One patriotic mumu will soon come and tell me this kind of thing happens in the USA

Foolishness and political correctness will never make us crush insecurity in Nigeria. OBJ made it clear, Fulani herdsmen should be ruthlessly crushed. Let the herdsmen go back to sokoto or zamfara if people from other tribes do not want them to settle on their land.

You can't come to my farmland, ruin my farm with your malnourished cows all in the name of one Nigeria.

For this country to be able to take a great leap, we need to change the way we run things, if we're scared of the sentence "division of Nigeria" we can just practice confederation, this way we can make the 6 geo political regions strong republic under the Nigeria federation. The geopolitical region should have their own security operatives(military and non military) the federal government will only be in charge of foreign affairs and currency. Once we practice this confederation, any region that wants to practise full sharia will be able to do so, and anyone that wants to turn is region to a ranch will also do so.

I can assure you 100%, nothing will happen to the herdsmen that committed this crime against humanity, buhari won't even say anything concerning it.

As for me if IPOB can be proscribe a terrorist group, I see no reason why Fulani herdsmen won't also be proscribe a terrorist group.

It seems the unity of Nigeria is more important than the lives of the people living in this mere geographical expression.

18 Islamic State Terrorists Killed In Joint Operation With American Troops In Niger




http://saharareporters.com/2019/06/21/18-islamic-state-terrorists-killed-joint-operation-american-troops-niger

Eighteen members of the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara were killed in a joint operation by US, French and Niger troops near Niger's border with Mali, the defence ministry said Tuesday.

"Important[b] material was recovered including equipment belonging to the Niger armed forces[/b] which were taken by the attackers after the ambush," the statement said.

The United States has a big base for drones in the northern city of Agadez and Niger recently gave the Americans permission to arm their drones.

The French also have a military base near Niamey airport and another at Madama in the north. Various insurgent groups operate in the country's west and north, and Nigeria's Boko Haram is present in its southeast.

The drone is a US navy prototype. The whole thing was deliberate. The US is looking for a casus Belli to attack Iran.

Honestly speaking I don't think the Iranians can withstand America's firepower. Forget about the issue of Russia backing Iran when push comes to shove Kremlin will find their way, they too wanna make money from the sales of weapons to Iran.
Nobody prays for war but if common sense don't prevail, Nigeria will be a huge beneficiary from the possible hike in oil prices.

I am happy someone mentioned this; what it means is that Nigeria has fallen under the hammer of the global hawks as recent as 5yrs ago, apparently, we didn't learn from that experience, now listen up, there was nobody in Obama's security circle that didn't want the US to make that money from Nigeria make no mistakes about that, jonathan committed several global blunders, not only did he pay for it with his office, he narrowly escaped with his life, that phone call to PMB was his ticket to a new life.

Jonathan out of ethnic sentiment didn't know that what befell his administration was mere ill luck, as a result, he switched to deception mode mostly to obfuscate his southern supporters, boko haram was given a narrative of "Northern problem" instead of "National problem", every global incident was branded a scam, at a point he f00led his minions that BHT was a force to destabilize his administration, he stopped listening to foreign affairs because he believed his problem was at home, OBJ being a proxy of global hawks told him what was happening in Washington, he refused to listen, OBJ fell out with him.

The second crime of Jonathan was supporting moles in his administration that compromised the intelligence of the global hawks.
Even at that, none of these misdemeanors of his landed Nigeria in any major trouble.

The biggest crime of Jonathan was falling out with the most powerful man in congress Late Sen John Mccain (Rep) Arizona, a man that is more powerful than most African presidents by influence. The longest serving senator in the armed services committee.
Now, study that Leahy's ban on Nigeria, it was a congressional ban with Mccain's hands all over it, Mccain at a point personally threatened Jonathan with invasion, the human rights clause in Leahy's ban is nowhere comparable to what US allies elsewhere does, however, that strained relationship built on Chibok denial (at at the time he was chairing the Subcommittee on African Affairs under the foreign affairs committee in Congress), landed jonathan in a big mess.

what did Jonathan do? he claimed Chibok was a scam, the US foreign affairs committee with the assistance of Africom all the way from Stuttgart, later confirmed that abduction, Africom provided the evidence on which michelle obama and others joined the BBOG campaign.
That day was the date the global hawks marked jonathan for destruction.

Most of his minions thought that loosing that election he still had the chance to fight back, hell no, Africom SOF command was already in Ghana monitoring the elections, if he had at least refused to concede defeat, he wouldn't last the next 12 hrs.
It was Mccain that destroyed Jonathan not Obama.

Compare it with this present arms gift to boko haram and ISWAP, do you still think there won't be serious consequences on the global stage?
Don't you think we should be discussing that MNJTF for arms recovery by now? Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment.

Jonathan was booted out because he was incompetent and lackadaisical. Even he knew it. I agree that the west resented him,but ultimately,it was Nigerians who rejected him. However, of all his inadequacies, I do not think Jonathan was blinded by tribal sentiments,he was simply cautious of the Northern elites,and rightfully so. When this BH insurgency started, many parts of the muslim North saw it as a just cause. Even the current president at a time was once quoted saying "a war against Boko Haram is war against the North",some elites demanded that BH be given amnesty in form of monetary inducement. Of course,it was only natural for Jonathan to be wary of the North,and all the events surrounding the region; hence,to him,BH was a northern project to destabilize his government. He wasn't just selling the story,he actually believed it. To an extent,it was even true.

The Obama administration took a hard stance against Jonathan because they perceived his government as highly corrupt and inefficient. A government that even went ahead to deny the abduction of the chibok girls for over a month, an action driven by suspicion and paranoia. Obama flew circles round Africa,from Ghana to Kenya,but never stepped foot into Nigeria, that in itself was a diplomatic statement that showed the level of contempt he held for the Nigerian government. So it wasn't about John McCain, it was all about Jonathan's incompetence and Obama's disapproval.

Ultimately,if Jonathan had handled the BH situation more seriously, he wouldn't have been booted out by the Nigerian people. No matter what the US wanted.
