Cromcruach91:and the attack can't be prevented by downsizing the shopping mall with the highest threat |

Cromcruach91:But the military can find troops to deploy for Operation python dance right? But not enough troops for the "huge" land mass in the north. |

Cromcruach91: The army does not need to defend all 500 schools before they can defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria, they only need to improve on their trainings, ease of deployment and equipment. For Boko Haram to drive into dapchi or any other school, carry out their operations and drive back to based would require nothing less than 6 hours. A military that cannot be deployed in 6 hours to confront an attack within its territory is not worth to be called an army. It simply means a foreign power can invade the country and over run most of the country before the army can put up a response. So what was the use of all those Chinese satellites we said we launched if it cannot be used to track invaders with numerous trucks?
As I said soldiers need not be stationed at every school. As you already noted a few soldiers cannot withstand an army of Boko Haram fighters. Are you telling us that there is no army based or barracks in burno? A moderately equipped army must have attack helicopters and transport aircrafts for fast deployment. We are also supposed to have an airforce that could be deployed to area of conflicts within minutes. I thought the government said they borrowed $1 billion to but equipment to fight Boko Haram? Where are they? Police are not trained or equipped to fight insurgency or organised armed groups. It is the job of the military to defend against foreign and internal armies.
Civilian JTF would not work in the long run as they cannot confront trained fighters who are maintained by local or foreign enermies. This is a job for the military. 1 Like |

So what can you do apart from wearing over starched uniforms and feeling like Ramos. You cannot protect the country You cannot discipline your men Now you admit you cannot protect schools. |

In other words they don't have the capacity to defend Nigeria. What a shameful confession. But they claimed to have defeated Boko Haram. |
Re: We Don’t Have Capacity To Defend Schools From Terrorists’ Invasion – Army by olalat(m): 4:48pm On Mar 23, 2018 |
Cromcruach91:you are right with your suggestion but I think civil defense officers should be trained on combat techniques and be deployed to those ares instead of hanging under the trees idle. Good move by the President. Nscd, its time to justify your pay. |

Cromcruach91: Hmm sorry to quote you. But I will disagree with you to an extent. If two I mean just two gallant soldiers were on that school, it would discourage book boys from attacking them easily. 2 Book haram have not openly tell us what actually is their problem or request. On like naija Delta who comes up with their grievances. 3 That statement is detrimental to our security system also poses a bad record and reputation to our stands before our visitors. It also purely mean that we don't have security in this Nation. Finally if we cannot deployed soldiers to those schools why don't you have them on road blocks. Remember this very one happened when they withdrew their solders from road. Now IG said last time that he is going to withdraw all personnels attaching to VIPs so why did he changed his mind? Thank you. |

Cromcruach91: Police can't handle sophisticated terrorists like boko harm unless federal government armed them with military armaments like Rpg, bazooka AA etc |
Re: We Don’t Have Capacity To Defend Schools From Terrorists’ Invasion – Army by Nobody: 6:25pm On Mar 23, 2018 |
wirinet: Well, you said that the army can't be deployed to all schools.... Which means Boko will just focus their kidnapping effort on the schools where there are no troops. You have confirmed my point. Also, fast deployment you have in mind ...the problem is, boko might just simply use their hostages as civillian shields.....(There is a reason why even though I did not like GEJ, I still liked the fact that he did not go rushing in to save the Chibok girls.....). |
Re: We Don’t Have Capacity To Defend Schools From Terrorists’ Invasion – Army by Nobody: 6:27pm On Mar 23, 2018 |
yhormite: How do you determine the shopping mall with the highest threat? The security report said 'a shopping mall in Abuja might be attacked'...which means any and every mall in abuja at that time was under equal threat of attack. Only way to know the exact target would have been to find out what was happening in the mind of the bokoists...not an easy thought. |

Cromcruach91: The south have been crying for State police, for community police, but the North are probably of the opinion that it would be an avenue for the South to be fully armed for a possible break away from Nigeria, so they would rather let there people continue to suffer from the ravages of boko haram. The South has finally been vindicated the only solution is for us to have state police and also community policing. |

TheAlchemist: State police costs a lot of money, plus, they probably won't be able to deploy men to all places. Remember Boko does not need to attack all schools...they just need to attack one remote school (Chibok and Dapichi are in rather remote areas.) with a whole lot of resources. The best a state police could do is deploy just about five men to a school....plus state police is not easy to fund.(My problem with state police is not that it is a bad idea...but which state can fund state police adequately....with enough arms for all of them. Not all our federal policemen are armed by the way.). And I can just see a scenario where there are five lightly armed policemen guarding one school...in a remote location...facing off against a group of 40 or 50 bokoists...armed with RPG, machine guns, and IED's. The state police will withdraw (and don't talk about rapid response via helicopter...) |

The CJTF was getting the job done at some point. But some fool in govt or the security apparatus is afraid of them growing wings, so they would let them arm themselves with anything other than Dane guns. This war is almost lost. And continuing the wrong strategy will only lead to wrong results. let us start the experiment of localizing of the police in the north east. 1) With immediate effect, let the cjtf carry assault weapons like the kamajors eventually did in Sierra Leone . They should be funded by the state govt, and a state panel that includes the governor, mayors, judiciary and traditional rulers will over see their command and conduct. This will form the nucleus of the state police force . NPF existing forces from the state should be sent home to augment this force. This state gendarmerie will be provided for by the security vote and state IGR. NA should only remain a back up to this force.. |

CodeTemplar: Nigerian armed forces are very reflective of the indepth, ingrained and endemic corruption that pervades every area of government. Modern armies do not rely on numbers to monitor and police an area but on an entire connective modern communication infrastructure, pro active contingency plans, interfacing, rapid response and fit for purpose precision weaponry. Has anybody ever wondered why our casualty rate is so extremely high, look at the number of officers that have been lost that we know about. Consider them.tje number of NCO'S lost and you will realise there are too many questions not answered. We are not France but consider Operation Serval which was instituted to oust Jihadist groups that nearly over ran the entire North of Mali. About 4000 French armed forces personal were committed to the operation. To date not more than 25 soldiers have been lost over the near three years of the operation. Compare that to the thousands of Nigerian armed forces personal committed to the North East. We do not know how many soldiers have been lost, thousands or hundreds. I will leave it at that as this is a topic that's close to my heart. I don't often talk about it anymore. |
