A Thought, But Could All This Boko Trouble Have A French Connection? by Litmus: 7:37pm On Mar 16, 2013
The French have always had their eyes on Nigerian territory. I have a feeling they pushed Cameroon to pursue the disputed Bakasi. Borno state shares border with Cameroon. Not to mention the fishy kidnapping in Cameroon, so maybe all the strings are being pulled from Northern Cameroon, just a thought

The French wanted us in Mali. We send Soldiers to go fight in Mali when we're manpower short ,extremists boys slip in from Cameroon and attack us from behind.

I've always considered the Northern culture of Nigeria a huge asset. The Hausa kingdom largely occupied what is now Nigeria. There are little bits in Niger and Cameroon. If you're a Hausa stuck in that insipid country called Cameroon, wouldn't you want to belong to the more dynamic Nigeria? And If you couldn't, you might act like a spoiled brat and kick up a stink to get what you want because you were too proud to openly beg for it.

What they would like since they cant rejoin Nigeri would be a northern nation that encompasses Nigeria, Niger and Cameroon. And the french would gain from a diminished Nigerian influence and also a new nation under its influence.

Hmmm lipsrsealed



Nigerian town of Ganye hit by deadly attacks


The simultaneous attacks took place in Ganye, a remote town near [size=13pt]Nigeria's border with Cameroon[/size].

The attacks happened on Friday but the death toll was only reported on Saturday.

No group has said it carried out the attack but police said they suspected Islamist militants Boko Haram.

"We have 25 dead from yesterday's attacks in Ganye which included a chief prison warder, a policeman and a prominent politician," Adamawa state police chief Mohammed Ibrahim was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.

Strange, but did we not often hear tales of Cameroonian gerndarmes or godams whatever taking potshots at Nigerians in the border areas in Eastern Nigeria? These news were frequent and once or twice Nigerian soldiers were forced to exchange fire with them.I remember that often on forums Cameroonians would come on to boast and jib Nigerians about just how Cameroonian soldiers and gerndarmes dealt with Nigerians soldiers. The thing was, one got the impression that Cameroon authorities were ever watchful of Nigerians,if a Nigerians stepped out of place near their border, he would get shot at and often many died in this way.

So, my question now is how comes,so-called "Nigerian bokoharm,often flee into Cameroon but Cameroon authorities keep schtum? In fact, there are reports by the Nigerian military of Boko slafists fleeing in large numbers into Chad, Niger and Cameroon. Cameroon has gone so quiet, not a word, no boasting anymore, they are just silent.Why arn't they shooting these "Nigerian terrorist" fleeing into their country?
Re: A Thought, But Could All This Boko Trouble Have A French Connection? by Nobody: 12:37am On May 20, 2013
Maybe the Nigerian reports are false or all about propaganda or better the Cameroonian reports are posted in. Language that you don't understand...


Please deal with your insecurity and your hate toward Cameroon/Cameroonian...we are not responsible for your troubles, thank u
Re: A Thought, But Could All This Boko Trouble Have A French Connection? by Nobody: 12:44am On May 20, 2013
Your conspiracies theory doesn't even make sef...what does French or Cameroonian want to do with your North? If that's even the case why the Bokoharam doesn't ask the same things in their so called country of origin(Cameroun) are you aware that there's no sharia in Cameroon? Are you aware that Hausa are not indigenous in Cameroon and that Fulani make up only 10% of the pop? Are you aware that kanuri are not indigenous in Cameroon? So sir kindly stop pointing fingers, when Cameroon joined the multinational force you didn't open your mouth, now suddenly we are responsible of all the problems of Nigeria.

So Cameroon controls your politicians who were asking for amnesty right?

Woow seems like we are very powerful

Re: A Thought, But Could All This Boko Trouble Have A French Connection? by Litmus: 7:02pm On May 20, 2013
Hmm, contrary to what Nigeria claims, the French denied that they paid ransom to Ansaru in order to free hostages and Cameroon claimed that they freed no prisoners. How sweet, which means out of the kindness of their hearts, Ansaru freed the hostages. No wonder the Fairy God Mother suddenly rewarded Ansaru with fleets of vehicles which which they drove into Nigeria and totally destroyed an entire community, murdering 50 people in the process.

NIGERIAN MILITARY NO MORE THE NATION DEFENDERS..

1. THE NIGERIAN MILITARY TURNED INTO POLITICAL CHARLATANS OF GEJ ADMINISTRATION
2. BY USING THE MILITERY AND SECURITY SERVICES AS A TOOL TO ACHIEVE HIS DEVILISH AGENDA.
3. HARASSING, KILLING INNOCENT NIGERIAN IN A SIMPLE BID TO CURVE INSURGENCY (BH) CREATED BY SAME MAN TO ACHIEVE HIS AGENDA.
4. UNPROFESSIONAL APPROACH BY THE MILITARY TO TACKLE SMALL BUT ELUSIVE TARGETS LIKE BH GUERRILLA FIGHTERS

LONG LIVE NIGERIA

More fighting going on in Gamboru ngala border with Cameroon.


Possible instigators/ sponsors:

Saudi
Quarter
France
Drug Cartels South America

Pawns:

Cameroon
Chad
Niger


Solution:

Short term:

For now we fight terrorists. We facilitate this by increasing army size, (grunts,navy, air-force, drones) increase and professionalize police to a higher standard, train civilians in observation and community cooperation. Moreover, rebuild devastated communities to a higher standard than before because this will win hearts and minds of local communities and demoralize terrorists who thrive on the devastation they cause.


Long-term:

create border river. I know, lake chad is shrinking, desert encroaching in the north, but lakes are the way to go. Let us be innovative for once rather than always following the West and waiting for them to say or try something before we think its okay do do similar.Lakes will cost in the short term, people will lament, people will laugh, international community will draw up reasons why its no good, but the financial and political cost will be nothing compared to the cost to Nigeria of the coming anarchy as nations like Chad, Niger and Cameroon go nova.

People come on here to mock Nigeria, calling her failed state and so on, but you guys will see what failed state really means in the coming decade.



Build Lakes,even small small at first will cut down easy routes into Nigeria.

[size=13pt]Sahara militant Islamists 'merge'[/size]








An al-Qaeda-linked group led by Algerian militant Mokhtar Belmokhtar says it has merged with another group to take revenge against France for its military campaign in Mali.

Belmokhtar's Masked Men Brigade and the Mali-based Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao) have formed Al-Murabitoun, a statement said.

In July, the US offered a $5m (£3.2m) reward for Belmokhtar's capture.

He is accused of masterminding a deadly siege at an Algerian plant in January.

The US has charged him with hostage-taking, kidnapping and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction.

Three US citizens were among at least 37 hostages killed when Algerian troops stormed the Tigantourine plant to end the siege.

In May, Mujao and Belmokhtar's group jointly carried out twin suicide attacks in Niger on a military camp and a French-run uranium mine, killing 25 people.
'Routing France'

"Your brothers in Mujao and Al-Mulathameen [Masked Men Brigade] announce their union and fusion in one movement called Al-Murabitoun to unify the ranks of Muslims around the same goal, from the Nile to the Atlantic," the groups said in a statement published by Mauritanian news agency ANI, which is often used by the militants to communicate.

Command of Al-Murabitoun, an Arabic phrase meaning "the sentinels", has been ceded to "another personality", the statement added.

He is believed to be a non-Algerian jihadi who fought in Afghanistan, ANI reported.

The jihadist movement in the region was now "stronger than ever" and it would "rout" France and its allies, the statement said.

France led an offensive in January to recapture northern Mali from the militants, who had ruled the north for about eight months after taking advantage of the chaos caused by a coup.

They have since retreated to their desert hide-outs and towns and cities are now under the control of Malian and UN troops.

A 12,600-strong UN force is being deployed to Mali, as France begins to pull out its 3,000 troops.

Belmokhtar was a former leading figure in al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) but he later formed the Masked Men Brigade, which is also known as the Signed-in-Blood Battalion and the Khaled Abu al-Abbas Brigade.

Mujao was formed in 2011 to spread jihad across West Africa and it believed to be a well-disciplined group.

It is thought to be led by a Mauritanian ethnic Tuareg Ahmed Ould Amer, who goes by the nom de guerre "Ahmed Telmissi", the AFP news agency reports.

[size=14pt]The rights group Amnesty International says the killings of schoolchildren in Nigeria show an absolute disregard for the right to life and education [/size]

In a report it says hundreds have been killed in attacks by militants and thousands have been forced from school.

On Sunday up to 50 students died when militants attacked an agricultural college in northern Nigeria.






All suspiciously bordering Cameroon. Nigeria needs to develop and improve spying capabilities. We need spies working in Cameroon, Niger, Chad and elsewhere.

In my own opinion, while it is sensible to suggest that the French always tries to bedevil the unity of Nigeria, it might be too hasty to conclude that they are involved in the bokoharam menace. They would have been more pre-emptive by causing BH to strike any region beyond the Northern zone to cause a divide. The BH menace looks to me like a home grown ideological conurbation that seeks to enforce a section's will on all other parts of d country all together. BH hasnt striken d south not because of the later's formidable security outfit but because of a bigger picture to enforce their ideals, politicaly and religiously on the entire nation.

Perhaps; although there's the obvious counter that they - French -might have miscalculated that they need only stoke the flames in one region to engulf the entire nation in an inferno. Besides, history is still unraveling i.e the fires may yet spread from the north to engulf the entire nation and it may still come to pass that another front is opened in the south.

Some might also argue that the French have too much investment in Nigeria to jeopardize it by orchestrating clandestine movements aimed at destabilizing the region. And yet the CAR is a vast cash cow as things stand now.


Which reminds me, do you know that the French are already saying that they worry that a corridor is opening in northern Cameroon along which Bokoharam might travel to establish a presence in the CAR?

Nigeria should watch this because it seems like an excuse in the making. For if renegades from the CAR are clandestinely bussed in to fuel the unrest in Northern Nigeria, the world will be mislead into suggesting that they are not payed foreigners but returning an invigorated Boko haram fighters.

Some might argue that all this kidnapping is rather convenient for France. France quickly pays ransom,which some might view as a subversive means of funding terrorism in Nigeria.
