Boko Haram: Nija-born U.S Soldier Urges GEJ To Temp Suspend Gentility by Ochek: 11:59pm On Nov 16, 2014
A Nigerian-born U.S. Army Captain, Sunday
Adebomi, on Sunday said that war against Boko
Haram could be won if President Goodluck Jonathan
set aside his gentility.

Adebomi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Ado-Ekiti that the war could be won if the Federal
Government was determined to introduce a hard
stand.

“There are several ways of wiping out the sect and
end the killings. If government is determined to end
Boko Haram today it will be achieved.

“Who are those in the sect that dare face the
government? But unfortunately, I suspect there
are some bigwigs behind these people.

“Mr President is being too gentle in his handling of
the killings; but unfortunately, it is daily assuming
dangerous dimension; gentility cannot win the war.
“Although gentility is not a crime but Mr President
will have to be more aggressive because this is a
security threat to the entire nation.

“Mr President will have to take a stand on the
matter either to continue to tolerate the sect and
leave Nigerians to be mourning every day with the
several killings.

“Mr President should give a matching order to the
military to wipe them off once and for all.
“Not until a strong stand is taken Nigerians may
not be able to sleep with their eyes closed,” he said.
Adebomi said the military had been doing a good job
in the affected states but “they are fighting
unknown faces and faceless groups.

“Government will have to first identify the cause of
the problem, the root, sponsors, as well as where
and how these insurgents get their weapons.

“The security agencies do not also understand the
terrain they are fighting the war because most of
them are alien to the battle fields.

“They know nothing about the sect, how then will
they fight such war and think they will win; it is
difficult.”

The U.S. captain said he led over 5,000 U.S. soldiers
to war during the Pre-Mobilisation in 2010 and
expressed optimism that the sect could be wiped
out.

He said that the sect meant nothing to the Nigeria
security agencies if genuine commitment was there
adding, “all they need is the Presidential directive.”
He appealed to President Jonathan to read the riot
act to the governors of the affected states or be
made to face the wrath of the Federal government.
Adebomi said that the President could also compel
the governors in the states to account for each
soul lost to the insurgents.

“What am simply saying is that the matter deserves
an aggressive reaction; enough of a gentleman
approach, because you don’t dialogue with faceless
groups,” he said.

“The question we need to ask ourselves is: “When
will enough be enough?

I woke up this morning with this thought in my
mind asking Nigerians when enough will be enough.

“I ask the President when enough will be enough. I
ask members of the Senate and House of
Representatives when enough will be enough.

“Is it not time the government declared full state
of emergency in the affected region?
“Since this insurgency, what concrete intelligence
step has the government taken apart from fire for
fire exposing ill equipped military men and women to
excessive fire power of Boko Haram.

“Let us ask, when will enough be enough? Nigeria is
dripping blood on daily basis; it is time the
government woke up to its task.”

NAN reports that Adamawa, Borno and Yobe
states have been under the attack of the Boko
Haram insurgents, loosing several lives and property.

Adebomi hails from Ise-Ekiti in Ise/Orun local
government area of Ekiti and had been in the U.S.
Army for almost two decades. (NAN)

These are the same thing I have been saying ever since. Cos of 2015 elections GEJ is taking this thing "jejejelly" so as not to hurt the feelings of the Northerners. Remember all the accusations about attempted genocide by some Northern men and mostly APC pillars and e-warriors?
