RIP great man.

Here we go again, you won't see these lots talk about party, religion or region, they are united in looting our natural resources to almost zero.

Yet, Ovie, ola, Bayo, chukwudi and Preye are busy killing themselves because of what again?

I think he will be the first Deltan to achieve such height in politics, he might even gun for President or Vice president in later years, but he is sure aiming to be a governor of Delta state.

Regardless, I wish him well and hope he delivers, we've too many issues pressing us in Delta state.

@senatordave1 you predicted something like this sometime back right?

The issue here is that your Husband is still a boy, no matter what your mom has done for you, never let her get away with everything she does, you'd regret later in life, learn to challenge her, say No sometimes and do whatsoever you think is right for you and your family, but your husband lacks these qualities.

The day your MIL scolded you, he could he defended you, or even say something in a way his mom will get the message, but I guess he is still a mama's boy.

Most men are the cause of their own problems, they don't know when to draw the line, the best way out for you OP, never stay in the same roof with your in-laws, somehow somehow you guys did exchange blows.

foolbuster:
You are right. The man with the will to unite the African continent and transform it to a global force Ghadaffi was killed by Europeans.

In the case of Sudan, Saudi Arabia is calling the shot, now their citizens are busy shouting "Mama Africa", they are now calling on other Africans to come to their aid, these where the same set of people claiming to be Arabs some yeas back.

We need to look inwardly as a continent, the whites, Arabs, etc don't give a shii about us. I hope those from northern Nigeria romancing with Saudi Arabia learn.

We are the only ones who can safe our continent. Oh I miss Ghadaffi

foolbuster:
Suspend? Why cant Africa just take charge of their own affairs for once.

Just send joint troops to that country and chase off those theiving blood thirsty bastards and oversee a decent election.

AU can't do that for now, they don't have cooperation amongst her members, and no country will be will to dedicate her troops to invade Sudan.

ECOWAS under the leadership of Nigeria has a better opportunity to carry out such action, did I ever mentioned Sudan has some pretty nice army?

The best AU can do is enforce tough sanctions, limit trade among member states with Sudan.

Sanchez01:
If you say Huawei is 'still' doing fine with all these, then I'd say you are not telling the truth. From selling their submarine cable business to being ditched by Google, it's a cascade of nightmare right now.

You call it bullying, I say it is interest.

Leave those ones let them be deceiving themselves, Huawei won't survive this.

AllenSpencer:
Shehu Sani sounds unenlightened

In present world order today, When Saudi is pulling strings, No one dare talks as you won't want to burnt by a Trump.

Saudi Arabia's power has to become an untouchable ever since Trump came to power. Ant move made by them, you won't even see the powers that matter go against them.

Have you seen anybody talk about their bombardment in Yemen! Jamal Kashoogi Murder and other Human right abuses.

Buisness as usual for a Trump with the rich Arabs.

Nigeria should please save its head. South Africa can go make peace there.


Powers are playing and Shehu is talking about Nigeria.

Rightly said. We should learn not to get involved in any battle that won't benefit us. Shenu shouldn't drag us into what doesn't concern us.

As for Saudi Arabia, they will someday pay for their atrocities, bunch of evil blood suckers.

Mystiquefia:
This right actually.. coz I'm not thinking of tying the knot anytime soon.

Oshare seems you are back from holiday, longest time.

Sanchez01:
These guys will run this country aground eventually. N188,000 per uniform ($527) is disturbingly expensive. And to think that I used to believe Fowler had sense...

Truth is, they are all criminals, Fowler is no different from the others, I expect the youths to smell the coffee and start a revolution.

We're doomed in this country, with the APC and PDP at the helm of Nigeria's affairs.

JasonScoolari and sanchez01, look at the demons ruling us. My lawd, the level of corruption in this country in alarming. 188k per uniform.

DAMN

JasonScoolari:
I have come to realize that even if you give Most Nigerian ladies the best furck, attention, care, make her laugh, build a mansion for her father, they'll still have another excuse to cheat.


By the way, are you from Delta state?

You are damn wrong Oniovo.

From what you just typed, Your wife needs attention and care, why not give it to her? how is your sex life like? hope it isn't once a while ish, since your job schedule is making you unavailable, the little time you have with her, make it special, spoil her, make her feel like a queen, have great sex, listen to her, play with her and lastly talk to her.

She is human, and she has got some desires. YOUR WIFE ISN'T CHEATING ON YOU.

Sad one for us, never had much communication with him, but I always see him as an okpako, a senior man. I admired him from afar and wished I could touch souls like he always do.

I heard he grew up in Lagos, thou a proud Urhobo man and a Deltan. Hungerbad lived, may his wife and kids never lack anything in life.

RIP SIR.

Sanchez01:
He told me he had an accident way back, about a year ago. His SUV ran into some other vehicle on the road, he came down unhurt and thought all was well. A year later, he started feeling some discomfort around his spine and had to use the hospital. That was around the time we spoke.

From late last year to very early this year, he was in the hospital. When he was out a while, he had to go back again for series of tests. He told me he had a month or two away from his retirement. He never told me was a soldier and I had no idea at all.

This is heart wrenching.

Men, so sad right now.

RIP man.

JasonScoolari:
Osè, Nah your loyal smallie Jason dey type, you quick leave us for this side and the thing pain us... Though we nor dey the same political ship but brothers na brothers...

We'll miss you. Farewell.

OBAGADAFFI:
Hezbollah is still using Guerilla warfare till date.

Every time Hezbollah attack Israel they do it with CIVILIAN SHIELD , that is why IDF retaliation always result in more civilian casualties.


If Israel should go hard on Hezbollah, they will wipe off GAZA, and LEBANON .

I bet you know more than American military experts, maybe you a are confusing Hezbollah with Hamas. In the 2006 battle Hezbollah fought IDF ground troops, how can they use civilian shield when IDF was unable to penetrate Hezbollah defense formation?, most battles happened in villageS with few people and empty fields. The only thing Hezbollah was accused of was stockpiling weapons in some homes, but they NEVER use civilian as shield in the 2006 war.

After the 2006 war, Hezbollah haven't clashed with IDF, and the few times rocket was fired into Isreal, Hezbollah denied being responsible. So far IDF has learnt their lessons and Hezbollah won't provoke any crisis. But HEZBOLLAH WON that war.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Nope.. You're wrong. There was a reason the IDF were bombing the civilian infrastructure/population.
Secondly they didn't defeat Israel . before the war hezbollah was a state within a state.. Controlled southern Lebanon, but were later replaced by a Lebanese army and an International force. Is that how to win a war?

Even the Israeli soldier they killed/taken as prisoners were returned to Israel.. (Israel returned hezbollah prisoners/remains of dead soldiers)

How's that a military victory for hezbollah??

Hezbollah wasn't a state within a state, it was/is a resistant movement, they are part of the Lebanese government, control 1/3 of the Senate seat I guess.

When Hezbollah kidnapped some Israeli soldiers, Israel became angry and vowed to crush Hezbollah within a month, so they carried out airstrikes in southern Lebanon, hoping that will force the Lebanese government to surrender Hezbollah to them, unknown to IDF, Hezbollah has dug a lot of deep tunnels and bunker where they kept most of their rockets and weapons.

After series of bombing, Hezbollah never stopped firing rockets into Isreal territory, meaning the airstrikes weren't effective, so Isreal Prime Minister approved a ground invasion to finally crush Hezbollah, they so underrated Hezbollah and thought Hezbollah were some kind of untrained Arab men with riffle. When they got to Lebanon Hezbollah smashed most of their trucks/tanks, they couldn't believe their eyes, on one occasion an infantry refused advancing forward because they fear Hezbollah will crush them (They were later detained).

In the battle of Bint Jbeil, Hezbollah surprised IDF with their doggedness, a few men guided the entire village. Till the war ended, Hezbollah never stopped fighting, and showed no signs of giving up, even Israeli medias were disappointed.

OBAGADAFFI:
Hezbollah is using Gorilla warfare, which common among most terrorist group like ISIS, BOKO-HARAM in Nigeria,Iraq and others

Hezbollah don't have specific country operation, so they can confront Israel in conventional Battle.

Hezbollah used Guerilla warfare during their first battle with Isreal, but quickly embraced a new doctrine, transforming itself from a predominantly guerrilla force into a formidable quasi-conventional fighting force.

They have specific territories, in fact IDF ground troops refused advancing towards Hezbollah controlled area. Israel lost most of her conventional war skills fighting unarmed women and kids in Palestine, that when they met a real force they couldn't deliver. While both parties claim victory, this will be the first time Isreal leaves a battle without achieving her aims or getting Hezbollah to do things according to their terms. Hezbollah destroyed the myth that they were undefeated.

That war alone brought a lot of Shame to IDF. you can download "We were caught unprepared" and read about the war.

HBB1:
And the Israelis killing more Hezbollah fighters than they lost translates to them loosing the war.
The Lebanese government even with all the airstrikes folded their arms, avoiding a full scale war.
Hezbollah asked for an unconditional ceasefire in the end, while Israel still demanded certain conditions, until pressured by the international community.
So how did Israel loose that war?
If push comes to shove, they will bomb the whole country to dust.

Hezbollah didn't ask for any unconditional ceasefire, I even provided a book for you to update yourself about the crisis, yet you keep posting false information and lies, hyping the Israeli troops that lost shamelessly. Here is another excerpt from the book, note this book was written by Isreal strongest ally, America. On several occasions, American forces refer to the 2006 Lebanon war as it taught them a serious lesson.

Israel failed on the strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Israel did not succeed in generating decapitation, paralysis, blindness, or any other effect that substantially harms the will or functioning of the organization’s command and control echelon. Nor did it succeed in suppressing the operational effectiveness of Hizbollah’s combat groups and light surface-to-surface rocket formations. At the end of the day, Israel did not upset the equilibrium of Hizbollah’s system and did not create a sense of helplessness and distress, nor did it push the organization towards cognitive-strategic collapse and a drive to end the war immediately on Israel’s terms.

In the conventional arena, the IDF ground forces performed unsatisfactorily. The fight at Wadi al-Saluki, for example, revealed the failure of tank commanders and crewmen to use their smokescreen systems, the lack of indirect-fire skills, and the total absence of combined arms proficiency. The IDF lost many of these perishable combat skills during its long years of COIN operations against the Palestinians. Hezbollah proved to be a highly dedicated and professional fighting force, armed with some of the most advanced weapon systems in the world. There can be no doubt that the IDF greatly underestimated its opponent. From 2000 to 2006, Hezbollah successfully embraced a new doctrine, transforming itself from a predominantly guerrilla force into a formidable quasi-conventional fighting force.

In the tactical arena, Hezbollah proved a worthy adversary for IDF ground forces. Its use of swarming ATGMs and RPGs against Israeli tanks was both shrewd and inventive. Of the 114 IDF personnel killed during the war, 30 were tank crewmen. Out of the 400 tanks involved in the fighting in southern Lebanon, 48 were hit, 40 were damaged, and 20
penetrated. It is believed that five Merkavas were completely destroyed. Clearly, Hezbollah has mastered the art of light infantry/ATGM tactics against heavy mechanized forces. Hezbollah also deserves high marks for its innovative use of sophisticated ambushes and the clever use of both direct and indirect fires

For six years, the IDF conducted a counterinsurgency campaign against the Palestinians and developed a doctrine rooted in EBO and high-tech wizardry. However, in the summer of 2006, when confronted by a conventional war with Hezbollah, the Israeli military proved incapable of defeating a minor adversary. Although research and analysis of this recent conflict are still ongoing, the emerging details of ill-conceived doctrine and an army marred by long years of counterinsurgency operations still yield valid and important lessons for today’s US Army officers.

Please take note @ the bolded. I'm done arguing with you. do have a good night rest.

odigbosky:
I remember the 2006 Israel Hezbollah conflict because I had a aunt in Lebanon then. Many Nigerians had to run to neighbouring Jordan for safety during the war, Israel pounded Lebanon so hard. What Hezbollah did was more of guirella fighting. Hezbollah can't match the Israeli army in real conventional warfare. Them no be mate

They ran as a result of heavy bombardment on Lebanon, Israel's Original plan was to continue an air raid in Lebanon for one month, cripple the economy and infrastructures, bomb Hezbollah key communication channels and force them to surrender.

After a weak of constant bombardment, Hezbollah never stopped in shooting rockets into Isreal, all her communication channels were still in tact, Israel had no option than to send in ground troops, which Hezbollah was well prepared for.

I will share you this material to read about the battle, I already posted an excerpt above, the book was written by an American soldier, he studied Israel's inability to curtain Hezbollah and how unprepared they were. https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/combat-studies-institute/csi-books/we-were-caught-unprepared.pdf (We were caught unprepared).

Same thing I'm saying about US invading Iran, They might carry out some air strikes, but will meet stiff resistance if they invade Iran territory.

HBB1:
Naah!!!
It was guerilla warfare... No face to face anything.
They hit and run, that was the tactic.
Their casualties were more, the civilian casualties were worse and it was an ugly situation.
The country was being bombed to smithereens and most of the victims were innocent.
I'm not taking it away that they were fierce fighters, but how Israel lost the war when in the end Israel was last to come to the negotiating table beats me.

I think you should read this book titled "We were caught unprepared", written by an American soldier about the 2006 Lebanon war (https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/combat-studies-institute/csi-books/we-were-caught-unprepared.pdf). It's just 1mb, download and get a true picture of the crisis, you can also recommend any book for me.

here is an excerpt from the book

... On 17 July, the first large-scale Israeli ground foray began near Maroun al-Ras in an effort to establish a foothold in southern Lebanon. One of the first units to come to blows with Hezbollah in Maroun al-Ras was the elite Maglan unit, part of what the IDF called a “special forces cluster.” “We didn’t know what hit us,” one Maglan soldier told a reporter. The Special Forces soldiers were stunned by the volume of gunfire and the doggedness of the Hezbollah fighters.

Another Maglan reported, “We expected a tent and three Kalashnikovs—that was the intelligence we were given. Instead, we found a hydraulic steel door leading to a well-equipped network of tunnels.” By the next morning, the Maglans were virtually surrounded. It was reported from northern headquarters that “the commander of the IDF’s northern sector, Lieutenant-General Udi Adams, could barely believe that some of his best soldiers had been so swiftly trapped; neither could the chief of staff. ‘What’s wrong with the Maglans?’ Halutz demanded to know. ‘They are surrounded,’Adams replied quietly. ‘I must send in more
forces.’

From underground bunkers and tunnels, Hezbollah fighters in and around Maroun al-Ras fought back frantically. As the battle intensified, the IDF was forced to throw more forces into the fray. Soon, tanks from three Israeli brigades entered the fight, along with the Egoz unit from the Golani Brigade, an engineer battalion, and Battalion 101 of the Paratrooper Brigade. On 19 July, a Hezbollah antitank missile killed five Egoz soldiers as they sought shelter in a house.5 At the same time, numerous IDF tanks were hit by Sagger antitank missiles, wounding many of the tank crewmen. “They’re not fighting like we thought they would,” one IDF soldier said. “They’re fighting harder. They’re good on their own ground.” In fact, Hezbollah’s tactical proficiency bewildered the IDF. Hezbollah was not simply hunkering down and defending terrain, but using its small arms, mortars, rockets, and antitank weapons to successfully maneuver against the IDF.
...

HBB1:
Which battle?
What are you saying Oga!
A terrorist group that hides behind women and children won what?
Shior!

Hezbollah is a resistant movement, secondly they didn't hide behind women and children during the 2006 war with Isreal, they fought face to face. I think you are confusing Hezbollah with Hamas or Isis.

Hezbollah had locations, they fought from a well known but fortified positions, they guided each Lebanese village bordering Isreal, while evacuating women and children to safer positions. Even before shooting rockets at Isreal they sent text to Israelis telling them to live their homes.

You just have to respect those guys, they were fearless, you can read more about them, even Isreali soldiers were marvelled at how those guys fought. 100 Hezbollah members might guide a village, you invading will think they are up to 1000 because of how well positioned they are.

Hezbollah were brave, even in current war in Syria, they are performing wonders, they single handedly defeated some rebels in 2017 or so.

Beface:
If that is the case according to statistics as at 2006 they had 13000 troops and this exclude Lebanon troops who was also involved. My point is 2k troops is too small to take on Israel.

They are not up to 2k self, several reports state hundreds, whiles other put their maximum fighters as at then to be 2-3k. I know you are a bit surprised that a small group defeated them, because you can do a little research yourself.

And the 13000 you posted is false, Hezbollah doesn't have such fighters as at then.

Beface:
For the record Hezbollah has more than 25,000 full-time fighters and 20,000–30,000 reservists.

We are talking of 2006, you are pulling stats of 2019. in 2006 Hezbollah was a small group, around 2k, while Israel fought with 30000 troops.

wingmanII:
Go and read. Hizbollah is a shitte group

Who is denying the fact that Hezbollah isn't a shite group?, our major concern is, how were they formed, what was their objective or aim of existing.

Shiite isn't an objective, it's just a section of the Islamic faith.

wingmanII:
Give it up. You obviously don't know what you are talking about.
Hizbollah are Iran backed Shittes militia and was not formed solely to fight Israel but protect Shittes interest in the area.
Israel control Lebanon resources? Na wah. What resources exactly?
Israel won't think of occupying Lebanon land because they know UN and the rest of the world would not accept that.

Whats your problem.

Hezbollah came into existence because Isreal was occupying Lebanese territory in pretense of Chasing Palestine militias, The Palestinians were no longer in Lebanon and Lebanese asked Isreal to leave their territory, but Isreal refused, wasn't that why Hezbollah came into existence? and do you know Hezbollah wasn't made up of shiites alone? even Lebanese Christians fought alongside, all they wanted was their land BACK.

If Isreal had respected themselves and leave Lebanon, Iran wouldnt have had any excuse to create or train Hezbollah, in fact the first time Isreali troops entered Lebanon, Lebanese welcomed them because they were tired of Palestinians refugees turning their country into a war zone.

You are welcome.

tescoman90:
Compare the map of Israel n Lebanon n tell me who is the small group

We are not talking about land mass, and besides the war only took part in southern Lebanon, not the entire country.

For the record, Hezbollah was a small group compared to Isreal Armed Forces, In the battle Hezbollah was made up of 2000 men while IDF 30000 men, so judging from the numbers you can see Hezbollah was really a small group, yet they fought like lions.

wingmanII:
Did your write up above make sense to you?
Israel did not occupy Lebanon as at the period of that "war", so how is it an objective?
IPOB has remained active despite FGN banning and proscribing them, does it mean IPOB has defeated Nigeria.?

I don't think you have written down any objective.

Isreal has always had the thought of Occupying Lebanon, you asking me how was it an objective?, why did they (Hezbollah) come into existence in the first place? if not to tame Israel's aggressive nature in the region.

You can't compare IPOB with Hezbollah, and don't drag me into that discussion, IPOB hasn't fought the federal government, neither have they secured their territory from external aggressors, Hezbollah fought and defended their land from foreign land grabbers, and when Israel saw she couldn't defeat them, they withdrew. They only withdrew because they met great resistance, Isreal in all her battles hardly do that.

Now let me tell you Isreal's objectives

* Conquer and eliminate Hezbollah
* Occupy Southern Lebanon using any excuse possible
* Control Lebanon resources, etc

which of these did they achieve?

hecomeshome:
Nobody is praying for war. Even Iran doesn't want war. Iran provoked the U.S by saying the the U.S must take permission from them before entering the strait of Hormuz.
America is a power house in all ramifications.
Make no mistakes about it, in modern warfare, wars are won from the air.

Air only gives you great advantages, don't not be deceived, without a well coordinated ground troops, you can't win a war, plus Iran isnt a plane field you can just bomb, the country is filled with rocks.

Nkc22:
Bro, you spoke with facts but don't leave out some vital truths...In that Lebanon war between Hezbollah and Isreal, Iranian military came to the support of the Hezbollah before and during the war...That alone nullifies some points you raised here...

Iran has always and is still funding and supporting Hezbollah, Iran created them, it is a well known fact. Same way US is supporting and funding Isreal. So the equation is balanced, the issue is that Isreal goofed badly.

wingmanII:
How did hizbollah achieve their objective? What was their objective?
Ignorant much

* Get Isreal to leave Lebanon
* Remain active despite Israel's ultimate plan to eliminate them
* Remain a resistant block in Lebanon against Isreal's land grabbing antics

What objective did Israel ever accomplished the two times they met with Hezbollah?

RTSC:
When America destroyed Saddam Hussein and his Iraq, it was the greater power of the region.
In fact, Iraq was planning to invade Iran after already invading kuwait. That was how powerful they were .

It was because America destroyed Iraq that created the vacuum for Iran to rise.

America would destroy them as well at very little cost.
America have superiority in the air and sea. Iran would lose every asset-asset contest.
They are not Russia.

The only people that would suffer is the middle east as usual.
Americans would be fine, thousands of mile away.

Iraq was not stronger than Iran then, Iraq only thought of Invading Iran because of his allies and the upcoming sanctions eating Iran up, so Saddam Hussein thought that would be a perfect time to strike.

Even after he started the war, he couldn't move deep into Iran before Iran chanced him out, and Iraq was now on a defensive battle instead of Offensive. Iraq can't be stronger than Iran then, if Iran had gotten the level of supports Iraq got, they would have captured the entire Iraq.

America will destroy Iran, no doubt, but the issue is that you feel it will cost US nothing, which is not true, Iran unlike Iraq has been preparing for foreign invasion since after their relationship went sour with US, so they invested a lot in defense, Iraq never thought his so called allies would invade him, so two different scenarios.
