Do I give a Bleep about what you believe, if you're feeling pained or pressed go create a thread where you discuss such issues. Just stop derailing the thread.

Time will tell.....
Let's hope it will be good news..... probably our soldiers will repell the attack.

[s]I dont expect you to be smart enough to understand that what is happening now have wider implications, with ISWAP having photo sessions with our trucks, APCs, mortar and SF rifles, it means that Nigeria and the whole of Sahel region is at a huge risk of foreign invasion.
This is how it will play out;

Nigeria with its huge population will continue supplying fighters in droves for ISWAP, hitting military targets monthly will continuously supply them with arms & equipments, stolen APC's will make subsequent hits easier (already playing out), it's just a matter of time, their operations will grow beyond the NE, stretch into the NW to connect the Lower Sahel, to continue feeding and raising funds through Jizya tax, Kano will go but im certain they won't want to push southwards but northwards for obvious reasons.

I hear the ignorant arguement of ISWAP wishing to control territories, they learnt some lessons in the Arabian peninsula and will not make that mistake again, for west africa, its a mobile force with capability to take out government presence and take control of civil rule, extorting businesses and civilians, any attempt to dislodge them will be met with stiff resistance from nowhere after which they disperse and become civilians once again, several intels have confirmed this.

You may argue that you stand a chance of taking out their equipments with air strikes, make no mistakes, with the last attempt to capture an MLRS, all its rockets were taken, so far, ISWAP is utilizing those rockets in an improvised fashion, you still cant guess the end of this road? they are coming for our Roland it is just a matter of time, how effective will our airforce be afterwards?

The next phase will be consolidating their gains by taking control of businesses, factories, industries in controlled regions, that will get the attention of the security council who won't wish them to be more financially capable but first of all sanction Nigeria with an arms embargo for aiding ISWAP, Nigeria becomes glaringly inefficient and helpless that will be the only justification they need to invade Nigeria and closely expand their global reach.
The Sahel region has a lot of uranium deposits, the security council will never allow any of it to fall into ISWAP's hands even if it means destroying Nigeria, with these interests at the back of our minds, gentlemen, they are coming.

Denying the realities of the next decade is not in anyone's interest except you dont stay in Nigeria, what must be done is report this situation to the security council and log it in as a growing global threat to be countered, Nigeria must swallow her pride and request for an arms recovery taskforce, a pocket size modern foreign special forces & equipments mixed with our guys that are good enough and monitored by the security council, their objective will be to recover or destroy anything these guys take, it could be a one nation action plan or a coalition of nations.

Our guys in foreign affairs are not making this move now because the military consistently lives in denial, we always argue if the CIC is onboard of this development. What is happening in Nigeria has serious global consequences.
You can not do anything in Foreign Affairs if the guys on ground keeps pushing out pleasant narratives, the time to act is now.

Nigeria has almost contracted out her infrastructure to China to the extent that 50% of our recurrent expenditure go to them, our guys in Foreign affairs can bring this deal to china already looking for a launch pad to protect her vast interest in Africa, this could be the deal China is waiting for, by limiting it to a task force, CAATSA provisions will not be violated & Nigeria's interest in the SC protected.

This proposal will have serious political consequence no doubt but I bet it's nothing compared to the political consequence of a UN arms embargo and western invasion. we must choose the less of both evil.

God bless Nigeria!!!

EVarn:
Your proposal is absolutely preposterous!.

It undermines our fundamental principles as a democratic nation, and ultimately, our sovereignty. The political consequences of what you are suggesting is best imagined. If anyone in government were to push for such a plan,I would recommend immediate neutralization of such a person. Are you even a Nigerian at all?.

I think you are blowing things out of proportion. The suggestion that we should parcel out the country to the UNSC and foreign powers as a solution to this crisis is way overboard. ISWAP can be defeated by the Nigerian military if the right things are put in place.

You have no clue what is coming!! save this post and make sure you dont lose it. Do you think you will be given the chance to put the right things in place? .

Do you sincerely believe any nation not on that 5 seats is truly democratic and independent?
The administration of Nigeria is run from Abuja while her fate is decided in Newyork, don't push your luck too far.
I have said more than enough already, continue living in denial till you become a refugee.
I have to return to my picture viewing mode.

PARIS (Reuters) - France has ordered special forces to protect uranium sites run by state-owned Areva in Niger as the threat of attacks on its interests rises after its intervention against rebels in Mali, a military source said on Thursday.

Paris launched air strikes and sent hundreds of soldiers into Niger’s neighbor Mali this month to drive back al-Qaeda-linked rebels it said could turn the West African country into a base for international attacks.

If our BHT issues keeps growing, as it is already in about 5 countries in west Africa, we would be invaded , and the only thing that can save us, is a Syria- Russia ype of alliance, and the bill would be crazy.....we just have simpletons as leaders, who cant see more than the money they want to eat, if not, boko haram would be scared to attack our bases for fear of been hit , we are in a better position than syria, BHT are isolated, they dont live in cities and within villages, what we need is sustainable sustained massive strikes, at least 5 major different strikes every 3 or 4 days.....not these piecemeal 1 or 2 alpha jet strikes, that are not effective...... and for special forces to basically become a hunter - strike team, with right vehicles and WEAPONS.

BabaOwen:
so how should Fulani's not having lands be the problem of other Nigerians? So because they have no land give them the right to be fomenting troubles and killing people all over the country

By the time Fulani's come into your village, almost wipe out everybody living there and make your villagers refugees in another community, then you will truly know the difference between a failing state and a failed state.

More than 48 people were killed in a village in Niger state last week, you should go and ask those people if Nigeria has failed them or not.

A village with no power supply, no good road the people there only earn a living by farming. Now Fulani herdsmen invaded their village and killed them... To those villageris Nigeria a failed state or not?

Sizzorkay:
Everyone should calm down, to those with doomsday prophecy, the moment BH reach the economic engine of Nigeria, aka Western Interest, then perhaps that invasion would come, but some of you guys failed to realize that Nigeria isn't an enemy to any of the powerful countries out there, so instead of running your mouths about an invasion, what they would do is offer Nigeria military assistance, not invade Nigeria by force, ever heard of a collaboration? If Nigeria were an enemy state, then we can talk about them invading us.
Supposing this BH issue was happening in Lagos and the oil producing states, yes Western countries would have had boots on the ground actively helping us by now, but the north east doesn't have that much economic impact that negates what the West would call interest, therefore their interests aren't being threatened, so forget about an invasion. it will not happen.
Our Govt working with them though, that could happen if the Nigerian Govt ends up losing control, all they have to do is ask US, UK and in general Nato for assistance, if it aligned with their interest, they will send soldiers.

That is my own ignorant view sir, thank you very much

Tobiloba2407:


you really think this westerners like us, what recent western weapon are we using to fight in THE NE? turbo prop plane that has been paid for, they want to use 4 to 5 years to build, knowing fully well, we have critical security issues, and you think they are not looking for an excuse to invade us, and turn us to a cash cow like Iraq?

GeneralFarouq:

U are not rational at all... Speaking in emotions rather than intellectuality....advocate of disintegration... Well lucky u, citizienship by birth cannot be atken away from guys like u.... Other wise the govt should send u to a " working country"... hope u know u can get a car to Ghana Look at u... Completely honourless... Creating confusion , when real men, whether Igbo, Yorubas and Hausa-Fulani are there defending their country with their lives... You are sitting safe at Ur home typing nonsenses.......
Well it is real that defend pussies like u so enjoy Ur privilege

EVarn:
You see, international politics is not guguru and epa politics,it is politics of interest. World powers won't just commit billions of dollars and various strategic military hardwares into a conflict simply because they watched our suffering on CNN and were moved to tears.

For the mean time,the major foreign powers have very little strategic interest in West Africa, unlike what obtains in the Middle East. Invading Nigeria will cause an implosion in sub-saharan Africa,everyone is aware of that.

I think the war will be won decisively when those in charge become more serious.

You believe a Nigerian invasion will implode sub-saharan Africa with refugees but you don't believe that terrorists taking control of Nigeria's most populous areas streched deep into the Sahel will produce the same effect?
You seem not to know that Nigeria aiding ISWAP/BHT has destabilized Africa already? Sainai is almost going, Sahel is gone, Lower Sahel is gone, Lake Chad is bye-bye, the horn of Africa is gone what is left of africa?
Have you sat for a second to think whose interest Africa serve? you think the answer is Nigeria and Nigerians, or Cameroon that has no economic independence from France, or Chad whose annual budget is approved in a tea room in Ellse palace after their politicians and so called financial experts are done monkeying about?

Are north east Nigerians not refugees already in Cameroon & Benin republic? Add North west to it and tell us if you haven't imploded already.
The refugee spread isn't gonna spread down south neither will the insurgency for very obvious reasons.
It doesn't mean that iSWAP at some point won't strike strategic targets down south for propaganda and morale boosting.
ISWAP in Lake chad unlike BHT is not on a civilian hunt, they are merely being taxed while ISWAP perform the role of government and adjudicator, such a situation wont unleach a Syrian kinda humanitarian catastrophe on migration. Have you asked yourself why civilians were hailing ISWAP during the Dapchi girls drop off saga?

Im not talking about an "Assad must go" kinda invasion no!! Its the invasion that permits them to freely operate on Nigerian soil as an occupying force, that will open the flood gates of weapon testing, battlefield scenario studies and Nigerians will become the ultimate collateral damage.

Several interests are at stake first is China's growing influence in Africa taking out IMF and world bank market shares with his more attractive Exim bank loans by implication, owning most of African infrastructure.

Chinese & Russian arms sales to African countries, chinese incursion into African resource fields hitherto controlled by the west.
The vast resources of the Gulf of guinea which America feels presently their companies don't have the lion's share.
A US naval fleet in the Gulf of Guinea will be very strategic to their interests, especially in supporting Indian Ocean operations and elsewhere.

The day most of you cheering this mess will have the privilege of sitting on that table where Nigeria's fate is decided, it will dawn on you that the annihilation of a Nigerian Battalion is nothing by consequences when compared to Iswap driving around with our trucks in the eyes of the West.

Nigeria has officially been notified, the media blacked it out, we hurriedly retooled the NNSBS for the job, few months later, ISWAP took their patrol boats, do you sincerely think that incident won't have consequences?

As at today, the west view Nigeria as a supplier of manpower, tools & equipments to terrorists like Iran was called the central bank of terror landing it in her 4th round of security council sanctions, despite having the support of 2 members on that table, Nigeria has no-one on that table and you still doubt me?

France has already made it explicitly clear to Nigeria that her inactions is destabilizing his babies Niger, Cameroon and Chad and must do something about it, the negotiation window is as good as shut, our military 3 wise men are now scratching their heads how to convince the CIC to reopen negotiations, apparently CIC will be in Paris before this year runs out,
Iranian revolutionary guards just landed on US foreign terror list, guest who is next??
you have no idea what is coming.
