Crime › A Kenyan Woman Arrested By Bees After Stealing From A Man by Morbeta11(op): 9:41am On Mar 10, 2024
Just saw this trending video of a woman with bee hives-like on her face. It being reported that she was arrested by bees after stealing from a man she spent the night with...the bees in Kenya are catching thieves more than police. Maybe while we consider creating state police in Nigeria, let there be Bureau Of Bees Department (BOBD)

If we start selling oil in naira, can we buy from China and Europe with Naira?

It will bring more hardship.

Why don't we wait till we start producing most of the things we use in Nigeria?

Nigeria is like a child that his father is a Village palm wine tapper, managed to send him to a university, and the child is trying to chill with the big boys, it will end in tears.

Family › Re: Simo Häyhä, The Deadliest Sniper In History by Morbeta11(op): 11:23pm On Mar 07, 2024
The White Death, the deadliest sniper who ever lived, 1939-1940 Simo Häyhä was a Finnish farmer who took part in hunting and target practice from a young age. In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland.

It began the Winter War or the Russo-Finnish War, and a young Simo Häyhä answered the patriotic call by joining the Finnish army to defend his homeland. Häyhä's home was also close to the border with Russia, which further fuelled his drive to defend his country.

Häyhä demonstrated incredible marksman abilities. He could fire 16 rounds per minute while hitting his target. This was exceptional as his rifle was the bolt action SAKO M/28-30, a Finnish version of the Russian Mosin Nagant.

This rifle only took five bullets using stripper clips. He also used the Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun. Häyhä also showed extraordinary abilities in skiing, which allowed him to travel quickly to new locations with very little noise.

Häyhä had several advantages. He knew his environment and wore white camouflage, making him very difficult to spot in the snow. He would pack snow around his position and would often put snow into his mouth to make the vapour from his breath not visible. The Soviet soldiers did not wear white camouflage and wore khaki uniforms.

Stalin had just purged many Red Army officers during the Great Purge, an event where Stalin killed many officers who served Vladimir Lenin. This was to ensure that they were loyal to Stalin. However, it meant that the Red Army was highly unorganized at the time due to inexperienced leaders.

During his time in the war (which only lasted 5-6 months), Häyhä killed 505 Soviet troops with his rifle. He also killed 200 with his Suomi submachine gun. He did this in less than 100 days. Häyhä achieved the highest amount of sniper kills ever.

The most incredible part is that he did this with iron sights and not with a scope, as the reflections from the sun on the scope could have exposed his position. The Russians feared him so much that they gave him the name "The White Death".

He was shot in the face with an explosive bullet but survived. He died in 2002 at the age of 96. His kill count is a topic of debate.

Simo Häyhä, The Deadliest Sniper in History
By Carl Seaver

The Winter War, also dubbed the Russo-Finnish War of 1939, was between the Soviet Union and Finland at the beginning of World War II.

Finland believed the Soviet Union wanted to expand into its territory. But on the other hand, the Soviet Union feared that Finland would allow itself to be used as a base for enemies to attack.

The Soviet Union demanded that Finland cede substantial border territories in exchange for land in another territory. When Finland refused, the Soviet Union invaded with 21 divisions totaling 450,000 men.

However, the Finnish Army had scouted the area and made fire plans, seeking help from Sweden and the Western Allies in anticipation of the invasion.

The war was a test of the resolve of the Finnish Army, and although small and under-resourced, the army took on the strength of the Soviet Union’s Red Army.

The Red Army, ill-led, could not handle the Finnish terrain and winter weather. Despite the military strength and ammunition of the Red Army, they were greatly defeated and suffered an immense loss.

Unfortunately, Finland resisted for only three months as the Red army came back stronger with modern equipment.

Finally, exhausted from the constant war, Finland succumbed and was forced to sign the Peace Treaty of Moscow in 1940, ceding 11% of its border areas to the Soviet Union. One of the brave Finnish Army soldiers to grace the battlefield was Simo Häyhä.


Simo Häyhä Early Life and Military Years
Simo Häyhä, AKA “Simuna,” “The White Death,” and “The Magic Shooter” (1905-2002), was a Finnish military sniper in during the 1939-1940 Winter War against the Soviet Union and World War II.

He was born on December 17, 1905, to Juho and Kathriina Häyhä in the Kiiskineh hamlet of the Rautjarvi municipality in the Viipuri Province of Southern Finland near the borders with Russia.

Before joining the military service, he was a farmer, hunter, and skier. His hunting experience taught him how to exploit the battlefield terrain.

At 17, he joined the Finnish voluntary Civil Guard. Successful in various local shooting competitions, he was awarded for his skilled marksmanship. In 1925 at 19, he started his 15 months of military service in the Bicycle Battalion 2 in Raivola.

However, Simo did not receive formal sniper training until 1937 at a training center in Utti. He served as a military sniper in the Finnish Army during the Winter War under Lieutenant Aarne Juutilainen in the 6th company of Infantry Regiment 64.

He ranked as an Alikersanti (Corporal). When the Soviet Union launched an attack on Finland, Simo leaped to defend his country.

He was among the few soldiers tasked with defeating the overwhelming military strength of the Red Army. Camouflaged in complete white, Simo, alongside other snipers, stationed themselves in the snowpits in cold weather temperatures between 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Simo dealt with the extreme cold by dressing in multiple layers of clothing. He also kept sugar and bread in his pocket to keep his body warm. In addition, he developed clever tactics to keep him invisible from enemies in the cold for hours.

One was that he kept the snow in his mouth while sniping to prevent his breath in the cold air from revealing his position.

He is reported to have killed 25 Red Army men in one day. He was a master at using smoke, sounds, and artillery fire to cover his tracks when changing positions. Without relying on maps, Simo depended on his memory to find the best hiding spots.

In his private war memoir titled Sotamuistoja, which was discovered in 2017, Simo estimated he killed over 500 enemy soldiers during the war.

Incredibly, Simo achieved this feat in less than 100 days. With a Finnish-produced M28/30 (a Civil Guard variant of the Moshin-Nagant Rifle) and a Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun, Simo never missed a target.

As a result, he was named the deadliest sniper in history, and his record of sniper kills still stands today. In addition, Simo became the leading theme of Finnish propaganda, featuring in several newspapers as a hero.

Simo was awarded the First and Second Class Medals of Liberty and the Third and Forth Class of Cross Liberty. He was promoted to Second Lieutenant in 1940. Also, he was nominated as a Knight of the Mannerheim Cross, the most distinguished Finnish military honor.

Additionally, he donated his famous rifle to the Karelia Jaeger Battalion’s Heritage Room, where it was transferred to the Finnish Military Museum’s collection.

Simo Häyhä’s Near-Death Experience
Simo was a nightmare for the Soviet Union’s troops until he was severely wounded on the battlefield on the 6th of March 1940. He was injured by the explosive bullet of a Red Army soldier, which struck his lower left jaw.

Appearing dead, he was placed on the pile of dead bodies. Rumors of his death had spread in Finland and the Soviet Union. This was until he was found alive, though unconscious, by a fellow soldier.

Sadly, the bullet had ripped apart his face, removing his upper jaw, most of his lower jaw, and left cheek. He regained consciousness after a week when the peace treaty was already signed.

Simo suffered lasting facial scarring after undergoing 26 surgeries and spending 14 months in recovery. Unfortunately, his speech was never fully restored.

Simo lived to the age of 96, passing away in 2001.
