RE the CNN report, we are the architects of our own fate because our people try too hard to be compliant. Demoralising our troops from the same Maiduguri made accessible on account of the security provided by Nigerian troops? Is it not time the FG declared Borno and Yobe off limits to foreigners, given the real possibility that they could get kidnapped? Imagine if it were Egypt or Algeria conducting military ops in a conflict zone, would they allow any busybody foreign journalists in there? How many reports from the Sinai Peninsula have you seen on TV? Honestly, we are a tad too weak-willed to do the expedient. What is that reporter doing lousying about in MDGR? Was that not the same way purported soldiers with backs turned to the camera told Al Jazeera two years ago that they saw 3,000 persons killed by Nigerian troops in one Borno town and it reverberated worldwide? Today, it has become fashionable to say that the latest Baga massacre which purportedly claimed 2,000 lives is the worst outrage of the entire war? What happened to the old record of 3,000 persons killed by Nigerian soldiers in a Borno town as claimed by Al Jazeera in 2013? 1 Like |

What I will say though, is that some of us who come here to constantly complain about the perceived state of Nigeria need to reexamine their viewpoint. Nigeria is currently fighting against forces you wouldn’t believe – Boko Haram is just a small manifestation of what certain global powers wish this country to be reduced to. Actually, compared to the hundreds of millions which have been poured into the physical and media/PR campaign against Nigeria, Nigeria has held it’s own pretty solidly. I may not be a military expert, but I am a PR expert and so I know a concerted PR campaign when I see one. Certain Western government elements and their allied business interests are currently running a full scale psychological warfare operation against Nigeria. This is why all manner of myths, exaggerations and ridiculous lies about Nigeria and Boko Haram are consistently recycled and repeated despite an abundance of easily available evidence to the contrary. If you come here and accuse Nigeria and its Armed Forces of “corruption” all the time and tell yourself that this is “constructive criticism”, then you are actually a success story for their psy-op. “Corruption” is NOT Nigeria’s main or only narrative. In that larger scheme of things, there are more serious problems. Corruption is not the formidable behemoth it is resented as. In certain “advanced” forms of communication practice, there is something known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This is a process whereby words are repeatedly mentioned and reinforced so as to become “triggers” to act or think in a certain way. NLP is being practised on Africans, but particularly on Nigerians on a very large scale. “Corruption” has become a very powerful trigger word. Just like how someone from the cult of David Koresh or a Jehovah Witness or a Mormon is ‘triggered’ to think or do certain things at the mere mention of the phrase “God’s Kingdom”, likewise at the mention of the word “corruption”, Nigerians are trained to mentally recoil and shut down their rational thought. Nowadays even Nigerian soldiers have been affected by this NLP and we have seen these situations where some Young Turks on the frontline decide to disobey their CO’s because the association of the word “corruption” with their superiors has convinced them that their superiors are sending them to face nuclear armed opposition with sticks and stones – whereas this manifestly is not the case. “Corruption” has become Nigeria’s no 1 national trigger word and dissociation complex. I only have to ACCUSE a public official or a military officer of “being corrupt” and immediately his reputation is damamged forever. This is VERY dangerous and you don’t need me to tell you why. A study of South America in the 20th century and the Arab nations more recently should reveal how effective the use of trigger phrases and national psyche-complexes is in foisting Western-sponsored regime change on countries. Before you drop a comment here or on twitter or on nairaland or on SSC, or even on Cybereagles, make sure that what you post is in our national interest first. Don’t unwittingly let yourself be used as a proxy propagandist on behalf of forces which hate Nigeria. Just like we all understand the importance of not spreading BH propaganda for them, we should be informed that there are other forms of anti-Nigeria propaganda which some of us are actively and unwittingly spreading online and in person. This needs to stop. This is the only country we will ever have. 1 Like |

When the Army Chief commissioned a military uniform manufacturing plant last year some of us were critical of it thinking the money should have gone into weapons. This blog carried the news item or related discussion as part of a long thread that I can’t remember the title. However I assure you that there is a uniform and kit manufacturing plant working full blast. Some classes of bullet proof vests and the war food MREs are also made in Nigeria. I am sure the ‘soldier’ interviewed is currently not in service. He was either sacked for desertion, cowardice or insubordination and if you listen careful to the interview you may make that deduction. 1 Like |

the problem still remains that the cnn story is not actual not informatation, it is rather a fabricated story. The last true western journalist was Gary Web, the way the entire US media ganged up on him and destroyed his life should serve as an indicator to who we are dealing with. This is what they do. They make up stoies and repeat them over and over. They have graduated from ganging up against individuals to ganging up against Nations. It is funny that some of us might think these guys are credible while their own people have totally lost faith in them. Relying on foreigners to tell your own stories is not done anywhere else on the planet, guess why ? And Dicon is working verry fine. 2 Likes |

My Oga’s, sorry for the distraction, but what does Chads sending a large troop contingent to help Cameroon fight boko haram mean for our strategies? It seems very suspicious, especially when it seems Nigeria is about to launch a big offensive. Could this be an attempt at a counterpoise? http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/01/16/nigeria-violence-cameroon-idUKL6N0UV02720150116 |

CHAD+CAMEROON ALLIANCE 1. It reinforces the reality that we were and still are on our own. 2. France gave the word of command for Chad to harmonise their efforts with those of Cameroon. France are probably going to leave the Africans to fight on the ground while handling intel and recce, providing CAS and directing the spec ops. This is Mali all over again. But Chad are emboldened this time only because France are probably going to be more deeply involved (remember that the Chadians pulled back from KIDAL after their troops got killed by suicide bombers citing unpreparedness for that kind of warfare). 3. Chad and Boko Haram are now inevitably on collision course. The “understanding” is over 4. France can probably see that Nigeria are arming up and will certainly go on a majot offensive which could send BH into exile in Cameroon. This is an effort to strengthen Cameroon’s hands ahead of any eventualities. If they cross over to that country, BH shall either get attacked or be aided to fight back (you heard me…I do not trust any of those shifty neighbours. They really want Nigeria to stew in her own juice) 5. We are on our OWN. Whether we have to go into a lend-lease arrangement with Russia for weaponry (they are training SF commandos for us at this time) or get China to emplace a solar-powered electric fence in the far northeast, we MUST very seriously focus on the task at hand. This war is now ours to win, prolong or lose. We must pretend that we have no neighbours to support our efforts and directly counter any manifestation of that isolation. We are indeed on our own. IF the French involvement amplifies problems for us, SINGLE MINDEDLY turn to China and Russia to counter the nuisance they pose and restore our leading edge. Both nations are militarily more powerful than France in every way. We can only suffer if we dither as always or act timidly. The advancement of our enlightened self-interest should now be of the utmost importance. China are the reason why small North Korea HAVE TO be reckoned with..Russia are the reason why tiny Syria have to be reckoned with. We spend every minute mooning over our perennially treacherous relations with supposed partner nations in the West. For the duration of this war, let us graft our skins to those of one REAL partner, be that China or Russia and see if we do not force a favourable outcome on account of that weighty alliance which would even yield First World-grade military hardware such as would make everyone sit up and take notice. Militarily, they will take us much further than any of the control freaks in the West who we imagine to be DEFSEC partners. For the LAST TIME, Nigeria must never again maneouvre herself into a position of military weakness. The FRANCE we worry about so much, Algeria armed themselves so well and purposefully that they are sure to exact a very heavy toll on them, if they attempt to impose their will on Algeria militarily. How did we fall so low? For all our endowments, how come we have not made ourselves look that formidable? Wow, we have really been asleep and we have a nauseating habit of running after those who demean us and our sovereignty while leaving those who can best serve our interests, out cold and in the lurch. It has to be a very bad case of an inferiority complex or lack of vision or both. Certainly, 170 million or more of our 180 million citizens are absolutely undiscerning simpletons. Maybe that is why we put every foot wrong. We spent decades pretending to be a pacifist nation so that we earn cheap plaudits and validation from Western nations. That lack of national resolve has left us without something as simple as a comprehensive national air defence coverage. Tanzania nearly have that – on a US$41bn GDP. North Korea, also in that income bracket, CLEARLY have total coverage and will exact a steep price from any aggressors in the air. Algeria have it. So do Syria, Burma and Iran. All those self-respecting nations realised that the West never help to make any nation strong so that any nation can be invaded whenever they cannot bend your will and those capabilities were put in place for these developing countries by Russia and/or China. We threw ourselves cheaply at the West and are still trying to force ourselves on them. What do we now have to show for it at H-HOUR? We should be ashamed of ourselves for real. IF we had long since acquired our submarines, frigates, Su-30s/JF17s, Oplot MBTs, T90 tranks, BM-30 Smerch etc from elsewhere, this same prevaricating West would JUMP at any opportunity to regain relevance in our DEFSEC affairs, including selling offensive hardware to us. They can afford to take us for granted ONLY because we made ourselves available too cheaply. Na so e be. If una like, mek Naija nuh wake up. 2 Likes |

those in charge of PR for the military sucks. There is a major disengagement between the military and the Nigerian porpulace. In the U.S millions of dollars are spent promolgating an idea that there is a global battle between the forces of good and bad, Axis of evil vs the Free world. Any major military campaigne comes with an official name : Operation Desert Strom, Enduring Freedom, Valiant Shield. During the gold war there were special centers where Citizens can donate whatever they want to those ”Fighting for the freedom” they cherish. Every week boxes of Ice Creams, drinks fruites, food etc are supplied to the soldiers in the front with personalised notes like ”Thank you, because of you i am free”. Any soldier will be ready to lay down his life for the country becausethe support they receive from the people is overwelming, it makes it worth fighting for. Enter Nigeria, till date i can tell you i have no idea what the military is actually doing in the North East, ”Operation make we dey see”? Zero strategy, zero long term thinking, zero back up plans, zero objective. In the battle of ideology Boko Haram is winning yet we have a multi million dollar committee tasked with maintaining relations between the Civilian populace and the government. With these latest delivery not many people will realize that the Nigerian airforce is in effect larger than the South African airforce. SAAF have just 6 operational Gripens in its inventory, they were forced to mothball over half its Gripen force due to budget constraints, they have just 6 Rooviak in its inventory despite the fact they have one of the most advanced defense industry in the world. Companies like Dennel have no equal in Africa. When it comes to airlift capabilities the South Africans are basically rookies with just 2 operational C-130 Hercules in service vs Nigerias compliment of Aeritalia G.222, SA 330H Puma, Lockheed C-130 Hercules. In air and see surveillance capabilities the SAAF is even more behind and the Nigerian Navy is quickly catching up with the SA Navy, if indeed as Oga Beeg postulated Submarines are coming then the Nigerian Navy will be ahead in all aspect except maybe for training. Paradoxically analysts say Nigerias military is no where near its former capability due to corruption and negligence hence we having a hard time with Boko Haram,..yet paradoxically never in the history of the Nigerian armed forces have there such advanced systems from Naval platforms to surveillance systems and Helicopter gunships..Imagine an airforce with 40 Helicopter gunships, Nigeria has the largest and most modern attack helicopter fleet in Africa. The Alpha Jet as far as im concerned is a trainer not a fighter but even 12 F-7’s with its advanced SY-80 pulse doppler radar is more than what the Cameroonian airforce can muster, when you add the incoming squadron size unit of JF-17 it gets even more interesting. In a nutshell while the Nigerian army have never seen such defeat the Nigerian military has never had such a large compliments of weapons system and this is just the beginning. Why are we still having a hard time containing Boko Haram? our existing weapons system is more than sufficient. I am begining to think maybe perhaps there are political intricasies attached to it cos it logically doesent make sense to have Africa’s largest and most armed armed forces being defeated and chased around by a bunch of thugs with truck mounted anti aircraft guns, even if used in a ground trajectory the entire Boko Haram armour can be wiped out by a single cluster munition or a bunch of M-24/35 HELICOPTERS. Those ATR surveillance aircrafts needs to be retrofitted with guns,..take a look at the USAF Spectre gunship, that’s basically a cargo plane with artillery on it. We need to win this war or reduce Boko Haram back to its pre-2008 capability before they claim more territories. The West will be all too pleased to see Nigeria fall, especially now that they do not rely on our oil imports anymore. Operation Barbarossa. 2 Likes |

Some years back we keep saying they want our oil thats why they want to divide us Can we say that again 2day?America no longer buying our oil. The issue of corruption in the system is new? Can anybody put his or her head on the line to say no corruption in the navy,police or army? Why have we no defeat boko Haram? with the same army that have done wonderfully well in Liberia , and other countries? The defense for like 5years what are they using it for? I am very sure police men dont get uniform from the police,i am very sure of this.. who stop the investigation the house wanted to carry out about this issue of corruption in the force? if your cloth is dirty and somebody is telling your cloth is very dirty. i dont think you should start fighting the person. just try next time to keep your cloth clean.
