LOL. Even though i don't want our troops on the ground in Libya because of the complicated nature of that country. We could support in terms of logistics and finance but your suggestion of mining and digging trench on our Northern border is a military blonder. It would make your troop fixed and slow in case of a fast attack. This is the tatics France used during world war2 and we know how the german defeated them in less than 3 month.

Even financial and logistical support make we no gree abeg.

Abeg we still have a war in our hands now. Make we tidy boko finish first before going after their master.

Augustine of beegeagle suggested that Nigeria should either have mine fields in all border towns in the northern part of Nigeria, dig trenches or build high walls. I think that's what we should do immediately this war is over. Also we should continue arming ourselves like the Algerian's are currently doing. We can do it.

Fighting against ISIS is a no no for me. Let's have minefields in all border towns in Nigeria and let's see how ISIS army will sneak into Nigeria unnoticed without our formidable and we'll armed army/airforce challenging them.

Who are the Generals

This alone is enough to make sure that Okorocha doesn't come back. Lets not forget how it was rumoured that Ohakim beat up a Rev Father and how that rumour contributed in making sure Ohakim didn't come back.

If I were in Okorocha's shoes, I would sack the commissioners and aides involved and I will make a public apology to the widows.

Please Okorocha's advisers should not advise him to go and pay for another set of widows to do a counter protest biko. It will be a bad idea.

The only thing hindering me from venturing into this line is the fear of what's happening over there in the north.

I see this man joining politics immediately after he retires.

@Ayodee lied - I wish i had the time to explain - i have 2 papers due 1 week of march and i never write 'A'.

We have credible info on
1. who he is and his shady dealings on the internet. (from lindaikeji, to volkwagen and his wife)
2. his biased deduction from the pictures . (rooms compared where not similar, aquafina is sold in london, furniture is not exclusively sold, reporter social media account demographic does not change everytime she visits a different city.

I really wanted to spend some time to explain this info for a - z but i cant, however if this matter continues to be flogged - @ayedee will dance to fuji-fulani-calabar music, rememeber what we did to AIT and their fake polls.

Infact, lemme start writing.

We dey wait. Also go on twitter and post ur findings let's see if he'll respond

This should be interesting

hurricaneChris:
The crazy thing about AyeDee is that he seems to have much information with him.....even classified information about these politicians.

He seems widely-traveled. Very knowledgeable.....and he's a devout muslim. His name is Muhtkar.

Am really convinced that guy is on Jonathan's payroll. And he's worth every cash paid to him.

My brother he's worth it oh.

Imagine if he was in the payroll of APC

I hate reading papers these days. Most of the headlines and editorials are either figments of imaginations of the journalists or journalists writing according to the dictates of their politicians who pay their bills.

SergeAlain:
Have thoroughly read and digested the accounts of this soldier. I have never been in the army and so my comments cannot be out of experience. However, i have followed military history and technology for over 20 years and so i have a number of opinions based on what i have seen/read from other military campaigns etc.

In general let me start by saying that the Nigerian Army has not been professionally run since the days of IBB when it became a legitimate govt tactic to under equip and under train the military for fear of coups. Gen Ihejirika admitted when he took over that there had been no training exercises for years before he came in, troops were forbidden to even warm the tanks and fighting vehicles lest it became an excuse for mobilising for a coup. thus many of those equipment were patently serviceable by the time the BH insurgency escalated late 2013. Bearing that in mind the soldier in question had not been involved in real military maneuvers since he returned from Sierra Leone.

1. It is obvious that the soldiers were already scared once they heard they were going to the North East (in the training camp), and so they were actually already defeated. All that was needed was for BH to show up and they were ready to run. Hence the insistence on Aircraft, helicopters and tanks to do the main fighting so that they would be left with only mopping up. Mean while the Boko haram you are fighting is armed mainly with what you guys throw away/abandon as you are fleeing.

2. He made mention of the enemy using anti aircraft guns against men. For the un initiated this is true. BH uses high calibre guns from 12.7mm to 23mm mounted on trucks against the Nigerian Army, and the effect is deadly. However, we have now gotten to where the Soldiers are so scared that the mere sound of those guns appears to make them flee. What then would the Army do if it was involved in a conventional war (the soldier mentioned conventional war as if he were wishing for it Lolz) where the other army is well armed like yourself. E.g. If we actually got into a war with Chad or cameroun, these same soldiers would face sustained pounding by artillery (105mm to 155mm) and motars (81mm to 120mm) sometimes for days before you see the enemy infantry. Whereas Boko haram's anti aircraft guns have a range of 1.5 to 2km, some of the conventional artillery have ranges of over 15km. In fact what would the Army do if they were bombed by chad's Mig 29 fighter jets? In summary, if you cant cope with insurgents, dont even talk of conventional war, you would be a non starter.

3. He talked about adversity on the war front. I will respond with two stories-
a. During the Falklands war in 1982, the British army attacked the islands to recover them from Argentina (you can google it if you are interested). The plan was for soldiers to be airlifted from one battle to another by helicopters. Most of the choppers were based on a container ship called HMS Atlantic conveyor. Unfortunately fairly early in the war, Argentine aircraft attacked and sunk the ship with all the helicopters on board. As a result the British Royal Marines and Parachute regiments had to walk over 80miles from the landing point at Port San Carlos to the main Argentine strong hold in the capital Port Stanley. They achieved this carrying over 120 pounds of equipment each! In sometimes freezing climatic conditions and while enduring stiff rear guard actions from Argentine commandos. They still did their job. They did not use this as an excuse to run away.

b. The Biafrans faced continuously superior odds sometimes with no food for days, but they stood and fought for 30 months before surrendering. The soldier talks about receiving N1,000 per day vs N5,000 per day. Is this why he ran away? by the way where was he spending this money in a war zone? The issue bils down to resolve, and sadly it speaks about how seriously we take our Country to start with.


4. He mentioned being issued 3 magazines (i guess of at least 20-30 bullets each). The adequacy of this is relative. In the British Army a combat load of about 6-7 magazines were customary. However, it would be nice to check how many bullets the Boko Haram fighters carry each, and you might be surprised. As an example we may revisit the case of the Biafran Army. Those brave boys were sometimes sent into battle with as few as 10 bullets each. However, their saving grace was that they mostly carried Mauser and Le Enfield bolt action rifles (what you might call 'cock and shoot') this tends to make the soldier try to make every round count unlike when you have an auto rifle. The other matter is of course the range of your weapon--- In the North East engagement ranges of over 500m are normal, whereas the Nigerian Army standard issue weapon the AK 47 is only accurate to about 250m (this is no short range, bear in mind that at 200m a man is about the height of a small pencil and very few soldiers can shoot accurately at that range irrespective of the weapon they are carrying). Thus the bottom line is fire discipline. Hold your fire until the enemy closes to within your accurate shooting range e.g. 150m and then give them hell!!! To achieve this you need disciplined soldiers, who are accustomed to being shot at. Disciplined soldiers who before hand have dug real deep dug outs with proper sandbagged positions, so that once your head is down, you are safe even from shelling by 155mm artillery (except of course there was a direct hit). Just consider, a force of 300 soldiers each with 30 bullets. If they achieve even a 20% hit ratio, each man would hit 6 enemy. I.e. Boko Haram would have taken 1,800 casualties. This is a bit theoretical, but you can see that 3(90 bullets) magazines (per man)well utilized would have stopped the BH in their tracks.

In summary, the work of a Soldier is not easy and it is clear many people in the Army today dont know what they are there for. When you live in free accommodation, enjoy free transport (as staff), free clothing for 5 days of the week, and draw a salary. You should DO your job when the time comes. Complain about the N4,000 short fall after you have won, and see if Nigerians will not fight for you to get your money.

Men are defined not by how they respond when times are easy, but how they react to adversity!!

IT IS INSTRUCTIVE THAT NOT ALL THE SOLDIERS IN QUESTION CHOSE TO RUN AWAY! Some who suffered the same issues as him are still diligently doing their job and are involved today in the crushing of this same Boko haram whom this soldier is making to appear invincible and immortal!!!

I rest my case sirs!

Wonderful piece Sir.

We need you, Henry120, Agagust and other guys like you who are knowledgeable to continue to enlighten most of us. I know it can be frustrating trying to educate us because some people here in NL have ulterior motive due to political affiliations while some can be very annoying. Please anytime you see threads that has to do with d military like this, try and put in a word or two.

warrenweste:
thats nt true its 201 at access bank on thursday

I believe you use card?

I also believe the poster meant black market/bureau de change exchange rate.

The recent increase in exchange rate may also be connected with election postponement. That's why I don't want this election to be postponed again. Lets get it over with come March 28.

Any other postponement, the exchange rate may be 500 naira to $1.

warripekin:
Apart from IMO and Anambra u mentioned, my consultants also mentioned cross-river, Abia, parts of Bayelsa and Rivers state. Edo and Delta were also mentioned. In fact the guys @ nifor office also added Enugu state. Two of the largestoil palm plantation in Nigeria are in Warri north Delta state and Edo state. I.e pressco and okomu oil plc. I would have looked at delta state but for the cost of land and community and youth problem. I got almost 3 thousand hectares in Benue state close to tony elumelus farm( tetra agro) and I am considering using the space for something else. So Enugu and parts of Ebonyi are the other places mentioned and cost of land in these places are far less than what u will get in Anambra, Imo and even crossriver. [/b]Again because of obasanjo farms that took more than 10000 hectares in crossriver state[b], it is becoming difficult to secure land there as well.

1000 hectares of land

Land don finish for Cross river nah.

I never knew Tony Elumelu has a farm in Benue. What's he producing?

Very safe. Don't mind the idiots that don't think before typing. How are you, smartie?

dominique:
I still maintain that if this government manages to wipe out the insurgency within a month, then they're the ones behind it.

Is it also safe to say that if Buhari fulfills his promise of stopping boko haram in 2 months, that Gen Buhari is also behind boko haram?

collinsVP:
The man spoke the way he did either because he did not follow issues to logical conclusion or he is a mischief maker seeking attention. To address some issues he raised, Union bank has lost it's case to Mbaka in Lagos mid last year. Ask questions. The issue of Chimaroke Nnamani the former governor of Enugu state whom Mbaka said will die - according to him(Mbaka) did not die because subsequent to that curse, Bishop of Enugu diocese compelled him(Mbaka) to celebrate a public mass of forgiveness to reverse the curse. Other issues are political that you should analyze based on how much you know your right as a citizen. If GEJ should be applauded for some key infrastructure and reduction in fuel pomp prize which was brought about by global event is a subjective right of all to do, bet for me is my right and he is not overseeing them for free. If we analyzed the cost benefit of GEJ administrion without inputing Boko Haram, no doubt we will arrive at a loss. Only corrupt adventures thrive in the country.

Biko where and when did he celebrate the mass of forgiveness

Daji Sani in Yola
Locals in the central parts of Adamawa state have disclosed seeing helicopters dropping pamphlets and flyers whose content indicated regrets by atoned members of the Boko Haram sect, confessing that they were brainwashed by some leaders of the sect to loot, destroy properties and kill innocent Nigerians.

The pamphlets were written in English, Hausa and Arabic languages
but the contradiction and confusion in the messages is that the pamphlets were signed by towns not persons, namely Gamboru, Damask and Alagamo.
In one of the pamphlets, the atoned sect members claimed regretting the killings, maiming and lootings, as they also laments how they destroyed the country’s economy and urged their former colleagues to have a rethink and run for their dear lives before it is too late.
The locals claimed that the pamphlets and flyers were seen distributed at about 5am on Friday, as they added that the development ensued tensions and apprehension in the affected areas.
On of locals who simply Identified himself as Kabiru said that ’People begun to fear,so I immediately phoned the executive chairman of the council to intimate him, who also confirmed from security chiefs in Yola ,saying it was military helicopters spreading peace message to residents,’’
Kabiru who hails from Gombi noted that there was serious confusion in Gombi as the helicopters dropped the flyers of what appears to be a Boko Haram splinter group as it contained apologies to the people .
‘’We are shocked and there was apprehension ,when we saw the helicopter hovering over us dropping the pamphlets with Boko Haram inscription indicating their regrets.
‘’People begun to scamper, until it was understood that it was a military helicopter spreading peace message to us,’’ said a community leader in Gombi, who doesn’t want his names mention.
Another panicked resident Bello Adamu said in a telephone chat that, ‘’the pamphlets are written in three different languages namely Hausa, English and Arabic. I got that of Hausa and English.
‘’It read thus: We started this jihad of Ahlis sunna lidda awati together as one. We sleep together, we eat and drink together. We studied the Holy Quran and prayed together in the early days of this Jihad. Those of us that are doing the work of God for the past 5yrs today. We have to realize today that we are being used for selfish and corrupt reasons. We have reached a situation whereby our leaders are enjoying and we are suffering in the name of jihad.’’
Mr Adamu further that, ‘’ We are panicked and afraid, though there are soldiers and other security personnel in town.
He also said the flyers were dropped in Song local government area,
‘’Two military helicopters dropped flyers saying that it’s from Boko Haram who are now regretting their heinous acts,‘’ he said.
This is the second time in recent weeks that Boko Haram claims to have distributed flyers .
During the last episode, Boko Haram surprisingly briefly captured Gombe town, Gombe state and distributed such flyers before leaving.
A critical analysis of the messages showed spellings and pronunciations that appeared Nigerien or Chadian and not Nigerian Hausa ,while the flyers were signed by towns, Gamboru, Damask and Alagamo

I knew CAN is all about fraud the moment they start using CAN president plane to launder money around the world,and I wonder why A seating president would donate private jet to a CAN president for a birthday,I pity Nigeria we are doom

Who told you it was GEJ that donated the private jet

tabletgirl:
Most welcome. Is that grin for my ten support lines or just a friendly grin. Take time ooo

Friendly grin. Though I wouldn't mind seeing a screen shot of ur 10 support lines

tabletgirl:
No, i dont use engulfing patterns at all because i found it difficult o get the right level for plotting my resistance and support. Might be easy for you but i used to plot like 10 lines on one 5 mins chart page *hides face*

With study, you will realise trading is simpler than we realise. The bars are telling stories. Beautiful green stories Price directions. You can know the direction of price by looking at the previously formed candle. Find out what they say, studying candle stick patterns will only confirm what you think price is saying and increase your greens.

Ohk thanks

tabletgirl:
(Sorry guys, this is a loooong one)

Hi guys,

Please just a little contribution to this thread. The key things that hurt equity (your trading capital) is greed and jumping from strategy to strategy.

I trade Rise and Fall. First of all, the problem is not Binary.com. If you have used them well, you will discover that NO MATTER how low the time frame is, usually, one payout will be over 100% and the other sometimes as low as 45%. Why? This is based on the direction of price using the average of the time frame you are using. From my studies, if the most recent direction (candlestick) of that time frame (average) has been going down, the lower payout will be based on the fact that it will begin to go up. Higher percentages are given when you are predicting that the market will continue in that direction. Hope its clear? Most of my trades are over 100% payout. I just won one with 109% payout. To be honest, i dont think i have ever hard 109% that's why i am mentioning it. Usually, i get 105%, 106%, 101%, 102% etc. Rarely i get 98% and sometimes 99%

So how can you achieve this? Price Action. PLEASE dont ignore this. It can change your life!! I martingale on every loss but i dont have to do too much martingaling. I will post a screenshot of 7 consecutive wins i just took this morning. First for the day was a loss, the next 7 were winning trades. How did i discover this? You can laugh but i believe it was God. I put in work studying the charts...i can study till 2am. Almost every single night after a hard day at work, i pull out my laptop and study and analyse till i get sick of seeing candles, yet next day i am back at it. It is a principle of the Bible that when you sow you will reap. Let me stop here and give you the specifics.

People on this thread talk of a certain man's price action book, i have never seen it at all. I also hear it will take so long to read. Its a worthy investment, but if you want to start right away, just go online and see what DIFFERENT candlestick analysis sites say about different candlesticks. I say DIFFERENT because one might say something without enough information. Take these patterns one after the other and look for them on your chart(previously formed patterns using your selected timeframe of choice), spend at least 3 days on ONLY one pattern so you can be well grounded in it before you leave it. Try and spend at least 3 hours a day studying and looking for these patterns on the charts. Most importantly study what happens AFTER the pattern is found on the chart. Take a pen and paper (keep a journal like me) and write down how many times it went the way it should and the way it should not have. Check the time it went bad (low volatility? news?) and get the percentage wins over one previous week (i call it manual back testing). This is a lot of work but the rewards will be enjoyed for a long time. Do the same for all patterns. Someone said in a previous post that applying the patterns is where the problem is, but comparing with the chart as you study will make the application process easier.

After your analysis and study period, check the percentage win rate for each backtested candlestick pattern(you can google how to check percentage if you dont know how to or have forgotten) and decide which candlesticks will be the best to use for your trades. I think its best to stick to a few effective ones so as not to get confused in trading signals.

It feels great to be able to trade charts without any indicator and come out green. Please, STOP chasing strategies. If you are tall and light skinned and carry a backpack everyday on your way to work, if someone sees you from a distance along that route one day, they can almost safely predict it is you before you come close. That is Price Action. Its the Pattern of what Price does / looks like and the best strategy for trading.

Sorry for this long post. I apologise. Please, my fellow brothers and sisters take this advice. I safely average about 20 wins daily. sometimes more, sometimes slightly less but usually within 3-5 hours. Trying to get several wins a day is not for everybody, you can take two or three trades and be done for the day. Wishing you all more greens and God's grace to make it.

P.S: Also, note that some patterns may work well for some currencies, not so well for some and abysmally for others e.g CHF, NZD pairs
Shalom

I can't call myself a guru o, not by a long shot. But...it gets better. By the way, the timing of some of my trades may be off, no be my fault na Binary. I'm not selling natin. Hmmm, i think its shows the time you refresh your profit page or something. I dont refresh after each trade so can't really say. Cheers y'all

So ur strategy is basically candlestick pattern similar to oga accentuate ' s bearish & bullish engulfing pattern?

How many high profile assassinations have we witnessed under this administration?

When you answer it, compare ur answer with that of past administrations.

this man is bold o! I just hope they won't level hiM soon.

Maybe he wouldve been leveled under Buhari, Abacha, Ibb, Obasanjo, etc.
