How do you know what the troups are using? are you there with them.

How many times have the troops ever bombed anywhere in the south like they do frequently in the north?

I have seen videos of Nigerian soldiers in combat and heard from news. They always use planes to bomb locations not artillery. Nigerian army doesn't have drones that is why they can easily be ambushed.

I'm not saying the troops aren't trying. I'm saying the politicians are playing with the lives of our army. When evil happens in the north, the government tries to silence it. A general was killed in the north and there was no aggressive response. When it happened in the south, it was the talk of the day for weeks with the army swearing they will deal with them.

They can't bomb the south because there are no southern terrorists. Is it cult members or is it the IPOB/esn that are fighting for self determination. Buhari administration told Nigerians that Boko Haram has been destroyed yet here they are. Buhari administration called IPOB terrorist group yet no other country supported the claim. So who does the army want to bomb in the south.

loffyloffy:
Thanks for your question

For perspective, let me also ask you a question..How many years have Isreal been fighting Hamas? How come they have still not defeated them?

The US was in Afghanistan for how many years? Who is in charge of Afghanistan today? Is it not the same Taliban that the Us with all their money,equiment and personal fought for so many years.

This govt have killed more Boko haram, Bandit, islamic extremist etc than the people the terorist have killed.

Tinubu in particular have killed many of their commanders, and many civilians have also died in the North as colatoral damage, yet you people will always believe only SE are being victimised.

Even at the highest point of ipob and esn activities in the east, there is no single time the govt ever bombed them, whereas the northerners are bombed almost every month.

Guierila warfare is difficult to win, espescialy when it is tied to religion..go aak the US and Isreal.

There are two reasons why Hamas still exist. The first is because the people of Gaza support hamas so to destroy Hamas, Israel will need to almost kill all in Gaza and the second reason is due to public pressure from other countries.

The Taliban got support from Pakistan by allowing them inside their borders. Besides the main goal of the US was to kill Osama after the 9/11 incident and they Left after 10 years. The Afghan government also stopped fighting even with all the equipment the US gave them that is why the Taliban just walked to the capital.

The idea of our army killing more terrorists than the terrorist killing Nigerians is extremely difficult to prove with the restricted journalism and lies from the army. The politicians are using our soldiers lives to play politics. Look at what happened in the south when some boys killed seven soldiers. The army sieged the community. When our general was killed in the north, where was the retaliation or the siege.

Tinubu decided to pump money into super highway rather than provide equipment for our troops. I have not seen our troops use artillery, a lot of them don't combat kits and drones could have helped the army but no the politicians are busy eating the money.

If the government want to seriously tackle the terrorism, then they cant be using kid gloves for one terrorist group and smite the other. A general was saying if boko haram surrender, they can even be president of Nigeria. Imagine the nonsense coming out of a general's mouth.

thesicilian:
So he just said violent things and didn't order those killings? Keep deceiving yourself.

Do you have proof that he ordered the killings because even the government doesn't have it. There was a period during buhari presidency where any crime that happens in the south east, they will say IPOB. So what you are saying that he ordered killings can you prove it.

loffyloffy:
One quick question can you tell me the name of the Iswap leader?

If I show you his pictures right now, can you recognise him?

Comparing him to Kanu is childish.

Kanu contol the mind of millions, yourself inclusive, if he ask to go and kill your mother now, yoy will probably do it.

So clearly he is more visible and have a greater impact, though he didnt personaly kill anyone like the Iswap leader.

Also the Iswap leader got good lawyers to defend him and corporate with the court. Kanu did known of this, and he is just lucky to escape with his life.

Must I recognize the Iswap leader? So because Kanu is popular means something?.

Of course I can't compare an Iswap leader who has killed people to a man that didn't. Kanu can be jailed but it should never be life or execution. Iswap is an international terrorist group will IPOB was designated by Buhari as a terrorist group. If speech deserves life in prison or execution, then a lot of people in nairaland land are terrorists since they instigate violence.

Having a good lawyer means nothing. We have seen them reintegrate the terrorists so it has nothing to do the lawyer of the Iswap leader. It's simply injustice.

Let me ask you. Since the time boko and Iswap has been attacking Nigeria, why is it that DSS hasn't discovered those sponsoring them?

Igbos complained and the northerners said igbos are the problem.

Igbos said don't vote Tinubu and northerners said igbos will never be president.

Nnamdi Kanu warned about this things yet the northerners celebrated his arrest.

Igbos cursed at buhari yet northerners gave him a hero's welcome.

Igbos decided to stop complaining and watch now the northerners are having the best time of their life.

thesicilian:
You don't need to bring more cases bro, I'm not oblivious of the goings on in the country. The northerners are being shielded and protected by the elite who are probably sponsoring them, and until we get someone with balls to take over the fight against terrorism in this country, it will remain so.

But I'm saying is, nnamdi kanu deserves his judgement fair and square. The selective justice (which is still justice anyway) that happened to him could have happened to any other southerner, be it Ijaw, Edo, Yoruba, Idoko, Kogi etc. It's not about being Igbo as you people always make it seem to be. This is not about Igbo marginalisation. You can't cry about victimisation when you're guilty of the crime being accused of.

So in nairaland were people say violent things, does that mean life in prison for them too? If you listen to his case, you will see he got life for what he said not did. He didn't kill anyone nor destroy property. Just words. He doesn't deserve life.

Buhari administration called them terrorists but refused to call the evil in the north terrorists but instead calling them bandits. The court said he is an international terrorist. How and why?

IPOB was never accepted as a terrorist group only Nigeria that pushed it. Buhari said the division of the country is non negotiable. What happened to self determination?

ISWAP and Boko Haram are international terrorist but they are forgiven and allowed to join our security operatives. This are terrorists. If the judiciary wants to be just, then you can't favor some and smite others.

thesicilian:
When they loose on intellectual grounds, they start appealing to tribal sentiments.

Iswap leader got 20 yrs for killing, instigating killings, looting, destroying property and murder of security personnel while Nnamdi Kanu was giving life for instigating and you want to say it's fair?

When 7 soldiers were killed in the south, the military said "how dare they do such a thing" and sieged the community while a general was killed in the north and no siege or retaliation. Is that fair?

Do you want me to bring more cases?

This is fake news. Nigeria is at peace.

When igbos were complaining, the northerners refered to igbos as the problem of Nigeria.

When igbos said no to APC and buhari, the northerners said it is the time of the north.

When igbos said let an igbo man run the country, the northerners said igbos will never be president.

When Buhari finished his presidency, igbos cursed him while northerners gave him a hero's welcome.

If the south east was experiencing this level of crime, the northerners would have been happy but unfortunately they are the ones experiencing it.

Btruth:
I think it's time to legalize gun in Nigeria. Let everyone take their security into their own hands.

Are you trying to instigate violence. Nigeria is at peace.

Trying to remove our attention from the real problem of the country. Federal government can do whatever they want. Once things get out of hand, the politicians will flee and those that can't will stay.

Thundafireseun:
If that soilder boy sees armed bandits or armed robbers,…, his type will run away

So will you stay? What kind of useless comment did you make. He stood his ground because of orders which is the right thing to do. A soldier obeys the last order. Have you seen him in the Frontline? How do you know his type will run? Is it by face or age?

MarkNsukkaBread:
A sensible officer knows there are some orders you don't follow

That is not for you to decide unless you want court-martial. In the army, you follow until the last order.

Wike just embarrassed himself. The soldier was simply following orders and in the army, orders come first before anything yet see the way wike was talking to the officer. He even told wike that he was following orders and wike called him a fool.

helinues:
USA and their government should shut up.

They can never tell us what to do in Nigeria

Arant nonsense

Oya your country doesn't know what to do about the insecurity so what's next?

Is it because your loved ones or relatives haven't been kidnapped or killed?

So if nobody complained, tinubu and his crew would not care about who they released. Imagine the level of stupidity to release a lady that murdered her husband in the name of pardon.

Why not the name of the gate man that was shot?

BikoMERCYme:
Truth be told.....if u as man listen now to ghe the on how to psychologically handle girl......u r a big time failure........

REDPILL issa inborn behavior.........once u don't possess it no matter the redpill message or novel u can't learn else u become a narcissist......

See part of the problem here. You don't even know what being a narcissist means.
Red pill exposes and advices men not to tolerate bad female behavior. In every group, there will always be those that will go overboard however the majority of advices are good.

So, they killed 100 terrorists but no causality or evidence to show for it.

Rebuke:
Lol. Oya, let the defenders start their work immediately!

Instead of some sycophants and hypocrites to learn from history and amend their ways, they will rather continue to defend undefendable in the name of being nice to the dead as it's not good to speak ill of the dead, bla, bla, bla.

In fact, Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they are getting so far.

If yhu are one of those who lost a loved one to any of the incidents, hope yhu will still hold on to such belief.

Read below and tell me if yhu can debunk any of the claims here:


🇳🇬 1. Zaria Massacre (December 2015)

The Nigerian Army attacked the Shiite community (Islamic Movement in Nigeria) in Zaria, Kaduna State, killing between 348 and 1,000+ civilians, according to various reports. Bodies were buried in mass graves, and Shiite leader Ibrahim Zakzaky was detained .

🪖 2. 2020 #EndSARS / Lekki Toll Gate Shooting

In October 2020, peaceful protests against SARS police brutality escalated when soldiers opened fire at Lagos's Lekki Toll Gate. A judicial panel confirmed 11 deaths, while witnesses and NGOs suggest more, possibly over 12 .



---

⚔️ 3. State-Sponsored Violence & Security Crises

Operation Python Dance II (Dec 2016–Feb 2017): Targeted IPOB in southeast, resulting in ~80 deaths of pro-Biafra supporters .

Agatu Massacre (Feb–Mar 2016): Fulani herdsmen attacked communities in Benue State, killing around 300–500 people .

Frequent attacks on worship centers, including the June 2022 Owo church attack in Ondo State with ~40 fatalities .



---

🧨 4. Widespread Violence by Non-State Actors

Under Buhari, bandits, herdsmen, Boko Haram, and terrorists largely escalated their violent operations. In the first quarter of 2022 alone, 1,884 people died across the country .

Reports estimate that over 11,000 civilians and security personnel were killed by terrorists, bandits, and herdsmen between 2015–2021 .

Notable massacres include:

Zamfara (Jan 2022): Over 200 civilians killed .

Kebbi (Mar 2022): Bandits ambushed vigilantes and security officers, killing over 80 .






🕊️ 5. Extrajudicial Killings & Military Force

Numerous reports highlight extrajudicial killings and military violence against civilians (“unknown gunmen”) during his administration, including 4,068 killed by military between 2015–2019 .




In nutshell,

Under Buhari, tragic loss of life occurred through a combination of:

1. state-led violence (Zaria, IPOB operations, #EndSARS shooting),


2. insurgent and bandit conflicts (Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, militia),


3. extrajudicial actions by military/security forces.



These events drew widespread condemnation and left a legacy of deep polarization and grief.

Bro you came in with facts. Well done. There are some incidents that I didn't even know about.

Be like say ADC wants to swallow all non-APC parties.

Dottore:
You need to first read my post then comprehend if you can. Why is it hard for you to understand that I meant we can get sex anywhere stress free and cheaply

I read your post and you said the primary thing men want is sex did you not say that? so yes, I read your post. I told you that sex is not the primary thing men want from women. The idea of men primarily want sex only applies if the man just wants fun but when you categorize all men, then you are wrong. It's also not cheaper nowadays because some women are becoming more materialistic and feeling they deserve princess treatment. There are more responsible men than irresponsible men.

Dottore:
Haba. I wonder why this gender fail to understand that the primary thing that a man wants is sex and it's becoming cheaper and cheaper by the day

So that's what you could understand by that post. How can an adult think it's funny or cute to ask someone "what if I cancel the date?". What kind of response do you expect him to give because I'm sure if a lady was asked, she will be upset.

Stop trying to make yourself feel good by saying nonsense about men. Men want a woman that will be an image of their daughter. That means discipline, beauty, respect, intelligence etc. Both genders love sex if not, some women won't cheat.

Masturbation is not entirely bad. It's both good and bad. We as humans are hardwired by nature to seek potential mates to reproduce and I mean both male and female. Such urge can lead to life changing decisions such as unwanted pregnancy or sexual violence. This urge comes from chemicals the brain produces which it's volume can vary from person to person. It's a suppressant to such urge as well as calms the mind making better productivity the next day. It also protects the individual from STDS or getting exposed to harm from bad people.

We do not understand that removing one element of something can bring a new form of problem. People do not think of the whole picture, so they just point at somethings as bad. It's a self-relieving process that society tries to shame without any credible reason.

Chai. This life gets as it be. Coming back from work just to meet evil people. Sometimes I don't blame jungle justice. May her soul rest in peace.

tobore4u:
your comment up there made alot of sense.....I just wanted to quote it but Nairaland 40 words rule just won't allow.

So sorry.

Oh that's ok. They should remove the 40 words rule since I find no reason for it. I believe if the algorithm shows people's distaste for such, they will eventually remove it. Good morning and have a lovely day.

tobore4u:
Don't ask Nairaland members for contact details (email, phone, bbpin) or investments.

I don't understand. When did I ever ask for any of that?

I find it hard to believe those are addictions but I might be ignorant.

The first goal of stopping an addiction is having a reason to see it as bad. Bad in the sense of harming you not religious or supernatural.

Second is the will power. Do you really want to stop it and are you ready to stop it.

Third is dedication. Are you constantly reminding yourself that those actions are bad and able to eliminate any thoughts of doubt.

Fourth is time. The body adjust to things we do everyday that is why we humans are very special.

The last is believe in yourself. Nothing is too late and until you start walking, you won't reach your goal.

Not really. It has both negative and positive benefits to using your phone while taking a dump.

It helps to keep you occupied while your battle with the toilet rages on.

It helps to relax the mind. Too much pushing can stress the brain.

It helps to keep you long enough to empty your bowels rather than rushing because of boredom.

Negative:

It can be fueling addiction to social media.

You can transfer infection onto the body of your phone since we hardly clean our phones.

You can waste too much time that would have been used for something else.

Over sitting in that position can restrict blood flow which can lead to something bad.

You might drop your phone inside the toilet which we already can guess how that will end.

You can delay someone waiting for you to finish in a public restroom.

They want to impress so they are afraid to embark on certain businesses that would have been profitable but looked down upon.

They also try to create this lavish lifestyle image to impress their peers which leads to wasting precious funds.

They don't know that business needs time to boom so they start a business and immediately short it down after a year because they weren't earning enough.

They quickly start having kids before being financially stable. Kids drain finances so be prepared.

They remain too comfortable with their current job that may not be generating enough financially. This reduces the willingness to elevate their career.

16 years and he has already ruined his life. Once he is found guilty and sent to prison, he will understand what freedom and consequences really means.

RIP teacher. May his family find the strength to withstand such a loss.

I feel bad for his parents. No parent wants to ever hear such bad news about their kid.

Mental problem. People should be careful with whom they date. Imagine going to such an extreme. They should take him to hospital and serve him court papers. He must still face justice.

If your lover cheats, try and remain calm. Happened to me and I remained calm because we are responsible for our actions. If he/she cheats, break up and move on. Violence never helps in such a situation.
