Why is all this revelation coming out now.
If we also probe the sudden and untimely death of General Lagbaja, it may be possible that General Lagbaja was poisoned.

Buhari regime was a night mare.

Quelle not surprised.

Now you understand why Buhari refused to attend the man's burial despite it having taken place in the same Abuja.

Make the two of them "diggeram out" in the great beyond.

Buhari was the devil personified IMO.

I am not surprised that they are all Northerners. Like South East like the North profiting from insecurity

Sir pls wr need more details of that superior officer and the gidsn commader?

Sir, we will drag you seriously till you tell us the names that are involve because we can no longer keep quiet over insecurity again.

Sir we ned more details ASAP and pls if possible avoid travelling or collecting parcel from strangers for now because that same superior might want to act funny and pls avoid travelling for now allow us to do the rest.

Nothing will stop us from jailing Buratal in this country I'm not saying he is the one but the entire descriptions and his attitude since he was appointed then pointed at him.

Butaratai was Nigeria ambassador to Benin republic, and I believe he may have hand in the failed coup that happened in Nigeria and Benin republic….His days are numbered.

After reading this enormous atrocious and weighty evil perpetrated under a Fulani militia Government, if you like, still advocate for another Fulani militia Government to displace a more moderate Southern presidency, because you hate Tinubu and his Yoruba tribe. (Na ur eyes go still pill).
The best President Donald Trump can do for Southern Nigeria 🇳🇬 Christians is to help divide this country. Nigeria may never get better. Just imagine, they've been fighting Bokoharam since 2010, even the Nigerian/Biafra civil war didn't last this long. I also pity and pour spit on any boy from the South that will be enlisted into the Nigerian Military 🪖. Instead, they should go and join agbero, it will be better for them.
If Tinubu was from south east or south south, would you have accepted to work for him to stay on?

Hypocrisy is asking others to do what you will never ever wanted to do.....


Yorubas brought this evil on on Nigeria, no matter how you twist it but I thank God for Karna.

Karma will play on Tinubu and his supporters at the appropriate time , it's not a joke.

I hope this man is not in Nigeria at the moment. I mentioned this last week. The day president Tinubu decides to order a comprehensive audit of Nigerian armed forces finances as regards the war against terror, 2 things will happen.

1. Nationwide bombings, kidnappings and outright massacre of communities
2. The bloodiest coup in the history of this country will happen.

If we want to know why the war against Boko Haram has lasted this long, a quick look at the defence budget and associated expenditure will tell us. Follow the money.

But that will never happen.
The problem is that down south here, we refuse to join the military. When one region occupies 80% of all strategies Location in the NA and 50% are sympathetic to jihadist course, there is bound to be compromise in the military.

Let's take the sultan of sokoto and gumi for instance.these guys we're once in the military and surely they will refer many sympathizers to join the military and many will be enlisted.

At the time of his death, the COAS had reportedly ordered a forensic audit of funds and equipment in the Army and was expected to act on the findings on May 24, 2021, three days after the fatal incident.

The Money Trail never lies. If we want to get to the root on the fight against terrorism and the financiers who have become apparitions the NG Govt refused to name/identify... Just follow the money trail.

Well, subsequent events have proved him a curse.
But for Zik there'd have been no civil war. Eastern region will be a separate country right now. Combine their massive oil and brains and enterprising spirit, it'd be one of the richest countries in the world. Instead this is what we have after a civil war that killed 3 million. ALL because of Zik! I'm really pissed off when I think of it. I mean, THE NORTH DID NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF NIGERIA!!
I know his heart was in good place but IMO he should never be celebrated.

While the army is incompetent and all.......the simple reason is the man died in a plane crash, not explosion on plane.

We beleive in such a theory, the same way people believe that JFK was killed by a conspiracy, instead of the simple explanation that he was killed by one man, because if a whole COAS can die in plane crash, with all the security and service, what does that mean for ordinary people like us.? Best to believe 'they did it'

You can believe that 'they did it because Shekau' (the story about shekau in maiduguri...it is also very possible that Shekau moved out on his own without hearing from anyone in the army self...we tend to think that boko is made up of dull people)...or you can assume it was simply a plane crash.

At the same time you can believe, as I do, that the army is not handling the fight against boko well, because they are not. This fight requires specialists in assymetric warfare, not conventional warfare. Armies have always struggled when the enemy is fighting assymetrically. (It took the british over 15 years to subdue the Edo people after 1897. And the edo people used extensive assymetric warfare. Go and verify).

DomPerignon:
It wasn't an assassination but an air accident due to very bad weather, an inexperienced and young crew who had to divert to the civilian air strip in Kaduna from their intended NAF air field.

On getting to Kaduna, bad weather forced the crew to attempt a landing in the neighbouring Kaduna civilian airport.

The ATC in Kaduna had closed as the airport was operating only daylight due to terrorist attack that occurred a few months prior.

There was no ATC clearance as ATC had shut down by 6pm and there was no communication with the crew and ATC to ascertain the wind field on landing.

The crew landed in a cross wind field which flipped one of the wings of the aircraft and had it flip and crash on the tarmac.

The aircraft had departed Abuja with a full tank of fuel and was meant to convey the COAS to Kano the next morning for an occasion there and return him back to Abuja.

The cause of that crash were bad weather and an inexperienced crew.

The COAS was shelduled to have taken off to Kaduna earlier on that same day but due to his tight schedule ,the flight was postponed later in the evening.

Its not known if the crew were briefed adequately on the rapidly detiorating weather at their destination or if they (young officers in their early 30s) were afraid to tell the COAS of the need to delay or cancel the flight.

There were no traces of any explosive material on the wreckage.

Only mumu persons and people who cannot reason for themselves will believe there was any Jubril from Sudan.

Ok. But why are you dismissing the General's position out of hand? Is it not also possible that he's correct and AHQ was being run by a crook? That Shekau was tipped off?

You don't look at just one event, you look at patterns. How many head-of-state plane crashes have we had in Nigeria? How easy is it for a well-maintained military plane that carries high-level officers to crash? You'd realise that chances of such a plane crashing is almost zero. Combine that fact with other factors and you have your almost certain answer

Because the man is here making assumptions without any proof or offering any proof.

And when we ask them to give us proof, that's when we hear stories about how 'they won't allow us to bring proof' or 'they won't allow us to do proper investigation'

I don learn my lesson for many consipracy theories. Sometimes the simplest answer is the right answer.

LIke the time people were shouting Garang died in helicopter crash. One thing about helicopters, they are delicate things. Any small dust can foul up the mechanism.


PLus if we assume the man died in explosion, why not then assume that every plane crash in Nigeria was caused by conspiracy?
