Can anyone familiar with Bama town in Borno State please shed some light on just what the purpose of that rectangular compound might be, to the north-east of the main township ?

It is an interesting looking layout, with what looks to be TWO perimeter fences or walls. If that compound is of military significance, and if the Boko Haram terror gang have in fact taken and held the whole town of Bama and its environs, then that well fenced rectangular compound might be a place the slave raider gang leadership might set up headquarters. Nigerian Air Force take note.

saxywale: not possible if they have just a single nationality. which country would accept them. Only people with dual nationality can be deported.

If they are arriving in the UK from Iraq or Syria where they went for a holy Jihad warfare vacation, they can be sent back there without a passport, to fight on PERMANENT vacation until they are killed in action, and thus qualified for their 72 virgins in Paradise.

omongbatim: Britain to strip terrorist Britons of passport

Trending on CNN.

Hehe. The Adeboloja British terrorist brothers will soon be sent back to Oduduwaland. They will then ply their trade in their father land.

This is a long overdue and very pragmatic solution to the home-grown terrorist threat facing Western nations. If any individual declares they hate the UK, even as their extended family enjoys free NHS health care, subsidized housing and free education, then such people need to be removed from UK society, stripped of UK citizenship and sent back to ANY of those backward, woman-hating cultures in the middle east where they can run around slitting throats for entertainment.

Rikidony: GUY DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE EVEN TYPING. DO YOU KNOW THE FIGURES YOU HAVE JUST POSTED THERE.

Abi you no get time to count all the zero when the man line up for you to count ? Maybe na how to spell "million dollars" dey worry am.

Blockus: Jets!!

Lol.. You want to fly jets and bomb who now?! How do you bomb targets you cant see?!

They would be better off purchasing Helicopter Gunships than Jets. The cost of flying regular sorties on a military jet is about 3 time the cost per sortie in a Gunship.

I would rather we purchase like 20 MH-6 Little Bird Helos to run sky patrol over the City and Jets like our MIGs to do intercept and precision bombing raids.

Twenty or more fully armed helicopters like the beauty in the above picture could be acquired for the price of one ground-attack jet, and these helicopters will be much cheaper to maintain, fuel and rearm after each combat sortie, in comparison to a jet. Most importantly too, helicopters do NOT need a runway to take off and land, as do fixed-wing aircraft. Any piece of level ground will do for forward deployment landing zones of helicopter gunships and medical evacuation choppers during war.

A few helicopters will inevitably succumb to ground fire, as is always the case when helos fly into war zones, but on the balance the above idea is absolutely brilliant, proving you are a man of great insight as well as Big Bawls, Blockus.

Eyop: Am glad you are voicing out and now more people are aware of this. Are you from Ondo State?

Let us just say that I am an HONORARY citizen of Greater Ondo, and a dedicated follower of the Lokiili tradition handed down for our betterment by our fore-fathers.

Eyop: I am from Akwa-Ibom(i don't eat dog) but forget all the stories you hear that people from my side are the ones that eat Dog the most. Some Ondo people too eat dog very well but it doesn't really concentrate on one particular side. That your former pic on your DP,the way you posed was like you just finished eating one that time

Yes, Eyo, you are correct in identifying the Ondo people as being very fond of dog meat, which is named "Lokilii" in that neck of the woods. It is very rare to see a roaming stray dog in any town where the flesh of such house-pets is regarded as a delicacy, and when dogs are spotted, they walk around in a constant state of high alert, glancing over their shoulders every few seconds, their ears straining to hear those feared words "Ebuwa" or "Lokiili" either of which means it is time to break into a run for dear life.

It is high time that lovers of dog meat from ALL geographical sectors of Nigeria form a unifying body to direct and synchronize their activities with respect to their shared dietary preference. If I may, I would like to suggest that the new organization devoted to eating dog meat should be called something along the lines of " The Lokiili-Ebuwa Dog Eater's Alliance."

The man at least died as a hero among lovers of dog meat, known in his neck of the woods as "Ebuwa" meat. Matter of fact it would not be surprising at all if the victim of this dhoggie dinner comes to be remembered with reverence and fondness, as a veritable patron saint of dog meat eaters in Calabar, Nigeria and beyond.

This die-hard lover of dog meat did not let his enthusiasm to score a free meal of his favorite dish be dampened by the high risk of poisoning with the same powerful insecticide used to kill the dog he elected eat as "punishment" for bad behavior.

Well, all told, it is indeed a dog-eat-dog world out there, though I am, well, dogged and hounded by the troubling thought that the consuming love for one's favorite dish can in fact be a far GREATER motivating force for some special people, than the very will to live, whereby hard-core connoisseurs of filet-dogghie would willingly consume dog stew made from a poisoned animal, as a means of demonstrating their single-minded dedication to a cause.

Now that, ladies and mentalmen, is an illustration of true loyalty and faithfulness to a Higher Calling, literally to one's last breath.

Long live the Late Eater of Dog, for he is now at the right hand of God, devouring yet more dog stew from a golden, diamond-studded chalice, up beyond the sky.

Much thanks JayBel, for bringing to light this very positive development in the urgent search for an Ebola virus cure. With the formerly experimental drug named ZMap having cured nearly a dozen humans including the now legendary American volunteer doctor and nurse flown back ill with Ebola fever to the US from Sierra Leone, a further official record attesting that every one of 18 Ebola-infected medical test monkeys has made miraculous recoveries from the deadly fever after being dosed with ZMap, is the long awaited icing on the cake.

With the healing power of the drug ZMap now documented beyond scientific doubt, the technical challenges that stand in the way of exponentially speeding up manufacturing processes for this precious chemical can now be focused upon with the intensity, international funding and unified resolve needed to arrest the global spread of this smoldering contagion ever so close to becoming a conflagration of biblical scale.

In short the human race CAN be spared from this impending mass-extinction threat called Ebola, even at this late stage of the game, IF the proven curative drug ZMap can be mass-produced no later than THREE months from the August 30th 2014 day on which these words are being typed. The consequences of failure to SWIFTLY embark on the mass-production of this species-preserving vaccine called ZMap, are, on sober reflection, too great and too terrifying to contemplate.

eaglechild: Thank you.

I do not understand his motive really.

I would speculate that the person spewing that calculated falsehood day and night harbors a deep loathing and palpable disgust for Africans, which in turn engenders a burning desire to guide as many of them as possible towards viral infection and gruesome death, simply to feed his personal gratification that evidently thrives on demonic entertainment.

eaglechild: Do you really believe what you wrote or are you just seeking attention?

You may not have any idea what you are doing( i hope, cause if you do you are simply evil)

Evil does exist in reality, and encouraging impressionable people to avoid treatment for a deadly virus is without question an act of deliberate evil, for it is an effort that seeks to MAXIMIZE the number of people killed if the virus continues to spread in Africa.

Offering bad and dangerous advice disguised as "help" is one of the more insidious and cunning means of leading unsuspecting people towards disaster, and that is precisely what that creature is all about with its constant droning repetition of absolute falsehood on the pages of this forum.

hardbody: Is that what should be or what is happening presently. Considering we had snippets of the Biafran war, it stands to reason that you may be right. Videos may be released when the war is won and lost. I wish them God speed.

Enemy casualty body-counts and bomb damage assessment data may be kept secret by the Nigerian military at least while hostile operations are ongoing, so all the details we yearn to learn will likely remain tantalizingly hidden from view for the time being. Suffice to say, it is GOOD news to hear that Nigerian Air Force jets are being scrambled to join the fray on a more regular basis than in the opening chapters of the war.

Rikidony: BRO I WOULD HAVE BELIEVE THIS POST OF YOURS IF AH GAT VIDEO OR PICTURE EVIDENCE.
OGA SEUN DO THE NEEDFUL

For the avoidance of confusion on your part, I am not necessarily seeking expressions of agreement with my comments regarding news reports detailing strikes on the enemy launched by the Nigerian Air Force. My comments here are personal opinions which you are at liberty to ignore or refute as the mood takes you.

One day, when the time is right, and the smoke of war has cleared, the Nigerian military will release cockpit gun-sight videos of the aerial bombardment currently being served up in the north eastern war-front. While it is indeed a much-needed morale-booster to read press releases confirming that the Bear in the Air has in fact been unleashed in anger against the invading terror militia, actual gun-sight video footage of this epic clash in the desert MUST be recorded both as a visual aid to enhance future combat pilot training, but also for posterity, so the world can bear vicarious witness to the precision damage the Nigerian Air Force can inflict once airborne for war.

While we armchair generals would have preferred to view the strafing and bomb-run videos in real time, as the live ordnance is administered on a bewildered enemy, we will have to be patient out of necessary respect for the operational secrecy essential while such air-to-ground sorties are under way, while only lodging humble appeal with the Nigerian military to ensure such video footage is recorded for the national historic archives.

GenBuhari: Sheep mentality is our problem in Nigeria

Do you know how propaganda and hoaxes are conducted?

You talk about medical experts and International Organisations. Don't you know propagandists hijack the news media and would not give access to anybody that wants to say the truth?

Nigeria is in its pitiful state today because of our sheep mentality, which has allowed a small bunch of corrupt politicians to hold the country back for 16 years by feeding us a constant stream of lies

Why does "sheep mentality" offend you so much ? Why is it so painful that your wild claims are not now heeded by anyone, and will never in the future be taken seriously ?

Do you have a job or a family to spend time with ? Why not do that and leave those you consider "sheep" to live in peace without having to be bombarded with your constant whining ?

You simply don't matter at all. Is that so difficult to fathom and accept ?

Only those who never learned to swim need fear flooded streets.

GenBuhari: I never ever said not to take your usual protection against contagious diseases. All I said is not to panic, Ebola is a hoax and I have listed countless reasons why I believe it is a hoax and nobody has been able to give any rebuttal to any of my points.

Yes most Nigerians are suffering from sheep mentality because they seem to be incapable of independent thought.

Ebola will not kill you but sheep mentality may kill you.

Sheep mentality may panic you into taking dangerous experimental vaccines US is planning to sell to our clueless African leaders.

Sheep mentality has already claimed 20 lives by panicking people into drinking salt water.

Ebola is a hoax. Nigeria better wake up.

Why not leave alone people who choose to ignore you ? Why run after them screaming your wild theories so long after the crowd has left your side-show ? I short, why this desperation to IMPOSE your fascinating but utterly false beliefs on the readership of this forum ?

If you feel that you are so much smarter than the combined medical expertise of the Nigerian government and numerous other international organizations, why not just publish your own "scientific findings " or unfounded speculation in a manner that makes your "revelations" open to PEER REVIEW by fellow scientists and epidemiologists ?

Once it has been established that you alone are right, and the entire scientific community is wrong about the existence of the Ebola virus, then you can bask in the global adulation that will follow your every declaration, and then you will be free to urge Africans to avoid treatment when they become afflicted with an illness you claim is fictional.

Once more, the question you need to answer is why you become so distressed and frenzied that your mutterings are being roundly ignored by this forum's readership, and why it is so vital to you that your unsolicited messiah's advice be followed by total strangers that you will likely never meet personally. Is it too much to ask for you to simply mind your own business and leave Africa alone to its own devices ?

charllyen: Wow @Papiwata. I 've never doubted the efficacy of this amazing oil and I must say i'm amazed by this one. I'll surely give it a try

Hello CarllYen. It is my pleasure to pass on knowledge I picked up from the net, tried on myself and thus confirmed to be absolutely true and accurate. Even if you personally have no pain issues on which to evaluate the efficacy of this skin balm, give some to any friend who could use some fast pain relief in the back or joints, and the feedback will be positive for sure. Don't forget to add the caution that this oil is not for internal consumption, and should be stored securely to prevent accidental ingestion.

As a footnote coconut oil is preferred for this application because it is absorbed faster into the skin than other oils, and, coconut oil is absorbed without leaving any of the slimy residue left by most other varieties of cooking oil applied topically for this purpose.

eaglechild: Please, I want to issue an alert on the moderators and the general users of nairaland .

Despite repeateded complaints, reports and pleas, the moniker GenBuhari has continued to spread wrong propagandist information on the Ebola virus outbreak.

He claims it is not real but only a hoax.
He keeps advising the general public to ignore the safety tips on Ebola prevention and go about their normal business.


He has clung unto this belief despite all evidence to the contrary.
Judging from the comments, some people are beginning to buy into this belief system.


I implore on the moderators to please bring this extremely dangerous trend to a stop.
I implore other members of nairaland not to believe or encourage this.
Remember what happened with HIV AIDS when people refused to believe?


Ebola is real, the victims are real.
Real people are lying ill from the disease.

The menace can be curbed if we collectively observe the stipulated safety measures.

The individual to whom you refer is either stark raving mad, or is a white supremacist who is desperate to goad as many Africans as he can into disregarding the Ebola threat, such that they are conditioned to reject the only effective cure so far produced, when it becomes widely available, all in a frantic bid to maximize the death toll from Ebola in Africa, by means of cold calculating lies repeated over and over again to the point of absurdity.

The mad declarations of that criminally insane person have become more agitated and desperate by the day, particularly since his incoherent ranting quickly came to be regarded by discerning readers of this forum as little more that a mildly amusing side-show highlighting the effects of insanity on the writings of the afflicted.

babyosisi: The man should go and sit down
How many times must he lose to get the message that his era has passed

Do not deny a masochist their innocent pleasures. Some enjoy being flogged with leather whips, while others hanker to remain the subject of newspaper headlines celebrating the worlds most prolific election loser.

GenBuhari: I said it before; you may be a victim of the only epidemic that is occurring in Nigeria - gullibility and sheep mentality; Which manifests itself by an inability to think independently of the masses and inability to question whatever CNN , BBC or your govt tells you.

Nigerian are unable to save themselves at this point . We need help

This may come as a bit of an unpleasant surprise, but nobody who reads your repetitive drivel cares in the slightest what you have to say, and the few who have bothered to comment on your one-man misinformation campaign have expressed the view that you are suffering from some form of autism or dementia, and would best be ignored to vent and babble to your heart's content.

Clearly you have become progressively more hysterical as it becomes evident that your views are of no importance to anyone besides yourself, but I still encourage you to spew that hot air until you are blue in the face, for all the good it will do to further your universally ignored agitation.

GenBuhari: ^ As I said you see nothing odd about it.

I doubt even the pope can convince you that Ebola is a hoax

The Pope is well informed and firmly in touch with reality, unlike you who happens to be the ONLY person in the Nairaland forum clinging to this strange opinion and even stranger obsessive determination to force this false and bizarre view on others who have repeatedly told you what you can do with this message, i.e to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

GenBuhari: I have made so many unanswerable points that exposes the hoax. The fact that so many doctors and nurses have allegedly died in West Africa and yet none and I mean none of the names can be found on facebook should strike any thinking person as odd.

Does it not strike you as odd?

Again I agree with you that a program of mass extermination must be targeted at ALL internet users who REFUSE to sign up with Twatter or Farcebook. This terrible crime of FAILURE to disclose and expose one's identity on those two websites must be declared an offence punishable by death, without the benefit of a trial fair or otherwise.

Personally, I think there ought to be a roundup and summary execution of all extended family members traced to any internet user found to be deliberately avoiding their OBLIGATION to join those websites that are of such tremendous importance to movers and shakers like you.

GenBuhari: Fake ID doctor, no presence on the internet , facebook or twitter

Ebola is a hoax!!

Oh yes, reality is defined by Farcebook and Twatter. Anyone not registered with those disclose-all websites does not exist, and if they do exist against regulations, they should be captured and killed for failure to participate in mandatory online Twatter disclosures of personal details.

Ebola is a hoax, Elvis Presley never died, man never landed on the moon because it is made of Swiss cheese, and indeed life itself is an illusion whose very existence is open to dispute by the the chosen few nihilists like you who have mastered the art of creating your own personal definition of fact and fiction.

chiefinalowo: Buhari declared and contested in 2003 ...... he failed
Buhari declared and contested in 2007 ...... he failed
Buhari declared and contested in 2011 ...... he failed
Buhari will declare again in 2014.......Hmmm you all know what will happen.

So, what you are saying is that it doesn't take a political scientist or a statistician to accurately predict another failure based on the above record of uninterrupted failures ?

gbenga4sure: 8.)BRITAIN PRESIDENT VILLA

What ? There is no such thing as a "president" in the United Kingdom, and the Prime Minister resides at Number 10 Downing Street in London.

Perhaps you intended to post a picture of Buckingham Palace, where Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth resides.

Coconut oil has one of the most delicious aromas of any oil. One whiff of coconut oil takes you back to the tastiest Indian and Thai meals you ever had, and you just feel like eating coconut oil by the spoonful.

CharylYen thanks for this fantastic collection of useful data on the health benefits of coconut oil. I had no idea there were so many nutritional and health benefits to including this special oil in one's regular diet.

Coconut oil also happens to be a favorite oil base in which to dissolve medical marijuana for topical (skin surface application) treatment of pain patients living in the US states where the raw material for this cure is legal to grow and consume. In order to distill one of the most powerful externally applied pain relief medications available anywhere, and possibly the only balm that works in seconds to chase pain away, marijuana buds are baked in the gas oven until they give off that sweet aroma. When the weed has been "activated" by that oven heating, it can then be added to a mixture of coconut oil and water, which is then heated on LOW heat, WITHOUT boiling, for several hours, during which time the active ingredient of the weed is absorbed entirely buy the oil.

After several hours, the oil/water mixture is removed from the heat, and the vegetative matter is extracted by straining the mixture through a cloth into a bowl. The weed is now spent and can be thrown away. The resultant liquid consists of the oil floating on the surface of the water layer. Placing that two-layer liquid combination in the fridge for some hours will solidify the coconut oil, allowing ALL the water to be siphoned out and also thrown away, leaving a greenish oil layer.

A second "wash" of that oil can be accomplished by adding more boiling water to the oil, allowing the two layers of liquid to cool again, before pouring away the water, which will be much cleaner than the first batch of water thrown out. At this point, the coconut oil will smell ONLY of coconut oil, despite having been converted by the above process into one of the strongest pain relief balms known to man.

Store your medicinal coconut oil as a solid in the fridge or freezer and it will remain fresh and highly effective as a pain-killing skin balm for years. To stop back pain in its tracks, melt a small amount of that activated oil in your hand, rub it on the area that is sore, and then count the seconds until that pain simply vanishes. Readers who try this remedy and benefit from it are encouraged to report back to this thread, in order to benefit others who may be skeptical about the efficacy of this home remedy.

Warning : Do NOT consume coconut oil that has been infused with marijuana, as it will knock you clean out, and put you to sleep for hours. Accordingly, this balm must be stored securely so that it is not eaten by children or adults who may find the smell of coconut oil attractive.
