Silly goat

Which one be big english to you? I was born and raised in that same Nigeria dude.
Use your common sense, so your solution is to hand over guns to every civilian in Nigeria? Who in their right mind would think this would end well? haha. Good luck with that. Go for it

Salatavor:
Even the police are they not acting as vigilantes. How many extra judicial killings do we record every year from citizens compared to police? In terms of community policing who is always the first responders Nigerian police or local vigilantes.

If not for local vigilantes do we have an even tiny shred of rural policing? Why are people in the villages complaining about herds men and the police claims there is nothing like that going on? Because simply the police are not in these villages and these villagers are resorting to self help...

You guys here self just speak big English you people do not even have a clue as to what is really going on in Nigeria...

Iran already made clear they didn't launch the attack to cause mass casualties.
And Iraq was warned before hand i believe, the US military was also aware that the strike was coming, young military officers were placed in bunker, to preserve the future of their service, about 1k troops were evacuated before the attack. so yea they knew it was coming.
I read this yesterday from the interview the dude in charge of the troops gave

Really? civilians will self police in Nigeria, while armed? Are you Nigerian? haha, lord have mercy, you have simple vigilantes, they are busy abusing civilians, now imagine a country where people are burned to death for suspicion of theft, now armed and self policing themselves, haha.
How many rapes and murders do you think will happen within the first week? Not to talk of armed robberies quadrupling.
Even the USA that's far ahead of us in civility, will never dare do such, and that's a country that has the right to bear arms in its constitution.
Unless that country is in Europe somewhere with less than 7 million people, forget this nonsense.
Nigeria isn't nowhere mature enough for what you are talking about, you are about to have some badland scenario playing out if that is ever allowed.

Valkrie:
If many soldiers resigned..nobody would suffer..we would simply pick up arms and take charge of our own security...All over the world in war once soldiers are overwhelmed it is the civilians that patch up...do some some war research...cos a man is a civilian doesn't mean he is useless when the time for war comes...

Isn't this just common sense? It's not by force, true, but these were people who chose to lay down their lives for the rest of humanity.
And someone is saying they do not deserve a thank you? That's beyond madness.
These guys are doing what majority of us wouldn't wanna do

Ddream6627:
did you have to abuse him before you make your points,beside he has a point stop being sentimental..no be by force make you serve your fatherland

I beg who are those in the pictures? Some of those old dudes in the pics are secondary school students?
But good news

JUST IN: Kidnapped Kagara Students Regain Freedom 10 Days After
The kidnapped staff and students of Government Science College Kagara have finally regained freedom from the armed bandits in Niger State.
A top police officer involved in the counter-kidnapping operation in the State told PRNigeria on Saturday morning.
PRNigeria had reported the abduction of the boarding students by the bandits who were dressed in military uniforms on February 17, 2021.
A total of 27 students, three staff members and 12 members of their family were abducted after the attack on the Kagara school in the early hours of Wednesday.

You do understand they can do more than one things at once right?
It's like saying students are kidnaped, so let's move every single police officer within the country and dispatch them to look for the kidnapped victims, while other ongoing crimes are ignored.
Is that what you are saying? I hope not.

tutudesz:
Do I even have sense Serioiously you were looking for who to insult and unfortunately you ended up making a fool of yourself.
So the priority of Buhari, Army chief and DSS Dg was to arrest Sunday yesterday The same day almost 600 girls were kidnappers

Again, that won't stand up to scrutiny in court, you can not impede people's right to travel around their own country.
Focus on those committing crimes, not have some blanket restrictions on people's movement.

tutudesz:
If your movement will result to lost of lives and properties, Government has the right to stop such movement.
How do you disarm a group of persons who feel they are above the law

No government should have the right to tell people they do not have freedom of movement within their own country.
Their trade should be regulated, and that about does it. And of course they must be disarmed

tutudesz:
What are house of assembly members doing about it Can't they make a law that make it difficult for herdsmen to move about freely But if na to make life pension law, you see Happy

These terrorists dey hear am, no be small

France, West Africa Step up Counterterrorism Efforts

PARIS (AP) — Leaders from five West African nations and France agreed Tuesday to step up the fight against Islamic extremists in the Sahel region by

deploying a new battalion from Chad, maintaining a strong French military presence and gradually building up a European task force.

The leaders of Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger and Mauritania, in a final statement from their two-day summit in N’Djamena, Chad, hailed progress over the past year that they said had made the implementation of a clear military strategy possible.

French President Emmanuel Macron, European officials and the heads of international organizations also attended the summit via videoconference.

Speaking from Paris, Macron said he would maintain the number of French troops operating in the region at their current level at least until summer. The remark is an apparent reversal from previous statements Macron made in which he suggested that he favored a gradual reduction of troop levels.

“I think that precipitating a French withdrawal or willing to massively withdraw soldiers - which is an option I studied - would be a mistake,” he said during a news conference. “This is the result of a discussion I had with each (Sahelian) leader.”

France has about 5,100 troops deployed in the five West African countries, making it the country’s largest military operation abroad.

“We must not release pressure on terrorist groups,” Macron said during Tuesday’s meeting.

Macron said military operations should stay focused on the region bordering Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso - the epicenter of the fight against jihadist groups.

The military will also this year “try to cut off the head” of al-Qaida-linked groups known as JNIM and the Macina Liberation Front, he said.

President Idris Deby of Chad said his country would send 1,200 troops to the tri-border region between Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.

Chad has said in the past that it would deploy soldiers to the region but did not.

The leaders who attended the summit also vowed to further strengthen a regional force known as the G5 Sahel force that was launched in 2017. It is made up of soldiers from Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger and Mauritania who operate in cooperation with French troops.

African and European officials called for long-term international financing of G5 Sahel. Macron said the force needs 40 million euros ($48.5 million) per year to stay operational.

Burkina Faso is one of the hardest-hit countries in the region, with more than 1 million displaced people as a result of the violence. Civilians there civilians have lauded military gains made last year, pointing to how some people have started returning to the villages from which they were chased.

“This was unexpected a year ago,” Armand Joseph Kabore, director of Labo Citoyennetes, a think tank in Burkina Faso told The Associated Press.

Kabore said that while he appreciates international assistance, he thinks it’s time for African countries to find solutions and to be responsible for their own security.

“In order to stop being eternally assisted, we have to grow up. Even a child who is born into the world must at some point be able to fly on his own,” he said.

If France does reduce its troop commitment in the future, the region would have to find a solution to compensate its absence, Kabore noted.

”(The G5 Sahel) force has to be more present, more of a deterrent, and capable of efficiently opposing forces of evil,” he said.

Other Sahel analysts don’t think the region is ready to go it alone.

“The progress of the G5-Sahel is quite slow. We thought that right after the creation of this organization it would achieve concrete objectives, like strengthening the Sahel countries’ armies' capacity to face terrorism," Siaka Coulibaly, an analyst with the Center for Public Policy Monitoring by Citizens in Burkina Faso, said. "On this exact point, we realized that the countries aren’t really satisfactory.”

To the aggrieved and those who love posting bad news on here, is there a reason why you need to crash this thread to do it? I mean, open your own, i get it the audience is here, but that audience was built and maintained for a purpose, which was what this thread was created for, stop being a nuisance and take your stories elsewhere. Act like adults for one damn second in your lives.
No one here is blind to the ills of Nigeria or the atrocities going on there, if you need someone's attention, contact those who have the ability to respond to your concerns, and stop fvking up this thread.

BabaOwen... Operator of "Bad News Network". He never rest with his utter rubbish

Hahahaha, i just spilled my coffee lol.
oh man. people go kill person for this thread lol

Educate your people, invest in them.
And accountability matters ( For everyone), professionalism, etc
Laws that are actually being enforced.
Here in the USA if you are walking on the street while holding a cup with alcohol in it, you will get arrested, cops don't listen to "I'm sorry" here, once you break the law, they go after you.
But in Nigeria, most people don't even know what their rights are or what laws are in place. Shoot, the issues of that country is of high magnitude that in other to have that change we need, there must be continuity, not something one man or president can do, it has to be a decades long process.
Here in the USA, the people are tamed, by the police, they are everywhere, it's the opposite in Nigeria. If you have a huge population, you need strong laws and those who will enforce them

Salatavor:
I don't care much about tribalism... I am more concerned about the loss of lives and property... How do we stop this? How do we build a nation where human life is of the highest value...

All you tribal lunatics ruining this thread should take your garbage arguments elsewhere. Jeez

Yet in one developed country i know and live in (USA), you can fly in and out without a darn covid test or temp check. But here you are blasting Nigeria.
And there is no way that person died of covid, for someone to be walking around without showing severe symptoms of covid and then die a few hours later? This virus doesn't work that way, it's not a damn heart attack.
To get to the point of dying, he wouldn't even have made it to the airport, he'd be sick in bed, struggling to breathe etc, before dying. You don't catch covid today and then die same day. Stop peddling rubbish stories

BabaOwen:
We need to start taking things serious in Nigeria. A foolish mistake by Nigerian airport officials don dey cause problem for us. A Nigerian wanted to travel to Canada, he did a Covid-19 test in the airport. Can you believe the man was let go before the result of the test was released

The man died few hours after getting to Canada.

Now before you go fit enter Dubai from Nigeria, nah the airlines go do Covid-19 test for you and is going to be a direct fly to the UAE from Nigeria.

Who in their right mind in 2021 is still talking about JUJU? really? That's such a daft concept, stand in front of a machine gun and show me how your juju will save you from being killed. Such a silly mentality .

How about you stop giving idiots underserved attention. They post these things to rile people up and get responses, if no one respond to them, they will disappear. Stop replying to their useless posts.
Your fate isn't in his hands, nothing will happen to you

Stormtrooper11:
See,you can say what you wanna say. But just know if shit happens to me,my spirit no go let you rest

Did i sound serious? Can't tell that was a joke?

marvin906:
Are you serious

I know, it uses kerosene

jln115:
the Gripen cost only $2000 per hour ...

So your idea is to have them land and take off on bad terrain 24/7? Just because it could handle such terrain doesn't mean it could handle it on a daily basis, it will eventually have issues.
So in an emergency situation sure, there is a difference btw an occasional event and a constant one

Abohboy:
I thought the super tucano was made for any terrain including dirt and stone

Imagine that. in 2020. that's sad

BabaOwen:
Is still happening.

I see more whippings against civilians by these so called hunters. I remember long time ago when vigilante groups would whip people just for heading home late at night. In what reality should that be happening. Rubbish. Train, and equip the police, jeez

https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/hunters-council-bill-scales-second-reading-in-senate/

The Hunter’s Council of Nigeria Bill scaled second reading at the Nigerian Senate on Tuesday.

The bill is in an effort to legalise the activities of various hunters’ groups in the country.

The Bill titled “The Nigerian Hunter’s Council of Nigeria Bill, 2020” was sponsored by Senator Biodun Olujimi (Ekiti South).

Olujimi, while speaking to reporters on Tuesday, in Abuja, noted that the law, when passed, would enable hunters to provide community policing, maintain law and order and offer community service to citizens.

That's where you are wrong, those North African countries arm up because some of them harbor ill will towards one another, in other words, none of them want to be left behind and get invaded.
If they had been our neighbors, Nigeria would have organized her defenses and Military apparatus accordingly and we certainly won't be in this position (militarily speaking), we'd arm up a long time ago and try to match whatever advancement or procurements they made.

FoolaniBandit:
I have some vintage Newsmagazines and Papers. Here is an edition of African Concord, dated February 1987.

The leading story is about Equatorial Guinea's hostile posturing against Nigeria. It was published that Equatorial Guinean soldiers shot and killed Ninety Five Nigerians and deported Thirty two thousand Nigerian immigrant. Apartheid South Africa also established military bases in Malabo for a potential incursion into Nigeria.

Ibrahim Babangida, the former Head of State of Nigeria, would later initiate a rapprochement with that country, and a detente was subsequently reached.

Today, with our parlous defence architecture, frightening state of insecurity, and faltering political leadership, can Nigeria withstand any external aggression? I reckon that we are fortunate to have relatively weak neighbours. If ambitious and bellicose countries like Gaddafi's era Libya, Sudan, Egypt etc are the ones that share border with us, we will be licking our wounds all over by now.

When men have 12 virgins waiting for them in some unseen paradise, they do silly things lol.
Determination indeed
