Politics / Nigerian Army Generals Corrupt, Steal Weapons, Sell To Terrorists – Economist by AllahIsSatan: 3:01pm On Oct 22, 2021 |
Nigerian Army Generals Corrupt, Steal Weapons, Sell To Terrorists – The Economist Report “Nigeria’s army is mighty on paper,” the London magazine added. The Nigerian Army is filled “with corrupt generals and unable to protect the country from the mutating violence,” The Economist newspaper reported. “Nigeria’s army is mighty on paper,” the London magazine added. “But many of its soldiers are ‘ghosts’ who exist only on the payroll, and much of its equipment is stolen and sold to insurgents.” The Economist in an extensive report on Thursday said Nigeria had not been able to address its insecurity because military chiefs plundered much of the country’s combat resources and the rest had stretched thin with little capacity to forestall the crisis. “Little more than six decades ago, as Nigeria was nearing independence, even those who were soon to govern Africa’s largest country had their doubts about whether it would hold together. “British colonists had drawn a border around land that was home to more than 250 ethnic groups. Obafemi Awolowo, a politician of that era, evoked Metternich, fretting that Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. “The early years of independence seemed to prove him right. Coup followed coup. Ethnic pogroms helped spark a civil war that cost 1m lives, as the south-eastern region calling itself Biafra tried to break away and was ruthlessly crushed. Military rule was the norm until 1999. “Despite this inauspicious start, Nigeria is now a powerhouse. Home to one in six sub-Saharan Africans, it is the continent’s most boisterous democracy. Its economy, the largest, generates a quarter of Africa’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). “The army is also stretched thin, having been deployed to all of Nigeria’s state,” the paper said in its upcoming October 23 issue that was published on its website today. The paper also said Nigeria police has become demoralised due to poor training and endemic corruption. “The police are understaffed, demoralised and poorly trained. Many supplement their low pay by robbing the public they have sworn to protect,” it said. Nigerian soldiers, especially those deployed in Operation Lafiya Dole in the North-East, have always complained about poor welfare. Some claimed they had not been given fragmental jackets (bullet-resistant vests) since they got drafted into the war theatre. Some soldiers, who spoke to SaharaReporters in May, 2021 also lamented that the army owed them in uniform and boot allowances and also made deductions from their salary in the name of a housing scheme. They added that they had not been eating and feeding well since their deployment to Borno. “There was no housing scheme in the pipeline that the new Chief of Army Staff met when he assumed office. No soldier was consulted, and questionnaires were not shared to sensitise or sample the opinion of troops. “Our salary has not been increased; we still buy uniforms and boots for ourselves; we live in dilapidated buildings. We've not been paid a uniform allowance and boot allowance. You are deployed to a company, the company pays the sum of N150,000, but the Commanding Officer will pay each soldier N30,000,” a soldier had said. http://saharareporters.com/2021/10/21/nigerian-army-generals-corrupt-steal-weapons-sell-terrorists-%E2%80%93-economist-report 1 Like |

Religion / Re: Nuns Raped Little Girls With Crucifixes!!! by AllahIsSatan: 3:24pm On Oct 18, 2021 |
If a man has sex with a virgin who is not betrothed (regardless of whether or not it was rape or consensual) he is obliged to marry her. He should have sought her father’s permission first, negotiated a bride-price, and taken her as his wife. Because he did not, he is punished for this—he now must pay up (he can’t opt out any more) and marry her (which could be a major punishment in itself if this was a foolish, spur-of-the-moment act and she really wasn’t the right woman for him!). Also note that "he may not divorce her all his days" – this initially doesn’t seem significant but is actually a major punishment. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (restated more clearly in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9) allowed for divorce, but only in the case of sexual immorality (the word "uncleanness" refers to this and was translated as such in the LXX). This man now may not divorce his wife even for this reason, but is obliged to continue to support her all his life whatever she does. But her father is ultimately in authority over her, as her head, until he hands this authority over to her husband. If the man is unsuitable, the father can refuse to give his daughter to him. How many fathers would give their daughter to a rapist? Not many. So, in general, a rapist would actually have to pay a 50 silver shekel fine to her father, and not get a wife at all. The answer to the question is in Exodus 22:17 - the woman does NOT have to marry a rapist, she must only do what her father says. Exodus 22:17 says: If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the bride-price for virgins. haekymbahd: |

Politics / Scores Of Villagers Feared Killed As Suspected Bandits Attack Market In Sokoto by AllahIsSatan: 1:30pm On Oct 18, 2021 |
Suspected armed bandits have attacked villagers in the Goronyo market, Goronyo Local Government Area of Sokoto State. According to a report by NewsWire, the assailants attacked the market in large numbers on Sunday night, shooting sporadically and killing several persons. Meanwhile, the number of casualties could not be ascertained at the time of publishing this report. In the past two weeks, bandits have launched attacks on a village market in Sokoto. Earlier this month, at least 19 traders were killed by bandits who raided a weekly market at Unguwan Lalle in the Sabon Birni Local Government Area of the state. The attack also left several others injured, the majority of whom were taken to the General Hospital, Sabon Birni, for treatment. Unguwan Lalle, a community located along Goronyo-Sabon Birni Road, has suffered a series of bandit attacks in recent months. Five soldiers who were on a rescue mission in the area were ambushed and killed by bandits a few months ago. A resident had said the attack happened during market hours. For several weeks, troops have been conducting air and ground operations on bandit camps in neighbouring Zamfara State where authorities have shut down telecoms services to disrupt communication between the gangs. Bandits fleeing the military operation in Zamfara have set up camps in the Sabon Birni district from where they raid villages. The influx of bandits from neighbouring Zamfara State prompted authorities in Sokoto to suspend weekly markets and shut down mobile phone services in border areas, including Sabon Birni. Last week, some youths of Goronyo town in the Goronyo Local Government Area of Sokoto State flooded the streets to protest against the abysmal level of insecurity in the area. A source said the youths were demonstrating against the insecurity in the area, which had forced many residents to flee the town. He said, “Protest is going on at Goronyo town in Sokoto state. The youths took to the streets protesting rampant insecurity that is forcing people to flee the town. The protest is currently ongoing.” Photos obtained by SaharaReporters show roadblocks and burning tyres as the youths expressed their displeasure with killings and kidnappings going on unchecked in their area. Sokoto is one of the states ravaged by insecurity in the North, a situation that has worsened under President Muhammadu Buhari-led government. Just recently, the state government ordered the shutdown of telecommunications services in some parts of the state to curb the prevailing banditry in the state. The ban on mobile phone services is effective in Dange Shuni, Tambuwal, Sabon Birni, Raba, Tureta, Goronyo, Tangaza and Isa local government areas amongst others. Meanwhile, some bandits operating in the Eastern Senatorial District of the state recently resorted to writing letters to reach out to families of their victims to demand ransoms. A source, who was privy to the bandits’ new antics in Sokoto, said a letter was written to a traditional ruler in Burkusuma, demanding a ransom to secure the release of 20 persons kidnapped from two communities in the Sabon Birni Local Government Area. http://saharareporters.com/2021/10/18/scores-villagers-feared-killed-suspected-bandits-attack-market-sokoto |

Career / Re: Where Can I Gain Experience In Electrical Engineering? by AllahIsSatan: 1:05pm On Oct 18, 2021 |
As an electrical engineer, no experience is necessary to get an entry-level role, meaning, you'll have to start from the bottom. In this position, you may design, test, build, and repair electronics and other electrical systems, research the most effective way to install wiring, and use a variety of tools and equipment to get the job done. Your employer will most likely use this role as a type of training or apprenticeship where you work under the supervision of a senior electrical engineer to gain additional experience. Entry-level electrical engineers often help prepare complex calculations, measure power flow and system impact, prepare design reports and material specifications, and inspect completed work to ensure it meets all safety and system standards. As long as you have the basic educational qualifications (like at least a bachelor's degree or an OND), you'll be fine. 13 Likes 1 Share |
