Breakingtimes = Breakinglies?


I sure hope it's not true. Reading like the beginning of authoritarian with this administration.

They couldn't have come at the best of times.


*Sarcasm

The shiz about Banana Island is that for an overpriced neighbourhood, it still lacks the feel of what's basically an equivalent Million Dollars ($) Nigerian neighbourhood. The road kerb looks faded and other pictures I have of it shows out overgrown lawns and marshy areas.

For KING and Country - Fix my eyes

Pieces - O'my

Olodo.
How's are the scum bastards more numerous than the army. It rather boils down to poor humint and lack of proactivity from the army. Boko is now hitting at the rear and apart from testing attacks on Maiduguri every now and then to see if rear attacks would soften the frontlines, it is largely lacking in bite.

The only problem is as stated the lackadaisical attitude to the enemy by this new government. There needs to be a March on the government to show seriousness.

C'mon guys don't be naive. All it takes is a Google search of the images and or then cross reference it.

Clearly not a Nigerian soldier, can tell from the uniform alone, (very distinctively similar to a French style camouflage), then the architecture around looks a bit out of place with the usual Nigerian type.

Humans get impaled on a bull's horn.
They called it 'animal cruelty'

Of course, not without saying that the fools probably got what they deserved for deciding to foolishly confront an antagonised creature.

I'm a bit of a liberal, but I get annoyed when Islamists acts are denounced as non Islamic. Spare us the bullshite please. If BH quoted from the Bible I'll be deeply ashamed and would rather start searching inward at my religion to know what's up.

From the Philippines, flying across the Atlantic, caressing the East African coast, passing through the straits of Gilbratar and round to the Western part of Africa. People holding up the Koran are responsible for most of the religious motivated killings, genocides recorded there.

The truth is there's a fundamental problem of violence engrained within their religion. It's not normal for humans all on different continents usually not related or similar by culture or nada suddenly start committing similar heinous acts of violence.They all have one chant in common. 'Allah akbar' before beheading you.

If a significant number of blacks started murdering others all over the world, I don't think you'd be looked upon lightly for calling them as non blacks.

Liar liar, pants on fire!

I was glad to see the back of Jonathan, but now left extremely disappointed with Buhari's first days in power after all that pre election promises.

The 70% must be those living in Apo Legislative quarters, or either the NE, central states are suffering from delusion.

That momentum of unrelentless pursuit seems to have gotten lost in between the previous and present administration.

The citizens should remain brazen and resolute, also send a reminder to Buhari that if he doesn't act up fast,he may be expelled by the citizens on or before the expiration of his term.

Let the enemies of the country continue to set fire to each other's camp.
We await the next exposure of Tinubu's fraud.

In all, Bukola, Saraki, et al. I'll be glad to see them all rotting away in jail.

Looking like from a Chadian news broadcast.
Any chance to see the full video @ op.

This is from the scum soldiers of a supposed god aided by their religious scripture whose mission on earth reads like 'to kill, bang and die'

Abba Moro

What are they waiting for?

Kill it, kill it with fire!

Lol

Boko bastards blew up a mosque and so the Muslims decided to go burn churches?

Amazing, from the religion of peace.

BH is Islamic as IS is Islamic.
I also take you don't follow up closely on the Iraqi - Syrian front for you to say they don't murder during Ramadan. The goat shaggers are still at it till this morning ; blowing up fellow Muslims, mosques and so.

Chants of A... akbar' don't exactly sound political to me. It's the same chants used by boko bastards when they're carrying out their heinous crimes backed by their own interpretation of their religion.

Nothing concerns PDP here nor is it the fault of politics, it is the religion. Plain and simple!

When KOWA party never die?

These Generals long ceased to be 'soldiers'. Instead, they had long chosen to join those watching the country burn whilst also sucking it dry. Sitting behind a desk and plot where to cut the next icing of cake that comes their way is what they do.

I'll also let you all on a lil secret, how many of their wards are fighting in the North East? None! The same Generals would then approve for deployment of other people's kids with insufficient equipment, welfare and all. their own children who are also soldiers are instead then sent off abroad for courses which they when they arrive back are then slotted in to other less risky spots!

One of the worst regions in the country with uncommon levels of homicide is the North and areas that share boundaries with it.


Why do we have to endure weekly genocidal cattle rearing maniacs who think they and their herds still have the right of way as their forefathers once did?

Subtle and not so subtle shifts in promised policies. APC promised heaven and earth during the elections. If they fail, then they'll probably get deleted by the population before or on expiration of their 4 year term.

Partisanship is futile. No ideologies or so in Nigeria. Instead we manage to see individuals with little bit of same styles of leadership like previous governments. No wonder, not a lot of changes since 1999.

I see some diehard Apc followers suddenly changed the goalposts concerning amnesty. Posterity would judge their selective actions...

No negotiations with terrorists, those willing to surrender should face the full wrath for their actions, those that choose plea bargains can expect a bit less draconian conditions. As for the heads, financiers, et al, absolute decimation of their ranks, annihilation, Death or incarceration is only what should be reserved for those murderous bastards.

There are many layers to a man...than his phone, car. His property portfolio may be enough to feed an entire country for x days yet maintains a simple phone. When you run an operation,business or a manager for example, you'd rather choose a phone with reliability than a high end device with paltry battery life.Not always applicable though.

Beyond his phone, his home is probably rigged out with B&O sound systems, home automation, et al.
His car is probably an unarmoured model or an exotic kind with spec'ed up options.

So no, only silly females would rate you at the first sight of a phone.

IamSassy:
Hello nairalanders, pls, i just need you guyz to explain something to me.
I want the married people here(unmarried peoople included) to please tell me what it takes to be married. How to know that you are ready for marriage. And how marriage affects ones life (as a woman).
Thanx in advance.

Bit of counselling before marriage greatly helps I suppose.

The Judiciary is in the pocket of all these politicians.
I await the day there'll be a high profile conviction of a politician for fraud, money laundering related issues.

Yet, the judiciary just like the toothless EFCC, are always proud to show off by handing out incommensurate 5 years+ sentences to one small fry who has stolen a mobile phone.

Eziachi:
If you have actually listened to the so called radio. Why not list out the hate speech you are referring to? Or are you mindlessly jumping on the bandwagon?

?

Sir, correct me if I'm wrong, but calling out supporters to stone and disrupt a SW's pastor's buses and threatening to disrupt their assembly. Asking yoruba preachers stay clear of the SE.

Calling out non 'Biafrans' derogatory names; jihadists, killers, baboons, monkeys, etc. Go on and read their twitter handle.

These statements are divisive and inciting. Ethnic goading...

APC Osun state is a failure!

Aregbe Rascal should be impeached or resign. He clearly lacks the mettle to run a state.

As much as Wike is a thug and militant and it seems a witch hunt, a bulletproof RR is not one that Assistants can just pocket as a parting gift. That's close to Twenty -Thirty million naira vehicle.

If you'll all just be partisan or sentimental for once and read the message contained within.

All fine and dandy.

But I never hear much about going after local government Chairmen, or is it that it doesn't make the news?

Shameful and disgusting from all sides!
Is there a way Nigerians can depose this lot and install new NA members.

Fair enough, Igbos have the full rights to self determination if overwhelmingly disenfranchised with the state of the nation (everyone is)
It's the methods this guy is deploying to achieve that means, calling out for attacks and harassment is already an half step closer to terrorism. Let him just remember, that it'll only take an idiot to carry out his bid and then he'll get arrested and incarcerated in the UK for inciting violence.

There are many youths unemployed, disenfranchised and are easy to manipulate, it started that way in the north with Boko Bastards. It seems to be taking roots in the SE with the constant threats, hate speeches and all. It'll only take a day for the cup to boil over and that'll be it.

SirShymexx:
I get where you're coming from. I believe the rules of engagement for Spetnaz is about getting the job, regardless of how they do it, albeit that has changed a bit recently. Unlike the SAS for example, which is about being clinical, and emphasis is always on minimal casualties. Also, it depends on the mission and the level of difficulty/hazard encountered during the operation cos you can never plan for that. A classic example was the US SEALS and Black Hawk shot down in Somalia - with that you have to fight your way out and survive, and being clinical is the last thing on ya mind. Ditto the recent botched US SEALS operation in Somalia, where they all had to run for their lives. So ability to survive in the worst scenario, with unshaken/great endurance will always be paramount before anything else. And most special forces would rather die than be captured, and even when they're captured, they have to be able endure whatever punishments they're put through - to maintain that code of silence.

Do you remember the suicidal Operation Mikado/Plum Duff by the SAS during the Falklands war? Imagine if they had embarked on a mission as suicidal as that one - being clinical would've been the last thing of their minds.

Anyway, the new Spetnaz gear looks nice as well. SAS still remains the best. Then maybe the SEALS - the Germans/French aren't that bad. The Alpha Group in Spetnaz haven't been on enough missions to grade them yet. But their training is the craziest.

Now you get my point, all this boils down to how this 'extremes' fits into training. Some more useful than others while some are just plain useless. Eg flying over barbed wires and throwing an axe whilst upside down. It looks cool, but would also likely get them punctured full of bullet holes before they hit the ground.

After Black Hawk Somalia, the US probably went on to doctor their doctrine regarding when to be methodical vs fighting your way out of death. I know the recent flopped exercise but we can also count hundreds of others where the missions were kill or capture which they accomplished. The failed Somalia one saw at least no member captured or killed and they had to fight their way out of there after more Al Shabab reinforcements poured in. So maybe at least now, they've touched up with the 'maximum force aspect'. Not going to lie though, there's also a huge array of support via stealth, overwhelming firepower by way of AC 130s well above monitoring if shite hits the fan for the Americans and British. Though in how applicable their training regimes/doctrines are, Spetsnaz are lagging. Maybe in hand to hand combat, then heck no, I'll vouch for the Ruskies but it boils down to how much hand combat is usually applicable in today's world.

In all, I'm just implying some doctrines are more balanced than others. The Spetsnaz fair enough are not getting exposed to more different situations so may explain how their doctrines are honed based on available scenarios they are exposed to. The Americans and British are trying their hands at different environments, theaters.

SirShymexx:
I don't think the Iraq special forces fled from ISIS - there was a lot of sabotage involved, with all the Sunni commanders crossing to the other side. And you have the US sabotaging a lot of things there. Then again, those are regular forces - not special forces. Iraqi special forces are trained by Iranian Quds Force.

Also, this training is for endurance, not for doctrine/rules-of-engagement. When it comes to endurance, no one can outlast Spetnaz...and maybe SAS. And in engagement, it's not always about how clinical you're, it's about getting the job done.

Yeah, some of this are to prepare them mentally for the most extreme of conditions. Plans may go off course from time to time and may push soldiers into dire situations. Getting captured and tortured, forced to take extreme routes in order to accomplish a course of action etc.

When I allude to clinical, I'm referring to their records against hostage crises for example. Beslan school massacre. Though if comparing gears, Spetnaz may be outmached compared to maybe SEALS and SAS.
I'm just saying Spetznaz is mainly more brawn than tactics , not discrediting them but in the top tiers of SF, I won't place them on top of my list.
