The dead terrorist should be allowed to continue enjoying his allocation of 72 virgins in the bowels of hell, so there is no need to exhume his delighted cadaver.

Rape is a terrible crime worthy of the death penalty, but that said, it is highly doubtful that an elderly grandmother could ever become the victim of rape, because a sane man would be unable to feel any arousal in the presence of his grandmother.

Who regards your statements.

Take your L in peace..as you mock people the violence will meet you..and your LOVED ones.

E sure.

Warmest regards. Always nice to meet friendly natives.

So being in USA insulates you from tragedy. You go collect wella...na time. ..you will be evading it and it will come for you. Those that received, Tinubu and shared £50 ,shouting mandate in UK are still crying till today. You small

It may interest you to know that I have never participated in any election anywhere on earth in my entire life. I have always felt that the outcome of elections is usually predetermined, and thus not liable to change in any way regardless of which way I vote.

That said, I again thank you for the best wishes you have expressed. May the rest of your day be enjoyable!

Kalashnikov49:
Sunday IGBOHO is a content creator. Your people are being kidnapped. Killed and exterminated senselessly.

I LOVE it...you yourself will be kidnapped like that General..

Na time..

Thanks for the best wishes, good sir. Hopefully the kidnappers have their US travel documents in order, so that they can meet up with me as you passionately yearn to see.

The retired general should never have embarked on non-essential road travel in northern Nigeria where terrorist activity is high. He was returning from a wedding ceremony, of all things, when he ran into that terrorist ambush. If the general had merely sent a cash gift and his best wishes to the couple getting married, there would have been no hard feelings, and the man would be alive today.

Non-essential road travel would include weddings, funerals, graduations, parties of any sort, reunions, excursions, or social outings. The general KNEW that Nigeria is in the midst of an undeclared war in which enemy combatants have adopted guerrilla tactics that rely on the element of surprise, thus his decision to take a road trip was a MAJOR blunder on his part.

May the soul of the departed rest in peace.

Does anyone notice that a vehicle belonging to Chinese immigrants was at the heart of the escalation that resulted in gunfire?

Let me don my conical thinking cap top ponder....

That’s a good one coming from Biafrans!

It’s becoming clear that Monday alone will not deliver the much needed attention and suggestions across the region has welcomed 3 day sit at home which should be Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Measure will cause a devastating effect on the South East and Nigerian economy, and will force the FG and state to come to the table.

Moreover, elections should be ignored. Biafrans should not be voting in a Nigerian election.

If Biafra must come, big sacrifices need to be made.

Don't you feel it would be more effective to have an expanded 7 days sit-at-home law, whereby nobody in the affected area is allowed to leave their house for any purpose, UNLESS Nnamdi Kanu signs a personalized letter of permission to stand up that must be printed on Sokoto Prison letterhead paper?

On a related note, can anyone conform the rumor that jailed terrorist instigator Nnamdi Kanu is already fluent in both Hausa and Fulani dialects, and is thus qualified to contest for the exalted Seriki Dan Fulani of Sokoto Penitentiary traditional title?

WizardOfNG:
We all must be brave and responsible to demand Northerners in the NC and NW end insecurity or join Niger Republic and their Sahel nation affiliates.

How is it not clear the North, leaders and followers, is in bed with terror which is the main reason insecurity they are causeinf Nigeria is not ending?

It is not everything about Kanu I reject. His approach of fighting crime with criminality and murder is what I reject.

Nigeria, if our human resources is of the right calibre, can unite to take the North to task and demand they shape up or ship out.

Can they really stop the South breaking away if we unite to tell them we are fed up of their murderous brigandage of Nigeria?

The bolded sentence above is the truth that Kanu's cult members find so difficult to accept.

The landing appeared smooth and normal, but then the nose wheel seemed to lose steering authority, causing the mammoth plane to veer off into the grass. Damn that fire was so quick to engulf the plane. The crew stood no chance.

sleek214:
Bunch of unprofessional soldiers. Use drone to comb the place.... Clowns

They likely have drones aloft in the area to direct their geographical focus, but they also wish to carry out a show of force to prevent a recurrence of that mass abduction.

kpankpangolo:
After watching degenerate content like this, you children come back to litter threads with nonsense like drunks.

No be small ting.my brother. Thanks for stopping by.

Naijahero1:
Provide the evidence. You chose the path of lies and we chose the path of truth. The truth is what is what is playing out in the Oyo forest today. When you jail the truth you live with death.

If you are trying to claim that you saw NONE of the numerous online videos of Kanu instigating his cult followers to "burn Nigeria down", and to "kill the police and military", then you must have been living on Planet Uranus all this time.

Likewise if you want to try and claim that you never saw any of Kanu's online videos urging his gunmen to shoot Igbo people who ventured out in defiance of his illegal "sit at home" house arrest reign of terror in Igboland, then you obviously occupy an alternate reality of your very own.

Show me di law! Show me di law !

Chygozdegreat:
Kanu is bigger than the whole oduduwa

Yes, Kanu is far bigger than all the cockroaches and rats infesting his jail cell where his destiny is to die as an old man

Naijahero1:
How can you claim you are fighting banditry but you're jailing the people condemning bandits and their evil acts? Do you know 99% of Nnamdi Kanu's videos and speeches are against bandits and fulani herdsmen? Who now is sponsoring bandits if not those refusing to fight them, releasing them, giving them amnesty and calling them repentant prodigal sons? Even in the face of terrible consequences like the kidnap of school children and teachers in Oyo, some people are still fighting the truth.

You might be confused or under the influence of stale palm wine, going by this preposterous hypothesis that you decided to propound here.

Kanu was jailed for urging gunmen to shoot innocent civilians who were unable to comply with Kanu's illegal "sit at home" house arrest order.

Kanu was also jailed for urging his cult followers to murder police officers and soldiers, several of who were in fact killed on his orders.

Kanu is a pompous little man with a gigantic mouth and a tiny brain, whose lifetime jail sentence was well earned and well deserved.

The new ISIS Fashion show has been launched for the good year 2026, and finally we get to meet the genius who created this new and exciting genre of fashion. Fellow Men of Culture will surely agree that this man is truly a visionary who shows the way to a brave new world.

Comments and questions most welcome.

Peterobiisathie:
that is the causes of Nnamdi Kanu incarceration

Exactly. The adulation of a screaming crowd is a powerful drug that encourages cult leaders to imagine they are all-powerful, until that moment when they are confronted with reality and the crowd disperses in panic, leaving the cult leader to face his fate alone.

MKO Abiola, who won the Nigerian presidential election of June 12 1993, also fell into the same trap of being encouraged by the adulation of boisterous crowds, who all melted away when the soldiers showed up to arrest MKO, and place him in a solitary cell where he ultimately died.

Mirasteel:
I hope they won't kill him one day? once you raise your voice in this country you will automatically become a target to those monstrous politicians.

The intoxicating effect of a cheering crowd has led many political protesters to their untimely deaths. VDM is allowing himself to be intoxicated by his supporters, and that is taking him down a very perilous path.

Dogalmighty17:
VDM needs to thread with caution. Those soldiers are from the guards brigade Abuja. They generally don't look too fondly upon protests like this. As much as VDM has a constitutionally guaranteed right to protest, he can't prevent hoodlums from taking advantage of the march to cause mischief.
While I share his sentiments that Tinubu must not continue to be Nigeria's president, the only acceptable way to enforce this change remains at the ballot box.

VDM should walk his talk and advocate for as many who feel the same way he does, to ensure that they have their PVC and must vote! It is a certainty that practically everyone who is marching with him as seen in this video, do not have their voters card or are even inclined to vote. That is where he should channel his energy on.

I agree with you. All it takes is for one soldier to lose his cool and open fire, to leave bodies lying lifeless in the African sun.

Political protest is a very dangerous endeavor when that protest is met by men with rifles, whose mood is tense.

VDM needs to be really careful so that he does not provoke the sleeping lion.

This video clip showing a leisurely drive through Libreville, the capital of Gabon, highlights the beauty of the city, the excellent state of the roads there, the cleanliness of the streets, and most notably, the complete absence of jobless young men that are a fixture of most other African cities.

This city reminds me of some of my favorite drives in Southern California. Absolutely beautiful, and most importantly, safe, compared to other African cities.

The pledge by Peter Obi that he would negotiate with bloodthirsty terrorists, if true, will come to be regarded by historians as the final nail in the coffin of Peter Obi's political ambitions in Nigeria. This naïve declaration of political weakness will not go unpunished, as the 2027 presidential elections draw near.

The only language understood by terrorist practitioners of violence, is when they find themselves faced with overwhelming violence of the sort that triggers panic and flight. Peter Obi's signal that he envisions a "negotiated" truce with terrorists, is the clearest indication thus far that Mr. Obi lacks the leadership qualities expected of any nation's elected president.

For declaring his willingness to "negotiate" with slave-raiding sadistic terrorists, Peter Obi, has effectively disqualified himself from all future presidential contests in Nigeria. By scoring this own-goal, Peter Obi's destiny will now become an ignominious consignment to the dustbin of history. The Nigerian opposition party would now be wise to nominate a NEW presidential candidate to address this debacle by replacing Peter Obi in a timely fashion.

HacheNoire:
Please do, you never forget that experience! It’s rich and got different terrains.

Do Libreville, Franceville and Port Gentil.

I am taking notes, and this helps alleviate the mood of depression that I feel when I read the unrelenting bad news about Nigeria. I even dreamed about visiting Gabon the other night, perhaps due to all the YouTube videos I have been binge-watching. Something tells me that my destiny lies in that peaceful corner of our planet.

HacheNoire:
Outside that, the competition in Gabon is very low. It’s a virgin land where you can exploit. Even though their wild life is being depleted by Chinese, most is still intact.

When you visit a place called Gamba, you will still see elephants walking around like goats. There you find Total energy. They have a very rich wildlife.

Don’t trip for the beaches in Libreville, it’s the dirtiest. Get to the ones in Port- Gentil and you will be marveled. You still find some cleaner ones after Mouila.

These insights that you are offering are treasured. It is sad to learn that the Chinese are wreaking their usual destruction on Gabon's wildlife, but then it would be difficult to name any nation on any continent with pristine nature that is not being ravaged by the relentless China infestation. Hopefully they will be booted out before they get too entrenched there.

I hope to visit Gabon for the first time soon, to have a look at the place and get a better idea of land purchase options in the rural areas.

HacheNoire:
You are going to enjoy! Beautiful people, landscape and virgin land.

Their a lot foreigners in Gabon so you wouldn’t have a problem- I personally call it “land of expatriates”

I have been watching Youtube videos about Gabon, and I have already fallen in love with the place. The beaches, nature reserves, and clean, safe cities, all look like paradise to this village boy looking to find a safe haven that reminds me of home.

Were it not for the winds of war currently blowing in Nigeria, I would never consider selling off all I own in Nigeria, and making plans to avoid Nigeria for the rest of my life, but current events are forcing that previously unthinkable decision upon me.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv2Jqf-TSuc

Nigeria is, by gradual increment, becoming too dangerous even for occasional visits, so I am giving serious thought to the notion of divesting completely and selling off what modest holdings I own in Nigeria, as a prelude to emigrating forever from Nigeria, never to return for any reason, even on a short visit, such is the level of mortal danger now apparent all over Nigeria.

If recent mass abductions now spreading to all areas of Nigeria are anything to go by, a scenario in which the entire country of Nigeria degenerates into a Somalia or Sudan scenario cannot be ruled out. Life is too short to be lived in fear of imminent attack, hence my decision to look at alternative African nations where one can live in peace.

As a EU citizen, I am blessed with the right to live the balance of my life in Europe, yet, as an African village boy at heart, I would much prefer to live in West or Central Africa where the seasons suit me better than those bitter winter months seen in the northern hemisphere.

In my research of possible alternate places to live in West Africa, I narrowed my search down to Gambia, Ghana, and Gabon. Since peace is the number one criterion that will determine my choice of where to live when in Africa, I have tentatively ruled out Gambia, which had a military coup in 2017, while I also ruled out currently peaceful Ghana, due to its close proximity to the Sahel region of Africa where the Islamist terror cancer is spreading without any sign of abating any time soon.

This leaves Gabon, a French speaking nation that straddles the Equator, and is covered by tropical jungles over 80% of its land mass. The close proximity of Gabon to the Cameroons, where Islamist terror is rearing its ugly head, does give me pause to think, but thus far at least, that horrid Islamist cancer has not been seen in Gabon. To the east, Gabon is not far from the war-torn DRC, though peace prevails in Gabon all the same.

The capital of Gabon, Libreville, is one of the cleanest, safest, and most orderly capital cities in all of Africa. For a nature lover like me, Gabon's vast forests , nature reserves and national parks would be a paradise of sorts to this rural dweller who can't stay long in any city. Having detailed my rationale for considering Gabon as my new base when in Africa, I have some questions to ask from any Nairaland readers who are familiar with that nation.

Specifically, how much in US dollars would it cost to buy a two-bedroom house sitting on an acre or two of land in a rural area of Gabon that is removed from the city, yet close enough for visits to the city when the need arises. In my mind's eye, I hope to find a place in a Gabonese village that is not far from the forest, and preferably close to a river where I can indulge my passion for canoe exploration.

Any thoughts on the feasibility of my establishing my African home in Gabon would be enormously appreciated. I don't speak French, which I know would be a drawback, but all the same, I am drawn to the idea of taking up residence in Gabon, the more I research that Equatorial nation. Thanks in advance for any thoughts that seasoned travelers of Africa might be willing to share with me about the forest nation of Gabon.

gulfer:
Last man standing, head of town

He probably trained his ears to recognize the sound of approaching motorcycles, which would be his cue to leap out the window of the house he occupies, and then flee to the bush where he would stay for a couple of days before returning to resume his landlord duties as the sole inhabitant of a ghost town.

Most men with huge beards look identical, so the man sporting that hoodie and gigantic bushy beard while sitting in an airport waiting area could be literally anyone.

meobizy:
Good news. The kidnappers are cowards. If they know you’ll shoot back, they’ll head for the hills. Too many Nigerians are docile and will rather pray for help than put action into any goal.

The issue is not so much that Nigerians are "docile", but that they are not legally empowered to possess the type of weaponry that they would need to successfully confront terrorists who are armed with military assault rifles.

The AK47 is a fearsome weapon of war, whose 7.62x39mm rounds blow gaping holes through cars and walls. At ranges greater than 50 meters, a trained shooter wielding an AK can overwhelm numerous civilian militiamen firing semi-auto or pump-action shotguns. While the shotgun is devastatingly effective during close-quarters firefights that erupt within 40 yards, the tubular magazines of most shotguns hold a dozen shells or less, and require constant reloading as shots are touched off during combat.

The AK rifle, on the other hand, feeds off a 30-round magazine, of which several are typically carried in a shoulder harness by combatants. A skilled AK rifleman can swap out empty ammo magazines with full magazines in scant seconds, whereas a shotgunner must continuously feed single shells into the tubular magazine of his shotgun while firing, to prevent running empty in the heat of the moment.

With these sobering ballistic facts in mind, the wisest option available to any law-abiding Nigerian civilian who owns at best a hunting shotgun, would be to flee rather than fight, at the very first sound of approaching automatic rifle-fire. For an unarmed civilian in Nigeria who has NO firepower to deploy when bad guys draw near, the ONLY courses of action that will preserve life and limb, would be to seek cover and hide, or better still, to flee for dear life.

Sccarrr:
You're asking others to use critical thinking, but you're starting with the assumption that it's fake and then looking for reasons to support that belief.

Skepticism is healthy. Assuming everything is a conspiracy without evidence isn't critical thinking ,it's just speculation in the opposite direction.....post your evidence

I rest my case

The first casualty of war, as the old saying goes, is the truth. Any time when the winds of war blow, it is to be expected that unsubstantiated rumors will fly. The person you rightly corrected for expressing undue skepticism over reports of a successful police operation meant no harm, but is merely a victim of the rumor factory that is in full swing all over Nigeria, as this terrorist invasion continues, spreading fear in its wake.

This is the sort of situational awareness that ALL communities across Nigeria must adopt whenever men in uniform are sighted because as shown in the Oyo State school kidnapping, those men in uniform might NOT be genuine soldiers, but terrorists masquerading as soldiers.

By IMMEDIATELY alerting the military to the presence of any men in uniform that are sighted where they are not usually seen, communities can prevent the sort of mass abduction that has now become the calling card of Islamist terror gangs planning to maraud and kidnap innocent people.

It is essential that the Nigerian military should publish a 24-hour emergency hotline that civilians can use to contact the military any time men in uniform are seen in groups, to verify quickly whether those men are legitimate soldiers or terrorists masquerading as soldiers. Such an emergency verification hotline could also be used by motorists who spot what appear to be military checkpoints ahead of them on the highway.

Whenever a military checkpoint is spotted along any highway in Nigeria, motorists should be able to quickly phone the military hotline, and seek urgent clarification after stating their exact location. If the military authorities then inform the motorists that NO authorized military checkpoint had been mounted in the specific location described by the motorists, it would then be time for some James Bond driving for those motorists to turn back and flee BEFORE entering the trap set by terrorists disguised in military uniform.

That police squad leader is a brave and charismatic man who inspires his men to become fearless warriors in this good fight against the Islamist hordes that are bent on conquering Nigeria as they did in Mali, Niger and Chad.
