onila: Nigerians are known 2 be the most creative africans out there, hush!!!
Yeah, destructed creativity. I said constructive creativity is what's lacking. Other than 419 scams, Nigerians aren't known for much else around the world.
CultureRe: Am Blamed For My Inability To Communicate In My Dialect! by DaRapture: 5:36pm On Jun 28, 2012
cowgurl: It's in the Nigeria's culture for parents to teach their kids their various dialects.

But in my case, it's kinda different cos my folks rarely communicated with us in such a manner, it was english language all through but with themselves, it's not.

Now, am in my early adulthood and still can't speak my dialect but what beats me more is the fact that whenever I get to meet my uncles and aunts, they lash out on me cos of that inability, telling me it's of my doing and I've refused to accept or agree with them.

Let's share ideas peeps, do you think it's the kids, parents or society's fault for our inability to communicate in our dialects?
Do you live in the US or UK?

humblebee: shocked shocked shocked MY Good LORD.. these idiots get high too? nah nah! i dont believe this, tot they only do burukutu
Actually this is quite common. US forces have found loads of hard drugs on the possession of many of the militant they've killed and within their compounds. No clear minded person can continuously act on suicidal activities and not go crazy. Unless an individual is already mentally ill in which causes them to act with poor suicidal judgement, then they'd need a substance in which will bring them to that level. Nazi Germans solders were notorious for using LSD and other synthetic drugs invented by Nazi German scientist to keep their solders driven to carry out the Nazi parties evil deeds in the later part of the war when it was obvious that they'd be soon crushed.

honeric01: Since you think it's explosives they tossed, how many explosion did they account for? i mean why didn't they say much about explosion, rather only on the recovered 3 rifles?
Perhaps you should reread the article, it clearly states that the JTF found and detonated many IED's in which were in the possession of the militants, and that during the course of the conflict the militants managed to detonate several others in which were tossed in the direction of the JTF men.

farouqzaib: I suppose they do. I think they have a university kinda school(NDA maybe, not sure). I don't think it solves the problem else, we should have a higher number of ground forces.
Well from my limited understanding of the situation, the low numbers are due to a deliberate effort by the gov. to maintain active force numbers at between 70K and 80K. This is most likely do to an unwillingness to invest the necessary funds to maintain an active force of the appropriate numbers needed.

This show of lack of willingness to invest the properly needed funds in the military is also shown in the fact of that most of the force still uses AK's as their standard rifle, they purchased crap Chinese knockoff fighter jets instead of Russian, American or Euro among other Chinese junk, and American and Eastern European Cold War and WW2 error jalopies. cheesy

farouqzaib: My point exactly! The gov't has something to offer those who are ready to put in the time. What does the Nigerian gov't have to offer?
So are you telling me that the Nigerian military doesn't offer mechanical, engineering, medical, electrical, and other skills courses?
PoliticsRe: JTF Kills 17 Gunmen & Defuse Bombs In Kano by DaRapture: 9:23pm On Jun 27, 2012
farouqzaib: I can understand being a Soldier in US or UK, at least I know I'm fighting for freedom for my unborn kids(if IED no tear my leg for Black hawk Down remake or Fallujah) or the very least freedom for my neighbour and a better chance for 'em in the pursuit of happiness. Let's face it, there is nothing to fight for in Nigeria. Not for me anyways.

And if you must quote me, abeg use sense and don't start any blind patriotism here.

To quote Coldplay, "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you can tell me something worth fighting for".
LOL, you're totally fooling yourself if you seriously think that that is why most of the folks in the US military have joined. cheesy Nah, most joined for the free education, and because THERE ARE NO FREAKING JOBS LEFT!! You gotta do what you gotta do, and if you're facing being out on the streets, on welfare, and loaded with debt, then risking your life for a couple of years in the military starts to look damn good to a lot of people.

That's why the majority of the nation's military is filled with poor, under educated, and previously unemployed people from the back country woods, and ghettos of the nation. You think these people join because they're gong ho to go die in the desert to make some politicians richer? Hell no; they do it because they are willing to risk death, in order to obtain the benefits in which the service offers, and get up out of the dead end lives they've been dealt.

Redhot111: mindless of wat u tink, i know dat d outside sentiment, Nigerian soldiers remain a courageous millitary outfit dat i hv cum 2 trust over d yrs n recently i also got sum gud reasons 2 like our SSS. So diz gallant men dat keep riskin dia lives deserves our support on d very least. If u cant giv dat, den better noy comment. After all am sure u can't stand against a man dat has a catapult talk more explosive. U get mind?
One major problem is that the nations ground forces are severely undermanned. There's only 75,000 personal in the entire Nigerian active military. That's waaay undermanned for a nation as big as Nigeria, and with like 160Mill people, especially considering that it has forces stationed in Sudan and other West African nations, a militant group running wild in the North and another currently calm one in the South East oil and gas region. That nation should have a ground force of at least 100,000 alone in active duty easy. I wonder why they are so content on keeping their military numbers so low.

honeric01: LOL SPOON, MAYBE WITH STICK.. 30 KILLED, ONLY 3 RIFLE RECOVERED AND THEY CLAIM THEY KILLED ASSAILANTS CAME TO ATTACK A SECURITY FORMATION.. funny lol
Most would of been armed with explosive devices in which they toss in the direction of security forces, not rifles; they'd toss their explosives and then run away.. unless they've been chosen to be suicide bombers, in any case.. I can tell when a story is fishy, and this doesn't seem to be one.
