I don't know why some people like to propagate falsehood about their nation.
It is always good to keep mute on matters you don't have credible information about.

The Guardian reported this release of both crew and aircraft since yesterday.
The plane was said to have developed technical issues enroute Portugal and decided to have an emergency landing at the nearest airport in accordance with international aviation protocol, which was Burkina Faso.

So, what is the fuss about the propagation of falsehood about your own nation?

Haters who wishes to be unfortunate this Yuletide season should quote me at their own peril.

Burkina Faso releases 11 Nigerian troops after ‘unauthorised’ plane landing https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/10/burkina-faso-releases-nigerian-troops-unauthorised-emergency-landing?CMP=share_btn_url
The Guardian reported the release of the aircraft and crew since yesterday and today, the Vanguard reported that the crew and plane are still being held captive.
You have the right to believe in Guardian news paper and others too have the right to believe in Vanguard news paper.
Both of them are seen to be reputable Nigeria National Dailies.
Or are you saying that Guardian is now more credible than Vanguard?

My take:


Who sent the plane to Burkina Faso.
A C130 is a Transport plane. What was the essence of the trip.? What equipment was it carrying?
Portugal has refuted the lie of the Army claiming they were coming for a visit.


The fact that the Army came and told lies means explicitly that the SECURITY apparatus of the country is totally compromised.

Burkina Faso is a member of West African Nations that are against ECOWAS and have already threatened to bring down any rescue JET that is foreign to their airspace.

Will they now use propaganda to cover this obvious void in the chain of command in the armed forces?

Burkina Faso is totally ready for anything.

Now it's obvious that FRANCE has the ballz of TINUBU in their hands.

Anything France says, TINUBU does.

Awon Sophisticated strategist....come and talk.

Nonsense.
I have been saying this since. Any smart person should know this. Before the final court judgement of the last election, Tinubu visited France a lot of times. No body knows what he was doing there. France got his balls.

Tinubu’s decision to involve Nigeria in the Benin Republic conflict was a serious miscalculation.

Many African countries have been waiting for even the slightest opportunity to challenge or demystify Nigeria’s position as the so-called “Giant of Africa.” At a time when our internal security architecture is already overstretched, sending troops across the border was unnecessary and ill-timed.

What Tinubu should have focused on was strengthening our military from within, especially by decisively dismantling the Islamic terrorist networks that have for years made our armed forces appear weakened and overwhelmed. That internal threat alone has done more damage to Nigeria’s military credibility than any external force.

People will be shocked to know the kind of sophisticated weapons some smaller African nations have acquired. Many of them are quietly backed by major global powers and are more prepared for confrontation than we assume. In a direct face-off, several of these countries can match Nigeria pound for pound, something our leadership seems to ignore.

This entire episode should serve as an eye-opener.

Instead of dragging Nigeria into avoidable regional conflicts, our leaders should be rebuilding and modernizing our military defenses, not creating opportunities for political actors to siphon funds or strategize on election rigging.

Truth is, we have never had it this bad in Nigeria.
Na France asked him to send the troops o and he must obey

If Northerners didn't revolt he was actually ready to start a fight against NIGER REPUBLIC and his numerous dundieee internet RONU-bandits were busy urging him on.

Now he left NIGER REPUBLIC and is replicating same actions against a very rugged and battle tested Burkina Faso Regime that is LOVED by their people, because FRANCE told him to do the same Nonsense again.

Tinubu is a grade A puppet and that is why he is a disgrace to the diplomatic community.

He is busy acting tough in NIGERIA whereas a MACRON that actively supports dictators that do his bidding in Africa is his best friend.

Shame on sophisticated region and all their noise of being exposed. That is how Obasanjo threw away Bakassi to Cameroon just to have acceptance internationally.

The fact that this REGION is a disgrace when in Governance shows how pathetic they are.

Make una dey see them.

Nonsense
You guys will believe anything so far it's against the government. This thread is ladden with misinformation, disinformation and propaganda. It's anything to make you happy. Victims of psychological trauma everywhere!!

Th plane made emergency landing because of "technical concerns". Who addressed these concerns and cleared the plane to continue its journey? ... and what was the cargo?... going to Portugal? ... accompanied by so many military personnel? I'm almost sure we'll hear the truth from BF after the interrogation

You are just writing nonsense. I will not take you on the nonsense you wrote because whenever you are captured by a big problem or by a powerful enemy , while in Captivity, you are a slave to the weakest enemy. You become a subject of ridicule and mockery to the weakest enemy. Samson in the Bible suffered the same fate . The big problem and powerful enemy here is Nigeria. Nigeria comprises of many nations. Nigeria is a country at war within itself. Nigeria is fighting psychological war with itself. Within Nigeria we have Sahel Nation that is indirectly a member of the Sahel Nations and that is why establishment of US Military Base is being opposed. I will stop here.

Later naptu2 came out to give us the Air Force Public announcement. Later, they said they have been released. In my response on the link above I asked some questions and avoided many things.

But the same Nigeria is sitting down watching bandits, terrorists kill its own citizens in thousands, run over military bases, kill security officers, capture and kill a general, taking territories and collecting taxes on behalf of government as a government of its own, who is the joker here, you or Tinubu or both of you?

Are you saying the democracy in Benin republic is more important than the lives of Nigerians?


After lying that they have released the soldiers and aircraft, look at the shame they are bringing upon Nigeria...
You even have time to replied him
Maybe he is one of the paid people to defend the evil ones.
I hope they are paying him well.
Anyways, the terrorists haven't reached him, maybe by then, he will stopped defending evil.
Well, I will always say this, the major problem we have in this country is that " once someone is benefiting in this country, he/she doesn't care about others again "

sweerychick:
Tinubu just started what he can't finish

Someone here said that Tinubu quickly deploying troops to Benin republic was a dumb move, I see Russia and France fighting a proxy war in west Africa
So we should wait until Russia comes and take over Nigeria. You don't understand the implication of what you are saying. Once Russia takes over Benin (it's for their resources), the moments they put eyes on Nigeria's bitumen, lithium, gold, other fossil ground resources, the insecurity you have now will be child's play compared to what you will see.

My own is that they should apply the same energy to deal with the Enemies within. Though I know that is more challenging and expensive because the terrorists are cowards and prefer gorilla warfare.

Seeking debts forgiveness in place of protection of territorial integrity of a sovereign state of Nigeria?
What do you called that?
Till today,did that government that value debts forgiveness more than it's citizens considered where the indigenous people of Bakassi scattered to and how they survive?
Like someone asked,if Bakassi was to be a L.G.A in Ogun state or Lagos state, will OBJ government had done what it did?
Like I pointed out, they won us in the court. OBJ really had no choice considering also his pursuit. Mind you, part of cameroun was ceded to us.

If you win in a court case, I hope people will not say the loser was foolish.

Nonsense
The problem with IPOB is that most of them, like you, lack "diplomatic way of speaking/thinking", everything is Talk-Before-Thinking.!

See the way you insulted the whole Yoruba race, (ofcourse you avoided mentioning them directly but it is obvious), because of the actions of One man from among them? Does Tinubu's action/thoughts or behavior represent that of all Yorubas? I dont think so.

Now, when you use your Mouth to alienate and create enemies for Igbos or Peter Obi, is it the Northerner that will vote for or allow an Igbo President in Nigeria? huh shocked
Is it the North that hates the Igbos like mad, that will support the actualization of Biafra or support the need for a Referendum on actualization of Biafra?
Or maybe you think these Political Objectives can be actualized BY FORCE or WAR?
Even when you are Strong or you are Right, it is better to make more Friends, than to make more Enemies, or to make everyone your Enemy
.
The Yorubas too dont like the North but they are intelligent enough to know that, for them to be relevant in the 'Power-Play' of Nigeria, they need ALLIANCE with either the North or the East.
So, if Igbos are insulting Yorubas the way you do, l guess they will have No Choice than to make Alliance with the North.

And when they do, you insult them more, meanwhile, you also cry of marginalization and being treated unfairly.

Guard your Tongue, it is sharper than a two-edged Sword, says the Bible, e get reason.

Reflect about it in your quiet time.

Also, it doesnt matter what u want to do, u entered their airspace uninvited, na u looked for their trouble. They have right to do anything they like to u for entering their space uninvited and without permission. I cant enter ur house without ur permission.
