Very unnecessary. The key thing is the victims are home. Whether they drugged the kidnappers or used juju on them or prayers or bitcoin is of little relevance. No need to divulge that information.

Anyone interested in knowing every detail should ask the victims or join the rescue operation

Well, the government owes the citizens accountability. One does not need to join rescue operation to know about how the government got them home. We read about different governments how they rescue their citizens from terrorists all the time.

We were all here when we read about how the American pilot was rescued behind enemy lines in an active war. No big deal for any member of the public to be interested in what the military/government is doing to keep them safe.

raumdeuter:
Difference when we have a real govt in power. Under Jonathan for 2 weeks the FG even did not believe that students were kidnapped and some people were claiming Chibok kidnap was a scam

His family deserves to know which I believe they might have given them the details, I don't know why the Public deserves to beyond he died in active combat service

Nothing has suggested we gave real government in power. The rate of kidnappings and insecurity in general under this administration trumps any agenda dubbed as "we have a real government in power". A real government in power would curtail the various secuirty challenges happening all over the country. A real government in power would make it impossible for terrorists to be sacking entire communities in the southwest that were once peaceful long before APC took power. There's actually nothing to be celebratory about security under this administration starting from the Buhari regime.

If the family of the deceased officer are aware of circumstances under which he fell in battle, then no wahala. I just hope they are not as confused as general members of the public were when we read the news report about the rescue with the timelines not matching.

I wish his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

raumdeuter:
There were obviously multiple rescue attempts made before one finally succeeded. Unfortunately the soldier died in one of the early failed attempts

So why is this so hard for them to say in plain terms instead of making it look like it was a made-up story at first glance? They made the whole thing subject to speculations.

raumdeuter:
People will vote the APC when they consider how useless the alternatives are

Goodluck to them with their gullibility then. They should keep rewarding a party that has failed over and over again, we will see where it will lead us.

Make nobody sha vex we dey remind them of their fooolish choice.

iamoyindamola:
It's possible because I read the kidnappers really Travel with the victims into the forest and in the north.

But then, anything goes in this country. It could be an attempt to put in the fallen soldier to milk the success of the extraction

Anything can happen Sha....but dem supposed explain how the soldier who was among the rescue operation died 6th June while the victims were officially rescued on 10th July.

In fact, the guy was buried 10th July ; the same day the victims were officially rescued/released.

If they paid ransom after a failed rescue attempt a month earlier they should just say it. Nobody would blame them for doing the needful to bring the Victims home. We all want the victims back home without further loss of lives.

izzou:
Till today, there's no report on how he died sef.

My Brother, we thank God for the release/rescue.

Make we leave am like that!

Yeah, the most important thing is the safe release/rescue of the victims. At least they didn't end up like those Chibok girls that ended up being remembered by Hashtags and everybody moved on from.

I just feel his family and to an extent the members of the public at least deserve to know the real circumstance surrounding his death since the government is claiming it had to with the rescue operations. At least let them get their stories straight and let the timelines match

There's something I don't understand from the rescue operations of the Oyo kidnap victims and sketchy details provided by the government on it.

The military officer that was mentioned as deceased in the course of the rescue operations has his date of demise as 6th June 2026 , while the victims were officially rescued on 10th July 2026. There's like over a month gap between the officer's date of death and the eventual rescue of the victims.

https://www.nairaland.com/8708622/lieutenant-felix-ademe-isaac-killed

Is it that there was a rescue attempt on 6th of June 2026 which failed resulting to the officer's death before another rescue operation was launched circa 10th July 2026?

iamoyindamola:
They suspended it because they are desperate, next year will be bloody if this evil party enter again

https://www.nairaland.com/8708550/fg-suspends-proposed-waec-neco

This is the second bill suspended because of election, that tax have been ignored but immediately they enter we will all suffer for it

Yeah, they suspended it most likely because of the election and will bring it back once they are done with re-election next year. Maybe the outcry that followed the announcement made them quickly back track on it .

That was how they increased LASU school fees from N25k to N250k that year under Fashola. People appealed to Fashola and even Tinubu but they insisted no going back for almost 2 years. Some indigent students lost their admission because they couldn't afford the fees , some parents enter gbese just pay year one and year two fees of their kids. When 2015 election was fast approaching and it was imminent that angry Lagosians were ready to vote for any opposition party to punish them, they reversed the school fees back to N25k.

It was after Ambode won the 2015 elections they now increased the school fees eventually but not up to the initial N250k people complained about. No be today dem dey play that card for APC ; dem don carry am go national level.

afrodoc:
He will never dive again in his life.

I like the way the officials have allowed physical contact in the flow of the game during this tournament. I am dreading the start of EPL and seeing Michael Oliver and his friends blow for a foul every single time someone’s jersey touches another player’s jersey.

I also enjoyed how the refs allow free flow of play and reminding us once again that football is a contact sport; not some lawn tennis wey u go dey serve give ur opponent from few meters away.

What I detest most is how EPL use VAR and still arrive at a wrong decision. This past season, it was almost every fortnight PGMOL comes out to issue apology for their yeye officiating.

I also hope the kind of technology in this world cup official ball will be available in EPL's so it will be easier judging offside and posit at what point a player makes contact with the ball.

afrodoc2:
I just saw that Embolo dive. How will any unbiased person defend the guy? The guy rolled so much i swear i saw him rolling past our street this morning. Only to find out it was a blatant dive. Such a dive is a yellow card any day. Well deserved.

As in how can anybody with working brain that knows the rule of football argue and defend Embolo? Even agenda supposed get limit.

The guy just turn himself to Fatai Rolling Dollar ..... A very well deserved yellow card any day any time especially after making the ref book the Argentine player with his theatrics. Yet some Wasiu fans wey don use head knack ground dey claim the game was rigged and that the ref was biased to have issued Embolo the yellow card.

iamoyindamola:
Saw it too
Let's wait for raumdeuter to do his thing

He will simply tell u that budget padding didn't start under Tinubu's administration.

Roland17:
I expect us to be without D. Rice when the new season starts. He is now dealing with a hamstring and it seems inevitable that he will miss a few games at the start of the season. The number of minutes he has played since last year is diabolical.

I want tí believe that is why they are pushing to sign Bruno Guimares without any talks about disposing Zubimendi. With Saka's fitness issue and Trossard's imminent departure I want to believe we should be signing both RW and LW the way things are going.

I've not really heard much about our RB prospects and it bothers me greatly. The pace we are moving in the market appears to be too slow with August almost here, we still don't have an idea of what our possible starting 11 will look like by now. Tho I trust Barta to do some smart and smooth business in the market, I just don't like how we are taking too much time to fill the necessary roles.

Ellexy:
Would have had the game of a lifetime yesterday in Argentina vs Portugal but one camel couldn't even beat Congo

Instead of beating DR Congo, na conspiracy theory their fans dey spin up and down after dem jam àgbákò and crash out of the tournament

CrystalTiger:
What's this devil doing with all the money that he's borrowing or supposed subsidy savings ffs?

The tiniest bit of kindness he can show ordinary citizens is making education at this level affordable na 🥺🥺🥺..

If there's a way this country or her citizens offended this Tinubu family, they should come out and say it..I don't understand this anti people policies at all..

They will tell u Nigeria is broke and that PDP has squandered all the money we made from oil boom during their 16 year rule. So APC's 11 years rule (and counting) is APC trying to "fix" Nigeria. 🤮🤮🤮

A wise man once said: " Buhari was a lesson ; Tinubu is the punishment for not learning a lesson "

A- All

P- Promises

C- Cancelled



Gullible people will still queue in the sun come 2027 general elections to vote "continuity" 🤡🤡🤡

izzou:
Strait of Hormuz blocked again.

Aliko Dangote, oya give us fresh increase!

Without much delay he go carry am go N1,3000 and when the strait open again he go take months to cut down paltry 75 naira on top fuel price

izzou:
Hmmmmm

The matter would be swept under the carpet, obviously.

Definitely what will happen. I guess the girl's parents already figured this out, that's why they decline autopsy to determine the cause of her death.

They probably think of what use will the autopsy be when they will slice her open, the real findings will most likely be manipulated by the police and medical personnel involved who will most likely be answerable to the powers that be

izzou:
I don't think Umahi was at home when it happened.

Maybe na one of him PAs organize the Medical outreach for the house

I think the Anita lady who is a colleague to the deceased will be in the best position to reveal the purpose of their mission at Umahi's residence Sha.

Unfortunately, I doubt she would reveal anything to the media and police authority because of the level of Umahi that is involved.

Las Las na the parents of the lady lose Sha

User09:
The only reason VAR intervened was cos Paredes was booked, otherwise, it would have been ignored and they would have stuck with the onfield decision. And the only reason Paredes was booked was Embolo kept rolling around disgracefully even after the blatant dive which forced the ref hands

Even at that the ref kept watching the replay at multiple angles, maybe to see a way out for Embolo I suspect, cos that replay only needed a sec to decide the verdict.

I actually like this new mistaken identity rule, anything that affects the integrity of the game and aims at misleading refs need to quickly be stamped out. That fool Embolo would actually have been ok with an underserved yellow for Paredes right, Despite being caught, he was acting like who got cheated. In this day and age of Video replays.

I have absolutely no pity for him.

You have sense and you know ball! Unlike others wey dey carry agenda watch ball and still blame officiating for doing the right thing, u called a spade what it ought to be called.

Embolo killed his team's chances off with the useless and needless theatrics that got him flying like Spiderman.

Emaprince:
Dey play.

England are good in winning argentina..check their most recent worldcup games

We are talking 2026 world cup; Yet are referring me to past word games.

Juts wait let Tukur lose guard maybe Argentina will not stroll past them especially with that agbana Pickford in goal.

I just hope if Argentina dump England out, Una no go complain say FIFA script am again.

AirBere:

Na wetin we dey wait for boss man. But what exactly was the thought process behind what Embolo did yesterday?

The more I watch the replay, the more I get confused as to what Embolo's motive when he resorted flying like Spiderman 🤷‍♂️.

BlueMann:
Scaloni should stop obsessing with Nico Gonzalez and try the other young blood on the bench

I also don't see anything special Nico Gonzalez offers on the pitch at all. The guy dey GBA anyhow.

Scaloni also needs to try somone else in that De Paul role ; the guy has just been rash and not doing well with placing passes

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
He dey do software update.

Engineer Prince Emma the software engineer

andrewbaba44:
😂😂

Hate watchers really see pepper for this World Cup

Better hot pepper na wetin dem seeand it's very interesting to see them crashing out 😂.

Omoluabi16:
I'm not defending embolo here. It was a blatant dive, and he deserved whatever he got. But you said something along the line of of football rules and I'm pointing out that nothing so special about these rules when there's no consistency in its application. Plenty room for complaints.

The thing is : If a ref mess up, it's expected that people call him out. But if a ref took the right decision in accordance with the rules of the game(like the ref did in the game between Argentina and Switzerland), u cannot blame him for the failings of another ref in a different game.

From here it sounds as if u are not pleased with the ref doing the right thing booking Embolo as he rightfully deserve.

Emaprince:
England vs france Definitely

Na after each Argentine game u dey update the name of the team u hope would knockout Argentina. So today now u Don move from to England

Emaprince:
Cape verde to score one and lock shop.

Argentina flight getting ready.

Omoluabi16:
I no dey hate watch anybody oo. But FIFA themselves have a made a caricature of their so called rules over the years. Rules wey them dey apply as e suit them.

Which one be Caricature? Did everyone not use their two eyes to watch the replay and see Embolo flying like Spiderman in the match?

Is there no IFAB rule that speaks about mistaken identity?

Would it have given you joy to see the Argentine player booked for an offence he didn't commit?

There's nothing wrong in having bias for a particular team, but refusing to understand a rule that is very clear because of bias.....e get as e be.

Below is a video of the ref overlooking a reckless challenge from a Swiss player which nobody is talking about. Na the correct call he make Una Wan dey fault with personal bias.

https://x.com/bouafifnour/status/2076169333508538826?s=46

I like Argentina team sha, dem dey use situations/incident in their match to teach hate watchers the rules of the game dem no gree learn for public.

BlueMann:
Argentina won in 22 cos Scaloni had the balls to make big changes. He's gonna have to rediscover those balls cos this narrow midfield four is not working

I'm also trusting he will come up with something that works in the next two matches ; he needs to tinker that midfield to forever write his name and legacy in gold.

andrewbaba44:
Make day break fully well

The people from the other side of the world will come and tell us how the red card was an ojoro

As in..... both the ones wey no watch the match and the ones wey watch highlight go begin wax different conspiracy theory about how FIFA helped Argentina.

Argentina makes it to semi final

Lautaro makes it 3-1 off a counter that was powered by Almada 🤗

Good night baba Ara!
