I suspect Kanu will be pardoned but the government wants his gragra to soften.

He was calling for bloodshed. I won't be surprised if it led to war. There would probably have been a pogrom against the Northerners in Igbo land. There will be reprisals against Igbos in the North. It won't end well.

There's nothing like peace, even if injustice exists.

All injustice get expiry date. God's kingdom na hin sure pass (Read Matthew 6:10, 2 Peter 3:13, Revelations 21:3-4)

It seemed Tinubu signed a deal with the Devil.

The defence minister was the immediate past governor of Zamfara state, the state that is most infested with bandits. It should be considered the bandit capital of Nigeria.

The defence minister while as governor, was suspected of having dealings with the bandits.

I suspect Tinubu offered the minister this post in exchange for a peaceful election. They would not disrupt the elections.

By making him the defence minister, he has employed a wolf to look after sheep.

I suspect that Tinubu would go after the bandits with gusto in his second and final term. Let's see what will happen.

When was the last time he released a single?

Na that one Jesus tell you to preach? (Read John 17:16)

Doctrine of Hellfire is blasphemous. The wages sin pays is death.

The doctrine that all righteousness go to heaven isn't also scriptural.

That 33% compound interest is pure savage! There's no other word for it.

It might be best Access bank takes the defendants to the highest court (to stall things) but settle out of court so that the defendants, who might prefer a quick payday do not wait endlessly.

This case has been ongoing since 2004! Who knows if and when the supreme court will pronounce judgment.

Hardeybohwarley:
Even though her action is commendable, we need to let go of such mentality as it doesn't work in saner climes and better organisation in Nigeria.

I find it hard to see why an employer will be expecting me to show appreciation for receiving a salary I toiled for.

Was the employer thanking me while I was doing the job.

I don't just think it's the salary.

The salary might be generous (above the going rate), and she might treat her employees very well.

The message sounds genuine and not forced.

However. If it's stems from abuse or intimidation, that's a different matter.

adamkkk:
wrong

u used d wrong vpn

forget dat traffic crap

I stand by what I wrote.

If I made a mistake, it was that I should have used my laptop to register with Tiktok. Laptops don't use sim cards so may be deceived by a VPN.

The initial registration is what matters the most. So, if you registered with a laptop using a VPN, it would consider you as a UK account.

There may be a downside though. If you now start browsing Tiktok on your Nigerian sim, it may send you lots of Nigerian traffic.

jmoore:
1 good fighter jet can do better than 500,000 troops. Our military lack intelligence.

The people in Bornu do believe the army can do better and are disappointed with them.

The problem with military jets is that they are just too powerful. They are fighting against what can be considered guerillas, so they are not a conventional army. That means you always have civilains around. Lots of civilians will get killed

This has happened a lot of times already. The power of a helicopter gunship is frightening enough, and you now upgrade to figher jets, it would be a massacre.

Nevertheless, I do believe the army is underperforming due to greed, medocrity and poor morale. Yes, poor intelligence may be part of it but a bigger problem may actually be the poor response to good intel.

The army is informed that a group of Boko Haram fighters in their 100s are heading to a town or even their military base and nothing is done to stop them. Why are laser guided missiles? Why not send a drone to intercept and decimate them?

N5,000 is voted daily for their feeding. What's the quality of their feeding? I won't be surprised if it does not pass N2K. Tinubu won't do much as he does not want a coup. If a lot of the higher ups are only interested in enriching themselves, then you have a problem.

Proudlyngwa:
Trust me they will obliterate villagers and call it bandit enclave
DOA

They would have to prove. Obliteration does not mean annihilation.

I should have used a better word.

Angelfrost:
How much are Boko Haram and other terrorists spending or budgeting on their own arms and logistics that's making them far better than our entire military?!!


...Cos, this is not adding up at all!

I'm still wondering what Navy and Airforce do with their own budgetary allocations, cos they practically do next to nothing in this fight against insurgency.

What the islamist lack in weapons, they make up in zeal. They are idealogy driven by religion which is probably the greatest or in this case, the worst form of motivation.

For instance, after the Taliban took over Afghanistan when the Americans left, many felt their economy would collapse after moat foreign aid dried up. It did not. Why?

The new government ensured taxes were collected, and not just diverted by the tax collectors, or not collected at all. This saw a massive increase in revenue and they could survive without foreign aid.

It is with the same type of discipline and conviction they fight the war.

It is not that the army isn't having successes but are overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. An army commander said they would need 500,000 troops on ground to deal with these islamists.

amazingspiderma:
So what are we going to do with this information?

After they will be shouting what are your governors doing with the money?

Why can't they ask the same question for Defense.

The amount is stingy. A country like Nigeria at war needs at least 3% of its GDP spent on the military.

The alternative may be for the country to try an extremely economic snd efficient.way to achieve results.

Give the military targets, and cash rewards for achieving those targets

1billion for every bandit camp they obliterate for instance. It should be given to the soldiers that carry out the operation. 500k each for the privates. It could be N5m for the generals. I am just dropping ideas.

States could also get involved, provide some form of incentives.

For the Northeast where they are fighting religious islamists, extremely radical incentives can also be used. Dealing with that crowd is hard. These are guys driven by idealogy. Worse, there are plenty of them.

An army high up said up to 120,000 terrorists have been captured since the start of the war. The numbers are insane.

All these are ideas. They will definitely need finetuning.

Twitter just rolled out a new feature that shows the country you’re tweeting from and it’s exposing a lot of accounts.

Turns out many profiles we all assumed were Americans or Nigerians were actually tweeting from completely different countries, pushing narratives and propaganda from the outside.

Even if you use a VPN, Twitter will flag it. A question mark icon will appear on your location, indicating your real region couldn’t be verified.

The timeline is about to get very interesting.

I tried setting up a UK tiktok account on my phone using a VPN. Tiktok wasn't fooled. It treated my account as Nigerian.

Then I found the answer: Tiktok sends you traffic based on your sim card. If it's a UK sim card, it sends you mostly UK traffic.

I bought a UK sim card and the problem was resolved.

Perhaps, twitter, now X uses a similar system.

FarahAideed:
, this is what we get for allowing that Buhari lead fir 8 years , billlions of dollars funneled from our treasurry to fund Islamic terrorism

There's absolutely no evidence of this. The only reason why you have such assertions is because he is a Northern Muslim.

He actually had greater success against Boko Haram than Jonathan.

mohims:
Wow! The place suits him well. He will be humbled here. Na fura da nono he go dey drink most times. If he dares to be arrogant over there and starts misyarning, I can bet my life that they will give a good beating to reset that his terrorist brain

He shouldn't never have been sent there, considering his anti-Northern rhetoric.

Nevertheless, after tasting prison for years, he by now should know how to play the game: with money, Nigerian prison life can be comfortable, but you'd still be denied your freedom. Some rich souls spend their time not in prison but in a hospital.

Sangoamadioha1:
What is without physical exhibit
The exhibit is already showing in your blood so what other evidence do they need to know that you are a drug user

It does not work like that.

In most countries, the anti-drug agencies target drug dealers and not users. There is a minimum amount of drugs that you can possess that will be considered criminal, like 200mg of coke (that was just an example). The law will presume that smaller quantities than that is for self use and not for sale.

Drug users are considered victims of the drug trade, and not not perpetrators.

Gotocourt:
This man is not mad, can you imagine

At a psychiatric hospital, a madman raped a nurse in broad daylight.

Nothing could stop him.

It is more common than you think.

Sirchiboy:
When people die. Where do they go. I want to know.

Thanks for asking this question.
When I was young around 12 years of age, I stumbled upon a pamplet in my older sister's room.

The topic was : Where are the Dead

I started reading it and it was there I saw the first ever Bible verse I was to ever memorise:" A living dog is better than a dead lion. The living know that they shall die, but the dead are conscious of nothing at all." (Eccl 9:4,5) It is even more detailed at Eccl 9:10).

So, the dead are conscious of nothing at all. It makes sense. God told Adam and Eve that they would both die of they ate of the tree of good and bad. Adam and Eve both ate of the tree and God told him that "dust you are and to dust he shall return." (Genesis 3:19). Life was a gift from and he forsook it the moment they disobeyed God.

if you have further questions, you're free to ask me here.

BondRiv:
Your arguments go against reason. If it was costing them so much and they were benefiting nothing, why were they still there? Were you born yesterday and trying to learn how the world works? Even what you dismissed as a mere projection of power is very important in this world of perceptions. Image is everything. They were there for much more.

Please give me an example of what the French will benefit for sending troops to Mali? Start.

It is an erroneous belief that a country must have something to gain when they assist another.

Based on what you said, Nigeria should have folded its arms when civil war erupted in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

This are no longer the days of the Cold War when Western countries courted dictators to prevent them from becoming leftist Socialist states.

Once the Cold War ended, support of these sons-of-bitches dictators ended as well. Mugabe and Mobutu were just two examples.

Afriifa:
They can't even pretend to attack Quranic schools to make it not look like a Christian Genocide

Banditry has more to do with crime and ethnicity than religious.

The Fulani bandits to fight for Fulani herdsmen interest. These herdsmen were finding their livelihood threatened by Hausa whose gripe was the cattle of these herdsmen munching on their crops.

With the Fulani being a minority in the North, the Hausas were always dominant Are the Hausas Christians? No.

Bandits thrives in the North, especially in Muslim majority. The Hausas bear the most brunt. This isn't a religious issue

Muslims suffer the most from the terrorist in the Northeast, and banditry in the Northwest.

No one is denying that Christians aren't being killed. Why the silence about Muslims bring killed as well?

It is to ensure that the religious narrative supplants the truth.

He was a notorious during his youth.

Tabloids were always carrying his escapades.

I think he was spoilt. I think his dad died quite early, so was overcompensated by being doted on.

I think Tinubu signed a deal with the Devil.

I suspected he must have had a deal with Matawalle for support to ensure bandits did not scuttle the elections in areas where they hold sway in exchange for this post.

He isn't qualified for this post in anyway.

BondRiv:
Nothing is free. Don't be naive.

Now, that the Islamist are about to takeover Bamako, do your maths.

What exactly were the French getting in return?

What many here fail to understand is that the French are actually giving more than they are taking.

These Francophone are a projection of power by France, and nothing else.

Do you know the last time the CFA was devalued? What exactly are the French benefiting in Mali? Putting boots on ground is very expensive.

I calculated that every soldier the sent the US sent to Iraq or Afghanistan equated to $1m in spending. When the US had about 130,000 soldiers in Iraq, it was spending around $130bn yearly. For the French, let's put a figure of $500,000 per soldier. Just placing 5,000 soldiers on ground would cost the French treasury about $2.5bn a year,

Macron was dumbfounded when the generals kicked out the French army. It made no sense.

Instead, it turned to Russia for help. Putin, whose rrmy is bugged down in Ukraine agreed to take the French place. Was Putin doing it for free? What was Putin getting in return?

The court showed mercy indeed. All is well that ends well.

This is much better than any death penalty that would have made him a martyr and his tomb a center for pilgrimage by his minions.

Thank you President Tinubu. Thank you Late President Buhari (that lured, captured and caged the terrorist in a legendary manner).

Even the Igbos suffered.

Sit-at-home-Mondays was an insenstive blow to the hardworking and industrious Igbos. IPOB only thought of themselves.

The blood of all the innocent victims he brought death upon will now let him and those who've been cheering him up have peace for the rest of lives.

Very wicked man. He is the type that doesn't mind wasting others lives but would work hard to protect his own.

The ungrateful wretches are paying a big price today.

The French placed troops on your soil for free and were assisting you fight these Islamists. You now kicked them out.

Many here and elsewhere were cheering that decisions saying that Mali was standing up to their colonizers.

I don't know which was worse : Americans not wanting black americans to fight in both the First and second wotld wars or the Mali generals kicking out the French army?
