He already led from the front when he was Zelensky’s age (as seen in his photo @ Owerri during the biafran war).

Even as a civilian President in his late 70’s, he has made several visits to Maiduguri in the heat of the BH war.

I still have my reservations regarding his handling of insecurity generally, but the comparison was dead on arrival.

Soso990240:
so this is the only situation where Nigerian Army de intimidate people? Oga look bush,.. na sentiment and misjudgement de kill una

Your inability to comprehend how perceived support for killer terrorists by the populace worsens the tendency for human rights abuses by soldiers is your problem, not mine.

VaselineCrew:
Bottom line is that we need to do better, but when will that ever happen?

Our police don’t do drills. Even private companies do fire drills that they take seriously, yet our police don’t do any response drills. no drills to cut response times, No drills on how to blockade a part of town should the need arise. There are only so many roads people can use and with the right emergency blockade, you can effectively cordon off an area.

Anyways one can only keep on hoping for a better force, and a better country.

Word. Cheers.

Whatever happened to pulling off his camo? Abi it's not allowed?

I’m not sure but that could amount to desertion which is a punishable crime in the army.

VaselineCrew:
I agree totally!

However, we all know that it is extremely rampant here in Nigeria.

Even I was almost a victim of soldier brutality in my own estate simply because I greeted soldiers “good evening”! Don’t have time to tell the whole story, but it was all because I said “good evening”.

At least those ones abroad get punished when caught.

See how the whole world was screaming George Flyods name, yet at the time, Nigerian police had murdered 22 Nigerians because of COVID curfew.

Yet NO ONE REMEMBERS THE NAMES OF YHESE NIGERIANS!

Indeed I agree it’s more rampant which could likely be attributed to less effective internal discipline mechanisms, as well as ignorance/insensitivity to human rights on this end.

When that is then mixed with a population that seems to give moral support to the proscribed terrorists killing such soldiers at will, then the tendency for abuses goes up a few notches.

VaselineCrew:
Before even terrorist, soldiers still intimidated civilians.

Telling someone’s father to frog jump in front of his children got a simple traffic offense. Why not hand them over to a court to pay a fine?

Soldiers that have been telling civilians to swim in gutters.

Don’t act like Nigerian soldiers haven’t been this way since even your childhood.

Of course there are indisciplined deviants that abuse the vulnerable in forces across the world, including the US Army.

Ever heard of waterboarding? Google the atrocities of US Soldiers in Guantanamo Bay.

Soso990240:
But the best trained foreign soldiers dont intimidate civilians.. so, dont compare the 2..

When the civilian population openly supports proscribed killer terrorists, then the line differentiating them becomes increasingly thinner.

Quite impressive. Despite the insecurity, some Northern governors efforts in delivering infrastructural projects have been quite commendable.

Meanwhile Ortom his neighbour is busy boxing shadows and fooling himself.

Onepeople:
Spineless Nigeria soldiers, they are ready to demonstrate strength when they sight armless civilians, go to imo state and watch them burn your home because you insulted their wives.

Even the best trained foreign soldier will always take cover when clearly outnumbered; while he waits for backup.

IPOB terrorists supporters and sympathizers reaping bountiful harvests.

Arewa is solidly behind Asiwaju. His support in 2015/19 will be reciprocated regardless of the desperate propaganda attacks by the usual tactless suspects.

We are true sons of our fathers.
Rikon Amana has always been one of our core values and guiding principles.

The bond between PMB and BAT remains cordial and iron-clad; ipod cannibals can only wish, dream, delude and console themselves.

Highly surgical intelligence operation. Biafraaud “intelligence” didn’t even know warris goin on till after a week after their leader had been captured.

I can only imagine the look on Ohamadikk’s face when he was cornered in the parking lot

Kudos to all the intelligence agencies and foreign allies involved.

Brave guy.

Walking the talk

Brimstone77:
....
He should also head to BBC or CNN who cares..

He shouldn't forget his court affidavit when going..very important...

He didn’t disappoint you or anyone in fact. At all.

He brought and flaunted it twice during the interview.

Watching Ijele Live on AIT (DStv Channel 253).

This guy will surely expose and totally bring down IPOB terrorists and their endless propaganda at this rate.

Fire on chief.

haffaze777:
Where have you been since all this while comrade?don't tell me you hide because you don't want to people to cannibalized you.

I took a hiatus to focus on some goals.

Will soon be back fully; most likely after the APC Presidential Primaries.

Stay safe and be wary of meth driven cannibals

trutharena:
Kwakwanso coming to APC.

Tinubu campaign DG already met with him yesterday.

This would be massive if it can be pulled off.

That would be some extra million votes from the Kwankwasiyya movement that would have gone to the PDP as usual.

We are together Gov. Sanwo Olu.

Truly, Tinubu totally deserves our support.

Pre-2015 I’d have had no qualms with voting one, however with IPOB and everything rotten, insultive, provocative & antagonistic that is characteristic of the terrorist group with tacit and overt support of the Igbo majority, I’d honestly rather vote a log of wood.

Too late to cry when the head is already off.

Same Elders gave tacit support to Kanu & IPOB over the years, but are now doing a 180 degrees about turn to deny their proclivity for secession now that the Presidency is about to elude them once again thanks to the utter foolishness of Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB for the past 6 years.

LegendHero:
Lol.

Peter Obi will win all the states in the North in 2023 because it’s Igbo turn.

Infact he will win Katsina and Kano with 90% of the votes and El-Rufai family are inconsequential.

Top-notch sarcasm. On point.

post=109408969:
Where have you been bro?
Been a while.
Misss your intellectual outputs here on this forum.
One of the sensible and intelligent member we have on Nairaland.
Happy New Year and all of us @MANNA wish you all the very best life can offer.

Thanks and Happy New Year dear @MANNA - unrelenting tormentor of ipob terrorists & latrine mouthed enemies of Nigeria alike

Obvious even to a blind bat.

“But what I wonder is when Kanu was simply in Europe, abusing this administration and mentioning too many things, I never thought really he wanted to voluntarily come and defend himself on the accusations he has.

“So, we’re giving him an opportunity to defend himself in our system and not to be abusing us from Europe as if he was not a Nigerian. Let him come here with us and then criticise us here in Nigeria, let him be listened to.

Classic PMB

It amuses me to see that some people thought the terrorist Kanu would not account for all his insults and instigation of killings of Nigerian security agents and other innocent Nigerians while he was in the UK? Really?

The one that takes the cake is that these same people expect that the terrorist would be unconditionally released from his cage after we picked him up from Kenya - after tolerating his provocation for so long - with so much surgical precision that ICOB "intelligence" had no idea he had been captured for 8 days. Lol keep dreaming as it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle before that happens.

Did they think Ojukwu was a fool for seeking pardon and campaigning for Shagari after wasting millions of his people and fleeing to Ivory Coast in a similar agitation 50+ years ago? Those that fail to learn from the experiences of their forefathers are bound to repeat the same mistakes. Lamidi Kanu will be wiser in choosing his opponents next time if he ever survives this.

I think you might have missed a vital question;

What would happen to the children that refuse the beerfran anthem & continue to sing the Nigerian national anthem?

Are they also going to be cannibalized/beheaded by ipob like the remaining "saboteurs", or used as little moving targets by "unknown gunmen"?

Just asking o

Prime4life:
If this letter is for buhari then bros Tompolo why are you stressing your sef to write this long letter, that dryfish called our president can't even read. So why not take your boys there and remove that murderfucker from his seat so that rice can come in to the country this december. Nairalanders am i on point.

No you're not.

The letter wasn't written to or directed at President Buhari; rather it was for late President Yar'Adua.

On assumption of office on 29th May 2007, MEND and the peoples of the Niger Delta greeted you with a unilateral ceasefire and opened a wide window for a peaceful resolution of the regional crisis. On 29th June 2007, your Vice President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan visited regional agitators in Camp 5 with a message of peace, and the process was agreed upon.

Ignore the mischievous title.

PrinceOfLagos:
By bowing down to his fellow man like an idiot before a northerner?

Have you ever see him bow like that to any yoruba first class king ?

Will Buhari ever bow to any man like that be it dantata or Ooni of ife the way Tinubu bowed shamelessly to dantata?

The wise stoop to conquer.

Pride always goes before a fall.

If still in pains, apply thrice hourly to centre of forehead.

The Jagaban knows who is who in this country, and that's why he is who he is.

...and that's how IPOB terrorists were given a gigantic middle finger by the sensible south

Tactless, impulsive & unstrategic cold-blooded killers.

HustlePro:
Largest Voting Bloc that cant generate VAT or scared of such...

Go and argue with Kano/Kaduna VAT.

Largest voting bloc indeed.

FakeUnity:
[s]And then we will play the game you played in 2015 by installing another abokki to your chagrin.[/s]

Hold it there.

If you had the power or capacity to install anything you would have installed yourselves tey-tey instead of wailing and blackmailing all over the place.

I laugh in imaginary powers

Unfortunately all you scribbled down there doesn't explain the tactlessness and gaping lack of strategy in burning bridges and building walls where bridges should be built.

Without rotation any southern candidate can win the elections (like Abiola did and PYO will do) as long as they form alliances with the North (instead of tactlessly alienating them) which is the largest and most powerful voting & political bloc in the country not only by states.

mandax:
Licking people’s ass is your own perception of tact and strategy.

The presidency is rotated because of the lopsided political structure of Nigeria created by northern soldiers to favor north with 19 states, but 2 old southern regions have only 17 states.
Land mass is never used as yardstick to create states in a country formed by different regions.

Creating excess number of 19 states in the northern region tilted political power too much to the northern region. Rotation is the only way a southern presidential candidate can win presidential election in Nigeria, provided north is not supporting any northern presidential candidate.

A presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 24 states before proclaimed winner.
Do the Maths.
