@jassjegs Thank you

Damn ...

Bringing back so many bitter sweet memories.

This very Operation still remain the reason why Nigeria is still standing strong today when it comes to fighting Terrorists across Nigeria.

We never knew the extent at which the terrorists are so close to capturing Maiduguri at large, until we started that operation.

That was the first Operation with late Col Abu-Ali and I can tell you he was the reason for that successful season.

Majority of the troops morale has already been dampened and virtually everyone are not ready to fight anymore.

They believe people are sabotaging their efforts in frontline.

But the appointment of then Maj Gen Lamidi Adeosun brought some sigh of relief and fresh air across all locations.

The only viable location BHTs haven't captured them was only Konduga and Biu, even at that Konduga was on the verge. Because the volume of attacks in that location then was crazy.

That period the President postponed the Election by 6 weeks and ask the whole locations be recapturd back.

Most importantly Baga, because the news of BHTs capturing Baga went viral and it was their biggest of operation.

The task to go and recapture it back was one hell of a difficult task.

But unknown to us when you have a man capable of doing virtually everything in then Maj Abu-Ali, then everything is as good as done.

We saw a petit man with overall and those at the back could not even see his rank properly and thought it was a random person like CJTF 😁

But with General Adeosun Al's listening carefully, I was curious to know who's this.

He introduced himself and I was like ah a Major? This small? But the definition of small but mighty is truly him.

Immediately he said " Gentlemen I will lead from the front and everyone should follow me behind. I will do 95% of the job you people should do just 5% by clearing/capturing the one running for their lives.

Morale was high again, at that point I wanted running immediately to go and man my Gun. But last address from the GOC again.

I immediately knew this Operation will be successful in my head I was already planning.

Because the amount of ammunition they brought for us, I have never seen it in my life. We can fight for good 3 months without requesting for more, but unfortunately the number of obstacles we met on our way those ammunitions finished in 2 weeks.

These terrorists already manned very close to Maiduguri, like imagine fighting from Tungushe until we entered Monguno, it was that close.

Fee KM to Monguno these people ambushed with various tanks and the volume of fire can confuse your enemies to pray for you, it was so deadly.

We saw some crazy things after capturing Monguno, imagine they turned the QG to their own colour and inside the hospital they have their patients there receiving treatment.

They never thought anybody will breakthrough and enter that Monguno, to tell you how prepared they are.

Then the toughest of task came, proceeding to recapture Baga.

Moving from Monguno. Yoyo. Mile90. Kekeno and getting close Kuros, that was when the biggest of shock hit us, firing from all angles and at a point the tank seized and from my Gun I couldn't hear any of his explosion.

What's happening? That was I respected them Col Eyitayo. Man stood his ground calling for calm, we never knew Maj Abu-Ali has fainted inside the tank, after almost 20 minutes we heard his shot again. See the joy and morale again in everyone's face.

We enter Baga and that was where they nicknamed him and that T72 tank Dodo.

Because they were ruthless and resilient there, and the ambush was crazy, Abu-Ali will just zoomed from his tank and release, the bomb will melt and destroyed everything there.

Immediately we captured Baga, it was like a task almost impossible to achieve.

The then COAS Lt Gen KTJ Minimah and CDS Alex Badeh came within few minutes, like they were all waiting just to hear the good /1

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Africa is not being underestimated by anyone. That is a dangerous misconception that I once had.

What is actually happening is that Africa is being deliberately underreported and suppressed from mainstream global news cycles because some powerful people need to keep it a secret that their dominance over the global economy as we know it is entirely built on extracting 100 for the price of 0.5 from Africa.

If that coup in Niger had never happened for example, we would never have known that France's famously cheap and plentiful nuclear energy which makes up 70% of its energy mix, and which it sells to the rest of Europe, was cheap and plentiful because Orano spent decades bending Niger over a barrel, paying the country 50 euro cents/kg for Yellowcake uranium when the market price was between €150 and €200/kg.

We didn't know this - but France and its EU collaborators absolutely did, which is why they're sponsoring EU resolutions condemning the AES every 5 minutes. They know exactly what they've lost!

The only people underestimating Africa are Africans - because we have no fucking clue what we are sitting on and we still get most of our information from predatory western sources. Don't get it twisted - everybody outside Africa who matters fully understands what Africa is, which is why Ethiopian Airlines keeps recording a new record profit every year, and it is building the world's largest airport in Bishoftu. Most of that traffic is not made up of Africans.

People from around the world don't stampede in such numbers into a continent that they "underestimate." We're the dummies chasing visas to go work for gold elsewhere while we inherited the entire fucking gold mine.

In Saudi Arabia, African students are heavily restricted from studying corporate leadership, medicine, high-tech engineering, and strategic technology. Yet they have full access to Islamic law and hardcore Wahhabism. I'm just wondering why.

@AbsoluteBruno 5-4. Y'all are ridiculous

[Field Marshal of the Han Dynasty @General_Oluchi]

It has always existed, just that social media is helping victims to tell their stories faster and unapologetically. Before social media, victims were taken to clinics for treatment, told “sorry,” and the rapist would quietly apologize or settle. That news never left the town. Those who were impregnated through rape were quietly married off to their raper. Live moved on.

[Hydra @XBrianDennis]

I can tell you this for free.

There are some situations where people can explain why a murder happened but there is none for rape.

“We were fighting and I pushed him and he fell and hit his head on a slab and died”

“He attacked my wife and I punched him and he died”

“He stole my life’s savings, I tracked him down and took his life”

So many murderers in prison have different excuses for why they committed murder. Could be revenge, could be a crime of passion, could even be an accident, could be self defense.

This is why nuance and context is considered during trials to determine whether a person is truly guilty and even the length of sentence the judge gives.

What you’ll never hear in your life is an excuse for rape.

“I was sexually frustrated and I would have died if I didn’t do it with her”

“I never nack for 3 months and my blood pressure was rising. She was the only one available”

“My penis has been erect for one week. I had to find a solution”

You see how foolish those things sound? That’s why you’ll never hear them because none of them are even near valid excuses.

There is 100% no justification for rape.

It is one of those crimes where the victim becomes a victim for life.

Some of us have had our pockets picked before and our phones and wallets stolen. We grieved over it, e pain us but eventually, we bought new and even better phones and moved on.

No one whose blackberry bold 3 was stolen 19 years ago still reflects about it and grieves over it. The person is no longer a victim.

But with rape, the victim is a victim forever. It is a lifetime of trauma.

IF A WOMAN SAYS NO, SHE MEANS IT. Leave her alone.

[Mayowa @Mayoveli]

And of course, this is the kind of random idiocy you get from people who constantly talk down on Pan-Africanism and insist that white people are inherently superior to Black people.

These people are completely delusional. They rarely think anything through, they simply blurt out whatever moronic impulse crosses their minds and mistake it for intelligence.

[Mayowa @Mayoveli]

Primitive accumulation of wealth.

And by the way, this is, by and large, how the wealth structures of most Nigerian politicians are built. This Malami guy is being punished more for his political choices than for the crimes he has committed.

Nigerian politicians are all criminals.
Their fortunes are so vast as to be almost incomprehensible when contrasted with the poverty of the masses they serve. Because that wealth is deeply tied to political office, they will do everything in their power to retain both the office and the privileged access it provides.

There's an unfortunate event I've been ffg on Facebook.

A 40 year old man lured a 20 year old lady, under the guise of account monetization.

He raped her violently. She couldn't bear the shame and committed suicide.

He's currently begging her parents for settlement.🤦‍♂

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

🎯 I have an aversion to excess chess analogies, but England going up a goal and then pulling back against Messi instead of continuing to attack was like going up a pawn and then trying to play passive defense against Mikhail Tal!

[........ @Ade_Sam_Ade]

@PASSARELLAshow @TouchlineX He was injured during the second game at one of those WCs. Didn't play

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

My God.

She made a video before she committed suicide.

How do you take advantage of someone like this?

She told you she was a virgin, she begged you.

These are cases where violent castration should be made legal because what in the heartbreak is this.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

I've seen Rinu make this statement a couple of times and I've seen Nigerian men attack her.

Without stuttering I tell you, your disagreement with the truth doesn't stop the truth from being the truth.

There is a rape culture in Nigeria. There is a degenerate culture that commonizes sexual assaults and mimizes the concept of consent.

It is prevalent and it is sickening.

Barely 24H ago, we saw a viral video of a man who thought it was within his rights, not only to pursue a stranger in love interest, but to slap her - on rejection. That is not a situational outlier.

It is common in schools, in the markets, at workplaces. It is not always aggressive, it is sometimes passive.

This unfortunate culture is platformed culturally and religiously. It is an entire conversation that we pretend doesn't exist until your men start going abroad to properly functioning justice systems.

The potential of a society to progress lies in its ability to confront boldly, it's dirty corners and address them draconically.

When the day comes to revisit false rape allegations, we will - as it stands today, the prevalent rape and sexual assault culture prevalent in Nigeria is our joint responsibility to condemn STRONGLY.

[Hadi @HadiNasrallah]

We prefer Trump in power because he says the shy part out loud. He doesn't sugarcoat or whitewash US foreign policy he just shows the world exactly what America's true intentions are. Other US presidents drop the same bombs on our cities and say it’s for our “freedom”

KENYA IS STILL PAYING THE PENSIONS OF BRITISH COLONIALISTS

According to Tom Ogada, an economic justice expert, speaking on Spice FM alongside Diana Gichengo of the Institute for Social Accountability (TISA), Kenya allocates approximately KSh39 million annually to pensions for former British colonial civil servants. While we have not independently verified the specific figure through official budget documents, Kenya does continue to pay pensions to some former colonial-era civil servants under its public pension system.

The revelation has sparked criticism on social media, with many Kenyan users expressing outrage that, more than 63 years after so-called independence, public funds are still being used to pay pensions to individuals who served the colonial administration. Some commenters described the continued payments as an absurd legacy of colonial rule.

The conversation highlights the absurdity of the current fiscal situation, with Gichengo pointing out that these payments are hidden in plain sight within the official budget books.

"We are very good," she remarked ironically, noting that while the government pressures citizens to pay more taxes, it continues to prioritise the financial comfort of former colonisers over the needs of the Kenyan people.

This segment serves as a powerful reminder of how imperial structures remain embedded in post-colonial governance, forcing nations like Kenya to continue subsidising their own historical oppressors under the guise of bureaucratic obligation.

It is also a striking example of why decolonisation is an economic necessity.

Jeffrey Sachs: MI6, DGSE, and CIA Can’t Stop Pan-Africanism This Time - That Era Is Over!

According to American economist and author Jeffrey Sachs, the first wave of Pan-Africanism which birthed African independence and liberation movements in the 2nd half of the 20th century, was stopped from outside through the combined efforts of the US, British and French intelligence services working together to ass*ssinate African leaders and disrupt the process of independent African state formation.

This interruption, Sachs says, is no longer sustainable because these intelligence agencies no longer have the power and the narrative upper hand, and Africa increasingly now has the ability to defend itself. Sachs advises Africa to focus on building out a continent-wide legal and infrastructural framework to boost cooperation and trade in such a manner that would create an economic miracle similar to that of China.

[Maxvayshia™ @maxvayshia]

These are people who have no fresh air to breathe.

These are people who don’t have clean and clear water to drink.

These are people who have to wake up 4am every morning to beat traffic to work, while we others are still asleep.

This is a city with arguably the highest crime rate in Nigeria.

These are the ONLY people living with the risk of waking up one morning under the Atlantic Ocean.

This is a city were Tinubu comes from.

This is the only city in Nigeria where you find landlords who build toilets in kitchens and charge 5M/year for 2-bedroom apartments.

Lagosians talk too much for people living like savages and smiling cos “it is the commercial hub or the country”.

A people with absolutely ZERO sense of correct self assessment.

[Confidence ☭ @cbginsight1]

The future of Nigeria will not be built by citizens who introduce themselves first by tribe or religion. It will be built by people who understand that exploitation has no ethnicity and liberation demands solidarity.
