I remembered one I witnessed sometime ago. Na so the mumu near me dey form James bond say na rubber bullet dem dey fire say nothing fit carry am from where he dey. By the time the soldiers got close nobody tell am to run for safety.
A lot of people commenting don't have any idea the kind of people the security forces were dealing with, if you understand hausa language well you hear the people making this video urging the protesters to deal with the army calling the army rifles toy guns, urging them to disarm the army, how do you deal with violent people trying to disarm you Huh?! imagine one of the protesters is able to disarm one soldier, you don't want to picture what will happen. Have you heard how many soldiers were killed in that protest? Three! And one of them was a relative of a close associate of mine. Sahara reporters didn't do their investigations well, who dares an armed person?! Who does that?
thesolutions: Since local government elections are not a national concern, I will do my best to report happenings around my vicinity regarding the conduct of the election.
Jos North, Jos South, Bassa, Riyom and Barkin Ladi local government areas had had cases of killings and crisis recently. I'm not sure if elections would hold in these areas.
Yes elections will not hold in the LGs you mentioned.
Jammey6551: *IF THE BIBLE WERE TO BE WRITTEN IN OUR TIME, THE STORY OF ATIKU COULD HAVE BEEN THUS*
AN ACCOUNT OF THE TRIALS OF ATIKU THE SON OF ABUBAKAR
1. In the seventh year that king Obasanjo reigned over the kingdom, a great trouble broke out in the land. For when his time was come nigh that he may descend from the throne that he called unto himself noble men in the land.
2. And he declared unto them saying: "Now that my days on the throne are few, allow me therefore to rule over thee for another four years".
3. And he gathered together of them that maketh laws in the Red Chamber in the city of the king, and even unto they in the Green Chamber, that they may amend the books of the law to favour him.
4. But this thing grieved Atiku the son of Abubakar who was the king's deputy. And he said unto his master, "howbeit seekest thou to rule over the people for another term? sweareth not thou by the name of thy god to set me upon the throne after thee?
5. Practice thou not this great evil against me and against the kingdom for it is written in the books of the law that a king may not reign but for two terms which equal eight years''. But these words changeth not the heart of the king.
6. And Atiku conspired with the Governors of the provinces and of the men who maketh laws in the city of the great king and they rejected king Obasanjo that he may continually reign over the kingdom.
7. And the king was wrought with grave anger and he declared according to these words to Atiku the son of Abubakar saying, "because thou hath done this great evil unto me, thou shall no longer sit upon the throne of this kingdom even unto thy death".
8. When the son of Abubakar saw that the king favoureth him not, that he departed from the camp of the king by the name PDP, and pitched his tent in the camp of the king's adversaries by the name ACN that he may contend the throne of the kingdom.
9. And it came to pass that Governor Yaradua who ruleth over the province of Katsina found favour in the sight of king Obasanjo. And when the time was come for the appointment of the king that he defeated Atiku and was appointed and anointed king over the kingdom. And king Yaradua ruleth the kingdom with the fear of God. But his days as king was full of affliction.
10. And when king Yaradua gave up the ghost that Goodluck the son of Jonathan who siteth by his side as the deputy reigned after him. But when the time was come nigh that the son of Jonathan be appointed again that Atiku departed from the camp of the king's adversaries and entered into the king's camp that he may be appointed.
11 . But the son of Jonathan defeated Atiku again for he spake according to these words unto the people, "I feel thy pains brethren for I was once like thee. I wore no sandals on the soul of my feet in the years of my youth when seeketh I knowledge, for my parents were of little means". And the people loved him and appointed him.
12. And the host of the other camps were vexed with a great vexation. For sixteen years they made battle against the king's camp and hath not prevailed against it.
13. And a certain noble man by the name Audu the son of Ogbe declared unto the leaders of the camps that contended the throne with the king's camp saying: "howbeit thinkest thou in thy heart to prevail against the king's camp if comest thou not together as one?
14. Harken to my voice this day, come let us reason together that we may enlarge our coast and verily, verily I say unto thee, the throne of the kingdom shall be delivered into our hands.
15. Of the camps that came together that day to form the APC were ACN from the west, ANPP from the North and a part of APGA from the East of the kingdom. Even the unhappy in the camp of PDP crossed over into the camp too.
16. And Atiku the son of Abubakar departed again from the king's camp by the name PDP and entered into the camp of the king's adversaries that he may contend the throne.
17. But Mohammed the son of Buhari was favoured among them that seeketh the throne from the camp of the APC for he swore unto the leaders of the camp saying, "Behold brethren, I am full of age and my eyes are becoming dim, suffer me to ascend unto the throne for I shall only reign for four years". And Buhari was anointed king over the kingdom.
18. And it troubled the son of Abubakar in his heart that he was rejected as king again. But he saith in his heart, I shall be of long suffering and remain in this camp for I shall ascend unto the throne after the fourth year of king Buhari.
19. But it came to pass that as the end of the fourth year of king Buhari's reign was at hand that the advisers in the king's court said unto him, be of good courage, gird thy loins and present thyself to be appointed again to reign over the kingdom for another four years.
20. And when Atiku heard of these words that he was vexed with anger and he repenteth that he joined the APC.
21. And he said, "I shall arise and go back to PDP which is the camp of my youth. And I shall declare unto them, “I have sinned against thee and against God. Accept me this day that I may once again contend the throne in thy bosom”.
22. And on the twenty fourth day of the eleventh month of the year before a new king is appointed that Atiku the son of Abubakar departed from the camp of APC and joined the camp of his youth.
23. And there was great jubilation in the camp of PDP that day for they said, “Verily, the prodigal son returneth.
24. But they forgot that Aremu, the son of Obasanjo, who still sees himself as the King maker, will not approve of it.
You really are something else, very creative! So what do we call this book and chapter?
Alexaonfleek: So I was talking about this with a friend of mine(a guy by the way) and he was like it isn't possible at this age. I told him that I wanted to keep mine till I got married and he said there's no way I won't be tempted to do it before then.
Well, we argued about it and I was trying to tell him that it's very possible. He told me that I'll just end up being addicted to masturbation if I didn't 'release' my sexual tension.
We eventually stopped arguing and closed the topic but when I thought about it, I was actually wondering if it's possible or I'm just being naive.
I really want to keep my virginity till my wedding night but I myself don't even know if this is possible. Please ladies and gentlemen, I need your thoughts about this.
I married my wife a virgin, we agreed when we started courting to keep sex until our wedding night. Well I proudly disvirgined my wife only after our wedding and we've been experiencing marital bliss seven years now and still counting.
My dear it is possible only if you are determined, you also have to pray that God brings a good man your way who will happily not only support you but be active in observing it too.
For those who will have the dirty mind that I was doing it outside sorry to disappoint you, I never ever even kissed another woman since I started courting my wife. So help me God, I do not ever intend to play away match.
Bottom line is, you can do it if you set out to do it. In fact it'll ward off all the bad men from your life.
Today is the very first day I used Google Earth on my laptop and I can tell you it is the greatest feeling in the world. It’s just like catching a flight and flying to any city in the world in a matter of seconds. Jesus, if you’ve never used Google earth before in your life, you’re missing out big time. It feels like flying from one country to another anyhow you like. It was as if I was controlling my own private satellite with a very powerful camera attached to it and I have complete power to zoom in and out of every city I want. You don’t need to have visa to visit that city you’ve always wanted to visit.
While it is a very exciting experience, I must also warn you that if you don’t have enough data don’t bother because it is very data consuming. No body on this planet can visit every city on earth but with Google earth, you can teleport straight to that city and have a street view of what it looks like. One of the most fascinating things about Earth was simply scrolling around to see what the world looks like from above. Now, you can get a much more realistic look at things. The 3D mode renders the world so you can see things from any angle, based on data from satellites and Street View. The “I’m feeling lucky” button blasts you across the globe to a random location and brings up a knowledge card so you can learn more. The cards include a description from Wikipedia, really cool.
I was so disappointed that only about 5% of Nigeria is captured on Google Earth, the rest is just 2D satellite images from the sky. A far cry from what I saw in Ghana where almost every street on Ghana, Accra, Kumasi is fully captured. I dragged myself straight to Sambisa forest in Maiduguri hoping to see battlefield with serious action in pictures but was shocked to see lots structures with Aluminium roofs in SAMBISA FOREST. Hmmm, I fear o.
Yes, navigating Earth through Nigeria is very frustrating, I've been to Sambisa too and one would have thought the attention that area generated will make Google give it a good coverage but nada. I've been right inside Stanford Bridge, Anfield, Old Trafford etc.
OP have you entered inside White House? You should try it, it's another experience. I tried entering Aso Rock but for where....
Exploring Google Earth is something I love doing, you can tell someone staying abroad lots of things about his/her Street, lol. Fascinating
dainformant: According to multiple online reports, this is the first Airwoman to be a Load master on the Nigeria Air force passengers aircraft specially known as C-130. The young and beautiful soldier identified as Acw Gonting EI is reportedly from Pankshin Local Government of Plateau state.
A load master is an aircrew member on a military transport aircraft tasked with the safe loading, transport and unloading of aerial cargoes. The loadmaster performs the calculations and plans cargo and passenger placement to keep the aircraft within permissible center of gravity limits throughout the flight
But right from time imoriver we've always been a rich and wealthy country, but our leaders have always ensured that the people remain extremely poor.
Tragedy of an unfortunate people
And Nigeria would have come first if all these thieving leaders have invested their I'll gotten wealth at home here but they always choose to run to Dubai, Europe and America to invest in real estate and what have you.
I strongly believe 90% of South Africans invest their wealth at home, same for the Egyptians.
We have the capacity to be at the top as a nation, but our leaders prefer the capacity for themselves alone not the nation at large.
4601CE: wow Christians are so peaceful that they had to ban him. What a peaceful punishment. I thought Christians don’t fight for god and jesus. So why ban him? When he could have been ignored ? Peaceful . My foot! Nonsense !
Imagine he did this "somewhere" his head would've been rolling since yesterday.
thesicilian: It still amazes me how one can sleep so deeply to the extent that a rodent will chew off part of your body without you waking up.
Bros you no hear the story of how rats dey chop feet dey blow cool air there so you enjoy the chopping until they comot before reality go nack you for head?!
While this is a laudable response from the FG to the people of Zamfara and Katsina, it shows the President as a predictable nepotist bigot. Just today in Adamawa CAN were severely brutalised by the Police for protesting against fulani herdsmen killings and sacking of 47 villages, worst killings were carried out at Benue, Plateau, Adamawa and Taraba by Herdsmen the only efforts of President Buhari is reluctant visits to those areas after massive outcries. Suddenly as the herdsmen/rustlers/bandits face Zamfara onwards Katsina the President wasted no time in sending fighter jets and military every every abi? While i'm saying it's good he responded this way but it would've been fair if he'd done same for the other communities who are still under threat, in fact those fighter jets should also be sent to reclaim those villages being illegally occupied by herdsmen in Plateau, Benue and Adamawa..
Sparkle777: Terrible, I have never encountered SARS in a negative way but the way guys dey complain abt dem don dey vex me. On a good side, I have seen them confront armed robbers,they did well that day. Now to the Taxify driver, it is compulsory to have a sound car,he should have checked the car properly before going out. I would have also suspected them if i was the Alice woman too. He also has his blame..
Madam even a very good car can develop faults sometimes, it is God that saves last last. And seriously didn't the woman see when the mechanic was leaving?! She was just being unnecessarily paranoid. They should compensate the man very well o
This man na mumu o, why should he be demanding for only 10m naira?! He should ask for 100m then the madam and SARRS eyes go clear. Before manhandling the man, they should have 1st gone to the Airport to check. Imagine the Police still calling it stolen bag even after establishing that it was forgotten at the Airport. Nigerians no dey deal with them thats why dem dey get mind to dey do all this nonsense
Ejimagift: Are Muslims not the majority in Nigeria? Are Christians up to Muslims in number? What is bad if Buhari appoints the majority in his cabinet?
Are you serious?! And who carried out the census to determine this fallacy? Keep deceiving yourself, you'll soon realise....
Stupid people with fake life, you are the husband and you can not produce or vomit even watery sperm. Crazy stupid generation, go to your LGBT community make somebody wife give you sperm(irony of LGBT is some husbands cannot produce sperm but eggs/ovaries while some wives can produce sperm) isn't this a confused generation?!
Today today if Miyetti Allah decides there will be no killings, then there will be no killings. Regrettably Buhari has vehemently refused to call Miyetti Allah to talk to them and ask them to stop. So everyone now knows that it's Buhari.
These people will never stop digging up excuses to divert admittance to their inadequacies, that is why these problems will not be solved for now until we have leaders that are able to take responsibilities for their failures.
After killing all the farmers and destroying all their crops and farmlands, will the herdsmen be exempted from the famine and hunger that is impending? Do the herdsmen survive on cow meat alone, don't they eat food grown on farms?! Someone should tell them other means of seeking redress so they will stop jeopardizing the future of this country please.
SweetSoup: Blaming Fulani herdsmen for every recent killings in the north may not be helpful towards finding the real killers. I strongly believe that other terrorist or just some local gangs (like baddo gang in Ikorodu Lagos) may be taking advantage of this to further their evil act. The security forces need to act swiftly and intelligently to arrest this terrible situation, enough of the blood shed pleeeeeease.......
Blaming of herdsmen for these killings is not done blindly, there are always victims that survived to tell who attacked and how they were attacked
Chai! If this mad man's video is not a movie, then they should employ him in Imo State University. The craze man can lecture PHD students o! they should just tie him to a chair, give him a topic and see how he will over deliver lol
Find Out What Buhari's Herdsmen Are Carrying: Sticks Or Weapons (videos) by Rotji(m): 10:49am
At every opportunity Buhari has repeatedly defended herdsmen as harmless herders, even when Donald Trump of US raised the issue of lingering killings in Nigeria Buhari was quick to absolve his herdsmen kinsmen as ordinary cattle rearers welding only sticks and machetes for clearing bushes. While we agree that not all herders are killers and most actually capture Buhari's description above, we have also come to not only hear or see but experience the brunt of the new wave of cattle rearing in Nigeria - herdsmen parading and brandishing sophisticated weapons sometimes moving along with their cattle and most times adopting guerrilla tactics to unleash mayhem and carnage on unsuspecting communities, villages and unfortunate farmers ambushed in their farms. These recent attacks cut acroos all the 6 geopolitical regions of Nigeria with the North Central/Middle Belt suffering the most.
The Middle Belt is generally adjudged the food basket of the nation but as it is now most farmers are either displaced by herdsmen or are scared of going to farm for fear of herdsmen ambushes. With the planting season upon us now, if the FG doesn't do anything the great famine that will fall on Nigeria will be a great disaster that no committee of nations will be able to deal with.
Behold the the videos of herdsmen, you be the judge if what the are carrying are sticks or sophisticated rifles.
[quote author=Terminator1234g post=68955742]ooooo... They have been caught [/quote
Am not sure about that, infact there are villages that are currently being illegally occupied by the herdsmen. Just like Boko Haram occupied several communities before, herdsmen have also sacked villages and occupy them. If government is sincere those villages have to be reclaimed and the natives brought back to their lands and farms
Terminator1234g: are you minding the jobless aggressive idiotic lazy wicked pigs of Biafra?
Children of evil and hate. They are repugnant to goodness and progress.
Who are the children of Biafra, were the 250plus killed in Plateau Biafrans? You are living in denial that is why the truth needs to be told. If there is sincerity in the response of government, nobody will be repeating these things. When the predator is protected and the prey left at the mercy of the predator do you expect the prey/victim to not raise alarm?
post=68955023: Interesting propaganda. You are the CSO of Buhari's farm to know those are the President cows I guess!
You guys will wail forever. No more corruption, let that sink!!
Nobody is saying these are the President's cows, but to say herdsmen don't carry arms is big lie that everybody knows in this country even you. This problem of killer herdsmen persist because government has refuse to accept that herdsmen need to be stopped from ceaseless killings.
And to your understanding fighting corruption means supporting herdsmen to kill and sack farming communities abi?! You are so blinded, who knows whether you celebrated the recent killings for you to pick offenses in this write up
