No matter what, wailers will ALWAYS wail.
No matter how good the news is.
Especially the ones about killing all terrorists, bandits, gunmen in our nation.
Reading of bad sad news about deaths and blood are the ONLY thing they wanna see, the only thing they wanna hear, the only thing they wanna view.

Anything about neutralizing all murderers and killers make them sad and wail.
Just like when our Darling Daddy said the military should shoot at sight of any evil herdsmen and any terrorists carrying AK-47, they cried and wailed for many weeks after the statement.
Cos they never want to read about killing of terrorists and murderers.
What manner of people they are.
Shame.

Clowns

Nigeria-Taliban president is looking for how to dump USA for China and Russia. America is watching. A wrong slide and Nigeria will find themselves in chaos because it is what it is

Just send about 1000 Spetznatz with bulletproof Hinds to Borno, 500 each to Niger, Kaduna, Zamfara, Plateau, Nassarawa and 800 to Oyo-Ogun axis.

Back them up with drone bases in Abuja, Gombe and Lagos.

Blow the fanatics away......

Won't happen, though.

Nice move by PMB!

Why be in bed with the west that claims to be the moral compass of democracy when you can Look east for real allies!

I trust Russia more than the United states and Britain

Hmm
