This is very shameful, heads must roll for this.

My Sister.
I was going to create a similar thread.
My conversation with a Nairalander yesterday forced me to reach out to my person in Maidugri and get a detailed account of the gudumbali 130, not 105. Gosh....such horror. I finally confirmed that the picture I posted last year of those soldiers whose bodies looked charred were part of them too. They had never been to Maidugri and didn't understand the tactics of BH. When they saw that Buffalo vehicle and Toyota Hilux Van, they thought it was fellow soldiers. God, what those men did. *sighs*

But it is good that someone of higher rank is letting us in on the truth.

The last time the Borno state governor alerted President Buhari that the NA were only in full control of two LGAs, Buratai our COAS slapped him. Yes, the COAS slapped an executive governor.

As for me, no more back and forths. Enough of the complaints, I've seen that we can't afford the luxury anymore. We're at that stage where every well meaning person must put hands on deck to claim back Nigeria.

If you support or oppose the government of the day, what is your motive? Is it selfish or selfless...
Only you are in the best position to answer.

I'm taking this rare opportunity to express renewed hope in the people of this nation, that no matter how hopeless situations may seem; in a not too distant future, we will see changes, and those changes will begin with us.


If any Soldier is reading this, please know that you have my best wishes. I learnt that your fallen colleagues are now buried on the spot without their families being notified.

I also learnt that your salaries don't come as they used to, and you are being owed RCM allowances (some up to four months)... *sighs*
Gosh, I shake my head.


My brother, keep faith. Stay strong. Be careful, be vigilant. Maintain positive thoughts. For your sake, I believe and I hope that things will get better. Please keep on. I honour you and I honour the memories of your slain colleagues.
It is well.

Distrungled Nigerians are the ones complaining not PDP foot soldiers.

The more the number, the possibility of weighing the two devils becomes imperative. A society will produce leaders of her kind not angels from jupiter.

What is important to common Nigerians on the street is capital flow. How much money is in their pocket and their ability to meet their needs.

Chop I chop (PDP style) is better than Embezzlement by few (APC style) without recourse to the plight of the masses.

At least, PDP has a template and vision for Nigeria whereas APC has none. The spell cast on Nigerians will soon fall off.

Remember, in Nigeria, it's not really about the party but individuals standing for the political platform. What PDP needs is just reforming the process it selects party flagbearers by allowing grassroot participation.

help3852:
if you don't oppose because you don't want to be seen as opposing government or you have friends in government or you are benefiting directly or indirectly, when if Nigeria collapses, i will see where you will run to.

help3852: Hope will not change deliberate human acts because they gain from it.

In USA and Europe, the people are the major opposition not even political parties.

help3852:
In Nigeria we see it as a party thing.

Hope will not change anything in Nigeria, people have to rise up and speak.

helpe3852: I know you are popular here, check out the greatest popular people in the world, they are people who rise up and speak and fight for others.

He is a Senator from those constituencies and he is better placed than Lie Mohammed to give report about there

MizMyColi:


Opposing the government, to what end? What is the motive for doing so?
That I don't speak on Nairaland anymore does not mean I do not speak out in places that matter.
I am more interested in making a real difference than engaging in endless squabbles and superiority competitions.

Perchance you expect me to speak out by sounding very angry and negative in speech.
What I have just done on this thread is what I call speaking out.

I will no longer engage in discussions that lead to fights, I will no longer promote bile and bitterness when I speak about this government or any thing else for that matter.
Acting in such manner drains me, it depletes my energy.

I will no longer put the interest of an individual before that of the Nigerian people.
My interest is not in PDP or Buhari, even though I cannot deny that I am more pro PDP/Jonathan/Democratic - I have decided to put the citizens first, I have decided to know where to draw a line.

Every action I take henceforth should be founded in Love.
I am meant to be a minister of reconciliation, not division. This is my life's soul purpose.

There are people whose soul purpose it is, to speak radically and oppose/support vehemently, that is not me.

I am learning how to speak assertively without romancing negativity of any kind.

If you observe carefully, you will see that I played the role of an opposition in the post you quoted. I have called out the inadequacies of this government without pointing fingers or blaming anyone. Any sane person who reads what I wrote above would feel some emotions being evoked in them, any feeling human who reads that and is in a position to help these soldiers in any way would do something. It will no longer be about PDP or APC but doing what they can to help their fellow countrymen. The people who will eventually pioneer change in this country will do so by first uniting us under a common voice. Divisions will not cut it.

prettyboi1:

Yeah,...according to your warped mind abi? Didn't your warped mind also tell you that the governor of Borno state 'is better placed than this Senator to giver reports about there'?

Teddeebear:
choi, i pity you,

hahaha a senator Is closer to the people than the governor if you don't know,

The senator visited the said place, and has direct contact with the communities young man, Bornu state governor lives in Abuja and only visits a few times a month.

The governor is doing cover up, if you want to know the truth visit those places and stop listening to liars trying to score political points, even your president said boko haram wants to embarrass him, why did he say that.


stop allowing partisanship to cloud your reasoning

prettyboi1:

The problem with us, Nigerians is that we like forming we know too much. How on earth can you say the senator would know more than the governor? Is it not the governor that bears the brunt of whatever security issues that face the state?
Also, have you gone to Abuja to hang out with the Borno state governor? ...or did you just feel like saying that?
Lastly, according to you, " if you want to know the truth visit those places and stop listening to liars trying to score political points".
Take your own advice,bruh.

Teddeebear:
poo, complete poo, you think everyone lives on nairaland like you. hahaha i don't depend on Nigeria journalism young boy, most of them write to please their bosses who own the publishing house.

TonyeBarcanista:

Under PDP who and who were chopping? Did you benefit in the Chop I Chop package? This mentality is one of the reasons why PDP was kicked out of Aso rock, and why the party has lost so much goodwill! The cash that flowed under PDP was among the corrupt elite and their paid agents. PDP must drop such archaic mentality otherwise....

LadyExcellency:


Maybe, this aspect of economics is not your forte.

Even Olisa Metu invested his share of the said "contract whatever" immediately into the economy. It provided the needed cash flow, employment and boosted the market.

Spending boosts any economy on the verge of recession which is why Central Banks reduce exchange rates.

Remember, I said PDP style is better than APC style of looting the national purse. Come to Portharcourt or Eket and see what Aisha Buhari's people are doing in oil and gas. Things are getting worst (corruption in up/mid/downstream oil sectors) because of these new entrants.

TonyeBarcanista:

No society has ever thrived on acute corruption that you are promoting. This mentality is unfortunate.


FTR: There was no cash flow nor improved employment opportunities due to Metuh theft because the money wasn't legitimate and everything was done in secrecy. How does that help an economy

LadyExcellency:


Olisa Metu has not been convicted of any crime by any competent court hence your statement is biased.

As I said earlier, you've no slightest knowledge of how the economy works with/on cash flows. The economy didn't collapse during the period of distribution of bribery cash in ghana-must-go bags by OBJ regime - Why?

The corruption going on in various agencies, department and ministries at the moment is astronomical but the said loots are being stored in saves instead of being reinvested the PDP Stewart's style. What explanation is hard for you to understand.

Where did I justify such actions among the devils than my usual comparative analysis?

The problem of Nigeria is the foundation and wasn't in the change of Government especially to the inexperience and vision-less APC power grabbers.

jaybee:


you have not addressed my questions. attempt to answer my posers and you the limitations of your line of thought.

and you should be worried with yourself if you think you could just wave government information aside and embrace the speculation of a desperate relevance seeking individual.
