Foreign Affairs › Re: Firefights Erupt Between Pakistani And Afghan Forces Along The Border(photos) by Uptheante(m): 4:48pm On Oct 12, 2025
EKONGKING:
There is no wreckage of downed aircraft and any pilot killed . Western media just carried Pakistan propaganda , while Indian released videos and pictures of them attacking Pakistan airfield.

Situation is so bad that Pakistan has to beg Saudi Arabia to sign mutual defense treaty.

Like Qatar signed with USA.

So governments are experts in propaganda.
You get it wrong in your 2nd paragraph.
The defense treaty with Saudi Arabia was actually in favour of Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan has nuclear weapons which Saudi doesn't have, & their military are more battle hardened & experienced than the Saudi military.

The defense treaty was actually because the Saudis want Pakistan to deter Israel from attacking them per adventure they attack Saudi Arabia seeing how some terrorist elements were attacked by Israel in Qatar.
The Saudis don't want a replica of such on their soil. They know they are not a match for Israel militarily, hence they aligned with nuclear armed Pakistan to deter Israel from attacking them.

Saudi has money but are militarily weak even with expensive military weapons.
Pakistan on the other hand are poor but have hardened & experienced military.

SonOfWords:
Pakistan is starting to behave like Israel, repeatedly provoking neighbours and violating sovereign airspaces.

If militants and terrorists are launching attacks on Pakistani border posts, shouldn't the right approach be a coordinated ground offensive against those elements, while collaborating with the governments of the countries where the said terrorists are allegedly holed up?

E be like Pakistan wan follow lick the Afghan soup wey make USA purge. And knowing the Taliban, Islamabad go bellefull wella. Those ones are not India who'll waste time on diplomatic scribbling and plenty English grin.
Do you believe Afghanistan Taliban are more powerful militarily than Pakistan?

I thought Pakistan is nuclear armed?

Since Tinubu came in, I do not think Christians have been targeted. I guess the belief abroad is that all the kidnappings taking place in the north are against Christians. This is a fallacy. These bandits and terrorists target all religions. Just last week, Muslims were wiped out or kidnapped in the north.

From all indications, some people are making this country ungovernable because of 2027.
See, we don't care what those terrorists do to their fellow religious adherents, that one is their family business.
All we care about is that they should stop attacking & killing christians

Pls drop the link here where christains are bing slaughter for being a christain?

Boko Haram, ISIS, ISWAP, Bandit have be busy annihilating their fellow jihaddist the damn US didn't see that ba? I'm a full born christain but where is the killing of christains here, where?

US should be worry about their "Concern President" with his face like a snake that swallow whole lemon orange who is turning dictator right in their nose.
If your neighbor has a wild animal that terrorizes you & your kids, will you be less concerned if that your neighbor tells you that his wild animal also terrorizes his children worst than it does to your own?

I suppose your concern will be that his wild animal stops terrorizing you & your kids. You don't care what his wild animal does to him & his kids.

Now, apply this same logic to the killing & attacks on christians by jihadi terrorist groups & the response given by the pple of the opposite religion that those terrorists kill & attack them more.

Israel had two years to destroy Hamas and has failed to do so. Even the Israeli military states that Hamas still has the same number of fighters as it did at the beginning of the war. Some estimates even say that Hamas now has more fighters than it did before 2023.

All Israel has done is to bomb schools, hospitals, and civilians in order to ethnically cleanse Gaza. Even that too has failed as Palestinians continue to show their resilience. Israel and Trump should take a backseat. There is nothing Israel can do that it hasn't done already. And it failed badly at it.
What exactly is your point?

Bible prophecy is playing out.

Israel is Gods time prophetic clock.

No one should divide the land of Israel or play with that land because it will make God Judge that Nation that divides it, its going to trigger the rapture, so we are out and then Judgment comes both on Israel and on all the nations of the world.

America is not safe, if it divides or changes things on that land.

That Land is Gods promise to Israel, his promise is eternal, and he does not lie.

On the day of the rapture there is a great earth quake, due to the power of the resurrection, those who have died and believed in Jesus are resurrected with new immortal bodies, the power of God that causes the resurrection, shakes the earth. Then we who are alive will know, and i think will be excited, and then we also will be transformed translated, in a second smiley

The rapture is so close, help me God.
There was an audio tape " cause and effect" by an American preacher whose name I can't remember.
He analysed several disasters & calamities that befell America whenever they tried or supported the division of the promised land.
Hurricanes (Catrina & others) + terrorist attack (September 11th 2001), happened at the time when the president of the United States at that time was calling for the division of the promise land.

He attributed these disasters to be the direct consequences of going against God's promise to Israel, given the influential role the US has on Israel & on world affairs as a super power.

I have read your posts and really surprised. It's either you work for government or an efcc official. I hope you don't fall a victim someday if its none of them. You need to travel and experience things so you can understand how far behind we are as a nation. If someone decides to have a tattoo and dress the way he likes, does that mean he is fraudster. Why don't they go to big hotels in lagos, does it mean fraudsters are not there? Stop defending the rascality. I have not visited Nigeria for 3 years plus now but if do visit, I would be so scared of the police. This is me speaking from bitter experiences of which i was innocent.
People are judged based on their appearance, it's a fact that can never be denied.

This doesn't apply to only fraudsters & other criminals, it also applies to ladies.
For instance, if a woman dresses like a prostitute, she's generally seen as a prostitute.

I did NOT ask you if you said or didnt say and I did not ask you to clarify anything. I asked you "are you saying that..."


1. earlier you claimed that the reason EFCC is doing these raids and making arrests is because it has "made detailed & covert investigation about those occupying hotel rooms. They don't just rush into any random hotel & arrest pple at random."



if that is the case, are you now saying that EFCC is not actually doing these raids and making arrests NOT because it has "made detailed & covert investigation about those occupying hotel rooms. They don't just rush into any random hotel & arrest pple at random", BUT simply because these people being arrested do not have "cult status" and do not "hold high positions in the country"?

2. I didnt ask you about "a person". I asked you about the people I mentioned.

what is the "cult status" that you say the people I mentioned have?

3. are the Crimes committed by the people I mentioned not detrimental to national security?

how is arresting them and arresting them for committing crimes detrimental to national security?

4. but you claimed that the people I mentioed CANNOT be arrested because their aarest will lead to insurrection and is detrimental to national security.

how doe that not show that they are greater and bigger than Nigeria and its law enforcement agencies?

5. which law is EFcc using to withold information about the outcome of these so called investigations you talking about?

6. can you show me the policy or law guiding EFcc which permitting it not to make public its investigation into criminal and corrupt activities of politicians?

7. how is raiding hotels and arresting random people and not arresting corrupt politcians with evidence of corruption in the best interest of nigerians?

how is corruption in the best interest of nigerians?

8. There is a video of one of their night raids where they forcefully broke into the room of a hotel manager and rained heavy slaps on her.

Is that the product of "detailed and covert investigations?OT
1. Yes, they arrest those yahoo boys in the hotel because they are not influential in the society & they lack the cult status/ fan base that can threaten national security.

2. My answer applies to all of them not one person.

I have already answered the rest of your questions in my previous reply.

Just know it that EFCC are working in the best interest of the country & they are humans prone to making few mistakes in one way or the other.
It's unfair to use their little mistakes to overshadow their positive impacts to the society.

1. if there is no law that gives EFCC the right to suspect a person is a fraudster or criminal and arrest that person "dressed in tattoos, earrings, dark lips, dreadlocks, etc (& you are not musician or footballer or a popular celeb)", is the EFCC not acting unconstitutionally and unlawfully?

2. how is the EFCC suspecting them as thieves, inviting them for investigation & even seizing their assets in many situations when the same you claims that the EFCC cannot arrest them?
1. Does it have to be constitutional before sanity is restored & criminals are apprehended? What matters most is the safety & benefit of Nigerians. That's why I also asked if the office of the 1st lady is constitutional, even though it's existing & benefitting Nigerians.

2. They are mostly invited.
Even in rare cases where they are arrested, it is done in a respectful & secret manner not to trigger violent repercussions

1. what law in Nigeria's statutes says that a person "dressed in tattoos, earrings, dark lips, dreadlocks, etc (& you are not musician or footballer or a popular celeb)" is automatically a fraudster or criminal?

2. why does the EFCC not suspect that those occupying political office are thieves and criminals?
1. There's no law for that, but you can't always rely on presence of a law before you carry out your legitimate duty as a law enforcement agent. Same with other facets of life.
Eg. There's no law for the creation of the office of the first lady, but it exists.
Why haven't you query that?🤔

2. If EFCC don't suspect them as thieves, then how come the same EFCC invite them for investigation & even seize their assets in many situations?

9. Is that the product of "detailed and covert investigations?
1. Yes, I did said that, but let me clarify further:
Those yahoo boys are arrested in public because they don't have any influence in the society & lack foot soldiers that can rebel & pose national security threat as a result of their arrest. Hence, any hotel occupied by those yahoo boys can be easily invaded after covert investigation by EFCC & they will be arrested & paraded. Influential politicians are mostly invited first by EFCC, it's only when they fail to honour the invitation that an order will be made for their arrest.

2. A person with cult status has a very large dedicated die-hard & often fanatical fan base that are ready to fight for him or create insecurity in the country if they perceive that their principal is being humiliated. Hence, EFCC & other security agents are very careful with such a person no matter his crime.

3. I've already answered this before

4. These pple are not bigger than the federal government or security agencies, but the consequences of arresting them publicly or humiliating them is more like a pyrrhic victory.
Eg. killing a deadly lion at the cost of sustaining injuries that may leave you dead or scarred & disabled for life, instead of using some mechanisms to chase it away from your habitat.
There's something called risk to benefit ratio.
Smart pole with high IQ often weigh in the amount of benefit to be derived from a risky adventure & consider whether it is really worth the risk or undesirable consequences.
Even in the wild, predatory animals like lions, tigers, leopards, etc, avoid hunting some animals because the risk far outweighs the benefit.

5 & 6. If you are conversant with happenings in Nigeria, I'm sure you must have heard the outcomes of so many investigations by EFCC.
Some of the arrested were found guilty & their assets seized, some served terms, some were even banned from contesting political positions again, & some were declared not guilty.
If there are some cases where you feel the outcome of the investigation was not made public, you are free to request for info on such from EFCC. Under the Freedom of Information Act, you are entitled to such information.

7. National security is the interest of Nigerians.

8 & 9. Like I've said before, the EFCC agents are humans & they are prone to errors or high handedness at times during arrest.
However, if an individual feels he was manhandled unjustly during arrest, he's free to seek redress in court.

I painstakingly answered all your questions because I want other folks who share the same mindset with you to be enlightened.

Not everything must be written as a law before it can be applied.
There's what we call 'pattern recognition'.

If it has been observed that criminals dress/appear in a particular way , security agents will observe this pattern & it will it will enable them identify folks who dress like that as criminals.

EFCC observe pple that occupy political offices that's why a lot of them have been apprehended & investigated.
Some have been forced to forfeit their assets as proceeds of corruption.

That's not the definition of a Good Mother.

A good mother protects her child and sometimes that means protecting her child from his/her own worst enemies and impulses, despite what the child wants.

Or will you call your mum a good mother if your sibling brings home a drug dealer and is swearing that the drug dealer makes them happy and gives them "peace of mind"?

Human being are very imperfect and worse, wicked. Sometimes, that maternal love hides a heart of avarice, pridefulness and greed. Even criminals that scam and kill people, their mothers collect money happily from them. Are those good mothers?

3. There is a video of one of their night raids where they forcefully broke into the room of a hotel manager and rained heavy slaps on her.

Considering the cult status of such pple you mentioned, it will be highly detrimental to national security if they are arrested publicly or their properties raided.
These pple hold high positions in the country with massive influence.
Arresting them publicly will trigger an insurrection & by their millions of foot soldiers, leading to a domino effect that will seriously impact negatively on the already fragile security & effectively distabilize the country.

EFCC & the federal government is fully aware of this fact, that's why they don't publicize their investigations on such persons & it seems to you as if such persons are untouchable. Most often, what EFCC does with them is secret plea bargaining whereby they secretly agree to forfeit part of their loot in exchange for some sort of amnesty.

You can't compare them with your street yahoo boys who have no clout or influence that can trigger an internal rebellion if they are arrested.
To you, justice is flawed, but the anti corruption agencies are actually looking at national security in the best interest of Nigerians

Let assume you Lodge this hotel expecting a girl, they arrest you along without any investigation.
Appearance also matters .
There's no way you can be dressed in tattoos, earrings, dark lips, dreadlocks, etc (& you are not musician or footballer or a popular celeb) & EFCC won't suspect you to be a fraudster or criminal.

Not all investigations are 100% accurate, there are situations where errors occur & few innocent persons are picked alongside majority criminals, mostly based on rough, suspicious appearance as I've already stated.
But at the end of the day, those innocent persons are released unconditionally.

And I don’t want to engage ashawo too cos sex with ashawo Is always stale. No style changing, nothing just one style and once I’ve given her the money, I’ll regret. I don’t enjoy it.

But with hookup, you can still explore a bit. Especially if she come sabi sef.
I wan give you advice though you mustn't take it.

Hookup will be far more expensive than ashawo.
As for changing style with ashawo, it depends on how much you are willing to add for her apart from the normal price.
Even most hookup girls no go give you styles if you no add more than their basic price.

For instance, if ashawo normal price na 3k per round, if you give her 8k or 10k, she go allow you Bleep different styles for long period.
On the contrary, most hookups will only accept anything from 20k above excluding transport.
Much expensive than ashawo, all of them na still the same toto & the same prostitutes with different titles.

Just go for the ones wey get calm character, & make sure you seal the agreement before the sex begins

The face, the height, the athletically fitted military stature, the V-shape, the broad shoulders, the lips, the walking steps—all complete the picture of a guy. Yet, I still find it too difficult to attract a girl easily.

Mind you, I stay in one of the towns in the southwest. Please help, I'm getting depressed.
Go for a girl that is also in your class & make sure those other girls see you with her.
This will convince them that you are not intimidating since another girl is free/safe with you.

It will make them lower their guards & be free with you because of their competitive nature.
