Pls I still don't understand what dis "carrot and stick" approach means- I don't know weather its and idiom or a parable self, pls can u explain it in details to me and possibly with ref? Thanks.
Actually, I fink what d man in d interview said is true because if BH is truly gonna be eradicated by Dec I'm sure by now Nigerians ought to have been seeing some level of calmness and restoration of peace in the region affected but notin of such instd Bombs r still going off and ppl r still dying. God help dis country sha d tin done tire me dat its no more news and sympathetic again. Its kinda look normal now.

It is a reference to a cart driver dangling a carrot in front of a mule and holding a stick behind it. The mule would move towards the carrot because it wants the reward of food, while also moving away from the stick behind it, since it does not want the punishment of pain, thus drawing the cart.

Hmm... Intelligent tough, though I c no "solutional" approach in dat scenario of tackling the BH maniac because notin looking at the scenario deeply, d cart driver(FG) is in a continues struggle to get to his destination while d mule keeps moving and wen the cart driver stops it also stops. Meaning it will continue its usual sleeping, looking or snoring behavior wen left alone. D question now is dis. How long do u keep chasing ur enemies knowing ur punishment can eliminate them? Why not kill d mule instead and then trek to ur destination on foot?? So I don't fink the carrot and d stick approach will work. In another angel, where r u even chasing d mule to Neighboring street? With borders and securities? Will they accept them? R u gonna wait at the boundaries 4 ever to ensure they don't return? Are u gonna empty a river because u want an ocean? Imporsicant!!!

Well, serious people give deadlines. Also, they don't say never. The Presidency gave a mandate to the army to do it's job by the end of the year. A disciplined army(zombie) says YES SIR. That's military for you, it's not politics, they work with order or command. Even in establishment, when the CEO, HOD, manager or oga gives deadline or target, the employees struggle to achieve and even surpass it. There's something that links success with goalsetting, winners understand this. Mediocres and wailers don't.

There is no way you can wipe out terrorism, it can only be contained. Any person who tells you that it will be wiped out is being economical with the truth.

Only a fool sets goals arbitrarily. The Nigerian army and Fed Govt are underrating their enemy and this is very dangerous. I watched Channels TV report on yesterday's attack on Geidam and I was amazed at the level of delusion expressed by the Army Chief.
Imagine Buratai telling his boys that Boko Haram are not trained fighters, Immediately knew we had a big problem in our hands.
Please go through this link and check out what our dear army is up against.

Setting a three months target to quell insurgency is not an arbitrary goal but a very achieveable goal. The boko haram foot soldiers running through villages and towns, killing people, and causing mayhem are not as well trained as the soldiers. Maybe their financiers/sponsors are trained, but not the folks that do the job. These are the ones to whom Buratai referred. They were the ones that held that attack for hours yesterday.

I'd have to disagree with you on this one; Firstly, there is nowhere in the world presently where insurgency has been completely wiped out, even in places where world military heavyweights have been involved. So for a government to come in and hastily give a 3 months deadline for crushing BH when the same government have refused to appoint its cabinet siting the lapses in the handover from the past administration as an excuse leaves a lot of questions to be asked. because if the task of naming your cabinet requires you to carefully analyze handover reports first, is it fighting insurgency that will be that easy?

Please check out the link I posted earlier, some revelations there are worth noting
The fact is that these insurgents are well trained on weapons handling as well as guerrilla warfare tactics; we have seen them commandeer armored tanks and effortlessly use them; also remember the 911 attack on the US soil, the terrorists where even trained as pilots. This is 21st century insurgency for you and not the Maitatsine group of the 80's.

On "no where in the world", there's always a first. America don't have to do it before we copy them. We did it in 1984 BTW. Also, setting deadline or time is very good. It helps assessment and commitment. Even our general every day class assignments may not be done or taken seriously without submission time and deadlines. There's extra gear of psychological seriousness that comes with setting time. On boko haram boys, their foot soldiers are mostly ragtag poor children/youths indoctrinated and set to die. At the top, yes. Their sponsors are trained, but the boys running around villages, mba.
