GEJ, As a Zoologist, You know better than a lot of us regarding Nature Conservation, Depletion of Natural Fishing Stocks, etc!
I would want you to take up Environmental Protection as your Pet Project!
Let your Training come to bear in the Life of the Nation!

Champion Laws against Illegal Logging (Which has Destroyed a lot of Forests in my Village), Oil Clean-Up, Animal Rights, Illegal Fishing, etc
These Policies may look small to you, and don't seem to be a Priority compared to the 2015 Election and co. But hey! Who knows the Friends you'll make in the International Community when they see you as a Man committed to a Green World!
The World is going green and Green Leaders are World Darlings!

Good Morning, Great Nigerians! May God Protect and Bless Your Families and Bring Peace to CAR, South Sudan,Syria, and Fallujah!

Idoma Likita: My Sadness is that even the people Battling GEj are no better than him in terms of World view!
Donald Duke and Fashola are the Only Global Thinkers I've seen in Nigeria's Political Scene 4 a While!


GEJ is really proving his Sceptics Right by thinking like any other Nigerian Village Politician( anybody that isn't singing you praises is your enemy)!

With a Vast Treasury at your Disposal and a Young Population, I expect to see you on Aljazeera and CNN Weekly catching the World's attention with Radical and Popular Policies (Make We the Masses Kill Ourself for you)!
You rode into Aso R
ock on a Popular Mandate for Christsake! It was a BLANK CHEQUE to do and Undo!
Youth comes with Radicalism, Yours is Drab like an Old Man! Perhaps your association with Old Men with Urinary Incontinence is rubbing off on you! What are you doing with Obj and Bamagar Tukur? (Old Men wey u no get talk with), Instead of Anchoring Younger and More Dynamic Minds (Not Abati and Reno oh!)

I still believe You can Re-invent yourself this year sha! Better take a Trip to a Calm Carribean Island, Think about your Life for 2weeks(ALONE without Mummy) then come back and Repackage Yourself!

Advice no be Curse!

Asemo11: lol I sight u nice write up

owobokiri: It is also about time Nigeria starts changing some Head of States in Africa especially the french puns in Cameroun and Chad and CAR them. There is no reason whatsoever to allow Biya in power tormenting Nigeria endlessly for over 3 decades when a colonel could be recruited to put camerounians out of their misery. Nigeria is supposed to be in control of these flanks with friendly cheif executives since the french always use them as launching pads to influence policies here as was shown at Bakassi. We even have one village head at Equetorial Guinea deporting Nigerians whenever he gets upset. That is a fairlure of Nigerias foeign policy. Nigeria is growing in size and influence, it is time to biuld a buffer against more powerfull countries with vaulting imperialist ambitions.

ISpiksDaTroof:

Ummm... yeah....

Your country's waterways is being "defended" by rebels, thugs, and so-called freedom fighters on the orders of Your current President. They are even paid billions of dollars for this security breach.

Vote GEJ till 2099 and beyond.

Knowing what I know now, I have no qualms against the Pipeline Protection Deal, However Govt should have established a New Branch of the Armed Forces (eg the Republican Guard of Iran, National Guard & Coast guard of the US, etc) then draft in the Ex-militants and other Land-based Militants thus Legitimizing their Role!
These Departments could be Supervised by the Ministry of Defence and the Quota should be 70% Indigenes!
Checks and Balances (eg Periodic Transfers) can prevent them from being too Powerful as to to threaten the State!

There are Always Civilized way of Doing Things!
After all, Most Armed Forces are Groups of Thugs whose sole aim is to protect an existing Regime!

DerideGull: Nigeria is a fraud. It lacks the fundamentals Senegal has in abundance such as unity and patriotism. Nigeria can not survive a sustainable police action from another country.

Idoma Likita: And the So-Called Personnel Trained to Protect the Waterways are drawn from Human beings in Communities and not from OuterSpace!

When such Personnel cannot effectively deliver on their Statutory role, it becomes imperative to deploy a Plan B.

Pakistan has a Paramilitary Organisation which has been doing pretty well in complementing the Armed Forces!
They were recruited from Restive Pakistani Areas(eg Swat Valley), trained, re-oriented and redeployed, and they've been effective in curbing the Taliban due to their Excellent Knowledge of the TERRAIN!

As per being a Security Risk, A Poorly Trained, Poorly Renumerated, and Grossly Corrupt Armed Forces is in itself, a Security Risk to a Country( eg the NA being Compromised by BH)

BTW: Until Recently, even in the almightly US, Servicemen pledged allegiance to the PRESIDENT of the United States of America Not the Country as a Whole!(So in effect, pledging to protect his regime)

What do you call the ex-militants protecting the Pipelines now? Mercenaries, Security Consultants? Govt Militia? Or What?

Its easier to Control an Organized Force than a disorganized one (look at Djotodia and Seleka)

We Seek Solutions, Not Condemnation!
Mistakes have been made and will continue to be made, the way forward is all there is!

ISpiksDaTroof: Pakistan?!

Bro, u'll have to look for someone else to debate you on this issue.

P.S: As per the U.S Army... try to stay on course in this argument and stop diving into unfamiliar waters.

owobokiri: There is also the regretable cases of Nigerias military involvement elsewhere , especially in Africa and our inability to leverage those actions to further the countrys political and economic influences atleast within the continent. When Nigeria went to Sierra Leoen, she lost men in thousands , even the field commander later died of his wounds from the battle. Abacha was the c in c and did his best to impose pro Nigerian presidents there. But immidiately the bitter parts of the struggle were over, the ever cunny british under one Tony blair managed to get involved and utilised their vast media presence to claim the efforts. Today british technocrats are all over Freetown cornering juicy mining contracts while Nigerian busineses walllow in penury. It is the same in Liberia and Guinea. We cant contineu to operate from a 'big brother' prism. That time is gone. If we sacrifice men and resources as we did in those places, there must be a very strong plan to sign military agreements with those countries as well as economic agreements that will not just favour Nigerias businesses but also help reinforce the Nigerias military capabities for future foreign battles. There must be something there for the country.. We dont have to be selfish but we must find a way to ensure that the success of these interventions translates to a healthy gain for the countrys reputation abroad and solid oppurtuinities for her businesses.
