When I was still a kid,I used to dream of myself following the footsteps of my father, who's a retired army officer . I remember how many essays I wrote back then, especially when it was "what would you like to be in the future?". I wouldn't think twice before writing all about being a "soldier". As a matter of fact,I used to see myself, enlisting into the Nigerian army, getting married to a female soldier and spending the rest of my life in the barracks I really thought of following that path , just to make my old man proud.

But the moment I grew my first beards, that was when I realized that some dreams should never be thought of being actualized. I could remember my old man talking to one of his influential colleague in the army,if he could enlist us in. I mean,my elder bro and I .

Unfortunately,,the boko Haram saga sprung up and I got numerous reasons to say to my childhood dream--"Hey you,get lost"

And guess what,I don't regret dishing that dream of mine,cuz if I had followed that line,who knows? Perhaps my graveyard coulda grown lots of unwanted flowers beside it by now

kpokpo madiga with no zobo. Chai.

The only thing africans like, titles, responsibility is another story.

We are simply the loudest and proudest people that scam people.

scamming is of virtue in Nigeria. You can be a scammer and be the envy of 500 sane looking ladies in your community. I doubt thats the case in Cambodia

Saw a piece yesterday claiming scam globally is around $500 billion.

If we plot Northern Nigeria map very well, i know it will reach 75% of their economy thats dependent on religious intervention.

potential to restore macroeconomic stability and improve investor confidence

APC boys n Obidients. Chai

They said he was a strategist. A political one he is. No prosperity strategy.

WizardOfNG:
Is something wrong with you? Who do you keep confusing posters here with? You sure you're okay?

The bolded just confirmed everything I concluded about the poster I was addressing that means you two are same.

We can't even say tame things on NL without being banned but I will say it is those who are the opposite of winner who will remain so engrossed with a past they cannot change while ignoring a present and future shaping up nicely to truly liberalise and set Nigeria free from agents of regressions.

If I remember correctly, Tinubu stated GEJ should not remove subsidy without putting palliative in place to cushion what may be punitive hike in inflation.

Jonathan was President and could simply have gathered the bravery to defy Tinubu etal to do what he must because all true leaders understand they fail or succeed by the choices they make/fail to make.

What Jagaban did back then is precisely what he should be doing as an opposition leader, looking to oust GEJ from office, and it is what Kemi Badenoch is doing to the British Prime Minister currently to force him out because she smells blood.

It is a measure of the man you are, i.e one always making excuses and blaming others, that you want to put the delay of fuel subsidy removal on Tinubu rather than the weak, inept and totally accidental President GEJ was was too lacking in bravery to do the needful.

What delay did Tinubu entertain, from any force or power in the land, before he declared fuel subsidy is "gone" immediately he became President. Look at the contrast bro and you keep worshipping Jonathan after 11 years out of office and touting him an "innocent victim"?

Go out and win bro. You live in the past so much it is clear you're the kind who does not understand power must be taken not given.

You also do not appear to understand success is often the reward of a man's bravery and capacity to do what must be done while failure, as happened to GEJ, is usually what dithering, procrastinating, cowardice and hiding in fear delivers.

Never get it twisted, I am not holding brief for Tinubu here. Jagaban does not need me to do that for him. He has more than enough capacity to best his opponents as he has always shown as one of the most strategically brilliant politicians in Nigeria.

It is people like you who who should look in the mirror with how you are still crying over the self-inflicted fate of Jonathan who never wanted to be President and was put far above his station by circumstances , and the cynically calculative OBJ, while.you also want to force the equally weak and disastrous called Obi on Nigeria today.

Plenty grammar and no principle. Suddenly, it is victory that matters. If tinubu opposed the removal of what can bring about what you are applauding and imploring others to, shouldnt tinubu be guilty of time wasting and bitter politics to keep Nigeria back for 11 solid years?
I am not a GEJ or Buhari or Tinubu supporter. I follow policy and governance that guarantees better welfare. I know that sounds like stupidity to people like you who are intrinsically partisan to the core.
You do not want to highlight the flaws of your paymaster and i understand that based on your post history. What i cannot stomach, is your aggression to keep shoving junky governance down the throats of percieved neutrals here.

The touchables because their crime was attempting to touch the C-in-C. Poor man can die in the hands of Fuller-Knee.

WizardOfNG:
Don't mind that character. What right do we have to be saying we should be celebrating moon expedition USA just completed?

Do we have the decades of incremental good and improving work and effort the USA put in, to get better at space exploration, to insist we should be where they are today?

How does any balanced Nigerians forget the misrule of the last 5 decades, interspersed with military intervention in political leadership they have no business in, to then expect us to be competing with USA Singapore, UK etal today?

A wise man recognises his current strength and capacity to then build on that. He does not wish to copy others or insist he should be on par with them same way someone boxing for 2 months would be mad thinking he can compare himself to Floyd Mayweather Jr who is in his prime and has been boxing for circa 2 decades at the highest level .

Since the days of beaf, you lack basic intelligence or decorum to deliver balanced opinion concerning issues.

You want people to praise your paymasters for speeding things up right?
Please tell the world, who delayed subsidy removal by opposing it 11 years earlier?
The man you want us all to praise for the delayed effect of subsidy removal should actually be crucified if your mind could offer anything better or remotely as close as your ability to wax lyrical for APC.

State, local, or, FG?

Poor Tinubu propaganda mill at it again. What are they hiding from us.

Lithiumite:
If this is true thats its these marauding bandits that did this,its really sad......this people will really suffer by tge time the tides turn....tinubu should push for a comunal security enabled law that will allow people bare arms.....I am not a supporter of allowing any individual bare arms but communities can and should bare arms after being fully trained and certified......each arm is registered to the community with a security head in charge.....every local community have established security structures already existing all they need is arms......in the SW there is opc,agbeloya,amotekun,NHFSS,VGN etc

your specialty n strategy lately is to doubt such news that highlights the wickedness of the custodian tribe of APC.

The owners of Nigeria-ah

Pythagoras001:
This one's are daft. religion is a private matter is sharia law private ? why should non-muslim and even muslims who aren't interested in it in the north be subjected to it ?

The law is vague and tilted towards islam. Who is a muslim constitutionally. Does the shariah court have power to deny secular judiciary the chance to try one who has renounced islam?

citizenY:
The last time l checked, you were the one asking for a Biafra.

What are the terrorist up north fighting for?

erai30:
Tell the president to step down just as you told Goodluck Jonathan to step down. Insecurity is having its toll on the country and the president is a failure.

stop immersing fish inside ogogoro before eating.

Shariah has nothing to do with secular law.

masterfactor:
My problem is i hate LGBTQ and anybody, be it country or person, place or entity that supports LGBTQ, becomes my enemy and that is a problem.

You did not answer my question

Are you a gay ??

Are you a member of the LGBTQ community

LGBT is a mutual type of terrorism at personal level. I hope you hate terrorism that terminates a mans life while still finding God more than you do for LGBT?
God did not ask you to hate supporters of LGBT. LGBT is bad but still a peraonal level destruction compared to terrorism and theft.

JuanDeDios:
I've actually tried to make this point to Mr Righteousmeds2. That even the chosen Israel in the Bible did bad things and were reprimanded for it. Yet someone thinks everything Mr Netanyahu does is right and must be defended.

I'm not even yet on the delusion of thinking that Netanyahu's Israel is the same as the covenant nation of old that no longer exists and has been replaced.

Everything nethanyahu doea that advances the cause of isreal is right. That doesn't connote perfection of Israel/israelites.

masterfactor:
Are you a supporter of the LGBTQ COMMUNITY

How is this your problem?

JuanDeDios:
Hehehe. I wonder if this is the last straw that breaks Mr Righteousness2's back. Well, I think not. This is just Satan trying to stop him from being blessed for blessing Israel.

You are missing a huge point by a wide margin.

To be a chosen doesnt connote perfection. Superiority is not a sign of ones own effort all the time.

seunmsg:
I will advise Peter Obi to respect himself and stop overdoing this eye service thing. Are you the father of the bride or groom? What’s your business trying to shake all members of the bridal train? From carrying Tuface bag to serving food at events. Now, you want to go about gatecrashing at young people’s wedding and shaking everybody uninvited. Haba now! Have some self respect and stop embarrassing yourself all over the place.

someone is sampling incomplete highways without telling us percentage completion but it is Obi who is doing eye service.

The thunda that will faya you ehn. Na executive thunda.

A private endsars protest. Lol.

The jihad must continue even against one's self.

masterfactor:
How does this affect you

propaganda is like sand in garri or stone in beans.

Only you alert mods 6 times. WriteerNG i hail oooo.

Lithiumite:
How come there aren't always video evidences of most of this attacks,it really beats me hollow all the time.....how much is cctv cameras that local govts and state cant buy for these communities to monitor security.....its really nerve racking imagining how dysfunctional we are as a country.

using style to downplay/deny the news for propaganda sake. It was night, unexpected, and well coordinated as reported.

Maybe those generals downed too were empty coffins according to Gumi.

They want amnesty, is islam a resource like gold or oil?
