Chai Naija which way??

Kill them all.

The shortest cut to untimely death seems to be joining Nigerian security today. Let weapons be legalized in this country at least, for self defence. God will see us through

the primary objective of governance is security of lives and properties.. and it has been neglected,so i see nothing this administration can show

The bloodshed in this country is too much, my God . This is depressing. Nigeria has failed us, our leaders are failures.

In my past life, did I offend anyone to be in this hell call Nigeria . Everyday, bad news.

I sympathize with the officers and the vigilante members who lost their lives in the war against bandits and terrorist.

They are dying for you to sleep with your two eyes closed .

Vary saddning...
RIP to the dead. when we say things is getting outta hand in this country some people will think otherwise

Deprofessional:
Kill them all.

Chu! Chu!! Chu!!!.

They were'nt caught noise maker!

A failed country led by a failed retired military general.

I guess this is the outcome of leading the war against insurgence from the front

Since the terrorism ends in the North, there is no problem...


But if the terrorists invade Southern Nigeria, like Russia invaded Ukraine, there will be serious consequences.... This isn't Biden's speech.. This is a real talk.

If unknown gun men tries this in the east, the innocent civilians will suffer it, by now community house's would have been razed down by police and military personnel, let them enjoy their brothers, police and terrorist are the same in Nigeria, the difference is that one wears uniform to commit robbery in broad day light while one stays in the bush

you wanna live the life of a game called gta right?.nigeria would be worster if what you said come to reality.

Anyways the pic for both of us below.

Las las everyone has collected the change and moved to the next level. And no one is raising dust not even holding the commander in chief responsible.smh

Smh. Terrorists will slaughter security agents in the North and leave photo evidence everywhere. But NAF will bomb terrorist at a wedding and we won't see one single picture. Security agents will claim to kill "many bandits", yet no photo....no be juju be that?

Do we still have a President, I mean commander in chief of the federal republic?

Terrorists? I thought they were bandit business men. Remember bubu and his bmc's say that only Igbos are the terrorists in the zoo

Horrible

May God be with their families.

Calling into question what Nigerian Govt have in stock for deceased police officers" family in short and long run
