Y'all really should stop quoting entire lengthy article lol

Thanks for sharing this , just woke up and that was what i saw, so it was refreshing

Fynline:
NA in Scotland

What's a fulani herdsmen? Did the kidnappers have herds of cattle or something or this has taken on an ethnicity of its own , speaking a certain language doesn't mean they all have same occupation, no? I call them kidnappers
just wondering out loud

Toju200:
From the language they spoke, they are pure Fulani herdsmen no doubt about it, I wouldn’t want to go further than that.

That was a stupid thing to say

Tinfoil:
I think Nigeria probably does not need any marketing, with them having perfected corruption and other vices to an art form it wouldn’t be hard for them to convince or coerce other African countries to buy. I foresee special offers like 1 for the price of 2, two for nine,...

Sure, it's all about smart marketing strategy, they have to go to those countries and show them what they have to offer

Tinfoil:
It would be good if other African countires would buy from them instead of us, china, russia,....

I admire your optimism, perhaps in another generation Funny thing about catching up, those you wanna catch up with won't be stagnant, they are investing heavily in future generations etc , by the time you get to where they are now, they are already way ahead, if we truly want to even make an attempt, fix the population first, that is, massive investment in education, recruitment of brilliant minds once they graduate, infrastructure etc, bank loans with repayment period that's longer than 2 weeks with insane interest rate, it's a long road my friend, especially in a country like ours being led by people who aren't serious, wouldn't hold my breath, but anything is possible sha, in 200yrs

Toju200:
I thank God for giving Nigeria a company like this....At least we will soon catch up with the Big boys.....!!!!!!!

Hahaha, i know right? All i did as watch for days how these guys (everyone involved) almost ran the thread to the ground, i didn't take sides

GeneralFarouq:
Wow, wow wow... Whota did sizzorkay do? lol

I chased who away? Think you quoted me by mistake?
People are free to air their opinion, an overkill is what's irriating, nothing new in what anyone here is saying, we've all said thesame, why go on and on about it thereby ruining the thread? What does that achieve, both sides were throwing insult pages back, wasn't one sided, a little rant is fine, using 10 pages for it is madness, enough already

Chelseafan99:
You chased SSBM away already, you gonna so the same to these guys? Cmon men, why can't we agree to disagree sometimes. This is a defence thread and there is no point clamping down on people saying the truth. I don't get you guys here sometimes. Do you all just want to dwell in la la land forever? Criticizing the govt approach to our security is not a bad thing. You pepple really need to stop and allow people air their views. Please. I'm begging. We learn everyday.

Can't we discuss on these threads without biting off each other's head ,
take a chill pill people, carry on Bidexiii, i came here for pictures

Except those countries, the US included, do not have the money either, all are borrowed, that's a fact.
Every single developed country out there is drowning in debt, Nigeria's debt is pretty low compared, so it's all about having the stomach for accumulating debt, difference is, those countries use the money for good, the fear with Nigeria is, where will that borrowed money land.
US is owing over 18 trillion dollars in debt, think about that amount for a moment , tiny Israel is owing over 88 billion, so yea, if we can do the same, we will have all the toys we need

lol, these people gotta get their priorities straight, the military shouldn't be wasting scare resource on a freaking gulf course

CIA factbook my rear.
2018 budget was 25 Billion dollars and change

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari signed the country’s budget of 9.12 trillion naira today on Wednesday.

The spending plan was approved by the two chambers of the National Assembly and was passed to the presidency on May 16, 2018

jln115:

Do not become what you are trying to eliminate.
(Pre- Boko Haram)forcing unarmed men to lay on the road side and executing them in broad day light is not how any Nation should function, killing a suspected militant leader while in police custody while handcuffed is pure murder and should have never happened.
So if some of you guys think it's okay for the Govt to ignore court orders and execute people in broad day light while unarmed and posing no threat, then the country deserve the resulting chaos of such actions . Why even pretend to be democratic

might wanna quote the right person next time

jarell:
Algerians ain't Arabs

any aggresive arab in the house raise your hand lol

EVarn:
It was painful for us indeed, Algeria made history by defeating us for the first time ever in AFCON,you guys once again displayed your aggressive arab instincts on the pitch. We both did well,but your country was lucky.

Nice game all round.Goodluck on the finals.

Haha, oh man, more like some serious E-gathering lol.
Ashe gare lol

Odunayaw:
Gather round o ye people. Let's make prayers

Ara, you will trample on bokos skulls. (let me be hearing your Ashe and Amen please guys)
Ara, you will not carry the dead body of any soldier (Ashe)
Ara, you will not fall in the hands of satanic thugs (Ashe)

Why compare? Don't go there, no need for all that? Jeez man, about to start another meltdown on here with all that.
Let's celebrate what we've done and leave others to theirs.

MiddleDimension:
it looks strong! solid Nigerian Engineering!

compare this to the south African, please.

No sh!t Henry, that was a beauty, damn. I was literally not expecting that lol, That looks good

It's called R&D for a reason.... That's how other countries acquire their skills and products, we can do same, except it might be cheaper to collaborate than go it alone

Sad, but dude should have stopped at the checkpoint if what I read is true. This is where confusion happens, no reason why CJTF should operate anywhere without military or police personnel present, they aren't Govt officials and should have zero power over civilians.
All these could have been a simple confusion, perhaps dead guy took them for BHT, and they took him for same, oh well

Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - More than 2,000 people protested Sunday in the northern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, calling for a ban on the anti-Boko Haram CJTF militia they accuse of abuses after the killing of a rickshaw driver.

Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - More than 2,000 people protested Sunday in the northern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, calling for a ban on the anti-Boko Haram CJTF militia they accuse of abuses after the killing of a rickshaw driver.

The protesters blocked major roads in the Suleimanti area of the city and set fires, causing chaos despite pleas from police and military officers, an AFP reporter at the scene saw.

"We want the CJTF to be banned from the city because of the abuses we suffer in their hands," said Suleimanti resident Bukar Saleh.

"They have become a law unto themselves and are treating us badly. And now they have started killing us," Saleh said.

The CJTF militia tried to stop the demonstration, attacking protesters with batons and arresting scores of them.

The protest erupted hours after a rickshaw driver was shot dead near a militia checkpoint.

"The victim was a known resident and his name was Modu but the CJTF just shot him for no reason," Saleh said.

The CJTF insisted however that the victim was shot for failing to stop at a checkpoint during nighttime curfew hours.

The militia have intensified night patrols in the area in recent days following incursions by the jihadists, he said.

"The driver's refusal to stop raised the suspicion of our men and one of them took him down, because they believed he was a Boko Haram terrorist on a mission," Babakura Abba-Ali, the CJTF head in Suleimanti area, said.

The militia man was handed over to the police for investigation, Abba-Ali added.

The CJTF emerged in 2013 as a vigilante group in response to Boko Haram's deadly attacks in Maiduguri.

Young men and women mobilised and started going door-to-door hacking to death known Boko Haram members and forcing the jihadists to flee the city.

The vigilantes were later organised into a militia force and embedded with the military to fight the jihadist group.

Late Saturday, Boko Haram jihadists killed four people and looted food supplies when they raided Gamurari village, some 90 kilometres (60 miles) from Maiduguri, militia and residents said.

The decade-long Boko Haram conflict has killed at least 27,000 people and forced some two million to flee their homes in Nigeria alone.

The violence has spilled into neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, prompting a regional military response to fight the jihadist group

I don't wanna get into an argument, but you missed the boat on the point i was trying to make.
I'm saying this has happened, not the first time, won't be the last, BH released propaganda video and that upset you? What do you think happens when own troops are overran and we hear about their deaths? That doesn't upset you? But a propaganda video does?
I guess BH got their point across then.
Why would i be okay with our troops dying, I'm saying don't fall for BH props.
Every death is painful, but unless i can change things from where i am, i don't see the point of getting high blood pressure over it.
And to compare foreign troops dying in a country their countrymen and women didn't know they were deployed in is weird.
We don't have much outrage in Nigeria because the media houses sucks, if those journalists do more, there will be outrage.
If the Citizens aren't well informed, well

ugo4u:
This is part of the reason why this war will never end. Everyone is now used to hearing about military base being attached and no serious questions are asked, or people incharge made to answer questions. Our soldiers have become mere statistics, four well equipped American servicemen died last year in an ambush in Mali the outrage allover America was overwhelming even in Nigeria but our own ill-equipped men die with reckless abandon due to many corruption and we are ok with it because it is nothing new.
Go to 44 hospital and hear the irritating and gory depiction of hardship at the fronts. Yes we're all living in self denial if we simply dismiss the happenings in the NE, you might not feel the pain till you loose a brother, friend or relation.

What does denial gotta do with it, had to delete my previous comment about this, so BHT released propaganda video, what else is new? We all know we've taken loses and lost battles. Jeez

I don't get that

Boko Haram Attacks Borno Again: Three Terrorists Killed, Two Soldiers Wounded

According to the security source both the attackers and troops recorded casualties, although troops killed three terrorist members and seized one of their utility vehicle and motorcycles belong to the attackers.
At least seven people were killed including three terrorists while two soldiers sustained varying degrees of injuries when Boko Haram terrorist clashed with troops in Borno state Monday night, a security source said.

The attack happened in Mafa headquarters, Mafa local government area of Borno state around 1830hrs on Monday evening, killing a soldier and destroying many houses.

According to the security source both the attackers and troops recorded casualties, although the troops killed three terrorists and seized one of their utility vehicles and motorcycles.

"The troops response swiftly to the attackers, when attacking our troops in Mafa yesterday, they suffered some causality three bodies of attackers found and many of them fled with gun wounds. One Hilux van and two motorcycles were recovered by the troops.

"Unfortunately three civilians and a soldier lost their lives and two soldiers were seriously wounded in the attacks. Two trucks belong troops was by the attackers," the source said.

Similarly, there was another attack at Kareto in Mobar local government area of the state, the gallant troops successfully repelled the attacks.

Did you actually read the press release? The military just made clear they have presence around that forest and fly helicopters there etc. So your idea is, a foreign Govt have their own heli in the same environment where the Nigerian military is operating out of? How does that make sense?
They gave a clear explanation for the helicopters people were seeing, as theirs.

Litmus:
Military should not be too hasty in refuting these allegations; at least, not allegations of aircrafts dropping weapons. Such aircraft does not have to be Nigerian military aircraft just ones disguised to look as if Nigerian, which is what you`d do if you were acting clandestinely in Nigerian territory. Hope Military is conducting investigations and not just dismissing the claims from afar as ludicrous because of same. If West is behind much of these insecurity issues this is just the type of things they would get up to.
