So, you don't know that Buhari and Apc are perfect and blameless. All their policies are correct. Change! Change!!!;. Mtcheeeew

BH is no more child's play.

buhari is corrupt. Means to sypho
ne our money

Ola17:
Why is APC doing almost all the same thing it criticized the previous administration of?

Na wah. I'm still waiting for the 'change' they promised us.

Because they had only one agenda which was to remove GEJ. They had no agenda for Nigerians. They only made false promises. There e-warriors are still not ashamed to condemn all these.

They were making promises during the election and when they were asked how they would actualize their promise, they would run away from it or give false answer.

Buhari was asked how he was going to achieve some of the promises he made considering that oil price was going down by Amanpour and she said that the monies he would recover from whoever and that pluging holes would do. But we told them that GEJ had plugged majority of the holes and they knew it but chose to lie to their gullible and selfish followers. Now, here we are, he is either denying the promises or blaming PDP...Uwa ntooo

IT IS WRITTEN: MY PEOPLE PERISH BECAUSE OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

BUHARI HAS NO VISION AND NO MISSION FOR NIGERIA

TAKE OUT TIME TO READ THIS: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/matthew-kukah-diagnoses-buhari-nigeria/

Some of us know PDP leaders aren't doing enough, but the fundamental hypocrisy that characterises the CHANGE Mantra has made it difficult for people like me to join the APC.

Hired or borrowed mercenaries, boko haram must be defeated and that is what counts.

Chukwu okike abiama please let bokoharam finish those mercenaries, as Nigeria is holding biafra, let Nigeria be cursed and bokoharam bomb 5 places in lagos and abuja tomorrow killing millions of people. Ise ise iseee

may Amadioha strike your generations.iseeeeee!!!!

Well, yes, PMB might have said some stuffs during campaign,cos he wanted to win an election, but really who cares how they crush boko haram, all that is important is that they are crushed

Is a shame that some nigeria youths don't read to comprehend. If presidential spoke person says nothing like that happened , what's the need for arguement? Should we rely on unconfirmed report?

The easiest thing in life is to criticise, if in doubt ask Buhari and Lai Mohammed. Genuses outside but dollards inside. With thevway Mohammed pontificate on Nigeria problem before election one will think Nigeria would have become an eldorado by now.

I was part of those that condemned GEJ lead administration when we heard that SouthAfrican machineries were engaged in for bokoharam... Now PMB lead administration is doing so too....This means Nigeria Army is not capable of fighting Bokoharam.....Our defense as a Nation is finished!
We are not safe!
I say sorry for ridiculing GEJ administration "On this particular issue "

We are still waiting for APC and Alhaji Lie Mohammed's apologies...

IYANGBALI:
must they disclose all these to the public and boko boys?

I wonder oh

Nigeria has hired mercenaries to combat Boko Haram as military chiefs face a December deadline to crush the militants, according to senior military sources.

Turkish news agency, Anadolu Agency, reports that the mercenaries, estimated at around 250 personnel and hired from South Africa-based private contractor Specialized Tasks, Training, Equipment and Protection (STTEP), are being deployed along with fighter jets in Operation Fire Force, a source at Nigeria’s defense headquarters said on condition of anonymity.

“The mercenaries have been reengaged and their platforms are being deployed,” the source said. “By platforms, I mean fighter jets, helos [helicopters], coms [communication], surveillance, medics, etc.”

STTEP includes veterans from the South African apartheid era who will work with and train a Nigerian strike force, according to the source.

Another army source confirmed the development to Anadolu Agency. “There is definitely something happening in that direction,” the source said, again on condition of anonymity.

According to STTEP’s official website, the company’s trainers and advisers are drawn from “conventional, clandestine, and covert units of the pre-1994 South African Defense Force”.

It claims to have a proven track record of success in Africa, the Middle East, the Far East and Central and South America.

Describing the use of mercenaries to fight militants as “shameful” during the March 2015 election campaign, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the practice. Buhari, a retired general, said the practice represented the depth of weakness of the Nigerian army.

Asked why the Buhari administration is again deploying mercenaries, the defense HQ source said it appeared to be the most practical option if headway was to be made against militants whose guerilla tactics are new to the Nigerian military.

Nigeria claimed significant success against the militants in the run-up to the March election, with some analysts crediting the mercenaries.

Boko Haram threat

Boko Haram has emerged as a serious threat in Nigeria. More than 1,700 people have been killed since Buhari took office on May 29, according to an Oct. 7 report from the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law. Since then, more than 100 have died in suicide bombings in Borno and Yobe states.

According to the army HQ source, the Buhari administration initially terminated the mercenary contract because it was “opaque and without accountability”. However, a new agreement was reached to boost the counterinsurgency operation.

“As it stands now, huge amounts of monies are owed to the contractors as fulfillment for the previous engagement,” the HQ source added. “So they are starting a new engagement for an initial period of three months. As for their outstanding balances, investigations are being carried out to ensure everything is above board.”

The Nigerian military did not respond to Anadolu Agency’s request for comment.

However, presidential spokesman Garba Shehu denied the government was engaging mercenaries again.

“It is true that the previous administration hired South African mercenaries to fight Boko Haram,” he said. “They, however, left with the government that brought them.”

“Since coming into office, this government did not have any engagement with mercenaries of any kind and there are no plans to do so.”

Siphiwe Dlamini, a spokesman for the South African National Defense Force (SANDF), said his country did not have any troops in Nigeria but could not say if private mercenaries were operating there.

“I wish to reiterate there are no SANDF personnel in Nigeria fighting Boko Haram,” he told Anadolu Agency. “If there are South Africans who are there as you allege they are not our members but private citizens.”

“I cannot comment on what private citizens are doing in any part of the world.”

STTEP did not respond to emailed requests for comment.

Earlier this year, South Africa’s Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula issued a stern warning to South African mercenaries, saying they had no business in Nigeria and should be arrested on their return.

“Now that the matter has been brought to our attention, it is [up to us] to verify that information as the government,” she told broadcaster SABC at the time. “The police have a responsibility to make sure that when they come back these people are arrested.”

South African law forbids its citizens from participating in foreign wars. Most South African mercenaries are believed to be soldiers who fought for the apartheid regime.

Impending campaign

The Nigerian army has spoken about impending military deployments against Boko Haram, saying in a statement over the weekend that the country’s sovereignty was under threat.

“The next few days would be crucial to the operation Lafiya Dole [Peace by Force],” army chief Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai said in a message to troops. “It is also crucial to our country Nigeria. Our sovereignty as a nation is threatened.”

“The Nigerian army and indeed the military as the symbol of our nationhood is being challenged. Our ability to stand and defeat the Boko Haram terrorists in the next few weeks will determine the future of our country.”

The use of mercenaries is not a new phenomenon in Nigeria’s conflicts. Hundreds of French mercenaries fought on the side of Biafran rebels against the Nigerian army in the late 1960s.

However, recall that President Muhammadu Buhari recently gave a December deadline to the military to end the insurgency ravaging the north-east.

But in a dramatic u-turn last Monday, Service Chiefs told the President that their effort to completely rout out Boko Haram insurgents in the insurgency-ravaged region, may not be feasible after all, as it was being threatened by weather and logistics.
