so the resources there is of no use to ordinary Nigerians..
Let the USA join the party.
Since we no wan get sense

I agree completely. The US military is adequately equipped to restore sanity in northern Nigeria, which can start with wiping out illegal miners and smugglers who gift military guns to terrorist in northern Nigeria.

princepee:
Nonsense theory..
Of what benefits is the minerals to Nigerians..
The gold they are mining in zamfara where's the money?

The Gold, lithium and tantalite mined in Zamfara state and other northern Nigerian states are smuggled out of Nigeria aboard helicopters, which are also used to ferry in light weapons to arm Islamist militants who are used to forcibly depopulate areas where those ILLEGAL and FOREIGN precious metal miners have detected more underground reserves using low-flying aircraft.

Armaggedon:
There is really Christian genocide in Nigeria and the US is justified to intervene. This is something we should all acknowledge. But then we all know their interest is the motivation. US interest is not necessarily gaining control of Nigeria's resources to use them but to prevent their economic competitors, China from gaining access to it and security a long term supply chain.

The west have always backed the Islamic north as a proxy to control the resources of Nigeria but that has backfired, as the north has become extremists in Islam and increasingly anti-west in politics and pro Russian like much of the sahel. Remember the north are the strongest voice against Western military base in Nigeria and champions of two-state solutions for Palestine. Also remember their protest with the Russian flag a year ago.

US fear that if the Muslims end up controling Nigeria ad-infinitum, with all the countries oil and gas resources, they will align economically with China and militarily with Russia, with some consequential alliance built with Iran. With this China can have a large supply chain that can last for decades and sustain military confrontation with the west.

The US is gradually cutting off China supply chain starting with Venezuela. Nigeria's own will end in a partition. Just watch out. I have written about this more than a year before but you'll love del*sions

Your thinking and comprehension of global geopolitics are deep, and this is another reason I enjoy reading opinions written in this forum.

davillian:
he should just declare mondays as public holiday's .
so it would be like he is the one giving them the monday sit at home

No be small ting. Even if the "Sit-At-Home" reign of terror is expanded in the affected areas to designate FOUR days of every week as no-movement days, the court decision to hand down a life sentence in jail to terror instigator Nazi Kanu will not be reduced by a single day.

The logic of preventing by force of arms one's own people from exercising their democratic right to free movement , in a bid to exert negotiating leverage against a federal government's judiciary whose offices are located hundreds of miles away in the federal capital, hints at simplistic, politically naive thinking.

It is not likely that Kanu will die in jail. He still has enough cult follower numbers to impact presidential elections, so the most likely outcome is that either President Tinubu or his successor in office WILL pardon Kanu, AFTER having him sign an undertaking NEVER to call for killings again in the future. After missing his beautiful wife while locked away in Sokoto prison for enough time to learn the value of humility, Kanu will sign ANYTHING to walk free, whenever that opportunity arises.

Wallade:
Mandela wasn't convicted of Terrorism (Nelson Mandela was not technically convicted under a "terrorism" statute, but in 1964, he was convicted of sabotage, conspiracy to overthrow the government, and acting to further communism during the Rivonia Trial).

Mandela didn't set up a separatist army within a sovereign country called Nigeria and order the ESN army to hunt and kill all Nigerian law enforcement officers (police, army, navy, airforce, customs etc) , even if they are also igbos. Mandela didn't set up a radio Biafra to radicalize and incite igbos against the Country called Nigeria and spread lies, fabricated stories and hate.

Don't ever compare Mandela with Nnamdi KANU.

These are some historically informed facts that will be studiously ignored by those who prioritize cult worship mythology over empirically verifiable reality that contrasts with their perceptions.

Nnamdi Kanu has the blood of his own people on his hands, and ANYONE who still regards Nazi Kanu, the convicted and jailed terrorist, as a heroic figure, demonstrates support for the killing of innocent civilians under the pretext of violently seeking a Utopian "a greater good", exactly as Kanu urged his cult followers to do in countless online ranting videos, prior to his being brought to overdue justice.

Every one of Kanu's brainwashed cultists poses a significant danger to their fellow citizens, and should be accorded close scrutiny by law enforcement agencies who can act preemptively as needed.

Wizardslayer:
The best method to stop these sit at home is to release mazi nnamdi kanu, and on his release he'll visit all the markets in the south east on Monday to earmark the end to sit at home.

The earlier they do that the better for the whole Nigeria.

Soludo should stop trying to use force and federal might to end sit at home.

You will have better luck getting your cult leader out of jail if you stand in the middle of the street and bash your head against a metal street sign post repeatedly until your demands are met. If that idea makes no sense, then neither does your idea of locking your people indoors, as a means of forcing anyone to do anything.

Inflicting economic damage on an entire geographical region in the name of protest or blackmail will only serve to entertain and amuse those who live outside the affected areas, especially those who hold the keys to the cell where the cult leader is a guest of the government.

Sick man, it takes a special type of mental disability to rape an elderly person.

He does have a kind of demonic look about him for sure

RemoteNaija:
Driving from Lagos to Abuja on these dangerous roads just for 'Content' and to show off a car? The risk-to-reward ratio doesn't make sense. The fuel money alone is someone's monthly salary. These boys have money, but safety should come first.

Illiterates are generally blissfully ignorant about current events in their own back yard, so they go about their lives without a care in the world, until such time as reality catches up with them.

davillian:
hope say its our local egbo o

Absolutely 100% locally grown with zero chemicals used or added at any stage. Anything else would be a gamble with one's life.

Natural or none at all, is my credo when it comes to that wild wood weed.

davillian:
oh i see d beer is for step down the weed is for getting high nice combo...
you cant get high on weed and still get high on alcohol

Like I said I only drink one can of beer every 6 months, so it has no relation to my love for weed in edible form.

CodeTemplarr:
Hmmm. Islamabad is a place of peace. The more boom the shakatah, the more akhubahu the allahu.

This is poetry. You must read it more than once to get the flow and appreciate the verbal gymnastics deployed in the above quote.

Guestmale:
There's nothing beautiful in this picture, this is just unnecessary punishment. And his husband approve this?

Those bony people look like concentration camp survivors. Their faces look like dried-up skulls, and their legs appear insect-like, reminiscent of cockroach legs, so I agree that ANYONE who thinks that emaciated AIDS-victim look is attractive in ANY way, is a candidate for a long term of sedated confinement in a secure mental institution.

It is baffling that rich Americans in the public eye, who can afford the very best fitness trainers and dieticians to guide their journey to physical perfection through regular exercise and balanced diet ALONE, still wind up using themselves as hapless human guinea pigs by ingesting experimental laboratory-concocted potions that very quickly turn them into walking cadavers.

Guestmale:
Is this due to old age, sickness or intentional weight loss?

This is a good question. The skeletal look these people strive to attain with dangerous drugs is a result of old age, clinical insanity, and starvation sickness caused by their drug of choice - Ozempic.

The results of abusing that newly concocted drug called Ozempic are extremely ugly and disgusting to look at, yet the victims see beauty queens in the mirror.

QuinQ:
The thing is, they are VERY happy looking that way. Many, like Oprah, have struggled with weight all their lives. Their happiness deoends entirely on how much they weigh..Then this wonderful drug came along. Oprah said this the happiest she's been in her life - because she's effortlessly skinny!

Wonderment. Well, I am 100% certain that the long-term side-effects of that body-wasting drug called Ozempic will only become public knowledge after people are irreversibly damaged and start to die from their desperation to look skeletal.

anonimi:
Are there any parallels between this Ozempic weight loss frenzy of white women and the bleaching craze of blacks

Does bleaching not have devastating kidney side effects?

Absolutely, bleach contains mercury which has devastating effects on the human body. The graveyard is full of people who abused skin bleach.

davillian:
dont take if you dont have the intention of getting high...
alcohol is for getting high or at least tipsy..

I hate the feeling of getting drunk, but that never happens when I drink one single short can of beer.

On the subject of getting high, I LOVE my high quality weed, but only in edible form, since smoking anything is destructive to health.

QuinQ:
You nailed it, except the unknown illness part. There is no unknown illness about it.
Same thing happened to Serena Williams - everyone thought she contracted a terrible disease! Same also Oprah. All Ozempic

It is mind-boggling to see that Western women continue to use that deadly wasting drug Ozempic, even AFTER they see examples of how it reduces its victims to skeletons. The side effects of Ozempic, particularly on a woman's face, are extremely ugly to behold.

Another sad example of Ozempic abuse is the wife of Harry, that former Royal Family member who went rogue and now lives in California. That woman called Migraine USED to be somewhat presentable, with some feminine curvature on her frame, but now Mrs. Migraine has morphed into SKELETOR, the Hunchback of Montecito.

ruggedtimi:
One or two bottles per week and drink more water than any other liquid.

Every 6 months to a year, I drink one can of beer. I suddenly get a craving for the taste of beer, which is always satisfied by one can of beer every few months.

Stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, boys and girls.

Let the fate of this one-time heavy drinker be a warning about the importance to stay clear of those two deadly poisons.

Cigarettes and alcohol have killed so many, yet even more refuse to learn from the grisly fate of those who went before them.

cr7lomo:
Ozempic

It is surprising that you are the only person to correctly identify what happened to Mrs. Obama, namely that she took that insidious weight loss drug called OZEMPIC, which leaves its victims looking SKELETAL.


Anyone who thinks that Mrs. Obama looks worrying should take a look at what OZEMPIC has done to Kelly Osbourne, daughter of recently deceased rocker Ozzy Osbourne.

Kelly Osbourne is still in her early 30s, yet that terrible drug called OZEMPIC has transformed her into an elderly and frail 95-year old.

OZEMPIC is one of the most destructive pharmaceutical products ever to be approved by the FDA for human use, bar none.

Yorubademon001:
Look for a quite place and sit down and ask yourself this question is there a places in nigeria they don't kidnapped?

Keep positive mind all the time even concerning your life ok

End

Your polite tone is a refreshing change, even when the opinion you express may differ from mine.

dequir:
Give one instance where someone you know have been kidnapped in Ondo State?

Just one good news, among many, from Ondo State, instantly your envy and jealousy reared up their ugly heads.

You need deliverance.

Your opinion is noted, and please accept my apologies for any distress that my factual words may have caused you.

Have a great day !

Yorubademon001:
Imagine how your brain is functioning no positive thinking,i hope you don't have kids yet

Kidnapping is rampant in Ondo State, but if you choose to overlook this fact, more power to you.

This would be a very beautiful and pleasant location in which to be kidnapped.

God1000:
Julius malema is right, the orange clown is a Satan, I hate him with passion

I just pity Nigerians who worship this man, of course he knows how to play religious card and deceive gullible christians

How people will worship fellow human being is beyond my understanding

When kidnapping gangs rule the highways, while terrorist hordes wipe out Nigerian villages and congregations, The willingness of beleaguered Nigerian citizens to welcome military forces dispatched by "Satan" can be viewed as an instinctive rational response to circumstances that become progressively more dire with each passing news cycle.

Pacesetter123:
Air support?
No no no,they shouldn't go there.
One time like that in that same Borno,the ground troops engaged the terrorists in a fierce gun battle.Advancing and forcing the enemy to retreat.The enemy then call for re-enforcement and regroup attacking the troops too.The ground troops then called for Air Support.But when the Air Components arrived,guess what happen?
They were dropping bomb on the ground troops thereby clearing the way for the terrorists to advance towards them and cause heavy casualties and carted away our military hardwares.
Till one soldier was hiding, making a video and shouting that the Air Force is bombing the ground army.
It was a terrible scene.
The Air Force later apologized that was a mistake.
The video and the news was here in this same forum that time.
So,the Air Force shouldn't go, unless they have undergone fresh training on map reading and interpretation,Coordinate interpretation and Recognizance.If not so,they shouldn't go.

The US military carries smoke grenades in various colors for signaling during battle, and moments before incoming ground attack aircraft appear on the battle scene to open fire, smoke grenades of a prearranged color will be deployed so the aircrews can avoid strafing the positions of friendly forces. This basic battlefield communication method is of course backed up with electronic communication devices talking to GPS beacons carried by troops.

Nigeria's military strategists overseeing this war on terror will surely by now have established failsafe communication methods with layered redundancy, that will prevent recurrences of the fiasco you described above. Therefore, regardless of the ever-present risk of friendly fire incidents, air support MUST be vectored to the battle space in fast response to any calls for help by ground troops.

ultim:
Do they wear body cam? Who's filming?
Looks a bit staged. Kudos though?

In my rank layman's opinion, this footage is legit and was in fact filmed amidst a running firefight during which a suicide bomber sprinted up on federal troops and nearly took out the cameraman.

Since body-cams are a rarity with Nigerian troops unless some of them privately purchase GoPro helmet-cameras, my guess is that someone held up a phone during this melee, as insane as that sounds.

morgstreme:
You have. Problems with English Comprehension obviously...

Where did I ever report how I am feeling

This is correct. English is not my first language. Apologies for the confusion.

nedekid:
Na wah, it is sad to watch.
What I see are a group of disorganized troops shooting blindly. A drone overhead even a dji drone would have given them more tactical awareness thereby providing advantage. Aircover would have given them decisive victory, imagine a MI 35 or even a tukano striking with machine guns and rockets.
Did you guys noticed that after the sucide bomber strike all the troops abandoned their positions and equipments, the comamding officer was pleading with them to hold their positions. I am sure those troops were eventually over run.
Now the question is how come a rag tag group can overrun or be on the offensive against a whole national army? It is as if those terrorist have the initiative.
During the time of euben balow and his gang of mercenaries, he explained of how they trained a bunch of Nigerian troops to be an offensive force going after boko haram morning afternoon and night, boko haram could not rest, always on the run, they attack them, then airlift troops to the escape position and the ambush them slautering them, then hand over reclaimed ground to regular Nigerian troops to hold. Another important point they made was that nigeria pilots were not rated to fly combat missions at night, so they had to bring in experienced pilots to lead night time strikes. In 3 months they recovered land as large as Belgium.
See, when government has the proper political will to solve this problem, they know what to do, Jonathan knew what to do and he almost solved the problem before buhari, apc came and canceled the mercenary contracts

Your insights into the South African Sandline and Executive Outcome operatives are educational to read, as are their observations about how poorly trained Nigerian air force pilots were at the time. Hopefully Nigerian military aviators are up to speed on night ops today over a decade hence.

djseanjohn77:
The most difficult war in this life is a war with people with no real direction, no true leader, no goals, headless mobs, savages. If you defeat them in one direction, some other ones will rise from another direction, you will just be left empty and clueless. they keep coming back no matter how many you kill. Guerilla warfare.

These points are so true, and taking into account the way terrorists can stash their weapons in the wilderness and then melt into civilian populace makes them that much harder to distinguish from innocent civilians, which in turn can lead to incidents of "collateral damage", whether intended or not.

dc23:
Clearly he knows it's a training video. Check the firing positions arranged in circular pattern. And not one enemy bullet managed to hit all the big machines and equipment sitting out there to make a metallic sound

Your perception might have a shred of plausibility were it not for the suicide bomber that blew himself up and destabilized the camera man. Even without the suicide bomber, the chaotic disarray in this clip, along with the distant pop and whine of incoming shots, are among the telling indications that this video clip depicts the real deal. Life and death in an instant war.

Typing:
K


That's the only way to motivate the Soldiers as their commander. If not the Soldiers for don retreat and run. That will give the enemies chance to take over the Military Camp

The man showed zero fear under serious sustained incoming fire. This is the kind of war hero that will earn a chest-full of valor medals later on.
