Why people that are not first hand witnesses to events believe whatever is told them without waiting for more information is befuddling.

If you're unwilling to seek evidence or are impatient, the best passive policy is keep an open mind; that is, neither believe nor disbelieve.

Who knows, perhaps our eagerness to believe negative stuff so we can mouth off on, 'divide dis country' or cry, "Jappa" is why crimes are quickly forgotten. We are keen, you see, to move on to the next negative news.

Indeed.

Still, it somehow honours the memory of these soldiers and, in the doing, respects thire families if figures are made public. Then we are made aware the humanity of the soldiers and reassured that the military is one of the better Nigeria institution. There is care and regard implicit in the meticulous recording of the names, age, ranks and so on of these men and women lost in action in the defence of the people of Nigeria. Surly this trumps fear of affecting public moral.

The topic already tells you where the story will end.
I didn't even read more than the first paragraph before I knew the author of the article wanted Alh Dangote to sell part of his conglomerate.
Dangote is about to cripple a lot of business for the Europeans and their lackeys so I expect them to fight back bitterly.
The part of poor corporate structure of Dangote holdings is very laughable, at least Dangote even has a structure,I'm sure Elon Musk doesn't have any semblance of corporate structure with the way he runs his business.
People especially foreigners are not happy with Dangote total domination of the cement factory in Nigeria and some parts of Africa,now he will have the same total domination over oil and gas, especially in Sub-saharan African, that's a threat to a lot of global financial institution.
And finally his CEO made another statement that sent gitters down the spine of many parasitic companies and countries fleecing Africa,Dangote is moving into the steel sector, I expect the fight back to get more dangerous and bitter in the coming months.
God bless Alh Dangote
God bless Nigeria.
You're enlightened. Personally, I'll be amazed if the project sucseeds meaningfully. We have too many enemies, African nations among them.

Foreign AffairsGhana And Togo Rebuilding Border Markers by Litmus(op): 10:33am On May 11, 2022
Ghana and Togo have started a historic initiative to revive their fast-disappearing border markers in the face of rising insecurity and cross-border crimes in West Africa.

Experts from the two countries are expected to construct 50 new international boundary pillars along a 40km (25 miles) stretch.

Officials in Ghana say the construction of the boundary pillars has become necessary given some of them have either eroded or been removed by vandals.

The century-old markers were last repaired in the 1970s.

The authorities say the latest move is to stop border encroachment and could also help address Ghana’s longstanding maritime dispute with Togo in the Gulf of Guinea.

But some locals fear the exercise could put them on the wrong side of the border.

Some parts of the land borders between Togo and Ghana are seamless with communities from both countries mixing together for social and economic activities.

But there have been communal tensions too in some areas.

South Africa kidnapping: 'I survived but part of me died that day'

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/14CDD/production/_124431258_dsc_2140.jpg

After a surge in the number of abductions in recent years, South Africa has one of the highest rates of kidnapping in the world, as Mpho Lakaje reports from Johannesburg.

Lesego Tau did not panic at first when a stranger opened the back door of her grey Mercedes C-Class and climbed in.

She had parked outside a shopping mall in Johannesburg and was focused on texting a friend before going in to grab a few items for a get-together that evening.

"In my rear view mirror, I was looking and still thinking: 'This person is going to be so embarrassed when they realise they are in the wrong car'," she told the BBC, recounting the events of last June.

But this was not an innocent mistake.

"Our gazes locked and I realised what was happening."

This was a kidnapping.

Six months earlier, businessman Yasin Bhiku was grabbed in the driveway of his home, near Johannesburg, just after returning from the mosque.

CCTV footage that was widely seen on social media shows Mr Bhiku dressed in a blue T-shirt and black trousers calmly chatting to a friend.

Two men can be seen getting out of the car parked opposite. At first they stroll towards him, but then rush at him after Mr Bhiku realises what is going on and tries to flee.

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/17887/production/_124619369_abduciton.png
He was overpowered and forced into the vehicle at gunpoint. The businessman was later found unharmed and rescued by the police.

Ms Tau, who runs her own cleaning company in Pretoria, also tried to flee once she had figured out that she was about to be abducted.

She said she tried opening the door of her car, but another man, dressed as a parking attendant in a hi-vis jacket, blocked the door.

The man in the back seat showed that he had a gun and ordered Ms Tau to drive out of the shopping complex.

Along the way, she was told to stop and someone else jumped into her car.
Four-hour ordeal

Once in the countryside, about 15km (nine miles) into the terrifying journey, the kidnappers ordered Ms Tau to stop.

A red car then arrived at the scene and someone got out, took her bank cards and forced her to reveal her security codes.

"The other people from the car… started going through all my different cards. They were withdrawing [money]."

At the same time, her captors were repeatedly hitting her on the head with the gun, ordering her to increase her withdrawal limit.

The ordeal went on for over four hours.

At one point she heard someone on the other end of a phone call say: "Just finish her off. We are done."

"I made peace that they were going to kill me, but I thought, I need to fight. I have to fight. If they are going to kill me, I might as well fight," Ms Tau said.

She fought her way out of the car, but the kidnappers grabbed her and started hitting and scratching her. She got away and ran across the road into the oncoming traffic.


This story and that of Mr Bhiku are not isolated.

In February, Police Minister Bheki Cele revealed that 2,605 kidnapping cases had been reported to the authorities in the last three months of 2021.

In the decade from 2010, kidnapping more than doubled in South Africa and there are now 10 kidnappings per 100,000 people, according to the South African think-tank the Institute for Security Studies. This is one of the highest rates in the world.

In 2018, Mr Cele promised to make dealing with kidnapping a priority.

[img]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1632/idt2/idt2/6830b7e4-9e24-4b9b-8da5-b480ea8f2dc0/image/816[/img]

Victims have been kept against their will either for a ransom, to have their bank accounts cleaned out or be sexually assaulted.

Some did not make it out alive, though it is not clear how frequent this outcome is.

In an attempt to deal with these kind of crimes, the police launched a kidnapping task team, combining intelligence gathering with tactical response.
Crime syndicates target South Africa

One thing that has been established is that kidnappers tend to work in teams and the abductions follow a pattern with each gang member having a set role, police spokesperson Col Athlenda Mathe told the BBC.

"The spotters are those that would follow the target. The pickers are those who move in to kidnap the victim."

The kidnappers often drive high-performance vehicles and are usually heavily armed.

"Then we have the guards that would take over and keep the victim... until a ransom is paid."

But in the background, there is a mastermind who does thorough research and pulls the strings.

"The kingpin would be someone who lives a high-end life and wouldn't do the dirty job," Col Mathe says.

These criminal syndicates have tentacles in countries like neighbouring Mozambique and as far afield as Pakistan.

They tend to mostly target wealthy business people with the means to pay a ransom, but some victims have been from low-income areas and children are not spared.

Private hostage negotiator Gérard Labuschagne says there has been an increase in very high-value cases. Ransoms can be set at up to $3m (£2.3m)

"Organised groups operating in Mozambique and other parts of Africa have now decided, for whatever reason, that South Africa is ripe for this type of crime and they've been committing it very successfully," Mr Labuschagne says.

Some social commentators believe general lawlessness has made South Africa attractive to organised criminals from around the world.

In the face of public anger, the police acknowledge that more work needs to be done but Col Mathe says they have made progress.

"Since the identification of these syndicates, we have arrested 115 suspects, consisting of Pakistanis, Mozambicans as well as South Africans."

One of the suspects is 43-year-old Faizel Charloos, who was taken into custody in March.

He is believed to be the mastermind behind a spate of recent kidnappings.

During police raids in several Johannesburg properties linked to him, drugs, cash and a high-powered vehicle were recovered.

Mr Charloos recently appeared in court, along with several others, on kidnapping charges. He has made no comment.

It emerged that he has dual citizenship in South Africa and Mozambique.
'Police don't rescue victims'

In a separate case in April, police successfully rescued a four-year-old girl who was snatched at a school in Johannesburg, by a woman pretending to be her childminder.

Her kidnappers had earlier demanded thousands of dollars for her safe return.

But four people were arrested when they arrived outside a shopping centre to collect the ransom.

Despite such breakthroughs, Mr Labuschagne is not convinced the police are winning.

"We have had one or two arrests. But in the overwhelming majority of these cases, the police don't rescue the kidnapped victims from where they've been kept. They are released after a payment."

Ms Tau was lucky that she managed to get away, but her kidnappers took $1,400 (£1,100).

The ordeal has damaged her psychologically and left her family distressed.

"My father is not a man who cries, but he got teary. He kept on feeling like he could have protected me.

"There's still a part of me that actually died on that day."

I shan't tire of repeating, Evidence!!.

Evidence seeking is a good habit to adopt generally but it is a habit Nigerians desperately need to adopt in order to avert the catastrophe many external forces wish befalls you all through very basic levels of manipulation by them. Always Seek indisputable evidence.

In this case, show us the roasted cattle photos. Where are the live witness interviews?

Actually, in today's Mobile Phones world, live interviews, where obviously possible (such as in cases like this) should be prerequisites reporters employ as part of a series of proof items or tools to validate their report. And media news consumers - that's you and me - should begin to make the provision of these (photos, videos and interviews) a part of our evidence seeking culture .

South African Bleks grin like so many Africans from all these useless Nations up and down Africa are stupid and brainless . All the White South African needed to do was say that he thought he was shooting a Nigerian woman. If he had said this instead of the less stupid, "he thought she was a Hippopotamus", the bleks over there would have been happy and satisfied . Even the blek woman's relatives would have been placated. Next he should have gone on Youtube and said, "i am fed up with Nigerians in my country ,which was why i shot the woman. I thought she was Nigerian". And, of course, Nigerians would have respond by calling him a racist. He then would say, "I'm no racist, Nigerians are the problem". This will then illicit all of Africa to come to his defense, cussing Nigerians and claiming that it is true, Nigerians are causing problems in their various Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal shitholes.

Anyway i guess white South Africans are also stupid too for not realizing what a bonanza they have waiting for them to get away with racism by using mistaken identity as a ruse to kick in the heads of blekies grin
