Bakassi boys caused the death of 23 people in 1 night in Aba.

They diverted a bus full of Christians going for night vigil and took them to their base in Orie Ohabiam market. By the following morning, all the worshippers were dead.

This is horrible and so unfortunate. Instead of them to fight terror, they became terror to innocent people,too. Na wa... Power sha.

Gehgeh isn't doing a new thing but I'll always give the kudos, he deserves it.

And may God bless Ubunja wherever he's right now, man was blessings though many men failed to realized, it was after the ship had sailed many are now biting the fingers and counting their loses.

Side notes:
You will hardly find the logical females (I use that word intentional because have hard time confronting their true nature so rather swing) on here dropping comments if the thread or talks is all about women wrong doings

The great Ubunja........

chieveboy:
Let's try to be posting positive posts about Nigeria and Nigerians.

I am not sure the West have something like Nairaland where the post something like a retiring black pilot.

. You funny... Like a retiring black pilot.
I hope say 40 words don reach. I just wan laugh commot. Mumu nairala... Dey demand forty words..

Welfare is key to troops motivation hence best performance. The defence and naval authority should kindly see to this issue. Saw massive accomodations being built across Naval base @ Ojo. Good work! Keep it up naval chief

I don't know why you guys always feel or are deceived by these boys scouts in military fatigues, Army ,Navy and Airforce. These guys are not different from politicians or yahoo boys. They are always demanding for more money...

They keep demanding, and the politicians are scared of them, so they are going to share with them. At the end, they still gon' demand. A FOC, GOC, AOC wants his share before retirement knowing the chances of becoming the next selected chief of service is slim. So, i need my money now and as officers of the same struggle, let us all get our money. I sabi the way these guys dey think.

Nothing new in the military, all they want is money like every other opportunistic politician. Stop regarding them cos we still have internal crisis almost every where.

See, military standard is primarily external defense but all they do is internal defense with minute gains. Rubbing shoulders with police, vigilante and civil defense. We need to demilitarise internally.

If external aggression comes now, how we go do am, demand for new money? Well, if you pocket money for external fight, the aggressor will run you down and out.. We are lucky,no neighbor threat.

When you see queue at the immigration office and people who want to procure your the same passport then you will understand that all these rants are needless and baseless.Nigerians can pay 500k for passport provided they will get it the same day.if with 100k you will get your passport in less than one week and without stress then I won’t need to wait 6months to get the same for 40k,if you die before the 6months will they bring the passport to your grave?

Now, after saying this, does it sound normal to you? Taking advantage of desperate people as a government, instead of trying to ease it. Wicked people thinking. They see rubbish as normal. If Naija was good, how many people go dey think of running(japa)?

Softmirror:
You can't eat you cake and still have it. Do you have the statistics of the number of Nigerians who were able to get an international passport when the price was 'affordable'?!

You just like to argue. When the price was 'affordable' the challenges in getting a passport was so much that time and money was so wasted. That was the reality!

Today it is different which comes with it's own price. You can't eat your cake and still have it.

I don hear you, let us leave it at that. Before you go still say i like to argue. Tech dey advance and means of doing things(working) are becoming way easier and efficient. So, i hope the immigration officers would change their ways, too. They should not ask applicants for extra as we all know that 100k for passport is on the high side already compared to our minimum wage. Thank you

Softmirror:
Where did it say it is free?! Owning a passport is a privilege.

You have a problem, no body mentioned free passport for any citizen. If owning a passport is privilege, then, so is being a citizen. People are talking about affordability with respect to mini wage. You are here changing the story. No wonder other commenters don tire for your matter... Wetin dey worry you. I wan say thing to get nairala.... They are on your side, i guess.

Softmirror:
You didn't answer my question but choose to jumb to this one that is not your discussion.

Common, i answered you and my comment was ban.
Section 41 of the 1999 Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to move freely within Nigeria and to enter and exit the country. a valid passport is essential for international travel. Therefore, the right to leave and enter the country implies a right to the document that facilitates this travel.

I hope you would apply a sense of reasoning and understanding after reading the above

Softmirror:
Poverty!

This poverty shaming thing is something else in Nigeria. Mentality, most of you are okay and happy to see people struggle through poverty. It shows in your comments here. I don't know if we hate to see every or most Nigerians have a decent living. No wonder crime dey everywhere. Cos, we don't want collective growth. We want to be that guy with all the good things on the street while others watch, hail us, envy us with nothing at hand. We hardly think of a large amount of citizens doing fine.

Softmirror:
That is why you have NIN. Simple!

Oh no. Dont start. You are not close to simple. Stop using that word. . Is NIN an alternate for travel passport for citizens? Don't other countries have Nin(equivalent), is it an alternate to their travel passport?
Like i said, it is a calculated scheme by the tax collectors to discourage people who earn less from leaving, knowing fully well we have very large number of these people stressing to move out. The suppression is real. And there is no plan or concrete program like China to help the people come out of poverty.

They are comparing travel passport and mini wages of other countries to that of Naija, and you had to bring up a local id. Even the best countries in the globe don't use local id for international travel. Wetin dey worry you self.

Softmirror:
I still don't understand the logic behind using minimum wage as you people's yardstick as to what should be paid for an international passport.

It is not logical. Because it simply means that the person will only spend more time saving to acquire one. That's all!

Is that the yardstick used for the price of flight ticket too?!🥴

Why won't you simply see the logic behind minimum wage and a national document? For every working citizen earning a minimum wage, he or she should be able to afford a passport from their mini wages. You were given examples of other countries but you still wouldn't see reason.

If not for wickedness, a country where many citizens don't even make the mini' wage, only for the document being increased. We know that, the increase scheme is to discourage people of less than minimum wages the option or hope of seeking a life out side nigeria. You talked about airticket not cheap. You don't even have an air national carrier. Airline is a transport business of individuals and coorperations trying to make profits based on costs and other factors of business. Why compare with a document that every citizen is entitled to?
If you can't afford air ticket, use your identity follow land, or sea dey go. Dey break the journey until you reach your destination(adventure things)

Humans are the only beings with a soul.

The rest don't.

So they live to die and die to live

If humans are the only beings with a soul in the universe, what is a soul and how did the soul get into a body?
Where was the soul's initial abode before coming to earth in a body and where is it going to return or go to next after the death of the body?

Toruibestate:
Very true because the way life is..
You mean we came down from heaven just to fight to enter heaven again?
Very weird.

Mehn, no be small thing oh. I can't even remember any arrangement or the owner of heaven asking me if i wanted to be here on earth? with a 50/50 chance of returning to heaven. This matter tire me. If heaven was my origin, why would i want to gamble my life coming here!!!

Obainomilano:
The police officer will of course regain his freedom or be prosecuted and then smuggled out of prison by the cabal he is working for ...there is no smuggling of anything without some top goverment officials involved ....this is the story of Nigeria ...where even a soldier is brutally killed like a nobody by an illegal escort working for the cabals..because something gave him morale that nothing dey happen

Guy forget, no cabal go save that police man since he dey Army custody. He killed the guard commander. The malice the soldiers go unleash on am. He go regret ever existing in this world.. Na enemy he be already for firing the first shots.. The sharp sharp illegal mining money he dey find to drink beer and carry ashawo don put am for deep shiiiiit now.... Guys be guided.

Watcharena:
Is like what Sowore was saying is correct to some extent

What did he say about them?
Even Oshiomole has said things about these said losers of generals(mockery of the word in its true sense) engage in. They are one of our major problems in Nigeria. We need to mentally demilitarise the nigerian system.
The rank of general should not be for every person just because he/she is a regular officer.

A person like the Ex leader of Libya killed by Nato, was never a General, but i doubt if any nigeria man who ever wore the nigerian supposed rank of general would be greater or influencial than him.
Stop promoting plenty people to the rank of general, and let the few promoted be supervised by a council of worthy men. I don't think America and Russia have large numbers of generalz in their Armed forces like ours!!!

Oshiomole talked about thess guysss but people are not listening. They seem to be one of the big problems we have in Nigeria.

From illegal mining to bunkering... They want money like the politicians. They know nothing about security. They are thieves. They live in a country with most generals(derogatory in the truest sense of the word) with high level of insecurity at the same time with no any reasonable result. When you say things the way they are Nairala.. ban your commments.. Rubbish and ingredient.

KobolanderSegun:
Very true o....Ok how about the guy was buying the " mother in law ' and " father in law " birthday Presents, Easter Present, Christmas present. What do you think peoples emotions would be like ,?

in such situation, it is hard to tell, the first thinking for one of the parents(a greedy one) who loved those gifts, maybe that, since our daughter is gone would these presents stop coming or it is the end,too?
i believe the mother and father would see things differently. Again, If they are more religious or even superstitous. Then their thinking would be that, they had received the devil's gift in exchange for the life of their precious daughter. So, basically, it is matter of beliefs, mindset and personality.

kokoA:
This one na content. How can you be away from your wife for 20 years? No woman will accept that in the first place, so Una no gbensh for 20 years??

The only thing you people mostly think about is gbensh. Talk abkout the issue at hand. Disloyalty, deception.. As he dey send her money to build, why didn't she save to surprise him with a visit?

KobolanderSegun:
DeeperLife Brother. My take is be a gentleman and angel to women so if she dies through fate she would have sang your praises to her parents and her friends who will vouch for you in case of mishap. " He is a wonderful person he could not have done it "they might even contribute to the bail money. That's why eloping is risky if something goes wrong family will put the blame on the living partner

Yes, he is a wonderful person and couldn't have done it, but yes he did it. He is a snake... You would start hearing different negative things thereafter, peoples emotionz could be so fickle and judgmental when they are hurt..

missidy:
For peace to reign, really!!! You want to support your wife's wickedness for peace to reign? Please send that girl back to her parents in the village. You can be paying her tuition directly to the school and support her from afar instead of letting your wife turn a 6yrs old child into a maid. Your wife is a wicked witch.

The bold is her goal. Cut the girl's chance of getting a better education. Reason she's coming up with a scheme like that.

Israel5:
Okay. Thanks. Getting a housemaid is not necessary for me o. Where I wan get am sef? My wife will not want another girl in the house o. And she doesn't want any of her relatives to come to the house either. She has trust issues. So we're where we are. I'm learning the ropes of a man that wants peace. Lol

You are a good weak guy while you wife isn't. See women on the thread even called a wicked person. God help you and all of us. I no sabi put mouth for woman matter.

You see columbia(they form one of the largest foreign contingents in the Ukraine Armed forces), they have one of the highest foreign volunteers casuality in Ukraine.

Trump's meeting with Putin. Below is a comment from someone in Ukraine.

Putin wants nothing more than for this war to continue. At this moment, his troops are making progress in the Donetsk region, and Ukrainian forces are under heavy pressure. Why on earth would he want to allow them to take a break?

WriterNg bless me with something little.. I no get shishi for hand and i am on transit from an interview .

My heart is broken already after reading the headline. How long shall we continue to live like this? People trying to hurt other people for something we can't or can figure why...

40 questions in 20 minutes. Pass Q will not really help in the exams. If you are qualified for the position you applied, it shouldn't prove very difficult.

God bless you with this reply... Thank you.
