The troops of 181 Amphibious Batallion, Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State While on peace mission to OKUOMA community in BOMADI LGA of Delta State were surrounded by some community youths and killed on Thursday, 14 March, 2024. The unfortunate incident occurred when the troops responded to a distress call after the communal crisis between the Okuama and Okoloba communities both in Delta State.
The reinforcement team led by the Commanding officer was also attacked, leading to the death of the Commanding officer, two Majors, one Captain and 12 Soldiers.
I was less than impressed. After walking a mere six miles covering two protests, I’d just settled down to watch to watch Manchester City versus Chelsea when I was told that pro-Palestinian supporters had illicitly ‘taken over’ Tower Bridge and the City Police were rushing to the scene.
I had earlier been just a few underground stops away in central London where two fairly innocuous protests had taken place. The first gathered near the BBC in Portland Place and was concerned with the desperate situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo where, reportedly, millions have died over the years.
The Met provided a ‘tape’ lorry which, by ‘rolling out’ tape along the route restricts the protesters the one side of the road. A number of traffic officers on motor-bikes were also provided to facilitate the march.

Readers may recall my latest article in Vigilance Security Magazine on the topic of the paper below: “Embracing Invincible Defense Technology For Lasting Peace - A Better Idea: Invincible Defense Technology.” Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) involves large groups practicing in unison the non-religious Transcendental Meditation (TM) and advanced TM techniques that harness group brain power. This approach is scientifically verified by extensive peer-reviewed research. Field-tested means have demonstrated IDT defuses societal tensions by producing a coherent super-radiance field effect that affects the consciousness of all within proximity of the group, thereby creating orderliness and harmony.

Trumpet blasts summoning all Nigerians to the construction site.
Throughout the length and breadth of Nigeria, the bugle is being blown to summon all Nigerians to answer this national call.
This call is to be Nigerian in all things Nigerian without recourse to ethnicity and violence; this call is to be humane in all things and be selfish in nothing.
*It is a summons to integrity, courage, to excellent service to humanity; this call is to every Nigerian to occupy their minds with serious things; to wipe out injustice and lay the foundation of an egalitarian society of fraternal proximity; to be punctual to work and to be committed to our employers.

The Nigerian spirit is the spirit that stirs up the best in Nigerians. It constitutes great visions and great dreams; dreaming big dreams and seeing to their realization; a giant will and a spirit of invincible determination; marvellous possibilities, resilience and boundless elasticity; bulldog tenacity of purpose; selflessness and loyalty to fatherland; the highest level of patriotism; giving God a prime place in the Nigerian mind and in national life; a strong abhorrence for religious bigotry and irreligiousness of religion; an enterprising and an inquiry mind; an excellent spirit; dedication and devotion to duty; a spirit so strong that it cannot be discouraged; the truth, without which a citizen is not free; fearlessness; confidence in self, the fatherland, humanity and posterity, yet very humble; a sense of nationalism rather than ethnicity; absence of avarice and thievery; honesty and integrity; a sense of community rather than individualism – being one’s brother’s keeper, creating a sense of sanity in one’s little corner in the midst of endemic or pervasive corruption; walking tall without entertaining grasshopper complex, the spirit to say to oneself after the accomplishment of a great task that the best is yet to come; the ability to recreate one’s world, where one is thoroughly dissatisfied; utmost enthusiasm rather grumbling; time consciousness rather than getting hooked to the so-called African time; a high sense of moderation instead of unbridled ostentation and acquisitive tendency; a great sense for details and observation; a sense of service rather than pecuniary consideration; observance of the country’s laws, and maintaining order in order to keep the peace.
The Nigerian spirit is to be cultivated and practised.

"Had Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas
Shown such an unparalleled restraint,
The Middle East would not be
The field of blood that it is today.
Had the US and Britain not lapsed into
Conspiratorial etcetera in the resolution
Of the war between Israel and Hezbollah
That senseless war would have ceased long ago."
VIOLENCE

“Come,” they say,
“let us destroy them as a nation,
so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
The land here is not for grazing
nor for colony,
nor for your habitation.
And you are not a part of the land here,
so are not part of our heritage and inheritance
Therefore, go away!

A Better Idea: Invincible Defense Technology
By Dr. David Leffler
In the midst of the devastating toll of the Israel/Gaza war, NPR journalist Carrie Kahn recently posed a poignant question to Israeli military officer Major Doron Spielman, reflecting the collective yearning for an alternative to escalating cycles of violence. Spielman's response, “If anyone has a better idea, I think we would love to hear it,” echoes the sentiments of many who have grown weary of the human cost of conflicts. Extensive peer-reviewed research and field-tests indicate that Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) is a transformative approach that can prevent and swiftly end conflicts.
Muslim views of Jews (2 of 2)

Jews are also mentioned in the Quran in unflattering comparisons with animals. In one verse (Al-Ma’idah 60), it says that God once metamorphosed some Jews into apes and swine because they had been disobedient. According to two other verses, disobedient Jews were metamorphosed into apes (Al-Baqarah 65; Al-A’raf 166). To this day, numerous Muslims refer to Jews as “the siblings of apes and swine,” disregarding the fact that the Quran made such references in respect of disobedient Jews, not of all Jews. The same goes for the Quran’s likening of Jews who disobeyed the Torah to donkeys (Al-Jumu’ah 5).

The 7th of October massacre by Hamas of unarmed Israeli civilians and the Israeli response thereto have led to widespread, mostly anti-Israel demonstrations in various parts of the world. It is quite remarkable that emotions seem to run particularly high whenever Israel is involved in some conflict. Nothing appears to provoke the ire of numerous people in different parts of the world more than the words “Jews” and “Israel.” This can be easily seen when we compare people’s reaction to conflicts that do not involve Israel to those that do.

When the righteous are in power, a nation rejoices and celebrates, but when the wicked - thieves, armed robbers, bandits, terrorists, kidnappers, kleptocrats, plutocrats, paedophiles, drug dealers, murderers, destiny, and hope killers are in power, a nation weeps, groans, moans, murmurs, complains and gnashes its teeth.
