against insecurity very effective," offered the source, stressing, "their actions have helped strengthen security in several communities across the country."

Military eliminate 65 bandits, kill Ado Allero’s son in Zamfara offensive in coordinated ground, air offensive

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA, in a coordinated ground and air offensive, have neutralised no fewer than 65 bandits, including a notorious kingpin, Kachalla Iliya Sarki, son of wanted bandit leader Ado Allero, during a major operation in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara.

Credible security sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation, which took place at Munhaye village behind Kunchin Kalgo, dealt a devastating blow to the terrorists long associated with deadly attacks across Zamfara, Katsina and parts of Kano State.

The sources said the intense battle commenced at about 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and lasted for over seven hours, as troops engaged the bandits in a fierce exchange of fire, supported by precision airstrikes that decimated their positions.

According to the sources, the bandits kingpin Alhaji Ado Allero, had mobilised heavily armed fighters for the confrontation, deploying an estimated 300 motorcycles of fighters from Yan Wari axis in what appeared to be a coordinated attempt to repel advancing troops. Other fighters were deployed from the camp of Dankarami Gwaska and deployed as reinforcements against the troops.

“However, the superior firepower and tactical coordination of the troops overwhelmed the terrorists, leading to heavy casualties on their side,” one of the sources said.

Among those killed, the sources confirmed, were Kachalla Iliya Sarki, a key commander and operational leader within Ado Allero’s network, alongside other lieutenants identified as Dogo Sule and Iliya Mai Rasha.

“Iliya Mai Rasha was said to have taken over leadership responsibilities following the recent killing of another commander, Alti, last month,” the source added.

The sources further disclosed that seven vigilantes fighting alongside the troops paid the supreme price during the encounter.

In the aftermath of the operation, Ado Allero was said to have fled the area and is currently in hiding at Yankuzu twon, as troops continue pursuit operations to dismantle the remnants of his group.

Kachalla Iliya Sarki, described as one of the most vicious and feared bandit commanders in the North-West, had been linked to a series of deadly attacks, kidnappings and cattle rustling activities across Katsina and Zamfara States.

He was reportedly arrested in Katsina at some point during the administration of former Governor Aminu Bello Masari, but was later released following a dramatic incident in which his father allegedly orchestrated the abduction of senior police officers to force negotiations.

Security sources also revealed that the slain commander had, just four days prior to his death, travelled to Kano to rustle livestock, pointing to the trans-state operational reach of the criminal network.

His elimination marks a significant setback for banditry operations in the North-West, particularly in the tri-border region linking Zamfara, Katsina and Kano States.

“This is a major operational success. The death of Iliya Sarki will significantly disrupt command and control structures within the group,” a security analyst said.

However, security sources warned that the development may trigger retaliatory actions, noting that Ado Allero is likely to mobilise his fighters for reprisal attacks in response to the killing of his son and key lieutenants.

“This is a major operational success, but we must also anticipate possible revenge attacks. That is why troops are maintaining heightened vigilance across vulnerable communities,” a security source said.

The battle continues as exploitation by troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA continues as at the time of filling this report

Troops intercept suspected Boko Haram logistics convoy conveying 13 persons in Borno

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of Bravo Company, 159 Battalion, have intercepted a suspected Boko Haram logistics convoy in Kanama area of Borno State.

Security sources said the interception occurred at about 7:00 p.m. on April 2 at a checkpoint while troops were conducting routine stop-and-search operations.

According to the sources, the troops stopped a Toyota pickup vehicle conveying 12 males and one female en route to Dekwa.

During a search of the vehicle, two adult males were found to have sustained gunshot wounds.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the injured suspects were members of a terrorist logistics support network who had reportedly been ambushed earlier by troops on April 1 along the Usmadi axis while transporting supplies to a terrorist camp in Dekwa.

The sources added that eight torchlight mobile phones were recovered from the suspects for further investigation.

All suspects and the vehicle are currently in custody and will be handed over to Headquarters for further action.

ISWAP fighters face food, fuel shortages in Borno — intelligence

By: Zagazola Makama

Fresh intelligence has indicate acute shortages of food, fuel and essential supplies among fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in parts of Borno state, amidst intensified counter terrorism offensive.

The development comes amid sustained military pressure by troops of Operation Hadin Kai and other security agencies, targeting terrorist enclaves, supply routes and logistics networks across Borno and the wider Lake Chad Basin.

Findings from security sources reveal that ISWAP operating in camps within Mafa Local Government Area, particularly around the Dikwa and Sambisa Forest axis, are grappling with severe logistical constraints that are beginning to erode both their operational effectiveness and morale.

At the centre of the development is a reported distress communication by a senior fighter, identified as Abu Fatima, who is said to be operating around the Hamza Gajirom area of Dikwa.

According to the intelligence, Abu Fatima lamented that members of his group had not eaten for two days due to lack of food, while also pointing out shortages of fuel, tyre repair materials and even recharge cards needed for communication.

The report further indicates that an ISWAP commander based in a camp within Sambisa Forest acknowledged the situation, noting that he had earlier been directed to check on the group but could not establish contact due to poor telecommunications network in the area.

The commander reportedly admitted that even fighters in his own location were still awaiting fuel supplies, pointing to the widespread nature of the logistical challenges.

Sources noted that fuel scarcity is particularly critical, as it directly affects mobility, resupply operations and the ability of fighters to carry out coordinated attacks or retreat under pressure.
In insurgent warfare, mobility is everything. Once that is constrained, the group becomes exposed and predictable,” the sources said.

Further intelligence suggests that the affected fighters are unable to relocate due to lack of fuel and absence of nearby civilian communities or settlements from which they could source supplies, pointing to a growing level of isolation within the camps. However, the situation also reveals internal contradictions within the group.

Despite the widespread shortages, there are indications of selective distribution of resources, with a fighter identified as Ibn Bukar reportedly receiving a new motorcycle and rifle. This could point to prioritisation within the ranks or possible favouritism, which may in turn fuel discontent among fighters already facing hardship.

“Such disparities can create fractures within insurgent groups, especially when survival is at stake,” the sources added.

Military operations in recent months have increasingly focused on disrupting the ability of insurgents to access food, fuel and communication tools, a strategy experts say is now yielding tangible results.

Sources noted that the current situation may force ISWAP fighters into desperate measures, including attempts to raid vulnerable communities for supplies or increased reliance on local collaborators.

TROOPS OF JOINT TASK FORCE OPERATION ENDURING PEACE NEUTRALIZES THREATS IN JOS NORTH AND WASE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS AS NEW COUNTER-TERRORISM DEPLOYMENT YIELDS IMMEDIATE RESULTS

In a significant breakthrough ​aimed at restoring the desired peace in Plateau State, troops of Joint Task Force, Operation ENDURING PEACE achieved remarkable success in the late hours of Thursday during a targeted operation at Dutse Uku in Jos North Local Government Area.

At approximately 11:45 pm, vigilant troops responding to a distress call on sporadic shooting at Dutse Uku general area intercepted and apprehended 2 individuals masquerading as security operatives. These impostors, dressed in tactical black uniforms, were caught actively participating in the arson of residential properties and the orchestration of violence within the Community. Those arrested are currently in custody while 2 persons who sustained gun shot wound were moved by troops to a medical facility for attention and they are in a stable condition. This pivotal arrest serves as a direct rebuttal to recent allegations suggesting military complicity in the Jos North unrest, effectively proving that the atrocities previously attributed to official personnel are being committed by criminal elements using deceptive attire to sow discord and defame the Armed Forces.

​The momentum of this success extended into Karem in Wase Local Government Area, where high-alert troops successfully disrupted a large-scale movement of terrorists traveling via motorcycles. Upon being engaged by the military, the insurgents fled under the pressure of sustained combat. In the engagement, 3 of the terrorists were successfully neutralized. This surge in operational efficiency follows the strategic deployment of a battalion plus specialized counter-terrorism troops, an initiative ordered by the Chief of Army Staff on Thursday morning.

The immediate impact of these additional boots on the ground has acted as a decisive game-changer, bolstering the State's security architecture and restoring proactive control over volatile zones. In the light of these developments, all hoodlums, insurgents, and criminal syndicates currently operating within the State will be ruthlessly dealt with, as the military remains resolute in its mission to eliminate all threats to public peace.

The general public is kindly requested to maintain a high level of situational awareness and support the ongoing efforts by reporting any suspicious individuals or activities to the nearest authorities. Through continued cooperation and the current strategic offensive, the military remains committed to ensuring the permanent restoration of safety and order for all citizens.

Military airstrikes eliminate scores of ISWAP terrorists in Borno operations

By: Zagazola Makama

Precision air interdiction missions conducted by the Nigerian Air Force component of Operation HADIN KAI have eliminated scores of ISWAP terrorists in separate coordinated strikes at Kangarwa and Ali Jilamari areas of the Northern Tumbuns in Borno State.

Military sources told Zagazola Makama that the operations were executed on April 1, following credible intelligence and confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

The source said the first strike was carried out at about 12:05 p.m. on ISWAP enclaves in Kangarwa, a known terrorist stronghold, after ISR conducted on March 27 confirmed mass movement of fighters within the location.

According to him, airborne surveillance identified multiple terrorists operating around and inside structures within the enclave before precision munitions were delivered in successive attack passes.

He said the targeted structures were completely destroyed, with scores terrorists neutralised in the strike, while others scampered for safety in different direction.

In a separate operation at about 4:45 p.m. the same day, the air component conducted another interdiction mission at Ali Jilamari, described as a newly established terrorist hideout in the Northern Tumbuns.

The source said the mission followed credible human intelligence and ISR confirmation, which revealed active terrorist logistics hubs and structures within the area.

He added that the air platforms engaged the targets with precision strikes, destroying identified structures and logistics hubs while eliminating additional terrorists.

The source described the operations as part of sustained air offensives aimed at degrading terrorist capabilities and denying them freedom of movement in the Lake Chad Basin

The patronage obviously becomes lesser with the increase. I think that's the assumption you're getting wrong.

The roads are currently free in Lagos.

Ibiye to Agbara is 300 naira with Keke. This was the old price at 870/ltr. I still entered it at 300 naira today.

Alakija to 3rd avenue was 500 at the old rate with Okada. It is still 500 to 600 now at 1320/ltr

While I agree with you that 50 naira profit is not true, The increase doesn't mean more money. It brings a lesser patronage for them.

People will rather trek, lap themselves, find private vehicle to beg or get a lift, or find alternative means than pay the increase.

I was reading to see whether others will point out to him that an increase in fuel price often leads to decrease in patronage for transport workers. His assumptions fall flat when you consider the fact that there are less people on the road hence fewer people boarding vehicles per trip for the transporter.

Africans introduced Europeans to slave trade? Greeks, Romans and other Europeans have been practicing slavery in one form or another saying that Africans introduced slavery to them is erroneous

Following the recent discovery and subsequent legal proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja, a chilling narrative has emerged regarding a dismantled espionage network. Iran had sleeper cells in Nigeria who have been actively spying on both the U.S. and Israeli embassies. These cells were carrying out information and surveillance gathering on both U.S. and Israeli interests in Lagos, including the U.S. Consular office. They were sending this data back to an individual identified as Abu Ali in Iran through encrypted software, preparing such locations for a terrorist attack.

The operation was led by Haruna Ali Abbas, who acted as the primary coordinator for the cell. Abbas, along with Ibrahim Hussein Musa and Adam Suleiman, was intercepted by the Department of State Services (DSS) following a period of intense clandestine activity.

According to testimonies from DSS Deputy Director James Simon, the defendants confessed to receiving specialized training at an Iranian military barracks. During their time in Iran, they were instructed in weapon handling and the collection of open source intelligence specifically targeting American and Israeli assets.
The cell's tradecraft was sophisticated, utilizing coded language and high level encryption software to exfiltrate tactical target packages to their handler, Abu Ali. These packages included detailed lists of American and Israeli concerns in Lagos and their precise locations mapped out for potential kinetic strikes. Beyond physical surveillance, the cell even monitored diplomatic cooperation, such as Israeli agricultural support to the Kwara State government, to identify every possible point of contact.
The downfall of Abbas began on March 16, 2013, when Abbas was arrested at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport while returning from Lebanon.

The subsequent investigation revealed a broader conspiracy to recruit young Nigerians for terrorism training abroad. Now facing trial before Justice Emeka Nwite, the defendants extrajudicial statements have exposed the depth of the plot, with the court adjourning until April 4 for further cross examination as the Nigerian government seeks to finalize the sentencing for these acts of preparatory terrorism.

The sources said the materials were earlier intercepted after suspected terrorist couriers abandoned them near a military checkpoint in Mainok on March 8.

“Two suspected terrorist logistics couriers abandoned the items on sighting troops at a checkpoint, leading to their recovery,” the source said.

Items recovered included six rolls of black fabric, 10 pieces of 30-yard Ankara materials, two cartons of sachet beverages, 480 sachets of powdered creamer milk and four bundles of clothing zips.

The items have since been handed over to Sector 2 Military Intelligence Brigade for further investigation and necessary action.

BREAKING GOOD NEWS 🔥

Precision Airstrikes Crush Sambisa Enclaves, Scores of Terrorists Eliminated

The Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI has recorded a significant operational breakthrough following a series of precision airstrikes that neutralised scores of terrorists in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State.

Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the mission was launched based on credible intelligence indicating heightened insurgent activity around the Parisu axis deep within the forest.

At about 9:00 p.m. on March 20, an air asset was deployed to conduct an armed reconnaissance and interdiction operation over the target area. Upon arrival, the platform established visual contact with suspected Boko Haram fighters moving in a coordinated and tactical manner.

Further surveillance showed the insurgents converging on a concealed structure camouflaged under dense vegetation. Maintaining persistent overwatch, the aircrew trailed the movement to the hideout and executed a precision strike.

The strike was delivered with high accuracy, destroying the structure and neutralising multiple terrorists on site.

Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) conducted after the strike revealed that several insurgents fled from adjoining hideouts in disarray, attempting to escape deeper into the forest.

Maintaining pressure, the air platform tracked the fleeing elements and conducted a follow-up strike on another identified hideout. The second engagement further degraded the terrorists’ capabilities, destroying additional targets and forcing surviving fighters into chaotic retreat.

The sustained air presence and successive precision engagements highlight increasing air dominance, effectively denying terrorists freedom of movement and sanctuary within their enclaves.

Military sources added that the operation is part of ongoing, coordinated air and ground offensives aimed at dismantling remaining terrorist strongholds across Sambisa Forest and its surrounding corridors.

Saudi Arabia on Saturday denounced Israel’s strikes on Syrian army camps as “blatant Israeli aggression,” calling on the international community to intervene.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s strongest condemnation of the blatant Israeli aggression that targeted military infrastructure in the south of the sister Arab Republic of Syria, in flagrant violation of international law and Syria’s sovereignty,” the Saudi foreign ministry said in a statement.
