I once asked an Intel officer of the US Army who had worked with some SF guys in the Nigerian Army why it's been so difficult for us to defeat Boko Haram.
He said: “Thanks to poverty, religious fundamentalism and poor education, they can recruit faster than we can kill them”.
🗣️ Emmanuel Adebayor: "2010 yılında Togo milli takımı otobüsümüz Angola'da teröristler tarafından yaylım ateşine tutulduğunda koltuğun altına saklandım. Takım arkadaşlarım kanlar içinde yanımda can verdi. Tam 30 dakika boyunca ölümle burun buruna kaldım. Sahaya tekrar çıkabilmem tamamen Tanrı'nın bir mucizesidir."
That is why regional partnerships like the one between Buhari and Tinubu work better
Unapologetic Leaders of ethnic and regional strongholds that can work out an alliance are more potent than those who try to be loved by all sides
A relative of mine from to a reasonably prosperous family had started a posh restaurant in Hubli. He invested heavily, borrowed money from friends and relatives, and hoped the business would succeed. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Within two years, the restaurant was forced to shut down due to mounting losses. The debts kept piling up. Creditors began demanding repayment. Unable to see a way out, he left home and went underground as circumstances had overwhelmed him immensely. He was recently married then and thought of taking care while taking care of his wife and children should be his first priority. For years, he lived a modest life doing odd jobs, carrying the burden of failure and debt on his shoulders. Those who had lent him money continued to pursue him, and many believed his he might even take his life.
But life had other plans.A few years later, he joined hands with some friends and started a small-scale factory in Pune. This time, the business slowly gained traction. Through hard work, patience, and perseverance, it began generating steady profits. Over the next decade, he repaid every rupee he owed. Not a single commitment was left unfulfilled. Today, he owns a beautiful multi-storey house in one of the posh localities of Vijayanagar, Bengaluru.
Whenever I think about his journey, I am reminded of one simple truth: never make decisions based on temporary problems. Life can be brutally difficult, but it also gives people opportunities to rebuild, recover, and come back stronger. Hold on through the tough times. Your comeback may be closer than you think.
