Wakatumbit: I've made some previous posts about how my wife threatens me with leaving our marriage everytime we have small issues (I didn't post it with this account). She always threaten to leave anytime we have misunderstandings, not even only misunderstandings, even when we are having normal conversations and someone refers to maybe a bad marriage experience, she always says if it's her she will leave. I've spoken to her about it several times, I have even spoken to her family about the issue but it keeps repeating itself.
She has this kind of mentality that she can leave the marriage at any time I do something to her and she repeats it every time, the last one was during an outing when we had a misunderstanding, even before hearing my own side of the story, she said she already tired of the marriage and wants to leave, so I told her to go if she wants. The next morning, she came to wake me up and told me she doesn't want to do again that she wants to leave, she said she'll call her people and I should call my people. I said fine.
I told my family about it, and they supported me because a woman can't threaten me with marriage after one child.
Another thing my wife does is that she constantly compares me to other men, telling people I don't provide for my family, I don't take care of her, to the extent her friends are telling her that if a man doesn't provide for his woman, then he's pushing her out to meet other men.
In regards to the issue of providing, when we met, things were going very well, it was just the two of us and I had money at the time, I took her on vacation, booked flights for her, bought her hairs, a new phone and all. But now we have a child, added responsibilities, and money isn't as it used to be before but one thing I never do is to starve my family.
Last year I made close to 20m but I didn't see the money, not because I'm an extravagant spender but because of family expenses, I can't even explained what happened to the money aside the fact that I bought a car.
I opened a business for her with almost 3 million, the business crumbled, she doesn't want to do anything, she stays home all day just pressing phone. If I don't have any money at all she can't support me, she calls me for everything, even to as little as salt in the house.
She started comparing our marriage to when she was single, that she used to wear the lastest clothes and buy the lastest hair, and now she's married she doesn't get those things forgetting those where the thing I used to do for her when there was enough money.
This whole thing has made me tired of the marriage and I don't feel like continuing it any more, I've told her to call her people since she doesn't want to continue the marriage so they can return the bride price. I just want to focus on my life
Guy, i am sorry, but you married your kind. I dey with my kind. You even made 20million and blow it up. Me and my woman, na only fifty thousand dey make us fight like this. I dey with my type. If only anybody fit dey kind enought to help me with half of the money, na teacher i be and salary is thirty-something thousand. I will be happy and will sort myself. I avoid going home cutrently, cos rent is due. And no money. As for your case, i am still sorry to say that your woman sees herself better than you. She thought she's more finer and level way up than you.
She's now thinking that, it is a privilege for you to be with her. She feels she deserves a classy man way way above your level. Who knows if she has seen one, already, and cheating. Simple word, Your are alredy absent in her mind, wife is gone and ex to be. Ho, sorry for that, i know it hurts. Lastly, don't try to convince her to stay. If you do and succeed, it woe-uld be another phase of frustration. Peeps who wanna stay would stay.
agulion: What Putin is doing is not good, he could have used those mesiles and drone to help Nigeria to kill islamic bandits, Boko haram and other islamic terrorists
. Oga, your COAS said he only need like 32 drone to end insurgency. 1 drone is close to 5.5milliin dollars.
Captain-sav-a-hhhhhhh. Go ahead and save them alll day. When you finish serving your 25yrs to life. Then you could return to protect her, again... Let's hope she waits for you.
When i saw this post, I smiled and remembered think and grow rich by Napolean hill. He talked about the six ghost of fears. Fear of Poverty Fear of Criticism Fear of ill health Fear of loss of love of someone Fear of old age Fear of death.
Without reading much comments on this thread, it is only common to see a lot of comments on fear of poverty, cos with large number of people living in poverty in Naija. So, that should be number one. Death should come second, religion put a lot of after life dealings on us. People fear criticism a lot, reason they try to present themselves as fly or live life like the jones.. A lot of People have committed suicide due to fear of criticism.
I've originally beem a registered member of Nairaland since 2005 [20 years now] with an older moniker including this one, so, aside from the insidiouis invasion of FB, YouTube, X, WhatsApp, and even this NL website since 2014 by the notorious paid troll farms hired by ipob to derail threads, plant hate speech and plant disinformation online in order to destabilize Nigeria as accurately EXPOSED in the May 2022 investigative video by the "BBC Global Disinformation Team" Nairaland is a good website if you are looking do data mining of important information and networking with a couple of folks.
Ah! Lungula. Because I'm a vast reader, your folks, the Lungulas are known to me even though as you said the Bachamas are well-known but Lungulas are among the major ethnicities of Old Gongola that we read about back in the day. Yes, indeed, I have a high school friend who owns a private airline business but he is from the North and very well-travelled internationally as well. Bristow is very competitive to get into and It's interesting that you had some contact with them as it broadens ones view about life. Just to add, I forgot to state that Gneral Theophilus Danjuma retired established an airstrip in his home State of Taraba so, it's been designated by the current Nigerian FG as a hub for an integrated agribusiness export zone so it keys right in to what I was telling you about looking into agribusiness Exports by airfreight and more as the years go by within your Adamawa and Taraba axis. Even OBJ has agribusiness investments in the ==> https://www.nairaland.com/8343091/fg-approves-kashimbila-cargo-agro-allied
The Bank of Industry has been giving young folks loans through programs like the Graduate Entrepreneurship Fund (GEF) [to those who are just right out of the Uni after NYSC] to go into various aspects of Agribusiness and manufacturing such as palm oil and palm kernel oil extractions which are in high demand by individuals and industries, aquaculture in catfish and tilapia farming, poultry, snailery, and more. So, check if your home state has a BOI office and also get to know the requirement and go for training through paid seminars and ongoing workshops in whatever field you want to specialize in. Last but not least, go to the YouTube page of the Bank of industry and watch or download right on your laptop all their videos on those farmers and industrialists they have sponsored and funded over the years including Abayomi Ogundeyin, the U.S.-edducated engineer and CEO of ProForce Defence Industries, in Iperu, Remo, Ogun State that manufactures APCs and MRAPS [Ara or Thunder in English] used in the fight against these bad jihadists by the Nigerian military and exported to foreign countries and even Innoson was given money to grow by BOI.
It is an honor to be having a conversation here with one of the few veterans on this site. I learned from comments like yours in the past years, things have changed here. A lot of people from your time left and never returned to contribute again due to these notorious paid trolls. hired by ipob to derail threads, plant hate speech and plant disinformation online in order to destabilize Nigeria as accurately EXPOSED in the May 2022 investigative video by the "BBC Global Disinformation Team" Nairaland is a good website. wow, some still plant this hate speech without even getting paid. Most of them hate a lot for no genuine reason...
To me Nairaland is still a great site for many of us. If not for NL where would i be opportuned to meet and discuss with brilliant minds with wealth of knowledge and experience in real time like yourself ? Yes, respect to your vast knowledge,sir. Knowing our people and culture here, its rare to find people from the South who would effortlessly state miniority ethnic groups from the North like the Bachamas, Lungudas, Mbulas, lalas,Kilbas, marghis, Mumuyes, Jukuns,Tangales, Kumos, Chams etc...
So, check if your home state has a BOI office and also get to know the requirement and go for training through paid seminars and ongoing workshops in whatever field you want to specialize in. Thanks for this Sir, i will call my sister in Yola to check on the BOI office for me and what is needed to be done. Well, before i call her, i would check on the BOI site to see the useful infomation i can get. Take my time to watch those Youtube videos you uploaded. These videos would be helpful to folks(interested) who would stumble on this thread.
Yes, i knew His Excellency Obj and some prominent men have agribusiness on the Gongola plateau.
Last but not least, go to the YouTube page of the Bank of industry and watch or download right on your laptop all their videos on those farmers and industrialists they have sponsored and funded over the years including Abayomi Ogundeyin, the U.S.-edducated engineer and CEO of ProForce Defence Industries, in Iperu, Remo, Ogun State that manufactures APCs and MRAPS [Ara or Thunder in English] used in the fight against these bad jihadists by the Nigerian military and exported to foreign countries and even Innoson was given money to grow by BOI.
I think before now, i have seen a documentary on ProForce Defense Industries. Impressive. Never knew BOI gave him money, even Innoson. Concerning defense, the COAS met with Gov Zulum some days back, he said they need 32 drones to end the insurgency, that each drone is costing about 5.5million dollars. If my math is correct: Exchange rate: $1 = NGN1,500 Each drone in dollar = $5,500,000 Each drone in Naira = NGN8,250,000,000 Therefore: 32 drones would amount to = 32 × $5,500,000 = $176,000,000 (176million dollars for 32 drones). 176 million dollars in naira should be 264billion.
So, they need an estimated amount of 264billion naira at the exchange rate of 1,500 naira to a dollar to buy 32 drones to end the insurgency. Gov Zulum said, they are boko informant in the military and among politicians. Hope, the military won't come to FG, asking for more money to buy another 100 drones to end the insurgency. Now, Is the 32 drones for Borno alone, north east or Nigeria? Now i see why i truly support your ideas on biological weapons and mind programming in order to minimize large spending on weapons.
Thank you for channelling my mind to this BOI. Lastly, Sir, i wouldn't mind if you could share your email address with me, cos, i would love to reach out to you beyond NL. Not until i come here to mention you before i get a reply. Thank you for the info again. My address on the profile.You don't need to put yours. The bot or a mod keeeps removing my comment. I don't know why.
I appreciate your deep insights here which I carefully read over again.
You are clearly well-informed on the goings on in Nigeria and globally as well.
The "Shahed-type" drone attack defense systems in Nigeria? Nigeria has none BUT can quickly upgrade because some oil and gas money is available (which is the advantage Nigeria still has over these jihadi gangs). Iran actually sent some military logistics to Russia in the ongoing Russian-Ukraine War and this Shahed-type drones are part of them. The Iranians have really surprised me over the years with their advanced leap in technology since the 1979 Revolution that removed the Shah of Iranian (Shah means King) and brought in the Shiites led by Ayatollah Khomeini. There are still Iranian Jews in especially Shiraz and Tehran in Iran and other Iranians who schooled in the Western countries and are very brilliant in academics and research. Iran currently manufactures planes, surveillance and attack drones, intercontinental missiles, military planes (that CANNOT be detected by radar just like the American Stealth fighter jets and bombers), agribusiness machinery and more. You do know that the current Iran used to be known as Persia until as recent as the 1970s and everyone dressed like Western Europeans (Even in the 1970s Afghanistan)... NO long hijab-wearing women until the Shiites Muslims came in the 1979 takeover, (the land of Cyrus the Great and Emperor of Persian Empire which colonized the Babylonians and even the ancient Israeli tribes and imposed their Zoroastrian religion on them and that is how the Pharisee branch of Judaism (the name "Pharisee" is derived from Parsi or Persia) evolved from the Persian colonization. Judaism is an "imperfect copy" of the Zoroastrian religion based on the worship of a Universal God of heaven with a holy representative on Earth called "Shah han Shah" (King of Kings) the Persian Emperor. It's important to remove the Iranian Shiites rulers one way so that they do NOT share advanced technologies with terror elements which will be bad for mankind's safety.
You are right about that route going to Adamawa being quite unsafe especially at night from past information. The Gombe route should be OK. It's good to know that you are indeed from the Middle Belt region section of the NE of Nigeria (or Adamawa State). The Nigerian Civil War veteran and hero Brigadier-General Benjamin Adekunle's mother hailed from the Bachama people of Adamawa State who were many in the Nigerian Army back then and bravely fought on the Nigerian side in the Civil War of June 1967 to January 1970. Brigadier-General Benjamin Adekunle's father was from Ogbomoso in Osun State. Raymond Dokpesi's mother too hailed from Adamawa State. Raymond Dokpesi's father was from Agenebode in Edo State.
Several decades back, I attended an elite boarding high school in Nigeria with very well-spoken and brilliant folks from the Old Gongola State (now Adamawa and Taraba States) which improved my understanding of Nigerians and cultures despite living in Lagos and having to travel up to one of the major commercial Northern State capitals to attend boarding school by road or fly by Nigeria Airways (which was cheap back then for students). I assumed originally that you are either from Southern Yobe (or even Southern Borno being sister-states based on your clarity of writing and thinking). I admire your courage and the fact that you had your early education in the South West before moving closer to your ancestral home region of NE (to attend l guess Unimaid). I would like to suggest that you move out of Yobe as your intuition leads you (write out with clarity the pros and cons on paper of staying in Yobe and leaving Yobe) if the opportunity comes up then get closer to Adamawa State where you can easily get cheaper ancestral farm lands (and include agribusiness as part of your career path) to complement what you studied in the higher institution (because farmers have become big time multimillionaires where there is relative security) and Adamawa is closer to Cameroon where you have a vibrant agricultural belt with honey, Cameroonian giant plantains (or popularly called "Ogede Agbagba" in Yoruba language), then international trade can take place from there. Supplies can later be made to especially Lagos and other states with large populations after due diligence. There are several NL threads over the last 20 years and then YouTube videos you can download on your laptop that deal with organic agriculture, sack farming for yams and vegetables, soilless farming, green house farming, hydroponics, value addition and food preservation to avoid spoilage of excess farm produce, giant plantain farming using improved disease-resistant varieties from IITA in Ibadan and the nearby Cameroon, etc, I will explain more below to show how agribusiness and urban farming, small, medium and commercial farming are the way forward for feeding individual families and others while making huge ROI. There's a young guy still in his 20s based in Jos, Plateau State (who returned from the UK after opted out of Uni studies) and now manufactures actual farm tractors and farm machinery including making a sports car and his story has been featured on YouTube and posted on NL.
It's shameful that Borno and Yobe States that used to be MAJOR hubs for bulk beans buyers and a profitable aquatic centre because of the vast Lake Chad (before climate change kicked in from the early 2000s and reduced the size of that important lake, hence triggering economic hardship and escalating the Jihadi violence).
A few years ago, I remember reading how 7 Yoruba men who are big time bulk beans dealers travelled from Ibadan to Maiduguri to buy beans in BULK as major dealers and were eliminated by this BH jihadi gang on the major road to Maiduguri and that was during the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency years. Borno/Yobe people are largely NOT lazy. Based off of my past readings and watching interviews, many of those men and women interviewed in Borno IDP camps were millionaire or multimillionaire farmers. I was shocked seeing a thin looking man in the IDP camp who looked well fed in photographs taken in the past when he was rich as a farmer BUT these worthless jihadi just came and chased them out of their ancestral and farmlands in Borno State rendering these rich farmers poor. So, it's clear that indigenes of those places are NOT lazy except for some who allowed extremist religious ideology to mislead them.
Even in Kaduna State right now, security has been restored to some major farming communities such as Birnin Gwari by the joint efforts of the current Kaduna Governor and the Tinubu-led Federal Government and I saw the video of the billionaire (in Naira) Kaduna farmers of Birnin Gwari (which is said to be the most fertile agriculture belt in Kaduna State) thanking the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Kaduna State Governor for bringing peace between the Hausa farmers and Fulani bandits, which has enabled them to go back to their farms and individually make billions of Naira worth of bumper harvests (since they last did active farming over 10 years ago in Birnin Gwari) from beans, maize, rice, and other bags of commodities. Each big time farmer was interviewed in the TVC YouTube video by the brilliant Kogi State-born political analyst Babajide Kolade-Otitoju of the internationally popular "Journalists Hangout" and each of the farmers CLEARLY stated the numbers of bags harvested and the value made in billions of Naira. I thought I was dreaming when I heard the enthusiasm in the farmers. Farmers all over the world are rich people if done right and this is where relative security comes in to do business. Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Zamfara, Borno, Yobe, Kebbi, Niger, Kebbi, Kwara, Kogi, Edo, Ondo, Delta States, etc, have absolutely NO business with food insecurity caused majorly by foreign Fulani herdsmen and bandits in their agricultural hinterlands with added security and each of these States must be given the permission by the FG to buy advanced surveillance and attack drones to monitor their forests to pick up unwanted foreign bandits and eliminate them promptly.
About the use of biological weapons, yes, that negative side is there (especially for the traditional biological weapons made from germs and viruses) and I don't want to give too much away for security reasons, but since you are learned, there are ways Nigeria's brilliant University researchers like in the University of Lagos for instance can come up in top secret military-University collaboration programs with "nano technologies" that can be used on these gangs of jihadist and bandits to make them mentally docile and innefective to fight. The advanced countries already have these biological weapons that if you are injected or something, you will become innefective. That saves money on buying many expensive weapons as well. We have to move globally and quickly against these Jihadis because they do NOT mean well for making.
I've never meet you before but I felt your vibrational energy and thought to inspire you more and trigger some deeper insights in you because I perceive you to be a brave young man living and working right in Yobe in the midst of tensions. Despite all these, those in Maiduguri for instance are still magaging to move on with their lives. You will succeed in life with ONLY raw determination... Just look out for problems in the ecosystems around us and creatively solve those problems for a large number of people by "monetizing" your creative solutions.
Enjoy the rest of the work week.
Cheers.
Thank you Sir for taking your time to carefully read my reply. I appreciate you. I wished i had someone like you to guide me in life, earlier. You speak history and wisdom. i never had a mentor, most things i knew were due to curiousity and observation.
I remembered when Bristow Group Inc shortlisted few of us for cadet pilot training interview, i was hopeful, i could theoritically fly a helicopter then. Only the best three(3) or four(4) got the offer then(2013/14) out of twenty-something(can't remember the specific nember) of us shortlisted to attend the interview at Lagos, Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Ikeja.
Again, would i say, i wasn't lucky? cos, all i wanted was to fly an aircraft in my life. I wanted to be a Pilot.
This is so enlighening, i knew they were called persians but not the rest you talked about, they are new knowledge to me. Thank you for the insights. It is surprsing to know that iranians once dressed like Europeans. History is full of surprises. This Shiite people like drama. I was in Kaduna in 2016 when their followers blocked the motocade of the a former COAS who was on his way to the depot in Zaria, the rest is history. What are the West really doing about the Shiites, like you mentioned. "It's important to remove the Iranian Shiites rulers one way so that they do NOT share advanced technologies with terror elements which will be bad for mankind's safety ".
I hail from Adamawa and the Bachamas are neighbour, just 45mins to an hour drive to my LGA(Guyuk). Our cultures are similar.However, they're known compared to us(Lunguda). Sir, you sound like the noble elites i was once privileged to sit and listen to at Ikeja Golf Club,GRA. A friend invited me. I had the opportunity to sit, listen and observe learned, well-informed and well traveled elderly men speaking. Great experience. Wow, I never knew these illustrious men, General Adekunle and Sir Dokpesi had Adamawa affliliate. Our culture is motherland. Then, some of our neighbours called my late mother Mama Gongola. .
Sir, i guess that elite boarding school would either be in Kaduna or Kano? . I believe most of your alumni are the Technocrats in MDAs and Economic affairs of our nation. You guessed right. I attended Unimaid. All my time in Unimaid i only flew to maiduguri once, courtesy, Oga Umar, from Kd-Maid.
As for clarity of pros and cons on still staying in Yobe. To be honest, if not for jihadis terror attack and limited job opportunities. There's nothing wrong with this place. I cultivated and harvested beans two years ago. There's now a federal structure on the land, so unfortunate. I remember the Oyo beans traders terrible circumstance. We truly need a safe Nigeria to travel and carryout our lawful business without fear of getting harmed by men of twisted and wicked mindsets.
Yes sir, it is a clear fact, when it comes to farming, people here are not lazy, during raining/farming season, you will see a lot of people, even out of school children(9-12) holding hoes looking for people to hire them on their farms.
Just the other day, i saw the TVC correspondent doing their thing on Church Street, Jarusalem beside Glad School. Yes, those big time farmers interviewed by the famous BKO(Babajide Kolade Otitoju) of Journlists Hangout, had funds to invest in the farm, many of us don't. Most people affected by boko haram are farmers. Either subsistence or commercial, farming is a way of life here, and people still need the support of stakeholders. Thank you for the reminder, i have been looking into hydroponic system of farming, lately.
Like you said, the advance surveillance and attack drones to monitor the forests, picking up unwanted foreign bandits and eliminating them promptly and nano tech are the ways to go.
Lastly, i appreciate your every word of encouragement and would like to meet you someday, i know myself not to give up, easily. Things are rough right now,but i believe in better days. Forgive any typo, i am using a phone to type. I don't have a laptop.
You've spoken VERY impressively here as you are also an eyewitness of events right in the North East of Nigeria. Indeed these criminal jihadi elements are using drones now which definitely could have come from Iran via Yemen's Houthi rebels who got some attack drones from Iran. The theatre of war has indeed changed and Chad and Niger Republic territories are NO doubt providing a safe haven from these groups using drones to attack Nigerian locations in the North East.
So, Nigeria has to use more superior weapons to counter these jihadi groups (who want to impose their evil wills on others) by getting more advanced attack drones and surveillance drones and use advanced satellite-based tracking technologies to pinpoint the exact locations of these jihadi gangs. We will NOT let them win and collaborations with the United States to use their platforms and sharing military intelligence will help. There's no need for Nigeria to be ashamed of doing that as other countries are doing the same thing to eradicate crime on a global scale.
Also, the use of coded biological weapons and mind programing tactics to make these terror gangs backed or affiliated to Al-Qaeda docile can be used on them to minimize heavy spending on weapons. This MUST be a top secret initiative.
Stay safe where you are in Yobe and get out when you have the chance to the safer areas of Kano or Adamawa States if you notice the situation is degenerating further. Capital cities are usually safer and well-guarded though). But I trust that with the further meetings that the Nigerian President had 2 days ago with the NSA (Nuhu Ribadu), senior military officers and service chiefs, they will implement creative non-kinetic strategies to deal with especially those jihadi elements using drones to attack locations in Yobe and Borno.
Sir, you have made a lot of great points and given real time solutions, like the reconnaissance drones,both Ukraine and Russia are using it. if only our military would listen to people like you, get the necessary help,collaborate with the United States, knowing they can't do it alone. Just to state a concern about this attack drone tech this evil jihadis groups have acquired. It's a real and imminient danger to us like this.
Last week, Ukraine Airforce stated that they successfully intercepted 60 drones in a night. The report also stated that, 108 shahed type drones were launched by Russia that night. The air defense units operate under the command of the Ukraine Airforce. Correct me if i am wrong Sir, i don't think we have an air defense system in place to intercept these terrorists attack drones. The shahed type drones are from Iran, So, now i see your point clearly on the [b]Iran-Yemen's houthi rebels who got some attack drones from Iran. So, who knows, attack drones controlled by evil jihadis may start flying into the capitals attacking civillians. I am really scared for this.[/b] No bunkers
The coded biological weapons and mind programming tactics, in order to minimize heavy spending on weapons are extremely important. Cos, these brain-washed jihdis are fighting with determination, as for the coded biological weapons, i hope they don't use it on the population someday, like how the airforce would drop a bomb killling the wrong set of people. Truth don't lie. If you kill the wrong set of people and you lie to the public about it, it's just a matter of time the citizens become the victims of the threats you never eliminated. This is what we are experiencing here.
The aspect of minimizing of heavy spending on weapons. The Chibok Rep said, from 2016 - 2019, the Federal government has given the military close to NGN19trillion for weapons and ammunitions, that he has the documents. You see, they would want new money for new weapons and maybe air defense to intercept attact drones and the rest.
We hope the meeting yield a result that can help us stay safe from these senseless and deadly assaults.
We need our defenders to show ingenuity. Well, as for my safety, like i said earlier, i feel trapped. Work brought me here, the contract has since expired, i now teach and looking for a way out. With no shame, i don't have the financial resource or means to leave and resettle, i don't even earn up to 40k per month, its hard to tell. Yobe to Adamawa is 15k -17k, it's suicide to follow the short cut route, that's Gujba(buni gari, buni yadi) to Biu, then enter Adamawa. So, going through Gombe is safe. A lot of lives lost on this axis, Nuhu and two other guys i know were executed by the evil Jihadis last year on this same road, they were on their way from Damaturu to Adamawa for the farming season. I am guilty as well, i have followed the road two times, cos it is shorter and cheaper to Adamawa.A Family member warned me to stop, stating if i don't have the means to go through Gombe, i should stay back.
Again, i have asked couple of friends for any job opportunity away from here, some have their own challenges, the generous ones would send something they could spare while some have their reasons for not supporting at all. I don't know, maybe some of them don't want me to leave, so that they could have a gist on my demise,use me as a stat when talking about the Jihdis terror. . As a minority from NE(Adamawa), i had both my primary and secondary learning in SW then moved to Borno for Uni education. Yes, been to other places, i am now here and wish to leave. The sad thing is, after each attack people count their losses, talk about it for few minutes to hours and move on, until another attack. I don't want to die here.
You are incorrect here. Go to one of my NL threads which you can read in the NL link right BELOW with articles and video reports on the activities of these West African Sahelian jihadi groups CLEARLY documented for more insights.
It's NOT a proxy attack funded by the West at all. It's an open secret to those of us who have deep insights on geopolitical dynamics and advanced security issues that more than half of Burkina Faso and more than half of Mali including parts of Niger Republic are under the control of JNIM since the French left and the Russians came in and floundered badly under these young military coup plotters.
Even JNIM (the Al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadi group) has been carrying out attacks, illegal mining, and kidnappings in Northern Benin Republic and Northern Cote D'Ivoire for over 4 years now and it's very CLEAR that Western military intelligence and support will be needed more than ever before instead of the irresponsible pride that those inexperienced military boys are displaying in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger Republic by expelling French and American troops and military advisers and replacing them with the highly inneficient Russians military advisers because things have gotten WORSE.
There's too much hype around this young Burkina Faso military guy called Traore. He CANNOT handle these Jihadists alone. He and those other countries of Mali, and Niger Republic should be humble enough, link up militarily with Nigeria, the rest of ECOWAS and the United States because Mali, Burkina Faso, and Mali are posing a VERY BIG risk to Nigeria's security [due to the infiltrations of these foreign Mali, Niger Republic and Burkinabe jihadi groups into Nigeria and Benin Republic and other ECOWAS countries] with their poor handling of the Al-Qaeda affiliate called the JNIM terror group which has it's headquarters right in Mali and has over half of Traore's Burkina Faso and Mali and Niger Republic under their control. Yet, I keep seeing highly uninformed young people praising Traore and those other military guys in Niger Republic and Mali who miscalculated in the war against the JNIM and in expelling France and the U.S.
JNIM Islamists group is already using Northern Ghana as a logistics base to secretly buy medication, petrol, food, engage in mining for precious minerals (like they have done in Northern Cote D'Ivoire) and much more. They ALSO CLEARLY have NOT hidden the FACT that they want to start attacks on Ghana and take over [b]Ghana which is still relatively untouched to jihadi attacks.
I hope you have a better understanding of the situation in the West African Sahel region now. [/b]
Mehn, terrorism is something else. Now thinking of a new place to bring terror to. And these jhadis groups now use attack drones, a federal rep of chibok/damboa/gwoza constituency who visited Chibok confirmed it . FPV drones changed the frontline in ukraine, russian infantry can't carry out ground assault like before. Well, i am currently living in capital of yobe, 30-40km away from the town(buni Gari) they attacked last weekend. A lot of casualities. I feel trapped here.
ify2016: Normal level. Experience similar thing yesterday but later showed their popular response that online recruitment has stopped. No cause for alarm
Okay. Just thinking, maybe they have started updating each candidate's dashboard. Edit: Well i just checked again, normal level like you said.
I said let me check update by login to my fcsc dashboard. I tried it yesterday and today. It is now blank...Someone should try and tell us if he or she is ezperiencing the same thing. @whippersnapper, any reason for the blank page ?
kennyz247: See the kinda idiots we are expecting to be our future president
The guy fall hand. Most guys in Maiduguri don't drink alcohol like that. They smoke more and pop a lot of pillls. Mostly, na the northern christian and southern guys dey drink beer pass for there.
boko boys don't take alcohol but pop pills before attack. So, what's his point? The cultism, gang-fight and prostitution he used to justice the ban is so so baseless.
They drink alcohol codedliy but condemn it openly.
BItt: Women will leave you when you don't have money again, so guard your money jealously
I don't understand! you jealously guard your money cos you don't want her to leave. If she is leaving cos you are money-less, then she was never there for love in the first case. Why don't we see these things crystal clear. I had a friend told me, never to go broke if i don't want her to leave or angry. I was like wow.
Me wey no get money, then how do i keep them close. Well, i never pay for sex. Thats all. So, i basically do not exist for show off.
Dogalmighty17: Let us be brutally honest with ourselves now. Nigerian army is beginning to border on incompetent. These needless loss of lives can very well be avoided. Why is the army still fighting as if it is in the 90s? Why is it using incredibly outdated tactics?
I watch steadily the theatre of war that is Ukraine I see how simple cheap drones have become a game changer, stopping Russia in its paths. Drones have changed the game effectively stopping the advance of any attacking force from any direction.
This reason is why the United States last week made it mandatory that every division of the US army will be equipped with thousands of drones going forward.
Why sit and wait for an attack when drones gives you eyes in the sky, heads-up ability to spot the mass of the enemy as they advance and send attacking drones at them to disorient and dislodge them. The moment you are exchanging gunfire with an adversary it is already late.
That's why you will not see large scale infantry and mechanised attacks in Ukraine anymore. Drones have rendered those tactics obsolete.
These drones cost less than 5000 dollars. It is willful malice that every Nigerian FOB should not have tens or more of these deployed. The stand-off ability drones offer makes them an asset to any theatre.
Let's not forget the reconnaissance ability drones give. ISWAP and Boko Haram have camps they amass in and advance from. Drones give huge abilities to take the fight to these elements. Hearing news of the army always being on defense is becoming irritating. This is over 15 years of Boko Haram and ISWAP now. Have we not gathered enough intel to know the location of these camps? Why is it that we never read that Nigerian army has attacked the camp of the insurgents? Why is it always that the army has to be on the defensive against them?
The ultimate sacrifice men of the army have paid is inestimable and is deeply appreciated. But it is time to change tactics. The old ways don't work anymore.
One of the military tactics is living and patroling among civilians. I know these Buni Gari and Yadi road. See, you hardly hear troops attacking these boko and iswap, they(boko) are the ones bringing the attacks to the camps of the soldiers. All they do is repel. If they tell us otherwise, like saying, they don't need tell the public or civilians about their operation. We know that truth doesn't lie. We would have seen relative peace in these states and no any emergency meeting from the north eastern governors some days back.
Just the other day, Gov Zulum was complaining about resurgence and all one soldier' spokeman could say was, they are trying and should not be criticized. Now, the question is, are the terrorist camps not known by soldiers like the way the boko know and attack the soldier's camps? You hear something like, terrorists attacked super camps, and the next thing you read is they were repelled. When are the troops going to attack every boko and iswap super camps, and stop disturbing civilians in towns?
None. If we ever had sound and real leaders, we should not be in these situations of kidnap, poverty,ritual, yahoo yahoo, hook up, boko haram, unknown gunmen, herders-farmers clash, thieving of public resources without capital punshiment, millions of children out of schoool, high unemployment rate, police brutality, military living among civilians and intimidating them, bandits, inec and parties rigging elections, religious and tribal intolerance... etc
