tempest01: God dey....but how do dey get these ied's through the border? Cos I don't think we available the local capacity to make them...fg shouldn't just. Contain the menace, they should tackle them from all angles...cut off the supply of the raw materials, cut off the finances, cut off favourable conditions, we should see progress. It's not by just budgeting big money for security, people up there should work hard as a team with a common goal. Objectives should be set, progress should be evaluated, new methods devised. We will learn a lot as a nation after this BH menace.
