Beyond the fact that its over 1000km border stretch with Libya is “HEAVILY” militarized, we are talking about 20,000 deployment along its border, Algeria has zero tolerance for terrorism.
They weren’t always like that. They learnt the very hard way.
From 1992- 2002 , there was a civil war against uprising “jihadist fighters” who wanted to topple to Government. This period was known as the “black decade”.
The citizens pampered these local terrorists because they felt they were helping topple a “corrupt” government, until these terrorists started killing civilians and journalists with reckless impunity.
Soon after, they ( terrorist group) lost public sympathy, and that changed the tides of the war and the outlook on terrorism forever in Algeria.
Today, citizens in Algeria will prefer a corrupt government to the alternative of an Islamist rebel.
Lesson for Nigeria:- I need the North to loathe terrorism the same way Algerians do. I need terrorists to loose public sympathy.
It starts from the communal conviction of ending terrorism.
To effectively address the challenges of terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria, it is essential to consider the implementation of laws that promote true federalism.
Enabling the states to have greater autonomy in managing their internal affairs may lead to sustainable solutions.
As the new year unfolds, it ushers in a wave of uncertainty in Nigeria's political landscape.
With the general elections just around the corner, brace yourself for a whirlwind of political drama, strategic maneuvers, and complex calculations.
.@POTUS “Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”
Truly, it's not what you say. But how you say it.
The guy and the lady responded differently to the same issue; “You! forgot my name”.
There are one or two lessons we need to learn from it, for both genders.
A young lady asks why she isn't getting dates from the men that she wants, and she immediately finds out why.
Sometimes a little more softness and a little less combativeness is all that is needed.

The frustration is growing because many feel the government rewards past critics instead of loyal supporters. As a result, some have started distancing themselves from the government in hopes of getting appointments, believing that loyalty no longer counts. This is an issue the government needs to fix for credibility and unity. As @DrJoeAbah says, my name is Mohammed Jammal and I know things. 😛
@whitenigerian I don't think any government can ‘satisfy all’ loyal supporters.
At most, the apex leaders of those loyal supporters will/or are already rewarded.
I hope this is not a political miscalculation. But if truly two oil wells are on that land;
Is it possible for Presco PLC to negotiate and vacate only the area where you have the oil well, and retain other parts of the company's property?
Then, we can have a WIN-WIN situation.
Just so you understand that Presco PLC is the largest Agriculture investment company in Nigeria domiciled in Edo State and has the most performing stocks in the Nigerian stock Exchange.
This is the same company property that Okpebholo has just revoked.
Presco PLC has been in operation in Edo State for 34 years and has employed thousands of Edo people directly and indirectly.
There's obviously a mental problem somewhere.

Almost every government in the world is 10x to 1000x stronger than all of its criminals combined.
The reason they don’t end crime is because they are colluded with it, or because they benefit from it.
You pick the reason.
Port Harcourt
To deter #BokoHaram and other jihadist groups in Nigeria—and to stop their massacres of Christians and threats against moderate Muslims— I advise the #Trump administration to establish an emergency base in #PortHarcourt, the main port city of the #Biafra region.
Such a move would enable the rapid deployment of international humanitarian aid, particularly assistance from American churches. President @realDonaldTrump has issued two strong statements condemning the jihadist attacks on Nigerian Christian communities and has directed the Secretary of War to prepare contingency plans for the “protection of communities” in Nigeria, should the federal government fail to stop the jihadists—as has been the case for years in northern and central Nigeria. In the meantime, targeted strikes against jihadist forces could also be considered.
