He'll be in solitary confinement for life without an option of parole and with no contact with the outside world. That place is designed to crush the soul!

Battle tanks/armoured tanks are way different from APCs bruh... It's just like comparing a bullet proof prado and a caterpillar

Intellectual201:
Way to go. If we can produce an APC, we can also produce battle tanks. Congrats to proforce.

The Age of Terrorism that is now upon us has proven to be the greatest modern challenge to the legitimacy of all governments and international organizations who claim a commitment to human rights. Nowhere is this more evident today than in Nigeria, where terrorist violence and mass slaughter by Islamist groups are reaching genocidal proportions.

When President Obama famously dismissed the Islamic State as a “JV team,” he set an example that policy elites in the West unfortunately still often employ in dealing with religiously and ideologically motivated violence that they cannot understand. When necessary, deny facts that fail to conform to your view of reality.

Of course, this fashionably post-modern approach to foreign policy has its downsides. In the case of the Middle East, the downsides included an infamously savage reign of terror by ISIS that engulfed the Middle East in barbaric slavery, violence, and genocide.

Moreover, because western elites ignored the virulent nature of ISIS ideology — a religious totalitarianism committed to a global Islamist caliphate — they also failed to anticipate the reality that this ideology would inspire both a new terrorist movement and lone wolf actors around the world. ISIS was defeated in the Middle East but the “idea virus” that animated ISIS still lives on — with the mass murder and chaos engulfing parts of West Africa serving as a prime example.

In an earlier era, when the United Nations was confronted with warnings of an impending genocide in Rwanda, experts found bureaucratic reasons to do nothing effective. Specifically, when Canadian Lt. Gen. Roméo Dallaire, the Commander of UN peacekeepers in Rwanda, saw the bloodshed breaking out in that spring of 1994, he sought permission to intervene from UN headquarters. That request was denied — supposedly because there was no United Nations peacekeeping resolution with a mandate authorizing him to enforce peace.

Four years later, former U.S. president Bill Clinton went to Rwanda to apologize for the inaction from the United States and the international community in Rwanda that allowed a mass genocide to take place. President Clinton said, in part:

“The international community, together with nations in Africa, must bear its share of responsibility for this tragedy. We did not act quickly enough after the killing began… We did not immediately call these crimes by their rightful name: genocide.”

These exact words describe the situation today in Nigeria. Sunni Islamist militias — apparently often with the active or tacit approval of local military or police — are engaged in the mass slaughter of Christians, Shia Muslims, and local tribal religious groups. But many western policy elites – including some officials at the United Nations – explain these systematic campaigns of mass murder as really being about “grazing rights” or “land and water rights.”

Such narratives, one expert told me, “confuse the international community and provide cover for terrorists to kill tens of thousands and displace millions. How can desert encroachment explain or justify the mass slaughter of innocent civilians?”

The time has come for the international community to stop all pretense that what is happening in Nigeria is anything less than a genocide. Just as the free world united in the struggle against ISIS in the Middle East, every nation that aspires to the term “civilized” needs to join in ending this next international tragedy-in-the-making before it’s too late.

Global sports company PUMA just took another step towards its goal to become the World’s Fastest Sports brand, by signing Nigerian 100m/200m sprinter Ejowvokoghene Divine Oduduru, as well as Janeek Brown, the talented 21-year Jamaican standout 100m hurdler and National Record Holder.

Divine Oduduru was recently crowned the NCAA 100m and 200m champion in June. The 100m resulted in an eye-popping 9.86 time, which incredibly is also the second-fastest time ever run by a collegiate athlete. The mark also currently ties him for 2nd place on the world-list of the fastest 100m times so far this outdoor season. As if this were not enough, Oduduru also ran a personal best of 19.73 in the 200m, which followed his 100m final only 45 minutes later. And just like in the 100m, Oduduru’s time made him the second-fastest collegian of all-time, and he’s currently ranked 3rd by time on the world-plist so far at the deuce.

Not to be outdone, Janeek Brown won the 2019 NCAA title in the 100 meter hurdles, in an impressive new Jamaican national record of 12.40 seconds. Her record and new personal best also resulted in the second fastest Collegiate all-time mark, as well as putting her atop of the current world leaderboard. Interestingly, the previous Jamaican record of 12.45, held by Brigitte Foster-Hylton, had stood since 2003..

Wahala wa o

The global independent report on the persecution of Christians authored by the Rt. Rev. Philip Mounstephen Bishop of Truro in the United Kingdom was recently concluded and submitted to the Government of the United Kingdom. The report studied seven countries – Iraq, Indonesia, China, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Syria & Nigeria – as the world capitals for the persecution of Christians.

The report was concluded on July 4, 2019.In its examination of the killings in Nigeria, focused on the killings from Fulani herdsmen along the middle belt regions of the country. It cited the unwarranted killings of unarmed Christians by Fulani herdsmen who are often armed with sophisticated weapons. It observed that the security structure in Nigeria appears reluctant to go after the attackers. The military are more tuned to go after the victims – the report claims.

The report cites that Christians are clearly suffering persecution. The report claims the Buhari administration has done little to stop the tide of killings – instead, the Buhari administration have denied the occurrence of religious killings.

The Buhari administration have since become unsettled by the report and its submittal to the UK parliament.

Below is exerpt of the findings on Nigeria:

4.b.ii. Nigeria
The “intensification of conflict” in Nigeria in recent years comes at a time when 423 Christians in the country have suffered some of the worst atrocities inflicted on Churchgoers anywhere in the world. Since 2009, Boko Haram, the Islamist militant group in “allegiance” with Daesh (ISIS) extremists in Iraq and Syria, has 424 “inflicted mass terror on civilians, killing 20,000 Nigerians, kidnapping thousands and displacing nearly two million”.425 The kidnapping of “mostly Christian girls”426 from a school in Chibok north-east Nigeria in April 2014 and the forced “conversions” to Islam of many of the students, demonstrated the anti-Christian 427 agenda of the militants. Boko Haram’s continued detention of teenager Leah Sharibu , kidnapped in April 2018, showed that the militants were continuing to 428 target Christians. The Catholic Church in north-east Nigeria reported in spring 2017 that Boko Haram violence had resulted in damage to 200 churches and chapels, 35 presbyteries (priests’ houses) and parish centres. At least 1.8 million people in 429 north-east Nigeria’s Borno state had been displaced by March 2017, according to Church sources.

To this extent, Boko Haram delivered on its March 2012 promise 430 of a “war” on Christians in Nigeria, in which a spokesman for the militants reportedly declared: “We will create so much effort to end the Christian presence in our push to have a proper Islamic state that theChristians won’t be able to stay.” Hence, by 2017 it was being concluded that “Boko Haram has carried out 431 a genocide against Christians in northern Nigeria”.432

By that time, a new and growing threat to mainly Christian farming communities had emerged from nomadic Fulani herdsmen. The Fulani carried out attacks against Christian communities especially in Nigeria’s ‘Middle Belt’, the border territory between the Hausa-speaking Muslim areas in northern Nigeria and land further south mainly populated by Christians. Reports also showed mostly retaliatory attacks against Fulani by “predominantly” Christian farmers, such as the November 2016 killing of about 50 mainly Fulani pastoralists by ethnic Bachama local residents in Numan district, Adamawa state.

The causes of this 433 inter-communal conflict are complex and “attributed to many factors” ...
