This operation is bound to fail as it lacks sensitization. You need to see primary school children running for their lives as men in uniform and masks stormed schools in Nkpolu Rumuigbo area of Port Harcourt with their immunization kits!

What are they going to do about Buharis kinsmen who are 'mere' criminals that just slaughtered 29 people in Plateau State? Will they declare Operation Cattle Dance and Smile 1?

Exactly. Like killing one million people in search of 10,000 terrorists. That's genius, isn't it?

I don't just argue these days except I'm paid or I feel like. I'd treat any dissent the same way. It takes a man with a battered self esteem, poverty of the mind and poor sense of history to see Buhari as a demigod.

Good. A good Army is one that is regularly exercised by Operations whether on its own or in conjunction with the Armies of other nations . Before now the fear of Coup d’etat has starved our Defence Forces of such.

I have always asked this tribal people to show me the legal documents recognizing the so called "geo-political zones"....There is one Nigeria and there are 36 states...any other thing is a figment of your imagination....shikena

My friend, you're just like me...honestly. I always wonder why most Nigerians dwell so much on being clannish & tribal? Nigeria is one country with 36 states & shouldn't be about 1 country with several clans but sadly that's how most Nigerians see things.

A lot of Nigerians believe it's either you're for my tribe or region or you're against it. WTF? It irritates me!

What is the definition and purpose of the Nigerian Army?...

Crovodile smile or python dance are simply training exercises organised by the army; and of course they lend support to local security forces (police or civil defence etc) during the course of the training exercise. Training exercises are not unusual for any military in any part of the world... But as usual, everything in Nigeria today is now viewed from the myopic lense of politics, hence all the nonsense uproar over the exercise by people who now see it as 'their enemies' coming to kill them. But then, that some people now choose to see the military as their enemies becayse they dont like the CinC, that wouldnt stop the military from carrying out their standard exercises.

A simple fact is that if anyone is law abiding, they wouldn't even notice the presence of the military men in the 2 weekd duration. Python dance was completed in 5 SE states, people in Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu only heard about it in the news, they never saw any soldier.

FELLOW SOUTHERNERS, OPERATIONS CROCODILE SMILE AND PYTHON DANCE ARE NOT SECURITY TRAININGS FOR THE ARMY, AS CLAIMED.

IT IS AN OCCUPATION OF OUR LAND BY THE HAUSA/FULANI JIHADIST ARMY.

THIS IS NOT THE ARMY WORTHY OF OUR CO-OPERATION AS RIVERINE PEOPLES.

PLEASE, DO NOT CO-OPERATE WITH THE JIHADS.
Are you starting the same rhetorics that got Nnamdi Kanu into trouble? You know the internet isn't as anonymous as you think.

Background on Exercise Crocodile Smile I

Exercise Crocodile Smile I was conducted within the Niger Delta States (Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Ondo) and Ogun, in late 2016.

This exercise has been hijacked by some criminal and corrupt elements. And their modus operand is for one of them to wear mufti covering military attire; be it under neat t-shirt or military cap and be collecting money from motorist on the highway. Especially at bad portion of lagos Abeaokuta road at joju bus stop. And to cap it they demand for money as if its their birthright. whoever is not ready to comply is beaten, harassed.

You guys ain't seen nothing yet, by the time bubu is done with you guys.

Next time you will think properly before you allow any type of person to manage the destiny of a nation. You will ask about their antecedents. What they have done to develop themselves personally and what they have done for the people they wish to lead. Just chill for own, bubu is on an assignment.
