Remember my point about the military rules of engagement when it comes to ND
This same man echoes it. Where I disagree is him saying it should be applicable to all regions.
For me that should be stopped.
He's a retired Lt Commander

There's no need to give this matter any ethnic coloration. Ruben Abati on that same Arise TV condemned giving the Delta incident ethnic coloration .

He mentioned the Odi incident of 1999 in Bayelsa and Zaki Biam incident of 2001 in Benue state which is technically the north .

I think what we should be advocating is for justice to be served . Let the militants who killed the soldiers be arrested and the military not repeat Odi massacre and Zaki Biam massacre which were both reprisal attacks by the military against communities where their officers were killed .

Everything wey Arteta and him crew don do deserve praise.
I know some people might say "oh Arteta have spent money on this team, so what's there" but if anyone notices the trenches were we came from to where we are now, omorr, you'll know that all facets of the game have been genuinely improved and that's something that needs more than money to achieve.

Our players are strong and Fast(we're not easily bullied again)

We play beautiful football

We play dominating football

We're threat at set pieces (both for and against) and we can score all manner and type of goals.

Our fans in the stadium is one of the loudest

We rarely make mistakes

And lastly, we can stand up to any team and have a chance (I mean before we know how our hearts go dey beat once we want to face any strong team)

I know the only thing missing is that big trophies and I believe we'll surely get them but I'm always in awe of how Arteta and his crew have transformed this team. And I believe we're not even at our peak yet.
The bold is the koko, na wetin dey burst my head pass be that.

One Just need to look at Chelsea and Man Utd despite spending serious money on new signings over the years; look at the jokers they parade as players. grin

But Arteta has really tried for that our backline o. I saw a clip recently where they showed clips from different matches where Mustafi was getting dribbled and causing penalty vs zaha, where musatfi was losing an aerial duel vs Aguero that led to goal, where mustafi played backpass that led to goal, David Luiz doing calamity leading to goal, Mitland-Niles losing the ball foolishly ; etc.

The errors were just so much. The funny thing is the video compilation didn't even span more than 3 seasons sef. It was just the later part if Good ebening's time at Arsenal and beginning of Arteta's tenure. embarassed

We supposed give Arteta his flower for ridding the club of those deadweights and actually getting real players that can actually play football.If one looks back, one would see that we were actually on ground zero prior to this period.

If Arteta leaves today, whoever will take over from him certainly has his job cut out for him.

I would be surprised if he does that.
As for the FG putting a stop to that, well that won't happen.
Infact it's not even on the table considering the way Tinubu has given the soldiers go ahead according to reports from people like festus Keyamo (who is a deltan and is supposed to use his voice to call for a more intelligent approach)
The whole thing just get as e be.

That PIDOMNIGERIA account on twitter is claiming an Ijaw community in Bayelsa was attacked on 17th March 2024 as a reprisal for the attack on soldiers in Delta state.

Wetin dey happen gan gan? Did they trace the attackers to Bayelsa ni or what?

Bruuuh.

Drtv has covered what happened

https://twitter.com/Urchilla01/status/1769724500193542423?t=US8pFiUViicVviQqifbylw&s=19[/quote]From the DRTV news report I think the major issue Nigerian government needs to put an end to is the unreasonable practise of military men doing civil police work. In an ideal society, if two communities have issues it is the job of the police to maintain law and order; not members of the military.

It's actually policemen that ought to have gone for the "peace talk" and possibly invite the community leaders for further questioning. I'm sure the community members perceive they may not see their leaders for a long time if they allow them to be taken away by the militray; hence they resisted their arrest.

That being said, the tweet that accompany that DRTV video makes absolute no sense to me. So the poster is claiming military men were not killed simply because the army has not listed all the names of 16 officers killed ? Which dumb reasoning is that? So the army will embarrass itself by claiming it's senior officers were killed by community members when it never happened?

The members of the community who spoke in the video may be telling their story from the little they know claiming they didn't attack the soldiers while in the community, but they can't speak for their fellow community members who are militants who may have ambushed the soldiers after the initial face-off

If I were to be the Delta state Governor, I will be on the next flight to Abuja to meet the president and beg him to ask the soldiers halt on any offensive in that area for now. Beg the president to allow an independent panel of inquiry be set up so the military and members of the community can all come forward, tell their respective side of the story; so as to get a fair idea of what exactly happened. It appears there are many sides to the whole story.

After releasing one weak ass statement, them go fold hand.
So from the little I can gather from these letters/petition, that Patrick guy and his group are the ones responsible for the attack on the the soldiers right?

More like the soldiers were going there to mediate over the issue between the Patrick guy's community and the other community right?

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 8:02am On Mar 18, 2024
I think the government of Delta state has a part to play in restoring peace to that community. The governor needs to visit the area and also speak to the army authorities to get their assurance that no extra judicial killings should be carried out by their officers.

The governor needs to summon the traditional leaders of the communities and discuss possibility of identifying the perpetrators of the killings.

Without anybody of authority like the governor stepping in, I'm afraid those military guys will harm a lot of innocent people

This is the were it matter most...condemn d act even b4 it start.....

You can advice the people to take d best decision of leaving while condemning any intention of leveling the community to bare
Baba these people killed Fela's mum cos he spoke against the military government and nothing happened to them .

The common man like me and u ; the only thing we can do is not to get on their wrong side . These people no get joy . They kill for a living and the politicians backing the will always have a reason to justify their killings .

We all watched the live video of what happened at lekki toll gate on October 20 2020; yet the politicians and their supporters still found a way to absolve the military of any blame in the lekki massacre incident .

I am saying the people consistently saying the community should fear and run away and giving the soldiers further justification for their actions.

Army nor plenty pass citizens.
Have you been to a place where army has razed before?
Yes I am getting emotional because we sef join part of wetin dey cause this foolishness by the Nigerian army.


If which till now nobody knows what truly transpired that led to the death of the soldiers.

Anyways e Don pass, them Don attack the community already.
If u were a resident of that community and innocent , would u rather stay instead of running away ?

I am against the people on social media asking the army to burn down the whole place , but I support those advising people to leave the area .

Nigerian army no get joy . If their commander tell them to raze downs village, they will do just that . There are times in V.I that u will see them doing their endurance trek and they will block the road , I will be foolish to come down from my car and start speaking English for them to leave the road cos I'm running late for work .

Let the military carryout investigation and find out who did it.
Could be militants or a group of criminals.

My own is simple, the village doesn't have to be attacked to prove a point.
Arrest the actual individuals who committed the crime and keep it moving.
All this talk about destroying the village or they should run away is just giving the army legitimacy to murder innocent citizens.
What happened in Odi was evil and that should not be allowed to happen again.

LET THE ARMY CARRYOUT INVESTIGATIONS AND GO AFTER THE INDIVIDUALS THAT KILLED THEIR PERSONNEL. THE VILLAGE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DESTROYED.

What you are calling apple and oranges is a comparison of reaction by the army in two different regions.
Outside warzones in the north of which the same army hasn't razed down these communities that house terrorists (except during actual battle). How many times have you read that the NAF has destroyed the village that their soldiers were ambushed in Northern States?
U are just getting emotional about an issue that is not even political .

Nigerian army is a military that operates with so much impunity ; it didn't start today. They may make press release online about carrying out investigations but we all know how they will react in physical . Nigerian army don't need any legitimacy to carry out any murder ; this is something they've been doing since the 60's .

U need to do more of reading Nigeria's history . Soldiers were used to quell western region crisis and middle belt crisis in the 60's . That was the moment soldiers started getting involved in civil matters .

This doesn't even have anything to do with northern vs Southern politics . I've been in the north before and I know how northerners fear soldiers . People saying the community people should relocate know what they are saying because they know how vicious officers of the Nigerian army can be in matters like this .

I'm in no way in support of the soldiers conduct, but mehn those communities just brought war to their doorstep

Buy an airtel modem. They are selling them with sim at market square for like 10k. If you are a new subscriber, your first five or so subs get 100% bonus. I am using airtel wifi to post this right now.

It is stable

Mtn is currently too flaky to be relied on for an online business meeting. Unless your employers will give some leeway to everyone based on current situation.

Also I am fairly certain whichever phone you use supports dual sim even if na e sim. So just do what you should have done and get a second line. Mtn is great but if you travel the length and breath of Nigeria, in some placed it will fail you at a critical juncture

In 2005 I was in oshodi with a laptop and some police cornered me. Took me to station. No network. The saving grace was my brother was with me and he had a starcomms line.

In 2013 I was in an accident at ore. Three lines mtn,glo and Etisalat. I had the accident in a zone where only Etisalat had network. Car was fked, it was 5.30 pm, in ore.

You need a second line.
I used to have a second line , but I just got tired of using two lines . I have an airtel sim in a Zte Modem, but I can't remember the password of the Zte Modem again so connecting it to laptop is quite difficult.

Maybe I will just buy an airtel modem las las .

When soldiers are killed in the north, its bandits that did it and so therefore they can't reply with leveling the community.
But when it comes to SS, it's the community people abi?
Suddenly we can't easily ascribe the crime to militants or criminals and next thing is that people should leave because the soldiers only way is to level the whole community 😁.

Make we continue😮‍💨
I don't understand u.

From all accounts of this particular incident, it was stated that two communities were having a communal clash; soldiers were deployed there for peace keeping and the soldiers were ambushed & killed .

How is this the same thing with soldiers fighting armed terrorists/bandits in the north getting killed in the line of duty?

Are u suggesting that when soldiers get killed while fighting bandits/terrorists the soldiers should level the village they were protecting ?

See I do not support the soldiers going on a revenge mission killing both the innocent and the guilty in an extra-Judicial manner , but we really do not need to be comparing apples and oranges here .

What those community youth did is similar to what Hamas terrorists did against Israel. It's more like trouble dey sleep yanga go wake am

One thing about the north is they may not respect policemen, but they don't 4ck with soldiers . I experienced this first hand . They respect soldiers and don't throw caution to the wind when dealing with Nigerian army
