Unfortunately Akwa Ibom state laws recognize christianity has the only religion in the state. Akpabio who now sings Buhari's praise closed down the last mosques during his time as governor of the state.

After reading the book "23 Years", by Prof Dashti, about the life and times of Prophet Muhammed, I just wonder why any sane and intelligent person would choose to be a Muslim.

So APC has made itself the mouthpiece of both the US State Department and Atiku Campaign Organization. Failed party and failed Buhari administration with nothing to campaign on except being obsessed with whether Atiku can visit the US or not. Fools.

oyin44:
Fake news..impossible

Why is it impossible for Atiku, a multi millionaire, to get visa to the US? I hope you don't go and hug a live transformer if it is not fake news.

IjebuWarrior:
This is arrant NONSENSE coming from the goddamn consulate. He's a public citizen vying for a public position to serve rule the foolish people of Nigeria. Of course, they realize Nigerians are gullible and would listen to anything that comes from their stinky mouths... after all, they're AMERICANS

We deserve to know the status of everything! He chose to become a public citizen NOT, our choice.

Could you please tell Nigerians the health status of your lifeless President? The good people of America have advised you to focus on important issues. Being able to get visa to USA is not one of the requirements for being President of Nigeria.

jericco1:
totally unbecoming of an elder statesman

Elder statesman? Or a thug?

Big shame. And this thug is the Chairman of the Governors Forum. I guess the loud mouthed thug Oshiomhole has met his match in thuggery.

Engineers that cannot change a car tire, is that one an engineer?

It's not the job of engineers to change a car tire, even in the USA or Europe. It's not even their job to repair cars. They don't teach anyone how to repair things in any university in the world. Those are taught in technical schools or vocational schools. There is generally, a misconception in Nigeria about what the role of engineers are.

If Buhari wins, just make sure you stay in Nigeria. Don't vote the devil Buhari and sneak out to US or Europe.

Sad moment. May God give you and your children the strength and guidance to carry on with life.
Well meaning Nigerians should ensure that the devil called Buhari is voted out in 2019 so that we can start the process of uniting Nigerians and rebuilding Nigeria. If Buhari wins, Nigeria is finished.

Cantonese:
You probably did not read the story of what transpired. The wife of the man left home to make some purchases. The young man seeing his opportunity enterred into the man's bedroom which was against the rules of his engagement. The man asked him what he came there to do but the boy killed him. However before he died he phoned his wife to alert her of the attack. Before she got home the househelp had escaped.

Our prayer is for God to keep away evil people who mask themselves as househelps whereas they are witches, wizards, robbers and killers.

The initial report was that the wife called the husband before heading home.

HEFAIROHLUWA:
I dont think its a murder he killed himself..Obeserve his bent elbows..If he was killed and planted there I dont think his hands will be positioned that way and it will be probably done at night.You dont need a stool to commit suicide and he does not need to jump over with full force making the cloth snap thereby ruining his objective..They said he was jovial...Well there are so many ways people hide from depression and frustration by living in denial I am really aware of people living with such state of mind
I belived he killed himself..
Update...Just went over the full post here...https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/11/28/panic-as-civil-servant-commits-suicide-in-ekiti/%3famp
His wife confirmed he was suicidal..So he wasnt killed he killed himself..

It was done at night. The story said he reported for duty at 6pm.

AntiMahdi:
This is staged.

Somebody killed him and made it look like a suicide.

Why?

Unless he jumped from across the balcony with that flimsy cloth tied down his neck which would have snapped by sheer weight of his body or he used a chair or stool to hang himself.

There is no stool or chair near him.

I'm suspicious of the whole thing too. Unfortunately, we don't have a functional Police that can do forensic investigation to unravel what really happened.

madridguy:
Femi Adesina is right.

You don't have shame or integrity.

That is real gallantry. Thank God for saving your life. You deserve a special promotion.

rockyh:
A very valid reason for divorce personally I broke a relationship because of same lies.i detest lies

After 16 years? Give me a break.

krissy123:
The man is useless. Looking for flimsy excuses to get a divorce. After 16 good years na now im know sey the woman senior am.

Exactly. The man should tell us his real reason for seeking divorce.

I suspect Dave Umahi of Ebonyi.

FarahAideed:
So they had a one hour heads up and yet instead of planning an ambush they waited for the attacking party to arrive

An ambush in the desert, probably with little or no cover.

farano:
Smh..Everybody shouting it's too early for her to ask for money.. There's no right time to ask for money or sex in a relationship. I once dated a guy, I started dating him in the afternoon and that same evening, I asked for some money and he gave me. He was even happy I asked him for something..

When it comes to relationships, people have there individual taste. I meet you in the afternoon, and in the evening, you are asking me for money? I would have written you off immediately. If the money is not much, I might still give you but that will be the end of the relationship.

SyberKate:
Hi

So I decided to go into a long distance relationship with this guy I have not met yet. We just met online and have exchanged pictures.

So far the relationship is just one week old and I was in a bit of a situation where I needed some money. Nothing much just about 15,000 to solve an issue.

So I asked my BF if he could assist me with the money, only for him to start saying things like the relationship is still young for me to be making demands, that what if he starts demanding for s3xx this early in the relationship.

I said I wish I could have solved my problem myself but I really need all the help I can get. He still insisted that he hasn't even met me physically and I could be trying to swindle him for all he knows.

Then I said if he feels that way then no need to continue with the relationship and it was over, just like that within one week.

So do you think I was being unreasonable to make demands this early in the relationship.

Of course you know you were being unreasonable. You expect a normal person to send you 15,000 Naira without even meeting you, and after chatting online for one week. You were obviously trying to scam the guy.

[quote author=docadams post=73305309]Loosing lives in the battle field calls for sober reflection on the part of compatriots. The habit of dancing on the graves of our fallen heroes for political gains should stop.

The STTEP Chairman claims the service of his company was discontinued by PMB regime probably on inception. So one would wish to know the channel through which they tried to pass the said Intel. Most importantly, how where they able to gather such intel when their contract had already been terminated. Where they contracted by another party in the same theater of conflict?

According to quora on whether mercenaries are bad people? -
"You've had a drink with them as well. Never trust a mercenary. Good people or bad people are irrelevant. Mercenaries are in business."

The intelligence they passed on to your bigoted Buhari, I believe, was gathered while they were still employed by the GEJ administration. Of course, mercenaries are in business, and a very risky one at that. They expect to be paid for their effort. The main issue is whether they delivered. And these guys actually delivered. They decimated Boko Haram in the run up to the 2015 elections.
Money paid to them would have been money well spent. Now Nigeria is still spending big and yet no positive results because the money is being diverted by the Generals and the high ups in the Buhari administration.

theoldpretender:
The thing is, this is not a war like the Nigerian Civil war...where there were formal fronts,and well defined battle lines.

I should point out that the Nigerian Army has done well against Boko....in 2014,Boko boys were virtually in control of Borno,Yobe, some parts of Adamawa,and even extending into Bauchi....but now...they are confined to the north east of Borno.

Boko,however,is not your typical Army....they are fighting asymetirc warfare.And the best way to fight asymetric warfare is by fighting back the same way.

In the 1970'S the racist government of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)was losing the war against the Liberation forces of ZANU and ZAPU. Their response was to form an asymetric warfare unit known as the Selous Scouts.

Some special characteristics of the Scouts.

1.They were an integrated group. (Whites and blacks could join.There were also black officers commanding white soldiers.)
2.A key part of their training involved infiltration.
3.Also, they took in former freedom fighters and turned them to the side of the government.


The result...the Scouts had a higher success rate than many other units of the Rhodesian armedforces....including the all white Rhodesian Light Infantry.

Now, we have our own special forces....I wonder if they can infintrate Boko...and cause confusion.


One more thing...I suspect the attack on Malete was conducted by hundreds of Boko boys...who concentrated their efforts on that tiny outpost. That is how people like Boko operate...and indeed have operated...attack a small millitary outpost....kill lots ofpeople...and cart away weapons.Job done...especially in the area of psychological terror.

(Same way they operated under PDP is the same way they are operating under APC....which to meproves that Boko was never in anyone'spocket.....We are all in this toghether....Southerners or Northerners.).

Infact, Boko's key aim is to sow discord. See...it works. Rumors are now spreading about 'obsolete equipment, poorly trained soldiers,poorly motivated soldiers,and Christian cannon fodder (my personal favourite)>

As Sun TZU said...Kill one and frighten 10000. (Kill 77....)


At this point....I would like to say that we Nigerians shouldput aside politics and religion and fight this Boko menance with all we got. Whether we get a new government in 2019 or not...to fight and destroy Boko is a task that must be done.

And we must also fight the Boko in our communites. In many Nigerian communites...there are large numbers of unemployed and underused youths. These guys are potential Boko Haram . And they are not all Muslims or Christians....they are the result of systemic neglect by government at alllevels of the youth of this country. It is high time we mounted a crusade against youth unemployment and underdevelopment in tis countiry...before we have our version of Boko Haram in our neighbourhoods.....

Problem is, with a tribalist like Buhari as President, it is futile asking Nigerians to unite. Look at his appointments into the leadership of the security services. Don't you have a problem with that? The security architecture of Nigeria right now is under the control of the Fulani and Kanuri. Buhari is Fulani with a Kanuri mother. Meanwhile, the Fulani are only less than 7% of Nigeria's population. I have a big problem with such a scenario. Well meaning Nigerians should ensure to vote against Buhari in 2019. We need a President that can unite Nigerians.

Venerable612:
Followed this news keenly.

The BH attack was successful because they disguised in army apparels and caught the NA unawares. SuggesTs;

1. There are moles/informants supplying the B information and wears in the NA.

2. The desert is too wide and very difficult to defend.

It’s obvious they need to fortify their base with defence walls and high watch post like we see in movies. All in coming vehicles must confirm identity from a 1km radius or it’s shot down with a missile.

Secondly, we need help from foreign troops. These Boko guys are getting help from ISIS and soon they may start thinking of coming into the south/west/east. If foreign troops can join the NA they can cover more grounds technically and man power wise - that desert is so huge.

We just need to tackle this shit headon before it escalates. We must start by voting out Buhari, he is clueless already!!




But your assertions are logically flawed.

1. You can’t KNOW that there are no moles; unless you work in the NA and you have done internal intelligence to confirm your hypothesis. In principle - Yoruba says “bi Ogun ile o ba Jani, tita o le jani”. It makes it more likely that some people are sabotaging the war by assisting BH.

2. I don’t know much about the span of Iraq desert’s... but I am glad you mentioned alqaeda war. Those guys were chased out following helpss from foreign troops; American and UN soldiers specifically. He Sambisa forest spans about 4 different territories with lots of trees and caves. It’s so vast... we obviously need so foreign help and intelligence. Our machineries and personnel are obsolete!

To the contrary, the Army were not taken unawares. We heard that the Boko terrorists actually wrote the Army to inform them they were coming and the date. They were just outgunned.

sarrki:
There is more to this Boko-Haram carnage


Both Apc and Pdp Leaders Know fully well about it

It’s a pity that the suffering masses that doesn’t enjoy anything from the government are those feeling the heat

This one you are blaming both APC and PDP, it seems you are tired of your role as a zombie and BMC.

Jackossky:
Badmouth everywhere
As if Nigeria is a home of herbalists and backwardness.
she even said travelling to another country is a huge risk.
Where is the spirit of exploration?

So Nigeria is not "a home of herbalists and backwardness"? That's news to me.

Ikebesupa:
Buharis age mate... Hahahahaha

Really? And you believe Buhari's claim of being 74? Buhari is much older than that.

Gratefulheart01:
I wont be a pervert when i grow old. It's all these useless grandfathers spoiling our girls, enticing them with money. Useless politicians, people who are not supposed to have money in life.

With the average life expectancy of Nigerian men being below 50, I hope you will be lucky enough to reach the man's age before you go meet your maker.

MJBOLT:

the same trick MMM used to scam 3 million nigerians

Don't mind him. Most Nigerians think they are smart. Yet the opposite is true. That is why we keep getting the type of government we have had since independence, which cannot provide electricity, pipe borne water or security for it's people.

So people are still falling for this inheritance bullshit.

Mankosi:
Who's she?

Victoria Kimani, that's who.

MrChad:
where does she come from!

Nigeria, of course.
