People wey you dey talk to no dey see all this ones. The only colour dey recognise is Christian vs Muslims. APC supporters vs average Nigerians. Simple.

The people you refer to here see this as a step that could push Govt to take necessary action to end killing of Nigerians on a daily basis, only you and Oasis see this as a religious or political thing. Obviously you don't care about the killings, just concerned about how it affect Tinubu...

OasisX:
......valid 100%.

Oh it is valid point now abi, but you were accusing other who said same thing of supporting Trump to remove Tinubu...

raumdeuter:
If your house is under attack, your village is being ravaged by killers. You will take any help at that instant not caring where the help is coming from or what name they call you

Call Nigeria a disgraced country, a shithole, fantastically corrupt or the help is coming from aliens or space forces or witches.

Anything that will stop the blatant killings in Nigeria is welcome

OasisX Dayo also want Trump to invade Abuja and remove Tinubu....

abduleez1:
If my opinion has any significance to you that is.... Here's what I'd do:

A massive reorganization of the army and it's hierarchy is needed. And a massive retraining of the top generals and junior officers of modern day Counter terrorism operations.

The public also needs to be factored in and embraced into this. Nigerians needs to be equally cooperative and report suspected sightings and gatherings of bandits, terr0r!sts and co, irrespective of ethno-religious relations.
Some of these £v!l are usually allowed to be perpetuated by people refusing to speak out when their fellow ethnic person is doing crimes or doesn't affect them.


I have this opinion that something is seriously wrong with the Nigerian Army. Unlike the Nigerian Airforce and Navy who seem to be doing well and making headway. NA is just different in being backwards.

Serious lack of the appropriate equipment and poorer welfare to their soldiers compared to NN & NAF. This needs to be addressed because it's only a motivated soldier that would be really willing to fight and risk his life for his country. When morale is low you'd continue to see the show of shame and incompetence that happened earlier this year where bases where overrun by terrorists.

I updated myself middle of this year regarding Nigerian military operations and was shaking my head with the repeated mistakes base commanders made regarding base protection. Several bases across the north attacked and some overrun with weapons carted away and soldiers k!lled. It's even embarrassing when you learn that some bases where attacked with improvised drones dropping mortars on defense points.

So this is where drones comes in.
NA already employs drones well enough now but I don't think in an organic level that is required.

The elites in the NA mostly seem to believe in the bigger drone platforms — the million dollar platforms, the MALEs (Medium Altitude Long Endurance) drones and overlook the impact of even small strategic battlespace drones even for reconnaissance. Every base should have at least 2 drones inspecting their various sectors at all times especially at night armed with night vision electro optics to provide a sense of security so they aren't surprised by ambushes and even see them long before it happens and prepare and wait for them or launch counter offensives.
Every significant fighting regiment or platoon should also have drones for monitoring their environment while in convoys or on the move.

NA needs an airwing of its own. Almost as big as the NAF but mostly focused on drones and attack/assault helicopters.

Most importantly, our border issue needs to be addressed. I'm in support of closing our northern borders. How? By digging big trenches around our borders or building border walls. And manning them with personnel as well as massive drone monitoring and sensors for tracking.

I'm not in support of this notion Northerners hold of our Northern neighbours being their brothers and all sorts. I don't believe in the practice of having immigrants from other countries freely moving across our borders without checks. More especially when it involves unstable countries with strong jihadist presence.

Then there's this issue of chronic poverty in the North. I'm sorry to say if this kind of poverty remains and even worsens as it is there's nothing anybody can do to stop this massive insecurity. Even almighty US won't be able to do jackshit and would just flee like they did in Afghanistan when they get tired.

Terrorism or counter-terrorism these days isn't really about weapons and stuff tho.... It's more an ideological battle than the physical bombs and manifestations you see.
How do you solve this? Improving the human capital development index of the region and the country and massive emphasis and investment in education. Not all those Madrasat or islamic scholar style of teaching the north encourages (which helps spread extremism since they're not regulated). Or is it Almajiri they call those stuffs.

You first have to have a battle of their thinking and mentality before you say you want to start fighting them physically.
Cos as long as there's the incentives to join islamic extremism... there'd be no shortage of foot soldiers. Sponsors needs to be pursued, ethno-religious sympathy needs to be squashed. Breeding grounds for terrorism that poverty and lack of education breeds needs to be wiped off or reduced to the barest minimum.
If not....na soldier go, soldier come. That's why we've been fighting the same terrorist elements for decades.

And we need to stop this useless practice of releasing "repentant" never-do-wells back to society. Left to me, it's summarily exécút!0n for all terrorists caught. Only women and children might face milder penalties.

These are just the few ones I can type cos it's very long. Most of this even the Army are aware of and the authorities.

There's many things to be done but all this is for nothing if there is no political will. Because I feel, political will is the issue here. And when there's no will all you'll be doing is treating the symptoms instead of focusing on the root cause. You'll keep buying and seeing weapons and multirole ground jets commissioned all the time without much impact.

Nice 👍, looks like a Chatgpt write up which is ok. Do you think our Govt and Federal and State level are serious about ending the daily killing of Nigerians?

abduleez1:
Everyday Nigerians showing a propensity to be gullible when it comes to International Affairs will never cease to be funny to me.
So, person for this day and age believe say Trump go come guns-a-blazing to Nigeria to stop the injustice meted out to Christians.

This is merely chest-beating. Not that Trump/America is incapable of such but of what significant interests or benefits does such endeavour help the US? They don't give two shïts about Nigeria. We aren't that important and he emphasised how "disgraced" a country we are.

This is just another PR stunt from the Orange Man to steer prying eyes and critics from his failings with the Ukraine vs Russia situation, China vs US failings, and now his latest mixed results with India.

Dude is merely choosing a battle he knows he can easily win and spin for his PR. Dude needs a win after so much Ls he's received in the International Community recently. And what perfect candidate would it be than for a "sh!t-h0le country" that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things and who would go down very much easily without a fight.
Even the Iranians are a worthy adversary compared to this disgrace. So easy PR win. Enough to keep M.A.G.A motivated and fighting for upcoming battles.

People for here go think say he truly sympathise with the victims of this incompetent govt.
Make I dey observe.

What do you propose as solution to stop the daily killing of Nigerians by Govt pampered terrorist?

OasisX:
......just in 2yrs, PBAT has equipped our Military with the followings,

Nigerian Air Force

T-129 ATAK attack helicopters (Turkey)

Bell UH-1H “Huey” helicopters (USA origin)

AgustaWestland / Leonardo AW-109 helicopters (Italy)

Leonardo M-346 light combat/trainer jets (Italy)

Ammunition and weapons systems for T-129 fleet (Turkey)

U.S. precision-guided munitions and rockets (pending sale approval)


Nigerian Navy

NNS Ikogosi (Offshore Patrol Vessel)

NNS Faro (Coastal Patrol Vessel)

NNS Shere (Fast Patrol Boat)

Additional patrol craft and gunboats (locally built and imported)


Nigerian Army

Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs)

Bullet-proof vests and helmets.

Surveillance drones.

Light tactical vehicles.

New trucks.

Ammunition and small arms from domestic and foreign sources.

Nigerians are killed by terrorist almost on a daily basis, Kwara State was under regular attack but your President did nothing nor even said anything about the killing. A little coup rumour (or maybe true) and he quickly sack Service Chiefs, shows he doesn't care about the people but himself...

Jamiuokolaa:
The only reservation I had against the purchase of Osihmen was his purported attitude issues and how he would fit in under Amorim who is also stubborn.

Since we didnt see anything wrong with Cunha despite his "dramatic" history, we should also have gone all out for our Nigerian Brother as #9. Also, i feel Osihmen is mentally stronger and would probably manage pressure more effectively.

Maybe we didn't want to have too many African players on our books because of AFCON lool

Sesko's linkup play looks pretty decent but I think he needs to be more lethal upfront as a genuine goalscoring threat...like you pointed out

Osinmeh wanted CL football and Chelshit was is preferred Club...

Ellexy:
Okay na...

Make Tinubu and others in Govt continue to watch Nigerians murdered daily nah. Whether America has agenda or not, seeing the end of terrorism in Nigeria is all i longed for. All those weyre shouting Nigeria is a Sovereign Nation on Twitter should better prepare to carry gun and defend it...

Amoto94:
Be careful of what you wished for, so many in the past have welcomed interventionism only to end up regretting ever supporting the said intervention after witnessing the aftermath

Where did i mention intervention? What has the people in Govt done to stop this killings? Should i Start saying killer Herdsmen, bandits, BH and unknown Gunmen should kill politicians and their families to force the Govt to do the needful? Govt at the Federal and State level have been acting like the killings are nothing because they are not personally affected, maybe pressure from Foreign Leader will push them to start protecting Nigerians...

izzou:
Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it

So what happened to those who burnt Deborah to ashes?

A President that refused to visit Benue until the outcry was loud, went to the capital to do carnival rather than the affected communities to mourn with the victims families. I want more foreign Leaders to talk about the daily killings of Nigerians maybe the useless people in Govt will start doing the needful....

The system is not good because of lack of proper wingbacks and Midfielders, that was my argument from the later part of last till before the 3 in a row. We are doing well now so system and players are good. Anderson, Wharton, Hackney and two good wingback will join next season and we will be better hopefully..

afrodoc2:
If you hear players are not good wetin you go do?

Make i hear am fess

Sportsweb:
If you know you know

Was really hoping this dude gets his haircut next week, but sadly......

Elliot Anderson should be the first player on the list of summer or January signing..

odizeey:
Anybody wey dey on the losing side of agenda must collect.

It's your turn. Collect your gbas. 🤣

Make i sha no hear you complain about players again, the system is working well now and we are all happy ..

afrodoc:
Instead of being happy that we are winning games for now (who knows when it will change), you created a point of view inside your own mind and brought it here in order to attack it later. 😂😂😂

Well done.

Yeah right. When they were posting or rather trolling last week about the system, they weren't creating a point out of their own mind. Apart from the nonsense 6 changes he made against Brighton that nearly cos is the game, i have not said anything against Amorim. I am very happy we won 3 games in a row and hope we make it 4 today, just letting them know that i no wan hear players are not good enough again .

3 wins in a row and Amorim system is now working according to some, i no wan hear United players are not good enough to play for wolves again. Hope we make it 4 straight today

People in Government have comfortably allowed killing of innocent Nigerians go on for years, even rewarding the killer's with chieftaincy titles and all. I don't agree with Trump proclamation of Genocide against Christians, but saying more Muslim have been killed to counter Trump is you being fullish. I want more foreign Leaders to do same and put sanctions on people in Govt, maybe this will make them take necessary action to prevent further killings by Herdsmen, BH and unknown gunmen...

Let these Gen Z on the street carry you go top of mountain, introduce you to some brand new things

Baba say Doggy
I will join Sir J after buying that house in Parkview 😁..

andrewbaba44:
Did you even watch the officiating during last season El Classico ? Lmao

Below is what an 18 year old boy knew about cheating ,his dissallowed goal when he was 16

Yamal didn’t insult anybody ,courtois insulted Barca recently but na yamal need home training ,even mourinho pepe have all insulted Barca in the past and nobody cried

He said Madrid use to cheat ,I am sure you can see that pic clearly on how the ball crossed the line

How is Yamal 16years last season and 18years this year?

Leyqute:
I want Bruno to win a major trophy before he leaves. Lord knows he deserves it.

Me too, the EPL is the only major trophy this season but it is generally agreed that United can't win it this season..

engrelvis:
Bruno go no where bro. U won't appreciate him until he is gone. U saw the dummy he did for that last goal?. Look at Casemiro. He locked down that midfield yesterday. Baleba just tire. Bro we still need these guys

Bruno will leave next season or the season after, he is in his 30s and won't play football forever. I am a diehard Bruno fan so not hate here, it purely about the new system we are playing....

BlueRayDick:
Nigeria na crime scene

If Govt decide to probe and prosecute the thieves at NFF, same corrupt FIFA will be shouting Degree 101 to protect NFF officials...

United should try and sign Hayden Hackney in January, boy is the perfect replacement for Bruno. Hackney, Wharton and Anderson next season please..

eph12:
Exactly! If he can't play them at 3 goals up, is it when the match is zeroes he should now play them?

But must he make 6 changes in the game? Do we see top manager make this plenty changes when their team is winning comfortably? If we were chasing the game, then it is understandable...

odizeey:
Which one is you people?

You no dey see wetyn him dey play?

Better wake up from this player FC wey you dey do.

Una say he is not good enough, I say he should be sold. Wetin you want argue here again?

Jamiuokolaa:
I also wasnt too keen especially with the way it was dragging but mehn, it appears he was worth the hassle afterall.

He seems unplayable....atleast at the moment.

I hope other attacking players start contributing effectively with goals + assists too.

He would be even better in a 433 formation, the next Manager will have a very good front line to work with.

eph12:
We didn't spend one dollar to buy him. He is still very young. He is homegrown

More reason he should be sold for profit like Garnacho, he obviously doesn't fit Amorim system and we are not switching formation anytime soon.

larride:
That a old Case is way better than Mainoo and Ugarte is an indictment on both of them.

A serious team will move them on apart from maybe Mainoo to be tried in a different position.

Mainoo is not a DM and not competing with Case, but i get your point. We need better midfielders, same thing i have been saying...

eph12:
We absolutely need to. I'll keep Mainoo because he is homegrown and a local

Keep him to do what? You people say he is not good enough again. Better he is sold for profit and a player who can play his position better is signed..
