Exactly! This guy's should think out of the box. They should study the approach of president suharto of indonesia, most times we loose when we approach an issue without envisaging the consequences. It can be likened to killing the male lion in a pride this obviously does not stop the pride from hunting.

That dead guy isn't worth the lives of 4 operatives, I mean do this guys use intelligence at all, how can you lose 4 men fighting a rag tag gang, the army is very disappointing in the way they carry out their operations

Even osama bin laden was killed by the US special forces without any casualty except a dog if I am right.

Joke of the century!

Mr Garba hope you know that forgery is a lesser crime compared to terrorism which carries a death penalty in all the countries of the world including your fellow muslim nation. A forger is not a threat to national security. Please if you have nothing to offer kindly keep quiet.

Kebbiprince:
How do u mean, you decide to kill your people bc u seek for freedom, who does that? We can only applaud u to destroy yourself

But bokoharam and bandits all have the same trademark! Rejoicing when an individual is killed is what I am against and not the predator. I believe you cannot rejoice when bokoharam kill's an innocent person simply because they want to entrone their own idealogy in the name of religion.

No matter how good you are, you can never please a wrong person.

Correct.

Kebbiprince:
Lol, they killed James Ugwu possibly from Nsukka too. Nice kill all yourselves modafuckers

Where's the humanity in you?
Is this the message of ramadan?
You are supposed to avoid anything that will lead you to sin during this period than rejoicing over the death of someone you don't know. I believe that this not what the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) enjoined you to do.
Have a nice day.

If we in the north behave u guys are behaving all these while ehn even 1 eastern wont be able 2 stay here in the north. Big shops, houses, businesses belongs 2 igbo people here

Go ahead and see if the country would not be occupied by the west. Nigeria is dieing and what you see are signs of death pangs look at the stars in heaven have you witnessed a dieing star? Does it burn out or explode before going off . Our soldiers are killed in the north as well but how many times have there been reprisal? I believe the military should not be used for internal peace keeping operations. It quite unfortunate that the same citizen that they are supposed to protect are the one taken them out, the question is how did we arrive at this point in our nation's history? Have you ever heard of Americans killing their soldiers? Let us sometimes think out of the box and be honest with ourselves if we want to turn this country around.

You may never have treated her badly but try to remember that other lady you treated badly before jumping unto your wife.

It may not be her you wronged that is making you suffer this but what about that other lady you wronged? Have a rethink.

Somewhere sometime ago, someone was willing to accept, love and respect you but you treated her badly and abandoned her for a green snake prolly for some lame reasons you guys think it's what marriage is all about.

Things don't just happen for no reason. Check yourself.

Are you alright?

Hugomexis:
During the week,I made a visit to my bank to handle some little technicalities as regards my dollar account.

I got in,chatted with the the customer care agent for a while before he directed me to the person who could help rectify the issue.

I went into the office to behold a female banker behind the desk.Her facial features wasn't so prominent as she had a mask on.

'welcome.Good afternoon',she said as she saw me.

'Thank you.Good afternoon.I'm Hugomexis.I have an issue I would like you to solve'.

As she was helping me rectify the issue,she pulled down her mask under her jaw.She said it slightly obstructed her breathing.My God she was so pretty with bright,piercing eyes and finely shaped lips.

As I was still admiring her,news report about Davido and his shenanigans came up from the TV in her office.They were dissecting his matter on one TVC entertainment show .

I was watching it when she casually quipped in

'I hope you're not irresponsible like him'.

I laughed and asked her how.She said it's only an irresponsible man that will go about impregnating different women.

I assured her I was responsible.In fact,I don't have time for such.we chatted for some time on different other issues.I found her quite versatile as she had something tangible to say on each topic we discussed.

When she was done rectifying my issue,I told her it'd be nice to see her some other time,away from her working hours of course.I asked for her number.To my surprise,she wrote it down on a sheet of paper and passed it to me.I picked it up,dialled her number and made sure she saved it before bidding her fare well.

I called her today in the morning and we spoke at length on trivial issues.I asked her if she could come to my place tomorrow but she declined,stating she would prefer to meet in a public place.

I suggested if we could go watch movies and she was fine with it.Tomorrow,we'd have fun.

Kids corner.
Your dollar account did the magic.
That's the way they roll, you will find out later.

Please anyone close to Buhari should inform him that the exclusion of the igbos in sensitive appointments could cause a disaster that has never been imagined.
I see a second civil war. The eastern governors are pretending but they know everything that is being cooked.
Please don't delete this post.
Buhari should find a way of solving nepotisic injustice.
I am not saying that the presidency should go to the south but pls south east should be called to a negotiation table before the mantle is given to Tinubu.
Please I am not an Igbo man but I love this country.
Anarchy looms, I see war, I see war.

Please don't delete this post.

There is no ESN anywhere. Those are just experiments. The governors know all these. Please do not play with this.
I am not in the country. So I am not scared.

Your guess is as good as mine. But in a country where injustice is a mantra, many would be too colour blind to see anything. War doesn't happen overnight, just like the rain it builds up overtime before finally hitting the ground. And just like OBJ once said no one can predict the outcome of any war! A little slip somewhere along the way can change the cause of war. No one likes war, but just like Von Clauzwig (the German military strategists) once said " war is a continuation of economic by other means" let is hope and pray that Nigeria is spared the consequences of another war brought upon herself by her stupidity.

oilyngbati:
These ipooos terrorists are the most brainless clowns you can ever imagine on the face of the earth. I used to think the almajiris were irredeemable, but ipooos are beyond redemption. First all, this particular Ambazonian guy is not the true leader of the movement in ambazonia, he had a fall out with the head of that movement for funds misappropriation and was removed. He has now formed a faction of his own.
Besides, how can a blind man lead another blind man? Amabazonians are not free yet, they’re not recognized by any country of the world, so of what use are they to the Biafran struggle? To get Biafra, you must get the go ahead of a major power that can counter the creator of Nigeria-the British. South Sudan is a prime example of this. It took the USA to finalize the recognition and establishment of South Suda republic. Nnamdi Kanu, the usain bolt of our time is just a scammer.

My brother let them go! Enough of these epistle that they are brainless or that! Don't tell me that if you have a sister in an abusive marriage that you will encourage her to remain. Most of the comments spewed on nairaland gives credence to the fact that Nigeria is afraid to loose them.

valentineuwakwe:
The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday passed a vote of confidence on President Muhammadu Buhari.

The decision was taken at the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) 9th meeting at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.

John Akpan Udoedehe, CECPC Secretary, announced the deliberations and resolutions in a statement.

The meeting discussed the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council Elections, CECPC activities in the last quarter, the ongoing membership registration, revalidation and update exercise and the insecurity in Nigeria.

The scribe said the CECPC resolved to commend Buhari “for the counteractions taken against the spate of insecurity in some parts of the country and pass a vote of confidence on him.”

The APC urged leaders at all levels to show restraint “in comments that do not unite the country in the face of insecurity”.

A Registration Appeal Committee will be set up to consider complaints that may arise from members on the conduct of the membership registration, revalidation and update exercise.

The committee members expressed satisfaction with the CECPC Chairman and Yobe Governor, Mai Mala Buni for his “peaceful mien and dexterity”.

You see, during the Niger delta crisis, the militants used oil as a bargaining tool, they hit Nigeria at the heart, they attacked the oil revenue, Nigeria bleeded and call them to the table.

IPOB has no bargaining chip. This brings me to why IPOB terrorist wants imo states by fire and force, imo state seems to be the only state in the south east with some oil, it contributes about 1.09% of total oil produce in Nigeria, note, this is very insignificant but they think if they can create choas in the land, then they will get access to the oil well in that state.

Now, this is a very dumb approach, that is because the oil is insignificant and wont affect Nigeria even if pipelines are bombed 24 hours a day.

Mr Kanu the terrorist knows he has no bargaining chip, no wonder, he spends his time looking to partner and support any groups within and outside Nigeria that wants Nigeria break up.

He believes the more partnerships he creates with other tribes looking to break out of Nigeria, the more choas they create together.

A genuine freedom fighter is a fighters that stays at home and lead his people to freedom, he faces every persecution at home, he has a load to carry.

An imposter, fights for freedom from London

Just like your Ayatollah khomeini was Fighting from Tehran when he overthrew the shah of iran or ockallan is fighting the Turkish govt from Ankara.

No be only deny... they will soon know Nigeria has an army.

Mumu talk!
Ask yourself why there was no response from the army cantonment at obinze. Nigeria is finished but you believe that the Nigerian army would save it.

I think that people like you should understand that what the british could not accomplish is what you are trying to achieve in Nigeria. Whether nigeria has an army or not is immaterial. Constatinopole fell to mohamed 11 irrespective of the size of the roman army! Study history and learn that the art of war is different from your understanding of it.

*The Fulani as the North’s bogeyman, by Hassan Gimba*

We grew up seeing the bogeyman here and there. Between 1967 and 1968, I lived with my paternal grandmother, Iya, later Hajia Iya after she visited Makkah in the mid-70s. Her name was Khadijah but her children called her Iya, meaning mother, and so we, their children, grew up calling her thus. Being a simple village woman, she was a farmer. When returning from the farm, she used to carry logs of wood, leaves for soup and giant grasshoppers, called bamba in the Bolewa language. Apart from the local seasoning, daddawa, grasshoppers too can spice up soups. Sometimes we roasted them. A real delicacy, especially those with eggs.

Enjoying the newly gained ability to walk without falling, I used to follow her to the farm on the outskirts of Fika, the land of the undulating plains. I became her storekeeper for the lighter things that motivate one to go to the farm. Nothing was lighter to me than bamba in those days. I never actually tilled the ground, for she won’t let me handle the hoe. But I ran after birds that swooped on the farm, plucking the juiciest bamba around. Or so I thought.

But the birds and the monkeys were also after the farm products. While I sought to protect what was a delicacy to me, Hajia Iya and her neighbouring farmers were therefore also concerned about the birds that reduced the destruction wreaked by grasshoppers on their farms. And the monkeys, too. So, they would erect a scarecrow – something that from a distance a monkey or a bird would take for a man about to pounce. That would scare them away and they would emit signals to their ilk that there awaited a wicked man ready to not only kill but devour them. What the villagers erected to chase off the pests is called a bogeyman.

We attribute to bogeyman qualities it does not possess so that its appearance induces fear and elicits hatred. Therefore, it is not the name that gives the bogeyman its attributes. Those attributes are inherent with whatever name we christen it with or in our minds. So, tired and in disagreement with the negritude tenets of the early and mid-century that turned the black man into a bogeyman, Wole Soyinka in 1964 at a conference in Berlin said, “A tiger does not proclaim his tigritude, he pounces.”

Sometimes a bogeyman is just the face of what the erectors want to be feared. For instance, when you erect a signpost in front of your house warning people to “Beware of snakes, dogs, electrocution, etc,” it is your house you want people to fear. The signpost, like the bogeyman, just gives a signal of what might happen when what they potentiate is breached. The signpost here as the bogeyman reflects on potential wickedness that makes the target hate the house or fear it. Or the farm.

The way people fear the tiger because of its tigritude qualities or animals hate the scarecrow in the farms, is the same fear and hate that, by deliberate design, some people want to transfer to the Fulani. Even though the Fulani have their fair share of criminals, it has now become fashionable to attribute every violent crime to them. The “Fulani” commits every crime, especially from Benue down South, as if the people there had never known crime. Though in most cases it turned out to be a bogey, the accusers show no remorse, nor do they apologise for their folly. But why should they? After all, they use the Fulani just as a bogeyman to get at the actual target.

The target is not President Muhammadu Buhari, as some are wont to adduce. No, not at all. The target is the North. Some think unless the North is vilified, hated, feared, even if on false reasons, they can never have power fall on their laps. The belief is that that was what happened in 1999. And so to them, that is only achievable through coarse blackmail, raw intimidation and the mobilisation of the gullible non-northerners against it. Northern minorities and Christians too can be carried on-board, they reason.

Little wonder charlatans have taken up this battle cry. From the now dead Gana in the valleys of the Benue to Sunday Igboho in the forests of Oduduwa down to the hills of the East where Nnamdi Kanu threatens constituted authority, the mobilisation is to hate the North through the Fulani bogeyman. Those who dictate when there will be peace have now filled in the vacuum vacated by a leadership that has abdicated its responsibility.

But that is a defeatist attitude and only shows up the emptiness of such politicians. Of-course boomerang it would. And when it boomerangs, they will realise that they have shot themselves in the foot. That’s how such things always end.

However, one politician who did not blackmail the North or fight it to gain power was the late Chief MKO Abiola. Agreed his election was annulled, sadly, but he won in the North, hands down. No man of substance would want to gain power through cheap routes. How can you savour victory when you got it through subterfuge? Can a student genuinely feel fulfilled passing an examination through malpractice, which is popularly termed “expo”?

The long-term problem associated with the student passing examinations through “expo” is national decline. A decline in the quality of services rendered. The decline in infrastructure and a decline in good governance. The massive decline in everything that we are now witnessing is a direct consequence of that. As mentioned earlier, I relate this to getting power through a cheap, ignoble route.

And the result is a dysfunctional nation; promising, yet unfulfilling. The nation gets saddled with leaders who have no sympathy and empathy for the citizenry; who disdain their people; A leadership more concerned with its welfare than that of the nation. Helmsmen who care little about the trajectory of their country’s development and how it is hurtling down the slopes head-long. Helmsmen who take from home to develop other lands.

With such people dotting our political landscape as governors and opinion leaders, one would not expect any leadership that would work to unite the people and make the country great. A governor should be the last person to speak in certain circumstances, and not the first. This is especially if the governor is running a one and a half kilometre race, dodging bullets in the bush. In that circumstance, a bogeyman could be a man with a bow and arrow about to shoot, just as a Jukun fisherman could be a Fulani herdsman, in his myopic eyes and rabble-rousing mischievous mind.

*Is Sadiya Another Punching Bag?*
A journalist friend met me a few days ago and was not happy that Sadiya Umar Farouq, minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development is being portrayed as a disaster despite all the good things she has been doing for the people of this country.

As mouthful as her portfolio sounds, that’s how she has reached out to the downtrodden in this nation, he tried to convince me. Without her ministry’s intervention in reaching to the youth through various schemes, perhaps the rate of youth restiveness might have been higher than it is now, this friend said.

Even though from afar she comes across as arrogant or snobbish, he believes it’s those who are not happy with her good works, as good as her good looks, that love to see bad in whatever she does.

Those who knew her in her youth think she has shut them out and become inaccessible, but he reasons that her work is enormous. What she handles can be likened to the heart of the country; if her work becomes a success, we would have a contented nation. He, therefore, reasons that the nature of what she handles would automatically shut out many people from her life. Not because she wants that.

My friend left me thinking hard. Is Sadiya just a punching bag, another man-made bogeyman to get at something, perhaps? The way Nigeria is moving now, anything seems possible. Sometimes only God in His Majesty knows.

Can't believe it's actually Hassan that wrote this piece.
