I agree it could’ve been a burglary incident possibly with inside information. This says a lot about the security of the area though. Imagine if they weren’t burglars and went to cause mayhem
Many will tell you Aso Rock is a den of thieves already. You can not have security if you are dishonest.

Does “armed robbery” mean armed with gun? Do all robbers arm themselves with guns? Did the previous story state that they were armed with guns?
No, armed robbery does not mean armed with guns. An armed robber can be armed with a knife or cutlass or a stick. Fact is these were thieves attempting a burglary and not armed robbers!

So you think this government is telling the truth?
I have not based my opinion on "this government", but on Peoples Gazette who have obviously reported untruths.

That said, governments lie. So it will be naive to think our own Nigerian government will always tell the truth.

OK... Read the latest before u reply me sha
See below how it is now being described as a burglary by one single thief. Meanwhile, people have it in their heads that arm robbers stormed Aso Rock!

“The police, in a related development is searching for a suspected burglar who unsuccessfully attempted to break into the house of Maikano Abdullahi on Thursday, last week,” Mr Shehu said on Twitter.
See also how a supposed armed attack that did happen was not on Aso Rock!

The Presidency on Monday confirmed reports that a gang of armed robbers reportedly attacked the residences of Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, and that of Administrative Officer, Abubakar Maikano, on a street around the Villa gate, Abuja.

Everything you've written in your second paragraph are mere conjectures. I'll call it crap.

The summary of the OP is that there is insecurity in the foremost seat of government in this country. Whether or not they were armed is inconsequential, and you have absolutely no credible intel to posit they weren't armed.

Your darling daddy brought in terrorists, hoodlums, armed robbers and burglars into Aso rock. It's a shame.
Perhaps learn to monitor your own conjecture before mine.

The above is the flaw in your argument.

We are not all ordinary and we are not all reasonable and we are definitely not all the same.

If I were to assume the above about you, that you are an "ordinary reasonable man (which you might likely be), and that "we are all the same" instead of recognising your uniqueness, I would never bother to try to understand and comprehend the uniqueness in how you express yourself and the uniqueness of the meaning of your expressions, and will constantly be accusing you of lying or being wrong because you are not the same as me. You will then be my enemy and I will be unable to love you by at least assuming you will be honest and by therefore giving you the benefit of doubt that you will not intentionally lie to me.

Please confirm that you are aware that you are unique, in your thinking, at least.

You use "decode" as I would say "make up crap in your head and believe it is true". buda is immune from such ignorance in reasoning.

There may have been a robbery but it could not possibly have been armed considering the security in place at Aso Rock. The residents of Aso Rock are just not bold enough to not have a whole battalion plus some guarding them, and an armed robbery would need to be in the form of a war or the robbers would need to be mad people to attempt such stupidity.

Thank God No Atheist made "Solid Rocks" so therefore, it can not be their own.

It belongs to Another!
"Belongs to God", regardless of the thinking or belief a mere human creates in one's head.

That's why Jesus can ask you to emulate a pagan nonGod worshipping nor believing Samaritan instead of a God believing Levite ir Priest.

You can believe what you want to believe and ignore the truth if you want to. I can only tell you my own experience. Take it or leave it as you may.

For your information, I have had situations I had no handle on that you can only imagine in your wildest dreams. I did not pray as an atheist then because I knew there was no God, and I do not pray now because the Lord is my Shepherd who provides me with everything I need. But perhaps such faith is beyond the compression of some.

When I was an atheist I never called on a higher authority since it would be absurd to be calling on a higher authority I knew did not exist.

Now as a theist, I still do not pray because God is supposed to know what I require long before I was born, and why should I worry about tomorrow when I am supposedly more important than the birds and the bees?

What I do do is meditate, as in listen quietly, and then whatever I would have been praying for comes as a silent voice to inform me how to make what I would pray for come to pass.

The current suspect is the BMC because they know the terrain of that place better than ordinary Nigerians. We learnt that they have not been paid for a while now due to the empty account of the FG. FG is in deep financial crises at the moment that it is considering merging some ministries together. It reminds me of Buhari who during their CHANGE campaign, said there wont be any thing like the office of the first lady. He failed. But why not scrap that office now that there is no money?
So, staff robbed the place at best, and they report arm robbers?

We shall soon find out how the Peoples Gazette live up to the following:

In an era of fake news and overcrowded media marketplace, the journalists at Peoples Gazette aim to provide quality and practical information to help our readers stay ahead and better understand events around them. We focus on being the balanced source of true, stimulating and independent journalism.

Culture › Re: Exposed Origin Of Oduduwa by budaatum: 7:23pm On May 10, 2021
Many are not aware of the conflict in Yorubaland between Obatalans and Oduduwans. I guess that's because it's no more a big deal because many are not aware of their history, and even miss the symbolism when it is right before their eyes.

Go and learn about Obatala. Some of us are. Ọmọ Alade Sẹsẹ Funfun. You might notice us in your home village, if you still have one in your home village that is, wearing white to the shrine the day before market to ensure market sells. You'd also see us when your king is crowned.

TAO11:
We must be willing to pay close attention to what our fathers mean when they say Oduduwa is our father.

First of all Oduduwa has parents, he also in the context of a time and space with his contemporaries around the 11th century — just 11th century here.

Secondly, what is meant when our elders regard him as our father is NOT that that he gave rise to his own parents, ancestors, wives, contemporaries, and every single Yoruba living today. Our elders obviously didn’t mean that. That’s obvious enough at this point.

What our elders mean then by regarding hims as our father is that he played an extremely pivotal & significant role which completely transforming Ife and (by extension) Yoruba civilization in the most significant era of our history, viz. the late 10th century / early 11th century.

And because Obatala (a contemporary of Oduduwa) also played the same role (but to a lesser degree) around the same period, he also was elevated by the Yoruba people to that lofty status of father.

This use of the word is not in the sense that Obatala and Oduduwa gave rise to all Yorubas alive today. Of course the other people of their time we’re not impotent. They all have their descendants as well.

Cheers!
Culture › Re: Exposed Origin Of Oduduwa by budaatum: 6:53pm On May 10, 2021
What amuses me is this assumption that all Yorubas originated from Oduduwa, when some hold on to Obatala as their origin.

Pity we do not teach history in our Nigerian schools I suppose, but intelligent individuals can still bother to educate themselves.

By the way, does anyone know what we named the people of the bush?

This is what I have for you..
Ouroboros as a name might be Greek as what you posted states, but it actually originated in Egypt you will find, and if you studied it in depth, you'd find it relates to rebirth, and eventually to evolution. And if you stop assuming you know it all you will learn how it also connects to being born again which you do by dying first then being reborn.

As I said, don't die please or you will become mere worm food then dust.

You are obviously not very familiar with the Yoruba language nor with how to discuss without the insults, neither of which I can begin to educate you in I'm afraid. Thankfully, see how others are educating you.
