What is "suicidal" about Israel attacking Iran? An invasion of Iran is suicidal and impossible, because Iran is a far bigger country than Israel. Surgical air strikes are very feasible and there's not a damn thing Iran would be able to do about it. What will make Tel Aviv to be "gone". I've got no love for Israel, but they have by far the greatest military in the Middle East.

Israel has tasted some of Iran missiles technology through hamas in the last year onslaught. when 93% of all the hamas missiles landed in Israel with iron dome interceptor failed wholefuly. Can Israel withstand rains of 500 shabab-3 missiles at a time that will be a disaster for Israel. All of their commanders know it as well as their war planner. Israel can't afford that war.

A begger can receive any type of abusive word, can this Leahy of a man dare say so about Iran or North Korea not to talk of Russia?

Since we are beggers; we've to learn how to live like beggers.

While America is busy begging Iranian military; they're calling Nigerian military Rap1sts

America is begging Iranian military for what?

Lilswaghanxum:
Please guy,dont be deceived by the US,that country is an evil to all nations.
Albeit we need to preach peace and not this talk about crushing the militants. for america abeg forget that country na them go even destroy naija if the wish. no forget der prediction abi u tink say dm don forget.

yes peace my brother

Well, since they didn't not disclose the reason behind their meeting. No comment now otherwise, if it is what am thinking that meeting entails therefore it is too late. Now that Nigeria has mend her relationship with USA and USA is now Nigeria ally now. No country will want be supply Arms to MEND not even Israel. Tompolo and other should not result to violence it wouldn't augur well.

Based on this statement from DSS,they got nothing on this man. Are they now the EFCC to prosecute the man for having 12cars or for having 5 bullet-proof cars from 'tax payers' money? Or are the bullet proof cars now a security threat to the nation.
The got nothing to prosecute him on threat to nation's security,really.

Nigerian that's all what we are, trying to cover up truth with lies. Is it only bulletproof car u are seeing in the report, what about the weapons may be you didn't read that part.

[quote author=sainty2k3 post=36025538]But why DSS and not EFCC. If its corruption charges,DSS should allow EFCC do their work and face other business[/quote

This is security issue more than corruption. comprehendo?

The Department of State Services (DSS) has disclosed that its operatives invaded the Abuja home of the immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), after it received intelligence report that the former security adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan, was allegedly planning to commit “treasonable felony against the Nigerian State.” A statement signed by Mr. Tony Opuiyo, said the action of the secret service on Thursday, was in “line with current management resolve to be proactive and pre-empt individuals with penchant for impunity and lawlessness from putting back the nation to the dark days.” The statement accused the former NSA of preventing a legal assignment by operatives of the DSS, who were said to have presented a validly issued and signed search warrant. It said the operation, which was planned to last no more than two hours, entered the next day (Friday), owing to Dasuki’s alleged refusal to allow the DSS’ personnel access to his No. 13 John Kadiya Street in Asokoro, Abuja. The DSS said it recovered “incriminating items”, including seven high calibre rifles, (high assault weapons), several magazines and military related gears, 12 new vehicles, out of which five were bullet proof. The statement reads in full: “On 16th July, 2015, about 1650 hours, based on credible intelligence linking the immediate past NSA, Mohammed Sambo DASUKI (Col Rtd) with alleged plans to commit treasonable felony against the Nigerian State, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) conducted a search on the properties belonging to the former NSA, Mohammed Sambo DASUKI (Col Rtd). The properties are on Nos. 13, John Khadya Street, Nos. 46, Nelson Mandela Street, both at Asokoro, Abuja, and Nos. 3 Sabon Birni Road, Gwiwa Area, Sokoto, Sokoto State. “The search operations was planned to be simultaneously conducted, but DASUKI, refused the operatives entry into his main residence located at No. 13 John Khadya Street, Asokoro, despite being presented with a genuine and duly signed search warrant. Consequently, what was to last not more than two (2) hours, lasted more than ten (10) hours, up till the early hours of 17th July, 2015. Indeed if not for the sense of maturity and professionalism of the officers and men assigned this task and the very good understanding and timely intervention of the new Chief of Army Staff, Tsukur Y. BURATAI (Maj Gen), there would have been a clash between the Army operatives guarding the house and Service operatives, as SAMBO directed the soldiers on duty not to allow any movement into his house, despite the subsisting court order. SAMBO thereafter raised a false alarm to the military authorities to come to his aid as he failed to correctly tell the military that his property was about to be legitimately searched. “Gentlemen, please recall that SAMBO retired from the Army as a Colonel, and therefore not entitled to have military guards, if not for the fact he was NSA. Even as NSA, such guards should have been withdrawn after his removal as NSA since he would not have been entitled. “The search was thoroughly conducted, and several items recovered, among which were some incriminating items. These include seven (7) high calibre rifles, (high assault weapons), several magazines and military related gears. “The team also recovered twelve (12) new vehicles, out of which five (5) were bullet proofs. These vehicles which are all exotic vehicles were retrieved from SAMBO’s residence having failed to produce evidence of ownership. For instance, what could he be doing with five (5) bullet proof cars as a retired NSA?. These cars which from all available evidence were purchased with tax payers’ money were being kept for possible sinister enterprise. “The Service would want to state categorically that this search operation is not a witch hunt. The Service decided to move at this time in line with current Management resolve to be proactive and pre-empt individuals with penchant for impunity and lawlessness from putting back the nation to the dark days. The Service is also aware that the lethal arms and the vehicles recovered were not reflected in SAMBO’s handover notes or what could a former NSA be doing with destructive weapons and bullet proof cars which put together could disrupt the peace of any city in Nigeria for a while. “On the search of his three (3) properties, including the Sokoto residence, the Service is aware that in his capacity and given his antecedents, he might decide to use any of his residences for such diabolical plans, rather than his main residence. “Gentlemen of the press, the Service Management would want to assure members of the public that it would not trample on the freedom of individuals or groups as guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution and emphasized by the current administration’s position on transparency, and probity underlined by justice and equity for all Nigerians. This is the driving force for all DSS operations. However, the Service would not hesitate to go after any person or group of persons, no matter how highly placed once such individual (s) breach or attempt to breach the laws of the Federation. The days for impunity and indecisiveness in the face of unpatriotic acts by individuals operating against the State are over. The Service hereby appeals to all Nigerians to be law abiding and partner with it in ensuring a peaceful and secured nation. In the same vein, those that are bent on breaking the rules governing our peaceful co-existence due to either the huge ill gotten wealth they have acquired or imaginary hold they think they have on our nation’s survival, are being warned to rethink. The DSS will use all constitutional means as defined by its mandate to deal decisively with such unpatriotic individuals. “The Management want to seize this opportunity to appreciate Nigerians for the tremendous acts of goodwill that is being extended to the new dispensation. The Management also wish to assure Nigerians that the gesture and confidence being expressed will be reciprocated with more dedication and service to our dear country Nigeria.”

barcanista:
Nonsense!
1. If he plays partisan politics, is his office not a partisan one? Is he a Service Chief or a civil servant? Is he not an appointee of a PDP government and a PDP member? Which NSA wasn't partisan?

2. If he has ties with IBB or Gusau what is wrong? Are they indicted for terrorism or outlawed? Is freedom of association not his right?

3. If Corruption, when did SSS have the mandate to arrest corrupt officials? Is SSS same as EFCC, ICPC and SFU? Is that even the legal procedure? Has he been invited/summoned? Is their any arrest warrant?

Why are Buharists so undemocratic? Is is despicable. Let me assure Buhari that he will be resisted if he wants to reinvent his dictatorial character. He's so undemocratic and hardened. If he has personal beef with Sambo Dasuki he should head to court and stop abusing agencies of the State.

Its like you are too sentimental or fool of the first order. All of these is attached to national security. So if you are trying to gain point from overruling the issue of national security then you get big ZERO.

You have been bias! I thought you will have reasonable suggestion but am disappointed. "drastic measure" indeed, so are telling me that should enforce a new dressing code in the North without considering the Tradition, Culture and even the Religion of the people in the North. That cant be possible here in Nigeria particularly the most Islamic religious north. You are telling me that the skin of a goat should shed alive in which it has been living with for more than 100yrs even before the advent for this so called BH. mehnn that will lead to a disaster. Even when America Forces is fighting in Afghanistan and the Taliban result in using this mean, America or Afghanistan government didn't enforce anything like. There should be some other way. telling north people to do away with Agbada, Babanriga, Hijab e.t.c lolz it is unfeasible.



Thank u. I am enjoying ur argument. But btwin legalization of gayism n enforcement of temporary dress code wch do u think will attract popular n serious condemnation by d people? Do ur culture n religion accommodate gayism? Why do u think it is a cultural n religious offence to legaliZe gayism in Nigeria?

Islam didn't allow gay and as well as I didn't condone it either. The western country too know Nigeria is steadfast to their religion doctrine whether Islam or Christianity. With thorough persuasion I believe America and its Zionist entity will understand. Buhari is from North there is no way he will legalize gay marriage. I believe is not just Buhari that will Legalize gay marriage it must pass through House of assembly the people's representative and it will still end the same way.

kahara:
Thank u. You must agree wt me dat d greatest means uses by BH to inflict greatest harm is tru suicide bombings. A critical situation requires a critical measure. Boko haram is now critical therefore requiring a drastic measure. Elsewhere i hav said it n i will say it again that the surest way to curb indiscriminate bombings by BH is to enforce a new dressing code across d North. The traditional Hausa/Fulani wears help d terrorists in concealing dia weapons. Nobody can wear a t-shirt or polo shirt n conceal IED in it. It's hard if not impossible. So my suggestn is fr PMB to ban certain type of wears to curb suicide bombing in d streets while d security forces concentrate on dislodging dem out of dia hideouts.

milychocs:
Why you had to use Onitsha, a SE homogeneous-ly Igbo, Christian city in a region that has been clamouring for a separation from the Nigeria entity as an example is beyond me right now?
Was that a scare tactic? That region lost a 3 year war....so guns/bombs will not faze it

But I tell you....it would be very foolhardy of anyone who wants one Nigeria to let BH related violence happen in the SE
Even the tiniest bit of violence

Because that would be an answer to the separatist movement
Biafra will then rise sooner than you would want.
So just leave this region the hell alone
Thanks

Its an assumption bros, assuming what is happening in the North presently is what is happening there, if Niger delta militant decide to go extreme without the support of some part in that region and they are now using that medium. will your shot gun be useful.

Thank you sir, can u please give a strategy in which our military can use to enter into hostile environment (sambisa) and engage an enemy who is using innocent humans as their shield without killing the innocent lives in the cross fire. USA military can assist Nigeria Army in one way or the other. One possible way is the using US military spy and surveillance satellites that can determine the movement and activities of the insurgent.


Thank u for ur submission broda. As a historian n international relations master, i am sure that no favor goes for free in the international system. When a state offers another state somthing it asks fr somthing in return. International aids are nt free. The US n leading European states hav hurriedly promised n even offered some aid to Nigeria almost immediately PMB assumed power. Guy u must hv read d thread here yesterday about how U.S.plan to persuade PMB to legalize gay marriage in xchange fr their support against Boko Haram. America does nt need our oil or money or anytin u may tink. All dey need frm u is to toe their policy line weda good or bad. My argument den is dat no amount of American or European aids to Nigeria can justify legalization of gay n lesbian bullshit in our dear country.

I agree with you and I believe everyone reading this too will believe the same. The hardest war to fight is asymmetric war which different from conventional war no force u repeat no force can boast of winning it. Even the elite America Army can't boast. Had it been the insurgents didn't use the tactics hiding behind the human shield, it will only take two jet fighter to level down the insurgent hideout. Now with all this what do you think can be the approach tactics that can be use, else many Soldiers and Civilians will die.

Mr. President Sir,i am glad u okeyed what we the honourable opposition critics are doing on Nland tryin to put u on ur toes n showing u d road u should follow. Sir for ur information, some APC sheep here no deh let us point dem where to graze to avoid destruction of agricultural crops.
Sir,make i tell u say d road to defeating Boko Haram must nt pass tru Washington because deh fit wash ur brain dia. The shortest road passes tru Sambisa via Bornu State.

EUROBOMBER:
Is this the type of government that Buhari intends to run? He wants to use the EFCC to harass the opposition politicians and leave the thieves in his party to walk free?

Why is Sule Lamido being harassed by the EFCC while Rotimi Amaechi is left to walk around freely?

I smh at Buhari.

Also, if Buhari arrest Amaechi while Lamido go scot free you will say Buhari is tribal bias.

FowlYansh:
And he values wearing pampers and taking selfie with cows more important than the security of the nation.

that was how your drunken ex dances around when Nigerian are dying. Or have u forgotten?

From my own opinion try to adjust yourself, I would not say abandon them like that because there is an adage that says; because of ten poor people we created one rich person. It is good to be kind to people no matter your relationship with them. Moreover this can be a test from God to see whether if he give you more that what you have presently how will you do. If you are doing good with good intention I swear you will never regret it, not only you alone us going reap the fruit of the kindness but, your children, grand children and great grand children. Remember "the hand if the giver always on top". Look if you are not giving them, saving all what you are earning you will still not contented with it. what you spend in charity is your own hereafter but what you keep is not yours. If you die ( which will not be your portion now) your money another person even your wife will become another person own. My guy if person ask 100 from give him/her 50 do your best and live the rest and see where God will pay you back.

mikeansy:
shebi he has already bailed out corrupt Governors who looted money they should have used to pay salaries

It seems funny that APC states were most hard hit by salary issues. It makes you wonder whether they used the money to fund Buhari election and Buhari is paying back through this bailout!

The ease with which Buhari agreed to bail out the states is quite curious and dodgy

so much for anti-corruption

But you didn't question what causes drop in federal allocation since last year in which Jonathan administration tailed it to drop in price of crude oil. Whereas, many billion dollars is leaked and he overlooked it. "stealing is not corruption"

Bolo haram, deadly terrorist sect Nigeria has never witnessed before suffered terrible defeat from the hammer hand of the Nigeria military. Because of this, they have resulted in their plan B tactics the most unconventional way of war even America the world power can't win. At this junction, what Nigeria needs to do is to is prayer. Irrespective of religion or ethnic let us all call God come to our rescue and destroy this sect and their sponsor because you never can tell what might happen in your region tomorrow, if you think your are not in North. well, nothing bad should happen in other places. where it is happening may God put a stop to it. end time is coming

OK! But note that ISIS is also operating on the same ideology. I guess they are also political! And may I ask, using my example above, if a muslim group starts attacking Winner's Chapel across Nigeria, what do you think will be the stand of DeeperLife Church, despite the fact that the two Christian bodies have slghtly different interpretation of the Bible?

ISIS is the made of USA through CIA covert operation. In order to topple the regime of Syria president bashar al- Assad and to re-enter Iraq once again. will you believe if I tell you Saudi, Turkey and Israel including USA are the country supporting ISIS. the weapon is entering through Turkey. Now Turkey is amass in troop near Syria for attack because Syrian army is shelling ISIS inside Turkey's border. All these is order of USA is to encircle Russia in order for the USA to be in total control of the world. After syria , Iran will be next there can never be peace in the middle east except USA is defeated. And who there to confront USA nobody except God.

DivineConnect:
. I quite understood your saying but it is very unfortunate that Nigeria graduates especially those with Bachelor Degrees project ego without actually showcasing the qualities of having such degrees. Though, by principle of Nigeria education curricula, BSc is rated higher than HND but many so called degree holders are really not meeting up; only putting up ego of having the certificate. All you have said is based on theories but contrary is the case in practice. If you could recall, Nigeria Society of Engineers once allowed HND holders to pass through graduateship examinations set by the body. To the dismay of many, the examinations were rubbished by many HND holders thereby qualifying them for corporate membership cadre of the institution. COREN had no option registering those in that category as qualified engineers. When such was noticed, they quickly moved on scrapping the examination. I was fortunate to be part of the team. As far as I am concerned, many of my collegues having B. Eng degrees are not performing better than I do in engineering design, leadership and management. In fact, some are not even meeting up what is expected of them. If Polytechnic education is strenghtened in Nigeria, brilliant minds will excel their counterparts in the universities. Many foreign polytechnics award degrees equivalent to universities with no iota of discrimination.I will not mince words by telling you that some polytechnic graduates are also a big shame to the their respective institutions while many polytechnics have no standards at all. I am of the opinion that the two set of graduates(degrees and HND) be tried in their respective offices before promotion. Whoever is not meeting up could be set aside. They should be given the right to aspire to the highest cadre so far they meet up the requirement. My friend, I still hold Bachelor Degree in Communication Technology coupled with my HND in Electrical Engineering. Let us drop discrimination but root for the best brains in the country. I do hope you will strongly believe that best brains are not limited to university system. Thank you.

Thank you! may God Almighty strengthen your knowledge and intelligent

frank043:
You can choose to take it or leave it, they ain't the same! Not just academically but professionally as well, they ain't the same. Even in the UK, HNC/HND and BSc ain't the same man... And that's a working system distinguishing both certificates. An engineer with a Bachelor's degree becomes registered after 4 years of experience, but an HND holder can never be an engineer, instead he gets registered as an engineering technologist. The only way is for him to get a bachelor's degree and get the experience and then get registered as an engineer. Their curricula ain't the same. HND holders are trained to become technologist, while BSc holders are trained to be researchers... Its like comparing an MEng with an MSc, the former is 12months,while the latter is 24months. The former ain't research, but the latter is, that is why they can proceed for PhD, while the former can't, except on conversion via MPhil. I can keep going, but I believe I have made my point... It's a very intricate and precarious situation.
I'm a civil/Structural engineer, and I have OND, HND(distinction), BSc(UIbadan)... Preparing for an MSc(outside the country). I hear you want to fight, for what??

Thank you! it is person like you I will like to talk, pls since experience in the two pls can u tell me any course you offer in Bsc that you have not come across in your HND. Mind yo if you do your research well, HNC/HND offering institution in UK are no more. so u can't use UK to judge. If you are not going to be sentimental about it, with what you did in your HND does the discrimination worth it. And besides where did u quote me that I said I want to fight. If I say Academic duel does that mean fight. Look I have already applied for Bsc in university of Ilorin and to your notice am pursuing first class insha Allah.

erico2k2:
I hope you start your own company instead of looking for work, Nigeria is Building,I envy you cos you chose the right Eng course, I wish I did that myself as start up in civil Eng is so easy than Mech Engin I did years back,Im now doing fastrack on civil Eng.good luck guy.

working for govt. and pp am building on that. Mech eng'g is not bad too. no any eng'g course is wasted it is just in Nigeria that didn't know the bearing is going. because of the corrupt people Nigeria.

Imokay:
Is the entry requirement the same for Universities and Polytechnics? Is the course content the same?
So why expect them to handle the same job descriptions.

In Engineering the hierarchy is Engineers--Technologist--Technicians--Craftsmen--Artisans

The qualification for each is clear and the roles they play are quite different and one cannot be substituted for the other.There may be overlaps in reality, but Imagine Technicians insisting to also carry the title Engr.
HND/Technologist need not have inferiority complex, there is dignity in labour.

I want you to tell the courses in which engineering student are offering in university that polytechnic students didn't offer. for me, am a graduate of polytechnic and I have met my counterparts from university and discovered that they are just empty barrel. i sent my transcript to world education service in USA and the number of credit unit I offered is even more than B.sc. note I graduated with distinction in civil engineering. if u are graduate of civil engineering we can enter into academic duel.
