Bandits seem enveloped in an air pocket of fun, a sure sign they have nothing to fear from the authorities in the form of our security industry. Criminals in Britain or the US wouldn’t dare post this type of images online or provide them to newspapers for publication because Brit or US police would use the image to track them down.

You must be a good pretender not know the situation of things in Nigeria. You that is living in the lofty of enjoyment and safety, writing about your good life would be a best seller.

You're right, as I'm typing this, I'm dodging bullets flying through my window. Oh sorry, I don't have windows, ha, ha, I'm in terrible Nigeria, I have zinc. Oops, I can't believe I've just laughed - a rare sound in this country. In fact, there's crying outside ,now, from the neighbors, Fulani kidnapped some of thire children. The racket from the gunships circling above is making it hard to hear the gun battle taking place between the police and gunmen near the filling stations. I have not eaten for days because area boys burnt down the market yesterday. I have no water, no light and the dog has just died from heatstroke. Yet I'm here pretending that Nigeria is okay. I'm sorry for pretending.

Incidentally, I hope you're alive today o.

Present Nigeria situation is more dangerous than that UK river. The good thing is that missing a simple jump one would know that he or she is going good to die but living in Nigeria of this day gives one a false hope which leads faster to death

Wow what a precarious life you must lead in Nigeria. In my minds eyes, I have this image of 200 million Nigerians, men, women and children, docking and diving, just trying to evade all sorts of unique dangers in order to stay alive one more day. Why not write a novel relating the dangers you face daily in Nigeria with emphasis on your daily near death escapes, I’m sure it will be a best seller.

A good idea that will help if they actually implement it fully, meaning with police integrated central command, full time paid CCTV controllers, forensic teams, dedicated armed responses units ete. Nigeria needs to adopt the philosophy, ‘anything worth doing, needs doing with utmost effort that yields results, becoming institutional.

When Nigerian police are at least able to get majority of serious criminals in time if they are unable to catch them on time, security will begin to improve in Nigeria even if borders are neglected. Majority of grievous crimes are committed by same people or group of people and those on the sidelines that are always tempted but aren’t bold enough to commit to deviant lifestyles are then encouraged by the fact that career deviants are never caught.

Walkee:
what evidence do you want to seek? what exactly is it you don't understand? Julius Caesar died over 2000 years ago, JFK died in the 1960s how exactly did the fact that my expression was simply sarcastically hyperbolic escape you? How will you kill someone that died 2000 years ago yesterday?

huh?

Lol

Walkee:
lol. You are seriously delusional. I don't believe I have ever hit anyone since I became an adult. I don't even talk to people talk less of following crowd.
Nigerian security forces have proven to be the lowest of all humans, even worse than a terrorist. When you see a terrorist you know he is a terrorist and is simply there to make your life miserable. Nigeria police kill indiscriminately, steal and kidnap people while collecting salary from them to protect their lives and properties. Nigerian soldiers? Lol don't even get me started.
Nobody who sees me in real life ever agree that I belong to the Nigerian society. I can spend one month inside my room if I have food and basic necessity.

Why are you then gladly endorsing an attitude of not seeking evidence evident in majority of these simple minded respondents on here? Intelligent people like you ought to be Nigeria's hope but you're joining the mob wide-eyed.

In spite of our prejudices, it is imperative we are objective as much as is humanly possible. Not doing so when one knows better - and it is evident that you do - makes one seem evil.

I apologize for my statements but I wanted to jolt you.

Walkee:
if someone tells me a Nigerian police man or soldier cut off the balls of Julius Caesar or John F. Kennedy fried and ate it in his village yesterday, I 100% believe the person.

Ironically, of all the responses I've read so far, you make the most sense. You also seem the most intelligent because you at least recognise that you're a typical African brute, satisfied with reacting emotionally and understanding it's what you're doing. I say brute because you're the type of person that would engage in lynching someone accused of being a thief or a Witch knowing full well that they may not be guilty or that lynching is in anycase questionable. For you the main thing in such a situation is the actual act of killing such individuals, any question of thire guilt or innocence are mere niceties that would get in the way of the act of killing them. Other participants in the lynching are mearly simple minded folks that do what they do because it was always thus and it never occurs to them that anyone being lynched would ever be lynched unless they are guilty.

Africans and tall buildings, look at this monstrosity built in Angola, a nation who's population density is among the lowest in the world.

BabaOwen:
Bye bye

Baba, I doubt any poster on this military thread has the ability to do anything about your concerns. Since it seems as if the majority on the thread are not in league with your sentiments, or that your persistence has had the counterproductive effect of hardening their resolve against you, why not share these concerns with the military? I'm confident you have the ability to get your massage seen at the very top. However, if your real mission is as part of a group of people charged with ensuring Nigerians see nothing good in any part or institution of their country, you’re wasting your time here. You can’t force intelligent people to see things only from your perspective.

DJ10rounds:
Only God can save one in this country. No day passes without a case of death. Being alive is a big miracle. Pls keep the orders coming .i deliver soybean powder to anywhere in Nigeria

I know what you mean because when people wake up in other countries no death occurs every day.

Seriously though, this may be the first recorded IED farm death in Nigeria. IDE farm deaths are a sign you're living in a typical African country, something Nigeria never used to be. Princess Diana made tackling this sort of IED's her signature charity speciality.

The typical African crapery and stupidity is slowly robbing off on Nigeria and govt need to work harder to prevent it.

franugo:
Why so tribalistic?

Ipob is not a tribe.

afroniger:
Social media misinformation may trigger World War 3 at this rate.

Some of this on Niaraland is sociological experiment by some outside groups to see if Rwanda can be replicated in Africa again given that the history of Rwanda is present as a detering reference. They have been trying for a very long time on Nigerians, they worked really hard. It helped that men like Kanu, for political reason, was intent on stirring up Nigerians along ethnic lines. But Kanu is not the only guilty one, every poster on Niaraland that engaged in Ethnic/tribal bigotry share some responsibility for these deaths. It went on before Fulani or herdsmen killings became a focal point.

PROPHETmichael:
Iphone that came out in 2017 was IPhone 8, Looking at it now, was it worth it considering the fact that 12 different models of IPhones has been released after Iphone 8? If someone dash him that iPhone 8 now he will reject why because there are better and advanced models.

As I'm typing this, someone somewhere in the North, West, East and South of Nigeria is planning to kill someone because of IPhone 12...Oh Nigerian youths, is it really worth it?

I doubt in this case, any case since or any to come, that anyone plotted murder in some dingy dark place, or in bed with hand behind head, for mobile phone or 10 naira. It is likely such killings for phone or other similarly petty items - as draws incredulity from readers of the drama afterwards - occur due to some struggle between robber and potential victim. It may also occur because assailant sprang a planned surprise attack, striking assailed on the head in the mistaken belief that, like in movies, doing so would render assailed unconscious for easy dispossessing but instead death resulted.

In any of these instances the court is not going to be lenient with the perpetrator due to accepting perpetrator killed unintentionally because it is difficult to establish that this is true. Worst is if perpetrator is a callous type that set out to rob, not intending to kill, but is indifferent anyway if death results and would proseed to dispose of such bodies. Disposing of dead bodies without notice, even if you’re not responsible for the death, let alone if you are but unintentionally, is not a good look.

The kind of thread that sweets fulani and yoruba

Stop acting victim when you're helping to create victims, example the Hausas that lost their lives and property in Oyo.

Gerrard59:
You think if Nigeria was as rich as South Korea, they'd ban us?

Yes, I do. Nigeria is in tit-for-tat with UAE so UAE is being political although using the Covid stuff as cover. Nigeria isn’t fully committed to the brinkmanship since Nigeria is governed by a Muslim, the life activities of many wealthy and influential northern Muslim Nigerians is limited to the Arab world and to these people the White Arab world is also senior in religious terms. Besides of this, UAE is more able to count on the tacit support of Arab world unlike Nigeria that has no support from black nations because black nations are weak and riven by petty jealousies, bickering and crab mentality – such as you’ve just exhibited by mentioning inconsequential Ghana and Kenya in the same breath as Nigeria.

Although, in this instance, Kenya is more relevant since Kenya like Nigeria has rooted Islamic World ties


So, yeah, UAE has nothing to offer Nigeria that Nigeria cannot get elsewhere if Nigeria decides to set aside the relevance of UAE in the Islamic sense and place where Wealthy Nigerian Muslims as well as other Nigerians go to holiday or and buy stuff.

Gerrard59:
If that were the case, the UAE won't do what she did So, because of some infinitesimal number of tourists who I bet don't spend over 5K dollars in entire spending per trip, the UAE should overlook Nigeria's corrupt acts in issuing Covid-19 results?


It's the braggadocio that gets pissed up. If Nigerians in the UAE are so economically important, how come there's no Nigerian who has gotten permanent residency status like Indians, Brits and Pakistanis? You people overrate your economic importance.


Balderdash!

UAE can act this inconsiderately because they understand that Nigeria is hamstrung often by sentimental block interest within Nigeria. There appear to be a hierarchy among Muslim Nations to do with Islamic traditions or beliefs, which I don’t understand, but observe. Nations with predominantly black Muslims seem somehow beholding to Islamic nations inhabited by paler peoples such as Saudi Arabia, UAE etc. Islamic block interest in Nigeria prevents Nigeria from retaliating against the UAE as Nigeria should. Should Nigeria reacts too strongly UAE would take this as an affront and it would be as if and insult shared by the powerful white Arab world. Nigeria in truth gains nothing beneficial from UAE but UAE benefits from Nigerian holidaying and shopping there.

dowap3:
I think you need to discuss your "one africa" with someone else, I have already stated with arguments that what we are doing is not "one africa". Rather what we are doing is "fulani colonisation of nigeria". I am not interested in talking about "one africa". I am too busy trying to inform people about what is happening so that my people don't get annihilated by a genocide.

I guess we both have our priorities, now don't you ever talk to me about "one africa" again !

You dont see the links then As far as I’m concerned one Africa is for those African nations and nationals that eye Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya etc with envy.

dowap3:
"One africa" can not be a unilateral thing. That is absolutely not what is being done here, rather what we have is much like the jewish state and the sudanese "right to return". This is an ethnic cleansing.

You may say this is absolutely not what is being done here but if you’re going to have free movements due to these one Africa arrangements, of which ECOWAS is but a foretaste, Fulani or other African groups have legitimate rights to Nigeria. You may say that people moving into different African nations are mandated to obey local laws, which is true but you’d be foolish if you assume this guarantees that they will be law abiding. Indeed Africans would be stupid to think one Africa will end wars in Africa. Nigerians would be foolish to assume that all mighty one Africa would lead to the peace and prosperity that relatively minor one Nigeria couldn’t.

dowap3:
Nigeria is at war.
Nigeria is facing the same thing as what sudan faced.
Fulani from all over west africa are being allowed free passage into nigeria in order to take over the land from the indigenous people through genocide. Any fulani from any country in this world is also considered to be a nigerian by the nigerian government.

That is what is going on.

Buhari is 100% behind this and this explains why he made sure the entire executive branch of government was filled with fulani sunni muslims.


Just take a look at this video from the beginning to date 8:50

Quite apart from your hysterical note, I’d like to say majority of Nigerians seem to want one Africa with its one passport, one market, one currency. open borders and such nonsense. I’ve never understood why and never was convinced by those arguments in favour. Currency

Oluwa18:
A little back story.
I am a 36 YO guy with no university certificate, was too wayward to finish school in FUTO then, left school in my 2nd year for a 4 year course.

Tried my hands on business years later and currently have 7M naira saved.
Now, I want to go for degree and eventually start a family .
I am considering seeking admission in a UK or Canadian school. Luckily, I have sponsors .

For a guy of my age , looking to study IT related course or physiotherapy and eventually seeking residency, would you recommend UK or Canada?
Please I need supported answers.

Thank you all.

If at 36 you don’t know what to do with your life and need to ask for advice on an extremist platform such as Nairaland instead of families and friends then I’m afraid the problem isn’t Nigeria but you.

Gerrard59:
I warned you people. Don't ever try fighting with a rich person but your nauseating braggadocio won't allow you.


Next time, you people will learn that economics trumps everything.

Rubbish. Dubai stand to lose more if Nigeria govt has the guts to retaliate. What does Emirates do for Nigeria? On the other hand, Nigerians spend millions there.

Guinea declares Ebola epidemic:

Guinea has officially declared that it is dealing with an Ebola epidemic after the deaths of at least three people from the virus.

They - and four others - fell ill with diarrhoea, vomiting and bleeding after attending the burial of a nurse.

Newly developed vaccines will be acquired through the World Health Organization (WHO), officials said.

Between 2013 and 2016 more than 11,000 people died in the West Africa Ebola epidemic, which began in Guinea.

Why Ebola is so dangerous
First Ebola case linked to bat play

In response to that epidemic, which mainly affected Guinea and its neighbours Liberia and Sierra Leone, several vaccines were trialled, which have since been successfully used to fight outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

"The WHO is on full alert and is in contact with the manufacturer [of a vaccine] to ensure the necessary doses are made available as quickly as possible to help fight back," the AFP news agency quotes Alfred George Ki-Zerbo, the WHO representative in Guinea, as saying.

An Ebola vaccine was first trialled over four months in 2015 in Guinea - and drugs that can increase the survival rate of patients have also been developed in recent years.
How did this outbreak start?

Nigerians turning into black people, see dialogue:

'Hausa man killed a Yoruba man
Yorubas retaliated and killed Hausa men'

Meanwhile America, United Arab emirates, India are planning to colonise Mars and mine for gold and diamonds on asteroid, while France and other European collaborators are rumoured to be making significant Quantum Computing breakthroughs.

Army, Amotekun and ESN cannot do the work meant for police. Nigeria needs a police force. Police forces are sophisticated institutions and not jumpt up , quickly created single purpose community vigilantes (/ militias in waiting) that is essentially your Amotekun and ESN .

Nigeria needs a police force and more prisons built.

So a snapshot of individuals dialoguing on twitter in ways you don't appricate suddenly means Nigerians are cows, mad, insane and so on. It never occurred to some of you that there will be many Nigerians that also support this mister Macaroni and will voice thire concerns and appreciation for him in appropriately caring ways ?

And what even gives you the moral or intellectual high grounds to even insult an entire nation based on your disapproval of a few people's position on twitter when it escapes your inteligence that even more of you on this Niaraland thread are expressing the opposite position evident in you condemning them? Are you individuals not also Nigerians ?

Apart from all that, you can't entirely dismiss some people that wonder if Macaroni did what he did altruistically for Nigeria and not cynically for his own media brand. Does he not now have "hero of the people", (some of them at least) bragging rights?

Anyway, the days of oil as potential wealth is gone or going, Nigerians at all levels need to read more about the world.

Central or and State Governments need to educate the people on world events as a matter of priority. Educating the people doesn't have to mean doing so limited to schools, collages and Uni's. We could use TV's, Radios, pamphlets, bill boards, Churches, Mosques, all sorts of centre's etc, ignorance is partly what is fueling unrest in Nigeria.

Nigerians have a diamond of a country and are in danger of throwing it all away due to stupidity exploited by few psychopathic men looking to benefit themselves.

Neddstark:
Get an AK47 and fight against it. Dont just make noise online, put some action.

What good did that do Congo? Congo has vast resources all benefitting France, Europe Rwanda and Uganda, due to conflicting regions, locals etc under Warlords and thire militias .
