rusher14:
Both sets of soldiers are doing the right thing.

They both need orders from their respective commanding officers before standing down.

Military is about discipline.

1. Their commander in chief has already ordered all Gambian soldiers back into their barracks, with further orders to remain there.

2. Their immediate commander, Ansumana Tamba, left Gambia along with his boss, Jammeh. On the very same flight. These boys are being unruly and should be court martialed.

AntiWailer:
In a sovereign state ?

They should calm down.

They (ECOWAS troops) are acting on the orders of the president of that state, with the backing of the people.

only 2 and a half of these girls are anything like sexy

Ioannes:
OK maybe you're right. The guy should have obeyed to show humility.

But truth be told if it was you, you would feel bad too.

Not everybody is built to take public embarrassment.

And like I said, a simple tagging of chairs in the church will save everybody the stress.

Yep i would feel bad. I would be furious in fact, but i would suck it up and obey. This has happened to every regular church goer at some point, but i have also been privileged to have been an usher myself at some point so i know how hard dealing with people can be. Be nice to ushers... they don't make the policies.

Ioannes:
Abegi. All these your fake "churches" with special seats for special people. You mean to tell me someone will die if he didn't move away from that seat that Sunday?

So if I as a visitor come to your church for the first time, na so you go take embarrass me?

If you don't people to seat on particular seats, you tag the seats as special. That's standard and common practice where they use their heads.

Not talking about the church now, i'm talking about you. Doesn't matter what you feel they have done wrong, your own response betrays the log in your own eye.

You cant bring medication but you can bring cigarettes...strange world

...

u don't need to insult him, just let him no what he does not no.. he should have said Africa union (AU)

I didn't insult him. i asked him a question in the same tone he used when he spoke of ECOWAS.

Rashdimuh:
Your father is mentally ill, do I know you from anywhere?. This is a forum for intellects not mediocres like. You have corrected me instead of raining insult on me. Bro You lack home training,you have just succeeded in disgracing your family and tribe. APODA

lol... i admit i was kinda harsh. Just can't stand the types of you.

And i'm not your bro btw

Ioannes:
You handled it badly.

If it was me, I'd just simply smile and tell them I am protocol. Simple. Na my papa house.

But then again, maybe you should just stick to sitting at the back.

If you know your papa very well you would know that He values humility, and respect for those to whom respect is owed.

Ushers have actual job to do and they are only trying to do it well by asking you to sit in a certain place. Why make it unnecessarily hard by being disobedient for no reason?

The bible says rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft!

Reference:
Democracy is not an individual, it is a system of government, so it is not about Jammeh, but about the government and people of The Gambia. To this I commend the HOS's who were instrumental in the safe, uneventful transition of power. It is highly commendable and I hope it makes a model that could work in Cameroun, Zimbabwe and other totalitarian societies ruled by autocrats that they can go without fear of being hounded.

Those who had been and are still baring their fangs over Jammeh and the whole event and feeling even now that the ex-president should be hunted down and hung should know that the wisdom of of a safe transition far out weighs the loses a rocky, strife ridden putsch will have occured if force was the first resort. Popular wisdom says a bird at hand is worth a million in tne bush and the new man will have gained power seamlessly before baring his populist 'hang Jammeh' fangs which resulted in his exile and costly delay.

Thank goodness, cooler heads prevailed. He can always get Jammeh in due time and render the much anticipated justice he promised but he should not make the mistake our present government has made, chasing the past and destroying the future in return. He should first build institutions where there are none and repair those painted in human images to work for the people. It is his good deeds that will bring the greatest justice to the people traumatised by decades of misrule and it is his example of good governance that will grant him the ultimate authority to brign Jammeh to book in the future.

Gambia just dodged a bullet. And saved Nigeria a bucket load in cash and lives. While we sent arms, Mauritania sent emissiaries. So says the different thought processes and it is obvious from where the ideas come from seeing the peace in Mauritania relative to the chaos in Nigeria which hasn't brought justice to anyone since independence. We had no business there. We have nothing to teach them.....except our sad lesson.

I've stopped getting angry with people like you. Truth is, the average man cannot ordinarily understand or process the intrigues that take place at the highest levels of diplomacy, politics and government.

ECOWAS led by Nigeria flew into the Gambia twice to speak with Jammeh, to get him to hand over power in the constitutional way. This man refused and in fact, after their first visit he said and i quote "they can go to hell". You will find the video on youtube. Throughout the intervention process, Guinee Conakry and Mauritania never joined the mediation team. In fact, Guinee Conakry's alpha Conde remains the sole African or World leader who outright rejected calls for Jammeh to step down. I cna tell yu categorically, that any solution that did not include the barrel of a gun would never have ousted Jammeh form power. How do i know this? Because the very same deal which is being bandied about as the final offer from ECOWAS, is precisely what was offered t him before, along with such additional benefits as the privilege of staying in his hometown of Kanilai.

Why is it that the presidents of these two countries, who are his friends by the way, never flew in to talk to him until the ECOWAS troops had entered the Gambia? What was their motive? To secure peace or to protect the man?

What you should know is that up until Saturday night, Jammeh was still making more demands until President Barrow, through his spokesperson issued a warning that he would not be allowed to sleep in the Gambia that night. That was the only reason he got on a plane to leave yesterday.

So while you may take your great nation for granted, and despise and abuse her officers, Nigeria and the other ECOWAS nations have done the Gambia an undeniable service that will no doubt be much more appreciated in the future.

Is this not the second time within 6 months that someone bearing or strongly associated with this title in Malaysia has died? What a coincidence...

PigMeat:
If nigeria was a working country as before, we don't need those huge concentration of ECOWAS forces at Gambia, Nigerian Govt alone can send forces there to bring that man to Nigeria and keep him here like we did to the "almighty" charles tailor. Nigeria is a dead Nation, notice how her name is not boldly mentioned in all the affairs partaining the evacuation of jameh and replacement of barrow. The tiny senegallese nation has been mentioned in every given opportunity.

And why would Nigeria from thousands of miles away, need to do that when Senegal from next door can do the same job? Besides Nigeria is the only West African Nation who sent a warship and fighter jets. Do you know why? Because Nigeria is the only West African nation who has them.

Rashdimuh:
Ecowas is a joke they are bunch of hypocrites. They should also force mugabe to relinquish power.

Are you mentally okay? Is Zimbabwe a part of ECOWAS?

legally speaking this notice has no implications. If something happens as a result of their negligence you can still go ahead and sue them unless they take steps to ensure that you actually read that notice.

I believe this could be what Paul described as fighting as one beating the air... what is the goal here??

This doesn't look like the presidential residence... doesn't even look like Banjul. Hmmm

Insightz:
Bros ehh? Na so I see am too ooh. Nigeria was great ooh.

There was time our currency was almost at par with the pound. T

here was a time you could travel from one part of Nigeria to another by road without armed robbers

There was a time Nigerians got scholarships from the federal govt to study abroad based on merit.

There was time we focused on national production instead of pure importation

There was time when international investors loved nigeria

etc, etc

Hmmm... okay

Insightz:
No need to turn everything into tribal wars. Lets make Nigeria great again

na so plagiarism take dey start

Btw, was Nigeria "great" before?

nice speech

This is a surprising lapse in security!!

Civilians should never be allowed near such vehicles

seguno2:
Thanks.
It seems like they are using our dresses as pyjamas yet some colo mental people are excited?
SMH!!!

So as short as the opening write-up was you didn't even bother to glance at it?

adonbilivit:
so what? why do we always feel inferior? we rock coat/suit but the whites don't fuss about it. nawa o.

if you read my post and the urge to slam me doesn't crop up within you, then you are one of the few exceptional Nigerians

facepalm.

1. Who made you the judge and decider of which Nigerian is exceptional or not?
2. The reason this pic is notable is really very simple. a) we wear their clothes but they don't wear ours so when one of them wears ours it is noticeable. b) it moves from noticeable to notable simple because of the particular person who is wearing it: the British high commissioner to Nigeria. In his position, it is no longer a fashion statement but a communique of good will and respect towards the Nigerian people from the British High Commissioner, creating the necessary atmosphere for close relations between the two nations.

3. Extreme nationalism is a form of inferiority complex.

Alondra:
Sadly there is no law against male rape.

Is that a fact??

depends on how ugly she is

lepasharon:
Remove religion

On the contrary. What we need is genuine religion that would bring forth morality in the hearts of those who practice it. The great societies of today were all built on the back of principles which were rooted in religious belief: hard work, justice, responsibility, accountability and the fear of God.

It is obvious today, that the vast spectrum of Nigerian of Nigerian society lacks morality in day to day life. From little things such as eating some gala and throwing the wrapper on the road, driving on the wrong lane, refusing to pay taxes, using illegal electricity connections, etc, to internet and other types of fraud, money laundering, round tripping in the fx market, to full blown misappropriation of funds and institutional corruption, nepotism and etc.

It is not our leaders who have an exclusive morality problem, it is our society, and the only proven solution to this is genuine religion.


Our second problem is entrenched tribalism which is the root cause of the resource control conflict, which is at the heart of corruption and nepotism in Government. The simple solution to this is true federalism.

hemmaoshos:
Look like America Action movie where war jet bomb a particular wall for their people to gain access and attack the left over.. Bubu opened the road for boko boys and say it is a mistake.. LMAO..God Help Us.

Common sense is not uncommon as people like to say, rather being sensible is merely optional.

So you believe that the Nigerian Airforce bombed Nigerian Army positions to enable the boko haram fighters overpower the Army and gain access to the IDP's? Or aht are you trying to say?

You must have been a very bright child.

idupaul:
When I said the bombing was not an accident but a deliberate attempt to wipe out a camp filled with North Eastern christian minorities some people here called me an alarmist

Right. So the airforce bombed the camp to make way for boko haram but then the army spent hours repelling them?

Get the story straight, which is which?

ovadozes:
Boko haram remains technically defeated....Lai Mohammed 2015
The ones they couldn't kill by bombing they sent their boko boys to finish off.

Oh, but don't forget that according to PDP GEJ virtually annihilated boko haram before handing over.

111jideofor:
FACT:
More unarmed protesters have been killed in Buhari's 20months rule compared to Jammeh's 22 years in power.

FACT 1:
You could not even hold the most peaceful of protests in Jammeh's Gambia. He was so feared that in 22 years there was only one protest, before 2016, and in that protest, unarmed secondary school students protesting the rape of a teenage girl by a paramilitary officer, and the torture-to-death of a secondary school boy were fired upon by armed police officers.

FACT 2:
In the aftermath of this protest, Gambia's National Assembly passed a law that provides indemnity for security officers for acts committed in times of unrest. This means that if you come out to protest and an officer opens fire on you, nothing will be done to him.

ayusco85:
If the Gambian military said they won't fight African Union forces sent to remove gbagbo sorry jammeh, so why the hell did we waste money to send out troops and military equipments to Senegal enroute Gambia?
Some people explain to me because..........

AYAM NOT UNDERSTANDING

Common sense can help you here sir.

It's simple. He said they would not fight ECOWAS Forces, which means if ECOWAS forces do not come, they would stand their ground. Its a very simple equation!

of course its medical.

ruggedtimi:
What language are they speaking... Sounds like the HD Version of ib*bio

That's senegalese wollof...

What they are saying sounds like: "hey you guys see what is coming for Jammeh"
