I know we are battling boko haram now but the egyptain is right.ISIS spreads fast like cancer they have infested libya and nigeria is not far behind.Imagine if they over run niger and joins boko haram na gobe be that ooh.

Is better we spare some forces to contain isis in libya before they spill over.If you look at the map you will agree with me that isis is not far from our shores

ozoigbondu:


What will happen when formiable isis teams up with rag tag boko haram Nigeria will be screwed over and over again is better they are confined to libya now am sure we have enough troops to spare

Nope!! Nigeria barely has good defensive capabilities, and totally lacks the projection power to launch a strong offensive capable of stopping ISIS outside the Nigerian borders.

A country has to access its capabilities before deciding how to respond to a foreign treat. Should Nigeria go up against ISIS, it will the first unaffected country to do so... I don't think you have an idea of what you're talking about.

Many countries close to ISIS controlled areas like Turkey (a very powerful NATO country) Jordan, Iran dread confronting ISIS on the ground, so they use air strikes. These people are not fools

The best Nigeria can do now given its weakness militarily, is to annihilate boko haram quick enough & set up very solid defensive lines (something like a buffer zone) to protect the country just like others are doing.

This is the only option for Nigeria.

Please they should leave us out of that fight o. We re still battling BH here and we've not succeeded to take on another.

OmoUSH:

So because China and Russian will support d fight against ISIL, the almighty lord of the entire universe, America, will ''also fall in line"? How old are u anyway? Let little children stay away from international politics.

Shut up! ISIS only controls a small city in Libya close to the Egyptian border, Boko haram controls an area the size of Belgium in Nigeria and are also active in cameroon, chad and Niger.
ISIS is child's play compared to boko haram.

Abeg we still have a war in our hands now. Make we tidy boko finish first before going after their master.

Augustine of beegeagle suggested that Nigeria should either have mine fields in all border towns in the northern part of Nigeria, dig trenches or build high walls. I think that's what we should do immediately this war is over. Also we should continue arming ourselves like the Algerian's are currently doing. We can do it.

Fighting against ISIS is a no no for me. Let's have minefields in all border towns in Nigeria and let's see how ISIS army will sneak into Nigeria unnoticed without our formidable and we'll armed army/airforce challenging them.

50calibre:
This Egyptian ambassador must be anti-Nigerian for wanting the ill-trained & ill-equipped Nigerian militia to go make themselves slaughter lambs for ISIS.

How can a militia so incapable of defeating a rag-tag outfit like boko haram face a far more formidable force like ISIS.

Except anyone wants to see the severed head of Nigerian soldiers hanging on spikes, this suggestion is dead on arrival, no Nigerian soldier is stup*d enough to embark on this suicide mission.

You are not far from terrorist's member. Security security should close on you

Oh that's fair enough!! However, I'm still skeptical about Nigeria getting involved in air strikes.

Why hasn't Nigeria utilised these air strikes against boko haram?

Air strikes are really not that easy as it sounds, the major task is identifying targets, who's going to do this?

Then with a well armed group like ISIS, there's the threat of anti-aircraft guns, missiles... What's the most powerful jet Nigeria had in its fleet? ISIS will pick them off the sky like birds (bear in mind Libya is loaded with heavy arms left over from Ghadaffi era, arms supplied to them by the west)

Do you recall what happened to the Jordanian fighter pilot who crashed in ISIS controlled territory?

papaejima1:

Bros, you are a learner!
Why is almighty America negotiating a withdrawal from Afghanistan after a decade of flailing in the desert?
Why are they failing in containing them in Iraq and why did the US trained Iraqi Army fall like a sand castle against a band of ISIS fighters?
Why is Almighty America falling into line by negotiating with Iran on their nuclear program and collaborating with them secretly to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria?

provide answers to those and you would be considered worthy of further response from me. Else, shut it!

IbnSultaan:
. Pal. It is important we stop the enemy before it gets to us. Infact we help create ISIS in libya along side NATO by voting yes for nato air raids against Ghaddafi
ISIS is a serious threat to us and the stability of Africa. it is already clear that libyan weapons are in hands of BH
AU should rise. SouthAfrica and egypt have good air fire power
Nigeria along side kenya can help with ground troops to contain the threat
