@ Ibime what does this translate to in layman’s terms ?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Maybe dem get online sessions for the training na

That one sef dey

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Okay

We anticipate, then.

Elrufai wasn't screened again, right?[/color]

Elrufai dey Beirut , he dey chill

Emaprince:
I like that woman too. She looks too calm and well composed.

She must be a very beautiful woman in her twenties.

She just has this endearing personality even though I don't know her before this tournament

larride:
It was a chopper on mission that crashed. The bandits must likely saw the chopper go down and run to the crash sites so that they can quickly claim victory for the crash and do their normal propaganda level.

That's another angle. Probably the bandits are also engaging in information warfare as well

Noodles and fried chicken wings

iamoyindamola:
Make mediema and mead recover join russio for our attack
Blaststenis will enter for second half

I like this England coach sha, I don’t know why

raumdeuter:
The were likely flying low and in that case once bullet hit the pilot, e don be be that

Omo! But those bandits too must have been suicidal to have faced a military chopper with AK-47 o

Except naija military chopper different from the ones we see in movies that rain hellfire on terrorists

iamoyindamola:
Oh..
I no believe niyen, our chopper should be bullet proof na

Bullet proof operational Airforce chopper ? I never hear of that one before o

Australia don ja!

3-1 advantage England

iamoyindamola:
You mean RPG can't take down chopper that's high?
If they get their navigation right mortar can take it down too

In the video the bandits spoke in hausa claiming they took it down with AK-47, not RPG

Roland17:
This is what happens when a President, the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces makes a weak statement after the killing of his soldiers. Right now, the bandits feel more empowered and must be reeling with high morale after the statement of the President was interpreted to them.

But the Helo must have been flying really low for the bandits to have been able to take it down with AK-47

A40:
Bazoum is from a minority tribe. His people are less than 2% of the country btw. For those claiming Niger is 'diverse' that's actually cap

I don even tire for the matter sef. Make dem sha find way to resolve the matter without any unnecessary military action that will leave everybody involved poorer and people’s children fatherless .

It’s painful already losing gallant officers to our own internal crises

Izzou this is the content u are looking for

GloriousGbola:
It is a pattern. If decisive action had been taken to thwart the first coup, it would have ended there. But the coup was allowed to stand and now we are literally back to the 70s/80s.

Without a doubt some military generals are thinking to themselves - these guys all did it, so I should also be able to do it. No one even said anything.

The whole end sars looting started the same way. One warehouse. Then another. And then a flood as people realized there was nothing to stop them.

This is the way these things go everywhere.

It will become a pattern because African leaders want to continue to practice the nonsense civil rule we have and call democracy and then expect people to continue to take their shiiit.

The ENDSARS u mentioned, for years SARS officials were running gestapo operations in which they kidnap young adults, extort them and sometimes kill them in the process. We know how Kolade lost his life , we know how Remo stars assistant captain Tiyamiyu Kazeem lost his life in the hands of these dare devil SARS officials....We know how people cried and complained for years that these SARS officials have outlived their usefulness , but what did the government do? Nothing!

Until the ENDSARS thing turn a thing and suddenly we all want to blame the protesters who started the protests as those responsible for the carnage witnessed in the aftermath of the protests.

If government will not sit up to its responsibility of protecting lives , properties and safety of its citizens, I'm afraid a pattern will be formed and there's little or nothing the West and their agenda in Africa will be able to do about it

PS: this is not a post in support of coups, forceful takeover of government or total call against democracy in Africa, but a post to let people know that there's a limit to injustice people can take before they resort to self help and even call for total chaos since the relative peace is not benefitting them

izzou:
[color=royalblue]What do you advise President Tinubu to do, as he also serves as the President of ECOWAS?

I don't think you have answered that.[/color]

Why should I be the one to advise him? What has he done with the advise of people like Prof. Usman Yusuf and other people more knowledgeable than I am on this issue?

If he needs advise, he should listen to them and stop being goaded by Blinken and any other person that has been calling him from America

GloriousGbola:
So ultimately all the coupists have achieved is introduction of instability to the region.

Niger has always been unstable politically. Bazoum's emergence as president was the first peaceful transition of power in the country that is 63 years old this year.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If it is a fantasy, what do we do?

Sanctions have been imposed, and you can see how the country is struggling to breathe. You highlighted that we have over 100 unmanned borders with Niger. I can assume that those places are starting to get flooded with refugees, yet no war has even started

If Junta rules, a civil war must break out. Bazoum is also from a tribe too, and i heard Niger is just like Nigeria; Very diverse.

So, if removing junta is an amusing fantasy, which option wouldn't be?[/color]

What did countries bordering Mali and Burkina Faso do when the coupists strike in the respective countries? Why do we have to make it a point of duty that we must interfere in their internal crisis as a sovereign nation?

What people people calling for military action should consider first is the bold part of ur post. When countries have diverse ethnic groups like Niger internal crises will always happen like we have in Nigeria. People will always shout of marginalization and different pain points will always be aired. Nigeria has Fulani herdsmen, IPOB/UGM, Bandits, etc all doing their things.

Their internal crises is not our fight, not at this time we have paucity of funds and we have our own internal crises to contend with. France and America whose interests will be well served are not taking a front row , its foolhardiness for us to.

This is my own personal opinion on this matter.

GloriousGbola:
You will have noticed from the news the junta are now saying different things eg they are open to dialogue.

If the junta is not exited, the country will almost certainly face civil war. Tuaregs have already fought against the govt from 1991 to 1997.

The junta will be facing multiple fronts - military threat from ECOWAS, threat from Tuaregs, threat from islamist terroists, international sanctions. There is no way something will not give. Especially as niger is not a rich country to begin with.

Civil war will also happen if the junta is exited forcefully and not by dialogue like they did with Burkina Faso Coupists who promised to exit 2024.

At least it is widely known that the majority hausa ethnic group seized power in Niger . ECOWAS thinking they will round up the coupists , reinstall Bazoum , leave the country in safe hands and the people of Niger will live happily ever after is one big amusing fantasy honestly .

GloriousGbola:
Fighting with bandits in the bush is not the same as marching into a city.

Boko haram and bandits cannot face the Nigerian army on a proper battlefield. What they are doing is called assymetric warfare.

In the case of Niger, if it comes to that - it is a simple objective. Enter the capital, take out the junta and restore the president. It is not a war. And it is unlikely to become one. Niger does not have a large army. And in spite of all the published propaganda, as a multiethnic state, the junta does not have the support of the whole country

As it is, their actions may have actually rolled back victories against terrorists as they have redeployed military units to guard cities.

The junta may have successfully eroded any successes against islamist militants

As for David Hundeyin, I have not seen the video but everything I have read makes him sound like a useful idiot giving boko haram free propaganda. Boko haram is powerful and unstoppable and you people should just roll over for them.

So u believe the bold will happen and live goes back to normal in Niger ?

It's the way u say "It is a simple objective" for me. I am willing to bet that the country called Niger will be engulfed in civil war in the aftermath of whatever military intervention happens there.

Off the top of ur head, how many president do u know that have returned back to power after a military coup like this in africa and life continued as normal?

In my own opinion, the ECOWAS position of returning Bazoum to power is unrealistic at all. Na Train wey don move dem dey try board(Oko to ti lo ni won sewo si)

Itsrm:
Exactly. David has nothing to lose.

Those with hundreds of millions of Naira in
investments will not throw it away.

As in…. It’s just like asking that AriseTv owner to go full anti-government . He will lose his investments in AriseTv and ThisDay newspapers in the blink of an eye. Those guys have hundreds of mouths to feed.

Emaprince:
Lawd!!

I just dey see the video. Mehhn, these terrorists are very well armed. Look at what the have on their hands. These people are well sponsored by politicians of this country. I remember when buhari said they have names of the sponsors. What did he do with it? Everything was swept under the carpet. This is why Nigeria may never get well again..cos every system is heavily compromised. I have listened to a voice note of a soldier fighting terrorist, complaining bitterly that their agenda is being compromised. I actually know a young guy in the lagos that joined the Nigerian army fews ago...and he was killed this year.

Read David said that Nigerian media houses has 10x the infos at his disposal but they will never release it cos they are heavily compromised as well.

I don’t agree with David on the bold. He’s making a huge accusation he can’t back up with evidence .

The media in Nigeria is regulated , they are bound by some laws and ethics unlike David . They can’t just make bold and be relying on videos posted by terrorists, they can only rely on official government’s account of the story .

It’s good we have people like David and other independents who can be checking the veracity of government’s account of these things , but we can’t accuse the media of cover-up when we don’t know if they actually have the information or May run into trouble for posting unverifiable evidences

Lush100:
Chelsea buy canceido; chelsea buy lavia,
Chelsea buy Olise from Crystal palace.

Dem go soon buy all the midfielder

They need it, their midfield has been in shambles for like 2 seasons .

Thank God we have our own midfiled too sorted out before now

Before we wake the god of football don score again 🙇‍♂️

Segedinho:
Evidence or scripted
Oh boy

The myriad of informations within David's reach is alarming

https://twitter.com/DavidHundeyin/status/1691574160869195923

Omo!

At this point , Anybody still thinking Nigerian troops in company of ECOWAS troops will walk briskly into Niger, carry out military action and come back within a week or two with Bazoum reinstated as president is living in a fantasy world .

We had better face these bandits and terrorists in our own country first before carrying out any misadventure that can lead to further loss of lives of our gallant officers .

May the soul of the departed rest in peace and May God comfort their families . I can’t even imagine the anguish their families will be going through now. Some of the dreams of these deceased officers’ children will be cut short. Some of their children will be unable to further their education cos the compensation system in place is not really much to write home about.

liveLongNprospa:
It doesn't change what it is.
Right now nnpc accesses dollars for importation lower than what others do. That's one form of subsidy already but make we nor talk about am yet.

The man will cowardly reverse somethings 😁

I don’t think he’s a coward sha cos that would be the right thing to do; rather I would prefer to refer to him as being fooolish to have acted first before making plans

liveLongNprospa:
If nnpc maintains pump price, doesn't that mean that subsidy payment has returned?
Because it will be an economic miracle 😁

They will find a fancy name to give it.

Itsrm:
Well, whoever wants to school abroad should pay for it.

Whether it's politicians enjoying it or the middle class, the whole idea of Form A has never made sense to me.

Ideally it doesn't make sense, but in a country where government makes foreign currency available to both Christian and Muslim pilgrims at subsidized rates, u can't fault those interested in foreign degrees for trying.

Itsrm:
I no even too get pity for those ones. They were part of the problem.

You know what they used to do? When it's time to pay school fees of say 2k pounds, they send it to Nigeria at like 900 to a naira, collect 1.8m, apply for form A through the banks to pay the fees at 550 to a naira which comes to about 1.1m naira, they keep the remaning 700k. So for every 2k pound they need to pay, the actual money they need is like 1.2k pounds. Now they have to cough out the entire 2k pounds.

That's why they are all crying.

Do u blame them for trying to enjoy what our elites enjoyed for years?

I watched one Kemi Olunloyo's video recently and she talked about the live they lived while schooling in the UK back in the days. She talked about how Bukola Saraki was dating Toyin Ojora and when they fought how Toyin's mum Ojuolape Ojora had to fly to the UK to settle their quarrel. These were teenagers whose parents were accessing pounds through the form A u described above to pay their fees. Dem Fani Kayode, Bianca Ojukwu, Kemi Olunloyo and other children of the elites then. These people don dey spend naija money since they were teenagers

Na when middle class begin emulate dem to enjoy some of those privileges dem block am.

Itsrm:
I said it before that except you're stealing money, everyone is feeling the heat

So Shell Petroleum workers have gone on strike over the fuel subsidy issues and the general economic issues.

1. The fall of the Naira has affected most of the workers that have kids in schools abroad. They can't pay for school fees

2. The fuel subsidy has increased the cost of… pic.twitter.com/ygqFs2iWGH

Thank God the old man is finally coming back to his senses

Someone I know who paid the final part of his daughter's M.Sc school fees in the UK shortly after the subsidy removal & floating of naira; the daughter had to call him specially and started raining prayers on his head. She told him that some of her school mates who did self-sponsored japa are stuck and are contemplating dropping out of their programmes.

The thing really affect people gan o

mostob:
Arteta should just help us manage Saka abeg..

Omo, I don't just want to imagine Arsenal with Saka injured

I don't expect to see him in FA or Carling cup until maybe quarter or semi final this season, if not I go cuss Arteta o.

Roland17:
The thing wen off me na the 3rd video on that page. The driver no even wait.. As fight start between the soldier and LASTMA guy, danfo driver just continue to drive like say nothing happen
