Batam: These people are clowns. For those of you supporting them you are myopic in your thinking, if they ban public gathering like churches and mosques no qualms. What of your market places where people always move closer to each other or public transport where people sit closer themselves or club house where people mingling with each other.
Mind you the churches and mosques that you guys are happy they are banning are more secured than you think if corona virus is demon it dare not enter there if truly they are worship the true God there.
Wow, the no true Scotsman fallacy.
I guess once it enters the church, you could comfortably say that they don't worship the true God.
SamuelAnyawu: People will capture it. Abuja is not Kukawa, Kekeno, Ali Gambari, Cross Kauwa, Doron Baga, Doron Naira Island, Marte, Gudzamala or Abadam
Since we all know for a fact that we can't pray COVID19 away. It is right that we ban all these pointless religion gatherings.
But, we will be naïve if we think they won't fight back. Pastorprenuers will defend their sole source of income while religion fundamentalists, up North, will most likely never obey this rule until things get out of hand.
mrZENographer: The virus can be treated or killed with anti-viral foods or supplement. The rich can afford it very easily. All they need is the knowledge. But many middle/low class either won't have the money or won't be prepared or won't have the knowledge of how to treat it. And we aren't even talking about the overun hospitals that will leave many waiting for treatment. But these rich people will have first class access or treat at home.
dj4wealth: I just confirmed this some minutes ago. More than 50 actually. 59 to be precise!
59 human lives just like that. Worse still, they won't be mourned by the nation cos as long as the average Nigerian is concerned, everything is fine and dandy. This is what the service chiefs are hiding from the senile dullardih*o.
You have any info on the casualty figure on the terrorists side?
I don't understand your unnecessary hostilities towards Samuel. He has always provided info that even so called reputable news agency, save Premium Times, can't report on. And they have always turned out to be true.
ISWAP don't post all the video of their attacks online, that we know of.
But, ISWAP has also suffered huge loss in men and equipment lately. We don't expect them to report on that as well.
sassysure: U are not right dear. In the west, junk food is the order of the day. More than half of them don't cook. Go to front page and see where explorers posted pictures of what people from the west stock piled due to panic buying. Nigerians won't look at them twice. We eat organic and well cooked food not processed food that's bad for the heart and body. U know nothing about how these people eat. Don't let the media deceive you. And don't have to eat one egg a day to be healthy. I personally eat egg like 10 or less in a year. Some people are allergic to egg. Some, don't eat it cos they are vegetarian. Some are advised not to eat it by their Drs.
If.u eat Nigerian soap and swallow. U are automatically eating a balanced meal without knowing that which most of us eat daily.
And what is the life expectancy of westerners and Nigerians?
SamuelAnyawu: Lol wetin man go do na. Surprisingly I met a nairalander here too about two weeks ago.
Monguno is cool and calm for now. Tho the road to Maiduguri is quite scary for now because it seems some dudes here are selling information to these BH guys.
Last week a Cpt here traveled in mufti, just 30mins out of Monguno BH were waiting for him . He was lucky the driver was able to maneuver back to Monguno, BH chased them for over 5 mins before the BH technical ran into a Ditch.
So currently we are being careful as they mostly hunt Christians, NGOs and Soldiers
How true is it that when the terrorists get injured/sick they get treated by the NGOs?
emeijeh: If any guy had borrowed an expensive car from his friend to show off this morning, and the car was parked around the vicinity where the explosion took place, SORRY IS HIS NAME
lebuhsi: The Nigerian Army has said Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) leaders were in conflict over troops elimination of more terrorists.
Col. Aminu Iliyasu, the Nigerian Army Operations Media Coordinator, said this in a statement on Sunday.
He noted that troops have sustained the recent defeat on insurgents in Damboa and Garkida towns of Borno and Adamawa States, respectively.
Iliyasu noted that the defeat has continued to widen the cracks and animosities exposed recently within the ranks and files of the Boko Haram.
“This is providing the troops with the much needed tonic to continue to decimate the terrorists in a bid to expeditiously end their obnoxious activities.
“It could be recalled that on March 11, the gallant troops of Strong Response Area Gubio successfully repelled a Boko Haram criminals’ attack.
“During the encounter, the troops dealt a decisive blow on the marauding criminals, neutralised two of them and captured one AK47 Rifle.
“Subsequent exploitation by the troops along the withdrawal route of the insurgents in the early hours of March 12 led to the discovery of additional five shattered bodies of the terrorists from the encounter.
“One burnt Boko Haram terrorists Gun Truck, one PKT Machine Gun, two AK 47 rifles, three AK 47 rifle magazines and 67 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition were also recovered,” he said.
Iliyasu revealed that two Boko Haram terrorists: Musa Mohammed 21-year-old and Maina Liman 35-year-old surrendered to the troops of 202 Battalion at Tashan Goto in Bama Local Government Area on March 5.
He said that the surrendered terrorists confessed that they worked for Nakib (a Boko Haram Captain) at Bula Umar village.
The Army spokesman further disclosed that the troops recovered two AK47 rifles with magazines and eight rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition from the surrendered terrorists.
He added that the surrendered terrorists further revealed that a number of their members were killed by the troops in recent times.
Iliyasu said the surrendered insurgents hinted that many of their members were wandering in the forest and willing to surrender to troops because they are tired.
“They also regretted their involvement in the act of insurgency while calling on their former collaborators to also take the bold step to renounce and submit themselves to the authorities of the Nigerian Army.
“In a related development; on March 8, another Boko Haram terrorist, Bulama Modu Zantaliye surrendered to troops of 151 Battalion deployed at Strong Response Area, Banki Junction.
“Preliminary investigation reveals that the surrendered terrorist belongs to the Shekau faction.
The root word of the word "Taliban" is tālib, meaning "student" in Arabic. America oversaw and nurtured Taliban into a religious fundamentalist group to do their dirty job against then Soviet Union.
BluntBoy: People have been warned to avoid night travels, but some people are just destined to be lost due to their stubbornness.
The security arms have warned about night travels in certain destinations, and corps members were especially warned. But, no, it is obviously very hard for some people to take simple instruction, even if their lives depended on it.
Toju200: if Netflix nor carry this film na small thing... These new military films are going to be a break through in our entertainment industry also our military in some kind of way...
I wrote a story and published it under a pseudonym years ago. It would make a great movie if adapted.
Sizzorkay: Eventually pointless, if there is any illness out there that is deadly and can easily be transmitted, then every single country's medical facilities will be overwhelmed, eventually they will collapse, if hospitals can't handle tons of people who need medical assistance, then we are talking about the very end of our civilization as we know it. How many people died of SARS in Africa in 2003-04? probably none. (CDC didn't mention Africa), and by June or July, it was contained, in other words, summer time. This COVID-19 is a flu virus, active only in cold weather, same reason it hasn't spread all over Africa by now, and it won't, it won't survive in such climate, except those who have winter season, Algeria etc. Anything that's easily transmittable with over 50% fatality rate can not be stopped, no matter how hard we try, so let's hope I'm dead before that day comes , and hopefully it won't happen, unless we accidentally unleash something buried deep in the arctic for millions of years . Everything simply take a little bit of time, as long as the death rate is low, it can be stopped, we've come a long way, medically speaking. Just my thought on this, not an expert
You dare not step on the pavement with your barefoot in Abuja, and even most part of Nigeria, during this hot season. The weather is so hot, it will cook an egg.
