Dogalmighty17:
The bright red colour of the blood indicates that a major artery was hit. Except the entry hole of the bullet gets quickly packed and sealed to stem blood loss, such injuries kill in minutes.

Now let me begin to point out the deliberate incompetence of both the state and federal governments and security agencies.

1. Naka road where this attack happened, is a road that has consistently been plaqued by marauding Fulani killers. The road is in utter state of disrepair and has remained so since the 90s. Thick vegetation surrounds that road for miles. The Fulani emerge from the bush, strike and then retreat. No week es without Fulani killing people on that road. Up to this moment, two Benue links buses full of engers, had the occupants kidnapped by the same Fulani and nothing has been done. This incidents happened less than a month ago.

2. Two Nigerian army check points are on that road. The police have a check point on that road too. These check points are primarily used to collect money from drivers. Once you approach any of the army check points, the driver of the vehicle MUST alight, walk to an area beside the checking point and drop 200 naira into a bowl the soldiers have set up for that purpose. The soldiers merely sit under a tree close to the check point and observe.

3. Makurdi is headquarters to the largest command of the Nigerian air force. This is where most of our fighter jets are based. While this airforce base is not home to airforce helicopters, the base can serve as a quick staging area for helicopters that can be brought in for surveillance.

4. About helicopters, with all the noise successive Benue state governments have been making regarding the Fulani killings, not one governor has bothered to procure a helicopter that can be quickly deployed to search for the Fulani camps that undoubtedly exist in the thick forests around the Makurdi-Naka road.

5. Infrared/night vision capable cameras are a thing some helicopters carry now. If the federal government won't mandate the airforce to use it's combat helicopters equipped with night vision cameras to search for Fulani camps in the forests, nothing stops the Benue state government from buying a couple of the civilian helicopters that can be used for such.

6. The Fulani build make shift camps deep in forests. Everyone generates body heat. Against the contrast that vegetation provides, this heat a human being generates can be picked up by infra red cameras on a helicopter. A helicopter on patrol that picks up a settlement in the thick forest with its IR cameras can easily geo-locate that location for Nigerian army paratroopers who are based in north bank, Makurdi to swoop down and investigate.

Heat in the forest is likely human activity. The Fulani killers have to use fire to cook after all.

Tackling the Fulani menace is not rocket science. Technology exists that can make sure these guys don't have a place to hide. All round incompetence in Nigeria's security architecture and the lack of the political will is what makes these killings continue.

They have moles at the top. Before you carry out the operation they have been informed and have safely relocated.

Gbadugbakun:
Nigerians are naturally stubborn. You know how useless the police is and how lawless the country is yet when they stop you, you'll be following them to drag and refusing to stop.

Just stop and show them your papers highest they'll ask you for weekend money. If you like you can give if you like you can tell them you don't have case closed.

The police can be very irritating at times. I don't evading police scrutiny though. It's important for the safety of us all. What I frown at is shooting live bullets. What happened to rubber bullets? Why chase offenders when u can track them with their vhcl numbers? Get the vhcl numbers, track and ensure effective prosecution. In many developed countries, u don't see police on the road. They use remote traffic. But nobody dares disobey due to vhcl tracking. Why don't we apply that in Nigeria to end this wastage of lives on the streets. The shots could take out an unsuspecting bystander.

EvilMerodack:


Your comment is totally off.

Na Government wan dey tell private schools how dem go dey operate their school buses?


Are the citizens that worse that they can't innovatively come up with something special,for even their own private Business?

The comment is not OFF. it's germane. It is government legislation that makes for law and order in the society. If the state or national assembly so legislate and the executive signs into law, the law enforcement agencies pick that up. Defaulters would go in for it. So, hold the government able for societal chaos and disorder. The government includes your clueless elected legislators.

Why are rich igbo people never Obidient?

They want to protect their businesses and interests. Also rivalry is not ruled out. But the teeming masses are compliant.

Oga Doctor, go connect to gas. Use gas generators. Jenbacher for 2 generators. They will rven allow your hospital pay installment ally for 5 years.

The game here is how to bleed the country dry. Your option is too economical for that.

Nice food. I still don't like chicken in egusi soup

Chicken for me is only for rice stew or peppersoup. Chicken in egusi or soup meant for eba or fufu et al is not for me.

Eggs are now classifiably luxury goods. If you want to improve sales ask the government to subsidize poultry business.

Amen!

POTUS Donald John Trump's appearance in AI generated Papal Robes, broke the internet. Dream do really come true. Little did we know that the first American Pope was on the way. Welcome Pope Leo XIV.

Rufai Oseni has been right all the while. VDM was in EFCC not DSS custody. Well, I expect VDM to sue them for denial of freedom if he were innocent. In developed countries, they only arrest when a prima facie case is established. In Nigeria, we arrest on mere suspicions and release when not found guilty. Standing justice on its head.

Whodunit? It's not enough to just deny. Seyi should sue for libel let's watch the drama. He could buy his way at court but if guilty it would be evident. He needs to clear his name beyond this. Afenifere is not the right organ thereby regionalizing a clear point accusation against one person

iLoveYouToo:
Those guys killed people. The police should’ve been called in to seize him


Abduction is a felony ( a federal offense at that), who gave this man right to forgive the kidnapper? 🤦‍♂️

The forgiver is accessory after the fact. The repentant committed crimes against the state. I am not sure he repented though. Okada business is consistent with their modus operandi, intelligence gathering. He is still very much in it. There's no due diligence by the govt in combating these terrorist s. Why won't it mushroom?

Very good one. There is need for sanity in the preservation of laws around life and humanity. The same way the world rose in accord against cloning of human beings, is same way this one is going. Despite his uncouth approaches to governance, the silly tariff wars, the world is grateful to POTUS Trump for ending Transgender issues.

bigpicture001:
My problem with all of them is that non of them seem to be focusing on the tools tinubu has set in place help him rig/win

If the entire country does not pressure NASS into electoral reform where it will b stated that IREV result is final ND authentic results ... The. The INEC will continue to read out fictional and fabricated results on national t. V show ... Results which does not coroborate with any other result from the source...

That is where the primary problem is

God bless you for this. It's not about winning, it's about the transparency of the processes. If you look closely, the rigging for 2027 is almost perfected. While the opposition focused on winning the masses over, the ruling party well aware of her shortcomings, is perfecting wresting it by all means. The CJN is there - go to court, if you want. The INEC Chairman is still there despite the coup last time. In fact nothing has changed. Wike is in Abuja to ensure the magic in Rivers was replicated there. The Rivers crisis is all about 2027 and control of the rigging apparatuses of the state - the best way was a destabilized Rivers since Sim was proving headstrong. Wike's interest is to control the resources of the state, PBAT's interest is the of Rivers willynilly. Look at Delta state. These politicians might not be with the people of their states, but they are the rigging points to liaise with INEC and police etc. The plot is on in a multi-facet way.

What indeed do terrorists gain from harming and killing innocent population? We have mass killers yet they are not classified as terrorists by Nigerian Government. When their leaders are caught they are treated as repentants and later recycled to continue. They should be tried and convicted. No single known conviction yet army is fighting hard and capturing them. Why?

Many guys pay for this, imagine on a platter of gold and you go report

Na kid na. His conscience is still alert. He would feel many things. It could even lead to suicide. That's why it's wrong on both genders.

KillahPriest:
why confront her ? You've been given green light to play your own music and you're talking about confrontation
Does she have any beautiful friend or sister giving you green light ? Get that one's number and Facebook profile then be tagging that person constantly to your posts especially when you hangout. Testify with a crate of Goldberg Black later

I concur. If she's well intentioned she wouldn't see it as anything. But if she begins to whine then something was wrong ab initio and would simply retrace her steps, if she loves you. Complaining around women makes you look weak. Treat them with action. Women don't like weak men for a reason. They like being commanded subconsciously.

What's really happening to senator Natasha? Who are orchestrating these splinter attacks? This should be thoroughly investigated and those behind brought to book.

CoronaVirusPro:
Why must Wike give forgiveness a chance? For what reasons!

Wike is starting to become a weakling!

Even if Fubara resigns today, it is still not enough justification to forgive. The war must be taken to the grave and continue in the afterlife.

Fvck forgiveness!

people will not understand you are being sarcastic. Wike must take this fight to the great beyond.

YoshiMaster:


Exactly.

He traveled to , while French President traveled to Egypt.

Very hardworking bubu

I love gentleman agreement. If truly Davido accepted to pay them 45k dos, why defaulting?

Easy. This is just an accusation. Davido yet to respond. The flip side is necessary before we conclude.

Samantha125:
Is Egbema one of the 500 Nigerian tribes or a dialect of one of the major tribes?

One of the tribes

morrisono111:


How do you expect the sole s to manage all the LGA alone

If there is a sole then there should be LGA s to work with the sole pending 6months

Don't mind them. Revisionists everywhere. Can election be successfully conducted now in the circumstances?

Samantha125:
Interesting, do you guys also return the bride price money to the groom's family afterwards?😃😃😃

No, except there is divorce. Return of bride price spells end of marriage.

Samantha125:
As a foreign national on this forum, I'm curious to know what is considered an ideal dowry in your tribes in Nigeria... And for those who are married, I'd like to know how much dowry did you guys pay for your wives and same goes for ladies, how much did he also pay for you?

I'd also like to see other Nigerian tribes participate, it can't always be the Yorubas, Igbos, Hausas, and Fulanis.

Hello Samantha. Welcome back. Among the Egbema, bride price is distinct from what is done traditionally in the course of marriage. The groom sends his people with a few palm wine jars to his would-be in-laws in what is called mai akpo ife afa (drink in which mission is not disclosed) . Thereafter what we call first, second and third visits follow in which the in-laws (groom's family) send various nuptial items ranging from drinks of different brands, cigarettes, clothes, etc of varying quantities as specified for the various stages. This varies from village to village. After the 3rd visit is the bride price, which might range from as little as 50 NGN to 500k NGN. It'smainly negotiated in monetary aspect. Pride price of 500k NGN is very rare indeed. In effect, the entire cost of visit items and the pride price might not sum up to 1m NGN. The main source of fund leakage is the marriage ceremonies proper (Traditional and white weddings) which may differ according to the taste of the couple.

Before I can give you an answer I have to suck your breasts first so as to properly evaluate the value of the 'assets' you are bringing into the marriage

Pervert.

GistMedia0:
A United States citizen married to a Nigerian woman has taken to social media to express deep frustration over the challenges he’s facing in trying to acquire Nigerian citizenship and a port, despite being legally married and having Nigerian children.

In a video making rounds online, the man, who is currently in the U.S., questioned what he described as a “double standard” in Nigeria’s immigration and citizenship process. According to him, his research online shows that when a Nigerian man marries a foreign woman, she becomes eligible to apply for a Nigerian port almost immediately. However, the reverse doesn’t apply when a Nigerian woman marries a foreign man.

"Why is it that if a Nigerian man marries a foreigner, the wife gets her port, but if a Nigerian woman marries a foreigner, he has to live in Nigeria for 15 years before even being considered eligible?" he asked.

The footage also shows him holding up the Nigerian ports of his wife and their children, further emphasizing his point that he is already family and committed to Nigeria by blood and marriage.

He lamented that the process appears discriminatory and questioned whether the information he found online is truly accurate or if there are exceptions. “Why me?” he repeatedly asked, hoping that what he read isn't entirely true and that there could still be a path forward for him.

Oga, Nigeria is a patrilineal country. So, a man married to a foreigner is considered as one of us, he brings his family home, so his wife is given automatic citizenship. A woman married to a foreigner leaves Nigeria to her husband's country, this time the US. You are lucky they gave your children ports.

NoIgboSoundTueh:
is he igbo man?

You and you are free to hate him for that.

ObosiLandlord:
Ndume you're quiet throughout Buhari s tenure, I wander why you're just finding your voice. Tinubu should also know he's the president of Nigeria, not the president of Yorubas. Yorubas vote alone can't make him the president. There are competent people all over the country

Please, let Yorubas chop. It's turn by turn. Fulani/Hausa had field day when Buhari was in office. No one spoke out. If I were Tinubu, only my kinsmen will rule with me till I hand over. If I fail, we fail. If I , we . That's what leadership in Nigeria is reduced to by default. Tribal trial by error.

China will retaliate and vice versa. Let's see who blinks first. The war go sweet well well. Africa should rise up and form a strong independent regional bloc to harvest from the chaos.

Michaelkelvin1:


But the question is what does he need to go to the moon for? Well we don't judge.. his rewards is with the creator

Adeboye is not going to the moon per se. He was shown what would happen even outside his lifespan. I have seen the dim future that didn't look real compared to today, me a nobody.

lomprico:


Muumu!

When u can't grab simple logic. Compare life in 1445 to that in 2025, then project upwards to 2095. It's easy to surmise that being in the moon would become an effortless issue in the future, wouldn't even be news. Adeboye didn't mean travelling to the moon today. God showed him what would become a possibility in dim future. Get it or get lost.
