Communities will be attack by Armed Fulani heardsmen, hundreds of people in this communities will lose their life, this lucky thing in Aso Rock will never say anything about it. But you're busy here releasing statement because of Sunday and Kanu

I just hope Sunday Igboho won't cancel the Saturday protest.

Unvirified report reaching me is that the men if the Nigerian Army arrested the cat of one Sunday igboho in hope that said cat will transform into the suspect once placed in custody.

I really felt we will send men to the moon this century, but the signs I am seeing are not good.

Paramount continues to do good work in Singapore with the Marauder. Their version, the Belrex, has a new 120mm mortar carrier with a weapon locating radar for accurate counter-battery fire.

DubaiLandLord:
I can't believe 5 people were truly killed at Sunday Igboho house by the DSS and soldiers

I was thinking is a fake news o

What was ther crime

These questions are typically Nigerian. So lame, empty and based on lies. Corruption is so ingrained in us that truth is far. Or maybe on the other hand the standard of education is so poor, that critical thinking skills are lacking.

Lets assume that it is true that four people were killed, what could have transpired that only four people were killed and some including one of his wives was merely arrested?


Pls read the way you asked the typically stupid Nigerian question; "what is their crime?"
Do we kill people in Nigeria fir committing crimes?
I think you should explain your meaningless question.
Also why would a visit to someone's house result in four 4 casualties and some arrested relatives of the guy who have now being released.

Use your brains, think hard about what must have happened and post a better version of what is closer to the truth.

PAKISTAN TO STRENGTHEN TECHNICAL, DEFENCE COOPERATION WITH NIGERIAN AIR FORCE

The Pakistani Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCOSC), General Nadeem Raza has expressed the willingness of the Pakistani Government to deepen its technical and defence cooperation with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in view of current and emerging security challenges. The Chairman made this known while on a courtesy visit to the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao in his office at Headquarters NAF, Abuja.

General Raza who was on a one-day official visit to Nigeria noted that Nigeria deserves a robust, versatile and tactical air force in view of her leadership role in Africa to be able to curtail various internal security challenges confronting her. He assured that the technical cooperation between the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and the NAF, especially in areas of platform acquisition, training of pilots, engineers and technicians as well as provision of counter-terrorism training would be boosted to further strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

Speaking further, the Pakistani CJCOS stated that several years of cooperation between the PAF and NAF had translated into a strong alliance that is helping both countries to respond proactively to their common security challenges of asymmetric warfare and other similar threats. General Raza disclosed that his visit and interaction with the NAF leadership was in line with the common interest of Pakistan and Nigeria aimed at strengthening the relationship between both countries.

In his remarks, the CAS described the long-standing and mutually beneficial bilateral relationship between Pakistan and Nigeria as heart-warming and better exemplified by the symbiotic partnership between the NAF and PAF. According to him, the relationship had yielded many tangible results over the years as manifested through successes recorded against various national security threats.

While highlighting mutual benefits of the long-standing relationship, Air Marshal Amao disclosed that the acquisition of the 10 Super Mushshak trainer aircraft, along with the training of NAF instructor pilots and ground crew has helped in boosting the operational capacities of the NAF. The CAS also acknowledged Pakistan's efforts in the areas of technical and operational support for the maintenance of NAF F-7Ni fleet and the local conduct of Periodic Depot Maintenance for the NAF C-130 Hercules aircraft. He noted that the recent acquisition of 3 JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighter aircraft which were inducted into the NAF on 20 May 2021 was another huge benefit from the relationship. He assured that the NAF, under his watch would continue to strengthen the collaboration to enhance the effective delivery of airpower towards tackling the security challenges in the country.

The Chairman was accompanied on the visit by the JF-17 Deputy Chief Project Director, Air Vice Marshal Zaeem Afzal, the Principal Staff Officer to the Chairman, Brigadier Wasim Arif Raja, Pakistan Defence Adviser in Nigeria, Colonel Iftikhar Khattak and Nigerian Defence Adviser in Islamabad, Colonel Oseni Braimah.

You are a liar and a dunce. You think emotions and sentiments count for anything.

We don't have all the facts but from Igboho's own account, they went to arrest him and he / his guys resisted. There were gun shots. Maybe four people died. This is from Igbohos own mouth. So why play up the victim card and ask dumb Nigerian questions; "what is their crime?". Do we kill criminals in Nigeria.
If the four who died resisted violently the arrest of their champion then we must either praise their memories or condemn their stupidity. Don't give us what is their crime? They died as heroes or as idiots depending on your standpoint. I think they were idiots.
