Opinion: Defeating Boko Haram Completely by jalay(m): 8:11am On Apr 05, 2019
The most threatening escalation of savagery in west Africa, particularly Nigeria is fueled by jihadists group Boko haram, Over decades emanating from the northern part of Nigeria. The ferocious act which began in 2009 till date has involved various organisations and governmental levels for a final defeat of this insurgency. These violent group which estrange itself from western education, social and publics unleash terror both on Christian's and muslims, public places through suicidal. Killing tens of thousands in recent month with rates frequently exceeding. This vicious Islamic group funded by Muammar Gaddafi who wanted Nigeria to break into a Christian south and Muslim north recruits from Ragtag team of local Nuisance. Following other radical Islamic terrorist groups of Al Qaeda in middle east, Jemaah islamiyah in Asia, Real Irish Republican Army(RIRA) in Europe and ofcourse ISIL lately pronounced defeated by Donald Trump has given hope that vanquishing the group may be a quixotic goal.
Today, while it is impossible to definitively ascertain the beginning of the end came through the concept of President Buhari last December to declare that "technically we have won the war", yet it's clear that the president's pronouncement of victory was premature.
The struggle to build its nation lies in its economic growth and development which should be demonstrated by deploying a sustainable winning strategy by the federal government to continually fulfil its rightful obligations and not a grapevine, half truth or lying stories. The need for Military strategy should be x-rayed to tackle the scourge of terror and mayhem in the country. The first step is indeed raising the capacity of the armed forces to continue to degrade the fighting capacity of the insurgents.
Measures on Getting it Right
1. Military Campaign: This very need is mostly essential by president Buhari to take the bull by the horn as a major quest for his government in achieving the final defeat of Boko haram not a mere hold speech. The use of western assistance of United state of America and United Kingdom would greatly help 95% halt of insurgency as in case of ISIL. Training and intelligence support with collaboration of sub-regional military jointly work by waging offensive attack. Combating this insurgency should be fully equipped with sophisticated weapons, tanks, armoury, use of Air strikes in areas field with this jihadist terrorist. Top military officials have a duty to call for stronger operational security and to fortify its combat strength.
This need is essential with enhancements of military welfare which will certainly boost morale and reduce unemployment rate among Nigerians for possible recruitment. Wherefore to prove Nigerian wrong Communication strategy and mapping intelligence should be enhanced to avoid possible blockage of ambush of Nigerian military by the dreaded boko haram.
Furthermore, most captured Boko haram terrorists shouldn't be allowed amnesty of any sort. The country itself has been ploughed into poverty rating 85% in the north, why won't the government improve more in the social welfare even in the IDP camps.
2. Political correctness: Today we are faced with politics and political party ambitions which has halt the need to defend our territory. The quest for power and need to fulfil campaign promises is a mouth say. Since the assumption of APC, killings, kidnappings, thuggery, SARS brutality, bribery as seen by Kano Governor are Mark's of failure of Mr Buhari to bring to quick justice and ensuring evil vices are reduced to barest minimum. Comparing Nigerian politics to outside world is a jinx that should give us sense and to do better. It is highly recommended that leaders holding this position to also respect rule of law, protect human rights and stop meddling with our fundamental rights. These all demand fundamental new approaches and all are hampered by the deep seated deficiencies of the Nigerian state and its ruling elites.
3. The citizens: In every way shouldn't cause a divide and rule base on culture, tribe and religious believe. To attain a successful approach to defeating Boko haram where Nigeria as a nation, i recommend good thought, oneness, calm and peaceful solidarity to completely change what has befallen this great nation. Spread love and live in peace.

Very good and relevant topic anyday. Thanks.

Let Nigeria, through the NASS make The Exclusive List of the 1999 Constitution INCLUSIVE to our 36 Constitutional States. Afterall, Governors are more responsible for Governance of the Grassroots than Mr. President.
With the Exclusive list now shared as requested above and the Control of Police, Resources and Election rest on State Governments, State Governments can device potent strategies to prevent strange and allien unauthorised movements in their Borders. Bokoharam will stop forthwith.
