The strategy behind this pick.
For some weeks now, I've been playing home or away, and cut 1 and 2 don commot my shirt 😂
So I decide to put eye down small and observe the draws, and I found out they all had similar pattern.
Instead of staking draw, I choose even, something more considerate 😂 this is my 1st trial and I'll be doing this everyday till we get them, no giving up. Max 26 games.
So buckle your seat belt 😂
Boko Haram insurgents attacked a Nigerian military position early this morning around 3 AM, and eight of our gallant soldiers tragically lost their lives.
This horrific attack can only happen due to a catastrophic failure of intelligence.
As someone who has extensively traveled and even lived in Northern Nigeria, I can tell you for free that the Nigerian state has absolutely no regard for the lives of our me in uniform. They treat frontline soldiers as disposable pawns on a chessboard of massive corruption.
Naturally, a military outpost is supposed to be the most fortified, impenetrable, and safest coordinate of any town that hosts it.
But the way it is set up in Nigeria is a total death trap and a tragic mockery of modern military architecture.
These military outposts are essentially nothing more than makeshift, vulnerable camps, lazily fenced with deteriorating cement bags filled with sand, patched together with cheap razor wire, and frequently plunged into absolute darkness the moment the sun sets because there is no reliable power supply to even light up the perimeter.
These military outposts in the North lacks helium-filled aerostat balloons equipped with high-definition thermal, infrared, and optical cameras that are considered a priority in advanced countries.
In any serious military operation, these tethered surveillance balloons are flown hundreds of feet above the base to provide constant 360-degree overwatch of the surrounding terrain.
They can pierce through the dead of night and heavy forest canopies. This basic, standard-issue setup would make it physically impossible for these terrorists to gather their forces, maneuver heavy technical vehicles, or set up deadly mortar positions undetected in the dark.
Along with the surveillance balloons floating in the sky, there are supposed to be acoustic and seismic sensors buried strategically across a wide square radius around these bases. These autonomous early-warning systems instantly detect the heavy vibrations and coordinated movements of insurgent convoys, motorcycle swarms, or stealth foot patrols approaching through tactical blind spots or low-visibility terrain, triggering the base alarms long before the first shot is even fired.
These defensive technologies are not science fiction, and they are absolutely not prohibitively expensive. The billions of naira that the Nigerian government is currently wasting to build luxury mansions for compromised judges, to purchase fleets of bulletproof SUVs for bloated lawmakers, and to fund frivolous presidential yacht budgets can easily purchase these exact surveillance systems en masse from defense contractors in China or Turkey.
It is a deliberate, calculated political choice not to properly equip these bases. The political elites in Abuja would rather watch our brave, under-equipped troops be slaughtered needlessly in their sleep by rag-tag militias than divert a single fraction of their looted wealth toward the actual preservation of human life and genuine national security.
We do not often talk enough about the psychological trauma carried by victims of kidnapping.
Some months ago, I met a Catholic priest who had just been released after spending more than a month in captivity. Physically, he was free. But emotionally and psychologically, the experience was still haunting him.
You could not make sudden loud noises around him. Every sharp sound startled him because, to his mind, it felt like gunfire all over again. Fear had settled deeply into his nervous system. At the time, he was already undergoing therapy to help him recover from the trauma.
Sometimes, when we discuss kidnapping, we focus only on the period of captivity and ransom. But many victims continue suffering long after they regain their freedom. Some return home alive, yet deeply wounded within.
This is why insecurity is not just a political issue. It is also a human and psychological crisis.
While South African Xenophobic mobs hunt and burn Nigerian businesses in Johannesburg, South African-listed Optasia, operating as Nairatime in Nigeria, led by one Bassim Haidar just burned airtime and data lending from inside Lagos.
They walked into a Nigerian court, got a suspension of an FCCPC regulation - aimed at introducing fair competition in the airtime and data borrowing space - and killed ordinary Nigerians' access to credit.
The lending program has stopped, which has affected people's lives.
While their countrymen hunt Nigerians in South African streets, Optasia hunts Nigerian financial freedom, stifling competition and forcing an imperialist monopoly.
And to the Nigerian judicial officials who enabled this, history is watching.

In 2013, 8-year-old Maria Chelysheva became the only survivor of her family after a cellar full of rotting potatoes released toxic gas inside their home.
Her 42-year-old father, Mikhail Chelyshev, wanted potatoes for lunch. When he entered the cellar where the potatoes were stored, he collapsed and died.
When his wife and son went down to see what had happened, they suffered the same fate.
Maria’s 68-year-old grandmother called for help, but before anyone arrived, she also entered the cellar. She never came back.
Investigators later said the potatoes had been stored in an enclosed space for too long and had decomposed, filling the cellar with toxic fumes.
The family had no idea something as ordinary as rotting potatoes could become deadly in a sealed room.
Maria survived because she was the only one who did not go inside.
Besides the fact that GUO has a track record of safety, they stood by us when we marched to Awkwuzu SARS in 2020 & sent free buses to pick up stranded & confused protestors after we were shot at.
Posterity will always be kind to them and their brand will forever blossom.
There are some very powerful people pulling the strings behind the scenes on this legal issue over airtime lending in Nigeria, trying to stick their straw into a market worth an estimated N400b annually. These people are close to the president, and are wielding tremendous power and distorting the entire economy in ways that would have embarrassed a post-Soviet Russian oligarch in 1994.
I’ve been actively aware of this matter for over two years now and the time may have come to tell the full story of how Idris Saliu Alubankudi, and his brother Shamsudeen Saliu 'Shamz' Alubankudi - both very close to Bola Tinubu and his family - have built one of the biggest and most powerful state corruption enterprises
in the entire history of Nigeria.
These men are attempting to capture the systemically important foundations of the entire Nigerian economy - specifically telecoms and ICT - and turn their 3 year-old corruption enterprise into a sort of Nigerian chaebol. You have never seen anything like it before.
You will be hearing the names 'Idris' and 'Shamz' a lot in the coming few days. Also don’t forget their family name 'Saliu Alubankudi.' It's an important part of the story.

When the Chibok girls disaster and insecurity were rampaging the north, you people called for Jonathan’s head. Since he was the chief security officer, and rightly so, we all demanded action from him.
Now this insecurity has worsened under this administration, yet you people say we should deflect responsibility to the governors instead?
Were there no governors during GEJ’s time? Make me understand quickly.
In 2014, our current president boldly stated that “on matters of security, the buck of the responsibility falls on the president’s table.”
He’s now the president and commander of a very powerful military. Stop these fucking terrorists!!!!!
