You showed no empathy

You showed no leadership

You never lead and failed to lead from the front like you have always boosted

You lost your own COAS and bunch of fine officers

Yet the CIC didn't seem it fit to attend , grace and lead Thier interment .

He didn't just miss a good chance to shoulder the army In it's trying time

He lost a chance to give confidence to troops , a lot of my gees at the front are pissed

The president could not show up at the burial of the COAS properly means nobody gives a hoot about them

A major, terrible , total miscalculation

Nigeria is a construct of Britain to serve her economically. Nigeria is a classic example of neocolonialism. When you fellows talk about "patriotism or love of country", you actually display how ignorant you lots are. Nigeria is no nation. We have Yoruba nation, Igbo nation, and rightly so because, a yoruba historian could tell you about the history of the yoruba people some 500 years ago. For those of you who claim Nigerian as your identity,
kindly tell me about the history of Nigeria as far back as 500 years ago? You simply can't,
without making reference to a tribe. When you use cliches like "Patriotism" or "love of country", these are lies you tell yourself to feel good. How many of you Patriots have seen the 1914 documents that amalgamated the northern and southern protectorates? For your information, the almagation was to last for 100 years. Meaning, Nigeria expired in 2014. Lord Lugard knew the north and south are different elements, but he joined them together so that the south (the richer country) could subsidize the north (the poorer country). This was a genius move because, it would mean that Britain would not be responsible for catering to the needs of the poor north. This is the basis in which One Nigeria was founded. And this mechanism is still obtainable today. But then, many here do not understand Nigeria. Nigeria is a crime against the south. And if you are a southerner in the Nigerian Army or supporting one Nigeria, go understand why Nigeria came into existence. When you understand the "why", you will also understand how foolish you've been.

I have just finished watching the videos online on the killing in Umuahia, Abia state and the videos I saw left me with so much disappointment. We never learn, do we?? I saw the Nigerian army on the streets, why ? with their Cobra APC, Hilux vehicles and all what's not, doing what? Harrassment of civilians, people raising hands to pass, I saw policemen on the street with long timbers, iron bars and sticks chasing people into their houses terrorizing civilians, same civilians that would have been critical assets in fusing together pieces of the true situation leading to the death of the slain officer of Nigerian police force. Critical pieces of intelligence and information have been destroyed by their unnecessary, unintelligent and barbaric show of force, the people now see the police and the security agencies as terrorist rather than patriots, friends, colleagues, neighbours and of course; fellow Nigerians.

Do we have brains in Nigeria intelligence services? do we have brains in power? do we have brains amongst the security agencies at all? The answer is no!, no and a capital letter no.What would I have done differently? I think this approach is better.


My own perspective;

In an already tensed situation, the goal right now is to investigate, arrest and bring the culprits to book, right?. In this instance, A team of four police hilux arriving the scene and men of the Nigerian mobile force(NPF) also comprising of detectives disembarks securing the parameter, the Nigerian army Cobra APC and a tactical reinforcement team just meters away incase of attacks from #UGM, situated at least away from the scene as backup where bullets start flying. The particular traffic lane where the incident took place will be cordon off to allow reduced vehicular traffic, collect the information and also to prevent attack from the unknown gunmen because they might surely attack.

A drone should be sent out as an eye on the sky to provide reconnaissance Incase of any attack on this location by UGM (By now every governor should be buying drones for the NPF) as detectives fan out with note pads, asking residents politely with same attitude of marketing officers quizzing shop owners and everyone around the crime scene what they saw, heard or imagined happened, who where the perpetrators?, how many in number? Guns they carried?, what where they wearing?, what was their getaway vehicle like?, Who did they kidnap?, why was the slain officer killed?.... Etc.

Which would have yielded more results and respect?

fabselad:
LoL so I must be a phone technician before knowing a difference between an Iphone and a samsung eh oga. I am asking if those JF17 have AESA radars? Advance datalink?
Everywhere we read, it is said the only variant of the JF17 considered as gen 4.5 is the block 3, which is not yet operational and it is still tested in China.
The radar used on the JF17 block 2 is the KLJ-7 V2, which is an upgrade of the KLJ-7 used in the block 1. THe KLJ-7-V2 is still a mechanically-steered planar array antenna and not an AESA. The KLJ-7 V2 is twice more powerful that the KLJ-7 and provides more fuctions and is more resistant to ECM.
We are not saying the JF17 block 2 is bad but lets call a spade a spade bro.

kabe1:
Do you think you're talking with your village people here?

How is it that you can claim with confidence that Nigeria bought and inducted Block III JF-17?

An aircraft that is not even in service with Pakistan.

Stormtrooper11:
Yhh. 70% corrrct. But they had military training. Read the tragedy of victory by brig. Gen alabi isama. My command by Gemeral Obasanjo got alot of falsehood. Obasanjo joined the war late.

QuietMynd:
U re somehow right.
Why don't those same army show up to disarm the same fulani herder militant whenever they go on a killing spree

Stormtrooper11:
Hmmm. Did i say he commanded the division? He commanded a brigade. I forgort the brigade number.

Stormtrooper11:
Absolutely correct. But they were 2000+. They formed a swimming school at 3rd marine commmando division occupation area. Issac boro's men were even involved in the invasion of mainland portharcourt in 1968!. His men were superb. Infact, they were called special forces. They were our first special forces

Illumined939:
If you want to verify whether the Nigerian Army is a sectional army,or not, go to any village in Plateau or Taraba state, dominated by Christians, and ask, "what role does the Nigerian Army play in the aftermath of any fulani attack?"
If you want to understand Nigeria, travel, ask questions, don't just stay on your phone, assuming. Go talk to poor Nigerians in remote villages that have at one time, endured the brunt of the Nigerian Army.

ugo4u:
I want to believe you're talking about the 1963 model, for me it was close to the best system of governance we had before the military struck. That been said the Swiss model is quite attractive, Canada also practice something similar.

NB:
The U.K route I was talking about is wrt to the union of Ireland, Britain and Scotland.

truthshots3:
Nice to see I generate such interests, but you need to sharpen your comprehension skills

https://www.nairaland.com/6550922/southern-governors-resolutions-acf-backs/2#101650407

To be truthful, most of you are not sufficiently intelligent to understand the world you live in.
I don't blame people for not being smart, but I don't debate them neither. I can educate you guys though, for a pay but I already have a job and I don't think you can match my salary.

kikuyu1:
Imo what we're ACTUALLY seeing is Israeli advertising!! There's no way of confirming anything apart from the short clips theyre showing us. The Hamas rockets also legitimise the killing of Palestinians, what Shlomo himself calls," mowing the lawn."
Btw, has anyone asked just HTF Hamas is TRULY firing those rockets from Palestine, the world's most HEAVILY surveilled place?
Informers, drones, micro drones,maybe even operational nano drones we've no idea about,near earth satellites and recon aircraft cover the wider region 24/7. Raggedy Palestinian kids somehow smuggle in or jury build their own rockets and LAUNCH them with Shlomo unawares?
I don't think so! The CHOSENITES are also advertising their Iron Dome system to gullible goyim.

Rich4god:
If you actually have a brain, you should know that no matter how big a land mass is, a blockade can successfully be set up. As along as it's not bordering an ocean, wch will make it difficult to block, every land, no matter how big, can be blocked.

Sizzorkay:
dude. you really are a low life. can't you ever respond to people's posts without insult and questioning their intelligence? what an A-hole you are.

Rich4god:
How do boko boys get fuel to drive all these gun trucks they are carrying around. Is it like there is a filling station under their custody or what.

I am not a military expert, but to be fair our govt don't what to crush boko haram.

During the civil war, Nig govt used a blockade as a source of weapon to get Biafrans to surrender. Since the govt knows that BH are mostly residing in sambisa and around lake Chad, why can't they together with Niger, Chad and Cameroon form a perimeter around those areas so as to block any form of movt to and from that area. Let's see how they can get their weapons, supplies or even launch an attack.

Except if the govt (like we all know already) are actually part of boko haram.

Omo this iron dome beats the usa patriot hands down

https://twitter.com/DrOlufunmilayo/status/1392204744685461506?s=19[/quote][color=#000099]Iron dome was a joint program of US & Israel.

ugo4u:
The development in the middle East between Israel and Hamas is worrisome as the humanitarian situation in Gaza is about to hit south. This is one conflict that requires political solution rather than military intervention, it's just like Amotekun confronting the Nigerian military.
One of the spectacle is the Iron Dome missile defence system with 90% efficiency in intercepting rockets from Hamas saving not just the lives of Israelis but also Palestinians because if not for that technology, Israel would have alot of civilian casualties and most definitely they're gonna retaliate by launching a full scale war on Hamas and it's the Palestinian civilians that will bear the brunt. Negotiations/roundtable talk still remains the best option to solve the crises.

youghs:
There's another group operating around that area called BNL(biafra Nations league)

Maduawuchukwu:
Folks, I think that the attacks being carried out by UGM in Akwa Ibom are probably not by IPOB or IPOB affiliated groups. They clearly do not have the reach in those locations. Those attacks might be carried out by local groups imitating what is happening in the SE.
I also think that Kanu is not in control of these UGM stuff. He is inciting and taking credit but those guys on the ground are running their own show. The different groups in different states are most likely not even connected.

Whyem15:
A truck tripped over in Onitsha today, the truck was filled with bullets. Why on earth are we pretending we have a port or port security?
Ports authority workers, customs officers, police officers in checkpoints from the port till Onitsha only care about the extra money they will get while on duty. The same money they will use to Ransome their family members when abducted. The properties they will be forced to abandon when the crime and violence they facilitated becomes too unbearable for them. Majority of Nigerians are unfortunate people and that is why we will keep on having unfortunate leaders.

DubaiLandLord:
Ubani Market Police station in Bende Local Government Area, Abia State has been set ablaze by Unknown Gunmen in the early hours of today, Sunday, May 9, 2021.




At the moment, IgbereTV can not confirm if there were casualties from the attack.

Effort to speak with the Abia state Police PRO, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna was unsuccessful as calls to his phone number were not answered nor returned.

Details to follow.

Stay with IgbereTV

Are you trying to reply me or you just want to be a dumb f**k on a Sunday morning.

Where did I mention the bolded?

My point was that the young man is a police officer.
With the current killings of police officers going on in the east it is no surprise why he stole the firearm for obvious self defense reasons.

He got the cap to blend in, no doubt. We have all seen occasions where the so called police men usually take off their uniforms and find the nearest exit in the face of danger. So what are you talking about?

If the young officer was found with a live and unlicensed firearm.

What are his colleagues supposed to do. Arrest and investigate the case, not brutalize him.

You can see how they are already slapping the hell out of him. That is torture and it is illegal.

So yes, you have somehow lost the ability to think like human.

demolition:

Probably stole the pistol for self defense, considering all what's been going on. and the cap as a means of blending in with the crowd.

Unfortunately his unwise colleagues are already brutalizing him instead of first investigating the issue like they are paid to do.

Very unprofessional organization

Xbee007:
The situation can still be salvaged with drones. Not the usual piecemeal 8. Order 20 if possible.

Some people are not ready to admit we're in serious mess.

ArabicBerber:
There is nothing unbelievable about this it's just standard insurgent warfare. Same thing in Sinai, southern Somalia, Pakistan, Sudan, Afganistan, and the middle east despite intervention from the worlds most powerful militaries for the past 3 dacades. Stop being a drama queen nothing special is going on here.

youghs:
I think the best thing to secure the highway is to carve out about 20,000 policemen, train them for 3 months, set up 100 bases along the highway such that each base takes care of 400km stretch of the highway and Equip each base with UAVs if possible which can respond to kidnap attack and track the kidnappers and kidnappes to their hideout before the ground forces gets there

Whyem15:
This is just treating the symptoms, the illness will just manifest in other forms. The problem lies in governance at all levels. There are huge swathes of lands in Nigeria without any government presence, these are the loopholes non-state actors and criminals are using.
Carve out more states from all these big for nothing states, follow the recommendations of UN on numbers and deployment of reformed law enforcement officers, rejig the judiciary to increase efficiency, build more social infrastructures for people in the rural areas, tackle the flawed wealth distribution and see how things will change.

And reforms in other sectors too.

DubaiLandLord1:
I agree with you on the part you talk about working on our Constitution. A lot of power needs to be giving to the states. The state should pay maybe 10-20% of their revenue to the FG, while the state keeps about 90-80%.

Xbee007:
The issue is not even with NA, rather with the first series of Twitter accounts that first mention the names before NA add it to their press release.

NA gets most of these obscure names from self acclaimed terrorism experts on Twitter. These people have also consistently planted fake news that bring ridicule to Nigerian Military.

I don't trust them at all.

Xbee007:
I'm still not convinced these names are not totally made up.

JOSCOFELIX:
oga who told you is a field commander ? that man killed is a very popular iswap commander oo.
