One of the easiest way to suicide is joining the Nigerian military

One of the easiest ways to commit suicide is to just be a Nigerian.

Boni05:
Ok tell me where's the security in this country

Security?

When bandits can casually saunter into the Nigerian Defense Academy, kidnap a major, and walk out again demanding ransom?

Meanwhile the people we rely upon for security were in Abuja making merry and sharing iPhones and iPads, including the so-called opposition.

We're on our own.

These fools just love being in the news for all the wrong reasons.

chudisco:
God bless you for not being sentimental and tribalistic

This has gone beyond our petty sentiments and bigotry.

This madness will consume us all if we don't stop bickering about religion and ethnicity and call for an end to this nonsense.

All our leaders have failed: parents, teachers, community/political/religious leaders. They've all failed society.

What a senseless tragedy.

May their souls RIP.


May God strike the killers dead in the most painful way.

I wish the rest of Nigeria would arm itself up against these killer fulani bastards since the government has failed.

And before anyone says anything stupid, I'm fulani too.

No Nigerian woman would file for divorce from a man giving her 3m every month.

I know PMB is an incompetent jackass, but seriously did people expect him to personally stand guard at the NDA and repel the bandits like Rambo?

Whatever happened to the commandant and the people on charge of securing the academy?

When 911 terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon no American blamed Bush; instead, they all rallied round him in support.

If you people don't start thinking rationally you stand the danger of becoming like the ruling class.

I always wonder why some people feel the need to pose with their trinkets and knickknacks for the world to see.

Is that some form of seeking validation?

What's the purpose of showing off material possessions?

pennywys:


Who taught them the importance of doctors, engineers and educated elites in their new Sharia con tree? Aren't those Western ideology?
But it seems these Afghans Taliban are more civilized than the Nigerian version cos here it's all about cows

Who said so?

You mean there weren't scientists and engineers before the modern western civilization?

How were the Egyptian pyramids built? The sphinx? The Aztec and Inca pyramids? The Roman aqueducts and roads? The aquifers and buildings and bridges and roads and wheels and wagons and windmills (invented by Arabs) of civilizations thousands of years ago?

Algebra (From Arabic Al Jabr) was invented by ancient Babylonians but established by Arabs who also established the trigonometric system and cryptology and developed the concept of irrational numbers as well as the current 10-digit numerical system we use, and in medicine the first physician was the Egyptian Imhotep.

So you see, what you call science and engineering preceded the western world of today, who built upon the works of the ancients who discovered and invented with basic tools and ideas.

compton11:
not the entire south


The entire Christians and liberal

True

Scripted nonsense.

How do they even feel sexually attracted to their kids?

My own parental instincts towards kids is protective.

nonut:
A Ghanaian actress did the same thing and she was penalised.
Nigeria is a lawless country, so I don't expect anything to happen.

If she's arrested the entire southern bandwagon would raise dust about rights and free speech and how buhari is a dictator.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Bandits killed a major general.

Bandits kidnapped a major

What a country

Sanchez01:
So Nigeria inducts aircraft? We can't produce, we can't manufacture. We rely on world powers to acquire military-grade aircraft and weapons and now we want to do 'party' for one Tucano... Who cursed this country this bad?

Senseless talk.

How many countries can produce their own aircraft?

You people never miss any opportunity to insult your country as if you've another one.

"But because of the tactical operational capability and superior gunfire of the Operatives, six of the hoodlums were neutralized while others fled with various degrees of bullets wounds,"

It seems there's a manual the cops use to copy and paste this nonsense.

A 4-second video that shows absolutely nothing is proof of harassment and worthy of a new thread?

My. What times we live in.

So no one in the entire military did a threat assessment in light of happenings in the country to checkmate any armed assailants attacking the institution.

Seems every agency and institution in Nigeria is headed by mindless monkeys.

HURIWA is pushing an agenda by labeling the killers "unknown gunmen" when they're irigwe militia.

Unknown gunmen in the north refers invariably to fulani bandits, so HURIWA is forcing a narrative that seeks to absolve the christian militia for their crimes.

Emergingnation:
Where is this outdated fighter jets bought by fulani government that are ment to fight this terrorist

They're neither fighters nor jets.

They're attack turboprops.

Also they're not outdated.

What does he do, really?

Like, what's the point of him?

Some of the ugliest and impractical concept cars I've ever seen.

Well at least they got her name right even when she herself doesn't.

It's actually Dorothy, not Dorathy.

"ipob Finland"

These are some seriously delusional clowns.

LordReed:
I agree that American military interventions cemented their global dominance but that tactic is no longer effective. Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and now Afghanistan, a parade of failure. Why should they continue to expend resources, willpower and effort in a strategy that is producing failure after failure when proven strategies exist that will net the same results.

As for military showdown between China and the US being inevitable, I won't claim to be clairvoyant but I don't see it happening. I think the chances of that happening are at about 45%. China took over Hong Kong without firing a single shot. The Chinese are learning and putting to use strategies that don't require the use of overt military force and it is working. I think that if the Chinese want to take over Taiwan they won't use military force. They might employ the THREAT of military force to bring the Taiwanese government to a negotiating table.

China and Russia need to arm up because of the perceived threat of Western dominance and a mutual suspicion of each other not just of the US. I don't think it really factors into the Chinese drive towards increasing their global influence. If it was the strategy they were employing they would have began to acquire bases around the world but aren't doing that.

Hong Kong was slated to be returned to Chinese rule and it was.

Taiwan is different because of the protectionist treaty with the US and being a democracy.

China is building its military juggernaut first before they acquire bases. They're giving us loans not just for economic gains. A time would come when we'll pay in kind. Something to counter Africom.

Their cozying up with US enemies lays bare their plans. They're even making friends with the Taliban.

The cyber warfare against the US is a prelude to conflict.

And as long as NATO exists, Russia and China will always oppose the western forces, which are nothing without the US.

However you cut it and slice it, military confrontation is near certain. Even if not direct warfare but certainly skirmishes and proxy wars.

LordReed:
China is gaining influence globally and especially in developing nations yet they have yet to lead any on-ground invasion. Global influence no longer requires on-ground troop interventions, it has not been effective for the US since after the Korean war. The reason the favoured currency of international exchange is the dollar is not because of on-ground troop interventions. I am not saying they should adopt isolationist policies, again using China as example their previous isolationist policies had to be modified so that they could participate in the global community. The US has to modify its foreign policies in the same vein and adopt new tactics to maintain their influence.

It's the threat of American military might that has led to its influence, and America has had to fight micro wars and proxy battles to keep that influence, including Vietnam, Korea, the Gulf Wars, Somalia, the Bay of Pigs, Afghanistan and the contra wars.

China may not be fighting any kinetic wars now but that's because it is creeping into places where American influence is receding because of isolationism.

The war between America and China may now not be thermal, but a showdown is inevitable because when one empire winds down, another rises to replace it and it's never always peaceful.

There is an inevitable military showdown between US and China even because of Taiwan, but also because the Chinese and Americans are complete polar opposites in everything, and just like the US flexed its military might to become dominant (including nuclear-bombing Japan simply to show off its new weapons of mass destruction) so also China must wield its big guns.

Why do you think Xi and Putin are spending so much on new weaponry?

LordReed:
Yes they should no longer be committing to such on-ground interventions, its time to change their foreign policy.

But their entire foreign policy, shrouded in the false veil of universal freedom, is to perpetuate their global dominance.

They cannot contain Iran, China, Russia, North Korea, and global terrorism with an isolationist policy.

America First has always been about a strong foreign policy of American global influence

mayormick:
Hmm.....seriously, do we all really expect the Americans to stay forever at Afghanistan? What of the American soldiers losing their lives daily, are they also not entitle to their lives. Honestly, Afghanistan is a sovereign state and if after twenty solid years of america presense Talibans still have these much say and activenesss, then something is definitely wrong somewhere. What I know is one way or the other, the american soldiers will definitely leave one day except maybe we are thinking Afghanistan should be rule by American indefinitely.

American war has always been defined by politics back home.

No country has as much a phobia of its troops returning in body bags than America.

Soldiers know what they signed up for: to give their lives for a cause if needs be.

Americans want to have their cake and eat it. They want to change the world, most often with brute force through wars, but they don't want to lose a single soldier.

What a paradox.

Uyi168:
...
Future American presidents will be thanking Biden for this bold move, no matter how botched it seems.

Future American president's commitment to anyone will be taken with a pinch of salt.

GardenOfGod:
Do you think former President Tump would have been this embarrassing to the world?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Trump has been an embarrassment since he was an embryo.

Besides, this debacle is as much his as Biden's.

Trump parleyed with the Taliban and committed the US to the withdrawal.

Uyi168:
Christians claim to hear from God. Yet there are over 4000 denominations in Christianity.

Nobody actually hears anything.

They only hear their own fears, uncertainty, doubt, hope, wishes, aspirations, and ambitions.

The mind is a powerful tool for hallucinations and fantasy.
