Dem dey fear jaguar oooo. That animal is full of energy and very skillful

Trust me I have read with pictorial evidence of anaconda killing jaguars ( most times the juveniles) yes Jaguars are predominantly the animals that gain upper hands in such duels. In the animal kingdom any fights between two predators is always a "fight to the death".

FarmTech:
Pythons get their food by ambushing prey. If u find yourself close to one, you won't know when it strokes u. They are slow to move but super fast in striking. Its not the dogs fault because these snakes have been known to kill lions, lionesses, tiger and even elephants. Among all the animals in this world, I never stop wondering why God created this monster snake. I would rather face down a lion than a big snake of this type.

@op, I hope the dog survived.

Pythons reported to have killed lions, tigers, lionesses and elephant? You no go kill pesin with too much laff my brother that's not true no python will dare a full grown lion, lionesses, tigers and even jaguars but if you say juvenile lions ( of course that would be extremely difficult since lions move about in a pride), jaguar you may be right. The only member of the cat family that a python can overpower with ambush is a leopard. Please don't overestimate the power of any python here.

You will never see the new "China of Africa" there on that list, I am talking of no other State than Anambra the real shining light State. Thanks to Former Governor Peter Obi's lifeline. I pray that Obiano will continue in that trend.

The young salvation boy was lucky to have raised the alarm, otherwise he is done for.

Here we are again with another bogus claim to power stability just to stay relevant. Can any one in here run through the efforts made so far by this administration in collaboration with the private DISCO firms to improve power? Another thing, how many megawatt are we currently generating and what is the amount we can distribute.

Nonentities doing the bid of the bastards milking us dry. The question should have been, "why do we have idiots shielding the masses from the real facts"? One Nigeria when innocent lives are being wasted and hunger is spreading like virus.

Which kain JAMB question be dis I don't underetand except the writer of this piece is from Togo but here in Nigeria Prostitution is not only legal (they even have recognized association) but one of the highest employer of labour except prostitution means something totally different from what we used to know

The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Prof Itse Sagay (SAN) has fired back on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, stating they are national leaders of a ruling party because of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Professor of law pledged his loyalty to the President and Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
Sagay, who replied the tantrum threw on him on Tuesday by APC singled out the APC National Chairman, Chief John Ofigie-Oyegun and National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi as those destroying the party because of their loyalty to the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki.
In a statement he posted online, he said, “I am an accomplished man long before any appointment. I am not a ‘‘come and chop’’ politician like you lot.”
“My loyalty is to the President and not to the party which has continued to fail under the leadership of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun”.
“To start with, I am not a ‘come and chop’ person as you are. I did not come to ‘chop’; so the party is not doing me a favour. You are the ones that have come to ‘chop’.

“Secondly, my criticism of APC is not against President Buhari who I think is a man of great honour, integrity and whom I admire and who inspires me.
“I took this job because of Buhari and Osinbajo, who I admire greatly. The people I am referring to in my criticism are John Odigie-Oyegun and one Bolaji Abdullahi, who is (Senate President Bukola) Saraki’s Man Friday. They are dining with the devil who wants to destroy the party.
“They are appeasers, who are acting the way (former) British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, appeased Adolf Hitler and in the process, they will destroy the party because they are weak and unable to confront evil and they will end up helping that Hitler to destroy the party.

“What is APC without Buhari, Osinbajo and Tinubu? The Oyegun-led executive, which is doing a policy of appeasement, will destroy the party.”

Only bastards support this government

Security is it! They feel more secure dating married men because of the care and protection they get unlike the life of uncertainties they face dating unmarried wayward and over smart guys.

Nogodye:
Clown for President...The man is just playing

Really? So Buhari is working and he is not jesting

MMMw:
seems like u stopped at primary 1

You are perfectly right on that kid.

PEPPERified:
The Nigerian Army are militant kidnappers.
Al zakzakky is still fresh in our minds.

Wrong bro, was it not the same Nigerian Army that existed under Goodluck Jonathan? We now have an animal in power called Buhari who turned the Nigerian Army into beasts. This is about Buhari who hated the Igbos with passion and not the Nigerian Army who are just following orders. Buhari shall know no peace for killing unarmed ipob peaceful protesters.

Going by the animalistic tendencies of this useless government of Buhari and APC and their gross contempt for the rule of law one can rightly say (although not palatable) that the Dino Recall is an exercise in futility!

Only the truth can set free no matter what and this is what this erudite Professor had said. May God bless him real good.

dasanctuary:
Were those agitators dead or far as sleep during GEJ regime that they forget to make their points known so they can easily part away without all these noise.

Why are you like this? Did Jonathan make an unfortunate statement of 97% and 5%? Do you even reason at all?

Cool pix the guy looks handsome no doubt with a beautiful wife to go.

By 2019, Nigerian 15 million mumus and zombies that forced this useless government on us would looked back with regrets for taking innocent Nigerians into the dark age. This is the worst of the worst government to ever grace Africa.

nwabobo:
I do have evidence that Aufbauh was deported from Germany.

Make I dey observe you jejely as you speak on.

FeloniousFelon:
This move is meant to ban and expel NGOs like Amnesty Intl and Transperency Intl who have severely condemned this govt on gross human rights abuse and widespread corruption.

Now that's the frigging truth.

Please don't tell me that Amnesty International and Transparency International had been banned by this useless govt.

The clown eye just dey open when day don break finish. Stylishly supporting RESTRUCTURING he is not even bold to declare it openly like Obj, Atiku etal. Good morning Tinubu!

But in reality REVERSE IS THE CASE!

Miserable lots

This is the type of thread Lalasticlala should immediately rush to the frontpage this is the only Country we have for now until we go our separate ways. This demonic mallam of cursed lineage has succeeded in putting Nigeria in her worst shape ever by dividing us deeper along ethnic and religious lines. Only a worthless being will expect meaningful change from Buhari.

TheKabal:
The entire brouhaha in Nigeria was because Ironsi did not have the guts to court justice.

He went on to not only ignore the coupists. But also appoint most Nigerians of Igbo extraction to key positions

Exactly Ironsi undoing however not all key positions had people of Igbo extraction even the North and West were compensated but he opted for merit based style to appoint positions rather than the faulty quote based system the Northerners were used to. ZKOSOSO, I feel you

Na now this one dey wake up? Something wey some of us don see teytey

OjukwuWarBird:
The foolish government has not solved the problems that made many people identify with Kanu

Exactly the point bro!

A deserved response to the most useless Minister of Information to ever grace the land.

That Lauretta is really a dirt

A Million Pythons Cannot Dance Away The Biafra Question By ‘Fisayo Soyombo
The deployment of soldiers to the South-East has caused needless tension.
BY ‘FISAYO SOYOMBOSEP 18, 2017

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding. — Albert Einstein


Whoever he is, the military officer who coined the codename ‘Python Dance’ is a genius. Although an original version of the military operation, the Python Dance I, held between November 27 and December 27, 2016, no one should have looked any further than the codename to deduce the possible outcome of the army’s latest incursion into the south-east. As a rebel scientist, I’ll break this down.

‘Python Dance’ more than mere nomenclature

Although they are a family of nonvenomous snakes, pythons, scientifically Pythonidae, can be extremely dangerous. They are some of the largest snakes in the world, and are notorious ambush predators in that they typically lay motionless to evade the notice of a passing prey but then suddenly strike when danger is least expected. Ordinarily, no one should tease the python — that is where Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) got it wrong. Even though it looks innocuous when motionless, a python cannot be active without inflicting harm — that’s the misjudgment of the army, the thought that the operation would run without tension.

Prior to the take-off of the operation, the Nigerian Army acted like a python, listing a raft of harmless activities to cover up its one controversial aim of the operation. David Dawandi, a Major-General and Chief of Training and Operations of the army, said in a statement on September 8, that “during the exercise, emphasis will be placed on raids, cordon-and-search operations, anti-kidnapping drills, roadblocks, checkpoints, patrols, and humanitarian relief activities such as medical outreach.” That’s the motionless python. The statement also made it clear that there would be a “show of force to curb the rising threat to national security in the south-eastern part of the country.” A “show of force”? That’s a python in ambush mode. The summary is that it was an unnecessary operation. For many reasons.

Needless dance

Nnamdi Kanu’s court trial is ongoing. When he returns to court on October 17, the court will hear the federal government’s application for the revocation of his bail. There is no chance Kanu will win that argument — unless Justice Binta Nyako, who granted him bail in April, wants to make a mockery of herself and the judiciary. Kanu has repeatedly violated his bail conditions, the most obvious being his prohibition from hanging out with a company of more than 10 or granting interviews. The violation of the latter Kanu has already tried to defend, bizarrely claiming that he doesn’t “grant interviews” but he only “answers the questions” of journalists because it would be “rude and arrogant” of him to keep quiet when asked a question! But no such ingenious explanation exists for the former; there are numerous footages of him among scores and hordes of people, including videos of him preaching raw hate. Kanu’s return to prison will be permanent in October, so the first question for the army: why roll out the pythons against a drowning adversary?

While the pythons were still dancing, the defense headquarters rushed to designate IPOB a terrorist group without even taking a moment to find out the procedures, as laid down by the same law they claim to be enforcing. The army erred by failing to follow the provisions of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011, amended in 2013, that “setting up or pursuing acts of terrorism, the judge in Chambers may on an application made by the Attorney General, National Security Adviser or Inspector General of Police on the approval of the President; declare any entity to be a proscribed organization and the notice should be published in official gazette.”

Even that move itself is an overkill. Of course, Nnamdi Kanu is very annoying — I can imagine the Chief of Army Staff watching him in one of his numerous hate videos and itching to grab his throat and strangle him. There can be no arguments that he is unstable: how can a man who so passionately preached Nigeria’s unity under Goodluck Jonathan now so vehemently champion secession? But a more careful look at him will reveal his true nature: a mere radio/internet noisemaker elevated to the status of Biafra champion by a zealous and unlawful Muhammadu Buhari government. Kanu would never enjoy half his current popularity if he wasn’t repeatedly denied bail. Kanu talks too much; die-hard rebels talk less and act more. His Biafra Security Service (BSS) is toothless; not one of the so-called trainees carried any sort of weapon. They, in fact, looked too confused to be able to withstand confrontation by a private, the lowest-ranked officer of the Nigerian army. Little wonder Kanu himself is now in hiding.

Lessons and questions

The deployment of soldiers to the South-East has caused needless tension. The death of a hard-to-ascertain number of people, the assault on suspected IPOB members (which, by the way, will go unpunished despite the army’s claim to be investigating it), the combing of buses by IPOB members in Aba for Hausa to harm, the Igbo-Hausa tension in Jos and Port Harcourt are all worrying scenarios that would have been avoided without military action. The seething inter-ethnic tension is worrisome; this is how wars start. In the past week, whether we admit it or not, Nigeria took one giant step towards a second Civil War. The good thing, though, is that the situation is still reasonably under control. To avert a total breakdown of law and order, our leaders must learn from our history and ask themselves the hard questions.

Speaking of lessons, it is hard to imagine how quickly our leaders have forgotten the role of military action in the escalation of Boko Haram from a nonviolent ideological group under Yusuf Mohammed to a ruthlessly violent one under Abubakar Shekau. The 2009 police crackdown on Boko Haram in Bauchi led to violence in Kano, Yobe and Borno states; and after Mohammed’s capture by the military and extrajudicial execution by the police, the reins of Boko Haram fell on the bellicose, blood-thirsty Shekau. The rest, as they say, is history. It will take decades for the north to recover from the ruin of this insurgency — the deaths of hundreds of thousands, displacement of at least 3 million people, the humanitarian crisis, the sheer destruction of flora and fauna, the physical and socioeconomic regression. So, even if the military succeeds in taking out Kanu, the Biafra mantle will naturally be transferred to someone else, who may even be more dangerous than Kanu. Tact, not force, is what President Muhammadu Buhari needs to handle Kanu and the Biafra agitation.

There are two questions the government must answer if Nigeria must remain peaceful. Why, despite his apparent weakness of character, lack of purpose, unruly choice of words, does Kanu continue commanding huge youth following? And, why, after almost four decades post-Civil War, are we still discussing Biafra? I do not have all the answers, but I’ll supply some.

First question: as I said earlier, Kanu is the number-one beneficiary of government’s misuse of power. But more importantly, Kanu’s followers are mostly made up of unemployed or unprofitably employed, disillusioned youth who have finally found someone to identify with their struggles. For the second, it must mean that the Biafra question was never addressed after the war. Buhari must think long and hard about what the Igbo want, why they feel sidelined, and what he can do to make them feel part of Nigeria.

Otherwise, a legitimate Biafra question will be left in the hands of an opportunistic Kanu, and we will lose a golden opportunity to once and for all resolve our differences and strengthen the bond of our nationhood. Buhari should let the courts decide Kanu’s fate. He must jettison the use of force and embrace dialogue — because whether we like it or not, a million pythons cannot dance away the Biafra question!

For what? What is the problem with these mindless monkeys? What is so difficult in asking for [b]RESTRUCTURING AND TRUE FEDERALISM [/b]devoid of fiscal rascality and dominance from a particular region as the current Federal Government Allocation is structured? The IPOB agitation has come to stay and no devil can shake it off by these monkeys and their master (Buhari)!
