I'm a big fan. Hopefully, George R.R. Martin finishes the next one soon.

Been long I saw her. My friend's sister. She's an amazing girl. Good luck.

Dem swear for Nigeria sef?

Oil prices in the world fall but PMS price increases in Nigeria.

And someone was shouting that the former President should reduce PMS price cause Crude oil price has crashed internationally.

So many wrong things with Nigeria

The headline doesn't tell the whole story

Its a catchy and powerful phrase if you ask me.

rildwanullahi:
the weapons are coming in en masse, sometimes when I go to apapa, I see weapons being Conveyed by soldiers on more than 2 occasions in the last 3 months , I don't go there everyday o

Ammunitions arrive on a steady but hardly does new weapons and equipments. Can't count how many times I've seen Soldiers offloading at Apapa and Warri ports.

Sometimes, you see the boxes on the truck in the convoy and its usually grenades and bullets written on them.

rildwanullahi:
My brother those boys are well trained, there is an article I read that confirms it by those on the front line

That's like saying all robbers and cultists are well trained, simply because they can shoot a gun.

Anyways, I said "little or no military training" but you using "well trained" is a bit too much.

jayAjoku:
same thing with isis they are not as equipped or as powerful as the Russians and syrian army combined but still they thrive

The only thing missing from ISIS arsenal is nuclear weapons, ICBMS and fighter jets (cause ISIS has just a few). They are almost as equipped as the Syrians (if not better) but not on the same level with the Russians.

olab059:
How do you know about that?

.

The delivery of Battleships and Cruisers have always made the news. Likewise aircraft and Armoured Personnel Carriers, so I'm sure I would have seen if this administration has made giant leaps in logistics and equipment upgrade.

efilefun:
Dont be surprised those rag tagged dudes are well equipped by some thieves who who feed on a troubled Nigeria.

That may be true. Some months ago, I saw what some young youths did to some Army officers in Warri, that the Army personnel had to flee their post. Later heard some peeps paid them to fight for the contract land based on tribal affiliation.

Kgdavid:
Are you not following Nigerian politics? 2 years back what was the daily cry of the military and those close to them? Was it not the poor state of equipment and inadequacy of arms handed out to them?

Once the govt, then under GEJ got serious at election time, was that not when the story started to change? and when PMB took over when last did you hear of boko haram defeating the Nigerian Army in a single encounter?

Reason why I didn't wanna drag politics into it is cause of your 1st paragraph. Cause you are implying that the above weapons images were procured by this administration and that before this administration, they didn't exist. 2ndly, neither GEJ or PMB are on the front lines fighting the insurgents which still boils down to me being surprised by our armed forces being haggled by people with little or no military training.

And I never mentioned Boko Haram cause they are not the only ones fighting the Armed forces, I also meant militants, illiterate youths used for elections etc.

These are people with little or no training, holding it down against people with a career in it.


Its just a thought though, so don't get too irked.

God bless the Armed Forces.

olab059:
One of the areas Buhari scored high points in so far.

His offensive strategies and leadership changes seems to be working excellently. But in the area of logistics, upgrade and weapons purchase, I'm not so sure.

Now, this is not a bashing of our Armed Forces, especially since I come from a family with deep ties to the security forces, but its really astounding that with all these equipments, training and all, that a group of rag tag civilians with little or no military training (some are even little boys), could wage a war with our military and in some cases defeat them. Its really astounding.


Irrational youths would quote and play politics with it as usual. Please find your mate.


God bless them though. Goodluck cousin as you sail the N-D creeks.

I was there on thursday. According to some eye witnesses, the customs officers tried stopping a truck but he evaded them and they shot at it killing the bike man.

My question is why aren't the customs at the border checking for contrabands instead of allowing it into the country and trying to stop it here?

I really need these girls to be free and re-united with their families, but I'm really not comfortable with negotiating (prisoner swap, financial aid etc) with people who have killed thousands of Nigerians.

Such a pickle

Been a while I heard about him. Was beginning to wonder....

Kudos

worlexy:
from where did they start the procession? Where is their HQ located

But this incident didn't happen in "their HQ" or where they are an "illegal organisation", unless you are somehow telling me that H.E El-Rufai extends his executive powers to Katsina state

Worlexy, Timbuktuo and the rest, please bring better facts for argument other than they being banned in Kaduna. This incident happened in Katsina.

Well, quoting a book or the author wont work in a court of law, so dial it down with the judgment

Where Uduaghan na?

Hmmm, I no fit talk wetin dem use my eye see for Warri. All the aunty Pat, Esther, Juliet, Remi, Ovie, Ejiro etc una well done o. Make God no let una pikin go through such o.

harlee:
I have done all that,and noone Touched it while I was away

I have left mine untouched for longer periods and found no fault.

I suggest taking it to a professional for check up.

Ryan Giggs was the 1st name that came to mind when I saw the heading. Glad I wasn't disappointed.

#Legend

Noted that we need to appreciate our heroic Armed forces for the work they do, but at the end of the day, its still a job.

A lot of Nigerians make it seem like they are doing it for free or doing us a favour. They hype is becoming too much.


Coming from someone with deep family ties to the Armed Forces.

I am not rich if I cant share/spend with my family.


FYI, this is no more G, its blood money. Over 100 bodies

Try and remove the battery and power it with just electricity, and see if it works.

If not someone/something might have tampered with it while you were away.

Just once, we would like to go through an entire electoral process without any form of violence!!!

mrvitalis:
Bro statistics do not support that claim

I said 'some' of mankind, not 'all' mankind

mrvitalis:
Religion have mankind what??

Taught some of mankind to give unto others, to have comfort in dark times by prayers, to derive strength form characters in religious books, to know that tomorrow can be better etc. Religion taught some people these things.

mrvitalis:
Bro lol and the guy from Turkey??

And dose that disprove what I said?!

Being from Turkey doesn't mean anything yet. Its still just speculation, and he's a permanent US resident.

Religion has given some of mankind succor, strength to move forward, comfort, charity, belief etc.

mrvitalis:
Am saying it's time mankind outgrow religion. .. What has it Done for u

Bro, no where in the original post was religion mentioned or referenced.

Could just me a case of psychotic madness and hatred. Let's wait to hear more details later.

MadCow1:
The sentiments on Ibori in Delta State is unanimously carried by the majority.. Meanwhile I don grove Asaba and Warri and Sapele and I was like WTF?

And now the 'Majority' of your 3visited cities has become an entire state. Bro good day.
