I heard that they switched off the transponder (whatever it is) to avoid being detected.
Why do that if you are innocent?
My take is that they wanted to help France in toppling the Burkina Faso government being boldened by the Benin Republic bombing.
Nigeria is a shame to Africa.
Always quick to help neocolonialism

Not the way Burkina faso has to cling to Russia. They are only as powerful as Russia backs them. Even at that,they are still vulnerable. One disagreement with Russia and they will start struggling.

This is a serious affront on Nigeria. Agreed there is a violation of the airspace, which is not intended to cause any harm to their country but to restore peace to Benin Republic.

The deployment was directed by ECOWAS Security and Mediation Commission. What is both ECOWAS or Nigeria Foreign Affairs Minister doing to secure their release within 48 hours.
We are beginning to loose respect we once commanded in the subregion and amongst fellow African countries.
you never commanded any respect before.
Nigeria was busy entrenching Western hegemony over African nations from Congo in the 60s till date.

Tinubu should declare war on them and this war will be over in 2hrs. And democracy restored in Burkina Faso
What, so they will blame Nigeria for the problems they've gotten themselves into? No, Nigeria should act diplomatically, give them long rope, let them wallow in thire pride and hubris. Let them battle with the terrorists closing in on thire capital, they and Mali.

Nigeria has little to fear from Russia with whom Nigeria military has a working relationship. It's France Nigeria need to watch. Nigeria should not for a second believe that Burkina Fasso and Mali are not in covert negotiating and plotting with France.
Re: Nigerian Soldiers Spend Sixth Day In Burkina Faso Detention by Litmus: 9:54pm On Dec 14, 2025
Nigeria needs to desist from this constant “African brothers” rhetoric. My predictions are beginning to bear out. Last year, I warned that the AES alliance would eventually attempt to drag Nigeria into conflict. Even earlier, I cautioned that forces outside Africa were working to provoke a resource-control war that would stretch from Mali, across Central Africa, into the Congo, and toward the doorstep of South Africa.

Nevertheless, if Nigeria is wise, it need not be drawn in.

Nigeria must invest in Nigeria—north to south, east to west—railways, roads, industries, ports, and energy infrastructure. At the same time, we must strengthen our military, both in manpower and in technology. Border-control systems, drones, satellite capabilities, and strategic missile (intercontinental) deterrence are no longer optional. Like North Korea—whose military operates at a first-world level while the rest of the country remains underdeveloped—Nigeria must invest in military maturity .

We should not aim to be merely one step ahead of our neighbours militarily. We must be decisively ahead. Africa, as I have argued repeatedly, has not yet developed the trust culture required for reliable partnerships. Until jealousy and the entrenched “crab mentality” are overcome, the continent will remain vulnerable to external manipulation and exploitation.


I remain a Nigerian not an African.

Igbos will never be patriotic even if you built a highway to heaven for them. This is because they had no reason to carry out the bloody and brutal ethnic cleansing they called a coup in January 1966

Why then is Obi not president of Lagos

BTW, Obi won Lagos because many Yoruba Christians who called themselves Yoruba OBIDIENTS voted along religious lines but that voting pattern is not likely to happen again in 2031 because of the way Igbo OBIDIENTS insulted and kicked out the Yoruba OBIDIENTS out of the OBIF]DIENT movement

You guys are something else.

You lie brazenly and repeat the lie to yourselves and push it out as Gospel.

How was Yoruba marginalized in Jonathans Government? So BUHARI that you supported carried everyone along and TINUBU is also carrying every tribe along? You guys are something else. To think that we Southerners believed the Islamic North was the problem.

Tinubu has exposed your tribe ...e go too bad for una after TINUBU.

As regards IGBOs...you should be ashamed, ranting, lamenting ceaselessly about a tribe that fought a war, recovered and are better than you in present day survival indexes.

You should hide your head in shame. After all your noise they are still better than you by far.

Do you know that all flights from the 16th of December to the SE are fully booked, all transportation companies with their AC buses are gearing for the the festive season? Your propaganda against their region failed woefully.

Everyone has seen your antagonistic acts towards them and how they make you look lost without relenting in their self help actions that make them better than you by light years.

Omo go sleep...una be failure. Tinubu na President,Igbo man still be your headache. Shame.

Evil
See the way you have been wailing and crying just because I said Igbos should be kicked out of Nigeria.
Igbos fear to leave Nigeria more than anything and all those noise about wanting Biafra is just emotional blackmail and you know it.

Lastly, I hope you know the south east region is the least productive region in the country.

Tinubu won the election because El-rufia and co came to save his burning bumbum.

He has already been finished in most states like Abuja, Lagos, Osun and all the States in the east and south south excluding Rivers before El-rufia and co helped him from the northern flank.

On the issue of the Yoruba Christian in Lagos, based on the fumbling government policies of Tinubu, can we say that they are wrong in voting against this calamity called Tinubu?

Thanks be to God for suffering and insecurity the northerners are going through in the hands of Tinubu currently..... Let's see how they will support him foolishly again.

1) You are not a good liar. Maybe you should take some lying classes from Peter Obi who is far better than you in lying.
2) You are still a small boy in politics. Learn from your betters


El-Rufai was the first person in Nigeria to publicly declare support for Tinubu as far back as April 2022 to the extent that El-Rufai vacated his governorship seat for Tinubu when he visited Kaduna.

You thought you were smart when you avoided answering my questions as to why the Igbo OBIDIENTS assumed they were superior to Yoruba OBIDIENTS to the extent of kicking out the Yoruba OBIDIENTS out of the OBIDIENT movement

Keep deceiving yourself till you get to hell.....

El-rufia and co give Tinubu the president he is enjoying today having lost Abuja and Lagos, Nasarawa and all other North Central regions to the Obedient.

If your loud mouthed Jagaban can win election, why is he afraid of other parties?

Why is he destroying other parties just like he accused Obasanjo years ago when he was the governor of Lagos?

Anyway, you are born in Hypocrisy and you must have a Hypocrisy mentality.

I totally agree with you that Unity beggars are disgusting

The real unity beggers are :-
* Nnamdi Azikiwe : For writing the part of the constitution that made it treasonable felony for any part of Nigeria from breaking away
* Aguyi Ironsi : For arresting, trial and death penalty to Adaka Boro for trying to create the Niger Delta republic
* Emeka Ojukwu : For capturing and arresting Adaka Boro on behalf of Aguyi Ironsi Because Adaka Boro tried to create the Niger Delta republic
* Ben Nwabueze : For helping to writing the part of the constitution that made it treasonable felony for any part of Nigeria from breaking away
* Aguyi Irons : For creating decree 34 that abolished regional system and centralised power to the federal government.

Re: Nigerian Soldiers Spend Sixth Day In Burkina Faso Detention by esnbrutality: 11:47am On Dec 15, 2025
The unity beggars is the dofus that drank otapia-pia and was scammed by Gowon.

Tinubu also said he doesn't believe in NIGERIA.

All your rants doesn't still change anything. Those you listed are irrelevant. The fact remains that IGBOs and their kin want out. Stop begging for unity with your so called IGR that is bigger than that of Texas and California combined.

Adegboyega was deceived by the Igbo coup plotters and he went along with them not knowing that there was a coup within a coup.
Michael Okpara’s Eastern government was deeply implicated in severe corruption, massive election rigging, and political violence. If “office and corruption” were the criteria, Okpara should have been a prime target because he was the most corrupt person in the country at the time yet the coup plotters even protected him and did not allow any harm to him.
You can lie to yourself all you want but the truth will always hunt you even in your sleep. How come the death toll were mostly leaders from the north who were not even corrupt yet were brutally murdered without mercy.

As regards IBB’s book. IBB never exonerated Igbos from the massacre of other leaders in his book but because you think you could twist his word. Go and read page 41 and stop disgracing yourself online.

The following persons planned the January 15, 1966 coup:

Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna-Igbo
Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu-Igbo
Major Chris Anuforo-Igbo
Major Don Okafor-Igbo
Major Adewale Ademoyega-Yoruba

Of these people, only Major Adewale Ademoyega did not take part in the killings. Please find below the names and regions of the people they killed, and you decide whether or not the coup was one-sided.

1. Sir Ahmadu Bello from Northern Region.
2. Sir Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa from Northern Region.
3. Samuel Ladokr Akintola from Western Region.
4. Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh-Itsekiri from the Midwest Region.
5. Hafsatu Bello (wife of Sir Ahmadu Bello) from Northern Region.
6. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun (Brigadier Ademulegun's wife, who was eight months pregnant)-Yoruba from Western Region.
7. Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun-Yoruba from Western Region.
8. Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari from Northern Region.
9. Colonel Kur Mohammed from Northern Region.
10. Colonel Ralph Shodeinde Yoruba from Western Region.
11. Lt. Colonel Abogo Lagerma from Northern Region.
12. Lt. Colonel James Pam Northern Region.
13. Lt. Colonel Arthur Unegbe-Igbo from Eastern Region.
14. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke-Yoruba from Western Region.
15. Police Constable Philip from Northern Region.
16. Police Corporal Akpan Anduka-Efik from Eastern Region.
17. Police Corporal Hagai Lai Northern Region.
18. Police Corporal Yohana Garkawa from Northern Region.
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo from Northern Region.
20. Ahmed Pategi from Northern Region.
21. Zarumi Sardauna from Northern Region.

Now, out of a total of 21 people killed by the January 15, 1966 coup plotters, only Lt. Colonel Arthur Unegbe was an Igbo, and the reason he was killed was because he was the QuarterMaster-General, Army Headquarters, Lagos, and therefore was in charge of the armoury.

When Major Chris Anuforo went to his house to demand the keys to the armoury, he refused and was shot. He was NOT on the original list of people to be killed.
